general at the table. The general asked the miller all about his family, and the tailler said that he had two brothers and a sister. ‘‘No other brothers.” ‘My younger brother went off with the army many years ago and no doubt was long ago killed.” Then the General said: ‘Soldier's, I am this man’s brother whom he thought was dead,” and how loud was the cheer and how warm was the embrace ”

Brother and sister, you need as moch of an introduction to each other as they did You do not know each other, You think your brother is grouty and cross and queer, and he thinks you are selfish and proud and unlovely. Both wrong! That brother will be a prince in some woman’s eyes, and that sister a queen m the estimation of some man. That brother is a magnificent fellow, and that sister is a morning in June. Come, let me _ introduce you ;: “*Moses, this is Miriam.” ‘Miriam, this is Moses.” Add seventy-five per cent. to your preseut appreciation of each other, and when you kiss good morning do not stick up your cold cheek, Wet from the recent washing, as thongh you hated to touch each other’, lips in affectionate caress. Let it have ali the fondness and cordiality of a loving sister’s kiss.

Make yourself as agreeable and helpful to each other as possible, remembering that soon you part. The few years of boyhood and girlhood will soun slip by, and you will

© out to homes of your own, and into the

ttle with the world, and amid ever- changing vicissitudes, and on paths crossed with graves, and up steps hard to climb, and through shadowy ravines. Bat, oh, my God and Saviour! may the terminus of the journey be the same as the start, namely, at father’s and mother’s knee, if they have inherited the kingdom. Then, as in boyhood and girlhood days, we rushed in after the day's absence with much to tel! of exciting adventure, and father and mother enjoyed the recital as much as we who made it, so we shall on the hill- side of heaven rehearse to them all the scenes of our earthly expedition, and they shall welcome us home, as we say, ‘'Father and mether, we have come and brought our children with us.” The old reviva hymn described it with glorous repetition ;

“* Brothers and sisters there will meet.

Brothers and sisters there will meet,

Brothers and sisters there will meet, Will meet to part no more.“

I read of a child in the country who was detained at a neighbor's house on a stormy night by some fascinating stories that were being told him, and then looked out and saw it was so dark he did not dare go home. The incident impressed me the more be- cause ia my childhood [ had much the same experience. The boy asked his com rades to go with him, bat they dared not. It got later and later—seven o'clock, eigh o'clock, nine o'clock. ‘‘Oh,” he said, ‘1 wish I were home.” As he opened the door the last time, a blinding flash of the storm and a deafening roar overcame him. Bat after a while he saw in the distance a lantern, and lo! his brother was coming to fetch him home, and the lad stepped out and with swift feet hastened on to his brother, who took him home, where they were suv glad to greet him and for a long time supper had been waiting. So may it be when the night of death comes and our earthly friends cannot go with us and wedare not go alone; may eur brother, our elder brother, our friend closer than a brother, come out to meet us with the light of the promises, which shal be a lantern to our feet, and then we wil! go ip to join our loved ones waiting for us, supper all ready, the marriage supper of the Lamb !

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Information Wanted.

Srk,—Can you give an interested public the reason why the sentence of death, passed upon Alexander Gillis in January last for one of ithe most atrocious murders ever committed, has been commuted to imprisonment in the penitentiary ? It is currently reported that representations were forwarded to the Governor-General by Peters & Peters, Attornies for the mur- derer, which are supposed tobe the cause of His Excellency’s serious blunder.

We have a right to know who is to blame for this outrage of justice and encuurage- ment to evil-doers ; and trust you may be able to shtain the information. It is well known that the evidence against Gillis was of the atrongest kind, and that during hia fair trial not one extenuating circumstance could be urged in his favor, His previous crimes and escapes from panitentiaries con- vince us that clemency towards such a fiend is only wasted ; and we have reason to fear that before five years pass he will succeed, by some of his arts, in regaining his liberty, which means for him more murders, thefts and seductions, It his Attornies can give any decent explanation of their share in the matter we would like tu hear it.

Yours faithfully, Tae Pvustie.

[If our correspondent wants information as to the influences brought to bear upon the Governor General in this case and the reasons for the commutation of the sentence passed upon Gillis, he had better get Drs., Jenkins or McIntyre or Messrs Hackett, Yeo, Davies or McDonald to move for the pspersete. Itwould be well to call to mind, in the meantime, the rule as laid down by Blackstone: ‘Justice, by the Constitution of England, is bound to be administered in mercy. This is promised by the King, in his coronation oath, and it is that act of Government which # the most personal and most entirely his own.” But we see little good in going into the matter. W hat’s done cannot be undone ; and but for the dreaded eventuality uf his escape from the peni‘entiary, Gillis is now to all intents and purposes, a dead issue. ]

Gladsione’s Irish Policy.

The Pall Mali Gasette professes to have authority for saying that the statements of the Vimes and Standord that Gladstone’s eXpropria‘ion scheme cont ‘a plating an out- lay of £200,000 000 are ridiculous ; and that the sam which Mr. Gladstone calcu- lated hecessary to buy out all the present landlords of Ireland, is much nearer £100, - 000,000 than £200,000,000. Joseph Cham. berlain, the Presideut of the Local Govern- meut Board, declares that the reports which

DOMINION PARLIAMENT THF RIEL QUESTION

Continuation of the Debate.

Orrawa, March 19.

The House met, and after pela roceeded to further discuss 8 aes a“ Mr. MacIntosh referred to the Freneh- Canadian element as generous and noble of disposition. The agitators had seized these good qualities and found them in the wrong direction, stultifying their own record in many cases. Mr. Laurier, for instance, had declared he would have taken up his musket and fonght by the side of Riel. Yet when he was a member of the Govern. ment he had declared he hated rebellion, aud that rebellion, under no circumstances,

was justifiable. No one with a head on bis shoulders believed Laurier and others since in their advocacy of the cause of Riel.

Blake followed MacIntosh. He said the question belongs to that branch of the ad- ministration ef justice of which the execu- tive had by law cuntrol, It was a proper thing to bring it before Parliament. The discussion was one of a delicate character and all party spirit? should be eleminated. Parliament was called upon to act in the spirit of a judge. Holding this view hia) party had decided that there should be no association of party in their ranks whatever course the Government side might take.

In a long speech, Blake dealt with the question of Riel’s sanity. He admitted Riel’s guilt, and finished by stating that it was deeply to be regretted that the execu- tion was allowed to Uke place, and he would vote for Landry’s motion,
