Wa nsvor now honrd Lilian’* glad voice sincing about the bouse, and I grew almost. to forget the very sound of herswdet laughter ; yet she tried Ipird to bide,this change. Indued, I tbiuk th a struggle that she made to Lido it was the most pitiful of all to seo.I wished in my heart that the year which we were to spend in Bryn Arddail was over, or that Lady Carmichael would shorten it out of phy to Lilian. Happily as it had begun, it was full of misery no w for throe of us. Aa for my lady, though thesir had given her strength and vigor, it seemed to have changed Jier most of all. Shu had moods now which we’could'notunderstand. Sometimes—noticing Lilian's drooping qnietuess-i-slio would try impa tiently and fretfully to rouse her, while atother times she wmil.l seem to bo unaware even of her prcscnco. Sumetimcs whenLilian, making a great effort, would chatbrightly to us, my lady would grow moody and absent, while nt other times she would rebuko’her pettishly. If L spoke to her ofLilian, she would sometimes listen almost eagerly, while nt others she would stop mo with real anger, saying the girl was obstinate aud self-wilk-d, and she did not care lo hear her name so often. Lilian herself wa.far, far more patient than I was with heraunt's variable mrf»ds, and if I spoke of them, she only sighed, nnd said it was her fnnlt. To Mr. Lindsey, whom we saw butseldom now, my lady was formnlly and very coldly polite. Now that she knew ho was to leave Bryn Arddai! as soon as heconld, she was satisfied. I often wondered whi-thor Mr. Mncan grieved over the change in his ohl friendand client. Never before had she been ec centric, or either cold aud changeable, nnd now she was nil this. Another change Inoticed toe. Though she had regained her litnlth, she would snenk often uow of what I bad never lienrd Ixr discuss before—the responsibility ot her wealth aud the probability of her death. • Hush, ntrntie !' Lilian used to whisper,with her l->ng sweet kiss, ‘Think how it pnius ns. Would you like tnc so often to talk cf dying?’* Childish nonsense I* interrupted my thing of (he wealth which sire Lad taught> her to look npou ns already her* JThough I suppose I heard the name* of Ure cliAiiljer to which Lady Carmichael be-.queatbed her properly, my thought* wan dering far snoiigh away from them, and it wa* only when Lilian'* name was read atlast that I agaiu, by an effort, fixed tny. attention. If Lady Carmichael's nliole fortune were (as decreed in tire beginningof tire will) to bo divided among certain charities, for Wlint should Lilian's name bementioned at all ? I listened eagerly then, and though there was very little to hear, Uris clause surprised mo most of all. Theproperty had beou thu* willed—so the wordk went, us fur as I could understand —by the testatrix/or conoifnce' take. Herniece Lilian Lee would understand this, aud would, no doubt, marry durinct heraunt’s lifetime. But if not, sire would findlittle difficulty in gaining her own liveli hood.This wns all I conld understand of tirestrange will which Mr. Macau read to us, and then pladed on tbo table before Lady Carmichaol. Sho took a p«u in birliaud,then looked across at Lilian aud Hugh Lindsey. His face was very polo and full ot anxiety, yet there shone iu bis eye* arestless brilliance which had chased aw?y the patient hopelessness of an hour before^ • Now, Lindsey, you aud Miss Leo arc towitness tbo signature.' • Yuti wi»b me to sign, Lady Carmi chael ?' • Yus ; and yon, Lilian. Your signatures will do as will as any otberu, for you have, neither of you, any interest in the will. Do you, either of you, object to doingthis ?’ The question was sharp and suspicious, nnd seemed oven more addressed to Lilianthan to Mr. Lindsey, ’Object I oh no,' she said, though 1 Lad seen how marvellously the will had astonished her. ’You think itright, auntie. You say it is for contcionce' take, and you know best. I am quite ready to sign, Mr. Macnn.' - And so they wrote thoir,names uponthis will, while I mused of the old story, doubting it entirely now, bcciiriise surely if it wire true, its memory could never haveallowed this act. can left the room with it in bis baud, andLady Carmichael rose at once to follow him. Then, quite suddenly, Hugh stepped before her and entreated her to listen tohim for a moment. lu a few words, so heurt-fult that they Rounded almost sol rm n, ho told her of his love for Liliau—alovu ho never could lose, though ho had tried hard to hide it. lie told her that ho would never have spoken of it, either toher or io Lilian herself, but fur having henrd that will which sue herself had die- after such an interruption I u,-fd to notice cr uhl do so unobserved, as slio tho-.iehi) on I.'iiu.i’s patii i.t fuel-; nud soin.Hinn-8 agreat sternness would L-uthir on.her brow, and toinetitnes a yoorninu niiv.

Sho canwait with n* ; when yon aro away, wo caobe sure of her sitting silent.' So I sat by tbo fire thinking, wliilo Mr.Maoan wrote on; and Lady Carmichael now and then talked to him in a low tone, and uow and tlron wrofo a litl)o herself, or read what he had written.• I have finished,' be said at last; and taking a cigar, went out to smoke.Tire Lady Carmichael once more took nptire folded will, and opened sad. glanced through it. •Did you quite understand this willwhen it was rend, Stella ?'• Quite.’ ‘ Did Mr. Lindsey ?’ ‘ Yes, I am sure ho did.’• And Lilian ?' ‘ Oh yes.' *’ That is right.

From tbuL moment bow could any one cf us duiibr*'how wholly and entirely her heart was his? , ‘ I did right, I sec/remarked Mr.Maoun, genially ; • I generally do. Lady Carmichael, have you no word of admiratum. for my wise conduct of affairs ?’ My lady was unfolding then the little <gift that Lilian aud I had prepared for her with so much love, and whan sire looked up from it her eyes wore wet behind theirglasses. • Lilian,’ she said, after answering her old friend's question only with an absentsmile, ‘ my presents lo yon ar* very simple ones, as you see; but you understand wtiy,because yon remember how my uiunoy is ' devoted in my will.’ ‘ Wo remember, auntie,’ Lilian answered. taking into hors ouo of iny dour oldlady's trewblinjlhiands; • Do you remember, Hugh ?’ asked Lady Carmichael,turning rather wistfully to him.‘Could I forgot that happy ui^ht *?' said Hugh, inXi gently. •Though you’say you remember,' shewent ou, leaning with ono band upon th* breakfast table while Lilian In! 1 lire other, ' I want you to hear that will again.

Perhaps tho was droutniuguf what Hugh might do with only a littleof these riches. ’Yuli quite understand it?' questionedmy tody, h iding her hand for the willwhen Hugh had finished. And we all answered, without hesitation,that wo quite understood. ‘ Yon bear me no ill-will for this?’ Ami Lilian was tho first to auswer withtho warm douial. • Then,' said my lady, smiling just as sire used to smilo years ngo, when we twoorphan gills hail learned l» love her so dearly, * you will understand the end.*She had not loosed Lilian's baud, butcrossing the rug, sho dropped tho folded will iuto tho heart of tho blazing Chrhtmasfire, and stood quietly thuro watching it burn to colics. ‘ Hugh,’ sire said then, still with her eyesupon the fire, ' before I kaow you, save as the poorly paid clergyman of this poorparish. I saw that yon loved my child, and Ilift thought angored me beyouil al! words. I I fancied that I could put a stop to this lore, end I tried.

The past year hae been a peculiar one in tho history of cheese making and cheese marketing on the continent of America, and wo have no doubt nfhny of the discus sions will take a bent widely different from previous meetings, which will no donbt have a tendency to make them eran more interesting and instructive than they have been on previous occasions.

BY L. R. RICHARDSON, ESQ. A correspondent iu Aldboronglr send an account of a lecture by L. It. Richardson, « Esq-, of Kerwood, Vlca-President of tha •Dairymen’s Association of ' Western } Ontario, at tbe annual meeliug of th* pat- 1 rona of tha Maplo Leaf Obeasa* Factory, ' •wned by McNish aud McLean, on th* j 20th iust.:—Mr. Richardson began bv giv- t iiiff tho history of the chacso business 1 almost from ita infancy iu Canada till tha present, following it in detail through its 1 ups and downs, and showing tho amount of prejudice to be overcoma in some local ities before it could get a foothold ; and ho ' sliofved clearly that in tho large majority of cases where failure was the result, it was not the fault of the business per tt, butowing to ignorance or mismanagement on tho part of those concerned, or else jeal ousy and disagreement among tbe managers. And for thia reason ho reeom- monded, wherever practicable, tbo factorybuing owned by the maunfacturer. The speaker dwelt at length on this point us the surest way to success in a new locality,like tho ono in.which ho was speaking. Another point the speaker laid great *tresfi upon wus that a poor maker was dear atany price, while a good man, who thor oughly understood his business,.was cheap at any price, for cheese well mado washalf sold, and created its own demand at highest prices. The speaker then wentinto figures to show that dairy farming was belter nnd more pro^tablo than groin farming. Ho showed that the farmers whokept on growing grnin from year to yearwere, as a rule, growing poorer, and their forms were growing grey. Ho illustratedthis point by the farmers of Great Britain and Ireland understanding this fact so woll that they laid a largo proportion of theirfarms to meadow and pasturage. Ho then showed that, notwithstanding tbo low ptico of choose tho last year, as muchmoney had been realized by the countryns iu previous years, in consequence of tho increased make. He also showed that it paid ns well, if not better, even nt thelow prices, than any other farm product in tbe country. He camo now to details necessary for successfully carrying ou tho dairy farm, nnd part of his lecture was vety instructive, and highly appreciatedby tho intelligent audience present. In1 the first place tho farmer msst ba a tbo- ' rough going mau, in earnest in nil ho does,with complete control over himself aod all tho concerns of his farm ; everything must i be done systematically and in time. In1 the second placo he inusrtBave a stock of good cows, as ono good ono is worth two . poor ones f< r the purpose of tho dairy, andns cows are tuilk-innking machines, theI better the machine, and thqbettei' attended, i tho better tho production.* His directionsfor purchasing cows were ns follow* i Never buy a noorly wintered cow, nt any : price, as it takes all rummer to get herback into condition for a good milker, - ngnin, buy cows sired by good milking * stock, an milking qualities depend ns much1 on tho sire as tho Jam. This he said bad? been proven bj* those giving tho matter1 attention. Buy caws with their horns in-’ dined to drop a little, and if possible with * six teats, ns they arc, ns a rule, good milk- * ers. After snch cows ere obtained theynrc to bo treated gently, never dogged, alwavs milked nt tho same hour, if passible,nnd ty tho same milksr, and nt tbo same (place, and never abused in the milking,, and bo said no farmer sending milk to tho , factory should bo allowed to milk in a ! wooden pail, or anything but tin. Neither |t should a cow’s milk bo sent to tho factory under any consideration until the ninthmilking after coming iu. Tho lecturer then gave directions for tho management of tho milk preparatory for the factory. It should bo aired until cold by lifting it ina dipper and letting it fall through the rtmr>sph*ro until it is cold, nnd the even ing’s and morning's milk should not bomixed if possible. Tho lids of tbo cans should never bo shut down until tho drawer conies along, and no milk with tho least taint about it should bo allowed inside n factory. Tho speaker then gave some directions nbout feeding, nnd recommendedstraw nnd grain rather than hny fur winter foed as tbo former wan more of a heat pro-ducing material than the latter. He stated that exporimer Is had been mado |jith soiling nnd turning cows to pasture, andthat tho advantage was in favor of the former to the amount of 160 lbs. of cheese per cow for the season. He insisted verystrongly on the point that cows should gel nothing but pure water to drink, as cheese mado from the milk of cow* drinking stagnant water would smell very offensive in two or three weeks nftcr they were made. He illustrated this by a child which sicken ed on a cow’s milk, and when the matter was investigated it was found she drank stagnant water in tho barn yard. Shewas prevented from doing this, and allowednothing but clean water to drink, and the child soon recovered. The above are some of the points in tho lecture most importantto fanners. The lecture was listened to throughout with marked attention, and a unanimous vote of thanks was tendered to him st ita close for the useful informationit contained. In responding, ho said be never was nt a more successful chnese meeting, and ns long as McNish & McLeancontinued to tnnke tbe same quality of cheese they made fast year, the patrons need have no fear of sales at tho highestorice*. The meeting adjourned with thedetermination to go more extensively iulc it in the co Ding season than tho past. Tbe HisslDff Cashier in Florida, ( 1 Buffalo, Jan. 27.—A* previously telegraph- i, ed, Mr. Joteph B. Weller, of Belleville, was 1. arreated here on Saturday evening qn a chargeof conspiring with W. if. Scott, cashier of 11 the Owen Sound branch of the Merchants’ tBank, to defraud the bank out of the anm of |831.000. Bail was set at 120,000, in default (’ of which the prisoner wa* committed to gaoL ,* It is alleged In the indictment that Weller .- drew two drafts dated Deo. 12tl>, 1878, one ,j for 817.000 nnd the other for >14,000 in gold<>n a tictitionl firm in Chicago, named Avery,1 Murphy & Co., nnd presented the aamo tog Scott as cashier and manager for discount 1 t~ -On the 28th of December Scott on behalf ofthe bank, pretended to dircornt the drafts, i and iH*id tn Weller 817,800 in cash, a sight :draft on a branch of tho plaintiff’s bank atToronto for 85,000, and a sight draft on abranch of tho plaintiff’s bank at Hamilton far 88,000, both payable to Weller's order. It ia.further flleged that the prisoner presentedthese drafts for payment and received the money upon them, tho branch banks notknowing them to be spurious. The prisonerthen camo to Buffalo, where ho wm joined byScott, his confederate, and both proceeded to • Rochester, where they remained for a time,after which Weller came back to this city. Itia said that .Scott is now in Florida Thecliargo of fraud ia mode on the ground that Scott and Weller both new that Weller ba.1no dealings with any aueb firm as Avery,Murphy & Co., and that drafts npon aucli firm, if any existed, were worthless, thedrawing of such drafts being a device to stimulate a genuine business transaction by which to defraud the bank. Mr. Gibbon*, counselfor the bank, states that he visited Marquette,Michigan, and there saw the prisoner, whoadmitted the facts as already set forth, and paid bsck*the anm of $8,000 to the plaintiff.In order to get the defendant's story in thematter, a Buffalo Courier reporter visited thogaol last night and learned through Mr. Willard Way Hodge, who had been called in ascounsel for Weller, tho following story':—He said he was engaged in thu lumber business inCanada and Michigan, anti had obtained fromthe Merchants’ Bank of Canada the anm of $31,000 as charged. He also claimed that hehad paid to W. H. Scott, tbo cashier, thesum of 8-20,000, which ho had runaway with ; and that he afterward made an arrangementwith Mr. G; C. Gibbons, the barrister for thebank, entering into a written agreement by which he was to pay the bank the sum of$11,000, on or before tho 27th of Januarywhich was to liquidate liis entire indebtedness to tho bank. Tn pursnance of that agreement, he hod paid them the sum of $8,000,andhe was now making arrangements toliquidate thobalance of the claim. He denies all intention of defrauding tho bank and intimates that he’ is being persecuted. Mr.Weiler has been kept under surveillance in this city for some dav= •“!'.:!= the “waiting for the order of arrest. .. ......thought that Weller had a largo amount ofmoney upon his person, bnt a careful examin ation discovered only about thirty-five dollars.In the event uf the prisoner's licing able to raise the money it is qnito likely the matterwill bo settled m tiro action is a civil one.

Instead of laying the money out as inteud»’d,4he false lover tried to slcedndle. Miss Heath, however, although trusting,was not altogether green, nnd swore out a warrant nnd a capaian against Mr. Wiug and placed them in the hands of thedeputy constable and bailiff of Sherbrooke for T.ioso <5fG«rs were joined by the Magog bniliff, nnd tho threestarted in pursuit of the betrayer, who, getting scent that they were after him tried to evade their clutches by dodgingfrom place to place. Tho chase which followed is thna described by the Sher brooke Gazette “ After two day’s drivingaround in nil directions, the pursuer nnd pursued met, about 11 miles from Bolton Outre. The constable sprang foT thehorsea bead, l>ut Wing plied the whip hard, and the horse bounding forward knocked him down ; horse and sleigh passed overhim, but strange to say, without doing any damage. Immediately getting their shat tered forces in order again, the officersstarted in pursuit, and an interesting race ensued for about five miles, when a sled with five people was encountered. Wingattempted to pass between it and the snow drift which lined the side of the whole crowd, also stopping for the momentbis own rapid career. Leaping from his sleigh, Flie constable contrived to get on the other, and caught Wing round theneck, but he dexterously ebook off the boldand and onco more the'paco was fast and fnrioQ*. The track was not wide enoughfor the officers to get in front and stop the way. The boundary was only two or three miles farther. Could it be reached,or would tho panniers head Wing off in Mansonvillo ? To all calls on him to sur render he replied with defiant shoute. But suddenly ho appears a little less confident.A lino of loadfij sleds was immediately in front,-and escape was hopeless. Nothing remained but to surrender, and thia be didwith very bad grace. Not without con siderable argument could bo be induced to leave hi« own sleigh aud take a seat withIris captors, and he bad to be palled out by main force before he was satisfied. Having secured him he wimi searched, and a loaded revolver found on him. He was-then taken ovir to Georgeville, and thence to Sherbrooke."

Il proved to be themissing document. cipally for loss of a portion only of theprofit that Stephens said ho would have made bad the contracts been carried nut. (In this state of things I decided in March, i 1872. to send my br.dher-iu law, Mr. Geo. jMartin, to Naw York. , It was his indefatigable exertions, aided 'by his Attorneys, Messrs. Gray and Dev- ' onpoht . that Judges Davis nnd Danieib. in i November, 1878, set aside the unjust find- ' ing and awnrd of Mr. Freeman Fithian, innd ordered a now trial to review tbe ' whole case. Finally, on the 4th of January. P75. th*case, which occupied the Court four days, was hoard before Judge Van Brunt . A portion of the Judge's findings are asfollows:— “In October, 18GG, the plaintiff com menced this action to have tho contracts declared null nnd void.Tho Dfaintiff had no knowfa.l"* of tbe contracts until about November. 1865, nnd on tbo 33th of November, 1865, throughhis then manager David Prinole, tiro plaintiff notifio 1 Stephens that ho would not recognize tbo said contracts.“ Stephens undoubtedly knew that Hol l oway's advertising outside tho United States nnd tbo British provinces was done through tbo London House.“ It was tho police of tho plaintiff to pre vent, ns far as possible, any trade spring ing np between tiro ngeucy nt New Yorkand nny portion oi America outside the United States nnd tiro Briiish provinces, nnd to confine such business to the LondonIlnnse. In the determination of tho questions in volved in this action, it acorns to nro that no weight should bo attached to the evi dence of Haydock, beoansn tiro facts do- veloped npon this trial clearly indicate that HE IS EITHER A KN AVE OR AN iniOT. AND WHATEVER BE THE FACT, HIS EVIDENCE IS ECUALLT UNRELIABLE. “ Plaintiff Hollaw aV must have judgementdeclaring the contracts of 25th of July and21st of August, 1865, to have been mrvte byHaydock without authority, and aru therefore void. Signed. C. II. VAN BRUNT." Haydock nt this trial admitted ho had noauthority whatsoever to mafce tho said contracts of July 25, and August ‘21, 18G5.
