He knows that Republiâ€" country has been acknowledged. The notion of separating from England has someâ€" uwmes originated in a colony, sometimes in England. »Whenever some tramie or politiâ€" eal change is made in EoglanJ, seeming to be disadvantageous to the colonist, then the colomist, if he be not a fossil or unchange, able tory, brawls lustly for independence. When in .

If the colonies are affected in their heary taxes, and spinning mills cease to work, the colonies are taunted with being the cause of the stagnation otf Manchester spinâ€"ing jennies, and consequent starvation ameng the working classes. Onething only is true, a workiog man fiees to a Britich colony for work aad bread to eat, and selâ€" dum goes back again to the parent state, as a permanent place of abode, even if 2s a colonist hbe skould havre acquired a fortune. He knows that in a coleny ,looked upon as a canism, as practiced in America, is only colonialism with another name, on & larger scale, and costing more for its governmental wmachinery. That and nothing more. The demagogue is only earnest for change. The man who has no business, who :s neither a merchant nor a physician, a barrister nor a farmer, and who is a politician by profession, to thefutter neglect of any other business, is constantly clamoring for change, when ont of power, and industriounsly busy in showing that there is no uecessity for any change when he is in power.

G, Patton, Esq., Deputy Postmaster of Quebec. 4 j Lpgric composition, of which religious poâ€" etry was probably the earliest form, has from the frst taken two different methods of exâ€" pression, the Psalm and the Hyma. The first is .peculiar to the East, is constrained by no formal metrical laws, and _ appears in _ the . compositions of David and the other Psalmists of the sacred canson, as well as in the Hymans of Simeon, Anva, and the Blessed Virginâ€"mother. This is the form of the bymns used at the present day in the Eastern Church ; of its use in the Western Church, the Te Deum is, we believe, a solitary instance, and tho rise of the unâ€" rbymed Notkerian sequences an exceptional manifestation. ‘ The western intellect loved order and law ; a methodized sysiem of metres and lust had been pourtrayed and emb~l!iâ€"hed. And as Milman rewarks, (Note to Gibbon History, vol. iii, p 248), writers like Clauaian avoided treating Christian topics in the old herameters and sapphics, a metre of clasâ€" sical origin, yet the least prominent in classi~ cal use, was selected by the intuition of 8t. Ambrose. It is in fact the eightâ€"syllabled line called in dissenting bym»y books, L M., or long metre, and is the same in St. Ambrose‘s bymans as in hl-bop Ken‘s. It is scanned by quantity, but the fnarked ictus of the iambic structure tended to introduce accent. This, which appears atiap determinating metrical principle in St.. Ambrose and Prudentius, takes the place of quantity in Venetius: Forâ€" tunatus, a century later. The Ambrosian hymns occuping this period, are the earliest form of Christian bymna writing in the west ; they comprise the originals of many of our chiet favourites ‘at the present day, and they mark the transition z'lod from classical to medizval Latin. yme does not appear as yet. The eightâ€" syllabled iambic line is far from being the most perfect metrical form among the clasâ€" sical metres, and we do not yet meet with the vraried richness of sound, the resonant melody and structural art of the thirteenthâ€" century rbymed bymos. "Ooly aiter a time,"As Archbishop Trench in his observaâ€" tions on St. Ambrose remarks, " do we learn to feel the grandeur of this unadourned metre, and the profound, though‘it may have been more intuitive than conscious, wisdom of the poet in choosing it. â€" It is as though building an altar to the living God, he would obâ€" search, and their adaptatiog to the pozular Beeds of our own day became folt. With these studies came the bringiog to light of the treasures of the rhy med Latin bymuns and sequences of the middle ages. It is not too much to say, that in the beginning of the present century, the existence of this treasure was unsuspected ; it is true that the Romance literature led a few to suspect that a new view of poctic beauty lay hidden in, the productions .of those centuries, which Mosheim solemaly sueers at _ and which Hallam dismisses with impatience as the darkest literary epoch in history ; and in Goeth«‘s great poem, the solemn strain of the Dies Irme breaks on the earthliet music of Faust as the bars of a Grâ€"gorian chant conâ€" trast with the opera singing of the F‘rophete. But it was the Church movement of our own day that made the value of the Hymn apparâ€" ent as a vehicle for religious teaching. Hymnâ€" ology bas been taken up by men of dcep scholarship, and has been the work for the Church in our time of many giftuc¢ trans!aâ€" tors and adapters, of whose labours the nuâ€" metous bymnals from " Hymuas Ancient and Modern," onwards are the valuable result. The original "poetic gift which enabled John Keble to create a new era in devotional poâ€" etry is rare, but the excitement of a revoluâ€" tionary time acts in itself as a kind of poetic inspiration, and the form of the Hymn beâ€" "IPg once understood by the study of the meâ€" diwval models, taste and power to adopt. it to our modern needs has not been wanting. " HBymns Ancient and Modern," which with its apperndix, is the Hymnal most gon rally used in Canada and in America, consists as we shall take occasion to show, of more than twoâ€"thirds transiations from the medi@zval Latin. It may therefore be of interest to the readers of the CAurchman‘s Megazine, to fur~ nish a sketch of the origin of those rhymed metrical compositions, as well as the authors of those most in popcl'n use through the me«~ dium of " Hymans ancient and Modern." Buch a system of metres Christianity found ready made to its use, when it adopted the Latin language as the expression 0 its spiriâ€" tual life among the nations of the west. But when in the fourth century the Latinâ€"speaking world bas become Christians we do not find that the writers of poems on Christian subâ€" jects took kindly to tbhe metrical form in which the lately dominant worship of blood serve the Levitical precept and rear it of unâ€" bhewn stone on which no tool had been lifted." With reference to Archbishop Trench‘s book (** Sacred Latin Postry,") we may remark the appreciative spirit with which some of the gems of medimval poetry are chosen, and still more, the charm with which the results of an acquaintance with mediazval literature only surpassed by that of Dr. Neale, are worked up in the introduction.. It is like reading one of Mazx Muller‘s marvelious popâ€" ularizsations of a difficult subject. Yet we cannot repress our regret. that some of the Anest poems should have been curtailed in deference to prejudices which are fast passing away, ¢. g. the prayer for the Faithfal in the last verss of the Die# Irm. In our selestions we shall confine ourselves, where possible, to bhymos not given by Archbishop Trench, supposing his book to be already in the hands of all interested in this subject. We therefore give as a specimen of St. Ambrose the following, which our readers will doubt~ less remember is quoted in a byon already in popular use by St. Augustine in the Con« at least ‘one interesting paper in itâ€"an " Introductory paper on Hymnology," by the Rev. C. Pelham Malvany, M. A., T. C. D , acting Chaplain to the Provincial Peuit nâ€" tiary, which is as follows : +« _ o. 1â€"tTaBs awvsrogiix uy uxs. The great advance in all that relates to the heartiness and beauty of the externals of worsLip, which it is the good fortune of our generation to witness, depends on tew thitogs more than on the increased use of metrical hymns. Among the Protestant s.ct# the production of hymas of any merit or vitality, bas been at a standstill since the days of Watt and Charley Wesley. With the carly generation of Tractarains, bymns were deeried as an unclean thing, proper to Cisenters ; in their churches "the anthem" was the flower and culmination of church song, and when an anthem was impossible, Tate and Brady Psaims were elécted as more in accordance with " the Rubric‘" than unauthorized metrical compositions. The use of bymns in place of anthems came with the larger and more democtratic development of the High Church revival ; it came when men Jlearved to interâ€" pret the rubrics, and what .shreads of ritual Auglicanism had preserved in a wider and less insular sense, as the uses of the preâ€"reforâ€" mation cburch were more a subject ot‘ reâ€" fessions ; it has been embodied by Bishop Ken, and made the heritage of thousands in English homes for many generations, in his evening bymo. ; Deus ctge::or omniam I wlique Rector Vestiens, ~\ _ Diew decoro lumine, Noctern soporis gratia.

I think it would be advisable for thb Warâ€" deh, or a deputation from the Council, to call upon the Minister of Justice, and consult with him. In all probability, 8ir John A.

Aurelius Clemens P:rudentins, was born about A. D. 348. After a long life of advenâ€" ture and usefuiness as a judge, and as a soldier in high command, he composed the ly:ic poems which rank him among the last of those who cultivated the Greek lyric poetry which the genius of Horace and Catullus had engrafted upon the amlien stem of Latin, Bâ€"ntly calls him the " Homer and Virgit of the Christians." His style is one otf a transi. tion period. The classic language, which had lor four centuries been fizxed and unruffied by a br: ze of fresh thought, (as Mg. Muller says of all classical or stationary lauguages), had become broken up under a new impulse. The Latin of Prudentius is a growing, as the modern critics call it, a corrupt language. Gr.

It was rumoured when Dr. Tapper left Pembina that a large party of Sioux Indians were marching to Fort. Garry, and that the half breeds had gone out to meet them. If this be true, it will doubtless be the com=â€" mencement of new and serious trouble, _ I met an English balfâ€"breed from Fort Garry, who complains of the way they were treated by Col. Dennis, He asked them goâ€" sign that they were willing to support the Government, and in the middle of their preâ€" parations to do so, he left them in the lurch, without even paying them their four shilâ€" lings due. _ â€" i e The Position of Affairsâ€"Apathy of the H.

They had entered Fort Garry urder guard, and would meet*Riel in council, then matters would be explained, and an attempt made to correct the misrepresentations under which the French have labored., Dr. Tupper thinks the company is acting in a â€"very apathetic way, and if they had made an effort to allay the .trouble, with the assistance of the English and Scotch, they might have secured the entry of Governor McDougall. Riel now signs himself Commanderâ€"inâ€" . Chief, and has about 350 men in arms. â€" English friends, who left Fort Garry on Bunday, réport they would all have taken arms for McDougali, if Col. Dennis had not left them during the night ; that the English and Scotch halfâ€"breeds all tavored the Govâ€" ernor‘s entrance, and when called upon, wers enrolled in different parishes, and awaited Col. Dennis‘ order ; that the stateâ€"men: is false that when the French list of rights came out they refused to assist Dennis ; that the latter was frightened ; and although the English and Scotch would have outnumbered the French three to one, Dennis neither gave them arms nor the pay of four shillings a day .
