A DAY AMONG THE MOUNTAINS.

"Come sit by your father's knee, My son,

On the seat by your father's door, And the thoughts of your youthful heart, My son,

Like a stream of Gladness pour; For, afar 'mong the lonely hills, My son,

Since the morning thou hast been; Now tell me thy bright day-dreams, My son,

Yea, all thou hast thought and seen?"

"When mora abune yon eastern hill
Had raised its glimmerin' e'e,
I hied me to the heather hills,

Whar' gorcocks crawin' flee;
An' e'er the laverock sought the lift,
Frae out the dewy dens,

I wanderin' was by mountain streams
In lane an' hoary glens.

"Auld frownin' rocks on either hand,

Uprear'd their heads to Heaven, Like temple-pillars which the foot

O' Time had crush'd an' riven;
An' voices frae ilk mossy stane

Upo' my ear did flow,-
They spake o' Nature's secrets a'—
The tales o' long ago.

"The daisy, frae the burnie's side,
Was lookin' up to GoD-

The crag that crown'd the towering peak

Seem'd kneeling on the sod:

A sound was in ilk dowie glen,

An' on ilk naked rock

On mountain-peak-in valley lone-
An' haly words it spoke.

"The nameless flowers that budded up

Each beauteous desart child

The heather's scarlet blossoms spread
O'er many a lanely wild:
The lambkins, sporting in the glens-
The mountains old and bare--
Seem'd worshipping; and there with

them

I breathed my morning prayer.

"Alang o'er monie a mountain-tap-
Alang through monie a glen-
Wi' Nature haudin' fellowship,

I journey'd far frae men.
Whiles suddenly a lonely tarn
Wad burst upon my eye,
An' whiles frae out the solitudes
Wad come the breezes' cry.

"At noon, I made my grassy couch Beside a haunted stream,

A bonnie blumin' bush o' brume
Waved o'er me in my dream.
I laid me there in slumberous joy
Upo' the giant knee

Of yonder peak, that seem'd to bend
In watching over me.

"I dream'd a bonnie bonnie dream, As sleepin' there I lay :

I thocht I brightly roun' me saw
The fairy people stray.

I dreamt they back again had come
To live in glen an' wold-
To sport in dells neath harvest-munes--
As in the days o' old.

"I saw them dance upon the breeze,
An' hide within the flower-
Sing bonnie an' unearthly sangs,

An' skim the lakelets o'er!
That hour the beings o' the past,—

O' ages lost an' gone

Came back to earth, an' grot an' glen
War' peopled every one!

"The vision fled, an' I awoke :-
The sun was sinkin' doon;
The mountain-birds frae hazles brown
Had sung their gloamin' tune:
The dew was fallin' on the leaf,

The breezes on the flower;
An' Nature's heart was beating calm,.-
It was the evening hour.

Corn Laws, the, 650-up to last crop, the
existence of the corn laws, as affecting
prices, was of no importance, ib.--the
last wet and cold summer raised the
price of corn, and the Radicals have
seized this formidable weapon to move
the passions of the people, ib.-the ar-
gument constantly maintained against
the corn laws stated, 651--doubtful
that unrestricted importation of fo-
reign corn would lower the money
price of corn, 652-unrestricted im-
portation would depress the home
growers as much as it would encou
rage the foreign growers, ib.-exam-
ples of the effects of this principle
quoted in other articles of consumption,
653-fallacy of the opinion that low
prices are the invariable concomitant
of prosperity, proved, 655-as well as
the opinion that a free trade in grain
would greatly extend our foreign trade,
ib.--the home trade rather would de-
cline much more than the foreign
trade would increase, 657--official ta-
bles quoted to show the greater value
of agriculture than manufactures, and
of agriculture and the home trade
combined, than the foreign trade, ib.
-whilst the cry for unrestricted im-
portation of corn is set up, the restric-
tions existing in favour of manufactur-
ing industry are permitted to rest un-
molested, 659-when the home market
consumes more than double the quan-
tity of manufactures than the foreign,
it is unwise to change the direction of

trade, 660-especially when the per-
sons who constitute the home consum-
ers are compared with the foreign con-
sumers, ib.-but the question assumes
more importance when the national
existence is concerned, 661--nor is
there the least fear that the country
will become unable to support our in-
creasing manufacturing population,
when millions of acres lie uncultivated
in all parts of the country which are
yet capable of cultivation, 662-un-
bounded as the capability of Britain is
to support its inhabitants, its agricul-
tural production must be liable to fluc-
tuations from the nature of the sea-
sons, 663-the happy working of the
corn laws during such fluctuations,
proved, ib.--and which effect could
not have taken place had an unre-
stricted trade in corn existed, ib.

Liberalism of Popery, the, 730; the poli-
tical character of popery as it has al-
ways been described, ib.; the support
given by popery to liberalism proved to
be for fraudulent purposes, first, in re
ference to the ballot, ib.; second, to
the voluntary principle, 731; and
thirdly, as to national education, 732;
history supports this view of the hollow-
ness of popery, as witnessed in the
suppression of the reformation in Po-
land, 734; in its attempted suppres
sion in England, 735; if a doubt ex.
ists of the tyrannical intention of po-
pery in those times, a glance at its
proceedings in the present age in sur-
rounding countries, will dispel it, 736;
if the pretensions of popery were sin.
cere towards liberalism, she would
support all Protestant Governments
whsch are based on tolerant principles,
737; the union now of popery and
liberalism is a sign of the times, as
pregnant with gloomy forebodings, as
it was in times past, 739; the remark-
ably prophetic sentiments of Bishop
Horsley on such an ominous combina
tion, aptly quoted, 740; popery has
never yet succeeded in her aggres
sions against protestantism, and it is
hoped never will, ib.

Progress of popery, the, 494; the Roman
Catholics of England and Scotland
took very little part in bringing about
the emancipation act of 1829, and none
in the revolutionary measures connect-
ed with the war with France, ib.; now
that they see political power within
their grasp, they are using the means
of wealth and influence at their dispo
sal to gain it, 495; their numbers are
.ncreasing in the country, in the legis.
lature, and in offices of trust, 496; its
progress in Canada, Cape of Good
Hope, New South Wales, the United
States, proved from the tract of Mr.
Bickersteth, the writings of Dr. Lang,
and other documents, 498; of the pro-
ceedings of the Roman Catholic mis
sions, Dr. Wiseman's lectures, and the

account of those missions in Australia,

Reciprocity and Colonial Systems, the,
317; two different principles have go-
verned this country in their foreign and
colonial relations, ib. ; the two systems
have come into collision, ib.; impossi-
ble to enjoy the advantages of both, ib.
the vital point which separates the two
systems is, whether the producers or
consumers shall have the ruling power,
ib.; to protect the producers, the navi-
gation laws were enacted, 318; the
reciprocity system is founded on dia-
metrically opposite principles, ib.; the
reciprocity act quoted, 319; the effects
of the reciprocity system on the mari-
time strength, and resources of the em.
pire, demonstrated to be injurious to
our commercial navy, 320; its alleged
favourable effects on the commerce of
the country examined, and proved to
be unable to preserve our European
trade from decay, 323. whereas the
restrictive system has been unable to
check the growth of our commerce
with our colonies, 326; the favourable
results of the restrictive system in our
colonial trade, has enabled the advo-
cates of the reciprocity system to blind
the nation regarding the real tendency
of the latter, 328; the grand error of
the latter system is the sacrificing the
national security and defence to the
national wealth, 329; the two grand
articles of national independence are
grain and shipping, ib.; a free trade
cannot be maintained in either, 330;
in the application of the reciprocity
system, the price at which different
commodities can be raised in different
countries, is an essential distinction to
be kept in view, ib.; the acts and rea-
sonings ef foreign nations in relation
to prices, stated and considered, and
their injurious effects on this country
shown, 331; the two points on which
