A PRICELESS GIFT.

{ Written for the Examiner.)

When man from Paradise was sent, His primal home;

And on the blasted world beneath Condemned to roam;

A priceless gift to him was given,

To his sad sou! by sorrew riven,

A guide to point the path to heaven, O’er life’s wild foam.—

A coal from ceaseless altar fires In heaven above, Was hidden in his secret heart : The sacred dove, With wings of mercy fanned the flame; All nature kindled where it came, And angels whispering, breathed its name, They called it Love. *—-e CAROL FOR CHRISTMAS.

A number of people so mighty was there,

That Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small,

Each age has deem’d the new born year The fittest time fer festal cheer ; E’en heathen yet, the savage Dane At lol more deep the mead did drain, High on the beach his galleys drew, And feasted all his pirate crew; Then in his low and pine-builtehall, Where shields and axes deck'd the wall, They gorged upon the half-dressed steer, Caroused in seas of sable beer, While round, in brutal] jests, were thrown Tke halfsgnawed rib, and marrow- bone: Or Jistened all with grim delight, . While Scalds yell’d out the joys of tight. Then forth in frenzy would they hie, While wildly loose their red locks fly, And dancing round the blazing pile They make such barbarous noise the while, As best might to the mind recall The boisterous joys of Odin’s hall. And well our Christian sires of old Loved when the year it’s course had rolled And brought blithe Christmas back again With all his hospitable train. Domestic and religious rite Gave honor to the holy night ; On Christmas-eve the bells were rung ; On Christmas-eve the mass was sung ; ‘That only night in all the year, Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear. The damsal donn’d her kertie sheen ; The hall was dress’d with holly green ; Forth to the wood merry-men go To gather in the mistie’oe. Then open’d wide the Baron's hal! To vassal, tenant, serf, and all; Power laid his rod of rule aside, And Ceremony doff’d her pride. The heir with roses on his shoes, That night might village partner choose ; The lord underogating share The vulgar game of “ post and pair.” All hail’d with uncontroll’d delight And general voice the happy night That to the cottage, as the orown, Brought tidings of salvation down. The fire, with well-dried logs supplied, Went roaring up the chimney wide, The huge hall table’s oaken face, Scrubb’d till it shone, theday to grace, Bore then upon its massive board No mark to part the squire and lord. Then was broughtin the lusty brawn By old blue-coated serving man; Then the grim boar’s-head frowned on high, Crested with bays and rosemary. Well can the green-garb’d ranger tell, How, when, and where the monster fell, What dogs before his death he tore. And all the baiting of the boar. The wassel round, in good brown bowls, Garnish’d with ribands, blithely trowls.

England was merry England, when Old Christmas brought his sports agen! "Twas Christmas broach’d the mightiest ale; ’Twas Christmas told the merriest tale ; A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man’s heart through half the year

A Devaware Jury Triat.— From Dela- ware we have a singular story about a jury. A murder case was tried last week in New- castle, the accused being acquitted. One of the jurors confessed that a verdict was reached only by exhausting the powers of endurance of the jurymen. He says that they were kept without food for fifty eight hours, and that at the end of that time four men who would have refused to concur in verdict of acquittal consented to keep still while the foreman reported that the jury were agreed, ‘That is to say, these four jurymen who had sworn to give a verdict in accordance with the law and evidence, fins ally consented to silently agree to a verdict exactly contrary to what they believed to be lawand evidence. Delaware occasion. ally sends us some curious items in criminal jurisprudence ; but it has been long time since we had from any part of the United States so pointed an ill tion of the so~ called ‘farce of jury trials’ as this curious narrative from Newcastle.— New York

A TALE OF WOMAN'S TRIALS.

CHAPTER IX —Continued.

Katharine sat silont, and apparen'ly pass sive as death; her fair white hands lay olasped upon hor kave, and there was some- thing s> sad an! desolate in her att.t ide, and the d-ep mouruing of her drees, that any beait but her aunt's would have relented. Bat she had observed with jeali.ey tha beauty of the young giri brightening every day, acd fearing its efect upon her sor, which would bo placing Kate in th po-ition which she bers*!fnow occupied as mis'rcss of the establishment at Birminshum, she steeled her heart resolutely, saying—

‘Dd off:r to speak to the tandlad, for you, only she might hold me responsible, ani now, of course, I must look to every shilling—not but that you'll beve envvg'! to keep you a goed whi's, if your's saving, out of the money those fine things will bring. And now, as it’s come to thir, if it’s any accommodation to you, | would stretch a point and buy them of you myse!f; they weu'd just suitdane when sha marries, and I should like to do you a good turs teo—l wouldn’t like to give yon tena pounds for them!’

Cunning Mrs. Grove! her extempore pict was admirably laid. ‘The things,’ as ske called them, were well worth fifty pounds, and if Kate wes ignerant ofthis, and, shrinks ing from the task of seeking s purchaser in the u known world of London, took ber offer, she would secure atich priz2; if not, and the poor girl declincd, she bad a ready exeuss for no longer interfering between her and dest tution. ‘ She nid done a'l she couli, and could not ba expected to run the risk of having her kindness refused again.

Either way she thought she did wieely. But the craft and th: pht were wholly thrown away upon Kate. She suspected neither, and therefore answered simply,

‘You are very good, aunt, but I hopel shall vot be ebliged to sell eveiything. A very little will suffice for me, enti! Ll can do somethin, for myself.’

‘Very well, I ain’t going to force my offer on you. I ehou'do’t have thought of making it, I can tell you, if it hado’t been for (ld kindness’ enke, but you know your ows affaiis beet I dont doubt.#1 might have thought as you’d never soil such smart things as them cow, whatever you may be gixd todo by and by.’

‘Tadeced, auct, I have n> other meins of living but by their sa‘e, uctil I can get some

She wes going to say, ‘Unless Euward refunds core of the movey which my uncie regretted to have taken from me,’ butthe words would bave seemd like a reproach to the memory of one she had heartily for- given, ard she checked them, even upon her lips. Her silence was, as usual, misin- terpreted by Mra Grove, who, with a vulgar sneer, replie¢—

‘ Unlees what?’

* Nothing.’

‘Ob, secoid thoughts are best! Well, Katharine Nugent,’ and sbe ros: to lave the room, * I cau’t countenance such goings on. I’ve dons a mother’s part by you, and you've seen no bad example in my house, I can answer, but what's bred in the boue ain't easy got rid of, and you were bad brought up before you ever entered wy doors.

Ub, dear reader ! shuddering, us you well may do, at the hateful portrait, pause bes fore youc ndemn it for its want of truth or | prebability, and ‘ooking well into your own | heart, see if there be none to whom you | have acted thus. Is there no bro:he’, uncle, sister, cousin, niece, whom you havo cas: | out—fiom whore prayers for help, or home, or coun‘enares, you have turned away, and whose petitions, though slighted on earth, are rezistered againat you in heaven? If there he none; if, like a faithful steward, you have so far done the best wits your Master’s amp'’e trust, denying sone who asked in His name, thank God humbly, and go on; but if there be—if, on the earth, there lives cn» human beirg, who, having the holy tie of kindred or friendship io plead» has ever cal'ed to you for aid or sympathy in vain, scek him out quickly, repair tbe wrong speedily, while life’s daylight laste, lest the night coms suddenly down, staying a!l work, and you stand together before ths Eternal bar, the positions only being re~ versed, and you bear the words, ‘ Depart from me, for I never knew you!’ and sad- der stil, * Inasmuch as you did it »nto the least of these, ye did it unto Me.’

‘Carefully, as if it had been plegue- haunted, Mrs. Grove aud her daaghter avoided, during the rewander of the day the room in which Katharine rt:!] sat. Cowardly and cruel, they dreaded to tee the poor girl they were hoartlessly deserting, and recorciling. themselves to ther conduct by raying to each other that she would be glad,of a litt'e time to Lerseif, (o sett'e what

kindnesses to make their bard lives easier to bear.

Such was the case with Kate and the poor girl who played the dificult part of eervant at the lodging-house, and to whom at vari- ous times she had been much indebted. The gitl disliked Jane and Mrs. Grove, from whom she had never received the most trifls

ing acknowledgment for ber contiaual and ready services, avd even the costiess civility of kind words; and she would at any time have siven up half her scanty rest to vex them. Ard to do this, she knew there was no more effectual way than admitting the visitor whom, abeye ail others, she bad been forbidden to introdace, and who wouid not, as sie knew fom experience, be ungrateful for the dsobedience chown his favor. According). therefore, when Mr. Du Va.'s wellykuown rap and ring, for whizh se Lad been loeg listen'’ng, sum noned the gir’, ins stead of replyiny to his ingu’ry a8 sh» had been told to de, she suid k: owingly—

‘Oh, ys, er, Miss Nagent’s at home, end down stuirs to-day for the first time. You can see her, I dare sar, only her aunt told me to te sure to say, if you come, ae she was gone away. Shall I tell ber you're here, sir, or will you g> up into the sitting-room yourself ? ’

‘Ob, Vil go up. I suppose I shali find tha Ind es in the drawisg-room ?’

‘Only Miss Nugent, sir; the others are gone uvt for for the evening.’

Although more than three hours had elapss ed, Kathar.us was sittiag nearly is tho same piace and attitude xs when her aunt left her She had thought, until the power to do so rat onslly was gone, and she eat uncorsc ous of the fl ght of time, her own abstiaction,ond even of her own misery.

Thus it was that she neither head the docr of the room in whick she sat open, nor knew that any one had entered,unt:] a shadow fal ing between her and the light made her | look up, and there, all pradence and dixyuise cast off, b's parsiovate love blazing io his eyes, siood Maurice Dua Val. Quickly, far more quickly than it had beea raised, Kate’e giauce sa k agaiu; Lut rapid and cu sc ry as it had been, it had changed her ‘ate (or life.

To tie Editor of the Icraminer. Sir -—I noticed ina Summerside paper, last week, an advertisement, desiring a |

for one of our Western District The advertisement says, ‘“‘a male

teacher Schools. teacher preferred ; one a little ordinary, so

’ That must be a genial | Of course no a

female scholars.’ clime for ‘‘ Ye pedagogues.” Adonis need apply. No doubt, when teacher makes application for the situation, he will have to undergo a rigid «xamina- | tion, physiological, and otherwise ; and if, the bump of philoprogenitiveness pre- dominates, or if he parts his hair in the middle, or wears frills on his shirt, or pre- sumes to sport lavender kids, or if he is behind a twany moustache, or quotes poetry, why he'll stand a slim chatice of being ac, cepted—those being a few of the attractions: It might be interesting to know the why and the wherefore, of this preference for | ‘‘one a little ordinary.’’ Some mischevous persons, hint that one of the Aryus staff could enlighten the world as to the true cause, he, they say, being one of the Adonis. es thatled the good people of that dis- trict to make the preference, and probab'y in that he could make a better display of his incapacity, than criticising Catholic scheol books. Will he do so, | wonder? It would be an interesting chapter, no doubt; almost so much so, as «n essay on his “jolification’ in St. John. Let him give both, and then all will know what an “ arrant knave”’ he is, that sets himself up as the champion of common schools. — hey may also know, why the people of that western district are driven to make such a choice in their teacher. Yours, Jas. GUBERNATORIAL,

Mr. Robinson has the credit at the Colonial office of hav- ing sucessfully managed ‘the admission of his Island Government to the Confederation, Circumstances had more to do with it than

could be given from government House was given. Mr. Robinson, it may be safely pre« dicted, will work his way gradually toa high rung on the Colonial ladder, Fiji will rank,

work and responsibility will devolve on the | Governor personally. It is not Sir Arthur Gordon’s nature to shun either one or the other, and his energy, which astonished the Trinidadians, and which languished in the Mauritius where he complained that the only work open to him was the draining of Port St. Louis, will find ample scope in Fiji. But in Fiji there are conflicting claims, there are diverse races, there are intricate

tion and conciliatory treatment. We shall be glad to learn in two years’ time read neither the foreign settlers nor the abo- | rigino} inhabitants have “ made their teeth

GERMANY AND ENGLAND.

After-dinner speeches, even when Mr. Disraeli is the speaker and the dinner is at | the Mansion House, do not now-a-days |

but that which | the Prime Minister lately delivered will not be soon forgotten. It cannot but be remembered that, in speaking of the ad- vantages to which Englishmen are heirs, he contrasted the English artizan’s freedom from arbitrary arrest and domiciliary visits with the liability of foreign noblemen to that treatment, No one doubted that Mr. Disraeli referred to the case of Count Von Arnim. The reference was, as a matter of taste, questionable but certainly permissi» ble. Such a comparison, however, could not be drawn without wounding the sus» ceptibilities of Germans, Ofcourse we are not obliged to connect the two things toy gether, but it is at least a remarkable co- incidence that the denunciations of Mr, Disraeli by the Berlin press were immedi-~ ately followed by a ‘ communicated’ para» graph in the Tunes, averring that the pur, port of the words used at the Lord Mayor's banquet had been certainly mistaken, and that Count Arnim’s case could not have suggested the allusion, because Count Ar- nim’s arrest had been strictly in accordance with the laws of Germany. In this the French press naturally sees the submission of England to the dictation of Bismarck. M. Lemoinne in the Deha/s avers that the Prime Minister in the Guildhall, with Gog and Magog, to back him was very plucky and independent, butthat as is oftep the case with diners ou!, things looked very differently afterwards. The occurrence, though small, is altogether unfortunate, and most people will think that Mr. Dis- raeli had better not have said that which he might be obliged to retract; and some will think that he should not have retracts ed that which he had said; butit may be doubted whether a regard for Mr, Disraeli’s reputation is equal in proportion to the preservation of good feeling between Eng- land and Germany.— Toroulo Nation

How vo Fatren Horses.— Many good | horses devour large quautities of grain and | hay, and still continue thin and poor—if | the food eaten is not properly assimilated. | If the usual feed has been unground grain | and hay, nothing buta change will effect | any desirable alteration in the appearance | of theanimal.

Recent Explorations in Newfoundiand, says the Academy, have brought to light the existance of new sources of wealth hitherto confined toa narrow belt of country ad- joining the coast, where the inhubitants plied their fishing.

The river winds considerably in its course, and forms four vast marshes, the largest of which is six miles long and studded with islands ; the scenery is of rare beauty, though the banks have a uniformely gentle slope and are rather unvarying in their aspect) On August 13 last Mr. Murray reached Gander Lake, about thirty miles up the river He considers that the land there surpasses any portion of Nova Scotia or New Brunswick in its suitability for colonization, and that it would afford plenty of room for 100,000
