We Bometimes complain of dry weather, and sometimes of rain. The past summer has been one of extraordinary drought, and if the usual equilibrium is to. be maintained the coming winter may be unusually wet Fires occasionally destroy the forests, and floods sweep over certain portions of the settled country. Aside from these British Columbia seems particularly free from those phenomena which leave death and destruction in their track. Dining the whole of the past summer a large part of the United States has been devastated by floods, hurricanes and cyclones. Millions of property have been destroyed, whole communities have been blotted out, and many lives have been lost, We have no hurricanes in this country, . and no cyclones. We are also free from earthquakes. Although a very mountainous country, of vast extent and varied climate, British Columbia has no fear of the forces which He beneath the surface of the earth. Occasionally a Blight shook may be felt, but the earthquake itself does not visit our shores. And we are also remarkably free from pestilence. Once or twice since this province bo- came oivilized.it has had small pox; but the disease was confined chiefly to the Indians, and its s;-rcad was probably more the result of carelessness and uncleanness than from any other cause. It is admitted by all comers tbat we have a climate unsurpassed by any region on the continent, and our freedom from tho plagues from which others sutler may possibly have something to do with this fact. It is said that peoplo accustomed to earthquakes can predict their approach from certain peculiar conditions of the atmosphere. The atmosphere of British Columbia undoubtedly contains ingredients which are not universal. It is a well known faet that a case of hydrophobia has never been known on the Pacific coaBt. We have never seen a cause assigned for this, but one would naturally e:,-pect to find the cause in the condition of the attnos phere. The air in tins country is remarkably pure, and free from miasma, People who (Alike their home in British Columbia may de so with the. assurance tlmt they Stand upon a foundation whicli never orumbles, and that no utuiosphm-ic disturbances will ever occur to interfere with their peaceful und pros- porous existence. Chinese Commercial Aggression. A Philadelphia dispatch says that B. 0. Spicor, a wealthy resident of the Pacific coast, just returned from Victoria, remarked: "Whilo in Victoria I was informed that a delegation ef celestials were buying up a (treat portion of available building lota in the 'suburbs. I discovered that these Chinamen represented . in themselves not only * large amount of money, but. they were vested with authority' by hundreds of their fellow countrymen throughout the United States to invest their capital as they thought best. In New York a silent but powerful forco Ib day by day gathering stiwth, that, ere long, will place Chinameii on a financial footing with hundreds of American retailers and small property owners in that oity. Take Fivo Points for instance. Gradually the Chinese arm of proprietorship is extending around it, and even to-day there are numerous toa stores owned by Chinamen in that section." Niagara to be Utilized. A Buffalo dftpatoh lays: The problem which has for some time enlisted publio attention, namely, how to utilize the enormous power going to waste In the Niagara river, is one step nearer a solution than it ever was before. £. Baker, a Boston engineer, arrived in Buffalo yesterday morning to look over the field and take preliminary steps tq- yrard an introduction of his apparatus. It iB claimed by this gentleman that a power equivalent to that furnished by 500,000 hones can be obtained by submerging his motor in the midst of Niagara river, a foroe sufficient to pump all the water to generate all tl.e electricity and to run all the machinery in the city of Buffalo, and this, too without going to Niagara Falls for a head of water. -■■■ I- ■' «•*•■ Clerk of the Court—"Owen Duller- ty.

A Jefferson City Special to the St. Louis Republican says: Gov. Campbell today issued a pardon to Eli Burnett, of Bates county, who was, nt the July term, 1882, sentenced to three years. in the penitentary for grand larceny. The pardon was granted upon n petition which sets out that the crime committed was Burnett's first offense, and that, the law having been sufficently vindicated by a year's imprisonment, if given hiB liberty he would lead an honest life; and further, he ia the father of a little, motherless, sickly girl, who iB thrown upon the world, and who needa a father's oare and attention. The petition is signed by the prosecuting attorny, sheriff and recorder of the county, ex-State Senator Bradley, and a largo number of prominent citizens of Butler-county, among whom aro bankers, physicians, attorneys, merchants, ministers, farmers and other trades and profesaiona. The Governor's order recites as follows : " Granted, for the reasons given in the within application signed by the prosecuting attorney, prosecuting witnesses, nnd the officers of the county nnd leading citizens, and especially upon tho application and tearful supplication of his six-year-old motherless little girl." The petition was presented yesterday by the Bister of the prisoner, who was accompanied by the little child. While the Governor was reading tho petition the little girl quietly approached him, and, attracting his attention, aaid, with streaming oyes and trembling lips: "Please sir, let my papa go home with me." The Governor was greatly affected by this simple prayer of the little orphan, nnd with difficulty controlled his feelings. It waB no put-up job, no acting; simply the earnest pleading of a weak little child for her pupa. Whatever he might do to others, to her he was nll in all. Too young to know of crime, she only knew her father had been taken from her and was.in prison, and ahe wanted him. The Governor, however, did not allow his feel intra to awny him iu the matter, and declined to act in tho caso until he had duly considered it, but kindly told tho little one he would seo what lie could do for her by morning. Whon sho loft sho took his hand and aaid: "Please let mo have my pupa." This morning the sister nnd child again called on the Governor, and the child renewed her pleadings for her father's release. Tho Governor, not having decided ou granting the pardon, told tho little one ahe could go home on to-day's train and he would send her word what he would do, but sho replied, "I cannot go home again without papa." Following this thoy took iheir departure and wont out to tho penitentiary. About au hour later the Governor ciimo to the conclusion that tho circumtdances of the case, the strung recommendations, nnd particularly the need of the child for a protector, warranted executive clemency, nnd order- cdythe pardon. Immediately upon its being tiigued ho dispatched a mease tiger tu tho prison with it, so the littlo one's heart might bo made glad mid her bur leu of sorrow removed aa soon as possi bio, The mater ot the prisoner says never a day hits passed sinco tho imprisonment of Burin ii that the little girl h-m uot wept for her fathor aud fretted for hia return. * » ■» Two inclics from Death. The engineer of the train which reaches thia city from Novristowu ut 11 o'clock at night had a thrilling experience tin Wednesday. His train left Norrlstown with every prospect of reaching JSith and Green street station on time and without incident worth mention. The train was rushing ou at tho rate of nbuut thirty miles un hour, and was within half a mile of Cnusho- hockou when tho watchful engineer wns horrified at seeing a man lying within a hundred yards ahead of hia ongino, and with his head apparently on the rail. The air breaks wero put down, the engine reversed, nnd every effort made to stop the train beforo the wheels reached the man's head. It was too late. On tho engine rushed— on a hundred yards before the train oould be stopped. When it same to a standstill the conductor, onginur, and a numbor yf passangers went back to pick up tlm mangled remain of the unfortunate victim. Imagine their Bur- prise upon discovering thnt the man wna neither dead nor mangled, but sleeping quietly alongside the track, not at all disturbed by the racket which had boon recently made by the passing train. Hia head was on a tie not moro thnn two inches from tha rail, and the wheels of tho train must have passed over it within less thnn that distance. HiB body was stretched along tho sleepers just outside the rail. The conductor woke him up roughly, and asked him what he meant, by thus courting such a horrible death. "Jl don't want nothing but a little nap," said ho, " and I don't see why a feller can't go to Bleep out in the air in the country without getting hauled about like he waa a thief." When tho danger of his position was pointed out to him he only aaid: "Well, I guess I had better got out a little further." He was finally driven off and warned not to attempt such a nap again. Ho went off grumbling, and not at all grateful. Engineer Ober says he never saw suoh a man. " I beliovo," said he, "that that fellow could havo slupl on top of one of tho volcanoes of Java during an earth-junke.''—Philadelphia Record,, * DRS. IMNNES & MATHERS.

If another application is made for the incorporation of Port Moody, as intimated, we hope the promoters of the scheme will not resort to the subterfuges made uso of on a former occasion. Jf there are bona fide citizens enough at Fort Moody to constitute a municipality, and they are agreed upon the propriety of incorporation, we suppose incorporation will be had. But it cannot be obtained by means of bogus leases. Bush tactics are unworthy of the terminal oity, aud they will not succeed. The bona fide residents of Fort Moody should well consider, however, whether they will gain anything by incorporation. We are decidedly of the opinion that they would not The community isal- together too small and its resources are too limited for carrying on tho affairs of a municipality successfully. Beforo a respectable revenue oould be raised taxes would be very heavy, and we have yet to learn what advantage is to he gained. We have not only denied that story already, but have shown on the authority of Mr. J. 0. Hughes and Constable Sharpe that it was impossible. Its repetition ean do no harm except to those who are silly enough to proclaim themselves as wilful falsifiers. The Branch Railway. We have several times drawn attention to the necessity of railway connection between this oity and thoC. P. R, and pointed out the . importance of immediate action. The more one reflects upon tho sub- ject the more clearly must it appear that the progress and development of thia city can never bo assured without railway connection. We are gled to learn that the directors of the Now Westminster ifc Port Moody Bailwny Co. aro beginning to show signs of life, and there is a probability of somo notion being taken towards the construction of the road. The company was incorporated last year, and the authorized capital is $200,000, which, it was estimated, would be sufficient to build the road. It is .the general opinion that this road should con- nect with the 0. P. E. somewhere about the Coquitlam river bridgo. The distance to that point is, we believe, about 8 miles, and there are no serious bin-tiers in tho way of road'making. The cost would be vory much less than tho cost of a road to Port Moody, nnd the accommodation would be equally good. The only serious question which presents itself is that of ways and means. It may be fairly presumed that all are agreed upon the necessity of the work, but there may be difference of opinion concerning tha mode of its accomplishment. Where is the.$200,000 to come from! We believe the people of this city may make up their minds that no such road will be built by private enter- prise unless it is subsidized by a municipal bonus of some kind. The scheme is proposed wholly in the interest of the city, and the oity will certainly be called upon to give it a subsidy. It has been suggested that property-owners should be asked te subscribe sufficient to build the road. When built it would undoubtedly add to the value Of city property from fifty to a hundred per cent., and it would pay the holders of real estate to hand over one-third of their property rather than lose the road. But would they do itt We are afraid not Some might, and those who refused would receive the same benefit as those who consented. In a scheme which involves the welfare of the whole community it would be just and proper that every citizen Bhould be assessed in proportion to the inter est he hu at stako. We do not know how large a bonus would be required, but if it does not exceed $50,000 we are of opinion that a by-taw granting it would bo carried, Not long ago it was suggested by .the Columbia-* that some of our oity reserves should be sold.- We havo more public squares and gap dens than we shall ever make good use of. It was suggested that a proper title be obtained to these wast* lands, and that a large portion of them be sold for the benefit of ths eity. In this way a large sum might bo realized, and it has been suggested to us that the proceeds of tho nl* should bo applied towards tha railway bonus We believe this way of meeting the difficulty is worthy of serious consideration. At ' present these publio reserves answer no useful purpose whatever. They bring no revenue to the city, and thoy am of no benefit to anyone, U tbey vim Mid, tht proceeds might materially lessen the railway bonus to be borrowed; and these properties would yield a largo revenue tc the city in the shape of taxes. There seems to be an opinion in some quarters .that this railway should not be built until the question of the C. P. B. terminus has been absolutely settled, as grave doubts exist on that subject. We think this would be most unwise. The terminus will undoubtedly remain at Port Moody for some years at least, and it iB of the utmost importance that the railway from this oity should be constructed with the least possible delay. If connection is made with the C. P. B. at the Coquitlam, a change of terminus will not affect our road at all. But if the C. P. II. is completed and pnt in operation before we make connection with it, this oity will at once lose her position as mistress of the mainland trade. She cannot compete successfully with Port Hammond or Fort Moody without railway connection. ' Dcluy, therefore, means disaster. There is everything to bo gainod and nothing to bo lost by prompt nnd energetic action. Noxt year the C. P. B. will be in operation from Port Moody to Yale, and it is quite likely the bulk of the interior traffio will go over that road. At the same time it is believed there will be direct steamboat connection between this city and the terminus of the Northern Paoifio Kailway on Pugot Sound. New Westminster will then be in a position to do* the wholesale trade of the mainland ou more advantageous terms than 'Viotoria. But can she expect to compete with Port Hamm'md, if tho steamers choose to make that their headquarters I Goods coming over the Northern Pacifio must be sent by steamer to this city, transhipped nnd i,. L by another steamer to Port Hammond before they could reach tho railway for the interior. Every transhipment means an additional expense; and if the steamers went direct to Fort Hammond goods would be delivered there just as cheaply as at this city. . But we have before pointed out that if /.ere was railway connection between this city and the C. P. R,, we would at once become the practical terminus of both the O. P. B. and the steamboat lines. To secure this position we should strain every nerve. We shall be glad to receive for publication the suggestions of any person who may wish to discuss tho subject of railway connection and how to secure it. In the multitude of councillors there is wisdom. A CARD. To the Citizens of New Westminster; Gentlemen,—In resigning into your hands before tlie expiration of iny term the trust reposed iu me by you at tho beginning of tiio year it in necessary that I should explain my reasons for doing so. When I accepted the position of Mayor of this City I did so with a full knowledge of the responsibility that would devolve on me in carrying out the duties connected with the otlice and with a determination to the best of my ability to carry them out in an efficient manner. Whether I have done so or not is not for me to say; hut it must bo evident that without the confidence and support of tho Municipal Council those duties cannot be effectively discharged. A case has recently occurred in which necessary support required was denied me, aid my confidence in the Council is therefore shattered. I cannot consent to remain in the position of Mayor of the City with " "" on my shoulders of the carrying out the laws iu force here with the feeling that the Municipal Council might nullify or impede my action, and my only course, therefore, Is to resign.

Any person passing ovor the front road just now will be able to judge of their habits from the character of ths odors, Municipal Election. ■— In consequence of the resignation of Mayor Edmonds, for reasons which are statud iii another column, nn election will bo held next Saturday.

Thomson (correspondent Seattle Post-Intcttigencer), Mra, S, D. Howe, Mrs. J. M. Pearlman, Capt, Geo, D. Hill nnd wife, Mrs. Judgo Burke, M. J. Carkeek and wifo. The party left Seattle on Thursday morning, and visited Hood's Canal, Port Townsend, Victoria, nnd San Juan Islands before reaching this port. On Monday thoy drove ovor to Port Moody to seo tlio terminus. They wero pleased with the trip but somewhat disappointed at tlio terminal city, where they expected to find quite a business community. Iu the afternoon they boarded tho Stoamer and went up river, intending to inspect tho Pitt River bridge. Some difficulty *ns found at the mouth of Pitt River, nnd tho party proceeded up tho Frasor as far ns Christian Island, a short distance above Stave Rivor, whoro thoy anchored for the night. Yestorday forenoon thoy returned to this oity and proceeded ou the home, stretch, intending to tako in Bolmighnm Bay, Whatcom, and some .othor places. During her stay horo the Eliza Anderson untcrtained the excursionists and citizens with a number of popular airs played on the steam calliope whioh she carries on deck. It was a jolly crowd, and the members appeared to onjoy thoir trip amazingly. W. J. Gunny, druggist, of Newbury, writes!—"Dr, Fowler's Wild Strawberry is hist tho thing for Summer Sickness. I sold out my stock three times Inst Hummer. Thero was a good demand for it." Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry is infallible for Dysentery, Colic, Sick Stomach and Bowel Complaint, The Mayor's Resignation. We regret very much that Mr. Edmonds has resigned his position as mayor of this oity, nnd wo regret still more the circumstances under which that resignation took place. Ths oir- ouinstances were fully stated at the meetiug on Monday night, and are briefly as follows: Some months ago Constable Jackmau reported to the mayor that he had reason to believe an illicit liquor traffic was being carried on in the oity, and that he might be able to eeoure a conviction if one half the fine were made available for that purpose. The mayor brought ths matter boforo the members of the council, and it was agreed that the constable's suggestion should be adopted. Constable Jnckman did not succeed, however, iu getting a case. Constable Knight was appointed some time ngo, and made a similar application to the mayor) who informed him that it would be all right. Lost week Constable Knight brought coses against two of the houses of ill-fame, with whioh our city is cursed, and secured a conviction in both instances. In each case a fink of 8150 was imposed by the police magistrate, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Ferris, a councillor and a magistrate, came down from the bench to plead the cause of these women. At the next meeting of the council a resolution was moved by Mr. Ferris and seconded by Mr. Elliott, forbidding the clerk of the police court to pay sny portion of these fines to any person except tho city olerk. This resolution was carried, the mayor boing absent at Port Moody at the time. On his return the mayor proposed a resolution at the council meeting lost Monday night to tho effect that half these fines should go to Constable Knight, as had previously been agreed' The mayor explained the circumstances and showed that the action he proposed could not be avoided without breaking faith with the constable and through the constable with the person who gave information. But the council would not listen, and the motion was voted down. Mr. Curtis was the only member present who sustained the mayor: Mr. Dickinson was absent. Under these circumstances tho mayor tendered his resignation, and it was accepted. It has long been reported that there wore people in this oity selling liquor without license,, and doing other things for whioh no license could be obtained. Some people have blamed the constables for permitting these things to exist, while others have held themayor responsible. The people will know now whero the responsibility really lies. In the cases of these women the constable has done his duty, and the mayor lias endeavored to austain tho constable, but the council expressly declares that if Convictions are securod against these illicit houses tho constable wil) have to foot tho bill himself. It ia idlo for these men to Bay that they do not approve of paying informers. If they know anything nt all about police business they must know lhat it is practically impossible to secure convictions in such coses without the employment of informers, We have no sympathy whatever with the person who lays information for the sake of reward. Ho may he as bad ns the person whose conviction he seeks to secure; but thoso characters have to be employed sometimes against the law breaker. Does any member of the council suppose that Constable Wiggins or Constable Knight could purchase liquor in any uf those houses'/ If they cannot they must of necessity find some person who can, or how is a conviction to be reached'! The council's action simply means that they do not wish these housos to bo disturbed, and that action lias resulted in the resignation of tlio mayor and C instable Knight, it remains for tho people to say ivhothor they approve uf the course pursued by the mayor in this matter, or of the council.

Boston Uui, Sept. 25.—On Sunday iti.:)it liist ahuut 0 o'clock a small cuuoe containing 2 Indians and 1 white man. whilo crossing Fram-i* river nenr Salmon rivor capsized, drowning a Chaoumox Indian known us Captain and the white man Andrew Buchanan a railroad tie cutter, a young man of about 25 years. He is said to leavo a relative living near Clinton. The night was an extremely dark one und the river at thnt place very rapid and dangerous, which must account for tho lamentable occurrence. Both Indians and the whiteman wore quite sober nt tho time of the nccident, Indian Captain disappeared at once; Buchanan held on to the canoe for over 2 .mile's, then dropped off from sheer numbness and exposure. The Indian saved had a rope fastened to the canoe around his hand to whioh he hold on for ovor 5 miles, being then rescued by somo Indians who heard his cry for help as he passed the ninth crossing and who put out in a canoo and thus saved the poor fellow more doad than alive.

HER $30,003 CLEARS HER II USO AHD OF MURDER. Bridget Gallagher is happy now, and can boast of being t lio first woman who went from tho United States to the Queen's dominions and run a jury to suit herself. It will be remembered that Bridget and her husband went to Viotoria some time ago to reside; and after living there a whilo Bridget left her huBbnnd there to attend to busi- mntters, while Bhe camo to Portland to look after her interests hero, ' A fow days after she left hor husband, Lavin, became engaged in a drunken quarrel with a man, and in his mad frenzy Btrucic his opponent with a sand-bag, killing him. Ho was at once arrested, and Bridget was notified of tbe fact. It didn't take her- long to aot. She quietly gathered up $30,000 of her accumulated wealth, and boarding the steamer announced her intention to clear her husband if it took every cent of it. Tho manner in which her efforts iu this' direction hnve been crowned with success is a matter of supriso to evory one. Tho charge of the judgo to the jury was almost unreasonably strong, but notwithstanding that fact a verdict of "Not Guilty" was brought, which so exasperated the judge that he ordered Lavin turned loose, nnd ndvised him to sand-bag the jury, much to the amusement of Bridget, who coyishly closed one Of her eyes and remarked sotto voce that Ireland hnd made one portion of the queen's dominion very tired that she knew of.—Portland Mercury, Communications.

A Qu'Appelle correspondent of the Winnipeg Times gives a graphic account of tho celebration of tho sun- dance by Pie-a-Pot's band, near Fort Qu'Appelle, He says: The sun dance —why called I could not find out—had commenced the previous evening. The first part of the performance was the elevation of -a brave to the top of -the center-pole of the tout, where he was secured, and a fire with plenty of smoko was lit underneath. He stood this presoi-ving proceBs through the whole night. The performing.tent occupied a space away from the other tents. The-interior was fantastically decorated with elaborate barbaric art. Bight opposite the center-pole facing north a space about two feet wide was left. Tho first tier was gayly decorated with banners, flags, buffalo horns, feathers, a stuffed ermine, pictorial and moral pocket handkerchiefs, the Star- spangled banner, Union Jacks and cotton prints, all arranged in an artistic manner that would have gladdened the heart of Oscar Wilde. On approaching the oircUB you wero politely informed that if you wanted to see the show you would havo to produce 60 cents towards Pio-a-Pot's oxchoquor. Paying the fee you wero permitted to step over a poplar polo and got as good a position ns you could to witncsB the performance. Around the tiers abovo mentioned were packed as close as they could stand a row of squaws, fantastically and hideously painted, whoso office was to furnish the wind instrumental music of tho orchestra of home-made whistles, gayly painted and decorated with feathers, colored hair and ribbons. They bobbed up and down, emitting from their instruments a short, jerky whistle not at all unlike that uttered by an ungrensed axle. They presented in some oases a comical and in one noted instance a ghostly appearance. The tent inside the tiers was occupied by the drums, while squaws furnished the chorus which filled tho space towards the entrance. The orchestra, whoso leader was squatted with the drums and wielded a rattle as a baton, was in full blast when we arrived. The monotonous beat of the drums,. the screech of the jerky whistles and the wild vocal accompaniment lent to the Bceno a certain charm; more so when the low, and not unmusical, voices of the squaws came out in a solo. Tho torture had been applied to the victim just as we arrived, and the old Medicino Man was taking off the mesmeric influence with an eagle's wing. Wrapped in a blanket the victim was led to tho chief Pie-a-Pot, who lazily reclined at the opening in tho centre of tho tiers smoking, eating and drinking tea alternately. Tho noxt victim was now brought forward; his only clothing a piece of blanket wound around his waist. HiB body was smeared with a dirty wliite paint. A few of the older braves endeavored to shield him from, the vulgar gaze, while the medicine man wns performing the cutting operation. Taking a knife, two incisions of about two inches long and about half an inch apart wero made on. each breast, and a small skewer inserted thus forming a loop. The uso of the two shoganappie ropes hanging from the pole wns now nppnrent. The ertdB of these ropes were securely fns- tencd to the skewer and the victim .was. ready for the performance. The Medicino Man now waved ovor him the oagle's wing, mado passes, touched his forehead repeatedly, then, placing a' banner in each hand, gave him a shove and launched him out. Tho ropes tightened, tho flesh of the breasts extended, and the poor fellow danced wildly from side to sido, chanting some low whispered words. At last, as if weiuy, ho gave a bound and threw himself back, when the flesh gave way with a sharp crack, which could be distinctly heard above the din and clamor of tho band. There he lay extended at full length, two streams of blood flowing from the lately inflicted wounds, a ghastly sight. He was immediately taken up; the Medicino Man performed over hiin and led him to the tent polo against wliich he leaned his head for a short time, moaning all tho while. Iu a fow minutes he received his banner and was duly declared a brave. Ono bravo, braver than tho rest, was promenading around the camp dragging after him a large buffalo head fastened by raw hide strings to the fleshy part of his shoulders. Anothor was bobbing up and down with tho whistles with two cords fastened through tho muscles of the arms. It is, said that theso barbaric rites were performed upon a child of some 7 years old, on tho first opening of the dance. Neither tho orchestra nor the victims taking part in the* ceremonies are permitted food, drink or rest during tho 00 hours the dance lasts. There being no victim ready to go up when some sight-seers happened to arrive, the. frenial Pie-n-Pot got his own son, who ind already beon through tho mill, to again undergo the torture for the sum of 810. This is our boasted civilization when such scones nro permitted to bo enacted iu the, midst of ono of the finest settlements in tho territory!

The conversation that day at dinner turned on the same politics over which Dudley and Mr. Rivers had argued during luncheon. Herwald took up the subject hotly, and the talk waied lo warm, and to me tedious, that I was glad to loavo them to wrangel it out over their wine, and to go and sit on the terrace by myself. At our cosy tea-table, however, Dudley relumed the subject by asking Herwald why he did not onter into public life and stand for the next election. "The election took place, my dear boy, while you were loitering in the north; and even if it were not, I should hardly dare to do so after stringent orders from two London physicians not to do anything involving great mental or physical work for the next two or three yean." "Are you jesting, Herwaldl" "On my honor, no; what makes you think sol You know I did not Sick up as readily after that fever at airo as I ought to have dono; and then I had a replaae or two, and so Allan bothered me to go to Willis and Collins for advice before I started northward, and precious advice they have given me." "On, I dare say your estate furn- ishes you with ample employment." "My dear fellow, I beliovo you; there is not another landholder, I am sure, so plagued by his tenants; mine are so confoundedly independent; they get an idea into their heads and stick to it, and 'not all the king's horses and all the king's men' can drive the self-will from these Lancashire men." "Well improvised; poor old Herwald, these are hard lines." "Are they not!" he returned, looking very much as if he liked them. "I shall liavo lots to do during the winter; there are thorough repairs wanted in two or three of my tenants' nouses, which I shall like to superintend myself; and then there are my plans for the new schools! I am my own architect." "That's capital; I did not know yon were so clever." "Oh, I always had a taste that way, and now I shall turn it to account." "Are you building them at your own cost?" "Yes," ho said quietly, "it is a memorial; I like it, and I think he would too, better than a painted window or a grand marble monument." "Far better," we both acquiesced. "I am glad you think bo. Clivo is so pleased; the old ones are dilapidated to suoh an extent that the rain comes through on the children's heads, and in addition to that you know we work a large farm of our own; you remember I pointed it out this afternoon." "What, the one with the quaint old f[abled roof, and the low stone walls ined with holly-bushesl" "Yes, the samo. Holly-bush Farm, we call it; thore is only a bailiff in it now, but I want to put Allan in possession." "What a windfall for him! does he know of your kind intention?" "He does, but he will not hear of it, which is the moro provoking, as he has a decided taste for fanning, and is far too fine a fellow to be wasting his years in pampering the whims and fancies of a spoiled aristocrat; I ain ashamed ef myself for having him." "I wonder lie can so stand in his own light; why, the possession of a farm like that would be the making of him." "Yes, but ho says houses and lands are wasted on him, and that nothing can induce him to settle down, for it would drive liim mad." "Why so?" I asked curiously, but Herwald changed the subject abruptly, "I hope Clivo will be at the Cedars to meet you; he is a particular friend of mine; I know you will be pleased with him." "1 suppose we shall hear him tomorrow." "To bo sure; ho will conduct tho entire service, as his curate is away." "Have you many friends about here?" I inquired; "who do you consider your next-door neighbor ?" "Oh, the Traceys of Milbrook House; half-way down the hill] but as good luck will have it, thoy are away at Paris, I believe." "You don't Beam to like them." Herwald made a face of disgust. "What ia tho matter with them, pray ?" "Matter! why there are six girls and three or four boys, tho brothers only a degree more odious than their sisters; I've had to cut two or three of them rather rough, for they used to be eternally riding my horses, haunting the billiard-room, and borrowing my guns; and as they are a fast, ungentle- manly lot I did not choose to put up with it. And as for the sisters " "Well, what of them?" asked Dudley much amused. "Why, you will never believe it,': continued Herwald, growing very red: "but every one of them made love to me after a different fashion, aided and abetted by a manouvsring mothor." "This is amusing, go on," said Dudley, who, stretched full length in the satin couch, was enjoying himself mightily; "how did they set about it, and were they not handsome enougli for you." "Oh, they were well enough looking; the eldest draws beautifully, and was always talking to me of high art, and of her never-to-be-forgotten winter at Rome; the second, Lucindn, was of sentimental cut, quoted Byron and Moore, wore long ringlota, and kept an album; the third was decidedly "horsy," and wu always riding to hounds on a piebald charger; and as for the fourth and the prettiest, Flora, her sole thoughts were of balls, picnics, and junketing, a more empty-headed little butterfly never frittered life away; the two last, the twin harpists and pianists of the establishment, aa their mamma called them, alternately played or warbled Italian ditties to our supposed content; I have a vivid remembrance of their thin arms and scraggy throats at this moment." *. "What a charming family? Who are your other friends, Herwaldl" "Oh, I have hosts; there is old Dr. Mowbray, who lives in the red brick house opposite the Traeys, with his Eratty niece Sophy, she is unfortunate- j engaged to her uncle's partner, young Greaves; then come the St. Glairs, one of whose sons, Hubert, went to college with mo, and their cousins the Wflloughbys, a nice family •f girls and hoys, who have lately come to the Orange; and the Rivers, and the Wallaces, and Sir Ralph Percy, and Major Hurlstone, and lastly and best, the Veughans, once of the Orange and now of Rose Cottage." "I never beard you mention them; wha are they ?" "Arthur Vaughan ia th* best friend I bar* in Laneeshire; he and his sister, Miu Milly, to whom I moat introduce you one of these days, as Bhe is a great favorite of mine, used to live with their mother ot the Grange. There they resided in luxury; Arthur rode his own horses, went to college with me, and was to have shared my Eastern tour, when it was discovered all at once that his guardian had made ducks and drakes of his money, speculated largely, and the upshot was, that the Grange, which had been in their family for more than a hundred years, had to be sold: tho Willoughbys bought it, and tho widow and hei children retired to a little cottage that belonged to them, and Arthur, with his fine education and gentlemanly taste, was obliged to accept the post of daily tutor to the Willoughby boys, and to teach in the same house whero he had once been master. I think this broke tho mother's heart—she was a proud woman, and a Spaniard by birth—for she died about six months after their removal to Rose Cottage; so the brother and sister livo quite alone now. Come, have I gossiped sufliciently for your ladyBhipB benefit].because if I have, I will go and play." And so the innocent woman-killer, by his own account, groped his way to the organ, and soon one of Beethoven's divine symphonies floated through the room; Dudley and I followed him, and tho rest of tho evoning was spent happily in music. The next day was Sunday, and after breakfast Herwald asksd mo if I should mind a long walk to church; on my replying that I should enjoy it greatly, he Baid: "I am very glad of that, for I have a strong objection to have the horses out on Sunday; not that they are much worked, but I like Williams to go to church with his wife and children, and enjoy his day of rest as much as I do; and then I can listen to the fourth commandment with a oloar conscience, and not fancy there aro harsh commentators in the servants' pew; and now put on your bonnet, Nellie, for we will take it leisurely this lovely morning." The walk was long but exceedingly pleasant, aud I was quite sorry when we reached the church, and the minute hand of the belfry olook gave ua no excuse for lingering in the shady church-yard. Many a kindly greeting did Herwald exchange on the way with man, woman, and child; and though the rough Lancastrians never doffed er touched their caps, as southern breeding would havo taught, yet the "good- momings" wore as heartily aaid, and tho strong, powerful faces lit up pleasantly at the sight of tho young master; even the sturdy shepherds' dogs seemed to know him, and wagged thoir fag- ends of tails affectionately** he passed. Tho church was nothing particular in point of architecture, and was chioSy remarkablo' for its numerous monumental tablotB and two auperb windows, the gift of Herwald's ancestors. In spite of the glorious sunshine without, all was sombre and shady within, with a dim, religious light, and the roomy square pew into whicluHerwald inducted us, with its purple baize lining, struck me as resembling a good- Bized sarcophagus and about ob cheer- ful. High as it was, however, I bow Maud Rivers' tall figure pass into the pew opposite, rustling in Bilks and with a wreath of jasmine resting, on her satin hair, and I was just thinking in my own mind what a pity it wo* that girls noA-adaya wore flower-gardens on thoir heads instead of tho decorous church-going straw bonnets of old times, when Herwald touched my arm, and said— "That's Hubert Olive?" and raising my head, I saw a tall, fair, effeminate- looking man with hoavy-lidded eyes and a proud, weak mouth. And this was Hubert Clive, Herwald's great friend. I felt bitterly disappointed; I remembered tho minis- ter'B granito face, and Mr. Egerton's powerful head and benevolent countenance, and I felt I could never care for a clergyman who could look round on his congregation with those sleepy, half-vailed eyes. Just then the sun emerged from a passing cloud, and a host of dazzling prismatic colors from the painted window tinged his robos and circled his fair hair with a glory of violet and crimson. Herwald whispor- ed enthusiastically— "Doesn't lie look like the angel Gabriel, Nellie?" and, for all my dislike of talking in church, I could not help answoring indignantly— "Angel Ganriel, indeed, with those long, well-trimmod whiskers." I thought Herwald would have burst out laughing. Mr. Olive read the service in a singularly melodious hut monotonous voice: his enunciation was perfect, every syllable audible from one end of the church to the other, and that without the slightest effort; but the want of variation in tone, of power, of deep feeling even, were such that I would have preferred the most faulty style, if it were only combined with earnestness of manner, to his. Just snoh was the sermon. I thought of Mr. Egerton's harvest discourses and sighed. Here was a sermon faultless in composition, learned even, arguing great knowledge, of the Scriptures, rich with quotations from the fathers, prolific of godly wisdom; but oh how cold, delivered in that lifeless manner, in that measured tone! Once only did it amount to eloquence, once while speaking of "the rest that re- maineth," tho eyes opened, looking bright, dark, and vivid, and the voice rose and waxed warm and loud, carrying us along with him into realms of beautiful thought; till it broke off hastily in a way tliat was strange and abrupt, and with a low-spoken blessing, almost inaudible, tho congregation was dismissed. "What a charming discourse," said Maud Rivers, with her foot en the carriage step, as we passed, "what a superior man and scholar is eur dear Mr. Clive!" "Yes," said Herwald, "hf is a wonderful fellow," and we walked on. "Well, what do you think of him, Nellie ?" asked Herwald, as we turned into the road. The tone was so enthusiastic that I could not bear to damp it; I thought of the angel Gabriel and held my peace, hoping that Dudley would answer, but he was walking on ahead deeply pondering, perhaps of "the rest that remaineth. "Well, Bpeak out, why do you lies!- tate?" "Because I searcelyknow how to answer you; Mr. Olive's reading and sermon would have been beautiful, if it had not been so cold." Pule forks Department.
