Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelied, we would direct atten- tion tu the beautiful
Glaee Pictures
which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practicaily indes- tructible, und will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time, If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet, ‘This valuadle quality, com- bined with tbeir remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons cap have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere. '
We give special attention to making Groups of Families, Societies, Schools, &¢
Qur pictures of children are sufficient evidence’ of our success in this difficult branch of our art.
Our ¥NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Paste), Creyon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a tavorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.
Partieg intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our cu ‘tomers makes some delay in the delivery of tbe Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our silters come by appointment,
Photugraphs can be obtained for less mouey elsewhere ; bul ia this case We ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring tne public that they will fiad pur charges very moderate,

! | D ’ 2 : y , cn't Drink To-Night. oe, eee 8 I Yeft my mother at the door, My sister by her side ; ryyr : ° Their clasped hands and loving looks | Forbacde their doubts to hide : it left and met with comrades gay, | Whea the moon bri ught out her light, And my loving mother whispers me, “Don’t drink, my boy, to-night.”
Long years have rolled away since then, My jetty curls are gray;
But oh ! those words are with me yet, And will not pass away.
I see my mother’s loving face, With goodness radiant; bright,
And hear her words raise in mine ears, ‘Don’t drink, my boy, to-night.”
My mother now is resting sweet, in the graveyard on the hill,
But mother’s words come back to me, And haunt my memory still.
I often since have passed the cup ; Oh! then iny heart is right,
Because I heard the warning words, ‘Don’t drink, my boy, to-night.”
I’ve now passed down the road of life, And soon my race is run,
A mother’s warning listened to
_ An immortal crown has won.
Oh, mothers, with your blessed smile, Look on your boys so bright,
And say as you alone can say,
‘Don’t drink, my boy, to-night.”
These words will prove a warning when in the thorny paths of life,
The boy is in the tempter’s wiles
And yielding to the strife.
These words will stop the morning cup, And the revelry at night,
By whispering back a mother’s voice,
‘* Don’t drink, my boy, to-night.”
Suicide after a “Good Time” in Montreal—A Secret Inquest.
A man who registered himself as “J. M. Scott, New York City,” in the American House in Montreal, shot himself with a revol- ver in the head early in the morning of New Year's Day, and when discovered was quite dead. Mr. Scott came to Monireal by train on the 26th ult., and has since been drinking heavily, but the night before he committed suicide he was quite sober and acted rational- ly, When he arrived in the city he changed a $10 American bill, and had altogether $25 in his possession. He was given his hotel bill the night before his death and asked to settle it, but he replied that he would pay next morning. After his death it was found that he had no money. He was dressed like a mechanic, and was evidently an American from his accent. Written on a piece of card discovered in his pocket was the following : ‘Robert Cherry Dalbousy, 105.” He stated to people in the hotel that he came to Mon- treal to have a good time. The matter was kept secret until this moraing, neither the press nor the police having been informed of the matter. Great indignation is felt at the Coroner for lending himself to a secret inquest, which was held on the Ist instant.

FLOOD & O’BRIEN’S GREAT BANK IN SAN FRAN- CISCO.—SKETCH OF THE OWNERS.
(San Francisco Letter to Boston Journal.)
Gold is tossed about and trucked about as lead and copper are in New York. Mere boys, with canvass bags in their hands, go around carrying and collecting the precious metal. Kegs of gold and bags of gold are thrown on a cart as if they were ‘kegs of nails. In the prin- cipal jewelry stores, necklaces, diamond-stud ded belts and sets, valued at ail the way from 340 to $100,000, are exposed to view and are laid within grabbing distance. The Bank of Nevada is the great gold bank of the city. Its vaults are said to contain over ten millions. Trays of gold stand on the counter, not caged in and wired in as with us, but with as little guard around the money as is thrown around silks in adry goods store. Yet nothing is stolen and nobody attempts it. The bank is owned by Flood & O’Brien, the great Bomanza men. Their income is fabulous—from the mines alone said to be three millions a month. They began life humble enough. They were traders in a small way,and the store is still pointed out where they served their customers tor years. They made friends with the miners, trusted them for goods, loaned them a little money, and when the miners had a good thing they let Flood & O’Brien know it. ‘They were careful, prudent, saving men, and always had ready cash for small adventures. The Bon- anza possession was the result of this thrift and iorecast. Flood is about 50 years of age.
build. His tace is expressive of self-possession, resolution and common sense. “His tamily con- sists of a wife, a son and daughter. The daughter is of prepossessing appearance, who puts on no airs. Mrs. Flood is a matronly lady, quiet and benevolent, and enjoys the esteem of her neighbors. She refuses to give large parties because she would have to ignore her friends and acquaintances of humbler days. The family live cosily in a comfortable house, which would not be considered more than re- spectable for a well-to-do mechanic or a mod- erate shopkeeper. Flood’s word is as good as his bond anywhere. O’Brien is an older man, full seventy. He is tall, with very gray hair, aud slightly stoops. Fleod holds the fort in the President’s room and is seen by few per- sons. O’Brien can be found outside in the banking room, a sprightly old man, apparently looking after things. He is unmarried, but lives in princely style in a mansion built by Senator Sharon. His relatives keep the house.
One who read the papers for the last six months will not be surprised at the New York Sun's statement, that 330,000,000 was stolen during the year 1877 by persons, holding
various positions of trust.

| Another Ocean Horror—Over One Hundred Lives Lost.
} | | New Yorn, Jan. 5.—A Lima letter says the steamer Atacama, belonging to the Pa- cific Steam Navigation Comdany, went to pieces on the rock known ‘* Kompe Oles,” a short distance south of Caldena, on the Chilian coast, on the night of the 30th ult. The captain, all a officers boy many of the crew and rs were lost. In all it is cotiinated 18” miaeok were drowned and 29 saved. The ship was on the voyage from Valparaiso to Callao. She was commanded by Captain Lambert, well- known on the coast, and was well officered. The accident occurred at 8 p. m., when the passengers were below, and so instantineous was the breaking up of the ship that no time was given togain the deck. The cargo lost was not of great value and the passen- gers mostly Chilians were journeying be- tween the ports. The bodies of Captain Lambert and the Purser were recovered. No explanation of a satisfactory character is offered regarding the cause of the disaster. The rock was well-known. Darkness had just come on, and at such an early hour when every one was astir, it seems almost incomprehensible.

Mr. Gladstone in Various Capacities.
Acknowledging the gift of an American axe from a Sheffield firm, Mr. Gladstone writes :— “I am very glad that you have added that useful article, the American axe, to the list of our home productions, and I thank you for favoring me with a specimen, which seems, with as much trial as I have made, to possess all the merits of the original. I find it neces- sary to study efficiency in proportion and weight, and it is under this issue I think
for soft or free grained woods.”

floored. An irrepressible Hi der, Secretary of the Greenock Highland Society, has written to the hon. gentleman aking his views with re- gard to a wider instruction in the Gaelic
language. The right hon, gentleman has not much knowledge of Gaelic, and replies express- ing his incompetence to deal with the interest- ing subject submitted.
