JOHN AND THE WIZARD. oast a shade, if with love we will warm others, if with ooldness we will chill them, if with purity we will inspire pureness— like producing like everywhere. Dealing with personality he instanced the influence of Samuel over Saul, causing nim to forget his vengeance on David and join the pro- phets; of Jesus on Pilate, who so unwilling! ly gave him over to the Jews; and of Pan, on Felix when he reasoned of righteousness temperance, and judgment to come. He farther illustrated this point by three preachers who preached on the same text; the first logical in its¢If,scriptural an ev- angelical, but the man's life is notoriously bad, and the sermon does no good, you are disgusted with his hypocrisy; the second is of weak personality, of no backbone, tuned in the presence of the ungodly, adjusting himself to oircnmetanoee, you know the man and suspect him of trimming to suit hie audience; the effect is of little good. The third is not logical, bas no great abil- ity, is only a simple gospel sermon; you know the man to be true, of good purpose, earnest to save souls; the result is that yon are deeply interested and affected by bis sermon. The personality of the roan made the difference. The above principle is eq- ually trne when applied to teachers and workers in the Epworth League and Chris- tian Endeavor. The order laid down by God is, 1st, take heed to yourself; upon a man's character depends the view he takes of doctrine; if his Weis clouded his doctrin- al views will not be clear nor just. Pauls when a narrow, bigoted partizan pereeont- ed the followers of Christ, and oonsented to the death of Stephen, but when convert- ed, when of a better character, be was ready to be offered up for Christ. Change of character revolutionized his ideas of doc- trine. Be careful to have teachers of good char- acter, men and women with God's love in their hearts, as their lives influence child- ren more than what they say, as oar ants are more intelligible than words, being the indicators of our hearts. This point was illustrated by a teacher, who wan consider• ed by her class a model teacher, losing their esteem by meeting them at a dance. Christians are the eye -glass through which people, who do not real their Bibles, look for Christ and his Church. Eye -glasses to be neeful need to be kept clean and pure. He closed with an earnest appeal to the teachers to take heed to their churches, then to doctrine, and continue to do so, and to rest assured that in so doing they "would both save themselves and those that hear them. The value of a child to the Kingdom of Righteousness—The main thought run- ning through this admirable address, illus- trated by so many humorous and pathetic stories that endeared the distinguished secretary to the hearts of ns all in a never - failing memory, was that the s.tivation of a child was of more importance than that of an aged sinner. In the one case you save a life without a record of past evil and with wonderful possibilities for good; in the other case the past evil rises np against the reformed life, crippling it, and at beat we only save the remnants. He compared the work of the teacher to that of the light- JERVIS—ANDREWS—At the Meths. house keeper, and that of the salvation dist parsonage, Holmesville, by the Rev. army to the men who man the life -boat to G.

He urged all teachers to strive for improve- ment, for it we stood still, the children would, in a few years, leave us with good. natured contempt, contrasting our stum- bling efforts with the almost perfect meth- ods of the public sohool teacher. No child should be lost out of the sohool. The teach- er should visit them in their homes and in- vite them back.

For a field of the slain rushes red on my sight, And the clans of Old Tupper are scattered in flight; They rally! they cheer! for their party. renown; Woe, woe to the voters that trample them down; Proud Willison prances, insulting thefslain In jubilant tones. unmistakeably plain; And swift through the country there comes on on the air A messa8e,that rings with the tone of deapair; Brave Whitney, 'tis thine, whose constituents wait. With trembling hearts, the report of thy fate, For a Hardy majority swells to the sky, O'er the Province that peals with the Piggery Cry, ST. JOHN:- - Go, preach to the coward, thou death -telling seer, If the field of my fate so dlaastrous appear; Draw, dotard, around thy old wavering sight, This mantle, to cover the phantoms of fright. W rzeRD:— Ha! laughest thou, St. John, my vision to acorn, That foreshadows the doom of that ill-fated morn ? Proud bird of West York, thy flight was afar Outstripping thy peers in political war; The wings of thy fanny, well pinioned with lies From the sty on the Humber exultingly flies; But alas thou art fallen, retnrn to thy home, Forlorn through the country no longer to roam. 0, gallant St. John! brave knight of the Pork, Thy star leads no more the electors of York; Thy followers are scattered, all fled in dismay, With the pig -sticker howling, in vain for his Pay ST. JOHN:— False Wizard, avaunt!I have marshalled my clan; Their schemes are a thousand. their purpose is one: From Hardy's firm grapple the sceptre to wrench, And capture Ontario's treasury bench. Then welcome proud Middlesex' steed to the shook; Let his eloquence flash, like the foam on the • rock; But woe to his party, and woe to his cause When Whitney his claymore indignantly draws, When his boodling chieftains to victory crowd Miscnmpbell the dauntless, and Magwood the loud, All reeking of sty in their Tory array— wrzAnD:• — St. John! St. John! beware of the day! 'Tis a view of the past gives prophetical lore, And coming events east their shadows before. Behold with dissensions your party all torn, Submerged neath the billows of popular scorn; Behold your brave leader his forces o' erthrown As he sighs o'er the wreck, sad,deleoted.alone, With the fame of his party eclipsed in defeat, And his pledges and promises oast at, his feet, And the fumes of the hog -pen to poison the gale. Sr. JOHN:— Down. soothless intruder. Itrust not the talo, For ne'er shall our party a destiny meet So dark with dishonor, so foul with retreat, But invincible still, when the battle is o'er, Though our seats in possession don't number N score; Though the Premiership, with its coveted powers And honored endowments, may never be ours Yet untainted with power, and unshamed with retreat, We'll look longingly there, from the shades of defeat.

On Friday, Feb. 11, at the auction sales in London, England, about I00 horses, mostly Canadian, were sold at prices rang- ing from $120 to $165 each. The demand, however, was not quite as good as experi. enced during the week previous. There has, however, been an increased inquiry during the past season for Canadian ani- mals in the English market, whi3h augurs well for horse raisers in this country, and should induce them to pay more attention to the class called for on the other side. Heavy draft and good carriage horses ap- pear to be most suitable for the export trade.
