Attention.

Muuirramen, and other men, throughout this Province, and indeed throughout Canada, would do well to read, and attend to the good advice given by the Rev. K. MeLennan, in the Sermon he delivered at St. James’ Church yesterday. The sermon breathes a fine manly spirit, and is full of wholesome counsel. Its style is worthy of the cultured gentleman; and the perusal of it will be found pleasing as well as profit- able. Read it in Tue Examiner.

Pror. Ricnarp A. Proctor, probably the ablest living English astronomer, in a paper in the Contemporary Review, dis- cussing and admitting the theory of the receding of the moon from the earth, says that in one hundred and fifty million years our day will be one thowsand four hundred hours long / and that the time then occupied by the moon in circulating around the earth will be about fi/ty-eight and one-third of our present days! He further says that ‘‘It is not a very pleasant future to look forward to, but comforts us with the reflection that ** fortunately it is very remote.”

ms in the Olden Time.

Goop Fripay, April 7th, was the seven- teenth anniversary of the celebrated or notorious Posse Comitatus—the greatest farce ever enacted on Prince Edward Island. The day on which the Posse left town to eapture the ‘‘straw man,” was remarkable not only for the public ebulli- tien of feeling, but for the beauty and balminess of the weather. No snow or ice was to be seen in town or country. The frost was entirely out of the ground, and the farmers on both sides of the ‘“‘line of march” were busy preparing for active farming operations. Navigation was open, vessels started that day for Pictou, and the next day the S.S. ‘‘Commerce’’ came in from Boston. The contrast between that period and to-day is marked. The ice-king —we had almost said ice-fiend—now has our rivers and harbors and the Straits in a close embrace, which he shows few percep- tible signs of soon relinquishing.

An Island Tennyson will some day give us @ stirring odo on that “Charge of the Three Hundred,” so famous in our history. We shall recall a few incidents, and per- haps they may elicit some reminiscences that may prove interesting to the readers of Tae Examiner.

The late John Morris, Esq., then Sheriff of Queen’s County, issued a mandate, peremptorily commanding those previousiy summoned to serve as a posse, to meet at an early hour on that 7th of April, in frout of his place of business at foot of Queen Street. The motley army, some on foot, some on horseback, and some on wheeled vehicles of various kinds—-met as directed. The Sheriff then ordered them for roll-callat Southport. The posse and hundreds of others assembled at Southport, and prob- ably that village has never since had so many people on its streets. Sheriff Morris called the roll; and as he jumped into his carriage ordered all to mest him at the fif- teen mile house. And now was ascene of confusion. Hundreds of throats joined in singing a Tenant League song to the tune of Dixie, and again joined in cheers for the Tenant League. Horses became frightened as the crowd surged and cheered, and 2s Mr. Charles Wright’s horse dashed through the mud and the crowd, he was launched out of the wagon. He was soon after seen making his way to the scene of operations in a dump cart, his cap and long brown coat a mass of mud. The Sheriff with all who had horses had gone ahead ; and then followed the footmen, with the Deputy Sheriff, James Curtis, Esq., in the rear, mounted on a white horse. Mr. Curtis was Napoleonic in his looks on his charger. Not asmile illuminated his countenance. He rode behind to see that there was no straggling. As for the rest, is it not written in the book of the chronicles of Prince Edward Island ?

An Ottawa despatch says: “Sir John Macdonald is ill from over work. He per- forms an enormous amount of work each day, work that would soon kill most ordin- ary men. In addition to the intricate and rs work of the North-West lands and

ndian department, he has his duties as Premier and Council meetings. Sir John is almost always in his seat in the House and invariably remains until the close of the sitting, which usually extends into the early hours of the morning. How he re- tains his health under this strain is a mys- tery to both friends and opponents.”

Guiteau’s latest craze is that the United States is infested with Nihilists, and he thinks they should be promptly expelled. To a reporter he stated he was prepared to die if it was so willed, and claimed credit for having always lived a correct and virtuous life. Scoville is about to petition Congress that the bill to pay the medical experts of the Government be amended by appending a seciion anthorizing the pay- ment of claims for legal services of counsel for the defence.

The British revenue receipts for the financial year, ended 3ist March, were £1,000 above the estimate. The most satis- factory feature is the income tax receipts, which were £405,000 above the estimate. The actual expenditures of the year, within a few thousand pounds, were £85 511,009. This amount is £705,000 more than the original estimates, that is, not counting supplementary ones.

DUTIES OF THE MILITIA.

Chureb, by Rev. K.. Mo- Lovaan, M. A.

SUMMARY REPORT, .

Tac Volunteer Force of the City and Royalty attended Divine Service in St. James’ Church yesterday, at three o’clock. The Volunteers occupied the middie double | range of seats, fronting the pulpit. The other portions of the Church were filled with a general audience. The minis er preached from the text: [. Cor., 16 chap., 13 verse, selecting specially the latter part, “Quit you like men; be strong.” Address- ing the volunteers, the minister spoke az follows :—

Crrizen So.prers, —Enrolled for the defence of your country against invasion from without or treason within,—the regulations which have in view your efficiency in this service recognize the value of religion as an element in the formation of a soldierly charact-r— your fidelity to the requirements of profes- sional duty is pledged by the sanctions of a religious oath, and the intelligence of your devotion to its performance may be inferred from the fact that you deem if not inconsis- tent with your character as Christian mén, or with the obligations of the highest justice on the part of a Christian country—in certzin circamstances—-to resort to the arbitrament of the sword. That such a course is allowable, in defence of national existeuce and {fr edom, with no element of resentment to mar ite purity, or horror to degrade our manhood, is the received opinion of Christendom.

Wars of mere conquest, in which the stroag trample upon the weak ; wars iu an unright ous cause—where pazsion has blinded the judgment, and the ends only of a national vanity or pride are to be served —find no favor with the most intelligent and Christian peo- ples of modern times, The clearer sentiment of justice. and the stronger sentiment of humanity, which, happily, have sprung up in consequence of a growing conformity to the Spirit of the Gospel, render it probable that the lust of cenquest and of revenge will hence- forward find little encouragement in Christian communities. Nevertheless, the lessens of histery agree with the common instincts of our race, in pointing to the wisdom of pro viding fer the defenca cf those advanteges which the civilization of a people has acquired for their use. To meet this necessity, the patriotism and self-denial of our citizens have been appealed to; and the character of the response which has been given may be seen in the considerable number of the youth of our country, at different seasons of the year, under arms, from one end to the other.

Your position is an honorable one, in that, what will be acknowleded to be the csm- mon duty of all who are physically qualified for such a service, has been voluntarily as- sumed by you, as for the time especially your ownt; he duty, viz, of upholding an orgaa ization, which, in the hour of need, could be readily expanded to suit the resources and exigencies cf the whole country. The sclf denial, the toil, the pecuniary loss at which you undergo your annnal drill and training, entitle you to the respect and gratitude of you fellow citizens; and sustained, as your devotion is, ir a time of comparative security, your claim to be so regarded is the greater The attractions of novelty having worn away, and the first swellings of enthusiasm having subsided, your judgment and your patrictiam now bind you to this service. Suffer a word of counsel and exhortation, as soldiers aud citizens of our common country.

c-

I. Your firat duty is to give intelligent and cheerful attention to the drill for which you are from time to time gathered together, and ready submission to the appointed ‘discipline. A proper self-respect will incline you to acquire thoroughly those individual and con certed movements which form so Jarge a pat of military training. Your efficiency in resist- ing attack, and mutual confidence and support in the field, will depend greatly upon attention to this matter. A force ill-drilled is a ferce ill-trained for actualservice, and may prove, when subjected to the test, adangerous rabble, You are selected to receive a special training to fit you to render to the State, in its hour of need, those services for which you have effered strong arms and stout hearts. The latter are the raw materials ont of which soldiers are made. Training is the skilled workwaaship which, when received, gives to that other- wise raw material its high value. The earliest pages of the history of a great civil war recently terminated among our American neighbors, show cenclusively how the lives of brave men may be thrown away when ardor and strength, lacking discipline, are fitted against well trained forces. To the acquire. ment of the proficiency expected of you in this particular, you are encouraged by the circumstance that the Government has placed in your hands, one of the most perfect wea pons of modern times. The weapon itself is an interesting study, and erxeellence in its use may well rank as a fine personal accom- plishment. The possession and the preserva- tion of physical health and vigor are needed to thisend. Youare supposed to bring to the service of your countrya scund bodily constitution, and the exercises through which you are passed, by instructors adequately trained for this, only tend to develop and per fect bodily qualities. A clear eye, a steady hand, a union of patience and promptitude, the endurance of toil and exposure—imply the preservation of health, increase of vigor, and a refinement and delicacy of the senses. There is thus secured a general physical training of no mean value, as contributing towards a more perfect self-mastery, and towards the more succe-sful performance of life’s common tasks. That these views will be strongly impressed upon you from another quarter, and with al! the authority which is given by personal experience, 1 cannot doubt. At the same time, it would not be out of place in me to state them in the interests of a large economy which would turn our resources to the best possble account,

II. Iurge you to a true self discipline, in erder to reach the highest benefits of charac-

ter avd of techui al trainizg. Your daily, constant enemies are toe be found in thoso ‘‘fleshly Juste,” which enfeeble your physical nature and

also *‘war against the soul.’ Let not appetite or passien improperly indalged, reb vou of that manhood, of which the uniform you wear is the public attestation. Let not your honorable calling be exposed to discredit by personal habits unworthy of you as men or christians. The day has long gone by, when drunkenness or profane swesring or avy ether personal fault will be readily condoned by public opinion. In your profession you repre- sent the spirit and marhood cf our people. Represent them worthily! Your military duties should help you to a self-control that will make you more useful members of society and more welcome in its circles on your return to your places as ordinary citizens There is thus « double propriety in your being couneel- led, ‘‘when sinners entice you” not to consent. The ability to resist gross temptations, is a matter, in part, of,physical training. A man

in perfect heaith, with his nerves pre perly braced, is in a condition to do and @are. ‘Che | majority cf men, most noted for «decision of | character, have posseased great constit:ti: nal | “rmnese,—not a mere exemption from di, and suffering, but a tone of marly vi

physical conditions even the timid and weak become energetic. Charge an innocent

man, with @ crime, if his physical system be unstrung, he will stammer and blush, as if guilty. Charge the

guilty with his fault, and if he has been accus- tomed to physical training--to the bracing influeuces of air and exercise---he may deny the imputation with a degree of self-possession which might be mistaken for conscious inno

eénee. These indications point to physical quite as much as to moral conditions, The vigor of thé mind decays with that of the body ; and not only the sparkling attributes of the imagination, but the firmer qualities of judyroent and will, give way in the failure of bodily vigor. To preserve unimpaired your bodily powers and cultivation is}t< faphola your manly spirit, your usefulness ana comfort in life. Mien are coming to understand that the fine mechanism of the human body claims study and culture as the organ of the soul, and appeals against the injustice which wou'd degrade it as the mere tool of servile labor, or the object of voluptuous indulgence. Only in a sound and pure body can the soul fulfil aright its mission; and this condition of things is to be aimed at by moderating the desires of our nature, its appetites and its passions. The man who would get and keep a true mastery over himself, will find that he is called toa veritable warfare with himself Than the right government of our bodily appetites and mental desires, there is no dominion which is more the result of struggle and conquest; and I am persuaded that to this very desirable end your military driil and discipline should be a valuable help, —nota hindrance, as some would say, While adverting to this point, let me remind you with what comtort, health and safety to the men, and with what entire success as to its object, a military expedition under Colonel, now Major General Wolsely, to the new Province of Manitobe, was conducted. The secret is to*be found in the fact that ardent spirits formed no part of the Commissariat. What experiment has settled, public opiaion does fully endorse.

The minister enforced the obligations of piety and virtue, of patriotism and courage, on grounds ‘relating to both worlds, and illustrated the compatibility of such per- sonal excellences with the soldierly charac- ter, by the example of some well-known soldiers of modern times, who were not more distinguished for professional ability than they were for high personal character.
