to me you are a stranger ; but if I might hope to win your confidence and have your friendship, 1 should feel that the world would yet be a new place to me.\u2019 Perhaps we may be friends.I have but very few myself.However, I can promise you one thing, in whatever way I can serve you, so far as it is in my power, I certainly am ready to do so.\u2019 Would your mother be willing to see me?She saw me, you say, last evening, and I want to try to convince her that I am not what I must have seemed to her then ; and, oh !-\u2019 There was again a pause ; he could not go on; his emotions overpowered him.My mother will gladly see yon.I will call her.\u2019 In a few moments Herbert returned, his mother following him.He had told how the young man felt, and her heart was already burning with pity for him.He arose as she entered ; he was the size of her own Herbert, and apparently his age ; his face delicate as that of a female, and finely formed.His eyes were suffused with tears.She put out her hand, and his tender look at her worked up all the mother in her heart.My poor, dear child 1\u2019 and saying this, she imprinted a mother\u2019s kiss upon his cheek.This was more than his feelings could resist ; he laid his head upon her shoulder while her arm embraced him.1 Oh !\u2019 said he, scarcely able to articulate nis words, \u2018 since 1 was three years old, I have never known what it was to have a mother\u2019s kiss !\u2019 I have thought so, my child.But be of good cheer, your heart is not lost yet.Don\u2019t be ashamed of your tears ; they teil me there is hope for you.What we can do for you shall be done with all our heart.I have no money, and doubtless you do not want that ; but I know how much a son of your age needs a mother, and you may repose with perfect confidence upon my readiness to do all the good that it is in my power to do.\u2019 \u2018 Oh, bless you, bless you for these kind words 1 I have never heard such sounds before ; and if I may only have such a friend to whom I can tell all I feel, there will be something worth living for.You saw me last night ?\u2019 I\tHush 1 hush ! we will not talk about that.At some future day, when this dark shadow has disappeared, and your mind has become more calm, and yon know us better, then, if you wish, you can tell us all about it.But let it for the present be obliterated.Only let us know in what way we can be of service to you.Remain here for the present or go home, just as you think best.\u2019 II\thave no home !\u2019 1 No home ?\u2019 A moment Mrs.Jones looked at him in silence.He, surely, did not look like an outcast ; he was genteelly dressed, and his whole appearance that of one who had been well cared for, and accustomed to good society.At length she said : \u2018Sit down by me, now, and tell me all you wish to say ; if it will relieve yon to unburden your mind, you can safely do so, either to myself or to my son\u2014he feels deeply interested in you.\u2019 Herbert had left the room.The young man took his seat, and Mrs.Jones sat beside him.He did not give his name ; for the present, he said, it was the only thing he would withhold.He did not seem disposed to extenuate his faults ; nor did he seem to magnify what he thought to be harsh treatment.It was, on many accounts, a painful story ; but Mrs.Jones could understand how a little harshness, under peculiar circumstances, might lead an irritated child to speak unadvisedly.That he had done so, she, in her kind way, told him ; and he was ready to confess it, and she advised him to go to his father, and frankly acknowledge his wrong.He was ready, he said, so to do, but thought it better first to let some weeks pass.His father was a very determined man, his mind not easily turned, and he was, no doubt, highly incensed.The reader need not necessarily be told that this young man was Herman Granite.On leaving his father\u2019s residence, in order to avoid all his friends, he had procured board in the suburbs of the city, and had kept himself quite secluded, only going out in certain parts of the day, when he knew that those with whom he had associated would be engaged, and not likely to come in his way.He had made up his mind to go to sea, and having fallen in with a young mate of a vessel about to sail to China, had formed an intimacy with him, and resolved, through his persuasion, to engage as a common sailor for the voyage.He had not seen the captain, nor the vessel ; and having made a confident of this sailor, it was concluded that his name could be enrolled on the ship\u2019s books, and that he could go on board just as she was about to sail.The time for her departure had arrived ; he had purchased his clothes and packed his trunk, and, the next day, was to go over to Brooklyn, and from thence be conveyed to the vessel.He had not given his real name, for his design was, if possible, to prevent any chance for a discovery by his father of his whereabouts.The mate had called for him, early that evening, as he said, \u2018 to take a short cruise,\u2019 and, no doubt with the design of leading the unhappy youth into haunts of infamy, had insisted upon his drinking with him.Herman had never been addicted to stimulants\u2014he had no taste for them ; but willing to show that he was not afraid of trifles, he drank when urged.And when the poison had begun to have its natural effect, of exciting his temparament, he was more easily induced to take more.He was at first ignorant of the nature of the den into which he had been led ; but, happily, before his reason left him he ascertained the truth ; and while his companion was engaged with some of the inmates, he passed from among them and made all the haste he could, if possible to get to his boarding-house before he should be entirely overcome by the liquor he had taken.In this, however, he was unsuccessful, and was found at last by Herbert Jones, in the condition which we have described.With the omission of bis name, all these particulars he frankly told to Mrs.Jones, and then added, as he closed : 1 The scenes of the past night have opened my eyes to the character of those with whom I was about to associate, and my mind revolted then ; and now the idea of being connected with creatures so debased, is perfectly abhorrent to my feeling.1 am conscious that I am not fallen so low, as my father said I had ; and I feel more sure than I have ever been, that evil practices and evil companions lead to a depth of degradation of which I had no conception.Oh, I hope !\u2014yes, I know\u2014I am not quite lost ; and the kind treatment I have received from yourself and your dear son, I trust has touched my better feelings.I shall try, in some way, to begin a new life.\u2019 \u2018 You will not go to sea, then ?\u2019 1 Not as a common sailor\u2014nothing but the most dire necessity can tempt me to do that.\u2019 \u2022 But if you return to your lodgings, will you not be subjected to annoyance by that man\u2014the officer of the vessel ?< I have thought af that ; I must try, if possible, for a few days, to avoid him, until the vessel sails.If I could only,- He was going to say, if he could only remain where he was for a short time, or even permanently, how happy he should be ! But he felt a delicacy in doing so.It might not he convenient or agreeable.But the kind lady at his side anticipated what he would have said ; in fact she had become so interested in the relation of his history, that she was anxious not only to shield him from the present evil, but, if possible, to do something toward restoring him to his family.As he paused at the unfinished sentence she said : 1 Perhaps, if you could be contented to remain where you now are, for a day or two, it may answer your purpose ?\u2019 1 Oh, it is asking too much ! But could you keep me ?\u2019 1 Our house is small, and its accommodations not many ; but if you wish to remain for a few days, we shall certainly be glad to have you.\u2019 And he remained there for a full week and mingled in their happy family scenes.He witnessed the pure love which seemed to pervade the very atmosphere of their dwelling ; became much attached to every member of the tamily, and they to him ; for all better feelings of his own heart had been awakened into life, until it seemed to himself a strange thing that he should ever have indulged the angry passions.He learned, too, what charms a true home has, and how the mutual interchange of kind words and acts, the letting forth of the heart\u2019s warm feelings\u2014shed a halo around the common circles, for more enchanting than all the glitter of most costly apartments ; that a true home is made not merely by the pleasant things which wealth can gather under the domestic roof, by that Christian order which gives to each his proper place, and that holy love which acts spontaneously, as each fulfils his part.He learned, too, that neatness could be maintained without severity or constant complaint ; and that gentility of manners was not necessarily connected with rich dresses and distant reserve.A new world of thought had opened to him, too, in reference to that which should give a man his true standing in life.Among all the friends, or rather acquaintances, he had formed\u2014 and those had been from families in comfortable circumstances, and who, no doubt, would have shrunk from the idea of associating with one who merely kept a corner gxocery\u2014not one did he know to be more truly a gentleman than Herbert Jones\u2014not one of them all did he respect so much for his judgment and mental improvement, and valuable to him as a friend.He had seen a new phase of life, one which he could not have supposed to exist.Hereafter he will have a new standard to judge by.It was only a week that he remained as an inmate, but every fine evening he had called in, and made one in theit little circle.His views, too, had been materially modified in reference to his duty to his father.He was not satisfied with his own conduct.He saw now where he had been wrong.That delicate attention which Herbert constantly paid to his mother ; his respect for the slightest intimation of her wishes ; his constant regard to her pleasure and comfort ; and even the soit and pleasant tones of voice in which he addressed her, offered such a contrast to his own habit, that he could now see clearly bow far he had come short.There was a beauty in filial and parental Intercourse that he had never noticed before.To be sure he had no mother, and his father\u2019s manner seemed cold ; but yet he could not believe it was from any want of affection on his parent\u2019s part ; and even he began to think that the harsh language which his father had used at their last interview was an evidence how strong his love had been.So Mrs.Jones had told him.ft might be so ; and perhaps, even now, deep anguish was wringing that parent\u2019s heart, and day by day he mourned in secret over his blasted hopes.He had never thought before how much a parent loved until this lovely woman, in soft and touching tones, unveiled the depth of the parental fountain.He had talked freely with Herbert, and resolved, at last, to do his duty.He made known his name and that of his father.\u2018 How strange it is that we have never met !\u2019 said Herbert ; \u2018 do you never visit the store ?\u2019 1 Not often, and then only to ask for money ; but do you know my father ?\u2019 \u2018 Oh, yes.It was his kindness that enabled me to go on with the store.Without his aid we should have been broken up and scattered in different places, all of us without a home, and I without my mother.Oh, how thankful am I that this little house has been a retuge for his son\u2014how strange !\u2019 1 Strange, strange indeed ! \u201d and Herman Granite bowed his head upon his hands, and seemed deeply touched.1 Your father is a noble, kind-hearted man, or he would never have dealt with one who had no claims upon him as he has dealt with me ; and in all my dealings with him he treats me more like one he wishes to befriend than as a merchant who wants to sell his goods.And now I can understand what Mr.Blagg told me a few days since when I asked him if Mr.Granite was not well, for he was so silent and downcast.\u201c His heart is sick,\u201d said Mr.Blagg ; \u201c domestic trouble, I fear, will break his heart\u2014but do not speak of it ; \u201d and I have not, even to my mother.Oh, you will go back, will you not, and tell him that you regret that you have ever given him any cause of sorrow, and that henceforth it will be your happiness to conform to ail his will ?\u2019 11 am ready to do so.I would go this moment if I thought he might not suppose it was merely because my means were exhausted, and that necessity, not a sense of duty, drove me back.But if you would see Mr.Blagg and tell him all, and let him tell my father, and that you believe my heart is truly penitent, he might be better satisfied.\u2019 And it was for this purpose Mr.Blagg had come this evening.He knew not for what purpose Herbert wished him to call ; supposing it was merely some business matter.That alone would not have taken him ; but he enjoyed a chat with the young grocer, and he could have one more free from disturbance than in his own counting-room.Herbert was always in a hurry when there.I\tWeil done Vanblarcom 1\u2014turned retail grocer, ha ?But where\u2019s your pria cipal ?\u2019 This was Mr.Blagg\u2019s salutation as he entered the store and saw Mr.Vanblarcom weighing out some small article for a little girl who was waiting patiently for the movements of the gentleman ; he, never having attended much to such small matters, was not very rapid in his movements.\u2018 Herbert has gone out, but he will he in soon ; in about five minutes he will be here, for he is expecting you this evening.\u2019 The meeting between William Ashton and Mr.Vanblarcom was peculiarly cordial, especially on the part of the former.What he had learned from Mr.Blagg of the particulars of Mr.Vanblarcom\u2019s situation and feelings had given him a deep interest for that gentleman, and the fact that he was thus giving his time to serve a friend, added to the respect he entertained for him.Within the time specified Herbert entered, and along with him Gertrude Manners.They both appeared with a very serious countenance ; indeed, Gertrude had evidently been weeping, but only a glance could be had at her face, for she immediately entered the sitting-room, without waiting to be introduced to any one.Mr.Vanblarcom now left his place behind the counter, and addressing young Ashton : II\tdon\u2019t know, sir, but you will think I am presuming on your kindness ; but my wife is so very anxious to see you, in order that she may express to you personally her sense of the obligations we are under to you, that I have had to promise I would ask you to my home the first opportunity.We live close by, and it will intrude upon your time only a few moments.We don\u2019t ask you as a visitor, for we are in no trim to see visitors.\u201d \u201c I will go, certainly, with pleasure ; but please ask your wife to say nothing about our business matters.I should like to make her acquaintance, for 1 wish to be on visiting terms with the families of those I do business with.\u201d (To be continued.) father is an English nobleman with an estate in Warwickshire.I am his second son, my elder brother being in the army, and at present with the 42nd in India.I am naturally of a roving disposition and one great aim of my life has been to visit America.Two months ago I embraced an opportunity offered that and came here, I first went to Washington,and from thence I came here, to Dresden, where I have spent two delightful weeks, hunting and fishing, but alas ! it is over for a while now,\u201d he said,with a regretful sigh, looking, as he spoke, towards his bandaged arm.\u201cOh l\u201d said the Doctor \u201cwe will soon have you all right again, as good as new, and I will warrant that Miss Nina will not let the time hang heavily on your hands.\u201d \u201cBut I must be oft, tor other patients need my attention.Good bye, Sir ; good bye, Nina, and (in an under tone) \u201cdon\u2019t fall in love with your handsome guest.\u201d Nina laughingly assured him that he need have no fear on that score ; and the goodnatured Doctor took his departure.The old lady then turned to Clarence, as we shall now call him, and said \u201c I fear this conversation has been too much for you, and we had better now leave you, for you will need rest and refreshment.Clarence thankingthem,he was left alone once more, to reflect on what had passed.He was much interested in Nina, and rather blessed his accident as the means of his becoming acquainted with so charming a young lady as her appearance seemed to indicate.The next morning he awoke feeling much refreshed, and when Nina entered with his breakfast, she was delighted to see him looking so much better.Being a handsome man, of the dark type, with black curling hair, a pair ol bewitching black eyes,and a black moustache curled to perfection, a high white forehead, and a strong athletic form, he found the situation pleasant enough.His days of convalescence were soon passed, and he was again able to resume his hunting and fishing ; but he no longer lodged in the village, having persuaded Aunty Thomson to hoard him for the remainder of his stay at Dresden.Need we say that, through these short summer months, that seemed to pass like a dream to our young friends, these two hearts were gradually drawn together by a tie closer and dearer than friendship ?In the evenings they would sit in the porch and he would give her descriptions of his father\u2019s beautiful home in \u201cMerry old England,\u201d or she would seat herself at the piano, which was her father\u2019s parting gift, and Clarence would accompany her with his rich tenor voice; and as Auntie Thomson sat listening to their glad young voices ringing out on the still evening air, a tear would drop on her knitting, as her thoughts went back to the time when she was young, and stalwart Dan.Thomson came courting her.(-Written for The Examinee.) A Romance Among the Green Hills of New Hampshire, \u201cLa ! sakes alive, what has happened ?\u201d This was the exclamation of good old Aunty Thomson as she sat in the doorway of the old counlry farm-house.\u201cWhat has happened ?\u201d and well might she ask, for coming across the front garden was a young man whose pale white face and bleeding arm showed that he was injured.He came up the walk skw-ly, and with difficulty, and gave the old lady such a Grandisonian bow that she at once made up her mind that he was a gentleman.She immediately rose to meet him and said, \u201cMay I be of any assistance to you my dear Sir ?\u201d\t\u201c I am afraid,\u201d replied he \u201cI am intruding upon you, but if you will kindly allow me to rest here a few moments, I will then try to get to my lodgings in the village.While I was hunting this morning, my gun accidently discharged, and I fear the shot has entered my arm.\u2019\u2019 She was about to reply, when looking up she saw that the young man had fainted.Going to an inner door she called loudly to a young girl.\u201cComing Auntie,\u201d replied a fresh young voice as she came singing along.\u201cHush ! Nina,\u201d said Mrs.Thomson, motioning to the young man.\u201cWhy, who is it ?Auntie,\u201d she asked.\u201cI know nothing of him except that he appears to be a gentleman, and that he is injured.Now, if you will ask John to go for the Doctor, 1 will do what I can for him in the meantime.\u201d When Nina had sent John off for the Doctor and had retraced her step» to the house, she found the young man still unconscious, and Mrs.Thomson bending over him, doing ter best to restore him to consciousness, but all her efforts availed nothing.The old lady looked up and saidto her neice as she entered, \u201cNina dear, I think you had better prepare the best room, as I fear he cannot he moved.\u201d Nina obeyed, and the old lady was once more left with the stranger.After a few moments the Doctor arrived and seeing all efforts to restore the patient had failed, he, with the assistance of John, carried him to the room carefully prepared by Nina.Once there, the Doctor examined his wounded arm, and with some difficulty extracted the ball, which had lodged near the shoulder.After giving directions for his treatment, and telling Mrs.Thom-son it would be dangerous to move him at present, he took his departure.That lady was the widow of a well-to-do-farmer, whose farm lay among the green and beautiful hills of New Hampshire.Nina Carlton, her niece, was the daughter of a colonel, a Canadian, at present serving with an English regiment in India.She was a beautiful girl of eighteen, tall, (somewhat over the medium height) well formed, and with that willowy grace so seldom seen ; her complexion was almost dazzling in its purity, bnt the fresh country air had lent a soft warm color to her usually pale cheeks ; her eyes were a beautiful brown, and changed with every emotion of their fair owner.Her mouth was rather large but well formed, and her small teeth were brilliantly white and even ; her hair was a dull soft brown, growing low on her forehead.At about four o\u2019clock the gentleman awoke, feeling much refreshed by his sleep.Very much surprised to find himself in a strange room, he was trying to recall what had happened, when Mrs.Thomson entered, followed by Nina.\u201cI hope you are feeling better,\u201d said the former \u201cYes, I thank you ; I have been trying to recall what has occurred, but cannot.It seems, however, that I have fallen into good hands,\u201d he replied, \u201cbut I am afraid I am causing you a great deal of trouble.\u201d They were about to reply when Dr.Gilbert\u2019s step was heard on the stairs, and he soon entered the room.\u201cWell, and how are we doing ?how is the arm ?\u201d queried he.I tell you what it is, Sir, you have fallen into good hands, and I can vouch for it that you will have the best of care, eh ! Miss Nina,\u201d said the Doctor, turning to her as she stood beside her Aunt.Nina\u2019s fair face flushed as she replied that he gave them too much praise,hut that they would do their best to hasten the gentleman\u2019s recovery, and in the meantime make his stay at the farmhouse as pleasant as possible.\u201cDoctor,\u201d said the gentleman, \u201cas I am likely to be under your care for some time, 1 hope you will allow me to introduce myself.My name is Clarence De Vere, and my who rejoiced to think that his home should become once more the scene of pleasure and gayety._ And thus we leave our friends in their happy homes across the sea.M.M, C.and J.L.W.Sherbrooke, P.Q.It was at the close of a bright day in Autumn as the sun\u2019s last rays were shedding a soft light o\u2019er the old farm-house, that Clarence,who had just returned from the city .asked Nina to accompany him for a walk.They wended their way along the river side, and there, standing by the river, he took her hand in his, and asked her to become his bride.Need we tell her answer ?When they returned to the house, on Nina\u2019s finger gleamed a diamond ring, and Auntie Thomson, meeting them at the door, saw by their faces that somewhat had occurred, and she immediately guessed that what she had so often longed for had come to pass.A week after, as they were sitting in the porch discussing their plans for the future, John brought Nina a letter which, on opening, she found to be from her father, saying he and an intimate friend of his, would arrive on the evening train of the following day.Nina\u2019s heart bounded for joy ; then came the thought, what would be her father\u2019s opinion of her handsome young lover.Clarence was rejoiced to think he should so soon meet the father ot his intended, Shortly before the train was due, a carriage containing two occupants was seen rolling along the country road to the station,\u2014these as our readers will readily guess, were Nina and Clarence.They had hardly reached the station, before the train came rushing in.Out of one of the first-class carriage sprang two military looking gentlemen, the elder of whom Nina at once recognized as her dear papa.At the sight of the other, Clarence gave a bound towards him and grasped him by the hand, saying as he did so, \u201cBy Jove, old fellow, is this y< u ?can it be possible?Miss Carlton,allow me to make you acquainted with my brother, Ernest, of whom you have heard me speak so often.\u201d \u201cThis is indeed an unexpected pleasure,\u201d returned Nina.\u201c Papa, allow me to present my friend, Clarence De Vere, whose brother you have so unexpectedly brought witn you.\u201d The drive home was a very happy one, and Mrs.Thomson was no less surprised than were our young friends.Ernest proved to be a very interesting companion, as also did Colonel Carlton, and the evening passed very quickly, with music and auecdotes of their travels in India.As soon as the brothers had reached their room, Clarence, slapping Ernest on the shoulder, exclaimed, \u201cCongratulate me, old fellow,\" \u201cNina Carlton has consented to be my wife, and I am the happiest fellow in the world.\u201d \u201cIndeed ! then I do with all my heart.She seems to be a young lady of talent and beauty ; sit down and tell me how it happened, old fellow,\u201d Whereupon, Clarence related the adventure which first led him to Deepdale farm, and after he had finished, demanded from Ernest an explanation of his meeting with Nina's father.Ernest related how, in a brush with the enemy, Col.Carlton\u2019s bravery had saved his life, and from that time they had been inseparable companions, and Col.Carlton, returning to America, had insisted upon his returning witn him, \u201cWhich I am very glad 1 did,\u201d he added, \u201cas I am just in time for the happy event which I suppose will soon take place.\u201d The next day, Clarence sought an interview with Col.Carlton, which ended satisfactorily to all parties concerned.It being now the end of September, the wedding was set for Christmas morning ; and Nina immediately wrote to her dearest friend, Florence Browning, to to come and act as bridesmaid.In -due time Miss Browning arrived ; and the days wore on Ernest found himself rapidly growing interested in the fair Florence and very soon put his fate to the test and was accepted.Between the two, they devised a happy surprise for the other couple.The time passed quickly away, and the old farm-house was a scene of great bustle and confusion.The bridal morn at last arrived, and as the heautiful bride was led into the village church at Dresden, clothed in her rich garments, all eyes were turned in admiration towards her.Clarence awaited her at the altar and the marriage ceremony was performed, but as Clarence and Nina stepped aside, Ernest and Florence took their places, and were made man and wife, to the surprise of all, except Col.Carlton who gave away the bride.After the wedding-breakfast had been partaken of, the happy couples started on their long journey to England, accompanied by Col.Carleton.It was not, however, without many tears that Nina left the dear old farm-house, where she had spent so many happy days.Aunty Thomson\u2019s swollen eyes and half suppressed sobs, told plainly her grief at parting with her niece.The last good-byes are spoken; and the last slipper has been thrown ; the carriage has driven off ; and they have said good-bye to New Hampshire for ever.We need only add that they were cordially received by Lord DeVere, HUMOROUS Coughs, Colds, Croup and Whooping Cough, as well as all Lung diseases, are quickly cured by the use of Downs\u2019 Elixir.\tUtf Why are railways like laundresses?\u2014 Because they have \u201cironed \u201d all England, and occasionally done a little mangling.NK ï iiiiy Men.\u201cWells\u2019 Health Renewer\u201d restores health and vigor, cures Dyspepsia, Impotence.Why are there three objections to taking a glass ot brandy?\u2014Because there are three \u201c scruples to a dram.\u201d Hair that has been renewed by the Cingalese Hair Renewer never will again become gray, sold at 50 cents per bottle.8w20 When Dr.Chapman was dining at a hotel he was served with what was called barley soup on the hill of fare, \u201cit is barely soup.\u201d J>on*t \u2019.tie in Hie Mouse.\u201cRough on Rats.\u201d Clears out rats,mice roaches, bed-bugs, flies, ants, moles, chip munks, gophers.15c Oscar Wilde\u2019s big brother wants to come to America on a lecturing tour.Oh, if we only had a navy now to protect us.\u2014Laramie Boomerang.Singers and Public Speakers should use Downs\u2019 Elixir, as it removes hoarseness and increases the power of the voice.\t17tf Wanted by a bachelor jeweller\u2014a wife with a neck or pearl, ruby lips, brilliant eyes, golden hair, a silvery tongue, and a perfect jewel of a temper.Beautiful Glossy Hair may be secured by wetting the hair at night for two or three weeks with the Cingalese Hair Renewer.50 cents per bottle.8w20 \u201c Please, sir, give me a penny.\u201d said a street urchin to a gentleman, adding as he saw a look of denial coming into the man\u2019s face\u2014\u201c indeed you ought to, for Tve been running after you most half an hour.\u201d That Husband of Mine Is three times the man he was before he began using \u201cWells\u2019 Health Renewer.'\u2019 $1.Druggists.\u201c Tell me the worst, gentlemen,\u2014am I going to die?\u201d said a patient to a number of doctors in consultation over his case.\u201c We are divided on that question, sir,\u201d answered one of the doctors;

It ole sate Turning from Mgr.Fabre\u2019s scheme of coloniïation to that of Mr.L.A.Senwcal, we notice that, in an interview with the correspondent of the Globe, Mr.Senecal has stated the purpose of his gigantic Colonization Society to he to colonize the Prov ince of Quebec with \u201cIrish, French, Italians, Germans and others,\u201d and he proposes to go before the Local Legislature, the coming session, presumably for aid to his scheme.It will be noticed that the English and the Scotch are carefully omitted from this list\u2014an omission we commend to the attention of the correspondent of the Courrier de Worcester, incase he should be still on the look out for an \u201coutrage.\u201d Just received a Large CONSIGNMENT SHELE iUID HEAVY HARDWARE Making his stock the LARGEST & BE3T ASSORTED In the Townships, comprising in part the different grades of BAR IRON AND STEEL, Viz.:\u2014Scotch Crown Plow, Norway, Swedes and Sow- moor Iron, Sleigh Shoe, Tire, Spring, Toe Caulk, Machine and Cast Steel Horse Shoes, Shoe Nails.Cut Nails and Spikes.Proof Coil Chain, Cow Chains and Trace Chains.Pumps, Lead and Iron Pipe, Shovels, Picks, Mattocks, etc The Sherbrooke correspondent of the Courrier de Worcester has taken an expression used by the correspondent here of tha St.John\u2019s News as an excuse for an attack upon the E.T.Colonization Society and upon the St John\u2019s News correspondent himself (whose full name and profession he most unjustifiably pub lishes) whom he twits with inadvertently \u201c letting the cat out of the bag \u201d with respect to the alleged protestant character of the Society.And going on to speak of the interest taken in the Society by members of the Dominion and Local Government, he concludes his onset by stating it as his opinion that \u201c under the circumstances, it is an outrage to dispense public moneys for such an object.\u201d The answer to all this is very simple.The correspondent of the St.John\u2019s News did not say that the Society is exclusively protestant, but, having in view the nationality of the promoters and the object of the Society, which is to attract English and Scotch tenant farmers to the Townships, he stated that \u201calthough this Society is un-dersmod to be protestant, it is strictly non denominational, (not non-eofnessionalle,As quoted\u2014which is the simple fact.And if any of these tenant-farmers should happen to be catholic, as is very likely, the Society will welcome them as cordially as their protestant fellows.Again, the Society is asking the Government for no money or pecuniary assistance in any shape, as implied by the Courrier1 s correspondent.It is receiving and expecting only an aid (which it values highly, however,) in distributing its pamphlet; and this the Dominion Government has agreed to do by adopting and publishing it as an appendix to its own.As the correspondent of the Courrier has evidently read our report of theSociety\u2019s late meeting, where all these facts plainly appeared, we can only surmise that, his mind being filled with some indistinct notion of an \u201c outrage,\u201d he has confused this Society with one lately projected under Romafi Catholic auspices, and referred to in another column, which proposes to get the Government to build a railway of a hundred miles or so for its exclusive benefit.Judgments have at rendered in the three Quebec contested elections, the Conservatives losing two seats and the Liberals one.In the Montmagny case Judges Bouthier, Plamondon and Angers were unanimous in granting Mr.Rernatchez, the Liberal, the seat.It will be remembeted that he ob-gained a large majority at the polls, which was converted into a minority, next morning, by the robbery of the ballot-boxes.The seat was therefore awarded to Dr.Fortin, the Tory candidate, on the count.This candidate was only a regenade, having deserted the Joly party when he thought its fortunes desperate.Of course he, with many others of the Chapleau-Senecal band was substantially backed through the contest by the Boss, the money and labor expended being now proved a waste.Fortin has been righteously condemned to pay all the costs, which are exceptionally heavy.Judge Routhier, who was a Conservative before his elevation, severely denounced the criminal conduct which had so long denied the elect of the ' people his rights, Mr.Bernatchez\u2019s constituents have expressed their satisfaction in a grand demonstration of welcome.In the Nicolet case, Mr.Houde, a Conservative, was unseated for bribery and treating, and ordered to pay all the costs.One of the judges thought he richly de served disqualification.Those are the men who have long formed the rank and file of the Quebec Tory party, and such are the practices by which many of them have long secured seats in the legislature.No election law, however strict, no public opinion, however moral, seems able t# stamp out such vices, so long as they benefit unscrupulous and avaricious party speculators who run the machine at Quebec and Ottawa.In the Kamouraska election case, Mr.Gagnon, the Liberal, was unseated by the rejection of the vote of a minor, which constituted his majority.This leaving an equality of votes to the candidates, the election was declared null and the costs divided.But strangely enough, while taking this course, the judges admitted that Mr.Gagnon had made out his plea of a majority, since his opponent, not possessing the requisite property qualification, had not really been a candidate.Mr.Gagnon will stand in the ensuing election on the Liberal ticket, and will, doubtless, be elected.elevate their own province, instead of depressing her rival.And the strong feeling exhibited at the gathering, last week, of the yeomanry of Ontario should convince them that the attempt of the Dominion Government to usurp the rights and powers vested in that of the Province, if persisted in, will be more likely to result in splitting up that Government, than the territory of Ontario, which, in spite of all, will remain intact in the possession of the Ontario people.Nor will it be an easy matter to deprive these latter of any portion of their right to self-government.One of their chief reasons for entering the Confederation was that it ostensibly offered a remedy for a grievance that was sorely felt under the old Legislative Union, where it constantly happened that bills affecting Upper Canada only, and supported by Upper Canadians, were defeated by Lower Canadian votes.But, if this remedy is ostensible only\u2014if Quebec may still control local legislation in Ontario through its hidden, but none the less real, control of the Federal Government, then it will be hard to convince the people of that Province that they have gained anything more than a change in the name of their governor ; and perhaps to their plain sense it may appear preferable to meet their foe face to face rather than under a disguise, however plausible.But, in truth, Confederation really has established their right to self-government on a new basis ; and under Confederation the right of each provincial legislature to legislate on provincial matters is as well assured as th® right of the Dominion Parliament to legislate on Federal matters ; and the Dominion Government has no more power to disallow a strictly Provincial Act, than the Imperial Government has to disallow a Dominion Act But, if the Act should not be strictly provincial, or federal, as the case may be\u2014if, in either case, it should trespass upon the right of the higher povver, then, undoubtedly, a veto-power exists.But there must be a trespass.It is not sufficient that the higher power merely dislikes the measure.The Imperial Govern-mont did not like the protective tariff adopted by the Dominion Government.But it did not veto it, nor interfere with it in any way, although it was intended to operate to the prejudice of British trade.In the same manner, the Dominion Government, though it may dislike some local Acts of the Ontario Leg islatura, should recognize that these acts being purely local are undoubtedly, whatever may be said to the contrary, in the category of strictly provincial rights, contemplated by the spirit and letterot the Act of Confederation; and consequently\u2014with-, out the jurisdiction of the Federal Government.And it should, remember that, just as the Dominion Government would have resisted any interference by the Imperial Government with its protective legislation, Ontario has a perfect right to regard any interferance in its local concerns as an unwarrantable usurpation which it will be justified in resisting by every lawful means.Municipal Elections.Sherbrooke.\u2014The election of councillors in this city passed off very quietly on Monday.G.E.Rioux, E-q., D.M., presided at the meeting of electors, and received and read the nominations, as follows : North Ward, W.C.Lyford, in place of R.W.Heneker, Esq., who resigned ; S.J.Foss, P.M., in place of J.W.Wiggett, ex-mayor, whoretiresowing to press of business and ill-health :\u2014 Centre Ward, H.C.Cabana, Esq., one of the retiring councillors.There being no other nominations, these three' gentlemen were declared unanimously elected.R.W.Heneker, Esq , explained his reasons for resigning and reviewed at some length the present position of the city\u2019s finances.Comparing the expenditures of the last three years, he showed that the only department exhibiting any great increase in expenditure over former years was the Road Department.He thanked the electors of the North Ward for their confidence in him as their rep esentative by leaving him untrammelled in the use of his private judgment in conducting the affairs of the city.A hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mr.Heneker by the electors for his past services, and also to ex-mayor Wiggett.Councillor Belanger, chairman of the Road Committee, gave a lengthy report of the doings of his department for the year, claiming that though the items of expenditure during the past year does fo t up to over $10,000 its management would compare favorably with that of previous years.The comparative statement of the receipts and expenditure during the past three years, referred to by Mr.Heneker, is as follows :\u2014 convinced will result in our school tax being 7 mills on the dollar instead ot 4i mills, as at present.Now, for the year ending June.188.,.the sum of $1,480.63 was paid over toi school pur, oses, but what benefit, the rate-payers derive from the expenditure I have been trying to discover, and for that purpose have visited some of the schools, with what result I propos# to describe in a further letter.Yours truly, W.P.Richards, S.C.Bury, City Council.pic-utc, This year to the CO © 00 t> O C«CO©«OCOCOOOt> X\u2014'®©© eo ® w x> a» r-i 3 © »-ic \u201d OJ r-( i o © o s © SC 00 C5 00 -a O œ « t-4 CO © © ^ œ » ^ W vjT CO r-(
