Mi-J -Gladstone':*! experience, ns ri Prime' Minister hns'hot b'K^iS luippy; From the moment upon which lio enteral upon the task of forming n ministry he 1ms been beset with difficulties nud disappointments. We beliovo n largo majority of the ciVi- lizod world gives him credit for thorough honesty of purpose, nnd a conscientious regard for personal und national rights, and his embarrassments may bo credited lo extraordinary circumstances rather than to nny weakness or dishonesty in his administration. Gladstone's greatest care has been, of course, the adjustment of Irish affairs j but there are other matters which have required all the resources of a skillful stiites- inan.and leader. The complications which have, lately grown up in Egypt demanded, prompt nnd do* decisive notion. Gladstone- noted promptly and energetically, ulid his ■actum met with applause from almost every quarter. Hut in the hour of apparent success a new embarrassment presents itself. John Bright disagrees with his colleagues on Bri- Iain's. Egyptian policy, nnd resigns liis seat in the cabinet. Ju doing so Mr. Bright is said to have justified his course bythe plea that the attack on Alexandria was uncalled for and wholly indefensible. He said he was opposed to sending the fleet to Egypt originally for any political reason. He considered that England bad no business tointerferein tho internal affairs of Egypt, having no serious interest there except InMieSiiez canal-, nnd the canal was never menaced by Arabi or anybody else. He believes that the massacre on the 11th June \vas largely provoked by tho presence1 of the English (leet. He regards the continued presence of the fleet, wit! 'constantly increasing numbers of foreign men-of-war iu a friendly harbor, as itself a menace and unfriendly not. Tho motive of sending them, namely, the pro tec! Sou of British subjects, was a good motive, but matters were so arranged that the ileet became a source of danger rather than n protection. 'When asked what the fleet should have done after Admiral Seymour Iind delivered the ultimatum and Arabi promised to discontinue urmuuients and (hen broke this promise, h*: answered that we had yet beard but one side of Hie story, and he seemed inclined to discredit the report that the electric light showed that the troops were continuing work. He insisted-, Iidw- t'ver, tlmt these details were comparatively unimportant. Tho real muse of his resignation was the use of force which was not defensible ou moral grounds. "For 40 yours," said lid, "I havo told my countrymen that morals wero the true basis of politics. 1 have denounced war. I should lmvo been false to my pi inciples had I be- •oomo a party to a war which was begun without necessity." Tho resignation of Mr. Bright will be n oevero blow to tho Gladstone Government. Eor some timo the existence of that Government seems to have been threatened continually by tlio cottiplications arising out of tho truth question, and it can ill nflbrd o lose either moral or substantial lipport. It is not believed itiiy othor nembor of tho ministry difiseuts rom. Gladstone's Egyptian policy, Itliough it is reported that nmiiy jibe'rul members express extreme it-row and dissatisfaction at tho otribnrdment of Alexandria. Scientific iilisfccl-huu).

Tho Acronautioid Society of Groat Britain proposes holding an exhibition next year to show what progress has been made toward a solution of tho problem of aevinl navigation. An estimate of the quanfity of sediment oarried down by Olimo-iu rivers indicates that if the doposjt continues at lhe present rate the Yellow Rea 'will bu converted into dry land in 30,000 yours. Fossil remains lately found in France prove that a group of > mamfttals winch existed in tho latoE'Jt.euo period united many of tho characteristics of pigs with those of monkeys—an association of characters of peculiar interest to students of evolution. Colors fade undor the influence of the electric light us in sunlight, but M. Docanx finds that tho oflbct is weaker. With an arc light of 200 candle-power, tho influence upon oil and water paintings and colored wool seemed to be about one-fourth as powerful as sunlight, influence. Tho size and wei»ht of the human brain are absolutely greater than in any animals except the elephant and the larger whales. The brain of tho elephant is said to weigh from eight to ton pounds, and that of a large Honor whale between fivo and six pouudu. Relatively to the bulk and weight of the body, the brain nf man is exceed td ni size only iu smile small birds and mammals. Tho electric light hns become so important a feature in building operations that the Eoyn! Institute of British Architects ,in considering tbo merits of the various systems with reference to architecture, and is trying to decide upon the expediency of ro- i i'pliriug its students to pass an ox- j aminatlon in pliys',m) scielico as a ! preparation for the study of electrical apparatus. ClaS and electricity have combined to produce light in a new system. A strip of platinum foil ia su arranged iu connection with a burner lis to be boated when the gas is ignited, the platinum then offering so much resistance to an eloiJtrio current passed through it as to bo raised to incandescence and in turn giving to the gas a very high leniperatiiro and causing it to bo entirely uonsiunod. By the aid of a small current a very brilliant light is said to 1)3 -^juducud with a groat economy of gas. Experimenting to determine tbo order iii whieh the notion of the viui- oiiii orgiins of tho body ceases in asphyxia, M, Pint has concluded that the exact instant of death is very dilli- cult to determine. The movements uf respiral ion lirst cease to be apparent, then the boating nf tho heart beeouios less frequent, the pupils of tho eyes dilate excessively and tbo cornea becomes insensible; but theso are only apparent signs uf death, for after they have appeared iu dogs tho aniioals have been restored to life by artificial res [ii rat ion. Renewed confirmation of tho infectious character of con'sumpthm has boen obtained by M. Giboux. Tu tho experiments made, nil* which had been expired by consumptive animals was introduced twice a day for 105 days into a wooden ease Ci.'utaming young rabbits, the case being olosed each time for two hour*' to prevent access of other air. Tlio result was the formation of tubercles in tho lungs of tbo l'abbits. Other rabbits, " similarly treated excopt that tho infected ait* Was passed through carlnili'/.ed wadding, remained entirely unaffected. Two methods of Utilizing (ho power of sea-wavea have been proposed. In the systuul of M. Gallon en. the rise and fall of a large final, produce enrres- ponding niotiups of a bell-shaped iron vessel by means uf 'plillbysi As this vessel rises air is drawn through valves in its tnp and as it falls tho air is forced through pipes into a compressing reservoir. By tho ether plan, suggested by .Prpfi Weft nor of Brim, a species of air-trap in the sea-wall serves as au air-compressor under the boating of tho waves. Prof. Wolluor produces motive power from tho compressed air by running a pipe from tlm reservoir under an air wllool (resembling nn overshot watoiMvhoul) immersed in walor. Tho air displaces tho water1 from the cells and drives tho wheel round whilo expanding and rising to the surface Under a common lens a fly is seen enlarged to several tiilies its ordinary size, and it is often inferred that a mioroscopo having a magnifying power of a thousand diameters must transform the insect into a winged mastodon of huge proportions. This is not so, however, for tho reason that undor a strong magnifying power tho range of vision becomes very limited, nud it is iinpo.*isibIo to view more than a very small p'urtinn at a timo of so largo an object as tt fly. Tho diamotor of tho sii-callod field o'f view of various Microscope objectives lias booh measured by Phin, with the following results: With a magnifying power o.f twonty-livo diameters, tho field is about a quarter of an inch; with fifty diameters, it is nne-eighth of an inch; with oi'e hundred diameters, one-sixteenth of au inch; with fivo hundred diameters, one-eightieth of ail inch; and witli one thousand diameters, tho one-hundred- and-Iiftioth of an inch—-a space Which is ordinarily invisible to tho miked eye. With tlio most powerful microBcupos, therefore, it is useless to expect to examine all at once any object visible to the unaided eye. R. T.

Next Monday tlio electors of British Columbia wiil decide who shall represent thetn in the new parliament. Tbe questions of policy which chiefly concern tlio people have been very freely discussed iu tlie columns of this journal, and we have no doubt tbey are fully understood by tlie mass of the electors. As un independent ,journal the Columman is teady to give its aid and support to any government which addresses itself intelligently and energetically to the honest administration of tlie affairs of 'tlie province. Xt fens been forced to oppose tbe present government because its administration was characterized by neither intelligence, energy nor honesty. It lias pointed out many of tho government's blunders; it has shown how fearfully loose and impracticul many of the government's enactments havo proved to bo; it has deprecated the scandalous waste of our limited reaonrccs on drydocks and foreign missions which were wholly indefensible. Since the resignation of Hon. Mr. Walkem the Government lms literally lost its head—and when the head -is lost the brains go witli it. There is nothing left to bo called a government, Now, it is quite certain that the present apology for ti government cannot eiist after tbe elections, With the exception of Kootenay wo doubt if it will get one solitary supporter from the mainland • and if reports from the "island are to ho. credited it will be in a minority 'even 'there. Nobody knows who will constitute the new government, or who may bo called upon to form it. It will doubtless bo composed of members who are opposed to the Beaven administration. It is of the greatest importance, therefore, that tlio electors should send to the new parliament tliose candidates who tire best qualified to represent them. From among these members the new government must be formed, and no one can tell from what district they may be selected. Every representative to the neat parliament should be a man who is capable of filling an office in the, ministry, If the electors exercise their franchise with tho same wisdom and discretion whieh would be ■ exercised in a matter of business personal to themselves, the now government and the parliament would be composed uf the best available men in the cduntry. Wc hope no elector will fail to poll his vote. Time at this season is precious, we "know, but the loss of a few hours •may bo vory insignificant iu comparison with the interests involved in this election. In this district there is no government candidate. The duty of all electors is, therefore, very simple: vote for two of tlie best men. will certainly bo very large. Mr. Anderson gives the approximate valuo of tho plant of tho British Columbia canncYios as follows :— Findlay, Durham & Brodie, $15, 000; Adair tt Co., §25,000 ; Delta Cannery, $25,000; B. C.

Tho Opposition are represented us having combined in a scheme to oppose all island interests for the purposo of -securing inninla'nd sup- •porfc to defeat "the government. The capital is 'to fee removed to New Westminster, the island railway is to bo abandoned, and the graving dock is to go to the dogs. This may suit the Standard's peculiar notions of political stratagem, but we can scarcely think it will take to any ■extent even on bhe island. The people of the mainland have certainly no desire to -retard the progress and development of Vancouver island. Thero would be nothing to gain, ■and much to lose. What we w.yit is our just rights, and these we mean to lmvo. We want a gov. ernment tlmt will do jus't-ice to the mainland farmers instead of jumping through the constitution to squeeze from them exorbifcrrttt taxes for missions at Loudon and bail cement at Esqnimalt. Wo want a government that will keep the trunk roads in passable repair and cstab 'isb a ferry across the Eraser. We want a government that will place the financial aflah's of the province on a sound footing, so that the legitimate revenue may meet the expenditure without saddling the people with burdensome taxation or a heavy provincial debt We want a government that wiil adjust the ropresen tation to the population and resources of the various districts. If the Walkom Government had done theso things, and hud shown itself eapabl and honest iu the management of our affairs, it would have received tho hearty support of the poople aud of the Columbian. Our Fisheries. Editorial Notes. In four Manitoba constituencies elections for the House of Commons-* were held on the 4th inst. The Globe of the 11th claims that in three of these —Marquette, Lisgar and Selkirk—Ko- fnrni members wero oloetod, and the Winnipeg Times (Tory) admits that tho result in a decisive verdict against the Government of Sir John. The Pacific Railway Syndicate monopoly and the disallowance of Manitoba Acts by tho Dominion Government are doubtless responsible for this result. Tho Syndicate has mado itself very unpopular in Manitoba. A supplement to the annual report of tho department of Marine nnd Fisheries has just been issued at Ottawa. It contains a statement of the fisheries of tho Dominion, aud much interesting information on fish. A considerable space in tho supplement is occupied by British Columbia, made up mainly of the reports of Mr. A. C. Anderson, Inspector of Fisheries in this Provinco. Last year Mr. Anderson made an extensive tour up the coast, examining all the fisheries, and his reports are quite voluminous 'and interesting. Mr. Anderson reports the British Columbia fish product of 18S1 as $1,454,321 exported and $4,885,000 consumed by the Indians, making a total of $(1,329,321. Tins product is larger than that of any other province in tho Dominion by $114,640. Nova Scotia ranks next with $0,214,781; then comes Now Brunswick, $2,930,904; Quo- bee, $2,751,962 ; ' Prince Edward Island, $1,995,289 ; Ontario, $509,- 903. Tho total fish product of tho Dominion in 1881 was over §20,- 000,000, being a increase of $1,317,- 182 over 1880. Tho increase of the iish product of British Columbia for 1881 amounted to $740,986, and the ilioreuso for the prosont year In its last issue the Guardian makes two false announcements which it hopes will induce the electors to vote against Mr. John Robson. Ono is that tho Victoria Colonist is "bitterly opposed to New Westminster city and district," and the other is that "Mr. Robson and tho Colonist are ono." We need scarcely point out how utterly untruo both of these statements are. Every reader of the Colonist (and thero aro many of them in this city and district) knows that no newspaper published on Vancouver Island is more friendly to Mainland interests. It is not necesBary to add that Mr, Robson has no more connection with the Colonist than with the Guardian—end that is certainly not much! lint the Guardian supports a party which lias persistently and shamefully neglected the interests of this city and district as everybody well knows. The Opposition havo virtually pledged themselves to do justice not only to this district, but to tho Mainland generally. Tho Colonist supports the party in Opposition, and bo does Mr. Robson.

Gentlemen:—The numerous aiices of support which I have received from all sections of the District hare YiYdmpted me to offer myself «s 1\ candidate at the approaching election for the Legislature. 1 nm opposed to the present Government because their polbiy has not been in accord with the wishes iind tlie deli-' berate judgment of the people Their blundering mismanagement of the Dry "Dock has precipitated the Province upon the verge of bankruptcy. Their DeCosmos" mission to England was impolitic and indefensible. It exhibited base ingratitude to the'Dominion Government at a time when they were > using tlieir utmost endeavors to fulfil their obligations to the Province and the mission has simply resulted iu alienating the sympathies of our hwst friends and has incurred the scot-n of the i^ster pro- - vinecs. Their Land Amendment Act of 1878, which places in the hands of tlie Executive the power of "eviction" and "confiscation" after only three months' winning, hud not a shadow of JusViligation in the premises—no possible pretext' for proeceiHti-js so heartless and so arbitrary, it was 'a deliberate -and unprovoked attack upon the froedom of 'tlnyeli-ctor-U'e- ami deserves the reprobation of evory fanning community, in the Province. If elected, I shall advocate »« equitable redistribution of Seats in the Legislature; relief to repair tbe damages done to roads and bridge** in the recently Hooded portions uf the District; the keeping of all trunk mads in repair at the expense of* the Government; the devising of means to lift the dr.y-doek Incubus from the shoulders of the Province; a wider application of our municipal system, in order more economically and effectively to grapple with our much needed Improvements; and any general measure which has ha* its object Tlm advancement of the interests of the District. I shall consider it my duty to support any Government which maybe formed who, discarding sectional predilections, evince an honest determination to work for tlio general interests of the Province, and'ah-ill endeavor to act in harmony with my CqHed^uOB of the District and City, always, however, reserving to myself the right to exorcise an independent judgment, untmriimoletl by the pretensions of any individual or clique. 1 hopo to form a personal acquaintance with the most of the electors during my canvass and shall hike pleasure iu discussing more fully questions of local and general interest.

In its last issue the Guardian selected Mr. Orr and Mr. Ladner from amongst the six Opposition candidates now running for New Westminster District and advised tho voters to elect them*— notwithstanding tho fact that the published addresses and oral utterances of those gentlemen arc as pronounced against the Government as those of any of the six.

THE DRY DOCK. The published reports of recent Investigations intd the management of affairs-connd'ete'd with this work, while showing a deplorable want of .foresight and judgment, if not honest}*, on the part of the Government, amply prove lhat a continuance of the same policy would lead the country into seppus financial distress. Vou will remember that the dock was specifically provided for in the Tenns of Union, und it had no ntbt'e right to become a .cjtargc upon the Provincial revenue than any of the oilier works mentioned iu liiesc Terms, Indeed, it was upon the solemn assurance of the Provincial Government that the dock "would not cost the Province a dollar" that the Legislature was Induced tc sanction the scheme wliich has lei! to such disastrous results, Upon thia work has already been squandered several hundred thousand dollars of public money which should have been applied towards the construction and maintenance of roads and bridges and the establishment of schools in the settlements ;* anh* according to present appearances, the waste of our revenue upon the dock will cv cced half a million before the work can be brought to completion, to say nothing about perpetual demands for maintenance. It Will, therefore, be amongst the most important duties of the Legislature lb devise some means of lifting ihis intolerable burden entirely off the shoulders of the Provinre. CHINESE LAHOH. When in the Legislature, ten years ago, 1 was the first to direct attention to what is now known as the Chinese Evil. Willi great difficulty 1 succeeded in having Chinamen excluded from the political franchise. The very party now In power succeeded in defeating' my efforts to exclude them from the country; and amongst .those who now talk the loudest against the Chinese 1 observe some who were at thai period \ho strongest opponents of repressive measures. . Had timely and robust eflbrts been put forth there is no reason to dout that, instdah* of a yellow CURSE in the form of ten thousand Mongolian slaves draining the wealth of ihe country into the pocket's of their foreign owners, wc should have had a white BbESSINfi iH the form ol" at least an ctpia! number of our own race, helping t'i enrich the country ami build up happy and prosperous communities. To devise and apply a remedy for this now universally admitted evil will constitute one ol" the problems with which the new Legislature will be called upon to deal. Recent effort in that direction has never risen higher than political clap-trap and street- corner declamation. Kl-.r. BY POP. The doctrine of Representation bj or according to population—the old war-cry of Ontario thirty years ago- Is one which must commend Itself tc every fair-minded person, altliougli there mav be circumstances undei which its full application would scarce* lv be practicable. The time has come when there should be a nearer approximation to that principle in British Columbia. Pining Su: last Legislature we saw FIFTEEN electors in Kootenay sending lo the House exactly the saini; number nf rcprcsetilalives that liiiiin ItuKDUttt) electors in the Valley .61 the I''raser were alldwed to send! An attempt I" give your District some approximation to the representation to which Its voting power and jm* mense resources entitled il was defeated bv the casting "otc of a partisan Speaker; and yet the men who pcirn*- traled .thai glaring act of injustice have the assurance lo ask you for a fresh lease of power! Such monstrous Inequalities in.lhe . representation of the country must be j remedied! and should 1 have the honor ol" being elected as one 6f| your representatives; I shall make il my especial business to insist upon 'justice being done to your important District in this respect. ■'*■ FISCAL TO'LICY. Through the laziness and incompetency of those ia power the fiscal affairs of the country have been allowed to drift into a condition the reverse of satisfactory. The wretched patchwork of upwards of a decade must be replaced by .something deserving the name of "policy." At present, "How to raise most revenue with least trouble" would appear to be Uie problem with Which the Government lias been wrestling; and the consequence is that, while taxation falls with crushing sevcrilv imon farmers—tKe very class which sin mill be most lightly taxed—the least product!^e clpsses escape almost'scot free. Taxation is inevitable, Revenue is essential! But-U should be. the earnest endeavor of a Government to so apportion taxation as that it shall fall lightest upon the industrial classes. and so expend revenue j*l? thpt tlie permanent interests of lhe country snail be promoted. The whole fiscal fabric of the Province needs reconstruction, runi.ic: 'tVOUKS*. It is admitted on all sides that the Public Works of the country have buen allowed to fall into a condition little short of disgraceful! -Much care and attention will be required to remedy this state of things. A judicious, though not necessarily heavy, expenditure ought to lake the place pf Unwise and ruinous parsimony. EDUCATION. While believing iii a comprehensive system, of slate education which shall meet the reasonable wants of every settlement, 1 feci bound to condemn some things done under the present system—more especially the provision by which the children of the wealthiest, and, consequently, feast necessitous, conimun'ity receive a free high school education at the expense of the taxpayers, while those of settlers (the most important element) are in man} instances left absolutely without any provision whatever for the feducatififc of their offspring. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. Judges are made for the People,— not the People for the Judges; am1 the Legislature .should insist upon such a disposition of the Judges as will most conduce lo the public welfare. There should also be established without delay such a scale of remuneration for' pclit jurors and crown witnesses as will be equitable and just to all classes of Her Majesty's subjects. ■ ISLAND RAILWAY, Through the glaring incapacity and inexplicable chicanery of those entrusted with the conduct of affairs, the Island Railway question probably never was in a less satisfactory condition than it is to-day. While 1 feel assured that there is no disposition on this side of the Gulf to see those on the other side deprived of any possible advantage that might accrue from lhe construction of that railway, yet it is quite certain that any attempt to make it a charge cither directJy or consequentially upon the Provincial revenue, or to make it in any way interfere with the completion or terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway, wOuld meet with a very determined opposition; Oi'il FEDERAL RELATrdNS'. While strongly asserting the Provincial autonomy, it should be the aim of our Government and Legislature lo cbcilsh arid maintain relations of a friendly character with a friendly Federal Administration, and avoid useless and -expensive appeals from ils deliberate and authoritative decisions, as far as is consistent with lhe just claims of the country. To maintain at considerable expense at Ottawa an '■Agent- General" whose services are of doubtful utility, whose eccentricities arc liable to place the Province in a false position, and whose extreme section; alism must disqualify him as a representative of the WHOLE Province, is, lo say the very least, unwise. It is contrary to the genius of our institutions and unfair lo our constitutional representatives in the Federal Parliament. RAILWAY MATTERS fiKNF.UAI.I.Y. The work of constructing the Canadian Pacific Railway, solongdelayed, is now making satisfactory progress —■although one class of labor employed Is anything but satisfactory—aha there is ovcry reason 10 hope that before the Legislature ndw about tb be constituted .-hall have run its natural course that railway will span the continent Many new pleasures nf a,prpgrfe5sivc character will undoubtedly be nebes sarV to meet the altered and ever im- proving condition of the country. \\ hctiier one looks to the present ex tremely Unsatisfactory condition ol affairs, superinduced hy a too long term in office of unscrupulous men, or at the not distant future so pregnant with important results and momentou:- possibilflics, one is constrained to ad- mil that the supreme epoch in flic history of our Province is near, and that if ever there was a time when the Services of the country's best mer ivere needed 16" guide the ship of state. it is now.

KITH AND Kii ("OpHUiinoil.j Sho took longer walks than her bib tors, went out ofterier alone; penetrated to wilder rocessos, more desolate spots than they did. Sho was', in hev stature rind her strength, n, daughter of the gods, and had always been able to tiro out both her sisters, while she her self felt no trace of fatigue. She did not fe'ai- tho qtraugo and lonely hills; they had a weird fascination for her, and in this hor trouble site was wont often to sook their silent company. Ono afternoon, in a wilder and bitterer mood Mian usual, aliohadgdns out, and walking fast and far, had found herself at last on the uppermost ridgo of a wild mountain road. From where she stood, sho could see on the one h.ind into Danesdale- -her homo, dear to her, despite what alio had Buffered there; on thu other, into grim SwalodtUo—always datk and wild, but, in this winter weather, s-iviigo and desolate beyond description. Just below hor, in the mountain side, wore some ghastly holes in the limestone, of tho kind known in Yorkshire us "pots;" all wero grim-looking apertures, but closo to where Judith s;tt, sho saW the jaws cf one of them yawning at her; it was the deepest of all- no ono had ever succeeded in fathoming it. Both Rhoda and Delphine disliked the spot, which indeed had u bad inline, as being dangerous to traverse after twilight, nnd haunted furthermore by a "boggart," who dwelt in the biggest and deepest limestone "pot." Judith had never feared tho place. Sho sat there now, easting au occasional glance at tho ugly hole, with its ragged jaws, and hor thoughts gathered in darkness and bitterness. She had been reading a book-—a biography, one out of several volumes lately lent to her by Dr. Lowthor. It was the Loiters and Memoirs of a certain great lady, then not long dead. Thin great lady had been shrowu from her earliest youth into tlie midst of the gay and busy world. Sho had lived at Courts, and for many years her companions' had been courtiers. Even that had been a busy life. Even its recital made Judith's heart throb with envy ns she read of it; but when the narrative went on to rolato how this lady met it great statesman, politician, and party-leader, and married him, and how her house became a rendezvous for every kind of noted and illustrious man and woman, and how for tho rest of hor long career, not a day, scarce an hour, remained unoccupied; how to the vory last the game of politics, that most thrilling and best worth playing of all games, remained open to her, and she coutinued to bo an influence in it—then it waa that Judith felt her restless longings grow into a desire tu do, so intense as tn be.almost toituro. This afternoon, alone on (he hill-iop, sho thought of it, and redacted: ■ . "Smuo women have that—they have everything, and others have nothing. I. do not want that. I should be thankful for n very little for a few hours of daily work that must be done—but I cannot get it. It ia not right—it is not just that any one should tie doomed to a life liko mine. How am I .different from others? I aril as much liko other women as Shylock, though a Jew, was like Christians. Yet I have to do without almost everything which other women of my condition have; and I may not oven work like women who * aro burn to labor. This woman, whoso life I havo road, was :i clover woman— a born woman of the world. I am not that, 1 know, but I have sense enough and more than enough to do somo of tho plain, rough work nf the world, nnd do it woll, if I had it. And I may not, I mayr.it here, and wish I was dead. I may take country walks, and save sixpences, and nourish my mind and soul with wool-work. Oh, what nre women sont iiito tho world for —women liko me, tliat is? Not even to 'stickle fools and chronicle small- beer' it seems, but to do nothing. To bo burn, to vegetate through a term of yeors--—to know that there is ii groat living world somewhere outside your dungeon, and In wish that you wero ill it. To eat your heart out in weariness j fo cotisuino your youth in bitterness; to grow nour and envious, and ..Id and wretched, to find all one's little bit pf enthusiasm gradually grow cold. To cam only for the-warmth of tho lire,- and the creature oofnforts tlmt are left, —to linger on, growing more tired aud moro fretful, nud then to die. It is worse than that iron room which grew every day narrower, till it closed upon its initiate and crushed him to death— much worse, for that was over in a few weeks; this may last fifty, sixty years. If this is to be my life, T had bettor rend no more. To live that life, ami not go mad, ono wants nn empty head, au ignorant mind, and n cnutcuipl for all intelligence, ami T am by somo hideous mistake, destitute of all thoso qualities." She smiled In letter mockery of herself; she felt n kind of grim ootltompt for herself. Ami she looke'd again to- 'ward the niuulh of tho hole in thu hillside, She rose up, wont up to it, anil stood beside it. A head tliat wns nut very steady must have reeled on looking down into the silent blackness of the ohasnij from whose subterranean d,opths strangely tortured pillars of gray rook ascended, clothed near tho surface with tho must exquisite mosses and ferns, of that, delicate beauty only found in limostone growths. A few fronds of hart's-touguo fern were yet green; a few fairy lufts of the cobwebby Oystop- terisfrafiilis, nnd some littlo plumes of the black maidenhair spleen wort, "You beautiful little fringes round a sepuleherl" thought Judith. "If I mado a stop down thero, my grave would recotvo me aiid hush mn to sleep in its arms. No *mo would ever know, I should rest ipnetly thore; and who could hnve a finer tomb 1" Sho looked around again nt the wild fells; still, grand, and immovable. From hor curliest childhood her imagination had always commoted certain imagds with certain hills. Addlo-. brough, down below there, at tliu other sido of Danesdale, was like a blacking- brush iu iiotno way. I'eiihiU was smiling; it reminded her of sunny days nnd picnics! Hlront Whertiside, looming dim in tho far distance, was like an old bald head of a giant. Great Shun- ner Fell, at tho head of Swaledale, under ouo of whose mighty sides sho even now stood, had always put her iu mind of secrets, of death, storm, and darkness; perhaps because of the ninny tales she had heard of the treacherous river which was ono of the streams springing from it. Turning again toward Danesdalo, she saw a tiny corner of Sliennamere, peeping out from under tho 'shoulder of a great hill. A faint ray of sunshine touched it. Judith's face changed. Sear Foot was there—and Bornurd Aglionby. "Tm sure his creed never told hiin to throw himself into a holo when things went wrong with him," Said* she to herself: and turning her hack upon Slimmer Foil and tho ugly "pot)" she walked swiftly homeward. As sho arrived at the door of her home a man iu livery rode up with a note. Tt was one of the Danesdale servants. Judith took thenole from him. Me said ho had been told not to wait for an answer, and rude away. Tho ij ito was directed to Mrs. Conisbrough, Judith took it ami gave it to her mother. She opened it, looked at it, and said: "It seems like a card of invitation. Read it, llhoda; I haven't my glasses here." Hhoda road out, in a loud and important voice: "'Sir Gabriel and Miss Danesdale request the pleasure of Mrs. and the Misses Conisbrough's company, on the evening of Thursday, Doc. 31st. Dancing at 8:30. l'"R. S. V. ?.' "How absurd to scud such a thing!'' remarked Rhcda, ffic!,* ing it with hor finger. "It is that horrid, spiteful Pliilippa's doing. I know she hates ns, and sho knows that none of you can go, so she adds insult to injury in that way." "Nonsense, Rhoda!" snid Judith. "Sho has simply done her duty in sending the invitation. It is for us to tako it or to leave it, and of courso thnt meaiis, leave it.' "Of aourse," echoed Dolphine, whoso faco hnd Hushed, and whoso hand trembled so that her work suffered. "I do wish," observed Mrs. Conis- bruiigh, iu n voice of intense irritation, "that 1 might be allowed to have some Voice in thu regulation of my own affairs. I must say, you all forget yourselves strangely. The invitation is addressed to me, and it is for mo to ity whether it shall be -accepted or not. I intend to go to the ball, and I intend you, Judith nud Delphino, to go with mo," "Mother!' broke from both tho girls at once. Mrs. Conisbrough's faco was flushed. There was the sanguine hue, the ominous look in her eyes, which, ns Judith well know, betokened very strong internal excitement, and which Dr. Lowthor hnd repeatedly told her was "bad, vory bad." She felt it was dangerous to oppose her mother, yet she could no yield without a word, to what appeared to her in her consternation an idea little short nf insane. Aooord- gly, as Mrs. Conisbrough did not nnswor their lirst exclamation,'Judith pursued gently, yet with determination; "llow'eau we possibly go?" "What is thore to prevent your going?" asked her mother, trilling nervously with her tenspc n, and with tightened lips and frowning brows. "Wo aro equal to any of those who will lie there, and a great deal superior fo some." "Yes, I know; but the monoy, mother, iu (ho first piano. We can hardly present ourselves iu spotted inusliiiB, nud I really do not know of any more elegant garments that we possess." She strove to speak jestingly, but there was a bitteroamost iu her words. "Pray leave that to me. I am not so utterly destitute as you seem to imagine. Of courso yon will require new drossesj and you will havo tlioin." This information was certainly something unexpected to the girls. Judith, however, advanced her last argument, one which sue hnd been unwilling to use before. "Mothor," sho said, "you know wo —wu nro in mourning. Uncle Aglionby will not have been dead three nionths,and—nnd—overyonewill talk." Mrs. Conisbrough's eyes Unshed tire. "It .h for that Very reason tliat I shall make a point of going," sho said, "I recognize no claim on my respect in that man's memory, I consider the opportunity is a providential one. Half thu country will be at tho ball, ami they shall know—they shall seo for themselves, who it is that hns been, passed'over, in order that nn upstart clerk, or shop-man, or something, mny bu raised into the placo which ought to hnve been inino and yours," "MotherI" exclaimed Judith, Elian accent of agony, while tho other two girls sat still; Dolphine pale again, her eyes fixed on the ground; fihoda looking from one to the other with a startled expression, this being the lirst she hnd known of any dispute between her mother nml sisters. "llosiloul!." said Mrs. Cunisbiongh, turning upon Judith angrily; "nml do not add to my troubles by opposing mo in this unseemly manner. I intend you to go to the dance, nml will Iicnr on further coin plaints, i'leaso to write to Miss Danesdale, accepting her invitation, and let it go tn the post tomorrow. As fur your dresses, there is time enough to think about them afterward." Judith felt that there was no more to bo aaid. She wns silent, but hor distress us sho thought of the coming ordeal, only augmented, until the prospect before her filled her with the most inordinate drpad, In anticipation she saw tho eyes of "half tho country" turned upon them nn thoy entered, and upon Bernard Aglionby, who oiVmurso would bu thero too. It wiih exactly tho kind of thing from which every fiber of her nature shrank away in utter distaste, which attained almost to horror. The whole exhibition would bo useless. It would simply b« to make themselves, their poverty, and their disappointment a laughing-stock for the proanorbuB and well-to-do people who had gossiped over them, and what hnd happened to tliom—-who would, if thoy had had John Aglionby's money, havu received thetu with open arms as old friends, just aa they had already received Ileritard as a new one, (Ti* WGVnllniH"!,) I O.
