common remark with whoever speaks concerning the matter that Franklin county was never better off financially than it is today.The year's prosperity has been great.All produce has brought liberal prices, and most of our harvests have been abundant.Hay was an enormous erop, hops largely exceed the yield of last year, grains gave a bountiful harvest, potatoes alone are below the average.The dairy season has been excellent, the pastures having held green and luxuriant thru all the summer, and the flow of milk having exceeded that of last year by probably ten per cent.Our hop crop alone is worth from half to three-quarters of a million of dollars, our dairy products $330,000, our potatoes as much more, and our hay as much as the hops, tho but a small part of it is directly converted into money.Add to this that work has been abundant for all who would seek it, and wages somewhat higher than during preceding years, and wo find that there is justification for the remark quoted in the first sentence of this article.Possibly a word of caution in this time of prosperity may not be out of character.Money that comes easily is apt to go readily.Men are wont to rush into extravagance if they find themselves unexpectedly and wonderfully prosperous.They often not only expend all their ready cash, but run into debt to purchase property they do not need, and would be etter off without, or to prosecute some enterprise which might batter be deferred or postponed altogether.The experience of the recent past\u2014if men will but recall it\u2014must warn them of the folly of taking such a course now, simply because the year has dealt kindly and lavishly by them.Purchases at high prices and extravagant living during flush times made many a man trouble and disaster when hard times shut down on our country four or five years ago.Unless men would invite re- tition of that time, they must not rush into the conditions which then led to it.It is rather the part of wisdom to study safoty and practice frugality.Discharge jour debts, invest what balance you may ave where it will be secure, and centract no obligations which you will not be able to readily meet at any time for payment.Then will our prosperity be real and prove permanent, and panics, if they come, will flud us ready to meet and defy them.The Canali Oleaner NO.832.HUNTINGDON, Q., THURSDAY, DECEMBER

modern city, 1 resolved, according Lo the programme I bad mado befora I camo to Rome, to sce the Forum Romanum\u2014the centre of the commercial and political life of the ancient Roman world, and the site of the ruins of its metropolis.With this end in viow, on a bright and beautiful morning, (for the weather during my stay was delightful), 1 left my hotel in the via del Babuino, passed thru the via d\u2019Croce, and entered the Corso, which runs north and south from the Piazza del Popolo to the Capitoline hill.The ruins are to the south of that classical height.The Corso is one of the few streets in Rome which possess thore conveniences and safeguards in modern cities\u2014side foot pavements.Tho it was early the Corso was already lively with pedestrians of various costumes, complexions and pursuits.Vehicles of all kinds were rattling over its much frequented thurofare.It abounds in all kinds of shops of the upper class style, many of them occupied by jewellers, In almost every ono of them 1 suw photos of the late Pope, in overy variety of coloring and posture.Thoro was no mistake about his genial and benignant countenance.Asa man and tho head of the Roman Catholic church, Pio Nono was (opular, but bis government in political affairs was unpopular and was ultimately rejected by the Romans.llere and there in tho Corso were squares, palaces and churches, all more or less interesting in themselves and their historic associations.Tho General Post Office is situated in the square of the column of M.Aurelius near the Corso.It is a handsomo building with stately Ionic columns in its facade.Near the Post Office, but built in another square, is the Chamber of Deputies, fitted upin 1871 for the sittings of the Italian Parliament.Here, too, are the Railway and Telegraph offices.Here, too, is an obelisk 84 feet in height, and one of the most ancient in the city.It was originally the property of Psammetichus I., and was erected by him sevon conturies before Christ.After a pleasant and interesting walk of an hour 1 was in front of the asphalte steps which form the central approach or staircase to the square of tho capitol.At the foot of the steps are two (one on cach side of the scala) Egyptian lions.Near the one on the right the patriotic reformer, Rienzi, fell.At the top of the steps on each side are groups of the horse taming Dioscuri.1 afterwards saw fuc similes of them at a fountain on the Quirinal near the Royal Palace.To the left of the highest steps, surrounded by a fow ecrubby shrubs, is a caged wolf,\u2014a living reminiscence of the legendary foundation of the city of Romulus, and a sign that, with all their civilization and power, the Romans were to manifest in their eventful bistory something of the wolf's nature, in their love of rapine and thirst for blood.The square of the capitol, designed by M.Angelo, is not large.1t is, nevertheless, very attractive and instructing.Marius, and the statues ot the Emperor Constantine and his sun Constans.Here, too, was placed the first ancient milestone of the Appian Way, It is supplied by a modern counterpart.The most striking object is, however, tho bronze equestrian statue of M.Aurelius in the centre.It was once gilded, but the gilding has disappeared under the corroding tooth of time.It is admirable in its proportions, finished in its execution, and remarkable for its excellent state of preservation.Like every square in the city, the Piazza of the capitol Lasits flowing fountain, over which is a sitting figure representing Roma.lt was near this historic spot that Gibbon, in a musing mood, determined to write \u201c The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire.\u201d The buildings around the square are comparatively of recent construction and are used for municipal offices, dwellings, an observatory and a musenm.The best known room in the museum is the \u201croom of the dying gladiator\u201d, named from the statue in the centre, which represents a wounded Gaul and was found in the gardens of tho versatile Sallust.The ancient structures that rose on and around the Capitoline summit, in proud and stately magnificence and strength, are ovorturned\u2014never to bo rebuiit.The fortress and temple of Jupiter, \u2014the former reared by Romulu, the latter begun by him and completed and embellished by Au- gustus\u2014are no more.The temples of Sa.torn and of Concordia, with (an arch and a few pillars only remaining) the Portico of the twelve gods, have shared the same fate.With the demolition of these sacred fanes and haunts of the gods, came the overthrow of the Roman Paganism, which for centuries bad been the religion of Europe.Nor did the lofty buildinge, constructed for civil or political purposes, escape the ravages of time and the ruthlessness of man.They, too, have ceased to exist, and are only to be seen as ruine.The Tabularium, (or roll bouse) wbich contained the state archives, is destroyed.Some of its vaults in degenerate days were used for the storing ot salt and in their immediate vicinity a kilo was lately discovered, where, in the middle ages, it was supposed the marble from the palatial edifices on and around this historic hill were burnt to make lime to build houses for the ple of Rome, To what base usos great men and art ornamented marble may re- tarn! Gone, too, is the Senate House, where Cesar, the greatest and most gifted of Roman generals, was slain, and where Cicero, the most brilliant and egotistical of Roman orators, poured forth his rounded periods and artistic eloquence, Sic transit gloria mundi.From the square of the capitol there are two streets which lead down to the Forum.The way on the weet side is called the Via del near the \u201cRock Tarpeian\u201d, tion.It contains the trophies of | famous in bis victories over his onemies.J ' ancient times as the place of public execu- : pass near the site of Nero's Golden House, Version.The German Revisors, It must, however, have changed in | and of the famous isaperial gardens on and mostly univers i its appesranco since thon, as there is littlo, near the Palatine.en the design was taken for the Arc du Carrousel, in Paris.On the loft, on a slope of the Capitoline, I entered and inspected the historic Mamertine prison.A tawdry church has beon orected over it.It was known in the time of the Kings as Tullianum, or the well-house.It afterwards bocame a prison.It consists of two chambers, which are very narrow, very strong, and placed tho one above tho other.To the lower dungeon the only access in ancient times was thru an opening in the stone floor of the upper.It was here that Jugurtha died of starvation aod the confederates of Cataline were put to death.Tho logend, adopted in the 15tb contury, that asserts that in the time of Nero St Paul and St Peter were prisoners within its dingy walls, rests on no historic basis.It is a frightful Roman Bastile, whose prisoners must have heard the tumult of noises which came from the Forum a few yards to the south-west, Ve have now before us, in tho Foro Romano, the most memorable spot in the annals of Earope.It was at one time a deep and marshy valloy\u2014half lake\u2014half swamp\u2014dividing the Capitol and the Palatine.Mayhap it was in prehistorio times tho crater of an active and aftorwards of an extinot volcano.Tho elemonts of fire and wator werc chief factors in its formation\u2014a physical presago of the fiory passions that were to be exhibited and the copious tears that were to be shed by those who made it the grand centre of their power and civilization and the favorite sito of their noblest monumonts.It was the great throbbing hoart of the Roman world, whose pulsations were felt from Parthia in the enst to remote Britain in the wost, and from the forests in Germany in the north to tho sands of Libya and the waters of the Nile in the south.It is surrounded more or less by the encircling arms of the fumous sevon hills.It comes bofore us in history as a meeting placo betwoon the Sabine colony on the Quirinal and the Roman colony on the Palatine, and it sustained this character as a mocting place for a thousand years.It was here, in the construction of the Maxima Cloaca, that in order to drain tho Forum more perfectly, Tarquin first applied the arch principle to Roman structures.Tho arch was ever after held in high esteom by the Romans and their modern descondants.It might be regarded as one of the marked symbols of their architecture, and as a type ot their progress, power and policy.Tho Romans were a nation of bridge-makors as woll as road-makors and law-givers.It was given to them, during the lapse of centuries, by their energy, courage and faculty for order and government, to unite the nations into one great ampiro that, like à huge Coloseus, bestrode the world.If the prin- ciplo, that a place is to us what we are to a place, no loeality will illustrate it better than the deeply interesting classical scene before us.\"I'he history of the Roman Forum the Roman world.It is a mosaic of its architecture during the monarchy, tho re public and the empire.In extent it was small when contrasted with the stirring events that transpired on its quasi tesselated surface.In longth it was about 150 yards, and in breadth about $0 yards, stretching from the foot of the Capitol, in a southerly direction, towards the Colosseum.It is now largely covered with rabbish to the depth of 40 feet, tho part of it hus been laid open by excavations made in rocont times.It was bounded by streets, the most famous of which was the Via Sacra, leading to the Capitol.At first it was lined with butchers\u2019 stalls and the booths of other traders, but when the city increased in population, wealth and splendor, these were relegatod to more suitable quarters and gave place to olegant buildings occupied by money- changors and goldsmiths.The gods, too, had their temples there, and the Pontifex Max.imus, or President of the Roman hierarchy, had bis stately residence on or near the same spot.Hero, too, stood the golden milestone giving the distance to the chief cities of the world.Thon, for gaining space and meeting the increased traffic, came Bas ilicas or law courts, the ruins of some of which are now in course of excavation.All that now remains to tell of the ancient magnificence of the Foro Romano are a few broken and entire pillars, a few stone barriers, tho new rostra and the rostra Julia trom which Mark Antony delivered his celebrated oration on the death of Cæsar.And yet, tho it is a ruin, it was on that Via Sacra that skirts its western side that there marched the proud and pompous processions, bright with all the embiazonment and glitter of a military display, of those successful warriors whom the Senate honored with a triumph, It was hero, too, that the tide of imperial trade and commorce obbed and flowed.Here, too, were celebrated brutal gladiatorial shows and the imposing ob sequies of some of the nobles.Here patrician and plebeian met in the struggles of political life, and plaintiff and defendant had their causes argued in the open air.Here were suspended the 12 tables with the laws, and burning questions on the rights of man and of property wore discussed and settled for a time, for Romans had a land difficulty and a land bill to meet as well as Britons in our day.They were the great lawyers of the ancient pagan world and their jurisprudence has been incorporated more or less into the jorisprudence of every civilized nation on the globe.[ inspected the ruins of the palaces of the Cmeara on the Palatine.From the extent and depth of tho ruins, it is easy 8 to infer the size and grandeur of the original pile of buildings.I saw the famous arch of itus, consiracted in memory of his capture ot Jerusalem.Every Jew, when he passes it, makes a gesture of conternpt, and eo would I if I were a Jew.Near it is the arch be 0 ampidoglio.It passes ' of Constantine the Great, built to perpetuate is clothed a Popular opinion mith even | cti an our re Vorson Ton who are | to Greece, has

by Vespasian, completed by Titus, in the close of the first century of our era, it was the largest thoutre, and is one of the most imposing ruins in existence.It could accommodate about 90,000 spectators\u2014a largo number certainly, but Home thon must have had a population of 1} or 2 millions of inhabitants.When it was inaugurated 5,000 wild beast: wore slaughtered in holiduy sport.The value of ite matorials is at tho prosent time estimated at 2} million dollars.\u2018To prevent it from fulling into groator decay it has beon supported by brick buttrosses at tho expenso ot sovoral of

his thumb, tho fallen gladiator was put Lo death amid the piaudits of the audi.onco.[am glad it is a ruin, for its history is redolent of blood and cruelty.Tho only act of a redeeming nature connectod with it was that of an old man who rushed into the arena and was tho ocousion, by his solf- sacrificing courage, of putting an end to the carnival of blood connected with the encounters of tho gladixtors.When | was walking around in tho arona, an ltalian asked me if I would not purchase a cameo brooch.I anked him Quanto costa f (\u201cHow much?) lle answered me by crossing his thumbs,

Mutual Improvement Society of St Andrews, Man., © gave an address, in which in an interesting conversational way he narrated the chief incidents of the- trip, and described what most attracted his attention.The first place visited was Stonewall, about twenty miles north-west of Winnipeg, which was described as a beautifully situated village, with twenty-five or thirty houses, and an industrious, thrifty population.An important feature of Stonewall is its fino quarries of building stone.Pro- ceoding westward, aud passing thru the settlements of Meadow Fea and Woodlands, it was noticed that the iutention of tho C.P.R.Company to remove their located lino had seriously affected\u2019 the villages that promised to rival Stonewall in growth and importance, and they were now being gradually abandoned.Portage Ia Prairie showed in a marked degree the characteristic of thrift, industry, enterprise, and confidence.Its population of 2,500 had good grounds for believing as they do that their numbers will soon increase to 10,000.The conflict fur supremacy going on between the eastern and western portions of the town will have no more effect than to promote the growth of both, so that the gap will soon bo filled up and the two indissolubly united in one harmonivus whole.Property on Sa- skatchowan-avente about the middle of October could be bought at $30 per foot ; less thau & month later the prico had advanced to 875 per foot, and was freely purchased at that enormous figure.A syndicate of three persons bought a plot in the village for $30,000, and a few weeks later ench of the threo persons ronlized à cool 850,000 on the transaction.These wore ovidences of the spirit of ad- vancoment that pervades Bor ge la Prairie.Fur ten miles west of l'ortage the land was very thickly settled, and it was nob difficult to find standing places where one could in a cursory glance aco between two and three hundred stacks of grain.Somo farmers had ten or fifteen largo stacks in one field, each of which would average 200 bushels of grain.The productive capacity of this portion of {anitoba is something incredible.No ono is considered a farmer hero unless he can raise in one year in the neighborhood of threo or four thousand bushels of grain.After passing thru this territory the land is moro suitable for stock raising.The Sand Hills, thirty-six miles further on, is a region comparatively unproductive.The Big Plains settlement, still further west, bids fair to bo as important as any othor nucleus in tho North-West.At first the land was believed to be too light for successful cropping, but the test has shown that as good crops can he raised hero as anywhero in the Province, and the settlers aro satisfied.Brandon, five months ago, comprised only an adventurous Englishman and a small pile of lumber.Its growth has been marvellous.Twenty miles west is tho ambitious little town of Rapid City.Tho land between the two places, while of a fair average quality, is remarkahlo for tho absence of unproductive patches, no pouds, or brush, or timber hero interfere with the tiller of the soil.In the vicinity of Rapid City the land is more broken, but exceedingly productive, The city has about 100 houses, many of them of a substantial and imposing character.The people aro public-spirited and contented.Tho next point of importance westward is Shoal Lake.The lake, it is assorted, will curo those afflicted with rheumatism if they bathe in ita waters.The country is not thickly settled, for the reason that much of the land is of inferior quality.West of the lake tho land possesses bettor advantages than to the east of it.There is evidence, however, of much of it being in the possession of scrip holders, who aro waiting to realize large rofits on their investments.At the vil- ago of Shoal Lake there is n Mounted Police station aud here the Indian Commissioner has his headquarters.The main ohject of the settlers is to raiso their village into a town of importance.The next rominent place west is Birtle, on Bird Fail Creek.It has three hotels, a public ball, and a saw-mill.It is making a strong effort to secure railway connection, Twelve miles further on is Fort Ellice.Crossing the Assiniboine and turning northward the route lay thru the most beautiful and most fertile region of Manitoba.It only requires railway facilities to make it the most flourishing district of the Province.South-west of Ellice the land is much inferior.The C.P.R.crosses the Assiniboine 25 miles south of Ellice.West of this point, for a distance of five or six miles, there is sufficient timber for settlement purposes all along the line of road, and it is remarkable how evenly divided the country appears to be, between farming and meadow land.Crossing the prairie to the Qu'Appelle, little is noticeable beyond the unvarying richness of the soil, the absence of timber, and the profusion of grass.In closing the lecturer summed up the results of his trip by saying that when they analyzed the natura! features of the country they could not but arrive at the conclusion that Manitoba and the North- West were destined to hecome the home of a numerous and thrifty population.Good land largely predominated over the poor.There were poor spots, but they were so limited in extent that they formed no important to settlement.ity professors, bold their troops,

Que.@he Gunadian Gleaney, \"NTINGDON, THURSDAY, DEC.1, 1881.THE nominations on Friday passed over quietly, the only tendency to disturbance being manifested at Quebec.No fewer than 15 constituencies were uncontested, and out of these 10 supporters of the Government were declared elected.Two seats, the county of Quebec and Beauce, were lost to the Liberals, apparently from neglect to provide candidates, as both at last election voted the Reform ticket by sweeping majorities.On Monday, the Liberal candidate for Laval withdrew from the field, so that it may be said 16 seats have been decided.As another day will decide the fate of the remainder, any surmise or comment would be superfluous.That the Conservatives will obtain a sweeping majority seems to be inevitable.Goyette, whose candidature for Beau- harnois was ridiculous, withdrew before nomination day, and Dr de Boucherville took his place, and goes to the poll with Bergevin.Both are Conservatives.For Chateaugay, the old member, Dr Laberge, Mr LePailleur, and Mr James Steel were nominated.The contest lies between the two first named, and whatever votes Mr Steel gets he takes from the Doctor, who also labors under the disad:sntage of facing the contest with imperfect organization, All depends upon how the Liberal vote is brought out.The county of Cha- teaugay is Liberal to the backbone, has proved itself so in repeated contests during the past 18 years, and possesses the power to defeat this last Conservative manceuvre if it is only properly directed.A full and united vote will carry the day; a small and divided one means defeat.We have cause to know that the Liberals of St Malachie, at least, realize the situation and will do their duty.The election of a member for Hunting- don was a very common-place proceeding.The paper nominating Dr Cameron, signed by 31 electors, was fyled with the returning officer, and no other coming in, at the expiry of the hour Mr Somerville declared him elected.Dr Camcron was not present and there were not half a dozen spectators.Such unanimity of opinion and good-feeling is rarely seen.THE vexatious news comes from Prince Edward Island of another bauk disaster, the cause being the familiar one of large advances to men-of-straw.The bank was a small one, its paid up capital being only $120,000, but its liabilities amount to nearly a million.Depositors and bill- holders can only be paid by enforcing the double-liability clause on the shareholders.The cashier has run away and is made the scapegoat, tho the directors appear to be equally to blame.$700,000 are reported to have been given in loan to persons from whom nothing can be collected.The disaster to a small community like Prince Edward is a great one.THE official decision in the Orange case confirms the view we took of it in last week's paper.After holding good the pleas as to informality, the court gives, as a further reason for confirming the judgment of the Superior court,\u2014 That it appears by the evidence adduced in this cause that tbe Loyal Orange institution in the mid declaration mentioned is an unlawful combination and confederacy, inasmuch as it is proved tbat the members of the said Association, according to the rules thereof, are required to keep secret the acts or proceedings of such Association, and are bound so to do by an oath or agreement not authorized Ly law; also, that the seid plaintiff, David Grant, admits that on the occasion referred to he acted as 8 member of such institution, and that bo was, in fact, a member In a formal manner the highest court in the Province thus places on record its decision that the Orange Institution is illegal under existing statutes.What course the Grand Lodge will pursue is unknown, but Mr Doutre frankly admits that it will be useless to appeal the case unless the de- fondant will consent to its being done on the point of the illegality of the Order, which, of course, Mayor Beaudry will not do.He has safe ground on the infor- malities and will not risk a reversal of the judgment by abandoning them.MrDoutre recommends, as the Glesner did, that the Orangemen either conform with the law by dropping the element of secrecy or else get the law changed.PE IT was anticipated that Sir John Macdonald would have announced to the convention at Toronto his intention to dissolve the pressnt House and hold a general election next summer.The term lof the present Parliament does not end | struggling for existence, credit was un- | w= Post-office Tnspector King visited before the reaction sets in to the present prosperity.The ostensible reason would be, that many capitalists hesitate to invest in factories owing to uncertainty as to the maintenance of the N.P, and that a triumphant endorsation next year of the present Administration would go far to re-assure them.In one of his speeches at \u2018Toronto Sir John gloried in a circumstance of which he might well be ashamed, namely, the alliance he effected with the Ultramontanes of this Province, and by meéans of which he has had so long a season of almost absolute power.Hesaid\u2014 Looking back to 1851 I can call to mind that then there was successfully effected by the Liberal-Con- servativo party a union with the Conservatives of Lower Canada, From that date we have marched on together, side Ly side and shoulder to shoulder\u2014the orthodox true blue French-Canadians, and the ortbo- dox true blue Liberal-Conscrvatives of Ontario.(Cheers) We have marched on together, I say, and on most occasions to victory.The consequence of that union was that wo scttled tho burning question in both provinces\u2014I say burning question, because religious questions always arouse the feelings, the prejudices, and the suspicions of the people\u2014the burning school question in such a manner that from that time Catholics and Protestants have been able to work side by side, and teach their children in thele own fashion and in their own way.The consequence of the liberality of our measures is that in no country in the world is there less friction between religious denominations, and in no country has education been more freely disseminated among the rising generation free from suspicion and progelytism, and free in every other respect, than in Canada.And in carrying this great measure you may remember how I was attacked.1 was called a traitor to my religion, a traitor to my country.It was said that I was under the influence of the priesthood, that I was a mere slave to Lower Canada, But I Lad the consolation of knowing that our measure was successful; and when in tho various vicissitudes of my political life I was driven into Opposition, the Government and the newspapers, which bad attacked, abused, and reviled me and those with whom I acted, not only carried out the principle we adopted but extended it much farther.When the course I have mentioned to you was found necessary to unite both provinces, I formed an alliance with the man whom you all koow\u2014I wish to God he was standing beside me now\u2014(hear, hear, and cheers)\u2014 who acted with me, who fought the battle with me\u2014 Sir George Etienne Cartier\u2014(loud cheers)\u2014my friend and brother, with whom I had not only a political connection, but a personal affection\u2014passing the love of women.If there is little religious friction in this Province, it is because the priesthood, as a return for the support they have given Sir Jobn, have got all they wanted and rule supreme.The statement about education being freely disseminated is one of Sir John's jokes.If no elector were allowed to cast his vote in this Province who could not sign his name, the doom of Conservatism would be sealed.Tue Pacific Railway Syndicate are advertising the first issue of their bonds, ten million dollars, bearing interest at 5 per cent.They are secured by mortgage on the farm-lands given by the Government to the Syndicate, and may be exchanged for land.The city papers puff these bonds and advise those seeking investments to take them, as the security is undoubted.Should the Syndicate be unable to sell their lands as they anticipate, what will the mortgage be worth, and unless their holders understand farming, of what value the privilege to exchange them for wild land in the Far West.THE trial of Guitteau is still in progress, and may not end this week.A vast amount of evidence has been taken to make out that he is insane; apparently to little purpose, for it is sufficiently clear that the fellow knows the difference between right and wrong, and, therefore, however ill-balanced he may be, responsible for his acts.» THE Land Leaguers meet in convention this week at Chicago to deliberate on the best method of \u201cfreeing Ireland.\u201d Several delegates have gone from Canada.At next election, like Mr Doherty, they will be eligible as Conservative candidates.WITH regard to the paragraph from the Palladium, copied in another column, we would be inclined to go a little further than it does, and not only emphasize the duty of all, in the present prosperity, to pay off their debts, but to suggest whether the present is not a suitable time to abandon the credit system altogether.If farmers realized how greatly they lose by taking credit, they would never ask it.As it is, all in business have to give more or less credit and as all lose by it, they have to make up their loss, in part at least, by charging more for their goods than they otherwise would, so that it comes that the cash buyer helps to make up what is lost by slow-pay and no-pay.From what we know of the working of the credit system, we have no hesitation in saying that the farmers of the county of Huntingdon would save forty thousand dollars at least each year by refusing to take credit.Why they should not endeavor to stop this leak, is incomprehensible, One of the few good features in the Granger order is its effort to establish all dealing between man and man on the cash system ; its urging the farmer neither to give nor take credit.It is not necessary to join a secret society to act on se equitable and advantageous a principle.All that is needed is a conviction that the credit system is a losing one both to him who takes and him who gives credit, and an awakening of the conscience to do what is right in the ordinary dealings of daily life.When the country was newly-settied, when the farmers were tion for its longer survival.SEE THE heat of tho election contest in Chambly has been the cause of bringing to light a most discreditable episode in connection with the obtaining of the charter for the South Shore Railway and Tunnel Company.Dr Martel, the Conservative candidate, accused the former member, Mr Prefontaine, who is seeking to be re-clected, with having accepted a bribe to support the said charter, which he denied, whereupon the Doctor wrote to Mr Senecal to confirm his assertion, when that honest gentleman replied as follows: MONTREAL, Nov.26th, 1881.My DEAR Mn MARTEL, \u2014I have just received your letter informing me that you charged Mr Prefontaine with having acted as intermediary between his political friends and me to effect a change of opinion with them on the merits of the Lill incor- orating the South Shore Railway & unnel Company, and asking me to sustain your affirmations.I regret that the secrets of these negotiations have transpired, but I will not hesitate in fulfilling the duty you impose upon me.I was in company with Mr Chaffee, the representative of the company which was to connect the North Shore Railway with South Eastern Railway and the railroads of the South Shore, and it was not without much surprise that we learned of the open hostility of the members of the Opposition against that measure.Our advocate confirmed our impressions by making us acquainted with a conversation which he had with Mr Pre- fontaine, at that time member for the county of Chambly, in which the latter declared that his political friends would be opposed to us if we did not far- nish them with the sum of fifteen hundred dollars to be distributed among certain Liberal journals so as to acquire for the project the sympathies of the members of the Liberal party.Mr Prefontaine, who was then walking up and down in the lobbies of the House waiting for our reply, soon received it.1 transmitted to himself the sum of one thousand dollars which he was to distribute between L'Electeur and L'Union de St Hyacinthe, and I paid five hundred dollars to another of his friends so that that sum might be transmitted to La Patrie I am ignorant whether that money reached its destination ; but I know that the Opposition, with but few exceptions, voted for our charter.During the following session the details of this transaction transpired, and the name of the Hon Mr Mercier was mixed up with it.this affair.When that gentleman came to Montreal in company with his lady towards tho end of the last session, and told me, \u201cIf the accusation for the £1,500 comes before the House I will not appear before the committee, neither as a witness nor otherwise ; I ask you for twenty-four hours notice to resign.\u201d This is, in the clearest terms possible, the history of my relations with the Tunnel charter, and you may accept this information as being precise and undeniable.I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, L.A.SENECAL.Accepting Mr Senecal's statements as correct, he unconsciously condemns himself, for the man who gives a bribe is as bad as he who takes it.That the charter for our railway should ever have been tacked on to the tunnel scheme, and so come under the control of Senecal, will be all the more regretted in the face of this fresh revelation, Since the foregoing was in type, we observe that at an election meeting at Longueuil on Tuesday Mr Chapleau re- Prefontaine rose and gave it an unqualified contradiction.SIR Joux MACDONALD assures the Dominion that the millions that have been and are to be lavished on the Northwest and its great railway, will be repaid, principal and interest, out of the sale of its lands.As all actual settlers are to get 160 acres for nothing, the sale of the land will depend upon immigrants who are not satisfied with that quantity and who have money enough to buy more.How many such wealthy immigrants are likely to come?Taking the advances of the four old Provinces to open up the Northwest land, more than is arable in the whole Province of Ontario, would have to be sold to cash buyers at $2 an acre.When it is further considered that the Syndicate have got 25 million acres of the pick of the lands, it is apparent settlers who have money will give them the preference.That a fraction of the money spent on the Northwest will, after a number of years, be repaid by the sale of its lands is probable, but the bulk of the millions being now wrung from the older Provinces is absolutely lost to them, and Sir John knows it.ED KG Owing to a scarcity of Canadian coins, American silver has been used as change is accumulating in the

since then, and there is now no justifica- re-arrangement of the mails.Since the building of the Grand Trunk branch to ; Ste Martine, the s has been run to | Caughnawaga at a heavy loss, and its withdrawal has become inevitable.It \u2018was thought at first the Grand Trunk might run the train to Ste Martine to suit it, and that that village, in place of Caugh- | nawaga, would be made the eastern end of i the route, but the company has peremptorily refused to entertain all propositions to that end, as they mean to work the branch in conjunction with the Hemmingford line, which is the cheapest for them and the most convenient for those living near Ste Martine.Seeing that it is impossible to get a morning train from the city to Ste Martine, the Department has only the alternative of supplying the Chateaugay district from Valley eld, and this Mr King is likely to effect.He proposes that a bag be made up in Montreal for Durham and Huntingdon each morning and sent by the early train.The bag would reach Valleyfield by noon, when the new stage would start for Durham and Huntingdon, reaching the latter place by 4 o'clock p.m.The present hour of leaving Huntingdon, 7 o'clock in the morning, would be retained, and passengers for Montreal would get there by half-past 6 in theevening.This arrangement as regards all the country west of Durham would be an admirable one, in fact an improvement on the present service, but there is the drawback that the offices between Durham and Ste Martine would not be so well supplied as they are now by the stage passing their doors twice a day.The likelihood is that Howick and North Georgetown will have an evening mail in comnection with the Ste Martine train, and that Allan\u2019s Corners will be supplied from Durham.Mr King shows much anxiety to meet the wants of the people of the District, and the service he proposes will, under the change of circumstances, be accepted as a great boon.Should the Department approve of his plan, of which there is little doubt, tenders for the new stage line to Valleyfield will be advertised for, and it will probably come into operation in the course of a couple of months.It will be observed that the Grand Trunk has changed the hour of leaving St Martine to 9 o'clock am., which will enable passengers as far west as Durham to catch it easily.67 A man, by the name of James Ball, who has been in the employment of Julius Scriver, Esq., mysteriously disappeared on the evening of Tuesday, the 22nd instant, from the village of Hemmingford.His disappearance cannot be accounted for, as he was 2 most exemplary man in every respect ; was a member of the Presbyterian church and lived, so far as any person could judge, worthy of his profession : was strictly temperate, and one of the most in- I have no doubt whatever of dustrious, methodical, trustworthy and Mr Prefontaine\u2019s role in the conclusion of thuroly capable men Mr Seriver ever had.It would seem that, wherever he went or whatever he did with bimself, had been permeditated, for he made some preparation.It had been his habit to visit the stable just before going to Led to arrange the horses for the night, and keeping the lantern and key of the barn at his own house, but, on the evening of his disappearance, he did all his work at the barn and locked up about dark, taking the key and lantern into Mr Scriver\u2019s house instead of his own.His wife expected him to supper at a fixed time, and as he did not put in an appearance, at once suspected that there must be somcthing wrong, for he was as punctual and methodical about his meals as everything else.He was then looked for about the premises, but as it was supposed he had been called away a short distance and would soon return no regular search was made for an hour or more, Before eight o'clock, however, & whole regiment of men with lanterns turned out, and every nook and corner of all the buildings and grounds of Mr Scriver and, indeed, nearly the whole village were thuroly searched but without finding any trace of him, and up to the present (Tuesday, 29th) no tidings of him ave been received, His wife, who is quite an old woman, is almost heart-broken, iterated Mr Senecal's charge, when Mr|and cannot account in any way for his disappearance.She says that they have always lived harmoniously together, and that on the day of his leaving

CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION, HELD in Toronto on the 22nd and 23rd ult., was highly successful, the attendance being large and composed of representatives from cvery part of Ontario.The proceedings were conducted with closed doors, but a number of the resolutions passed have been published.They endorse the National Policy, approve of the contract for building the Pacific Railway, condemn the Independence cry, and pass a sweeping censure on the Mowat administration, for its management of the Provincial finances.The convention closed with a dinner to Sir John Macdonald, who made a long and characteristic speech, glorifying himself and ridiculing Blake and his other opponents.The portions of public interest are subjoined : TO BUILD THE PACIFIC RAILWAY We made a selection from the three great markets of capital, and we have formed the strongest and most enterprising body of capitalists that ever built a railway from the beginning of railways to the present time.The whole country sees it, the whole country knows it.At this moment they are laying down a mile and a half of railway every day, and should no unexpected accident or misfortune happen, they intend and believe they will have the whole railway constructed from the Red river to the foot of the Rocky mountains before the snows of 1882 fall.(Loud and continued cheering.) Don\u2019t be mistaken.Don\u2019t suppose I have made a mistake in the year.They expect by next Fall to have built the railway and have it running between Winnipeg and Fort Colgarry.They are bound to build that railway in ten years, and they are bound to build it round Lake Superior.They are bound to do so, and, gentlemen, I have it from the board that altho at first when they entered into the contract with the Canadian Government they had a great deal of hesitation, and a great deal of doubt as to the expediency of building the road to the north of Lake Superior, they now sec that the Canadian Government was right.I have a letter from the board telling me the tenacity of the Canadian Government was the cause of the road being so located, and that we wero right, and they were wrong ; and so strongly are they now convinced of the desirability of having a railway every inch of which shall run over Canadian soil\u2014 (applause)\u2014that they say in a letter to me, that if the Canadian Government proposed to them to give up that portion of the road, they would refuse to do so, because it is essential to the success of the line as a whole.I have further to tell you that later surveys have shown that the railway can be built not far away behind Lake Nepigon, but on the lake shore, and looking into the very waters of Lake Superior, and that that route is in fact preferable in every respect.It is going to be more costly ; but they say they are willing to bear the additional expense, because if they constructed the road via Lake Nepigon they could only attack it from one end, and it would take the whole ten years, but by building the railway close along the lake shore they can attack it in a hundred different places, and carry by water from one point to every point along the whole lino of the railway supplies to build the road.(Cheers.) I have a letter to-day from the president authorizing me to make that statement to this meeting, that they hope and believe in consequence of this change they will be able to build the road in five years instead of ten, (Continued ap- lause.) Gentlemen, I nced not tell you how delighted I was with that announcement.As I said to-day in the convention, it is pleasant to everybody, and especially consolatory to a man of my age.stated last year on my arrival at Quebec that I hoped to look down from above on the completed railway.I now have some chance, if I remain as strong, please God, as I now am\u2014I now have some chance of travelling over it in person before I am just quite an angel ! (Laughter and loud cheering) I want to say something to you about the LAND POLICY IN THE NORTH-WEST, We cannot please the Opposition; wo do not intend to try to please them\u2014(laughter)\u2014but we intend to try to please the people of Canada, aud intend to do justice to the settler in\" the North-West, and to develop that country as speedily as possible.If we sell the lands up there the Opposition say, \u201cYou are giving the lands away to speculators, and keeping out the settler,\u201d and after we had concluded the bargain as to the railway they said, \u201cThe land is worth $2.50 an acre, and you have given it away for $25,000,000 to the syn- icate.\u201d We believe the land is capable of receiving every settler we can get, and giving him a full grant, and at the same time of allowing us to sell a sufficient quantity to repay every cent that the four old provinces of Canada ever expended, or will expend, in opening up that country and in building the railway.We are going religiously to hold to the home- 3 and free grant system of giving every head of a family and every man of eighteen years and upwards, upon his becoming a settler, 160 acres of as fine land as the sun ever shone upon.All he has got to do is to settle upon and work it, and after three years\u2019 occupation, if he builds à house (and wo will not bo particular as to the size and quality), and has cultivated a reasonablo portion of the soil, he gets his patent free, and will stand one of the freeholders of this great country of fresholders.(Cheering) Wo are going ing the lands at a high price.to aid colonization companies who show they have the capital, that they mean business, and that they do not intend to become mere middlemen and to speculate at the expense of the immigrant by hold- We will, I say, assist such companies who will give the necessary guarantees to the Government that they are in earnest, and that they mean to bring the immigrant and put him on the land.(Cheering) Then, gentlemen, we are going to sell certain portions of that land, and fund the proceeds, and out of those proceeds we are going to pay the interest, and ultimately the principal, of every dollar that the Dominion of Canada has expended or will expend in building the railway and developing the country.(Loud cheers.) IMPERIAL FEDERATION, I will not trouble you with a disquisition on that subject just now, but I tell you Imperial Federation is utterly impractie- able.(Applause) We could never agree to send a number of men over to England to sit in Parliament there and vote away our rights and privileges.I am, as far as this question goes, up to the handle a Home Ruler.(Applause) We will govern our own country.(Hear, hear) We will put on the taxes ourselves.If we choose to misgovern ourselves, we will do so\u2014 (laughter)\u2014and we do not desire Iingland, Ireland, or Scotland to tell us we are fools.(Laughter) We will say, If we are fools we will keep our folly to ourselves ; you will not be the worse for it, and we will not, be the worse for it, and we will not be the worse for any fully of yours.(Cheers.) But, Mr Chairman, there isa new phase to this question.Tho gentleman who, two years ago, in his Aurora speech, and in others, talked of Imperial Federation, now begins to give no uncertain sound in favor of INDEPENDENCE.The two things\u2014Imperial Federation and Independence\u2014will not work together exactly.We cannot federate with England, and yet be independent of England.(Hear, hear.) I do not exactly like the last crotchet of this gentleman.I would rather hear him speak of Imperial Federation, because there is something loyal about that.In Independence there is neither loyalty nor sincerity.Independence is a farce.Canada must belong either to the British system or the American system, Here we are with four and a half million people, lying alongside of fifty-five millions; the most unhappy position we could be placed in ; the most crushing to its energies and its intellect, the most destructive to its prosperity, is that of living, next door to and at the sufferance of a powerful neighbor.Look at Europe, and you sce the position which small nations occupy.Look at Belgium and Holland.Belgium trembling for fear France will take her, and Holland in fear of Germany.(Hear, hear.) There is no spirit, there is almost hopelessness, in those countries.And I say, looking at the question of independence, that if we had to make a choice between independence and annexation, I would rather that we should have annexation and join with the United States at once, than be here a small nation, a dependent nation, obliged to raise the phantom of an army and navy, obliged to have foreign ambassadors at an enormous expense, and after a brief existence to be absorbed as Texas and as California were absorbed, and as Mexico will be absorbed.(Applause.) Gentlemen, there is one thing more I will say before I sit down, and that is that I believe not only the Conservative party but the whole country will rise as one man against the veiled treason of independence.(Cheers) Veiled treason was an expressive term used by Lord Beaconsfield, and it describes exactly the position of those men who endeaver to shake the institutions under which wé prosper, and under which wo hope to die.Sir, I can quite understand that a person who is not bound to the soil may change his country ; but when a man has lived in the country, has become a citizen and a subject, unless there is oppression, unless there is wrong doing, he is bound, by all the principles that combine men into nations and into great political societies, to adhere to the institutions under which he is living, and not vainly, wrongly, illegally to seek to overthrow them.(Loud cheers.) But if that is true with respect to the men living in the country, how much more true is it of tho men who have held office\u2014her Majesty's Government, who have taken the oath to bear true allegiance to Queen Victoria, her heirs and successors, who have sworn as Privy Councillors of Canada that they will disclose any conspiracy against her Majesty, her person, crown, or dignity ?(Hear, hear,and loud cheers.) Why, sir, the first overt act, the first desire to carry into action such a principle would render a man liable to indictment, and I would be sorry to see my friend Mr Blake obliged to stand on his trial under an impeachment prepared by my friend Mr Mowat.(Laughter and cheers.) But, Mr Chairman, these gentlemen are not sincere in this matter.I believe Mr Blake sincerely desires to retain under British rule the institutions under which we live in Canada.It is merely a means to get up a new cry.The tariff cry is burst, the railway cry is burst, and what have they to do but to get up some new cry, some new herring to drag across the trail of the political dog?They may lead away the old grey Grit hound, but the good old Tory hound will follow the fox to the end.(Loud laughter.) THE STATE OF IRELAND.Irish farmers are \u201csinging songs of triumph over their oats and potatoes.Such crops have not been known for 30 years.Potatoes are selling in some towns for three pence a stone, and in others for three halfpence.Whether this amazing crop is due to the imported seed of the far-famed Champions, or to the weather, it is difficult to say, but the fact is indisputable.All this is in striking contrast with the crops in England and Scotland.uring the hunt of the Kildare hounds three hounds were poisoned at Sallins. ra = er mae master of the hounds stopped the bunt, and cancelled the fixtures for the future.A mob of 500 attacked the Ar- magh Hunt Club at Ballymacnabb, and many horses were severely stoned.Belfast, Nov.23 \u2014Lord Cowper, Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland, alluding to-day to the state of Ireland, said he held no hope that the Government would be able at resent to relax coercive measures.He continued, \u201cI am afraid things do not lock very bright.Dissatisfaction and ill-feel- ing are deeply scated, but it is also our duty to do as much as possible in one eneration to remove that dissatisfaction, and if possible the prejudices of the Irish people.I am confident that some day the problem will be solved and Ireland contented.\u201d At a banquet in the evening Lord Cowper knighted the Mayor of Belfast.He reiterated that he had no intention to retire.Seven men have been arrested at Dun- more, county Galway, for illegal drilling.A large amount has been subscribed for their defence.] The Times says :\u2014\u201cIt is only too plain that after a brief interval of hesitation a considerable section of the people of Ireland have decided to adhere to the policy of the \u2018No Rent\u2019 manifesto.A plan of dealing with recalcitrant tenants, county by county, has already been adopted in Leitrim and Cavan, where two flying columns of 500 soldiers each and police have been detailed for protecting those engaged in carrying out the law.In many places it is notorious that to pay rent at all is as dangerous as it was some time back to pay more than Griffith's valuation.The cattle of à parish priest have been mutilated because their owner denounced the Kilmainham manifesto.If we have to deal with a thuroly disaffected, disloyal population, of whom the tenant farmers and their families do not form over half, it is idle to expect order to be restored by holding out a hope of a general reduction of rents.The means at the disposal of the Government are boundless, and they are backed up by the resolute spirit of the whole people of Great Britain.If the existing powers of the Executive are inadequate others must be granted.One thing only is impossible, that Ireland should be delivered over to a lawless faction openly aiming at the disruption of the Union.\u201d A Protestant church in a rural district of County Cork was wrecked by a party of men.Private reports show that rent is more freely paid.A significant case has occurred on Polliard Urquhart's estate.30 laborers were dismissed because Urquhart got no rents.The laborers thereupon compelled the farmers to pay up.NEWS BY ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.In the French Chamber of Deputies in a discussion regarding the validity of the election of M, Boscher de Langle (Monarchist), Bishop Freppel claimed for tho clergy the same rights as other citizens enjoy.He maintained that they were entitled even from the pulpit to recommend the faithful to go and vote in fulfilment of their duty.Several members of the Left denounced this doctrine.M.Waldeck Rousseau, Minister of the Interior, declared that the Government was unable to remain indifferent to such doctrines, involving the intervention of the clergy in elections.The Ministry were absolutely of opinion that the clergy should remain within the limits of the Concordat, and intended to use all legal means to impose upon the clergy respect for the law and constitution.(Applause.) M.Boscher de Langle\u2019s election was nullified by 402 to 93.Madrid, November 26.\u2014In the Senate, to-day, Guell-y-Rente, a Cuban Senator, asked the Government whether it was disposed to open

maintenance of good relations with the friendly Powers.He said he regretted the question of the restitution of Gibraltar had been raised.Spanish resources and the country\u2019s position in Europe did not justify any member in touching on so delicate a matter.Rinderpest is epidemic in Lower Austria.A heavy gale prevailed thruout the United Kingdom on Saturday and Sunday, doing considerable damage

Nov.23\u2014The Montreal Abattoir Company, whose buildings are now finished at a cost of about $270,000, expect to find some difficulty from the local butchers, who have so long held a monopoly and slaughtered beef on their premises.The latter do not look with favor upon the breaking up of the old-fashioned methods of slaughtering in uninspected buildings, and have opposed the Abattoir Company at every turn.In order to obviate the difficulty some members of the company proposed the organization of a new auxiliary coucern, to be called the Slaughtering Company.This, with its cnormous capital, will compete with the butchers and supply stores in many parts the city.This once started the butchers would likely be compelled to wheel into ine.Mr Mulligan, of Toronto, is an old pensioner

every possible shape or form, aro now able to expend money.The season of social pleasure was most successfully inaugurated to-night by a brilliant ball given by Mrs Foster, wife of Mr John Foster, railway contractor, of Sherbrooke street.In order to accommo- date the four hundred ladies and gentle men guests, the Queen's Assembly rooms ou St Catherine street were taken for the erpool occasion, and were tastefully fitted up.The company, which composed the élite of the city and province, assembled about 10 o'clock, and shortly after the dancing commenced.The toilets of the ladies were extremely elegant, many being imported from London and Paris, The ball went off with great eclat.Next week, there are three weddings of more than ordinary distinction on the tapis, on the week

into his body which merely wounded him and did not prove fatal.The bear turned on his assailant, and Perrault in his turn drew his hunting knife and plunged it into the animal's body as it closed with him.The stroke of the knife was well directed, but the hunter fell beneath the animal's carcase and was unable to extricate himself.When found by another party of hunters, several hours later, Perrault had lost consciousness.Halifax, Nov.22.\u2014There was a large gathering at St Luke's Cathedral to-day of persons desirous of seeing the marriage of the Right Rev Llewellyn Jones, Bishop of

approaching winter no ferry boat will be run between Caughnawaga and Lachine, the Beauharnois Navigation Company having so decided.The Company's steamer, the Beauharnois, has been sold, and its place will be taken by a new steamer named the Star.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 : THE CAUGHNAWAGA INDIANS.ABOUT nine o'clock on Monday morning the booming of a gun called the Indians of Caughnawaga to council, and before ten the school-house was crowded with warriors.Pipes were lit, and in a few minutes the room was so full of smoke that it was almost impossible to see.Chief Louis opened the meeting by reading a judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, by which & sentence of 30 days imprisonment passed upon an Indian, Louis Carrot, was quashed.He stated that some French-Canadians had chopped wood on the Reserve to the value of $400, and that altho the agent, Mr Geo.Cherrier, had been spoken to on the matter he had taken no steps to obtain compensation ; that the agent had arrested Indians for chopping wood in the common while he allowed white men to do so; and that he had hired some Indians to build a fence on the railroad track and would not pay them.While Chief Louis was speaking, the Indians never spoke a word and apparently were quite unconcerned, but when the Indian agent came in, they became rather excited, and three or four of them were speaking at a time.When quiet was restored, Joseph Foster accused the agent of partiality towards his own relations and Fs fellow countrymen, the French-Canadians, and stated as an example that he had given barley and potato seed to his friends when it properly belonged to the Indians.The agent called him a liar, whereupon a dozen dusky braves sprang to their feet and gathered around him, shouting and sticulating.Matters were beginning to fooke serious, when a burly Indian came forward and asked them to keep their temper.Foster said he was not a Jiar, but the agent was, and repeated his statement, and asked the warriors to confirm it, which they did.He also said that the agent, at the annual distribution of money and blankets, gave some to his own friends, who had no right to it.What was the use of having Chiefs when the Agent controlled the place ?The Agent never called a meeting of the Chiefs, as he ought to do, but totally ignored them.The Chiefs had no voice in anything.Moses, the village crier, said the Agent did not treat the Indians like men, and when asked how he expected a certain case to go, he had said that \u201cPigs could never win a case.\u201d The Agent denied that he had ever called the Indians \u201cpigs,\u201d altho Moses declared that everyone in the tribe knew it was true.The matter was then dropped, and the Indians having aired their grievances, Pr ceeded to the election of a Chief.A difficulty arose, one of the men claiming that only the band interested had a right to vote, while the whole seven bands had been called to the meeting.However, this was satisfactorily settled by Wise Sakohentinete being elected by acclamation.The meeting was brought to a close by Mr Cherrier reading a proclamation from the Government to the effect that the time TO

find out that he talked a good deal to his | mother about the sort of life he would have chosen if it had been given to him to choose his own.And the wother, though she could not understand bis longing, and would not have left her sunny little home for the grandest town house in the world, always listened to him gently, and encouraged him to talk on, until the feeling wore itself away, and he went out to his mowing or threshing or harrowing, and was just my own ready, helptul lad once more.And when his day's work was over he would take off his heavy bouts, and sit in his blouse and slippers Ly the fire on winter nights, or at the open window in the summer twilight, his young head bent over some book or other, I watching him astonished, because I had never opened such a one thru all my life\u2014watching, rather frightened sometimes, when it struck me he had too slight a figure fur a hardy farmer's son, or when I noticed how delicate was the face bent carnestly above the open book, or how different from mine were the fingers that lay upon the page.I could not help thinking very doubt fully how such a farmer would manage the land when I should be taken, and how his mother would fare then, This wonder was not to perplex me long, for the mother was taken first.No necd to tell you about that ; and, even if I tried, I think I could not.I could not tell even what that loss was to Harry ; much Jess could I tell what it was to myself.1 was saving money then\u2014putting by a good bit most years\u2014and it was a very pleasant thought to me that I should have something to leave the children, let the message come when it would, I suppose everyone who has a little feels inclined to make more, so when Lawyer Watkin, whom everybody talked so much about, saying he was doing wonders with everybody's money\u2014doubling it at the least\u2014 offered to do a good thing with mine, I was very content he should have it.He and I used to chuckle over the amount this plan was to bring me, and I thought how astonished Harry would be when he found out what ho was to inherit, and how Jeasio would stare at the letter which told of the legacy her father had left her.I really took quite a pleasure, too, in picturing the astonishment of the neighbors, fancying how they would say that, tho he had but a small farm, and managed it Harry's face was bright and hopeful.He had been the stronger since our trouble { came, in spite of my hard hands and sinewy arms.But how slight and delicate he looked among the folk wo travelled with, and how different from their rough manners was his gentle care for his old father! That was not the last time I saw him bright and hopeful, tho afterwards it came only by fits and starts Letween his tuil- souie, tiring walks about the city, where he sought early and late for work to do.\u2018Wait patiently and bravely, father,\u2019 he used to say ; \u2018it will cume at last, and bring enough for us both\u2019 For he would not hear, while any hope lasted, of my seeking employment too.\u2018It is time your hands were resting,\u2019 he would say ; \u2018and it will be happiness for me to work for both?I used to Leg him to let mie walk back again iuto the country and get hard labor on some farm ; but it hurt him sorely when I spoke of it.And so, at last, seeing him grow thinner and more restless and eager every day, I gave it up, really afraid to leave him.But when he was safely away I went out too, and got odd jobs sometimes about the streets, and so could bring home a sixpence or threepence now and then, I pretended it all came out of the little store which was vanishing so fast\u2014fur on the first day, when, unthinkingly, I told him what I had donc, he laid his arms across the window of our attic, and the loose glass shook and rattled with his sobs.After that I never dared to tell him I had Leen trying to get work; and so we went on, while Harry's face grew sharper and paler, and yet his bright and gentlo smile was always ready as a greeting for me.One night\u2014a soft, fair summer night it would have been in this country\u2014Harry came into our bare, sunless room with quite a changed look on his face ; and I knew before he spoke what he was going to say to me, when he hands upon iny bent old shoulders and brought his lips close to mine\u2014so close that I could not help it, wifeless and daughteriess as I had been so long, motherless and sisterless as he had been ; his girlish, gentle face, [ say, was close to mine, and I kissed him as if he had been a daughter instead of à son.ing, answering touch of his lips, and was ness that night, he could kiss me as would have kissed his mother.ishing store, and cach other, ut his slender !as if it had been under cover.brought this, his first-earned money, up to me, and the thin fingers were hot and trembling when they opened to lay the gold before me.\u2018Father, ho said, brokenly, \u2018I wish it could give, in its spending, the happiness it bas given in its earning.\u2019 \u2018All this, all this, my lad ! I exclaimed.\u2018You never told me ! \u2018No,\u2019 said Harry, in a quick, trembling voice, ns ho clasped his hands together to keep them still, \u2018I wanted a surprise for you.[earned it all, father; and I shall go on, earning and earning until you want for nothing.\u2019 \u2018But, if you mever rest, dear lad, you cannot work, I said, touching the gold softly and gratefully, but not taking it up.\u2018This is Saturday night, he laughed, \u2018and I can rest.Don\u2019t you think, father, that we can go to church to-morrow, out in the country somewhere, where the air is pure and the birds are singing ¥ \u2018Yes, yes, I said, eagerly, \u2018let us go where we can think of the old home \u2018And of the happier one to come, added Harry, softly.And for an instant I felt a strango, new longing for that restful, sor- rowless home of which I knew my boy was thinking.I felt sure he was too much excited to sleep that night, and every now and then I rose on my mattress, to listen, and to try to look at him.But he lay quite still, and in the morning fell asleep.Silently I lay and listened for his fitful breathing, and when at last I rose in my restlessness and looked down upon his sleeping face, I knew that he would wake in heaven.I dont know how I knew it.I felt then that I must have known it all night, and been preparing myself; yet, when the bells rang all around me, bewildering and deafening me with their call to that service which Harry and I were to have gone together to hear, I knelt moaning and re- Lelling hesido the little bed where my boy lay dead.[It would not be well to tell of the days that followed] Strangers helped me to carry him to his grave, and then I crawled back along the city streets, hating tho glare of sunshine that smote upon my desolate, stooped head.Then there came long days of which I know nothing, until I crept from i the hospital back to the room where we two had lived, and begged that I might have it once again.It was harder for me now to find work to do, partly because, having only myself to work for, I did not care to try so hard to find it.Slowly\u2014after my own were gone\u2014I parted with my dear boy's things, but I never touched the sovereign he had brought me on that last night.I never touched it except to look at it now and then, and to lay it tenderly against my hungry, shaking Hps.It was as sacred in my eyes as if it had been the dying gift of my favorite child.One day a new purpose entered my heart.I had bcen watching a crossing- sweeper receive many a gift from the passers-by, while I stood unnoticed and unhired, when I made a sudden determination.Lest I should go back from this if I left myself time to debate, I hurried away, and with my last shilling bought the widest, strongest broom 1 could obtain for it.I found a crossing near the Great Northern Station, and 1 kept it as clean I was but a feeble old man, but to have seen me sweeping on a muddy day, you would have said my strength was inexhaustible.I said to myself that if kind hands paid me for the power of crossing there with unsoiled boots, they should be served in earnest.And kind hands did pay me, For years and sometimes a kindly smile rewarded afterwards in my dreams I felt the cling- me.Perhaps it grew out of watching for these, and getting used to a few who pass- thankful in my heart that, in his happi- ed me every day, but I got at last to © think a great deal of the passers, to wonder about the sort of work they went into He had got employment at last\u2014work the city to do, and about the homes they which he had been at all day, in which he| went back to in the evening, It wasn't could rise, he said, until he was a richand very natural, perhaps, in an old man like clever man ; and I should have case and me, but I had no one else to think of, ex- comfort now.Ah, what a night that was || cept some one whose memory brought I went out, taking some of my little van- tears into my eyes, and Jessie, who was ught us each a rasher iso far away that my thoughts could not and some beer; and then we spread a follow her, in a strange countr great feast, talking all the time, and often strange home of which she had told mo so aving to stop in our work to laugh at little, and a At a very short distance from my cross- But Harry, in his excited gratitude,|ing there was a row of dusty houses, all could not eat his share, after all.He | of them, I think, lodging-houses.I never mado a worse attempt than he had done even thru all that anxious time of trial ;!

\u2018nobody stays with her for long And then I forgot all about it was getting a bit tired, and standing for a few minutes crowd of passengers coming out from the station-yard.Suddenly the sight of one This is too much for young man walking alone, and coming slowly toward me, struck me with a shock, and made my heart beat, so that 1 put ny hands to still its pain.The fair delicate face was so like Harry's face, the slight figure recalled my own boy s0 suddenly and so strangely, that no wonder my pulse galloped and my head reeled.He came on walking listlessly with a de- Jjocted, weary look, which it is sad to see on any young face, and was doubly sad to me to see on this one.As he came up to me, quite naturally and almost unconsciously, ho put his hand into his pocket, and locking at me with a smile\u2014a very flitting tho pleasant one\u2014he put a penny into my hand, which actually shook at his touch, 1 remember holding the coin almost in a dream, while I followed him with my eyes.I saw him go into No 7, andl turned away with a sigh because he bad chanced to seek his home there.Day after day he passed me on his way to or from the station, and always, when he passed one way, he held the penny toward mo with the same slight pleasant smile.And always did I look longingly for him, that I might see, for a few minutes, the face which reminded me of my own son.These few minutes got to be the brightest bit of my day, until at last that was clouded, because the face I loved to watch grew to have a fretting look upon it, and the smile which I had grown accustomed to came very rarely.And now, sceing more, and guessing more, than I can tell, [used to avoid him when he came, always trying to look upon him from the first moment he came within my sight until he left it, but trying to be out of his sight;when he crossed.His daily gift to (me was but a half-penny now, and the sight of it always brought the tears into my weak old eyes.Weeks went on; the change came very slowly, yet I saw it always.I noticed now that whenever he left his lodgings he had a parcel with him, and often the woman I disliked would stand upon the step and talk loudly to him as he went.When I saw this I always knew what she was saying, and would hasten away that I might not sce the worn face that day.He was carrying his things gradually away.I knew it well enough, and my heart grew sorer and sorer.There was but one thing I could do\u2014 that one thing I would do, for Harry's sake.The morning after I had made that resolution, T could hardly do any work for keeping my hand upon my pocket\u2014 the pocket where lay the precious sovereign which my boy had carned for me.He came at last.It was ouo of those mornings when I saw the woman standing with him in the narrow passage, speaking with a raised voice and angry face, and I wasn\u2019t surprised that he came out and walked towards the station more tiredly than ever, I stood right in his way to-day, and thanked him pleasantly when, with his gentle smile, he put the halfpenny into my hand, He had almost reached the entrance to the station when I came up to him, panting, the sovereign in my hand.\u2018Look, sir; you dropped it just as you passed ne; I was bavely in time to pick itup.I saw it was yours, and I was afraid of missing you.Quick, please, sir, for I've left my broom.I shall never, so long as I live, forget his face.Much as iny own boy had suffered, I knew that I had never seen pain like this upon his.Flushing oddly, he thanked me with dry, stiff lips; and, tho he quickened his pace, I was back at my work before he was round the corner, sweeping with all might and main, and locking at nothing but the dirt which I collected, for it didn\u2019t matter that I should see that thru the tears.Ho never passed again, and, tho I still caught myself often looking for him, I never had really expected him after that morning.Winter had come and was nearly over, yet I had never seen him.Sometimes I cheered myself by dreaming that Harry's sovereign had saved him from dis- race, and perhaps from sin ; but oftener Ï felt that, to make so little change in a life's fortune, there must needs be strength and energy to will and work the change.It was a chilly March night.I Fad been very low and depressed all day, and very slowly I went from my crossing half over London to reach my old room.Asl entered the court I had a sort of consciousness that I was being followed, and I remembered that the same consciousness had been upon me once or twice during my walk.stayed a moment on the step, listening, fur it was dark now ; but, hearing nothing more, I mounted the stairs.I made myself busy lighting a fire and tidying up the reom; and, when that was dono, and I sat down to rest, I was all at once aware that the door had been pushed open n few inches, and a little packet put inside.I took it up and opened it, wondering, In part of an old torn envelope there lay two half-sovereigns, I turned them over and over, tho, of course, I knew from whom they came.Then he had guessed that the moncy was mine! But why did he not bring it back himself, and tell mo he had guessed?How had ho won it back?Where was he?Washo now a prosperous man, who could well afford to repay such a loan as this, or was he leavin himself penniless once more?He woul ave returned money so if the payment had been easy to him, I took | up the torn paper again, and examined it carefully.There was part of an address written upon it, but only six letters were distinguishablo\u2014*\u2014\u2014rew\u2019s St.\u2019 I puzzled over it a long time ; but IT had; not li ved a year in London without picking up the names of most of the streets\u2014 that 1s a sort of geography which the, poorest of us koow the best\u2014and so I; uessed that the writing had been \u2018St An- rew's street, and that it was not far away\u2014a poor and shabby street, keeping its own ground with a negligent obstinacy, back to back with the streets bright and alive with wealth and life and energy.I started in the ear]y morning, leaving my broom at home, and made my way from house to house.They all seemed just alike, high and bare and shabby, only that outside soe few of the windows a broken wooden box stood on the sill, with fading, brown stalks straggling over it.Not one had the smallest look of home about it.I spent the whole day in this street, trying to find the man whose name I did not know, and it was dusk before I succeeded at last.Finding an old man, like myself, at the door of one of the unscarched houses, I bogan to talk with him, and got on to describing, carelessly, as it were, what was my crrand.With a shrug of his shoulders he pointed up the stairs behind him, and I went oddly subdued and depressed by the man\u2019s silent gesture.Should I find the young form lying still and motionless as I had seen Harry's lie on that summer Sunday morning, which always was so present to my thoughts ?I found the room at last, and beside the bed, where he lay moaning in a fever, a woman stood angrily demanding money that was due to her.\u2018But 1 haven't it; I heard the sick man whisper.\u2018If I had it, I would pay you.I will pay you when I have it.\u2019 \u2018Give me what you had yesterday, she rejoined ; \u2018you can't have spent twenty shillings since then.You wouldn\u2019t spend it in a hurry after saving it for so long.It was not mine,\u201d the sick man cried, as he raised his fevered head and appealed to lier in desperate earnestness.\u2018Oh, believe me when I tell you this, and let me be ! Search the room and take all there is, only let me lie here without your hard words piercing my head.I will pay all when I am strong again.Have pity fora little time, and leave me! I could scarcely breatho for the great lump that had risen in my throat.Only wanting to be left thers alone ! Asking for nothing\u2014doctor, medicine, food\u2014no- thing but to be left untended, uncared for, in that desolate room, where there was not even a glass of water to cool his dry, parched lips ! I beckoned the woman out to me, and gave her the very money she had been inquiring after; and then she went away, still grumbling a little for form's sake; but afterwards, for the long days and nights thru which lie fought for life in that gloomy attic, she was almost gentle in her manner to him, A kind and pitiful doctor, to whom I appealed, attended hin thru all that time with untold kindness, aud on the very first day that the April sunshine found its way into St Andrew\u2019s Street, lic tottered from his bed upon my arm, and sat beside tho dingy window looking out upon the old green box of withered stalks.I left him so, and hurried to my work.It was doubly needful now that I should waste no time, because I had not myself alone to work for.I entered my room for the first time for many days, and all the old loneliness came back upon me as my eyes fell on the empty bed that had been Harry's.I thought of many things, drearily, miserably wondering whether it would not have been better to let the sick man pass the gates to which he had been so near; wondering whether T should mind it much when I lay here alone to die, as I must do when the old arms, which were so often tired now, had grown useless in their work.But somehow, as I sat there on Harry's empty bed, even these thoughts grew changed ; for round every thought of mine was such a deep glad memory of my boy, that the gloom seemed always to be kept back by the knowledge that he had reached the happy, restful home of which he had spoken on that last Saturday we were together.I had just risen to leave the room when I heard the unusual sound of a tap upon my creaking door, and I opened it to meet the postman face to face.I remember that I had a paper to sign, and that I signed it; but how or where I cannot tell.I remember that the man smiled a good bit at my awkward excitement, but I don\u2019t remember that I did anything with my letter until I sat down again beside the cloudy window in St Andrew's Street, telling my good news to the friend who had grown so strangely dear to mo, and watching how the wan face flushed and paled, and flushed again.\u2018You guess what that letter was, and what it contained ?Jessie and her husband were prospering in Now England, and had written to entreat us\u2014Harry and me\u2014to go out to them.When they wrote, they had just received Harry's letter telling of our loss, so you may imagine how kind and loving their letter was.It was days and days before I could read it all, for the mists that always came between my eyes and the unfamiliar words of love and sympathy.Money was enclosed, not only for our passage, but for everything else that wo could possibly want, and began at once to think of these preparations, for the date upon the letter was a vory old one, and it seemed to have been half over England in its search for me.What n timo that was, whilo I prepared for ou: voyage, and while Harry\u2014his name was Harry, too, and, tho for long 1 could not utter it, I have grown now to be glad\u2014almost rapidly recovered his strength in his cagor desire to help mo, whilo 1 talked by the hour of the fresh, pure air to which I should take him; of the un- laborious toil which in a fair new home would make life pleasant to him ; of my own gratitude because I should have a home inmy old age among those Iloved,and yet need not leave behind me one whom I was growing equally to love.We set sail together on a bright May morning, and before we reached here Harry was as well and active as any one on board.Jessie's surprise and grief at her brother's death was very great, but she, too, grew soon to love her father\u2019s friend, and now no one is welcomed as he is in her pleasant home.You know how well he 1s succeeding in all his undertakings here, and you know also how well he is beloved in all the state, To see Lim now, and to think of him as he lay in that\u2014 But] never will think of it, concluded the old man, except just to Le grateful.As I said, he added, looking along the river to where the boat had, an hour before, disappeared in the bend of the stream, Jessie loves him now as she loved her only brother, and her daughter, little Jessie, as I cannot help still calling her, Las given him all the warmest, gladdest love of her heart; while as for me\u2014 But no wonder; is there a son in all the state more fond and true and tender to his father than is my adopted son to me?I was thinking, as I watched him and little Jessie talking together a while ago, she on the bridge and he in the boat below her, what a help and comfort he had Leen to all of us, what a peaceful, love-filled home he will bring Jessie to, and of their earnest, pleading wish that I should never leave it.And when I thought upon the life behind, and on the peace around, and on the brightness and glory coming, I felt that the earnest and unsclfish life of my own dear lad had not been lived in vain, THE LITTLE OLD STORE S$
