He was a brave featleas boy ; no darkness bad ever before held any terrors for him.1 am not sure that be would not have whistled contemptunusly over aa whole legion of sup- ghosts, He waa catirely familiar with, and quite indiffrrent to, that most frightful of al} buman sights,a reeling.swearing drunkard ; but this was quite another matter, this great solemn eye of God, which he teltto- night for the frst time, looking steadily down upon him, never forgetting him for n moment, never by any chance turning sway and giving him time to go to sleep, Tode didn't know why he: felt this terrible new feeling ; he didn't know that the Joving, pitying Saviour had his tender eyes bent on him, and was calling him, that God had need that powerful thrust from the Spirit to wonnd his sinful heart ; he knew nothing about it save that he was afraid, and desolate and very miserable, Suddenly he sprang up.a little of hia ordinare determination coming back to him.« Whats the use,\u201d he muttered, © ofa fellow lying shivering here ; If I can\u2019t sleep, I might as well give it up first ag last.l'il go down to the parlor, and whistle ! Yankee Daodis, or something else until train time.\u201d But hls band trembled so in his attempt to strike n light, that he failed again and again.Finally he was dressed, and went out into the ball.Mr.Roberts opcned his own door at that moment, and seeing the boy gave him what he thought would be a happy message : # Tode, you can sleep over to.nigh$.Jim 1s on band, and you may be ready for the five oclock train.\u201d No excuse now for going down stairs, and the wretched boy crept back to his room ; utterly wesiched he felt, and he bad no human friend to help him, no human heart to comfort bim.A \u2018wrapped a quilt about him and sat down 0a the edge of his bed to calculate how long his bit of candle would probably \u2018burn, and what he should do when he was laft onoe more in that mwful darkness, On his table Jay & hall-burut lamp-lighter, He me.chanfcally untwisted it, and twisted it up agai, busy till with that fearful sentence: \u201c eyes of the Lord are in every place,\u201d \u2018The Jighter was made ofa bit of printed parer, aud Tode could read.\u2018l'helrtters caught his eye, and he bent forward to decipher them ;

but someway it had cossed to burm.He fult very grave and solemn, but not exactly afraid, and a new strange fooling of some loving presynce in his room possesses ed his heart, aud the thought of that name Jeuts brought tears into bis cyes, he dida't kuow why, He didn't know that there was such a thing as being a Christian ; he didn't know that he Lad any thing todo with Chriat ; be didn't kuow that Le vas in the least diirsr- ent from the Tode who lay there but an hour Ixforcomly.Yue, that solemn Eye did not wake him afraid now ; and with au earnest prayer, went to sleep.Lut l (Link that the recording angel up in haven epened Lis bouk that night and wrote a new name on its pages, and that the ever.listening Savior said, * I have called him by bis name ; be is mine.\u201d In the gray glimmering dawn of the early morning Tode stood out on the steps, aad waited for the rush of travellers from the train, They cae rushing in, cold and cross, many of them unreasonable, too, as cold and hungry travellers so often are; but on each and all the boy waited, flying hither sad thither, doing Lis utmost to help make them confortable ; befug apparently not one whit dificrent from the bustling important boy who flew about there every morning lutent upon the sume duties, and yet he had that very morning fallen heir tos glorious inheritance.True, be did not know it yet, but vo matter for that, hls title was sure.The days went round, and Sanday moruing came.Nuw Sauday waa a very busy day at the lotel.Aside from the dreadfni Sunday trains that came teiriog into town descerating the day, the whole country seom- ed to dirgorge itself, and plessurs-secker came in cliques of twos And fours for a ride ands warm dinner on this gala day, Tole Lad wont to be busy and blithe on these dsy but on this eventful Sabbath morning it was different.Graduslly he was becoming aware that some strane new tecliogs possessed his heart, He hadcontinu-d the repeatal of the one prayer, \u201c O Jesus, ave me ;* going always to the corner at the foot of bis bed,and closing his eyes torep-atit.And now he was consclous of the fact that he had little thrills of delight all over him when he said these words, and a new, strange, sweet sense of protection and friendship stole over him from some nokunown source.Nowa longing possessed him to know something more about Jesus, Iie bad heard of him at only ons place, that chapel.Naturally his thoughts turned toward it.He knew it would be open on that dey, and\u2018 Who knows,\u201d said igno- tant Todo to himself, « but they might bap- pen to sy romcthing about him to-day.\u201d In short, Tede, knowing nothing about # Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy,\u201d never having so much ss heard that ther: was a fourth commandment, wanted to go to church, And wanting this very much, knew at the game time that it was an extremly doul-tfol case, utterly unlikely that he should be allowed to go, He brushed lin hair befora hia bit of glass, and buttoned on his clean collar, all the time in deep thought.A sudden resolution came to him ; that old man had raid Jesus would give us everything we wanted or needed, or something hike that.\u201c1 try it,\u201d said Tode, aloud and positive.Iv.© 'Tain't no harm if it don't do no good, and 'tain\u2019t nobody's business, anyhow.\u201d And with these strangely original thoughts on the subject of prayer, he went into his corner, but once there the reverent look with which he nowadays pronounced that sacred name spreads over his face as he said #0 Jeans, 1 went to go to that church, and I s'pose I can't\u201d! This was everything Tode was conscious of wanting just at present, so this was ail he said, only repestiug it again and again, Then when he went down stairs he marched directly to headquarters, and made known his desires, \u201c Mr.Roberts, I want this forenoon to myself.Can I bave it?\u201d \u201c You do,\u201d auewere Mr.Roberts, eyeing bim thoughtfully.* Well, as such requests are rare from you, snd as Jim's brother is hure to help, 1 think 1 may say yes.\u201d \u201cA queer, bright, capable boy, Mr, Roberts thought, looking after Tode, as he darbied off down town.\u201cGoing to make just the man for cur business.I must begin to promote him soon.\u201d An for Tode he war in bigh glee, \u201c What broaght that Jim's brother over to help to-day ?\u201d lie asked himself, «I'd like to know that now.1 believe I do, as sureas I'm alive, that Ae heard every word, and has been and fixed it all out.I must know he has, \u2018cause things didn\u2019t ever happen around like hia for me before\u201d The pronoun he,\u201d did not refer to Jim's brother, and was spoken with that touch of awe and reverence which had so lately como to Tode.And L think that the words were recorded up in heaven, as having a meaning not unlike the acknowledgment of those less ignorant disciples, « Lord, 1 believe.\u201d OMAPTER X \u2014HABAKKUK.The church toward which Tode bent his eager steps was quite filled when he reached it, but the scxton made a way for him, and he settled into a seat with a\u2019quoer, awkward sense of having slipped into & spot that was not intended for auch as he; but the organ tones took up his attention, and then in a moment a burst of music from the congrege- tion, among the words of which he could catch ever and anon that magic name Jeans, Ro at least they were going to sing about him, Yee, and talk to him also, for Mr.Birge's rayer, though couched in language quite yond Tode\u2019s reaching, yet closed with the to bim wonderful sentence, \u201c We ask In the namo and for the sake of Jesus our Redeemer.\u201d When he opened the t back which Tode knew was the Bible, the boy waa all attention ; tomething more from the Bible he was anxloun to hear, He got out his bit of pen.cll and a crumpled twist of paper, sud when Mr RBirge announced that he would read the fourth Peslm, Tode bent forward and carefully snd laboriously made a figure four aud the letters 8 A M in bis very best style, and be.leved that he bad it just right.Then he Ilatened to the reading as « motimes those do not who can giibly opell the words.Yet you can hardly concsive how like » strange language it sounded to him, so utterly unfamiliar wan he with the style, so utterly ignorant of itameaning.Only over the last veres he hind almost laughed.#1 will both Iay me down in psace and sleep ; for thon, Lord, ouly makest me dwell in safety.\u201d Didnt he Snow about that arte awful night, thoes dreadful eyes, peace in which he lay down and slept at lest.# Oh ob,\u201d he said to bimerll, \u201csome other follow bas bad a time of it, I guess, sad put it in the Bible, I'm glad I've found ont about it just as I did.\u201d Tode didn\u2019t mean to be irreverent.You must continually bear in mind the fact that he dide't know the meaning of the word ; Chat be know nothing about the Bible, nor dream ok that the words which 20 delighted him roth parscth by.\u201d The very nams!

Cotemporary Press and News.TBE BURNING OF THE « KINGSTON! (From Montreal Herald.) No further particulars of this disaster have reached us by telegraph, but Mr.Andrew Hayes, who was a passenger by the ill-fated steamer, has favored us with the following details.The steamer left Brockville at half past one on Tuesday afternoon, with about a hundred passengers, whose names are given be low, and a full cargo.As she was approaching Grenadier lsland, about eighteen miles above Brockville, an alarm of fire was raised, and & scene of indescribable confusion ensued, In a fow moments the saloon was filled with sche, which rolled in dense volumes from one of the state-rooms amidships, and immediately above the engine-room.As many of the passengers as could, hurried down to the main deck, but the flames epread with snch rapidity that a few were bemmed io, among them three ladies, one of whom was the unfortunate Mrs.Dr.Jones, of this city.It was in attempting to descend from the hurricane to the main deck, by sliding down the post, that the deceased lady fell into the water, An there was not the least chance of extinguishing the flames, Captain Carmichael, who acted throughout with the most pralseworthy coolness and prudence, determined to run the vessel ashore.Owing to the shallowness of the water, however, it was impossible to get within two hundred ards of the beach, and the passungers ad to get n-hore as well as they could, \u2014such a were unable to awim, by the aid of life.preservers and floating spare.In such a moment of stidden peril, it wonid not have been surprising had those whose lives were hanging by & hair, lost all seif-command; happily, however, the example and exertions of the officers had the effect of preventing a panic which might have had deplorably fatal consequences, The sceme frem he island is described by an eye.witnees a8 having been truly terrific.As was stated in yerterday's telegremn, the propelior Dominion,\u201d which Paces) shortly after the vessel was beached, took $e passengers and crew on board, and conrayed them to Brockville, where they arrived shortly after eight o'clock fn the evening.On reaching Brockville, the remains of Mrs.Jones were conveyed to one of the principal hotels, and the coroner was notified, An inquest was held yesterday, and a verdict of # Accidental Donth\u201d returned.Yesterday evening the remains were brought to this city, and will be interred on Friday.The decessed was the widow of the late Dr.Thomas Walter Jones, and was 8 lady of sterling worth.The following are the names of the cabin ngers:=-Mrs A Doherty and child, rockville; Mies Vail, Guelph; Mre Hey, Coopstown ; Mrs Thorpe, London; Mr Car lisle, Montreal; Miss MeUonkey, do: Mre Jones, do; Mr Cunninghan and wife, Hes tingdon ; Miss Randal, do Mite Baptiste Three Rivers; Mrs Allen, Mrs Leslie, Mr Hope and chfid, J W Parmenter, Ga: ue; Thos Paxton, Perry ; Mrs Grey, , Hope; Captain Shannce, lensbueg ; T 3 Hare, Ottams ¢ & Linajerdias, P wie ond (eee ohildeen }'M Larousie, H J Ouse, Teen, Indian; Henderey Neill Ja working pa .\u201c1he stcamer was josffred in the Oitiseny for $82,000, of which three fourths had bets suresh in othef offices in the following proportions : $4,0 the British Atacrie «an ; $8,000 in the N British ; $5,000 in the Liverpool and snd Globe, and $3,000 in the Royal.was stated ia our telegram yesterday, thofressel is completely di-at-ld, and the e and cargo are a tuts] loss, n, working passage ; e (From thelPlode ) \u2018The \u201c Kingston\" was Îlne of the finest boats of the Julaud Favigatios Company's line, sul was the one ip which thg Prince of Wales and suite made the trip up $e River Saint Lawrence and Lake On! on the occasion of His Royal Highness! through this country, Mer hull wasof il and will not, there fure, have been damaged by the tire Ble was valued at about $80,080, and was insured aguinag fic.for, Mr.filoy thinks, about $60,000.The « ton\u201d, pre arated rl do convey the Quean's Own and the Qovernor.General's Body-guard this morning to Nisyara, The Musers.Milloy will endeavor to get a bust from Bt.Catharines to take her place in trans.urting the troops, The\u2019 trafic Lutwecu ontreal and Hamilton will suffer nothing by | the loss ofthe * Kinguton,\u201d as two otlier boats le Jonging to tie Company are at present tying | y at Charlotte, and two more at Montrest, ' none of the four having yet been put in com.| mission this season.| TBE ENLARGEMENT OF TUE CANALS.(From the Montreal Herald.) Almost the first step of the Macdonslq, Dotion Goverament upon attaining power was to feud th: Hoo, John Young to Wadk.© iugton, with a pledye that the Canadian canals | should be cula-ged, and à proposition, that in consideration of the avantages which would thus be conferred upon Amcrican trade, the - Keciptocity Tresty shou'd be extend d.\u2018The | value of the treaty bad been very much de- precinted by the jouruals of tho Coneervative purty, but when the time caine for its abrogra- tion it was feltthat that event would be a mirfortune.Accordingly the success of Mr, Young's mission was received with pleasure by ull pertics.He procured a pestpoucment ul the intended withdrawal of the Americans | from the exis:iug arraozemeut, for tweive ?wouthbs, and lad the Ministry which sent * kim to Washington continued in office, they | would have varied out the programme set | fouth in the speech from the throbe ;

these acceptances, and that the acceptances wege not iven ou the Bauk premises during business Écurs=-thut there was an officer called the ledger-koeper, whose exclusive duty it was to sceept che

having no funds In tbe Bank vof Montreal, \u2014on any concuit to prevent such indebled.ness, the facts if established, would have no effect on the case.The acceptances, if author- iad, are acts by which the Bink of Montreal evinced it consent to Ix bound by the request contained in the cheques directed to it; tn other words, an cngagement te pay tue amount of these cheques to the bearer of Lem.nck an accoptajioé is mob revocahl to Invoke reasons for not accepting, sgatost an actual acceptance, All of the facta plead.vd were withiuthe knowledge of Harris, who bal reasons for not deeming them sufticlent to withbold from Sandersou the accommodation he required, and which had been so frequent ly extended to him This part of the plea may be passed over without further observa to.The facts of real welght are the absence of auttority in Kerrie to accept cheques, and that no consideration was paid by the It surged, on behalf of the plaintiff »n garantie, that the authority of Harris to accept is jucident to Lis office of Manager, and that there is 8 usage among beuks of permitiing their customers to ozerdraw upon the authority oi thu Manager accept- bug such claques.This usage or custom «ppuars to be ustablished, aud to be general, The strongest language is used by some of tbe witneracs, and amoos thom manszers of lanks, to the effect that sub acceptances give 10 the cheques the same valus us the votes of the bauk itself.Such a useage, if at all cena), nukes its mioption by other lauke maîter of necessity.In thls in- ie fact of Sanderson having no fauds in the Bunk brives hit within the category of persons requitiez à credit, and who obtained it frown Hanis Ly bis initialing his cheques, 1f harris Lad the power, the Buuk is bound by bis acceptance, whether judicions ôr other.wire, mil whatever thee motive, particularly in the hauds of La Banque Nationale wlich gave value for them, But Harris is not the only manager that has exescisedt this power, It appears prolable that Me, Christian, the manager preceding Mr.Uarris, gave Sanderson Lis initials to cheques in the sswe way, sud it ix proved that Mr.Henry, the mnsnager who sucecedod Harris, accept od cheques for case tomers by Lis initiale, and thet such chan = were duly paid, So that the power d nied to Harrig in the pleadings was escreiged by Mr, Henry after the diticultios in question ax tu choquer had arisen.À incliné, therefore, to the opinion that the usage among banks of granting credit through their managers, exercised in the way it was in this case, is proved, and that sucli was the usage with the Bank of Muntren] itself, so that the jrabdis would seem Lonnd, But it is further urged by the plaintiff that whatever the power of the manszer under the general ueage, Mr.Hurris must be presumed to Lave had the authority of the Dank to accept Mr, Saudersou\u2019s cheque, from the putdic (xercire of that power for so long a time, with the acquirrcence of the Bank, for wbut better evidence could there be of the mescnt of the Bauk of Mon.tral to this mode of granting credit than tbe tranenetions reguiariy eutered fn the Looks of *the bauk.It follows that the authority of Harris is presumed from provioas conduct of the Bauk of Montreal in recogaiz- ing his acceptance, and this to the knowledge of the City Bank and La Manque Nationale, who received the fuur cheques in question and gave value for them, on the faith of simi.Isr acceptances having always been honored by the Bank of Montreal, The manager of à lank is held out by the bank as Îts general sgent, and it would be productive of much iujuetice if the bank could, after sanctioning 8 particular mode of doing business, suddenly deny the power of ite own officers.ln order to give weight to the objection, itis alleged that there was au officer in the Bank specially appointed to acoept cheques.The reference to this officer is more plausible than real ; it ie necessary to be prepared when a cheque is drawn with the information whether the drawer has fonds to big credit, hence the cheque is bandud to Abe ledger-kecper, who fuitials it, as an ag.thority to the paying teller to honor it.\u2018This is not prop: ily an acceptauce ; the customer bas nothing to do with the operation, This is & mero matter of the internal economy of We bauk.The question b-tween the lank nnd the drawer of a cheque upon it is, funds or no funds, without the operation of the Icdper-koeper induencing that question one way or the other, Mr.Vesina very properly describes the Initials of the manager upon & « heque to be an instruction to the led.ger-kecper to debit the drawcr with the amount, and the paying teller topay it.The intent of the manager in putvug his initials on à cheque is an Instruction te the officers of the bank to give him a credit for the amount of it.\u2018Thinseemn to me to be an act of management incident to the office of manager.1 now come to the most important head of defence, that the plaintiff em garantic gave no value (ar these acceptanoss.This, if trac, in fact, is one of great weight, and would give support to the allegation of & combination to defraud the Bank of Montreal, which slivga- tio2 must be proved as existing, notin latent only, but in isct, in order to support the defence, Now, the evidence leaves no doubt of Akern having given $95,500 of the money of the City Bank for the cheques la questions and that Harris handed the drafts au cheques so given to Me.Christian, who did, in fact, collect the $95,000 from the City Benk, \u201cThat Harris obtained from Ahern the mouvy of the City Bauk for the Bank of Montreal and paid it over fa certain.It is equally true that this motive was to con ceal tha state of Barderson's account.But though such conduct is blameless, I have looked in vata for an actual imud in relation to these cheques, Banderson\u2019s account was not ine cicasued by à single dollar, It was overdrawn at the time, and the Bank of Montreal was informed of the fact, so the whatever the in.teution, nothing that was done did in fact deceive anybody, aud the Bauk of Montreal got fui! vaine for the promise of Harris to pay these chequen, Did the question present itself under the aspect of which of two [anecent persons should suffer loss br the act of Harris, I should think tbat the Bank of Montreal, having put là lo the power of Harris to cause the loss should bear it; but really the question does not prosemé itself in that frm.The City Bank hes paid $05,000 Bank of for thers cheques of the Montreal ; and if ft were to be com.xiled to pay other $95000 to the Banque Kotlonale becanee of the refassl of the Bank of Montreal to honor the ac: ances ft wonld lore this sum, Bat if 1 Rank of Monitenl he made to Per these cheques to La Banque Natiomale, tose nothing, because it hae recived from the Oity Bank 098,008 fon vou œsled opun to dreide whethur the Loss should fail on the one bank or the other.But Harvlg gave bis hoceptatus to get funds for the Bank of Menireal, and, haring got them, be handed them to Mr.Christian, whe pet thesmount in the coffrre of the Dank.In support ot Lis view His Honer read extracte trom several Faglish and Bootch authorities.He went on to sy that the same principles were te he found in our own law, It applied te the prevent case, the manager of a bank would bw considered aû inatésor and would bind bis incipal by bin proper act of administration D bou could thut fail to bo considered & proper act which is proved to be usual with all banks?When one places another at the Lead of « mercantile establishment such as à Lenk, the mazim af law appi.ve gui fucù per alsum facit pies se, Applying these principles, Mr Harris, the * Manager of the Bank of Montreal, obtains fram the City Bajk $95,000 in for bis acceptance of Sanderson's cheques for 8 sall- ar amount, sed gives this sum to the Bank of Moutreal be admetted to coutirm ao much of the transaction ax is beneficial, and to retain the moneys of the City Bank, and to reject tlat part of the transaction which consists in the promise to pay these cheques?Can the bank repudiate the prumise to pay and yet retain the consideration given for it?I sp- probe nd not.There has been Ly the Bauk of ontreal à ratification of Harris\u2019 transaction, +0 Une quivoca! that I cannot arrive at another conclusion than that the
