LECTURE BY REV. J. ©. BERRIE.

The Rev. J. C. Berrie delivered the first ef a short coirse of leetures to be given in the Vernen River Methodist Church, on. Thursday evening last, on ‘* Habit.”

Motwitstanding the busy season ef the year, there wera a lerge andience present to hear the popular speaker. The Rev. lecturer being introdu.cd by the Chairman —Dr. MeNeill—described most vividly, with many amusing and racey anecdoies and illustrations, the errors of speech, &c.. which we form by habit. The man who wouldn’t laugh because it wasnt genteel, as well as the woman who wouldn’t speak in a natural way for fear of disarranging her mouth, were de- scribed in a most laughable manner. And then came a stirring and eloquent appeal! to the young pevple before him, pointing out to them most clearly and forcibly that habits formed in youth and indulged in uptil the middle age, be they good or evil, are almost impossible to be changed, thus shewing them the necessity, and exrnesily and eloquently exhorting them te form good Christian characters in youth, so that when they arrive at the age of maturity their hebits will be so formed as to need no

Prince Edward Island.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE ISLAND—ITS AGRICUL: TURAL RESOURCES, AND INCIPIENT MAWU- FACTURES— WHAT MAY AND SHOULD BE AC- COMPLISH ED.

(Correspondence of the Monireal Gazette. )

Of the fertility of the Island there can be no question. I doubt if there is to be found on the eontinent a million anda quarter of acres of land, lying tegether, of equal fertility. It is speci. the fact that it possesses in sea weed and mussel mud a valuable fertilizer of great value. Its soil is of good depth, and it is free from gravel pit-, a defeet so far as the construction and maintenanee of railways are concerned, but tdvantageous in that it bears nothirg but a rude alluvial soil. In appearance the country presents a striking likeness to sore parts of England, especially perhaps to some parts of Devon- shire. The houses are mostly of wood,

the sides as well as the roof. There are numbers of hedges and in many places dykes of the rick colored sandstone which is the ehat:cteristic of the Island. The farms are well cleared and culcivated, and present an appearance of wealth snd com- fort not surpassed in the best paris of On- turio. They say-the great articles of ex- port are oats, petatoes and servant-girls. Oats and potatoes are undobtedly the chief articles of export; the former are sent chiefly to England, and the latter to the neighbo.'ng Provinces, and to United Siates. In both products the istand farmers stand in the front rank. The fishing industry is an important ouxe, especially the lobs er fishery, there being several canning establishments on the island. This year the cai h of labsters has been something enormous, and an effort was meade to inluee the department to ex- tend the epen season which closed on the 20th August. The Minister, however, ef.er the most careful enquiry he could make, was compelled to decline this request. It is above all things important that the leb- sters should be preserved, and that the fishermea should not be permitted to bill the golden eggs. ae Manufactures in the is’and are beginning te develope. Four siarch factories are being erected, to make starch from peta- toes, an industry for which the island presents peculiar advantages, They are in the hands of companies, and there is every prasyeet of success in their operation. We visited twe woollen factories, one at Char- lottetown and one nearSummerside. That at Cnarlottetown was staried in 1871, but snecumbed to the benign influence of Mr.

some years. Jt has recently been opcued ac.in, and is now werking night and day to fill orders. It is about being enlarged awd more machinery pnt in it te meet the growing wants of its customers. That near Summerside managed to keep up a sickly existence, work- ing frequently only part time. It now employs over twenty per cent. more hands, and is kept at work not en!y ful! tine, but often over time. Both factories turn out an excellent article of sirong

of the prosperity of others. A boot and shee factory is just being established in Charlottetown, and other industries are talked of, an indication that Prince Edward Island is already heginning to feel the effects of t’\c policy of protection in the es- tablichment of industries in the country.

The possibilities of the Islard are, how- ever, Very great in another direction. No- where on the continent are there better pasture lands. and nowhere, therefore, are there better facilities for the establishment of creameries and cheese factories. There is no reason why this Prevince should not become a great exporter of butter and cheese. I understand that already a move- ment in the direction of the establishment of creameries has been commenced, Mr. Fenton T. Newbery being at the head of the movement, and he hepes, a he assured me, to have the pioneer creamery in opera- tion in a few weeks. I shall be greatly mistaken if this does not prove the pre- curser of a conditien of things which will largely change the system of agricultwre in the Island, and render the farmers quite independent of the American market. One objection to ite becoming a dairy farming district, is the length of the winter, and the cost, therefore, of feeding. But in a ceun- try of such marvellous ef production in the matter of hay and root crops, this will hardly be a sorious difficulty. The pasture is rich and nutritive, and I shall be greatly mistaken if it shall not turn out that Prince Edward Island butter and cheese will be the favorite higi: priced articles in all markets.

] have no intention of dragging politics into this letter ; but I may say one of the discussions which the National Policy has provoked, has been that it has set people to think of how the work of developing whatever resources their part.cular dis- trict may possess may be accomplished. Mr. Blake when on the Island, told the peeple that their National market was the United States. Why he should have told them this, when the Canadian Government is powerless te give that market, whatever party is in pewer, it is difficult to see. But asa matter of fact I am convinced that it is in the power of the Islanders to so act as to make themselves entirely independent of and indifferent to the American market. This is what many of their lead. ing men to-day are thinking about ; and I have no doubt that in the directions I have hinted at, they will find the means of de- veloping new sources of wealth, and thus waking their Island the richest, as it is now the most beautiful, of the Provinces of

Life and Occupation.

HOW TO FIGHT TRULY AND WELL THE BAT- TLE OF LIFE,

Lo:d Norton writes to the London Guar- dian :—

‘** The vight moral, therefore, to be drawn from the awfulness of life is not to be ‘doing good’ in any special kind of occupation, nor to mind religion in addition to ordinary businese, but to apply the carefully acquir- ed and maintained spirit of religion to every sort of business that comes to hand in discharging it aright and well. All fit businesses of life are the materials of the relivion of some, and religion derives its chief vitality from the work that gives zest to life, and is wrongly exhibited in any un- like meod. It is also remarkable that as ordinary employment is the chief formation ef character, which is the sole issue of life, so the character stamps ics own value on the employment. The common intercourse of life is fraught with higher wisdom in the simplicity of dauntless poverty than in the softer characteristic of artificial and con- ventional refinement. Thevaiue of any life-work to the man himself bears ne re- lation toits magnitude or utility. It is merely instrumental in his hands, and of significance to him in its execution only. Many whose work is nov unheard of will be first, when many doing what is most esteemed will appear last in fnal accevnt., The gain or forfeiture ef the prize of life follows the spirit of ita ordinary eccupa- tien.”

Will the Earth be a Comet. It is not altegether impossible, says Pro- fessor Draper, that the earth may become aeomet. It is altegether more probable that it wasa cemet before it became a steady going old world. At any rate, science fur- nishes no more reason for the one inference than the other. It is known that tbe nebule: visible in the heaveus are in various condition of world-formation, eeme of them slewly revolving around a centre of their own, some with with nvelei indicating cool- ing and condensation, while others are but epermous masses of matter in a gaseous state. ‘The structure ef the earth leads geologists te ihe conclusion that it was ence a fiery, gaseous, and afterwards a molten mass, requiring an inconceivable time before it ao far cooled as toform a crust, while smaller bodies, like its satellites, eeoling aconer, have paseed through the reapective

tweeds and blankets, made ‘rom the Islana wool, and are selling their gocds at as low 2 price ss they conld he ebtained for before the presant tariff, and of much better and were durable quality. Thus employ- ment is given to a number of people, a market at home is furnished for the wool of the farmers, and the consumer gets a much cheaper article, quality considered, than he did when he haa to depend upon the cheap cloths and blankets of the United States and Great Britain. We elso visited the fouuiry of Messrs. McKinnon & McLean, in Charlottetown, which is now in

process of enlargement. Three years ago this establishment employed five or six hunds; to-day it has forty, and the number will be largely increased when the improve- ments new being made are completed. They have a contract fer eight boilers for

| The Art Eeview says that Mullaie’s pov- |trait of Tennyson is a vigerous, frank, and realistic work. ‘‘ In expression it is un- questionably felicitous, having fixed the more theughtfal and Jess shrewd look of a face that has many moods. The dark, pic- turesquely eut eyes, drooping at th ir outer jecrners, were made to be the homes of meditation rather than of keenness, and Bir. Millais has filled them with the majes- tic melanchely which they weer in their best moments. The pecvliarshape of the forehead, extraordinarily high and rather narrey, has been somewhat insisted on, if votexdggerated. The poet stands frll face, draped in his own blue cloak, and holding his wide awake in his hand.”
