The first day’s polling on the Dunkin Bill in Ontario has resulted in a majority of 682 for the Bill. Mb. Camebox, who recently resigned bis position as leader of the Opposition in the Ontario Legidatare. has been prevailed upon to reason me his old position, The Second Session of the Third Parlia­ ment of the Province of Ontario watt brought to a close on Friday test. It has been comparatively an uneventful session, and assumes more and more each year theresemblance of a county council. W* publish elsewhere the, list of Bills passed together with the Lieutenant.Governor’sprorogation speech. Dukixo the post few weeks, largely at­ tended meeting* ot Liberal-Conservatives have been held in various portions of Western Ontario—representingSt.Thomas, Parkhill, Strathray, Bothwell, Chatham, a id other central districts—at which 10 o-iulions have been passed unanimously resolving Co ask Sir John Macdonald nu.l Dr. Tupper to address meetings duringnext summer. The Credit Vall ey Railway was reported on to the Toronto City Council ou Monday evening, by the City Engineer. Mr. Shanley said ho was prepared te say from personal knoaLdge that he had no doubt that the Credit Valley Railway couldbe completed for the money granted by the Gevernment and the proposed aid granted by the city, with the funds of thoCompany. The papers asked for by Mr. Bowcll, in reference to the accounts paid by the Gov­ ernment io Mr. Speaker Anglin for print­ ing, were brought down on Thursday last. They contain nothing not already known. The receipts for the payments are signedby Mr. Anglin himself. It is also incrediblethat so disgraceful a transaction should have been committed by Ute groat Parity party. It is to be hoped that they will buafforded an opportunity of recording their votes respecting it. It ra announced that tho Commissioners appointed to investigate the charges formu­ lated by Mr. Thacker against his Honor Judge MacQueen, have dismissed the c inrgee in every p irti<u’ir. His many frivuds will bo glad to hear of this result ofan impartial trial. The Judge has serv’d rhe Comity of Oxford for upwards of tbiry years, and a man must bo more thinmortal if, during that long period, a few malcontents cannot bu found. The EXMRniEXTS with the tenelops are very successful. Prof. A. Graham Doll lectured on Friday night at Lyceum Hall, Boston, and 600 pooplu wore present to bear what was going on at Salem. Tunes were played upon an organ aud cornel inBoston ami were distinctly heard by the Salem audience. A lively conversation passed between the two points. A partyof three gentlemen fiom tbo Tabernacle choir then sang *• H<1«1 the Fort,” and it was announced that tho tune was heardby erery person in the Salem balL Ther e is xo going behind figures when they establish facts and to give the devil bis due evsu when he is hard pressed is nothing but charitable.

Strikes abb still in vogue, Following the one on tho G. T. R. cams that on the Nerthern Railway, then the threatened strike of the brakesmen on the G. T. R. and now a number if the masons on the Laebine Canal are on strike for increased wages from 9L60 to $2.00 per day. There are circumstances at times under which strikes are necissary, but the prevailing result of strikes brings no good either to employer or employee. In the ease of the strike on the Northern .Railway no fault could be found with the employees, they Usd for a lengthened period been depriv­ ed of the pay they had earned and no other tnoans were loft at their disposal to enforce piymeut but the alow process of tho law or tie rem lining alternative, "a strike.’* Tuey ado.ited Cue latter as bung the rex li­ cet and quickest means of obtaining their ond and they showed their wisdom thereby, for in four-and twenty bourn their rightsWere so far sutisflod AS to indues them to resume work. In the case of the threaten­ ed strike ot the brakesmen an the G. T. R.for an increase in wages from $1.09 to91.25, we look upon tlds as very ill-advised. Here is a company struggling hard evento tnuko both ends meet uud barely able to do that. How can it be expected in that condition ef affairs that wages couldbe increased. The labor market is not so sparingly applied but that in the course of a very few days every vacancy could bofilled aa it occurred aud’thfa fact the brakes­ men ought to bear patiently in their minds. The strike censummiteI ou tin LiabiaoC».*al is one that can oe d <pnc do 1 in no measured terms. The works were inaugu­ rated on a much more extensive scale thanwas intended so as to givo employment to a class of artisans who would otherwise have had to remain idle during the winter,in loot, work, which tinder any other cir­cumstances would not have been thought advisable to prosecute, w*s gone ou with simply as a matter of charity aud to relievedistress. To say that this strike shows in­ gratitude to the Government is saving littleaud it is to ba hoped that until the labormarket warrants it, no increase of pay will bo given. All free cit izens wifi bear with de­ light the decision in the Charlevoix election case which came up recently before the supreme court. Till* te a case where the Hon. Mr. Langevin was, with tba Miii- lance of the Roman Catholic clergy, re- turned as a member for Cbarlnvoix. Itwas clearly proved that intimidation, threats of excommutHeaAion and all thedire penalites of the Roman Catholic Church were used by the clergy to iufln.' encs the election In favor of the Hon. E.Langevin. Whilst the court adtaiti*d that Priests, like any other oitfaea, could gn aronnd canvassing and by moral persua­sion induce electors to vote in favor of their candidate it h*ld that threats involving the vengeancn of the eburh would not in anycase ba permitted and would be sufiteieDt to invalidate any election. This ruling ♦inbraee* tho priest* and clergy of all re­ligions and denominations.

A MirmNUM give* tee following description of Mr. Hayes, the recently circled Piwriliat af tho Hinted State* “ Ho ia larg*, robust and mwater, quite “ There is m.vxy a slip between the cup aad th? lip ” is a proverb which wm never more clearly exemplified than during tiro recent presidential election in ths States ; nothing could have been more sure at one time than that Tilden would have been at this prvsaat moment occupying tho White Hjusa and yet hu te as tar from it us if be had never received a single vote in his lavor. The whole circumstances connected with the presidential election, the pros and cons, the accusations and recriminations, the courts of enquiry, aad finally the Tripartite Court, composed of eight stannea Republicans aad seven equally staunch Democrats are all so fresh in our m>m >ry that it would be useless to go again into the details of the subject. Hi itory will not omit to relate all that can be said of this recent election, and tinny will bo tbo blood­ less battles that will b> fought over it. Already millions have, with a sigh of relief, acqniusc»d in tho general satisfaction that ths matter is finally disposed of; even long before the struggle was over tho more sensible portion of the pip i'a’-ions became callous as to the result, they found that tho conflict was beginning to toll seriously on the trade of tbo country aud that hun­dreds nf thousands were neglecting their bnsiuess in their anxiety to sec their can­ didate elected. Never was an elrotion forPresident so keenly e iqtested, nev >r before did cxeilemeal reach the ssmv pitch aad never was tue final result ao loag in beingreached and notwithstanding that thePresident te snpposvd to be elected by the popular vote, in tbe present elscU.in at nay rate, th> appointment wsi virtuallymade at tho dictum of one raio and that man was Judge Bradley who, with bis po­ litical confreres, refused to take into consid­eration for which man the popular vote was cms. The whole trade of the Statesbaa b»-*n thrown into such a feverish stateof excitemet-t that some Imus mast neces­ sarily elapse before the ordinary jog-trot of life i. resumed, doubtless many cursingtheir folly for the loss ol Ums end ma ley spent in endeavoring to eroara an endwhiob, however tbo elretion went, would in all prooibility not have ^floated them in the alighted and vowing that theywould never again bo so foolish, whichvows the few will stick to and the many break when opportunity next offer*. Wedo uni know whether, like General Grant, Mr. Hayea has a largo number of poor rela­ tione to provide for, but io any ease greatalterations will, judging by past expenenoe. be looked for in tho persona*-! of tbo CivilService, who virtuallyonly hold office from term to term. Royalty is cited m an expen­ sive luxury but we bavo no hesitationin saying that the money spent on a Preri- dential election, including tbo lose nf tints oceasioued thereby, the latter of which canonly be roughly estimated and taken at a vary low figure. Five uullio&s of people lose six days cub, valaing their time attwo dollars per Jay, under this head atone, there te a lose to the country of sixtymillions of dollar, wbi.b is a mm sufficient to u-aiutaiu royalty for ov.r a doxeu years. We congratulate tho State on baring haitwo oandidatM for the Preaideney so irreproachable in character and presumablyso suitable for the parities as Hayes and Tilden, we confess to a leaning in favor *1the latter in tbo hope that his electionwould result in deadeuiog wbat still re­ mains of hitter fooling between tbs Northand South oeeMlnnod by tbo tote war and af so coDSoUJtaing the Blates m to eradtaste any line of demarcation which atpresent ex ma, however «» most aeeept tbe .tails ^.o aud in tendering our bands of friendship to oar cooriae ov.r the boun­dary wish tbens, under the now regime, 4 the hapgiinrea and prosperity which wecould wish for ourselvev. fagrrtr*tM*rte 7. im JOHN J.

Mr. Petit w m call­ ed to the chair, aqd said the first subject for dteoassion ou the programme wm tho Improvement of our Dairy Stock. Mr. H. 8. Loses thought wo had improv­ ed our dairy very little, if any. Our cows wnqld not give any more milk now than when wo commenced dairying if wo tad them as we used ; in hte opinion it w m o ring to not adopting some plan or system * in the breeding and raising of sows for tbe dairy. He would reoommend the selecting of pure bred mates from tbo Ayrshire! and crossing with the best milkers of our com­ mon stock. Some dairymen approved of crossing with the Durhams, but ho believed that tbe Ayrshire* would give more milk aeoording te weight and food consumed; they fattened easily, and could bo readily disposed of for beef, after we were through milking thorn. Would bgve tho calves como early, so m ta give them a good start the first year; we must keep them grow­ ing all the time : when there is no growth we lose all the food until they begin to grow again; should feed regularly and sack food as will develop the milkiag qualities fit tbe calf to tbo greatest degree. A 00W should have a small head, long and narrow muzzle, long thia neck and shoulders, largo stomach, and heavy in the hind quarters; cows of this description generally ara great milken. Mr. W. S. Moore believed that our na­ tive stock were superior to the high breed ; would give more milk with less care and teed. If wo must improve our dairy stock use the Hohteius ; they are tho best milk­ ers aud larger than the Ayrshire*. Mr. Farrington agreed with Mr. Loses in rigard to fundamental principle* but it bod been hi* experience that blooded stock was not what we want for dairying; they were bred for beef instead of milk. A num­ ber of years ago in buying cows fur his ‘dairy, be had bought a fine grade Durham cow, and a small inferior heifer of om common stack ; at two yeapt ojd tbe latter gave 40J lbs. of milk for six consecutive days, aud tbo grade cow proved to be worthless to tbe dairy. Wo should-raise our best calves and make cows of them when two years old; the proper time of tho year fur a beifer to come in would be when the grass begins to grow in the spring; with sacculent food tbe milk organs attain a greater developemeut than on dry feed. Mr. B. J. Palmer said the theory aud prctice were both wrong; the main thing was in picking oat the right calf; wa often rejected the best calve, because they were not so fine looking or sprightly ; be thought the Durhams were fully a* good for milk a* tbe other breed ; referred to a trial of milch cows which took place in England, where a pure bred Dorham carried off tbefirst prize, and a native the seooaj. Mr. Petit said the Durham if bred and fed for the dairy would be equal if not su­ perior to any others.Mr. Graham would raise a few good calves each year from hi* bent cows; didnot want them stunted ; they should comoin when two years old. Mr. Ahua* would rather bay the cows a. long a* other people were willing to ra sethem ; the Ayrshire* were the best. Mr. Holdsworth preferred to cross withtbe Durhams; tho best cow ba ever had was part Durham. The next subject wa* " The managementand feeding ot cows.” • Mr. Farrington said the cow should be well fed on nutritious food; gras* was much better than grain fer this purpose;it should bo cut when it is m Ilia flower, m it then contain* a greater proportion of juices, which go towards making milk andflesh. Timothy when ripe or nearly so is the least valuable of all the graMes for milk;it contains too much woody fibre. We must keep the cow in good condition through th* winter by feeding her enoughto retain tbo flesh which she has in the tall,then she will be ready to commence her summer’s work without waiting te got tn condition; it does not cost auy mure tewinter cows in tills way, and wq tear reasonably expect greater profit, A full grown oow can digest food encogh to mA*on an average fonr lbs. of obsess per day |on dry pasture they will fn’.i away to twopound, or l«e». They r^a.t have .uoepj.nlfood to keep up tire <Uw through July and August; this is Vne important point in summer feeding i if we let them fall awaymore than the natural shrinkage in tbo dry weather, wo can not make them good afterwords, and we get a poor yield for theseason.

A cool yard greets us, and a bland Frenchman, who has become ' Germanised l!ke his geese, by the force of cfruntMiancos points to some hundreds of feathered bipeds huddled together in a cor­ ner. Their proprietor-exjpdains that they are all nino months old, and have cost him lean as they tara, about 2 francs 50 cen­ times apiece ; he then makes a sign to half a dozen bsre-armed girls and six geese are collared and borne away to a cellar, half underground, where wide and sloping stone tables are arranged in tiers. In . the murky light it "becomes apparent that hundreds of geese are already lyingstrapped on their backs and gospingon the upper tier. Onr business being for the moment at the lower, tables, each takes her goose lays him gently but firmly on the stone, and then ties downhii wings body and lege tight with plaited whipcord, the legs and wings being well spread out. The bird's nock is left free>nd it seems during tlie first three days he makes a violent use bf it; but afterwards he may be trusted to lie still for the next seven weeks ; that is till the hour of relief and killing. On the upper tiers are birds who have been lying for three, five or six weeks respectively, wait­ ing to be fed by half a dozen other girls ■ laden with wooden bowls filled with a thick white paste, made of parboiled maize cheanuts, and buckwheat; and the mode of administering tho dinner is for the girl to catch the goose by the neck, open his bill with a little squeeze, and then put three or four balls of the paste down his throat with her middle finger. This is done six times par day. But now we have done’for the wo/non, foe n man climbs upon tho top­ most tier of oil, and proceeds to examine i ho birds who may be "ripe." He has an •yeas judicious as that of a gardener inspect­ ing melons ; and his is the responsible task of pronouncing what birds would die of a natural death within twenty-four hours if not dispatched beforehand. If » goose dies of a natural death it is good for nothing. Ho must be unstrapped and executed at tho precise psychological moment when nature is growing tired of supporting him; and the knack ol detecting that moment con only coma of long prac­ tice. This inspector has not bean a minute on this table before be certifies four gooso ready for slaughter. All four of them have stomachs the size of pumpkins and it is a relief to these when a couple of mon climb up, loose their bonds and rear them out of the cellar to a pent-house across the knives and chopping blocks. A click with the chopper on the neck of each, a rip with the knife, and in less than five minutes after the transfer the carcasses of the four vic­ tims ore lying in a heap, while their livers are being conveyed with all respect and care to the trufiling house. Tho carcasses shriveled out of knowledge, are sold for about eightaen cents spice to peasants, who make soup of them; the livers are first cleaned, then put to scale, and our four geese are declared fine birds, for their livers weigh from two and a-half to three pounds each. The next stop is to take each liver and lard it with truffles to one pound of liver, and then Co convey it to an ice bouse, where it remains on a marble slab for a week, that the truffle perfume may thor­ oughly permeate it. At the end of a week each liver being removed, is cut into the size required for the pot which it is to fill, and introduced into that pot between two thin layers of mincc-meat made of tho finest veal and bacon fat both ruffled in the iver itself; and one inch depth of the whit­ ish lard is then spread over tho whole, that none of the savor may escape in baking. When the cooking fr over, it is packed and shipped to the four points of the compass- A Tw«*C«w Dairy. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Oavllt commenting on butter-making and what her cows have done, sayi: ** I will give the figures, as far as possible, of the proceeds of our little dairy of two cows. Owing to o«r surroundings, these cews have no i>astnre, bat ore fed solely on shipstaffs and hay, sometimes corn-fodder and a little oil-meal. Ona ba one-half-blood Jersey (or Alderney), fonr years old, with her third calf. Tho other is a thorough-bred Jersey, three years pld with her second calf. Both were fresh about the 1st of last April. I began to save the milk from the grade the 10th of April. A test mado in May gave ten pounds four ounces of butter from seven days' milk. Hav­ ing dhly a rather warm cellar in which to keep my milk daring the very hot summer, it yield­ ed not more than two-thirds as much butter as it would have done in a cod dairy room. “ We bought tho Jersey cow tho 1st day of June last, Sho was exceedingly timid and be­ came so frightened in bringing her to her place that she became so terribly abused that wo feared she would die and for a long lime gave but little milk. Indeed, she will not be her­ self until she is fresh again, 1st of next March. ** To this day, December 30, we have mado 387 pounds of butter besides furnishing our family of four persons, (and tho usual amount of company) with cream and. milk and giving away some. Wo raised a valuable Jersey calf upon tho skimmod milk. The milk and butter we regard as an off set for tho keep of one cow if not both. We fiave sold butter to the amount of $81.41, and also sold milk and buttermilk to the amount of §10 more—in a’l $91.41. This is not guess work, but the actual account kept from week to week, since the 10th of April last, “Ou*butter now averages a little over ten pounds per week, and seven pounds of milk yield a pound of butter. By actual measure­ ment this week the grade cow gave seven quarts per day, and tho Jersey, four, making eleven quarts per day. Not less than one quart per day must be deducted from this for family use. This has not varied much since the first of tho qjonth ; and during the fonr weeks ending this day we have made forty- two pounds nine ounces of butter. Can t scrub equal tails» 'l will report tho entire years’ results at the and of the year1 —April 9th, 1877. If these cows had lisa a good pas- .ture in connection with their feed, I have no I doubt the yield of butter would have beenfrom 50 to 100 pounds greater. " For small farms 1 am convinced tho Jer­sey ii> the most profitable cow, either grade orthoroughbred.” ‘ 014 Br<Cranc>i Smart Trick.Insiiress (Inrirs. A Vermen! Farm. The Rutland Herald give# the following description of a somewhat noted farm in Vermont: The farm of William M. Evarts contains between seven and eight hundred acres, seventy head ef cattle, including twenty cows, three yoke of ozou averaging 4,000 pounds per yoke, fifteen calves, a three- year-old Durham bull (splendid specimen of that famous breed,) a fine Jersey bull and other young cattle, all of which show care and skill in handling and feeling. There are 200 sheep on the farm, many of them being superior animals. Of horses and colts there are sixteen, one span as smooth and active ascolts, aged one twenty- five and one twanty-six, showing that generous feeding and careful usage are strong incentives to longevity. Several spans of young horses show good blood. Mr. Evarts has his best pair of horses in Now York, no doubt competing, as far as ho may, with Bonuer and other horse fanciers in that city. Last, but not least, como tho swine,,twenty-fivo in number. Brick from tho old Baptist church, bought by Mr. Evarts, furnished material for the walk of a new and convenient piggery, and tho interior was finished with duo re­ gard to neatness, ease of feeding and tho comfort of tho inmates. One breeding boar, imported from Lancashire, England, is as near a perfect type of tho bog as wo have over seen. Tho products of tho farmaverage 200 tons of hay yearly. This year 2,200 bushels of corn were raised on twenty acres, besides several acres to fodder, fedto cows in the fall. Oats and roots of various kinds are largely raised. If it wasn’t for this article you wight be inignorance oTMiefrct that old Mr. Crane movedinto a house on Mynernb street about six weeks ago, and- that nc is now in DetroitHe came here from Oswego, and of course itwill take him some time to get used to ourways, which are not the ways of Oswego. For instance, there are no dogs in Oswego, orat least no dogs which whoop around night*,tracking up people's do or yards, and chasing people's catw - It didn’t take Mr. Crane longto discover that' tho millions of dogs of Detroithave made a regular practice of “going downtown” every night in the year. The second night after his arrival ho wm aroused at mid­night by various noises, and pressing his noseagainst the cold window pane he counted eleven big dogs promenading over his yard insearch of remnants of cold chicken and custardpie. It wm the same next night tho nightafter, in fact, tho dogs took a great liking tothat family. It is a nice back yard for a dogfight, or for dogs to sit down aud kt their thoughts go back to pioneer days. Somefought and some reflected, while others huntedfor bones and chuckled as they dodged thebrick bat* aent du*fn by cld Crane. Tho other day while wesdering if he wouldhave to poison two or three hundred caninesto obtain for himself one good night's rest, he camo across a big bear trap left in the barnby tho family who had moved out of thehouse. " That is the kind of a bear trap I am !"cackled the old man m he took it down. “Bofore tho bells strike twelve o’clock to-nightsome dqg will wish ho had never been born.Just at dusk that evening he set the trapand placed it under his window in the favor­ ite spot nightly occupicd’by an old white dogwith a deep bws voice. He baited it withraw beef, fastened it to a stake, and ho chuckled and grinned until his wife concludedto stay awake and see tho fun. The fintdog put in an appearance about ten o'clock. He sat down on an old flower pot and chinned,the mean for a quarter of an hour, when thodogs began to arrive, nnd Mr. Crane feltthat everything was lovely, A terrier dog was the firstt-> discover thetrap. He picked off the meat and walked away as if it was tho regular programme, andMr. Crane quit chuckling. He finally decid­ed to put his faith in chance, and ho dropped a pound of beef beside the waiting trap.Some fourteen or fifteen dogs made a rushfor the meat, nnd during the grand fight thetrap putin a blow for liberty. What is now written can be backed up bythe solemn affidavits of nearly two hundredpersons. The dog* were fighting right over when ib sprung, and it' fastened to tho legsears or tails of five different canines. Thefighting ceased for an instant and the silence | awful. Then camo a noise composed ofhowls, growls, barks and roars from five dogs and tu. wav pL?’>le in that neighborhowlkicked off tho bed clothes" perfectly out­ rageous, Ohl Mrs. Craus jumeu ^‘l aut^covered up her head, while old Mr. C.*"411® flew down stairs, flew up again and cried outin his anguish : “I’ll be hanged if 1 aniu’t tho biggest foolin America !” v Four policemen and one hundred and fifty citizens speedily gathered in front of thohouse. Some said it was a family fight, othersthought that murder was being committed, and no one could make out why five dogs conldlinger there and keep up such a row. Thepolice opened on the canines with powder andball and then cafledpi(x>n Mr. Crane to como out and explain the matter.“Gentlemen,” he replied, as he stood shiv­ering, on the front steps—"gentlemen, if 1 should live to l>e a thousand years old I couldnever forget this night!

If ware tetotott in the relretfoa of the stock, great beauty may be obtained in the Poor Uay, There is a great deal of poor hay in the country which will be fed out between tho present time and spring. And it is a matter of considerable importance to the owners of the cattle which are to eat it that tho best possible time should bo chosen, and the most economical method of feeding should bo pur­ sued. My method of disposing of tho poor hay which grows upon two or three acres of cold, wet land, which I have is as follows : During the cold days of early winter I feed my stock in the morning with plenty of good hay. A host the middle of the forenoon I feed them, either in the stables or barn-yards,with good, bright cornstalks, After they have had a run in the yard of five or rix hours I cut up a lot o( hay running it through a feed cutter and put two bushels of tho cut hay into the manger of each cow. 1 then throw on water enough to moisten it, sprinkle on from two to four quarts of meal and mix it up with a pitch fork. When tho feed is all mixed I let the cows in. They eat the hay up clean and neither dry up nor grow poor while kept in this way. Thio is the beet plan for disposing of poor hay which I over tried, and I think it may be safely reoommended to the attention of all fanners who may have this kind «f fodder on their hands.—Csr, Ohio Parmer. vng^j. wwww J-egUm eeduxal' bwj«. or white Sacking a Coabmhaaa.

For many year* I have watched attentively tho[ doublings of this fox,—and while I yield to i no nun in solemn fidelity to truth, I wantto be sure that what I accept as such, is notmerely old error under new garbs,—only a change of disgusting terms. Science ha. its fetich, as well as superstition, andabstruse terminology do.a not always con­ ceal its stolid gross proportions. The com­ plete overthrow an antibilation of thebelief in a Personal, Governing, Prayer- ausworing God? is the eud and ata of thegathering cohorts of science—and thesooner masking technicalities are thrown aside, tho hotter for all parties. Scientific research and analysis nobly bravo, patient,tireless, and worthy of all honor and grati- t ide,—have manipulated, decomposed, andthen integrated tho universal clay,—but despite microscope and telescope, chemical analysis and vivisection,—they can go doforthcr than the whirring of tho Potter’s wheel,—and the Potter i« nowlicro reveal­ ed. The moulding Creative hand and theplastic clay are still as distinct, us when the gauntlet was first flung down by proud ambitious constructive science. Animaland vegotabie organisms have been ana­ lyzed, and—‘the idea of adaption developedinto tho conception that life itself, ‘is the definite combination of heterogeneous changes, both simultaneous and successivein correspjndcnco with eternal coexistence and sequences.’ ’ Now to tho masses who are pardonably curious concerning thisproblem of existence, is this result satis­ factory ? The ‘Physical basis of lite’ hasbeen driven into a cirner, hunted down, seized at last, nnd over the heads of an eager, panting, chasing generation,—istriumphantly dangle! this ‘Scientific Fox' brush,—‘Nucleated Protoplasm, tho struc- Lual unit!’ But how or whence sprang tholaws of ‘Protein ?' -Hatred of certain phrases is more bitter than of tho princi­ ples they express, and because theologianscling to the words of God, Creative Acts, Diviuo Wisdotn, Providential Adaptation, y-Bcieutists declare them the dicta ofignorance, superstition and tradition, aud demaud that wo shall bow before their superior wisdom, and sRbalitate such tonusas ‘Biogenesis,’ ‘Abiogonosis,’ aud ‘Xono- genesis.’ But where is tho economy ofcredulity? The problems are only cloudedby a subtle vul ot learned or scientific verbiage, and their solution dnes not reducethe expenditure M faitlu The change of names is not worth i'.ie strife, for the Olay and the Potter are still distinct,—and Hewho created cosmic lawscanuot reasonably or satisfactorily bo confounded with or merged iu His own statutes. Creeds,theories, systems are not valuable because they are religious and traditional,—or be­ came they are scientific and philosophical,—but solely on account of their truth. So, Doug’ass, I am not sure that yonr essentially scientific method will teachRegina any mnra real wisdom in ethic* or .Etiology ’ thin her great-grandmotherpossessed.’ ‘ You forgot. Uncle Poytou, that in this rapidly advancing age, only improved educational systems will otfable men and women to appreciate the importance of it*discoveries ?’ • My dear boy, arc sudden and violentchanges always synonymous with advance­ ment? Is transition inevitably improve­ ment? Was tho social status of Parisafter the revolution of 1730, an appreciable progress from tho morals, religious orpolitical that existed in the days of I’cnelou?Iu mechanical, agricultarel, and chemical departments tho march is indeed nobly onan 1 upward, tho discoveries and improve­ ment. are vast nud wonderful, and for these physical material blessings we are en­tirely indebted to Science,—toiling, heron: aud truly beneficent Science. In morals pnHfa or private—religion national orindividual—or in eiyil polity have we advanced ? Uns liberty of action keptpace with liberty of opinion ? AreAmericans as truly free to-day, as they certainly were fifty years ago ? In tedhe-tics do we surpass Ph dias >nd Praxiteles, Raphael and Michael Angelo? Is our music more perfect than Pergolosi’s orMozart's ? Can we exhibit any marvels of architecture that excel the glory of Philse, Athens,’Pmstum and Agra? Arewars less bloody, or is crims less rampant ? Our arrogant assumption of superiority i. sometimes mournfully rebuked. Forinstance, one of the most eminent and popular Scientists of England,’emphasized hi* views oh tho necessity of ‘improvingnatural knowledge,’ by ascribing tho great plage* of 1601—and tho great fire of 1600—which, in point of populatioa and of •houses, nearly swept London from the faee ot the globe,—to ignorance and neglect ofsanitary laws, and to tho failure to providesuitable organization* for the suppression of conflagrations. He proudly as*enedthat the recurrence of such catastrophes i* now prohibited by scieatifio arrangement* ‘-hat never allow even a street toburn down,’ and that ‘it is the improve­ ment of our natural knowledge which keepsback the plague.' I think I am warranted in the ass«tnptio« fast our Atnsrican Fire Departments, Insurance Companies, andBoards of Health are qbite as advanced, progressive asd scientific as similar associa­ tions in Great Britain ;—yet the week after ■I read his argument an immense City lay almost in ruins; and ere many month* pass*d, several towns aud district* of ourland wore scourged, desolated by pestilence so fatal, so unconquerable, that tne horror*of iho plague were revived, aud the living were scarcely able to sepulchre the dead.

Justnow our little girl earries no gorgon's bead; i let her alone. The most imperatively de­manded change in our system of female training, is the addition of a few years in which to work. American girls are turned> out upon Hociety, when they should be be­ ginning their apprenticeship under their, mothers’ eyes—in all household arts and sciences;—and they are wives and moth­ ers before they are able physically, men­tally or morally to appreciate the sacred solemn responsibilities that adhere in such positions. If our girls pursued methodi­cally all the branches of a liberal aud clas­ sical education, including domestic econo­ my, until they were at least twenty, howmuch misery would be averted ; how many mere really elegant interesting women would bo added to tho eharm of society,—usefnlness to country, happiness and sanc­ tity of home ? Had I means to bestow in such enterprises, I should like to endow some institution, and stipulate for a chairof household arts-and-sciences-and-liome- dnties; and Regina should not go into gen­ eral society until she had graduated there­in.’ ‘ Not ano Inr word of conspiracy againstmy little maid’s peace 1 Lean forward alittle Peyton, and look at her yonder, com­ ing along the rose-walk.

I CHAPTER IX. long sultry August day(W M utt was drawing to a close, and those who had found the iu-1 tense heat almost unendur­ able watched with delight the slow hands of the clock whose lagging fingers finallypointed to five. The sky seems brass, the atmosphere a blast from Topbct. andthe sun still standing at some distanceabove the horizon, glared mercilessly down over the pantiug parched earth, as if a re­cent and copious shower of ‘meteoric cos­ mical matter’ had fallen from the solar furnace, and prompted it by increased in­candescence to hotly deny the truth of Helmholtz’s assertion : • The inexorablelaws of mechanics show that the store of bent in (he sun must be finally exhausted.' Certainly to those who have fanned thorn-selves through the tedious torture long ro- msznbercd ns the ‘hot Sunday,’ the science predicted period of raturniug gl ici«rs andpolar snows where palms and lemons n ow hold sway.-socmed more distant, than the epoch suggested by the speculative. Inproportion to the eLration of the mercurial vein, which mounted to and poised itself nt 100.—the religious , the devotional pulse sank lower, almost to zero; consequentlyalthough circumstances of unusnai interest attract’d the congregation to the clraicu where Mr. Lttrlsay inteodej ro preach hisfarewell sermon,—only a limited num­ ber bod braved the heat to shake handswith the young minister, who ere another sunrise would have started on his long journey to the pagan East.At the parsonage it had been ft sad day, sad do*pite the grave serenity of Mr. Har­ grove, tho quiet fortitude ot Mr. Lindsay,and the desperate attempts of the mother to keep back tears, comp >so fluttering lips, and Bteady'tho tones of her usually cheer­ful voice. For several days previous, Mr. Hargrove had been indisposed, and us his, n»|>n«w would leave homo at eleven p. m.the customary Sunday uigut service was omitted. As the afternoon wore away, the family trio assembled on the shaded end of thenorth veranda, end with intuitive delicacy, Regina shrank from intruding on the final interview which appeared so sacred. Followed by Hero, she went throughthe shrubbery and down a walk Hbrdered with ancient cedars, which led to a small gate, that opened into the adjoining ch nr ch- In accordance With a custom longsinca fall­ en hopelessly into desuetude, but prevailingwhen the vonerable church was erected, it had been placed in the centre of a spacious square, every yard of which had subse­quently become hallowed ns the last rest­ ing-place of families who had pasrod away since the lofty spire rose like a huge goldenfinger pointing heavenward. An avenue of noble elms led from the iron gate to thebroad stone ’ steps,—and or either side and behind the church swelled the lines of mounds, some white with‘ I marble, some greeu with turf, now 7J ‘ and then a heap of mossy shell*,—not a few ’l*' gay with flowers ; all ssropulously freeler from wseds, and those melancholy symp- *Oh P»ytont what fearfully, selfiehly long eenteuccsyoa and Douglass inflict on•Mb other and upon me I The colons and Mtni-roton* gather along the lines of roc- vareatkra like an army of martyr*, and tomy taapidly weary earn, fad la.t. that final periodk wan a moat44 aweto boon ’ —acrowning blasafar If Begina'* nightingale barI is to ba vex?d by raeh dle^pi.itinns aatboM from whteh yon have bean quoting— I must aeyrt «U . a sorry bargain in ex ehangisg brown foatiwH for pfak flash, andwmm hart hid a better time trfBing mad- tom* of negieot, whieh even in public cem­ eteries too often impress the beholder withgioamy premonitions of his own inevitable futare, and recall the solemn admonition of the Talmud : ’Life is a passing shadow.Is it the shadow of a tower or of a tree ?

What-spot so peculiarly suitedfor ‘ God's Acre ’—as that surrounding God’s Temple ? A residence of nearly four ytars durationat the Parsonage, had rendered this quiet churchyard a favorite retreat with Regina, and divesting tho gravesotall superstitiousterrors, had awakened in her nature only a most profound and loving reverence for thenreciuots of the Dead.To-day loogiag for some secluded spot in which to indulge tho melancholy feelings that oppressed her, she instinctivelysought the church, yielding unconscious homage to its hallowed nnd soothing influ­ ence. Passing slowly nnd carefully amongtho, headstone* she wont into the eburch to which she had access at all times by a keywhich enabled her to enter at will an 1 prac­ tise ou the small organ that was generally used in Sabbath-scheol mnsic.Fancying that it uflght be cooler fa the gallery, she ascended to tho organ loft, and while Hero stretched himself at her feet,she sat down on oho of tho benches close to tho open window that leaked toward the mass of trees which so completely embow­ered tho parsonage, that only one ivy- erownod chimney was visible. Low in thesky, and just opposite the tall arefred win­dow behind the pulpit, the sun burned like a baneful Cyelopeau eye, strikiag througha muss of ruby tinted glass that had been designed to represent a lion, and other sym­ bols of tho Redeemer, who soared awayabove them. Are there certain subtle electrical eur-. routs sheathed in human flesh, tbatjink ussometimes with tho agitated reservoirs oi electricity trembling iu the bosom of yetdistant cloud* ? Do not your own highly charged nervous batteries occasionally gjve tho first premonition of coming thunderstorms ? Long before the low angry growl that camo suddenly from some lightning lair iu the far south, below the sky line.Begins anticipated the approaching war of element*, and SJttled harself to wait for it. Not until to-day bad sho realized liowmuch of the pleasure of her life, nt Che par­ sonage, was derived from the sunny pres- 1 once and sympathizing companionship,which she was now about to lose, certainly for many years probably forever. Although Mr. Linday's age doubled herown,ho had entered so fully into her fancies humored so patiently her girlish caprices,and with such tireless interest aided her in her studies, that she soemo I to forget his 1 seniority; and treated him with tho quiet 1 affectionate freedom which she would hove 1 indulged toward a young brother. Next to tho memory of bur motL’cr she probablygave him the warmest place iu hsr heart, but she was a remarkably reserved, cam-posed and undemonstrative child, by no means addicted to caresses—and only in moments of deep fooling betrayed into animpulsive, passionate gesture, or a burst of emotion. Sincerely attached to the entire householdwho bad won nut merely her earnest grati­ tude, but profound rcsp .ci and admiration, she wits conscious of a peculiar clingingtenderness for Mr. Lindsay, w.iich rendered tbo prospect of his departure the keenest trial-that bad hitherto overtaken her ; andwhen she thought of the immeuie distance that must soon divide them, tho laboriousnature of the engagement that would de­ tain him perhaps a lite-time iu ibe far Erst her own dim, uncertain future look d darkanr1 dreary. The blazing sun went lorn al last tbo—tho fiery radfancs of the pu’pit- window fafad, aud the birds tbit fr* pent,cd the quiet sheltered enclosure sougut their perches ia the thickost foliago where they were wont to sleep. But there was no abatement of the heat. The air was sul­phurous, *nd its inspiration was about as refreshing as a drau ;ht from Fblegcfhon ; while the distant occasional growl laigrown into a freoueut thunderous mutttcr- iug that deepened with every repetition and already began t* shake the windows in itsreverberations. Two ladies in deep mourn- ing, who hud been hovering liko black spec­ tres around a granite sarcophagus, whorethey deposited nnd arranged tho castomary Sabbath arkja of white flower*—concludedtheir loving tribute to the sloeper, aud lofttho churchyard; nnd save the continual challenge of the thunder drawing nearer, the perfect stillness ominous and dread,which always preccdis a violent storm, socnitd brooding in tearful augury abovethe home of tho Dead. With one foot resting on H ero’s neck, Regina sac leaning against th* window facing, very pale, but bravely fighliug thisher first groat battle with sorrow. Her face was eloquent with mute suffering, and her •yos were full of shadows that left uo roomfor tears. ‘ Going away to India, perhaps forever!' was the burden of this woo that blanchedeven her lovely coral lip* until faeir curve* were lost in the pallor ot h*r rounded check and dimpled chin. 'Going away toIndia;’ like some fateful rune presaging dire disaster, it seemed trared in character*of flame across ths glowing sky, and over the stony monumeute tlutt eluded fa* necropolis. Suddenly Hero lifted hi* head, sniff*dthe air, and rose, and almost iimultaneon*- ly Regina heard the sound of footsteps on the gravel outeide—and tho low utterance*of a voioo which she recognised as Han­ nah’*.4 1 never told you before, because I wasafraid that ia the end, you would cheat me out ef my share of tbo profit.

Mr, Daly would go with Mr. Brown forsuch a measure.Mr. Noxon—It would not be advisable atthe present time to do so, but he would be in favor of memorializing the Legislature to pass' such a law.i Mr. Casswell objected to the present method and would favor taking immediate, step* for an improvement.The motion was carried.

The important improvement* mad* byth* Act rsapeeting education, will, doubt­ less, eoudnee to perpetuate and encourage th* beneficial influence of education uponthe whole vouth of the Province. Yon have shown yonr appreciation of thevalue of railway facilities iu increasing thematerial prosperity of th* Previnoe, by yonr prudent consideration of anplicati ms made for awl from Provincial sources, andby your recognition of those rail ways whose construction will enoonrage the settlement of the laree area of Provincial territorywhich is still unoccupied.
