EZLAT2.’S Vegetable Sicilian

HAIR RENEWER

was the first preparation perfectly adapted to cure diseases of the scalp, and the first suc- cessful restorer of faded or gray hair to iis natural color, growth, aud youthful beauty. It has had many imitators, but none have so fully met all the requirements needful for the proper treatment of the hair and scalp, HALL’s Hain RENEWER has steadily grown in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness to every quarter of the globe, Its unparal leled success can be attributed to but one cause: the entire fulfilment of its promises.

The proprietors have often been surprised at the receipt of orders from remote coun- tries, where they had never made an eifortfor its introduction,

The use for a short time of HALL’s HAIR RENEWER wonderfully improves the per- sonal appearance, it cleanses the scalp from all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It etimalates the weakened glands, and enables them to push forward a new and vigcrous growth. The effects of this article are not transient, like those of alcoholic prepara- tions, but remain a long time, which makes its use a matter of economy.

THE DANCE.

for the ball-room; very wisely, for no ‘other room could have been so airy, or | would have had the advantage of the wide | doors opening into the garden, as well as a iready entrance into the other rooms, To be sure a stone fi»or was not the pleasantest to dance ou, but then, most of the dencers had known what it was to enjoy a Christ-

| ArtTuvuR had chosen the entrance-hall

Winter Crossing from P. E. Island.

| MR. HACKETT S SPEECH.

| Mr. Hackxerr—In seconding the resolu-

tion, I desire to say that two ye*rs ago we thonght this matter was finally s ttled. Last year again this matter of steam com- munication with Prince Edward I. land was referred to a special committee of this House. That committee exhausted a creat deal of time and patience in endeay ing to arrive at a proper conclurion We had witnesses from the Mariiine Fr >< inces,

mas dance on kitchen quarries. It was one gentlemen who were aequeint:d wth the of those entrance halis which meke the su! j ct, who had experie: ce in t)a steam surrounding rooms look like closets, with communication, and «thers who were ac- stucco angels, trumpete, and flower-wreaths quainted with ice-' oats, crossing over the on the lofty ceiling, and great medallions ice tothe waniand ; and after having had of miscellaneous heroes on the walls, alter- | all that evidence, they broug!t down a nating with statues in niches, Just the report which we considered cov red the sort of place to be ornamented well with! whole ground. The only regrt I hive is, green boughs, and Mr. Craig had been that that report, s» far, has not been acted proud to show his taste and his het-house upon with that energy whic! the people of plants on the occasion. The bread ste;s Prince Edward Island desired. I think if of the stone staircase were covered with | the Governmert consider that report, and cushions to serve as seats for the children, act upon it, they will arive at the e nela-

who were to stay till half-past nine wiih the servant-maids to see the dancing; and as this dance was confined to the chief tenants, there was abundant room for everyone.

The lights were charmingly disposed in colored paper lamps, high up among green boughs, and the farmer's wives and daughters, as they peeped in, believed no scene could be more splendid; they kaew now quite well in what sort of rooms the king end queen lived, and their thought glanced with some pity toward cousins and acquaintances who had not this fine oppor- tunity of knowing how things went on in the great world. The lamps were already lit, though the sun had not long set, and there was that calm light out of doors in which we seem to see all objects more dis- tinctly than in the broad day.

It was a pretty scene outside the house ; the farmers and their families were moving about the lawn, among the flowers and shrubs. or along the broad straight road leading from the east front, where a carpet of mossy grass spread on each side studded here and there with a dark flat-boughed cedar, or a grand pyramidal fir sweeping the ground with its branches,ali tipped with a fringe of paler green. The groups of cottagers in the park were gradually diminishing, the young ones being attract- ed toward the lights that were beginning to gleam from the windows of the goellery in the abbey, which was to be their dancing room, and some of the sober elder ones thinking it tive to go home quietly One of these was Lisbeth Bede, and Seth went with her—not from filial attention only, for his conscience would not let him join in dancing. It had been rather a melancholy day to Seth;Dinah had never been more con- stantly present with him than in this scene, where every thing was so unlike her. He saw her all the more vividly after looking at the thoughtless faces and gay-colored dresses of the young woman—just as one feels the beauty and the greatness of a pic- tured Madonna the more when it has been for a moment screened from us by a vulgar head in a bonnet, But this presence of Dinah in his mind only helped him to bear the better with his mother’s mood, which had been becoming more and more queru- lous for the last hour. Poor Lisbeth was suffering from a conflict of feelings. Her joy and pride in the honor paid to her darling son Adam was beginning to be wersted in the conflict with the jealousy and fretfulness which had revived when Adam came to tell her that Captain Donni- thorne desired him to join the dancers in the hall. Adam was getting more and more out of her reach; she wished all the old troubles back again, for then it mattered more to Adam what his mother said and did.

‘Eh ! it’s fine talkin’ o’ dancin’,” she said; ‘an’ thy father not a five week in’s grave. An’ | wish I war there too, i’stid 0’ bein’ left to take up merrier folks’s room above ground.’

‘Nay, don’t look at i’ that way, mother,’ said Adam, who was determined to be gentle to her to-day. ‘I don’t mean to dance—I shall only look on. And since the Captain wishes me to be there, it ’ud look as if I thought I knew better than him, to say as I'd rather not stay And thee know’st how he’s behaved to me to- day’

"Eh ! thee’t do as thee lik’st, for thy old

mothers’s got no right t’ hinder thee. She's

nought but the old husks, and thee’st slip- away from her like the ripe nut.’

‘Well mother,’ said Adam, ‘I'll go and tell the Captain as it hurts thy feeling for me to stay, and I’d rather go home upon that account; he won’t take it ill then, I dare say, and I’m willing.’ He said this with some effort, for he really longed to be near Hetty this evening.

‘Nay, nay, I wonna ha’ thee do that— the young Squire ‘ull be angered. Go and do what thee’t ordered to do, an’ me an’ Seth ‘ull go whome, I know its a egret honor for thee to be so looked on—an’ whose prouder on it nor thy mother? Hadna she the cumber o’ rearin’ thee and doin’ for thee ail these ’ears ?

‘Well, good-bye, then, mother—good- bye, lad—rememher Gyp when yeu get home,’ said Adam, turning away toward the gate of the pleasure-grounds. where he hoped he might be able to join the Poysers, for he had been so occupied throughout that afternoon that he bad had no time to speak to Hetty. His eyes soon detected a distant group, which he knew to be the right one, returning to the house along the broad grave! road, and he hastened on to meet them.

‘Why, Adam, I’m glad to get sight on y’ again,’ said Mr. Pcyser, who was carrying Totty on hisarm. ‘You're going t’ have a bit o’ fun, I hope, now your work's ail done. And here’s Hetty has promised no end o’ partners, an’ I’ve just been askin’ her if she’d agree to dance wi’ you, sn’

she no.’ = (To be continued.)

sion that the peeple of Prince Edward

Island deserve and should be given that steam communication which was guaran- teed them at the time of Confederation. The recommendation of that report is, in my opinion, the only mode by which com- munication can be kept up with Prince Edward Island—-at least in the winter sea- son, At the present time we make no complaint about the summer service. Last year it was very efliciently performed, and we think this last autum™ the Northern Light did very good werk. Although she has done fairly well, I must say that she does not come upto what was gneren- teed to the Island at the time of Confedcera-

tion. Asa means of eflicient commu- pication in winter vith the wmain- Jland, she has been so far a failure.

Now, Sir, this question has been specielly brought to our minds 'y the accident which occurred on the Stats afew days ago. Weall remember the great ai xiety that pervaded this House the opening dey of the session, when it was learned that a number of people from Princes Edward Island and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were for two days and a night ex- posed, at this season of the year to the inclement weather of the Guif of St. Liw- rence. Those men were overtaken by a very severe snow storm. They had left Cape Traverse, and were unabie to reach the mainland. Their only recovise was to provide as good shelter as poss:b’e, ly means of their little ice-boat, a boat only 12 feet in length, and they vere c mpelled to pass the nicht on the drifting ice, which was going at the rate of four miles an hour, before a strong north-east gale, in the mid- dle of the Straits of N:rthumberl»nd. That was an experience which I hepe no hon. member will be compelled to en- dure. We cannot imagine, and it is impossible to describe, the sufferings end hardships of those men on that night. The whole of them, I believe, were frost bitten —some seriously, some crippled for life; and all this because a small effort was not made to place the service in an ¢ fficient con- dition, If a emall steamer had been placed between the two capes, much of the danger might have been avoidéd. We know that while the Northern Light can keep up com- munication for a certain period at the east- ernend of the Island, it has been demon- strated that during the winter there must be an iceboat service between Cape Tor- mentine and Cape Traverse. The com- mittee on this subject recommended that the service should be performed by the Government. Let them place a sufficient number of iceboats on the route, and a small steamer +o act in connection with them, and make it a Government service directly, and I believe you will so overcome the difficulties that in a short time very few complaints on this head will come from Prince Edward Island. But it is not an island matter altogether, although we are called upon,as representatives of the island, to refer to it more especially. There is not an kon. gentleman’ representing a constituency from Sarna to 4Hali- fax has not, directly or indirectly, an interest in kceping up communication with the Island, because the people of the Island are an agricultural people and are fairly well to do, and they are large consumers of the manufactures of the other provinces. This is apparent, if you look at the agricul- tvral implements on the farms, and the elvthing of the people; you see the tweed manufactures of the older provinces, the cotton manufactures of Moentreal and Moncton, suvar and other products from other provinces. All these products come to the Island, andit is therefore, as much in the interest of the producers of these articles, indirectly, that communica- tion with the Island should be kept open, as it is in the interest of the Islanders directly. As this matter has been so fully discussed on previous occasions, as I know hon. gentlemen are thoroughly converrant with it, it will be useless to occupy much tive in discussing it. But, «8 regards the ice boat vervice, something must be done to improve it, either by providing & s @»‘mboat to assist the iceboats or in some other way. It will not do toaliow the matter to remain any longer in its present ‘ondition. The lives of Her Mejosty’s subjects, as well a6 thoe= of citizens of foreign countries, are in hands of the men performing that service, The Government should see that -+he men, when they leave the shores to make the trip between Capes Tormentine and Traverse, have boats properly equipped, and are pro- vided with everything essential to m»king the trip with safety. What are the facts in convection with this serious matter to which I have referred, end which eccurred only afew days ago! I find @ local paper ask this question: Is it true that they started out in the face of a storm, entirely unprovided with food, matebes, oils, light

or compass? There should bs someone in authority who would be held responsible in case of accidest. But it appears, that aithough this service isoue which should
