Tho extra cost, if Apything, must be small.Tho convenience would bo great aud desirable.Every facility of inter and outer communication should bo made available, and feel ibat It is only necessary to draw tho attention of th** Government to tho fact that tdn commercial Interests of tho cities of Montreal and (Quebec require mail» to bo sent by this train, to ensure *>ur getting the boon wo ask for granted.Though tho matter is not one which belongs to the Hon.Mr.Caron\u2019s department, wo feel sure that on seeing this notice ho will lie only too happy to lielji his constituents, by bringing the

Bay, upon which France b&s a navsl station under penal colony, narrowly escaped recently a tragedy of the most appalling character.A abort despatch concerning it ws-printed on Wednesday, but further informadoa received shows that la*t winter the Governor of tho island.Count do St.Phalle.materiallv relaxed tho discipline of those who Usd 1 e?n committed to the prisons under his diro'-tion.Ho went so far that tho bettor behiv.-l conviots were permitted to givo theatrical ;-.»r-romance- in tho prononça of tho townspeople.A favorite actor was one Condon, who is said to bo a member of a wealthy family of South-ru France.Growing insolent because of tho lenity with which ho was treated he would have ran an officer through, but for tho timely arrival of some gensd'arni\" who came to tho a*sistanc» tho man whose orders Condon had refined g obey.Ho was put under arrost, and on the 2nd\u2019 of last month was sentenced to dea'it.Still no restrictions were put upon th?other prisoners, nor wa* their liberty in aay wav abridged by reason of tho mutiny of ono of their number.Most of them who had recorJi of good conduct were permitted to go out into the citv.and during certain hours of tha >1ar wen- perfectly free.This left them ample tints and opportunity for tho concoction of any plan of libetatlon lor themselves that might appear feasible.At first their idea was to liberate Condon.but they soon conceived tho purpose of freeing tho entire convict colony.To do this they contemplated plunder, arson and murder as preliminary steps, it was soon arranged that one party should select two vessels adapt 1 tor their purposes, which could beeasily unmoore !.while their owners nttd crew would have tvea drawn off bv lire and commotion in tho citv.Another was charged with procuring atH getting ready for immediate sbiptn-ut th' neces-ary provisions and outfit for a »«\u2022* voyage.Tito most desperate of the gsti were selected for hurrying into ct?ratty the Governor ana tho other prominent otticDH of the island.t\u2018u a fourth party rested the duty of seizing tho arm» and ammunition from the arsenal and artnorv.A fifth wa» t» set re to the town, which is compos, d

and here Jock would stretch himself beside it, outside the chancel window, hearing from time to time his master a voice within, anül the service was ended, and he \u2022 ame cut again to walk back with Jock to the desolate home.It wa.desolate no longer, hi.chosen '\u2022empanion and wife was thire, and yet he could not neglect the lonely grave on this first night of hi.' return to it.It was quite plain that Jock hai no fault to find with :he change at the »i.arag>*.He was UrBe.hearted.and oonld take in many objects of secondary love, his devotion and wor«hip being reserved fer hi.master.His memory was fuU of loving recollection of every servant or guest who had cnee dwelt under the vicarage rcof.He seemed never to forget a face or a vcice.Mrs.Cbureh-ll was proud of him, and after her fiftehicn wa* fond of him.Her io?e had always pride for its foundation.S^e was extravagantly proud of her husband, ox his repute aé a naturalist, his good family and his good leeks, of his popularity in his country pariah, and even of the very godliness and de-voutness with which he fulfilled his daily Ufe and the duties of his office.The humble lit there should he any cherished thing in common between her husband and Jock in which she could have no .hare.\t.This was the tiny rift in the lute, which could henceforth breathe no perfect harmony.How could .he pul her pain into words t hven to her own heart, so subtle and imperceptible it was, .he could not give s.shape to the haunting, vexing shadow.The little marble ctohs giew faintly displeasing to her : it could ha »»cn from >-no of the window, iuher husbanj .study-a pure white object against the gray old wall of the church ;

MOLLY : A SKETCH IN THREE TONES.When first I entered the room it seemod to me that I was confronted by a thick veil of darkness ; but when my pupil», contracted by the fierce glare of the July sun out fide, had beet me accustomed to tho sudden change, I perceived that a subdued light, proceeding from three carefully curtained windows, dimly illuminated the apartment.I advanced cautiously.threading my way amongst the quaint and oddly-disposed furniture, until I slipped into the little nook where her ladyship reclined on a soft, luxurious divan.She was almost walled up between a huge black cabinet, and sonic curiously carved shelves filled with saucers of antique china, ueh of which stood with one side against the wall, so as to form a little iquare chamber within the large draw-ing-rocm.This corner was just big enough to contain the divan, a small, low ottoman, and a tiny table, cn which lay a buttercup with a long stalk, l y the side of a slender vase in which had been placed a spray of white currants, the stem and leaves straggling high in the air, whilst three or four bunches of the transparent fruit hung over the edge of the gbi**-\t.\t.Lady de Burgh was lying back amongst deep red cushions, with listless hands clasped round her knee#, and contemplating tho vase of currants with the rapture of one who has discovered a profound secret.She was a woman whose age it was difficult to guess, and whose height'and figure could not be divined from the obscurity of the room, the nature of her apparel, and her lounging attitude.She was very pale, and her features, though hardly beautiful, were refined.She wore no ornaments, not even on her long white fingers, save her wedding ring\u2014and on her head her sole adornment was her soft, dark-brown hair, which .eemed to cling simply about her in short, dainty waves, without eithor plait or Sarting.She was arrayed in a pale-green rese, with a good deal of old and very yellow lace about it : it sat loosely round her neck and wrists, and though her elbows and knees were sharply defined, her waist remained unmarked benind the straight and single fold of her silken garb.\t, _ » * i.- u It must not be supposed that I ook in all these facts at a glance.I observed them gradually as I sat by Lidy de Burgh\u2019s side on the divan, whither she motioned me.** I am very glad to see you, \u2019 sfie said, in a low, melancholy voice.\u201c I believe I have not seen yon since the day of my marriage, and you were such a rough boy then !\" \u201c I hope I am not ft rough man, I said, trying to moderate my voice.\" I was only fifteen then, and it is twenty years ago.You went abroad, and before yon came back I had gone to India.\"\t, » *\u2022 Ah ! vou must have found India very Sing,\u201d she remarked.\u201c But life is a dreary air to all\u2014always desire and never frm* tien.\" m But surely yon have no carso to oom-plait,\" I ventured to remonstrate.\" Sir John is nch and successful, aod I understand you have a charming daughter.\" She shivered slightly.\u201c My daughter u a shepherdes.\u201d she said, \u201c a mere shepherdess.I do my best for her, but she is a mere shep-herdess.She is entirely her father\u2019s child, like him negatively and affirmatively.Would you believe it ?\u2014she even ridicules my cur-rants !
