A Woman's Portrait.

Blessing she is; God made her so, And deeds of week-day holiness Falls from her noiseless as the snow, Nor had she ever chanced to know That aught was easier than to bless.

She is most fair, and thereunto

Her life doth rightly harmonize ; Feeling or thought that was not true Ne’er made less beautiful the blue Unclouded heaven of her eyes.

She is a woman ; one in whom The spring-time of her childish years Hath never lost its fresh perfume, Though knowing well that life hath room For many blights and many tears. —J. R. LOWELL.

The First Announcement of “ The Century's” Life of Lincoln.

The following is a portion of a letter from George Alfred Townsend, (*‘Gath”) to the New York World, printed May 20, 1865. It is interesting as a graphic pen picture of the White House just after President Lincoln’s death, and as containing the first public announcement of the life of Lincoln, | by Messrs. Nicolay and Hay, the publica-| tion of which has just been begun in The | Century, after twenty-one years of prepara-| tion by its authors: —

WasHINGTon, May 14, 1865. |

l am sitting in the President’s ofiice. He | was here very lately, but he will not return to dispossess me of this high-backed chair he filled so long, nor resume his daily work at} the table where I am writing.

There are here only Major Hay and the friend that accompanies me. A_ bright-facec boy runs in and out, darkly attired, so that his fob-chain of gold is the only relief to his} mourning garb. This is little Tad, the pet of the White House. That great death, with which the world rings, has made upen him only the light impression which all things make on childhood. He will live to be a man} pointed out everywhere, for his father’s sake ; | and as folks look at him the tableau of the murder will seem to encircle him.

The room is long and high, and so thickly hung with maps that the color of the wall cannot be discerned. The President's table, at which i am seated, adjoins a window at the farthest corner, and to the left of my chair, as | I recline in it, there isa longer table before an empty grate, around which there are many chairs, where the Cabinet used to assemble. The carpet is trodden thin, and the brilliance | of the dyes is lost. The furniture is of the formal cabinet class, stately and semi-comfort- | able ; there are book-cases, sprinkled with the | sparse library of a country lawyer, but lately | plethoric, like the thin body which has depart- | ed in its coffin. They are taking away Mr. Lincoln’s private effects to deposit them

;

}

wheresoever the family may reside, and | the emptiness of the place, on this| sunny Sunday, revives that feel-

ing of desolation from which the land has} searce recovered. I rise from my seat and ex- aniine the maps, they are from the coast sur- vey and the engineer departments, and ex- hibit all the contested ground of the war; there are pencil lines upon them, where some one has traced the route of armies, and planned the strategie circumferences of campaigns. Was it the dead President who so followed the march of empire, and dotted the sites of shock and overthrow. ’

There is but one picture on the marble man- tel over the cold grate—John Bright—a photo- graph. But as to his biography, it is to be written by Colonel Nicolay and Major Hay. They are to goto Paris together, one as attache of legation, the other as consul ; and while there will undertake the labor. They are the only men who know his life well enough to exhaust it, having followed his offi- cial tasks as closely as they shared his social hours,

Major Hay is a gentleman of literary force. Colonel Nicolay has a fine judgment of charac- ter and public measures. Together they should satisfy both curiosity and history.

Bulgaria’s Throne.

The supply of German princelings, either | for thrones or marriages, being, so far as | experience has shown, unlimited, itis not} surprising to find one more of them now | suggested to the Bulgarians asa ruler in} the person of a scion of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Whatever his capacity for reigning, he would be more acceptable, doubtless, than the Prince of Mingrelia, and indeed the stupidest of dukes from Central Europe would have the same advantage as a ruler at Sofia over the keenest nominee of the Czar that King Log had over King Stork in the fable. Alexander of Battenberg, how- ever, so far from being stupid, was in fact able and vigorous alike in diplomacy and the battlefield, so that the hope of having him back as prince or king naturally recurs, ever and anon, to the Bulgarians. It is somewhat amusing to find Gadban Effendi, | the Turkish envoy at Sofia, accused of duplicity because he good-naturedly nour- ishes this hope in private conversation, while his masters at Constantinople are | loud-mouthed for the Russian candidate. | One might fancy that the discovery of a} double-faced Turkish diplomat was some | new and startling revelation.—N. Y. Times. |

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Pilotage Matter.

Sir,—In writing my letter tothe Herald of the Ist inst., it was not to bring myself into public notice, as is insinuated by some parties; but to counteract the evil effects to our harbor which would naturally follow from the misleading despatch sent from Geurgetown to the Halifax press, in refer- ence to the stranding of the George Harold here ; and also, the bungling of the George- town pilot on board of her, and 1 know that every person acquainted with the affair will bear me out in saying that my state- ments were literally true in the letter. Were it necessary, I could also procure the testimony of several master mariners who were in the port at {the time, and who also read the despatch in the Halifax morning Chronicle to prove my statements. But it appears that a certain clique in Georgetown has taken umbrage at me for daring to

ibring to public notice any of ther traus-

actions, and one of the ‘‘fraternity”, under the guise of Pilot, has thought fit to reply in the Darry Examiner of the 9th inst., but blandly admits the accident might have been averted. Pilot, not to be outdone,and thinking he must say something, boasts of the wonderful things the Georgetown pilots can and have done m piloting vessels in and out of Grand River. If his self-conceit is gratitication to him, I am willing to leave him in the enjoyment of it, Pilot also casts out some insinuations about the buoys not being in their proper places. All I have to say to him is that hereafter, if the Georgetown pilots pay more heed to the buoys and less to their pretended know- ledge, they will have no cause to regret it and another George Harold catastrophe will not likely occur again.

In your issue of the 17th inst., appeared a letter signed Farmer, Lot 56, who ap- pears anxious to step into the breach and try to give a little fictitious prominence for himself by assailing me for not paying more attention to the buoys. I may here tell Farmer that if he paid more attention to his own affairs and less to his neighbor's, if would be more conducive to his welfare; but every place has its busy body and Lot 56 is not an exception. Farmer may be an

authority on frog ponds, quagmires and

marshes; but when it comes to harbor affairs, he appears to be all adrift. From the tenor of his letter, the reader would naturally inver that it was the little village of Annandale that required buoying and not the harbor of Grand River when he reads such phrases as ‘*The buoys of Annan- dale” and ‘*Phe buoys at Annandale.” To dispel any alarm which the reading of minds of any persons contemplating a visit %to Annandale, I may inform them that there is no obstacle in the way of coming in and being safely harbored.

In conclusion, I wish to remark that I notice of anonymous scribblers.

Yours, truly, <oNALD S. McDonaxp, Harbor Master. Grand River.

A Poisonous Dart.

‘*A letter passed through the Post Office the other day, addressed to Murray Harbor, via the ‘Lightning Express from Montague Bridge.’ Is this « joke on the mail driver 7” Vide Patriot, Dec, 16th.

Sir,—In justice to the present mail driver between Montague Bridge and Mur- ray Harbor, the writer feels satisfied that mails and passengers were never carried on the above route with more efliciency, regu- larity or expedition than than they are and have been by Mr. Martin, As to the accommodation as to horses, vehicles, ete., the travelling public are the best judges and not the editor of the Patriot, who, in his vain efforts to fling dirt at every one, makes an unwarrantable and poisonous dart at our obliging mail driver.

He is the last of a generation of seers. ‘‘A man solitary and sad, dwelling in an element of gloom,” as even Carlyle pictures him. ‘‘Alfred is one of the finest looking men“in the world ; a great stock of rough, dusty-dark hair; bright, laughing hazel eyes ; massive acqui- line face, most massive, yet most delicate; of sallow brown complexion, almost Indian looking; clothes cynically loose, free and easy; smokes infinite tobacco (!). His voice is musical, metallic, fit for loud laugh- ter and piercing wail, and all that may be between; speech and speculation frev and not meet, in these late

An engineer officer | paid a fire tug $48 for saving the Govern- ment wharf at Detroit from destruction. Had it not been for the services of the tug a heavy loss would, doubtless, have fallen upon the Government, and yet the amount has been disallowed because competitive bids had not been advertised for! The thing is so outrageously ridiculous as to be almost incredible, and yet it is solemnly and sadly true.—Baltimore American.

The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off of revenue stamps from Proprietary

' Medicistes, no doubt has largely benefitted the

consumers, as well as relieving the burden of home manufacturers. Especially is this the case with Green's August Flower and Boschee’s German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen has been added to increase the size ot the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cent size.

The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver

and Lung troubles, have perhaps the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The ad- vantage of increased size of the bottles will be
