The Ontario Legislature at its lost ses­ sion passed an Act amending the Dunkin Act, which provides that all Dunkin Act by- laws submitted after this will be voted on by ballot, and if carried will come in force the 1st of May instead of the 1st of March. The change in the mode of roliug will be bailed with pleasure by all parties as tending to do away with that bitterness of feeling en­ gendered during the several days of open Voting. In future, contests will be quiet and all over in one day as at Municipal and Parliamentary elections. The leader of the Government was not altogether clear that be had the power to make the altera­ tions, but was of opinion the local Legisla­ ture was competsnt io tusks U>e changes named. At all events he assumed that the powe; was vested in the local House and acted upon that assumption. In Spkakikg of the passage of the Credit Valley Railway by-law in the aily of Tor­ onto, the World says t—"Not a laboring man or skilled artisan reriding in the eity can afford to vote against the present bon­ ne ; the granting of the money will pro­ vide immediate wbrk for thousands of the forma r, and the location of the machine shops of the Company in Toronto will give steady employment to a largo number of the latter, Ou no higher ground therefore, than self interest the working men should make it a point to record their votes in fa­ vor of the grant. The building of the road will also benefit enr merohatrte and man- ufactaren; it will render tributary to this market a section of country with whieh up to tie present time we have done but little business ; we also make Toronto the terminus of the Canada (foatbern and its connections. In a word wo shall reap nd- vantages that, as a city wo cannot afford Thb Honorabl b tho Minister oi Educa­ tion, it would appear from manifest indi- oations, is losing popularity ou all sidra from among those who wer. his chief rupperters at Ms election for tbe South Riding of the County. Not only has he The re-organization of the Liberal- Conservative Association of the North Rid­ ing of Oxford, which was inaugurated in Woodstock on tie 17tli inst., was timely and opportune. A feeling of dissatisfaction in the present representative in the House of Commons prevails to a large extent in tbe Beform party, and as Abers are a large num! er of aspirants ready and willing to BscrillM themselves, we have no doubt but that when the next election takes place it will be difficult to fix upon a man to unite the different elements that exist. Some of the Grit papers of the Riding are outspoken in ths matter and w« cannot convey to our readers a better idea of tbe feeling that ex- iste in respect to the present member than by quoting the following ramarks from the Einbro Planet:—" Our present represen­ tative in the Dominion Parliament is not popular with his constituents, and if he is not ’• shelved " before a dissolution of the House occurs, an attempt to re-elect him weald seriously weaken the Reform party, if it did uot actually result iu defeat at tho polls. Now, this Is a matter which should remove due consideration from those who ore intrusted with the manipulation of the affairs of the party in Ncrth Oxford, and if they fail to take cognizance of the fact, tho result may be even more disastrous than the most sanguine Tory could exp«t. It is possible, however, that Mr. Oliver may avoid either being thrown aside or suffering a defeat at tho polls, by securing a Govern­ ment berth; and probably he is deserving of it. At any rate, it is certainly the best course for him to pursue. “ Measures, not Men," is a very good motto, but tho elec­ tors of North Oxford have accepted tho man for the deeds of tho party quite long enough." Affair s in Europe were nover in a more critical state than at tbe present moment, llux&ia seems determined not to demobilize her armies until Turkey has taken the initiative and t>i*a vena Turkey, having no confidence in Russia, will not disarm until Russia not only guarantees bnt actually commences a general disarma­ ment, moreover there is a strong party in Russia who think that she has gone too far to now draw back without running the risk of being accused of cowardice ; and the fueling against tbe Government in Turkey is so intanke that to many It would appear that the feielteolent bf war on an extensive scale would be tho only means of preventing a general uprising to over­ throw the Government In fact there is nothing the Turkish Government fears more than a general disarms muni and tbe sending back to their homes the recruits so recently enlisted at a time too late to pre­ pare their land for tbe present season and without pay or with perhaps only a por­ tion of what they are entitled to. In try­ ing to effect an amicable settlement the European powers appear to bo waiting for tho action of Great Britain before deciding upon their line of action. Tho Governments of Great Britain and Russia are in daily communication but nothing as yet has bram definitely settled and even when these two powers have come to an nnderatatullng it will still renrein for the other powers to acquirsoe or reject their arrangement aud still more difficult to got ths Forte to sub­ mit to each agreement. Wo scarcely anticipate an amicable settleinont but should it bo effected British diplomacy will be entitled to what it has rarely attained, viz.: the credit of aueeuso.

I have lived in Inger­ soll long enough to know that it contains many bright young men, and consider it * pity that so little is done by our citizens to encourage literatur. or anything designed to draw out the talents of tho young minds. As we have no library why not encourage the young men of a political turn of mind to form themselves into political clubs, and I would suggest to those who are opposed to tbe present govern­ ment, to form a Young Men's Liberal Conser­ vative Association, by so doing they would make themselves acquainted with the politics of tho country'and fit themselvCs for positions that they may be called upon to fill in| after years. I am sqro we have enough ’’young men of Conservative principles" to form a good club, for sooner or Later they will be called upon to bear the good old standard, tliat has made this country what is, and the standard that alone can save it. I trnst that some one will make a move in this matter ere long. Respectfully, yours, Canada. Jngcreoll, March 26, 1877. THE TFJIPYRATCE ACT. To the Editor ot Um Oxford Tribune. Dear Shi,—I have heard that some rf the Temperance people in the county blame me for the defect iu ths Dunkin Act By-law in consequence of whiah it was quashed. Thb responsibility I entirely deny. During the last June Session of the County Council a number of gentlemen interested in the by-law asked me M draw it. I did so, had it engrossed, and gave (it lo them, and they gave it to Mr. White the Clerk of the County Council. It wu not brpught up thateciiion but remained in his hands until themeeting of tbe Council in Xteceipber last This by-law was drawn In slric| accordancewith the Duukid Act and did uot contain .theclause fixing the time for ita coming into oper­ ation; But omitting tho preamble it wa* inthese words “Be it therefore enacted bythe Municipal Council of the Corporation ofthe County of Oxford that the sale of intoxi­cating liquors and the issue of licenses thereforis prohitated within the County of Oxford."During I he December aezsion of the Conn ci] some of the same gentlemen at whose in-stanoo I had drawn the by-law brought it tome and stated that they wished a ctaqsa irt- serted stating the time it should corrie into op­eration. I told them the by-law aa it thenstood was in strict accord.-xnee with the Dun- kin Act and although I ootfld not reconcile theprovision* of the Dunkin Act with Section 24of 39 Victoria Chapter 26 Ontario, usually known as the Crook's Act, I feared such aclause would endanger tbe by-lM# and repeat­ed my advice to keep it as it Wa*. They stillinsisted on the change being made and think­ ing that they had taken other advice upon themattor, I drew tbe objectionable clause a* de­sired, and which has been determined by Mr. Justice Galt to invalidate the by-law.Tbe by-law a* originally drawn by me withMr. White’s wdorsemente on the back is still in my possession.Francis R.

When aU thiashall havebren realized and the wlo'efon.1 ser­vice purged and regenerated we will have re­ form that is something more than a name—thereform that was demanded in tho election ofTilden. There seems to have been an impres­ sion that the appointment at Post MasterGeneral Key was a concession to the majority,tliat did not vote for Mr. Hayes. But those who imagined ft to be more than a gaudy lorehave been undeceive Senator Morrison, ofNorth Carolina, recently wrote to the poet master geavrally inquiring specifically if ap­pointments without regard to politics wouldt>e made in the south. To'this Mr. Key re­ plied : ” When a vacancy exifta in any officeconnected with the post office department inthe Seathem States, preference .will be givento a Republican, aU other things being equal.”Just at present speculation is active in re­ ference to a new political combination loom­ing above the horizon, which has for its objectthe disentegration of the Democratic party. It was foreshadowed in the public improve­ment bait of Mr. Hayes’ inauguraladdress ; it was x further developed in the appointment of a Democrat of easy vir­tue to the position of Post-Master-G«neral; and its grand objective eoup is to be the elec­tian of a Republican, preferably Charles Fosterof Ohio, to the Speakership of tfie .forty-fifth Congress.

Among the comparatively few statesmen who enjoy a reputation yond the limits of the dependency In which their lot is east, the Right Honorable Sir John Alexander Macdonald occupies per­ haps the formort place. The very state­ ment of Ibis'fact implies (he possession on his part of qualities which have lifted him out of the narrow sphere of colonial poli­ tics, and enabled him to take his place among tbe statesmen of tho Empire.—} Every one familiar with the politics of Canada will willingly acknowledge the fact'that he is a Parliamentary athlete of a' high riujk, and that, if fortune had given him an opportunity of taking part in thepolitical life of Engtaud, ho would proba­ bly have made his mark in an assembly which, besides its other great merit*, is cer­tainly tho most critical iu the world. It is ’dlo tQ speculate upon what Sir John Macdonald’s position u:.’"ht have been if he had lived on thia sidej-f the Atlantic In­ stead of tbe other. It is is enough to knowthat in Canada he has thrice held the high­ est office which it is in the power of bis fel­ low citizens to bestow, and that, duringmore than thirty years of conspicuous pub­ lic labor, he has bean a necessity to every Government formed by the Conservative­party ■ • • Much of his popularity uoi doubt is duo to his great political capacity, < and to tbe length of his public services, butstill more of it may justly be ascribed to the generosity of his character, and to tbe chivalrous fidelity of. hi* personal andparty friendship*, Soma Parliamentary abiefs .are accustomed to stand aloof from too familiar contest with theraiik aud file of their party. -Hven if they give iheir confidence lo a se­ lect fe* who are privileged to enter thecharm ell cireS of which they form the central figdree; tltef chill tile gntbu«ia*m of a large number by their frigidity and re­serve.

To thoae whosit on the same benchas with him ho ex­ hibit* a geniality of temper which involun­ tarily auggeota a comparison with LordPalmerston. And such a comparison holds good in other respects, for the living equal­ ly with Ute dead statesndan will long borememliered aa a master of parliamentary fence—aa exhibiting that readiness which is often more useful to tho pohtutal leaderthan either argument or thitoria. As an orator, Sir John A. Macdonald occupies a high rank among the nolabilitirs of theDominion. He speaks with great anima­ tion, I* often humorous and even witty, is always ready aud effective in reply, audocraalonally rirfes to tbtf’ dignity of elo­ quence.

K3J' ' r"^r' There is a-great deal of poor hay in the country which will be fed out between th/ present time ami next spring. And it is a matter ot y*nsiderabte importance to tho owners oflho caltlo which are to d^t it that the best possible time should bo chosen and the most economical method of leading should be pursued. When all ^possible ad­ vantage* of the situation are taken, tbo fact UiU remains that feeding poor hay is ratiuM* a bad job, both for tlie man who deal* it out and tho cattle which aro oblig­ ed to eat tho hay. Not that there is any special trouble in making tho entile eat it, By keeping them short enough they can bemade to eat almost any kind of hay. But tbc difficulty I* to mike them thrive upon this kind of - keeping. The good farmer not Duly jraote to ace hi* cattle eat their hay Vtit Meo want* them to gain flesh aud ic- craate in value. And to make them do this whfkl kept only on poor hoy, te utteriy toapossibl*. They mn«t hare sama thing from which nourishment can be obtained, or else they will certainly show the effect* of poor keeping. The poor bay is lac king InDutritom element* aud in order to make cattle do well while fed upon it something must bo added to make np the deficiency. If this i* done pretty poor bay ean be fed W>U> W»ulte to tho cattle, aud profit . to the owner.

Soon you can set the clover pfimps at work pumping up to tho afirfaeo the inexhaus­ tible resources of your subsoil. If any animal dies don't stop to bewail your luck and exclaim, “everything goes to ths dogs on my furm." Don't send it to the dogs nt nil, but compost with muck or oven soil, and thus seen e a valuable man­ ure. Samson performed a wonder by tak­ ing honey from tho doad carcass of a lion. You can out-do that wonder by extracting wheat from tho carcass of a dead cow, Fick up all tho bones that you can find, pul them under cover, and mix with them two or three times thoir bulk of ashes from your kitchou ; moisten them with water so that the potash may act on tho gelatins of the bones ; stir them over onco a week, and in a month or two you will find tho bonos so tender that you can cut and crush thorn with h blow from your sho rel. But the whole into a powdery mass, and yon will have a manure better than tho super­ phosphates which you feel to poor to buy. Give a handful of this to each hill of corn, and toe how it will w..vo its banner of green and pour into your basket tha golden ears. Bat in bringing your soil into good condi­ tion, do not noglcct green manuring. Let every wind that blows over your fields bring them a blessing in tho shapo of at­ mospheric plant-food. Do all these things patiently and hopefully, without urging your soil beyond what it con do, and yon will yet, out of 'the fulness of a grateful heart exclaim, “Bless God for tho farm." ‘ Keep Uw ffctdi Dawns Weeds growing among the rropt are detri mental both by Bbeor^ing the virtar-s of the toil, and by choking anAcrawd^ig tire plant*, and .hence ihouH fee I'.eptd^yn until tho crops nre harvested ; after that it will do no hurt to let them grow and make a mas* of vegetable mattei- to plow into the soil before they go to seed, in which case they will do good. The following i* worthy of attention Tho London Garden remarks: The only remedy for weeds is a prompt destruction in a young state. Weeds aro easily eradicated if never allowed to advance beyond the seed-leaf. Once let their roots run deep and wide and their tops rise high, and then tho weeds aro masters of the garden. It provokes ono to see the complacency with which some cultivators allow seeds to established themselves in flower-beds or borders, or on roads or walks, and their subeequent fntile effort* to subjugate them. Prompt destruction will vanquish tho very worst of them. Plantains, grass, thistles and docks, are prehaps tho most difficult -to eradicate. But, if by any neglect, these havo gained a strong footing in any garden, con­ stant lieheruling alone will destroy them. No plant can live long if ever allowed to form leaves or stems, and tho shortest, surest, and easiest way to eradicate the worst weeds is by iuccssaut cutting off of their visible parts.’’ business Carbs, McGaug hey & w a l sh, PB.iall A *S, R oli R cit I o S r* T in E C R ha S m a -t n ry d *> A ni tt I o n r so n lv e e y n s cy -a , t H - o L tt a r w iea , r .

There ia tome talk of a Canadian slock company Being formed soon for exporting lire stock to Britain. Oar leading dealers in the trade take a lively interest in the matter. Tho efforts already made by Cana­ dians hnvc had soma effect across tho bor- dor, for tho Now York Tribune of Saturday says :—“ Canada has been exporting live stock fo tho mother country for some time and with such success that New York and Philadelphia merchants aro now trying the experiment. Fivo of tho leading cattle firms of this city have vessels loaded with beef cattle on the way to England and Scot­ land, and was preparing to extend their business. Only two firms in Philadelphia have thus far undertaken the experiment, but in the worfls of a prominot cattle denier in tins city, ‘If tho shipments now made prove successful a rise in tho price of cattle will ensue, importations from tho West and South will bo more extensive than ever be­ fore, and a now enterprise of considerable magnitude will bo opened in tho loading shipping ports of tho United States.* Tho shipment of live stock across tho ocean has made necessary the construction of apart­ ments on the vessels quite different from anything heretofore in uso. Portable stalls in which the cattle have been fastened, have been specially made, so arranged ns to giro room for.euting and drinking, and to bo moveable, with the cattle in them, to different parts of tho vessel. The stock is thu? brought upon deck for sovoral -houri each day and given tho benefit of the fresh sea air, Tho now nrrangomont is strictly an American invention, and its friends are confident that its introduction will open Europe and every part ,of tho globe as a market for the stock raisers of America." Early Cot Hay. It may not bo generally known that some of the advanced farmers of tho East­ ern States havo begun to cut their grass before tho first bloom aud to euro it in light winrows as much as possible, thus saving tho aroma and color and making simply cured grass. With such food rts this for their cows they mako “Juue butter’’ in midwinter and have grass-fed caws all tho year. By taking off such an early crop they give tho grass a clianco to mako a still heavier cutting later in tho season. They also secure one crop beforo and tho other after the usual grain harvest and are in shapo to take all advantage of tho weather as it comes. Analysis shows that there is much more nutriment in grass that con­ tains all its natural juices than that which has turned to woody fibre, contrary to a quite ctfmmon belief tint tho latter con­ tains moro “ substance.’* Besides, if cut beforo tho formation of seed, will not the soil and tho plant bo less exhausted ? If so, (hen wc shall be subsisting our live stock largely from the ocean of air tint sur­ rounds us aud the wealth of which wo can never exhaust. DR. BOWERS.

C h r i s t m a s P r e s e n t s I flow to Lay Shingles. The correct way for laying shingles of any length, in order to fom a roof Irak-tight, is to lay tho courses less than one third the length of the shortest shingle*. For cxantle, when shingles are 18 inches long, many of them will not be more than 17 inches in length. Therefore five inches is all that the courses will bear to belaid to the weather with surety of forming a good roof. The shingles must be three thickness over the entire roof. If they are not three thickness—if now and then a shingle lacks a quarter or half an inch of being long enough to make three thicknesses —there will in all probability be a leaky place in the roof at such a point Moreover, when the lower courses lack half an inch of extend­ ing up far enough to receive tho rain from the outermost course, in cofo the middle course were removed, it would be just as well to lay them seven or eight inches to the weather as to lay only five or five and a lielf. Many shingles arc only 16 inches' long, and many that are sold for 16 inches long will hardly measure 15 inches. In this case—if the roof be rather flat, say about -on* quarter pitch - four and a half inches ia an far as they should be laid to tha weather. In case a roof were quite steep it might answer to lay the courses four and three-quarter inches to the weather. When buildings are erected by the job, proprietora should give their personal at­ tention to this subject, and see that jobbers do not laj the course* a luU-ioch too far to tho weather. There is another important consideration which is too frequently overlooked in shingling, which is breaking joints. Careless workmen will often break joints witbin half an inch of each other. When tho joints of the different courses coms so eloso together, the roof will most certainly leak. Why should it not ! There is nothing to prevent it during a heavy rain. Unless a roof is steeper than a quarter pitch, much care should he taken to breakjoints not lees than tne and aquartcr inches. L*t all Workmen and helpers bo taught the vast importance of rejecting every poor shin­ gle, except when tho upper courses are being laid.—Canadian Afeckaniea Mdgutiiu. Suggestion about Wool. The New York Herald very pertinently saya : It wi’l always be best for a fanner to produce wool of one sort or another. Wool that is neither one tiling nor the other, neither long or short, will not usually com mjnd a satisfactory prise so readily as if it were either the wool clipped from merino sheep or from the backs of some long-wooled breed. An intelligent dealer in wool assures us that g »o:l delaine wool should be at least three inches in length, and be a round, strong staple. The .practice of buying wool at an average price per pound, without re­ gard to its quality or condition, is paying a premium for and encouraging the poor and dirty wool, for grease and filth cost but a trills per lb compared with choice, clean wooL Wool growers who raise wool above the average as to quality and condition can do better tliau to sell it at an average price by sending it to a reliable commission mer­ chant, where it will bo stored and sold accord- ing t« its merits. This is a safe and satisfac­ tory way to sell very good wool. It is not to be expected that wool buyers will advise fanners thus to dispose of their wool, for it deprives them of all tho commission for buy­ ing, besides some twelve cents per pound extra in addittion for all the delaine wool sorted out by them.

Seating him- (self Iwsido far, the physician said : ; • Boor child, this is an awful ordeal for (you, and in Dr. Hargrove’s death you have (lost africud, whom the whole world cannot ;replace. He was the noblest man, tho, ipurest Christian I have ever knew.—and j if tho church has a hundred pastors in sfuture, none will ever equal him. Ho j matried mo, he baptized rny children, and (■when I buried my wife,—his voice brought jme tho most comfort, the—’ His tone faltered, and a brief t.ilenco en- , sued. ]‘ Regina, I wish yon would tell mo ns , nearly as yon can how ho seemed to-day, tand how it nil happened.

When she concluded ber recital of th* last terrible scene in tho melancholy (drama, Dr. Melville sighed and said : , ‘ It has ended just as I feared and pre- tdieted. His heart ha* boon affected for <eqnro time, and. not a month ago I urged j him to give up bis pulpit work for a while _ nt least, and try rest and change of air. (But be answered that he considered his j work imperative, and when ha Idiod it j would bo with tho harness on. Ho would (not permit me to allude to tho snbject in (the presence of the family, because ho told tmo he did not wish to alarm bis sister, who tis so devoted to him, or rerdar the parting . with his nephew more painful, by adding tapprehensions concerning his health. I (fear his grief nt the loss of Dangles has £hastened the end.' f‘ When Mrs. Lindsay comes to-morrow, rit will kill her,’ groaned Regina, whose tsoul seemed to grow sick as she thought of the devoted fond sister, and the anguijh jthat awaited her already bruised and aching j heart.t1 No, sorrow docs not kill people,—elsetho race would become extinct.’ , • It has killed Mr. Hargrove.’ t• Not sorrow, but the disease which sor- jrow may have aggravated.’ ■ Mr*.

My (dear child you wquld be the best person for (that melancholy task,* (• I ? Never I I would cut off my toiigne (before it should stab her heart with suchawful news 1 . Are people over prepared (for trouble like this ?’ (‘ Well, somebody must do it; bnt like (yon I am not brave enough to meet her j with the tidings. When it is necessary, I , can amputate limbs, and do a great many |apparently cruel things,—but when it | comes to breaking such bad news as this— I am a nervous coward.

Twelve lionrs before, sho bad sat there,reading to tire faithful kind friend whose affectionate gaze rested all tho while uponLet; now stiff and icy he was seeping his last sleep in the sama spot,—and his soul ? Safely resting after the feverish toil and•trife of Time, amid the palms of Eternal Peace. Not the peace of Nirwana ; neitherthe absolute absorption of one school of philosophy, nor tho total >ixtinotion incul­ cated by a yot grosser system.

Among lhe multitudinous pbilosopbis, psychologic, biologic systems that have waxed and waned, dazzled and deluded,—from the first utterance* of Gotams,—to the very latest of the sdrauced Evolution- i*ts, ia there any other than the Christiansolution of the triple-headed riddle— Whence ?-~Wberefore ?—-Whither ? thatwill deliver us from the devouring SphinxDespair; or yield ns even shadowy conso­ lation when the pinions of gentle yet inex­orable death poise oven our household dar­ ling,—and wa stand beside the cold silent clav, which natural affection and life-longcompanionship render so inexpressibly preeimts.When we lower die coffin of our beloved, is there soothing comfort in the satisfactory rsflwtion that perhaps at som* distant•prob, by the harmonious operation of . “Natural Selection” and by virtue of the“CouMrvation of Fore*,” the “Survival oftho Fittest will esiirinly ensure the "Differentiation," th* “Ev*lution“ pf ourVaried treasure into souro, new, strange, superior tpye of creature, to us forever un­ known and utterly unrecognizable ?

Strip it naked, and yon stand face to face with the notion that not alone the more ignoble forms ofanimalcular er animal life, not alone thenobler forms of tho horse and lion, not alone tho exquisite and wonderful mechan­ism of tho human body,—but that the human mind itself,—emotion, intellect, will, and all their phonomeua—were oncelatent in a fiery cloud. Many who bold it would probably assent to the position thatat the present moment all our philosophy, nil our poetry, all our science, all our art— Plato, Shakespeare, Newton, and Raphael—are potential iy the fires of the sun.' • • • A different pedigree from thatoffered us by Moses and the Prophets,Christ and the Apostles,—bnt does it light np tho Hereafter ? Wo nro instructed that onr instincts andconsciousness dwell in tho “sensory gan­ glia,’—that ‘an idea is a contraction, a mo­ tion, a configuration of the intermediateorgan of sense—thnt ‘memory is the organ- ; ic registration of tho effects of impressions —” and that tho tho ‘cerebrum’ is the sent jof ideas, the homo of thought and reason. , But when tho ‘gray-matter’ that composes this thinking mechanism becomes diseasedand tho cold touch of death stills tho action of fibre and vesicle, what light can our teachers pour upon the future of that coag- 'ulated substance, where once reigned hope, 1 ambition, love or hate ? Those gray gran­ ules that were memory—become oblivion.Certainly physiology has grown to giant stature since tho days of ut. Paul,—but does it bring to weeping mourners anymore comfort than tho doctrine bo taught ' tho Corinthians ? Doss the steel Law Mill of ProgressiveDevolopoinent grind us cither tonic or ' balm for the fatal hours of sorest human trial ? Wo have learned that the ‘heart ofman has constructed upon the recognized rules of hydraulics, aud with its groat tubes, is furnished with common mechan­ical contrivances, valves.' But when the valvular action is at r«’t under the stern finger of Death, can allthe marvellous appliances of this intensely and wonderfully mechanical age, force one ruddy drop through those groat tubes,—orcoax one solitary throb, where God has said ‘bo still.’ To the stricken mother bowed over thowaxon imago of hor darling, is there any system, theory or creed that promises aught of the Groat-Beyond,’ comparable to thesublime hope that tho pet lamb is safely and tenderly folded by the Shepherd Jesus ?To tho aching heart anil lonely soul ofsorrowing Regina, these vexing riddles that sit open-mouthed at onr religious andscientific cross-roads,—brought no addit­ ional gloom; for with the pure holy faith of unquestioning childhood, sho seemed to seobeside tho rigid form of hor pastor aud friend, tho angel who on sea girt Patmos bado tit. John : ‘Write, Rlessed are thedead who dio in the Lord, from henceforth; yea, saitb tho Spirit that they may rest from their labors ; and thcii works do fol­low them.’ Anxious to avoid those who sat within, keeping sad watch, the unhappy girl wentaround to th* front entrance and sank down on tho lowest stop, burying hor facein her hands. Tho library was merely a continuation of tho hall that ran cast and west, throughthe centre of the house, and though com. paratively remote from tlio front door, was immediately opposite, and from, the sight of that room, Bigina shrank instinctive- •y-4 Too much shocked and stunned to weep, she became so absorbed by thoughts of to­morrow’s mournful mission, that she failed to notice tho roll of wheels along tho street,or the quick rattle of tho gate latch. Thesound of rapid footsteps and the rattle of drapery on tho pebbled walk, finally arrest­ed bcr attention, and rising she would have moved aside, but a hand seized her arm. ' What is tho matter ? How is mybrother ?’ • Oh—Mrs. Lindsay I’ ‘ Something must havo happened. Ihad snch a presentiment of trouble at home that I could not wait till to-morrow. I camo on the night express. Why is the house all lighted up ? Is Peyton ill ?Trembling from head to foot, she waited an instont, but Regina only crouched and groaned, and Mrs, Lindsay sprang up thosteps.. As sho reached the door tho light in the library revealed the shrouded table —tho rigid figure resting thereon— and apiereing wail broke the silence of death. ‘ Merciful God I not my Peyton ?’ Thrusting her fingers into her ears, Re­gina fled down the walk, out of tho yard, anywhere to escape the sound and sight ofthat broken-hearted woman, whose cry was indeed do prof undis. • If yo-i win, I ein be»r It; CHATTBB XU. ‘G«dMMi,l*l DREARY sunless December day had drawn to a close, picmaterely darkened by a■ slow drizzling rain, that brought th* gloom of early night, where • inset splendour* should have lingered,and deepened sombre desolation that man­ tled tire , Parsonage.

Attracted by tho rhythm, which softly , beat upon the air like some muffled pre­ lude striking only minor chords, Mrs. (Lindsay came to the hearth, and with her .arm resting on the girl’s shoulder, stood 1 listening. / , (' How dearly my Douglass^ lovted those , lines.’ '-Jz j ■ And on tho night before ho died, Mr. tHargrove repeated them, asking mo after­ward to select somo sweet, solemn, sacred tone with an organ accompaniment, and csing them for him. -But what music isthere that would suit a poem, which hence­ forth will seem as holy os a^Psolm to tmo ?’‘ Perhaps after a whilo yon and I may j bo able to quiet tho pain, and set it to somo Fsweet old chant.

Mrs. Lindsay, I do not wish to bo £wicked or rebellious, but it seems very j hard that I must leave this dear, quiet • homo, and be separated from you and Mr.Lindsay, whom I dearly love,—and go and j live in a city,—with that cold, bard, harsh, j stern man, of whom I am so much afraid, jHe may mean well, but ho has such uu- . kind ways of showing it. You have no j idea how dreadful the futuro looks ] to me.'.She spoke drearily, nnd in tiro fitfnl flashes of tho firelight, tho young face (looked unnaturally stern. ‘ My dear child, you must not despoml; (nt your ago ono must try to seo only thebright side. If I expected to remain in ' America, I would not give you np without a struggle; would bog yonr mother’s per­mission to keep you until sho claims:! you. But I shall only wait to learn that Douglasshas arranged for my arrival. As yon know , my sister and brother-in-law are in Egypt, aud if I were with them in Cairo, I couldhear more regularly and frequently from ■ inj’ dear boy. I wish I could koop you, , for you have grown deep into my heart,— ]but my own futuro is too uncurtain to allow me to involve any ono elso in my plan?.’‘ I nuderstand tho circumstances, but if mother only knew everything I believe sire would not doom mo to tho caro of that man of stone. Oh 1 if you could only takemo accross the ocean, aud let uio go to Venice to mother,’ Mrs. Lindsay tightened her arm aroundtho erect slender figure, and gently stroked back the hair from her temples. • My dear, you paint your futuro guar­dian too grimly. Mr. Palma is very reserved, rather haughty, and probably stern, but notwithstanding has a noblecharacter I am told, and certainly appears much interested in, and kindly disposed toward you. Dear Peyton liked him ex-ceediugiy, and bis two letters to mo were fol! of generosity an.l kind sympathy. As I bolieve I told you, Ins stepmother resideswith him, and hor daughter Miss Neville, thongli a young lady, will bo more of a companion for you than the older mem­ bers of tho household- Mr. Palma is oneof the most eminent and popularlawyers in Now York, is very ambitions I haveheard,—and at his bouse yon will moot thobest society of that great' City.—by which I mean the most cultivated, high-toned andaristocratic people. I am sorry that ho has no religious views, habits or associations, as I inferred from tho remarks of tho lady whom I mot iu Boston, and who seemed wo’l acquainted with tho Palma housohold.Sh* told mo ‘none of that family had any religion, though of course they kept a newiu the fashionable church.’ But, my dear little girl, I hope your principles and rules of lifo are sufficiently established to pro- serve you from all free-thinking tendencies.Constant attendance at church does not ■ constitute religion, any more than tho bona fide pulpit me inspire spiritual gospel;but I have noticed that where gonuino piety exists, it is generally united with a recognition of church duties and obligations.Tbs case of books I packed and sent with yonr trunks contains some very admirable, though old-foshioned, works, written bysuch women as Hannah Moore, Mrs. Chopone, Mrs. Opie, and others,—to mouldthe character if girl* and instruct tlrem iuall that is requisite to make them noble, re­ fined, intelligent, useful Christian womin.Hannah Moore'* ‘Lucilla Stanley' is one of the loveliest portraitures of female excellence in tho whole domain of litera­ture, and you will find some of the passage* marked to arrest your attention. In tin* age of rapid deviation from tirestandard rules that governed feminine de­ portment and education when I was a girl,many of the precepts and admonition*penned by tho authors I have mentioned are derided and repudiated as ’puritiyiical.'‘old-fashioned,’ ‘strait-laced,’ ‘stupid and prndiah,' but if these indeed be faults, certainly, in. the light of me<lern innova­tions, they appear ‘ to lean to virtue's side.' Io fashionable society, such a* yon aredestined to meet at Mr. Paltna's, yon wit! find many things that no doubt will im- prase you as strange, possibly wrong ; butin nil those matter* consult the books I have selected for yon, read your Bible,pray regularly, and under all eireumiterreenhold fast to your principle*. Question and listen to your conscience, and no matterbow keen the ridicule, qr severe the con­ demnation to which your views may sub­ ject you, etand firm.

YuurMchildish tastes will change as yon approach i womanhood.* i ' I hope not. Why should they ? When 1I am an old woman with white hair, spec- 1 tacl«s, wrinkled cheeks and a ruffled mnsliu 1cap like poor Hannah's, I expect to love 1pigeons and rabbits and all pretty white i things — jnst os dearly its I do now. 1 Speaking of Hannsh-bow I shall miss her ? i Since she went-away, I shun tho kitchen i us much as possible—everything is 80 <changed,uio sad. Oh 1 the dear, dear old i dead-and-gono days—wi’l never, never 1coma back to me.' For some time neilher spoke. Mrs. 1 Lindsay wept, the girl only groaned in ispirit; and at length sho sitid suddenly— i like one nerved for somo painful task: • ‘ When we separate nt tho D^pot, you to itako ono train, and I another—wo may i never moot again in this world, and I must say something to you, whiuh I could man- Ition to no ono else. There is a clond hang- i ing over me. I have always lived in its <cold shadow, even here where there is or was so much to make mo happy—and this < mystery renders mo •mwilliag to go into ithe world of curious, harsh people, who will i wonder and question. I know that Ormo is not my real name, but am forbidden to |ask for information until I am grown. I i havo full faith in my mother—I must ba- (lievo that all sho has done is right—no imatter how strange things seem ; but on < ono point I must bo satisfied. Is my i (Mother's name Minnie ?* i‘ I cannot tell you, for it was the only se- ; crct dear Peyton over kept from me. In speaking of her, he always called her Mrs. ]Orme.’ - j * Do yon know anything about tho loss t of a valuable paper, once in Mr. Hargrove's (possession ?’ j ‘ A great many yrors ago, before you . camo to live with us some ono entered this <room, opened the secret drawer of Peyton's iwriting desk, and carried off a tin box con- i tainiug some important papers.* ‘And suspicion rested on my mother?’* My darling girl who could havo been so cruel as to distress you with such matters ?No ono------' Regina interrupted hor, with an impa­ tient motion of her hand : ‘ Please answer my question. Troth isbettor than kindness—is more to mo than ] sympathy. Did not you and Mr. Hargrove believe that mother took—stole that box ?' .* Peyton never admitted to me that ho suspected her, though some circumstancesseamed to connect tho disappearance of tho ’ papers with her visit her* tho night they wore carried off. Ho accusol no one.’ I Regina was deeply moved, and her wholeface quivered as she answered : 1 * Ob I how good how truly charitable he was 1 I wonder if in all tho wide borders ;of America tliero are any more like him ? If I could only havo told him the facts, and satisfied him that my mother was innocent. 'But I waited until Hannah could got away in peace, and before she was ready to start—God had called him home. In heavenof course he knows it all now. I promised Hannah to tell no ono bnt him, and to de­ fer tho explanation until she was safe—en­tirely beyond the re tch of bis displeasure ; but since you suspected my mother, it is right that I should justify her in your esti­mation.* Very suceiuctly sho narrated what had occurred on the evening of the storm—amitho incidents of tho ensuing morning when sho followed Hannah into the churchyard. As she concluded an expression of reliefand pleasure succeeded that ot astonish­ ment which bad rested on Mrs. Lindsay’sworn and faded face. * I am heartily glad that at lost the troth has bean discovered, and that it fully ex­onerates your mother from all connection with the Kicft; fi r I confess tho circum­stances prejudiced me against her. Let nsbe encouraged, my dear litllo girl, to be­ lieve that, in duo time, ail tho other mys­ teries will be quite as satisfactorily cleared up.’ ‘ I can’t afford to doubt it; if I did,—I should not be able to------’Sho paused while an increasing pallor overspread her features. * That is right dear, belicvo in her. Woshould drink and live upon faith in ourmothers—as we did their milk that nour­ ished us. When children lose faith in theirmothers—God pity b>th! Did you learn from Hannah the character of tbs paper ? * How could I question a servant con­cerning my mother's secrets ? I only learned that Mr. Hargrove had given to my mother a copy of that which was burn­ed by tho lightning.’ * In writing to hor did you mention tho facts ?* I have not ns yet. I doubtedwhether I ought to allude to the subject, lest sbs should think I was intrud­ ing upon her confidence.** Dismiss that f»ar, and in your next let­ ter acquaint her fully with all you learned from poor Hauaab ; it may materially in­volve her interest or welfare. Now' Re- gina 1 am about to say something which you must not misinterpret, for my purposeis to comfort you, to strengthen your con­ fidence in your mother. I do not know her real name, I never heard your father’smentioned, bnt this I do know, dear Pey­ ton told me that in this room he performt d the marriage ceremony that made them htuband and wife. Why such profoundsecrecy was necessary, your poor mother will some day explain to you. Until then bo patient. * Thank you Mrs. Lindsay. It docscom- fort me to know that Mr. Hargrove wasthe minister who married them- Of cour»* it is no secret to yon that my mother is an actress ? I discovered it accidently, foryou know the papers wero never left in my way, and in all her letters she allnded to hor ‘work being successful,' but never men­tioned what it was; and I always imagined sh* was a musician giving concerts. Butono day last June, nt the Sabbath-school festival, Mrs. Potter gar* ms a Boston papar, containing an article marked with ;ink, whioh she said she wished mi to read, because it would edify a Sunday-school , pupil. It was a letter from Italy, describ-i ing one of the tbsatres there, were Mme. i Odille Orme was playing‘Medea.’ I cutout the letter, gave it to Mr. Hargrov*, i and'asked him if it meant my mother. Ha , told mo it did, and advised me to enclose it i ta her when I wrote. But I could not, Iburned it, PeopI* look down on actres*M, , as if they wero wicked or degraded, andi for a while it distressed m* very much in- I deed, I know th«re must be good a* well • as bad people iu all professions. SinceI then I have been more anxious to become , a perfect musician, so that before long 1 - can relieve mother from tho necessity of' working on the stag*.* It was wiekedly malicious in Mrs. Pra-denoe to wound you ; and we were all co anxious to shield you from every misgivingon your mother's account. Some aotresM* havo brought opprobrium upon the profes­ sion* which certainly is rather dangerous,and subjects women to suspicion an.l de­ traction ; but kt me enure you Regina,tlist there havo becti very noble, lovely,good ladies who made their bread exactly as your mother makes her*. There is nomore brilliant, cnii&ble or stiUnleH record among gifted women, than that of Mr*. Sidflons ; or to come dowa to the presentday, the world honors respects and sulmire* none more than Mm*. Bistort, or MiasCuahsuu. Personal oharsetoristies mnil deci le a woman's reputation, irrespective of 3h« fact that she lives upon the stage ;and it is unjmt that the faults of eotreo should reflect discreditably upon all in anyprofeasiott.

Bnt no matter how far we wander, or where werest, we shall never find a home so sweet, so peaceful, so full of holy and happyassociations, as this dear parfonage has been to me. Tho firo burned low, and in Its dullflicker tho shadows thickened ; while the rising wind sobbed and wailed, mourntal as a coranoch around the desolate old house,whence so many generations had glidedinto the sheltering bosom of the adjoining necropolis.Across the solemn gloomy stillness, ran thi sharp shivering sound of tho door-boll,and when the jarring had ceased, Esau entered with his lantern in bis hand. * The carriage is at tho gate, The sche­dule was changed last week, and tho driversays it is near train time.

At tho front door both paus­ ed and looked back into tho darkness thatseemod like a vast tomb, swallowing every­ thing,—engulfing all tho happy hallowed past. But Regina imagined that in the duskylibrary, by the wan flicker of tho dying firo, she could trace tho SDectral outline of a white draped table, and of a tall pros­trate form bcarine a Grand Duke jasmine in its icy hand. Shuddering violently, sho wrapped her shawl around hor and sprangdown tho steps, into tho drizzling rain ; while Mrs. Lindsay slowly followed, weep­ ing silently. • Were il mine I would dose the shutters,Like lid* when the Ilf* I* fled.And the funeral Ore should wind It,Till* curpM of a home tint t* dead.' | TO BE COXTINUE D. | 18 77, ■LONDON HOUSE.” 1B 77.

G R AND ANNO UNCEMENT OF London, Mareh 24.—Th* boat rec* was a announced as a victory for Oxford by l*ss 1 than half a length, and extra* of th* after- t noon papers *? declared bnt two coxswains a Judge and Umpire will mart at two p. tn. ito decide whether Oxford won, or th* rac* ’was a dead heat. The reason for this is t tbe ambiguous form of th* Judge*’ decision, i namely • dead bent by two yards. I FAirricuLAR* or the race. London,March 24.—Th* 84th University ' boat rac* resnlted for the first time in a .dead heat. Th* coura* was the usnal on* on th* Thames, from Putney to Mortlake, four miles, two furlongs. Tb* number ofspectators was small, with not half as many steam vessels and launch** os usual. The start was made at 8.27, Oxford oars takingwater first, and they w*ra eight feet ahead ' in half* dozen stroke*. This lead they held i to Duke’s head where th* Cambridge drew <up and became level half way between Duke's Head and Simmons' Yard. Off tbe latter place tbey went ah*ad about fourfe«L At th* London boat-house the crews occupied about th* m o position, thoughthe Cacnbridg* craw rowed somawhat th* better. At Craven Cottage, six furlongs from th* start th* boats wore about level The Oxford crew then forged ahead, andwhen about a mile had been traversed lad by about a third of a length. At the Crab tree the Oxford led by only a few feet. Atthe distillery, somewhat over a mile, four furlongs from the start, the Cambridge ones more showed in the front twoor three feet. At the oil mills, two miles and slightly over a furlong from the start, Oxford drew np alongside. At thebottom of Chiswick Eyot Oxford was again in front, being better together than Cam­ bridge, who »«etned much troubled by tberongh water. At Chiswick Church, three miles having been towed, Oxford had in­ creased their advantage to twp-thirds of a length, and the rac* was apparent'/ nolonger in doubt. Rounding the bend into Horseshoe Bench the water became smoother, and Cambridge gained, bnt Ox­ford drew away and were nearly a length ahead of the hatluug. place, nine furlongs from the winning point. Cambridge mod* another effort, but only reduced Oxford • lead by two-thirds of a length. No further change occurred up to Barce's Bridge, fivefurlong^iurthor on, through which Oxford passed nearly n length ahead, and off the White Hart, four furlongs from the win­ ning goal, was over a length.in ndvance oflines ; but slightly further on Cambridge reduced th* lead of Oxford which momentarily got all abroad, as their bow­man was seon^to be in difficulties, and unable to use his oar properly. Cambridge drew up within a third of a length, and a(wriuc rkie th:h dntdS to finish,\_Uxford striving to reloiu lead and Cambndgd head Ibem from ill* ship to winning OC?t, which was stationed some distance abevc the ship. Cambridge drew up, and a gunwas fired as tbe two crew* raced past tbe Judge’s level, amid a scene of the wildest excitement; time—24 minutes, 10 seconds.Th* Judge declared the race a dead h<fat. Mr. Chitty was umpire. The Standard says :—Just at White Hart Oxford's No. 1 broke his rowlock, butwas still able to row. Later—At a meeting between tb* rep-resentive* of the two crew*, the Judge stat­ed that he never wavered from his decision that the race was a dead heat. London, March 25,—At tbe Universityboatmen’s dinner, Saturday Evening, Chitty the umpire, stated that, having questioned th* Judge on the result of therace La was satisfied both boats had paired tire post rimultaiMoasly. T ie’try of Dead Heads,4’ In a long article on Journalism aud Be- porters, the New York Evening Mail «ays thus :—" It is the people and not tii* jour­nalists who are ‘ dead head*.’ In case anything more serious than stubbing the to* befall* a man, he hasten* to the near­est newspaper and demand* that th* ed­ itor shall wield th* pen and shed ink in his vindication or defence. And if the, jaded editor does not with alacrity espouse the causa of his ‘patron’ ho will moke an anemy for life. ‘Membars of the press,ore literally bunted down by *11 sorts of i people who have axes to grind. The dud- i ager* of a public meeting who do not findthe reporters at the tsbfe suffer sting* of disappointment; the judge, who sonorous- ' ly blows his nose before reading his opin­ ion looks anxiously for the stenographers;» the preacher who diseante upon some spa- i dal subject, loses spirit if the represantive* • of the pros* are not there ; even the bur-> glar on the way to the State prison coveta a talk with the‘newspaper* man. .Yet the ' outside barbarian think* all newspaper1 men are dead heads, and envies them thefine times they have in the way of free1 dinners and free tickets to all manner of : shows. There never was a greater mis-> take. People do not seem to realize that ‘ on tbe put of the journalists, it is merely > a matter of business; that the reporter goes! to these places so attractive toi outriders, much aa the horse goes > to th* plow—because he must do *o. We > venture to say that four-fifths of these en­tertainments are to journalists intolerable I bores.

Thedifference ia that a registered letter doss not go in the mail proper. It passes fromband io hand outside of th* mail pouches,every person through whose hand* it pos­ ses being required to sign a rooiupt for it on r*c< iving i», and secure a receipt for it onpassing it over to tin next transit. The person holding the last receipt is thus al­ ways able to show who is accountable forits loss. Th* responsibility rests upon thaman who has signed a receipt for the reg­ istered package and who ii not able to pro­ duce the package or a receipt from some­body else for it. Th* safest way to send money is by money order. Wbsr* iI does not go to a money order office it should al­ways bo sent in a registeied package.

The excitement and alarm which was caused by the burning ef Slaght's mill, on the night of Saturday the 3rd of February and which was generally believed to bo the work of an incendiary, had of kte quite subsided, and th* majority of citizens had begun to look upon it as one of the things of the past. The Mayor an-1 others however have boon quietly working up the case, aMisted by * Toronto detective. With* viow to finding out a* ranch as possible, a young man from Toronto named Mose* Berres, was brought here by Detective Et-telson and locked up in th* jail m a decoy prisoner, and placed bo that he could hav* easy communication at all times with pris­ oner Manly.
