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. a • 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 iron. Take the single rticle of 'machinery ; there is nothing t at he cannot meke as well as any othei nation in the world, from the tiniest w tch to the magnificent Corliss engine. SiThat a contribution to the practical agric lture of the world has his reaping and. ra wing machines proved' to be!

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 mpathy.t--Scribner's 1.nthl of 11y for Feb., d18187g7ra. ce the French if an's fraternal sy How She -Obtained an $80,000 \• Necklac . -1 A singularly cunning r bbery was late- ly' perpetr ted at Florenc . An English- man'acco pawed- by a g rl of 18 arrived at a fashionable hotel; hired handsome rooms, paid their bill eegularly every week, and dived exceedingly well, but without foolish expenditure. The man brought With him a writing bureau, whichhe placed against the door of the -room whieh coMmunicated with the apartment 'occupied by hie daughter, and she had he escritoire against the same door in hell morn. Soon ;after . their ar- rival -the man visited a leading jeweller's stote, and Made several jjurchases, pay- ifig for theta on the spot, and at length 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 and at length decided to take for$80,000; but lie- explained that he had not so large a Sum by him, and must communicate with his London bankers, and appointed theTuesday week followieg as the day when the necklace should be bought and day the jew- and he found writing bu- ndle of bank o count them, nows nothing prise for her," the money paid. On that eller-repaired tp the hotel, his customer Betted at hi reau. He took out a 'b _notes, and was proceeding saying, "My daughter of this.I am preparing a su when there was a knocI at the door, and the young lady came n to say that papa's tailor was waiting to try on some clothes. •Papa instantly closed the secretaire toconcealthe necklace, and as she stayed in the room and began talk- ing to the jeweller, said he'd go and see the. tailor and come -back presently. The young lady stayed sense timeand gave the jeweller the chan e of quite an /1 agreeable flirtation. At le gth she said she really must go. The jeweller then tried the secretaire, found 't locked, and felt quite happy as to the i ecklace. He waited, and waited,. until when three 'hours had.',nlapsed, he rang the bell and told the waiter to tell the entleman he could wait no longer. But neither fath- er nor daughter were for booming, nor have they since been seen, nor has the necklace. It was found that a nice little hole had been made thro gh the door, and the' splendid ornament having been neatly hooked and landed the hauler had quietly stolen away. The despair of the poor jeweller may b91imagined.- In_dependence Beige. , _ Ho.aest ‘100 Rymal o • Affairs. The following is a full speech delivered by Mr. for South Wentworth, in Commons, and referred to mentary report last week: Mr. Ryinal said: I thin which relates to the produc papers -a matter of very ance-has taken a very (Hear.) -Much of it has ar relations which exist betwe ber for Cumberland (Dr. his latest follower (Col. Campbell) whom the honorable gentleman wishes to ex- • hibit upon every possible occasion. The hon. gentleman seems to take es- pecial pride in these exhibitions in the same manner as would an old mother hen, (laughter) which, after having un- dergone, for along tirne, the process of hatching, was rewarded with a single chicken (loud laughter), wliich she ex- hibits in the barnyard in s4ch a manner as if to say, "No other hea in this yard has such a chicken as I have got !" (Roars of laughter, ia w Macdonald and Dr. Tup joined, though Mr. _ Cain hearing is very deNctive, a scarcely catch the 'drift of which caused the laughter, Political eport of the Ity m al M.

I fear that e honorable •gentleman's disa t t ppoin men will be as great as the mother hen, who, after a few weeks, discovered that her chicken was a young. goose. (Sheets of laughter.) There is an old fable, which I read when a boy. It was about a 'moth - wolf, that after great and maternal long- ings, was rewarded with the birth of a single whelp,- which she handled very ondly. Her fondness for it was almost unspeakable (laughter), but in her fierce affection, as the fable said she Great Western Railway. hugged the whelp to death. Now, I trust that the moral of this fable, -the fate that befel the whelp -will never be the fate of my honorable friend from Victoria (laughter), whose pluck and 1 THE HURON EXPOSITOR.1 ‘,1 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- nal. 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. Grand Trunk Railway.
