TUE 7Lauiteba Parliament is in session, There will probably be some very inter- estiug disenesions and Premier Green - way's course will be closely watched. Ir the mnelt talked of Protection is such a good thing for this country the proposed Retaliatory 13)11 of President Cleveland should do us an immense amount of good. It will surely be pro. tection with it veriganer•. A „Ont, deal has been said about the Early C)oeing By-law in this and other places and the general iwpress.on ap. pears to be that it is 1101 desirable to re- tain it on the municipal statute book. There was too precipitous a mix at this new law last spring and in many plane it was illegally paused and injudiciously. enforced, but after ail it does not speak very much for those towns and villages that passed the By-law une week and re- pealed it the neat. The law is all right as far as the employees are concerted but it is rather arbitrary in that no man in allowed to accommodate a customer with- out running the risk of having a fine im- posed. Looking at the law from a busi- ness standpoint we have conte to the conclusion that very little business is transacted, ass rule, after 7 p.m. and that done On Saturday nights up to 10 and 11 o'clock could just as well be done before 8 o'clock. It is doubtful if it pays for wcod and coal oil to keep a shop or stout open after a o'clock. Brussels has given the Early Closing By-law a fairly iwith fewexceptions, , d 1 at da trial l good it appears to have worked verysatisfact- orily, in fact there is very little notice. able difference between it and the course pursued by our business men in the past excepting the penalty clause and the grocers coming under the saute rule as the dry goods men. However, it rests with those specially interested whether it is revoked or nut at the close of the summer.

To the Editor of Tun POST, Dien Silt,—In the columns of last week's paper I noticed a piece written against certain parties playing croquet on the Sabbath day and bringing out an estimable young lady before the public because Iter habits were distasteful to your correspondent. Oh ! when will peo- ple cease fault-finding with their neigh- bors ? When your correspondent sae those young people playing croquet on the Sabbath (as I can furnish evidence he did not) why did he not, when he makes us believe he is such a Cltristiao, go and talk with them and point out the wrong ? Did he go home and take it to the Lord in prayer ? Ah myfriend,I'm afraid yon forgot to pray foyour neigh. bars. Try it after this and don't run t0 the newspapers and tell the public rath- er than your Maker. I think your cor- respondent's motto is what the Quaker said to his dog, "I'll not beat thee nor abuse thea but I'll give the an ill name." To read his letter you would think be was 0 heavenly watch -dog to guard the house of the Lord from admitting those who do not appear to him as Christians, but let me warn him to be careful lest he is met with "Depart from me, etc." I think he would profit if he attended Sabbath school, let alone teaoh a class, and praise God more and blame his neighbors less. Let him ask the Lord to set swatch over his lips. Thanking yon foe your spans, I am yours, Peen PLAY. • .1 }tttahr.; act has It 1 .1x-1 ia511,'1'111NC.

Uta Sunday morning a farmer of Smith. amid, living about 8 miles from St. Thomas, drove in with a load of wheat, arriving about o'clock. Tha deserted appearance of the streets struck him as remarkable for a Saturday, bet he didn't notice his mistake until a passer by ask- ed him what he meant by hauling wheat on Sunday. Then he drove into the Hutchinson House stable as quickly ae he could, unhitched his horses and rode home, leaving the load in the stables. Be explained tbat his neighbors were drawing in oats when he left, so he never dreamed that the day was Sunday. A Donald, B.
