A dreamwith much daik shadowing about, and inthe mist of which strange, impalpable figures were flittering, full of menace andforeboding, with white arras beckoning to him, and then warning him back *a from a danger or a snare lying beyond in tbedarkness which be could not pierce.

Had Sir John Bagnell been lying dead in tho house, thoro could not have boon adeeper gloom cast on this smtll commun ity. Lady Bagnell was indisposed, it hnd boon officially proclaimed, and though sheato and drank well, it was as if she did it under protest, and with tho inward consciousness that sho was merely prolong ing tho misery of her existence from sheer consideration for tho feelings of tbo f trailv.Her head ached, and the loss noise in the room nndur those circutnsUnoos, the better. Tho servants stole about on tiptoe, snd one who clattered tho plates too roughly was requested on tha spot to withdraw into tbo servants’ hall until heknow how to behave himself properly.

Has anybody contemplated the awful possibility of MowaU'a declining the nomination for North Oxford. GfliT papera are still unable to see any reason why an advance of 2 cents a pound in the price of raw cotton should cause an advance of J cent in tho price of a yard of cotton cloth, weighing about 4 ounces. It ia tbe opinion of a good mkny that raw cotton will advance, before the end of this year, from 11 cents to 15 and possibly 20 eenta, What a g’orious opportunity our contemporaries will then have to hammer away at the N.P. The Reform organs are preparing to let themselves down easily. They scent a rise in mechanics’ wages as one of the results of the National Policy, and they are warning the workingmen that it is only an election dodge which wont last long. If the Reform organs bad not so frequently abused public confidence by predicting one day what was. contradict ed by tbe events of the next,their success in discrediting the National Policy might be much greater. Tnif Ontario election, it is now an nounced, will commence on the 29th of Slay, on which day the nominations will be made, and that the polling will take place on the 5 th of June. There is pro bably no other reason for this change of programme than that Mr. Mowat prom ised that the elections should take place in June, and of course he knew that everyone understood that to mean tbut Loth nominating and polling should take place in that month and arrangements made accordingly. Speaking of the tariff debate the Mon treal Spectator says :—u Mr. Tilley con ducted tbe debate with great skill aud 1 good humor, and showed himself a capably leader and financier. Tbe Oppo sition stuck all through the debate to its old aud blundering way of advancing high nnd dry theories stale from Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill. Mr. Cartwright made an able speech, but ho sj>oke as a mere doctrinaire. He was, hs ever of old, the poor, helpless and be wildered fly upon the wheel."

If you had a bow licfore you went intothe quire, give him tbe mitten—you ought tohave sumbody better now. Don’t forgrt to giggle. The henest and intelligent yeomanry of the Township of West Oxford must feel highly flattered when they recollect the very high encomium passed upon them in the House by tho Hon. Adam Crooks last winter, when he explained to tho Members bis reason for recom mending Mr. Cook to run for the office of Reeve while holding that of Liquor License Inspector, was because there was no other person in tho Township qualified to occupy tho honorable posi tion of Reeve other than Mr. Cook, aud it would be a pity to deprive the Town ship of the service of such a valuable municqial officer. The Hamilton Spectator reports that L. D. Sawyer £• Co., of that city are perfectly satisfied with the tariff as it stands. Mr. Ia D. Sawyer states dis tinctly that there has been no reduction of wages in his establishment, or any intention or thought of such reduction since the introduction of the new tariff or on account of such tariff. This is probably the Suu referred to by our local cotemporary as having reduced wages. These stories are concerted and published in the hope that the contradic tion will not follow them to every reader, aud some voters, it is supposed, may be influenced by the belief that wages have been reduced.

Will Mr. Crooks tell us he voted against a reduction of 10 per cent., which would have left the Clerk the very hand some sum of 81,0'20 a year? In 1871 the Clerk of tho Executive Council and the Deputy Attorney-General each received 11,600 a year aod now they draw 82,800 a year each. Will Mr. Crooks tell us be voted against a resolution making I be salary to each 82,500 ? The Inrpector of Public Institutions, in the good old days of economy, received $2,(100 a year, but be now gets $3,000, and lost session Mr. Crooks voted against a resolution reducing it I* $2,500. Will Mr. Crooks remind us of this generous use of his position to squander our money 7 In 1871 tho Assis tant Commissioner of Crown Lands was paid $2,600 a year, he now draws $2,800, aud will Mr. Crooks tell ns ho opposed a resolution to reduce the salary to $2,500. In 1868 tho sum paid for sessional writers was 85,451, but Sandfield Macdonald got it down in 1871 to $1,212. Tho next year under a Reform Government it shot up to $5,197, and has been gradually on the in crease until last year it reached $8,013. Tbe Opposition last session, moved that atten- tion be called “ to the t ery rapid increase of expenditure for Bcsrional writers, mes sengers a»t) pages, with a view to steps being taken to bring about a decrease.” Will Mr. Crooks toll us ha was ono of tbe patriots (?) who voted against this modest request? In tho Crown Lands Depart ment since 1875 the revenue has largely decreased while tbe expenditure has in creased, and it will bo in order, in bis forthcoming exhibit, for Mr. Croaks to tell us ho voted against a resolution to reduce the salary of the Commissioner by 8500, the Assistant from $2,800 to $2,500, and a reduction of 10 per cent, on all other salaries above 8800, but not so as to re duce any below that amount. These are some of the acknowledgments wo have to make to Mr. Crooks—OUR representative in too bocal Logislalme. Aud is it possi ble that we Lave an intelligent Reform (?) majority in the South Riding of Oxford who are willing to be represented by a gen- llemah who occupies an honorable position —which is their gift—solely for the purpose of retaining office. Mr. Crooks is not a popular man in tho Ministry ; ho is not popular in bis Department; he is very un popular in tbe House, and to think that ho should be thrust upon this Riding in Oppo sition and in the lace of more than four- fifths of the leading men of tho dominant party of the constituency is almost tco much to bear. froth wed the toeaeiesa of its innjr.

Ontario was privileged to hnvo for over thirty years nBverson at tbe helm of tbe educational ship. During that time be pursued such an enlightened course that the country ianow doited over with good school bonnes. It is pcarcely likely that a clause will be introduced providing that they be demolished. There is hone for the country yet, therefore, and the 29th clause cannot bo retroactive. Hud it passed in 1850. lopshanties would siill have graced a thousand corner lota instead of the fine brick build ings that have long siuco supplanted them.“ Dr. Bverson lias more noble mr>nu- monte erected to perpetuate his memory and bis good work even while he lives thanany other of t) itnrio’s sons. He rony res! assured that he will long live in tho loving hearts of a grateful people. Others tnnycheck f-r a time the progress of the work ; they can never undo it.” These remarks, coming frotp a non political and non-partisan journal, ought to make Mr. Crooks feel that he has not gained for himself a monument more en during than brass by this new attempt at tinkering. He may have recommended hrmsjlf to the Toronto Board of Aldermen, and perhaps to a few in that of London, but he will yet find tbe sentiments enunci ated by the Canada School Journal the very ones that prevail generally throughout the country. However, the Free Preu has no great cause to complain, for tho modi fication of this clause, which this journal was the first to recommend, has beou in troduced in spirit if not in the exact manner wo suggested. If money be required in future for tho purchase of sites and tho erection of schoolhouses, and tbe Board of Aldermen vote the demand of tho Trustees through tbe required majority, tho matter then falls into the hands of thoso for whom aud for whoso interest tho improvements aro projected, and out of whoso pockets must come tho money to foot tho Lili.

It is ralhcr doubtful whether Mr. Crooks has added to his own popularity aud that of bis colleagues by his last attempt nt patching the School Art. Il might be well to have the Provincial Constitution amend* ed so ns to make it obligatoiy upon the Government of tbe day to introduce a now School Bill every session, if it should serve no other purpose than just to repeal what bad been enacted in tbe preceding. A few months ago, a handsomely bound aud well got up volume of some three hundred pages was issued under tbe supervision of tbe Government, containing the School Acta with the latest amendments aud the general regulations for High, Public and Separate Schools, and people connected with education in Ontario drew a long breath, thinking, no doubt, that these in cessant changes had Como to an end for a time, and that a person other than an expert might venture to quote a clause or refer to some provision in tho School laws of tbe Province, without exposing himself to ridicule in giving as law what bad died by the hand, perhaps, of its own parent months before. How very silly these hopes seem now when Mr. Crooks has succeeded in muddling tbe whole thing once more, when a new consolidation has been render ed neceuary, when all the expense incur red in preparing tbe new edition of the laws of 1878 has been thrown away, and another invasion of Saudfield's surplus baa become unavoidable. Of one thing wo mutt give tbe Minister of Education the benefit. He boa beard a good deal in bis perambulations respecting the expense of Uta system, and of the weight with which the support of an effi cient system of national education presssa upon tire people. But if the people thiuk such a system essential to national pro- greas, to successful competition with other countries enjoying similar advantages, and to tbe mental and maral elevation of th* masses, then a heavy annual expanditur* become* unavoidable. It must be admit ted that 88,887,000 » a very large saat for the people of Ontario to pay for education in a aioglc year, and yet thee* four millions* of dollars, nearly, wet* raised for thia par- poa* in th* year 1877, if Mr. Crooks'own report ba a reliable public document.

The report that a strike of eoa) miners was anticipated during the next few days in tho Lehigh coal region by reason of their present low wages, ia notcredited by many of the large coal operators in this city. One of the officers of tho Lehigh Valley Coal Co. says they can not say whether there was any truth in tbe report or not, as they had received no definite information. lie tbcugbt, however, that only a kcal strike would take place, and that a general strike would not result from it, as the men would prefer to work at small wages rather then go out of employment. Another large coal operator said it would be ridiculous for tho men to close up th* mines. Speaking ab«ut tho uew coal combination, this gentleman said it was only a question of time that some settlement would have to bo arranged by tho operators. Every com pany had been for a long time suffering from low price«,aand tbe loss would ba yery heavy. Th*re was an alleged rumor that Mr. and Mrs. Tilton had become reconciled lo each other. Tangible proof of the alleged fact was said to to a baby born to lb* lady mentioned in an anonymon* town in Connecticut.

Instead of regarding obesity as an abnormal condition, many people havu erroneously oon-.sidered it as an evidence of health, and anyagent that reduce* fat is therefore at onoo suspect d of being injurious. Starting toreason from the false position that fat i* anevidence of health, it ia not surprising that they should, very naturally, fall into the errorof supposing that an agent jxisscssing properties capable of reducing corpulency wouldprove injurious to the health. Reasoning, however, from the rational basis, that an undue deposition of fat, constituting obesity, isnot a healty but a morbid condition, it is quite as natural for us to arrive at tho opposite conclusion which is sustained by experience aud observation, I.e., that a reduction nf fat in cases of corpulency is invanably followed by an improvement of strength, spirits,aud physical comforts.

Who aay that tho days of romance are ended needs to read the strange history ala Seottish ploughman wh» has returned to his native baath after a king exile. Twenty Years ago a farmer in Oikney hired a youngiuan to do farm-work. The ploughman t.ucbad the fancy of bis master's daughter,and the result waa that in a runaway faih- wu, and in opposition to tha will of the patriarchal former, tha two became manand wife. The old gentleman waa furious and turned his bach determinedly on Ida aoifrfo-law. The young' ploughmankissed Ida wife, left her in her father’s anus, and sailed for Australia, whenceha soon ceased to write. His wife be- eamYa mother and remained in a state of such wretched suspense that her father began to repent of the treament to which he Lad subjected her Ltubsud. Efforts werethen made to trace the whereabouts of the latter by means of advertising iu Colonial pspen and otherwise, but all to no purpose. il« had gone to America. Years .passed. The grandson grew up to man-Lood, and, not liking farm-work, badeadieu to Orkney, took ship last year to the United StutoB, and, after some knockingabout, found «mplo.im<nt in a mercantile Louse ih Illinois. In the course of busi ness he discovered that tho gentleman atthe head of tho firm was a natire of Scot land, bailing indeed, trom the same dis trict aa himself. Oecasioucl meetings ledto more minute inquires as to datCB,namc8 of places, persons, and the like in the oldcountry, and, after being six months in tha esiablLehtuenl, the youth found—how- tver wonderful it may appear—that be wasactually nerving as a cleik with no other than bis own father 1 The effect of this discovery on both may be left to the im-agira im of the reader. Father and son are now in Scotland. The man went away apenuiXs»plonghboy but returns rich, has been welcomed with rnneh emotion by hia venerable father-in-law, who is still haloand hearty, as well as by the wife wham be left many years ago in her youth and beauty, but who is now a middle-agedmatron.— New York Tribune, •Id 81 on Simon and tie Widow Xitxnto Cuu»U4iou.

A Chinese Incident. ■* Many^xtraordinary proceedings are re ported from time to time in China, but seldom anything more remarkable than this incident: Mr. Sen, of Soocbow, was dangerously sick of a disease prounced incar able, and bad a eon who Joyed Miss Ma. Miaa Ma was “ sickly and jaundiced-looking,’’ so thnt old Mr. Sen disapproved the match. One day he consulted some conjurers about bis health, and they gravelytold him his life would surely end in a few days ifLia eon was uot married at once.The stern parent then relotrted, and Miss Ma was made Mrs. Sen. But the jaundi ced-looking bride a few days after her wedding suddenly died. Old Mro. Ma was . very angry at this. Accompanied by a doz< n viragoes, she entered the house ofthe Sens aud raised a general commotion. The members of the Sen family were roundly beaten with whips and sticks, andthe furniture was smahed into a hun dred pieces. Ev^body took flight beforethem exc<'pt the widower, who bravely stood his ground and was beaten without mercy by the infuriated dames. At lastthey threw him to the floor and tied him by bis queue to the feet of his dead wife and there extracted from him a pledge thathe would give a protracted wake and mass, lasting for forty-niue dayp. The coffin was lobe an expensive one,and of feasting therewas to he a plenty.A temporary feast was at once prepared for the mother-in-law andher dozen viragoes, and the eating had well begun when iLe mother of young Sen aud all those who bad followed her inflight from the house stealthily entered by a rear dour and decended in fnry upon the banquet scene. They soon learned thatold Mr. Sen had died during their absence, aud this intelligence only added to their rage. Mrs. Sen was beaten roundly till■he cried for help, and when she became exhausted her head was ceremoniously tied to the corpse of okl Mr. Sen. Theratl.e was forced to sign a paper signifying Shat nothing improper had been done, andou the following day there were two funer als in Scocliow and no questions asked. Advice to Young Men. Youngman, if you have a home in the county, stay Ibero. Don’t help to overcrowd ibe oily. Cilv life is a hard life, es pecially at the present time, when for every vacant situation tbero are half adozen applicants. One out of a hundrnd in the city may be able to lay up a little monsy, and one out of two thonsannd may become wealthy ; a small portion will livein comparatively comfortable circum stances; the rest, even if they getaud keep constaut employment, are drudges, whowork bard, get poor Day,besides being con demned to unwnolcsoma diet, and to breathe foul air. In the country vr-ry fewmen have an excuse for being wretchedly poor. The nation would bo ncher, hap pier and better if tho excess of populationin tbo cities would removo to fertile farms, «-f "which there are an abnndance, and en gage in tilling the soil. It is an occupation quite as honorable as selling dry goods and for more desirable than the drudgery or confinement of city life, that wears outthe body before old age comes, and offers no adequate wages to sustain life in re turn. If yon are wise, you will not deserttho couufry. A Boston Phyrician says. —“ Since I received so much relief from theuse of it myself, after a thorough trial of theusual remedies, I have privately advised ita me, and presume I have sent to your store noleas than one hundred of my patients for it.” Price, with Improved Inhaler, Trcatiae, and Directions. $1.00.
