Contemporary Opinions, Canadians Imve good reunon to bo Kiitisficd with their own oliuiutc, when they compare the untimely freuks of-tho weather in parts of the United States with the comparative equability of the climate here. In Toronto there has been no frost since May. Connecticut had a week's sleighing in Ami], and damaging frost repeatedly about the middle of June, mid again last weok. Various places throughout New England report frost hist week, with corn and buckwheat dnmugotl. At a place called Cuiiuiin, the mercury wan actually four degrees below the freezing point, and ice formed. At Troy and various other parts of Eastern New York the frost was damaging, and even in the maritime climate of Long Island potatoes and cabbage were injured. And yet Now Yorkers look upon Canada as cold. The great lakes ought to be appreciated us checks on cold weather and railway monopolies.—Toronto Globe. Bun Butler throws stones, with fair, show of impartiality, ut both Democrats and .Republicans. His address on tho presidential election is a long speech, implicating tho duty of continually burning incense under tho nose of tho workingman: a tusk which he abundantly fulfils himself. But it is not difficult to see, through the smoke, that the central figure is intent upon nothing so much as preparing to make the apotheosis of Ben Butler. But Butler gives i very- thing to brawn and nothing ta brain, "All that God vouchsafes lo man," he tolU workingmen, "are yours in the sight of high hen vou,!' • For "capitalists" and "inoiitj 'Msts"—the latter he sometimes finds in the most improbable places—he ret, \eveA great store of malediction. Through tho favor of the Supreme Court, le will henceforth enrich the workingman with an abundant supply of greenbacks, the currency of the future. Without ll»o least acknowledgment, steals Blaine's thunder uIjoul .titnei-ioan control of tliu Pnnn- ma Canal j but he wilt not be tho richer for the larceny. i*'n. Butler's sharp oyes have detected a "British party in thia conntiy (the United States) who 'npe lhe British aristocracy" aud "wear clothes that are imported." Butler's professed aim is to hold the balance between the two parties now and achieve complete success—eigh' -'cars hence. In a close contest a few votes may turn the scale eithor way. But that Ben Butler will ever he President of the United States is not among the possibilities of tho future.—The Week The Rev, Josiiih (took, tiie well- known divine, in an artiel un Anglo- American political alii mc contributed to the Montreal Wifntm, takes the view that such nn allitnco is not only possible but probable. The day may not be at hand but it is nevertheless surely approaching, A legislative union of the two countries would be practically impossible; but the community of commercial interests, the growing unison of political sentiment, and tho powerful influences of similarity of speech and literature will some day when tho enobling genorous impulses of the two poople overpower the discordant notes of the demagogues or tho bitterness bequeathed by the troubles of the past compel them to create a great defensive alliance of the English speaking poople throughout the globe, Sueh an alliance would not be a menace to-the remainder of the world, but a guarantiee of peace. The interests of a commercial country are adverse to tho pursuits of .war, and the growing influence of higher conceptions of man's duty to man, would assist in protecting those interests by resorting to the arbitrament of calm and impartial men, and not to that of rudo headstrong soldiers, It may be, argued that though England is a commercial country, yet she h.is shown nn unfortunate facility for becoming involved into wars. That • In truo in a measure, but it is owing to the past undue predominance of the fighting classes, nnd not tho commercial, in the administration of her a trail's. The extension of tho frau- chise to the masses of the people, who have the bulk of taxation, and suffer the most in orphaned children or widowed wives by war, will make tho nation more cautious in the future than in the past. The great warlike countries of Europe to duy arc those whose peoplo enjoy the least measure of popular liberty, aud whose commercial advancement is handicapped by the enormous tux imposed upon all industries by the maintenance of large bodies of armed men, who consumn much, but produce nothing.—Ottawa Free Pram, Columbian. VOLUME 26 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. 0., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1884. NUMBER 21 Aii Editor Insulted- . Editors havo to put up with all manner of taunts and insults, Not bo long ago, at a social gathering, an Austin lady said to a young man who is connected with a local paper: "You ought to belong to a oliurch choir." "But I oan't Bing. What mit the idea of my belonging to a church choir into your head?" "0 nothing, except that I wai, reading tho other day that a San Francisco church proposes to introduce harp music into the choir, and there Ib not much difference, you know, between a harp and a lyre, So I thought I'd just make the suggestion,"—Siftingt, A father Rebuked. V Ool. McLeod, although not a bad man at heart, uses very rough language iu Ida intercourse with hii family. On returning to his home froin hii place of business, a few days ago, he found his wife very much excited over the outrageous conduct of a tramp, who, being dissatisfied with tbe food given him by Mra, McLeod, had abused her in a most outrageous manner. "Johnny," said Ool. McLeod, to his ten-yenr-eid sou; "when you heard that cuivardly wretch abusing your mother, why didn't you run to the store quick, and lot mo know? Didn't you hoar ?" ; "Yes, pa, I was out in the stable and hoard what ho said about the victuals ma gavo him, and how he abused her, but " "But what?" ' 'I thought it wos you scolding ma. He used the same cuss words ns you do when the dinner don't suit you, so I thought it couldn't bo anybody elso but you. I didn't think anybody else would dare to talk to ma that way." Johnny unconsciously administered a sevoro rebuke to his irascible pa, who never again spoko to his wife as if he were a tramp. Things In People's Ears. "You would be astonished," said a skilled uuriet in one of the public eye and ear infirmaries, "at the largo number of children who aru brought to us in the course of a woek to have some* thing removed from thoir oars tliat thuy have foolishly stuck in them and hnve boon unable to got out again. I have sometimes disposed of ten suoh casus in an afternoon, and have pulled iiliiKist everything out of the human uar that it is possible to get in there— shoo buttons, pieces of slate pencil, candies and wads of paper. Four times iu five the youngster is old enough to know better; but it is a habit thuy fall into, the aame as biting'their nails or scratching their heads. Onu boy not 12 years old is almost a weekly visitor hero. "Well," I said, as I saw him come in us uHiitd yesterday afternoon, "what havo yau got in thore this afternoon 1" "Nawthiu' but a bean," he drawled. Oh, yes, 1 took it out. But I recently met with tho most remarkable case of tho kind in twenty years' practice. A young woman of 23 camo in so deaf that I could hardly make her hoar by shunting through n trumpet. After removing a great quantity ot wax from hor oars I found something metallic. "What's this?" I said. "Have you benn nutting something in your oar?" "On, dear, no," iho said; "I am not so foolish as thut." Imnpino her surprise whon I pulled out a smooth, round brass button, with quite a lnrge shank to it. "This seems to have beon in thoro a great many years," I aaid. To my surprise the young woman crouched in tlie eorner in undisguised terror. "Oh, doctor," she said, "what is that awful noise?" It was nothing but a wagon rumbling by, but I instantly saw what the trouble was. Her hearing had become normal when I removed that button, aud she was frightened and bewildered at tho jumble of confusing sounds. The ticking of tho clock, chirping of tho canary or dripping of water distressed her, and the rustle of her own silk dress made her start with fear. T scut une of tho assistants home with hor in a carriage, and he suid the clatter iu the street so distracted hn that ho was compelled to hold hern, seat. About a woek afterward i came in again— "And wanted that button put back, I suppose," interrupted the reportor. "Oil, no; shu was brimming over with happiness, though for ii day or two Bho was afraid to leave the house. But sho told me about that button. 'Wliun I was about eight years old,' she said, 'I wns Bunt to u village church iu New England with my grandmother. The sermon was always long and tiresome, and I used to amuse myself by pulling nt tliu brass button--, on my clonk. Onu of them came off onu Sunday, und I occupied myself for a time with putting it in my ear nnd shaking it out again. Suddenly I felt it sink awayiu there and I could uot get it out. I was afraid to tell my grandmother ut tlio timo, nnd soon afterward forgot it. At 10 years of ago I begun to grow deaf and have beon getting worse ever since, but I never once thought of thnt button until you removed it.'" "Do grown people,," nsked the reporter, "ever come to you with things in their ears?'' "Frequently, but in most cases it is through no fault of thoir own. I knew one mnn, a butcher, who comes hero regularly in tho summer time tu hnve flies removud from his ears. I have takun out six nt a time for him, - Howover they get there I don't know, Ho says they fly iu; but thuy don't Hy out, I'm suro of that. A man called me out of bed ono night to get a Cretan bug out of his ear. Nuw, a water bug will never back. Ho must either turn around or go straight ahead. This bug had crawled into the man's ear, and, not finding room enough to turn around, went ahead. Ho was pawing away with Iub feelers on tho drum, thus causing the poor man foarful agony." A burglar got into the house of a lawyer tho other day. After a terrible Btruggle'the lawyer succeeded in rob*, ing him.— lienth and Bar. , ♦■ — Mother Graves' Worm Exterminator has no equal for destroying worms In children nnd adults, T cm II.

Imperial Federation. : Referring to the proposed scheme .for the federation of Great Britain and her colonies, the St. Paul Globe says: "Possibly it might be well for this country to insist that no portion of such a gigantic combination shall- be allowed to rest on the western continent. We have found it necessary to our growth to remove both Spain and France from onr southern borders, and it may be equally necessary lhat Great Britain, in no more powerful shape than at present, be permitted co locate i' elf along onr northern boundaries." Th*8 -9 carrying the Monroe ttocU-pic to a point wliero il may meet with a very decided opposition. The British possessions on tliis continent arc now considerably larger than those of the United States; and as Britain was hero beforo the United States had un existence, the proposal is, to say the least, rather cheeky. The accomplish msnt of the federal scheme is quite doubtful, but if it should ever be carried out the United States may rest perfectly content It is almost impossible that a war should tako place between Great Britain and the United States. Public sentiment on both Bides of tho lino (ex- copt the fenian element) would be too strongly opposed to such a misfortune to make it possible. Our Resident (!) Judge. It is reported that Judge Walkem ■ is goirig up to Kamloops to take tbe interior.conrt business. Judge McCreight has not returned from Cariboo. The chief justice had court iu this city on Thursday, and leaves for Victoria tbis morning. The conrt which should have sat at Chilliwhack on Thursday was postponed, as usual, because there was no judgo to preside. This is becoming monotonous, but it is fearfully disappointing and expensive. There is a man living 240 miles in the interior who was summoned to attend court at Chilliwhack on the 11th. Wo do not know whether he obeyed the bummona or not. If lie did, oiu* readers may imagine what his sentiments must have been when lie ar-. rived-atfthilliwhiiefc, after a journey of 200 miles, to find that the court had been postponed! But there is no option in such matters. If n summons is not obeyed, the person receiving it is liable to arrest and imprisonment. There seems to be no law which will compel the judgo, who is paid purposely for tliat, to attend court, but no mercy is shown the poor fellow who neglects to appear on a summons! When Judge McCreight went to Carriboo Mr. Homer, M.P.,teleg-aphed to Ottawa poking why this district \vi\s left without a judge. The reply was that the minister of jusaee knew nothing about &w matter,but wou'd enquire of the attoruey-geuerul for this province. Is it possible that our lutoi ney-general is responsible for the continued muddle in judicial matters! We shnll awp.it the minister of justice's explanation with some interest. The attorney-general must have consented to Judge McCreight's going to Cariboo. He had no right to do this unless lie had made provision for supplying this district with a, resident judgo. Indeed, it was his duty to protest against it to the Dominion government, wliich lie does not seem to Imve done. There is grave neglect somewhere, and when iho facts come to be known we shall not hesitate to "put tho Illume whore it belongs* The Coal Harbor Extension. A writer in the Victoria Times, over tlie nom de plume of "Justicin," undertakes to show that the pro vlnoial government was not justified in giving public lunds to induce the syndicate to extend tbe railway to Coal Harbor. This writer begins by saying that the government made an offer of certain tracts of land if tlie syndicate would carry the line down to that point. In this we believe ho is mistaken, Mr. Van Home stated that the syndicate had applied to the government for these lands, but the govornmont was not willing to givo up as muoh as the company asked, Tie first proposal, therefore, came from tbe syndicate and uot from the government. Justicia maintains that no government has a right to speculate with the public lands, arid that the proposed arrangement is simply a speculation. But • what is the government to do? Tliete lands were held by tho Dominion government until very lately. The moment they came into tho hands of the provincial government they were applied for by the railway syndicate, who proposed to extend the lino down to Coal Harbor aud Knglish Bay. Tbe government, we believe, consented to give a part of the land, and it is generally believed the company accepted it. How much was asked, or how much was given, we do not know. Tho Victoria correspondent of the Toronto Globe says the syndicate gets from 7,500 to 10,000 acres, and this is probably not far from the real figure, fow, it must be clear to every person that if the road goes down to Coal Harbor the remaining government lands will have a value far beyond anything before dreamed of. What is tbe govornment to do with them? To give them away for $1 au acre to persons who undertook to become settlers, or to sell them at the regular price of $2.50 an acre, would bo simply absurd. The lands may be worth, perhaps, f.om §250 to $1000 an acre. How ridiculous to sell tliem for $2.50! There was no plan upon whiuh theso Innds could bo disposed of with fairness to all except to put them up nt public auction. If disposed of any othor way thore would be » hundred applicants for every lot; a tctrible crush; aud the result would be that a few men with superior muscle or unu sual cheek would retire with fortunes, while the rest would gain nothing. The position of this property is most exceptional, and it must bo administered under exceptional rules. But Justicia maintains thut tho government had no right to do anything which might induce the syndicate to change the terminus. It must be evident to every person that the syndicate had made up its mind long ago to carry the railway beyond Port Moody; It is several months since Mr. Onderdonk mado a statement to that effect to a deputation in this city. The only matter to be arranged was tho lands for terminal works. To those who heard Mr. Onderdonk's announcement, the statements of Mr. Van Homo were no surprise; and the perfect agreement of theso two gentlemen in respect to the extension should satisfy everybody ou that point. Both Mr. Onder- ;Ionk a id . Mr. Van Home said the syndicate intended to take tho road to Coal Harbor or English Bay, und both said tbat Port Moody would not be abandoned. The-'e Weto several circumstances wliich might have led the gv."eniment to receivo favorably the proposal of tho syndicate. The extension of t'ie road to the new terminus would give an additional 15 miles of railway, und would give the advantages of railway traffic to several communities which could not benefit to any extent from tlio terminus at Port Moody, At Hastings and Moodyvillo are situated some of the largest and most important manufacturing industries in the province, and it would ho very proper for the government to assist in expending the railway to theso places if it could. Thero wore no i ite rests to suffer in comparison witli those whicli would bu holjwd. It is a mistake to suppose, ns so many people have done, that Port Moody will absolutely collapse whon the road goes down to the lower harbor. Property there may not bring tho absurdly high figures at which it was held, but in the face of the declarations of Messrs. Onderdonk and Van Home theio seems every probability that Port Moody will always be a place of some importance. Tho shrinkage in Port Moody lots :« a misfortune to thoso who hold them, but if any reliance can be placed in tho newspaper which is supposed to represent that placo the shrinkage is so small us to he of no consequence. If the government could insure the construction of from fifteen to twonty miles of additional railway, and bring tbu great transcontinental highway within easy reach of an impottaut section . of tho province; if it could increase tlie value of its own lands n thousand fold by giving a part of thorn for railway purposes; nnd if in doing so it did uo injustice to existing interests, we cannot see the ground upon which objection iB taken, Several housei for salo by C.

Somo say the Chinese aro passably decent, and that their presence was necessary some years ago in, order to enable British Columbia manufacturers to compete successfully with California manufacturers, who have Chinamen in their employ. On this point Dr. Helmcken insisted. Ho also stated that Chinamen mako good sorvants, nnd that tho best thing fur persons who aro opposed to Chinese immigration to do is to refrain from employing them. Mr. CharleB Wilson took the opposite view. Chinamen, ho said, degraded labor by working too cheaply, and introduced immorality. In tho wny of taxation they seldom pay a cent. Though thero are 3,500 Chinamen iu Victoria, only 750 of them pay the poll tax. The remaining 2,750 dodge tho tax gatherer—a proceeding in which thoir similarity of facial expression materially aids them. A peculiar feature of their life iu the wost is their complote independence of tho laws of the country. At Quesnel thoy try their own criminals, nnd they frequently compromise even important cases.

It is generally considered that in such matters a government should be very much guided by the samo principles and considerations which regulate private business transactions. As custodians of tho people's property they are supposed to turn it to tho best possible account. In deciding where a land Bale shall be hold, they are not presumed to be actuated by souiiment, or influenced by sectional or political considerations. Whore will the sale bo likely to prove to most successful —realize most money for tho owners, the people? Thst'b the question. Now, let us see whero auction sales of town lots owned by private individuals on tho mainland have usually been held, Whore wns the auction salo of Emory town lots held? At Victoria. Where wns the auction sale of Port Hammond town lots held? At Victoria. Where was the auction sale uf Kamloops town lots hold? At Victoria. Where wure tho auction sales of Port Moody town lots hold? At Victoria. Where are tho owners of tots ut Hastings and Granville at this very moment advertising their auction salo to be held? At Viotoria. Will our esteemed contemporary on thu banks of the Fraser undertake to say that in all tbu iustau job quoted the owners made a mistake iu selecting Victoria as the placo for holding thoir respective sales? Or will ho assert that the govornment should throw business considerations and principles to the winds, and bu influenced hy sentiment, mawkish sentiment at that, iu the mattcr of selling lands which belong to the whole province? We understand that a publio auction Bale of New Westminster bits will shortly bo hold by the govornmont, and wo think it would be highly proper, if not financially advantageous, to hold thut sato iu the oity wheioin tho lots lie. But when the sale comes to bo a preliminary ouo of town lots at tho terminus of thn Canadian Pacific Railway on Burrard Inlet the case is entirely different. Tho Bite itself was not considered the most suitable place for holding thu first, or preliiuimuy sale, althuuuh thore is littlo doubt that future sales will be held thore, and tho auctioneer (the chiof commissioner concurring) decided that Victoria was, all things considered, tho best place to bold it. And we venture tu think that unbiassed publio opinion will he un the Bide of tho auctioneer, although it would perhaps be too much to oxpect our Now Westminster contemporary to tako that view!

Dear Friends.—Permit mo through the medium of the prues to invite yonr attention to our Rand of Hope school which meets ovory Saturday afternoon, at half-past 2 o'clock, in tho lecture room of the Methodist Church, Mary street. During the hot and busy summer season we have met but once a month; but now the nutmiin lias returned we desire, with renewed vigor, to make our weekly gatherings as attractive aud instructive as possible. Our school is entirely undenominational and 1111 sectarian -it is simply a temperance school, conducted by the ladies of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, representing, as it does, all the churches of tho community who aro willing to unite; the object of which is to teach tho children of our town the nature of alcohol and the consequent effects of its use; also what tobacco and opium are and their effects. Iu inviting you to send your children to our school, we wish to inform you that thoro is no necessity for them -to sign any pledge iu order to become members of it, any more timn the children of our Sunday schools uro required to profess conversion boforo they aro admitted to the privileges of a religious education: although, as it is the object of alt Sunday echools to lead the children to become tine christians, so it is our undisguised object to lead nil tho children who study our temperance catechism to become total abstainers from all intoxicating drinks; and when they are sullieieutly enlightou- c(l 011 the subject and desire to come out boldly on tho Ride of temperance, we have a pledge card which they can sign. We bcl eve that as a careful and considerate study of the nature and effeots of sin always produces in a sano mind tho resolve to turn from it to righteousness, so n study of the nature and effects of alcohol will create intelligent temperance priuC'ples in the minds of young and old, and the reason why we meet so many who advocate the moderate use of intoxicating liquor is because the subject has never been made a study and the majority of tho grown up portion of our community are 'ignorant of its component parts. Being members of other temperance societies need prove no hindrance to any one who may desire to attend tho Saturday afternoon school, as they will learn unthiiig there that the 0 'ier organisations could object to. It can but give them an additional advantage, as we have each week some of the vory best singers of our oity who will fool it a pleasure to teach tbe children to sing; aiid in every way we wisely can we determine to make it a pleasure for the children to assemble together.

The Syndicate getB a grant of somo 7,500 or 10,000 acres of land that is already worth from 8500 to 91,000 per acre, taking as a basis prices at which adjacent lands aro selling. The lands of the Local government are equally valuable, while private owners are said to have netted handsome fortunes on their holdings. Lots are nut gut in the market. They will rango high, for Mr. Van Homo has assured the people here that ''Vancouver," tho new city, would rank next to San Franoisco in importance on this coast, that many millions would be expended by bis company in the erection of terminal buildings, wharves, &c. Thus the Dominion govornmont allowod nu opportunity to slip that would realize many millions for its exchequer out of the proceeds of the sales from the landB it should havo controlled on Burrard Inlet.

Mrs. Eoginald Vernon's boya woro always in mischief; and Hester, who had something of the boy in hor, took tu them with genuine follow-feoling, nnd after a while began to help thom iii their lessons (though she knew nothing horself) with groat effect. Sho knew nothing herself; but n clear hond, even without much information, will easily mako a path through the middle of a schoolboy's lessons, which, not- witstanding his Latin, ho could not have found out for himsolf. And Hester was a "dab at figures," tho boys said, and found out thoir sums in a way which was littlo short of miraculous. And there was a littlo Bister who called forth all tho toudoi- parts of Hester's nnluro. who had boon a baby on her tirst appoaratico at tho Vernonry, and to whom the girl would gladly have made herself nurse and governess, and everything that girl could be. Little Katio was ns fond of Hester as of hor mother, and this wus a wonderful solace to tho heart of the girl, who was a woman every inch of hor, though sho was so much of a boy. Altogether tho atmosphore was bettor on that sido of the establishment, the windows looked on tho common, and the air ytee fresh and large. And Mrs. Reginald, if sho would havo cared for it, which was doubtful, had no time for gossip. She did not pretend to be fond of Oathorine, but sho was respectful and grateful, a now fooling altogether to Hester. She was busy all day long, always doing something, making clothes, mending stockings, responding to the thousand appeals of a set of healthy, noisy children. Tlie house was not so orderly as it might be, and its aspect very different from that of the refined gentility on tho other side; but tho atmosphere was batter, though sometimes there was a flavor of hoots iu it, and in the afternoon of ten. It was considered "just liko the girl," that sho should thus take to Mrs. Reginald, who had been a poor clergyman's daughter, and wns n Vernon only by marriage. It showed what kind of stuff sho was made of "You Bhould not let her spend her time thero—a mere nursery-muid of a woman. To think that your daughtor should have such tastes! But you should not let her, dear Mrs. John," tho sisters said. "Ilether!" cried Mrs. John, throwing up her hands; "I would not for the world Bay a word against my own child, but Heater is more than I can pretend to manage. She always was moro than I could manage. Hor poor papa was the only ono that could do anything with her." It was hard upon the girl when her own mothor gave her up; but this, too, was in HeBter's day's work; and she learned to smilo at it, a littlo disdainfully, na Catherine Vernon did; though she was so little hardoned in this way that her lipa would quiver in the middle of her smile. The chief resource whicli Hester found on the other side of the Vernonry was, however, still moro objectionable to the feelings <;f the genteel portion of tho little community, Bince it was in the other littlo house tliat sho found it, in the society of tho old people who wore not Vornons at all, but who, tjuite unjustifiably, as they all felt, being only her mother's rolatioiiB, were kept there by Cather- . ine Vernon, on tho money of the family, (lie money which was hers only iu trust for tho bon«fit of her relations. Thoy grudged Captain Morgan his home, they grudged hiin his peaceful looks, thoy grudged him the visits which Catherine was supposed to pay oftoner to him than to any one else in the Vomonry. It is truo that tho Miss Vevnon-Ridgways professed to find Catherine's visits anything but desirable. "Dear Catherine!" they said, "whnt a pity she lias bo littlo manner! When she is absent one can recollect all her good qualities, how kind sho really is,, you know, at bottom, and what a ihing it is for her to have us hore, and how lonely she would bo, with hor ways, if she had not us to full back upon. But when she is present, roally, you know, it is a struggle! Her manner is so against tho poor dear! Ono is glad to see her go, to think tlmt is over; it will be some time beforo slie cun come again; for sho really is much better, far bettor, than she appears, poor dear Catherine!" ThiB was how they spoko of hor; while Mr. Mildmay shrugged his thin old shoulders. "Catherine, poor thing, has too much the air of coming to see if our houses aro clean mid our dinners simple enough," he said. Even Mrs. John chimed in to the goneral chorus, though in her heart she was glad to see Catherine, or auy one. But thoy were nll annoyed that sho should go so often to tliose old Morgana. Thoy kept an account of her calls, though they made believe to dislike them, and when the carriago was hoard on the roud (they could all distinguish tho sound it mado from that of any other carriage), they all calculated eagerly at what house it was duo next. Ami whon, instead of coming in nt tho open gato, whicli tlie nld gardener made hns to to open for her, as if he hud known her secrets ami was aware of lior coming, she stayed outside, and drew up at the Morgans, nobody could .imagine what a commotion thoro was. Tho sisters nislmd in nt once to Mrs. John, who had a i window round the corner, and watched to see if it was really true, und how long Catherine stayed. Thoy made remarks on the littlo old gentleman, with his white hend, when he came out to put her into the carriago. "What hypocrites some people are," they eried. "We are always ns civil as ever wo can be, und I hopo dear Catherine, poor thing, always feels tliat she is welcome. But to mako bo- lieve that we have enjoyed it is more than Martha or I am equal to." They watched until the fat horses had turned round and Catherine's bonnet wna no longer distinguishable, "That is the third time in a month, to my certain knowledge," Miss Matilda would Bay. "Be thanktul, my dour ladies, that it is on old Morgan, not on you, that Bhe bestows her fnvora," Mr. Mildmay would remark. Mrs. John was not always suro that ■he liked thia irruption into her house. But she, too. watched with a littlo pique, and said that Catherine had a strange taste.. "Oh, taste, dear Catherino! shu has no taste! her worst onemios nover accused her of that," the other ladies cried. And when it was known that theso old Morgans, the captain and his wife, whom Catherine Vernon distinguished in this way, had gained the heart of Hester, tho excitement in the Vernonry was tremendous. Mr. Mildmay Vernon, though ho was generally vory polite to her, turned upon his heel, when tho fact was made known to him, with angry contempt. "I draw tho lino at the Morgans," ho suid. Much might bo forgiven to tho young girl, tho only youthful creature (except Mrs, Reginald's boys, whom he dotested) among them, bnt not this. Tho sisters did not, alas, pass it over so briefly. ' Thoy themselves had novor taken uny notico of the old couple. The utmost they had done had been to give the old captain a nod, as thuy did to tho tradesmen, when ho took off his hat to thom. Mrs. Morgan, who nover went out, did not come in their way, fortunately for hor. So strftngo was this departure on HeBter's part from all tho traditions of the placo that, to do them juBtico, thoy would not believe in her iniquity until the fullest proof had been secured. But after sho had beon seen about half a dozen limes, at least, seated in tho round window which commanded tho road, and was tho old gentleman's delight, and even, strange girl, without any sense of shame, had made herself visible to everybody walking with him on the edge of the common, and standing talking to him at his door, thero was no further possibility of doubt on the subject. Tho only thing that could bo thought of wns to cut Hester, which was done accordingly by all tho garden front, oven hor own mother being wound up by much exhortation, ns for tho advantage of hor daughter's soul, to maintain a studied silonco to tho culprit, by way of bringing her to hor souses. But it may be supposed that Mrs. John did not hold out long. A more effectual moans of punishment than this was invented by Mr. Mildmay Vernon, who declared that it wns a very clover way of currying favor with Catherino, and that ho only wondered it had novor beon adopted before. This, indeed- touched Hester to tho quick; but it did not detach her from hot- old friends. The objects of all this enmity wero two very simple old peoplo without any protciision at nil, who wore vory willing to live peaceably with nil men. Captain Morgan wna nn old sea-captain, with all tho simplicity of hoiuoly wisdom which _.. often characterizes his cIubs; und his wife a gontlo old woman, entirely devoted to him, and, by this time, not capable of much more than to keep tlie record of nil his distinctions and to assert his goodness. It was ho wbo holpod her down stairs overy day to tho chimney corner in tho winter, and in summer to tlio largo chair in tho window, from which sho could sec everything that went on in the road, all the people that passed, and the few ovcntB that happened. A conviction that littlo Ted, Mrs. Reginald's third boy, would be run ovor, nnd an alarmed watch for that incident, were the only things that disturbed her placid oxis tonce; antl that Bho could not accompany him on his walks waa her only regret. "Ho dearly loves somebody to walk with," sho said; "except when ho was at sea, my dear, I've gone everywhere with him; and bo misses mo sadly. Tako a littlo turn with the captain, my dear." And when Hester did that which so horrified the other neighbors, old Mrs. Morgan lookod out after them from the window and saw the tall, slim girl walking by the Bide of the stooping old man with a pure delight that brought tho tears to her eyes. When you nro ovor eighty it does not take much to mako you cry. Hester, who was the Bubject of continual assault in overy other place, was adored and applauded in this little parlor, where thoy thought hor more beautiful, aud goud, and clover, thau over girl had been before. The old captain, who was screwed and twisted with rheumatism, and stooped with age, held himself almost straight when his young companion started with him upon his daily walk. "When a young lady goes with mo," ho said, "I must remember my manners. An old fellow gots careless when he's left to himself." And he told Hester stories uf all the many-chaptered past, of tho long historic distances, which he could remember like yesterday, nnd which seemed endless, like an eternity, to hur wonderim/ eyes. He had been iu some of tho old sea-fights of tho heroic days—at Trafalgar, though not in Nelson's ship; and he liked nothing better tban to fight his battles over again. But it was uot theso warlike recollections so much hb tho scraps of his moro peaceful experience which entranced tho young listener. Sho liked to hear him toll how ho had "got hold" of a foolish young middy or nn ablo seaman who was "going to the bad," or how he had subdued a threatened mutiny, and calmed nn exeitemont, and of tho many, many who had fallen around him, whilo ho kept on—fallen in death sometimes, fallen more sadly in other ways. A whole world seemed to open round Heater as ho talked—a world more serious, more large, than this, iu which thero wore only the paltry events of the day and hor foolish littlo troublea. In Captain Morgan's world there were great Btormsand iightB; there were dangers and struggles, and death lurking round overy corner. Shu used to liaton, breathless, wondering at tho difference- for what danger was there, what chance of mortal peril or temptation, here? Iu that othor Universe the lives of hundreds of poople would sometimes hang upon the decision and promptitude, tbe cool head nnd ready resource of ono. Why was not Hester horn in that day? Why was not she a man? But she did uot sufficiently realizo that whan tho men Worn ;-(iing ilm-ugU thou-- perils the mothers and sisters wore trembling at homo, able to do no moro than she cuuld. After theae walks and talks, she would go in with the captain to pour out his lea, while Mrs. Morgan, in hor big chair, restrained herself, and would not cry for pleasure, as sho was so fain to do, "Oh, my dear, it was a good wind that blow yuu here," the old lady said. "The trouble it has boon to me not to bo able to go about with him! Indoors wo are tho best companions still; but he always liked his walk, and it is dreadful not to bo able to go out with him. But ho is happy when ho has a young companion lino you." Thus thoy made a princess of Hester, and attributed to hur every beautiful quality under the sun. When a girl is not used to enthusiasm nt home, it does her good to have somebody believe in hor and admire all sho is doing. And this was what mado her strong to bear all the jibes of the tine poople, and even that dotcBtablo suggestion that she meant to curry favor with Catherine. Evon the sting of this did not move her to give up her old captain, and her humbler friends.
