Equality.

ee

RY LFTITIA F. SINPSON.

Are ail men equal? Yes, in one broad sense, Born to an heritage of life and death, The rightful heirs of Eve’s inheritance,

*

The fair frail mother of our mortal bre ath. Are all men equal? Yes, to live and breathe-—| Some for an hour, it may be, some for years:

The privilege of a few to dwell in bowers, To many ‘tis a pilgrimage of tears.

Equality ? to live, and toil, and die

In thé vast universe of diverse ways And here, undoubtedly, the figure ends, So various, so checquered are our days,

The humblest cottage home must have its head, Its leader and his followers, great or small ; The mightiest armies must be nobly led,

And by their leader stand or by him fall.

Are all men equal? Nay, some bury deep The one poor talent darkly ont of sight,

While otuers who have tea w A rich, luxuriant harvest of delight.

Equality? Nay, ‘tis not to be found

In yon vast dome of stars and ether blue, Intinite space and mysterious propound

An answer to those questions, grand and true.

The white wing’d angels with their harps of gold,

Are led by Gabriel,in their ceaseless flight,

And when the city’s jaspar gates unfold,

The question will be solved of equal rights.

Are all men equal? Nay, in classic lore The scholar must interpret and invent. ‘The simple peasant, with his scanty store, Alone must walk the valley of content.

Nor men, nor things can never equal be ;]_ would mar the harmony of Nature’s chotr ; Each must fill up the wondrous melody

And swell the chorus with celestial fire.

The tiniest blue bell, by the rippling brook, The sturdiest oak, amid the forest wild— Each has his special mission to fulfil,

The stalwart man, the helpless little child.

The fire of genius, and the force of skill,

Upheld by leving hearts and willing haads

Must consecrate to work and do His will,

Whate’er the Mighty Architect demands. Nov. 9, 1877.

Suggestions for Speakers on Complicated Subjects.

First.—Do not be appalled by the idea that to make an excellent discourse you have to ex- haust the subject. No subject is exhaustible —only take the most salient points. Beyond this you will seldom be understood.

Secord.—Instead of multiplying heads or divisions of subjects, bring in your most strik- ing illustrations as fast as you go along.

Third.—Let each performance be complete enough in itself to more than satisfy one part of the audience, and not satisfy the other, be- cause instriking between the two classes of auditors, you will bring one up in sympathy with the higher, and the higher with the lower, and sympathy betweem the two secures the greatest triumph.

To Keep a Room Cool.

We read in a scientific journal: ‘‘ There is a method, which I have adopted in my own house, to cool the temperature of any room during hot. weather, and fhat is, to hang a sheet or a blanket down ortside windows upon which the sun may be stining. This sheet is wet, and the evaporatin of the water pro- duces a deliciously coe apartment. é is kept damp by hsvinga_ vessel filled with water above the to» of it ouside, and a piece of flannel arranged to form a siphon, and touching severa) portions of the shoet. The water gradually empties out of the vessel, and may be repleaished if necessary. The window is, of coursé, open. It is strange that so sim- ple and jxexpensive a method has not found tavor here, more especially in sick rooms; a eylindrical-sheped tin. vessel, with some very fine doles, fixed over the window, would easily supply the water.

Asour A Wei_t Written Inscripriox.— ‘Whatever pleasure I have. felt during »- my travels, at the sight of a statue or a monu- ment of antiquity, 1 have felt still more in reading a well-written inscription. It seems to me as if a human voice came from the stone, and making itself -heard through the lapse of ages, addressed man in the mudst of a desert, and told him that he was not alone; that other men, on that . very spot, had felt and thought, and sutfered like himself. If the in- scription belong to an ancient nation, which no*longer exists, it leads the soul, through in- finite space, and inspires the feeling of its im- maxtaltty, by showing that a thought has sur- vived the ruins of an empire.’—/Paul and Virginia.

Mr. Edward Jenkias, M. P. for Dundee, is says: the Birmingham (Crazette, happy in an vpinion of himself somewhat higher than that entertained by the rest of the world. On the strength of one rather clever, short story he plunged into political life some time ago, and havifig succeeded in procuring an appomtment under the Canadian Government, he has since held himself up as a species of authority on Colonial questions. do 8>-may be guessed from two facts—first, that the Canadian Government has rather summarily cancelled his agency ; and, second- ly, that the one result of his Guiana investi-

ations—a Government blue-book—has been od so unreadable that it has been necessary for its author to turn it into a novel to induce anyone to look at it.

His wife isa woman, and though she may be steeped in poverty, she has pride, and it will not permit her to imtrude her fifteen cent delaine, and her coarse woollen shawl, among the cashmere and velvet cloaks of her wealthier sisters. Such pride, you say, my dear Fifth avenue madam, is sinful. Granted. But what

shall we call your pride, which , keeps you at|

home Sabbath after Sabbath, because Mrs, Van Decker’s shawl is areal India and yours is only an imitation ?

Curiosity in children is but an appetite after knowledge. I doubt not but one great reason why children abandon themselves wholly to silly pursuits, and trifle away all their time instpidly, is because they find their curiosity baulked, and their inquiries neglected. — Locke.

J. D.MASON & CO.

Charlottetown b ChAD-10 THE PUBLIC WHILE taking this opportunity of thank ing our numerous customers for the

liberal manner in which they have patron- ized

OUR NEW STUDIO,

we would inform them that we have now increased facilities for the production of first-class work, and are prepared to make PHorocrapnHs of a Slyle and Qualily that has never been before allempled in this City.

We have on exhibition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photograps of every variety, including the

>

he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a softness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popular elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct atten. tion to the beautiful

Glaee'’ Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, snd will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. This valuable quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons can bave one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

We give special attention to making Groups of Fam: lies, Societies, Schools, &c

Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our #NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them- selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our cujtomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment.

Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring the public that they will flad our charges very moderate.
