Mb JT. G. Boubwot, librarian of ti» ~ Canadian Parliament, contributes to m th*> Scottish Review LITBRATUBK a general surrey of HI CANADA, the progreei and * preeent condition oi n literature in the Dominion of C^-ndt^ _ where, he says, the 5,000,000 of people y who inhabit that rut region are die >t playing a mental activity commensurate _ with their ex^ansip* of territory and _ accumulation of wealth. This he* i been especially obvious daring the last f I thirty yean, for literary productive* * new appears to have been greatly stim v . lated by political federation, because \ writeri now address themselves to a I far larger andienoe than when eadbt , waa very little known or heard of oat side of hie own province. There an, indeed, two literatures growing op aid* ' by side, the one French and the other ' English, and each will probably react beneficially upon the other. Of oouree there is, as Mr Bcmriaot points out, a good deal of slovenly and inartistic work ' done in a country which is passing through conditions of social and indus trial development unfavorable to sus tained reflection, patient study, and that learned leisure which is oonduoive to great and durable achievements in art, letters, or science; and where the systems of education tend to produce superficial and fugitive, rather than solid and durable, results. And, in this respect, they respond to a public demand, for the majority of people want " to make a young man a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer, or teach him some other vocation .as soon as possi ble," to the neglect of the humanities. But, on the whole, Mr Bourinot is of opinion that the literary progress of the Dominion has been satisfactory in the past, and contains much promise for tbe future; and that the material success of the confederation " will be fully equalled by the intellectual efforts of a people who have sprung from ' nations whose not .east enduring fame has been the fact that they have given the world of letters so many famous names that represent the best literary genius of the English and French races," t Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—The most effectual cure for gout and rheumatism. -A. frequent csuse of these complaints is ihe inflammatory state of the blood, attended with bad digestion, lassitude and great debility, showing the want of proper circulation of the fluid, and any impurity of the blood greatly aggravates these disorders. Holloway's Pills are of so purifying a nature that a few doses taken in time are an effectual preventive against gout and rheumatism, but anyone who has an attack c. either should u»e Holloway's Ointment also, the powerful properties of which, combined with the effects of the Pills, ensure » certain cure. The Ointment should be thoroughly rubbed into the parts uffected at least twice a day, after they have been sufficiently fomented with warm water to open the pores to facilinte the intro duction of the Ointment to the glands,
