HASZARD’S GAZE'I"I‘E, MARCH 28. The St. Johns New-Brunswicker says. From what we have learned there is no doubt that a Prohibitory Liquor Law will be carried this session, to come into operation next December. The llill before the House is very stringent, and if ever it can be carried out it will make quilts it change in the traflic. Holloway’: Pi'llr.—\'VondcrfuI Cure ofa diseased Liver. Emily Ilurton. aged 34, of Ilulifax.

About two months ago,slie couimeuced using IIollowsy‘s Pills, and compiled with the printed directions, which produced a very pleasing change, in live weeks, the bloom of of healh was again upon her cheeks, being perfectly cared. to the surprise of her friends.

To the question whether the House of As- sembly would pass an Act similar to that passed in Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, enabling aliens to purchase and hold lands, in fee simple, we have received an answer in the negative. and the reason given by one of the administration, is. that it is not expedient to give to the Americans every thing, without getting some thing in return ; by another. that eyear's dela can do little harm, and that it can be passe , ifnecessary, next session. With respect to the first of these answers, we re I that the Actsliould be passed for our own sa 'cs, in order to attract foreign capital to the Island, in place of the fisheries we have lost. We have alread given up to the Americans all that we had va uable to give them, and we have got nothin in return, for the Reciprocity Act is its beneficial to the Aiiicrican people as to those of this Island. American fishermen will come here for the season, take advantage of our shores to dry their fish upon, and our harbours for rofiige, spend ii. few dollars erhnps on milk, eggs, and fresh meat, and, like birds of passage, when the cold of winter comes, spread their wings and fly. 'I'hc capital mode by the fisheries will centre in the little fishing towns on the coasts of the United States ; whereas, if an Act enabling them and other aliens, to pur- chase Iands were passed, we should have the chance of seeing some permanent fishing estab- lishments begun upon our own shores, which would serve as schools. in which our own adventurous young iucn might be disciplined into becoming goo fishermen, and eventually entering into similar undertakings on their own account. Nor is this all, let it be well known, that real propert can be purchased here, and we shall have men ofiiioderate capital emigrating froiu the States whose presence wou d be of infinite servicciu stirring up ii. spirit of emulation among us, and whoseimone might serve to replace that which is fast leav- ing us, for it is a melancholy fact, that some of our wealthiest and most enterprising men of capital are quitting our shores, we fear never to return. As to its being a matter ofniiiional concern with the United States, a few moments’ reflec- tion will convince any man of common sense 4 thing that can be done to make it better and more extensively known, should be attempted. As to the postponing this neccestir iiieusuro to another session—Tlio treaty goes into substan- tial operation this ensuing summer, and it is but natural to suppose, that ii. number of our enterprising and speculative neighbours will come over to see how the land lies, and ascer- ain what can be done. Now the Iirst thing t that will strike them as stninge—we should r say unacc-ountabIc—will be to lind a complete monopoly of land, on the one side by the pro- rietors, and on the other, by the law and the 'overnuicnt——tliat in the surroundin larger and wealthier colonies every facility of settling is ullorded to the emigrant, come from whence he will, while in the smallest and poorest, every impediment to enterprise is studiously maintained and upheld. Now, Iirst impressions are alwiys the strongest, mid it is to be lament- cd that the Island, its natural beauties and advantages excepted, presents nothing coni- inanding or attractive. A capital or metropolis which would not stand it iiiouient's comparison with thousands of villages in the United States, without a Bank, Public Library, Athentieum or any of these institutions which bctoken a people somewhat advanced in civilization, with streets and squares, encumbered with nuisances, unliglitcd, implanted and uuudorn- ed; laid out and begun to be inhabited eighty six years since, it presents an aspect of strug- gling with povcrty, which must, to these repub- licans appear wholly unaccountable. Tell him however, and he must and will be told, that in addition to a monopoly of land which has been lyin upon the inhabitants like an incubus dur- ing the whole of these years and preventing suc- cessful exertion, the (lovcrnment sets its face against encouraging the importation of foreign capital industry and talent, that it refuses to pass a bill to enable aliens to hold land, and he will no longer be surprised at tho evidences of poverty of both purse and mind, that surround iim on every side, and may and must, if he have the common feelings of humanity, bestow ii. sigh upon the unhappy condition ol'apeoplo who possessed of such a soil. climate an situ- ation, are at least half a century behind the rest of America. But what makes the refusal or neglect of the Government to pass an Act which would be but corollary to the Act of Reciprocity, and, as their own organ, the I'.‘1ami'nrr, at the coin- nienccmcntoftlio session advised us," would be passed as a matter of course,” we find the whole Ilousc agreeing, not only in passing an Act of Naturalization for James Scarl Mann, a native of the United States of America, but in passing it at the ex once of the Colony, and we were glad to see the Act introduced, and the disposition of the Ilouso to ass it upon the general principle. But why, since the principle has been conceded in one instance, not extend the benefits of it to the other citizoiis of the some Republic, and not only to them, but to Germans, Swiss, French, and other foreigners? We trust that the Government will take these remarks as they are meant, in good part, on reconsider the matter. Let them not be as- hamed of complying with advice, though not coming from one of themselves, and, above all, let not It. false pride prevent them from altering their 0 inion, and consequently their measures, To run Eniroii or Il.isz.utn's Gszsrrl. whent at altcrtion will be for the public good. 18 that such can never be the case.

D the feelings, are too evident to need illustration. It serves also to divert the attention of the young from amusements of a questionable character ; and it is known that a reformation in manners and habits, has in more than one district, been ellectcd by introducing vocal music among the youth. Music is in itscll, a source of the purest erijoynieiit, it may occupy the vacant hours, express innocently and happily the lively feelings of childhood and outh, and all’-ird rest and refreshment to the mind wearied with the cares and labours of life. The glodncss ofthc heart is calmed, but deepen- cd by its power, and sorrow becomes soothed and alleviated by being expressed in sun . When in the turbulent scenes of life, thong many an intermediate association for good or for evil liiitli passed away, the little liyinn chanted by a fond mother, comes rushin upon the mind, in all the freshness of juvcnilii emo- tion, and effects the change that the stern lessons of religion and nionility and the still sterner ones of misfortune have failed to ac- complish. So seldoiu is the proper cultivation of music admitted into the general plan of edu- cation amongst us, that the advantages result- ing therefrom, must he to most of my readers in a great measure conjecturul, yet the subject is worthy of consideration, in proportion to its iuiportance upon the youthful fcclin vs what- ever. Singing is naturally the over owing of kind and ioyful feelings, those parents and children w o sing together have been observed to entertain a stron er attachment for each otlicr—the family circ e and the family hearth are duly prized, for here can always be found » amusement, and such as do not lead into temp- tation, they can truly sing "Home, sweet Ilome." When singing is used in the family devotions, it tends to produces. proper frame of mind, it throws a delight and interest into the exercises, which calls up and fixes the attention-—young voices around the domestic altar, breathing forth sacred music at the hour of morning and evening sacrifice, is a sweet and touching accompaniment of a sacred duty, as a stimulative of good or preventive of evil.
