Good Times Coming.

>

The London Times announces, with the approaci of spring. “a matked revival of trade. The effeets of the change,” we are told, ‘‘ are already visible on all sides. The

ery of aniversal distress which was. raised

very londly enly a fow weeks since, is heard no longer, or has sunk to am occa-

sional whisper. The country has got through the winter, with some hardships by the way, but without anything like the degree of suffering that was predicted for it. The tide has now fairly turneds The happy change is not, however, withent its’ drawbacks. It is the old story of Meshu- run, who grew saucy and rebelliouggas he grew fatand prosperous. ~** Pnsted@® of a season of slack werk, a-season of «trikes seems to haveset in. Scarcely a day passes without the news of some fresh labour dis- pute.” Complaints are alse- made of the number of vagrants who’ still ¢o 1e to ask for help on the plea of “hard tim#s and destitution. Moreover, owing to 1fi@ habit practised by somé insatiate hypeatits of visiting from three to’a dozen different soup kitchens every day, many benevolent persons continue under the impressien that the distress is yet unabated. Tne Times seeins to believe that, even at its worst moment, it was greatly exaggerated.

A correspondent of the London Telegraph states shat the inhabitants ef the districts on the north shore of Donegal Bay are in great Cistress, and are in especial need of

clethes, blankets, &. Some of them are almost naked He requests generous Eng- lish families to send them any of these articles, ef which most households havea cast-oif stock, in care of Messrs. McDevitt, Glenties, Donegal. The general distress

also greater in this region than in @

other part of Ireland. old woman, one of threa uninarried sisters, who lived alone in acabin near Ardara, was found dead near a bog with a creel of turf beside her. ‘Ths exertion of carrying the sods had been too much for her exhausted frame, the doctor who examined the body saying that it was merely 4 ‘skeleton in a bag of skin.’ Might it not be possible te send <elief of the kind indicated from Canaca to the above address. The cost cf old clothing and bedclothes would be nothing, and the steamship lines might, under the circumstances, be prevailed upon to convey them at a reduced rate, due pre- caution being, of course, observed, as to the source from which they were obtained.

IRELAND! Hearts are failing, mothers wailing, Hoe is drooping o'er the land ; Go of Mercy ! help dear Erin, Stay thy famine with Thy hand. Cleuda are gathering, darkly gathering, Fast the tide of woe rolls on ; Heip dear Erin, oh, ye people Till the wave of want is gone.

‘*Help us! help us! or we perish,” Is the cry from o’er the deep,

And the billows of the ocean

Chant a lonely dirge and weep. Help dear Erin ! help dear Erin ! Soands a tocsin from the dead, Seuands the voice of armied martyrs That a nation’s glory led.

They are dying ! they are dying! Sighs the breeze upon the stream, They are dying! Erin’s children— Oh, my God ! is this a dream?

In the midst of wealth and plenty ; Hunger knecking at the door ; Shrouds of pity, shrouds of mercy, Wrap the dead for ever more !

Cold the night, and chill the morning, Dies the fire upon the hearth ;

Dies the hope in Eria’s children, Faint each ember quenched by dearth. Woe is Erin! woe her people ! Femine darkens o’er the land ;

Tears of sorrow bathe the nation

Sv ffering Erin—faithful band !

They are dying! they are dying! Sighs the harp across the deep. They are dying ! Erin’s children Chant the psalm of death in sleep ; Tears and sorrow—hope to-morrow— Beads of woe in silence told— God of Erin ! God of mercy! Take the dying te Thy fold !

St. Paul’s Church Association.

An excellent paper on ‘‘ Cranmer’ was read by Mr. B. Warburton last evening, before a large. audience, in St. Peul’s schoolroom. ‘The lecturer gave a very im- partial summary of Cranmer’s life, net un- duly extolling his virtues or exaggerating his failings. He described the circumetan- ces attending the Reformation, and the able manner in which Cranmer piloted the Church of England throvgh Henry VII and Edward Vi reigns, and closed with an account of his recantations and subsequent adherence to the: Refermed faith, and his martyrdem, |

He was followed by the Rev. D, Fitzgerald, who briefly summarised the salient potnts in Cranmer’s character, and claimed that he had been exonerated by a recent publi- cation of thé Parker Society from compli- city in one case of persecution with which his name is connected.

Mr. Williams. pointed out Cranmer’s views on purity. of Bishops and Presby- ters ; the thoroughly Protestant character of the Prayer-hook issued by Cranmer and others ; and-his friendly intercourse with the Refowned Churches on the Continent, and‘lesire to arranye one Confession of Faith ‘for ‘the ‘whole of the Protestant Chureltes. ‘The epeakers lamented the fact thatjthe Church ef England to-day, instead of followin in Cranmer’s footsteps and seeking friendly intercourse with other Protestant bodies, turns rather to the un- reformed Greek aud Roman Communions.

Mr. Morson pointed ont, in a number of cases Cranmer’s time-serving character, and theught he was. nota fit character to hold up for our admiration.

Mr. Rowan R. Fitzgerald, while admitting many of Craniner’s weaknesses, pointed out his opposition te the six Articles of Henry VIIL., as endangering his life and position, yet even after they were passed by Parlia- liament, he wrote a beok against them. That he must be judged by the standards of the sixteenth and not of the nineteenth century in the matter of persecution of anahaptiets and others.

Mr. Dixon, while net defending many of Cranmer’s failings pointed out that many of the bravest men are sensitive to pain in an extreme degree, and that we do not know what pressure was put on Cranmer during his two yeara’ imprisen- ment to induce him to recant, and that

should test for themselves what martyrdom by fire is like.

Messrs. Palmer and Newbery pointed out how much the Church of England is in- debted to Cranmer and the Reformers for its beautiful liturgy.

The lecturer replied to the various points raised by the speakers, and the meeting dispersed.

The subject announced for the next meet- ing, on Friday, April 2nd, is a paper by Mr. R. R. Fitzgerald, on ‘‘ Luther.”

The Cardigan Ferry.

(From the Georgetown Advertiser.)

It is perhaps unnecessary for us to offer any remarks upon this subject, as it will

doubtless come before the Legislature dur- ing the present session. We, however, can- not clese our eyes te the great importance of-this matter, and lest any oversight or inattention on eur part might preve inimi- cal to the project, we must again state our ease in the shortest and most importunate manner possible. When it is remembered that this subject was discussed more than once in the Legislature, and was looked upon by politicians ef every hue asa matter of simple justice, it is impossible for the present Parliament to defer the matter any longer. We have learned frem a very re- liable authority that Mr. Davies, when at the head of affairs, recognized the injustice of the present inferior ferry accommoda- tion, and when the question came before the Legislature last session, we understand that the Premier stated in his place on the floor of the House that this question would be finaliy and satisfactorily dealt with dur- ing the present session, so that the justice of the matter cannot be questioned ; and nothing will conyince us that any repre- sentative who feels an intereat in the pro- gress of this country will refuse giving a subsidy for this purpose. We cannot un- derstand how legislaters who profess te have se much interest in the people’s wel- fare can withhold any reasonable demand the latter may make. We find in the Speech with which Parliament was opened, a premise given that efforts would be put forward to stimulate the agricultural and industrial industries ef the Province,

which in a manner binds the Government

and the Legisiature to take up this matter in earnest. On two occasions, to our own knowledge, very large petitions have been forwarded te the Government from the above named classes, praying fer a subsidy, and setting forth the many disadvantages under whichthe people laborin consequence of the Ferry in questien. It is, therefore, unnecessary to enter in a detailed descrip- tion of the intolerable. state of things

Year after year has passed away, and every other district in turn obtained such appropriations as they had a right to ex- pect, so that those who received nothing, almost, cannot be expected to remain con- tented any longer. The time has come at last, and sothing but fair play and even-

handed justice will reconcile those who have

waited so long in silence.

Upon the assurance given last sessien, that the question would be disposed of this year, those interested in the project were willing to show as much leniency as pos- sible; but it is absolute folly to expect the people affected by this undertaking to bear such treatment in the future as they have borne in the past.

The Appraisement of Goods. To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Str,—I notice a letter in last night’s EXAMINER, signed ‘‘ Commerce,” respect- ing the appraisement of guods at the port of Charlottetown.

Now, Sir, I'am surprised that any person at all acquainted with the action taken by Mr. Wolff, and the telegram from the Min- ister of Customs last fall respecting this matter, would publish statements that can- not be borne out by facts.

The facts are these : One case out ef five is ordered to the Appraiser’s warerooms for examination as a general rule; but, in some cases—for instance with American goods --- more than one package has to be sent, as the contents of three er four cases are often comprised in one invoice, and with only one case the Appraiser would have no chance to cXamine the goeds theroughly. English goods are diiferent, for as a general rule, there is an invoice for each case.

_A merchant importing only one case at a time mustexpect to have every one ex- ainined, as one is less than five. |

Yours, ete., Veniras. Charlottetown, March 20, 1880,

A Contradiction.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Sr1r,—I notice in the WerrKty EXAMINER, of the 27th ult., an accennt of an accident said to have happened Mr. Joha Wall, on the 18th ult., while on his way home from County Line. The state- ments contained in that account are simply base and malicious fabrications mannfac- tured expressly for the-purpoge of casting disgrace on the temperate and law-abiding community of Graham’s Ruad. The cir- cumstances of the case are as follews: Mr.

George R. McMahon, Station Agent at.

County Line, and two young men from Graham’s Road, were returning from a visit in that vicinity. The road or track was, a3 we say, ‘‘in the lane,” and the snow was deep. They met Mr. Wall. They had a young horse which refused to leave the track. So they stopped their horse. Mr. Wall came driving up, and, believing the snow hard, reined off and. passed ; but, just as the horse was regaintng the track, he sank in the snow, falling on the shaft of the sleigh and breaking it. Mr. McMahon and one of the young men went to his as- sistance, and, by slightly moving the sleigh to one side, the horse was enabled to rise without difficulty. They expressed regret for causing Mr. Wall any annoyance, and each went their way. Now, Sir, I cannot see any pusillanimity, much less ruffianism, in connection with these circumstances.

As the ‘‘ Patriot” published the para- graph, I trust he will publish the contradic- tion. Hoping you wiil publish this,

I remain, yours, &., 3 GRanam’s Roan, Graham's Road, March 20, 1880.

The N. S. Mines.

The report of the Department of Mines shews that during last year there have been taken ont ef the mines of Nova Scotia 13,- 801 oz. geld, 29,889 tons of iron, 788,273 tons of coal, and 95,126 tons of gypsum—

besides smali quantities ef other minerals. The quantity of coal raised is 17,000 tons greater than last year, but the amount ef sales is 4,000 tons less. For the nine months during which the National Poliey was in force, the output was 238,000 tons, and the sales 3,000 tons greater than for the corresponding period of last year. The sales during the last quarter of 1879 were 25,000 tons greater than fe: the last quar- ter of 1878. During the year our sales to the United States fell off 37,000 tons, and our sales to Quebec and Ontario increased 71,000 tons.

Tue story is told of a clergyman, that afier preaching an interesting sermon on the ‘‘ Recognition of Friends in Heaven,” he was accosted by a hearer, who said : i liked that sermon, and I now wish yeu would preach another on the recognizing of people inthis world. I have been attend- ing your church three years, and not five persons in your congregation have so much as bewed to me in all that time.”
