so I easily convinced myself that the lady was 2\\ngelina, and stepping up to her, addressed ber by tha§ name.She made no reply, except by a slight laugh.This assured me she was indulging in a coquettish trick.I was not to be deceived in that manner.I persevered, therefore, rattling away all sorts of pretty nonsense, and telling her in every possible delicate manner how much I idolized her.Goodness gracious! how eloquent I felt, and how happy.In this manner we proceeded up one street and down another, until we reached the second Avenue and Nineteenth street.I did not know where Angeline lived.\u2014 She never told me, She had forbidden me to see her all the way home.But l knew she lived in the Second Avenue.\u2014 On this occasion I had implored my silent companion since it was after nigat, to permit me to escort her to the door.Sii- gnce gives consent, you know, and I did it, She paused in front of a large and noble dwelling.Good, thought I, my sagacity was not at fault; she is aristocratically connected.She placed one little foot on the brown stone door-step ; then, as if she had changed her mind and did not care to ring the bell in my company, she proceeded to the arca gate, opened it, and entered.I followed, of course.Perhaps it was a little impudent on my part ; but she turned her head toward me me as I passed in, and I could have sworn I saw or heard a token of invitation.That was enough for an impulsive lover.She opened the area door; I still pursued her.She passed in; so did I, closing the door after me.She entered the front basement \u2014a species of sitting-room\u2014and thence glided through into the rear basement into the kitchen.I was close at her heels.- The gas was burning brightly ia the kitchen; but I never stopped to think of my dilemma, and seizing her by the hand murmured: \u201cOh! Angeline, how delighted you make me.\u201d She threw off her bonnet and veil, and whew! she was a total stranger.I had never seen her before.I felt at that moment the full force of my ridiculous position.I did not lose my self-possession, however.On the contrary I threw myself into a chair and laughed heartily, although my heart was rapidly making an exploring expedition away down into my boots.My companion proved to be a good looking young woman, evidently a domestic in the house in question.My assurance astonished her at first; but recovering herself, she asked it she should call for assistance to pitch me into the street.In the most insinuating terms possible, 1 painted to her my mistake, implored her to forgive me, and protested that I had not the most distant idea of insultintg one whom I was convinced was as pure as she was beautiful.That little piece of flattery secured my favor, She forgave me, pointed to the door, and desired me to go, as she expected every moment a message from the parlor above in regard to lunch.I thanked her and turned to depart.door, I heard the sound of feet descending the stairs.How should I escape?Where should I fly to?Quick as thought I darted into a tall closet that stood in the corner of the room.The upper part con-} tained shelves, but the lower part afforded me space enough to crowd into, doubled up.The girl immediately closed the door on me and buttoned it.I did not feel very \u2018comfortable, fastened up in that box.Suppose I should not be let out! But all fear of this was lost in a still greater apprehension, when I heard the voice of a male individual who had entered the kitchen.I concluded to remain quietly where I was.As soon as he departed, the girl came to me, and unbuitoning the door, told me I had made a fortunate escape, and added that if I did not wish to compromise both her and myself, I had better come out of that dumb-waiter aud be gone.\u2018Dumb-waiter I\u2019 I exclaimed, \u2018am I in a dumb-waiter, and liable to be hoisted up in a twinkling to the parlor?\u2019 Here was a fright.I uncoiled myself to escape ; but just as I rose, away went the dumb waiter up toward the ceiling with myself inside.The jar of the first movement threw me back.I had no time to recover my feet and leap.I could but pull the door to as the box ascended, while the paroxysm of laughter that afitict- ed the girl in the kitchen went to my heart, and smote me with feeling akin to madness.I would have sold myself at that momenr for three cents of any decent man\u2019s money.You may guess exactly how I looked when the dnmb-wairer having reached the dining-room floor above, I heard the sound of half a dozen voices.Amongst them my heart recognized that of Angelina herself, as she exclaimed : \u2018Now, Pa, do let us have lunch, I am go hungry.\u2019 \u2018Yes, you will,\u201d I thought, when you see the cold meat that\u2019s ready for you »\u2019\u2014for an icy perspiration was dropping from eve- There was a table set, and.around it I beheld Angelina, her father and mother, (as I presumed.) two brothers and two sisters.Angclina shrieked and fainted, I darted toward the door, but not quite in time to escape a blow from the back of a chair aimed at me by one of the young gentlemen.I scrambled to my feet and then you should have seen the race, Fortunately the waiter was just admitting a gentleman at the open hall door as I reached it.Delighted at the chance I bounded past the visitor and made one leap to the pavement, three more placed me on the platform of a Second avenue car just passing.Need I say I have never entered Union Park since?I detest the spot.Âs to Angelina, the very thought of her makes my blood run cold; and if you want to create belligerent feelings in my bosom at any time, just say \u2018dumb-wait- er\u2019 to me and look out.That's all.ll WHAT IS TO BE DONE WITH OUR CHARLEY ?BY HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.Yes\u2014that is the question! The fact is, there seems to be no place in heaven above or earth beneath, exactly safeand suitable, except the bed.While he is asleep there, our souls have rest\u2014we know where he is and what he is about, and sleep is a gracious state ; but then he wakes up bright and early, and begins tooting, pounding, hammering, singing, meddling, and asking questions; in short, overturning the peace of society generally for about thirteen hours out of every twenty-four.Everybody wants to know what to do with him\u2014everybody is quite sure that he can\u2019t stay where they are.The cook can\u2019t have him in the kitchen, where he infests the pantry to get flour to make paste for his kites, or melt lard in the new saucepan.If he goes into the wood-shed, heis sure to pull the wood-pile dowu upon his head.If he be sent into the garret, you think for a while that you have settled the problem,till you find what a boundless fold for activity 15 at once opened, amid all the packages, boxes, bags, barrels and cast-off rubbish there.Old letters, newspapers, trunks of miscellaneous contents, are all rummaged, and the very reign of chaos and c¢ld night is instituted.He sees endless capacities in all, and he is always hammering something, or knocking something apart, or sawing, or planing, or drawing boxes and barrels in all directions to build cities or lay railracad tracks, till everybody's head aches quite down to the lower floor, and everybody declares that Charley must be kept out of the garret.Then you send Charley to school, and hope you are fairly rid of him for a few hours at least, but he comes home noisier and more breezy than ever, having learned of some twenty other Charleys, every separate resource for Leeping up a commotion that the supcrabundant vitality of each can originaie.He can dance like Jim Smith\u2014be haa learned io smack his lips like Joe Brown\u2014and Will Briggs has shown kim how to mew like a cat, and he enters the premises with a new war-wkoop, learned from Tom Evans, 1le feels large and valorous; he has learned that he is a boy, and has a general impression that he is growing immensely strong and knowing, and despises more than ever the conven- tionalities of parlor life; in fact ke is more than cver an interruption in the way of decent folks, who want to be quiet.It is true that if entertaining persons will devoie themsclves exclusively to him, reading and telling stories, he may be kept quiet ; but then this is discouraging work for he swallows a story as Rover does a piece of meat, and looks at you for another and another, without the slightest consideration, so that this resource is of short duration, and then the old question comes back: What is to be done with him ?But after all, Charley cannot be wholly shirked, for ke is an institutioh\u2014 a solemn and awful fact; and on the answer to the question, What is to be done with him ?depends a future.Many a hard, morose, bitter man has come from a Charley turned off and neglected ; many a parental heart-ache has come from a Charley left to run the streets that mamma and sisters might play on the piano, and write letters in peace.Itis easy to get rid of hfm ; there are-fifty ways of doing that.He is a spirit that can be promptly laid, but if not laid aright will come back, by-and-by, a strong man armed, when you cannot send him off at pleasure.Mamma and sisters had better pay a little tax to Charley now, than a terrible one by-and-by.There is something significant in the old English phrase, with which our scriptures render us familiar, a MAN child\u2014a MAN child.There you have the word that should make you think more than twice before you answer the ques- tlon\u2014 \u2018What shall we do with Charley ?\u201d For to-day he is at your feet; to-day you can make him laugh, you can make him cry, you can persuade, coax, and turn him to your pleasure ; you can make his eyes fill and his bosom swell with recitals of good and noble deeds; in short, you can mould him if you will take the trouble.But look ahead some ycars, when that litéle voice shall ring in deep bass tones; when that small foot shall have a man\u2019s weight and tramp; when a rough beard shall cover that little, round chin, and the wilful strength of manhood fill out that little form.Then you would give worlds for the key to his heart, to be able to turn and guide bim to your will; but if you will lose that key now he is little, you may search for it carefully, with tears,some other day, and never find it.Old housekeepers have a proverb, that one hour lost in the morning is never found all day.It has a significance in thie case.One thing is to be noticed about Charley, that rude, and busy, and noisy as he is, and irksome as carpet rules and parlor ways are to him, he is still a social little creature, and wants to be where the rest of the household are.A room ever so well adapted for play, eannot charm him at the hour when the family is in reunion; ry pore.play-room scems desolate.It may be warmed by a furnace and lighted with gas but it is Aumar.warmth and light he shivers for; he ycarns for the talk of the family, which he co imperfectly comprehends, and he longs to take his playthings down and play by you, and is incessantly promising that of the fifty improper things which he is liable to do in the parlor, he will not commit one if you will let him stay there.The instinct of the little one is Nature's warning plea\u2014God\u2019s admonition.O, how many a mother who has neglected because it was irksome to have the child about, has longed at swamty-five to koep her son by her side, and he would not! Shut out as a ltttle Arab; constantly told that he ie noisy, that he is awkward and meddie- some, aud 8 plague in general, the boy has found at last his own company in the streets, in the highways and hedges, where he runs till the day comes when tho parents want their son, and the sisters their brother, and then they are scared at the face he brings back to them, as he comes all foul and smutty from tke companionship to which thgy have doomed him.\u2014 Depend upon it, if it is too much trouble to keep your bop in ycur society, there will be places found fag him\u2014warmed and lighted with no friendly fires\u2014where he who finds some mischief still for idle hands to do, will care for him, if you do not.\u2014 You may put out a tree ana it will grow while you sleep, but a son you cannot\u2014 you must take trouble for him, either a little now or a great deal by-and-by.Let him stay with you at least some portion of every day ; bear his noise and his ignorant ways.Put aside your book or work to tell him a story, or show him a picture ; devise still parlor plays for he gains nothing by being allowed to spoil the comfort of the whole circle.A pencil, a sheet of paper, and a few patterns will sometimes keep him quiet by you for an hour, while you are talking, or in a corner he may build a block-house, annoying nobody.If he-does now and then disturb you and it costs you more thought and care to regulate him there, balance which is the greatest evil\u2014to be disturbed by him now, or when he is a man.Of all you can give your Charley, if you are a guod man or woman, your presence is the best and safest thing.God never meant him to do without you any more than chickens were meant to grow without being brooded.Then let him have some place tn your house where it shall be no sin to hammer and pound, and make all the litter his heart desires and his various schemes require.Even if you can ill afford the room, weigh well between thaÿ safe asylum and one which, if denied, he may make for himself in the street.Of all devices for Charley which we have, a few shelves which ho may dignify with the name of, a cabinet is one of the best.He picks up shells and pebbles and stones, all odds and ends, nothing comes amiss; and if you give him a pair of scis-| sors and a little gum, there is no end of the labels ho will paste on, and the hours he may innocently spend sorting and arranging.A bottle of liquid gum is an invaluable resource for various purposes, nor must you mind though he varnish his nose and fingers and clothes, (which he will do of course,) if he does nothing worse.A cheap paint-box, and some engravings to color is another ; and if you will give him some 7eal paint and putty to paint and putty his boats and cars, he is a made man.All these things make trouble\u2014to be sure they do\u2014but Charley 4s to make trouble, that is the nature of the institution, you are only to choose between safe and wholesome trouble, and the trouble that comes at last like a whirlwind.God bless the little fellow, and send us all grace to know what to do with him.REPRESENTATIVE REFORM AND THE UNION OF THE COLONIES, A Sherbrooke contemporary is very anxious to know whether in any scheme to be propounded for the union of the colonies, the old lines of demarcation are to be followed, or the Lower Canada of old is to be reconstited ?That were scarcely to be thought of.If a federation is to be attempted, we believe that equality of representation by Provinces in the Upper House of the federal Parliament, after the fashion of the United States Senate will be adopted almost perforce, and Canada would not be content with but two out of six parts of the representation there.Her wealth, the diversity of interests which we all recognise in different parts of the country, not less than her population would call for subdivision into three or four provinces.Inthe Western Province of Lower Canada, or the Central Province, care should be taken to balance races and creeds as well ag interests, as closely as possible ; geographical features might serve for the other dividing lines, should more than two be created, Our Sherbrooke contemporary need not fear, therefore, that the condition of the townships will receive any damage by the re-division.A Quebec contemporary on the other hand fears the sinister influences likely to be exerted against French Canadian institutions.\u2014 if the local legislatures be only given suf- ficignt power to guard them\u2014if they be given the task of dealing with the educational and charitable institutions of each Province (as is the case in the United States), they need fear nothing of the sort.In the Province which will have Montreal for ite chief city (whether one of three or one of four) the same battle will require to be fought as is now being fought under conditions not dissimilar to those now existing.In the district of Quebec, French Canadians will have it all their own way as in the old times.So they have nothing to fear\u2014much less than now.They may reject this scheme if they will, but they will assuredly fare worse forit.The population basis is undoubtedly a false one on which to place representation, but when the preponderance of population, wealth and contributions to the treasury is shown to be altogether upon one side of the bo undary, and naught but a larger he hears the veices in the parlor, and his area of wilderness territary te counterbalance it, on the other ; when the next census shall have shown us, if it do, as is not fo contend longer against an inercased representation to the Western Province in the Assembly.Nor should we desire to contend against it, if we could be assured of the honorable maintenance of equality in the Council.But when we are told by the Rouge Grits that they will carry party warfare thither\u2014nay, when we see men mad enough to talk of claiming for that body the power to initiate money bills, we know not where it may stop; that body will require next to be reformed or abolished altogether, and we shall find perchance ere long the theoretical doctrines of French Jacobinism proclaimad as the bases of our government in a single legislative assembly which will cease to recognize loyalty to our Sovereign as a duty, which will contemn it as.an old-time,worn out prejudice.\"lhitherwards tend our politics in so far as the Brown-Dorions can guide them, and with us les choses vont vites, If there were any recognition of the necessity for conservative checks in the constitution by these root-and-branch reformers\u2014any of that common sense which teaches that \u201cthe people\u2019 are not angels.and that the least wealthy and least \u201ceducated are not the most likely to judge aright\u2014if, we say, we could recognize any gleam of this sort of reason among them, we might be inclined to give them and some of their doctrines a trial.But there is no manifestation of anything of the sort.Mr.Brown has openly declared in Parliament his preference of a single- house Legislature to one.with an Elective Council; and those who share his views are prepared to arrogate to the Upper House all the prerogatives of the Lower, Mr.Dorion and his trusty henchman in that House, Mr, Dessaalles, declaring they will carry on party war there to the knife.Anything were better than to allow these madmen to tinker with the constitution.We would submit with a grumble and a shrug to much corruption and mismanagement ere we would trust the care of the Provincial constitution to such hands as these.They would end by imposing upon us a worse democracy than that of the United States.Nay, we know some of the Rouges, when shown the evils of that Government, say they arise from the compromises of the American constitution, that it would be better if more purely dem- acratic\u2014if, for instance, the powor of appointment to office were taken altogether out of jhe hands of the President and Governors, and left, in all cases to the people, &c., &c.Mr.Brown once held such views in honest alhorrence, but he is in good hands to be taught to admire them, His single House idea is a step in the ul- tra-democratic path; and his journal has lately threatened the Judges that they are on their trial with the country, If they don\u2019t do better, we suppose the new school reformers will make their offices elective, after the fashion of the United States.Mr, Dorion tells us of \u2018checks\u2019 which Mr.Brown consented to as a set-off for representation by population.But of what value are \u2018checks,\u2019 when these men who make this bargain are prepared to violate the recognized checks of the constitution with respect to the Legislative Council?They might indeed bind Mr.Brown\u2014but he announces his intention to retire from public life when his two pet measures are inflicted on the country ; will his successors recognize them?The best and only check Mr.Dorion should know, if not blinded by the desire of power, is in a conservative majority, which prevents further present tampering with the constitutional balance of power.When the present constitution is overturned, but one check can prove effectual, and that is federation.It is a questicn which may deserve present attention, whether there may not be a partial recognition of the federal principle in a new appointment of representation.The boundary line between Upper and Lower Canada does not form a division line of in- serest or races, A re-division with three or four nominal arrondisements or Provinces for representation purposes might, perchance, be made, equally between them, iustead of the present Provinces granted, and the balance of representation thus preserved, before any union is brought about with the other Provinces, or a federal leg- 1slature, apart from separate sectional legislatures, brought into being.Coupled with a consultative Council, this measure might pzove a useful preliminary step towards that fuller development of national existence, to which we are doubtless tending.= \u2014\u2014\u2014em_ AN ENLIGHTENED HrNDoo.\u2014The following letter from Dukheha Rujun Moor- kera, a Hindoo native of Calcutta, on missionary zeal in India, we give from a late number of the London Times.It was written in reply to certain letters in a Stirling paper, in which missionary enterprise was alleged to have been a leading cause of the late military revolt in India.Our Hindoo Philosopher says :\u2014 \u201cAs the missionary conscientiously believes that it is his duty to benefit the Hin- doos by preaching to them what he devotedly thinks to be the Word of God, it would be offering violence to his religion were the Government to prevent his doing so.Moreover the disinterested wish of the missionaries to promote the weal of my countrymen.as indicated by the numerous charity schools and colleges they have established, and keep up from funds raised among the members of their communion in Europe and America, the purity of the !ives they lead operating as living examples of morality upon all who come in contact with them (and their iutercourse with their native population is more frequent and familiar than that of other foreigners), the smile of genuine affection with which the missionary invariably greets the Hindoo when they meet one another, the unalloyed sympathy he evinces towards him, the consolation he offers in the hour of his anxiety and distress, and when applied to, the aid and advice he is sure to afford him in all cases, whether the ailment be of the Body or the mind, have conduced to make the missionaries the most liked and trusted of all foreigners in our native community; you are, therefore, mistaken in thinking that unlikely, things like these; it will be idle | a frantic Mahometan, vowed death to every one who dures to bocome a Christian.\u2019 \u201d The Hindoo writer rebukes the Scottish correspondent for his uncharitable attacks upon Lord Shaftsbury and men of like mind :\u2014 \u201cYou mention Lord Shaftesbury and others of London as busying themselves to get up a Christianising crusade to India.So far as I have read of the procecd- ings of the societies with which that nobleman is connected, or of his public speeches, thore has been nothing to warrant this idea in any bad or objectionable sense.\u2014 His Lordship and friends never advocated the compulsory conversion of my countrymen to Christianity, but have always been the foreraost amongst the nobility, and gentry of Britain to promote the cause of morality, sound education, and, as those geaerous men conscientiously believe cf \u2018rue religion in Hindostan.\u2014 Personally, of course, I know uothing of Lord Shaftsbury, but I canzot allow the opportunity to escape without recording my grateful sense, as well as those of my compatriots who had the means of knowing them, of his invaluable services in Hin- dostan.\u201d As to the mistaken view that religion was the cause of the Indian revolt :\u2014 \u201cAllow me to repeat you err in thinking, that religion has heen at the bottom of all those atrocities.*I assure you, \u2018 Sir that religion in the way in which you seem to image has had nothing to do with this rebzllion whatever.You seem to be under the impression that \u201cthe former policy of the India Company, not to admit missionaries into their possessions was a wise one, and to those changes in their policy which have subsequently been made may be ascribed the sole causc of these disasters.\u201d The former policy you advert to was, in my decided opinion, unjust alike to the missionaries and to my countrymen; in as much as it deprived the former of all means of exercising here the duties enjoined ou them by their religion, which in plain English was an infringement of one of their essential rights as subjects\u2014a right, the possession and free use of which has never been known within the last 80 years, to have done here an iota of harm to any living being whatsoever, but, on the contrary, has tended materially to raise the British character in the cstimation cf our community by presenting to view the only foreigners who tread the soil of Hindostan on the noble errand of disinterestedly doing good to her children: its injustice to our people could only be calemdated by holding before the mind\u2019s eye the benign and salutary influence which the intercourse of the mission- arics with our people has exercised upon their manners.the vast benefits they have conferred upon the populace by gratuitously imparting to thousands the blessings of improved education, who, but for their lavor of love would have grovelled in darkness and starvation, and the impetus their righteous examples have giveñ to the cause of moral and social progress where- ever they have made their sojourn.Let us, also, bear in mind the circumstance that, in a country like this, where the Government is despotic, the people are denied all voice in the administration, the press exists only in a few cities, principally in a foreign language, and, with two er three exeeptions, professedly as the organ of foreigners, and its use and advantages are totally unknown to the bulk of the people, the existence of so independent a body as the missionaries, the sacred nature of whose calling entitles them unreservedly to point out their faults and merits to all men, whether in high places or low, operates as a check against the abuse of powgr.The ancient Hindoo aristocracy, who felt both pride and pleasure in promoting native arts and encouraging native learning, have nearly dwindled and vanished away wherever the British have planted their rule in Hindostan, as the inevitable result of a system which excludes the children of the soil from all high offices of trust and emolument in the State which formerly belonged them, the Brahmins have lost the patrons who enabled them to maintain the many thousands of tols and patsholns (i.e., Sanscrit colleges and vernacular schools) which provided gratuitous education, with board, to the poor throughout the whole length and breadth of the land ; and to prohibit the missionaries, who in a great measure fill the places of the lcarned Brahmins as regards the charitable distribution of knowledge to our indigent population, would be to deprive of advantages, for the loss of which, under the present state of things, nothing could compensate.\u201d Lr ss FFRETFUL PrerrLe.\u2014\u201cMen make themselves

insipid, fewnd in most soils and plants, and exists very abundantly in most parts of the globe, and sometimes comprising entire mountains., .When used as a fertilizerit is ground fine in mills arranged for that purpose.\u2014 It is then in the form of a dry white powder, and is often applied in this way as a top dressing, usually for grasses and clover, for whieh it is much esteemed by many of our farmers, who value it above most mineral substances when used for this pure pose.That gypsum is really a great additicr to the fertilizing resources of the farm, we think can hardly be doubted at the present time by sensible practical men; but that it really possesees in itself much virtue as a manure, we think admits of a doubt.That it is found in plants is true, but in: very small proportion to other ingredients ; hence we are inclined to favor the opinion that it \u2018acts more like lime and other minerals in chemically affecting the soil and its manifold ingrediomts, than as a simple manure; or etherwise that it is secondary in its effects.Its chief use when applied with manures especially tLose rich in ammonia and other volatile substances, is its great power of absorption, which enables it to take up the gases and fluids which would otherwise be lost, and keep them in reserve for the future demands of the plant.This last mentioned quality of sulphate of lime should be sufficient reasoa for ite every-day use and appreciation by all til lers of the soil.As an absorbent of all the various rich elements of manure, & is more valuable than most other like substances, either vegetable or mineral, as it not only ab- surbs, but disinfects all smell from the offals of both the stable and house, leav- a clear and healthy atmosphere where nothing but disease could have been generated but for its timely use and correetion.We have already recommended its use in a mixture with guano, when that fertilizer is applied, and we do not doubt that it suves much that would otherwise be lost of that light and easily dissipated manure, If it is never used as a dircet application to the soil, still it should always be.kept on hand, so that it will be handy to-sprin- kle wherever the waste of the precious liquids and gases require a speedy absorbant.By thus using, many dollars may be coined in the farmers\u2019 bank.When applied directly to the soil as a manure it has been found best adapted to.light, loamy, gravelly, and sandy soils, but is said to be of little value on heavy tenacious clays.Many have supposed: that gypsum, being itself calcareous, could act with little advantage on soils containing similar matter, and as it contains both alkali and sulphuric acid, which becomes neutralized when combined in equal proportions, it was imagined that its effects would be trifling.But we will pass over these \u2018lions in the path\u2019 which are after all nothing else, às experience has proved that such objections, however large they may appear on paper, are far from being 80 in practice, for although these sub+ stances may neutralize each other, they avidaatly act on the soil each with its owa + particular merits, and probably the soil itself prevents any such calamity as that re« ferred to by #s gnion with the two con stituents.\u2018That plasger is injurious in its effects we have little reason to apprehend, for on poor sterile lands it proves of no advantage until an application of some kind of dung is made ; it then appears to give life and activity to the soil, and lux- urience to the growth of vegetation, It also acts beneficially on green crops which are designed for enriching the soil, Ly plowing them under ; it produces more cf- fect when applied in dry, than in wet weather ; and some persons have imagined that it attracts the dew, adducing the fact that dew will remain much longer on that portion of fields which has been top« dressed with it.It should be sowed afterjand wot before a rain.Grasses, clover and old pastures, are often improved very much;by a light dies- sing of three or four bushels per acre; which often shows its effects for several years.Some have maintained that gypsum in its effects upon land, acts similarly to lime, producing good crops for a few years, and then leaving the land in paor condition.That it may do so when used as a substitute for barn-yard manure, we do not doubt, for no mineral manure, however valuable, can ever sustain land any length of years without the occasional ad« dition of vegetable matter.But om the whole it may be considered less injurious than any of the concentrated fertilizers when applied in this manner.- It should be sown early in the spring, at about the starting time of vegetation, On grain crops it has been less used than on grasses, and with less favorable results; but it is recommended as a good dressing for a clover lea, which is intended to be plowed in the full for wheat, and through this medium it acts very advantageously on the succeeding crop of wheat.If sowed in the fall on grass-sward, which is to be turned under in the spring for Indian corn, we are told it will often \u2018show itself\u2019 in the corn.G.T.H, Derru FoR SErrine Trurs.\u2014Treew should be generally set the same depth that they previously stood in the soil, allowing for the settling of the newly stirred earth.On heavy soils, they

TROUBLES\u2014RESIGNATION OF Mr.Sicorta.\u2014 Within the past few days rumors Lave been curreut of political dissensiens in the Cabinet.It now seems to be settled that the recent resignation of Mr.Sicotte has arisen from a difference of opinion between that gentleman and his collsagues upon the Seat of Government question.\u2018The Herald says that Mr.Bicotte insisted upon having that vexed question definitively settled, while the other members of the administration wished to leave the Question open, er \u2018in other words that they would declare no policy upon it.It is also said hat Mr.Sieette wished to have it understood that the Seat of Government was to be in Lower Canada.We cannot say how mach truth there may be in these reports, but as we think At more natural to suppose that one man was \u2018unreasonable rather than thit the majority was wenselots, we should not be at all jsurprised if it should tura out that matters stand in quite à different position from that assumed by the Horald, In the Montreal Gazette of Tuesday, we seo it stated that it is rumored that the Governmant determined to stand or fall by the Queen's decision wpoe the Seat of Government and that to such a policy, Mr.Sicotte would not agree.This séems to us.prabable.\"If true, it is Mr.Sicotte who has no policy, and not his colleagues.It is difficult to aocount for Mr.Sicotte\u2019s recent step.\u2018le voted, if we are not mistaken for the Queen\u2019s award.He was one of the ministry who resigned upon the same question,and now he changes his opinions,'and quarrels with his colleagues for not coming to his views.We trust that the rumors lately afloat respecting the designs of Mr.Sicotte while his colleagues were in England, may not be found to afford the key to his recent abandonment of the ministry.The Seat of Government question as it now stands is one of great importance.Had it been left to be decided by the House, it would have been a question upon which no Ministry could be expected to declare that they would stand or fall.It was one upon which, so many local interests being concerned, the members of no Cabinet could agree.But now the case is very different.By asking the Queen to exci cise her prerogative in fixing the Seat of Government, \u2018the representatives and people of Canada bound themselves in honor to abide by her decision.To refuse to do so would be moral dishonesty.It is of the highest consequence to every nation that its reputation for honorable dealing should be maintained inviolate.In the case of Canada it is particularly important.Upon the idea that obtains in England of-the integrity of our statesmen and people depends in a great measure the material prosperity of this Prov- inoe.How can we ask English Capitalists to Tisk their means upon our national credit when they could justly taunt us with the violation of an obligation binding upon -gur honor, an obligation too, the disregard of which invoivos be marked disrespect to our Sovereign?In this light the question which has already created so much trouble in our political world rises into one of vital interest to the country.We cannot see how the present Ministry can do otherwise than make the abiding by the Queen's award a distinct point in their policy.We have confidence that they will.do so and that the people,rising above local prejudices and predilections, will sustain them in it, The State Trials.Buch was the title given by the Rouge-Grit press, to the examination of the suits brought sgainst ministers, doubtless, with the view of

opinions of the judges, at length.Chief Justice Draper, whilst admitting that the changes effected by Ministers were not contemplated by «he framers of the Act, clearly expresses his opinion that the sation of Ministers was legal.His Lordship aftef-a long and able speech gave judgment in favor of defendants.QUEEN'S BENCH.On.Saturday afternoon, in the Court of Queen's Bench, in the case of Allan McDonnell against Hon.Sidney Smith, His Lordship Chief \"Justice Robinson delivered a judgment of great length, and learning, which he concluded as follows :\u2014\u2018\u2018In order to entitle the plaintiff to zecover upon any one of the counts in this de- «laration, it is indispensable that we should find \u2018it established by admission in the pleadings xsince we are dealing only with issues of law and there has _been no occasion for the intervention of a jury) that this defendant did not vacate his seat in the Assembly by the accept- \u2018ance of office.That he was legally holding the \u2018office of Postmaster General, and a seat in the Assembly, on the 29th of July is undisputed.Whether, upon what we found in the pleadings, he can be held to have vacated his seat in the Assembly, by acceptance of office after that day depends entirely on the provisions of the statute 20th Vic.chap.22, And it appears to me that, giving to the 7th section of that act, the construction which its language demands, no one who was holding in July any one of the offices mentioned in the 3rd clause, and holding at the same time a seat in the Legislative As- semhly, can be held to have vacated his seat by resigning that office and accepting another of the enumerated offices within one month, whatever may have been his private or public motive for resigning or accepting.Whether the sustaining what was done in this case as being literally sanetioned by the act be or be not incompatible with the due and fair working ot what is called Responsible Government, is not a question for us ; but points rather to a re-con- sideration of the statute by those who can alter its provisions, if they find that it has been per- werted to a purpose not foreseen, and therefore not duly guarded against.Their Lordships, Justices McLean and Burns also delivered lengthy judgments in this case, their views coinciding with those of the Chief Justice.In the case of Allan McDonnell against Hon P.M.Vaukougbnet.Chief Justice Rubineou also delivered judgment for defendant, These trials { \u2014- www te an.THE CLOSING YEAR.Another year, with all its deeds and misdeeds; achievements and failures, is now in its last gasp\u2014in the throes of death ; and soon its events will become matter of history.Its departure suggests many reflections ; and amidst the mirth and levity generally and rightfully indulged in, at this season,every thinking mind will find time for reflection on the past, and contemplation of the future.On the past to see if its course of action has been a wise one; to learn the cause of its failures and its successes, that in the future it may avoid the one and improve the other.And whilst it is incumbent on us as Christians to attend to the religious duties of the season, it is also our duty as men of business to balance our accounts, ard know exactly our position in the world.This is the common duty of all, Once a year, atleast, every householder should settle with his merchant and trader, and commence the New Year afresh, remembering the maxim, that short reckonings make long friends.\u201d This season gives us an opportunity of seying a word about ourselves.It is pretty generally known that the proprietorship and management of this paper have passed into other hands, but as the Editorial department has not passed into the hands of a stranger to these columns, it is scarcely necessary to make a fresh avowal of our principles.We may however state that the same liberal conservative principies, that have heretofore controlled its management will continue to do so.We.shall as heretofore support the present Government as far as we conscientiously can ; but the general interests of the country will have our first vonsideration\u2014 to them we render our highest allegiance, and of courga shall pay more attention to measures than the men who propose them, and gupport, or oppose them according to our ides of their merit.One of the chief evils attendant upon our provincial government is hasty legislation, which should be carefully guarded against.We do not: ean that we would have our legislators extend their session.On the contrary we think that the work of the Province might be done in half the time it usually takes, if honorable members were not so fond of listening to their own eloquence, and would bear in mind that they are sent to the Legislative Assembly to legislate for the interests ot the Province, and not for their own private benefit.Measures, such as the secularization of the Clergy Reserves, and the abolition of the Seig- norial Tenure, ought, in our opinion, never to have become law in their present shape.They were assumed by the government of the day as an election cry, a political platform to go to the country with; and were hurried through the Assembly before the country was half aware of their merits or demerits; and were both unjust,\u2014the first, because it did not go far enough and the second, because it went too far.Great and important measures\u2014second to none that have ever been discussed within our Legislative Halls\u2014will shortly be laid before the Legislative Assembly.Measures which will require the most careful and patriotic consideration.We mean the proposed Union of the Provinces, and «The Inter- Jolonial Railroad Scheme.It is almost impossible to attach undue weight to these measures; for changes far beyond our anticipation will result from them.Party must not be considered in the discussion of them ; they must be treated alone on their merits.Nor must we allow them hastily to slip through our legislative chambers, in the hope that if objectionable in any way to the true interests of the Provinces, the Home Government will veto them, We believe the Imperial Government will leave the question entirely in the hands of the Provincial Governments, and ratify their decision, whatever it But to return to ourseives.Our American Correspondent \u2018\u2018Frank\u201d\u2019 will continue to favor us with his eloquent and masterly epistles, and after the lapse of a short time these welcome visits will be a little more frequent.We expect shortly to be favored with occasional, perhaps regular, correspondence from Montreal, which will greatly contribute to the interest of our paper.In the literary department increased care will be taken in the selection and composition of its articles, and, whilst seeking to - please and amuse our various readers, our chief object will be to elevate the moral tone of society.We shall continue to advocate a complete education for the masses, believing that every faculty of the human mind, ought to re- oeive its legitimate development, and not, as is too often the case now, certain powers be sacrificed to attain an undue development of others.We are opposed, as our readers well know, to what is called purely secular education, that is entire abstinence from all religious teaching, for we think it a dangerous thing to educate the intellect and leave the moral sentiments in cold neglect; whilst the passions, for want of a balancing power, grow wild and ramant.We must not omit to state that we intend, shortly to appear under the epithet of ¢Sherbrooke Times\u201d instead of ¢\u201cCanadian Times.\u201d Our reason for this is because it seems to be more natural for our exchanges, and correspondents to address us, or refer to us, under the fermer than the latter name, and therefore as they won't conform to us, we conform ta them.We also intend to favor our subscribers, during the forth-coming year, with occasional sketches of scenery and public buildings in and around Sherbrooke and other parts of the.Fownships.This will be an entirely new feature in the newspaper literature of Canada, and as each engraving will be accompanied with an historical or descriptive sketch of the place illustrated, it will be found profitable as well as pleasing.Our engraving of the late Railway Aceident\u2014though the extreme short space of time in which it wa done rendered it a poor specimen of artistic skill \u2014will serve to shew that we are not promising more than we can perform in this respect.But while we are anxiously endeavoring to do all we can to please and profit our readers, we must cull upon them to support us by being prompt in the payment of their subscriptions, and by each endeavoring te increase our circulation by procuring new subscribers.Few newspaper readers are aware of a tithe of the expense and labor required to publish a newspaper, and particularly where pictorial illustrations are given; and as we offer these increased advantages without increased charge, we hope our subscrio- ers will not let our appeal be in vain.We would suggest to our country agents and correspondents that they might each contribute to the utility of the journal by furnishing us with any little item of intelligence that may occur in their individual localities ; and, as our columns are always open to the discussion of any of the topics of the day, they may make them the vehicle of a continued correspondence at once improving and edifying.As an advertising medium, this jonrnal offers many advantages, both in extent of circulation, the class in which it circulates, and in liberality of terms.Farmers, Merchants and all others in the townships who wish to succeed, shonld avail themselves of these advadtages.I His Excellency has been pleased to appoint Messrs.William Ritchie, Walter W.Beckett, and Eleaser Clark, to be Valuators

was very thinly attended \u2014very few of those expected to be most interested in education were present.This is very disgraceful, both to this town and its vicinity Addresses were delivered by Prof.Cleveland, and Mr.Bottom.A synopsis of which will shortly be published.The following resolutions were passed, to which we \u2018tall the attention of the press, particularly to the 4th, 1.Whereas it is provided by law that there be a Council of Public Instruction in this Province, and as there are many important duties which said council can alone perform, therefore, Resolved, that we, as an association, respeet- fully, but earnestly request the appointment of said council of Public Instruction as scon as it can conveniently be done.2.Resolved, that in the opinion of t* is Association, both the convenience of teashers, and the best interests of the schools, require the appointment of a Board of Examiners for the county of Richmond in this District ; and we hereby request the chief Superintendent of Public Instruction to take into favorable consideration;the appointment of said board.3.Although there are now two Normal Schools in the City of Montreal and one in the City of Quebec,two of which (one in each city) are Cathelic and one Protestant; yet it is evident that a large proportion of the teachers of the Province cannot economically be convened at either of the aforesaid schools for Normal instruction ;3and as there is an imperative necessity for a greater number of well qualified teachers, therefore, Resolved.that justice and the highest interests af the Public Schools demand the establishment, at the earliest practicable period of another Normal School, in some central locality in the Eastern Townships.4.Resloved, that we cordially suggest to the teachers of Lower Canada, the desirableness of forming a Provincial teachers\u2019 association; and for the purpose of ascertaining the views of \u2018teachers and othcr friends of Education; Prof.John H.Graham, of St.Francis College, Richmond, is hereby appointed to receive communications; to enter into such correspondence and to adopt such measures as he may deem best to secure an expression of the opinion of educational gentlemen throughout the Province concerning such an organisation ; and report to this association at its next meeting.dn 2 Our Reaping Rood.Fellow townsmen,

the reason for his doing so is a difference between himself and his colleagues on the subject of the Seat of Government.It may, perhaps, be premature to enter into details; but we understand in general that Mr.Sicotte insisted upon having the humbug which has so long prevailed upon this matter brought to an end, and that the Government should adopt, as part of their policy, the fixing upon some city in Lower Canada, as the permanent place for the residence of the Governor General and for the meeting of the Provincial Legislature.\u2014 Though Montreal has a representative in the Cabinet, and though the Prime Minister was himself a candidate for this city at the last election, Mr.Sieotte seems to have been alone n desiring this very proper measure.CORRESPONDENCE.To the Editor of the Canadian Times, Mr.Editor :\u2014 Sir, \u2014In the Sherbrooke Gazette of last week it is gravely announced that an attempt is to be made to use the Town Debentures to prop wp the Eastern Townships Bank scheme.The Council, headed by Mayor Robertson, wish, it appears, to test the legality of the appropriation by an amicable suit.How is it Mr.Editor, that our very worthy and straight-forward Mayor has any doubts at all on the subject ?Was he not one of the obstruotives to the establishment of the Cotton Factory?and did he not oppose, by petition, as well as by other means, best known to himsclf, the use of the Town Debentures for that purpose, on the virtuous ground that such employment of the Debentures was contrary to law?Now Sir, I am myself in favor of a Bank if it be really established on a proper footing in the Country.And if this Town as well as other Municipalities wish to support such a scheme in their Corporate capacity, let them take the straight-forward course of calling a public meeting,and if the Town approves, then petition the Legislature for an amendment of the law.This testing of the matter by an \u2018amicable suit\u201d would seem to me, Sir, as \u2018a dodge,\u201d but of course the lawyers on both sides would work without charge to the Town, their object being entirely philanthropic.In conclusion, Sir, I would urge on my fellow rate-payers, to watch the proceedings of the Council closely on this Debenture matter.The handling cf some thousands does not fall to the lot of every man.The - Anniversary] a panei LIBRARY ASSOCIATION AND MECHANICS* INSTITUTE.A Synopsis of the Rev.C.P.Reid\u2019s Lecture on \u2018\u2018An Evening with Moses and the Geologists.In conseq uence of the unavoidable absence of the Rev.Mr.Fraser, who was expected to lecture last week, our respectgd pastor, the Rev.C.P.Reid, delivered a lecture, of which the following is a synopsis : The account that Moses gave of the creation of the world seems to imply that the earth, and all things thereon were made fu six literal days.On the other hand the theory maintained by modern Geologits is that these days represent periods of time immensely long,but not of indefinite duration.With this latter view the lecturer could not agree.He would by no means be understood as denying the facts on which this modern theory is supposed to rest, but hedenies the conclusions, that they are made to sustain and maintains that a literal construetion of the Mosiac days is rendered necessary even by the facts that geological research and modern science have brought to light.The magnitude of the strata of which the crust of the earth is composed, along with the different character of the material that enters into the structure of exch, se far from requiring immensely long periods for their formation, make it impossible that they could ever have been formed by any very slow proceess.Suck a supposition is both absurd in itself, and opposed to any known law of nature.Different deposits of various sorts are continually being made, but the supposition that deposits of the same kind of material can go on for very long periods\u2014for centuries\u2014for untold millions of years, is without example, and therefore, without stronger proof than mere supposition affords, incredible, And besides the variety of strata, each composed of different material, one stratum succeeding the other ià regular order, making such a condition of things still more incredible.For this would make necessary not only that the same sort of material should be continuously deposited for immensely long periods, but that at certain epochs, not defined, sudden changes in the nature of the deposits should have taken place, followed by a continuous deposit for like periods, of entirely different materials.7 The same thing also appears from the/grand geological fact that remains, both animal and vegetable have been found in immense quantities imbedded in the rocks and cou This seems to shew, iu the absence of positive proof to the contrary, that the formations in which they are found embedded, must have been made at least with comparative rapidity, since otherwise, before they could have been so embedded \u2018they must.in the ordinary course of things,have mouldered away into their original elements.But, so far from this being the case, many of these remains are found in a very perfect condition.Snch is some of the negative proof siren the theories of the geological scheol.The positive proof is no less conclusive.As all aimit at the beginning of the creation the material of which the earth is composed was under water, and intense electric heat was present.Now it is a well known fact, the bearing or application of which may be illustrated by the ordinary process of electro-plating, that substances, such as metais, &c., when chemically suspended im water, are deposited with more or less rapidity, according te the electric influence brought to bear on the water.Hence, by the natural operation of this universal law, abundant material and water, and intense electric influence being present, as\u201d all admit to be the case, the deposits composing the different strata |of the cart: must have Leen rapid, and could nct have required immensely long periods for their deposit.Accordingly in harmony with this law, Moses says distinetiy that God created the things of earth in six days.Aud these days were natural days, because they were connected with the sun and moon and orbs of heaven, of which it is said distinctly that they were placed not only to give light, but to rule over the day and over the night, determining the duration of each.TL Upon these points the Reverend Gentleman enlarged at considerable length.and illustrated his view of the subject by an analysis of the account given of the creation in the first Chapter of Genesis, shewing how consistent that account is with the wonderful discoveries that geological science has made, and with the natural opefation of causes that were necessarily active at the time of the creation, and which are even now affectively active tho\u2019 in a less intense degree.He shewed that in beginning the matter of which the earth was formed, was called into existence prepared to develope what it was afterwards to put forth, as soon as the necessary influe ce to develop its latent powers were applied.So far as the Sacred Record shews, earth, water and derkness were first bought into existence by Almighty Power.Upon these original elements the spirit of God moved or brooded, imparting to them the germs of things to be afterwards developed at the word of God.Out of the darkness light was made, which afterwards on the fourth day was transferred to the heavenly orbs, and in like manner, the water, having already had imparted to it the necessary germs of life, brought forth fish, and the earth brought forth beasts and oreeping things and feathered fowls ; and last of all man was made by the immediate act of God, and not by any concurrence of pre-exifting causes, äs in the case of the beasts of the field, in order, among other reasons, to shew the dignity of man as the end of all the other creatures that were made.Of this method of creation in regard to some of the lower grades of animal and vegetable life which were first called into being on the second day, there is still evidenoe remaining.Under the influence of like causes the earth and the water still bring forth as at first some of the lower grades of animal and vegetable life.Of this any marsh acted on by the heat of one summer sun affords ample evidence.How much more then, must this bave been the case when the atmosphere was dense, and the electric heat intensely great, as it was undoubtedly at the creation?Not only would the existences thus brought forth have been vastly multiplied but their magnitude incredibly enlarged.And therefore it is by no means irrational to believe that many of the huge monsters evidently aquatic or amphibious in theit natures, whose remains nave been formed in the lower strata, are in kind of the same nature as many of the insect and reptile tribes still remaining, only partly increased in size by the more intense activity of the productive powers.Thus we see that in the work of creation in these periods there were pauses and changes for which the special command and intervention of Almighty Power can alone account.We see, also that animal and vegetable life could not have been mere spontaneous productions of nature for in that case it must have gone on, producing new forms, instead of only, with the utmost regularity, going on producing overand over again those that had previously existed; so that we are authorised to receive the assertion as being as litererally true, as it is doctrin- ally instructive,that in six days God created the taste oasis BUuRAU OF AGRICULTURE AND STATISTICS,

They cannot be fairly tried in any instance without satisfactory benefit to the person who makes the experiment, and the visible improvement of health and strength, claarness-of skin, delightful renovation of mind which they impart, speak for them to all observers, and have been from the commencement to the present hour the best advertisement and recommendation.They are \u2018prepared and sold, wholesale and retail, by DR.WM.B., MOFFAT, 335 Broadway, and by his agents in town and country.fet SoBe _\u2014 \u2014\u2014 + a\u2014\u2014\u2014 t\u2014\u2014\u2014 OV long established as the most invaluable ] «Hotels.S{liscelluneous.ALBION HOTEL, mes ST.PAUL STREET, Montres THE subscriber having leased the above well-known Hotel, put it in complete repair throu ghout, and newly furnished the whole establishment, so as to render the house comfortable for the TRAVELLING COMMUNITY, solicits a call from his friends and the publie of THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS.No pains shall be wanting on his partto make his house a comfortable home te his guests.EF Good Yards and Stables for Teams.Es VICTORIA HOTEL, POINT LEVI, QUEBEC.the above Hotel a most comfortable and and being surrounded by large and beautiful bec, every ten minutes.Hot and cold baths at any moment.Hors 1y83.L.W.DECKER.Montreal, May 1, 1858.tfc76 ADJOINING THE TERMINUS OF THE @RAND TRUNK RAILWAY, \u2014+\u2014 ;Ç TRAVELLERS and Tourists will find Th pleasant resting place, having a splen- py did view of the River St.Lawrence, Gardens, &c.STFAMBOATS crossing from the Hotel te Que- 5 Permits to visit the Citadel may be had at the office.and vehicles of all kinds to be had at the shor est notise.WM.NORMAN.GRAND TRUNK HOUSE, Foot of Xing Stroet, fherbrooks.way station.shown to visitors.JAMES JAMESON, Proprieter.Tune 3, 1857.tfc27 New Hotel.TRAVELLERS AND TOURISTS will find the above hotela most eom- fortable resting place, conveniently sit - uated, in close proximity to the rail- Trrus : $1 per day,\u2014and every attaftion \"RECEIVED Scotch Tweeds, &e.tf73 he undersigned is the only one that manu- in this place and have them always on hand.R.LONG | d he undersigned i: prepared to take orders and every article will be made of the very best DR.WISTAR\u2019S 4 many *ÿenderfuil Cures, * virtues, as MIB INFALLIBII REMED COUGHS, SPITTING OF BLOOD, COLDS, HOAMNSHNESS, BRONCHITIS, CROUP, PAIN IN THX BREAST, WHOOPING COUGH, ASTHMA, LIVER COMPLAINT, - WISTAR\u2019SS BALSAM TAVSIVE SHVASIA - 1 And every form, however severe, of PULMONARY COMPLAINT containing no mineral or deleterious ingredi ly appreciating in public favor, and is now£rm ly established as thz 3REAT AMERICAN REMEDY fatal of all\u2014 COINS UNMPT IOI! or of thousands in our possession : BrooxLINE, Feb.To 8.W.Fowle\u2014My Dear Sir :\u2014 SUMMER ARRANGEMENTS.urday, at 4 o'clock, P.M., and returnin leave New York, Pier 12 N., R., every Tues day, at the same hour.' travellers between New York and Maine, Rooms.7 Goods forwarded by this line to an steamers for Baltimore.with dispatch, at\u2019the cheapest rates.For freight or passage, apply to EMERY & FOX, Brown\u2019s Wharf, Portland;
