She Manages Well the Farm.

She manages well the far,

This girl that is gently bred, Though scarce a score of happy years Have passed o’er her bonny head.

Fatherless, motherless, young, Left with a tender brood Of brothers and sisters small, She works for the children’s good.

So, up in the early morn, She’s out with a steadfast will; She visita the garden field and farm, And the orchard upen the hill. The butter from yellow cream Is made with her own fair hands; She works with a hearty will to keep This home with its fertile lands.

Show me a lovlier rose Than the flush of this maiden’s cheek, As she gathers the apples rosy and ripe Jr rides the black herse sleek; Shew me a fairer sight : Than this same worman’s hands, Busied at daily household tasks, As well as at tilling lands.

What though no father’s eye Sees that the work’s well done; Is not this woman brave and true, Faithful as shines the sun? Dressed in her homespun gown, Living a healthful life, Sewing goed seed. for aye, Whether as miid or wife,

The manages weil the farm, This maid with the deep blue eyes; With voice that charms like music rare, In her low and soft replies. Well will those children say In the distant years to come : ‘* Sister, you have done well; You saved us the dear eid home !”

Lady Macdonald’s Testimony on the Subject of Wine-Drinking.

AN INTERKSTING LETZER FROM THE WIFE OF THE CANADIAN PREMIER.

(From the Messenger of Peace, England.) —

_ Extract-of a letter written by Lad

Macdonald, wife of Sir John Macdonald, Premier of Canada, to a co-lavorer and | correspondent of Savannah, Ga.,—I was j myself led to give up wine-drinking after | some reflection, suddenly, at last, on (Christmas day, 1866. Ihad thought a “good deal on the subject, but never made ‘any decided reselution until this day,

oa at dinner with a large party, the

conversation turned total absti one apie wane Acad oe ater

temperate mau holding high office in our country (then and now) said that prac- ‘tically | TOTAL ABSTINENCE WAS IMPOSSIBLE ‘for any ove society. I said, laughiagly, “What a dreadiul statement; I quite differ from your” He took me up warm- ly, and several joined in, all without ex- | ception agreeing with him ‘a saying that the requirements of modern society were | such that no one could be so singular as ito become teetotalers without being more ‘or less ridiculous, and that the fatigues, |excitement and wear and tear of political ‘society life especially made the use of wine, in great moderation of course, -absolotely a necessity. I entered the lists, k scarcely know why, and declared I did not believe this theory. At last .the question was pressed more closely. |My friend, who bad begun it, said that ‘he did not believe even ‘you, yourself, ,Lady Macdonald, could or would give up your glass of sherry at dinner.” I asked ‘why not?” And he went over with great force and clearness all

THE SPECIOUS AND DANGEROUS ARGU-

MENTS

‘that are urged in support of drinking wine in moderation, ending with the re- mark that in Sir John’s public position my being a total abstainer would de him great harm politically. This seemed too morstrous, so I said (emptying my half glass of sherry into the finger glass as I said so) ** Well, I will try; hencefor- ward I enter the ranks of total abstain- ,ers, and drink to our success in water.” Since then, thank God, I have never found any necessity for wine. In health I can do my life’s work without any aid from dangerous stimulants ; in sickness | have inveriably and positively refused to touch it. I have sometimes, for weeks together, days of constant occupation and nights of almost all si:ting up.

POLITICS ARE EXCITING AND FATIGUING,

‘and every temptation to try stimulants is te de found in the late nights of listening to anxious debates, and the constant ‘necessity of being up to the mark late ‘and early. Ihave had a great deal of ‘nursing to do with a delicate husband and child, and this often during our busiest society season; and yet J have ‘never sought strength from wine at any single moment, aud my health is far bet- ter than that of so many'of my friends who take a glass of wine, or a little beer just to give them a little strength. Thus I give you my experience, as far as it goes, to show that

My husband’s long public career and. position only second to that of the Governor Gen. eral, the Marquis of Lorne, makes our family a prominent one in Canada.”

More Intemperance.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

On last Saturday evening, as the steamer “Southport” was leaving ferry wharf to proceed up the East River, a very ardent disciple of Bacchus, from Afton Road, a remote region in the rear of Scotch Fort, might be seen emerging fron: one of the city groggeries, and wending his devious way to said wharf, for embarkation in said steamer. On bis arrival at the wharf, he found the steamer out some distance from. it and proceeding on her voyage. With the significant declaration, ‘Ill s2on overtake that h—r,” he plunged madly in the tide, and swam in hot persuit. The steamer’s crew seeing his imminent danger, immedia- tely reserved the motion of the steamer, threw him a rope, and hauled him aboard. Even then his conduct was very disgraceful. He was a real nuisance to the passengers ali the way up.

Some two months ago another vandal from the same locality tortured +he feelings of a ladies and gentlemen on the same boat by his drankeness, blasphemy and obscenity; and on Tuesday last the Same creature out-herouded his former vagaries. He not only annoyed the pas- ngers, but on his arrival at ey Wharf he abused the ferry-man, the ferry boat, and went alrift on the river. Some of the neigh- bors, through charity, watched his move- ments, and fortunately the boat stranded a short distance from the wharf. On ap- proaching it they found the bold Ned fast asleep, and on their wakening him he violently threatened a sound igation to Por for daring to disturb his slumbers. think it is full time the Charlottetown police should bestir themselves and see that proper order be maintained on the city reeset, putieniay on the arrival and de- parture of passenger steamers, and unhesi- tatingly ae all persons under the in-

fluenee of liquor from landing or embark fexcept in proper custody paige “masters OF such steamers should also be :.ore jrigid in

enforcing discipline and deportment abeard. I believe, also, that a good flogging, lengthy and severe, would be but a mere token of the proper deserts of those two young out- laws who are still roaming at large.

By giving this a small cerner in your valuable journal you will ventilate a few facts, and much oblige,

Yours truly,

Lot 36, Sept. 14, 18831. The Shortest Road Across the Atlantic.

(The Capital, Fredericton.) The new steel steamship Parisian has made the veyage from Liverpool to Quebec faster by three hours and twenty minutes, than any passage on record. The enter- prise of the Allans in making “he magnifi- cence and comfort of their steamers rival the Cunard and other lines tha: run to New York, is sure to meet with an unlimited re- ward. It is quite certain that a Jarge share of the vast tide of American travel to Europe will come by way of the St. Lawrence, when the convenience and comfort of travellers is as much coneideration as on other lines. Five

{days from land to land--eight days from

port to port, will prove an overwhealming attraction to that vast number of people who dread a sea voyage. The part of the voyage along the St. Teen. and near to the straits of Bellisle, is mere inland navi- gation, with the advantage of being sur- rounded by some of the finest scenery in the world.
