Remembered Rain, The rain is the tears of the past— Showers that refresh and renew,
He said to her; ‘I thought the world A meze without a clue; But the puzzle was solved. I found at last Truth mirrored in one drop of dew, Your tear of grief bejewelled the leaf Of my life, and told me true That doubt would die and dread fly past If tl might but comfort you !
The rain is the tears of the past, In memory tremble anew
Those wavering lines of watery light ‘Mid which the Springtime grew ;
While melting snows and vanished woes Together took their flight,
And the folted flower, with mist impearled, Bloomed in a single night,
She said to him: “Like rain the years Have ewept away our sorrow,
The years have passed, the rain is gone ; Earth laughs like a waking child
That sees in every breaking dawn The hope of a suuny morrow,
How often through remembered tears Our fairest hopes have smiled!”

Imperial Horse Ranches
Every now and again in British military circles, we notice an old,
troublesome questions cropping up— How would England horse army corps if called on to do so suddenly? Or
where would she find equine flesh enough of the right sort tor even a smaller body of mounted men than
what would be attached toa couple of army corps! England is a “aorsey” nation, no doubt; and for the horse in its individuality she has no equal, but when it comes to the matter of mount- ing a large body of men, the difficulty commences. Go the principal Fairs of England and Lreland, and you will be sure to find numbers of agents from foreiga governments—French, German, ete.,—picking up most of the likely troopers, and yet these nations will have
goverument horse-breeding establish- ments of theirown. Still with these
‘nest eggs” they pick up all they cao for a “rainy day.”” HKogland with ber grand old cheese-paring policy, cuts her cavalry down as bare as possible in time of peace, and then when there is a rumor of war, it is all “hurry skurry”’ with her to find ‘“‘re-mounts.” The con- tinental nations in many cases haye these “re-mount depots,” but in this Austria is par excellence. She has a number of depots, and they have been found to be great successes, The trouble in England is that the maximum price for troopers is forty pounds stirling (or about $195), while country gentlemen and farmers maintain that it is only by the greatest economy, and skill in man- agement, that they can produce @ good half-breed four-year-old colt for sixty ound, or $290
Ireland has been, up to thie, the chief
field for recruiting the skeleten ranks of the dragoons, but between the drain for foreign countries,and for tramways, aod the wretched lot of useless “weeds,” which have lately inundated the Green Isie, itis time that England should turn her attention to fresh fields) With the heavy, ominous war cloud continu- ally hanging over the continent, it be- hoves the British Government to be prepared for that day which will come
sooner orlater, and if the warniogs of |
such experts as Mr Tattersall, Col. Russell of the R yyal Dragoons, and others, be worth anything, the very first thing it should look to is where the supply of horseflesh is to come trom
To depend upon the home supply is evidently rather hazirdous, especially where there are no nursaries in the shape of “re-mount depots” to draw from, aod would it not be worth while for the Home Government to really make use of the Colonies in a wa in which they really could be of ser- vice ? It is all very fine on the spur of the moment, for the Colonies to offer contingents for Timbuctoo and other places, where it is clearly our duty to spend the last drop of our blood, but when “the blood of inconsiderate youth’ has cooled down a little, it will become painfully evident that those warlike tendencies are a delusion and a snare. But the Colonies could benefit the mother country by keepiog her cavalry horse d.
For instance, here in Canada—what would be easier than for the British
Government to have some large horse.
ranches out in the Northwest? By send- ing out a lotofthe cast mares which ureevery day being sold off for mere trifles for some slight blemish, a fine stud could quickly be got together, a stud could be maintained, and the young horses raised at a much less cost than athome in England. Then they might have a couple of depots down some- where convenient to the seaports, say in the admirably suitably Eastern Town- slips, when the four-year-old fit for ser- vice could be drafted to and broken ip. Here too, would be a good way of uti- liz ng some of the discharged dragoons of good character by putting them to take care of and train the young troop horses. Inthis way England would always have a trained (which is a great consideration) supply of horse flesh to callon whenever the evil day might come,
The sending of horses home is only a trifle now-a-days, and when a consigu- ment would be required they would be forthcoming and ready for use in a far shorter time than if they had to be picked up here and there and every- where, and then broken in, At ail events the matter is worth considera- ‘ho. Itis not when a country is hore de combat that she wants to go out aod \Jvis fur the horse for the combat.

This Cut represents my Patent Fire end and lhning partially drawn out,
King Ceoking Steve, with the even,
as it appears while be when a new fining is being replaced.
HE above Stove | invented and patented in 1876, and at the present time HUN- DREDS ARE IN USE, giving perfect satisfaction. A lerge number have been in contant use for eight years, and the repairs have been very trifling, in many instances none have been required. This valuable experience should be sufficient evidence of theiy durability, which is accounted for in the following :—It has, instead of a Lined Fire Box, two heavy Currugated Cylinders, which obviate the expense connected witn al] Square
Cooking Stoves of being compelled t> renew Linings and Grates, at least once or twice every year. The heat being radiated from the OCylin- ders to the floor, where most needed, overcomes a serious objection to all kinds of ordinary Coal Cooking Stoves. The Cylinders are situated
directly under the cover holes, and a fire may be made in one or both, thus adapting it for use either in winter or summer, with equal satistaction, besides effecting a great saving to fuel. I have also attached ths PATENT TELESCOPI® OVEN to all my Elevated Oven Wood Stoves, such as the Waterloo, Niagara, Star, &c , causing the thousands using them to exclaim—My Stoves are worth TEN DOL’)-ARS MORE than the same kind made by other foundries, The trade and retail purchasers will please bear in mind the fact that although a great advantage is claimed for my own Oven above all others, they cost no more, and being the sole manufacturer and patentee, no other f.undry can supply. En- quire for Fawcett’s Patent Telescope Oven, and it your dealer has none on hand send direct to the Sackville Stove Foundry,
I am adding several new and handsome Patterns this season, which, with my former large variety of One Hundred [ifferent Patterns and Sizes of Cooking, Parlor, Office and Hall Stoves, also Farmers Boilers, Hollowware, Ploughs, Stove Pipes and Tiuware, com- prise the most complete assortment offered by eny mannfacturer in the Lower Provinces.
