with tho succossfal gardenor and orchar- dist.Already our work begins, for while the snow will carry a boy's weight, and lies piled around the branches of our apple trees, it is a fine opportunity to search to the topmost boughs for the eggs of the tent caterpillar, of which I havo several times written, but which cannot be too often brought to notice when one considers the mischief thoy work in the carly spring.The children at Hillside are bent on tho destruction of the eggs and gather the broad rings into boxes to be brought to papa and counted, whon they receivo one cent per dozen for the nests, and aro already counting their money in silver pieces.1 do not think that we pay suffiClent attention to this part of our business, for, with the great variety of insects that infest an orchard, it is not always easy to tell our friends from our foes without a knowledge of entomology, a branch of study to which no attention is paid in our Canadian schools, although useful and instructive to any one as a proof of the wonders of creation, even apart from the mission these insects perform.1 am sure every observer will have noticed the immense number of butterflies that swarmed through our fields and gardens in the lator summer time last year, and I then thought that the damage from caterpillars would be much greater than usual this season.Events already prove my conclusions correct, for there is not An applo tree frce from the tent caterpillar's treo are infested with the larva of strange insects that only wait for the heat of a March and April sun to stir them into life and activity.It will be well for all cultivators to be on the alert, for no one can tell in what form the pests may appear.The attention of farmers has of late been more than over turned to orcharding, and many young trees will bo planted this season even in this district.There is a great difference of opinion as to the distance required between each troe, but the best authority ives it from twenty-four to thirty-two feet.n regard to culture, the corn crop stands first, as it requires thorough tillage, affords a beneficial shade to the roots of the young trees, ospecially if the straw is left as a winter protection.Dr Warder does not advocato a constant cultivation of the soil after the trees aro established, but advises to sced down the ground with clover, which he prefers to any of the grasses, as the broad foliage shades the ground, contains many important elements that are a manure to the soil, and may be left on the surface as a mulch, No cattlo should be allowed to pasture there, let the grass be ever so tempting, as they not only trample and harden the soil, but destroy the bark, browse the sprays, and break the branches.Swine and poultry, however, are useful scavengers, the former, being earth-workers, turn over the surface of the soil in pursuit of larvæ and make a dessert from the fallen fruit which is generally defective and occupied by insects.Trees which are frequented by hogs are generally healthy, and have been cured of the bitter rot even when badly affected with that disease.The « Aphis mali\u201d or Apple leaf louse, is one of the most extraordinary as well as injurious insects with which we have to contend.They are wonderfully prolific, as one of them in five generations will become the progenitor of nearly six thousand million descendants.The insect seems so\u201d puny and so weak, one would not imagine it could do harm, but by their number, all employed in withdrawing the sap from the tree, thoy have proved very injurious to vegetation.The eggs placed in cracks and along the bark of a tree before winter; hatch out in early spring, when they crowd together on the twigs and under the leaves sucking the sap until the tree loses its vitality and\u201d becomes sickly.The application of alkaline washes is of great service, and scraping the bark in the winter season helps to prevent the trouble.A tree close beside my kitchen window, having become infested, 1 noticed the little winter birds busily pecking the bark and twigs, visiting the tree several times a day evidently intent on ridding me of the pest.In gathering fruit, too little attention is often paid to the fact, that, if the apple is not separated at the proper point, a portion of the leaves and twigs will fall with it, thereby destroying the embryo fruit buds, upon which we depend for the next season's crop.Inexperienced pickers by neglecting thie, will ruin more of the future crop, in ono day's work, than would pay ten times their wages to more careful hands.1 mentioned tho special nature of clover as a manure and will here give an extract from the ominent pomologist whom 1 before mentioned.\u2018\u201c Lime and

that drunkennoss was on the incroase; while, on the other band, the motions made in the House, and the petitions presented, showed that the feelings in the country was growing daily stronger in favour of providing any possible remedy for this growing ovil.llo stat- intemperate habits ; that one-third of the committals arose out of intemperance ; and that, probably, twenty per cont.of the insanity amongst us was attributable to the samo insidious cause.Io then quoted authorities to show that intemperance was a curable disease, and proved from statistics that, out of 6,959 persons treated in such asylums, in the United States, 2,018, or 34 per cont., was discharged cured.That the proportion was not larger was owing to tho vory short periods for which pationts remained under treatment.Tho law in the United States gave more power to detention, but the Bill the Government had introduced gave powers to detain incbriates fora period not exceeding two yoars.They would also take power to commit habitual drunkards, but it had been found elsewhere that at least 94 per cont.of the inmates were so voluntarily.It was proposed to eroct the asylum at IIamilton on the Mountain, upon a site formerly selected for a Deaf and Dumb Institution.The cost of the land would bo 822,000, and the estimates of the whole expense would not excoed $100,000.There would be accomodation for one hundred patients, and the cost per head would be about 8150 per annum.But it was anticipated that a vory largo proportion would pay for their own board and treatment.Mr Cameron did not think the information before them waa sufficient to justify so large an outlay as was proposed for this institution.We had no statistics to ascertain how many people were likely to avail themselves of the advantages offered them, ard he urgod that an experiment should be made in the first instance with some existing building, suggesting that the one at Orillia would offer the roquisite facilitios.He moved an amendment in accordance with these views.Mr Princo believed the efforts made in this direction elsewhere had been highly successful, and gave his hearty support to the measure.Mr Ardagh would proceed experiment ally.The feeling of the House and country was in favour of the suppression of the liquor traffic.If that could be effected the cost of an asylum would be thrown away.A number of members spoke atrongly in favor of a Prohibitory law, and disliked the proposal of an asylum because it was & balf- measure.Dr Clarke said he had often heard it argued that intemperance did not produce mental disease, but it would be well for persons who argued thus to refer to anthorities who had thoroughly established the fact that drunkenness was a most prolific cause of disease.The medical student was told that alcohol was a poison, gi that it was à great cause of both mental shd physical ailments, and very often productive of insanity.Dr Sewell, of Columbia College told ua that dyspepsia, delirium tremens, paralysis, pro- mature old ee and many other diseases were tced by intem perance.The honourable gentleman also referred to the report of an investigation that had taken lace in 1869, with Archdeacon Sandford in the chair, in which was collated the evidence of leading judges, medical authorities, and coroners throughout Great Britain\u2014all alcoho produced scores of diseases, mental

potitions for a prohibitory liquor law wanted to got a little notoriety, be did not envy them ; but he objected to tho time of the thembors being takon up with subjects with which they could not

like ladies and gentlemen.All people living on mode- Paie, fixed incomes have auffered terribly in the pinch.The mass of those whose calling in disconnected with commerce have grown poorer ; and many of them to this day havo & load of debt pressing them down, and wearing their hearts out with its hopeless, inoxtricable burdon.Apart from this question of tho relativo strain of necessity and temptation, tho sudden accumulation of weslth by so many who have nothing else to boast of, has produced many unsatisfactory fontures of daily life.Tho plain truth is, that money in thought too much of ; character, intellect, culture, are not sufficiently valued.So many bave clambered into couspiouousnoss who neither, and know the worth of neither, of these qualities, that thoro has grown up a habit of depreciating them which would be ludicrous if it did not always threaton to be disastrous.The mero successful money-grubber\u2014thinka that he han done the finest Jomible thing to do, and stamps this bolief on all within tho sphoro of bis influence.Ile ought to respect, and aid, and seek nocial and intellectual help from his cultivated neighbor who has nn dollars; but Crassus simply avoids and deapis- eshim.Crasus is doubtioss by this the great.eat loser in the long run, but still, in the meantime, society is dobased and corrupted.This is bad anywhere, but in a democratic society it in worse than anything else.Just as tho fact that à law which cannot he enforced brings all law into discredit, so the unwritten or implicit social laws that pro- olaim oquality or assign pre-eminence to merit alone, are brought to laughter by the vulgar ostentation of the purso-proud, and to contempt by tho apotheosis of shoddy.While thoro is no shame in the accident of starting in lifo without education, thero in great shame in not secking and doing honor to cultivation and rofinomont\u2014those moro oxaltod oloments of humanity that prosperous gold-getting does not confer.The symptom of tho disease is now found in the growing sordidness of the new rich, and in the ceascloss frot and bitter resentment of the oducatod poor.The latter sce, by combinations they aro powerless to resist, a great part of the produce of tho wholo community gradually accumulating in the coffers of those who do abwolutely nothing, or next to nothing, for tho community in ro- turn.They point to some men of reputed wealth, and ask what doos he do for so- cioty ?And it is obsorvablo that, in general, the significance of the question is in tho direct ratio of the wealth of the individual to whom it refors.Wero thero such n thing asa good pro quo, or a compensating relation of affairs, the inquiry would be loss pressing.The intelligent young go about, too, as well as their moro dooply-thinking seniors, and say : \u201c After all, it is only to money that honor is paid, only from money that strongth flown, only with money can ploasure, rest, luxury, be bought; thercfore let us got money at all hazards and at all costs.\u201d This is an old story, perhaps, but it constantly forcos itself afresh upon the attention.The evils of gold-worship are upon ur, more pernicious @gnd destructive than ever.From this unhappy and much- nourished passion tho bulk of our political and social troubles now spring.\u2014Now York Times.: A Montana paper, the Virginia City Montanian, of the ôth Fob., gives the following particulars of a lynching case :\u2014Tom Shirley, Galen\u2019s oxpross driver, informs us that at about 8 o'clock on Saturday evening last, a posse of the citizens of Bozeman numbering nearly 200, made their way to the county jail and made s demand upon the \u2018sheri for the delivery of the two prisoners known as \u2018 Steam-boat Bill\u201d and Triplett, the former confined for deliberately and wantonly shooting a China woman in Boseman, à few evenings since, and the latter for stabbing to death a saloon-k r of that city, last Fall.This tho sheriff refused to dn, wheroupon tho possa broke down the jail door, bronght ouf the prisoners, and procoedod to string thom up.The sheriff applied to the commandant of Fort Ellis for troops to recover possession of the risoners, and a squad was immediately sent, but arrived too late to rescue tho doom.od men, who had met their fato some timo before.We learn from the same source that « Scotty,\u201d a young man well known in Virginia, was notified by the citizens to leave Bozeman within an hour or suffer the consequences of a rofusal.He left, and was in Cherry Creek on Monday evening, en route to this place.The British Medical Record says that the treatment of rheamatism by propylamine has been under discussion at tho Société Médical des Hôpitaux of Paris.Apropos of M.Dujardin-Heaumetz's results, M.nior related six cases in which the rapid ef- focts of propylamine meemed to him very striking.i Brouard related two cases favourable to propylamine.The first was that of a man who had two previous attacks of rheumatism, which had lasted six weeks ;

and in the troubled times which followed the outbreak of 1837 this influence was ex- tonded to Canada through the Governor Mr Poulett Thompson and the crowds of political hangers on of the Whig party who came here in his train and in that of Lord Durham, and of whom some have done us the favour of drawing salaries from the Treasury down to this date.It was thought at the time that the Beauharnois Seigniory would gain greatly by carrying the canal through its bordors.It probably has done so to some though we do not think to any-|P thing like the extent which was oxpocted.But it was doubtless that ideas which induc.od the violent exertions of the cliquo to which we refer to secure its location where wo now see it.There were of course, plenty of arguments on the other side, just as there were recently against carrying tbe Inter- colonial Railway round by the tortuous course which political Jobbery marked out for it.But, like the German Prince who aaid of his false Latin that a monarch with all his quarterings was supra grammaticam, so our politicians have always showfl them.solves to be supra scientiam.Accordingly the canal was built on the south shore, and from the day that it was opened tn the pre sent has been a source of anxiety .nd annoyance alike to the trade and to tho Government, and the occasion, besides, of a whole family of other jobs, according to the natural law of propagation, common alike to jobs and to pigs.It was soon evident that the canal was too shallow for the duty required from it ; but, from the character of its bottom it was found impossible, except at enormous additional expense, to deepen it.To obtain more water, therefore, even #0 long as twenty years ago, evary engineering expedient was examined, and as a last resource an immense dam was constructed by which the head of water in the St Lawrence was raised.That flooded the country, and for years Government arbitrators were employed at good salaries sitting upon the roclamations for indemnity which wero brought before them by the persons whose lands were drowned.clear the expenses of the year, much less y the high rents now the rule.unusual hardshi erously remutted & handsome percentage of therent.Withal it will require an exercise \u2018 of all the proverbial onergy of the Scottiuh | farmer to enable him under present circum.stancos to surmount the difficulties of the dition it was, say a year or two ago.So] much for the past.As for tho passing soa- son, matters aro beginning to have a more cheerful aspoct than was the case n week or two ago.Farm work, howevor, has not, in the memory of the prosent genoration, been so backward as at the presont moment.Tho almost unprecedentod continuanco of wet weather was the causo of extromly little Le- ing done iy the way of autumn cultivation.Before the recont frost set in the land was in a perfectly sodden stato, and from the frequent prossure on the drains much work is before the farmer in putting them into a roper state of repair.À small breadth of wheat only was got into tho ground, and in many quarters it is fered that tho oxcessive rainfall has induced it to rot.Much of it resents an unheslthy appearance, although in somo districts whero the soil is light it looks well enough at present, albeit tho braird is thin.Lator sown wheat has not ot struggled above ground, and consoquont- y nothing can be said rogarding the probabilities of its success as n crop.The recent frosts have been of much service in drying the land to a considerable degree, and with a spell of dry weather agriculturists might now with a push overtake arrogrs.Whon the ground was frost-bound, farmers were i busy in carting manure to the fivlds, and | now that the soil is free, it appears to be in | retty fair working ordor.yeh plough-, ing has to be porformed, and there will be! difficulty, ospecially on late heavy farms, of getting the land into condition for the green crop of next year.ason the failure in tho potato cropis being severely felt on the stock farras.Turnips also « gtand no eating,\u201d as farmers phrase it.Artificial feeding stuffs have therefore had to be resorted to; but the high prices commanded for mutton have enabled farmers to | feed sheep largely on corn profitably.Both i the excessive rains and the late severo frosts have retarded horticultural labours, and nurserymon and gardencrs are somewhat behind with their work.The unseasonable mildness of the weather up till a fortnight ago liad caused many plants and treos to push forth shoots vigorously, and where such was the case in not too great a degree, tho frost will have proved serviceable in giving vegetation a timely check.\u2014Scots- man.At an agricultural meeting at Alford, Scotland, Mr McCombie, the well-known Aberdeenshire farmer, read a paper on farm servants.After stating that he was in favour of giving servants crofts, he went onto say : The crofts ought to be let generally by the landlord, and if let by tke tenant he should be bound in his lease to let them at tue valuation of competent parties, for I am sorry to put it on recu.that the tepants in eome cases become in the sub-letting oc land nacre grasping than the proprietors.The causes of the servants apparent restlessness are the very imperfect education they have received in their youth ; \u2018the want of comfortable cottage accommodation ; the | poor prospect of scttling down in eroftz and small farms ; the little interest taken by many masters in {their welfare ; poverty created by their improvident habits and immoral conduct ;

Credit whose object it was to tako contracte in building the Union Pacifio railroad.At the head of it was Oakes Ames, joint representative from Massachusetts with Butler.This Crodit Mobilier, being

Vice-Prosident Colfax, Senator Harlan, and others of equally high standing have been more or loss implicated.recommended that Oakes Ames and Brooks be expollad from the House.Unfortunately the members did not rise superior to party tics, and instead of doing justice fell readily enough into the suggestion of Ben Butler, who advocated Oakes Ames\u2019s cause, not to oxpel but merely censure them.Both sides of tho Tlouse are deeply involved in the scandal, the Democrats the worst, but certainly we think the Republicans would have stood higher and stronger if they had stood stoutly up for legislative purity and unflinchingly punished those of their own party who have brought disgrace upon it.Tue Toronto Globo of Friday published soveral columns of private correspondence relating to the negotiations for the construction of the Canadian Pacific railroad.Thero were two Companies striving to get charge of the undertaking\u2014one represented by Senator McPherson, the other by Sir Hugh Allan.The Ottawa Ministry suggested to thom that they should amalgamate, whereupon Mr McPhorson repliod that his Company could not do so bocause tho rival Company did not intend to build an independent Canadian Pacific railroad but merely connections with the Northern Pacific railroad.Afler a somewhat tedious correspondence, the Ministry, finding it impossible to reconcile the two Companies, dropped negotiations with both, and concluded a bargain with a now Company, but as this third Company has also Sir Hugh Allan for its President tho suspicion that it is only tho old one with a new face is not ill-founded.If tho allegations of Mr McPherson and the Globe be true, it is the intention of the Company not to build a direct transcontinental line, but first a branch from Pembroke on the Ottawa river to Sault St Marie at the foot of Lake Superior, where it would join the Northern Pacific and run along its track until tho Red River is reached, when a branch would strike off to Manitoba.Ap- similar branches might bring the Saskatchewan and British Columbia into connection if a parallel lino is not attemptéd from Fort Garry.Two years ago, in an article describing the Northern Pacific railroad, we ever examines its route, that Canada\u2019s building a parallel rond to it would be suporflu- ous, that short branches northward at in- ciently for this generation at least, and the enormous cost of a trunk line bo saved.The military considoration does not apply in this case, for the Canadian line, if built, would be so casily reached by 5 marauding force in its traversing an almost solitary wilderness, that it would be useless in time of war\u2014a contingoncy, however, which it is useless to speak about so long as wo have the negotiators of the Washington Treaty at the head of affairs.Provided a fair bar- had such a return been given, we abe dis-|gain be made with the American managers of the Northern Pacific we are not disposed, therefore, with our present information, to find fault with such an arrangement.We arg sivongly against building the Pacific railroad, against Canada's spending a single dollar on tho country wost of Lake Huron, but if there is no escaping from such a ruinous undortaking, if our legislators will not undo what has been dohe and leave Manitoba and British Columbia to carve out their own destiny, we certainly prefer the junction with the Northern Pacific as the chogpest and quickest method of securing railroad cdmmyinication, The Globe asserts that the consideration which decided tho Ottawa Government against the Mc- Pherson Company, was the giving by Sir Hugh Allan and his American associates of a large sum of money to carry tho late elections.There will doubtless be more heard of this now that Parliament is in session, and as Senator McPhorsop and his friends seem to havo fairly broken off with Sir John À.Mnodonald, we may look for something approach ng to the result which it is de- clgred follows when

Messrs.Rothschild noticing in some bills of exchange a difference in the color of the ink from that ordinarily used.The bills themselves were so neatly oxocuted that they would have escaped

Misthor O'Dillon, would ye let yor son put a ring on tho finger of a colleen widout fortin enough to jingle on a tombstone, an\u2019 hardly a decent stitch to be seen in ?' cried Jaimsay.¢ Not if it could be helped ; but Connel has run away with the girl, and, as a Christian and an honost man, with daughters of my own, I could not take it on my conscience to prevent the match.You are Stacy's uncle, the nearest relation she has among the living, I believe, and you are not a poor man, Mr Regan ; of course you will fetch her home at once to prevent scandal, make a decent wedding, and do what you can for her in the way of fortane.I promise you, I will do all I can for\u2014' Connol, the kindly father would have said, but Jaimsay interrupted him.* Me fetch her home\u2014me make a weddin\u2019 \u2014nme give her a fortin I\" ho cried, in a tone that might have been heard at his own Moss ; \u2018my respicted neighbour, I know it's the full o' the moon; but I always thought you the most sinsible man in Kil.maclone.\u2019 * And what has happened to change your opinion, Mr Regan ?Why shouldn\u2019t you do all that I have said, and all you could besides, for your own niece ?Stacy's a purty girl, and a good one.I'll be bound the runaway was Connel's doing, and not hers ; those young rascals can always got over the colleens ; and I am just as sure that your daughter Nancy had more sense and more spirit than to mind his flattering tongue; she'll get a better husband than him any day,\u2019 said Cormick.\u2018There isn't a doubt o' that, Misther O'Dillon, there's gentlemin of fortin an\u2019 rsition wantin\u2019 her this prisent minute ; Bat it's on account of yer son I'm spakin'.My highly respicted neighbour,\u2019 and Jaim- say stepped close up to Cormick, and spoke in a whirper, ¢ I camo here the minute that Teol Roe's sisthers sint me the ontelligence \u2014they had imperence enough to do that\u2014 jist to make a purposal on account of the great disteem I have for yer seed, breed, an\u2019 gineration ; if you're agreeable\u2014I know Connel 'll do anything ye bid him detar- minedly\u2014I can lay down seven hundhered pounds, as good money as iver came out o' the County Bank, wid my Nancy, an\u2019 make the grandest weddin\u2019 that iver was seen in Kilmaclone into the bargain, an\u2019 sind that thraiter Stacy off til Americay\u2014it's too god a place for her, Misther O'Dillon, for know she induced yer son\u2014an\u2019 tho neighbours needn't know much about tho business ; for I'll give Teol Roe's sisthers some- thin\u2019 to hould their tongues, which ivery- body eays they niver did since they were Old Mrs O'Dillon had sat silent in her comer till Regan reached this of his subject, but now rose and stepped up to the two men.© Fie, Jaimsay Regan,\u2019 she said, * you who have had a wife and have still a daughter, to lay such a wicked plan against the orphan child of your dead brother, and try to tempt my Cormick with your dirty gatherings, as if one of his race and name was ever bought over by the like ; go home and repent, and act like a Christian to your niece and everybody else for time to come, fud ment will overtake you.' Jaimsay od at her half-frightened for a moment, and the woman had some hopes of winning him over to the right.¢ Yes,\u2019 she continued, \u2018judgment in this world or the] next will fall upon every one who forgets his duty to near and helpless relations ; but you'll think better of it, Mr Regan; you'll go bome and send for poor Stacy, and see pro what you can do for her.\u2019 By this time Jaimsay was himself again ; he made one spring to the table where la Maurice's dictionary, which, in b th literature, he took for a Douay Bible Mrs O'Dillon was known to possess, and kissing the back most ener- lly, he shouted, * By the contints of and the cross that's on my beads a8 home, Stacy Began 'll niver darken m i door, s0\u2014' but the old grandmother's mill hand snatolred away the book before book.Cormick, my own son,\u2019 and she laid her other thin hand on tho shoulder of the robust and Frey Baired man, \u2018be advised by your old mother and your own con science ; never mind what this hard-hearted money-loving man says, it ie but the voice of the tempter speaking with his tongue, ar he doos often enough with the tongues of both men and women.Since Jaimsay Re- gan will not take home his poor niece now that her good name is endangered with our own son, bring her home to your ouse, and let the young people be honourably and Christianly married before worse comes of it.\u201d 61 will, mother dear, said Cormick, in the same tone of affection and reverence with which he replied to her advices in his schoolboy days.¢ Will'ye, indeed ?° cried Jaimsay, broak- ing through all the restraints of respect and civility in his desparation at the failure of his long-cherished design for making Nancy à lady ; \u2018 thin, my gintleman and my ould lady too, lot me tell ye that ye'll live to ro- pint it, if my name's Mr James Regan o the Moss ; it's satisfaction I'll have out o\u2019 you an\u2019 your for the slight an\u2019 scorn your son has put upon my daughtor that night,\u2019 and rushing out of the room, to the great danger of Molly's limbs\u2014indeed, he escaped breaking his own over her by a sort of marvel\u2014Jaimsay slammed the door behind him, and flew home on the wings of - wrath.Elopement, or, as it was popularly called, running away, had been for many a genera tion the favourite expediont of Irish youth for gotting.over any family impediment to the course of their true love, and bringing any courtship that happened to be particu: larly imprudent and penniless to the happy conclusion of an immediate wedding.Like other peculiar institutions, the said running away had its rules and regulations.The usual thing was for the devoted pair to proceed about sunset to the nearest house that would be likely to receive them, humble but respectable dwellings being generally selected, and the first duty of itsinhabitants was to lot the parents or nearest rolations of the young lady know where and in what company she was to be found, when the latter - were expected to take tho lovers homo, and commence matrimonial negotiations with the young gontleman's family.These expectations wore not to bo fulfilled in the case of poor Stacy Regan.Ax politicians say, complications had arisen, from the over-exercise of her swain\u2019s courting powers and the disappointed hopes of her uncle and cousin, But Cormick O'Dillon, the man who had a right to bo the most displeased at his cldest son's running away with a penniless girl, stood hor friend, according to his good mother\u2019s advice and his own honourable feeling.It was Cormick\u2019s first experience of the troubles and strifes which the choices and settlements of the young generation bring so abundantly to their seniors ; but in less than an hour atter Jaimsay Regan had slammed his outer door, ho was knocking at tho only one in a low cottage, or rather cabin, standing alone in the midst of an extensive bog, and forming, together with the patch of potato ground in its rear, the indivisible patrimony of Tool Roe and his two maiden sisters.Tho door was opened by one of tho latter, remarkably like her brother in appearance, but some years older, and attired in a flannel skull-cap and the remains of a red cloak; moreover, she.was the chief adversary of Molly Dhu, but that fact did no t prevent her sincerely respecting the master of the Leos.« They are here, yer honour,\u201d she said, in reply to Cormick's inquiry regarding the runaway pair ; \u2018 we wouldn't refuse houseroom to your son an\u2019 anybody he brought wid him, but we knowed no more about the thransaction nor the child unborn.[I'm not right come to myself yet from the oncoun- ther I had wid them monsthers at the Moss, whin I run to tell thim about Stacy.Nancy an\u2019 her father both fell on me like dhragons, bat for all their timpers I tould thim my mind, that they were nagers an\u2019 come from the dhirt, and Miss Roe would have rehearsed her entire oration if Cormick had not stopped her with a statement that no blame rested on her or hers; and stepping past her into the cabin, he found Connel and Stacy seated, with Teol's second sister, beside the evening fire, and looking considerably flushed and frightened.* Come home with me, Stacy ; since you have no father nor friends to look after you, I will; ' and Cormick took the orphan girl by the hand.\u2018I did not expect that my eldest son would have done the like unknown to me ; but como home, Connel, and we will see to get this business settled.Thank you, good neighbours,\u2019 he continued to Teol's sisters, ¢ for taking thom in so kindly, and letting their friends know.\u2019 And with one of the runaways on his arm, and the other closely following, the father.in-law elect took his homeward way across the bog « Youll forgive me, father 7\u2019 said Connel, as soon as the two sistors had finished bles ging them, and fairly closed the door; \u2018I wouldn't have kept it from you but for fear of the Regans, Jaimsay is so spiteful.\u2019 \u2018Yes, and you gave him cause by pretending to court his daughter.Connel, that was a deceitfal trick,\u2019 but Cormick drew the young man's arm within his own as he 0.¢ It was only a joke, father, to keep her quiet.She led Stacy euch a life with her humours and hor tempers, that's what made us run away.But tho fault was all mine, said Connel ; \u2018Stacy wouldn't have done the like for the world.Hore his chosen bride n to whimper, whereupon Cor- mick pete and clapped them \"both, told them they were his two children, and they should have a merry wedding at the Lees, let the Regans say or do what they pleas- od.Cormick\u2019s household were still more fully prepared to welcome the fugitives.lis mother had announced the elopemont and intended home-bringing in due form, and what the \u2018ould misthress\u2019 did not think proper to reveal\u2014Jaimsay Regan's declined | and parting threats, together with all the conversation that could bo caught through the koyhole\u2014was communicated by Molly Dhu to her gossips in the kitchen.Love » , havo an undying interest for the Irish peasant of al , especial when pursued under difficulties.Flops.ments too gonerally find favour in his sight.That of Connol and Stacy was sufficiently romantic, and, it must allowed, sufficiently foolish ;

some to seo if they could bo useful to Cormick under the trying circumstances ; and not a fow re- quir O'Dillon's permission to fall upon aimsay Regan in a body, and either shame or leather him out of his hard-beartedness.They wero of no uso, and they did not get the permission, but they were thanked for their kindness and asked to stay.Stay they did, and increase in numbers ; every minute brought fresh arrivals, till kitchen and parlour were nearly as full as at the Mallow Evo gathering.Whon Cormick arrived with the runaways in tow, the entire company turned out with shouts of welcome, and Phil Magrory, tho most renowned fiddler in Kilmaclone, who had come for the purpose, struck up the ¢ Sprees of Hallow.\u2019 ¢ Long life to ye, Miss Stacy ! long life to ye, Masther Connel ! It's yerselves that was intinded to make tho handsome couple! cried the kitchen company on all sides, ns the fugitive pair stoppod over Cormick's threshold.And well might thoy say so.Nature had done much for them, but fortune little ; there was love nnd beauty, youth and health\u2014every requisite for a happy union oxcopt tho one not to be dispensad with in modern times, for Connel and Stacy had no money.Yet such was the interest which their peculiar caso awoke among the warmhearted and impressionable poople, that their reception by the oldest and wisest there was enthusiastic, and the family who had most cause to blame their precipitate flight wore tho first to welcome and congra- tulato them.Hor fuir face, her orphan state, and amiable gentle disposition, had long ago made Stacy a favourite with the O'Dillons, old und young.Honar kissed her, Maurice shook her both hands, tho two young girls clung round her, and the agod grandmother, to whose gonerous advice she owed so much, clasped her with a blessing, and told Connel he could not have brought hor home a better granddaughter.1lospitality crowned overy gathering at the Lees.There was forthwith organised what Molly Dhu called a powerful tay- makin\u2019, under her own administration, of course, and the beloved of Teol Roe was thought to excel hepself that evening between preparing the fragrant cups and abusing Jaimsay Regan, for her best frionda agrood that the more Molly scoulded the botther tay she made.- 'Teol\u2019s sistors and she concluded an armistice for tho occasion ; as their house had been the scene of the great event, they came to relate particulars and share in the entertainment; and their brother, having somehow heard the news in Rory Lanagan\u2019s stjll-hoyse half-way up Slievebawn, arrived with a keg on his back, which ho said he was sartin 'ud bo wanted, for there was nothin\u2019 so onlucky asa dry runaway.lt was astonishing how rapidly the unexpocted company arranged thom.selves round the tables in kitchen and parlour.A festival can be improvised in any Irish houso on the shortest notice, and the runaway evening beoame a complete one.Stacy was seated in the place of honour, between Cormick and his mother, by way of showing their goodwill and keeping up her spirits.Connel had to stand and parry and answer as best he could a running fire of jokes from all the men on the success of his late fishing.Most of them had known, though his family had not, that the said fishing had been carried on, not in the Shannon, but under a bending ash at the low fence of Jaimsay Regan\u2019s garden.Young O'Dillon had a fair share of his country\u2019s wit; one jest called forth another till the room rang with peals of laughter ; the kitchen company were oqually merry, and when the tea was fairly discussed, the young people thought they might have a jig or two, as Phil Magrory declared his fiddle was in splendid tune.The young people genorally had their way at the Leos.There was no rotirement.to the barn permitted, the ould misthress did not think it advisable on such an oxciting occasion ; but the eldest withdrew to one end of the long parlour to entertain themselves, after their own fashion, with gossip, cards, and punch ; tho seniors of the kitchen did likewise in their domain, thus a clear spaco was left in each apartment for the jigs, the fun, and the flirtation, which went on in full flow, while Phil and his fiddle, constituting the entire orchestra, occupied a conspioyoys scat in tho passage between, and went through his repertoire of dancing tunes from, ¢ Up with the Green\u2019 to the ¢ Dublin Darlin\u2019s.\u2019 The sound of merry voices and active foot mingled with those lively strains floated through half:open doors and windows out on the silent moonlit night; tho blazing fires and numerous candles cast their ruddy light over the green meadow in frant of tho house ; but hard by its gate, in à corner shaded by a clump of wild evergreens, there stood a solitary man in a riding coat, with his hand on the bridle of a quiet horse from which he had just dismounted, and that man was Redmond Fitzmaurice.¢ I know they would make we welcome,\u2019 he said to himself, after gazing for a minute or two at the lighted house, and listening to the mirth within ; ¢ but there is no time to lose, and I can\u2019t go into company with this on my mind.If I could see her alone and warn her against him, since he will stay in the country and I must go! Bother to the bad luck that has attended me ever since I camo into the world, and before it ; for what else kopt my poor mother from having a second wedding in some of the Dublin churches, and so leaving mo the poor remmant of the faraily estate ?\u2014amall onough prospect it would have been, but still some provision to ask a girl to marry me on; and such a girl, too ! if I could seo her and tell her all this night before I go ! Maybo she would laugh at me for my pains, she's the girl to laugh at a man she didn't care for ; yet I think she seomed to like me better than Bourke, for all his flattery and his father's money, much as the last weighs with women nowadays; byt I ought to warn her against him, for I know he is 7 villain ; and there's no use in standing hore all night, she won't come out from the fun and the dancing ; but seo her I must, and sce hor I will; here goes for Con Casey's friend,\u2019 and Fitzmaurice gave a long low whistlo.Tool Roc was keeping the peaco of tongues which threatened to be broken be.twoen his two sisters and Molly Dhu over a dilapidated pack of cards with which the four had been ongaged, when that low whistle reached his ear; if anybody elso heard it, all present knew that Teol was accustomed to roceive such telegrams; and remarking that the hait was too much for him, an\u2019 didn\u2019t think it lucky either to except with scould or play cards whin the clock was reproaching twelve, the man of secret service stopped out and was soon at the meadow gate, \u2018 This way, Teol ; don't you know me ?whispered Fitzmaurice.* In course I do, Masther Redmond,\u2019 said Tool, confirming the general opinion that he could seo by night as well as by day.¢ Well, Teol, I want you to do a\u2019trifle for mo in short, could you contrive to get Miss Honor O\u2019Dillon out to speak with me a minute, and let nobody else know ?L have a message for her father and it don\u2019t suit me to go in among the company ; but may- bo you would drink my health,\u2019 and Fitz- maurice slipped a halferown into the traveller's hand.¢ Thank yor honour ; shure it's proud I'll be to dhrink yor health an\u2019 do ye the little sarvico and it's cortain that to nobody but yerself I would bring out O'Dillon\u2019s daugh- tor, bekase I know there's no threachery in the blood you're come of, an\u2019 my axpecta- tion is to dance at yer weddin'; but wait hore a minute,\u2019 said Teol, as he glided up tho path and into the house.Ilonor had just finished her dance with one of her many admirers, and stepped into the back parlour to smooth her abundant curls, which the exercise had somewhat dis- hovelled, when Teol looked in with, ¢ If ye laise, miss, there\u2019s an ould frind o' yer ather\u2019s at the gato wid a missage of great enportance he wants to deliver to yerself bekase tho masther\u2019s not convanient, an\u2019 he don\u2019t like to face tho company, not havin\u2019 his best clothes on.\u2019 (\u201cI'll be with him in _a minute, and bring him in too, said Honor; ¢my father wouldn't lilce his old friend to go from the gate on such a night as this ;\u2019 and with him she was, but great was her surprise when the ¢ ould frind\u2019 stepped out of the shadow of the evergreens, saying, ¢Itis I, Miss O'Dillon, it is Redmond Fitzmaurice; a thousand pardons for bringing you out from your gay company, but I have this ovening received a letter from my grandmother's doctor ; she has had a fit, or a stroke, as they cull it ; ho says there is no immediate danger, but the old Indy wishes to sce me at home, and I am on my way to catch the Dublin coach at the \u2018Shamrock and Shile- ah,\u2019 ¢ But you will come in and see my father and brothers ?there is no gay company in our house, but just the old neighbours; they all came to seo\u2014to sce about my brother's runaway, in short,\u2019 said Honor.¢I mean Connel, ho has run away with Stacy Regan.You will remember her, Mr Fitzmaurice ; she was at our house on Hallow Eve, and the handsomest girl in the company.\u2019 * That she was not,\u2019 and Fitzmaurice came a step nearer; ¢ there was one far handsomer than she, and her name was Miss O'Dillun ; tho handsomest girl [over saw, and the one I will never forget.\u2019 ¢ Now, Mr Fitzmaurice, how many have Tou told that story to in your timo?Honor laughed as she spoke, but did not move away.\u201cI never told it to one but yourself, though doubtless many a man has told you the same; I'll warrant Gerald Bourke did ; his father is a rich attornoy, who will leave him mouey and houses and lands, and [ am a poor fellow who must get my own living, and should have been getting it long ago but for my poor grandmother, who would not part with me, and 1 could not ge against her will, for she is all the friend have on earth,\u2019 said Fitzmaurice.: ¢ I don't care what Gerald Bourke tells, or what riches his father can leave him ; by all accounts they were not gathered in a handsome way; and you don't believe 1 would think a common attorney's son equal to one of your family, and my own relation ag you are,\u2019 said Honor.\u2018 Of course | am\u2019\u2014Fitzmaurice drew another step nearer now\u2014* and just because wo are relations, I wanted to see you before 1 loft the country to\u2019 tell you about this Bourke.Ho isstaying at French Park on his father's business, and I know he has his eyo on you, as where is the man would not that ever gat 4 sight of you?Bat, Miss Honor, he is not a man to be trusted ; his heart is sot on money, as his father's was before him, and whatever he may say or swear, no girl without it will ever find honourable intentions in him.\u2019 « lis intentions are of no consequence to me, Mr Fitzmaurice; 1 care nothing for Mr Bourke, or anybody else, for that matter.\u2019 Even by the moonlight he could see the proud coquettish gir of the Roscommon e.¢« But I have something more to say, and I cannot go without saying it.\u2019 Fitzmau- rice spoke low but rapidly, for his heart was in the words.* If an honest man of as good blood as your own, but with no wealth or prospects, excopt what his resolute endeavours could gain, would say to you, in our tryo old Irish fashion, ¢ Miss Honor, agra machroo, my heart is yours, and can never be won from you ; if you wait for me, I'll go abroad, for an Irish gontloman has no chance at home, and wander the world round, and work night and day, to get a house and homo fit for you to live in, and be a loving, faithful husband to you while lifo is spared me,\u201d what would you say to that ?' She said nothing, but stood still.Fite maurice took her hand ; she did not withdraw it, and his eye fell upon a small rin mado of hair, braided with gold beads an wire.The making of such rings was one of the fine arts of Roscommon at the period, and Honor was particularly skilled in it.¢ This is your own hair, I knaw it by the jetty shine,\u2019 he said.\u2018 Let me take it for a token that you don\u2019t reckon me in thesame line with Gerald Bourke, and take mine in oxchango till 1 send you a handsomer one from Dublin ; this will be a pattern for the size ;\u2019 and Fitzmaurico drew off his own signet ring with the crest of his family set in Irish diamonds, while at tho same time he attempted to remove the small hair one from hor finoly-moulded finger.But love tokons wore not to be so oasily won from Honor O'Dillon, * No, indeed, Mr Fitsmaurice, I don\u2019t sit for hours making rings to give them to young mon by moonlight,\u2019 and Honor tried to withdraw her hand ; but the effort was not a dotermined one, and her relation kept his hold, \u2018 You'll give it to mo, Honor\u2014I can't call you \u2018 miss\u2019 any more ; you'll give it to me in token that you have somo care for me before 1 go; will never part with it, ; ifo too ; and you'll take mine till 1 send you a better one, and look at it sometimes, and think of me and the true love 1 bear you, when the ung men gather about you, like boos a \u20ac ee t & rose, and Gerald Hourke comes with his flatteries and his fortune.mew ¢ Indeed, I can't take your ring, it wouldn't stay on my finger a mimute; besides, you want it to seal your letters with ; and this one can't be got off, you needn\u2019t wonder what we are about here.Who's that coming ?and the active girl plucked away her hand, as her father's voice, half: way down the meadow path, said, ¢ What is it, Honor, my irl ?«It's Mr Fitzmaurice, father, and ho won't come in, because he is not in full evening dress,\u2019 she said, with a sly laugh.¢ Nonsense!\" cried Cormick, as he ran to the young man, and shook both his hands ; \u201ca Fitzmaurice miss à merry-making on account of his trim! Don\u2019t you know the proverb, ¢ \u2018A ttue gontleman is always dressed ?\u2019 Poor Roger, the last of the O'Gor- mans, used to quote it.when his coat was in rags, and the rest of his clothes, for that matter.\u2019 \u20181 know it, and I believe it, Mr O\u2019Dillon; it was'not tho want of evening dress that kept me from increasing your company, that was Miss Honor's interpretation to pay mo off for bringing her out from some live- y dancing partner, to take a message about ull business to you,\u2019 and Fitzmaurice proceeded to explain the cause of his hasty journey.\u201cTam sorry to hear it, and hope tho worthy old lady may get well over it; but you are right to go, and I think there is no fear of you catching the coach, it always stops a good while at the « Shamrock ;\u2019 but you must como in and have a glass of somo- thing,\u2019 said Cormick, ¢ and tell me the business you wanted Honor to speak of.\u2019 \u2018 It is just this\u2019 \u2014Fitzmaurice could tell half the truth whon it suited him as well as most men\u2014* let mo take your leaso in my pockot to Dublin, and get it renewed, whilo my poor grandmother is capable of the like; but, for friondship\u2019s sake, don't ask me to come in, Mr Q\u2019Dillon, for 1 have no spirits for company, and no time to lose.\u2019 ¢ Well, I won't, and I am thankful for your kind offer about the lease ; but won°t it look like playing all for myself to the neighbours ?\u2019 said Cormick ; \u2018 their loasos are running to an end as well as mine.\u2019 ¢ You can tell them to-morrow\u2014to night, if you like\u2014to make all the haste they can in tho business of renewal ; botween our- solves, all Kilmaclone should have done it long ago ; but time slips away in the country, [ suppose.However, it is my duty to look after my own relations ; and it would not do to let the heir-at-law and his keen agent know thet we had been renewing right and left, before they come into pos- grandmother's embarrassmonts have put her somewhat in their power ; so do bring me the loase, and let nobody know that I am here.\u2019 \u201c I will and Cormick\u2019s tone was sad and subdued ; the business wont against his mind, but he felt how advisable it was; \u2018run in, Honor, my girl, and keep them from missing me,\u2019 Fitzmaurice did not thank the good man for that precaution ; but when Cormick returned with his ancient leaso, and a glass of wine, he pocketed the former, drank to the health of Connel and Stacy, promised to sond suro intelligence of tho Ould Madam\u2019s stato ns soon as possible, and, with many good wishes and hearty hand-shaking, mounted his horse and rodo off a more hopeful man than he came.(TO BE CONTINUED IN OUR NEXT.) Travelors who have passed through the less little worse than ordinary tunnels in those respects, But an the other hand, there is an unpleasant story of a freight-train that some time since came to a halt in tho tunnel for the redson that the engineer, fireman, and brakemen were one and all rendered insensible by the foulness of the air.Both these accounts may be perfectly true, for the greater length of time required by a tained by those in charge of it.To remedy the deficient ventilation of the tunnel, it is proposed to build a partition dividing it into two separate tunnels, so that a continuous blast of air can be forced through in such a direction as to blow the smoke of tho engine in advance of the train, and keep the train itself always in a pure atmosphere.The Court Circular says that a maker of instruments to remedy deafness used to have the following in his window :\u2014 \u201cThere was Mrs I, So very deaf That she might have worn a percussion cap And been knocked on the head without hearing it snap.Woll, I sold her a horn, and the very next ay She heard from her husband at Botany ay.\u201d Tho work of turning the pootry of the Italian landscape into the worst form of railway prose, goes on apace, Tho tunnel under Mont 8t Gothard has advanced four hundred feet into the heart of the mountain, and in the course of a few yoars the famous mountain pass, which has so long been one of the grandest gateways ot the world, will be rendered useless.No ono will care to delay for forty-eight hours his approach to Italy, and to undergo the difficulties of a trip over the mountain, when the.path through the tunnel isopon.The St Gothard nss, liko that of Mont Cenis, will be aban- oned forever and permitted to full into ruin.The same fato awaits the Corma road, and the accypation of the diligence and the vettura will beforo long be lost, so far as Italy is concerned.There seems no longer tho least reason to doubt that the Nortafleet was sunk by the the Murillo was in collision with a vessel at the time and place where the Northfloet was wrecked.And what is worse, the captain saw that tho collision was inevitable and gore orders to back tho engines before the urillo struck.The cries of women and children were distinctly heard, and calls for help.Tho Spaniards heard these requests, and th en drow away from the wrock without giving any assistance.Tho singlo passenger on board the Murillo and the second engineer saw and heard the whole, and both declare that they were horror-struck to sec the calm indifference with which the sinking ship was left to her fate.In spite of s clear evidence, and in spite of the fact that the captain and such of the crew as were on watch at the time of the collision Murillo.There is plenty of testimony that E SELLING OFF, \u2014 \u2014 HE subscriber having resolved to gi T offers his entire sok of Dry ë ve eo business, bo, at cost, for cash or ready.pay.All cha m are requested to call an also offers for sale his pay without delay.H ied b HOUSE AND LOT now occupied by him in the Vill i being a large frame building, well adapta ing, kind of business, Possession would be given on any lst May.For further particulars apply op (hn mises to bo pre.HUGH KELLY \u2014-\u2014 R.W.COWAN, THE HATTER & FURRIPp CORNER OF NOTRE DAME § ST.PETER STREETS, MONTREAL.\u2014 ADIES and Gents\u2019 fine Furs of ev inti manufactured from choicest Mink pec tion Russian and H.B.Skins.> 9 Beal, Gentlemen's Silk, Felt, and Wool H \u2019 variety and new styles, constantly on hand endian Observe the address, and when visitin, 4 not fall to give the advertiser a call, § the City do HO FOR MANITOBA.AFARM k FOR SALE, Fr nown as part of Lot 49, thir ;
