• CANADA.
Canada is a subject ever interesting to
true Canadian hearts. Of all the vast
and prosperous colonies belonging to the
mother -land, our own is the greatest and
proudest. Extending from the ice bound

When first discovered, about four
centuries ago, this whole vast laud tttae
covered by forests and rioli prairie lands,
and abopnded in rivers and lakes, but
wag wholly uncultivated and uncivilized.
Now it is a etrong and prosperous Nation,
able to hold or, its head among the
Nations of the world. How much we
should Honor the memory of those bold
and adventurous discoverers, who emerg-
ed from the darkness of their own age,
and endured hardships and ridicule in
order to find the land which they knew
must exist. We have also to thank our
hardy forefathers, and tate kind aud pati-
ent ministers of religion who lett the
eecurity of the mothor•land, and by en.
during the severest hardships and dangers
laid for their descendents the fonnletimns
of this proeperone colony. It is not to
wealth and rank that the Canadians owe
our present condition, but to the stubborn
endurance and unbending will of men
and women who, whether in distress or
prosperity, labored ie the interest of
home and comltry. I know cf no other
people 1311 the Laos ui t;);0 14iuue w:.J
so patriotic, or so ready t0 sacrifice self
for country as the people of Canada. We

but the motto of Canadians has always
been -.melee,1104 •'Lutz, t•,.•,
But however great the energy and en•
terprise of man, not much can be accom-
plished without the aid of Nature, and
what country displays greeter natural
facilities than ours ? Frem North to
South and from East to West, this
beautiful land is literally overflowing
with the gifts of Nature. Agriculture
has always been the most important in.
dustry of a new country, and the agricul-
turist could net hope to find better sub-
ject for his art than the rolling prairies,
which 000npy the ceutre of the Dominion.
With regard to this industry, Canada has
disadvantages unknown to some other
countries, the United States for example,
as a great part of her territory lies too
far North for vegetation. Hand in hand
with agriculture goes the lumbering in.
dustry, which is still one of the most im-
portant in the land. But notwithstand-
ing the great and endless demand on the
forests, the supply does not seem to be
very materially diminished. Right here
in Ontario, the farthest advanced of all
the Provinces, an hour's journey from
any of the large cities will lead one iato
woods almost es douse as were presented
to the eye of the first settler. The other
great industry of our land is mining.
Nowhere else is there a district richer in
all valuable minerals than British Colum-
bia. But although it is of such great
importance already, the minim; industry
of Canada is etill in its infancy, As the
new member for Vancouver said in Par-
liament a few days ago, if British Colum-
bia only got fair play and was properly
treated by the Government, she would
eetouish Canada by her rapid progress.
Half the wealth of the Rocky Mountains
is still unknown, bat almost daily we
hear n£ tulvanoement in this line.
The vast stretch o2 country reaching
far towards the North, known as the
North W0',t Territory, is yet only partial-
ly explored. Men are continually open-
ing it up, farther and farther Northward,
and able and zealous missionaries are
doing much to bring the people of this
part into couneotion with civilization,
The great runway, etretchmg from ocean
to ocean across the continent, has been
an important agent in exploration, and
in developing the commerce and indns•
tries of nor land. ' Manitoba rand the
s,rrounding districts, whish, net teeny
years ago, were regarded as almost un-
known territory, have now flourishing
Fawns end cities, and enjoy the sumo
educational and poiitiesl at10,1111agoe as

The commerce of Canals, elite:ugh not
yet greatly developed, is yearly inerea5-
in<g in proportions. We hate tun;i pagaed

P,veu now the exportation of grain, fruit
and anttle from the Dominion is of world-
wide importanao,
Just hero it may be said that, while in
times of pence, G.enade has melted in
the nets of peace, yet at times when war
has been nuemos:7 to protcot her homes,

the first clangers our forefathers bacl to
encounter were the attack's of eavagee.
Sometimes•theic little colonies were al•
most annihilated, and oftentimes they
must have almost given up in despair.
Later on when the French, and again
when the Americana wished to thrive out
the power of one motherland, bee sons
rose manfully to defend her rights, and
invariably prevailed against her foes.
Someof the meet brilliant names on the
pages of history are of men who fought
and fell on Canadian battle -fields. If
other oountries have their Wellington,
their Napoleon or their Washington, we
have our General Wolfe and Sir Ieatie
Brook, But while our oonutrymen have
shown suoh determined courage in titles
of necessity, let ue pray that the peace
which we are now enjoying may be con.
tinned to qs. In past years we have seen
sufficient example in England of the
contrast between times of peace and war,

the Old Country, immortalized by their
eeeneetio" with hietory r"• 1•nn+n ma, Tho
country is too new for such. it is a laud
of the present, as the Eastern lands are
of tee petit. But for scenery it is not
easily surpassed. Here we may still see
Nature iu all her beauty, unspoiled by
the arts of man. There are spots in
Canada which tourists from all countries
seek. Chief among them is the Falls of
Niagara, one of the wonders of the world,
It is a scene from which the interest
never dire out, No matter how often one
has seen it, bo is ready again to gaze ab
it with wonder. Another scene renown-
ed for its great beauty is the Lake of a
Thousand Islands, at the foot of Lake
Ontario. In fact all along the chain of
great lakes, which border the Dominion
ea the South, are found snatches of scen-
ery unsurpassed for beauty and variety.
For mountain scenery, among the grand-
est in the world, one has just to take a
trip on the Canadian Pacific Railway,
across the continent to the Roolty Moun-
tains. Hese again Canada labors under
the same difficulties of climate which
were mentioned before, as about half of
her territory is, a great part of the year,
too cold for comfortable travel.

soul of the Nation her

cr.t tical condition, astaerarrive atth

that our present political system has been
tested and proven by the fire of experi-
ence, end has been found most trnst-
werthy. Many methods were tried with
indifferent success up till the title of
Confederation. Since then the system
by which all classes of people are repre-
sented in Parliament, has been satiefac•
tory to all who have the interest of the
country at beast, The division of duties
between the Dominion and Provinoial
Parliameets is well arranged, as is also
the work left to the smaller bodies, the
town and county councils.
The erlucotional system of Canada is
regarded as the best in the world, and
Canadians went to work the right way in
founding it. They examined the methods
employed by other countries, and otiose
what was best and most fitting in each,
Making use of these they built up the
present School System, of which we are
so justly proud. In this land of educe,

But amid all the progress and activity
of our land, one subject, an important
Where are the great poets and writare of
Canada ? Some oertainly have made
very good efforts in both linea, but who is
there to compare with Shakespeare,
Tennyson, Longfellow or George Elliott ?
Probably the reason is that when men's
minds have been occupied by the more
OO,nm00, and more important matters,
concerning the welfare of the state, they
have not bad space in their thoughts for
lighter subjects. Perhaps in the near
future, when men have more time to turn
their attention to literature, we may see
the works of Canadians taking their
places in the ranks with the productions
of other oountries.
And now, although we grant that there
is still great room for improvement in oar
country, lot us be devoutly thankful to the
Giver of all for the many blessings of
nature showered upon us, and also for the
civil and religious liberty woe. by our
fore-fathers,and in which our beloved
Queen leaves all her colonies unmolested.
I am sure all Canadians eoho in their
hearts what they epeak with their lips,
when repeating one of oar national
Gongs
"Did kindly heaven afford to me
The choice where I would dwell,
Fair Canada that ehoi05 would bo ;
The land I love so well.
I love thy hills and valleys wide,
Thy waters' flash and foam ;
May God in love o'er thee preside,
My own Canadian home."
