sentiment of a flag as it is wife and chil- dren and home, that turns enthusiasm into afary. The world has such men by the million, and the homuaneuli that infest all our communities must not hinder women from appreciating the glory of true man- hood.

I was reading of a bridal reception The young mn had brought home the choice of his heart, in her elaborate and

exquisite apparel. As she stood in the gay drawing room, and amid the gay group, the young man’s eyes filled with

tears of joy as he thought she was his. Years passed by, and they stood at the same parlor on another festival occasion, She wore the same dress, for business had aot opened as brightly to the young hva- band as he expected, and he had never been able to purchase for her another dress. Her face was not as bright and smooth as it

had been years before, and a careworn look ;

had inade its signature on her countenance As the husband looked at her he saw the difference between this occasion and the former, and he went over where she sat, and said: ‘‘ You remember the time when we were here before. You have the same dress op. Circumstances have somewhat changed, but you look to me far more beautiful than you did then.” There is such a thing as conjugal ‘idelity, and many of you know it in your own homes.

But, after all the good advice we may give you, we come back to the golden pillar from which we started, the tremendous truth that no one but God can guide you in safety about this matter, that may decide your happiness for two worlds, this and the next. So, my sister, I put your case where Naomi put that of Ruth and Orpah when she said: ‘‘The Lord grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband ”

I imagine the hour for which yon pledged your troth has arrived. There is much merrymaking among your young friends, but there ig an undertone of sadness in all the house. Your choica may have been the gladdest and the best, and the joy of the whole ind of relatives, but when a young caglet is about to leave the old nest

and i3 preparing to pat cut into sunshine and storm for iteelf, it feels its wings tremble somewhat. So che has a gocd ery before leaving home, and at the marriave father and mother always cry, or feel like it. [€ you think it is esy to give upa daughter in marriage, thouzh it be with brightest prospects, you will think differ- ently wi 1@ day comes. To have all

{her from infancy to girlhood, and fzom hood to womanhood, studious of her welfare, her slightest illness an anxiety, aud her presence in your home an ever increasing joy, and then have her to go awsy tosome other home—ay>, all the redolencs of orange blossoms, and all the chime of marriage bells, and all the rolling of wedding march in full diapason, and all the hilarious congratulations of your friends cannot make you forget that rou are suffer- ing @ loss irreparable. Bat you know it is all right, and you have a remembrance of an embarkation just like it twenty-five or thirty years ago, in which you were ono of the parties, and, suppressing as fas as pos sible your sadness, you say ‘‘Good-bye.”

I hops that you, the departing daughter, will not forget to write often homa; fer whatever betide you, the old folk’ will never lose their interest in| your welfare. Make visits to them aleo, a¢ often and stay as long as you can, for there will be changes at the old place after a while. Every time you go, you will find more gray hairs on father's head, and more wrinkles oa mother’s brow, and, aftera while, you will notice that the clastic step has become de- crepitude. And some day one of the two pillars of your early home will fall, and it will be a com ‘ort to yourself if, when they are gone, you can feel that while your are faithful to your new home, you never for- got your old home, and the first friends you ever had,andthose to whom you more are in- deeted than you erer cin be to anyone else, except to God—I mean your father and mother. Alexander Pope put it in eXective rhythm, when he said :

along wat

** Me, let the tender offize long engage lo rock the cradle of reposieg age; With lenient arts extend a mother’s breath,

Make languer smile and smooth the bed of death;

Explore the thought, explain th» asking eye,

And | ep a vhile ene parent from the sky.”

And now I commend all this precious and splendid young womanhood before me to-day, to the God ‘‘who satteth the soli- tary in families.”

—We publish to-day another sermon of T. DeWitt Talmage,on the interesting subject of marriage. Civilized society is built upon the homes of the people; and the homes of the people are livhted by the matches which the young folks make, The subject is therefore one of the most important that can engage attention. It i3 treated of in Talmage’s popular style ; and the sermon will no doubt be read by all the young women and all the young men.

—As a resu!t of representations made to the Postmaster-General, there is again a special train to connect with the Northern Light. While it is unfor- tupate that the blunder was committed, It is pleasing to have it corrected. We admire economy, and think that every expense that can be saved without detriment to the public serviee should be saved. But the economy which stops special trains which are needed for the

The Detroit fishermen have petitioned Congress not to revew the Fishery | Articles of the Treaty of Washington.

— The Government have issued a blue | book entitled the “Queen vs. Riel.” It contains a verbatim report of the evi- dence given at the trial in Regina, the speeches of the prisoners aud judges’ sentence. The exhibit filed against tlre prisoner, containing many damaging statements, is all given, as also are the decisions of the Manitoba judges, the appeal to the privy council, the petition | for the medical commission, and the list of petitions for commutation of the sentence. There were 63 petitions pre- sented to the Governor General, thirteen of which were for the appointment of a medical commission and the remainder for commutation. Of these latter fifty- four were from Quebec, three from Manitoba one from Oitawa and one from Essex county.

— ‘‘Listener’s ” criticism of the Con- cert in aid of the smallpox sufferers, published in the Patriot last evening, shows a great want of charity and refine ment of feeling. It is evident the writer was notin sympathy with the movement, and attended the Concert to find fault and give vent anonymously to some petty spleen against those who took part in it. lt is gratifying to learn, however, that * Listener” does not echo public opinion, which seems upavimous in expressing eulogiums on the pieces so siightingly referred to. We protest against * Lis- tener’s”’ style of criticism of amateur performers, who are often unwiilingly pressed isto the service to help on a charitable object. If this peuny-a-liner style of criticism is allowed to run ram pant, amateur wil! not care tu place themselves in a position to be slurred at by critics who profess to a greater knowledge of music than they actuaily possess.

Mr. Eprrorn,—-When Mr. Hackett was down to the Island last sammer, he asked me my opinion about the ice boats. I said

io him | thought the Government would require to 5uild eight new boats with four of our old ones, which are pretty good

Yhe Government heve built six ; so they willonly have tea in ail. I cannot see how the services is to be anything like succefs- fully conducted with less than twelve boats. There are alot more old ones, but not fit to go on the Gulf in the mail service.

| also recommended three boats crossing. For this reason: that an ordinary mail occupied two, and there was no accommo- dation for passengers. All the regular boats often get on one side or the other; ihen it is necessary to have an extra set of boats and crews on each side, so that croas- ing may be made both ways the same day.

The men should be comfortably lodged and well boarded in the boathouses. Their night’s comfortable rest, after a hard day’s crossing, is everything to them for the next day.

Mr. Lord thinks they might have done without building any more new buvats at all this year. It is my opinion the service will require two more new boats, besides ail the old ones that are availahie.

Artucr Invina. Cape Traverse, Jan. 22, 1886. A “Listener” at Fault.

Sir,—Last evening there appeared in the Patriot a letter signed ‘ Listener,” which [ respectfully invite musical people to read, it is pot only vul.ar, but shows a vast amount of ignorance on musical matters in general. A tailed monkey would have a better idea of how music should be ren- dered. I must heartily thank the editor of the Patriot for his well-timed remarks. If those kind of scribblers are allowed to pur- sve their vicious calling,and write what they very well know is untrue, how can I expect in the future te get our amateurs to conseut to assist me at Concer's. I want to teil those musical cranks that it is of no use in them trying to force off those miserable effusions any longer. Twenty years ago the ymight possibly have been received, but now ** Listener's” opinions of ‘music are ab- solete.

When we consider that Miss Knizht travelled fifty miles by train on Wednes- day, sang two and a half hours at a concert in Souris, got very little rest that night, from the fact of having to risa early to meet the train for home—is it any wonder that ‘‘Listener” was a little disappointed ? As for Mr. Frank Beer, show me ths young man in this city that would have sung the part allotted to him any better than he did. As regards myself, I have never attempted to ape any gocd singers, nor have I from ten to a dozen different kinds of voices or musical howls. I sang on Thursday evening to pleaso Mrs. New- bery and the audience, and am very sorry I did not please the Patriot’s prejudiced and jealous minded correspondent. Is it not strange that Miss Knight, Miss Earle, Mr. Beer and myself are singled out as a target for ‘‘Listener” to force his venom on ? Oh! we, as well as others, see the drift. I van excuse the writer, ‘*Listener,” beczuse, perhaps, it was diffienlt to form a judgment from a seat at the beck of the Hall. Come, for once, ‘‘List- ener,” in time—should ano her oppor tunity cccur—get a good seat, where you may be able to hear the music to better advantage, at the same time lay aside your petty jevous‘es and prejudices, and then, perhaps, if your ears get toned upin the meantime, you may in the future (should you again presume to write for the press) be more charitable in your remarks. Space will not allow me to criticise ‘*Listener’s” remarks, they are so absurd; but permit me to take one as an ex «mple.

Pride and ignorance is an awful thing. In conclusion, to work hard for some days as I have done gratuitovsly, to assist Mrs. Newbery in. making the concert a success, and then get insulted for my pains is really too bad.

S. N. Ear.e.

Thej Last Concert and Market Hal’.

Srm,—-The Concert of Thursday evening, in aid of the sufferers from smallpox, was a decided success, aud Mrs Newbery is to be congratulated on the results of her cheri- table efforts. The vocal portion of the per- formance was a thorough treat. All of the songs were well sung, and it was pleasant to notice the different effect and timbre of the various voices. The duet from Pina- fore was particularly good, the voices bal- ancing each other beautifully. The anu- dience were delighted to hear Herr Hermans again after so long a silence,and it is thoroughly to be hoped that he will, dur. ing the winter, sing for us many of the ‘old, old songs he sang so long ago,” for his voice seems to be as rich and powerful asever. The instrumental part of the pro- gramme was very well performed, the Military Bond playing in excellent style, but we strongly object to the system of introducing this powerful military music into the programmes of our evening indoor Concerts.

The cornet solo was well rendered, and in Mr. Galbraith we have avery fine addi- tion to the instrumentalists for our future Concerts. a

Master Fred. Morris, in his piano solo, was certainly the favorite of the evening, and it was surprising to notico the taste with which he played, and deligbtful to listen to his clear execution. Master Fred. must be noted down as an item to draw for our future programmes. It was grand to listen to Profeesor Caven in his powerful bass solo, ‘‘Oh, Oh, the Wild Wind Blows,” and we doubt if there isany other city in Canada of the siza of Charlottetown that can boast of two such basses as Professor Caven and Herr Hermans, and such an array of rich soprano voices as those which ve had the pleasure of hearing Thursday evening,

The concert was good, and the audience pleased in spite of aching backs and cold feet in the dreary looking concern that is known in Charlottetown as a concert hal).

How, in the name of fortune, five hun- dred people, the majority of whom possess intelligence and whose artistic aspirations are far enough advanced from the old mvas clinked-log house interiors of the past, to know the valne of a little decoration on the walis of their homes, can year after year endure to listen to concerts in such a miser- able barn eas the Market Hall, I cannot imagine! After sitting for a couple of hours in this dirty and dismal place I said to myself this is where the aristo- cracy assemble in the evenings to hear music and the eountry women in the morn- ings to sell butter and smeits, surely it is not strange that a loathsome epidemic has swept through such a city. Fifty per cent of the value of al! ths music performed in this butcher below, butter above establish- ment, is generally swallowed up in th

ungraceful folds of a hideously ugly col- lection of bright biue and dirty red flags} of all nations, which are usually employed

as a means of effective decoration. ‘* Pri- wary colors, good heavens, South Ken- sington,” as the fair damsels exclaim in the opscetta of p.ticnce.

During the last few yeare musical taste has very mach advanced in Charlottetown, and isvlated as we now are from the rest of the Continent, we should specially develop this beautifal branch of art which is capablo of yielding so much ennobling pleasure to its votaries, and while the musicians are msking successful efforts at improvement, it is a disyrace to the citizens that there is n> proper hallin the town for rendering music in.

At present the population of the town ssems to be divided into two portions, One desirous of improvement in art, in literature, in cleanliness and in business habits. The other, an uswashed, lazy, talkative old-womanish race, that seems always well represented at our City Council

Board. Gentlemen take take how you vote at the Civic :Elections. This little city

might be a delightful place to live in, and may be made one of the beautiful one’s of Canada if you choose to have it so. ,*,
