Mighty God! Arrest the evil that is overshadowing this century. The Carnival at Georgetown. Tur Georgetown Carnival last night was a decided success in every way, in fact the only fault that could be found was the smallness of the Drill Shed, which was un- comfortably crowded. The committee in charge had the shed tastefully decorated, and the light was very good indeed. Short- ly after 8 o'clock the skaters filed out of the waiting room and in a very few moments everything looked beautiful and all persons present were pleased; pleased that ‘ae Carnival was such a suecess, and that everybody else was satisfied. The costumes worn by the different skaters I charge you, my sister, that you take your husband along with you to heaven Of course this implies that you yourself a Christian. 1 must take that for grant It cannot be possible that after wha: Christianity has done for women, and after taking the infinitely responsible position you have assumed at the head of the house- hold, that you should be in a position antagonistic to Christ. 1t was not a slip of the tongue when I spoke of you as being at the head of the household. We men rather pride ourselves as being at the head of the household, but it is only a pleasant delusion. To whom do the children go when they have trouble? When there is a sore finger to be bound up, or one of the first teeth that needs to be removed to make way for one that is crowding it out, to whom does the child go? For whom do children cry out in the night when they get frightened at a bad dream? Aye, to whom does the husband go when he has a business trouble great or too delicate for outside ears? We, the men, are heads of the houschold in name, but you, O wives! are the heads of households in fact, and it is your business to take your husband with yeu into the kingdom of God and see that house prepared for heaven. Yor can do it! Of course, God's al- mic y grace alone can convert him; but youre to be the instrament. Some wives keep their husbands out of Heaven, and others getner them for it. If your religion, O wife, is simply the j -ke of the household; if you would rather go to the theatre than the prayer meeting; if you can beat all the neighborhood in progressive euchre; if your husband never sees you kneel at the bedside in prayer before retiring; if the only thing that reminds the family of your church relations is that on communion day you get home late to dinner, you will net be able to take your husband to Heaven, for the simple reason that you will not got there yourself. Bat I suppose that your religion is genuine, and that the husband realizes there is in your soul a divine prin- ciple, and that, though you may be natur- ally quicker-tempered than he is, and have many imperfections that distress you more than they can anyone else, still you are destined for the skies when the brief scenes of this life are over. How will you take him with you? ‘There are two oars to that boxt—prayer and bely example. But you sy he belongs to a worldly club, or he does not believe a word of the Bivle, or he is an inebriate and very loose in nis habits? What you tell ma shows that ybu don’t understand that while you sre atthe one end of a prayer, the © a:ni- poteat God is at the other end, and «' is simply a question whether Almightiness is stroug enough and keeps His word. L have no doubt there will be great con- a Heaven called for celebrative eerrecians purposes, and when in sors Ovlestial Aas! » the’Sainte shall ve telling what h vir them te God, | eve that ten sua umes ten thousand wii’ say, “My i pat beside each other two testimonies of men concerning their wives, and let you seo the contrast. An aged man was asked the reason of his salvation. With tearfal emotion he said: ‘‘ My wife was brought to God some years before myself. 1 per- secuted and abused her because of her re- ligion. She, however, returned nothi»g but kindness constantly, maintainin anxiety to promote my comfort and ha, nes3 ; and it was her amiable conduct when sutfaring ill-treatment from me that first sent the arrows of conviction to my soul” The other testimony was from a dying man: ‘* Harriet, Lamalost man. You opposed our family worship and my secret prayer. You drew me away into temptation, and to neglect every religious duty. I believe my fate is sealed. Tiarriet, you are the cause of my everlasting ruin.” How many glo- rious married couples in Heaven—Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Lapidoth and Deborah, Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and Rvchel, Zacharias and Eliztbeth, Joseph and Mary, and many whom we have known as good as the most of them ! As once you stood in the viliage or city church, or in your father’s house, perhaps undec a wedding beil of flowers, to-day stand ip, husband and wife, beneath the eross Of a pardoning Redeemer, while 1 procisim the banns of an eternal marriage. Jom your right hands. I prononnce you one forever. What God hath joined together let neither life nor death, nor time, nor eternity put asunder. Witness men and angels li worlds, all ages! The circle is an eoiviem of eternity, aud that is the si: .oe of the Marriage Ring. THe temperance canse in East Royalty is progreasing favorably. About four months ago alodge of the L O. G. T. was organ- ized with a charter membership of over forty. Since that time new members have been added, and the lodge is now in a flourishing condition. It meets every Tuesday night in the Belmont Schoolhouse. Next night of meeting will be what is known as a “free night,” at which some of the leading temperance workers of the ciiy are expected to speak. The principal object of the meeting io to take into con- sideration the petition that is to go before the Governor-in-Council concerning the appointing of additional inspectors to see that the Canada Temperance Act is more etficiently put into operation. The leading question will be: Why should we sign such &@ petition? ‘All are invited to attend. teaiipaties THe manufacturers of the ‘Myrtle Navy” tobacce imvite the very closest scrutiny of ite gushvy.

After the Carnival a ball took place, which was kept upuntil 4a.m. this morning. The Band, and those who went to Georgetown with them, returned to Charlottetown well pleased with the reception accorded them by the Georgetown people.

Local Newspapers @ We have received a copy of the ‘Beat List of Local Newspapers, ’ published by George P. Roweli & Co., Newspaper Advertising Bureau 10 Spruce Street, New York. Messrs. Rowell & Co., are the leading ad- vertising agents of the country. Tae Ex- awtin@e has had more or less businesg with this fiem during the past sixteen years, and it gives us pleasure to refer to the satisfac- tory manner in which they have observed all contracts with us. Their business mothods are the admiration of all news- paper publishers, for the firm ig not over exacting, and are espocially prompt in pay- ing allclaims. In fact they make ita fea- ture of their business to pay all bills that are correct the same day they are received. Mail is a day and a half in transit between Chattanooga and New York, and it has fre- quently occurred that a bill sent from Chattanooga Monday night to Rowell & Co., was examined, approved, ordered paid and check received in Chattanooga Thurs- day night. A firm that is thus safe and prompt in carrying out its contracts is a very desirable one to have business with. Those whe wish todo general advertising will disregard their own interests by neg- lecting to negotiate with Geo. P. Rowell & Co., before placing their contracts. Their recent publication, ‘‘The Best List of Local Newspapers,” embraces every paper published at an important county seat, or in a place having more than 5,000 popula- tion. The list covers every State, Torri- tory, District and Province of the United “o robbed, assaulted and tm and driven out by a States and Oanaia. The publication will be sent free to advertisers on THE NEWS OF THE DAY. Carefully Collated by “The BPEx- aminer’s” Reporters. _ -— An epidemic of measles has broken out in Montreal, No street parade in Chicago on St. Patrick’s Day. There are over 300 Mormon elders at work in the Southern States proselytizing. A widow with nine children has sued a young man in New York for breach of promise, Upwards of 100 forged notes have been discovered in the Eckersdorff forgery case, Montreal. The winter carnival at Burlington opened on the night of the 22nd with appropriate ceremonies. Sir William Jenner, the well known phy- sician, has ordered Lord Salisbury to go and recruit his health. ‘*Time works wonders,” said a young man of 57 when he came back and found his eldest sister’ only 18. Less than sixteen years ago the first house was built at Birmingham, Ala. Now it is a city with 25,000 inhabitants. There were 67 interments in the Montreal Catholic Cemetery last week, among which were four cases of smallpox. The London Standard says the under- secretary for Ireland has submitted a scheme for home rule to the government, Miss Gallant, who was shot at Campbel- ton, N. C., last week, is now out of danger. It has not yet been discovered who fired the shot. Some 15,000 packages of tea, valued at $180,000 have been imported at Halifax during the past six weeks, in anticipation of a change of daty. The Castletown, Ireland, police have cap- tured nineteen armed and disguised men. They are supposed to be members of a party of moonlighters. A part of the cargo of the steamer Fero- nia, recently lost on the Dutch coast, con- sisted of 6,000,000,000 needles designed for the Chinese trade. A self-styled prophet, Samuel Te!lmarck, is preaching the ‘‘ end of the world in 1888 in Corydon, Ind. He has made a Bible efter his own notions. * Not a member of the Grant family at- tended the funeral of Hancock, and it is not known that the Grants sent any mes- sage of condolence to Mrs. Hancock. Doring the last quarter of a century Archibaid’s stage between Halifax and Salmon River, has travelled over 663,000 miles, or equal to 27 times round the world. The enormous increase of civil pensions is exciting alarm in England. In the Gov- ernment service there are about 100,000 civic servants, yet there are 800,000 names on the civil pension list. lt is reported the first outline of Gfad- stone’s Irish proposals have been presented to his colleagues in the cabinet and that the Premier goes the whole length of restoring the Irish Parliament. A Kingston, Ont., girl has dismissed her suitor at the request of her father, who offered her a perfectly lovely sealskin s cque for so doing. Shelikes her sacque better than he likes his sack. One reason why more people did not go into the ark is that Noah neglected to ad- vertise the excursion in the daily papers of his time. There is a great moral lsison embraced in this circumstance. A young commercial traveller, who was on his bridal tour and spending a few days at Monaco, waa found dead on the 24th at Monte Carlo. He ruined himself at the gaming tables, and then committed suicide, One of Mr. Talmage’s recent sermons on domestic subjects contained the assertion that ‘divorce was the first course in the menu of hell,” which is not the first coarse remark that has fallen from him, by any means, Mark Twain : As for me, [ hope to be cremated. I made that remark to my pas- tor, who said, with what he seemed to think was an impressive manner: ‘I wouldn’t worry about that if I had your chances,” A newspaper of Beloit, Kansas, says that in Clark county, during a recent snow storm, a large flock of sheep crowded close together, and the snow, melting for a while and then freezing, fastened the entire flock together. In the Roman Catholic Church at Ottawa, on Sunday last, a mandement was read from His Lordship the Bishop of Ottawa, denouncing the Knights of Labor, Tele- graph Operators’ Union and in fact all secret societies. A new book entitled ‘‘Hints to Posts,” has recently made ita appearance. It is to bo hoped that the book will have the de- sired effect. Some poets will never take a hint till they have had a hole kicked through them. George Leib, a colored carpenter of Sa- vannah, Ga., fell backward from a third storey scaffolding the other day, turned a complete somersault, struck squarely on his feet, looked around to see if anyone was hurt, and quietly climbed back to his work. A fatal encounter took place on Friday afternoon near Pineville, Ky., between a man named Lane and five men named Tur- ner, between whom an old feud existed. The Turners were in ambush behind trees when Lane came along the road and they all fired upon him. Lane saw one of the Tur- ners step from behind and shot him dead. Almost immediately afterwards Lane fell pierced by several bullets. Official returns of the health office in Montreal, for the year 1885, have been is- sued, The total number of deaths was 7,825 as against 4.353 in 1884. Of these 6,178 were French Canadians, 896 other Catholics and 929 Protestants. There were 3,164 deaths from smallpox, and from all preventable diseases, 4,554. There were 5,876 children, 122 between 80 and 90 years of age, 23 over 90 years, and one over 100 years. . THE DATLILY HXAMINER, FEBRUARY =a'7,, 1886. PIANO TUNING. R. W. A.
