Somehow tlie people of to -day aint as they used tcbbe, At anyrate, pretty sure they're not the same to me. Issid while there are many just as good as those I used to know, There's spores and scores among them that are only so and so. We always used to take a man exactly as he eaid, But now it' a safe to take him just the other way instead, It does my heart just lots of good to meet cnce in a while Some of those good old fashioned folks so nearly out of style, I wouldn't say the world in honesty is slipping back, I wouldn't say that Christians hunting grace have Wet the track. I wouldn't say that men to -day are less the friends of truth Because they seem to differ from those I knew in youth, Those statements I refuse to make, but this I freely say, Those people please me quite as well as those we meet to -day. Tfleir hearts and hands were honest and their lives held little guile Did those old fashioned people now, so nearly oat of style, We're wiser than they uaed to be, and maybe weaker too. And good old homespun honesty may less our hearts imbue. These latter days we are bent on getting • rich so fast, We havent time to think of things they thought of in the past, We are wildly striving after gold, we rush, and push and crowd, And after I while we'll each be wanting pockets in his shroud.

There is no phase of labor which is not hon- orable and capable of being made higher and better by skilled work- men." Nlye have quoted thus at length because we believe that these weighty words of wisdom should be pondered by every girl in Am- erica who has her own way to make in the world and we can do no better than to close with another sentence trom the RAMO author :- "The women of America aro capable of great things. Alt limi- tations of sex are fast dissappear- ing.

Minard's Liniment cures distemper. Dominion Parliament, the most natural solution of the difficulty seems to be the establishing of Intercolonial free trade, with a revenue tariff, or a mode- aate amount of protection againat other countries. But a far more important question than that of the tariff, or the selection of a site for the federal Capi- tal, will engage the attention of the coming convention, when its members try to agree regarding what powers shall be left in the hands of the local legislatures and what assigned to the federal authorities. With this question will be involved the kindred ones, con- trol of crown lands, and adjustment of existing Colonial debts. Australian statesmen and journalists have lately been studying the British North Ame- rican Act, and the constitutions of the United States, the Swiss and Ar- gentine Republics, and every other confederation in the world, so that if Australia's constitution be not nearly perfect, it will not be because the framers of it hay e not tried to profit by the example 'set them by other countries. It is of course impossible to foretell just what form the Australian Federa- tion Act will take, but it seems prob- able that the American Constitution will be copied more closely in some re- spects than that of Canada. Austral- ians appear to be of the opinion that the B. N. American Act has not left sufficient power to the control of the Provincial Legislatures. It is possible that some "new and startling features," as the play bills say, may be introduced, for these colonies have already stepped out of the beaten track in much of their legislation, and have perhaps advanced further in the direction of socialism than any other country in the world; it need, therefore, surprise no one, if "land nationalization," the "single tax idea," or even "Bellamyism" finds a place in the Australian constitution. It is to be hoped, however, whatever be the terms under which the Austral- ian Colonies unite into one Dominion, that those who frame the Act of Fede- ration will make its meaning sufficiently clear that "great constitutional lawyers" at least will not have occasion to differ concerning it. Should everything go smoothly, in a short time the world will see another of Brittania's daughters taking rank among the nations, and when the day arrives on which Canada, or Australia, or both, shall desire complete indepen- dence, the mother country will not ob- ject. Doth the dull soil Quarrel with the proud forest it hath fed And feedeth still, more comely than itself ? Or shall the tree be envious of the dove Because it c000th, and heti.' snowy wings To wander wherewithal and and its joys? The question of the federation of the Colonies is at present absorbing the attention of statesmen and politicians throughout Australia. The idea of ul- timate union has long been believed in, and occasionally spoken of, by leaders of Aastralian political thought, but nothing definite in the way of federa- tion was ever attempted till five or six years ago, when a Federal Council was formed, which has since met biennially at Hobart, Tasmania, for the discussion of matters of common interest. This Council was never a great success, as its powers were too limited, and the oldest and perhaps moat important colony in the group, New South Wales, refused to have anything to do with it. New Zealand and South Australia also held aloof, and even those who were most in favor of the Council have lately began to admit its uselessness. Many things have occurred of late years to make Australia more and more desirous for federation. The idea has taken hold on the minds of the people that there would not have been so much, yielding on the part of the Imperial Government, during the last decade, had there been a united Australia to protest when France and Germany de- veloped a craze for colonization in the South Seas. Australians are thorough jingoes; they are firmly convinced that the Germans have no right in Samoa or New Guinea, and the French no right in New Caledonia or the New Hebrides. If England will only plant her tlag on any island in the South Pacific, Aus- tralia is able and willing to pay the ex- penses of government. The Chinese question also makes in favor of federation, for though, at pre- sent, Chinese immigration is restricted by concurrent legislation in the differ- ent Colonies, yet this plan cannot be relied upon, as the planters of the southern portions of the continent, who claim that Chinese and Coolie labor is a necessity with them, may at any time have sufficient influence to get Asiatics admitted free; and once let "John" set his foot on Australian soil, he will not remain long in the tropical parts, but will soon find his way across the borders, into the cooler Southern Colonies. The defenceless state of many important strategic points around their coast shows Australians the ne- cessity of a united effort being made to fortify these places, for England's colo- nies will have to depend largely upon themselves for protection, if the mother country ever becomes involved in a great European war. The present generation of Auatralians, having been born in the country, are developing a commendable national spirit, and while retaining all their attachment to Brit- ish ideas, are growing each year more desirous to see Australia take her place among the nations, free, united, and progressive, England's loyal daughter, and strong and faithfull ally. The for- mation of an "Australian Native's As- sociation," three years ago, lies done not a little to foster this ,Australian patriotism. Nearly 'everything in fact, of late years, has operated iri the one direction, and Sir Henry Parkes, pre- mier of N. S. Wales, and the most pro- minent figure in Australian politice,was repeatedly called upon by statesmen of the otner colonies to make a move in the way of federation, and at last he has done so, and the movement is well under way. Sir H. Parkes has always held to free trade principles, and sup- ported by the Sydney importers, and squatters and graziers, has managed to retain his position of premier when adjoining colonies have been going strong for protection. At the last elec- tion in N. S. Wales, however, the pro- tectionists really won the day, and Sir Henry's opponents are not slow to as- sert that his recent conversion ti the federation idea, and his flowery speeches in favor thereof, are simply the tricks of a clever politician to take the atten• tion of the people away from the tariff question. Be this as it may, the Gov- ernments of the other Colonies were not disposed. to look too closely for mo- tives, when he announced his change of front, and delegates from all the Colo- nies assembled gladly at his bidding last February, to discuss the possibili- ties of forming an Australian Dominion. This conference was composed of lead- ers from both sides of the house in each Colony, and the opinions expressed were almost unanimous in favor of fed- eration, though all were not agreed re- garding matters of detail. Representative men are now being appointed by the various Governments, to attend a convention that is shortly to be held for the purpose of drawing up a Confederation Act, if an agreement can be reached regarding its provisions. Many delicate questions will come up for consideration at this convention, and, unless members show a spirit of broad minded statesmanship, and a willingness to make mutual concessions and sink local jealousies, the whole scheme may yet be wrecked. The choice of a federal capital is one subject that will likely be somewhat warmly discussed by the convention. Neither Melbourne or Sidney will be chosen, for the examples of Canada and the United States are likely to be followed in plac- ing the seat of government away from the great commercial centres. Hobart, Tasmania, has been mentioned, but it -is felt that,while it would be admirably adapted by reason of its fine climate and beautiful surroundings, for the purposes of a federal capital, yet, from a military point of view, some internal aitnation would answer the purpose better. Albury, on the Murray river, between Victoria and N. S. Wales, has also been named in this connection, and would probably answer as well as any place else, though the climate there is pretty hot at times, but as Austral- ians are used to heat,and heat here does not mean unhealthinem the warmness of the climate will scarcely be thought of as an objection. The tariff question is looked upon as the lion that blocks the road 1, federa- tion, for the 'vested interest' cry is cer- tain to be raised, if an attempt is made o throw down the customs barriers between the Colonies; but it is to be oped that the lion will be found to be I hate the prayer so loud and long, That's offered for the orphan's weal, By him who sees him crushed by wrong And only by his lips doth feel. 4 I do not like t) hear her pray, With jewelled ears and silken dress, Whose washerwoman toils all day, And then is asked to work for less. Such pious shavers I despise, With folded hands and face demure, They lift Wheat en their "angel e) e 3." And steal the earnings of the poor.

A SABBATH DAY. There is o sound upon the grassy plain. The calm of summer silence lies ser- ene, And sunlight falls along the winding main. Upon the bills and vales that intervene. In the golden rest the busy cornfield lie, Ungathered sheaves in fellow clusters stand, No cloud moves o'er the blue expanse of sky, Nor song of bird upon the stirless land. NEWS NOTES. At Walla Walla, Wash., two brothers named Kennedy tied John Clinton hands and feet with a rope and then hitched him to, an unruly horse's tail, all because the victim refused to play cards with them. The horse ran wildly for a quarter of a mile, when the rope slipped from its tail and Clin- ton escaped alive. A young man named Harper, in ths employ of John NAWilson, a farmer livinz in the outskirts of Ridgetown, was kicked in the groin by a horse on Thursday. His injury was not thought ser- ious at first, but the young man died at 11 on Friday, complica- tions having set in. Two weeks ago Col. Allison, the 1Government scout, who induced Sitting Bull to return from Can- ada and surrender after the Custer massacre, became converted at a camp meeting in Pierre, Dak., since which time he has been preaching among the Sioux, and the result is that hundreds of the Indians are becoming converted. Instead of being envious of the ad- vaacement of the Colonies, Englishmen will rather proudly say "We are such forest trees,and our fair boughs Have brought forth, not pale solitary doves, But eagles golden plumaged, who do soar Above us in their beauty and must reign In right thereof." PRESIDENTIAL PERQUISITES Tho office of the President of the United States is rather bare of perquisties. He has to pay out of his own pocket the wages of his cook and male servants, as well as the hire of his coachman and the price of the fodder for his horses. When be gives a state dinner, which is clearly an official and not a personal affair, he has to pay for it. He has his dwell- ing rent free. When he gives an entertainment the rooms wherein he receives his guests are decorat- ed for him in the highest style of the art with plants and flowers from the great city greenhouses, supplemented by what the White House conservatories are able to supply, all free of charge. Sup- posing that the entertainment is a dinner, all the equipments of the table, including the napery, silver, china, glassware; mirrors and other centerpieces, as well as the floral decorations, are provid- gratis. In fact, all such house- hold accoutrements, as well assup- piles of linen and furniture of all sorts requisite, are placed at the Presidenee disposal. When the things wear nut they are replac- ed by Congress by appropriation. Only a little while ago $5000 was paid for a new china set for the President, although the chief ma- gistrate of the United States has to pay bis own cook and chamber maids, a butler and housekeeper The grazing cattle in the pastures green Seeni silently to move with hushed tread, And on the sloping meadow land are seen Bees here and there among the clovers red.

A curious wager, with fatal results, was recently decided at Slowing, in Bavaria (says Vanity Fair). A notoriously strong man named Freytag, bet that a horse could not move him from the door of his house. The horse was brought,and Freytag put his hands and feet against the door -posts, while Stern, the man with whom the bet had been made, fixed a rope round Freytag's neck. At the first pull the rope broke. A new rope having been brought, Stern plied his whip with all his might, when Freytag gave a scream, and letting go, was dragged along for some yards. His neck was broken. FROM AUBURN TO DETROIT. After a pleasant drive of two hours we arrive at Godericla. The new post office of that place is a magnifi- cent building, but unfortunately is placed on a side street, instead of being an ornament to the square. We left Goderich on the lot last, by the City of Windsor, a trim little boat of limited and fairly good ac- commodation, and the officers were civil and obliging. We arrived at Sarnia, after a pleasant sail, about 7 p.m., remaining over night, and after some delay next morning left for De- troit by the Darius Cole, a passenger steamer of fine accommodation. The day being fine, the sail down the river was delightful, and elle scenery charming, particularly on the Ameri• can side, which was dotted here and there with summer resorts, and neat little cottages surrounded with beau- tiful lawns and shade trees. At length we sighted the upper end of Belle Isle, the city park of Detroit. It contains 700 acres, and'is connect- ed with the city by a bridge 2,000 ft. long and 40 ft. wide, with a draw span to pass vessels through, which cost $300,000. From the deck uf the steamer the nark presents a beautiful landscape picture, with its lawns, flower beds, and miniature lakes con - fleeted by artificial streams, spanned by rustic bridges and walks, sur- rounded by a magnificent driveway, the whole affording a convenient and delightful spot for fresh air and ex- ercise, and is easily reached by a line of ferries. Detroit contains upwards of 200,000 inhabitants, and has many fine avenues and places of attraction, a view from the City I all, with its network of street cars, presents a hive of industry, and, judging from the clean and tidy appearance of the streets, the cheerful faces and fine physiques of the citizens, particularly of the fair sex, it must be a healthy place to live in. A visit to the Ex- position was of interest, and a sail of twenty minutes brought us to the grounds, which presented a new ap- pearance. It is conveniently and well laid out. The palace occupies a central place, and is very large, con- taining the principal exhibits, which were fine and nicely arranged. The stock and Implements of all kinds were quartered in separate buildings, and were fine specimens.
