CHAPTER XIII.THB ANSWER.For a long time after the departure of Lawrence and Lilian, Mildred sat in a kind of maze, wondering whether the events of the lost hour were real or whether they were all a dream, and that Lawrence Thornton had not called her 11 dear Mildred,\u201d as she thought he did.The Judge, who might have enlightened her, had been suddenly called away just as the carriage rolled'down the avenue, and feeling a restless desire to talk to somebody, she at last ran off to Oliver.He would know whether Lawrence was in earnest, and he would be almost as happy as she was.\u201c.Dear Oliver,\u201d she whispered softly as she tripped down the Cold Spring path, \u201chow much he loses by not knowing what it is to love; the way I do.\u201d Deluded Milly ! How little she dreamed of the wild, absorbing love which burned in Oliver Hawkin\u2019s heart, and burned there the more fiercely that he must not let it be known.It was in vain he triet to quench it with his tears ; they were like oil poured upon the flame, and often in the midnight hour, when there was no one to hear, lie cried in bitterness of spirit :\t\u201c Will the Good Father forgive me if it is a sin to love her, for I cannot, cannot help it.\u201d He was in bed this morning, but he welcomed Mildred with his accustomed smile ; telling her how glad he was to see her, and how much sunshine she brought into his sick-room.\u201c The world would be very dark to me without you, Milly,\u201d he said, and his long, white Angers moved slowly over her shining hair.It was a habit he had of caressing her hair, and Mildred, who expected it, bent her beautiful head to the familiar touch.\u201c Why did Lawrence go without coming to see me ?\u201d he asked, and at the question Mildred\u2019s secret burst out.She could not keep it any longer, and with her usual impetuosity she told him all.and asked, if \u201c as true as he lived, he believed Lawrence would have offered himself to her if Lilian hadn\u2019t surprised them ?\u201d \u201c I am sure of it,\u201d he said ; adding, as he saw the sparkle in her eyes :\t\u201c Does it make my little Milly very happy to know that Lawrence Thornton really loves her ?\u201d \u201cYes, Oliver.It makes me happier than I ever was before in my life.I wish you could, for just one minute, know the feeling of loving some one as I do him.\u201d \u201cOh, Milly! Milly 1\u201d It was a cry of anguish, wrung from a fainting heart, but Mildred thought it a cry of pain.\u201cWhat is it, Oliver?\u201d she said, and her soit hand was laid on his face.\u201c Where is the pain ?Can I help it?Can I cure it ?O, I wish I could.There, don\u2019t that make it better?\u201d and she kissed the pale lips where there was the shadow of a smile.\u201c Yes, I\u2019m better,\u201d he answered.\u201cDon\u2019t, Milly, please don\u2019t,\u201d and he drew back as he saw her about to repeat the kiss.Mildred looked at him in surprise, saying : \u201c Why, Oliver, I thought you loved me.\u201d There was reproach in her soft, lustrous eyes ; and folding his arms qjjout her, Oliver replied : \u201c Heaven grant that you may never know how much I love you, darling.\u201d She did not understand him even then, but satisfied that it was all well between them, she released herself from his embrace and continued : \u201c Do you think he\u2019ll write and finish what be was going to say?\u201d \u201c Of course he will,\u201d answered Oliver, and Mildred was about to ask if he believed she\u2019d get the letter next night, wrhen old Hepsy came up and said to her rather stiffly : \u201c You\u2019ve talked with him long enough.He\u2019s all beat out now.It\u2019s curis what little sense some folks has.\u201d \u201c Grandmother,\u201d Oliver attempted to say, but Mildred\u2019s little hand was placed upon his lips, and Mildred herself said : \u201c Bhe\u2019s right, Oily.I have worried you to death.I\u2019m afraid I do you more hurt than good by coming to see you so often.\u201d He kne7v she did, but he would not for that that she should stay away, even though her thoughtless words caused him many, a bitter pang.\u201c Come again to-morrow,\u201d he said, as she went from his side, and telling him that she would, she bounded down the stairs, taking with her, as the poor, sick Oliver, thought, all the brightness, all the sunshine, and leaving in its stead onlyjweariness and pain.Up the Cold Spring path she ran, blithe as a singing-bird, for she saw the Judge upon the back piazza, and knew he had returned.\u201c Come here, Gipsy,\u201d he cried, and in an instant Mildred was at his side.\u201cBroke up in a row, didn't we?\u201d he said, parting back her hair, and tapping her rosy chin.\u201c How far along had he got?\u201d \u201cHe hadn\u2019t gotalong at all,\u201d answered Mildred.\u201c and I don\u2019t believe he was going to say anything, do you ?\u201d Much as he wished to tease her, the Judge could not resist the pleading of those eyes, and lie told her all he knew of the matter, bidding her wait patiently until to-morrow night, and see what the mail would bring her.\u201c Oh, I wish it were to-morrow now.\u201d sighed Mildred.\u201c I\u2019m afraid there\u2019s some mistake, and that he didn\u2019t mean me, after all.\u201d Laughing at what he called her nervousness, the Judge walked away to give some orders to his men, and Mildred tried various methods of killing time, and making the day seem shorter.Just before sunset she stole away again to Oliver, but Hepsy would not let her see him.\u201c He\u2019s alius wus after you\u2019ve been up there,\u201d she said.\u201c He\u2019s too weakly to stan\u2019 the way you .rattle on\u2019 so you may as well go back,\u201d and Mildred went hack, wondering how her presence could make Oliver worse, and thinking to herself that she would not go to see him once during the next day, unless indeed, the letter came, and then she must show it to him\u2014he'd feel so badly if she didn't.The to-morrow so much wished for came at last, and spite of Mildred\u2019s belief to the contrary, the hours did go on as usual, until it was five o\u2019clock, and she heard the Judge tell Finn to saddle the horses\u2019 and ride with him to the village.\u201c I am going up the mountain a few miles,\u201d he said ; \u201cand as Mildred will want to see the evening papers before my return, you must bring them home.\u201d The Judge knew it wos not the papers she wanted, and Mildred knew so, too, but it answered quite as well for Finn, who, within half an hour after leaving the house, came galloping up the hill.\u201c Was there anything for me?\u201d asked Mildred, meeting him at the gate.\u201cYes\u2019m,\u201d he answered; \u201cpapers by the bushel.There\u2019s the Post, the Spy, the Traveller, and-\u201d \u2022 \u201c Yes, yes,\u201d interrupted Mildred ; \u201cbut the letter.Wasn\u2019t there a letter?\u201d \u201c Yes\u2019m and diving first into one pocket and then into another, Finn handed her the letter.She knew it by its superscription, and leaving the papers Finn had tossed upon the grass, to be blown about the yard, until they finally full into the little destructive hands of Rachel\u2019s grandbaby, she hurried to her room, and breaking the seal, saw that it was herself and not Lilian Yeille whom Lawrence Thornton would have for his bride.Again and again she read the lines so fraught with love, lingering longest over the place where he called her \u201c his beautiful, starry-eyed Mildred, and how heavy his heart was when he feared she loved another, and bow the heaviness was removed when the Judge explained the matter.\u201d jj j\u201cWrite to me at once, darling,\u201d he added in conclusion, \u201c and tell me yes, as I know you will, unless I have been most cruelly deceived.\u201d \u201c I will write to him this very night,\u201d she said, \u201c But I will show this to Oliver first.I am sure he is anxious to know if it came.\u201d and pressing it to her lips she went flying down to the gable-roof.Hepsy was not this time on guard, and, gliding up stairs, Mildred burst into the room, where Oliver lay, partially propped up in bed, so that he could see the fading sunlight shining on the river and on the hill-tops beyojid.\u201cIts come, \"Oliver, its come!\u201d she exclaimed, holding the letter to view.\u201c I am glad fo >our sake, Milly,\u201d said Oliver, a deep flush stealing over his face, for he felt instinctively that he was about to be called upon to pass a painful ordeal.\u201c I wouldn\u2019t show it to anybody else,\u201d she continued : \u201c and I can\u2019t even read it to you, myself; neither can I stay here while you read it, for somehow, I should blush, and grow so hot and fidgety, so I\u2019ll leave it with you for a few minutes while I take a run down to the tree where Lawrence found me sleeping that Sunday,\u201d and thrusting the letter into his hand, she hurried out, stumbling over and nearly upsetting Hepsy, who was shelling peas by the open door.\u201c Oh, the Lord I \u201d groaned the old lady, \u201c you\u2019 ve trod on my biggest corn,\u201d and in the lamentations she made over her aching toe, she forgot to go up and see \u201c if the jade had worried Oliver,\u201d who was thus left to himself, as he wished to be.He would not for the world have opened that letter.He could not read how much Mildred Howell was beloved by another than himself, and he let it lay just where it had dropped from his nerveless fingers.\u201c Why will she torture me so ?\u201d he cried.\u201c Why does she come to me day after day with her bright face, and her words of love, which sound so much like mockery, and yet \u2019tis far better thus than to have her know my wicked secret.She would hate me then\u2014would loathe me in my deformity just as I loathe myself.Oh, why, didn\u2019t I die years ago, when we were children together, and had not learned what it was to be a cripple !\u201d He held up in the sunlight the feet which his dead mother used to pity and kiss\u2014he turned them round\u2014took them in his hands, ' and, while his tears dropped fast upon them, he whispered mournfully : \u201c This is ihe curse which stands between me and Mildred Howell.Were it not for this I would have won her love ere Lawrence Thornton came with his handsome face and pleasant ways ; but it cannot be.She w'ill be his bride, and he will cherish lier long years after the grass is growing green over poor forgotten Clubs !\u201d There was a light step on the stairs ; Mildred was coming up ; and, hastily covering his feet, he forced a smile upon his face, and handing her the letter, said : \u201c It\u2019s just as I expected it.You\u2019ll consent, of course ?\u201d \u201cYes.but I shall write ever so much before I come to that, just to tantalize him,\u201d returned Mildred, adding that she\u2019d bring her answer down for Oliver to see if it would do ! A half-stifled moan escaped Oliver\u2019s lips but Mildred did not hear it, and she went dancing down stairs singing to herself : \u201c Never morning smiled so gayly, Never sky such radiance wore, Never passed into the sunshine, Such a merry queen before.\u201d \u201c A body\u2019d s\u2019pose you\u2019d nothing to do but to sing and dance and trample on my corns,\u201d growled Hepsy.still busy with her pease, and casting a rueful glance at her foot, encased in a most wonderful shoe of her own manufacture.\u201c I am sorry Aunt Hepsy,\u201d said Mildred, \u201c but your -et are always in the way,\u201d and singing of the \u201c sunshine,\u201d and the \u201c merry queen of May,\u201d she went back to Beech wood, where a visitor was waiting for lier.Mr.Robert Thornton ! He had followed Geraldine\u2019s instructions implicitly, and simultaneously with the Mayfield mail-bag he entered the hotel where the Post-office was kept.Seating himself in the sitting-room opposite, he watched the people as they came in for their evening papers, until, «at last, looking from the window, he caught sight of the Judge «and Finn.Moving back a little, so as.not to be observed, he saw the former take the letter which he knew had been written by his son\u2014saw, too, the expression of the Judge\u2019s face as he glanced at the superscription, and then handed it to Finn, bidding him hurry home, and saying he should not return for two hours or more.\u201cEverything works well thus far,\u201d thought Mr.Thornton ; \u201cbut I wish it was over,\u201d and with a gloomy, forbidding face, he walked the floor, wondering how he should approach Mildred, and feeling that the Judge at least was out of the way.\u201c I\u2019d rather stir up a whole menagerie of wild beasts than that old man,\u201d he said to himself, \u201c though I don't apprehend much trouble from him either, for of course he take sides with his so-called son-in-law sooner then with a nameless girl.I wonder how long it takes to read a love-letter ?\u201d \u201c Supper, sir,\u201d cried the coloured waiter, and thinking this as good a way of killing time as any, Mr.Thornton found his way to the dining-room.But he was too excited to eat, and forcing down a cup of tea he started for Beechwood, the road to which was a familiar one, for years before he had traversed it in quest of his young girl-wife.Now it.was another Mildred he sought, and ringing the bell he inquired \u201c if Miss Howell was in ?\u201d \u201c Down to Hepsy\u2019s.I\u2019ll go after lier,\u201d said Luce, at the same time showing him into the drawing-room and asking his name.\u201c Mr.Thornton,\u201d was the reply, and hurrying off, Luce met Mildred coming up the garden walk.\u201c Mr.Thornton returned so soon !\u201d she exclaimed, and without wasting to hear Luce\u2019s explanation that it was not Mr.Lawrence, but an old, sour-looking man, she sprang swiftly forward.\u201c I wonder why he sent the letter if he intended coming himself?\u201d she thought ; \u201c but I am so glad he\u2019s here,\u201d and she stole, before going to the parlour, up to her room to smooth her hair and take a look in the glass.She might have spared herself the trouble, however, for the cold, haughty man, waiting impatiently her coming, cared nothing for lier hair, nothing for her beautiful face, and when he heard her light stop in tjio hall he arose, and purposely with his back towards the door and his eyes fixed upon the portrait of her, who in that room, had been made his bride.\u201c Why, it isn\u2019t Lawrence.It's his father!\u2019 dropped involuntarily from Mildred\u2019s lips, and blushing like a guilty thing, she stopped upon the threshhold, half trembling with fear as the cold grey eyes left the portrait and were fixed upon herself.\u201c So you thought it was Lawrence,\u2019' he said, bowing rather stilly, «and offering her his hand.\u201c I conclude then that I am a less welcome visitor.Sit down by me, Miss Howell,\u2019\u2019 he continued, \u201c I am here to talk with you, and as time hastens I may as well come to the point at once.You have just received a letter from my son ?\u201d \u201c Yes, sir,\u201d Mildred answered faintly.\u201cAnd in that letter he asked you to be his wife?\u201d Mr.Thornton went on in the same hard, dry tone, as if it were nothing to him that he was cruelly torturing the young girl «at his side.\u201c He asked you to be his wife, I say.May I as Ms father, know* what answer you intend to give ?\u201d The answer was in Mildred\u2019s tears, which now gushed forth plenteously.Assuming a gentler tone, Mr.Thornton continued : \u201c Miss Howell, it must not be.I have other wishes for my sou, and unless he obeys them, I am a ruined man.I do not blame you «as much as Lawrence, for you do not know everything as he does.\u201d \u201c Why not go to him, then ?Why need you come here to trouble me?\u201d cried Mildred, burying her face in the cushions of the sofa.\u201c Because,\u201d «answered Mr.Thornton, \u201c it would he useless to go to him.He is infatuated\u2014blinded as it were, to his own interest.He thinks he loves you, Miss Howell, but he will get over that and wonder at his fancies,\u201d \u201c Mildred\u2019s crying ceased at this point, and not the slightest agitation was visible, while Mr.Thornton continued : \u201c Lilian Veille has long been intended for my son.She knew it.He knew it.You knew it, and I leave you to judge whether under these circumstances it was right for you to encourage, him.\u201d Mildred sat bolt upright now, and in the face of her tormentor there was that which made him quail for an inst.ant, but soon recovering his composure he went on : \u201c He never had a thought of doing otherwise than marrying Lilian until quite recently, even though he may say to the contrary.1 have talked with him.I know, and it astonished me greatly to hear from Geraldine that he had been coaxed into-\u201d \u201c Stop ! \u201d and like a young lioness Mildred sprang to her feet, her beautiful face pale with anger, which flashed like sparks of fire from her d.ark eyes.Involuntarily Mr.Thornton turned to see if it was the portrait come down from the canvass, the attitude was so like what he once had seen in the Mildred of other days.But the picture still hung upon the wall, and it was another Mildred saying to him indignantly : \u201c He was not coaxed into it ! I never dreamed of such a thing until Judge Howell hinted it to me, not twenty minutes before Lilian surprised us as she did.\u2019 \u201cJudge Howell,\u201d Mr.Thornton repeated, beginning to get angry.\u201c I suspected as much.I know him of old.Nineteen years ago, he was a poorer man than I, and he conceived the idea of marrying his only daughter to the wealthy Mr.Thornton, and though he counts his money now by hundreds of thousands, he knows there is power and influence in the name of Thornton still, and he does not think my son a bad match for the unknown foundling he took from the street, and has grown weary of keeping.\u201d \u201c The deuce I have ! \u201d was hoarsely whispered in the adjoining room, where the old Judge sat, hearing every word of that strange conversation.He had not gone up the mountain as he intended, and had leached Beech-wood just as Mildred was coming down the stairs.Lucy told him Mr.Thornton was there, and thinking it\u2019was Lawrence, he went ipto his library to put away some business papers ere joining his guest in the drawing-room.While there he heard the words, \u201c You have just received a letter from my son?\u201d Bob Thornton, as I live?\u201d he exclaimed.\u201c What brought him here ?I don\u2019t like the tone of his voice, and 1 wouldn\u2019t wonder if something was in the wind.Anyway, I\u2019ll just wait and see, and if he insults Mildred, he\u2019ll find himself lusted out of this house pretty quick !\u201d So saying, the Judge sat down in a position where not a word escaped him, and, by holding on to his chair and swearing little bits of oaths to himself, he m«anaged to keep tolerably quiet while the conversation went on.\u201c I will be plain with you, Miss Howell,\u201d Mr.Thornton said/ \u201c My heart is set upon Lawrence\u2019s marrying Lilian.It will kill her if he does not, and I «am here to ask you, as a favour to me and to Lilian, to refuse his suit.Will vou do H?\u201d \u201c No ! \u201d dropped involuntarily from Mildred\u2019s lips, and was responded to by a heavy blow of the fist upon Judge Howell\u2019s fat knee.\u201c Well done for Spitfire ! \u2019\u2019 he said.She\u2019s enough for old Bobum yet.I\u2019ll wait a trifle longer before 1 fire my gun.\u201d So he waited, growing very red in the face, as ND\u2019.Thornton answered indignantly : \u201c You will not ,vou say?I think I can tell you that which may change your mind ; \u2019\u2019 and he explained to her briefly how, unless Lilian Yeille were Lawrence\u2019s wife, and that very soon, they would all be beggars.\u201c Nothing but dire necessity could have wrung this confession from me,\u201d he said, \u201c and now Miss Howell, think «again.Show yourself the brave, generous girl I am sure you are.Tell my son you cannot be his wife ; but do not tell him why, else he might not give you up.Do not let him know that I have seen you.Do it for Lilian\u2019s sake, if for no other.You love her, and you surely would not wish to cause her death.\u201d \u201cNo, no\u2014oh, no!\u201d moaned Mildred, whose oqly weakness wqe loving Lilian too well.Mr.Thornton saw\u2019 the wavering, and, taking from his pocket the letter Geraldine had prepared with so much care, he bade her read it, and then say if she could answer \u201c Yes \u201d to Lawrence Thornton.Geraldine Yeille knew what she was when she wrote a letter which appealed powerfully to every womanly tender feeling of Mildred\u2019s impulsive nature.Lilian was represented as being dangerously ill, and in her delirium begging of Mildred not to take Lawrence from her.\u201cIt would touch ft heart of stone,\u201d wrote Geraldine, \u201cto hear her plaintive pleadings, \u2018 Oh, Milly, dear Milly, don\u2019t take him from me\u2014don\u2019t\u2014for I loved him first, and he loved me ! Wait till I «am dead Milly.It won\u2019t be long.I can\u2019t live many years, and when I am gone, he\u2019ll go back to you.\u2019\u201d Then followed several strong arguments from Geraldine why Mildred should give him up and so save Li lian from dying, and Mildred, «as she read, felt the defiant hardness which Mr.Thornton\u2019s first words had awakened slowly giving w\u2019ay.Cover ng her face with her hands, she sobbed : \u201cWhat must I do?What shall I do?\u201d \u201c.Write to Lawrence and tell him no,\u2019 answered Thornton ; while Mildred moaned : \u201c But I love him so much, oh, s< much.\u201c So does Lilian,\u201d returned Mr.Thorn ton, beginning to fear that the worst was not yet over.\u201c So does Lilian, and my claim is best.Listen to me, Miss Howell\u2014Lawrence may prêter you now but he would tire of you when the novelty wore off.Pardon me if I speak plainly.The Thorntons are a proud race, the proudest, perhaps, in Boston.Lawrence, too, is proud, and in a moment of cool reflection he would shrink from making one his wife whose parentage is as doubtful as your own-\u201d Mildred shook now as with an «ague chill.It had not.occured to lier that Lawrence might sometimes blush when asked who his wife was, and with her bright ej'es fixed on Mr.Thornton\u2019s face she listened breathlessly,while he continued : \u201c Only the d.ay that he came to Beech-wood he gave me to understand that he could not think of marrying you unless the mystery of your birth were made clear.But when here, he was, I daresay, intoxic.ated with your beauty, for, excuse me, Miss Howell, you are beauti ful ; \u201d and he bowed low, while he paid this compliment to the girl whose lip curled haughtily «as if she would cast it from her in disdain.\u201c He forgot himself for a time, I'pre sume, hut his better judgment will pre vail at last.I know you have been adopted by the Judge, but that does not avail\u2014that will not prevent some vile woman from calling you her child.You are uot a Howell.You are not my son\u2019s equal, and if you would escape the bitter mortification of one day seeing your husband\u2019s relatives, «aye, and your husband, too, ashamed to acknowledge you refuse his suit at once, and seek a com panion\u2014one who would be satisfied with the few thousands the Judge will probably give you, and consider that a sufficient recompense for your family Will you do it, Miss Howell ?\u201d Mildred was terribly excited.Even death itself seemed preferable :o seeing Lawrence ashamed of her, and while object after object chased each other in rapid circles before her eyes, she answer-ed : \u201c I will try to do your bidding, thou, it breaks my heart.\u201d The next moment she lay among the cushions of the sofa, white and motionless save when a tremor shook her frame showing what she suffered.\u201c The little gun, it seems, has given out, and now it\u2019s time for the cannon,\u201d came heaving up from the deep chest of the enraged Judge, and snatching from his private drawer a roll of paper, he strode into the drawing-room, and con fronting the «astonished Mr.Thornton began : \u201c Well, Bobum, are you through ?It so, you\u2019d^better'be travelling if you do not want the print of my foot on your fine broadcloth coat,\u2019 «and he raised hi heavy calfskin threateningly.\u201cI heard you,\u201d he continued, as he saw Mr Thornton about to speak.\u201c I heard all about it.You don\u2019t want Mildred to marry Lawrence, and not satisfied with working upon her most unaccountable love for that little soft, putty-head dough bake, you tell her that she ain\u2019t good enough for Thornton, and hid her marry somebody who will be satisfied with the few thousands I shall probably give her Thunder and Mars, Bob Thornton, what do you take me to be?Just look here, will you ?Then tell me what you think about the few thousands,\u201d and he unroll ed what was unquestionably the \u201c Last Will and Testament of Jaçob Howell.\u2019 {You won\u2019t look, he)r,\u201d he continued.\u2018 Listen, then.But first, how much do you imagine I\u2019m worth ?What do men in Boston say of old Howell when they want his name?Don\u2019t they rate him at half a million,and ain\u2019t everyred of that willed on black and white to Mildred, the child of my adoption, except indeed ten thousand given to Oliver Hawkins, because I knew Gipsy\u2019d raise «a fuss if it wasn\u2019t, and twenty thousand more donated to some blasted Missionary societies.not because 1 believe in\u2019t, but because 1 thought maybe \u2019twould atone for my swearing once in awhile, and sitting on the piazza so many Sundays in m3' easy-chair, instead of sliding down hill all day on those confounded hard cushions and high seats down at St.Luke\u2019s.The Apostle himself couldn\u2019t sit on \u2019em an hour without getting mighty fidgety.But that\u2019s nothing to do with xny will.Just Listen,\u201d and he read: \u201cI give bequeath and devise\u2014and so forth,\u201d while Mr.Thornton\u2019s face turned black, red, and white alternately.He had no idea that the little bundle of muslin and lace now trembling so violently upon the sofa had so large a share of Judge Howell\u2019s heart and will, or he might have «acted differently, for the Judge\u2019s money was as valuable as Lilian Yeille\u2019s, and though Mildred\u2019s family might be a trifle exceptionable, four hundred thousand dollars, or thereabouts, would cover a multitude of sins.But it was now too late to retract.The Judge would see his motive at once,and resolving to brave the storm he had raised, he affected to answer with a sneer : Mone3r \"dB not make amends for everything.I think quite as much of family «as of wealth.\u201d (To be continued.)

origin of sudden deaths, the experiment has been tried in Europe, and reported to a scientific congress held at Strasburg.Sixty-six cases of sudden death were made the subject a thoroughmortem examination ; in these cases only two were found who died from disease of the heart.Nine out of the sixty-six had died of appoplexy while there were fifty-five cases of congestion of the

Burlington Ilawkeye, the Danbury Nexus, and the Detroit Free Press have hitherto led in this especial department of literature.We are glad to observe so ponderous and dignified a journal as the Times devoting its talents and efforts iu this direction.The editorial column is the most instructive and amusing part of the journal.We give a specimen, apprising out readers ol the fact that it is in editorial.\u201cIn the Town of Durham, Mass., there lately lived Mr.Caleb B.Twitch-etley, who at first glance seeming to be a grossly improbable person, was nevertheless a sad reality.Mr.Twitcherley was what is called a genial, though quick-tempered person, and it was more bis misfortune than his fault that he attracted swarms of friends around hiip, Moreover he was plentifully supplied with sisters and appts, and lie married, for which indeed, there was no excuse, except that of mere reckless desperation, into a family where he fairly rolled in sister-in-laws.All of them\u2014sisters, aunts, wife and sisters-in-law\u2014loved him devotely, and men pointed him out with awe and pity as one who probably suffered from more friends than any other man in the State.Mr.Twitcherly was engaged to act .s a groomsman at the wedding of ope > f I i most relentless relations on the f Septet .st, and with that view order'd\tpair of black trou- sers.On the morning of the 17th of that month his new trousers came home from the shop, and he tried them on.They proved to be an inch too long and he instantly took them back to the tailor.To his dismay he learned that the tailor was absent, and would not return until the next day, whereupon he took the trousers home, in a state of mind that could be move easily described than imagined, provided one knew exactly what that state was.\u201c There were at that time in Mr.Twitcherly\u2019,s house, his wife, his mother, five of his own sisters and three of his sisters-in-law\u2014both kinds of sisters being young, unmarried ladies.They were all shocked when Mr.Twitcherly announced, with all the epithets and interjections that the most liberal system of morality could authorise, that ins infamous tailor had made his trouser wholly impracticable.Little by li ttle his affectionate relatives drew from him the full story of his wrongs, and they were overflowing with sympathy when lie Iclt Ihcm to go to his business, remarking as that it would be out of taste for him to attend a wedding without trousers, it would he impossible for him to act as groomsman, \u201c No sooner had he closed the door than his affectionate wife stole quietly into his room, cut oil what her liberal feminine imagination regarded as an inch from the bottom of his trouser-legs and sewed them up again with much neatness.It took her only a few minutes to achieve this labor of love, and she felt that she had done nothing more than it was her duty to do as a faithtul and devoted wife.\u201c'A little later it occurred to Mr.Twitcherly\u2019s mother that she would just run up stairs and shorten her son\u2019s trousers.Like her daughter-in-law, there was nothing mean about her conception of an inch, and when her charitable work was done the trousers were fully four inches shorter than when they left the tailor\u2019s shop.\u201c After the mother came the sisters and the sisters-in-law, one by one and in the utmost secrecy they attacked the unfortunate garment with a boldness that, in view of their utter want of practical acquaintance with trousers, was really remarkable.Each was determined to give Mr.Twitcherly an agreeable surprise, and therefore took great care that no one should know of her sartorial devotion.Five sister and three sisters-in-law are eight female relatives.Allotting only one inch of trousers to each, we may assume that their united efforts shortened the trousers eight inches, to which must bo added the four inches precisely cut by Mrs Twitcherly and by Mr.Twitcherly\u2019s mother.There is not the least doubt that had the owner of these trousers examined them when he returned home on the 17th August he would have been very much surprised indeed.\u201c It so happened that he did not examine them.The tailor had unexpectedly returned, and to him Mr.Twitcherley hastily sent the trousers with a note, exprès.:.,g ;\t¦ opinion that, in \u2019 of intellip'-nco.he was interior to des that A-\u2019 and instantly cut ch fr Hi\ttrouser leg.\u2014The tailor was a - tempered man, and after intorming Ids assistant that Mr.Twitcherley was a combined idiot and maniac, besides being weak minded, he obeyed the order, and sent the remnant of the trousers home.The next evening, about half an hour before the wedding was to take place, the Twitcherley household was horrified to see Mr.Twitcherley rushing into the street, dressed apparently in a short pair of black \u201c Trunks,\u201d and howling for blood.He has not since been seen, but the body of the tailor, who had apparently died from an appoplectic stroke, was found the next day stretched by the side of his cold and useless \u201c goose.\u201d \u201c This anecdote is but one of many which illustrate the suffering wrought by affectionate friends.Let us hope that it may do its part in strengthening us to endure our friends no matter how many and how affectionate they may be.\u201d A witty woman has

it has also water works, the machinery for which had to hauled over the mountains by mules.The city is a favourite resort of Hock Mountain outlaws, murderers, horse thieves, mail robbers, &c., still the citizens are very seldom molested.We have no rats or cats in the city.Wages are high\u2014so is the cost of living.Printers make from $3 to $4 a day, and other mechanics in like proportion.\u201d___ Stratford Beacon.- -«~0, and an additional copy for the year free to the sender of the Club.\ty J I or the year 1880, these prices include a copy Annuat Register, or Rural Affairs, to each subsenber\u2014a book of 144 pages and about AO engravings\u2014a gift by the Publisher.7S*à*»All new suscribers for 1880, paying in advance now, will receive the paper weekly, Irom receipt of remittance to January 1st, 1880, without charge.Specimen copies of the paper free.Address\u2014 LUTHER TUCKER & SON, Publishers, ALBANY.N, Y.\t66 50th YEAR OP GOOEY\u2019S LADY\u2019S BOOK The °1 $2.00 p6r v Subscriptions will be received\t^ Clubs with thTpapVf3 0*C, The EXAMINER nn G 50 \u201c salt, -tp lb.0\t90 (g> 0\t10 Hams, smoked, IP lb.0\t10 (g) 0\t12 HIDES\u2014IP lb.0\t0G 0\t07 POULTRY\u2014 Turkeys IP lb.0 10(g)0 12 Geese ^p lb.0\t00 (g> 0\t06 Spidng Ducks, per pair.\t0\t40 (g> 0\t50 Chickens IP pair.o\t20 (g) 0\t35 \u201c ip ft,.'.0 00 (g> 12£ Partidges per pair.0\t25 \u2014 0\t40 Wild Ducks, per pair.0\t00 \u2014 0\t00 Mrs.Capt.Norman, of Millbrige, Ontario, writes, Aug.I7th, 1871 :\u2014\u201c Allen's Lung Balsam cured my son of a severe attack of congestion of the lungs.He took no other medicine, the Balsam acted wonderfully, taking away the fever, at once operating on the bowels, and sending matter up from off the lungs, in appearance dreadful beyond expression- There are several others who reside in this neighborhood, and have been cured by Allen's Lung Balsam, who would give certificates if asked.\u201d A Family Friend.\u2014No family should he without Perry Davis\u2019 Vegetable Pain-f 1 i' r, 9 can 130 gi'ren to the infant for the Colic, and to the adult for Rheumatism.There is scarcely a disease to which it may not be beneficially applied.It contains no deleterious drug, hut may be used for the various ailments ot mankind.It is said that some of the aikaloids which enter into the combination of Fellows\u2019 Hypophosphites, are extracted from trees which attain to a groat age, and that this fact suggested to Mr.Fellows\u2019 the idea of their employment.Whether the success of the preparation is due to this, we are not prepared to say, but the idea is a good one.Bg^Guinesscs Porter, Bass & Co\u2019s Ale in quarts and pints, Daw\u2019s & Co.La-chine, Canada, Best India Pale Ale in quarts at $1.25 per Dozen.This Ale is extra quality.Give it a trial.C.J.Odell & Co.Robinson.The first lecture of a course to be delivered here during the winter months, under the auspices of the Bury Orange Lodge, was given in the Town Hall on the 26th ult., by the Rev.Mr.Charbo-nell of Sherbrooke, to a large and atten- Monti\u2019eal Live Steels Marlset\u2014ï>ec.5.The arrivals of live stock at Point St.Charles last week were thirty-three carloads of cattle, throe carloads of sheep, a carload of horses and 694 hogs.The has been added to the above since yesterday morning, eleven more carloads of cattle and 735 live hogs.A good many cattle have also been brought to the city by way of Longueuil lately.Although the market is overstocked with beef critters yet very few of them are of first quality, or even good seconds.With a few exceptions, the range of sales to-day were from 2c to 3£ per lb.and a good many head of common and inferior cattle are likely to be held over for another market.George Patterson, of Guelph, sold to R.Nicholson a choice steer for $50 or 4^0 per lb, and a pair of oxen for $105 or 4jc per lb, T.Kelly sold five head at near 4c per lb.Several other lots of cattle were sold on private terms to be taken to Viger Market, where there were fully 450 head of cattle offered to-day.and the sales made were unsatisfactory to droves.A Western drove who had been offered $23 per head in the morning for all his-cattle, afterwards took them to Viger Market and sold them at $22 per head.The market is rather glutted with live hogs at present, and a carload were sold at $4.50 per 100 lbs, and another large lot at $4.55 do.A lot consisting of 38 very large fat hogs were sold at $4.95 per lbs.Dressed hogs are worth from $5,75 to $6 per 100 lbs.The supply of sheep and lambs was large today, but the quality was not such as the butchers require at present- There was a brisk demand for good lambs, which sold at from $3.75 to $4 each.R.Nicholson bought to-day twenty lambs at #4 each, twenty do at #3.95 each ;
