that found, we will then find our way along the line by the blazes on the trees, and the numbers on the corner {Mists will guide us to the lots, and if the survey he of recent date all will lie olsin and easily found, hut if old the numbers uikI corner pest* may be bard to find, and the b\u2019az * will he all sealed on the living trees with t he ha>k, and with only a flight scar left to indicate wh» re they were.However, if any doubt ex let* about what ia thought to be a marked tre), we have only to remove the bark, and if the tree has been blazed it will show the mark.By theete means lot a'ter lot, ami range after range, will have to ! efore you are aware of his presence : or the nest of tbe hornet may lie rudely jostled, and 1m-fore you are are aware you will be struck with the burning sting of remorse ; or the continual buzz of the inuequito will keep you in constant dread of his proboscis.The silent \" hull dog\" which bites before he harks, and myriads of other blood-suckers, will forcibly remind yon that you are a stranger in a strange land, and before you can effect a quiet and peaceable uettlemont in the wilderness you will have to overcome a host of mighty foes.This first difficulty got over, the next will be how to get shelter.A site for the shanty must b?found on an t mint nee, to ensure good drainage, with a Hilling or running stream of pure water near by.Then begins the clearing.Next, with neighbors\u2019 help, he is housed.And now he has before him no \"job,\u201d but a long lease of difficulties, of at least ten or twelve years of patient toil, before the forest will be transformed into smiling cornfield* and pasture walks fur flocks and herds.He will have to ply his axe with a will if in that time he intends to have fifty or sixty acres cleared of the timber.Many days will he have to labor from snn to sun to get rails and fence his crop ; and happy will he be if he has not to fight fires to save both crop and buildings for the vegetable mould and moss on new land (especially wood land) are of such a nature that they cany fire like a train of guniwwder.Often the farmer has to look on as ACHES UPON ACRES OK HIS CROP IS BURNT UP while hu is {Miwerltss to prevent it, and in such cases, if bis buildings are spared he has reason to be thankful.The lecturer next took up tbe difficulties of finding a home on the Western prairies\u2014those fertile plains that are ready for the {dough, and only need to bestirred to cause them to yield not only the necessaries hut also tiiu luxuries of life for many millions of the earth\u2019s population.And here there are no monarchs of the forent to obscure the view or receive the marks of the surveyor\u2019s axe to guide the emigrant in his search for land ; hut a great, wide waste.As far as the horizon will permit the vision, nothing is to be seen hut level plain or undulating prairie, and the patient ox (which might be termed the ship of the prairie) has to be pressed into the service of man.If the emigrant seeks a home in the United State* territory he must wait for company and go with many waggons, because of hostile Indians ; often have the waggons been arranged to aerve as a slot kade for the defence of the poor stranger from hia swarthy foe, and often have whole companies been cut off by those ruthless savage*, their blood poured out on the prairie grass, and their hones cast into a rude, unknown grave, or left to bleach on tbe plain.ISut if they escape danger and arrive safely at their destination, they then select their homesteads and form a settlement fur mutual defence and protection.Another difficulty which emigrants on their way to the North-West Territory of the Dominion of Canada will meet, is the scores of runners who infest the route of weatem travel.A great portion of the United States land has been given to companies for the constriction of railways.and tnese companies have their runners sdl along the western lines for the purpose of inducing the emigrant to settle on such lands.He ia often induced to pay from $r> to $10 per acre, and interest, upon the representation that the land will pay for itself long before the term of credit expire*.Such land is often beyond the rain fall and wants to be irrigated, or some untoward circumstances happens, or the stranger has been taken in and after years of toil and industry he finds he cannot meet bis payments, and fo has to give up all to his creditors, lose what he has paid, and face sll bis difficulties anew with sn empty pocket.The lecturer said it is, therefore, of the hrst im- Crtsnce that emigrants who start for Dominion ids should proceed direct to Emerson or Winnipeg, and with the assistance of the surveyors\u2019 notes, which he should cod salt lief ore starting, should fix on some particular district ; if possible, join a company of .say five or six, get an ox and cart, and start without loss of time.These notes are plain, simple, easy to understand, and can be relied upon.And if a stranger be guided by the information they supply, half of bis first difficulty of finding land will lie overcome before starting, because he will £o to a certain locality fixed upon, where he will find the land that will suit his choice.But it often happens that more than one selects the same lot, and in such cose the one first at the land office gets it, snd the other has to go bock to make another choice.In order to avoid this, it is a good plan to select first, second, third, fourth ; so that 11 the first be gone, then take the ncond, and so have only to pay $10 office fee and get {«osvesHion.Then if he is single and without means, his best plan will he to arrange with some one to break, say, five to ten acres for him, which will cost him $4 per acre, and go to work without loss of time to earn money to pay for breaking, buy an ox and plough, and also things for fixing upahome.But if there)» A FAMILY IN THE WAT that will 1» another diflicnlty to be provided for.In that case a shelter must 1m> found for wife and children first, as the price of board would take too much of his means.Therefore it Is best to leave the family in the East, if that can be done, until a home can be made in the West.One man left here last spring without means, took land in Manitoba, and by nis work on the railway earned enough to pay for breaking five acres, buy sn ox, besides sending a little to his wife.He will also he able to |»y her fare with the first narty in the spring, when he expects to have his house ready to receive his wife and child in their new home, where with God\u2019s blessing they will est their own potatoes and vegetables from the end of July, and reap enough in harvest time to meet their wants until next harvest.Thus, in one fesur and four months from the time he left Montreal, if the Lord pros|>er him, he will be \u2022able to raise from his own 100 acre.» of laud \u2014 which coat him only $10\u2014all the uocessariee of life, and the first difficulty will be fully overcome.Although there ore yet many more difficulties before him ere his HUOAD ACRES CAM UK TURNED INTO FIELDS OF YELLOW UHA1N, yet how comparatively easy will this tie accomplished! Next year he will join his neighbor, and they will break laud together - say fifteen acres for each, which will make him twenty acres.For the folio wing years he can, if spared in health, with one pair of oxen break thirty acres each year, which will give him at the end of five years 140 acres of clear land without stump or stone, and certainly equal to any in Ontario or Quebec a result which, it 1* doubtful, if any one could accomplish in hi* lifetime on wood land.Those who were here Tuesday evening week will remember that our chairman then referred to the ease of his sou, who bos been five years settled in the district of Algoma, ami who has sixteen acres cleared as the result of hi* labor for that length of time.He is contented, and think*, he has done well, and if we could have watched him those five year* we would bar* eeen that he did not eat any idler'* bread.In conclusion the lecturer said : We have now glanced at a few of the many difficulties to be overcome by the settler on wild laud, and although the facts are few they will bear investigation, and they are sufficient to indicate which is tbe bett, safest and most likely place f< r a man to find a comfortable home in the (hottest time, and with the least amount of labor.I have taken up the settlement of bush land first, because our ideas of beginning country life are very generally formed upon the basis of the difficulty of clearing buah land, and aoacttle-mc-i.t on wild land has come to he looked uiiou as comfort to the children at tbe cost cf a life of toil and hardship to the fathers ; whereas the facta are, if prairie land be chosen, the readiness with which it can ha ploughed, and the abundance of food for cattle that exists upon the wild prairie enable the settler to keep as many cattle as he can buy and keep in a stable composed of four walls (which costs very little, having a stack of hay for a roof).These are the things that make all the difference between bush and prairie land and enable the settler on the latter to find all the comforts of civilized life hi a very few years.Air.Ritchie announced that his lecture next Tuesday night would be on the certain success which awaits the persevering settler on wild lauds.THE PIONEER MISSION OF FRENCH E V ANG KI ilZATION.THE FORTY-SECOND YEAR OK A NOBLE WORK.The 42nd annual meeting of the *' French Evangelical Society of Grande Ligne.P.Q.,\u201d w as held Thursday afternoon in the basement of the Firet Baptist Church.The name of the society indicates the place where its work was flirt established, and not by any means that it is limited to that place or even it* immediate vicinity.One of the strongest churches belonging to the mission is that in Montreal, whose place of worship (every Sabbath afternoan) is the chapel at the corner of Dorchester and Hanover it reels, and whose able and eloquent pastor is the Rev.T.Lslleur, Secretary of the Society.Although originated in a very humble minner, by the lamented Aladame Feller, of France, and a very few co-workers, the mission ha* quietly, almost imi>erceptibly, and to a far great-» r degree than can ever be measured by human intellect, accomplished a noble and extenuire werk.\"Our missionaries,\" says the Secretary in his annual report, \"were God-sent laborers, who came lore with the )ole end in view of saving soul*.The direct and 1 in mediate work they i cjompUihed 1* already vast, comprising thousands of converts, tfie instruction of nearly two thousand pupils, who have passed irom oeo to five years in our institutes, and the establishment of nearly a score ot churches.\u201d The Fnmch-Cauadians, and especially those who have become Prctestunt*, (migrate in great numbers to the United States, and there a portion of the results of these labor* must lie looked for.A former lalrorer, the Rev.J.N.Williams, now in New England, says that bu is \"constantly finding in New England tbe fruit* of the Grand Ligne Mission occupying potitii-n* of influence here ; forming in centre* of French-Canadian population a nucleus, here and there, not only of converts from Rome who speak the French language, but who are also somewhat educated, having had the advantages of some of our mission schools, and who have thus been fitted to be fellow-la-borers with me and leaders in the mission work of the locality in which they live,\u201d 'i bis mission having gradually Ijecome more intimately connected with the Baptist denomination, and assumed more of a denominational character, the French-Canadian Alisnouary So ciety, whose anniversary was held last night, Crew out of the former ; and recently, the Prea-yt'-rian aupporters of the latter Society have withdrawn to establish a missionary work out of their own.The Church of England and the Methodist Church have since established mi*-siens, and \" all these,\u201d says the report, \" are BUT DEYELOriMO THE WORK begun, fostered and continued by the Grande Ligne missionaries.The real results of this woik ore not clearly known , for hundreds and hundreds have Income Protestants and joined English-speaking churches, not knowing sometimes that they owed their charge to these labors, while thousands of Roman Catholics who are still In the Church of Rome, and who may never have the strength and courage to come out, have been enlightened, moralized and even spiritualized by these labors and by their intercourse with French-Protestant converts.The result which this Society is.therefore.endeavoring to ex-tendis \"to change the ideas,sentiments.nnn religious vit ws of Roman Catholics around us,and thus prepare the ground for a future reformation on a large scale.\u201d The receipts of the Society have been very rmall tbe past year, and were it not for a legacy from the late Alias Jenny Holies, of Hartford, Connecticut, the treasury would be in a deplorable state.THE SCHOOL AT GRANDE LIGNE.There are now\u2019 45 pupils\u201428 boys and 17 fills\u2014in the Feller Institute at Grande Jgne.A larger number than this were refused admission for two irresistible reasons : want of room and want of means.The school, such a* it is, is doing well, and a good spirit pervades it.Besides Pastor Roussy, the senior missionary, who bss the pastoral oversight of the pupiU, there are as teachers : Principal and Madame Roux, an English teacher, Air.AIsss.- and pupil teHchers.\" Our English teacher,\u201d reporta the Principal, \" before Christmas was Ails* Deering, of Portland, Maine.She was clferod a very honorable situation in the State Normal School at Duiham.Me., recently opened, and the committee felt constrained to release her from her engagement.Her departure was a heavy loss and a real grief to us all, teachers and, pupils, bnt her heart Is still with us, and wo are nappy to say that she has procured foi us.In the person of Alias J.Adams, of Portland, a most acceptable successor.\" The Principal acknowledges favors from the Ladles\u2019 Association* in Montreal, Brooklyn, N.Y., and Brandon, Vt., one copy of the Witness and two of L\u2019AURORI, and gifts from young friends of the \" Busy Bee Society.\u201d The want of funds has deterred hoped-for progreea in the erection of a commodious building at Grand Ligne.Two of the atndenta from this school are now pursuing studies in Alontrea), Mr.Brscq being in hi* second year in McGill College and Mr.Parent in the Normal SchooL MONTREAL STATION.\" imtwitout.interesting and growing as it is, i* more needy,\u201d the report sap, \" than any other y I aiir LAST -4^ Satckdit, Januast 25,1879.TUB MONTREAL DAILY WITNE8SL i 9 Jv need-» * pliu:« of wonbip of iU ow«, aod it Sr^*tl^ oeedit ft «uiUble Uboror to help the P**tor, Mr.Jftcroux, who for two ye*r* |»*«t hft* ftotod In that capacity aa a mualoB»ry colporteur torouKh* out the city, having Me to join the 1 lymouth Brethren.Mr.Bracect felt for Mr.banker and an Knglish citi/*-'i, followed olo«e In Bell by all the urighUtrltood was shown by the the rear of Napoloon in iXlo, a* if be foresaw ' lM|eMBglWfitldB m t on the melancholy MMf the fall of that glaut.The aim bad not set on , aion.composed aa it w*.ir uu all denominations Miscellaneous.the battle of Waterhw before the banker was well on LU way to London.He bought Kng-lish consol*, at that time very low in pile,-.When London beard the great new*, consol* lose and Rothschild sold.This transaction was entirely Koth»chi!d'like.In their transaction» chance is eliminated a* much perhaps *s it is possible in human affairs.Tho conception of these grand schemes i« clear »n p< w a a* filled, and benches ha«l to bo j.laced in the aUL* The servi -e* ha l begim.and the Rev.Mr Whiti >g wa* engagwl in the opening prayer, vvh-n a sudd-ucrash took place ;

Keep them in security until my rights are restored and recognized, How much Interest will you allow me ?\" \u201c In the disturbances of the time,\" replied Mayer Von Rothschild, \u201c I can promise nothing.It must be a very low rate, If any.You will have to tout me to pay what I can, when I am able to afford it.\" 1 \u2018 Very well,\" replied the elector, \u201cmy chief purpot-e is to secure them.From what I learn of yon, I cannot do lietter than to trust you.I must bid you adieu.\u201d Rothschild departed, received the elector\u2019s treasure on deposit, was enabled to loan it and reloan it to some advantage, but paid no interest on it for eight year*, after whicli he paid two per cent, for nine years, and returned it to tho elector s son in IS&t.Such, at least according to the legend, is the origin of that wonderful house of Rothschild, whose existence and operations are surrounded with something of the mysteries and dazzling spectacular display found chiefly in fairy romances and \u201c Arabian Nights\" tales.During all the troubles of Europe in the early part of the century Rothschild remained undisturbed.He negotiated two loans of ?4,000,000 each for Denmark, which, contemptible now, were enormous then.A Urge wholesale \u201c Van-kee Notions\" or dry goo.1.home might surpass them to-day.Mayer Rothschild had the faculty of turning all chancee to good account Just before his death in 1812 he called together hie tlx sons\u2014Nathan, Solomon, An-¦«\u2018line, Karl, Mayer and jArntw\u2014and taid to them : I want you to promise me on your eolemn oaths always to remain nnited in carrying on the operations of our house \" They swore as he a*Wed, but after his death aeparated ; or rather they divided Knrotie between them.They established their houses at Paris, Ixmdon, Frankfort, Vienna and Naples.Each one shared in the general operations-of the house, but had Individual supervision over his particular field.It was not a central bank with different branches ; there were five different houses, which if occasion required acted a* one.The Emperor of Austria ennobled all of them, aa if they were all the eldest, which is an Au*-trian custom.Their arms are five golden arr iws.By a remarkable coincidence, an ancient writer predicted that (-baron, who, according to the ol I myth, ferried people over the Styx, or river of death, and who gets his pay from the passenger*, would have a large income in the year 18.V», and *n (hat year Nathan, the eldest, and Solomon Karl, all died.Kverylsxly expected as each one dropped off to learn at least the secret* of that enormous banking-house.Bat there wa* T ^ smallest chance to look into their big books.Another Rothschild stood ready to take them from the dead man\u2019s hand*.The\u2019tirm is a dynasty.You can learn from it only tbst it Lae a secret i-f making money.because it require* a rapid glance over the whole list of these tirNt gicat «.)»< rations tlwre U the peculiarity of (\u2019hiLtophcr ( \u2019oluiJibus\u2019H famous egg trick.Dollars, like soldier*, need to be hurled en .,iect have been the greatest captains of the century.Capital has displaced men in the world of in-stry.Formerly a man was a producer or a gotfator, a borrower or a lender.Now.by t Mibatituthm of capital, he may he all of then-s| 'he same time.In Belgium and Spain the 1 > Im hildx are producer., of coal and quick-ni ver.By virtue of the railways they own, they are abo carriers ;

to Austria and t*> Italy ; to France and to Germany ; to Antoni Hi or Victor Emmanuel, Though empire* go down with a crash, the bouse of Rnthwhihl remains unmoved.They furnish the money to make war ; they furnish it to make peass.The conqueror owes them for hi* gun* ; the conquered owe* them for his ransom.Only once was there any disagreement known to have arisen between them.When Naples ceased to be a capital the Baron, Adolphe de Rothschild, removed his banking house from the city and demanded in ca*h\u2014his share of the common funds\u2014?15,000,000.But, perhap* recollecting the oath required by the founder of the house, the affair was arranged, and the different Rothschilds in all times of confaiiou and trouble have continued to utter tho same distinct watchword of business, even os at night the clocks of large cities regulated by one hand strike the hours at the same moment.When steam and electricity came into use the former great strides of speculation were no longer tmiuible.Bat the Rothschild* anticipated these inventions.The Barm James at Baris, it is said, hastened to s*i*e and u*e these new levers, which otherwise would have destroyed him.He was the principal projector of the French railways, and in said to have wept tears of joy ou sending tho tir*t telegram to San Francisco.He had calculated the difference of time lietween Baris and San Francisco, and knew that the answer would come during the day.Ife awaited it iu fe\\eri«li silence.It came at the hour he hod calculate.1.The Kothrchild* are for the most pirt Jews.The tomb of the Bari* family is opp >.,it,e that of Rachel in the cemetery of B,-re la Ghaise.An \u201c R\" is sculptured in relief ou the white stone of the rnodeet chapel.The enclosure in frout is sown with ]>ebble*.Every Jew who vi*iU a gnu e leaves a stone.The project of buying Palestine and reinstating the Jews has been attribute i to the Rothschilds, but as they have never taken any steps towards it, it is probable that they either never thought of it or speedily abandoned it \u2014 Ex.DIPHTHERIA.Speaking of this frightful complaint the tiri-tith Medical Journal says : Professor Klebe, of Prague, has recently performed a series of ex-perimi ids on himself and other persons to test the efficacy of benzoate of sola in destroying the formation of microscopic fungi in the bxly.He has found that it has procured relief in several cases of gastric catarrh and other diseases which are often noticed in persons who work a great deal among decomposed organic substances.In order, however, to oe certain of the antiseptic or antimycetic power of this drug, it was nM-esaary to find whether, when introduced into the body of a healthy animal, it would enable it to resist infection.Diphtberitic membranes were accordingly soaked for some time in Buchboltz\u2019s solution ; then mixed with benzoate of soda and inoculated u|>on the surface of several healthy animals, of which some had previously received a hypodermic injection of the above mentioned substance.It was then shown that, in those animal* which had had the injection, the diphtheritic mi-mhraue was destroyed in ten minutes, whilst it could be si t-n in the eye* of the others two hours after the oiwration.Klebs has administered benzoate of Hixla iu doses varying from five grammes to hi* patiente, who never e.x|>erienced the least inconvenience from it.DOMINION NEWS.WL'EUEC.Township or Brome.\u2014Messrs.W.W.Lynch and E.L.Chandler were re-elected councillors for this municipality.Sweethudrg.\u2014The retiring councillors.Hon.O.B.Baker and Dr.If.L.Fuller, were reelected Iby acclamation.The pertonncl of the Council thus remains the same as when the village was incorporated four year* ago, and there has never been a contest.In Cowansville the contest in the municipa elections wa* severe, snd the political views as well as the personal character of probable candi date* were discussed for several day* previous to the election.On Monday morning, a very large number of the electors assembled in Printing House Hall, and five candidates were put in nomination, viz : Messrs .Ta».O\u2019Halloran, 1).Main E.I).Fuller, G.K.Nesbitt and John Mossie, jr.\u2014Messrs.Fuller, Nesbitt, and Mair being the suceessful men.Resi i.t or Irregular Proceeding.\u2014Messrs.Racicot A Mitchell applied for a writ of W-our corput, on behalf of a prisoner named Archambault from Granby, confined in jail for selling liqnor without a license, on the ground that in Ihe warrant of commitment it was stated that the fine should be paid to the private prosecutor, whereas the law provides that all fines in such cue* should be paid to the Inspector of Inland Revenue.Judge Dunkin held that the application was well founded, and the prUon-r wa* released.ONTARIO.Cheese Factories.\u2014There are nine cheese factories in the township of Elms, Ont., the largest being the Klma Joint Stock Cheese Company\u2019s, who have received for their cheese this t-cason the sum of 310,1*21.211.Considéra RLE Excitement was caused by the rii«appearance some time ago of a lad named HalUro, Rent to Woodstock to school.A telegram was received at that town the other day, announcing the youth's arrival in England, where he has some relative».Profitable Bees.\u2014Mr.James Wells, who resides near Kingston, had last spring ten hive* of heee\u2014this fall he has thirty-one.From the whole he gathered 2,200 |>ounds of beautifully extracted noney, leaving tiOO pounds in the hive* for winter consumption ;

And he isn\u2019t n bit like a lily, Or any sweet blossom that grows, For no flower on earth, 1 am certain, Has a dear little cunning pug nose.He\u2019s himself\u2014full of mischief, tho darling, And naughty os naughty can be ; And I'm glad that he isn't angelic, For he\u2019s just the right baby for me.\u2014Harper i Bazar* A DEADLY CURE.At a large and influential meeting hold re ccntly in the Strand, London, Mr.Monroe, of Hull made thefollowing remarkable statement, which we give in hi* own words : \u201c Arc not medical men, by the promiscuous ordering of intoxicating drinks for their patients, an-wcrablo for much of the drunkenness w hich is now tho great curae of the land ?With regard to the prescription of alcoholic b< vernges, I will relate a circumstance which occurred to mo some years ago, the result of which made a deep impression upon my mind.I was not then u teetotaler\u2014would that I had been !\u2014but I conscientiously, though erroneously.believed in the health-restoring pro-l*ertic* of stout.A hard-working, industrious, God-fcai ing man, a teetotaler of some years' standing, suffering from an abscess in hi* hand, which had reduced him very much, applied to me for advice.I told him tho only medicine he required was rest : and to remedy the waste going on in hi* system, and to repair the damage done to hi* hand, ho was to support himself with a bottle of stout daily.He replied, ' I cannot take it, for I have boon some years a teetotaler.' * Well,\u2019 I said, 1 if you ^niow tatter than the doctor, it is no uec applying to me.\u2019 Believing, as I did then, that the drink would really be of service to him, I urged him to toko tho stout as a medicine, which would not interfere with his pledge.Ho looked anxiously in my face, evidently weighing the matter over in hi* miud, and sorrowfully replied : 44 4 Doctor, I wa* a drunken man once ; I should uot like to be one again.' \u201c Ho was, much against hi* will, prevailed upon to take the stout, and, in time, tie recovered from his sickness.Wheu he got well, I, of course, praised up the virtues of stout as a means of saving hi* life, for which he ought ever to be thankful, and rather lectured him on his foolishness for being such a fanatic as to refuse taking a bottle of stout daily to restore him to hi* former health.I lost sight of my patient for some months ; but on one fine Hummer's day when driving through one of our public thoroughfares, I saw a poor, miserable, ragged-looking man leaning against the door of a common public bouse, drunk, and incapable of keeping an erect position.Even in nis poverty, arunkenneas ana misery, I discovered it was my teetotal patient, whom I hail not so long ago persuaded to.break tho pledge.I could not ta mistaken.I had reason to know him well, for he had bwn a member of u Methodist church, an indefatigable Sunday-school teacher, a prayer-leader, whose earnest appeals for the salvation of others I hud often listened to with pleasure and edification.I immediately went to the man and was astonished to find the change which drink, in so short a time, had worked in his appearance.With manifest surprise, and looking earnestly at the poor wretch, I said, \u20188-lis that yon?\" With a stag- gering reel,.and clipping hi* words, he answered, 4 Yes, it's me.Look nt mo again.Don\u2019t you know mo Y 4 Yes, I know you,\u2019 I said, 4 and am grieved to roo you in thi* drunken condition.I thought you wen* a teetotaler.\u2019 44 With a peculiar grin upon hi* countenance, he answered, \u2022* I was before I took your meflic ine !\u2019\t4 I am sorry to see you dis- gracing yourself by such conduct.I am ashanud of you.\u2019 Rousing himself a* drunken people « üi at times, extraordinary effort j he ehaffingly replied, \u2018Didn\u2019t you send ui* here fur my medicine ?' and with a delirious kind of chuckle, he hiccoughed out words I can never forget: 4 Doctor, your mudioiae has cured my body, but it damned my soul !\u2019 41 You may rest assured I did uot sleep much that night.The drunken aspect of that man haunted me, and I found myself weeping over the injury 1 had done him.I rose up early tho next morning and went to his cottage, with its little garden in front, on the outskirts of the town, where I had often seen him with his wife, and happy children playing about, but I found, to my sorrow, that be had removed some time ago.At lust, with some ditliculty, I found him locuU-d in a couple of rooms in a low neighborhood, uot far distant from the {mhlic house ho hud patronized tho day taure.Here, in such a home as none but tho drunkard could inhabit, I found him laid upon u hid of straw, feverish and prostrate from the previous day's debaueh, roundly abusing his wife because she could not get him some more drink\u2014she standing aloof with tears in her eyes, broken down with euro and grief, her children dirty uud clothed in rags, all friendless, and steeped in poverty.What a wreck was there ! Turned out of tho church in which he was an ornament, his religion sacrificed, his usefulness marred, his hopes of eternity Masted, now a poor dejected slave to his passion of drink, without mercy and without hope.441 talked to him kindly, reasoned witli him, succored him till he was well, and never lost sight of him, or let him have any peace, until he had signed the pledge again.It took him some time to recover his place in tho church, but I have had the happiness of aeciug him restored.He is now, more than ever, a devoted worker in tho church ; and the cause of tem|>crauco is pleaded ou all occasions.Cil I LDUEN\u2019S CORNER.LAW BETTY\u2019S COOKINO-SCHOOt.(Concluded).ClIAlTER II.Y\u2019ou may ta sure I was punctual at the cooking-school the next morning.When I arrived Lady Betty and Helen Lome were already there, wearing long white aprons and white sleeves over their arms.The kitchen range was ready and a gas stove also prepared : pots and pans were scrupulously clean and ranged on the dresser, with crockery; und punctually nt ten the two assistant touchers and the pupils arrived.There were sixteen girls in this class, their ages ranging from ten to sixteen; and as they entered tney went up ut once to Lady Betty for a nolite \u201cgood morning,\" and tnen presented themselves to their individual superintendent.This lady examined their hands and nails, us cleanliness was of course enforced.The girls had each come in with a roll done up in paper which she opened and displayed a clean white apron, which wa* put on taforo taking her stand at her own compartment of the table.Each girl then stated to her teacher whether the contents of her drawer was in order and correct, and then each in turn named the dish she was to prepare, it having been given out the week previous.As un illustration I will give the first girl\u2019s statement : 44 Mary Ann Jones,\u201d said her teacher,44 what is your dish ?\u201d 44 Potato soup,\" said Mary Ann, her round country face beaming, for I assure you these little cooks delight iu their cookery.Teacher : What do you need for it F .Vary Ann : Six potatoes, four onions, four ounces of crushed tapioca, one pint and a half of milk, also butter, pepper and salt.It will make two quarts of soup and take one hour.\u201d Teacher : How do you make it F .Vary Ann : I wash and peel the potatoes and cut each up into four piece*.I cut tho onions np into pieces and throw them all into two quarts of boiling water.Lot them boil until soft\u2014about three-quarters of an hour.Then rub tho vegetables through a colander or wire sieve.Put them back to tho saucepan and add two ounce* of butter and a little Œr and salt.la*t it all boil up ; and when s I sprinkle in four ounces of tapioca.I .et it simmer fifteen minutes stirring carefully until it is quite clear, and then add one pint and a half of milk and warm it through.The next girl\u2019s dish was stated with a* great particularity.Hers was roost beef, and sho weighed tho piece, describing what part of tho animnlit was from; thetooehorexplaining anything sho did not understand.Tho next girl was to make Yorkshire pudding, that delicious accompaniment to roast beef always given in England.A small child present on being asked her task, replied: 44 To clarify drippings,\u201d and she gave a correct recipe and adaed to what use they were put.A second little girl had to melt down fat: and all these minor matters were done as systematically und perfectly a* the greater one*.The girls, I was told, had previously learned the recipes, out of a book, and they now pre- Surcd to make the dishes under superiuten-cnce.There was no disorder or confusion, although ten little girls, new pupils, were* brought in to look on taforo taginning work a few weeks later.Each girl was expected to begin and finish and serve up lier own dish.When the dinner wa* nearly prepared, a door leading into a second room wa* opened, and Mrs.Lome said to the class: 44 'Who are waitresses this week ?\" Two girls, whose dishes were cold ones and all prepared, stepped forward, and took trays from the dresser which they loaded systematically ; the little apprentices standing by and receiving instructions from Mrs.Lome ; they also followed the two waitresses into tho next room and saw them spread two long tables; the one I waa told for visitors ; the other for the shildren Visitors were allowed to eome every Saturday to dinner provided they applied for u ticket one week in udvunoe and paid sixpence (twelve cents) ; and thi* money, together with the two pence or three |>enco paid by the pu.pile, covered the greater part of the oxp(m*e«, the remaining sum taing made up by the entertainments of which I shall speak later, and the 44 orders\u201d for dishes.When the tables were ready Lady Betty and Mrs.Lome, who were standing in the circular table of which I told you, called out the list of dishes for the dinner in thi* way.44 Mary Ann Jones\u2014potato soup.\u201d Mary Ann smilingly presentca her tureen full of the fragrant soup, and a small portion was tasted by her teacher and pronounced all right.44 Ellen Govern roast beef.\u201d There were some criticism* made on the beef by the head teacher, and Ellen was told to eome after hour* and receive a little further instruc-tion.44 Kate Lewis Yorkshire pudding.\" 44 Nelly Neil\u2014baked potatoes and cauliflower.\u201d 44 Lizzie Mason\u2014plain custard.\" 44 Jenny Robin- bread pudding.\u201d Several other scholars showed special dishes iiiudo to order.All were neatly arranges! on a stand and ticketed with their owners\u2019 names.The little girls who hud been doing \u201c Beginners' Work\" showed their results; ouo siiisll person, not over seven years, had been making square s of toasted broad for soups, and four neat bags of the same were ready to bo taken out to fill an \u201corder.\u201d By tho timo the tables were laid, about eight visitors had arrived.Two of the girls, under a lady's superintendence, served tho tables, and the greatest neatness and particularity were observed.Tho pupils took turn* iu waiting on the tables, clearing them, and washing dishes, pots and pans.The meal ended end tho visitors gone, the girls re-assembled in tho kitchen, and the head teacher spoke : 44 Who are iu tho Cleaning Class this week ?\u201d Four girls immediately responded ; aud iu answer to a question one girl said she had the tins to clean, and for tho benefit of the 44 tip-prentioes\u201d briefly desoritad the process.An-otht i- had sieves and stew-pans a third had to dean tho range, while a fourth hud to scrub the wooden tables.When they had satisfactorily described their duties, four girls were appointed to be \u201ccleaners\u201d the fortnight following und adjourned idto tho next room with a teacher to write down at her dictation, directions for their work.1 wanted to sec how this was done aud so followed them.Tho four girls produced small notebooks kept for the purpose, und to each girl simple directions were given in this faddon : Teat her : Nelly Brown, you will clean tho tins next time Write down this direction : Rub the tins well with a paste of whiting und water.Rub off with a leather, and brush out all the dust with a soft brush.Polish with another leather.Clean the inside first\u2014why should you do this, Nelly F\" Nelly : Because in cleaning the inside I might get the outside dirty.Teacher : Kuito right.If the tins are very greasy or dirty, use table brick and water.In this way the four girls wrote down their 44 cleaning\u201d recipes, and a* they kept their hooks I am sun they proved very useful in their cottage homes.The next \u2022thing done was to summon all the class who were to cook at the next meeting aud give them their receipts.These were not only' dictated, but explained, aud neatly written down in the books, so that during the week or fortnight they could be committed to memory.Wheu this was done every* girl who had done her work well and conducted herself with general satisfaction was given a small blue ticket.Three of these, I was told, entitled a scholar to promotion ; that is to say, a little more elaborate cookery ; for example, on this day a girl who handed in three blue ticket», 44 went up\u2019\u2019 from simply heating eggs and pooling potatoosjo the first of thocookoddishos;dnd a girl who had only had simple \u201cboiling*\u201d in her charge was promote»! to the preparation of roast meats.By working gradually in this way details became indelibly established upon their young minds, and they learned to respect the trifling but all-important preparations for good cooking.Each girl taforo leaving tho kitchen had given to tho teacher superintending tho cleaning, all the utensils she had used, so that there wa* no disorderly hunting for dishes or spoon*; each one of tho \u201ccleaning class\" applied for her special articles, cleaned them and laid thorn neatly on the centre table.Help or special instruction were given, of course, wherever they were required, but iu general the girls knew what to do, having pro- Î\u2019rested so slowly in tho art.By half past our everything was in order; the good-byes spoken politely npon both sides, and it wa* pretty to see the little girls dropping a quaint, old-fashioned courtsey to their nuatressiv» when leaving.The same set of girls and teachers mot every fortnight ; a different class taking the alternate weeks.In this way a holiday wo* only given up twice a month, but I think the pupils of Lady Betty's school preferred coming to their cooking lesson* to any imaginable holiday.When the school hour* were over I found many questions still to ask and have answered.Lady Bitty und Miss Crawford came to tea at the rectory and wc chatted an hour over the drawing-room fire.Mr*.Lome impressed it upon us that iu any such scheme as thi* the utmost system and discipline wore necessary ; it taing, os sho said, tho only way to make it thoroughly successful.\u201cSome people,\u201d she said, \u201care so anxious, directly they undertake u charity or enterprise of this kind, to accomplish great result*.The cud of that sort of ambition is usually total failure.Everything then tacome* confused and nothing learned.Not only must the children or pupils progress slowly und quietly, but the tcMf\u2019lier* must adopt a careful system.Once a month there is u teachers' meeting, when tho statistics arc read out by the secretary, and tho different lady teachers or superintendents exchange their ideas.44 How many working teachers are there ?\" 44 Only five\u2014wc do uot care for a great many.There are four assistants ; all qualified to teach or siqierintend.Every teacher must know or loam something of cooking, and so tho classes are advantageous all around.\u201d 44 And how is the school supported ?\" I asked.44 Every teacher contributes a shilling (twenty-five cents) a week, every child who is taught pays three pence (six cents) weekly for her dinner, then the visitors pay one shilling each for their dinner, aud about four times u year we have an entertainment, and now that the school is far enough advanced, order* are taken from families for dishes every other week.In this way tho school is entirely self-supporting.\u201d 44 Next week,\u201d said Lady Betty,14 tho older class will cook.They are the furthest advanced.All the orders for dishes are sent in a week iu advance, and they are all cooked ou the Saturday following.One lady ha* that specially in charge.The girl* who cook the dishes ure obliged to write out a list of all the articles use»! in them, with the cost of each, and Lher arc given a few pence for themselves out of the money receive»!.I have next week\u2019s list in my pocket,\u201d aud Lady Betty read tho following : Apple fritters, Ice pudding, Meringues, Two quart* cold custard and jelly, Two pounds raisin cake, Two pounds seed loaf\u2014etc., etc.4* All these will ta cooked next Saturday,\u201d said lauly Betty with a little proud smile.44 But then,\" slu* added, 44 you should s»o our entertainment* if you really wish to judge of our proficiency.\u201d I agreed that it would give me the greatest pleasure, and wheu we had finished our ten, and 1 was alone in my own room for the quiet ,4 before dinner \" hour which trauquillizee Satceday, January 26,1870,', j every English country house, I wished that a ! certain town I knew of iu far-away America ;
