that, however they may tend to fortify the general argument in support of which thay are used, they do not by themselves afford a basis upon which their Lordships\u2019 judgment can be founded.For these reasous, their Lordships are of opinion that the judgment of the Exchequer Court of Canada, as well as the judgment of tho Supreme Court confirming the judgment of the Exchequer Court so far as it decided that the respondents were entitled to the principal of their debentures, bat varying the same by declaring that the respondents were entitled, in addition to the principal, to in terest from the date of filling tho petition of right, are erroneous, and their Lordships will humbly advise Her Majesty that they shonld be reversed aud judgment entered for the Crown.Delays are dangerous, particularly iu Kidney Diseases, so take at once Dr.Van Uuren\u2019s Kid-nay Cure and obtain relief from all > our suffer ng*.Your Druggist keeps it.\tdSrw Mr.W; Maguiro, merchant, ut Krunklin, write» : I was afflicted with pain in my sûoulder for eight years\u2014almost helpless at thin s\u2014have tried many remedies, but with no relief, until I used Dr.Thomas\u2019 Kclectric Oil.After a few applications the pain left me entirely, and I have had no pains -ince.July 29.1882.\t.Tni-d&w «LOVER, FRY & CO., (ESTABLISHED 1842), INSPECTION BY T N VITE T H E Strangers visiting Quebec, of their Large and Choice Stock of Fancy Dry Goods Bonnets\u2019 and Guinets\u2019 pure Black Silks, Satin Merveilleux, Black and Colored Satins, Lyons Silk Velvets, Brocades, Embroidered Cashmere Dresses, Ac.Real Laces in Honiton, Duchesse, Point, Maltese, Spanish, Ac., and a great variety of the newest makes in the best Imitation Laces» Alexandre\u2019s, and other Kid Gloves, 2 to 12 Button», Suede and Tan Mousquetaire Glove», Silk Hosiery in all the Fashionable Colers.Umbrellas, Ulsters, Travelling Wraps, Scotch Plaids, Ac.Drets and Mantle-Making and Millineiyi under first-class management.Special Orders executed with great despatch.New Goods every week by Mail Steamers.GLOVER, FRY & CO.-NOTIOIE.MK.T.DOMBROUSKI BEGS le*\\u I to inform his customers, and the i public generally, that he is not in partnership with anyone, and still carries on busi* !

be more in the public interest for the Road Committee to abandon the idea of repairing the St.Augustin street stairs and place a small stairs over the cliff on Cote a Coton, or Gallows Hill ?It is a wel.'-known fact that ten persons will use those stairsJior the one that will nse the St.Augustin street stairs.By this improvement yon would then have a straight sidewalk from John street to Yalier street, and save the nse of some three to four hundred Îards of sidewalk in the turn of the hill.his would also be taken advantage of by parties purchasirg in the Montcalm market.It would be largely used by persons travelling by the North Shore Railway, the station being quite close to Valier street.Lemesu-\u2022 rier\u2019s large wood yard, and also the Palais wood market, would he easily reached, and in many other ways the change would be felt.The cost would, no doubt, be small in comparison to the St.Augustin street stairs.It is to be hoped that the matter will be looked into by our

and the sum of the whole matter was that Esau is presented to us in the text as \u201ca profane person,\" who bartered away spiritual privileges for which he had no relish, and the possibilities of the unseen and the future for material advantages or sensual gratifications of the present.Esau never sustained a spiritual struggle ; he sustained no long continued trial, tor at the first trial he faileil\u2014failed lamentably, and in the hasty surrender of his spiritual life to his fleshly appetites, you have a key to his character and a key to the character of those Cnristaius who follow Christ so long as their desires and lusts can be brought into harmony with their profession, and when that cannot be done, then Christianity must stand aside.In other words they take what they like best, and this was exactly what Esau did.For the advantages of birthright which were remote aud largely spiritual be cared nothing, but he was keenly alive to the advantages of a good dinner.Later on he thought it possible to make the best of both worlds, but he was disappointed.Beyond this, what reason had he to complain ?None that I can discover.He wanted for noue of the things moat highly prized by men, then and since.Let us measure him by his wealth and we shall find that he was the millionaire of his day.It is true he was unlike tfie Christian millionaire ot th i nineteenth century : his kindlier feelings were not all crushed out by bis wealth ; he hal some faint idea that he brought nothing into the world and that probably he should carry nothing cut of it.Nor was he a monopolist of wealth, for to his credit be it said he had caught a truth which some cruel fate has placed just beyond the grasp of the money-makers of our tunes, he was able to say \u201cI have enough, my hi other.\u201d To your modern millionaire there is really no such word as \u201cenough\u201d\u2014give five millions, he wants ten, give him ten he wants twenty, give him twenty and then he wants a hundred ; give him the wjrld and he will still \u201cwant,\u201d aud with all his wealth he dies a beggar, for he is still hungry and unsatisfied.He never reaches the point where he can say \u201cI have enough\u201d and his tongue would burn with an unquenchable fire if he attempted to call any man his \u201cbrother.\u201d To him there is no brotherhood of humanity ; he looked behind him, and lo, he baa been converted into a pillar of gold\u2014 without affections, without the hopes, fears or the flesh and blood of poor human nature.Esau never reached tbis unhappy j eminence.He could sp \\\u2018 .'r terms of his man servants and his maid servants and he knew that thev were not mere victime to be thrown to the gréât god of gold.At present men calling themselves C irritions offer victims to this god by the thousands : they are offered in his factories { or his ships, in his mines, or his railways, in his warehouses, but tbe high temple ici: his human sacrifices is the stock exchange.Men say it is all fair, and the revel of blood and suffering proceeds unchecked.He pays his victims and he has a legal right to their sufferings and they have no legal right to complain.Such a man deplores the dogmatism of churches, but he has a well-defined creed of bis own.Here it is.No God : no heaven, no sunshine, no humanity, no bright spring of joy aud hope, no sweet promises stealing around the soul and wafting it to re cions ot peaœ and rest ; faith is dead and nothing is so pleasant as the dreary life of Midas where everything has been converted into gold.This is his faith and he is consistent m his profession.Thoughtless people sometimes say that such men have no religion.This is doubtless the language of envy.I say advisedly man can\u2019t live without a religion of some kind, and as a matter of fact no man does.There are, it is true, men who flatter themselves into the belief that they are above the weakness of being religious, their small remaining balance of conscience assures them that they art hypo-cr.tes themselves, and therefore they are toléra jly certain thateverybodyelse is a hypocrite.You And a man in our day who is selfish, impure and Godless, and his creed is in entire harmony with nis practice ; and so your modern fool has declared that there is no God, save the great God of Business, to whom he makes prayer day and night in the Counting House.Therefore to worship this God\u2014 Himself, to bring daily tribute to his shrine, is the very perfection of wisdom, while to worship the unseen and spiritual is, according to his theology, rank lolly.This is his re.igion.Tne palpable mess of potage in tbe shape of dollar bills and a prosperous business elicits more heartfelt devotion than all the fu'ure promises _of the Gospel.Such are many who call themselves Christians.Every section of the Christian Church has such members- men who will neither go into the kingdom of heaven themselves,-nor allow tnose who would.They are a disgrace and a weakness to tbe religion of Christ.They are ou- of sympathy with its spiritual and Divine life, and they constantly of deliberate purpose ignore its teachings.Tbe unsanctified rivalry of churches ; our uu.iappy divisions and the lamentable fact that cents are apparently of more consequence than souls, have ail more or less contributed to render these Mammon worshippers jL-jie-cessity to our assemblies.But look at the destruction they are working in our churches.Wc have committed Saul's offense and we stifle our conscience with Saul\u2019s excuse.And \u201cSamuel said what raeaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, aud the lowing of uxen which I hear.And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalakites for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oven to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God.\u201d If tbe prophet were to present himself I fear be would be shocked at the immunity enjoyed by wealtfiy sinners and the sinners who would like to lie wealthy.Is it any wonder then that these men turn round and rend the church.If the church pats them on the back, and canonizes the profligate as a saint, little wonder that bis common sense rebels against such sham religion, when he knows within himself that he is a most arrant hypocrite.He is not blind, although the clergyman may be\u2014and he is well aware that he is sought after, and thrust prominently lor ward in church matters because of his money.May the God of mercy deliver us speedily from this terrible disgrace.While me god of gpld is worshipped so earnestly by our churches we need never hope to make any advance.The wealth and majesty of Heathendom fell before the story of the Cross when told by poor and illiterate fishermen, and it only required faithfulness on the part of professing Christians to have obtained a complete victory.As it is, we have sold our birthright of\"spiritual progress and vie tor v for a mess of Mammon a potage, and it is useless for us to complain ; we have male our cnoice, and now when the world of ungodliness cries aloud for help we fiud ourselves like Samson deprived of our strength.The hallelujahs of Sunday are lost in tbe anathemas of Monday and between the professions made in the ohnrch and the practices of everyday hie there is a great gulf lived.perous.afid'hU - posterityEecame \"TUnsIrfctft in the East, and while these are the chief bléttitigs sought after by worldly men, yet history has written him down a profane person just as it has already written \u201cworthless\u201d and \u201cselfish\u201d on the tombs of some modern millionaires who have passed away as their only appropriate epitaphs.So will our lives go out in darkness if we prefer sensual gratifications to the life of faith which brings us, not uufrequently the sharp spiritual conflict, and the halting gait, but against these and a hundred other disadvantages you cau place the tremendous and sign meant declaration that \u201cas a Prince hast thou power with God and with men,\u201d and in the mysterions battle of life your record will not be a dreary blank but a page of illamfuated brlghtnew containing the words, \u201cand hast prevailed.\u201d New Publications.\u201cIN THE HARBOUR.\u201d Messrs.Houghton, Mifflin A Co., of Boston, have just published the last volume of poetry which we are to have from Mr.Longfellow's pen.It is a small book, but very dainty and neat, uniform in size and style with \u201cUltima Thule,\u201d the poet\u2019s book of last year, and forms the second part of that collection.There are several good lyrics in \u201cIn the Harbour,\u201d besides some sonnets in Mr.Longfellow\u2019s sweetest vein, and a few translations of sterling value and interest.Altogether the volume contains twenty-nine pieces, five of which are purely personal.Among the latter is that beautiful monody to the memory of James T.Fields, poet, publisher and lecturer aud the life-long friend of the author, entitled \u201cAuf Wiedersehen.\u2019\u2019 Then We have, in the body of the book, \u201cThe Bells of San Bias,\u201d written only a few days before Mr.Longfellow\u2019s death :\u2014 \u201cO Bells of San Bias, in vain Ye call back the Past again 1 The Past is deaf to your prayer : Out of the shadows of night The world rolls into light It is daybreak everywhere.\u201d The gentle New England singer preserved his wonderful faculty to the last, and this little collection, small as it is, contains some of the tenderest and most beautiful fancies which he has ever put forth.\u201cDecoration Day,\u201d \u201cMad River,\u201d \u201cHerme\u2019s Trismegis-très\u201d and \u201cThe Chimes,\u201d may count among Mr.Longfellow\u2019s best things, and they are all printed in this volume.\u201cIn the Harbour\u201d is a sweet souvenir of one of the gentlest of men and kindliest of poets who ever lived.Our readers may order it through the Dawson\u2019s.\u201cTWO HARD CASES.\u201d In the pretty \u201cLittle Classic\u201d series, which Messrs.Houghton, Mifflin A Co.have made famous, is included a remarkably thoughtful essay entitled \u201cTwo Hard Cases,\u201d by Dr.Godding, Superintendent of the Government Hospital for the Insano at Washington The essay is full of careful reasoning, narrative in form, and speculative as regards treatment, though there are facts enough introduced to strengthen the author\u2019s line of argument.One of the \u201chal'd cases,\u201d is Guiteau, and Dr.Godding discusses him, and the insanity plea urged in his behalf, with a good deal of professional skill.He has made a most interesting paper ont of the assassin\u2019s state of mind, which others, besides .medical men, yyill like to ponder over and examine.It v^ould be unfair to give the result of Dr.Godding\u2019s speculations to the public just now.We would rather send our readers to the book itself, feeling confident that they will be greatly interested and amused in all that tbo author has to say on his subject.Tbe other \u201chard case\u201d ia no less instructive though not so well known as the Guiteau matter.It is wonderfully clever, and a most vigorous contribution to the literary and social history of mad citizens.We have read few books with as keen a relish as Dr.Godding\u2019s \u201cTwo Hard Cases.\u201d\u2014( Da w son\u2019s.)
