THE BATILE OF THE ROSES, This Dominion of ours is a rather singu- lar organization ; we have just escaped what the late Parliament were pleased to term a * dead lock," but what was in reality a *¢ dead thraw" sad when rolling in this state both parties clutching each other by their political throats, the bullies on both sides almost miraculously relaxed at once their suicidial grasp, and proposed a political millennium ; Seeing that there were neither lions nor lambs amongst thew they did not require to lie down together, aeither to dull up any further the few den- tal orguns that were left by operating to. gether upon the straw arrangement ; 50 into each others arms they flee determined on having a jubilee, and hike coun] philoso- phefs they go to work to remove the cause "of the quarrel so that the effect may for 'ever cease. For this purpose they deter "mine to unite in one band of indissoluble "anion, every place that would take any- thing to do with us, and, being so much enamoured of their new connection, they * entirely overlooked the fact that the great "body of the people should have had some it tle " wore to say and do in the matter than to be patted on the head and told to go home like good children and ask no questions, and they, our political fathers, would hunt "up a new constitution for us, and just such a one as they in their wisdom found most - convenient. This is exactly where we were to blame: We bad a perfect right to bave our voice in (hese matters, and instead of them tel- fing us what sort of constitution they _ would give us, we had a perfect right to tell them what sort of constitution we wanted, and also to whose care we wished "to commit the getting up of that constitu- tion. lad the matter been brought before the people and thoroughly examined in all its bearings we believe thet a constitution considerably different from that which we now have would have resulted from such deliberation. Besides we might have known that men who are alternately friends and foes are scarcely the men into whose hapds we should place any important trust. *~ The rea bats" of "Viiesé political gladiators on the floor of our legislative hall had cost the country thousands above thousands of pounds and very frequently withoutany good result. If two or more men are in the habit of quarreling and fighting in any of our workshops thereby annoying the workmen and retarding the work, we wisely turn them all adrift and , employ others io their stead ; ther why do we allow an everlasting quarreling and fighting in the national workshop to the detriment of the country and the annoy- ance of the members. Why don't we pick out the ring leaders and turn them about their business, and fill their places with men of honest purpose and with con.

The Act consists of XI chapters, divid- ed into 147 sections each section of which should be carefully studied, but all we con- template in the meantime is merely to refer to some of the provisions of the Act which seem to be most important to be known in the present position of affairs. The Iixecutive Authority over the Do. minion shall continue to be vested in the "| ruling sovereign of the empire.

In order to secure representation by pop- ulation in the Commons it is enacted that a census for each province shall be taken every ten years, The number 65 for Quebec is to remain staionary, and by it the numbers for the otherprovinces shall be regulated. Suppose the next census shows that Quebeo has a population ot 1,450,020 ; and Ontarid has a population of say 2,208,492. Now by dividing 1,450,020 by 65we get 22,308. Then dividing 2,208,492 by 22,- we get 99; sothat 99 would be the number of representatives to the House of Commons from Ontario till the next census. The numbers for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are found in a similar. manner. All matters with which two or more of the pibvinges hava'got to de-corhes "under the control of the Commons, or rather the Par- liament of the Dominion. The Governor General shall appoint a Lieutenant-Governor for each of the fou provinces, Thej Lieutenant-Governor and} 82 mem- bers shall form the Legislature of Ontario. These 82 members shall be chosen by the people and shall hold office for 4 years, if the House be not sooner dissolved by the Lieutenant-Governor. _ Here 82 members constitute the Legisla- tive Assembly of Ontario. The Legislative Assembly of each Province must hold a session at least oncea year. Matters of the utmost importance come within the exclusive control of the Legis lative Assembly or Local Legislature, as it is sometimes called, and very great caution ought to be exercised 1n selecting men to represent us in the Assembly. Wa refer to Ontario alone in what follows. The fol- lowing subjects will come under the exclus- ive control of the Assembly viz: : 1st. Laying on direct taxes for 2 revenue for Ontario, 2nd.

There are many more opportunities we believe in the Assembly than in the Commons for rimming favoritism and general scheming. The management and sale of the public lands, and alsa of the timber on the same will furnish many golden opportunities for trickery and fraud. Again granting tracks of public land to pet railways or pet canals or other pet undertaking--however unpro- ductive the undertaking may be--will be the order of the day, if we allow parties to go there who know no interests beyond that of self. We would be very sorry indeed to lift our voice against public improvements. It ie against those unproductive works agitated and driven on for the sole purpose of en- riching a few at the cost of the community, that we inveigh, Suppose, for instance, that our Toronto friends should take it_iuto their heads to build the Georgian Bay Canal or any other such hap hazzard speculs- tion--notwithstanding that the assembly would have no right to grant anything, vet a grant of land or something else would undoubtedly be asked, aye, and granted too unless men of moral stamina be sent pre- pared to resist the eacroachments even of our future capital. The Executive of On- tario can change the capital of the province at will.' It may be that Toronto will not hold that position long ; but in order if pos- sible to fix it permanently there its repre- sentatives will do all in their power to draw tcwards it so large an amount of pub- lic expenditure as to render it 'almost im- possible to change. The representatives in the assembly will have all they can do in contending against the uniform tendency to centralization so eagerly sought by leading cities. Talk of Railways to some I>cal candidates, notwith- standing the patent fact that they are im- pregnatated with them to the [very core, though they may be inthe very last stage ofthe Railway Fever and grinning over the wea of a big hall, they will appear as lambs, and tell you that the house they are going to don't toulh these things, when you ques- tion them regarding their intentions in con- nection with these works--they will cooly tell the unsuspecting electors that these maiters don't come before the local legisla- ture ; "such matters all belong to the other House?" Soch assertions must force all who hear them to one of two conclusions, either that the candidate knows nothing of the duties that he is about to undeitake, or that knowing them he strives to deceive the electors, either of which conclusions ought to damn the prospects of any candidate, and secure his speedy return to his own fireside for at least another tern. i A-- ALARMING PROSPECTS, It is a fortunate circumstance that the undertaking business is generally carried on in connection with the cabinet-making so that our defunct cabinet makers can hursel themselves off without putting the country to further trouble. Poor Mr. Cauchon gave up the ghost in consequence of his failure in the cabinet line, and quietly packed him- self away. His confrere in Ontario, J. 8, McDonald, is in a rather critical state, and from all appearance he is taking his own measure for a box. Should this state of things continue long, ten to one if we don't have such a strike among the cabinet mak- ers suchas the country has uever before wit- nessed. We find that the large addition being put to the Lunatic Asylum, 'L'oronto, bas just been arrested in its progress for want of funds, Ths would certainly be looked upon es a painful circumstance at any time, but more particularly so at "the present time when the gentle influences of Luna seem to have taken hold of one balf of our biustering Capital, and when no other resi- dence appears nearly so well suited to their case. One day we find two lawyers pulling each others noses in the public Court House ; again stoning each other in the public street and going through many other similar acts of lunatic origin.-- Would any sane men, any men short of the last stage of lunacy act in such a manner as to merit the gracious epithets bestowed upon these rowdies by the Glube, " Ruf- fans," "Scoundrels," ¢ Blackguards" ; and certainly if one kalf that is laid to the charge of these disturbers of public meet. ings be true--if they will dare to try by brute--truly brute force to beeak up and annoy peaceable meetings because for- sooth such meeting may differ from them in politics, if as itis represented they will force themselves through the windows in upon the meetings and by fiendish yells and more fiendish actigns disturb and break up such meetings. We say if the parties unplicated are guilty of one half that is laid to their charge it would be unkind fo the lunatic to place such men in their society --they are worse than madmen, they are knaves, equally as unworthy of the fran chise as they are unable to use it honestly. rr etl --t.

The morning which had appeared rather doubttul brightened vp and ere the time ar- rived for parties to muster it turned out one of the most beautiful days that could be de- sired. After breakfast the peculiar color of the day began to manifest itself in no stinted quantity. Large numbers of tic young, the old, and the middle aged, of females as well as males, showed unmis, takable signs of the preference they had for that long cherished order by the color they displayed. As the day advanced the busy hum increased and the gathering throngs in every part of the Township turn- ed their facea towards Prince Albert. The stirring notes of the fife and the roll of the martial drums are heard all around, banners arg thrown to the morning breeze, the vari- ous lodges assemble, form themselves into ion, and march towards Prince Al- NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING _ On Sunday last while a pleasure party consisting of t¥0 or three gentlenien and ladies were out boating on Seuzog Lake the boat unfortunately upset on their re- turn and one of the geutlemen with one of the young ladies were nearly drowned. The gentleman succeeded in rescuing himself by catching hold of the boat, The young lady after going down and coming up a second time was caught hold of by a young man who happened to be on the wharf. Tue Pume.--When parties pay for dig- ging a well and putting in a pump they naturally expect to obtain a supply of water. This depends however on the sort of pump that is putin, not only as regards the supply bat also as regards the ease with which that supply is 'obtained. The Patent Swing Pump manufactured at Borelia, Reach, by v. J. Bowman 1s the only pamp we know of that can be relied on under all cir- cumstances it matters not 'how deep the well may be. The ease with which they are 'wrought is' quite surprising. SE -- -- WHEN THEY ASK A FISH THEY GET A SERPENT. The Torontonians are specially hard np for fire in winter and quite us scarce of wat- er in summer, the water being frequently turned off from some localities.

A triumphal arch was erected across Simcoe Street, and altogether the village had an imposing appearance. There were seven Lodges present, viz: Darling- ton, Cart aright, Saintfield, Strettonville, Utica, Borelia, and Prince Albert. A finer looking set of fellows is seldom met with, while their orderly manly, beai- ing did credit to themselves, and honor to the memories of the day. The Reach Brass Band under the loader- ship of Mr, G. L. Robson did excellent service, and added very much to the pleasures of the day. ~ After dinner the various lodges and their friends repaired to the Public Hall in order to attend Divine service, and to receive ad- dresses appropriate to the occasion. that the hall was erowded to its utmost ca- pacity only a portion of the large number present could obtain admittion. Mr. Kennedy P. M. of Borelia Lodge, oc- cuapied the chair, supported by somo of the chief officers from the various lodges ; amongst others we observed Mr. Hubbard, M. of Darlington Lodge, Mr. Buyers, M. and Mr. Darcy D. M. of Cartwright Lodge, --Mr. Manning M. amd Mr. Stovin D. M. of Saintfield Lodge--Mr, Long M. of Utiza Lodge,--Mr. Ceghrane M. of Strettonville Lodge,--Mr. White M. and Mr. Martin D. M. of Pance Albert Lodge,--Mr. Gimblet D. M. of Borelia Lodge,--Mr. Jennings, Dis. Seoy. J The proceedings were commenced by the Reach Band playing an appropriate air. The Rev.

Mr. White M. Prince Albert Lodge. seconded the motion which was carried most heartily. 0 The Chairman next rising thanked the assemblage for the very orderly manner in which they had conducted themselves-- notwithstanding the crowded state of the Hall--and for the strict attention paid to the various speakers. He went on in a forcible manner to show that the Orange Society had not abated either in its energy or in ita de- votion to the cause. He said that while he was willing to admit that some who claim- ed the name of Orangemen were no credit to the order yet the institution asa whole was not recreant to duty, not unfaith- ful to the trust committed to her care. Who he would ask were they who first flew to arms at the late Fenian Invasion? Who lep into the breech seekiug the post of hon- or and of danger ?

On Sabbath the services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Dunkly of Scott,who preach- ed to large audiences both forenoon and af- ternvon, The forenoon's services were chiefly directed to the school. The text was taken from Prov. 22nd ch. and 6 verse. Both services were well attended and were listengdato with marked attention. . Mr. Dunkley is an earnest able advocate of the truth. We are sory that our space prevents us from giving even an outline of his able discourses. The proceedings of Monday were also very successful, and patronized by a.large number of friends, The meeting took place in the same beautiful grove in which the Sabbath ser- vices were held. Before Tea the School children recited several pieces ; and, under the leadership of Professor Wyatt, treated us to some ex- cellent music. About 3 o'clook tea was served up in first rate style, after which a faw more pieces were recited, and some more good singing. 'Mr. Hays superiniendent 8f the school conducted the recitations. Mr. Oliver, Ashburn, was called to the chair, and Mr. Mason assstant superinten- dent read the Report of the school, showing that $22.07 had been expended during the year--that the namber of pupils is about 60 and the number of verses recited 3,141. The school is doing well, it is a eredit to the locality, and cannot fail to prove o bles- sing to the whole neighborhood. Much praise 18 due to the indefatigable superintendents and persevering teachers. The first speaker called was the Rev. Mr. Williams, minister of the circuit. He said that he was happy to meet with so large a number of children, officers and friends so many interesting themslves in the proper training of youth. He said that our lol was cast in a good land, we were surrounded by many comlorts, and had many blessings to enjoy of which the sab- bath school was by nv means the least ; but we must never lose sight of the source whence ail our blessings flow--they all flow from that Giver of all good who has bestowed so many gifts upon us, the chief of which is the Bible, his own sacred word 'written: by his inspiration. This book should be our daily study inorler 10 know its" contents, put its 'precepts into daily practice, and teach thém to our children. Jin firststate style. He Hopes that t versation of youth, and to counteract those J evil tendencies it is our duty to teach them and lead thew in the way of truth, apd the Sarbma School is eminently suited to that end. : \ t Solomon #ays « in the morning sow th seed and in the evening with-hold not thine hand." The duty of all the sabbath school Teacher parents, and all are recquired to sow the g seed and sow it right emly, it ought to be commenced in the early morn=- ing of life. He said this fact was admitted by all in regard to secular instruction, then why not with religious instruction 2 We must not enly begin early but we must con- tinue the exercise and leave the resuits to God. After the seed 13 sown it must be at- tended with the greatest oarp we must foliow it up by proper example, never for- geting for a moment that all our success depends upon the aecompanying influence of the spint of God. He said there wns great encouragement to labor in this good work, nothing could be more pleasing than to lead a child tothe feet of Jesus and see him become partaker of his grace.. 'Numbers of those who are now proclaiming the glad tidings of salvation were first brought to Christ in 'the Sabbath School. And he would only add let us one and a]l go forward with renewed determina- tion to devote nurselves more assiduonsly to the service of God, and do all in our power for the Godly upbringing of the young. Mr. Gordon was next called-- He said it «florded him much pleasrue to meet with so many friends of the Sabbath School, thure were many pleasing associations connected with such meetings, while the great variety of ideas suggested made it easy to speak on such occasions. By going back in imagin- ation, and uot a long time by any means we can conceive of the tima when the red man was lord of this fair heritage and went throngh his mystical rites with the greatest enthusiasm -- perhaps on the very pot where the higher and holier exercises of the Sabbath School are now being con- dueted. He suid that his experience in Sabbath Schools was not so very limited, he had had an experience of at least fifteen years, and he looked npon it as a work o the utmost, importance-- perhaps second in point of importance to no other in which man can possibly be engaged ; and he considers it asa daly incumbent on all who are favored with an opportunity to take part mm this good work ; men 'of the most cultivated talents, and most refined judg- ment should not deem this work of the Sabbath School beneath their notice. He would prefer being a superintendent, or teacher in a Sabbath School to being a can- didate for the highest political honors in the gif of the people. He raid that even the highest positions in the political world have their disappointments and reverses. The 1an may be on the very crest of for- deep in he trough of the sea of/politics. He said Mat if dunng a long life spent in the work ®&f Sabbath Sc teaching, he might be the mes ring'ng one child il to Christ he would look upon it as an un- speakably better reward than it is possible for the politicl world to confer vn man. The speaker regarded these anniversaries as of much importance from the social kind- ly feel:ngs that they generated, and from the opportunity they sflorded to the public of manifesting their respect for the iustitu- tion. He s=id that there was one feature intro- duced into many of these anniversaries of which he could not approve ; he referred to what the children familiarly termed "speaking pieces." He belived that a public Examination of the lessons taught in the school would be mich mme profitable and interesting to all. (Here a copious rain drove us from the bush into the church,) when Mr. Gordon resumed. Hesaid it was much more agreeable to speak within doors than in the bush, but he dil not feel much like givii g a lengthened address. Heo felt something like that wicked Eng- way tothe throne, as it 1s metaphorically expressed through a sea of blood j but as 1 all similar instances he did not accomplish his object without the aid of mercenaries, and the chief of these was the Duke of Buckingham, who in consideration of pro- mised rewards mided the King in some of his most diabolical acts. After the King had got possession' of the throne, Bueking- ham reminded him of the promises, avhen the King cooly replied that he was not in a disposition to grant rewards ; so he (Gordon) did not feel a disposition now to make a speech. He says that the orderly manner in which every thing has been conductud reflects much praise on all coucerned §° while the tea and its surron ndings had been got up prize wi.l be successful in every parlic financially as well as otherwise, as the money so raised is intended for the purchase of suitable books for the school. He would fondly hope that the books so purchased may shed a halo of light aud truth around the whole community; furnish the minds with useful knowledge, and increase the love for that most valuable of all enter- tainments, good reading, and thus employ properly those many precious hours which are but too frequently spent to little pro- fit. Now he said he had a few words to nd- ress to the children, and he would first seaek to remind them of the rapid though silent thanges that are! con- tinnally going on in ourselves and in everything around us ; that as rational beings children as well as others are every day acquiring kiowledge either for good or { for evil, that which will make them wise and ueeful or" vain and profligate. The now being taught will have became teach- ers, and the more efficiently they are now taught the more successful teachers they are likely to become. sembly be in 20 years hence? how widly may uot these youths and children be scattered abroad by that time? and will they carry with them the hallowed influ- ences of the Sabbath School ? He would agnin repeat the declaration already made ing one child to Christ than be in possess- ion of the highest honor the world can give.
