The face of his _antaconist grew black, his bloodsljot eyes stated from their seckets, and his swolen tongue protruded from his hips.

Of this large number, we may es- timate that abont two-thirds are domestic, | and the re nainder American and British.-- | I'hese facts show forcibly how important] is the influence that the press exercises in the Provinces. The editor has «very re- sponsible work to do in British America, and when he performs it with a full con- sciousness of the pawer and responsibility of bis calling, he richly merits the thanks of his fellow-citizens.-- From vn article in the New Dominion Monthly for May. A NEW BUSINESS. There is a good deal of talk in Phila- delphia .among the brokers about a fast young man whose father is overburthened with millions.

No son of mine shall be a lounger, and go to work you shall. Au the end of the week if yeu have made no choice I will stop your allowance altogether, and make you take a stool in my office, and enough you'll have of it there.' Well, Jack promised to look around and make up his mind. At the end of a week, 'sharp and per- emplory as was his way, tho old broker sang out to his son: «Well, Jack, time's up; have you made up your mind to make your own living ?' ¢« Well, father, I've been thinking of it, and have something on my mind, but it will require cousiderable capital." ¢ Capital, Jack, capital, my boy!' eaid the delighted fathar, ¢On!y tiy to make your own living, and-I will'buy you a na- tional bank, or a line of steamers.
