Rome was the first whose researches elicited anything like a satisfaceory memoir of the great bardjwhile' others worked to the same end without ac- . consplishing mirth. He was born April 23rd, 1564, at Stratfordsupon•Avois and was scarcely eighteen when he fell in love with Miss Ann Hathaway, about eight- years his senior,and whose niatri- menial life was not enviable; his fain. ily.consisted of eight children. His death occurred on. the anniversary of his birth in 1616, having -completed ex- actly,. 52 years and his wife 'survived him just 7 years,.

After the usual opening exer- cises the belk of the time was taken riotic nature. The first of these "Our Country's Peril," was given by'3.'11ous. ton, principal of the Collegiate; it was exceedingly interesting and timely.. The speaker first referred to the nega- tive side of the question,. then to the positive side. There is a danger .of press the war spirit. We share with Britain in this war in Africa, but where ie the place for boasting -a great empire pitched against two small re- publics. Then again our country's peril lies in apathy, evinced by lack of practical sympathy towards the needy, for instance, the starving. multitudes of India -and towneds Missions also. Our country's peril lies also in "irrel- iginn," Proofs of the correctness of this statement may be seen in the sIhn attendance of young people at this meeting, in our Sabbath sclaoole4ar• ticularly of the larger scholars') and also in the Want of respect for the Sab- bath. The second topic; "Our Coun try's Hope," was taken by Rev Mr Howson, of Rattenbur3r street church. Some of the leading tl3o9ghts were: - All true patriots will desire the fullest development of this country -that our mines should be worked, our,prairie lands reclaimed, the, whole land dotted „with schools and churches, a family al- tar in every home, and Christ in every heart. Then the speaker referred to the means by which and the conditions under which this Might be fulfilled; some of those mentioned were favor- able climate, free education, churches many and free to all, wise legislation, preservation of the Sabhath2 the en- thusiasm of -the young, the Wisdom . f ideation. • the aged, and a cleat vision of the Al.
