Sir John Macdonald, in lt+plying to the toast of the Dominion Parliament, at the Board of Trade dinner in Toronto, spoke as fol. lows:— Oue thing I desire to say on he. half of both Chambers of the Perlia. ment of Canada as now constituted —they fully represent the feelings of the people of Canada, and the feelings of the people in this room —they are a loyal body of mon. They represent the loyalty of the people of Canada. (Cheers) They have spoken and will speak again, they will prove by act and by administration and legislation that they love the constitution under which they live, the sovereigh who now rules oyer then!. They will show that they fully appreciate the great advanta:rest, commercial, poli- tical and moral, that they enjoy by the connection with the grand Old Mother Country across tie sea. (Cheers.) Let any noau go to any constituency in Canada and wake it one of the grounds of claim upon she people's suffrages that he waist so TO SEVER THE TIES that have so long connected us 'with the Mother Country, and I think, gentlemen, that under our rigid law he would moat likely forfeit his de- posit (Cheers and laughter.) We are doing very well ; we are very happy, and the people outside are quite as happy, and, perhaps, a lit- tle happier, as they have not the trouble of listening to your humble servant. (Laughter.) We are happy and we are resolved to remain so, and the best way to do that i•1 to go on as we -have been doing for the last twenty oiu+ years under our present Constitution. Youknow the epitaph which was caryed upon his tombstone by the survivors of a certain Italian, "I was well; I would be better, and here I am." (Cheers and laughter.) And if we try to he better in the way some. few advise us we will be in the position of the Italian for somebody to write the same epitaph over us. We have A Roman Catholic lady , \rho has been greatly interested iu lily plans,. and has interested many Protestant ladies, came to see me one day and said,—" I must give up all further efforts for you.

" Well," I s,id, " I ani in good stau,[iug with thePoise," " Oh," she said, " I am satisfied, but of course, we cannot go against the priests." •1'he old "miserable story—the story which has been the ruin of the Roman' Catholic Church in so many countries in e,o many ages No clatter what the priest does or says, It is "a 81n against the Church," if any objection or criti- cism is made, and so all evil is con• Boned. It is certainly a very easy way of securing the power to do wrong un. -Molested. The lady was sincerely sorry, but what could she do? ''Oh," .she said, "do not be troubled, "for I was crying bitterly, "you know the Church was always persecuted.' "Pardon me," I said, "in this case it is the Church which is persecuting." She looked. amazed, and replied, "oh, I never thought of that," and went sadly home.. "It would he arousing if it was not very sad to Nee how sonie•Ro, man Catholic authorities make so much of the least word from Rome when it is in their favor, and treat with contempt such as are against their prejudices. HEALTEI AND HABITS OF 3,500 OCTOGENARIANS. A Boston editor, who has ,just sent out blank forms to Maasachu setts niea an,d women of eighty years of age and upwarclws, inquiring as to habits, eyesight, teeth, bearing and so forth, says Iron, received more than 3,500 replies, which throw considerable fight on the question of longevity. The corres- pondents mostly ate meat, ad lib., and used spirits occasionally. The old people are from town and coun- try, and•nearly all still lead active lives. They. partake of three meals a day. Men and women alike are early risers, almost with• out exception, and uiuetesen out of every twenty have observed this custom through life. Exercise has been hard up to sixty••five or seventy years, and after that period has consisted (when the regular occupa- tions have been given tip) of walk- ing or gardening, or both. Out of 1 000 men 461 haus been farmers, and the rest are divided among nearly all the other trades and pro, fessions. Tea and coffee drin king was indulged in by fully two-thirds of the 3,500, with some of tht'tn to excess, and of the men, nearly all have both smoked and chewed to- bacco, the amount daily consumed by some having been enormous. Their cares were heavy, their work ardour. All were regular in their habits, with plenty to occupy their bands and minds,and getting plenty of fresh air. There seems to bo, at least, a primal quantity in the solu- tion of the problem of long life. Men like these are able to eat and smoke, even to a point we should call excess, without injury, and ever)" with no evil to drink at times re- sulting. It is those of sedentary habits, who do no hard labor and get little exercise nr fresh air, who must be careful.1 you will allow we I will mention a littler anecdote that was told me by a Toronto gentleman. (Hear, hear.) I don't know why I shouldn't mention hii tame, Sir Wm. How- land, my respected colleague. He told me that a good many years ago he was travelling front Windsor eastward nn the Great Western Railway. Before Bias in the car were two •. Americana—his own countrymen, as you know—and he could not help hearing their conver- sation. These gentlemen were paying their firet visit to Canada ; they were quite ignoraut of the country. After looking out of the windows of the car for a while one said, 'This is not a bad country.' 'No,' Bays the other 'it is not a very bad country.' Then a little further on one said, "rhos is a pretty good country.' (Laughter.) 'Yes, rather a good country,'.and a little further, 'This is a very good country.' I could make it a little more spiey— (roarg};,,, of laughter and great ap, plause) if I could put in the little adjectives and adverbs that garnisb: ed the conversation. But I am afraid there are some glergymen here. At last one said, 'This is a very good country and we must have it.'. 'Well,' said the other, 'I wouldn't mind taking the country, Inn we would .hay.,e...: i' o ke the infernal people too.' (Loud laugh- ter.) You see such is the progress of Canada and the progress of the knowledge of Canada in the neigh boring country, that they are anxious to take the country and all it contains, even the infernal people themselves. Mr. Butterworth sings a pretty little song; 'Will you walk into my parlor said the spider to the fly. No, no, kiud sir, 1 think I have no curiosity.' Cheering and laughter a.id the Premier resumed his seat. VERY GOOD NEIGHBORS TO TILE SOUTH of us. They have a good and great constitution, one in some respects more conservative than ours. They are happy under it, they love it and have fought for it and will fight for it. We have a constitution in no degree inferior and in many respects much superior in my opinion. (Cheers.) And while we desire to trade with them, while we desire to have the most friendly social rela- tions with. them, while we desire that our young noes shall go aeross the lines and marry the prettiest and rithest Yankee girls they can find—(cheers and laughter)—we de- sire to retain our own independence —to remain Canada, a Dation be, longing to a nation. We heard the other day, during the excitement of a great election • in -the' United States, about retaliation. Well, we are not going to retaliate, though we are the younger and bigger and stronger nation. \Ve will be mag- nanimous, and as the fever has dis, appeared in the United States we are ready to resume our pleasant relations. (Cheers.) In 1854, as a, member'ot the Government of that day—fancy, gentlemen, I was a Minister in 1854, before three, quarters of you were born—I helped to carry a Reciprocity Act. We got on very well with the United States. It was beneficial to- both nations, and increased the trade en, ormously. I can't quote the figures —I am not such a book of arith- metic as my hon. colleague who ad- dressed yon—but the United States put en end to that treaty, and we all regretted it. But we didn't despair or despond. We found that the country went on and was pros-. perous, notwithstanding that" -- THE TREATY WAS DUNE AWAY WITH In 1871 1 was one of the British C'ointnissioners who mailed the treaty known as the Treaty of Washington. That ilalso was of grat benefit to us. It settled for the time some very troublesome queRtions respecting the fisheries of which we hear so much, and so much to our annoyance. It was a good treaty, though by the way, I was told that I was a cross between Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold kr voting for it. (Laughter.) But we were all eorry when it was abolished. It was abolished and we are still prospering—(cheers)— still able to hold threw large han- gnets and to bear our leading Hien make speeches such as you have heard to -night. These facts prove to us that if our neighbors, for political or any other reasons, choose to withdraw their very friendly relations, commerctal or otherwise, we are still able to hold our own, still able to pay respects, to the representative of our `sovereign in the manner you have done to night. Our credit will not diminiah and our wealth will continue to increase. I don't think we should be at all offended by the efforts of Mr. Butterworth and others to get us to join the United States, That is A COMPLIMENT PAiD TO CANADA, and a testimony to its value.

The Germania, the leading Catho- lic periodical of Germany, gives the following opinion of this event, It says: "That which the shameless monk of Wittetnherg inaugurated 350 years ago is no longer' looked upon ns a reformation.. No ; it was a rush• ing into a bottomless pit. It is the most flagrant, the most radical, the most wicked revolution which the world has ever seen. It was a. revolution • in the churchly; the religious, the moral, the, politi- cal, the social,. the economic, the learned. the -historical worlds. The foundation of the so-called Evangeli- cal Church ilas long since been understood by intelligent men. According to these, Protestantism is nothing but a mere 'rejection of all and everything that is super). natural ; it explains' everything on the basis of the law of Nature, of natural development ; and not even the smallest nook is left open for the God of revelation. The founda- tions are the purest godlesness and religious nihilism ; and on such a foundation only hate and empty words, only decay and destruction, in time and eternity, can be built."

Pleasures may be summarily divided into three groups—of the senses, of sentiment and of intelli- gence—and it is easier to analyze andl;classify than to discuss the tbo functional, that is, the physio- logical aspect. The question has often been asked as to what consti- tutes the greatest pleasure and who is the happiest man, but :it is obvi- ously one that"does not admit of solu- tion. The intensity of the pleas- urable sensation is a "latter of temperament and surroundings, but, ca3teris paribus, the happiest man is the who possesses the greatest sensibility, the most powerful imagination, the strongest will and the least number - of prejudices. The men are rare who can, by an effort of the will, arrest the oscilla- tions of sorrow and allow only the chords of pleasure to vibrate. Pleasure is the mode of sensation, never the sensation itself, and it is not a paradox, but an incontestable truth, to.say that no pleasure exists which is essentially or necessarily a pleasure. The ideal of perfection in humanity would be to efface pain from the list of sensations and to givo all men the maximum number of pleasures. Ail the rests as the philosopher said, is but dream and vapor. —A little girl in one of the intermediate departments of a school was asked by her teacher the other clay to define 'whimsical.'

I dug it up out of your barrel this morning.' —It has been said of the English Puritans that they prohibited hear, baiting not because it hurt the hear but hecanse it pleased the spectators. Macaulay tells ns that the Long Parliament resolved in 1644 that the 25th of December should be observed as a fast, and that all men should pass it "in humbly bemoaning the great nation- al sin which they and their• fathers had so often committed that day by romping under the mistletoe, eating boar's head, and drinking ale flavor- ed with roasted apples.' . —We understand that , some of our leading citizens blame us for the arrest of Colonel Jim Drake, who was pinched and taken to Omaha the other day.

He began working for the United States in 1829 at $800 a year. In 1836 he was given $1,000 a year , in 185O,f$1,250 a year; from 1851 to 1853 he was paid $1,500, and the next year he was promoted to $1,600. 'In 1864 be was given $1,- 800 and in 1885, on account of advancing age, was reduced to $1,- 600.
