'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 leave us after a residence of over 37 years inknoderich and its vicinity without taking the opportunity of recording the high estimation in which you havesbeen held hy us. When Principal of our Grammar 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.

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 nfficer for an example of real Christianity just at the time u hen we are all debating what religion shall be taught in our sch A whole barge -load ot catechisms and' preachers could not have better euforced the duty of man to man.—Engligh paper. - - 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.

A RESPECTABLE CITIZEN DROWNS IN THE BAY. ta. .•I eatsooria 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 Deceased lead been in the Weetern States for some months past, and returned to this city la.st week. He leaves c wife and small family to rasatnn his rash net. We• sympathize deeply with his relativeo in the city.—Hamitton Times. .
