The Queen's Commission provides, that in the event of the death or absence of the Governor the “ senior Military Oficcrs in command of the troops" shall admin- ister the vernment. That instruction is plain enoug as far as it goes: but death _nnd sickness have brought about a state. of things which was never contemplated when the iii- strtiction was mined, as the melanchol circum- smnces in the following statement wil show; Colonel Phillpotts, R.

According to the ancient constitution of this I Colon , the succession to the Government. du- , ring t e death or absence of the (iovcrnor, was vested in the Senior Member of Council. But; some fourteen ycurs since, during the late Governor t‘hapmun‘e administration, that pinc- tice wus changed through his instruuicntulity, and a military succession substituted by the l Colonial oficer.

AGRICULTURE TI-IE MOTHER 0!‘ ALL PROFESSIONS.

As the earth is the mother of all men- kind, so agriculture is the mother of all other professions, and this] suppose is the reason why all other professions seek and lidn succourfortheir mother. It is natural fora child when it wants bread, to ask its mother for it—who else could it ask it of, with so much confidence? She is con- sidered by all her children, rich in this world's goods. She has stores laid up for many years, and she has a good farm, and in their times of need it is natural for her children to expect assistance from her. it the other hand, theunnatural urchins never once spend ii thought about her necessities, her hard labors, or of improving her con- dition. She is rich they say, she has dorcs of bread and meat, and she has agood farm,-she requires no aid from us. And thus it goes. Our good old mother has uothin to do but toil and sweat at her drudgery, provide bread and meat for all her children, and pay the bills for alimen- ner of expenditures. Now these children

o very wrong. They should assist the old lady in every possible way. They should encourage her work peop e and build good school-houses for them, and educate them; and they should give the Christmas and New Year's presents and curious trinkets in the form of premiums, medals, and all sort of fine things. This would stimulate them to serve the old lady more fnithfull ,' energetically, and elliciently, and wood render her day 'more cheerful -and her nights more comfortable. Let all the. world think of this. Only suppose the old lady should die, what would becomeof all of you professional men, merchants, me- chanics, all? Where would you get bread and meat and clothing to your backs? Think of these things, and treat the dear old lady better I beg of you. *
