I Wxt pitish Columbian. Wcdnr-Hlnj- Morning, Ahr. t»3, 1889, Encouraging settlers. The strong suit of "(lib 'present Government appears to be to squeeze the last dollar out of the Settler. For surveys made long years ago and in respect of whioh it was lievev intended that a change should be 'made, tbe settler is now compelled to pay ten dollars, and for his crown deed a fm'ther demand of five dollars is made. Neither in law nor in 'equilyi-ave the Government a right to demand the one or tho otlnv. It is quite enough that tho settler is required "o pay for his lnni*. \Ve be'ieve the Cue nnd enli^Vterei! policy in a coinil-'y Hire this is to give a fee homestead to eve**y bona Jide settler.

Tlvee or four •years ago the p-esent P.-omior con- 'ceived tbe b-i'Hant idea of ck-liliet- 'ately adding twenty-four per cert. to tbe settler's indebtedness and lchni'^ii?g eighteen pet* cent, hitorost o'.i the accumulated whole. That piece "of Sbylockism was disavowed by the Fede*.*al an tho. ileitis. Foiled in that 'attempt, he next corceived the idea of making tbe sott'er'a lane's delinquent on tbe 30tb -June, a most in- 'convei-ient bo*soii for the farmer, 'Ardimmediuie'y adding some thirty per cent, to tho amount if rot paid 'at that dale, aud tbe Mtnister Vjhuchled in bis sleeve iit bav'irg adroitly outwitted the law. But 'oven that clever device has been declared unconstitutional; and yet liow many settle1 sstilifiiiiied to these Usurious and unconstitutional enactions hefore the si-'ong a- m of justice into* posed 1 The.e is no doubt in 'our mind that if tho two emotions immediately under consideration were submitted to the c-ucinl lest tbey would be found to be erlil'Mly iniconstituiional; but the difficulty is how to Iking them to tho test. The settlets como one by one and , pay the final instalment upon thoir land, having pe- chance had a hard i "struggle to get tho money. Tho extortionate demand is made for fifteen MoIIa'.s which tbey neither agreed nor e-ipected lo pay. Thoy remon- "Btrate, proUst, but finally pay with "n growl, pemdvouttito an oath, and go home discontented aud feeling tbat they have boon robbed by their own Government. And this is the way the present Govornment IiaVo till along encouraged settlers.

The Duke's daughter Beatrice was married to the eldest son of the late Lord Oliesham, Whti hns since succeeded to the title, and 1ms borne "lima ton and heir. Now the Duko limielf has married KuLlioiine Caro- ine, Lord Ohesham's sister. Tho Ihesham boy, Horn in 1878; is the ephew of his new grandmother, who ■ his father's sisior; CQiisequenily his randfather is his uncle. From this follows that his father, boing His hole's son, is his cousin, as is also hia nothor. But it must bo rcmomboreu* - hat, since his fathor niid his mother ro both his cousins he ill ..his own see- ad coiiain.

From observations with the spee'ro* scope and polariscopo since JS.iS, M. !'iazmmv.*-l;i concludes that comets arc formod of a cuiidensod portion, whicli constitutes thu nucleus, surrounded by an incandescent gaseous atmosphere, whicli contains carbon and reflects the Hj'ht of the sun, and of a swarm of loose material which is not controlled by tho comet but moves in obedience to universal attraction. It is reported that in grappling for a cable in iho Pacific oT the Central American coast great masses of trunks, roots aud braiicheB of irccs were drawn up from adopih of 800 fathoms. If tho report proves true tho discovery is an interesting one. Notiher history lior Indian tradition refers to any groat convulsion or submergence of land which could account for the presence of the trees at tho placo where thoy wero found. Prof. E. L. Larkin has demons!rated mathematically that tho fall of the largest comet to tho sun could only bo observed by tho most powerful tol scopes aud bpecirosco'pos, while only tho most delicate h eat-tVioasu ring apparatus could detect -any increase of temperaturo upon tho earth as all effect of iho collision.

It would seem that our local-contemporary has just awaked to the interesting fact that "New Westminster miyht be made n port for such a class of vessels ns tho Victoria and the Sardonyx, if the people would only secure tho stated ■services df a: duly qualified river pilot possessing intimate "knowleilgo of tho channel acquired by constant inspection." Now, we had an impression that New Westminster is a port—lias for more than '-twenty years been a recognized port to which vessels of a much largsv class than thoso named could come and havo come. It is how nboiifc twenty years since Capt. (now -Admiral) Richards, who was specially charged with the stirvoy of theso waters, said of this noble river: "Fraser river, in point of magnitude and present commercial importance, is second only to the Columbia on the nortli-wost coast of America. In its entire freedom from risk of Jifo and shipwreck, it possesses infinite advantage over any ether river on the const, and tlio cause of this immunity from the dangers and iiicon- conveniences to which ull great rivers emptying themselves on nn ex- posod coast are subject, is sullioient- ly obvious. A sheltered strait, scarcely To miles across, receives its waters; and the neighboring island of Vancouver serves as a natural breakwater, preventing tho possibility of any sea arising which would prove dangerous to vessels even of the smallest class. * * * * To the same cause may be attributed in a great measure the fixed and unvarying character of the shoals through whicli this magnificent stream pursues its iindevions course into the .Strait of Georgia* and there can be little doubt that it is destined at no distant period to fulfil to the utmost, us it is already partially fulfilling, the purposes for which nature ordained it—tho outlet for tlio products of a great country. * * * * Vessels of 18 feet draught may enter the Fraser near high water, and proceed as high as Langley with ease. •# # # * i'|ie on]y difficulty is between the Sand Heads and Garry Point, the entrance proper of the river, but while there are competent pilots and tho buoys romain in their positions, this difficulty disappears." ;Such was tho character of the port twenty years ago, and the experience of all these years, during which vessels of twenty feet have como and gone, proves that it was not overestimated. In fact there was never any trouble nbout buoys and channels until Capt. Cooper left. We readily concur in the importance of securing the stated services of a duly qualified river pilot whoso especial business it shall he to look after the channel marks, as well as guide larger vessels, in nnd out, and we would take occasion to point out that this is just ono of the many cases where the usefulness of a Board of Trade would come in. It is to be hoped that tho Pilot Board, now undergoing reorganization, will make this matter one of their first duties; and it is to be hoped, too, that our merchants will promptly realize the importance of establishing a Board of Trade, so essential to the maritime and commercial prosperity of the port. "What's everybody's business is nobody's business." If onr own business men will not organize for the purposo of guarding and promoting the commercial interests of the placo it is hardly reasonable to expect that others will—or that individual effort will step in and do that which combined effort can alone hope to accomplish. It has been said as a reproach that there is no .possibility of the merchants of New Westminster combining for any general object. Let this reproach be wiped out—let tho slander receive prompt and practical refutation by the immodinte organization of a Board of Trade. Until that is done there will bo little hope of properly managing such matters as that which constitutes tho immedinte subject of the present article. Until that is dono it will bo in vain to expect the maritime und commercial interests of New Westminster to bo properly recognized or respected. A Board of Trade would strengthen the hands of our Pilot Board. Esquimau Contested Election. It is not often that we have au election contested in the courts. In deed, so far ns we recollect,* the Esqnimalt election is tho first. It will be remembered that Mr. Hett polled' only one vote ovor Mr. Pooley and got the seat. Mr. Michael Muir, of. Sooke, has petitioned against the return of Mr.'Heft on the ground of illegal and unqualified votes having 'been cast for him, and he claims the seat for Mr. Pooley. The requirements of the law having been complied with and the necessary security (§2,000) given, the matter came before Hon. Mr. Justice Gray on Saturday, when an adjournment till today was conceded to the respondent. The motion "for the collector of voters: for Cariboo boing oxamineiVby commission, reveals the fact that it is believed persons whose names are on the Cariboo voters list cast their votes for Mr. Hett at the Esqnimalt election. It ought to be generally known that no voter "has a right to bo registered for moro than one electoral district at the same time, and that if he is (by his own fault) he not only forfeits all right to vote in either but exposes himself to a penalty of $50. We say "by his own fault," because the law provides that tlie voter has fulfilled his duty if he is able to "prove that before applying to be placed on the list for aii- onother district be mailed a request to the collector for the district where he was registered, requiring his name to be removed. Thero is reason to believe that this vory proper provision has been much neglected; and if it should turn out that even two of those who voted for Mr. Hett at the Esqnimalt election were still on tho Cariboo list, and that thoy had not taken the prescribed means for having their names taken off the Cariboo list before being placed on the Esquimalt list, why, then, Mr. Hett would inevitably be unseated, and unless cause were shown to the contrary, it would devolve upon the Court to adjudge tho seat to Mr. Pooley—for it will be remembered that Mr. Rett's majority consisted of only vote! It is not impossible that the pendency of this case may be seized upon by the ministers as an excuse for delaying resignation. Most people would think it an additional reason for taking that step The Railway Reserve. That the public mind in this part of tho Province is becoming impatient about the inexplicable delay of the Dominion authorities in fulfilling their promise given through our representative during last session respecting tho railway lands, can surprise no one. The commencement of vigorous railway construction between Emory and the sea caused attention to be more than ever directed to tho fertile lands in tho Valley of the Lower Fraser, and, as was natural, these lands have been in great request. But, unfortunately, they are bolted and barred against settlement. They are not in the market, and cannot be entered upon. And what is the result 1 Intending settlors continue to come and go. It is no exagger ation to say that, during the past six months, hundreds of desirable settlers would have taken up lands and entered upon them, had they been available, who aro now in all probability lost to the country, and thus settlement and the development of the most fertile belt of land in British Columbia have been seriously retarded. And the most provoking part of tho story is that all this is happening at a time when the product of every available aero would meet with a ready cash mar ket right at the barnyard. Ship loads of foreign produce are coming in to feed railway workers who ought to be fed from our own fertile acres—and all because the lands are lockod up, Perhaps it would be doing the Dominion authorities injustice to hold them responsible for this delay in placing these lands in the market. It will be remembered that when Sir Charles Tupper wus approached on the subject., lens than a year ngo, lie intimated very plainly that the hindrance was with our own Government, and it is quite possible that the fault still lies at tlie door of the local government. But wherever the fault lies there should be an earnost and determined effort on the part of the people to have all obstacles removed and tho doors thrown wide open on thoir rusty hinges for the admission of settlers.

There is a rumor nn the street to the effect that tho City member has allowed the desire for ollice tn override his judgment nnd professed principles and has actually consented to enter tin mnrihnni-1 minintry.

Now thAt it has been dooided thnt with the Lieutenant-Governor rosta the duty of issuing a writ for an election to 611 the vacancy caused in the representation of Yale by tho lainonted death of Mr. Bennett, it is prcsum-ible that ho unnecessary delay will occur.

Yesterday lib Indian limbed Harry, just sentenced to 1 month's imprisonment for having whisky in his possession, gave tho gaoler "log bail." Mr. Moresby discharged till tlio chtitttbeVs of his rovolvor at tho run-away, but apparently without effect. The fellow ran across to Mary Street, down to Columbia, street, from whence ho reached Front Street nnd, getting on board the Htililuler Gertrude, socrated himsolf bolow in tho stoke room behind tho boiler, whero he was found by Mr, Moresby and taken back to gaol. One nllilising feature of thu chase consisted iu tlio fact that tho Indian (not yot in prison gnrb) was hotly pursiled by a white convict in chain-gang altiro, with tho big prison brand on Inn buck; lustily shouting to thoso oii tlio stroot td stop tho runaway. The scene reminded ono of tho story Of tlie thief running and shouting "stop thief" whon tho hue nnd cry wns raised. This foolish Indian, in attempting to escape ouo mouth's imprisonment, has rendered himsolf liable to twenty-four! Caught n Tartar. No"t content with vindicating the scurvey -treatment which Mr. Edwnid Allon, now M. P. P. for Lillooet, received at the hands of tlie present Premier, the Standard went the length of presenting Mr. Alton in the light of a defaulter to tho Govornment. A very clear nnd forcible statement of tbe caso frill bo 'found fii Sunday's Colonist, wl'jei'ejn Mr. Allen shows plainly that the Govornment owed hiin nearly two hundred dollars for about four years, and that it cost him three times that amount in time and money to get it. He shows, too, the cotl- tetfipiible shuffling and incompetency displayed by tho Govornment in ihe matter; Thirty*' have como to a protty pass whon au honest man hits to wait four years and spend three times tho amount to get his 'just earnings from the Government, i*,ml then to bo "jumped" by tho Governnic'lH organs and branded us n defaulter! But tho organ likfi "caught a Tartar" tliis time,' ♦ The Chinese Nuisance. If the treasury department of. the United States ia experiencing the difficulties which naturally beset tho working out of tbo nut of Congress for suppressing Chinese immigration, the people of San Francisco nro beginning, to realize how difficult it is fur the civic authorities to deal with another phase bf tlio same question. A city ordinance was passed for thu purpose of prohibiting Chiuose laundries ih ccrtttiu blocks. The ordinance caiiie before Circuit Court of the United Stated, wlieii Judges Field and Sawyer declared it unconstitutional. The following is an extract from tho decision: "The business of a laundry is not against good moral"*; it is not offensive to the sonsps; it disturbs not ihe neighborhood where cond(feted, nor is it dangerous to the public safety or health." With one or two unimportant exceptions Ihei'ress severely criticises tho decision. Tho Bidlihin mya: Another Federal decision makes its appearance to-day. Perhapi It will exeito no surprise. Tho nurront lu-a been running fur tome timo in a well- deli uud direction. Thu urdinanco thai is upset this time is known as the laundry ordinance. Thero are Cih'nusT) laundries in many blocks in this city. They are always shanties and are little bettor than tinder .boxes. There aVo no reliable chimneys, nnd much uf the work is done with open braziers. The insurance companies increase the risk whero one of theso dangerous nuisances exists. The Fire Department has demanded their suppression, Tho ordinance to wliich reference has been ■ made provided that laundries cun not ] be carried on east of Larkin aud ISi.m1i ' sireois without tho consent of twelve residents a.id tax-payers of the block in which they aro located, Tho hitter tiro the parties who have to pay the increased insurance naiisod by the laundry, who run thu risk nud wlur, therefore, one would supposo, should decide. But the Circuit Court of the U.iited Stater* has upset the ordinance on lhe ground thnt the business of a person could not bo made to depend upon the will uf his neighbors.. The decision was delivered by Field and Sawyer. It fiiids Tu the face of iho fi'oii that laundries are not dangerous. There seems to' be temper in it, as evidenced by the uncalled-for fling at foroij-n-horn citizens. Thero may bo reason in what is laid down. But wo aro inclined to think that, perhaps, a ditFerent nrliclu would have boon found in iho Stato Courts. Thoro is nothing loft, therefore, but absolute prohibition. To that* the Supervisors can at least refiort. On tho day this decision was promulgated tho Chineso residents were enthusiastically celebrating tho milid day of China's Emperor, and tho Post rocords tho following incident: "Aro tho fin-p flying in colobrntion of the decision of thu laundry ordinancei?" askod ti spectator of n well- dressed Chinese merchant who was standing in front of his closed and decorated store. "Nip," replied the Chiiiaumu, laughing; "bi'it the decision comes opportunely, as we can celebrate two holidays in one. This is thu birthday, uf tho Emperor of China, but tho laundry business in this city is of as much importance to ua as our Emperor's birthday." , ... "Tho spectator Merely said "Oh!" and then in an aside to the reporter, "I had ito idea that nny Chinnman could sling such good English." rHLATOMt i„mt h******-*aft*bwn*****B •^.a*s'T*;*^jg.'j*a:aa-a«-miM'^^ Governor General, nud knowing, unfortunately for ourselves at the prosont juncture, wo have already appropriated nearly all our present year's revenue for other purposes, we most respectfully ask the (Jon. the Finance Minititer if he will kindly .supplement our VeVouuo with §1,000 to aid nml assist ua in getting up a receptiuli befitting such dj&tfrfeuiahcd visitors.

The mooting was 'somewhat hurried aiidgas it wns limited in numbers should havo beon adjourned and tho notide. extended to givo time to secure the cooperation of tlie leading gent lemon of Burrard Inlet and the Surrounding municipalities, and thereby obtained a large committeo at tho outset. Tho proprietors of the canneries (who have tho appliances for a torch-light display) and tlie Indian Agent should also have boon taken into consideration. Much depends upon good feeling and unity in this movement. Again, tho absurdity of a small meeting actually passing a resolution that §1,000 bo taken-from the municipal funds! Whero is tho legrd authority to appropriate tho city taxes for Buch n purpose ? I do not wish to occupy too much of your valuable space, yet I may advert to a correspondent in tho Guardian who, I fear (perhaps unintentionally-), did not exhibit tho best of lafitu in endeavoring to distort somo remarks of yours in referen'oo to delaying the Scotti&h Gathering and also securing the attendance o'f our Indians. It could bo easily perceived that nll you intended to say in reference to the gathering was that as a large number of .people would avail themselves of that occasion to enjoy a holiday that their attendance should be secured and they would enjoy a double entertainment. Ak to tho Indians, it is well known that our Indian gatherings on tho occasion of the visit of tho Earl rnd Countess Dufferin, both nt Victoria Ann mid at New Westminster, wore an nttrnctivo feature in our Provincial display in honor of thoso distinguished visitors; and being a display only possible in our part of the Dominion—tlie natives appearing in their immense and curiously ornamented cauuos upon our waters and for.ning a wonderful and unique pageant when first viewed by a stranger—-it is there- fo/o desirable that this should bo repeated on the present occasion.

Gladfftoije. stated tho precedents in rnso/f ,-iimilni* to that of Grey, showing that tlie':-ppointment of a committee is the proper.course. At tho present period of tho se6s,io*it.Jiow- ever, it is too late to secure the appointment of a representative coptjnji"^*' tee. Ho did not, moreover, know qf any way in which the committee could ..re*-: lease Grey if they wished to do so. He, therefore made a purely formal motion that the letter of Judge Lawson be placed on the table. A passing reference by Gladstone to an address tu the crown for the removal of Judge La soil, as (mo of the possible alternative courses, was received wiih loud cheers by tlie Irish members. Sexton attacked Judge Lnwsou for preventing Grey from making a defense. As to the,proposal of Gladstone, it simply means to defer matlors until Grey's term expires. Grey has telegraphed Iho ffycnkel' and Gladstone informing thom of his committal and tho refusal of Judgo Lawson to grant him nn adjournment uf his'^uso. Saxton read telegrams reciting that affidavit's liSd been sworn to declaring that several of the jurymen who convicted Hynes were drunk, and ho repeated tho accudatiuns of jury packing iu Clare. Sexton Baid that iiiflon.fi, nx the lives of the Irish people wero ai the mercy of legal chicanery, no minor reforms would satisfy them. Grey's imprisonment was a disgrace and scandal to justice. Win, John, attorney-general for Ireland, stated the details of the composition of juries with a view to rebut the accusation. Hodcclar&l that nothing cuuld bb ft'oVso than Groy's conduct. Tho Attorney-general added ttint now the statement relative to tho i trunk en nors of the jury that convicted Ilynes had been repeated iu Parliament, Earl Spencer would investigate it with regard to carrying out the capital sentence passed upon Hynes. Plunkett, conservative hienYber for Dublin University, supported the Govornment. He considered that in consequence of Groy's high position it was right that tils punishment should be exemplary. Debate continued until suspension of the afternoon sitting, Irish members ropoatin'g Saxton's nccusation. At the resumption of the sitting the debate relative to the sentence uf Grey was not resinned, owing to tho absence of tho Iiish members. Gladstone moved tho adjournment of tho house from to-morrow until the 24th of October, which was carried without division.

"Ho has a name, nevertheless. He is an old friend of mine. We were schoolfellows. Ho is 'a comparatively young man—about my ago, in fact; . but he has taken every deureo that the medical profession lias to give, and ia a member of I don't know how many sciontifio societies with long names, lie is president of the Irkford Royal Infirmary, and his private practice might be of any extent ho chooses. We used to be groat friends, as lads. Lately, wo lmvo lost sight of* one another. I ■know him to bo influential, and I believed him to bo rarely good and wise; a man in it thousand. Well, I wrote to him, recalled myself to his memory, and asked him if he cared to do me a favor, as I thought ho could. Promptly I had a reply. Ho roinbom- berod nil about it, aud was glad to hear of me again; and any favor that lay iu his power he would do mo. I then wrote to him ngain. :I told him about you. I gavo him my impressions as to -your character and capabilities. I told him that what-you wanted was work- that you were desirous to learn anything that you wero set to do, and that ■whatever it might bo, you wore resolved to master it. I mentioned nursing, and said that your thoughts had turned toward ifc, not sentimentally __>' "Ah, I am glad you said that! "But as a career—as a practical calling. In short, I begged him, if ho had au opening for a learner, aud was likely to hear of any, to remember me and you. And ho has done so." Mr. Malleson smiled pleasantly, not adding that ho had spoken of .Judith to his friend in terms of praise, Hitch as those who knew him as Dr. Wontworth did wero woll aware ho rarely used; that he had wound up his description of her by saying: •'In short, she fo one of those women who would fulfil old George Herbert's words—who would sweep a room, if alio had to sweep, to tho glory of her God," "Ho has dono so? Oh, Mr. Malleson, what goodness, on both his part and yours! And what does he say?" "Ho says"—the rector drew a letter from his pocket—"he says, "The young 1-u'y you speak of, Miss Judith Conisbrough, appears to be a'-*—li'm—b'm— 'character who might be useful, if hor energies wero properly directed. Of courso I know, as every medical man of large practice must, that hundreds it not thousands of young women annually die, or go mad, or sink into hopeless querulous!, ess ur hysteric invalidism, simply because thoy havo nothing to do in tlio world. Miss Conisbrough can como to ^Irkford if she chooses. I can find somo work for hor, but I beg you will explain to her that it ia neither light, nor agreeable, nor well paid. Sho will find the start, especially, most unpleasant;. It would not bo nursing, us I have no room at present for oven a nurse or probationer. By and by thoro will be a vacancy. What I can givo her is this. In the Nurses' Home, in which my wife aud I lake a ureat in .ores!;, there is a matron who vi'iihs au-JisBUttunt. The assistant's duties would bo chiefly of a domestic character at first, and pray do not delude Miss Conisbrough with the idea that they would bo in nny way different from what domestic offices usually are. She would have various departments to look after—from tho kitchen to tbe receiving of visitors if iioci ssary, or if ihe matron were oi Iior- wiso engaged. She can L*y it, if sho likes. It will give her a thorough practical acquaintance with the ar raugements of the houso in which, should she ever becomo a nurso or probationer, sho would havo to livo. For her services in this capacity sho would receive eighteen pounds a year. When an opening occurs, I will, if her 'conduct and capabilities have been satisfactory, givo her ihe refusal of a probationer's placo. I have had many applications for tho placo, but none which I consider quite suitable. I am inclined to think that your friend would do, since, from what you say, I gather that sho is country born and bred; that in tastes she-is simple and frugal; is .physically strong and healthy, and in mind steadfast. Pray do not forgot to impress upon her that tho work is neither light nor agreeable; or it may be that after live minutes' conversation with her, I may simply have lo tell her io go homo again. As soon as sho docides, lot me know. Sho may come as soon as sho pleases; -she must come within the next ten days if she decides to como at al!.' " "Now what do you say ?'- asked Mr. MalleBOn. "It is eighteen pounds a year, and work that is evidently neither delicate nor agreeable. The other is live and twenty pounds, and much less '-rduoua work—,: "Oh, I will take iho Irkford one, please. Tho work cannot bo too arduous for ine. Oh, Mr. Malleson, if you knew what this is to me!" Ji was with great difficulty (hat she refrained from bursting into tears of relief aud joy.

It only grieves me to think that one at your age, and in your position, should feel it necessary to como to so stern and sa'd'a de- cteiow.'* "You are very kimd. rI!,havo pitied myself often, m'fftrtfl^r'times, but not now." "I hope you haVotiot been without consolation. ' It is often in such trials that the purest'f-nd truest consolation is given; indeed, it is doubtfuhvhether thoso who havo not had hard and bit- tor trials can know what inward poace means. There was a royal lady you know, once, whose crown waa a crown of sorrows almost from the lirst day sho wore it, nud she said constantly: " 'Who no'or uh.brenil with tetn** liath nto, Wlm iiu'W l!i« nlffUt'a'ji'rMt1 Wntolioa through, Wei'itiiiK lifiltk) liN hal Itrttli wit*', Yo lioavonty intwevH, I'irfcT.oWii not Tou.'" "I know," said Judith. "BuffQueen Louisa was a braver aud a better wo- lr.an'thaii I am; and in all her sorrows she had work to do. I have sorrowed as she did. I have eaten my bread with tears, and wopt nn my bod tho whole night long; but I have not found much consolation yet. This work, I trust, will help to bring it." She rose, ns did Mr. Malleson. ''You will not go without telling us —you will seo my wife and mo ajain beforo you leave V "Surely, aud I will say good-night to Paulina now. I must take my way home.'', Mv. Malleson preceded her across ■ he passage, throw opon the door of a lighted room (for all the sunset had long boen ovor, and darkness had de- sco idcd); and Judith, entering and screening hor eyes from tho sudden glare, found herself faco to faco wiili her friend Mrs. Malleson, and with Bernard Aglionby, who had risen us sho, Judith, camo iu, and who now stood lodkirjjj* at her. "Oh, you arc still hero!" observed tho clergyman to Aglionby. "Won't vou slay and havo some dinner with us, ns it has got so la! e ?" ".No, thank you," replied lie, shaking hands with Judith, though neither ho nor she spoke. "I heard from Mrs. Mallesou (hat Miss Conisbrough was here, and would bo walking homo, so I sont my horse on to Yoresett, and remained here to escort her, if she will allow mo to do so." "Oh! 1 think there is no nood," bc- */,an Judith. "My dour, there is!" began Mrs. Malleson decidedly: and to please me will you accept Mr. Aglionby's escort. Indeed, I will not invite him to din- no;*; and as ho will bo obliged io walk io Yoresett, that settles the question." "Yes, I think it does," said Judith rather gravely. "I am sorry that Mr. Aglionby should have put himsolf to sueh inconvenience." To this Aglionby made no roply. Ho had not spoken to her at all. They had nil moved toward the hall. "Aro you woll wrapped up for the walk, Judith if Won't you have au extra shawl (" asked her friend. "No, thank you. I walk quickly. Good-night, Paulina, Your husband will tell you all about it. And Good- n\tM W*** Mnllnonn T ihanl- */».." s'.io said, with emphasis., looking earnestly into his faco. "You know what that moans, with me." Husband and wife accompanied them to iho hall, opened the door for them, and thoy stepped out into the mirk. "ll't'oc cWM !t Wtl9." The door—that hospitable door- was closod r.fiei* them. It had been ilinwiog duri.ig ihe day, but was now freezhig hard. Tlio sky had cleared, and tho stars were appearing. Judith's heart was boating fast. However calm aud uneventful her outward lifo might have boon, her inner o.ie had boon idled with deep a*id varied emotions. The i.nerview site had just concluded had boen to her a solemn one; it had stirred hor spirit io its depths. She had expected a long walk home alone in the dark, and had promised herself iliat iu he course she would reflect upon all that had passed; would smooth out the tangled web of conflicting feelings, and plan how best to break her decision to thoso at home. She felt that alio needed this interval; needed this spoil of quiot meditation, Now, behold, it was denied her. She was not to bo alone. Another was to bo her companion; one from whom in spirit sho indeed never strayed far, but of whom the shadowy spirit ual presenco was, compared with the actual bodily one, exactly "as moonlight is to sunlight, aud 03 water is to wine." Hew could she think, how ponder, how becomo at one wiih herself, with Bernard At-diouby at Iter side? She gave it up at once, thinking, with a kind of moral recklessness whieh of Into had been a frequent visitant with her: "What does it matter? Soon it will all be at au end. What difference can ouo pang moro make—one other straw? Lot him come! I shall get through it somehow," But as (hoy paced silently down the rectory drivo, she began to realize that she had never really conquered him, never induced him to submit to her behests etcept iu so far as words- promises—wont. Ho was like tho young man of the parable, who said, "J. go, sir." but went not. This was iho second time he had disoboyed the spirit, if not iho lot tor, of what slio required of him. She know thai it was not dono innocently or unconsciously. Sho know ihat ho was quite aware of his disobedience, aud that he did it deliberately and advisedly, lt wus very wrong of him, with Lizzie Vane iu tho background on his side, and with, on her side, far worse things than a Lizzie Vane, and things which must! not. bo nearly approached. Very wrong; alio could in nowise palliate or approve of it; she felt that She ought to rebuke it, and oven whilo conning ovor in her mind the best Way in which to begin the rebuke, she wus conscious of a wild, unlicensed pleasure, ou hor own part, at iho occurrence. "'Thero is no moon, is there?" wore the words which rouaod hor when thoy had proceeded for some little distance along the road to Yorosott. "No; but it is clear, and tho stars nro bright. Otherwise, this is a dark) lonely road." T R. PEARSON & CO., —Importers and Dealers in— Books & Stationer!, FAKCif "mm, Pianos, Organs & Music, .Souli! Side of Columbia St., New Westminster, B.
