The Lepers of N. B.

In the Toronto Globe of the 24th inst., we notice a graphic description of the Lepers of Tracadie. It is a reported lecture by Archbishop Lynch, and treats of the past and present condition of the Lazaretto. From the lowest points of misery and aversion the lepers have been surrounded with creature comforts and spiritual consolation, and the ministrations of devoted women. When the appeal was made to the Mother Superioress of the Hotel Dieu for help, she asked for volun- teers, seven being required,but every sister came forward. Then seven of the fittest were selected and went to their loathsome work. Since then the number of attend- ants on the lepers has been increased to sixteen; and we say :

All honor to the good and true; That rose at mercy’s call :

The Sisters of the Hotel Dieu, . The Nuns of Montreal.

His Grace, the Archbishop, enters his earnest plea for more aid, and asks every- one to encourage, (a8 opportunity occurs) the Federal Government to build an hospi- tal for the poor lepers, worthy of the charity and benevolence of the country, aud adequate to the wauts of that leprous assembly. This we endorse. Who can describe a leper’s misery /

Oh ! cry of sorrrow, cry of woe, That wails upon the wind,

When no one comes and no one goes To cheer the troubled min4.

Let it ascend to God on aigh, For lo! He waits to bear

The burden of a broken sigh, Upon His mercy there.

From loathsome lepers come this wailing Cry of blank despair;

It tells a human-suffering tale That echoes every where.

Leprosy (B. C., 1490) prevailed in ancient times throughout Asia. It is de- scribed in the thirteenth chapter of Leviticus. It has almost disappeared from Europe. It chiefly affected the lower classes, yet occasionally proved fatal to the very highest personages. Robert Bruce, of Scotland, died of leprosy in 1329.

An hogpital for lepers was founded at Granada by Queen Isabella, * of Castile,

about 1504, and a large number of leper | houses were founded in Britain, but the

last case was in 1809, which Dr. Edmond- son met with in Edinburgh. The gexistence of leprosy to-day in

a sisier province cannot be ignored —and the only remedy(?) being perfect isolation, it follows, that Gov-

ernment has a duty before it in making ample provisicn, both for treating and pre- venting the spread of this loathsome dis- ease.

Stick—y.

Tue History of The Cane would make a wonderful chapter of instruction, if it were put into print. From childhood to old age it takes its little place among the sina qua nons of individual experience. As a stick, imitated in candy, the baby begins to love it ; in various forms the boy plays with it ; as an ornament, the Dade twirls it ; and in old age the bending back looks to it for support. Every section of its history con- tains matter enough for a good-sized volume, but if every pro and con were made to offset one the other, just as its uses produce good or harm, it would pro- bably soon become self-evident that a cane was not specially endowed with advantages, nor very prolific in benefits, except to the ‘lame and halt.” The baby, the boy, and the Dude may be indulgentiy let alone with their plaything, but when the infirm- ities of age are creeping on, there has come u time when a warning voice may be allowed a few utterances When a man begins to lean on a stick, he begins to be misshapen and crooked. A stick is of no use to a straight back, and to make it work the back has to bend to it, and the gait to become one-sided and lame. The symbol of old age is when a weak, crooked, totter- ing old masculine is drawn, bending over a cane and curving his spine to please a stick,

Of all ‘“‘curvatures of the spine,” that produced voluntarily by leaning on a cane for support, admits of the least excuse. Perpetually resting on oue leg, as so many young people do, from ignorance of its evil effect upon their forms, is a trifle compared with the folly of middle-aged men making guys of themselves by assuming to be pre- maturely old.

How true it is that God made man upright but he hath sought out many inven- tions that checkmate the purposes of his Creator.

The Prince of Wales’s Daughter Engaged.

It is stated in Swedis!: circles that the visit of their Royal Highnesses to Sweden is connected with the marriage between Princess Louise of Wales and Oscar, Duke of Sundermenia, second son of the King of Sweden and Nerway, the ‘‘Sailor from a cruise around the world in the corvette Vanadia.” The Prince is an officer in the navy, and twenty-four years of age. Since returning, His Royal Highness has suffered greatly from a protracted cold and head- aches; but, having consulted Dr. Meyer, of Copenhagen, this eminent physician has declared there is no cause for anxiety. Having been recommended highland air, the Prince has gone off to spend a few weeks

‘among the mountains of Jemtland, and

there is every hope of his being able to be present at tho reception of our royal family in Sweden. The marriage has been receiv- ed with great enthusiasm in the Scandina- vian countries, where the English and Danish royal families are greatly respected. —London World.

VOL i7.---h U, SO,

. Canada and Australia. | Lord Elphinstone, who has lately retuin- led from an Austratina voyage, and who is wellacquainted with our Canadian North- west, gave his views as to the relative merits of Australia ani Canada. They are |very complimentary to the latter country and are well worth producing for the perueal of our readers. He says :—

i *Neither the Anstralian colonies nor | New Zealand possess large areas of culti- 'vatable land which can be given to the immigrant without money and without ‘price, and which he can at once with very | little capital proceed to cultivate and main- tain himself and his family comfortably. ‘There is not in the whole scuthern hemi- ‘sphere such a region as lies between Wir- nipeg and the Rocky Mouttains, an area of cultivatable wheat-growing land one ‘thousand miles long and between two and ‘three hundred miles wide. When it is ‘known that the immigrant can get 160 ‘acres of this land, by merely asking for it, | it is difficult to understand why it is that | more of the land-hungry people of the Old | World do not take advantage of so liberal an offer. There is a prejudice against (Canada on account of its climate. Many , people in Europe imagine that the climate is too cold for Europeans tv live in with coufort. But they have not seen the men ‘and women that are raised in this cold ‘country. Judging by the physique of Canadians, both east and west, the conclu- ‘sion is uvavoidable that the climate of | Canada is weil suited to men of European origin. The country is adapted not ouly to raising wheat, but is most favorable to | the development of the human race. No |European parent need fear to see his chil- dren degenerate either physically or intel- 'lectually in Canada. As a country for men | of small means who intend to work them- |selves and to bring up their children to | work, Canada has a decided advantage over the Australian colonies. And the hope of the future of Canada lies mainly in this, | that so very large a proportion of its sur- face is composed of good land capable of | yielding under moderately good cultivation ‘nearly everything required for the support ‘of man, itis capable of supporting in pro- portion to its extent a large and vigorous | population.

Miscellaneous Inventions.

A reversible plough has been patented by | Mr. William C. Haulbrook, of Homer, Ga. The construction is such that the plough- jiman can, by pressing a lever release a |handle block, so the ploughs can be re- | versed by swinging the beam to one side, jand quickly fixed firmly in place, so that ' there can be no shaking of the parts when |in use.

| A strainer for funnels, etc., has been | patented hy Mr. Francia O. Butterfield, of Lynn, Mass. It is preferably made of wire 'cloth rolled into tubular form, and made | slightly tapering to fit tightly in a tube at | ite lower end, to strain auy liquid poured eae funnels and obviate the clogging

of the funnels. | | A wheel has been patented by Mr. Geo.

|W. Mecham, of Columbia, Texas. This invention covers novel features in that class of expanding wheels in which the hub has an inclined abutment on which the inclined ends of spokes rest, the spokes being clamped in position and adjusted on the abutment by clamping collars. ‘

A butter worker has been patented by Mr. James H. Taylor, of Westfield, Mass. {This invention covers an improvement in that class of butter workers in which a roller works over the bottom of a box or tray containing the butter, the worker being operated by a rack and pinion and a ‘crank, and so the brine and milk pressed out can flow away.

A hub for vehicle wheels has been patented by Mr. Alfrod Bradley, of Day- ton, Ohic. This invention covers a special construction intended to so form the tenon that compression will not affect its fibers, and that the expansive force of compressed tenons will operate on the interior of the hub while the periphery will be free of strain.

A spring seat has been patented by Mr. George W. Marray, of Bluffton, Ohio. This invention covers a special arrangemepvt of high and low springs in the same seat, with their action so controlled as to form a level seat or cushion on their united tops, and so their action shal! be proportioned to the weight to be supported.

A cant hook has been patented by Mr. Aaron Brown, of South Barton, Vt. Com- bined with the handle or lever and the hook, with its retaining collar, is a plate opposite the inner end of the hook, let into recess in the lever, and having stnds at its ends to limit the movement of the hook, the device being cheap, and presenting a considerable range of adjustment.

A road grader and leveler has been patented by Mr. John Skinner, of New- man, lil. The machine combines a main frame with harrow and scraper, a shoe pivoted at one end to the framing, and adjustable thereon in position to engage the ground with pivoted levers, and other novel features, for loosening and scraping soil and earth to a grade, end filling ruts and depressions.

A tobacco box has been patented by Mr. Albert M. Guyton, of Broad Top, Pa. It has two compartments, one for holding the plug and another for a knife to cut it, with slides, push knobs, and a hinged cover, and 80 arranged that the end of the plug may be projected sufliciently to allow the desired portion to be cut off without handling the whole, the plug being thus kept moist and clean.

A London journal, quoting statistics to back it up, presents as a moral paradox the statement that the most poorly paid work- ing girls in the metropolis are thoee engaged in the work of sewing and binding

Bibles.
