The C’Deng ue Amnesty.
WHY If Was ANNOUNCED AT
TIME-—--MR. BLAKE'S INCONSISTENCY.
[Gy Special Telegraph from the Mail Cor- respoudent.
Orrawa, Nov. 23.—The announcement
that an anmesty has been granted to O’Do- noghue after the almost fiendish manner.in which he was denounced by the late Minis- ter of Justice, Hon. Edward Blake, has taken everyone by surprise. The first ink- ling of an anticipated pardon was from v speech made by Mr. Devlin, who was in Uttawa a few days, and upon going to Quebec, thus referred to the matter -— ‘An application has been made by the Dominion Government to the Imperial authorities for an amnesty to 0’ Donoghue, and the news of the latter having been granted may reach this country ina very few days.” Naturally enough people were curious to know the ins and the outs of the matter, politicians, as a general thing, dishelieving Mr. Devlin’s assertions, as Mr. Blake, both in 1876 and 1877, declared upon his res- ponsibility as a Minister of the Crown that it would be utterly impossible for the Gov- ernment to recommend clemency in his case. In 1876, speaking upon the subject and opposing Mr. Costigan’s motion, said (see Hansard, March 25th, page 799) :-—
‘‘What was the attitude of the three chief actors at that time? On the one hand they found O'Donoghue leading an insur- rection against Her Majesty’s subjects, while the others were found on the opposite side. The act of O'Donoghue on that oc- casion was such as precluded the House from taking a favorable view of his case.” Again :
‘The House is bound to consider the whole position and attitude of any person to who it was prepared to extend the prero- gative of mercy. I maintain that the con- duct of O'Donoghue was such as to disen- title him to any favorable consideration at the hands of this House, or -of the Crown.”
Again :
“I do not think the House would be disposed to say that it would be the duty of the Government to institute an inquiry into the facts alleged by O'Donoghue in his letter, in order that justice might heA----"

The motion of Mr. Costigan fora pardon on two occasions was voted down by a Government majority, first of one hundred and second of forty-five ; while the ex~Minisier of Justice declared that the conduct of O’Donoghue precluded the possibility of a favorable view being taken of the case. Then Mr. Blake got out of the way, and his successor in oftice did the job, not to help poor O’Donoghue, but tohelp poor Mr. McKenzse’s Government. The fact that an amnesty was applied for was suppressed while Mr. Laurier and his friends were appealing to the Protestants of Drummond to elect him, because he was opposed to clerical or national influences of any kind. But it now published to assist him in securing the Irish votes in Quebec East. He will not get them, however, as he has already mortally insulted every [rishmanein the division. —~ —~—2 600 eo —
The Perils of the Poor.
Men of means, who have money to pur- chase every luxury which heart can crave, are most emphatic in their condemnation of the poor when they are driven into ex- cesses, The rich, who prate of their moral- ity, and contrast their conduct with that of the poor ignore the fact that they have no excuse for crime—that they have merely to wish for a purchaseable commodity and it is theirs. Not so with the poor workman who has to support = family. To procure the common necessaries of life, even in prosperous times, when the demand for labor is great, the humble workman must constantly exercise rigid economy. Take these facts into consideration, you favored sons of fortune, and you will not too harsh- ly denounce those who drift gradually into immorality through the force of necessity, and sometimes through sheer desperation. You who grow fat and strong upon the lux- uries of the land, should reflect before you condemn. Think of the temptation of the poor :—
‘** What’s done we partly may compute,
But know not what’s resisted.”
+= DON’T BE TOO CRITICAL.
Whatever you do, never set up for a critic. We don’t mean a newspaper one, but in pri- vate life, in the domestic circle, in society. It will not do any one and it will do you harm—if you mind being called d ecable. If you don’t like any ene’s nose, or object to any one’s chin, don’t put your feelings into words. If any one’s manner doe3 not please you, remember your own. People are not all made to suit one taste; recollect that. Take things as you find them, unless you can alter them. Even a dinner, after it is swallowed, cannot be made any better. Continual fault- finding, continual criticism of the conduct of this one and the speech of that one, the dress of the other and the opinions of t’other, will make home the unhappiest place under the sun. If you are never pleased with any ‘ne, no one will be pleased with you. And if it is

Nor 169,
lhe Iniportencoe of Fire.
Unquestionably the most uuportant dis-
Corery ever made by man was that of kineél- t permitted the geographical distribution of our species over a wider space ; it rendered intellectual development possible.
What would be thé result if the art of kindling and keeping upa fire were sud- denly lost ?
If we can have an answer to that ques- tion, we may perceive with some distinct- ness what it was that took place in con- sequence of the origmal discovery of that art.
The geographical distribution of plants and animals depends altogether on the distribution of heat. A certain ldw de- gree of temperature limits the life of every species, and there fixes boundaries to the region in which it cannot exist. The orgenization of man is so delicate that throughout a large portion of what we call the temperate zone he could not withstand the rigor of winter. His indi- vidual powers are so restricted that he could not become to any great dogree an animal of passage. He has neither the flight of the bird nor the endurance of the buffalo. He could not like them, pursue the northward journey of spring when the sun crossed the line, nor the southward journey of autumn when the sun recrossed it. The structure of his teeth and his di- gestive organs is such that he must carry his food with him. A pigeon ean fill his crop with rice in Carolina, and breakfast the next morning in Canada: The buffalo can find ample supplies in the luxuriant prairies of the West.
A loss of the art in question means, then; practically an abandonment of a large portion of America, Europe and Asia. The winter's cold of such regions would rénder them as uninhabitable as are the icy pinnacles of that emi tiction of modern nautical fancy, the aleocrystic Sea.
Then the human race could not have spread from its original tropical home had it not pos- sesssed the control of tire, which gives it the power of creating artificial climates, and rais- img the mean temperature of winter,—Hur- per’s Magazine,

To Young Men.
It has been said, and truly, that a man is i t may be said, with equal truth, that bad habits are oar worst - enemies. How they steal on us almost un- consciously and securely fasten themselves tous! What tremendous efforts it takes to rid owiselyes of them when once we haye yielded. In one. of the great churches in
Naples we looked upon a form in marble that we shall never forget. The statue is called ** Vice Convinced,” and represents, in life-size, a man struggling with tremend- ous éffort to break loose from the network of evil habits that completely enveloped him. The net is represented by a cordon of open-work marble about him. A mas- ter’s hand has wrought out this wonderful piece of statuary. A strong man in the prime of manhood finds himself completely encircled, bound hand and foot, by bad habits. The net-work is complete. There seems to be no possible escape from its meshes. But under the inspiration of a new purpose, that seems to have come to the man from the face of a beautiful angel, with a mighty effort he has succeeded in breaking asunder the coils that are ahout him. Every muscle is at a tension, every of the entire form seems conyulsed in the fearful-struggle.. But he has been suc- cessful, and a radiant smilie of joy and relief lights up his face. Never before had he so fully realized the power and tyranny of a habit, and how utterly impossible it is te break lose from a bad one. Every day we meet on these streets men, who, though rich, would give all their treasures in a moment could they rise above the power of an evil habit. Only the other day a citizen fled away from our city to a distant part of the country hoping, as he said, to get rid of the temptations that were about him.
The formation of correct “habits in early life is comparatively easy. In a word, if you would become model characters you must discard all bad habits, all that is un- gracious or ungrateful in word, or deed, or manner In order to do this you must study constantly yourselves, and if possible be under the influence and shadow of good men and women. Read, in hours of re- creation, good books. Shun, as you would a deadly poison, the impure literature that is more or less abroad. Pass by, on the, other side, always, when invited ‘to take a social glass with a friend. Bear about with you the conscious dignity of manhood, not in a vain, but in a modest, yet positive way. Never sacrifice principle for place. Embark in no business scheme that has not a fair promise of moderate returns. Never spend |that which you have not got. Don’t dis- count the future, it may not be yours.
