[ Written for the Examiner. ] A Hundred Years Ago.

All honour to the men that swung The axe with vig’rous blow,

And cleared the forest for our homes A hundred years ago.

They asked no aid from Church or State, But trusted their strong arm,

And an ever-watehful Pravidence To shield them from all harm.

Then let us yield the honour due To the hardy pioneers,

Who braved the ills of savage life Through all these trying years.

They sighed not for their native glens, Nor Erin’s vistas green,

Nor yet for Devon’s sunny fields, — Alas! the ocean rolled between.

Ah! they were men of iron will, Who grasped the axe and hoe,

And trod the howling wilderness A hundred years ago.

The rude huts by the river side, Our hardy father’s reared,

Time’s ruthless march has swept away All, all have disappeared.

Where once the firs and dark pines waved, The golden harvests grow, Thanks to the men who lived and toiled A hundred years ago. SOoTsMAN.

The New Cabinet.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

(Chignecto Post. )

The new Government is formed, and writs have been issued for the re-election of the Ministers, which takes place on the 11th Nov., nomination being on Monday week, Nov. 4th. It must be confessed that Sir John has aec- complished a formidable undertaking. The difficulty that confronted him was not the poverty of talent which, in Mr. McKenzie’s case, compelled him to accept men of inferior type, as Coffin, Ross, Laflamme, Smith, etc., as Privy Councillors; but it was the very su- perabundance of brilliant men who are the recognized leaders of his party, that embar- rassed him, Distinguished statesmen like Thomas White, Caron, Robitaille, McPherson, McLellan (Colchester), Colby, Ryan, Trudell, McDougall, and others, s equal in ability, in experience and in publie confidence with (excepting Tupper and Tilley) any to whom he has given Cabinet seats, The Greek General looking at his war-scarred veterans of a hundred victories said, ‘‘They are all he- roes.” Sir John, in like manner, might well say, ‘“They are al] statesmen.” Not even at the time when he formed the first Government of Canada, and when it seemed that éach Province gave its very best blood to uphold his arms, was Sir John A. McDonald more for- tunate than he is to-day in possessing the sup- port and confidence of such a numerous and

werful body of representative Canadians. cs Masson and Langevin, he has both the Conservative and Liberal heads of the French Catholics; in Bowell, he has the Grand Master of the Urange body, thus uniting interests ap-

ently hostile. By the Provinces he has Gobet not less successful, P. E, Island ought to feel satisfied. Nova Scotia could not be better me _ a Provinces in ing the four in partmen viz., Pinasos! Public Works, Justion and Ma. rine and Fisheries, as a whole ceuld not justly demand more.

It is quite natural that the Russian press should be excited over the events which are taking place in Afghanistan. A St. Petersburg journal recently said that, in case of the Ameer’s defeat, “‘the fiction of a neutral country intervening between the Russian and the British sentinels will cease to exist.” Another went so far as to sa that ‘‘whatever may happen, Russia wi never permit the incorporation of Afghanis- tan by the English,” and that ‘‘she will de- clare war upon us rather than to permit us todo away with the Ameer.” We with the ‘‘Times” that it would be folly to attach any importance to such idle vapour- ing, which is worthy of notice only because it brings to light the relative interests possessed by England and Russia in Afghan- istan.

Tue CHARGE AGAINST THE GLAsGow Bang Directors. —These Directors are charged with ‘‘having, on various occasions, between the years | 3 and 1878, by fraudulently falsify- ing the books of the City of Glasgow Bank, representing large sums of assets as assets of the said corporation, which were not truly so ; that they falsely, fraudulently and wilfully understated the liabilities of the bank, and by

reparing false balance sheets, repeating said false statements, and. submitting same to the shareholders, and concealing from the share- holders and the public the true state of the liability of the banking company in question,” It is stated that while the charge was bei read some of the Directors shed tears, and a

locked sadly broken down.
