_.... - ve eoaaiaemalipibe enceyiomencnaiaatin aie sansa Mr. Harris’ Reading.

Tas Christmas Carol is a wonderful book. We have often thought so as we read it to ourselves by the winter fire, when we have gone back with old Serooge as he was borne by the ‘* Ghost of Christmas Past”’ through the scenes of his youth. We have gone with him to Bob Cratchit’s house; to his nephews ; have stood at his eibow and watched Tapper going ‘‘ after” the plump sister, as shown by the ‘* Ghost of Christ- mas Present ;’ have heard his prayer to the Spirit that ‘‘ Tiny Tim” might live ; have stood with him by the wretched, curtainless bed, ‘‘on which there lay a something covered up; and at last have seen him tremblingly approach the lonely grave and read upon the stone his own name, ‘‘ Ebenezer Scrooge.’ We have seen the crust about the old man’s heart slowly breaking up, and have hailed with delight the complete conversion of the ‘squeezing, grasping, covetous old sin- ner ;” have felt the closing words of the book, *‘ God bless us every one” stealing over our souls like the ‘‘ benediction which follows after prayer.’ We say we have felt all this, and yet we have to confess that our conceptiop was poor and meagre in the light of the revelation which burst upon uson Tuesday evening as we listened to Mr. Harris. We had pictured them many a time, those wonderful creations of the novelist’s brain, in our mind’s eye; but Tuesday evening we saw and heard them them everyone. Trooping upon the stage in groups, singly, in laughter and in tears, in mirth and in pain, they were all before us at the reader's will. We shall not further attempt to criticise Mr. Harris’ reading of this most charming idyll. Suffice it to say that before a dozen sentences were spoken, he had found that subtle link which must always bind speaker and audience together, and it was never lost. The frequent applause and the en- thusiasm at the close were the testimony of this, and althengh Mr. Harris has doubt- less read to manya larger audience, we are sure he has never had one more ap- preciative, more responsive or enthusiastic than the one which assembled last evening. A cordial vote of thanks, moved by Mr. Palmer and seconded by Mr. Davies, was acknowledged in a few earnest words, and the meeting closed with the National An them. Messrs Karle and Vinnicembe gave some selections during the evening, which added greatly to the general enjoy- ment.

To the Exilitor of the Examiner.

Sin,—If the following narrative is worth printing, it is at your service. If not, please return it to me :—~

I knew a gentleman who lived in a large city in the Old Country, who kept a lum-

ber yard. It wes called a ‘‘ deal yard’ there. He was very diligent in business,

sold very low, and had small profits ; but,

having a large business, his swall profits in a short time made a large sum. The peo- ple said, ‘‘ he is a weil-to do man ;” others

said, ‘‘ he is rich.”” However, time went

on ; and the gentleman called his creditors together and said he had made some some money; but he had given credit to A.

B. and C., who failedfJand had taken most of this money he made from him. But,

however, he had fifty per cent. of the amount due to them left, and was prepared

to pay it, puttings down the different

amounts in paper with name of the owner on the paper. The men said, ‘‘ We knewyou were an honest man, and we are not willing to take the money; keep it and go on with your business, and don’t give credit to any

person again.” The gentleman said, ‘I have done wrong to give credit, and shall in future take your advice; but as to the money [| offer you, you must take it now, and you shali have the rest when I shall get it. After much talk they took the money, and gave the gentleman a re- ceipt forthe whole amount that he owed them. The gentleman said nothing, but put the receipt in his drawer. Time went on and the gentleman was very punctual at business, early and late. Several came to him for credit, but he refused ; and after a considerable time he called his oreditors

logether again. He told them that he had taken their advice not to give credit,and had made the money he owed them, and put down the different amounts on paper, with the interest up to that day. The men said we gave you a receipt in full, and you do not owe us anything. But the gentleman said, you gave me a receipt for which [ was obliged, but that does not pay the money I owe you. Take that which is due. Igo by another receipt which I read ina Book ‘‘ Owe no man anything.” This injunction I follow, and am determined te pay you. The gentleman was a QUAKER, ——— ip .

@interesting to Fishermen. MODEL SUGGESTED OLD SALT.

T'o the Editor of the Examiner.

Sin,-—A letter published in your issue of the llth Oct., wmtten by me on reading the suggestion of Inspector Duvar, on the necessity of improving our fishing crafts, goes no further than recommending the Nova Sco*ia whale boat asa model for @ shore boat, with the addition of a light, hinged deck. But for the following rea- sons, those who make a trade of fishing would require a Jarger craft. Where there is no harbour, the boats now in use eannot lsave the shore more than five days ia nine, taking the whole season, from the 15th May till the 10th November, and there are many good fishing days outside when scarcely any model of a boat could leave the shore light, and no loaded boat could ap. proach it. Ina letter before me from Mr. Duvar, he says: —

‘‘Without having myself data to confirm or deny the alleged fact, oid fishermen have very definitely stated to me, among other things, that the cod fishery is gradually going further off our coast. On the north side of Prince County, for instance, where, ten years since, they fished successfully in six fathoms within the three miles of Cana- dian water, they have now to run off per- haps five miles into ten fathoms, The cha- racter of that fishing isin fact changing, avd is becoming practically a sea fishing, instead of one that can be prosecuted from the shore. Hence the necessity of a better style of boat.”

Now, Mr. Editor, in King’s County, on the north side, we have to go from six to eight miles into fifteen or twenty fathoms, so that, except for a short time in the firat part of the season, small boats cannot fish regularly or with prof&t; and although cod- fish has been very plenty on our coast the middle and end of the last two seasons, and strangers in small vessels have fished our people have done yery little at them, but follow mackerel, Wuich is much more uncertain, both in take and price. In larger crafts, that would stow from ene hundred to one hundred and fifty quintals of fish, both cod and mackerel could be much better cured than when landed from small boats, where they are often spoilt by heat before salting, and also injured: by sand, making then much lower in quality and price than they might be. L tink thata craft of from five to fit- teen tons, light but strong, and cheaply bnilt, like a boat, and not like an ugly dwarf timber ship, as ones of that size are mostly made, (n Souris they were called roosers from the fact of the crews having to roost like fowls, to sleep, how they could, and pick up their food in the same manner; they were marvellously uncomfortable, and [do not wonder at men giving them up, and our best men going year by year, every summer tv fish in the vessels of foreigners) if built on fine lines specially for fishing (tot: ly unfit for draggers) with raised com- fortabie cabins amidships, a large dranght o° wa'er to make them safe and weatherly, with every line from keel to gunwale, con- vex that they might sail fast, a good deal of what Salmon fishers callin their sea cables, sowback, to have them dry, sharp at the bew, and stern, to enable them to ride easily, and with light strain on the cable, not ommitting to secure hatchdecks, they would be just as comfortable for men, and safer than the ordinary schooner; and as six of them could be built for the price of one schooner, with accommedations for thirty men instead of fifteen, and their fishing capacity just as much, for each man, a few men could join in owning one, and [ am certain would land morevish than from sma!) boats, and in very much better condi- tion. And with harbours and homes close to the fishing grounds, and provisions cheap surely our fishermen should be able to compete with strangers if there is not some- thing very wrong -@ the relations of capital and labour engaged in our fishing.

No people in the world suffer so much with Dyspepsia as Americahs, Although years Greene in medicine had failed to aecomplish a certain and sure remedy for this disease and its effects, auch as Sour Stomach, Heart-burn, Water-brash, Sick Headache, Costiveness, palpitation of the Heart, Liver Complaint, coming up of the food, low spirits, general debility, etc., yet since the introduction of Green’s August

lower we believe there is no ease of Dys- pepsia that cannet be immediately relieved. 50,000 doxen sold last year without one ease of failure reported. Go to your Drug- gist and geta sample bottle for 10 eents and try it. Two doses will relieve you.
