The town of Acton, with a population of ,2100. has placed an order with a , Guelph firm for street signs to be plac ed at the intersection of all streets in town.

Mr. W. G. Mills and son Harry, and Mrs. James Mills were in Detroit last week attending the funeral of the for mer's nephew, Mr. Fred. Mansfield, whose death occurred on Thursday last, after a short illness. A sad fea ture of this death is the fact that hi* sister, Miss Jennie Mansfield, passed away less than two months previously. The semi-fina» of the Southern Counties hockey league are now on, the first game being played on Tuesday evening between Delhi and the local school teams. The former won out. The fire alarm sounded on Monday night last about 7.30 for a blaze which was discovered in the residence on Bidwell street, occupied by Jack Dar row. A quick response was made, and the firemen were enabled to keep the fire confined to the rear part of the house. The furniture on the lower floor was carried out and replaced when the flames had been extinguished, sut- fering very little damage. The con tents of the upper flat were badly dam aged by smoke and heat. The building is owned by a J. Pearce, and the loss is covered by insurance. There was no insurance, however, on the contents. The cause of the fire is not know, as Mr. Darrow was in London at the time and Mrs. Darrow and young son were staying with the formers’ parents, no one being in the house at the time ot the outbreak. _______ Baptist Church Choir Social Last week Mr. and Mrs. W. L Lind say entertained the members and friends of the Baptist church choir at a very interesting and enjoyable val entine social. The evening was so full of real healthful entertainment that it passed away all too quickly as the vari ous contest* were keenly contested. Just before the close each one received an interesting souvenir of the gather ing. Dainty refreshments were served by the hostess, during which a hearty vote of thanks was proposed by the pastor. Rev. Albert Carr, and seconded by Mr. O. E. Twiss, and unanimously and enthusiastically carried. The gath ering concluded with the singing ot "Blest be the tie that binds. The thirty or more guests were unanimous in their opinion that it was one of the best evenings they had ever spent.

Parlow, Manager St. Thomas, Feb. 18.—Injured early last Monday morning when the auto mobile in which she was riding smashed into a hydro pole at Orwell, about nine miles east of here. Miss Edna Blanche Dicrlam, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Dicrlam of Listowel. teacher in the Otterville school, died in the Memorial Hospital this afternoon. She suffered a serious fracture at the base of the skull, and little hope was held out for her recovery from the time she was brought to the hospital. Miss Dierlxm, with Martin Smith, a Detroit young man; J. M. Forde, bank manager at Brownsville, and Miss Annie Jull of Otterville, were returning from Detroit, where they had spent the week-end with friends. Their car is said to have skidded on the snow-covered pavement and hurtled into a power pole, over turning into the ditch. Miss Dierlam was thrown against the top of the car, Mr. Smith suffering minor injuries. Miss Dicrlam’s father. E. H. Dierlam, is travelling representative for the Robinson-Little Company of London, and is well-known throughout Western Ontario. An inquest into Miss Dicr- lam's death will likely be held in Ayl- i mcr In ....------------„ —- ........—Tillsonburg Shoe Company in regard to the announcement in the Hamilton and Brantford newspapers that the above company, had taken over the John McPherson Shoe Company, Lim ited. of Hamilton, they advise us that it was without their authority that this announcement was made and that they are not prepared to make any state ment whatever at present.It has been no secret locally that Mr. L C. vanGccl has been interested in a contemplated deal of the above nature, but there hasn’t been anything definite as yet. We arc jnfonned that if this deal is consummated-it will not affect this factory at all, and also that Mr. vanGeel absolutely has no intention of leaving Tillsonburg. but would only act in Hamilton in an advistory capacity. The News is also assured that the prod uct of the Hamilton factory is not competitive with that of the factory here. We wish to thank the Baptist friends of Courtland. Goshen and Eden, who met with us in church at Eden 2nd gave us another shower in addition to that given us a week before. We are very grateful to the Goshen friends for their gift of a beautiful set of dishes and to the Courtland and Eden friends for their miscellaneous shower of alumi num and granite ware, pillows, towels, blankets, etc., replace much of our loss. A bird of paradise set of cups and sau cers. sugar bowl and cream pitcher and milk jug from the Young Ladies’ class of the Eden Baptist S. S-, and other friends are very useful.

Splendid music was furnished by a trio composed of A. F. F:llborg, Jos. Brooks and Jas. H. Johnson. Enjoyable Entertainment The C.G.I.T. entertainment at St. Pauls United church last Tuesday evening was a most successful and en joyable affair. An entertaining program was given by the girls, including merry jingles, songs, recitations, in strumental selections, etc. The first part was a Romany camp scene, where various characters were introduced, and catchy choruses sung. The echo song was excellently given and elicited rapturous applause. The little piggies caused much merriment, and those who tok the part evidently enjoyed it as much as the audience. The concluding number was a very effective pageant entitled The Way, which concluded with the singing of O Canada. Rev. A. W. Hone Was the efficient chairman, and before the pageant was introduced gave a very instructive explanation of the aims and objects of the G.G.LT. The program reflected credit both on those who did the training and the characters in the program. Mr. W. L. Lindsay received an order on Friday from Hon. G. Howard and Mrs. Ferguson for violets for the vice regal reception at Ottawa. Contained in the request was the significant sug gestion. "Please let Lady Willingdon sec that Canadian-grown violets com pare favorably with English-grown vio let* and that Tillsonburg will have a real place at this reception in Ottawa." The flowers were shipped per C.P.R. on Friday at 335, and reached Rideau hall at 8.40 Saturday morning. The transportation and special deliv ery at Rideau Hall was arranged by A. M. Hare.

TILLSONBURG. Night calls promptly attended to. (St. Mary* Journal-Argus) Wc note that in a number of town* there was difficulty in filling up the municipal slate at New Year's, and in some cases there had to be a~*e>on<l nomination day. It appears to be nj»re than ever the ea»e that many citizen* who have the ability to serve their home town well a* Councillors arc not Killing to do so. While their position cannot perhaps be justified, one can at least sympathize with them a good deal in their attitude. A business man tor instance, who has shown ability in his line is elected to the Town Council. He is perhaps put in charge of the Street* Committee and is responsible for a line of work of which, he knows little or nothing as his ability and training run along other lines. Hi* work at Council it criticised on every street corner and men get to talk about him as if he were a consum mate ass. At the end of the yeat he is defeated perhaps by a man with a mere fraction of his brains. He has been kicked out; he has received little but abuse; and he ha* been demeaned in the eyes of his fellows. He vows that he is through with municipal life for keeps and he turn* his splendid ener gies in other directions. Experiences lil e this frequently occur. And the question arises, shouldn't something be done to remedy the situation so that municipal service will appeal more strongly to our citizens. For one thing it does not appear right, nor in the interest of the munici- pal'ty that a man should be judged by his first year's work. He is just serv ing his apprenticeship period. Other municipal as Boards of Education, missions, Public Library have longer term*, a portion of the membership retiring each year. In this way there is a continuity Of policy and a man has a real chance to make good before he come* up before thv elector*. Why not a similiar system for Town Councils? And speaking of the council's I "policy." wouldn't it be worth consid ering in the average town to have the Town Council confine its attention to directing fqc policy of the town admin istration ana leave the executive work to a capable superintendent who will devote hi* whole time to the job. The superintendent's Salary would be add- cd expense but with the constant over sight of a trained man. economies might Ik effected which would more than offset hi* salary. And it should make the position of councillor a much more attractive one.

We have just received from lhe ’ Bank of Montreal Courtland, a copy ' of a booklet entitled "Sheep for Iftut- , ton. Wool and Money," which is being issued for free distribution to all who : arc interested in the subject.The booklet is intended mainly for the farmer who wishes to keep a small flock of sheep as a profitable side line, and for this purpose it constitutes a reliable and handy guide-to the various breeds ..nd type*, and to the most approved methods of rearing them and making them pay. Something like 150 ,«hologfcM«hs. with diagrams and descriptions covering every phase of the subject, are com prised within the 50 pages of the booklet. The introduction is written by the Dominion Animal Htnbandman. Mr. G. B. Rothwell of the Central Experi mental Fann at Ottawa. He summar ise* the essential* of profitable sheep keeping, and incidentally remark* that at the present time there is possibly no more profitable line of livestock or one in which les* labor or equipment is in volved, than sheep raising, particularly as it applies to the small farm, or as part of a mixed farm. The booklet was originally issued by the International Harvester Company for distribution in the United States. Recognixing its *alue. the Bank of Montreal secured lhe rights for Canada, and had a new edition revised and prepared by Can adian experts to make it suitable for Canadian conditions. Copic* of thi* edition are available to alLwhcthcr cus tomers of the Bank or p6t. upon appli cation at any branch of the Bank.

If workers in general were wise enough to set aside one day a week for garden work in food grow ing and recreation, and another day for the grave aspect of life, we cannot say that even 40 hours a week, namely five days of eight hours, with Saturday and Sunday free where practicable, would seem to us excessively sybaritic for working "norm.” And if the men of science and other* are to be believed strh a standard honestly observed by everybody in the spirit of people de sirous of avoiding waste and creating the highest output achievable in the hour* by co-ordinated effort, would be absurdly more than sufficient to supply the want* of mankind.

PRAYER “We praise Thee, O God, for Thy continued goodness and mercy to wards us. Truly Thy mercies have been new every morning, and Thou hast not withheld Thine hand at the eventide. Above all we thank Thee that Thou hast not left us to fight the battle of life alone, with no prospect but to fail, but thou hast made it pos sible for us to be strong in Thee and in the power of Thy might. With Thy help we may endure like good soldiers all the conflict and stress. So quicken our spiritual faculties that we may see Thy guiding hand in all circumstances. Keep us in that perfect peace which Thou hast promised to all those whose minds are stayed on Thee. Direct every experience so that it may pro mote the development of character. These request* we make, together with a petition for the forgiveness of our sins, through Jesus Chri*t. our Lord. Amen." SCRIPTURE Rev. 21: 1-7. "~\ MEDITATION ReV. 21: 7: “He that overcometh shall inherit all things." Life presents a double conflict as it brings us lace to face with the enemies of the body and of the soul. The battle against the enemies of the body is a losing one. tor sooner or later, the most vigorous body mint succumb to the onslaught* of dis- eaie, or the mArmitie, of old age. By the use of temporary allies, defeat may be postponed, for the time being, but there is no assurance of any permanent victory. As frail children of dust we are subject to the working of that in exorable decree found in God’s Word: “Everything upon the earth shall die." As we consider our text, however, our thoughts are directed towards that other warfare against the enemies of the soul, and with a far more hopeful outlook. In this conflict we are offered the assurance of victory, and the in heritance of the fruits thereof. When we valiantly contend with the enemy, it is with the promise: “He that over- cometh shall inherit all things." The reason for the hopelessness of the first conflict, and the hopefulness of the sec ond, lies in the invincible allies which are ours for the seeking. Joined with us in our battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil, are the all conquering Christ, and tne resources of Heaven. Overcoming in the name of Jesus, we gain an inheritance incor ruptible. and unde filed, and which fadeth not away, as we are kept by the power of God unto salvation.

The late John Pygall was born in North Walsham. Norfolk county, Eng land, in 1836. and came to this country when nineteen years of age. Ocean greyhounds were unknown in those days, and the voyage lasted for five weeks and four days, without any of the comforts and luxuries that fall to the lot of overseas travellers in this day and age. He settled in Strafford- ville. crossing the line at Niagara Falls in the first passenger train that crossed the suspension bridge, and being a mil ler by trade soon found employment in the Pleasant Valley mill. He worked there for some years and then took charge of the Caswell mill, better known as the Sinden mill, west of Eden. After some sixteen years of faithful service there he bought a farm at Maple Grove, and pursued that oc cupation until 1891, when he sold out and bought the property near the Wabash station occupied by Mr. Alton, SEED CLEANING DEMONSTRATION TRAIN AT TILLSONBURG, MARCH 3 wnerc nc remained until 1913, when he sold that property and bought the house and lot on Rolph street, where he has since lived retired.

Mr. Pygall was a staunch Liberal in politics, and though he took a keen interest in pub lic affairs would never accept public office.

Editor Tillsonburg News: Dear Sir,—As the weather the past few days has been a little wet for work ing in the soil and golfing, I thought 1 would start another letter for The New*. In my lasf letter 1 don’t re member saying anything about our church. If you people back home arc anything like lome people out in Cali fornia, church work is not very inter esting reading. I cannot help but think that many of our good people are still interested in the greatest of all great questions, and a question that is of vital importance to each one of us. In the first place. I shall give you some of the items in this year’s budget, for First M. E. Church, Long Beach:—Pastor, $7,000, with furnished parsonage, $9,000 ; assistant pastor, $2,400; director of religious education, $2,700; financial secretary, $1,800; pastor's secretary, $1,500; music, including leader and or ganist, $4.21)0; bulletin*, $1,000; con ference claims, $2,300; with twenty- four other items, making $17,120. The Women's Home Missionary Society, raised $8,200. and the Women's Foreign Missionary Society raised $7,000. Our pastor. Dr. Roach, has been with us over four year*, and has taken one or more into the church every Sunday, he has been present, cither by letter or confession of faith. During his pas torate of four years the church has raised .over $400,000 for all purposes. You must remember that our city is a great tourist city, many coming and go ing. Our church membership keeps at about 2,500, On Saturday. January 8, as we were looking over the announce ments in the press for the following Sunday wc saw in the Calvary Presby terian advertisements (one of the large churches) Rev. S. G. Livingston of Pasadena south was to be the preacher Sunday a.m. Of course we both agreed that wc would run away from our church Sunday and- hear what S. G. had to say. Ae we entered the church early my wife said to me, "There is Sammy.” Remember that speech wa* made in a low voice; had it been out loud in that great church it would have been “Doctor Livingston.” Samuel was as I remembered him as a boy going to Delmer church. Well, we were glad we went. I should not have known him except for his voice and the movement of hi* lip*. He has just started a new moustache, just one week old. It is many years since I saw him. His sub ject was, “Be of Good Cheer," the dis ciples caught in the storm on Lake Galilee. One good feature about hi* sermon was that what he had to say was good, plain and simple, and to the point, and when he got through he knew enough to quit. He preached twenty-five minutes. You know a ser mon is something that if it fails in qual ity you cannot make it up in quantity. Well, we brought S. G. with his girl wife home with us for dinner, and we had a good talk together over bygone days. Before 1 leave this subject my mind goes back sixty years ago when we lived in the old log house on the 12th concession of Dereham. and the W. M. circuit plan was tacked under the clock. Usually there were from two to six names on the plan, the super intendent. the young man, and three or four local preachers, and as I remem ber about six appointments. Well, what interested the Freeman boys most on that plan was the preacher that gave the shortest sermons. Wc boys always thought him the best preacher, and 1 must say that I am still inclined to that belief. Of course conditions have changed. At that time wc drove in the democrat with horses nearly four miles to church. 1 shall never forget those firstly*, secondly* and thirdly*. My firm conviction is that 25 or X minutes is long enough for a sermon, and the time spent by a preacher in preparing a sermon over X minute* (or better still, 25 minutes) he might use to a bet ter advantage in visiting some of hi* sick or wayward member*. I firmly I believe more of our boys and girl*j would be found in our church services _____ if. the sermons were cut down to 25 public Ueeting, in the interest of a ....... ...... grain Pool for Ontario will bt held in the minutes, or even 20 minutes.

Surprise and Presentation Mr. and Mrs. John McKim, who have sold their farm at South Middleton. were surprised on Thursday last, when neighbors and friends began to arrive in ever increasing numbers, bringing with them the ''makings” of a commu nity feast. By noon the house was fill ed with those who had come to express their regret at losing their friends from the neighborhood, and to give tangible tokens of good will and good wishes. After a thoroughly satisfying dinner. Rev. R. Edis Fairbairn called the meeting to order, and proceeded to make the presentation on behalf of the whole community. Afterwards Mr. McKim responded, expressing the ap preciation oi Mrs. McKim and himself for the gift*, and still more for the kindliness which they represented, and for the joy he had found in working together with those who had labored with him in the Sunday school, which he had served as superintendent for over thirty years. The following is the address accompanying the gifts: Dear FriendsIt is with feelings of regret that wc are gathered together today, as a farewell party. We feel it only right and proper that your old friends and neighbors, who have known and respected you both so long, should thus show the regard they have for you and also the appreciation they feel for the interest you have always shown in the welfare and progress of the com munity in which, so far. your lives have been spent. Having lived here so long, you have necessarily seen very many changes with the passing of the years, some of which, wc rejoice to think, have been for the improvement and uplift of the people of South Middle ton ; others have been such as have been a eause for grief and discourage ment : in all these changes, however, you have shown your joy or sympathy, as the case might be. and have ever been ready with a helping hand, or word of cheer and encouragement. More especially will the absence of you. Mr. McKim. be felt in our Sunday school, as its able superintendent, where you have labored so faithfully and pcrscvcringly for Io ng over the quarter century mark, and of whom it can truthfully be said. “He allured to brighter worlds, and led the way ” and to whom the words of the Master might apply. "Well done, good and faithful servant.” Wc felt wc could not allow you to go from our midst without presenting you with a sign of our affection and esteem, and so ask you to accept this library table and bible, in token oi our regard for you both: and wherever you may go. wc hope the lines will fall to you in pleas ant places, and may prosperity attend your way and the blessing of God go with you through life.

A good egg from the best stock will hatch out a weak, puny chick, if not properly incu bated. Each year, on thousands of poultry farms, poor equipment spoils enough eggs and devitalizes enough hatches to cause a loss of hundreds of dollars that should have been saved. Choose your hatching equipment carefully—on the basis of merit, performance and reputation. Pick it from the time-tested and univer- sally used Automatic Line, and assure yourself ALL the profits the chicken business holds for you. AUTOMATIC INCUBATORS rqd>t start in life—there is no other incubator made that can compare withlthe Automatic Here is a safe "home" In.every sense of the word— _ exceptionally well —a built — clean, warm and cozy — and with a simple system of Automatic control Which positively in sures at all times fresh warm air of precisely the right temperature for best possible hatching re sult*. The Automatic Incubator cannot overheat—c a n n o t failing patented Au tomatic Revolving Chute maintains a constant vigil over the heating unit—24 hour* every day—guaranteeing a uniformity of temperature unequalled by any other incubator made. Success is a certainty—when you own an Automatic Incubator. And satisfaction is guaranteed. The Automatic Incubator gives you larger hatches and stronger chicks. It require* far less attention than any other incubator. It is sturdily built—of choicest California Redwood—with extra heavy dotfblc wall* and hardware of finest quality—to give a life time of perfect service. And it is the only incubator on the market with the famous Automatic Revolving Chute—the most important develop ment the industry ha* ever known. GIVE US A CALL POW & WILCOX HARDWARE Block I never without a suitor—the present one being Mr. Bill Ipsy, whom Letty's | blended characteristics of fun. frolic. | w isdom and goodness had amused, at- i traded and completely won. But I Letty would none of him. any more ; than of anybody else. She laughtjj at . him, mid said that she meant to be ’’an I old maid governess" to her little nieces ' and nephews. Her friends never sur- ' miscd the true reason why Letty re- I inaincd single, for the very name and I existence of her old friend. Joseph Barton, was forgotten by them. She was an enigma, beyond their solving.I They said she was entirely too hard to I please in a husband—too fastidious and I particular for a world like this, and a j life like ours. They said that she was , cut out for an old maid. Well, it might have bc«n so; but if to have a constant, integral heart, and to lack the |facility of shiftingfi her affections to I any object that chance might throw in I her way. was to be "cut out for an old | maid.” it was a right sorry compliment ! to her sisters, who were cut out for anything else. But this is a’digression. ■ for why should wc concern ourselves with the past history of Letty, who was1 one of those persons whose outer life is entirely devoted to others, and whose inner life is a secret of all.' To resume: , I said that she would glaldy have re- i inaincd with her fasoritc brother and hi* family at Howlet Hollow, but she I «aw a young brood of babies, having a | fond mother, yet sadly needing a | mother's care, and she resigned the be- | loved companionship, intellectual pur- . suits and elegant ease in her brother's home, and went to the village with the Lovel*. to assist her pretty, frivolous sister l.ucv in bringing up a nursery full of infant*. In doing this, Letty never thought that she wa* making any unreasonable sacrifice, or doing anything more than the plain duty re quired of her. And to Daniel Hunter’s earnest expostulation and entreaty that she would make his house her perpet ual home, she replied: "Not where I should be happiest, dear brother Dan. but where I should be most useful, must I live." And so she departed. And Mr. and Mrs. Hunter, with their daughters, and their relative. Sir Henry Percival, remained together at the HallSir Henry Percival was certainly as deeply smitten with the beautiful Maud Hunter as it wa* possible for him to be. and yet he j-assed the whole of hi* time in attention upon Honoria!

That’s why married men sue- Hunter was forgotten in this contest Some time before the electioneering war had reached its highest point of excitement. Mr. Hunter had been re peatedly. and bv many voices, summoned to the rescue of the Old Guards. He was called to the field of political action by appeals made to him through the columns of the newspapers', by let ter* from (icrsonal and political friends, and finally by a committee from the Old Guard convention, who .travelled Jrom the distant city in which it was in session to solicit Mr. Hunter to be- come their candidate for the House of Representative* and to show him the opinion of the convention that he was the only man certain to win over the vote* of the majority of the faction., and thus reunite and consolidate the- party. Thus argued, Daniel Hunter con sented once more to enter the arena of- political strife. Aftd the committee • departed with hl* answer. This determination of Mr. Hunter I wa* excessively distasteful to ail his , During all these year*, and since her parents' death Letty had had several very eligible offer* of marriage, but she had politely and thankfully declined them all. “Her heart still clung to the mouldering past." Many loved Letty, but few understood her, and none guessed that under that quaint, quizz ing countenance—below that queer, funny, comical, ever-changing, ever- varying smile and glance—in that heart that seemed to be an ever-springing, ever-sparkling font of merry wisdom wit and humor—there lived and burned I an clernal passionate longing, un quenchable by lime and absence—yea, I by death and the grave! To see him once more. Io hear him talk, to discover | what it was that had kept them apart these many years, that they might 'otherwise have passed together— to be reunited—to spend the noon and esening of life with him she had missed . in the early morning—this was the de- ' sire that in its intensity caught her breath awav. when she dared to think of the possibility of its fulfilment. Since their sad parting she had never once heard directly from the love of her youth (her old friend as in her heart she gingerly called him, for Letty, at times, wa* thoroughly ashamed of the secret passion that would not yield to years and reason). She knew nothing about him, except that the little western village to which he had emigrated was now a thriving town; that he himself was a prosperous merchant, and that he was unmarried, and she felt that he loved her still; she felt it. without fully believing it. for the spirit often dis cern* a truth that the intellect refuses to acknowledge, and the proud head often laugh* to scorn the simple wis dom of the heart, until time, the final umpire, decide* between them. So Letty, against all circumstantial evi dence to the contrary, and against her own reason aud judgment, felt that her old friend cherished her memory still But if so. why had he not sought her? Ah! there was some misconception sojiie misunderstanding. And- some times, when the desire to see him again became so strong, so importunate, such a silent cry wrung from her heart she would feel an almost irresistible im pulse to write to him. But something j would always restrain her: something would always oblige her to crus£ down ’ the impulse, to stifle the cry. and go on in silent, cheerful endurance as before. ' And so the weary years passed, and difficult to explain -exactly how this happened. It might have been neces sity. habit or fatality—lhe compulsion of surrounding circumstances and of people's expectations—the obligation enforced upon him by his antecedent* . i • __a'-the tyranny of the past over the. fa,n,,.>. • bu‘ •« *nd I present; or it might have been only' opposite, reasons that they disliked it. • the young lady's own exaction, which in common gallantry the young gentle man could not resist. At all events, they were always together—in their early morning ride, in their forenoon reading* in the library, in the after noon drive, in the evening lounge in the drawing-room, everywhere, at all hours of the day, they were together. And - the Hunters looked upon their engage-1 ment a* a settled thing, and wondered how anyone could have been so mis- Maud, who was now the inseparable companion of her parent*. And Daniel Hunter continued to oc cupy himself with the improvement of his neighborhood. New stone-quarries were opened in the Barrier, and new coal and iron mine* were searched for and discovered in the Ridge. A wool len factory and an iron foundry, and sawmill* were erected at the Summit. And good and reliable inducements were held out to mechanics and labor- ers, from the over-stocked city, to come and settle there. A county paper was established, and a high school for boy* projected. And pri vate buildings went up rapidly at the Summit. And new road* were cut. and a railroad was contemplated. But these plans ol improvement required time to realize them. Even with Daniel Hun ter “to the fore" and hi* strong “shoulder to the wheel,’’ they could not be perfected in a year.Daniel Hunter, with his constitution ally affectionate though unimpassioned nature, and with his habitual endeavor to unite and harmonize hi* public, social, domestic life—had drawn his wife and daughter deeply into all hi* wishes and purpose* for the good of the neighborhood. And Mrs. Hunter and Maud, when no urgent household duty compelled their presence at home, were ever to be found with him upon hi* scene of labor. And very often he appealed to the taste and judgment of wife and daughter to embellish the de sign of some building, or decide the bend of some road. Thc*e were delightful days to the three. To be thus laboring for the wcl- iarc of their neighborhood, and active ly employed outdoor* during all the beautiful spring and summer weather, brought them vigorous health and cheerfulness. Maud found herself full of hope and joy, for she had perfect faith in her father's power to bring her early trial* to a happy issue. and through him she often heard that Falconer was still at Donzoni’* studio, and in a fair way of doing well.Mr*. Hunter wa* happier than ever before—happier in her*elf. and happi est in her husband and daughter. Even Daniel Hunter had lost that an. f - 7 , .iposite reasons that they disliked it. i Miss Honoria wa* extremely vexed, I * became, as she confided to her friend, j Mr*. Lovel: ’’My father can win no new fame | from an electioneering victory over a . —village stone-cutter—who is, as I am 1 informed, the nominee of the Out and Outer*. And then only think of a man . like my father, who has filled the high- . j est office* in the State—who ha* been ' year* in the Senate—who ha* been res ident miniiter at the highest courts of Europe—has been in the Cabinet at • Washington—who has been twice the) Governor of M----; I say now just think of the mortification it is to me to have him come down from that posi tion. to run against a village stone cutter, and take his scat in the House of Representatives by the side of the newest men there—village mechanics, too lazy to work, though not to make stump speeches, and country pettifog ging lawyers, too worthless for their legitimate business, and who have taken to politics."Mrs. Love! coincided entirely with Miss Honoria’* sentiments, sympa thized with her feelings, and said she wished her brother were not so— "peculiar.” Mrs. Hunter’s objections were more reasonable. She grieved to see him returned again to that field of harass ing labor in which his health and strength and peace had been already almost exhausted. She remembered the disgraceful scene of opposition, abuse and violence that had met him on his return from abroad. And to see him take the stump again, and expose his noble head to the aggressive and insulting taunts and missiles—or the al- nost equally humiliating shouts and laudations of the mob; oh, this required all her faith and patience to enable her to bear it. She knew that Daniel Hun ter's public career was, or ought to be, over—that there were no new honors to be gained by him in entering again. upon a public life. And. noble woman | though she was. she was not Spartan • enough to be willing to see her husband 1 sacrifice himself for the Common-' wealth alone. Letty perfectly agreed with Mrs. |l Hunter, and shared her misgivings rel- . ativc to the result. Maud grieved that __ _ ________ ORANGE PEKOE BLEND ALWAYS watch mrr the "improvements," and __ __ __ __ that be gave up his cozy evening talks “ and readings—that he was absent from | them so frequently, and for so long a । time—that his hours at home were - mostly taken up by political friends and adherent*, and mostly that he lost his cheerfulness, and grew thoughtful. anxious and haggard. He had in truth a violently prejudiced faction to meet and overcome. And had Daniel Hun ter been the candidate for any very high office, it i* probable that—“the Courtier." "the Aristocrat." "the Rcne- C.de Republican." as they miscalled im—would have been defeated. But when he became a candidate only to be their Representative in Congress^-> a post which even hi* enemies knew | very well could bring him no new glory [ —and when his friend* made use of i that circumstance to convince the pco-1 pic that their oldest friend and advo cate—the very patriarch of the people’s , party, the very veteran commander of their host, was willing to serve them in an humbler capacity, wa* willing to enter the rank* and do battle for their right*, side by side with the newest re cruit.; when this wa* felt and under stood. then indeed there was a great revolution in Daniel Hunter’s favor, and a* Reaction is always equal to action, the return of the ebbing tide of popular favor was tremendous —was overwhelming.Il was in vain that Falconer O Leary, the handsome, impassionate. enthusi- | astic stump orator, harrangued the peo- , pie with all hi* might, flying from sta- ; tion to station through the Congres sional district; making a dozen fiery - speeches in a dav and night, denounc ing the Old Guard* and Daniel Hunter, and grossly misrepresenting, because1 honcstlv misapprehending hi* charac- I ter, motive*, principles and politic*. । And crowds, while under the immedi ate power of hi* eloquence, were car-1 ried away by hi* mesmeric influence, and huzzaed and shouted, and cheered him and hi* measure* to his heart s content, and dispersed to get drunk m hi* honor.

And he now looked younger, stronger, and in better health, than for year, before. And his wife thanked God in her heart a* she said: “Yes! this active, useful life of a country gentleman is exactly what he need* now-it i* exactly the life that will nubciid and refresh and recreate his health and energies." Yc! this was a delightful regenerat ing life for him; would it might have lasted longer! But Daniel Hunter was above all things, a state..man and poli tician. and he could not by any possi bility divide himself from the political interest* of hi. country-thcy attracted him with an irresistible force.And now a new question of national policy arose, of a nature so important and exciting .comprising in itself so many bitterly conflicting interests, that the two great political parties of the country were shivered into factions, and the old l>oundary lines of politic* destroyed in the new storm. Daniel Hunter’s old party was split by the maddest of radical factions, who dubbed themselves the ’Out and Outers," while the conservative half were honored with the name of 'The Old Guards."The State election for Representa tive* to Congress was approaching, and this stormy question was shaking the Commonwealth to its very centre. Con vention* were called and then violently broken up Mas* meeting* were sum moned to deliberate, but met only to fight Stump orator* went abroad, and sometimes got praised and feasted, and carried in triumph, and sometime* mobbed and half murdered. And the Old Guard, and the Out and Outer* never met singly, or in numbers, with out pitching into a battle of words or blows—a I'outrance. This desperate state of affairs, with his party divided against itself, a* well as against all other parties, gave Daniel Hunter the greatest pain and anxiety—(rouble that was soon augmented by a letter from Donzoni, informing him that his pro tege. Mr. Falconer O’Leary, had left hi* studio. left incomplete two or three very promising work* of art. and that he had gone ’to parts unknown." The simple fact was this: At the very first note of alarm, at the first sound of the trumpet heralding a fierce political strife. Falconer had thrown down chisel and hammer, model and copy, rushed from the studio, and hurled himself, body and soul, pcllmell into the very thickest of the fight And while gentle Maud wa* weeping over his disappearance, Daniel Hunter soon heard of him, stumping the district from one end to the other, and attract ing to him all lhe fierce, political in cendiaries and maddened malcontents that comprised the radical faction of the old party. According tp the State Constitution.

"That is an excellent plan, indeed. And I presume. .Major ------ will gladly accede to your proposal." "Certainly: it will make no trouble or expense for the Major, and he will be glad at once to oblige me and to secure a desirable addition to his party. It will also fall, directly in with, the Major's benevolence and love of pat ronizing genius to afford this young man all the advice and assistance he may require." . _ "Your purpose is certainly admirable, and—but I did not intend the imperti nence of praising you. Daniel Hunter," said the lady, with eyes soul-full of love and honor fixed upon his face. In a few weeks, the plan that Mr. Hunter had sketched was fully carried out.

And the sight of one such al- way: gave Maud great distress. After, one day, reading a bitter vituperative invective launched by the fiery young orator against her father, she dropped the paper and suddenly burst into a passionate fit of tears. Her father took her hand, and sought to soothe and quiet her. But she refused to be com forted saying, between her sobs, that the acrimonious hatred between two that she loved so much would break her heart. And her father calmly and silently held her hand until the gust had passed. And then, when he could get a look at her tearful, flushed, half hidden face, he smiled on her, with that smile of conscious power, noble benignity and liberal interpretation, that ever excited her gratitude and love, and inspired her with faith and hope; and he said: "My dear, never mind.

I 1 do not know, but certainly I like him • more am! more every day." | This was true. Daniel Hunter, from I many different causes, had conceived for the wild young radical leader a really paternal affection. And when [ the crisis came, and the election was ’ decided, and Daniel Hunter was re turned by an overwhelming majority— amid the triumph and rejoicing he felt a pang of sympathy with the disappoint ment and chagrin of his fiery young antagonist; he longed to pour into his car the words of counsel, comfort and strength; he felt increased anxiety on account of the boy. and made numcr- lous inquiries concerning him; fruitless I inquiries; for immediately after the de cision of the election Falconer had dis appeared from the neighborhood. Mr. Hunter, however, wrote to his friend. Donzoni. telling him that he felt great interest in the well-doing of the young sculptor; that he knew the boy. in his disappointment, dejection and morbid pride, would never volun tarily present himself at the studio he had left so suddenly and cavalierly: and requesting him to inquire out and write to his* former pupil and invite his return.In a month after sending this letter. Mr. Hunter had the gratification of re ceiving one from the old sculptor, in forming him that he had recovered his student—that Falconer was with him, but so depressed, so ill. so despairing, as to be almost incapable of work. He wrote that the youth had expressed a desire to go to Rome, to study the old masters, but that he had not the means of paying even his travelling expenses, to say nothing of the cost of living after he should get there. further wrote that he thought nothing could so, in all respects, benefit the young artist as a few years’ residence in that old city of the arts.Mr. Hunter read this letter with un qualified pleasure, and then communicated its contents to his wife, and said: "Now. this falls out exactly as I 1 would have it. exactly as 1 anticipated. He wants to go and cultivate his art in Rome, and 1 can send him there.” Mrs. Hunter's eyes questioned him. “Ah. I sec what you arc doubting. Augusta. You think that if that young man never get* to Rome in any other way. he will never consent to owe his visit to me. Very likely, if he is per mitted to know anything about it. But that shall not be. He shall go and never dream that he goes at any one's cost hut his own This is my plan: Only yesterday. I procured for our friend. Major ------. an appointment as Charge at Rome. I will get him to advertise for a private secretary to a gentleman . about to go to Rome for a residence of ' several years. 1 will take care that Falconer secs this advertisement. He will be sure to seize the opportunity and answer it He will be engaged, of course, and will accompany his cm- I plover to Rome."
