pleasing to learn that she has attracted an

Under all the cireamstances, and in view of the obligation of the Do

A FEW FACTS FROM THE GLOBE.

Tue Toronto Globe of the 26th Angust contains a few facta to be noted, The Globe says :

“A repetition of what happened in Australia a short time ago is at present sweeping over the great pepublic of the United States, and it is to be greatly regretted that there are no immediate signs of this disastrous financial disturb- ance and distrust, with ita attendant dire results, passing away A financial crisis in a country of such close proximity, ex- tendinr thousands of miles from north to south and from the Atlaniic to the Pa- cific, greatly injuring and inconveniencing all kinda of commercial and financial en- terprise, might naturally have been ex-

ected to have extended across the border ine, and with that lightning rapidity which has ever characterized its entrance wherever it has secured a grasp, spread devastation and distrust over our own fair Dominion. That such is not the case is fortunate, and, more than this, indications are that Canada will be spared from such an experience for at least many years to come. Our country being in a relatively prospereus condition, contentment reigns i the minds of the people, and their con- fidence in Canada’s boundless resources instils in them the truth that we have a land as rich and as good as any people might desire. While other nations’ finan- cial institutions are tottering, Canada’s are strong, running their even course without the slightest form of danger. Per- haps one of the great secrets of the strength and security of our institutions is to be recognized in the fact that they are chiefly organized, founded and guided by British principles and experience, in which thoroughness, substantiality and security are the mainstays. Our banks are pros- perous and retain the confidence of the people, for their shares aae selling at al- most as high a price as ever they did; our great loaning institutions give no indica- tions of financial stringenep, while our in- surance companies report that their buaj- sess is being pursued with the sam amount of vigor and progress as hereto- fore.”

We commend these remarks published by the Globe to the attetton of Mr. L. H Davies, the echoes of whose ruination speeches at Moncton and St, John are yet resounding o'er the land, ?

} by this storm, and the river was even then |

at “our’ door. So my attention was some- what taken up with plans for the future. I thought if the water rise another foot, as there seemed every of its doing, that we should cer- tainly all have to go upstairs to live, and it oceurred to me that if we were to open the cellar hatch and out a __ little piece from the floor of the loft directly above, that we might then sit up aloft, catch trout im the cellar (the water was

near

were to

prospect

cut

almost level with the first floor) and could thus be very comfort- ble and happy, and the individual

who owned the highest rubber boots could go down and cook the trout. I trust that you will pardon this digression, —it is in- tended merely as an explanation why anv- thing so important as a letter from “Jock” should have been forgotten. He willec- knowledge that the circumstances were peculiar.

When I reached town again last night, shy the article in yesterday’s Guardian, and realized that “Jock” was atill on the rampage, it occurred to me that I might try what a little mild reasoning would do to bring this unhappy man into a calmer state of mind.

Do not worry about being accused of having “a fad”. Weal! have fads. They make life very interesting sometimes, and “cranks” are useful, very useful. It-is by means of cranks that this world and most ofthe machinery in it turns round. But do not, oli, my friend, lose any

over

more sleep the thought that anyone in their | wildest attack of temporary aberation |}would take . you. far the editor of the Guardian. I cannot quite imagine the editor of the Guardian or the editor of any other city paper of even fair success penning such a sentence as the following : “When one does find her, she reminds them of a delicions breeze.”

The editor of a paper requires even more than a knowledge of correct grammatical construction. It is essential that he should have a deeper knowledge of human nature than you, wy friend,—I say it very gently —appear to possess, No, I think you may safely set your mind at rest on this point. No. person of penetration or good judgment will accuse you of being an editor. You are young; you are ardent and anxious to set the world straight You cannot do it by riding a tilt like Don Quixote againet everything you fancy wrong. It is written, “Judge not, that ye be not judged 3” and

again, “First cast out the beam out of thine own eve, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy

brother’s eye.”

Let us take another interpretation of this “absurd thing” that vou have witnes- sed. You have seen “a woman sailing down the street” ° “with an air peculiar to | herself.” Most persons of any individuality of character have a distinctive “air.” bat it appears to you to be “not the air of a well bred lady "—(the italics are mine). Suppose you ask any ten men

you may choose to select,

what they mean when | they use the phrase quoted above. I fancy | you will variety in the | answers. Never mind about the “super- cilious smile.” “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder,” and so I think is interpreta-

| tion of facial expression. Bat the “hesi- |

meet with some

| tating bow,”——ah ! that is serious. Were you ever guilty of a “hesitating bow,” Jock? oran absent-minded bow even ?

Were you ever called to account for jt? Did you ever say that you were not quite sure of the identity of the person who ques- tioned you, or that the sun had been shin- ing in your eyes? But perhaps you have remarkably good eyes. Sharp they certain- ly are, and the above excuses cannot be truthfully uttered by you. Thén you apolo- gize profusely, for you are aware that your explanation, truejand faithful though it may be, will certainly not sound very well. You say that you are “a little absent-minded and you happened to be thinking of something of great importance that morning.” Can you not allow the benefit of this doubt to the lady “with an air peculiar te herself?” It is even possible that the subject in this lady’s mind at the time had nothing what- pever to do with ner “own” or her “neigh- bor’s wealth.” Like the Laird of Cock pen, her “mind,” too, might have been “taken up with affairs of the state” for aught you or I can positively assert to the contrary. But you only relate half the story. What about the “air” of the “somebody else not so well favored with the riches of the world?” Did she hesitate or look down or across? Did she act awkwardly, so that the woman approaching might not be quite sure of the reception she would meet if she gave the “pleasant bow and cordial good morning” that most of us find so cheering to encounter? Why should you or anyone placeso much inward weight upon the accident of the wealth which you affect ontwardly to despise, as to expect the person possessing it to take the initiat- ive in every social courtesy ? Why haven’t you got more self respect ? You must have heard that “ Money brings care”; that “increase of power implies inerease of responsibility.” You must have seen, surely you of the sharp eyes have seen, that sudden accession of wealth is sometimes purchased by sudden acces- sion to sorrow or deep grief. In the other days to which you refer, when these peo- ple were “nobody” and had nothing, their neighbors met them half way in cour- tesy. The pride of the rich isas nothing to the pride of the poor. Seven times out of ten, when friends separate because one has more money thamthe other, the fault lies rincipally with ti one who remained as fore in pocket but not in mind. Besides all this, it is acknowledged freely by all people of experience that wealth is a much more crucial test of character than poverty. Besides~ this. everything is shown up in a high light, and little traits of character or trifling foibles that would

a reflection on the Charlottetown young | men; an uncharitable person might say on this Charlottetown man, and would then naturally wonder if all the young ladies treated him thus, or if there could be, by any chance, a * soli- taire mayd” in the case. Butthe w riter of this article is not uncharitable, and prefers to take the broadest possible view | of the matter. Let us say, then, that all

go on to

the young ladies prefer, in every instance, | *

to dance with officers instead of civilians | (the girls who act perfectly upon every | oecasion and the young men who are never snubbed can afford to let this pass), then if they dance with civilians at all it is either because they cannot get anyone else (candidly, now, don’t you think it is rather brave of them todo without dan- cing at all, as you say they are capable of doing, unless they can get the partner they want ?) or by exercising a good deal | of self-denial, and calling in general wpon | all the good qualities they possess. Now I am net a Charlottetown young man, and | you must pardon me if I am not suffi- |

ciently sympathetic. But even if I were a Charlottetonian, I doubt very | much if I should’ enjoy dancing | with any young lady who needed to |

exercise all the Christian virtues before | she could make up her mind to come with me. Perhaps when you look at it in this light you would object Suppose, then, that the society young men in Cha- lottetown try some of the Christian virtu 8 themselves, so that some of the strain mas be removed from the “ weaker sex.” Try magnanimity, for instance. Conld you possibly manage for one week out of fifty-two, so to efface yourselves as to say to the young ladies in the twa, “We will fill up your programmcs, as you will permit, as usual, but let it be an understood thing between us

too,

these dances, you may give it to him, or them, if you wish, and it will be all right with me.” Cannot you imagine yourselves | laughing it off among each other when you see that your sacrifice is accepted ? You cannot, eh. Then suppose you try plain, common charity, the charity “that thinketh evil,” and be at least quite sure of your facts when you assert that “some giris re-

no

were quite disengaged fora dance.” The | end of your sentence is not very clear, but I presume you intend to convey the im- pression that if an officer were to prefer the same request, it would certainly be ac- cepted. Have you never heard of engag-

opens ? Does your imagination refuse to accept the possibility that a Charlottetown young lady may find such favor in tlie eyes of an officer that he may engage a dance a year ahead? It does. None of these things are possible for you. Then,

as a lat resort, [ would counsel you to try common _— sense and goto the reotof the matter. It is, of

course, very reprehensible for a young woman to accept the attention of officers in preference to that of the civilians, whom she meets so often that if one of them, or perhaps it is safer to say some of them, were to promulgate anything in the shape of a new idea, her whole. nervous system

But thie granted. Is there no base for the preference? I+ it all “brass buttons” and “gold braid”? These things have to be earned’ by service, so Tam afraid you cannot have them, but you may look just as gay if vou choose. The growl against the “regulation” dress suit is long and deep. There are many men who object to be taken for waiters, and there has been a good deal said about reviving the old court suit, in a course, but so far as Iam aware, no one has as. yet put the idea into practice.
