SMILES FOR THE DAY.
dohcerning " Moses." An enthusiastic member of the Keform Party a few weeks ago compared Mr Massey to Moses leading his followers to the Promised Land. It will be remembered that Moses did not enter the land, though he had a grand funeral just outside of it. A story to the point'is told in Mr Murray Gibbon's "Scots in Canada," of an ancient Highland settler in Canada who had led. a band of pilgrims safely through an Indian-infested country. Admiration of the thing was expressed by somebody, -who said, "The only instance I know that I can at'all compare it to is that of Moses leading the Children of Israel into their promised land." Up jumped old John. "Moses ' he said, " compare me to Moses. Moses be ——! He lost half his army in the Red Sett, and I brought my party through without losing one man."
