OurN; tional Pride.
A a nation, w have been- a,ccused of
vanity eand self- lorification, as all na-
tionathave been, and are, that abound
with vitality and possess great resources.
If America is mo •e proud of herself than
England or Fran e. we fail to see it. The
pride of the Eng tshman has been such
that he can har y recognize America as
a nation at all, o as a nation that holds
equal importan e with his own. A
Frenchman's na ional pride is almost
unique in its inte sity. To a Frenchman;
there is.nothing• utside of France that
is worth notice. The nation' is content
with itself and i home; and compara-
tively few Frenc men emigrate or wan-
der-- The Gerra n's "Vaterland" is the
theme of his mos inspiring song. The
Switt, the Swede, the Norwegian, all
pet themselves. If Americans possess
national pride, an are somewhat abound-
' Mg ia its mem stations, they are not
peculiar; and a s u•vey of the subjects of
their pride will sh w their sin, if sin it be,
to be venial.
America is alre dy great in nuMbers.
.Forty-four milli as of people make a
great nation. • T e American territory is
• immense, touchin two oceans a thous-
and lea,gaes apart, and stretching through
all the procluctis e degrees of latitude.
We can grow eve y product of the tem-
perate and the t rrid zones. There is
nothing that ente in to th e Consumptions
• of civilized life th t is not producable on
American soil. We can raise wheat
enough to feed th world; maize enough
to supply the wan s of the world ; cotton
enough to cloth t the world ; cattle
enough to furnis i it with -meat. We
have coal -fields ufficient to warm the
world, -broader t an all the rest of the
world put togeth r, -and reservoirs of
petroleuna sufficie i t to light the world'.
Our immense fial s of timber are laid un-
der universal trib" te. Our mines of gold
and silver and co per and iron are prac-
tically inexhaus ible. Our fisheries
swarm with food f r ourselves and others.
We can grow not nly a better apple but
a better orange tan can be found in all
Europe.

• It is, therefore ot a matter of won-
der that the American is proud of his
country's materia resources ;, and when
he leeks around a d sees how much has
been done in a hui dred years of national
life in the develop en t of these resources,
he may, at least, e permitted to indulge
in emotions of as onishinent He finds
that his country h s laid almost as many
miles of railroad, • nd stretched as many
miles of, telegraph c wire as all the rest of
the world put tog ther. He finds 'a sys-
tem of internal c rnmerce, upon Ameri-
can lalses and ri ers and canals,' quite
unexampled. He can count fifteenhun-
dred steamers on he Mississippi and its
tributaries alone. His greetj lakes are
• dotted all ever wi h the largest crafts,
loaded with the p oducts of the western
' forests and prairie:. There are factories
in operation whic can spin and weave
all the cotton Ids nation can wear;
locks that can p oduce and mills that
. can fabricate all h s woolens; shop t that
make all his sho s ; furnaces that can
smelt, and furnac s that can roll, all his

when he tries, in the practice of arts
which other nations have supposed they

that it is not possible for such a magazine
as this to be produced in anyothercoun-
try for the price at hich it is sold.
None, at least, is attempted. ,Our sew-
ing -silks are already the best produced
anywhere; and so far 48 we have tried
upon silk fabrics, have re succeeded.
All this the nations tliat have visited
our Centennial Exhibition have seen,
and are now comment ng upon. We
have said nothing of tho almost incalcul-
able sums we have expended upon col-
leges, schools and churches, through
which the American people receive their
intellectual and moral culture. The sum
of material investment, and the aggregate
of enterprise, sacrifice, labor and learn-
ing which they represent are astounding.
Almost literally the nation has been born
in a day.
And now what are we going to do with
all this, and with ourse Yes ? We may
well be proud of what we have clone; but
if we cannot govern ours Ives, -if we can-
not give to every man his rights, --if we •
cannot operate the machinery of the free
popular government whi h has been our
principal boast, -all this goes for nothing
in the establishment of the national honor.
We can be the richest, moat comfortable,
most prosperous, most intelligent and.
beneficent people of the world if we will.
There is no limit to o r wealth or our
influence but such as ourweak passions
and selfis'h demagogism may build before
us. If we Cannot be proud of our govern-
ment, of its justice, its aggregated and
consolidated power, its e y and safe ad-
justment to circumstances, its stability
and its purity of administration, it will
be well to ;put boasting far away from us,
and to acknowledge with shame, rather
than proclaim with pride, that, we are
Americans. If we are to drift into revo-
lution, or even into the danger Of it, with
every difficulty, we ma well hang our
heads before the disgrace of the English-
man's scornful laugh a d the greater

How She -Obtained an $80,000

A singularly cunning r bbery was late-

at a fashionable hotel; hired handsome
rooms, paid their bill eegularly every
week, and dived exceedingly well, but
without foolish expenditure. The man

she had he escritoire against the same

told the jevrellerthat he was on the lookout
for a really' splendidparuir of diamonds, ,
with which he wished to present his
daughter on her marriage. The jewel-
ler said that in this case e luckily had
precisely . the right thin, and forth-
with produced a splen id necklace,
which the man examined, tone by stone

but lie- explained that he had not so large

with his London bankers, and appointed

dergone, for along tirne, the process of
hatching, was rewarded with a single

determination I admire, though com:
pelled to differ with' him, in principles.
The ithnorable gentleman is, bound to
belie his say and I am glad .te see men
of that stamp in the House: I am not
afraid to denounce , a good old Tory
(laughter), for I have some respect for
men oi that class who have been born
and brought up in the Faith, but with
men who change their political names
and their principles so often that they
do not remain the same_ for more than
twelve months together, I am utterly
disgusted. (Great laughter.) I believe
the papers for which the hon. member
for Vi3toria asks will be granted, and I
hope that so email it matter will not
again be made the occasion for such a
Tiolant ° attack. If my hon. friends
opposite -,as they have a right to do -
choose to attack the Government, they
should not attempt in this way to steal
a march on them. (Hear, hear.) When
we were in Oppoaition, we gave the late
Administration due notice of such as-
saults ; but whether they desire to steal
a march or not, I warn my friends that
they may look out for squalls (laughter.)
The Opposition mean business, and
whether my friends desire it or mit or
whether they are able to defend their
actions -or not, they will find that they
must be caned to account. The time
has also come round when a record is to
be made, by hon. friends opposite who
are shrewd. enough to know that the time
is at hand when this record must • be
piled up. These tactics will -be continu-
ed, I fancy, and if the Government or
its friends have -beeriguilty of any great
dereliction -of duty, or of the commission
of any great political crimes, I know
that my hon. friend from Kingston, with
whom I have been acquainted for so
many years, will ferret them all out and
drag them to light. I trust that the
Government will be able to dispose of
all charges thatmay be brought against
them. I firmly believe that this will be
the case, and I hope that we may have
a little of the old fire that 'feed to ani-
mate politicians in eld Canada displayed
(laughter), because I have a great admir-
ation for that sort of thing. (Laughter.)
I do not believe in a mamby pamby way
of handling these things. (Roars of
laughter and cheers.) I like to see men
really in earnest when conducting de-
bates -let them lay off their gloves when
they. come into the fray and act as vali-
antly and boldly in the House as they
do at pic-nics. (Cheers and laughter
from Miuisterial benches.) More than
a year ago, I believe, my hon. friend
from Kingston (Sir J. A Macdonald)
rejoiced over the election- of an hon.
member for a riding in Toronto (Mr. J.
B. Rabirison) and expressed his glad-
ness relative to the new accession to his
ranks, as one necessary to render assist-
ance when he (Sit John) met the "beasts
at Ephesus." (Laughter.) A consider-
able time, however, has elapsed, but the
battle with. the beasts has not, as yet,
come off (cheers), but I trust we shall
soon see the fight in progress. (Laughter
and cheers.
A Servant Girl's Work.
i believe it was John Wesley who,
when told that his congregation consist-
ed largely of servant girls, replied that
ha was glad Of it; as they had the care
of the childreii, and if the servant girls
were converted they would train the
children in the fear of the Lord.
most notable illustration of this
trnth is found in a case of one of Eng-
land's mOst honored noblemen. A half
century or more ago his mother had a
serving", maid and house -keeper naraed
Mary Milas. She had the care of this
child, and trained him up tuntil he was
seven years of age, when she died. But
the seed which she - had sown was not
She had set an indelible mark
upon the tender mind of the young noble-
man, and her example, precepts and
prayers, remembered by him, -fixed and
formed his character for good at that
early age. To-dey that little child is
known and honored throughout England,
by every class from the beggar to the
prince, and his name is graven upon the
hearts of the poor throughout the length
and breadth of the land.
' Let those who deem their -position
lowly and their work obscure, tke cour-
age imd be faithful, and if at any time
their hearts despond or repine, let the
name of LORD SHAFTESBURY, with all
the nobility of his consecrated and gener-
ous life, encourage them to -toil on, as
Mary Mita s did, 'assured that God shall
give the increase, and that their labor is
not in vain in the Lord. -League Jour-

lixtraordinary Shooting. Feat.
The London papers record an extraor-
dinary shooting feat performed recently
by Cholmondeley Pennell. He laid long
odds that he could shoot consecutively
one hundred pennies tweed- in the air.
He selected some of the old Georgian
coins, as being heavier than the modern
bronze pieces, and less likely, therefore,
to be caught up by the wind. An old
soldier threw each penny up three feet
above his head, and as he threw Mr.
Pennell fired with small shot, and hit
every one of the coins. He had about,
half a dozen over, and offered to bet any
of the spectators that he wouldhitthose
as well. But they weremore than satis-
fied, for Mr. Pennel had won £250 off
them, making the -money- in little more
than an hour.
