DATLY MEAMINER, OCTOBER 18. 1295.

Lament in rhyme, lament in prove, Wi’ saut tears trickling down your nose, — Burns.

Merchants with their bills are calling, Autuma leaves bestrew the ground, Crabbed wives, and children squalling,

Baili™s sneak like foxes round. Winter stern apace js coming, And to crush unhappy man Prosecutors sharp and cunving “ly y captured Mary Ann,

Once our bearts wi re etrong as thunder, Thinking not : f grief or care ; Time was spent in sport and slumber, And our means in drink and wear, Heavy gloom has settled o’er us, Gone, alas! the foaming can, And the jovial. swelling chorus, Fall of joy for Mary Ann,

High domestic strife prevailing Forced us oft to ** t-e the scratch,”

Still our wives, by dint of railing, Proved themselves an overmatch,

Vexed by this unhappy treatment, For to spite them off we ran,

Sunny smiles and flowing tankards Hicd us then to Mary Ann.

Whiskey gone and social pleasure, Greater ills cin scarze betide ;

Life with cares a brimming measure Presses hard on every side.

But we wiil await their coming, Trying every wily plan

Known to Pettifoggers cunning To restore us Mary Ann.

Colonial Exhibition in Loudon, Rng ,

1886. FIFTY-FOUR THOUSAND FEET RESERVED FOR CANADA.

FIRST ROYAL EXHIBITION CON. MISSION SINCE 1562.

THE COLONIAL AND INDIAN EXHIBITION to be held in LONDON, England, commenc- ing MAY Ist, 1886, is intended to be on a scale of great magnitude, having for object to mark an epoch in the relations of all the parts of the British Empire with each other.

In order to give becoming significance to the event, a Royal Commission is issued for the hold- ing of this Exhibition for the first time since 1862 ; and His Koyal Highness the Prince of Wales has been appointed President by Her Majesty.

The very large space of 54,000 square feet has been alloted to the Dominion of Canada by com- mand of the President, His Royal Highness.

This Exhibition is to be purely Colonial and Indian, and no competition from the United Kingdom or from foreign nations will be per- mitted, the object being to exhibit to the world at large what the Colonies can do.

The grandest opportunity ever offered to Can- ada is thus afforded to show the distinguished place she occupies, by the progress she has made in Agriculture, in Horticulture, in the Industrial and Fine Arts,in the Manufacturing Industries, in the Newest Improvements in Manufacturing Machinery, and Implements, in Public Works by Models and Designs; alsoin an aaequate ae ed of her vast resources in the Fisheries, and in Forest and Mineral wealth, and also in Shipping.

All Canadians of all parties and classes are in- vited to come forward and*vie with each other in endeavoring on this great occasion to = Canada in ber true place as the premier colony of the British Empire, and to establish her proper posi- tion before the world.

Every farmer, every producer, and every manu- facturer, has interest in assisting, it having been already demonstrated that extension of trade always follows such efforts.
