Dean Sin, \u2014Observing, in your issue of the 10th, a paragraph concerning tbe election in this county, which might mislead 1bose unacquainted with the facts, I would beg to say that Mr.Colby was elected by the unpurchased votes of the electora of this county, notwithstanding the efforts of paid writers, speakers, and agents, in behalf of his opponent ; and the open and shameless use of mouey in buying votes.As to intimidation being used by Mr.Oolby or bis friends, we frst hear of it from this paragraph, .We allow that \u2018 the proceedings of this election require sifting to the very bottom\u201d; for, should it be shown that men in high places in the Government\u2014from whom we expect better things\u2014do not scruple to use the people's money in bribery and corruption, to secure the return of the candidates of their choice, against the will and voice of the people, the eyes of many wight be opened, and something done before it is too late to rescue the country from an impending oligarchy.8.Hatley, Sept.12.{The paragraph above referred to was a telegraphic despatch, evidently penned by a partisan of the Conservative side.~Eo.] EXPLANATION (To the Editor of the Witness.)

Another jpeaker from the States gave bis opinion, as the result of extended observation, that boys who used tobacco in any form were far inferior in mental capacity to those who did not use it.He had twice tried tbe experiment of employing bree boys about the same age, and at the same business : one of whom used liquor, the second tobacco freely, and the third neither.Aud be had found in each experiment the boy who used tobacco, the slowest, dullest, and ugliest of the three, and tbe total abstainer by far the most successful.Even wben beblod the others to begin with, he soon passed them.Boys who use tobaceo do themselves much harm, ng well as those who drink.The meeting was closed as usual, with an invitation to sign the pledge, followed by prayer and the benediction, CANADA ECOLESIASTICAL NEWS.Cawana Parsaytentan\u2014Rer.R.Jamieson, missionary at Westminster, British Columbia, writes, asking that another missionary be seut there, 30 that be can proceed to Nanaimo, \u2014 The Rev, J.Carswell has received a call from the congregations of Beckwith and Ashton, the stipend guaranteed being $620.\u2014\u2014The Rev.A.O.McDonald bas received a call from Thames.\u2014The Rev.ii.Bauld hasreceived a call from the congregation of Warwick, tbe stipend being $500 with mange\u2014\u2014The Rav.W.C.tions of Norwool and Hastiogs.\u2014\u2014The Rev.tor of tbe congregation at Stratbroy.\u2014\u2014Rar.4 ford, the stipend promised $700 with manss, ;

men whose special trainiog bad been for brain work, now gaining a livelinood by tue sweat of theic brow.At the formation of the Miaisterial Union in Sap Prancisco, somewhat more than a yesr ago, | by pastors represeoting eight or nine evangelcal | denominations, the very first question discussed \u2014and they discussed 11 for (wo monthe\u2014was, | How shell we reach the masses?The result was a determiustion to bold & series of protracted meetings and to send to the Atlantic Sutra for au evangelist.\u201c They telegraphed tw me,\u201d said Mr.Earle, \u201cI went three miles to consult with De, Kirk oo the matter.\u2018God is evidently in this, be replied.Iprayed, and as I rose from my knees | said, \u2018I am going.\u2019 \u201d 1a Sen Francisco the two largest halls were sepured, one accommodating 2,000, tbe other 3,500.These were filled.Here he preached some seventy times.The different denominations worked together in utmost barmony, and nearly a thousand were gathered to Christ, From here he passed up to a mining district, where one pastor bad charge of six churches.Every body, miners and all, were ready to come out to the meetings.He thence weot to Oakland, important as an educational centre, having a college, seminary, and schools.Youth were bere from sll sections, making it one of the most interesting points on the Pacific coast.Thirty of the boys in one school were converted.His next appointment was at Stockton, where the displays of God's grace were the richest he bad ever sean.Here an infidel physician, who bad secretly surrendered bia infidelity four years before, when he saw all denominations working together in love, could stand it no longer.He came out a decided Christian, and became one of tbe most devoted and efficient laborers for Christ.In Sacramento, also, although it was the rainy s2as0m, all the churches took hold of the work, and three hundred were hopefully converted, including many of the very firat men in the city.At Petaluma, even wicked men had been looking forward to tbe meetings with interest and hope.Here, too, many Conversions took place.Among them was.Judge Southard.His young son baving been previously converted, went to him and said, \u201cFaber, | want you to become a Christian.Won't you, father, kneel down snd pray 7\u201d \u201cMy son\u201d the judge at length said, \u201c1 will kneel down, and you may pray.\u201d But tie son lovingly persisted, aod the father and judge koelt and poured out his soul in prayer and tears, and arose, conquered by his own child and subdued to Christ, and has become a preacher of the Gospel.Here, too, & large ball had been engaged fora theatre during tbe progress of the meetings.Not aword was said against it.Yet, only eight at- wnded, and two of the performers came and were converted.At the next place, the name of which we failed to hear, was à Northern and Southern church of the same denomination, standing apart in sectional bitteraess.I: was not loug before the wo ministers took each other by the band, each ackoowledgiog the bad spirit which they had cherished while sincerely following their honest convictions.Oh, how scon and effectually would & universal revival of religion se:tle the problem of reconstruction! Here, t00, were some three huudred conversions.At Santa Clara, wbere he remaiced à week, be left from two to three hundred inquirers.At Maryrville, the mayor of tha city wee the first to come forward.He walked down the aisle, and knelt, and was followed soon by a judge, a physician, & lawyer, and & merchant, all of whom prayed for themselves.Here, utterly exhausted, be left the meetings then in progress, resolved to tear bimself away for half an hour from every buman being.But as be passed, & woman, tbe wife of a banker, happening to see him, pleaded with him to come in and see ber.Her brother also came up, and declariog bimeelf à lost sinner, joined in urging bim to goin.He at length entered their beautiful residence, and all three threw themselves on their knees together.The brother aud sister yielded themselves to Chyist in penitence and faith.While at Placerville a messenger came from Portland, Oregon, & journey of a thousand miles, deputed not to return without bim.Un bis way thitber, a Presbyterian minister met him at à landiog wberethe steamer must remain a few hours, having been on the watch for bim for several days; and there be was compelled to hold a meeting until the hour of sailing.At Portiand there were four churches.Ministers and deacons were baptized anew of the Holy à Gbost, and between two hundred and fifiy and three bundrea were converted.At Salem, (he capital, the mayor and quite & number of the prominent men were among the converts.Men bad come forty miles and were boarding there, waiting to attead tbe meetings.Others came for miles around, begaing for meetings in their respective towns, Here, too, the governor rent bim a le.ter, urging him to return and hold meetings through the State, devoting four days to each county seat.Similar invitations reached bim from Van- courer, Walls Walla, Washington Territory, and !

Mr.Carlisle, io that wild essay on the political prospects of England upon which we commented it à recent issue, found some console.ton, awid the g-ueral wreck and dissolution of the Bi'¢'eh monarchy foreseen hy bis hented imagination, io the thought that the landed aris- tocrscy retain a considerable amount of virtae, sad that # landlord is legally in possession of powers which enable him to apply a severe dis- has no longer tbe dungeon and the gallows 10) assist him in imposing his will upon bis dependants, but be still bus the power of \u201c Lanish- ment,\u201d and with this, thinka Nr.Carlyle, he may do agood deal.There is, however, another kid of aristocrat whom Mr, Cariyle recoguizes; namely, tie industrial aristocrat, the wan who, as merchant or manufacturer, bus accutaulated | wealth ; und the stern prophet of the latter day believes that be, too, may contribute somewhat towards abating the anarcby and regulating the chaos which await us.The instrument to be used by the industrial aristocrat in improving bis dependants Slr, Carlyle does not specify, and Lis impressiun seems 10 be tbat ke who employs a thousand operatives occupies a far less advan- tageuus positios for purposes of discipline than the mas \"7ho can at any moment give bis tenants notice to quit their farms.Unbappily Br.Car- Jyle omits to quote an example of reformation effected, or good of any kind done, by an aristocratic landlord armed with powers of banishment; but we are able to point tu an instance\u2014 afd itis ope among many-=of an industrial aris- tocrut who has contrived to make his influence teil upon the commonality around him, snd whose method bas been pretty much the reverse of expulsion.He has endeavored to draw bis dependants and bis poorer neighbors to bim re- ther tban drive them from him, and bas put bis trust, for the repression of anarchy and the promotion of oder and peace and good-will, in kindness, munificence, and sympstby.Strange as it may appear to Mr.Carlyle and to all trose who regard the d:ill-sergeant and tbe gaoler as the chief regenerators of mankind, he has persisted in bis plan for at least ten years, and be has just given a striking proof of bis confidence inits eficaey, and bis satisfaction with the result of former experiments.Our readers may already have begun to sus- pec.that the industrial aristocrat whom we bave in eye, and whom we are prepared to pit against Mr.Carlyle's landed aristocrat, ia Sir Francis Crossley, of Halifax, Ten years ago be presented to the Mayor and Corporation of Hati- fax, for the use of the public, a park which cost £30,000.The sule condition snuexed wo the gift was that not less than L315 per annum should be spent in keeping the park in good order, The Mayor and Corporation were, of course, happy to comply with this condition, aod in 1858 they cbiained ma Act of Parlin- ment which enabled them to fulfil their engagement effectively.On the 14th ult, tbe Mayor of Halifax received a letter from Sur Francis Crossley, in which, after specifying these facts, be proceeds ae follows: \u2014* It has always been my intention, if God should continue to bless me with prosperity, to complete this girt of the park by providiog for ils maintenance for ever, and it is now toy great privi'ege to fu'fil my original purpose.l accordingiy beg that you will accept, on bebalf of the Corporation, the enclosed Bank of England rotes, amounting to £6,300, ia order to provide an investment for realizing the necessary annual inco.ne to relicve the town of Halifax from future pecuviary responsibility in maic- taining the park.\u201d Sir Francia Crossley then touches generally upon the pleasure which Fe has derived from this exercise of generosity, and tbe good effects it has had upon the conduct of his townsmen.\u201cIt has ofien been à source of great pleasure to me to see, from the windows ef Belle Vue, 80 many thousands of my fellow- towngmen enjoyirq theæselves in the People's Park; but, from this time, that pleasure will be much enbanced by the thought that such recreation is exempted from eny tax whate er.In conclusion, allow me, Mr.Mayor, through you, to convey my thanks to the Mayor and Corporation of Halifax, for the admirabie manner in which the park bas been maiutained during the \u201cast ten years.My hope is that it may ever remain a source of unmixed enjoyment to the pcople of Halifax, whose working populauion | shall never cease ro remember with gratitude as characterized by industry, patience,aud faithfulness ; of which none of the inhabitants of Halifax bave bad more marked experience than myself, my family, and connections.\u201d Sir Francis Crossiey alludes, in the last clause, to Ls family.His brothers, Nr.Jobu Crossley aod Mr.Joseph Crossley, br ve manifested & kindred spirit with Fre apne MAGN ier Dh ne fa thats en ployment, aad in all rela:ions with the working classes in tbe district.They bave not hesitated to associate their oneratives with themselves in the great manufacturing enterprize at the bead of which they stood, and by a variety of schemes of benevolence, they bave proved that they believe the grand advantage of their position in respect of their wealthto be the power and op- poitoni\u2018y it affords then of ving good.Tue consequence is that in Halifax and the surround- laz district the once of Crossi-y is never mentioned save in toues of respect.The three brothers exercise a Jc \\dership over those among whom they dweil, which is none tke lea- real or potent that it is entirely natural and uncon- rained, entirely free from subserviercy on the ove side or tyraun/ on the other, entirely honorable and beneficial to all parties.The example set by the Messrs.Crosley is at the present moment of supreme importance.It shows bow all rancor apd jealousy may be avoided in the intercourse of class with clase; and how democracy in Bogland, instead of being a fierce u rising of the family of want against the family of plenty, way be the development of a new and leeper barmony than bes hitherto pervaded the different sections of society.Without leadership no society ever prospered ; but there is à leadership of the whip and the fetter, and a leadership of wise counsel and sympathetic kelp and Christian kindness; aod we believe that the latter is the more powerful sod lasting as well as tbe more genial and tuman of tbe two.THE KUSSIAN ULTIMATUS.(From N, F.Tribune.) The crisis in the Eastern question bas come at last.Toe Embassador of Ruesiaat Coustau- tinople, Ignatieff, as we learn by a special cable despatch 10 the Tribune, has, in tbe name of bis Government, made a formal demand for the cession of Crete to Greece, and for the bastowal of equal rights upon all the subjects of the Porte.These demands are declared 10 be the ultimatum of the Russian Government, and au answer is waked for within ten days.Kupposing the cable despatch tu be entirely corevel,\u20141s We have uo doubl it in,=the great tneninpopoint in the history of Eectern Enrane Lins been reacted.Wostever answer tte Porte may give to the Russian ultimatum, the power of the last Mohammedan dyvasty in Europe will be for cver broken.Should the demand be | Russian demands invoives, morcorer, ciplioe to Lis tenants The lord of the manor granted, Crete be united with Greece, and the ejuality of pulitieal rights fur Curistisos aod | Mobammedans be established, European Tur: key, iz which there are over 11,000,000 Chris- tins against only 4,000,000 of Mobummedans, | will at once assert itself as & predowinantly Coristian people, which will soon use thu newly gained iuflueuce fur the establishment of Îta entire independence.A submission tothe! : and the stores, fur surpassed any in the cit removal of that editice, and, espech steeple, from a site 2v conspicuous, has been a watter of lusting regret 10 many.ut the date above mentioned, or shortly after, the new St, Andrew s Church où Beaver Hall y, uf its 11i)l was built;

and for instigating tbe semi-independent princes of Roumanis and Ser- vik to co-operate with ber io expelling tbe Turks from Europe, and in partitioniog the European dominions of the Sultan.The Goveza- ment of Constantinople is fully aware thst no reforms whatever can prevent these movements from taking place, for they are now more than a struggle for religious equality: t2ey are like the similar wovements iu Jisly and Germany, the yearning of a nation for eeif-goverument and national consolidation.\u2018Will the Turkish Government, to which this character of the national movements among its Christian eabjects 15 by no means ucknown, gather up courage for precipitatisg the decisive contest?A siugle-Landed war against Russia would, of course, be ended almost as soon a8 it was commenced.\u201cThe only possible help for the Turks would again be foreign mid.The Governments of England, France, and Austria, undoubtedly sympaibize with Turkey against Ruatis ; but will they dare to Lelp Turkey ?In England, since the Crimean war, the popular aversion to interference in foreign quarrels has been steadily on tbe increase ; and it is not probable that 1be Tories are willing to defy this popular sentiment, now especially when the paas- sge of the Reform bill bas eo lacgely strengtben- ed the Radical party, which is almost a uait in its opposition to a new Eastern war.The Emperors of Austria and France have but recently exchanged views on the present aspects of the Eastern question.The step now taken by Rus- six was undoubtedly anticipated, and formed one of the subjects of their conversations.If we could rely on the boastful language of some semi-official organs of the two Empires, France and Austria are determined to make & stand against a really aggressive policy of Russia in the East.Whether their boast will be carried out must sonu become apparent.Any move of this kind on the part of Austria and France would at once bring Prussia to the side of Rus- sa.Thus a war of the grandest dimensions may break out, with Turkey, Austria, and France, on the one band, and Rassia and Prussia on the other.PROSPECTS OF IRELAND.At tbe banquet of the Agricultural Socie ty, th Lord-Lieutenant was received with the warm est demonstrations of respect, In responding to the toast of © the Lord-Licutenant aul prosper- 1ty to Ireland,\u201d bis Excellency quoted statistical returns to show that tbe prospecæ of the coun- ry are encouragiog, that its wealth is increas- ipg and tbat crime is decreasing.Some distress had been occasioned by the exceptionally severe winter, and in February last the number receiving Poor Law relief was 78,000 ; the average for the preceding four years having been 72,000.The nutnber is now reduced to 63,000.The stock in the Bank of Ireland at the end of June last was £18,900,000, teing upwards of £7,000 more than the return of the year 1866.Ia tbe Post- office Saviogs-bank deponts, there bad been so increase in the lasthalf-year of £40,000, a larger amount than the whole year's return for 1806.This showed the increase of wealth, and indisposition to apply it, owing partly to political disturbances.It showed that the insane snd unmescing Fenian outbreak did not diminish the country's wealth, though it stopped tbe issues of it.There a decrease of 60,000 acres under crops, and an increase of 500,000 catde and 1,500,000 sheep.The increase of cattle and the decrease in the means of feeding them was a Qué uve lut praclical men to consider.Tue export of cattle in 1863 amounted \u201co 355,000 ;

in 1865, 9,800; in 1866, 9,000.lis Excellency expressed bis satisfaction that no such cold bloou- ed atrocities bad been committed in Ireland as the Sheffield outrages.Lord Talbot de Mala- hide stated that no euch ill-feeliog as is repre- seated exists ip Ireland between landlords and tenants.He owns estates in both England aoû Ireland, sud said the condition of the Irish te- MONTREAL IN THE OLDEN TIME.(From New Dominion Monthly.) Shortly before my arrival in Montreal, in the fall of 1826, great changes had taken place in the eastern part of the city.Tho Citadel Hill had been levelled, and the ancient fort which crowned ft had as à matter of course disappeared.Dalhousie Square, the fashionable quarter of the city, was Inid out in the place which the hill and fort had occupied, and the picturesque was sacrificed to the convenient.Of the nomber of old landmarks which disappeared speedily afterward, in the progress of improvement, I shall describe only a few of the most remarkable, Thé old French Church, which then stood in the Place d'Armes, in the line of Notre Dame street, was not very remarkable either for sixe or lieauty.It was a queerold pile, with a queve old steeple, the latter by no means liigh or symmetrical, As soon as the new parish church was finished, the old was removed ; but it was not until nome ycare after that the old steeple was taken duwn, as it had to stand with tte bells Gill the towers of the new chareh were ready to reccive them.lo beauty of urchitecture, and especially the height and clegance of its spire, the English Clittrch,\u2014as it was called, \u2014which stood The wharves of those days presented pe Tips the grentest contrast tu those of the present day, of any purt of the city, which the Koyal Insurance Building now stands, and discharge their cargoes upon it by lung gangways, These vessels were Dot very nuwerous.The old + Eureita,\u201d the North.spring with supylies for the fur-trading posts aud till the return of the canoes from the interior with furs in the fall, and which was almost the only seagoing vessel that cae to Montreal, \u2014bad terminated her trips before 18:26; and a sprightly fleet of three brigs, making two trips & year, succeeded her, These were the * Sophia,\u201d Capt.Neal, consigned to Robertson, Masson, & Co, s crack vessel, which cracked on ut such 8 rate to get in fiest that she often Jost some part of her spars or sails, Her captain was a bold, bluif, hearty sailor, very much liked, whose couvi- viality was his chief miling.The second was the \u201c Favorite,\" owned and navigated by Captain Allau,\u2014a careful, calculating, sud enterprising shipmaster, aud the very cmbodiment of the canny Scot of playsand novels, He was futher ofthe Messrs.Allan of Montreal, and the Messrs.Allan of Liverpool aud Glusgow, The * Favorite\u201d was consigned to Millar & Purlane, afterwards Millar & Edmonstone, afterwards Edmoustone & Atlan, and now H.& A.Allan.Thus, out of the # Favorite, Captain Allan, grew the great Cunadian line of ocean steamers, and we know not how many noble suiling vessels besides, The * Cherub,\u201d Capt, Millar, was the third of these carly regular traders, and both ship and captain were favorites; but we know not what became of cither.Besides these three vessels that made two i , there wat a little vessel called the which cume every summer, we think, dee, and another small vessel from Ardrossan, and, if we mistake not, the: \u2018 Great Britain\u201d made one trip annually from London.Very soon after 1x25, however, vessels Legan to come in numbers from Liverpooland other ports.1t will be secn by the foregoing that nearly the whole trade of Montreal was with Scot- laud; and it used to be said jocnlariy, all through Cunaca, that the ouly good trade going was to be a Scotchman.But all that is changed now.Then the Hon.-tohn RicL- ardson, Hon.Peter Mcuill, Archdeacon StracLan, Hon.William Morris, and nearly all the leading merchauts and public men in the country, were Scotchmen ; aud every vnc Who knew \u2018them saw that they were cut out by nature aud training for leaders.The old North-West Company had broken down before its great rival, the Hudson Bay Company, and the times when its partners vere the great men of Montreal had passed vay : but their influence on the manners and customs of the city still remained at the ate we speak of, and that unhappily was faz from good, The first steamboats that navigated the St.Lawrence, namely, the * Malsham\u201d and the =Car of Commerce,\u201d had been superseded by ucw aud superior boats, such as the © John Molson,\u201d the \u201c Queber,\u201d and the \u201c Swiftsure,\u201d which made the trip from Quebec to Montreal in two or three days, according to circumstances.These veasels not only carried passengers and freight, but served also as towboats.Canada was greatly indebted to the euterprise and perseverance of Mr.Molson in the steamboat line; as he not only began to use steam on the St.Lawrence nearly as early as it was used on the Clyde or Hudson, but Le was continually making improvements in the rapid euccession of new boats which he built 1t was pleasantly narrated of his first steam- bent that ie had to keep several yoke of oxen at Hochelaga to tow ber up the Current Si.Mary ; ox-power being in those days tequired to supplement steam-power ata pinch, Mr.Molson was so cnthusiastic about his boats that he was wont to superintend the losding of them peisonally, aud was particularly careful to aid in driving on board any cattle or pigs that were sent forward to the Quebec market.At the period of which I am writing (1826-7) the Methodist Church stood where the Montreal Insurance Company's building now stands, in Great St.James street; and the gospel was cloquently preached in it Ly the Rev.Mr, Alder, There were some remarkable revivals in that Church, the demonstra tions at which were the theme of general, and uften very flippant, conversation, a« such things were then new in Lower A The Rev.Mr.Christmas was earnestly lnbor- ing in the American Presbyterian Church, then just erected, and establishing ¥abbath- schools and other agencles for good.To Mr.Christmas, Montreal owes much.He was a man of saintly, carnest, loving disposition, somcthing like McCheyne; and, like him, be was eminently successful in bis labors.It was Mr.Christmas who introduced the Temperance Reformation into Montreal, ata public meeting held in the St.Peter Street Scotch Presbyterian Church, \u2014another of our public edifices which bas passed away.This meeting, which was held in 1828, was thinly attended, but Mr.Christmas's sddress was mont convincing, At the close, he exhorted all present to sign the pledge, and form a Society to discountenance the drinking usages; and, descending from the pulpit, he was the first to sign it himself, thus setting an example of acting in accordance with his own teaching, which is at all times influential.He waa followed by Jacob DeWitt, Esq., and somo forty others, of whom we think D.P.Jaues and Renjamin Lyman are proba.Vly the only survivors, The St.Teter Stieet Church, to which T have referred, had been under the ministry of Rev, Mr.Easton ; but in the fall of 1828, in Notre Dame street, on the site now occupied by Messre.Eavage & Lyman's and other fine Rev.Mr.(afterwards Dr.) Mathicson bee came the pastor, and continued there till i the West Company's vessel\u2014which used tocotue in | At the time of which we write, the Rev.Me.Esson and the Bev.Mr.(afterwards br) They were!

Church, about the same year.The last of + these early winisters of this city went to the Townships, where Le died some years ago; and Mr.Gilinore became pastor of the Bantist i Church in Peterboro, aud Superintendent of Indian Missions.Trinity Church, where the evangelical and earnest Mr.Willoughby ministered, was built on St, Paul Street East, and in it he gathered that wonderful Sabbath-schoo! which has since been zo zealously and ably perpetuated in St.George's Church.The first Sabbath.school in Montreal, however, was gathered in 1816.by Miss Lucy Hedge, afterwards Lev.Mrs.Wilkes, (To be Continued.)

and, even if the latter carry all the remaining elections, the Government would still bave & majority of 23; but it is certain of about 25 more, giving a majority of about §8.All tbat is to be feared is, that this mejority will bave the fate of all strong wajorities, and divide itself into various shades of party \u2014llinerve, this morning, TorosTo Irams.\u2014Over seven huudred pounds sterling was paid out to the men of the 17th Regiment who re-enlisted on the \u201cth.The number who re-enlisted must be large.\u2014 About 300 immigranta\u2014English, Irish, Scottish, and Germau\u2014arrived in town yesterday (11th), by Grand Trunk Railway They were passengers by the sieamer \u201cSt.Lawrence.\u201d About 100 of them, principally English, proceeded to Humilton, where ttey purpose ret- tling.Nearly all the Germans went to the Western States.Most of the remainder will ret tle in Cacada \u2014\u2014We understand that the right wing, some 300 strong, of the 17th Regiment, will leave this city, for Belleville, in a few days,\u2014 439000 as the necessary barrack accommodation in reported to bein readipess for their reception in that towo,\u2014\u2014A fair quantity of cattie and sheep bas lately been brought by railway to this market from the western part of the province, principally from about London, St.Mary's, Guelph, and Waterloo.~=\u2014The shopkeepers held a meeting où the 10th, for the purpose of securing amendments to the liquor law, and or- ganiziog themselves in opposition to isformers.\u2014\u2014A little more than yesr ago, the Young Men's Cbristisn Association commenced the formation of a library, and, by the liberality of its friends, has now 390 volumes, which are open, under certain mild restrictions, to all who apply for them \u2014\u2014\u2014It is estimated that 1,000 persons will visit Toronto during the coming Nabbath-School Convention, commencing Oct.8th, A reception-committee bag beea appointed to obtain houses for them.Conauriion\u2014The Brockville Recorder says: Demoralization is universal.From oze end of Canada to the other, the morals of the people are being undermined.The future historian will mark the elections of 1857 as an era in which corruption was at its height.John A.Macdonald, on the principle that \u2018every sin brings its own punishment,\u201d must be terribly tormented, McDougail's fate cannot be any better.The open, bare-faced manger in which the buying and selling of votes is, and bas been, carried on during the present elections, may be learned from tbe following letter, addressed to John Whiw, Esq, of Halton, by an elector of that riding, to whom he had seat a printed cu- cular soliciting bis vote : \u201c St.George, Aug.27.Sin, \u20141 received a card asking my vote and ijofluence.| mm sorry that [ wen't come unless you shell out $400, or nearly that.Your opponent will give $300.l can influence three or four votes in my neighborhood.I am sorry hat poverty has compelled me to sell my vote or stay at home.Yours truly, £.Bawrixanas, St.Gecrge, Ontario.\u201d | ;

and he was a liberal giver to many good objects.The temperance cause especially, attracted Lis early and permanent affection.He called, we believe, a street laid off on bis property in Toronto, ** Temperance street,\u201d and erected a temparance bail; and bis mansion in Buffalo, was often bospitably opened to religious and temperance men.He was, however, something much higher and better than 8 mere temperance man; namely, & sincere, devout, and liberal-lianded Christian, who only regarded total abstinence from intoxicating drinks as one phase of Christian duty, though an exceedingly important one in the present circumstances of society.Aw AppaiLixe Hisrorv.\u2014The Pays says it is preparing a history of the elections of 7867, and asks for accurate statements from every parish oo the following points :\u2014 1.The fraudulent acts of returning-officers or their deputies.2.Violence or corruption on bebalf of candidates.3.Precise details of the interventions of tle clergy, of tbe Grand Trunk, and other large s0- cieties or corporations.4.The conduct of the varioua officers of Government.5.And, generally, all causes that bindered the free aud honest expression of the opinions of electors at the polls.The Minerve seems to regard this enguéte with « good deal of trepidation, seeing in it the gathering of evidence for future commissions of inquiry to turn out office-holders.Aucusimor CoxnouLy Acaix.\u2014Mir.Anglin, a prominent Irish Roman Catholic, of New Brunswick, and editor of the Freeman, gots a pretty severe correction from Archbishop Connolly, of Halifaz, who appecrs to take pastoral charge of, the elections, not only in Nova Scotia, but in the other Confederate Provinces.This primate, in à letter to the Hon.P.Mitchell, speaks as follows (we translate from a French version in the Minerve) :\u2014 \u201c1 sympathize deeply with you in what you say respoctiug Confederation in N w Pruaswick, I regret much that the Bishop should be absent on the polling day, for I know that, like his predecessor, Dr.Dollard, be regards Mr.Anglin as one of the bittercst enemies of tbe priesthoud, and as an insulter of tbe Catholic clergy whenever an opportunityoccurs.He has done more to vilify tbe Catholic religion in tbe person of its priests and ministers, and to bring Catholicism and Catholics, particularly the Irish, into odium, than sll the Orangemen of the earth.\u201d Wouas Enrsancuisep 1m Exerann \u2014Tbhe Jla- beas Corpus act was, it is said, carried by counting a fat member for two, and yet it has stood ever since, and Britain is proud of it, It is said that the new Reform Bill has unintentiovally conferred the suffrage upon women in the way thus described by & contemporary :\u2014 \u201cHow the women are provided with votes by the new Reform Bill, notwithstanding ail the trouble taken to keep them out, is sufficiently curious.By an act passed iu 1850, known a3 Lord Brougham's Act, for shorteniog the lan- used in Acts of Parliament, it is provided that iv all acts, worde importing the masculine gender shall be deemed and taken to include females, &c., unless the contrary is expressly provided.The contrary has not been provided, sud therefore the women can vote if they choose.If they insist on doing so, the first fight will come off in the Registration Courts and there will probably be some very pretty legal sparriog before the Revising Barristers.That the point wilt be tried may set down as certain, sad it will be strange enough if, after all, tbe question to warmly discussed and so generally disapproved of by the more sound thinkiog aod intelligent women, should be settled by a neglect to provide for à mere techuicality.\u201d MISREPRESENTATION.\u201cIf the Witmess is a religious paper, bis rell- gion we must consider of the old demonolstrous type, for we believe that the deity that be prac.tiealy worships in the Father of Lies, As oue of many nroofs, we take bis remarks of the ac- cout of the Stanstead treatment of Mr.Davis.He pounces on this carrion with the velocity nod greediness of a barpy, and gloats and mouths over it as the daintiest of titblte.He is as usual, bypocniticsl ; und, kuowing ba effect of right logic on most minds, but the difficulty of ascertaining the uth of premis:.s to ull but few minds, be builds oo the article in the Newport Keypress, taken at second band from a Bos ton paper, a superstructure of misleading words, calculated to disgust Southern feelings and to deter Southern capitalists, intending 10 settle in Canada, from emigratiog 10 Canadian soil.This style of conduct in the editor of a Journal, which gives itself a holy name, and proclaims itse.f directly and indirectly the champion of all truth, we need not criticise any more than to say that it is quite cousistent with the character of the Montreal Daily Witness.\"\u2014Tels- graph.The foregoiog characteristic paragraph (which, by the way, is similar in accuracy and animus to many that have preceded it) can bave no other basis than the following note, which is all that we have written on the subject, and which was appended, in the Witness of August 6th, to a brief account, copied from a Boston pa per, of some indignities shown to Mr.Davison bis visit to Mr.Oarlos Pierce, of Stanstead :\u2014 [* We regret much that such scenes could take place on Canadian soil.All the displeasure that Cauadians, however well disposed towards the Union, are called upon to manifest towards the arch-leader of the American rebellion, is to keep aloof from him, and ueither by word nor deed manifest approval of his past course.~Ep.Wir\u201d) GRAVE ACOUSATION.\u201cThe Montreal Witness, a religious paper, not only steals Mr.Beecher\u2019s story, every week, but is mean enough to print it without giving credit to the Ledger.In his Prospectus, the publisher of the Witness says: \u2018The Montreal Witness was established twenty-one years ago, to promote evangelical religion, sound morality, and useful knowledge.\u2019 \u201cTtstrikes us that to steal agother's property is a queer way to \u2018promote evangelical religion and sound morality.\u2019 \"\u2014New York Ledger.REMARKS, Will Mr.Bonner explain wherein we have wronged bim?He bought from Mr.Beecher a copyright for the United States, and registered it under a law of Congress which protects that right.This right we have not infringed.He bought no patent right for Canada, nor does the law of Congress extend to this Dominion, and consequently Lie had no interest bere.He kuew this when he purchased the tale ; and to claim a copyright in this country, is to claim what he never either bought or possessed.Nor could he have obtained it.Our legislature has been very careful to grant patent-rights or copyrights, only to residents, or non-resi- dents being British subjects.Whether thers should be an international patent-right and copyright law or not, is anether question, on which we might probably coincide with Mr.Bonner.All we can say is, that there is none now, and consequently works of British authors are freely copied in the States, and works of American authors, in Britain and its dependen- cles.We do not know whether Mr.Bonner copies from foreign publications or not, but the Eclectic Magazine, Littell's Living Age, and Every Sature day do nothing else ; yet we bave not heard of any depucciation of these publications by the New York Ledger.Mr.Bonner errs in another respect.We ez- plained, when we commenced making extracts from \u201c Norwood,\u201d that it was written by Rev.H.Ward Beecher, for the New York Ledger, from which we would copy portions of 1t; and we bave since regularly credited each extract to Mr.Beecher, the ouly party known here in the matter.We may, in fairness to Mr.Bouner, add that bis Ledger, which we never looked into till thus tale commenced, must have greatly improved of late.We understood it was wholly Blled with sensational novels of an injurious tendency; but we find in it, besides this story, much unobjectionable and highly interesting matter, from distinguished writers, such as Greeley, Parton, and the Presidents of twelve colleges.The novels in it, except \u201c Norwood,\u201d we do not read ; but, from their titles and authors, we do not judge them to be worse than those which appear in /farpers Weekly and the Ac antic Monthly, which, by the way, is not high praise.A CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING.Th» followiog deeply interesting letter from the Hon, Malcolm Oameron appeared in our four o'clock edition of Saturday, and we reproduce it editorially to-day on Account of ite import ance.It will be indeed good news for the country if the Legislative bar-room, which has 90 long been = disgrace to the country, can be abolished.This bar-room bas, niore than the publio suspect, affected injuriously the progress of public business ; and it should aot be tolerated within the walls of the Parlisment House.Nr.McGee's resolution to abstain from intoxi~ cating drinks, not merely for the session as he once before resolved, but for life, must also give great satisfaction to all good men, whose prayers will doubtless be offered up to the only Source of streng th that be may bave grace to keep the pledge be bas thus publicly taken, We have only to add that whoever attempts in any way to induce him to break this pledge (should any one be found so wicked) will stand ia pointblank range of the wor pronounced by the Spirit of God, and recorded ia Hahakknk xi.18.(To the Editor of the Witness.)

yet there is in his every motion the quiet dignity and self-possession which mark the true English gentleman.As a gpeaxer, Newman Hall indulges in no preliminary beating about the bush, but plunges into the subject of bis sermon in his opening sentence.le utterly eschews any approach to slang phrases, and makes no attempt at producing startling effects or smart sayings.His speaking is a constant flow of pure and undefiled English.Without a stammer, without an inappropriate or misplaced word, be talks directly to the intellect and to the heart.Newman Hall's forte 18 pungent directness of argument, clothed in simple, beautiful language.Every sentence is nn arrow-thrust.Some men preach lengtbily, but say nothing.Newman Hall says much, «nd says it well, in few words.In his sermon on the dying thief, you wee the cross, and you see the criminals; you listen to the colloquy between the penitent thief and the impenitent thief; and you fancy that you can almost bear tbe words of Christ, * This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.\u201d There is 8 vividness and an impressiveness about his appesis which account in a large measure for the marked success with which bis labors bave been crowned.Marcouk Caumnos.THE AMNESTY PROCLAMATION, President Johnson bas issued his long-pro- mised proclamation of amnesty, which includes all classes implicated in the rebellion, with the following exceptions, which, it is supposed, will include only about 2,000 individuals :\u2014 First.\u2014The chief or pretended chief Executive officers, including the President, Vice-Pre- sident, and all beads of departments of the pretended Confederate or Rebel Government, and all who were agents thereof in foreign States and countries, and all who held, or pretended to bold, in the service of tbe said pretended Confederate Government, « military rank or title avove the grade of Brigadier-General, or naval rank or title above that of Captain, and all who were, or pretended to be, Governors of States while maintaining, abetting, or submitting to, and acquiescing in, the Rebellion.cond.\u2014All persons who in any way treated oibervrise than a8 lawful prisoners of war, per sons who, in any capacity, were employed or engaged in the military or naval service of the United States.Third \u2014AI persons who, at the time they way seek to obtain the benefits of this proclamation, are actually in civil, military, or naval confinement or custody, or legally beld to bail either before or after conviction, and all persons who were engaged directly or indirectly in the assassination of the late President of the United States, or in any plot or conspiracy in any manner herewith connected.Commenting upon this proclamation, the N.Y.Tribune says: =\u2014 We were in favor of a sweeping amnesty when Mr.Johnson was raving and roaring thrice a day that treason was a crime, and traitors must be punished.\u201d We are in favor of it now, and would gladly have every peaceable, well- dis mao in the South assured that po harm will befall him because of his shere in the rebellion so long ashe deports himself as » good citizen should, Let those who were rebels feel and know that they may plant and till, build and trade, buy lands and soll them, withont fear of confiscation or molestation, Bo faras President Jobuson's new proclamation tends to secure this end, it has our hearty approval, But the President is evidently reaching far be- youd ths.Hu domestic organ, the National Intelligencer, in foreshadowing the new manifes- to on Saturday, says:\u2014 \u201c During the deliberations of the Cabinet yes- SepTEMBER 18, 1867.THE MONTREAL WITNESS.597 terday, It is understood thut 11 became evident iat, n tite opinion af every member present, the legal cifect of the cuvtempluted Atinesty Froclatnation would heto relleve ll persons iio cluded within its terms from ali disqualificu.tions, a« well as all penalties incurred by thelr complicity In tha lebetlion, nud of course (so fur us the action of the Gieneruf Governmeut ls con cerned) from atisabiilty us to the exercise of the right of sufrage.\u201d In other words: The President renews bis original claim of a right to dictate the essential terms of Reconstruction, And in à more offensive form, In 1865, he sougbt to lead and guide Congress ; in 1867, ba assumes to defy and subvert the plainest provisions of law.Congress, by the pending Constitutional Amendment (Art.XIV.), bas expressly provided that \u201c&gc.3.No person shall be a Senator, or Hes presentatlve fn Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any Bute, who haviog previously taken an oath, us a member of Congress, or an officer of the United states, or as a member of any State Leglslsture, or as an executive or judicial ofh- cer of any State, tu support tbe Constitution of the United Ktites, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebetlion against the sae, or givea ald or cumfort to the eneinjes thereof.But Congress may, by vote of Lwo-thirds of euch House, remove such disability.\u201d And the Supplementary Reconstruction Act of July 14, 1867 (Sec.7), prescribes that \u201c No person shall, at any time, be entitled to be registered or Lo vote, by reason of any Executive pardon or amuesty, lor soy act or thin, \u2018which, without such pardon or amnesty, woul disqualify him for registration or voting, President Jobnson's term of power 13 drawing rapidly to a close.When Congress meets in November next, be will most probably be impeached and set aside until he bas been tried by the Senate.tie may try to resist Congress by force; but if he do, his conviction and deposition are certain.The great Uniou war party which conquered the South is exasperated against him ; and even the Democrats, north and south, are unwilling to link their fortunes to bis.Even though he should not be impeached, Congress will probably continus in session by adjourament till his term expires.FOURTH PROVINOIAL SABBATH-SCHOOL CONVENTION, To Ministers, Sabbath-School Superintendents and Teachers, and the friends of Subbath- Sehools.Raverexp axp Dear Sins, \u2014The Executive Committee of the Sabbath-school Association of Oanada beg to announce that the fourth Provincial Convention will (D.V.) be held in Knox's Church, in tbe city of Toronto, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 8th, 9tb, and 10th October, 1867, and hereby cordially invite every Sabbath-school in the Province of Ontario and Quebec (formerly known as the Province of Canada) to tend two delegates; such delegates to be duly accredited according to the form of certificate supplied in this circu~ lar, signed by the Superintendent or Secretary of the School.It ia also much desired that ministers of the Gospel will attend on this occasion, and that every branch of the Christian Church should be thus represented.The three previous Provincial Conventions \u2018were most instructive and encouraging, aud it is anticipated that this will be as replete with interest and profit.In addition to intelligent and experienced Sabbath-school teachers and advocates in Canada, several who are eminent and devoted in | the Ssbbath-achool cause from the United States have promised to be present, among whom are the Revds.B W.Chidlaw and B.Frankland, of Cincinnati; the Revds.R.F.Burns, D.D., of Chicago, and ©.W.Bolton, New York ; Ralph Wells, Esg., of New York, and Stephen Paxon, Eay., of Jacksonville, Ill.It is also fully expected that Philip Philips, the able composer and singer of Sabbath-school music, will conduct the service of song.The Rev.W.Ormiston, D.D, the deputation of the Sabbath-8chool Association of Canada to the International Sunday-8cbool Convention io Paris, is expected to give an account of thst memorable occasion; and the Rev.John McKillican will present the report of his Sab.bath-Schoo! Mission in the Countiea of Simcoe and Grey.The Convention will be called to order at 3 p.m.of the first day, aod be opened with devotional exercises, to be followed by the appoint - ment of the usual committees.It ie important that those attending this Convention should arrive in time to unite in seeking the Divine blessing, and that the Nominating Committee may know whom to propose for the business and other committees, Besides the time occupied with the subjects for discussion, and the transaction of business, each day will be closed with a public meeting ; and the best arrangements will be made for à Mass Meeting of the Sabbath-Schools of the city.Delegates aud visitors are requested to give notice in writing of their intention of being nt by the 25tb of September, addressed to z 1038, P.O., Toronto, that they may be suitably provided for, during their stay.On reaching Toronto, they will please go to the basement of Knox's Church, where the Reception Commit.tes will be in attendance to receive their names and credentials, and give them introductions to friends who will kindly entertain them during the Convention.\u2018While the Committee can only promise homes to the ministers of Evangelical churches and to duly accredited delegates, all teachers and friends of Babbath-schools are affectionately invited to be present at ail tho meetings of the Convention\u2014none are excluded.The Grand Trunk aoû branches, Great Western, Michigan Central, and Buffalo and Erie Railroads will carry persons attending thé Convention for one fare.Tbe Northern Railway will grant return tickets at one-third the usual tate.The \u201c City of Toronto,\u201d aod the Mail Line of Steamers will charge ono fare ; meals, and berths extra.Wiuttam MictarD, Gen.-Secretary.\u2018The following subjects are proposed for consideration and discussion.It is Loped that both ministers and delegates will give them their beat attention, preparhtory to their being introduced in the Convention :=\u2014 1.The beet mode of trainiag Sabbath-School Teacbers.3.Previous study and preparation of Teach- en.3.Importance of prompt visitation of absent Echolers by their Teachers.4.The duty of puzents and guardians in relation to Sabbatb-Scbools, 5.The best mode of conducting Babbath- Schools, with a view to order and diicipliue, 6.Sabbath School entertainments, \u2014their proper character and limits, 1.The beat method to be adopted to interest children in Missiuns.8.Esaminations and addresses, \u2014their character and importance, ; 9.Adviseableness, or otherwise, of public recitations by Sabbath-School Scholaes.10.The destitute and neglected youth, their claim, and how to be gathered.11.The end of Babbatb-School instruction.{We gladly comply with the request to publish the foregoing important documents, but cannot help boping that a twelfth topic will bo added to the above otherwise complete list; namely, \u2014 How can the youth in Sabbath-Schools be mont judiciously and effectively forewarned to avoid the temptations to intemperance, which are certain to assail them on all haadsia life?This most important and urgent subject got we are sorry to say, the cold shoulder at thy Convention which met in Montreal; but surely Sabbath-School teachers, who are, generally speaking, among the beat friends of the temperance cause, will not consent to its permanent exclusion.\u2014Ep.Wir.)

and, as the price of cotton is becoming more steady than it has been while the product of this years crop was uncertain, manufacturers may calculate on a more reliable market, and upon better profits.The demand for brown goods ot all kinda remains fairly active, and the supply is only adequate to the wants of the market.Thereis no overstock of goods, and very little prospect of a speculative movement to send up prices.There has been no animation in the market for foreign goods, and some large sales of nearly every variety of foreign fabrics et the auction-rooms during the week.The ntock of staple goods on hand is fully equal to tbe demand ;

while here their icy nonchalance is duetothe ditierence in the element presented.\u201d There was a good reason for the Pope's emotion that day.le had heard from his secret police that a great national demonstration was to take place the next morning ut the instization of the National Committee; that that time would probably be the last in which he would be able to call himself a crowned king,\u2014a dignity which be valued tittle for himself, but which he felt it incum- beut upon him to bund down to his successors, Disturbances in Home are unlike disturbances anywhere else, such as the present ange has multiplied before ux.They bear the mild designation of manifestations, At Paris, the gun and Luyonet are in full force; at Rome, things sre managed in à very different manner, Ia movements are strictly prudent, and in submission to the authonty of the Committee.Should they find it necessary or expedient to rouse the popular sentimeut and sound the views of the l\u2019ontifieal Government On any pressing question; or, again, to uscertain the attitude the French general in likely to take in certain contingencies, the note is given, ** To the Corso 1\" which means, tt After the gens d'armes; use your blades with prudence; cry, \u2018Down with the Pope ?but don't go any further.The hour for the final blow is not yet.\u201d The outbreak of the 2nd February, 1861, will not soon be forgotten.The great anxiety then was to know what might be France's intention: it was notorious that the French embassador was favorable to Italian unity, \u201cWe are very weak and inaclive,\u201d said one of the most ardent members of the Committee.* We seem to be expectin r partridges to fall down roasted from ine trees.The policy of the Emperor is to affect to protect the Pope; but if we were to over power our Goverrment, afier a few French shots fired for the look of the thing, we should be left to ourselves, and the longing of years would Le accomplished.\u201d \"This wise counsel had been followed.The plan was\u2014to study the attitude of the general in command of the troops; to see if, in case of a revolution, he would take a course de- Y tcidedly hostile to the national party, or whether he would yield to gentle pressure, and leave the Romans to their own devices.Jacomo was two days\u2019 journey from Rome at the time that thisstorm was brewing.To judge by appearances, a revolution was close at hand : such, at least, was the upshot of the secret report presented to the Pope.Loulère, eeeing the city in its repose, dreatned little of coming disturbance.Roman who knew all that was going to happen, who wag to act a conspicuous part in the approaching manifestation, and with whom be had spent two hours that morning never breathed a word of it.They met on the Place d'Espagne.+ Any news?\" he aske« Loubère.\u201c No,\u201d was the reply, \u2018except that I have just seen the Pope ery.\u201d # And well he may.\u201d Loubère did not\u201d understand him; the reader will guess at once who he was, Jacomo, an old soldier of Garibaldi, a smuggler with a long sinewy arm, and stead- fust anti-papal lieart, was too valushle to be prerlocked.An agent of the Committee met ne.« Jacomo, we shall want you to-morrow.\u201d \u201cVery well, signor,\u201d He had first received a few paolis to drink to the downfall of the Pope-King, and then his comission, with the quiet ease of a man who was always ready.4 Now attend,\u201d resumed Jacomo: \u201cI am thoroughly at your service; but I must have rome men at my disposal to break open the Inquisition cells, and let out a brave friend or two, toswell our hosts.\u201d \u201c As far as that goes it will Le a capital diversion.\" To avoid suspicion and to secure to lim- self the power to go about the town without danger, canvassing bis friends, and feeling generally the popular pulse, the agent ofthe Committes went to the police to tell them that a blow was about to be struck.\u201cWe know that,\u201d was the reply.\u201c1 beard something about an intended attack on the prisons.\u201d \u201c Thank you; much obliged.\u201d This little farce played, the agent might safely proclaim his wishes under the whole heaven, without the Pontitical spies ever dreaming of watching his proceedings.No fear from à man who had put the government on ile vuard, On the 2nd of February, exactly at the hour named by the Committee, a compact body of men, dreseed in the old nationsl style, took up their position in the Campo Vaccino, the approaches to the Coliseum, the Place Na.vone, the Corso, the Place del Popolo, and every other quarter of general concourse, The police on their side had made various arrangements for a probable fight.Often intimate friends are arrayed on opposite sides in these struggles, wl the singular interchange may be heard of one, in perfect good humor, crying out to the other, as though he were referring to some engagement connected with & pleasure party, \u2014 , \u201cWe aball meet to-morrow\u201d and recoiv- ing for avswer, \u201cYes, I am going to put an edge on my sword.\u201d ' (To be Continued.) NORWOOD; OR, VILLAGE LIFE IN NEW ENGLAND.BY HENRY WARD BEECHER, THE FRUITS OF SORROW.\u2014(CONTINTED,) Barton's mother's solicitude that he should rise into an open and earnest religious life was extreme, She ventured but a few words, but they were like arrows.Dr Wentworth and THE MONTREAL WITNESS, bis famisy lett Barton to follow bis own lent without seeking to force it.Dr.Buell, kindly but firmly, pressed him with considerations of duty.Barton shrank from disclosing his real state.11 he had reached any settled con.vietions he would bave had courage to avow | uml defend them; but to say that the reli-; gion of his childhood bud let go and dropped | away from him, and that he held in doubt all that those most dear to him beld ina blessed certainty, wus to made himself the victim of feelings worse then pity.He lived in a com-: munity where to be an unbeliever was to be a ; criminal.A pew misery befell him.The consciousness of a secret life utterly at discord with his sceming lite und with that of those dearest to him, began to raise in him the fear that he was practising insincerity ;\u2014thut he was living 8 false and double lifs, ile abborred duplicity.He loved truth and frankness.And yet, in matters of the most vi::! moment, he was living à life utterly different from that which all that knew him supposed.At times, his distress grew so great that he was on the oint of diecloring bis feelings.Lut to whom?ot to his moths That would pierce her without relieving him.Not to Hose.He shuddered ut the thought.It would be like letting night down upon his alrealy faint hopes, Should it be to Dr.Buell?But the Doctor, he ihought, never doubted as he bad, sud vould therefore have no sympathy with one upon whom an argument and a text produced littlosalutary elect.The question was soon answered for him.I have called,\u201d said Parson Buell to Dr.Wentworth, \u201cto speak with you concerning our common friend, Barton Cartheart, 1 have walked with bim several times on the ureut subject on which s0 many arc interested.But I obtained no response.It waa plain to me that bis thoughts were disturbed, and from certain sizns I am led to fear that bis views are unsettled.Iam distressed to think that this season may pass and leave no blessing for him.We cannot endure to see a nature so noble made a castaway.Perbups it will be in your power to aid, et least to as cerlain histrue state.The eyring is passing.Summer wiil soon be here.He is u child of faith and of many prayers.I am aware of his partiality for you, and of the great influence which your mind has over him.It may he that he will repose in you a confidence which he seems indisposed to place in me.\u201d The Doctor promised to give to Barton an early opportunity of conversation, should he wish it.But it came even before he sought it.Rose on the next morning told her father pointa of religious belief, and bad expressed a wish to converse with her father.That very evening Dr.Wentworth and Barton were long together.The result only of their conversation did the Doctor deem it best to report to Dr Buell.4] think Barton has stumbled at the letter, but has not fallen from the spirit, of the Ile- cord, Unskilfal handling of his owa case has made him morbid.Hedesiresthe truth as an uoweaued child yearns for its mother's Lreast.it ought not to be difficult for such a one to find firm faith.Hisia a clear instance of that doubt which has widely sprung up in the track of physical science.It arises from the introduction of a totally new method of investigation, It must be met on its own ground.If the distinguishing doctrines of grace have their types and root ia nature, ag I believe they have, thea evidence from that source will reachthe trouble.Thealphabetic forms of morul truth found at large in the world will serve to teach one at length how to read those clearer manifestations of the divine nature, and of moral government, which sre perfectly disclosed only in the life and teachings of our Saviour.\u201d But we prefer to let barton Carthcart speak for himself.From a private journal we extract a few passages: \u2014 \u201cJune 15.~My school, at any rate, is helped by my inward disquiet.I seek relief in 1abor and thought.I fly from those sad and dreary moods, introverted and sel{-conscious.They ruin me, and would poison every one ahoulif I infect them.I watch my scholars to see if they know that | am ewinging like an unhghted star in great circuit of darkness, eternal motion, without light or rest.1 shrink from them as if I were fulse to my place, end had no business with children.Oh! those dear faces, turned up to mo with such clear trust, I look upon them with unut erable feelings.God! suffer not contagion to go from me! 1 redouble my energy.I seek to fire them with ardor and honor.I seek to so burden myself with duties toward them thet i shall have no room for suffering myself, \u201cThey certainly answer to my exertion.All the nobler natures are inspired by me with almost romantic zeal.I see by their eyes admiration and fondness ; but it falls upon me as the ardor of worshippers once fell on marble gods.I am cold to it.Ihave that sense of unmanly suffering, of soul disquiet, of utter ruin.June 20.\u2014A strange experience befeil me yesterday.My day's work was done, My walk was completed,\u201d The sun had gone down, I had fallen ioto one of those balanced tates of mind in which is calin, and all the evening scenes tended to soften even to tenderness.À robin flew into the trees over against my room, snd began that peculiar song which indicates the Absence of its mate.Itis tho sweetest and must passionate of all tlieir singing.And since I have learned that it.in a call of loneliness for company, of love for love, it seems to me very exquisite, though very sad.I sat in the window till the light bad faded, the song growing more and mo; restless and almost expostulatory.Soon the bind flew, and [ h it again farther off; and, after a little, it ssemed to bave flown yet farther, and ite now waning notes died out in distance.My soul was strangely affected.1 almost ce to be conscious of my body.Stealing up from the east, the moon threw a light on the valley, upon the sop and edges the village trees.\"There lay Holyoke sad that Barton had been questioning her on many God I was iuexpressibly sad.I seemed alone, helpless, unhappy.\u201d I involuntarily called out, \u201cMy God, wby hast thou forsuken me ?' What followed\u2018 I can sccount for only asa phantasy, Or was it real?Is thera still an inspiration?I did not think.It was seeing rather! The whole heaven seemed full of in- etfable gentleness.It seemed as if I was caught up into it, and felt borne in upon me & sense of God's care for me\u2014his love, his wisdom in guiding me.À wonderful conviction seemed to flow in on me that I should surely he brought out of sll my darkness, and that all this trouble of soul was like the trouble which aseed feels when yet under ground, ~\u2014dying that it may sprout snd live, Then, all unbidden, there sprung up in me uch a devire to praise God as 1 hail never felt before or imagined, For the first time in my life 1 had a conception of infinite love.Ihad heard the words before, Now I had 8 sen-e of the thing itself.All my soul seemed urgent to utter itael rand I coull not speaka word! The pralma rushed before me in which trees, #2, sun, oon, stars, all nature, were called upon to join in praising God, But how strangely ditlerent in effect! Before, I bad read ther as one hears Handel's Messiah, in fragments, on à piuno.Now it was as I ima.wine the Messiah to have been when thousands of singers and instruments gave it forth in all its grandeur at Westminster Abbey.Everything within me became heroic.I coul:l have vielded my life with ineflable joy to Please God.Ali complaining seemed to me ike dust which one kicks with the feet.I was absorbed and almost identified with this Universal Presence.And now, ss I remember it, the strangest part of the experience, though at the time it did not etrike me as such, was the nourishing pity with which I looked upon myself.I seemed to comfort myself, as if my higher self was consoling a lower self, I felt a true and ineffable pity and sorrow for myself, for my doubts and yearnings, for my longing ambitions and unsatisfied strivings; and it seemed to be borne in upon me, in & way such as no words coul have done it, that all my faculties, tendencies, aspirations, had their natural aud perfect fulfilment in God, and not in attaining anything in myself.Iremember a sort of figure that seemed to come forth from nature to me \u2014that flowers never blossomed inwardly into themselves, but outwardly, into the Jight, and that all the beauty they bad, either of form or color, was what they borrowed from the light which they received and reflected, and so a soul, it seemed to me, was never happy or beautiful except when it was unfolding \u2018into + How long my trance lasted T cannot say.I threw myself upon the bed without undress: ing.A tide of tranquil delight gently flowed through my eoul.Ÿ asked myself whether, were it God's will, I could yield up sll my prospecta in life.The mere thought of pleasing God seemed rapturous.I repeated, Thy will be done,\u2019 and the effect was wonderful.I bad a vision\u2014shall 1 call it\u2014of the divine beauty, and of a realm which was glorified by its shining light, and all my desires, personal and secular, shrunk and faded.In that exceeding light and beauty I seemed to myself unutterably insignificant.The course of my thoughts, the nature of my feelings, the ambitions and pursuits of my life, reemed under a shadow\u2014stained and poor and degrading.I never imagined before what it meant to be à man, nor how far I had been from it.In those blissful moments I tested my feelings for Rose.If anything in my life bad before seemed to me pure and noble, it was my hidden love for that nobler creature.Dut | wasamazed to perceive how, in the light of His countenance, the very fragrance and blossom of my heart seemed rank and coarse.My whole life withered, and my virtues dropped like blackened leaves.And yet this unbeauty, this moral poverty, brought x Right over against me rose to a stately eight the conception of a Being whose very nature it was, spontaneously and with deep earning, to love and embrace such vnworth, remember thinking for I then fhought, as one secs, vast ranges of truth and ideas fying at once before me, almost without succession in time\u2014that love of God came (0 me ss | had seen thé sun pour end flame, in the spring, upon a brown and frozen knoll, and pierce it, and thaw it, and warm it, and nou- rich in it the hidden roots, and day by day bring them out in beauty.So it seemed that God's nature fell pou mine.low long this lasted [ cannot tell, When I awoke in the morning [seemed like one who had missed his latitude.1 went asleep in summer and awaked in winter, Iran to the window, and saw all things as I had been wont to see them.Birds were singing\u2014men and boys walking\u2014 waggons yolling \u2014the smoke rising pale against the sky, ardly crooked by a breath of wind.The vision had been caught up.In its place was the great working world.I never was 50 aad to bo awake.I longed fur something lost.Yet I am wonderfully quiet.I do know that there is a realin of truth.1 cannot well be made to believe that there was nothing divine in this exaltation and spiritual insight.It is an inexpressible relief to feel à certainty that nature bas & Master, Now I will seek Wentworth again, and see what he means when he says that the Bible interprets nature, and that nature nourishes the truths of the Bible, and that they are parts of one development, and in harmony.\u201cTo be Continued.)

which some of us- students teach in a neighboring district, had come out and threatened to horsewhip me because I bad his little girls for some of my scholars.\u201d You did pot dare to go home with the poor little lambs ?\"* asked Susie, 4 Yes,\u201d said Charley, \u2018I knew that I was doing right and I need fear nothing.Just as | came to the house, Jones came out with amilk-pail in his hand.He saw me with his lambs in my arms, Stopping short and utter- ings dresdfal oath, he seized a rail from his old fence by the road, springing toward mc ns though I had been the dog that had killed his sheep.He screamed rather than spoke words which signified that I wes a colleze scamp who had made a mistake in attempting to play a trick on him.\u2018Some of you boys,\u2019 he went on, ¢ tried to steal balf of my grapes that I had got ready to make into wine, and now you have got my lambs.\u2019 This man raised great quantities of grapes and sold (bem for wine, and the money be laid out for strong drink for himself, He also made wine, of which he drank freely.\u201c1 then calmly told him bow I had found his lnwnbs and the sheen, and that [ had eav- ed what | could.\u2018Here is the very dog,\u2019 I said, as he that moment was seen coming up to the door, ! \u2018What's to pay ?\u2019 he asked in a changed voice, as he ran back from pursuit of the dog and took the lambs from my arms.*#Nothiag, sir,\u2019 I replied ; \u2018I am glad to do you this email service.\u2019 4+ ¢ Step in and take a glass of my wine, he raid.#1 have some first rate, made from prime white I raised myself.\u2019 +t Thank you !I don\u2019t drink wine,\u2019 I said.4¢¢ Take gin, then ?I've got that, too, he urgel.4 ¢Oh 1 no, sir\u2014nothing of that sort for me,\u201d anid I, while I bade him good-night and went my way.\u201cBut the next Sundsy afternoon, on my way to the Sabbath-xchool I stopped there, and asked for a drink of water.The man was quite civil to me.| finally asked him if he would not go along with me to the school.He refuted, but he was not angry.Several of us students began to pray for him, and after a while our hearts were made glad by seeing him among us in the Sunday-school.Since that he has signed the ple:lize, and goes to church quite regularly.Not long ago, he told me that he thought there was & great deal mm the dog killing tlic sheep and saving the lambs.Asking him what he meant le said, «Oh!

they having 300,000 men, and he bat half that number.Tue udds were against him before tha first shot was fired, but were made doubly great by the desperation of German patriotism.The great captain struggled with all the might d his genius against the Providence that, on the flat fields around Leipzig, broke his hoid on Germauy.Calm as the tree where he sto:d, tarning bis glass slowly from point to point, and giving bis orders deliberately, in brief, clear words, be hurled his troops with all the force of an avalanche agaiot the allies, until the cloud thickened, and the conflict became more intense around the very walls of the city; after which he who was always great when on the aggressive, now exhibited an inferior capacity in conducting a retreat.It is more than likely that he would bave been captured if it had not been for the Spartan daring of Macdonald and Pouistowaki.Isawthebusy reapers gathering their ripe barley from these now peaceful but once rent and quaking fields.They swung their sickles skilfully around she monuments, seeming to take no thought of the memorable days, half & century ago, when their tathers bought those fieidaat the expense of brave blood, and when Lhe battle- dela.was covered with over & hundred thousand killed and wounded, and the Elster was 20 choked with dead bodies that the fated Poniatowski could not ewim bis horse over to the safer side.THE UNIVERSITY OF LEIPZIG, The University stands on & large open aregy [tL was easy enough to tell where it asus the little clusters of students, with caps and watebbands of bright colors, who stood at the doorway, smoking and eating cherries.The Library is not as large as many others in Europe, but it is well arrang- od aad kept in excellent condition.I was fortunate iu Leing conducted through it by a very excellent young clergyman, who was connected with it.Une of the treasures is a besutifully illuminated Hebrew MS, of the twelfth century.Two of the first printed Bibles, in clenr type and on the finest velluan, keep each other company in a special case.THE MONTREAL WITNESS.sity of Prague.Un the wall there Lange a portrait from the life vf Huss, which tbe seceders taken Ly Lucas Cranch, after their deuth,\u2014one of the miner's sous who, with heavy Jick and mighty muscle, brought up the rough quartz from its long concesiment : the other ul\u2019 the skilful artiticer, wbo kuew how tu polish the ure gold into forms of exquisite and lusting vauty, vines of Germany in its theological faculty.Tischendorf lectures on the Lspistle to the Galatians twice 8 weuk ;

but towards the close they rise into thoughtfulness, and ehow that the young traveller was aging in experience very fast.A few extracts will best illustrate these sentiments.After telling us sometbing about New York, be says :\u2014¢ We set off on the 10th April for Boston.Our first experience of American railway travelling was very pleasant and entertaining, afterall the accountswe had read of its discomforts and Lothers.The passengers looked most respectable people, and I saw: as little spitting, or anything unusual or disagreeable in their behavior, ua one would in similar society in England.One bas beard so much of American peculiarities from writers who like to harp upon every little angularity they may either have seen or imagined they have seen, that one is surprised to observe how much the Awericans resemble other folks.\u201d Everybody has heard the story of the man who, having climbed a mountain, became alarmed aa he saw the form of a huge-looking person in the ist which covered the top; snd his fears were agreeably relieved when he found, when the mist passed away, that he was approaching his own brother, who bad come up from the other side.So with our American brethren ; and not with them only, but many others ; at a distance, and with warlike governments between us, we entertain all soris of feelings towards the foreigner; but when we come together under circumstances calculated to call forth our mutual sympathies, we find him to be both & man and a brother.In America the Marquis of Lorne met with a goodly number of Irishmen wo called themselves Fenians.The waiters at the hotels were chiefly of this class.An amuting conversation with one of them is given: \u2014 + \u2018Yes, we are strong; stronger than you think, hat'll you have now ?* ¢¢Roaat potatoes and beefsteaks.\u2019 «Ye shall bave them, then, sir.The old country will be à different place soon.We'll see who's the strongest.Potatoes, air?\u2019 Yes, sir;\" and he laid them down with anem- phatic crash, that told of awful resolution.sé «Weil, what rights do you wish to bave ?\u201cRights ! why, the right to live in a free country.Look at this country.There's no arrests here.\u2019 « When the beefateak came, I told him of the harm bis friends were doing in the old country, and how money was being kept away.wt Ye'll see Oirland a different place before long.It's not for the priests, and they are against it ; but it's not them we'll mind.Look what they\u2019re doing at Esatport ; they will be in Canada befure long.\u2019 After some further talk of this sort, the Marquis asked this Fenian to specify some particular griovance, but he could not.He spoke \u2018in general terms, of tyranny to be broken down, of the approaching termination of Ireland's oppression, and of a future unlimited freedom; but of anything definite for which they were to fight, be had not à word of explanation.\u201d LIFEINSURANCE VERSUS SALVA.N.BY REY.JAMKS F.HOLCOMB, On entering a business man's office in one of our cities, some time ago, my attention was attracted by & card posted conspicuously, and having on it the following : \u201c18 YOUR LIFE INSURED?\" \u201c Remember, life Is but a shadow, Ita date the intermediate breath we draw ;

lunch at four, and supper at seven, There operations are applicable to the Grunt farm.Upon the other tarms, other The Univeraity has some of the foremost dli- | ance as put aguinst the salvation of the soul, | reapers and men are likewise employed.Upon the several farms, the proprietor has had erected full sets of zubatantial buildings of sufficient capacity for one hundred wen and about the sume number of horses.This crop has been visited by the neighbors; andlieir judgment is that there will be fiom twenty-five to thirty busliels to the uvre, Take the lowest estimate, and we lave, on seventeen hundred acres, forty-two thousand five hundred bushels of wheat, which at present prices delivered at market, say one dollar aud fifty cents per bushel, will amount to the «nug sut of sixty-three thousand seven hundred and fty dollars, lt is not only safe to say that this is the largest yield of wheat given to any mau in the United States this year, but probubly the most profitable of any crop produced for the sume time inany State, I um informed by a gentleman on the ground, who knows the cost of the property, that at these figures Mr.Dalrymple will not only be reimbursed for the original outlay for land, houses, labor, seed, fences, implements, horses, &c., but will bave à clear profit of at least twenty thousand dollars.I bave submitted this instavce of farming in Min- nesola as nn evidence of the ability of the Northwest to supply its full share to the measure of abuudance required for the march of empire which \u201cwestward takes its way,\u2019 and also to give proper credit to the energy and enterprise of this worthy pioneer in biz farming.\u2014 Observer, in the St.Paul Pioneer of Aug.20th.Higa CriTivariox.\u2014The Maine Farmer alluding to the subject of * bigb cultivation,\u2019 £0 much talked of and written about, says tha there is much more talk than improvement A man looks over his farm of many acres, and finds the whole needs sid ;
