NIGHT THOUGHTS
I3Y U. W. GOODWIN.
'I'm midnight! on the sleeping town
The silvery moon shines calmly down,
And lightly streaks each sleeper's breast,
As fearing to disturb their res't ;
Like nymphs her bright beams seem to dance
O'er Hurons sparkling, vast expanse;
And oft thetsher's lively note
- Is borne from out his rocking boat,
With IIDISiC'S full entrancing sweep,
In tretubling cadence o'er the deep.
I stand upon a lake -bound -peak, -
And hear the wares their secrets speak.
In deep -toned accents. each to each,
They murmur truths I strive to teach:
"Far down beneath our surgMg waves
How many found their early graves!
At morning's dawn or noontide's hour
They left their homes m strength and power,
And ere the sun had dimtn'd the sky
We taught the proud ones they must die.
How gaily o'er the sun -steeped tide
Each day we Inc the pinnace glide,
Whose inmates never dreatu of wrong,
But wile the hour with sweetest song.
Nor think they sail With flutt'ring breath
O'er deeps that hide the gates of death!
Vain dreamers -all of human mould, -
They pant for poWerand pomp and gold,
And e'en while sweeping o'er our tide
They fill themselves with empty pride.
Could they but see with mistccleanal eyes
The countless, fieshleis spectres rise,
That found within our cavern'd womb
In youthhood's prime a tearless tomb,
Mow soon would reason teach the soul
To queueh the lamp and break the bowl,
That tetnpt the golden hour ot youth
To reckless Ming—foul untruth."
More softly the cold waves broke
.At the foot of the crag -built beach,
But still in the daekness they spoke
With a hollow -toned voice to each:
"Two million suns, on yonder hill
Have poured theirfloods of golden glory;
And we have still—oh, ever still—
The same sad, old, unchanging story:
Throughout this wondrous length of days,
Has vice upraised its spectres eyer,
That darkly streak man's life long weya,
As pine trees shadesomewoodland river.
The sea—the mountains, as of old,
Still wear the aspect God bequeathed;
The hilts uprear their summits bold;
The sea Is still with salt -foam wreath'd.
But who can see in traitor man
With pompous pride his neighbor scorning
The pure, untainted form that ran
Int guileless ways m Eden's morning?
There's blight upon hts onward path.
Where'er his heart with sin hath striveni
Aid scarce one fleeting charm he hath
Of all the bright ones God had given." ,
* * * * * * *
I mused teside the sounding lake;
Its gentle murmurs seemed to wake
A voice of wisdom to my ears -
A warning to my coming years ;-
It spoke Inc truths which each one ought
To grave upon his inmost heart.
Let me essay tbe things it taught -
For those who ton in mammon's mart
God is the maker, man the spoiler,
Blared and marr'd with sick'uing crime—
In ways of evil an earnest toiler—
Tempting God full many a time.
God had him fitted to virtue's ways -
Things of good for his hands to makiL- -
Chauntings 0!' joy for his voice to raise,
Paths of right for his feet to take,
Going abread in the ways of life;
Meeting men of evil thought,
He mixes him up in their fitful strife,
Crowns the labours they have wrought.
Godench, April 26431,1870.
The Tariff.
In theilebate on the Tariff on Wednes-
day evening our representative spoke as
follows :—
Mr. CAMERON (Huron) said at the
commencement of the session there was a
general feeling on both sides of the House
in favour of a national policy. In the
early part of the *session there was a- urt-
animous opin ant:inside and outside 'that
House in favour of a national policy, and
protection of native industry. .
He said that a great number of deputa-
tions had waited upon the Finance Minis-
ter for that object ; and in the face og all
those representations the Government
would not be worthy of_the place they oc-
cupied if they did not attend to them. He
was not a supporter of the Government ;
but had listened with great satisfaction to
the Finance Minister when he brought
down the -tariff, and was ready to accord
to that Minister a cordial support en that
policy. He heard yesterday afternoon
with great regret that the Finance Minister
was going U.:exempt coal and wheat from
duties; but that Minister did a wise and
judicious thing in returning to the duties
he had proposed. He (Mr. Cameron) could
not, for one, see that the Governtnent had
submitted to humiliation or degradation
in this metter, and in returning to the
duties on coal and wheat they had taken
a step in the righe direction. He Would
oppose the motion made by the hon. mem-
ber for Glengary to put flour and meal en
the free list. Re would vote for. tfie -
.scheme of the Government because he be-
lieved it was for the interests of the coma -
try, and he believed if they stick to it
(Hear) it would. be for the benefit of the
Dominion.

Parhamentary Peoulation.
The Public Accounts' Committee had
the pecnlations of members of Parliament
in respect of mileage allowances before
them again yesterday. Mr. Walsh was
-penitential but Uol. Gray sent a message
1in justification of his offeneA. It appeared
that he held a Commission for the per-
formance ofes _certaifrom Govern-
ment for which he would, o courso,e
well paid. If was also elicited that he
had his family with him at Ottana and I
had rented his house and sold off his fur- I
niture at St.- Johns. Even Sir Francis
Hincks was obliged to admit that there
was no k
dissentingvoice as to the im-
propriety of Col. Gray's conduct. It
will be seen whether, after such an ex-
pression, the "Honourable!" John H.
Gray, member for St. John, N. B., dis•
gorges his plunder. After the foregoing
business had been- gone throng, h, the
Committee passed a series of resolutions
calling on the Government to collect
moneys due to them from Road and
Harbour ijompanies for interest and
other claims. . .

DEAR Sra. —We cannot premit you to

inknoderich and its vicinity without taking
the opportunity of recording the high
estimation in which you havesbeen held

School, the success attained by many of
your pupils attests the value of the inst-
ructions you imparted. The interest you
felt, in all matters connected with the
proppenty of our Town is known to all.
Of your kindness and affability on all oc-
casions we would likewise express our
appreciation. We sincerely hope that
your remoyal to Toronto may prove -bene
ficial to your future success, and to the
welf-being and happiness of yout
Wel trust that though removed frem
amtingst us we -shall often have the pleas-
ure of seeing you and as a slight token of
our regard and esteem we beg your accept-
ance of the accompanying Souvenir as a
memento of our social intercourse during
past years.
• Dated at Goderich, this 2'7th day of
April A. D. 1870.
E. L. Elwood, Rector of Goderich and
71 of the leading men of the Town.
REPLY.
IT. the Rev. Canon E. L. Elwood, M. A.,
' .Eural Dean, Goderich, and others:
1 REV. SIR SL GENTLEMEN.—This kindly
presentation was altogether unexpected by
me: In arranging for my departure I have
naturally been reflecting on my connection
with Goderich during the last 37 years—
whether 1 had discharged rightly the pub-
lic duties I had undertaken and whether
I had fulfilled the more pleasing and genial
duties of social life. I &tn free to own that
your judgment is more generous and
charitable than my own. Yon have kindly
adverted to my charge of the Grammar
School. It formed my chief employment,
the one in which the prune of my life was
spent. 1 had. intended to pass my more
mature age amongst those whose minds in
early youth I had been somewhat inetru-
mental in forming and to have witnessed
for- my self the result of those principles I
had endeavoured to iustiL Many are now
settled down occupying respcnsible
positions with credit to themselves and
usefulness to society, and I am proud to
say that one of them represents the North
Riding of Huron and is Mayor of the
Town of Goderich. I have ever anxiously
desired the prosperity of Goderich. 1 sin-
cerely trust that the protection preposed
will enable you -more fully and profitably
to develop the Salt manufacture. I have
ever been sanguine of the ultimate pros-
perity of Goderich and I have no doubt
that there is now before it a bright future
MY only reason for leaving Goderich as
a residence is that haying accepted the
General Management of the office which I
represented locally 1 am required to have
a more central point for the convenience
of the different agents. But gentlemen it
is impossible that a connection with God-
erich riveted by many public and social
ties can be severed without many r•egrets.
Pardon me if the excitement of the
moment disables me from expressing my
feelings as I desire. Allow me to say that I
shall ever retain the most lively recollection
of the many pleasing reminiscences at
Goderich, • and I am only happy to say
that my present duties will nouble me to
renew old friendly associations by visits
which I shall endeayour to make as _numer-
ous as possible.

Great Britain and her Colonies.
The Subject Under Debate in the House
tst of Commons.
GLADSTONE EXPRESSES THE SEN-
TIMENTS OF THE CABINET.
. London, April 26.—Bernal Osborne has
been awarded the seat in the House of
Commons fur Waterford, Ireland.
Daoiel Maclise, the celebrated artist,
died last night of heart disease. He was
nearly sixty years of age.
London, April 26.—ln the license of
Commons Mr Monsell, Under Colonial
Secretary, said that the order had been
sent to Ottanra to disband the Canadian
Rifles. He added that the Government
was still deliberating oyer.the Red River
difficulties. .
Mr Torrens moved that a committee be
appointed to investigate the official actions
of the Home Government with the British
colonies. -He Insisted that the colonies
were grossly ill treated, particularly those
f.tf New Zealand and Australia.
Mr Eastwieltseconded the motion. He
urged the lightening of tbe colonial relatiou
witha England; the abdication of her
authoritY had left it possible.
Lord Bury, on behalf of the Colonies
repudiated such pretensions. The Colonies
,were now really self -governed and well
governed. The system was voluntary,
elastic and durable. He thoughtesuch an
investigation would be not only worthless
but mischievous. C. B. Adderly support -
,e tf the policy of the Government. He
said the withdrawal of the troops was a
return to the most successfttl Colonial
Policy heretofore practiced and would lead
to the deyelspment of self dependeuce,
national vitality and strength.
Messrs Fowler, Maguire and others
followed. Mr Monsen hoped that the de-
bate would prove that England and the
colooies were notindefferent to each other.
He was sure the colonies were loyal; but
he thought their present relations with
the home Government were unsatisfactory
and therefore he coin d support the motion
for an inquiry. England was bound to
maintain her position as a first class power
and that she could not do without her
colonies.
After some remarks from Sir 0 W
Dilke, Mr Gladstone rose to speak. He
asserted that the Government was a unit '
in regard to the policy of the Office. The
present state of feeling about the colnnies
was due to the rapid relaxation of their
bonds within the last thirty years, where-
by they had gained a practical autonomy.
A century would see that if separation
should become necessary, it would be ac-
cotnplished without convulsion or violence.
A free and voluntary contract was the
only; possible basis for union., The Previ-
ous question was then moved to avoid a •
decision, and was-agrreed to by 48 majority.
A Gallant Act.
It warms the heart to read the little
story told at the meeting of the Royal
Humane Society, when the silveremedal
was voted. While the Hercules ironclad
tvas lying in the Tagus, anchored in 19
fathoms of water, one of her ordinary sea-
men, named John Cochrane, fell overboard
from the main rigging, and, as the poor
fellow struck his head against the chains
in going down, he went into the water
senseless and helpless. Besides being very
deep, the Tagus is a river in which the tide
runs frightfully strong, so that a drowning
man is soon sucked under by the eddies
"Jack's" chance, there, would have been
slight if the crew had waited to lower a
boat. But the commander of the Hercules
Lqrd Walter Kerr, saw the sailor fall,and
observed that hie had no power to keep
himself afloat ; whereupon, without a
moment's hesitation, he sprang feom the
bulwarks of the ship—a height of -thirty
feet—into the stream, and swam to the
seaman ; whom he succeeded in holding
above water for ten minutes of terrible en-
durance, until two ship's boats reached
them, and took up the commander and his
man, nearly dead. All holt& to Lord
Walter fur this admirable deed, which
proves to us that these present days of
ironmongery, in the navy hare not ex-
tinguished the glorinus spirits of British
sailors 1 We thank the gallant and n nele

Defective Navy-

WASHINGTON, April 21.—In the HOUSE
of Assembly, Mr. Washburn,of Wisconsin,
considers the Navy discreditable to the
country. Referring to the co m menial iron
steamship of England, he said that by
them what little American cotninerce there
was left uould be swept from the ocean in
thirty days. The United States had no
suchships. This is a most hu miliating state-
ment, and he thaught • it well to consider
whether the United States Government
might not aisely divert a partof the money
now spe,nt for the Navy in encouraging
the building of a class of ?hips that would
be useful in peace and in war.

About ten o'clock tide morning (26th),
oue of the most melancholy eases of sui-
cide which has taken place in this city or
vicinity for many years, (=erred on Bur-
lington Bay, a ehort distance out from
Cook's wharf. The particulars of the af-
fair, as gathered by our reportereare
ly as follows : At the time mentioned
above, Mr. Charles Beckett, who is well
known in the city as a professor of music,
hired a small row boat at Mr Itastien's
boat -house, and started out, heading in
the direction of Oaklands. Mt. Bastien,
of course; thought nothing further of 'the
matter at the tune. Soon after, two lads,
named respectively John Runterford and
David Coulter, who were out in a sail -boat
discovered a hat floating in the water,
which attracted their attention, and vvhilte
endeavoring to seize the hat, the boat in%
which -they were seated glided past the
lifeless body of Mr. Beckett, which ap-
peared just then to have come to the Bur --
face. Coulter caught the body and dragg-
ed it to the sterti of the boat, and- then'
secured it by means of a amall piece of
rope. Rutherford and Coulter both say
that bleed was visible on the water when
they first caught the body. They hathnot
gone more than 150 yards before the repo
gave way and the body mak. Theron-4'mb
which Mr. Beckett had weed was found
near the spot, and was taken hy the lado
into 13rewn'e wharf. Ire the boat was footed
, an empty razor case, and cn the sideaveve
a number of spots of fresh blood. Ma. Ens -
den states that he saw nettling p either in
Mr. Beckett's manner further than ho
walked more rapidly than usual &mai the
stairs of the embankment leading to tie
boat -house. Grappling for the body has
been commenced, and in thought there
will be little oiffictilty in securing it, as
the locality where it was last :seen is fa-
miliar to troth Rutherford and °colter
