The Boniton “Times” on the Fish- ery Commission.
A dispatch from London, dated Novem- ber 27th, says: The ‘‘'Times” has an ed- itorial on the Fisheries Award. ‘he ‘Times’ states much negotiation will be needed between the two Governments, and hopes that the Award Coinmission will be- come the basis of the final settlement of the dispute regarding the question of validity of a majority award, and says that it is clearly an essential prerogative of a mixed Arbitra- tion Board to be decided by majorities. Nod doubt the United States Government wil! see the common sense of this view aud ac- quiesc2 in the award. ‘ Any attempt,” adds the ‘‘ Times,” ‘to mix up with the fishery question negotiations for a Reci- procity ‘Treaty _ between Canada and the United Siates should be avoided.” Other journals express similar opinions.

Prompt Payment.
‘‘ Prompt payment is the key to all sue- cess in business. There are times in the history of every trader when he finds it in- convenient to meet his bills promptly, and in such cases we find the inan who knows his credit to be good becoming lukewarm, forgetting that his creditors are calculating upon him perhaps to meet some pressing obligation. The result is that he disap- pomts them, and thus, after one or two repetitions of the same, even the man whose credit is first-class can soon impair it, and sometimes to a degree that makes it hard for him to recuperate. Now, let us take the man of moderate (say fair) credit. He knows under what circumstances his credit is scrupulously watched ; and if his bills be- gin to lapse, he is at once notified of it, and informed that unless past bills are paid, no more goods can be procured. With such a contingency facing him, he sees it is better to meet his bills promptly, and is on the high road to success. Prompt payment oes two important things—it inspires con- fidence in the seller, putting the buyer on a first-class basis, and it insures the prompt shipment of goods.”
Our English contemporary, whence we extract the above sound advice, forgets that there is still greater advantage in seeking no credit at all, but making payment at once. Persons who have not tried the cash sys- tem (and we mean not merely in ordinary business transactions, but everywhere, even in the small expenditure of the household) have no idea how much it simplifies the transactions, and benefits both the buyer and the seller. It is the saving to the pur- chaser of a very large percentage. We have found, by inquiry among many retai] deal-
ers in this city, that such houses ae in the habit of allowing credit to their €ustomers
from six months to one year, add on an average at least ten per cent. to the cash price. And this must be so, because the dealer cannot afford to lose the interest on his money and take the risk of failure of payment of a portion, which is inevitable.

eading Aloud.
Reading aloud seems almost gone out of fashion, except among those who do it pro- fessionally. 41t is no longer really taught in schools, or itis taught in a very few. A single generation has seen it pass away. The reason of this is twofold and strange. For it is first the great increase in reading. Reading aloud cannot be taught in large classes, and consequently in public schools it has fallen into neglect. Not that there is no pretence made of teaching it, although even in this there is comparatively little ; but there has ceased to be that individual practice before the teacher, guided by his instruction, which used to be regarded as one of the most important of daily school exercises. This is much to be regretted. Better let two branches go than this of reading aloud. In fixing his attention, in leading to exactness of comprehension, in power of bringing the pupil’s mind into a tiexible adaptability to the thought present- ed to it, there is no exercise that will take the place of reading aloud. <A person can- not read anything aloud weil, with proper inflection and emphasis, without thoroughly understanding it. A pupil cannot scramble through and skip over what he knows he is
A ‘vhriling E&cene. A BOY FROZEN TO DEATH IN
PARENTS,
SIGHT OF HIs
_ Asad disaster—the first resulting from ice giving way this season—is reported from Cuoboconk,County of Victoria,Ont. Late one afternoon last week, a son of Mr. J. Camp- bell saw a deer crossing over a small lake in the neighborhood of his father’s farm. The lad was an intrepid youth and resolved to follow the animal. Away» went the deer across the ice, at full speed, and after it rushed the boy, who was very fleet-footed. Suddenly, and when about four hundred yards froi the shore, the ice began to’ crack
Still the boy ran on, trusting to the heavy frost which had set in. But alas ! his da- ring hint was to be cut short in a manner he had not caleulated on. All at one, the ice gave way under him, and down he went. He managed to keep himself from being drawn under the ice, but failed to find any strong enough to bear his weight; and as effort after effort failed, the daring youth saw that all he could do was so endeavour to reach a rock about fifty yards off. By dint of the most strenuous endeavours—by half running and half dragging his body through the ice—the heroic boy reached the
rock. All this time he had been crying for help. When he reached the rock, he re-
newed his cries with great vigour. He was heared by his parents, who rushed to the lake side. What must have been their hor- ror, however, when they found that the ice was too frail to allow them to reach their boy. .The night was bitter cold, yet time and again did the grief-stricken parents at- tempt a journey over the ice, only to find it give way, and themselves thrown in the ter- ribly cold water. What was to be done ? Father and mother, wringing their hands, rushed along the lakeside in vain hope that they might finda boat;several neighbors, how- ever, struck by the sad event, also engage- ed in the serch, and as evening wore on,the scene was one that no description of ours can depict it in its awful reality. The boy sat on the rock for several hours; the shades of evening still found him there with no hopes of being rescured; his cries for help became fainter and fainter. His parents saw him make a signal with his hands, and then observed that he fell All was over; the boy had been sitting on the rock for hours, drenched to the skin, and had perished through sheer exhaustion in the sight of his parents powerless to save im.

HALIFAX AS THE “WINTER PORT.”
On the 28th inst. the leading business men of Halifax held a conference with Sir Hugh Allan for the purpose of ascertaining in what way the object of making Halifax the winter port of call and departure for his steamers could be accomplished. Sir Hugh Allan said he was much in favor of making Halifax the winter port in preference to ay port inthe United States, but there were several obstacles that stood in the way, amongst which were the fact of the terminus of the Intercolonial Railway being so far away from the wharves of the city that a portion of the year the loading place at Ricmond was unapproachable on account of ice, as one of the steamers was frozen up there during the large portion of one winter, and again the expenses of the steamers in the port of Halifax were much larger than in Portland, Quebec or Montreal, provisions alone costing at least fifty per cent. more. There was also the probability of the Inter- colonial Railway being snowed up in winter, which, if it should occur, would be fatal to the shipment of grain. Several questions were then asked regarding the cost of freight, when Sir Hugh assured them that if the cargoes were provided here he would guarantee to carry them atthe same cost from Chicago to Liverpdol as if they were shipped from Portland, provided the Grand Trunk and Intercolonial Railways do as they now propose ; and he would urge on the deputation the fact that it would be well to send one or two persons interested in this matter to Chicago to work up this trade.

«To me it is specially appalling that a man should perish through wilfully rejecting tlie Divine salvation. A drowning man throwing away the life-beit, a poisoned man throwing ithe antidote upon the fioor, a wounded man tearing open his wounds—any one of these is a sad sight, but what shall we say of a soul put- |ting from it the Redeemer and choosing its ! own destruction? © souls, be warned and for- | bear from eternal suicide. There is still the | way of salvation, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus | Christ, and thou shalt be saved.’ Ts ‘is to trust. I met with one the other night
who had imbibed the notion that saving faith | was simply to believe that the doctrines of the | Word of God, and -the statements therein | made are true- Now faith includes that, but You may believe ail this | book to be true, and Le lost notwithstaading | your belief.
