~ POETRY,

EVENING PRAYER.

Vesper bells are softly pealing,

| As the daylight fades away ;

Tevder memories o’er us stealing;

Thriil our hearts while humbly kneeling ; Holy father, hear us pray !

Through the darkness, while we slumbered, And this gently closing day,

All with earthly cares encumbered,

Thou has kept from ills uaoumbered, Holy One, ob, hear us pray !

Hear us, for Thy name we cherish Ever, as Thy ctuldren may ;

Help us still and love and nourieh,

Else Thy helpless ones must perish ; Holy Father, hear us pray!

| | | |

‘Thou hast loved, and ‘Thou hast fed us, Siuce we first bebeld the light ;

Thou hast kept us, clothed us, fed us—

To Thy love, Thy law, oh, wed us, While we bow in prayer to-night.

Hear us pray! thus lowly kneeling, Thrilled, as fades the dying day, Like sweet incense upward stealing,

All our love for Thee revealing, Hear us, Father, while we pray.

Hear, while stars are faintly gleaming,

And the twilight dime the day;

While the pale moon, softly beaming,

Wakes the spirit from its dreaming, Ch, eur Father, hear ue pray!

aang?

SONG.

—_—

The harp at Wen ure’s advent strung ‘o play;

Has never ceased 1. The song fee stars of mo, YS sung Has never died away.

And prayer is made, and praise t. etveuy

By all things bear and far: The ocean looketh up to heaven, And wirrors every “tar.

Its waves are kneeling on the strand, As kneels the human koee,

Their white locks bowing to the sand, The priesthood of the sea!

They pour their glittering treasures forth, Their gifts of pearl they bring,

And all the listening hills of earth Take up the sorg they sing.

The green earth sends ber incense ap From many & mountain shrine; From folded leaf aud dewy cup She pov-s her sacred wine.

The mists above the morning rills Rise white as wings of prayer; The altar curtains of the hilla Are sunset’s purple air.

The winds with hymns of praise are loud, Or low with sobs of pain ;

The thunder-organ of the cloud, The dropping tears of rain.

» Ruisins,

With drooping head and branches erossed The twilight forest grieves,

Or speak with tongues of Pentecost. Fron: all its sunlit leaves. »

oe

The blue sky is the temple's arch, Its transept earth and air,

The music of its starry march The chorus of a prayer.

So Nature keeps the reverent frame With which her years began,

And all her signs and voices shame The prayerless heart of man.

His Excellency came down to the Council Chamber at three o’clock, and being seated on the Chair of State, the House of Assembly were sutnmoned to attend him immediately at the Bar of that House. His Excellency then intimated to the House of Assembly, through the President of the Legislative Council, that be would not proceed to declare his reasons for calling them together till they should retire to their own Chamber and choose a Speaker. The House of Assembly accordingly withdrew, and io a short time re- turned, when the Hon. Joseph Wightman addressed His Excellency, and stated that the {louse had chosen him as their Speaker, which choice His Excellency was pleased to approve and confirm. The Hon. Mr. Wight- man then claimed, on bebalf of the memivers of the House, all their former rights and privileges, —including freedum from arrest, freedom of speech in their debates, aod free access to His Excellency at all timee—all of which were readily granted by His Excellency.

His Excellency was then pleased to open

the Sgesion with the following SPEECH : { See last No. of Examiner}

The Speech being ended the House of Assembly withdrew, and His Excellency was pleased to retire.

Atter prayers, the House proceeded to busi- ness, when it was

Resolved, That an humble address be presented to His Excelleticy the Lieutenant Governor to return the thanks of this House for his Speech delivered this day.

A Committee was then appointed, consisting of the Hon. Mr. Walker, Hon. Mr. Palmer and the Hon. Mr. Dingwell, to prepare a draft Address.

every four years, the said Act doth not in any of its provisions, require that the officers of the Council, duly appointed, shali be displaced at the termination of each four years :— “ Resolved, Therefore, that without sufficient eause adduced for removing an officer of this House, it is deemed inexpedient to displace him from office.” The question of concurrence having been put on the amendment, the House divided— Contents—-Hon. Messrs. Palmer, Beer, Anderson and Gordon—+. Non-Contents—Hon. Messrs. McDonald, Walker, Dingwell, Lord, Haythorne, Muir- head and Balderaton—7. So the amendment was lost, and the ques- tion having been put on the original motion it passed in the aflirmative.

If it ie thas | Mr. Bali do take bis seat in virtue of 8 com- mission from the Government [ must @irect my opposition to it, and the House should re- ject it. The Government bad once the power to appoint the Clerk of this House, and Mr. Cooper, it is true, was appointed by virtue of that power, but that was under the old costi- tution. I peed not teil the House that in 1862 the Lgeislature thought proper to alter the constitution, and that swept away, but ‘only the old Council, bat also the power of the Governor to appoint its officera. The Clerk then derived his appointment in virtue of this Act, and Mr. Cooper was appointed by a vote of this Louse, Ls may not so appear ,upon the journals, but that is no matter. | Reference bas been made to the Act of 1860, _bat we have nothing todo with that.

Hon. Mr. McDonas.p moved that Mr. John Ball do now enter upon the duties of his office, as Clerk of the Coune'l, in virtue of the Commiasion which had just been read.

IJon. Mr. Pauwer: Lam sorry that I feel the necessity of rising to object to that pro- position. My objection is not to the person appointed, but to the manner of his appoint- ment. I think I am just as much alive to our privileges as any member of this House, and I never turned my back when a question of privileges came before us. I hope and

Hon. Mr. McDonaip < After what has beet

said by his honor about ’ privileges of the House, one would suppose that the Executive Government bad no an- thority for the course it has taken; but the present Clerk was appointed in the same Way as Mr. Ball is now appointed ; and nct only 80, but he was appointed againet the wishes of the members of Council. In the journals of 1860 we find the following entry :—

“Mr. President informed the House that Tis Excellency the Lieutenant Govervor bad been pleased, by Commission, bearing date the 20th March, instant, to appoint James Barrett Cooper, Esquire, Cierk of the Legislative Council, of this Island, which Commission was read, and there- upon

vo Mr. Cooper appeared within the Bar, and took the oath of office in the following words :— * * * * « * *

“After which he took his seat, and entered upon the duties ef his office.”

Now it appears evident that the Clerk held his situation by virtue of a commission re) ceived from the Governor, up to the tim) when the Legislative Council was made elective, and then he took his seat in virtue of that commission. Turn to the Journals of 1X63, the first session of the elective Council, and you will see that the Clerk was not appoint- ed by thie House, though all the ather officers were. We aiso gee that the Clerk's salary is not fixed by the Legislative Council but by the Civil List Bill. It is, therefore, evident that the eee rests with Government ; but if the Legislative Council wish to have the appointment, I do not think the Govern- ment will have any objection to passing a bill for that purpose.

Hon. Mr. Beer: [ differ very mach from | his honcr who has just sat down as regards the power of the Government to appoint an officer of this House. When Mr. Cooper re-| ceived his commission this House was not elective ; but since it has become elective, | it surely enjoys the same privileges as the House of Assembly with respect to the ap pointment of its officers. And as this House bas power to appvint its President, surely the greater should carry the lesser with it. As regards the appointwent of officers in 1863, if your honors will turn to the debates of that | year you will find that the Clerk was appoint- ed by this House, as well as all the others, and | do not see how we can have less power | now than we had then, or less than the| House of Assembly in this respect. Are we) going to make ourselves the mere tools of the Government of the day? [ am not prepared to fritter away the privileges of the House by acknowledging that the Government has power to appoint our Clerk.

Hoo. Mr. Lory: His honor who has just sat down appears to have altered his tune since J863. At that time the Clerk was not appointed by this Hours but by the Govern- ment of the day; and as the Government is now changed he contends that the power is in this House. I regret that the power is not in this Mouse, but the Act stunds in the way. There was no motion made to appoint Mr. | Cooper in 1863. |

Lion. Mr. Brer : I believe I myself proposed Mr. Cooper, aud the wotion was carried unani- mously. The commissivn was not brought to our notice at that time.

Hon. Mr. Lorn: Then bow is it that Mr. Cooper’s name is omitted in the journals? Did Mf. Cooper do it intentionally to injure himself? No, the appoiatment originated with the Government of the day.

Hon. Mr. Haytuorng: From what bas been | said one would suppose there was a dieposi- | tion on the part of some members of this House to fritter away our privileges; such, |: am sure, is not the case. In the Executive | Council it was fully understood that the ap- | pointment was inthe Government of the day, and we therefore acted upon that power. [t) may be desirable to have the power in this) House, and if his honor the member for Ctur- lottetown will bring forward a measure for that purpose, | will support it; but I do not think it is fair for his bonor to speak so warmly upon an infractivo of vur privileges. As far as we are able to judge, Mr. Cooper took his seat, and retained it, by virtue of a commission from the Executive Government, and we considered that we were to exercise the same privileges as our p rs had done. I think the time is not far disiant when we will have to re-model the Act under which this House is constitated; and if his honor from Charlottetown would tarn his at- tention te that it would be wn advantage to
