______________________________h BY J. J. MINTY. The recent incident of having a real live wolf roaming about and frighhten- i ng both old and young in the vicinit-y of North Toronto, brings vividly to niy mind an occurrence in which the writer was an active participant, and unwillingly 50. The age of two and twenty found me the teacher in a rural school section in \\the County of Victoria, at a distance of some five miles fromn the nearest vil- lage, to which place I was accustomed to resort, spending the interim from Friday to Sunday evenings. The fa- cilities for securing a daily paper and for attending church being so much in preference to killing tirrie talkîng about agricultural atfairs with Mr. Dickson, with whorn 1 boarded, or attending the ehurch at the corners., In the course of a few visits to town 1 was invited te and made up my mmnd to ioin one of the fraternal societies, and as 1 lîked the business manner in whrch tlhe meetings were conducted, I l)ecame a punctual and constant at- tendant.

MR. WU. ROSS, PORT PERRY, TAIES US A- CROSS THE OCEÂN.-CLBARLY DETAILBD INCIDENTS OF THE TRIP B! ON£ WIEO 18 OBSERVANT. At Balloch there was a train waiting te take us on to Glasgow, whicir is about an hour's ride. On tire way we passed tirrougir some fine farming country, but tire principal attraction was numerous iron and coal mines. These minerals seeni te be in greai abundance, and I thougiri surely it is ne wonder tirai they build ion sirips ai Glasgow fer they have tire coa! and iron ai iheir very doors. On nearing Glasgow tire railway passed alongside tire river Clyde for several miles, and we irad a goed view ef tire docks and large vessels lying iherein. As we pulled itirte Northr Bristol Railway station and alighted wýe were at once accosted by tire hotel runners. We chose one dressed in a scarlet colored ceai and were conducted to tire North Bristol iroiel which is connected with the railway. All thre railways over in thre Britisir Isles seem te be acquiring irotels at tire principal cities and stop ping places for travellers, and if one is in a irurry it is quite cenvenient. It was about five o'clock in tire after- noon wiren we started l'or a strol tirrougi tire city, but we were mucir surprised te find tirai Saturday afier- noons were irolidays and tire chief stores were closed. However, we got a tram car and irad a ride eut tire Great Western Road te tire Botanic Gardens. I must say that virile they are flot as extensive as Kew Gardens in London îhey are very fine. Tire buildings are modern and very neaîly arianged, and thre band wiîh its sweet music. tire moving crowd of people, and very fine display of flowers, made an heur pass away quickly. We walked back te oui irotel in order te get some idea of tire ciîy, and really from what we saw uhen, and afierwards, I was quite surprised. We were told in England tirai Glasgow was a poor place te visit, but we found very inucir te interesu. lu is a ciîy of nearly one million irait- ants and grewing. Within tire pasu tirirty years greai improvemenis have been affecued, narrew, overcrowded street.s have been pulled down and to- day Glasgow iras some as fine suree ts as one wishes te see in a large city. lu combines thre peculiarities of Liver- pool and Manchesuer in uts shipping and manufactures. Lu le probably thre largesi sirip-buîlding place in tire world, and history tells us that tire first steam- ship was built and launcired on thre Clyde au Glasgow. The city lu also noîed for lus manufactures of c6tton, prinus, silits, muslin, sugar and tobacco. hi excels, however, in lus iron wonks, and au night a weird picture le had of tire belching fiames that lsçue from tire large number of blast f urnaces in tire viinuy l aS in,,GLasgow;.that Jamùes Watt was bora, and lu le also thre place where.,heoso.sesfuUy7,9r t~ n he the application of team as a motive 110er-Tire cty dsteé ts eistence from thre year ý6qandSu Mûgo l thre reputed Icn4ier.W em ion corne of its buins stre tz i: Ar-, gyle, Buchanai4, Sanch! chll, St,.

Carefully scanning the ground, I could clearly make out the tracks of 'my 1"1Forester, " and even found the spot where he had risen on my appreach to give me warm greeting. Doubt no longer existed in my mind now as- te how near 1 had been to that bear and death, and with thankful heurt 1 joyfully retraced my steps te the farm. Supper over. and the household were preparing to retire, when wheels were heard approaching, and going to the door we saw Mr. Dickson standing at the side of a light waggon he had borrowed, while proudly he called out to us to bringa lantern to sce, and there, stretched and limp. in the wagon. lay three hundred pounds of bear, done te death by the faithful aim of the old hunter, and as he vainly endeavored te lift the lifeless mass, he said, "Mr. Teacher, dont you ever be afraid te run from the likes of that air, and more than that, when you have seen a bear tell about it at onst.

The municipal buildings occupy one side of St. George's square, which is very, large and thickly studded with statutes of memorable, Scotchmen, the central of which is Sir Walter Sceýt The laige post-office occupies an- other side, and near by lu the Royal Exchange. We shaîl always remember our visit to Glasgow cathedral. Lt was on Sun- day mnornhng and we found eur way up High street te the cathedral to, church. We were early and a notice asked 4 v isitors" te kindly wait in the im- mense vestibule until pewholders had taken their seats. The great bell cal- led thre people to churcir and there seemed te. be a neyer ending stream, of churcir geers. About five minutes be- fore the heur of service the bell stop- ped tolling, and then the grand organ pealed forth its sweetest strains which reverberated tirrougir the arches and te the remotest corners of the grand old place, By the trne we were allewed te enter and be seated there were hun- dreds of visiters waiting and we were fortunate in securinz a prominent seat. That was a very enjoyable service, vast crowd of reverent worshippers, the beautiful singing and music, the chant- ing ef Psalms by thre choir, thre read- ing of thre scriptures, the sermon from - -1 have kept the faith, " and tire pre- sence of "thre spirit" all combined te delight our ferveur. And we remember, tee, that in thre stormy centuries which are gene tire people wershipped in that very place, each armed with a dirk or dagger under his cloak for fear of enemies. The cathedral is 320 feet long, 70 feet wide and go feet high, and the îewer rises te a height of 220 feet. We were net privileged te see tire Crypt which contains tire tembs of many noted people. On ceming eut of the cathedral we noticed thre church- yard which is very level and is literally paved with grave stones, and there is a noticeable feature in tire entire ab- sence ef shrubs or trees. We, how- ever, entered the grounds, across the Bridge of Sigirs, which spans a little rivulet and climbed tire recky emin- ence which formns the Necrepolis. There ost censpicuolis of tiere onu- mnents is one te John Knox. It is ore- perly a column and towers away above the others and has inscriptions cut on the sides of thre base telling sorne of the histery ef -the great Reformer." The view from tire top of the rock lu beautiful. Which way you turn a dif- f erent landscape or picture presents it- self, and we were delighted te rest awhile and take in the lovely sights.
