(WRITTEN FoR THE EXAMINER. } Sweet Briar.

How strange: a sound, a look, a tone,

A flitting smile just seen and gone,

The scent of flowers, remembered words, Oft waken memory’s sleeping chords.

Upon the old home mantle shelf, There stood a cup of common delf, But it contained a treasure rare, A bonnie posie, fresh and fair.

Wallflower, cowslips, daisies bright, Bluebells, white heather and flourish white; How their presence lit the room,

Shedding forth a rich perfume.

Eager eyes soon spied the cup,

Eager fingers raised it up,

Eager nostrils smelled the flowers, Brought from woods and shady bowers.

Quick the fragrance of the briar Touched the chords of memory’s lyre; Softly o'er the strings did stray,

Till fancy heard sweet music play.

Far away where wild flowers grow, Bright as in the ‘‘ long ago,” Where the Cuckoo’s note is heard, And the song of many a bird.

Where the river murmurs by, "Neath a sunny azure sky;

W here is found the primrose pale, Sweet briar scents the evening gale.

But alas! some one has spoken, And the entrancing spell is broken; Down again the flowers are set, But I feel their fragrance yet. M. A. J.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

A Complaint.

Sir,—Having a few complaints to make about our rulers, | know of no better way of giving them publicity than publishing them in your widely circulated and popular paper. Iam going to speak of the settle- ments of China Point, Cherry Valley and Gallas Point (adjacent districts), of the great inconvenience we have to suffer for want of wharf, road and other accommoda- tions. Our only wharf for shipping at is China Point wharf, where the Heather Belle is due to call tri-weekly to and from Charlettetown. This wharf has been unfit for use for over two years, the outer end having settled down two feet below ordin- ary high water mark, and has become so rotten that it is totally unsafe for further use; so much so that the steamer cannot call there any more, even to take passen- gers. My next complaint is: We have no post office nearer than five miles. It is true, for two years we had a semi-weekly mail two miles nearer, but for some cause or other it is now discontinued. Our next trouble is: Six years ago we had a new road granted, leading from the Western to Eastern Gallas Point Road, and connecting directly with the road leading to the wharf, which would be a great accommodation to three-fourths of the people in the above- named districts. This road, Sir, beneficial as it would be, is not finished yet, while our children have to travel over it in all seasons to school, while all it would require to build and finish it from the first would be less than two hundred dollars, if pro- perly expended. Now, Sir, is this the treatment we deserve? I think not. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for your valuable space,

I remain, yours truly,

Gauias Pont. Eee

Another Invention.

The London Times of July 20 has the following explanation of a new level cross- ing signal which has received the approval of several railway engineers: ** An electric alarm for protecting the public using level crossings on railways has been devised by Mr. William T. Folks, of 30 Mark Jane, London, at whose office we recently inspect- edalarge working model. At a given distance from the crossing a spring, placed by the side of the rail, is compressed by the wheels of the engine passing over it. This turns on tbe current and starts an electric bell which is placed at the crossing point, and which continues ringing until the train has cleared the crossing and has reached a point at a given distance beyond it. Here the flange of the engine wheel encounters snother spring, which com- presses and sends another current back to the bell which causes it to cease ringing. We thus have an apparently simple and easy means whereby the public may be pro- tected against the dangers of level crossings, for the bell is set ringing before the train reaches the danger point, and does not cease until it has well cleared it. The gist of Mr. Folk’s invention consists in the em- ployment of the current sent by the pass- ing train, not for the direct purpose of ringing the bell, but indirectly for turning on the current which is to ring the bell. The invention is said to have received the approval of several railway engineers.

-Diseases of Wine Tasters.

The diseases of wine tasters were studied by Donnet, of Bordeaux, aud Dr. C. Mar- andon, of Dijou. Wine tasters are fre- quently suffering with disturbances similar to alcoholism, although the claret tasters do not swallow the wine, but, on the con- trary, eject it, and even rinse their mouths afterward. In one case of Dr. Donnets, a man 32 years old, used to taste every day 30 or 40 samples of wine, occassionally liquors and rum, without ever swallowing any part of them. After two years he be- came very excitable, lost his appetite, did not sleep well, and suffered with disturb- ances of sensibility, pains in the breast, a feeling of weakness, difficulty in breathing. He improved after abandoning his profes- sion, although a nervous debility still re- mained, as noticeable by the facility with which he was set in tears.

_ Another statement made by Dr. Donnet is the great number of apoplexies in Bor- deau, where many persons drink one and a half litres of wines with each meal. This number exceeds the number of apoplexies in any city of the world.

Opposed to Amalgamation,

A dispatch from Windsor, N.S. of the 3rd says: The board of Governors of Kings College met yesterday and by a resolution passed unanimously resolved} to maintain the college according to the original foun- dation. This resolution will be com- municated to the press. Mr. Arnold Miller, of {Parkdale, Ontario, who comes recommended with! the highest testi- monials, was appointed head master of the collegiate school. Mr. Jones, a for- mer student, and recently from Ger- many, where he has obtained [the highest testimonials at once of the Universities, was appointed professor of modern languages— anew chair. The utmost unanimity pre- vailed and the strongest determination was expressed to sustain and extend the college in accordance with the provisions of the charter and the acts of incorporation. The claims of New Brunswick on the college were fully recognized and amply provided for.

Hereditary Inebriety.

In the International Congress of Anthro- pology, held in this city last month, among the papers read was one contributed by Dr. Norman Kerr, of London, President of the Society for the study of Inebriety, upon hereditary iaebriety. The paper, which was read by Dr. Lewis D. Mason, of Brook- lyn awakened much interest. Heredity, it was aflirmed, was the most potent cause of those leading to Inebriety. ‘* Fullyone- half of inebriates,” says Dr. Kerr, ** have had this fatal inheritance handed to them.” Again he says: ‘*A morbid state of organ or tissue may descend. Thus, the first child of inebriate parents may be an idiot, the second an, epileptic, the third a neuro- tic, and the fourth an inebriate. The here- dites are so powerful that the health his- tory of inebriates should be carefully traced, so that proper allowance could be made for the physical inability under which many suffer.” The lesson of this paper emphasizes very strongly the wisdom and duty of total abstinence, especially for all {those who would assume parental re- sponsibilities. —-National Temperance Advo- cate.

‘‘ John,” responded his wife, ‘1 would make it hot for you.”

As her words admitted of more than one interpretation, John said nothing more about the coffee. —T'ime,

‘‘ What if I were one of those husbands, my dear, who get up cross in the morning and bang things around and kick like everything just because the coffee is cold?”

The Opposition journals are kind enough to say that the drought in Central Ontarid is due to want of rain. It is about the only evi! they have not charged to Sir John Macdonald.— Empire.

There is no truth in the report that the great White Pasha, said to be marching on Khartoum, is none other than our own Hon. D. Mills. Mr. Mills is not that kind ofa man. He does not lose himself in the desert—it isthe wildering mazes of an argument that carry him away every time. —Empire.

‘“We must curtail expenses,” said the husband to his sweet wife. ‘* Indeed, and I don’t see how anybody could be more saving than Iam. We've got a family of four of our own and two servants, and yet I manage to get along, my dress bills and all, with only a little over $200 a month.” “And [get asalary of $100 a month.” ‘“ Well, you must get them to raise your salary. You have the least management about you of any person I ever saw. Oh, if I only were a man !”—Exchange.

This story is told by the Pall Mall Gazette of Dean Burgon, who on a certain occasion, not long ago, was expatiating on the nature of man. He pointed out that one great distinction between human beings and the lower animals consisted in the capacity for progress. “* Man,” exclaimed the Dean, warming to his theme, “isa progressive being; other creatures are sta- tionary. Think, for example, of the ass ! Always and everywhere it is the same creature, and you never saw 4 more perfect ass than you see at the present moment.” ee
