The Pilot.

BY MARGARET J. PRESTON,

1 hope to mect my pilot face to face,

When I have crossed the bar.—Trennyson. Who is the Pilot, into whose sure hand,

Waiting the summons, as the day grows

dark,

Upon the border of this earthly strand,

We may comimit our bark ?

Caan Reason rule the deck, and firmly steer Throngh depths where swirling maelstroms rave and roar, And madly threaten to overwhelm us, ere We reach the thither shore ?

Has calm Philosopy, whose lore uarolis The axioms of the ages, ever found

A perfect chart, to map what rocks and shoals Beset the outward bound ?

Can Science guide, who, with exploring glass, Swept the horizon of the restless tide,

And questions, ’mid the mists that so harass, ** Is there a farther side ?”

Dare old Tradition set its untrimmed light Upon the prow, and hope to show the way, Through gulfing troughs that blinder make the night, Out into perfect day ?

Nay,—none of these are strong to mount the deck, And, with authority assured and free, Guide onward, fearless of the loss and wreck That crowd this scundless sea.

O ye who watch the ebbing tide ! what saith Lhe wisdom that through ages hath sufficed For questioning souls ?—Tbe only chart is faith, The only pilot Christ !

The Sunday School Times.

A Dissolution Advisable. (Halifax Herald, Sept, 13.)

The collapse of the Sherman resolution on account of the bitter opposition which it experienced in the United States Senate, and the avowed inauguration of a policy for the coercion of Canada has placed this country face to face with a grave issue. There is no doubt as to the attitude which Sir John Macdonald and his government has assumed. Here are the words which Sir John uttered at Kingston when the policy of coercion was endorsed in the Cleve- land proclamation of 1888: ** We Canadians have a country and we are satisfied with it. If Canada is excluded by any other country then we can trade with ourselves. The attempts made across the line to cripple our resources furnish no cause for dismay, as such attempts will daily again illustrate what was shown when reciprocity died after the war—that Canada could do without the trade if deprived of it. We can afford to wait in calm dignity and self respect for the action of our neighbors across the border.” There is no note of despair in these utter- ances. They bespeak a strong courage born of confidence in the spirited patriotism of the people of Canada.

But, on the other hand, the opposition party and press have been loud in their assertions that Sir John Macdonald and his ministry do not represent the views of the people of Canada. They denounce the present government as the immediate cause of the disputes now pending with the Uniten States; and they whisper in the ears of a foreign congress that the attitude assumed by the Canadian government does not meet with the approval of the Can- adian people. At this critical time when the government of the country should have the unswerving support of all patriotic Can- adians, there are a few at least who seem to have so far forgotten what is due to the highest interests of their own country as to instigate the adjoining republic to acts of coercion and aggression by inspiring theseforeigners with the hope and expectation that Canadians are too cowardly to unite for the protection of their national interests against foreign ag- gression ; or that they will surrender their rights whenever the United States resorts to abuse and intimidation. Should the Grit party and press persist in this course there is only one alternative for the Do- minion Government, and that is to advise the dissolution of the present parliament, and to make a direct appeal to the people to decide whether or not the foreign and domestic policy of Canada, so far as the Dominion Government has control, is to be directed and determined by a few conspira- tors, who are acting in concert with those at Washington, who desire to coerce Canada into annexation to the republic. That is the great issue now before the Canadian people, and on that issue a general election should be held. The Congressmen at Washington could then ascertain beyond doubt whether or not Sir John Macdonald represents the views of the Canadian people,

The Lady Nairn, Hon. D. Gordon’s large and splendid barque sailed from here on the 9th inst.

Rev. D. Sutherland, of Zion Church, Charlottetown, and Rev. Mr. Sinclair of Belfast, were in town last week.

Although the mackerel fishing has been somewhat dull, yet the vessels from this port have done fairly well so far. The re- sult up to Saturday last was about -as fol- lows : The Orion, owned by Mr. Aaron Cogswell and Capt. Walker, eighty-five barrels; the Jubilee, owned by Capt. M. McDonald, fifty barrels, Mr. Hemphill’s vessel, thirty-five barrels. This last vessel has oniy been out for a short time.

The report that Captain McLaren was again employed in the fishery protection service has turned out not quite correct. His schooner, the Critic, is, but he is not.

This case we now leave in the good andl

faithful hands of Dr. McIntyre and Dr.

Robertson, and also of Mr. A. C. Me- Donald,

Late despatches report a crop failure in

wheat there, and that poor.

Mr. PF. C. Murphy, Station Agent, Bloomfield, has resigned his position on the road to enter the University College, New York City, for the study of medicine. During the five years Mr. Murphy has been connected with the railway he has endeared himself to his superiors and feilow- workers, as well as being a general favorite with the people, He was a most competent officer, understanding railroad- ing as it is carried on here perfectly, and earning for himself a first place among our telegraph operators. And his official duties have not absorbed all his time and talents During the past eighteen months Mr. Mur- phy has acquired a splendid knowledge of the Greek, French and Latin classics, as well as making primary studies in medicine with Dr. McLaughlin, of O'Leary. He has found time, too, to contribute to these columns from time to time, and we venture to hope that having kept us in mind here he may not forget us in the great capital of the ** Land of the Free.”” As an evidence of the general respect and esteem in which he is held by the people of Bloomfield and vicinity, the following well-wricten and common sense address was presented to him and suitably replied to by him on Monday:

ADDRESS. To Mr. P. C. Murrny, Station Master, Bloomfield.

We, thé undersigned, with whom during your term of offiveas Station Agent at Bloom- field Station you have had business relatious, cannot allow this opportunity to pass without registering the expression of our deep regret that these relations, so agreeably mainteined for the past three years, are about to be severed. We have not iailed to remark and fully appreciate the fine ability, the sterling honesty, the uniform courtesy and the obliging disposition you have always brought to the discharge of your various duties. And whilst we rejoice to know that you leave us to enter upon a University career, which will fit you for a wider and more honorable profession, we venture to offer you our sincere regrets at your departure, and hope that some day we may have the pleasure of welcoming you again to these parts, to put into practice the lessons you will have learned at the feet of Hippo- crates. Wishing you every blessing and suc- cess, and renewing the expression of our high regard, we beg to subscribe ourselves :

The Mackerel Fishery.

Local mackerel buyers are giving from $16 to $17 a barrel. Some of the seiners have done very well lately. The S. F. Meader, Capt. Payson, of Booth Bay, has caught 205 barrels, and the schr. Ambrose H. Knight, of same place, 103 barrels. The J. G. Craig, of Portland, Me., caught 111 barrels, and the Louisa Polly, Capt. Cole, Gloucester, 145 barrels. These mack- erel were chiefly caught with seines, but not in the usual way, as the fish don’t school this season. Bait was thrown out freely around the vessels to gather the mackerel. When a sufficient number showed up the sceine was thrown out so as to surround them. In this way as many as seventy or eighty barrels were taken ata haul. Some, however, were caught with hook and line. Our shore fishermen on both sides of the eastern part of the Island made some very good catches within the last few days. The S. 8. Stanley was at Souris on Saturday, and so also were thirty-three fishing schoon- ers, principally American. They remained in port over night. Sunday morning they hoisted sail and went east. So many white- sailed racers leaving port at the same time was a sight well worth witnessing.

Homing Pigeon Race. H. J. WILLIAMS WINS THE SILVER CUP FOR KEEPS.

The third, and, as it proved, the last hom- ing pigeon race for the Miller cup was fown yesterday afternoon, aad by its result H. J. William, of 65 Thurber’s Avenue, becomes

rmanent possessor of the cup. ‘These races

Lave been started from Bridgeport, distant 105 miles from Providence, air line, and by the conditions it should be won twice before passing into the possession of its permanent owner. The first race was on August 31, 1889, and birds owned by Mr. Williams came in first, second, third and fourth. The second race was flown on July 16 last, and Thomas Miller, of the St. George Hotel, the donor of the cup, won the race in 2 hours and 21 minutes, 26 seconds. Mr. Williams’ bird came in second, The race yesterday was won by Williams, in the remarkably fast time of 2 hours and 10 minutes, Miller coming in se- cond in 2 hours and 36 minutes. The winner of yesterday's race is numbered 15, Federa- tion band, and is the daughter of the winner of the 500-mile Concorse race, the biggest race of the year. The time to-day was about 1.421 yards per minute.—Providence, Lt. I, Tele- gram. / [The Mr. Williams referred to in the foregoing paragraph is married to a Char- lottetown lady, and has many friends here. Tue EXAMINER congratulates him on the success of his pigeons. |
