Sin,\u2014If every growo up n au ia Montreal whose youth was made happy (evuu if his toes wi re made eon-) by snowshoe tramp* over the mountain, were to contribute a dollar, the Athletic Club House could be bought aud paid for.But if tbe mothers, sisters, wive* and sweethearts put their hearts into the work, for the love they bear the b«ye, it can be done quite ae well.Our brother enowehoers of Bt.George's Club possess a Club House all tboir own and.all for themselves, but the Athletic Club House is more like the common home of nil the sm-wshoe clubs it can a-.-coinmoJute and which conform to its moral code», and it is in thi» histone rendezvous, \"The Hill of Bn aw, \u2019 t'i« most convenient, c< if and e unfortabl* plAC * ! it* kind in tbe wholecountiy.Last winter I suggested in a l«tter t > the W\u2019lfner* that the ladle* should take hold of thi» difficulty, as they dll that of the 1 icro-*'-ground* ; but it is afact, tr.at a f w well im-An >ng men.boru of the M A.A A.desired to divert the tramp from Cote dei Neiges in a rcund about mountain tramp to the lacross-grounds at Cote Bf.Autoini\u2019.Tney might a* w«ll try to move the mountain to Lsohtno The more Montre*! grows, th« more popular must the ancient rendezvous b-om?for the wrekly tramps, and ten years from now the property of the Athletic Club House WILL DR DOC BLIP IN VALCI.Many jieopla tbaoght, too, that the young men should contribute largerauionut*.I imagiuo they would if they could, but \" Young Montreal \u2019* doe* hi* fair share in the money he gives, and specially in his time and enthusiasm.None of u* would desire such a blank in the life and interest of a Montreal winter as the annihilation of snowshoeing would produce.1 have no idea that the loss of the Club House w.uld seriously damage snowshoeing t>tr if, but I am positive from extensive personal ex pern-nee that it would most seriously in jure the snowsboers.We aresll, and none more than boys and young men, influenced by our surroundings.A pure moral atmosphere is even more important about our winter than our summer sports, because the temptation on cold nights, and after cold tramps, is increased tenfold.And it must bo remembered that ths Athletic Club House has not been conducted as a clcee corfioration to exclude the public, but that its privileges have been opened to the public as much as to the clubs.Unqufstimably, if its directors sold whiskey it would pay a hxudsomo return, and its loss is the gratitude wo intend to give them for their determination to keep, at least, one ! place free from this temptation ! Though I am an enthusiastic old lacrosse player I do not hesitate to declare that I believe the loss of our lacrosse grounds would be of ISriNITRLY LRSS moral and physical injury to the young men of Montreal than tbe loss of the Athletic Club House.Thanks to the generosity of the public, 1 believe these two splendid centres of Oanodiao physical development and national training will be preserved.A good many of us whose pockets sr» just now emptier than our hearts in tnis matter, and yet who feel that we served our generathn in the active part wo took in the past to p?rpetuate our outdoor sports, bel-ove that there is not a private family in Montreal where there are sons in which we should faU to find a family interest.No wise parent in this city of sin and saloon* willingly puts temptation into the fac?of his boys as a needed part of their discipline.No employer prefers an employee because he is au faU in \"American drinks.\" Some employers and corporations discard the highest testimonials if sn applicant is not a total abstainer.Even men who take liquor in moderation from habit do not despise a guest because he refutes it upon principle.I mention these fact* merely to show that it is not even fashionable to put temptation into the very face of young men, and tbat it is indred desirable tha?it should be taken a»» ay.I remember my early day*, when a snowshoe tramp to Cote de* Neiges end-\u2019i in an tll-n ght drunk among a number of the b->ys.stvsN or whom pud PBrNKtRpe, and two of whom are wandering about Montreal streets to day, incurable sot* ! Only a year be tore we occupied the Athletic Club House I *a-v boy* laugted and jeered at as they ordered hot en.' n»de at a liquor bar in Cote de < NVge*.I bave seen the bar room of the cn\u2019y place w-c u!d then occupy converted m'o a perfect hell by drunktu c»baen and Ioa\u2019-\u2018r», thr ugh which revelry the boys were compelled to pts».I have seen special cceasions commemorated there by wholesale drink* at the expense of thoughtless members and friends.I* this th?condition to which we must return Î How cculd parents and employeei then encourage their boys to indulge in th» healthy tramps whicn took in such infernal *urround-mg* ?Of all the cursed iniquities of the liquor traffic Heaven mutt surely hate tiat which puts temptation into tbe bauds of cur boy*.If we are sincere in our desire to make our young men manly, proud of their physiqu?, self-r.»-spectiug, enterpneing and patriotic, let u* help them to keep our Canadian national winter sport os pure as we have helped ttnm to keep lacrosse.Organize at once a la lies\u2019 provisional committee, chiefly among tbe !adie« who have helped th* boys b*f jre.Take th»- list of m»mb?re of the MA.A.A.There are names on it upon whim we can have no further claim, except it c mes voluntarily.But there are hunlrelsof the par-n'.s al J employers upon whom we have one of 1HR BIST POSSIBLI CLAIMS, the desire, not to make money by selling whi»-key, but to make an athletic home with a pure nr ra! atmosphere, yet where there is no restraint upon that innocent and rollicking fun which hardy snowshoe.r* enjoy.Many of U* gladly give our mite to noble ladies wfio cun va*s from bcuse to home by districts for our charitable and benevolent societies.Do you not think that a little army ol earnest aul per \u2022uasive ladies spread throughout our homes in Montreal would meet a ready welcome in a scheme to buy and pay for tbe Athletic Club House Î Then carry the canvass into oar bank.» and tbe business homes of rur boyi.And, lastly, when every effort ha* been male by the young men and the ladies, let us even dare to ask agsin any generous and just men of wealth And here I would suggest that some of our rich men might remember tbe Athletic Club House in their wills, and so have their memories kept green forever, even when the snow lies thick upon their grives.Let u* put thi* difficulty into the heart* and handsef She gentler sox, where we would be safer and wiser if we trusted most of our troubles.A* honest Paddy said, \u2022' share there's no men like a woman to get another man oat of trouble.\u201d\tB.The Canadian Society for th* Prevention of Cruelty to Anlixai* twga to acknosledge »Hb thank* receipt of the following tnhe'-ription* \u2014 J.II.Al an.|£ ;

but in the main, they were thought* of hopeful love toward Allan, and of grateful affection toward Mary.This visit to I\u2019itten loch had enabled her to mea»urc Mary 's singular beneficence and patience ; and she was almost glad that she waa able to prove her gratitude by a cheerful renunciation of hopes so dear and *0 purely personal.She knew then, if she had never before known the value of what had been done for her, and *he understood why David hud so resolutely put a»ide everything that would interfere with his mental culture.In such a mood, it was even easy to excuse his harshness, \u2018\u2018lie feared I would be a hindcrance to him, she thought ; \u201c and maybe, when a man is climbing out of ignorance iuto knowledge, he ought to be feared for hinderances, even though he like* them well.\u201d Mary Campbell, like most neople of a nervous temperament, had a quick sensitive oar.She heard Maggie's arrival and her step upon the stair long before M r*.I^eslio did.She was still confined to her bed, but she turned lier questioning eyes eagerly toward the door by which Maggie would enter.She camo in so brightly, and with such a happy light CP he» face, that Mary felt sure the journey had been a sücocsaful one.\u2022\u2022 In time, Maggie, after all ?she whispered, as Maggie kissed her.\u201c No, lie did not wajt for me but it is all right.\u201d \u201c Oh Maggie ! what a shame !\u201d \u201c Don\u2019t say that, Mies Campbell.He kept his word.He left me a letter.He is not to blame.No one is to blame.It will be all for the best.I am sure of that.\u201d \u201cNever call me Miss Campbell again, Maggie.I am Mary, your friend, your siiter Mary.Do you think I can forget those dreadful days and nights when you walked with me, as I went through the valley of the Shadow Î Though I could not speak to you I knew you were there Your hand, so cool, so strong, and gentle was what I clung to.On that last awful point of land, beyond which all was a black abyss, I clung to it.1 heard your voice when I had passed beyond all other earthly sounds.It was the one link left me between that world and this.Maggie ! Maggie ! You cannot toll how sorry 1 am about this broken tryst.\" \u201c You must not say that, dear.You must not talk any more.I have a letter that makes it all right.We w ill speak of it again when you are stronger.'\u2019 \u201c Yes, Maggie\u2014and I know\u2014-I know\u2014it is sure and certain to come right\u2014very soon, Mnggie.\u201d Indeed Mary hail arrived at a very char decision.As soon as she was able, she intended to w rito to Allan and bring him to Drumloch to meet Maggie.She would make a meeting for the lovers that should amply repay the one broken for her sake.She knew now, that as Allan had been in I\u2019ittenloch, ho had returned from America, and that he was still faithful to hi* love.She felt certain that there would he a letter from him among lier accumulated mail matter.Perhaps ho had even called at Drumloch.The next time she w as alone with Mrs.Leslie she asked it her cousin had been at Drumlo.'h yet.\u201c He was expected homo about this time,\u201d she said, \u201c ami I should not like him to he turned from the door, even if I am ill.\" \u201c 1 heard that he had gone to Kiga, Miss Campbell.Your uncle has been no just well, and it was thought to he the right thing for Mr.Allan to go and he company hame for him.There are letters nac doubt from baith o\u2019 them, hut you willna he let meddle wi\u2019 the like o\u2019 time things yet awhile.\" The winter set in early, and cold ; and Mary\u2019s recovery was retarded by it.At the beginning of November she had not left her own rooms.But at that time her seclusion was a most precautionary measure.She had regained much of her old sprightliness, and was full of plans tor the entertainments she intended to give as soon as she was perfectly well.\u201c I am going to introduce you to Glasgow society at the New Year, Maggie,\u201d she said ; \u201c and I can imagine the sensation you will cause\u2014the wonder\u2014the inquiries\u2014the inventions- -and tho lovers you will be sure to have !

It was the garden of the royal castle, and all had been weeplngand woe (though they were beginning uow to pick up their smiles again), and this was the reason why : the King of that country had died, and no one was left behind him but the ljuecn.Sho was a prize, I lan tell you, for not only was the kingdom hers, but she was as young as a spring apple and as pretty as a picture, so there wa* no end of those who came a-wooing.Even that day there were three Princes at the castle, ea< h one wanting the (Jucen for his own, and tho wrangling and bickering and squabbling that was going on were enough to deafen a body.The poor young (Jueen could stand it no longer, and so she had como out into the garden for a hit of rest, and there she sat under the shade of an apple tree, fanning herself and crying, when\u2014 Swssh! down fell the fiddler into the apple-tree, and down fell a dozen apples, popping and tumbling about the Queen's cars.Tho Queen looked up and screamed, and tho tiddler climbed down.\u201cFrom where did you come ?\u2019 sai l she.\u201cOh! Ill luck brought tne,\u201d said tho fiddler.\u201c Not so.\u201d said the Queen ; \u201cyou fell from heaven, for I saw it with my eyes and heard it with my ears.I see how it is now.You wore sent hero to he mv husband, and my husband you shall lie.\\ ou shall he King of this country, half and half with me as Queen, and shall «U ou the throne betide mo.\u201d You can guess whether or not that was music to the tiddler\u2019s ears.So the Princes were sent packing, and the liddh-r reigned in the country.Well, three or four days passed, and all was ns sweet aud happy a* a spring day.But at the end of that time the tiddler began to wonder what was to Ins seen in the castle.The Queen was very fond of him, and was glad enough to show him all the tine things that were to he seen ; so hand in hand they went everywhere, from garret to cellar, \u201c What is behind that door?\u201d said ho.\u201cAh, that,\" said the Queen, \u201c you must not a*k nor wish to know.Should you open that door, Ill-luck will be sure to overtake you.\u201d \u201c i\u2019ooh !\u201d said tho fiddler, \u201c I don't care to know, anyhow,\u201d and off they went, hand in hand.Oh yes, that was a very fine thing to say, hut before an hour had gone by the tiddler's head began to hum and buzz like a beehive.\u201cI don\u2019t believe\u201d he said \u201cthere would he a grain of harm in my peeping inside that door; all the same, I will not do it.I will just go down and peep through the key hole.\" So off he went to do as he said ; hut there was no keyhole to that door either.\u201cWhy\" look!\" lays be, \u201c it is just likcjtho door at the rich man s house over yourier.I wonder if it is the same inside as outside,\u201d and he opened the ¦! >or and pc.-pt-d in.Yea, there was the long p*a*.kge and the spark of light at the far eiii!, as though the sun were shining.He cocked his head to one side ami listened, \u201c Yr*,said he, \u201c I think 1 hear the water rushing, hut I am not smr.I will just g a lilt'*- further in and lis ten,\u201d and 10 he entered aud clos* I the door behind him.Well he went on ami on until he came to the further end, and l e'ore ho knew what he wat about pop!- he had stepped out upon the sea shore just a* he had d me liefore Whiz.!

desired to be heard.The request was granted and the Kev Mr.Perley then stated that they were deputed by a convention of Prohibitionists, held op Saturday, to urge the selection by the delegates of tbe (Jonnervative party of a can- _ didatu acceptable to tbe temperance electors, ^ The candidate placed ia the field by th* Li \u2022 berals WAS NOT BATISKAI\u2019TOBY to the friends of prohibition and ooald not be supported by them, aud unless tbe Conservatives gave them a consistent ami sound temperance man they would find it necessary to get a third candidate.After remarks by other members of the temperance delegation, the convention adjourned for au hour.Un re-assembling, the seventy-two delegates held a private eessiou and the balloting for a candidate was commenced.Two ballot» were taken, the result being that Mr.Rufus N.England, of Knowlton, was unanimously chosen.The announcement was greeted with cheers, and the numerous Conservatives who a moment later invaded the hall, enthusiastically called for the candidate elect.Mr.England then came forward and was greeted with rounds of applause.He thanked the convention for the honor done him, and promised to use his utmost efforts to faithfully servo the interests of tbe county.He then announced bin-self as a staunch temperance man, both by conviction and practice, and the cbeers with which the announcement was received showed tbe STRONG FEELING OF THE AUDIENCE in the matter.The tone of Mr.England\u2019s speech was strong evidence of his earnestness iu the cause of temperance.Short addresses were also trade by Messrs K.8.White, M.P., Geo.G.Foster and A.Mosher.The delegates of tbe Prohibition C invention having been informed of the result of the balloting returned to tbe hall, and their appearance was tbe signal for renewed cheers and applause.They heartily congratulated Mr.England and I ledgcil him their support.Mr.fi^ngland is a man about 30 years of age, a liie-lotw total abstainer and an adherent of tbe

INDIA.THE CUfBCU Of ENGLAND** WORK IN REACHING THEM.Tho Church of England Woman's Auxiliary Missionary Society met in the Synod Hall yesterday, Bishop Bond presiding.An extremely interesting psper on *' Oar woik in India, with special reference to Zenana Missions,\u201d was read.It touched upon the early history of tbe work, the first (fforta having been made by the Church of England through the H.P.C.K.ns early a»J 17W.The result of the work wa* a»| follows-.-Six dioceses, each having its bishop, and the diocese of Quinivelly, having two missionary bishops, with many thousands of converts.The paper described the position of woman in India\u2014as child, wife, mo:her and widow, pointing out the sorrows and wrongs she endured at each stage of her existence, and the sufferings to which, as a widow, she was subjected since the abolition of '* suttee\" iu 1833.There were now several Znnana missionary societies, with ]8t> schools, haviug acceis to the women\u2019s apartments of /enanas, beside hospital work, Bible women, and other agencies.It was tha Church of England Zenana Society that was considemd tbe one of greatest interest to the Women\u2019s Auxiliary, because it was to that society the brsnehea had contributed their offerings.This society employed 2.V> women in the iu«truotion of IJ.IOO pupils, and had an annual income of $100,000.It was proposed to have a board of examiners in Canada in connection with Ihnir society, who would rectmmrnd suitable young ladirs from tho Dominion for the foreign field, and il was much to le dosired that the persons selected should have a medical education.There nevrr was % lime of greater opportunity for woik in India than the present.Only the women aud money were needed.The Rev, Dr.Smyth delivered a lecture on

.on4 run to the militia, end would be un wUe.The dey before thi review G-d.Otter wm interviewed e« to tne forinati >n of e third corps in this city, and spoke approvingly of it.Toe idea is to have a corps made up of companies composed of persons engsge 1 in literary and ar fistic work, and there can be no doubt that if the Militia Drpartrr.eut pern.its the orgaui/atiou the material can easily be got together.The city is preud of its volunteer corps, two of which are already veteran*.It has spent a large sum on * site for * new drill shed, and will have to spend more to secure it.If the militia authorities are wise they will recognize this liberality by consenting to the removal of the ritle ranges from within the city limits.They have become exceedingly dangerous, and would be more so but for the fact that few people care to venture by boat across the range ol a loaded military rille.The city would gladly make a present of a new range to the volunteers, as they are making a present of the new drill shed site, but the militia are not yet in a mood to accept.The longer the matter it put off the more clearly it is seen that the shooting must be Btop|K-d sooner or later, and it would be the part of wisdom for the vuluotiers to oom.e to an amicable arrangement.THI K8PL*NAI>B (JUBSTION Has been advanced a stage by the virtually unanimous acceptance of the viaduct principle by the Hoard of Trade, the City Council and the Citizens\u2019 Committee.On the basis and strength of this acceptance the Dom'oion Privy Council will be asked to reconsider the whole question, and before long there will be another attempt made at Ottawa to arrive at a delinitu and permanent agreement between the city, the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific.This may not be an easy matter, but something must soon be done, and a fair compromise should not be impossible to find.It is hoped that one outcome of the improvement will be a better BI'IIUBBAIV RAILWAY HIBVICg than we now have.Visitors here, including Krastus Wiman, (peak approvingly of Toronto as a \" city of homes.\" If it is to remain so the \u2022' magniiiceot distances\" to be overcome must be as ueaily as possible annihilated by means of rapid transit.At present business men living in the outer parts of the city have to depend mainly on horse-oar service.The one we have is as good as is to be found anywhere, but it is too slow.From tho centre of the city to its outskirts anywhere consumes an hour or nearly so, whereas bslf that time, or much less shmud suffice.The Grand Trunk gives a suburban service east and west along its main line between York and Weston, and gives also a suburban service along the Hamilton branch between Toronto and Mimioo.Neither of them, however, is more than an apology for a suburban service, and therefore neither of them bas grown to be of much importance.The settlement of the KsnUnade question will enable the Canadian Pacific to enter into close rivalry with the Grand Tmnk for suburban paseenger traffic, and will also enable either the New York Central or the Michigan Central to compete for it if a branoh of either line in thrown into Toronto.Decentralizitien of re-¦idence depends largely on means of rapid transit, but nKOINTBALIZlTION OF BCBINLSfl can go on independently of railway development.Not long ago almost all the legal, notarial, stock taking, and land broking business of this city was csrried on within a few yards of the corner of King and Toronto streets.The congested state of this locality in the matter of business office accommodation has led to a change of more importance than appear on the surface.A few years ago the proprietors of the >\\fail building were considered guilty of an act of folly in erecting a large edifice so far west as the ooroer of King and Hay streets, but a short time proved the wisdom of their policy.Now, several other companies are following their example.The Board of Trade is putting a great deal of office accommodation in its fine building on the corner of Front and Yonge streets.The Wesley Pail lings, erected by the Methodist denomination on the site of the old Kichmond street Church, furnish a good deal of accommodation besides what is wanted for the book room and publication work.And now the Confederation Life Association is com mencing a splendid building on the corner of Yonge and Kichmond streets, a short distance north of the Yonge street Arcade.This means a great increase of such buzioesN done in Toronto, and it means more moderate rents near the old stand\u2014Toronto street.TUB 8IPARATK SCHOOL BOABP has vgvin been distinguishing itself with ragard to the ballot at Separate School elections.There can be little doubt that a clear majority of the Hoard of this city are in favor of secret voting, but there can be just as little doubt that several of those who favor the ballot will bn driven from the Hoard at the comiog School election by means of clerical influence, which can be and will be openly exercised against them.The Legislature is not likely to grant tho ballot until the Catholic laity show that they are favorable to it, and they cannot well show this so long as they must face the clergy at the polls, when- each onlooker knows how any man votes.A great majority of tho Roman Catholic laity would vote for the ball it if the Legislature conld find some means of taking a plebiscite secret vote.As matters stand nothing is likely soon to be accomplished, CNIVIRBITT FIIIIBATION is once more in the fire amongst tho Metho* dials.All efforts to arrive at a compromise set* tlennnt of tho question have failed, and the claim of Cobourg to retain Victoria University tbere is under trial at theassizrs.Whatever the issue there may be the case will be appealed to a higher court, and if it is deemed necessary to have further delay it will be still further appealed.Tbere does not appear to be now tbe slightest hop« of reaching a conclusion before the General Conference meets in September next, and as that body will be chosen largely with a view to the settlement of this very ques.tion the final outcome mnst be regarded aa very doubtful.If tbe advocates of an independent Methodist University m Toronto make good use of their time in securing subscriptions they may yet carry the Conference.Meantime both IMtrties are

Canadians in Chicago have organized an auxiliary of their own to help get the great ! world\u2019s fair located in that city, and havo sent the following rtqueet to the press of this coun* I tiyi- To the Preu, Publie M*n and People of Canal* : You are generally well informed on current events in this country, and are, of course, aware of the C ntest now going on here with reference to the location of the World's Fair, in which Chicago is lockug horns with New York, and making whst wo btlieve will prove to be a sue cvwvfnl endeavor to achieve vietcry.In view of the inHuenoe foreign opinion will hair upon Congress when the Question of tbe site is under consideration in Congress, we, as loyal Chicagoans (and Canadian American», re presenting a colony of -40,000, who atill take a deep interest in our native laud), feel that we should be serving all tbe interests involved by eliciting an opinion from Canada favorable t ( bioago's claims.Fr>m our point of view the Dominion should endorse Cbicsgo for several reaKiUk \u2014 First\u2014It is on the line of travel between the old province» and your own North We«t.Hocond\u2014It has for year» afforded Canadian breeders of choice live stock the only opportuni t ea vouchsafed them to exhibit tbeir stock before a national audience of American buyers and brf eders.Third\u2014Iti press ha« always treated Uoit*d States Canadian questions in a fairly impartial spirit The manner in which it vig iroiuly attacked the railway corporations which, through Congress, have endeavored to break up the pre-*>nt system of international traffic between the United States and Canada, led the Chicago Hoard of Trade to publicly declare that Chicago would not tolerate a policy of that sort.Tae Hoard's action in the premises reflected commercial sentiment here.Fourth\u2014The bolding of the World\u2019s Fair in Chicago would operate to bring not a few of the F.uropean sight seers, especially from the British Isles, throngh Canada, to Ihe great advantage o( the material interests of tbe Dominion.Fifth\u2014Chicago has a dozen Canadian societies ; New York boaats of none.Sixth\u2014The visiting Canadian could arrange to meet in Chicago old fnenda now living in the Western States.It would be ea»y to increase this liât, hut wh let the World's Fair Committee speak for itself in the circular enclosed, in which the claims of thia city of grand parks, megniffo«nt houlsrards, elegantly appointed betels (with unsurpassed accommodations), massive public buildings, giant buainras structure* and great convention halls, are succinctly and cogently statod.Let us assure the Canadians at home that, in the event of Chicago being selected (and all the indications point to that), our interest in Cana da and Canadians will not cease until the la«t bum of the machinery has been heard on tha grounds.We intend to prove effective instru meats in procuring a large amount of spacn for Dominion exhibits as well as a choice location in the great buildings.And it is our further intfntinn to open bureaus of information and club rooms, where visitors from the land of fie maple leaf can be met and entertained.And now we ask you to endorse Chicago.Let ns have Canada with us.(Signed), T.Z.Maoarbbl, Pres., H.K.Moffat, Secy., For Exec.Com, J, P.Jaffrat, J.Fbanoib Lhk, Coml.Agent O.P.K.O.L.Shaw, Chairman Chicago Com.C.Traf.Asan.J.J.Hvrnb,
