Wye Blwitti, a volume of his poems, bound iu handsome green cloth with letters of gold. Mr Smith is a . Congregational nunisterbf Newmarket, Ont., and has been laefore the Canadian public for a number of years ae an author, One of his latest volumes, " The print of his shoe," is published by a lending publishing house of Bos- ton, and has been given a high place in the literature of its kind. Mr Smith is also editor of the Canadian Indepen- dent, published at Toronto, and is now devoting his time largely to literary pursuits. He was in town last week as the guest of Mr Joseph Rowell, and dis- posed of a goodly number of his pooms. This collection of 266 pages is divided into Miscellaneous, Canadian, Scottish, Religious, Psalms and Children's pieces. In many of the verses much real noetic skill is shown. The following witl give an idea of the style of the book:— TIIE MARTYR OF SOLWAY. It Illllst vett be forgotten that dol'?, lag -the leg tent Years there bee peen A great r;•etttii kiln itr Ow sell- ing vah es of tlie't.tap.le at"tioles of .e. commerce, and that the htaplu J produeta of the O;itario farmer, barley, cheese told Cattle, have I been lest' afleeied by this decline 1 Hutu perhaps any other $taple arta• ores. Though their commercial has in tbie respect improved On- tario farmers have been losing money. Unfortunately for them and for the Province, the some- what exceptional circumstances which have hitherto preventsd tbo price of barley declining in sympathy with other breadstuff', appear tolbe so far modified by new conditions that high prices for barley can hardly be looked ' for in the future, • For the past wo years thu Americans have • akon Canadian barley only at; It The tide was fiowin And, bound to a rugged stake, A. fair-haired Scottish lassie stands, For Christ and Covenant sake. g on Solway Sands; She could clie in the bloom of her early youth— (But a passing pang to die!) •But not one word of' the saintly truth Could her guileless tongue deny ! The water had reached her praying lips, And dashed in her upturned eyes,— Add the swoon that led through Death's eclipse Was unfolding Paradise ;— But rough and torturing hands unbound The lass from the Martyr -stake; And she found herself upon Scottish ground, Still mooked for Jesus' sake. "Now swear to the King! or worse shall be! And abjure your Covenant vile!" •" Never !" she cried; "My King is He Who died for me erstwhile "I am His! I am His! I ata bought with blood! Let me go where the saints have gone ! I will pray for your Kin; as I plead with God, I3nt my troth's with Christ alone !" And they bound her again to a rugged stake, In the hoarse advancing tide ; And they saw the gurgling bubbles wake, And the fair hair floating wide— BLit they saw not the gleamu:sof the white -winged host, Nor heard, as she heard, the strain Of the ransomed ones on the Heavenly coast, Who answered the glad refrain,— " Blessing, and honor,- and glory, and power, • Forever and ever shalt be To Him who has saved us in Hell's dark hour, And made us His people, and free !"

It is not hard to account for this, when we consider that it was the first in the field, and gained its popular- ity by long years of first-class service. It has kept, up to the times by adopting all modern improvements in equipment and methods, the latest being complete PullmanVestibuledtrains running daily between Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis, and its route being along the banks of the Mississippi, through the finest farming country, the most populous and prosperous towns and villages, it offers to its patrons the very best service their money can buy. Its dining cars are celebrated through- out the length and breadth of the land as being the finest in the world. Its sleeping cars are the beat belonging to the Pullman company, being marvels of elegance, coinfort and luxury; its day coaches are the best made, and its em- ployees; by long -continued service in their respective capacities, are experts, courteous and accommodating to all. It is not at all strange, therefore, that an intelligent and discriminating tra- velling public should almost exclusively patronize this great railway, with its separate through lines running between Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Min. neapolie; Chicago, Council Bluffs and Qmaha; Chicago, Kansas City, and St. Joseph, Mo.

Although unfortunately,; ,no exact data can be obtained, the evidence obtain- able goes to prove that for the last ten years the farmer's in the mass have not made throe per cent on their rn e ted capital, in addition to tho wages of day laborers, and that a very large proportion of them have been going behind, How Marge the proportion of the land under mortgage is to the cleared area of the Province can hardly be estimated with any do gree of accuracy, but the prove,id'• ing opinion of those who aro best qualified to judge is that the mort- gage burden is increasing and that, in spite of lower rates of in- terest, the vain° of the land is not heir own price, and both the pro• duceis and shippers have suflere in consequon o. This is not t bo regretted, however, as it wa its peculiar value for nutlting pu poses that kept up so long th necessity for Canadian barley i the United States. It is also pro bablo that thorn will be a declin in the selling value of cheese, sim ply because the English market i now attracting cheese in largo and larger quantities from every part of the world. The cattl trade is also in a very ansatisfae tory state, as the prices of prime beeves are 101V01' in New Yor now than they have been for many years, and these are being largely exported, alive and dead, to th British markets, thus lessenin the demand for Canadian stock which, in addition, have to pa much higher freight this year than for several years past. If therefore, the Ontario farmer have not been prospering duri❑ the last ten.years, what will be- come of them during the next ten? That the situation is a serious on is proved by the fact that so so- cialistic a scheme as the substitu- tion of the Province for the Trust and Loan Company., aa. Q holder of the farmers' mortgages, should nave been proposed ._t lc ,a.eceived with some favor, and actually brought before the Provincial Legislature. This scheme is an economically unsound one,, but if the true remedy, the removal of the restrictions which now com- pel the farmer's to buy in an arti- ficially expensive market while they sell in a natural one, cannot be secured, the Province of Opta. rio may find it necessary to come to the farmers' relief in an even more eleemosynary manner. As, however, the farmers of Ontario ht.td the balance of power in Ca- nat:a, an.d their oyes havo been opened by the Continental free trade agitation, it is to be expect- ed that they will demand and will secure the true remedy, and will then be able to' Work •oast their own salvation. from debt and diffi- culty. They' are quite capable of doing this if the burdens of trade restriction and privileges created by Parliament were removed. — Montreal Witness., GLINT`, 1 WORKS In the old Presbyterian Church s nb scriber wishes to intimate that the business of the above Factory is still being continu- ed in all ite branches at the old stand.

An English correspondent of the Country Gentleman thus ex- presses himself: Where rt is in- tended to produce early chickens for market or for home use, there should be a lot of stock birds for that purpose separate from those which aro to produce the layers and breeders, In nearly all countries the- breeding of early chickens is about the most profit- able part of poultry keeping. Tho prices which can be realized the first four months of the year leave a large margin to the pro- ducer, and where the farm is suit- ed from its position and soil to early brooding, and there is a good market for the fowls within reach, this' is a good work that wo should recommend. rho breeder to go in' for. He may hatch • from pullets' eggs if' that beliecessary, as it most probably will, for al- though the chicks Will not be as hardy as would be those from hens' eggs, yet as they are to- bo killed of, no harm will_ bo done. Tho birds will be fed up at the right time, and whatcger weak- ness may be in .,them will not be transmitted to any other than themselves. To secure the chick- ens being readyin time, they should be hatched in November and December. The former will be ready for market in -February, the latter in March ot••Apri1, these being the bust months of the year so far as prices aro concerned. This set of breeding pens may be broken up in ]december, unless a few more chiclks are to bo bred in January, and tho ground may, after a short rest, be occupied by the regular breeding stock, which need not bo mated until tho mid- dle or end of January, It is most desirable that the birds which have laid eggs for the production of the early chickens should not 'be relied upon for those from which theot cf s c breeders eders and lay- ers are to be obtained. In` the ease of pullets especially, the. strain upon the system from the production of so many eggs will have weakened them, acid this w ld bo injurious' .to the later rogony. These, it ,of a sitting variety, may bo used for that pur- pose, as they become broody, and t5is will give them a much need- ed rest. But if non•sittors, they, plan hero recommended will bo found best suited for tho produc- tion of healthy, 'strong, largo fowls. I do not wish my mean- ing to be mistaken. I believe in early breeding, that is early in the year, so as to got the hens to lay? before the winter sets in; whjthe they will not do if allowed to hatch late ;'but I do not believe in the'production -.of, stock birds at an unseasonable period of the year, and from pullets. Febru- ary; is early to set eggs, but not too early. ' April—the month when niost'farm hens in this coun- try, if not well attended to, begin to set—is getting late, and may be, under ordinary circumstances, too late. • CLINTON CHURCH DIRECTORY ST, PAUL'S (Episcopal) —Services on.

Write:them for particulars: Bishop .FIuntington,of .Syrt\cuse in a late interview, spoke against what he termed 'the tendency to push commercial forces in the ehur.,hes, and the placing of rich men in prominent' plfo'es, while the poor in a Worldly sense, but rich spiritually, were kept iii the background. He belie es that such A system will never make a prosperous church.' A Burlington boy, of •the under- . the -sofa variety,pinned his sister's' bean's sleeve to her sash,and'then' told his father there was a man in the parlor who wished to speak with him. There .was no erid of fun for about two minutes, and it all turned out for the best, too. The young man proposed on the spot, and the very next night he brought the bad boy (a`jaek-knife and two oranges.

Her cry brought 3Ir Biggins to the rescue and alae was earrieel'Aafcly- -out. The marks of the horse'a teeth were very deep and the in- juries painful, but no serious re- sults are anticipates).
