"A respected friend, a that the person who had managed the stage line between Niagara and Detroit told him that the average number of passengers con- veyed in'a whole twelvemonth, used to vary other evening--and the railway is not yet sands that tumble down now and then--all which, however, will soon be rectified--it so happened that there was an accident. 'The engine took it into its head to run off the line, but happily it was noticed in time to prevent 'the passenger cars from being overturned. fo this train there were between six and se- ven hundred passengers, and while they were detained another train came up with three hundred more.--The train from the east next came up with 600 passengers, so that it really happened that at that station, in the that evening, hot fewer than 1,500 passengers, nearly as many as used to be conveyed by the stage in..a whole twelvemonth. 'Lhat was In One day, and tlat not in the travelling season of the year. By and by, you will have floods of travellers across the Niagara Falls to see what is going on in Canada. igut this shows what you have to expect irom the railway, and you can see, already, that short as the time has been since the railway fir.t passed th oash certaia regions %t has awakened anew spirit of enterprise a- mong the Canadians. In travelling along through the forest, you see new log-houses erected and trees beginning to be felled, in- dicaling that the moment. the railway was opened the spirit of enterprise took a spring iorward. | believe that within a short space of time ihe whole of the track opened up by that ralway will be turned into a» thorough- y cuitivated a garden as will be tound in the whole world. And westward you must push until you reach the 'acific Ocean, and we shall be pushing eastward until the extremes mee!, and sometime or other, we shall be shaking hands. Ifsuch be the material pros- perity of Canada, need I remind you, dear friends and brethren, that there is an abso- lute necessity for being more rigid in paying attention to the intellectual and the spiritual, lest the material may make progress, but in advancing, leave the other two behind. It so, material prosperity, instead of being a bessing wiil prove a curse. Let us thank God that much ts doing already in this res- pect, as I have witnessed in this city in the way of schools and colleves, and that there is @ preparation for doing a still greater work also, Into the details of which I need not en- ter. Qh, then, let progress be made more and more in these directions and depart- ments; so that, whatever material prosperity there may be, under the gracious Providence of God, there may be corresponding progress in the intellectuel and the spiritual; and then the material prosperity will be tempered and regulated and directed by that which is hich and noble and spivituil and divine. It is in the conjunetion of the two fully realised, that we shail see the perfection of humanity-- that we shill see a renovated earth. You have, then, before you great and bound!ess prospects. Oh, that God may rend His hea- vens and come down, and cause His Divine Spirit to shed 'His blessed influences more and more into the souls of the people, that it may not be found of this people, that while they are getling fat (so to speak) on. the things of the earth, they are gettino' lean as to the things of heaven; for that heaven wiil end not only in languishment, but in death. WOMEN OF CONSTANTINOPLE. Bayley St. Jobn, in his "Turks in Eu- rope," gives the following account of the amusements of the women of Constantino- ple: Nearly all Turkish women sally out every Hriday to take the air, away from the town, on the b:nks of the Bosphorus, or, to some of the places where water and shade may be found. 'Che wealthy go in' carts without springs, of wmwieldly and primitive construction--asix or seven heaped together ; and sometimes their husbands lead the oxen or horses to the chosen spot, and then go away, leaving the women perfectly free to enjoy themseives as they please. 'ihe most popular asiusements are the singing and mu- sic of the gipsey women, who repair thither for the purpose--mdsie which is amourously languid, and singing which is detestably in- decent. A lunch is generally brouzht out, and when this is despatched, smoking and drinking ~commence--drinking, not of sher- bert, but of good brandy, and other strong liquors, whieh soon induce a- boisterous gay- ety, so that the sultanas, whom we often im- agine as pining away imprisoned, may be seen rolling in convulsions of inextinguish- abie laughter-on the turf, or huddled up in a still more advanced 'stage of intoxication, lixe a bundle of rags. 'Lheir Montenegrin servants, who are the privileged beholders of these scenes, are often compelled to haul them into their carts, in which they are jolt- ed back to the harem. 'Lhose who are not too far gone, frequently pull up in passing through the Christian quarter, at the doors 0: taverns, to get more drink; and a file of a hundred carts may often be seen stopping in one street, and full of women, some made tod and chattering by their excess, and ctuers hanging sleepily about and murmuring to be taken home. 'ihere is a walk planted with elin trees, not far from the city, where only women are admitted. 'wo or three thousand assemble there at a time, and, sit- ling upon a verdant slope, enjoy the panto- mime of a comedy, which some infamous Jews, hired for the purpose, perform on the limits of the'forbidden ground for their amusement. On these occasions, it would scarcely be pos- sible for a stranger to recognize eastern life trom the descriptions he is accustomed to read. 'Lhe tree conduct of the women has more than once attracted the attention of. the government, which not very long ago published an edict, complaining that they re- mained out late atnight ; that they rode forth in. coaches with young Christian drivers ; that they ventured into shops, especially those of apothecaries; and even pushed their audacity so far as to eat ices in the Frankish coflee- 'houses of Galata and Pera. The' edict ac- cordingly recommended that early hours should be kept, and forbade. women to enter shops of any. kind, or to be driven about by young coachmen. 'These interferences with manners which were supposed to be great advantages in civilization, and which seem strangely accompanied by proclamations giv- ing. periaission tor. women te appear on the public promenades, were of oourse ineflectual. bwhat: this railway which has. been opened. ti "| westward from Niagara to Detroit, is likely quite completed, there being still some quick- | neighbourhood of Paris, there were congre-/ gated ut one and the same moment of time]. Snes 'Te wil requize ns. v thing else besi repressive measures to bri over, have the temporary character of pro- clamations. 'They are applied for a day and forgotten. It is forbidden, for example, most expressly, for shopmen to have any other than old men for servants; and they almost without exception have spruce dashing young attendants. oe eh OS ad The Harth is full of Sunshine. ee The earth is full of sunshine, When the heart is full of glee, For the light within our spirit - Shines on everytning we see: Then it linds the smallest trifles For its happiness suffice, And pleasure iu the simplest thing As in the thing of price. There is sunshine in the flowers, In the shadowy forest trees-- There is sunshine in the rippling brook That whispers with the breeze; Tt looks on us from every face, The homely and the fair; And the happier the spirit feels, The more it seeks to share, Adovely thing is sunshine. And gladdens. where it falls ; And more beautiful the sunny heart That all things blessed? calls-- That is always seeing something For which to render praise: A spirit full of thankfulness In all its works and ways. That can pass along earth's pilgrimage, And not think all untrue, To whom earth's hope seems not a shade, (Alas! they are but f-w)-- And the bitters leave for others, ixtracting but the sweet: For such hearts make their own happiness From everything they meet. And they who thus unrufiled Glide'down the stream of tife, With a spirit that elastic springs From all their care and strife, Havea well of joy within them That not lightly will, depart, Por they bear about their Paradise, A kind and joyous heart. And are not such more happy, And more likely to be right, Than they who would persuade us earth Hath nought for us but night? For [say--and 'tis a doctrine That many will receive-- There is hope for every one on earth, Tf they only will believe !--M. L. Mcrray. MODERN. EFFEMINACY. After all, deny it who may, we are oyver- reaching in our habits: we run too much te mind and mental exertion, and too little tc museie and muscular exercise; we become too much, far. too much, the. slaves: of ar elaborate civilization----of a subdivision in the labour of social intercourse; too much' de- pendent on each other--too little dependent on ourselves. <A statistical return of thc number of persons in the higher classes o- life, who have ever seen the sun rise for a week together, or who are fit for anything before breakfast, would be a warning and i caution to us all. How very bold the pre- sent generation is--how little we ourselve: observe--how much we take for granted the observations and conclusions of others--how much the imagination is worked at the ex- pense of the judgment--how much we asso- ciate with those who think like ourselyes-- how little with those who think otherwise ; and what an affinity of trash and prejudice is talked, and written, and thought, and acted on, that a little brisk travelling in a practical country would go far to strangle in its birth! W here is the parent among us who would not compound for the sweep of the grassy prai- rie, with all its possible risks and all its cer- tain. benefits, against the card and the billiard table--those green and fatal levels 'with all their paltry aims, and all their corrupting atmosphere? Who is there that does not turn with something like contempt from some young gentleman who smells of bread and butter and pachoull, stars about through all the insipid pleasures of a London season, and retires for the autumn to shoot in shiny boots for a bow-and-arrow-breast-pin, among the white-gloved toxophilities of St. Leonord's- upon-isea, to a man who has faced--un- necessarily it may be, but still has faced-- a erisly bear, in all the terrors. of his five- inch claws, with nothing between his personal security and an unpublished work but a charge of ball and powder and decent nerve to back it. We do not, for a moment, wish to commend all the world to hunt in the far West ; nor do we despair of the man whose means do not enable him to choose' his way of life. We only hint that, even under diffi- culties--in a position of life far removed from independence, compelled by stern fate to a sedentary and studious existence--he may still spend his intervals of labour ina manner calculated to open the mind. and strengthen the body; and whether he be born to mete tape by the yard, or to the en- Joyment of ten thousanda year, he may. still open his eyes to the big world that is stirring about him, and endeavour, as far as in him lies, to acquire, not x. proficiency in accom- plishments whose end is but the accomplish- inents themselyes--not the mastery of ac- quirements whose main merit it is that they keep the mind free from depravity and idleness --but rather a knowledge of mankind and' of himself--the unfettered use of all the better functions of mind and body, the head to con- ceive, the heart to resolve, and the hand to execute every good thing. the wealthy among us live! The one large meal, the business and the pleasures of life so needlessly carried out in the small hours--the drowsy lengthened sleep--the dawdling break- fast unenyoyed, or only got down by the free use of the whip and the spur of the palate-- the eschalot and the peperbox, or the homoco- pathic treatment of the devilled kidneys ; for those whom over-indulgence shall have left not untouched in this particular--the constant tonic, the inevitable bitter, that in the tea, the coffee, the sherry, the pale ale, of every- day existence, literally prevades the cup of life: the blessed dawn unenjoyed, the morning sauntered through, the reckless misuse, or worse than that---the non-use--of the best and noblest faculties. Overdrawn, declama- tory as all this seems--inapplicable as it is to the better and. the worthier--who can deny that, with the wisest and the best, there is much margin lelt for the improvement of mind and body, and their practicable applica- tion to the great duties of lify-- Church. of Lingland Quarterly. ~ TEMPORARY PARLIAMENT bLiouse.aT QuEBEC.-- Itisstated by Le Canadien that the Goverument has rented the Elospital of the Sisters of Charity at £1000 per annum, tor a temporary Parliament clouse.
