our Toronto Letter*
The prize fight feature so prevalent in
America to day is to be regretted, but
after all when stripped of all sentiment,
is it any worse than our presumably in•
nooent game of lacrosse or football ?
And are these exhibitions of our animal
nature any more censurable than our em
000810011001 and political squabbles?
If our promised fortb•oomiogCanadian
Alien Labor Law does not do more than
Mose the door against Arnerioan tramps
it would be sufficient justification for its
existence.
Canada could wish for nothing ninth
better in American legislation than that
they ehould keep right on with their pro.
tection fad for tweuty-five years longer.
Our supremacy over them on the great
lakes and the seas w0old by that time be
so oompletely established that they would
never overtake us.
The large list of fast freighters being
fitted out for service between Great Brit•
cin and our maritime cities show clearly
from what sonroe Canadian expansion
may be expeoted. Nature clearly pointed
oat this soorce of wealth through com.
inexact seventeen years ago, but we foolish-
ly adopted the protection humbug and
have lost just seventeen years out of the
last quarter of this marvellous century.
What has become' of the Canadian
exodus to the States ? By recent census
it is shown that seventeen in every one
thousand of our population were bora in
the 'United States, hence the Canadian
exodus must have been very largely off•
set, if not balanced, by an equally as
great moue from that country to this.
Sir Charles Tupper's antiquated weep -
ons of cane and creed which he has been
braodisbiug again in the Commons at
Ottawa, are feared more by his erstwhile
friends than by his opponents. Those
weapons which smell of blood would be
more becoming to a Mohawk chief of the
last century than to the Cumberland war-
horse of this year of grace.
Tell them quickly 1 Orangemen who
read the newspapers and are thus posted
in current events ought to make baste to
tell some of their more benighted breth•
ren who are still talking about the Mani•
tuba school question that it ie dead ; that
it died the same day last Summer that
Sir Charles Tupper's Government did,
and that the i11aoitoba Legislature the
other day buried it. The funeral was
private, only three mourners being pros.
ent, and one of them so iunoxant that be
couldn't read or write. Tell them that
to keep on talking now about the thing
will melte people suspicious that in the
langue;:e of James Fax's immortal dog-
gerel their ear's are longer than they
really ought to be.
"How are the nighty fallen" in the
respect and reverence of their parishion-
ers will apply forcibly to the Quebec
Bishops who so offensively tried to gag
and bind band and foot their Laymen in
their choreic. The most of them have
made the discovery that the day of eo-
elesiastila I domination is past in Americo
and most of Europe. Laymen are men
and the peers of their clerical brothers,
and are fully aware of the fact that 00-
cleeiastical anathemas are as harmless as
the ravings of anybody else who lacks the
physical power to execute them.
Much is being written and said about
the papal abnegate now in Canada to un-
ravel the tangled web into which the
cathodic church has fallen in Quebec and
Manitoba. The readers of tine journal,
however, may rest assured that Leo
XIII is no novice in Statecraft, and that
the representative he has sent to study
the question on Canadian soil is not 111e'
ly to be a t'eeohorn (11 politics or reli-
gion. Wll.n be gets through the bumptu-
ous priest of St. Boniface will be a very

The Americans are likely to copy the
Canadian banking system. If they would
also adopt the Canadian spirit of getter•
osity and fair play it would improve
their reputation among European nations
and the depreaoed etate of their com-
merce at home. Canadians could also
import a large quantity of the American
product called "bustle" to very great ad•
vantage, and that other distinctly Amari•
can oomrnndity °ailed "venture" would
make a good mixture with our vast store
of caution. Reciprocity would help both
ways.
Provident Kruger, the plain old Dnteh-
030.1 of the Transvaal, is daring as well
as stubborn, but he will find that it will
take more than main strength and awk-
wardnoss to make the British lion lie
down.
Will they? Will tate ohummbes and
temperance orders which have been urg-
ing the Legislature to peso a more
thorough License Bill unite heartily with
the Government oflioials in enforcing the
clause that provides total prohibition for
young men under twenty -One years of

place in the pulpit eulogize that feature
and urge young men to acusppt it 0 Thfs

It is said that the oliur0h nailed The
Latter Day Saints le making oonsider•

mystery shout such a thing as that.
The Latter Day Sainte have learned how
to read the 131110 literally and to take

With the abstruse oaleulatione by which
the date of Baster is determined, bob a
few general rules might be given for their
enlightenment.
The regulations of the Conned of Nice
are four : first, Laster must be oelsbrat•

must follow the fourteenth of the patella!

fourteenth day falls on or next follows
the day of the vernal equinox ; fourth,
the equinox ie fixed invariablin the

This Wander moon, it should be 110•

vene, nor yet the moon of the astrono-

these conditions it fellowe that Easter

TEE BRUSSELS POST
THE !DATE OF EASTER.
The date of Easter is determined by
the eooleelestioat oaleudar,of the Catholio
church. It is a very complicated and
elaborate affair iuvented by Lilies, a
Neapolitan aetrouomer and sage, under
I
cps Gregory y XII.
I at
the close of the
o"
where there etre already enough and to
spare. The millions of earth rental) out
empty hands and are given tarts instead
of bread, told of blessings for the spirit
instead of health and healing for the
body, The Latter Day Sainte are mak-
ing headway not beeae5e their theology
is better or even as good as that of the
ohurobee,but because they believe that
God means what he Bays in the Bible and
that the blessings which are said to be-
long to men on earth they have on earth,
and offer them to 111012 now. Our greater
churches would honor God vastly more
by doing the same.
HAPPIEST B01 i?l P1111 1i1SGi)OIt.
Once there was a king who had a little
boy whom he loved, Ile gave him beauti•
fel rooms to live in, and pictures and
toys and books. Ile gave him a pony to
ride, and a row.110at on a lake and serv-
ants. Ile provided teachers who were to
give him knowledge that would make
him good and great.
But for all this the young prince was
not happy. He wore a frown wherever
he went, and was always wishing for
something he did not have.
At length one day a magician came to
court. He saw the boy and said to the
king : "I can snake your son happy, but
you m10t pity me a great price for telling
you the secret."
"Well," said the king, "what you ask I
will give."
So the price was paid. Then the magi-
cian took the boots into a private room.
110 wrote something with a white sub-
stance on a piece of paper. Next be
gave the boy a candle and told him to
light it and hold it under the paper, and
then see what be could read. Then he
went away.
The boy did as he had been told, end
the white lettere turned into a beautiful
bine. They formed these words : "Do a
kindness to some one every day."
The prince made use of the secret and
became the happiest boy in the kingdom.

trouble developed into pneumonia in its

The death of Dire. Thaddeus Smith,
of Bay City Mich., last week recalls to
mind a pretty little story oonoerning her
honeymoon and subsequent marriage.
Dirs. Smith before her marriage was
Catherine Felton. Her parents lived
directly across the street from the
parents of Mr, Smith, her future hus-
band, in York, Out. At her birth Smith
was called in, and upon remarking what
a pretty child she was, he was jokingly
told if he waited for her be could have
her for his wife. This 1•ervark was lateen
in earnest by the shy, bas..1,4 boy of 19.
As the girl ;few to nm,ide, 1 cod a strong
bond of friendship sprat:, up between
them, which later ripened into true love,
and neither ever had armee to repent of
the boy's determination on that day
when ebe first saw the light, At the age
of 10 she was led to the altar by the intim
who hod waited 19 long years for her,
and the union tosulted in four children,
now grown up. Two weeks ago Mr.
Smith died a4 the age of 85 years, Ile
came to this city in 1804, and recouped,
by judicious lumber investments a for -
thus made dating the construction of
the Welland Canal and shattered in the

Smith contracted et alight cold, which
she could not throw off on account of her
advanced ago, and it developed into
pneumonia. Airs, Smith's remains were
laid beside the man on whose strong arm
she leaned from the cradle, The couple
were universally beloved and respected.
buggy owing to the pain they caused me.
My lungs also troubled ins and I raised a
great deal of matter. I than consulted
the beet dootor we have in this section of
the province. Ile told me candidly that
I was past mediae] help. He said tbab
my left lung was in a state of collapse
and that my right lung was affected.
This was in July, 1805. For the next
three months every day seemed to draw
me nearer and nearer the end. I was so
pressed for breath at times that I could
not walk any distance without stopping
to regain it. In the month of November
I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Fills.
It was certainly a forlorn hope and I
admit I did nob aspect mnob benefit
from them, but took them rather to
please et friend who urged me to do so. I
believe I was surprised when I found
they were helping me, for I thought I
was beyond the aid of medicine, but help
nee they did, and I gladly oontinaed their
use, The result ie they have made a
well man of me. I have not a pain
about me, my breath comes as freely as
it ever did, and I am strong and vigorous.
