These places which are so envious of us will find that it will require something more than the sticking up of a ebinj 1 > with the legend “Chseso Market” painted thereon, and the possession of ono or two one-horse railways in a chronic slate of decline since their opening, to make them a successful rival to Ingersoll in the cheese trade. These atompts nt splitting up the benefits to be derived by the posses­ sion of a cheese market will eventually do more harm than good, aud the sooner a stup is put to it the better.

I’, for South Oxford, had bo far recovered, from bis recent acci­ dent, that ho was able to bo removed from bis temporary quarters in tbo parliament buildings last week. His many Iriends io this vicinity will bo pleased to hear that he is now in a favorable way for a speedy recovery, Canadian manufact urers should bo very particular to put the word Canada on all ar­ ticles manufactured by them. Many of these articles now find their way to foreign countries, nud when tbo name of the postal town with the abbreviation “Out.’’ is only attached, it is difficult for foreigners to make out where the article was manufactured. This suggestion is of importance to Cana­ dian manufacturers aud to Canadian inter­ ests in general. Mr. J. M. Currier, M. P. for Ottawa, re­ signed bis seat on Monday. Ho did so per­ sonally is well as reading his written resig­ nation. Cheer upon cheer went up from the Opposition aud when Mr. Alphouso Wright in an incisive and eloquent speech, con­ demned the Government for having cruelly persecuted one who was unaware that they were patronizing his firm, both the Minis­ ter of Justice and Mr. Mackenzie appeared to very great disadvantage. Mr. Courier’s resignation is hailed with satisfaction by his constiaants, who will re-elect him by a very large majority. Mr. Robert Laidlaw, President of the Credit Valley Railway is to "be in town this evening, and at bis reqnest a special meet­ ing of tbo Town Council has been called, for the purpose of conferring with him touching matters connected with the Credit Valley Railway. This looks something like business and we shall hope to seo some steps taken whereby operations tnajr be commenced at this end of the line. Now that the Groat Western has secured the controlling interest in the Brautford, Nor­ folk and Port Burwell Railway, and tbo Southern is thus cut out from the use of that liue, it may bo found that it will be to the interest vf the Credit Valley Railway to push forward the Western terminus to completion as soon as possible. Should this be the case we should bail the move with pleasure as it would give Ingersoll a connecting link at Woodstock via the Stratford and Port Dover Railway, with the Grand Trunk to the north and the Southern to tbo south of us, which would give us a competition iu freights which is desirable. Mr. Joseph Davidson, in a letter ad­ dressed to the Mail, tries to make out that bo did not receive any more aud in fact □ot quite the full value of the lots sold by him to the Government for the terminus of the Pacific Railway on the Kaministiquia. Well, perhaps not, to bis tuiad’s ’eyo they might have been worth a great deal more. Four years ago he paid nt the rate of 14 per lot for what be now gets from 1250 to 1500 per lot. That is too email a profit for such grasping meu as Mr. Davidson and the like. It ia too bad that the Goverment should have deprived them of such valuable property. But what puzzles ns, with many other people, is why the Government want­ ed these prrticular lota 7 Why did they not go a short distauce above or a short distance below the Fort William town plot? The " town " is very little wore than a town on paper aud if the Government had a desire to economize instead of making a a haul for their political supporters they could have purchased land enough for their purpose, and which would have eerved equally as Well, for one tenth of tbo sum paid to those speculators. The whole job ia too transparent to bo glossed over by the trumpery letter of Mr. Joseph Davidson, and tbs people of this neighborhood know somsthing about tbs Fort William tranaac- tions and are not to bo Minded by ouch ehafT. __________________ Anot her Cheese Market is to bs at­ tempted to ba formed in the village ot Nor- wfob. We should think it was lime fa> terymsn had learned that these efforts to destroy er impair th* utility of th* Inger­ soll Chose* Market were futile. Several such attempt* have already been made end have foiled moat signally. The two inula points foe theae marksfo in the West, era peninsnla of Ontario at* Ingarwll and Stratford. At tlMM large gaihariags nf rons*q WW«, th* results tempted in Nerwicb, Woodstock, end other Dairt men will notice that in another column of this issue wc print the full tert of the clauses of the Agricultural and Arts Bill in reference to Dairymen’s Associa­ tions, as amended at the last session of the Ontario Legislature. We would urge upon them lo make a careful study of the new law in the matter. There are one or two points to which wo will hero refer which should engage their especial attention. First, that tbo first meeting of the Western Association will bo held at Ingersoll, ou Wednesday the 2nd of May next By ad­ vertisement it will bo seen that the Secretary has called tbo meeting lo take place at the Council Chamber hero nt ono o’clock on that day. Second, at that meet­ ing it will bo necessary to elect officers according to the provisions of the uew Act. Third, that members will bo required to pay their membership before ouo o'clock on that day or they will not be qualified to vote iu tho election for officers and direc­ tors. These aro matters which should not bo lost sight of. The officers are to consist of a President and two Vice-Prosidouts, who may be elected from any of tlio agri­ cultural divisions over which the Western Association has jurisdiction. The seven Directors must consist of ono from each division. These Officers and Directors are empowered to elect a Secretary and Treasurer and to fix tbo place for holding the Annual Convention and Cheese aud Butter Fair. We shall bo glad to see a good attendance at the first meeting, and wo would urge upon dairymen to do all in their power to make the representation as full as possible. Wo might farther state that it will require 83 members to form the Association, and 100 members to draw tho Government grant of $1,000. Now, os the lost Convention was held at Belleville wo fear that there was not nearly tbo requisite number of members enrolled from the Western Section, so if it lb intended to carry on tlio Association and procure tho grant at least from 80 to 100 members from tho Western Division will havo to bo enrolled previous to 1 o’clock on the 2nd of May. PUBLIC LIBRARY. To the Editor of the Oxlard Tribune. Will you allow Betsy space in your journal to make her small speech to the intelligent people of Ingersoll I have waited long, if not patiently, hoping that some of the “Lords of Creation” wo all mount the bras I platform of social reform and advocate the rights of the people of this town to a public library ; bat vain hope, they havo, as usual, left it to woman’s ingenuity to devise some means whereby the eril may be remedied. Although I do not believe in this “woman's rights’’ movement which has been, and is still, agitat­ ing our American cousins, yet I do believe in and ask for her rights intelle.-tually. But here in this town, in the very midst of plentj, we are allowed to starve for want of mental food, for what reason, that alone that wc cannot afford to gratify our taste for good literature. Is it not a disgraceful state of affairs, when it can bo said, as it can, of tho town of Inger- soil, containing 6,090 innabitaute, that ib has not a lending library. When, if the people will but raise *100, the Government will double that amount. Methinks I hear some of our townspeople saying, " too hard times,” “too poor” io think of entering into such an enterprise at present. Hard times,” “ too poor," shame on our town. A stronger com- ing here, tho first thing that attracts his attention is the number of grand houses, fine carriages and stylishly dressed people, and after seeing all these, if we told him that wo could not afford a library, ho would laugh at such an absurd Idea, When there is notone place where the young of either sox can go and got a book, Spending an hour in the per­ usal of it, what wonder, 1 ask. is it that wj find our young men loafing around hotels or reeling down the streets in a beastly state of intoxication. The billiard room has its at­ tractions and in the hotels they find company. They seek these resorts not because thei*- de­ sires lead them there but, in many cases, becauso they are lonely, and iu these places they at least for the time being, have a passing pleasure. Says one, " Wo can buy a glass of whiskey for five vents but we cannot procure a book for thet amount, so we just go where we can get the most enjoyment for the least money." Ob ! father*, mothers, are our young men, yea, and maidens, going to be made by our the example that ia now before them, going to be taught that knowledge of book* and authem going to de educated to the idea that it they in the path* of gilded pleasure* Chet thia is before thorn auto sdvautagss that n»y lead pat my toot in a good library rad taelen the those vtos* of which idleness ia the mother ri WASHULTOY LETTEB. (From our ftejiwu CorrMpendent.) April 4.—Like all temstial and infernal localities, (no profanity intended, I use infer­ nal in a strictly etymological sense) the national capital has it* advantages and disad­ vantages, its drawbacks, and pall-backs, and pin-backs, a* well as statesmen, generals, and judges, who exhibit their metaphorical reverses continually. Just at present wo are suffering from the physical and p«ychologtcal influence, I had almost said influenza, of Ohio. Since the completion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, that prolific mother of radical mediocrity hu been encroaching upon us, until she is ns prevalent as tho itch in a regiment of Home Guards. Private Dalzell came from Ohio, so did Grant, and Garfield, the par nol/ile fratrum who hold respectively the sword and the purse, the chief justice, whoso head Vinnic Riam modeled at a chnrch festival, (great attraction admission only fifty cents) Ox-Covcrnor Hayes, and the immortal J. N. These all come originally from Obi*, just as rate come originally from Norway, and wo wish they had originally staid there. It i* not material to the issne that your correspondent should commit himself to the proposition that intellectual medocrity, as illustrated in Hayes and Garfield, or mental alierration, as seen in tho immortal J. N. and Gen. Sherman are confined within the gcograpical boundaries of Ohio. Booth, of California, Mitchell, of Oregon, Boutwell aixl Dawes aud Zach- Chandler arc, I believe, not from Ohio. But if the depletion of that state steadily goes on what will become of tho third common wealth of tho Union, and when will there be room in the district ? The question of the removal of tho National Capital to Columbus has not been recently agitated, but a majority of the American people voted no more for the removal of the Capital to Ohio, than they did fir tbo removal of Ohio’s Governor to tho White House. Yet one re­ moval has been accomplished, why should wj be surprised at the other, or at anything ? Among tbo disadvaatages of Washington is its malaria, it is the moral aud* physical trrlinaf/ertium of the Western hemisphere. It is the stagnant mean between the North and South. The air is poisoned by the festering detritces of the Potomac, along the Western and Southern front; by imperfect sewerago, and by tho ligncoui gun emping from miles of rottiqg wood.pavement. If the father of his country selected this plaeo as a pestilent trap to “take off’ politicians then ho iu nt be credited with g-».luesi equal to his genial. But some imyravemrati in transportation an.l (he pharmacopca have enabled the miro wealthy to counteract the influence of poison­ ous gases. Gen. Grant had the best of health; he fought tho exhalations frutn the swamp ba low the White House ]with go».l old rya whiskey, and when fighting on -that line all ’urntner, ’become monotonous, hi tJik the whiskey to Long Branch. But it is not in the power of every man and. his wife t> frisk about like a president, and those who hive not beer, acclimated may generally be knwa by their sallow complexions and “the dejacted hnvior of the visage." To breathe tho air even of a city like Philadelphia, acts upon a Washingtonian like a tonic. The Capital ought to bo removed, but little has been said about it of kite, but it will be easier and less expensive to remove tho seat of govern- ,ment to a healthful locality, then to make a sink so ill-favored of nature sanitarily tolerable. Sutne years ago when the removal was talked of, local property owners formed a ring and conspired with members and 8ousters (many of whom were the owners of real estate) aud commenced im­ provements on an immense scale. They said, "let us have a capital worthy of this great nation." The street* were dwg up an I covered with poultices of stinking pitch, or corduroyed with rotten pine blocks, public edifices, and palatial private residence* of the servants of the people, went up like exhalations out in the unimproved commons, but paved street* and wide side walk* swept out to tho private residence* and doubled and quadrupled their value. There was nothing wrong in this. Oh ! no. A shyster by the n ime of Garfield got an immense fee for writing a brief for a contractor. Why should ho vote against an appropriation ? Tho paid attorney* of the ring wore in tho House, in tho Senate, it is believed, in tho Execution Mansion. Wash­ ington a* the capital it was thought had taken deeper root, but then there was a safe burglary, that explosion loosened tho root* a little, and now, when pitch pavements havo melted, and wood pavements hat* rotted, would it not be s good time to uproot aud transplant tho capital learning the fine property of Sherman and Garfield on Franklin Park for tho specu- lation of the curious New Zealander. Thoro houses will never rival in tho ruin the reputa­ tion of their builder*. 0. A. 8. HEW PIBLIC1T1O1S. SIMPLE EXCE8CIBE3 IN MENSURATION Br Joes■ Itasaar Sxxosm, M A., M D.

IrecM Fodder. IcliarxAjt METHOD OF FRCUMVlNa AND TEKD- ■>, • IXO TO STOCK. Methods of feeding or preparing food for stack, by which any considerable expense may .bo saved over the ordinary practice, muaS be ef interest to those who are seeking economy in this departmeat of fanning. Economy dnes not consist in starving cattlo any more than in starving tho land. Animals must bo full fed in order to obtain from them the boat Koults, but it doos not follow from this that the most expensive food is always ths beet. What every fanner who keeps stock desires to learn is in what manner stock is to be well kept, both as to health and con­ dition, and st the sama time at the cheapest rates ; and in what manner can a given amount largest number of cattle. These questions sue studied more iu Europe than with us, but as land increases, more and more in value in this country, methods of feeding must be adopted more economical than upon ch'ap lands. Of late, foreign journals are urgii g the advantages of feeding what is termed "sour forage" to atock. In other w:rds tl o stalks of Indian corn, the straw of cereals, pnd other forage material, are fermented in pita, and when cured in this way the fodder is said to be extremely palatable to stock, and is commending itself on account of the profits which it insures. This kind ot food has not only become quite popular in France, but is in use in Germany, Austria and Hungary, by the atock growers of those countries. Indian com is sowed broadcast or in drills, similar to our method of raising fodder com, Ond is harvested in its green state. It is then Buried in pits, and thus preserved for the winter feeding of farm animals. In the Re. port of tho Department of Agriculture for 1875, wo find an interesting article on the subject, it being a resume or recapitulation of the plan, ax obtained from foreign source, and wo shall briefly refer to some of the lead­ ing points presented. Tho process of storing green maize in the sod is described by .M. Rcihlcn, in the Journal Pratique of Nov. 23, 1873, in answer to the request of leading French agricul­ turists : The cs wntial features of the process embrace a ditch 5 feet deep and 12 J feet wile at the top, sloping to ten feet at the bottom. The maize cut green is allowed to dry for two or throe days in tbo hot snn, and then is cloiely packed in parallel layers great care being fa’ o i to coirpress them within the smallest possible rpace, and to exclude the atmosphere entirely The fodder i» piled in a pyramidal ridge, about eight feet abovo the surface of the ground, and covered with three feet of earth, by tho weight of which, supplemented by the trampl­ ing of botvM and cart wheels the whole mat­ ter is Compressed nearly within tho trench. M. Redden regards the trampling os unneo s- rarij, as during a single night the fodder by its own weight, sinks three feet; the three feet of soil then supplies all tho needed pres­ sure. It was to meet the pressure that the sites of tho pit ware made oblique. For sev­ eral days after cdvcriSg, the irregular sinking of the mass will cause the superincumbent earth to break into fissures, which must be carefully filled.op-" M. Crerat, after scvcial yean of experi­ ment, has found reason to deepen the trenches Ind to contract their width, in order to Itssen the expense of covering with earth. M. Goffurt mixes straw and chaff with the green fodder, in order to absorb the watery element and this is found to bs an improve­ ment; and he finds that bis preserve 1 fodder is sufficient, without any other food, to keep his animals ir. fine condition. According to results obtained by German agricultural stations, it is stated that maize fodder (green) has a feed value equal to 22 per-cent, of that of hay; rye fodder, 38 per cent; grass, ’ grnon, 31 per cent ; wheat Countries found it -here a hundred and fifty yean ago. It appears to have become quite abundant in the eastern Middle States during . the last century, for in a paper by William Bartram, read July 14th 1789, before tbo (Philadelphia Agricultural Society, we learn (that this peat was so abundant in New Jencyand Pennsylvania, that "scarcely one pea in ! a thousand escaped its attacks." But it was also noticed by Mr. Bartram that the larva or grub; while eating out a hole in a pea, largo .enough for its own convenience, and that of the beetle into which it would eventually be transformed, seldom touched the germ or undeveloped - plnmula. Hence tho peas that wore infested grew almost as freely aud vigorously as those that were not. The tame writer also observed that after the Introduction of the foreign varcitics of tho pea, this insect abandoned the native peas, which must previously have been its tood, and con­ fined its ravages to the imported sorts, there by exhibiting a discriminating taste, os many other beetles have done at tho expense of tho farmer. Tho Colorado Potato Beetle is one of the latest instances of an insect abandoning its normal food-plant for another belonging to the same genus, or ono closely allied to it. But this pea-weevil has become so abundant jhnt most of our seed peas are either imported from Europe or eiftnc few northern localities, where pea-weevil tras not os yet made its ap­ pearance. Although, as wo hare said, the grubs iu the peas seldom destroy the germ, still fre tn king experience it has been found that the infested peas do not grow as vigour- ously and freely as sound seed, notwitlistand- ng what has been claimed to the contra1-}-. Moreover, forme-s anil gardeners have no de* sire to perpetuate and increase the numl er o such pesto on their premises. Tho female Brucbus deposits her eggs on the*young pods of the pea while growing in the garden, end tho young grubs penctrats the pod and enter the pea, but the hole made being quite small it readily closes up bc- hiu I them, leaving a mark Scarcely to be seen by the unass s ed eye. In gathering the green peas for tho tabic, no one thinks of •q -king fur weevil grebe, and few would find them if they did ; Lut they nrc there, never the less, and arc eatcu with the peas through­ out the icason, .without injury to the partaker of such delicate morsels. The peas left for seed grow to full size, and so do the grubs within thorn ; and iu due tin.e these undergo their various transformations, and towards Spring, if one of tho infestol seeds is cut open a full-grown weevil will be jO.ind, reaily to emerge when tbo warm weather of spring bills it to come ferth. In a good forage ration fora milch cow, tho ratio of nitrogenous to non-nitrogeuous matter should bo as 1 to 5, or as 1 to 4 j. Maize forage, catgreen, does not meet this requirement, as it tJhowam proportion of 1 to 9.24. The maize, however, preserved with a mixture of straw, approximates the stxndar-L showing a pro­ portion of 1 to 4.81. Its increased per cent of fatty matter represents also a great advan­ tage, being six times greater than in the green maiie.In Franco it is anVcipatoJ, when this method of preserving fodder shall be thorough, ly and practically unde re taxi that the pro­ duce of one awe of 1 m l will be sufficient for the keep of two head of cattle. The method, it is stated, has been employ­ ed-in Hungary fur seventy yeara, anl iu Ge'many for ten yean. Supplementary coverings of straw or ot timber sheds were formerly used, but have been discontinued as unnecessary. In some cases the sides of the }isareneatly lined with brick-or stone.

Our fannars ere waking up to real’xe the foot that tit w average horse of thia secti ju of Ontario is too light for the purpose. The teedmey for some time haa been no much in the direction of light animals that few 1 ones adapted for heavy work are being pnrrhased in this section for export, and indeed t ntil the stock among fanners increase', it will be a misfortune to see the few that are among us taken away. The Canadian Oenlleman’s Jour­ nal quotes from a latter written by an English horse dealer who waa out here last summer, aud who, in alluding to the stallion best to use, says “ Be careful to keep from any­ thing appertaining to the cart horse, or the horses called in Canada general purpose, by using which of late you have already nearly ruined the breed of horses iuCanada." Every fanner should read this caution and profit by it. A new and profitable market is open to Canadian brccdin if they will only svoid the temptation of patronising the first brute that is brought to their gate. “ General purpose horses are confessedly nondescript mongrel* that no brooder ought to encourage and no showyard can classify. Reserve prize money and covering fees for the best animals of an acknowledged breed, thoroughbred, hunter, Clyde, Cleveland, Percheron or Suffolk ; and the right sort will very soon be acquired by our ambitious stockmen. business dTnrbs.

Say, found a small weevil in tho seed of an 3 ■ogalue, growu near his nnidenco in the State of Indianx This beetle ho described under the name of Bruck* ohsoletut. The specific name was probably bestowed on it on account of .the variableness of the markings oi tho wing covers (elytra), as wo gather M-. from Say’s description. He says : —-"Die wliitisb, cinereous markings are not very striking ; on the elytra they may sometimes be traced into two obsolete macular binds,” A few years since we bega-i to bear complaints of the ravages of a bean weevil in the Middle States, and it appeared to be close­ ly allied to our old acquaintance, the pea weevil, but with a very marked difference in its habit; for while tho female of the pea­ weevil never seldom depos:t3 more than one egg to each iced, this bean weevil lays from ten to twenty or more to each, and it is nothing unusual to find twenty full-grown beetles in a single good-sized bean, in Spring. Upon submitting this insect to our best cole- opterista, they decided that it was the old B. obeoletun ot Say, which had taken to tho com­ mon, cultivated bean, and perhaps entirety deserted its native food-plant, tbo Astragalus or veitch. U0WT0 GET HID OT THEM. This is a question which has puzzled t’l® farmers and seedsmen generally, and although many different methods of destruction have been recommended, still tho weevils appear to increase, probably liecauso eo few try sys­ tematically to destroy them. Both peas and beans when infested with weevils,’ should be packed in air-tight vessels as soon ns gathered, and well dried in au­ tumn, and at tbe »amoj time gum camphor liberally sprinkled iu among them. Tbo fumes of tho camphor will kill every weevil which happens to appear during tbe winter, and some of our seedsmen say that it pene­ trates the seeds, killing the larva witbin. Benzine, sulphur, cyanide of potassa, and other offensive and'poisonous substances may bo employed, where tbo beans and peas are to be used only for seed, but it will not do if they are kept for other uses. Heating the seed is also recommended for killing the grubs but considerable cars is required to prevent injuring tho vitality of tbe germs, while tho temperature is still high enough to kill the insects. But ersry man should avoid sowing infi st- ed seed, and if all would do this there might be some chance of reducing the numbers of these pests, e < cn if they were not all destroyed No. 4 BuHindi-st,, Boston, (Oppo -llc Rrvere House.)

Take of quick or nn- slacked lime 4 parts, and of common flour of sulphur one part (4 pounds of sulphur to 1 peck of lime); break up tho limo in small bits, than mixing the sulphur with it in a light vessel (iron best), pour boiling water to slake the lime to a powder; cover iu the vessel close as soon as the water is poured on ; this makes also a most < xce'lent white­ wash for trees, aud is very useful as pre­ ventive of blight on pear-trees to cover wounds in the form of a paste when cutting diseased parts; also for coating ths trews in April. It may bo considered as tho one specific forinany noxious insects and mil­ dew in the orchard and nursery ; its h i - tsrials should always bo ready at hand ; it should bo used quite frosh, as it would in lime become sulphate of lime, and so lose its potency.

Near (be carriage stood a boy apparently aboutleu years old, who, with a small walking- stick, was maliciously pushing the dainty millinery bubble as fiu: beyond reach aspoos b’e/- - In tba carriage, and partly covered by a costly anl ibrilliaut afghan, reclined aforlorn aid truly pitiable creature, who seemed tahavo sunk down helplessly on the cualqons. Although her age was sevenyears, the mrl’e face really appeared much old r, and in its shrunken, sallow, pinched aspect indicated lifelong suffering.The sliort thin dark bair was dry andharsh, lacking the silken gloss that belongs 1<> childhood, and the complexion a sicklyyellowish pallor. Her brilliant eyre were black, largei and prominent, and across her upperlip ran a diagonal scar, occasion­ally seea ln there s? afflicted as to require the merciftii knife of a skilful surgeon to aid in shaping the mouth.The unfortunate victim of physical de­formity, increased by a fall which prevent­ ed the possibility of Tier ever beiug able to Walk, nature had with unusual malignitystamped Ti< r with a feebleness of intellect that at Hmes bordered almost on im­becility, - Temporarily descried by her nurse, thepoor little creature was arying bitterly oyer the fate of her hat. Walking up be­hind the boy, who was too much engrossed by his , mischievous sport to observe her appioaeb, Mrs. Orme seized bis arms.• You wicked boy 1 How can you bn so cruel as to torment that afflicted child ?’ Taking his pretty mother-of-pearl-headedcane, she tried to touched the hat, but it was just beyond her reach, and resolved to rescue it, she fastened the cane to thehaiitlle of her parasol, using her handker­ chief to bind them together. Thus elon­ gated it sufficed to draw the hat to themargin, and rnisiug it, she ehook out the • waler, and hung die dripping bit of finery ;upon one of the handles of the Carriage.* Give me my walking-stick,’ said theImy, whose pronunciation prochiime^bim ‘ thoroughly English. * No, Sir. I intend to punish you for 1 eruelty. You tyrannized over that helpless 'little girl, because you were the strongest. ' I think I have morestrength than yon, and I yon shall feel ho* pleasant such conduct is.’ 1Untying the cane,- she raised it in the i air, nnd threw it with all the force she < could command into the middle ef the f I I ’Now, if you want it, wndo in with your Inert boots and Sunday clothes and get it ;and g.» homo and tell your parents, if you have any, that you are a bad, mde, ugly- Itehaved boy. When you need your toy,think of that hit.’The cane had sunk instantly, and. with a sullen scowl of rage at her, and n grimacent the occupant of the carriage, the boywalked sulkily away. With her handkerchief, Mrs. Orme wiped off the water thnt adhered to the hatsqueezed and shook out the ribbons and laid it upon the alghan, in reach of the fingers that more nearly resembled clawsthan the digits of a human hand. •• Don’t cry dear. It will soon drynow.” The solemn black eyes still glistening with tears, stared up at her and impelled by that peculiar pitying tenderness lhat hoversin the hearts of all mothers, Mr*. Orme Itent down aud gently smoothed tbo elfish locks around the sallow forehead.*‘ Has your nurse mil away and left yon ? Don’t be afraid ; nothing shall tronble^on. I will stay with you till she comes buck.*•Hdlenneis gone to buy candy,’ said the dwarf, timidly. ‘My dear, what is your name ?’•MundAtoes Laurence.’ The stranger had compnsMonately taken, • one nf the thin bands in her own, buttbrow­ing it from her as if it had been a serpent,she recoiled, involuntarily pushing the csr- riage from its res'ing-p)ace. It rolled a fewsteps and slopped, while she stood shud­ dering. Her first impulse was io hurry sway fth< second was more feminine in its prompting*, and oauqnercd. Onto moreshe niquraached the unfortunate child, and scrutinized her with eyes that gradually kindled into a blaze. She bore in no respect the faintest resem-1 lance to her father, but Mr*. Orme fanci'd she frated the image of the large-featnrod bold-eyrd mother; and as she eontrasteH(bis feeble deformed creature with tho re- sneml>ered face and figare ot her own lean- iifnl darling girl, a bitter but intensely tri­umphant laugh broke suddenly on the air. * Maud Ames Laurence 1 A proud nametruly—and royally you grace it I Ah, Ne-tneaii!—Christianity would hunt yon down os a pagan myth—but all honor— g'ory to you, incorruptible pitiless Avenger 1 Ac­cept my homage ; repay my wrongf—and then demand in sacrificial tribute what you will—though it were my heart’s best blood 1Aba! will sire lend lustre to the family wama?

Only help me to get homo.'| Screened both by Velh and parasols, the [ two bad'-almoot gained the street, when . they met a trio of gentlemen.One asked iu unmistakable New England English : , ‘ L laranco, where is your father ?’, An J a voice whieh had once epitomized for Minnie Merle the ” music of thespheres, ’ answered in mollow*\ones : “ He has been in L mdon, but goes very . soon to Italy.’ Mrs. Waul felt a trembling hand laid onher arm and turned anxiously to her com­ panion.‘ Give me time. My strength fails me.1 can’t walk so fast.' Tha excitement of an hour hod over­thrown the alow work of weeks; aud after many days the physicians peremptorily ordered her away from Paris.• Home I let us go home. Yon have not been yourself since we reached this city. In Now York you will get strong.’As Mrs. Waul spoke she stroked one of the invalid's thin hands, that hung listless­ ly over the aide of the s.ifr. * I think Phcebe is right. America wouldcure you,' added the grey-haired man, whoso heart was yenruing for his native land.Alluring, seductive as the Siren songthat floated across the Sicilian waves, was tho memory of her fair yonug daughter, tothis suffering weary mother; and at thethought of clasping Regina in her arms— of feeling her tender velvet lips once more on her cheek—the lonely heart of thedesolate woman throbbed fiercely. Her sands of life seemed ebbing fast, the •nd might not bo distant; who could toll ?Why not go back—give up the chase for theempty shadow of a name—gather her baby to hor bosom, and die ; finding under anhumble cenotaph tho peace that this world denied her? Au intolerable yearning for the sight ofher cUihl, for tire sound of her voice,broke over her like some irresistible wave bearing away tho vehement protests ofpolicy—tho sterner barriers of vindictive purpose—and, with a long shivering moan, ; she clasped her bands and shut her eyes.Impatiently, the old man and his wife watched her countenance, confident that : the decision would not long be delayed,trusting that the result would bo a ccm- pliance with Hieir wishes. But hope began ito fade as they noticed the gradual com­ pression of her pale sorrowful mouth—the : slow gathering of the brows thnt met in aheavy frown—tbo tightening of the clench- i cd fingers—the greyish shadow thnt aettlcd down on tho faco where renunciation wasvery legibly written. The temptation hail been fierce, but she put it aside, after I bitter struggles to bush tho wail of imaternal longing; nnd before she spoke, the two friends looked at «aoh other and isighed. | Lifting her marble eyelids thnt seemed < so heavy with their sweeping brown lashes, i the invalid raised herself on one elbow, aud isaid, mournfully: 1 * Not yet—oh I not yet. I cannot give up the fight without one more struggle,even if it should prove.that of death to me. (I must not return to America until I win ] what I camo for; I will not. But myfriends—for such I consider you, such you ihave proved—I will not selfishly prolong your exile; will not exact the sacrifice of ]your dearest wishes. Go back home at ‘ ouce, and enjoy in peace the old age that deserves to bo so happy. I am going toItaly, hoping to regain my health—p >ssi- bly to tlie ; but still I shall go. How loug I shall be detained, I know not, but mean­while you shall return to those you love, ‘ Idle words—all idle Words ; not Worth the waste of your breath. Phoebe and Iare homesick—we do not deny it, and wo are sorry you can't see things as we do; but since that night when I stumbled overyou in the snow, and carried you to my own hearth—you have been to Phoebe and me—as the child we lost; aud unl< si youare readv to go home with us, we stay h<-re.

It is traditional, that while in my nurse'sarms I perronned miracles of melody such as Auld Lang Syne, with one liill > finger ; but such undue precocity,mvdly stimulatedby ambitious Mamma and nurse Nell, re­ sulted fatally, in the total destruction of my marvellous talent, which died of coi e-bo-musical excitement when confronted with the gamut. Except as the languagein which Strauss appeals to tny waltzinggenius, I have no more use for it, than for* anoient Aztec.

I am confident the soul of Zeuxis sleeps iu mine, but before the ukase ot thePalma’s, a stouter than Zeuxis would quail,lie tow, be silent. Hence I am a young miss who has no talent, except for appre­ ciating Balzac, caramels, Diavolini—van-illesouffle—lobster-sroqueltes, and Strauss' waltzes; though envious people do say that I have a decided genius for ‘malaproposhistoric quotations,* which you know are regarded as unpardonable offences by those who cannot comprehend them. Come hereSt. John and let mo rub your fur tbo wrong way. The world will do it roughly if you survive tender kittenhood, nnd it Ismerciful to initiate you early, and by de­grees.’ She took up a young black cat, that wascurled comfortably oh the skirt of her dress and stroking him softly, resumed her book. Mrs. Palma compressed her lips, knittedher heavy brows, and turned tho silk snsh to tho light to observe tho cfitoct of the sil­ ver snow-drops she was embroidering.Daring her residence under the same roof. Regina had became accustomed to these verbal tournaments between motheraud daughter, and having been kept in ig­ norance of the ground of Olga's grievance,alia could not understand allusions thatwere frequently made iu her presence, aud which never failed to irritate Mrs. Palma. Desirous of diverting the conversationfrom a topic that threatened renewed tilts she said timidly :• You do not iu the least assist me, withreference to my music. Would you object to baring a hired piano in the house ? 1could have it placed in my room, and then my practising in the middle of the day, or in the evening, would never bo interfered with, and you could nave your morning nap.’• Indeed, Miss Orme—a very good sug­ gestion ; a capital idea.

In iin tat'.oi of Da Vinci s celebrated picture in the L >nvre, the background represented a s'retch ofarid rocky landscape, unrelieved by foliage and against it rose in pnse and generaloutline, the counterpart of “La Joconde."The dress and drapsry wore ot black vel­ vet, utterly bare of ornament, and out of tbo canvas looked a face of marvellous, yetmournful beauty. The countenance of a c-mpara irely young woman, who eradi nbrown eyes had dwelt iu some pen t ale o'woe, until their light waa sottooe'’, sm * dened ; whose regular features were stat­uesque in their solemn repose, and whosegold-tinted hair simply parted ou her white round brow, fell io glinting waves downupon her polished shoulders. The mysti­ cal palo face of one who seemed alike in­ capable of hope or of regret, who gazed up-o i past, present, fn ure, as proud, ai pnt-sioulessand calm as Dustiny ; and whose perfect baatU were folded iu stern frateful rest. As Regina looked up at it, she stoopedthen ran to the hearth, and stood with hereyes rivited to the canvas, hor lips pat ted and quivering. Watching her, Mr. Palma camo to herside and asked : • Whom can it be ?’ Evidently she did not hear him. Herwhole heart and soul appsared emtred in the picture, but as sin g ized, hi r own olo- quint face grew whiter—she drew herbreath quickly, nnd tiara rolled over her cheeks, as she lifted her arms towards thepainting.‘Mother!

Mr. Puima drew her back, and saidqueitly ; ‘ Fornn uncultivated yeung rustic I must say your appreci .tion of fine paintingis rather surprising.

Her eyes fell upon • La Joconde," thenwandered back to the portrait over the fire­ place, and through her tears broke a ra* diant smile.* Yes, Sir, I perfectly understand.

Oh I Your Da Vinci never even dreamed of, much less painted, anything half so heavenly as my darling mother sface !’ Closing the book, Mr. Palma threw it on the table, and as ha glanced from thelovely countenance of the girl, to that of the woman on the wall, something like n sigh heaved his broad chest. Did the wan meek shadow of his ownpatient much suffering young mother, lift her melancholy imago in the long silentadylum of his proud heart, over whosechill chambers ambition and selfishness had passed with ossifying touch ?Years ago, at the initial steps of his pro­ fessional career, he had set before him one glittering goal—The Chief-Justiceship. Iupreparing for the long race that stretchedahead of him—seeing only the Judicial crown that sparkled afar off, he had laidaside his tender sensibilities, bis warmestimpulses of affection and generosity u so many subtle fetters, so much unprofitable luggage, so much usslesi Weight to retardand burden him. While bis physical and mental develop­ ment bad brilliantly attested the efficacy ofthe stern regimen ha systematically im­posed, his emotional nature long d’scarded had grown so feeble and inane from desue­tude, that its very existence had become jwvble mat teal.

Mr. Choato had been snfforing for some time past and although ho had once or twice rallied, nod it was thought he would recover hi* usual health snl vigor, yet early lavt ws*k ho became worse and ou Sunday last succumbed to tho disease, whuh seemed to have taken deep root upon his constitution. Mr. Jacob Choato is one of tho eldest settlers in this part of Ontario, having set­ tled upon tho farm, on which he has since lived and whore ho breathe.! his last, in tho year 1835. At that time Ingersoll was but a very small village, and the farm upon which ho located, and in fact tho whole neighborhood, was a deuso forest. Ho was one of tho elder sons of tho family of Mr. Thoma? C-iiate, who camo to Can­ ada from E ifiald, in tho State of New Hampshire, in 1796, and settled in tho Township of Glanford, where ho was blessed with a large family of fifteen chil­ dren, eight sone and four daughters o. whom lived to years of maturity, bis* father was one of those truly loyal subjects who left the nowly.formed United States because of his preference for the British form of Government to tho new Republic across tho border. During his life, which was a long one, having lived to the good old ago of 8G, he endured tho hardships, and was connected with many of tho events which nro memorable in tho early history of Canada. He was a volunteer in the war of 1812, when his eon Jacob, tbe sub­ jet.1 of tl>>» notice, was only one year old. Ho iVn8^*' th® battles of Lundy’s Lane and Queei^ton .Heights, and was witbin three rods of Gen. Bro* wbcn b® Wl- Mr. Jacob Choato wa* bora in ’811, and wns 21 years of ago when he came’ tbe County of Oxford i i 1835. Like his fath?r> he had strong reverence for tho British Crown and took1 an acliv* part in putting down the rebellion of 1837. There aro but few of his companions of that eventful period still living, and only a short time before his death ho took occasion to enum­ erate some of those who still survive. Tho family have an extensive connection, both in this and the old county. Of his immed­ iate relatives in this neighborhood he leaves two sons and five daughters, and he has survived bi* wife only about six months, she having died last October. Messrs. Nathan and John Choate, who reside near Ingersoll, aro hie brothers. Mr. Choate and hie family have always been highly respseted by all who knew them, and the survivors have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereave­ ment. The funeral procession, which accompanied the remains to their laat rest­ ing place, yesterday, wa* one the largest which ho* been seen in Ingersoll for some time. A little son of Adam Oliver, Esq., aged between four and five years,was missed from home yesterday about four o’clock, and search was made, but without success. At twenty minutes to nine last evening the town bell was rang and afterwards tho fire alarm sounded, which brought out the firemen and townspeople, and mom efficient search was made. In a very short time the sad newt was proclaimed that the little unfertunato wn* found deadin letwoeu the logs nrar the mill. Little Falls Chetse Harkct. Littl e Fal ls, N. Y., April 16.

To advocate the Independence of Parlia­ ment, Mr. Spoaker. bos been the proudest occupation of my parliamentary career.What member but can recall my repeated attacks on tho so-called administration of Cartier an<l Sir John, that nest of corrup­tion and hotbed of jobbery ? How fer­ vently then did I denonnee the idea—the thought—the possibility of purity combine ! with parliamentary contract accepting.And still do I denounce it—most decidedly and mort unsparingly—;n tho abstract. Inthe abstract. Sir. the acceptance of a con­ tract by a member is a corrupt and shame, hi! piece of infamy which howls to the skies for punishment, which demands Um»vehement and trebly earnest opposition and reprobation of nil prtriotio Canadians, nnd the undyingnnd eternal malediction ofevery lover of his country—in tbe abstract. But Mr. Speaker, when we descend to par­ ticularities, and find that a slight transac­tion of this sort has taken plnce among tho members of our party, and that partv em­ phatically tho party of purity, there is strongprima facie evidence that there is really nothing incorrect. For a member of a pure party must be pnr?, orthe party of purity would have b«en nn im­ pure party, which ia absurd. Therefore, when this pure party, a member of n pureparty commits nn act, tho supposition is that that act is pure. I nm snro tho Ilotni is with me so far. (Loud Ministerial diners.)Besides, gentlemen, tho not of accepting contracts, pny, and so forth, on the part of a Speaker, is not to bo hastily pronouncedupon. He is tho Speaker. Who is to tell us what is right, if not he ? Tho snppoti tion is that tho Speaker can do no wrong. Therefore tbe Iransnetion had nothing in­correct in it after all. I am certain honor­ able gentlemen nro of my mind. (Tremen­dous Ministerial choors.) And besides, ft is not wrong that a member shall take a contract, so that he resign his seat. What proof is there that tho Speaker did not in­tend to resign his seat ? He probably—I tnny say cortnluly. intended to do so. Would you have had him enmo ntmrinyhere with the wild rash of n schoolboy to resign it, first thing, next morning, before breakfast ? Certainly not. No Sir, theSpeaker knew what was dus to his own dignity and that of the Honse, nnd hs moreu, the matter of resigning his sest, with a calnf, unhurried, contemplative de-liberation, whi"b entitles him to tiie thnnke of every true patent >n the country.
