True.

_Trne to the promise of thy far-off youth,

| When all who loved thee, for thee prophe- | ~

sied A grand, full life, devoted to the truth,

| A noble canse by suffering sanctified. |

‘True to all beauties of the poet thought | Which made thy youth so eloquent and sveet ; True to all duties which thy manhood | brought To take the room of fancies light and fleet. ‘True to the steadfast walk and narrow way, Which thy forefathers of the covenant trod ! True to thy friend in foul or sunny day, True to thy home, thy country, and thy God! ‘True to the world which still is false to thee, And true to all—as thon art true to me.

True to the vow that bound us in the lane, That summer evening when the brown bird sang, Piercing the silence with sweet notes of pain® While echoes over all the woodland rang ; True to the troth we plighted on that day, Each to forsake all other for the one ; Cleaving together through the unknown way, ; Till death made void the union then begun. True to the love brought by a little hand ; True—though the patter of the childish feet

Loss hollows love, and love is still complete;

I can lift up mine eyes from tear-drops free,

For thou art true to all these things—and me,

Cost of Education.

Rach inhabitant of the United States pays $2.02 for the support of the public schools,and $1.30 for military purposes. These two items of expenditure in other countries of the world are as follows : —Prussia 5lc. and $2.29; Aus- tria, 34c and $1.39; France, 29c and $1.50; Italy 13c and $1.57; England and Wales, 66¢ and $3.86; Switzerland, 88c and $1. A writer in the Revue Pedagogique (Paris), who has visited Californio, gives these figures and then asks the question, ‘‘ If those scourges of so- ciety, antagonism and envy, are far from as- serting in California the force that they have in the States of Europe, is it not to be attri. buted in a yreat part to the effect of her pub- lic schools ?”

The Sugar Trade.

The Journal of Commerce concludes an article on ‘‘The Sugar Trade of Canada.” as follows : —‘‘ The hope of seeing the Canadian refiners resume operations cannot be deferred very long, as it is felt to be the duty of the new Government to indemnify the country for the loss of industry the preceding Administra- tion 1s said to have caused by its leaning to wards Free Trade. The re-opening of retiner- ies is the re-opening of the trade with the West Indies. With sugar as a return freight, the freight out will soon be found. What is the usual cargo of vessels leaving New York, for instance, for a port of Cuba or of the other Islands? Boards, shooks, hay, potatoes, a few coops of poultry, trunks, hardware, cheap furniture, Yankee notions, shoes and crockery are about the usual run of cargo. Is there anything in it Canada could not find within its borders ? and is not intercourse with other countries an incitement to the discovery of new articles of trade, to the creation of new wants, and, consequently, to the increase of exchanges conducive to mutual prosperity ? The resumption of sugar refining in Canada has, as a consequence, the revival of the di- rect trade with foreign countries.”

Suez Csnal.

More than three-fourths of the whole ship ping which has passed through the Suez Canal during the past eight years has been British. Some idea of the relative strength of other countries in this respect may be gathered from the statement for the year 1876, in which there passed through the canal 1,092 British vessels, 89 French, 60 Dutch, 55 Austrian, 51 Italian, 27 German, 26 Spanish, the remainder, 27 in number, belonging to various other na- tionalities. The total length of the canal is 92 miles. Its actual width, except where it traverses some of the so-called lakes, does not permit of two vessels passing or crossing each other in the canal itself. For this purpose, however, there are numerous sidings, which greatly facilitate the passage and hasten the voyage. The actual cost of the canal was £17,518,729, exciusive of bonds issued to pay for coupons or shares in arrear during part of the period of construction. It will be remem. béred thatof the whole 400,000 shares, 176,- 602, formerly belonging to the Khedive, were purchased by the british Government in No- vember, 1875, for the sum of £3,976,582. These British shares will not, however, be free from certain claims until the year 1894.

Jn Germany 50,000 acres of land are devot- ed to raising tobacco. The Government de- rives about $350,000 revenue a year from the product, the tax being about 50 cents per hun- dred weight. The duty of $3 per hundred weight on tobacco imported in the leaf, $8.25 on that imported in other forms, and $15 on imported cigars, pelds about $3,000,000 an- nually.

Pious young ladies in England now dis- tribute tracts in sealed and scented enve- lopes, through the mails or in person, and the delight of the young men receiving them and opening them with much secrecy and fluttering of heart is immense.

A TENANT had been importuned so fre- quently for his rent that in a climax of ex- asperation lie turned on the landlord with the cogent and conclusive retort : ‘‘Now, you needn't put on so many airs, old man. Why, I owe enough in this town to buy up all your old houses.”

Let the whole of the facts be put before the public, and we are sure men of common sense in both countries will arrive ata friendly agreement.” There is no other comments on tue subject by the daily or weekly press.
