but I buve not yet so far failed in charity as to wish any of these scoffers put to a similar test.I had run over to Paris, had spent a couple of weeks in that bright city, and was on my way home again.I took a night train from Dover to London, and in the compartment which I occupied there was but one other pas- senger\u2014a sharp intelligent-looking man, with a very grave face.We got into conversation after traveling more than half the distance in that silence which is invariably adopted by Englishmen when they meet.After discussing general subjects, a remark of my companion led me to say that Le seemed to have had a very wide experience, and among nearly all classes of society.\u201cYes,\u201d he answered slowly, and with marked hesitation.\u2018Yes, I am an undertaker.I have had a good deal of experience, and have had my share, I think, of remarkable adventures.I never take this ride from Dover to London without a very painful recollection of one such.\u201d We had still nearly a half hours ride before us and his manrer, as much as his words, aroused my interest.*Do you care to tell it?\u201d I asked.A quick, involuntary shudder gave to his voice a slight tremor, as he answered, \u2018\u2018I wish I could keep from thinking of it, but I might as well tell it as sit here quaking in silence ower the awful memory of it.\u201d He paused a moment, drew a long, shuddering breath, and then he commenced : \u201cA litle over à year ago what I am about to relate happened tome.I had established a very good business, chiefly among the upper class of trade people\u2014though, of course, I did not decline any call upon me that promised a reasonable profit.I reccived one day a telegraphic despatch from Paris asking me to take charge of a dead body that was to be sent from Paris to bondeu-ter-buviair- 1 wils-40 meet | it at Dover ou the arrival of the night boat from Calcis, and make all the arrangements for its further trausports- tian by rail, and I was referred to a well-known banker as security for my expenses.«This looked like good business, so 1 lost no time in getting the necessary permits and went to Dover iu the evening.I had some details to attend to there in order that everything might be in readiness and no time Jost after the boat rarived.Then 1 had nothing to do but wait.I sat up reading to keep myself awake.-+It was a beautiful still night in the late fall, with an almost full moon, I remember and the boat got in on time.I received the box containing the body and saw it placed in one of the luggage vans of the train: aud in due course arrived with it at Victoria station.One of my wagons was there waiting to take the body to my place, where 1 was instructed to keep it until morning, when the proper parties would call to make arrangements about the burial.\u201cSo far of course, there was nothing specially remarkable about the affair.\u201cIt ing little ynysual ju such cases not ta find sowe one connocted with the deceased accompanying the body ; but I hardly gave that matter a second thought.I had no doubt but that the right person would appear later in the day.\u201cWhen I got to my shop, it etill lacked two hours of daylight, and as I felt no slight responsibility, I didn\u2019t think of going home, but made myself as comfortable as possible in my uf- fice fur the vost of the night.You must bear in mind that all the sleep 1 had secured was a broken, uneasy slumber on the journey from Dover to London, and when I went to sleep in my chair, after stirring the fire into a blaze, I slept very soundly\u2014very soundly, that is, for awhile, and it was still dark when J woke up ina sudden aud startling way.\u2018Have you ever wondered,\u201d the uns dertaker asked, turning hia eyes full upon wine for the first time since he had begun his story, \u2018what mysterious influence that is which makes you feel another presence in the same room as yourself, though you heard go one and sce no one?It's a queer feeling at any time, but I don\u2019t know of any occasion when i van seem ore queer and awful than when it comes to a man locked up in the dead of night with nothing but black plumes and grave clothes and palls and coffins about him.\u201d He turned his eyes to the fiear agam, snd a cold tremor crept through my own flesh in the brief and ominous pause he mace before he went on in a lower voice : \u201cThis was the feeling I had when I suddenly awoke from sound sleep to full consciousness with a chilling shudder of horror.I was silting before the fireplace, with my back to the door that led from the office to the shop.I had purposely left the door ajar.The fire bad died down to a dull glow, and it seemed to me that a breath from the Arctic zone had penetrated the room.I cannot describe the kind of cold it was.My very bones seemed to be ice.And then I felt that presence.\u201d The undertaker seemed terribly affected even now by his recollections of that sight.It was impossible to resist the infection, and my own flesh was creeping in a very uncomfortable way.He made a strong efforl to recover himself and steady his voice, but, in spite of all it trembled with an ever deepening terror as he went on curdling my very blood in sympathy.\u201cI had turned the gas out when I sat down in my chair to sleep, so that the only light in the room came from the dying fire.I became aware of that presence the very instant I awoke.Mind, sir, this is not a dream.I was as fully awake as I am at this moment.The thing was there! It was between me and the door.1 had got to turn my head to see it.But I knew jt was there! Who it was, or what it was, I didn\u2019t know; but I was sure that some living thing was standing behind me motionless in the dim, ghostly light, and was looking at me.My God, sir! it was awful to sit still and feel this thing, and try to make up my mind to turn my head toward it! I am pretty well accustomed to corpses, but I can tell you that I did not feel just then that the corpse out in the other room was any company for me.«Well, there I sat\u2014feeling that horrible gaze fixed upon me in utter silence, and the deathlike cold creeping through my veins\u2014striving, struggling to nerve myself to look around and face the thing whatever it was.\u201d \u201cWere you ever locked up in a tomb at night?\u2019 the undertaker suddenly asked\" me.I could only shake my head in response ; I could not speak.\u201cI have been,\u201d he said, \u2018but it was nothing\u2014nothing to those few minutes, while I sat palsied with terror, to my feet and turned toward the door.The sight froze me! There is no other word for it\u2014I was rigid.1 could no more stir than I could arrest the motion of this train uow and _iu- stantly.My very heart stopped its beating.I wonder I did not drop dead myself, for there\u2014not six feet fromm me\u2014with the livid pallor of death on its face stood the corpse! \u201cThen it began to approach me.It did not seem to walk\u2014it glided; and not till it reached me did it make a single apparent movement.Then\u2014 just stand up, will you?I can illustrate better what occurred.\u201d I did so, and he rose at the same time, and we stood facing each other in the compartment.I was dimly conscious\u2019 at the moment we were crossing Batter- sea bridge.The undertaker, as he went on, repeated upon me the actions he described.\u201cThen this dead thing, he said to me, \u2018\u2018slowly lifted its arms and laid its icy fingers on my cheeks and moved them gently downwards to my shoulders pressing in hard against me all the time on either side, as I do nuw to you, sod wherever the hands Iay they seemed to draw the very life aut of the flesh beneath thew.Slow- ly\u2014oh, how slowly\u2014they glided on downward from my shoulders to my breast, beneath my coat, like this.Try to conceive it\u2014try it, if you can.Wherever they touched they drew something away frani-ssome virtue geemed to go out of me.And then the frightful thought came to me that I was dying by piecemeal !\u2014that I was parting with something dear to me ay life\u2014bit by bit 1 could feel it ebbing, and at last the horror grew to a conviction, This ghoul was drawing my life\u2019s blood into his own veins! was sucking my substnnce! What I lost he gained.He enriched himself by making me poor, and it would end\u2014\u201d {Yictoria I\" shouted opening the door.¢\u2018Bless my sou) |\" exclaimed the undertaker, \u2018\u2018wo ave in! I must hurry to catch my train out.\u201d He seized his satchel and was on the step before I could get my breath to say: \u2018But the story! I want to hear the end of it.\u201d He was on the platform now, **Oh, there isn\u2019t much more,\u201d he -called back, The ghoul succeeded\u2014that's all \"-\u2014and he was gone before I could say another ward.As I followed a porter to à cab, and all the way home, ] tyled ta conceive what the undertaker could mean.How could the dead man have succeeded?Here the underteker was, alive and well, and telling me the ato- ry.It wag very annoying and disap- the guard, with that thing behind me! At last, aa OT SPIRE \u201cTpit pointing to be so balked after being so wrought upon.The undertaker had left ine no address, so I was ap- purently doomed never to know the solution.Only \u201capparently\u201d however.When I got out of the cab at my own door, I could find no loose change to pay the driver, yet I! had some when I took the train at Dover, my well furnished pocketbook, though that, too, I had at Dover, was gone as well; and my watch and chain had folfowed suit.It is painful to lose confidence in human nature in this way.+.Unnoticed Danger.\u2014\u2014 .Mr.Le Roy F.Griffln, in the Chicago Current, comments very sensibly on household dangers as follows : \u201cFar too many houses, both in city and country, are positively dangerous.Many city houses stand on made land, or at least that which was formerly swampy.The foundation walls, when there are any\u2014for houses often stand on posts alone\u2014are built of solid masonry, but with no cement either outside or in.porous, and soak up water nearly as rapidly as a sponge.Then it slowly trickles down the inside, emitting malaria, forming a fine soil in which all manner of fungoid growths flourish.The rooms over such places are first- class disease breeders, and every home should be frequently examined to see that this source of danger does not exist.\u201cThen, drain pipes often leak in the cellar and basement.This adds the danger of the rooms above.The two fiends, stagnant water from the sewers and the water filtering slowly in through the walls, work in concert to sap the life of the little ones, and to fit them to vield to the first disease.\u201cThe walls of the rooms themselves in far too many houses, are disease breeders.A neat and tasty paper upon the wall make a room inviting and adds to home comfort.But unfortunately, even when the paper is made free from poison\u2014 and good paper can be so made\u2014the paste with which it is attached is just the home for the minute organisms which produce certain diseases.This is bad enough where there is ouly a single layer of 4 papery hut when, as is often the case, several layers of paper and paste are spread upon the same wall, outside of one another, the danger is multiplied many times.Such walls are really masses of festering filth.The best wall is, undoubtedly, the plain plastered wall.\u201cAll cases like these demand caution.Those who are responsible for homes cannot be too careful.The health, often the life, of loved oues, children particularly, depends upon rigid exclusiun of all these lurking places of diseases and breeders of death.Beauty should be, and is consistent with perfect safety in the home.\u201d rl @e 2\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Wealth in Waste.A peculiar class of book hunters liaunt the large junk shops in search of rare or ald books and the popular monthly magazines.These genteel chiffonicres, if they may be called such, occasionally strike valuable finds in old literature, which costs them at the rate of 6 cents per pound.Another class of buyers look up the monthly parts of magazines, and upon completing the set dispose of them, usually to the Cornbill second-hand book-stores.These buyers often tackle a pile of old paper stuff that keeps them busy for a week or longer, and it is often the case that their labor is unrewarded.The law of compensa tian soems to be a factor in, the old junk business, for many people get a good living from other people\u2019s waste, and some even get rich out of it.Even the old tin cans, which were formerly condemned as useless, and millions of which have been planted in the creation of the Back bay district of Boston, are now utilized, and the metal sheet made from them can be japanued, or tinned, or galvanized, or treated in any way that the material made from the original ore is treated.Out of the tron are made buttons, shoelace onds, show cards, tele phoaes, electric lights and letter boxes small ware, eto.There are parties in Boston who make the collection of old tin, tin cuttings and old tin cans a regular business, and make tuoney out of it.The material is sent to New York, where itis utilised, So the utilization of tinplate euttings and the recovery of the tin has grown out of the same channel of scientifio thought and experiment that lang ago took the rags fram tho denghil} and converted them tuto ahects of paper.- Boston

WHAT A BOSTON SKIPPER SAYS OF HIS EXPERIENCE IN CANADIAN WATERS.The following letter which appeared in the Boston Herald conveys a different impression to many statements that have appeared on the subject :\u2014 So much has been written and printed about the experiences of American fishermen in Canadian waters, and the indignities put on them, I wish you would open your columns and give your readers an insight into the other side of the story.I sailed from Boston to North Bay on June 16, not knowing just what the cutters would do or how the law would be interpreted.I neared the coast with fear and anxiety.The first land sighted was Whitehead, and immediately cries came from aloft: \u2018Cutter in sight, ahead!\u201d I rushed to the deck found the vessel which proved to be the Howlet, commmanded by Capt.Lowry, nearing us rapidly.At time of sighting the cutter we were standing in shore.She hoisted her flags to let us know what she was, and we immediately ¢-about ship\u201d and put to sea to get out of her way, for fear we might be placed ou the prize list of the captures.We finally headed up for Port Mulgrave in Canso expecting to receive rough usage from the authorities, but to our surprise found Collector Murray a perfect gentleman, willing to assist me as far as he, could without encroaching on the Canadian laws.From there we put in at Port Hawkesbury and boarded the cutter Conrad and asked the captain for instructions in regard to the three-mile limit, and what privileges, if any, we had.1 was answered, in a courteous and hearty way, that he did not have them aboard, but would go ashore in a few moments and get me a printed copy of the regulations, which he did, and assured us that if we followed them we would be unmolested ; that he was there to see that the law was not violated, but not to cause unnecessary annoyance.After receiving instructions from the captain, thanks to him, I went to the custom house and entered my vessel, paying twenty-five cents.I found a very pleasant gentleman in the collector, who did all in his power to relieve my mind and make us comfortable.Souris was our next port of landing, where we also reported.and wore well treated.\u2014 From there we went to -Malpeque, where we found another gentleman in the collector.We met the cutter Howlet at Cassumpece, and had several interviews with her commander, Capt Lowry, whom I found a quiet, just and gentlemanly officer.My vessel was one of the fleet ordered out of harbor by him.At that time it was as good a fish day as one could ask for, and THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE PLAIN, that at such times we had no right to remain in harbor._At no time is there much water to spare on the bar, and it is a common occurence for vessels to ground in going in or out, and that some did touch was due to ignorance of the channel or carelessness on the part of captains.At the time the order was issued the weather was fair, but before all the fleet could work out through the channel, one of the sudden changes in weather, so much to be dreaded on such a coast, came, and the cutter rescinded the order and the fleet returned.It has been printed in a Boston paper that, owing to being forced to sea by the cutter\u2019s orders in bad weather my schooner, the Andrew Burnham, fouled two Englishmen and narrowly escaped serious damage.If true it would look like a hardship.It was simply this: In getting under way, in a small and crowded space, finding I would not have room, I dropped our starboard anchor.That not holding, we let go the other, and it brought us up all right ; not much in this to point to as an outrage or danger from stress of weather.I believe Capt.Lowry to be a man who would carry out all the requirements of the Canadian laws, but I saw nothing in my experience in those waters that could be considered as being arbitrary, or taking a mean advantage of his official athority to annoy any one.Capt.Lowry has been a master of vessels for twenty- five years, is a man of high reputation as a seaman, and #8 good a judge of whether the weather is favorable for a vessel to go to sea as any man who walks a deck, and when he ordered the flect to sea he went himself, and I know he would not order a vessel to leave harbor if there was any danger of loss of life or property.We reported at Cassumpece, and-wore treat- od the same as at all other ports we touched at.If our vessels would attend to reporting at the Custom houee, the same as they doin our ports, no trouble would be met with.IF WE HAD \u2018FREE FISH\u201d it would give tho Canadians some recompense for what our fishermen want viz., the right to go anywhere, use their harbors, ship men, get provisions land aud mend our mets, buy salt and bargels, and ship our catch home by rail or steamer without expense or annoyance, the same as we have heretofore.If wo had had that privilege this vear, myself and vessel would have been $5,000 better off this sesson, and all the fishermen in the bay would have been in the same boat with me.I do not say that I am too honest not to fish within the three-milé limit, nor do I believe there is & vessel in the fleet who would not, if the cutter was out of sight.I made two trips to the hay, both of which were very successful, and I lived up to the requirements of the law as well as I knew how, and did not find them obnoxious, or to interfere wi.h my success, and everywhere I went I was courteously treated by the officials\u2014especially so by both the cutters.Should it be a bay year next season, I hope to meet them again.Those who openly preached that they would go where they pleased, do what they wanted to in spite of law or cutters, shipped men, smuggled or openly fished inside of the limit, and indulged in the satisfaction of damning the cutter, the \u2018captain, the government and everything else when they kuew they could do it with impunity, and that the men they were talking to could not resent it by word or blow, were- looked after sharp and were not extended the courtesy that was shown so many of us.In the interest of fair play, I could not help writing you aod asking you to give this to your readers, if not taking up too much of your valuable space.Very respectfully.Capt.NatBAN F.BLAKE, Schooner Andrew Burnham, of Boston.Boston, October 6th, 1886.Origin of a Famous Saying.John Randolph bad had a discussion with a man named Sheffey, who was one of his colleagues, and who had been a shoemaker in early life.Sheffey had made a speech which excited Randolph\u2019s jealousy, and Rau- dolph, in replying to him, said that Sheffey was out of Lis sphere, and by way of illustration had told the story of the sculptor Phidias.\u201cThis sculptor,\u201d said Randolph, \u2018had made a noted figure, and having placed it on the sidewalk he secured a hiding place near by, where, unobserved, he ruigtrt- hear the criticisms of those who passed upon Lis statue.Among those who examined the marble was a

objected to and found that his criticism was correct.He removed the statue to his studio and remedied the defects.The next day Phidias again placed it upon the street and the shoemaker again stopped before it.He saw at once that the defects he had noticed had been remedied and he now began to criticise very foolishly other points about the statue.Phidias listened to him for a time, and then came

through with last Sunday with one of these new-fashioned bustles.\u201d \u2018Can't you tell us your experience ?\u201d\u2019 we asked.\u2018The many readers of the Free Press\u2014\" \u201cNo,-no,\u201d she interrupted, frowning, \u2018\u2018you mustu\u2019t put it in the paper now.But it was really too dreadful.You sec, I had gone on to Chicago to visit my friend Katie B\u2014\u2014, and the first thing she told me was that I needed building up.\u201d \u201cYou were in delicate health?\u201d we inquired.*Oh, no!\u201d she answered, impatient- Iy.\u201cI didn\u2019t set out enuvugh, and where I did set out it wasn\u2019t in the right place.What I needed, she said was one of the new style bustles, but it was Saturday night and too late to buy one, and I couldu\u2019t have gone to church the next day if Katie hadu\u2019t offered to stay at home and lend we her hustle.The next worning she came into my room holding up a whitish- brown bag.\u2018What's that?said I.\u2018The new patent, elastic, adjustible, india-rub- ber, inflatable bustle,\u201d said spa.\u2018It\u2019s only been worn once, and it\u2019s perfect ly splendid.You'll be certain to like it.\u201d ¢ \u2018But what makes said I.\u201cAir,\u201d said see.\u2018* Look here.\u201d * Then she put her mouth to a little pipe and began to blow and blow, and when she had puffed away about fifteen minutes the thing had swelled out to the size of meal sack.\u2018It\u2019s as light as a feather,\u2019 said she, giving it a little tap that sent it bounding across the room.\u2018But I don\u2019t think I should like such an animated background,\u2019 I objected.\u2018It\u2019s rather too lively for me.\u2019 ¢¢ Nonsense,\u2019 said she ; \u2018when strapped on it\u2019s as firm as a

say when I looked at wy shadow going to church a and saw how stylishly it poked out behind I felt pretty lofty myself.When I got to church I had to sit on the very edge of the seat, for, as Kate bad said, the \u2018patent inflatable\u2019 was as firia as a rock \u2014Eheu! Butit was such a comfort to know that I was properly built up.Well, we got along\u2014the bustle and I \u2014pretty comfortably, all things considered, until the sermon was nearly through.But just as the minister was saying, \u2018Finally, brethren,\u201d I heard (O, mercy !) I heard\u2014a sound.\u201d \u201cA sound !\u201d we exclaimed.- \u201cThat was strange, indeed.Did the preacher drop his Bible?\u201d \u201cO no,\u201d she answered, shaking her head.\u2018\u2018It was a most dreadful sound, like\u2014the\u2014hissing of a teakettle.\u201d \u201cThat must have been horrible,\u201d we cried.\u201cO, you can never know.Everybody turned - round\u2014everybody, I mean, but me, I looked straight at the minister.I suspected, I knew, I felt what was going on, and I didn\u2019t dare to move for fear of a worse explosion.I looked as cool as I could, but really and actually I thought I'd burn toa cinder before that awful sound at last died away in a long, leng fiz-z-z, aid I found myself still alive.When all was silent again I tested the extent of the damage by slipping back in my scat, aud when I found I could sit up close to the back I knew that the worst was true.My hustle, my beautiful bustle was busted.\u201d «It was pitiful,\u201d we said, sympathetically.\u201cO, I should say it was.When I looked in the shop windows, going home, there I was as straight as a lead pencil and all the boys behind just killing themselves.Mercy ! they

that raged with such destructive violence ou the Gulf coast Monday and Tuesday nights of last week, set off ina northerly and northeasterly direction and did great damage in places West yesterday leveling telegraph wires, blowing down buildings and wrecking shipping.But all this was nothing compared with the destruction wrought on the Gulf coast.Sabine Pass, Tex., at the mouth of the Sabine river that divides that state from Louisiana, appears to have been almost wiped out of existence.The wind rolled the waters of the Gulf in upon the town from the south and the turbid waters of the Sabine river and lake on the north broke through the banks and completed the disaster.Over 50 lives were lost out of a total population of about 400, and most of the buildings were wrecked.Cameron parish, comprising a large section of marshy lowland along the Gulf coast of Louisiana also suffered terribly.All the members of seven families perished in the flood, and many others unknown were swept away, while thousands of cattle were drowned and valuable crops were ruined.Not a house was left standing within five miles of Lake Sabine, it is reported.Terrible losses of life and -property are also reported at Johuson\u2019s Bayou, which is in Cameron parish und near Lake Sabine.Rescuing parties are being sent Lo all these places.THE DISASTER AT SABINE PAss.News received at Fort Worth, Tex., from Sabine Pass is to the effect that the greater part of the town has heen washed away and about 60 or 70 persons drowned hy the terrific storm of Tuesday night.The waters from the luke and the Gulf rushed into the place with great rapidity and dislodged the foundation of nearly every house.All telegraphic communication cast of Beaumont is interrupted.The damage done by the storm at Beaumont is also considerable, a nuw- ber of houses being blown down and many of the principal lumber mills damaged.The track of the East Texas and Sabine railway is washed away for miles in a number of places, besides damage being done to bridges and depots.Lake Charles, La., report says that the loss of property along the Cameron parish (La.) gulf coast, and for some distance west of Sabine Pass, Tex., by the storms of Tuesday night was fearful.The mailboat from Cameron parish reports that the water at Calcasieu Pass was eight feel deep at the light-house and that the entire country east and west was submerged Tuesday night, drowning thousands of cattle and ruining crops.No lives were lost at Leesburg and Caleasieu Pass.but the following are reported lost at Johnsons Bayou, La.The entire families of Alfred Lambert, Marion Lukes, George Striever, Charles Blanchet, Radford Beery and two families by the name Franeswar, besides many others whose names bave not been ascertained.The storm of Tuesday did great damage to crops and property along the Mississippi river from Port Eads to Point a la Hache, La.The terrific force of the wind and great waves lifted from their places many of the great concrete blocks weighing several tons each, from the huge wall by the side of the jetties, and hurled them into the sea.The land all about Port Eads was snbmerged and people had to flee for their lives.The loss to crops, especially rice, and other property in the vicinity will reach $200,000.a -\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A Plague Stricken City.Cuicaco, Oct.16.\u2014A Times special from San Francisco says: Private advices received in this city state that cholera is still raging fiercely in Corea No idea can be formed of the extent of the scourge.It has more than decimated the capital, where, out of a population of 200,000, the death rate rules at the frightful average of a thousand per day.About as many Coreans as there are people in the State of California have been swept away already, and it is hard to say where the plague will stop.Corea is described as an appalling pest spot.\u201d Never was there a more frightful record of the ravages of disease on mankind.The story of the plague of London is beggared by what is now going on in Seoul.They are beginning to give over the task of burying their dead and the city is threatened with positive extinetion.ee ll A - An ancient custom prevails in Corea.Upon a high bill in the capital, about dark are lighted four distinct fires.These are the termjpal signal fires of as many series flashed along the hills of Corea

the present Provincial crisis.The Licutenant Governor can take no arbitary action.He is uot supposed to know how the members are going to vote until they declare themselves on a division.Whatever his private opinion may be, oflicially he knows nothing about it.No much is certain.If the Government feels it is beaten it may resign at once or quite legitimately in view of the very closeness of the result hold on until beaten in the House.If, however, the Government should feel itself vanquished common decency would suggest that it make no appointments for its friends in\u2019the interim.It may continue to adwinis- ter the departmental work, but should du nothing more.Again we trust we shall hear nothing of *:deals\u201d with the independent Nationalists.No buying of them off by either side if such should be possible.If Mr.July were at the head of the Liberal party no fears of a deal on his side would Le entertained, but Joly is gone and his methods went with him.Let these 80 called Nationalists make their own choice and Jet the Government stand or full by the result.We fully confess we are sadly disappointed at the prospect of having such a pliable and elastic man as Mercier at the head of the Government.We are disappoint\u201d ed at the success of the diabolical race aud religion cry.We are disappointed too at the prospective ruin of the only decent Conservative Government the Province has had for many vears ; ruined by the hypocritical cry of a clique of fanatics, a cry that has swept the Province like a cyclone.But, not, withstanding all this, the ballots of the people should be respected.If Merier is chosen hy the people let him have a chance.If the Nationalists know that their constituents prefer a Liberal Conservative Government let them act accordingly ; but, for the sake of decency, let there be none of the buying off business, of which the air is full of rumors.\u2014 Mont.Star.\u2014e>e\u2014.CONDENSED NEWS, Prairie fires have thoroughly scorched

It could not escape him after all those years.She bad never seen him so strong and supple in her life.He caught her in his arms and sat her upon a pile of quartz in a corner, and then bowed down at her feet and called her a little queen.He said ho had set her on a throne of gold.How she cried, and how she clung to his neck and kissed him there; half a mile away, in the dark and dripping earth, she was thinking of what had just passed.He was thinking of what Was to come, Then how they did plan and build their castles of gold! Building as such castles are always built.For not a particlo of gold had as yet been found.Charley should know nothing about it! No, not one word, till he was right certain he loved Carrots almost to death.As if she did not know that already! At last her apron was spread out and filled with quartz, as if it was gold.And \u201c40,\u201d taking the candle from his hat, filled the old hat, as a boy merrily fills his cap with golden apples then, taking the candlo in his haud, they started for the mouth of the tunnel, They had to stoop over as thev groped along, Now and then the cld man would stumble under his load (nl almost fall.Then Carrie would bauter and laugh rucrrily at his tall figure, which was ill-suited for groping n'y with a great load.And thus st.wbling, falling, laughing, and bautering cach other liko schoolchildren, they drew near the mouth of the tunuol, Carrie missed a shaft of light, so familiar to them both, as they turned a little auglo in the tunnel.But she said nothing.She still tried to laugh, as she stumbled, but it was such a laugh as i from a grave, She might come up hastily staggered ou a fow yards further.She stopped : then she hurried on, and suddenly found she stood almost to her kuces in cold, muddy water.The girl dropped her quartz with a doll spæesh, and hastened back to where the old man stood holding up the candle before his cyes and trembling in every limb.The water had followed her back, and was rising fast.She tok tne candle, which was about to fall fixe his trembling hand.They loved cach other in the face, but ucither spoke.They both understood to» wall the awful truth.She turned and waded down the loving \u201cuunel till she stond in the wager to bier waist, There was vo light, vo sound-~uothing, The mountainside Lad slid down aud shut them npin a livii g tomb, No power on earth could roll away the stone.She felt that thoy would never.never pass through the mouth of that taunel any more.8he returned to \u201c\u201c'49\" and took him by the hand.\u201cCome! come back I\" she Raid} \u2018see, the water is rising fast.\u201d \u201cBut what can we do back\u2014back there 2\" ploaded tho old man, pitvously, visit 5L.to prisons, perbajs we will not ! eo 1id tl ÿ do back tro, \u2018What, indecd, but vit down Sus di uOL Bus
