You see I’m Showing my confidence in you in telling you my plans beforehand, as I take it for granted you mean to let Amy know who she is after my uncle's death, unless he leaves everything to me by will." " You are quite right," replied Maitlaud stifll y. He had recovered his calmness now, and had need of all of it to retain himself. “It certainly was my intention to let her know. I do not promise youI shall not tell her at once, in order that she may have an opportunity of urging her claim. ” “Oh, confound it all, Maitland, what; good will that do? Let it stand as it is for a time at any rate. Give 9. follows chance. You see, as it is, I can make love to her as a. man with good expectations, and she is only a poor governess ; but reverse our pos- itions, and where’s my chance? No, you must let matters stand as they are for a week or two.” “ I won't promise you anything now," re- plied Maitland. “lshall see you to-mor- row, and will tell you my decision then." He turned away without even saying good-night. Dexter was such a mixture of good nature and selfishness ; he had such a wzy of taking him into his confidence and m ing him a sort of partner in his dis- graceful plans, that Maitland was disgusted beyond measure. And this was the man who was his rival for Amy 1 And his own hands were tied i ‘He rose early after an almost sleepless night. He found that his patient was out of sorts, evidently the result of want of rest. He made no allusion to the events of the previous day ; both of them seemed unwill- ing to start the subject. However, in the afternoon, Fletcher abruptly said : “ Msitland. 1 wish you would send to my nephew’s hotel. You know it, I suppose?” ‘ Yes. Are you going to the terrace this afternoon 2" “ Yes ; the same time as yesterday. I want to see Amy." Half an hour later Dexter made his ap- pearance. Mr. Fletcher asked Maitlnnd to leave them nudro join them on the terrace in an hour. As he went out Dexter manag- ed to whisper : " You won’t tell her 2" r."- " No,” replied Maitland firmly. The interview botwecn uncle and nor how was rather long. Mr. Fletcher told Dexter that he was not ignorant of his dotngs as hesupposed, and that; he had for some time doubted whether he ought to let such a scapegraco be his heir. “I was once harsh to my son,” said the old man. “and I lost him. I determined to make every allowance for you. I don’t ask you whether you deserve it, but I should ikc to know what you’re plans are. Do ydb intend to marry 2” This sudden question took Dexter off his guard. Making up his mind on the spur of the moment, he answered : . H Yes-ll “ Whom 2” " chll, it isn’t quite settled yet between us. I have not declared myself yet, but if I obtain your consent, I will do so at the earliest opportunity. ” “ \Vho is she 2" “ She is the governess at the Kustcrtous. " replied his nop cw boldly. “You've never seen her, I suppose, but she is a very charm- ing 'rl." “€10 fortune, I presume!" " I believe not." - “Then you can't marry unless with my money 1" Dexter uneasily answered : " No, sir." “ Very well," said his uncle. “ I he“) no objection to your making a love match. I’ll tell you what I will do. It would be un- satisfactory for both of you, if you, a rich man, were to marry her a pauper. If you win her consent I will give mine and make her heiress of half what I have. You will then boon equal terms, as man and wife should be." Dexter was growing more and more un- comfortable. This was far from the state of things he wished for. "You are very thoughtful, uncle,” ho murmured. - "I should like to see this young lady: continued Mr. Fletcher. "I presume t t by birth and education she is fitted to be your wife? You have made inquiries, I presume l" “\Vsll, uncle, I thought that would be rather wanting in delicacy. She is evident- ly a lady." " Your sentiments do you honor, Fred. -It was quite right of you not to make import- inent enquiries, especially considering hcr ition." Dexter felt he had done it now. It was im iblc for him to confess that he knew Amy’s identity. After a little further con. valuation they started for the terrace, where hlaitland was shortly to meet them. Meanwhile the young doctor had been spending an unhappy hour. Ho was sure Dexter would take the opportunity of telling his uncle his intention to marry Amy ; the probability was greatly in favor of the old man’sa proval of his nephew’s suit rather than of Irisâ€"Maitland'a. One thin ho was sure ofâ€"that he must keep silent ti Dexter had either won or lost. and that if he won he must keep silent forever. Ilia only hope was that Amy loved him. Yet why should she!

At this moment Maitland came up. He took 03' his hat to Amy, and remained stand- in near. or some time the conversation was to the last degree commonplace ; not one of the men seemed inclined to be the first to brooch the subject that each was thinking of. At last.i Mr. Fletcher, after rpainful cough, sax : " My dear, I want to speak toyou serious- ly for a minute or two. 'ou will excuse an old man that has not many months to live if he says things a little lnntly. Try and suppose that he is afraid he has not time to do otherwise." Amy looked surprised, but said nothing. " My nephew," continued Mr. Fletcher, “has told me that he wishes you to be his wife. He has not, I believe, confessed as much to you, knowing that his possibility of marrying depends on me. I have told him that if he gains your consent he shall not marry a pennilcss girl, for I shall give you the aims as I give him. ‘So you see. you may rely entirely on your feelings in giving your answer; it will not be a case of marry- ing for money, but only for love. What do you say 7" Amy said Inothing. She turned her eyes on Maitland,’ who persistently kept his averted. “ This is toosndden, uncle," pleaded Dex- ter. “ Perhaps it is,” assented the old man. "I do not ask for a decisive answer now. “ Plead your own cuss, my lad, during the npxt’wcek, and then Amy shall give her re- p y-’ ' Amy turned her head. “ There is no necessity‘to wait for a week," he said; "my mind is quite made up. I can never marry Mr..Dexter," “ My dear girl,” persisted Mr. Fletcher, ” do not make up your mind so swiftly. No doubt my plain way of putting the matter has pained you. I can see you are agitated. Let me plead for my nephew. His love for you is disinterested. He knows you but as a charming young lady who is at present occupying a position unworthy of her. He knows nothing whatever of you beyond that ; judge then whether you are treating him quite fairly in refusing to listen to him. It is not so easy to find young men nowa- days, who are capable of displaying such dis- interested carnestncss and devotion in seek- ing a. wife. He tells me he is even ignorant of the name of your parentsâ€"does not that show he values you for yourself 2" Dexter has tried once or twice to inter- rupt: his uncle, but in vain. However, he now managed to interpose with : " Really, uncle, you appear to imagine thatâ€"" Amy. “ Did Mr. Dexter tell you he did not know who my father was 1" she asked. “ch,” replied Mr. Fletcher, “ and I up- plauded the delicacy of feeling he showed. ’ " I must tell you then that he did ask me and seemed very surprised to hear his name. There seems to be some mystery about it, for its mention seems to have sufficed to turn Mr. Dexter from a. casual acquaintance into an ardent admirer.” Dexter stood abushod; he did not for a moment attempt to defend himself. "80, air,” said his uncle severely ; “ it seems then that you do know who this young lady is. I'had‘ my suspicious. and that is why I said what I have, thinking I could catch you in your own trap.” ”I thought you wOuld be pleased if I married her," pleaded Dexter. " Don’t say another word, sir. Leave us now; come to my rooms this evening and I shall have something to say to you than." Dexter walked away as carelessly as he could. - “Come a little closer to me,my dear child,” said Mr. Fletcher in a tender tone, as soon as his nephew was out of sight. “ I have some news for you. You must think me a very strange old manâ€"so I am, perhaps. You think Ihave been very rude and un-. kind, but it was for your sake. No ono is near us now. Put your arms around my neck and kiss me and call me grandpapa.” Amy looked at him in astonishment for a momont, and then glanced at Maitlnnd. His look reassured her ; she flung her arms round the old man's neck and kissed him. “ Grandpa,” she exclaimed; “ is it true I" “ Yes, my darling. Ah, if 1 had only known it before. It is your fault, Mait~ land." “ Are you quite surc 2" he asked. “ lVell, no; I suppose its chiefly mine.

SATURDAY, SEPT. _8, 1883 audio. NO 98 IN THE EASTERN COUNTIES. The Plexus of Bats-How to gut Rid of cornwan as a Manufacturing Town. Thermâ€"Some tmrtous Anecdotes Regarding These Pasta. A correspondent has kindly favoured us with the following remarks relative to the getting rid of rats. It is well known that when once rats have obtained a firm footing in a private house, or in any other building, such as barns, outhousss, etc, it is a most difficult thing to completely dislodge them, and they continue, sometimes in spite of all attempts to exterminate them, to make frightful in- roads into domestic peace and happiness, and into the luxuries and other rambles stowed away in the lardsrs. I came to my present residence in 1875. . It is a very old but very comfortable house. Soon after I had commenced arranging my furniture and otherwise placing my house in order, I found to my intense disgust and annoyance, that the place was infested with rats. Nearly every room on the ground-floor gave alarming indications of the presence of rats during some part of the day. Even the drawing-room was at times amt-haunt. One evening, as my servants were sitting com- fortably around the kitchen-firs, out came three gigantic rats. Having carefully look- ed round the kitchen, the vermin came to- wards the firs ; and upon the servants mov- ing their chairs, they scampercd off, only to return the next evening. OJe morning, when coming down stairs to breakfast, I found the baby’s toy rabbit, made of real rabbit-skin, literally torn to pieces, and the bits scattered all about the front staircase. Nothing but a rat could have done this, as the rabbit was perfect a few hours before, and the cats had been turned outside the house for the night. Dogs and cats were quite unable to exterminate these pests. At last it became so serious, that I thought I would try tar as an experiment. Rats are \vonderfully°lean animals, and they dislike tar more, perhaps, than an - thing else : for if it once gets on their in - ets, they find it most dilii mil: to remove it. Now, I had heard it mentioned that pour- ing tar down at the entrances of their holes was a good remedy; also placing broken pieces of glass by their holes was another remcdy. But these remedies are not effec- tive. The rats may leave their old holes, and make fresh ones in other parts of the house; they don’t, however, (leave the premises for good. I thought I would try another experiment, one I had not heard of before. One even- ing I set a large. wire-cage rut-trap, attach- ing inside mmost seductive piece 0 strongly smelling cheese ; and next morning I found, to my satisfaction, that I had succeeded in trapping a. very large rat, one of the lur- est I had ever seen, which, after I had be- smearcd with tar, I let loose into his favour- ite run. The next; night I tried again, and succeeded in catching another equally big fellow, and served him in the same manner. I could not follow these two tar-besmenred rats into their numerous runs, to see what would happen; but it is reasonable to as- sume that they either summoped together all the members of their communit , and by their crest-fallen appearance gave 1: air com- rades silent indications of the misfortune which had so suddenly befallcn them; or that they frightened their brethren away, for they one and all forsook the place and fled. The experiment was eminently suc- cessful. From that day in 1875 till now, 1883, my house, ancient though it is, has been entirely free from rats ; and I believe that there is no remedy equal to this one, if you can catch your rat alive. They never come back to the house again. ' , 1n conclusion, let me say, never use poi- son. This rcmsdy is almost worse than the disease. If poison be used, you may find yourself in the same sorry plight a. friend of mine once found himself in ; u had to take up all his dining-room iloorin , on account of a frightful odour issuing t ercfrom, and found sixteen dead rats underneath. Be- sides, oison is dangerous lying about; it might 0 taken by favourite dons or cats. -Auothei- correspondent‘scnds us the fol- lowing touchiu anecdote: \Vc had been troubled with t e company of a pair of fins large rats, and to our cost we know they took their refreshments on the premises. Their visit having lasted a. fortnight, we thought it advisable. to take means to dis- continue tho acquaintanceship. Last Mon- day night wc set two traps, thinking to catch them both at once, as they had often been seen together. frequently pilfering off the sums dish. \Ve succeeded in catching them, but in a most unexpected manner. The male rat in the m ing we found alive in the cage, his better-half lying dead on the floor by the side of the cage, evidently having died of grief. Not being able to call to mind a similar case, I send this, thinking it may interest some of your readers. The following curious anecdote has been sentto us by a gentleman residing in the north of England : “The other day," he says, "as I was strollin along the brook-side, taking a quiet ternoon constitutional, I noticed a dead‘dog in the middle of the brook, the water running down at the time not being nearly sufficient to cover it. There is no- thing so unusual in the sight of a half-putrid carcass in either brook or pond as of itself to attract attention, so I suppose it must have been some motion in the mass that un- consciously struck tho eye ; at any rate. while I was looking, as old rat left the rot« ti“ carcass and made off down the water- course at a rapid rate, looking neither to right nor left. He seemed so thoroughly on business, that I determined to upset the old fellow's arran emcnt, and sec whither it would lead. ccordingly, I cut off a book. ed thorn-stick, made in way from stone to stone to the dad dog. aulcd him up high and dry on tothc bank under a bush. and waited. Scarcely was all still again, when the old rat returned, and in his train meme 8 twenty-four more rats straight to the spot where the dog had been. Had I known the consequences. it had been there still ; for no sooner did the poor old fellow find the trea- sure-trove gone, than he set up a most pitc- ous scream. and darted up the brook like an arrow. Vain his flight ; within twenty yards the infuriawd Victims of the seeming deception had overtaken, slain. and eaten up the cruel deceivcr f Undoubtedly he had told them of the 'ficent feast awaiting them, and proffer to lead them to where it was." new to Remove a Tlght Em; A novel method of effecting the removal of a ring which has becomc constructed around a swollen finger, or in any other simi- lsrsituation, consists simply in enveloping the afflicted member. after the manner of a circular bandage, in a length of list India rubber braid, such asladies make use of t) keep their hats on thetop of their brads.

Lawrence and the Canal, 67 miles west of Montreal, has made a great advance in population, through using and advertising to its utmost, its advan as a manufac- turing centre. At one tune rivalled by Morrisburg and Lancaster on either side, it has, within the t five or ten years, nearly doubled in po u tion, having now not less than 6,000 in abitants, or 1,600 more than the last census gave it. In addition to its manufacturing enterprise Cornwall is mak- ing a good deal of internal improvements, a good public marketâ€"house and othsrius:i- tntions being in course of construction. Not the least im ortant among these inter- nal advances is t c advent of n newsphpcr, the Cornwall News. devoted to the cause of temperance, as well as general and local news ; so that the town has now three well- conducted local papers, the others being the Reporter and the Freelao’der. ' One of the most prominent of the factories of Cornwall is the Stormont Cotton Manu- facturing Co.'s Works, pleasantly situated on the banks of the canal, opposite the town. This facto is, I understand, owned by Messrs. D. orrice & 00., Montreal, tho LARGEST corrox slsxvl‘scrunxm in the Dominion. The factory, like most of those connected with the same firm, is well- lighted, well-fitted up, and well-managed. It has 72 carding machines, 5l0 looms, and 28,000 spindles. The building is six storics high, and the works are run by an engine of 1,000 horse-power, with a ponderous fly- wheel 32 feet in diameter. There are 550 hands employed, and when some new im~_ rovements are complete there will be 000 mployed. About two-thirds are girls, who seemed to be in good health, and who, 1 was glad to learn, were able to earn $5 a‘ week, 'workin 10 hourss. day. The Manager. Mr. C. H. obbs, informed me that somc of the employee had quite a little balance in the bank. The machinery of the mill is of tho bcst type, and the quality of the cotton produced is excellent. The Canada Cotton Mauul’acturingCo.’s new building, lately erected, makes it the largest factory in the town. It has S50 looms, and 40.000 spindles, and employs 700 hands in all. It is contemplated to in- crease tho capacity of this factory to 1,000 looms, and the question mi ht naturally be asked, where is the doveIo omcnt of this cotton business to stop! he cotton fac- tories in Canada have DOUBLED in run LAST FIVE vsans,~ and as more are reported coming in the field, it is hard to see how they can all live upon a population of five millions. The woollen factory of the Cornwall Manufacturing Co. is also an important in- dustry. It' has nine sets of 60 inch carding machines. four bein used in the making of blankets, and five or twecds. There are 68 looms and 390 spindles, and the works are run by an engine of 250 horse-power. There are 230 hands employed, the wages earned by the females ranging from $3 to $6.50 a week, of 10 hours per day.» The work. however, does not seem so pleasant and clean as in tho ton mills. The blank- ptlt‘s, when they or first turned out, look i o» cosnss susnrs or canvas, and are even darker in color. The beauti- ful white, downy nap is put in by tho pricklcs on the pod of a common wood, the name of which I forgot, these prickly pods being stuck on a large cylinder, in con- tact with which the blanket is brought till the downy nap is brought out. Canadian and East Indian wool is used in making tho blankets, but in the manufacture of twecds, South African and South American wools are required, on account of their superior warmth. .;.The latest industry established in Corn- wall is the Toronto Paper Co.’s Mills, which were formally opened in May last. This factory cost altogether some $190,000, and now employs 60 hands. It is dusi nod to manufacture calendarcd paper, sun as is used in account books and certain kinds of superior book-work. It is the first mill in Canada devoted to this class of work. It has both water and steam owcr and can produce five tons of manufgcturcd paper per day. The princi al shareholders are Toronto and Montrca men, interested in the stationary or publishin business. The greater part of tho oapita of all the Corn- wall industries is hold by Montreal men. SASK ATGKEWAN COAL. Tho First Canslirnmont Doltvorcd at Rosina. Last Saturday morningabont 80 tons of soft coal from the Saskatchewan mines ar- rived at Regina for the Mounted police. It was immediately carted to the barracks west of the town, a few loads being left at the town office. As this is the first arrival from our own mines it attracted considerable attention and comment, and many visited the heap of coal to ascertain the quality. To the surpriso of all they found it to be of much better quality than that now used by the C. I’. R. It is considerably lighter, which one to show that itis less liable to bo charg with iron or slate, and on account of it containing no rcfusc chunks, it will rovo the most rofitablc to handle. It is rought up the askatchewan to Medicine Hot, a distance of nine miles by barges. We were not able to ascertain from whose mine this lot sumo. but we are told that the owners have at least l50 tons ready at Medi. cine list for shi ment and their own use. It is being min and frci hted to the rail- wa as fast as present faci ltics will allowof, an it is altogether likely that enough will be available for distribution along the rail- way for the towns during the coming winter. The price of this coal has not ct been made known, but there is no don t but that it will be much cheaper than that which has heretofore been imported. Since the above has been put in type we have foamed that the was! is from Sir. A. '1‘. Galt & Co.'s mine. he writes as saying that "the coal proves of remarkably supe riot quality and prsctically inexhaustible.” aâ€"â€".-wâ€"â€"â€" The Tricycle for Women. “'hile the bicycle is very generally used by lads and oung men in this country, we are far behi Western Europe, and especial- ] England. in the use of tho tricycle. Over t e water the women make extensive use of the three-wheel machine. Tricycliug is said to be pceutsrly valuable to women. It sup- rts the weight of the body and there is ittle jolting. while the musclcs exercised are those which aroaptto be neglected in the ordinary movements of the sails sex. long journeys are undertaken a England and on the Continent on the tricycle. It supplies the place of and is far cheaper than the horse and wagon. As it is an older country, with season denser population. the common roads of Europe are in much better condition thanthey are with as, which per- haps accounts for the greater popularity of the tricycle that it has a achieved with as. The royal family of gland have set the fashion of using this machine. The Queen, the Princess of Wales, Princess Mary Teak. have made birthday presents of these instruments to all their young relatives. No doubt the time will come when trioycling will bethersgshereasitnowil abroad.â€" Fm DWI loudly for WW.
