The professions made by Mr. Blake, five years ago, of his self-im­ posed duty of elevating the standard of purity and stamping under foot political corruption, sounds very inconsistent when taken ia conjunction with his apologies for an act which has shocked the moral sense of the country, and has exhibited the " Re­ form ” Government as parlies to an act so improper, so glaring, so inimical to the prevailing notions of parliamentary inde­ pendence. the Association. This splitting up and division is made, we presumo, to appease tho jealousies of sectional partisaus who are envious of Ingersoll became she is favored with a large proportion of the cheese trade of the country. Ingersoll has been and still is the geographical centre of the largest and most prosperous cheese pro­ ducing section of the province, and its in­ habitants being of an enterprising turn ofI mind, possessed of tbe necessary push and activity to take advantage of the natural advantages and opportqnity which present­ ed themselves in the early stages of the cherse business in Canada, organized tbe Dairymen’s Association. While the Asso­ ciation was in its infancy it was nurtured and fostered by tbe town of Ingersoll and surrounding country, and bad a hard strug­ gle for existence. But by the indomitable perseverance and energetic activity of jta. few members it grew in proportions, till it demanded the attention of the Government, and it became incorporated, with an annual Government Grant, simfliar to Agricultur­ al Societies. This was too much for other sections of tho Province which had a fsw cheese factories iu their neighborhood, and they have Loon striving year after year to get tho Convention away from Ingersoll. First Belleville obtained a share of tbe pat­ ronage, but that was not sufficient, and now tho Province has been divided into two sections, and tho Conventions are to ba moved about at tho option or the Directors instead of being fixed at Ingersoll and Belleville. We can only see dis.vster to tho organization in this now departure. While tho Association had, as it ware, a homo iu Ingersoll, the immediate centre of at loast one-half of the cheese trade of the province, it was iu a flourishing con­ dition. When it was taken to Belleville it lost some of ita vigor, and now that it is to bo moved about at the option of any dir­ ectors who may succeed in securing elec­ tion, wo feci that that interest which it has required in the past to keep it intact will bo lost. Wo hope that wo may bo wrong in onr surmises, but we foel that this pandering to petty sectional jealousies will bo disostruous to the benefits which should acme from tho Association. scalper sitting in the Post-Office, and a cor­ruptionist who supported the Tories from 1887 until he got a portfolio at the reoeipl of Custom.

Ingersoll, Deeeuil*-20, 187R, We publish elsewhere, per correspon­ dence of the Toronto Mail, a detailed statement of lots purchased by the Govern­ ment on the Kamiuistiquia, for the terminus of the Canada Pacific Railway, as laid before Parliament p»r official report. It will be sasa that Dy far the largest pro­ portion of these lots were owned by Joseph Davidson. Now, as Mr. Davidson was otfiy a partner iti the firm of Oliver, David­ son &Cj., of which Missra. Alam Oliver and P. J. Brown of Ingersoll were partners, how is it that their namis do not eppaar or that »b> firm n um wxi not given as owners of the lots purchase.! 7 Was it be­ cause one of the gentlemen was mixed up as a contractor on the road and the other wa> appointed a commissioner to assist in making the purchases—and it would not look well for him to ba making the pur­ chases from himself—or for some other political reason, that they yroro not recog­ nized as owners of the lots ? If they were owners with Mr. Davidson, then kt us know the whole truth and not furnish the Government with a partial and untruthful reports, and if they were not, tfiea all that we have got to add is that Messrs. Oliver and Brown have mat their equal for sharp- nesa for once, and Mr. Davidson walks off with his pockets lined with a good portion of {51,000 for land which, a few years ago, did not cost them the oue-bundrodth part of that sum.

SeU JO H N G A Y F ER MW The Mont real Star in virtuous iudigua tiou of the tone of the political press of the present day s a y s “ The political atmos- pbere is most foul. If the partizan journals were to be believed none bat the veriest reprobates out of the penitentiary fill the high executive offices of the country ; none but convicted criminals constitute her Majesty's loyal Opposition. Day by day, week by week, the columas of the press reek with the vilest diatribes against the characters of our public men. A stranger reading the political nrgaas of the country would be justified in assuming that one day there had been a general jail-delivery, after which the most consummate scoundroh bad been selected for active political service in the Cabinet, the Senate and the Commons, and th* balance of available rascality turned into the Provin­ cial Legislatures for th* purposes of local villainy and depredation. Th* Premier has at last bran goaded into instituting actions forlib*! against the western paper*, the Sarnia Canadian and the Toronto Mail. Thia is not to be wondered at, tor he has been abased like a pickpocket, and exposed to insults only equalled by those which the Globe has been always ac­ customed to addrou to lie political oppo­ nente. His colleagues have been also at­ tacked in the bitterest manner, and, n* doubt, there is one of them whose record of political Moondrohsm may be found in tho eolumne of the Globe. Where eball w* tarn tor a remedy ? We do not hesitate to eay that it is far tho "Reform" press to lead in a veritable reform, by ratting * good ex­ ample, for the rahool of what may b* termed satanin jeurnaltfos has been tor years conducted by the Globe, in whose wake have doedy followed the minor organs." The Youxo Mex’s Liberal Conservative Association was kindly furnished by our contemporary last week, with a list ef questions for discussion at its prospective de­ bates. We have no doubt the Association will bo duly thankful, and in order that wo may receive our share of thanks we bog to supplement the following list:— 1st—Wliat was the definition of the word Reform four years ago nud what is the definition of the sumo word now that the party who assume that namo are in power ? 2.—If the avowed coalition of Sir John Macdonald was wrong, how much worse is the denied coalition at present on the Treasury benches—a Tory Minister of Fi­nance ; another Secretary of State ; a pub­ lic criminal, Provident of the Council; n mi nc-scalper sitting in the post-office, anda corruptionist who supported tho Tories in 18G7 until ho got a portfolio nt the receiptof Customs ; an auctioa-pnffor in charge of the Inland Revenue D ipartmsnt, nnd an unscrupulous camp-follower ia the waroffice ? 3rd.—Is 82.000.003 of a deficit in expec­ tancy although 83,003.000 of extra taxeshave been raised, the true exemplification of retrenchment and economy, according to the Grit vocabulary ? 4th. —Is a contractor in the pay of the Government a fit and proper person to sit as Speaker ia the House of Commons 7 5th.—Ina Government justified in throw­ing away >51,000 for "town” lots in the bush for a railway terminus, whan the peo­ ple any that it is a bad piece for such a ter- miuus, in order thsl the/ may satisfy the greed of a few leeches, and hangers on of the party 7 We could add to this list, but we shall be satisfied when these are ahswersd. Per­ haps it would be we’l for our Grit friends to get up a Young Men’s Debating Club to help them out. We think the party of " Moral Ideas ** would be better able to handle the above questions. T he Act of Parliament incorporating the Daurymess Association of Ontario has bran amended, dividing th* province into Em - Urn and Western Divisions with an Amo - elation for saeh.

Ottawa, April 8.—The returns long lookedfor, showing the quantity of land purchasedfor railway purpoaoj by the Dominion Govern- moot, on the Kaminittiquia, for tho terminusfor the Canadian Pacific Railway, tho personsfrom whom such purchase was mode, and thoamount paid thertor; also, correspondencebetween the Government ami tho municipalityof Shuniah, Prince Arthurs Landing, touch­ ing tnc terminus nt said rail way.or aid thereto,have been brought down. These documentaore most interesting, proving conclusivelythat the Government under partisan pressure permitted tho public treasury to Ire depletedto the extent of thousands of dollars. Thoterminus chosen wa, protested against in forcible terms by one hundred petitioners,who set forth a statement that Prince Arthur’sLanding is a flourishing town of twelve hun­ dred inhabitants, composed chiefly of activ*and enterprising man, who have b?ei themeans ol opening up this isolate! section, enduring the usual disadvantages and hard­ships of pioneers, and deserving, therefore, ofrecognition at the hands of the Government ; that a large amount of capital, over 8320,009,has been expended i i actual building improve-tnents, and consequently the value of the landgreatly enhance! ; whereai the town plot of Fort William is almost uninhabited, and isowned almost entirely by speculators. Fur­ther, that there was already at the Landing, besides an open roadstead for any number ofvessels, a good substantial dock, which, witha comparatively small additional expenditure,would bo amply sufficient for all the require­ ments of trade for several years to come.There are only two or three days during theseason when vessels would have any difficulty in discharging or shipping, with the accommo­dation the dock possesses nt present, but abreakwater of six hundred feet or less wouldobviate this, and as only four miles of per­ fectly level country intervene between FortWilliam and this, the cost of continuing thorailway would be very small. Added to thia, that it was an undisputed fact that the Karn-inistiquia river is closed by ice several weeksearlier than the bay, tho average time ef the river freezing up, being'tho first week inNovember ; this is a disqualification affectingthe river for being made the final terminus of the railway on Lake Superior, the importanceof which Cannot be over-estimated, as the fallof tho year is tho period daring which theheaviest shipments are made ; therefore, if the railway terminate at Fort William, all latefreight would have to gobg Duluth., Mas losinga large aiiwunt nf money to Canmla, betidrt bullying up Anerwan line* in opp'ieition to ottrt;in the same way shippers in tho West wouldship eta Duluth rather than risk having theirfreight laid over for an entire season at FortWilliam. The petitioners concluded as follows -" Wo do not deem it nsoossary to enlargeon the well known fact of there being at the Kaministiquia river an extouiive b.sr of somethree-quarters of a mile in length, involving alargo expenditure in dredging, keeping dred­ged and cribbing ; sailing vessels would also require towage for several miles to reach theterminus as at present located, whereas at thelanding vessels ean enter or leave by night dr in fogs without tha assistance of tugs.Despite all this, however, th* "town plot"at Kamiuistiquia was purchased—and from whom ? It is assarted that th* people oftha Frince Arthurs Landing ware corrqgt ;that speculators had in many oaves taken up grants from the Ontario Government jestwhen the present Dominion Government wasAnnouncing >te policy, and that there is aauspicious connection between the Davidson who received thousands of dollars and a cer­tain Oxford politician who once was anaoatedand gave up his place afterwards to the Hon.Adam Crooks, However^ until further inves­tigation it might be wrong to credit the story.Be that as it may, there ia a well-known firm named Oliver.

A mine - Tailoring OXFORD TRIB UNE CimabH §Uirj» gtporttr WEDNESDAY. APRIL >1, 1*77. The American AgricuUuriet for April I saysF arm work, nearly everywhere, begins now. In some of the Middle and | Western States, much of the spring work . is done, and corn and root planting only , remains. But in the more Northern States (and Canada) lummir follows winter (without a »pring, with a rush, . and the farmer who ia not well prepared, siiuda hi 4 work “all of a heap" and pushing ‘ him, instead of his pushing the work. To , hnrty overwork is to waste labor. No . 1-nrry ’• needed when work is well laid out^aod every job is foreseen and planned for. More thought must go into our work. 1 Although tbs times are mending, and ; farmers have felt bnt little of the general < distfesa that business men have experienced * yet pe may confess that times are still hard. 1 Prices are low and profits are small. Hord 1 times quicken invention, and when men are pressed, their intellects are wonderfully 1 brightened. Most of the great inventions 1 that have revolutionized labor, have been 1 forced into men's minds by pressure of un- 1 favorable circumstances. The alternative has frequently been •• a new and cheap > method of ruin." Just now we seem to be 1 on the ove of some needed discovery for 1 cheapening farm labor, or making it more 1 effective. When the time was ripe for ' s in» great innovation, it has always come; the mother “ necessity ” never yet failed to find- the child “ invention." No great staple can long bo produced at a loss, or even at less than a living profit, and now ; that we see clearly the dawning of a prom­ ised day in business, there is a certainty ; that the farmer’s labor -will be as well rec- i ompensed as it deserves. But we shall ' have to work for it, not so much with our . hauds as with our brains. i HINTS ABOUT WORK. Plowing.—None but a fertile soil should bo turned over very deeply. At this season, this should be well remembered, because there is no time for the weather to mellow the fresh soil. For spring crops, the soil * should bo turned up mellow and rich, that the seed may push into active growth at once. Ferl'ditert.—For the reason just men­ tioned, fertilizers for use on spring crops should bo such ns are quickly sonluable, and readily taken up by the plant Lite Stock.—One of the most encour­ aging events M late, has been the opening of an export trade of beef and mutton to Euglaud. i If this succeeds, and grows, m now seems probable, it will provide a way out of our heretofore greatest difficulties. Instead of growing and exporting grain, we shall.grow .and use it ourselves, and ex­ port the produce. This will leave our fams in much better plight To meet this new demand, our slock must be im­ proved in quality, by sparing the heifer calves and ewe lambs from slaughter. Rainng Hortet.—Ae has always been the cue in the past, the increasing use of steam engines makes more work for horses, and horses of the working kind are scarce. It is a question worth considering if it would not bo better to keep marca upon the farma' for breeding, instead of selling them to work in the cities, where their pro­ ductive powers nro not used. We have found mares equally serviceable with horses for farm work, and an annual colt will nearly ^pay for a mare’s feed. BraodrMarce, if rightly managed, may come in after the spring’s work is over, and can raise a colt before the fall work comeson. If ths colt comes in June, the mart is wall able to plow and harrow until the middle of May, and will be ready for work again by the time haying begins. But .at this season a brood mare’s4work should be steady, although it may be hard. Violent jerky, and longcontinued work is what injures her. Young Stock.—As the change of feed comes on, care must be exercised in regard to young animals. It is pectin turn them on to grars far an linin’ or two daily, before the partarc beoomos full. Well-continued yearlings are in more danger than poorer ones, and with them greater care should be taken. Platter.—A bushel of ground gypsum per acre, will be found a very useful appli­ cation for young clover, er far oats, when they arealilUe above ground. Gypsum isnsaftd far its own constituents, without depending upon its absorption of ammonia from the air. All the ammonia we get that way will be a very poor help. At 60 coots a bushel, plaster is a cheap fertilizer for clover, oate gt com. Boot Crops.—-Plowing should bo done this month far mangels. No root crop pays better than this. Choose a piece of clean com-stubble, plow tborongbly open drills, in which drop manure at the rate of eigbl or fan tons per aero, cover with the plow, level with a light harrow lengthwise of Use drills, so ns not to obliterate them ; theta sow the seed over the manure, with a band or horse p^mfar, and Matter a little guaiVi or blood fatiluer along tha row. Four founds of seed for an acre is required. Wo prefer Yellow Globo. Don’t aim to get big roots, bat a fall crop of fair-sized •Bee. We are saLsfiod with 80 tons, or ACOO bushels, per acre. At this rate a bushel coats ft eta., or lMs. Bow as soon as possible, I’ofafocs.—Ewly potatoes may be kept * lightly covered with the hoe or a light erne- homo plow. Watch the manaravree of the jKrtafa beetle, and when it begins work pick the msreta from the leaves into a pan. Calvce ~*8pue the heifer ealvee of iho ) best cows. A very good heifer may bo raised on skim milk ; the ereayi may boreplaced by a little oQ-gaeaL^To feed a calf for the butcher for 6 v/eeks on new milk, does not’pay, even if ft bring 110 or $19. Uur cows arc not so good as they might be, did we keep and generously raise the best heifer calves. Manure.—Cart to tha ground intended for corn. If it is sod ground all the better, the sod will bo made thicker and more val­ uable as a fertilizer. Plowing for Com may bo delayed until the season admits of planting. We are sat­ isfied that ft is a good plan to plant on the mellow, freshly-turned soil before ft dries, or has been beaten and hardened by raina. Time is often lost with this crop by plant­ ing too early, and before the soil is warmed. Cleaning Up.—This should no longer be neglected. Warm, damp weather causes active decomposition of all rubbish, and the gases given off by this are unwholesome. Clean out and whitewash the cellar; if the floor is of earth scrape it ther jughly and re­ move the top, replacing it with cleau sand; then at the first opportunity cover ft with cement of hydraulic lime and gravel. Rake up the yards, burn all the rubbish, and save the ashes. Clean up the manure heaps and let off all surface water. Bainy dagt may be employed in clean­ ing tools, implements, machines, and pat­ ting them in good order for work when thoy will be wanted ; in making coops for chickens, or any of the handy contriv­ ances for'saving labor, that arc so frequent­ ly described. Poultry.—With a grassy run for fowls, the grain feed may be reduced somewhat. Whatever grain is fed may be given only in the morning aud at night, thus obliging the hens to forage in the middlo of the day for themselves. Ducks should be kept shut up in the morning until they have laid, as they are veiy careless about their eggs. Goese may be Bet now, and should not be disturbed on their nests. The less fussing there is over sitting fowls the bet­ tor. Keep water and food near the nests. Young fowls of whatever kind need a little feed often, but overfoading is unwholesome.

Many animals that would have made good milkers by kind and judicious treat­ ment, have been spoiled or greatly injured for milk by want of proper attention and manage­ ment Heifers, previous to coming in milk, should be daily handled and petted, and made so familiar with the persons who have them in charge as not only to show no fear, but they should exhibit a fondness for persons and a desire to be caressed. The best way to begin an acquaintance with an animal is by showing it kindness by feeding it often from the band tempting bits of food, and striving by all possible means to gain its entire confi­ dence ; and in this the gentle tones of the voice will have much to do, since animals seem to understand the tones of ths voice as well as persons. If the heifer is very wild, it is a good plan to card or brush the hair from time to time, grooming the legs and handling the udder, and if this is done gently and per­ sisted in from day to day, the wildest creature is subdued and becomes tractable. The great point to be observed is never to give the animals pain or cxcito their fear; and just so soon as they are made to un lerstand that they are not to be hurt, the chief obstacle in the way of improvement is removed. The milking habit is, in part at least, a matter of education. AU fear, pain, or nervous excitement checks the secretion of milk. It is important, then, that all this be avoided in the young animal, and that thn habit of freely yielding milk bo promoted. Tho habit of kicking is, for the most port, learned in breaking the heifer to milk, and great care should be taken to avoid the learn­ ing of this vice. Patience and good temper in the milker are important requisites, and no hasty or ill-tempered person should be aUow- ed to "break heifers to tho pail,” since tho chance of their acquiring some vice is greater than most people imagine. Wo have in numerous instances seen heifers completely ruined in the attempt to break them to tho pail, and all IfSm hasty and injudicious treat­ ment. We have always fotmd it best to remove the calf early from its mother and place it out of her sight She then the sooner forgets it and takes more kindly to the milker. In a few instances where the calf has remained a long time with the mother and was then re­ moved, tho mother's mourning has caused serious trouble and loss. Heifers require an abundance of nutritious food—food rich in fleh and bone making material—because, as -the animal has not Cniabed her grdwth, the drain from Bulking u apt to nm her down weak and thin, unless she is full-fed. Bran and oaten-meal makes an exceUsnt ration, in addition to the usual quantity of hay or the grass obtained from pasturage. There is a flifferenooof opinion in regard to the length of time that heifers should bo milked. In our experience wo find that the best results are obtained when the animal is kept in milk a goodly length of time, for if she is dried early in the fall, the habit seems so be acquired and ever afterwards she will bs inclined to fail in milk and go dry in ac­ cordance with bar first seasons milking. It seems hard ft fa true to prolong tho milking season of a young animal ; bnt with extra can and plenty of ntttritaous food, wo injury ia likely to. result, -while there is much more prospect of her making • good milker than when duel off early.

When Hattie came to carry down th* silver tray, c.>ntaiaing the delicate green and gold Chi­ba diehea, she complimented the stranger tipra the improvement in her appaarancj ; adding : * Mias Olga directed me toshgW J0**house, ami any thing you might like Id lookat, so I lighted the parlors and reception room; und the library always ha* a fir*, and the gas burning. That is next to Mr. Palma's bod-roonf, and is his soecial place.He comes und goes sa irregular that we never can tell when he is id it. Once last year be got home at nine o'clock, unex­pectedly, and a»t np all night writing there in the cold. Next morn ing he gave ordersfor fire and light in that room, wether he waa at home or not. MU#, if you don't mind looking around by yourself, I sbotildincite ran around to Eighth Avenue, for a fev min ttes, to see my sick anut. Terry has On Mit, and Mary promised to an­swer bus ball, if any one called. Farley says be easy about your dog ; be had a hearty dinner of eonp and meat and is on asofter bed,"than eome poor souls lay on to- night. Can I go ?' * Certainly* I am not afraid ; and when Iget sleepy I will come np and go to bed. When will Mrs Palma and Miss Neville come home ?’* Not before mil night if then? She explained to Ilsgiua how to eleva to and extinguish tbe gas, and the two wantdown to the sitting-room, whence Hittie soon disappeared. Raising the silk curtainthat divided this apartment from the par­ lors, Regina walked slowly np and down upon the velvet carpet in which her feetseemed to sink, as on a bod of mos* ; and h*r eyes wandered admiringly over the gilded stands, gleaming bronzes, marblestattuftes, papier mvche, ormolu, silk, lace brocatel, maquette, srtia and silver which attracted her gaze.Beautiful picture* adorned the tinted walls, and tbe cei'ing was brilliantly fres­ coed, while one of tlio wide bay-windowscontained a stand filled with a superb ar­ ray of wax-fl iwers. Regina opened the el­ egant grand piano, but forbore to touchthe keys, and nt tail when sbe had feasted her eyes enffiusnUy npsu 101m lovely landscapes by Giff >rd and Biorstadt, shequitted the richly deeorated parlors, and slowly went np the rftairs which led to the room which Hattie bod pointed out os Mr. Palma's library.Leaving the door partly open, she enter­ ed a long lofty apartment, the floor ofwhich waa of marquetry, polished almost as glass, with furred robes laid hero and there before the tables, snd deep luxuriouseasy-chairs. Four spaduus lines of book-shelves with glass lines bearing silver handles, girdedthe sides of the room, and the walls were painted in imitation of tbe Pompeian style;while the corners of the ceiling held lovelyfrescos of tbe seasons, and in tho centre was a zodiac. Bronze and marble busts shonehere and there, and where the panels of the wall were divided by representations ot colnmns, metal brackets nnd wooden con­soles sustained delicate figure* sad groups of sculpture.Filled with wonder sad delight, th* girl glided serosa the shining mosaic finer, gaz­ ing now on the flowing garlands nndwinged figures on tn* wall, and now at ths elegantly bound book*, whose gilded titles gleamed through the plate glass.She had read of such room* in "St. Mar. tin's Summer,” a volume Mrs. Lindsay never tired of quoting, but this oxqai-site reality frassoended all her previous flights of imagination, and approaching thebright coal fire, she basked in the gonial glow—in the atmosphere of taste, culture and rare luxury. A quaint clock inlaidWith designs in malachite,' ticked drowsily upon th* low black marble mantle, which presented winged lions bearing up the stab,and near tbe hearth wa* an ebony and gold escritoire which stood open, revealing n bronze inkstand and velvet penwiper.Before it sat the revolving chair, with a bright colored embroidered cushion for the feet to rest upon ; and in a recess behindlur*. th* desk, and psutly screened by (he sweepnt demise curtains, hung a man's pearl- ■ grey dressing-grown, lined with cherry silk ; under itreeted a pair of black-velvetslippers, anerustod with vine leaves and hunches of grapes in gold bullion. Wishing to ee* the effect, Regina look ataper from tbe Murrhin* cup on the man­ tle, and standing on a chair, lighted the doster of burners, shaped like Pompeianlamps, in the chandelier nearest the grate; then went back to the rug beforathe fire, and enjoyed the spectacle present'd.What treasures of knowledge were con­ tained! in this beautiful, quiet, brilliant room?Would she be permitted to explore the nontentaaf those Mok-shelves, where hun­dreds of volnmis invited her eager investi­ gation ? Could she ever be as happy here, as in th* humble yet halo wad library atth* dear old Parnonage ? An oval table immediately under the ^aa-globto, held a Chins stand filled withcigars, and teeing several books lying near it she took up on*. It was Gustave Dore's • Wandering Jew,'and throwing herself down on the mg, she propped her head with one band,whil* the other slowly turned the leaves, and ska uxumined th* wonderful illustra­ tion*. Sha w m vagubly conscious thatthe etoak struck ten, but paid little atten­ tion to the flight of time, and after a whileshe closed the book, drew th* cushion before the desk, to the rag in front of the firs, laid her bead en it, and, eeotbed byth* warmth and perfeei rtpore af Cha room, Boon after fhe door opened wider, andMr. Palma entered, and walked half-way down tbe roam ere he perceived the re-cumbsnt figure. lie p»;ueG .then a lvaueed <m tiptoe and stood by the hearth,warming hie white scholarly baud* and fojphmgam - -l ->--- With th* careless grace of a child, in no- cent ft the aft vt attitndtairiug, she hadmade herealf thoroughly comfortable ; and M tbe light streamed full upon bm. ull theaanrrelloim beauty of the dalle ate fam, and the perfeet modelling at the small hands and fast war* clearly revealed. The glossyHives! hair clang in waving ffiiww around her white fall forehead, and the toog silky he had aaan last at tbe Parsonage, but themost aagelio purity of expression which cha: acterixed her m a child, had be >n in­ tensified by time and recent grief, andwa chiog hor in her m tiouless repose, her this igbt that unquestionably she was ths fairest image he had ever seen in flesh ;though a certain patient sadness about her beautiful lips told him that the waves ofsorrow were already beating hoarsely Upon the borders of her young life. Standing upon his own hearth, a man ofmagnificent stature and almost haughty bearing, Erie Palma looked quite forty, tbongh in reality younger ; and the stemrepression, tbe cautious reticence which had long been babital, seemed to have hardened his regular handsome featarea.Weary with tbe business cares, tbe pro­ fessional detail* of a trip that had yieldedhim additional laurels and distinction, andgratified hi* towering pride, he had come home to rest; and fonnd it singularly re­ freshing to study the exquisite picture ofinnocence, lying on his library rag. He wondered bow the parents of such a srtfild tfcrald entrust her to the piardianshipof strailgers; arftl whether it would be possible far her to carry her peculiar lookof holy purity—’ssfoly into the cloudy Be­ yond—of womanhood ? While he pondered, the clock struck! andRegina awoke. ■ At eight of that tall stately flgaro, loom­ ing like a black statae batween her andthe glow of the grate, she sprang first in to a sitting posture, then to her feet. He made no effort to assist her, onlywatched every movement, and when she stood beside him, he hold out hi* hand. • Regina, I am glad to see you in rayhouse; and am sorry I could not have been at home to receive you.’ Painfully etnbarraisad by tho thought ofthe position in which he had found her, she covered her face with her hand ; and at the sound of his grave deep voice, theblood swiftly mounted from bar throat to tbe tip of her small shell-shaped ears. He waited for her to sneak, but shecould not snfficiontly conquer her agita­ tion, and with a firm hand he drow down the shielding fingers, holding them in his.‘ There is nothing very dreadful in your being caught fast asleep, like a white kitten on a velvet rug. If you are neverguilty of anything worse, you and your guardian will not qnarrel.’ Her face fan! drooped beyond the rangeof his vision, and when he put one hand under her chin and raised it, he saw that the missing light in the alabaster vase hadbeen supplied, and her smooth cheeks were flashed to brilliant carmine. Hew marvellously lovely she was in thatrush of color that dyed her dainty lips, and made the large soft eye* seem radiant as stars, when they bravely struggled np tomeet his—so piercing, so coolly critical. ‘ Will you answer me one question, if Iask it ?' • Certainly, Mr. Palma; at least I will try.*‘ Are you afraid of me?' The sweet mouth quivered, but the clear Instrous eyes did not sink. • Yes, Sir, I have always been afraid ofyon.’ • Do you regard me as a monster ofcruelty ?* . ‘ No, Sir.’ 1 Will yonr conscience *11ow you to say:‘My Guardian I am glad to see yon ?* * She was silent. •That is right, little girl. Be perfectlytrn hful, and seme day we may be friends. Sit down.’He handed her achair, and rolling for­ ward one of the deep cushioned seats, made himself comfortable in its softluxurious latitude. Throwing Ins missive head b ick against the purple velvet lining, ho adjusted his steel-rimmed spectacles,joined his bands, and built a pyramid with his finger; while he scrutinized her nscoldly, as searchingly as Swammerdam or Leeuwcaboak might have inspected some naw and as yet unclassified anitnalculum,str as Filippi or Pasteur studied the causes of ‘‘Pebrine." • What do yon think of Naw York?’• It seems a vast human son, in which I could easily lose myself, and be neithermissed nor found.* • Have you studied mythology st all ? Or was yonr pastor-guardian afraid ofpaganizing you ? Did you ever hear ofArgus?* • Yes, Sir. I understand you.’' He was merely a dim prophecy of onr Police system; and when adventurous girls grow rebellious and essay to less them­selves, a hundred Arguses are watching them. You seem to like my library ?’ • It is the most beautiful room I haveever seen.’ • Wait until yon examine the triumph of upholstering skill and genus wbish Mrs.Palma calls her parlors.' ■ I saw all the pretty things down stairs, but nothing will compare with this lovelyplace.' She glanced around, with undis­ guised admiration.•Pretty things! Objeit de luae t Oh, ye gods of fashionable bric-a~bac ! verilv, ‘out of the mouths of babes—etc., eta.* Bevery careful to suppress yonr heretical andtreasonable preference in the prase oca of Mrs. Palma, who avoids this pet library efmine, as if it were a magnified Pandora’s box. Rsgiua, I have a 'reason to appre­ hend that you and she declared war atsijfbt.' • I know she doesnot like ma.* • And yon fully reciprocate the pre*jndice ?' • M> *■ Palma, of course, bu a right toconsult her own wishes in the uunagemeatof her home nnd household.* • Just here permit me to correct yon. My hones, if yon please—my houeehold—overwhich, at my requexl, sbe presides. Upon your arrival, you did not find her quite mcardial as you anticipated ?* H?r gace wandered to the file, and the was silent.• Be so good m to look at ma when I ■peak to yon.

TeU me the portion- i tare of your reception her*.*The beautiful face turned pleadingly to him.! ‘You must excuse me, Sir. I have ‘ nothing to tell ye«.’ r * And if I will not excuM you ?' I She folded her hands together, and cem- • That amounts to the ib^m thing, dose it no t ?’ tihe shook her head.• Your impression is, that I will netplease to do exactly right ?’ • I have not said *0, Sir.”• Your eyes ar* very brave, honest wit­ nesses, and need no support from yonr Ups. Suppose we enter into negotiations andcompromise matter* between Mrs. Palma and yon ? Thia troublesome dog is a pest­ iferous creature, which might possibly betolerated in country clover fields; bnt is most wofully out of place in a Fifth Avenue honse. Beside, you will soon be a younglady, and your beaux will leave you noleisure to pct him. Yon are fifteen*?' • Not yet; and if I were fifty it would make no difference, I don’t want any beaux Sir—but—I musMiave my Hero.'• Of eonrse, all misses in their teens be­ lieve that thoir favorite is a hero.’ • Mr. Palma—Hero is my dog's name.'He could detect a quiver in her slender nostril, and understood the heightening arch of her lip.•Ohl is it indeed ? Well.no dog that ever barked is worth a household hurricane You must make up your mind to surren­der him, to shed a few tears and say uale IIafo I Now I am disposed to bo generousfor once, though understand that is not my habit, and I will bny him. I will pay you, let me see—thirty-five—forty—well, sayfifty dollars ? That will sapply you with Maillard’s bonbons for almost a year; will sweeten your bereavement.'She rose instantly with a peculiar sparkle leaping up in her splendid eyes. • There is not gold enough in New Yorkto bny him.' ‘ What I I must see this surly brute, that in your estimation is beyond all prioe.Tell me truly, do yon cling to him so fond­ ly, because some school-boy sweetheart— some rosy cheeked lad in V------gavo himto you as a love token ? Trust me; we lawyers are locked iron safes for all such tender secrete, and I will never betrayyours.’ The rich glow overflowed her cheeks once more.• I have n > sweetheart. I love my Hero, because4>e is truly noble and sagacious; bseanse he loves me, and because he ismine—all mine.’ • Truly satisfactory and sufficient reasons. I might ask how be came into your posses­sion, but probably you shrink from divulg­ ing yonr little secret, and I am unwilling to force yonr confidence.’She looked curiously into his face, but the handsome month and chin might have been chiselled in stone, for any visible al­teration in their fixed stern expression, and his piercing black eyes seemed diving into hors through microscopic glasses.1 At least, Regina. I venture the hope that be came properly and hone *lly into yonr heart and bands?*• I hope so too, because yon gave him to mo.' 1 Yes, Sin- You know perfectly well, that you sent him to me.’ • I sent you a dog ? When ? Is heblack, brown, striped, or spotted ?' ‘ Snow-white, aa I you know as well os I do, that yoa asked Mr. Lindsay to bringhim to use, soon after you left mo at ‘ Indeed 1 Was I guilty of so foolish athing ? Did you tbank me for tbe pres­ ent ?’1 I asked dear Mr. Hargrove to toll yoawhen hs wrote, that I was exceedingly grateful for your kindness.’‘ Certainly it appears so. All these yean the dog was not worth even a simple note of thanks ; now al! the banks in Got hamcannot buy him.’TLe chill irony of hi* ton* painfully em­ barrassed her.‘ You positively refuse to sell him to me ?’ • Yes Sir.’‘ Because you love hit* ?’ ' Because I love him more than I can ever make yon comprehend.'' You regard me a* a dullard in compre­ hending canine qualities ?’‘ I did not say so.'‘ Do you really find yourself possessed of any sontimeut of gratitude towards m* ?If so, you will do me a favor ?’ ‘ Certainly—If I can.' ‘ Thank yon. I shall always feel exceed­ingly obliged. Pray do not look *o uneasy, «ud grow so white ; it is a small matter. I gave yon the dog years ago, little dream­ing that I was thereby providing future discord for my own hearthstone. With adegree of flattering delicacy, which I as­sure you I appreciate, you decline to sellwhat was a friendly gift; and now I sim­ply appeal to your generosity, and ask you please to give him back to me.' She recoiled a step, and her fingersclutched each ether. • Oh, Mr. Palma 1 Don’t ask me. Icannot give up my Hero, I would give you anything, everything else that I own.’ ‘ Rash little girl I What else have youto give ? Yourself ?’ He was smiling now, and the nnbending of his lips, and glitter of his remarkablyfine tooth, gave a strange charm to hi* countenance, generally so grave. • You would give yourself away, soonorthan that unlucky dog.' I belong to my mother. But ha belongs to me, and I never, never will part withhim.’ • Jaeta. eet alca !’ muttered the lawyer,still smiling. • Mr. Palms, I hope you will excuse me. It may seem very selfish snd obstinate in me—and perhap* it really is so—bat I can’thelp it. I im so lonely now, and Hero is all that I have 1*R to eomfort aae. Still Iknow a* well a* you or any one else, thatit would be very wrong to force him into a house where dogs are particularly dis­ liked ; and therefore we will annoy bo onehere—we will go away.’ • Will yon ? Where ?' He rose, and they stood ride by side.Her face wore its childish look of patient pain, reminding him of the time when shestood with th* cluster of lilies droopingagainst her heart. He saw that tears had gathered in her eye* rendering them largermore wistful. ‘ I do not knew yet. Anywhere you think best, nntil we can write sad getmoth er’s permission for me to go to her. Wil) yon not please use your influence with her ?’• To send you from tbe shelter cf my roof ? That would be eminently courteous and hospitable on my part. Baside* yourmother does nut want you.’ Observing how sharply the words wound­ed her he added : • I mean, that at present she means to keep you here, because it is best for yonrown intereeta ; and in all that she doo*. I believe yonr fnture welfare ia her chief aim. Yon understand me, do you not ?’• I do not understand why or how it can be best for a poor girt to be reparatod fromher mother, and thrown about the world, hardening straugars. Still, whatever my mother dose, mast ba right.’• Do yon tbmk yoa burden me ?’ • I believe Sir, that you are willing for • Please Mr. Pelm* I send me to a boarding-school; or taka me back to theconvent.* • Never I*He spoke sternly, and his face suddenly hardened, while his fingers tightened over hors, like a glove of steel.• I shall never be contented here,* • It is my house, and in future yon will find no cansa to doubt your welcome,*Sbe know she might as efficaciously appeal to an iron column, and her features settled iqto an expression that could neverhave been called resignation—that plainly meant hopuiess endurance. Sbe attemptedtwice to withdraw her hand, but his clasp lightened. Bonding his haughty Used, bo asked :• Will you be reasonable ?’ A heavy si«h broke over her compressed mouth, and ebe answered in a low, but al­most defiant tone : * ’ * • It seems I cannot help myself.*• Then yield gracefully to Hie inevitable, and you will learn that when struggles end, peace qnickly follows.’Sbe chose nwther to argue nor acquiesce, and slowly shook her head. • Regina.*She merely lifted her eyes. • I want yon to be happy in my homo.* • Tbank you, Sir.*• Don’t speak in that sarcastic manner. It does not sound respectful to one’s guar­ dian.’She was growing paler, and all her old aversion to him was legible in her coun­ tenance.• Let ns. be friends. Try to be a patient, cheerful girl.’• Patient—I will try. Cheerful—nc—no —not here 1 How can I bo happy in this house ? Am I a brute, or a stone ? Oh 1 I wish I could have died with my dear­dear Mr. Hargrove—that calm night when he went to rest for ever, while I sang 1’ One by one the tears stole down herlong lashes, and rolled swiftly down her cheeks. • Will yon tell me the circumstances ofhis death' ?* • Please do not ask m* now. It wouldbring back all the sad things that beganwhen Mr. Lindsay left me. Everything was BO1 bright until then—nntil he went away. Since then, nothing but trouble—trouble.’ A frown clouded the lawyer's brow, then,with a half-smile, h*» asked : • Of the two ministers, whom did you love best ? Mr. Hargrove or the young missionary ?*• I do not know, both were so noble, good and kind; and both are so very dear to me. Mr. Palma, please let go my baud ;you hurt mo.’ ‘ Pardou me I I forgot I held it I' He opened his hands, and looking downat the almost childish fingers, saw that his seal ring had pressed heavily upon, and reddened the soft palm.• 1 did not intend to bruise yon so pain­ fully, bat in some respects you are such a tender little thing, and I am only a harsh,selfish, strong man, and hurt you without knowing it. One word more, before I send 5*ou off to sleep. Olga has the most kindlyways, and really the most affectionate heart under this roof of mine, and site willdo all she can for your comfort and happi­ness. Be respectful to Mrs. Palms, and she shall meet yon half way. This is, as you say, the most al tractive room in thehouse—this is exclusively, and especially mine; but at all times, whether I am absent or present, you must consider your­self thoroughly welcome ; and recollect, all it coutains in the book line, is at yonr ser­ vice. To-morrow I will talk with youabout your studies, and examine you in some of your text-books. Apropos! I take my breakfast alone, before the othermembers of the family are up; and unless you choose to rise early and join m« at Hieseven •'clock table, you need not ba sur­ prised if you do not see me until dinner, which is usually nt half-past six. If yonrequire anything that has not been supplied in your room, do not hesitate to ring and order it. Try to feel al home.*• Thank yon, Sir.’ She moved a few steps, and be added : • Do not imagine that Hero is sufferingall the torments painted in Dante's “ In­ ferno but go to sleep like a good child,and accept my assurance that he is resting quite comfortably. When I came home, I took a light, went ont and examined biskennel ; found him liberally provided with food, wvter, bed—every sccammdation that even your Jog—which all Now York can’tbny—c*>uld possibly wish.

ORME, I am afraid yonwill evertax your strength.You seem to forget the Doc­ tor's cantion.’1 No, I am not in the least fatigued, and this soft, fresh air and sunshine will benefit me more than ail the medicine in your uglyvials. Mrs. Waul, recollect that I have been shut np for two month*, in a close room, and this change is really delicious.' ' Yen have no idea how pale you lock.’•D oi? No wonder, bleached m I have been in a dark house. I daresay yon are tired, and I insist that you sit yonder underthe trees, and rest yourself, while I stroll a little farther. No—keep yonr shawl, throw it around your shoulders, which seem af­flicted with a chronic chill, Hera i* a New York paper ; feast on American news till I come back.’Up m a sent in the garden of the Tuiler­ ies, Mr*. Orme placed her grey-haired Duenna attendant, and gathering her blacklace drapery about her, turned away into one of the broad walk* that divided the flow«r-bordered lawns.Thin, almost emaciated, she appeared far taller than when last she swept across the stage, and having thrown beck her veil,a startling and painful alteration was visi­ ble in the face—that had *e completely captivated fastidious Pari*.Pallid a* Mors, the cheek* had lost their symmetrical oval—were hoHew, and under the sunken ayes dang dusky circle* thatmade them appear unnaturally large, and almost Danteeque in their mournful gleam­ ing. Even tbe lip* seemed shrunken—changed in their classic countour: and the ungloved hand that clasped the told* at lace across her besom, w m WMted, wan,diaphanon*. That brilliant Parisian career, which had opened *o auspiciously, closed summarilyduring the second week of her engagement, in darimase that threatened to prove theuplifting shadow of death. The severe tax upon her emotional nature, the oontinned intense strain on her nerve*, a* night afternigut she played to crowded honsee—shun­ ning, a* if it contained a barilidt, the right of that memorable bo*, where ah* feltrather than saw that a pair of violet eyas steadily watebed her—all this had con­quered even her powerful will—her etara, resolute purpose, and one fatal evening the long-tired woman was irretrievably van- The trembling shadowy voice ceased; the iipe moved to utter the few remaining word*but no sound came. The wide eye* startid blankly at the vast audience, where peopleheld their breath, watching the ghastly livid pallor that actually Battled upon the fuoe of the dying Queen, and in anotherinstant tbe proud lovely head drooped like a broken lily, and she fell forward sense­less.As the curtain was rung hastily down, Mr. Laurence leaned from hie box, and hurled upon the stage a large erewn ofwhite roeear which struck the shoulder of the prostrate figure, and shattering, scat­ tered their snowy petals over the marbleface of golden hair. The enthusiastic acclaim of hundreds of voice* announced tbe triumph of the mag­nificent acting ; but after repeated calls and prolonged applause, during which she lay nooonscioaa, the aadience was briefly in­formed that Madnme Orme wm too ser­ iously indisposed to appear again, and re­ ceive tbe tribute she uad earned at inch afearful cost. Recovering slowly from that long swoon, Sbe was carefully wrapped up, and ledaway, supported by the arm* of Mr. Waul and hi* wife. A* they lifted her into the carriage at the rear entranee of the theatreshe sank hravily back upon the cushions, failing to observe a manly form leaning up against tbe neighboring lamp-post—or torecognize the handsome face where the ga« shone full, lighting up the anxious blueeyr* (hat followed her. For several days she was to languid to move from her couch, where she persistedin reclining, supported by pillows ; still struggling the prostration that hourly in­ creased, and at last the disease asserted itself, fever ensued, bringing unconscious­ness and delirium. Not the scorching violent type that rap­idly consumes the vital fortes, bat a lowtenacious fever that baffled all opposition, snd steadily gained ground, creeping upon the nerve centre, and sapping the founda­tions of life. For many weeks there seemed no hope of rescue, and two physicians distinguishedthe skill and success in their professiea, finally admitted that they were powerless to cope with this typhoid serpent whosetightening folds wore gradually strangling her.

FENCB- VIEWERS A Cbaitly Syitery, From the Napanev Caarer. A scries of mysterious and suspicious circumstances happened on Rohlin’s Hillearly on Friday morning, giving riso to sickening suspicions, which, if verified bytho investigations now in progress, will show that a murder of tho foulest descrip­ tion has proved tho first and startliug ex­ception to tbo immunity from crime which we have enjoyed since the Lizzie Williams cliild murder. Wc urs in full possession ofthe facts as far as developed, but we deem it pcopor, in tho interests of justice, to sup­press tbo names of tho parties involved iuthe matter. There was a young girl living on Roblin's Hill, whoso relations to a cer­ tain young man gave rise to remarksamongst tho neighbors that hinted with more or less boldness nt the existence of a criminal itniuiscy* between inc parties.However, the poor creature has since dis­ appeared under the following circumstanc- sVery early on Friday morning the said yonug man was seen in company with the fell)alo in question near an out-building onRoblin’s Hill by two young lads who were ' abroad early The two i>arties scorned Io ’ bo in a dispute over something. Suddenlythe man seized bis companion by tho hair, and, in spite of her struggles, dragged her bv tho hair into the ontbuildiug. Tho tadsdrew nearer and listened attentively. The sounds of tho struggles suddenly ceased. With tbo boldness of unreasoning youththey stealthily advanced, nnd peeping be­ tween tho boards of the building, saw aghastly spectacle ; upon tho floor lay theunfortunate victim stretched iu death, with tho throat cut from ear to ear, and the au­thor of tho crime standing gloating over bis handiwork, with a smile of fieudish sat­ isfaction oi bis face, the bloody knife i >his hand, still dripping with the gore of his innocent victim. Of enurso they were hor­ rified, and ran awav as fast ns possible, andtold their strange tale to the fiitlior of onoof tho lads, who, after questioning tho lads closely ns to the truth ofthe story, proceed­ed, in about half an hour to the sp >t indi- e.tjd, where ba found all tbo ovidmco< of a desperate struggle.
