And the one who tells tbat that fear should not be there, is only mocking human tenderness and love, The cloud that hangs over the fn' ore will not altogether lift, no matter what we may do. But it is possible, at least to lighten its darkness a little. The fear may not altogether go, but even feu may be tempered with trust and hope. The God of the past and of the present will still be the God of the days that are to come. Life even then will not have got from under His hands. Is that not something to lay strong hold upon iu the hour that our fear comes upon use 11 the golden thread of Divine love and caro is sure to run through all the days, then no day can stand out as one to be utterly feared. If the consciousness of his abiding preemie° lightens our way, then surely no cloud of impending dis- aster or loss can utterly doe ken it.-- Guardiar t.

Tho ptoeperity of Ontario femora is a matter for Legitimate thanksgiving, but occasionally one finds the kind of man who is so tied up to the dollars and cents side of life that he has no consideration for many things a man cannot afford to forget, .4 farmer of .this type was on the O.P.R, train te- t ween Mt, Forest and Harriston ott? day last week and he was holding out to his seatmate on the great benefit derived by the farming fraternity from the war. IIe was of the opinion that if the war just kept up a year or two longer the farmer's would be right on their feet financially. Sitting two or three seats up the aisle was a quiet looking little old lady, She had been listening to the farmer's financial ideas as related to the war, and a close observer might have 'seen fire clashing in the otherwise kindly old eyes. She thought of her two sons doing their bit somewhere in France and compared their action and her own sacrifice with the sordidly selfish outlook of the talkative farmer. The more she thought of it the angrier she became, till all of a sudden she bounced into the aisle and proceeded to start something. 13reaking an umbrella over a man's head requires some exertion but aims made strong bq patriotic wrath make light of such tasks. The old lady not ouly completely wrecked her uwbeelht uu the object of her wrath but punct uatedher blows with pointed remarks which surely must have stung even through the cast iron selfishness of her victim. She told him she would listen to no man talk as be had done, and her with two sons facing death in the trenches to keep him in safety. Another Bottled Note A bottle with a note inclosed was picked up on the shore of Lake Huron this week by James L. Blue, while walking near Amberley. It purported to be written by Win. Burne, steamer Hydrus, one of the boats, lost in the ctorm of November 0, 1013, and read: "Eve;yoro has given up,and 1 think we are about done, the only thing I wish now is that I could say good-bye to my dear mother, (Signed) "William Burns" And a postscript was added: " "Please wri:o my mother, and thy only wish is that I could see her. Her address is; Mrs. Mary Burns, North lelizebeth street, Marine City, Mich," This letter has been forwarded to Mrs. Burns by Mr. Blue. HIGHLANDS QF ONTARIO CANADA. rho Home of the Rod.

IN MARITI/Ate PROVINCE IN the summer season the Province of New Brunswick is a happy land, where the sunny hours ;speed away on the feet of delightful dreams, -In the fall she is lovely in her rich dress of brown; and in the •.withter, 'when she is arrayed in her robe of virgin whiteness, she is fair and charming; and if- she is then fold, her admirers do not feel that .her chillness Is a chillness of heart. This favorite Canailian haunt is preeminently a land of the holiday- maker and sportsman. St. Andrews, where is situated the popular Cana- dian Pacific .A.Igonquiu Hotel, and {many other seaside places are loved haunts of the bather and outdoor game player during the holiday sea- son of June, July, August and Sep- • tenvber. I'To sooner have the sum- mer holiday folks and fishermen left the province than the hunters of the Brig game take their piaeeae, for at the opening of the big game email large numbers of bunters of both sexes appear with their guns amidst 'the thick forests of the land. New ;Brunswick is one of the most popular ; of the Canadian provinces for big game hunting. hoose, caribou and deer are plentiful in this region. A inagnifieent specimen of big gatrte is the moose. When fully 'grown he weighs over 1,000 lbs. Ilis s massive antlers aro long and goner- ; ally leverage six feet in se idth. IIe 'may bo found in twelve of the fifteen counties of the province.

It is a delightful sight to watch hits stride at a wanting rate, or trot, or gallop over tbo country. .A. full grown caribou stands from four and a half teeilve feet in height, Of this animal there are two varieties, the woodland and the barren ground ;species. The woodland is somewhat taller than the other and its color is darker about the body, but the horns are lighter. It is generally found in herds of about half a dozen. The barren ground caribou travels in largo herds, and its coat is light. This kind is noted for its tnigrator'y habits. In New Ilrunewi'k the places where the hunter's are likely to achieve the best results are North Weet tliramichi, Itestlgouche, TTpsal- quiteh, Nepisiguit, and Tobique • revere.

The season for the hunting of the moose, caribou, and deer opens on September llith and continues to No- venhber Meth. Shooting on Sunday is prohibited by law, Non-resident linnters must be accompanied by a licensed guide.

HAVE A HEART hGuelph Mercury) There are many phrases that have come into use lately, and some of them have a great deal of meaning that e hard to express in any other way, Among these Iatter-day phrases there is one, "Slave a heart," that can°well be applied to a situation that every newspaper pnbtished in the Dominion is facing, and has been facing for months past, The demand for free notioes in con- nection with almost every move in the carrying on of the war, and the raising of battalions and of funds, has come to a point now where it is not fair to expect the papers to accede to all requests. It is doubtful if there is any class of trade that has donated so openly of its stock -in -trade ae the news• papers. The only thing they have to sell is the white space in their paper, and almost every day there is a cert amount of this given to patriotic and Red Cross purposes absolutely free, ,In the aggregate this amounts to a very great deal. A newspaper, although having a quasi -public nature,.ie, in so far as its financing is concerned, a private °con• cern, and as such is feeling the exces- sive cost of material, the increasing wages and other burdens that fall' on the financial end of the business. I1 might be well for the public to keep thie in mind, that a newspaper has to pay its way like any other con- cern, and that there is a limit to what it can give away. And besides that there is no reason why advance not- ices of anything, no matter whe her the object is to raise money or to have a good time, should not be paid for, and reckoned as a legimate expense.
