I lite ^ritisli €ohnnbiim. L WcflnrMiliiy Morning, Jiuiitm-y as, Emigration and Immigration. Thero is evnry prospeot of a very I large emigration from the mother country to Canada during next sum- I met*. Amongst the various factors contributing to this result the tour of tlit* Marquis of Lome through the ' North-West and his subsequent visit I to tin Old Country will not he the [least. A recant cablegram to the Itf/ofie announces a new movement in ■this direction. It states in effect [that the Archbishop of Canterbury f has issued a letter to the clergymen I of the Church of England on the j subject of emigration. The clerical ■ societies are arranging for a series of E handbooks containing information I with regard to the principal colonies, j Those relating to Canada will bo I ready in a few days. If tho Church liin Canada co-operates with its breth- I ron," much good must accrue to tho 1 Dominion. The London office of the | Canadian Government is in receipt I of a large number of enquiries for f information respecting Canada. It [adds that there is every prospect of [a large and valuable emigration to I Canada* setting iu during the present lyear. As a province of the Domin- lion, British Columbia 1ms a general E interest in tlie subject. But there is la sense in which wo have a special rinterest. Two decades of waiting for 1 population without any appreciable [result should convince overy think I ing person that it is not to the sea [Columbia must look for population. I It was expected that the inauguration lof our large railway works would [have been the signal for a stamjtede r of British subjects scattered through- I out United States possessions ou the I Pacific slope, many of whom wore [supposed to bo longing to return to [the old flag; hut these expectations [ have, to a very great extent at least, I been disappointed. More than ever [we are convinced that no great ao I cession need be expected to the pop- I illation of the province until such Itime as it can come overland through ■ Canadian territory; and that can ■only be expected as the result of tlm Ifilling up of tho great North-west ■and the creation of facile commuui- Ication between it and our own province. Looking at the mutter from hbhis point of view, British Columbia mist watch with special interest raver j movement having for its object ■the filling up of the regions beyond plw Ilocky Mountain ujHlTtt uttaira- ble class of^ijojifdation, as it is from Kne^am'imuuitics created tfver there khat we must expect chiefly to people pur own waiting acres. It is with [that view, too, that we look with so (much anxiety for the completion of fche Canadian Pacific Railway. Canada's Northwest Senator Back, of the United [States, has been paying a visit to lour great Northwest, and he has the 'courage to tell hia countrymen some unpalatable truths about it and pos- laibilities connected with it. He |says : I went to Winnipeg last summer, land there saw a thriving city of 15,000 ■people, with a railroad about finished Ito Lake Superior. It was being pushed Irith great energy and abundant means ■west to the Pacific Ocean, to roach the ■trade of Australia, China, Japan and ■the Indies on English soil, with cheap [ships ready to furnish free goods for [transportation over this continent to ■.Europe, I went west of Winnipeg ■nearly t*t\\o hundred miles on that road »nd saw thousands and thousands of _ tores of wheat, clearing forty bushels Ito thi acre, weighing sixty-three and Jixty-five pounds to the bushel, and was assured on undoubted authority Uiat on Peace River, 1,200 miles north- treat of where I was, wheat was being Iiroduced in immense quantity equal lo the bust I saw in Winnipeg, while great herds of cattle wero being' fed, •rithout cost, on as line grassy land us I lit world affords. Iu short, between j)iir northwest lino of 41)° and 54° 40' ■General Cass' fighting point), there is 1 country owned by England with greater grain and stock-growing capacity than all the lauds on the Baltic, Iho Black Sea and the Mediterranean fcombined. The laud laws of Canada Ire now as liberal as ours as to tho ftomestead preemption and free claims. Tcople are crowding there rapidly and British Columbian. VOLUME 21 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1882. NUMBER 7 towns are springing up as if by magic. Their great railway will reach tlie Pacific at the grand harbor of Pugst •Sound before our Northern Pacific will, and it will be extended eastward promptly to Montreal. The distance to Liverpool will be 600 miles shorter than any American line can get the wheat of Dakota there. The best steel rails are being placed on the road, 100 tons to the mile, at 856 per ton, while nn our parallel line of the Northern Pacific like rails (protected) cost about $70—81,400 a mile in rails alone in favor of tho Canada-rat-ilk*. American protectionists not only tell English statesmen, but denounce all of ub who do not urge that policy, that it is their duty to protect Canadian products against- American competition in England. I assert, without fear of successful contradiction, that if England takes tlieir advice, and, in order to have "fair, trade" and protect home industries, shall impose a tariff tax of ten or twenty cantB por bushel upon American wheat snd other grains, allowing Canadian wheat and other products to enter hor ports free, she can bankrupt tho farmers of our Northwest. She can, by a like discrimina tion as to beef, pork, butter, cheese and other farm products, cripple, if not ruin, our farmers all over the country, because it is too apparent to need argument that, with our vast railroad svstem and the agricultural lauds dereluped by it, our own penplu cannot consume what our farmers produce. France and Germany are moving rapidly in the direction urged by Ameiioati protectionists, and there is building up a party in England which is pressing warmly tho same views as are held by American protectionists. The lauded ariitocrncy of England is at the back of this party, and in thoir greed, the advocates ot this policy may yet succeed in overthrowing and destroying the agricultural interests and prosperity of tlieir country* No nation can find fault with even a high revenue tariff at our Custom Houses. We havo come out of a great civil war; we are burdenod with an enormous debt which wo are struggling to pay. That effort commends itself to all nations and they do not seek to retaliate because uf restrictions on their commerce imposed by us to obtain money to sustain our eroded and develop our resources; but when they see a numerous and influential body of men maintaining a policy of actual protection and restriction merely to enrich a class of men at home, thoy may well pursue the siune policy, and justify it by the position maintained here.

A petition praying for a resilient Judge has been very generally signed in this community within the past few duys. Tlie people may pray till they are black in the face. What care the Government I What care the Judges'I The three Judges ami the Premior have been wrangling for the last teiwluys over the important question as to whether the former are federal or provincial officers. Their conduct for some time past would lead one to conclude that thoy were neither—that they wore above and independent of both. Between the Premier's bad laws and the apparent determination of tho Judges to stick to Victoria, the country is left in a lamentable plight iu so far as the administration of justice is concerned. County Court was to have been held here in December; but, through the attorney-genera l's blundering, the assizes were held the same week, and the inferior court had to give way. It was to have been held last week, but was again postponed in order that the important ami dignified controversy- between the Judges and the attorney-general should not be interrupted. Unless something else should intervene, it may reasonably be expected to be held to-day. But even if County Court were hold regularly every month, that does not. meet the wants of the community. There "are constantly arising cases involving legal processes wliich cannot be earned out without a Judge, and the consequence is that suitors and witnesses must make an expensive journey to Victoria in order to hunt up a Judge. But tho Judge will tell us that it isi-ctter so—that a Judge should not enjoy even nodding acquaintance with those amongst whom he is called to administer.*justice; What about Victoria, then, with three Judges huddled together in it] But seriously, this matter ought to bo brought before the federal authorities in a way that will secure practical action. Should it bo found that the present Judges would really prefer resignation to attention to duties which would necessitate absence from Victoria, why we suppose "there are just as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it." It appears to us that there is altogether too much consideration for tlie esprit de corps and personal comfort and convenience of the Judges and tlie Ministers, and too littlo for the people by and for whom they exist. The public interest should be the paramount, governing consideration, to which personal interests should ever yield. But here we have three Judges und threo Ministers, every one Victorians —altogether too, too, too Victorian —and it is like drawing teeth to get any one of them to leave home oven for the most important duties. Editorial Notes. It is earnestly to be hoped that the Dominion Government may seo its way clear to adopt such measures in connection with tho railway contract about to be given out for the portion of the lino between this city and Emory as will at least operate as a dia- couragoment to tho employment of Chinesb labor thereon, Although any restriction of the naturo indicated might enhance the cost of labor in the first instance, wo feel confident that the Dominion would gain by it in the long run and in the higher souse, by causing the railway expenditures to contribute the more largely towards the settling up and development of the surpassingly rich agricultural lands on the Lower Fraser. Indeed there can be little doubt that the result of tho employment of none but free white labor upon theso works would be more satisfactory even to the contractors themselves. enter into the change is very problematical at tho present time. That a judiciously arranged basis, enabling a friendly interchange of commodities, would prove advantageous toboth countries goes without talking, and that such an arrangement has not been come to long ago must bo attributed, in part at least, to shortsighted jealousy—chiefly existing to tho south of tho 49th parallel of latitude. Tho Judicature Act was tho solitary exception, tho one redeeming featuro which relieved the monotony of Walk- em's bad law-making. Lot all the rest go. Lot tho Judges knock tho bottoms out of them. This one brings glory enough to make up for all. Does it? Thoro would appear to bo a fair prospect of its turning out tho worst of a b-id lot. Constitutionally and consequentially it threatens to work no ond of confusion aud mischief. The Attorney-General pleads for it as for an only child, but all tho Judges sooni to bo perfectly convinced that the Act aud all the machinery for working it must be kicked out of Court—consigned to that limbo where all Walk- em's laws go. It would be interesting to know how much Columbia has lost through the present Attorney-General's bungling in law and oemont—in refusing to treat with Edgar and in fighting Canada. Wo verily believe, could it all be reduced to figures, it would foot up more than two years' revenue. Walltem lias truly been a dear littlo premier for British Columbia. Thero is every probability of the customs tariff of the United. States being handed over to a commission for revision, and it is not at all improbable that the revision will tend in the direction of lighter duties. Tho present tariff ia protective ill design; but had it not boon for the war, which rendered a largo income necessary, the rates would never have boen put as high as they are. The conditions calling for extreme rates having, to a great extent disappeared, tho way is open for reduction, and it seems likely that a material reduction may be the result of revision.

Come at Last! —Sheriff Morrison received, last evening, the Writ for the federal election iu this District, The nomination will, therefore, probably take place in ton or twelve days —eight days from posting of notices, ■♦ Population,— The total area of settlement in the United States, exclusive of Alaska, is estimated at 1,- 500,570 square miles, which would give 32 as the average number of inhabitants to the square mile. What room for more! 1 ! -*- ! A Tough of Winter.—The weather has taken a wintry turn lately. Towards thu end of last week snow fell at the upper settlements in this District, where it is several inches deop. Yesterday it tried to snow down here, but without much success. On the 2nd inst., the Hon. A. C Elliott, late Premier of British Columbia, had an interview with Sir John A. Macdonald. It was rumored that Mr. Elliott would receive the appointment to the Judgeship rendered vacant by the death of Mr. Justice Robert- sun. The Winnipeg Land Boom.—A correspondent of the. Globe says tho excitement in the real-estate market in Winnipeg is simply indescribable; Lots on Main strcut sell for §000 a foot frontage, and tlie inflation is not considered as having reached the dangerous point yet. Nova Suotia has a sensation; The Provincial Government had mado a bargain with a Syndicate for taking over all the railways, and the terms were to be kept secret till tlio thing could bo sprilng oh tlie House. The terms have got out and the public mind is very indignant. Soiree.--Amusements havo been made fur holding a social or soirecf'kt Prairie Sclm.il-llnuso, back, of Langley, on tho 111 it inst., the financial object being to provide fur extra sauting of the sdhool-houso,"in consideration of its being used as \\\\ eluu'uli by tho various denominations. Anti-Oiusese Association.—On tho 12th inst, articles of incorporation of the "Boot anil Slioemakora' While Labor League" were tiled in San Francisco. 'Hie corporation is funned for benevolent purposes and to assist in discouraging the importation of Chinese coolies into California. HuM.i.uTioy.—The lath inst. was observed in Ireland as a day of humiliation. Special sermons were preached in the established churches, rud prayers making reference to thu disturbed condition of tho country were offered. Twenty thousand copies of the form of service were sold iu Dublin. The Hyack Company has, it is understood, made a now departure, and it is to be hoped that the organization will ba at once placed on a "war footing," so to speak—prep-mid to make war against the "fire fiend/' should ho invade our city. What the people de- siro to feel assured of is the thorough efficiency uf tho department. .». Land Monopoly,—The "Lund Corporation of Canada,1' formed in London, with a distinguished directorate, will hold uiio million acres from tho C. P.

Insley, returned from Yale nnd way-pnrt-i un Monday evening, bringing 3!l passengers, 14 head of cattle, and a considerable quantity uf freight. Amongst the passengers was H. .1. Cambie, Esq., of tho C. P. K. S. The water is very, low and freight had to be lightered over Murderer's Bar on tho way up. Oiiiniwk is Australia.—Less than a year ago the Australians were complaining of the influx of Chinese. Lord Augustus Loffcus, Governor of New South" Wales, in cloning Parliament' recently, said that the law restricting Chinese immigration had "attained its object without injustice to tho Chinese residents, and without prejudice to the commercial interests of tho Colony." St. Ann's Convent. — To-mormw evening, at the Skating Rink in this city, will bo held a musioial concert, for tho benefit of the Sisters of St. Ann. Judging from the amount of musical talent secured and the completeness of tho arrangements, we foul confident that a rich treat is iu store for those who may go. The admission foe is only 50 cts. and reserved seats can be secured at tho Rink between the hours of 12 and 4 to-day, without any extra charge. "Vindex.'*—We must decline publication, Whilo aware of all tho disgusting details of the case rufored to, no notice was taken of it for reasona which at least commend thwnselve* to our own judgment. Wo havo no intention uf "covering up social evils,'1 believing with you that such a course "only tends to their ranker growth." And yet there are occasions when reticence is justifiable, and we conceive the caBo; in the Police Court to which your communication moro immediately refers to be one of them; but yon may dismiss from your mind the idea that consideration for the culprit was our mntivo for silence. It was con-' sideratioh 'for tho innocent, The Funeral.—Tlie remains of J. K. ' Locklmrt, wno died at Moodville on Sunday last, were brought over to this city yesterday,' accompanied by four coachos filled with Borrowing friends. Tho body was taken to tho Masonic Lodge, and from thenco to the cemetery, followed by a large number of citizens in addition to those from the Inlet, making altogether a large cortege. Tho funeral was con- dncted with Masonic honors, deceased having been a member of that order. Police Maoistiute.—Having long advocated the appointment of a Police Magistrate for this city, wo havo now the satisfaction of congratulating the community upon, tho, selection which has just boen mado. Mr. Bole's legal training and lung experience in the Police Court eminently qualify him for tho position, and we think tho corporation fortunate in being able to command his services. We take it for granted, however, that the appoint-, rnent involves no charge upon the city revenue! Through the Deep at Railway Spekd.—A scheme is in course of development in New York to put on ft line of steamers between that port and Millford Haven, taking possongers from the former place oh Monday and setting them down iu London on Saturday. These swift .vessels will cost from a million tu a million and a quarter each. T'hoy will bo for express aud first class passengers only, and are in tended to bo to the ocean what the railway fast express train and Pullman cars are to the land travel, Hvack Company. — On Saturday evening last an adjourned meeting of tho Hyack Company was held at tlieir Hall, for the purpose of electing officers for the present year. In tho absence of the Captain, 2nd Lieiitou ant MoMurphy took tho Chair. Tho following officers were elected ;-*-Captain, John MoMurphy, Jun,; 1st Lieut., Win. McCnll; 2nd Limit., John Reid; 1st Ihanclnunii, Geo. Toriibull; 2nd Branchman, Edward Minkey; 3rd Branchinan, Henry Keary; Secretary nnd Steward, John McMurphy. .» The Oppressed Israelites.— The London Observer says it is understood the archbishop of Canterbury^ Cardinal Manning, Earl of Shaftesbury, Dean Bradley and Canons Lyndon and Farrar are in communication with each other on tho scheme for organizing a conference or committee wijh a view of calling public meetings throughout the country tu raise funds for tlio relief of hotuuless Jewish families in Russia and facilitate their immigration. A prominent Israelite has volunteered to" head the subscription list with £10,000 and considers £1,- 000,000 to bo necessary to carry out the project. NluoLA.—On the 10th January a most promising *■ lecture course was begun at tho Church in Nicola Valley. Rev. Mr. Chappcll occupied tho chair. Tho lecturer was John Clapporton, Esq. For about an hour ho held the audience iu growing hit crest with'a narrative uf tlie trials and 'success of Golnmbus, so that when theclosocame all regretted that it was done. After the lecture, Mr. Gillie recited with very good effect "T/hufato nf M.icGre- gor." A vote of ttianks, moved by Mr, Howes and seconded by Mr, Ar- initagu, was presented to the lecturer. The attendance was unexpectedly large —Quilshannoiis Nowiaesean, Forks of Coldwafcr, and from the solitary cabins of the Mountains. Receipts, $20.50, to go towards purchasing an organ for the Church. This opening of the course may ho voted a decided success. Coastino.—For somo days tho boys in this city havo been having lively sport with thoir coasting sleds un Mary street hill. Of course there have been lots of "spills,'' and one cannot help wondering that there have been no serious accidents. On Satur- •day--morning some of tho. sleds ran into Dr. Trew's fenceTrim Dr. Mclmioa' fence, doing cousiduraulo damage to tho fences, but strange to say, none to the coasters. Fence owners object to this sort of thing. The public generally havo been willing to submit to considerable inconvenience, in order that tho boys may enjoy their sport; but such utter rucklessuess as has recently been displayed by the coasters, or sumo of them, should be checked by tho puliee. The danger of serious accident to tho boys themselves constitutes sufficient ground for placing some degree of restraint upon these proceedings, Siill Tin*) Come. Now subscriptions to the British Columbian are coming iu from'tho interior at a rate which is highly gratifying to the publishera, affording evidence that our efforts to give thu people of this Province a live paper, independent and uiitspukeu on all subjects, are nut unappreciated. There are still a few old subscriptions remaining unpaid, and these wo should bo very glad to receive as soon as possible. The City Council Proceedings There was, we arc informed, a very large audience at the Council Chamber on Monday evening, aud wo aro told that the proceedings, as a whole, wero not of a character to impress the auditory with the idea that our civic legislature is very well v.p iu parliamentary practices. Cue who was present and "took notes" has been kind enough to send to tho Columman a description id tho proceedings, but wo cannot see that any good end Would bo attained hy its publication. Looking at the minutes, it would apponr to have been the intention to rescind a resolution passed at tho previous meeting, directing tlio Mayor in the matter of certain licenses. We cannot say that the rescinding of tlaxt resolution would bo opon to objection. However well meant, wo incline to tho opinion that it was a mistake, arising from misapprehension as tu the Mayor's duties and powers as Police Magistrate. If, however, it wus the intention of tho Council to rescind the resolution in question, there has, we think, been a failure to do so. The only resolution touching tho point was ono for recoil siderathm Ou that tho Council went into committee of the'whole. The committee rose, and the chairman reported to the Council the following resolution:— "That this Council simply take no action whatever in tho matter of Ei- censos." \\n order tu give effect lo this resolution the Council ought to have adopted tho report of the committee; but it appears that they did nothing, mado no disposition of it whatever; so that it can be of no force or effect, But not only is tho above quoted resolution innocuous. The resolution which it was intended to rescind is still alive and iu force as much as ever it wa.i. To reconsider and to rescind are two different matters, and there appears tu havo been no motion to rescind. Tho whole thing would seem to bo in a "glorious muddle." BY TELEGRAPH! EXCLUSIVE DESPATCHES TO THE COLUMBIAN. Yale, Jan. 24.—Tho weather for the past week has been tine and all kind of work on the It. R. has boon progressing favorably. There aro about 000 men working from Camp G to Camp 13. The trestling.at Sailor Bluff will probably be finished this week and tho bottom taken up in the Big Tunnel iu about n month. Work ou the steamer is boing pushed rapidly. The frame is all set and the carpenters commenced planking hor to-day. The slight snow fall of yesterday and to-day has improved the roads and will enable tlio contractor to get out a large quantity of bridge timbers now lying in the woods.

The .Marquis of Lome. Since his return to England the Marquis of Lome has greatly pleased those who know Mm. His sojourn in Canada appears to have impioved him considerably both in bearing aud as a public speaker. Miss Olive Logan, tho sprightly American correspondent in London, recently wrote of his appear- anon as nn after dinner speaker:—"The young Sctch noble has greatly changed since he luft t liesu shores to assume.the vice-royalty of the domain to the north of us. His bearing nt that time was that of a shy, aristocratic, almost frigid youthful noble, whose only conception of a fine manlier in an essentially cold and iininipassioncdune. Now, pa my word, he seems like an American 'of ours.' He is jovial, hearty, oil' hand—I bad almost written slap-dash. Tho Princess seemed to take the greatest pride iu bis success as a speaker, and gave him many loving smiles of approval as be expatiated on tlie evils ofsmoko." Absolutely Noiseless.

The light- running Wanner C is simple, silent, swift, strong and sure, compact, capacious, convenient aud novel,—a model of perfection in its mechanism; a model of simplicity iu principle, a model of superiority in workmanship, a model of beauty iu design aud finish, a model uf all the cardinal virtues of a thoroughly first-class machine.

WITHOUT KNOWING IT. (Concluded.) " Yon areangry! You think me mean!" "No, Cora, only *« thought I whs mean! You fancied I would buy you with four hundred pounds—buy your body, that is, and call it wife, to ait beside my hearth and eall mo husband with its human voice, whilo the soul was far away in dreamland seeking an impossible hero! Look up, Cora! don't cry!''—his voice was very soft nnd gentle now—"lam thirty-seven; you are eighteen—too young to giv« your love, except to a gallant youth of twenty-two! I shall leave you my address. When he comes your way, and asks you to be his bride, let me know, and I will send you a wedding- present!" and then he stopped back out of tho summer-house, raised his hat, and was gone. Cora felt sure of the four hundred pounds. She was free to wait for the beautiful fairy prince of twenty-two summers to come that way. She was not bound to give duty and obedience whore sho could not give love; but yet, for all that, it seemed to hor that a grave Had opened at her feet, and that all her earthly happiness was auddenly cast into it, while tho brightness and beauty of the world seemed blotted out forever. Cora sought out her father, and told him everything. "What, a good, noble fellow!" was his first exclamation; and then came doubts and misgivings. "Suppose he should be a' revengeful traitor, angry at not winning Cora's love? suppose he wrote to Mr. Chester, who owned the mills, and told him that thb manager was a, cheat? suppose " But (DoH did not join in these fears.; sho was not a bit astonished when tho post brought the cheque ttie next afternoon, signed in Mr, Wood's name; there was also a card, with an address printod oft it—"Mr. C. Wood, Pvin- tanier, near Lausanne, Switzerland." "Abt-then he hat gone to Switzerland; he must he richer than he says," thought Mr. Rodwell; but he said nothing to Cora. The money was paid into the concern, and everything went on smoothly. Cora was no longer troubled by the importunities of a lover nineteen years older than, herself. Her father was free to save hit money to pay off the debt to the absent louder as he liked, for Mr, Wood had returned tho acknowledgment which Mr. Rodwoll eent him, saying that he never would rob Miss Rodwell of her dowry, and that Mr. Rodwoll was to save up four hundred pounds as quickly as ho could, and give it to hit daughter on her wedding with the happy hero of her fancy. These were Mr. Wood's words. Cora ought to have felt happy now, but she did not. As day followed day she hoped to get rid of the strange, dull yearning that filled her heart. She thought only of one dark face, with its sombre eyes, and sad yet bright and mocking smile; nnd that voice down deep in hor heart which had asked that question respecting Charles Wood—-"Is he not a hero 1"—now had grown dogmatic and persistent in its assertions that the overseer at the manor had been, and was, a hero noble as any redcross night of yore, who had ridden out to battle, with his lady's glove on the point of his lance and a lock of her hair lying next his heart. A hero!—a hero who filled all Cora's waking thoughts and visited her in dreams by night, always with that same sad, bitter, iweet smile ou his moust-aehed lip, and with mingled pain, and scorn, and pitying tenderness in the deop tones of his voice. As time went on Cora grew large- eyed and palo; her parents looked at each other and wondered what ailed their darling. They consulted a doctor, who prescribed change of air and lively society; so the mother and daughter packed up their clothes nnd started one fine day for the picturesque town of Malvern, some forty miles distant. It was now late autumn, and the boarding-houses were not so full as they had been earlier in the year. Three singlo gentlemen and two married couples, one of whom had with them two grown-up daughters, completed the party that would ait down to dinner that day. Cora listened in apathy to all that Mrs. Ruf us, tho landlady of the boarding-house, told her about her hoarders. When she was alone with her mother, changing her dress for th* six o'clock dinner, Mrs. Rodwell said, with a laugh: "Now, Cora, make yourself as charming as you can; who knows but you may meet your hero of romance this evening?" "It is impossible," said Cora, passionately. "Oh! mother, I once held a jewel in my hand. I thought the diamond a piece of bottle glass because it was not cut and polished so brightly as I fancied it should have been, and I cast it into tho son." Cora steod before a large choval- §lass; she was clothed in a long white raising-gown; her beautiful black hair streamed on her shoulders, for she had been brushing it out. Her young face, pale and thoughtful, her dark eyes filled with a melancholy light, struck her mother painfully. Mrs. Rodwell was a loving- hearted, but a practical woman, and she addressed to her romantic daughter a few words which she deemed eloquent of the soundest common sense, "Cora," she said, "your mind is so full of dreams and fancies that homely duties are irksome to you, and home- truths smite upon you like unkind blows. Yet, my child, you must listen to reason. Some time since n good man offered you his honest love. Because he was not like a waxen head in a hairdresser's, yon thought you could not love him; he took you at your word, and went away. Since then you have found out that he was a hero, «nd you spend your time in fretting over spilt milk. I don't like to soe yon standing there, making despairing speeches, with your hair all down, as if you were Ophelia, or some such un- comfortAble girl. Do bind it up, my dArling, and put on your nice prune velveteen, and a flower, And some white law, and you will be as protty u eitHer of the other young ladies at the table. Eat a good dinner, talk nnd laugh; there ave othtr good follow! in the world—quite as good as your lost hero." Cora's nature was gentle; she obeyed her mother, and appeared At the board' ing-house dinner-table, looking beau, tiful and delicate. She quite fascinated a certain Captain Oliver—a dashing, handsome young officer of twenty-five, who, on recovering from a fever caught at Alderahot, had been sent by his doctor to benefit by the air of the Malvern hills and the tonie of the Malvern waters. Captain Oliver was in a crack regiment; he was the second son of a great county family in the Midlands; he was quite beautiful, with fair curling hair, blue bright eyes, and classic features; he was six feet high, full of dash, and sparkle, and gaiety. Young ns he was he had seen the world, and he thought that he knew it. He paid Cora a dozen compliments, and begged to be allowed to be her escort the next day, when the whole party were to ride to some picturesque spot in the neighborhood. Cora seemed pleased with tho captain. As the days went on she talked moro, laughed more, ate more. Her mother began to have hopes of her. One stormy, cold evening the boarders were all gathered round the tire, playing cards, laughing, talking, making merry, when u stranger was announced, who was going to take his coffee with the others. A stranger ? No. "Mr. Wood!" said the landlady. Cora looked up from the game sho was playing, and there stood her lost hero. How the beautiful blond captain turned us by magic into a tiresome, silly schoolboy when seen side by side with the bronzed, handsome, quiet, thoughtful man of more than thirty-sevon yoars old. Greetings passed between Cora and the man she had refusd. His manner was kindly but cold—very cold; and as the days went on he sat apart aud did not seem to watch her or the attentive captain, For his part, ho was equally attentive to all the other young ladies; but he spent a great deal of time in his own room. Cora's heart burned within her. One morning she came earlier than usual into the breakfast-room, and there sat Mr. Wood writing a letter. Ho looked up and Bmiled at her sadly. Thou he rose, and advanced to meet her with outstretched hand. "You remember our bargain ?''he Baid. "Whenever you met ypur hero I was to make you a wedding-present!" "But I have not met my hero!" "Not the gallant captain VJ "Oh! no; he is nothing to me— nothing!" Her voice shook; there were tears in hor eyes. Mr. Wood's face worked. "You look sad! You havo been disappointed—some other hero!" He looked at her. Their eyes met. The truth dawned on him. ''What does this mean ?" he asked huskily, "It means—oh, that I was an idiot; that I did not know ray heart; that now I know it, when—when it is too late; that the truest, noblest hero once offered me his precious love; that 1 refused it, like a child who flings a jewel into the sea; that now—now— when it is too late " Her voice was brokeu by sobs. "Not too late!" said Mr. Wood, in a voice that shook mere than her own. "My darling, will you be a poor man's wife / My heart has lain at your foot from the first moment I met you!" His arm encircled her. Their lips met. Cora uttered a low cry of joy. "A poor man's wife?" said Charles. "In a garret with you!" was the passionate reply. ***** They were wed soon—so soon that the Rodwell parents who came to the wedding, which took place at Malvern, were a little atartled at the haste of the arrangements. "We shall go over to Paris for a week," said Mr. Wood, the day before the wedding, to Mr. Rodwell, "and then we shall come to Lonsdale." Cora spent a blissful week in Paris with her husband, and then, since she had no will save his, she prepared to accompany him to Lonsdale. "Mr. John Chester is about to return with his bride to tho manor- house," said Mr. Wood to Cora. "Tho house is beautiful now! I mean to introduce you to him nnd his bride." "Oh, I shall bo afraid of her!" said Cora. "A fine lady!" "You will not be at all afraid of her!" "You know her then ?" "Slightly." They started for England that night, arrived in London, and spent tho next day in a pleasant, quiet hotel. "We must go on to Lonsdale to-day," said Cora's husband. "Mr. Chester has given us rooms in a corner of the manor-house for tho present; there is still one wing to decorate." "I shall be better pleased, darling, when we have a house of our own," aaid Cora, wistfully. Her husband stopped further speech with n kiss. The next afternoon was a fine, bright one, though the month was November. The bride and bridegroom got into a cab at the station, aud were driven through by-laneB to the gates of the manor-house. These flew open, and the lodge-keeper doffed his cap and shouted hurra! ' "How fond these people seem of you, darling!'' aaid Cora. Arrived at the house, Cora was amazed to aca the entrance-door wide opon and a crowd of servants in the hall. Like one in a dream her husband led her through the bowing ranks. "Before anything I must introduce you to Mrs. Chester," aaid Mr. Wood. She mounted the wide staircase still like one in a dream, and was led into. a magnificent bed-chamber. At tho further end an enormous mirror was set in tho carven walnut wood of the panelled wall. Straight up to this the bridegroom led the bride; then he pointed to the slender figuro in the blue velvet travelling coat. "That is Mrs, John Chester," said he—"the mistress of the manor-house; and that is John, christened Charles John, and called Charles during the maniage aorvice. As for tho certificate, you were so agitated that, if you remember, I guided your hand when yoii wrote your name, and you did not notice it; but I feared then the secret would have come out, I am not at all a poor man, darling, but I had a romantic whim: it was the desire to be married for myself, not fer the sake of the manor-house. Now that you have seen Mrs. 0. J. Chester, Are you afraid of her?"1 T. R.
