The advantage gained by this mode of se- | lection, assuming the principle of any sort 0: | representation to be sanctioned, are various

1. We get rid of alt questions about fran chise and the modes of election, Which might or mnightn.t correspond to those which obtain in England.

2. We are secure of men truly represent-

ing the majority in each Colony, because they would speak in the name and bring with them the autuurity of the Cabinets and con- stituencies they represented. , 38. We have no trouble about changing Chem, as Chey would sit ull their suceessors, duly accredited, announced the lact.of a change of administration,

5. We are secure, by this modes of ob taining the best men, because only, the best ean win their way into these Colonial Oabi- nets; of whom the flower would be selected by their culleagues to represent the intellect and elarecter of each province on the floor of Parliament.» |

Tn 1851, for instance, there were | 129,128 inhabitants residing within its boundaries ; | but this ntimber had declined in 1861 to .113,5#7, and probably in 187f the population of the wuet renowned comercial city in the world will net lexeeed 100,000, or les’ thab the ae | iting in Kebsington. “The army of pedple, prin- | cipally tale, that moves oh the ety every morn: jing is: perhaps uhparalleled in wumber by any tititnan tide that has ever moved didrnally in any icity in any agé of thé World. ‘The difficulty ‘of | deating with such a vast influx, * pédestrain and velicular, ix increased in consequedce ‘of the nar- roWhess of the streets within its drva, ‘Thése, it 1s true, constitute“about twenty-five per cent. of ite entire area, pide handred and thirteen pabli¢ ways ‘traversing itin evéry direction; but Of ‘these oe hundred and ninety-four, have sufficient width for one Hie of veliitles “obly, avd one hund¥ed and | seventy fuurt in'addition are without theroughtatés, | ‘Thus it will been’seeh that upwards of two thitde of the city streets are incapable of cartyitig “any considerable stream Of Vehicular traffic at all.

Lure glidness for the wrinkled brow of Care;

The ills of life were more than we could bear,

Had not kind Heaven the little children lent,

Fair as the anyels, and us-innocent :

They are a fount of love that faileth never—

Oil on the waters of Life's diseontent—

Links ia Love's chain that bind fond hearts for ever—

The bléssed crown of holy wedlock’s joys—

Au anpolluted spring that never cloys

Happy that hearth aud tome kind Fortune blesses

With the rich ‘treasure of their sweet caresses.

TO A RIVER.

Dark spirit, oh listen! thou that fiercely flowest, So tierce and so impatient to be gone:

Is it fear, or some wild venveance that thou owest, Or doth the fiend of madness drive thee on?

Nay —for that stormy heart has been my own— Chon art full o° glorions passion from the bills, And in thy strength goes forth to conquer ills,

Not thinking how throu mast be overthrown.

Yet chafe not, noble River? nor seek to mend God's parposé in thee and thine owil far end, Lest those proud waves o’ertiow im slcggish mire : His be the grief whe wonld not brook control, Within whose heart bas ¢edsed the great desire,

Aud stagnant are the waters ef his soul
