Wish and Game Association of P. BK. Island. T'o the Editor of the Evaminer.

Srtr,—‘' The Prince Edward Island Fish and Game Protection Association ”’ have issued placards embodying the most important sec- tions of the Dominion Fishery Act of 1868 and the Local Game Law of 1879. Five hundred of these are sent all over this Province, and are, or will be, posted in every conspicuous place, so that ‘‘ he who runs may read” ; and no excuse can be offered by anyone violating the laws ‘* through ignorance.”

The inhabitants of this Island are, for the most part, the descendants of respectable English, lrish, Scoteh and French parents, and now, when they know the law, we feel sure they will not break it wilfully.

Some exeuse night be offered for the poor Micmac or hali-breed spearing or netting trout or salmon, or shooting a stray partridge during the close season, because their necessities might require it, but none can be made for those born with so many better advantages breaking the law and thriving, gipsy-like, by poaching. It is for the interest of all now to protect and preserve our fish and game, for, at the rate that our rivers have beer netted, and the game shot in the breeding seasons hereto- fore, both fish and game would very soon be regarded as things of the past, and classed amongst the extinct species.

By a little self denial nw, our rivers and bays will again abound wii’: trout and salmon, and the woods, marshes, covers, ete., be fre- quented by partridges, cucks, woodcock, snipe, &c., and afford ample profits and recre- ation for all, both in town and country.

It has been ignorantly said that these Game Laws, &c., are intended only for the benefit of ‘* Lawsports.” this statement is mani- festly unjust and absurd; for this reason: In this country everybody can afford a gun and rods; and they have them. There are no such

things as *‘ Licences to Kill Game,” nor do’

we want them in our free country; they are relics of the feudal ages and may stay in the countries whence they origina Town and country, rich and poor, can equally enjoy a

day’s fishing and fowling. A good many poulterers make considerable profit out of wild fowl, and trout in season always bring a ready market; but, if they are killed out of season, in their breeding time, and whole rivers at one fell sweep emptied of their trout, how long, it may be asked, in common sense, would the tish and game last ! Everybody knows the story of the old woman with the hen of golden egg fame, andits sequel. Well, they can ap- ply it tothis case, and draw their own infer- ence.

We feel sure that every one will vie with each other in doing all they can to protect and preserve the fish and game, and that our Pro- vince will not long remain behind the rest of the Dominion in its moral character in this re- spect.

Yours, &c., S. D. Frrzerracp, Sec’y Fish and Game Socicty. Charlottetown, July 25, 1879.

A Sermon to Young Women.

Dr. Oswald Dykes preached in Regent Square Church, on a recent Sunday even- ing, in connection with a special mission to the women of London which is being held throughout the metropolis during the pre- sent week. The congregation was prin- cipally composed of young wemen, a large number ef whom had evidently travelled long distances through the heavy rain. Dr. Dykes chose for his text Proverbs xxxi. 30. “Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain ; but a woman that feareth the Lord, she skall be praised.” At the feet of women as of men, said Dr. Dykes, two paths lie open. The name of the one is wisdom, which has for its beginning the fear of the Lord, while the name of the other is vanity which cultivates a showy and _ tran- sient attractiveness, that it may allure a passing homage, or while away a vacant hour. Vanity leads to loose behaviour, a frequenting of doubtful company, a coquet- ting with sin, and the usual commital of sin. The difficulty of finding suitable places of amusement, a deficiency of educa- tion, and the long hours of menotoneus labor, these are hurrying crowds, of young women into frivolity if not into dissipation.

3ut more than anything else, there is the force of example to contend with. Hardly any woman cares to be unfashionable, and thus a young girl is betrayed almost against her will into dressing with undue display, and wasting her time in. the sulliest of talk. Influences precisely sim- ilar operate in the drawing-room. Their accomplishements are cultivated not for their own sake, bnt solely because fashion prescribes and society expects them. This also is vanity. Whatever we do merely to be talked of, whatever we wear simply to be looked at, is vanity. The thirst for excitement is by nu means con- fined to the classes that teil for their liv- ing, but with them it is the most excusable. The short-lived praise which vanity begets turns to cold neglect. It beggars a woman’s nature, dwarfs her soul, and, if it does nothing else, it wastes in folly that which was meant for Ged. Let her once become the slave of such folly,and she is contemptible. Dr. Dykes then pro- ceeded to point out a more excellent way— a way of piety, which is heaven’s wisdom. Those who lived for present enjoyment, and sought to be admired for external appearances, would be undeceived one day. It is net atl sunshine for the butterfly, he said. But how often does such wisdom come too late! The worn-out heart of de- ceived and disappointed woman turns not seldom to other sources than the fear of God. She only chooses wisely who bestows the affection of her heart where love is supremely due, and who prefers eternal happiness to transient pleasures. In man- hood piety sits with peeuliar grace. The first lesson of Christ's school ig humility, the second trust, and the third purity of heart. How closely might woman appreach to the ideal of her Lord if she tried. It isin the serene atmosphere of home and in a woman’s heart that we can more confidently look for the beauty of holiness on fearth. But the beauty is in- ward. The path of heavenly wisdom is Jesus Christ. There is no other path that will conduct to eternal life. Nothing less noble than a religious life is worthy of wofhanhood—nothing but a religious life can avert a miserable disappointment. Itis only the fear of the Lord that can secure for woman an abiding and cternal honor.

The 10lst Regiment of H. M. troops celebrated the anniversary of the battle of Plassey, at Halifax, on the 24th, with an unusually attractive programme. The square at Wellington barracks, where the 102st Regiment is quartered, was eblaze with bunting and hurdles and other appli- ances necessary to the carrying out of the programme. The band of the regiment was in attendance. All the officers of the regiment were present and evinced deep in- terest in the success of the sports. The audience included His Excellency Admiral Peyron, of the French squadron, and all the officers under his command ; His Excel- lency Sir Edward Inglefield and lady, and all the naval staff; the oflicers and large battalions of all the other regiments at present stationed here, the American Con- sul and other prominent and official per- sonages.

A private letter received in Hahfax states that itis almost certain that Vice- Admiral Sir Francis McClintock will sne- ceed Admiral Inglefield on this station, and that his flagship will be the ‘‘North-

ampton.”’
