Counsel to a Child.

TRANSLATED FROM VICTOR HUGO. O, my sweet child, keep far away From the broad road which leads to pain ; Go where God guides thy feet each day, Child keep thy joy of heart alway, Lily thy purity retain.

Be lowly. What is it to thee If some be rich and others strong ? A breath and they are not to be, The strongest strength is purity, A heart that knows not sin and wrong.

For often God casts to the ground The mighty towers that fiaunt the air ; But where a mossy nest is found, W hence issues a sweet warbling sound, There He regards with tender care.

Oh, happy soul, beloved maid, Oh, lake of shining purity, In the dark valley of the shade Remain content where God hath made A sheltered bed of peace for thee.

Lake that the winds of Heaven perfume, The world is as_a restless sea ;

Its breath is full of fog and fume,

A very little of its foam Would bring great bitterness to thee.

Rest tranquil in thy solitude, Rest quiet in thy poverty ; Live calmly without restless mood, And study in thy maidenhood Only the great Eternity. E. L. F.

Reports of Qur Visitors.

(Presbyterian Wotness.) ‘*A PLEASANT LAND.”

Of course I mean Prince Edward Island ! This time we found it in the rough embrace of a wild storm of wind and rain, a cyclone which beat upon us from east and south and west and north, for more than twenty-four hours. Through pouring rain and sweeping

wind, under the swift scud that flew along the face of the slow angry clouds, we still believed, what wa could not see, that the ‘* Island”

is a pleasant and beautiful land. All night the wind sobbed and moaned, the rain dashed and poured, giving hope that the morrow would be bright with sunshine. But the morning came in through continued storm and rain. in the eventide it was light. The sun set in blue and gold and opal—pledge of a fair to-morrow. Friday and Saturday were for us days of perfect loveliness, abundantly repaying us for scourging wind and drenching rain. The sky was cloudless or only just flecked here and there with fleecy wreaths moving slowly before the soft west wind. The air was soft, balmy, pure and healing. Here we have fields green and greener, fields golden with the full eared wheat or with pearly oats, potato fields in blossom, fields dotted with lowing kine, with troops of horses, with flocks of sheep, fields brightened and made hoiy by the cottage homes of an in-

dustrious, a prosperous, and a God- fearing people; fields divided by haw- thorn hedges, sheltered by frequent

groves of luxuriant spruce or poplar or juniper—fields undulating like the waves of a summer sea settling to rest after a day of storm. It is much the same wherever we turn. Fertility, cultivation, loveliness, great barns, comfortable houses, fat cattle, swift horses, sturdy men, fair and stately women. We went by rail west and east ; we were kindly driven along highways and byways, by river, creek and bay, through the city, through towns and villages ; and the impression left on the mind is, Prince Edward Island is a pleasant land which the Lord has blessed.

Improvement is the order of the day. The farmer is helped by all the modern aids in the way of machinery. By the as- sistance of inventive and constructive genius one sturdy Islander easily does the work of ten under the old ways. And his re- ward is abundant. Surely there is no room this season to complain of failure in any crop | It cannot be—or our eyes tell not true. Great breadths of wheat are ready —for the sickle or the scythe? No, but for the mowing machine. Still greater breadths of oats gladden the eye. And potatves and turnips surely could not pro- mise better. This season as in other years of plenty the farmers will raise four times as much as will feed the whole population for the year. At Summerside, we were shown fields where the yield from one acre has been 75 bushels of barley. Three quarters of a bushel of oats sown in an acre yielded a return of fifty bushels, of forty pounds each. What would you say of an oatfield, green-and-golden, torty acres in extent ?

It is gratifying to see the farmers return- ing with zeal and intelligence to wheat cul- ture. Why should they not raise all the flour required in the Island, and export a great deal besides ? Any crop in any coun-

to be discouraged should the wheat prove as uncertain here as elsewhere.

The men of P. E, Island are as careful as ever to develop and perfect their school system. It is to be noted that one third of the public revenue is devoted to education, a larger share (I think) than is now, or ever has been, given by any other govern- ment to this department of the public ser- vice. The people are too shrewd, too en- lightened to be content with any less per- fect system of education than they enjoy, or to stop its further development, or to complain of the burden of local taxation :which they will have to bear. In _ pro- gressive countries no tax is paid so cheer- fully as the school tax. Iam glad to learn that here Agricultural science is to have the attention and prominence due to it in a ae which draws its wealth from the soil.

The churches in P. E. Island are active

and energetic. I naturally know most

\Murray Harbor,

try may occasionally fail and we ought not|®

about the Presbyterian family. One can- not but be thankful for the progress, slow but healthy and sure, which has marked the last thirty years. In Charlottetown the two congregations are prosperous and peaceful, under the care of strong and earnest pastors. In Summerside in the west, and Souris in the east, the same re- port reached us; and if we had been | privileged to visit in other directions, Belfast, Georgetown, Princetown, Cavendish, New London, and the far west, or the far cast,—all or any of the posts where our gallant and fsithful standard bearers have been toiling, some for many years, some for shorter periods, it would be the saine story of sowing in tears and reaping in joy—growth, expan- sion—gratitude for the past, and for the future, hope. I cannot but regret that I am deprived of the privilege of seeing the churches and the manses, the people and the pastors of the Island from East Cape to West Point.

Charlottetown is a growing city. It can show very respectable public buildings, handsome private residences end well filled shops. It is adorned with trees and has very pleasant gardens. The drives in its vicinity are charming. Its Exhibition Buildings and the arrangements connected with the training and testing of horses are, I suppose, the best in Canada. Summer- side is the second largest town in the Is- land. Its situation is charming,—in front of it the bay ; flanking it and in the rear fields of ripening grain, or fields which have already yielded their harvest,—orchards, gardens, pasture-lands, groves. A mile or so back of the town one reaches the ‘“*height of land” from which he beholds the waters of the gulf northward. For at this point the Island is only about two miles wide. Summerside is evidently growing, and it is destined to be a large and prosperous town. Presbyterianism is strong and flourishing.

We had the pleasure of visiting Souris in the loveliest summer weather. It is a lit- tle farther east from Charlottetown than Summerside is west, and it competes with Georgetown as a winter port of the Island. The Bay opens to the south-east, and when storms blow from the east or south the waves beat in with tremendous force. A breakwater has been constructed here for the benefit of vessels which in large num- bers seek shelter from autumnal gales. Souris has a considerable fishing industry; but its strength is its fertile soil. It is rapidly groving, and will no doubt be an important centre for the trade of the east- ern districts,

Socially, commercially, ecclesiastically, the Island is closely connected with the other Provinces, especially with Nova Scotia. It ought not to be otherwise. As means of communication are improving and multiplying, the ties will become stronger and more numerous. On Monday of this week,as we were homeward bound weselected the ‘* Capes Route,” the place where the ice boats cross in winter. Senator Howlan kindly came with us to the interesting spot where he holds that a tunnel or sub- way ought to be constructed. The eloquent Senator has made the question his own by his cogent advocacy. Facts stated by him, plans and surveys which he showed, made a most favorable impression on the minds of the men of the press.

Lord Sackville, as lord of the manor of Stratford-on-Avon, has presented to the town council of Stratford, a claim for en- croachment and rent in respect to the foun- tain and clock tower donated by Mr. George W. Childs, of Philadelphia. At a ccanty meeting several speakers dencunced the conduct of Lord Sackville in the matter. They said the spot on which the fountain stands has been used as a public market for six hundred years. The council holds that there has been no encroachment, unless Lord Sackville can prove his man- orial rights over the middle of the market uare. Lord Sackville’s agent vrites that if the council admits the claim, at the same time asking that it be not forced, his lord- ship may refrain from levying rent. The council, however, has decided to fight his his claim.

A special from the City of Mexico says Senator Call’s resolution in the senate re- lating to a Barmudia affair has caused a very favorable impression there. People of the United States will take measures to re- dress what is considered there an insult to its flag. Everything is tranquil in Sal- vador. Various industries which were par- tially paralyzed by the wer, are now being

rosecuted with vigor. There is no doubt rcrideant President Ezeta will be elected to the chief magistracy of the nation. The recuperation of the devastated districts in Guatemala is slower than Salvador, and in many places che coffee crop is a complete loss owing to inattention. The people seem generally restless and cautiously con- demn Carildas’ government.
