W., on last Saturdnv, the 27th, two young lads were accidentally poisoned by eating a root which they suppOSed to be the wild parsnip.

To some they come only occasionally. to others they form a permanent sourse oi misery. and by all they are dreaded as an evil.

Opinion; RICHMOND HILL, FRIDAY, MAY 17. 1887'. symwwmw f “#233 sad in 9W, 1:,- V ‘ EN it seems strange that blue is associated in phrasoeology with melancholy. The colour of the vault of heaven, one would think to be anything but a companion for miserable feelings. The bluehtoo, belongs to truth and charity. as an emblem; but we titlppose the fact is that many talk analogically, without knowing it. Blue is the cold color, and the inhabitants of the north feel cold as an evil. just as those of the tropic: do heat. That is the temperature with which they have to combat for their own preservation, and thus it is that our poets have written of: “ cold grief“ and “cold despair.” and the color it cold-bitteâ€"hai been mixed up in our nhraseology with melancholy. it would be an in. teresting subject for the philologistt 10 invegtigale how far climate andl local position lorm the iodims of a race; but that is far too scientific a matter for us touch upon in such a paper as the present. it would be more in kt'tfplllg With our vein to tell our readers what they have often seen ; that the mendicant at night, hovering nearthe chemist’s window, shows his practical asso. ciation of blue and misery, by the care which he takes to stand in the. rays light“ iyhmass throth the gigantic olu?uout’e't'nere.

Evil spirits. indeed ! why, does not the drunkard, under the influence 0i them, make good resolves, which resolves are not broken till the "blues" have passed away! Does not the prodigal whom they visit. while they stay, repent of his follies, and resolve to be wiser tor the future! Do they ever bring temptations .with them. when temptation ispowerless while they reign? and do they not always come oftenest to the worstâ€"to those who have committed the most errowof. body or mind. to warn them of their wrongdoing?

A feweovereigns may be the a- mount of their wealth, but they do not depend on Wealth, and they do not depend on friends. They have something more valuable than rich- es and friends. They have some- thing that shall secure wealth and lriends; they have intelligence, in- dustry, frugality. strong arms and willing hearts to provide for them- selves in ajust way. They (teem it no small thing to leave their na- tive lands, and the friends they love. A feeling of sadness comes over them as they enter the vessel that is to carry them to a strange land and a strange people. When: an emigrant vesst-l sails from Eng- ‘ land,the teeling ofsndness is not con fined to those who are taking their last look, and their last farewell of their beloved country and beloved friends. England's highest and truest statesmen feel sad, and ex- press their regret. They regard the sailing of that vessel as a pub- lic loss. They know that industri- ous, frugal, and presevering men and ‘women, perfect treasures to any country. are in that vessel. The mostusoful in the land are in that Vessel.

Canada has been iustly regarded as a land of wheat and barley, a: V a land flowing with milk and honey. The inhabitants at Canada lhave been justly regarded as pos- : isessed ol great moral worth. The land of Canada, and the inhabis tants of Cd'nada have had a fair e fame. What will intending emi- ‘grants' in England. Ireland, and Scotland say, when it is told them that poor houses ate to be erected, ‘ and that farms of industry are to be purchased for the poor? Will tltey not ask, is Canada become a land of paupers7 Will they not ask, what change has come over that country, when industrious men and industrious women can no :.longer support themselves? 'Wbat desolation has come over it. that its government requires to interfere, and to compel the working man and woman to provide tor the poor? Will they not ask, is there no em- ployment, and are there no remu- nerativc wages for those who are l able and wilting to work? Will ' they not ask, are the poor so nus ’ merous, and is their distress so '1great, that private or voluntary charity cannot supply their wants 1 Will they not ask, is it a desirable place of residence where the in: ' dustrious and frugal who happen to make a little property are com? pelled to support in comfortable i circumstances the emravagant who ‘ spend their property, and the idle ' and indolent who make no proper: ‘ ty to spend? “'ill they not ask is ’ there no danger that the property ol the industrious and frugal mav dwindtc away. in ct Itsequence of one pauper after another demand- ing and receiving a portion of it as his lawful inheritance 7 Will they not ask, is it right that the idle and indolent who pay the merest pit- tanCe of tax should have a right to vote that a portion of the property of the industrious and frugal, should be appropriated for their use? Will they not conclude that ina country where the idle and wasteful have such inducements to depend on their industrious neigh- bour for support, and such means to obtatn support withomtworking for it; the burden on the industrious and frugal must be Will they not conctnle that every one wilq looks to the poor'house as a corn, fortable home to ltitnsell and to those dependent upon him will join, in the loud cryâ€"vote for the candis date who taxes the farmer to sup. port the poorl ln other words vote lor the candidate who taxes the in: dustrions and lrngal, to provide for the idle and the dissipated, who find it more pleasant to begthan to work. \Vill they not ask who am to be at the great expense of build- ing poor houses, paying the gover- nors, and other ofiictals, and neces, sary expenses! These and other questtops will be asked. We ad- tnit that heavy burdens are laid upon the industrious and frugal. We admit that the heavy taxes laid upon the farmer are already producing their native results. \‘Vt: admit that many of the sons of larmers, the flowers of the country. refuses to follow the occupation of a larmer. and go to iut‘elgn coung tries to seek their fortune. \Ve ad- tnit that nol'arrner now wishes to invest monev in land in conse: quence of the heavy taxation. and the certainty of increasing taxation, and 0; public burdens becoming heavier and heavier. We admit that great obstructions are put in the way oi the farmer's advance- ment. But iftherc are ppm laws, and if there are. to be poor rates, it is the fault ofthe fartrters. \Vhy did they elect such men to be ml.â€" ers. When they feel the burden to heavy, they may probably elect others to manage their affairs. For ourselves, we venture to maintain in opposition to members ofBatlia- iment,aud County Councillors, that tthat poor laws, and rates are 'ppt ‘tequtred in a country so new and so'tvealthy, and where there is no redundant population, and when: any one able willing and able to work readin finds employment and good wages. ,‘vVe venture alstt it) maintain that the Councillors of each Township can at very lilllp trouble to themselves, and at very little eXpense tpthe township, as, certain who those are who are pro: per objects of charttv. and gitte them help from loads at their dis- posai. We assure the emigrant ,that after coming to Canada, it is only for a tew years. he requires to act in the capacity of, a servant. and that in; a law years. he will be [in a position to require servants. {'l he farmer who apts his part pro- :perly, receives the treasures (ditty; ,vest.
