| Deceased Wife's Sister.

‘The fo lowing is the full text of the pe- tition presented by tte Bishop of Ontario to the House of Commons, against the Bill

' } { | legalizing marriage with a deceased wife's

i which was saved from the six months

{hoist by a large majority :-—

i T'o the Hionorauble the House of Commons of the Dominion of Canada, in Parliament assembled :

The petition of the Bishop ef Ontario humbly showeth :—That your petitioner has heard with surprise and alarm thata bill has been intreduced into your hoenorablé House to legalize marriage with the sister ef a deceased wife, and also to legalize the marriage of a woman with the brother of her deceased husband, that your petitioner prays that the said bill be not passed, for the following reasons :—

Ist. That there has been no demand for or petitiens in faver of such a Bill, and that its enactinent is: promoted by those who, Laving broken the law, wish for in- demnity.

2nd. That the Church of England in Provincial Syned assembled, in the year 1877, solemnly re-enacted the table fof affinity which forbids such marriages, and that the Syned was composed of the Bishops and representative clergy and laity from the Provinces ef Ontario, Quebec, New Branswick and Nova Scotia.

3rd. That Holy Scripture plainly forbids such marriages. In Lev. 18, 16, and 20 and 21, a man is forbidden to marry his brother’s wife, and by parity of reasoning aman may not marry his wife’s sister un- less it be argued that the Tenth Command- ment does not forbid a woman te covet her neighbor's husband because such prohibition is not stated in sv many words.

4th. That by the law of Christ a man and his wife become ‘‘ one flesh,” and that therefore the churches for 1,40) years after Christ held that a man’s wife's sister be- comes his own sister.

Sch. That the infringement of the table of aftinity in the case of marriage with a de ceased wife’s sister must inevitably lead to the abolition of the whele code, so that a man may marry his wife's mother or his wife 3 danzhter.

of the prohibited” degrees,‘ wherein whio- soever are related are forbidden in Scrip- ture «nd our Jaws to marry together,” leads to lexity of morals and frequently of di- voree, and that if a man may marry his de- ceased wife’s sister he may marry his di- vorced wife's sister.

"th. That the proposed bill for the abo- litior. of aunts and sisters-in-law will wholly revolutionize domestic life, and introduce jealousies inte families now happily free frow them.

8:1. That there is no force whatever in the urgument that the sister of a deceased | wife ig the best and ratural guardian of her ineplhews and nieces. She may be go in the capacity of an aunt, but by no means neces- sarily as a stepmother.

9th. That these great departments of Christianity, the Church of Rome, the Church of England and the Church of Sco'land are wholly opposed to the princi- ple of the proposed Bill. It is true that the Church of Reme grants dispensations, but -the fact of dispensation is is a witness against the lawfulness of the marriages in question. Moreover, the first dispensation was given A. D. 1500, by Pope Alexander, sixth Borgia, to the Kirg of Portugal. For the aforesaid reasons your petitioner humbly unplores your hor orable House to postpone action regard- ing the proposed bill, and allow the various religions bodies of the Dominion an oppor- tunity of expressing their convictions. And yor r petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever pray. J. T. ONTARIO.

The organiza- tion has a ferm of initiation, degrees, barges, scarfs and all the symbols of secret society. The person who desires to become a member takes a solemn vew to abitain entirely from fish, flesh and fow], lfrem spirituous and malt liquors, from isn aff and tebaceo. When this promise has ‘been taken and a solemn pledge of secrecy i given, the candidate is ushered into the warden,” which is the Danielite name for The head of. each garden is called ths chief gardner.

To the Editor of the Hraminer.

Sir,--With all due respect for Grammar, we must admit that in language as in other thinus, there are ‘‘gracea beyond the reach of Art,” difficulties which cannot easily be explained : for instance, ‘‘shall’’ aud ‘‘ will” exchange mesuings, Varying according to their junction with the first or the second person. ‘J shall, and you will” imply that the aetion is caused or ever-ruled by some other agent han for you. ‘*} will and you shall,” imply hat I am the canse or over-ruler of the aetion and you. The word ‘*will” is here y auxiliary, and notin the sense of the Latin “volo,” or the French * youloir. ‘*Should” may be auxiliary,” and may also be used as ‘‘debeo” or ‘‘devoir.” Few foreigners can understand the distinction. Compound words have often changed their meanings for tametrically opposite meanings ; the word ‘‘prevent”’ instance means ‘‘hindrance,” in. common language, but ‘‘assistance’’ in our prayer book. ‘‘ After” may mean ‘‘ subsequently,” ov ‘‘ according to,” as in eur prayer book: and the difference is great indeed there. ‘’ Passion” may mean rage, or suffering, just accordingto where it may beused. ‘The French ‘‘Eveque” and the English ‘* Bishop” are branches from one root, ‘*piscopus,” In philosophical treatises, it has been found necessary to define very strictly the meaning of words, to limit them to very narren bounds. Burke, ‘‘OQn the Sublime and Bean- tiful,’ separates Vleasure from Delight. Uvedale Price separates the Picturesque from the Beautiful. in pictorial criticism, design and drawing sometimes mean one thing only, and sometimes two very different things, De- sign May mean grouping of figures, lights and shadows; it may also mean drawing; but the word drawing can only mean the outline and form of each separate figure er object. De- sign may have yeta third meaning, apart from drawing and grouping; namely, the effect to be produced upon the mind. by the artist, whether in painting, music, sculpture, er landscape gardening. Wilkie’s painting of ‘*The Village Festival,” exemplifies the three different meanings of the word “design.” It is excellent in its effect en the mind of the spectator, and in the drawing of each separate figure; but it is very de- fective and faulty in the grouping of its figures and masses. It does not ferm a pleasing whole of light, shade and colour. Nhe groups are detached trom, and quite in- dependent of, exch other. The buildings are beyond proportisu large ; and the entire per- formance is without any leading tone or key- note of colowr, in which it is required quite as much asin music. Seonnds and Ideas should be associated. ‘Take the Greek word ‘*Tha- iasses,” aptly imitating the advance and his- sing recoil of the sea upon a shingly beach ; or the ‘‘ Brekekex, Koiix, Koix’ ef Aristo- phanes in the Prog Chorus; or the ‘‘ Titititi- timpro pepopoi” of his singing Birds ; or the Latin ‘* Raucus,” at once the name and the hoarseness of the Raven; or ‘‘Crex,” the name and the note of the Landrail. ‘Take the iinglish or Saxon words, ‘ bang, crash, slap, thump, ’ and many ethers. Bat we must not transpose such associations from one language ve another. In French the name eof ‘‘ Leonard de Pourceatgnac ’ sounds well to English in the land of Moliére, it sounds much the same as ‘‘ Julius Cwaar Hogsilesh ” would sound tous. There is an analogy, or paralielism, between the barbarous Provincial idioms of different Languages. The aspect and formation of countrics, mountainous, gently indulating, or flat, and haif drowned, like Holland er Linoolushire, seem to have much todo withthis. Thenative Swiss peasant, and the Welsh, alike substitate F for V, © for G, and T for D, and both use a curtailed er clipping. prenunciation. The Spanish-Freach of Languedoc, is analogous to the Lowland Scottish dialect of Sdimburgh,and tothe broad aceents ef Somersetand Devon. Inthe palmy days of old Reme, Provincials put Bfor V, as inthe ancieat pun, ‘‘Yelices quibus vivere est bibere,”—and CH fer 9, chommoda for quomedo. The analogies of idiomatic corrup- tion point to the common origin of all lan- guayes. I knew not whether these specula- tive matters may interest you and your read- ers. What I have said in this letter is a com- pressed abbreviation of a much longer article, ineluding examples and illustrations, which, I think, might be interesting if in the hands of an accomplished lecturer and reciter, like Dr. Lauchlin Taylor. I willlend it to you, if you would like to sse it. JI know that brevity is essential te anything intended for the columns of a newspaper, therefore, to conclude appropriately with a pentatmeter, “Si Brevitas placeat, hoc breve carmen habe!”

Srr,—Permit me, through your columns, to call the attention of the public to the ‘Church of Christ,” which was established on this Island some fifty years ago, which faet is kuown by comparatively few, except those who are members. Their meetings are adver tised by yeu in your Church Directery eolumn each Saturday, known as the ‘‘disciples of Christ.” Permit me, Sir, to state here their ebject ; viz., the union cf the people of God on Bible Principles. Their motte, where the Bible speaks, they speak ; where the Bible is silent, they are sileut on all matters concern- ing religien. “They are now holding protract- ed meetings in their new mecting fouse, Mal- pequs Road. The public are cordially invited to attend. ‘‘Come,” as saith the Prophet, ‘* and let us reason tegether.”’.

AN IMPORTANT CASE IN THE VIEW — THE MORTGAGER's PROTECTED.

COURT OF RE- INTBRESTS

(From the Montreal Witness.)

The question involved in the case of Ross vs. Smith and Cantin, opposants, is of im- portance not only to those interested in shipping, but those having transactions with ships. The Court of Review last year deciced that a creditor of aship, other than the registered mortgagee, could bring the ship to sale subject te the mortgage. This is net in accordance with the English law, which is that by which the Merchant Ship- ping Act has to be interpreted. Recently in the Superior Court before Mr. Justice Sicotte the czse was tried of a grocer who sold provisions to a vessel registered under the Merchant Shipping Act who advertised the ship fur sale under execution obtained for his debt. Mr. Cantin, whe had a mort- gage of $10,000 on the vessel, seized and filed an opposition, alleging that the ship could not be sold by the judgment creditor, as to do such would be contrary to his rights. The pretensions were maintained and the seizure dismissed. Shortly after the plaintiff in this case who had sold articles te the ship, repaired her rigging, &e., also tried to bring her to eale, and was alike unsuccessful in the Superior Court before Myr. Justice Jette. Plaintiff then inscribed the case for review, thereby going before the same Court which had decided that the vessel could be brought to sale, but subject to the mortgage. The Court of Review, by judgment rendered on the 28th of last month, eonfirmed the judgment of Mr. Justice Jette, re-aflirm:ng the principle laid down by Mr. Justice Sicette, and thereby reversed the doctrine laid down by the same Court to which we have above alluded. It has been long re- cognized as the rule in England that a judgment creditur has_not the right to seize and bring to sale a ship which is mortgaged without the consent of the mort- gagee, and Mr, Cantin cited instances in which the arguments brought in the Superier Court and Court of Review had

been held goud by English courts. This is of the utinost importance, as very few ships are bmlt without money

being borrowed upon them, and with a moveable security of that nature, it is apparent that every possible guarantee should be given for the stability of the security of those who lend meney on the mortgage. Special powers are given by the Merchant Shipping Act to the mortgagee to effect the sale of the vessel himself and persona selling to steamers in Canada, re- gistered under the Merchant Shipping Act, can always ascertain at the Custom House if there is avy mortgage upon the vessel, so thst any transactions would -be with a knowledge of the facts. Mr. Cantin, the successful opposant, was represented by Mr. McCord im each case. thin de dentlaiea

‘*‘Ketchwayo.”

In arecenutly published British biue-book is inserted the following message, said to have been sent spontaneously by the ex-King of Zulue to the Queen :—‘‘ Ketchwayo begs permission to send his humble respects; he 1s staying here awaiting the Queen's pleasure, and will cheeriully go wherever the Queen di- rects, At the same time he is living in hopes that at seme fnture time he will be pardered, He feels greatly honored that his portrait is going to the Queen, whom he has always loek- ed up to as his ‘‘mother,” This is certainly more loys! thar complimentary, but is sub- missive enough. Lather the supervision to which le has been subjected has tame his proud spirit, or else he has learned to be dip- lomatic as well as polite from intercourse with his capters. We would like to know whether, in’ hoping for parden, he merely means liberty and, perhaps, restoration, or thereby confesses that he was in the wrong, and that his former foes were in the right.

Fhe immense sale and great popularity of Green’s August Flower in all towns and vil- lages im the civilized world has caused many innitators to adopt similar names, expecting te reap a harvest for themselves at the expense of the afflicted. This medicine was introdue- ed in 1868, and for the eure of Dyspepsie and Liver Complaint, with their effecta, such as Sour Stomach, Sickheadache, Indigestion, Palpitation of the Heart, vertigo, etc., etc., it never has failed to our knowledge.
