Til EV LIVE TOO LONG WHO HAPPINESS OUTLIVE In accepting Lord Clanyanlo's invitationCyprian Davenant had but one thought, one motive—to bo near Constance. Not to see her. Dear as she still was to him.bo had no desiro to seo ber. He knew that such a mooting could bring with it only bitterness for both. But he wanted to benonr her, to ascertain nt once anil forever tbe whole unvarnished truth ns to her do­ mestic life, the extent ot her unhappiness,it slio was unhappy. Rumor might exag- grrate. Even the practical solicitor James Wyatt might represent the state of nflursns worse than it was. Tbe human mind loans to vivid co'oring and bold dramatic" effect. Au ill-usoJ wife and a tyrannicalhusband present one of those powerful pictures which society contemplates with interest. Society—represented generallyby L«rd Dunuroary—Lkes to pity just as it likes to wonder. At Marcbbrook Sir Cyprian waa likelyto learn the truth, and to Marchbrook ho went, aff.-ctit.g an interest in pheasants, and in L >rd Clanyarde's conversation,which was like a rambling and nnrevised edition of the Grovillo Memoirs, varied with turf reminiscences.There was wonderfully fiuo weather in that sec >nd week of December—clesrant- ntunal days, blue skies, and sunny morn­ ings. Tbe pheasants wore shy, and alterthe first day Sir Cyprian left them to their retirement, preferring long lonely rides among the scenes of bis bovhood, and halfhours of friendly chat with ancient gaffers and goodies who remamborod his father and mother, and the days when Dtvenanthad still held up its Lead iu the oveupatiou of the old race.4 This noo gent’eman, ho do spend apower o' money ; bnt he’ll never be looked up to like ol I Sir Cyprian,’ a iid a gray- beaded village sage, leaning over bi* gatevo talk to young Sir Cyprian. Iu o">eof his rouuds Cyprian Davenantlooked iu upon tbe abode of Martha Briggs, who was still at Lome. H -r parents were in dec mt eircurnstaujn*, and nuteiger toseu their daughter4 stiitod’ with a new ser­ vice, Martha rotnimb^rad Sir Cyprian as afriend of Mrs. Sinclair's before her mar­ riage. She had seen them ont walking to­ gether in tho days when Constance Clan- ynrde was still in the nursery ; for LordClanvardo’s youngest daughter had known no middle stage between the nursery and Irer Majesty’s drawing-room. Indeed,Martha bad quite made up her miud that Miss Constance would mirry him. She was therefore disposed to be confi­dential, and with very slight encourage­ ment told Cyprian all about that sad time at Siionesthal.how her mistress had nursedher through a lever, aud how tho sweetest child that ever lived had bean drowned through that horrid French girl’s careless­ness. 4 It's all very wall to boast of jumping into the river to save the darling,’ exclaim­ ed Martha. 4 But why did she go and takethe precious pet into a dangerous place 2 Wlreo I had her,I could sea danger before­ hand. I didn’t want to bo told that a hillwas stoep, or that gras* was slippery. I never did like foreigner*, aud now I hate them like poison,’ cried Miss Briggs, as if under the impression that the winds con­tinent of Europa wm implicated in Baby Christabel's death.4 It must have been a great grief to Mrs.Sinclair,’ said Sir Cyprian-4 Ab, poor dear, she'll never hold up her bead again,' sighed Martha.41 saw ber iu church last Sunday, in the beautifulest black bonnet, and it ever I saw any one going io heaven, it’s ber.And Mr. Sinclair will have a l<>t of com­ pany, and there are all the window* atDavenant blazing with light till pact twelve o'clock every night —my cousin James is a pointsman on the Southeastern, and sees the house from the line— while that poorsweet lady is breaking her heart.' 4 But surely Mr. Sinclair would defer to bis wife iu these things,' suggested Sir Cyp­rian.4 Not be,Sir. For tbe last twelve monthsthat I wa* with my dear lady I seldom heard him »ay a kind word to her. Alwayseuarliug and sneering. I do believe be was jealous of that precious innocent because Mr*. Sinclair wa* so food ef her. I’m sureif it hedu't been for that dear baby my mialreea would have been a miserable wo- me <b divert my mind. As if iwted ehsr-sdse, or billiards, or beziqss, ooald fill up tho gap in my life. Axe you really goingto Africa m y sooo ?4 ■4 Early nt ths sow year, perhaps; bnt I shell not go till I bars beard from somerelisblo mures that you ar* happy.’ 4 You must not wait for that. I shall never know hapjrfneu again in thia worid.At moot I can but try to bear my lot pa- Itoutly and put on cheerful looks. I oholi try to do that, believe me. Your leootmshall not bo wasted. And now I supjtoso wn must say good by,’ looking at ber watch: • it is time for mo to go back to tbe house.'41 will not detain you ; bnt Lefors I go I must apologizo for my burglarioos eo(ranee by that window, I hope I did not frightenyou? ’ 41 was only startled. It seemed almost a natural thing to see you here, I mnens*her how food yon were of this summer- bouts when I was a child. I have so often seen you sitting in that window smokingand reading.' ' Yr», I have spent many an hour herepuzzling over the choruses in Froosethosw, and I bavs looked up from my book to sooyou scamper by on your pony.' 'Pepper, Ute gray owe,' cried Constaneo, absolutely smiling; ‘such a dear pony) Woused to feed him with bread and applest every morning. Ah, what happy daysthose were I’ It touched him to the core of hie heart to see the old girlish look come back Tn all its brightness. But it wss only a tninMsntgleam of the old light, which loft a deepersadness when it faded. ‘Good-by,Constance,’ he said,taking both her hand*. 41 may call you that for thslost time.’ 4 Yes, and when you are iu Africa— in *n- othtr world, far from ail the false preten­ces and sham pleasure# that make up life it. this—think of mo as Constance, tbe Con­ stance yon know in the days that aro gone—not as Gilbert Sinclair's wife.’ He bent his head over the unresistinghands and kissed them. ‘God bless you and comfort you,ray Con­ stance, and give you as much happioos* asI lost when I made up my mint! to live without you I’ He opened the window, aud swung him-s*)f lightly down from the balcony to the turf below. [TO BE CONTINUED,! Sinclair waa a good fellow enough al bot- tom, he assured Sir Cyprian ; a little toofond of pleasure, perhaps, bnt with no harm iu him, and Constance was inclinedto make rather too much fuss about the loss of ber little girl. Sir Cyprian heard this ehango of tone insilence, and was not convinced. He con­ trived to see Dr. Webb, the Maidstone sur­geon, that afternoon. He remembered the Roed-nnturcd little doctor as bis attend­ ant in many a childish ailment, and waanot afraid of asking him a question or two. From him ho beard a very bad accent of Constance Sinclair. Dr. Webb professedhimself fairly baffled. There was no bod­ ily ailment, except want of strength butthere was a settled melancholy, a deep and growing depression for which medicine was Into detail#. The suitor was good-looking, nno.i-natured, open-handed, and rich. What more could nnv dowerles# votingwoman require ? Thue had Lord Clan­ yarde reasoned with himself when ho hur­ried on his youngest daughter’s marriage ; and having secured for her this handsome establishment, he had given himself nofarther concern absut her destiny. No daughter of tlm house of Clanyarde had ever appeared in the divorce court. Con­stance was k girl of high principlra, always went to church on eaifits’ days, abstainedin Lent, aud would bo sure to go on all right. Bnt at Davenant, on this particularevening, Lord Clsnyanlo saw a change in Iris daughter that chilled his heart. He talk'd to h»r, end she answered him ab­sently, with the air of one who only half understands. Sorely this argued some, thing more than grief for her dead child.He spoke to Gilbert Sinclair, and gave frank utterance to his alarm.4 Yes, she is very low spirited,' answeredG Ibert, carelessly; 4 still fretting tor the little girl. I thought it would cheer her tohave people about her—prevent her dwel­ ling too much upon that unfortunate event. But I really think she gets worse. It's rather hard upon me. I didn’t marry tobe miserable.'4 Have yon had ft medical opinion abouther?' asked Lord Clauvarde, anxiously. ‘Oh yes. she l-as her own doctor. Tbe little old man who used to attend her atMarcbbrook. H« knows her constituion, no doubt. He prescribes tonics, and so on, and recommends change of scene by-and-by, when she gets a little stronger; but mv own opinion is that if she would only make an effort, and not brood upon the past,she’d soon get round again. Oh, by-tlie- *<y, I hear you have Sir Cypriau Davenant staying with you.' 4 Yes, he has come down to eboot some of my pheasants.'41 didn’t know you and ho were sothick.’ 41 bav? known him ever since bo was a bay, and knew bis father before him.’4 I wonder, as your estates joined, you did not knock up a match between him and CouBtance.’4 That wouldn’t have been mnch good,as he couldn't keep his estate.'4 No. It’s a pity that tho old man inLincolnshire didn’t tuko it into bis bead to die a littlu sooner.’ ‘I find no fault with destiny for givingme you us a son-iu-low, and I hope you are not tired of the position,' said Lord Clanyarde, with a look that showed Gil­ bert bo must pursue bis insinuations nofurther. Lord Clanyarde wont home and told Sir Cyprian what ho had seen, ami bi*fears about Constance. Ha reproached himself bitterly for his share in bringing about tbe marriage, bring ull the more in­duced to regret that act now that change of fortune had made Cyprian as good aparti as Gilbert Sinclair. 4 How slurt sighted wo mortals uro I' thought the anxious father. ’ I did uot even know that Cypriau bad a rich bache­lor uncle.’ Sir Cyprian beard Lord Clanyarde’# ac­ count in grave silence.4 What do you mean to do ?’ be asked. 4 Wbat can I do 2 Poor child, ehe is alone, aud bear her burden unaided- I cannot come between her and her husband. It would take very little to make me quar­ rel with Sinclair, and then where shouldwo bo? It sho had a mother hviug it would bo different.' ’ She has sisters,' suggested Cyprian.4 Yes. women who are absorbed by the care of their own families, and who would wot go very far out of their wav to helpher. With pragmatical husbands, too, who would m ike no en 1 of mischief if they wore allowed to interfere. No; wemust not make a family row of the busi­ ness. After nil, there is uo specific ground for complaint. She does uot coinplain,poor child. I'll go to Davenant early to­ morrow and see her alone. Perhaps I can persuade her to bo frank with me.’4 Y<«u might see the tfoc'or, and hear his account of her,' said Cyprian. 4 Y<-s, by-the-wHv, httle Dr. Webb, whoattended my girls from their cradles. An excellent little man. I’ll send for him to­ morrow nml consult him about my rheu­ matism. Ho must know a good dealabout my poor child.’ Lord Clanyarde was with his daughter s»on after breakfast next morning. He found her in that pretty old-fashionedroom which had been Christabel's day nursery, nud which had a deor of com- inunication with Mrs. Sinclair's dressing-room. It was a curious angle of tho house at tbe end of tb> n >rth wing, and wa* over­ looked by the oriel-window of Gilbert'*study—which occupied the opposite corner of th# wing—study par excellence, but dressing-room and gunnery in fact. Constauce roc-ived her father with affec­tion, bnt he could not win her confidence. It might be that she had nothing to con­ fide. Sho made uo complaint against berhusband. 4 Why do I find you sitting here alone, Constance, while the bouse is full of cheer­ful people ?' asked Lord Clanyarde. 41 heard the billiard belle going as I came through tbe ball, early us il is.'4 Gilbert likes company and I do not,’ answered Constance, quietly- ‘ We each take our own way,'4 That doe# not sound like a happy union, pet,' said her father. 4 Did you expect mo to bo happy-—with Gilbert Sinelair 2*4 Yes, my love, or I would never have asked you to marry him. No, Constance.Of conrse it was au underetood thing with me that you must marry well, as yonrsisters bad dona before you ; but I meant you to marry a man who would make you happy; and if I find that Sinelair ill-use*you or slight# you, egad, he shall have no easy reckoning with me.'4 My dear father, pray bo calm. He i#very good to me. 1 have never complain­ ed—I never shall complain. I try to do my duty, for I know that I have done bima wrong for which a life of duty and obedi­ ence can hardly atone.*4 Wrong him, child ?

If that kind of thing were tocount, there's hardly a wife living who ba* not wronged her husband.

Yon muet get such silly no­ tion# out of yonr bead. And you shouldtry to bo a little more lively; join in Sin­ clair’s amnsensenis. No man likee agloomy wife.

I mighteall in half the great men in London and be no wiser than I am now. They would only make Mr*. Sinclair more nervous,and Rhe i* very nervous already. I am a faithful watcli-dog, and at the first indica­tion of danger I ahnll take measures.' ’ You don’t apprehend any danger to the mind ? ’ asked Sir Cyprian, anxiously.1 There ie no immediate entree for fenr. But if this melancholy continues, if the nervousness increases, I can not answerfor tho result.' 4 You have told Mr. Sinclair as much asthis ? ’ 4 Yes,I have spoken to him very frankly.’ It would have been d fficult to imagine alife more solitary than that which Constance Sinclair contrived to load in a house full of guests. For the first two or three weeksshe bad bravely tried to sustain her part as hostess; she had pretended to be amused by the arnusemente of others, or, when unable to support eyen that poor simulation, had sat nt her embroidery frame and given thograce of her presence to the assembly. But now she was fain to bide berseli all day long in her own room*, or to walk alone in the fine old park, restricting her public ap­pearance to the evening, when she took her place nt the bead of the dinner table, and endured the frivolities of tbe drawing-roomafter dinner. Gilbert secretly resented this withdrawal, and refused to believe that the death of Baby Christabel was his wife’ssolo cause of grief. There was something deeper—a sorrow for the past—a regret that was intensified by Sir Cyprian's pres­ence in the neighborhood. ‘She knows of his being at Marcbbrook,of course,’ he told himself. 4 How do I know they have not met 2 She lives her own life, almost as much apart as if wa were in separate houses. She Las badtime and opportunitv for seeing him, and in all probability he is at Marchbrook only forthe sake of being near her.’ But Sir Cyprian had been at Marchbrook a week, ai d bad not seen Constance Sin­ clair. How the place would have remind­ed him of her, bad not her imago been al­ ways present with him in all times and places! Every grove and meadow bod itsmemory, every change in the fair pastoral Undscape its bitter-sweet ossociatiou. Marcbbrook and Davenant were dividedin some parts by an eight-foot wall,in others by an oak fence. Tbe Davenant side of the land adjoining Marcbbrook was copseand wilderness, which served as covert for game. Tbe Marcbbrook side,a wide stretch of turf, which Lord Clanyarde let off asgrazing he i to one of bis tenants. A rail­ ed-in plantation here and there supported the fi-tion that this meadow land was apark, and for hia own part Lonl Clanyarde declared that bo would just as soon look atoxeu as deer. The only feature of Marcbbrook Park was its avenues. One of these, known as the Monk's Avenue, and supposed to havebeen planted in the days when Marcbbrook was the site of a Benedictine monastery, was a noble area le of tall elms planted six­ty feet apart, with a grassy road between them. Tho monastery bad long vanished,leaving not a wrick behind, and the avenue now led only from wall to wall. Tbe owners of Davenant bad built a classic temple orsummer-house close against tbe boundary wall between tbe two estates, in order to secure the enjoyment of this vista, as itwas called in tbe days of Horace Walpole. The windows of this eummer-bouse looked down the wide avenue to the highroad, a distance of little more than a quarter of amile. This summer-honse bad always been a favorite resort of Mr*. Sinclair's. It over­ looked the home of her youth,and sho likedit on that account, for although Davenant was by furl be more beautiful estate, sho loved Marcbbrook best. chosen resort. Ho had apont many a nnm-xrer morning many a p-n»ive twilight, there by hl* mother'* aide, watching her aketch or hearing her play. Th# old-faah-ioned sqoare piano was there atill.perhap*. and the old engraving* on the wall*.4 Poor old place,4 he thougnt; 41 wonderif any one ever goes there now, or if it in quite given up to bat* aud owl*, and tbeapirite of the dead 2’ Ho atopped under the atone balcony which overhung Marcbbrook, on a levelwith, the eight-foot wall. In Gilbert Sin­ clair'#—or hi* architect'#—plan of improve­ments tbi# clnAsio inmmer-hnaie, a relic of a departed taate, bad been forgotten. Sir Cyprian wa* glad to find it unchanged,un­changed in any wiae, eave that it hud a more forlorn and neglected air than of old. The etono-work of the balcony was greenand gray with mo**e* and lichen#. The frame-work of tho window had not been painted for a quarter of n ccentnry. Theivy bad wnoderu.l ae it listed, over brick­ work aud stone, darting iharp-forked tongues of green into decaying mortar. SirCyprian looked np nt the well remembered window, full of thought# of the poet.4 Doe# «ho ever come here,I wonder 2' be «nid to himself; 4 or do they use the oldplace for a tool-house or an tipple shed 2’ Hardly, for there foil upon bis ear a few bare of plaintive symphony, played on a piauo of ancient tone—tbe pensive Broad­wood dear to his childhood—and than a voice, the pure and sweet contralto heknew too well, began Lord Hougbtou's pa­ thetic ballad,4 Strangers yet.4 Ho listened a# if bo lived but to hear.Oh, what pathos, what profound melan­ choly in that voice, pouring out its sweet­ ness to tho silent walls ! Regret, remorse,eorrew, too great for common language to express, are breathed in that flood of mel­ ody. And when the song is done tbe sing­ er's hand* fall on the key# in a crashing chord, and a wild cry—the sudden utter­ance of uncontrollable despair—goes up to heaven. Sho is them—so near him—alone iu beranguish. She, the only woman ho has over truly loved, tho woman for whom hewould give bis life as freely as he would spill a cup of water upon tho ground, and with as little thought of tbe sacrifice.The lower odgo of the balcony is within reach of hi# hand. Tho century-old ivy would afford easy footing for a less skilled athlete. To climb the ascent i« a# simpleas to mount the rigging of his yacht. In a minnte,before he had time to think, ho was in tho balcony, bo bad opened thoFrench window, ho was standing in the room. Constance Sinclair sat by tho piano, herarms folded on the shabby old mahogany lid, her urooDiug bead resting ou her arms, her face hidden. Sho was too deeply lostin that agony of hopeless grief to hear tbe rattling of the frail casement, the footstepon the floor. 4 Constance! ’ She started up aud confronted him, pale as ashes, with a smothered scream.4 My dearest, I beard your grief. I could not ke’p a way. Only for a fow minutes, only for a fow words, aud I will leave you.Oh, my love, how changed, how changed ! ’ A flood of crimson rushed into tbe pale face, and #3 quickly faded. Tbeu she gavehim her hand, with an innocent frankness that went to bis heart, so Lke tho Con­ stance of old—the pure and perfect typoof girlhood that knows not sin. 4 I do not mind yonr hearing mo in mysorrow,’ she said, sadly. 4 I come here be­ cause I feel myself away from all tho world.

There was comfort in this free speech—comfort in pouring her Borrow into the ear «f a friend who could verily■ymorthize. 4 Dear Mrs. Sinclair,’ said Sir Cyprian, gravely, when he bad allowed her to tell tbe story of her bereavement, 4 aa a veryold friend—one who has your welfare deep at heart—I must entreat you to struggleagainst this absorbing grief.

Nomotive, no thought that could have ehad- owed the purity of Gilbert Sinclair’s wife, had bis soul's desire been published to theworld,blended with the yearning of Sir Cyu- rian’a. Deepest pity and compassion mov­ed bim. Such sorrow, such loneliness as Constance Sinclair’#, were unutterably sacrad to the man who had loved and sur­rendered Constance Sinclair, Sir Cypriau lingered at Marchbrook, ami spent tba greater part of his days in ridingor walking over familiar grounds. He was too much out of spirits to Join Lord Clao- yarde iu the slaughter of innocent birds,and was uot a little bored by that frivol- rou* old gentleman's society in tbe winterevenings by the fire in die comfortable bachelor smoking-room—the only really ■Ung apartment iu that great bare house.

One bright, bleak day, when there wereflying enow-*torm# and interval# ef sun and blue sky, Sir Cyprian—having actuallypacked hia portmanteau end made arrange- laeuls for being driven to the station to natch an afternoon train—took a final ram­ble in Marc I* brook Park.

It has been decided that Mr. Gibson shall meet Mr. Cartwright again this evening. A Reform journal of this section of the Province—the enlightened peninsula of Western Ontario—concludes a dolefnl ar­ ticle on the new Cabinet, in this rtraiu :— “Now that tho new Council Board is com­ pleted all we have to do is to watch its perfortnaners, criticize its blunders, etc., and bide our time."

Tbe building was throng­ ed to its utmost capacity, and the greatestenthusiasm prevailed. When Sir J<*hu entered the applause was traiuentlous, tlio whole audienos rising to their foot undoheoring. The Premier was attended on this occasion of his first public utteranceafter receiving the seals of officii from Lord Duffurin, by Mr. Mackenzie Bowcll, Hon.Mr. Langevin, Hon. Mr. Chapleau, Mr.Vallee. M. 1’., aud Messrs. Garneau, An­ gers, Caron, Rondeau, 4c. When the Pres-iilent, Mr. Dulegrave, introduced Sir John tbe apnlausu was tremendouB.Sir John Macdonald expressed his regret that he could uot address the meeting iu the French language, the laognage of hisgreat friend, his alter ego, who h/vl been called his “ Siamese twin,” Sir G.

When he thoughthow bis Government bad for a length of time to depend for existence upon tbe French majority that stood at the back ofSir George Cartier, ho felt that eectional- ism shonLl be forgotten aud tho interestsof Canada considered as a whole. Many a time ho had been told by Lis enemies in Ontario that he hod sold himself to LowerCanada, while be knew thatthrine who ha l opposed tho great party which tried tomak» of Canada n great nation had blamed Sir George Cartier for selling Lima* If to Ontario. Despite this ho bad now thegratification of telling them that in tliis stronghold of Gallieanism the people ofOntario greeted them and join'd bands with them around the banner on which had been emblazoned the single w»rd-“ Canada." not “ Quebec." or “ Ontario."or “ Nova Scotia," but simply essentially “ Canada." It was by this imtx>rtant andnational policy that his friends bad fine- c<-eded while taking 29 majoritv in the Province of Quebec in securing 88 majorityin the Grit Province of Ontario.

CQ CD CZ2 w « E U1 bb France under the Republic is about to pines herself in a state of preparedness for war and no mistake. The war estimates for 1879 ask that the Chambers will vote the sum of 533,043,150 francs. The last war estimates of the Empire amounted only to 873.000,000 francs, Tbs military and naval forces of France, to-day, include about ons-tenth of the entire population, or 3,690,000 men ; but this includes all the reserve forcti. Tbs army that could be placed at once iu the field for active ser­ vice under a process of mobilization, is is estimated at 1,180,00 men. It is es­ timated that since the fall of the Empire Fruuce hu expended at least 81,000,000,- 0C0 upon the army alone. An Dip.irtant Royal order lias been-pro- mulgated in Cuba by the Spanish authori­ ties. It directs that henceforth if any slave, from whatever cause, elull enter the territorial or maratimejurisdiction of Spain or of any of her coloniea or possursiona ■iwtaids of Cuba, sneh Hava shall be de- •’anl fne, and all children Lorn of slave m >ibm, alter tlw latter have touched snil of Spain, shall also be declared free. The erder further providea for the indemnificn- tiun of Lbs owners of slaves liberated iu Ibis manner. The case which lei! to this dteuton being arrived at was that of one Ferrer, a fugitive, who had made his way to Madrid, and tber# appealed for docu­ menta to aava himself from c'URequr ncea, The principle herein established is-a mt7'« In the right Jirwton, and bef >rs tong may kad to the ultimate emauclpatioa of all the Cuban alavea. The story that Mr. Darius Doty, Collec- tor of Customs at Goderich, bad swerved from the strict path of duty and Lad come Lore u agent of Mr. Plait to secure the services of Mr. Joseph Gibson, is false. Mr. Gibson has gone to Huron in tbs in­ terests of Mr. Platt, and Mr. Doty Lu Leeu io Ingersoll on business not al all con- lusted with election matters. Mr. Doty arrived hare on Motyley night, the 14th lost., late,while Mr. Gibson was at Browns­ ville, and Mr. Gibsou went to Goderich on Tuesday naorumg without seeing Mr. Doty. 'For tbs information of the overzealous falsifier who circulated the above story we may just Mf that whatever corm non deuce t The baby talk which some of the leading Reform journals have indulged in during the past week or two followed up by the tmalicr fry is as amusing as it is ridiculous ! and bhdws a weakness and want of stami- , na which is lamentable. Sir John Mnc- , donald has been berated for dilatoriness . nnd want of action—of attempting to dolny , and shirk the responsibility of introducing |the National Policy which was so emphat­ ically endorsed by the whois Dominion on the memorable 17ih of Seutembcr. He is asked why be has not formed his Cabinet? Wuy is Parliament not to be called togeth­ er before the usual time? and, why aro wo not to be blessed by the enforcement of tho |National Policy nt once. Ero this number of the Tribune reaches its readers the Cab­ inet will bo formed and the names of the respective members announced. A more intclligont.capable and experienced body of , meu has never filled the offices which will be assigned them. They will be possessed of that training which experience alone can give. Sir John at the close of the late elec­ tion found himself surrounded with such a gulaxy of tafontod statesmen that it has required some discrisituation to make such u choice as would serve tho very best interests of the country. Wo believe that lie has been successful in this and it is only necessary to took over the list of names of the gentlemen wh) have been entrusted with port-folios to convince the most ultra opponent of the new Ministry that but one objfct has actuated the ebieftau iu tho se­ lection, and that bus been the welfare,pros­ perity and advancement of the country. These m< n have now befoie them a great and mighty work to perform and it wotibl be the rankest loly for thorn to iaaugorate and institute the ra-licul changes which are necessary to be ma lo without first thor­ oughly maturing and considering their nluus. This will take some little time to do and if it were done hurriedly do ono would be so ready as ihose who are now crying out about delay—a false cry no doubt—to find funk. The men who have taken up- uii themselves the responsibility of office are patriotic and painstaking statemcn and we have itttic fear bat ‘bat they will at the earliest possible mom^ iutru.4,1c» such measures for the revival of Uaao and the protection of our native industries as may be expelieut. One thing is certain, the bickering and petulsnt snark of the op­ ponents of the new tuinktry will have verv little weight with Parliament and the i country.

In spit* of this, ho said that people were not then taxed as thevwere now. Tho Rouges said that Sir Johnwas die most fortnnnte man that ever lived, that he resigned when times were good, leaving them to govern io hard times,and was now back again jn«t when times w«re once more good.

It was the old story. “ put a beggar on horseback andhe'll ride to the devil.” The late Govern­ ment, with their majority of 8 1 to 90, laughed at public opinion, and defied theOpposition to move for white-washing com­ mittees.

Several of Hie wider streets and squares, and about forty woikslrqis iu and abont Paris, are now regular? iigbte 1 byelectricity. The avenue leading from the Grand Opera House is lighted throughoutits entire length, and presents a good ex­ ample of street lighting. The lamps are placed on posts, prveisely like the gaslamps, except that the posts are taller nnd wider apart. The lumps are enclosed in largfc opal glass globes, nnd beyond this donot differ extremely from the gas lamps. As the daylight fades a wav theie comes, without warutug, a sudden flush, and everylig it iu the street is burning with an in­ tense white glare. The effect is like day­ light, except iuiitmsity. E‘e.-y purl ofthe street, tho imine ise traffic in the road­ way ami the people on the walks, every architectural detail of the buildings to thetop of the roofs, ev> ry object however min­ ute in the windows, tho flowers on the balconies, are plainly visible and in theirnatural colors. The actinic effect is the same as by.day aud all colors.I»>th real and artificial, take their true sbadtB. Everysign <>u wall or omnibus, the minutest patterns in fabrics and the finest print can plainly be seen. People seated before thec ifi’B rend their papers by the ai<l of tbe light* on the opposite side of the way, and yet the most delicate complexions andsoftest tint* in fibrics do not «uff.-r in the white glare of the lamps. Every *tone in tho road is plainly visible, and the horsesmove swiftly along as if confident of their footing. Such illumination it the pref<-ctiou of street lighting. Neighboring streets,though more brilliantly lighted with gas than any American streets, appear dark and gloomy by contrasts, B-sides theAvenue de I’ Opera there are a number of titeaters, halls and public buddings aud shops, lighted without or within, and tneach case the electric light baa snsp»ndeJ gas, or it is used where gn* wonld be loo expensive.

OX FORD T R IBU N E •f t Fifty flcntirter WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 23, ICTS, Milk and Water. The frequent exposure* of the petty cheat ing practiced by milk dealers who arc detect­ ed in watering milk, ^iv« * wry low, miser able exhibition of human weaknea. That the paltry gains made in thia way should be suffic­ ient to induce a man to commit so mean an ant, is sad to contemplate. It is true that the supposed difficulty of detection adds greatly to the temotation ; but when the delinquent milk-dealer or d.vrym v> su qv»w detection of hi* moan dishonesty to ta difficult, 'he maker a serious mistake. The truth is.there is noth­ ing nasicr to detect th n adultcratim of n> k' Milk is a standard sul«ta«ce of so regular it ompojition that the addition of a small por­ tion of water to it or the subtraction of a sms’] quantity <F crerro firm it, can ta detected aB cvsily as the addition «>f w.-tir to oil. If tl>’fi we.-<> wilt i- be, by all w<>< handle milk.the in bir—-n-nt to become rogue* hr thu false security hitherto frit, would no linger bperatejund ttarp would bo less of this cheating. It is a stigma upnn fanners generally, who aro supposed to bo honest by breeding, and to be nnused to the ways that are dark, which are looked for more in the city streets than in rnral and sylvan abodes, that some of them should fall into the evil ways of the city deal- ere and practice knavery upon the factorymen. ‘‘‘Patrons” the fat torymcn call them I but from such patronage as that one would wish to be delivered. Ina country paper there was recently published a list of " patrons" who were fined for watering milk. Ono of these men was fined last year and on this occasion was glad to pay $150 to ta released. Wise man! ho immediately sold his cows and rctir. ed from the business of “patronizing” the “Swiss Oeck” factory. The whole farming community suffer from these delinquencies “An honest farmer” is now coming to be used ns a sarcasm; in irony, rather, for what the words purport. Are there no honest farmers any mom? Verily the milk business, the fruit business, and the baled hay business in which “watering,” and “vaneering,” and “ padding” with cordwood, are so frequently practiced, would leai one to suppose that honesty be* become an old-time and forgotten virtue. But we don’t believe it yet. J able on Watermelon Pickle. Old lady Jones borrowed MY*. Browne’sreceipe for waking watermelon pickle tbe other day, nnd being hard of hearing, aud as she couldn’t see to read well, sl.e gother grandson, Jackie, to read it for her. Jackie took the paper like a dutiful child, and, holding it upside down, commenced :“ Take a green watermelon—” “ Whv, Jakin, ain't you mistaken; I thought tho melon must be ripe.” “ 0, wat’a tho matter wid you ; jewever see n watermelon wat wasn't green ? ”•' Cut tho melon into four hidves—*' “ But tin re ain’t only two halves to any­ thing; but I don't behev. you are readinghat right, Jnkie.” “ Wi II, don't halve to. But anyhow that's what the resect says. Then soak the watermelon in a pint onp—” “ Whv, h<>w can yon • o that ?”“ Well, I ain’t here to tell yon tbe where­ as nnd tbe bowf 'res. I'm Just r oi’ing tbefacts, trial you can rut in the plul >s< phy to suit your taste Ait, r soaking tin melon put it in a skillet nnd fry it for four days.” “ ! wondr r if Mrs. Brown sent me such a icci-ipe as that,” eaid tbe old ladv, but Jackie kept ou.“ Then pnt the watermelon in a quart bowl and pour over it a gallon of vinegar,taking care tv i to spill the vinegar—” “ I'd just like to know b.w j> u enn p ■a gallon into a quart cup without spill > t any »»f it.” But Jakie continued. “ Then sift a p*ck of red peppers through a milk strainer over tho melon, and to oue cup of butter add tbe white and the yolksand the shells of throe eggs, nnd throw in tho old h-n that laid 'em. and four sticks of cinnamon drops, nnd a bottle of Dr.Mary Wnlkr-r’s Vinegar bitters, nnd two K nspoonfuls of snsafras, nnd ten grains ofqui»it«, nnd run it through a coffee mill, i.ud h t it stand till it f< imints, and tbei put it in n tin can, and then tie it to a dog', tail—this will stir it up ta the right consist­ ency—and then yon can turn il off into crocks aud have il ready for use. Serve itup cold and then spread it on mince pie, nnd it makes a capi al desert,” and Juki slid out of the door, and left tbe old lad? looking like a wrinkle on a monument. “ I golly," said Jake, “ bet yonr sweet life she won't ask mo to read any more re­sects !’* Q a t a r r H Catarrh of the Nasal Cavities, Acuta, Chronic, and Ulcerative, Hay Fever, or Rose Catarrh, Catarrh of the Eye and Ear and Catarrh of the Throat, 6CCCESSFVLLT T2X1TKD WITH SANFORD’S RADICAL CURE. rtATuTui ■■ ■ dlwsse of the ■uiMV'W i™.bsar.s.V ♦■□•n»r.«?nl> *r:l 'ZOnstltoliOM >irr ..........la tsdlviaual cases.

In many portions of the country, there has been such an excess of rain, that artifical wat­ ering has not suggested itself. The summer o’ last j ear. as well as the one just put, hav­ ing been unusualy moist, there is the greater probability that the coming one will be dry. There are few localities that do not have their years of drouth, and when the facilities arc at hand.there should always be provision for irri­ gation. It may be that watering will be rcaly needed but once in three or five years; it is this uuccrtainy that makes it all the more necess­ ary to be prepared for drouth when it does come. Every experienced fruit grower has known seasons when an abundance of water would have given him a yield of strawberries, the profits on which would have paid a much larger outlay than is ordinarily required to pro. iride means to irrigate the whole garden; and ••> with other crops. In our uncertain climate, the control of water in both directions is neces­ sary to best success. Ability to remove ex c<*ss by drainage aud to supply the defi ;ency by irrigation, give the enterprising cultivator a great advantage over the one who “ takes things a* they coinc.” This is a most favor- able month for all work requiring the removal of earth,and such improvements as road mak­ ing grading, etc., are not only more sure of being made, but they will be tatter done now than in the busy, but often cold and cheerless days of spring. The Political “ Sons of Toil.” “ Feller-citizens,” said he, '• I'm a bar < fisted son of toil. I'm a brick-layer by trade, nnd not a bit ashamed of it. No,Sir ; I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in­ to tuy month or cradled iu the lap of luxuty. I'm a self-made man, gentlemen,” “ You’d b; tter hi.vj let that job out,” re­ marked n voice in the rear of the ball. He scorned to notice the imo.-ruptkn,lut prccseded. “ Yes, feller-citizens, I’m proud of hav­ ing risen by honest industry, proud of np-pearin to solicit your snfirago as a trne re­ presentative of labor; as one which has contributed to build up this community Intbe sweat of his brow, and the work of his hands. [Applause.] As I was saying. I’m a bricklayer by trade. I ’ve worked toraise more than half tho palatial mansions, magnificent commercial structures, a d beaveu-pomling spires which beautify anadorn our town. [Great enthusiasm ] And here, right here, gentlemen, are tl e identical tools with which I have carveiout my way to prosperity.” Hrre thu orator examined a trowel and hammer, amid deafening plan, i a. “Pass ’em this way,' said an excited lirtencr, evidently belonging to the work­ ing class; “ let mo gazo onto them relics.”The tools were banded to him, and he scrutinized them with deep interest. “ You say you work as a brick layer ? ”said he, turning sbtrply to the orator. “ Yes.” “ And with them tools ? ”“ Yes, sir ; those aro the very tools I bought when I made my first start as a journeyman. To them I owe all my pros­perity.” “ Well, then, I must say yon deserve great credit. So doe* any man that couldlay bricks with such weapons. “ Gentle­ men,” turning tn audience, “ jnat look at ’ein.

But now, gentlemen, comes realities which speak facts, and if, gentlemen, you will only let judgment be ruled by judgment you will soon see that I lay before you the truth and the truth only. In tho first, Gentlemen, just look at those who keep cutters and pay them from fifteen to twenty dollars per week. Does that look as if they can sell cheap I I say no. Then, also, they have to pay for the making of every article they get up. Does that speak cheapness ? I think not Now, Gentlemen, I am not exposed under all these great expenses. I cut every article mysel£ and just as soon as my cutting is done I am ou the bench. By this means, Gentlemen, I can sell cheaper and will, which you will find the case by purchasing your Clothes at the Inger»oil Clothpg House. My Fall and Winter Stock is new very complete in every article. I have also a very excellent assortment of Gent’s Hats of tbe very Latest Styles which I am happy to tell you are tak­ ing the attention of the gentlemen very fast’ Another advantage.—All Cloth bought at this shop, not wanting me to make, I cut free of charge.
