IIo hasn't a wife to make hie heart glad, Ho doesn't kuoiv how he be blessed if ha had, Nor oan He conceive what it la ho has lost, IIs thinks he has only escaped being "bossed"— Poor man! Oh, tho bacholor'e heart is sorry and sore, Indeed! IIo knows he eau never know joy any more, And ho looks upon life as a terrible bore, Agreed With tho croaker that life doesn't pay, And to all thoughtless lovers impatient to say -- "Take heed 1" Yes, the baoholor's lot is a desolate one, And yet There aro girls who think it would really be fun To share it with him, after all's said and done; Forget All hi. miseries many, and pleasures so few, I know lots of girls who would do it, don't yon? You bet 1 OLD MOTHER, HUBBARD. ItitvIean vanel0N. Poor Mother Hubbard Went to the cupboard To get her pale ohildren some bread, And when she gob there The cupboard was bare, So how could the ohildren be fed? Oh, why was the cupboard Of poor Mother Hubbard Of food for her ohildren so bare? It wil not be treason, So here is the reason No food tho poor mother found there. The money the father Was able to gather, Was not vary much at the most, But much of it sank In the beer that he drank, Or else hi the gin.ehcp was lost. 0, poor Father Hubbard, Go look at the cupboard, And look at your children and wife ; Ts it right that they should 13e bereft of their food? Is it right that you lead such a life 7 Bo wise, sir, and ponder, Ere further you wander, And lower and lower you sink ; The cause, Mister Hubbard, So bare is your cupboard, is :cunt in yonr love for the drink. Yon cannot but see it, Determined to floe it, And give us your heart and your hand, Tl. gin -.hop forsaking,. The pledge boldly taking, And joining our Temperance band. Thou poor Mother Hubbard Will find in the cupboard, Por inset dear ohildren some bread, And you and your wife Will have happier life, And know what it to be fed. But rest not in token Of ono fetter broken, Thy life to thy Saviour be given, Aril then shall be thine, By the biessing Divine, A place in the kingdom of Heaven. Local Legislature.

Ii. reply to Mr. Meredith, Attar, noy General Mowat said a record half Iseult kept or ill • proceedings of the f iterprovinuia( 0ouforeuoe, and that a copy of ie hied boon sells to each member of the house. In re- ply to Mr. French, he said it was not the intenbion-of the Government during tine seesion to introduce any logislati,ni affecting the juriediotion of the Division or County Omuta. Mr. Blyth, in moving for n rota ru of ooptoe of Ordere-iu•Couuoil with respect to investment of the sinking funds of municipalities, spoke of the difficulties of municipalities making safe deposits of sinking funds, in- stancing the fact that two munidi• palitiee of South Grey had lost $38, 000 by the failure of the Dare ham branch of the Central Bank, and he seemed to think the Gov- ailment overnment should devise somo °chemo for the safe investment of these funds, Hon. A. M. Ross thought that with ordinary prudence the munici- palities had ample means for safe investments. They could deposit in the chartered banks and in first mortgages on farm property. The last named plan is largely taken a& vantage of, He thought the muni- cipalities would do better to issue annuities or pay all debentures in equal annual instalments. IIo Wats not in favor of creating a Gov- ernment savings bank for the muni- cipalities. Mr. French'a bill respecting short forms of mortgagee, which does away with the noeessity for a mort' gageu giving six menthe' notiee or peying six monthe' lettuces iu order to discharge an overdue mortgage, was road a niloond lune, after ro- marka by Air.

Mr. Stewart's bill relating to in- quests on prisoners who died in jail, and that of Mr. Wood, of Brant, to have municipal financial statements issued before nominations in each year, after being approved by Mr. Wood, of Hastings, Treasurer Rose and Mr, Phelps, were also referred to committee Mr. Phelps' bill to increase the saleries of police magistrates under the Scott Act to $700 or $800, ac- cording to population of counties, was withdrawn, after short speeches against it by Mr. Meredith, Mr. Mowat and Hon. A, 11. Ross. The feeling was that es the counties were deriving an income from the act they sltoald be responsible for the salaries paid. Mr. Smith's bill to amend the Assessment Act, and Col. Olarke'e, to amend the Municipal Act by matting all municipal representa- tives, exoopt councillore, magis- trates, was aleo read a second time, and the House adjourned.

Mr. Meredith and Mr. Freaoli objected to this bill, as putting too much power into the haode of police magistrates Iu Committee of Supply Mr. Meredith objected that the new Government had concealed the fact of an error in the public accounts, and that the Treasurer had Bard the suspected officer was now in the employ of the Dominion Govern- ment, Hon. A. M. Rose explained that he had only been able to get positive knowledge of the misappropriation un the 8th of the month, and gave the fan's to the house et the earliest moment, and that in mentioning that the suspected person was now in the employ of the• Dominion Government he did not intend a re- flection ou the Government. Then there was fun. Mr. Mere dith, in au unguarded moment, asked if the Government used their detectives to detect political corrup• tion, and hinted that the revelations of the election courts showed that they would fled plenty of room for work withiu the Reform party. Mr. Fraser retorted in a biting speech, reminding the Opposition loader that not a Reform leader had beau found guilty of corruption ; that lir. Meredith had promised to "lieu Weeks through" ; that Mr. Meredith had promised to impeach Mr. Pardee and had to pay the costs, and that the Tory leader at Ottawa had corrupted the country from end to end. Then Mr. Meredith charged that Mr, Mowat In his speech at London had advised fighting the devil with fire. This Mr. Mowat denied, and he was sustained in his denial by Mr. Waters, who was at the meeting in question. Mr. Awroy reminded the House of Sir John Macdonald's speech at Quebec the other day, in which ho said he bribed the constituencies with their own money, and he also mentioned that Tupper and McLean had 'pleaded corrupt practices, and rectified the fact thas Farquier was diegqjpjaalifidd. M. Creighton complained of the appo ;ntment of bribere to offices and ': the Government, Han,. A. S. Hardy noted that both Beforjr. supporters disqualified wore Tory g aduntee, and argued that all the lttoiey spent by Reform candi- 1 THE':, BRUSSELS POST dates improperly would not snake $100.

The chief die eneelou was brought on by Mr. Gibeun, of Huron, by a protest against the amount voted to high schools compared with the amount voted to the common Benno fate was mildly eupporeed by Mr. Clancy and opposed by Hon G. W. Roes, Mr. Grey, lir, Balfour and Mr, Waters. The defeuce wad that the high schools enabled poorer pupils to got an advanced education, and that. the efiioiency of the public schools depend target/ on the kind of teachers turned out by the high and Normal seho.ls, Among the bills jutrodueed in the Ammotnbly on Friday were one by Mr, Carsou to amend the Muni- cipal Act. By Mr. Clancy—To amend the Registry Act. By Mr. Bishop—To amend the net, respecting iusuraneo oomp$n• 188. By Mr. Hardy—Respecting in- dubtrial furies and houses of refuge. In reply to Mr. Clancy, Attorney• General itIowat aid no official re- ply had been received from Mr. Purnell or Mr. Gladetone to the Hoene Rule resolution passed by the Assembly last session, but that the reeolutiona had been used to acoomplieh their object, and that he had ,private information that they were appreciated and that there would be an official acknow- ledgment. A debate arose am a motion by Mr. Clancy censuring the Govern mens for delay in briugiug clown re- turns. Mr. Fraser moved au amendment stating the praotroe of Parliament to be that ruturne which, owing to the amount of work requited in their preparation, cannot be brought down in the Heesion iu w111011 they have ordered should be reordered at the next session. Mr. Meredith and Mr. Wood (Haetiugs) objected to the amend meat as not In line with the prat tine of the Rouge, and ineisted on a vote. The amendment was carried by 41 to 24 on a straight party division many of the Liberals were absent, while the Opposition benches were pretty full. Mr. Tooley got au order for a copy of the evidence taken before A, E. Irving, Q.C., with reference to the Ontario 'Grain and Seed Company, after remarks by the movers, Mr. Ingram, Mr. Hardy and Mr. Meredith. In reply to Mr. Meredith, Ur. lelowet intimated that the Govern meat would oppose his motion for a committee in relation to timber lim its and the development of mines. A number of bill,were then ad- vanced a stage, and the fiouee,ad- jonrned at about 5 o'clock.

Friday sight a copper train of thirty oars on the Duluth & South Shore railroad got out of control of the men at the Prioee mine, five milee above Marquette City, Mich., and Dame thundering down the heavy grade at the rate of over a mile a minute. The sbrieke of the locomotive whistle caused thousands to turn out of doors. Four minu- Iles later the engineer blew the first signal that the main tzack must be left open for hint to make the run through the city or go into Lake Superior. The train came down through the yard. The big mogul engine kept up its shrieks and the rush of the oars shook the earth while the tram eeented as a sheet of flame ith the fire caused by the friction of the brakes. Nine cars of heavy timber were in the train, and at the third crossing the timb- eas began to fiy. They shot through. the air like lightning. Buildings were demolished and cars thrown from the track in every direction. Three cars held to the engine and dragged a fourth with the timbers caught under the wheels. The eu- gine stopped two hundred feet from the sharp curve. Had it reached that point 11 would surely have been thrown into the lake. For three blooks timbers and car trucks and cure were soattersd. Two streets were blockaded. The en• giueer and ffremau stuck to their posts. The conductor and brake- men eat loose the caboose and ea• oitped. General i"aew,i.
