consequently it is.folly to wait, Micawber-like, for somothing to turn up.Wo do not refer to building new barns or houses or purchns- ing another or better farm, but to tho improving of what ono already posscsses.Ro- require it, not forgetting tho most important of all, the house, which should hold a man's most valuable troasuros.A few dollars expended in paint may chango the ap- gnce from ono of gloomy solitude to cheerful busy life.Thon comes those little adjuncts of a happy homo known as fruits and flowers ; thoy may not be of tho bost or most costly kinds, but if neatly arranged and carefully cultivated, they afford a cor- tain amount of pleasure, and their refining and elevating influences can scarcoly be overrated.An old clump of lilacs or snowballs kept trimmed, with the soil carefully spaded up and cultivated about their roots, looks far bettor than when noglectod and ermitted to strugglo for lifo in somo neglected fence corner, nearly overtopped in summer by rank weods.Noighbors can ofton exçhange plants with cach other, which begets good feeling ; and if one takes better care of what he has than others do,, it begets emulation, and a little strifo in those matters will ond in good to all, Ifa neighbor has a botter variety of fruit than you have ask for cuttings, scions or plants, and if obtained give them the best of care, which will be proof that you appreciate the gift.Thore is nothing more discouraging to a liboral man who has valuable plants to spare, and takes pleasure in distributing them among his fortunste neighbors, than to find his liberality abused by a neglect of his ifte.5 Wo know men who have boon waiting all their lives for some prospective fortune with which they propose to \u201c fix up things\u201d about their homes and make them attractive ; while if the hours spent in wishing and building air castles had been employed in work, the long and much desired improvements would have been mado years ago.If men wore as prompt in preparing the flower beds or planting currants, raspberries and other fruits as they are in answering the dinner bell, tho wife and daughters would soldom have cause to complain of delays.Tho too common oxcuse among farmers, that they have no time to spond upon such things, is a very poor one, and generally comes from those who have plenty of time for hunting, fishing, and other idle sports.Wo have yet to find a man who do- sired to make the surroundings of his home beautiful who did not find the means and timo to do it.It is not necessary that one should expend much money on these things, for the world is full of beautiful plants that may be had for a mere song, and the woods and fields abound in choice specimens of both fruit and flowers which only require transplapting and caro to add much to the comforts as well as beauty to our homes.It is a lamentable fact which every man and woman with cultivatod tastos regrots, that tho homes of our farmers as a general rule arc unattractive and dreary in the extreme.All this comes of that dreary and widespread and almost universal habit of « waiting\u201d for something which will never come.Fhis habit has become hereditary in communities, and there appears to be no chance of eradicating the evil except by awakeping the dormant, but it is to be hoped not quite extinct natural pride of the procrastinators.: Of late we have heard much talk abo: the sons of our farmers leaving the farm, and we believe there are and sufficient reasons for it, among which the unattrac.tiveness of hone is the most prominent and powerfal.If a man waits until his sons and daughters up to be men and women betore he attempts to teach them how to enjoy life in the country and upon a farm, he must expect to fail, for the twig is bent long before this pdriod arrives, and the tree usually inclines tv go its own way when mature.Now there is no good reason why a farmer\u2019s life should not be an attractive one, and that itis, even to thousands who have no need of following it for a living, is shown fn the farms owned and manag by wealthy people who made their money in other occupations.Mankind ure prone to love the places that have afforded them the most pleasure, and a boy who has been made happy upon à farm is not likely to desert it or value his home lightly, even if the prospects of great wealth are not among its charms, Bat ft is the eame old story of waiting which chuses all the trouble.Next year the farther ises to have the garden laid out, the lawns made and orchard planted.Next year the children shall have pronty of books and new to read.e boy who would be delighted to study entomo- to learn all about the useful aid upon the frm ;

that is to say, be did not think that $10 a day would bo at all much.At the sworagp length of the sessions, however, tho omolument at the proposed rate would bo at the rate of $30 per day, which he did pot think the electors would think either right or proper, but on the contrary, entirely beyond the bounds of propriety.fir ONESs said the hon member for Cha.tenuguay was accustomed to spend a great charged their duties, and that the rules and regulations of the Post-offico Department were carriod out.It was well known that the Act provided that the postmasters in cities and towns shall not in any way interfere with or vote in olections, but that post masters in country places or villages, not incorporated as towns, shall bo at perfoct liberty to act as they please in reference to political matters.It was also known as a matter of fact that during the recent elections postmasters in towns and cities did take a very prominent part, and did make themselves very active political partisans.They canvassed, on behalf of Government candidates, and oven presented themselves as voters and voted at elections.The Postmaster at Kingston, he was informed, had done so.After commenting at length on Mr Griffin's conduct, he moved the following resolution :\u2014\u201c That it is highly erimi- nal in any Minister or Ministers, or other servant of the Crown, to use the powers of their office in the election of representatives to serve in Parliament, and that any at tempt at using such influence will at all times be resented by this House, as aimed at its own dignity, honour, and indepen- detice ;

Post-office Inspector's Office, London, Ont, 16th November, 1872.Dear Sir, \u2014Allow me to drop you a word of caution with respect to your conduct in the election now coming off in Welland.So long as it suits your interest or convenience and you remain postmaster, you cannot with propriety take any part against the Government, whose servant you are.If you cannot support Dr King take no active part against him, and give no grounds of complaint against yourself.Answer how this is.GILBERT GRIFFIN, Post-office Inspector.J.Rennie, Eeq., Postmaster, Ellenburgh, did attempt to use such influence in the said election, and that the ssid Gilbert Griffin deserves the censure of this House.\u201d (Cheers.) He said the motion was couched in nearly similar terms to one carried in the English Parliament on a similar subject.(Cheers.) - Dr TuUPPER said Mr Mackenzie had built æ deal of the time of the House on points of (order, and he did not think it was fair to | charge them with the motives which he had i charged them with.He said that hon moem- ber had made his money by contracts with the Government of the old Province of Que- bee, and it did not become him to speak as bo bad done.1ie abarged bim with being afraid of his constituency iu opposing this motion.Mr MAcpoxaLp (Glengarry) said 1t did not become the hon member for Leeds and Grenville to make any remarks about the hon member for Chatcauguay, seeing that the old Parliament of (guchec had been engaged a long time in enquiring into a case in which the hon member himself was concerned in reference to a contract.He was perfectly satisfied with the amount now paid, and he did not think that it should be charged against any person always returned by such large majorities as he had been with being afraid of his constituents.He thought the members werp sufficiently paid for all the good they did, and fer his own part he did not want more, and was much opposed to the principle.A Voice\u2014Uive it to the poor, then.Mr MacpoNaLD continued to say that what he gave to the poor he would give out of his own pocket, and not out of the funds of the country.(Hear, and cheers.) Mr JoLy objected to voting a block sum of 870,000 to increase the salaries of those in the Civil Service, and leaving it to the government to distribute it ss they saw t.Sir Joun A.MacDoNALD said that in reference to the equalization of the salaries of the different Provinces, that this equalization would not be finally settled until Princo Edward Island joined the Union.The present résolutions had been drawn up for the purpose of mecting the exigencies of the present case.He thought it would be be- jeved thdt the Civil Service of all grades and classes, including the Ministers of the Crown, were not sufficiently paid.The first resolution affected the Lieutenant.Governors of the different Provinces, and it pro- to add $2,000 per annum to their salaries.When all the salaries of the Lieuton- ant-Governors wero fixed, it would be remembered that it was generally remarked that the salaries were insufficient.In alluding to the office of Lieutenant Governor, he thought it was a highly honourable one.large structure upon 8 very slendor basis.The Post Office Department was admirably managed and few or none of the charges of undue political influence through it, brought this session by the Opposition, had borne investigation.There could not be a single case shown where a single office-holder had been dismissed by the Government on account of his political principles.Ontario was filled with officers of to the Government, and with ters who considered it their iret duty to act as agents for The Globe newspaper.The very greatest latitude had been allowed to officers to exercise their political functions.There wore many cases where the officers opposed the Government, and they had nover been interfered with, farther than a friendly and proper suggestion, such as that contained in Mr Griffin's letter.It was not seemly that an officer under the Government of the day should take an active part in opposition to that Government.Where were they to draw the line?Suppose there should bea change of Government, would it be seemly for a de- pr head of a department to appear on the ustings in bitter opposition, ape to the very man who was to be his chief, and with whom ho would have to be in daily intercourse, and whom he would have to supply with information ?He belioved the mem for Welland would be the last man to com- lain of this letter of Mr Grifin\u2019s.Mr Grifin been informed that the masters ot Welland were working acti against the Government candidate.Was that seemly ?It was in the public interest nt chere should be public

several Lieutenant Governors that although they had a full and high appreciation of the honour, it was pe.cuniarily a loss to them.The country was in euch a financial position that they ought not to expect Lieutenant Governors to be at & loss.Mr CAmmRoN (Cardwell) called attention to the salaries the Ministers ofthe Crown, and to the delicsey they would have in moving in this regard, Also pointed out the necessity there was for an increase in their salaries.Mr AngLiv thought that, even with the increase, the Lieutenant Governors would not their salaries sufficient to live in the style they were expected to keop up, and thought it would be advisable to allow the salaries to romain as they wore, that Lieut.Governors should not be expected to live in a big house, and in state.At present a poor man oonld not accept a Lieutenant Gover norship, and be did not think tho additional pa would be adequate.tre resolutions regarding tho Lieutonant Governors and Judges were cauried ; the Judges of this Province receiving an increase of one-fourth.After somo convorsa.tion regarding the indemnity to members, and the propriety of stating a given number of days, that resolution was also passed.Fatpar.Mr BonwBLL presented the second report of the Committeo on a Prohibitory Liquor Law.The report enumsrated the evils oswsed by intoxicating liquor, that the feeling of the country was evidently in favor of a ibitory law, and that after considering the on of the Maine Liquor Law were of opinion that the enactment of a ibitory law would diminish the drink.Rm En bo such that évils

the suspicious looking conduct of the Government in this matter, of their granting a charter only two weols before the time the House ought to meet ; of the assembling of Parliament being purposoly delayed until all the arrangements had been completed and tho gentlemen who had got the charter had gone to England.If the charter was not submitted this session and assuming that the gentle men in England succeedod in their nogotia- tion, the House would be told next seasion, if action was now delayed, that it was bound to sanction the charter\u2014that it has the right to object, but it must not do so; as they will destroy tho prospects of the country.He commented on the delay of the great measures of the Government to the very last moment, whon they would seek to hurry every\u2019 item through at the end of the session.Dr TuPPER spoke of Mr Blake's course as factious ; that ho and his party had tried to strangle the project in its passage through the House, but Parliament had differed from him and decided by an overwhelming majority that it was in the interest of the country that ths work should be undertaken.What followed 9?Thy hon gontle- man wont to the country, and his friends used the mode Parliament\u2019 had adopted for carrying out this work as a stalking horse to bring himself and his party into power, and the country rang with denunciations of the Government and ita policy in relation to that work.As Parliament decided against him, so the country decided against him.Under the circumstances, the hon members opposite might have accepted tho statement of the first Minister that he did not think it was gzdyisable to bring that question before the consideratio, cf l\u2019arlia- ment while matters were in their prescnt condition in regard to the negotiations by which this country, he might confidently hope, would bo gzccossful ip bringing the millions of foreign capitai into Canada required for the construction of our açific Railroad.Mr MAGKRNZIB BAi4 the prombers of the Opposition had, instead of exhausting thelr strength and ability in opposing tho Pacific Railway measure, forborne up to this hoar to discuss it.If the delegates wore successful, why was tho House ased to vote half a millign dollars and why did the Lo?gentleman not want discussion ?Aftor some further debato, the mstter dropped.\u2018 Mr Jory wished todiroct the attention of tho House to the conduct of tho Rev Mr Ancient in saving life from the wreck of the Atlantic, which Te thought deserved substantial recognition, Mr MITCHELL said a suitable acknowlidg- mont of his services would be made.The Estimates were then gone on with,one item of $25,000 for dredging out slabs and other mill rubbjsh from the channel of the Ottawa, gave rise to some copvpraation in which the injury to our rivers by allowing mills to throw their refuse into thom was commented on.Mongar.Mr MAOKENZIE said that there was nothing more difficult than to effect an isolation between Parliament and the enterprises with which the country was connected.It ublic worka were fo be conducted to their egitimate conclusion, ~ then Parliament should have supreme control over them without being influenced by individual members who might be interested in them.It had been decided in the matter of the Pacific Railroad that no members of Parliament should be Directors of it, but it had not been decided that they should not have a contract.If the contracts were sublet, and the contractors got seats in this House, there was nothing more natural than to suppose that they would oxorcise théir infu- ence to obtain better terms, Ho, therefore, thought it advisable that in order to pre vent any such influence being used, persons interested should not be allowed in this House.He had argued last year that such influence would frequently be brought bear on Government, and he, as then, maintained that thoso companies should not be in a position to control politics.From the history ¢f the country we found that railway and other corporations, articularly one, had exercised an undup influetico j the past.He thought that in ail probabil.ily the Pacific Railway might obtain such an influence as would enable them to over power the voice of the House.There were gentlemen who also supplied rollin stock, &c., to it who might exorcise a similar influence in this direction.He objected to Parligment being made a tool in the hands of companies who desire to havo a larger amount of subsidy or being placed in à position of dependence upon them.Ite moved, theroforo, seconded by Hon, Mr Holton, that the House go into Committee on the resolution \u201c That it is expedieht to provide that no person having a pecuniary interest or contract in the Canadian Pacific Railway be eligible to be elected to occupy 8 seat or vote in this Parliament.\u201d Dr TuPPER said that the sonse of the Houyso last segsion was expressed in opposition to tbe principle contained in the pre sont proposition.Although thero was considerable force in some of the argumonts Lio interest to afirm the principle of this re- ution.t à comstituency indapendently if he a contrapt for the construction of twenty miles of the Canada Pacific Railway.There was probably not a railway in Ontario such propositions as now submitted wis not affirmed, but it was left to be brought forward by the hon member for Lambton, be- causo his party opposed the Pacific Rsil- way, and the Company chartered with its construction.Mr CHARLTON said that already the effect of the Pacific Railway was evident in this House ; it influenced the land policy of this country.He reforred to the Erie, the Vanderbilt, and other \u201c rings\u201d in the Unit ed States, and said that now was the time for Parliament to step in and prevent the establishment here of such organizations.After a long debate, a vote was reached, when Mr Mackenzie's motion was lost by 86 to 63.Holton and Scriver voted for it ; Robillard against, The rest of the sitting was taken up with business of no great interest.An enquir by Mr Anglin showed that leprosy prevail od in a section of New Brunswick.The Government said it would not interfere ; that it was a matter for the Local Legislature to attend to.\u2014 BAD NEWS FROM THE POLAR RXPE- DITION.IN tho summer of 1871 their sailed from New York a vessel named the Polaris, equipped mainly by the American Government, to explore the Polar regions, and if possible reach the North Pole.The vessel wag commanded by Captain Hall, an experienced Arctic explorer.Last week the steamor Tigress, a Newfoundland sealer, arrived at Bay Roberts, N.F., with a part of the crew of the ill-fated Polaris on board, whom sho had picked up in latitude 53.There story is very interesting, and is as follows: : On the 24th of August, 1871, we left Tos- sinsaçk, and went through Smith's Sound.We succeeded in geting &s far north as latitude 82.06, when we refturgèd and winter- od at Polaris Bay latitude 81.38, long.61-44.On the 10th of October Captain Hall started on a sledge journey north and returned on tho 4th, when he was taken sick, and died on the Sth of November; ho was buried on the 11th.The attack that carried him off was ssid tq be apoplexy.On the ath of June, 1873, we attempted -¢o reach tho pole with two boats, (Jn the'return of this expedition, which failed its ob- lect, on tho 8th of July we started for home.On the 12th and 15th of August wo wore bosot in ice in latiiids 80.02, We drifted from there down to latitude 77.35, when we cncountered 9 hcayy ecuth-west gale, the ship being undor hoavy pressure.Fearing she would bo crushed to pieces, Captain Tyson, who had succeeded in place of Captain Hall, gave orders to prepare to leave the ship.On the night of the 15th Wè comuwvbse, to put provisions,&c., on the ice, tho vessel being reported lzgking very badly.At times we continued landing provisions for two or three hours.When the pressure ceased (Capt.Tyson says) I wont on hoard the vessel and asked the sailing master if the vossel was making any more water than usual, He reposted that she was not.I than went to the pumps and a certained that she was not making any more than she was doing all summer.I wont on the ice again, and shortly after it began to crack, and in a few minutes after broke in many places.The vessel, to our horror, broko from the fastenings, and was soon Jost tc sight in the darkness and storm leaving us an the ice.yn the Lroken ice wero most of our provisions to sustain our party through the winter, and seeing nothing of the vessel wo attempted to reach the shore in hopes of finding tho natives to assist us in living through the winter.Getting about half way to shore with our heavy laden boats, our progress became hard by the drifting ice and | was compelled to haul on tha ice again ; at this time I succeeded in bread, 10 dozén pound cans of meat and soup, }4 hams, 1 small bag charcoal, weighing 33 pounds, some musk ox skins, a fow blankets, and a number of rifles and abyn- dant ammunition.In the morning, knowing that I had not provisions enough and other articles of food, clothing, compasses, &c., to keep us all winter, on the abatement of the gale 1 endeavored to shoot as many seals as possible, both for food, light and fuel, but could only get three, bad weather aving set in, J supposed the wind to be about southwest ; on ite'clearing up I found myeolf within eight miles of what] supposed to be the east coast, and about 30 or 40 miles below the ship.The ice being weak, I could not transport a boat and provisions to land until it grew stronger.hile here I discovered my other boat, bread, &c., and saved all.The ico grew firm, and I made another attempt to reach the shore, carry.em on\u2019 their kèels.The jco being ex- coedingly rough stove the boats, We ~suc- ceaded on the Ist of November in getting about half way to the shore, Night came on, and very stormy weather.In tho morning the ice was broken and we were drifting southward very fast.Wo saw no more land for many days.Bad weather continu ed all through the month of November.We built snow-houses, and made ourselves as comfortable as wo could.We were 10 Whito men, 3 Esquimaux, 2 women, and 5 ut forward in its support, tho adoption of the resolution would BY fraught wi on man and probably insuperable difficulties.Jt was

YESTERDAYthe steamboat \u201c Louis Renaud\u201d left Beauharnois for Montreal, at 4.15 number of cattle, pigs, &c., on her main deck, and between 125 and 150 passengers.Everything went smoothly, and about 6 p.m.those on board congregated on the promenade deck to watch the steamor shoot the Lachine Rapids.Captain Rankin, her old and skilful commander, was at his appointed post, while within the pilot-house he sturdy helmsmen guided the boat through the channel.She was just onter- ing the rapids, and flying through the foam.covered water at a high rate of speed, when suddenly a vibration was felt through her length and broadth.« What's that 7 was asked anxiously, and before an answer could be given, the steamer rose on a billow and struck heavily again on the rocks on the north side of the channel.Shrieks arose from the females and little children ; a general rush was made for stanchions, ropes or any support at hand, while the steamer went bumping along over the rocky river bed.However, she did not go far before she careened over slightly and became fixed among the rocks.During this terribly exciting scene the Low of the steamer had been smashed in ; tho firemen had vacated their place below, as the water rushed into the hold ; while a dense cloud of steam came up from the boilers, filling the between decks and scalding several persons.Among theso are Mr Hedge and daughter.Assoon as the vessel stopped, the frightened passengers crowded round the officers, asking whethor thero was danger of the boat swinging round broadside to the current and capsizing.Captain Rankin, however, calmed their fears and gave orders to \u201claunch the boats.\u201d This wasdone, and number one conveyed the captain ashore to Isle-aux-Heron, where ho went to secure assistance.The second boat soon followed with several passengers, making in all about 20 persons who wore rescuod before nightfall.Mr Coil McFee, of Ieauharnois, a passenger, says ;\u2014\u201c After the first alarm had subsided, the women and children remained in the saloon.Upon my asking Captain Rankin the cause of tho accident, the latter replied, \u2018You see in summer, when the river is low, the water runs from each side into the channel ; but now, when it is so high, the reverse is the caso, thus causing steamers to swerve [rom the centre.\u201d Mr Me- Fee says, \u20181 went ashore to the island before dark : The boats could not get back to the steamer on accaynt of the swift current.Somo boatmen on the other shore, seeing the wreck, camo over in their canoes and commenced ferrying the passengers across to the Isle, bringing 4 or each.The men, however, seeing the hard work before them, asked to be paid for their trouble, and when the canoes went to the steamboat at first demanded from $2 to 810, for each passenger rescued, the latter sum being actually paid by at least one passenger.The officers of the steamer named a certain sum, but it was considered far too small, Eventually the men agreed to ferry the people ashore for $2 a head, the work of saving life now commenced in earnest, and the canoe men worked faithfully and steadily from 9 a.m.till about 3 this morning, when it became so dark thoy had to stop till half-past four, whon they commenced running again, until five o'clock, when, we believe, all were taken off.À fow unappalled persons retired to rest in tho staterooms of the steamor until their turh came to ashore ; bat the majority sat patiently in the cabins, listening to the moans of the dying cattle below, and tho sigh and rush of the water as it as they came ashore, were accommodated in à house upon the island.Early this morning some of the passengers wero ferried across to tho mainland and came to the city.The «

saved.It is said Captain Rankin was piloting the steamer \u2019down\u2014 being near the wheel-house at the time of the accident, and directing the helmsmen how to steer, \" o7nsR aÉcoUNTs.Mr C.Parham

they lie in great agony.Mr Hedges is the most seriously injured, being scaldod about the face, which is swollen to an enormous size, and his daughter is scalded in tho arms and legs, and lies moaning

I might have paid no mare attention to this dog, for thero aro enough of whom I take no notice ; but I observed that he had a collar round his neck, and that to this collar was attached a basket.This sot me thinking ; for a dog who carries a basket is cither a dog sent out on an orrandg or a runaway dog who has left his master and does not know whore togo.Now which could this one be ?If he was a dog that ran on errands, why did not his owners feed him better, so that his ribs should look less sparo ?But if ho was a dog who had loft his master, and run away into the world to face care and trouble alone, what hardships or what cruelties had he had to suffer, that he should have taken such a stop in despair?I felt I should like to have those questions answered, for thero was something of a mystory in them; I therefore followed the dog.$e were in Oxford street, in that part of Duke street, and the dog was running in the directipn of the Regent Circus.It was a dull wot day in winter ; the rain had been falling.A gray fog was spreading its vapors along the road, and every one looked cold and uncomfortable.A few shops were being lighted up here and there, for evening was sotting in.But the contrast between the glare of the gas and the occasional glow of the red coal fires burning\u2019 cheerily in the grates of ground floor parlors only served to make tho streets seem more dark and dreary.And yet tho dog wont pattering on, going at a sort of quick jog-trot pace, keeping his ears always down, and paying no attention either to the omnibuses that rolled by him, the costermongers who swore at him, or the other dogs who stopped at times with a puzzled air, and gaged at him with silent wonder.I had to step out fast to keep up with him.It is astonishing how that squalid dog \u2018could trot.I was afraid more than once that he would distance me, but, thanks to the knack he had of always keeping to the middle of the road, I was prevented from losing sight of him.We passed North Audley street, after that Duke street, and wo came opposite a small street which forms a very narrow and dirty thoroughfare at the end which is nearest Oxford street.1lere the dog paused for a moment and appeared to hesitate what he should do.He made a few steps forward, then receded ; but finally seemed to make up his mind and entered the stre@t still trotting.There was no one there.The dim drizzling rain, which had begun to fall again, the cold, and the fog had all scared away the habitual frequenters of the one or two sordid cook shops that line both sides of the way.Thero was only a rag-and-bone man sorting broken bottles at his door and coughing wheezily from old ago and misery.The dog went on.The street grows wider as one proceeds, and the houses also become better and cleaner.I asked myself whether the dog could possibly have his home about here, and whether he would not suddenly disappear down an area, in which case the romance of the thing would have been end- od, and I should have had my walk for nothing.But no, he turned abruptly off at a mows, and after a few seconds of the same apparent hesitation as before, slackened his pace and stopped opposite a public house.A mews is never quite empty.There are always grooms loafing about in doorways, or stable-boys going in and out of wash- houses.At the moment when the deg and I appeared a coachman was harnessing two horses to a brougham, and a couple of men were helping him.ise, and exchang- remarks with them from the threshoid the public house, stood a servant in breeches smoking a long clay pipe ; thed was standing still ; but all at once, before had time to suspect what was going to happen, he rose up on his hind legs and commenced walking gravely round in circles, The man with the breeches and clay pipe uttered a cry of surprise.The two ot and the coachman raised their heads, and, wpon seeing this strange night, left their work and clustered up to look.À few thore le attracted by the noise came and pind us.We soon formed a ring.1t seemed to please the dog to ses ws all around him, for he pravely wagged his tail once to and fro, and tried to put more t into his exercise.He walked five round on bis hinder logs, looking fixedly before him like a soldier on daty, and doing his best, poor dog I\u2014I could see that\u2014to make us laugh, or my part, sesing the others remain sposchless in their astonish.aloud to encourage him ;

ho earns the bread of his master.Good people, do not keep him from roturning to his home.\u2019 The dog thanked me for my offering by wagging his tail, and then passed on to my neighbor.Human nature must be kinder than people think, for there was not one of the specta- tors\u2014not even he with the breeches and the clay pipe, whose face had impressed me uniavorably\u2014-but gave the dog somothing.As for him, when ho had gono his rgund, he barked two or three times to say goodby, and then pattered contentodly away at the same jog-trot pace he had come.Ho went up the street, and 1 followed bim, but when we had reached Oxford street hoe quickened suddenly, and began to run hard, as if his day was ended.and he wanted to get home.Evening had quite fallen by this time, and I felt it would be useless to go after my four-legged mystery on foot, so I called a cab, and said : ¢ Follow that dog,\u2019 very much to tho driver's amazement.It is a long way from tho part of Oxford street in which we were to Tottenham Court road, where the small dog led mo.But I should have understood the journey had it not been made at such a furious pace.The dog never once looked round.Twenty times I thought he would bo crushed by passing vans or carriages; but somehow he got through it.IIe had an extraordinary tact for finding a passage between horses, and, like a trug London dog as he was, he showed intimate familiarity with all the intricacies of crossings.Still, it was some relief to me, both on his own account and on mine, when I saw him branch off at last.I was beginning to fear that ho would nover stop, that he had something of the Wandering Jow in him.It seemed impossible that, without taking any rest, without even pausing for an instant to breathe, such a very lean dog should keep on going so long.Tottenham Court road.(this was about eighteen months ago) used to be a sort of fair at night time.Itisa lengthy highway running amid a tangled network of sorry streots, the population of which, from dusk until the hour when the public houses close, used to spread hungry and idle among the countless booths which had then not yet been swept nway, and where shell-fish, sour fruit, and indigestible.looking meat were sold by yelling costermongers.On the night in question, when I went there in pursuit of the dog, I foresaw that I should led to one of those sickly nets of fever, were poverty, disease, and misery have their abodes set up in permanence; and I was not wrong.The dog, running faster than ever now, as if ho felt more afraid for his basket among these ravenous crowds than he had done at the West End, bolted suddenly up a narrow side street, where there was no room for a cab to pass.I paid the driver, and jumped out.It was a filthy street, but that was a secondary matter.Whore the dog wont I would go; and thus I dodged after him, first down a crooked alley, then through a foul court, and lastly up a passage where it was pitch dark.Here I groped my way along a damp wall, and stumbled upon the firat step of a staircase.Boing a smoker, however, I had some vesuvians about me.T struck one, lit a piece of twisted paper with it, and by the moment's flame thus obtained descried the dog making its way up a creaky flight of wooden steps, battered in places and rotting from mould.Io barked when he saw the light, and growled uneasily.But I softened my voico, and cried out, \u2018 Good dog ! good dog!\u2019 trying thereby to appoase him.suppose bis instinct told him that I was not an enemy, for he turned round to sniff my trousers, and when I struck a second vesu- vian he consented to my accompanying him without doing anything else but continue bie-snifing.We went up three stories in this way, until we reached the garret floor.There were two doors face to face, and one of them had a Iatch with a piece of string tied to it.Tho string dangled with a loop atitsond to within a fow inches of the ground.The dog raised ono ot, his fors- paws, passed it on the loop, and by «this means opened the door.We both walked in together.There was a rush light burning in the neck of a ginger-beer bottle.There was an empty saucepan in a grate without a fire.Some tattered clothes were hanging on the back of a broken chair, and some bits of plaster, fallen from a cracked ceiling, wero encumbering the floor.On the splintered deal table was a plate with a eolitary bone on it, and next to it a cup with tho handle gone, I turned from the sight of these things to a mattress laid in the corner of the room.The light was rendered so flickering by the gusts of wind that swopt through thd window\u2014to which bits of newspaper had been pasted for want of glass\u2014 that I could not, at first distinguish ve clearly where I was and wbat I saw.could only hear the affectionate whinings of the dog, and vaguely seo him leaping upon some one against whom ho was rubbing his head, and whose face he was licking with exubersnes of love.I heard a voice, too ta voice so husky and broken, that it resembled s whispor\u2014 feebly, \u2018 Good dog\u2014good Jim !\u2019 and then I saw a hand untie the basket, and heard the sound of money poured out on the couch.at \u2018Good Jim l\u2014good Min!\u2019 went on the some absent master had ht and doing so of his own accord, with a secret end in view that he himself onl oould know of.After tasing a moment's Test, be sot to work again, but this téme on his forefest, pretending to stand oa kis heed, And what a poor, intelligent head it was;

honest people, though poor, who pretended to believe in the fevered wretch\u2019s tales of want, in order that he might not have cause to dread them, and so refuse their necessary services.There is a great deal of this innate unsuspected delicacy in the hearts of the working poor.These rough and uncouth, but kin 5 natures tended the graceloss miser in his sickness.They bought his food for him, they washed his linen, and they asked no payment for anything thoy did.As for the unhappy man\u2019s gold, it was at their Mercy;

that in the opinion of the House it is deairable to redress the inequalities in the distribution of political power in the Unwed Kingdom.He complained that thô legitimate influence of large and important towns was swamped by small and decaying.boroughs, in which the power of a single individual was paramount over the consti- tuoncy.Sir Charles continued at groat length, pointing out the existing anomalies in representation, and concluded by declaring that the time of tinkering had gene by, and a completo and thorough revision was the only romedy.Mr George Anderson, member for Glas- w, soconded the motion.He showed that ngland was entitled to 490 instead of 493 members of Parliament, Ireland to 89 instead of 105, and Scotland to 79 instead of 60.There were eight constituencies,

MISCELLANEOUS.The Challonger recently dffived at St Thomas, whence a letter has come stating the following curious facts:\u2014The sounding line and dredge have been kopt constantly going.The former showed that a pretty level bottom runs off from the African coast, deepening gradually to a depth of 3125 fathoms at about one third of the way across to the West Indies.If the Alps, Mont Blanc and all, wero submerged at this spot, there would still be half a milo of water above them.Eivo hundred miles further west there is a comparatively shallow, part, a little less than two miles in depth.The water then deepens again to three miles, which continues close over to the West Indies.At the deepest spots both on the east and west sides of tho Atlantic, the dredge brought up a quantity of red clay, which contained just sufficient animal lifo to prove that life exists at all depths.No difficulty was experienced in obtaining theso deep-sea dredgings, and it was merely a question of patience, each haul occupying twelve hours.In depths over two miles littlo has been found, but that little was totally new.Onc of the lions of the cruise is a now spocies of lobster, perfectly transparent.The Challenger, net content with obtaining animals so fully developed that the body may bo said to bo an appendage to the eyos rather than tho eyes to the body, has now dredged up a new crustacea in which the body has cut itself clear of the eyes altogether, and the animal is totally blind, It has no eyes, ar evan the traco of an eye.To mako up for its deficiency, nature has supplied it with the most beautifully developed delicate lady-like claws, it one may use the term, it is possible to conceive.Nearer the West Indies, in thedepth of only half a mile, some similar creatures were brought up, and hero the claws, longer than the body, aro armed throughout with a multitude of spike-like teeth, looking more like a crocodile\u2019s jaw than anything olse.A curious quarrel has arisen in Jerusalem between the Latin and Greek Churches relative to the replacing of the tapestry in the Grotto of the Nutivity at Bethlehem, which was burned two years ago.The Turkish authorities, rather than have any trouble between the two Churches, determined to replace the tapestry themselves.The Turkish upholsterers, however, are proverbially lazy, and, whilo they were dilly-dally- ing over their work, the Latin Patriarch had a new tapestry made and put up at a certain time when his priests had possession of the Grotto.Bethlehem was immediately in a ferment.Riots ensued, but the curtains wero finally left under protest, pending an appeal to Constantinople.The Groek Patriarch has appealed to the Rus- at Constantinople, and also directly to the Parte, while the Latin Patriarch has appealed to the French Ambassador, citing legal authorities which give to his communion the primacy at Bothlehom.No hint is yet afforded of the decision which A word of ondearment | the Porte will mako in its

the famous English anemone that the * guidman\u201d gathers for Physician, has addressed a letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, expressing his opinion as a professional man in relation to the habitual use of fermented liquors as a beverage.He says :\u2014+ I have long had\u2019 the conviction that there is no greater cause of evil, moral and physical, in this country, than the use of alcohalic beverages.I do not mean by this that extremo indulgence which produces drunkenness.The habitual use of fermented liquors to an extent far short of what is necessary to produce that condition, and such as is quite common in all ranks of society, injures the body and diminishes the mental power to an extent which I think fow people are aware of.Thus, I have no hesitation in attributing a very large proportion of some of the most painful and dangerous maladies which como under my notice, a8 well as those which evory modical man has to treat, to the ordinary and daily uso of fermented drink taken in the quantity which is conventionally deemed moderate.If I ventured one step further, it would be to express a belief that there is no single habit in this country which so much tends © deteriorate the qualitios of the race, and so much disquali- es it for tho endurance in that competition which in the nature of things must exist, and in which struggle the prize of superiority must fall to the best and to the strong.ost.\u201d Ier Majesty the Queen on Thursday 17th April presented new colours to the 79th (Cameron) Highlanders at Parkhurst, Isle of Wight.In doing

on the 11th ult, About 10 o'clock a.m.Judge Lawson con.menced his charge to tho jury.It will be remombered that the evidence and all (he circumstances of the caso established beyond a doubt that Miss Ker wns murdered while her servant was away at chapel, and that Jane Toner was killed the moment she returned to Croft Lodge.In the course of tho charge his Lordship reminded the jury that they were trying Miss Ker's case only.If they believed Miss Ker was of irritable temperament, and hearing a noise came down stairs, caught the prisoners robbip the.house, and endeavoured to strike them although tho prisoners had no right to be there, the jury would be justified in finding a verdict of manslaughter.Having review.od the evidence minutely the jury retired.During tho delivery of the charge Mary Rea was cool and collected.Charlotte scom- ed to bea littlo nervous.Amid great ox.citemont the jury returned into Court at two o'clock.The Clerk of tho Crown said \u2014Gentlemen, havo you agreed to your vor diet ?Tho Foreman\u2014Wo have.Tho Clerk of the Crown\u2014You say, gontlemen, that you find the prisoners guilty of manslaughter.Mr Justice Keogh then proceeded to pass sontence at considerable length, and sentonc.ed the prisoners to penal servitudo for life.During the course of the delivery of tho sen.tonce Charlotte cried bitterly, and protested her innocence.Mary thanked Mr Porter, Q.C, for his abla defence.The greatest intorest was manifested as to the rosult of the trial, but it was genorally believed, until Judge Lawson mentioned manslaughter in his charge, that the prisoners would both be convicted of murder.Tho papers recolved by late mails give us details of the war between tho Dutch and the Atchineese, of which the Atlantic Telegraph has given us frequent though pro vokingly brief and obscure despatches.First of all, the Atchineese are a somi-savage peo- le who inhabit the northern portion of the island of Sumatra, while the Dutch possess the other or southern half.The Atohineese have always been bad neighbors to the Dutch from the timo they first established a colony in Sumatra, but finally after repeat.od outbreaks and some hard fighting many years ago a treaty was made by which the Atchineese promised not to intorfere or in- juro the Dutch in any way.This treaty as been, according to the Dutch, constant ly violated.The Dutch say that the At.chineese arc slave-traders ; that they share the profits of piracy ; that they accumulate armaments threatening to their neighbors in Java and elsewhere, and that thoy are perpetually getting up raiding parties to steal men and goods from contiguoas\"territories.Accordingly, negotiations having failed, just as those of the Russians with tho Khan of Khiva, an expedition \u2018was organized and dispatched by Holland against At.cheen to inflict punishment and enforce redress.The forces consisted: originally of 5,000 troops, including infantry, cavalry, and artillery.At first the expedition soem.ed quite successful.The enemy either re treated or succumbed, until at length the invading army reached Natron, a fortified place, where the Atchineese had ovidontly propared for a resolute stand.The Dute after eitting down before this stronghold, dolivered a general assault, and we now have dotails of the result.The attack was repulsed with great slaughter.The Dutch General was killed, and his army put to disastrous flight.It appears, indeed, to have been literally decimated, since a loss of 500 in killed and wounded is admitted by the officers.Driven to the sea-shore, and ponned up there in their stockades, the Dutch troops maintained most precarious footing for some days and thon ombarked on the flect that camo for them, for the rainy season was fast appreaching, gud they were sorely pressed by their victorious foes.That the repulse is regarded as most serious may be inferred {rom a rocont debate in the Parliament at The Hague, when a member declared that the enterprise, taken altogether, will prove the last blow to tho authority of Holland in tho Eaatorn world.This, however, is to bo regarded as the expression of a member of the Opposition, and there is reason to think that Helland will mako next scason a doter- mined and probably successful effort to recover hor lost prestige, oven if tho all-con- quoring monsoon prevents hor renewing the contest this Summer.Tho ancient Royal charities designated the Maundy were distributed on Good Friday in Whitehall Chapel, London, during Divine service, with the usual formalities, to fifty-four aged men and
