The Ettrick shepherd referring to the religious character of the shepherds of Scot- land in his day, points out that this char- acter was to a great extent impressed upon them by the surroundings of their daily oc- | cupation, in which they could not but feel

themselves dependent creatures. 1 think it is easy for us to understand this: how day by day these good simple-minded men heid eonverse with the storm and the sky, | making their forecast of the weather from |the red sunset, and the drifting clouds, and | this, too, on the mountains and in the dark | waste, listening day by day to the voices | which can only be heard when the storm on | the cliff-side speaks of its own majesty, or |which are the very silence of the solitary i dell,

He tells us that in his day family wor- | ship was never fergotten, and formality | not only being avoided but despised, there

were few compositions so truly original as

| many of the prayers he had heard in some \shepherd’s lowly cot. Among the spect- | mens he gives, there is certainly a rude | eloquence and pathos, a sort of indiscern- able pomp, but at times, -at least to those of us accustomed to the dignity and | measured utterances of the ancient liturgies |—what seems an unbecoming familiarity. I | shall give one or two illustrations and then your readers can judge for themselves:

It is feared the note will promote outrages upon Christians.” The Daily News says it hopes that if Europe does not interfere to prevent such abominable wickedness, Russia will, and speedily.

Massowan, Aug. 22.—The Abyssinian general Rasalula has advanced to Godoie- lassi and made overtures for peace. General Baldissera, commanding the Italian expedi- tien, rejected the proposals and advanc- ed upon Rasalula, compelling him to re- treat beyond the river Biesa.

Capital for Canada.

The Canada Northwest Coal and Lumber

G. B., with a capital of £70,000, in order to purchase the Coal Creek and Bow River mines, and other mines near Calgary, and work the same. Lord Norbury, Viscount Grimston, M. P., and George Baden- Powell, M. P., are among the first sub- scribers.

“Bring down the tyrant and his long nob, for he has done mucklie ill the year, and gie him a cup of Thy wrath, and gin he winna take that, gie him twa cups.

Hogg tells us that he heard a relation of his own, a worthy old shepherd, Spray as follows ou the day on which he buried his

| only son :

‘“Thou hast seen meet in Thy wise Pro- videuce to remove-the staff out of my right hand, at the very time when, to us poor sand- blind mortals, it appeared that I stood maist in need o't. But oh ! he wasa sicker one, and a sure ane to my heart! And how I'll climb the steep hill o’ auld age and sorrow without it. Thou mayest ken, but 1 dinna.”

*_* * Another time he prayed during a severe and long-lying storm of snow :—

‘Is the whiteness of desolation to lie still on the mountains o' our land for ever? Is the earthly hopes of Thy servants to perish frae the face o' the earth? The flocks ona thousand hills are Thine, and their lives or deaths wad be naething to Thee. Thou wad be neither richer nor poorer, but it is a great matter to us. Have pity then on the lives ot Thy creatures, for heart and body are a’ Thy handiwork, and send us s little wee clud out o’ the sea, like a man’s thand to spread and darken, and pour, and flash, till the green gladsome face o’ nature aince mair appear.” ; + *

A. 8. asks me for information of the **Devil’s Passing Bell.” It is a nickname given in some parts of England to the toll- ing of the bell of the Parish Church on Christmas Eve, or rather morning, imme- diately after midnight, when the number of the year, as 1886, 1887, etc., is tolled. Sometimes it is called the ‘Old Lad’s Passing Bell.” ‘There isa very beaytifyl carol on this subject, the name of the au- thor I do not recollect; but it is set to

music by Helmore, and published by Novello. It is worth preserving :

Toil} Toll ! because there ends to-night An empire old and vast ; An empire of unquestioned right O’er present and o’er past. Toll ! Stretching wide from East to West, Ruling over every breast, Each nation, tongue and caste.

Toll ! Yoll! because a moaarch dies W hose tyrant statytes ran

From polar snows to tropic skies, From Greenland to Japan.

Crowded cities, lonely glens,

Oceans, mountains, shores and fens, All owned him lord of man.

Toll! Toll! becayse that monarch fought

Right fiercely tor his own, And utmost craft and valour brought Before he was o'er thrown. Toll!

He the lord and man the slave,

His the kingdom of the grave And all its dim unknown.

Joy ! Joy ! because « habe is born,

Who, after many a toii, The scorner’s pride shall laugh to seorn And work the Foiler’s foil.

Joy !

And reap the spoilers spoil !

Technical Education.

——-

The ery for technical education in Eng- land and the influential movement that has been going on for some time to make the State take action has produced its results. Sir W. Hart-Dyke, vice-president of the Council «of Education, has introduced a bill into the House of Commons to provide the instruction so urgently called for. The bill gives each locality power to levy a rate —not exceeding one penny in the pound— for the furtherance of technical or manual instruction. Technical instruction, it is explained, is to mean instruction in the principles of art and science applicable to industries, and to special branches of art and science applicable to specific industries and employments. Manual instruction is

A Growing Industry.

Ir is alwaysa pleasure for Toe EXAMINER to notice the establishment of new indus- tries in our midst, or to make mention of the progress made by those already in @X- istence. This being the case, it is unne- cessary to offer any apology for to-day re- ferring to some of the many alterations and improvements made in the well-known fur- niture establishment of Messrs. Mark Wright & Co,

This establishment, as is well known, has made great progress since the present owners took hold. It has been changed from a sinall factory, run on the old-style plan, to a large establishment, well stocked with the latest and most approved ma- chinery, aud with every facility for turning out first-class work at the shortest possible notice. From a concern employing but few hands and with little Jabor-saving ma- chinery, it has been transformed into 4 business giving employment to some forty persons, and paying out in wages and salaries something like $10,000 a year. The present factory is a fine three-story brick building, heated with steam and lighted by electricity.

These alterations and improvements have evidently paid well. The firm reports bus- iness rushing, which report was verified by an EXAMINER representative who was shown through the premises yesterday. Not sat- isfied with their large and growing retail trade, the firm have decided to go into the wholesale business, their Mr. Wright being now travelling through portions of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick working up a trade. With their facilities for turning out first-class work, we see no reason why they should not be able to compete successfully with any of the similar establishments in the maritime provinces.

Adjoining their factory the firm have this year erected a large dry-kiln with a holding capacity of about 15,000 feet. This kiln, we may explain, is built upon a new principle, the hot air being blown in on one side of the structure by means of a large fan which causes it to go through the lumber like a gale of wind, coming out on the other side. This method, we are in- formed, is far superior to the old steam-pipe arrangement, as it does the work in a much shorter time and a great deal more effect- ually.

Besides the dry kilu they have about completed a large three-story building on Fitzroy Street, the erection of which has been made necessary because of their great- ly increased trade. The ground floor of this building ig used for the erecting of threshing machines, harrows, fan-mills, and other agricultural implements, and for the manufacture and arrangement of hot- water heating apparatus. The first and second floors are not quite ready for occu- pation. When finished the former will be used as a wareroom for furniture for the wholesale trade, and the latter as a room for the storage of chairs, of which they handle immense quantities. Adjvining this new building they have another warehouse wherein some twenty tons of harrow teeth are stored at present.

In addition to these buildings the firm have a large furniture show-room within a stone’s throw of theirfactory. The ground and first floors of this structure are well filled with every description of elegant furniture; and the top floor is used asa store-room. The business offices of ‘the tirm are also sityated on the ground floor.

This summer something like $2,00@ haye been expended in the purchase of new machinery and in the making of improve- ments in their working plant. And, even with the increased facilities thus affurded, they were obliged to work until nine o'clock at night for about two months to fill the orders on hand !

We congratulate Mesgrg, Wright & Co. on these evidences of success in businéss, and trust that the sunof prosperity maycontinue to shine upon them. Men who have confi- dence enough in the future of the place to invest their money in enterprises which give employment to Island mechanics and which tend to develop the resources of the country are deserving of the highest com- mendation. Would that we had more of them.

Visitation of the Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia.

THE question of the D. C. S., as noted in yesterday’s issue, was thoroughly discussed by the Bishop ot Nova Scotia and the Island clergy at the morning’s conference. Some of the clergy were in tavor of remov- ing it entirely, and advocated complete union in matters diocesan with “the diocese of Nova Scotia; others want- ed a reconstruction. At the end of the debate the Bishop summed up, and seeing that the feeling of the meeting was emphatically opposed to extinguishing the D. C. 8., His Lordship urged upon the clergy to bring the subject of the DP. C. S specially before their various congregations, inviting them to subscribe more largely to its fund, and so enable it to fulfil its mis- sion. It was agreed by the clergy, under the direction and approval of the Bishop, to take early steps for the employment of a travelling inissionary for Prince Edward Island, whose duty would be to yisit more especially those parts wherein the Church vf England has lost many of her peop'e, and in winning them back to prepare the way for the labors of settled clergymen. The prospects of the Church in Souris were said by the Archdeacon to be brightening, and he also reported the gratifying fact that a handsome plot of groynd had ro- cently been presented to the Churgh of England whereon to build a house of prayer which, it is hoped, may be, ere long, begun. The travelling missionary wili be required to give special attention to ssouris and Murray Harbor.

In the afieynoon a conference was held by the Bishop and clergy upan the Deepen- ing of the Spiritual Life which cannot but be of immense spiritual profit to the members present. The Conference, in which the Bishop took the principal position, speak- ing both eloquently and with deep spiritual discernment, lasted until 5 p. m., at which time all adjourned to St. Paul’s for evening pes which was a particularly bright and

eaxty service. The clergy were generous- ly entertained gf dinner by Mr. and Mrs. KE. J. Hodgson.

His Lordship will preach in St. Peter's to-morrow morning and at St. Paul’s in the evening
