J Glorious June weather, tender moonlight 1 from a moou newly rken—a tuyslical light ]—silver-bright on far-off glimpses of tho 1 winding river, soft nnd mysterious where it ifalls upon tho growing datknoss of the woodland | a pensive light, by Which men ’ not altogether given up to tho world are capt to ponder tbo deeper enigmas of this Ilife, autl to look backward, Heaven knows ] with what keen agonies of regret, to youththat has vanished and friends that are dead, i Two mon who have been dining nt the ( Star and Garter, and who have stolen awayfrom the desert to smoko their cigars under i tbo mi kurninor moon, contemplate the familiar landscape in it lazy, meditative ei- ilonco. Ono is sitting on tho stone balus- I trade of the terrace, with his face turned ito the distant curve of tho river, watching Itho tender light with a very sombre oxpr.-s- i sion of countenance; the other standswith hi* elbows testing on tho balustrade, smoking industriously, aud looking ovory : now and thou with rather an uneasy glance 1 at his companion. Tbe fii-st is Sir Cyprian Davonnnt, the last scion of a good old Kentish family,audowner of one of the finest nnd oldest places in tlie county of Keut. Tho Davenants have been a wild, reckless set for tho lasthundred y are, end there is not an acre of Davouant Park or a tree in Davenant woods unencumbered by mortgage. HowSir Cyprian lives nnd contrives to keep out of a dcbtcis' prison is a subject for the wonder of his numerous acquaintances.Hi* intimate frionds know that tbo man has few expensive habits, and that ho has n small ineomn from au estate inheritedfrom bis mother. Sir Cyprian’s companion is a man ap­proaching middle age, with n decidedly plain face, n-dtemed from ugliness try a certain brightness of expression about themouth nnd eyes. This gentleman is James Morton Wyatt, a solicitor, with an excel­ lent practice, and a decided taste for liter­ature, which ho is rich enough to be abloto cultivate nt bis leisure, leaving tho ordi­ nary run of cas>'fi to tho care of his juniorpartner, aud only putting iu an appear­ ance at his office when an affair of some importance ia on hand. Jamca Wyatt is abatchclor and a grout favorite with the fair sox, for whom his fashionable modern cyn­ icism seems to possess au extraordinarycharm. The cynic has a natural genius for tho art of flattery, and a certain subtle power of pleasing, that surprises hi* maleacquaintance, who wonder what tbo women can see in this fellow, with his long, mean- looking nose, and his small gray eves, andhis incessant flow of shallow talk. ‘ Ymi’re not verv lively company to­night,Davenant,' James Wyatt «nid st last. ‘ I’ve been waiting with exemplary pa­ tience for some kind of reply to the ques­tion I nska.l you about a quarter of anhour ago.' ‘ You can scarcely expect ranch livelinessfrom a man who is going to start tor Afri­ ca in fotir-nnd twenty hours, with a very vagnq prospect of coining back aga n.'• Well, I don’t know about that. It's a pleasure trip, isn’t it, this African explora­ tion business ? ’ ‘ It is to bo called pleasure, I believe. ■ My share in it would never have come’ about but for a promise to an old friend. It ic a point of honor w.th me to go. Tho promise was given fiv* or six yenra ago, . when I was hot upon th* subject. I expect 1very little enjoyment from tbo business 1 now, but I am bound to go.’ 1 He sighed a* he said this, still looking 1far away at tho winding, river, with th* 1 same sombre expression in his eyes. It 1 wa* a face not easily forgotten by those 1who had once looked upon it, a face of re­ markable beauty, a little wan nnd faded by 1 tho cares and dissipations of a career that <had been far from perfect. Cyprian Dav- 1 enant was not quite five-and-tbirty, but he 1 bad lived at a high-pressure rate for ton <years of his life, and boro tho traces of the fray. The perfect profile, the broad low brow nnd deep dark eye*, had not lostmuch in losing tbe freshness of youth, bnt the pale cheeks were just a little sunken, and there Were line* about those splendideyes, nnd a rigid look about tho resolute thin Ups. If there wns n f * tit to be foundin the face, it was perhaps the too promin­ ent lower brow, In which tin perceptive or­ gans were developed in an extreme degree,yet this very prominence gavo characterand individuality to tbe con itenance. Jamas Wyatt heard the regretful sigh,and noted tho despondence of bis compan­ ion's tone. * I should have tliongbt there were notmany people In England von would care about leaving, Davenant,* he said with a curiously watchful look al tho other man'*half-averted face. * I've heard you boast ot standing alone in tho world.’ ‘ Rather a barren boast, isn't it ? ’ saidSir Cyprian, with a brief cnl bitter laugh. * Yes, I am finite alone. Sine* my sisterMarian's marriage, aud complet* absorp­tion in ’nursery cares an! nursery joys, there is no one to offer let or hindrance tomy going yonder. I have frionds,of course, ' a great many—such as you, Jim. for in- stance; Jolly good follows, who wouldsmeke a cigar with ma to-night in tho bends of friendship, and who would hoar of my death a month hence,without turn­ing a hair. * Don’t talk platitudes about your friends, Cyprian. I have no doubt they are asgood a* olhdr people’s. I don’t know a man going more popular than yon are.’ Cyprian Davenant took no notice of this remark. * Dear old river 1 ’ he murmured, tender­ly. ’ Foor aid river, bow many of the hap­piest liours of mr life haye been spent upon your breast I Shall I ever **e you again, Iwonder, or shall I find a grave iu the sand far away from the Thames and Medway ? Don’t think me a sentiment*! old fool,Jim ; but the feet ia, I am a little out of ■pirite to-night . I ought not to have *0-eeptad Sinclair’s invitation. I talked nine­ teen to the down at dinner, and drank no end of hock nod a*ltser,but I fell a* dreary m a ghost assisting at hfo o»n funeral. I suppose I am too old for this African bus­iness, I have ontlived the explorer'* spirit and have a foolish kind of preeentiniaut that tb* thing wfli eome to a bad end. Ofeonrse I wouldn’t own to such a feeling among the men who are going, bat I mayconf*** as much to you without being put down aa a craven.’ * I'll tell you what it », Dsveuaot,' an-awwed tbe lawyer. * Thw* is aometbing deeper than you have owned to yet at thebottom of yenr relnetano* to leave Eng­land. TbereJ*someone, aileact—« wo­man? Th* other tnrn*d hia feoe fall non the den cep ice elther--but n Woman I h*V* 1 loved Jtruly and fondly for the last five 1 years of my life, If I were a wise man, I cshould be very glad of this chacce of cur- I ing my infatuation by putting a few thou*- gand miles between myself and the lovliest <face I over saw.* (‘ It*« a hopaless case, then, I suppose,' ]suggested James Wyatt. , * Quite hopeless. What have I to offer ]the woman I love? The income upon jwhich I have managed to live since my fruin an-i subsequent reformation would be tsomething worse than beggary for a wife |such as tho woman I love. Even if she (were willing to share my poverty, could I !be mean enough to drag her into such a slough of despond ? No, Jim, it is a lope- (Irss case. My pretty one and I innit part. .I to dreary old batciielorhooJ, she to fulfill ! her mission, and make one of the grand j matches of the season.'* I think I know the lady,* said James Wyatt, slowly. ‘ Lord Clauyarde's young- 'est daughter ; th^ new one, eh, Cyprian ? tho Clanyanles are neighbors of yours in Kent, I know.'‘ Oi course I can trust yon, Jim. Yes, you’ve bitit. But what made you fix upon Constance Cl.anyarde ? ’* Have I not senses to understand, and eye* to see, and Dave I not seen you and Miss Clanyarde together at least throelimes ? Why, Cyprian, tbe infatuation on both sides is patent to th* most unsophisti­ cated observer. It's a pity you’ve only fourhundred a year. That would be rather a light squeeze for a Clanyardo. They’re anotoriously extravagant set, I know, and have been up to their ey<-8 in debt for th* last forty years. Yes,I hare seen tho lady,Cyprian, and she is very lovely. Upon myword, I'm sorry for you.' * Thanks, old fellow. I needn't ask yonnot to mention my name in conjunction with Miss Clanyarde’e. And now I sup­ pose we’d bettor go back to our friend*.'* I think so. By-lhe-way, what do you think of ths lady wo were asked to meet ? ‘ Mrs. Walsingbam ? She is vtry hand­some. A widow, I suppose.’ * She is rather silent on that point, and I have heard it hinted that CoL Walsingliam—lie was colonel in the Spanish contingent I believe, nnd count of the Holy Homan Empire—still walks this earth, and thattbe lady owes her agreeable freedom to an American court of divorce. Tbe antece­ dents are altogether doubtful, and Mrs.Walsingbnm’s set is of the order fast and furious. Gilbert Siuclair likes that sort of thing.’> ‘ And I suppose Mrs. WalsingLsm likes Gilbert Sinclair.’ * Or his money. Sinclair’s about the1 biggest fiuh in the matrimonial waters, and she will bo a happy angler who lands him. But I really believe Mrs. Walsingliam hasa weakness for the man himself, indopond- > out of his money. Strange, isn't it ? Sin- i clair’s the dearest fellow in tbe world, nnd’ ns his friend, of course I dote upon him ; but I confess that if I were n woman I ’ wbould regard him with unmitigated loath- ’ ing-'» • That’s rather strong.'’ ‘ Of course he's a most estimable orca* > turo ; Lu* such an unspeakable snob, such • a pompous, purse-proud cad. Ah, there be1 is at tho window looking for us. If I were a woman, yon know, Cyprian, that man - wonld be the object of my aversion ; but• I'm not, and he's my client, and it i« the - first duty of a solicitor to love his clients. • Coming, Gilbert.' Tbo two men crossed n little bit of lawn, nnd went in through an open window. Tho room was lighted with wax candle*, and a (tuerrv party was crowded round a table, at ] one end of which a lady was dispensing tea ] in quite a home-like fashion. She was avery beautiful woman, of a showy type. |dressed in white muslin half covered with fluce, dressed just a shade too youthfully for ther Cve-and*thirty year*. There were two ] other ladies present, one a fashionable ac* ( tress, tho other her friend and confidant, |also an aspirant to dramatic fame. The | first was occupied in an agreeable flirtation (with a cornet of dragoons, tho second waslistening with delight to tho lively donver- sation of Mr. Bellingham, manager of the Phoenix Theatre. A couple of gentlemenbelonging to the stock broking fraternity, nnd Gilbert Sinclair, the giver of the feast, made up the party Mr. Brliingham had been entertaining tho company with anecdotes of MacSling- er, the great tragedian, tho point of everyst ry turning on the discomfiture of the groat man by some blundering tyro in dramatic art. .Mrs. Walsingbam hadhoard most of the stories a good many times before, and she gave a palpable little yawn ns Mr. Bellingham told her how theprovincial Horatio informed tbe great Hamlet that his father’s gno»t * wonld have much amuted yon.’ She covered the yawnwith her prettv plump little hand, watched Gilbert Sinclair’s fao* with rather a troub* led expression in her own, and in so doingwas a littto inattentive to the demand for more enps of tea. Mr. Sinclair was a man whom many peo­ple admired, and wbo was in no obvious manner deserving James Wyatt's unflat­ tering description. Hs affected a certainbluntness of style, which bis friends accep­ ted as evidenee of a eandid and open soul and a warm heart. He was generous to alavish degree toward those he associated ' with nnd was supposed to like ; but be was' not liberal with protestations of regard, and he had few intimate acquaintances. I He was a man whom some people called ■ handsome—a big man, upward of six feet' high, and with a ponderous, powerful ■ frame. He had large regular features, a• florid complexion,prominent reddish-brown > eyes, thick curling hair of the same red- > diib-biown, and intensely white teeth. The chief claim whieh Mr. Sinclair pos­sessed to notoriety was comprised in tho fact of bis wealth. He was the owner »f a great estate in the north, an estate consist­ing of iron-works and coal-pits, the annual income from which was said to be some­ thing stupendous, and be had shares inmore railways and mines and foreign loans than bis friends could calculate. His fa­ther had been dead about five years, leav­ ing Gilbert sole nosMssor of this great for­ tune, unfettered by a claim, for tho youngman was an only oDild, and had neither kith nor tin to share his wealth. He had been al Rugby and Cambridge, and hadtravelled all over Earop* with a private tutor. Hs had seen every thing, and hadbeen taught everything that a wealthy young EngUahmau ought to see or to learn, and bad profited in a very moderatedegre* by th* procM*. H* had a strong will and a groat capacity for keeping bi*own secrete, and had started in life with th* detrirannatiou to enjoy exiiteao* after his own fashion. After three years spentin his companionship, lira tot or remarked that he scarcely knew Gilbert Sinclair anybetter al tho eioee of their aequaintanc* baiH motioned him to a vacant chair by 1 her aide, and detained him there till the tcarriages were announced. She called »Lira by bis Christian name in the face of * society, nod thia party of to-nigbt was only 1one of many entertainments that bad been 1 given nt different times for her gratification t It was scarcely strange, therefore, if tu- imor, especially load on tbe part of tbe lady’s friends, declared that Mr. Sinclair 1 and Mrs. Walsingbam were engaged to be 1married. But the acquaintan«e between I them had continued for a long time, and ithoSa who knew most of Gilbert Sinclair < shook their beads significantly whan tbe matrimonial question was mooted. i‘ Gilbert knows bls own value/ growled <old Colonel Mordant, an inveterate whist- < player and diner-out, who had introduced iyouug Sinclair into fast society. ‘When < he marries be will marry well. A man with my friend Sinclair’s fortune musthave all tlio advantages ia tbs lady of bis choice—youth, beauty, rank—or at anyrate position—and most men of that calibre look oatfor a corresponding amouat of wealth. I don’t say Sinclair will dothat. Ho is rich enough to indulge in a caprice. But as te marrying Clara Wal- singltam—a deuced fine woman, I grantyon—par ei bete !' Mrs. Walsingbam detained Mr. Sinclair in conversation some time after the car­riage* had been announced. She was very bright aud animated, and looked her best as she talked to him. It was nearly eleveno’clock when she was reminded of tbo late­ ness of the hoar, aud tbe length of thedrive before them, by Miss Sopy Morton,who had latterly transferred her attention from the callow cornet to Mr. Wyatt,muchto the disgust of the youthful dragoon. * Yes, Sophv, I am just going to put on ray shawl. Will you fetch our wraps fromthe next room, please, Mr. Wyatt? Will you take the back seat ia tbe brougham, Gilbert, and wind up with a lobster saladin Half Moon Street ? It is roolly'c.irly, your know.'* Thanks, no. I could scarcely trust my man to drive those chestnuts; so I think I'll go back in the phaeton | and I’m due at a hop in Eaton Square.'* Indeed ?* asked the lady, curiously, andwith a rather anxious look. ‘You used not to care for dnuciug parties.* * I don't care for them now ; but one has to sacrifice inclination now and then, youknow.’ * Do I know the people ?' asked Mr*. Walsingham.Mr. Siuclair smiled as ho replied, ‘I ' think not.* A cloud came over the lady’s face, and; when her shawl hod been adjusted she took Gilbert Sinclair’s arm in siloace. Nor ’ did she speak to him oa the way to tbe1 porch of the hotel, where a mail phaeton and a couple of broughams wore ia wait- i ing. Her adioux to the rest of tbe party’ wore brief and cold, and Gilbert himself I she only honored by a stately inclination of her beautiful head, with its coronal ofbright chestnut hair, and coquettish little curls doited about a broad white fore­ head.Mr. Siuclair stood bare-headed under1 tho porch as the Wokingham brougham* drove away, and then tamed with a frowu 1 to perform his duties in other directions. Hero, however, ho found there was nothingleft for him to do. Miss Morton and her companion had been escorted to their carriage by Sir Cyprian Davenaut and Mr.Wyatt, and were waiting to bid their host good-by. * And a thousand thanks for our delight­ful day, Mr. Sinclair, which we are not like­ ly to forgot for a long time, ore wo, Imogen ?'Miss Imogen Harlow, who had boon born at Watson and christened.Mary Ann,shook her empty little head coquettishly, and declared that the memory of that Richmond dinner would remain with herto her dying day. And on tbe way homo the two ladies discussed Mr. Siuclair and his income, and speculated as to thechances of his ultimately marrying Mr*. Wokingham. CHAPTER IL “ Wren we two part ed.” Sir Cyprian Davenant and James Wyatt gwent back to town by rail, and parted com- tpauy at Waterloo, ths baronet going woet- J war’d to hia bachelor lodgings in one of the shabbier Btreota about Grosvenor Square, tthe lawyer to a big dull house on the cold- eat aide of Russell Square, which his father (had boaght and furnished some fifty years (before, and in which then was a laqje nol- j lection of old pictures, and a still larger eoL | lection of rare old wiues stored away in ,great gloomy cellars with ponderous iron- (plated doors. Mr. Wyatt the older had (done a good deal of business of a very pro- ,fitable kind with the youthful members of {the British aristocracy, had raised loans for them at heavy rates of Interest, never ;omitting to remind them of tbe sacrifice they made, and only yielding to tbe stern necessities of their position in a reluctantgrudging spirit at the last j wheroby the foolish young moe were in no manner pre­vented from rushing blindfold along thebroad road te ruin, but were kept in ignorance of the fact that it was from Thomas Wyatt’s own coffer* that themoney came, and that to him the interest accrued.James Wyatt inherited hia father’s cautious spirit, together with his father’s handsome fortune, and he had cultivatedvery much the sama kind of business, making himself eminently Useful to his young friends, and winning for himself tbecharacter of a most prndsnt friend and ad­viser. He did not taka tbo risks of an ordinary money-lender, and ho raised money for his clients on term* that seem­ed moderate when compand with the > nearer’* exorbitant demands; bat ho con­trived, nevertheless, to profit considerably by every transaction, and ha never lot a ■ client eooape him while there was a featheri toplnok.I Sir Cyprian Davenant had been in thia ■ gentleman’c hands over sine* hia coming of ■ age, but now that there wa* not an acre of- the Davenant eetat* unmortgaged, and the f day wa* not far off in which mnrt comer foreclosure and sale, the relations between I the two men ware rather thoee of friend- I ship than bo*iao*a. Cyprian had lived hiai life, had Wasted hie last available sbillieg, I and had reformed. H« diaeipatians hadf never been of a bate or degrading order.Ho had been wild and reckless^ hod pla/bd high at hia elab, and lost money on theturf, and kept an exlrava«ant atad. and ridden in otaeple-ahaaea at homo andabroad, and had indulged ia many other * And yet th* fellow aaoena so Band id,’ aaid Mr. Aabon. wondertngiy.* I wish you would give mo a little assist- •no* with the tea-cups, Gilbert,* Mr*.

Taka that to «r Cyprian D*w*- M<wtoa'<i«ap.* his writing-table in the morning sanlieht * thinking of the put and the future with a * gloomy face. ’Thinking of th* past—of all those care- 1 less hours in which one bright girlish face ■had been the chief influence of bl* life ; 1 thinking of tho future in which ho was to 1 see that sweet face no more. 1 ‘ How happy we have boon together I' he / thought, as Do bent over a photograph 4 framed in tbe lid of Ilia dispatch-box, oon- 1 templating tho lovely face with a fond j smile, and a tender, dreaming look in his dark eyes. ‘What long hour* of boredomI have gone through in the way of even- ' ing parties in order to get a waltz with her, • or a tew minutes of qniet talk in «om* bal- 'Cony or conservatory, and all for tbe ram 1 delight of loving her—without one ray of j hope for the future, with tbe knowledge ;that I wa* doing her a great wrong in fol- ■ lowing her np so closely with my barrrenlove! So even James Wyatt saw my in­ fatnation ; and hers, be said. Is there any truth in that last assertion, I wonder?Does Constance really care for me? I have never asked her the question, never betrayed myself by any direct avowal. Y«tthese things make themselves understood semehow, and I think my darling knows that I would die for her*, and J think Iknow that she will never care ior any man as vhe could care for me.*Ho shut tbe dispatch-box, and began to walk slowly up and down the roomthinking. * There wonld be just lime for me to do it,* he said himself, presently—just timefor ms to run down to Davenant, and seethe old place once more. It will be sold be­ fore I come back from Africa, if ever I do come back. And there would be thechance of seeing her. I know the Clan- y&rde* have gone back to Kent. Yes, I willrun down to Davenant for a few hours. A man mnst be hard indeed who does not care to givo one farewell look at tbe bouse-in which the brightest years of his life have been spent. And I may see her again,only to say good-by, and to sea if she iasorry for mv going. What more can I say to her ? What more need be said ? She knows that I would lay down my life forher.’ He went to his room, and slept a kind offitful sleep until eight* o’clock, when he woke with a start, aud began to dress for bi* journey. At nine he was drivingthrongh the streets ia a Hansom, and at mid-day ho was in.one of the woody lanes leading across the country from thi littleKentish railway station to his own ances­ tral domain, tbe place he bad once been proud and tend of, but which he looked at> now in bitterness of spirit and with a pas- * sionato regret. The estate had been much > encumbered when it fell into his hands,i but he knew that, with prudence, be might ' have saved the greater part of it. Hei entered the park by a rnstic gateway, be-f side which there was a keeper's lodge, a f gate dividing the thickest part of the woodf from a broad green valley, where the fern i grew deep under the spreading branches of - grand old oaks, and around tbo smooth ( silver-gray trunks ef mighty beeches. The I r Davenant timber had suffered little fromi tbe prodigal's destroying hand. He conld i better endure the loss of the place than its ’ - desecration. The woman at tho keeper's J? lodge welcomed her master with an ex-r clamation of surprise. ‘ I hope you Dave come to stay, Sir >Cyprian,' she said, dropping a rustic ' courtesy. * No, Mrs. Mea-I, I have *nly come for a 1 last look nt the old place before I go away from England.' ' * Going away. Sir? that's bad news.’ 'Cyprian ent short her lamentations with : a friondly nod, and wo* walking on, whenit suddenly struck him that the womanmight ba useful. * Oh. by-the-by,’ he said, 'Lord Clanyarde is at Marchbrook, is he not?’* Yes, Sir; the family have been there for tho last week.** Then I’ll walk over there before I go on to the house, if you'll unlock the gate again, Mrs. Mead.** Shall I send one of my boy* to the house with a message, Sir, about dinner, or anv thing ?’* You are very good. Yes, you can sand tbe lad to tell eld Mrs. Pomfret to get mesomething to eat at six o’clock, if yon please. I must get back to London by the 7.80 train.’* Deary me, Sir, going back so soon as that?* The gates of Marchbrook were about amile distant from the keeper's lodge. Lord Clanyarde’e house was a dreary red brick habitation of the Georgian era, with longlines of narrow windows looking out upon a blank expanse of pasture land, by court­ esy a park- An avenue of elm* led fromthe lodge-gate to the southern front of the house, and on the western side there wasa prime Dutch garden, divided from thepark bv a ha-ha. The place was in perfect order, bnt there was a cold, bare look aboutevery thing that was eminently suggestive of poverty. A woman at tbe lodge informed SirCyprian that there was no one at home.! Lord Clanyarde had driven to Maidstone; Mis* Clanyarde was m the village. She‘ bad gone to see the children at the Nation- |al School. She would b« heme at tw* to lunch, no doubt, according to her usual' habit. She was very fond of the school, , and sometimes spent her morning in teach- . ing the children. ' But they leave school at twelve, don’t they?' demanded Sir Cyprian. * Yes, Sir; but I dare say Mias Constancehas stopped to talk to Miss Evans, the school-mistress. She is a very genteel young person, and quite a favorite with onr ladies.* Cyprian Davenant know tho little school- boese and the road by whieh ConstanceClanyarde mast return from her mission.Nothing could be more pleasant to him than tbe idea of meeting her in her eolitary walk. He turned away from the lodge-koaper, mattering aomtahing vague about calling again later, and walked at a rapidpace to the neighboring village, whieh con­ sisted of two straggling rows of cild-fasbion- od cottag** fringing tho ridrta of aeommon.Close to the old ivy-oovered eh arch, with But I think that sort of thing fa about th* bast employment for ths snsrgfos of* valfand stray, such as I am.

They walked away from (he school house aide by side, Sir Cyprian fsrtivaly watchful ol hii ccmpaoion’a face, in whfantlurs were signs of a sorrow that seamed something deeper than tbe eonvmtiaMl regret which a fashionable beauty mightexpress for tbo departure of a favorite wallzer. The silence wu not broken nntil theybad arrived at a point where two roads met, ths turnpike road to Marchbrook, aud a shady Irne—a cross-country road, abovewhieh the overarching branches of ths'elms made a roof ot foliage at thi% bright midsummer Mason. There was a way of reachi ng March brook by this fan* atempting walk compared to the hfafa-rpad.* Let ns go bask by tbo lane,* said Cyp­ rian. • Il is a little longer, but I am sureyou are not In a hurry. You wonld have dawdled away badf the morning talking to that young woman al th* school, if I hadnet come to fetch you ; and it will be oar last walk together, Constance. I may call you Constance, may I not, as I need towhen you Were in the nursery ? I am en­ titled to a few dismal privileges, like a dy­ing man, you know. Oh, Constance, what happy hours we have spent together iu these Kentish lanes I I shall see them inmy dreams ont yonder, and your face will shine down upon ms from a basaground ofgreen leaves and bine sky; and then I shall awake to find myself camping oat upon some stretch of barren sand, with jackalshowling in the dfatanc*.* * What a dreadful picture! ’ said Con­stance, with a faint forced laugh. * Bui if you are so reluctant to leave England, why do you persist iu this African expedition? J ‘ It is a point of honor with me to keep my promise; and it is belter for ms to be away from England,’* Yon are tbo best judge of that question.* , Sir Cyprian was slow to reply to this ro- , mark. He had come down to Kent upona sudden impulse, determined in no man- [ ner to betray his own folly, and bent only upon snatching the vain delight of a fare-j well interview with tbe-girl La loved. Bat , to be with her and noljto tell her tbe truth, was more difficult than ha had imagined.Ha could see that she was sorry for his de- * partnra. He believed that she loved him,'r but he knew enough of Vircount Clanyard’a , principles and his daughter's education to f know there would be something worse thancruelty in asking this girl to share his brok­ en fortunes. * Yes, Constance,’ he went on, ' it ia bat­ter for me to ba away. So long as I am hero it is the eld story of the insert and the flame. I cannot keep out of tempta­tion. I cannot keep myself from haunting the places where I am likely to meet thogirl I love, fondly, foolishly, hopeleealj.Don’t look at me with those astonished eyes, my darling ; you have known my secret ever eo long. I meant to keep si­lence till the very cud | but, you see tbe words are spoken in spite of mo. Mylove, I dare not ask you to be my wife. I dare only tell you that no other woman will fill that place. You are not angrywith me, Constance, for having spoken ? ' * Angry with you—-’she began, and then broke down utterly and burst in to tears.He drew bis arm round her with a ten­ der protecting gesture, and soothed hergently, as if she bad been a child. * My darling, I am not worth your tears. If I Lad been a better man. I might haveredeemed Davenant by this time, and might have hoped to make you my wife.There would have been some hope for me, would there not, deer, if I could have of­fered you a home that your father could approve ? ’ ,* I am not so mercenary as you thinkme,' answered Constance, drying her teemand disengaging herself from Sir Cyprian's encircling arm. * I am not afraid of pov­erty. Bnt I know that my father would never forgive—’ * And 1 know it too, my dearest girl, andyou shall not be asked to break with your father for such a man a* I. I never meantto speak of this, dear,’but perhaps it is bet­ ter that I should have spoken. You willsoon forget me, Constance, and I sb»ll hear of you making some brilliant mar­ riage before I have been away very long.God grant the man may be worthy of you! God grant you may marry a good man I ‘ I am not very likely to many,’ replied Mis* Clanyarde.* Mv dearest, it is not possible J on can escape ; and Heaven forbid that my mem­ory should come between you and * happy future 1 It is enough for one of us to carry the burden of a life-long regret.*There was much more talk between theta before they arrived at a little gate openeinginto Marchbrook kiteken-garder, fond re­ gretful talk of tbe day* that were gone tn which they had been so much together down in Kent, with all the freedom p*r-milted between friends and neighbor* of long standing, th* day* before Constan©*had made her debut in tho great world. . Sir Cyprian did not persevere in blstalked of visit to Lord Clanyarde. Ho . had, in troth, very little desire to see that , gentleman, wbo was one of the moat pom- t pons and self opinionated of noblemen.► At the little garden gate he grasped Mbs i Clanyarde’* two hands in his own with on* fond, fervent clasp.• You know th* old story,’bo said $ it mnst be for years, and it may bo forever. It fa an eternal parting for me, darling, forI can never hope to call you by that sweetname again. You have been very good to me in letting me apeak ao freely to-day .andit io a kind of coaeolalion te have told y<m my sorrow. God bteoa yoo, and good-by f This woa their parting.

Oar Battle Cry i ** Protection to Home Industries." 1 lx less than two week* the elections will be over in all the Provinces save Man­ itoba. Before thia most of the electors all over tbe Dominion have made up their minds for wbonP they aro going to vote. Little remain* to be done now but vote. We suppose there ia scarcely a man in S. Oxford who hn* not made up his mind to vote for Gibson, Skiuner, or not at all; and all the meetings, and all the foolishness and miaatatement* set forth iu tbe Grit books of lessons with whioh this Riding has been deluged, will have do effect in changing their purpose. We fully believe, our election is already settled in favor of Mr. Gibson. But hl* friends must not fail to vote—every one. The OpjosifioD Polity. The commercial policy of the Oppo­ sition is represeatixl in the following resolution moved by Sir John Mao- ’ donald in the House of Commons u— “That this House is of opinion that ths welfare of Canada requires ths adoption of aNational Policy, which by a judicious read-jastmsnt of the Tariff will benefit and fostertb* Agricultural, the Mining, the Manufactar- inj and other interest* of the Dominion; thatsuch a policy will retain in Canada thousandsof onr fellowoountiymen, now obliged to expatriate themselves in search of employ­men* denied them at heme; will restoreprosperity to onr struggling industries, nowso sadly depressed; will prevent Canada from taing made a sacrifice market; will encourageand develop an active interprovincial trade ;and moving (as it ought to do) in the direction of th* reciprocity of Tariffs with onr neigh- Iwrs, so far as the varied interests of Canadamay demand, will greatly tend to procure forthis Country, eventually, * reciprocity ofTrade." The Credit Valley Railway is now in running order between her* and Wood- etock, and as will be seen by the new time table in another column, will run two trains a day each way on aud after Monday next. Shipment of freight have already been made over the new line by Mr. Kish of Buffalo and Messrs. Bixol and Buchanan of Ingersoll. The G. W. R. have cnnsml to stop tho two trains ou their liqe which are of most -advantage to Ingersoll nt thin station, but if they think to make us relent of our support to the C. V. R. by this ncliou they will And themselves very much mis­ taken. Such a pettifogging proceeding will only cement a greater allegiance to the new road, and if we mistake not, our people will now feel bound to throw all their patronage more strongly with the C. ©be ©rforrb ©ibnne, There may braame people who have no idea that it costa the present Government —this awfully economical Government— nearly *600,000 a year more than the rev­ enue received, to carry on our postal ar­ rangements, while under Sir John Mac­ donald th* difference between receipts and expenditure was only *235,0001 In this branch of th*public service, too, we find the party of unfulfilled promise* showing their extravagance. They were going to do some wonderful feats in the way of economy if the people would only elect them. The majority of the people believed them then, but they don’t now. These men have been on trial for five years and have proved themselves totally unfit to be believed. They wonder, no doubt, why so many of their old friends aro leaving their ranks, but their eyes will fairly bulge out of their sockets, after the 17th, to see what a position their hypocrisy has brought them to. " Litt le Joe” is making it io hot for the Ingersoll clique. After all their as­ sertions regarding tbe farcical nature of his candidature, they and tho rest of the party are now bound to acknowledge that Mr. Gibson is a strong candidate, gnd a smart candidate—in fact the strongest can­ didate they ever had to oppose. They boastfully c’aim that the Colonel will bo elected—some of them are crazy enough to say by 500 majority—but actions apeak louder then words, and their actions show that they are awfully afraid that in oven claiming bia election by a bare majority, they are not telling the truth. Koep up your spirits, boys. Fool good as long as y >:i can — nearly two woi ks more. Than, fearful to contemplate as the result w.ll be, yon won’t feel quite ao salnbriou*. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1878. The Gbit Platform consists of two planks—One-sided Free Trad* and hurrah fur Mackenzie I Harrah for Mackenzie and one-sided Free Trade I We hear a great deal from the Gi ita in regard to the targe number of nnem ployed people iu the United States. Thia is trne, we grant. Bnt have they ever thought how much larger the unemployed army Tjrould be without protection ? Mr, P. Hughes, of Toronto, ia the Grit candidate in Niagara, in opposition to J.B. Plumb. Ha held his first meeting last week, and was made considerably down­ hearted by the fact that it was nicely four to ore against him. We guess Plumb’s head is level and that bis election is safe. The Grit papers are making,or attempt­ ing to make, capital out of tbeir misrepre­ sentations in regard to what they call the inconsistency of Sir John Macdonald on the National Policy. Some of them even go so far m to borrow a cartoon from Grip which, if it does nothing else, help* to " fill np thef paper." Sir John is represented as having one policy in the West and another in the East, which is as true os most other things they have to say in reference to the Opposition. But we don’t see them pub­ lishing the inconsistency of Mr. Macken­ zie. They don't tell their readers that this gentleman says, in Ontario, that Protection will not raise the price of flour, Ac., while ha instructs his followers in the Lower Provinces to say there that it will raise the price. They don’t tell them that when Mackenzie was down there he was asked about this matter at one of bis mootings, and that be was forced to admit that what hie colleague* in those Provinces bad been preaching was not trne. A correspondent writing from Thames- ford says :—"I noticed in the Chronicle of the 23rd ult. a report of Mr. Thos. Oliver’s meeting in Thnmesford, on tho 15th inst., and felt vary mich surprisi! that he, ‘with his very carefully prepared sheet,’ showed that the whole of the con­ trollable expenditure of the honest Govern­ ment of Mr. McKenzie aud his colleagues in new public works.that were not pledged by the Government of Sir John A., was th* small sum of *84,000; if true, how honest. He was asked by Mr. Ward what about the Fort Francis Lock, Neobing Hotel, Goderich Harbour, Georgian Bay Branch Railway, Steel Rails, &c. ? Would these small jobs only cost *84,000 ? I, with others, like to believe this—I will say un­ guarded statement—yes, and will I say, uncorrected statmont. As any sane man can easily detect truth from error by hear­ ing both sides of tho questions of the day, all I can say of this glaring mistatement of Mr. Oliver’s is fora reading and intelligent people to judge justly on tho 17lh inst. by turning out these honest fellows.” find that class of eleeton wb* have inde- pendenc* and sens* of right enobgh to cane* them to turn their back* upon the party for a time—portly owing to a very improper nomination, and partly 'to their atarvation policy—just a* firm in resisting their influences as they have been all along in denouncing the party in the Bidiug- They will find that they have a ci ts* of men to deal with jn*t a* intelligent, and as well able to judge of political matters a* themselves,and that all the bulldozing they aro capable of <vi.l not effect the result they anticipate. The independent and in­ telligent Reformers who think for them­ selves, are not io be coaxed or driven to the polls by an Ingersoll crowd, to commit a criminal act' against their own con­ sciences. We are glad that South Oxford contains *o targe a number of Reformers, who, at the coming election, are willing to throw party aside and vote for their coun­ try. If there aver wm a time when it was the duly of every elector to forget party in the interests of the conutry, it is now. The present issue is one of extraordinary im­ portance—one of life or death to Canada. If onr country is to prosper, it mnst be by the downfall of th J present Government— nothing short.of it. Yet there aro mon who would apparently rather see the coun­ try go to tho dogs, than see the presect lot of incapables and hypocrites lose their pos­ itions I All thinking men perfectly under- -stand tbo neosssity of n change of Govern- Ai-jnt—that is, if we wish to get out of tho miro—and they are doing thoii best to ac­ complish that end. All who vote for Mr. Gibson iu South Oxford, will do their sbaro toward* bringing our country under more compotenut and patriotic rule, and into a more prosperous state, and will deserve tho gratitude of the Dominion. But none will be so much entitled to that gratitude as those who are so brave os to come out from their own party, and join iu the com­ mon and worthy object of making Canada better to lira in, with those who have been their opponents in former ooatesta. These ar* the kind of men the country can de­ pend upon when most needed ; these are th* truly loyal men; and these are the kind of men who are proof against the wrong influences of the Ingersoll missionaries or any other penon* blindly advocating ruin, and who are actually disloyal without knowing it. have made deficits in three year* of 18,- 000,000, while the "Tory” Government with a lower tariff had *10,186 2)0 snr- pluaes; they have azpended 110,000,000 on the Pacific Railway, and have nothing to show but a pile of steel rail* and an isolat­ ed section of railway ; they have caused trade to diminish *50,000,000; they have expended in three years *5,800,000 more than the previous Government; they have increased the cost in administering the public departments *1,820,000 ; they have increased the public debt over *44,000,000 ; they have spent the people’s money extrav­ agantly in times of poverty and distress, when tbo most rigid economy should have been practiced ; they have held on to large salaries lor themselves during times when the people were calling out for work and food, while they objected during prosper­ ous times to the same salaries being paid their predecessors. And wo might go on. What wrongs they have found it their •• doty" to do would fill n very large book. Tn* reforms they found it their " duty" to not bring about are also very num­ erous. The people during the past five years have learned to take Mackenzie’s promises for just what they are worth. His actions in regard to those he has already made have caused the poople to bo very cautious in swallowing his utterances in re­ gard to anything he might promise to do. It is his duty, no doubt, to protect tho con­ sumers and do a great many other tliincs- Btit has ho dono his duty in the past ? For from it. Then how aro we to believe he will do it in the future ? After n trial of him, his promises are not satisfying. Ho has been well weighed and found wanting, and we do not bolievo that tho electors of tbo Dominion of Canada will longer sym­ pathize or support in any way his Govern­ ment, which has committed such crimes against the welfare of the people and coun­ try, crimes too that have been committed undoY the cloak of purity I Nice purity 1 Bat the power of the hypocrites is short. A few more days and we believe they wilj find by the votes of the people that they have forfeited their confidence, and that whatever Mr. Mackenzie or the rest of them may proclaim it to be their " duty” to do, there is very little faith in tho conn- try that it w.uld bo performed. LITTLE POLITICAL NOTES. Mr. John O’Doxohue, of Toronto, and several other leading Catholics, are bound not to support the Government at th* pre- sent election, and th# Globe, as in all pre- vioua similar cases, is giving them " par­ ticular fits." But people aro not so much afraid of the great Dictator as they used to ba, aud why ia it ? Mr. Mackenzie has stated that his Gov­ ernment would not make any change in the tariff. Cartwright has said that they could not " do any more than a fly on the wheel" to avert tho present depressed state of trade. It is time this country was out of the clutchea of stubboraes* and inca­ pacity, and placed under the control of men both capable and willing to govern in tbe interests of the people. Canada spends an enormous anm an- Dually in parebaaiag foreign goods, nina- tontha of which aha could and would man­ ufacture herself undrr a proper tariff, and if matters continue in their present state the result will certainly be a wholesale em­ igration of our laboring cImms to th* United States. If we do not manufacture goods, wa must be without a manufactur­ ing population, which, however, ia a bless­ ing Io any country. The Sentinel:—" The men who in for­ mer years rolteneggad the Governor of Canada have political descendants who for loyally and patriotism aro worthy of their ancestry.” Just ao. Cast your eyes to- • wards Lucius Seth Huntington, Postmas­ ter-General, a leader of the Independence movement and a reputed annexationist, and who, in tho Parliamentary Companion boldly proclaim? himself " A Liberal, and in favor of the Independence of Canada I'' Thon view Telesphoro Fournier, late Min­ ister of Justice, who proclaims himself" A Liberal, and in favor of the Political In­ dependence of Canada t ” Then look at Touissant Antoine Rodolphe Laflamme, Minister of Justice, who avows himself " A member of the Parti National," one of whose leading planks is Independence I Then bo sure and see Lno Letellier de Si. Juat, late Minister of Agriculture, at pre­ sent Lisut.-Governor of Quebec, who pro­ claim* himself " A Liberal and National- u t! ” Then don’t forget on any account to view Alfred Gilpin Jones, Minister of Militia, who declared “ he would take off hie hat and cheer when the British flag wae hauled down I ” How do you like tbe picture 1 The greatest aquatic event this season will take place on the 1st of October, be­ tween Hantan and Courtney. Haitian ha* tried hi* mettle several time* this year and ha* not met with a single defeat, and it is expected he will pull through the season without a scratch against him. jf he does, then for other worlds to conquer. He will have conquered America ; ho will then try Europe. The Woodstock Sentinel, th* moat rab­ id atarrationist organ in the county, says, ’’ Dr. Tupper once held sounder political opiniona than lie doer at present." It may ba added, so did George Brown, Alexander Mackenzie, Mr. Workman, Mr. Blain, Mr. Charlton, Tbomaa Oliver, John Macdonald, of Toronto, Wood and Irving, Hamilton, etc. These latter gentlemen, we believe, •till bold the aame views on Pk-otaetion and Free Trade aa they did a few year* ago, bnt one of their great principle* ia to op- poae Sir John A. Macdonald in everything, hence tbeir advocacy of Free Trade at pre­ Gkobsk Brows ever wm a tyrant. He always ruled th* Grit party with an iron band, and to-day the members are hi* slave*. Everybody mast act according fo bi* dictation or they must suffer. He hae hounded.-to death politician* who d*r*d to differ from him io pnl Ita affair*. He im prironed^vorkuMn becanoe they claimed thrir rights, but which were in contradic­ tion to bi* Mean. Now h* fo condemning tb* workingmen of Toronto because they went to a circus the other day. What right* have the workingmen, anyway ? Wbst bcaineea have Mep to have any en­ joyment ? None—anrordfag to "Goosdte.” The Woodstock Sentinel bas for some time past devoted a large amont of space to Mr. Joseph Gibson. The editor of that paper evidently has no special lovo for tho " Tory candidate in South Oxford," and we don’t believe it’s on account of the dif­ ference in political opinion between them. We rather think it is owing to an incident which happened in the Town Hall here a few years ago, and which many will re­ member. A public meeting was being held and the editor, who no doubt had been practicing oratory iu old bams and other out of the way places, concluded that the occavion would be a good one to pnt bis practice into operation. Of course ho bad no idea that any other town could produce a young man equal to himself, and with considerable cheek and a good many airs be rote and made a speech, the point of which was that Woodstock was ahead of all creation and Ingersoll no where. He did not know that be wm likely to be lol- lowed by a little home-epnn chap who was listening somewhere in the audience, or it is probable be would hare been more care­ ful in bis manner and words. But he wae followed by him, aud be received probably one of tb* groatest " taking* down,” be ever met with hi hi* life—one which be plainly remember* to thia day, and for which Mr. Gibson ia made the victim of bfo hatred under cover of politics. Who pays the dut y ? Tho horse story has gone tha rounds of tho praas in eveij conceivable ahape. Here is the testimony of Mr. John Shopherd, ^of Bothwell, a cat­ tle buyer, in regard to stock,which he sends to the London Free Preet:— " I have purchased stock targdy from thefarmers for eight years, paying them thous­and i of dollar* annually. 1 have told them, and state now, that were it not for the dutythat I am compelled to pay upon all theirstock crossing tho line to tbo United States, I could offer to pay from 60 to 75 cents morefor lamb* and 810 per head morn for cattle.And only two weeks since tho drovers were paying $t per 100 pounds live weight fur hog*for the Montreal market ; but hogs were ship-ped in from Chicago free ol duty and glutted the market. Had the AmericatK been calledupon to pay 20 per cent, duty, the same asour farmers have to pay for the privilege of selling hogs in the United States market wecould have made a fair profit and continue topay tho farmers $4 ppr 100 pound*. But theresult is, our farmers will have to take les* fortheir surplus hogs. No class of tho com­munity aro suffering more from the one-sidedfree trade policy of thp Grits than onr indus­ trious farmer*, for they have no control of ourCanadian market ; neither can they send anyof thoir product* to tbe United States with­ out paying from 20 to 40 per cent, duty, whilethe American* can tend the product* of theirtoil into this country free of duty. And whenany article that our farmer produces com­ mands a good price here, the American* takeadvantage ot it, glut tho market, and downgoe* the price, to the los* and rain of the Can­adian farmer. But I find the hon«*t yeomanryarc awake to their interests, and will supportthe National Policy by voting for men thatwill look to their requirements and giv* them the protection they are certainly entitled to. ” The Norwich Reformer* are told by tbe Benttinel that they ebould “ orgaaka and go to work with a will until (bey triumph on tbe I7th ef September." We can laB war eotem. that they Amm organised, and are woikiug—a little. Tbe Reformers io Booth Oxford, aa in every other eonatita- ency ia tho Don*taton, are very etow to Judoe Coursol Is the Conservative can­ didate in Montreal Eaat, and w* should judge from the new* we receive from that important eonetitueney that he will be elected. He bM alw*ye opporod the Grit Govcrnmcul ou tbe ground that they had not been actuated in tbeir policy by a pro­ per consideration of th* good of the coun­ try, m WM plainly to Se ee*n by tbe sorry perittan in wbi*h onr manufactures are placed to-day. He is ft sincere protection­ ist, and bM aoMptod tbe nomination with th* object of securing far the country, and the city of Montreal in particular, •□ tb* advantage-* which would accrue from • tburongh revision end readj astmsnt of tbo oziatinc tariff. Tbe interests of the coun­ try alone—no perron*] motive* or ambition —hM indued him to prrtent himself for Mo. J. II. Wood, of Woodstock, is the nominee of the Conservative party in the North Riding,and wo trust to see the party support bim with all their might. He is an able man, a staunch supporter of the National Policy, and has for years worked with great benefit for bis friands, who now can not do loss than give bim a right hearty support. The Sentinel says bi* c<nidMa­ ture is a farce. So said the organ here in regard to Mr. Gibson after bis nomibation. But it don’t say so now. A few of the leading Grits iu this Riding are showing by their desperate efforts iu favor of Col. Skinner, that Mr. Gibson’s candidature is anything bnt a farce ; if there is any farce about the matter, it ia on the other aid*. If there was much farce on our aide, there would be no need to send for members of the Government to come hero and stump against our candidate ; there would be no need to spend m tney, buying cart-loads of free trade pamphlets to distribute broad­ cast in tbe Riding ; and there very certain­ ly would b* no need to inflict the elector* with speeche* from such celebrated orators as the Ingersoll missionaries who are ad­ vertised to appear at the different places during tbe two week* intervening between this and election day. And Mr. Wood may make the Reformers in the North " take back" that assertion in a few days, as Mr. Gibson has in th* South. It caa be done, but bard and continuous work will be required. We aro sorry that tbe nom­ ination had not been aooner made. A Great effort is now being put forth by the Reform party of this Riding to wake np the latent feeling and elect Col. Skin­ ner, and it is amusing to road over the names of tho men who aro putting forth this great effort. It is a coalition of the ’ basest sort, acd the mere mention of the individuals who compose it is sufficient for the intelligent reader to put a fair estimate on its value and influence. They nro cs follows : Adam Oliver, the Fort W’illiam land jobber; James Noxon, the great temperance champion, and between whom and the first named gentlemen tho bitterest encmity in poluical affairs has existed for tho past ton years; Jas. Brady, President of the L. V. A., who at tho last election de­ nounced Col. Skinner in the Town Hall hero as no better than a photograph as a representative ; W. S. King, who has done all he could np to within the last ton days to get the Coh off tho field or to get Mr. Noxon to take it in spite of him ; Geo. A. Pyper, who is ready and willing to tabu the stump for anyone if it only affords bim an opportunity of airing his eloquence and strntting on the platform before his peers ; Dr. Field, of Woodstock, who is practicing for any emergency and hopes that by mak­ ing a show of work for the great "Reform” cause to be rewarded at no distant day with some fat appointment; last, though not least, comes Peter Johnson Brown, of Neebing Hotel notoriety, "without a port­ folio," who has acted as whipper-in, and after packing the convention and getting the nomination for Col. Skinner, found he bad made a mistake, did all he conld to get him off the course, and when this failed put his wits to work ta gat these discord­ ant elements into unison, and bad thus far succeeded in getting these iu#n upon the same platform and making them swallow the bitter gall of their animosities and join in the noble (?) work of trying to elect Cel. Skinner as their "representative.” Truly “Reform" Polities is a wonderons thing and "Reform” politicians are a mytsery that is past finding out. Can anything be more humiliating than such a spectacle as thia ? The electors of South Oxford have seen these men upon the public plalfotm. They have heard them denounce one another as unfit forxny position of public trust and either publicly or privately have beard them express their disgust at such a man as Col. Skinner offering himself to re­ present one of the finest, wealthiest and most intelligent constituencies in the Do­ minion. It is not the Reform party be will represent but it ie the "Ingersoll clique" whose representative be is. This pbalaux ef politicians are too well known here to need a fuller description of them now. They are ready to prostitute the elective franchise of the people to the basest of uses, and we feel sure that the honest yeomanry ef Oxford, backed up by the working classes of the towns aud village*, will give them such a rebuke on the 17lh (of the preaent month a* will teach them 1 a lesson not easily to be forgotten. 1 With Big Meanings. sua l*itg contrary to the dictates of their ■lib * will** for « mmw they aan’t help bat try; and if the Con*«rvativ* party should •treeaad to power, an 1 by any poaeibility go bark on their pledgee in favor of pro- lection, ba will withdraw bia enppeat from We notice that a few gentlemen belong­ ing to ibis town aro advertised to appear throughout tbe Biding and addro** the •lector*.

It is calculated that there are at present over two thousand unemployed laborers in Quebec city. Her e is more evidence that a Protective tariff ruins industry and swamps capital: In 1861, when the Morill tariff came into 1 force tho exports of iron and steel from tbo i United States amounted to S5,932,(M0; iu1876 they amounted to 816,175,IKK). The Globe and the Grits used to denounce C. J. Brydges ns an incompetent railway manager;—when tiny got into power tli^ymade him Manager of Government Rail­ ways at $8,000 a year! England has Free Trade, therefore Free Trade must be good for Canada, although tho circumstances ol th* twocountrws dif­fer vastly. On the same cast-iron princi­ ple, why doesn’t Mr. George Brown advo­ cate an Established Church aud tho taw ofprimogeniture ? Not for the purpose of adding to tbe misery of onr gri: friends, but merely that they, knowing tho truth, >>iay set tlieirhouse iu order, wo luuution that even iho St. John Telegraph, their chief organ m Now Brunswick, nd in us that tho Govern­ment will not have a m ijority down there. The Ojjicial Gazette does not contain much now matter of interest in these days, bnt all tho Government organs are deter-mined not to let tbe country forgot the Pa­ cific Scandal. W ist they would du if they were not continually ‘waking’ that oldcorpse, goodness ouly knows; they don't appear to have any other capital. Why don't they issue tbeir programme?" Let us have “a cheap country to live in ’’ by all means. Tbe farmer who sells his produce for half price will of course got rich, •nd the laborer and artizau.wbo cannot get • day's work te earn • cent can bay just tmmuch flour for nothing at half price as bo conld at double price. L*t us luvo a cheapcountry to live in. The Rev. “ Rhubarb” Clarke,of " Model Farm” aud "seven up” notoriety, has de­ clared himself in favor of Mr. Guthrie, of S.iuth Wallington, and mounted the plat­ form on His behalf. Mr. Guthrie’s causemust indeed be a bad one, when dema­ gogues of Mr. Clarke's calibre aro enlisted under his banner. Anyone who by his vote or influence seeks to continue tbe sinister iu’e of the Mackenzie Government becomes a partici­ pant in their guilty and ruinous courses in the past, aud shares with them tho guilt ofthe disaster which their do-notinng policy bea brought upon the country, and can ou­ ly be regarded as on enemy to tho bestinterests of tho country. The Mail says:—"As sure as wo are of anything human we are sure that tho gen- eral election is going to reverse the slate ofparties in tbe Dominion, and we base tbi* certaiuty of assurance on tbe testimony of shrewd men and experienced politicians inevery province ot the Confederation, as well m our own observation." Mb. Mackenzie’s Panegyrist in a meet­ ing st Piotou opposed Protection on the ground that " the workingmen would be Mking more wages." Mr. Mackenziesmiled approval, aud the Grit party io Pic- tou applauded tbe speech. Let the work­ ingmen, all over Canada, consider it. When our Free Trade fri*nda.are telling the Workingmen that the National Policy will make bread dear, would they be goodenough to say when Canada ever saw cheapbread without it* beiag accompanied by hard times. Unless the farmer* havemoney to spend, neither merchants, manu­ facturers n«w artisan* can prosper.

Mr. Cartwright has denied it, but we are ploased to hear him own the truth even this late in the dny. They have DEALT HARDLY WITH CANADIAN INTERESTS. The oreat Reform party does not seem to bo happy in its division of tabor among its members. To Brother Hodgins is as­ signed the task of writing on " Hints upon corrupt practices at elections.” Now asense of tbe eternal fitness of things w»uld hnvo suggested leaving that talk to Majaw Walker, or Mr. Brown, or I-bet-you-Cook,or Norris, or Neelon, or some of the other members, who have demonstrated in an election Court their knowledge of tbe usingof tbe human devices. By THE way, Messrs. Mackenzie and Cartwright, in tbeir recent starring exhib­ ition iu tbe Maritime Provinces, travelled always by special trains. Wiio pays for them ? At a time when minute calcula­tions are being made ns to the travelling expenses of Ministers as compared withthose of their predecessors, would it net bewell to have some information on this point. Why should tho members of the Goven.- mmtbe permitted to travel,for purely pattyobjects, at tl.e public expense? Me. Wall ace, of South Norfolk, in a re­ cent speech, after quoting tbo import of farm products Irom the Trade and Naviga­ tion returns for lust your, said: “ In fact, such wns the quantity of produce broughtinto Canada that year (year ending June 30lh, 1877) that had onr tariff been a* highcs that of the United States Mr. Cartwright would have received therefor, revenue suf­ ficient to meet tho deficit of 1877.” Far­mers should remember this. The country has been deprived of an enormous source of rovenno for no better reason than to givetho Yankees advantages over tbo Canadian farmer iu tbe homo market. The Liverpool Courier of tbo 6:h says: "An anti Frto Trade movemont is just be­ ing floated in Wolverhampton, which the originators state is on every hand heartily supported. Tho novers a wort that thewoikiug classes iu Wolverhampton are loudly complaining that their employment is going because of foreign competition,and that reciprocity duties must be impos­ ed by Government upon nations who place heavy dnties np-ni British manntactnres.A committee is being formed which, it i* said, embraces the names of influonti ilmannfactnrers, and public meetings will then bo In 1’.

The Mon­treal Grzette says ;—•• Wo behove there is but one parallel to tins,and that is furnish­ ed by the lender of the Opposition, SirJohn Macdonald, who has represented Kingston for thirty-five years. We are glad to know that tho propio of Kingstonare determined to maintain for Canada the preeminence in the matt« r of fidelity of con­stituents to their representatives by re-cket-ing Sir John at tho approaching election. It is something of which both the constitu­ency and the public man to whom it has so long extended its confidence, may be justly proud, this example of unswerving fidelityto a representative who for years lins devot­ ed, unselfishly and patriotically, his great abilitioB to tho service of Ilin country.’’ The following extract is from tho ad dres* of Mr. Robert II iy, for many years n prominent member of tho Reform party, and now the National ?olicy candidate ioCentre Toronto:—"In years past, ns moat of yon aro aware, I was associated with tho Reform party in this Province. I support­ed that party because I . lx lioved that in carrying out tbe professions then made, its lendera, would promote the welfare of thecountry. I have left it because I have found these lenders unfaithful to their pro­ fessions in every important respect—espec­ially in their extravagant and wasteful management of the public funds and be­ cause I nm well satisfied that the commer­cial policy to which they are now pledged will,'if persisted in, prove ruinous to our best interests and destroy the iuteresta of Canada." The Toronto Telegram, with all its leanings towards the Grit Cabinet, cannot swallow the Grit political economy. Itnays:—“ The Globe is treating us every day to columns of wisdom on political economy.The substance of these dissertations ie takenfrom English text books, which the writer* in the Globe imagine to j>e the utterancesof the very latest school of economist*. In fact they aro th* utterances ef the lost school but one. A great change has recent­ly been taking place iu European opinion, though the fact has escaped tbe omnisci­ ence of the Globe. Tbe Globe'e idea ofCanada seems to be a ccw pasture, the sparse inhabitants of which all take theGfo&e.and are unanimously loyal to Brown.

HIGU-TONED 8PKECHB8 AT BOLSBOOK. Col. Skinner held a meeting at Holbrook last evening, and there Was a fair attend­ ance. J. W. Nesbitt, Esq., occupied the chair. The first speaker was Dr. Field, of Woodstock, who announced .tbret each speaker would be allowed half ao hour,that Mr. Gibson bad been invited aud no doubt was present. Finding, however, that hewas not present, the Dr. proceeded to call Mr. Gibson a coward,and said that be darenot attend their meetings. The most of his speech consisted in vilifying Mr. Gib­ son ; he had but little to say in referenceto the. leading political questions of the day, and what he did say was of a verj’ low order. It consisted chiefly in throwingpolitical mud in order to draw the atten­ tion ot the electors from the real issue—aNational 1’olicy. He appealed to the partyspirit.of bis audience, which fell very flat, and having reason to believe they preferred, ininciple to prejudice, he resumed bi* seatin eilenoe. Mr. Geo. A. Pyper was the next sneaker.He performed some of his feats on tbe pol­ itical tight rope, sufficient to convince the audience that he was tho inevitable Geo.A., and an old “ hand at tho pnmp." He alao took advantage of Mr. Gibson’s ab­ sence and staled that ho dnrd not attendwhere ho was. Here Mr. Pyper displayed so great a want of memory that bis con­ceited brugadocia was received by the meeting with derision, and he was compelledinorder to sa'-c hi* Sunday reputation andknowledge of the ninth commandment, tosmother his eloquence.Mr. Adam Oliver, (of Necbing notoriety)was the next speaker. He departed from the course pursued by tho other speakers, and hadthe coura e to attack Sir John A. He talkedPacific Scandal—loudly—Mid wm proceedingwith his little role magnificently, when he was brought to bay by one of hi* own pa tyasking him if Sir John hail ever sold him3,(XX) acres of land at 18 centi per acre. No reply waa elicited, and no doubt thinking hewas not just tho man to talk political purity,he made no further effort to raise the stand­ard. He must have seen with a sense of deepmortification, that the election* in the SouthRiding of Oxford ware not-c inducted now asin times gone by ; thnt now it was necessary to nppealto the intelligence and not to the pre­judices of the elector*.Col. Skinner followed, and seemed delight­ ed at the company he wm in ; he took his cue 'from the first speaker and stated that Mr. IGilman had been invited to all their meeting*,and that lie was afraid to attend. Heie he ' was quickly interrupted and told that the Istatement was not true, referring him to Mt.Elgin. Norwich. 4c., where he stated “ that I Mr. Gibson bad not been invited and had nobusiness there.” The Colonel’s eloquence will Inot bear interruption, so thinking prudence . the Iwttcr part of valor, took his scat mut- 1 taring that he was afraid there were not many 1 vote* there for him. There being no speaker for Mr. Gibson pre- ‘sent the chairman dealt out a in<wt scathing < Town Council Meeting. Th* regular meeting of the Council w m held on Monday evening.

Dr. Burkhart and G. S. Brock were loudly *p-ptamled and encored for their solos; the Dr. isworthy of s;>ecial mention, his Comic singing ami graceful playing is not often excelled.Mr. G. 8. Brock sang “Canmla" with a pleas­ing effect having a tine Tenor voice. Miss-Shewan, as usual sang a Scotch song, "As wccl asony eo’ild dee." Messrs .T.S.McKay,Wm. Dickie, C. Brown, J. Conner, P.

LETTER FROM PARIS.-—XXI. HOW THE EXHIBITORS ARK TO BE PROVIDED FOR—-DIFFICULTIES IN REACHING THE EX­ POSITION—THE EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS — THE LION’S SHARE—THE HISTORY OF SILK MANUFACTURE, &C., Paris, Aug. 16, 1878. ) The entries to the Exhibition arc again sur­ passing tho 100.000 daily: the visitors arc chiefly of the artizan class and from al) quar­ ters ; they bare tho sir of thorough satisfac­ tion ; the want of cabs, owing to tho strike among the drivers, is a serious inconvenience for many ; if wise they will secure a place in the first char-a-banc that puses, as for a seat in au omnibus, such is impossible, unless at tho termini of the lines. With a friend, I ob­ tained on Monday a capital seat in a laundry cart to the Troeadero, th* gamtm en rouft, honoring us with the military salute, which we returned with the rigidity of Ponnnerani- mnn soldiers. In France, always enter into the fun of the thing. The sum total of re­ ceipts under the head of tickets, for the two months ending June 39tli, is 3) million francs; ur an excess of J of a million ovur the same period as compared with 1867. Those exhib. iters, aud their name cannot bo legion,'who will not receive a reward or honoraldo men tion, will bo supplied with a certificate apart from that they already possess of having paid tho smart official expenses connected with their installation to the effect that they were admitted to compete. With tbis document, and a good frame maker. a-1>onler with mo-l- els of all the medals of all the World's Fairs,if hang np at a Draconian height m a shop,ought to produce the same effe .t on custom­ er*, aa the real vouchers of victory. Framemakers are very talented in France ; one wasrecently decorated with tbe Ixgion of Honor, a distinction many of the painters for whomhe makes frames has not been fortunateenough to achieve.The educational section nf the Exhibitiondevoted to France, is one of the m<«t inter­esting in the whole budding ; it is in the par­ allel alley with tn? me des Nations. Thereis no more profitable s,mt to study ; the exhi­bits force you to stop and examine them, and tho intelligence must bo very dull, that linesnot derive profit from an excursion hero. Ed­ucation, from the professional point Oi view, appears to haw reached its perfect sta_-e, ifeducation ever can Im perfect, ami ia peculiar­ly worthy the attention of English sjtei-ialisls. Since 18*>1, when I'njtind wassh'ickcl at herbackwardness in industrial, Ac., education un­til now, she has made great progress ; but she has only to measure berselt with France,to any nothing of other countries, to realizewhat she has yet to attain. There ap;>ears tobe a want of order aud method in her plans of professional education, ami nn nation hasgreater necessity for such education, nr conlJderive greater profit from U, than England. What sustains English industry, is the ad­mirable temperament of the English work­man, his iron muscle, his patience, regularity,automatic precision, ami h«i*nio self-abnega­tion ; he aeems to have l>een formed for put­ting in motion wheels and pulleys ; he seemsto be stranger alike to eunui and fatigue ; in the workshop as in the field, two English areequal to three or four French workmen. Eng­lish industry has had tbe good lurk to deriveprofit from al! the commotions of the contin­ent ; profrlairrt, patricians, and sovereign*,alikelly to England for safety; rhe has received this in turn, th* flower of all parties, and the cxwllent artizan* of all trade*, fromEcrojie ; the ruin of Antwerp by the Ihikeof Parma, sent to her slaves the fragments ofsilk, damask, taffeta, 4c. ; the destruction ofthe Armaria, and the maratim! ruin of Spain,-opened up to her all the seas ; the - r^catinnof Edict of Nantes. *ecured her the cream of French industrial talent, and th* senvdeaareign* of subsequent monarchies kept up thesupply. England has thus gained, and if ah*has lust America, it was only after making the State* a second England, and maintaining atirade with the separated colony, superior toall her present colonies put together.The display of silks—the Lyons court, is on* of the moat luxurious in the Exhibition :it is a series of splendid wonders, pleasing andrtaxriing to the eye*. It wm from the ItalianRepublics that Lyons became acquainted with the art of silk making ; Louis XI. did all inbis power to secure the monopoly of silk­making for Tours. The primary matters forsilk weaving came ad! from Italy, even as latens the time of Francia L, and it waa only in1.540 that Lyons secured the right of centraliring the manufacture and sale of silk, and this pre-eminence she still sustains. HenryIV., by the impetus he gave to the cultivatioqot the mulberry, waa enabled to secure » sup­ply of raw sdlk ia Frauct He converted tberailleries garden into a mulberry nursery, and sent the young trees to the valley of theRhone.

Da ryiRo nt Colorado. —To giva at metus to the growing dairy inLiat of dal<ihg in Colorado, Mr. James At<he>, o Denver, has offered $50 as a special pruniufor the best lot of factory cheese made in Colorado and exhibited at the coming State fair.Mr. Thomas, tho secretary of the society, has divided this into twil prttnit ms, as follows-□no of 8.15, tho lirst premium, and one of $ILas the second. As a rule, dairy products an not exhibited as they should lie at o tr Staffairs. It is not to be expected that la-ge pr< •miura* can be offered, but it is cortaiulito the interest of dairymen thit their wares Im exhibited. It is one of the legi­timate ways of drawing atteution to the pro­ducts of a State. S anf o r d ’S RADICAL CURE For CATARRH Items of Interest Oleomargarine. WHAT XT 13—WHAT IT IS USED FOB—ITS EF­FECTS. Thon ch much has been published in the Jmerico.i .Agieidturixt on Oleomargarine, we give the following summary for tho benefit of the large clxss of readers who show by letters that they are not already familiar with the subject Oleomargarine is made from the caul-fat of beef animals, by a process and machinery, which separates the fat from the tissues. So far it is clean, and, of itself, as clear suet, is unobjectionable ; but some claim that dirty grease, and oven refuse hog-fat are also used in the process. Manufacturein claim that it is identical with butter, because both arc fat, and come from tho same animal, and aro similar in composition. A comparison will show tho fallocy of this assertion. Oleomar­ garine consists exclusively of tho three fatty compounds—stearine,olein,and margariuJ. All nnimal fats, of which butter and suet sro chief representatives, are made up mainly of these three substances, though in varying proportions, and often with additions. Butter is composed of stearine,olein,margarine,butin, myriatin, caprin, caproin,capylin, and bntyrin —six extra ingredients which aro not con­ tained in eleomargarino; and these extra six constitute something like ten per cent of tho butter, and the aromatic flavor and other peculiar charateristics of the butter are mainly due to their presence. It is claimed that the absence of somo of the components of butter make the oleomargarine superior in keeping quality to butter. Be this is as it may, it does not uake butter of oleomargarine. Butter is a product peculiar to the udder of the cow, and is obtained by separating from the milk,by churning, the facts which compose it. Oleomargarine is formed in other tissues of the animal, is composed of different in­ gredients,and is separated by heat and proces­ ses which produce a different result. Though chalk and marble have nearly the some con­ stituents, yet chalk is not marble, nor is marblo chalk ; even so oleomargarine is not butter. Oleomargarine is then essentially tal­ low, or other fat prepared by churning it with a little real butter to form a product which has been of often sold for butter—now, for- unatcly prohibited by law in some States. Oleomaragino quite closely resembles butter in appearance ; but it has a peculiar, strong taste—unmistakable after it is once tried—and leaves a sticky disagreeable sensation in the month, similar to that caused by greasy soup; this bad flavor can be tasted for hours after eating it For cooking purposes it may serve as a substitute for poor butter, and may even be used upon tho table by those who are not particular in such matters. It makes a pastry, which, though good enough white hot, is very tough when cold. A very large amount is sold in the country, for use in cool.ing and for table use in cheap restrtraats and tilt poorer cluses. Ths usual price for this is 15 eta. per pound. Much is also used in cheese fac­ tories to take the place of the cream used fer butter-making. The product is sold m whole milk cheese, when not prevented by law or the honesty of dealers ;.and large quantities are shipped abroad as American cheese. The effects of such a product in tbe market are great and manifold, as often pointed out In the Amrricnn Agrieulturhl, Its low price seriously affects all the lower grades of butter and cheese; it endangers our foreign markets for good dairy products; and all of these will in turn have other and deleterious effects, which any one can trace. The remedy is simple; let every State, that has not done so, by law compel its sale under its own name, apd let dairymen combat it in the market, by not making either batter or cheese which can be compared to it, but produce only superior articles, and get tbe better price they are sure to bring. A five-year-old youngster, seeing >dmtiken fellow,"said : “Mother, did Ood make that man ?” “ Yes" she replied. “Iwouldn't have done it" was was younginno- erttr'a answer. ALtndn'i paper of 1761 contains tlxf>>lb>w:ng notice: “The ladies of distinction nt the u es end of the town I ave determineto l>a«ff>w on tin* poor all their earning* al earth during holidayed A nobleman, who is in thehaqil of speak­ing to bis aoldiersrin an affable manner was much amused when a Guardsman said to him, in a hearty way: “I like you, my lord.There's nothing of the gentleman about you.” “ Tho sun rises in the east," explain­ed the teacher. “Yea, an’ there’s suthin ' rises in the west, too," chimed in one of the smaller boys. “ Well, what is it?" asked tbescboolma'am. “Injuns,?" shotted tbe ur­ chin. “What is a junction, nurse?” asked a seven-year old fairy the other day of an eld­ erly lady who stood al her side on a railwayplatform. “ A junction, my dear," answer­ ed the nurse,with tbe air of a very superior person indeed. “Why, it's a place wheretwo roads separates.'’ “ Maria de Mcdicis must hart been ex- cee.lingly plain,'’ remarked an art-galleryvisitor, ’• Not at nil," said an old lady, in- di.*nant)y.jealous ot the honor of the family. “ I have been told that she was nearly re­lated to the Venus of that name, and the family were all handsome.” The Choya Shenbun, an official journalof the Chinese empire, indicates that the Christian missionaries in Cbiim has finally suggested to the Mongolian xnind that abetter way to resist the insidious influences of those foreign teachers of regbgion than chopping off the heals and feet of convertsmight be to undertake somo counter mis­ sionary work, and even to carry the warinto tiro barbarous countries from which these proselyte makers hail. An active worker in this direction already is said tobe tho Chinese (Minister in London who spends whst time he can spare from bis diplomats duties in efforts to spread tbeteachings of Confucius in the European world, with tho hope of effecting a vast change for the belter in the ways and ideasof its barbarous population. Perhaps Chem Lan Pin, tbe Ambassador to tbe United States,’thinks of trying tho same thing inWaslnngton, but ho has an Augean stab'obefore bim there.

He afterwards returned the money,and resigned tbe estate, having declined on tbe spot the sword, witn the remark that he bad no further need of it, as he no lon­ger had a country in whoso service he might draw it. Ho revisited tbe UnitedSlates, was granted a tract of land aud apension, and went back to France, engag­ ing in agricultural pursuits near Fontain-bleau. Later, he went to Switecrland, mak­ ing bis homo in Soleure, whence he sent a deed of manumission to all tbo serfs uponbis Russian estate.

In giving the above to the readers of the farmer, wo think wo are putting into their ppMMuion eomething valuable. Tbe loss u! umtuosda from tbe manure pile is u great drain from the farm, an evaporation of money which it is desirable to arrest. Bc«i farmers, haul muck and other kinds of soil, and spread over their heaps to retain th* ammonia, but this uecouitatro a good deal el labor, and not little expense. By our meth <xi euggootod above, tho farmer can coaly bind the plant food ammonia, and boeidos add the carbputo of soda, a M t dtanbl* adjunct. Try it afxtnoe. Betting on Elections* &c. Mr. Blake’s " Act for tba Repression of Betting and Pool Selling, assented to on the 28th of April, 1877,provides as follows:(1) In case any person uses or knowingly allows any part ot auy promises under bis control to be used fi r the purchase of re­cording or registering any bet or wager, or selling any pool, or (2) keeps, exhibits, or employe, or knowingly allows to bo kept,exhibited or employed, in any part of any premises under his control, any device orapparatus, for the purpose of recording orregi t-ring any bet or wager or selling any poo), or (3) becomes the custodian or de­ positary of any money, property, or vol-unble thing staked, waged, cr pledged, or (41 records or registers any bet or wager,or sells any poolupon the result (a) of any political or municipal election or (b) of any race, or (c) of any contest or trialof skill or endurance of man or beast— Such person is guilty of a misdemeancr, and shall ba liable to be imprisoned inany common jail for any term less than < ne year, with or without hard labor, and to a fine not exceeding one thousand dol­lars." On mot al grounds, and from tear that it might prove disadvantageous in .tbs coming elections, we advise all persons toavoid betting on tbe results of or in any other way; on the elections. It has beenheld under some circumstances, by the Judges, to constitute a specie* of bribery to influence tbe electors. Wo would moatespecially warn all officers of Conservative Associations, to avoid betting in connection with tbe elections, as they are regarded inlaw, as agents of the Candidate they are supporting, and may by betting on theelections, involve h m and thonwelvee, in very unpleasant ctoasequences.
