CHAPTER I. A SUMMER EVENING, Lady Carmichael Iny resting near tbe open French window, while Lilian aud I nat together on tho step of it, looking outnpon th* view from this new hoinp of cure.From our feet the lawu sloppe* to the cliffs; beyoud, tho sen l iy wide nnd alill,with the sunset flush upon its walers. Wo had only reached the Bryn Arddail tins very afternoon, and after our Londonspring tho fresh sen-breeze was most de­ licious to u«. Lilian, with her fuco raisedto meet it, heaved a lung sigh of lhe purestand deepest enjoyment. Lady Carmichael smiled a little, seeing this. 4 Lilian, youwill soon droop with ennui here,’ she said, ' and pray me to take you abroad, or tu one of those gay country houses to whichyou are invited—ary where, in short, so that yon may feel yourself again a star nmoug wom*n, a littlo goddess amongmen. Bcineuibir, Mr. Macau says wo shall hare no society here—no ono tospeak to bnt each other.’My ludj- sr.id this with a quizzical glance at Lilian, but I am sure sho detected nsreadily as I did t'ue true ring in Lilian’sready answer: 4 1 don't want society, nunlie. I don’t want any now friend. Ihave gladly left every single one behind, except you and Stella—the two best aud dourest.’Liiinn said .this with a smile, not oxly Lady Carmichael, but for mo too—once ber favorite school friend, but now* her paidcompanion. * 4 Miss Lilian must be so heartily tired of those carpet knights who perpetually danceattendance upon ber, that one could fancy tbe absence of them here to be almost a blessing.’ ' So it is !’ cried Lilian, springing to herfeet, nnd putting both.her bands into those of the old gentleman who had come round to the open window just in time to boarLady Carmichael's last speech. 4 How did you come, Mr. Macan ?'4 By train, my dear. How else ? I’vean old acquaintance bore, aud I wanted to see him.' Mr. Macau had been Lady Carmichael'siutiuuate friend, as well *i legal adviser, for twenty years ; y»t it was evident the had never beard before of his having an acquaintance in thia primitive sea-boardparish, to which she bad been sent to re­ cruit her failing health.4 You said wo should have no societyhere at all,' she said, iu rather an injured tone. ' Nor will you. my lady; bnt a village,however isolated and uncivilized, has one necessary appendage—its clergyman ; and I chance to know the man who is billetediu Bryn Arddail. Msy I introduce him to you ?'' Yes, as lio is a friend of yours.’‘Not for that reasm,'returned the old lawyer, quietly; 4 but as tho year you have decided to spend in Bryn Arddail will benone the less pleasant for his acquaintance, and as I can answer that he will never in­ trude unweleomely, and may sometimes boan acceptable addition to your party when you are tired of each olber, I will intro­duce him.’ ' We shall never be tired of e«*b other,'said Lil.an, in her prompt, impulsive way.4 Mr. Macan, what a beautiful place Urisis I I'm perfectly certain it will give auntie back het health and strength.'' Tell mo who is this curate of Bryn Ard­dail,' said Lady Carmichael, presently. 4 He is not curate, but rector, of Bryn Arddail, receiving as his stipend about one*half of what they give your junior curate in fawu. Yon look surprised, Miss Lilian. I see no reason why Hugh Lindsay shouldnot work here for about one-quarter of the sum soy one of your lovers pays hie tailoryearly, and help the parish on ft, too.'4 lie can not.- Lilian taut. She etend leaning againat the window-frame besideme, looking to where th* village needed among tbe cliffs, and I thought she spokewith uuusnal earnestness. 'I am not fa be eoutradictod by you young thing*,' remonstrated tba old i<w-ysr, watching her. ‘ I am talking to LadyCarmichael, and you need not listen.’ But Lilian did listen. 1 do not thfak DELIVERED (DAILY PHOM V an c e 's B akery , Buns, Biscuits, Cakes «yet wandered from Ute village to tha graytower of lhe ch arch upon the cliff, than away to tb*«il*nt, beautiful aea. ‘ I don’t know about */mr«i*tioa forbi* taianta,' *«ld Mr. Maoaa, with greater eeriouaneea than waa u»u«l with him, ' bat 1 thick he is making ‘ rdher tea 'with them ; and perhaw bis Master will bo •Atisfied? ‘ What a great thing,’ mid Lilian, eoftly,‘ to hare gained aueh an laflaeiBoe u y.< j rprek rf ovar these rough flaharaeen andminer? f, ‘ A* brave a victory m w m «var sained,’ add Ute old lawyer, warufr- U « JAMES GORDON.A >M .a1l. witany **; im 'rtwovc»u.4 out of ber stateroom smiliag, and bowed io everybody io the bulM*'eabin^kadsatdew*by tnyride. * Will yon noLdo mo u bouaire to Mao*duco mo to ze Wns,' aba reid, amdlxalro-duced ber to all the lad* g gniufif Mmt were-t my tsM^-all kdirs, mind you. ft was the moeL pleissal diouer ierwIuMLMiss Uud ess ouriona about ereiytbitM. and n|iuri»lly abuiil plautattou life, 8b* aud Mtse —-—got to b* great fr wade, am*Ilia lady afterwards visited Mra.Gtiliuhmft, after W tnarri:igc*to tlto panist, *1 hwrhome in London. ‘After diutter th* table* wesa eiaum* away, and Mire Lind s*t down on the reta* at Hie end of tho cabin.

Theta wasone likely young boy among ’em, who had such a voice as you never he«jrd. I waayonnger then, by eonridsrabta, than I um now, but I could never htnr that boy sing one oi hia plantation aouga without th*tears coming into my eyes. Rat I thought I'd try him first. So one of the buys kept time ou bis banjo, and the folio* sang overbis song. It was a bout a yellu* girl who had been sold off into slavery from her Louisiana home to Georgia. I alwaysthought tha boy made it up irimeelf. I never beard tbe words or the muaio betas* or since. The words didn’t exactly rbymu,nor the music wasn't such as you hnr in the opera, but I knew it would do. 8*1got the boys together in the cabin, an* after they had played a whOe th* boy sns* bis song. Miss Liud listened from ffrst tolast, and there were tears in bar eyes, too, when it was through. 4 Wa are ready for dinner Lilian,’ raid .. ___Lady Carmichael, stifflyyon had better ay more ? Of course go and change your dross. Mr. Macanbeen accomplished by will be hero in half an hour.'._l t 3— -----«... _ jjy pet giniie() me M uh* passed into f the room, and I tried to return tbe smilo, » bnt my heart was too heavy.i The twilight of tbe September Eveningj was creeping slowly and softly from the i hills behind ns, gliding westward, trailingr its gray wings over that crimson line udod f lhe sea, and softly spreading them before i the glory ot tbe setting sun. For a few| minutes wa stood very silently together— i wo three, Hugh standing near me, with his i band ameng the red loaves of tho creeperon the wall, and his eyes upon tho glimpso : of golden radiance still lingering in thewest. 'Lilian has been trying your organ again, ' I presume,Mr. Lindsey.’ So the words b>>- gan at last, easy and commonplace, whichwere to end so cruelly. 4 She owes much to yon for this opportunity of practicing.H*e she told you why tbe organ ia her fav­ orite instrument just now?’ There was a little flush of color in bis fade, bnt so slight that it might have beenonly a faint reflection of the soft red leaves beside him. ‘ No; she htta not told me, Lady Car­michael.’ * Then I think I will,’ she said ; and eveninto her face the color mounted aa she spoke. 4 The gentleman whom she will marry soon after our return home (a youngnobleman possessing every quality likely to charm a girl of Lilian's temperamentand education) is himself a proficient onthe organ, and he has a very fine Instru­ ment in each of his houses. Lilian noverepeaks of ber admirer, I know,' continued my lady; in a tone of gracious confidence, * but I think she will not be angry witu mafor mentioning what must soon be general­ ly kuown. Of course wo all understand,dowe not, Mr. Lindsay, that one so prettyand attractive aa Lilian, being also heiress to s great fortune, would naturally marryinto the highest ranks ?* My heart beat angrily at this questionbeing put to him ; but he did not answer it, nor did he bring bis eyes back from theirdistant gaze.‘ My own life being, so uncertain,’ LadyCarm chael wont on,, I am (very naturally, yon will own) anxious to see my child mar- ried, and am well content to think her hus­band will be a man whose natural gifts and whose wealth are as great as her own. Ho has loveJ her for years, and had myfull consent from tho first.' A long pause then, and still bo did not speak. Did it strike her, as it struck mo,how little he was one to understand this great advantage of adding wealth to wealth —he who took no thought of these things,but felt that his hraveuly Father know what he had need oi ? * So, you tee, Mr. Lindsey,' my lady add­ed, lightly, though I, knowing her so well, could detect that, in spite of her coldness,she was ill at ease, * I have quite under- 'stood thia new whim ot hers for practicing tho organ in your church. I ought to tbnnkyou for making arrangements for her to doso. And, by-tbe-way, speaking of your­ self, really 1 think you ought to try for pro­motion. So many talents as you possessare literally wasted here.' I rose hurriedly: even on the chance ofinearring my lady's displeasure,I could not stay to see Hugh Lindsey's white still face. How could she daro to address those wordsto him, who, like tbe wise king of old, would not ask riches or wealth or honor forhimself*? To mo that seamod a mist unhappy evening, though Mr. Macan was g«y and genial as usual, and though Lilian exertedherself so brightly for every one's pleasureand enjoyment. F«>r months afterward I | was to bo hanntsd by the remembrance of Iher beautiful glad face as she moved among us then—restless, bat restless only in in­tense happincts; thoughtful for each of ua;and so bent npon making the evening a pleasant one to all, that I was not the only one who watched her with a wonderingadmiration. We were standing at the fire, about to separate (we were not used to the keenueasof tho Bryn Arddail air, so wo liked to have fires on these September nigbte), and Lilian was chatting gayly with Mr, Macanabout her old friends,when the subject was introduced which I had all the evening dreaded. Ah I so well I remember tirosmile with which she was speaking when my lady’s words stopped h*r and killed that smile in an instant. ' Do you not sec, Mr. Macan, that it ieLord Glynn of whom Lilian is really long­ ing to bear ? Then sho will tell you howindustriously she is practicing the organhere, simply that she may astonish and please him when she returns. Even iu onr exile hero he must be first in herthoughts.’ The old lawyer was gazing curiously in­ to my darling's face, and he answered,rather curtly, after bis pause: 4 I've talked enough for to-night. Going, Lindsey ? 1 will walk down the garden with yon. I’mheartily sorry not to find you looking bet­ ter. As I tried to tell yon once before to­night, you want a change.

The bravo and fearless waybe shows them by every act and word ofhis what love be bears his Saviour, and the proud yet humble way he puts before allother thoughts tbe love bis Saviour bears to us, fans—well—has done ita work. Tbe men arc led to see what is the truest man­liness as well as tbe purest religion ; and I believe they love tbeir young teacher with a little of such lovo as certain fishermen ofold bore their young Teacher. No wonder either, since that manly lovo be seeks towin from them is for his Master, never forhimself.' • Is your friend a gentleman by birth ?’inquired my lady. ' No.’ Mr. Macan was smiling quizzi­ cally, for he know most of Lady Csrtni-chael's weaknesses. ‘ I don't tbiuk Lind­say's forbears were ever beord of. But nover miud; lhe pew belonging to thishouse is a very snug one, my lady, and will encourage oblivion of Hugh’s ante­cedents.' ' You menn,' said Lilian, turning grave­ ly to look into the old lawyer's face, ' thatwe shall only think of what he tells ns.''D oi?' smiled Mr. Macan, well pleas­ ed, as I could see, at the way our pet readhis tone, • Well, you know best, my dear.

But now, quite suddenly, I doubted it all- I saw thatLilian's choice had bean loft free, eu v be­ cause there bad as yet teen no oppor.unity for her to make a choice to which ne ' auntcould object; and I saw that now all the stronger, for her previons surety w< uld be my lady's opposition.

He is tbe most •elf-satisfied, aelf-ap- i previativ* aad eelf-loving politician extant. Iu his opinion the administration of public affairs under himself and cullesgnes has been jujt perfect and it is little short of im­ pertinent to dare to doubt the fact. Witneu ths manner in which ho spoke of the un­ answerable arguments set forth in Senator Macpherson's ffriticiems of tbe financial affairs of tbe Province and ot th* Govern- mini's administration (hereof. In tbe do- bate on th* address from His Honour, Mr. Bethune, a supporter of Mr. Mowal’a drew attention to the ucsessity of meeting and disproving, if that be possible, the Sena­ tor’s figures, when the irate Premier jump­ ed to his feet and declared that: "There fa nolhicg in them. I do not see why you should pay attention to them.’* We have a distinct recollection of similar outcries made at the lima of the publication of a like financial statement made by tho same gentleman in regard to Dominion affairs. Further wo remember that iu speaking of this latter celebrated pamphlet the Hon. Alexander Mackenzie, then First Minister of tho Dominion, declared that: “There was a lie on every page of it." Thia was tho cue fox tho reception to be given to the Senator's statements by tbe Grit organs from the Globe dbwn, bat somehow it did not take. Tho sturdy Macpherson offered to submit every statement in bis pliamph- lei to a erasial test and pay all tbe expenses binwelf if th* Globe would bind itself to publish the result. But tho groat “Oracle" of tho party kept gallon silence and the electorate put their “faith" in the pamph­ let. Is it at all likely that after the Globe, Mackenzie, Cartwright and tbe great Blake at their back failing thus signally in an at­ tempt to “pooh I pooh I" tho Senator out of court that the “Little Premier” can dis­ pose of him by a mere wave of tho hand ? Not very much wo apprehend. It may look plucky, Mr. Mowat.bulit won't wash. Tho main charge is that ths surplus saved by Sandficld Macdonald has been squand­ ered, and that tho Government is guilty of dishonesty in attempting to blind the people to the true state of affairs by th* capitaliza­ tion of Provincial assets and calling it rerocne. Tho charge notwithstanding Mr. Mowat's title of “Christian Politician" must bo mot otherwise than thus : “He (Mowat) only wished to say that Senator Macpherson's pamphlet was not worth noticing." As Mr. Bethune plainly told tho Premier tho people will notice it aud act upon it too if found correct, of which there is not the least doubt. Indig­ nant comment was at the same time made on tha manner in which our very self-com­ placent Premier attempted, iu tbe Address, to appropriate tho labor of other men's brains—tho meanest of all thefts. Ho for­ sooth settled tbe “Boundary Question" and the Quebec—Ontario Arbitration Question. Ho forsooth ! just about as much as tho fly turns tho wheel. Either Mr. Mowat thinks the electors very ignorant, or he has be- coma quite reckless. Doubtless before the debate ends be will learn that Sandfield Macdonald aud E. B. Wood bad “some­ thing" to do then in. But even these cases are not the first wherein the Premier has * shown n penchant for plagiarism.

A case reported to the Society to ProtectChildren from Cruelty, on Thursday, re­ vealed, upon investigation, a remarkablestate of aflaire. It was ascertained that a little girl, Julia Stronse. aged 10 years, residing iu the rear of 1624 Cabot Street,had been sent ont by her mother, Masfeie Turner, (who had assomed her maiden name after her husband, Stronse, died,)barefoot, into the coldest, most inclement weather, recently, to bog. The proceeds were invested in liquor, for the nso of hermother, tho woman Turner, grandmother, Mrs. Dougherty, and grent-grandmoth< r, Mrs. Gilmore, a woman eigbty-nino yearsold, who bad all lived together in eqnalor and intompornnee, relying upon tho glean­ ings the child brought home. Often, whenfllio returned better clad and shod than when sbo started out, through tho kindness of the charitable, she was stripped of hergarments, which went into tho pawn-shop Io provide a few more drops for tho rum bottle. The agent of the Sociotv couldfind no evidence, however. Hint tho girl Julia had boon maltreated by tho several femnlo generations with whom she livedand for whom sbo catered, but he took her in charge and removed her from the Cabot street house.

Ind., Jan. 1G—On Tuesday night l«»t, J>onidae-Gr<»ve. who resided in the vicinity of Newton, Fonntnin Countymet bis death in a way that is probably withoot parallel in this or any other country. Mr. Grover was a widower,living on bis farm with a tnnrried dau-hter and her husband. On the evening referred to, the married coupbr had been absent ona visit to some neighbors, and upon rotur- ing at a Ute hour entered the house finding everything, to all appearances, in usualorder, aud supposing that Mr. Grover hadalready retired, went to bed themselves. Next morning the daughter arose, and hav­ing prepared breakfast, went to the adjoin- ing room to call her father, and was horri­ fied to find him lying upon his shattered bed n mutilated corpse. Her screamsbrought the husband quickly to the bed­ room, and an inspection disclosed a ragged opening in thereof, directly over the breastof the unfortunate man, which was torn through as if by a cannon-shot, and extend­ ing down through bedding and floor; otherhole* showed the direction taken by the deadly missile. Subsequent search re­ vealed the fact that the awful calamity wascaused by the fall of n meteorio stone, and the stone itself, pyramidal in shape and weighing 20 pounds and a few ouneesavoirdupois and stained with blood, was inearthed from a depth of nearly five feat, thfifl showing the fearful impetus withwhich it struck tho dwelling. The position of the corpse, will* other surrounings, wh*n found, showed that tho victim was asleepwhen stricken, aud that death to him was painless.

It is sin^dlar that tbero are many peopln» wbo, while they noillicr express nor feelsympathy for minor offsnders wbo get a severe sentence for house-breaking or lar­ ceny, or isolated crimes of tiiieft understrong temptation, seem to be terribly t shqcked, not to say personally aggrieved, wbeh. a heavy punishment is awarded torespectable rogues who aro convicted of the more skillful forms of thieft—such as em-, bezzlement, forgery, and fraud—commit­ted, too, on a scale which wrecks tbo hap­ piness of hundreds of families, aud inflicts1 sufferings which, in their long duration,are as much worse than physical pain as1 misgovernment is worse than war. Isn't t it terrible, one is asked, that people who were “in society,*’ and nobody knows what . else in the eminently respoctable way,slionld be sentenced to penal servitude ?S irily a less severe penalty would have eufliceJ. Not only this, but there is aa > indefinite sentiment in tbe mind* of manythat tbongb it may be well, perhaps, to > sentence respectable offender* to *nch a heavy punishment, yet a abort term of itsactual infliction will-meet tbe merit* of the case, and consort with tbe respectability of‘ the offender. Nay more, not a few peoplerealty believe that the sentence is not iu. , tended to be folly oanied ont. In a year or two, one will be informed that tbe stateof Mr. Respectable Embezzler's health is *ncb tliat the balance of hi* term has been remitted, or on some other convenient pre­text b* will be pardoned and liberated.

The carnival on the Ingersoll Rink on Mon­ day evening was a very graad and gratifying •ucccBi, and we trust wHl prove remuniretiv* to the management. The only draw-back to the affair was the poor light. From lone unexplained cause the gas burner* would not give any more light than a penny dip, and those in charge were obliged to procure a number of oil lamps and disperse them throughout the building in order to lend a little brilliancy to the acene. Our Gas Co. should wake up to the necessity nf providing full and ample light, or they will find a good many of their customers leaving them. Wo unduratand it is in contemplation by the rink managemeutjto put in other means of illumi­ nation if the gaa company canuot assure them a better supply than they have hitherto had.

The masker* kept up a continuous and lively circle around the immense rink, while the centre was occupied by other* who disported themselves in the giddy maxes *( the dance. The platforms on the *ide« were occupied by an immense concourse of spectaters, who were as ranch entertained as the abater* them­ selves. Altogether it was a splendid success, and there could not have been less than between seven and eight hundred in attendonce. Market and Park—F. Stewart, A. N. Christopher, L. Thompson, W.

In Fowler’s sys­tem two engines are used—engines which aror ■ cipnble of travelling the road, moving about’the fields, and .carrving their apparatus with• ^thnnt Under the boifrr a horizontal drum carries a steel wira rope, by which the plow" is drawn. The plow, which turns from four^L>£ight farr.iws, according to the power of ita'en'giue, is a gang of plows attached to aniron frame, and so balanced that an it pro­ceeds in cither direction the Rung which is tom ike the morse cut is cocked np in:the air. The plowman sits over the centre of thegang. and.has in front of Lima steering wind­lass. hv which tbq dircqtipn of the plough is , kggulste l.. The. grubber*, cultivators, hjrrows, subsa lers etc., are all arranged in. a-•■* similar way. When nt work, ono enginestands at each t de of the field, each, with its- rope’attiiclihd to the plow; anu Ibis is drawn bnakward and fojward.bftwodn them, t’ic cn-gi v*x njoi'iij'; forward along tlioibe.ad’arvl for each a new bite. In order to protect therope from friction, it is supported here- andthere by littln tracks called “rope porters.”A pair of the larger engines and a .six-furrow VCfBow will tnytt- tip’- fr >m li'h-eiv to twenty'' ’acres per day, almost irrespective of depth,within any’ usual'agricultural limit. The rystem bus been in practial um foe twentyyean p.-wt, and has lu-cn undergoing constantimprovement, until it seems now to be very nearly perfect. It i.i of course, only on.. farms of the largest size,where many hundredsof acre* are plowed annually, t|iat these. large/double-enginn seta of sfpparatus aremod, but there arc companies and associations‘ of farmers in ail part? of England which own one or more sets to be let out for hire, i>othat even a small farmer may have his plough­ing done by steam ata cost much less than that of doing it by hone labor, when it is con-^indcrcd that he is relieved from the cost of'rr.aintaning his homes throughout the year. » The mere matter of economy,’ however, is a' secondary consideration as compared with the1 quality of the work done. The greater speed of the steam-plough.gives a much more tlior-, ough pulverization and acreation to the soil,the treading of horses’ feet is entirely done away with, and the condition of the landgenerally is greatly improved, especially, as“ the subsequent opciations inayK where fields ar^wtffidftitly larq*. all be d<£ic by steam —LaVreftHfig; Hilling," nvJ ‘drelt-dnltiiig.

It does not pay to raise sumll cropsof any kind : medium crops may' just pay expenses, while that part of a large crop which>is in excess of the meittam crop is nearly- allprofit. Hence wo know where to look for our profit, and study to devise ths best means ofenriching our lands at tho least expense.There are several ways suggested. Oee manfeeds stock ; another, plows cfover uudor ; another buys commarical fertilizers. ThoWestern man uses up fertility of the soil, andthen goes further west to repeat the process. I have seen something of this system, havingknown lands in Central Illinois which a fewyhars ago produced 100 bushels of ears ofcorn, and which now produce but 18 hpahels in a favourable season. They tell us thatthis soil will never wear out ; I know of nonethat wears out quicker.The ume is the Caso in our Eastern States.Tho writer was on some-Now England farmsmonths ago. that hod once been tho home efthrifty hut improvident people. Tho life of tho land was gono ; families were separated,'and there was a dull prospect for a. y«n>gm.-.n to bogju life on such an- impoverishedfarm, so these bright boys from the New Eng­ land hill-sides seek other and more lucrativeavocations. They aro full of energy andvitality, inured to tlic rigor of the climate,and the rough, han! land. Agriculture can­ not afford, to sacrifice such men. If farmerswish to keep their sons at homo, they must,keep np the fertility of the soil. b tock feeding is one of the most importantbranches of farming, and requires much judg­ment, care and attention. A prominent mansaid to be successful with flowers you must love flowers,nnd so to be successful with stock.The venerable John Johnston onoe told thew •iter that he owcd.his fortune , and hi* re­putation a i a tamer to one pile of manure. While poor and in'debt he bought an adjoin­ing 50 acres on .which there was an old barn­ yard containing an accumulation of 23 years'manure. He round it to be amite of wealth.He applied it to his crops which iu turn gavegnat returns, and this not only gave him notoriety ns a good cultivator, but give himmedit With' monied men, who freely tenderedhim all tho funds he desired to 1 ny stock with. After securing on immense crop of corn, befed it to the stock and made another greatquantity nf valuable manure, and so on, yearafter year. Mr. J. has fed thousands ofsheep and vast numbers of cattle. It hasbeen stated that in 18 years of shoep foodiug,buying in the fall aud selling in the winter or spring, he never but onc« tailed in gettingnay for his feed, and a handsome profit on theinvestment This shows that his judgment must have been superior, and that the stockhad hia personal and undivided attention.A wealthy stock tanner iu Pennsylvania once told the writer that ono drove of cattlewill half feed the next: meaning that by ap­plying the manure from let a of cattle to theground intended for com, the crop would be much larger, and that this increased yieldWould cost almost nothing, while the extraburden of stalks would certainly make the increase a donation year after year. Aitortho farm lias become rich, it costs almostnothing to feed stock, ns they will live on tho surplus. 1 believe it coils 30 eoflta perbushel to raise corn, when you only r-tiso 50 bushels of cars to the acre, but when 150bushels ore raised, the cost is reduced to lessthan JO cents per bushel W.
