Old Neptune girdles the with loving arms— Atlantio billows wash the eastern strand. Pacific heaves with gentle, zephred wave - lots, Thy fair, west land, 0141 limas to thy north holds a stormy revel, And rules his region with an icy wand; But gently throws his snowy mantle round thee, Thou fair, tweet land. Thy fields aro boundless, and thy treasures countless ; Thy mountains pierce the clouds with summits grand ; Thy rivers, lakes, and streams are full of gladness ; Thou fair, sweet land. Thy sons aro freemen, stalwart, brave, and loyal, And, fair as flowers by amnmor breezes fanned Thy daughters, children of a noble mother, Thou fair, sweet lend. Oh, daughter of a mighty, honored nation, Thy intnro shall a world's respect coin. mond 1 Work out thy destiny with fearless glad- ness, Thou bravo, young land 1 THE NEW YEAR. What will the New year bring ? What secrets are locked in its bosom? The diol and mysterious tramp of the days and months that are coming, Already their footsteps, which lately but dimly and faintly resounded, Strike ou our ears with the hum and the bustle and din of the present. Like to the varying tales in a book which is written and ended, Closes the old with its changes of grief and of joy and temptation, With its good resolutions and struggles with self and thewearying conflict. Over and past are they all and naught but the lingering memory liemaineth to bring back the thoughts and emotions they once had excited. Andthebitternese changesaud softens when nothing remains but remembrance, Wbilet all that was joyous and sweet is hallowed by time and increases. What will the New Year bring? Will it bring us sorrow or gladness? Will death take away from amongst us the form of a fondly beloved one? Shall wo have sorrow and pain ever present with us as our portion? Or will the days glide past in tranquil calm end enjoyment ? We cannot tell, for as often the donde when gloomy and lowering, Threaten but roll sway, giving place to the brilliant snnahine, And as the fairest of weather of't suddenly turns to the tempest, So with our hopes and our lives, and the changes are quick and incessant, Changeless alone in the midst of all that changes and alters, True love remains, steadfast, unaltered by years or misfortune. Not the love that is built on the love of a form, or a face, or a feature, Dying away when the beauty and spring- time of life has passed over, But the love of a soul for a soul that time only atrengbhensand deepens, This is the love which surviveth as trouble and sorrow o'erwhelm us, Clinging as tendrils of ivy cling to the tree they encircle. Life and its sorrows are burdens no longer to hearts thus united, Binding them closer together, the fiercer the storms sweep around them. Tranquil may those whose hearts are thus bound and wrapt up in each other. Watch for the coming of New Year with never a doubt for the future, Not oven death can them sever, far beyond the grave and existence, Reaches the love wbieh is earnest and true, the love which is real.

An Ottawa dispatch says :—)3on. R. W. Scutt, nuttier of the Canada Temperance Act, or "Scott Act" as it is oommonly called, in a eenverea- tion, stated that the Act in question was in no way affected by the recent decision of the Privy Council on the liquor license acts. The case of Rus- sell vs. the Queen, decided by the Privy Council three or four years ago, was a test case under which the con- stitutionality of the Canada Temper - am Act was clearly established, In drafting the act of 1878 the powers conferred, under the 92nd section of the British North American Act, upon the Provincial legislatures were kept prominently in view, as will be seen by reference to sub•eeotion 4 of sec- tion 99 of the temperance act, where- in provision is made that the druggists and other vendors who were to be permitted to sell liquors for medical and other purposes are to be specially licensed by the lieut•governors of the various Provincee. By section 24 of the liquor license aot of 1884 the is- suing of these licenses was attempted to be withdrawn from the Provincial authorities, and was vested in the Board of License commissioners. Hader the regent decisions these vendors, who are now selling in what are usually called Scott AO counliea under licensee granted by the Board, are selling illegally, and they subject themselves to all penalties contained in the aot of 1878. Justioe Henry, of the Supreme Court, however, does not subscribe to this view of the tease, and contends that the Brutish North America Act never intended that Parliament should have the power it has exeroieed in the passage of the Scott Act. He maintains that the reoent decision in the liquor act, which has justified his contentions regarding the powers of the Province ial authorities, is mole as to make it clear that the Soots Act is ultra vireo. Ho thinks that if the licensed victual- lers carry out their threat of testing the constitutionality of the Scott Act they will destroy it. Cauad axi Lefewrg. Toronto bay was frozen over last Sunday. Chatham street railway is now in running order. Mr. Moody, the evangelist, will visit Montreal on Saturday next. Private letters received at Ottawa from Sir John Macdonald state that he will return to Canada in about three weeks. The proprietors of dry goods, boots and ehoee, and merchant tailor stores in Stratford have agreed to close then' plaees of business at 6 o'clock p.m. from Tan. 1st, 1886, to April lst, 1886. A swindler, who gives his post -office as Luoknow, is trying the ol(1 dodge of tempting the telnptible by offering to sell $200 of counterfeit money for $20, If anyone is criminal enough to send the money he well deserves to lose it, Geo. Glesseo, of Brantford, twenty years ago ran a needle into his foot. On Sunday kart he felt a curious itch- ing sensation above his knee, and in a short time the long lost needle made its appearance in this vale of tears— and it wasn't rusted, either. D. Ljllico, of Blenheim, took 120 loads of turnips off 8a acres, which he says is somewhat better than Peter Marshall's 825 loads off 11 acres,— Henry MoVittie, of Blenheim, a1;10 toes the line, and gives us his record as 90leads off 211 Acres, making 3,100 bushels, Which tops bir, Slillioo'gY `17 k1 BR (T8f3EL8 COST.

Eneland give instruction in bee•koep- ing to their parishioners. A correspondent kills Canada this• ties by pouring a small quantity of benzine around the roots. He claims that one apt lication will do the busi- neon thoroughly. This isn't exactly the time of year to try it. but it may be well to make a note of it for future reference. The experiment of milking cows three times a day was tried at the Iowa Agricultural College, and the average daily gain of the herd was 4 pounds, or half enough to pay for the extra trouble and expense. The in - cremes in milk is not considered suf- ficient to pay for the labor and ex• penes ; even Shen cows yielding over twenty quarts daily are steed. The only advantage is that the cows will have to be kept in the barnyard and Roiled, thereby effecting a greater saving of manure. The famous Lorillard farm In New Jersey contains 1000 acres. The barn has stalls for 56 horses ; 40 hands and 15 teame are employed in the farm work. In ono building there are 200 stalls for cattle. The pigpen is 408 feet long and holds 300 hogs. The corn crib holds 10,000 bushels of shelled corn. The stable in which the yearlings are housed contains 68 box stalls, and the Gen - tee of the three sections of the build- ing is covered with glue, and affords a dry place where the colts can exer- cise in wet weather. The great cost of fencing materials is inducing farmers to consider how small a portion of the time it is in use. Those who do with the least seldom use one-quarter of their fences in one year, and the expense of the remainder is a dead loss. By mak- ing • portable fences a very small amount of fending materiel will be needed, even where the pasture sys- tem is kept up. When a farmer on high-priced land gets to this point he will be very apt to take one step fur- ther, adopt soiling and dispense with fences altogether. FARM HINrS FOR JANUARY.—Of course before you take your vaoetiori, the farm harness will be oiled and re- paired, the waggons, and sleighs, and buggies and carriages, carefully ex- amined, and the nuts tightened.

Of course you will get the harrow teeth sharpened, and the woodwork saturated with crude petroleum. The manure will bo all drawn out and piled in tho field. You will get everything ready for the lambs, and the peus will be mads comfortable for the early spring pigs. You will have a supply of troughs and racks. Hoops will be tightened on barrels.

The potatoes in the collar will be sorted over, the decayed ones removed, and those intended for seed, for market, or for home nee, put by themselves.
