‘THEY PREACH NO’ THEMSELVES, BUT CHRIST.” Strong in a strength beyond their own ‘They come in manhood’s prime, With glowing strains and loftiest tone To tell the theme sublime.

Unthralled by sect, unmoved of praise, They wield the spirit’s sword;

High o’er dictates of man they raise The banner of the Lord

Long may their emblem ‘‘God is Love” Float o’er the gospel fold,

Where hearts and hopes are raised above Karth’s dross to heaven's pure gold.

Where Grace descending bends the knee And bows the head of pride.

And yields the soul forgiveness free Through Christ the Crucified.

Yours may be deaath, or woe, or pain, Yours may be shame and loss,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Protection of the Fisheries.

A DENIAL.

EXAMINER cruls-

Srr,—-I notice in yesterday’s an article charging the Government ers with negligence in their duty in not protecting the Island that the American fishermen were taking fish inside the limit on Saturday last off Miminigash. Now, as far as parties who are employed to protect the fisheries can iscertain, the whole matter is a falsehood. The Government cruiser Howlett was at Miminigash all day Saturday between Cape Wolf and Horse Head, and the Nova Sco- | tian fishermen were inside the limit and | the Americans outside. Capt. Lorway of the Howlett fired a shot ata schr. fishing inside for not showing their ensign when

‘To Messrs. Meikle and Gerrior, of

signaled so to do, he then manned his boat nd rowed in (as it was calm at the time) and discovered that it was a Halifax schr. which, with a large number of others from N. S., were fishing inside, but as the master vasa very bigoted Gritheignored allauthor- ty, and would not show his colors when requested. Capt. Lorway with H. M. Howlett arrived at Alberton from west shore Sunday evening and reported none but N.S fishermen inside. H. M. Critic and $8. S. Lansdowne are on the west side protecting the N. B. and P. E. I. shores. H. M. Conrad is stationed around the Bay

Chaleur. The Howlett is between North Cape and East Point principally.

There are 125 American fishing vessels in the Bay now, mostly for second _ trips, and they all report that the cutters keep them more then three miles off the land, All the stories we hear about fishing ‘insidé the limit are mostly buncomb, and every schr. fishing inside if she don’t hail from Charlottetown must, of course, be an (merican in the eyes of our Grit friends, and when those same parties are asked to prove to their information they cannot do it. If they did prove that a certain Ameri- can schr. fisfed inside the limit, there would be no risk about seizing said schr. Most of the true patriotic people here around the coast believe that the Americans are kept off, especially when you observe two fleets of schooners one inside the other outside sailing around the shores.

Yours truly, One Wuo Knows.

A Regatta.

Simn,—Why is there not enterprise enough in our citizens to get up a regatta, when there are so many yachts and sailing boats in our harbor, besides a great number of row boats and scull ?

AQUA,

Lost in the Wood.

The people of River Philip, Que., says a correspondent of the Halifax Herald, were thrown into a state of excitement on Satar- day evening by the report that three small children, aged respectively 10, 5 and 24 years were lost in the wood. As soon as possible about one hundred men _ were searching the woods in all directions until one o'clock Sunday morning, when the moon went down and further search until daylight, was useless. Inthe meantime a messenger Was despatched to Oxford for more men, and Hugh McLellan threw open his house, and by the help of other friends the hungry men were fed. About daylight fully two hundred men were again on the alert, and the wood was searched in every direction for about two hours, when the rain began to fall in torrents and every one was getting discouraged, but after an hour or two more search the little girl aged ten, appeared carrying the baby on her back. She says that after they found they couldn't get home she took of her flannel shirt and wrapped the younger children up in it and they slept until daylight, when, no doubt, guided by the noise she was able to find her way home. They do not seem to be any the worse for their night’s rest in the open air. Two of the children were son and daughter of Frederick Oxley; and the other a daughter of A. Hodson.

a DPespondency and Suicide.

Word was received at Fredericton, N. B., on the 10th, that Edward Kelly, of Kitchen settlement, parish of Prince William, had committed suicide by hanging himself. He disappeared from home on Friday and nothing was thought of the same until Sat- urday morning, when his wife became un-

Boston Steamers,

—

The Managers of the Bosten, Halifax and Prince Edward Island Steamship Line have to-day wired that, “Owing to the accident to the Gate City, it will become necessary to withdraw the Merrimack from the Eastern line to fill her place for a short time. In consequence of this the Carroll and Worcester will sail once a week on the same schedule as formerly.

“The management regret exceedingly being compelled to make this change, at this time, as it is their intention to increase and improve the facilities of the Eastern line.”

The Merrimack will, therefore, leave here at 6 o'clock to-morrow (Thursday) Evening, and will net return until further notice, after this week. The Carroll or Worcester will leave Charlottetown at 6 o'clock on THURSDAY EVENINGS, and Boston at NOON on SATURDAY, as form-
