Yesterday was the first ‘‘lovely day” of | the year. All day long nature wore a genuine smile, and every body looked happy. ‘fhe morning sun shone out glori- ously, and the mellow tone of the Sabbath i bell greeted the ear with voice of welcome. Tailors from: the harbor wandered to the /houee of prayer; many of them, no doubt, thinking of loved ones at home, and the old church bells of their native land, Memory waked to other days, and their hearts could join in the sweet refrain :— ! “Ring on, ring on, sweet Sabbath bell ! Thy mellow toves we love to hear, We were boys when first thy fell In melody upon the ear. Long years have gone, and we have strayed Vat o’er the world, far, far away; But thy dear tones have round us played, On many a lovely Sabbath day,” And it was a lovely Sabbath day, all day long, morn, noon and evening. languished into night, amid songs of praise ——litting day for mortals to sing, ‘‘Glory to God in the highest.” Some who have kept company with us in jthe journey of life have gone out from ‘among us. The cld have been gathered to ‘the land of countless years and perpetual youth, and the young have gone where they can never grow old, to keep company with | their fathers, in the never beginning, never lending, eternal Nows. Sorrow remains with us because death has visited us. The bodies of friends remain with us, and all their passions and weaknesses are buried inthe grave. There they lie, utterly re- gardless as to what may have been said about them, or to them, while animated with life. What careth the dead body now! Their souls enjoy the vast future, where there is endless peace and light—no grief, no sin, no false friends, no racking care, DO more earthly sorrows; and they have met with friends above from whom they parted years ago in tears and grief. What a shake hands heaven witnessed then! We like to think well of our friends—when they are dead. We like to talk well of them and write well of them. We like to believe that they have all gone ;to heaven. God and themselves know most about that. What should con- cern us most at present, is how we all thought, and spoke, and acted towards our friends when they were living. We may shed tears o’er the dead body, but were we kind and loving and sympathizing to the living body. We may speak of the virtues of the departed; did we recognize them in life? We may have tender words now, but a year ago, amonth ago, a week ago, or yesterday, were there no bitter words! We ali profess to have friends, and be friends to some one or other. Some are real, true friends; and others who talk about it couldn't spell friendship if they got the Kingdom of Heaven forit. None but nobie souls and true hearts know what pure friendship is or can exercise it. It wearies not, it changes not, itis Heaven inspired, for God breathes it. Let us ever bear in mind that the dead body knows nothing of our friendship, and that in every word and action we should so treat our friends while living that we will have nothing to regret or repent of when they leave us. A smile, a tear, a cheering word, some little kindly action, what power they may have! what influence they may exercise !—they may be among the steps of the ladder which leads us to heaven. How many loads would be lifted, how many hearts be made to rejoice with tender words, where, now, far too many bitter ones are given,—did we all in life cultivate a spirit of true friendship. What a change it would make, did every one treat the living as tenderly as they should, by endeavoring to understand them better, by leniency to their faults and the bestowment of kind words and deeds, and so acting to- wards them in every way, as we wish we had, when we come to gaze upon their dead faces. How much more of true happiness would creep into the lives of those around us ! How much more of sunshine te diffus- ed! How much happier would we feel when death had taken some dear opes, some loved friends, from our sight, as the glad thought came flooding the mind, that we always did what we could to make life pleasant for them, in every way possible, in both sun- shine and cloud. Strew flowers on the grave, erect a monument, and write an obituary, we cannot come to life to gaze upon them, though they may all be good and beautiful and true, but it is better far to fill life with good and beautiful, and true friendship towards the living—flowers will wither, monuments crumbie to waste, and actions are stored in the memory of angels, and are fraught with eternal good. We have wandered intoa line of thought we hardly intended to pursue, but it is written, and the reader has it. Business is stirring into life once more. Large catches of fish are reported. Spring goods are arriving to place new stock on the counters of our merchants. Nature is budding into new life, and garden and field will soon be things of beauty. Island industries still attract us, Our various factories are out with new goods, Dorsey, Goff & Co. still lead in boots and ‘shoes. Miller Brothers send out their organs and sewing machines, and their agent here is doing a good business. Our local hotels have all their share of patron- age. We have three of them—Lord’s Stone’s ancl McDonald’s, and they all have their visitors. The change in the Railway time-table, and mail delivery, are felt to be public conveniences.

Souris, June 9, 1884, - etomenetnet eS Gtnnnaeetpecetie Dundas Notes. There is not much progress made here since the date of my last notes. Farming | operations have been somewhat retarded by the occasional wet weather, The carly wheat and grass are beginning to look weil. A new kind of industry has been started here by Mr. John Doff. He has invented a powerful hand-loom of which he has made three, and are in full blast, weaving cheap at 12 cents per yard. He has taken a friend out from Paisley, Scotland, to assist him, and his labors are very much appreciated by the neighboring districts. Tho young women have given up the trade, and are seeking a field of labor in Beston, as they do not like the toil of the spinniag- wheel and hand-loom as our good old grand mothers used to do. THe Examiner is keonly sought after here every Saturday, anc no wonder, as it gives its readers the most news for less money than any other journal on the Island. We are agitating for a daily mail | here as the business of the place is increas- ‘ing duily, and with it we hope to see THE | Datty Examiner. The new schoolhouse at Dundas Line Road is nearly completed, and thanks to ‘our indefatigable Superintendent of Educa- ‘tion and Government for the promptness with which they have complied with the request of the district. It speaks volumes for their popularity. Our popular M. P. P., J. MeDougail, Esq., has another vessel on the stocks and is progressing favorably with the work. Our new bridge is remarkably well finish- ed notwithstanding Grit lamentations, and speaks well for the contractor, H. L, McDonald, Esq. Our village blacksmith, Mr. Turner, is kept busy this spring—extra works—mount- ing pedlars waggons and making other farming implements. Quiz. Dundas, June 5, 1884. The Earl of Dalhousie, formerly Lord Ramsay, who represented Liverpool in the House of Commons in the Liberal in- terests, has just introduced into the House of Peers, a bill to create a Scottish de - ment with a special Scottish Cabinet Min- ister. Under this bill all matters per- taining to the affairs of Scotland, save the duties ani privileges belonging to law and justice, are to be vested in the Secre for Scotland. One of the results of the adoption of this measure of reform will be to strip the Home Secretary—at. present Sir William Vernon Harcourt—of large powers and authority ; but it. will at the same time relieve him from the burden of various onerous and thankless duties. The new Secretary is to have a selary of £2,000 per annum and authority to appoint a per- manent assistant secretary and officers. He ranks as a member of the Govern- ment and will go out of office when- ever there is a change of miiniatry. It is considered probably that the Earl of Rosebery will be asked to fill the new Secretaryship. He has been active in pro- moting the reform, is an able statesman, a peer of distinction and a warm personal triend of Mr. Gladstone. Should he de- cline, however, it is believed the present Lord Advocate Balfour, of Scotland, will be appointed. The result of the debate on the divorce bill in the French senate, draws attention to the decline of religion in France, and the startling fact is announced that in the last census ne less than 7,500,000 registered themselves as having no religion, against 29,000,000 of Catholics. Another sign of the time is that hundreds of churches re- main vacaat in that country for the want of young priests, and in spite of this the chamber of deputies had refused to allow the exemption of ecclesiastical pupils from three years military service by the over- whelming majority of 386 to 91. Thomas Burt, M. P., perhaps the only true exponent of labor in the British Par- liament, expressed himself freely regardin the present great depression in the nteth of England. In answer to a question about coal and iron trade, Mr. Burt said that there was not so much to complain of in that direction. Trade was fairly good, but not nearly so brisk at this eriod of the year. The iron trade on the ees was also in a bad way. The few who were at present employed worked on half time, and eked out a miserable existence. ie Ferdinand Ward, the partner of, the |Grants, evidently meant to have a good time while he was about it. In his Brooklyn house he had 240,000 worth of furniture, the eame value in pictures, and $25,000 worth of plate aud china. In his Stamford country honse he had $40,000 more worth of ftrniture $15,000 in carriages and as much more in horses and harnesses. He had astraw- berries in January and, for aught anyone knows, oysters in July. And -everything was bought with other people’s money. fo — ee ———— : The May report of the Ontario Bureau of Industries, based on returns from six hundred and thirty correspondents, speaks most encouragingly of the crop prospects in that province. The area of fail wheat cown has 939,259 acres, as against 1,181,426 acres in the preteding year, a decrease of about 20 per cent,, but this falling of has been fully compensated by the increased area wuder other crops Fully 20,000 bushels of oats, it is said, have been sold from vessels at the port of Wallace, N. S., during the past fortnight ; and hay, which is very scares, sells at from #17 to $0 perton.
