The Picnic Season.
| The members of the Sar of Peace Divis- ion beld their first annual picnic on Tues- | day, the 22ad inst., on the beautiful and |suitable grounds belonging to Hector Mc- | Kenzie, Esq., Big Point.
| The morning and the roads were all that could be desired, and the company, invig- orated by the drive, the animating breeze, and the bagpipes’ stirring strains, arrived in good time to have a general shake hands and a look around, ere the quickened appe- tit» and the dishe’s ring summoned them to partake of the good things usually provided for such occasions.
After tea, each engaged in or witnessed the various games and amusements which enlivened the remainder of the day. Thus the hours were passed, and as the shades of evening fell, they beheld the members of that company, with pleased countenances, quietly seated at home, musing on the scenes of the day, or gathered in social circle, allowing the events of the day to take possession of their minds, mesmeriat- like, and thus they joyed again.
The kindness and hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. McKenzie and family, will not soon be forgotten, and when reminiscences of the day will crowd in upon tbe mind, there must always come associated with them ehoughts of the kindness and attention shown by them to the picnic party on this occasion, —Com.

John Bright on the Lords.
EXTKACT FROM A RECENT SPEECH BY THE GREAT REFORMER.
I am one of those who, being a great friend of peace, should not perhaps use illustrations derived from the military sys- tem, but, considering my age, and the long time I have been in Parliament, and the many great questions with which I have been eGonecisl, I have lately felt somewhat disposed to put aside my armor and weapons; but during the next few months, and until this question is settled, I feel it is the business and the duty of every member of the Liberal party to be wise in his counsels to his countrymen, end, by showing the gravity and the enormous magnitude of this ques- tion, endeavour to lead them in such a manner that their influence and expressions of opinion may be such that whatever may be the power of the House of Lords with n its own walls that power must succumb to the great view of a great nation. Mr. Goschen is afraid that people will look a little farther. I should hope myself that they will. (Hear, hear.) It is not consistent with the character and freedom of a great nation that an irrespon- sible House, a Huse that is not represen- tative, should have the power every few years to bring about a great and grave crisis like this, I said this many years ago and I do not object to repeat it. Lord Palmer- ston gave as a reason for not asking me to be a member of his Government that I had expressed views in regard to one institution that the country believed to be essential, which views, were I one of his colleagues, would drive from him the support necessary for his Government. I said that a heredit- ary Hovse of Parliament is not and can not be perpetual in a free cuuntry, (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Questions like this do not require violence and insurrec- tion and revolution. The Crown, so popular throughout the country, and so important in our system, has long ago given up its absolute veto; and in the United States the President has in many things much more power than the Prime Minister. He hasa veto, but the veto is not absolute. A certain majority of the House or Houses can overbear his veto It would be the great advantage, in my opinion, of the House of Lords if some limit were put upon their power of veto. (* Hear, hear,” and cheers.) I believe that would so change the character of the House of Lords and the conduct ard the thoughts of its members that the members of that House would be infinitely wiser and more useful in taking their part in the legis- lation of the country. And that is a mat- ter which may be discuased, and I am not quite sure that there are not members of the House of Lords who would not be of the same opinion. Ido not want to urge any action which would shake the institu- tions of this country. I like everything to go on as quietly and peacefully as possible. Therefore I should be very glad to recom- mend the people to agree to the smallest alteration which would give us a chance of greater success in the legislation of the future.

Household Hints.
Warming over Potatoes.—A good way to warm over cold potatoes is first te chop them not tvo fine; heat some butter in a frying-pan, and put the potatoes in. Just a few minutes before taking them from the fire stir in some well beaten eggs. Serve hot.
Clinkers in Stoves.—Make up a good fire; then place a dozen oysters or clam shells, or emall lumps of lime, upon the fire, press- ing them into contact witn the clinkers; then let the fire burn down and the clink- ers will be found so soft that they can be scraped of with a shovel. The lime in the shell acts as a flux.
For ridding rooms of tlies.—Take half

find out the cause of its illness and remove this. We have just received a letter from a mother who gave all her children sooth ing syrup to keep them quiet, and the re sult has been she has not one healthy child. She trusted to medicine, not hygiene. — Herald of Health.
Cure for Household Pests —Rats aresaid to have such a dislike to potash, that if it is powdered and scattered round their haunts they will leave them. A piece of rag well soaked in a strong solution of cayenne, is a capital thing to put into rat or mice holes, as they will not attempt to eat it. A plug of wood covered with a piece of flannel so prepared may be used to fill up the holes. Cockroaches and ants have a similar dislike to cayenne, and a little strewn about a cellar will keep it clear of them.
Keeping Lemons.-- Housekeepers find this a serious difficulty, and, as it ia some- times inconvenient and even impossible to get the fresh fruit, many will be glad to learn how lemons may be kept fresh. Pur- chase your lemons when they are cheap, and lay in a sufficient stock to Jast six months. Then procure a box proportion- ate in size to the number you wish to store and pack them in layers in dry sand. The fruit must not be allowed to touch each other. Put three inches of sand between each layer.—N Y. Herald.
Remedies for Small-pox.—Edward Hive, a correspondent of the Liverpool Mercury, in & communication to that paper speaks as foliows:—“f am willing to risk my reputation as a public man if the worst case of small-pox cannot be effectually cured in three days, simply by cream of tartar diasulved in boiling water. This is the sure and never failing remedy. One ounce of cream of tarter dissolved in a pint of boiling water, to be drank when cold at short intervals. It can be taken at any time, and is a preventive as well as a curative. It is known to have cured in a hundred thousand cases without a failure. 1 have myself restored hundreds by this means. It never Jeaves a mark, nor causes blindness, and always prevents tedious lingering. If people would only try it and report all the cases to you, you would require to employ many columns if you give them publicity.”
From numerous experiments made in the great hospital at Posen, Prussia, it appears that ice is a most effectual remedy against small-pox. One of the patients ina fit of delirium escaped to the garden, where the snow lay two feet deep. There he remain- ed the whole night, with no covering but his shirt. On the following morning the fever had subsided and the pustules had dried. The strange circumstance attracted the physician’s attention, and after con- sideration, they determined to keep the temperature of the esmall-pox wards very low, and apply small quantities uf ice to the patiente. The results surpassed their expectations, and at the end of a week all the patients had recovered.
The Chinese farm house is a curious- looking abode. Usually it is sheltered with groves of feathery bamboo and thick-spread- ing banyans. The walls are of clay or wood, aud the interior of the house coasists of one main room, extending from the floor to the tiled roo?, with closet-looking apart- ments in the corners for sleeping rooms. There is asliding window on the roof, made ot cut oyster shells, arranged in rows, while the side windows are mere wooden shutters. The floor is the bare earth, where at night- fall there often gathers together a miscel- laneous family of dirty children, fowls, ducks, pigeons, and a litter of pigs, all liv- ing together in delightful harmony. In some districts infested by marauding bands houses are strongly fortified with high walls, containing aperturer for firearms, and protected by a moat, crossed by a rude draw bridge.

**What makes your hair so white?’ ask- ed a little girl once, sitting on her grand- father’s knee. ‘‘Oh,” was the answer, “‘it is because I am very old, my dear. 1 was in the ark, don’t you know !” No, she did not know this, and it was a great opportun-
ity for Miss Inhusitive. “Oh, then you must be Noan’” “No, I om not Noah.” ‘“‘Then are you Shem ?’’
“No, lam not Shem.” ‘‘Are you Ham, then, grandpa?” ‘* No, nor Ham. either,” said grandpa, wishing that he had been more truthful in his first answer. ‘* Why, then, you must be Japhet,” said the little maiden ; and when the answer again was ‘*No,” she settled the matter to her own satisfaction, if not to that of her venerable relative, by saying, “‘ Then, as you cannot be Mrs. Noah, you must be one of the beasts.” —------ peo —- —-—
The Canadian correspondent of the New York Churchman writes: ‘Bishop Bald- win, of Huron, is winning golden opinions in all parts of his diocese, and has already confirmed several hundred candidates. He is a tireless worker, always ready to spend and be spent for the cause, and a preacher of electrifying power and eloquence. He possesses 2 manner of irresistible attract- iveness and makes warm, devoted personal friends, wherever he goes. Moreover, con- trary to general expectation, he displays a catholic indifference to a man’s church poli- tics, and knows neither high nor low. He promises to make a bishop of rare success and usefulness.”
