AN OPEN VERDICT, BY MISS M- E- BRADDON, AUTHOR OF “TAKEN AT THE Ftoon," "DEAS MEN'S SHOES,” “JOSHUA HAOGARU'S DAUGHTER,” "WEAVERS AND WEFT, ETC. CHAPTER IV. “ DOWER'D WITH ovn CURSE, AND STIUN- GER'D WITH OUR OATH.” There was no pleasanter Bouse in Little Yafford ar its neighborhood to visit on a Uanday evening than the shabby old Vicar- ngo in which Mr. and Mrs. Dulciuicr bad h'.^^fapilyi'fcrfile’last twenty yoaftf It was an old house, and had never been a grand bonse oven in its best days. Indeed, there was a legend in Little Yafford that it bad once belonged to a farm, aud there was a certain homely substantiality aud io|u]ity about it which favored that idea, Severe critics declared that there was not a single good room ihtho hopse, aud it must bo admitted tint all tfio room,a wep5 fow, aud that tbs cfamnays projected iuta them in a way which modern architecture disal­ lows, leaving four deep recesses on each side to ba filled up with books, old china, or such miscellaneous goods as Mrs. BippT, of the Fark} denounced under the compre­ hensive epithet rubbish. The windows were .smplt casements, with leaden lattices, and admitted as Httlo light ns was consis­ tent wilfi their-obvious function. Heavy old beams supported the low ceilings ; big old grates devoured incalculable quantities of fuel, but happily coals—pronounced for tbo meat part as a dissyllable—co als— were cheap at Little Yafford. The furniture was in keeping with the Ijcmsr, far il was all anejent anil shabby, and had a wonderful individuality abffat it, which, in demerit -Duleiiner's opinion, quite atoned for ita shabbiness. Almost all those old chairs and tables, and sofas, and brass-mounted sideboards, and ludiart tabfafas, and Queen Anno what-nots, had come to the vicar by inheritance : and it was to him as if lie saw the friendly faces of tbp dead-aud-gone kindred smiling at him from the tlireo cornared bureau, or the Japanese escritoire, or the walnut- wood chest fa drawers. He even got into tha way fa calling the furniture after the testators who bad left it to hirq, and would fell his wife to fetch him th* packet of sermon paper out fa Aunt Tabitha, dr that bo had left his spectacles on Unete Joseph. Tha dining-room on this antumnal Bun­day evening had a look of homely comfort which was cheering to a heart not given wholly over to spiritual things. It was a long lew room with three square paw- rueuts on the southern side, and a wide old fire.plAoe tarderpd with blue aud white Duteh tiles at Cho end. Gn each ride of tbs fire-place was the deep recess before mentioned, filled with old oak shelves on which were ranged Iha odds and euda of porcelain and delf which had, as it were, dropped from various branches of ' the family tree into Ci sure nt Pakimar’s lap. Aunt Tabitha’s Swansea teaset, with ita gprawliuF red rosea on a cream.-colored ground; Uncle Timothy’s quaint powe- Btoft jaga { Cousin Simeon's Bow tea-pot and punch bowl > grandmamma's Oriental deeaert plates; a Cbelief Btapberdesa mmne an arm ; a Ghabsea shepherd piping to* headless sheep. ?b«ro was a good &'&L fa nibbiab, no doubt, as Mra. Piper .M lsM , araidstthat heterogeneous collee- uon ; but there WM a great deal mor« value in those cope and plates than Giamoat Dal- eimar, suspected, or ba would have been sorely, tewpfejl fa exchange them for books.Ai tho end of the ro^m facing tbo Gro- S’ ne stood that fine fad aid^baafaffa ita innendalo period, faafauuly known »a Uncle John.

Dulcimer and the two girls found them there when they came down Blairs after tekfag ofl their bon note.Thf vicar was Blanding in front of the fire, careBiing Ufa favorite tabby wt with bis fool, a» that privileged animal rolled Upon lb* hearlb-xug. Sir Kenrick sat in Cousin Bimeon'a ana-chair, a deep, velvet- covered clinir, almast aa large as a am all- house.,, Cyril stood with bis head leaning ngaiost the high cbtmncy-pieca, looking dreamily down at the fire.* Welcome, yoiyig ladies !' exclaimed tho vicar, cheerfully, ‘ I thought Mrs. Dulcimer was never going to give us our supper. Como, Beatrix, thia is yonr place at tny riglit hand?‘ And Sir Kenrick will sit next Beatrix,' cried Mrs. Dulcimer, on maocouvring in­tent. ' Isabella, my love, you next the Vicar, aud Cyril will sit by me. I want to ask him aboqt the next missionary meet- They were all seated after good-natured Mrs. Dulcimer's desire. Kenrick by the side of Beatrix, gravely contemplative of the fine face with its rich un-English col­ oring; Cyril looked a hills distrait as iiv^Jy. Mias Scratchell discussed his scr- mop, in her bright, appreciative way, and With an air of being quite as well read in theology ns ho was. A wonderful girl, Miss Bcratchelt, with a knack of nicking UP stray facte, and educating hc^elf with the crumbs that fell from other people's tables, just as her father's poultry picked up their nourishment in the open atnnt aud other people’s stable-yards. * How did you like the sermon. Sir Kenrick ?’ .asked Isabella, smiling across tho chrysanthemums, and offering to the baronet's contemplation and insignificant prettiness, all dimples and pale pink roses. ‘ .Is much as I like any sermons, except the vioar'a,'answered Kenrick, coolly. ‘I like to hear Mr. Dulcimer preach boennso ho makes mo think-’ I ait on tenter-hooks all the time, longing to aland up and argue the point with him. Bat as for Cyril's moral battering-rams and catapults, and ail tha artillery which ho brings to bear against my eiufn! soul, I'm afraid their chief effect is to make ma drowey.' ' They Bp other people good, though,’ said Iflabella. * Mrs. Piper told mo she never felt awakened t;U die hoard Mr. Cui- verhonso'a Lont sermons.'4 Praise from Mrs. Viper is praise, in- deeii? remarked the vioar. ‘ Ob, but sho really does know 'fa good deal about sermons,' said Isabella. ' She is very fond of what sho calls serious read­ ing ; she reads a oermon every morning before she ^aes to her cook to order the dinner.'‘ And then she goes to tho larder and looks at ths joints to seo if there hav# been * folio we re ' overnight? suggested Kenrick, ' and according to her '.heologieal roading is tho keenness of her eye aqd tho acidity of her temper. If sho has been reading Jeremy Taylor, sho takes a liberal view of tho sirloin, and orders a hot joint for the servants’ baH. If she has been reading old Latimer, she i* humorous and eauslic, and orders hash co^ Q3 too good for domestic sinners, But if her pious meditations have boon directed by Baxter or Charnock. I P^Y Jho cook. There will bo abort opnimona in tho sor-, vante' ball that day?Balla laughed heartily- Sho had a pret­ ty laugh, anil cho made it a rulo to laugh at any sally of Sir Kenrick's. It is some­ thing for a penniless village lawyer's daughter to be on familiar terms with a baronet, even though bis estate be over so heavily mortgaged. Bella felt that her intimacy with the Vicarage and its sur­roundings lifted her r>bore the rest of the Scratubell?.. Her younger sisters qsod to ask her what Sir Kenrick was like, $na if bo Wore tbick-eoled bpote like common people, nud pver drank anything BO vulgar as beer.The supper wont on merrily. The vicar tafacd of mon and of books, the younger mon joining fa just enough to sustain the conversation. Supper at the Vicarage— substantial as tho meal was—seemed more or less an excuse for Bitting at a table talk­ing for a couple of houre at a stretch. Long after the sirloin had been carried off to do duty in the kitchen, Mr. Dulcimer aat in fhe parvor's seat, sipping his claret and talking of men and books- Beatrix eeuld not imagine any thing more delight: fql than those Sunday evening discourses.But paw came a message from the foot­ man in the kitchen, to remind his mistress that >1 wfta half-past ten. The rule at Water House WM for eyery door to be looked and boiled when the cloak struck eleven.

My dear Mrs. Dulcimer, I cn« tell you about the missionary meeting thia rjjfante. I have had a letter from Mr. ViekerpHtn, aud bo wil} be very happy to preach in fae morning this day three weeks, and to give a lecture in tho school-roota on llfa follow­ ing ov enlng,' Jhe neat little parlor maid came back laden with jackets and bonnete, and Keat- rix aud Isabella equipped themselves quick­ ly for tbeir walk.• We really don't went any one,' remark­ed Beatrix, blushing, M the two young men followed them into tljo ball. ' James is here to take cars of us.’ Jatuee, in pepper and pfai<4 fas forelock aaaentiugiy. • But I am going with you all the same,' said Cyril, with gentle firmness, and bo had the audacity to offer her bis arm before ^ir Kenrick ©onld seise hie opportunity.Ijstursliy Sir Kenrick gave bis arm to Miss Scratohell.! What will they #ay at home when I tell them ibfe ?’thought Belle.Sho liked Cyril beet, aud admired him aa the first among men, bat she could not forget Sir Kennck’a title ami gwnwihip fa an encumbered estate. AU the stars were shining out fa tbo dark calm heaven—censtellaiions and variable flare l&oking down at them from that urs. uitetabfa . romoteuM* b^ond. the planet Neptune. The walk v»s act long, but the way WM full of be»aty under that starry sky—a rood that led down hill into the watery valley which made ^he chief )ov«- liuese fa Lettie Yafford. Il waa a fondy road. fafaUng away from fie town—a rood bordered on one side by a narrow wood fa Scoteh firs, ou the ether by a Wretch fa an ma marshy gammon land, and *0 dew a inUi tho valley where the Water House rare, with black old towerjivyr ehronded, above the wfadlux river. There was an old QODQBB bridge over the river, and thou eacne the g«fe« fa the Wrtw HOOM, undejr an ancient archway.Cyel miked away with Beatrix's baud They walked on in silenoe—that thrilling silence which tells of deepest fooling. These mo tho moments which women re­member and look bock upon in the gray sober after-life. It is not somo girlish tn-. *umph—tho glory of ball-xoom or court— which the faded beauty recalls and medi­ tates upon with that sense fa sad sweet­ ness that hangs round a lost dream. No ; it is such a moment as ibis—whan her band hung tremulous upon her lover's erm and words would not come from her lipa that were faint with a great joy. • Have you thought of what I said yes-, lerday. Beatrix ?' Cyril asked at last, in those grave tones of hie which to her oar meant toe most exquisite music.1 Did not yon say it ? "What should I do bnt thiok of it ? When do I oyer thfak of anything but yoqr words ?' sho exclaimed, with a kind fa impatience. 1 Aud you hayo spoken to yonr fatbar— or you have made up you; mind lo let me ^peofe to him T ‘ I have done neither. What is the use of my speaking—or of your speaking—un­less yon want my father to .separate us forever? Doyon think that he will be. civil to you when he knows that I fove you? Do you think ho would lot me marry tbo man I love ? No ; that would be showing ms too much kindness. If wo lived in tho good fad fairy-tale days he would get ent a herald and invite the ugliest and most hateful mon in the kingdom to come and compete for his daughter's band, and the ugliest and vilest should Lave tho prize. That's how my father would treat me if the ago wo live in would allow him ; and as he can't do quite so m.ucli as that, he will wait quietly*till some detestable person comes in bis way, and then order me to. marry him?• Beatrix, do you thiak it fa right aud just to talk like this ?’ ' 1 can’t pronounce upon tha rightne®i of it, but I know it is not unjust. I am say­ ing nothing but tho truth. Ab, Cyril, I may sooni wicked and bitter onfi unwom­ anly when I talk Ek,® tbfa—yea, I am all thcee bad things—a woman unworthy to bo loved by you—except that 1 am so much to be pitted. But who Ess mode mo wbat 1 am ? If you kh°’i’ how I used to try to make mj falta* love me 1 If you could huVQ Boon mo when I was a littlo thin sick­ ly child, creeping into his study and crouching at bis knee, to be repulsed just a little more borsbly than bo would have repulsed * dog ! I went on trying against every discouragement. Who else was there far me to lovo ? My mother was gone ; my governess told me fast it was natural for a father to loyo hja child—*n only child—a motherless obild most oi all. So I went on trying. And I think the more I tried to win bis love, tho more hateful I became tn him. Aud now, though wo meet two or three times a day and speak civily to each other, wo live quite apart, When he was dangerously ill last winter, I nsed to sit in the corridor outside bis bedroom day aud night, fearing that be was going to die. and thinking that perhaps at the Inst bo might relent, and romrtnbor that I WM bis daughter, and stretch out bis feebio arms to mo and take me to bis heart. Bnt though death camo very near him—awfully near—there was no relenting.'1 My darling, life has keen very hard for yan? said Cyril, with deepest pity. Sbo shocked him by fi0r veuerqence, but sho moved him to compassion by the depth of by-gone misery her present indignation revealed.* My father has been bard to me, and bo Ims hardened me,' sho said. 'He turned my heart to stone. It was cold and bard as stone, Cynl, till you molted it.’ ‘ My dearest, there are many duties in­ volved jn that great duty of honoring your father,' pleaded Cypl, ‘and perhaps tho chief fa all is patience. You must bo patient, love; tho hour of relenting will como at last. Duly and filial lovo will win tbeir rpward. But you must never again speak of yoqr father as you have spoken to:nigbt. It is my dply io forbid this groat iin, I could not sed yoq kneeling al tho altar rails, and put tbo sacred cup into your bands, knowing you cherished such a spirit aa Ibis.’ . ‘ I will not disobey you? sho answered, with a grave humility. ‘I will not speak of my father at all? • And you will endeavor to think of him with kindnpss, as you used in the dayfl when you were trying to ^vju his love? * In those days I need to think of him with fear,' said Beatrix. 'The Squad of his voice or bis footstep always made mt shiver. But I bad this saying in my mind, ‘it is natural for a father to love bis mother­less child,' and I did try ytry hard, very patiently, to make him lovo me?’ Go on trying, dearest, and the love will como at ]a$t. Remember Ujo parable pf the unjust judge. Human love, like heaven­ly love, ie to bo won by many prayers. And ;f I aai be your lover and yonr hus- baud, Beatrix, I can only be so wftb your father’s knowledge aud approval. Dearly, deeply aa I love you, I will not stoop to wiu you by deceit and suppression. I would not BO dishonor you, I coqld nut BO diBhoupf myself? •Let me go, then,'cried the girl, passion- atelv. 'Throw me away M you would throw a withered roes into that river,' pointing to the daik Btrcam under the Roman arch—shadowy waters on which the distant stars ahona dimoly—'you will never wiu mo ivitb bis consent. He will not believe in yogr Jove for me. Ha will misjudge and ioaqU yog, for he believes in no men’s truth or honor. He has made for himself a religion of hatred and suspic­ion. Why should make him the ruler of our lives ? why should wo accept misery because ta wills us to be miserable ? You are quite sure that you fave me, Cyril; it is really lovo and not pity that you feel for me r she asked, soddofay, with a gush of womanliness breaking through the dsrtar phase fa feeling.

MUTINY OF AN ENTIRE OABBIBON—HORRIBLE OUTRAGES—SEVERAL PERSONS KILl.En ANO WOUNDED^ Washington, January 8.—Commander Rodgers reports from Sandy Point, Straits of Magellan, that on Nov. 12lh ho was boiled by a steamer having on board Capt. Wilson, of the German steamer Memphis, who stated that tbo English vice-Consul boated, him ®Qd warned him that a mutiny of the entire garrison had broken out at Sandy Point, tha convicts were liberated and outrage# were being com- mitted* Nevertheless Wilson pruceedad there, and upon approaching was boarded by a boat containing the captain of the port in irone, three mutinous soldiers, two convicts and three others, ono a Govern­ment official. Wilson disarmed tbo sol­ diers and took*all tho occupants of the boat on board. While hoisting tbo boat tbo Memphis WRS fired fa several time* frqm the shove by tfic muti^ersj wio wore- in possession of all the artillery of the port. Tho Memphis then proceeded wjtb all deepateh towards Montevideo, and *jn doing ipj fell in with the vessel. Wilson requested Rodgers to tal^o the people from Sandy Point on board that they might re­ turn. Ho did so, and placed tha aoWiers and convicts qnder guard, and then discov­ ered from tbo eaptsin of .the port that he, with the mutineers, had been sent to bring or decoy tbo Memphis into anchor, age, under penalty of being shot, with tho result above Btated.

Sir John Macdonald called lb^ Convention to order at 8 o'clock, nnd after a spirited address, Mr. Wallace, of South Norfolk, was unanimously ap. pointed permanent chairman. The atten­ dance is very large, every riding and con- Etilneucy fa the Province being well and ably reprewn ted. Th* business of tbo Convention being merely of a business nature, it fa not tktinblo to moke any very minute report for the general public. Wb may #ay, however, that the greatest enthusiasm fa manifesto.!, and the bopss for tho future prosperity of the party are tverythinc that fa encouraging. If there ia aA>lbfag particularly noticeable from the report# which havA been handed iu from th* various section#, it fa the fact (hat Iha greatest reactions and changes arc tak- iuf place fa countie# which have hitherto bran considered irredeemable. This should be eacouraging to South Oxford^—a con­ stituency which baa always voted the straight Reform ticket, and those who know the ridfair thoroughly must acknow­ ledge the fact that thia phase of tbo political aspect of Sontb Oxford bears out in a marked degree the reports which comes from other parte of the Province. By earnest end persistent efforts there is little doubt but what South Oxford may at the next general Election bo brought to cast off its alfagience from the party of incapable# who have, during the loot four years, been fa power.

EUBOPEAX rOLmCAL AFFAIRS, Tho late alarming crisis in France, caused by tho De Brogilio Ministry of tho 16th of May, may now be fairly said to be at MI cud, Marshal Mocmahou having UneonditfonallJ’ submitted to tho Republican parliamentary majority, and tho two Housca of the Legisla­ ture having adjourned to tho Sth of January, after Jaising a portion at the annual budget. It is said that the excitement and worry of tho crisis have given a severe shock to tho ordinary admirable health of tho President uf the Republic. The fall of Plevna, wliich was defended by ono of tho bravest, mot>t daring, ami moat skillful Gcuerals Turkey could boast of—the heroic tlwuau Pasha— causes great excitement in Great Britain, and it fa feared that after oil the Nation may be- couio involved fa thi* terrible war, What ap- pears/o add to the cxdtenieut is the fact that FarliMucnt has been samanmed to meet a jnpnth earlier than usual, which lead* mauy_ Wlbclievo that tho Premier—Lord Beacons* field—whose sympathies, it is well-known, arc with the Porte, may have already taken a •tep from which it is impossible to honorably recede, and that the Legislature is tailed for tho purpose uf ondunfag the policy of the Cabinet and voting war supplies.

These state­ments look very well on pa;»cr, no doubt, but they do not at all agree with the testimony given on a trial held in Dublin a short time ago. Tho trial referred to was an action for libel brought by a gentleman named Bridge, the agent of a large estate in the counties uf Cork and Limerick, against another gentle­man named Caocy. A chain of rugged, bar­ren and unproductive mountains, called the Galties, is situate on thia property, of which they cover a largo extent. Witinn the last century a number of people "squatted" on this district, twid compelled it, by rectamma- tioa, to yield them a boro substance, for which they paid to the then proprietor* but a unm- inalrcct, which was exacted to prevent them from obtaining a title to their holding* ; otherwise cou-mfofcd of *carcely any value. A few years ago, however, the properly changed hands, nnd the new proprietor, caused all those mountain farms to tie valued by a surveyor of his own selection, the remit being that the rents Were increased from 100 to 500 per cent., which most of the tenants refused to pay on the ground that it would be utterly impossible to do so and maintain their families. Ejectmonta were accordingly is­ sued against them, and they were about to be evicted from their holdiint’- The offence of Mr. Casey appeared to be that he had brought the niatCcr before Ilie public in a eerie* of able letters to the local pajwrs, in which ho forcibly depicted the sufferings nnd the miserable condition of the tenantry from whom it was sought to exact more rent. Thi* Mr. Bridge foul been twice shot at, the first time in his own pleasure grounds, being very severely Wounded, from Which he WM almost 4 year recovering, the secoud time while driving along a public road accompanied by A guard of p dice men. His driver was killed, liimself and one of the policemen being slightly wounded. No person was ptinfabed for the first outrage, the guilty party liavi.m escaped to America, but fur the second an old :uan named Crowe paid the penalty on the gallows. Those facta were all brongJit out at tho trial by the prosecution, but it WM prove 1 by the defence that the letters were publish­ed subsequently to the perjwtration of tho outrages, the truth of tho statements being also pleaded ns a justification. The extreme poverty and destitution sworn to by several uf tho witueoses wcro almost incredible. Oue of them swore he had not tasted meat fora num­ber of years ; another that ho had par. ued Ids overcoat t-> enable him to pay the increase in rent; and another that hi* wife and chil­dren were compelled to work lor a neighbor­ing farmer to enable them to smbaist. A gen­ tleman froimanuthcr county said, ou hie oath, that ho Would not giro five acres of his farm for the whois township, liaving previously examined tho place cirefnlly ;nnd two others, with the latter, testified that some of the cabins were scarcely fit for beasts to live in. Many mure witnesses Were exaiwmciL tlvo trial having Luted (or seven days, but I think this u quite sufficient to show Jiow much ro- lianca should Irt placed on tire effusion# <it thoso jicoplu who write aud talk of Irish prosperity, and to give your readers an idea of tho condition of tho people who were ex­ pected to pay an increase ot rent- His need­less to add that Mr. Casey WM acquitted on all tho principal count* of tho indictments, but on tho other tho jury disagreed. kind fa Ireland. One of them is to the effect that a yonng man, deeply in love with a beau­tiful girl WHO lived ‘near the entrance to the glen, and who spent his happiest hoar# in her society, but whose affection wa* not returned, was sent to Dublin uuo day by hi* sweetheart for some article which she desired, and told uot to distrcm himself by coining back that night with<it, tJiat it wodd do the next day. Anxious to prove his devotion Jie mde no dl-Jay, bat WM Lack the same ovoufag with the article, and ou going to seek licr found another, bis rival, sittiug by lier side. Instead of naneachhig her for her intideUty, lie flung tho li&ubfo at her feet, anil, without a word, jumped tiff the rock, and was dashed to pivces below. Another legend is much more touching. A yonng lady, qHite as fickle as tbo other, formed a second attachment before the first was alLogutlier ub|iterated. Sho was not conscious of the misery her falsehood had affected until one evening, while singing a song to her new lover, she heard the church bell tolling, and happened to Inquire who waa dead. Being told, it smote upon her heart so that har mind wandered. She spent ail that night, heedless of the cold sod min, lH»on the Erave of her first love. It was iu vain that er relatives tried to prevent her from stwud. fag her nigh Is on tho grave ; sho wonld re­turn to them in the morning, but invariably res QUID her foncly seat before nightfall ; she, who had liecu false to ths living, was faithful to the dead, and all the wiles of the youth she Aad gaily sang to failed to win her from her resolve. At leugtli she became hopelessly insane, and with an air of unearthly triumph sho assured her sister that her true tovo hail arisen from the grave, and that sho had walked with him alon^ through the houilnods of the glen ; that ho had promised to meet her again nnd lend her to u «]>ot where they should bo uuited to part no more. Ttiis alarmed her family, and they placed her under a mild restraint, but witli tlio cunning of in­sanity, she eluded tiieir vigilance and esci-pol. Her flight was quickly discovered, her brother followed to the churchyard, Mid arrived just in time to see her run towards the glen, lie pursued her, saw her pause for a moment upon tiio fatpl brink, aud then dart into the . boiling abyss. Some Icredulous poofils will tell you her spirit is trfil seen every mid-anra- mer era soaring along the headland above the river ; sometimes like a dovo, floating liko a silver star through the night ; at other times in the shape of a white fawn, dashing fear lessly forward, and disappearing with the ypcc'd of au arrow in the leafy wood.

Chadwick male application to the Council for money to defray ths ex­ pense of the Cheese Board, and stated that unless the Council aided them the Board of Trade would bavo to bear all the ex­ penses themselves. He therefore request­ ed that a grant be made. Moved by Mr. Cass Well, seconded by Mr. Ellis, that the sum of 870 be granted the Board of Trade to defray tbs exponas of tbo ch octa market for tho past year, and that the Mayor bo instructed to sign an order on tho Treasurer for tlia amount. Mr. Boll thought tho amount asked for loo large, and that if Uto cbeeso maikot was not a self-sustaining institution it shonll Ito done away with; Mr. Brown h'so tbought the earn asked for too high. 550 bad affrays been granted heretofore, and be thought that amount should be enough this year. Could not see why this Council should spend money for associations and conventions that were very little benefit to tbo town. Mr. Casswell—The money was not to assist the conventions, but to pay tho ex­ pense of advertising cheese market, which was done with a view of keeping tho mar­ ket in Ingersoll. Mr. Ellis—It was merely a town matter, and as the town was most Lenefitteil by it, ho did nut think the amount iso much. Mr. Daly—Would liko to know under what course wo are sailing; some members of this Council had suggested that certain motion* already brought forward should be waived and left for tbo new Council to deal with.

He will keen a fare* Mr. Ellis—This was a different motion from that of paying an account. The present members of the Finance Commit­ tee may not belong to the next Countil. Mr. Casswell—Il lay entirely with tbo present Council to decile the matter. Mr. Ellis—Any one conversant- with Ilie Board of Trade will remember that 82 per year is paid by members. Tbs receipts in that direction have fallen off considerably, and consequently the grant asked for has been increased. Mr. Casswell—How many farmers had paid in their does this year ? They are tlio parties who are most benefiiled by the cheese market, hut he understood that there had also been a falling off in that direction. Clerk—Nearly 8100 leei this year. Moved in amendment by Mr. Brown, seconded by Mr. Choate, that the applies- tion of the Board of Trade bo laid over until the first evening of Jim new Council. Mr. Daly—Wo had better sA the Board to make out a bill of items, cc that we may knowwhat wo are paying this money for. They might be going to use it for champagne or something of that sort. Mr. Daly moved iu amendment to tho amendment, seconded by Mr. Walley, that the application of the Board of Trade for 870 be laid on the table. Third resolution carried. On niution of Mr. Brown, seconded by Mr. Choate, Mrs. Hill's taxes, amounting to 812.80, were remitted. Moved by Mr. Bell, seconded by Mr. Daly, that Wm. T, James ba granted a license for a billiard saloon for tho fiscal year, being up to tho first of March next. Mr. Brawn (bought this resolution was not a right one. Most of the people in town would be opposed io any such thing. We were just treading oa the heels of the new Council, and it would be going too far, and be doiag them an injuitiea, to pass any such resolution at this late hour. Thought it should be loft for ibo now Council to deal with. Mr. Ellis agreed with Mr. Brown. Did not think it right for members of the old Council to vote on such a resolution.

I that 1 am unable to wire, Hia ortielo eonveya the idea that a man has little okaite of ancones East, anleu bleescd with auffieisnt means to pay for hia farm. The fast is, a mrua without cash has just as good an opport unity to become the possessor of a farm at the Eaat.as at the West. I can name hundreds—nay, thousands of wealthy farmera, who commenced with little, or noth­ ing. They first worker! out by the month ; or perhaps worked land "on shares” until they h*d accumulated a few hundred dollars and then bought farms giving a “ Mortgage" on one,half, two-thirda, three-fourths, and even in many instances on the full amount of their lands, reserving their money to buy stock, tools, etc. Of course, acme failed, but failure was the eroeption not the rule. (living o mortgage to erect fancy buildings, to buy fine clothing and the like, eannpt be too strongly condemned, but when one has productive property to ahow for it, the case is different A mortgage given on a good farm to secure the purchase money, is often—if not tha exercMB of treater economy. A person may M well economize closely at tho East un­ til that mortgage is paid off, as to go Weal where the find cost of land will bo leas, but where he wiU be deprived of many of tho com­ forts of life, while hia refined wife “pines her life away, nighing for tli« dear ones she has left behind her.” Many wives who are not considered very refined bare strong attach­ ments for family and friends. These ties should not be rudely Hindered without strong and practical reasons. No, young man, it is not so much where you go, M it is what yon are, and what you do. that will detoraduoyour future success. My advice is, “ pitch in" somewhere ; run iuto debt if necessary,—taking care that tho property Is worth what you are to pay for it— and nineteen cases out of every twenty you will succeed. Sheuld failure come you will, at JsMt, fee! happier than If yon had waited. MicAWDZRjiko, for something to “turn up/' For every man who has run into dsbt for a farm and failed, at least two can bo found who have been given property that they have run through. What people need is words of en­ couragement, not discouragement. Some­ thing to increase their faith, not lessen it. As a well known writer says; “If you have words of cheer, of faith and encouragement, give them to me; but" keep your doubts to your- 1 self. 1 have enough doubts of my own.” Syracuse, N. Y., Dec. 10th \StT.-.Il«ra A’eio Yorker. SYSTEM 1NFARMIN0. There must be a system in every business if it is to succeed, and whoever ignores a clear foreaighted way of conducting farming will soon have no farming; for if he is depending on it for a living he will become bankrupt, or if doing it for amusement, the drain on-capital will Be so heavy as to cause prudence to step in and end such a losing transaction. Some men arc eo opjniated os to imagine thetnselver competent to manage a farm with- ont any looking forward, and they will make inadequate preparation for winter and have nothing in readiness by the time it is wanted, and if anything goes wrong it is laid at thef door of some other than tho right poison. There is not a more pitiable and contemptible man than the one who thinks himself smarter than any one.elec, and yet runs around seek­ ing to charge all his shortcoming* to othcra while he alone is to blame. There aro men who are too stingy to make good fences or properly repair those which arc rotting or tumbling down, and who yet talk of being stock farmcis, and they will buy grade short horns, grade Jerseys, monjB'cls of all col­ ors nod sizes, and expect the public to adimre their animal* and believe them to be some­ thing supc rior. Now by using good pure -bred bulls and raising the calves, improvement* could . bn made in these grades, but those niggardly •enls will Ijegradge tbo trouble to raise the calves, and either sell them for veal or let them go with the cow to a dairy-man. System would raise all tho heifer calves, and by using good bulls each generation would be­ come better. Or, any man with sufficient capital would commence with some really good pure-bred stock, and breed and sell first-class ammals, and thus conduct the breeding on a system oF continually seHiug al double and treble the price of common stock and gaining ; extra profile. System, too, will oanso any ,£nan of intelligence to have every de- purtment methodically conducted, and not to have anj thing delayed or capriciously chang­ ed from the rotation or regular course. But the miMrablo, shiftless tamer will have a piece of plowing in the middle of a meadow and a field of corn or grain with no fence be­ tween it and the pasture, and then every neighbor will be complaining ot injury from stock through the bad fences. Ha will also bo so simple as to attempt to fatten, in the winter, oows which have been in milk aud have lost their flesh and perhaps some coarse, thin, big- banej, steera. A WORKING .FARMER.
