Its character and\neffects, some of which latter form the\nsnbjeot of this clrapt' r, will make me\nremember it to the latest hour of my\nlife.\nThere was something portentous - a\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2till, surcharged air\u00E2\u0080\u0094about tho whole\nof Tuesday; the 10th of July, IS\u00E2\u0080\u0094, as\nthough nature were trembling and\ncowering beneath a common shock. In\ntlie exquisite language of one of our\nolrl dramatists, there seemed\nll fur ii t tnpest, when Itn. gaDtle a'r\nLays In r suit ' in ir rise tu tbe - rtll. In lit a\nFor Unit sin. 1 am utt,.Is un tn ravish har.\ni about eleven o'clock at noon the\nwore a lurid threatening aspect,\nFro\nsky\nthai shot awe into the behold\njesting to startled fancy the notion.\nthat within the dim confines of the\n\"laboring air,\" mischief was working to\nthe world.\nThe beat was intolerable, keeping\nalmost men-body within doors. The\nrlogs, and other cattle ill the streets,\nstood everywhere panting ami loath to\nmove Thorn was no small excitement,\nor rather agitation, diffused throughout the country, especially London; for,\nstrange to say (and many must recollect\ntho circuinstance), it had been for\nsome time confidently foretold by certain enthusiasts, religious as well as\nphilosophic, that the earth was to be\nrstroyed that very day; in short, tbat\nthe tremendous Judgment was rtf hand!\nThough not myself over credulous, or\nliven to superstitious fears, 1 own\nthat on coupling the-e fearful pre-\nlictions with the unusual, nnd almost\npreternatural aspect of tbe day, I\nmore than once experienced sudden\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2ualnis of apprehension as I rode along\non tny daily lounds. I did not so much\ncommunicate alarm to the various cir\noles I entered, as catch it from them.\nThen, again, I would occasionally pass\na silent group of passengers clustering\nround a street-preacher, who, true to\nhis vocation, \"redeeming the time,\"\nseemed by his gestures, and the disturbed countenances around bim, to lie\nforetelling all tbat was frightful. The\ntone of excitement which pervaded my\nfeelings was further heightened by a\nconversation on the prevailing topic\nwhich I had in the course of the morning with the distinguished poet and\nscholar, Mr. . With what fearful\nforce did be suggest possibilities; what\nvivid, startling coloring did he throw\nover them! It was, indeed a topic congenial to his gloomy imagination. He\ntalked to ine, in short, till my distur\nlied fancy began to realize the wildest\nchimeras.\n\"Great God, Dr. !\" said he, laying his hand suddenly on my arm, his\ngreat black eyes gleaming with mysterious awe. \"Think, only think!\nWhat if, at the moment we are talking\ntogether, a comet, whose track the\npeering eye of science has never traced\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 whose very cxistei.ee is known to\nnone but God\u00E2\u0080\u0094is winding its fiery way\ntowards our earth, swift as the lightn\ning, and with force inevitable! Is it\nat this instant dashing to fragments\nsome mighty orb that obstructed its\nprogreass, and then passing on to sards\nus disturbing system after system in its\nway? How\u00E2\u0080\u0094when will the frightful\ncrash be felt? Is its heat now bright-\ning our atmosphere? Will combustion\nfirst commence, or shall we be at once\nsplit asunder into innumerable fragments, and sent drifting through in j\nfinite space? Whither, whither shall\nwe fly? what must become of our\nSpecie*! Is tin- Scriptural Judgment\nthen coining? Oh, doctor, what if all\nihose things are really at hand?\"\nWas this imaginative raving ca'cu-\nlated to calm one's feelings! Uy the\ntime 1 reached home, late in the after\nnpon, I felt in a fever of excitement. 1\nfound au air of apprehension through\nout the whole bouse. My wife, children\nand a young lady, a visitor, were all together in tha parlor, looking out for\nine through the window anxiously, and\nwith paler faces than they perhaps were\naware of. The visitor just alluded to,\nby the way, was a Miss Agnes P ,\na girl of about twenty one, the daughter of an old friend and patient of mine.\nHer mother, a widow (wiih no other\nchild than this), resided in a village\nabout fifty miles from town, from which\nshe was cxp-ctcd, in a few days' time,\nto take her daughter back again into\nthe country. Miss P was a very\ncharming young woman. There was a\nsoftness of expression about her delicate feature tbat in my opinion con\nstitutes tbe highest style of feminine\nloveliness. Her dark, pensive, searching eyes spoke a soul full of feeling.\nThe tones of her voice, mellow and\nvarious, and her whole carriage and\ndemeanor, were in accordance witli the\nexpression of her features. In person\nshe was about the average height, and\nperfectly well molded and proportioned;\nand there was a Hebe-like ease and\ngrace about >dl her gestures. She excelled in most fciiiinliieaccoiiiplishiiients\nbut her favorite objects were music and\nromance. A more imaginative creature\nwas surely never known. It required\nall the fond and anxious survellance of\nher friends to prevent her carrying her\ntastes to excess, and becoming, in a\nmanner, unfitted for the \"dull commerce of a duller earth!\"\nNo sooner had this young lady made\nher appearance in my bouse, and given\n-oken of something like a prolonged\nstay, than I became the most popular\nman in the circle of my acquaintance.\nSuch assiduous calls ro inquire after\nmy health, and that of my family!\nSuch a multitude of men\u00E2\u0080\u0094young ones,\nto boot\u00E2\u0080\u0094and so embarrassed with a\nconsciousness of the* poorness of the\npretence that drew them to my house!\nSueh matronly inquiries from mothers\nand elderly female relatives, into the\nnature and extent of \"tweet Miss\nP \u00E2\u0080\u0094s expectations!\" Billing a for\nmer stay at my bouse, about six mouths\nbefore the period of which I am writing. Miss P surrendered her\naffections\u00E2\u0080\u0094(to the delighted surprise of\nall lu-r friends and relatives)\u00E2\u0080\u0094to the\nquietest, and perhaps worthiest of her\naiinams\u00E2\u0080\u0094a young man, then prepar\nmg for orders at. Oxford. Never, sure,\nwas rhere a greater contrast between\nthe tastes of a pledged couple, die'all\nriling, romance, enthusiasm, he serene,\nthoughtful, and matter of-fact. It\nwas most amusing to witness their occasional collisions on subjects which\ndeveloped their respective tastes and\nmalities; and interesting to note tliat\nthe effect was invariably to raise the\none in the other's estimation - as if\nach prized most the qualities of the\nither. Young N bad spent two\ndays in London\u00E2\u0080\u0094the greater portion\nof them, 1 need hardly say, at my\nlouse\u00E2\u0080\u0094about a week before the period\nof which I am writing: and he and bis\nfair mistress had disputed rather\nkeenly on the topic of general dis\ncussion\u00E2\u0080\u0094the predicted event of the\nlOtbof.July. If she did not repose\nimplicit faith in the prophecy, her belief bad, somehow or another, acquired\na most disturbing strength. He labored\nhard to disabuse her of her awful apprehensions\u00E2\u0080\u0094and she as bard to overcome his obstinate incredulity. Each\nwas a little, too eager about the matter:\nand, for the first, time since thev bad\nknown eacli otlier, tbey parted with a\nlittle coldness\u00E2\u0080\u0094y. s although he was to\nset off the next morning for Oxford I\nIn short, scarcely anything was talked\nabout by Agnes, but the coming lOtli\nof July; and if she did not anticipate\nthe actual destuction of the globe, and\nthe final judgment of mankind, she at\nleast looked forward to some event.\nmysterious and tremendous. The eloquent enthusiastic creature almost\nbrought over my placid, little, matter-\nof-fact wife to her way of thinking!\nTo return from this long digression\nwhich, however, will be presently found\nto have lieen not unnecessary. Afrer\nstaying a few minutes in her parlor, I\nretired to my library, for the purpose,\namong other things, nf making those\nentries in mv Diary, from which these\n\"passages\" are taken\u00E2\u0080\u0094but the pen lay\nuseless in my hand.

Let us here note in passing,\nthat the extension is wholly unnecessary fnr the purpose named; that there\nis plenty- of available space at Port\nMoody, and that a similar amount of\nspace at English Bay, were it anything\nequal to that obtainable at Port Moody,\nwould cost an enormous sum, such as\nwe do not think it likely the company\nhas at its di-posal. The ridiculous\nstory widely disseminated, that the\ncompany, on the strengtii of the extension, will be able to issue terminal or\nterminus bonds, and so raise the. necessary funds, is tlie merest nonsense;\nthey cannot sell their bonds of the\nentire Canadian Pacific Railway at\nanything like a favorable price, and it\nis calculating too much on the credulity\nof investors to suppose that the company could dispose of any bonds for a\nmerely speculative terminus, which is\nvery likely to be abandoned as useless.\nBut it must be remembered that by\nthe declaration of Sir Join. A. Macdonald, the company are going to construct the extension at their own cost\nand risk. That by constructing the\nadditional twelve miles of railway, tliey\nhave, or pretend to have, some advan\ntage in relation, to the Asiatic trade.\nThey consequently enter tho field as a\nprivate company, who are making u\nrailway for some possible private advantage, and must pay for their right\nof way whatever the private holders of\nthe land may ask for it; and are liable\nto taxation on lands, plant and income,\nfor the benefit of the Province. It,\nmust be clearly understood that the\nextension in no way benefits the people\nof this Province; on the contrary they\narconly being subjected to the grasping\nmonopoly which lias already made itself\nnoted as an incubus upon the people of\nCanada. Tlie water frontages that this\ncompany seeks to secure on Burrard\nInlet and English Bay, exclusive of\nthose at Port Moody, would, in the\nhands of private owners, be productive\nof employment for our people and\ntaxes for our public treasury. But\nwhat is this celebrated Canadian Pacific Railway Company going to do?\nThey have, through their arrangements\nwith our corrupt local Government,\nsecured the possession, in fee, of at\nleast six thousand acres of most valuable land at English Bay. They pur\npose to carry the extension down the\nmargin of tne Inlet, and they no doubt\nexpect by so doing, to possess themselves of all the valuable frontage from\nPort Moody to English Bay! What\nare they going to do with these: are\nthey going to build wharves and warehouses on them? Not at all. Their\ncalculation is to make a monopoly of\nthem, so that they may sell or lease\nthem at exorbitant, prices; or, failing\nwhat tbey conceive to be a proper price\nor rental, they will hold them unutilised to the exclusion of people who\nwould turn them to profitable account\non behalf of our people. We ask the\npeople of this Province if they are\ngoing to allow themselves to be gobbled\nup by a set of greedy monopolists, who\nseem to think they have a right to do\nwhat they like with us; and, because\nit suits them to make a moek extension\nin order to put money in their pockets,\nwe are to submit humbly to have a\nlarge number of our best citizens\nruined, becauso this high and mighty\ncompany choose to speculate. It is\ntrue tliat we deserve a great deal of\ntbis grievous wrong that these heartless\nmonopolists propose to intact upou us.\nWe have placed in power four men\nwho are absolutely using our own\nmoney and land in older to sell us to\nthese railway speculators. \Ve are to\nlie sold like a Hook of sheep, that these\nfour men may lie enabled to make\nsome money. We are to lio sad\ndied with a huge monopoly, iu order\ntliat these men may realize a handsome\nsum and leave us to work like galley-\nslaves, dependent on the crumbs that\nfall tn us fi <>in tbe table of the Canadian Pacific Railway company ! They\nwho rejected tin: Yellow Head pass to\ncross the Selkirk range, and wbo now\nwill have to make a detour, absolutely\nmaking the line much longer, at an\nenormous expense. They will make\nthe change at the expense of tbe people\nof (.'unrein, and we shall '\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 taxed to\npay for their misinanng'-inent and reckless adoption of a line that never should\nhavi- been chosen. We, the people of\nBritish Columbia, have given towards\nthe construction of this millstone of a\nrailway, which now bangs round our\nnecks, forty miles broad of our land\nthroughout its entire length in this\nProvince; our present valued local\nminister gave in addition three million\nfive hundred thousand acres of vidua\nble land at Peace river; we are now\npaying inequitable and burdensome\ntaxes to pay interest on the loans that\nthe present Federal Government make\nto this wonderfully fortutia'ecompany,\nwho, when we have given them our\nlands and our money to bqrld the rail\nway, take it over in perpetuity as their\nown property. Not only so, but we\ngive them funds to speculate and buy\notlier lands, which have nothing to do\nwith the original contract. Is it wonderful that tbis company believe tliat\nCanada was made for tbem? That the\npeople are only the bees in a coop to\ngather the honey for their particular\ndelectation? How otherwise, in the\nface of tho recent demand for a loan\nfrom the Dominion Parliament, would\ntliey dare to come to this Province aud\ndestroy our little enterprise by becoming particeps criminis with our corrupt\nniinisrers and make a wholly unneces\nsary extension of the railway? The\nwhole affair is so brutally heartless, so\ncompletely at variance with the commonest rules of fair play aud decency,\nthat it is perfectly revolting. It is just\npossible that the so-called ministers of\ntbe local Houso may be enabled to\nconsummate this shocking transaction:\nbut it will neither avail themselves nor\nthe monopolists that, for pecuniary\nreasons, tbey desire to serve. The\nwhole scheme, from first t.. last, will\nprove a failure, because the next local\nGovernment will upset the entire affair.\nRESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT.\nIf ever words were prostituted, they\ncertainly Jiave been iu the case of the\ntwo words at the bend of this article.\nIt is supposed tha' a government, so-\ncalled, is re ponsible to the people for\ntheir acions, and that the people's\nrepresentatives call ti.em to account\nwhen tbey do wrong. This would be\nvery wise if the representatives did\ntheir duty, but when the represr nta\nfives make common cause with the\nGovernment and accept a part of fhe\nplunder for betraying their constitu\ni-nts, who will protect tbepeopie? The\nduty in such a case falls upon the\npublic press; but when thnt, also, is\nbought by the Government, the whole\nsystem becomes a mass of corruption,\nand so far as the people are concerned,\na ridiculous farce. Having secured the\nrepresentatives and the majority of the\nnewspapers, nothing remains for the\nbogus ministers to do but to please the\nnrob. This is done in a variety of\nways: certain of tlie voters are created\nJustices of the Peace; that is, they\nhave a license to fleeco the people on\ntheir own particular account, and to\nadminister what is supposed to be the\nlaw in such a way that they can secure\ntheir own particular friends from mer\nited punishment and satisfy old grudges.\nThe whole machinery of such a government, from the highest to the lowest\noilii-inl, is vicious, because corruption\nprevails everywhere, and men otherwise honest and well-inclined, become\ninoculated with the common disease\nand are rarely able to return to an\nhonest way of gaining a livelihood afterwards; hence, the ease with which\nGovernments hire willling tools to\nhelp them in cheating the people. Respectable heads of families allow themselves to be bribed to complicity by\nthe bestowal of a place on a son or\nrelative. They see nothing but corruption everywhere, and although they do\nnot admit it to themselves, they tacitly\ncunie io the conclusion that where everybody steals they may as well have a\nshare of the general plunder, and tbey\nfeel called upon in consequence to defend the public robbery, because they\nare defending iheir own share of it,\nbeing particeps criminis. Probably the\nworst enemies the Government have\nare those they have failed to satisfy\nwith bribes. The ministers do their\nbest to buy these growlers, but failing\nthat, they detail some of the miserable\ntraitors in their pay to persecute them,\nand woe betide the growlers if they\ncan be dragged within the meshes of\nthe law, civil or criminal, they find\nthemselves reduced to beggary or disgrace; and often fail to recognise the\nhands of ministers in their affliction.\nThen come the masses: they must be\nsatisfied. This apparently is very easy;\nTHE BEST i EFFECTS.\nremedy, -or sll diseases u i i >il\nordered condition of Ike storns \u00E2\u0080\u00A2'. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nti Ayer's PO*, Ml>. ltn.lr.
