Before Cyril had bcr-n nt Litflo Yafford a month he contrived tn get tho school-muster transferred to a more prof.table sit­ uation forty milca away, and to get Em-rtianncl Joyeo accepted as masterr.pon pro­ bation. Ho was to do the w< rk for n quar­ ter without remuneration ; and if ho suc­ceeded in pleasing tho Vicar and church- wardens, was to bo engaged, al the end of that time, nt tho haudsomo stipend of five- nnd-th rty pounds a year, with a coltugoadjoining tho school, nnd an allowance of cnalannd candles. This in Yoiksliiro twen­ ty y*ars ago was to bo passing rich.It is hardly possible to conceive gtenfor happino^s tliaji that of Mis. Joyco and her so:i when they came to taka possession oftheir cottage at Litile Yafford. Tho rustic benuty'of the village, the grandeur of tbomoor, where golden patches of furze bl«s- som blnzcd here nnd there upon tho dull purple ground, the blue riv< r winding enp-riciotulv through the valley, the dark pine bnincbcF gcntlv swaying in the A mil breeze, the gardens bright with spring flowers, t;,r>tilvery blackthorn in thn hedges, the prim­ lady's friends—as to his intentions. Now that she was mnrried ho bad certainly noueed to be uneasy on that score; bnt the reculhclion was an uncomfortable eno, nndho hnd a feeling about Mrs. Piper much too nrnr dislike to bo altogether Christian. Belin, jn nil tho fullness of her new pow­ers, was not a person to be easily kept at a distance. She wanted captives at hor char­iot wheels to make her triumph compl-.tr,and sbo wms particularly anxious that Cyr­ il Cnlverhouso, who, according to bcrovuidea, had scorned her in Ler poverty,shottl I see and wonder at her splendor anil ele­ gance. She pestered him with invitations,all of which ho found it impossible to de­ cline without maikol discourtesy, num eapecialy ns Mr. end Mrs. Piper were ro-eular wornh:ppen« at tho p irish cht ro’i.aud liberal subscribers to all local charities.Bi’lln had taken it into her head to re­ceive her friends upon ono particular dsy ; Litile Y7nff.»rd— _____rLady Jano Gowry, who wos a privileged eccentric—and bad rather a foreign flavor.At tho beginning of this institu ion visitors were eluw to arrive, and Bella found it rather a dull business to sit waiting for them, looking her lovliest in a dress justarrived from Paris, but with ncbjdy Lut Mr. Piper to look nt her. • Yon looknneomtnonly prettv.my dear.’ Isaid that devoted husband, walking up and , down Lis blue and gold drawing-room ns irestlessly ns a polar 1-cnr iu a engn, * but I I can’t say I bold with this new rtyle of vis­ iting. >f you was to nsk people to a jol ygood dinner, they'd l-o sure to como ; ify. u asked ’em to n friendly ten, I d:,re say they'd com ,!hough they might think itlow.

She lectured her husband for bis cultiva­tion of Chnrnnry, but sho was wonderfully polito to Mr. Cbttmncy himself. She fear­ ed him too much to be discourteous to him. CHAPTER L. CAPTAIN STANDISH.

Cyril wa« going to allow him t- n sbillh'ga a week during .this time but the frugal widow could manage to make it F«rve, nud it wns a great di al forCyril to fcive cut of Ins small mer.es. Bcfi re a week wri ended everyU.dy con- ecrneJ wr.s nt-reed that Emmanuel would<lo. Tbo children liked their new master. There wne rome-tbing in his qm< t manner which won both liking nud respect. It wrs thought that ho knew n great dtal. H<*had tr.ke n the trouble to explain things to bi* pnpik. He bad enlarged upon the meagru history of England, in which theKings and heroes, politician* and church- mon, wero the merest shadow*, and had told tbo boys of the gnntneM nnd powerthat bad been in their native Land aince Al­ fred thn Saxon kindled tbo light of letters in a barbarous country. The more intelli­gent of thn boys were delighted with li ra ; even the stupid ones brightened under his tuition. Ho was so keenly interested inhi* work. Tho pupils could hardly find their lessons * burden when the mastertook so much pleasure in them. On Buiv’ay bo sat at the end of th* church, with bis pupils ranged before himon a row ot benches beside the organ.lie kept them in wonderful order, and tlie occcsi' nal dropping of marbles and at­ tacks of spasmodic coughing which hadbeen apt to disturb the congregation under the rtrla of Emmanuel’* predecessor were no lontjer beard.Cyril wns delighted nt tbo success of Lis scheme. The Vicar and ebureh-wardenrdid not wait for three months of probation to come to an end before they exprosse-l their satisfaction. At midsnram-r, Em-mannel Joyee was formally appointed schooLujMter, and hia salary began fromlliat time. Th* school-house was beauti­ fully kept by Mrs. Joyce, the cottage and garden were » picture of neatness, unsur­ passed by any Ji<m«e nr garden in LittleYafford. Cyril had the <hep delight of knowing tlrnt he bad made two pec pie happy. His own life wept on very quietly *11 this time, He Wi* C’rtainlv h.ippur alLittle Yafford than beevereon'd have been at Bridford. He had plenty to do, and hia work was successful. He saw the churchcrowded on * Sunday evening, and knew that p*optessame from far and wid* to hear hhn preach. Had ha been vain of hisnewer *■ * preacher, hia vanity might have been fully satisfied. The week-day *er-v ices were well atte nded. The people led bett r lives than when he had come among them. There was te*» drunkent is ; therewere fewer brawl*. Over the young peo­ ple hia influence waa all-potent. He gave * more intellectual ton* to their liv«», Hehad opansd a reading-room,which was now * aalf-anpporting and self-governing iukti-tatten. but R* conimittce aiwnvs looked to him for advice in the choirs of books. He raw * good deal of tbs Dnlcimer* it»his ocearion*] leiraro hours, and with the kind and genial Vicar ba wra always h*t>-py. Th* keenmt pong that he felt in all hia sad mem'-ri** of th* past was wh*n he passed th* Water Honra, and raw its dark­en kJ windows, and remembered that shewho should have reigned Ibero as a centre of light and heppinera was • wanderernone knew where, b«r fair fanw ovwahod- ownd. her youth Uigfaled.

He was alank, lean man, with iron-gray hair and whiskers, thick black eye-brows, and an intelligent erpreesion which atoned in somemeasure for hi* gaunt ugliness. H* loved Ebeneser Piper with th* affec­tion of * faithful dog that has never known but one toaster, and with regard te all the rest of tbe world b* was strictly misan­thropic. He v m not * scandsl-mnnster. like Mis* Coyney. He generally thought the worst of people, but he always kept biatbougbteto himself. H* believed every bnsiuera man, except Mr. Piper, on innaterosue *e i on tb* verge ef inecdverx y, bnt he gave no expression to hi* doubt*. TI*w*s not a lively companion, no for M eon- venmlion goe*. but ha waa an aecompiishad listener; bo bad th* art of looking ineffa­bly wise, and of appearing to be able ta gir* m imm«*ae deal of information if ha hod hot preferred to withhold rt. He waa1 ke the crew* Ixsrd Thoriow. Nobndv CbanMMiy looked.From the boar eh* bwame acquainted with Mr. CBumney, Bell* had bated him.Sbo did not know why.

She thoughthim riever, and sh«h*d • lurking ide* that tho portcullis of pride. 8hi dripped ngood many of those ultra-genteel pio'ess- ional pooplo against whoso importineueo Mr. Piper had protested, nnd she openedher bouse freely to her husband’s commer­cial allies of the past—tho Wigcclls, tho Porkmans, the Timjierloyg. and a goodmany more of tho same cliss. | When she had made these people umler- tstand that her Thursday afternoon rccep-| tion meant something lively and soci.nl.lo. she was no longer without visitors. Tue midsummer weather suggested a tent onthe lawn, whore ten nnd claret-cup, straw- berrirs and eream, might bn taken athidst the pet fume cf loses and warbling of black-bir Is. Archery was introduced ou the long stretch of grass on tho oilier side of theha-hn. Mr. Piper insisted on having Amer­ ican bowls for himself and friends in au <dd-fiiHhioned garden on on* side <>f the bigsquare mansion, comfortably shut in by a dense Lolly hedge—a retreat where a man might smoke a clay pipe aud be vulgar atlijs cnee. The Wigzdls nnd their compcern n’lI enmo in handsome carriages ; nnd if tho men were somewhat riven to eccentricity in t^ir hats nnd collars, tho women aildres«od in tli« height of the fashion. But th- ir hi"best claim to Bella’s favor was tho fact that they brought very pleasant peoplein their train—officers of tho regiment stationed at Great YniTord, cl-.rer youngbarristers, lawyers of higher standing than the starched solicitors who bad retired to cultivate their ros«-s and air their self-im­portance in the pastoral seclusion of Little Y ifi'ord. Bella perceived with delight that even these manufacturing people could bouseful to her. By midsummer Mr®. Piper's Thursday afternoons, which Imd nt first been suchdire failures as to provoke the sarcasms ot Miss Cnyney nnd her set, had Income so successful that Miss Coyney now found snt apart with one of her chosen friends,br.-nthing condemnations of this new phase of wor dlincss and frivolity. Miss Coj’uey liked the strong Da nnd unlimited bound-cake, tbo claret cup and strawberries and cr< uni, and better Etill did sho like the large opportunity for scandal which thesegatherings afford*,! her. ‘ Poor dear Mrs. Piper! ’she sighed, meaning tho lady reposing under the snmp-titeirt tuunntnent of tunny-colored tnnrbles. ‘ If she could only como l.ack to earth for nn afternoon aud look upon this scene !If!’ • Ab,’echoed Miss Coyney’* friond.

She would b* surprised, pour dear, wouldn’t sho ? ’‘To think of the waste going on in the servants’ ball now, my dear,' continued Miss Coyney, with the tone of a Hel rowprophet bewailing tho follies of liis mis- guided nation. ‘ It was bad enough iu tbofirst Mrs. Piper's lime, though there neverwas a more careful housekeeper. I’ve heard her lament it many A day. IVhat must it bo now I ’Miss Coyney opened her eyes very wide as sbo dwelt upon this awful question, andpoor little Mrs. Namby,who always agreed with everybody, but wished barm to no­body, opened hers in sympathy. • Ah,’ she sighed. ‘ She’s very young, isn’t she ? You can’t expect much care­fulness from such a pretty young thing nsthat.’ ‘ Pretty yonng tliing.indceJ! ’ cried Miss Coyney, conteniptui u dy. We’vo all beenpretty yonng thing* in onr day.’ Tin* was au assertion which, taken in conjunctionwith Miss Coyney’s present physiognomy, was rather difficult to believe. • But did that absolve us from doing onr duty ?Would thnt have excused us if we'd been given over to drew, nnd dissipation, and—’ here Miss Coyney made a long and solemnpause—■'flirtation ! ’ ‘ Oh,’ cried p»r Mr*. Naruby, almost jumping off her garden chnir. ‘ Praydon't say that. I hope Mrs. Piper has teo much respect for hcrnolf as a young mar­ried woman lo be guilty of flirtation.’ • I say nothing,' replied Miss Coyney. • I,ook at that, and judge for yourself, Mr*.Namby.*‘Thnt’was a* pretty a picture of light­ hearted youth as n painter of modern man­ner* need have cared lo paint. Against the green background of beech boughs, bright with their midsummer shoots, npona carpet ef velvet swan!, stood two figures apart from the rest of the revelers—a man in gray, tall, wcil-iuatle, good-looking; awoman in an archery dress of Lincoln- green, setting off a form alight and delicate enough for one of Diann a nymphs, a batand feather, rt la Rosalind, poised lightly on her burnished auburn hair, nent littlehands, in tan gauntlets, and a tall bow that became her a* a fan beoouaes an An- dalnsian.The man iu gray waa Captain Standish, the crack captain in Ute crack regiment then stationed ai Great Yafford.

Hia brother effijerw had come very often, from the blua-nosod col­onel to the callow cornets, and had eaten and drunken and been jolly with Mr.Piper,nnd voted tho wholeeHtalmshaient ‘capital fun.* But Captain Standish was a differ­ ent order of bciug, aud never went anywhere till lie had undo people sensible of his importance aud exclusiveness by hold- ing himself aloof. Tho Misses Porkmanand the Mimes Wiirzel'Yarely went any wliero without ono of the callow cornets in thoir trnin. Mr.Purkman wan on the mostintimate terms with Colonel O’Shaughnes­ sy, tho blne-nosfld commanding officer,who liked the Porkmau cellar and the Porkmancook, and ww not too refined to tolerate the Poikmans thomsdres. Bat CaptainStandish was not to be Ind so easily. Cooks nnd cellars was different to him. Ho afft cied a Spartan simplicity in bis diet;drank only tho driest champagne,and that rarely; dimd on a riico of mutton and a tumbler of Vic by water; frankly avowed hisnbhnrence of dinner parties; refused five in­ vitations out of six, nnd niter accepting thosixth, disappointed bis host at the rieventh hour. Cun it bs wondered that in a society of newly rich provincials, Captain Standishwas eminently popular? His dog-chrt—severely painted darkestolive, black harness, no plating, high-step­ping brown horse; neat groom in olive livery and unexceptionable bo?t.«, plainbl ick bat and cockade—made a sensation whenever it appeared in the high street, or flashed, metoor-like. past the broad plate­ glass windows of the viflos on the LmdonRoad. Polla 1 nd heard of Captain Standishboth from his brother officers an l from the outside wsrid, until she know his excellen­ cies ami accomplishments by heart. Shewas insj ired with the same desire to culti­ vate Lis rcqunintauce which agitated femi­ nine society in tho brand-new Granges,Mo»i». and Manors round .Great Yafford. The Porkmans had met him at a fancyball, where he had stood ent from tbo tin- seled King Charleses and the apmgled Black Princes, and the theatric* 1 Brigands and Troubadours, in the acton dress of aSpanish bull-fighter. He had once accep­ ted an invitation to dine at the Purkmans’,bad dDarpointeJ them ut the last moment, and had called a week after. Tbo Misses Porktuan had forgiven the ungracious dis­appointment on account of the gracious call. • He looks lovely in morning dress.* naidBlanche Porkra.an, who was youthful and enthusiastic. • If you knew him you wouldrave about him.’ * I never rave about people,’ rjtnrued Bella, with dignity. ‘And I don't in thoteast earc abopt kno wing this Captain Sian dish.*‘ This Captain Standish,’ echoed B’ancheindignantly. • You needn't put a demon- strativu pronoun before him, Mrs. Piper.Thera’s nobody else like him.’ In spile of her affected indifference B?llawas bent uoon bringing Captain Standish to the Park. He had called upon tlio Pork­ mans. Was she with her advanced ideasof elegance and Ler unlimited cap^ity for reading French novels,to be of less account than the Pvtkirans ? Was that overgrownBlanche, wi h her drab hair and complex­ ion and goggle ovea.to Ix sat of an acquaint­ance beyond Bella’s reach ? • The next time yon come, colonel, yon must bring Captain Standish,’ said Mrs.Piper to the cordial O'Shaughnessy, after that gentleman bad dined copiously at Mr. Piper'sexpense.and told alibis tiger stories,in which lie was apt to lose the tiger iu a jungle of irrelevant uarenthesis. - ‘ Madam, if I live and he lives till nextThnrsdav, Standish shall do homage nt the alnineof bennty and elegance.'protested th»colonel, which was merely his way of say­ ing thnt Captain Standish should come to Me Mrs, Piper. The following Tlmrvclay camo bnt noStandish. Another sod another Thursday, aud the colonel still appeared, apologetic and disgusted. That fellow Standish wnperfectly incorrigible, be declared. Bui this was tho fourth Thursday, aud Captain Standsh was here. * Madam.' said the colonel, introducing his junior, * I have kept my promise. If this fellow had tried to pul me off to-day, Ishould have logged him here by the hair of Lis head.’ •And if I bad known Lew charming—aplace I wns to see.I should have come ag-a ago, witb< nt your iuteferenee, colonel,'said the captain.Thera wars break in the sentence,* look iu the cai'tain’s eyes, that said in plainestlanguage, ‘ If I bad known what * livelywoman I was to see,’ etc.,etc. And Bell I. having Lately graduated in the novela ofCharles de Bernard,thoroughly uudsntood the look nnd tone. Mr. Piper also was gratified by CaptainStandish* visit. Hia friend Timuerky Ind bnwgtd of his familiarity with th< captain, bis friend Pori, man had boasted ofthe captain's morning enll. Mr. Piper did not wish to b* behind those compeers cf hi*. He had felt himself at a disadvantagewhsn they were lauding the all-aeeomplisD- elS'andish. ‘ Well, Bel’er. my love,’ ho said, whenthe gnest* had departed, and h* sat down to * tete-a tele dinner with hia wife, wbo was quite exhausted by tire esres aud tri­umphs of the afternoon, * I'm glad we’ve bad Captain Standish at on* ot our Thurs­day*, since people round Great Yaffcnl thick such a lot about him. but I don’t *•• that be is any thing so wonderlnL Hs'svery much like all the ether military m»nI’ve seen—extra well got np linen, a neat cut boot, aud hatr cropped a* doe* ** *convick’*.

Mr.Piper was enjoying himself among bis friends st Great Yafford. Thera was aclub in that commercial town, ut which Mr. Tiraperley and Mr. Porkmau aod theirassociate* araembled daily to road the newspapers and discuss tbs money market.They were *11 strong politicians, and talked of politics as well as the stock exchange, but they contemplated *11 public events'from one stand-point. What would b* tho effect on the money market ? How would this crisis in Franc*, er this artful move onthe part of Russia, or this pretty pioce of business at Vienna, affect the demand fur cotton ? Would Palmerston’s test greatspeech steady the priee of consols? Mr. Piper went to hia club oftener now­aday* than he hod gone in the first Mrs. Piper's time. Bella was making him a man ol fashion, as ha complained aoma-litn**, with * .fatuous delight in his young wife’* frivolities. She oonld drive (lim into Great Yafford in her pony carriage in thomorning, do an hour'* shopping at Ban­ bury ’* or get a new novel at the circulatinglibrary, aud fetch him in the afternoon in her barouche, after making two or tbreorcalls on the commercial aristocracy ; for what is the use of having fine clothes if you cannot show them to somebody, or acarriage and pair if y*u cannot keep it standing at some one's door? Bella heart­ ily despised the Parkman*. Timperleys,Wigzells, and all their set, but she was by nature an actress, aud must have a stageand nu audience of some kind. Thus it happened that Mr. Pip»r was nt his club, and Bella reeeived Captain 8land-i-di alon*. It was a lovely afternoon, lite’ tewn steepe<^in sunshine, the flower beds almost too dazzling to be looked at, theroses in their midsummer glory. Bella re­ ceived her visitor in the garden. She wasfond r,f sitting out-of-doors.

Perhapsshe knew that aho look’d hor prettiest in the garden, sitting in a low basket chair in the shade of spreading limo branches.It ws» just tho afternoon for archery,not n breath of win! to blow the arrows about. The noble old beccliea shaded the longstretch of sward where the targets had been s-'t up from tho fioroenosj of the sud«and mide it porsible for an entburiastiotoxophilite to enduro the midsummer heat. Bella n>nd* quite light of it.‘ I adero the summer,’ sbo said, when C ij tain Standish expressed bis fear that she might find archery too great an exer­tion, with the thermometer at seventy-firs in tho shade. ‘ 1 think I must belong to th« oat family, I so enjoy basking in tho aun.’* So do I, said the Captain, who looked as fresh aud cool as if he bad just eomaout of a water-curo establishment; ‘ and I detest tho people who go about the wor'dmopping ihepisolve* and grumbling at the heat on ev4y decant summer day." B->1* blushed. Mr. Piper had an nn-plenum! way of mopping his face .with * brown and yellow bandau* on warm after­noons. Site felt that there must bo many habits of his that would jar on CaptainSmudish’s nenes if fever they camo to La Ultimate. The lesson was delightful. The captainwas n firai-ral-» master, and after about an Item’s hard work, B Pa’s arrows brgan to fly straight to the target, instead of takinga slanting direeti m and losing tlirtnselvet under tlio beeches.

They havo read the G/obe and other papers of like principle* for years without comparing their state - menu with tho** of th* Conservative pa^ per*, and have taken them as gospel. They hare believed that their party wore honest­ ly striving for the welfare of the country ; but “ truth will out," aud in this case, al­ though uot intending to do it, perhaps, the Ml Elgin “ leader” who writes for the Chronicle plainly admits the corn—“Party first, Country after"—by which he give* those t lectors who are in favor of something more loyal—"Country before Party"— something to ponder over. No honest elector will allow himself to support the ce.ndi'tato- ot» party that considers eur sounlry of secondary importance.

Lave heard nothing of the WoodsfOtJt Oli­ ver, except that ha was at Tharaesford on Saturday night, at a meeting of Mr. Gib* - sod’s, Mr. ChnrL'oD, Mr. Pypesv or even tl e pliant Culcnel Lm'self. That they, ex- crpfL’g perhapr the Coi'^ud, Iravo given u® all hope of success at tho p'n lh’ wo can eas­ ily believe.

SAinaer ran last time with the o-idj at Lae outset apparently largely agiuasl h jm ; still he was elected. Ho may _ befarva a good deal in " luck,"aud feel that • zine thing might occur again. But "Xtea Colonel will bear iu miud that tho cir* . / cuinstancc* are entirely different now. Then, ho was running against the Inger- •oil clique. Now, he has the clique as bis foremost friends.- Most peoplo were death against die clique then,and it will be found that tlrey still arc. If any cbango takes place iu th* feeling of the electors before polling day, the Colonel and his supporters may rest assured that it will be, as it was before, unfaverabto td the success of the candidate mu by Ute clique, aud just so much more favorable t> Mr. Gibson. Our l ocal contemporary does not dis put* the adiniMi. n mad* Uy its Mt. F.lgiu political friend—that th* Grits place “Party before Country"—therefore we must be al­ lowed to infer that that paper considers it an indisputable fact. Wa have always been aware that it was the heaviest plank io their platform, so it is nothing new to us ; but after th* amount of trouble aud false acting ou the part of the “ pairty" to keep the people from believing it, mustn't it b* rather humiliating to have toaekuow- ledge it after all ? Political matters in South Oxford have settled down into a quiet state, and are running along in a groove which gives the utmost satisfaction to the triendk of Mr. Gibson—the Conservatives and tha sup­ porters of tire National Policy. Wbile everything is in o stats of serenity for this portion of tire electorate aud their candi­ date, the Reform party aud their nominee, Col. Skinner, are all at loggerheads, aud in a peck of trouble concerning the result of tho coming contest. They look forward to the inevitable future with fear aud tremb­ ling, and bemoan their unhappy position in outspoken epithets which are as doleful as they are laughable to those of their op­ ponents of whom, they make confidants, and to who,, for want of more congenial sympathisers, they turn to seek condolence u the very unenviable petition in which they nre placed. One wing of the party with their Ingersoll organ at their head to to.t them on, are loud-mouthed in their as­ severations ot tho unitedness aud strong th of tho party, but theso assertions fail to carry conviction, aud tho caeual observer is amused, if nothing more, to hear tire occasional outburst of some refractory member, not altogether imbued with the idea that discretion and a reticent tongue is tho better policy. They can see plainly that the party is not as thoroughly united as it should bo if their object is to win, aud they are too honest to conceal the fact. Others there arc who can only see defeat staring them in the face, as matters now stand, aud who would do almost anything to get the Colonel out of the field in order that a stronger, more ablo nnd popular man might be brought forward to save tho Riding from tailing into tho hands of the •• vile Tories." Thon, again, there ia a large class of voters who have for years past voted on the Reform side, because they wore led to bolievo that when that party, which professed so much, got into power, they would institute a now code of logistaliou so tar in advance of anything they bad boon accustomed to,that the coun­ try would leap with joy and prosperity, but Cnfiing that tlrev wore deceived- they are now wjlling to go back to tho old state of things, if may lie, rather than to keep on under the present unsatisfactory backward- instead-of-progressivo policy of Mr. Mac­ kenzie and bis thirteen highly-salaried in* capable ministers. They are willing to for­ get party for tho good ef the country, and they will go to the polls prepared to be guided by reason and the better feelings of iruo patriotism which should actuate men ia tho exerciso of their froaebise. This class of voters constitutes tho balance of power in every constituency iu tho Dominion,and if a candidate can fet 1 assured that ho bas q majority of these with him, bo way go to tjjft noils with confidouco that lie will be jBuccosu'fu1.

(Special) The limit of work for each room has been raised during the past year, but the percent­ ages for pa** and honor, are the some ru those adoptetl six years ago, viz., 60 and 75 respect­ ively. The teachers have all done their work so well that it has not been neccssxty to pux any specials except three or four who havelately entered the School, or whose age or cir­cumstances seemed to demand some relaxa-atiou of the usual restrictions. Miss Barker'sclass (No. 1 North) is the only one at presentcomposed of two grades, and her promotionclass is therefore smaller than the correspond­ ing class in the Central School. Thia explan­ation is due to Mias Barker, because the per­centage taken by her class was fully up to the class South, although placed at the disadvan­tage above mentioned. Twenty-two pupilswere recommended from No. 1 m candidatesfor the Entrance Examination to the High School ; the result of the local Examiner'swork will probably be published next weekJ. S.

Protection has enabled tho United States to bear an annual internal tax of 300 mil­ lions for the purpose of paying off an enor­mous debt. Free Trade has driven Canada deeper and deeper into debt. If the United States is allowed to monop­olize the trade of each of the separate prov­ inces of tho Dominion,political Annexation is only a question of lime. The nation which persists in exportingits raw materia), will end by exporting itsmeu. The imports of fish from lire UnitedStates in 1877 are valued at 4628,126. against 4692,855 in 1876. Of this amount probably one quarter is for lobsters,comingin free, while we have to pay a duty—not on the lobBtere-*-but on tho tin cans, yoqknow. , The Elmira Advertieer remarks that " lying is about the only business affording steady employment.' No wonder,the FreeTrade papers deny that there is a scarcityof employment in Canada. Protection is rapidly ruining the United States, the balauce of trade in their favorduring the last ten months was 227 millions ana ‘hey paid off 150 millions of their debt. If we cuiSd only rnauago to exchange a little of our prosperity, ^now, for some of that rain. Every bushel of American grain we im­port forces a bushel of Canadian grain to seek a foreign and less profitable market, compelling the Canadian farmer to competewftlf the serf labor of Russia, and with tho half clad and rice fed natives of India, in­ stead of enjoying bis legitimate nnd rightfulhome tnarkef. There is one imported Yankee in Hamil­ton preaching Free Trade,but five hundred thousand expatriated Canadians,one-eighth our present population,in the United Stalesbear witness against it. China appears to ba a pretty cheap coun­try to live in. Rice was never cheaper,butthe people havn't the money and aru dying in thousands. It proves the truth of theold saw that flour al 46 a barrel with wagesat 41 a day i* cheaper than flour ut 43 a barrel with no work.

Baj anff Hay -making. RKFOBTU* BY A. M. VAN AVKKN. The Brown County, Wisconsin Horticultur­ al and Agricultural Society held its June meeting at the farm of Stophen Burden, in the town of Howard, on Saturday, June 1st, the subject for duwtuuion being that wlugh. heads this article. The discussion w» opened with a paper from Thomas Bennet, who, after a little prelimin vry skirmishing, said that the quee- tion ot dollars and rente should cause ns to look to the interest our stock, if wo did so fx no other reason. It was a losii g job to let an animal lose in the winter what it had gunri in the summer, and then to have "deacon skins” to bring ns pocket-money in the spring ; but there was a higher princi­ ple, that of humanity to dumb brutes, that should keep ns from starving them on poor hoy. He cited several cases to show that by giving good feed we would gain one year in tho growth of an animal, soil that an animal could be kept thrifty on good hay and pasture. By way ri illustration, he said that he had bought some wood from a man, which was to be good.hard wood, but which when deliver­ ed, proved to be red oak which had stood several years after it was dead, and both bark snd sap were gone ; he refused to take it, ns his stove could not hold enough to keep his family warm ; and he believed that if our animals could speak, they would most strongly object to this dead liay with which, Although it han neither bark nor sap left in it, they arc compelled to satisfy their hunger during the winter, owing to the idea which many farmer’s bold,that hay should get its full growth, which means, that it should stand till its juices arc gone and its seed is rij*. The argument that cattle would eat too much hay if it were cut early, was like the economy d men who bought rancid butter. J. H. Potter, of Pittafield, spoke next. His paper went into statistics of the average production in Wisconsin of hay ami w heat, showing that while wheat took the most hirer, yet at tach census hay brought the most per acre ; that while wheat was all sold off tho farm and much of it went abroad, almost all the hay stayed at home, and much uf-it never left the farm. Hence, while the hay was tiie most profitable crop to raise, in itsactual money value, it was at the same­ time increasing the fertility of our farms, which the wheat was continually running down. In giving his experience with Lay, he said that hia fanning was on new land, and that he always tried to get a good " burn " ; then he dragged well with an A-harrow; sowed fsnr quarts of timothy and two pounds of clover to the acre. This makes the best yield of hay, but not the best mcalow. After it has been in meadow for some years, he plows it tip, gets out all the stumps he can, and plants corn. After corn he manures as well as he can—twenty loads to the acre if he has enough— fnd plants potatoes. The next spring, he harrows bis ground well w ith a square harrow, and sows his wheat, and with it six quarts of timothy and eight pounds of clover to the acre. His method of curing was much the same as J'.r. Canipell's. Porter Campbell, of Scott, was the author Of the next paper. He began by saying that the most natural food for cattle w as young and tender grass ; that in the posture they avoided all dead grass ; and that the nearer our hay approached to this, the better our stock would like it ; he would cut in ldo.*i«on for timothy, and use the tedder till well dried. Clover he would cut as soon as the heads began to turn brown ; use the tedder a little, and cock up ; let it cure in the cock several days, and then open out and haul into the boru. Care must bo taken not to let it getdry enough to crumble, as clover leaves are the best of the hay. He wosld cut as soon os the dew was off if there was a heavy dew ; if the dew is 1’ght, it will do no hurt President J. M. Smith now called on those present to discuss the subject, ask questions, etc. Rev. AVm. Crawford, of Green Bay, ’ made a few happy remarks and some ques­ tions, in reply to which Mr. Campbell said that if yon let your grass get ripe, you would have straw and grain ; if you cut your rye or oats green, you wccld have hay; timothy straw was worth more than rye or oat stryv, l>ut still it was only etraw. Tho writer said that he understood from their remarks, -that Messrs. Potter and Compile!! referred to tho proper time for cutting bay for market, and asked at what period of its growth it was best to cut clover for feed for milch cows ? 8. Burden said : " When boif or two-thirds of the heads are turned brown.” Win. Row boiham said : “When it has got its growth, 1 don't caic whether a head is in any branch of businca*. One dairyman will make more dear profit out of hia herd with butterat 2 J csuU^iuauoUtor with butter at 30 cent*. The increase of hit product per cow from selection and Ids unnagatneut in febding, will add to hia neighbor’s result more than the 3-; J per cent. The, one will milk his herd, year after year, without Ivaruiug any thing of the individual character of hia cowa. He does not know which ones pay or which run him in debt. He is of those whose who thinks a cow is a cow, and that all cows aver­ age about alike. A wise dairymen knows that tach of his cows has a character of her own, and that character determines hej value in the dairy. Ho knows tint, when dairy products rule strong in the market, it requires a product of 3,000 jiounds of milk to pay expenses. If a cow do«B not exceed that, ahe pays him no profit and often runs him in debt even for a portion or her food, when the milk is sent to the cheese factory. If the milk is used for butter making, he then knows that 2D lbs. of milk from some cows will make more butter than SO lbs. from others, and thus it is a qruwv.ity. One cow gives milk yielding very- rich, yellow, aromatic cream,another colorless and flavorless cream. The latter animal is acldo n worth keeping, even though yielding a largo quantity of milk. Again, a cow is often given a better charac­ ter than she deserves because she yields a large.moss of milk for a short tim» at tho flush, whilst her yield through the season is loss than that of another cow that gives only two-thirds an much per dny at the best, but holds outhcr milk two months longer. The value of a cow depends upon her gro,s pro­ ceeds per year, and not upon her yield <f milk for two or three months. AH these facts must be determined by a test of each cow on her own merits. Every dairyman should fix a standard,below which no cow should bo retained in tho per­ manent herd. This standard should not require the highest production, but rather such aver­ age yield as may easily be reached with good food and care. This standard will then be the yield of the lowest cow in tho herd,, while tho average will be considerably higher. No dairy­ man, who has studied the question of profit and loss in his business, will fix a standard below 4,000 pounds of milk per year, for this is the minimum yield on which a profit may be made. But he will often be able to reach 6,000 pounds or more,'and, with reasonable care in the selection, his average will reach ,5,000 pounds per cow for tho herd. And if butter be made, the yield should be 203 lbs per cow, with a herd of common stock. Yielding this average, and if they have been selected for richness of cream, they should yield 250 Un. of butter per cow. This will form a basis also for 500 lbs. of cheese per cow, and therefore should yicld.on an average for any term of years, nt least 850 per cow. bes’des what may be mode from tho refuse milk in letter making or whey in cheese making. The refuse milk, in butter making, should pay for the labor, leaving 8-50 for tl.c kacping, interest on the cost of tho cow, and profit. In chi esc making the whey is worth less then for pigs or calves, and would thus reduce the profits somewhat. The selections of these profitable cows may be made very easily by simply Weighing the milk one day in each week, if cheese alone is to be made; and if butter is to be the product, then in addition to weighing the milk, each cow’s milk, for a limited time, must In set by itself, so that the color, quality and quantity of cream may be noted, and the cream must ‘also be churned into butter, and tho percen­ tage of cream does not determine the percen­ tage of butter. A row whose milk requires more than 26 lbs. for a pound of butter should not bo kept fir butter making, but should be sold for cheese making. Now whilst dairy products arc low, the time is most favorable for selecting the herd, and weeding out all cows that do not come up to the standard for which the cows arc kept : -Hural New Yorker. ......ft -............................... — .............................................I -■- ..... ..................__ _-___________ THE OXFORD TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1878.
