and to the caution exercised in that way is doubtless to a large extent to be as cribed the fact, that the CANADA LIFE has never contested a clatm.CARE IN INVESTMENTS OF FUNDS.Investments of the Company's funds are only made with the full knowledge and concurrence o the Board of Directors, and the fact that upon no investment made for over 17 years past has any loss of principal or interest occurred, is evidence of tho care and judgment exercised in this branch of the Company\u2019s business.CUSTODY OF SECURITIES.The convertible securities of the Company ars all in the joint cuetody of a Director and of the principal executive officer, to weither of whom singly sre they accessible, and they as well as every other security of the Company are produced to and examined in detail each year by a committee of Directors, as well as by the Auditor, noon occasions altogether separate and independent of each other.EXAMINATION OF ACCOUNTS AND SECURITIES.Accounts of receipts and payments of the Com- \u2018pany are each week placed before the Directors, as well as » balance sheet of its affaira each month, And s1l the accounts and books arc rarefully ez- av ined and investigated each quarter by the Auditor.In Addition to that, full statements of the Comvany\u2019s receipts and payments, and of its assets and liabilities, are annually returned to the Government, QUINQUENNIAL INVESTIGATION OF WHOLE AFFAIRS.At the Quinquennial Investigations which are made into the whole affairs of the Company, every policy is separately valued by an Actuary specially selected tor that duty by the Directors because of his high professional eminence, skill, and character, and who is altogether unconn -cted with and independent of the Company or its officers.Tables of Rates for the vartous systems of Life Assurance, and every information, may be had upon apulication to A.G.RAMSAY, R.HILLS, Managing Director, Secretary.Or to General Agent for Province of Quebec, R.POWNALL, CANADA LIFE BUILDING, 182 ST.JAMES STREET, MONTREAL, 57 end HOW IT WORKS.H ORE ¢¢ One Life Insurance Company is as goud a8 an- pther,\u201d some people think.Others know better to their cost.A Montreal gentleman who hag had two Policies in the Ætua, was induced by the \u2018\u201c Build up Home Institutions\u2019 plea of the Agent of a Canadian Company, to take a non-forfeitable policy in his Com- any, and thus help him \u201ckeep the money at ome!\u201d* He accepted the Policy, and after keepina it up till non-forfeiting, inquired what amount of aid-up Policy he could have.Answer: $249.As Be had paid $379.80, he thought this a poor return, and quietly inquired how much the ÆTNA would charge, and give him in surrender of, a similar Policy.Answer: $370.16, and he would be enti- titled to a paid-up Policy of $458.00, or nearly doub'e the value for less money.He now holds his THIRD policy in the old ÆTNA.How acenntfor this?All mere local Companies, whether in Canada or California, Muine or Missouri.expend from 20 to 50 per cent of the rincome in friction, fi shting for à positiua among the rcliable Companies, which nine-tenths Of them were never born for, The old ZETNA\u2019'S expenses are but a fraction over 8 percent.It makes an immense differences to à policy-holder whether his Company spends $25 out of each $100 he deposits, or only in necessary expenses.Take a sharp look at the last annual statement of your Company, and if It is was'ing your funds like water, pay à visit to the economical office of the ÆTNA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY J.R.ALEXANDER, M.D., Crry MANAGER.Opposite the Now Post-office, Montreal.36% (CITIZENS INSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA, FIRE, GUARANTEE, LIFE, ACCIDENT, DIRECTORS : SIR HUGH ALLAN, President.ADOLPHE ROY- Vice-President.N.B.CORSE, ANDREW ALLAN HENRY LYMAR JOHN L.CASSIDY ROBERT ANDERSON.EDWARD STARK, JOHN HUTCHISON, Actuary.Manager, HEAD OFFIOK, 179 ST.JAMES STREET.179 - 221s ROYAL | NSURAN CE Cv OF ENGLAND.The subscribers beg to notify their friends and the public that they are prepared to insure in this old established and well-tried Company, Dwelling- houses and their contents orn most advantaveouns terms;

OTTAWA, March 9.\u2014The correspondence relative to the disturbance on the line of the Grand Trunk is brought down.The first communication, dated 31st December, is a requisition from Mr.Foster, Mayor of Belle- ville, to Lieut.-Col.Brown.49th Riiles, requesting thet ape company should be called cut.Next comes a copy of the order from Lient.-Col.Brown to C apt.Harrison, by which he is directed to turn out with No.1 company.Several telegrams follow, the burthen of which is that the officer in command should be guided by orders from head- anarters and hy the regnlations of active militia.Another telegram from Major Lazier is to the effect that two companies of the 15th Batallion have been ordered out.Two telegrams follow, ome signed by Col, Powell, informing Col.Worsley, the officer in command at Kingston, that Belle- ville should furnish enough men ; another from Major Williams, of Napanee, to Colonel Straubenzie, D.A.G., Kingston, stating that the Grand Trunk authorities desire the Volunteers to go to Belleville to assigt.A m in reply, sigued by Lt.- Col, Worsley, Informs the Mayor that if the municipality of Napanee will bear the expense, volunteers will be sent, but not otherwise.All these communications are dated 21st December.On the following day Lt.- Col.Worsley telegraphs to the adjutant at Ottawa, that 50 men and two officers of A Battery bave been ordered to remain in readiness, The report of Capt.Harrison, which follows, reveals the interesting fact that he had NOT EVEN ONE BALL CARTRIDGE IN STORE, and was obliged to solicit ammunition from a private source.It is pleasing to know, however, that the men turned ont with alacrity, and that the officers behaved with prudence under what appears to have been rather trying circumstances.On the 2nd January, Mr.Hickson telegraphed to Colonel Worsley to know if 50 or 60 men could be sent from Kingston to Brockville without requisition from the civil authorities, to which Lt.-Col.Worsley answers that an order from the Adjutant-General was necessary.This seems to bave brought ths correspondence to an end for a time.The disturbance at Sarnia also gave rise to a series of communications.The first is from Lt.-Col.Taylor to Col.Powell at Ottawa, informing the avthorities that the Mayor of Sarnia had sent a requisition for volunteers to protect a train at Point Edward, and that the Garrison Artillery had been ordered out.The answer from headquarters was that all lawful requisitions should be oheyed according to Sec.27 of Amended Militia Law.Other telegrams follow, but nothing of importance is contained therein, Next follows a requisition signed by the Mayor of Belleville and three other magistrates for additional forces, and telegrams, one of which is from Lt.-Col.Durie to Col.Powell, stating that he had arrived at Belleville with the ¢\u201cQueen\u2019s Own,\u201d 156 men and 14 officers, and intended to return to Toronto.The service upon which this corps were engaged at Napanee saems to have called for the exercise of coolness and judgment on the part of the officers, as the following extract from.Col.Durie\u2019s report shows: \u2014 no \u201cIn the different dispositions of the ffréb, it was found necessary to advance\u2019 with fixed: bayonets, in order to press the mob back.me bayonet wounds were given, æoge of a serions character, with the excepkjon of one man, who was seriously wounded in the groin, and who would have bled to death but for the timely assistance rendered by Dr.Thoburn, Q.O.Rifles.hve wr two casnalties in the Queen's Own.One, Private Cooper received a cut over the left eye with a stone; the other, Major Miller, a severe blow gn thr bead from a lump of ice.Qne prisoner was taken\u2014a man who was caught in the act of disabling an engine.\u201d A report from Lieut.-Colonel Otter, commätid- ing the Quéé#'s\" Own, throws light on the equipment of the volunteers, and an extract \u2018is subjoined.It is addressed to Colonel Durie : - \u201c1 would call your attention to the hardship of sending men on service, in the winter, ; WITHOCT FUR CAPS, BOOTS AND GLOVES, Had it not been for the mufflers you procured for us before leaving Toronto, many of the men would have been severely frost- bittén.Asit was, three men on the engine guard had their feet frozen, and many others their fingers.Neither is a uniform made of serge adapted for any winter parade, and certainly not upon such service as we have just performed.1 have much pleasure in testifying to the obedience, patience and zeal displayed by the officers and men under my command, from first to last ; it was simply perfection .\u201d* The report of Major Lazier is also worthy of perusal, as throwing light upon the general efficiency of the volunteer force : \u201cIn consequence of the regiment XOT BEING OUT FOR DRILL THIS YEAR, the officers did not know the whereabouts of many of their men, and although, if necessary, I have no doubt we could have turned out a full regiment in 24 or 48 hours [many of whom, of course, would have been recruits], I thought it advisable upon such an occasion, when no opportunity could be afforded for the slightest instruction, that men only should be taken who knew something of their drill.\u201d Lieut.-Col.Van Straubenzie, mm his report, regrets to observe that the 15th Battalion appear to have displayed so much unwillingness to turn out, and the majority of the men under arms appeared to have belonged tothe two companies stationed outside the town limits.The conclusion to be drawn from the whole correspondence is unquestionably that the volunteer system and the law is not equal to the emergency whenever any cause of disturbance extends over several municipalities, or, at all events, more than one military district.Canadian.Quesec, March 10.\u2014The City Council passed the following resolution in reply to the demand of the Government for payments on account of the North Shore Railway bonus :\u2014That this Council, in reply to divers letters received from the Provincial Treasurer, respectfully informs the Government that it regrets tolearn that the interest due on the 1st of January last upon the bonds already issued by the city of Quebec en account of its subscription to the capital stock of the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Railway has not been yet paid, and that this resolution be communicated to the Government, with the clause of tbe Railway Act specially referring to this subject.A new street is to be opened this year, raralle] with St.Paul street, at a cost of

has left the streets in a very bad condition.To-day the weather is bright and cold.American.New York, March 9.\u2014One hundred Jadies of the Methodist Episcopal Church of New York and New Jersey were addressed at St.Paul\u2019s Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday by President Hurst, of the Drew Theological Beminary.He gave an account o the institution\u2019s embarrassed finances, and assured them that the $40,000 endowment fund the ladies propose to raise would be a great blessing to the seminary.Several Jadies made addresses, and it was determiaed to raise the amount before the year was out.In the Board of Aldermen yesterday, the Committee on Laws reported an ordinance providing that hereafter no dog shall be allowed in any of the streets or parks of the rity unless led at the end of a string or chain pot more than ten feetin length.It autho- Tiges the Mayor to appoint two or more dog- ratohérs in each\u2019 Adsembli district, whoslmy calm! capture and impoand nil dogs running at

WEATRER.\u2014The storm of yesterday bad its funny side.H.G.V.having found his predictions throughout the winter turn out signal failures, ventured to think that the proverbial winds of March would not shew up this year, even though he (wise man!) had \u201cpredicted\u201d them So he boldly hoisted sn umbrella.His defiance of the proverb and his own prediction was, however, short-lived.His confession, published in a morning paper, carries its own comments.He says that his umbrella was first turped in: ide out and then carried off skyward.Yet H.G.V.seems happy, for he winds un with, \u201c I need say no more ; my predictions ¢ have spoken for themselves.\u2019\u201d If only he would \u201csay no more!\u201d But the trouble is he has promised to keep quiet so many times and always broken out again.Only the other day, after solemuly declaring that he would deal only with the outlines of the winters, with their ¢ attendant autumns and springs,\u201d he inflicted upon a long-suf- fering public one of the old-time batches of idle ¢ predictions.\u201d There is some talk of indicting him as a nuisance, but it is to be hoped better counsels will prevail.He is quite harmless, though an awful humbug.ST.PATRICK'S DAY.\u2014 To the Editor of the STAR: Sir, \u2014! have seen with pleasure (in the STAR) a desire of the Roman Catholics that the Irish Protestants of the city would join with them in the celebration of their National Day on the 17th instant, which will add more grandeur and pleasure to the event than has been seen on former occasions.To cause this union to have the effect intended by the former, their programme should be altered as follows: No religious emblems or banners of saints, martyrs, or patriots to be carried in the ranks, but the grand old flag or banner of Great Britain and Treland.The music for the occasion should be seleeted so as to be agreeable to \u201call denominations.The tunes to be St.Patrick\u2019s Day,\u201d ¢Red, White and Blue,\u201d \u2018 The British Grenadiers,\u201d ¢ The Canadian Boat Soug,\u201d and \u2018\u2018God Save the Queen.\u201d The badges to be worn should be selected with regard to uniformity, say Orange and \u201cGreen rosette for the officers of the various Societies, and green for all others taking -part-in tLe demonstration.Should the pgrties concerned disagree about the pro- granime, the Irish Protestants can celebrate the day with flags and music suek as I have pointed out.They know that they have the right and liberty to do so.T have made the above suggestion with the desire that a loyal and patriotic union of Irishmen will be accomplished.\u2014I remain, &c¢., J.P.\u2014Mon- treal, 10th March, 1877.A Work of Necessity and Mercy \u2014 Clothe the Naked.There is probably no way in which the pressure of the times bears more heavily on the poor than in the want of clothing, and it is a matter only too well known at our various charitable institutions that large numbers of working men are almost in a state unfit to be seen on the streets.It sometimes happens that at the General Hospital there are some clothes belonging to deceased persons to be given away, and the applications for them by young strong men who are out of work are very numerous.In this connection, the steward of the hospital, Mr.Russell, has had a good opportunity of secing the absolute nakedness of poor people, who sadly stand in need of the most necessary articles of elothing.Many are known to him to have only one shirt each, and that of the poorest description, which the wearer has had on continuously for six to eight weeks, for want of a change to get it washed.There are, no doubt, numbers of gentlemen who have old clothes which they would gladly part with if they only knew of some way of dispensing them to the deserving poor.We would just suggest to all such to forward them in bundles to Mr.Russell, at the hospital, and we have no doubt he will most willingly give them to objects of charity, without regard to religious distinction.Mr.Russell is well acquainted with the need that exists, and his well-known kindness of heart will not allow him to refuse to undertake the trouble connected with the distribution.We earnestly press this matter on our readers, as we have the best and most reliable assurances of the great need there is for such help at the present time.Special Notices.NEW SCARFS, new shirtings, &c., at Des- marteau & Bond's.\u201cTHE NEWs AND FRONTIER ADVOCATE,\" St.Johns, P.Q., has the largest circulation of any paper in this Province

York, March 9.\u2014Dr.Buckler Jones, a well.knawn physician of Baltimore, cemmiitted ruicide in that city yesterday by cutting bis throat.Dr.Jones has.been a guest at the Spingler House, in this city, since the 6th of last December.During his stay in New York those who came in contact with him obeerved that he was very eccentric in his manners, and suspicions were engendered as to his sanity.He would make certain arrangements with friends which, without apparent reason, he would annul, and form other plans with ditferent acquaintances.He was known to send as many ag thirty telegrams a day to Baltimore -and other cities, and many of these were of a contradictory character.It is believed that the cause of this aberation of intellect lay in domestic trouble.His son is in New York, and visited him frequently at his hotel.Dr.Jones was a man of considerable wealth, and is\"said to have carried not less than $10,000 in his pocket-book all the time.He left the Springler House at 5 p.m.last Sunday evening, saying that he was going home to Baltimore.Nothing more was heard from him until the news of his death by suicide reached this city by telegraph.Last year the people of Lambertville, N.J., paid $5,000 for running their town almshouse.This year they have elected George P.Wilson, the owner of a large farm, as \u201cCity Steward,\u201d and for $3,000 he engages to feed, clothe and house the paupers.He intends to utilize the able-bodied on his farm.George Snyder, an engineer on a New Jersey Central coal-trair, drove a lot of children off the cars at Elizabethport Wednesday, but they jumped on as soon as he left, filling their baskets with coal.He went into the caboose and got a shot-gun, whizh he fired into the crowd.Two boys were shot, and bad to be helped home.Their wounds are not dangerous.- City News.\u2014 It ig stated that a man named Fauteux ill-used an Indian lately at Oka by tying him with ropes, and then throwing him into a sleigh.THE UNIVERSITY LITERARY SOCIETY.\u2014 The ueual weekly meeting of the University Literary Society was held last evening, Mr, F.J.Keller, president, in the chair.There was a large attendance of members, The question discussed was : \u2018Should Churches be exempt fron: taxation \u201d\u201d The affirmative side of the question was taken by Messrs.DeSalaberry, Foran and Hu:chinson, laud the negative by Messrs.MacMasterand McLean.The argument advanced by the affirnative party was that the Church, being the house of God, altogether different from other buildings, and that the taxation of churches would tend to place an obstacle in the way of church architecture, as well as prevent the erection of elegant and costly churches, which are the pride of Montreal.For the negafive it was held that outside architecture was only a secondary matter, and that churches requiring the protection of the Corporation should not be exempt while poor people were taxed.Upon the question being put to the vote it was decided for the negative.The Royal Canadian Insurance Company.Since the report of an interview with the President of this Company appeared in the STAR, we have been inundated with letters from all parts of Canada as well as from the United States, and harassed with personal enquiries in regard to the state of this Com- peny.We have made it our business to see many influential persons connected with the institution in various capacities, and elicited a good deal of information on the subject.The Company started originally under fairer prospects of success than probably any other in Canada.The people of the Dominion felt that they were being fleeeed by foreign companies, and that it was their duty to establish a local institution that would be a eredit to the country and mitigate the evil of extortionate premiums.The project was no sooner started than the stock was taken up as a patriotic duty.When it was established, business soon flowed in, and had it been properly managed, its entire success would have been assured.Unfortunately, it was in incapable hands, and after little more than three years\u2019 existence the shareholders find that their investients, amounting to $600,000, have been virtually swept away\u2014in fact, that they must give a small premium to get rid of their stock.It is no wonder, then, that some of the indignant shareholders should write to us to know why the directors have not acted in the same vigorous manner as the directors of the Merchants\u2019 Bank, and promptly placed a man of experience at the head of the concern, who could lift it out of the \u2018slough .of despond\u201d into which it had fallen.If, as some of our correspondents say,, the late General Manager of the Merchants\u2019 Bank, who could not be fairly blamed for the losses incurred, was removed, why have the directors of the Royal Canadian not set aside the General Munager of the Company, under whose management the Company has been a gigantic failure?We are unable to answer so pertinent a question further than that he has been, to some extent at least, removed from his former position.The shareholders will probably scon have an opportunity of pressing this question more forcibly on the directors in the event of the Bill now before Parliament passing, as it cannot be carried into effect until after a meeting of the shareholders has been held and a vote taken.There is no doubt the business of the Company up tb the December 31st, 1876, has resulted in a serious loss, as the following statement, taken {rom the Com.peny\u2019s own published returns, will show : Fire and Marine losses and- charges in 1874.8 533,032 Do Doin 1875.1,165,549 KE Do Doin 1876.veo.1,728,785 Total expenditure.$3,427,316 Unpaid losses and - other

business up to 81st December last of $207,580, and let it be remembered this is according to the accounts issued by the managers of the Com- any.Now, the question arises, where did the $80,000 bonus, which was represented to be profit, come from?This is auother question which the shareholders can ask at the first meeting.It is the general opinion of all interested in the Company, with whom we have conferred, that it requires efficient and careful management in the future to redeem the errors of the past mismanagement.\u2018Whilst this Company has been making heavy losses in the United States, English and American Companies have been making large profits.There is no doubt there has been something radically wrong in the management, and it requires a radical change to set matters afloatagain.With regard to the Company being able to meet its liabilities, we have no doubt whatever that it can do so, and the American policyholders especially need have no apprehensions, as, under the laws of the several States they must be suf- ficently secuged.It would be well for the steckholders to imitate the example of the shareholders in the Merchants\u2019 Bank, and have a conference with the directors over the interests of the company.It would no doubt result in good to all concerned.Melancholy Accident.A melancholy accident, by which an estimable young lady, of about 17 years of

returning at the proper time, her husband left his work and went to the well and there found his wife drowned.The reason assigned for the accident is that the young woman, in stooping to reach the

report the bill with amendments.The Com ittee on the Administration of Justice\u2018in Richelieu District met this morning, and continued its inve.tigation.The press was excluded.The Committee on Banking and Commerce met at 11:15 o'clock, Mr.Holton in the chair.The bill to incorporate the Union Marine Insurance Co.,of Halifax, was considered and reported with amendments.7 .The bill to authorize and provide for the winding up of the Metropolitan Bank was next considered.The bill provides for the appointmeut of three liquidating directors to wind up tl.e affairs of the bank, who are to return ail «dlls above 40 per cent.and afterwards to divide the assets equally among all the stockholders ; the directors are also to have power to make further calls on the shareholders.Senator Ferrier appeared bfore the committee on behalf of the bank and explained that the circulation out was about $15,000 ; every other liability was paid, except about $6,000 due the Government.The balance on hard would be about $49,000.Mr.Smith, of Selkirk, thought it would have been better if the bill had provided that calls shculd be made on those who had paid in 40 per cent.before any call was made on those who had paid 60 per cent.Mr.Domville said the committee should be suspicious before granting such powers as this bill would confer, when they saw men with titles to their names writing articles in the newspapers with the object of wrecking our financial institutions.\u2018They should be careful before granting extraordinary powers.Mr.Dymond thought that as the payment of all Jiabilities was provided for and the shareholders were satisfied, it was losing time to discuss this bill further.Canadian.[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE BrAR.| OTTAWA, March 10.\u2014A company with a

my God, give me strength-\u2014one moment's strength !\u201d There wus-strong mental energy in that frail creature, and the desperate cry with which she appealed to \u2018God seemed to win down life from heaven.She unclenched her hand from the railing, paused an instant, casting her eyes first to the basement entrance and then to the sunken arch guarded by the liens, and mowed an with something of firmneæ\u2014nay, even of pride, in the movement.\u2018No, not there,\u201d she said, passing the basement, and mounting the flight af st hurriedly, as one who felt her strength giving way ; \u2018I am her sister's child, and will enter here.\u201d She rang the bell and waited, struggling bravely againat her weakness, end sustzined by that moral courage which is the only true bravery of womanhood.\u201cI have done no wrong,\u201d she thought ; \u2018\u2018 why should this terror come overme ?If poverty and helplessness were sins, then I might tremble, but net now\u2014not for this\u2014 not because I have left a refuge for peor woman in her hour of greatest trial.\u201d The door opened, and a footman, in gorgeous livery, presented himself, \u201c\u2018 Mrs.Mead ?\u2014couldn\u2019t say.Better go down to the basement; that\u2019s the sort of thing for serving people and folks that come with bundles.Couldn\u2019t take it upon me to answer a single question here,\u2019he said.The young woman advanced quietly into the hall, and sat down, with the light of a tinted lantern overhead falling directly upon ler.In spite of her little strew bonnet and plaid blanket shawl, the servant discovered something in her air, and theipure loveliness of her features, that checked his rising impertinence.\u201c¢ Go tell your mistress that Mis¢ Lacy\u2014 mo, that her niece\u2014wishes to speak with her.\u201d The man paused to take a survey of her person, and went down the hall, smiling till his white teeth shone again.¢ Perhaps its a lie, and perhaps it isn\u2019t\u2014 who knows?\u201d he muttered, threading his way up the flight of stairs set aside for menial footsteps.\u2018\u2018 But won\u2019t she catch it for claiming relationship, true or not t\u2014well, I shouldn\u2019t wonder.\u201d The greatest trial that can be inflicted on an ardent nature is that of waiting, When the servant came baak, he found Catherine with s flush on her cheeks eagerly watching his appoach.\u201c\u2018 You may go up to Mrs.Mead\u2019s room,\u201d he said, moodily ; and, muttering to himself, he added, \u201cand much good it \u2018ill do The room which Catherine entered was a spacious bedchamber, fitted up in a style of grandeur which contrasted \u201cstrongly with the mournful look and modest garb of the young girl, who should have freely claimed «a welcome there.A spacious bed stood on one side, th: pillows overclouded with a light gilded canopy of grape leaves and fruit, through which the crimson drapery, that swept to the ground on each side, gleamed like flashes of the sunset through a golden cloud.The same rich crimson broke through the open\u2019 network of rosewoood that formed the foot- board and sidepieces of the bedstead ; and with this was contrasted the pure whiteness of the richly laced pillows, and a counter- -pane that seemed of quilted snow.On a crimson lounge, severely magnificent\u2014for -all this grandeur had an air of rigid coldness hanging over it\u2014sat a tall lady of fifty, or i fifty-five, perhaps, with a shight frown upon her forehead, and her keen b eyes fixed upon the door, ! TT a \u2014 x Catherine saw this, as she paused a moment in the shadow, before cntering; and : he saw, also, with a sinking Leart, that the frcwn deepened as she made her appearance, while a quick pressure of the lip added to the displeasure of that haughty face.Mrs.Mead had evidently been disturbed while completing her evening toilet, for though her purple brocade fell in precise and voluminous richness down her tall figure, her headdress of purp'e velve: and golden acorns hung upon a branch of gilded spray attached to the frame of her toilet glass, while several diamond omaments glittered upon the marble underneath, and an uudersleeve of Brussels point had evidently fallen from her hand upon the carpet, before she assumed her pre-ent imposing attitude.; « Well, Catherine,\u201d said the lady, with frigid dignity, ¢¢ you have come again, I see ; what is the trouble now ¥\u2019 \u201c] have no home\u2014I am in want!\u201d said the poor girl, in a quiet, sad voice.\u201c\u2018 You are my mother\u2019s sister\u2014sister to an angel in heaven\u2014and in her name I ask you to have pity on me !\u201d \u201cNo home!\u2014mo home! Are you not bound to Madame de Jongh, the most fashionable milliner in Regent street 1 H rw could 1, or anyone, provide for you better?You astonish me, Catherine Lacy, by these complaints \u201d \u201c Madame de Jongh gave up business almost a year ago,\u201d answered Catherine, with ® degree of gentle firmness, that imparted dignity even to her tone of supplication ; \u2018she had grown very rich with one thing and another.\u201d \u201cWell, but you were bound to her sill ; she is compelled by law to give you a home.\u201d (To be contimued.)

He understands the case, too, for he knows he | can pay his ¢licensers\u201d their moncy aud) \u2018have still greater amount to himself.He opens his house, and that in a \u201cmast retable\u201d style, and prodnceshis ¢ goo 1s.\" The demand is almest instantly created.Somehow, ten and women find out that they need that wLich they never needed before, and so need it that the three gilt halls of the pawnt-roker are seen in the village, it may be within less than a year of the opening of the liquor shop.\u2014I'ryf.Kirk.\u2018Whoever mingles much in the society of Christian peuple, not only in cities and larger towns, but in rural districts as well, and couverses freely with Christian people in relation to the great plague and curse of the land, intemperance, will soon learn that a very considerable portion of them do not regard the drinking of liguors\u2014any liquors containing slcahol\u2014as a malum in a, an evil of iteelf, Hence they do not regard the sale of liquors as something to be suppressed, even where it is clearly understood that the liquore are to be used as a drink by the healthy.Such parties may denounce liquor- shops, salons, or tippling-shopa, so as to be reckoncd, if possible, among the active friends of temperance; but, with their notions or opinions concerning alcoholic liguors, they are manifestly inconsistent in doing so.1f there be nothing positively wrong in the drinking, only when it is carried to excess, there can be nothing wrong in the selling, only when the sales are made to partics who drink to excess.A decent regard for consistency requires that such partics eliculd defend moderation in selling as well as moderation in drinking.One wuld suppose that such a dilemma would induce them at ance to review carefully the ground on which they stand, the opinions they have entertained.Let such parties step into a liquor saloon or bar-room where they are not known, and where, consequently, their presence will impose no restraint on the parties present, and see young men walk up to the bar and swallow their drink, scores of them, it may be, in the space of a single hour, and then let them ask themselves th: question whether such a course, habitually pursued, tends to good or evil.They are under solemn obligations as Christian men to consider that question.If there be danger to the young or to the middle-aged in such eonduct\u2014if, as all observation shows, a very considerable portion of those who thus indulge will thereby contract vicious amd ruinous habits and become active agents of mischief in the community\u2014then the \u2018whole thing is evil, and all who knowingly and in any measure support the system which involves the continued existence of drink-shops and tippling are violating every principle laid down in the New Testament for the government of human conduct, \u2014 National Temperance Advocate.GEMS OF THOUGHT.A felicity shat costs pain gives double content.Nothing but a good life can fit men for a better one.Money is well spent in purchasing tranquility of mind.Little sticks help better than large ones to kindle the fire, More are they that drift into evil, than deliberately steer towards it.As thrashing separates the corn from the «chaff, so does affliction purify virtue.People who like so much to talk their \u2018mind, should sometimes try to mind their talk.Politeness is not always e sign of wisdom; but the want of it always leaves room for a suspicion of folly.Hear not ill of a friend, nor speak any of an enemy.Believe not al you hear, nor! In prosperity it is the easiest of all things | to find a friend ; in adversity it is of all ; things the most difficult.Ï Ask yourself before speaking evil of any man : First\u2014Is it right?Second\u2014Is it kind?Third\u2014Ts it necessary ?A smile may be bright while the heart is sad.A rainbow is beautiful in the air, while beneath is the moaning sea.He that canxot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself ; for every man has need to be forgiven.Four things are grievously empty\u2014a head without brains, a wit without Judgment, a heart withcut honesty, amd a purse without money.Sin brought sorrow into the world ; it was that made the world a vale of teats, brought shadows of trouble upon our hearts, and so deluged the world.In order to learn, we must attend ; in order to profit by what we have learnt, we must think\u2014that is, reflect.He only thinks who reflects.Sorrow treads heavily, and leaves behind \u2018@ deep impression een when she departs ; while joy trips by with stape light as wind and scarcely leaves à trace upon our heart: of her faint footfalls.Politeness is à social passport all over the world, and good society is the best school in which it is to be learned.Neither talent, wit, ner.genius can :cencesl the powitive deformity of impoliteness.Let you be ever so pure, you cannot asso- siete with bad companions without falling into bad odour.Evil company is like tobacco smeke\u2014you cannot be long in its presence without carrying away a taint of it.In any adversity that happens to us in the world, we ought to consider that misery and - affliction are not less natural than snow and hail, storm and tempest ; and that it were | as reasonable to hope for a year without : winter, as for a life without trouble.There never wasany heart truly great and | generous that was not also tender and com- | pessionate.Itis this noble quality that \u2018 makes all men to be ofone kind ; for every ' man would be a distinct species to himself, | \u2018were there no sympathy among individuals.! It is \u2018a blessed thing for a poor man to have a contented wife; one who will not wish to live in a style beyord her husband's | income just because her next-door neighbor | does ; one who œn be happy in the love of | her husband, her home, and its beautiful ' duties, without asking the world for its smiles or its favor.The difference between good and bad intentions is this : that good intentions are so very satisfactory in themselves, that it really seems a work of supererogation to carry them\u2019 into execution; whereas evil ongs have a restlessness that can only be satisfied by action\u2014and, to the shame ot fate be it said, very many facilities always offer for their being effected.Profundity of thought is generally purchased at the expense of versatility.To be very profound, itis necessary that the intellectual eye be fixed for a long time on one continuous series of operations ; to be versatile, the mind must glance from subject to subject, and brood over mone.Profundity \u2018plunges to the depths, while versatility skims the surface of the sea of speculation\u2014while the former is going down, the latter is sporting onward on easy wing.MISCELLANEOUS.Home is the place of the highest joys ; religion should sanctify it.Home is the sphere of the deepest sorrows ; the highest consolation should assuage its griefs.Home is the Tlace of the greatest intimacy of heart with heart ; religion should sweeten it with the joy of confidence.Home diccovers all faults; religion should bless it with abundance of charity.Home is the place for impressions, for instruction and culture ; there should religion open her treasures of wisdom and pronounce her heavenly benediction.May all our readers seek and secure such a home.Every family should be supplied with a good miscellaneous paper.Such a medium of instruction has many advantages over books; first, because no book of equal capacity in quality can be offered so cheaply as a newspaper ; aud secondly, none are so interesting, because the newspaper consists of a variety measured out in proper quantities, : as to time, and being mew every week, it m- .vites to a habit of reading, and affords an ' tasy and agreeable mode of acquiring\u2019 knowledge, causing many hours te : away profitably and pleasant which would | otherwise be spent in idleness and mischief.| Besides that, it affords its readers with a good fund of general conversation.\u2018What should be done with our confirmed idlers?We have lunatic asylums, not only for the benefit of the lunatics, but for the relief of the community, and among the vagabonds and tramps we have en enormous number of men who are just as truly diseased as \u2018the maddest man at large, or at the lunatic asylum.Something must be done with them, and done at: once, if we are to have any comfort by day or safety by night; for men whoare so demoralized as to beg from choice, and lie by profession, have but to \u2018take à single #tep to land in ruffianism.!

Wherefore should there be turmoil for the few and evening hours, when all they covet is repose ?They see their shadow fall upon the grave, and need but to be at rest beneath! Youth is not leas averse from change ; but that is from exaggeration of its consequences, for all seems to the young so important, and so fatal.They are timid, because they know not what they fear ; hopeful, because they know not what they expect.Despite the gaiety of confidence they yet dread the first plunge into life\u2019s unfathomable deep.Montreal Fire Alarm Telegraph Boxes DISTRICT No.1.Box No.LOCALITY.1.Custom House (North corner.) 2.Corner St.Jean Bavtiste and 8t.Panl streets, 3.Jacques Cartier square (corner St, Paul street, 4.St.Gabriel street (Fire Station.) 5 Corner Notre Dame and St.Francois Xavier at.7.8.Corner St.Sacrament and St.Peter street, Corner Bt.Paul and McGill streets, Corner Youville and Common streets.\u20189.Corner Notre Dame and McGill streets.12.Corner Craig and Chenneville streets (Central Fire Station.) 18.Corner Craig street and St.Lambert hill.14.Corner Vitre anû Sanguinet streets.15.Corner St.Lawrence and Lavauchoticre streets.16.Corner Dorchester and St.Urbain streets, 17.Corner Bleury and Dorchester streets, 18.Beaver Hall Hiil.19.gt.Antoine street (opposite Genevieve street.) 21.Corner Branswick and Dorchester Btreets.23.8t.Catherine street (Fire Station.) 24.Corner St.Lawrence and St.Catherine Streets.25.German, near Dorchester street.26.Corner St.Catherine and St.Denis streets.27.Corer German and Ontario streets (Fire \u2018Station).28.Corner St.Lawrenoe and Bherhrooke streets, 29.Corner St.George and Sherbrooke streets.31.Corner Universtty and Sherbrooke streets.82.Corner McGill College Avenue and St.Oathe- rine stieet.B84.8t.Lawrence street, oprosite Guilbanlt\u2019 -85.Corner Pringe Arthur and Shuter streets.DISTRICT No.2.86.Corner King and Common streets.\u201837.Corner Duke and Ottawa streets, 38.Corner Dapre Lans and St.Maurice street.39.Corner.Bt.Antoine and Cathedral streots.41.Chaboîllez Square {Hire Station).42, Wallington street (Fire Station).43.Mill street (Lyman\u2019s Mills).45.Corner Wellington and McCord streets, 46.Corner Golhorne ana Ottawe streets.47.Corner St.Joseph and Mountain streets.48.Corner St.Antoine and Mountain streets.49.Corner Ft.Catherine ana Mountain stress.51.Corner Sherbrooke and Peel stweots.$2.Corner St.Antoine and Guy streets.#3.Corner Bt.Martin and Bt.Benaventurs streets.b4.Corner Bt.Joseph and Canning streeta.56.Corner Fulford and Coursol streets.#7.Corner William and Seigmeurs strerte 68.Corner St.Matthew and St.Catherine streets, 59.Grey Nunnery, Guy street.61.Redpath\u2019s Sugat Eefinery.62.St.Gabriel>s Market (Fire Station).\u201863.Grand Trunk Works (Point St.Charles.DISTRICT No.3.64.Corner Notre Dame and Bonsecours streots.65.Dalhousie Square (Fire Station).67.Corner Wolfe and St.Mary streets.68.Corner Drolet and Roy streets.69.Corner sherbrooke and St.levis street.71.St.Georges Schoolhouse, Stanley street (District No.2.) 72.Corner Craig and Visitation streets.73.Corner Cadieux and Courville streets (District 0.1.T&.Corner Dorchester and 8t.Andre streets.75.Corner Mignonne and St.Andre streets.76.Bt.James Market, Ontario street, .78.St.Patrick and Belgneurs atreet.81.Corner Robin and Visitation streets.82 Corner St.Catherine and Panet streets.\u201883.Corner Sydenham and Dorchester street 84.Corner Logan and Seaton streets.86.Crevier's Saw Mill, Ontario street.8.Corner Congregation and Wellington streets (District No.2.) 87.Carner of Forfar and Menai streets.91.Corner Craig and Gain streets (Fire Station.) 92.Adams\u2019 Tabacco Factory.98.Corner Ontario and Fullum streets.-94.Corner Berri and Dubord streets.25.New Gas Works, Hochelaga.-86.Morland, Watson & Co.\u2019s Factory.97.SBhedden\u2019s Stables, William street.PHOTOGRAPHERS.oO DESMARAIS & CO, PHOTOGRAPHERS, 18 ST, LAWRENCE MAIN STREEL Jr Photographs and Tin Types taken in latest styles.166x DRAIN PIPES, &c.PORTLAND CEMENT, ROMAN CEMENT, DRAIN PIPES, CHIMNEY VENTS, FIRE BRICKS, FIRE CLAY, CALCINED PLASTER.For sale by WILLIAM MoNALLY, 62 McGiN and 77 Grey Nun streots.ZT 3 \u2014 = AFPEAL.\u2018The United Board of Gut-Door Relicf for nitinz our suffering Protestant poor are comuelled to further toll cur sim le tule of neod.Wo ar: in debt to the amount of seven hundrel and ery dollars.Should this not be forthcoming.wo wii} have to close too 5 ee IX TERCOLONIAL RAILWA Y.WINTER ARRANGEMENT, EXPRESS PABRENGER TRAINS run DAILY (except Bundays( as follows;
