OUR NEW STUDIO,

we would inform them that we have now jocreased facilities for the production of first-class work, and are prepared to make Puorocrapus of a Slyle and Quatily that has never been before allempled in this Cily.

We have on exhibition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photograps f every variety, including the

BSAUTIFUL PHT) - SNAMEL he most beautiful style «f Photograph known, possessing a Sofiness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu ar elsewhere, and Capnot fuil to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct atten- tion to the beaulitul

Glace Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelied surface, and are practically indes- tructible, vnd will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they cau easily be cleaned, as they wil! not lose any of their beauty py being wet. ‘This valuadle quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable fur presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons cao bave one or al] of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtain. d elsewhere.

We give special attention to making Groups of Families, Societies, schools, &c

Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our *NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyon, Oil and Water Colors, bave made a favorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our cu ‘tomers makes some delay iu the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment. :

Photographs can be Obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring toe public that they will tiad our charges very moderate.

“BLESSED TO GIVE.”

The kingly sun gives forth his rays;

Asks no return, demands no praise;

But wraps us in strong arms of life,

And says distinct through human strife:

*“*tf thou woulds’t truly, nobly live, Give—ever give.”

The rustic flower, upspringing bright, And answering back tuat regal light, Fills all the air with fragrant breath, And writes in myriad lines beneath: “if thou would’st gayly, gladly live, Give—ever give.”

The merchant rain, which carries on Rich commerce ’twixt the earth and sun; The autumn mist; the springtide’s shower; All whispers soft to seed and flower: ** We know uno other life to live

But this—we give.”

Suggestive warnings crowd the earth; Gilad songs of labor, songs of mirth, From creatures both of held and air; Who, whilst they take their rightful share, Still truly chant: ‘* We chiefly hve To give—to give.”

Oh man! the gem and crown of all,

Take thou this lesson: Heed the call

Ut these less gifted creatures near;

The rather—that Christ’s voice most dear

Unce said, whilst here He déign’d to live: ‘* Blessed to give.”

THE TURK.

We copy the following from Harper's Haljf-Hour Series, entitled ‘‘ The Turks in Kurope,” by Edward A. Freeman, D.C. L., LL. D., late Fellow of Trinity Coilege, Oxford, Knight Commander of the Grand Order of the Saviour :—

The Turk, then, if he is only pressed by the right argumeuats, will yield all tiiat is wanted. But wiat is wanted: ‘Tie least that is wanted is that the direct rule of the Turk in Europe shall cease. In a word, enslaved nations of South-eastern Europe must-be delivered from the rule of force, and put under the rule of law. Government must be put in the place of brigandage. What kind of Goverumentis to be givea to those lands, under how many Gov- ernaments they are to be placed, are proper questions for the powers of Hurope to settle. it is for them to settie whether the Salvonic lands which are now under the Turk shall be joined to any existing state,or be formed into a new state or severai new states. It is for them them to settle, in like manner, whether the Greek lauds which are now under the Turk shall be joined to the present kingdom of Greece, or receive freedom in any other shape. it is for them to settle in what relations tie

‘lands shall stand to one another; whether

they shall be absolutely independent of the Turk, or whether the ‘i‘urk shall be allowed

to stay at Constantinople as a nominal lord over them, as he ia over Servia and Roumania.

All these are points of detail, very important

and difficult points some of them, and not to be settled off-nand. But one thing is a matter of principle to be insisted on at all hazards—

that the direct rule of the Turk over those

lands shall come toanend. It is a matter of

principle that those lands should be set free.

As for the best form for their freedom to take,

much may be said on many sides, But two points are, in any case, essential. Whatever is to be the form of Government in any of

these lands, the Turk must have no hand ia

choosing their governors; and no spot in any of the lands that are to be set free must be garrisoued by ‘Turkish soldiers. Unless these

points are insisted on, nothing will be gained ; the whole work will have to be done over

again.

The Turk must have no voice in the choice of the rulers of Bulgaria, of Bosnia. of Herze- govina, of Epeiros, Thessaly, or Crete, any more than he has in the choice of rulers in Servia and Roumania. It is not enough that his choice should ba approved by the Enuro- pean powers. The European powers may not agree, and difficulties and complications such as diplomatists are always afraid of are sure te arise. The Turk is very cunning. If he is al- lowed to have any voice in the matter, he will find some means to throw dust into the eyes of Europe, and carry out his own ends, It is not enough to say that the Governors must be Christians. There is a kind of Christian who is as bad as any Turk, who is always ready to do the Turk’s work for the Turk’s pay, who is ready to fight as his admiral or to lie as his ambassador. Such Christians the Turk will contrive to send as rulers, if he is allowed to have any voice m choosing them. The rulers of the Greek and Slavonic lands mast- be as little the nominees of the Turk as the princes of Servia and Roumania are now.

Besides this no Turkish garrisons must be allowed in any town or any other place of the lands that are to be set free. If Turkish sol- diers are allowed to enter those lands, their freedom will be a mere name, Wauerever the Turkish soldier treads, there is the Turk, and all his evil deeds. Experience proves this Aites Servia was independent in other things, Turkish soldiers still garrisoned Belgrade and other fortresses. The Turks did as Turks: they bombarded the city of Beigrade out of sheer wantonness, because Turkish soldiers had been resisted in the wickedness which Turks everywhere do. What theydid at Belgrade they will do anywhere else where they are al- lowed to abide. If the Turk is allowed to garrison any spot in the lands which are to be set free from his direct rule, freedom from his direct rule will be a mockery: nothing will be

are the great objects, which must be carried

out. lf they are not carried out, nothing will

be gained. And here it may be well to answer some of the objections which are comaonly made,

First, then, it is sometimes said that the whole thing is no affair of ours; that we are not called upon to go about through the world as knights-errant, looking out for wrongs to redress. This is perfectly true; but it is our duty to redress those wrongs which we have done ourselves, By waging a war on behalf of the ‘Turk, by signing a treaty which left the nations of South eastern Europe at the mercy of the Turk, by propping up the wicked power of the Turk in many ways, we have done a great wrong to the nations. which are under his yoke ; and that wrong which we have our- selves done it is our duty to undo.

Secondly, it is sometimes said that all in- terest and sympathy for the enslaved nations is mere foolish sentiment, and that we ought to think of nothing but our own interest in dealing with other nations. If people really mean tuat there is no such thing as right and wrong in public atfiairs, let tuem say so at once, and we shall know how to deal with them. Again, people who talk in this kind of way forget that men have hearts as weil as heads, and that men will therefore always be guided by their feelings, both in public and private matters. The only thing to be taken care of is, that they shail be guided by right and generous feelings. “And, after all, the really sentimental people are on the other side. it is the voice of reason and common sense which says that, as the Turk has shown himg self to be an incorrigible har, it is foolish to trust him. It is the voice of reason and com- mon sense which says that, as his rule has shown itself to be incorrigibly bad, it is both foolish and wicked to prop it up. The people who really are foolishly sentimental are those who have a kind of love for the Turk, who say that he isa ‘‘gentleman,” and so forth; and who, therefore, though he has lied nine hun- dred and ninety-nine times, would still be- lieve him the thousandth time.

Thirdly, there are some people who say the Turks are no doubt very bad, but that the Christians are just as bad, and have done things just as cruel. Now, as a matter of fact, this is not true; and, if it were true, it would be another reason for setting the Chris-

tians free; for, if they are as bad as the Turk,

it is the Turk who has caused their badness.

While other nations have been improving, the Turk has kept them from isproving. Take away the Turk who hinders improvement, and

they will improve like the others. The siave never has the virtues of the freeman; it is

only by setting him free that he can get them.

Fourthly, when we point out the evils of

the rule of the Turk, some people tell us that

Christian rulers in past time have done things quite as bad as the Turks. This is partly true,

but.aot wholly. No Christian government has ever gone on tor so long a time raling a badly

as ths Turk has ruled. But it is true that

Christian governments have in past times done particular acts which were as bad as the acts

of the Turks. But this argument, too, cuts the other way; for Christian governments have left otf doing such acts, while the Turks go on doing them still. The worst Christian govern-

ment is better now than it was one handred years ago or five hundred years ago. The rule of the ‘iurk is worse now than it was one hun-

dred years ago or five hundred years ago. That

is to say, the worst Christian government can reform, while the Turk cannot.

Filthly, it is sometimes said that we ought not to set free the Christians for fear that they

should do some harm tothe Moharamedans

who would be left in their land. Now, if the

question were really put, Shall a majority of oppressors go on oppressing the people of the laud, or shall the majority of the people of the land turn round and oppress the minority who

have hitherto oppressed them ?—this last wouwrl surely be the lesser evil of the two.

But there is no ground for any such fear. No one wishes to hurt any Mohammedan who will live peaceably and not hurt Christians.

No one wishes that any man, merely because he isa Mohammedan, should bein any way worse off than a Christian, or be put under any disability as compared with a Christian.

There is no reason why he should be. For the Mohammedan religion, though it does not command that Christians shall be persecuted, does command that Christians shall be treated as subjects of Mohammedans. But the Chris- tian religionin no way commands that Moham- medan shall be treated as the subject ot Chris- tian. Christians and Mohammedans cannot live together on equal terms under a Moham- medan government, because the Mohammedan religion forbids that they should ; but Moham- medans and Christians may perfectly well live together under a Christian government. They do so under the governments both of Engiand and of Russia. The few Moham. medans who are left in Greece and in Servia are in no way molested; there are mosques both at Chalkis and at Belgrade. But it is foolish to argue, as some people do, that be- cause men of different religions can ‘live to- gether under a Christian government, there- tore they can live ether under a Moham- medan government; tor both reason and the nature of the Mohammedan religion prove that it is not so.

Sixthly, some people say that we ought not to help the Christians im South-eastern Europe for fear lest the Mohammedans in India should rise against the English govern- ment here, on behalf of the Sultan, as caliph, or religious head, of all Mussulmans. Now, if it is right to help the Eastern Christians, we ought to help them, whether there is any sach danger or not. But those who know India best say that there is no such danger at all to be feared.

Seventhly, still more people say that we ought not to help the Eastern Christians, be- cause by so domg we play into the hands of Russia. They say that we are helping Russia to get Constantinople, and that if enia gets Constantinople our power in India will. come to an end, and that many other dreadful things will happen. And they go on to tell us that Russia is the wickedest and most erous

| England, that she has dealt wickedly by | Poland and other nations, that all the revolts against the Turk are got up by her intrigues, aud that therefore Russia is to be withstood aud thwarted and suspected in a way in which

| we should not withstaud or thwart or suspect -
