KINO STREET, DR, WILLIAM GRAY’S SPECIFIC MEDICI ME otaunMtysr /aerators ia At United Statre, CHAPTER XLV. (Continued) Bells found that she would have to con­tent herself in a great measure with tba society uf the Timperleys, the Porkmans, the Wigzell*, and all tho ramifications ofthose family trees. Every body in this ut was rich, and the chief struggle of every Cody's life seemed to be to epend moremoney upon display than his or her neigh­ bor. The men boosted of their cellar*,aud vied with each other in giving prices fortheir wines. A few loftier spirits bought pictures, nud talked patronizingly of their favorite Royal Academicians. They seem­ ed to think that Frith and Milais had beencreated for them, like Holbein for Henry the Eight, or Vaudyck fur Charles the First. They nil lived in brand-new houseswithin ten miles of Groat Yufford—houses built by tUeinBelves.all spick and span and fresh from the builder's hand, with not somuch as an elderly apple- treo ou the prem­ ises. The county people had been condescend­ingly civil to the new Mrs. Piper; but that was all. They called upon her, and con­ templated her with an icy stare, as if t>Lehad been a natural curiosity—somethingto wonder at, like the only living gorijla. She was asked to three large dinners, atwhich she felt herself less than nobody, though sbe worn laces and jewels enough for a dowager of aucieut lineage. Bella,clever as she was,found that these people's thoughts were not her thonghts, nor their ways her ways, and that al! the distancebetween the east and west was not wider than the gulf between her and the coanty familirs. But this need not be always so,she told herself. Sbe was quick at learn­ ing languages, and would learn tho jargon uf the county families as easily as she badlearned Itxliiu. These scraps of social slang, tl eso continual allusions to peopleshe did no ku«w and pleasures she had never th-red, could hardly bo so difficult os Dante. Mr. Piper looked on and admired, whilehis young wife watted his money, laughed nt his frienus, and made light of his opin­ ions; but he was not altogether satisfied orcoxy in his mind. It would not always beso, bo thought. There would entue a*day. The Duchess was carrying things with a high baud. It was, perhaps, just as well to let her have her fling. She was so unac-ciiRtonied to tho command «f money, poor htllo woman, that she might bo forgiven for spending it somewhat recklessly. Aud,after all, this increased ex;>cnditure was pleasanter than poor Moggie's carefuluess and perpetual lamentations about butchers'bills and pounds of butter. Mr.Piper liked his new butler, and was even, in his heart of heart*, not displeased with the powdered footman or tho top - bootedgroom, though ho affected to dispise th<io follies. lie fell himself on a levrl with tire Timperleys in their bright redTudor mansion, with it* jutting windows and leaden lattices, its deep porch aud irun-studded door,its gilded vane and manygablrs, at once intensely old and dazzling- !y acw. Ho was fixing ns became his wenlth aud social *tntu«, living like thePorktnaus and the Wigz<-lls ami tho rest of his ptirse-proul acquaintances. The first Mrs.I’iprr hod hung upon him like a log ona hobbled donkey, and hail deprived himof all freedom with her ever’aating econom­ ical scruples. H* had been afraid to givea dinner party, knoxviug that for a month niter there would be ceaseless wailings about tire expense af the feast.• 1'iper, have you any idea what grouse were when you asked Mr. Timperley to diuuer la»t august?' Mrs Piper would de­mand. ‘ I know the brace we had were uncom­ monly tough,and preciously badly cooked,'Mr. Piper would retort. • They were twelve shillings a brace. Pi­ per. Here's the poulterer's bill in blickand white to prove it to yon. I cnll it sin­ ful to eat game at such a price. You know you ordered them, Piper. I should haveinquired what they were to cost—but you never do.' • I wanted to give Timperley a decentdinner,' Mr. Piper would reply. • Hung it, Moggie, when I go to Timperley's be feeds me on tire fat of the laud. Besidesw« can afford it.' Nobody can afford wanton extravagance Mrs. Piper would groan; and this kind ufconversation would occur daily. Thus it was a new thing to Mr. Piper to have bis domestia life administered witha liberal-banded luxury, to bear no com­ plaint* about the misconduct of servants or the price of provisions, not to bo awakenedabruptly from his dinner nap to bear that bread had gone up a half penny, or that Scrogfield was charging thirteen ponce forfillet of veal. 'Upon my word, little woman," be ex* o’aimed one day, delighted with his wife’scleverness, * you have made the house ■ paradise.’ It was still more a paradise after Christ­mas, for the second Mrs. Piper having found ont that h*r step-dsughler* were sadly in want of dancing and aaliatheuio*.which they oould not possibly bo tanjrht properly at home, would be mnch benefit- ted by being transplanted to Mias Turk’sboardlng ssbool, on the outskirts of Great Yafford, th* school at which Mre.Dulcimer and all the best people In the neighborhoodbad been educated under the aunt* and pre­ decessor* of tho two reigning Misses Turk. Mr. Piper was rather disappointed, justat first, by this idea of Bella's. He had hoped to have his daughters always athome. They vers trouhlesomo, rude, and noisy, but still Mr. Piper liked them,as the gladiator liked his young barbarians. • I thought you would have gone onleaching the girls, little woman, be said, villi a ohopfallen air.• My dear Mr. Piper, what time should I have for society or for you if I did that ? Quite impoMible. Beeidee.tlie girls will boa great deal better si A first-rate school. They are too high spirited to obey mo, andnow I am their mama, ttrey would laofh al MJ attempt* to teuli them. Mr. Piper sighed and Mibmitted. Theboys went to sr’re.-»l as a matter ef enurw.. He bad no objooifon to that. Bui bo had hoped that his daughters would stay atboms, and ebeer his breakfiurt table with their m ad eommonplsM faces and small secund-band jokes, and thump their duetsof aa evening for bis deieotatioo. One evil Mr. Piper had feared ia teMngTtaila for hi, wife lre.1 not Ufalhm him- He had fanried that the Park would beoverrun with Beratobell*, that Bella, as aa affectionate member of a large family, wvnld want to make hb brews a free war­ ren for her father aud mother, brotbsn and dintractetl by thoughta about the kettle or the kitchen generally then at other periodeof her existence; for the Scratohell s had b cold dinner on the Sabbath, not so muchfrom piety as from a conviction ef Mrs. Scratohell's that cold meat went farther than hot.This kind of intercoase was not what the Scnitcliells—especially Clementina and Flor*—had expected; but they were faia tobe thankful for the favors they received, and never earned their murmurs furtherthan the sacred home circle, where, sitting round the winter fire, they diaceursed al their ease upon Bella's woridlineea and want of natural feeling.• I was so glad when Lady Jane refused to go to her dinner purtyl'said Clementina.4 Wo weren't asked to that party. Oh no. Wo were not good enough to meet Lady Jane—nor the Timperlays either. AndLady Jane wrote acd told Bella that she only went out to dine with old friends. Wasn't that splendid?’* Did Bulla tell you ?* asked Mr. Scratch- ell, 'Caleb her! She's too proud to tell me she's been snubbed. Lady Jane told Mrs.Dnlcimer, and Mrs. Dulcimer toM me, and I'vo no doubt every body in the village knows about it by this time.'' No doubt sighed Mrs. Seratchell, in her doleful way. * It was a pity Bulla put her­ self so forward.* CHAPTER XLVI. IN THE CHURCH-YARD. ‘ My dear,' said Mrs. Dulcimer to Bar.trix, quite suddenly, one evening when she and Kenriek were sitting round the fire in the snug dining-room, a littlo while beforetea,' Cyril must certainly assist at your marriage.' Happily for Beatrix the lamp had notyet been brought in. There was only the changeful and uncertain fire-light, which just at this moment left her face in shadow.' Well, yes,' returned Kenriek. ‘ I think Cyril ought to be invited. If he were not present it would look aa if there were somequarrel between us; and we are very good friends, are we not dear?' he added,turning to hia betrothed.‘ Yes,' faltered Beatrix. • If ho were not here, people would talk,' pursued Mra. Dulcimer. ' You see, Brid-ford is not more than thirty miles distact, aud as Konrick’s first cousin, and Mrs.Dulcimer’s late curate, it would bo only natural for him to assist at tba ceremony.' • I will write and a»k him to-morrow,' said Kenriek. ' I ought to hax’e thought ofit before.' ' Ho has been very ill,' suggested Bea­trix. ‘ Ho may not be strong enough to travel.' ‘ Thirty miles only, my dear. A merenothing,' said Mrs. Dulcimer. ' Besides, ho has quite recovered—or at any rate he has gone bock to his duty. Clement toldme so a week ago.’ ' Kenriek,’ said Beatrix, a little later, when she and her luvor were walking tothe Water House together through the wintry night, ‘ is it really necessary for your cousiu to bo at our wedding?’‘ His absconce might cause a scandal, dearest. Remember ho is my nearest re­ lation, known to be quite near at hand.andclosely associated xrith this place. Do you not think that people would say unplea*, ant things if we left him nut?** Yea,’ sighed Beatrix; ‘ people have a knack of imagining the worst.* • I should be very sorry if any one wereto say that Cyril was absent at xny wedding because be and my wife feared to meet,* sail Kenriek with a sudden pang of jeal- onay.• They shall have no reason for saying any thing of the kind,’ Beatrix answered, proudly. • Pray invite your cousin.*• Now you are angry.' * Not with you,* she answered, quickly. * I am angry with tho world, life, fate.** What, Beatrix, now when you have made me so happy, when all our lite is smiling before us—every cloud gone ?'- Beatrix's only answer was a sigh. But Kenriek was rapt in the placid delight of bis good fortu ne. He loved his betrothedtoo well to believe it possible that she did not love him. They had lived so happily, as it seemed to him,for nearly four months,in each other's society. They had never had a dispute, or even a difference ot opin­ ion. Could ho doubt that she had grownfonder of him day by day in all that time? Her irritation to-night was natural, be ar­gued. It arose from her scorn of ths scandals that bad darkened her young life. It was hard for her to forget these things.Kenriek wrote next day to his cousin: ‘ Dear Cyril,—The Dulcimers say you ought to assist at my wedding, aud I think the same. Will you oome ? * Ysura always, Kenrick.’ The answer was very littlo longer: • Dear Kenrick,—I agree with you and the Dulcimers. I will oome to assist in the ceremony, and to wish yon and yonr brideall blessings that this life and the brighter life after can yield. * My time is oloasly occupied hers, so my visit must be of the shortest. I will tom*on Tuesday afternoon, and must return on Wednesday directly after the wedding. ‘ Youra iu all affection and good faith,• Cyril.' Thia letter mads Kenrick happy. It dis­ pelled the one uneariness of bis mind—the lurking notion that be bad helped to spoilhis cousin's peace. Cyril was evidently reconciled to tho existing state ot things. After all, it was hi* own doing, Kenriekthought. He bad no right to eamplain, Kunrfok showed the tatter to Beatrix, who read it slowly and thoughtfully, andreturned it to him without a word. * A gentleman-like latter, isn’t ii? * asked Kenrick.‘Very,* she answered. Did it please her that hrr former lover should write in ao friendly a tone—that hoshould bo willing to assist in tbs solemn act that was to make their severaneo in*-vocable ? No. His wfllingnsas stung hsr to the quick. * He never loved me,* she thought * Itwss Bella's pretty fees that no really cared for. Bnt he thought my fortune would help him in doing good, and ha eras willingto sacrifioe his own iodiaatfons in order to be useful-to others. He Hkod ms just well enough, perhaps, to bo reoonciloa to theidea of marrying me and making neo of my fortune. Aud then wlren the slandorarose be drew back. Honor forbade him marrying a woman the world saspeetod of a hldooas crime, and whom bo did not love.'Bitter itaiouhts for the bride ot to-mor- row. Tuesday morning had seme. Nr. SerafeWl hn4 oolted at the Water Howsto 1*11 Mies Harofirld that every thing wee done aoeordin* to her wish. The eqeitablecharge on Ksnrfek'a estate bad been paid off. Culvorhons* Csetlo eras a* free as it tiuetly that to g«t marrisd is to turn ovtr a new luf in ths volums of lifs. ‘It ii all well to let me do in thesething*, to ehooee ae color*, and to deviu m mode*, but ii must that you interest your,self » little now Hurt ulf is aohieved, or IdLbII think you are not oontent.' ‘Dear Madame Leonard, I am morethan content But I cm not very fond of flue clothes. They do not fill my mind as they seem to do with tome people.''Ah, my dear,' cried the Frenchwoman, ' it is all very well to be high aud mighty; but I can tell yoa there are times in awoman's life when if she did net think about her dreee, ehe would bare nothing to think of. And it ia better to think of a newKown than a new lover. That amnic*. And, after all, it U innocent. To talk ofdreaa dose no one any harm. It is not like ■caudal.’ * Dear Madame Leonard, you are wiserthan I. But never mind the trooMeau just now. Pleaae pack my plainest dresses and wraps in one trunk. I am not going totravel with all Chose huge boxes, am I ?* * No; the biggest of those am to bo sent •traight to India, and the smaller are to meet you at Brindisi.* Sir Kenriek and his bride were to spendtheir honey-moon in Faria and in Italy, travelling by easy stages to Brindiai,whence they were to start for India early in April—a fact which Mrs. Dulcimer bit­ terly bewailed.* I thought Kenriek would sell out,* she said, 'and that yen would divide your lives between Culverhouso Castle and theWater Honse.' * That would have been to spoil Kenriek'scareer jnst as it promises distinction,' answered Beatrix. * I should regard that as a kind of assassination.'Upjn thia last day of her maiden life Beatrix was strangely absent and troubled in manner. Sbe shrank even from Mad­ame Leonard's gentle sympathy, and while the anxious little woman was busy with the trunk and peeking cases, the owner of allthat finery paced the garden walk by the dull gray river, reckless of the biting eastwind, wrapped in gloomy thoughts. The swollen waters were rushing under the old stone arch; the moor was darkly purpleagainst a sunless sky. All nature sestned io liarmony with the mind of to-morrow's bride.The packing business kept Madame Leonard and Mary closely occupied all day, ao Beatrix was undisturbed. Sir Kenriekhod gone to Great Yafibrd to get the odds and ends to complete his outfit. Mra. Dul­ cimer was engaged with her dress for thewedding, which was being made at homo— a process which necewited frequent discus, sions and consultations with Rebecca andthe dress-maker, and which, undertaken from motives of economy, was likely to re­ sult in an expensive failure. Cyril wai notexpected till the evening. He was to ar­ rive in tiiue for the Vicarage tea, and was to occupy Mrs. Dulcimer’s second best spare bedroom.Beatrix had promised to call at the Vi­ sarage some time in the afternoon. It wasa visit she would have gladly avoided in her present frame of mind, but she thought if she did not go, Mrs. Dulcimer would ba likely to come to the Water House in questof her, and that might prove a heavier in­ fliction. So sbe put on her bonnet directly after luncheon and walked across the windybridge, and up the windy street to jhe Vi­ carage. It was between two and threeo'clock—a very safe hour at which to pay her visit, since Cyril was not expected until half past seven. She had heard bis letter to Mra. Dulcimer, in which ho named thetrain was to bring him. Mra. Dulcimer was in her bedroom with Rebecca and the dress-maker. Beatrixwent up, at the house-maid's request, and found these three stitching and talking asfast as tongues and needles could bo driven. The dress bad been three days in hand, but just at the last it was found necessary toput on an extra pressure to get it finished. Mrs. Dulcimer was sewing the braid on the skirt, Bubecca was pushing strips of whale­bone into the body, tbe dress-maker was cording a flounce. The room was strewn with snipping* of silk, satin, rairaanet, andlining, a* thick as leaves in Vallombrosa. Mrs. Dulcimer looked the image of anxiety. If shv had been a beauty of seventeen pre­paring for her first ball, or a young actress about to make her Atbal in London, she could not have boon more deeply concerned.* Oh, Beatrix, I am so glad you have come I * she exclaimed, without stoppingher needle. * I long to know if you like it.' It was the dress, now in scattered por­ tions.Beatrix looked pnzxled. * My love, bow aboent-nimded you are I * said Mr*. Dulcimer. * Of oouras yon can't judge of the general appearance till theflounces are on, and it all oomes together. Bnt you can tell me what you think of the color and the stylo of trimming.** Oh, you moan the dress,' answered Beatrix, with cruel indifference. ‘ I think that silver-gray is a pretty color.** Il's the new shade,* said Mra. Dulci­ mer. * You are sure it’s the now shade, era you not, Mis* Killick ? * >he asked, turningto the dress-makar. ‘ Yes, ma'am, it’s quite the now shade,' answered Miss Killiek, solemnly.Beatrix seated bereslf by the fire and idly watched the blaze, while Mrs. Dulci­ mer went on working. There was noimuch *nstained oonvereation. Every body oxoepl Beatrix was thinking of lbs drew. Mire Killiek and Rebecca had their mouthsfull of pins, and dropped a few whenever they spoke, like the girl in the fairy tale. After half an hour or so, Beatrix rose to go.but Mra. Dulcimer protested she mual stop till the dress was tried on. ■ It will bo ready in a quarter of an hour,won't it, Miso Killiek ? * she inquired. They wore all oitting close together now, Rebecca sewing the body to the skirt, thsdress-maker eewing on the final flonneo. * I don’t nppoM we ahal] be moeh tonger, ma’am,* said Mis* KilBek.' And at four wo are going to have a re­ freshing onp of tea,' said the Vicar's wife, ' so yon really ratui stop, Beatrix.'Beatrix oeuld net refaee so ssmII a favor. *n she wont on staring al the fire wtail* the three workera baatenrd the finish of theirteak, with tbeir haad* cloe* tosutbor, like the three fatal stotar* intent upon the web of some partinular destiny which Jove hadordered tbaru to hurry to its ooaslorion. ‘ There I' said ths three oitnulta&smwly, ‘it* done.'Five minutes later Mr*. Dulcimer was standing before her clnval-ghuM, buttonedinto hsr new gown, and trying to mahe it took as if it betouged to bar, «Mre fold ba*- 9be want in al ths wicksi gate in the angle of the ohnroh-yard, and followed the narrowpath between the crowded treadretonss, ernuiuunplactj mtuioriali of Lifmlui tin-eventful lives. The pathway took her by ths side of tho fine old parish ohnrob, dose by tbs vsatry,whish was surioutlj sqnoMed ia at an angle between transept and shanod, under tbs dismond-paaad casement,beside which■urpluos wars hanging, past the sunkendoor. Just as she came (o ths door it opened, and a man asms ont. , Sire gave a little orr, and .the whole soeae soemad to roek before her eyes—lbsdd gray wall, tbs crumbling tablets, the leafless elm branches, the tall black poplarsthat rose like watch-to wars between bar and the sky. Far a moment all were in tumultuous motion, as if a whirlwind Ladrisen. Then .with a great effort, she clasped the railings of a tomb doss by, aud com­ manded brain and body to ho still.A hand was held ont to her, and she took it with a mechanical air. Her lips movedslowly: ' Cyril.’ Only his name, and the ice was broken. Tbs next instant she had burst into pas­ sionate tears, and was hiding her faoeagainst the rasty insensible railings, any where, only to be out of bis sight. Her whole frame was shaken by thosesobs. Hs could not bat parcel vs—he could not oven protend not to perceive her dis­tress. ‘ Forgive me,’ he said gently. ‘ I am more than sorry that I came, if my pres­ ence grieves yon. I ought not to haveso jus ; but ’—he faltered a littlo here—' re­ spect for yon—regard for my cousin—madeit impossible for me to refuse.’ ' Respect for mo !' she exclaimed, bit­ terly, lifting np her head, and ehoking down her sobs with a desperate effort, justas she had held herself back from uncon­ sciousness a few moments before—' .p. ttfor mo. for a woman whom you oould be­ lieve a poisoner I ’ ' Beatrix, I never believed—' he began. ' You did not believe mo innocent, oryou would not have forsaken me,’ she said, confronting him with eyes that kindled asshe spoke. He could not gainsav her. She had spoken truth. No, not if all the world had been against her, not at the scaffold's footcould be have abandoned her, could he hon­ estly have believed her guiltless. But now that be stood face to face withher, now that he saw that noble counten­ ance, the splendid indignation of those eyes, he was as convinced of her innocenceas if he had never doubled her. His past doubts teemed madusu, or worse than madness—diabolical possession. ' If I had spoken with you after yourfather's death, ne said,' if we bad met face to face as we meet now, I should never have gons away. I would have borne thehardest things men could say of me—that I had married you for the sake of your for­ tune—that I had been ui'scrapulone be­cause you were rich. 1 would have laughed such poisoned arrows to scorn for your dear ' Yon left me,' she said, growing colder as he grew warm, gaining strength and firm­ ness as ho showed himself more weak.' Yon left me. That is all. Perhaps yon really never eared for me. Indeed, I have some reasen to know there was some oneelse you secretly preferred." Thai is wboly false,’ cried Cyril. ‘ I never loved but one woman, and yon *reshe.' ' What does ii matter? Why try to ex­ plain the past? It is all over and donewith. To-morrow will make mo your cousin's wife,and yon are come to assist at my wedding. Bnt how is it you are here so early? You are not expected at tbs Vi-carage till half past seven.' ' I came by an earlier brain than I inten­ ded, and having time to spare, I went in tolook at the old church,' he answered, hur­ riedly. ‘And to pray for strength to bear to-mor­row's agony,' he might have added, for be had been on his knees before the altar atwhich be had so often officiated, praying that tie burden might be lightened for him. There was a silence. Beatrix still stoodwith hsr back t > the railings that guarded the once splendid tomb of a knight banner­et ef Elizabeth's reign. She had jnst strength to stand calmly there, ateadily confronting her old luver, but she had no power to drag her limbs away from thesnot. She knew that if she tried to move, she must fall like a log at his feet; so she stood there, cold aud white as tho marblethe tomb was made of ‘ Beatrix,' cried Cyril, losing all masteryef himself in the bewilderment of being alone with hsr, close to bsr.as far from the outside world in that quiet earner of thechurch-yard as If they two bad boon lost upon tho 'wildest bit of moorland in the country—• Beatrix, why are you going tomarry Kenriek ?

From tfaaFrench rate rf tsriff duties now before ire, we find that duties as high as *100 or 1*0 per oent, are charged on many da^ptfaneof imported goods, which the French them- ■elves are in the htint of making, and nomanufactured articles enter bar market Itee of duty. Napoleon, the first Emperor of the French, in order io eripple British ia-dnstry, prohibited the importation of re-, fined sugar into Franco, aud in order (a supply themselves, the French were pelled to extract sugar from the beet.

You should net quarrel, gentlemen, at least notin pub­ lic places. Tho first thing you know even tho Chronicle will admit that your party is net a united one. Those in South Oxford who aro in fovor of seeing our country prosper have a candi date in Mr. Gibson of whom they may well ■feel proud—a young man possessing fine abilities, quite ablo to advocate their inter­ ests anywhere, and possessing qnolities- which eminently fit him to bo a member of Parliament. Tbo Conservatives are heartily united on him (except a few of IhoBO who dislike temperance) nnd they will be assisted in their support by a largo nnmbnr cf electors who have heretofore voted with tho other party, but who fh.d tbcniBelvca with raoro loyalty for their Country than for those whohnvo been ruin­ ing it for the past few years. Mil Ol ivec, not Adam but Thomas, has not yet been nominated in tho North Rid­ ing. Wt.uldn’i it be a joko on Thomas if bo shouldn't be, cither? Several other gontlemen are spoken of 03 probable can­ didates, and if any ono of them had a c'ique at his back like tho one in Ingersoll, tbo wires could bo easily pulled so ns to shove Thomas out. A clique in that case would not bo doing any groat harm, eitbor. Al thovoh wa nre strongly opposed to the election of Col. Skinner, we freely ad­ mit that be is a good sort of a fellow enoti^l os a private citizen. He is genial, kind-bedrted, chnriteLIo, end all that sort t f thing, but be is totally lacking in the necessary qualities for an M. P., and we do not wish to see him elected. Wo wish him no barm, pnd wo tljink electing bim to a position for which be is unfit, is doing him a yrors irjury, inasmuch as it places bim in a false petition. We aro charged by the Chronicle almost weekly with being a •’ libeller," “ slander­ er," Ac., and as some innocent people might possibly give'a degree of credonco to tho charges, wo clnim that that pnper should specify some one—one will do—instance in fvbicli wo bavo slandered or libelled a man of this town. It is an easy matter to say that a person is a slanderer, but the mere assertion of a thing, especially by the Chronicle, is not very convincing to any­ one now-n-days, except to ono extremely innocent; TLo Chronicle has been earn­ ing a reputation for somo time past, which, some of tlies* days not far distant, when it fully realizes the fact, it will very much regret to possess.

T.r.reuts* from all parts of the Riding ihow that tbo greatest unanimity prevails in the Cousor^tivo ranks. Recruits are being continually-added, and in such num­ bers that we have every reason to believe * Mr. Gibson’s election to be ensured beyond a doubt. This will be pleasant (?) news to time few Conservatives who “ have beer on the small side all their lives and were going to be on the big sides ibis time,” by voting for Co!. Skinner. They will likely bo forced to acknowledge on okcliou day that they mado a mistake this time. Mn. Pt feb has finished ono part of his work, which, as “ Mr. O’Goak ’’ said last week was to feel tbo way and sec how the chances stood for the election of Col. Skin­ ner. His work has been faithfully done, nnd what he has Itarned is very satisfac­ tory. to the friends of Mr. Gibson; aud equally unsatisfactory to those of tho Colonel. Our friends will bo glad to know that after duo investigation tbo Grits bavo ‘* thrown up tho sponge," aud allow that Mr. Gibson will walk tho track without a doubt. Wo thank Mr. Pyper from tho bottom of our heart for tbo lively part ho has played in the present contest, and trust ho may continue to tho end ; ns it is generally admitted that if bo were a friend of Mr. Gibson, and striving his utmost to secure lils election, he oonld not have done half so well for bim as he has done by op­ posing bim, Go on Mr. Pyper; if yon please yourself at all, you wonderfully please us. not refrain from calling tit the pavilllcn contarulrgelm-llar exhibit, here.

It is not because they have not had the dir position to do it, that those who ere run­ ning the present elections on tho part of the Grits have not brought up against Mr. Gibson any reasons why ho ebould not be elected, I) is simply because they can't da it. They can’t ray a solitary thing ageing him a man. neither can tbey sue- eeaafnlly answer bis arguments on the plat­ form. We don’t give tho clique the least credit for forbearance.

Mil Eorron,—Dkar Sir ,—Allow mo as rm attendant to the Union Temperance Fic-nic, held at Dickson’s Corners, on July 1st, to give you a brief report of the proceedings which I have no hesitancy in saying aaa one of the most succcMfQl of the searon. The tables were fully supplied with dainties of all dee- scriptions, and I must say ample justice was done to them hy the pic-nickers. The music, both vocal and in* tinmen tai, aud the recita- tions furnished by tbo local amateurs were ex­ ceedingly good. In reference to the speakers are regret very much the absence of Dr. Oron- hyatvkba, but all who attended will acquiesce with me when I state that the addresses a bich fell from the lips of Mr. J. 8. McKay and Joseph Gibson, Esq., were not of tha bombast style, but rich iu thought and had tbo true ring of temperance priori pies, ee]MciaUy the latter gentleman's effort Mr. J. B.

Notwithstanding tho excessive heat, which was a repetition of tlie four previous days, our townspeople turned out in full farce aud wore joined by hundreds from the surrounding country who had assembled to do honor to the day. At sunrise the peal of canon was heard and aroused drowsy sleepers to a sense of tbo blessing they enjoj*od by the will of a bountiful Providence under n liberal con­ stitution. Soon after the streets were alive by those who bad tho arrangements of tho day iu charge in making every preparation for a successful ovation. Flags and streamers were hoisted from all tho public and many private buildings, and when tlio town had assumed its gayest holiday attire it had a very pleasing nud attractive appearance. At 10 o’clock tho Hose and Hook and Ladder Companies’ races took place on Ox­ ford Street and-were contested with spirit. At hn'f-past twelve tho Firn Brigade paraded: t tho Town Hall, and after form­ ing in procession marched to tho park, headed by tho Ingersoll band, ttudcr tho leadership of Mr. Ireland, Band Master. 01 reaching tho park, tho assembled multitude gathered together in tlio beauti­ ful grove in the sr-uth cast angle on the rising ground, and C- E. Chadwick, Esq,, delivered the following ffdilrcss which was listened to very attentively by those pre­ sent and elicited a groat deal of npphiusC ns tho principal features of its patriotic strains we o utteiol:— THE XAYOn’S ADDRESS. Ladies and Gentl emen,—Invited tonduruss yon I appreciate the honor and nttrmpt tho task with a great tnis-tiust of my ability to interest you on so important an occasion, with mingled memories, sacred and pleasant, filling thepast with pence, plenty, a reasonable pros- Eerity nruiir.d us, and tho promise of a right future before us, wo ought to bo,and I trust aro devoutly grateful to God for all His goodness. Annual reunions like these will strengthen many social bondsnnd enlarge tbo sympathies, ns well as the ideas, of those who avail themselves of their advantages. Tha scone before us i-not only full of animation but of interest t<■ all who have the happiness and progress o! our people nt heart. It is uot merely ai;annual holiday, it is tbe anniversary of onr National existence, of tho dav when theantagonistic olemonts af the various Pro vinces of our Dominion were united in one Homogenous whole, and tho germs of anationality were planted from which we have reason to hope will grow a nation having tho imago and stiperscrin'ion of thatgreat Parent State whose iufluenco hat been so beneficial upon the liberties and social happiness of tlio world. Wo ntaetto-day to acknowledge with gratitude those blessings onr constitution has conferredupon us and to express to tho world nt largo our deep obligation- to those of our public men whoso efforts have been so btest in bringing about that confederation whichhas made of several disunited provinces n united whole, and .moulded into embryo,form those nspirat’ons ot our people that should lead to national greatness. Wo arc surrounded on all sides by those evidencesof thrift, nnd a certain undefined hops of our fitnro greatness which hads n* to the conclusion with a inoral certainty tbat thispeople will not go backwards. When I con­ trast our present condition with whit it lias been oven during tho short period ofmy own observations and experience. I am deeply impressed with tho surprising changes which have boon wrought nmong□3 within little more than Haifa century, i and am nrackgratoful in stating that thesechanges have been the harbingers of great - improvemente, and what, I ask, has boon tbo chief agency through which these . changes have been brought about? Ianswer, the industry, the perseverance and intellcgenco of eur people. This has swept! away the mighty foresto, prepared tho' fertile farms, reared the comfortable dwull-: ings, tbo more ostentatious mansions, the' edifices of learning, tho temples of religion. ' and filled tbo laud with smiling villages and (substantial cities. Hero, as throughout thoi civilized world tbe axe and tbo plow have been the pioneers of thia improvement, and r uaiicut toil and persevering industry has i made the wilderness to blossom as ILo rose. Wo combine antopg our people the bestenergies ol tho most Intelligent and most active nations of this world. The Saxon and Scott, the Irish nnd French, tbeHollander and German aro all mingling their blood amoug ns, may this com­ mingling form a product that shall developnil their excellencies without their defects, nnd may their highest aim bo to feel that this product represents a Canadian citizen.I say, then ns a people, we should have a grand ideal evar before us. We have nlreadly achieved what the old worldregards with surprise, we have united a continent, net worked it with railroads, excavated rnormjns canals, reared institu­tions of learning on a vast and liberal scale ; spread our comme ce over every sen; can raise nn army, if needs be, asbrave, as skillful, tu patriotic, and as large iu proportion to our numbers as those ofthe greatest uaticns of the past.. Iu science, in art, in literature, iu jurispru­ dence aud statesmanship, we bold no meanposition; and there miy bo those within the sound of my voice who can testify with pride bow this genius of uur people wasmanifested practically at the late Centen­ nial exhibition of our n ugh boro, our portionexciting the wonder and admiration of the world. Wo have a goodly heritage and our lines are cast in pleasant places. Honesttoil has given us comfortable and happy homes, while all the inventions and improv-tnente of this progressive age have cotna.to our aid. There may be aged men here who have heard In this valley tbe whoop ef thesavage, the voice that represents the past, and who hare been spare,] to bear tbe voioeof tbe engine which represente cfnlixatiou and the glory and promise of the future. Men will change, generations ccxno am! go,but still that voice will be heard in the valley by day and by night forever. Butamid our prosperity let us not forget our duties as citizens aud men. By prernntand example tot us cultivate aud sustain’* high-tone public morality, for this fa tbe foundation of social order, of individual happiness and of national greatness. Aboveall tilings, let us nourish and snstsin ourpublic schools, for in them die web and woof of our national destiny fa being woven. Let us remember tbat it fa not of as muchimportance what races of horses, or cattle, or eboep may roam in tmr fiehto aa whatkind of msn and women shall talto our ; M us endeavor to dere’op intelli- In our children, give them all theMtnshta? we can to ths sp»ngiuzto of life, taping brewdand deep ths fouodattoas of manbiod pod womanhood, and there willba light in tha Lome, skill in tha shpp and fruftfulnrro upon tbo farm. I want b) posterity, banding down the useful finite oftheir labors, not always to their children, 1 but always bestowing them as contributions | to the greatness and power of our common <country. Who that bM traversed those agri­ cultural ’ districts so lately wou from tho ;forest nnd the swamp without bearing in , remembrance eveu the most unregarded <-f , this generations dust, more impressivethan tlio aspiring shaft, more touebiug than the costly and ostentations memorials ot {our common mortality, are these too often ' neglected spots, where tlie rude forefathers 1 of the hamlet sleep now their work is done.If we do our duty us well as the gewcrati* us I who laid Ibe foundations of our present,prosperity, if the currents of social life .ire kept pure, then with all nnr nccumnlting resources for happiness, life in tbo futureaknil have a falluess, a beauty, and a glory of which wo can only dream. We ere tberecipients nnd trustees of long descended liberties of free institutions that have been fashioned nnd fought for i 11 our mother land.May ours be tho work of enlarging and pre­ serving this sacred legacy. With onr people rests the responsibility of sustaining thelaws and liberties of our country, knowing that politically all that we haw, and allthat we are, and all that we hope to bo de­ pends upon tho intelligence and patriotism of our people. It is well, then, that wehonor ibis the birthday of our National existence by such gatherings as those, audroheareo in tho hearing of onr children, who arc to succeed us, some of those pri­ vations and toils the early pilgrim pioneersstruggled through to secure for ns, these smiling fields-, these secure and happy homos, these kindly fruits of intelligeutlabor which they, by thnir indomitable p< r- sevcrcnce, straggling with aud triumphing over great deprivations era they gatheredaround them the moans of an humble liv­ ing. A relrearsul of what these pioneerssuffered nu I accomplished lias made a warm seat nt many a fireside, nnd finds in every rural heart n lioino. Uudisinayml bvdifficulties, unchanged by fortune they toil- ed on till they put nil enemies under their foot, made the gloomy forest shadows giveplace to sunshine, and gained a great vic­ tory over hardships nud circumstances. Weare re ptired. then, to do tint which in us lies to upho'd nnd advance this great in­ heritance iro u onr fathers under which wenro growing great nnd prosperous, nnd whatever destiny awaits us tnay that dear old flag, under whose folds it hns alwaysbeen our pride nud onr boast to rally, long continue to wave over us. Let ns yield a willing nnd cheerful obedience to the con­stitution and laws of our countrv ns the bulwark of onr liberties and tho libertifF of onr children, remembering tbat he whotenches deBi?rn*ct for them, undermines, the very* foundation!! of our prosperity and happiness.

Tho work they did on this Jny alone was more than conl l be in reason expected from ordinary mor­ tals, yet they want thronch with it man­ fully.

The illustrated p.i|»era renvnd one of while Current Events and the Round Table, ns veil as the double column 1 ccall the Cann Hun Monthly. The cover is a wholly new de­ sign, essentially national in its emblems, and altogether having quite a chuste ap­ pearance. The number opens with some chapters of “The Haunted Hotel,” by Wilke Collins, which give promise ol great interest. The magazie is edited by Mr. George Stewart, Ji., whoso literary r.-putation stands high. Altogether we must say it is highly creditable to both the editor and publishers, and promises well for that stablity ami endurance which have hitherto been wanting in a marked degree, in the periodical litera­ ture of the country.

Mr* Noxon in disscussing the matter objected to the last amendment as the duties of the committee were fully emunciated in the resolution appointing them and cited the duties as laid down by that reaokitiog.

This you see ia quite a loss to the raiser, and the hay first mown equally as good as that which was mown last. I have raised seed myself that went four and a half to the acre. I have also taken clover from the field in three different conditions, and laid away in the dry, for the purpose of knowing when was the best time to seed clover. The first state was then dead lipe ; second when hand­ somely brown ; the third ; still greener, and when thoroughly dry, rubbed out tho seed and put the three piles on a plate, and could see no difference. That which was cut the greenst was just as plump seed as that which was dead ripe. This shows that tho bead receives enough sustenance from the stalk after it is cut a little greener, you can save almost every seed. Always turn when the dew is on, so that tho bolls will not rattle off.” The best time to cut wheat, according to a Musouria farmer, is' " when it is just passing out of the stiff dough, or when the kernel is plump yit soft enough to mash with the hand ; but when so cut it must not lay many hours in the hot sun to cure, but should be bound immediately and set up in shocks very soon after. If tho wheat stand on haulin until ‘ dead 1 ipe ' it will make less and inferior flour, because tho bran will bo thicker and harder and will ‘ cut up’ in grinding, thus giving the flour a darker shade. Tho sheaf should bo of medium size and should bo laid by the right or left, as need be, so that four or five swatlies are thrown to ether, which will save much time in shocking.

The following is taken from the corres- pondi neo of the New England Farmer. Some very good suggestions will bo found therein : At a meeting of the Worcester Horticul­ tural Society, held to duscuss the “ Irn- provemeut of our Waste Lands,” Mr. F. IL Kinney said in substance, “ that the way to run oat mowings was to let the grass stand until nsariy ripe ; but if it were cut early, the hay would not only ba better, but the mowings would also hold •ut very much longer." Now, with regard to the inarehmd value of early cat hay. I can agree with him fully. I not only bo- tiro in cutting bay early, but practice it. But theory and observation both tell me that mowing will not bold out so well il cut early as if left until the grass is nearly mature. Tba same amount of hay taken in two cuttings, tho same season, seems to injaro tba permanency of the mowing more than il taken at one crop. This may bo accounted for from two causes. First > when grass commences to blossom—which is tho lime to cat It for the best hay—it is very much richer In albuminoids and phos­ phates, than when more mature. When it has completed its growth and ripened its seed, the stalk and leaves have parted with the larger part of their albaninods and phosphates, a part of which are in tho seed, and a part Lava returned to the roots, where they are stored np for starting the next sea­ son’s crop, and the balk of this mature hay ia formed of hydro-carbonates which are of little value to the soil or roots. I know this is at variance with the coipmonly ac­ cepted thwry that ripe crops exhaust the soil more than do green ones, but I believe it ia a acienlifio fact that green crops are the moat exhaustive, and it corresponds with my own observations. It was a theory of Baron Liebig that all plants left in a natural state to mature their seeds give back to the earth, in tbj form of excrementioas matter, a portion of their seed-forming substances, thereby di- niiniahing the weight of the grain or seed. This may account for the fact, which many of may have observed, that grain ie better wheu'eut a little green than when left until fully ripe, Now, if we cut grass early, whan it is in a milky state, wa got a light but very rich crop of hay, tor it ia (op­ posed then to contain all of the most valu­ able elemeete in a doable form, a part of which are returned io the roots after the seed ia formed. Another cause of tho deterioration of mowing* from early cutting ia that, if the grass is cut at tha best soavon for good hay that is, when it first oommenoee to bloom the roots are left in an immature state for they mu not grow without leaves to aid thetwand under thia treatment the bee graaare will die out, leaving only those wild, earlier sorts, which are indigenous to tho soil. Especially is thia true with timo- A Stroke of Love Lightning. I met recently an old friend, who, a fewyears since, was one of the most resolute aud philosophic of bachelors. He was grounded on reason, and be had at bistongue's end all the arguments Which distin­ guished anti-mAtrimonialista have.used forcenturies. He was nut fierce, he was clamand logical, and I have often remarked : “ If any man is safe from cannubialsperils he is safe beyond peradventure.” After exchanging greetings with my friend he blurted out :Well, I'm married. I confess it: but please don't tell ms that yon knew I should be ; that yon had expected it; for I am nofoul, and I have sworn a hundred times that to mo marriage was absolutely imposs- ble.”Subsequently be gave mo bis confidence. He was walking one moonlight evening on the beech with 3 young lady lie bad knownfor five or six years. She was a friend of bis sister, and he regarded her as n kind ofadopted ais^r. He bad liked her fur her aaund judgment, strength of character, and freedom from sentiment. They were walk­ing qnietly along diacussi'ug Herbert Spen­ cer. Ono of the last thin grj ie remembereddiatino.ly was that they were illustratingthe survival of tho fittest by examples with­ in their own knowledge. The next thing he knew be had proposed to her, and she wnsthrobbing on bis bosom like a volcano in eruption, and sobbing out that she had adored him from the first moment she badlaid eyes on him. “ Wasn't that rather queer," be asked, "for 3 young woman of extraordinarystrength of character, totally devoid of sen­ timent ? Well, I am devilish glad it bap-?eued, though bow it happened to this day have no idea. But you know I'm always looking for the cause of things. I wonderstill what nut us iuto’tbat passionate mood —us, who had always be»n so self-contained in one another’s society?

" And I've got to meet fire and life insur-anneo, pew rent, taxes, gas and------’’ " Put down what yonr noble heart dic­ tates,” she said, as she banded him thebook. Ho reflected for a moment and thenasked : " Will |5 convert a h«atben—k great big two-fisted heathen, with a stiff knee?”“ I—I think so." He figured with pencil on the bottom ofa chair and said :“ Five dollars into two hundred pounds of heathen is forty pounds for a dollar. That is, leu sec—nm—ten pounds fortwenty-five oente, and nona to carry. Divide the dividend by the divisor, cutoff the cubefoot, carry nothing, and madam, you take this quarter and convert ten pounds of heathen for me. That's all I can spare —no uu talk—leu pounds—hero comes hisHonor." She went away, puzzled and amused at his figures aud Bijah looked after her andmused : •‘I ought to have taken a mortgage on my share of that heathen, but I’m just thatcareleu in buainaaa affoira.” Fr e d .
