win. readers:- . •'
And it came to pass in the jubilee year, in
the reign of Victoria, Queen of Great Britain
and Ireland, that a certain man, named Tom-
'morrough, held sway in the Dominidn of .0a -
nada ; and he w,ss a lewd man; and walked
perversely in the sight of the Lord; and did
laden the people with burdens that are many
and grievous to be borne,' • And I easv that
the people of Canada have erected many tow-
ers, and placid watchmen nun these towers.
There are watchmen upon the towers military;
these aro theywhose duty it is to ward the
people of invasions' from foreign encodes; as
well as conspiracies amongst intestine lees ;

And it came to pass that whenTomnrorrough
saw that the people grew weary of the bur.
dens with which he had ladened them, that
few words in reply to the defence put forth by
&nether member of the seciety. I say again
that the directors have made no special efforts
