AN OLD METHODIST'S TESTI.
MONY,
Praise the Lord my Obrfsbien friends,
That I am with yon still,
Though standing like stn old log haueu
Upon a west side hill,
The mesio has gong out you know,
The timbers have demised,
But sunshine on 'ens just as warm
As when the Bret wap laid.
Almost a hundred year's have passed
Sinop I was born, and then
'Twas only fifteen further on
And I was born again.
I've aeon the forest molt away,
Nino izousee have been reared,
The world bas quite onteeripped the
I'm very muolt afearod. ichnrch,
They used to tell a'Methodist
As far as eye could satin,
No gew-naive on a woman then
No dickey on a man.
Bat now our congregations are
So much by fashion led,
They look just like a rainbow
Wrecked upon a posey bed.
The circuit riders of them days
Were not so fine and grand,
They took degrees ethaulin' logs
And elearinup the land ;
But when ono of 'en used to preach
I tell you wo could smell
The fragrant flowers of heaven
And the stifling smoke of hell.
We had an "amen corner" too
Beside the pulpit stairs,
And while ho raised his sermon bunts
Wo lifted with our prnyers.
We threw in many loud "Thank God 1"
And weren't ebliged to go
To give the Lord the glory
In a plass room down below.
Tho old grand quart'ly meetings wee
To all the brethren dear,
Jost like four ;;repo oasis in
The desert. of the year.
The people flocked for miles around,
My wife would take a snore,
And after supper they would prey
And sleep neon the floor,
I know the world's a movie' on,
Aa Galileo said :
For now Trent a cushioned pew
To hear an essay road,
But when through stainecl•glaes windows
The sun throws blue and gold,
I cannot help a thinkin' how
The glory shone of old.
They call me an "old fossil"
And a "relic of the past,"
A "fogy" and a "croaker" too,
But this wont always last,
I tread n trembling isthmus where
Two sous of glory roll,
And Boon the past and fnturo bliss
Will swallow up my soul.
And when I reach fair Canaan,
The Lord will doubtlese see
That mansions in the city will
Not do for such as we.
So He will lob me go among
01d -fashioned saints, I think,
And praise hire 'noetb the tree of life,
Upon the river's brink.
dl' d 01'3tfi 3; 3'O3f 18A0' DEAAt.
I wouldn't turn my head to look after
fine frocks, or impertinent teen.
I wouldn't forget to sow the braid
around the bottom of my skirt, or the
button on my shoe.
1 Wou:dn't conclude that every man
who said somothing pleasant to me, had
fallen i u lovo with ate,
I wouldu't feel that I was an ill.treated
personage bocauee, though 1 oculd play
pleasantly, ley friends didn't trotter me a
modern Mozart.
I would not when I could only have
one (rook, ohooso a conspionoas one that
would marls mo as the girl in the red
plaid,
I would net, because I was tired and
nervous give snappy,111tatured replies
to questions asked me by those who
really cared for me.
I would not get in the habit of epeaking
itl a familiar way of the men I know ;
when you make then Tom. Diok or
]carry they are rapt to consider you as
Kate, Nell or Molly.
I would not permit any girl friend to
oontplaih to me of her mother—it in like
listening to blasphemy.
I would not when I brush the dust off
my hat forget the oobwebs of distrust and
suspicion in my brain,
I would not tell my private affairs to
my most iutimate girt friend, nor would
I ask her impertinent questions.
I would not write silly letters to young
men, or permit them to be familiar with
ane.
I would not grow weary in well doing'—
instead, I would keep on encouraging
thyself by trying to live up to my ideal of
a woman, and the very fact of my trying
50 hard would make me achieve that
which I wished.
L'OlLI'i'1GAL POSSIBILITIES.
(Prom the Gunton New Era.) •
At most the present Local Legislature
will nob have more than two sessions, be-
fore an appeal must be made to the
people, and a good many are of the opin.
ion that perhaps only one will be held.
In anticipation thereof politioians are
"bo,kitt over the field," and oonsider.
able epeenlabion is being indulged in as
to the possibilities or probabilities. In
the South ].tiding of Hot'on there seems
to be a pretty general impression that
Mn, Bishop. who has ea long and so faith-
fully represented the Liberals, will nob
seek re election, We aro not speaking
"by ambborily," but we have conversed
with numbers of the Liberals of this
riding, end many of them tree under the
hinges -Moe from what Me, Bishop stated
at 4118 last nomination and from hints
that he has dropped eitloe—thab ito will
not he a candidate. Mr, Bishop has boon
tree to hie party at all tithes, and should
The retire, ho will carry with him Oho
good will and hearty esteem of all,
Should he, on Oho other hand, still bo a
ootidlaate, thele is no question but that
he wottld bo the tepresentabivo of South
Berea again, In the event of hie pos.
Bible retirement to number of canoe are
mentioned as likely su000ssors to him,
Among them ere De. Buchanan, oh Zee -

smith1 1t. II. Contra, of Exeter ; Thee,
Mimi', of Stanley, and al, Y. McLean,
of Seaiorth, Alt of these are good men
and would make wortluy euaeeseors to
MIr, Bishop, but we are inclined to think
that tine one among the lob most likely to
get the nomination is 1kt. Y, Moldan, of
the Pxpositor. Wo ch not dispargo the
merits of the othere, by any means, bub
we think the people of South Intron will
endorse the statement that no man be
more entitled to rho nomination than the
011e we have named, and no one would

Every word that we have said concern.
lug Iir. Bishop applies fully to Mr. Gib-
son. Huron has beau honored by having
two ouch good men as its representatives
for such a continuous length of time,
Mr. Gibson being one of the few met,
outside of the miniotera, who have been
in the Mouse continuously for about 20
years. Should lie retro at the end of his
preoeut term, among the likely aepirants
for the seat ere W. II. Rork, of Tux

persons among whom It le difiloult to
make a choice because all have earned
political performent. We would like to
sue rho choice fall noon our esteemed
friend Keer, of Tito Pose, beoanee there

In the, West Riding there is not likely

In the South Riding, Mr. Weisrniller,
