It righted again, and he managv 1 ed to 'scramble into it; but all the‘ others had perished. He did not see the Came“?! go defin, as the boat was quick- ly carried away from her.

Nor can tho horses harnessed abreast, draw well .with their whifiletrees ten feet long, while their heads ire eoupled close to- gether, heeanse they must travel side ways, more or less, in which position no animal can eXert all his strength to the g best advantage in hanling a load Horses draw hcsc nith the double‘l Whifiletrce just long enough to allow= them to stand close to ca ch othe1,hav ing the single whiflletree attached direct- ly Dbehind them, and just long enough to meet in the middle. W hen the double- tree is very long, each horse must draw more or less sideways, 1f the coupling lines and the neckyoke are not. made long enough to allow them to mere di- rcctly forward, without having their 'heads turned toward each other. In l o1dcr to determine the correct length of l 1 l whiflletrees, iet two horses stand side by side, with their sides three inches apart; then measure from the centre of one horse to the other, on their backs. This will give the length for a neck yoke, and the correct length for a. double whiflie- tree, between the joints where the single trees are to be attached. When a neck yoke is only eighteen inches long, l and the double tree oft‘ re proper length horses will he required to move more or less sideways. For the same reason oxen often get into the habit of hauling side- ways, because the yoke is too short â€" Neither oxen nor horses can travel ‘_casily and freely when their heads are turned toward, and their butts are from each other.

This caption may, perhaps, be misap- plied, but it is the pepnlar term given ! to the proposed “stretch from our good town to the thriving village of Mes- ford,” some twenty two miles distant to- wards the hyperborean regions. With- out, at this time, questioning the pro- priety of our neighbors in the townships of St. Vincent, Euphrasia, and Colling wood 1n rushing into debt for a railway the prOSpects of which are to say the least, chimercial, we cannot but admire their pluck and zeal in placing their :ihacks ag'unst the financial rock, and lsnmmoning the fences of that dread 1breaker to meet their challenge, ere they fly from its base. It is many months [since this proposed extension was moot- ed, and during the interim, schemes have been prOposed in kaleidoscope variety, none of which, however, have assumed anything like definite shape until the meeting at Mcaford ‘on Tuesday. At this gathering F. \V. Cdmheriand, Esq., Managing Director of the Northern R. 11., met a full meeting of the Reeves and Deputies from the townships above named. After a most searching and comprehensive address, in which he told in plain, unmistakeable terms the peo- ple of these places that they must build the road themselvesâ€"that the Northern could only assist after their taking the; leadl and that for its successful issue l they must unite locally and raise $120,- 000 in Cash, before they could hope for anything like material aid f1om the rail- road.

They took with them neilher arms nor ammunition. They were captured in Spanish waters, taken on board the Spanish manoof-war ,Uernan Cortes, then lying at Cay Com- iiites, tried by court-martial, and shot. lI‘CL, Ull ID“ IUJ -V.__ The charge on which they were tried was that of having landed 1n Cuba men and munitions for the use of the insur- gents, It has since been proved that they had done neither. '1heir captors knew f1 om the instance of the brig Galvanic that if the prisoners wete Once landed on the island ofC11ba they would be claimed by the British consular Ofol ficers; so after the cruel farce of a trial they killed them on ati uninhabited key.

Qur Dominion is undoubtedly prosperous. From one end of it to the other there is , q contentment based upon material prospe- I ‘ rity and on the fullest political liberty. In ‘ Ontario the evidences of prosperity are to be seen on every side, and confessions of a prosperous condition are abundant. . Bothl‘ i 1 natural and artificial causes are contribut 1 ing to this tortunate state cf things. The agricultural industry of the country, which is so important as the leading operation of 1 the peeple has of late years been very pro- { fitable ; good harvests and good prices have l i both combined to , reward the agriculturist. l Some other industries as lumbering, salt l boiling, petroleum mining, and refining, have attained a great development Within the past few years, and have contributed , their part to the general prosperity. The railway extensions are doing an important part in ()utaria. Confederation, by its . artificial and political advantages in faciliato l ing interprovinbial trade, is doing much to develop commerce and manufactures. The l restrictions upon foreign coal are undoubted- ly benefitting Nova Sectia, and the freedom of the tariff between the Upper and the Maritime Provinces is in turn of great ad- 3vantage to the manufacturers of Ontario and Quebec. The influx of immigration is another element of our prosperity so created ’ is sure to react and excite. Immigration 1 will continue to be attracted to Canada,and l more especially to Ontario, as long as she can show such good results.

Sitincj Smith said : When you rise in the morning, form the resolution to make the day a happy one to a fol- low creature. It IS easily done; a left 05 gattiient to the niati who neeos it, a kind word to the sorrowful, an encour- aging expression to the strivingâ€"trifles in themselves, light as air, will do it, at least for the twenty-four hours; and if you are young, depend upon it,it will tell when you are old , and if you are old, rest assured it will send you gentlyraud happily down the stream of human time I to eternity. By the most simple arith-‘ melieal sum, look at the result; you send one person, only one, happily through the day ; that. is three hundred and sixty-five during the year; and sup‘ poseâ€"you live forty years only after you commence that course of medicine, you have made 14,600 human beings happy at least for'a 'time. , Now, is this not Wvâ€"v.‘ , J complishcd for you to shy, ‘I would if Some are always too late, and, there- fore, accomplish through .life pothiug worth nothing.

FIRE Examsâ€"The introduction of steam fire engines into; use in the cities has thrown the hand engines on the market and the consequences is tremen- dous sacrifices. The Elora Council the other day purchased for $450 one of the best hand engines in the Provincey which when originally purchased by the city of Hamilton cost $1600. \Vc have argued the fire question so often, and itith so little success, that we don’t care to try again; further than to say that it does look like a pity that our village can’t have a fire brigade, when first class ‘imasheens” as good as new . can be bought for a few hundred dol- letsâ€"Mount Forest Examifl/ .

T06 Late; ‘Unstable as w ter thou shalt not ex- eel, ’is the language of the lSible. “ ho- soever expects to succeed in an under- taking must enter into it with a hearty and earnest will to do his best. \Vhen a trade or profession is chosen, obsta- cles, whether they be great or small, must not be allowed to stand in the .way of mastering that trade or profes- ;sion. However much we may depreo ,cate the old time custom of indenturing lapp1cntiees, the StStt’m in its practical lresults opciatcd almost always for the llasting good of the apprentice. Gen-V. orally it insured to him a good trade and a wholesome discipline that fitted him for success in business: At the present time, very many young men an. dertake to acquire a trade, and after a - brief trial abandon it, because there are unpleasant dut es to perform, and obsta- cles to be oveicome. They consider 1 themselves accountable to no one, and 1 go and come at the bidding of cziprice, or an uneasy unsettled mind. The re- sult of this is to send out into the world young men who have not half learned. their trades, of unstable character, who. . u drift from pillar to post, and who sue- “ ceed in nothing but strolling along the l' highways of life, melancholy wrecks of ii men. “'15 would earnestly entreat eve- a ry young man, after he has chosen his r- vocation, to stick; to it; don't leave it as because hard blows are to be struck 01‘ t1 disagreeable work performed.

But examination shows it to be replete with wisdom, and pro- ductive of great happiness in social life. The differences chrywhere discovera- ’ ble between humanfaces are so remark- able, that it is the rarest thing imagin- able to find two faces that have the same confirmation and expression.
