Canadian Folk Song.
The doors are shut, the windows fast; Outside the gust is diiving p»st, Outside the shivering ivy clings, While on the hob the kettle sings, Margery, Margery, make the tea, Singeth the kettle merrily.
The streams are hushed up where they flowed, : | The ponds are frozén along the road, The cattle are housed in shed and byre, While singeth the kettle on the fire, Margery, Margery, make the tea, Singeth the kettle merrily.
The fisherman on the bay in his boat
Shivers and buttons up his coat;
The traveller stops at the tavern door,
And the kettle answers the chimney’s roar, Margery, Margery, make the tea, Ningeth the kettle merrily.
| The firelight dances upon the wall, Footsteps are heard in the outer hall;
A kiss and a welcome that fill the room,
| And the kettle sings in the glimmer and gloom,
Margery, Margery, make the tea,
j Singeth the keitle merrily.

in Memoriam.
On the 30th ult., at Ten Mile House, Lot 35, passed peacefully away after a short and painful illness, of inflammation, William A. Webster, in the 54th year of$ his age, one of the most respectable farm- ers of that neighborhood. The deceased wasaman of sterling character and un- blemished reputation.
His upright walk through life, and strict honesty in all his dealings, commanded the confidence and esteem of all with whom he came in contact.
{ Although in feeble health most of his lifetime, and not being ove of that number who are “‘born with silver spoons in their ‘mouths,” he rose, through energy and judgment in the prosecution of his busi- ness, to a position of opulence and inde- pendence in the community. His sudden uid unexpected death has brought a deep 'glcom to the hearts of his sorrowing wife and bereaved family; for in the relations of husband and father, our departed brother had most worthily exemplified the duties ‘of his station. Of a genial and hospitable disposition, he was a general favorite in thé
— neighborhood; and many, both old and
yeung, will cherish his memory in kindly remembrance in the years tocome. His funeral was attended by Protestants and Catholics alike, all feeling that in his death the. community had lost an upriglit and obliging neighbor whose place cannot easily ‘be filled. The services, conducted by the Rev. E. Slackford, were deeply affecting and solemn. Every respect was shown to ‘the memory of the departed, who was held ‘in such high esteem; and we may hope that, in the llfe upon which he has entered, ‘having ‘merited the approbation of his fel- low-men while in the flesh, he has earned ithe Master’s ‘Well done, good and faithful servant,” and that freed from ‘‘all the ills ‘to which humanity is heir,” he has entered upon a higher service.
| To his sorrowing wife and bereaved fam- ‘ily we tender our sincerest sympathy.

Literary Notes.
’
The announcement that a new monthly ‘magazine will shortly make its appearance, hailing from literary Boston, is calculated to excite a general interest. 1t will appear ‘under the name of .The Boston Montily | Magazine; and while it will, in a sense, ‘compete with the standard periodicals of ‘its class, it is designed to vccupy a field ‘entirely its own. It will be purely Ameri- ‘can in tone and sentiment, dealing chiefly ‘with American subjects, by American ‘authors. It will present each month the | brightest and best stories, sketches, essays, ‘poems, and articles that the ** Young | Blood” among the literary workers of the 'country can produce—a long experience in ‘the publishing business having convinced ‘the projectors of the magazine that many ‘literary productions of remarkable merit ‘fail to reach the public solely because of ithe youth and obscurity of their authors, 'A chief feature of the earlier numbers will be a short serial story, of romantic and ‘thrilling interest, by a young writer whose ‘name already ranks with the highest among ‘American authors of fiction. The Boston | Monthly Magazine will consist of about 163 pages each issue, with cover of handsome ‘and tasteful design, and in typographical | and general appearance, as in the quality, lof its contents, is intended to be a worthy | peor of the leading magazine of the day. |The Boston Publishing Corporation, 46 | Winter Street, Boston, are the publishers land the projectors of this new enterprise, ‘which deserves the success it is no doubt destined to achieve. | The Guardian: ** A little book entitled *Ireland’s wrongs and other poems,’ has been laid upon our table by the author, ‘Jacob B. Dockendorff. It bears the im- ‘primature of the ExamINeR oflice, and is ineatly got up, and printed in fine clear jtype. From a hasty glance through its 79 ipages, we have nothing but a friendly ‘criticism to offer. The longest poem on '* The wrongs of Ireland’ is in ballad form; 'astory of the olden times in P. E. Island, ‘showing the evil of intemperance. Some ‘of the pieces are exceedingly good, notably ‘the one on ‘The hand of God.” Mr. Dock- ‘endorif is a young man of considerable |poetic talent. We congratulate “him on ‘this his first effort, and are sure that his bright and healchy verses will be read by many with interest and benefit.”

A press correspondent writes :—‘* Premier Fielding, head of the government, certainly was designed by nature for a great managing editor. I felt as soon as 1 locked at him and heard him talk that journalism had'sustained a loss when he entered public life. “Iam sure he has a latent humor which would evolve sparkling paragraphs, joined to an executive ability which would ‘keep the boys to their work.’ lHlowever, as it is easier to run an ordinary government than a big daily, he has probably chosen the better part.” Yes,—and itis more profitable to run a Grit govern- ment !
The death cf Judge Oliver at Ottawa, where he was attending ceremonies at Ottawa Col- lege, has drawn attention to a danger to which public men are frequently liable. The judge was exposed tothe keen October air in his bare head in connection with the unveiling of a monument to the late superior of the cellege. lt feil to his let, as president of the graduates’ society, to deliver an address on the occason, and this he did withoat the costomary cover- ing to his head, having removed his hat out of respect, as the practice is at these and similar ceremonies, Custom is pretty arbitrary in these matters, and few orators, delivering an address under these circumstances, would care to protect their bealth no matter how immi- nent the danger from catching cold might be. Adherence to the ru'e in this case has cost the country an able and respected member of the judiciary.
Prince Bismarck is in appearance now a jeeble old gentleman, a London correspondent writes. Measured by that of some of his great contemporaries, he is not so very advanced in age. He will not be seventy-five until next April Fool’s Day, which means that he is nearly fifteen years younger than Count Von Moltke, who is still hale and vigorous. Bis- marck, too, is six years younger than Gilad. stone, seven younger than Cardinal Manning, five younger than Leo XIIL, and ten ycars younger than Prince Gortchakoff was when he died. But he is not robust at all, and 1 believe that he frets a great deal over the fear that he may not last much longer. His face is waxen and flabby, and his hends are those of a very old man—yellow and swollen in the joints, and marked with unnaturally big blae veins. Heis once more becoming very fat abdominally, and Dr. Schweninger is at his wits’ end to keep this flesh down this time, for Bismarck is no longer able to walk much,
Cardinal Manning is as striking a preacher as he is a public speaker. Crowds always throng to the Catholic Cathedral at Kensing- ton when he is to presch, Ll remember once hearing him deliver there, says a correspon- dent of the New York Commercial Advertiser. a discourse on democracy in Europe. I dis- agreed with nearly every word he said, but I could-not help feeling the force of his argu- ment from the point of view not only of Catholicism, but of ordinary Anglicanism and conservatism generally. The intimate connec- tion of the European Revolutionary movement with materialism was dwelt upon with a force and vigor 1 have never heard surpassed. And the picture of the utter chaos of modern Europe, with its reign of brute force, its per- petual revolutions, its entire lack of any re- cognized moral authority, was enough to con- vert to reaction any man whose convictions were not based on pretty deep foundations,

The Italian Government has declared a protectorate over Abyssinia.
Thirty-five German authors were recent- ly asked to prepare lists of the greatest English authors. The result was as follows, the figures representing the number of ‘* votes” given to each author :-—
Votes. | V otes. Shakespeare, ......21 | Burms ............ 9 PRON 2... vevrcne 14 | Thackeray ........ 5 Pero 4 ero es 5 DORANG ic oss a0 Keke RG 1 Gu Fe cn ew's a d's ce 3 Macaulay ........-. AD. CORRE ons conics @ Rieti... -cchnicc le | sake ces Ge 8
The most conspicuous feature about this list is that it is just such a one as would be made by a popular assembly of English- speaking people, fairly well read, but not learned. The omission of Milton from a list which contains the names of Byron, Burns and Chaucer is rather remarkable. And it is strange to find the philosophical Germans giving only one vote to Bacon and eleven to Macaulay, and preferring Scott and Dickens to Thackeray, Carlyle and George Eliot.
The New York Hera/d’s Washington correspondent recently interviewed severai naval officers in regard to the dynamite gun. Commodore Sicard, Chiet of tlie Bureau of Ordinance, expressed the general opinion when he said: **The gun is too large and cumbersome. It takes up too much room, It is admirably adapted tor defending narrow passages and could be better utilized on shore than at sea. Te send a projectile a distance of two miles the gun has tu be elevated forty degress. This makes the curved firing necessarily in- accurate. With the high powered rifle the danger space is much larger on account of the line of fire being more accurate In a sea way, the air gun cannot be trained as well as the broadside and pivots now m use. The range of the dynamite gun is between one and a-half and two miles. An ordinary ship could lie off and batter the dynamite cruiser to pieces before she could get withinrange. I believe the dynamite gun will eventually be a great success, but it has not yet been suflicienty developed to be used aboard men-of-war. It can never, in my opinion, take the place of the modern artillery.”
