Su I turn the leaves of fancy till in shadowy design I tind the smiling features of an old sweets Lieart of mine, The lamplight seems to glimmer with a flicker of surprise As 1 turn it low to rest me of the dazzle in my eyes, Aud light my pipe in silence, save a sigh that seems to yoke Its fute with my tobacco, and to vanish in the emoke.Tis a fragrant retrospection, for the loving thought that start Into being are like perfumes from the Wor soma of the heart; And to dream the old dreams over is a Jux- ury divine, When my truant funcy wanders with that old sweetheart of mine, Though I hear beneath my study, like a fluttering of wings, The voices of my childreu and the mother as she sings I feel no twinge of conscience to deny ne any theme When care has cast her anchor in the Lar bor of a dream, A fuce of lily beauty and a form of airy grace Floats out of my tobacco asx the genins fram the vase; And I thrill beneath the glances of à pair of azure eyes As glowing ax the summer and as tender as the skies, I can see the pink sun bonnet and the little checkered dress She wore when first I kissed her, and slie answered the caress With the written declaration that, \u201cas surely us the vine Grew \u2018round the stump, she loved me,\u201d that old sweetheart of mine.And again I feel the pressure of her slender little hand As we used to talk together of the future we had planned, When I should be a poet, and with nothing else to do But to write the tender verses that she set the music to.When we should live together in a cosy little cot Hid in a nest of roses, with a tiny garden spot.Where the vines were ever fruitful and the wenther ever fine, And the birds were ever singing for that old sweetheart of mine.When I should be her lover forever and a day, And she wy faithful sweetheart till the golden hair was grey ; And we should Le so Happy that when either\u2019s lips were dumb They should not emile in heaven till the other's kiss had come, But, ah, my dream is broken by a step upon the stair, And the door is softly opened, and my wife ie standing there;

one Philadelphia saloon keeper who thought so, and tried the experiment of violating it the other day, ran against a senteuce of $1000 fine and fifteen months\u2019 im- prisoument.That is the kind of law the Brooks high license law is.Do the \u2018Third Party prohibitionists suppose that they can make genuine temperance people believe that a law which closes five saloons out of every six and sends violators of its provisions to jail for fifteen months is a wicked law?We believe that the local option system, which materializes the necessary public sentiment before no-li- cense for the communities where the trafllc is tolerated, is better, and will close more saloons amt keep them closed longer thau a general prohibitory enactment.We do not claim a monopoly of all (he wisdom on this point.Perhaps we are mistaken in our opinion, but if so it is an honest mistake, and does not justify claes- ing those who hold this view among the foes of temperance men everywhere, whether they have ever acted tbe Third Party or not, to give wits ~apgling about methods and Over W.tv in supporting the unite heart.i A avils of the liquor party against the * Involved, \u2018the trafic.The princips hit] on.but end in view, is not prob.\u2018local anti-saloonism.High license, option, probibition, ete., are mea.to this end, und there must be libert of action in selecting the means which under different circumstances and in different States, ave adapted to se cure this cod \u2014[N.Y.Tritmne, The Skeena Affair.AURIVAT OF H, M.8.\u201c\u201cCAROLINE.\u201d Victoria, B.C., July 39.\u2014H.MS.\u201cCaioline,\u201d Capt.Sir William Wiseman, arrived at Esquimault from Skeena this afternoon with the latest news concerning the Indian troubles.The Caroline\u201d arrived at the entrance of the Skeena on Thursday, the 19th iustant.Information was sought as to the condition of affairs at Hazelton, which is one hundred aud sixty miles from the mouth of the river, and distant 10 days by canoe, the river being a mad torrent enclosed by lofty canyons.The steamer \u2018Nate Harkin,\u201d arrived the day before from Hazellon, with statements that the reports about the massacre of the Hudson's Bay Company's agent aud others werc totally unfounded with the exception that tbe missionary al Hazelton and all the white residents had entered the shelter formed by the barricaded Hudson's Bay Company\u2019s post and the Indians were very threatening in demeanor and were still excited over the killing of Kitwinkwool Jim by Constable Green, who is now said to le a deserter from the American avmy.It was the opinion on board the *\u2018Iar- kin\u201d that serious trouble would probably ensue unless special police immediately proceeded to Hazelton.Two more Indiaus bad been killed, the cause being some trivial feud.A letter from Constable Washburn, of Hazelton, sent tothe Government, contains an account of the killing of these iwo men.An Indian named Tobas shot the father-in-law of Kit- winkwool Jim, and then went mad, and threatened to kill the head chief of another tribe.The latter claims that in self-defence he was compelled to kill Tobas which he did.Wash- burn and three constables went to the village, arrested him aud have him in charge at Hazelton.Green is also under arrest for killing Jim.From the statement of an Indian eve witness it would appear that Green wantonly shot Jim.The latter was in a house with a dozen others, and twice asked the three constables to arrest him.Ile had a pistol in his hand, and they dul not move, Jim suddenly walked out of the back door, the constables after him.Green went out in front of Jim, almost colliding with bim, when Jim passed, Green slot him in the back.Jim lived an hour.It is claimed he was about to give himself in custody when the shot was fired.Green's action is generally condemned, and lie will be tried for manslaughter.The day after the arrival of the \u201cCaroline\u201d the steamer ¢*Boscovilz\u201d arrived with Superintendent Roycroft on board, and after some difficulty in securing a crew of Indians, Mr.Roy- croft and twelve special constables started up the river for Hazelton.The trip will take nine or ten days up, and as soon as the facts are ascertained a messenger will Le sent back to Commandant Holmes of C.Battery.If trouble occurs the Battery will at once start up the river.If everything is settled amicably it will return to Vie- toria.\u2018The Battery is encamped at the mouth of the river.The men are in good spirits and are pleasantly situated ; no accident has overtaken any one so far.The officers and men are attired in brown duck, fashioned like minet\u2019s costumes.It is generally thought that the matter will be quietly settled.However, it is asserted that the fact of a war vessel being in Lhe river, and the presence of \u2018\u201cC\u201d Battery there, will have a salutary effect in deterring the Indians from further outrages.Many Hazelton Indians were at the Canneries fishing and were amazed beyond measure at the size of the \u2018Caroline\u2019s\u201d guus.The land lights die- played one night frightened many to shore who were fishing in the river.Port Essington is nearly eight hundred wiles from Victoria, and has no telegraphic communication nearer (han Nanaimo, seventy miles from Victoria, hence the long delay in hearing from the expedition, \u2014 oe.A Brave Act Rewarded.Last evening the employes of Messrs.Peck, Benny & Co.presented Mr.Arthur Hersey, of the Pillow- Hersey Manufacturing company, with a bandgome gold locket, with a suitable inscription engraved thercon, as a token of their admiration of his gallant conduct in plunging into the river at Beauharnois, at (he imminent risk of bis own life, in order to save from drowning a little girl named Mary Brophy, who had fallen into the river between the wharf and the steamer Princess.This gallant rescue was made on the uccasion of the first annual picnic of the employes of the Canada Rolling Mills, held on Saturday last, and was the seventh occasion on which Mr.Hersey has risked his life in saving others\u2019 lives from a watery grave.\u2018The presentation was wade by the manager of the works, Mr.Armitage Rhodes, in a graceful manner, to which Mr.Hersey replied in appropriate terms.\u2014[ Montreal Gazette.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Don\u2019t You?We like to hear a mau refuse to take his home paper, and all of the time sponge on lis neighbor for the reading of it.We like to hear a man complain when asked to subscribe for his home paper, that he takes more now than he can read, and then go and borrow his peighbor's or loaf around until he gathers all the newa from it.We like to sce a man run down his home paper as not worth taking, and now and then beg the editor for a favor in the editorial.We like to sec a man run down his home paper, and then try to get a share of che trade which the newspaper bringa to the \u2018OWAN.We like to see this;

scen him do it with such effect that a few years ago.when this section was overrun with grasshoppers, there were none to do any\u2019 damage near the town, while all through the neighborhood the damage was very great.I have heard complaints that sparrows pulled green cherries off the trees.I dare say they do, lots of times, but in that case the sparrow does not want your green cherry nor your ripe one.If you shonll happen to get that green cher- vy away from him and examine it you would find a delicate little worm inside, a tit-bit for the bird.And you can afford to let him have it; for that cherry would not have been worth anything to you anyway, and the bird has\u2014he did not mean to doit, but has done it all the same\u2014prevented that worm from propagating and Lreeding other thousands of this kind.\u2018The same is true where vou find a sparrow interfering with young plants just coming out.I should like to sce in this ver min-ridden, weed-ridden place ten times as many bids of all kinds, sparrows included.The time is sure to come when national prejudice against the busy, spunky little immigrant will vanish again, as it ought to.Meanwhile, I will always spare some crumbs of bread for him to help him tide over the hitter winter.\u2014 Oliv Correspondent of N.Y.Times.el 2e Tur Mistassixt Mystery, ~The mystery of Great Lake Mistassini seems as far off satisfactory solution as ever.At all cvents, very grave doubts are cast upon the accuracy of the official report made by Mr.Low, of the Geological Survey, as to the dimensions of the great lake by the recent statements of a very intelligent man named Lachance, now resident in the Eastern Townships, but who some twenty years ago was in the Hudson's Bay Company's employ at Mistassini.In his report Mr.Low stated that he liad gone to the further extremity of the lake, and that its length was scarcely more that 100 miles, with a breadth of from 10 tu 12 miles in the widest part.Lachance contradicts this assertion point blank, claiming that where Mr.Lowe finished his survey, and where the lake seeins to end, it narrows into a gut, which Mr.Low took for an entering river.and that beyond this gut or strait it expands again into an immense sea, of which the length is unknown, but whose breadth, according to Lachance\u2019s Indian informants, varies between 60 and 90 miles.It may be remarked that Lachance's statements are to some extent corroborated by an Indian named Opescouti, who has hunt» ed a large part of the region along the shores of Mistassini, and that they also agree with the opinions held on the subject by many of the best informed persons both here and in the Saguenay country.eee mm The brutality with which uewly married people are treated by their Jesting friends is constantly receiving fresh illustration.At a recent Boston wedding a couple of sportive ushers discovered the train on which the bridal pair were to leave town, and what baggage they had.Driviog swiftly to the station they confided their plan to the baggage master, and with his connivance they aflixed to cach handle of the trunks of the bride and groom an enormous bow of white satin ribbon.If the groom did not blasplieme when hie saw the decorated trinks deposited in the hall of the hotel to which be went he may take rank with Job for patience.\u2014- \u2014- | The {amily skeletons am now on exhibition au the bathing beach.WHOLE NUMBER, 2220.Will Canada Be Bullied or ought.* [From the Huntingdon Gleaner.) Whenever the United States Senate has nothing particularly to do, the debate on the fisheries treaty is resumed, geuerally iu the form of a long essay read by a Republican and read as a campaign document.Abuse of England and the arousing of the vilest national prejudices forin the staple of these so-called speeches.On BMon- day Senator Dawes raised the novel point that\u2014 The Declaration of Independence, entitled the United States to the fisheries, nnd that the treaty in 1773 was but the recital of that title.When the treaty was adopted the rights of the United States in those waters were precisely the same as the rights of the British Crowu in them.According to this doctrine, the United States ought to have proprietary rights iu all British colonies at the time of the Revolution.The declaration of independence has been generally accepted as an act of severance from Great Britain; it remained for the great Dawes to discover that the American colonies could repudiate British control and yet continue to enjoy all the privileges of British connection.The rule would work both ways, however, as Senator Morgan showed by asking the question\u2014 Whether if Senator Dawes\u2019 opinion of colonial rights in respect to the fisheries was correct, Canadians would not have the same fishing rights on all of the American coast down to Georgia as the Americans had claimed in Canadian waters?Such a question is enough to upset the most patriotic of theories and Senator Dawes declined to answer it, telling Morgan with withering scorn that he was not going \u201c\u2018to be drawn from the line of \u2018his argument, but expressed his willingness (whenever he liad leisure) to sit at the feet of the senator from Alabama and learn all about the subject.\u201d Senator Stewart took no stock in constitutional theories and wanted to settle this bother about the fisheries upon business principles by buying Canada.He said\u2014 England should name the sum to be paid for the Dominion of Canada, the Dominion should name the conditions of union, and the United States should respond in a spirit of consideration and generosity.If no treaty could be made on these terms all negotiation should cease until there was time for reflection and consideration and for irritation to pass away.The arrogance and self-conceit of talk like this indicates, is not paralleled outside the republic.The debate 18 expected to close next week, when the treaty will be rejected on a party vote.Potatoes.When I was a little child I learned thie secret of success in cooking potatoes.This secret is told in a little article by Mrs.M.C.Hungerford in the Housewife.This is her story : \u201cYou must eat them as soon as you can,\u201d said new cook.But first they must be cooked,\u201d I said, suggestively.\u201cAv course,\u201d said the dignified Irish lady, **if ye\u2019ll attend to the atin\u2019, wid- out anny waitin\u2019 I'll tend to the bil- ing.\u201d Aud so she did, in such a skilful fashion that in place of the dawp, blue, soggy vegetables to which faie had accustomed us, and which we had phlegmatically accepted as inevitable, we saw on our dinner-table a dish of fluffy snowballs.\u2018They were as different from the daily potatoes of the past as one woman's bread is from another's.\u2018How do you cook them, Bridget 7\u201d I asked, after paving the way toa good natured reply by a big dose of flattery.\u201cWell, I don\u2019t, in gineral answer questions that's axe in regards (0 me cookin\u2019,\u201d she answered, with the flattery evidently working in her system.\u201cBut if it\u2019s not far puttin\u2019 it inter a book ye waut it, I don't miud tellin\u2019 ye fur wonst.\u201d She did not prescribe a paper, so I dou\u2019t feel guilty of dishonesty in telling The Housewife\u2019s readers her rule : Peel the polatoes with a thin paring, **for the sweetness of the cray- turs lies nixt to the skin, an\u2019 ve shouldn\u2019t be slicin® it off,\u201d soak them len minutes in salt water; then put them on to boil in fresh, cold water; cover the saucepan and set it where it will boil very fast.When the potatoes are tender, hut not overdone, pour off all the water; sprinkle some salt over the potatoes;
