And the Northern and Suthern States, though still retain- ing their individuality, have merged into the Great United States with one ambition and tt conntno,<n aim. Scotland and England were separat- ed by centuries of the bitterest feuds that the history of the world can riched by the hearts' blood of Scot- land's gravest and best, and the bitter wail that went up after the bloody fight : ".Woe to us, and woe to Scotland! 0, our sons, our sons and men !

THE 13i11 for the establisliment of a Coliege of Undertaking and Embalm- ; ing has been shorn in committee of its compulsory features. These were all ...truck out, and the Bill goes bask to the House merely providing for the establishment of the college, with the power to grant diplomas and certifictes of registrating. , The•right of registrar tion'is extended •to all undertakers and -embalmers now in the business in this Province. After receiving `a diploma from the college, an undertaker may l,ssume the .title of , fellow of the col- lege. • A penalty of $20 is fixed for the unauthorized use of this title, with '$50 as a penalty for a second offence. The undertakers, have thus received the'sane treatment as the stationary engineers. - • to1Iz11l1tniCationti, We iris: it to be distinctly tntdrrstood that we tlo not hold ourselves responsible for the opinims expressed by correspondents.

But, keep Cecil, tuy friend ! it is neither very patriotic aur very wise to allow blind and un= ryasotjii::g sentiment to shut out the teachi1,4's of reason, and every reason- ing mit:: ;gust, sooner or later, become convinced that Annexation is the fut- ure of our contry.

And England could point to the flower of her chivalry heaped upon the gory field of Banockburn, cut down by the claymore of the hated Scots, and trap- ped like beasts- by the witty Bruce. P3etry, history land tradition all alike tended to deeped the hate between the two nations. Their languages were different and their religions woresepar- ated by as cruel persecutions as the world ever saw. They had nothing to draw them 'together, but a common commercial interest, and who will say these Scots betrayed their country when they united with England. The energy. wasted in •bloody • feuds, trying to keep up an imaginary !ine. has been enployed for the gond of. their com-• mon country, and has tnade Britain the greatest nation the world hasever seen. And yet every Scot is as true to Scot- land as ever and every Englishman thinks there is no place like old Eng- land. But instead _of perpetuating' ry b1O—O fl:utls, they side by side march on to victory, or "Shoulder•to shoulder face the foe, • Atod,meet their doom like men. Thus • united Great Bri.tain stands pre-eminent in peace and war, while separate 'neither England nor Scotland could amount to anything.. And so might we instead of wasting our ever= gies in trying to'maintzin an imaginary line and •in keeping up the, most extra- vagent government on earth, unite .with the United States:and devote all our energies together 'with theirs int building up the grandest nation on the earth; and, which will be just as much our country as Canada is to -day. , Then our brightest and best intel- lects will be kept in our own country instead of helping to build up another, We have as rich natural resources as any•country under the sun, but as long as we remain as we are they. will never be fully developed, simply because we Gan . neyer furnish a paying home market.. In order that our resources may. be fully developed we must have free trade, and free trade to bring. about any :practical result must .be permanent; and •,izi order to secure pernnanent free trade we must have political union. Nor. would • such a union be disloyalty to Britain. Britain entertains just as' friendly a feeling 'towards the. United States as she does towards us and in almost every treaty affecting the two . coun- tries Canada Ilan been discriminated against in favor of the United States. 'fins greatest enterprises in the United States are run with .British capital, and thousands of—people are going from Great Britain. to' the United States every year. But it may be said than five million of people united with sixty-five millions could not get a fair representation. .England has 493 members and Scotland 60 in the British parliament, and •have' Scottish rights been disrega-red' 'or .Seo.ttish. freedom violated.? No,. because they have a common aim and are .British first and • Scotch and English after. And so would Canadians. be equitably and fairly represented in the greater Canada fumed by they union of the two countries, ,and that quality Which has always brought Canadians to the fore would give them the highest posi- tions, the greatest honors, and the highest offices in the grandest nation on earth, might then be attained by•, the poorest Canadian goy. Canadian thoroughness and • Y ankee enterprise separated can never attain their highest end, and the day is com- ing when Uncle -Sam and Miss Canada shall unite and they twain_shall be one - and John Bulls holding out his hands, will say, "God bless you my children May you bel appy, hall the (days of your hr'xistence."
