The Tollers and the Drones. In all well regulated beehives there are two classes of bees, the workers and tho drones, the duties and importance of the former aro easily understood but those of the latter arc less easily defined; it is well known however that the work- ors provide tho food and the drones eat it. Thoavorkers appear to bear the burden with considerable resig- nation, but the time comes from year to year when forbearance is no longer a virtue and the workers set about ridding themselvos ot the nuis ance by killing of the drones. The human hive is also divided into two great classes, tho workers and the drones, and it is not a little surpris- ing to witness the amount of for- Dbgarance exercised by the former towards the latter, whiloas in the beo hive the drones in the human hive portance their increasein the human may be of some mysterious im- hivo is out of all proportion, but the working humans do not retaliate as the bees do, they have no period- ical killing off. But no student of history, no obscrver of the times can suppose for a moment that the "human workers are at all satisfied with the prosent state of things. -- No! one glance along even the sur. face of society, not to speak of the under currents, will convince any one that a deep and permanent spirit of discontent and dissatisfac- the workers at drones tion reigns among which may break forth any moment unless the human very much alter their course.-- The gap between the workers and drones is becoming wider and deeper every day and tho workers very naturally chbafe at their treatment. The drones are clothed in purple and fine linen and fare sumptuously every day, while the utmost effort of the workers can scarcely sccure tho necessaries of life; the rich are richer and poorer; the wealth and the drones enjoy it; the becoming the poor workers make the toilers gather tho honey and the it, tho toilers make the robes for drones cat gorgeous the drones to wear and themselves go balf naked ; the toilers pay the taxes and the drones devour the proceeds, and when it is so that the toilers can noithor get raiment nor bread the drones tell them to keep quiet! hard timos the workers must curtail their already is the cause of 'it all, scanty supplies while the drones in- ercase their luxuries. At no pro- vious timo in tho world's history was there half the amount of gaioty, display, extravagance and supercil - ious insolence amongst the drones as at this time the world over; and it may be asserted with no less truth that the workers work harder --when they can get anything to do --and suffer moro than they ever did before. it with the tenant farmers and farm hands in Ireland; Tow is how is it with the tonant farmers farm hands, skilled and unskilled laborers in England and Scotland ? Was there ever a timo when there was more distress amongst the toil~ ing ones of these lands, while at no provious timo did the drones in theso lands think half so much of themselves or feast and fuddlo with half the zest they do now ; it is one round of pleasure with the drones - and a continual battle against star vation and misery with the workers. wus this state of things is not con- [ to Britain itis toa greater or {ess extent over christondom, and in soma lands to a still greater extont as 'far at Joast ag concerns the 5 "workors, "And what is the outcome of all this?

SMS---- 8chool Trustees. School Trustees will please re- momber that their power to levy and collect School rates mo longer exists, and that in fature all moneys for public school purposes must be levied and collected by the Council of the municipality as other taxes, are, and School T'rastecs must see to it 'that they male application in writing, to their municipal Council om or before the August meeting of said Council in each and every year. Should any Trustees neglect to mako such application thoy may be deprived 'of any school money for that year, they cannot lovy and collect it themselves and tho Council is not obliged to do it unless the application bas been placed before them at their August meeting. In case any section is deprived of any funds required in consequence of the neglect of the Trustoes, such Trustees will be personally liable and _the Teachor's. salary and all other legitimate expenses may be collected from them individually or or jointly. This change in the law will make no change with most School boards, for most of them have been in the habit of making application to the Councils for the money they wished to raise, so that in future thoy shall do exactly as they have done in the past, send in to the clerk of the municipality on or before the August meeting of the Council, a statement of the amount they require to raise for their school, So that the cbange 1m the law wlll make no change with them, they will only continue to do as they have done formerly. But those Trustees who have not handed in their amounts to the Council but have themselves levied and collected the moneys required for their schools can do so longer. The amended School Act prohibits all such col- lections ; go that trustees who have done so in the"past will please take rotico and govern themselves ac- cordingly. It would be well for all School boards to hold a meeting sometime in the month of July every year, thero and then determine the amount they shall require for school purposes and place tho statement in the hands of the clerk of the muni cipality on or before the Jast day of July. This ould secure overy- Thing, provent all mistakes and con. fusion, and once adopted it would be casily followed from year to year. Tho new law is already in force so that Trustees in the township of Brock will require to have the ap- plications in the bands of their clerk not latter than Saturday, August 2nd, as tho Council will meet on thatday. Trustees in the township of Cartwright should have their appli cations in tho hands of the clork not later than Monday, August 4th, as the Council will meet on that day. Trustees in 'the township of Reach should have their applications in the bands of the clork not later than Monday, August 18th, as the Coun- cil will mect on that day. ---- Intellectual Darkness. The Montreal Witress notwithstanding its very strongly markedGritty proclivities won't spoil a good story for friendship's sake. -- In referring to the late election held at Vercheres, Q, for a member of the local legislature, says three out of every four who recorded their votes at that election were unable to read and consequently could not mark their ballots without assistance from the deputy returning officers, Such an admission is most humiliating and shows a gtate of things demanding an immediate ramedy--three-fourthis of a Canadian con- stituency unmble io read and that in the year of grace 1879, is enough to bring the blush of shame fo every cheek in the Dominion. Since there is 80' large a propor- tion of the male adult inhabitants unable to read or wrife, how many of the females will there be in a similarly helpless condition ? and if that particular constituency be so buried in intellectual darknees, bow is it with other constituencics in the same Pro- vince ? The picture is a dark one, the cause of which should at once be sought and a remedy provided. What are free Institutions, the use of the frocise and all such to a people where only one here and there know -how to read? simply a burlesque, a dangerous weapon in unskill. fal bands, We do mot for 8 moment jn- of their liberal institutions but we do insist that the Government of that Province is enemics of free institutions and be disgrace= fully driven drom power. Tricky Govern- ments who want to take advantage of the ignorance of the people may make mouths at compulsory education and pretend that they don't like to interfere, but they all like well enough to make tax paying compul~ sory notwithstanding that the burdened ones are deprived of the means of self defence, are not in a position to know how they are governed. It is alike incumbent on parents, guardians | end rulers that every child in the land be | taught at least to read and write, and all ot | them should be punished if they neglect their duty in this respect, it is no matter of choice with either party, it is a matter of necessity and any neglect In that particular ought to be scverely punished. Parents dare not maim the bodies of their children, send them to the strects unclothed, or de- prive them of natural food, no more should they be allowed to deprive them of intellec- tual food, maim their intellects or send them into the world unprepared for the intelligent discharge of their duties as citizens. Dut from whatever source it may come some thing must be done to wipe the dark blot, the foul stain from the escutcheon of our fair dominion which prides itself and blows 80 much over its educational system, while there are whole constituencies if not pro- winees in' which not one in four of the adult population knows low to read, Shame!

A Mr. Chandler, Postmaster at Cowans. ville, was displaced at the beginning of the present month and almost the entire Grit press raised a universal howl over the dis~ missal of a flaming Grit office holder, pre- tending that Chandler was a Grit martyr whom the Ottawa Government was punish- ing for his political principles. It turns out however that Mr, Chandler like many of his stripo was not satisfied with ono office but must have two, so he secured another situa. tion still more desirable than the Post Office and farmed out the Post Office to another man, orin common parlance employed a sub. The Government being made aware of this fact communicated with Mr. Chand- ter, instructing bim to come back and per- sonally attend to the office, or send in his resignation to the Department.

The Directors are doing their best to make the coming show worthy of the in- telligence and enterprise of this favored section of cuuntry, but the success of this as of all similar shows depends to a great ex. tent on the efforts put forth by exhibitors and it is fondly to be hoped that a suitable eflort will be put forth to have a show worthy of the occasion, All acknowledge how much depends on the efforts of the ladies in securing the success ofour shows but the {adies of this locality pever require to be re~ minded of their duty in this respect for through their skill and activity our floral halls from time to time are made worthy centres of aftraction, the admiration of all who visit the hall, and it may be expected that tne coming show will even excel those of the past. -- Fire in Reach.--The Stretton Hofel and outbuildings were consumed by fire highly cupable in allowing such a state of things to exist, should+be held responsible and forced fo provide a remedy forthwith. -- on the morning of the 22nd inst.

The whole five it appears were after one man who they said, "had gone throngh" many of theBowmanville andOshawa merch- ants leaving all of them pogrer but wiser men The constables claimed that the delinquent had purchased largely in Bowmanville and Oshawa too,such articles as buggics, harness, stoves, furniture, jack screws, vices, &c., &e, quite extensively and that all purchases had been made under false pretences, the party pretending to own 100 acres of land, while the fact is he did not own a foot of land, -- The fraud became known ere the purchaser had left Bowmanville, but the pretender and his goods could not be found, Hearing that the fugitive had taken a temporary residence in Prince Albert the legal luminaries made their way thither and as we have already stated came pell mell into the town making the children stare at the unusual sight of five limbs of the law strutting through our streets. Finding the temporary residence of their man it was agreed amongst the five which two of them would take Lim to Bowmanville and how they would dispose of their prisoner generally so having their plans all laid they prepare their handenffs, examine their revolvers, brace themselves up and surround the premises. Two of them walk in to seize their prey and suroenough here he is but just as the fangs of the law made to get hold of him with one bound he went right througha window and left the whole five standing with their fingers in their mouths, they attempted to follow but what is the use of lumber wagons following an express, they soon lost sight of their man.

The Grangers of the County of Ontario bad a most interesting time in the piv-nic style in Mr, Rodger's beautiful grove north of Port Perry, on Thursday, 17th inst. The unexpectedly busy time in the hay fields tended to lessen the numbers present but even with this drawback the gathering was a most table one whether as to numbers, pass or bearing, After enjoying a dinner in the genuine pic-nic style the parties assembled round the stand to hear the addresses of those appointed to speak on the occasion. pied by the CI t Brass Band, the Revd's Young and Allin, the leading men of the Order and others. The Master of the Digision Grange, Mr, Foster, took the chair and introduced the intel- lectual part of the proceedings in a neat and appropriate address referring to the object of the present gathering, apologized for the absence of parties dipecially expected to deliver addresses, gives a brief history of the establishment and progress of the Order in Canada, referring to its first organization in Canada five years ago then weak in influ- ence and in numbers but the progress it has made since then proves the Order to be just what was The importance of farmers meeting together frdnigtime to time to discuss the various modes of farming, the proper selection of seeds ai 1 necessity for farming and the mutual advantage derived He does not 8 e why wanted. roots, the science in successful from such discussions. every farmer in the land should not identify himself with the Order so that they might all enjoy the benefit of that valuable educa+ tion to be had in all our Granges, Mr. Geo, E, Miller was the first called upon but apologized and gave way to ofhers.

The speaker now reverted in a pointed manner to the fact of so many of our young men leaving the farm aod seek. ing,city life and city pursuits, He regarded Grangers as public benefactors their tendency being to elevate the profession of farmer and create a love for the farm in thesminds of young men, Mr, Lick, master of Oshawa Grange, was the next speaker he referred to the gibject of education which had been referred to by the previous speakers and pointed out how the intercourse in the Grange tended to educate its several members by the course of intellectual and moral training received -- It is true that it requires time to thoroughly establish such principles as is desired by every true Granger, but satisfactory progress is being mude in that direction and it will 2o on until the order obtain that position in the country to which it is so justly entitled from its importance, its aimg and} its meme bers, There arc large numbers who from | entire ignorance of its principles make light of the Order, attribute unworthy motives to its members and not a few of our would-be leading men, aspirants to public positions who fearing least a public acknowledgement of the Order would render to come on a public platform amongst Grangers. The speaker now turned bis attention to agents, them 'unpopular, refuse and middle-men and gave them no quarter, The spesker paid a high compliment to the lady members of the Grange, their great use- fulness to the Order and {he salutary effects of their presence at the mectings of the Grange. Mr. Holden was the next speaker. He led the company back with him to the days of his boyhood and youth, the work he then accomplished in the farming line, his swing- ing the cradle day after day for wecks to- gether, he was not ashamed of work and he would advise the girls not to take for a husband any young man who is ashamed of work for if they do the time will soon come when such girls will be ashamed of their husbands. Refering to our system of educa. tion the speaker said that while the system was admitted on all hands to be good it was certainly too costly, it tried to accom- plish too much; a good public school educa- tion is all thatthe State should seck to accomplish and parents who wish to give their children anything higher should pay for it; be held that anyone getting a good public school cducation could then push himself further if he had the inclination and the talent for such. He hasno sympathy for those young men 'who will seek to avoid work, get dressed up with their plug bat, and black kids and dressed up go into our cities and towns and getting into business while they bad no capacity for: business, ! goon involve themselves and all connected | with them offering it may be a cont in the | dollar To payment of their debis, The ! speaker now a Za the late Horace Greeley, went on to tell what he knew" of farming, going into 'the theory and practige of scien - tific farming. He said there was one thing he disliked amongst the Grangers that was their co-operative system in providing their supplies by that system, this, be believes will act injuriously on the Order and if it were not for this he would become 8 member at once. Mr. Hilborn, Master of the Dominion Grange, was the next to address us, Being | thoroughly acquainted with the working, ! principles and aim of the Order he gave a long and interesting address but which want of space prevents us giving. Tho speaker wound up an excellent address by reading the constitation of the Order which fully met the approbation of all, ' The stand was! Rev. Mr. Allin was the last speaker and spoke earnestly dwelling principally on the moral and religious aspects of the Order and wishing them the greatest success, still ad- vancing in all that is noble and enobling.
