A Letter from Vich Dhomnuil Nan Ord

ON RECEIVING THR PHOTOGRAPH OF A FRIEND IN LAUNCESTON, TASMANIA.

Fungarque inant munere.

Methinks the Sun has backwards gone; or is it really so!

Matilda looks as bright and young as thirty years ago ;

Somehow it makes me understand, when sin shall be forgiven,

How bright and young we all may look, within the Gate of Heaven.

Photography suggests a thought, most ter-

rible to me,

A thonght, a fancy, or a TRrurH, as it may

prove to be ; *

What if that Sun, whose radiance now

makes hill and valley gay,

Be taking hourly Photographs against the

Judgment Day !

How earnestly, how fervently, we all have

cause to pray,

That every evil Photographed may new be

sponged away ! '

The Holy Gospel shows how this wonder

may be done

For those who cling in Faith and Love te

him who made the Sun.

Tho’ here we cannot grasp your hand,

across the foaming brine,

‘“ We'll take a cupof kindness yet, for Auld Lang Syne !”

We know that you will ‘‘ tak” one too, in bright Australian Wine,

To wet the Leg of Kangaroo, on whieh per-

chance, you dine.

The Sun, who took your Photograph to you

will soon go round ; ,

By him we send a telegram, to far Tas-

manian ground,

‘Tis this, unchanging as hie course, in

Majesty above,

Accept from all your Kinsfolk here, their

best and kindest Love !

TEMPEBRANCE.—The term of three years

for which St. James T. A. S. was formed,

having expired on the 16th inst., a meet-

ing was held on Sunday evening for the

purpose of re-erganizing the Society for

another term of the same length. After

winding up the business for the past year,

those present were requested to come for-

ward and renew their pledges for three

years, and a large number responded,

showing great enthusiasm in the cause.

The appointment of officers for the ensuing

year resulted as follows :

Patron—Very Rey. Dr. McDonald, Spiritual Director—Rev. J. C. McDonald President—Peter McCourt. Vice President—Donald B, McPhee. 2nd do—Henry Griffin. 3rd do—James McPhee. Treasurer—¥. W. Reddin. Messenger—John Griffin. Secretary—A. E. Bourke, (re-elected. —Advertiser. Free.—At about one o’clock on Friday last the workshop of a man named Alex. Renton, Georgetown, was discovered to be on fire, and in less than on hour it was burnt to the ground,together with his barn, and the contents of both buildings. At one time the adjoining residences, owned by H. C. McLeod and Charles Owen, Esquires, were in imminent danger, but fortunately the wind veered 8. 8S. W., which partially prevented the intense heat

of the burning buildings from bear- ing upon those adjoining. Even then had it not been for the snow on the rvofs of those houses, we believe they would have been re- duced to ashes. The narrow escape

of a block ef buildings wasjaltogether provi- dential, as there were no appliances worthy of the name to save them under less favorable circumstances. It is sup- posed that the}fire originated from shavings being placed near a stove in the workshop, by children. The loss is estimated at $400. The New York Herald says an exploded boiler was, on the 18th inst., blown five hundred feet into the air and traversed a block before it descended. Some twelve years ago a boiler performed a similar freak in this city and made a happy home

‘A P. B. Islander Distinguishes | Himself.

| The Rockland (Maine) Gazette, of the 7th inst., says: It may not be generally known to those living at a distance from our city, that we have among us one of those remarkable men of genius, a native of Prince Edward Island, Dominion of Canada, who came here a few years since, and set up business as a first-class boot and shoe mrker. Being possessed of a restless mind, he conceived the idea that perfect ventilation must be applied to a boot or shoe, whereby persons subject to sweaty feet might obtain relief, and after many fruitless attempts and almost ready to give up in despair, by a lucky thought dis- covered what is now known as the ‘‘ Me- Donaid Wire Coil Boot and Shoe Ven- tilator,” which promises to be one of the most important inventions of the age. It is less than four months since the rubber ventilated boots have been introduced into this city, and I will venture to say that not one pair without the ventilator can be sold (except to strangers to the patent), and the sale is already assuming large proportions in this State, the sales in this city alone amounting to over five hundred pairs up to the present time, with the verdict wholly in faver of the boots with the ventilators, The sole interest in this truly valuable in- vention was purchased by the ‘‘ McDonald Boot and Shoe Ventilating Company,” who confidently predict an enormous sale for the invention in rubber, as well as leather goods, in &the future, and are in daily re- ceipt of testimonials in favor of the ven- tilated boots, among which are some from the police and fire patrolmen of Boston.

A very significant movement is afoot with regard to the land agitation in Ireland, which may have an influence on the final settlement of the question. I refer to the attitude suddenly adopted by numbers of the Irish landlords, both libera! and con- servative, favoring what are called the three (‘‘ F’s”)—meaning fair rent, fixity of tenure and free’sale. ‘The landlord’s oppo- sition to these measures has been sensibly lessening in many quartersfor some. The first public expression given to them was during last week at a Monaghan Orange meeting, presided=over by Lord Rossmore. This meeting made the three (‘‘F’s’) its platform. This action shows on the part of the young nobleman and the other landlords assuciated with him a public spirit and wis- dom far in advance of their class. Some Armagh men have done the same thing. Many prominent English members of Par- liament have also spoken ont clearly on this point. Furthermore the London Times which has heretofore opposed concession and favored an out and out policy on the part of England toward Ireland, printed on Saturday a remarkable article, arguing vigorously in favor of the fixity of tenure and the other F’s, saying :—‘‘ The easiest way to establish a peasant proprietary is through that plan.” To properly under- stand the importance of this change ef attitude it must be remembered that fixity of tenure was denounced everywhere a year ago as utterly’ inadmissible.—New York Herald.

An English paper remarks: ‘‘ About a month ago a paragraph went the round of the papers regarding aa elderly lady whe had gone from the parish of Birsay, Orkney, to Ameriea, to get married, after a courtship extending over 40 years. A correspondent now informs us that the marriage took place on the 7th of Septem- ber, and that on the 27th of the same month her husband died, the old lady. after her long wait and journey, being thus left a widow in a strange land in little more than a fortnight after her bridal day.”

A 8 ee -aam Moody wants new hymns. He gives the Scriptures rather than tracts to infidels. He would like! to see places of worship warm and well ventilated. Prayers, he says, should be short. He knows of a bunch of grapes sent around among sick people from one to the other, and ail the sick people were blessed. Advertising, es- pecially in regard to church notices, does, in Moody’s opinion, more good than harm. Fault-finding, he believes, is a nuisance in the chureh. He says, ‘‘Have no festivals. There is no gambling at prayer meetings.” -<7-—P -

The Jews are angered, according to the ‘* Hebrew Advocate,’ becuuse the Rev. Dr. Furness in one of their synagogues told them that Jerusalem was sacred be- cause Christ died there. As this is the second time Dr. Furness has been thus in- discreet it is not probable that the Jews will give him another opportunity.

The Advertiser correspondent at Mon- tague gives the following ;account of the exports for the season just ending: Oats, 12,522 bushels ; potatoes, {83,351 bushels ; turnips, 6,484 bushels, besides the vast quantities of produce being lately taken to Aitken’s wharf, Lower Montague, for ship- ment.

Dr. Legge says that at jthe present rate of conversion there will be inji913, 26,000. - 000 church members and 100,000,000 professing Christians in the Chinese Em- pire.
