...foot-ball association began the year with a burden of debt from the preceding year. It has now a balance to its credit of about $1250. The only item in its account to which it is necessary to especially refer is one of the bills for medical attendance. This is a bill which was presented to a member of the team who had been seriously injured, for accompanying him to New York, where he went towards the end of his convalescence to witness the game on Thanksgiving day. The member of the team doubtless understood that the surgeon accompanied...

The practical business men in Canada were all in favor of annexation; the sentimentalists alone opposed it. The resources of Canada are great, but as yet undeveloped...
...filled with new thoughts, which need a new poetry for their expression. Poets must not shut themselves up away from the world, but must move in the heart of affairs; they must share in the life-blood of the general heart in order to express the whole spirit and burden of their times. The poets of the Elizabethan age took the common idioms and jokes of the people and worked them into forms of enduring beauty, and why should their example not be followed to-day? The present situation is critical. Education tends to mere materiality, and here lies...
