POETRY.
THE TYPO.

BY A. A. HOPKINS

The typo!-—a singular creature is he,

A bit ofa wizard I tuke him to be,

A paradox ever, I stontly assert,

And funcy the statement you can't controvert :
He * tukes’’ a great deal, and he * proves’ all he

gets,
And he sets while he stands, aud he stands while
he sets!

A magical power there is in his hand,

As swiltly the types marshal in at command ;

The-art ofa painter he has to portray

The ipeidouts many that make up to-day,

A ube ding be pictures :—"* click, click ' and ‘tis
there,—

The glad, merry party, the just-wedded pair ;

You see the young wife in her garments of white,

[You have gone to the wedding without an invite,]

And fancy you hear the yood wishes of friends,

And—therd the bright picture unwittingly enda,

For the typo paints all kinds of scenes ina lisa

He hie you a marridge—the next is a death ;

And low in the coflin you see a dear face

All silent and cold, that was full of rare grace,

A sorrowiiy circle that tenderly kiss

The lips whose sweet pressure they ever will miss;

Aud softly the teardrops creeps down o'er your
ashes,

As sadly yon echo the © ashes to ashes,’

‘Click, click ''--now he's spelling a railroad dis.
nater, ‘

And fast ‘click’ the types, and still faster and
faster,

And horror is seen on each one of their faces,

As quickly he ranges them into their places;

"A terrible slaughter, ’* you shudder, then laugh

With hearty good will atthe next paragraph—

A joke of three lines, or a dozen us brief,

Done up—a rich bundle—in a sheuf!

Moen follay some ‘add's,''—patent bitters and

ills,

To ane aed one of mortality’s iils ;

* Click, Click,'’—and just under bis fingers they
wo forth— .

“ None genuine unless signed ‘ John Jones,’ &c.!

W “tidsan ** Elixir,’ and now a“ Hair Dye,”

(To color, of course, for it’s spelled with y |

* Cough Byrup,’’ perhaps, or * Wafer,” or **

tion,”

{A humbug condensed to a good Yankee notion !]

A bare inh in short, for allbuman dissases—

‘You pays in your money aud takes what you
pleases!

Lo

Variety truly gives living its apice,

And typos can present it to you in a trice,

Krom gravest to gay, every mood of the mind

Ts by them euch fait completely defined ;

One moment they laugh, and another they weep—
Lfancy their sortow is not over-deep—

But be their expression whatever it may,

The will ofthe typo they only obey; *

‘To all his commands they respond With a ‘click,
Ile rules with a stout little * rule’ aud a ‘ stick.~

Select Witerature.

THE LAST GREAT FRAUD,

Tn our,London letter published on Thurs-
yy Gur correspondent referred to some
excitement being felt by the sudden de-
parture for America of the Secretary of a
Gas Company, who on a salary of £400
had manuged to live as though he was in
receipt of £40,000 per annum, Our En-
glish exchanges contain lively descriptions
of his style and mode of living. but all fail
to explain from whence he obtained the
means to live at so fast a rate, as the
while capital of the Gas Company would
have been insufficient to keep it up as long
ashe did. The Morning Advertiser of the
Gth of April, contains the following :—

It is not yet certain by what means Mr.
Benjamin tiggs, who disappeared from
‘Twickenham on the 5th of last month, de-
rived the sums of money which he lavish-
ed on # splendid establishment and in
unstinted acts of munilicence; but unless
it is true, as he stated, thata relative had
lett him a legacy of £90,000, his only ap-
parent meuns of subsistence was a salary
under £400 per annum which he received
from the Central Gas Company, in whose
service he has been for several years.
Kiven a legacy of £90,000, handsome as it
is, would not have sufficed for his scale of
living. ‘The mansion which he mbhabited,
and which contained thirty roonis, was
fitted up in the most sumptuous stye, In
his stables were two pair of carriages,
nine horses, and several ponies. Eight
female servants, five gardiners, a groom,
coachman, and under coachman obeyed
his orders, So costly was the fitting up
of his establishment that when the turni-
ture was sold last week a pianoforte went
tor 155 guineas, (it originally cost 800),
Ilis gold watch and diamond rings were
the envy of the connoisseurs. Ilis weekly
musical parties were graced by the most
celebrated artistes; and the flow of his
charity was at least equal to the refinement
of his tastes. At his sole expense he gave
three concerts, the programmes of which
are described as “marvels of artistic
beauty,” and devoted the proceeds to the
building of new schools, If any one was
in difficulties Mr. Higgs came to his rescue
Toone man he gave £180; to another,
who had received an injury in his kitchen,
he gave £300; he presented the Free
Church of England at Teddington with a
new organ, at acost of £300; and pro-
mised the congregation a subscription of
£2000 towards a new church,

All this was good enough, but Mr.
Higgs was contemplating greater things
when he took his sudden departure. On
the morning of his disappearance there
were eighty men employed upon anew
mansion he was erecting, upon land for
which he was to pay £600 per acre; and
the mansion alone was to cost £50,000
sterling. Suddenly the bubble burst,
ee
A Romance of True Love.

Tho death of a Miss Jackson, of St. John,
Quebee, on Thyrsday, 8th ult., was fol-
lowed by thatof Mr. W. L. Hudgens the
Saturday following. ‘The former peace-
fully breathed her last after a long and
painful illness; the latter ina paroxysm of
grivt burst a blood vessel, and died almost
instantly. ‘The deceased were bethrothed
and the consumation of their dreams ot
love had been deterred from time to time,
until finally, Miss Jackson was prostrated
by sickness, Unwilling, even then to be
debarred her presence, Mr. H. was admit-
ted to the sick room, Where none were
more attentive to the every want of the
sufferer than himsell, so larus the delicacy
of his position would permit. A sister ot
Miss Jackson was, for days and nights,
the shaver of his watchtuluess, Ller more
teeble nature, however, sunk under the
burden of fatigue and sleepleas apprehen-
sion, Which she vaiuly struggled to sustain,
and at last Mr, Hudgens was left alone,

with barely the assistance of a servant.
The object of his solicitude and devotion,
day by day, became more feeble, Le
searcely left her bed side. Sleep became
a stranger to his eyes and even food was
put away by him. But even such devotion
could not turn the penetrating barb of
death, and finally the eyes of the sufferer
closed forever upon the tearful face ever
above her. and her hand grew cold and
rigid in death, while yet in the warm clasp
of his to whom it was so shortly to be
given in lile and love, This was on Thurs-

ay. On Friday the remains of Miss
Jackson was followed to the grave. He
who had been ever present at her bed was
at-her bier. His heart went down into
the grave with the sleeper, The day fol-
lowing the burial, the fatigue to which
Mr. Hudgens had subjected himselt began
to overcome him, He sank prostrated
upon his bed, and, giving way to the poi-
gnancy of his feelings, burst a blood yes-
sel, and in less than five minutes his heart
had seized to suffer, for it was cold torever.
The next day, he too, was followed to the
tomb, and pliced by the side of his be-
throthed.

Famine in the Baltic,

Very sad news comes from Russia,
Ever since last summer there haye been
tears of famine in the Baltic provinces,
and these fears have been proven to be
only too well founded, From Finland,
Livonia, Esthonia and Courland, and from
the shores of the Gulf of Bothnia and Lake
Peipus, from the low Jands of Poland, and
from the densely peopled towns among
the Baltic coast, the sume sad story comes
—,‘ death, death, and nothing but death !”
For anumber of years belore 1867, the
harvest had been bad. In 1867 they were
in many places a complete failure; last
year they were little better; and now the
worst has come, ‘There is no seed corn
to be had for the crop of this year; bread
having long been obtainable only attamine
princes, and has now become unattainable
at any price; pestilence has made its ap-
pearance, and is adding its horrors to the
already overflowing cup of misery pressed
to the lips of the stricken people of those
unhappy lands. Tere is a picture of the
seene, as deseribed by a writer at St.
Petersburg; ‘*lields lying waste. villages
depopulated, private houses turned into
hospitals, feyer-parched skeletons totter-
ing trom the doors of overcrowded places
of refuge, children wandering over the
country in gaunt and squallid nakedness ;
crowds of men driven to desperation by
long misery and ripe for any outrage,
roaming the streets night and day.” ‘There
is no exaggeration in this tearful descrip
tion ; itis only too well supported by ot-
ficial vccounts transmitted tu St. Peters-
burg fiom the afilicted regions, In Etho-
nia, Livonia, and Courland three provinces
ot vast extent, there is a populotion of 1,-
804,435 souls; in Finland, where the
are immense tracts of barren and irreclaim-
able soil, and there is a population of
1,766,000. ‘These countries ave reached
but by asingle line of railroad, and the
greater portions of them are almost as in-
accessible as are the mountains of Abys-
sinia. ‘Lhe svilis thin and rocky and

never secure from the terrible evils {hat
are now exterminating them, A letter
trom one of the central districts of Ethonia
says that the distress this yearin soret
than ever. The harvest of 1867 was a bad
one; but there was a little corn stored up,
and there was hope of relief in 1868. Bat
no relief came. On the contrary, from the
23rd May to the 18th August last year, no
rain fell, and the summer crops were
scorched up. Bread can now be scarcely
got, even at the most exorbitant price, and
as the roads are impassible by reason ot
the extraoardinary wet winter, no help
from abroad can reach the people, The
debilitated condition of the people, and] s
their herding together in the larger vill- | si

feartul ravages.

Srontangous Combustion.—The New
Orleans Crescent publishes an account of
the death of a young man in that city by
spontaneous combustion, He had been a
hard drinker for many years. He died on
Tuesday night, and the appearance of the
body is described thus:—** Luylay was
stretched upon the bare floor, in a perfect
state of nakedness, his eyes almost out of
their orbits, his whole frame distorted, and
the body in # curious state of ebuliition—
we might state, the flesh much swollen,
and pertectly translucent, and the blood
coursing in the veins seemed to go rushing
through them at a fearful rate, as vas
easily exhibited by its abnormal appear-
ance, svemingly tilled with foreign glo-
bular bodies. The cpidermis in spots
varying trom the size of a pin’s head to
that of a small apple, would become in-

Spurgeon on Oommunion-

Mr. Spurgeon’s views ol the Lord's Sup-
per and the privileges which all christians
should find at the sacred feast are known
to be very decided, He expresses them
frequently, and trequéntly in his sermons,
When these sermons are republished in
this country these passages are very gener-
ally omitted. In a sermon from the text,
“These are they who separate themsel-
ves,” the English edition contains these
strong statements. They are wholly want-
ing in the American edition. It is relresh-
ing to read the following :—

«« There is not a Christian beneath the
scope of God’s heaven from whom I am
separated, At the Lord's Table, I always
invite all Christians to communion with
us. If any man were to tell me that I am
separate from the Episcopalian, the Pres-
byterian, or the Methodists, I would tell
him he did not know me, tor I love them
them with a pure heart fervently, and lam
not separate from them, ‘This bears rather
hard on our strict communion Baptists. I
should not like to say anything hard
against them. for they are about the best
people in the world; but they really do
separate themselves from the great body
of Christ's people. They separate them-
selves from the universal Church, ‘They
say they will nol commune with it; and if
any one comes to their table who has not
been baptised, they twn them away. The
pulse of Christ is communion ; and woe to
the Church that seeks to cure the ills of
Christ’s Church by stopping its pulse,

I think it a sin to refuse to commune
with any one who is a member of the
Church of our Lord Jesus Christ. I should
think myself grossly in fault, if at tho
foot of these stairs I should meet a truly
converted child of God, who called him-
selt a Primitive Methodist, or a Wesleyan,
or a Churchman, or an Independent, and
[ should say, ‘t No sir, you do not agree
with me on certain points; I believe you
are a child of God, but [ will have nothing
to do with you.” I should think the text
would bear very hard on me: ** These are
they who separate themselves, sensual,
not having the Spirit..—Z'rom the Aforning
Slar, I’, W. Baptist.

: THE OTHER SIDE,

The following very sensible remarks on
the cry for the forcible annexation ot Can-
ada, which we copy from a late issue of
the Chicago Tribune, are in favorable con-
trast with the wild rant indulged in by
most of the New York papers, and by a
large number of others aie ought to
have had more sense and more correct
ideas of fair play und their own professed
principles,

Remarking on the proposal of Chandler,
it is said :—

**Ife seems to overlook the chief point
in the problem, viz., that the population
of Canada are entitled, like ourselves, and
like the people of England, to exereise self
government. They are not mere chattels,
to be sold like quadroon slaves to pay the
debts of their parent. At present, and tor
many years, they have exercised this right
as fully as, perhaps, any people on earth,
and as fully, at all events, as they wish.
The authority of England is nominal, bare-
ly suflicient to extend over the Canadas
the protection of the British name, They
have no debt except that incurred for their
own internal improvement, and their taxes
are exceedingly light. ‘Their six per cent.
ecurities, instead of selling, like eurs, at
uch a discount as to make their rate of

ages in the hope ol getting (ood aud shelter, |juterest over eight per cent. Nor many
has engendered disease, Which is making | y

ears they have manifested a devotion tr
the substantial independence they enjoy
under the cover of nominal dependence
on England, as unanimous and hearty as
even the Northern and loyal portion of our
own people have shown towards our Re-
public. If it were treely put to vote to-
morrow, whether they should remain with
Great Britain or be annexed to the United
States, Mr. Chandler must know that only
a small proportion of the population would
now vote for annexation,”

This is as sensible as it is true,

Still further the Zribune says:
Assuming, as we safely may, that tho
consent of Canada is at present wanting,
Mr. Chandlex’s proposition becomes one
of the most undemocratic propositions ever
uttered in arepublican Senate. It embod-
ies a denial of popular rights as blind and
arbitary as have characterized the ages,
now supposed to be past, when brute force
was the stlo law for the nation.

Wo récognize the fact that about six.
tenths of the trade of Canada is with the
United States ; tha! her real industrial wel
fare is now almost as vitally affected by
the laws we pass at Washington, us by
those they pass at Ottawa, But if, despite
these facts, the Canadian people are not
prepared for annexation, it’ would be an
act of national ravishment to barter and
sell the right of her people to govern them-
selves aller their own preference, in pay-
ment tor injuries which she had no’ share
in committing, whatever might have been
her sympathies. Ilence every proposal
having in view the consummation of such
a wrong, is an insult, which hinders in-
stead of promoting, the growth of a senti-
ment in Canada in favor of union with this,
country,

Then coming to the question of damagos
and all the et ceteras brought up in air,
Summer's 8,.eech we have the tollowing
plain, wholesomely sensible remarks :—

Light as are the taxes on the Canadian,
people, their amount tor two years is equal
to the entire value of the vessels destroy ed
by the Alabama, Itis only by going ve-
hind the more value of the vessels destroyed
and making a claim for the general injurs
ies to our commerce, and tor supposed
prolongation of the war, that we can ar-
rive at a sum of sufficient magnitady to
cession of territory, were the peuple of the
acquired territory in favor of the act of
cession, We do not believe that any data
exist whereby such damages can be esti-
mated with a precision that would, it be-
