moreover, is not only im- ! practicable in this or any age, but Communism and spoliation in their worst form, comprise the chief features of the new policy.The Marquis of Louxk\u2019h contribution to the literature of this subject is timely and valuable.Ho knows the country ard the people well.He approaches the question in no unsympathetic or prejudiced spirit.Between landlord and tenant he draws a happy mean,.and the publication of his paper ought to ekert great moral influence in a community which is not disposed to turn a deaf ear to argument and reason.The question is ably discussed in TAe C'ontem-porttry, and thr sheep farms, a change benefiting the general public by bringing into the market much food and utilizing the mountains hitherto unused, but often causing hardship to\tthe - small\ttenant, who shifted his quarters to the town or to a colony to his own ultimate good but temporary pain ; the outcry against depopu lating the country, made by good-hearted men whoseJsympathies are proof against the lure of political economy ; above all the intercourse the West country islander has with Ireland.\u201d Lord Lorne next refer8 to the Royal Commission which lately made an inquiry into the situation.The report of this body, under the \u201cpersonal euidance of a distinguished Indian Governor and British Peer,\u201d has been issued.It \u201cnot only requested the Government to confirm in their crofts the larger holders* but has advised that a considerable class should become possessed of laads taken compulsorily from their neighbors.\u201d This picture of the West Islands is presented in the article in The Contemporary.It will be found dark enough.Says the Marquis :\u2014 \u201cIt you put the meekest of the augels or aoy seif-sacrificing -aint, on a piece of boggy c^ay, and made liim subsist tncre on a pesn-J>le pig and the pr : uious potato, he would become open to t> i.ptation to take whatever he could lay his b-.nda upon.It is impossible not to feel the gn atest respect and aflection for the Highlander in straightened circum-sUnces.He is G id-fearing, honest, refined in manner and in mind, hardy, and welt able to take advantage of opportunities offered to him.But he is mortal, and has failings like the rest of us.The climate is not calculated good crops or an energetic temperament.Until now he has not had an education in the English language placed within his reach.He therefore knows nothing but the traditions, often distorted by iniigination and repetition, derived from his fathers, and gathered from a narrow area.Inclined to keep at home, and naturally sociable, the geographical isolation of glen and island has prevented him from becoming an apt pupil of methods of improvement.He has resisted every innovation, from the days whan vaccination and continued individual possession of holdings were regarded by him as new-fangled Lowland curse?, to the present day, when he considers the introduction of Lowland farming or Lowland farmers as a n.w species of Egyptian plague.The want of knowledge of Englisit has been a mill-stone round hia neck in making him shy of going to the centres of humankind.It is not the man th it is in fault for this.It is the chain of circumstances that Los tied him down.He is i remnant of an old state of society which existed throughout England as well as Scot !&(!,{\u2014a state that has disappeared, as it must disappear also around him.Already, in spite of isolation and a desperate hatred of reform and suspicion of innovation, he is slowly moving into another day.The houses are usually bad, and the holdings are often so numerous and poor that very few owners are rich enongii to build the tenements required by-modern sanitvy cottars.It is in the poorest and worst educated districts that the tendency to further subdivision of the holdings led to squatting ; or the building of hovels and the commencement of the wretched cottar existence on places without leave of the landlord, is most marked.A young fellow marries a cottar s or crofter\u2019s daughter.He is haie and strong, and might get money easily elsewhere.She is young and healthy, and could well help him in doing so.It is manifest that the parent\u2019s patch of land has enough to do, and more, in giving a living to them and to the strong brothers who are only too likely to be already burdening the croft s resources.But the city life are so great, cf the community to briile docs not wish to go from home, and the mother likes to have her near her.What more natural ?It is vain to argue that from some neighbouring- county or town the old home might be frequently visited.No, nothing will content the young couple but to have a \u2018stance,\u2019 or site for a house, and to settle down on the sands or bogs to take their chance at home, with summer fishing to help them, or perhaps with even loss hopeful prospects.\u2019\u2019 Certainly, the*outlook is gloomy enough, hut it is not overdrawn or too highly colored, and one can well understand how true the whole dreary story is- Life in such homes must be scarcely worth living.The stock, we are told, is poor in quality and scant in num ber, and the crops owing to inferior culti vation are wretched.The general market is but badly served by the crofting system The implements employed are old, out o date and often almost useless.A century ago,

who treats in a liberal and able manner, the present Land agiution in the Highlands of Scotland.Mr Henry George has been doing hia utmost lately to foment feelings of discord and dissatisfaction among the crofters with his abaurd notions with regard to property and its division.The Duke of A navi.t.has been prompt to take him to task, and has dealt with the \u201cProphet of San Francisco\u2019s theories in a most convincing and argumentative way.That Geokus is sincere, no man in his senses will believe.It is his mission, apparently, to breed discord in a community by pleaching » daatrine, which while it dees ideas.Bad as the habi-uciou of the Hebridean often is, it is, as a rule, not so bad as it was in\u2019the good old times\u2019 wtiich'some men, who can rbyme but cannot reason, would bring back or perpetuate.Even now, in some parts of the L:wes you may see the bonsea of the past.8 xnetimes they were shaped like an Esqui-ruaux\u2019s igloo, of converging stones that met in a turf-covered dome, giving a 6 by 9 feet space inside, of 5 feet in height.Usually toey were of ampler dimension?.There was a d mble wall, with a gravel or sand filled space between.The roof, tnatched with grass aid s\u2019raw, rested not on the outer but iuuer wall-e Ige.In the entrance was a hand-mill, like a large cheese cut horizontally in two, for grinding the household meal.Beyoud this entrance was the largest space, reserved for cattle, whose dung was allowed to accumulate through the winter, and was only taken out in spring.Separated from this space only by a row of stones on the floor, was the part used by the family.A Red Indian's lodge was a palace compared to this abode.There were no tables, no chairs, no bedding, and rough clay utensils were used.A turf l-each and a board or two coflfcred with straw was ail the accommodation afforded for lying or sitting around the small central tire, whose smoke went up to cover with scot the thatch of the roof, adding to the gloom of an apartment unlit by any window.The soot-filled straw was often taken off the miserable dwelling to be used as manure on the cultivated patch which lay beyond the dirt at the door.In some districts the \u2018black bouses,\u2019 as these dwellings were fitly styled, uad a few coats less of dirt, aud au entrance for a little mors light was contrived.As a rule, they were built in village clusters, and the land around this community, which had much resemblance to an inferior Russian *in»r,\u2019 was cultivated in \u2018runrig\u2019 or \u2018run-dale,\u2019 as their Irish cousins calls i the system of giving to each villager in turn annually the various arable patches of which the \u2018Bailie\u2019 or \u2018township\u2019 was composed.Beyond the arable land was the pasture or out-field, on which the cattle were driven in summer.The higher portions of the hills were lost to use, but the cattle throve ou the lower cLpes, and great was the fun and love-making in the milking season, when the people went to tend their herds, aud dwelt for the time in the greystone 'shielings by the side of the burns and the sheltering knolls of grass and heather.In winter the cattle fed during the Except for the alter- of Sir Kenneth Mackenzie, tho Duke ot Sutherland, Lord Macdonald, McLeod of McLeod and the Duke of Argyll was not nearly so largo as it now is.\u201cTowards 1780 the kalp trade, causing the collection of sea-weed for iodine, potash, «fcc., began to bring wealth, and with tho general in troduction of the potatoe an immense po pulation began to accumulate.In 1847 came the blight of that plant, and the migration and emigration of large num bers.It is altogether a mistake to believe the sensational storiei of wholesale and general eviction.There have in past times been some bad cases of heartless proceeding, but the Commissioners, who lately took all evidence with scarcely any sifting of the same, came across no cases of eviction carried out for the purpose of land clearance for sport ?They who have seen the emigrant\u2019s lot in Canada, and America and Australia know that, as a rule, tho emigrants who were assisted to remove were helped to wfnvTwas affluence in comparison with their»former lot.\u201d Lord Lorne next describes tho \u201cChief\u2019\u2019 system which prevailed many years ago in R the Highlands, but the Chief of tho Clan ; no longer wields the power he once did.1 >osal to take such a line in giving protection, >y payment on removal, to the crofter or cottar.Let us pay then that men paying between £10 ami £3() should bo able to claim a lease at a percentage below the market-price of the average of the previous five years of tho value of their stock and crop ; and further, that men paying less than £10 should, if evicted for any cause, be allowed to have their house (however bad) and their tillage (however poor) estimated at the value of their labour spent upon the place ; and further, that they should have payment in full for any stock, and sonic re-nition by payment of the loss to them of tlx ir habitation if they have been a certain tnnnher of yearn located within it.Such le-gihlution is just not only for the Highlander, but for all rural tcuants of the poorest class.In a country where the natural teadencies to it is for the advantage community to have a rural population attracted by favorable circumstances to the country.Where men paying less than £30 n-nt are found residing, it is no hardship to the more wealthy that if economical changes make the removal of the poorest a necessity, these should have some compensation for the danger they may run if uprooted, to be planted in what is perhaps a richer, but to them, at first, a less kindly soil.We nave protected the Miialiest incomes from the income-tax, and, although many economists would have the poor always pay in proportion, we must remember how difficult it is to estimate that proportion ; and where home and habits are broken op, money compensation may give everything in power to start afresh.Let us not be afraid then in doing what we can for the Highlanders to spread the benefit he may receive, and do not suppose, because Lord Napier has sometimes found something like the Russian \u2018mir\u2019 to exist with them, that this constitutes them privileged beings to whom such favour, if ex tended at all, can be extended alone.\u201cWherever landlords are willing to sell, 'the advantages offered to the Irish tenants should he offered to the tenant cnltivatcrs of Kugland and Scotland, in facilities provided by tho State for the eventual purchase of holdings, and for their enlargement.Some help to provide harbours, and boats, and fishing gear, might with advantage be offered by the Government, for the West Coast Fisheries have never been sufficiently used ; but nothing can be done by the State for the West Coast inhabitants which may not fairly be claimed for the benefit of all who may be similarly situated in other parts of the United Kingdom.\u201d BARGAIN > IM FURS.For the Holiday Season.FOR THE HOLIDAYS ONLY.G.R.REN FE E W & CO., INTENDING TO MAKE EXTENSIVE 1.alterations to their premise! after the

many years, were invariably defeated by the Players.In 1865 the tide began to turn.In that year the Gentlemen won at Lord\u2019s and lost at the Oval.In the following year the Gentlemen won at the Oval, and lost at Lord\u2019s.Then for many years the amateurs had all the best of it on both ground*.How much Mr.W.G.Grace contributed to this result a few short figures may be quoted to show.In 1868, in the match at Lord\u2019s, he made 134 not out.In 1869 he made 43 and 83 at the Oval ; in 1870 he made 109 and 11 at Lord\u2019s (on the occasion when the Players were defeated by 4 runs), and 6 and 215 at the Oval.In 1872 he made 77 and 112 at Lord\u2019s, and 117 at the Oval.In 1873 he made 163 at Lord\u2019s and 158 at the Oval (oddly enough after haviffe being caught off a \" no ball,\" and after having played a ball on to his wicket which did not dislodge the ball.) In 1874 he did not do much, but in 1875 he made 7 and 192 at Lord\u2019s.In 1876 he made 0 and 90 at the Oval, and 169 at Lord\u2019s.In 1878 he made 40 and 63 at the Oval, and 90 and 2 at Lord\u2019s.During the whole of this period his bowling and fielding were as effective as his batting.Indeed, without him the amateurs would have done badly, for he was assuredly a host in himself.Nor was his prowess confined to these matches.Between 1364 and 1877 inclusive, he played 352 innings in first-class matches, and averaged over 53 runs, and he bowled in 347 first-class innings, and averaged 3£ wickets per innings at a cost of 13 runs per wicket.His power over tho ball was marvellous.His great height gave him a reach of which he knew fully how to avail himself.His eye was olear and accurate, his strength great, and his knowledge of the game unrivalled.All bowling came alike to him.When other batsmen were puzzled by a new style of delivery, by a sudden change in tne condition of the ground, or by difficulties of wickets or of light, Mr.Grace used to treat all nircuriistanoes with the calm confidence of a master, and display to admiring eyes his superiority to all forms of opposition.There was in a word no sort of mistrust of the dictum that he was tbe best cricketer that had ever appeared, and much belief in the prophecy that very many years must pass before he would be equalled.The Allan ss \"Cartbagenian,\u201d Cept MacNicol, for Glasgow, via Halifax and St.John, Nfld, sailed from Boston at 6.15 a m on Saturday.The Allan sa \"Manitoba,\u201d Oapt.Carruthers, from Philadelphia, arrived at Glasgow on Saturday with loss of one out of her live stock shipment of 250 oxen.Pernambuco, Dec.19\u2014Sailed, bark \"Our Annie,\u201d of Quebec, for Fernandina and River Plate.Monte Video.Deo 17\u2014Sailed, brig \"Henrys,\u201d of Quebec, for Fernandina and River Plate.Brig \"St.Francois,\u201d of Quebec, has been chartered by her owners to Messrs.D.A J.Maguire, to load at Portland, for the River Plate.New York, Dec.27\u2014Capaiu Park, of the Boston ship \"Alert,\u201d which wai burned at sea on November 14, arrived to day from Para.He says tha \"Alert\" sailed from New York for Shanghai with 40,000 cases of oil and a crew of 18 persons, besides his wife and child.On the morning of November II lightning struck the fore royal mast, which was carried away.The shook felled the men to the deck ; smoke was soon seen coming from the forehatch and on lifting the hatch suffocatini' smoke arose.An explosion followed aud all hands were compelled to flee to the boats.At night a French steamer hove iu sight and rescued the entire party.Wrookod In a Snow-Storm.Messina Lemons, Only 20c.per Doz.For salo by \"W^A-TTIEIRS* December 20, 18*4.P.BRUNET.Grand Sale ol Jewellery, Watches, «fee.For Ohristmas and New Year at an immense sacrifice.In your own interests, call, see and profit by the cheap sale at P.BRUNET\u2019S, 191 St.Joseph Street, [St.Roch\u2019s.December 20, 1884.\tAm IS MARKED T.B- IN BRONZE LETTERS.NONE OTHER GENUINE.December 15,1884.m.wAfri-Lm-dAw R BEAUTEY, OF BOZEWDEJ-A-TTIX:, 51, Fabrique Street, Quebec, GENT FOR THE LEADING FRENCH A*\" and SPANISH Merchants exporting A CHRISTMAS HAMPER I TREiSUKE TROVE.IOR CHRISTMAS CHEER AND THE HORRIBLE aGFESRINdS OF A CREW parle island.F Trimming, of a Rich Plum Pudding WINE4, LIQUORS and alimentary products of all descriptions.Normandy Cream Cheese, Gruyere, Emmenthal, Roquefort, Romatours, Oammem-beits, Double Crram.Sardines, \"Pates Alimentaires\u201d of every des\u2019 cription.Coffees and Chocolates are specialties.Almond Sweetmeats, Toed Oheenuts and Orystalized Assorted Fruits, Cherry Preserves sans noyau.A.BEAUTEY, Sr.Correspondent at Bordeaux.December 13.1884.\tAm Escaping the Dangers of the Deep to Freeze to Death Upon a Barren Island\u2014Bat One Survives to Tell the Awtul Tale\u2014 Burial of the Dead.Would Yon Believe It, Nature\u2019s great remedy, Kidney-Wort, has cured many obstinate cases of piles.This moat distressing malady generally arises from constipation and a bad condition of tbe bowels Kidney Wort acts at tha same time ss a cath artic and healing tonic, removes the cau-ie, cures the disease and promotes a heal.by state of ths affected organs.James F.Moyer.Car riave Man\u2019fr, of Myerstown.Pa., testifies to the great healing powers of Kidney-Wort, having been cured by it ot a very bad case of piles which for years had refused to yield to any other remedy.Halifax, Dec.25\u2014The Dominion Government steamer \"Lansdowne\u201d returned from Sable Island to-night.She waa out in the great gales of Friday and Saturday, and Capt.Guildford says he never saw worse weather during his half-century\u2019s experience on this coast.He brings intelligence of the wreck of the brig \"A.S.H.,\u201d of St.Malo, France, Capt.Lo Marchand, owned by Omegere & Co., of St.Pierre, Miq., and bound from that place to Boston with fish.The vessel left St.Pierre December 16.The gales of the 17th, 18th and 19th drove the ship near Sable Island.The west-end light house of the Island waa lighted at 4 o\u2019clock on the afternoon of Friday the 19th.A heavy snow-storm prevailed and the wind was blowing a hurricane.A few minutes after land was made out the veswl was driven on a sand-bar with great violence and immediately began to break up.She bad a crew of seven men.The thermometer indicated 12 degrees below zero and the sufferings of the men had been terrible.They weie frost-bitten, cut, bruised, thoroughly disheartened, and death was a welcome relief.Three of the crew were washed over when tho ship struck, and although there was plenty of floating debris, made no efforts to save themselves and were drowned.The steward, preferring death to any further misery, ran to his berth, grabbed & razor, cut a terrible gash iu his throat reaching from oar to ear, jumped into the surf and disappeared.His body was found in the sand tho next day by coast-guard men.Capt.Le Marchand, his fiist mate and a sailor managed to get on a sand bank by a floating spar, but only escaiiod tha terrors of the deep to encounter the more frightful terrors of the King.They cou 1 faintly discern the nothing can excel Jamioson\u2019s Old Irish Whiskey, Guinness\u2019 Extra Stent, Old Scotch Highland Whiskey, Ginger Wine and Cordials.-CALL AT- JOSEPH ROOXTSHT, MEDICAL HALL NO.21, SAULT-AU-MATELOT ST.December 19.1884.\tJ THE GRMEST DISPÜÏ -TO BE SEEN IS AT- HEAD-QUARTERS -OF NEW- FRENCH AND ENGLISH Xmas & New Year Cards From «cts.to $5.00.\u2014ALSO\u2014 -The Largest Lino of- taiMi mistily Bools.FAM MOWS OF KVHIY DKSUUmOJ! __SUITED FOR- holiday gifts comprisi**0 F .F - F - FREE from Smoke.# FREE from Smell.'

cju;s'.i>r.In ihe meantime I Tenture to thick that wo do no violence to tne hiV.'wy of the most extraordinaiy people which sh wor d has cvers.icn, in aseerting that fh * T ::»ipl« * a» the concentration of their highest iiopv*, an^l th vt we search history in vain f >r the records of any nation whose corporate life is so intensely and yet so philosophically local as that of God's uhosen people.The woadertu! stru.-ture wnich grew in Godlike sifeice upon ihr s opes of Mount aloriah was no clumsy ed'fica of numan design, bnt a p^rminent levson in religion and morals intruded, as Masonic authorities assert, to empiarizi fundamental truths of universal uiiplicuti ci and reaching far beyond the period covered by th-r Temple histoiy.Tne pillirs strike us at one * in two particular usp.c'.s, namely stie igtii and beauty ; streng (» because we l«*ari) from the narrative that Hiram the wi low\u2019s son, evidently afol-l r.v« r ot Tub»l C*io, cist two pillars of brass of eighteen cumts high a piece and twelve cubits in circuinference.Beauty, because the pillars were ornamented by ntti of checker work, wreathes of chain work and the finishing on the top of all, was the lily work ; and thus we have combined qualities to wlu\u2018 h mankind yields a ready and not in-fi cqaently an irrational or obsequious homage.The meuntain strikes its majestic head into everlasting snows, or stretches itself beyond the clouds and keeps unwearied virgil in the realms of space, but all tne same, it cherishes the tiny flowers as its base and nurtures with constant watchfulness the multiform life si hich i Cities upon it.We infer, therefore, and I think not without some leaeon, that the pillars in the porch of the Temple are in exact cor-formity with certain principles clearly expressed in nature, and we go a step furthfT aud we say if the great Aichitect of the Universe translates his own methods to \u2022bsiiuctly as they appear iu the pillars witniu the porch of the Temple, it is certainly not toi much to claim that the abiding fabric of our higher life should le fashioned on the Dmre plan, and that in a building which must be subject to so many trials and exposed to so many storms noshing but approved materials shall bo employed, such as faith, sincerity, right-doing, honesty, self-denial and the many other qualities which go to make up aconstcrated manhood.For the structure that we rise Time is with materials Ailed ; Our to-days and ve»terdays, Are the blocks with which we build.Let us do our work as well, B >th the unseen and the seen ; Make the house where God may dwell, Beautitul, entire and clean.Build to-day then atrorg and ture With a Arm aud ample base, And ascending and secure Shall to-morrow Aad its place.Thus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain And one boundless reach of sky.mg in the reacticaory doctrines oi the one, and the conservative i tatioacy oi the other.But you will obstrve that this is not a contest in which Masonry can'engage, aud if the parties to the strtio call themselves Masons they are either deceiving thomselvc* or trying to deceive the public.A leading French psptr, the Journal dee Beimt*,- says that \u201cwhatwer msy have been the i bject of the Misonic Association in othvr times, it is certain that ia France at the present day Masonry tends more and more to break every connection with religion, and indeed with all spiritual doctrines.\u201d But then the Jotti'nnl curiously enough omits to say that French Masonry Las by this very action ceased to be Masonry ; aud in proof of this I have only to mention tne fact that our late highly eiteemçd Grand Master* Dr, Grehaqn, positively refused to es-tab'iih fraternal orresiiondencc, with France, Italy and B.-lgium, and our own Grand Lodge by formal rcsolurion declared that it would have no correspondence with the Grand Orient or any other so'calied Masonic body in Franco w hich would not, in its constitution and otherwise, declare its belief in Almighty God.To show yon that the ruling of onr late Grand Master was in strict harmony with Masonic principles, permit me to quote the language of the ancient charges.\u2022 The very first pas sage ruus thus ;\u2014\u201cÀ Mason is bound to obey the moral law ; and if he rightly understands the craft he will never be a stupid atheist or an irreligious libertine, nor act against conscience.\u201d It ia therefore manifest that no man who does not acknowledge, hia obligation to observe the moral law is admis sible to our society ; he may not feel bound to observe it merely because it is in the Decalogue\u2014a Mohommedan for example would not feel so bound* but he must acknowledge that the rule is binding oa bis coascieoce as being in some way or other the rule of right.It is equally clear that no atheist can be Mason, for as the moral law would not bind him he would notTulAl the very first requisite for admission.A belief m a Supreme God is one of our landmarks which , no regulations can confirm and with which no authority cad dispense.'* But it appears, \u2019 says Dr.John Fitz-Henry Townsend, Deputy Grand Master of Ireland, \u201c that the belief nqnired is not that of a Creator who, having made the universe and set it agoing as a workman might construct a piece of mechanism, then sits by unconcerned to let it rnn on, or run down ; the Mason must believe that there is a Moral Governor and Ruler of the oniverse, to whom we are respoasible, and who wilLpuuisb disobedience to the roles of conduct he has presented to os.\u201d And it necessarily follows that he, who would become a Mason, must believe in a future existence of rewards and punishments, depending upon men\u2019s conduct in the present life.Bnt on all other points men are left to their own opinions ; the spirit of toler* many other esse, but ipso* would not allow.A near friend of mine, who is very much addicted to eostivonegs, or constipation, finds that Mother Scigel\u2019s Tills are' the only pills which suit his complaint.All other pills cause a roantion which is very annoying.Mother Seigel\u2019s Pills do not leave a bad

present, who are not familiar with the principles of Masonry, that the moral structure aimeu at by the Masonic fraternity is precisely the high moral standard so warmly commended for our acceptance by the poet.It will possibly be said that Masons do not always reach their ideal standards, and that th>-ro are to be found those whise life U travesty of Masonic principles.My answer in sincere.Many so-ealltd Masons never reach any degree of perfection in the craft because they have never honestly tried.We keep the Lodge door shut in the face of such men as closely as possible, but they creep in notwithstanding our utmost vigilance, i\u2019nese men deck themselves in the lamb-akin apron\u2014the honored and ancient badge of a tiue Mason, but the wolf-ikia, »f such were to be bad, would be a more fittingsymbolum for the non-Mascnio qualities which they exhibit in public.We dj not, however, profeaa to make the Ethiopian chaege his akin, nor the Leopard his s^ots, Cut we do constantly affirm tnat the min who honestiy seeks to carry out the principles of the craft will prove himself a wise Master Builder, whose work will be\u2014 must be, pronounced square at all corners.A Mason w no rightly comprehends his position h is three great duties to perform\u2014first fo God, second to his neighbour, and third to himself, and tne masonio charge on these points is very explicit, and be
