John MutUd^s, encumbered with Illsmother’s wraps artil a camp-stool, was nev­ ertheless made tiwaro by a tmbtlo con­ sciousness that he had neighbors. Theyoung man liked warmth, color, light, xud perfume just la proportion ns life had yielded him nniiS of HieJo luxttries, and thepicture presented to View was certainly A pretty one. Tne door of cabin No. 49 was open, revealing the box-liko interior to JohnMathews’ casual glance. A young lady of graceful, elegaxt figure stood besido the port-hole, which framed n tiny nlarineview of glancing waves, nnd tlio pilot’sboat skimming past like a soa'-bird With white wings unfurled to tho breeze, and a gill was soatnd beyond placing crimsonroses in tho marble basin. A ray of light, intensified by the reflection of the blue sen below, foil on tho glossy black hair of theformer girl, end thence on the rippling brown tresses of her companion as tlio lat­ ter ent sorting her wealth of ros:e. * I like black hair best,’ thought John,nnd etauibh d .on with bis burden, just iu time to receive a peevish repremand from bin irfotber both tor bis awkwardness anddie delay. •Did you know, Mugirat, that ship­ board is the greatest possible field for flir­tation ?’ observed the girl with tbo nites, gtoncli'.g nt herself in a littlo mirror, and . bolding a creamy hud to her lips.‘ Of course,' replied Margaret, languidly, nnd tukniug a profile to the light as perfect ns those of the nntiquo cnuicos.• I dare sny yon will have a dozen offers before ftu icnch Liverpool,' pnraned theyonngeb girl, with kindling animation—‘ that is, if yon are not ssasiek.' Margaret liuktd her fair hands together,and studied llictri M?ftectivelv. ’ I mny have orfe, you silly little thing,’ r.hu said, with tlto conscious Miperioritv ofthe beauty bf the family. * Sidney llaugh ton is a fellow-passenger, Dolly.’ ' tli’ncious'.’ exclaimed Dorothy, prickingheiscif smartly With a thorn, astonished L‘lrte eyes gniini rtp into tb.C caurf di\rk onesof her sisten 1 Dili you know * Can any one make n Coincidence out of that ?

' Youthful innocence is pleasant in thiswicked world,' thought tho ' best match.'I wonder if I shall propose ?' Mrs. Mutbows plucked her son's sleeve impatiently,' J«lin, yon nre pushing my bonnet away with tho umbrella handle.' • I beg vour pardon, mother,' said John,awkwardly.

In tho Finance department particularly Mr. Tilley Land a large amount of money falling due on tho first ot the year for which no provision had been made by his predecessor, Mr. Cart­ wright. He found it necessary at once to go to England and negotiate a loan of £8,000,000 sterling, and notwithstanding tho discredit which had fallen upon the standing of th& Dominion through the “muddling and mixing" of Mr. Mackenzie's Finance Minister, Mr. Tilley was enabled to carry out bis gigantic project with great­ er expedition and on more advantageous terms than had ever been done before in the history of Canada. It has required no small amount of labor to get tho reports of the different departments ready for sub­ mission to parliament on the assembling of the House, and instead ol the bickering and nurcst which has been displayed by the Reform press the people of Canada -should congratulate themselves that Parlia­ ment has been called together, at an un- prccedently early date,when all the adverse circumstances are taken into account. The activity of the new Ministry in bringing about such a favorable result should be an earnest of the good intentions of Sir John and his supporters. It should givo confi­ dence to tho propio, and will, no doubt, have great influence in bringing those better times to which wo all look forward so hopefully. Messrs.

While their neighbors on the mainland are discussing qutfilions connec­ ted with the West India trade, they are arranging to at once reap the profits accru­ ing from shipping white oats to the West India islands. Those islands at present receivotheir supply from Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland and other ports of Eprope. The price of oats is much bighar in those countries than in Prince Edward Island aud the distance of transportation much greater.

The readings and recitations last evening in the Y. M. C. A: Hall, by Profs. Harrison and Meek, were not as well attended as the reputation and ability of those gentlemen de­ served, but those who were there hail the pleasure of hearing 80m*. of the finest speci­ men of elocutionary interpretation ever given in Ingersoll. The rendition of Hbmnus O’Brien, by Prof. Meek, was a masterly exi- bition of truth eloquence and pathos, which was received with unbounded applause, while his humerous selections, which included Samantha Smith’s marriage to “Josiah Allen" and “Brother Watkin*," was inimit­ able aud convulsed tho audienee, calling forth a hearty and genuine applause. The recita­ tions by Prof. Harrison could not be excelled. The pathetic poem entitled "Mary's Wish" was rendered with a delicacy of expression, which at once captured the sympathy of the entire audience, while his “Creed of the Bells’* was a marvelous display of elocution. Shrill in voice manipulation, tho bell tones bringing out the different church creeds with such force and vividness a* to locate at once in the minds of tlt^amlicnco the identity of each bell.

It certainly does not spesk well forthe literary culture of the citizen* of the townof Ingersoll. It is a disgrace to a thriving and enterprising town that so little interest ismanifested by the clergy and church goingpeople in entertainment* of this character. ■ f yro haxl more such entertainments as webad on M?"'iaY evening iaat, tho world would be better for it.

At Goldstone,tho eccentric of one of the engine* broke, andtherefore it was disabled. The snow appoar.ed to bo heavier as they advanced northwards, and they d-d not reach Drayton till 9.30 p.tn.Slowly the iron horse drew its burden along,and the speed grew perceptib'y slower everymile. At another station another engine was attached to tho train, and they succeeded inretting the train within a mile and a half ofPalmerston^ That would be about twoo’clock in the morning. Then an immense enow drift, at least ten foot high, and cover­ing at least throe quarters of a mile of track,was discovered. Tho train was backed up forabout half a mile, all tho steam tho two en­ gines could stand pul on. and away sho wentlickctv-scoot. It was exciting and very cold.Thu half-mile was ended and tire train was hopelessly buried, up to the car windows,in snow. Passengers then began to wonderwhat they would do. Some few of tbe for­ tunate ones tod lunches, and others wereinion* oven a piece of bread or the slightestvestige of money. And tho latter werefarther from their destination than tho for­ tunate one*. Well, they shared hash, nndthings looked comfortable enough for a shorttime. The conductor, proceeded by a train hand, went to Palmciston on foot, bnt whenthey come back passengers were ordered tostay in the cars, because engine* were conningfrom Palmerston to clear tho snow, and it was possible they would lose their way, and witherdie in a snow drift or be killed by one of theadvancing engines, which «nuld not bo seenten yards off. The passengers then tried tomako themselves as much at homo as waspossible under the circumstances, and most of them got to sleep. A few hnnra later themore wakeful of Aho passengers felt a jar, an I heard a crash.The engine from Palmerston, had miscalcu­lated the thickness of the snow drift, nnd had pitched into tho standing engines and train.One of the engines was pretty badly smashed,and the other two sustained some minor dam­ages. The train was so firmly imbedded in the snow that it did not move a foot whenthis big crash came.

Temperance Address.—Mr. Joseph Gib­ son delivered a short but very pointed ad­ dress io the Association Hull on Sunday afternoon List on the subject of temperance He concluded by saying that the surest and safest way to bring about prohibition was for tho mother* of Canada to train up their children to discountenance tho use ef in­ toxicating liquors in every form, and then when tho present drinking generation bad passed away, it would be replaced by men and womeu who had wrested tho demon from bin stronghold, drinking and drunk- ones* would bo a vice of tho past, the world would not deplore thousands of des litnto women and their families, between whom aud starvation only stands tlieueedlo and the wesh-tub, and our fair country saved from Hie withering blight which now stalks through the laud with impunity.

And although a considerable portion of our paper will be devoted to the discussion of Politic* and Political Econo­ my, we shall not claim tlie honor of repre­ senting. nor shall we rretend to express the views and sentiment* of either of the two opposing parties. In th* discussion of question* affecting the welfare of this great Dominion, our highest aim shall be to fid- rance broad and liberal view* in a truly independent spirit, making onr journal in this, as in all other respects, an inde­ pendent liberal newspaper.

Emerson is a rising village of 1,000 inhabitants, situated on the Red River, sixty-tivo miles south of the city of Winnipeg, and although only fsur years old is one of the most important wheat markets in that Province. The number of the International before us bears date Dec. 26, and contains a largo amount of local and other news, anil altogether is a creditable sheet for the size of Emerson, and deserves well at the hands of the residents of that ucw country. A Curious Surgical Operat ion.—Theeye of a workman in an iron foundry here was recuntly injured by soma moltoo iron being spattered iuls it. Under medical •treatment the wounded member soon heal- ed, but with the upper and lower liJs fast­ened to the sight of the eye. To remedyibis difficulty Dr. VanDnyati separated the tinJiPy jointed members with a knife, thereby necessarily removing a part of theconjunctiva of the eye. In the anticipation of this loss tho doctor bad a rabbit in readi­ ness, under the influence of ether, and atthis stage of the operation took out a piece of the conjunctiva from one of the insen­ sible animal’s eyes and jmmediaUly placedit upon that of the injured man, where it speedily adhered, and uow has become a part of the human eye.—Syracuse, N. Y-,Journal. Business at the Hub.—A correspon­ dent writing fiom Woodstock says, bnsi- d«is has been at a complete eland still' owing to the manner in which the roads leading to town are blocked with snow. An immense amount of mail matter which has been accumulating for two or three daye was dispatched on Saturday on sleighs for tbs north and south. Traffic on tbs P. D. & L. H. R. R. has been com­ pletely suspended fox the present. A great number of men are busily at work clearing the track, and it is thought that by now it will agaiu be open fer traffic. About a dozen prisoners under the charge of Mr. Payne are shoveling th* snow from the side­ walk* on Light and othar street*.

Thcincreased attention lately turned to- ward ’rafik production in winter renders it necessary to a tody the best syatem of j-reduc­ing tbe merit appropriate food for this purpose. Food of a Ducceaafui nature seem* best adapted to inoreM^tho secretion of milk : or, at least,dairymen have been lod to regard grass as the )>est food for a miteh cow. It has been sup­ posed that the best-flavored milk could not beproduced from dry food, and that, as milkcontains eighty-seven per cent of water,. it require* food composed in a large proportion of liquid to produce it. Tbe best argument insupported thia ia that Nature furnishes the r-ucculent food during summer, when the larg­ est quantity of milk is pro<luec<l, Mid that itis always safe to imitate Nature. In Eng- Jaud. France, and Germany green food i* largely produced for winter feeding, in theform of succulent roots. This is a most im­portant part of their system of feeding, and it certaihly hn tho effect of keeping animalshealthy, by counteracting the heating andconstmrting effects of a Jry diet. in winter. Another hnporUnt quality of succulent over dry fijjod In iw greater digestibility. A largerpercentage of tbe food contained in grass isdigestible than after the same grass hu been dried into bay.Our readers are scattered over a la^ga area,and, therefore, are subject to a great variety of climate ; and what ia suitable for one foca.-ity myyflot bo best for soother. In the pre­ent stage of argiculture in the West, it would be labor lost to attempt to substitute the root crop for its gr-at staple, Indian corn. Wcde not advise it; yet even there a small quan­ tity o£ root* may be profitably grown, to be used a* a healthful change of food in winter.And aa. Vie west is just now reaching after the profits and lanrcls of' dairying, and jiot only Kccenfully competing with the East,but Ixmtiog her in her own market on the pri»e of." gilt-edged " butter, the West may■weir afford”tn stddy tlie root crop as a furthermeans of continued success. The mangel wurtzel may be produced upon her soil at the rate of 20 to 40 ton* per acre ; and, if we al­low 11 per cent to fa digestible food, it will give frnM! 4,400 to 8,800 pounds of digestible load upon one acre excluding water acdwrewh -iitoo. But,if wc call the average of 25ton* peF'aore, thoii we shall have an average 5,500 pound* of digestible food an acre. Now, 40 bushel* «>f coni ia a large average per acrefor th* best corn states of the M cat •, and, if we alloK44 pound* per L-uihel as digestible dry food,we shall have 1,760 pounds oi diges­tible food upon an acre, or more than three time* ka much digestible food from the man gel* as from tho eorn,Mangelisaod eugar beet* as foot! produce.an excellent quality of milk. In fact, they may be considered as the best grass laid upfor the winter. These roots, as well as car­ rots, az* greatly to be desired a* winter food for milch cow* ; and, if the middle WesternState* insist upon the greater cheapness of corn and Otfaergraiti a* food for milch cows, still tie East and the Pacific coast can prod­uce more food with tho same labor in the root -crop than in the com crop. Harris Lewi*, tlie veteran dairyman of Her­kimer Cocaty, N. Y., *trtes that he raisedlieeta In 1877 for 5J cents per bushel. This i* less than the cost of the same amount ofnutriment in corn or grass ; and a given amount of nutriment in beets or carrots i* worth rtore than the same amount in hay or com, because it is in a more digestible co'i- ditionend calculated to promote the health of the rttitnaL Mr." WSjliara C.Vaier, of fang Islanil, whohit* been vary »uece**ful in root culture, adopt* tire ride system. This consist* in thoroughly preparing tfioroglily preparing thegrouiid by plowing and harrowing Then h«turn* farrow* six inches deep with a double mold'board plow (but a common plow may beused,) thirty inches apart. These furrow* sre half-filled with stable manure, coirqiostol with turf from road* and ditches and well doootnnMqd; Then he run* * plow on eachride ot th* furrow, forming a rhigo and cover­ ing with mannre. He naw runs a heavy roller over three ridge* isnd flattens them, sothat a zaed drill may fa run on them, and de­posit* tbasetd directly over the manured. Eight pontsdwrt seed are drilled to sn acre. In rich, light «oi|« excellent crops may be obtain­ed by drilling in ou a wcll-priqiartd sur­face, without th* ridging system, twenty-four inches apart. The varieties most used are Webb's Mammoth. and Norbiton'* Giant,which are red, and North and Kinver Globo which are yellow. Mr. Crosier estimate* hi* yield it an average of forty tons per acre. Weinteqdevl only to make a few •uggostions on the subject rt roots, and hope our readers will give these suggeathras early attention, for webelieve tba root crop is to utey an importantpart ia tba dairy system ol thiacounlry. —„V<i-tional lAar-fUoek JonraaL pounda, and for ten years—the average period of usefulness of dairy cone —it will ho 29,200pan nil*, nr 11,6 tunx, which 1a the cost ofmaintaining for ten yeara 400 |>onnda of lire ' weight* not required h r producing milk, andwhidh »* worthno more at the end of theterm than it wfa at the liegiuning, If we convit the hay at f 7 a ton, the cost of lustaning fOOpannds <*f estra weight ten yeara will be 1102.20, or 110 22 a year. If this valuationin not satisfactory, the reader may figure forhimeelt. and see how long ho can maintaiu extra live weight before it will cat un its ▼nine in the cost of maintenance, and bring itself hate debt. The time, I apprehend, will not fa extended much beyond one year. The dairy of Mr. I. Boies, of Illionis is agood one frt setting the use of large cows in ilsbest light. Tn the first place, Mr. Boies is widely known as one of the beat of dairy managers. He buys and milks a great manycows, and his exj>crience and close observe-tion have made nitnfone of the best judges of milking qualities. He never selects a ]xx»reow. He fays Krge eows, and feeding witha very liheralhand, his hard is heavy, lie- viewed in Juns, the yeae following their yield oI3UJ p<mndk of butter per cow, they wereerthnatad to have an average live weight of1.2H prand* per head. They were in high order, and many .of them could have been sent to the shambles at a good price. Ho takes suck kind care of hi# animals that it wouldbe difficult to find a man who would got more, cither of milk or beef, from a herd of cows than he. M would 1 >e very interesting to com­pare tfa product? of his dairy with those of an­other having an equal number of Jcrseya, <r olfar small coaa, which were treated as wall ftS be troafo his. But no such henls can be named. Good managers of k-M herds ot smaller-sized cows arc often met with.Oliver Bron son. of South Stockton, Cha.’!’”-qua County, N. Y.,has aherd of twenty nativ’s, which viewed in May hat, were estimated to weigh JoO |K>unds per head less than llio herd ,of Mr B«>i<w. They arc kindly carod for, and produced last year 302 pounds of butter per cow.Mr. 0. C. Blodgett, of Fredonia, N. i-.has s heard of twenty-tiv’ Jerseys and their gradte. all small cows. Viewed also in Muylast, they were estimated to have an average live weight of 780 pounds. Though very skilfully managed and fed, theic yield last year was 234} pounds of butter to the cow—a diminutive yield compared with those of Messrs. Boies and Bronson—of 80 pounds percow less than one. and 67} less than theother. Judged by the usual standard of pro­ duct per cow, this dairy would by niort dairy­ men be ut once set down as as the least deairable, ami the least profitable of the three.Bnt, in fact, the reverse Is true. Mr Blod­ gett’s dairy is the most profitable in the list,for he gets the most blitter in proportion tojlic food consumed. As 234 is jnat 3-10 of 780. each of his cows (omitting the add half-pound of butter per cow) produces annually 3-10 of her live weight in butter. Sinw the con sumption of food is in. proportion to Jiveweight, Mr. Bronson's cous, to do ns well a«Mr. Blodgett's should produce 315 pounds of buttci per cow, instead of 302, or else theyshould weigh but 1,000 pounds, instead of1,050. Mr. Boies' cows should produce 360 .pounds in place of 314J. or else weigh only | 1,048, instead of 1,200 pounds per head. 1In comparison with tho Jerseys, the owner] of the larger natives is the Josir by having - continually to support forty-four j-ounds perc.»w of needless live weight, and. Mr. Boies, with his still heavier Shorthorns, is the loser by constantly sustaining 152 pounds per cownot required in the production of nvllc. These figures arc based upon the estimated we’g'ite of the herds compared, an 1 arc liable not tofafpcrfectly exact, bnt this does not impair their usefnlncss in illustrating the propriety of observing the proper relation between sizeand f<Kxl and product, in estimating the re­lative valne of dairy cows. They bow that the best criterion by which to relet cows isnot by their size, nor product per bead, butIlf’ a comparison ot product with food con­ sumed. But some foods are liable to varia­ tions in their nutritious values, making closecomparisons difficult, and shire the amount of nntriment rcquireil to sustain life betrs a close relation to the weight to be sustained, it wii)be sufliccntly exent. and the fairest, plainest, and most trustworthy and convient gui le in the selection of cows of different sizes andbreods.is to compare their products in milk or butter, or cheese,with their own live weights. —.V.

An Italian gentleman with a nice little in­ come had a nice little cei-vant girl, whosaid to him one morning : “ Oh, if you plense won't you give mb three francs to buy a lottery ticket with ? I dreamed lastnight tbat’No. 41.144 was going to draw tbe capital prize, aud I want to buy that unm- tar."lie gave the girl the three franes, and, next day, on happening to look at the report of the drawing, saw thnt No. 41,144 haddrawn the capital prize of 518, 652. 85 line, or, to spenk more accurately, $1CO, 000. IteturniDg quietly to the house he con­cealed his emotion and anid to tho aervant girl : “Susan; I have long observed with approbation your piety, tannty, modesty,skill in the nrt of cookery and other good qualities calculated to adorn tho highest station. Bo mine. Let mo lend you to thehymenia! alt ar. No delay, Just aa you are. “ Honest Injun?" said the blusuiugvirgin. “Yon tat. I swear by yonder silver spoon that tips with beauty all tho fruitpio top"——“ Then connt me in, and regard me here­ after in the light of turtle-dove.” “Hasten, ttan, Susan ; put on yonr bon­net and shawl and let us take a walk around tho block to tbo old fraar'n cell, where we shall be made one."Ina few minutes tho bride-elect return- cd, clad in a red shawl, with a black velvet, bonnet trimmed with Bunflowcrs and Vic­toria regia. In a few minutes more the ceremony had been performed, and thetwain were oue. They returned to thohouse, when the husband carelessly took up tha paper and said, with a well coun­terfeited start of surprise: “ Darling, everything Is bright for us upon onr wedding-day. Yon remembertho ticket in tbelottery that yon dreamed about and I gave you three francs to buy ?Where is it, uiy.pwnest ?" “ 0,1 didn’t bny it. I spent tho money for this duck of a bonnet."
