A clear atjd vigorous writer in tlio Inland Sentinel takes exception to what Mr. Homer saitl in Parliament upon the respective merits of these two passes through tlie Rocky Mountains. The chief ground of objection''nrjJeuVngitinat the more southerly pass is thiit, owii;g to the absence of channels of communication, the trado of tin's Province would be shut out and' the'supplies would be drawn from Oreghn and Washington Territory during railway con- etruction in tho "Big Bend region," The imortance bf this ground will be at once admitted. But while we contend that it is a sacred obligation resting upon the Dominion Government to see that this great work is carried on in such a manner us to cause the immense expenditures to contribute in the highest possible degree to the permanent well-being of the oohntry, it mny bo a littlo too much to expect that this consideration shall absolutely govern in such matters as the selection of a pass , through the Rocky Mountains. The period of construction must pass away; btit the railway is forever I But it has appeared to ua tlmt the advantages of Yellow Head have been magnified in respect of. benefits to accrue from construction; aiid it is not impossible that the natural obstacles in the way of similar advantages from Kicking Horse have also been made the most of. Given the absence of any reasonable means of communication between our food producing areas and the Big Bend region, it absolutely follows that onr "trade will lie blocked off." But is it essential that British Columbia shall rely entirely upon nature to open ti|: 1 avenues for her trade? Oun one not imagine conditions in which a finger might be put forth to supplement the works of nature in this respect 1 j To b» leas figurative, twenty miles of road would connect the navigable waters of Shuswnp with the Columbia river, and thus open up the "Big Bend region" to the trade of British [ Columbia, That piece of roud would | run through Eagle Puss, the con- template! route nf the railway. Now, it. has occurred to us that it would not be too much to expect the " Canadian Pacific Railway Company to open a waggon road through Eagle Pass, as .a preliminary work, so as to establish faoile communica- iou with our food-producing districts. The road could be so con- 'atructed as to be utilized in making the railway, and nny trifling uddi [tional expense involved would be far more than compensated by ihe advantages to the Company of 'ree access and cheap supplies—to tay nothing of the ultimate advantages arising from a peopled and prosperous, a traffic contributing country. It seems perfectly clear to Mt that the railway company would only be studying their own true interests lit at flint opening up this Way by which the produce of Bt itish Columbia could be cheaply and ibundantly supplied to their workmen in the region referred to; for not only is. it their interest to have 1 plentiful Btijiply, but to contribute [awards building up prosperous and productive communities which shall ultimately swell the traffic of their ailway. Were such a road made in ,me onr producers and traders routd havo no occasion to fear coin- vttltion from tho other side of the oundary line. Instead, therefore, (f unprofitable disputations about in merits of these routes, would it it be our true wisdom to have such 'presentations made in the proper tarter as will be most likely to He- ire the .timely uttention uf the impany to--; the subject I As has en stilted, it is the true interest d policy of the Company to do ia thing. But we may be pmuiit- I to think that, at a time wheu so teh is being yielded to their shea, it would hot be altogether reasonable to expect them to con- le this much for the good of the mtry. .' BOH . British Columbian. VOLUME 21 FEW WESTMINSTER,, jmmaJu RDAY, MAY 20, 1882. NUMBER 40 F The Kicking Horse. On the 18th ult., tho Minister nf Railways introduced a bill authorizing the construction of the Canadian Pa- cilia Railway through some other pass than the Yellow Bead Pass, It is already known tlmt Mr, Burner, Member for this District, delivered his maiden speech in Parliament upon this question. The following is his speech, as reported in Hansard t Mb. HOMER.—I do not intend to occupy the attention bf the House at any length in makings a law remarks on the question before the House. In changing the route of the Canadian Pacinc Railway from the Yellow Head Pass to tho Kicking "Item Pass, 1 believe the Government"will not only contribute to the profits of the' Railway Co., but will benefit the interests of 'British Columbia in particular and tho Dominion of Canada in general. The country through which the road will pass by, taking the southern route ib much more valuable in mineral, agricultural and grazing lauds than the region of the Yellow Head Pass. It will develop the grazing lands nnd the agricultural lands lying to the west of the Rocky Mountains. It will also be easy of access to the well-known Kootenay gold mines, and will .decrease the rate of transportation, so as to enable the extensive deposits of rich lead ore on the Kootenay lakes to be developed with advantage and profit to those who invest capital in them, and will also add to the country a very important industry It will thence pass on to what is known as the gold quarto, bearing regions of the Big Bend, which only requires cheap transportation to make.it profitable Lo-the country. It will then pans on to what, is known as the Cherry Creek silver region of British Columbia, which is looked upon by all experts as the j_'reat future silver region of British Columbia. This is one of the resources nf British Columbia wliich requires only cheap communication to its development. From this silver region the line will pass on to tho fertile valley of Spallinucheon and Shuswap, giving an outlet to an extensive grazing and agricultural country which surrounds the Okanagon Lakes. It will then nana through the well-known-Kiini- loops district, connecting Savona's ferry with the second lino now under construction, and nt which point the line to the Yellow Head Pass will terminate. The region at the Yellow Head Puss contains but very little mineral; but it does contain a comparatively large extent of agricultural lauds; but as these lands'are nil accessible by water there is not so much necessity for a railway as there is through the southern, district.' By adopting this southern route you not only develop this important section of country but you will create a large way traffic which will support tho road as soon as it is completed. It will thus prevent the south-eastern portion of British Columbia from passing into the hands of our neighbors to tho south of us. At the same time it will secure a portion of the trade south of the line, whieh could not possibly be secured if the.road came by the way of Yellow Head Pass, and the House will seo from these facts the advantage to be derived from the Government adopting the southern pass. In placing the subject before the House the Minister of Railways read the following telegram received that morning by Mr. Drink water (tho company's secretary) from Mr. VanHorn (the company's manager): "Major Rogors reports that thero is no question about, feasibility of -rood line with easy gradeB through Kicking florae Pass although work wilt be very expensive. The crossing of the Selkirk Range is the only thing in doubt, but explorations have progressed sufficiently to justify belief that they can be crossed by uso of some long tunnels. The worst that can happen iu .case of failure to cross Selkirk is, that the line may be forced round the great bend of the Columbia, which would considerably increase distance; but to save this distance work will be undertaken that would ordinarily bo considered impracticable on account of expense, W. 0.

The necessity (or it bridge over this stream where the trunk road intersects it has been so frequently pointed out in these columns that we run some risk of tiring our reader* by reverting to it now. But where such important interests are involved the Colcmman cannot remain silent, In former articles the great inconvenience, expense and even danger in respect of through travel and traffic, especially during the season when navigation on the Fraser river is closed, hue been pointed out, A fact or two may be mentioned with a view to showing that these conditions are not confined to through traffic nor to the close season. During the last days ef the winter which has just made such u reluctant exit, Mr. Vedder lost one thousand dollars' worth of stock and was put to three hundred dollars extra expense in consequence of the absence of the bridge. The reader may be incredulous ; but we have excellent authority for making the statement, and we have not time to enter into details. We merely state the fact. Settlers in the neighborhood are constantly subjected to very serious inconvenience nnd both life and property are exposed to no little danger on the same account. Quite a number of settlers have to cross the stream every time they go to church or market, and to cross by means ef canoe or raft is no easy matter. At certain stages of the water it is absolutely dangerous. Some of the tattlers have to cross to their daily work, and the unharnessing and swimming of horses and the like involves no little inconvenience. The children of settlers on one side are unable to attend school from the same cause. Several narrow escapes from drowning in attempting to cross have already been chronicled. We have another to announce now. One day last week a traveller on toot arrived at the house of the settler nearest the landing on this side and made known his desire to cross. He was told that there was a canoe at the landing and he might cross himself, as the settler was busy at the time. He attempted to do so, but was carried down stream into a dangerous part of tho river, and about an hour afterward the farmer was surprised aud shocked to see him walk into the house, presenting very much the appearance of a drowned rat The fact was, he had narrowly escaped drowning. It msy be proper to explain that the stream is a very difficult one to cross, being a swift current, with perpendicular, in many places overhanging, hanks, and very few places where a landing can be effected with safety. There is excellent authority for say- ing that less than two hundred dollars would suffice to do the work; and yet the Government have never thought it worth their while to order it to be done, notwithstanding that the settlers have urged and urged the matter upon the attention of the Chief Commissioner until utterly tried and disheartened. If another twenty or thirty thousand dollars' worth of cement were wanted for a dock which even the local organ admits "can never be a cent's worth of benefit to the tax-payers," it would be ordered instanter by telephone. Or if a bridge on any pleasure-drive near Victoria were to give way, a gang would be at work on it the vory next day. But here is a bridge wanted on the main trunk road of the Province, for lack of which life has been risked, property sacrificed, and hundreds of people subjected to great inconvenience and loss; and although the comparatively trifling sum of two hundred dollars would amply suffice, tho Government have persistently refused to have the work done! About a month ago the nc credited plenipotentiary extraordinary of British Columbia at Ottawa, amidst a storm of "Oh, ohsl" from both sides of the House, spoke of this as ''a province that has been oppressed as much as ever Ireland has been," and told his amused and disgusted listeners that "when th* time cornea for the people of British Columbia to raise historical monu ments, they will raise one to th* perfidy of Caneda." Such language Editorial Notes. There waa a sort of scramble amongst our capitalists, a few weeks ago, for a charter to build a branch railway connecting thia city with Port .Moody. What has become of the project? Ib it to go no farther than the passing of a bill through the Legislature? Wagon-roads are all very well in their way; but if ever New Westminster is to secure the trade of Port Moody it will not be by means of A wagtfon road, We would not wish to bo understood as expressing the opinion that the trade of Port Moody will justify tho building of a railway; but if we did, we should certainly advocate tho construction of such railway at once, and not wait until trade shall have found other channels. "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure." It will be remembered that, in re. porting the failure, of his last mission to Loudon, Mr. DeCosmos strenuously urged the Walkem Government to make yet another appeal to Downing- street against the Dominion Government. HU silly Philippic in the House of Commons a month ago, when talking about "the perfidy of Canada," would seem to indicate the eagerness with which he is longing for another six thousand dollar job. He told "those hon. gentlemen" who were laughing at hia stupid nomense that thoy would "find their faces on the panel" of the "historical monument" Columbia would raise to "the perfidy of Canada." If ever a monument should be raised to the folly of Columbia, surely on its panels shall be found the names, if not the faces, of DeCosmos, Walkem & Co. the womb of futurity. It is, however, a substantial guarantee that this important industry is to be properly cared for, and that it will be perpetuated and expanded. We, of course, assume that the hatchery will be properly established and efficiently administered. As respeots the throwing open of the railway reserve, there exists a difference of opinion about the utility of that step. Incredible aa it may appear, there is one man on the Main, land who is suffering so severely from what he terms "internal calculus" as to imagine that it would bo batter to keep these lands still barred and bolted. But thnn that man opposed Mr. Homer'a election. IN THE SUPREME COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. IN PROBATE. In the Goods of GEORGE GARRY- PIE, Deceased.

LL PARTIES WHO HAVE claims against the said George A; The Colonist complains that the Attorney-General has so arranged the holding of the Mainland assize courts as to suit his own personal and political purposes at the sacrifice of public convenience and economy. It has been customary, and it is undoubtedly convenient, to so time the holding of the assizes in the interior tu that counsel can go front one to the other and bo that one Grown prosecutor may be able to go the rounds of tlie circuits. But in this instance it has been so arranged as to render that impossible, the assize at Barkerville being fixed for the 24th July, while that at Kamloops is Bet down for the 20th. Our contemporary accuses the Attorney-General of having so arranged the mattor in order that lie may have a plausible excuse for going up to Cariboo at the public expense to attend to his own election—assuming the election to come off about that time. AH we have to say is that those who know the Attorney-General will have little difficulty in accepting the Colonics theory. "Just like him," will be the verdict of the people.

Reverting to the subject of incorporating the area lying between Fraser river and Burrard Inlet, the fact ought not to be lost light of that a very large land tax revenue which now goes away to Victoria would come into the municipal treasury undor incorporation. The mill companies alone contribute quite a bit of revenue under that head, and there is besides that a large amount of land held by absentees subject to the wild land tax. If all these amounts, together with other revenues that would be available, wero judiciously expended where raised, as ought to be the case, it would make a wonderful difference. And in view of railway and other developments, it is of vital importance that the territory in question should be thoroughly openod up so that communication between the two water-ways may be such as to afford every facility for trade and traffic. It should be opened up, too, in order that its fertile acres may be brought under cultivation and made to contribute their quota towards feeding the thousands engaged in railway-making aud industrial pursuits. If incorporation would tend to the promotion of these objects, by all means let there be incorporation. Tlie announcement was made a few days ago that tho Dominion railway lands were to be thrown open for settlement. To-day we make the farther announcement that a sibnon hatchery is to bs established and the snails which impede and endanger navigation on the Lower Fraser removed. These are three things which Mr. Homer promised to advocate, and it must be admitted that, even should he have done nothing more, he has nlrendy rendered good service to the District. Even those who opposed his election must admit that much. And the Co- lumbian may lie oxcuaed for indulging in a little self-felicitation over the circumstance of its having long and strenuously advocated those three measures which Mr. Homer has been so success* ful in obtaining. Tlie importance of the establishment of a salmon hatchery it would be difficult to over-estimate, although the practical results lie, and must necessarily for some time lie, in NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the Channel through the Sand Heads of Fraser River has shoaled in places, having 10 feet at low water ordinary spring tides, near Nos. 1, 2, 3, 7, 12, 13, and 14 buoys. This sounding should not be understood to mean the low spring tide of the freshet season, during which time the tide will be 2 to 2J feet lower, with a rise and fall of 12J feet. No vessel drawing ovor 8 feet should enter this channel at low water during the freshet season. The buoys should be passed at about i-cable distant. F. REVELY, Dept. Marine k Fisheries. Victoria, B.

Frequent enquiry It being made about these landa—who it administering them and tht mod ns operandi by which desiring settlers shall get on them. These lands are not yet being administered by Anybody, Mr. Homer hat succeeded in inducing the Government to place them in the market. It it to be hoped no time will be lost in doing that. We presume that upon plaoing theso lands in tho market, tho Government wilt appoint some one to administer them, and most likely regulations and conditions will then be made public in tho usual way. Meanwhile we do not see how these lands can be got at by those desirous of settling thereon, We certainly cannot advise anyone to have recourse to "squatting," because the Government cannot be expected to respect so-called squatter'a rights upon surveyed lands. In view of the anxiety of so many people tn enter nptm the lands referred to, it it certainly tho duty of the Government to make all possible haste in having them properly administered. But we have no doubt the importance of this will have been dulv impressed upon tho htad of the Department at Ottawa, tt- It you want a first-class Piano or Organ, go to T. R. Pearson * Co.'s.

Tlie gentlemen composing tho Board of Trustees for the public schools in this city arranged, or thought they arranged, with tlie Works department as to tlio dimensions of the new building so long promised nnd supposed now to be uu the eve ef erection. It was to have been a subatHittiat two- storey building, thu ground Hat affording two good large school-rooms, much larger than those now in iiise, with convenient class-rooms; the upper flat to remain unfinished till required—the whole forming the main building of the group uf educational buildings of the future, Tlio department had the very beat assurance that the cost of such a building would Jie w«ll within the appropriation underatuird to be available. But when the plans and specifications reached tho Trustees the other | day, their astonishment was great to find; that the dimensions had < eon so cut down as to make tlie school-rooms considerably smaller than the old ones, nnd leaving no acope for cluus-rijiinis. Iu other words, according tn the plans, the new school-house would actually atlofd less accommodation than thu old! Under these circumstances, the Trustees fett it to he their duty to protest against this departure from the original understand i'ng and disregard of the requirements and necessities uf the community. What wiil come of it remains to be seen; but it is perfectly extraordinary how niggardly the Government become when dealing with New Westminster. ntf. ..- ■«-— steamboat Enterprise. The company commonly known as the "Pioneer Line'* is about to take the form of a joint stock company, and tho stock will be on the market very soon. The immediate object of the change is to place tho concern upon such a broad and strong basis as will enable the expanding trade and wanU of the Mainland to be fully met. It cannot bo denied that the Pioneer Line has kept well up with the march of progressive development, and that it poBieuos all those elements aud qualities which go to make up a live and enterprising steamboat company. But it is thought that the growing trade and traffic have now reached that point at which it would be advisable to expand and consolidate the steamboat interests nu these inland waters, io as efficiently to grasp the present ami be fully prepared io moot the future. There can he no doubt that the stock will be eagerly taken up. There is nothing experimental about it. While other attempts of the kind have gonu to* the wall, it hns been fully demonstrated by the able and popular manager that the Pioneer Line can be made to pay handsome and regular dividends. Of course stock will be taken beyond the bounds of tho operations of the company. Indeed there is roason for believing that considerable will be taken in Portland and San Francisco. But we should be glad to think that most of tho stock will be taken on tho Mainland, not only be* cttdso of its profitableness in the more direct sense, but because it ia tit-ting that it should be as much as possible under the control of those most largely interested in the less direct sense. We have no hesitation about predicting for the stock of the consolidated Pioneer Line a favorable reception and a lively demand. In a short time the public may expect a more definite announcement in connection with this movement. —-— ■*» ■•' — Ireland. In the House of Coinmom on the 11th Lord Harcowt introduced the new bill for the repression of crime in Ireland. The measure appears to be a very stringent one, giving unlimited power of search and arrest of suspects, suppression of secret organizations and unlawful gatherings, &q., &c. Tho measure* evoked a stosm of indignation from Parnell,.Dillon & Co. Parnell denounced it.as worse than all that-foul gone before, and predicted that it would result in a hundredfold greater failure. Hb spoke In extreme bitterness, making the impression that he had discovered that the Uo-.-eminent had dut-hianumvefed him, Dillon made a fierce Attack upon tho measure, plainly intimating that if the Government sent another roan, to Ireland to carry out measures similar to that under whieh Foster acted- thu tragedy of Phoenix Park would be repeated. The Government received assurances of support frotn the Opposition, nnd the bill passed its first reading by a vote of 329 to 22—the minority being exclusively composed of Homo Rulers. Meanwhile Irish affairs have been rendered still more perplexing and tho current of popular sympathy materially affected by the publication of a blood and thunder proclamation by the "Irish Republican Brotherhood.-' The document is dated Dublin, May 8 Here is the full text of the doou ment:— To the Irish people, and all lovers of liberty, nnd particularly our Brothers of thu Irish Republican Brotherhood and kindred associations, As thero seems a grave misunderstanding as to the aim and scope of the late executions at Dublin, we, the executive of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, request all aforesaid to withhold their opinion of this matter for the present, and refrain from expression of sympathy at public meetings which' tend to humiliate Ireland and give aid and comfort ,to England. As to the monster Burke, he.had preyed upon the lives and liberties of his country men for many years, aud had deserved death a thousand times at our hands. As to Lord Frederick Cavendish, lineal descendant of the infamous Lord Brougham, whu hanged the gallant and patriotic MacEagan, bishop of Ross, at Carrigodohid, because he would not betray his couiitry, his vory name stinks in the nostrils of the Irish people, by the iniquities of his brother, Lord Hartington, and wholesale- evictions of his father, tlie Duke of Devonshire, thereby driving thousands of rightful owners of the soil to tlie poorhouso, exile and death. This organization has tolerated the vagaries of Parnell and his safe treason mongers until he has tilled the has tiles of our country with victims by liis useless parliamentary agitation, w'hich Has left 20,000 persons homeless last year and drove millions of our people to exile. This ceases to bo harmless when a truce is made by which he himself and his friends are allowed to go free nud eighty of Ireland's bravest sons are left tu languish in prison, to bo exiled or assassinated, and these are the men who by so-culled "outrages" opened the prison doors to Par- null aud his friends. If England really wished to deal fairly by Ireland why not issue a general amnesty by which the prison doors would bo opened and thousands of our exiled brethorn who noiv'pinii'in foreign lands ooilld return in safety and honor. Instead of this, Gladslonu sent emissaries to the venerated head of tho Catholic Church, who by lion and false representations have deprived thousands of our poor, persecuted (1people of the comforts of religion by turning our altars into political platforms. Lot ns ask the people of Ireland, are there nu clasfies of people to he considered except farmers; and uf what avail will it be to Ire- laud if a selfish class is firmly rooted in the soil and becomes thoroughly loyal to England ? We ask friends in America to ponder upon our desperate circumstances, to think of a bravo and honorable people driven to despair by witnessing the bosoms of mir women torn by the bayonets of English mercenaries and our children of tender years shot down in the highways, while our wails of aiiguisli are Btiflod in blood. We are-convinced no true propriety can exist in Ireland so loug as England holds' her custom houses and is allowing her manufactures to pass into Ireland duty free, thereby leariii- our Irish mechanics unemployed am an enormous war tribute exacted by England taking awuy the produce of tho land, thereby forcing the Irish people to starve, flfow, furthermore, wo call upon all our brethren in Aiifflffica, particularly advanced Nationalists, to aid by every means in their power those who hare carried out their execution, and we hereby further declare they deserve well of their country. By order of the execu tive of the I. R. B, In replying to A deputation of the Dublin chamber of commerce mid Bel fast corporation, ou the 12th, Earl Spencer read a letter written by Lady Cavendish in which the following touching outburst of heroic patriotism occurred;—"I would never grndgu the sacrifice of my darling's life, if it only leads to putting down the frightful spirit in Ireland.' Hu himself would never have grudgod it if his doath could do more thnn life." Earl Spencer saiif, "England is determined to do justice to Ireland with a devotion equal to, though not surpassing, that so tragically cut short. Then from the darkness of night there may rise a bright day." It is becoming evident that Parnell, Dillon and Davitt have fallen between two stools, so to speak, and that they could wish things ns they were rihd themselves buck in "British basti.es." Tho determination of the Government to pursue a firm and vigorous policy, on the one hand, and tho apparent determination of tho "Brotherhood" to accept nothing short of separation, loaves theso would-be leaders in a vory perplexing position; and, now that they have again ostracized theiiHroIvcs from the Government, nnd are dewitincud by the "advanced" Irish party aa traitors to tho cause, their position is not-at all to their liking. How far theso fresh complications may operate against the success of the policy of the Government remains to be seen; but Mr. Gladstone seems determined to firmly repress crime with one hand while granting sweeping roforms with tho other, nud in this policy he would appear to have the nation at his back, British Columbia Agency of Toronto Safe and Lock Works, J. & J, Taylor.

Judith was not at first alarmed, nor Mrs. Aveson, who was in every sense of tho word "a friend of tho family." In the intervals of their exertions the woman asked; "Miss -Judith, tell me, is it true, what old Mr. Whaley says ? Was the old squire's will so very unjust?" "Vory.unjust from a moral point of view, Mrs. Aveson. Legally, there was no fault to bo found with it." "It's a bad hearing. Do you reiilly moan that ho has left all to that black- looking young man ?" "Yes, (ill.™-Ho is his grandson. 1 know nothing of whore he found him; yos, I do, though. Ho must have soon him when we ware at Irkford a week ago to-day! But I know nothing of what passed between them. All I know is that this will was mado the night ho died " "Ay! Wo wero witnesses, mo and John Heseltino, who happened to be in the kitchen at tho time. Had I known how it was going, never would I have signed. It's u crying shame! People have no right to act in that way, I say; though he was my master, nnd I liked him well enough for all his quoer ways. And this stranger, ho's no Aglionby in looks, except that he has n glint of tho eon something like old master, and ft twist in tho mouth that's a bit akin to him that's gone. But that long, thin body, and that lean black face! No Aglionby was over Hko that before. I don't know how wo shall tak1 to him,.I'm sure. M'ap- pen we'll have to flit."" "Oh, I hope not, Mrs. Avoson, or wo shall have lost all our friends, indeed! Dot sue! is Bhe not coming round a little!" Tho hope was deceptive. For two long hours Mrs. Conisbrough lay without consciousness, until her daughter, without losing her presence of mind, began to grow almost faint with fear, and Mrs. Aveson openly expressed her opinion that Mrs. Conisbrough was either dyad, or in a trance that would end in death. Sho wont out of the room at last, in Boarch of some restorative which occurred to her mind, and to look up tho road at tho back in tho hope of catching sight of tho doctor on his roadster at tho top of the hill, and it was during this absence that at last a flicker of lifo appeared in the lips and eyes of the unconscious woman. Hor eyes at last opened, slowly and fully; she moved them deliberately and blankly round, fixed thorn upon Judith without appearing to recognize her, and said, in a toneless voice: "Bpiimrda told me so, uncle. Sho said thoy would tako him, and that sooner Ihnn touch a crust of your bread she would starve." "Mother dear, it is I. Yon are at Scar Foot. Try to remember." "And if you had only waited that morning, instead of going off in a passion without leaving mo timo to explain, I could havo told you all about it. But you wore solfish and tyrannical to tho hist, to tho last! Oh, dear! It is a weary, weary world, and weariest of all for women that are poor!" She turned hor face to tho wall, and closed hor eyes, but Judith saw two largo tears force their way from undor tho lids and courso slowly down her cheeks. AU her soul wont out in love and pity. Her mother's wandering remarks wero for the moment forgotten, though thoy had at lirst struck her as strange and inexplicable. "Bernard..!" Surely that was tho name of the woman hor undo Ralph had married. This grandson was called Bernard, too. And her uncle in a passion with her mother? What did that moan? But sho could think of none of theso things now; she could only think uf her mother, and wipe her eyes, and kiss hor hand, nnd conjure her to look up. To her great relief, too, she hoard tho sound of a horse's hoofs, und directly afterward the doctor was in the room. The doctor's orders woro what Judith had expected. Hor mother must bo carried up stairs and put to bod, where she must havo tho most absolute quiet and repose. A state of tho most alarming weakness and prostration had succeeded to the intense agitation and excitement which had brought on the attack. It was long before all was arranged, and before Dr, Lowthor could lenvo his patient, white nnd weak and hardly conscious where alio was, or what was going on around hor. He promised to call tho next day, Sunday, enforced again and again thu necessity for the most absolute rest, Btrictly forbade almost all conversation, and departed. Nevor had Judith experienced suoh n feeling as overwhelmed hor when sho waa at lust left alone with her mothor in the bedroom—tho well-known blue bedroom which she had occupied many a scoro nf times—with the lamp lighted on the table, and the dusk nut-aide rapidly gathering into darkness. When tho Inst echo of tho horse's hoofs had died away ovor tho hill, there fell upon tho placo a silence utter and profound, such as can only ho known in tho vory heart of the country—far away from men that strive, from clanging bell; remorselessly summoning the multi tudoB to tlieir toil, from railways that deafon, and traffic that makes weary tho heart of man. Sho went to the window—the broad deepest wiudow- and l*aning ono knee on the window seat, she curved her hands upon the pane into a kind of arch, and pressed hor aching forehead upon them. Indistinctly, by tho light of a young moon, Bhe could seo what Sir IJedivore called "the waves wap, and tho waters wan," of silent Sheumimcre, nnd the shadowy forms of the great fells on the other side, nnd ono solitary, steadily burning light from tho village of Busk un tho hill ncross the lako. It was beautiful, and she loved it- loved it dearly; but was it always to be thuB ? Was her project nover to bo larger than this) and even this sho now no more felt to be her own. Tn the house of her forefathers she hud suddenly become n strangor, a casual guest, and every hour that sho now passed there was like a fresh load upon fier heart. Surely there must be some way of getting out of it all. Even now her mind was busy with thoughts of •scape, as tlie minds of prisoners and caged birds are wont to be, and will be, to tho world's end. Sliennamere, and Scar Foot, and Yorosett, and her own homo, and this existence, which was neither lifo nor death, without either tho fullness of the ono, or the repose of the other—they hud long boon bitter realities to her; would the time ovor come when they would seem as a dream that lias vanished ? Would sho over bo able to look back upon thorn from some height attained, of usefulness, or hopefulness, or successful endeavor, and to say with a smile, "Once upon a time I had no more than those in my life; no prospect wider than Shcnnamore Water and Haydale- side Fell I" The wonder, the longing, tho strenuous effort to force the future to lift its veil, wore nt that moment more passionate, more intouso, than sho had ever known them. Hard hours she hud passed, when hor heart had fretted ns if it must burst with impatience to snap its bonds—bitter hours of solf-interrogation, "Why am I horo? What was I horn fori Who wants mo ? What ia thero for mo to do ?"' Such hours as thousands of young women fight through or sink under every day that dawns, in this glorious kingdom uf England, under the model laws, protected by the immaculate social institutions of which wo are io proud, in ths grandest and greatest of great empires. Somo, whom Fortune favors, coino out of the storm into a clour haven, hut generally battered mure or less. Others are rescued by a man's hand; they marry, havo children, and rear them, and we aro wont exultantly to point out those cases, and to say, "See, would you alter the laws under which flouish so beautifully all theso talonted women who make money and earn honorable fame; these happy wives and mothers, loved and looked up to by husbands and children nnd friends r Wo are chary of enquiring whether the talonted and successful authoresses and artists, the happy wives and mothers, may not have attained thoir proud position rather in spite of than in consequence of some of our supremely wise and benevolont legal and social institutions, and we must distinctly do not turn to tho other Bide and look over the hedge into that gray twilight country whero tho failures dwell—tho withored-up old maids; the disappointed stragglers after fame or even independence; the heaps and heaps and heaps of lives manquees, of vitality crushed, of promptings of intellect, or talent, or genius repressed—tho dreadful limbo uf tho spirits which have failed to make good thoir claim to a placo in tho world. Judith Oonlsbrough, though Bhe did not put the situation tangibly before herself, even in her own mind, vaguely felt herself trembling on the brink which divides those two worlds; for it is a narrow ledge, though we trip so carelessly along it; trembling on the verge of that path wliich separates the "successful women,' "the happy wives and niothera," from this holocaust composed of tlie failures; of those who had not found favor in tho Bight of the world or of men, and who had withered, or were withering away without having known nny joys, whether of love and maternity, or of published books,* pictures that sold, or establishments that succeeded. Somotimes she viewed the matter in ft half-bantering, half-cynical way, and was inclined to Binilu—at the failures; but* to-night deeper emotions wero astir—she felt in deadly earnest: sho could soo no smiling Bide to the matter; she told herself that sho had boen Buffered to grow to womanhood in tho hope that an old man would leave her somo of his money when ho died; that ho had died and left her none, and that she was worse than useless—bIio was as a withered tree that cumbered tho ground; that sho must make a struggle Boon, nr it would bo too lato; and sho asked herself by what right had those who bad doomed her to this fate done so ? Thus sho stood, leaning ngalnst tho window, hor eyes straining out into the night, her heart beating fast with a vague excitement, her spirit stretching invisible hands toward heaven, uttering an inaudible but passionate, ter- riblo cry, "Lord, help me!" A footstep behind her roused her; she turned, bewildered, ns one wakens from a dream, and saw Mrs. Aveson. "Miss Judith," said she softly, "you're doing wrong to be standing hero, tiring yourself, and you'ro in want of food. You've tasted neither bite nor sup sinco broakfast-time, Go ycr ways down into t1 parlor, nnd there you'll find something to eat, as I've got ready for you. Now go, honey, and I'll hide with Mistress Conisbrough tho whilo. And don't be in any hurry back again. I've naught to do. Go and rest a bit. You'll want your strongth." "Thank you very much, Mrs. Aveson," sho said in a voico weak from fasting aud exhaustion following upon excitement and suspense. Mrs. Aveson took her seat by the bedside, and Judith slowly went down stairs and into tho parlor—the fatal parlor in whieh she had endured so many hard blows. How pleasant it looked! How coxy and homely, and dear it was, with tho glowing, generous Yorkshire lire, aud the bright lamp, aud tho oaken rafters and panels; the white cloth ou the table, and the inviting little meal which Mrs. Aveson had spread for her— coffee in the old square Bilver cooflee-pot, and cream in thu ancient ewer of the same shape; the whito and the brown bread and buttor, tho egg and tho marmalade and the cold fowl—creature comforts, no doubt, and infinitely buneath the dignified notice of a romance-writer of the highest order, but to Judith the sight of them was overpowering. Thoy wore so exactly what nha had always boen usod to see- at Scar Foot; they wero what hnd boon at hor service nil tho years of her life whenever she came. thoro, and now thoy every one belonged to a straugor, one with whom, she foresaw, they woro to be at Btrifo—at daggers-drawn —•unless her mother's hitter resentment subsided; this stranger's broad sho was forced to oat, to sustain bodily weakness, with a feeling that it would almost choke her. Truly, it Roomed as if she were destined to eat her bread with tears, and she foresaw no ond to the grief that was in store for thorn all. (To l'o Cont In doit.) T. R.
