He took the cars at Ingersoll to St, ‘ Paul’s, on the Mississippi, and from thence his party made their way north- ward in carts drawn by from four to six oxen, and generally driven by the half-breeds of that region, whose zeal for employment, he said, was manifest- ed in questions like the following : ‘You, sir, punchem de bull, or me punch ’em ?’ As we moved northward through Min- nesota, we found the country abounding, in some parts, with small lakes in great number; the face of it, in some portions, being broken with numerous high hills, and in other places as level as a lake for a long distance. Our course lay along the east side of George, which is but the head of the Red River, till we crossed at George village; after which we pursued our journey along the' western side of the last-named stream till we reached Pembina on the frontier sixty miles south of Fort Garry. On our way we had to cook our own food, which, you may well expect, was not done in the highest style of the art. I shot a duck the other day, and- when it came before us at dinner it appeared to have been picked all but the pin feathers. ‘ It took us two weeks to make the trip from Ingersoll to Pembina. COST. . Sixty dollars a piece it cost us, the distance being 1,450 miles; but, you will ask, why take the route through Ameri- can territory? I answer, because, by gomg through British territory, we would have to travel 1,455 miles through forest, and the journey would take a .month. On the evening of the 10th inst., the Rev. Mr. Baldwin, of Ingersoll, highly entertained the inhabitants of Springford and its vicinity with a description of his tour to the Saskatchewan, he being one of a Baptist deputation to that coun- try last summer in connection with the mission cause. His lecture treated of the following topics.. commencing with the Written for the Chfmzz'ole. The Byron Scandal.

Here would be a fine opening for some of our young menl to go up with a steam saw-mill,as lumber sells readily at $40 per 1,000. West of Lake of the Woods, spruce, pOplar, and maple abound.

This in out all for rails for fencing, but being of exceedingly rapid growth, in nine years another crop will be fit for use. For fertility this may challenge the world, as no better can be found; and when we think of 168,000,000 acres of such land lying in a body north of the Saskatchewan, we may well wake up to the «due of that acquisition to our Do. minion, and cling to it with all our might. No man can have a. poor farm there, for the land is all good. I saw a farm there, of 300 acres, all in crop,,;and so uniform in height, you could see no difference, and the owner told me he would reap from it 1,400 bushels. This was near Fort Garry. I say again, the land here is of unparalleled fertility; and to our young men, I would say, take you a Canadian wife and go to Red River,but don’t go there and take up with a half- breed like too many do. C LIMATE. Look at the map, and you will see that the line 50 runs through both To~ ronto and Red River, and the latter is on the same isothermal line of heat as Toronto, with the exception that the mean heat of several plachs for many years has been one degree warmer at. lied River, so it has that advantage in climate over us. But the winters there are more uniform than here, there be- ing no thaws as here, and no snow-ball- in , as the boys can’t pack the snow into ba ls, it being too dry. The snow never falls there more than a foot in depth, while south, in Minnesota, it falls four or five feet in depth. All the shelter cattle‘need here is a cover overhead,and the working cattle only get this, as the others feed in the fields all winter. The ; prairie grass comes half way up our sad- ; dles as we ride through it, and when out 'for hay, yields from two to three tons to the acre. The lecturer here showed a sample of it, remarking that it is never killed by the frost. It is a round grass growing to a point, and no seed on the t0p as is the case with our grass. He also showed some Red River wheat both 1 in the ear and grain. Its appearance was very fair. He proceeded to say that the cattle here are always fat, and that the natives when they want beef just go with their guns on the prairie and shoot what they require, and they won‘t put up with poor meat. MERCANTILE RESOURCES. l I19 went on tn allow the transit facilities of the Red River country, stated that a steam engine was wanted in the far north, the course of which from St. Pauls be traced on the map showing that by carrying it overs a portage of only three miles between two gsmall lakes it was transported by water 1200 miles to the great coal fields on the Saskatchewan. Lakes Winnipeg and Winnckoosha are, either of them, larger than Lake Erie, the latter being 270 miles long, and I have the opinion ' of an eminent engineer that forty miles lof lockages would connect our lakes iwith theirs, thus making a. continuous rwater communication from the Rocky 3 Mountains to the Atlantic through our own territory. Is it any wonder the Americans mouths should water to possess this grand country ? You have [heard of the immense coal fields on the Saskatchewan already referred to; and when I tell you that they are several hundreds of miles in extent, also that the coal bed is six and seven feet in thickness throughout, you will be able to form some estimate of its value. He traced on his large map the route of tile; .1 inerican Pacific Railroad, and ours, which is to be, showing that a rail- road from Montreal to Victoria would be 2,836 miles in lengtb,with an elevation in the Rocky Mountains, to be overcome of only 3,000 feet, while the American Pacific Line is 600 miles longer, with the difficulty of 600 feet to surmount; so that from this, and the fact that ours would be the direct line from England to China, it must draw to it the bulk of that trade. Moreover, our line would not be subject to the terrible avalanches of the American line in the Sierra Nevada, and would pass the immense copper mines, and Thunder Bay, and the great coal fields, by which these will be utilized. What will England say to all this ? Will it not bind us in still closer bonds to her, and cause her to protect uuuua lIU “bl, uuu vuuuv â€"v- v- r ______ us with all her power if necessary, for her own sake as well as ours? ‘Ve think so, and that we therefore may look forward to a state of prosperity we little dream of. But it becomes us to be a-stir, as the Americans are talking of building a road along line 45 to Puget Sound which would be 1,500 miles shorter than their Pacific line. This, however, could not compete with ours successfully. Let us then, as Canadians, feel our position and make use of it. ABOUT THE GBASSHOPPEBS. As he spoke of these, the exultent feelings of the audience seemed to have met a sudden revulsion. He said they were of a reddish color, and when we first saw them, we supposed the prairie was on fire. The sun was darkened by them, for they were in the clouds. For two whole days we travelled through them, and the grass there was all gone.g :I‘bey got into our tea, and were crushed in hundreds beneath our feet, and would eat our clothes, and gnaw even the fences. We had to strain our victuals With our hands, and I said laughingly to my cfulfillanions, I thought they would make Plckles of them, if they had them m Canada. But I believe a‘kind Provi- deuce mll remove them, as be has often scourges before. So, I say to you again, yeung men, get you a good wife, and go ‘â€" n ‘ no 'C"J' to Red River if you want a good farm- In the course of his remarks, Mr. Baldwin advengd to we present difienlnes there, and thought the best. course to adopt with the ”0519 was to oonciliate t11"“): '03 I‘Bsure them of the good inten- tions of our Government towards them; if this object can be once attained, it.

At the close, the lecturer was greeted with great applause. A great attraction of the evening,was a. pelt of a. monster of this kind, the lecture: brought with him from Red River, Your readers will hardly be prepaied for the dimensions of this huge beast, as its carcase weighed 2,200 lbs., its sk'n 185 lbs., and is seven feet seven There is scarcely a case on record where there existed a greater antagonism between an author and his pen than in the case of Sir Willirm Hamilton. In reading his pure and limpid language, it is hard to realize that he was not a ready writer. But while be occupied the chair of logic and metaphysics in University of Edinburg, and every day delivering frOm it those lectures on metaphysical science which have made him famous throughout the world, he could never take his pen at any time: apd write a certain required amount.â€" Indeed, he always took up his pen with extreme reluctance. Owing to this aversion to composition, he was often compelled to sit up all night in order to prepare the lecture which was the won- der and admiration of every person who heard it the next day. This lecture he wrote roughly and rapidly, and it was copied and corrected by his wife in the next room. Sometimes it was not finish- ed till nine o’clock in the morning, and the weary wife had fallen asleep, only to be wakeful and ready, however, when he appeared with fresh copy. A good story is told of Judge M presiding in one of the Supreme Court. districts in Western New York: An action was brought in his court for one thousand dollars for damages for assault and battery. The facts were that the defendant, while walking in the street with his wife on his arm was rudly accosted by the plaintiff, whom he had in some way offended, andjwas..9alle_d in loud and insulting terms an'Opprobious epithet. On being thus addressed, the defendant left his wife and knocked down the plaintiff, who thereupon brought this action.â€" The judge sympathized very strongly with the defendant, but, as the case was closely tried by the plaintiff‘s at- torney, he knew that if their was a peg given the latter whereon to hang an exceptien to his charge, the clever lawyer would get a new trial. So, when the violence to the law had been duly expatiated upon, in the summing up, the judge arose and charged the jury as follows : . 5Gentlemen of the jury,if the plain- tifi' had met me walking along the street with my wife on my arm, and had called me what it is not denied that he called the defendant, Ishonld have knocked him down just as the defendant did. But, gentlemen of the jury, that {snot the law. Yen may take the case gentlemen.” A“ An American wedding is thus an- nounced: “No cards. Presents, $5,000. Special trains. Letters from Grant, Sheridan and Sherman.” The jury gave the plaintifi six cents damages, without leaving their seats. Prince Arthur received New Year congratulations by cable from his royal relatives. Montreal Aldermen smoke on an av- erage $350 worth of _ cigars a year, at the expense of the city. President Grant banished wine or any thing stronger” than coffee from the White House board on New Year’s day. Holloway advertised to the extent of six hundred thousand dollars last year, and sensibly considers it a solid way of making money. No trains are run now On the Doon branch of the Grand Trunk Railway, and the station has been closed for the winter. Stratford J ail is full of paupers and lunatics.

We want in you a Christianity that we can find in the temperance of the meal, in moderation of dress, in re- spect for authority, in amiability at home, in veracity and simplicity in mix- ed so'ciety. Rewland Hill used to say he would give very little for the religion of a man whose very dog and cat were not the better for his religion. We want fewer gossiping,slandering.glutton- ons, peevish, conceited, bigoted Chris- tians. To make them effectual, all our public religious measures, institutions, benevo- lent agencies, missions,need to be manag- ed on a high-toned, scrupulous and un- questionable tone of honor, without evasion, or partisanship, or overmuch of the serpent’s cunning. The hand that gives away the Bible must be unspotted from the world. The money that sends the missionary to the heathen must be honestly earned. In short the two arms of the churchâ€"justice and mercyâ€"must be stretched out, working for man, strengthening the brethren, or else your faith is vain, and ye are yet in your sins. Friendship, founded on the principles of worldly morality, recognized by vir- tuous heathens, such as that which sub- sisted between Atticus and Cicero,which the last of these illustrious men has ren- dered immortal, is fitted to survive through all the vicissitudes of life; but it belongs only to a union founded on religion, to continue through an endless duration. The former of these stood lthe shock of conflicting opinions, and of a revolution that shook the world; the latter is destined to survive when the heavens are no more, and to spring fresh ‘ from the ashes of the universe. The former possessed all the stability which is possible to sublunary things; the latter partakes of the eternity of God. Friend- ship founded on worldly principles is natural, and, though composed of the best elements of nature, is n0t exempt from its mutability and frailty; the latter is spiritual, and therefore un- changing and imperishable. The friend- ship which is founded on kindred tastes and congenial habits, apart from piety, is permitted by the beni city of Provi- dence to embellish a wor d, which, with all its magnificence and beauty, will shortly pass away ;' that which has re- ligion for its basis, will ere long he transplanted in order to adorn the para- dise of Godâ€"Robert Hall. â€"a bridge of gold running due north spanned the water between us and him. There he shone in silent majesty which knew no setting. We involuntarily took of? our hats; no word was said. Combine, if you can, the most brilliant sunset and sunrise you ever saw, and its beauties will pale before the gorgeous coloring which now lit up ocean, heaven and mountain. In half an hour the sun had swung up perceptihly onnhis beat, the colors changed to those of morning, a fresh breeze rippled over the flood, one songstcr after another piped up in the grove behind usâ€"we had slid into an- other day. We all stood silent, looking at our watches. When both hands come to- gether at twelve, midnight,the full round orb hung triumpheetly above the wave The child of the seaâ€"The harbor- buoy. The ocean stretched away in silent vastness at our feet; the sound of‘ its waves scarcely reached our airy look- out; away in the north the huge old sun swung low along the horizon like the slow beat of the pendulum in the tall clocir of our grandfather’s parlor corner. You cannot preserve happy domestic pairs in family jars. The following passage of graphic beauty is from the description of a scene witnessed by a Mr. Campbell and his party in the north of Norway, from a cliff 1,000 feet above the sea : There is a certain glory in the mean- est life, could we but see it. “A reckless mindâ€"a seared conscience â€"a hardened heart; one step more, and -â€"â€"a lost soul.” ‘ What is the difference betfireen a watchmaker and a jailor?

Morgan commenced life with aquart measure full of molasses, It is scarce a dozen years since Henry Clewe was an errand boy in one of the banking houses down town. The broth- ers Seligman started out in life with a pedlar’s pack. David Dows, in his younger days, retailed pork by the half l pound and molasses by the gill. H. 'l‘. Helmhold was cabin boy on the sloop Mary Jane, that navigated the Delaware . river.’ Young men who are struggling? for place and position should remember that these solid mcn, against whose ; names are set one, two, and three hun- ' dred thousand dollars of yearly income : had to battle for life just as hard as they are doing. Let them take heart ’ and never say die. After all that can be said about the advantages one man has over another, there is still a wonderful equality in hu- man fortunes. If the heiress has a booty for her dower, the penniless have beauty for theirs ; if one man has cash, the other has credit; if one boasts of his income, the other can of his influ- ence. No one is so miserable but that his neighbor wants something he pos- sesses; and no one so mighty but that he wants another’s aid. There is no fortune so good but that it may be re- versed; and no one so bad but it may be bettered. The sun that rises in clouds may set in splendor; and that which rises in splendor may set in gloom. ' Make no vows of enmity while you are smarting under a sense of neglect or cruelty; pain speaks with little proprie- ty. Busy-bodies are almost always idlers. The less business a man has the more he meddles with that of his neigh- here. Make a. note of this. Never sufi'er your courage to exert itself in fierceness, your resolution in obstinacy, your wisdom in cunning, nor your pa- tience in sullenness and despair. What- ever parent gives his children good in- struction, and sets them at the same time a bad example, may be considered as bringing them food in one and poison in another. The power of money is, on the whole, over-estimated. The greatest things which have been done for the world have not been accomplished by rich men, or by subscription lists, but by men generally of small pecuniary means. ChriStianity was propogated over half the world by men of the poor- est class : and the greatest thinkers, dis- coverers, inventors, and artists, have been men of moderate wealth, many of them little raised above the condition of manual laborers in point of worldly cir- cumstances. And it will always be so. Riches are oftener an impediment than a stimulus to action ; and in many ca- ses they are quite as much a misfortune as a blessing. The youth who inheritsi wealth, is apt to have life made tooi easy for him, and he soon grows sated l with it, because he has nothing left to desire. Alittle girl, not six years of age, Screamed out to her little brother, who was playing in the mud :â€"“ Bob, you good-for-nothing renal, come into the house this minute, or I’ll beat you till your skin comes 05.” “Why, Angelina dear, what do you mean?” exclaimed the mortified mother. who stood talking with a friend. Angelina’s childish re- ple wasa good commentary upon this manner of speaking to children: “Why. mother,you see we were playing, and he’s my little boy, and I’m scolding him just as you did me this morning." A Kentucky man who was only half 111mg by a vigilance'committee, sues the bunglers for fifty thousand damages. ‘Ah, Jemmy,’ said a sympathizing friend to 3mm who was just too late for'tho .traiu, ‘you did not. run fast enough.’ ‘Yes, I did,’ replied J emmy; ‘12:“ I didn’t start. soon enough.’ The Solid Men of New York ‘Though it may not be in your pow- er,’ said Marcus Aurelius, ‘to be a. natu- ralist. a poet, "an orator, a mathemati- cian, it is in your powei' to be a virus» 0113 man, which is the best. of all.’ One Example FolloWed. Excellent Hints. Social Equality. Small Means. A French writer hns said that to dream gloriously, you must act. glorious- ly when awake; and to bring angels down to hold converse with you in your sleep, you must labor in the cause of virtue during the day. Penmanâ€"Alphonse Lamartine said : â€"“ Poetry is the morning dream of great minds foreshadowing the future realities of life; it evokes the phant- asms of all things before the things themselves appear; itis the prelude to thought and the precurser of action.â€" Overflowing intellects, like Caesar, Cice. ro, Brutus, Solon, and Plato, begin by imagination and poetryâ€"the exuber- ance of mental vigor in heroes, states‘ men, philosophers and orators. Sad is his lot who, once at least in his life, has not been a poet.” KNOWING Oua WEAKxEssas.-â€"There is nothing that helps a man in his con- duct through life more than a know- ledge of his own characteristic weak nesses, which guarded against, become his strength, and there is nothing that tends more to the success of a mans talents that his knowing the limits of his faculties, which are thus concentrat- ed on some practical object. One man can do but one thing well. Universal pretensions end in nothing. H ighw‘aymen in the streets of San Francisco now lasso their victims.-â€" Their object is to confine his arms while they “go through him.” A Waterbury, Conn., woman picked green peas from her garden for her New Year's dinner, and t New Lon don there Is now a bed violets In full Under British law, no alien can hold real estate in England, and, in conse. quence, the Crown has seized some land near Stockwell, which belonged to the late George Peabody, that gentleman never having been naturalized. A writer, describing one of the en- gagements in the late war gives the fol- lowing interesting item : “In the battle we lost the brave Captain Smith. A cannon ball took off his head. His last words were, ‘Bury me on the spot where I fall.’ ” bloom. A vender of nitro-glycerine scattered the loungcrs in an engine-room in Titus- ville by calmly setting down a can near the fire and remarking : ‘l want to leave this glycerine here awhile until it than out.’ The Rev. Pâ€" H. Weddell,- of Glas- gow, has announced his intention of translating the Bible into Scotch if he meets with suitable encouragementâ€"the first instalment to be the Psalms. A housewife in a neighboring town- ship thought her bees would be frozen one night lately, and took the hive into the house to warm. The inmates of both the hive and the house got exceed- ingly lively, the latter at length being compelled to beat a hasty retreat from the premises. Mona Hannahâ€"Mr. Alexander Begg, (Red River Collector of Custom: to Governor McDougall), has returned to town. He is not at all no despond- ing as Mr. Albert Richards.

An old country game keeper and his wife once consulted the doctor of the parish as to the choice of a bible name for their son and heir. The doctor suggested Nimrod and that suggestion was acted upon. Sometime afterward another son was him.
