Many will read the following hymn with increased interest ov knowing it is from the the author of the famous ** Tom Brown’s School Days.” It is the only one he has ever published, and is

| Very characteristic of the author. Our boys }suould learn it by heart.

VU, God of Truth, whose living word Upholds whate’er hath breath, Look down on thy creation, Lord,

Euslaved by sin and death.

Set up Thy standard, Lord, that we, Who claim a beavenly birth,

May march with Thee to smite the lies That vex Thy groaning earth.

Ah! would we join that blest array, And follow in the might

Of Him, the Faithful and the True, In raiment clean and white ?

We fight for truth, we fight for God, Pvor slaves of ties aud sin !

He who would tight for Thee on earth, Must first be true within.

Then God of Truth, for whom we long, Thou who wilt hear our prayer,

Do Thine own battle in our hearts, And stay the falsehood there.

Still smite ! still burn ! till naught is left But G d’s own truth and love ;

Then, Lord, as morning dew come down, Rest on us from above.

Yea, come! then, tried as in the fire, From every lie set free, Thy perfect trath shall dwe] in us, And we shail live in Thee. a

A Review of the Health Officer's Report.

Sir,—Dr. Johnson, the Heatth Officer, whose report on the question of sewerage has appeared in your coluains, not only re- peats all the arguments in favor of dead weils but introduces new ones of his own, He says the horizontal and vertical move- ment of the ground water are ovntrolled by the tidal forces. Here he is in error, Ground water in this country, and every- where else, is to be found at different eleva- tions above sea level. Its fluctuations are not at all influenced by the sea, save and except to a very limited extent in low-lying iands near the shore, where the ground- water supply is very smal), and where no

tervene. Its rise and fali is governed in- variably by the rainfall of any given lucality, and its mean elevation by the nearness or remoteness from the surface of the ground of the water-bearing stratum. Tidal waters have little or no influence upon ground

water; atmospheric waters have much. means uniform. It has its depressions and elevations, found at varying distances from the surface. in some localities in this city, so near is it to the surface that it _actuaily finds its way into cellars.

In presenting the case, the arguments against the use of sewage wells have been

Health Otticer, while those have been ‘revised, proved,” la substance follows : found to fulfil all the requirements of per- fect drains ; that the foul water cann»t be returned to the surface, or if so, that eapil- lary action would involve purifying filira- tion ; that the conditions of great dilution, ow temperature and constant motion are unfavourable to the process of putrefaction, and that the gases generated would be held in solution by the ground-water, or if any became ‘‘ liberated” they would be «b- sorbed by the water of the upper strata ; that the danger of direct ascent of the **mephiie” sie through the latter is not greater than that from the best constructed svstem of* sowerage; that we possess ** special advantages ” as compared to other places in regard to the use of sewage wells, But, strange to say, the Health Officer makes no reference to the chief arguments advanced in rebuttal. It has been shown that a polluted ground water will inevitabiy produce polluted ground air, that allauthori- ties realize their mutual dependence in this regard. These are not theories but the result of painstaking experimentation by scientific men, who have devoted to the subject special attention and a life-long consideration, and have demonstrated these facts beyond controversy. But that the foul ground air is held in solution in the ground water is a theory, pure and simple, unsupported by test, argument or proof ; that the fuul gases generated are drawn into Thouscs from ‘*yreat depths;” that these foul gases are fixed products, that they are not «a part but the result of putre- faction; that they are changeless in charac- ter and wil! penetrate through the interstics of the earth, and seams or cleavage in clay or rock; nay. that they will pass from great distances vertically and horizontally even through cemented walls, and that vegeta- tion is the «nly chemical laboratory by which they can be rendered innecuous— such vegetation being absent in cities. While reproducing the argument of ‘* low temperature,” the Heaith Officer makes no allusion to the fact adduced on theo her side that putrefac'ion will take place at @ temperature of 41 deg., and even down to the freezing paint, and that the conditions uecessary to normal decon:position, viz: aeration, heat and moisture being largely wanting in the deeper strata. Putre*’-c- tion, sic w it may be, bat{n ver heless sure, will be the more virulent. (in passing, let

| dee: mposition and putrefaction

jalways be borne in mind.)

lother city where deep welis have been used jas receptacles for sswage, the Health auth- lorities make it imperative to have these lconstructed of impervious materials in ‘order to prevent leakage, and the conse- quer polation of the ground water and

barrier of stiff clay or impervious rock in-|

The impervious substratum is not by any |

but meagrely and partially noticed by the}...

me say, ‘hat the distinction between normal , should | That in every)

the ground water is so exceedingly slow as to require a period of twenty years for its

complete renewal. The unfounded and absurd assumption, that the danger of the direct ascent of foul gases

through the tuhes of sewage wells 1s no greater than that from the best constructed system of sewerage. 1s unworthy of notice ; for itis a fundamental Jaw that no pipe or tube can ever be safely made the conduit of sewage matter, the thorough ventilation of which is not secured, In all good sys- tems of sewerage this principle is never lost sight sight of, whereas im sewage wells, ho such ventilation is possible. The argu- |ment, also, »s to the ‘special advantage ” | We are supposed from some unknown and unexplained cause to possess is reproduced, | but the Health Officer makes no e#llusion to ithe proof to the country afforded by Mr. | Bain, who so clear y showed that the great- ,er part of this city is ill drained.

| The Health Officer’s opinion “that in the | present uucertain aud unsettled stite of the public mind, any authoritive interference’ would be ijl timed and ill-judged, is, to say ithe least, an extraordinary one. What | Pussible connexion can there be between /public opinion aud the scientific basis of jthe argument in this case? Either these wells are dangerous or they are not.

lf dangerous, they cannot be closd |too ~~ sown. If, on the other band

\they are of great ‘\sanitary value,” sand neither present nor remote harm jwill result from their use, why not ‘recommend their unviversal adoption; for, |no one knows better than the Health Officer jthat every household should be furnish. \ed with the means of disposing of its sew- jage by some method or another. This city, ‘to be fully equipped, would require at least 13,000 such suoxk wells, and at the average cost of $22 each the aggregate amount would be $66,000—a sum which I have ishown ina furmer letter wou!d procure @ guod and efficient sewerage system. It is also a great pity that Dr. Johnson did not ‘think well of recommending the immediate employment of a competent sanitary en- igineer upon whose decision the citizens |could implicitly rely, and thus the public /mind would be set at rest. Dr. Billings’ jadvice in all such cases is beyond doubt a salutary one, when he@says, ‘that a com- | petent sanitary engineer, who has made a |Special study of sewerage and house drain- | age, should be sought for and employed, ;no matter what his price might be;” ana jthat “‘the truest wisdom is to get such skilled advice whenever advice is needed.” 1 submit that nothwithstanding ali our ad- visers and theorists, such skilled advice is /nowhere more urgently needed than in our ; case,

The meeting was organized by calling the President, Mr. A. Martin, M. L. C , to the chair, aod the undersigned was appointed secretary.

The President stated briefly the object of the meeting, namely: the choosing of two suitable candidates to contest the Belfast District in the interests of the Liberal C. nservative Party at the forthcoming elec tion.

After some preliminary remarks Mr. A, A McLean, who worthily represented us in the late administration, was proposed, ;and with one exception unanimously elect- ed as one of the candidates to take the field in the forthcoming election. The discussion which f llowed ed that the delegates were desirous that the services of Mr. Martin, M. L. C., te secured, if pasible, in the Lower House where his tact and ability would have a wider range and more active play in advocating our claims and contending for our rights, so he generously bowed to the wish of the meeting and placed himself at their dispesai, who forth- with chose him by a hearty unanimous vote as a candidate to take the field in conjanc- tion with Mr. McLean for the approaching election.

fhe delegates parted feeling confident that if Belfast would be true te its interests the result on January 30th would be the triumphant return of our candidates,
