WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ?

The query now is not, } What values have you got, In banks, or stocks, or in estate, But what deeds have you done, In shadow or in sun, To make the people good or great ?

You have a reason why You hold your head so high,

And stride in pomp along the street ? Can you show any one . The good that you have done

Te make life sunny, pure and sweet ¢

Ship loads of costly wares. Bank-stocks and railroad shares, Are proper things to have or hold; But he has littl won Who nothing else has done But gather greenbacks, stock and gold.

You eat at ease and drink, You sleep; but do you think Of any mortal save yourself? Since life with you begun What have you ever done } To make men better, with your pelf?

Do you assist the poor,

Or drive them from your door? When panics pinch with want and cold,

Can any mother’s son

| Thank you for what you've done | Toaid him with advice and gold?

You cannot always live; Now is the time to give;

And let your heart pulse in your palms. Heaven smiles on every one Whose deeds, discreetly done,

Give added blessings to their alms

Rags in the wind that flies, Pale faces, hollow eyes, And the unworking multitude Appeals to every one, And ask what have you done To feed the hungry, clothe the nude?

Streets filled with the untaught, Foreheads unlit with thought,

Mouths full of speech base and profane, Might shame at noon the sun, Alas what have you done

To wash away the scathing stain?

May benedictions fall From heaven's starry wall On those who lift the “ trodden down ;" And when life’s race is run May they all hear * well done, ay ood and faithful—take the crown! — 60.

al True Witness gives an account of the fes tival on the 30th ult.,in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the religious profession of the Rev. Mother Forbes, Superioress of the St. Patrick's Orphan Asylum, with which she has been connected for s period of thirtyssix years, for twenty-one of which she has held her present high position of dignity and trust. The celebration was a mark of public testimony(suggested by the Rey. Father Dowd and his confreres) to pe wisdom, prudence, charity and other noble qualities which Mother Forbes displayed in the exercise of her functions. An offering, creditable alike to the givers and the re- ceipiant, namely, a beautiful nongest, cons cealing to reveal one hundred and fifty-two dollars ia gold, was presented to the Lady Superioress by the ladies of charity,to whose endeavors the institution owes its partial support. The boys of the Asylum sang a song prepared for the occasion, while a full orchestra, managed by Sister Devins, accom~ panied the chorus. An address was then read by one of the orphan girls,and another boquet presented by one of the boys, whic if less costly, was not less dear.

On the following day (July Ist) the Trus- tees presented their congratulation to the Rev. Mother Superior, and were present at dinner which they ordered for the children. The scene was a very pleasing one, the de- meanor of the children reflecting honour on }

those who-had charge of their moral and re~ | ligious training. the evening several

old pupils came to renew their expressions of gratitude to the Rev. Mother for her many acts of kindness to them, which they bad never forgotten. Such a celebration will be for many years a pleasant memory to all connected with the Orphan Asylum ; and it has brought into more marked — minence the results which the children and society in general have derived from

THE MARINE ANU FISHERIES REPORT.

[From the St. John Telegraph. }

The Marine branch of the Report of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, deals with a great variety of subjects, all of them ‘mportant, as some of them vitally so to Canadian nterests. TheLight House Service, which since Confederation has grown from a comparatively small to bea very extensive affair, 1s one of those, inseparabely connect~ with the safety of navigation and the con- servation of life and property. The enor~ mous coast line of Canada and the extent of its coasting trade rendered it necessary for the Dominion to go to a large expense for lights, buoys, beacons and fog whistles, but it is gratifying to know that these services are etficiently performed, The Ontario divi- sron, which includes the St. Lawrence lights as far as Montreal, has 90 light houses and 5 light vessels, with 80 keepers. Fourteen new lights were erected during the past year, and the cost of maintainance was $51,036. The district of Trimty House, Montreal, which extends to Port Neuf, 38 miles above Quebec, has 49 light houses and 3 light ships, with 41 keepers. The number of buoys in this district is 136, and the cost of msintenance $21,143. Six new light houses were erected during the year. The Montreal Trinity House have been re- cently abolished, all the lights in thi, dis- tricts are now under the immediate charge of the Department. The light district bes low Quebec, which also includes a few lights above it, and 3 on the coast of Newfound. land, has 38 light houses, with the same number of keepers, 4 light ships, two of | them irou, with steam fog whistles on board ; | 65 buoys,55 beacons and 7 provision depots. | There are 5 captains for the light-ships | and about 32 persons as officers and crews for them, 2 engineers for fog whistles in the light-ships, and 18 assistants and gunners for the signa! guns. The total cost of main. tenance last year was $65,545. light houses were erected in this district in the course of last year, and several are now

Five new

The New Brunswick district has 53 lights houses, attended by 44 keepers, oue light+ ships,stationed at the Inner Horse Shoe Bar, Miramichi Bay,and three steam fog whistle, viz : at Partridge Island, Point Lepreaux, and Machias Island. Of the light houses 26 are sea lights and 27 minor lights; the total cost of maintenance was $29,266. Eight new light houses were erected during |

Steam whistles are being | erected at Miscou Island, Grand Manan, | Point Escuminac and Cape Enrage. In the Nova Scotia district there are 82

light houses. Eight new lights were put

Shelburne harbor ; Green | Island, Lunenburg Co. ; Walton Harbor, | Hants, and east and west ends of Sable Is. | land ; as well as three steam fog whistl s, | viz: 1 at Briar Island, and 2 at Sable Island. The cost of maintenance was £110,953; so} that Nova Scotia is by far the most costly | province in the matter of lights. This hows | ever, includes the cost of maintaining the

humane establishment at Sable Island and

at St. Paul’s and at Scattarie Islands.

The P. E. Island lights were nine in nume ber, and generally of an inferior character , they are all to be improved with a view to bringing them up to the standard of the Dos | minion. In British,Columbia there are only tivo lighthouses and a lightship,but 39 buoys are maintained, and the cost of the service | was $10,018, which was excessive cempared | with the costs of lights in other parts of the Dominion. One new lighthouse is being erected in that province.

THE CARLIST INSURRECTION,

The vitality and strength of the Carlist insurrection in Spain, continued long after the European press generally had bid us look for its speedy suppression, is some- thing to excite remark, and to provoke curiosity. Two recent communications, one to the London Times, and another to the Fall Mall Gazetle, throw considerable light on the matter, and help us to under- stand what otherwise might appear inex- plicable. The Times correspondent, writ ing from Paris, says that French aid is what keeps the Carlists in the field, and enables them to obtain supplies, without which they would soon have to disperse. On the frontier Carlist passports are ac- cepted by French officials, when passports from the regular Government at Madrid would be refused. A whole department in France, that of the lower Pyrenees, has become an immense Carlist war depot. Parties in England and France supply money, as do also some wealthy Spaniards, and through the favor of French officials and people all along the frontier arms and warlike stores are openly conveyed across to the Carlists. The French frontier and French marxets are at their command, and Caalist officers come and go without moles- tation, not in uniform, indeed. but most frequently wearing a cap ofa certain pats tern, the significance of which is well known. Carllst officers and agents pass both ways as they please, and ship and despatch all the supplies they are able to pay for without even the pretence of inter. ference by the French authorities. The

of “the most favored nation,’ and to them | is freely accorded what the present Gov- | ernment of Madrid couid not obtain at any price.

The Guzette’s correspondent, himself an ardent Carlist, as we are informed, tells us | He points out that the defeat of the Carlists over forty years ago was eifected, not by they Spanish oppone | ents unaided, but with the co-operatiou of | an English anda French legion. But for | this foreign assistance, he says, the Isabels | lists would have had no in the former struggle. Tho Madrid Government, he says, inherits all the financial difficulties of Spain, while the Carlist administration | has no debt, and collects ¢he taxes of sev- In the recent contest at Bilbao one Carlist army only, which |

The Nation, (Toronto) is sorry to notice some rather bungling work in the new tar- iff of the Government, and from which it is clear that the authorities were not possess ed of the information indispensible to the proper drawing up a measure affecting di- rectly or indirectly so many interests in the country Pure wine(with all respect to our temperance friends we say it), is a great desideratum with us, and we are sorry to see that the efforts of honest and enters prising individuals to supply us with it are discountenanced by recent legislation, and encouragement is given to the importation of sophisticated articles. An ad valorwn duty was not imposed upon wines, but all not under 40 cents per gallon pay a duty of 60. cents. Owing to the bad vintage of the past few years and the increasing demand for Vins Ordinaires, they have risen in price, and a firm of importers speak in the follow. ing terms of the clause in the Act which is in substance: ‘“ Wines costing less than 40 cents per gallon pay only 30 cents at the Custom House, while all above that pay the high duty.’ “ A few yeare ago this va)ua- tion would have admitted many good or- dinary light wines. Now, owing to the ad. vance in prices, scarcely any genuine wine, even of the commonest, such as our cus- tomers would like or that we should wish to sell them, can be purchased so as to come under the low duty, - and it is obvious that when we have a taritt of sixty cents per gal- lon it is simply impossible to sell a wine, that is a pure wine, at a lower figure than $1.50.
