F., Kincardine, as well as every Forester in- the district, have every reason to feel gratified at the sue. oess et the demonstration held in Kincar- dine on Wednesday, 2nd of August. The weather was perfect in every respect, the Committee of rnanngement had every- thing well in hand, and now that the celebration is over there is ample cause for oongratulotions on every hand. Business houses and residences were more or less decorated with tbage and bunting and everything betokened joyous festivities. In the morning the local courts pared• ed to the station to welcome the visitors. Two heavily laden epeoial trains from the south reached there about noon. In the meantime the oalitlhumpians caused much amusement on the streets, while the Kincardine Band, a really excellent musical organization, discoursed music galore. The peooessiou formed at two o'clock in the following order : Bros. henry Bennett, Dan. Norman, Murdoch Mc- Lennan,John Peireon and Wm.

The local branch of your organization already occupies a prominent place among the fraternal societies in this vicinity, and, if tiro eharaeter of its membership may be taken as an index of that feature of the entire order, you may well bo con- gratulated upon including in your ranks a fair share of the roepectebiliby and intelligence of the Canadian people. As an institution, Canadian in its' compost - time and omposi•tioeatid designed not only to improve. the moral and social attributes of those who become oonneoted with it, hob more especially bo benefit financially those de- pendent on them, you deserve, in cum• loon with other orders of a like nature, all proper oneouragement, and wo are pleased to learn, from the oiilolaf reports from time to time, of the very satisfao• tory pregrest you are making in point of membership and financial standing, and our beet nope fa that such progress may continue in liberal measure.

Owing to some hitch or misunder. standing, Reeve Thompson, of Huron, did not have a Mane to try conclusions with Reeve Bland's Kincardine township stalwarts. At the requesb of the oom• mitten, Bro. Meek selected a team from diose present on the ground, and on authority of Wm. Beane, the team captained by the latter although defeated two draws to one, gave Mr. Bland's heroes cue of the strongest pulls they may ever expect to have in a lifetime. Barrister Morrison, of Lucknow, made a satisfactory referee. At the conclusion of the match Mr. Dark's meu gave three cheers for the victors, and on Mr. Bland proposing three cheers for the vanquish- ed, they were given with a hearty good will. The names follow :—Reeve Bland's team—Wm. BMW, Abe Bevans, R. John- ston, Dan. Cameron, Kenneth McKenzie, B. Moulton, Jos. Young, Dan. Kehoe, Arch. Robinson, Wm. McKenzie. Mr, Daok's team—John Hayes, John Walker, Angus MoDonald, Mike Stroud, Wm, Stewart, Jns, McCullough, W. J. Mc- Cullough, John Malieuzie, A. J. Oainer. on, Mal. McDougall. In the latter team there was one from Huron, one from Ashfield and one from Greenook ; all the others were from Kincardine township. The lacrosse match was a splendid exhibition considering everything. The immense crowd did not leave the boys mush room for play. The Monarch ran an excursion whish was largely patronized. Mr. Wylde occupied a prominenb posi- tion at the head, of the procession carry- ing a deer's head as a bremetplate. GEMMS OP '1'11000111`. Hypocrisy y is the readyhomage that vice pays to virtue. Sin is like a river whish begins in a quiet spring, but ends in a tumultuous sea. Happiness is at the fingers' end of all, but how many miss the bloused treasure by their own unworthiness ? To become an able man in any pro. feseion whatever, three things are 919008. easy, whish are nature, study and practice, Do that which you judge to be right, Whatever the vulgar may (effete of you ; if you despise their praise, disregard also their censure. The indolent are not wholly indolent. Though the body may ehlet( label-, the brain is not idle. If it does not grow corn it will grow thietioe. It le melee to pretend to be what you are nob, than to hide what you really are; bat he that can accomplish both, leas little to learn in hypoerisyy, A man should be virtuous for hie own sake, though nobody were to know it ; a0 he would be clean for his own sake, though nobody were to toe him. Till we have refloated on it, we are scarcely aware hots mush the Mine of human 'happiness in the world le indebt. ed to this one feeling—sympatley, I1 will afford sweeter happiness in the boric of (loath to leave wiped one tear from the cheep of sorrow, than to have ruled an umpire, to have oontluered mil- lione, or to have onehtvsd the world. While in all things that we sou or do we are to desire perfection and strive for it, we are nevertheless not to set the meaner thing in its narrow accomplish. meat above the nobler -thing in its Mighty progress. A love of good nlay be cultivated to al• most any extent where the original foundation of an unselfish 091000e exists, A, passionate ideal of ex0811en00 can so Jill the mind that no pleasnrs is felt in anything but in strong persistent offorbe to realize lb. What aa r you waiting for v ' f ? Some un- seen event which is to lift yon osb of your deathly abate and strained position? That indefinite undefined "soiehleiug," which "sOlneleow" is to pet tlhiuge all right. Ale, don't be deeoivsd ; tidal waves don't sweep woes abagnaut pools, What The t$rogshops Cost. A0 a crowded meeting in Exeter hail, London, I heard one of the great 5m• p:oyers of labor say that he was a partner in ir0u works employing 6,000 men ; that the works tver0 never run on Mon- day bootee* the men Were nob reooverod from thole debauch of Saturday night and Sunday ; that many of the men did not return to work until Tuesday, Wed. nosday and some of thein until Thurs- day ; that by this stopping of the works the company loses $176,000 a year. But this was not all of it. I do not know what the average wages were, lint with skilled and unsltillea labor it meat bo at least 91 a day. This would males the annual loss of wages to the mon more than 0270,000, because many of them lost more than one day in the week. The country lost the value of the 270,000 days' worst of the men. The loss in that one establishment was more than 9445,000 a year through the grogehope, not reckoning the loss to the country. This is not an exceptional ease, but may be taken as a fair sample of what is going on through many of the industrial ee- tablishments in the country. A CILEBi'L' SOLILOquY. I was handed a little slip of paper by one of the leading stationers on which was printed "Credit Man's Soliloquy," which I thought was one of the best things in its way that I have seen. It reads as follows :— "To sell or not to sell that is the ques- tion, Whether ie is better to send the goods And take the risk of doubtful payment, Or to make sure of what is in possession And, by declining, hold them. To sell ; to ship ; perebanoe to lose— Aye, there's the rub, For when the goods are gone, What charms eau win them back From slippery debtors ? Will the bills be paid when due ? • Or will the time stretch out till the creole of doom ? Whet of assignment? What of rela- tives ? What of uncles, aunts and mother -fn - law, With claims for borrowed money 2 What of exemptions, bills of sole and compromise, That cooly offers a shilling a pound ? And of lawyer's fees That even eat up this poor pittance. Yes, sell we must And some we'll trust, We seek the just, For wealth we lust ; By 909110 we're cussed ; And stooks will rust ; But we skin the west, Or we'd surely bust." 1 e16' To Have A Pleasant Visit. Avoid controversy and argument. Do not monopolize any good thing. Do not overdo the matter of entertain. mint. Do not make a hobble of personal in. firmities. Go directly when the call or the visit is ended. Do not forget bathing facilities for the traveler. Make yourself at home, but nob too numb so. In ministering to the guest do not ne. gleet the family. Conform bo the customs of the house, especially as to meals. Let no member of the family intrude in the guest •chamber, Do nob make unnecessary work for others, even servants. Be courteous, but not to the extent of surrendering principles. Do not gossip ; there are better things in life to talk about. When several guests are present, give a share of attention to all. Introduce games and diversions, hub only such as will be agreeable. Better simple food with pleasure than luxuries with annoyance and worry. Have a oolnforbable room in readiness adapted to the needs and tastes of the gaeet. A guest need nob aooept every proposed entertainment ; lie should be considerate of himself and of his host. Learn the likes and dislikes of those who are to be entertained, but not through the medium of au imperative naten hiam. AGi 113.8 RA18'8 DRINKING 11081 6001). "No, boys, I'hn going to quit—this time for good," said a melancholy young man to a orowd of cronies as they stop. ped him hi front of a saloon and asked him to "take something." "Yon know I have been with you for years and the 'painting' we have done has given this town a vermillion hue. Bub I must quit now. It may be a little hard with me at first, but in a short time I guess I will be able to rid myself of all desire for those jolly rants and revels that we have bad together, "Yes, the resolution is a sudden one, but it is none the lees firm.

Some of the loading 0ftizens of Aber - dm gave a banquet last week to the Earl of Aberdeen, the new Governor- General of Canada. The Earl in a ep000h dilated upou the energy with whish the Canadians had built up their ioabitutiono. This energy was all the more oreditable he said, seeing that 000108a's nearesb neighbor was her powerful bub friendly sister nation, the United States, a nation whiob had great wealth and a vast popu- lation, and whiob enjoyed special MOM - ties lot rapid progress. Canada, he added, understood and would prove the advantage of a steady and safe if gradual advance. She also understood and ap- preciated the benefits arising from ample autonomy, combined with a vital but abeolutely unhampered connection with the British Empire.
