MARKDALE Mftwn? A Letter From the Wheat Fields BY r. T. CAKR Aw.iy to the West I On that most beautiful day, the fourth of Juno, after bidding adieu to the loved ones at home, we unirain at hi/,h noon at our favorite spot, Fli'sherton. As "all aboard " rang out, a hiss of steam, a ring of bell, a grind of wheel, and the elegant coach coni- ineiici'd to rush thronifh sp.ico -ind we rea- lized we were otl'for the great wheat gar- den of the spacious Canadian West once ni'iie. So alter a patting wave of hand- kerchief wc settle down in our cosy seat lor contemplationâ€" and whiit fond mem- ories throng ths mind ! Home land, cherished ones, shall wo ever sue you jj;ain ? The gliding landscape slips byâ€" - liill and dale, rock, mo )r and fen, bejein- iiied with fair Ontario's merry hoiiios,and *;ro wo are aware " Owen Sou.id " s'anle.s x)ur ear and charms ou.' eye. Soon our train stops. The stately AthaUusca rides gracefi lly on the bosom of the deep, the leviathan of the great inland sea (Lake .Superior) as if iiivitin.> one on this warm .lune day to tempt the fntos by a taste of life on the ocean wave. The coi(uetiy i.s BO entrancing we tumble to the charm, ai\d a'. 5.40 wo Imso from the ino'>ring iind almost inipercep'ibly glide away Nor h westward, while points, and liays, and lioidlaiids and pruinonlories appear ill s^iccoasiv-e array and then fade aw ly in the rear diUance. Hut the exhilaiatini; S'nsation! lilcss us ! this is pleasant. Now the tun sinks into the bowl of wat'TS and darkness comes on npaco, whil-t in the luxuriously fitted pnrlor of till! ve.HSil the ladies (God bloiH them) vio with each other to entttrtaiu the company fo recently thrown together from the four i|U 11 tors of the comp.iss. Tbe evonin;^ is whili'd away with sweetest music and song and lieguiling story. Ere loni/ tonipting lefreshmenls an I tl on all hands seek the ipiiet of neatly sppiiinled stateronnm, while one often bears the <]nery, " Have you t,'"t the key of your bunk?" The oeasi'loHS onward puncli, jiunch of the engine, t!ie whirl, whiil of the screw, and moniiiiu light of the fifth finds us 140 miles on the seaway; and 300 more miles abend. Noon, and our merry crowd are fleligiiled with t1io lovely sail up the St. tMsrie liver, tVitb beautiful landscape on ahead, and we aro "out on the ocean sail- ing, 10 a home beyond the tide," (may it l»e so in a higher sense) with Port Arthur the next port of call. Supper over, deck promenade, '.i pipes, turn in for repose. Sunday morning, bright, calm and clear. A glance at the ships log reports lU miles per hour travelled. At 10,30 o'clock the prominent Thunder Cape ia snilited and passed. A tin with sealed top,contaiiiiiig papois, mail and leports for the lone travellers on the rockland, 11 tossed over board and hastily picked up by a man in waiting iit a skifl'on the briney surf. How aweiiisping is the scone ! It is a sublime moment in anyone's life when they can stand on the deck of a vessel and, luokiiiK over an exiianso of waters, they can gaze on the liiuh'ands, where mnuntaina are on mountains hurled, till it seems earth, and rocks, and lioavon bend. Truly a sub- lime prospect, richly repayiiic the travel- ler to view. Here we beciune actiuaintcd with the very genial, much reported Dr. Wilkie, of India, a fellow passenger <m nis way to ilio General Assembly of the Presbyterian Ministry, at Vancouver. The Dr in a very friendly way introduces himself and one feels right at home with liim, while he enters into animated con- versation on the live topics of the day and hour. A very seliolnrly irnn, and yet we find tha' even such a scholar and educator and missionary as Dr.Wilkio corta'uly is, can bo biasi'rl in his views and arguments on sonio vital points of piditicat and soci.tl life. This he discovered t<i us whilst speak- ing of the approjvcliing ineetinu of the Supreme Oiand Orange Lwlge of British North America at Winnipeg. The Dr. remarked thi.t that was, in his opinion, nil iiifitiiution that was no hmger nei'ded and had outgrown its usefulness.

Knifed the Constables why, Dr." Because he had seen some two or three Orangemen drunk on the day of colebration. And so, Dr.Wilkio, you ex- eoininunicato the wh<do Orange As><ocia- tioii, because of soino few weak individual members indnlgiiiL' their diseased ap- petites to excess! Well, Dr., wo have seen individual members go from tho com- iiiuninn service at the church. aiid that on Sunday, to tho hotel, and be drunk be- fore going totheirhome.and yet wo do not undertake to excimimunieato the church because of that. lUit, Dr., I am in a pos- iticm to advise you that we as the Orange Constables Campbell of Hanover and Cousins of Walkertoii appeared bof«re •ludgo Barret yesterd.iy on the chariie of compounding a felony preferred asja inst them by Conslab'e Rriggs of Walkciton.
