the Li< ntenant-Oovernor of this Province, aa a day of tpecial Thanksgiv.ing to Almighty Ood for the blessing of an abondant harvest which he baa been pleased to bestow upon this country, was observed as such by a large portion of this community.All the Banks and Public Offices, and a large number of business establishments in this city were closed, and the Post Office was open only till twelve o'clock.Divine service was held in the vatlous Protestant churches during the day, and in the morning a grand joint service of the various Church of England congregations in this city was held at eleven o\u2019clock, U TBS ASOLICAM OATHSBSLAL.There was an immense attendance, the bnlldlng being thronged from end to end, and the interior ot the old Cathedral was tastefully and effectively decorated.At each pillar aronnd the gallery, a bounteous sheaf of grain was fastened by a wreath of evergreen, while the font, reading desk and pulpit, wsre appropriately decorated with grain and other fruits of the soil.The Bishop of tie Diocese and all the clergy of tbe city occnpled seats in the CbaOcel, the musical arrangements hav- for example, men\u2019s persistently herding together in

the spirit to render thanksgiving to Almighty God for the In-gathering of the harvest, had been in all ages the spontaneous outburst of the human mind.It is very meet, right, and oor bonnden doty, that we should at all times sod in all places, but especially at this time at.d at this particular period, offer op oar thanks to Him whose order of Nature is i the preservation of man.A little less

seen seed-time and harvest have no idea of tbeir failure, bat there were many amongst those to whom he ¦poke, who could call to mind the terrible failure some years ago of tbe Irish crops, when famine and hunger stalk'd abroad throegh that beautiful isle of lakes and valleys.There were harrowing scenes in that fair land In these days, bat how coaid those who never saw them form an adequate idea of them.Even in this land the great calam- like Witherington, in doleful dumps, without a leg to stand upon.The following official telegram, received from Ottawa yesterday, announcing the granting of the

all his troubles, and when the game of throwing dust into the eyes of his follow-countrymen was progressing so nioely.Fate is sometimes hard, however.We have no doubt that we will be met by the statement that the whole business has been cut and dried-to suit the election, and that, were it not tor the election, those terrible enemies of Lower Canada, Quebec and the Irish race, the Mackensie Government, would never ^ ^ ^\t^ ^ ^ ^ LogpU have thought of an amnesty to O I>ono-1 Witnsssed tbe melancholy end of bun-hue.We might, in refutation of this, dreds of victims who were overtaken by the

or any to the following additional despatch, which we also received from Ottawa yesterday, showing oonelnsively that the Ottawa authorities recommended the granting of the amnesty as far back as the 20th September last, when there wa^ no prospect of an election East or elsewhere, wherein Hr.Launer should be concerned :\u2014 \u201cOttawa, 22cd NovM 1877.The Government here passed an Order in Council on tbe 20rh September last, to place O\u2019Doaehae on tbe seme looting as Ibe other Ikxth-West offenders.This, of coarse, was *»« before Laurier thought of contesting Quebec East.What now of the taunts of tbe Oppoeition in order to- detach from Mr.Laarier the Irish Catholic vote ?\u201d These despatches fully bear out the statements ot Mr.Lavrier and his friends in tbe connection since tbe commencement of the present coi test, and we therefore trust that we have heard the last of the braien denials of their adversaries on the subject.Tbe entire record is now before our Irish Catholic friends year\u2019s harvest, bat even that hope is powerless to arrest the misery and soffering now being .*nd red in British India.In face then of what we see and what we remember, we hsve good reason to rejoice when we see oar Usrvest safely gathered in, and good reason to come to His house with thanksgiving nal Press is a matter of cougratu lation, for no agency wields a stronger In fluence, and It is especially creditable that not a single obscene publicatien is printed in the country.The most wonderful consideration in regard to all these blessings is that we have deserved none of them.Sorely \u201cHe hath not dealt with us after on; sins, nor rewarded us according to our Iniquities.\u201d The preicher mentioned two distinct ways of expressing oor gratitude to Almighty God one by making a proper ose of the blessings we enjoy, and tbe other, by making a public acknowledgment of God\u2019s hand in tbe affaira of our daily life, as David says, \u201cin the presence of all the people, even in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.\u201d The Bev.gentleman concluded a most instructive sermoo, of which tbe aboye js but an allusion to some ot tbe principal points, by urging, that as angels aud saints in heaven join as in the act of thanksgiving, all should take part in it, the poor as well as the rich, tbe afflicted aud the vigorous, while the sad aud trembling voice of sorrow should blend with the general song of praise.and it is for th«m to weigh it calmly and offerings to fc?applied for braevoletf purposes.And althoffgn thd Alniighty does not dispassionately, and pronounce their verdict accordingly.Any mention of tbe alertneos of the City Police, which, by extraordinary implication, may be construed into a reflection upon tbe signal lack of that desirable characteristic in the Provincial Police, though such construction was furthest from our reporter\u2019s thoughts, has pretty much the same effect upon the «ttoeptible nerves of Le Canadien as a red rag has upon a bull or a turkey cock.Of course, we thoroughly understand that our contemporary is in duty bound to support Mr.Anger\u2019s pets, who, like very many other pets in this world, are more ornamental than useful.But we must object to the line of argument pursued in regard to the very interesting report we gave yesterday ot the desperate attempt at escape of the prisoner Sprung!!, as well as to the sneer conveyed at the City Police by Le Canadien and the obvious desire of that journal to see the end of justice defeated, as long as it is not done at the expense of the Provincial Police.Le Canadien makes little of the business, ÛtMmuch as, as far as its proteges are «oaoerned, the grapes are sour, and they have not had the honor of having performed one of the most successful deteo-ftivml exploits in our annals, which came properly within the scope of their duties, out which they had neither the skill nor the energy to execute.As for the question of our enterprise in the matter, all we can say is that if we had not chronicled the affair, Le Canadien would not have had an opportunity to indulge in its favorite pastime oi making itself ridiculous and thus rendering itself acceptable to its masters.It has therefore to thank, instead of reviling us.CHINA AND JAP.JN.'Bar-firmani Bradford ¦\u2014 Famine\u2014Pré- parafons for a Spring Campaign\u2014 S&oatilny to

sounder views are being established with reference to prosperity and its enioymente, and religion and its blessings.When tbe Church, Christ\u2019s body, has leavened society 'th her own true life and spirit, all social life amongst us will be truly Christian, and Christ and his Church will preside over our enjoyments, inspiring them with their truest happiness.As au uumistake-able proof ot what hns been gained already, there is now the annual observance of our day of Thanksgiving, aud the fact that year after year, people everywhere are associating tbeir joy in harvest directly with God, aud celebrating it in His Church.Regarding tbe vital principle of Christiau life that its joys are to be in the Lord, the revd.gentleman stated that even in the daya of Isaiah, meu brought their joy before G(xl aud found it in cieaaing a thousand fold.Christiana may rejoice in the Lord\u2019s union and sympathy with them, and in His human heart beating pulse to pulse to th' irs iu their happiness This, if fully realised, brings down into tbe Joys of earth, the very happiness of Heaven itself.This day\u2019s service of ptaise bas tended to remind ua that the bounteous harvest ia God\u2019s own gift, and that It was within His power to withhold it; and so we have been brought to realise in an increased degree, God\u2019s personal care and loving regard (or onr welfare, and tbe tact that our comfort and happiness are not disregarded of Him, that on the oontraiy they are dear to Him, and that He who wept with men on earth\u2014 now in Heaven, rejoices in our happiness Our feeble service of praise may have appear < ed to you too slight for this, hut may not His blessing fall upon it, as upon the slight aud transient means used by the farmer and blessed of God to secure tho riches of tbe harvest.Tbe preacher urged, upon all those present tbe daily practice of connecting all tbeir blessings aud comforts aud joys of every kind with God.Thus may be discovered also whether pleasures are innocent in themselves, by considering whether they may be brought before the Lord or into his presence.There may|be those who still, on a day like this, feel their happiness marred ly cares and sorrows.God offers them true and luting joys in return for tbeir sorrows, which are all known to him.Is there not joy in the iree and generous pardon which he offers them for all that is past, and the joy of security for eternity, which his changeless, boundless love holds out?There is a harvest in which it concerns us all most deeply to be prepared, ready to joy before tbe Lord.Beedtime and harvest upon earth will then be over, and tbe lut harvest of all will be reaped by the angels.There is joy in that harvest too,\u2014the joy of commendation.\u2014 \u201cWell done I good aad faithful servant,\u201d\u2014 the joy too of entering into the joy of our Lord tor evermore.The preacher conclude! with an appeal for the joy of the congregation to overflow in the generous offerings to the Pension Fund.Tbe collection in this church amounted to 971 60.Yesterday afternoon, Divine Service was held in All Saints\u2019 Chapel at 6 p m.Amount advanced by Uetd.Amount advanced by Graut

God is well pleased.\u201d The greatest of our blessings are those that are tbe most common, and becaase they are so common, moat apt to be disregarded.When it is considered, however, that the giving expression loour feelings, enlarges the source whence they flow, what is there more meet than to increase oar.thankfulness.To be thaakiul in beait is to begin the heavenly life on earth.Eat we must gather ap our feelings and crystallise them into actions, or they will evaporate io sentiment.The Bight Reverend preacher concluded an admirable sermon, by reminding bis immense congregation that their offerings were to be devoted to the maintenance of sick and infirm clergymen, and that tbe Almighty Giver of all goodness has or-dahud that none shall appear before him empty, but that each shall give, according to the measure whereby God hu blessed him.Immediately after ihe sermon, the collection wu taken up and found to amount to $44200.CONGREGATIONAL CHUBCH.A very hearty service wu held in the Congregational Chnrch on Palace street yesterday morning, conducted by tbe pastor, Uevd.H.D.Fowls.There wu a large attendance ot the usual congregation, and a very successful service ot prayer and praise took place, the hymns having been chosen in harmony with (he subject of the day.Tbe eermou wu preached by Mr.Powis, from Romans li., 22,\u2014\u201cBehold, therefore, the goodness .Of God.\u201d The preachei introduced his subject by an allusion to the proclamation of the Local Government, recommending the observance of Ue day, aud expressing his sense of the propriety of the act, with which he heartily agreed, hoping that such a day would become a permanent yearly institution.He further adverted to the two items of the proclamation, referring to oar freedom from evils which bad afoicted other peoples, and to tho bountiful harvest which had added millions of dollars to oor national wealth.As illustrative oi ^e troubles of other Dations, tbe preacher alluded to tbe fearful lamine in India, which had laid hundreds of thousands ofeur fellow-creatures in the grave, in what may well be regarded u one ot the moat fruitful ajad favored sections of the whole world.The revd.gentleman enforced the duties of the day, from Romans XI.22, \u201cBehold therefore tho goodness.of God,\u201d aud took occasion to show the benovojent nature of th*i Almighty in the various operations throughout the world ; showing further, that there are some unaccountable perplexities which no human fftind can solve, such as storms, and volcanic eruptions destroying cities, which are only exceptions to the gene» rat tenor of the beneficent operations of nature.He also contended that the greater portion of tne evils which affitet our race, are clearly traceable to man's imprndence, folly and aiu.This the preacher illustrated in a number of ways by many instances, os 8T.PETER\u2019S CHUBCH.Tbe service in this church was held at half-past seven last evening, and condncted by the Brcior, M.M.Fothergill.The regular form of eveuiog prayer was read, with the addition of the colltcts and other sprctal portions of the thanksgiving service, and (he hymns were car - lolly so-lectsd to harmonise with the subject of the day.The sermon was preached by tbe Sector from Psalm CXLV1I.i \u201c 0 praise the Dotd, for it is a good thing to sing praises unto oqr God; yea, a joyful and pleasant thing it is to he f ithful.\u201d Tbe reverend gentleman commenced by alloding to the ^nmerous instances of ingratltqde recorded in'Holy 5C7lPlur*i especially in the history of the people' of IsmC.', whjae continued lack of gratitude had at lost rôsuitéu .*2 tb«lr gallon being a by-word amongst other peopir.He thought it well tha: we should all iook into our own lives and see whether we were not more or less guilty of the same base crime.If we could accuse ourselves of a lack of rectitude towards our fellow men, bow had we failed in our doty towards the Almighty, ou whom we have to depend, not only for tbe daily bread for oor bodies, but also for tbe sacranunial food of onr rouis.Surely we should bless God for our creation, préservation and all the blessings of this life, for we hsye so much to be thankful for that other lands have not.If onr fields are mantled with snow earlier thau those of son e other cltmes, onr horns are foil with ail manner of stores, while onr fellow subjects of India are enduring all the evils of famine and tho fertile plains of southern Europe are being devastated by the horrors of war aud covered with tbe carcasses of the slain.The reverend gentleman alluded to the hearty service ot praise in the morning iu the crowded Cathedral, and stated that Lord Dufferin had added to his man?good deeds in Canada, in issuing his proclamation tor tbe observance of a general day of harvest thanksgiving tbroogbout the country.Lack of space forces us to pass over very many of tbe interesting points in this as iu the other sermons of the day, but the preacher concluded by deairiog his hearers to manifest their thankfulness iu a piocticol ipanner.ST.MATTHEW\u2019S CHUBCH.The service to St.Matthew\u2019s was alsojn the evening, and the interior of the sacred edifice had been beautifully decorated for the ccca-eion.The gas btauds were all wreathed around with grain in the stalk aud the font, reading desk, pulpit, Ac., were loaded with a tasteful display ot choice fruits aud vegetables.The service was read by Bevd.George Hamilton, and the musical portions of it were exceedingly well rendered by the choir, Mrs.Hatueriy presiding at the organ.The chorister boys in particular deserve credit for the ability with which they performed the choiua,,\u201c0 Lord how Manifold.\u201d Mr.Bur wood took a solo in \u201cThou vlsiteet the earth.\u201d The sermon was preached by Bevd.Charles Hamilton, Rector of St.Matthew's, from Isaiah IX.3, (the same text as that selected by the Bishop in the morDing)-4-\u201cThy joy before Tbee according to tin Joy in harvest.\u2019 Tbe revd.gentleman reminded bis hearers that the time was in the memory of many of them, when religion was regarded as intended only for seasons of distress, and as ill-soited, if not unfit for seasons of enjoyment.It was in fact shut out as pawalcome, and as inconsistent with times of prosperity and wealth and joy, A two-fold blunder took possession of tbe generality of society men aud women, s blander as to real enjoyment, and also os to real religion.Two things which God had joined together, they We have been requested to reproduce Ihe dtflerent

proposal which you have made.I have accordingly cabled to him to-day as follows : \u201cCompany agree to leave matters in dis-\u201cpute to Boss and Thomson.They claim \u201cthat you are bound to pay 66 per cent of \u201csecond issue, iu my oplnlou absurd, but tbey \"insiston Including this in arbitration : cable \u201cif you consent.\u201d As this message will not be delivered iu London until to-morrow morning, and as 1 am aware that Mr.Seed is usually out of town on Saturday, it is not probable that any answer will be received before Monday morning.As it is quite probable that Mr.Reed, may refuse to accede to this proposal, at least, until he receives further communication from me by letter Ji think it right in the interest of a settlement of this, to me, extremely unpleasant matter to make tbe following proposal.I was not aware until ocr conversation yes-teiday,tbat tbe Company or the directors seriously believed that Mr.Reed bad In any way undertaken to advance them on the second issue of debentures £66,000 or 9326,000, but for the moment assuming this view to be correct the position In round figures would stand thus :\u2014 $246,000 or iu other words a balance would remain due to the Company by Mr.Reed of $80,000.Deduct this amount from the total of Mr.Rood's advance, it would leave a balance of $66,000 admittedly due to him by the Company even on tbeir own «hewing.Without refereuce to the accuracy ot these figures, which 1 have made up hurriedly, I now propose that, If the Company will give a confession of judgment in favor of Mr.Reed for this balance, I will allow tbe remainder of this question to be decided by a friendly suit before tbe Court, aad will undertake to discontinue all personal proceedings against the directors.My object in writing this letter and making this proposal, Is to make it clear to you that my earnest desire is to avoid as for as is possible, consistently with my dntyto my client, tbe exceedingly unpleasant legal proceedings against yourself, which are now going on, and which may yet be taken, and also in the event of any disastrous results foi-lowlog from them, that I may be hereafter able to show that they have been rendered necessary, not by any desire on my part to proceed with them, but by your refusal to accept so reasonable a proposal as that contained Iu this letter.I remain, Yoars truly, (Signed,)\tU»o.Ixvm \" Nothing having been done, and the last proposal made by the President not having been accepted, the following was submitted to Mr.Irvine :\u2014 Qoxuo, 22nd Jane, 1877.Mr.Beaudet will submit to the Board of Directors, aud recommend for acceptance the following proposals 1st.That tbe second issue of the bonds of the Company shall be divided and distributed at tbe rate of 66 per cent of the debts per bond between all tbe creditors of the Company, except holders of bonds of the first issue.2od.That the Company shall ask at the next session of the Legislature :\u2014 (a.) The declaring valid of all the bonds entrusted to Mr.Reed.(6 ) The election in future of five directors out of nine by tbe holders of the bonds distributed as above, with power to the board thus constituted in case of non-payment of tbe interest, to band over the road to the bondholders.(e.) A declaration of non-responsibility of the directors by reason of their delivery of debentures to Mr.Reed, and of tbe acts of the latter.3rd.That Mr.Reed and the parties interested, over whom he has control, as well as those represented by Mr.Irvine, will support tbe petition for such legislation, aud will suspend proceedings until then.4tb.That |he Company will carry oat from now until then tbe different clausei the lease.Tbe following was the reply : Union Bank Boilouss, Quebec, 26th June, 1877.Memorandum on a proposal for tho settle-ment of affairs in dispute bstweeq tbe Levis and Keun: bee Railway Company and J.L Out tlalra Out \u2014it May triave You** 1^1 Ta.There is no person Hying but what suffers more or less with Lung Disease, Coughs* Colds or Consumption, yet some would die rather than pay 76 cents for & bottle of medicine that would cure them.Dr.A.Botiohee\u2019s German Hyrup has lately been introduced in this country from Germany, and its wonderous cures astonishes every one that try it.If you doubt what we say in print, cut this out and take it to your Druggist and get a sample bottle for 10 cents and try it* or a regular sise for 75 cents.October 12, 1877.\tF-Lm-dAw Pkyah's Wavers (the great public remedy) have now been in one over twenty years, bence it cannot bs ea'd that tbey ate on trial.They have been tboiougbly tried, an!

CHAPTER XVI.naif Aso laruut Strange as it may appear, oar qaiet little home wss not yet distorted by that great discovery of gold.The Sawyer went op to the summit of esteem in public opinion ; but to himself and to ns he was the same as ever H* worked with bis own hard bands and busy bead jast as be need to do ; for although the mill was still in rains, there wa plenty of the finer work to do, which always required hand-labor.And at night be would sit at the \u2022od of the table farthest (rom the fire place, with his spectacles on, and his red cheeks glowing, while he designed the fotnre mill which wss to be built In the spring, snd tmascend every mill ever besrd, thought, or dreamed ot We all looked forward to a quiet winter, \u2022sag with warmth and cheer in-doors, and bright oatside with sparkllcg trees, brisk sir nod frosty appetite, when a foolish Iris* arose which spoiled the comfort at least of two of ns.Ephraim Gandry foand oat, or fancied that be was entirely filled with love of a very young maid, who never dreamed of such things, and hated even to hear of them ; and the maid, unluckily, was myself.During the time of his ailment 1 had been with him continually, being only too glad to nssaage his pain, or tarn bis thoughts sway from It I.partly suspected (hat he bad in curved his bitter wound for my sake ; tboogh I never imputed bis seal to more than a young man\u2019s naicral wrath at an outrage Bot now be left me no longer in donbt, and made me moot uncomfortable.Perhaps I was haid open him, and afterward 1 often thought \u2022o, for ha was very kind snd gentle ; bat wae an orphan child, and bad no one to ad-wise me in such matters.1 believe that he she old have considered this, and allowed me to grow a little older ; bat perhaps be him \u2022all was too yoaog as yet and too bashful to kaow how to manage things.It wss the wwy evening after hie retain from Sscra-mento, and the beaniy of the weather still \u2022bode in the soft warm depth around us.In «very tint of rock and tree and playful giaa, of river a quiet clearness seemed U«J and a rich content of color.The grandeur of the world wa* such that one could only rest among it, seeking neither voice nor thought Therefore I was mere surprised than pioairrl to hear my nsme ring loudly through the echoiog hollows, and then to see the bushes shaken, and an eager form leap out, I did not answer a word, but sat with wreath oi white bouvardina and small adi \u2022atom round my bead, which 1 bad plaited Anyhow.\u2022«What a lovely dear yon are I\u201d cried Firm \u2022ad tàen he seemed frightened at his own «I had no idea that you would have finished your dinner so soon as this, Mr.Firm.\u201d \"And you did not want me.You are vexed to too me.Tell the troth, Miss Bema.J always tell the truth,\u201d I answered ; \u201cand I dtd not want to be disturbed just now.I have so many things to think of.\u201d \"And net me among them.Ob no, of course you never think of me, Erema.\u201d \"It Is very nnkind of you to say that,\u201d I answered, looking cleurly at him, as a child looks at a maa.\u2018«And it is not true, I assuré you, Firm.Whenever I have thought of dear Uncle Sent, I very often go on to think of you, because he is so fond of you.\u201d «\u2022But not for my own sake, Srems; yon \u2022ever think of me for my own sake.\u201d \"But yes, I do, I assure you, Mr.Firm ; I do gMhtly.There is scarcely a day that I do not real ember how hungry you are, and I think of yod.\u201d \"Tush I\u201d replied Firm, with a lofty gaae.«\u2022Even for a moment thit does not in any way express my meaning My mind Is very much shove all earing when It dwells npon you, Erema.I have always been food of you, Eroma.\u201d \u2022\u2022Too have always been good to me, Firm,\u201d I arid, as I managed to get a great branch between ns.\"After your grandfather, and Moan Isoe, and Jowler, I think that I like you best of almost any body left to me.And you know that I never forget your slippers.\u201d \"Erema, you drive me almost wild by never understanding me.Now will you just listen to a little common-sense ?You know that I am not romantic.'\u2019 \u2022«To*, Firm ; yes, I know that you never did anything wrong in any way.\u201d «You would like me better if I did.What an extraordinary thing it L§ I Ob, Erema, T beg yodi purdoo.\u201d He bad toeo In a moment, as men seem to do, when they study the much quicker face of a girl, that bis words bad keenly wounded mo thst I had applied them to my father, of whom I wss always thinking, though I scarcely ever spoke of him.Bot 1 knew that Firm had meant no harm, and I gave him my hand, though I could not speak.\"My darling,be said, \"you are very dear to me\u2014dearer than all the world besides.I will not worry you any more.Only say that f ou do not hate me.\u201d \"Hew could I ?How could anybody T Now ftat us go in and attend to Uncle dam.He Ifolnks of everybody before himself.\u201d \"And I think of everybody after myself.Is that what yon mean, Erema?\" \"To be sore 1 if you like.You may put any msa.\u2019ting on my words that yon think proper I am toenstomed to thiaga of that sort, and I pay do Attention whatever, when I am perfectly certain that 1 am right.\u201d \u2022\u2022I see,\u201d replied Firm, applying one Huger feo the side of his nose in deep contemplation, which, of all bis manners, annoyed me most, being siigbtly crooked.\u201cI see how erally «-ailed \u201c«he female kiad.\u201d Accord log to bis ideas (and perhaps they were not so onususl among mankind, especially set-tiers), ail \"females\u201d were of a good but weak and consistently inconsistent sort.The surest way to make them do whatever th-ir betters wanted, was to make them think that it was not wanted, but was hedged with obstacles beyond their power to overcome, snd so to provoke and tantalise them to set their hearts npon doing it.In accordance with this idea (than which there can me none more mistaken), he took the greatest pains to keep me from baving a word to say to Firm ; and even went so far as to bint, with winks and nods of pleasantry, that his grandson\u2019s heart was set upon the pretty Miss Sylvester, the daughter of a man who owned a herd of pigs, much too near our saw-mills, and herself a young woman of outrageous dress, and in a larger light contemptible.But when Mr.Gandry, without any words, conveyed this piece of news to me, I Immediately felt quite liking for gaudy but harmless Pennsylvania\u2014for so her parents had named her when she wss too young to help It ; and I heartily hrped that she might suit Firm, which she seemed all the more likely to do as his conduct could i ot be called noble.Upon that peint, however, I said nota word, leaving him purely to judge for himself, and feeling it a great relief thst now be oonld not say anything more to me.I was glad that hli taste wu* so easily pleased, and I told Soan Isoo bow glad I was.This I bad better have left unsaid, tor it led to a great explosion, and drove me away Irom the place altogether before tbe new mill was finished, and beiore I should otherwise have gone from friends who were so good to me ; not thst I coaid have staid there mnch longer, even if this had never come to pass ; tor week by week and month by month was growing more uneasy ; uneasy not at my obligations and dependence upon mere friends (for they managed that so kindly that I seemed to confer the favor), bat from my own sense of lagging for behind my duty.For now tbe bright air, and the wholesome food, and tbe pleasure of goodness around me, were making me grow, witboct know ledge or notice, into tall and jnoi altogether to be overlooked young woman.I was exceedingly sby about this, and blushed If any one spoke of it ; but yet in my heart felt that it was so ; and how could I help it ?And when people ssid, as rough peuple will sud even Uncle Sam sometimes, \u201cHandsome is ss handsome does,\u201d or \u201cBeauty is only skin deep,\u201d and so on, I made it my doty not to be put out, bat to bear it in mind and be tbankfnl.And thongh I had no idea of any such influence at tbe moment, I hope that the grandeor of nature aronnd and tbe lofty style of every thing may have saved me from dwelling too much on myself, as Pennsylvania Sylvester did.Now the more I felt my grown-op age and health and buoyant vigor, the sorer I knew that the time was come for me to do some good with them ; not to benefit tbe world in general, in a large and scattery way (as msoy young people set oat to do, and never get any farther), but to right the wrong of my own boose, sod bring home jastice to my own heart.This may be thought a partial and paltry object to set oot with ; and it is not for me to say otherwise.At tbe time, it occurred to me in no other light except as my doe business, and I never took any large view at all.Bat even now I do believe (though not yet in pickle of wisdom) that if every body, in Its own little space and among Its own little movements, will only do and take nothing without pure taste of toe salt of justice, no reeking atrocity of national crimes could ever taint the heaven.Such questions, however, become me not.I have only to deal with very little things, sometimes too slim to handle well, and too sleesy to be woven ; and if they seem below my sense and dignity to treat of, I can only say that they seemed very big at tbe time when I bad to encounter them.For instance, what could be mure important, in a little world of life, than for Uncle Sam to be put ont, and dare even to think ill of me?Yet this be did ; and it shows how shallow are all those theories of the other sex which men are so plessed to indulge in.Scarcely any thing could be more ridiculous from first to last, when calmly and truly considered, than the firm belief which no power of reason could for tbe time root out oi him.Uncle Sam, the dearest of all mankind to me, and the very kindest, was positively low enough to believe, in bis sad opinion of tbe female race, that my young head wss turned because of the wealth to which I had uo claim, except through bis owu justice.He bad insisted at first that the whole of that great ungget belonged to me by right of sole discovery.I asked him whether, if sny stranger had found it, it would have been considered bis, and whether he would have allowed a \"greaser,\u201d npon finding, to make off with it.All the thought of this, Mr.Gan dry gave a little grant, and could not go so for as to maintain that view of it.Bat he said that my reasoning did not fit ; that I was not a greaser, bat a settled inhabitant of the place, and entitled to ail a settler\u2019s rights «hat tbe bed of the river wonld have been his grave bat for the risk of my life, and therefore whatever I found In the bed of the river belonged to me, and me only.In argument be was so much stronger than I coaid ever attempt to be that I gave it op, and could only say that if be argued forever it coaid never make any difference.He did not argue forever, but only grew obstinate and unpleasant, so that I yielded at last to own the half share of the haillon.Very well.Every body would have thought, who has not studied the nature of men or been dragged through it heavily, that now there coaid be no more troable between two people entirely trusting each other, and only anxioas that the other should have the best of Yet instead of that being the case, tbe mischief, the myriad mischief, of money set in, until I heartily wished sometimes that my miserable self was down in tbs hols which tbe pelf had left behind it.For what did Uncle Sam take into his head (which was fail of generosity snd large Ideas, so loosely packed that little ones grew between them, especially about womankind) \u2014what else did he really seem to think, with tbe downright stubbornness of all his thoughts, but that I, his poor debtor and pensioner snd penniless dependent, was so set np and elated by this sadden tocess of iortane that henceforth none of tbe sawing race was high eoongh for me to think of?It took ms along time to believe that so fair ftnrj jojt a man ever coaid set such construction apon me.And when it became too plain ri»** be did so, traly I know not whether grief or anger wss uppermost in my troubled heart.(To Im eontimuea .) u L.S.L.N PRECEDE NT ED ATI R ACTION t Over Haifa Million Diatributed.Louisiana State Lottery Oo\u2019y.i inm~\t| This Institution wa* regularly incorporated by the Legislature of the Stats for Educational - -\ta\tn 1X1 V\ta*.\tLJ 4,\tI and Charitable purposes, in 186S, with a Mo.\t4»\ttfumnen\tSl«|\tDOStOQy\tloapltal of 91,000,000, to which it has since (Opposite Revers Hease.)
