Why should a newspaper l>e expected to hum the prnlsos of Tom, Dick und Harry without remuneriitloii. NOW that the huul <tf tho campaign is over, we can att'ord to "give the- devil his due." There Is no further Inducement to lie nbont things generally. The Voxl-lttlflii- gencer's business principles predominated over Its Hepulilleiuiisin in the support 'if Vorhees.hui It isugniiil noivspnpor. nevertheless,— Whatcom Hevellle. We very distinctly nnd emphatically protest against the doctrine contained in the- foregoing statement. It is not true thut a newspaper has a right to sell its columns to tlie highest bidder, uny more than a representative of the people lias to sell his vote and influence for personal gain. To embrace and practice such a doctrine would bo to sweep away all honor and moral sentiment from the fabric uf our politioul institutions. The columns of a public journal should always bo open to tliose who desire in proper language to express their views on questions which affect the public welfare. In tliis sense a newspaper is public property very much in the same way that a member of parliament is the mouthpiece or servant of the people. Between the newspaper and tlie representative there is this difference: the representative is bound to represent the will of the people; while the newspaper may represent tho opinion only of its manager, and that may be in direct conflict with the public will or good. '1 he newspaper conducted on tl)c -o lines, however, becomes a personal organ and ceases to beapublv jnul-tial -uud it will very soon cease to exist. The advertising a lunms of a public journal are tin only part of it whicli may properly be sold to tho highest bidder. The man who advertises becomes responsible for the utterances of his advertisement, nlM-nngh tlir publisher lias both a and legal responsibility as well. A libelous advertisement makes the publisher liable at law and .there are some things which no respectable publish^ would admit even as an advertisement. But whatever doubts may exist in some minds respecting these departments, we cannot see now it is possiblo to admit the Revet V* assumption respecting the editorial columns of a newspaper. The sentiments uttered therein must be the truo sentiments of the paper, or they must be a del lerute uttempt at deceive the publi for the publishers personal gain. In litjr words, if u newspaper accepts ] ay in consideration of its advocating that of which it does not approve, it prostitutes its position tis a public journal, and is equally guilty with the representative who makes use of his official position for his owu personal advantage. It will not do to say that people may take tlie newspaper or stop it as they seo fit. People may voto for or against h parliamentary candidate, but if lie he elected lie will of necessity become the representative of those who voted against liim as well as his own supporters. Ho a newspaper is accepted generally as a representative of tho community where it is published, and its opinions are supposed In be honest. Wo are quite sure the ■Seattle Posl-Inti'llhjcncer is uot conducted upon such principles as are put forward by the Reveille, and we honestly suspect that the Reveille itself does not allow its opinions lo bo purchased iu the way it assumes to defend as legitimate. 1884-18S5. During the year just closed, the world has seon many changes, but it will not be known in history as u year of trreat events. As tho world grows older wo are able to predict with greater precision the probabilities of the future, and make timely provision for contingencies. .Science puts into our hands appliances which fortell the approach of tempest and flood, earthquake antl many of the other disasters which continually threaten us. As the rod of iron shields us from the ligh* lung's deadly stroke, so various inventions and discoveries throw about us protection from* other destructive elements of nature nnd art, The world is ever progressing towards that state of perfect knowledge which it is destined never to reach; but although man's genius has for ages striven to surround the human body with safeguards wliich would make it invulnerable, it may be doubted if tho appliances for man's protection have more than kept pace with tliose intended for his destruction. During the year 1884 tliere have been wars and rumors of war. In Egypt, in China, in South America, in Northern and Southern Africu, aud on the island of Madagascar, the sound of armed conflict has been heard. But the wars of 1884- are insignificant and without event compared to those of some years preceding. The most notable military movements have been the rebellion in Egypt and the French invasion of Tonquin. In neither case has any great buttle been fought, and the fortunes of war have been doubtful. All eyes are at the present moment looking towards Khartoum, where Gen, Gordon is supposed to be still defending himself successfully against the hosts of tho Mahdi. The horrors of war have been much less than the ravages of cholera. It should be a cause of profound gratitude that the plague has not been allowed to spread its deadly influence beyond Europe. This has been to a great extent accomplished through the excellence of the quarantine regulations and the ability of medical science to interpose barriers over which it is not easy for the disease to pass. It is believed, however, that the plugue will revive with returning spring in Europe, and that it will probably reach this continent next summer. Wo can only hope that it may not. The geography of Europe remains tho same, and there is ho change in its political complexion. In Russia they are fighting nihilism; in France aud Germany it is communism; in Britain, fenianism. Politically, Europe still rests "upon a powder magazine whioh may at any moment go ot!'. The powers are armed and watching each other with jealousy, suspicion or hatred. The discoveries in Africa, that term incognita, have been most important during the year. It bus been demonstrated beyond a doubt that the heart of the dark continent embraces vast regions where agricultural wealth is found surrounded with almost every comfort und luxury necessary to make life happy and prosperous. These regions are capable of enormous development, and at the present moment civilized Europe is bitterly disputing over the partition of uncivilized Africu. America has seen no physical changes during the your, hut the political changes havo boen important. The presidential election in tho United States resulted in defeating the republican party and placing a democratic president in the white house. The changes involved in this event are far reaching, and may exercise a very important influence upon the future trade policy of lids continent. It is believed there will be a strong attempt made iu the United States house of representatives to modify materially the present tarrilf, and wo hope the attempt will be successful. If it be so, tho effect will be felt in this country, and Canadian customs regulations will undergo modification also. This is a much- needed reform. Our customs duties uro absolutely too high, and the burdens they impose are beyond all reason. From the commercial distress which has been pxpe :ien ' in many lands this Canada-of our. •not escaped. From all parts ■>. he country the cry of distress comt.3 up; but no part of the Dominion has experienced less embnrrassment in this respect than Britisli Columbia. In this province the past year has boon one of extraordinary progress and development, and the new year is full of promise. Our population has been steadily and rapidly increasing- and our industries havo been materially widened. The population of this district has received nil increase of probably -■*> per cent. During the year the groat Canadian Pacific Railway, which is to connect US with the busy world beyond, has made rapid marches towards completion. Trains are now running from Port Moody to Savona, nnd the gap which remains to complete the road across the mountains is becoming smaller and smaller and beautifully less. There is little doubt but this year will see the eon- sum mn tion of our fondly cherished hopes—when British Columbia will enter the railway union of the continent. The completion of the national highway will undoubtedly givo a very great impetus to the growth of this province. It will bring settlers and manufacturers and capitalists. The establishment of a. large foreign shipping interest at Burrard Inlot will stimulate permanent growth and invito permanent investment. A large city wil) undoubtedly spring up at tho terminus, and the whole inlet from English Bay to Port Moody will become valuable property. Thero is no province in Canada where the prospects are brighter than tliose of British Columbia at the present moment. Let us hope that.no commercial disaster may come to blight these prospects before we have been able to seize nnd appropriate the golden fruit of our patient expectations Dominion License Act, NEW WESTMINSTER DISTRIOT. mHK LICENSING C0UI1T .Hindu ml- J. louruou till Tliiirsiliiy, thb aoth rlny ot Mrurh, lSSJi, ill 11 ir'otnclc II. 111.

On New Year's Day two lots of cattle were driven across the river at this city on the ice. The province of Quebec is scarcely -ever without a cabinet scandal. It is a bad lot altogether. Orders at the Puget Sound lumber mills are reported slack, and the mills aro working un short time again. Work on the Nanainio-Eaquimnlt Railway has been temporarily suspended on account of the extreme cold. And still we have no police court to report. The total absence of crime during tho past woek is very remarkable. A letter from Mr. Geo. Ashwell has been so long on its way from Chilliwhack that the matter is now too old for news. John Smith died at Victoria last week. He leaves a great cloud of relatives, numbering away up among the thousands. The ice bridge between this oity and Brownville remains in good condition, and both nteu and horses have gono over on it. The loss of the French Treasury on the Paris Exhibition, held in 1878, is officially announced as huving been $0,331,055. The Victoria Colonist issues a very interesting number for New Year's day.

On Thursday Mr. W. U. Austin's horso went through also. Both animals wore rescued.' It was supposed that tho thermometer had reached bed rock hist week, but it went down again this week to 2 below zero! For the past two days it hu been raining, and there is evory prospect of a breakup. The American schooner Hustler waa driven ashore at Cadboro Bay last week and wrecked. All hands escaped, but a lady passenger who was on board remained on a rook about 5 hours until rescued by the str. Enterprise.

Sharon says o will appeal. We have to acknowledge the receipt of the Viotoria Standard's calendar for 1885, nnd she's a daisy. For originality in design nnd .blending of colors we have never before seen anything more wonderful. When it has served a useful career an a calendar it might be passed off as one of Cnpt.

Aocurding to the utterances of our local cotem. thore is no controversy between us with respect to railway connection. Wo are glad of this. Our fosition has been very clearly defined. t is that connection bo made on purely commercial grounds, no matter where the junction mny, come. We are absolutely opposed to railway connection with either Port Moody or Coal Harbor, unless one of these places is considered the best commercial junction, and wo ate glad there is no contrary opinion..

In sudden attacks of cold, croup, asthma, etc., Ayer's Cherry Pectoral will prove tbo quickest and most effective cure, and your best friend, Large Real Estate Sales.—We learn that during the past fow days Mr. H. V. Edmonds effected several large sales of property iu this city and district. Amongst others were 12 subdivided lots in the city nnd 200 acres of farming land on the Nortii Arm, The New Gaol.—We understand thut the lowest tender for tho new gaol at this city is that of Carkeek Bros., and that the contract will be awarded to this firm. The tondor was, wo believe, about $35,000, which is a great deal lower than nny of tho others, we are not awaro when tho building is to bo commenced or completed. The Salmon Pack.—The season's pack of snlmon on tho Pacific Coast was as follows: British Columbia, 150,000 cases; Columbia river, (120,000; Sacramento river (spring), 70,000; do do (fall), 25,000; Rogue river (spring), 8,000; do do (full), 4.000; Alaska, 45,- 000; Eel river, 8,000; Coipiille river, 7,300; Smith river, 5,000; Umpqua, 3,700; Tillamook, 4,500-total, 959,- 500. Dominion Liobnkbh. —The Dominion commissioners for this district met on Monday. It was decided that it would be imprudent to proceed with the issue of licenses! whilo thu constitutionality of thu not is still undetermined, and nn adjournment was taken for throe mouths. It is singular that tho supreme oouit of Canada should require such a length of timo to reach a decision respecting this net.

AcMnmunicn- tton was roceivod from Mr. E. H.

The rest of the business transacted was chiefly routine. Rich Iron Mjnk. — Mr. Darloy, superintendent of the Irondnle works, stated to a Port Townsend Times reporter that the iron mines of, Texada Island, B.C.,exceed iu extent any thnt he ever visited in the United States. In fact, the ore is inexhaustible, and of a most excellent quality. Mr. Dar ley says the smelting work* are a complete success, and tlmt the company hns concludod to ox pend n further largo amount of money iu tho erection of other buildtngB. <•■ ._ Alaska Plaobhs. — Lieutenant Abercrosmbio, of General Miles' Btaff, has just returned to* Portland from Cooper rivor, Alaska, where he has been engaged in explorations for the .U.

The season is short, and mining difficult. The fisheries aro the fittest known. SniFTtNa Centres.—Since tho opening of the Northern Pacific Railway ti great deal of the coast trado has been taken nway from San Francisco. It is estimated that the loss will not fall short of 25 or 30 put- cont. It is predicted that thu Canadian Pacific when completed, will still further cut up tho profitn of tho wholesale busiuoss. Business on tins coast is constantly moving northward, and Port Simpson and Sitka aro by no means improbable boom centres of the future Rich Coal Mink.—A special dispatch from Winnipeg to the Sau Francisco Post says:—-"A magnificent seam of coal haa been discovered at Crawford Crossing, eighty miles west of Winnipeg, Manitoba, on tlio Canadian Pacifio railway. Experienced men have boon employed by the company, and a seam 14 feet thick hns been, discovered 180 feet below the surface. Several boxes of coal arrived at Winnipeg to-day, and nre pronounced excellent specimens of the anthracite variety, it is thought tho coal fields just discovered will rival the coal fields of Ohio und Pennsylvania." ♦ A Bib Likt.—Roland Kane, customs officer in Montreal, hns earned n reward of flOO.000 from the United States Customs Department, for giving information to the collector at tho border, of diamonds nnd jewelry brought to Canada from England free, and thou surreptitiously transferred ovor the border without paying duty.

Pearson k Co's. * A Profitless Coat. Mine, — The oldest mine on the coast, and one from winch the greatest quantity of coal has been taken, the Nanaimo mine of the Vancouver Company, is evidently a bad property at present, judging by the report following from the Colonist: "For the half year ending the 30th of June the working at the mines of the Vancouver Coal Mining & Land Company (Limited) resulted in a gross profit of £1373. After debiting profit and Iobb with £2730 for depreciation, and £1246 for reserve funds ^'which the directors, do not feel justified in abating'), together with £1376 for debenture' interest, besides the London nnd other charges, there remains a sum of £5410 to bo added to the debit brought forward, raising it to £25,- 132.,? .—,—-—,—.» Nature's Gems. —On Saturday and Sunday there waa a light drizzling rain which became congealed as soon as it' fell. As a consequence, everything very soon became coated with ice clear and sparkling as crystal. The trees had their branches covered witli this brilliant envelope, and the enormous accumulation in some cbbob caused havoc among both fruit and ornamental trees. But the spootacle presented by a forest of crystal branches waving nnd sparkling in the sunlight was altogether beyond description. In the green timber on the Hastings road the scene whs particularly magnificent and oan never be forgotten by tlioso who there witnessed Nature adorned in her own inimitable gems. The Best Terminus.—After carefully examining tho wholo of Burrard Inlet," says a correspondent of thoPort- land News, "including English Bay, Coal Harbor and Port Moody, I should select English Bay in preference to Coal Harbor. It is not always safe for either sailing vessels or steamers to mako tho first narrows, when the tide ib running out to half ebb. Then the outside surroundings are iu favor of English Bay. With thia in view the company could build a breakwater on Spanish bank, out one mile, which would mnke English Bay tho finest and most capacious harbor on the North Pacific coast. This would seem to be tho trending of this gigantic enterprise, which will open to the commercial world the shortest route from ocean to ocean. It will also bacon- trolled by oue company, nnd tlint enthusiastically English; therefore this enterprise will prove antagonistic to everything truly American. So far ns 1 can now see, there is but one way to checkmate this Anglo flunk movement. It would be by making Port Townsend our objective point." ♦ —- CpASTiNO.—During the ' laat week there has been abundant opportunity for amusement iu tliis city, and chief among the outdoor attractions has been the coasting. Nearly every street leading to the rivor haa been occupied by the coastora, whose merry voices and swiftly-gliding sleigh* made a scene of great animation and excitement. Mary street was the favorite resort of the coasters, and on Saturday and Monday nights it was literally rilivo with all sorts of (people. The sleighs started above Queen s avenue and ran down clear across Front street, and sometimes on to the river. This run of quarter uf a milu wns mado in about Hi seconds, and near tbe finish, whoro the grade is stcop, the rate of speed was terrific. There must have been 500 peoplo on Mary street atone lust Saturday night, froni small children of 8 to men nnd Women of 50, Tho ladies seemed to enjoy the excite- ing nnd dangerous sport with us much genuine relish as any person. Quito n number of the coasters met with accidents, but we are glad to.lcurn that no serious mishaps occurred! The practice of coasting on so steep an incline is attended with some risk both to the coastora and persona crossing tho eta; but the amusement wns so thoroughly enjoyed by all that tliere have been uo complaints from any aotirce worthy of notico. ■ From Lansley. . (Correspondence of the Columbian.) Langley, Dec. 17.—At a congregational meeting held at Fort Langley on Monday, 15th inst., it waB decided to at once set about building n Presbyterian church here. The location of tho building at present used as a place of worship being objected to by Borne of the adherents, Mr. James Mackie made au offer to the meeting of half an acre of land alongside of tho new cemetery on the trunk road, near the land' ing. After some discussion,, the site offered by Mr. Mackie waB accepted, it being regarded as a central and desirable location. The following were appointed a building committee with power to raise funds, viz.: Thomas Black, John Maxwell, Henry Wark, Murdock Mclver and James Mackie. A Famous Frost.—Last week we gave some figures which showed that the winter of 1862 was the coldest of whioh there ia nny record on the coast. The Colonist furnishes some additional facta : The quantity of snow that fell in Oregon, Washington Territory and British Coiumbin was unprecedented. Columbia river wns frozen for two inontliB. Fraser river was frozen on tho 6th of January and remained so until the 10th of April, 1862. The snow was not off the then newly-discovered mines of Cariboo until June. There was good sleighing in and about Victoria for six weeks after a January snow storm, which raged for 28 days aud obliterated streets, roads and landmarks. Farming was then in its infancy ou the Island, and nearly alt tho atock fell victims to a scarcity of fodder. Cattle, horses and sheep suffered iu like proportion. Uny rose to $50 n ton and oats could nut be hud at any price. California having suffered from floods, which swept away most of the granaries iu the Sacramento Valloy, and flooded Sucramonto aud many other towns of note and importance. Aa in tliu present year tho winter sut in early iu December, a thaw took place about the first of tlio yenr, und ou tho fifth of January n hard frost began, the eflects of which were over in March un the Island, but were felt in the interior until June. Sinco 1862 the Pacific coast winters have always beeu mild. Oeo.

Its ulcerations actually covered more than half the surface of his body and limbs. He wns entirely cured liy. Ayer'a Sarsaparilla. See certificate in Ayer's Atmanac for 1S83, From Chilliwhack. (Correspondence of the Columbian.) Chilliwhack, Dec. 23.—The people of Chilliwhack juat now are feeling most forcibly the isolation of their position, and the miserable character of their mail arrangements. The mail service is so irregular and slow that' peoplo have become entirely disgusted. Surely it is about time this, the garden of British Columbia, received something like justice from the federal authorities. As hns been already stated in your paper, an overland mail by tho wagon road from New Westminster ia what is wanted. This service Bhould be twice a week, but if it was only once a week it would give a great deal better satisfaction than the present arrangement. If the mail went by the road it would be a benefit in more ways than one, for the road would havo to be kept in good repair and this would be of advantage to all the settlements ou the south side of tho river It iB believed the mails could be convoyed overland in winter by the farmers as cheaply, and perhaps moro so, thnn by any outsider. Thu service should start from this end of the route, so that orders going down by mail could be filled by return. At present the Fraser River is frozen up, as well as the Chilliwhack aud Luek-kuck, and we have no outlet by wator anywhere. It ia to be hoped the post-office inspector will take some action in thia mail business at onee, and have tenders for the service invited. From the North Arm. (Correspondence at the Columbian.) North Arm, Dec. 19, 1884.—The half-yearly examination of the publio school took placo yesterday. There were not many present, owing to the inclemency uf the weather; neither parents nor pupila from Sea Island could attend ns the. river was pretty woll blocked with floating ice. Thoso present expressed themselves well pleased with tho exercises, whioh consisted of reading, spelling, grammar, geography, recitations, &e. At tho close of the exercises the children surprised the toucher, Miss M. L. Harding, by presenting her with the following address, and a beautiful album: Dkak Teachkr.— We take much pleasure at this time, before separating for the Christmas holidays, in expressing to- yon in some tangible manner our appreciation of tbu untiling interest and faithfulness whieh you have constantly manifested towards ua in the pursuit of knowledge. We, therefore, beg you to accept this album as a slight token of the esteem in which you me held by ua, your pupils. And now wo wish to aay that we sincerely hope your pathway may continually brighten,' and thnt you will always find, pleasure iu furthering the interests of education. Signed on behalf of the pupils, Walter vkrmilyka, Miss Harding made a very suitabTlo nnd fooling reply, thanking them for their kindness thus manifested mid stating that the had nevor felt herself to be n "stranger in a strange land1." since coming amongst us. Complimentary Resolutions. Whereas, The lectures delivered in thia city by the Rev. Cephas C.

All along the line it has boon drifting and in tlio lace of bucIi circumstances it wns impossible for the working force to mako any progress. The latent reports from Tbu Dulles nre to tho effect that it looks liko cluuiing up. At Hood Rivor, however, the thermometer is down to '20 degrees, six inches of snow hns fallen, nud it is drifting badly. Passeitgrs ou the snow-bound train nro in good spirits, although they have been prwoners sinco . Thursday morning. They ure about teu miles from Hood River, uud this is the nearest placo wluiro'prot'isionacim be obtained. These have been sunt tu the train upon toboggans,, but the trip is a moat perilous one, nnd since thu present storm aet in it hus buen almost, impossible to get any men to attempt the trip. Assistant Manager Keunu telegraphed yeaterday to tlm Superintendent, Mr. Howo, to quire no expense and i)i» everything for the comfort of thu snow-imprisoned people. Dr. Ktmne soon nfter recoived mi answer telling liim that by offering munificent pay- eight men hnd been found to undertake tbo trin. Thoy accordingly ordered four toboggans, and at five o'clock in tho afternoon started upon the tedious and perilous joumoy. The danger liea in the fact that thu track und grade is ao drifted that the whole mountain aide ia like the sloping roof of a houso with the eaves running over into the Columbia. A trip, even with toboggans, is not easy, for even a misstep might sen-*! one shooting down Into the river. Though grent misapprehension has been expressed dr to the safety of the passengers on the snowbound train, there iB no danger, unless it be from hunger, and the company will seo to it thut no such strait occurs. A call for 500 men was circulated around the city lost night to shovel snow for $2 50 a day and board, and these will start out at seven o'clock this morning. All the drunks in the city jail, 12 in number, have been pardoned to go upon this relief expedition. To-morrow tbe company will have nt work 1,000 men with twenty engines and threo snow plows, and if alt the forceB of winter's storms do not combine against thein, tbey will soon open up the track. C. W. Johnson, nssist- ent superintendent of the O.K. and N. Co., yesterday Bent 200 pounds of canned beef and 500 loaves of bread to the front from this city. ' A large supply of provisions will be Bent along with the relief expedition to-day. .» .... Sternwheela Tor the Nile. Mr. Henry Holbrook, formerly of this city but now resident in England, sends thu following letter to an English newspaper: "Will you allow me to bring to the notico of tho public' through your; paper, how the difficulties on the Nile may be overcome. It is to adopt the steamboat we uae on the Fraser river, British Colunbia, called a stern-wheel steamer. Thia bout draws 15 to 18 inches of water, will curry GO to 70 tons of goods and 100 passengers, is worked on the high preaaure principle, with tubular boiler, and will against stream travel 70 to 80 milts a day, and down stream double the distance. The Fraser river, like the Nile, is a rapid stream, full of shallows and rapids, and the difficulties overcome between Hope and Yale cannot, I think, be surpassed on the Nile. lum convinced that if these -boats are brought into uso the difficulties of transport will cense, aud any quantity of goods can be carried up. I have Been them successfully used for 25 years, nnd they aro nlso used on the Columbia and Oregon rivers. No doubt many in England have traveled by them, and, I think, will bear me out that they would overcome all the difficulties in Egypt. I um aware that there are great difficulties to be overcome to bring them to the notice of the proper authorities, but if I succeed in doing .so, and inquiry is made of their service, my object will be awed. On the Pacific coast, being comparatively a new country, we have no prejudices to overcome, and we adopt what ia practical and useful, and I think we have done so on the present occasion. The boata would of course have to be built in Egypt. The proper lines and drawings can be obtained in Victoria or New Wcatminater. For lighters we use a flat-bottomed boat, square at the u fa, called a scow, on which heavy got is and cattle enn bo moved about. For pack Baddies we use the Mexican apparajos. We have tried every sort, and huveat last adopted theae. Our mules catty over the mountain trails 400 pounds by this means and never hare sore backs. Again I repeat there are many in England who havo, liko myself, seen these used, and if they will assist in making theso matters known a great service may bo done; or if any company engaged in the Egyptian trade will enquire into what I have written, and follow in the steps of British Columbia, they will cheapen nnd overcome any difficulties thero may be in the Nile navigation at either high or low water, ub the boats I mention will run in threo feet of water, and with a line out ovor ordinary rapids.

Communications. Mr. Kennedy Corrected. EmroR Columbian,—Iu your Inst issue I noticed n letter from Mr. James Kennedy, who in his zeal to defend the conduct of our city member, Mr. Cunningham, who is continually violating the law tad all sense of honor, by supplying the government with goods, makes aome statements which I will endeavor to place before tho public in their true fight. He states thut Mr. Cunningham told him to get the stoves required for the new wing of the asylum from Mr. Scoullar'sl Now, sir, I will provo by Mr, Kennedy's conduct that this statu- ment is not truo, ami that Mr. Kennedy was working all the time for his patron. Mr. Cunningham. On Thursday, the 18th, Messrs. Kennedy, Ferris and Knc called nt my place of business; I wns out at the time; they told the man in charge that they -wanted eight'stoves fortius new wing of the asylum, nud would call when I wns in; but I um told, in talking thu mutter over, Mr. Kennedy suggested thut they hnd better divide the efuey between tho two stove dealers; biter in-the day the sume three gent'icmou called again, uud suid that they hail selected throe'stoves for the asylum while I was absent. "Hut," [aoid, "don't yon re- lulre eight!" "Ah! yes," Mr, Kennedy aays, "but wo havo ordered the balance bom Mr. Cunningham." 1 thought thia was a very underhand way of doing business, ami told the committee they Alight to be ut-hnmed of themselves iu upholding Mr. Cumiiugliniii's conduct, who hu* taken advantage ot every public position he hns held t* feather bis ucst; [iiit, they said, "you haven't the stoves iu stock." We Want live 10-lU. Victors, nud lhey must he pla ed in position no Inter than Friday morning." I said, "I haven't that many in stock, but will get them and place thom in tho asylum by Friday night. .Surely six or eight hours ain't going to hurt the plaster very much more,. But thoy sum, "We couldn't wait, so will hnve to older them from Mr. Cunningham." Now, sir, did Mr. Cunningham furnish the kind of stoves wanted 1 No, he did not, bnt substituted others, which 1 wns not ntlowcd to do although r hod plenty of another kind in stock. Again, did Mr. Cunningham hnve tho stoves set up mi Friday morning)' No, sir, ho did not get them up till lute on Suturdny! Now, notwithstanding that 1 had pledged my word to aot the stoves In plnce by Friday night, the order was given to our worthy eity member to lilt.

NEWS FROM All PARTS OF THE WORLD. New York, Deo. 16.—Tho Tribum says: Some idea of the immense undertaking of building the new aqueduct, for which contracts were let on Saturday, mny be derived from the following: According to a rough estimate, seven- eighths of the distance between Harlem river and the proton dam will have to be cut through rock. One of the greatest engineering feats connected with it will be tho tunnelling under three streams, the Harlem, Sawmill and Pocoantio rivers. By the aid of the electric light, which will allow work to go on night and day, it ia expected the undertaking will be finished in about three years. The total amount of awards for the work is $11,!H1,607. New York, Rec. 21.—A cable special from London of December 20th says: The Colonial Ofiiee und Australian agents iu Loudon continue to deny the report that Germany has annexed certain islands in i'olynesin, but, despite those denials, the report continues to lie the absorbing sensation in political circles. The Poll Mull Gazelle, says this morning in a leader de* voted to the subject that the bulk of the Liberal party would not object aud would have no cause to object if it should prove true that Ctermnny has annexed the island in question. "It is absurd," says the Gazette, ''for England to continue to sulk because she cannot monopolize half the world," The writer believes that the proposed colonial enterprises of Germany on the west and cast coasts of Africa may jiosBibly imperil Anglo-Ger- innn friendship, but that no auch result can come of Germany's acquisition of unimportant and unkuotvn islands in the Pacific ocean. The article goes on to say that thoughtful politicians believe there has been more than enough bickering between England and Germany, and that the need of a good understanding between those two great powers is now imperative tor the Bake of interests wliich are far more important thau any colonial scheme. Berlin, Dec. 23.- At the Congo conference to-day General Sauford, American delegate, asked how it was proposed to extend the provisions of the convention in the absence of the means of communication. Dr. Busch replied that it would bo best that tiie German chancellery Bhould transmit to the powers the German postmaster-general's recommendation. General Sunford gave notice of hia intention to introduce an amended project for a railway around the cataracta. Kapnist of Russia refused to assent to England's proposal to make oil and coal contraband in time of war. The American neutrality s.heme was shelved by tha conference, through the opposition of Courol, who affirmed Franco unable to accept it in any form whatever. Germany und En-.daud warmly supported Ameri .. Toronto, Dec. ii4.—During last winter nnd spring a number nf incendiary fires occurred iu Georgetown and vicinity, the sufferers boing chh'Sy officers charged with the execution of the provisions of the Scott temperance act. Suspicion pointed to the notorious Francis Sidey. belonging to Syracuse, N, Y., who confided to another party that he had done the work at the instigation of liquor dealers. Sidey, believing himself safe, went to the United States. A government detective got information of his return last week, and succeeded in arresting him yesterday at Lindsay. He took him to Oak villi to-day, where he wus indicted. He isF wanted at Cobourg and other places. Should he turn queen's evidence, ns expected, there will be a sensation. New York, Deo. 13.—Tbe Tribune Bays: A Chineso laundry at Belleville, whicli wus the second attempt made in thu east to introduce cheap 'Jhiuese labor, has proved a pucce-is to its proprietors, though it hast not diminished the prion of the laundry work t.o the public. The tiii experiment with Chinese labor was made ut Nortii Adams, Massachusetts, in shoemaking, Captain James Harvey wns the pioneer in introducing Chinese as laundrymen at Belville. He began with sixty-eight, whom he secured at San Franctbco by a contract with the six compaiiics.n They cost him $11."> each to place in his Inundrv, und then he paid them about 913 a month and board. He subsequently added to tke number. At the expiration of tho contract these Chinamen set up for themselves, chiefly in Newark and New York. Thus originated a large colouy in this city. Their sucuess was such bb to induce others to jome here, and so numerous are they now that they have an unwritten law among themselves, prohibiting the establishment of a new laundry Within a certain distance of mi old ono. Kates for laundry work remain the fame ns hefore the Chinese came. I-ondos, Dec. 25.—A dispatch from Shanghai snys 8i>,000 Chinese troops, under Li. Hung-Cliang ore massed at Peiho. The worka at Port Arthur, gulf of Pe Chi Li, built by German artillery otlicers, mnke the strongest fortress in north China. The works ure mounted with heavy Catling and Nordenfeldt guns. Tho entrance to the port ia guarded with torpedoes. The Chinese have warned the French that they intend to mnke uu nttnek. Letters irom the French fleet at Kelung state that Admiral Courbet is ill und worried over bis forced inaction. LONDON, Dec. 25. — Tasmania and Quuenslnnd have joined Victoria In a protest ugninst annexation by Germany of a portion of New Guinea and adjoining islands, but tliu authorities of New South Wales and Australia have refused to join. The Australian press generally expresses indignation at the action of Germany. London, Dec. 23.—A Berlin correspondent .-ays tin re now exists a secret convention between Franco and Germany, iu accordance with which France is allowed unlimited colonization in Morrocco nml T-Hiiiiiin, und Germany, while respecting French possessions in Africa, is nt liberty to annex territory anywhere not nll'i-i ting French interests. Ottawa, Dec. 2,5.— Among the claims preferred liy the premier of Manitoba ugninst the Dominion govemment is one for $10,(100, for expenses inclined by the Multiloba govemment in contesting the boundary question hefore the imperial council. London, Dee. 25.— The Newt in an article on tbe decision of the Powers to ignore the English-Egyptian proposals Buys: "The action was prompted by Bis- niurck, who, irritated by the policy of Gladstone, desires the overthrow of the British Cnbiuet. Bismarck, it is said, wanted England to annex Egypt and so cnnblc Germany to puisne her present policy of colonization. France ami Austria." continues tho article, "wonld willingly support Bismarck, ns they consider that the action of England in Egypt will put a check to their schemes of annexation elsewhere." London, Dec. 20.—The French Ambassador- bus returned to London from France. He is instructed to advise Earl Gruuville to accede to the demand of Germnity and Bussia for membership In the Egyptian tlebt Commission, and also to withdraw the proposal to reduce the interest on the debt. Fulling of an agreement between France and Engkuid, aU the powers except Italy will reject the English proposals. St. John, Dec. 26.—A dispatch from Harbor Grace states that the Orange demonstration passed off quietly. A procession composed of 1,000 persona passed through the principal streets of the city unmolested. Hiverheud men, with a green flag, sought their own citadel. Orangemen refrained from intrusion on Catholic ground. The bloody memory of last St. Stephen's day, reinforced by a war ship and a formidable police force, effectually prevented any hostile demonstration. London, Dec. 27.—Tho news from Egypt is not of the most satisfactory character. It appears that Wolesley has decided to abandon the attempt to reach Shendy by the desert route, thus cutting off the great bend of the Me. The difficulties in the way seem too great to be surmounted with the resources at hia command. Instead of the desert route ho will use the Meruweh route to Berber, likewise through the desert, but much shorter than the other. He has accordingly changed his base from Korti to Meraweh, This change places tlie relief of Khartoum two months further into the future than was expected. Gen. Wolseley is far from satisfied with the arrangements for expedition. He has sent furious complaints to the War Office of the inefficiency and absolute breakdown of the transport and commissary service. Easton, Fa., Dec. 27-— The infernal machine found on the Jersey Central railway track yeaterday, near Weatfield, consisted of _ square package bound by a shawl strap, placed near the rail so us to appear to have b^en nccidently dropped. The track-walker found it. The package waa ao constructed as to explode if struck a heavy blow. It contained 68 cartridges and a lot of Wo. 1 giant powder. Hud tlie package not been discovered, it would have been struck by the next train, and terrible must have been the result. Miss Mary Campbell, Elm, writes:— "After taking four bottles of Northrop k Ljmian's Vegetable Discovery and Dyspeptic Cure, I feel as if I were a new person.

"You must not any'little town'to any of the Redborough people, Miss Ashton." "Oh, musn't I? At Walihnm nobody inindB. I should like to see the bank where all the Vernon money comes from. The Vernon money has never done ub any good, I believe, but still, when one is connected with money, one likes to see all about it at least. Do you think, Hester, this gentleman would be as good as to seo about my invitation? I don't know if Mrs,—I forget her iiutno—who gives the dance, is your sister, Mr. Vernon." "Mrs. Morridow is my cousin," said Edward. "Oh, cousin, is it? I suppose we aro ull cousins. Naturally, I should like an invitation; but I suppose it is because of the aplits in tlie fumily grandmamma d'-esn't Beoin to wish to do anything about it; and Hester hesitated, you know, just as you hesitated, Mr. Vernon, beforo you came to speak to us. What a pity that there should be such to-does; but where tliere ure a large number of poople in a fumily of course it can't always be helped. I have always found gentlemen were moro good-natured than ladies about getting one invitations. If you woro to tell Mrs. Merridew I ain here, even if bIio didn't think it right to call as most people would, nt least bIic might ■end mo a tickot. I can't have anything to do with either side, Booing I only arrived yesterday, and don't know a wurd about it; but I do like to mako acquaintance with a placo wherever I go." "I will Beo that my cousin sends you nn invitation, Miss Ashton; at least if she will do what 1 ask her. I have got my work waiting ine. Pardon me . if I go on." , "Oh, we were going the same way. I suppose we are going the same way?'' said Emma, looking at her companion. "You walk quicker than wo do, and I dare say you are in a hurry," said Heater, ungraciously. She did not respond to the look of mingled ro- proaoh and relief which ho gave her. The very vicinity of Catherine Vernon's house stiffened Hester into marble, and Edward was very anxious to go on. He Btood still for one moment with his hat in his hand, then hastuned on at a rate very little liko his usual mode of progression. Hestor, on her part, followed with studious lingering, pausing to point out to hur companion the view over the Common, the roofs of the Redborough houses, the White Houso on tho opposite slope. Emma naturally conceived her own suspicions from this curious piece of pantomime. They liud been walking smartly beforo, thoy walked slowly now—and hors was what sho thought a romantic imagination. She felt confident that theso two were true lovers separated by aome fumily squabble, and they did not venture to be soen walking together. "I know wo were going tho same way,1' she said, "because there uro not two ways, and ynu can sec tho town before you. I can't soe why we -might not have walked together. It 13 sinful to carry family tiffs so far," Emma said. ****** Edward had drawn his bow at a venture when he made that statement about Catherine to Hester, and ho wus full of doubt as to how it would influence hor. This was tho first time almost that ho had disregarded opinion, and withdrawn tho bolts and bars uml let himself go. Thero wus something in the atmosphere of the young houso, all breathing of life and freedom and dar iug disregard of all trammols, wliich got into his head iu spite of himself. He hud abandoned altogether tho decorous habits of his liferthei necessity which bound him as surely in n danco as at his oflico. On ordinary occasions, whenever a ball occurred in Redborough, Edward was aware beforehand which young ladies he would have to dance with, and knew that he must apportion his attentions rightly, and neglect nobody whoso father or mother had been civil to him. He knew that he must nut danco too often with one, nor sit out in cornt-rB, nor do anything unbecoming a young man upon whom tho oyes of many were fixed. But tlio very air in the house of tlie Merridews waa different from that of other places. There wus a licenso in it which existed nowhere else. Ho, the ataid aud grave, carried otf Hestet from her partners, appropriated her for n good part of tho evening, sat with hor hidden away among the ferns, iu tho conservatory, and only resigned her when compelled to do so. Even thou, by way uf emphasizing his choice of Hester, he scarcely danced at all after, but stood aiming tho other disengaged men in the doorways, watching hor and seizing every opportunity to gain hur attention. Ho was startled at himself when he thought of it. He walked home iu the middle of thu night in thu faint, wintry moonlight, following the old Ily he heard lumbering off iu thu distance carrying hor home, his mind tilled with a curious excitement and sense of aelf-aburitloti* ment. Ho hud always admired her; her iudepoiidoncu, her coumgo, her uager Intelligence, had furnished hiin since she was a child with a suit of ideal. Ho hnd kopt wondering what kind of a woman sho would grow up; uud lol hero sho wus, ti woman grown drawing other eyes than his, tliu object of admiring glances and obtriplithentary remarks. When ho hud seon her in her washed muslin at Catherine Vernon's parties, shu had still appeared tn him little m»ro than a child. Hu had still folt tho superiority of liis own position, and that thu passing glance nud shrug of familiar confidential half apology would probably please lior more than tho ordinary nttuutiotis which ho had to show among ho many. But Hester, hy Ellen Slurridew'a side, a taller and grander woman, well dressed, with hor mother's pearls about her whito throat, which was ns whito as thoy, was a different oreuturu alto- go tho r. To risk everything for a more school-girl was une thing, but n stntoly yonng creature liko this, at whom everybody looked, nf whom everybody said, uThat Hester Vornon? Dear me, I never thought she hnd grown up liko that!" was a different matter. Tho sight of hor hud intoxicated Edward, Perhaps poor Mrs. John's pearls and tho careful perfection of her dress hud something tu do with it. And thu place intoxicated him. Thero every ono was doing what seemed good in his own sight. There were few or none of thoso storn reminders whicli hu hnd road elrewhero In tho eyes of parents whose daughters were waiting to be danced with, tho "Was-it for-this-I- nsked-you-to-dinner?" look to which he hnd so often succumbed. For once he hnd lost his head; hu was evon vaguely oimeotoui thnt he had come there with a sort of intention of losing his head, aud for unoe thlnkiiiff <d his own pleasure nnd nothing more. No doubt thia had been iu his mind; and the sudden sight of that white figure, all graceful and stately, and of Mrs. John's pearls, hud done tho rest. But ho wns a little nervous noxt morning as he thought over whnt he had been doing; he did not beur Catherine's questioning well nt breakfast. When sho nsked him whom he hud danced with, he made answer that he had danced very little. But yot ho had enjoyed himself, oh yes. It had been so protty u party thut it had beeu pleasure enough to look on. Ho described tho conservatory and its Chinese lanterns with enthusiasm. "It must', indeed, have boen like fairy-land—or the firoworks at the Crystal Palace," Catherine hud said. And he had felt a bitter pang of offense aa ahe laughed. He did hot feel, indeed, that he could bear any remarks of tho kind, or depreciation of Ellen, for whom he folt a special kindness just now, Then Catherine snid. "But all this must hava come to a great deal of money. Algernon Morridow has only a share in his father's business; lm has no private money, has hot But of courso I know ho has no private means; and Ellen's little money will soon go at that rate." "I don't suppose Chinese lanterns cost very much,' said Edward. "Your temper is doubtful this morning," said Catherine, with a smilo. "It is 'on tho go,' which is usual onough after lato hours aud tho excitement of a dance; but I don't think you are often ao much excited by a dance. Did you see some ono whom you admired, Edward? I nm sure, if she is a nice girl, I shall be very glad." ''Perhaps it would be as woll not to try, Aunt Catherino; we might not agrco about what a nice girl is." "Nof1 said Cathorine, rather wistfully. She looked into his doubtful eyes across the breakfast-table, and, perhaps for tho first time, began to feel that sho wus not so vory certain ns she hud onco been as to what her boy meant. Wus it possible, aftor all, that perhaps the words upon wliich they agreed had different meanings to each? But this wns only a passing cloud. "Who was tho bollo?" she said, smiling; "you can tell me that at least, if you can't tell whom you admired most." Edward paused} and then an impulse of audacity seized him. "I don't know if you will liko it," ho said, "but if I must tell tho truth, I think that girl at the Vernonry— Hester, you know, who is grown up, it appears, and out—" Catherine bore the littlo shock with great self-possession, but sho felt it. "Hoster. Why should you suppose I would not like it'i She must bo nineteen, and, of course, she is out. And what of hor?" Catherine aaid, with a grave smile. She was vexed that Edward should be the ono to tell her of the girl's success), nnd she was vexed, too, that ho should think it would displease her. Why should it displease her/ Heought to have kept silence on the subject, und he ought not to havo scorned to know that she had any feeling upon it; the suggestion hurt her pride. "Ellen seems to have taken hor up. Sho has grown up much handsomer than I should havo expected, and she was very well dressed, with beautiful pearls—" "Ah!" said Catherine, with a long breath; "theu her mother kept her pearls." Sho laughed a moment after, and added, "Of course sho would; what could 1 havo expected? Sho kept her settlement, Poor littlo thing! I supposo she did uot understand whnt it meant, and that sho was cheating her husband's creditors." "I nevor quite understood," said Ed wurd, "why you should havo brought her hero uud given her a houso when she is still in possession of that income.1' "She has only u scrap of it. Poor thing! Sho did not know it was wrong to take it, nor that, if she did keep it, it ought not to havo been allowed to go for his nfter dobts. She got muddled altogether among them. The grcator part of it sho mortgaged for him, so that there was only a pittance left. Wliatover you muy think,'you young men, it is a drawback fur a man when ho marries a fool. And so sho kept her pearls'." Catherine udded, with n laugh of contempt. "Marrying a fool, however, must have its advantages," suid Edward, "since a woman with brains would probably have given up tho settlement altogether." "Advantages—if you think them advantages," Catherine suid, with a flash of her eyes, such as Edward had seldom seen. "Aud certainly would not hnve kept tho pearls—which nre worth a good deal of money," sho added, however with her habitual laugh. "1 think they most have dazzled you, my boy, tliese pearls." "I am suro thoy did," aaid Edward, composedly; "they took away my breath. 1 have seen her often, a dowdy little girl" {ho scorned himself for saying theso wonts, yet ho said them, though even his chock reddened with tho sense of sulf-coutumpt), "with uo ornaments nt nil." "No," said Catherine; "to do Mrs. John justico, she hud aa much sensu ns that. Silo would not havo put those pearls 'iu a girl's neck unless sho was dressed comfortably. Oh she Iiiib sense enough for that. I suppose she had a pretty dress—white/ But of course it would bo white at tho lirst ball -and lookod well, you suy!" "Vory huiidrtoiuo," said Edward, gravely. Ho did not look up to moot the look of awakened alarm, wonder, doubt, und rousing up of her faculties io meet a now (lunger which was iu Catherine's eyes. Hb kopt his on his platu and ate his breakfast with great apparent calm, though he knew very well, and bad pleasure iu thinking, that hu ha<l planted au arrow in her. "By-tho-wiiy," ho said, after uu interval, "where did John Vernon piuk his wifo up? I hear sho is of good family- uud was it her oxtravnguuee thut brought about liis ruin! Theso aro details I have never heard." "It is not ueuessary to enter intc suoh old stories," said Cnthoriiiu, a<jino- what stiffly. "He met hur, I suppose, as V'ung men meet unsuitable people everywhere; but we muat do justice. I don't think she had any share in tho ruin; any more, at least, than a woman's legitimate share," she added, with a laugh that was somewhat grim. "Ho whb fund of every kind of indulgence, and then speculated tu mend mutters. Beware of speculation, Edward. Extravagance is bad, but speculation is ruin. Iu the oue ciue you may havo to buy your pleasures vory dear, but iu tho other there ia no pleasure, untliing but destruction and misery." "Is nut that a littlo hard, Aunt Catherine? There is another side tu it —sometimes a colossnl fortune instead of destruction, aa you aay; and in the meantime a groat denl of excitement aud interest, which nre pleasures in their way." "The pleasure of balancing on the point of a needle over the bottomless pit," sho said. "If I woro not very sure that you have too much sense to be drawn into anything of the kind, I should take fright to hear you say oven as much as that. The very name of speculation is a horror to me." "Yet there must always be a little of it in business," he said, with a smilo creeping nbout tho corners' of his mouth. "You think mo old-fashioned in my notions, aud with a woman's incapacity to understand business, but iu my day wo managed to do vory well without it," Catherine said. "To think of a womanjs incapacity for business in your presence would bo silly indeed. I hope I am not such an ass as that," said Edward, looking up at hor with a smile. And she thought his look so kind and true, so full or affectionate filial admiration aud trust, that Catherine's keen perceptions wore of no more mo to hor thnn the foolishness of any mother. He returned to luncheon that day as if for tho purpose of obliterating all disagreeable impressions, and it was on leaving the Grange to return to tho bunk thnt he met Hester and Emma. This confused and annoyed him for a moment. It was not so that ho would have liked to meot tho heroine of last night; and hor unknown companion and the highly inappropriate place of mooting mado tho encounter atill less to his taalo. But whon he had hurried on in advance ho began to nsk himself what was tho meaning of Hester's reluctance to walk wiih him, or even to Bpeak to him, hor attitude—drawing buck even from his greeting; and the clouded look in hor eyes. It was natural that ho should not wish to apeak to her at tho door of the Grange, but why she should wish to avoid him ho could not tell. It would have beon a triumph over Cathorine to have thus demonstrated hor acquaintance with him at Catherine's very door. So Edward thought, having only the vulgar conception of feminine enmity. On the whole, seeing that he hud sowed the aeedB of suspicion ill CaUiorino's bosom', it was better that Hester should hold him at nrm's length. Yet ho was piqued by it. When ho reached tho bunk, however, nows awaited him which turned his thoughts in a different channel. He found Harry Vornon and Algernon Morridow in great excitement in tho room whicli wus sacred to tho former. Ashton hud mado the first coup on their behalf. Ho had bought in for them at a fabulously low prico, certain stock by which iu a few weeks ho was confident they might almost doublo thoir ventures. Tu furnish tho details of this operation is beyond tho writer's power, but the throe young men understood it or thought thoy understood it. Of course a skilful buyer prowling about a crowded market with real money in his pocket, knowing what ho wants and what is profitable, will bo likely to got his money's worth, whether hu is buying potatoes or Btock. "I saw it was very low,'1 said Morridow, "und wondered ut the time if Ashton would bo down upon it. I thought of writing to liim, but on the whole I suppose it's best not to crump them in Iheir operations. They ought to know their own business best." "They shell it out when there's a good thing going, these fellows do," suid Hurry, out of hia mustache. "Aud nobody bus auy money apparently," Algernon suid, with a laugh of pleasure, moaning to imply sore you and me. "When money's tight, that is the time to place a littlo with advantage," ho snid, with a profound nir. "I think you should go in for it ou a larger scale, you two follows lhat have tho command of the bank. "I wouldn't risk too much nt onco," Harry said. Edward listened to their prattle with a contempt which almost reached the length of passion. To hear them talk as if they understood, or as if it muttered what thoy thought! His own bruins wero swelliiigi.with excitement. He know that ho could go a great deal further if bo pleased, and that Harry's Bhnro in the decision would be small. Dancing ou tho point of a needle over the bottomless pit! It was liko an old woman's insane objection to anything during—nny thing out of tho common way. Ashton's letter to him was far longer aud more detailed than hia communications with the others. He said plainly that hore was an opportunity for au operation really upon a grand scale, and that there could be no doubl of a dazzling success. "You will communicate just as much or us little of this aayou think proper to the .others," Ronald wrote, and it was atl that Edward could do to keep up an appearance of replying t<i them, of joining in thoir gratification as ho pondered this much moro important proposal. "It is not once iu a dozen years that such a chalice arises," Roland said. Now Edward had nothing of hia own to speak of, fur loss thou tho others, who euch had a trifle of independent fortune. All thut ho could risk waa tho money of tho bipilt. Tho profit, if profit thore wns, would bo to the hunk, uud even thut largo increase of profit wuuld havo its drawback, for Cathorino, who liked to know everything, woultl enquire into it, and in hor opinion success would he. scarcely loss dangerous than failure. Ho could uot stay in thu drab-colored calm of tho oflico whoro theso two young idiots were congratulating each othor and trying to talk as if thoy know all nbout it. His scorn of thuiii wns unspeakable. If thoy gained a hundred pounds thoir elui ion would bo boundless. Thoy wero liko boys Bending out a littlo toy frigate, and enchanted when it reached in safety tho opposite side of the puddle, iim Auburn meant business. It was not for thia sort of trifling work ihat ho had aot himself to watch those fluctuations, which arc more delioato thah anything iu nature they could be compared to. Tho blowing of tho winds and thoir changes woro prose compared to the headlong poetry of the money market. Edward felt ao in my new pulses waking in him, such a hurrying fever in hia veins, that he could not control liimuolf. "You'll be here, I suppose, Harry, till closing tiinol I'm going out," he said. •'You are going out—yow that nover havo anythiug to do out-of-doors I 1 hud to umpire in a match on the other Bide of the Common," said Harry, "but if you'll just toll Cordwaiuor as ynu pass to get some one elso in my place I don't mind staying. I'm sure you've done it often, Nod, for me." "I am not iu request, like you; but I have something I want to see to today." "All right," said Harry. "Don't you go aud overdo it; whatever, it ia.1! "You are seedy with slaying up, 'dancing and flirting," Baid young Merridew. with his imbocilo laugh. "Nelly sayBshu could not bulievo her oyos." "1 wish Ellen and you too would understand thut dancing nud flirting are entirely uut of my wuy," said Edward, with a flush of anger, as he took his hat and wont out.
