Cyril walked to Gr< at Ynfford that after­noon. saw the bank managa*-, and nemr- taiiird from him that Miss Hnrefield hnd written to the bank, from Paris, for sixhundred p»uuds in circular notes, almost immediately nftt-r she left Little Yafford. She lixd drawn nothing eindb that time.The circular notes had been obtained by Messrs. Hodge & Turner, thringh theirLondon agents,from the Temple bar branch of the Union Batik. ' I’hn circular notes would go back to thebank that issued them, would they not?* msked Cyril. ‘ Naturally, hut there fa no rule as tothe time of their return. The local hanker who ershed a note might hold it over until hi< hnd other Villa to transmit. A consid­erable lime might el ipse before the notes gut Lack to the bank that i»sued them."* I shall go to the Union, and try to find out when mid where the notes were cashed. Miss Han-field has beea uway tn-'re thansix months. Some of the notes, i,t 1 nst, niiibt have cotne back to the bank. Will yon give me a fatter of introducti >n to thein iuagvr ? ' . Cyril hnd already explained that he bad a document of vital importance to conveyto Miss Hurcficl I ; that it was in her in- ICT»<t be g(.ucbl Irer.Tiie lo'ter wns written, and Cyril started by the mid-day train for London. He saw’♦ the manager of the*Temp e Bnr branch enrly next dav, and from bis courtesy ob- tai icd the following information :Five notes hnd been cashed in Florence) during the months of May and June. Three notes hnd been cashed in Paris on th? 21st of April.A note, hnd been cashed at Brest in Aug­ ust, one at Hennes in the same month, two at St. Malo in September.- There was nc-thing later than this. The notes bore the address ns well as thesignature of tbe wri er. On those last notes cashed al St. Malo the address was Hotel Chateaubriand, St. Servant. It was th* beginning of November. Cy­ ril was in a position to trace Miss Hare­ field's movements up to the 20th of Sep­tember. She might have remained even longer nt St. Malo. It was clearly there he mnst go. Happily for bis impatfance. which was extreme, the St. Malo boat sailed that night from Southampton. Within twenty-four Lours after he left the Union Bank, Cyril was in the broad windy street of St.Servnna. The proprietress of the hotel perfectly rememlierod Miss Hnrefield. They had many English visitors, but thia lady was so distinguished. She was at once so am­ iable and ao dignified. She and her com-,pauion hnd always dined in their own tai. ' on. They bad never appeared at the table, d'hote. They hnd engaged a carriage fortheir express use, and had driven about to all the interesting places in the neighbor­ hood. The Inndlaiiy was obligingly com­municative; but when she was asked where Miss Hnrefield went upon leaving St. Ser­ vant, her information came to a atop,There wns the visitors' book, in which Mias HarefloM and Madame Leonard had writ­ ten their amues, but beyond their namesnothing. * But these ladies must surely have given indri ctione for their fatten being sent af­ter them," said Cyril. * But no, monrienr. They received no letteis while they wen here; they appeared to expect none. * Did you never hear them talk of wherethey meant to go ? ' < * No, monsieur ; they were Indies of an 1 extreme reserve, silent even, al) that therefa of the most graciina—but never coin* munfcative. They left St. Malo by the 1 railway—that ie all I nan tell yon. They 'di I not leave by the K >g)iah tost/ 1 Cyril was at a stand-still. Ha teemed ' no nearer Beatrix now, at St. Malo, than 1 hr had been at Little Yafford. Six weeks | ago (he had been an inmnto of this hotel,but Iin six weeks the might have travelled to 1 the other end of Europe. She, who wan 1 as free as the wind, would hardly rare todawdle about the quiet old towns of Brit- I tany. i■Was Min Hnreftold well—did she w a < in good ttpirita T * he asked the landlady. * Alaa I no ; tbe had been Buffering. She ieante to St. Servant for the tea baths. She 1 needed strength. She had the air of one i who bad suffered enueb grief. Madame Leonard w»a always bright and ch earful, ) sod devoted to the young lady; bnt the iEagiiah mu» wte not bappy. That thawed 1 itte'f to the eye.’ I * Had the aay oavdteal attendant while ithe waa with yoa ? ' i ’ No, Hbe mocked heraeff of dootora/ tCyril thaaked the kindly proprielroee, <sn-J strolled idly u n r ftvm tbo hotel. He I knew not which dirartton to tabe. The 1 proepeot w m dfacouraging. Perhaps, after 1 all. be would be oompolled to put an ad- 'veriiMment in the Tunes, ioforming Bea- 1 trii. In tailed words, that a tetter of her <faibet'a aaraftad ber at a certem addran. i French architecture ; and all- ambitiousattempts at improvement looked as if they bad been nipped in the bud.Tbe was one rather pretty-looking honee, in a small walled garden, and before the door of this garden the diligence stopped,and tbe lady in the gray mantle alighted. A Fro noh maid-servant opened the gate and ran out to take the traveller's parcels, andthen mistress and mnil went in at the door, and tbe walled garden swallowedthem up. The diligence deposited Cyril at an inn in a sm <11 square not far from the cathe­dral, a good old house enough, where all things wc>a cleanly ami comfortable, aud where lio found a good-natured landlady,who was quite ready to answer his ques­ tions while he wailed for Lis table d'hotedinner. He describe-! the white bouse iu the walled garden just outside the town, andasked if she could tell him any thing about its inmates. It was a honso which let itself garnished,she told him, the owner being a merchant at Bonnes, who only came to Doi occaclon-nlly because it was his birth-place. Of its inmates madame knew nothing. She did not seem to know it was lot. It bad I eenlong unoccupied. She excused herself for this ignorance on the ground that she went out so seldom, Tbe house, and then thekitebon, occupied all her time, not to speak of her two little augels, who were exacting, like all children.Of the two little angels, one was then squalling lustily in the adjoining kitchen,room, with its dull brown walls, four-post bedstead and drab bangings—the weari­ ness of fever and delirium—the brightblack eyes peering st him from the shadow of tl»e white cnnvcntual hood. • It is my little nnrw,' he said tn himself, the elder of those two good women.' Ho turned and followed the lady in thedrnb mantle. It was strange to see her in a dress so different from her nun-like habit, but theti she had told him that she belong­ed to no conventual order. Once having given her tbe start, it was not easy to gain upon her, she tripped along so briskly, sndtbo street Ifrro close to th* market was crowded. Cyril was almost breathless when ho caught her.• Pray, luadamn, do not deny yourself to one who is deeply indebted to yon/ hat in hand, gasping a little. • When yon passedmo just now I recognized you as’one I well remembered, bnt I could n H for the mo­ ment reciill the circumstances of our ac­quaintance. I have so longed to see you again—to be able to thank yon.’ The li'tlo Frnnch woman looked at him with s most innocent stare. • Monsieur deceives himself,' she said, inher own language. ‘ I have not tbo honor of bis acquaintance/ ‘ Nny, madam>, you cannot forget onewho owes yon so much—perhaps life itself. You can not have forgotten yonr fever pa­ tient nt Bridford.'‘ Bridford,’ echoed tbe Inly. ' What is 1 that ? ' < • Oh, madame you are trifling with mo. i It is not possible I con bo mistaken. Do I you not belong to a nursing sisterhood, aband of h<dy women, who, bound by no re­ ligions ord‘-r, go about doing good, attend­ ing their ailing fiHow-creatures, withoutfee nr reward ? ' ' N<>, Sir, I do not. I never even heardof such a eisterhjod,' replied the lady, re­ solutely. • I must nsk >-on to pardon me then.Bnt it i« a most wonderful likeness. I am deeply disappointed,' said Cyril, allowing the Ja>ly to pass, with a mutual salutationof gravest respect. Ho was umro than disappointed ; he was mystified, hi spite nf the lady’s assertionhe conld not bring himself to believe that hers was not the face which he had seen by the sick-bed in those long hours of lan­guor and prostration, when be had nothing to do bnt watch his nurse's kindly counten­ ance and listen to her friendly talk.Yet if this were his nurse, why should she deny herself to him ? Wm that one of the rules of her order ? Was the ordera kind of Masonic association in good works—a secret band of holy women who disavowed their benevolent deed* after theywere done ? CHAPTER LXt. FAIB STILL, BUT FAIIl FOB NO ONE SAVINO ME. Cyihl would have liked to follow tbe mysterious lady, but that would have beentoo discourteous, ao he wandered listlessly in tbe streets of St. Malo for another hour or so, not knowing wbat to do with himself, and finally came to a stand-still at an office on the outskirts of the town, whence a dili­ gence started every afternoon for Dot.•• Doi," he said. •• Wbat is Doi ? I was never at Doi. I wonder if there isanything worth seeing at Doi, and if it can be possible that Beatrix can have gone 'there."While ho was wondering a hired fly drove np containing the lady in tbs gray mantle and a number of parcels of differentkinds and sizes. Tbe driver of the diligence went forward to receive tbe lady and ber parcels. Sbs was evidently a frequentpatron of his conveyance. He took pains to to install her carefully in the wretched interior.“ 1’11 go to Doi/' decided Cyril. “ I am bent on finding out who and wbat thia woman is. It will be only the loss of day,and I shall have time to think out my plane for finding Beatrix." It was foolfah, perhaps, be thought aft r-ward, to be ao easily diverted fr>m bi* path ; but then tba fact was ha had no path to take—he was fairly at a stend-atill. Heeould do no good by perambulating the streets of Si. Malo. Doi waa a' plaee to explore—the chances of finding Beatrixthere were as ninaty-nfae ia a hundred, perhaps ; but it wonlil be one town cheeked off the map of Europe, and bo would heable to find out aoneeibing about bis mys­ terious aiok-nurse. So Cyril mounted onthe eeet beside tbe driver, where he bad tbe shelter of an ancient leather hood to protect him from the wind, and where hefelt very easy iu hfa mind about tbe lady in the gray manti*. She could not escape him on tbe road. He questioned tbe driver about bl* passenger, but the man oonld tell himno lb mg except that the lady lived at Doi, and that she came into Sl Malo ence a week to ruahn her purchases. He eunltlnot say bow long she had lived there, ao ho had been ooby driving tbo didigem for amonth. They drove through boos and past fields and orchards, which were entirely Drett-fan in their a«psct, helled at a village tureeqtw and, tooth to ray, • little dirtier than * Devonshire villas*and. Anally ar­ rived, as the shade* of evening war* falling, at Doi, which fmprraaed Cyril at first sight rathe dnllcet town he had ever be­held.

Tbe yellow sandsby tbe Grand Be were deserted by their holiday crowd. Tbe cold autumn winds swept over tbe long low ebjres. Every­thing bod a desolate look. Cyril went into St. Malo to see tbe churches, which he remembered years ago, and spent a couple of h«dra looking at painted windows aud sculptured tombs.And then be wasted another hour strolling about the streets and the quay, watching the boat being loaded, and wondering whatbe should do next. And then ho went to the railway station to find out all about tba trains, with a vagne hope that some ideamight suggest itself as to Beatrix's journey when she left St. Malo. He waa on his way to the station when a face flashed up­on him in one of the narrow etreete, and passed him by before he had time to re­member where be hod seen it. Whose face could it be, and why was it so familiar ?He stopped to consider, and looked buck to see if the owner of the face was sttll insight. Yes, there she was. walking briskly along the narrow pavement, threading her way dextronsly through the crowd, a little Woman,neatly dressed in a black silk gown, and a gray mantle. Dimly as in a dream did be remember that face. , It mnst have been a memory of long ago, he thought. And then in a moment be recalled the scone to whichthat faco belonged—-his sick room st Brid­ ford—the old-fashioned wainsootted bed­while the other hnng to its mother's gown and scowled at the stranger. ' Have yon hnd many English visitorsthis season ?’ Cyril inquired. • Oh yes, monsieur, a crowd. Tbe Eng-lisb loVe so much our Brittany, snd Doi is the first town in Brittany. It is interest­ ing to the traveller were it only for thatpurpose/ ‘ Naturally. Since September now—the end et September—can you recall any Eng­lish visitors, ladies, who have been with yon ?’ • Bnt no, monsieur. After Septemberour season is over. It is late. Wa have bad no English ladies since then.' ‘ There are other hotels at Doi, I sup­ pose ?' 'Yes, monrienr, but this is tbo first.’ Cyril dined with a few aleetiy-looking in­habitants and a couple of sub-lieutenants from the neighboring barracks, and after bis dinner went to look at the cathedral,which bad a shadowy grandeur by tbe light of a solitary lamp burning here andthere before a shrine. After this he was glad to go to bod, hav- ing slept very little on board the St. Malo steamer. IIo put Christian Harefield’sletter under his pillow. * He was np before daybreak next morn­ing, and was out with the first streak of pale light in tbe east. Ho went first to look at the house which bad swallowed nptbe lady iu tbe graj mantle. He made a circuit of the garden wall, bnt discovered nothing except that there wore poultry onthe premises, a fact imparted to him shrilly by a peculiarly energetic cock, apparently of the bantam breed, so eager was he, likenil small creatures, to assert his import­ ance. There was no indication of tbe lifewithin to be drawn from tbe blank white wall, tbe closed Venetians of tbe upper windows, or tbe gilded vane upon tbe roof.Neighbors there were none. So he left the spot no wiser than when be had approach­ed it. The morning was lovely, tbe air balmy, despite the lateness of the season. It was just that calm, delightful hour when earthseems as fresh as if the Creator's work were but newly finished. Cyril set out ona perambulation of the neighborhood of Doi. His hostess had talked to him lust night of a certain Mout Doi as a thing tobe seen, so ho went to see wbat this Aloni Doi was like. Ho walked for about a couple of milesthrough a level country, somewhat Flemish in ite character—a country that had only the charm of utter rusticity to recommend it. Then he camo all at once upon a raw­ looking church of a common-place order, afew straggling cottages, and a steep, rugged- looking bill which roso out of tbe level plain with an extraordinary suddenness,lie climbed this hill by a rough road, which dwindled by-and-by into a narrow winding track, and mounted in the early sunlight toan undulating heathy bill-top looking wide over tbe blue waters of tbe channel. On this hill-top there was no human habita­tion, only a votive chapel and the white statue of a saint, looking down upon tbo quiet hillocks and hollows, the flunips offurze, and tranquil sheep cropping the dewy grass in tbe sweet morning air. Hebad never looked on a more peaceful scene. The world, life and all its cares, lay far below him; the blue wood smoke was curling op from ths chimneys of many- gabled Doi; the church tower aud ite stunted twin brother, tba tower that hadnever been finished, rose darkly above all meaner things on tbe level plain; white sails of passing vessels were shining yon­der againll the blue horizon. He felt him­ self alone upon this lonely bill, iu n serenar atmosphere than the air of every-day life.A saintly hermit of old time might have passed his contemplative days pleasantly enough in a cell adjoining tbe ehapel yon­ der. He rambled round the hllfatop, lingering every now and then to look landward or seaward, for on either side the prospectwas fall of beauty. It was a spot where any man with a genuine love of naturemight feel that he could spend hour* and davs of life akne with bis own thoughts and the peso-fol beanty around him. The big bell of Doi chimed nine, the bright autumn sun climbed higher in tbe blue clear sky, » abeep-bell tinkled, an elderlylamb bleated, a little abepberd bey sang his little nasal eosg, a late bemble-bee btrned from its late fonts bloom. There were no other sounds. Cyril made the circuit of the ehapel, which waa closely locked against intrusion.He looked at the stelae, and turned his face idly seaward for the twentieth time, think­ ing within himself bow foolishly hs waswasting bis day, and how little thia peram­ bulation of the Mont Dot would help bimtoward the aeoofanliahment of his mission ; and ns be was thinking thus, and as he turned from the statue to tbe aea, he found himself face to face with sometbrag sweet­er than the glad bine mb, dearer than all tbe wide bright earth, ths fooe ot tbs wo- ' From my father ?’ she cried, looking at tbe address, and then tearing open the envelope with trembling hands. • In Heaven's name, how did yon come by thisletter—from my dead father?

December 23/' she be-gan, falteringly. ‘Why, that was the night before his death,' aho cried. 'Read it forme. I can not eea the words. They swim before my eyes.’ Cyril stood by her. side, reading theletter across her ahoul ler. He put bis arm round her to bold her np, and sheleaned against him trem »ling, hardly able to stand. ‘ Mr foob Child,—When you open this fatter you will be fatherless—a lud* loss,for I have never been a father to you in any thing save the name.

I do not think it fapossible for a man to lovo as I loved, and endure the knowledge that his love was un­ requited, without having his nature per­verted. My unrequited love engendered suspicion, evil thourfite, hatred of myaelf and the thing I loved.• By a series of fatalities, which I need not set forth here, I was led to believe yonr mother false and unworthy—a degrad­ ed woman—a disgrace to yo i as she waa adishonor to me.

There must be no lagging because success look* easy. This will be the hardest fought battle, perhaps, ever fought in this country.

" This, wo suppose, is another reason why Mr. Mackenzie should be kept in jxjwer, and * powerful argument against the National Policy. We think however jt is a species of blasphemy, ami that David ia trying to rival Fnhnv Jo* Bymat. ALTHouan th* National Policy is a delu, ■ion aud a fraud, according to the Grits, tLemimbeis of that party are afraid to discnss it. Invitations are continually be. lug sent to the M. F-'* io and around To- rpnlo to meet at tb« Ampithealro and dis- cum protection aud fre* trade,but not one of them have responded to lb* call. And at their own westings they rein** to let Con­ servative* apeak in ^opposition te» them- If their arguments were so good as v'i«y pre­ tend they would only be too glad to whip the CoussrvaUves on the publie p’ntfon.i '• but they know they have g. 1 hold of the wrong side of lb* matter and that tbeir *r- gu mm Lisrs worth leas, consequently they don’t ear* about dweusaiug with their op- pmeute and 1st their friends ua bow easily they can i e routed. The hour manufactories in the country the more men there will be employed. AU will admit this, and most propio will auree with us that monufacti rie* iu opi-ratinn, with their armies of workmen, nre a bene­ fit to a country. Our Free Traders, how­ ever, do not appear to think so. Thev do riot b-.lteve in raising their hands towards bet It ring the p.-sitiuu of manufacturers or workmen, but prefer to let the manufactor­ ies bo dosed, tho employers ruined anil the operative* driven from the country. They say, let things go as they will ; we can't help you any more than “ a fly ou tin* wheel." And wbifa they are "letting things go cs they will," the people are leaving <>ur country, this country so prosperous accord­ ing to tbo Grits, and going over to be ruined by protection in the United states. Hun­ dreds of thousands oi Canadians Lave gone to that country during tho past few years, and many xnoro will bo foolish enough to leave and be ruined over there because the privileges to be enjoyed under our one­ sided Free Trade policy are not appreciated by them. It is estimated that for every American of the forty millions who comes to this country to get rich under Free Trade, seven Canadians of the four mil­ lions go over to that country to suffer and starve undar Protection. But there must be something agreeable in the way they suffer and starve over there, as others con* tiuually follow in their wake.

The Colonel has uot appeared ou the platform. Mr. Pyper tried it at three of Mr. Gibson's tueeling*, aud Mt tiro field ignominiously defeated. Thomas Oliver, Esq., M. P., of the North Riding, has mado two or three sorties, but o liged to retire when ho found that ha did not know sk much about tho subject «f a national policy, us Mr. Gibsou did, or if he did It did not suit him to udmitthnl Iro was compelled to stifle his honest convictions us expressed a few mouths ago, under the smart of the party lash. Mr. Charlton, too, found Himself in a very awawurd position before the elec- tors of South Oxford when ho endeavored to explain the how aud the why of bis mar­ vellous somersault between Uro years 1876 and 1873. The assistance given him by Mr. Gibson w as so salutary that be has not thought fit to appear again. Then Mr. Boss, af West Middlesex, who was an­ nounced to discuss the natioual policy, found it convenient when ho fouud Mr. Gibsen was to meet him, to change his subject in order to throw his opponent off his guard, but ho counted without his host aud found Mr. Gibson as well prepared to meet him ou his new taek, as if he bod stood his own ground maufully. Now, we are promised a visit from Mr. Mackenzie, Mr. Mills, Mr. Cartwright, el al. If Mr. Gibson is such a weak debater, aud of such little consequence, why trouble these great guus to waste their time upon him, especially when they have no time to spare out ot their own coustilueneiea. Why is be not attacked by some of our focal latent? . The question is easily answered. They know too well that they are not able to ' meet him in debate upon the public plat­ form, aud therefore abut the duty. them m tho minority* ns there is no Jottlt 1 they are at present. With nil their power I it would be, under ordinary circumstances, 1 n much hi-nvicr task to create tlin large i majority they now have in the House into n minority, but ns they have nothing to of­ fer the Country except the present depress- 1 cd St ito of trade, we ore encouraged by the fact that thousands of them are leaving th»-ir ranks nnd joining with those who have s* mething to offer, and we feel cc • tain that if proper work is continued to bo done, the victoiy is our*. In South Oxf rd wo nro positive of success if tho supporters of Mr. Gibson stand by him, and work for him in the snmo spirit thus far shown. They roust continue to exert tin msrlvos. Tho Ina- rs *11 clique are preparing to use some of their kind of political weapons. There is no knowing whnt tricks they are concocting. They nro uot very particular whnt they say or do in ordrr to pain n point. They need constant watching ; they are cunning and trickv ; and men who nro honornblo in election matters *h in every other affair, find s<mo of their dodges to meet when least expected. There is one consolation, however : most of the electors know the Ingersoll wire-pullers too well to be taken in bv anything coming from them, and it will b« the duty of these to prevent those who are unacquainted with tho tricksters and their past schemes from being " done Brown" by them. That tiny will do this nn.l use every exertion for the safe return of Mr. Gibson we firmlv be­ lieve, nnd therefore feel certain that, that gentleman will be our next representative. Our opponents are however, on the small side, and they will use every means, fair nnd foul, they will make a tremendous big push, in order to elect their pet, nnd wo enll npon our friends to watch them. Wlmt they have done before they will not scruple to do egnin, and in case they should, by some dishonorable invention, elect tin ir man, let u* Irnve the evidence to moke hi* sent too hot for him to occupy. Such evi­ dence it will hardly be possible will be wanting if proper watching is done. It is bar-l for men who desire to carry on nn election contest in an honorable manner, to have such men to fight against as the Grit wire-puller* in this Riding, but such is our lot and we most bear it. We call up­ on enr friends to work from this ont with a will, and we will all have the satisfaction when the ballots ate counted of knowing that in electing Mr. Gibson and defeating Colonel Skinner, w« have been doing a public duty, and that ths gratitude of the country will b« bestowed upon us. managing a political party. In times past ■ this Biding has elected men of whom in point of ability w» have filt proud, even thouch oppos'd to them >u politic*. We have had Sir Francis Ilincks, Dr. Connor, Geo. Brown and E. V. Bodwell, even the latter of whom, though considered inferior to eitherof the others, was as fur superior as a representative to the present member aud nominee us it is easy to imagine, Surely tho Reformers of to-day nro witlioiil ambition or pride ; surely they ero without that self-rospect they onca bad, when they allow theiuselvcs to be kd by such men aa Colonel Skiuuer and P.

Ho can vote yea or nay as directed by Mackenzie—and that is all ho has done tbo past four years for Lis 81,000 indemnity. Such a man as our member, it he were houest in his pre­ tence of economy (all Grits pretend to be economical) ho would not go to lira House at all, nnd thereby save to tho country the amount of salary. Ho does not wotk there, ho neither gives nor receives instruction— he ia no benefit iu anyway except as a voter. He might serve tho country fully as well by staying al home and allowing Mackenzio to count one for liim on each division, nnd we advreo tiro House, if tho country is forced to put up with such re­ presentatives, to pusa a law ranking this proceeding allowable-.

A voting machine is just as well at li»me. providing the House would allow his vote to bo recorded by the party in tho House, and 81.000 per year would bo saved in tiro expenditures.

There is generally a considerable amount of fear of injury firm lightning during a thunder storm, but upon the whole there is not much ground for eneb fear. At snrb atime the safest position is in a wood, if the largest and tallest trees ba avoided. Tho greatest risk is, undoubtedly, when peopleare trveiling over a bare wide plain, beoauro they are then themselves the most elevated object. Cattle are frequently killed undera tree. This is beenuao such a tree is generally isolated, and th* moist column of steam arising from their I edits audbreath form tho superior conductivity of water, a favorable passage for electricity. A herd of cattle, even iu the open plains,are always in greater danger than human beings.Under a tree they nro exposed to adouble d anger. The danger from lightning to a house is exceedingly small. The materials, are bad conductors. A house, round the roof of which there is a system of water Pipes reaching to the moist ground, is very snfo. A lightning conductor on the highest chim­ney will m>iko the safety a'l bat perfect. Tho risk of personal injury from light­ ning is very small. On an open plain orunder tbe branolios of an isolated treo there is most dauger.but even there the amount is not an great ax is generally thought,though of course, it is best not to put the matter unnecessarily to the test. noKX OOtlDEN—Tn TngenwVI.

The Practical Anil Sentimental SI die a of Farm Life. p JPoets have sung the delights of the (armor s Hie in strains sb. enchanting that one might wonder why all the world has not forsaken every other pursuit and betaken itself to tho tilling of the soil. But tho farmer himself, in tho unshaded hay-field or plodding in the clayej farrow at the tail of Ida plow, with a free holder’s right Sticking to each liost, or bending, with ashing back, between the corn­ rows. or Lye rating tko winter storms in the performance of imperative duties, looks at his life from a different point ed view. To him this life appearaas full of toil and care and evil chances as that of any ether toiler. And true it is, tho life of an ordinary farmer is1 han1, with too little to soften it—too much of work* too litth of play. But as true is what tho poet sang so long ago: “Thrice happy are the husbandmen if they coaid bat seo their blessing for they have iqdepcudencc, more than any others who by the sweat of the brow earn their bread, and the pura air of h.avcn to breathe, and tho blessed privilege of daily cotnmuuton with nature. It is not easy for the fanner to sec any beauty in his enemies,—the tn rad iws full of daisies, with which he is forever fightin'’, or by which lie has been ignominiously conquer*'; the encroaching r inks of goldcnrri * along tho borders of h:« fields, and the brist­ ling bayonets of th jso Canadian invaders, tho th stlcs.

Ho rcvftr, the fanner generally docs feel a tbnil of pleasure when, in the lazy softness of a February or March day, ho hears the caw of the first canton-seeking, hungry crow. “The Jn-art of winter is broke.” In April when the fields begin to show a suspicion of coming green and give forth an odor of spring, and the dingy snow-banks along the fences arc daily dwindling, he welcomes the carol of the bluebird, and is glad to hear tho robin utter his restless note from tho bonjhs of tho old apple-tree; and tho clear voice of the new- come meadow-lark strikes him as not alto­ gether unmusical ; and when he hears the plaintive cry of the grass-plover ho is snre spring has come, and then thinks of the small birds no more till the first blasts of returning ■winter sweep over tho bare trees and frozen • fields, when, all at once, he becomes aware that the troubadours arc gone. He sees that the brave little chickadee remains faithful to Lis post, and feels tnat his cheery not enlivens a little tho dreariness of winter, ns doc* the re.-dy piping of the nuthatch and the voice of the dowry, fuller of life than of music, and the discordant unto the blue jay, w ho, clad in a bit of summer sky, loudly pro­ claim* hl* presence ; but the singers are gone and he misses them.

Agriculture—Past, Present and Fu­ ture. The past shows plainly enough to nil who arc intelligent, that thcro arc many very s npid people living at the present day, for, although there are men who assume to find fault with everything done by our forefathers, yet there is much lieing done now far more re- prchenseusihle. The good old folks would not plow an 1 cultivate without manuring poor, worn-out soil, nor were they silly enough to advise young men to wear them­ selves out by sueh long days of wearisome toiling and broiling while cultivating land which had lost its fertility. No ’ they liked to have something to show for what they did, and if an v of their soil 'l»*g tn to grow light crops, they would thoroughly renovate it. At the present, cultivationn is relied on to inako a good crop, and the soil is worked back. wanl and forward an I across, this way and thatway, and whoever fails in having anaverage number of bushels, Is spoken of as being lazy. The facts of tho care, however, generally are, that Hie Mil Mid the oWner of it have both been worked nearly to death, which is the esse every year with hundreds qf good honest men, who are bringing themselves and their farms to a pitiable state of poverty, gradually pitting poorer and poorer, and yet, before becoming totally discouraged, working harder and Larder.

Look again at States in other parts, where farmer* have works I early and|late,and led tbeir hands fron sunrise to sunset, all through the broiling imuhine, till every par­ ticle of fat has run eht of thoir bodies in sweat and every atom of fertility gone from the land in,the crops so industriously worked out of it.
