thelaritimeProvinces The Confederation of the Provinces and the opening of the Intercolonial Railway have vastly increased the business relations between the Upper Provinces and those by the sea.Nearly a million of people have by these means been added to the number of customers of Western producers.Business men in the West desiring to open new connections with the East, or to extend those already established, require the aid of the best medium they can obtain to introduce themselves and their products to the Eastern people.I\u2019o those having business in ova Scotia Proper, or the Island Cape Breton, an indispensable agent is the HALIFAX M0ENING CHRONICLE The Chronicle is the pioneerdailyof Nova Scotia, and has for many years held an unrivalled position as a political, commercial and general newspaper.It is an independent Liberal journal.No other paper in the Province has had so large a staff, spent money so liberally, or given so much reading matter to its patrons.In the matterof CIRCULATION, it is far ahead of all competitors.While conducting its business on terms that secure only the best class of readers, it has obtained through its superior merits a circulation larger than any\"of its contemporaries.Recently it absorbed (by purchase) the Citizen\u2014an old and widely-circulated ournal\u2014and by this means largely increased a circulation that was already the largest in the Province.This is no idle boast.We guarantee that the MuRNING CHRONICLE has a larger circulation than any other journal published in Nova Scotia.It is, therefore, beyond all comparison the BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM, SlIBSCKIPI10N-$6 PKB ANNUM IN ADVANCE.THE CITIZEN &N0 EVENING CHRONICLE is the largest and best evening paper in Halifax.To those who desire to reach the class of readers usually addressed by an evening paper, the Citizen and Evening Chronicle is a valuable advertising medium.TERRIS - - - $5 PER ÔNNUBI IN ADVANCE.Favourable arrangements can be made for

special of the 6th says the Treasury will issue a call to-day for ten million sixty-sevens.\u2014On Saturday the Continental Bank of New York subscribed for two millions four per cents, and First National Bank for five millions.\u2014The total imports at the port of Otta wa for the month of December amounted to $83,680 ; entered for consumption $52,-868 ; duty, $14,402.29.\u2014The failures in New Brunswick in 1878 numbered 138.The liabilities amounted to $1,517,372, and the assets to $795,739.This is a considerable increase over the failures in 1877.\u2014The announcement by a morning contemporary of the arrival at Halifax on Sunday of the mail steamer from Liverpool was incorrect.The steamer did not arrive until 8.30 p.m.to-day.\u2014A Halifax despatch of to-day says :\u2014 The Acadia Fire Insurance Company has declared a half-yearly dividend of ten per cent.The Merchants Marine Insurance Company has declared a dividend of $25 per share.\u2014An Albany (N.Y.) despatch says, the Superintendent of the State Banking Department will report the failures of three savings banks during the past year.In general the condition of the savings banks is sound.\u2014The London Times says £60,000 sterling worth of bar silver arrived on Saturday by the Plato and Chili packet.The whole was secured at 49| for Austria, from which quarter a slight revival of enquiry for some time past has buoyed up the market.\u2014A Washington despatch says the subscriptions to the four per cents to-day were $16,093,550.The seventy-eighth call for the redemption of 5.20 bonds of \u201965 consols

still further encouraging advices from the primary markets, together with a continued good demand from dealers and jobbers, has increased the firmness of holders and caused them to advance their demands while buyers have found it necessary to make higher bids in order to secure stock.Transactions exhibit an advance of fully one-quarter of a cent on our previous quotations, and yesterday at the close of business values were very firm on the basis of 14f@15 cents for Fair Cargo, and 11 j for Ordinary.Stocks are firmly held on this basis, and the market exhibits a decided upward tendency.Mild Coffees\u2014Stocks of all descriptions continue to be very firmly held at full values, and the market is firm.Of East India grades, Padang is generally held at 23 @ 23£ cents for invoices, bids of 22^ cents for Pale interior having in a number of instances been refused.Respecting this description Mesrs.O\u2019Shaugh-nessy, Sorley & Co., in their annual review of the market, say : \u201c The growing popularity of Padang Coffee has caused this article to be fully sustained, despite the spurious and artfully colored imitations constantly on the market.While with a fair supply for immediate wants, the market closes strong at 23 cents for invoices, the outlook for at least the first six months of the new year is encouraging for holders of Padang Coffee, as will be seen by the following visible supplies, viz.: On spot, Padang and Preanger.39 000 piculs, afloat 28,000 ; total 67,000.And when it is remembered that the December sale is only about 16,000 piculs, and

1849.Onr contemporary the Gazette has made one or two allusions to the conduct of this journal during the excited period of 1849.We do not like personal controversies, into which any such discussion as this must resolve itself.There is less apropos in such controversy, because those who were at the head of the two papers in those days are long ago dead.It would be as reasonable to make anybody now connected with the Herald responsible for the editorial management of the paper thirty years ago, as it would be to make the present managers of the Gazette answerable for the acts of their predecessors of that date.It is, of course, true that the present editor of the Herald was at that time on the staff of the paper; but in a capacity which involved no interference with or control over its policy.Although it is perfectly legitimate to refer to the acts of a party, whose history and tendencies are continuous because they arise out of ideas -ind principles, it is alike idle and impertinent to inquire into the conduct of individuals many years deceased, and hat is really what we arrive at by such allusions as those to which we refer Nevertheless, though all might fairly object to be judged by the Herald as it was thirty years ago, and though we have no desire to depreciate our contemporary for its course at that timej it so happens that all could stand the comparison between the two papers then as now without the slightest reason for apprehension as to the result.Not many men who were then in active life survive, but those who remember anything of Montreal in those days will recollect, what documentary evidence will support, that the then editor of the Gazette was universally regarded as one of the chief engineers of the disturbances which eventually deprived Montreal of the seat of Government.Day after day the most furious articles appeared in that paper; the English-speaking people of the country were urged in one of them to send the \u201c fiery cross \u201d throughout the country ; the editor in person was believed, and we suppose truly, to have incited those who led the mob, and he was\tarrested\twith the\tother persons\taccused of the\tseditious proceedings.\tThe worst\tconsequences\tof the\texcitement,\twhich he h id been the chief agent in promoting, found in him a zealous advocate, and the Governor-General was covered by him with personal insult.So were all those gentlemen who took part in cany-i ig the Rebellion Losses Bill.That Bill, no doubt, met with the opposition of this jousnal ; but it was an opposition of a strictly legal character, and the acts of violence which it degenerated were never spoken of in the Herald otherwise than with censure.In fact, those who were then in charge of this paper found themselves exposed to much censure and ill-will from those who, having passed through the stormy period since 1837, could not understand any kind of polemic which did not evidently lead to the armed suppression of those whom they still called rebels.For the moment, the Herald < f that day lost popularity among those whom it had every interest and desire to call its friends, by the marked difference established between its course, and that of the Gazette ; but the result fully justified\u2014as it has since done on somewhat similar occasions of complaint\u2014 the calmer and more reasonable line of policy.If the Herald had been the only Opposition journal, the seat of Government would be here to-day.It may be added as a fact, perhaps ha ing some bearing upon the use to which it is attempted to put these old time events, though but for that allusion, it would certainly be very impertinent, that, during the session in which the Parliament House was burned, the present editor of the Herald was much pressed to take charge of the organ of the \u201c l iberal\u201d Government of the day.Mr.Lafontaine was one of the gentlemen who made that request, and he was good enough, throughout the rest of his life, to treat the same Editor as a friend.We believe that the latter has never written a word which could cause ths late Judge, either as a gentlemen or a French Ganadian, to regret this kindness.It will be time enough to charge the Herald with disrespect to any class of our fellow countrymen, when the charge is accompanied by the specification\u2014that is to say, by the words on which the imputation is based.THE SANITARY SERVICE.We do not know upon whom the fault is to be imputed ; but though we hear a great deal about the Sanitary service of the city,the result seems to be equivalent, neither to the money nor the labour ex pended upon it.Take the very last return of our bills of mortality, and we see none of that reduction in the deaths from contagious diseases, especially from small-pox, which, ic seems to us, that we have a right to expect.On the contrary, the deaths from this disease are more numerous than ever, though it still clings, and almost exclusively, to its old haunts in those parts of the city where vaccination is neglected.Other diseases attack all alike ; and we may note especially the frequency of diphtheria in the most expensive residences.But smali-pox is rarely seen wnere vaccination prevails.It is, indeed, generally understood that the opposition to this prophylactic is less obstinate than it was, since some of the clergy undertook the humane and benevolent task of explaining its merits.Yet we still have more deaths from small-pox in a week, with a population of some 100,000, than the City of London has in a month with 4,000,000 of people, and this during what is there spoken of as the disease in an epidemic shape.There is no doubt as to what serves as a protection there ; nor did the authorities of our own London in Ontario, nor those of the Empire of Brazil hesitate as to what they were to do, when they were threatened with a calamity which is chronic among ourselves.But, as we have said, this argument is now less important than it once was, because the people are reported to be less reluctant to accept the remedy.Still the ravages of the disease continue.Is there not in this some indication of a want, not of the necessary force, for that, so far as we can judge, is adequate ; but of the organization and energy which renders efficient the application of the force at our disposal P We are not going to cast blame, still less to distribute it ; but when the Metropolis of England, even at a time when there is a temporary augmentation of small-pox attacks, escapes with two, three, or four deaths a week, is it not fair to ask whether it is beyond the reach of our zeal, skill, and management to reduce our mortality from this cause, at least to the metropolitan standard.SINGULAR LIFE INSURANCE CASE.A man named Wackerle, formerly of Milwaukee, had for wife a woman whom he describes as a regular vixen.She> however, prevailed upon him to insure his life, which he did in two offices for $7,000.After a time bethought it best for his comfort to leave the lady, and accordingly turned his property into money to take away with him; but the night before the day on which he was to say good bye, Mrs.Wackerle took posses-sion of the cash and lie had to go away without it.After two returns home, at her request, he went to California.Then hie wife got tired of single blessedness and set out in pursuit of him ; but, as he had purposely misled her as to the direction of his journey, she vainly sought him in Texas-But something turned up that seemed to her to suit as well as the discovery of her husband.A railway accident occurred, and there was a body that no one could identify.Mrs.Wackerle saw it, cried over it, claimed it as the man* gled remains of her dear departed husband, and had it buried with solemn signs of woe.Then she went home, and, in irreproachable weeds and weepers, called on the Insurance Companies, with tears in her eyes, and asked for $7,000.These hard-hearted Corporations refused.The disconsolate widow sued.Of course no jury could resist such a plaintiff, and sue got a verdict.However, a new trial was ordered, and, in the meantime, Wackerle himself has turned up, though his widow protests that she never saw anyone like him.So, at all events, runs the story.COMMET?HA?1,1 -j.\t.1 THE RUSHAN D MURDER TRIAL IN NOR WICU, CONNECTICUT.The trial of Kate Cobb for the murder of her husband by poison is still proceeding at Norwich, Conn.The experts in chemistry having been hard at work on the question, whether there was enough arsenic found in the stomach of the deceased to produce death, a witness of a different kind has now ap-peared.This is a man named Wesley Bebop, the supposed paramour and accomplice of Mrs.Cobb, who has become State\u2019s evidence, as he has sworn, without having had any inducement held out to him.According to this man\u2019s testimony it was agreed between himself and Mrs.Cobb that they should remove the obstacles to their marriage, by the murder of Cobb, and the divorce of the Bishops.In pursuance of this agreement Bishop procured for Mrs.Cobb several lots of arsenic and eventually of strychnine for her to administer, and fiom time to time she told him that she had administered these drugs.Cobb malingered some time before his death, and even tually died with symptoms very much like those which are usual >n cases of poisoning.Mrs.Bishop also died about the same time.No decision has yet been arrived at by the jury.THE LATE MR.TREMBLAY.We yesterday briifly alluded to the demise of the member for Charlevoix, who, by his great force of character and integrity, had done much to elevate his countrymen.Mr.Pierre Alexis Tremblay was a French-Canadian by birth, and was born on the 27th December, 1827.He was educated at the Quebec Seminary, where he was looked upon as one of its most brilliant scholars.After leaving College he studied engineering, and was a passed Provincial Land Surveyor.He early manifested a strong penchant for politics, joining, like many more of his intelligent young countrymen, the Liberal party.In 1857, he was an unsuccessful candidate for the United Counties of Chicou tim' and Saguenay in the general election for the House of Assembly.In 1865, however, he was more successful, and sat for the constituency up to 1867, when, consequent upon the Confederation of the Provinces now forming the Dominion, a new election took place, and he was again returned to the Dominion House of Commons, which he held until the election of 1872.At the elections following the resignation of the Macdonald-Langevin Government in 1873, through the disclosures in connection with the now celebrated \" Pacific Scandal,\u201d Mr.Tremblay was again returned ; .his time as the member for the County of Charlevoix, and a strong supporter of the Mackenzie-Dorion Government.He had for his opponent in the contest the Hon.P.J.O.Chauveau, the present Sheriff of Montreal.In 1876\u2014having been unseated in the interval\u2014he again contested the seat with the Hon.H.L.Langeviu, and was defeated by a small vote, which, as afterwards turned out, was got by means not creditable to Mr.Langevin, and which eventually unseated him after the case had been carried to the Supreme Court.At the recent general elections Mr.Tremblay was returned for his old constituency by a majority of 100 over his opponent, Mr.Adolphe Gauthier.He had also sat in the Quebec Assembly for Chicoutimi and Saguenay, from the time of Confederation until 1874, when, dual repiesentation being abolished, he resigned his seat and remained in the Commons.What Mr Tremblay will be chiefly remembered for is the strong resistance made by him 11 that undue interference in elections by the clergy, which seems to us, at all events, to be destructive to all free electoral judgment on the temporal concerns of any country where it is successfully practised\u2014which seems also, in many countries, to have ended by confounding politics and religion together, and making the clergy obnoxious to half the people.It has been thought by some that Mr.Tremblay\u2019s modest and Christian appeal from his death-bed for forgiveness was an acknowledgment of wrong in the course he then took.It is not for us to descend into the private conscience of any man, and least of all into that of one of another creed.But we may be permitted, with due respect for all concerned, to say that we did not so read Mr.Tremblay\u2019s dying message.Knowing that we all offend, especially when engaged in duties, which ho vever necessary tend to excite the passions, he did not conceive himself to have been free from the errors to which men in such careers are liable.For all such though he could not particularize them, and was unconcious of them, he asked forgiveness, as all have to ask forgiveness from his Maker and from his fellows.But this was put entirely as an hypothesis, and not as an acknowledgment of a known and definite sm.In fact, Mr.Tremblay, publicly and privately, during the time of the controversies to which we allude, always avowed himself, not only as a sincere Christian, but as a devout Catholic, who deliberately be-lisved ihat he was within his rights as such when he refused to allow Mr.Langevin to keep the seat he had improperly obtained.It has also generally been understood that the appeal thereon to the Papacy, to which he was a party, led substantially to a decision in favour of his view by the late Monseigneur Conroy.For the last two years he had ably fulfilled ihe position of editor-in-chief of L\u2019Eclaireur, a French Liberal paper.His manag mentof that journal,of which he was also the proprietor, was such as redounded to his own credit, and to the political party of which he was a strong supporter.A political enemy\u2019s conduct was judged and criticized in a courteous manner.As a litterateur he was possessed of much talent and power, which he used always for the elevation and good of the mass of his fellow countrymen.THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND AND THE CITY OF GLASGOW BANK.To the Editor ot the Montkbai, Herald.What is worth doing at all is worth doing well.You are not the only paper who has noticed the Duke of Sutherland as being a shareholder in the City of Glasgow Bank, and who has quoted a paragraph from Truth in support of it.The shortest way of referring to the paragraph is to quote it.\u201c Some time ; ince,\u201d says Truth, \u201cthe Duke\u2019s factor owed the Duke some £600, which he \u201c was desirous of paying off by transferring to the Duke four shares which he held in the City of Glasgow Bank, and mentioned his intention one day \u201c to the agent of the Caledonia Bank at \" Inverness, who said : \u2018 Oh, never mind \u2018 troubling the Duke with them ; we \u201c \u2018 will take the shares and credit the \u201c \u2018 Duke\u2019s account;\u2019 and this was done.,f A bad job for the Duke, each share \u201c carrying a full liability for the losses \u201c of the creditors of the Bank by its \u201c failure.\u201d Now, Sir, assuming the premises to be true, which I doubt, is there anything like sense in the conclusion that it was a bad job for the Duke ?The paragraph pioves conclusively the job was a good one for him.The factor wanted to transfer the shares.\u201c No,\u201d says the banker ; \u201c don\u2019t trouble the Duke ; we \" will take the shares and credit the Duke.\u201d I hold in my hand an authentic list of the shareholders of the City of Glasgow Bank at the date of its failure, and of those who were shareholders during the period which would involve them in contingent liability, and the Duke\u2019s name is in neither of them.The Caledonian Bank is the holder of four THE MUNICIPAL ELECTll?ONTARIO.gazette, Tuesday, January 7, 1879.t-IJM- IN Toronto, January 6.\u2014At the municipal elections to-day, Mr.Jas.Beatty, Q.C., was elected Mayor by four or five hundred majority over Alderman Close, shares, and four shares only.These i who was 2nd, Mr.Manning being 3rd, four shares have caused it to tuspend.The authoritative denial in the Morning Post ought to have settled the question of the Duke being involved.I might not have troubled you with these remaiks had not the Duke, apart from being one of the most deservedly best-liked men in Britain, been the uncle of His Excellency.Your obedient servant, F.P.Montreal, Jan.6, 1879.ENGLISH JOURNALISM.The great London dailies are the Times and Telegraph.Both were Liberals under the Gladstone Government ; both have turned Tories under Beacons-field\u2019s rule ; the Times, more suo, in a very sudden manner.The profane say that the proprietor of the Times is to be rewarded with a peerage, and the proprietor of the Telegraph, who is of the same race as Lord Beaconsfield; with a Baronetcy.Thereupon some jesters have concocted the following articles imputed respectively to the two jealous aspirants after the honours of the Peerage :\u2014 London Ttlegraph: Mr.Walter\u2019s peerage hangs back al o.The longer it is deferred, the mote strenuous are bis efforts to deserve it.The advocacy of the Government policy by the leading journal has become more and more zealous ; its attacks on the opponents of the Government are more and more bitter.For the moment, it is a completely partisan journal; a purely ministerial organ, hardly taking the trouble to display the pretence of impartiality whioh is so useful to deceive the more innocent portion of the public.We should say, for example, that the essays it devotes to Mr.Gladstone would be underpaid by anything Lord Beaconsfield has it in his power to offer.They are among the most malevolent of recent performances in journalism.They are so bad that of themselves they ought to disprove the story about Mr.Walter\u2019s peerage.To accept it now would be to authenticité rumors which we may still, for the sake of Mr.Walter and his profession, disbelieve and discredit.London Times: It is stated on what seems good authority that Mr.Edward Levy Lawson is to stand for Parliament at the next general election, or earlier if opportunity offers.You never heard of him ?He is part owner and manager of the newspaper which claims the largest circulation in the world, and which has beyond dispute the largest supply of doubtful news, the largest stock of the longest words, the largest talent for discovering what the British shopkeeper thinks, and for adjusting its views to his ; and which pours out from the largest horn the largest stream of oil on the largest Jingo altar in England \u2014 which it had, perhaps, *he largest hand in raising.In so far as there is anything iu common between this sheet and the profession to which the honorable name of journalism belongs, Mr.Lawson\u2019s candidature may denote the growing pçwer çf one or the other.It may also denote their debasement.There is nothing to be said against Mr.Lawson personally.He is a very able man, of very marked success iu the line he has chosen.For many months it has been hinted that he was to be rewarded for his support of this Government with a baronetcy.The baronetcy lingers.Perhaps a seat in Parliament is offered him as a consolation.THE WEt K OF PRAYER, LARGE ASSEMBLIES.The Annual Week of Prayer and special

special series of some twenty hymns have been printed for use during the week.This evening the meeting will be held in the First Baptist Church, corner of City Councillor and St.Catherine streets,

He would also like, before re tiring, to thank the people of Montreal for the generous and hearty support that had been accorded the company since its arri val, and he could assure the citizens that their stay in Montreal, and the kindness they had received, was one of the most pleasurable they had yet met with, and one that they should never forget.(Loud cheers.) The play was then concluded, and the large and pleased audience left loud in their praise of the Warde and Barrymore Combination.The McGill students attend the Academy to-night in a body.We are glad the McGill boys can appreciate talent, and show a desire to support it when and wherever it may be displayed.This is the last night of \u201c Diplomacy,\u201d so let us give the Company a good house and a merry send off.Remember the performance begins at 7.30 p.m.THEATRE ROYAL.CANADIAN TURF.Belleville, Jan.6.\u2014After three postponements, on account of the weather, the Belleville Winter Races were commenced to-day on the ice, in the presence of a large number of spectators.The track was heavy, and the time made was, in consequence, slow, while there was a good deal of running indulged in by all competitors at the spots where the track was the heaviest.The following is the summary of the day\u2019s pioceedings:\u2014 Named Race\u2014Maggie Brophy, first ; Traver\u2019s horse, second ; Grey Ned, third ; Ned Hanlon, fourth ; Rawdon, fifth.Time, 3, 3.01 and 3.2.45 Race \u2014 Minnie Grainger, 1 1 ; Deserted, 2 2; Boy Tom, 33; General Thomas, 4 4 ; Smuggler, 5 0.Time, 2.46, 2.46.In consequence of one of the horses having cast a shoe, the running heats of this race was postponed till to-morrow.A great deal of trouble was caused by the drivers in scoring for the second heat, and finally the horses were despatched to a standing start.The Judges evidently tried to secure fair-play, but several of thj competitors ran fully half distance.FIRE REPORT.Specially reported tor the Herald.St.Louis (Mo.)

year tbe editois of nearly all Canadian papers were trying to blind or mislead the commercial public by stating that times were most likely to mend from Mat date.That the worst had past.Such editors must have been woefully ignoianr of the way business is conducted in Montreal, or they must have been toadying to a lot of weak-kneed firms or paving the way for Mercantile A,ency men to check the collection of fees for another year, in opposition to these wise editors we publicly gave our opinion that there would be more fai.ures during 1878 than ever before.We venture the opinion that there will be more failures in 1879 than during 1878.It cannot be otherwise so long as this American plague or Mercantile Agency system exists amongst us.The Rev.Mr.Talmage would do more good by exposing and trying to stop this commercial loathsome disease of assisting people to swindle than by advertising the lowest dens in New York.The American Mercantile Agency system is to business and business men about what bad drainage is to the health of a city\u2014always poisoning.We are glad to say that during 1878, two of these agencies have come to grief\u2014 they have at last \u2022 uneeded*in poisining themselves, as all such people and systems always do.It is common to hear people say that dishonest and unprincipled people in Canada have an advantage in the way of business.This is the talk of the paleeyed and miserable, and is false.Clergymen wil) have to do something to heip to drive this miserable system out, of Canada, or we will have to say some disagreeable but truthful things about how some leading church pil avs have managed to obtain goods under fal e pretences.We could publish the transactions of business men in connection with the agencies that would disgrace families, and will be obliged to do so if we find it actual'y necessary to the stepping of the system.S.C A.RSLEY, 395 NOTRE DAME STREET.-A-tteruI I Attend our annual cheap sale, every article in the store is

engaged in chopping wood near the Deschesnes, when his uncle, Mr.R.McConnell, Sr., who lives on the Aylmer road, opposite the Aylmer Cemetery, came up and claimed that he had no right to cut the wood.The young man held that he had every right to do whatever he pleased on his own land.The uncle strongly disputed his right, and said the land belonged to him.Hot words followed, when McConnell, the younger, warned his uncle that if he attempted to prevent him from doing what he pleased with his own property, he would make it hot for him.Another dispute ensued, which led to a fight, during which McConnell, the younger, struck his uncle with an axe several times, inflicting injuries which may ultimately prove fatal.He first struck his uncle on the back with the axe, wounding him seriously, after which he hit him on the head, and subsequently dislocated his shoulder.He has since been confined to his bed, and his ultimate recovery is doubtful.McConnell, the younger, has been arrested and is now incarcerated in the Aylmer Jail._____________ 'XOIiOIN\u2019XO.WEEK OF PRAYER.SCHEMES OF YANDERBILT.Under the auspices of the Evangelical Alliance the usual week of prayer will be

scheme elaborately drawn to secure a fair balance of profit and loss.I would rather launch an institution on the \u201c ocean of Time.\u201d and leave the working of it to those who will have to guide it.Thug it was that the British Constitution had its origin.The King called a council which gave him money on condition of his acting on their advice.Why should not the sovereign make the same demand of the whole em.pire ?At present the national supplies in men and money are furnished by the United Kingdom and its Parliament alone.The colonies are mere municipalities.Such a position was reasonable enough when they contained merely a few score of rough settlers struggling with savages and forests.But the position they have now attained by their wisdom, skill and perseverance\u2014look at their great share in the Paris Exhibition \u2014proves them worthy of a voice in shaping the policy of the empire.Proofs are not wanting of their willingness to share the burdens of empire.In the great Dominion of Canada there can be no doubt on that point.Years ago tbe country raised a regiment for the Queen\u2019s service.By thi law of 1863 all male British subjects between the ages of 18 and 60 are bound to serve if called out.Some 30,000 or 40,000 of them are armed and drilled, and they did not spare their blood when their country was invaded by Fenians.The number liable to military service is about 70,000, out of 4,000,000.The colonies in the South Pacific have volunteers serving under laws somewhat like our Yeomanry act.The local forces iu South Africa have for months engaged against many times their number of Caffres.The colonies are thus already undertaking military duties.What are the finances of the colonies?Roughly counted, their revenue amounts to about £20,000,000, and their debt to £73,000,000.With this we may compare the revenue of the kingdom of Portugal, stated to be £5,-000,000, and its debt of £72,000,000.The kingdom of Saxony has a revenue of £4,000,000 and a debt ot £17,000,000, while Canada has a revenue of £6,000,-000 and a debt of £29,000,000.Evidently the time is not far distant when the colo-nies could contribute both in men and money to the defenses of the empire.I have already referred to the fact that Canada raised a battalion which has become the One Hundredth of the Line, with the title \u201c Royal Canadians.\u201d It has no more to do with Canada than the Grenadier Guards.I think it ought to have continued to be a Canadian regiment ; that after a tour of duty away Irom Canada it should have returned thither, and that, if there should be no exceptional strain upon our resources during its absence, it should be replaced in Canada by a battalion from the United Kingdom.By this means uniformity in military system would be advanced and social advantages would be obtained.There seems a marked difference in the tone of thought and manners between Canada and the United States, the former being essentially English.This may be attributed in great measure to tbe intercourse arising from the presence of English garrisons.It is a most desirable result, the attainment ot which is worth some sacrifice.I would make an offer to each colony, that if it would raise a bat.talion for general service, that battalion, during its absence from the colony, should be paid out of the revenues of the United Kingdom, and that, during that time, a battalion of tbe Queen\u2019s army should be quartered in and paid by the colony.But 1 should look upon this as a mere temporary expedient.There ought to be a constitutional development, so as to make a function for the chosen men of the colonies they represent.Some have thought this might be done by giving seats in the House of Commons to representatives from the colonies.The House of Commons is already as numerous as it ought to be, so that representatives from the colonies could not be admitted in large numbers.In small numbers they would have no v, eight.The House of Commons is also overwhelmed with business.Others have thought that representative colonists might be appointed to the Privy Council.But the Privy Council has no original legislative authority, and its members are not necessarily summoned to advise on any question.It seems to me that if the opinions of the colonies are to be sought in an authoritative manner, still more if there is any expectation of obtaining their assistance in increasing the military resources of the empire, a new body should be constituted coutaining representatives in due pro portions of its various parts, the United Kingdom sending more representatives than any of the colonies.If the colonie» were to authorize their representatives to vote money for the military and naval de-tense of the empire, such a council might soon acquire great consideration.The local knowledge its members would possess would enable them to advise with authority as to what should be dons to defend the important harbors of the empire, and to protect our merchant fleets.BANQUE VILLE MARIE, Notice is MerebyiGriven, 1st.That the General Annual Meeting the Shareholders of this Institution will be held in the Directors\u2019Deliberation Room, above the

are not executed speedily, some fancy they are void.But when the system breaks down, and almost hopeless compli-calions arise, which the family physician, by reason of his limited experience, fails to relieve, the pertinency of the above inquiry is apparent.Many remedies have been specially prepared for these cases, and many physicians are bidding for their patronage.As before making a purchase of land, a \u201c search \u201d is required, and the title carefully examined, so invalids should carefully investigate the claims of any physician offering to treat chronic diseases.Dr.Pierce\u2019s Family Medicines are well known, and have effected many cures where eminent physicians have failed, yet to accommodate surgical and complicated cases, and those desirous of being restored speedily.Dr.Pierce has erecctedan elegant sanitarium, at a cost of nearly half a million dollars.No institution in the world offers advantages superior to those found in this establishment.Half a score of physicians are in attendance, several ot whom have been prominently connected with leading American and European Hospitals.Every improved facility for hastening a cure that a liberal expenditure of money could secure can here be found.Before fully deciding where to go, address Invalids\u2019 and Tourists\u2019 Hotel, for circular.INVITE TENDERS for the Supply of TIMBER, DEALS,

\u2018 you lost a valuable dog a little while ago ; we have brought him back, and he is in a house close by.\u2019 Mr.Williams could not go to the house, but gave the address to which he wished the dog to be taken, and on going home in the evening he found it there.\u201d BY CHARLES ^LàRKE, AUTHOR OF '¦ BOX FOR THE SEASON, CHARLIE THORNHILL,\u201d BTC , ETC.CHAPTER XIII.ABEL BRADFIKLD AT HOME.\u201c Thus always toaslog otu* s, iways teased.Bis ouly pleasure Is\u2014to be displeased.\u2014Cowraa last Abel Br&dfield wes eitiine in his room about the time of this fine open Christmas weather.It was a very cheerful rocm, indeed the best furmf-htd, and raostcoteted iu the house.That\u2019s why he kept it to himself.It was full of I he choicest cabinet pictares.\u2014copies, it ia to be admitted; but excellent copies, audthe frames weie chosen with infinite taste and care.It dees not happen to such as he, with all bis wealth, to fall upon or finals of great masters.A man should be born to a great master, just as much as to family plate, or a name.The few great exceptions prove nothing tut an accidental judgment, and the rule.Not that Bradfield cared so long as his friend believed in their originality ; and most of them did ; for they believed it lo be a hobby, and they knew him to be lavish on his own.Men are unable to multiply rare editions, valuable manuscripts, illuminated missals, \u2014the midpight labours of the monastery and the cell.So this department was great of its class.There were few more expensive collections in England than that cf Abel Bradfield.Money, toil, even personal research bad been expended upon books of great value.It had served a purpose.It had given their owner a character, and a position ; and be was occasionally sought by men of learning and talent, who were content to take the signs of it for its reality.In the room in which he now sat, his treasures of art were collected about him \u2014a mediaeval taste reigned supreme Only in the luxury of h.s chairs and sofas had he mixed modern ease with grandeur and severity of style.It was morning, and ths sun shone unrestricted on the new publications, papers, pamphlets, and handsome writing materials with which the tables were covered.It streamed in brightly, warmly for ths time of year, almost upon the fire, through the long Gothic windows, revealing the treasures of a conservatory into which the room opened on the southern side.Abel Bradfield sat opposite to the fire.He had a book and a paper-knife in his hand.It was habitual with him ; and having none of the tastes of a country gentleman, he adopted literature,\u2014an excellent substitute, but a rather laborious pretence.He had a few vexations\u2014most men have ; and he was endeavouring, as he swung his glasses to and fro over his waistcoat, to balance the account.His son did not pies se him.There was nothing remarkable about that.Laurence Brad-field always seemed to be making light of the Heaviest business.\u201c Il se moquait de tout le monde.\u201d He inherited from the i Id original manufacturer imperturbable independence of character, and from his mother an equally imperturbable sweetness of temper.Ha felt within himself two great powers of mind, which had been successful in his early tests, and one great practical value of university distinction.His father could mike nothing of him.\u201c He wouldn\u2019t go in for this county when he might have opposed those cursed Carringtons with every chance of success ; where itself money would have kept him, and where his position might have been improved ; and he would star d for Plumpton, where there\u2019s nothing in the world to be got by it, and where he has no local interest whatever.\u201d His son was enough to drive anyone mad.His wife was more easily managed, and he had quite settled the question of the season in town.\u201cWhat the d-1 could she want in town for three months.Six weeks was quite enough, and as to lessons in singing, there was noise enough, and expense enough, without paying Signor Gioco a guineaan hour for increasing it;\u201d and then Ellen had said nothing about it, so that that might bs put to the other side of the account.Searsdale was a thorn in his side.Some how or other the curate was unapproach \u2022 able, a regular hedgehog, \u201c looked up in the steel \u201d of his regularity, industry, and tonesty of purpose \u201c Wbat business had he with such acquaintances as Lord Hent- more ?why the d-1 didn\u2019t he know his position better in the social scale, than to call a man of that sorb \u2018MentmoreP\u2019 Mentmore, indeed ! \u201d and Abel Bradfield felt inclined to resent the familiarity as an insult to the whole of the aristocracy, of which he was most anxious to be considered a member.Then came a real grievance.\u201c That scoundrel Lushington, who had only about fifteen imndrod a year, had actually gained his cause, and he would have to pull down one hundred yards of park wall, because that stupid old fool the Chief Baron ruled thatit wasanenoroaolimentoupublio rights.Whose rights p I should like to know.Those d-d gipsies, I suppose.\" We can forgive a man for a small portion of irritability under such circum.stances.Bradfield had no more idea of doing a mischief, or of iovaiing public rignts than I have ; he only considered (what was true), that it would make his park wall level and straight, instead of the reverse, if he took in a portion of the common land on the road side, and as it could do no harm to anyone but a set of dirty unprotected paupers, who most of them worked for him, what could it signify?¦' Let them sell their donkeys if they couldn\u2019t afford to buy oats.\u201d So he did it, and the result and expense was prodigious.But that wasn\u2019t all, now he recollected.Only last Sunday Lushington and his wife and children were in his church, and in hit curate\u2019s pew.\u201cD-the fellow\u2019s im- pudence.Who gave him leave to oome to his chuich ?Why Searsdale, to be sure.\u2019 And at this point, seeing nothing to oon-tradiet or abuse but his books and his pictures, he got up and rang the bell.\u201c How came Colonel Lushington in my church last Sunday ?\u201d \u201c Don\u2019t know, Sir,\" said Thomas, rather timidly.\u201cYou never do know anything.Who gave him leave to sit in Mr.Scarsdale\u2019s seat\u2014the vicarage seat ?\u201d He was accustomed to call it the vicarage seat by a sort of euphemy ; for he had many times declared that he wanted no vicars in his parish, and as the land and houses were all his, he had taken eare there never «honld be one.\u201c Don\u2019t know.Sir,\u201d said the man, conscious of his inability, and of the turpitude of his ignorance.\" Is he in the habit of sitting there ?\u201d \" I believe he is.Sir ; leastways, I\u2019ve seen him most Sundays last summer and autumn, while the family was away.Sir.\u201d \u201c Do you ever touch your hat to him ?\u201d Thomas was a good servant, but a discriminating man ; so he always did touch his hat, very respectfully, to Colonel Lushington, and at once answered, \u201c No, Sir.\u201d \" And I desire you never do.Sir ; neither you nor any servant of mine.He has done all in his power to insult me; you can go ; and desire Mr.Wilson, the churchwarden, to com ' down to me.\u201d \u201c Yes, Sir ; \u201d and Thomas departed on his errand Mr.Wilson was not at home, but Mrs.Wilson was, and was not long in getting out of Thomas the business on which Mr.Wilson was wanted by the squire.At that moment Mr.Wilson, the churchwarden, who bad been carting manure in bis yard, entered the house.He was quite as great as a churchwarden as Abel Bradfield as a squire, and had a great idea of the church\u2019s privileges and his own pa .vers.He\u2019d have been great in an excommunication case.\u201c Bless my soul,\u201d said Mr.Wilson, \u201c what\u2019s to be done now ?This \u2019ull nevsr do.We can\u2019t allow the church to suffer \u2019cos o\u2019 these here hanimositieg.I always says, the squire, says I, he\u2019s a deal o\u2019 responsibility ; but the officers o\u2019 the church ! Thomas, bless me, that\u2019s another thing.In course I\u2019ll go down, but we can\u2019t take cognizance of these private quarrels, no how ; and so I must just put the squire right on that point.There ain\u2019t no property in pews neither.\u201d \u201c My dear,\u201d said Mrs.Wilson, \u201c you\u2019ll do nothing o\u2019 the sort.You\u2019ll just recollect you\u2019re a tenant o\u2019 the squire\u2019s ; and though you do pay your rent, the less you have to do with him the better.It\u2019s no business of youis.\u201d \u201c But, my dear-\u201d \u201c There, you just go and finish your business ; it\u2019s nice open weather for it, and you can talk church matters over when it\u2019s a frost.I\u2019ll manage the squire.\u201d Mr.Wilson was too good a judge of its value to waste time \u201c Now, Thomas,\u201d said Mrs.Wilson pouring him a second glass of home-brew ed beer, \u201c you run down to Stephen Downing, the clerk, and send him to the Hall.Mi Wilson\u2019s always at Saxon by Market on a Wednesday, p,nd he\u2019s gone a bit eirlier thin usual ; Stephen\u2019s a pig-headed one, and will stand a deal o\u2019 drivin\u2019 ; \u201d and with that she dismissed Thomas.\u201c Please, Sir,\u201d said Stephen about half-an-hour afterwards, well-primed with a glass of strong ale, with his black coat, which was soon put on, and a second day\u2019s white neckcloth fresh from last Sunday, as he blundered into the presence \u201c I he eome down as I heard as you\u2019n gotten somethin\u2019 to say.\u2019 \u201c Can you tell me why Colonel Lushington comes into my church ou Sunday p \u201d \u201c Belike to say his prayers.Sir.\u201d \u201c You\u2019re just as great a fool as the rest of \u2019em.\u201d Stephen Downing stroked his bead with imperturbable gravity, mean whit brings him there ?\" \u201c Mostly it\u2019s the jaunty car, but Sunday it was the pony ihay.\u201d \u201c You great dolt, } mean why doesn\u2019t he go to hia own church P \u201d \u201c Cos he\u2019s so uncommon fond o\u2019 Muster Searsdale, I expect.Yes, Sir, uncommon nice gentleman be be, to be sure \u2014we ain't had such \u2019en a curate-\u201d \u201cWho the d-1 gent for you to tell me what sort of a person Mr.Searsdale is P I want to know why he lets Colonel Lush-ington into my cfcureh.\" \u201d \u2019V' 11, Sir, I doan\u2019t rightly know, but he be up a ho school now ; this U his day.He come «-very other day\u2014never neglects nobody, he doau\u2019t.\u201d ¦\u2019 Now you can go ; and don\u2019t show youi face here again till you\u2019re sent for.\u201d \u201c T ank ye, Sir,\u201d said Stephen Downing the parish clerk, nd u he went.It so happened that old Morton, or Giles, or whatever he called himself, was taken worse than usual in the Saxonby Union.It was not very extraordinary that at his time of life he should be aaling, in body o in mind ; but he chose to consider it so It is said that at fifty, a man\u2019s dispositi u is but th j reflection of his former life ; at \u2022 gbty reflection must have become « photograph.The old man was no less a rascal, than he had been as a young one ; and he could uo more have died comfortably without taki ig somebody in, than he could have lived w .\u2022 hout it.He sent for his sou.The meetii - was not a touching one, though there were no witnesses to it.It,was oneof mutnai recrimination ; and the mind we have seen so feeble, partly real, partly assumed, recovered plenty of its brightness and vivacity when the steel was present, which drew the spark from the flint.Dan Morton himself v> as nota man to mince matters from delicacy of feeling ; and when tney got upon the question ef Abel Bradfield, whose name had clung pretty tenaciously to the old man since Mr.Scarsdale\u2019s first visit, his sou went at once to the peinte of their mutual career, which were personally most interesting to him.The old man had no idea that he should ever live to profit or suffer by anything connected with his past experiences Immunity makes a man very communicative even on his own affaire.It was not, however, without some ^difficulty that Dan Morion drew from his father, at length, that there was a paper of so much im-poriance to them both, and to others be rides, concealed in Sommerton Hall, that if it were only got hold of by the right persons, it might make or mar the fortunes and jeopardise the safety of more than one individual.The old man asserted, bee des, that the existence of this paper was not known to Abel Bradfield, but that the ciioamstances connected witn its conceal ment were ; for that his father had died without having Ind the opportunity he sought of placing the papers in the hands of the son.Tiie next visitor whom he re eeivtd was Mr.Searsdale, who in the course of his duties was helping the Viear of Saxonby by going down to the union woikhouse.Their conversation was of no material importance to the reader ; it con ceined, as far as Searsdale was interested in it, the welfare of old Giles Morton'i soul ; as far as he himself was interested and well-being of his body.He couldu\u20191 eat the soup, and the meat was all fat The beer was n*t fit for a Christian I ; and whose representative I am.the biehop\u2019» appointment ; and every labourer in the parish has an equal interest in it with yourself.\u201d This spe ch, albeit de-, livered without violene\", vas not calculated to quiet Abel Bradfield ; nor did it.They stood without the wail in queetioa.*\u2022 D-yon,\u201d said he.raising his stick and shaking it\u2014 \u201d sc.-undrel ; \" but there was nothing in Scarsdale\u2019s face that made a personable attack desirable.\u201c Scoundrel.Choose then, d- yon, between your friend Colonel Lushington, a broken-down spendthrift upon a few hundred a year ; aod me, the master of your parish, who am able to crush, aye, and who will crush ou, by G \u2014, before you\u2019re a day older \u201d I have already chosen between a gentleman, and one who thus outrages every sense of decency.For my own sake I ¦u&ll see you uo more, wade I remiin to rform the duties if my office her \u2022, unless 1 can reasonably pul down your present conduct to the raving- of insanity.Before we part, however, let me discharge a commission I have received from one Morton Giles, or Giles Morton, of Claygato, whom I saw yesterday in the Saxonby Union.\u201d Saying which, Mr.Searsdale put his hand into his pocket and began to search for the memorandum which he had received from the old man.He was too intent upon his search to observe the terrible change which passed over the face of Abel Bradfield.Hitherto the trembling lips and pale cheek had been the effects of temper, now it had changed to that of abject fear.Searsdale continued search, but without effect, while the squire held out his trembliag hand to receive the missive.I regret to say that I must have mislaid it ; but it seemed to be of little or no consequence-\u201d \u201c Give it me.Sir, directly.You have no THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.TRADE MARK.a simple Remedy for Indigestion, which u CAMOMILE PILLS are confidently recommended asa\tso uniformly grateful the cause of nearly all the diseases to which «\tstrengthener of the Human Stomach.\" it and beneficial, thatit is with justice called the \u2018\tmild in their operation, safe \u201c Morton\u2019s Pills \u201d act as a powerful tonic and gen c p ^ \u2019bear testimony to the benefits to blunder any circumstances, and thousands of persons f an _ _ _ Friend for upwards of 45 years, derived from their use, as they have been a tuvo -fa in^ \"\tVMdûf c throughout the World.Sold in Bottles at Is.lid., 2s.9d., and jmtiug.JOB PRINTS «st T II E \u2022SS Be sure and ash for \u201c NORTON\u2019S CAUTION.\t.PJLLS,\" and do not be persuaded to purchase an imitation.^ IV B 220 to very drink, of which body he regarded himself as a most important member.The port wine, ordered for him by the union doctor, \" hadn\u2019t got no stength in it no how.\u201d The master;was always a \u201c routiiu of him about,\u201d and the matron was always a\u2018\u2018peggin\u2019into him about one thing or t\u2019other, just when he wanted to go to sleep.\u201d In fact there \u201c wasn\u2019t no peace on this side of the grave,\u201d to which Mr.Searsdale, with a view to his argument, very justly assented.\u201c Yes, Sir ; yes, I knows it\u2014it\u2019s a awful thing to die, it is ; but a awfuller to live wi\u2019 such a loto\u2019 folks as these.\u201d \" But, Morton, it\u2019s our duty to bear in this world, or how shall we manage in the next P \u201d \u201c The next ?Oh ! thank God, we sha\u2019nt have nom on \u2019em there.\u201d Then he referred to the tattered paper he had made Mr.Searsdale read at their It st meetijig; and now the only thing that would make him die happy was a promise that Mr.Searsdale would see that paper into the hinds of Abel Bradfield.\u201cHe onght to have it, and then he\u2019s got it all on his own shoulders.And now, Sir, if you\u2019d like to read a hit, why I always was a friend to the Church ; never went to meetin\u2019, and as to them Methodys, they\u2019re a bad lot, I fear.\u201d So Searsdale took the paper ; and and read the Bible to old Morton, and went hia way ; much perplexed with his mission, or rather the meaning of it.The next morning, as was his wont, he found himself at the Sommerton school.It was a primitive establishment for the advance of education.Charming building, capital stove, excellent desks, admirable ven ilation, a first-rate clock, and a very bad master ; cheap, but dear at any price, Mr.Bradfield had no sympathy with the movement party in this direction.Notwithstanding the poor people would get on in spite of their master ; thanks, as they said, to their curate, and the sauire\u2019s diughter.I wonder whether Searsdale ever felt for Ellen Bradfield a tender r sentiment than sino-ra esteem.At all events he kept it to himself ; and they worked together the better for it.They were there on this identical Wednesday, and the door suddenly opened, and the squire himself suddenly appeared among them.When things were going all right, Abel Bradfield felt, like a wholesome frost, very desirous of checking them.All this prosperity and comfort in his tillage was decidedly wrong.The most irritating thing in the world, was th# having nothing to complain of.Thank Heaven, he had now a real grievance, so that he was almost cheerful by the time he reached the school house.Asd when he got there, there wasn't even a dirty pinafore.Even little Bliley Smudge had his hair b> ashed, and Madge Wilfred was not in disgrace He got answers to most of his questions ; and there was only one naughty little boy, who could not spell Consiantinople.\u201c I\u2019m afraid these children are troublesome, Mr.Searsdale ?\u201d \u201c Not at all,\u201d as id the curate cheerfully.\u201c Ellen, your mother desired me to send you to the Hall.\u201c Did she really, papa p then I\u2019ll go directly.\u201d And collecting her books and handkerchief, and taking leave of Mr.Scandale, she left the school.\" I don\u2019t think much beyond reading and writing is desirable, Mr.Searsdale, for these children.\u201d \u201c They\u2019re not likely to get it here,\u201d replied the curate, with an eye to the besotted schoolmaster.\u201c I hope not.Schools appear to me to be only a part of a clergyman\u2019s duty.Have you seen Giles lately p \u201d \u201c Not this morning\u2014he\u2019s going on very well.\u201d \u201c So much the better.I want his cottage.He\u2019s a cantankerous, ill-conditioned fellaw.\u201d \u201c Really ! I\u2019m mistaken then,\u201d said the curate.\u201c How so p \u201d said the squire.\u201c I should have thought him one of the very best men in the parish.\u201d \u201c I\u2019m curious to know your ideas of one of the best men in the parish.\u201d \u201c Honest, industrious, a good husband and father, and regular in his attendance at church.\u201d \u201c You attach great importance to the latter article of faith.\u201d \u201c Undoubtedly,\" said Searsdale, with some surprise.\u201c Is that the reason that Colonel Lush-ingten has your permission to sit in the vicarage pew ?\u201d \u201c In his case, I hardly gave it a thought.\u201d \u201c Doesn\u2019t itoccurr to you that his parish church is the proper place for him and his family ?\u201d \u201c I can hardly presume to dictate to him, any more than to yourself.Perhaps you will do me the favour to walk a little way with me ; at least, if you wish to discuss that question.\u201d This was quite a new phase in the character of a curate ; but as Searsdale walked towards the door and held it open, it was not easy to refuse the request.Besides, Searsdale was not a man, nor in the humour, to be regarded lightly.Mr.Bradfield felt that he had his match.\u201c Mr.Bradfield,\u201d said the young man, with a raised colour, and a certain amount of temper even in his voice, '* I have been here some time, and I never yet took a liberty with you.The first at all events has been to prevent your taking one with me.\u201d Abel Bradfield\u2019s face turned purple, and then to an ashy paleness ; violent passion, tempered with a sort of reverence, literally deprived him of speech.The curate continued, \u201c I have thought it undesirable that the squire and the clergyman of the parish should condescend to récriminât ions before their parishioners.If you have anything to say to me, you can say it here.\u201d Still Abel Bradfield held his peace ; until conquering the chocking sensation which prevented utterance, he said in a low but distinct tone of voice, \u201c You allowed Colonel Lushington to sit in the vicarage pew in my church.\u201d \u201d I did ; but\u2018let us undei# and each other, Mr.Bradfield.This is not vour church ; you have surrounded it with a wall, built it out from the parishioners and occupiers, and built it into your own property\u2014but the church is not yours.\u201d \u201c Then, Sir, to whom, may I ask, docs it belong ?\u201d This was said with a feeble attempt at sarcasm ; which, however, like a laced shroud, only concealed badly th* corpse beneath.\u201c It belongs to the viear, to whom your father sold the living for-so much money, right.Sir, to detain it \u2018 Detain it, Mr.Bradfield! of course not.It was a mere open paper, very old and utterly valueless, I should imagine.Its contents did not interest me, but appeared to be a proposed meeting between the late Sir Reginald C rrington and Mr.Bradfield, for the settlement of a debt.It was in the form of a note.\u201c And you pretend to have lest it, Sirp Sir, it\u2019s a lie, a lie ; if the whole is not a forgery between you and that cursed felon.\u201d Searsdale looked at Abel Bradfield, and as he looked he saw the light fade from his eyes, and he sank fainting, befoie he could be assisted, into a helpless inert mass.Searsdale crossed the road, knocked at the nearest cottage, and said, \u201c Mr.Brad field is taken ill ; get some water and go over to him with some of his neighbours.Send down to tae Hall immediately.I\u2019m going on Mr.Wilson\u2019s pony to Saxon by, and will send over Dr.Probewcll direct ly.\u201d And he did so.The first person that passe 1 along the village after the curate, on that eventful morning, was Job Fletcher.As he was thinking of nothing, it gave Hm time to observe external objects, and the first thing of peculiar interest that caught his eye was a clean envelope without any address, and unsealed.I do not think that Job\u2019s conscience would have been at all nice, had the reverse been the case ; butin the present circumstances he was only acting the part of a prudent person, in looking to see to whom it belonged.Job was not a man of much learning, and with difficulty made out the two proper names, with which he was most familiar, Carrington and Brsid-field.Then came the question as to which of the two the paper itself appertained, or whether to either of them.While he was thus debating within himself what to do with his newly-found incumbrance, and whether he might not as well let it lie where it was, old Master Bob-sen happened to pass by on his way to the blacksmith, to whom Job at once referred.No man likes to admit that he can neither read nor write; so Master Robson went through the ceremony of looking it well over upside down and then returned it to the finder ; remarking that, \u201cfolks worn\u2019t much in the way o\u2019 these new fangled writings in his days; for his part be didn\u2019t see no good in it.\u201d But if he gave nothing else, he parted with some sound advice, when he heard from Job the mighty parties whom it concerned.\u201c Bradfield, Carrington ; ah ! Job, them\u2019s great folk any how; I\u2019d take it home to the missus, if I was you, she knows a bit about \u2019em, more nor you and me.Job.\u201d And so it came that the paper fell into the hands and workbox of Mrs.Job Fletcher.If there were no other advantage to be met with in seeking counsel in difficulty from the wife of your bosom, there is one at least,\u2014one undeniable chance of efficient help.She is quite certain to take a different view of any matter from yourself, if she be a true woman; and you thus get two sides of the question critically reviewed.Indeed, to argue backwards, this may be one sound reason why she is imbued with this spirit of determined contradiction upon subjects of but ordinary interest.Married life truly iu this respect appears to be not unlike the influence of the sun and moon upon the tides.When distinctly opposed to one another, the wife has the best of it ; but when they unite their forces for great objects, as the sun and moon at the change and fall of the latter, then they are irresistible, like the spring tides, and carry everything before them.This passage had better be forgotten by unmarried men.(To be continued.) pMsucllaiicous.a.JAIU\u2019OH/A\u2019HIJ WROUGHT IRON BEDSTEADS, 4\t111WI, UUMU I s.ri«w, WITH THE IMPROVED WROUGHT IRON DOVE-TAIL JOINTS.A great variety, comprising Low and High Price Bedsteads, at 6S2 CRAIG, NEAR BLEURY ST.MEILLEUR &G0 .Wav 1\t115 REFRIGERATORS, WATER FILTERS Coolers, Ice-Cream Freezers, Bird Cages, Cornices, Poles, Stair Rods, Enamelled Tea and Coffee Pots, &c.Children\u2019s Carriages.All at reduced prices, at 652 CRAIG, NEAR BLEURY ST MEILLEUR 8 CO.Wav 15\t11 MR.STREETER, 18, NEW BOND ST., LONDON, W., JEWELLER.£7.18-Carat Gold EARRINGS from £2.Set with Gèms.18-Carat Gold BRACELETS \u201e \u2022\tSet with Gems.18-Carat Gold LOCKETS \u201e Set with Diamonds.18-Carat Gold COLLARETTES and NECKLACES .from £10.Set with Gems.to £50., £300 £5.£100 £100.\u201cTHE TIMES\u201d says, \u201cMr.Streeter marks upon is gcrods the quality of the gold, which is a true uarantee.\u201d MR.STREETER, SILVERSMITH.PRIZE CUPS .in silver from £3.CHRISTENING SETS, do.\u201e £2.WEDDING PRESENTS do.\u201e £5.TEA SETS, in Silver, 4 pieces j, £30.to £500.\u201e £100.£500.\u201e £100.NOTE.\u2014All new Silver Q-oods exported from England are subject to a DÜAWBACK\u201d or Custom\u2019s Allowance of Is.6d.per ounce.Buyers, ordering: direct from Mr.Streeter, are in every case credited with the full amount so received.The Jewellery Business n *w carried on at 18, NEW BOND STREET, W .is the third oldest established amongst tha Court Jewellers of England.It was ürst established in Bevis Marks, in the City of London, dm Dig the XVlIth Crntury, was afterwards remeved - 'J oA.r.nl cu as a West-, ml Jeweller\u2019s in Hanovei .Squa O aD*i from thence to 18, NEW BONE STREET, W.AND' Warrants of Appointment wer 'giv'-n during thereignr of GI ORGE III , GEORGE IV.WILLIAM IV., and QUEEN VICTORIA, as JewtdLrs, Goldsmiths and Watohmak.r.-*.\u2022PBEOIOUSSTOi\u2019hb AND OEMS\u201d By EDWUM \\V.fcTREETER.An Exhaustive »nè P.a:-ticai Work for the Merchant, Connoisseur, or the Private Buyer Richly Illustrated.T> Cloth, 18s.;
