    Never Give Up.
When weary one night from the tofl
of the day,
My heart with its burden cast down;
Alope and unaided on life's barren
way,
And all the world wearing a frown;
1 heard the quaint tones, heating meas-
ured and slow,
Of the clock, from its shelf on the
wall;
And, as the staid pendulum swung to
and fro,
In rhythm these

For, far as anyone can see,

ago, it was predicted that
would pay more for Canada than she
had spent in the Seven Years’ War
she “would have to shed rivers of
blood,” one distinguished English-
man sald, over the disputes that
would inevitably arise with the United
States, Thus far, the prophecy has
not come true, because England has
chosen the wiser part of conciliating
the United States, frequently, it must
be alowed, at our expense. The
danger is that this policy may be car
ried too far. It is the popular belief
in Canada that In all the negotiations
and adjustments with the United
States since 1783 we have suffered
from the incapacity of British diplo-
mats, from their want of local knowl
edge, and from disposition to placate
the Americans “in the interests of the
empire.” Nine Canadians out of ten
