by the Post maste - General that the daily mails will have crossed in time to catch this train. But every one here knows that this will, on many days, be impossible.

The Invisible.

BY AKATARA, As the breath of man, which goeth up (though il Pp 4185eS8 be fore his V isual unseen when nature is warm and glowing with sunshine, but reveals its substance, when the agent of invisibility, its warmth, is withdrawn, and its temperature lowered to external conditions of cold, sv the pneuma, or spirit of man, his invisible Ego, being the breath of the Infinite One, has no recognition till the summer of life passes into a winter of discontent, and man feels the coldness of his own heart. Then, as if a redeeming power, like a cor- rective antidote from the hands of the Good Physician, was brought to the soul, it gets a pe rception of itself, aud the indwelling spirit utters its lamentations overt the things of time, and longs (as on eagle wings) to rise above the condition of its fleshly habitation.

The evidence of things not seen, is the substance of ahope in them; they seemingly are and are not, and seeing that as a man thinketh so is Ae, he thinks he knows when he only knows he thinks.

The invisible with the visible, the un- alterable with the alterable, and an infinite duration with time are aj] so interwoven that man cannot distinguish the woof from the warp, nor count the innumerable threads that Heaven has spun for Weaving in the life looms of Earth.

Invisibility may be (perhaps must be) a possible condition of what is called matter, that is all matter, but this invisibility of that visibility are -not fixed conditions, for, as it is the lens that magnifies or minifies the same thing, ac- cording to its constituency, so everything in nature, is what it is, alwaysand ever, but is or is not, or is something, or something else, according to the human, or divine lens that makes the investigavion, and ignorant- ly or wisely determines.

The light that illumes the earth is an in visible entity, it is a solar infringement on air; air isan invisible entity, it is an oxygen and nitrogen sphere of resistance; as the one invisible permeates the other invisible, the product is light and heat, both of which are, to human perception, alsv invisibles, yet, without this series of in- visibles, inpotent activity, man would or might live (there are eyeless fishes that do), but he would never know what was around him, never desire or dream of knowledge, aud never even give existence a thought.

It is, therefore, because of man’s invisi- ble surroundings that he lives, moves, and has a being

When the Infinite One said, ‘‘ Let there be light,” He commanded all light to shine. He gave the suns of the mighty systems of worlds, the light that should bring abun- dance to the inhabitants of those worlds.

It wasin obedience to that fiat, that chaos reduced itself to order, and evolved at last a temple fora God ; a thinking and immortal dwelling place for Infinite love and wisdom to furnish with his own like- ness, framed and faultless, in every apart- ment, with the words on every lintel and door post, ‘* Come unto me.”

Sphere on sphere, in glad enfoldment ranged their invisible amplitudes in pro- gressive order, from mundane centres to the one universal centre and source of all life visible and invisible, from which the true light shone, and will shine more and more, unto the perfect day, when the grave shall lose its darkness and death: be swailow- ed up in victory.

Yes, that very dissolution that is a terror to the superstitious and a dread to the self-accuser, will be stripped of its stone mask, and revealing itself as a mercy in dis- guise, will, when man is emancipate from fear, be hailed with hallelujahs and rejoic- ing.

When the deaf hear and the blind see, words will be heard from invisible sources and sights (not of men as trees walking but) of a company which no man can num- ber, who at one time were struggling incar- nations, then made glorious beings in the presence of the spirit of all life, taking rank only a *‘ little lower than the angels.”’

Y. M. ©. A. Notes.

Tue afternoon meeting on Sundays in connection with the Y. M. A. increases in number and interest. Would that more young men were there to take part in the services ; they would find themsels es blessed and thus benefited,

The educational classes opened this week; writing and bookkeeping on Monday evenings and arithmetic on Fridays. The members attending are in excess of what was anticipated. There are many young men, who are to-day taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the Y. M. C. A. that willin after life be truly thankful that there was an organization in their city that made it pussible for them, at. trifling cost, tu, in some measure, supply the deficiencies of an early education.

The Gymnasium is well.patronised. The regulations for the season will be published on Monday. All persons wishing to attend either the Educational classes or Gymna- suim must procure special tickets, from ‘the president as admittance to both will hence-

orth be by ticket.

The ticket committee are imeeting with better success this year than on previous ones. Still there are many of our citizens who might, without a very great sacrifice more materially aid the Institution. If there are any persons wishing to conneet themselves with the Association who have not been waited upon by the committee, they can procure tickets from the President. Several of our leading merchants have taken tickets for their employes. More might do go with advantage to themselves as well as to their employes. Young men who spend their evenings in the Y. M. C. A. reading room, gymnasium or educational classes will be much better servants and of

more profit to their employers than those whose leisure hours are spent in dissipation and places of questionable resort.

—John Ruskin, ina letter to the Tele graph, says : ** During the last. thirty years we have ceased to be English. Formerly swindling was not our method in trade, nor was advertising a necessity. Once we im- ported from America neither meat nor manners, and from France neither art nor religion. Formerly our nayy did not use torpedoes, nor did our army make use of rifles behind hedges.”

—Forest and Farm points out that it is a remarkable thing that while the farmers in Great Britain are seeking in fair trade, tnnat 18 a system of protection, a remedy for depression, the Canadian agriculturist is

virtually looking to free trade and muvre competition for the same thiny.

The despatch of the Duke of Norfolk as a special Envoy from the Queen to congra- tulate Pope Leo on the completion of his fiftieth year in his priesthood, isa bXppy illustration of the amelioration of theologi- cal bitterness. Englishinenare better Chris- tians and no worse Anglicans or Protes- tants for their readiness to recognize the importance of the Pope’s position as the head of the great Latin communion, and the personal virtues of the present occu- pant of the Pontifical throne. That this should be a prelude to the opening of those diplomatic relations of which so stout a Protestant as Prince Bismarck has seen the utility, is certainly desirable. But it is desirable, with this reservation—that it does not revive the passions, the disappear- ance of which it would be meant to mark. The so-called ‘* Papal Aggression ” and the foolish fury which raged in England in 1851 was long before | was born, but coa- temporary accouuts are very strange, amusing reading at this day. It would be much better to have no diplomatic rela- tions with the Vatican than a recurrence of the violence and absurdities of that year. But nations, like individuals, become wiser as they grow older, and I hope that the English nation is no exception to the rule.

* One blockhead has commenced to bray. The Rev. Jacob Primmer, of Edinburgh, hitherto unknown to fame—‘t a shepherd,” as old Mr. Weller would have called him-- has given vent to indecent and ungovern- able rage at the exchange of jubilee cour- tesies between the Queen andthe Pope. He announces : ** Her Majesty has set light store by her coronation oath, the act of settlement, and the constitution of this Protestant realm. She has virtually ex- cluded herself from the possession of the crown and government of the country, and her subjects are absolyed from their alle- giance.”’ Is it possible to imagine greater disloyal nonsense / *_* Among the many gifts which the Sover- eign Pontiff received, was a magnificent ewer and basin of gold, from our Queen, which the Pope used at the Lavaho at his Jubilee Mass. There has not been probably since the Reformation, such a number of valuable gifts presented to any Pope from the sovereigns of the world, as those given to the Pope on New Year's Day. Those offered by the House of Savoy were for obvious reasons declined. * * 7 The great delay in receiving the mails prevents us from knowing what is going on in Europe or in England, except the bald naked telegrams forwared from Sackville. If we were dependent upon them only we would know but little indeed of what is going on in the wide world. + *

I have often thought that an interesting collection might be formed of parodies upen well-known poems. Many of these pro- ductions are very silly and very stupid, but there are many clever Ones not worth _ preserving. I came across one the other day—a_ parody on the Rev. Charles Kingsley’s well-known song, f** Three Fishers which, I think, merits a place in your columns. In case some of your reaters do not know the song’I give it first :—

Three fishers went sailing out into the west, Out into the west as the sun went down ; Exch thought on the woman who lev’d him the best, Aud the children steod watching them out of the town ; For men must work and women must weep And there’s little to earn and many to keep’ Though the harbor bar be moaning’ >

Three wives sat up in the light house tow’r, And they trimmed the lamps as the sun went down, They look’d at the squall, and they look’d at the show'r And the night-rack came rolling up rugged and brown ; But men must work and women must weep, Though storms be sudden and waters deep, And the harbor bar be moaning.

Three corpses lay out on the shining sands,

In the morning gleam as the tide went down,

And the women are weeping and wringing their hands,

For those who will never come back to the town;

For men must work and women must weep,

And the sooner it’s over, the sooner to sleep.

And good-bye to the bar and its meaning.

AFTER KINGSLEY—A LONG WAY,

Three women went shopping out into the west, out into the West End of London town, each hadon the bonnet she kept for her best; and they ordered things wholesale and had 'em put down. For men must work and women must waste; and what's earned at leisure is spent in haste, though the husbands all are moan- ing. Three men sat up at a latesome hour, and trimmed their accounts as the sun went down. They looked for a squall, and they looked sad and sour, and their coat sleeves were rolled up all ragged and brown. For men must work and women must waste, and be dressed in the height of fashion and taste, though the husbands all are moaning. Three writs they are out in the bailiff’s hands, on the suing of one who wants money down. But the debtors, poor beggars, can’t meet their demands; so they go toa debtor's jail kept in the town. For men must work, and women must waste; and the parents are beygared, the children disgraced, and good-bye to papa and his moaning.

i give you one more parody upon Hood's **Song of the Shirt;’’ a parody which comes home to me very closely, al- though [ venture to hope that my last end is not therein depicted :—

THE EDITOR.

With fingers blackened with ink, with eye- lids heavy and red, the local editor sat in his chair, writing for daily bread. The small boy stood by his side, the foreman grumbled and swore, and the office boy, like an ‘* Oliver Twist,” constantly cried for ‘‘more.” He had told of a broken leg, that had never been broken at all, he had killed off the nearest friend he had, and torn up a house in a squall. And now he was at an end, he hadn't an item left; and he lowered his head to the small boy’s scorn like a fellow of hope bereft. They found hii a corpse that night in the street so drear and sloppy, with the foreman whisper. ing into his ear and the small bay waiting for copy.
