he became positively anxious that Miss Harman should not commit herself ; he felt a nervous fear as each word dropped from her lips ; he saw that she spoke in the extremity of despair.How could he stop the words which told too much ?He was relieved when the thought occurred to him to ask her to meet him again\u2014again when they both were calmer.She had consented, and he found himself advising her, as he would have advised his own dear daughter had he been lucky enough to have possessed one.He promised her that nothing, nothing should be done until they met again, and so afraid was he that, in his interview that evening with his niece, Mrs.Home, he iLight be tempted to drop some word which might betray ever so little that other Charlotte, that instead of going to Tremins Hoad as he had intended, he wrote a note excusing himself and putting off his promised visit until the follow ing evening.CHAPTER XL.CHARLOTTES PLEA.Yf^forthe working cla««.Bend 18ra M 1.1 Jin /.ont, for postage, and we will mail you free, a royal, valuable box of sample goods that will put you in the way of making more money in a few day* that you ever thought possible at any business.Capital not required.We will start you.You can work all the time or in spare time only.The work ia universally adapted to both sexe», young or old.You can easily earn irom 50 cents to $5 every evening.That all who went work may te»t the business, we make this unparalleled offer ;

Sandy never dreamed that Daisy would or could die, but in thinking of her he believed her to be a widow.That husband, so old when he went away, must be dead.On his arrival in England, Sandy went down into Hertfordshire.He visited the place where he had last seen his sister, it was in the hands of strangers\u2014sold long ago.No one even remembered the name of Harman.Then be met little Daisy Home, and learned quite by acci dent that bis Daisy was dead, aud that the pretty child who reminded him of her was her grandchild.He went to visit Charlotte Home, and there made a fresh discovery.Had his Daisy been alive she would have wanted far more from his well-filled puree than horses and carriages.She would have needed not the luxuries of life, but the necessities.He had imagined her rich, while she had died in poveity.She had died poor, and her child, her only child, bore evident marks of having met face to face with the sorest of ail want, that which attacks the gently born.Her face, still young bnt sadly thin and worn, the very look in her eyes, told this fact to Sandy.Yes ; his pretty Daisy, whom he bad imagined so rich, so bountifully provided for, bad died a very poor and struggling woman.Doubtless this sad and dreadful tact bad shortened her days.Doubtless but for this monstrous injustice she would be alive now, ready to welcome her long-lost brother back to his native land.Ail that night Sandy Wilson lay awake.He was a hale and hearty man, and seldom knew what it was to toss for any time on his pillow ; but so shocked was be, that this night no repose would visit him.An injustice had been done, a fraud committed, and it remained for him to find out the evil thing, to drag it to light, to set the wronged right on»e more.Charlotte Home was not at all the character he could best understand.She was not in the least like her mother.She told the tale of her wrongs with a strange and manifest reluctance.She believed that a fraud had been committed.She was tally persuaded that not her long-dead father but her living half-brothers were the guilty parties.In this belief Sandy most absolutely shared.He longed to drag these villains into the glaring light of justice, to expose them and their disgraceful secret to the shameful light of day.But in this longing lie saw plainly that Charlotte did not share.He was pn/.zled, scarcely pleased that this was so.How differently little Daisy would have acted had she been aliv-t Dear little innocent Daisy, who all alone could do nothing, wonld in bis strong presence have grown so brave and fearless.She would have put the case absolutely and once for all into his hands.Now this her daughter did not seem disposed to do.She said to him, with most manifest anxiety, \u201c You will do nothing without me.You will do nothing until we meet again.\u201d This he had promised readily enough, for what could he do in the short hours which roust elapse between now and tnetr next meeting ?As be was dressing, however, on the following morning, a sodden idea did occur to him, and on this idea he resolved to act before he saw Charlotte at six o\u2019clock in the evening, He would go to Somerset House aud see Mr.Harman\u2019s will.What Daisy first, and now Charlotte, had never thought of doing during all these years, he wonld do that very day.Thus he would gain certain and definite information.With this information it would be comparatively easy to know how best to act.He went to Somerset House.He saw tbe will ; he saw the greatness of tbe robbery committed so many years ago ; he saw and he telt a wild kind of almost savage delight in the fact that he conld quickly and easily set the wrong right, for he was one of the trustees.He saw all this, and yet\u2014and yet\u2014he went away a very unhappy and perplexed man, for he had seen something else \u2014he had seen a woman\u2019s agony and despair.Sandy Wilson possessed the softest soul that had ever been put into a big body.When at last Ihe time drew near for him to bend his steps in (lie direction of Somerset House he had by no means made up his mind how toai t His sympathies were still with Miss Hannan Her face had haunted him all night long ; but he felt that every sense of justice, every sense of right, called upon him to befriend Mrs Home.His dearly loved dead sister seemed to call to him from her grave and to ask him to rescue those belonging to her, to give again to these wronged ones what was rightfully theirs.In any case, seeing the wrong as he so plainly did, he would have felt called upon to take his sister\u2019s part in tbe matter.But as circumstances now stood, even had Mrs.Home been no relation to him whatever, he still must act for her and lier alone.For was he not the other trustee ?and did not the very law of the laud of his birth demand that be should see that the terms of the will were carried out ?He arrived at the square of So'-ierset House, and found Miss Harman waiting for him.She came up to him at once and held oui her hand.His quick eye detected at a glance that she was now quite calm and collected\u2014that whatever she might have done in the first agony of her despair yesterday, to day she would do nothing to betray herself.Strange to say, he liked her far less well in this mood than he had done yesterday, and his heart and inclination veered round again to his wronged niece and her children with a sense of pleasure and al most triumph.They began to walk up and down, and Miss Harman, finding her companion silent, was tbe first to speak.\u201c You asked me to meet you here to.day.What do you want to say to me?Qood heavens 1 was she going to ride the high horse over him in this style Sandy\u2019s small eyes almost flashed as he turned to look at her.\u201cA monstrous wrong has been, Miss Harman,\u201d he answered.\u201c I have come to talk about that.\u201d \u201c I know,\u201d replied Charlotte.\u201c I have thought it all out.I know exactly what has been done.My grand-father died and left a sum of twelve hundred a year to my\u2014to his wife.He left other moneys to my father and his brother.My father and his brother, my uncle, disregarded the claims of the widow and the orphaned child.They appropriated the mjney \u2014they\u2014stole it\u2014giving to ray grandfather\u2019s widow a small sum during her life, which sum they did not even ullow to be retained by her child.\u201d \u201cThat is pretty much the ease, young lady.You have read the will with tol erable accuracy.\u201d \u201c I do not known in the least how the deed was done,\u201d continued Charlotte \u201c How such a crime could he committed and yet lie hidden all these years remains a terrible and mysterious thing to me.But that it was doue, 1 can hut use my own eyes in reading my giarid-father\u2019s will to see \u201d \u201c It was done easily enough, Miss Harman.They though the other trustee was dead.Your father and his brother were false to their trust, and they never reckoned that Sandy Wilson would come back all alive and blooming one fine morning\u2014Sandy, whose duty it is to see this great wrong put right.\u201d \u201cYes, it is your duty,\u201d said Charlotte.She grew very white ; her eyes sought tbe ground, and she was silent.\u201cIt is my most plain duty,\u201d repeated Wilson, shuftiing with his great feet as he walked by her side.\u201c I should like to know what steps you mean to take,\u201d continued Charlotte, suddenly raising her eyes to his4face.\u201cStepsl Good gracious ! young lady, I have not had time to go into the law of the thing.Besides, I promised to do nothing untill we met again.Bnt one thing is plain enough, and obvious enough\u2014my niece, that voting woman who might have been rich, but who is so poor\u2014that young woman must come in for her own again.It is three and-twenty years since her father died.She must receive from your father that money with all back interest for the last three-and-twenty years.That means a goodish bit of money, I can tell you.\u201d \u201c I have no doubt it does,\u201d replied Charlotte.\u201c Mrs Home shall have it all.\u201d \u201c Well' I hope so, young lady ; and soon, too.It seems to me she has had her share of poverty.\u201d \u201c She has had, as you say, her share of that evil.Mr.Wilson,\" again raising her eyes to his face, \u201c I know Mrs.Home.\u201d \u201c Yon know her ?You know ray niece Charlotte personally ?She did not tell me that.\u201d \u201c Yes, I know her.I should like to see her now.\u201d \u201c You would?I am surprised ! Why ?\u201d \u201c That I might go down on my knees to her.\" \u201c Well, good gracious 1 young lady, I supposed you might feel sorry, but I did not know you would humble yourself to that extent.It was not your sin.\u201d \u201c Hush ! It was my father\u2019s sin.I am his child.I would go lower than my knees\u2014I would lie on the ground that she might walk over me, if tbe better in that position I might plead for mercy.\u201d \u201c For mercy ?Ay, that\u2019s all very well, but Charlotte must have her rights.Sandy Wilson must see to that.\u201d \u201c She shall have her rights ! And yet I would see her if I could, and if I saw her I would go on my knees and plead for mercy.\u201d \u201c I don\u2019t understand you, Miss Harman.\u201d '\u2022 I do not suppose you do.Will you have patience with me while I explain myself?\u201d « I have come here to talk to you and to listen to you,\" said Wilson.\u201c Sir, I must tell you of my father, that man whom you (and I do not wonder) consider t>o had\u2014so low ! When I read that will yesterday\u2014when I saw with my own eyes what a fraud hart been committed, what a great, great evil had been done, I felt in ray first misery that 1 almost hated my father I I said to myself,1 Let him be punished 1\u201d I would helped yon then to bring him to punishment.I think you saw that ?\u201d \u201c I did, Miss Harman.I can see as far throngh a stone wall as most people.I saw that you were a bit stunned, and I thought it bnt fair that you should hare time to calm down.\" \u2018You were kind to me.You acted as a good man and a gentleman.Then I scercely cared what happened to my father ; now I do.\u2019 hy, ay, young lady, natural feelings must return.I am very sorry for you.\u2019 \u2018Mr.Wilson, I hope to make you yet more sorry.I must tell you more.When I saw you yesterday I knew that my father was ill\u2014I knew that he was in appearance an old man, a broken-down man, a very unhappy man ; but since I saw yon yesterday I have learued that he is a dying man\u2014that old man against whom 1 hardened my heart so yesterday is going fast to judgment.The knowledge of this was kept from me, for my father so loved me, so guarded me all my life, that he could not bear that even a pin\u2019s point of sorrow could rest upon me.After seeing you yesterday, and leaving you, I visited some poor people who, not knowing that the truth was hidden from me, spoke of it as a well-known fact.I went away from them with my eyes opened.I only wondered they had been closed so long.I went away, and this morning I did more.I visited one of the greatest aud cleverest doctors in Loudon.This doctor, my father, unknown to me, had for some time consulted.I asked him for ids candid opinion on my father's case.He gave it to me.Nothing can save my father.My father must die ! But he told me more ; he said that the nature of his complaint was such that any shock must instautly kill him.He said without the shock he would live for months ; not many months, but still for a few.Hearing this, I took the doctor still further into my confidence.I told him a wrong had been committed\u2014that during my father\u2019s lifetime that wiong could not be set right without his knowledge.1 said that he must know something which would disgrace him.His answer was this : \u2018As his medical man, I forbid him to know ; such a now ; such a knowledge will cause certain and instant death.\u2019 \u201d Charlotte paused.Wilson, now deeply interested, even appalled, was gazing at her earnestly.\u201c I know Charlotte Home,\" continued Miss Harman , \u201c aud, as I said just now, I would see her now.Yes, she has longed for money ; she lias been cruelly wronged\u2014most cruelly treated 1 Still, I think, if I pleaded long enough and hard enough, she would have mercy ; she would not hurry that old man to so swift a judgment ; she would spare him for those few.few months to which his his life is now limited.It is for those months I plead.He is a dying man.1 want nothing to be done during those months.Afterward\u2014afterward I will promise, I will if necessary sign any legal paper you bring to me,that all that should have been hers shall be Charlotte Hume\u2019s\u2014I restore it all ! Oh, how swiftly and how gladly ! All 1 plead for are those few months.\u201d Wilson was silent.Charlotte suddenly looking at him almost lost her self-ccntrol.\u201c Must I go down on my knees to you, sir?I will if it is necessary.I will here\u2014even here do so, if it is necessary.\" \u201cIt is not, it is not, my dear Miss Harman.I believe you ; from my soul 1 pity you ! I will do what I can.I can\u2019t promise anything without my niece\u2019s permission ; but 1 am to see iter this evening.\u201d \u201cOb, if you plead with her, she will have mercy ; for I know her\u2014I am sure of herl Oh 1 how can 1 thank you?\u2014 how can I thank you both ?\" Here some tears rose to Charlotte\u2019s eyes, and rolled fast and heavily down her cheeks.She put up her handkerchief to wipe them away.\u201c You asked me to cry yesterday, but I could not ; now I believe I shall he able,\u201d she said almost a smile.\u201c God bless you 1\u201d Before Wilson could get in another word she had left him, and, hurrying through the square, was lost to sight.Wilson gazed after her retreating form ; then he went into Somerset House, and once more long and carefully studied Mr.Harman\u2019s will.custom was the means of fostering and increasing the drinking habits ot many who would not otherwise indulge so freely.Some indeed refused to sign it lest they should expose themselves to ridicule, by embarking in the \u2018forlorn hope,' but it seems to me that their conduct, if excuseable, is certainly not worthy of imitation.Had tbe great and good of all ages been acuated by such uu worth y motives, where would have been the glorious reforms, which, from time to time have been brought about?And so.with some hopes and many prayers, the petition was forwarded to their destinations.Mark the result :\u2014The following week behold the representative of one,at least, ot these generous houses, entering the town in state, propelled by four, indstead of two horses,and as he nears the village, report has it, that he seizes a bottle in each hand and loudly proclaims that \u201cthis is the effect of petitions.\" I do not know that the carrying capacity of the other team has been increased, but 1 do know that his well known face aud form may be frequently, and I think regularly seen upon his accustomed \u2018round of duty.\u2019 Ah ! well, tbe kind old man, of spelling book repute, telt grieved and hurt that his geutle remonstrance had been so utterly disregaided, but history does not record that be was utterly hopeless, far from it ; well he knew that there were grand uutired resources yet to be developed, aud as he cast about for the most effective within Ids reach, it did not greatly disturb him that the poor misguided hoy appeared to lie doubting his diligence to gather up the finit.And so it comes about that the good pec pie of Hatley sit down quite complacently, while these brave men, as yet, continue to go forth on their errands of mercy and peace.East Hatley, July 23rd.P.S.\u2014Since writing the above I have learned that another grand move in the right direction has tteen made by the Champion Temperance Worker, of Hatley, Mr.B.Le Barron.The forbearing \u2018old man' above alluded to, is approaching the point where \u2018patience ceases to be a virtue and so alone and unaided this brave warrior goes forth to battle for the right.May God bless his efforts.I ( To be Continued.) THE W.0.T.U.COLUMN.Alchohal and Insurance.Investigation has recently brought out some exceedingly interesting facts regarding Lite Insurance and Temperance practice.Several companies have lor over thirty years past insured moderate drinkers and total abstainers in separate sections, and according to the strict stern logic of fascerlained facts have made out averages entitling abstainers to bonuses of 20 to 25 percent over mod-erate drinkers.The comparison does not take into account so called drunkards\u2014 such are not accepted by the wise insurance authorities.The distinction being made is (all other things being equal) simply between moderate users, and those who take no aicholic drinks, and the exact comparative results presented ; not made out iu the first place with a design of favoring any temperance theory or dogma, but purely as a matter of business.At the same time, as corroborative testimony, the significent tacts are worthy of being taken into serious consideration.Not only are the averages of various years of iudividual companies, hut several companies, and different countries, with but little variation and without any exception, give results substantially similar, amply confirming be yond all peradventure, the truth which enlightened Science had asserted\u2014\u201cthat alcbohol is the enemy of life.\u201d It is sometimes said that the financial bearing should be considered sufficient to vindicate, and often that the moral consideration ought to lead to the practice of total abstinence, and here is a view essentially vital emanating from shrewdly conducted business institutions of different countries, including over a hun dred thousand policies in the societies, making these distinctions: all of which report that deaths in the general, so far exceed those in the total abstinence section, as to entitle the abstainers to the largely more favorable terms.Sure.Iy it is not for those whom it may con ceru to ignore such plain lessons of business prudence, dealing with strictly audited accounts and founded on a well confirmed law of average.Here then comes a strong appeal to common attachment to life\u2014highly commending total abstinence in place of so-called \u2018moderate drinking.\u201d\u2014Selected from Home and School.And now as \u2018our column\u2019 is not full, permit me, Mr.Editor, to give your readers a sketch from real life : Some time ago itoccured to the people of Hatley that it might be well to ac.quaint the brewers of Sherbrooke of the tact that the visits of their beer teams in tbe town were anything but agreeable to a majority of the people.Accordingly the W.C.T.Union, ever ready to risk personal defeat or disgrace for the sake of possible good, obtained the signatures of about four hundred (400) people, including men, women\u2019aud children of an understanding age.These petitions, two in number, w»*re addressed, one to each of the rival firms, asking and praying them as gentlemen and good citizens to desist from this wretched practice which was causing so much ruin aud disgrace, which was causing so many anxious wives and mothers to dread the approach of tbe fatal day in eveiy week which heralded the coming of the \u2018beer cart.\u2019 Among the number who signed the petition were a large share of the most influential men and women in the town, who sincerely felt that this wretched Nolid 4o in fort Every one likes to take solid comfort and it may be enjoyed by everyone who keeps Kidney-Wort in the house aud takes a few doses at tbe first sjmptoms of an attack of Malaria, Rheumatism, Biliousoees, Jaundice or any affection of the Liver, Kidneys or Bowels.It is a purely vegetable compound of roots, leaves and beiries known to have special value in kidney troubles Added to these are remedies acting directly on the liver and Bowels.It removes the cause of disease aud fortifies tbe system against new attacks.Measuring Standing Grain.An officer in the English navy has constructed a table lor estimating, with all needtul accuracy, tbe amount of wheat on an acre of laud, before it is harvested.The estimate can be made as soon as the grain is ripe.Make a wood or iron frame one yard squaie, carefully let it down over the standing grain, and then shell and weigh all the grain on the straws belonging inside that frame.If a circular \u2018crop form,\u2019 as he calls it, is more convenient, make it six feet nine and a quarter inches in diameter, of half inch iron.From his elaborate table, as published in the Dublin Farnur\u2019s Gazette jsrv extract the following : 2\tounces per sqr.yard equals 10:08 bushels per acre.2$ ounces per squr.yard equals 12.60 bushels per acre.2\\ ounces per sqr.yaid equals 13:86 bushels per acre.3\tounces per sqr.yard equals 15.12 bushels per acre.3J ounces per sqr.yard equals 17.65 bushels per acre.4\tounces per sqr.yard equals 20.17 bush-els per acre.5\tounces per sqr.yard equals 25 21 bushels per acre.5^ ounces per sqr.yaid equals 29.00 hu-h-els per acre.6\tounces per sqr yard equals 30 25 bush- els per acre.7\tounces per sqr.yard equals 35 29 bush- els per acre.8\tounces per sqr.yard equals 40 33 bush- els per acre.These estimates arc on the liases of 60 lbs.per bushel.The 2} ounces per sqr.yard is about the average yield of wheat per acre in America ; the 5j ounces per square yard is the average iu Gorat Britain.Our\tNllk IndaMtry is prosperous.The great difficulty to he contended with is the low grade of goods required.In nothing is this more apparent than in the comparatively small article of sewing silks.The great demand in Canada seems to he for cheap quality, buyers forgetting that a cheap thread must necessarily be a fine A con sequently a weak one.Messrs.Belding, Paul k Co.make three grades of spool silk ; of these different qualities the poorest one has by lar the largest sale, at the same time they constantly hear of complaints of poor sewing silk.If ladies will take the trouble to ask for Belding Paul k Go\u2019s own brand, and see that their name is on each end of each spool, they will he sure of getting the best made.tt.In a Worse Fix.Old General stapluke, a well-known tlemau of Arkansaw, appiwached the preme Justice the other day, and, aftet -ing the Judge in his millitary way, sai> \u201cJudge.1 am greatly in need of m* My health is very had and 1 am Uriah work.In fact I don't think that l am ) to live very long.Now, 1 want you to me a thousand dollars lor a year.\u2014 1 dr desire to give security, as 1 want thi-a transaction between two friends The Judge reflected fora moment said : \u201cYou say,General, you want the m for a year ?Suppose you die before the in is refunded, what would become of me \u201cThat is not the question, my dear J What would become of me is the que If 1 die before the money is ri a worse fix than you, aud you cause for complaint,\" \u201c That's a fact,\u201d replied the .a cheque tor the money.\u2014 / Engineers\u2019 Superstitions.A cat crossed the track, the ot whistled \u201c down brakes,\" and t! off and rubbed himself aud th rail with a rabbit's foot.\u201cYou may regard it as fooli said, as we again flew along, \u201c l Boo I know.It 1 hadn't soon ill: we would have had an accident 1 time.There was a time when 11, at it, hut I have learned Is tu r.time ago a cat crossed the track i of me.My fireman liegged mo and let him rub the rail, but I I at him.He vowed that we shou an accident, and, sir, lioforo wo h.fivo miles further, the engine the track and did considéra!do d I hardly escaped being killed, an then 1 have carried a rabbit When six white cats ci nothing can prevent a calami! is, if tho engineer keeps on, b gets off everything may lie all i \u201c Do the conductors believe rabbit-foot theory ?\u201d \u201cMany of them do.Some man hoots at the idea, but after lie is convinced, and gets bin On some roads an owl claw is n and still on others nothing Iml end of a coon\u2019s tail will answer.\u2019 \u201c How is this discovery niude \u201c Always by the oldest c When a now road is built, tli engineer on the line can determ i to use.Tlie more dangerous t tho scarcer are the charms, one road iu Mississippi whci ing hut a pi»\u2018Co of tiger -answer.In consequence dents are very frequent mine ran on the road aud accident.He went to the tr! 1 k t lus Mixed Train.On some of the western roads they attach a passenger car to a freight train, and call it \u201cmixed.\u201d It isn\u2019t in the order of things that such trains should travel very rapidly, and sometimes there is considerable growling among tbe traffic.\u201cAre we most there, conductor ?\u201d asked a nervous man for a hundreth time.\u201cRemember, my wife is sick, and I am anxious.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ll get thereon time,\u201d replied tbe conductor stolidly.Half an hour later the nervous man approached him again.\u201cI guess she\u2019s dead now,\u201d said he mournfully, \u2018 but I'd give you a little something extra, if you couhi manage to catch up with tbe funeral.Maybe she won't be so decomposed but what I would recognize her?\u201d Tbe conductor growled at him, and the man subsided.\u2018 Conductor,\" said he after an hour\u2019s silence, \u201cConductor, if the wind isn\u2019t dead ahead, I wish you would put on some steam.I\u2019d like to see where my wife is buried before the tombstone crumbles to pieces !
