A rew days ago we published compara- tive statements of exports from this Prov- ince since 1876. To-day we furnish a comparative statement —prepared and kind- ly furnished by Mr. McKenna, of the Customs Department—of imports into this Province since 1876. The statement does not include the large and yearly increasing quantities of geods obtained in other parts

We need not apologise to our readers for brinuing to their notice and memory the following exynisite fable from the pen of the Save of Chelsea :

We read the following very . diatracting atatemeut in an article in the last Canadian Monthly, by Mr. William Norris :—~

‘““We are on the eve of startling events. Public opinion in Canada has come to the gonclusion that something must be done, or some chau re made, to meet the crisis that is approachivg.”

The only consolation we can afford our- selyes unier the circumstances, is that the Very same ‘“‘ crisis” has been ‘* expected’ about one hundred times in the last twenty years ; aud as yet we see no signs of its zoming. Nevertheless if is just as wel! that Mr. Norris shouid “sing out,” if his eyes are |etter than everybody else’s.

are quick, But we most emphatically deny that this quickness is a sign of true genius. rheir quickness, to them, is as mechanical as tinkering a kettle,shoeing a horse, or suc- cessfully arranging a shirt front. They strike the harp of learning with their rapid bravura and fortissimo; but they co not s‘rike, and scarcely ever learn to strike it, with a hero’s streng'h and grace.

Why this disquisition on the quick ones ! Becanse we would urge the claims of the ** plodder,” (not of either the dunce or of | the sluggard), but of the boy who buckles | ou his iarness for trae work, and always | finds his work hard. In such an one, the. mind is sustaining a severer mental discip. | line, and consequently nursing the germs of | genius. For whatis genius! A leading modern writer answers; ‘‘ Genius is at first. ‘tittle more than a great capacity for receiv: | ing discipline.”
