The blushing rose now fades away ; Bright waving tassels, touched, decay.The sweet, luxuriant, purple dye Of budding Spring meets not the eye ; Spring's myriad, lovely voices, sweet.No more tia enraptured ear will greet ; Its thrilling, bounding joys now cease, Bat Nature\u2019s annual joys increase ; In grandeur «till she lifts her bead, Maturer forms around are spread ; In amber, pearl, in aaure bright, She towers proud Queen, before our sight ; In matchless draperies, golden light, She stirs each.soui.gives deep delight, , The\u2019 shadows fall on all around.She spanks in mysteries profound ; With inward sense, with meanings rare, She clothes the things that visual are\u2014, To Beasoa'a eye points out the way To realm* where germs immortal ray I Tho\u2019 darting now ber sobered beam, In majesty she grows supreme ; In statelier charm, In gorgeous hue, In changing dye, in lustres new, In trailing robes, bursts on the view, Of ecaslet, crimson, faded green, In statu sequences glorious seen, Telling that 'tie the falling year That wide augments her wondrous sphere,\u2014 Gives compass, breadth, enlargement, still,\u2014 Not Fate its bound, hot Sovereign Will ; !

journals of Oreat Britain.\u201d \u201cModoc\u201d strikes us as a good word in this argument.It expresses clearly what half a oolumn of description would fail of conveying.It takes the wind out of the sails of the Revinct' inference completely, while it helps at the same time the conclusion that the country is better out of the hands of the hungry post office raiders, and purchasers of stolen confidential papers.When outside op in ion is so eagerly courted by our Opposition contemporaries, we trust we are not trespassing in throwing a little into the ever increasing heap, just by way of shewing that hypocrisy; while succeeding in creating an out-cry against virtue, cannot always secure an unanimous vote of canonisation for itself.COMMERCIAL AND SHIPPING GAZETTE.QUEBEC.FRIDAY.OCTOBER IT.1873.No.10.488.Bfegantlc County Rifle Association.ÜNÜLLSH OPINION, AND A LITTLE AMERICAN.Bo soon as the Saturday Review woke up to the tact that there was some considerable political excitement in Canada over |b« charges against the Government in connexion with the award of the charter of the Canadian Pacific Railway Com-pony, it thought proper to comment upon the information it had received from the seat of war.Its article has afforded the organs of the Opposition no little comfort during the past couple of weeks, ond the Saturday Review has been hurled remorselessly at an innocent and con fid ing public, until the mention of that periodical excites groans of agony.Of course the Review does not stand alone \u2022 an offensive weapon in the hands of the Opposition, the Pall Mall Gazette, the Timet, the Standard, and other journals have helped in the fray, but the Review having taken the most nonsensical view of the situation, is the latest, and perhaps the best engine of deceitfalneas to employ at \u2022 time when home made opinion is next to exhausted.There is one sentence in the Review\u2019s article, however, which the Grit journals do apt comment upon at any great length, because it strikes a left handed blow at rampant hypocrisy, severe enough to cause even \u2022the Globe to wince.The writer assuming the defeat of the Conservative Government observes: \u201cThere is unfortu-\u201c nately little reason to hope that the \u201c public administration will be improved « by the necessary change.\u201d The point of qualification is, to our understanding^ well taken.The Review cannot see in the party now madly striving for power, the elements of public honesty and trustworthyness, necessary as conditions of fitness.It sees, through the smoked glasses it has been using, the Govern mantras the frying-pan in which the country has been cooked, but the Opposition the fire in which its interests of would be utterly destroyed.We do not coincide in this opinion wholly.Wo are not prepared to accept the present Government as entirely perfect, we have never efaumed for if immaculate purity, but that it has done great things for Canada the most rabid Grit cannot deny.That it has been economical in expenditure, yet liberal in great measures, that it has extended wonderfully the commercial facilities, mini developed the resources of the country, that its policy has ever been public improvement and benefit, that it has lightened the burdens and increased the comfort, well being and safety of the people.cannot be for an instant controverted, for the vast strikes the Dominion has -been making to prominence among the «Alloua are the immediate outgrowth of the wise and enlightened administration of public aflàirs.The country is willing to endure roasting for many years to come in the Ministerial kitchen, with a good Opposition to keep the utensils up to tiu proper cooking heat.But a jump into the fire is a departure not to be undertaken too hastily when all the b circumstances of the present struggle am considered.We will juet take a little American opinion on the subject.The Portland Press says : « That the Opposition has been more desperatJj reckless than the administration is beyond question.The manner in which it got hold of the proof presented by Mr.Huntington would have disgraced beyond redemption any party in America, while its theft, in the interest of Mr.John Young, of a private letter written by the Canadian Premier to an associate in the Ministry, the Hon.Mr.Pope, suggesting, if we remember aright, the tender of an ultimate place in the Senate to a Montreal merchant if he would consent to run for the other House to fill the vacancy that would be occasioned by Mr.Young\u2019s (presumed) retirement\u2014and rightly presumed as appears from a letter from Mr.Young himself\u2014was more infamous still.The letter marked \u201c private was stolen from the post office, sent to Mr.Young, and by him, after consultation with the Opposition leaders, published in the Montreal Herald! \u201cWhile the people and the press of the United States will condemn many things in the conduct of the administration in its struggle to keep in power, and especially its use of so much money in the elections of Ontario and Quebec, aa it seems to have been supplied with, they will look upon the Opposition (who by their policy and tacites appear to be the Modoos of modern politics) as far less worthy of their respect.And in this view it is obvious that they are a£ one with nearly all the leading statee- ClericHl Antes.ST AM OXFORD M.A.The generally acknowledged Chief of the Liberal or Broad party in the Church of England, at the present day, is the Dean of Westminster.Arthur Penrhyn Stanley is the son of a late bishop of Norwich, and was educated under Dr.Arnold of Bugby, whose memoirs he hSM moat feelingly written.Arnold, together with Archdeacon Hare, was the champion of liberalism in his day, and the bosom friend of that most highly-cultivated German nobleman, Baron Bunsen.Under Arnold, Rugby became the training-school of Christian liberalism, or as it has been vul-g»r v called \u2022Muscular Christianity.\u201d The truo I'.inciplea of this muscular Christianity are simply these : that every faculty we possess, every faculty of the body as well as of the soul belongs to God, and is to be used in his service, that it is our duty to develop the body in all its powers, not for wretched self-indulgence, but for manly work ; and above all, in the good noble spirit of ancient chivalry, for the relief of the oppressed and the pnn-ishmeut of the wrong-doer.The truest and best picture of what is meant by muscular Christianity, and of what Bugby life was in Arnold\u2019s time, will be found in that most interesting story by Tom Hughes, called «\u2018Tom Brown's School-days,\" and in the somewhat inferior sequel to the same story called lls, by return mail.So\u2019d In Quebec by J.Masson and A Co., W.E.Brunet, E.Giroux A Brother, J.E.Burke, R.McLeod, W.H.LaRoche, and all Medicine Dealers.August 28.1878.PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.Iron in tfte Btood

Mr.Editor,\u2014The people of Quebec are certainly endowed with great patience.It is some time since permission was granted for the demolition of the gates and part of the fortification walls ; St.Louis and Pjescott Gates have disappeared, but the contractor is taking his time with Hope and Palace Gates.The latter has been left the entire summer in the most disgraceful condition, the roadway being dangerous and the footways wholly impassable.It appears the contractor is in need of stone, and he is procuring that as rapidly as possible, quite regardless of public accommodation and the conditions under which the leave for demolition was granted one of which is that the walls be left m that state so as to render their restoration easily feasible.Jhe tact is that the wall between Hope and Palace Gates will soon be a hope-less ruin.The destruction of the block house at Palace Gate is simply au act ot Vandalism.Ihe Mayor should immediately compel the contractor to pot Palace Hill in a proper state, widen the roadway and construct the sideways.At present, passing there at night time is an absolute risk, as large stones abstract the road aud have done so all summer The whole transaction baa the appearance of a second Parliament House job.Yours, Ac, Viator.Quebec, Oct.13th, 1873.Fair Flay.( To the Editor qf the Morning Chronicle.) Sir,\u2014A correspondent who signs himself ee above, objects to the winner of the boy's race on the Esplanade, on the ground of his his being over the age of thirteen, and also infers that undue favor was shewn him.All to be said in reply is that the winner of the boy\u2019s race is only thirteen years of age, and that there was no favor shown him whatever.Moreover, there were competitors for the same prise who were considerably older than the winner.Your obedient servant.\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 \u2022 Quebec, 16th October, 1873.radically and superlatively wrong.It would j tax the ingenuity of a hundred fools to invent a worse one.The fact is, with rare exceptions, there should never be any pull upon the horse at all.A steady pressure is allowable, probably advisable ; but anything beyond this has no justification in nature or reason ; for nature suggests the utmost possible freedom of action of head, body aud limbs, in order that the animal may attain [ the highest rate of speed ; and reason certainly forbids the supposition that by the bits, and not by the breast-collar, the horse is to draw the weight attached to it.In speeding my horses I very seldom grasp the lines with both hands when the road is straight and clear from obetructions.The lines are rarely steadily taut but held iu easy pliancy, and used chiefly to shift the bit in the animal\u2019s mouth, and by this motion communicate courage and confidence to him.I find that by this method my horses break less, and go much taster than when driven by men who put the old-fashioned steady pull upon them.\u2014From Mr.Murraye Book on \u2022\u2022 The Perfect Horse.'1 MAKES THE WEAK I, The Peruvian Syrup, a Protected Solution of the Protou idr of Iron, is so combined as to havo the character of an aliment, Py\tthe RoguM.^ Tsuhysar fani,,h*d 40 8h,ï>Mastere, once ¦,-8.°rTy\" Of wrecked Vessels and Carra Promptly attended to.Office\u2014Victoria Chambers, Corner of 8L Paul and SL Peter Streets.Dwelling 49, St John Street, without.JOHN DICK* Fort Ward» h.May 8, 1878»\tFa U ader contract with tbe Government of Canada tor tbe Conveyance of Canadian and United Stafes Mails.1878\u2014Sommer Arrangement*\u20141878 ***\u2022 l' 1 .¦>'\t\" \u2019 This company^ lines are com- posed of the undo rooted First-class, PuU-Clyde-built Doable-engine, Iron steamships :\u2014 Tons.®£*DlïriAN.4J00\t( Buiidj Sl^CASfUAN.8400\tCapt J Wylie.POLYNESIAN.4200\tCapt R Brown.\u2022£®£££5AN.8600\tCapt A AJrd.iOAaiMNA.VIAN.8000\tLt Smith, RNR.ÏKJKt*.*Ü0°\tLt\tRNR.2700 J Ritchie.NES TORI AN _.270C Capt Watts.MORAVIAN.-3650\tC.Jt J Greham.\u20142600\tCapt Richardson.8484\tLt F Archer, RNR JfAWITORAN.S400\tCapt Hngh Wylie.C^ADLAN.so«0\tCapC McKensle.u P YA8CQTIAN.2800\tCapL Grange, îiS?SLAME?ICAN\u201c17S4 C^Pi * CORINTHIAN.-2400\tCapt Jas ScotL ACADIAN.I860\tCapt Cabei.i^f^C^AN.-2400\tCapt E Scot!.î80e\tC*pl A Wtod*> ?££ATRICK.1307\tCapt Stephen.NEW FOUNDLAND.1500\tCapL Mylio*.THE STEAMERS OF THE LIVERPOOL MAIL LIKE fHklling from LIVERPOOL «very TBURr-DAY, and from QUEBEC every SATURDAY (calling at LOCH FOYLE to receive on mend and land Mails and Passengers to and from Ireland and Scotland) are Intended to deepstebed from QUEBEC Caafiak.Saturday, goth Sept, 1878.Sa*j«attaw.\u201e.\t« 27th .\t\u201e Cibcassia*- g\tuh\toct.,\t« POLTjrSSXAV.\t44\tnth\t.a uJivt .& in MIITim UP HRTIEBSfllP.CIIII1IID1TI0I Of (BUI CIUOIHCE SUE.-ooo- FALL \" AlttttfeHM AT AND WINTER DRY GOODS SELLIJSTG OFF AN IMMENSE SACRIFICE.WE HAVE PLEASURE IN ACKNOWLEDGING THE success, so far, of our Clearance Sale, the general appreciation of our REDUCED PRICES has enabled us to dispose satisfactorily of our large Spÿhg and Summer Stock.We jjtfw offer at the same greatly REDUCED PRICES OUR ENTIRE STOCK OF FALL AND WINTER DRY GOODS, Including the large importation of the present season, forming* the most extensive and valuable assortment in Quebec, viz.:\u2014Blankets, Flannels, Cloths, Tweeds, Winter Cloakings, Wool Hosiery and Underclothing, French Merinos, Black and Colored Silks, Fancy Dress Goods in great variety, Rich Paisley and Wool Shawls, Pure Irish Linens, Shirtings, Sheetings, and Domestic Goods of every description.Damask and Lace Curtains, Wool, Fringes, &c.FLOCK OIL CLOTHS, Carpets, Drnggets, Felts, Matting, Hearth Rugs, Door and Carriage Mats, &c., &c.9g~ The Lowest Cash Price Harked in Plain Figures on Baoh Article, \"TBt ISO SECOIVD PRICE.BEHAN BROTHERS.October 11, 1873.\t Ruction £alf$.'\t3turt master, as she now lies or did He wrecked at Ferrolle Point, 8».John\u2019s Bay, North Shore of Newfoundland, wl'h Engines, Steam Winches, Masts and Spars standing, Chalnsand Anchors, and whatever materials may be found on board ;
