DENTISTRY. rUNHE cry of ‘‘Hard times” and “No money” is universal. Yet people lose their teeth, and in consequence their health. Again, recent improvements have cheapened the cost of Dental material ;—considering which I have decided to reduce my prices, and for three months from the date of this I will make a sett of teeth for Ten Dollars. Parts of setts correspondingly cheap. More than this—I will use good material and guar- antee, in every case, a perfect fit. ©. L. STRICKLAND. Ch’town, Jan. 4, 1879—

War-Song of a Weish Bard.

{Asour the beginning of the thirteenth century, the people of Wales, uniting their various clans under the leadership of Llewellyn ap Joruerth, made their last gal- lant effort to throw off the English yoke. Hope beat high in the bosom ef the con- quered nation ; and the enthusiasin of the time found vent in the martial songs of the bards. To some such soldier-poet might be ascribed words like in spirit to these | :— As an eagle, when fierce fever urns his

breast,

And his sovereign eye confronts the sun no

more, When his maddened spirit rages with unrest That the -wings should fail which bore him east and west, That the strength should bow which never bowed before— ' And he shuts the ernel light out from his eyes, tl

And his darkling spirit wrestles wild within, And he hurries to be gone from sight of skies To his eyrie where the sheltering mountains

rise,

To the lonely shrouded darkness he would

hie ;

And the meaner birds that range the air for rey (Juail no more before his fiercely conquering flight — Close they crowd him on his faltering home- ward way, For they know he has no power to smite or slay, And his soul is shamed to feel his fallen might, —

So our helpless people, when the Saxon came, Pouring in upon us sea-like from the sea, So we shank before them, sick at son] with shame, . And our wounded spirits burnt with angry flame, And we sought the hills where life is large and free! But as eagle, when the fever slowly dics And its burning fangs are loosened of their hold, Feels once more his proud, rise, Longs once more to brave the bright and boundless skies, Plunges down the deeps of air, serene and bold, -—

So once more, O sacred country of my heart, O beloved of the souls that see thy light, From thy sick sleep in the mountains thou

victori ous spirit

dost start,

And like dreams at dawn of day thy woes depart,

And from thy fair eyelids downward falls the night.

QO, Llewellyn, lord of Snowdon, chief of Wales, Cry the call to battle, lead us, make us free-— Let us burst full on the Saxon as he fails, Like the chainless winds of winter on the vales, Like a long pent torrent charging to the sea. For a thousand voices call us if we hear— Ail the souls of our dead sires that cry to save, All the songs of our snow-bosomed maidens dear ;— Summoning tongues of storm the ear, And the clamoring ocean calls with every | wave.

O thou lovely land, we hear thee and chey—

And we riseat thy behest, thou tameless sea!

Full and fetterless as thine our wrath makes way.

O our country, can thy childern say thee nay?

8 life was given that we imight die for

winds and waters

CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1879. NO. 495,

The World’s Great Bank. A SKETCH OF THE BANK OF ENGLASD.

The Bank of England was organized in 1694. Fora time the business was done in one room. Now 700 men are employed. No bills are issued for less than £5. Bills never go from the Bauk a second time. Smaller notes are out about fifty-five days, Notes for £1,000 are out on an average of 10 days. Every customer can have hard cr soft money as he prefers. Sovereigns that come into the bank are all weighed before going into circulation again. We saw them moving down the trough, every one that is deticient in weight passing out at the side. These deficient coins are melted up for re- coinage. The silver coins that are worn smooth are re-coined in like manner. Every coin going out of the bank has its full weight and value. The sovereigns are put up in bags of 10,000 each; 100,000 are weighed ina day. Notes that are paid at the bank are torn at one corner, pre- served five years, and then destruyed.

Gold and silver are in use for all business transactions. The writer used only three bank bills during the four months he has been in England. We think we must have smal! bills. What should we think if we had no paper money less than $267? There are bill on Irish banks for £1, but I never saw any of them.

Different rooms are for different purposes, One is for the weighing of gold sovereigns, another for the examination of silver coins, and others for Government business, sell- ing Government stocks, paying public in- terest, discounting to London merchants, paying mercantile notes, funding. All printing of blank books, drafts, and checks is done inthe bank. Bank bills probably cost less than a mill each. The paper is not like our bank bills, no better than the paper used for bank checks. The advanced ideas of our greenback friends leave Eng- land far in the rear. The idea that a gov- ernment cay make money by stamping a piece of paper has no countenance in the Bank of England. Our English friends consider a £5 note as good as five sovereigns in gold, because the note will bring the gold’ wherever presented. How carefully they guard the purity of coinage! Every sovereign, every shilling, that goes out of the bank is genuine and full of value. If one, by wearing, is ‘‘weighed in the bal- ance and found wanting,” it is recoined.

Words of Wisdom.

More than two hundred years ago an old author penned the following. No one can dispute the soundness of the logic and the moral conveyed may, at this season of the year, when balances are struckand accounts made up, save some unfortunates from rushing into the ‘‘ furniee” of law, which is sure to consume both parties to the dis. pute :—

To go to law isfor two persons tokindle a fire at their own cost to warn others and singe themselves to cinders. A lawsuit is like a building; we cast «p the cost in gross, and under-reckon it; but having begun, we trailed along through several iters, till we can neither bear the account nor leave off, though inclined to do so. The anxiety, the trouble, the attendance, the hazard, the checks, the vexatious de- lays, the surreptitious advantage taken of us, the hopes deferred, the falseness of pre- tending friends, the interests of parties, the negligence of agents and the dangers of ruin upon us do put us upon a combat against all that can plague poor man ; or else we must lie down, be trodden upon, be kicked and die. So far, law may be com- pared to war, thatit isa last resort, and ought never to be used but when other means do fail.

Gossip About British Regiments.

The d3rd, from the color of their facings, rejoice in the soubriquet of the ‘* brickbats,” but.more willingly in the whimsical name of the ** Five and threepenies,” from the figures 5 and 3, and from that sum being the daily pay of the lowest subaltern officer. There is a pleasant story connected with the 83rd or Glasgow Regiment. The city undet- took to raise a corps of one thousand wen during the American war. Provost a and two gentlemen named Gray and Finlay set the movement on foot. They went all about Glasgow beating up for recruits, Gray acting as sergeant and Finlay as piper. Meeting some friends the first day they were asked what was their success, to which the Provost replied, ‘‘There’s a sergeant and piper and [ am the regiment.” Nevertheless the full compliment of a thou- sand men was soom collected. The 4th were oncé known as the ‘*Garvies.” Their rivals averred: that the first recruits were lean and lankey fellows, and that garvie is Scotch for lean herrring. But others maintained that a garvie, though small, is not necessarily lean, and that the recruits were plucky little fellows, not by any means characterized by lankiness.
