deal in fashien ; and it eceurs to us that | if'atew people of consequence would set the tashien of simplicity in marriage ceremenies, they would be doing a great service to the community. In | many memerable instances the higher classes have afferded a noble example by leaving instructions that thore tue nerals should take place without pomp or parade, and already we see the goed results which have followed, funerals among the middle class being as a rule much mere simple than formally; and consequently to our minds, meth more solemn. Births, deaths and marriages,

/are three events in human life usually

classed together, and which the statie~ tiean records, and the politician notes ; but marriage is the only one of the three in which the chief actors are voluntary and conscious agents. Surely it is the mest solemn act ef man er womes, and properly considered, is little allied ve pemp and testivity. Think what itis to assume, ina large measure, the 16 sponsibility et another's happiness and well heing! And this is really what in marriage we may be said te de. Surely a solemn, impressive ceremony with simplicity of attire is more iw harmony with the oceasion thaw much pageantry and festivity.—Chambers’ Journal. om —i> +> + <a

retty lookin’ way to bring in a hess. Ses mas you are te let a good hoss to.’

And Theve the Case Dropped.

N.teven a lawyer, however skilful in cross exatnination, can make a wite neas tell the truth, providing the wit- ness wishes tv evade it. It is impossible to put a question in such exact language that it willdemand the desired answer. Indeed, nothing is more true than the statement of Telleyrand, that language is intended |» cover up one’s thoughts, ani no ove ever practised the principle contained in the statement more than Talleyrand ‘imself.

It was necessary on 2 certain oecasien in court to campel a witness to testify asta the way ia whicha Mr. Smith treated lis herse.

‘ Well, sir,’ said a lawyer with a sweet nod winniag smile—a smile intended to drown all su~picions as te ulterior pur- poses—‘ how dees Smith generally ride a horse ?’

The witness looked up innocently and said :

‘Genera! y a-straddle, sir, I believe.’

The lawyer asked again :—

‘ But, sir, what gaite does he ride ?’

The imperturbable witoess answered ;

* Ho never rides a gate at all, sir, but I’ve seen the boy’s ride every gait on the farm.’

Te lawyer saw he was on the track of a Tartar, unc his question was very ipsinwatiog.

‘ How dows Mr. Smith ride when he is in company with others? [ demand ac.eur anewer.

* Well, sir,’ said the witness, ‘ he keeps up wit! the rest if his horse is able to, er if net, he falis behind.’

The lawy or was by this time almest beside himself, and asked :

‘And how does he ride when he alone ?’

‘{ den't kuow,’ was the reply; ‘1 was never with him when he wa® alone.’

And there the case dropped,

To the Editor of the Hxraminer.

Six,—I clip from the Patriot newapaper, which accidentally came into my hand, under the head of ‘‘ A Mistaken Notion,” the following :

‘* The measure under eonsideration is a bad ** bad measure. I believe that, if it become ‘*law is will do harm and not good, I am ‘glad to see hon. gentlemen speaking and ** voting against }t, but asthe City Council, ‘‘ which is supposed to represent a majerity of ‘*my constituents ask for it, 1 must do vio- **leuce to my convictions, and support it.”

Now Sir, I distinetly deny that any such words weve ever uttered by me. Every line in the clipping is in inverted commas, thus attempting to make the public believe that it fis a true verbatim quotation of what I said. whereas, lam convinced that twenty-five members of the House of Assembly, at least, wili say that it is the reverse of fact. -

On the Income Tax Bill, or :ather a Bill toamenda Bill that passed last year to make the Income Tax clause and others workable, I spoke to the effect that person- ally I was opposed to an Income Tax of any kind, but that as those of my constitu- ents whe would, undoubtedly, come under its operation, had pronounced themselves in favor of it, and, as the City Council, their representatives, were also in its favor, and as no petition had been presented to me as one of their representatives against it, | was prepared to sustain the chief objeets of the Bill. That I had not eome into the Assembly to be the representative of the views of George W. DeBlois, but of the views of a majority of those who made me their representative in the Assembly.

I now tell you, Mr. Editor, and through you, the people of this Province in general, that [ would not remain the Representative of any constituency for twenty four hours, who would introduce any Bill or measure of Legislation that I considered anconsti tutional or contrary, in any way, to strict justice: The Income Tax is a legitimate tax, and, if honestly carried out, avery proper one, but like so called “Free Trade,” it cannot, in my opinion, be properly carried ont. Had | been asked specially to become a member of the Assembly, to impose an Income Tax upon the people of Charlottetown, I would have asid No, PostTiveLy ! most positively !! as J would have said had i been asked to represent any constituency as a “ Free Trader.” The first, however, is strictly legitimate, the other is not, either in Canada or England, in the latter of which countries, although called a Free Trade country, a coast guard is kept at an enor- mous experise to obliterate the really Free Traders of the kingdom.

In the interests of principle and of our common country I have abandoned friends, as well asa salary of sixteen hundred doi- lars per annum. I therefore think that | can hardly be looked upon es a man who lightly esteems that which he conceives to be just and right.

I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, G. W. DeBrois.
