Much to Hester's surprise, her traveling companion took his place in the brougham waiting at the corner of the road.The driver bade her sit beside him on the box, and as they drove along informed her that the gentleman insice was Mr.Siles Gurdlestone\u2014Mr, Ralph, the Master's, brother ; that Mr.Ralph, who lay dangerously ill, bad sent for him, wishing to make an end to a sort of coolness which had existed between them ever since he, Mr.Ralph, was marricd to his good lady, on whom, they did say, Mr.Silas was himself, before her marriage a little sweet, Rogers (he was the driver) recollected when the master was about to be matried how there had been a power of surmise and conjecture as to how Mr.Silas would like it ; how, on the bridal morning, directly after leaving the church, he had disappeared, and how they next heard from him in some foreign country, where be said be intended to puss the remainder of his lite.Very strange indeed it was,\u2019 Rogers said, wagging his noddle, very, very strange.\u2019 Tho dullest place on earth must surely have been the Pollards.It was a bare, ugly red-brick building, having, on one side, a weedy and neglected garden, on the other, a large stagnant dyke, upon the banks of which, and inclining over the water, grew in fantastic shapes some dwarfish pol- lurds, from which the house derived its name.This dwelling had long been the property of Mrs.Gurdlestone\u2019s family ; but, since her father's death, had until lately, remained untenanted.It was with the intention of renovating it and making it his country residence that Mr.Ralph had now come down with his wife and her sister, but he falling ill immediately upon his arrival, the repairs and improvements hud been for a while suspended.You may be sure the two men-servants were dull enough here ; indeed Jeames, yawning, was a sight to see and be frightened at, in such imminent peril of falling off did the top part of that gentleman's head appear to be oa these occasions.As for Hester, her recent grief, the breaking up of a happy home, her present friendless condition \u2014ull preyed upon her mind, and, with the general melancholy of the place, combined to render her life a very sad and weary one.\u2014 Bat there was soon other cause for anxiety.Somewhow Mr.Ralph grew worse and worse, in spite of doctors and physic.Night and day his wife watched by his side; Mr.Silus, too, was unremitting in his care for and attention to the invalid, often mixing and administering his medicines to him.\u2014 One night there was a light change for the better, and Mr.Silas had persuaded Mrs.Gurdlestone to go and seek a few hour's repose whilst he took her place in the sick room.She, poor thing, fagged and jaded by long watching, with a little persuasion, consented, and then all the houshold retired to their respective chambers, except the watcher.Thus, for a while, the time pussed silently, and then there broke upon the stillness of the sleeping house aloud continuous knocking at Mrs.Gurdlestone's door.She came out, pale and anxious, in answer to the summons, and found Mr.Silas, trembling and violently excited, who cried out in a broken voice: \u2018He's gone !\u2014dead\u2014of a sudden! I thought I heard his breath stop, und drew the curtain.\u2019 The distracted woman hurried into the room.It was too true; he was indeed dead\u2014his hands twisted in the bed-clothes, his eyes, wide open, a strange look of dread und horror in his face, and quite cold ! Then the sleepers, awakened by the young widow's piercing screams, came crowding, half dressed, to tha spot, their white faces looking horrible in the flaring candle-light.The neurest doctor was summoned, and all sorts of remedies suggested\u2014but in vain\u2014\u2014 Hester, while attending her fainting mistress, stooped to pick up something lying by the dead man's bed.«What is it ?\u2019 Mr.Silas said, quietly, taking the object from her fingers.lt was but a straightened hair-pin.He pinched her slightly in pulling it away, and must have scratched himself with it, for there was a mark of blood upon her hand.CHAPTER 111.A greater gloom than ever fell upon the house after the master's death.\u2014 The servants one by one gave warning, and left.The cook promised to find Hester a place in town, and write for her; while Jeames, who had always been particular in his attentions, offered to take her to London as bis wife.He has since then gone into the public line, is the proprictor of the Lovia- than Music Hall in Radcliffe Highway, drives his own carriage; and keeps, besides his magnificent better-half and her establishment, a pretty little cottage, &c., at Brompton \u2018on the quiet.\u2019 The cook perhaps forgot her promise, or perhaps places were scarce, for she did not write; and so Hester, at last, was the only one of the London servants remaining.1t was dull, indeed! The stagnant pool und neglected garden were at any time but dreary objecta for contemplation.The awkward, ill-educated country servants afforded but indifferent companionship fur Hester, who had been brought up with no idea of going into service, or mixing with such society, and 80 grew to be very sad and silent and down-hearted.Mrs.Gurdlestone's sister (Miss -Ethel,) had permanently taken up her abode at the Pollards, and Mr.Silas still lingered to clear up certain matters of business referring to the late Mr.Ralph, although he had on several occasions fixed a day for his departure, As well ua Hester could learn from scraps of conversation up-stairs, Miss Ethel disliked him very much, and wished her sister to give him a broad hint that his company was not needed.Whatever may have been Mrs Gurdle- stone's wishes upon the subject, she was too considerate of the feelings of others, or too much wrapped up in her great grief, to be otherwise than passive, and things went on the same as usual.One night, about a month after the master's death, Hester Burgess sat alone by the fast-dying fire in the servants\u2019 hall.lt was ber duty to wait until her mistress summoned her to attend her toilet on retiring to rest; and this night she was so much later than usual, that ail the other servants: had been in Led full half an hour.The great clock upon the stairs ticked loudly, and the wind moaned and rustled among the evergreens outside the window like the stealthy whispering of thieves; ull else was still as the grave.And as Hester was sitting anxiously waiting, an overpowering sense of loneliness cume over her; and with a shiver she rose and went softly up-stairs to her mistress\u2019s room.Mr.Gurdlestone and Miss Ethel were in the former's bed-room, which was divided from the staircase by a long dark ante-chamber.\u2018The door leading into Mrs.Gurdlestone's room, and thut upon the stairs, were both ajar, and Hester noiselessly at one would have knocked at the other, had she not preceived a dark figure, with its back towards her, standing between her and the light.She stopped involuntarily, held her breath, and listened.Miss Iithel spoke: \u2018But Mary, how can you be so weak\u2014childish ?* entering \u2018What would you have me do?the other lady said complainingly.sure I do not keep him here.I wish he'd go, if he offends you.But then he has been so kind and attentive ; and he is my dear husband's brother.\u2019 *I tell you, Mary, 1 hate him! And mark my words, if he is not some day more nearly reluted to you than he is now.*Ethel ?\u2018He will, Mary, though I pray God I may not live to sce it.\u2018I'm rustling sound, had There though ene of the ladies A figure passed Hester quickly in the dark ; and before she h wis à as risen.\u2026\u2014 had time to speak or move, the bedrovin-door opened wide, and Miss Ethel came out with a light.\u201cWhat are you doing here?\u2019 she inquired, sharply.the servant stammered ; and with a scarch- ing lock Miss Ethel swept out of the room.\u2018l came to sce if I was wanted,\u2019 Mrs.Gurdlestone had always been in delicate health, and, since her husband's death, had almost entirely kept her own room, where Miss Iithel was in censtant attendanee upon her.Mr.Silus, however, frequentiyscame in to consult her upon business matters, or to chat away an hour.Now it was Miss Ithel's turn to be ill; she so unwell the day after that on which Hester had heard the reported conversation, that she was obliged to keep her bed, and the doctor who attended Mrs.Gurdlestone was called in to sce her.Mr.Silas said that case of the heart.She had been ill about three days, when the doctor calling in one evening, it came on to rain heavily, and he staid to dinner.Throughout the meal tho rain poured down in torrents, and continued so long that Mr.Adums (that was the doctor's name) consented, after much persuasion, to accept the shelter of the Pollards for the night, for he lived some miles off, and must cross a wild and open country before he reached his home.It was most fortunate he did remain.During the evening Miss Ethel was much worac, and twice he went up stairs to visit her.It was determined that the gentlemen should sit up all night and that Hester should watch with the invalid, and summon them if required.Hester took her place in an armchair by the fire with a book, baving was it was dis- a watch before ber, so that she could tell the time at which the medicines should be administered.When the cook brought up her supper on a tray, she told Hester that the gentleman were smoking and drinking in the din- ing-room.\u2018I don\u2019t think the doctor fancies there's much danger,\u2019 cook said, \u2018for he's so merry like, and has been singing a song.\u2019 *1 hope,\u201d whispered Hester, \u2018he will not drink too much.\u2019 \u2018Lor bless you, child! Here, take your supper; and here's a glass of wine Mr.Silas has sent you to give you strength.Do you mind sitting up alone *Not much.\u2018Goud night When Hester had finished her supper she mixed another dose for the sick lady, and resumed her book.Goud night.\u2019 She must been asleep for hours.\u2014 The candle had burnt low in the socket ; .a streak of daylight was stealing in between the heavy window-curtains, and the fire was out.She woke up with a start, cold and frightened.The room was very still, very still.She listened for the sleeper's breathing and heard only her own heart throbbing and a faint buzzing in her ears.To start forward, to draw the window-cur- tain, and to turn towards the bed, was the work of a moment; it required no second look,\u2014the white face and wide- open eyes could only be those of the dead.CHAPTER IV.The girl's screams awoke the doctor aud Mr.Silas, who came hurrying upstairs, and rushed into the room.Long afterwards Hester recollected how unsteady Mr.Adams stood by the bed, how Lis hands shook, and how unintelligibly he spoke\u2014how calm and ecol- leeted Mr.Silas was throughout the scene.Long afterwards she reeollect- ed, too, among all the dreadful details belonging to the death and funeral, that she picked up in the ashes of the grate a straightened hair pin, which had been thrown into the fire but not consumed.The circumstance was, in itself, so trivial, that, had it not in some odd fashion connected this death with the former one, she would not have given it a second thought.As it was, her thoughts dwelt upon it, she scarcely knew why.For many weeks after thes funeral the whole house was partially shut up and darkened ; the servants were gain changed, excepting Hester, who would have gone also, had not her mis- stress implored ber to remain.The sick lady seemed to droop more and more.She never left her room; she never read nor worked ; she hardly ever spoke, except sometimes with Mr, Silas about legal business, of which there appeared to Hester's mean comprehension to be a great quantity.\u2014 Hester at best must have been poor company, for she was herself in bad health, out of spirits, nervous, and irritable.She, however did her utmost to com fort her mistress, for whom she had, from the first, entertained a great regard ; and, indeed, ever-suffering, gentle, uncompluining, who could help but love her?a The sick lady wasted away slowly.The spring ripened into summer, and still she grew no better; the summer began to wane, the days to shorten; the dead leaves fell and drifted with a ghostly music, as the sick lady and her attendant sat silently in the twilight on those calm autumn evenings towards the end.Winter was coming round again, and she grew worse.About November she took to her bed.Hester was in constant attendance upon her; indeed, the patient fretted at her absence.For hours she would sit holding the faithful girl's hand in hers, and sometimes she would form plans of what they would no next year when she was better.It was determined that, as soon ns she was well enough to go out, she should go to London, and change of air would no doubt lead to her perfect recovery.Still she sank, slowly but surely.\u2014 Then Hester began to fancy that there was à change in the expression of her face; a sort of dread and fear seemed settling upon it.One evening, when Hester was leaving the room to go to bed (she slept in an adjoining apartment) her mistress called her back.\u2018Hester,\u2019 she suid, \u2018you have been a very good girl, very kind and patient \u2018many servants.with me, and you shall not be forgotten when I die.\u2019 *Dear mistress, do not speak so.\u2019 \u2018Yes, Hester, 1 am sure I shall go before long.But you will not leave me till my time is over?With you I feel safe.\u2019 \u2018Feel safe, ma\u2019m ?\" \u2018Hush, Hester !' the sick lady said, half raising herseif in the bed, and drawing the girl closer to her, \u2018I am afraid of\u2014him I\u2019 Hester felt instinetively whom she meant.The mistrees read her own terror in the servant's face; and as they sat silently clasped in each others arms, all of a sudden they both became conscious of another's presence in the room.A dusky form flitted across the light, a lean hand stole in snake-like between the drawn curtains at the bottom of the bed, then a human head, hollow-cheeked and evil- looking, peeped in upon the affright- ed women, with a wolfish glare half hidden in its wicked eyes: * *How is the patient?\u2019 asked Mr.Silas, with a smile.CHAPTER V.The same eyes watched her as crossing the threshold of her own room Hester looked back at Silas\u2019 retreating figure on the stairs.Throughout the night, restlessly tossing in an uneasy wakefulness or troubled slumber, the same head and hand were ever present to Ler excited fancy.How coul! she lic there?A hundied times she fan- cicd that there was some one handling the lock of the door.Then she was sure that she heard a noise in her mistress\u2019 room.Should she go to her?No.All was again quiet, and again she closed her eyes.So she continued until towards daylight, when fatigne and anxiety overcame her, and she slept.\u2014 But not for long.Her mistress\u2019 voice awoke her, not calling loudly, but clear, distinct, and close to her-\u2014 \u2018Hester I! She awoke at the sound and sal up to listen.All was still ; it must have been a dream.Aguin she lay down, and again a whisper filled the room\u2014 \u2018Hester I\u2019 She tore the curtain of the bed on one side.No, there was no onc pres- but herself.Without another thought, she rushed into her mistress\u2019 room and threw herself upon the bed, clutched the cold face in her hands, clasped the cold form to her breast, sobbing and moaning distractedly over the dear, dear friend whom she had lost.There was the old frightened look upon the dead lady's face, the same look which the sister's face had worn, the same which Hester remembered on the face of Mr.Ralph, and there was upon the bosum of the corpse a small round mark like the prick of a pin, just over the heart.The house was soon alarmed, and the servants came crowding in as they had done before on a similar occasion : but Hester\u2014terrified, stupefied, aud giddy with the horrible thoughts which possessed her\u2014got away from them all, and to avoid any further questions, sought refuge in the garden.She walked straight to the most lonely part at the back of the house, and sat down in a little ruined arbor to think what she should do.She had not been there long, when she saw, lying right before her on the path, another straightened hair-pin ! She stooped to raise it, trembling as she did so.As she rose, holding it in her fingers, a dark form passed between her and the sun, casting a cold shadow upon her, and looking up, she read in Silas\u2019 white face the éertainty that he knew her thought.Then, with ent a shrick\u2014 = Fi * * % *® Days, and weeks, and months passed by, and Hester's wits still wander- Her good Aunt Sopky brought her up to town, and change of scene at length restored her to her former health.After having married and survived her husband, Mrs.Haddock became the luundress in this gloomy old house, where now she sits telling us the sto- Ty.And Mr.Silus.What of him ?\u2014 He is the owner of the Pollards now, and of a large house in town, and has Mrs.Haddock could tell you strange stories of wild orgies, gambling, drunkenness and debauchery, in which they sny he spent some twenty years.But that is over; and for these ten years past he has lain ed.WHOLE Noubes ?bed-ridden.Without friend or relation, with no one to cate for him or attend to him, save his hired nurses\u2014 dragging on a wretched existenee from day to day, with nothing to live for, yet afraid to die; paralyzed, helpless, unutterably lonely and miserable, old Silus Gurdlestone awaits the dread summons calling him to the tribunal before which he must render un uc- count of his deeds, God be merciful to him! \u2014sape First Basies.\u2014A somewhat extended observation and a solitary experience have convinced us that first bubies have a hard time.Parents must have two or three children before they know what a baby is or know how to treat it, and acquire patience sufficient to treat it properly.The poor little fellows that have the misfortune to come along first have to educate pu- rents to their task, and in the process they get spanked, and shaken, und abused.After a man has had three or four children, he learns that whipping or striking a child less than two years of age is a barbarism.We know one \u2018paternal head\u2019 who struck his first child when only six wecks old, the uss actually believing that the child knew better than to cry, and that he stopped crying at that particular time because he struck him.We carry certain notions of children and of family government into married life, and the first child is always the victim of these notions.And not alone of these, for the parents have not learned self-control, and a baby is whipped quite as often because the parent is impatient or angry, as oecause it is vicious or intractable.We inflict on our first children the floggings we ought to have for own impatience and fretfulness.This pounding children before they become, in God's eye, morally responsible beings, is very strange business.Patience, good people\u2014unwearying patience!

they themselves walked barefooted over the sharp rocks and sharp stones, over the burning sands and through rolling rivers, fainting from long abstinence in the caves and dens where they had been hidden, parched with thirst, and quivering in every limb lest at each turn their hated, dreaded opponents should spring upon them.Many from the city went out to meet the new comers.They tell us that

murderers and incendiaries to the number of 24,000, principully Druses and Bedouins.Tho Turkish garrison consisted of 5,000 men, who were inae- tive or hostile.The soldiers had driven the Christians

yesterday, an uproar commenced in:the street opposite my house.The Moslems\u2014men, women and boys\u2014be- gan to assemble, crying out that all should go to the Christian quarter to plunder, burn and massacre, and threatening not to leave a house or a Christinn.1 went to the street and spoke to some of them, hoping it would come to nothing.lt grow rapidly worse.Every onc was calling to others not to come without arms, and the women were violently exciting the men, There was some fear expressed of the soldiers, but most declared the soldiers would not interfere with them.1 now found it prudent to take the advice of some of the neighbors, and keep inside my house.\u2018The street jf st my house is about the shortest réud from the Shughoor and the Mceden, the two worst districts in the city.\u2014 Soon after I went into my house the ruffians began to return from the Christian quarter with burdens of plunder, while the numbers running towards it were increasing, and threats, imprecations, and yells were numerous and loud.Every sort and size of thing was carried past my house\u2014 mares and goats, gold and old irom nails, silks and cottons, chests large and small, tables, chairs, books, and every imaginable article.There was a regular stream of these plunderers past my door till after sunset\u2014nearly five hours.Afterwards tncy became fewer, but they never ceased all night, and with the dawn they again increased.\u2014 As soon as they had plundered some of the houses they set them on fire,\u2014\u2014 During the night, though there was clear moonlight, the flames and smoke presented a sight as grand us it was awfnl.During the first ball of the night the lames presented an unbroken are of a circle, as viewed from my roof, of more than 70 degrees, extending from a little north of Bab Shurky to the extreme north point of the Christian quarter.Towards mourning the arc became shorter, partly because it had been steadily approaching me, atid the Christian quarter

of their talk in the street, and some of the talk of our Moslem neighbors on the roofs.I believe it would not have needed à great effort on the part of the Government to prevent all this, but not the slightest effort has yet been made.There were soldiers in the Christian quarter and neighborhood, others were sent in the evening with four guns, and more this morning, but they have not at all

nothing ean befall us, SE We referred a week or two ago to a report that Mr.Geo.Brown had received a \u201cloan\u201d of $20,000 from the firm of Allan & Co., the proprietors of the Montreal Occan Steamship Line, a short time.previous to their asking an additional Subsidy of the Legislature, which led to a suspicion on the part of the Montreal Advertiser, that it was given on very slight security, as a means of securing Mr.Brown's influence for that measure.In reply to this charge, Mr.Brown's paper says: \u201cThe Colonist of lust evening refers to certain business transactions between Mr.George Brown and Messrs, Xd- monstone, Allan & Co., and asks if these transactions were tthe price\u2019 of Mr, Brown's supporting, in the House of Assembly, \u2018the proposifion fur an increased subsidy to the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company?The Colonist professes to base this insinuation on sume statement of the Montreal Advertiser.We do not exchange with that paper, and do not know what muy have been stated in its columns ou ths ur any other subject; Lut this we do know, that Mr.Brown's transactions with the firm in question have been entirely of an ordinary business character, yielding large profit to the firm in question, and amply secured.So far from these transactions being connected with the steamship line, they were entered into many months before the increased aid was beard of.Moreover, it there had been any connection betweon the two transactions, the \u2018price\u2019 paid could not have ween for Mr.Brown's supporting the cularged sub- sily\u2014Dbut must have been for his opposing it, inasmuch as he spoke and voted against the measure from the hour of its introduction to its final pas- suge.The Colonist has not, therefore, even a plausible plea for dragging this purely private matter before the pub- le.Had Mr.Brown voted for the Bil, absurd as the whole fabrication is, a very small peg might have existed, on which to hang sucha tale ; but firmly opposing the measure as he did would affirm that there are not in all more than a few hundred men\u2014say, 500 \u2014mostly the lowest of the low, and miserably armed.Not one in twenty hus a gun.A very large number have only sticks, the rest swords, pistols, daggers or axes.Opposite my from first to last, the Colonist hus not a shadow of excuse for making a private business matter subject of newspaper siander.We, of course, fully acknowledge the right of the press to criticise the whole public conduct of every public man, and to enquire firm- ty und freely whenever there is probable cause to believe that the course of any publie man on any publie question has been influenced by mercenary or corrupt motives ; but therc is an end to all decency in party contests, if the press is at liberty to drag into the political arena private and personal matters, in which the public have no sort of interest or concern whatever,\u201d Upon this answer the Quebec Chron- !icle remarks : Now, we think, without any prejudice against Mi, Brown, any business man looking at the statement as Mr.Brown himself puts it, must regard this five thousand pound transaction, to say the least, as extremely fishy.Tuke, for example, the admission that the transaction\u2014the precise bent- ings of which Mr.Brown is careful not to disclose\u2014touk pluce montbs before the increused aid to Mr.Allan's line was heard of.Here is an cquivocation door isa sort of stopping-place for | ut the outset, If Mr.Allan proposed to bribe Jditors and members of Par- liument, it is most sure, be would commence his operations Lefore the scheme was laid before the public ; so that es.tatlishing innocence on a plea like this, is simply speculating on public innocence and credulity.Then again.is Mr.Allen in the habit of lending money in Toronto and the West?lait purt of the ordinary business of bis firm?Especially is it their business, at the very moment when their large enterprise was almost breaking down, und indeed but-for the ex- truordinary liberality of the Government could not have held out.Will anybody but fools believe that at such a crisis as this, Messrs.Allun & Co.would have curried up to the back woods of Canada, in a season of almost geaeral bankruptey, a bag of gold containing $20,000, on the questionable security of u few village lots?It is not good to bo suspicious; but if Mr, Allan did any such thing us Mr.Brown intimates, without a Largain either implied or directly signed, securing colluteral advantages of a political nature, he is certainly a greater liberal than the world would huve ever supposed.And it is not in Montreal nor Quebec that Mr.Allun has ever been found, up to the period of this transaction, throwing his money uway in swamps.The only argument worth anything in Mr.Brown's reply is that wherein he points to his votes in the House as.being given against the increased subsidy of last session.We believe, on certain occasions, Mr.Brown did vote against the subsidy.But on referring to his speeches in the House, we find hardly a word in.disapproval of the grant\u2014but arguments for some delay \u2014to enable a Committee of the House to enquire whether Mr.Allan really necded more help.And not only this, but we remember it was generally re marked on both sides of the House during the debate, that nearly every one of the interrogations put by Mr.Brown to the Pustmuster General were what lawyers call \u2018leading questions\u201d directly calculated to ensure an answer favorable to the Steamship Co.This fuet was noticed and commented on before the slightest hint of the $20,000 transactions was given to the public; and it was simply supposed that Mr.Brown's nationality had got the better of his political antipathies\u2014and that he desired to see his Glasgow friend out of the mud.Nothing more uncharitable than this, we believe, was spoken of, three month ago.Now, however, the case is different.We are bound to believe that, as Mr.Brown admits having received this sum of $20,000 from Mr.Allan at a time when the Steamship Company was in want of a new supply of public mon- cy, the loun was made solely to secure Parliamentary and newspaperinflucnce.And if we leave the morality of the transaction out of account, we are bound to say Mr.Allan made a most judicious investmeut\u2014even if he has not so much as the mortgage of a twenty-dollar village lot to show for it, There can be no denying the influence of the borrower; and the Steamship Company could not well be ignorant of the fuct.Morcover, the issuc has proved, both in Englund and here, that à cheap way of forwarding such measures is quietly to molify a few of the Opposition patriots.\u2018The difference between the mother country and Canada is, that Colonial talent commands a higher rate.Mr.Lever softens the temper of live baronets and live lords with petty sums of £800; while here a mun with no title at all, brings the respectable figure of $20,000.This is as it should be.It shows, not only that there is talent in the country, but that talent is appreciated.a The services in this particular case, we believe, were faithfully rendered; and this is the best word we can say for a transaction which the public may be disposed to disparage.\u2014\u2014 New AMERICAN CONFEDERACY.\u2014 The New York Evening Post says that the people of the Canadas, while loyal to the British throne, are not content no chance of imperial dignities; they don\u2019t wish to be called forever Canadians, New Brunswickers, Nova Sco- tians, Prince Edward's Islanders, Now- foun ilanders, &c., &c., but they wish to have a national name and a national character.The Post adds: \u201cWe have reason to suppose that ons of the ends proposed by this visit of the Queen's cldest son to Canada will be, to prepare a suitable response to these aspirations, and that it will be forthcoming very soun after the return of the royal party to England.1f we muy judge from such information as has already transpired, some new name will be given to the entire British American States, and they will be placed under the rule of the young gentle- man whom they are now receiving with to remain forever mere colonists, with | much attention, with the title and powers of a Viceroy.That something can:be noÿdoubt.If this four was made simply for educational purposes, like Lis trip to the States of the Continent, and to various parts of the British Islunds, he would not be permitted to receive greater or more costly attentions from the Queen's subjects than he received then ; where- us, he is received in Canada us the immediate representative of the sovereign; the same ctiquette and homage being rigorously required in ull cases, he

mountains, lovked like a picture.The ships were dressed with flugs and the shores lined with people.The scene would have appeared gay and animated, but the murky sky, through mist and muddy waters, gave ita dull appearance.People were clustered on the citadel walls and housetops, and the strects were filled.The wharf was covered.Admittance to the wharf where the Prince lunded wus only by tickets, The Prince's ship came slowly up the river, which buys out below the city, accompanied by a large flotilla of excursion bouts, and dropped anchor in front of the wharf.Rain fell, tho\u2019 people said it always rained when the Prince lands.The ships were greeted with cheers, chiming of Church bells, salutes from the cannon on the wharf, and from three enthusiastic and patriotic ships which swung slowly round with the tide.The yards of six men- of-war were manned.The Prince entered the Hero's Large, which rowed swiftly to shore.When the Prince landed, the royal ensign floated from

of many influential friends, in various parts of this District, I am induced to offer myseif for your Suffrage, at the approaching Election of Legislative Councillor for tlre District of Bedford.J am neither a stranger in the District, nor altogether untried as a publie man.\u2014 My conneetion with our local j.uvlie affairs, as well as my Representation of the County of Shefford in Parliament for the last two years, having already placed me in a position to serve you, and having also afforded yourselves the opportunity to judge of my capacity for the fulfilment of the public trusts which have been reposed in me, and for the honorable position I now seek, I am persuaded it is unnecessary to indulge in any long declaration of faith, or profuse exhibition of promises.1 have never been An unreasoning partizan, having held myself at liberty to sup-, port any measure in Parliament\u2014irrespect- ive of party trammels\u2014which in my opinion was conducive to the general good; and especially should 1 regard it as à publie ca- lumity, if partizan differences should hold sway in the Upper House, or embitter the contest in our Legislative Council Elections, which I teust may never become the arena of wrangling party politics.Having spent the past Summer in England, on business of great importance to the Distriet (in which I am happy to ant nounce very encouraging success) 1 am now prevented by the unremitting pressure of my engagements from giving to the Canvass those preliminary attentions which an Fleetion of so much importance demands ;: but I shall take the earliest possible opportunity to hold porsonal intercourse with the Electors in various parts of the District, and should you honor me with your confi- deuce, J shall devote my best energies to the promotion of tho local and general interests of my constituents.1 have the honor to Gentlemen, Your ob\u2019t.humble Servant, A.B.FOSTER.SHEFFORD, Aug.14, 1860.HATS!

The force of loveliness is strong, A spark\u2019s a spark, and tinder tinder, And certain things in Heaven are written, And is there any cause to hinder The Prince of Wales from being smitten ?Transcendents charms drive evenmonarchs frantic.A German Princess must he marry?And who can say he may not carry One of Columbia's fascinating daughters O'er the Atlantic?Truth many a one might force to own, Hopes that to her the kerchief may be flung, To the ultimate exaltation of a young American lady to the British throne.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014__ HYMN OF THE HARVESTERS.We gather them in-the bright green leaves\u2014 With our seythes and rakes to-day, And the mow grows big, as the pitcher heaves His lift in the sweltering hay.O ho! afield! for the mower's scythe, Hath a ring as of destiny, Sweeping the curth of its burden lithe, As it's swung in wrathful glee.We gather them in\u2014the nodding plumes OF the yellow and bearded grain, And the flash of our sickles' light illumes Our march o'er the vanyuished plain.Anon, we come with the steed drawn car\u2014 \u2018The cunning of modern laws ; And neres stoop to its clanking jar, As it rocks its hungry jaws.We gather them in\u2014the mellow fruits, From the shrub, the vine and tree, With their russet, and golden, and purple suits.To garnish our treasury.And each has a treasure stored, All a'neath its tinted rind, To cheer our guests at the social board, When we leave our eares behind, We gather them in\u2014-this goodly store\u2014 But not with the miser\u2019s gust.For that great All-Father we adore, Hath given it but in trust : And our work of death is but for life, In the wintry days to come\u2014- Then a blessing upon the reaper\u2019s strife, And a shout at his Harvest Home.ee 00e 1.E\u2014Tuar 1s.\u2014The girls in these latter days have a decided tendency to terminate in \u2018ie.\u2019 Taking up a catalogue of ladies\u2019 schools the other day\u2014pleasant reading by the way, those pages full of the names of school girls are !\u2014we found the following angels in \u2018ie :\u2019 Essie aud Elsie, and Carrie, and Kittie, and Katie, and Fannie, and Annie, and Millie, and Mollie, and Minnie, and Lizzie, and Libbie, and Lottie, and Lucie, and Laurie, and Lillie, and Addie, and Nellie, and Hattie, and Jennie!
