conviction.

—The preliminary work of the new Parliament has been done smoothly and well. Mr. Kirkpatrick's elevation to the Speakership gives genera! satisfaction. Even the Toronto Globe admits that he well deserves the honor conferred upon him, and that in point of ability, Mr. Kirkpatrick will compare favorably with most of his predecessors, and falis short

of none in gevialty of disposition and |

atfability of manner.’

As mover and seconder of the Address, Messrs. Tupper and Wood acquitted themselves creditably.

The former gave, as one of the miany indications of the activity of the country under the stimulus of the National Policy, the fact that during the past year no less than 2,139

patents have been issued at Ottawa, while the revenne derived from their issue amounts to $50,000.

An interesting fact was brought

out by Mr. Tupper respecting the trad of the Northwest with Eastern Canada. In 1881 it amounted to $115,000,000 and in 1882 to $1245,000,000!

How the National Policy cripples trade is shown by an increase of $44,000,000 in the exports |!

Mr. Wood in securing the ad- dress, pointed out that the financial management of Sir Leonard Tilley has resulted in a rise of Dominion Bonds from 91 and 93 in January 1879, to 104 and 105 in January 1883, or 12 per cent. in four years!

—Under the management of Sir Charles Tupper the Iutercolonial Rail- way is no longer a heavy burden upon the taxpayers, who may cordially unite in felicitating the employes of the road on the increase of pay lately announced. This reminds us of the unfairoess with which not only railway but other officials of the Government in this Province have sll along been treated. We have re- peatedly submitted, and we do so now again, that officials here should receive just as much for their services as officials who have like duties to perform in any other part of Canada. That they do not, is vot only a wrong but an insult to the officials and to the Province. We hope the Government will cause au enquiry to be made into this matter in order that justice may be done.

—Temperance men in the Upper Pro- vinces are taking a sensible view of the announcement that there will be Domi- nion Legislation on the licensing ques- tion. They recognize the fact that this Legislation is forced upon the Parlia- ment by the compulsion of the Courts ; and, instead of raising a factious opposition, they are pressing their views as to the restrictious which should be placed upon the liquor traffic. The Quebec branch of the Dominion Alliaace has adopted a report authorizing their executive to watch the course of Domi- pion Legislation ; and the Ontario branch of ihe Alliance has passed a resolution to the same offect.

—It turns out that the Mr. DeBlois, who has been raised to the Senate and placed in the seat of Senator Fabre, was not our Mr. DeBlois, but Mr. DeBlois of Beauport, Quebec. We have no doubt that he will do credit to the position ; but we are quite sure that, had our Mr. DeBlois been appointed, he would have done the position at least equal honor.

—It is not so easy here as over the line to obtain a divorce ; and it is pleas- ing to know that verv few cases of divorce have originated in this Province. But it is now reported that ‘‘ the petition of Mr. Peter Nicholsou, of Prince Edward Island,” praying for a divorce, was read in the Senate on Wednesday last.

—No serious opposition has been raised to the Local Government mission to Ottawa. The Patriot deals in a few pleasantries about the number of the delegates and “the frightful cost” to which they will put the Province ; but it is generally conceded that the importance of the mission will justify a deputation of three, and any reasonuble expense which may be incurred,

ADDRESS TO PARENTS BY REV. E. OSBORNE,

5. & J. K., IN 8ST. FETER’S CHURCH, ON | FRIDAY. -

|

The preacher chose as his text Zech. |

VUL., 5, as on Thursday evening; and com- | menced by dwelling again on the thought |

of the picture of child-life presented by the |

words, He also spoke again of God's love | for children, and the aim of the Children’s | Mission.

He spoke particularly to parents and | no parents. When priests consider the children under their charge, they perceive a power some- times seconding their efforts to help on the | children’s spiritual life, sometimes hinder- ing them. This unseen power is in the | Home. One home elevates, another de- bases. The frequent evil influence of homes is a difliculty to be faced, and decreased, Parents might co-operate more in this re- spect with their priests; might have more confidence in thenj, and believe that they are all working towards one end,

1. The home life. The standard here ought to be a high ene. Children shouid be brought up lo obey not so much their If the parent desizes the child to obey God, he must obey Him himself; the child will

tention to the training of the young. So we have had a *‘Children’s Mission” by the Rev. Edward Osborne, with separate

addresses to teachers, parents and elder brothers and _ sisters. The services have been attended by

members, not of the Church of Eng-

| land only, but of the other denominatious

as well; and this we take to be not merely a tribute to the eminent ability of the preacher, but also a sign of awakened interest in this very impertant subject. A strong voice which speaks out in plain language usually raises a counter-blast, and therefore it is not strange that the preaching of Father Osborne causes a good deal of talk in the community.

—In these degenerate days, St. Val- entine does not command such universal attention and respect as he used to do. A better period in the annals of valentine lore was that in which original stanzas, both strong and sweet, were the vehicles by which love was declared. Such a time we should like to see return. A fair sheet of paper, bearing in honest characters the expression of genuine

sentiment, whether peotical or other- |

wise, would outweigh, in the balance of a sensible girl’s opinion, a ream or two of printed pretiiness. For an example, we may look for back stock upon the calendar of the merry saint, and there find attributed to an immortal pen the daintiest of old valentines, which, it is supposed, was addressed to Ann Hath- way :-—

‘Is there inne heavenne aught more rare Than thou sweete nymphe of Avon fayre,

Is there onne earthe a manne more trewe Than Willy Shakespeare is toe you ?

‘*Though fickle fortune prove unkynde, Still doth she leave herre wealth behynde ; The ne’ere the heart canne forme anew, Nor make thy Wiily’s love unnetrewe.

‘Though age with withered hand do stryke The form most fayre, the face most bryghte, Still doth she leave unnetouched ande trewe Thy Willy’s love and freynshyppe too.

“Though Hae pes neverre faylinge blowe Doth manne and babe alyke bryn e lowe, Yette doth he take nanghte but his due, And strykes notte Willy’s heart still trewe.

"«Synce thenne not fortune death, nor age Canne faythfulle Willy’s love asswage, Thenne doe I live and dye forre you,

Thy Willy syncere and most trewe.”

It is a singular fact that in the United States, where woman clamor the loudest for their political rights, they have less influ- ence on the policy of the country than their sisters have in whatsome of their chaw- pions delight in calling effete England and moribund France. In England, where social proprieties are clung to with almost superstitious fidelity, ladies have a strong influence on politics. Lord Palmerston married a lady capable of mustering half the Whig party in her drawing-rooms, and was virtually head of her husband’s official propaganda. Lord Beaconsfield’s obliga- tions to his wife he himself freely owned, and recently Mrs. Gladstone visited her husband's Midlothian constituents, whom he was prevented from seeing by illness, and made a speech admirable in subtle tact. Norin France must it be forgotten that the seductive influence of women was a most potent force in shaping the political fortunes of men. Under the Bourbons, as well as the Valois, some court beauty was the keeper of the king’s conscience, and upon her nod depended the destinies of a Sully, a Richelieu, a Mazarin, a Saxe, or a Conde. Under the Convention and the Directory, Robespierre consulted the daughter of his landlady before sentencing a victim to the guillotine, and the influence of women over Danton and Mirabeau was notorious, and during the empire both the Napoleons felt and yielded to female power. In England and France women speak !ess about their rights, but use their influence more, than in the States.

| Ifachild is to be trained seeording to | God’s will, at home, its religious life must be regular. God works by law, and the child’s spiritual life must be ruled by law also. It is no use teaching a child to say his prayers, if he is allowed to neglect them whenever the saying is inconvenient.

Family prayers are much neglected, even by these who are particular about in- | dividual prayer. Why is this? Because | we are in too great a hurry; because we are | too eager for exi.tence and pleasure; and ‘often because families stay too long in bed {in the mornings. Working men who have }to go early to work cannot always hold | family prayers, but their wives can; and business men who don’t go. to- their office till half past nine or ten are always able to do it.

Another evil influence often brought to | bear upon children at home lies in the light | way in which serious things are tatked of | before them. They hear their elders dis- cuss the service, criticise the sermon, pick | the minister to pieces, and they remember }it. Such talking kills their instinctive |reference, and takes away the mystery | which should be part of a child’s religion. | Whatever has to be said in the way of | fault-finding let it not be done before the | children. |. Weshould keep before children’s minds lofty motive for doing things. Never set publie opinion before them as a motive for this or that, but the question, is it right or ‘wrong? Let them be taught ‘to seek to | carry ont God’s will simply—let all things | be referred to that.

2. The public religious hfe. “This con- sists mainly im the duty wf vhurcn-polmy, We are all members of a great social body, of a corporate society. It has been said that even in Goa there is a social life—the Trinity. It is not good for man to be alone; and in the church we have fellow- ship with each other. It is a aecessary part of discipline thai we should be dis- ciplined together. The public duty of the corporate society to which we belong is church-going. To fulfil this duty children should be taught to go to Church—not simply for the teaching they receive there, nor that the house may be quiet on Sunday, but that they may learn their responsi- bilities. But children are allowed to make all sorts of excuses for staying at home, and parents even suggests them. Many a child would willingly have gone to church in shabby clothes, if the parent had not prevented it, and so sown the seed of yanity in the young heart. The non- attendance of so many men at church is very much due to the neglect of their parents in not insisting on it. Much more might be said on the sabject of public religious life, but it all centres in church- going. The child should be kept up to its religious duty not as a matter of choice but of obligation ; but this can only be when the parents themselves are careful. Parents must walk where they wish their children to follow.

3. Personal dealing with children. Fathers and mothers should try to under- stand their children’s thoughts about God. People often treat a child’s questions and words about holy things as something to laugh at and not to be heeded. Don’t try to put such questions off without answering them; and don’t try to check them. Parents should look for such signs of re- ligious enquiry in their children. Tt is much to be desired that they would take theie clergy more into confidence as re- gards their children’s religion.

Parents sometimes don’t uiderstand and sympathize with their children ; they must do so if they wish to help them. Examine your own child-life and see how you have struggied and sinned; and so you will be better able to put yourselves in your children’s place. It would be good for parents sometimes to read children’s books, and so learn t6 talk to them, and to know the things that interest them.

Be on your children’s side ; snd ready to believe good of them, Sometimes parents credit the tales of ethers against their children without giving the little one a chance to speak for itself. Don’t “do this, and don't scold or punish a child before strangers. If the farther or mother is habitually against the children, they may keep them under, but they will not lead them, and they will make them deceitful,

It would be well if, when a ebild is in fault, the parents would try to see if the fault be not inherited. Not only physical traits, and bodily vices are transmitted, but natural, mental habits of mind. A parent is often angry with a child for the very fault that he or she has occa- sioned.

The preacher then repeated much of what he said last night about never re- proaching or taunting achild with :ts re- ligion; and went on to say that it is wrong t» make religion a subject for fear in child- ish hearts. ‘‘Thou God seest me” is a thought that should inspire love and con- fidence, not fear. Fathers represent to their children the loving fatherhoed of God, it is a fearful thing-ehen the relationsh:p between father and son eauses the latter to shrink from Ged, if He have any of the ctraracieristics Uf his earth! father.
