opinions or siatements of our correspondents,

| T'o the Editor of the Examiner.

y Srr,—A letter appeared in one of your | daily issues, signed ‘‘Your Oonstant reader,” which [ did not see until it re-ap- renee in your weekly paper. FE sheuld have considered it quite unoticeable, but for one expression in it, which condemns a volume of Essays lately published by me, as ‘‘utterly wrong, mischevious, and dangerous.”

The letter begins by ascribing to mea power, which I cannot by any means lay the most distant claim to, viz: The power of seeing impossibilities. And to render the expression all the more forcible the word ‘* impoasibilities” is pat in italics. Aiter this tremendous laudation, which is exiremely flattering, but which I can’t say that | exactly understand, it seems almost surprising that the writer denies me the power to sulve them. This, however, is somewhat more apparent, and I think that I may safely agree with him on that point. Then follows an appeal to common sense, which one would have thought he would hardly have been bold enough to hazard after the above. After this comes the argument, which, boldly defying logic, reason, and all the powers of argument, scatters them to the winds as useless, and is content with relying for its conclusions solely upon the following preludes, *‘T cannot think that,” “It seems te me,” and ‘‘In my opinion,” which are apparently considered quite sufficient to condemn any- thing opposed to them as ‘‘ utterly wrong, mischievous and dangerous,” Now, for fear that my poor little volume might pos- sibly recover from the tremendous efiects of what the writer thinks, what seems to him, or what his opinion is, still more terrible antagonists are brought to cver- whelm it. Sodom and Gomorrah are raised from their ashes, the plagues of Egypt are revived, and Pharaoh and his host are evoked from the Red Sea. That it survives this tremendous onslaught is surely a standing proof in itself of the truth of its own assertion as to the possi- bility of miracles.

The next paragraph in the letter of ‘‘ your constant reader” is painfully mys- terious and implicable, it runs thus; ‘‘ All personalities ought to be sunk in these fearful and tremendous topics.” alities! What personalities? No personali- ties have been entered into to my knowledge, and the letter I am now mildly criticizing is the only one I have seen or heard of on the subject of my short essays. What ‘on earth can it mean? and by what process can personalities be sunk in topics ?

The last paragraph in this choice epistle is-delicioys. The writer avows his inten. tion to offer up a prayer that we may not seek to be too wise. Let me earnestly en- treat him not to do so on my account. Of course he is perfectly at liberty to do so on his own, but there seems to be hardly any necessity for it.

In conclusion, I would give ‘ Your con- stant reader’ a little bit of advice, which he evidently needs. Don’t condemn any- thing, especially in unmeasured language, unless you can give stronger reasons for it, than your own opinion, and if you wiil

Person- |

| Younker. The following particulars of her | life we quote from the Patriot of July 3, 11874 :—

“* We had the privilege, a day or two old lady ; a lady who has been for eighty-eight years /a resident of this Island. She is not a ‘native. She was four years old whén she jcame here. This old lady of ninety-two, ,who has endured all the hardships of an early settlers’ life, can s¢e as well, and hear as well as most young persons. She is in perfect possession of all her faculties, and | She is as bright and cheerful a woman as one would see in a day’s travel, This | kindly old lady, who has, in her day, ' worked hard, in doors and out of doors,whe , has borne and reared twelve children, is, in both mind and body, singularly free from the infirmities of extreme old age. It is most pleasant to have a chat with her about old times. She is communicative without being in the least garrulous, and her conversation shows that she possesses a sound judgment, as well asa kind heart and a cheerful spirit. Mrs. Younker has a clear recolleciion of what Charlottetown | Was more than eighty years ago, when | there were but two or threo houses in it ; | when it could not boast of a church, and | When the ground on which the Patriot Office now stands was covered with the | primeval forest. She lived in the country when there were no roads in it. She told (the writer that Parson DesBrisay, whom /8he holds in reverential remembrance, /used to travel between Covehead and |Charlottetown in a doeg-sleigh, She knows all about all the old families, and her remarks upon the changes which she has witnessed in her long life-time are appropriate and interesting. Her prayer _to be delivered from “envy, hatred, malice ‘and all uncharitableness,” has been surely ; answered. She seems to remember noth- Ling but the good qualities of those with | whom she has come in ecntact, and who have passed away. Mrs. Younker draws a vivid picture of the hardships which the -early settlers on this Island were com- pelled to undergo. How she bore the large share of them which fell to her lot, without injuring her constitution and crushing her spirit, is a problem which | many of us, surrounded as we are by comforts and conveniences of every kind, would do well to stndy. She ;has not troubled the doctors a great ‘deal ; and she told us, with a smile, that ishe- brought up her twelve children to ,manhood and womanhood without paying ‘a single sixpence for medicine. She has now about forty grand-children, and more than fifty great-grand-children. The hour that we were privileged to spend with Mrs, Younker, who, in conversation and manner (is as truly alady as if she had spent her days in drawipg-rooms, was most inter- esting. It is truly pleasing to see the jevening of a useful and virtuous life | closing so ca’mly and so serenely.”

A Gigantic Undertaking.

HOW NORTH AFRICA IS TOBE BROUGHT UNDER FRENCH INFLUENCE.

The French Government has adopted the scheme for the formation of a great iaternal sea in the south of Algeria and Tunis, which was at one time thought to be chime- rical. the rapid building of railways in Senegal, with the creation of the sea in question, it is believed, would bring almost the whole of northern Africa under French influence. The recent report of M. de Freycinet to the President embodies a resume of some of the physical difficulties in the way, and the political and other reasons in its favor. Asto the former, we are told the proposed sea wou'd be seven times the size of the Lake of Geneva, or about 350 kilometres long (210 miles) by frum 35 to 40 kilo- metres in width (25 milee). A canal of 240 kilometres would lead to the Gulf of Gabes. In the south of Algeria ana Tunis are immense and waste depressions of the surface known as chotts. The only werk to be done would be to construct the canal and let the water from the Mediter- ranean in. The objections that are made against the plan, as well as the arguments in its fayor, are necessarily vague, and their truth more or less a matter of con- jecture. M. DeFreycinet emphasizes its use as a barrier, as it were, against the savage tribes to the east and south of the Frenvh possessions. The committee ap- pointed to finally consider the question, and which will begin work on the 30th of uext month, will comprise 48 members be- longing to the various departments of the Government, 16 members of Parliament, and most distinguished military and civil engineers.

A little romance in real life occurred in Tacoma, Washington Territory, a few days since, in the marriage of a couple who had been divorced from each other a year or more ago in California. The reconciliation was consummated at the death-bed of an only child, a beautiful boy, the father going at the summons of the mother to assist in nursing him.

Mr. John Wood, with the American Pottery Co., Trenton, was cured by St. Jacobs Oil of an attack of rheumatiem, which had confined him to his bed for seventeen weeks, and his case was thought worthy of mention by the Trenton (N. J.) Gazette. He praises it unstintedly every- where he goes.

The reason has transpired why the Mar- quis of Anglesea abandoned in Paris his beautiful American wife, formerly Miss King, of Georgia. He had lost heavily at a gaming table, and feared to face the music. It is said that she has gone to meet him with a smile on her lip and a tear in her eye.
