‘

Not among the suffering wounded— { Not among the peaceful dead— Not among the prisoners. ‘*Missina,”’ That was all the me&sage said.

Yet his mother reads it over, Until, terough her painful tears, Fades the dear name she has called him For these two-and-twenty years”

Round her all is ‘peace and plenty ; Bright and clean the yellow floor ;

While the morning glories cluster All around the kitchen door.

Soberly the sleek old honse-eat Drowses in his patch of sun ; Neatly shines the oaken dresser ;

All the morning's work is done.

Through the window comes the fragrance Of a sunny harvest morn, Fragment songs from distant reapers, | And the rustling of the corn ;

And the rich breath of the garden— Where the golden melons lie ;

W here the blushing plums are turning All their red cheeks to the sky.

Sitting there within the sunshine— Leaning in her easy ehair ;

With soft lines upon her forehead, And the silyer in her bair—

Blind to sunshine—dead to fragrance— On that royal harvest morn ;

Thinking, while her heart is weeping, Uf her noble-browed tirst born.

How he left her in the Spring time, With his young beart fall of flame,

With his clear and ringing footstep, With his lithe and supple frame.

Ifow with tears his eyes were brimming, As he kissed a last **Good bye,’’

Yet she heard him whistling gayly As he went across the rye.

Missixe. Why should we be missing? He would fight until he fell ;

And if wounded, killed, or pris’ner, Sume one there would be to tell.

Missing. Still a hope to-cheer her! Sate, triumphant, he may come,

With the victor-army shouting, With the clamor of the drum!

So through all the days of Autamn— In the eve and in the morn—

She will bear his quickening footsteps iu the rustling of the curu.

Or she will hash the household, While her heart gues leaping high, Thinking that sbe hears him whistling lu the pathway through the rye. e * * > .

Far away, through all the Autumn, In a Jonely, lonely glade—

In the dreary desolation ‘That the Battle Storur bas made ;

With the rast upon his masket— Im tle eve and in tie *mmorn-—

In the rank glodta uf the fern leaves Lies her nuble-browed first burn.

Provincial Parliament. HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.

(Continued from the last No. of the Examiner.)

REY. MR. SUTHERLAND’S BOOK. | Hon. Mr. COLES said the House would be pledging itself to the sentiments set forth in the book, by voting a sum for its publication. It was yet unfinished, and he would have no objection to vote a sum were it finished and laid before them. j EE it was worth writing, aud was so highly recommended by | the Board, he thought there wou!d_be a great demand for it, | which would be suffivient to pay at least for its publication. | He would have no objection to give a pledge for a small sum ‘to aseist in getting it published, if a Committee were appointed | /to examine it aud give a certificate in its favor. Now, that) \the M3. had been submitted, if a sum were voted for its pub- lieation, they wouid themselves pledge to its contents; there- fore it would be better to leave the matter to competent judges |t0 determine. _ Hon. Mr. HAV LAND said the learned geatleman who /wrote the work was probably not prepared to pay for its pub- jlivation, It might be well enough to talk ubout promising (a sum, afier it was published, but the object for which the iyraut was sought was to pay (he expense of the publication. |In this Colony there were vot speculative printing establish- wots as in other couvtries, where parties would publish the work at their own risk, and trust to the chances of its sale , tu pay al! expenses, llon, Mr. HENSLEY said all the members had not had an opportunity of knowing what the contents of the book were. fie had read parts of it, and would like to see 3 or 4 ‘verbal alteratious made, be had no doubt the author would \expunge them were they pointed out to him. It was desi- rable 10 bave the book for the schools, but, ia his opinion, it should be previously submitted to the inspection ¢! sae Go- , vernment, aud obtain their approval. / Hon. Mr. WHELAN said the proposition of the hon. gen- tleman who had just sat.dowo was manifestly absurd, tor, ‘were it acted upon, the title of the book would be *‘The history of P. K. Island, Geographical and historical, with ‘emendations by the House of Assembly,” which would cover the whole affair with ridicule; aud certainly the learned ‘author would refuse to comply with such a condition. Most authors would, unless exceedingly hard pushed for means (to publish a smalf"work. He had perused a few pages of the | MS. and listened to a few more as they were read, and had leandidly to confess that the work did not come up to his expectations. With reluctance he had to say he failed to

| | |

for the resolution, though willing to encourage literary enter- 'prises. He felt bound to say that the puble interests would ‘not suffer in the slightest degree were it left unpublished, | He would not complain of the spirit in which it might be sup- posed to have been written ; he would not make that objection, | but would rather say that itdid not possess any spirit at all. It principally consisted of dry facts, such as could be gleaned ‘from avy old Aimanae or Family register, strung together without connection. It were easy to string together 145 pages ‘or 10 times that number, of facts much more interesting, and having quite as much relation to affairs of this Island las many iutroduced in that compilation. He would be will- ling to give £70, or to go as high as £300 to encourage the publication of a work giving a detailed account of P. E. Is- land—a work similar to Baliburton’s history of Nova Scotia, | lor Cooney’s history of New Brunswick. “The cost of the _ publication ofthe work before them would not be much, and if the Board saw good to extend its patronage to the author after it was published, with the number of schocls ou this | Island, about 309 ia operation, if each school took 3 copies, at 2s. copy—the price mentioned in the resolution—it would give a handsome remuneration, besides paying the cost | of its publication.

Mr. DAVIES said he did not see how hon. members could expect to bave a history of this Island without giving some- thing to a writer of one for its publication. This Island was differeatly situated from Canada, Nova Scotia or New Bruns- wick, for in this Colony a work of this kind would necess-

| arily have but a limited circulation. He had felt the need

wed ; me the author of a literary publication. There weve such a di- versity of character that it was quite impossible to please all, or evea the baif of readers. He would meet with the col

crabbed eynie, who, in poring over the labors of she author's mind, would see nothing but deformity, and in perceiving which, he would only see the reflection of bis own mind, Passing the cynic, he would meet one whe wasa

competitor for public favor, whom jealousiy would prompt to

wake a great fault out of a very trifling circumstance—he would couvert hillocks into mountains, and such an one would begrudge to others the greatness he himself had failed to se- cure. It was characteristic of Jittle, jealous minds to endea- vor to make competitors for public favors appear as ordinary as possible. Next came a person of a different stamp, one who had prejudices in favor of certain sentiments, and the’ modes of expressing them, and any deviation from his pre- conceived notions on these points met with his test cen- sure. ‘Taking the little manuscript before them, they only saw a synopsis of facts imprinted on white paper, and placed there to save them from oblivion. A few years more, and probably they would have been beyond the reach of any one. By collecting and transmitting them to paper, however, there was there preservation of useful and interesting knewledge, and such was the manuscript before them. He (Mr. M‘Aa- lay) would like to have seen the facts and sentiments con- tained in the volume clothed more fully, but as it was by re- fusing a small sui for its publication, he believed the

would be neglecting an important part of the public interests, and of their own duty. From the of the MS. whieh he had heard read, he would say it was solely intended for schools. Ifa emali grant were given to assist in publishing the work, he had no doubt but what the author would at a future period publish ‘a second edition which would appear in a different form.

Hon. Mr. THORNTON ihen ran over and commented upon several notes which he had taken of parts of the MS., which he had read or heard read, of which the following are specimens. Mr. Thornton satd he glanced through the MS., and eaw things which, in his opinion, rendered 1 anf to be placed im the hande of pupils attending our public schools, and he would ‘state ‘his reasons fur thinking so. The majority of the Boord the work good, they could have their opinion, and he wonld en- Joy his. Up to the 97th page, he thought the work pretty good and suitable for schools, for it contained merely a narration of facts; after that the author went into other matiers, and made allusions to cireumstances which, in his opinion, showld not have

, been made ; and among other things there was en account of

the Bel‘ast riot whieh was calculated to stir up angry feelings in the breasts of many. Such things were not needed if & work caiculated fur the public schoo's. Again he found singular re- marks under the head of relagion—about the cross, ¢. g., being the symbol of Catholicism, and about the Bible bemg the only Superior authority m matters of region. © Again, the Presby- terians unied formed the largest body of Protestante—a very partin| statemeut. i -" lion.

Further on, the history of Escheat was given, ete. At page 101, it was stated @ bear was once seen swimming across Bedeque harbor, and that a great whale was killed at Tracadie. Concerning the appropriation bill, the learned gen- tleman was ignorant, but he (Mr. 'T.) was on the Committee on the occasion to which he referred, and thie was the secret of the matter.—Whena the Assembly and the Government differed, the. Assembly compromised, and sgreed to separate the Revenve and Appropriation bille, but attached to the apreement was a promise from the Governor through his Secretary, that in future the Estimates for the current year would be laid before the As-. sembly ; this was the first time, he believed, it was done inthe Colony, and the practice was since followed,

Hon. Mr. HAVILAND.—That ie one of the argu- ments in favor of our having a history of this Island. There is a bit of information now communicated which the would not have known had it not been for thie circ :

He was just then informed by the Queen’s Printer—he said that Mr. Bagster, had a large quantity of his books already struck off, and all at his Own expense,

The discussion on thie subject was kept up fora ‘time, and a fair specimen of the speeches for and against the heve been given. Hon. Col. Gray, and Hon. Mr. Pope spoke

in favor of the work, afier which—

Hon. Mr. HENSLEY made a motion of amendment to the effect that asum of be granted to Rev, Nr. Sutherland ta. assist in publishing his book, provided the same receive tbe ap-. proval : a Committee of 5 or 6 persons to consider and-sevise the work. ;

Hon. Mr. WHELAN said he could not vote for the amend-, ment, for he would not set himself up as a standard of compo- sition. He was not disposed to grant anythirg previous to the. ‘publication of the work. s
