Beauty in

rm : ro i cars.

Beauty in tears! It was but a g’ance,

That glance, tho’ hurriedly stolen, Revealed to our gaze such a dear little face, With weeping distorted and swollen,

Beauty in tears! No knight errants were we, Yet we sternly looked round us for him,— The bloodthirsty Bluebeard, the cause of such grief,

We would get our six-shooters in trim !

Gently, ah gently. our chivalric friend, Just think where your rashness is leading; There’s nothing amiss, the dear little goose, sensational trash had been reading.

Oft in the spring, o’er the rich glowing West The storm cloud suddenly lowers,

Yet the tempest we dread bursts overheard In sunshine and soft April showers.

So beauty in tears, when the cause is so slight, Should strive such bursts to restrain, And next time we meet may that beautiful face Be radiant and smiling again. ScoTsMAN,

Canadian Fisheries.

AND THE HALIFAX AWARD BALANCE,

DR. FORTIN

The resolution of which Dr. Fortin has given notice in the House of Commons, after quoting the Fishery Clauses of the Washington Treaty, concludes as follows :

That there remains a sum of $4,500,000 which has been awarded to the Dominion of Canada, the expenses of the commission to be deducted proportionately from that sum and the $1,000,000 awarded to New- foundland ;

That the said sum of $4,500,000 has been acquired by the Dominion of Canada by the giving to the fishermen of the United States the right of fishing, in common with British fishermen, in our municipal waters, over an extent of coast of 3,160 miles, in- habited by a population of over half a mil- lion, who derive their subsistence almost entirely from the sea fisheries ;

That the participation of the American fishermen in our sea coast fisheries is knewn to be a great injury to our own fishing population, and that, besides, the American lishermen have injured those fisheries in a marked degree, and even depopulated some well known fishing grounds which formerly were very productive, as has been clearly proved by the testimuny given before the Fishery Commission of 1877, and have con- sequently greatly diminished the products of our fisheries, lessened the chances of our fishermen and threatened the future of our fishing industry ;

That if nothing is done, not cnly to stop the destruction of the fish that is taking place on our shores, but to repair the in- jury done, by restoring in some way, as sug- gested by several scientists, the fishing grounds that are now almost unproductive and which were formerly teeming with fish ;

That merchants, fishermen and traders from the Dominion as well as from Great Britain have established themselves on our tishing coasts, and have erected thereon costly buildings of all kinds, suitable for the fishing industry, and for the purpose of carrying on the different fisheries which ex- ist on our shores, and have erected such costly establishments, and placed so much capital in the fishing industry, under the belief that the British fisheries would never be given up to foreign fishermen ;

That the giving up of the right of fishing in our waters to the American fishermen has injured the trade of our fishermen very much for the present, and their prospects are still worse for the future, if no remedy is adopted ;

That it is in the interest of the Dominion that such injury to the fisheries and the fish trade should be repaired to as great an extent as possible ;

That the interior of this country was largely benefitted by the Reciprocity Treaty which was in operation from 1854 to 1866, between Canada and the United States,and that treaty was obtained by conceding to the American fishermen the right of fishing on all our sea coasts ;

That our fisheries and our fishermen suf- fered considerably in consequence of that concession of vur fisheries to foreign Esher- men ;

That during the time the said Recipro- city Treaty was in operation no sum ef money was expended in improvements of any kind on our sea casts for the develop- ment of our fisheries or to help the fisher- men in their arduous labors ;

That it is butequitable and just that what comes from the fisheries should return to the fisheries ;

That, for the foregoing reasons, it is the opinion of this House that the amount of this award accruing to Canada (after pay- ing expenses) should be made a special fund, and that the interest thereof should be employed in restoring exhausted fishing grounds, and a in every way the sea-fisheries of the Dominion.

By E. J. HODGSON, their attorney.

ing letter, received by Mr. Fortin from Washington, will be read with interest :—

Dear Doctror,—The experiments I made last winter in the artificial hatching of cod, satisfied me that it is entirely practicable to multiply this species to any desired extent. If I had had the. proper machinery I could readily have hatched out young cod and turned them into the ocean by hundreds, almost thousands of millions. 1am now constructing a steamer at a cost of about $50,000, expressly te do this work. The methods devised by my associates are equally available for ail kinds of sea fish, including mackerel, as it was, simply by way of experiment, we planted some eight or ten millions of cod. My report for the year will contain an exhaustive account of the whole business, which | think you will study with much interest.

Sincerely yours,

(Signed) Spencer F. Barrp, Commissioner. Dr. P. Fortin, House of Commons,Ottawa, Canada.

— ———— ee a we Two Brave Boys.

That courage is a natural inheritance,and not an acquirement, was never more strik- ingly exemplified that in the case of Admir- al Farragut. When nine or ten years old he was an assistant cabin-boy on board the ship-of-war ‘‘ Essex,” commanded by Cap- tain Porter. Notwithstanding the vigorous discipline which prevailed on such vessels, and the immeasurable social distance be- tween the officers and crew, young Far- ragut, by his courage and vigilance, and unusual ability, soon crossed the boundary line and became popular with the officers.

fine young fellow, who had ‘passed an ex- cellent examination, fell into disgrace one day by his inability to go aloft. Capt. Portar had no patience with this weakness, and after a while hit upen a plan which he believed would shame the midshipman into the necessary courage. He ordered the young man to remove his uniform, and in its stead to put on a mongrel suit of blue and black. Then he sent for the boy Farragut, and ordered him to take the dis- carded clothes to the maintop and secure them.

‘Cary,’ said the captain, ‘I want to show you what a plucky boy can do. Now, when you want your uniform, all you have got to do is to go up there and get it.’

Little Farragut made a bundle of the clothes, secured them to his neck and then sprang like a monkey to the desired height. Here he fastened them, and then returned to the deck, amid the enthusiastic exclama- tions of officers and the cheers of the crew, poor Cary included. Several times a day after this the midshipman started for his uniform. Once he got as far as the main- ‘mast, but returned to the deck so pale and exhausted that it was some moments before he ceuld recover himself,

A week after this a sharp naval engage- ment proved that Cary’s courage was equal to the emergency. Not once during the hot fight did he blanch or tremble; but, on the contrary, was dangerously cool, cour- ageous and reliable. The next morning Cary found himself the hero of the day.

‘ For goodness’ sake, Cary,’ said the cap- tain, ‘do go aloft and get yourrig! It’s an outrageous shame for a brave fellow like you to go about in this way "

‘ It is impossible, captain,’ said Cary, with a respectful salute. ‘I have done my best.’

Young Farragut steod near when this conversation was going on, and as the mid- shipman finished he said, with his inimit- ably dauntless air :—

‘Let me get it, captain. Cary’s heart is as big as an ox’s, and everybody knows it ; and his arm is as strong as a sledge-ham- mer, and he could lick- a thousand men of his size, and everybody knows that; but his head swims, captain, and he can’t help it, May I go up, sir?

‘Go on, Farragut !’ said the captain; and on the bey went.

When he returned to the deck, and pre sented to the midshipman his uniform,Cary’s eyes were full of tears, and Capt. Porter, without a word, walked away to the cabin. —E K., in Youth's Companion.

Think of a thousand deaths from small- pox in Montreal this year. Yet this is the number for this year, if the rate of increase in the rate of mortality from that loath. some disease, observable during the last two years in Montreal, be maintained.

Why Will You

Allow a cold to advance in your system and thus encourage more serious maladies such as Pneumonia, Hemorrhages and Lung troubles, when an immediate relief can be so readily attained. Boschee’s German Syrup has gained the largest sale in the world for the cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung Diseases. Itis Dr. Boschee’s famous German prescription, and is pres pared with the greatest care, and no tear need be entertained in administering it to the youngest child, as per directions. The sale of this medicine is unprecedented. Since first introduced there has been a con- stant increasing demand and without a single report of a failure to do its work in any case. Ask your drugyist as to the truth of these remarks. size 75
