DANESBURY HOUSE.\u2014CmarTER XVIII.( Continued.) EVIL COURSES.But about this time there appeared to be a change for the better taking place in Lionel.A little for the better; not much.He less frequently forgot himself, came in earlier at night, and was more careful of his dress ; for both he and Robert had fallen into slatternly habits in that respect.The change was hailed with thankful ness by Mrs.Danesbury, who looked upon it as a precursor to reformation.The real cause, however, came to light.The in chiefly frequented by Robert and It was kept by a man named Bing, and his wife, who had brought up their children in rather a superior manner.There were three of them, daughters, showy girls, too showy, the father thought, to wait upon his customers, so two of them had been sent from home to learn the dress-making ; the other Katherine, an exceedingly well-conducted girl, remained with her mother.It began tobe rumoured in Eastborough that Lionel Danesbury had latterly been seen walking with this girl: but, as is often the case, the last person to suspect it was Mrs.Bing, until one evening a gossip went into the Wheatsheaf and asked her if she knew where Kate was.\u201c She's up stairs,\u201d answered Mrs.Bing.\u201cShe went up after tea.\u201d \u201c Did she ?\u2019\u201d quoth the visitor, in a significant tone: \u201c She\u2019s not there now, at any rate.She's in the lane yonder, a-walking with young Mr.Danesbury ; his arm round her waist, and her hands in his, as snug as two can be.\u201d \u201c With young Mr.Danesbury!\u201d uttered the mother, appalled at the news, and then taking refuge in disbelief.\u201c Your eyes must have deceived you.Katherine would not be walking, like that, with a Danesbury, nor with anybody else.She is a properly brought-up girl.\u201d ¢ Bless us, they are all alike.Girls are girls and will have their sweethearts: and so did we, when we were young.But young Mr.Danes- bury's not a suitable one for Kate Bing, and the town\u2019s talking about it.I said I knew you were not encouraging that.\u201d The visitor left, and Mrs.Bing went to the side door and looked out, full of trouble.She remembered that Kate had latterly spent a good portion of her evening time away from her presence, but she had suspected nothing.Itwas a bright night ; and Mrs.Bing presently saw Kate come flying along round the corner of the lane, her cheeks crimson and her eyes bright.\u201c Where have you been?\u201d demanded Mrs.Bing.«T wanted a bit of ribbon, and I ran out to buy it,\u201d was the girl's evasive answer, \u201c Now, if you tell me another word of untruth, I'll send you off to your grandmother's to-mor- row, and you shall never come back of one while,\u201d retorted Mrs.Bing.* You have been walking in the lane with young Mr.Danesbury.\u201d Katherine hung her head, and the crimson of her cheeks spread over her face and neck.\u201cKatherine, have you been walking with him ?\u201d \u201cOh, mother,\u201d throwing herself into her mother\u2019s arms, and hiding her face upon her neck, \u201c he is so fond of me!\u201d Mrs.Bing\u2019s heart went pit-a-pat.\u201c Which of them is it?\u201d she asked.\u2018\u201c\u2018 Mr.Robert, or Mr, Lionel ?\u201d \u201c Mr.Lionel.\u201d \u201cChild,\u201d she said, sitting down, \u201c I had à great deal rather you had struck me a:blow, than told- ; \u201cDon\u2019t say se, mother.You would not, if] + you:did but know the happiness it has brought | to mie!\" Everything in the world seems brighter \u201c Not long.\u201d : \u201cIs it a month?Or two?\u201d \u201cNo, I don\u2019t know that it is.\u201d \u201c Katherine,\u201d resumed Mrs.Bing, \u201cit is just ruin, and nothing else.\u201d Katherine stood up, her eyeindignant.\u201cMother! don\u2019t say such a thing of me! I don\u2019t deserve it.Mr.Lionel wants to marry me.\u201d \u201c Marry the nonsense!\u201d contemptuously uttered Mrs, Bing.\u201c A Danesbury marry one of you! You had better not let such a speech get to Mrs.Danesbury\u2019s ears; she'd box yours.And if he did marry you, it would be ruin, for he is a dreadful drinker.You know he is, Katherine.\u201d \u2018\u201c He is leaving it off.He says he shall leave it off quite, and never take to it again.\u201d \u201cYou leave off walking with him : that is all you need think about leaving off,\u201d retorted Mrs.Bing.; Katherine did not answer.She knew she would break her promise if she gave it; for she had become completely enthralled by Lionel Danesbury.(To be continued.) \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ABRAHAM LINCOLN.The following account of Mr.Lincoln, President elect for the United States, from a private letter, isinteresting not only to Americans, but to every honest man, and affords several hints to those who wish to be honestly, prosperous in the world :\u2014 SPRINGFIELD, ILL.Oct.29, 1860.DEAR Sir, \u2014In reply to your request of the 22d, I will state a few things regarding the man who inevitably is to be our next President, and for whom Illinois, by way of showing her preference over another famous son, will cast a majority of 20,000 on the 6th prox.Mr.Lincoln is a man whom all will respect and love who know him.There is a goodness of soul, generous nature, and, above all, great simplicity of character which deeply impresses every one that hears his voice.As to his fionesty there is not a citizen or politician that dares to question it.When practicing his profession, he never would be employed in a case which he could not honestly advocate without taking advantage of crooks and turns which law gives to lawyers.Consequently his power over a jury was greater than that of any other man, and would always gain the case.His political record is consistent.The principles he now advocates were adopted when he commenced his political career, and which he has firmly maintained, though Democracy has up to 1856, been triumphant here.He is an attendant at the first Presbyterian Church, but not a nfember.He respects religion, believes in its doctrines, feels them important, though he has not made religion a personal matter, as he said to me he ought to have done.He neither uses profane language, drinks, or has anything to do with tobacco in any form, though his father raised it in the garden, and was a great lover of it; he never was tempted himself to use it, and one reason has been that © he knew that he must be made sick by it before he could enjoy it, and did not want to get sick.\u201d Would that every young man took such'a matter of fact view of the case before using it.\u2014 Friends in their calls have been considerate ; still, his cheeks are more sunken, and the bones more prominent than four months ago.He shows the wear 4nd tear incident to his position.If there is any one thing that will make his position trying, it is, in my opinion, his scrupulous regard for the interests of all, and a desire to promote them.While true to the doctrines of the Republican party, no one could be found more ready to favor all parties where it can be done without betraying his own.This noble, generous nature and honesty of heart will account for the hundreds, yea thousands of Democratic votes that will be cast for him in his own and neighbouring States.A fellow-laborer on the flatboat on the Wabash, Charles Hanks, now living in Decatur, said here on the 8th of August, that he had voted the Democratic ticket all bis life (now over sixty years,) but should vote for Abe Lincoln, not because he had changed his politics, \u2018but because old Abe was the honestest man on God's earth.\u2019 Iregard bis nomination as a Providence.God was in the Convention at Chicago.Not only the Republicans but every true patriot should be satisfied with the man and rejoice in bis election, for the good of the country.It is good to contrast the simplicity and purity of the man, with surrounding ambition and corruption, which everywhere abound, There are here two candidates for the Presidency\u2014one traveling over the country, clamoring for the office ; the other, the same affable, quiet, humble citizen, patiently waiting the voice of the people.\u2018 God favor the right.\u201d Mrs.Lincoln will grace the White House, and enjoy it too.Her ambition is equal to the position.A true Kentucky lady\u2014a member of the First Presbyterian Church.Mr.Douglas was here on the 18th.His visit will give in the city and county many votes for Lincoln.© a \u2014 Miss Dix says that ten years ago she esti- | mated the proper subjects for lunatic asylums as one in one thousand of our population.Now, enongh to walk with him ?\u201d LN Toe 0 = DAILY WITNESS.EEE THE PRESENT ASPECT OF EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.(Continued from the Scottish Guardian.) When we turn again to Austria, we cannot but feel that the Government concessions to Hungary, in particular, and to all the provinces, have come too late to augur well for the future.Rather are they calculated to excite alarm by giving reasons to surmise that it is intended speedily to put in action the army of Italy against Sardinia.Austria knows the peril she encounters in the disaffected- ness of her Hungarian troops.She cannot be certain whether, with such elements of discord, she might not for ever destroy her prestige by being beaten by the troops of united Italy.She therefore seeks to secure her triumph by making timely concessions for the abused provinces.The answer, however, will be \u201cToo late.\u201d We do not imagine that the people are to be deceived by such a trumpery pretext as this They know too well that if they thus surrendered their advantage, every concession would be taken away, so soon as its purpose had been served.It is to be noticed that in this important document no reference is made to the withdrawal of the Con- cordat\u2014the greatest evil under which Austria has suffered.These forced concessions will be but coldly received, and will effect but little change in the actual position of affairs.Everything in Italy proceeds energetically.The all but unanimous vote of the Neapolitans shows to the world their hatred of the system by which they have been governed, and the general desire for national unity.The numerously signed petition frem Viterbo, near Rome, in regard to the recent French occupation, gives evidence of the burning desire of the people to be delivered from clerical despotism.The abominable lies of the Romish bishops and papers in this country, in which such reckless men as Dr.Cullen continue to persist, as to the state of feeling in the Papal States, are contradicted by every new event.The people seem scarcely able to realize the fact of their emancipation, so much do they rejoice in it.All Italy is united as one man in rejoicing in the recent change.The soldiers who fought for the former King of Naples were induced by false reports and by promises of plunder.\u2019 It is not to be considered as if they should constitute an exception when they have been hitherto pampered with the plunder and abuse of citizens from which they are now removed\u2014it is to be hoped for ever.If Austria, strengthened by a Russian alliance, venture to interfere, the whole Continent will speedily be involved in war.The French Em- percr might allow the Sardinians to be driven back at first, in order to make him master of the position; but be must speedily interfere, His prestige would be gone if he suffered Italy to fall again under the Austrian power.If he interfere Prussia ispledged to support Austria ; and Russia has probably committed herself to the same course.The war will then be carried to the borders of France, and conducted on the banks of the Rhine.France, strong in the support of the peoples, would probably soon conquer even such a combination, since Prussia would, in these circumstances, enjoy but a faint hearted German support.We hope that this wide-spread calamity may be in time averted\u2014that Austria may not be tempted to take the first step by dangerous promises of aid : but may rather peaceably part, for a fair price, with her last Italian province, which can be to her only an element of weakness, No other course will save Europe from impending war.THE LATE PROGRESS OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.(From the London Times.) The Prince of Wales has now brought to a close his long and laborious progress through Canada, New Brunswick, and the United States.\u2014 Any of our readers whose fortune it may have been to accomplish the same circle must know that, even by a person travelling in a private capacity, master of his own time, and enabled to arrange just as be pleases the intervals of repose and relaxation, such à tour is not accomplished without very considerable fatigue.The extraordinary wetness of the summer has, indeed, saved his Royal Highness and his suite from the burning heat and all-penetrating dust which are the ordinary concomitants of railway travelling in America, but it nevertheless speaks well for the stamina of our Royal House that the Prince seems to have borne up against an ordeal of extraordinary severity with unfailing health and unflagging spirits.It is also most gratifying to England to believe what, considering the sort of observation to which the Prince was exposed, we think we may consider as perfectly plain\u2014that on no occasion has the very young man on whom has devolved the arduous duty of representing the Crown of England and the dignity of its heir apparent in the face of minute, and perhaps not always friendly, criticism, done or said anything which has left behind it an impression other than creditable to himself and agreeable to those with whom he has been brought into contact.\u2014 Such a success argues a tact and discretion on which this country may have great reason to congratulate herself hereafter.We confess that we view the termination of this progress\u2014an experiment so new and in some respects so perilous\u2014with feelings of very con- sh estimates them as one: to 490.means fitted in all respects for a royal visit.We siderable relief.The state of Canada was by no NovEMBER 18, 1860 ak Avs do not believe that there exists in Canada at this moment any considerable feeling hostile to the British connexion, but, though on very good terms with the mother country, the two provinces, and the two nations which inhabit them, are on very ill terms with each other.The contest for political power is unusually keen, men\u2019s minds are more than ordinarily excited, and it required, as our readers will have observed, the utmost prudence and circumspection to save the Prince from being made an accomplice in local and party squabbles, from which, in ordinary propriety and fairness, men of every opinion should have combined to keep him studiously aloof.It is, however, very probable that the firmness and good sense shown in resisting the insolent and vulgar dictation of the Orangemen at Kingston relieved the Prince from other and still greater difficulties.Knowing how large a portion of the population of New York consists of Irish Roman Catholics, the class among the people of the United States most hostile, or we hope we may say alone hostile, to Great Britain ; remembering also how the minds of these men must be inflamed by the present position of the Pope, and the indifferent attitude which England has assumed towards him ; considering also that the visit to New York was paid in the very heat of the Presidential contest, we confess that we were not without misgivings that it might suit the interest of some party or other to get up an anti-English demonstration in New York, which must have ended in a riot, and very possibly in bloodshed.We do not doubt that the chances of this danger were very much diminished by the firm stand which was made against the pretensions of the Orangemen in Canada, at whatever expense of momentary and partial popularity.The only really unpleasant incident which has occurred during the tour was the conduct of the mob at Richmond, the Capital of Virginia.The truth is, Richmond is a place which the Prince should never have been taken to visit.If there be a place justly odious to the feelings of Englishmen and their Sovereign, it is that mart where the human animal, which is now almost the only produce of Virginia, is ruthlessly sold for consumption in the dreary plantations of the South.From such a spot every humane and intelligent traveller turns aside with invincible repugnance, ill-advised as to turn aside from their path to come in contact with this abomination should bave had a specimen of the quality of a population that subsists on the buying and selling of human flesh.A WIFE FOR THE PRINCE.(From the Philadelphia Bulletin.) Let the fair young Americans, who were honored with the hand of the Prince of Wales in a dance.resign all hope of having it for a longer period.A report from Europe says that besides other important things settled during the Queen\u2019s late visit to Germany, a wife was selected for the heir to the crown.The happy lady is the Princess Augusta Louisa Adelaide Caroline Ida, daughter of the Duke of Saxe- Meiningen, who was born August 6th, 1843.As the Prince of Wales was born November 9th, 1841, the young couple will be well matched in years.The Saxe-Meiningen family have a great deal to be proud of in the matter of blood, though not much in territory or political grandeur.~The ducal dominions comprise a territory of less than a thousand square miles, and a population of about 170,000.Meinin- gen, the capital city, bas between six and seven thousand inhabitants.The Saxe-Meiningen family is a branch of the old Saxon royal race to which belong Prince Albert's family and several others that furnish husbands and wives for European royalty.The young lady now spoken of as likely to be a queen of England, will not be first of her family that has had that dignity.Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV., was a princess of Saxe-Meiningen and an aunt of the rumored intended wife of Albert Edward.She was selected as a bride for the then Duke of Clarence after the lamentable death of the Princess Charlotte, when there was danger that of all George the Third\u2019s fifteen children, none would leave alegitimate heir to wear the crown.The Dukes of Clarence, Kent and Cambridge, and the Princess Elizabeth, were all married as rapidly as possible.Queen Adelaide never bore children, and the daughter of the Duke of Kent succeeded William IV.Her son in turn is to marry a niece of her uncle's wife.The German element is becoming more strongly infused into the English royal family than ever, If lineage could be analytically traced, there would be found in Queen Victoria very little of the ancient Plantagenet, Tudor or Stuart blood, and a great deal of the German.Her children have still more of it, man prince, betrothed her second to another, and is likely to marry her oldest sou to a German princess, - her grandchildren will he Eoglish ouly in name and rank.It is probably natural that she and her husband should prefer alliances with their own race.But another reason for selecting German husbands and wives for their children is that Protestant royalty is to be found only in Germany, and as it is considered wrong for an English prince or princess to marr anything below royalty, in title at least, the Protestant reigning families of Germany must be resorted to.Tue SAnpwicH IsLanns.\u2014The Friend of August 1st brings the following interesting intelligence from the Sandwich Islands: \u2014¢ There has commenced a most interesting religious awakening among the natives on the island of Oahu.The first manifestation was witnessed several months since among the people of Kaneohe.The good work spread along the nortbern side of the island, and about one hundred persons have: been added to the church of the Rev.Mr.Kuaia.\" The \u2018\u2018 MONTREAL WITNESB\u201d is printed and published by JoHaN_DOUGLL, Proprietor, at 36 Great St.James\u2019 Btreet.House head\u2019of, Drummond Street.Montreal.and we can hardly regret that those who were so and as she has married her oldest daughter to a Ger- | Gra Gra Mon Lac "]
