—Every rose has its thorn, so it is
said, and now that women, of Cali-

required to give, their age. "Isn't

The Opposition complain about
the shortage of teachers and the
abolition of the Model schools. They
either do not know, or do not wish to
meet the fact, that there are today
1.000 more teachers than when the
Model schools were in existence.

—Promiees to be fulfilled by the
Opposition when it attains power
some years in the future, can scarcely
be considered on the same level with
past achievements, and reforms al-
ready begun by a Government that
has ehnwn strict integrity, and fulfil-
ment of promises.

—After being in power for twenty
years in Prince Edward Island, the
Liberals have been defeated. Looks
as if all Canada had faith in Con-
eervative principles and Government,
The first thing we know, all the other
provinces will be "crying 'for it;. and
won't be satisfied till they get it.
* 0*
—One point that must be remember-
ed is thin, and it is the crux of the
whole question. If an Administra-
tion is doing its duty, giving the peo-
ple an honest, progressive and up.to-
date Government, it is contrary to
common sense and the interests of
good Government. to turn round and
vote for the Opposition. Rather,
should we not reward a good Govern-
ment by a renewal of aur confidence,
and leave the Opposition to work out
its own .salvation through the course
of time.

—During the last five years, com-

—Ontario has now well entered on
the political campaign. It finds an
honest, straight -forward, progressive
Government in charge of its affairs,
That Government asks for a renewal
of the electors' confidence, that it may
continue the gond work begun and
complete the reforms already com-
menced. A united Conservative party
stands behind the Government, whose
record bas been •so good and clean,
that the Opposition platform has been
drawn up as near like that of the
Government as possible,
* w *
The Toronto Star (Liberal) in speak-
ing of the Whitney Government,
says :—
"It has been an honest Govern-
ment, of average ability."
Yes—hotiaaty in government is an all
too rare quality, yet Sir James Whit-
ney has fur seven years conducted the
Government of Ontario without a
breath of scandal or the misappropri-
ationa h d h m r ri-
ation of a dollar 1 But, added to this,
the Whitney Government has a re-
cord of progress in agriculture, in edu-
cation, in the control and administra-
tion of water powers and mining and
pulpwood lands for the benefit of the
people, that has not been equalled in
this or any other province.

Big Potatoes.
John Bayley of the 2nd concession
of Hullett has had remarkable success
in potato growing this year. On a
piece of land where the wheat was
killed last year he planted the tubers
and from one-third of an acre he re-
cently gathered one hundred and
fifty bushels. But the size of the
potatoes was more remarkable than
the quantity. Oue of them measured
18x22 'inches, and weighed 31 pounds.
Another measured 10x22 inches, and a
third 16x13}, each of the latter 'tipping
the scales at 3 pounds.

Man la A Well.
The Lucknow Sentinel gives the
following:—An old man named Wake-
field, who lives near Benmiller, adopt-
ed a peculiar method of reconciliation
toward his sister. He had disposed of
his farm and he and .his sister had
some dispute over the settlement of
affairs. He tied a rope around his
body and lowered himself into the
wall, with the water up to his chin,
thinking his sister would come and
rescue him. She did not come for
nearly an hour, at the end of which
time she found him nearly dead. She
alarmed the neighbors, who rushed to
his assistance and pulled him out.
Several doctors worked all night to
revive him. He will recover.
Jolly Sleigh•Ride.
Sleigh bells ringing and people sing-
ing, marked a happy social event on
Thursday evening of last week, when
the male employees of Pringle's glove
works, hired two carry -ails and took
all the girls of the establishment, 'also
Mr. and Mrs. Pringle, for a merry
spin to the tune of the sleigh bells.
After two hours•spent in this delight-
ful enjoyment, they returned to the
home of Mrs. Harry Angtte, and there
partook of a lunch, daintily prePared
by the hostess, Mrs. It. Angus. After
spending a very pleasant evening, the
employees of Pringle'e very busy hive
parted, feeling that it is a good thing
for brethren and sisters to dwell to-
gether in unity, and to form individu-
al links in the great chain of pure
friendship.

Peat la Huron.
The Advance believes that large
beds of peat will yet be found in
Huron county and prove valuable.
The Clinton News -Record reports the
discovery of a peat bed on the farm of
J. K. Wise, on the Huron Road.
Winking over his fieIda one day with
a visitor, the latter remarked—"You
have a fine peat bed here, Mr. Wise."
The letter was much surprised, as be
was unaware of anything of the kind.
But ashovel was procured, and after
digging to a depth of eight feet the
bottom of the bed was not reached.
Mr, Wise has since had a quantity of
the earthly material taken out and
kiln dried and finds that it makes
excellent fuel. He is now indepen-
dent of all other sources of fuel

Death of Mr- Wylie.
By the death of Mr. James Wylie,
Turnberry has lost one of its early
settlers, who for about fifty-four years
had been an esteemed resident of the
township. Deceased was born in
Dumfries, Scotland, nearly eighty
years ago. 'When about twenty years
of age, he came with his parents to
Canada, a and settled in tho
township
of Clarke. About 1855 or 1956, the
family removed to Turnberry, and in
1804, the deceased was married to Miss
Kato McE seen of Stanley township.
Three children were born to them—
one son, John of Turnberry, and two
daughters, Mrs, John Mcinrney of
Turnberry, and Mrs. John Fitch (de-
ceased). Mrs. Wylie died after eight
years of married life, and two years
later, Mr. Wylie chose Miss Rebecca
Greer as hie helpmate. Two children
were the fruit of this union, one of
Whom, Jas. T. Wylie, now resides on
the homestead. On Tueeday, before
his death, Mr. Wylie, after morning
fatuity worship, complained of a chill;
later, pneumonia set in, and on Satur-

day old will fall to the bottom of the
glass ; if Hider, it does not, reach the
bottom ; if three days old, it sinks
only just below the etufaee, and the
older the egg the more it protrudes

An Evening Prayer.
We beseech Thee, Lord, to behold
uswith favor, Be patient still ; suf-
fer us awhile longer to endure, and
(if it may be) help us to do better.
Bless to us our extraordinary mercies.
Be with our friends—be with our-
selves. Go with each of us to rest. If
any awake, temper to them the dark
hours of watching, and, when the day
returns to ue, call us up with morning
faces and with morning hearts—eager
to labor—eager to be happy, if happi-
ness shall be our portion—and if the
day be marked for sorrow—strong to
endure it. Robert Louis Stevenson.
