we would inform them that we have now increased facilities for the production of first-cluss work, and are prepared to make ProrocrapHs of a Slyle and (ualily that has never been before allempled in this City:

We have on exhibition, at our Rvoms, a iarge number of Photograps «f every variety, including the

~

come so here. Though the finish of our Photographs | cannot be excelled, we would direct alter-| tion to the Deaulitul Glace’ Pictures | which we make. They possess a highly epamelied surface, and are practically indes- tructible, und will retain their freshness and beaaty for any length of time. If they necome sviled they can easily be cleaned, bs they will not lose any of their beauty by aeing wet. ‘This vaiuadle quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons can have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtain. d élsewhere. We give special attention to making Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of ouc success in this difficult nch of our art. woe *NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a tavorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

| Winter Navigation.

Tux Toronto Mail has the following sum- merary of Mr. Pope’s speech on the Winter Navigation of the St. Lawrence :-—

‘Mr, POPE (P. E. L.) said of all the non- sense in the way of visionary schemes he had | ever heard, that was the most impracticable. | Any steamer that could be built could. only {make one trip a mouth, and what would. be ithe practical result of that? The amountof extra insurance which would have to be paid would more than cover all the freight on the

proper and available winter port. Northern Light, the information of the hon. gentleman was not correct, as_ the thickest ice

five inches thick, The vessel was a very ex

pensive plaything, and there was no wonder at people commenting on a boat which cost $60,- | 000, when they saw that it was necessary for the managers of the boat to use a horse saw to cut a way for her through the ice. He thought the Government should turn their attention to some better way of giving winter communica- jtion, He considered that no good would re- salt from the scheme of winter navigation of

cargoes going to Halifax, where they had a | As to the |

Messrs. Reclus, Sosa, Lacharme and Pouydesseau, of the Darien Exploring Ex- pedition, returned to Panama from the in- terior of the Darien on the 24th ult.

The International Pedestrian | Contest.

} Lonpon, March 22.—The pedestrian con- | {test has now hecome virtually a match be- | jtween O'Leary and Veughait; fil the other | competitors being hopelessly behind. Brown appears certain of third place,but is exceed- ingly sleepy. The two leaders maintain a remarkable steady average of about four miles an hour. O'Leary walks on a track containing eight laps to the mile, while Vaughan’s track contains seven laps to the mile. O'Leary walks exclausiveiy, and Vaughan trots occasionally and by — this | means has twice managed to slightly reduce O'Leary's lead. This advantage was, how- ever, both tiines regained. Thus, at seven y’olock this evening, the score stood: O’Leary 4333; Vaughan 426; by nine o’clock O'Leary had walked 446} and Vaughan 433 miles. Atmidnight O'Leary and Vanghan were hoth resting. O’Leary had _ scored 457, Vaughan 441, and Brown 4154. Vaughan looks fresher than O’Leary, but his feet were very sore and are swathed in cotten wool. Ue also suffered somewhat in the knee, but less than O’Léary. Victory scems now almost assured toO’Leary. The great hope of Vaughan’s supporters was that he might be able to continue on tke track on Friday night, after O'Leary, and reduce the lead by 2 half, and thus be able to start. again in the small heurs of Saturday with only six miles to make. up. . The hope was fostered by Vaughan’s fresh appearance and plucky spirits during ihe afternoon, when he, for a short time, managed, by dint of running, to keep lap for lap with O'Leary, although his (Vaughan’s) laps were longer, but by midnight these hopes were dissipa- ted, as the score shows.

The Red Man’s War upon Canada.

WinsipxG, March 21.—A_ special from Beauteford says that great excitement ex- ists over the report that Sitting Bull has formed a confederacy with the Sioux and Blackfeet for a raid on settlements. A friendly Cree overheard Sitting Bull’s pro- position to the Council to consider it. The | Crees held a meeting in Bauteford and de- clared their loyalty to the Queen. A camp of 700 lodges of Sioux is pitched at Sandy Hill, 65 miles from Fort Walsh,and is daily increasing. Four wagon loads of cartridges arrived at the camp. The half breeds are leaving the Cypress Hills and. moving to- | wards Carleton. The man who brings in | the news saySit is reported that the Nez Perces and Blackfeet have formed a treat with Sitting Bull and that the Blackfeet | are on the Pelly River in ferce. Attacks | on Cypress Hill and Fort McLeod are fear- ed. Big Rear, a Cree Chief, says the Goy- ernment cannot rule the Indians while they impose a fine on them for killing the buf- falo.

Orrawa, March 22.—The Secretary of | State has received information that the In- dian scare was got up by half-breeds because the Mounted Police prohibited thé killing of buffalo for hides. Scott said in the Senate that it was not probable that there was any foundation for ths scare. The Blackfeet were satisfied with the treaty Laird made with them, and were not likely te unite with the Sioux whom they would gladly drive from Cauadian soil,

Where Religion Failed in the Hour of Need.

( New Bedford, Mass., Mercury. ) At night old Gumbo was accustomed to re- tire to his lonely cabin to light his tallow can- | die and pour over a dog-eared, dilapidated ! inter- ‘als pause and devoutly exclaim, with tearful, yp-raised eyes: “Oh! cum, de good angel ob! de Lor’ an’ take poor Gumbo home -to rest.” | It happened of a dark mght, while by the light | of his tallow dip he was intently studying his | bible, there came three solemn-measured raps | upon the cain door. Gumbo heard and. grew | pale with fear, and immediately, with a spas- | modic jerk, blew out the light, and demanded to know: ‘‘Who am dot are knockin’ at dis} are door?’ when a dismal, sepulehral voice ; answered: ‘‘The good angel of the Lord has come to take poor Gumbo up to rest.” When | tremblingly, with superstitious fear, believing that the good angel of the Lord was really, standing at. the door, he answers: - kno's dat niggah Gumbo, but dat ar niggah don’t lib | heah ! Why, dat ar Gumbo has jes dun gone ded dese fo’ yeas! Yes, he am! jos gone dod

She has since lived in Hermon with her brother, Joseph Merri- man, who doesa good deal of trading in this city. Three years ago this fall she took it into her head to see the country, and started out with neither scrip nor staff, but a good pair of thick shoes. She walked across the country, braving all kinds of weather, and finally brought up in Clinton, fowa, when she took the back track and returned to this city. Two years ago she decided to start out again, and this time selected a _ longer tour. She walked through portions of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetis, New York, Pennsylvania and on to Wash-

ington, where she remained a few days, and.

‘did the capital,’ and then made a belt for Savannah. Go, . . time. Then on.she went again, doing the States.of Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa, In

Excellence is the reward of labor.

From the lowest depth there is a path to the loftiest height

Idleness is emptiness ; the tree in which sap is stagnant remains fruitless.

Prefer loss before unjust gain, for that .

brings gain bunt once, this forever.

Manners require time, as nothing is more vulgar than haste,

it is not theability tobe idle, but the ability to work, that constitutes happiness.

Gray hairs seem like the light of soft morn, silvering over the evening of life.

Hasty people drink the wine of hie scalding hot, and are angry at the burn- ing.

The heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always firat to be touched by the thorns.

Let men laugh when you sacrifice desire to duty, if they will. You have time and eternity to rejoice in.

Authors ought to be wise, for they have to sell their wisdom ; and what is bought and sold should be genuine.

We learn to climb by keeping our eyes not on the hills behind us, but on the moun- tains that rise before us.

We have more power than will, and it is often by way of excuse to ourselves that we fancy things are impossible.

The happiness of life is so nice a thing that, like the sensitive plant, it shrinks away even when thinking of it.

Value the friendship of him who stands by you in the storm ; swarms of insects will surround you in the sunshine.

Experience gives us evenness and round- ness of character, just as the pebble is rounded by the tlowing of the stream.

The reputation of a man is like his shadow—-gigantic when it precedes him, and pigmy in its proportions when it fol- Ows.

Honor is like an island, ragged and with-

‘out a landing place ; we can never more re-

enter when we are outside of it.
