For taking a life, most people will nonsider this a very light eentence, but on refiention it will be (wen to be a Bevere one, as it was ,evident that Irvine had no intention ,of taking Burke's lite when lig was -maltreating him.. As we have said, the .caption of this :article expresses in effect the verdict rendered; and the judge, in pronounc- -ing the senteucenpon Irvine, dwelt for ,.% short time upon dm cnuse that 1-d to the crime, and gave eepeeesion to some mound views on the prevalence of ,crime and its causes. The prisoners niad been brought to their present con: dition through dritilt, and tbe fact that their previous cliarecter hail peen irre- proachable only ,proved that ell mien given to drink. are :most liable totering -their, career.to en eod, by committing .some crime that would either consign thera to a lengthened imprisonment or 4lie gallows. Nearly all the crimes ,ceminitted are 'seperineinced by whis- -pier, but the judge s,ajti. that that was no reason why , prisoneee convicted of crime should receive any less punish. rnent than -they woeld receive if &Mx had nothing to do with the crime; for :if -.sot i',I. giql, tp prepare himself: COX what he dare not do if sober, could eget drunk and- cenereit the uidet fiend- sIncrinfa imaginable, and then plead ,whishey as a reason why ebeie pep- jdliment should he, light; and tide ex- ressioneviill be eatisfaetory to everyon 1 who desires to see peace and morality ,xuling our Dominion.

Ask them if they fa- vor the federation of the Ernpire, and they have an opinion thereon. Ask them if they favor rep. of minor., and they have an answer ready. Ask them if they think cempulsory voting would proe beneficial to • the country, and they are equally ready to answer that queetion. And ask them what their opinion is with regard to the construc- tion of the Senate, and still they can answer you. As these questions are all favored by " Canada Finn," and in- volve no party issues, the answer will in every cane be that they are just what the country needs to make it the best and brightest under the sun. But ask them what they think of the present Government'is scheme for building the Pacific Railway, and they wauld.prefer to wait until they have heard all its de- tails discussed, and •have had an. op-. portunity of judging it on its merits.

The night was beautifully clear, the air warm and balmy, stars glittered like brilliaot jewels in the over -arching can- ophy, and as the evening advanced the moon shone down with placid grandeur on a scene of ineffable eplendor and magnificence. About thirty couples, representatives ofthe youth and beauty of the far-famed township of Blanshard and vicinity, availed themselves of this opportunity of eujoying each other's society. Dancing coustituted the chief amusement sand was heartily enjoyed by nearly all present. Counts:lances beaming with delight, flushed wine pleasureable emotions, performers skil- led inthe Terpsichorean art, the lash- iouable attire and engaging address of all, fornied it scene brilliant, harmoni- ous and enjoyable. Excellent, music was 'discoursed by a string band under Ake leedership of Mr. W. Barrie, whose skill and competeucy in this reepect are worthy of a provincial reputation. Dr. Hutchinson, Kit -kion, was present to administer soothing cordials and re- storatives in case of overeeertion or excitement. Happily his :medical aid was not called into requisition. At 12 o'clock toe company sat down to a sumptuous repast, after which dancing as resumed and contiuued for some time with nuabated zeal. The courte- ous end gentlemanly proprietor and his excelleut lady used their influence to make all feel perfectly at home and if oven a part of the well- wielies of the guests be realized their career will be long and prosperous.

But in a scientific point of view there does not seem to be anytning to warren, such a view. There can be no doubt but all the phenomena of the weather are governed by fixed laws, and ream - in unerring cycles ; and when the sci- ence of meteorology shall be sufficienly advauced; these cyclical periods will be cleerly determined, and it may be that we shall be enabled to forecast atmos- pheric changes with the same precisior (is we now .10 the motions of the planets and the eclipses of the sun and moon.

The maple is, Most conspicions and wears a dress of`yellow and orange. The beech and ash with others revel in every intermediate shade from the lightest to the darkest brown. The creeper family sport theinselvesin a crimsou eobe;whilst the shumac assum- , es the deepest purple. Then there are others, the more hardy denizens of the wood, which still retain their summer verdure, • as if reluctant to yield to winter's stern decree. But perhaps the most charming part of the picture after all are those like the pine and the spree°, which exempted from the denu- dation remain all the winter ever green.
