I was particu- larly delighted wiih Miss Macfarlane’s rendition of her beautiful solo, “One Sweetly Solemn Thought,” and on re- turning home, while the music yet sound- ed in my ears, wrote to the same air, the following stanzas :— THE TWILIGHT HOUR. | Arr— One Sweetly Solemn Thought. Sweet, as an Angel’s dream, | Evening closes round my bower, Ne’er did Earth, such bliss assume, | As this tranquil, Heavenly hour! | Il. | . | Hark !—the solemn vesper chimes, | Lull to rest the listening air, Choral strains, as Bethlem heard, Tune the soul to evening prayer. 11. Sweetly bright Aurora gleams, Heaven’s concave flashing o'er, Like that radient cloud, whose beams Israel led to Canaan's shore ! Iv. Far beyond the orbs of light. Far beyond the verge of day, Where ve’er Comet swept its flight, Where ne’er human thought did stray. Vv. High stands th’ Eternal’s throne, Veiled in light and bliss untold, There flows the stream of life, There gleams the streets of gold! McA.pyn. Ch’town, May 21, 1883. Our Schools. PRINCIPAL EVENTS IN THE EDUCATIONAL HISTORY OF THE ISLAND—FREE EDUCATION. (From the Superintendent's Revort. ) Up to 1852, the Schools of this Province were mainly supported by voluntary sub- scriptions, and such local efforts as could be secured by mutal co-operation. In 1852 the Free Education Act was passed, under which the salaries of Teachers were paid almost entirely from the Provincia) Treas- ury. ‘The stimulus thus given to education resulted in the establishment of the Pro- vincial Normal School in 1856, and of the Prince of Wales College in 1860. From 1860 until 1877, very little was effected in the way of legislation for the improvements of the schools, although the admiustration was very defective during that period. In 1877 the Public Schools’ Act was passed, which provided for the establishment of a Department of Edvocation, and introduced into our Public School system many of the most approved principles and most modern methods of other countries. In 1879 the College and Normal School were amalga- mated, and ladies were admitted, for the first time, into the former institution. Many improvements in the administration of the educational affairs of the Island, for the advancement and encouragement ot the Teachers, and for grading of ihe differ- ent schools, have been introduced since 1879, and are now beginning to be in effect ive operation. The eflect of the different changes and legislative enactments will best be repre- sented by giving the statistics for each decade since 1£41:— Population Schools. Pupils. of Province.

From the period between the passing of the Free Education Act, 1852, and the ‘enactment of the Public Schovl laws of 1877, the attendance was one in six of the population.

We hed waited long and prayed earnestly for the rceovery of cur former loved pastor, H. J. Aylswerth, feeling that we could not spare him from his labors for us, and when at last we were forced to yield to the inevitable, and to give him up, we searched long for another to fill his place. D. Crawford McKay—tearfully we inention his dear name—came to vs, young in the work, and many asked, ‘‘ Can he acceptably follow one so much his senior and who has rendered such unexceptional _service ?’ How weli he succeeded may be judged when we say that not one in the church was dipsatisfied, and from those /outside the church he had won universal esteem. Words of ours cannot express the general love of all hearts for him, nor cur \deep grief at his lors. Grief and love were |strikingly manifested by the stricken hearts and tearful eyes of the large number that {gathered at his funeral to pay the last |tribute of respect to their loved young pastor and friend. Bro. McKay was in his | thirtieth year. He was bornin Prince Edward | Island, where now live his aged father of whom he often spoke with great tenderness, and his brothers and sisters whom he deeply loved. He was the youngest of the family and his mother died before his memory. We have often heard say, sadly and _ tenderly, that he was a stranger to a mother’s love, and that it seemed a great iuas to him not to have known in his own experience this blessed and tender relationship. He was true to the gospel as given to the world by the apostles, and he would preach it clearly, and if any one ever nervously admonished him that he made it a “ little too plain,” he made answer that when he might not preach ithe truth he would leave the ministry. Although he spoke plairly, he treated all kindly, and many from other churches gladly canis in to hear him, never taking offense. For the benefit of many preachers let it be said, his sermons were always short, seldom exceeding 30 minutes, yet in each sermon he taught and enforced some lessons, and all who heard felt they had learned something of value. He graduated from Bethany, after which he labored about two years for the church in ‘Clarence, N. Y., from whence he came to Auburn in July last. He died Monday, April 23, and his funeral was held on Thursday, 10 a. m., 26th inst., the sermon being preached by Bro. J. C. Goodrich, followed by his former fellow student in Bethany, Bro. A. Mr Harvuot, now pastor of the church at Clarence, His brother, Hon, Donald McKay, of P. E. Island, Member of Parliament, arrived at noon on Thursday, in-timeefer the fun- eral. His gricf was great when he came nedr the house where his brother had made his home, and saw crape on the dvor, this being the first intimation of his death—the latest intelligence he had received before starting from home being that of his dan- gerous ilness. ‘ . He left here with the remains on Friday on Tuesday, May Ist. Our brother had been ill with catarrhal fever for several weeks, but his condition was not considered dangerous until the iast few weeks. ; One week before his death a council of physicians pronounced him free of the fever, and assured his attendants that he would recover ; but immediately his disease as- sumed the character of typhoid, whith set. tled in the brain, rendering him delirious the remaining days he lived. So he had no opportunity to converse with his friends after it was felt that he could not recover. Str§mgely. enough, however, the brother who watched him during one of the last nights, relates that at different times he seemed to faney himself in church, and would make a prayer as intelligently as when in health, praying for the church, the cause and other subjects of prayer, closing with the customary amen, He also said, ‘‘Well the church is poor and Iam poor, but I must do what I can,” and would then attempt to displece the bed covers and move as if to go about the work which was so fixed in his mind that even delirum could not remove it. During his illnees he longed to see father and friends, aud in hig delirium imegined he was going home, saying, “‘ 1 am near the water's edge,’ and kindred expressions. Truly, he was wear the water's edge. We cannot solve the mystery of his death, taken thus early from the work for which he was sv well fitted— from brothers in the mipistry and church he so loved—from the dear father and family at home, and from pew and tender relationships soon to have been perfected. We must wait till “then and there” for the answer. Why is this? May we be ready as We are sure he was ready. . W. H. Derey. Anburn, N.
