S. A Dear Sirr,—Anyone desiring a _ pleasant trip, during the summer season, could not do very much better than turn his face to- wards your snug little Island of Prince Edward, the capital of which—Charlotte- town—is so charmingly situated. Upon landing one’s attention is at once arrested by the width of the principal streets, which makes driving both easy and pleasant; ind by a view of Queen's Square, which, in the height of the flower season, would ‘ertainly charm the heart of any lover of beauty and gt We understand that the idea of laying out this square in tasteful flower beds ori ginated with a citizen who has planned and overlooked the work connected with the undertaking gratuitously, being satisfied by the beauty and fragrance springing up in the heart of the city. Mentally, morally and od taste. physically, all who pass by, should add_ to their stature by this improvement. We have heard the public gardens of Halifax highly spoken of, and deservedly so, but we think that the beds of flowers in this pretty square contrast very favorably with many portions of these gardens. In looking through the Exhibition held here a few weeks since, we could not but be struck with the generally good appear- the products of the Island there shown. The cereals, roots, cloth and, last but not least, the stock, were cal- culated to impress one with the capabilities of this fine island. Progress seemed written upon most of the exhibits, almost shaking one’s belief in the oft iterated assertion that the ‘* National Policy ” has killed the Provinces. How ever, if it is a fact that the Government of the country has ruined this snug little [sland as well as other parts of the Domin- ion, methinks one wou!d desire to have the requiem of his home and land sung under such very,desirable circumstances. It is said that the stock raised in P. E. Island bids fair to outstrip in quality that of either Nova Scotia or New Brunswick. Ii this be 3», it speaks well for the enterprise of the Vv. E. islanders. But among the many evidences of modern nprovements to be seen on the right and ie't in Charlottetown, there is one lacking vhat surprises a stranger--—1« ack, too, calculated to do much harm Phis is the want of good sidewalks. These seem to be almost invariably puor, broken, und ill cared for. This is untortunate, and spt to impress a visitor rather unfavorably, warticulariy if he has been in danger, on a dark night, of having his ankles dislocated. We have noticed among other attractions of your pretty city, that of a good Reading Room, which is frequented by members of che community of both sexes. This isa wvivilege which must be appreciated by the iadies, as it is one which is denied them in some larger cities. The great Liberal-Conservative of Nova Seotia, who visited the Island a few weeks ago, on Exhibition business intent, spoke in most complimentary strains of the in- telligence of the people of Prinee Rdward island. Cause and effect follow each other in yuick succession sometimes. We presume that literary societies are not rare in this pleasant city; but, as yet,we have not heard of the formation, for the coming year, of a ivult, Whieh sO Inc “Chautauqua, Literary and _ Scientific Circle.” The origin of this useful Society, its aims and course of study, are doubtless known to many in the city. It embracesa course of reading covering four years, although any one can join the C. L. 8. C. for one year; the reading of the entire course entitling one, however, to a diploma. This ‘‘house reading circle” is designed for all classes; for the busy, as well as the one with an abundance of leisure, for the old and the young, and is calculated, in an eminent dezree, for improving the mind, adding to one’s knowledge of the world and for making him more useful and happy. It is an easy thing to join the C. L. 8. C, as no preliminary examination is required. embers are expected to fill out simple memoranda year after year and forward them either to Plaintield, New Jersey, or to Mr. L. C. Peake, of Toronto. The subjects chosen for the present year’s reading cover English History, Englis} Literature, English Composition, Astron- omy, Geology, Pedagogy, Readings from E 1 Social Questions and French Literature, oc. , dccligious Licverucure. A youd deal of this reading is to be found 1ugazine issued monthly in the inter- ests of the Society, the remainder in books prepared by competent writers for this Society.

For the wonderful energy which that Church has nut forth and is putting forth to increase its hold on our town population, for :l the good it has done in town and village alike, we have no feelings but those of admira- tion and gratitude. We cannot do better than imitate its elasticity of method. If it is right to learn from an enemy, much more is it right to learn from a friend.” The Summerside Journal publishes the following ‘‘Notes” from Rev. Mr. John- ston’s sermon on extravagances in religion : In the early ages of Christianity the wild- est fanaticism, yoked with imposture, cha- racterized the superstitions that then prevailed, In contrast to this, the religion of Jesus Christ was remarkable for the sedateness and dignity which ever marked its progress ; the early preachers always speaking forth the words of truth and soberness. There was zeal and earnestness and spiri- tual activity ; but everything was in com- plete discipline. St. Paul says :—‘*Let your women keep silence in the church, let every- thing be done in decency and order. (See 1 Cor. xiv. to end.) ‘It is the special care of Christianity, as it is the requirements of all social wisdom and happiness, to throw the mantle of a retiring modesty, that shrinks from publie notoriety. [t is mainly by the observance of Christian rules for female unobtrusiveness and reserve, that the sex has been rescued from the con- tempt and degredation of Heathenism, and raised to the high and revered position to which it is the glory of Christianity to point. Christianity owes much to the blessed in- itluence of woman, when she wields her power in that ‘‘grandest of all institutions,” ‘‘Home;” where as wife or mother, sister or daughter, she has made that influence felt for good. No feelings are stronger than those aroused by religion, and their tendency, if unrestrain- ea, Causes men to lose their heads and ran in- to all manner of irrational extremes. Men carried away by such excitement in religion, think that their own fevered dreams are sug- the Holy Spirit, and fancy themselves impelled by the true spirit of Ged, Heated to the disregard of all divine law, gestions [rom little children, young boys and girls, have been exhorted to go forth, leave father and mother, and give themselves up to the teach- ‘‘to dishonor the holy law of the religion of ings of strangers which is the very centre childhood.” it is a spurious charity and an unpalatable thing that instead of rejoicing in the ‘‘truth as it is in Jesus,” one must show an_ indul- gence towards error, and shrink from speak- lng out against new-fangled ways in religion, and those who practise them, because they may do some good, or that they may mean well. Though no countenance should be given to extravagances in religion, it should never be the subject of derision. The way by which man is brought to his God is a thing so sacred that nothing ‘* nuclean should touch it.” li any are induced to think upon matters concerning the soul, never sneer at them nor discourage them. Tell them never to jafraid of their good impressions, nor to be presumptuous or over-coniident ; that religion is not a thing of sighs and singing; not etfer- vescent to-day and to-morrow fiat; but that they must cherish good resolves with all diii- gence, and feed their faith with prayer and a due use of all Sacraments of the Church. One carried away by impressions of terror about hell, or delight about the happiness of heaven, is in no condition to approach God aright. Rash, hasty profession is the crowning rival of religion. Excitement is too often followed by scepticism and infidelity. While we would pay due heed to the scrip- tural injunctioas with respect to docorum in religion, and learn important lessons from the history of the past, we are no advocates for the sleepy indifference that characterizes the religious life of many. We deprecate the coldness and deadness that is manifested in an age 80 progressive as ours. We desire that religious zeal and earnestness should be chas- tened by discretion. We should show our zeal for the Lord in works of mercy and love. And we should be ever careful of the honor of our God and Saviour in a world that seizes every opportunity to point with scorn to Christianity and her work. We all want zea) and earnestness and a quick- ening by the power of the Holy Ghost, but it comes in God's own way. By self-denial, by mortification of the flesh, humbleness of mind, less self-conceit,and more of the meekness and modesty that becomes those who are nothing in themselves, less of self-sufficiency and more of that complete sur- render of the will to the teachings of revela- tions and the direction of the Blessed Spirit,” ee a THERE was a large attendance at the market to-day, but sales were not so lively as on previous days.

Councillor Kelly, from the committee ap- pointed at a previous meeting to prepare an address-to Mr, Justin McCarthy, sub- mitted the address, which was, on motion, accepted and sclleted to be engrossed and printed, The offer of Hon. Mr. Sullivan, tender- ing the use of the Legislative Council Chamber for the presentation, was accept- ed, and it was on motion decided that the address be presented by His Worship Mayor Haviland, in the Chamber, on Mon- day morning next, at 10 o'clock. The Mayor read a letter received from Messrs. Peters & Peters asking what action the Council mtended taking in certain Scott Act prosecutions in which they in- tended taking out certioraris. The letter explained that there were some nine cases in all, and as nine certioraris would entail large expense, it was thought that two or three cases, in which all the points could be raised, would be sufficient. After some discussion, Councillor A. A, McLean moved that upon any writs of cer- tiorari being issued by the Supreme Court relative to prosecutions instituted by the police force, counsel be employed in sup- port of such prosecutions to act for and in behalf of the city, and to take all necessary steps for the speedy termination of all legal objections raised by such writs, with full power to make a test case or cases if deemed advisable. The motion was carried unanimously, after which the Council adjourned. Summerside Notes.
