• UNGRACIOUS REMARKS.
The following ungracious remarks
are flour the Montreal 1V'itnexe. The
courtesy of Sir John Macdonald to'
Cardinal Tasehereau "was not need-
ed" because he "is a very simple
Iran, beloved by all," etc. One
would think that such a worthy
church diguitary representing a ma-
jority of the people of the Province
was just the person to whom Lord
Lansdowne or this Government
should extend hospitality in misfor-
tune. And then it is a gratuitous
reflection to say that Isis Excellency
or Sir John \could not have offered
similar hospitality to dignitaries of
Protestant churches _under similar..
circumstances : "At the suggestion
"uf Lord Lansdowne the Govern -
"limit has offered Cardinal Micllor-
"eau the use of the vice -regal qual•-
"tens iu Quebec during his exclusion
"from his own palace—recently dem-
"aged by fire. This was, of course,
"not needed for the comfort of his
"Eminence, who is a very simple
men, beluvod by all, and
"who had many places whore
"ho would bo a welcome and
"honored guest; but solely that
"there may be no interval in his grin-
"coly state. and that he may have a
"royal residence in which to entor-
"tain the Pope's abrogate, Monsignor
"O'Brien. Recently Cardinal Gib-
"bonsivas ashigned a very unusual
"place iu a national demoustration
"at Philadelphia, which his organs
"accepted es an instalment of • the
"homage flue him. 'Thorn is fitness
"in all this, The church that dab -
"bill:. !Dust in worldly glories will
"be the most honored by- the world.
"Dr. Cook or Dr. Douglas might
"have been burned out a dozen
"tittles and might have had halt' a

ill tate ;stlntaner and with "Christ-
mas trees" in Winter, the whole
flavor of the, instittitiou is altered ;
iii is conciliatory and notdeuuncia-
tpry, and meets people half way.
And when the Chureh is once will -
jug to do this, and to trust to honey
rather -than vinegar for its attractive-
ness it has certain immense advant-
ages as compared with the current
forms of opposition. Two things it
has to offer of especial value to the
average human heart—the belief in
immoetality and the belief in the
personal providence or guidance of
the Deity. It is generally admitt-
ed among those who disbelieve in
personal immortality, for instance,
that the belief in it, if separated
from all questions of future pen-
alties, makes teen happier. It is
rare to find a parent, by a child's
deathbed, who actually prefers to
think of that child as annihilated ;
and so on with the other affection-
ate relations of life. Now, the
assurance of immortality is the very
thing which the (lhnrch endertekes
to give; no other organization at-
tempts, officially, as it were, to give
it, except that movement known as
Spiritualism, and this in turn offers
so much which seems improbable or
incredible that the "scientific"
hind commonly fiuds it even hard-
er to embrace Spiritualism than.
Christianity.

strength of Christainity lies in the
fact that, the Churches have to a
great extent abandoned the attitude
of griminess and moroseness. The
most of the people of the present
generation find ,a pleasure in re-
ligion. No matter how utterly in-

—A very .painful occident hap-,
poned to John Simmons, son of Mr.
Charles Simmons, of \Vroxetor.
He was working in Harriston on
Wednesday for Mr. Nelson, and
was in the act of putting the collar
on one of the horses when it turned
and bit him in the face, making a
fearful gash from the lip to the
temple,, almost destroying the sight
of the eye.

Poetic Literature is the'highest of all
kinds of Literature. A perfect poem
is tho perfect expression of a perfect
human mind. The attributes of a
perfect human mind are to know. to
love, to honor, to make. The poet
has a transfiegurine power (i. e.,) • to
throw himself into the beauties of
nature. Byron in los darkest moods
never produced one poor poem. The
power of poetic genius is displayed
by the power to collect the beauties
of nature, and the power of express
soon. Ho did not approve of the sys.
tem adopted by the Educational De-,
-partmeut in taking selections from
some fifteen or sixteen different
authors, and that it would be better
to take soiree good poem and lot the
pupil have a thorough meaning of
the whole.
Miss • Cutely then • explained her
method of teaching writing to begin-
neris, which was well received.,She
approved of the method of t1sinonly
two lines :at first iu the teaching of
such letters a, a. i. tn. and c., but not
in R,arouts teaching children to print
before going to school, as the slant
used in the printing of letters was ,
not the sante as in writing.
Mr. Young followed with writing to .
advanced classes. Several points
were to be attended to such as : posi-
tion at desks, pen Balding eliciormee •
tion of principles.
Meeting adjourned at five o'clock.
During the evening Dr. McLellan •
delivered to tt crowded hall a lecture
on " Critics Criticized." Tho chair
was occupied in au able manner by
Mr. Wade, of Brussels.
The following are some gleanings
from the lecture : Ife believed in
the policy of opportunity, that high
schools are beneficial to the cause of
education, that higher education is
not beyond the grasp of the work-
ing man ; that the working man
should not be despised ; that in him
lies some germ which may be pro-
ductive of some golden deed. He
referred to Scotland as a nation
gifted with -a terve of classical study',
which enabled them to construe the
meaning of some of the noblest pas-
sages in literature. Nor did be let
the Irishman pass unnoticed, his
idea being "that the natural genius
of the Irishman wad so great that it
showed itself, whether he was edu-
cated or not. In conelulsion be pie -
