But, as we pointed out on Saturday, the

temperance question is not up for this election. If the Hon. Mr. Haviland’s friends desire his assistance in the pro-

motion of the Scott Act, they should not bring him forward again until the Szott Act can again be dealt with in this city.

On the whole, we incline to the opinion that the deem a

| Written in N. H. for The Examiner.

The Island Weodsman.

Upon « dreary winter's eve,

| Thro’ mountains here alone I walk; A lumbering camp behind IL leave,

| With all its noisy, vulgar talk :

| For there they had no work for me,

| Su thus from camp to camp I roam,

| ‘fy search for work and think of thee,

My childhood’s mild old Island home.

And many an Islander like me

Works in the lumbering wildwoods far ; lo shoulder axes roused are we,

Ere dawn bedims the mourning star.

At night, lke oxen, we will seem

On boughs of sprace, with searcely room fo lay our weary bones and dream

Of many a mild old Island home.

On twenty-one times every week

Black tea and pork and beans we work,

Lf, tired of pork snd beans, we speak, Theo they will give us beans and pork.

So swings the sounding echoed axe; Goliath trees do tumbling groan,

Mongst bild-headed mountains and rocks, Far from a mild old Islind home

Fauli m any a day of weary toil,

Full many a night of hardship, to»,

Since first 1 left my mother’s smile,

When, changed to tears, she bade adieu. That hand that grasped me warm farewell, None tells if folded in the tomb :

Chat tearful glance, none will me tell,

It borne from my old Island home.

How all my clothes she used to watch |

\nd they were washed to me unknewn :

But now myself must gawky patch

And now myself must wash my own—

Stop, woodsman, thy complaining rhyme;

There's rest for thee yet in the tomb;

Chere’s friendship and there‘s love sub- lime

All in the higher heavenly home.

The newspaper millenium, as predicted after Richard Manstield’s general order to his agent to atop the use of lithographs, has been unavoidab!y post puned.

Frederick Douglas, the eloquent colored orator, recently secured a place as clerk in the United States Agricultural Department for the daughter of his old master in the days of slavery. The lady was brought up in extreme luxury, but has for ten years experienced great privations; and when the case was presented to Secretary Rusk he appreciated the pathetic aspect.

The London Times begins the new year with a political forecast which is, on the whole, favorable to the coalition now in of- fice. It concedes that the bye-elections have shown considerable fluctuation, which taken altogether might be calculated to excite some distrust in the result of the pitched battle’ But,onthe other hand, the position of the Government has been strengthened by the success of its home and foreign policy, and the Unionist cause has gained not a little by the course of events in Ireland. | Notwithstanding the

losses that it bas sustained, the Conserva- tive party is guided by men of rare ability and firmness of character. In the

House of Commons it is well led by Messrs. Balfour and Cheater both elements of the coalition, while in the Upper House Lord Salisbury is backed by the Duke of Devonshire. Not only in foreign affaire (which have been administered with judg- ment and patriotic foresight), but in the De- partment of Finance (which did credit to Mr. Gosehen), in the revival of industries in Ire- land, in certain much-needed legislation on educational and other social questions, the Government has made headway, and that it has the confidence of thinking mn, of all who are not deceived by sophistry meant to catch porant voters, was the conclusion at which e Times arrived.
