a pleasant season at the famous ren

fleet ,on the coast of Lower Califor

Thursday last, but was beaten off by
of the recent tale of the finding of
wreckage on Carmanah Point, on the
Vancouver coast; but in all of it there
is nothing to point to the St. Nicholas
or her sister-ships, the Berlin and
Villard. Inquiry in all directions

the most of it. The idle talk is born

ILLUMINATED VISION.
Te king was in the counting house
Counting up his money (oblivioiu
of the fact that mere material
welfare will not sav"e a nation).
The queen was in the kitchen
Eating bread and honey (evidently
shirking her duty to the state, as
no children are mentioned).
The maid was in the garden
Hanging . out the clothes (she
should pray to be delivered from
love of luxury and ease).
When along came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose (clearly a
nature fake of the same class as
the wolf-caribou story).
