WILLIAM KOUGHAN,

| i e | suburbs of this city.

T'o the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,—The enclosed Song was inserted in Blackwood’s Magazine, a good many years ago. Some of our legislators have recently quoted from the late John Stuart Mill. Your coun- try readers may like to peruse in your columns the opinion of old Tories and practical men in Great Britain ; with regard ‘to Mr. Mill, cer- tainly he could say, as did an old country boy to the Bishop, who was about to confirm him, ** episcopus loquitur—rehearse the articles of thy belief.”” Boy—‘* Please ye, my Lord, I believe ia nothun’, ‘The boy what believes is il! at home in bed.”

Your obedient servant, Vien DHoMNUIL NON Onp.

Stuart Mill on Mind and Matter.

A NEW SONG, Arr :—‘‘ Roy’s wife of Aldalloivch.” ‘* Matter, then, may be defined a permanent possibility of sensation.” —Mills’ “Examination of Hamilton,” p. 198.

‘* The belief [ entertain that my mind ex- ists, when it is not feeling, nor thinking, nor conscious of its own existence, resolves into the belief of a permanent possibility of these states.” ‘‘ The permanent possibility” of feel- ing, which forms my notion of myself.—/bid., p. p. 205, 206.

Stuart Mill, on mind and matter, ali our old

beliefs would scatter;

Stuart Mill, exerts his skill, to make an end

of mind and matter.

The self-same tale I’ve surely heard, employed before, our faith to batter ;

Has David Hume again appeared to run a muck at mind and matter ?

David Hume could mind and matter, ruth- lessly assault and hatter ;

Those who Hume would now exhume, must

mean to end both mind and matter.

Now mind, now matter, to destroy, was of’t proposed, at least the latter ;

But David was the daring boy, who fairly floored both mind and matter.

David Hume, both mind and matter, while he lived would boldly batter ;

Hume to Mill bequeathed by will, his favorite feud with mind and matter.

Men think they see the things that be; but Truth is coy —we can’t get at her; ,

For what we spy is all my eye, and is not really mind or matter.

Hume and Mill, or mind and matter, swear that others merely smatter :

Sense reveal that something feels, but tells no tale of mind or matter.

Against a stone you strike your toe ; you feel ‘tis sore—it makes a clatter ;

But what you feel is all you know of toe, or stone, or mind, or matter ;

Mill and Hume, of mind and matter, weuldn’t leave a rag or tatter ; .

What although we feel the blow? That doesn’t show there’s mind or matter.

We meet and mix with other men, with women, too, who sweetly chatter ;

But mayn’t we here be duped again, and take our thoughts for mind and matter ?

Sights and sounds like mind and matter, fairy forms that seem to chatter,

May be gleams in Fancy’s dreams of mea and women, mind and matter.

Successive feelings on us seize as thick as fall- ing hailstone patter,

The chance of some return of these, is all we mean by mind or matter.

Those who talk of mind and matter just a senseless jargon patter ;

What are we, or you, or he?—dissolving views, not mind nor matter.

We've but a train of visions vain, of thoughts that cheat, and hopes that flatter ; This hour’s our own, the past is flown, the rest unknown, like mind and matter. Then farewell to mind and matter : to the winds at once we scatter

Time and place, and fame and space, and “you, and me, and mind and matter.

We banish hence Reid’s commen sense: we laugh at Dugald Stewart’s blatter ;

Sir William too, and Monsel’s crew, we've done for you, and mind and matter.

But had I skill, like Stuart Mill, his ewn po- sition Z could shatter ;

The weight of mill, I count as nil,—if Mill has neither mind nor matter.

Mill, when minus mind and matter, though he make a kind of chatter,

Must, himself, just mount the shelf, and there be laid with mind and matter.

I’d push my logic further still, tho’ this may have the look of satire,

I’d prove there’s no such man as Mill, if Mill disproves both mind and matter.

If there be neither mind nor matter, Mills’ ex- istence, too, we shatter;

If you still believe in Mill, believe as well in mind and matter.

REMARK ON THE FOREGOING.

I think if I were Stuart Mill, against a wall my head I'd batter,

Sooner than pass for such an ass, or write with neither mind nor matter !

Terrible Tragedy.

Aveusta, Mz., May 12.—A terrible trag edy was enacted yesterday evening, in the Jason Scribner, living on a small farm, with a common spade struck three of his children over the head, felling them to the floor and striking them after they went down. One, a boy of 11, escaped and ran to a neighbor’s. Maud, a pretty little girl 3 years old, died in less than two hours after receiving the blow. Ernest, 5 years old, suffered a fracture of the skull, and will die before morning. The babe, a girl a year old, died to-day. The family were in the kitchen at the time of the tragedy. When the babe was struck and fell, the mother who had been pre- viously assaulted, seized her child and escaped from the house. Scribner then dropped the spade and rushed out into the field and attempted suicide by cutting his throat. He made an ugly wound, cutting his windpipe on both sides, but was arrested

Prosperous British Columbia.

While the rest of Canada is suffering from trade depression, to a greater or less extent, itis gratifying to learn, that one Province at least is prosperous. The Vie- toria, B. C. ‘ Colonist” draws the follow- ing flattering picture of the condition of the Pacific Province : ‘‘ By every stranger who sets foot on these shores it is predicted that a glorious future is in store for this boun- teous Province. Mining experts prophecy that our mineral resources will develop un- told wealth, and agriculturists are fain to admit that the country is not only admi- rably adapted for stock-raising,but that her cultivated lands prove most prolific, yield- ing golden crops of unusual redundancy. The various municipalities on the mainland and on the Island are marked by manifold improvements, and in this fair. city, the capital of the Province, the signs of pros- perity and confidence of residents are 6n all sides visible. The population, not only of this city, but of. several of the largest agricultural districts, has very materially increased in the last two years, and during that period many new industries have been fostered and developed until they now pre- sent an aspect alike of stability and impor- tance. In fact it matters little to which quarter one’s attention is directed or to which section of the Provinec one thinks fit to proceed, in every district the condition of the affairs is in marked contrast with what it was some two years since.”

celina A Joke in the Montreal Common Council.

While the discussion was going on in the Council meeting Monday, a gentleman was noticed in the gallery who bore a striking resemblance to Mr. Joly, the new Premier of the Quebec Government. The Chairman of the Roads sent Darcy over to the mem- ber-eleet for the Centre division, who at once started out to invite the distinguished visitor to take a seat on the floor of the House ; and it was only when he had gone into the gallery, and, taking the stranger by the arm, asked if he was Mr. Joly, that he saw he had been deceived. The worthy Alderman returned to his seat in the Council, amidst the suppressed laughtér of the Aldermen who were in the secret, without moving a muscle of his very expressive face. Shortly afterwards. the stranger was pointed out to Alderman Mer- cer as Mr. Joly, and he too mounted the stairs, but, as he is personally acquainted with the Premier, he was saved the annoy- ance of being told that he had made a mia- take. When he had got as far as the gal lery door, he discovered that he, too, been hoaxed, and returned, vowing ven- gveance in his good natured way. At this point His Worship the Mayor, who did not seem to see the point, became annoyed at the interruption and calling upon the Act- ing Mayor to take the chair, went off in dis- gust. Meantime the supposed Premier look- ed on and listened to the discussion with a dignity and gravity worthy of a Roman Senator.

The Peace Prospects.

The Vienna correspondent of the London Times, commenting on the hopes of peace, revived by Count Schouvaloff’s expected ar- rival in St. Petersburg and the increased friendly character of the pourparlers, says: ‘‘Notwithstanding a way out of the difficulty seems at last to have been found, the egress is neither short nor easy. It is, after all, nothing more or less than solving the most vital questions, that is, doing in a great measure the work of the Congress itself. A

instinctively felt that the present may pos- sibly be the last effort to arrive at a pacific solution. The pending pourparlers no

but to the merits of a settlement in the last, and if an irreconcilable antagonism should rest on one or more points it would go far to prove the uselessness of further endeavors to bring about an understanding. Beyond this is the question of guarantees, to wit, the pledge that Russia will really make the concessions she promises, and the security that England will demand nothing further. It would form a dangerous an- omaly to leave the arined forces of the two sides face to face while they have diplomatically agreed. The withdrawal, therefore, of the British fleet and the Russian army seems to be a natu-

‘ral corrollary of an understanding. This

scheme is now broached, and in the old form as security against accident, but. in connection with a guarantee for the fulfil- ment of an agreement to be made. England is credited with the initiative in this res- pect. She is supposed to demand the with- drawal of Russian troops beyond the Balk- ans, as a pledge of Russia’s promise not to place herself in opposition to the wishes of Europe, while in such a case, she would be ready to withdraw her fleet. Curiosity, at this juncture, the Wiener Abendpost’s St Petersburg correspondent announces that im

tion and the hostile attitude of Roumania, it is possible that the Russian troops will withdraw from MRoumelia after Varna, Shumla and Batoum have surrendered. This has stréngthened the impression that the Czar would not object to the retirement of the Russian army from Roumelia, pro- vided he obtained Batoum, which would mean that England had withdrawn her op- position to the Russians’ retaining it,” St, John Tel,

certain nervousness therefore exists, it being ,
