BARE, IN \" LIPMNCOTT'S MAGAZINE.\"\nCHAPTER XIH.\nYates walked merrily down the road,\nwhistling \"Gayly the Troubadour.\" Perhaps* there is no moment in a man's life\nthat he feels tbe j-iy of being alive more\nkeenly than when he goes to propose to a\ngirl of whose favorable answer he iB reasonably sure, nnless it be the moment ho walks\naway an ac -opted lover. There is a magic\nabout a June night, with its aoft velvety\nt'larknesB aud Its sweet mild air laden witb\nthe perfumes of wood and field. The enchantment of the hour threw its spall over\ntho young man, and he resolved to live a\nbetter life and be worthy of the girl he had\nchosen, or, rather, that Fate had chosen\nfor him. He paused a moment leaning\nover the fence near to the Howard homestead for he had not yet settled in his own\nmind the details of tho meeting. He would\nnot go in, for in thatoase he knew he would\nhave to talk, perhaps for hours, with every\none but tho poraou ne wished to see. If he\nannounced himself and aaked to see Mar-\nSaret alone, bis doing bo would embarrass\ner at the very bBgluntng : Yates was\nnaturally too much of a diplomat to com.\nmenoo awkwardly. As he stood there,\nwishing chance would bring ber out of the\nhouse, there appeared a light in the door*\nwindow of the room where he knew tbo\nconvalescent boy lay. Margaret's shadow\nformed a silhouette on tho blind. Yatea\ncaught up a handful of sand and flung it\nlightly against the pano. Its soft patter\nevidently attracted the attention of the\n\ufffd\ufffdirl, for after a moment's pause the win*\now opened carefully, aud Margaret step*\nped quickly out and closed it, quietly\nstanding thero.\n\"Margaret,\" whispered Yates, hardly\nabove hia breath.\nTho girl advanced towards the fence.\n\" Is that you?\" sho whispered in return,\nwith an act-cut on the last word that thrilled\nher listener. The accent told as plainly as\nspeeeh that tho word represented the ono\nman on earth to her,\n\" Yoh,\" answered Yates, springing over\ntbe fence and approaching hor.\n\"Oh 1\" cried Margaret, starting back,\nthen checking herself with a catch in her\nvoico. \" You\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdyou startled me\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMr.\nYates.\"\n\" Not Mr. Yates any more, Margaret, but\nDick. Margaret, I wanted to Bee you alone\nYou know why I have como. He tried to\ngrasp both her hands, but aho put them\nresolutely behind her, seemingly wishing to\nretreat, yet standing her ground.\n\" Margaret, you must have seen long\nago how it is with me. 1 love you, Margaret,\nloyally and truly. It seems as if I had loved\nyou all my life, I certainly havo since the\nfirst day I saw you.\"\n\"Oh, Mr. Yates, you must not talk to\nme liko this.\"\n\" My darling, how else can I talk to you ?\nIt cannot be a surprise to you, Margaret.\nYou mint havo known it long ago,\"\n\" I did not. Indeed I did not,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdif you\nreally mean it.\"\n\" Mean it ? I never meant anything aa I\nmean this. It ia everything to me, and\nnothing else is anything. I have knocked\nabout the world a good deal, 1 admit, but I\nnever was iu lovo before,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnever knew\nwhat love wi-s until I met you. I tell you\nthat \"\n\"Please, please, Mr. Yates, do not say\nanything more. If it ia really true, I cannot tell you how sorry I am. I hope nothing I have said or dono has made you believe that\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthat-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdoh, I do not kuow what\nto say. I never thought you could be in\nearnest about anything.\"\n\" You surely cannot havo so misjudged\nme, Margarot. Others have, but I did not\nexpect it of you. Youarofarandaway better\nthau I am. No one knows that better than\nI. 1 do not pretend to be worthy of you\nbut I will be a good husband to you. Any\nman who geta the love of a good woman,\ncontinued Yates, earnestly, plagiarizing\nRenmark, \" gets more than he deserves ;\nbut surely bucIi love as miue is uot given\nmerely to bo scornfully trampled under\nfoot.\"\n\"Ido not treat your-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdyou scornfully.\nI am only sorry if what you say ia true.\"\n\" Why do you aay if it is true *? Han't\nyou know it is truo ?\"\n\" Then I am vory aorry,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdvery, very\naorry, and I hope it ia through no fault of\nmine. Hut yuu will soon forget mo. When\nyou roturn to New York\t\n\" Margaret,\" said the young man, bitter*\nly, \" 1 shall never forget you. Think what\nyou are doing, bofore it ia too late. Think\nbow much thia menus to me. If you finally\nrefuae mo, you will wreck my life. 1 am\nthe Bort of man that a woman can make or\nmar. Do not, 1 beg of you, ruin the life ot\nthe man who tovea you.\"\n\" I'm uot a missionary,\" oried Margaret,\nwith sudden anger. \" If yonr life is lo be\nwrecked it will be through your own foolishness, and not from any act of mine. I\nthink it cowardly of you to say that I am to\nbe held responsible. I have no wish to influence your future one way or another.\"\n\"Not fur good, Margaret!!\"aaked Yatos,\nwith tender reproach.\n41 No. A man whoso good or bad conduct\ndepends on any one elao but himself is not\nmy ideal of a man,\"\n\"Toll mo what your ideal ia, so that I\nmay try to attain it,\"\nMargaret was silent.\n\" You think it wilt ho useless for mo to\ntry*\"\n\" As far as I am concerned, yes,\"\n\" Margaret, I want to ask you one more\nquestion. 1 have no right to, but I beg\nyou to answer me. Are you in love with\nany ono else V\n\" No,\" cried Margaret hotly. \" How\ndare you ask me sueh a question T\"\n\" Oh, it is uo: a crime,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthat is, being in\nlove with some one olso ia not. I'll loll you\nwhy I dare aak. I swear by all the gods\nthat I shall win you, if not this year, then\nnext, aud if not next, then tho year aftor,\n1 was a coward to talk as I did ; but I love\nyou more now than I did oven then.

I said ' no,' lhat\n-W meant ' yoB,' \"\nHe was standing between her and the\nwindow, so ahe could not escape by the way\nshe oamo. lie saw aho meditated flight,\nand made as though ho would intercept her\nbut she was too quick for him. She ran\naround the house, and he heard a door open\nand shut.\nHe knew ho was defeated. Dejnctedly\nhe turned to lho fence, climbing slowly\nover where he had leaped so lightly a few\nminutes before, and walked down the road,\noursing his fate. Although he admitted he\nwas a coward in talking to her as he did\nabout his wrecked life, yet he knew now\nthat every word he had spoken waa true.\nWhat did the future hold out to bim T Not\neven the incentive to live. He found himself walking towards thc tent, but, not wishing to meet Renmark in hia present frame of\nmind, he turned and came out on the Ridge\nRoad. He was tired and broken, and resolved to Btay in camp until they arrested\nhim. Then perhaps alio might have some\nJiity on him. Who was tho othor man Bhe\noved ? or had aho merely said that to give\nfinality to her refusal ? In his present mood\nhe pictured the worst, und imagined hor\nthe wife of some neighboring farmer,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdperhaps evon of Stoliker, Theae country-girls,\nho said to himself, never believed a man\nwas worth loo-king at unless he owned a\nfarm. He would save his money and buy\nup the whole neighborhood; then ahe\nwould realize what she hid missed. He\nclimbed up on a fence beside the road, and\nsat on the top rail, with his heels resting on\na lower one, so that he might enjoy his\nmisery without the fatigue of walking. HiB\nvivid imagination pictured himself aa in a\nfew years\" time the owner of a large section\nof that part of the country, with mortgages\non a good deal of the remainder, including\nthe farm owned by Margaret's husband. He\naaw her now a farmer's faded wife eoming\nto him and begging for further time in which\nto pay the seven per cent. due. He knew\nhe would act magnanimously on auoh an\noecaaion and grandly give her huaband all\nthe time he required. Perhapa then Bhe\nwould realize the mistake she had made. Or\nperhipa fame rather than riches would be his\nline. His name would ring throughout the\nland. He might beeomo a great politician\nand bankrupt Canada with a rigid tariff law.\nThe unfairness of making the whole innocent\npeople Buffer for the inconslderato aot of\none of them did not occur to him at the\nmoment, for he waa humiliated and hurt.\nThero is no bitterness like that which assails\nthe man who hai been rejected by tho girl\nhe adores,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhile it lasts. Uis eye wandered towards the black maaa of the Howard\nhouse. It was aa dark aa hia thoughts. He\nturned his head slowly around, and like a\nbright star of hope there glimmered up tho\nroad a flickering light from the Bartletta'\nparlor window. Although timo waa\ntopped aa far ai ho was concerned, ho\nwaa convinced it could not be very late,\nor thn Bartletta would have gone to\nbed. It ia always ditlicult to realize that\nthe greatest of catastrophes are generally\nover in a few minutes. It seemed an age\nBince he walked ao hopefully away from the\ntent. As ho lookod at the light the thought\nstruck him that perhaps Kitty was alone in\nthe parlor. She at least would not have\ntreated him so badly as the other girl; and\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand Bhe was pretty, too, come to think\nof it. He always did like a blonde better\nthan a brunette.\nA fence-rail a not a comfortable seat. It\nis used in some parts of the country in such\na manlier as to impress the sitter with the\nfaot of its extreme discomfort, and as a\ngentle hint that hia presence ia not wanted\nin that immediate neighborhood; Yatea recollected this with a smile aa he slid off and\nstumbled into the ditch by tho side of the\nroad. Hia mind had heen bo preoccupied\nthat ho had forgotten about the ditch. Ab\nhe walked along the road towards the star\nthat guided him, he remembered he had\nrecklessly offered Mils Kitty to tho callous\nprofeaaor, After all, no one knew about the\nepisode of a short time before except himself and Margaret, and he felt convinced\nsho waa not a girl to boast of her conquests.\nAnyhow, it didn't matter. A man is aurely\nmaster of himself.\nAs he neared the window he looked in.\nPeople are not particular about lowering\nthe blind in the country. He was rather\ndisappointed to see Mrs. Bartlett sitting there knittintr, like the industrious\nwoman sho waa. Still, it waa consoling\nto note that none of tho men-folks\nwere present, and that Kitty, with her\nUnify hair half concealing hor face,sat reading a book he had lent to her. He rapped\nat thedoor,and it waa oponed by Mra. Bartlett with aome surprise.\n\"For the land's aake, ia that yon, Mr.\nYates V\n\"It is.\"\n\"Come right in. Why, what's the matter\nwith you? You look as if you had lost\nyour best friend. Ah, I see how It isolates started :\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd''you have run out of pro*\nviaiona, and are very likely aa hungry aa a\nbear.\"\n\"You've hit it first time, Mra. Bartlett*\n1 dropped around to see i*' I could borrow a\nloaf of bread. We don't bake till to-morrow.\"\nMrs. Bartlett laughed.\n\" Nice baking you would do if you tried\nit. I'll get you a loaf in a minute. Are you\nsure one is enough ?\"\n\" Quite enough, thank you.\"\nThe good woman bustled out to the other\nroom for tho loaf, and Yates made good use\nof her temporary absence.\n\" Kilty, he whispered, \" I want to see\nyou alone for a few minutes. I'll wait for\nyou at the gate. Can you slip out ?!'\nKitty blushed very red and nodded.\n'' They have a warrant out for my arrest,\nand I'm off to-morrow before they can serve\nit. But I couldn't eo without seeing you.\nYou'll eome, sure ?'r\nAgain Kitty nodded, after looking up at\nhim in alarm when he spoko of tho warrant,\nBeforo anything further could be aaid, Mra.\nBartlett camo in, and Kitty was absorbed\niu hor book,\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Won't you havo something to eat now\nbeforo you go back ?\"\n\" Oh, no, thank you, Mra, Bartlett. You\naee, tho profesaor is waiting for me,\"\n\" Let him wait, if hu didn't have sense\nenough to come.\"\n\" He didn't, I offered him the chance.\"\n\" It won't take us a moment to set the\ntable. It is not the least trouble.\"\n\" Really, Mrs, Bartlett, you ure very\nkind. I am not In the slightest degree\nhungry now. I am merely taking some\nthought of the morrow. No ; I muat he\ngoing, and thank you very much.\"\n\" Well,\" said Mra. Bartlett, aeeing him\nto the door, \"if thero's anything you want,\ncome to me, and I will let you have it if it's\nin the house.\"\n\" You are too good to me,\" Bald\nyoung man, with genuine feeling, \" and I\ndon't deservo it ; but I may remind you of\nyour promise\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto-morrow,\"\n\"See that'youdo,\"ahe answered. \"Goodnight,\"\nYatea waited at the gate, placing tho loaf\non the post, whero he forgot it, muoh\nto tho aatoniahment of the donor in\nthe morning. He did not have to wait\nlong, for Kilty came around the houae\nsomewhat shrinkingly, as one who was\ndoing the most wicked thing thab had beon\ndone since the world began. Yates hasten*\ned to meet hor, clasping one of her unresisting hands in his.\n\"1 muat be olf to-morrow,\" ho began.\n\"I am very Borry,\" anawered Kitty, in\na whisper.\n\"Ah, Kitty, you are not half ao aorry as\nI am. But I intend to oome back, If you\nwill let me. Kitty, remember that talk we\nhad in the kitchen when we\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhen there\nwas an interruption, and when I hnd to go\naway with our friend Stoliker?\"\nKitty indicated that she. remembered it.\n\"Woll, of course you know what I wanted to say to you. Of course you know what\nI want to say to you now.\"\nIt seemed, however, that in this be was\nmistaken, for Kitty had not the slightest\nIdea, and wanted to go into the house, lor\nit was late, and her mother would miss\nher.\n\"Kitty, you darling litlle humbug, you\nknow that I lovo you. You muat know that\nI have loved you ever aince the firat day I\naaw you, when you laughed at me. Kitty,\nI want you to marry me and make something of me, if that is possible. I am a\nworthless fellow, not half good enough for\na little pet like you, but Kitty, if you will\nonly aay yes,I will try, and try hard, to be\na better man than I have ever been beforo.\"\nKitty did not say \" yes,\" but she placed\nher disengaged hand warm and Boft upon\nhia, and Yatea waa uot the man to havo any\nhesitation aliout what to do next. To practical people it may seem an astonishing\nthing that tha object of the interview being\nhappily accomplished iherc should bo nny\nneed of prolonging it, yet the two lingered\nthere, and he told her much of his past life,\nand of how lonely and sordid it had been\nbecause ho had no one to cure for him,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdab\nwhioh hor pretty eyes filled with tears. Sho\nfelt proud and happy to think she hud won\ntho first great love of a talented man's life,\nand hoped ahe wonld make him happy and\nin a measure atono for tho emptiness of the\nlife that had gone before, Sho prayed that\nhe might always be as font! of her aa he was\nthen, and resolved to he worthy of him if\nshe could. Strange to auy, her wishea were\namply f ufiltod.and few wives are as happy or\naa proud of their husbanda as Kitty Bartlett\nthat was. The one woman who might havo\nput the drop of bitterness in her cup of life\nmerely kissed her tenderly when Kitty told\nher of the great joy that had come to her,\nand aaid she was sure she would be happy ;\nand thua for the second time Margaret told\nthe thing that waa not, bub for once Margaret was wrong in her fears.\nYates walked to the tent a glorified man,\nleaving bis loaf on the gate-post behind him.\nFew realize that it is quite aa pleasant to\nbe loved aa to love. The verb \" to love\"\nhas many conjugations. The earth he trod\nwas like no other ground he had ever\nwalked upon. Tho magic of the June\nnight was never ao enohanting before. He\nwalked with his head and his thoughts in\nthe clouds, and the Providence that cares\nfor the intoxicated looked after him ai:d\naaw that the accepted lover came to no\nharm. He leaped the fence without even\nputting hia hand to it, and then was brought\nto earth again by the picture of a man sitting with hia head in his handa beside a\ndying fire.\n(TO UK CONTINUKD).\nTHE LOWELL MEMORIAL\nUemarkable Rpeech by the America.. Am\nbHM-ider,\nThe following speech by Mr. Bayard, the\nUnited States Ambassador to London.made\nat the unveiling of the memorial to James\nRussell Lowell in the Chapter Houae of\nWestminster Abbey ia well worth reproducing in full i\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\n\"1 hold myself happy in that'.I have been\npermitted to be in the Chanter House of\nWestminster Abbey when, for the second\ntime, the namo of an American ia inscribed\nin thia double sanctuary of religion and re*\nnown\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe bust of Longfellow, and now tbo\nmemorial of his brother poet, both from\nour own kindred beyond the sea. The\nforma of these two gifted sons of America\nare clasped in the bosom of the laud of their\nbirth ; their ashes rest in peace at home,\nbut tho echoes of their fame have boen\nwafted across the Atlantic, and they fall\nin the clear and musical notes upon the\nloving ears of two countries whoso people\nspeak the same tongue, Longfellow and\nLowell, here in Westminster Abbey in\nblended fellowship, are worthy companions\not that band who sung with Wordsworth,\nand who gave us nobler love and nobler\ncares,\n\" I am imable'in the few'words permittad\nme to attempt a portraiture of Lowell,\nHappily, thia is needless, owing to the eloquent address of Mr. Stephen, whioh ia especially grateful to myself and my compatriots, and which will be received thus by\nthe country whoue son is its subject. It ia\nn strong saying that * blood is thicker than\nwater.'\n\"Kvery day proves how the tiea of common origin aud ancestry are stronger than\nwritten treaties. The inborn sympathies of\nrs.ee finally silence international diacord and\njealousy.

But eight years since the voice of\nLowell was again heard in these precincts\nwhen the bust of Coleridge, the gift of\nAmericans, was unveiled. I am glad that\nthia mark of honor to my dear countryman\nwaa erected bo Boon after his death. The\nreproach of long delay, often just, cannot\nbe made here nor can be applied the words\nof Johnston:\nSoo tbo Nations slowlr wis o nnd meanly just,\nTo burled merit slowly raise the tardy bust,\n\"For hore brotherhood in letters and kind*\nred spirits hasten to give buried merit a\njuat memorial.

Some horaea will face a railway\nengine, or a steam roller, for instance, who\nwill nearly go into fits over a bib of paper\nin tbe road. One animal that 1 occasionally\nride will pay no attention to paper, blowing\nrubbish, bicycles, or even baby carriages,\nthe bete noir of moat shyera, but let a hen\nappear, and ahe will make a flying leap to\nthe opposite side of the road. Some horses,\nagain, who will scarcely wink when a\ncracker is thrown under their feet, can\nnever pasa a pile of brush, or even the\nbroken branch of a tree by the roadside,\nwithout making a little fuss over it. The\naight of a pig will cause almost any horse\nto shy. They seom lo entertain a natural\nantipathy for tbe grunting rooters. When\nan animal haa a habit of shying at some\nparticular object, and not at others, it is\ngenerally because at aome time or other\nhurt or fright baa come to them from that\nsort of object.\nThe majority of inexperienced drivers\npunish a horso tor shying. This never\ndoea any good. In general, ahying is duo\nto dcfeclivo eyesight. It is obvious lhat\nfiunlahment will not remedy this. The\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdest thing to do ia to lemove a horso's\nblinders, if your harness carries these dis*\ngraceful adjuncts, and give him a chance\nto see clearly. If you note the symptoms\nof alarm in time, aud the watchful driver\ncan usually do this, distract the horse's attention by speaking encouragingly to him,\nand, if necessary, by two or three sharp\ntaps with the whip, administered before,\nnover after, tho object is pasaed. I have\naeen drivers punish a horae after the animal haa summoned all hia courage and gone\nby the object of his fright. What tlio\ncreature needs, then is encouragement and\npraise, for he had done rightand not wrong.\nLet him havo a chance to learn tho harmless-\nness of the feared object. If you can get\nhim to go up to and smell it, his fear is usually conquered,\nI once drove a bad shyer, who not only\nshied violently at every strange object, bub\nwould make a rush after each offence, showing that she was accustomed to being punished for them. I adopted the plan of making her go atraight up to every object she\nshowed fear of, causing her to smell it, even\nto put her foot in it it possible. As a result,\nit was not long before she learned that nothing could hurt her ; that she bad not even\nthe whip to dread \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd and she overcame her\nnervous fears. The bhing to do is never to\nleta horso turn back from anything he fears.\nQet him past it in some way, by coaxing or\ndriving, in an extreme caae it may be necessary to lead bim, though thia ia to be deprecated, but get him past ib, and that, too,\nab a slow rate of speed. Never let him rush\nby anything he Ib afraid of. If quiet firmness in using theae methoda doea not eauao\na change for the better it is because bhe\nanimals sight is defective, and all tlm*. can\nbe done is to note the presence in the road\nof objects that his faulty vision may clothe\nwith terror, and be on your guard.\nBolting is another ell oc t of poor or defective sight. Sometimes an animal who\nhaa for yeara been a model of steadiness will\nsuddenly take this trick. There is always\na phyaical reason for it in suoh cases. The\nhorse sees, or fancies he sees, something\nbeforo him, and bolts to avoid it, A veterinary surgeon should be called in at once,\nand the horse's eyes given attention. Over\nor under feeding, or aome trouble in digestion, may set up such defeot in vision.\nRearing ia always a dangerous habit.\nFortunately it is rare. Horses sometimes\ndo it iu playfulness or impatience to be off,\nand aome riders teach their mounts to rear\nfor the purpose of showing off. Really\nwicked roaring, however, is aa dangerous\nas it is rare, A woman should avoid such\na mount. Tight check-straps to tho bridle,\nand a running martingale on the reina are\nabout the only preventives, although\nthrowing a horse whenever he attempts the\ntrick will usually effect a cure after a few\ntrials, A confirmed rearer, however, ia a\nspoiled horae.\nKicking is the most dangerous of all\ntricks, more dangerous than evon running\naway. If you are on the kicker's back you\nare in danger of taking a cropper over hiB\nhead, while if you are behind him in a\nvehicle your chances of escaping injury are\nindeed small.\nIf you are riding a kicker keep tho\nanimal'.-* head up ani apply the whip\nstrongly to his shoulders. If driving pull\nup sharply on one rein, twisting bis head\nto one side, To break up the lilok, buckle\nas tout collar around the paatcrn point of ono\nfore-leg. To thia have attached a stout\ncord passing up through the turret of the\nsaddle, on tho same side, and thence toyonr\nhand. At the first laying buck of the ears,\nswitching of the tail, or othet premonitory\nsymptoms that thero \"ia a kick coming,\"\njerk up the forefoot by means of tho rope\nand let the animal go on three legs for a\nfew paces. He won't like this, and will\nremember tho lesion wheu ho again feels\nlike kicking.\nLying down ia a trick of poniea. In well\nbred unimuls it is an indention that something is wrong. A saddle-horse will some-\ntimes throw himself down if the girth is\ntoo tight. I rode one a few daya ago who\nabtemptcd to Ho down as soon aa I had\ndismounted, I pulled him up, hastily\nloosened the girth, and there wus no mote\ntrouble. In this caso the animal was just\nout of paaturo, and had not been saddled\nfor mon tha.\nShouldering is usually mischievous,\nrather than vicious. I remember a pony\nwhich nover failed to shoulder olf a certain\nplaymate of mine who sometime.*- mouu\ned her. Tho process consists in rubbing\nlho leg of a rider againat a wall or tree,\nto the imminent danger of breaking a bone.\nSonic horsea, when iu the atable, have the\ntrick of shouldering an attendant against\ntho manger, and so nearly crushing him.\nVoung horses will do thia iu play. Horses\nwhich havo been made vicious by ill treatment often do it for revenge. If caught in\ntho atall by a shouldering horae the only\nthing lo do ia to kick his kneea and pinch\nhia ii'ise, which will cause him to retreat.\nYour Btrongth will avail you nothing against\nhis. If mounted on the offender you cun\nreadily defeat hia object by turning hia head\nto tho wall, instead of from it,\nRunning away la dangerous in a crowded\nthoroughfare, und somo horses scorn to go\ncrazy whon they run, uud will often\ndmili hoadlong against obstructions iu lheir\npathway. When a horae Btarts running tho\nquickest und inoab effectual way to stop\nhim is to pull first one rein, theu the other,\nsawing his head from sido to aide. This has\ntho effect of confusing him bo that ha cannot\nrun. About the only other advice to ho\ngiven ia to keep cool and don't desert thc\nship. Stay in the vehiclo or on tho saddle.\nYou uro safer there than in jumping. It ia\nworthy of noto in passing that a large percentage of our runaways occur through accidents to tbo bridle, whoroby tho blinders\nthat usually cover a horae'a eyes fall, or\nbecome ao far unadjusted as to permit the\nanimal to seo tho vehicle behind bim. It\nfrightens him. Ho runs to esoape it. It\npursues him, and he fleoa in a mad frenzy.\nThe rider may be hurt or killed. Tho horso\nis effectually ruined.\nThe out-of-door vicca of horaea,liko thoao\ntho animala contract in the stable, aro\nalmost invariably traceable to physical\ncauacs. They are duo to auch, whether\ntraoeablo or nol.and may usually be helped,\nif not entirely cured, by kindness, gentle\nfirmness, and common sense on thc part of\nrider or driver.\nCANADA AND JAMAICA-\nlDterc.-l-'iilut Traile Hten-Ul** lucrea*. n\ufffd\ufffd -\nA Sew Cable Wanted.\nTho Jamaica Gleaner of a recent date\nhaa the following :\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdCanada has long foreseen the value of a direct cable to the Weat\nIndies, whilo the Weat Indies themselves\nhave settled that aooner or later auoh a line\nmust bu established. We have never ceased to point out the seemingly irremediable\ndefects in the present service and to urge\nupon the legislatures of the various coloniea\nand the Imperial authorities, the necessity\nof supporting the project to extend the\ncable from Bermuda lo Turks island and\nthence to Jamaica. The Halifax and Bermuda company have been promised the\ncordial co-operation of the British coloniea,\nin all of whioh the extension is regarded as\nan undertaking of the greatest importance.\nThe Imperial Government, however, have\ntreated the mutter in the aame Bupine spirit\nwhich haa loat themthe oompletecontrolof\ntbe Pactific Cable, and we now aee it atated\nthat the Company areaodiaguated with their\ndilatoriness and indifference that they are\nnegotiating with tho French Weat India\nCompany to run the lino from Bermuda to\nSan Domingo\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda proposal which, it ia\ncertain, will bo eagerly acceptod, uot only\nas one likely to further the commercial\ninterests of that Island bub also aa frustrating ihe scheme for a British cable touching\nonly on British aoil. Wo aro not aware\nwhether thia roport be truo or not but\nthere ia sullicient significance in the more\nsuggestion to awaken tho Imperial Government to a sense of the risk it is running in\nrefusing to render that legitimate assistance\nto tho Company which, in the oircumatan-\nceB, ia necoasaryand which would result in\nreciprocal benefits of the moat important\ncharacter.\nApart from what may bo termed Imperial\npurposes euch a cable would bo of great\nvalue iu developing the commercial interests\nof the colonies. \"There can be littledoubt\"\nBays the Times \"that the development of\ncommunications .does stimulate as woll as\nfollow trade,\" We hnve only to look to the\nprogress made in our trade with the Dominion to find an illustration ofthe statement.\nIn spite of the great and successful rival\ntrade routo bo the United States; in apibe\nof the fact that telegraphic communication\nia kept up at high rates with New York\nand London and New York and London prices are alone despatched, the\ngooda of Canada -ire steadily gaining\nground in the West India markets owing to\nincreased steamship facilities and they\nwould be pushed to a muoh greater extent\nwere the two countries in closer telegraphic\nconnection. This is the patriotic view\nwhich is happily not incompatible with the\nexistence ot mutually advantageous commercial relations. And equally with the\nImperial authorities it is our duty to look\nto the future and provide aa far aa possible\nagainat the day of international hostilities\nwhen existing friendly areas of supply and\nconsumption may be olosed. Such a contingency may never arise, and all will wish\nthat it may long be averted, bub the possibility exists and Bhould not be altogether\nignored. Markets within the Empire should\nbe opened up and where they already exist\nshould be fostered as much aa possible.\nConterminous with the United States lies\nan immense extent of county peopled with\nour own kith and kin debarred\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdunlike its\nneighbor\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdfrom growing tho products ot\nthe tropica.

Enough\nlead was by thia means mingled with the\nflour to produce symptoms of lead-poisoning.\nIn another case a defective millstone bad\nbeen \" plugged \" *\ufffd\ufffd ith white lead. In tbe\nprocess of grinding, a gradual distribution\nof the lead took place, with similarly dan*\ngeroua results,\nA writer in the Medical News has described caaca of load-poisoning which occurred from the ignorant uae of chomate of\nlead for lho purpose of coloring cakes\nyellow.\nThe symptoms most commonly resulting\niu those instances wore colic, constipation,\ntremor of the limbs, pallor, muscular wait*\ning, neuralgia and similar \"nervoua \" disturbances.\nSuch cases point to the fact that the\nhabitual absorption of evon a amall quantity\nof impure matter may produce muoh tho\naamo harm aa would be cauaod by a large\ndoso of poison taken at one timo. They\nshow that danger may arise from the most\nunexpected sources, and emphasize the\nneed of continual care.\nTho writer recalls a case in point. A\npractitioner was called to attend an elderly\ngentleman), whom he found suffering with\nrecognized symptoms of lead-poisoning. Ho\nalone of the members of the household waa\nthe victim of the disorder, and the doctor\nwas at a loss to account for the fact.\nIn the search for the causo, be discovered\nthat the cook waa in the habit of preparing\na particular dish of oatmeal for thia patient's\nbreakfast, and in all innocence had uaed\nfor it the water which waa firat drawn from\nthe pipes.

Occasionally\none hears of a sudden death, but there are\nmany, many victims to the habit of whom\nwe never hear. The sudden death a fow\nweeks ago of an aotresa of some noto waa\ndue, il waa proved by post-mortem examination, to synlole, a contraction of the arteries of the heart caused by pressure of\nwhalebone. Now, it has not been the\nfashion recently, aa it waa some yeara ago,\nto bo wasp-waislcd, but there are some\nsigns that this useless folly will be in vogue\nagain among brainlaas girla und women, and\nthia in spit a of all that has been Baid and\nwritten and studied by thousands of scholars in public and private schools. There\nisn't a girl of fifteen now-a-days who attenda\nschool, at least the majcrity of schooia, who\ndoea not know that the working capacity\nof tho heart ia diminished and thc circulation of the blood impeded by any tight band\ncr bandage about, tho waist, whether\nit be a corset, a corselet, a belt or a\nti3.1t bodice, and yet pretty nearly every\ngirl who aspires to wear fashionable\nclothes commits this henioua folly,\n\"A perfect fit\" seems to bo the chief desideratum of some women's lives, and a\n\"perfect fit\" thoy will havo even if it endangers their lives'. In fact, a bodice is\nnew fashioned like a mold, and the human\nbody must look as if it had been poured into\nit like jelly or it will not s.iit. It is a well-\nknown fact that most fashionable women\ncannot lunch with auy comfort owing to\nthe tightness of thoir basques and bodices,\nand lhat if lhey do manage to eat a satisfactory luncheon they must retire to a\ndrcsaing-room to undo their bodices or\nloosen their coresta to assist digestion and\nrelieve the Strain on tho syatem. One\noften sees flushed faces and reddened\nnoses in faahionahlo restaurants, but they\nalmost invariably belong to fashionable,\ntight-laced owners who havo been lunching\nor dining.\nThe cheat ahould be clothed in garments\nloose enough to allow of its full expansion,\naud surely no eorscl that is a corset can be\nsaid to meet this requirement. In a matter\nof corsets but few women will tell the strict\ntruth, Hid j ou ever know a woman who\nwould admit that she waa a tight-lacor!\nWill not almost every woman declare that\nyou could put the thickness of both your\nhands between hor waist and corset, bo\n(loosely ia it laced.\nWomen breathe almost, entirely from the\nupper part of their lungs, the lower part\nbeiu-j compressed more or loss by corset,\nbaud, belt or bodice, whon lhey should\ninflate the lower and middlo portion of the\nJ lungs as well us the upper. It is, in fact,\nj almost; impossible for thc avoraeo woman to\n1] hrcalhe properly habitually. Tight lacing\n\" ia dangerous in the extreme, because it\ncompresses tlie moat important vital organs,\nand weakens all tho muaclea permanently\nth.it come under its prcasurc. It is a known\n.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAct lhat certain organs, for instance, tho\nliver aud the spleen, show grooves caused\nby tbe pressure of the ribs and the sharp extremity of the breast bone, Corsets exert\ntwo pressures, an upward and a downward\npressure. The upward pressure causes stagnation of blood in tho heart and lungs and\nofton in tho brain, nipeoialty dangerous to\ntho stout, and the downward pressure\naffecting organs less aloBcly adherent,\nfrequently produces displacements and\ndeformities'. Sodeclares a good authority,\nand the writer agrees with him iu every\nparticular. It is claimed, and justly, that\ntho coldness uf the oxlremilics, especially\nlhe feet, of which so many women complain,\nis duo largely to lho abnormal accumulation\nof blood within tho region compressed by\nlhe corset, causing a deficiency elsewhere\nand impeding circulation.\nTo conclude, Ihero aro somo very\ndisagreeable effects of light lacing; they are\nredness of the nose and hands, Hush ng of\nthe face and a general feeling of uncaiBiuesi\nand discomfort, Yet thero aro but fow\nwomen who will not run thu risk of tho\nfirst and Buffer lhe last in order to havo a\nporfect litting costume. If grown women\nwill uot reform iu Ibis matter, tot the\nwriter beg of them to defer putting corsets\ncu their dauuhters until those (laughters\niiayo attained their growth and full\n1 pJiysical development.

Thia paper ia kept\non file in hia offlco.\nW-adflBBday, Jan. 17,1894\nIn lookin**,' over our honks we find that\nmany of our subscribers are in ;-n*ears,\nsome of tliein for many months. Newspapers can not be run on credit, and we\nmust urge .ill who know themselves to\nbe indebted to us to at once forward the\namount.\nRailroad to Union.\nThe last session of the present legislative term commences tomorrow and we\nlook to it to encourage the e\ufffd\ufffdtention of\nthe Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway as\nfar north as Seymour Narrows. A subsidy ofa rersonnble amount should be\ngiven for every mile built and operated.\nThe Dominion government should and\ndoubtless will allow the usual amount of\n$3,200 per mile. With this aid the road\nwould certaintly be built without any un*\nnessecary delay as far as Union wharf,\nconnecting there with the road already in\noperation to Union. Comox vallev could\nthen be accomodated wilh a station *it\nTrent River y\/i mites from Courtenay.\nThis would stimulate business and settlement throughout the valley, so that in\nthe course of .1 few more years ihe com*\npan*, would be justified in extending the\n|lne up to Campbell River. The remarks\nof the Premier at Nanaimo lead us to believe that lie is favorable to government\nuid to such an enterprise. Surely if it is\njustified elsewhere, where It has been grant\ned, ii certaintly would be here. Here is\na farming section second in importance\nto none on the island. Its developed\ncoal measures are next in extent 10 those\nnl Nanaimo and its undeveloped wealth\nin this direction probably the greatest on\nthe island. Much of ils best timber is\nback from the .-aier and which such a\nroad would make an outlet for. As a\ncolonization scheme also it is well worth\nencouragement. There is no field more\npromisingfor settlers, once the railroad is\nbuilt, and no section of ibe province will\nbetter justify the outlay. Too long this\nregion with its vast natural resources has\nbeen held in the grip of isolation, and it\nis high lime it received its share of attention and encouragement.\nIt is much better that a responsible\nhome company should be encouraged to\nbuild this extention than that farther\ntime should lie wasted in negotiations\nwith irresponsible torcign promoters.\nThe Esquimau and Nanaimo Ry, Co. is\nbest situated to undertakers enterprise.\nIt is true that lhey loose something like\n$80,000 per annum by operating their\nroad from Victoria to Wellington! but a\nlonger road can be proportionably more\ncheaply run. ami the Company would\ngain considerable in the opening up and\nBale of its own lands. The public would\nalso be greatly benefited and this vast\nbell of railway hind now lying idle would\nbecome populated, and of course alienated and tax producing so thai the government would in a few years become financially the gainer,\nSmall Men.\nLooking over the political field sn far\nas provincial affairs are concerned, the\nfirst and most conpicuous fenturcobserv*\nable is the small calibre of the men in the\nfront ranks ofthe Independent, socnllcd,\nor Opposition party,\nAt New Westminster, Mission city,\nNanaimo or wherever public meetings\nhave been held at which the Premier has\nappeared, tbe contest lias been altogether\na onc sided affair, The speeches of Mr.\nDavie have been consistent, vigorous,\nwell sustained efforts, full of information\nfind well supported by facts; those ofthe\ngentlemen who have opposed him have\nbeen weak, scattering, whining and tide*\nous. One is impelled to ask, even if opposed to the government, if the affairs of\nthis Province can safely be entrusted to\nsuch underlines. There is not one a-\nmong the whole number, who have\nspoken at any of these meetings\nin opposition to the government, who\nhas shown himself to be possessed of\neven respectable mediocrity. Were it\nnot for a press much abler than these\nmouthing politicians, the whole opposition in the pending campaign would sink\nbeneath contempt. This appears to be\ntbe general opinion of disinterested on\nlookers, without regard to the merits\nof tbe contest.\n5 g >\nt 5 s*\n9 0 3\n3 p a\ngSB3\"\nP\nn\nen\ncr. en\nCO\n5'\nto\n2,\np.\n*-**>\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\n0\nC\/q\ntn\nPREMIUMS\nS3\nJO tB-\nO i-3\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd0 .-*>\nH M\n-. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd*-**\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\npo te-l\no -**\np\nc\nz\n6\n_z\npo\no\na\no\n73\nn\no \ufffd\ufffd\nc g\nto 8-\na>\n73\nP\no-\nU*\n-1\n0\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI\n0\nO\n-t\n0\nP\nn\n0\nn\nn\na\n*-\nr\/j\nn\nCl\nB\nti\n-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ncrq\nft\n\ufffd\ufffd***\nEsquimalt and Nanaimo Ry.\nSteamer Join\nJ.
