SOLITUC/f..
Man is so const itnted by nature
that it is, necessary for him to lmve
Bensons of solitude, in which to re
flect and meditate, seasons in which
lie can oomnmue with his own heart,
and hold sweet converse with his own
thoughts.
Men need often thus to retire with
in themselves; shut to the door, and
consider the varied anil numerous
subjects of life, und solve the mai y
problems which arise in their path-
ray.
“Midnight is often the noon of
f thought,” «o meditation is tho
moment of strength and power.
Then the mind fortities it ell with
truth; entrenches itself in its convic
tions, and neeemhleB a host of
thoughts to its aid. The creative
energy is active in storing the mind
with material, the combining and
uniting power marshals into compa
nies anil battalions kindred ideas.
The analysing faculty looks deeply
for the germs of thought and the se
crets of the hidden.
In short, the whole mind with all
its energies is in full and powerful
action.
We claim that this solitude is not
only advantageous but absolutely is-
sential, in order to fullil the rch
promise of our manhood and achieve
the grand purpose of God in our cre
ation.
We do not in th is oppose the free
and legitimate working of the social
principle. Indeed, . we hold that
man can only reap tho full benefit
of society by the means of solitude.
A. nmn must needs often entertain
himself, if he would profitably enter
tain others. Men fritter away their
minds who are much in society und
and s«ldom indulge in reflection.
Their thoughts are merely surfuev
thoughts, their mind like a shot gun,
scatters its shot, which is effective
only at short range and for •mall
game. This mind is wasting itself
in words. It is exhausting itself.
The ability to think deeply and for
cibly is being lost. Its trafllc in
thought resembles the retail mer
chant; his stock is small, consequent
ly Ins sales are small, and he must
turn over his stock frequently to keep
up business. There is no appear-
anoe of reserve power about such a
man. Healthy, wholesome thinking
has well nigh ceused. A mental dis
ease ruinous in its results has taken
hold’of him.
Solitude io tho boot wnoilicine for
tho loquacious person. Rost the
tongue awhile and think.
Flippancy at best ie but a depre
ciated currency. Solid thought is
the gold whose influence is felt in
the commerce of minds. We do not
condemn the Hiuall talk of life. Rut
the exclusive indulgence in it, prac
ticed by many persons.
They have often a set of words
which constant use has rendered
threadbare.
All their freshness nnd power has
long since departed* the good spirit
which once animated them basiled.
They have \vini a pathway across
I the stag** o| un-jell hy their much
acting m public. They have some
grace, but no enthusiasm. These
persons, err if they think society de
mands only the pleasantries they dis
pense. Society demands intellectual
food as well us pastry. And lie mis
understands the nature of the mind
who thinks it-cannot enjoy the Rub-
stantiuls as well as the confectiona
ries of thought Men of culture do
not talk themselves out about the
weather, the last marriage or similar;
frivolities. They find genuine pleas
ure in the consideration of impor
tant and valuable subjects, upon
Which they have reflected. These
men are the benefactors o( their race,
und exercise a controling influence
oyer others. They are emphatically
the leaders of public opinion. Thus
men arc known by their thoughts.
An individuals ideas express his char
acter. Aud lie only, who thinks
much and often, can possess a strong,
vigorous individuality.
Now, to think requires time, and
solitude affords the best opportunity
for thinking. Hence it becomes the
duty of all, who desire the best gift
f life, a mind stored with well di
gested knowledge and the ability to
use it, to indulge in solitary reflec
Experience all tho while will hr

Charles Lamb's Warning.
Lamb tells him said ri
ng men,
peri nee, ns a warning t-
in the following langHuge:
“The waters have gone over me;
but. out of the black dept; s, could I
he heard, I would cry out to all those
who have set a fool in the perilous
flood. Could the youth, to whom
the flavor of the first wine is delicious
as the opening scenes of life, or the
entering upon somo newly discover
ed paradise, look into my desolation
and he made to understand what a
dreary tiling it is—when he shall feel
himself going down a precipice with
open eyes and a passive will; to see
Ins distraction andhave no power to
stop it, and yet feel it all the way
emanting from himseif; to see all
godliness emptied out of him, and yet
not he able to forget a time when it.
was otherwise, to hear about tho pit
eons spectacle of his own ruin could
; hf see my levered eye—feverish with
last nightVdrinking, aud feverishly
looking for to-night’s repetition of
the lolly; could he but feel the body
of the death out of which I cry hour
ly with feeble outcry to he delivered,
it were enough to make him dash the
sparkling beverage to the earth, in
all the pride of its muntling tenilu*
tion.”
A Romanco in Real Life.
About the year 1830 there lived in
the village of Ellon, near Aberdeen,
Scotland, a young shnetnuker doing
a prosperous business. He married
and during the first four years a son
and daughter were born.*
About the end of those four years,
for somo canto unknown, tho hus
band and wife mutually agreed to
separate, the father to take the son
and the mother the daughter.
The next year the daughter died,
lu the meantime th« father and son
flailed for America and settled in
Canada, the father working at vari
ous occiipiui <n6, afoircii instance* ml*
milted.
About the year 1S50 lie received
word fr*>m Scotland tlmt his wife
had died. From this time all cor
respondence with friends in Scotland,
which had been previously kept up,
ceased.
The sou having grown to manhood
with the impression that his mother
Imd dual when he was about one-anil
a*lmlf years old, entered the profes
sion of school teacher in the neigh
borhood of Toronto, where about the
year 1800, he married.
The father, believing that his for
mer partner in life had been dead
about eleven years, and since the son
had married, he felt lonesome and
took unto himself a second wife.
The son, after teaching about ten
veals left the profession on account
of ill-health, for more active duties, :
and finally located himself in Essex. I
The father and step-mother still lived '
in Toronto.
In the summer of 1877 the f. thor
came to make his son a visit in Es
sex, and died suddenly of iuflumnm- !
tion at his sou’s residence.
After the f.'.thor’a death the son, I
anxious to find out about the exist-;
once of a brother of his father’s whom ;
he Imd reason to believe was still'
alive in Europe, instituted an ex ten-1
sivc and thorough correspondence '
with various parties in Scotland, aud
strange to say, he found that his own I
mother was still alive, and leading
a retired life in Scotland.
The son is now making all the |
necessary arrangements for bringing j
his aged mother to Essex.

WhereRoligion Failed In The Hour
of Reed.
At night old Gumbo was accus
tomed to retire to his lonely cabin, to
light Ins tallow candle and pore over
a dog-eared, dilapidated Bible, and
as he read, lie would at brief inter
vals pause and devoutly exclaim
with tearful, upraised eyes: “Oh! cum
de good angel oh do Lor’ an’ take
poor Gumbo home to roat.” It hap
pened on a dark night, when hy the
light ol his tallow dip, he was intent
ly studying his Bible, there come
e solumn, measured raps on the
cabin door. Gumbo heard und grew
pale with fear, and immediately, with
u spasmodic jerk, blew out the light
and demanded to know; “Who am
dat ar knockin’ at die ’ere deor?”
when a dismal, sepulchial voice an
swered: “The good angle of the
Lord has come to take poor Gumbo
up to rest.” When trembly, with
perstitious fear, believing tlmt the
good angel of the Lord was really
standing at tho door, he answers:
“I kuo’s dat nigguh Gumbo, hut dat
ah nigguh don’t lib heuh! Why, dat
ar Gumbo am jes dun gone ded dese
fo’years! Yes, beam! He jus dun
gone ded dese fo’ years!”
Those Who Live in Glass
Houses, etc.—The proverb, “Those
who live in glass houses should not.
throw stones,” dates back to the un
ion of England and Scotland, at
which time London was inundated
with Scotchmen. This did not
please the Duke of Rockingham, who
organized a movement against them,
and parties formed, who went about
nightly to break their windows. In
retaliation, a party of Scotchmen
smashed the windows of the Duke’s
mansion, which stood in St. Martin’s
Fields, and had so many wiudows
that it went, hy the name of the Glass
House. Tfle Duke appealed to the
King, who replied: “Steenie, Steenie,
thc&e who live in glass houses should
bp-careful’now they fling stones.”—

The Superb Crop of 1877.
There ought to he golden figures
in which to writedown the records
of the superb crop of 1877. It foot*
up the wonderful total of 326,0(10,
000 bushels of wheat and 1,280,000,
000 of corn, lu 1808 the figures were
221,030,000 and 000,628,000 bushels
respectively, and last year they were
280,000,000 und 1,000,000,000. ’I’lie
exports for thu year ending Decem
ber were, us celimated. 51,000,000
bushels ot wheat and 06,000,0000 of
corn, lmt to this last item ought to
to be added that which goes abroad

exportations of hogs reaching 4,0t>0,

New wheat is rapidly coming on from
the West During thr. four weeks
ending October 0th, the rrci ipts of

were 13,009,375 bushels against 7,

a similar inenuse. All this prom
ises a golden future loro ur people.
England's in mease of importations
for the year just closed, was nearly
as large her average of importations
during I he last decade. Out of h to
tal of 80,000,000 received from for

It is a curfotiug to note that there
has been a grain at the port of New
