The extent to which the ordinary services of the church are under- stood by the poor i, not easy to determine without special, enquiry, st,s a clergyman writing in the '.Cornlnill Magazine,' and yet some - the clergy come upon alarming proofN that things are not quite so clear as they suppose thein to he. It is not so long since a Yorkehiro incumbent, dwelling in a valley where the people are sueposed to be particularly long headed, told - lite of a :mournful ezpe! force wlituh befel'him when visiting a sick parishioner. The Yorkshireman was ill, very ill, but doggedly op- post',1 t,, epiiuding a penny upon a d ictor. He had found,plr ;'bought, a inure excellent way, anti was .accordingly conducting, with very alarming result, some experiments upon his constitution. Exc ;ive devotion to a cheap but far from -innocuous quack urr'di„ine was fast lu'inging mini to a state in which medical aid and the infallible pill would he alike superfluous. `MIy ,lt nr 11r�.--- - --' paid the vicar to his nb•,s.in.tte perhtoner's wife, 'your hi,•,I:•r:.;l a Uy It''i ng himself with those pill:;. µIt's a case of Nuicide—a dow!Il'tallt 'Yes, sir,' replied the tearful partner, 'I know it, '•td many's tine time I've prayed apinst iLi'il the .church service.' 'In the church service,' said the vicar, a little doubtfully ;'you mean when we pray for the sick ?' 'Oh, no, sir,' was the reply ; I mean where we always say in the litany—isn't it ?—'From all false doctoring, good Lord deliver us.' Ilere, surely, is a fact that, in determining the degree in which the the church services are understood by the poor, must he worth a bushel of theory. Mistakes of this kind are no perpetrated in Yorkshire alone� The London poor have erred, ane!'; do still. err, with equally strange re• sults. During a bnjourn of some three years in east London C bad, for example, excellent opportunities of observing the way in which the marriage service is understood by the unlearned. Take tho case of Timothy Duggan. Timothy Dug gau was a stevedore, perhaps six feet two inches 'rti height, and pro- portionately broad. He appeared as a bridegroom ; the bride was a charming young person of tender years. All went well until the ino- ment came for Timothy and his bride to give their troth to erich other in the prescribed manner. 'Say after me,' said I to Timothy, 'I Timothy—' There was no response. 'Say after me,' repeated the par son, 'I Timothy—' Timothy was Still silent, a puzzl- ed look creeping over his board face. 'Say after me,' said I for the third time, with, perhaps, n shade of a annoyance. 'After you, sir,' responded Timo- thy, with the politest possible duck of his bullet head, But this indifference of the rubrics is so great thst., upon the injunction, 'Place the ring ou the third finger, I have more than once seen the hr= legroom clap it upon the third finger of his own hand with all the complacency in the world. Once I detected a bridegroom endeavoring to force the ring on to the bride a thumb; but there was just a suspics ion that he had been making merry before coming to church that morn- ing. But the marriage service, from first to Iasi, is full of pitfalls for the unlearned man. In same cases it become: painfully clear that the contracting parties recognize but fewbidden of the words the are 1 Iden to y say, and merely imitate the sound 'with suolt accuracy as their im- perfect knowledge will permit. The words, 'to have and to hol-l' ought to be simple enough,but, as a natter of fact, they are subjects of some astounding blunders. I re- member one bridegroom who had brought a very charming young bride to church, and perhaps regard. ed her as a thing of heauty to be in Itis hotne a joy forever, rendering 'to have and to hold' as 'to have and behold.' Another, who possibly had some cause to dread the fate of Mr. Caudle, struck out an entirely new version, and faithfully promised 'to have and be told.' 'To love and to cheaish' is another frightful stumbl- ing block. 'To love and be cherries' was the nearest to the original of many variations. The brides were happy with thefamiliar rendering'to love cherries and to bathe.' 'God's holy ordinance' tripped up many. 'Holy orders' was convenient, and perhaps conveyed the most meaning. 'Plight thee my troth' and 'give thee my troth' were I imagine, words of foreign sound, and I well remember ono' young person, who was wedding a -most villainous look• trig fellow, changing her atatement into 'thereto I give thee my throat;' There was, perhaps, an unconscious prophecy wrapped up in that prom- ise rom.ise QUEBEC AND ONTARIO. The following figures applied to both provinces may re -assure those who fear that the French will become the dominant race in the Dominion. For the sake of con- venience we shall in the following table apply their present names to the provinces of Ontario and Que- bec. In 1851 the people of French origin and all others in the two provinces were as follow :— French. All others. Ontario 26,417 925,587 Quebec.,. '....,,669,528 220,733 695,946 1,146, 320 The French population is 37.77 per cant of the whole, or just a trifle more than three-eighths.

The increase in the French popula- tion iu thirty -years had been 69 per cent : the increase of the non F.encfi population had been !83 per cen,. l u 1851 the Roman (Catholics and persons classed with all! other denominations were as follows :— Romeo Catholics. All others. Ontario.... .. , . 1(i8,6t1 754,309 746,866 143,305 914.561 937,704 The Roman Catholics, it will be seen, were almost one-half of the whole. The. Protestant superiority now becomes marked. To 1881 the situation was as follows :— Roman Catholics. All others, Ontario 320,839 1,602,389 Quebec 1,170,557 188,309 rr- 794,693 1 491 u r 1 J The increase of the Roman Catho- lic population in thirty years was 576,996 ; that of the Protestant population was 862,994. The Roman Catholic population increas'. ed by 63 per cent; the Protestant population increased by 93 per cent. It will be seen that those who think there is danger of French supremacy or of Roman Catholic Catholic supremacy may dismiss their fears. At the same time It may be pointed out that in thirty years the increase of Protestants in Quebec was only 44,914, or 30 per cent, while the increase of Roman Catho' lies in Ontario was 152,144, or more than 91 per cent. The French Ontario increased to fourfold their numbers in 1871, while the non French in Quebec increased by only 64,474, or less than 30 ,tier cent. In Nova Scotia and New Bruns• Wick, between 1871 and 1881, the Roman Catholic population increas- ed by 141 per cent; the Protestant population by almost 17 per cent• CURRENT TOPICS. • SAD, VERY SAD, Ilamilton Spectator :—Wo are saddened, by a statement made by the Guelph Mercury that Sir John Macdonald has one foot in the grave; but so long as he 6 able to kick vigorously with the other foot we shall not be In despair. AN ASTONISHING FACT. Toronto Week : if many Roman Catholics are actually rated as Se- parate Sehool supporters without their knowledge and consent it 6 an astonishing fact, and one that goes far to justify much of the indigna- tion which has been aroused against the Local Governtnent in the matter, Surely the Government or the Mins ister of Education is bound either to disprove the allegation thus directly and officially trade, or to promise prompt amendment of the law which !elide to such a result. Justification of it is, we conceive, out of the question. A PERTINENT QUESTION. Cleveland Leader During the past thirty-five years twelve states have adopted prohibition and abandoned it after trials more or less prolonged. These states are New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Ohio, Maryland, New Hampshire, Delaware, Rhode Is- land, Michigan, Indiana, and Ne- braska. Among the states that in recent years have rejected prohibi- tion amendments are Ohio, Michi- gan, Texas, Tennessee, West Vir- ginia, Rhode Island, Oregon, Mas- achusetts, and Penney lvalue. Here are seventeen different states that have rejected prohibition before or after trial, and it is in 'force, nowin• ally, in only four—Maine, Vermont, Iowa, and Kansas—and nianifeetly growing weaker in popular•estima- tion every day. What possible hope, then, can there be of the adoption of a national prohibition amendment, which would require the affirmative votes of thirty,two states, after: the four new states are admitted 1 :After thirty,tive years of trial, prohibition is the law in only oue.eighth of the number of states necessary to the purpose the third party Prohibitionists claim to have in view, and prohibition in these four states is daily weakening. Is tt not about ti•uie that the Pro- bibitionists conceded the honesty of the widespread opinion that prohibis tion is an ineffective temperance measure, and turned in to help the cause of temperance on lines in which the great majority have cot• fidence 1 HOW IIE GOT HIS WiEE. 1t 6 not often in this generation of self-reliant and independent young men, that the son will allow the father either to choose or pay much attention to his choice of a young lady for matrimonial purposes. But Mr..i dy S. T[aviland,.of Boston, O'ni., had faith in his father's excels lent judgment, and will now 'pin that faith tighter than ey,or upon' this pater, for he has recently mar- ried the. girl of his father's choice and thinks he could not have done so well for himself. • It appears that some time since, Willis IIaviland(the father), who is a member of the re- ligious sect called Plymouth Breth- ren, wr on Manitoulin Island preachit.,', nod while et ;tranitowan- ing met a hiss Maggie !allot t, young, amiable and good-looking. Ile fancied her for a daughter- in-law and in a short time bad his son in correspondence with her. Acquaintance ripened into some sorb of a tender affection, and an engagement and wedding follow- ed. The , oung man, who is but 22 years of age, had never seen his be- throthed, but he went for her about thefirst of th:s month, married her, and brought her to his home in Bos• ton about a week ago. The reception was pleasant to all concerned and the newly married couple had several incidents of their trip to relate that •were amusing. The difficulty in procuring a marri- age certificate was their first trouble, but that was overshadowed by the exchange of Mrs. Ilaviland's trunk, containing, besides clothing, the certificate duly signed, sealed and delivered. She has a trunk full of gentleman's apparel that she would like to exchange for her own. A CURIOIUS WEDDING. Gustavus Babson, of Seward, Nob., and Miss Glen Talbot were married Friday evening at the residence of the brides's parents, Mr. and Mrs. ,1. W. Talbot, at Syracuse, N.A., without the aid of a clergyman or officer of the law authorized to perform such cere- monies, Tho bride and groom oc- cupied a room adjoining and con- nected by folding doors with the one in which the guests wore as- seinbled. At about nine o'clock the doors were thrown open and the bride and groom with clasped hands advanced towards the assembl- ed guests. After 'a moment of solemn silence the groom impress- ively addressed the bride as follows: I, Gustavus Babson, yielding to the prompting of love, in accord- ance with the instincts of nature, and in compliance with the customs of society and the laws of the State of Nebraska, take you, Glen Talbot, to be my lawfully wedded wife ; promising before these assembled witnesses to love, care for and pro- tect you in sickness as well as in - health, in adversity as well as pros- perity ; never to claim from you as a legal right anything that your 1?e Ir?eer Oeea9 Is Published Every Day of the Year, and is the LEADING REPUBLICAN PAPEOF THE NORTHWEST.

We mention these little things because we avant the news, and we will have it. —About half -past S"Friday night a farmer was ivalkin,g'along the Waterloo road about four miles and. a half from Guelph city, when his' attention was attracted to the pe- culiar proceedings of the driver of a horse and buggy. Three times the animal was run up against the fence, and this time the farmer crept up behind the buggy and when he had hoard enough to satisfy him that the young woman in company with the driver was endeavoring to resist his advances, he sprang forward, seized the whip and chastised him until he had to call for mercy. The farmer knew the horse was from a Guelph stable and identified it next morning, but of course he received from this course no information re garding who the young man was who hired it. It is hopod that the girl, who appeared to be 15 or 16 years of age, has received a lesson for the future to choose her com- pany before she places her name and reputation at stake again.

Any neglect to do so makes the postmaster responsible to the publishers for payrnr.nt. 2—If any person orders his paper dis- :ontinued, he must pay all arrearages, of the publisher may continuo to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it be taken from the office or not. There can be nd legal discontinuance until the payment is made. 3—Any person wito takes a paper from the post -office, whether airectetl to hit name or another, or whether he has sub• scribed or not, is responsible for the pay. 4—If a subscriber orders his paper to bt stopped at a certain time, and the publish. er continues to send, it the subscriber bound to pay for it if he takes it out of the post -office, This proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay for what he user P gig'In the Division Court in Goderich' at the November sitting a newspaper put • hailer sued for pay of paper. The defend • ant objected paying on the ground that lie had ordered a former proprietor of the paper to discontinua it. The Judge held that that was not a valid defence. The plaintiff, the present proprietor, had no noti ie to discontinue and consequently could collect, although it was not denied that defendant had notified former pro- prietor to discontinue. In any event defonant was bound to pay for the time he had received the paper and until he had paid all arrears due igr subscription. DR. . OWLE�►7 R �.. XT"sOF« ' - ,' Wl L.
