the events of fifty or more years .go with th vecurreu- ces of the present time, as reported in the newsnapers of the different periods, the progress that balf a century has witnessed in the affairs ct this Province is easily observable. Then the mails, in the winter time, Came Sem-occasionally, when a bold courer managed with a sailboat to make bie way to Pictou, or indi viduals occasion- al'y made the passage by the Capes. There was po railway, there were no steamboats. The question of tweaty-four hours from Montreal and Bostog never disturbed the miuds of men in those days. Railway time-tables, as considered in their lovay application, vexed notthe sonis of the wiee men of the east, or the otherwise men of the west. JKailway men bed po night work then, nop any Other kicd of work, The Post Office Depgy!ment was not, ae pow, overworked! — a

There is little need of making compar! sons Ofthings. The extracts which I will give your readers will show the changes that have taken place in this Island during the past two generations,

About the year 1843 somebody muat have wanted a penny paper for oa Sept.

6th of that year the Morning News was established in Charlotte town, to fulfil, according to its

prospectus, the need that existed for its establishment. It wasto be sold at one penny each copy and to subscribers at ten shillings per annum. It was to be devoted to colonial and foreign news—and to be n-utral in politics. Fancy!a Prince Ed- ward Island newspaper neutral.

The Morning News was published twice- a-week and its local and other items, although not classified in that manner, contain seme interesting paragraphs, It is éurious to learn that the P. E. Island hen nad the welfare of the country at heart- Under the heading “Henology” it is record . ed that a hen belorging to Mr. Priestley Newton, of Greenfield hatched twenty-six chickens in one brood. As the “cullud man” was scarce in that section it is to be presumed that this interesting brood grew up uotil they were old enough to come to market as pring chickens,

it may be aesumed that spring chickens

would be in demand; for there must have been some gay high-livers on the Island ai that time. Probably Mr. Prieetley’s was endeavoring to etupply the demand judging by en announcement in the same paper of the rale at auction by S. DesBrisay & Co of—

20,000 Prime Havana Cigars,

10 Kegs Lemon Crackers.

44 dozen Champagne etc, etc.

Here alec is mention made of the fact that st a meeting of the Repeal Association held in Dublin, Daniel Breunan of Char~ lottetown was proposed as a member, he having sent forward a subecription. This proposal was seconded by nore other than Mr. O’Connel! who spoke of Mr. Brennan asan example for Irishmen at home and abroad.

Notice is given that the mails are made up for Pictou every Saturday—Georgetown ard Bedeque had amail twice a week.

Qnve week the editor testifiel that he had tried Mott’s Cocoa Paste, to be obtained froomMr. W. RK. Watson, Deuggist. Now, according to James Epps, cocoa is beyond al! things grateful and comforting, j

but these pleasant sensations were, produced by different means io the case of a correspondent who

in the same issneof the paper wrote “I have just learned with much satisfaction that the use of @ hearse has been intro- duced in the town.” Gne can imagine this correspondent to have beeu a dandy of the old school, the sum of whore desire was to live like a gentlemen, die like a gentle- man, and be buried like a geutleman.

There were no lighthouses on the Ieland at that time,so we learn. As regards intellectual enlightment there were five newspapers in Charlotietowa—each hay-~ jpg the largest circulation, of course~-one stating it at four hundred wopiesin the town withouy mentioning what were sold

Tight-lacing, that unchanging fashion, provoked criticism in one of the issues of the old paper. The News states that a learned Doctor hast given his opinion that jt is a public benefit because it kills the foolish girls and ieaves the wise ones (o grow into women.”

Capt. Hubbard, of the new fast-salling ard anbstantial boat Charles, 26 feet keel, plied between Charlottetown and Farm every Wednesday and Saturday. The Charles was also placed at the disposal of persons for hire. This was in 1843, fifty-five years ago, and now the Boodler and her sister ships plough the waters; —and, besides plying hither and thither for the public,—theee latter have been occasionally, like the r predecessor, placed at the disposal of friends of the Government, |

An advertisement that attracta the eye | and tickles the risibilities is for ‘“‘a light red cow 2 years old, she bad a half-tail and strayed from Charlottetown.” Probably she went off ambitious to seek the balance of her caudal appeadage, so that like little Bo-peep’s sheep she could come home wagging her tai] behind. Her quest must have been a long one, for two monthe later the ad. was till in the paper. Perhaps the largest circulation boasted of in a foregoing paragraph was not equal the discovery of Nowadays printers ink judiciously applied ie found to pro- duee quicker returns,

An eminent person who was Iunching recently with Mr. Gladstone asked tite latter what was the greatest danger threatening Great Britain? Was it France.

A special despatch from Paris says thiat the continuance of heavy rains on the Spanish frontier has done much ddmege. Tre low-lying viliages have been evac- uated acd relief parties are rescuing the householdersin boats. Many houses have been destroyed and « large number of cattle have been drowned; but, ‘there has been no lossof life among the inhabitants.

The details of the Behring sealing award bave been made public. The only claims entirely thrown out were those for costs in the “Sayard’ case and the claim for damages made by the owners of the *Wanderer, The latter claim was an unusualone. The ‘Wanderer’ was not ordered out of Behring Sea, but lost a season throujzh her Indians who, having heard of President Cleveland’s proclamation prohibiting sealing, refused to continue work. The arbitrators Have allowed dameges in cases where sealers had been prevented completing a season’s hunting, for which they had outiitted. The main award is made up as foliowse: Personal claime, $264,188; :otereet, $149,.

Centuries ago, people used to fear what they called the plague. “Black death” was the most terrible thing in the world to them. They feared it as people now fear the Cholera and Yellow Fever. And yet there is a thing that causes more misery and more deaths than any ofthese. It is socommon that nine-tenths of all the zickness in :he world is traceable to it. It is merely that simple, common thing, constipation. It makes people listless, causes dizziness, headaches, loves of apne- tit.e Jose of sleep, foul breath, and distress after eating.

COURAGE,

It is not they that never knew Weakness or fear who are the brave:

Those are the proud, the knightly few W hose joy is still to serve and save.

But they who, in the weary nigbt, Amid the darkness and the streae, Have struggled with disease and blight,

With pitifal world-weariness:

They who have yearned to stand among The free and mighty of the earth, Whose sad, aspiring soulsare wrung With startless hope and hollow mirth

Who die with every day, yet live Throvgh merciless, unbrightened years, W hose sweetest right is to forgive And smile divinely through their tears:

They are the noble, they the strong, They are the tried, the trust: d ones, And though their way is hard and

long— Straight to the pitying God it runs. Harper’s Weekly.

—The following ten concise sentences, as given recently by au irstitate lecturer, eum up fully the chief reasons why the farmer should “keep more sheep :”

(1) They are profitable.

(2) They weaken the coil least and vtrengthen it most,

(3) They are enemies of weeds.

(4) The care tLey need is required when ether ‘arm operations are slack.

(5) The amount of invectment need not be large.

(6) The returns are quick and many.

(7) They are the quietest and easiest handled of all farm stock.

(8) Other farm products are made wore largely from cash grains, while those from the sheep are made principally from parture.

(9) There is no other product of the farm that has fluctuated so slight'y in value as mutton,

(10) By comparison wool costs noth- og, tor donot the horse and cow in sbed- ding their coats weste what the cheep eaves ?

In ccuclusion let me repeat; Sheep psy.
