The Order was at first limited to 60 members; but as soon as the limit was withdrawn, Jesuit seminaries sprang up in every direction.Within nine years there were Jesuit establishments planted at as remote a distance as Hindostan ; while Francis Xavier, one of the six pilgrims, carried his missionary work to the very confines of the Chinese Empire.Their special work has always been to educate, to convert the heathen as missionaries, and by -minglingin the world fo make proselytes wherever they could to the Roman Catholic Church.In order to serve that church, they have in past \u2018times taken active part in the political affairs of nations, and have on this account been the objects of fierce political rivalry, hostility and bitter persecution.At this moment the Jesuits are not allowed to have their seminaries, or to pursue the objects of their order in Germany, Russia or France.In Catholic Spain and Austria, and in Protestant England and America, they are free to carry out their objects without molestation.Wherever the Protestant missionary, seeking to draw savages and heathen into the Christian fold, advances thru the barbarous regions of the earth, he finds the Jesuit missionary laboring at his side.While the Jesuits are still a vast and powerful religious body, pursuing vigorously the work which has been going on for three centuries, they are still to some extent dreaded by political powers.But the day when the Jesuits having almost supreme influence, could be the cause of great wars, and of the overthrow of monarchs, have probably passed away forever.A recent report on the subject shows that the Jesuit order, now divided into 5 great provinces, has in Italy and her islands, 1,558 fathers; that in Germany, Austria-Hungary, Belgium and the Netherlands it has 2,165, and that in France it has 2,708.Spain and Mexico have 1.933, and England and the United States have 1,895.Of priests, professors and coadjutors there were in all in 1882 11,058.In 1870 the total was 10,529, in 1880 it was 10,494, and in 1881 it was 10,298.FATHER MATHEW AND PROHIBITION.Rev.George W, PEPPER, Worcester, Ohio, in the Catholic Temperance Advocate for September, claims that \u201c extermination\u201d is the only remedy for intemperance, and says: This was the deliberate decision of the Rev.Father Mathew, a name fraught with honor and encompassed with power.This single name speaks with an eloquence as brief as it is potent on this all-momentous theme, I have in my hand a letter written to me by this eminent philanthropist in 1854.I had called a meeting in Belfaat to take steps toward the suppression of the liquor-traffic by law.A meeting was called in one of the largest halls in the city.Father Mathew could not be present, but he sent this letter : e My Dear FRIEND : The question of probibit- ing the use of ardent spirits, and the many other intoxicating drinks which are to be found in our unhappy country, is not new to me.The principle of prohibition seems to me the only safe and certain remedy for the evils of intemperance.This opinion has been strengtb- ened and confirmed by the hard labor of more than twenty years in the temperance cause.rejoice in the welcome intelligence of the formation of a Maine Law Alliance, which I trust will be the means under God of destroying the fruitful source of crime and pauperism.Allow me to thank you for your earnest, active, and indefatigable labors in this great movement.Yours very truly, THEOBALD MATHEW.MISCELLANEOUS.KINCARDINE, Ont, November 21.\u2014About 8.90 this afternoon news was received here that the tug Esabelle, owned by O'Delle & Wherry, of Windsor, whicharrived at this port on Tuesday morning to take off the beached schooner Carter, had blown upand all hands were lost.Ou going to the scene of disaster it was found that the boiler of the tug had exploded and the veasel itself was shattered to pieces, but fortunately the lives of eight of the crew of twelve had been saved, What caused the accident will never boknown.It isaupposed that the pumps which supplied the boiler became choked in some way and this was not noticed by the first | engineer who was in charge ; the water got low and when the water did find its way into the boiler it had the same effect upon the hot plates ax a spark of fire would have, in à powder magazine.Syracuse, Nov.21.\u2014The Irish National League Convention attended by upwards of 160 delegates from Irish societies throughout the State, opened to-day.The object is to organize the State of New York for the assistance of Ireland's cause.Dr.Wallace, of the State Executive National League a ed for the fulfilment of the pledge to the Philadelphia convention to extent aid to Ireland, and half a mill- jon Irishmen should be enrolled for Ireland's relief in this State, that every man should contribute a dollar.After organization, with Dr.Wallace as chairman, committees were named on organization, At the afternoon session Father Cronyn, of Buffalo, chairman ef the committee on resolutions, offered a series of resolutions, which were adopted.The resolutions, after reaffirming the principles of the Philadelphia platform, pledge the united support of all the Irish organizations in this State to Mr.Parnell in any policy he may adopt for the advancement of the Irish cause.The resolutions continue, \u201c As the manufactures of Great Britain are the chief source of her material greatness which is already declining under the influence of American competition, we earnestly counsel our countrymen in this State not to use English manufactures themselves and to discountenance their use in the sphere of their influence, and that apledge to this effect be a condition of admission as membership in this National League.\u201d Resolutions recommend postponing the close of American contributions to the Par- pell fund until next St.Patrick's Day The Committee on organization reported for apportioning each county, and the appointment of Vice-Presidents who shall be members of the State Committee.Father Cronyn, of Buffalo, offered a resolution, which was adopted, declaring that a special testimonial fund of $25,000 from the State of Yew York should be raised for Parnell.This fund is separate from the one being raised by the National League.When Jane Walsh, whe married Thomas Carlyle, was a girl, she was so full of life and energy as to be a mateh for the boys in running and Toaping.One of the feats, which made her famous in her native village, was the ease with which she could surmount a wall, seven feet high, around the cemetery.Years afterwards, when she had become an old lady, she re-visited the village, but walked the street without being recognized by any of the companions of her youth.A single action, however, betrayed her.She had made an arrangement with the sexton to be at the ccmetery, at early morn to unlock the gate.She was present earlier than the appointed hour, and after waiting some time grew impatient, for she was eager tolook on the grave of her revered parents In her vexation at the long delay, she remembered the feat of her girlhood, and though the suppleness of youth had gone, she managed to repeat the feat with tolerable ease.One of the old residents saw it, and soon after, meeting her in the cars, ventured to ask,\u2014* Is not this Jeannie Walsh?I thought it must be you, for there was never another girl in town who would get over the wall in that fashion.\u2019 Says a distinguished speaker: We do not expect to banish intemperance from the land, nor to entirely prevent the manufacture and usc of intoxicating drinks.No law, either human or divine, absolutely prevents the crime it prohibits, Men will lie and steal, murder and get drunk, so long as they will sin; and no power on earth can prevent it.What then?Would you wipe out all penal enactments because you cannot perfectly enforce them?We purpose to put the making and vending of intoxicating drinks in the category of crimes, where it belongs, and to treat the men who poison their fellows as criminals.This will decide the legal status of the traffic, placing it under the ban of law.The State will no longer endorse it, nor bear the responsibility for its evils, It will be labelled with ita true name, and stand before the public in its real character.President Garfield once said that \u2018men admire a brave man, one who dares to look the devil in the face and tell him that he is the devil\u2019 So we propose to call this traffic by its right name and put it in its proper place, among the things that God has forbidden and cursed.We also propose to remove the open temptations te social drinking: to close the dram-shops and saloons, those grand avenues to'vice and crime.We aim in this way to save multitudes from the allurements and en- ruin, for that business.All communications addressed to David Bryson, Howick, P.Q.,or to David D.Bryson, Agent, Orms.1 town, P.Q., wiil receive immediate attention, PREPARE FOR WHATS COMING.J S.McCALLUM, of Huntingdon, who is pre- J o pared to furnish either tho trade or public with anything in the Plated-ware line (of new and pretty design and excellent quality), at marvellously low prices, will commence a tour thru the District this week, when ail will at least ticements that drag them into the vortex of the stock will be sold either wholesale or retail, avid BRYSON TTortned Tootobeer Tor the to suit parchasers.District of Beauharnols, which consists of the counties of Huntingdon, Chateauguay and Beauharnole.Bells in the English and French languages.No higher charges made for extra distances to travel, aa all his time is at his disposal have an opportunity of viewing and bandling the CHRAP CASH STORE FILLING UP!

of November, 1783, the British fleet, having taken on board all the King's troops, sailed from New York harbor.On Monday, the New Yorkers commemorated the event, and with itclosed the long list of celebrations they have held during the pest 8 years.It cannot be said that these celebrations have always been in good taste, or that what has been uttered or enacted at them been true to fact.An immense amount of fiction has become interwoven with the history of the first American war, which totally misrepresents events and makes heroes out of dubious characters.When the intense national self-love of our neighbors has abated somewhat, and the consciousness creeps upon them that there is another side to their national story, doubtless an historian will arise among them who will dare to do, what none has had the courage so far to attempt,\u2014namely to give them an impartial account of the events they have been 60 enthusiastically recalling.Fromthe Haldimand collection of official documents alone, irrefrag- able preof can be given to shatter a thousand of the legends repeated in American histories, and each one of which has been devised to flatter the national vanity.The point, and the sole one, to which Canadians need take exception in these celebrations, bas been the misrepresentation of those colonists who refused to take up arms against the Mother Country.Whenever they have been spoken of, it has been as traitors to the cause of liberty ; as malignants who perversely espoused the King's side.The numbers and influence of thoee who are absurdly called Tories has been continually underrated, and contempt and execration heaped upon their memories.All this is not merely ungenerous but unjust.The Loyalists of America were the noblest class of menjthis continent has known, and their story shall yet be repeated wherever patriotiem is esteemed a virtue, as an example of what it behoves all to do and suffer for the sake of the Government to which they owe allegiance.Instead of being a handful in the population of their day, the Loyalists formed a large minority even in those States where the spirit of revolt was most rife, and in a few, as in the Carolinas, they were in the majority.Wherever they were, they formed the wealthiest and best educated class, and there is no darker feature io the lives of many of those patriots whose praises have been sounded at these centennial celebrations, than that they took the side they did in order that they might possess themselves of the property of the Loyalists.Their spoliation was universal.The sturdy farmer of Duchess county, for no other cause than that he wished to die un- derthe flag beneath which he had been born, was robbed ofhis land and driven into the wilderness with his family to perish; the merchant-prinece of New York, because he preferred King George's government te that which Paine was helping to devise, saw his wealth seized by demagogues and had to flee across the seas a beggar.Iu the name of liberty, men who could not constrain their consciences to being false to their allegiance, were persecuted with a cruelty and robbed with a remorselessness that has had no parallel within the century.Millions of acres of land and millions of dollars\u2019 worth of movable property were confiscated simply because their owners would not abjure the allegiance they believed in their souls they were in duty bound to pay.From the bounds of each State these persecuted men were driven as outcasts, and they found new homes in the West Indies, in Nova Scotia and New Brunawick, and what is now Quebec and Ontario.The persecution was not confined to men alone.Numerous instances have been preserved where wives who owned property in their own right had it confiscated because they would not abandon their Loyalist husbands.The representations that the War ~ of Independence was approved of by an overwhelming majority, that the movement was sustained by the unanimous consent of the people, cannot stand in the light of the truth, and the fact, that the minority were cruelly treated, for their conscientious opinions, is not to be What was a great calamity to those Loyalists, las proved of the greatest advantage to Canada.The chivalrous spirit that made them despise they of the duty they owed him; has proved the seed of the grandest principle that ever welded it became self-evident that separation was inevitable, they sought to realize in Canada what was doomed south of it, and if there be any patriotic feeling among us, anything of that spirit which constrains men to do and dare on behalf of their native land, the spirit of self- sacrifice and devotion to protect and further its interests, it has sprung from the seed which a \u201ccentury ago the Uuited Empire Loyalists planted in our soil.If Canada is to be preserved from the insidious doctrines of Independence, if she is not to be lured by the material ad- , vantages of Annexation, if she is to go forward |and establish a Second Britain on this con- \u2018tinent, loyal to the land which gave her birth and united to it by a common allegiance, it will | be because she cherishes the principles of those ,brave and good men who, preferring honor to | wealth apd popularity, became exiles and founded the first settlements in our domain.That our American kindred, in recalling events in which it is natural and right they should glory, have done injustice to their memories is not surprising or blameworthy, when we consider the authorities from whom they have drawn what little they know of them.IN last week's paper allusion was made tu the critical situation in Upper Egypt.Since then tidings have come of a decisive battle having been fought, in which the False Prophet proved the victor.The appearing of this False Prophet is one of the most singular incidents of our times.Mahomet declared that, afterthe Faith- (ful had endured wany tribulations, he would send a great prophet, who would deliver them and subdue their enemies.The chief sign by which they were to know the prophet was to be that he would be invincible; would crush every foe that he met.In that little known portion of Africa in which are the sources of the Nile, there sprang forward a man who declared he was this prophet, and gaining followers, has slowly but steadily pressed northwards, gathering strength with each year.In his progress he entered the Soudan, over which the Khedive claims jurisdiction, as being a province of Egypt.To turn back the False Prophet from its frontier he sent last Summer an army, composed chiefly of the regiments that were beaten by the British at Tel-el-Kebir.To command it he selected an Englishman, Hicks, who had experience in the Sepoy Rebellion and in the Abyssinian campaign.To aid him, 9 British and several Austrian officers volunteered their services.To avoid the fatigue of marche ing up the banks of the Nile, the army was taken on at the Suez canal and landed at a port on the Red Sea.From there they had to penetrate one of the wildest and most barren sections of country known\u2014a wilderness of rocks and sand, which does not even afford sufficient water.General Hicks, or as he was termed Pasha Hicks, surmounted all difficulties and reached the valley of the Nile after a march of 230 miles.The correspondent of an English paper wrote\u2014 We are fifteen hundred miles south of Cairo, in the midst of a wild unexplored country.The Egyptians, with whom I am camped on the banks of the Nile, will have but one chance\u2014 one tremendous pitched battle.The enemy is as courageous and fierco as Zulus and much better armed.Our army is that which ran before a handful of British troops at Tel-el- Kebir.We are obliged to march in a square with our baggage and water camels, five thousand in number, in the midst, lest the enemy's cavalry surprise us.We only march 10 miles a day.After 12 o'clock the heat is frightful It takes 4 days from one set of wells to another, then we find the wells filled with stones, or earth or the rotting bodies of men and camels.Then we go back again, with the enemy hanging on our flank, watching every opportunity to make a dash.I am pretty well accustomed to dangers, yet I feel how terrible it is to face 1 deadly peril in the company of cravens.We march out shortly to fight a decisive battle, I fear we shall get the worst of it, and if so, then not a man will escape.These words were prophetic.Learning that the False Prophet was encamped at a small town or oasis named El Obid, Hicks ejther sent ! balf his army to demand his surrender, or was deceived by emissaries of the Prophet into sending half his force on such an errand.The division was misled by treacherous guides, and while threading its way through a defile was Hicks had the advantage, but slowly succumbed to overwhelming numbers and the exhaustion @ people together.As a man they did not of continuous fighting.The

past social condition of the natives, making comparisons between the heathen and those.converted to Christianity.He has been there: 11 years, and his life with the savages presents the most thrilling adventures and hair-breadth ; escapes, but such are the existing reforms, that, on leaving the islaud, he could leave the door of his dwelling unlocked, satisfied for the safety of his property during

Chief's daughter.lle sang a hymn and said.the Lord\u2019s Prayer in the Eromangese language.His address was most engaging, wany being affected even to tears.The collection amounted to $37, and afterwards subscriptions were handed in to the Rev DW.Morison which raised Mr RoBERTSON began by describing the various missionary efforts that were being put forth in the part of the South Sea to which Eromanga belonged.The most successful work in that portion of the Globe had been done by the Wesleyan Methodists of England, who had offected a wonderful change in the inhabitants of the Fejee islands, who, not long ago, had been degraded cannibals.Converts had gone from these islands to carry the Gospel to others and its people contributed yearly a substantial sum for missionary purposes.There were certain advantages in the Fejee group which were wanting in the New Hebrides.Thus, one language was spoken and they had a stable government, for the islands were under British authority.Unfortunately, in the New Hebrides | each island had a language of its own, and the land was owned by the chiefs, who were incapable of governing them.It was only a question of time when all the islands from Fejee to New Guinea would pass under the control of some European Power, and if Great Britain did not annex them France likely would, when all that had been done by the missionaries would be lost.Australia was eager to annex those islands, and he would like to see her get them, provided it would cause no trouble with the Mother Country.It was the best thing that could happen those islands, to come under British rule.Two plans had been Island to Eromangs, wheres he labored 4 years and until the measles broke out, when 1800 of the natives died.In their superstitious blindness they believed the missionary waa the cause of the scourge, and murdered both bim aud his wife.His brother velunteered to take his place and labored succeasfully for 8 years, during which period be translated a great part of the New Testament.One day, while engaged on the passage in the Acts describing the martyrdom of Stephen, he was told 9 natives from a distance were waiting to see him.They asked him for medicine and then for empty bottles, all which he gave, when one, getting near, threw an American tomahawk at him, which sunk in his face.He staggered back thru the open window and fell on his manuscript, when his murderer followed to pluck out and recover his tomshawk.His converts, after his murderers had left, gathered up bis books and papers and sent them to the adjoining mission- ary-station, with word that it was no use for any more missionaries to come, for they would be killed as those four already had been.I bave here (said Mr Robertson) the tomahawk that killed poor Gordon, given me by his daughter.cle is like the ordinary American hunting-tomahawk, with an axe-head of about 4 by 3, and a handle of 15 inches long].In 1871 I and my wife offered ourselves for the work, and 8 of us sailed, 6 being from Nova Scotia.I was appointed to Eromanga, and have labored for 11 years there.The house of Gordon was so wrecked that it was of no use, so | built another, tho I knew nothing of carpentering, and much trouble it gave me.When finished all the furniture we had to put in it was a ship's chair and & pucking-box, which was made to serve for a washstand and a table.Despite our privations, we lived very happily so for 17 months, among 2500 painted heathen, whose habits I dare not describe before a mixed audience.Several had breechloaders, supplied them by traders, whose acts I do not comment \u2018on; many of the natives are dead-shots.In 2 pursued in carrying on mission-work in the: South Sea Islands.There was Bishop Selwyn's, | of taking away a few promising young men by sailing round the island in the Dayspring, from each island, educating them, and sending them back to convert their brethren.In practice the plan did not succeed very well, for too The | years I sent out G teachers, and 6 months later 1 journeyed across the island, finding a numerous population on my way, none of whom would then listen to the Gospel.I repeated my visit and set up a house with great difficulty, made of ironwoud logs, for we had no lumber, at Cook\u2019s Bay, where there are now good schools.Chief on whom I was dependent, was a many of the young men, on

assembled and after each had secured a partner for the evening, which was done by matching\u2019 the neckties and aprons received on entering, an adjournment was made to the schoolroom below, which for the time being had been cont verted into a dining-hall, and full justice done to the excellent repast provided.After supper the audience proceeded to the hall above to\u2019 listgn to the rendering of the musical \u2018of the programme, which, after a few remarks; ifrotn the chairman, Mr Wattie, was opened by | !a chorus, very creditably performed, by à num- lber of young ladies and gentlemen, and was followed by a choice selection of readings, recitations, vocal and instrumental pieces, all of, which were given in an exceedingly able manner and much appreciated by the audience generally.| i Much annoyance was felt, however, by those | | who came to listen to the pieces, by the conduct | of a small portion of the audience, chiefly boys and two or three young men, who, to their shame be it said, did not appreciate a good programme, nor had they the good manners to allow others, who wished to listen, to do so, and it is to be hoped that a repetition of such conduct will not again disgrace any of our gatherings.Perhaps it might also be mentioned that the selling of , sweets, &c, during the progress of a concert does not tend to maintaining good order.Apart from this drawback, the social may be characterized as a great success, huth financially and | also as regards the pleasuro derived by the assembly.The young ladies and gentlemen who assisted, are to be congratulated and it is to be hoped that ere long we shall have the pleasure of enjoying another such treat at their hands.Notices are being served upon those in arrears for town taxes, The cottage

the family were absent, and a silver watch and chain taken, yajeed at forty-five dollars.Mp Honsinger did not get any trace af his watch until lant rpring, when he learned that such a watob had been

after its usual manner.So far from there being any sectarian feeling, the missionaries of the different denominations worked together, and apportioned among themselves their respective fields of labor.Thus in the New Hebrides, the Episcopalians werked from the North, and the Presbyterians from the South, and each were pressing to meet.To carry on the work ships Weke necgssary.The Church of England had a small steam-vessel, and thé Presbyterians had first the Juhn Knox, which after serving for 12 or 13 years had been succeeded by the Day- spring, which had been wrecked, when another and larger vessel, the present Dayspring, was sent out.The islands had been called by Capt Cook the New Hebrides from their resemblance to the Hebrides of Scotland.They were 30 in number, and inhabited by probably from 2 to 3 hundred thousand souls.On many of the islands were mountains, reaching from 2 to 3 thousand feet high.They had no Winter, frost being unknown.July, August, and September were the coldest months, and from January to April was what they called the rainy season\u2014 a period when they had severe storms accompanied by rain, and it was during that time the yspring was lost.They had vceasional earth- uakes and tidal waves, but of no great severity.The islands had no commerce and no shipping, the only vessels that visited them being those designed to kiduap laborers to work on the sugar plantations of the Sandwich Islands.By this nefarious traffic, the islands were deprived of the very cream of their population, for it was the able-bodied and vigorous they selected, The death-rate among those kidnapped was terrible, for out of every 100 taken away, 90 perished.Our great want is trade with places abroad, for the people have no encouragement to raise more produce than they can use.If we had a stable government all this would be fhanged.Our only means of communication with the outsidg world is the Dayspring, and we wait and long for her, for she brings us supplies, books, magazines, and letters, and if any of our missionaries are sick it is she who conveys them 1500 miles to get medical advice.Sometimes she will take on board a party of 50 or $0 natives on a trip to & Christian island, to convince them that embracing the Gospel does pot bring hunger and misery, as they superstitiously believe.It costs £1800 sterling a year to keep up the Days ring, and we are thankful to the children of Great Britain and of the Maritime Provinces who raise the amount.There is & necessity for à larger vessel and one fitted with auxiliary steam-power, for it has taken the Dayspring 6 days to make 80 miles, owing to head winds.There are 10 islands in the New Hebrides group occupied by the Presbyterian missionaries, who number 13, and the change that has been wrought in 20 years has been wonderful.Then they were sav cannibals, now there are among them 4000 who attend church and 1000 communicants.Portions of the Scriptures have been printed in their languages, and all the islands are open to missionary effort.Arrowroot, which ws wild in these islands, and somewhat in the form of a potato, we have taught them how to prepare, and this they have given as a contribution to missions, supplying as much as £1400 worth to print the translation of the Scriptures, the Catechism, and Pilgrim's Progress, besides £160 as free-gift to the Free Church of Scotland.John Williams was the first to attempt to plant the Gonpel in these islands; he was murdered and his murderers feasted on his body.His companion, Harris, met a like fate.Turner and Nesbit went next, but the natives would not ilet them land on Eromanga, and they finally settled on Samoa, where they labored for 40 and one of whom is still living.In 1888 Gordon went from Prince Ed | which

build houses, to til their land, to do housework, and all the other habits of civilization, my wife and myself consider we are as much doing God's work as when we are teaching them on bended knees how to pray.When came away I left the island in charge of 33 native teachers, whose sole compensation for leaving their homes and oing into the work is 325 a year.The churches in which\u2019 these teachers hold service every Sunday are crowded, and I want to say here that all our converts are mostly total abstainers, not only from European liquors but their own native fermented beverage.Unless tempted by white men, they will always so continue, and it will be most unfortunate if spirits are ever offered to them, for when a native once gets the appetite for drink he is lost.When I went they had no money, and on my presenting à coin to a chief he threw it in the river, saying he could neither eat nor wear it.It is different now, and they are obtaining some money by selling arrowroot.£300 of what they received was given to missions, partly to pay for the printing of the translation of the 4 Gospels, which I am getting done at Toronto.At the farewell meeting when I left, 500 were present, of whom 130 sat down to the Lord's Supper, not in a building, for there was none large enough, but under the banyan, the cocoa, and the orange trees of my own planting.Among them were 3 sons of the murderer of John Williams, That sight, in itself, rewarded us for all our labors, and we felt we could leave the work in the hands of the native teachers until our return.At Bowmanville 1 got 12 letters from them, telling of their continued success, aud their reports have been confirmed by 2 missionaries who visited my stations, 1 will give you an idea of the change wrought by Christianity in these islands.34 years agoa ship was wrecked on McKenzie's island, and every man on hoard.was killed and eaten.The same fate overtook a crew thrown on the island 25 years ago.Not long ago when a steamship was wrecked, the 2 chiefs went down to the shore, led them to their homes, and fed them for 3 months.All are not like that, however.Once a request came from a tribe for a teacher.The choice made by the missionary was one Mimothy, it being unfortunately not known that he belonged to a tribe with whom the other had a feud.He went with a companion and was tomahawked.The companion returned at night with the news, when, on hearing the death-wail the missionary hurried to the village, to find the men preparing to go to avenge Timothy's death.With much difficulty he persuaded them to desist ; assuring them revenge was contrary to Christ's teaching.On the very spot where Timothy fell, there is now a pretty white chapel, crowded by attentive congregations, from whom many teachers have gone out.Incidents like these show that the Gospel is still powerful to convert the hearts of men.Mr Robertson closed by a fervent exhortation to his hearers to make sure of their salvation and bade them farewell, as he would never ses them again, Mr Robertson was at one time in business at Halifax, and abandoned all to enter the mission work, He is of middle-age, ruddy complexion, and looks

especially in the clay country north of this township, from the lack of water in the streams and in the wells, and serious apprehension is felt that, unless we have an abundant rainfall before the winter finally sets in, the inconvenience spoken of will be greatly intensified., Mr Roberts has closed up his accounts with his patrons for the season.The result shows that they receive $1.05 per 100 th for the months of September and October, and $1.17 for November.For the former months, 91b of milk were required to make one of cheese ; for the current month, 81b, It is doubtful that any cheese fae- tory in the district will show a return more satisfactory to its patrons.Mr Roberts has some thought of enlarging the capacity of his factory for the ensuing season.Its present capacity has been fully employed during the season just closed, - The Annual Missionary Meeting in conneetion with the Methodist Church in this place, was held on the evening of the 13th inst.The weather and roads being favorable, the attendance was larger than it has been on similar occasions for some years past.The meeting was a spirited and interesting one.Addresses were e by the pastor of the church, the Rev.Mr yers, who officiated as Chairman\u2014by the Rev.Mr Jamieson of Lacolle and by the Rev.L.N.Beaudry of Montreal.While the speeches of the occasion were all appropriate and interesting, that of Mr Beaudry was especially so.Mr Beaudry\u2019s address was devoted.mainly to the French Mission work of the Methodist Church.His nationality and his experience have given him special qualifications for the discussion of such a topic.Some incidents of that experience were given with a pathos and apower which touched the hearts and roused the sympathies of the hearers, ' The Anniversary Meeting of the Hemming- ford Branch of the M.A.Bible Society was held in the Presbyterian Church on the evening of the 16th inst.Owing to the pastorless situation of two of the three Protestant churches of the place, and to the unavoidable absence of the Rev.Mr Myers, the travelling agent of the parent society, the Rev.Mr Green, lacked the assistance usually given him by the resident ministers of the place.Mr.Green gave a lecture on the occasion, his topic being\u2014Science and Revelation.Considering the necessary limits (as to time) of such an occasion, the subject was well handled.The general feeling of Mr Green's hearers was, however, that it would be more judicious, perhaps, for him to select as the subject of an address for such occasions, a topic requiring less of abstruse and technical discussion than the one which he has made the basis of his remarks at, Bible Society meetings the present year, Some changes were- made in the office-bearers of the local society; Mr F.8S.Proper, who for many years has filled the position of secretary, was chosen President to fill the place made vacant by the removal from Hemmingford of Dr.Glover, Mr Charles W.Scriver was chosen Secretary in Mr Proper\u2019s stead.The Treasurer's report showed that the free contributions of the Hemmingford Branch amounted for the current year, to 370, a larger sum than has ever been contributed before in ay one year in the history of the society.r Glover's friends in this county, will be surprised, no doubt, to learn that he has returned to Scotland.As intimated in the correspondence from this place several weeks ago, the Dr was offered and accepted the position of physician in charge of the men at work upon a section of the Canadian Pacific Railway, now under construction on the north shore of Lake Superior.Dr Glover bad about completed his preparations and was on the eve of setting out for his new sphere of labor, when such intelligence regarding the nature of the work that he would be called upon to do, its laborious and even dangerous character, reached him, that he decided not teen in it.Aboutthe time that he reached this determination, an intimation came to him from friends in Scotland that em- loyment awaited him there, He sailed for lasgow on the 16th inst.There has been more sickness than usual hereabouts, of late, and Dr Glover's successor has been pretty fully employed for the last month or so.{mong the cases of illness attracting specialinterest and sympathy, isthat of Mr George Fisher, who is sufforibg from a lytic shock.Mr Fisher is one of the oldest residents of the place.His father settled in Hem.mingford early in the present century.Mr Fisher is the last surviving brother of the Igte Mrs.Moe of Franklin who died somettme ago at a very advanced age, A REMONSTRANCE.Tb the Editor of the Canadian Gleaner.ON Friday evening, the 23d inst, the youn ladies of the Presbyterian Church, ValleyBeld, assisted by gentleman friends, gave an entertainment in the Academy Hall.After partaking liberally of a very excellent supper, the audience repaired to the ball to hear a well selected programme gone thru, but I am sarry to say, these who wanted to listen to the music and singing were unable to do so, from the disorderly conduct of numerous spall boys, and particularly of two grown up young men, one an American who works in the Cotton factory, the other a Canadian, a native of this district, and heretofore very orderly in his conduct.Per- bapsbicycle riding hasbad a deleterious effect on the good manners of this particular young man, ilereferring to this subject, I wonld advise the young ladies, when giving another entertainment,(which I hope will be soon,) to do away with the abominable practice of selling candy bags, ring cake, &c, while the programme is being rendered, as it prevents the audience frem hearing what is going on, encourages.those noisily inclined, and further is, in my opinion, à direct insult to those performing, It is not pleasant to have to refer to Qs matter so strongly.bat such a state of things should not be, and as -Valleyfeld audience have heretofore been noted for good

sparks had communicated the fire to the roof of St.George's Chapel, which is part The Royal fire brigade stationed at the Castle immediately extinguished the flames, and quiet was restored at the Castle.During the progress of the fire in the town, and particularly after the fire on the roof of the chapel, the sxcitementat the Castle was intense.The Queen did not conceal her anxiety, several times sending to enquire as to the extent of the fire and the liability of danger to the Castle, and seemed greatly relieved when informed that the fire had been entirely quenched.Madrid, Nov.12\u2014The German Crown Prince landed at Valencia to-day.He was met with an enthusiastic reception.Ten thousand people gathered to witness the landing, and greeted the Prince with loud cheers,

of Valencia, and other persons of distinction, received the Crown Prince at the landing point; the reception took place in a tent tastefully decorated with German and Spanish colonrs.When the Grown Prince left the marquee twelve peasant girls approached and presented him with baskets of fruits and flowers.The Prince and receiving party than drove thru the town.Troops lined the route to the palace of the Captain-General, where the official re- coption was held.The Prince subsequently proceeded to the Alhambra promenade and witnessed a parade of the troops.On his return to the palace he

on the Red River, while lying anchored near Haid-Zuong.The attacking force comprised twelve hundred Black Flags, all Ton- quinese, reinforced by bands of pirates, whose villages had been burned by order of Admiral Courbet.The onslaught was made with great fury, and twelve of the Carabine's crew were wounded, including M.Marquis, the French resident of Haiphong.The gunboat was completely riddled with bullets, but her decks were protected by hanging iron plates on the sides, without which she would have suffered severely.There were no Chinese regulars among the attacking force.At the same time an attack was made on the Citadel of Haid-Puong which was defended by only sixty soldiers.The fortress was surrounded and attacked on all sides.The large gunboat Lynx, with a crew numbering ninety-four men, commanded by Lieut.Blouet, heard the cannonading, and went to give assistance, in time to prevent the complete destruction of the Carabine and the capture of the Citadel.Her four guns dispersed the enemy, who, being massed, suffered severely.Among the prisoners were an Anamite and a Black Flag anderin.The garrisonof Haid-Zuong remained on board the Lynx awaiting the arrival of one thousand troops sent from Hanoi.Oue hundred and fifty men have been sent to Hai- Phong where an attack is anticipated from the band, Four villages in the vicinity of Haid- Zuong have already.been

who examined these farms on Saturday and Monday last, intend taking up land in the Medicine Hat District early in the spring.They say that with coal laid down at Medicine Hat for 85 a ton and almost as good a soil as is to be found east, they can make more money than the farmer in Manitoba, where the fuel is dearer.Next season there will undoubtedly be a rush into the region between Swift Current

!singers at a concert which took place in aid of the bazaar.After receiving a most hearty and enthusiastic encore, Mr McDougall responded in iving another song.The audience by their oud applause demanded still another.In answer, Mr McDougall appeared on the platform and bowed.This would not satisfy the assem- plag , and after the singer explaining that he had no more, he could fo no better than give them a recitationentitled \u201c Love in the Kitchen.\u201d At the conclusion of the piece Mr McDougall was enthusiastically cheered.The next part of the programme was then proceeded with, and at the conclusion Mr J J.McGee, Clerk of the Privy Council, rose among the audience and objected to the recitation given by Mr McDougall, as being an insult to Irishmen.After an explanation from Mr McDougall, Mr McGee again rose to speak, but was stopped by Father Whelan, who said that he also disapproved of the recitation, in so much as it spoke of Irish- |men making love in the kitchen the same as if {they could not make lave in the parlor.The unpleasant proceedings brought the programme peremptorily toa close.The subject is the sole topic of conversation on the streets to-day.Mr C.J.Brydges, Land Commissioner Hudson Bay Co., being in Montreal was interviewed on the alleged discontent in the North-west.Mr Brydges said there was à good deal of discontent because things were not as good as they should be.People were discontented with the Government's land regulations, and the high duties on agricultural implementa, but there was not going to be any \u2018blood and thunder business.\u2019 The business situation in the North-West was much improved, aud the outlook favourable.Dr.Wilson acknowledges that he had passed # large plate of bread, Major Moore following him with an unfermented liquid, but poiots out that there were no prayers of any kind, no form of consecration, no words of admonition to say one.The Dean has given Dr.Wilson three months leave of absence pending his further action in the matter.Dr.Wilson still attends the meetings of the Salvation Army, and on Wed- uesday evening defended his receut action.In his last public speech to the churchmen he said he had been puzzled about the action of some of the Salvationists, and asked God for light.During the singing of a hymn the power of God, he said, descended and he fell first on his knees and then on bis face on the floor of the barracks, He remained thus in au ecstacy of devotion.He communed with God, and seemed to hear as plainly as if spoken to by human voice, \u2018My child, all is

Robinson delivered an eloquent speech and assured the meeting of his hearty co-operation to make the affair a grand success.A programme was sketched and committee appointed to take charge of the arrangements.Ye was decided toask the co-operation of Kingston and other cities.Ou Nov.6th a cabman drove to Dr.Fowler's surgery, Kingston, a man weak and a great sufferer from a sore leg.He received admission to the General Hospital, where he continued to sink, and on Sunday, 18th, he died.He had given his name as Patrick Gardner to the steward of the hospital, and residence Smith's Falls, He was considered a pauper without funds or means, and the Medical College authorities made application for the body for anatomical purposes.A week ago, while delirious, he was heard talking about deeds and money, atd in à donsciQus moment was asked if he possessed such things; he said no, that all he had in the world was $3 50, and of this amount he handed Mr Butner $5 to help to pay for the trouble and expense which his case had caused.On Monday a discovery was made.Between him and the sheet was found a little bundle, and the handkerchief being opened its contents were seen to contain a deposit receipt for $1,680 and money of various denominations, and a note of hand for $148 more.This discovery altered the arrangements as to the disposition of the body.The charges against the deceased were taken out of the fund, the remains buried, and friends advertised for, Later enquiry leads to the belief that the deceased has friends not only in the vicinity of Smith\u2019s Falls but in Kingston.He was over 60 years of age and a great miser.Business circles were surprised last week to learn of the embarassment of the Quebec lumber firmof John Sharples, Son & Co.one of the oldest and most highly

inaugurated at sunrise by a salute of 21 guns from the United States frigate \u201cTrenton.\u201d The salute was taken up by steamships, steamboats and tugs in the harbor, the church and factory bells took up the refrain and the chimes of Trinity played the \u201cOld Hundred.\u201d Flags, bannersand shields, were conspicuous from every window aud balcony.The ceremonies attending the unveiling of

head, and the drover failing to sell it to any of the butchers traded it away to a pedler for a watch valued at 85.The pedler afterwards sold the ox to a butcher of St Henri, who was about to take it away to baslaughtered at his private! slaughter-hoyse when the Assistant Clerk of the market, Mr Lawlor, interfered, and would not let the diseased ox be removed from the market until word was sent to Mr Radford, the Health Inspector.In a short time Mr Radford arrived, accompanied by two veterinary surgeons, and after a careful external examioation the doctors said that they could not state positively whether or not the cancerous tumor had rendered the balance of the carcase wholly unfit for human food, and it was finally decided to allow the butcher to remove the animal to his slaughter-house in St Henri and have it at once killed.It was killed in the presence of Professors McEachran and Oswald, who, after making a thorough examination of the meat, decided that there were

bathing-places were inning to grow empty.\u2018To ibe ore bog the doctor which % to be recommended as à far more majestic pre- ecription than that of merely breathing sea-air ; and my niece, who had come to my help, was evidently much impressed, and respected the ailments which required so erudite a remedy far more than she had done before.She was a widow, with three young children, and was glad of the opportunity to give her two little girls a change to the lovely spot in Wales which was chosen as our destination.There were glorious views of blue mountain ranges, and stretches of green and purple sea with endless varieties of color, for us, the elders; seaweeds and pebbles, and plenty of shipping to delight the young ones ; and drives for us all, as began gradually to improve, up into mountain glens and green lanes, where the hawthorn berries were as red as the fuchsias in the cot- pr gardens.Even a \u2018Pass\u2019 was not quite out teach of the strong one.Iv: the ol time passed ve easantly ; the place thinned every day, but this was no grief to us.We had a great many acquaintances, however, of one kind and another ; for the youngest of my niece's children, aged eight, was a young person of a most social turn of mind.She knew © dog and cat by its name in all the lodg- ing-houses near.The old washerwoman who spread her clothes on the beach to air, and fastened them down with stones, was her particular friend.\u2018I can help to pin them tight for her, you know.We knew all about the milkwo- man\u2019s little girl thru her,and the mother of the donkey chair driver, demoralized as usual by the shiftin, population of a watering-place.\u2018A bad little chap, said his unprejudiced parent.We had gone on very happily for three weeks, when my niece heard suddenly that her only boy was ill with scarlatina at school.Scarlatina means scarlet fever in an anxious mother's ears, and she was of course longing to be off.I was so much better that I could not think of keeping her.She offered to leave the little girls, but she wanted the nurse with her, for the sake of the invalid\u2014I saw that she distrusted me and my old maid, and would have been haunted by a perennial nightmare of Janet carried off by the tide when \u2018dabbling,\u2019 and \u2018catching her death of cold\u2019 in the Autumn wind.I would not hear of anybody's staying for my sake, and they were all off next day\u2014 Janet, with a child's love of change, almost as glad to go away as she bad been to come to the \u2018You'll be after us very soon, dear; cried my niece, rather uneasily, as she looked her last out of the fly at me standing by the wicket-gate a little disconsolately.It was with rather a pang that I saw them depart.I had \u2018assumed a courage which I did not quite possess for being left alone, so far from everybody I had ever known.I even tried to get a reprieve from the hard-hearted doctor, who was, however, inexorable as to the number of the necessary doses of iodine.I was still far from strong, the October weather was beau- .tifal, and there was really no excuse for not lasting out till the end of the \u2018ours The tray was brought in by my landlady ; sho was a pleasant, sweet-tempered looking woman, with a faded air of gentility about her She sighed as.she put down my tea and told me that the little maid-of-all-work was gone home after her hard Summer, and that my old maid had just hurt ber foot getting over a stone e.\u2018Father's gone to fetch my daughter home to stay ther now, and they won't be back to-night,\u201d she said in a sort of sad, trailing tone.It was evident that, for some reason or other, she wanted sympathy, so I uttered some commonplaces about her pleasure in having her child home again, after a long absence, I understood, and so forth.She was evidently very nervous about something.\u2018Things were very dificrent at home to what Cbarlia had been used to lately.Life was very contrairy, and a great deal to put up with, and now she'd perhaps be hurt against them all, she was afraid.They'd spent all they could for her, and now she was not hardly sure.® * * Shall I bring candles, ma'am ?she broke off suddenly.\u201cNo! said I ; \u2018sit down by the fire and tell me all about it, if you don\u2019t mind telling.\u2019 And then the poor soul sat down in the most * uncomfortable chair she could find, in spite of my remonstrances, and began to pour out her bles in the dusk, which is always favorable to confidences.I only answered at intervals: \u2018Dear, dear! How sad! No, really! Yes, indeed are many people to whom it is the greatest relief to talk on interruptedly for hours, and to whom it is the truest kindness to listen, in intelligent silence, for as long a time 88 you can spare.\u2019 is always something pathetic in a human history, and it was a comfort to her to in that she had never thought to keep i and bow she was the daughter of a man with some small Government appointment ina Crown colony, She had evidently been both pretty and pleasing in her time.A Queen's ship touched at the , and one of the warrant officers had woed End won her.The Warspite was only to be tire a month to refit \u2014ten days to make acquaintance ; ten days to ied life, and © was a gopd man, and - #6 was clear that she bad never regretted her shoice\u2014she bad joined him at different stations, Sat her many babies had never fidurished, and one the other, til! at length the Charlis was born ; soon after which busband had been wounded, and had re- on the smallest of pensions, eked out by ys tight, with them, she.said, t aod provisions all went up, and pensions kept down, and so th to let their spare rooms.\u2019 , and I know ih Ti H I Ë F \u20ac É 2 Fi \u2014and she was very clever, and made poetry aud such beautiful wax flowers and was very fond of Charlia ?Bad pootry and wax flowers; two of the greatest of abominations in my eyes! Alto- ther Mise Amelia did not sound to me at all ike an ideal instructor of youth, \u2018And Charlia had profited so much\u2014and her music, and her work, and the use of the globes, and the velvet painting.\u2018Why did you call her Charlia 7\u2019 interrupted I, a little weary of this enumeration of accomplishments.\u2018We'd lost so many little ones, and father did want a boy so much ; and his Captain's name was Charles\u2019 The reasons were not all ve relevant, but they did quite as well as better oues.\u2018And why have not you had her back before, when you wanted help so much all this Summer ?\u2019 said I.\u2018Oh! this isn't fit work for her,\u2019 said the poor mother.\u2018Only now 1 really don\u2019t know whether it wouldn't have been best if we'd had her here at home with us; but her aunt and uncle\u2014he's a rich ship-owner down at the port, and got no end of trade; and they've no children, and they're so fond of Charlia; and always wanting to have her with them, and her singing and all ; and she's a good girl, that she is, poor child\u2014 for all.* * *' And she launched out again in her child\u2019s praises, before the end of which there was a call for her by the washerwoman, and evidently I had not yet got at the trouble, The next day Charlia arrived.I had felt a great prejudice against her for thus leaving all the burden of life upon her poor mother, while she amused herself with aunts and uncles, and beadwork, and music, and \u2018globes.\u2018She must be a selfish young puss,\u2019 I had decided in my own mind.But there was no trace of this in the girl's looks and ways when I saw her.She was grave and gentle, and very obliging; and had run up and down stairs a dozen times for me before she had been many hours in the house.She was tall and slight, with a pale complexion and dark hair, and & dreamy look in her very dark-brown .eyes, which scemed to be looking at something far away beyond you.She took a great fancy for me, and she looked so unhappy that it went to my heart\u2014eighteen ought to look bright, or at least hopeful; and she seemed thoroughly dispirited.Her education had clearly not fitted her for her home life, poor child.Her trouble soon came out.She had fallen in love with the Captain of a merchant vessel belonging to her uncle, the ship-owner, which had been coming and going for about a year to and from the small port where she had been staying.\u2018He's a wild young chap, I'm afraid,\u201d her mother told me next day; we hear no good of him, tho I can\u2019t quite say it's very bad, she added, poor woman, wistfully ; evidently torn in pieces by her desire to be just to both father and child.\u2018Father's been making no end of inquiries,\u2019 she sighed, \u2018and doesn\u2019t like what he hears ; and he's fetched her home to be out of Capt Robert's way ; and he's settled she shan't have anything to do with him.And he told a bit of bis mind, he says, tu his sister, for letting things 89 80 for Charlia, with one who hasn't the fear of the Lord before his eyes.\u2019 : The old man was a strong Calvinistic Methodist, like 80 many of the Welsh, and an earnestly religious man, to whom all lightness was an abomination, \u2018Evan\u2019s as good a man and as loving a father as can be, but he won't see ber soul lost by consorting with godless men,\u2019 sighed the poor woman ; \u2018but, as I tell Charlia, surely if the man cares for her, as he says he does, he'll take up; and then her father would see, perhaps.There's not mueh barm in him, I daresay.\u201d She wandered from side to side in Jer judgment as her mind reverted to the contradictory arguments of her two beloved ones.\u2018They say he\u2019s a loose hand, and he's such a way with him he can wind folk round his finger, and that's not a safe one to deal with if he hasn't got much of a conscience along with it.\u2018Have you ever seen him yourself ?said I, anxiously, wishing to get, if possible, some direct evidence.\u2018Yes ! he came in one evening when I was with the Pritchards, and we were having tea.He's a personable young fellow; and he stood about a bit and joked; and wouldn't Charlia sing for a fair wind for him, he said ; she that would wile the birds off the boughs.They told father he couldn't take bis ears off of her when she sung, he thought so much of her\u2014it's erhaps a year back it begun, I believe! But Ber father says she musn\u2019t think any more about it, the mother ended, bracing herself up.With his strict ideas of naval discipline, where to command is to receive silent and implicit obedience at whatever cost, it seemed to me that he expected poor Charlia to cut off her past life at bis word, like the branch of a tree, and to feel nothing more in the matter\u2014not in the least calculating how much she would suf- fer\u2014and that her previous training had not in the least prepared her for this.Poor Charlia ! Anyhow, the affair had taker sad hold of her dreamy imagination.When I came into the little sitting-room the next morning, where she was, by way of dusting, she was standing with the cloth in her hand, quite lost.She started when she saw me and went on with her work, half wailing a sad old Welsh lament upon\u2018the \u2018Massacre at Rhydddian } day or two after, at dosting time, befo breakfast,I found her in my little bow window, which commanded the best view of the sea in the house.She was looking out at a brigantine, trim and smart, which swung slowly past with the tide, not far from the shore, while \u20ac man on board waved his cap once or twicé.Au the turned, her face and eyes shone with\u201d light which almost startled me.So that's Capt Roberts\u2019 ship, Charlia, is it ?I said gently, putting my hand on her shoulder.he turned away with a blush.\u2018Shall J ever see her dressed for me with a garland, like that one we saw yesterday ?she whispered almost to herself \u2018There had been & ship in the little port the day before, aderned and streamers, anda arland at the , in hener of the nsmerrage.i \u2018I believe if he really cares for you, and is might come to think dif ; but if.he n't what he owpit'to you ought not to think of him, Charlis,\u2019 eaid I, * Hiow'of bi, re- \u2018He only just E ! i E does what other young men do,\u2019 (she was evidently quoting from a text) \u2018and he\u2019s ever so much better than they are.He's a gallant fellow, he is, and out and out the best master mariner going; and so mnch thought of by uncle and all down there; and once he helped to man the life-boat\u2014coxswain, they said\u2014 when one of the sailors wouldn\u2019t go.How dare they say such things to father about him ?And for the minister, too, who scarcely knows him It seemed to me as if the excessive contrast between the two had been a great bond of attraction; the daring, restless, pleasure-lovin man of action had a charm for her concent postic nature, cultivated all on the wrong side, and probably she had interested him much in the same way.\u2018Dear ! your father and mother love you so that if he goes on well they'd be sure to consent.If he's patient and constant to you, I added.Her face fell, and she turned away suddenly.Was it a doubt whether the gallant and gay Captain Roberts would be patient and constant to her?altho she would have suffered any torture rather than confess tho feeling even to herself.I must say that I doubted more about the man at that moment than from anything her mother had told me; and it was with a real pang that T said, as she went toward the door: \u2018Mind, dear, you've no right to wreck your life.God gave it you to do better with than that, even if it did not break your parents\u2019 hearts along with your own.If Capt Roberts is not good, you ought to try to give him up.\u2019 \u2018I might help him to do right\u2014he told me so,\u2019 she said very softly and humbly.\u2018And suppose he only helped you to do wrong ?it is too great a burden fur a woman's shoulders, even if it were laid upon you, Charlia, and nobody has a right to choose it for them- scives.He is ten years older than you are; didn\u2019t you tell me so?\u2014and you are sucha young girl to think of guiding another.\u2018But I have a duty to him now, surely,\u2019 she said in a still lower voice.\u2018If you come to weighing incompatible duties, dear, must not the lifelong one to your own two parents come at least first ?She did pot reply, but stood outside the door for a moment irresolute, before she closed it.Things went on very quietly in the house after this.I used to find exquisite little nosegays on my table\u2014the flowers were beginning to fade, it is true, but after one or two hints as to colors and arrangement, and the sight of the berries and leaves she saw me bring in\u2014bits of red Virginia creeper glowing among yellowing maple and brown beech, or bunches of fern and moss, seemed to grow of themselves in my room.The wax-flower epoch had clearly vanished; there was a natural refinement about her which only wanted a word to develop.She did her duty by her mother with all her might, fetched and carried, and sewed and mended indefatigably and patiently, and was very tender to her old father when he came home at night.He was never weary of listening to her voice, and I could hear her singing to him half the evening.In general he asked for his beloved hymn tunes, but also very often for the old Welsh airs which I, too, had learned to love: \u2018The Rising of the Lark \u2018The Valley of the Folding of &he Lambs, \u2018Maid Moggan, many of which I found that the \u2018Sasneg had cribbed without acknowledgment of their origin and had set te ugly English words, \u2018Cease your funning,\u201d \u2018Poor Mary Anne; &c.The most cheerful of them sounded sad, however, I thought, as she sang them : there was a strange pathos in her voice, as if it carried with it the cchoes of the old bistorical sadnesses as well as her own, which made me thrill.T used to open my door to hear her, and she would sometimes come and sing to me ; I saw a great deal of her by snatches ; she cared for all that I was doing and all that I was reading, which was not very much, tho my niece had sent me down a great parcel of books, the circulating library of the place possessing.nothing but novels.My solitary rambles and the sitting on the beach in the open air for hours were very tiring, and I came in generally too much exhausted to do more than lie:on the horse-bair sofa with a book of travels, Besides which, the period for much reading for nfost of us is not when we have all our time to ourselves, and \u2018nothing else to do,\u2019 as is supposed, but when one is 8% least moderately busy for other eople.P Here was not very much perhaps in Charlia\u2019s exttefne desire to know more about \u2018forelgn arts and languages \u2014Capt Roberts pfbbably been, or might have to go, abroad ; but she had'dn gfpetite for better things, Bnd she was so intétested in all which we did together that I was quite afraid of keeping her from her other work.She was left wonderfully free, however, as to her time and het doings, by her loving mother, who would have made up for the one thing denied to Chbarlia by every tender indulgence that she could lavish upon her, while her father interfered with her liberty only on this one to him necessary point of discipline.Charlia\u2019s moods varied extremely ; sha had asked me to help her in her French, which, like that of Chaucer's prioress, was \u2018after the scole of Stratford atte bowe, For Frenche of Paris was to hire unknown,\u2019 but sometimes she could hardly keep up her attention to what we were doing for more than a moment.Occasionally she looked so excited and restless that I wondered her parents were not more uneasy ; probably, however, she controlled herself more when with them than alone with me.I had tabooed all talk about Capt Roberts ; it seemed to be worse than useless ; but, to do her justice, she did not seem to wish to enter much on the subject ; she felt it too deeply.t was very near the end of my time whet one morning the sun shone out most glorionsly, the whole earth seemed to glow.A pale blue haze hung over the distant mountain headlands, which dipped down into the sea with great scarped cliffs; the nearer hills seemed an intricate network of still purplish heather, the yellow gorse, and the brown fern, the was \u2018shot\u2019 with green and lilac hues, the white gulls hovered above, and vessels of every size and variety of rig, and of white and brown mails, came stealing ott ronnd points and into distant little ports All was calm and peaceful and exquisitely lovely in its stillness.Charlia carried my camp-stool and a book, and settled bs, |me in & sunny corner; she stayed with me for some time hile we ak the passing vessels, and undertosk my eda us to the characteristics of smacks, fits, cutters, backs, aad costing loggers, and «: LJ scientifieally the difference between brig and a brigantine.I thought her sadder than ever, poor child, perhaps with their associations, and determined to see Mr Davies that night when he came home, and to ask him if nothing could be done to help her.In the afternoon I strolled out again alone, and further than usual from the town, in the excitement of my last enjoyment of such a beautiful nature.At last I found a sheltered corner under a rocky bank, where the stunted old oak and ivy and fern made a pleasant, warm nook, into which the sun shone almost hotly.It might have been Summer but for the color of the leaves, and that peculiar, still feeling, The harmony In automo and the lustre in the sky, Which through the Summer is not beard or seen, As if it could not be, as if it had not been\u2014 Shelley's lines went running on in my head.I had a book with me, but the world was far too fair to look at anything but the exquisite pictures before my eyes.Suddenly there wasa rustling above my head, and a man swung himself down the almost perpendicular bank by the branches of a tree; it was too steep for him to climb down.He must have got over the wall from the road above, which was in a shelf in the hill.As he set foot on the beach he turned in the direction of the town, and I saw him quite distinctly; he was a tall handsome fellow, with a bright, half-careless, half-daring look, and a merry gleam in his dark eyes, for a moment, I thought at his success so far in whatever he was intent upon.1 do not know whether he saw me or not, but he was not a man likely to care much either way; I was onlya \u2018tourist,\u2019 a \u2018visitor,\u2019 a thing not much regarded in those parts.Presently he turned again and walked slowly round the next point of the wooded bank, which jutted out into the narrow beach.The way led in fact, nowhere, for, further on, the rocks came quite down into the sea; he by no tneans looked like a man given to solitary meditations, and my curiosity was roused.In a few minutes there was a quiet, quick step on the shingle close to me, and Chatlia appeared from the side of the town.She passed close to me without seeing me, walked straight before her, looking neither right nor left, passed the same point behind which I had seen the man disappear.It was very clear who he was.1 was sadly puzzled to know what to do.Would it be any use to interfere at such a moment ?Had I a right to do so?While I was deliberating, however, Charlia appeared once more round the point and alone; the man had probably gone up the bank as he had come down.They could not have been more than a quarter of an hour together, As she came back fronting my nook, looking very pale and resolute, [got up\u2014in her absorbed state, I doubt whether otherwise she would have noticed me at all.She colored up like fire; not the beautiful blush of a girl, but the painful outward effect of some vehement emotion.\u2018Charlia, I said, \u2018how can you deceive those good people, who trust you so entirely ?Dear, you owe them something better, surely for all these years of affection.I should not have thought you would meet Captain Roberts underhand ?She fired up for a moment, and then burst in- top flood of most bitter tears, and wrung her hahds passionately, but said nothing.\u2018You must tell them where you have been, Charlia I said sadly, as we paced slowly on, \u2018or I must do it.\u2019 She turned on me like a wild animal, and then broke down again, sobbing pitifully as she said, \u2018Do you say it; do you say it.\u2019 \u2018You must be there then, and promise them that you will never do it again.I cannot satisfy them,\u2019 said I, at my wits end.\u2018Promise I will not do this again?she moaned, in a strange low questioning tone, almost inaudible.\u2018I cannot undertake this for you, repeated I.We came out on the open beach and then on the road, and walked home side by side without uttering another word.I went straight into the body of the house.My own courage was beginning to fail at facing the stern old father and the loving mother with the story, but I thought I might help poor Char- lia in what seemed her hard strife with herseif.\u2018Mr.Davies, I said, in rather a trembling voice, \u2018Charlia has been meeting Captain Roberts under thecliffs.She is very sorry, and\u2014 I could go no further, for the old man's outbreak of anger was terrible to see.Ho came of a hot-tempered race, passionate when roused, and the storm of violent words, in what was to mo a foreign language, quite frightened me, Charlia stood by perfectly still and silent and unmoved, though she was as pale as death, I am not sure that she even heard the words; she was simply bracing herself up to endure, Mrs.Davies entreated me in a low voice to leave the room\u2014she was very proud of her husband, and could not bear that should ses him \u2018out of himself I was very wretched, and stood about with my door open, till in a few minutes Char- lia rushed past me up to her room.\u2018Is there nothing can be done?I whispered to her mother, who came to the foot of the stairs looking after her.\u2018If Mr Davies could ive her hopes for the future, supposing Captain oberts is steady ; if he could but let her have something to look forward to! She shook her head sadly.\u2018Father's ome who is so set if once he\u2019s made up his mind.But I must try later on,\u2019 said she, sighing.There was no singing that night, and as soon as work was done the poor girl disppeared into her own cell.The next day was a busy one to me.The only acquaintance I had in those parts had asked me to pay them a visit wHen left the place.I was fo start next day} drive across the county half the way, and be met by their horses.Ît was a gloomy, dismal tforning, with showers of cold rain at intervals\u2014the brief Eté de St Martin was clearly over, and it was quite time to be gone.The sky was grey, the sen was grey, the mountains weré blotted as with a vail, exept where a spectral outline ap- d occasionally high up, as if among the clouds.The little ships, passing and at anchor, all loomed black through the mist\u2014tlie hulls, the rigging, the sails, which looked so bright in the sunshine, all now took the same funeral hue in the grey Autumn weather.All the final bits of business\u2014the packing, the paying of small bills, which cannot be persuaded to come in till the last moment, the tiresome odds and ends which take so guch time\u2014oocu pied me all day.I bad to go into town once or twice, and could not help feeling to what a forlorn winter I was leaving peor Goats, and began to devise plans of sending for her later to join me, and give some sort of diversion to her thoughts.She had never been near me all the morning, although twice I had sent to ask whether she could not come up.Once she was \u2018just going out on an errand, and another time she just \u2018had her gown off, and altogether I saw that she intended to avoid me I had done my best, for the poor girl as far as I knew how, and I had cared for her very much, which was more, and her evident feeling against me grieved me sorely.Tt was growing dusk\u2014I sent down my letters for the post, and I heard Charlia\u2019s voice downstairs say that she would take them to the office herself.Presently I saw her with a shawl over her brown hat pass towards the town.It was quite dark, and a couple of hours perhaps after this, when I heard a bustle in the house, and Mrs Davies came hurriedly in to ask mo whether I had seen or heard anything of Charlia.\u2018She had not been home since she went to the post, she said miserably.Her father was evidently beginning to be alarmed as to the possible consequences of the outbreak of the night before, and was going out to inquire about her; and then she looked into my face piteously for comfort and counsel.It all flashed upon me\u2014the quiet little bay open to the sea and the ship, where there were half a dozen places from which she could be taken up in its boat\u2014the meeting of the two, when ah probably had been arranged.\u2018Had we not better look into her room first?said I.She called her husband, and we all three went into the little upper chamber which was called Charlia\u2019s, and which they had taken great pains to make nice \u2014the neat white dimity hanging to the bead\u2014the hanging book-case, the pretty tables, all which her father had put up himself; pathetic evidences of their care and love for her in every direction.I knew the room well, for our two little girls had slept there, the house having been filled to overflowing during their stay.What a contrast to the poor heart-sick inmate who had just left it! With a sort of dull pang I remembered our Janet's vehement longing to see and know Charlia.There were some signs of packing, though all was very neat in the room, We opened the drawers; all were empty; but in one lay a letter, directed to her mother.By this time, however, her eyes, and those of her husband, were so blinded with tears, that she put it into my hands to read.\u2018Dear Father and Mother: When this gets to you I shall be far away over the sea.Don\u2019t search for me\u2014I shall be beyond reach, Don't be too angry, dears, or think too ill of me; I couldn't help it.I had promised him so faithfully, and sworn it, too, on a broken ring I've got round my neck.You shall hear as soon as we are married where we are.I hope we are going to Scotland.They say it will be done quickest there.Dears, I am sure you may trust him, ### \u2018And that\u2019s just what I never have done and uever shall do,\u2019 cried the father savagely, striking his clenched fist on the chest of drawers near which he stood.The blow was so violent that it nearly broke the top, and must have hurt even his hard hand.\u2018That isn\u2019t all, surely ?' enquired the mother eagerly.; , \u2018And now, dears, forgive me if you can\u2014you will love me still, I know that, for as angry as you are.I couldn\u2019t help it\u2014I couldn't help it, indeed! and I am sure he\u2019s a good man! God bless you my own dears.\u2019 The letter sounded almost like a despairing ery, and the poor mother sank down on a chair and sobbed as if her heart would break, while I read a little postscript, nearly illegible, where the great tears had fallen; how they were \u2018to thank the dear kind lady and say how badly it made me fecl not to go to her when she sent for me; it seemed so ungrateful, but I couldn't go or I'know I should have spoken.\u2019 Oh, if she had! but it probably would have been useless.We looked round the room once again before we left it.There was an old fashioned sentimental novel left on the book-shelves, All for Love, with a pirate for hero and lover; \u2018Voices of the Heart, by M.Jones, second edition, a great poet, whose name I was so ignorant as never to have heard of \u2014the passionate passages all underlined and scored; Dew-drops of the Affections., \u2018from her tender friend and schoolfellow, Elenora M.Dobbs; some sea-songs, and a smart Bible, evidently not much used.\u2018But she\u2019s taken her old Bible, that was once mine,\u201d said her mother eagerly; \u2018she couldn't mean any harm and take that with her?hat could I say, but that I was quite sure that she \u2018meant no harm.\u2019 \u2018I can\u2019t think how she sent off her clothes, went on Mrs Davies, anxiously; but there had been no real difficulty in this: it was known that I was going to leave, and there was nothing remarkable in packages being sent away from the house.We found afterwards that Charlia had stopped a friendly cart, and brought outa box directed to her aunt, to be left at the little inn near the landing-stage two miles down, \u2018to be called for.\u201d Probably the Northern Star had by this time picked it up.I was off early the next morning.I would have waited a day or so, to try and comfort m poor hostess, who, as an Englishwoman, felt felt herself sometimes rather lonely, and somewhat as if in a foreign country, but I could not break my engagement, and went off low and dispirited.\u2018Write and tell me as soon as you hear\u2014weo must hope for the best for her, and that you'll have good news soon,\u2019 said I, sadly, as we got into the fly.It was & most disagreeable journey\u2014the wind had been rising fast the whole night; the rain swept it by in fine drifts; the mountains were Somplotely blotted out by the veil of mist; we should have seen as much of them in Hyde Park.It was painful to me to expose other people's horses in such weather for my service.was overdone when we arrived, and kind as my hosts were, it was difficult to me to rally, as I thought of poor Charlia, The wind went on rising all day, and though the house was not on the\u2019coast, we could hear it all through the evening, blowing great guns.At eight it increased to a gale; my room was to wirflward, nnd it was impossible to sleep.The window seemed at every moment about to be driven in; the wind roared in the chimney, and howled and wailed and screeched in an a pt unearthly way, 1 seemed to hear voices ing to me in agony if I dropped into a doze for à t\u2014the house golte rocked \u2014the rain beat torrwnts, and sobbed and cried against ze the casements, as if entreating to be taken in.I thought of all that must be going on upon the sea ns! lay\u2014the vemels driven hither and thither like chafl, and my poor Charlis with hee fate as dark and troubled as the ni 1 was thankful when daybreak came and the dreadful night was over-it seemed better at least for any one to die in the light, .When I came down stairs next morning, \u2018We shall have some terrible stories to-day of vessels ashore,\u2019 said my hostess anxiously.\u20181 don\u2019t think I ever remember a worse storm, and this is a frightful coast to be lost on,\u2019 said my host.\u2018There was & poor girl at sea last night in à little merchant vessel whom I am much interested in\u2019 said I, sadly.\u2018Heaven help her, replied he solemnly.In the course of the day flying rumors of disasters came in from all sides-no one seemed quite to know how or from where-as such rumors always do.Here a ship had been alto- ether wrecked, and half the crew had gone down with her; there another had gone ashore, but the men were all safe.The worst news was from the nearest port, where a vessel had parted from her anchor and had drifted down upon another, which lost hers also, and the two entangled together had broken up on the rocks, and every soul on board both had been drowned.Later came more details.One was a brigantine, the Northern Star, which had taken refuge in the port, it was said, as the night came on.The body of a young woman had been washed up with those of some of the sailors.\u2018Probably she was the Captain's wife, said my hostess.I was silent ~the port was not on the road to Scotland\u2014but in such a gale perhaps the Northern Star could not choose her own way.It was not for poor Charlia\u2019s death that I grieved\u2014 what could the \u2018fitful fever\u2019 she had made of life give her even at the best, but sorrow and remorse in such circumstances?The tempest had ended her perplexities; she was in more merciful and loving hands than ours where she was now gone.But what a sad fate, when such a death was almost a relief! The oor parents went off, as soon as the rumor reached them, to identify the body, and give it decent burial, and I saw them once again when they rcached home after their terrible journey.But such things are not of those which can bear the telling.CENTRAL CASH STORE \u2014 BY \u2014 ANGUS M°NAUGHTON.MY FURS ARE SELLING WELL (NO WONDER.)
