Hence We may look for no change, at least no speedy change in the attitude which they now assume. Nothing can, or will be done without. the concurrence of New Brunswick, and in this Province the par- liamentary majority in favor of the preâ€" sent government,and consequently against confederation, is too large to leave room for hope of a change of policy before the next election.

This, at the present time is where the “ Shoe pinches.” I refer to the renting farmer, for with the land holder I have nothing to do.

The poetry of farming, like that of everything else, may, be beautifully if- lustruted. They may picture him out as a person surrounded by all the neees~ series of life and the beauties of nature. He feels the breezes and bleSSes them as they fan his fevered brow. ‘And as he sees the thirsty fields drinkin in the falling shower, thinks it no sin so see these in his own gain. Now all this nuy be very beautiful, but let any one fueinated by such ideas try it for a little while, and witnessh few of'the hardships that many have experienced the last five years, and I feel confident that there will be a remarkable change over the spirit of the dream. I Donbtlcss a separation in the natural cmrsc of things must come sometime; but the time is not yet, nor yet at hand. thile we desire to remain under the protection that has enriched us with so many civil and religious blessings, the whole force of the empire will be devoted to our protection. To imagine that the benefit is all on one side, would be to (lo ourselves manifest injustice.

According to announcement, Mr. Mc- Carroll delivered his famous lecture on “ TheHouse that Jack Built,” in Van Nostrand’s Hall on Friday evening last. The audience was small but highly in- telligent and appreciative. So seldom have We any literdry entertainments of this kind, that the community has fallen out of the habit of attending them. \Ve hope for an amendment in this respect. Local effort, in the way of establishing a Mechanics’ Institute, would do a greth deul towards cultivating public taste. Lectures delivered under the auspices of such anyInst-itution, would receive gener- ul' patronage, and afiord a series of pleas- ing. and instructive entertainments through the winter; Gan not “something be done”? See a notice in anomher co- lumn. \Ve hope the move will be sup- ported. With respect to the lecture it- self, we see no reason for the disappoint- ment we have heard expressed by a few. The character of the lecture was profesâ€" sedly 'Serio-Comicâ€"a blending of wit and criticismâ€"of the humorous, the musical, and the intellectual. It could not be expected to be an epitome of science, morals and history. It abound- ed in eloquent passages, in racy humor, in biting and well directed sarcasm, and displayed throughout a deep knowledge thumzm nature, and a powerful cour- mzmd of language. Its trivialities, like its music, were intended not to edif'y, but to amuse and relieve. I would then say, in behalf of those unfortunate individuals,â€"hnndreds who, with the advantage of a harvest rather better than several former ones, will only es‘czipe annihilation as it were by the skin of their teeth ;â€"â€"deal gently with themt and let not the false supposition close your heart against every better feeling, thinking that every cry is merely the na- tural voice of apeople Whose nature it is to grumble. .
