He \futher, haying been wealthy, had failed i1 bu iness, and committed suicide. Her \ mother, del‘cate and helpless, had fought poverty feebly for two years, ard, sinking under privi.tion and toil, had contracted a futal d sease. Wien all hope of life was over, th» news came that Millie‘s Uncle, dyig abroad, had left a large fortune to his only sister. A will was made by the dying woman, leaving ber own lately won indepeudence to Mille ud appoiuted thur old friend Mareus Wilkiason, guardian to | the heiress. "It is about myself," Millie s# id, the softest 1oseâ€"tint flashing her cheeks." "Dour me! I didu‘t know yoa ever took uch an insignilicant person into consider ition at all." "Now, Uncle Marc, please don‘t teise." "She wants something enormous," saia the old gentleman, apparently addressin, the walls. "Whenever I am Uacle Mure I know what to expect." B at just then the kindly man detecte wong of tronble in Nillie‘s free, and t« je ting tone was turned at once to one o tend r c t Sorrowing and womanly beyond her yeurs, Millie Lad turned from hber own sorâ€" row to a nolle endeavor to sol.co t .ore with whoin her poverty had made her fuâ€" mil.ar. _ A cousin had come at Mr. Wikinâ€" son‘s request to make a home for bis ward, and she resumed imanoy long intermupted studies, But a lirge portion of her time was spent in the homes of those who had been her mother‘s triends in the durk dnys of her widowhoed ; avd her gentle, unobâ€" trusive charities soon extended fur beyond this small circie. She | ad been an orphan {two years on the day when she came to seek Mr, Wikinson, as alove cdescriled, and the soorows of her life had lost some of their bitter sting, caving ouly a geutle saduess betind. "Well, Milhe," the old gentleman said, "what brings me the pleasure of seeing you toâ€"doy 2" "Cyr‘ Orms>~ cane up to see me la: evening, and he will come here to day ; Im 1 wa tod ose you first. He wants met be his wife, Uaele Marc, an i" â€"she hesit. ted herâ€"*"you do not like him." "Wao tau you that 2" "No, one, but 1 soe tor myself." "Well, you are right. _ I do not like him But my like or disluke has no coutrol over you.‘ "A mutter of importance," muttered Mr. Wilkiuson, twisting the note nervonsly. "Cuamn my fears be true ? Has Cyril Ormsâ€" by proposed to my pearl ? I am afrard he Las, What can I urge ngainst the man if Midie‘s own instinets have played her f.lse? Ten u‘clock." TLelart silvery stroke of the mantelclock bad not died away when the door of the «ffice was opened by a elerk, and Millio Bently entored the room. Mr. Marcas Wilziuson sat alone in his ! office, w.to a daiuty litle periuamed note | between his fingers, ard a puzzled frow . 1 upon his brow. The uote, dirested in ud gr.ceful aid femine hand, was brief : ' "Drear Ctarptax,â€"I will be at the ofâ€" fise it teu in tuae moruing, to eâ€"msult you npon a matter of imp rtance. . Miputs." "No eoztrol?" Millie‘s vwico was pileâ€" ous. â€" Please don‘t talk so. I some to you as I would have gon e to my father." * There, dear, I was wrong. Tell m, then, as you would have told your father, do you love Mr. Ormsby ?2" "I think he is the noblest man I ever knew. If you could see him with some of my poor people, how geutie and courteous he is, you would like hitmn too. He has given me so much sympathy in my work, Uncle Marc, feeling as I do, that the |‘l.Ȥsc:fsion of great wealth is but a stewardâ€" »hip. | "For a noble philanthropist, partly ownâ€" ing these factories and this quarter, Mr. Ormaby ssems neglectful," saia Mr. Wilk inson, dryly. "I bavean intero:t in the | factories, as you are aware, but do notown "Aund so won your love ?" ""My respect and admiration, Uncle. J cannot yet realize that a man so noble and so good can really desire my companionâ€" ship and help in his life. I am glad an‘ prond to have won his contidenee." "Hemâ€"yes! _ Eathusiaste but heartâ€" who‘e," was Mr. Wilkenson‘s mental comâ€" ment. _ Suppese you and I $0 tor a walk," Le added, i loud. prise "Yes. Ihave a friend or two that I th n‘d lhke to Lave you see. When we eâ€"me buck I will tell you why I dislike Cyril Ormeby, if, "he added mentally, "you have uot already foand it ont." It was not exactly jist such a walk as one would have mapped out for a gentlemrm‘51 invitation to a young, beantiful girl, but Millie followed its course, leaning on her gnardian‘s arm, wondering a little, but novâ€" er hbesiteting, past the respectable portion of the ecty to a quaiter kuown as Factory Row, a place where Mr. Wilkinson han never allowed his ward to go. For there were apt to be fevers and oontagious diseasâ€" es Inrking there. lt lay low and was unâ€" hen‘tuy, and the houses were of the meanâ€" et deeription. A DURHAM, Co. Grey, NOVEMBER 6, 1879. Whole No. 90 "Yos, sir. He saiq hehad no time to hear my whining. ‘The agent will be here ut tweive, and it the money is not here he will put us out." "May 1 ?" whispered Millie. "Just as you please, my dear. Perhaps this dying woman or her child may drink up all your charity." "Hush, hush." S » tenderly, so delicate‘y, Millie gave her charity, that there was only deepest gratiâ€" tude awukeued, without the gualling sense 0‘ oblization, â€" She left sufficient comforts for more than a week, and promised to send ume delicasies for the invalid. \â€" "But," Millie said, engerly, ""these people ‘[ will not let himn benefit thetmn. They use his charity for drink; they abuse any privâ€" Plexze he yives them, till he is discouraged in his efforts to do them any good." â€" "Ohl! atep in hers." It was a poor place, scantily furnished, and cheerless. Upon acot bed a woman lay in the last stages of con=nmption. She lookâ€" ed up eagerly ut Mr. Wilkinson. "I hope you are better," he eail kindly. *"No, T shall never be tetter. ‘If I muy only die in peace, it is all I ask." . . "Mr. Ormshy will not disturb you now?" ‘Jennie has gone to him. Yesterday he sent word that if the rent was not ready toâ€"day at twelve, orit we must go. I have paid it regularly for five years, but he dont think of that. All Jennie‘s made for the last month she‘s had to pay for fire and wood. She is but fifteen and her pay is small." "What do you owe Cyril Ormsby ?" "Thirty shillings." "And if he is not paid toâ€"day he will put u out on the street to die. ?" "He says the workhouse is the right place ir paupers," At this moment a slim, pale girl of fifteen cime in, erying bitterly. "Mr. Wilkinson was out," the girl began, and then seeing who her visitors wore, she cried eagerly, "Oh, Mr. Wilkinson, you will not let mother be put out in the street? I‘:l pay every penuy, if only you will wait till she is better, and I can got my full time for work." "Huve you seen Mr. Orinsby toâ€"4ay, Jennie?" the old gentleman asked kindly. No word of herself passed Millie‘s lips itil they were once more in the zarrow stre at«. "Oh, Uucle Mare," she said, can it be } true thit he is so hard and false to me ?"i ""Waut," was the brief reply. They wont into the wide court yard gn' whose spaze stood the four great factories, the joint property of Marcus Wilkinson and | Jyril Ormsby, long before divided by the tirely opposite management of these two â€" listinet departments,one entirely under the ontrel of the elder, and the other of the| ounger man. | "Thank you, si=," was the reply, in a deâ€" jwted tone. I can‘t well quit work, sir. Phere‘s the wife and six little ones, you «ee." «e of these wretched buildings.â€"They are all Cyril Ormaby‘s." But it was not into his own kindlyâ€"govâ€" ned, wellâ€"organized departments that inrens Wilkinson led his ward. He turned ito a small room where a pale man was usily writing, and at the same time overâ€" wking a room where about seventy giris w re ut work before busily whirling maâ€" ainery, 4 * Good morning, Watkin‘s, the old gen leman said. I was in hopes you were takâ€" ing a holiday." "Wilkinson‘s absurd softâ€"heartoduess," is Ormsby mo tilly churacterized it, had nade this diviston absolutely necessary. "Have you told Mr. Ormsby that doctor says your life depends upon a week‘s rest and pure air ?" *Yes, sir, he is not keeping me ; but he «ays if I go Le mustfill my placeâ€"and that means starvation tor my family. 1 could never get another situation, as feeble as I am now." "How long have you been here, Mr. Watkins 2" "Suventeen years, sir. I was with old \Mr. Ormsby before you came here, sir." "At this moment Millie shrank a little «earer her guardian. Through the window f¢ m which Mr. Watkins overlooked the lo 1g rom, she eould see Cyril Ormsby vaiking briskly about, his voiea harsh and imp rative, finding faalt hwe and thers, and keenly serutinizing every item of the work. Not a face in the long room was brightened by the presence of the master. Fingers worked imyre rapil‘ly, eyes were fastened more perriste: tly up 6 the looms, ind every one seemed awnre of the stern tiskmaster‘s eye. â€" But Mr. Wilkinson obeyed the petition expressed in the looks of his ward, and ouce more led Millic «mt into the wide passage to another work "A fuithful servant for soventeen years," said Mr. Wilkinson, in a low tone," and a ew weeks‘ rost may be the means of saving ais life." 1t were too tedious a task to follow every step of these two as they parsed from room to room, everywhere meeting some assurâ€" wace of Mr. Wilkinson‘s own hold upon the aands, and their terror of Cyril Ormsby‘s harshnose. \ Out again amonget the squalid homos.‘ where the kind gnardian had no control; but bestowed his charity without any ostenâ€" tation ; acd more eloquently than ever, Millie heard what a oruel mockery were all the schemes of charity and philanthropy that had been poured into her ears. It needed no spoken words from her guardian the few «* I would not tell you," said her guardâ€" ian, ‘"for you knew I disliked him, and might have thought thas dislike prejadiced i me. â€" But, Millie, you will not let this day‘s | work shadow your life. You did nut love | Cyril, Millie ?" i **No. I reverenced what I thought a ‘noble and geverous nature. That reverâ€" Ienco a mockery I shall never break my | heart for a man I thoroughly despise, Unâ€" cle Marce." "I came to you as a friend, as almost a father," said Milhe, "and I thank yeu for keeping me from lifelong misery. To know my husband such a man as J know Cyril Ormsby to be, would, as yousay, break my heart." And so it happened that Cyril Ormaby, coming to claim the fortune he believed within his grasp, met only Mr. Wilkinson, with Millie‘s polite but distinet refusal to resign herself or her fortune to his keepâ€" ing. Thore was no word spoken as Mr. Wilâ€" kinson aud Millie entered the office again. Once there, the guardian spoke very gravely : "As your guardian, M‘llie, I can speak to you no word against Cyril Ormsby. He is a rich man, of good social position, of irrepronchable moral reputation, and a man whose standing in business circles is one of the highestâ€"a man who is a good match in every worldly sense. So much as your guardian. As your friend, my pearl, who loves you as your own dead father might have loved you, who knows every noble impulse ouf your pure soulâ€"as that friend, I tell you I would rather see you lying beâ€" side your mother than the brokeuâ€"hearted wife of such / a man as Cyril Orimsby." Not a word of kindly sympathy or help in trouble or sickness. The hands under Cyril Ormsby were simply hnman machines to do so much work, sick or well, or pay the price of an hour or two of idleness, no matter how necessary it was. But he never knew how it was that Milâ€" lie learned the true value of his hollow words of charity and philanthropy. "If we don‘t live here, and pay, we get 6 place in the fuctories," one said, when asked why he didn‘t seek a more hcalthy quarter, ‘"I am doing overtime to pay for my child‘s faneral," one said, "for I lost the wages for three days I stayed by to see her die and to bury her." "I am uneasy about the rent," another said, "for I lost a week by a fall on the ice, and it is hard work making it up again." to tell her that the noble words uttered to win her were those of hypocrisy, which kunew how it could best plead its cause with | Oune and another, turning to Mr. Wilâ€" kinsoti &s a friend, unaware of the torture of their words to the kindly lady beside him, told eruel exactions of work in times of sickness and trouble, of cluosest calculation of time, of small wages, and of heavry rents. Wixxtego, Oct. 81. | The Rev. Mr. Gordon, who arrived overâ€" | land trom British Columbia via the Peace River country, aecompanied a party of Caâ€" nadian Pacific Railway engineers from Vieâ€" toria, B. C., along the Pucific coust. They ascended tue River Skeena, passed over the northern part of British Columbisa by way of Babena and Stewart, and came down the Peace River through the Rocky Mountains by boat. They spent several weeks examâ€" ining the Peace River country. He speaks very favorably of the resources of that disâ€" ‘ trict, â€" The soil is excellent, timber is abun â€" dant, with various indications of extensive coal fields. As yet, however, the Giness of the climate of this district tor the growth of wheat is not fully assured. Wheat thrives well on the flats near the river level, as well as at Hudson‘s Hope and Dunnegan, but the general level of the river is about 800 teet zbove the river, and no attempt has as yet been made to cultivate wheat upon the higher prairie level. At the same time there is a successful growth of wheat at Lesser Slave Lake, which is on much the same level as the prairie country south of Pence River. This indicates the probaâ€" bility that this large tract of prairie country will prove adapted to that character of nerbâ€" aze and foilage, and the time ot ripening l and falling lea:cs poiuts in the same direcâ€" tion, Bummer frosts occasionally cccur. A ter leaving the rise of the prairie at Dunâ€" uegan, Mr. Gordon came by way of Slave Lake, Edmonton, and Battleford to Wiuâ€" uipeg. He considered the mountain district superior for wheat raising to the Peace River district, and regards it as oue of the must attractive portions of the Northâ€"West. Navigation has closed for the season, but the 1isers are opon, and there has been no suow yet. been hiding for the past two months. At the late conference five apostles avowed a | determination to defy the Government. Proszcurtio® or Morwoxs.â€"A dispatch trom Salt Lake Says :â€"The Birmingham Mormon Elder recently arrested wl.le about to start for Europe with a party of missionaries, has been indicted for eonâ€" tracting ”oluwon; marriage. John W. Yonng, ‘counsellor to the twelve apostles ‘ formerly found reason to trust. Proteotion was also indicted. Aposile Woodraff, who ‘ was plainly for the gocd of the rich, and married one of Brigham Young‘s danghters l the poor Lad come to balieve that anything and who has vbeen ‘"sealed" to Mary Young, ‘ fâ€"r the good of one class would be beneâ€" girls whom he afterwards discarded, has The Peace River District. From the Globe. At election times, men who have not leisure to examine into political questions for themselves, and consequently are withâ€" out knowledge to judge letv en parties, naturally turn for an example to the promi nent men of their neighborhood. Thos? who get into a comfortable worldly position generally do so by superior ability and en« ergy ; they have good jodgment in their own conceras and consequently are thourlt to know what is best for the community, The man who has made morey has most to lose, it is thought, by the adoption of a policy hurtfal to the whole country; when the laboror is deprived of ten cents, by a bad Government the rich man may be deâ€" prived of ten dollars, and the poor man naturally believes that ho who has the bigâ€" gest stake will favor the best means of seâ€" curing it. Thus the wealthy acquire a widespread influence; one clearâ€"headed, cool,successful man of business may turn a constituency as he pleases, and it must be said that when the decision is between two policies framed on behalf of the whole peoâ€" ple, he who has lifted himself in life will geuverally see which is the best to adopt. If the rich man has been considered by legisâ€" lators as merely one of the many, he is as safe a guide for the people as any they can select. It should never be forgotton, though, that his example should not be fo!â€" lowed merely because he is rich ,but because being rich, he has nothing to gain and much to lose by legislation adverse to the general interest. Except in the rure cases where wealthy men, like some others not wealthy, are truly patriotic, they cast their votes for their own interest. They say : "‘This or that measure will be bad for me personally ; that is why I oppose it. It will be bad also for my fellgâ€"citizens. I have in this matter a Comuxt.elt with them, and while I fight mainly for my own land, I also have the gratification of helping them." For his own interest he custs his influence on the side of wise legislation. Now this state of feeling is a pretty good substitue for pure patrioctism, which is merely a strong desire to benefit the people. It forms a tis between the rich and the poor, and causes both classes to feel their interâ€"dependence. . If every man could disâ€" tinguish what is best for himself, and would vote accordingly, the clashing of oppored interests would reeult in the adoption of & policy which would beneSt the greatest number. Such a policy would be the aim of statesmen ; and as long as they desire only to frame measures for the common interest, as long us each man of the massâ€" es is unable to tell what is best for himself there can be no objection to the habit oi following the example of wealthy men. But suppose a measure to be advocuted which shall banefit the weulthy as a class, and take no cognizance of the re mainder _ of the â€" commun ty The rich are at once enlisted on beis If of the | men who propose the measure. ‘They are still true to themselves first, as they were in the case where leilsatioa considered every man equal. The people will nâ€"t at o ce give over the habit of looking to successful men for an example, and these are wble to persuade the electorate that the common interest still survives,. If the eupposed measure is calculated to take out of tle pookets of the people all that is put into the pockets of the wenithy, these will still be true first to their own interests, and ns few men are able to believe that what il{ good for them is not good for others, they will advoente their own interest under the: emvietion that it is that of the masses. Greed has a woncerful power to blind men to the fact that there is something wrong in building their fortunes out of the foreed eontributions of their neighbors, They will go for the policy which will enable them to do this with all the fervor with which they seek profits, and will have strength for awhile to persuade the masses to follow their guidance. But experience soon teaches the public that the rich men have an interest opposed to that of their fellowâ€"citizens, and the incvitable result is that the poor will give up the habit of throwing their votes mecording to the example of the wealthy, whose interest it is to deccive them. The punishment of the selfâ€"seekers is a loss of the confidence formetly given to them. They resist with all their strength the overthrow of the sysâ€" tem which favors them, and there is then established a political divisica of classes very much to be regretted, leading, possiâ€" ty, to inob raile, bat necessary to the resâ€" toration of the right, and vastly preferable l to & continuanee of the policy which fleece» the many on behalf of the few. Such a policy was established in Canada by the result of the last election. A bribs was offered to nearly all the eapitalists en gaged in manufacturing, and to a great number more who hoped to find in manuâ€" factoring an unusnally profitable and safe investment. These men bad built up their political influence under a state of affuirs wherein statesmen looked only to the comâ€" mon interest. The people, as was their custom, followed the guidance of those in whose judgment and patrictism they had formerly found reason to trust. Proteotion was plainly for the gocd of the rich, and ficial to all in some degree. Thus the country was entrapped into the adoption of a policy which will build up some gigantis and a greatirnumber of moderate fort 1nes, Distrust the Monopolists by transferring a large part of the earnings of the poor to the hundsg of the wealthy. The result is that uo manufacturer who beuefits by protection can be considered a politician to be trusted. He will always cousider his own interest first, and as he and those who think with him claim uo more than that the poor will indirectly beâ€" nefit by protection while the rich will diâ€" rectly grin by it, the last assertion must be doubted jurt because the first is evidently true. ‘This protection is not a policy which professes to make first a prosperous comâ€" munity and then rich men, but one which professes to make rich men first and prosâ€" perous people afterwards. The wealth is to co downward on the scale of classes. When trade is not restricted it goes apâ€" ward ; the rich get rich in proportion as the poor become comfortable. When the community has much to spend the wealthy muke larger profits. Here in Canada have a polics which says that the wealthy shall be given much to spend, wherefrom the poor shall get a profit. It is, to say the least, a euspicions arrangemeit. _ The ownuntry has set un a clasa who are trasted ‘tn first receive, and then diâ€"tribute what they get in fair proportions. Even it they d not first take from the pullic all hy which they are to get wealthy, it won‘d be 'nt‘.wr whaurd to exnect them to cive brek as much as they take, and get rich at the | same time. When a mannfacturer stands up to advoâ€" cate protection he must, and of course will be, listened to as any man is who pleads his own case. He has something to get by protection â€"that much is cortain. . His jadgment, therefore, is not in good working order. He sers his own profit o very clearâ€" ly on one side that he can hardly he paâ€" triotic enough to consmider the other on its merite. He is no frir judge of a policy which prefesses to take engnizance of the common interest. Nobody can exnect the manufacturer to be less greody, He wanta moneyâ€"as much as he can getâ€"just as other people do. He takes the side that will give him what he wants. He sonsiders himself first. Let others do the sameâ€"let every voter examine the ground for himâ€" self. Let him eav, "I will go for what T plainly see will directly benefit me ; I will not follow blindly the man who tells ma that he is to profit first, and I throuzh thiim."* The effent of locking at the matter in this way will be that the rich men will lose the political influence which they have used for their own purposes ; a sepuration of clusse® will take place, regrettable in itself, but proâ€" voked by the rich ; the masses will take a position in polities proportioned to their nutnsrical strength ; and the care with which the people will examine the projects of legisintors will edacate the country to know avud rejoct a policy of frand. Toronto Telegram : The politicians may quarrel over the National Policy «ill they are black in the fice, bat it seems plain that people have to pay more for their bread, more for their coal, and probably more for their shoes on account of its adoption, Mr. John Roach, who has been a resiâ€" dent of the townslhip of Warwick for the menter pmt of fiity years, started for the Nortl.â€" West to procure land for his sous who are growing to mrn‘s estate. â€" Ho returned last week, and he informs us that owing to the land policy of the Government he could buy land in the United States on better terms than in Canada, which he did, mmving purchased five hundred acres in Minnesota, â€" Another example of the suiciâ€" lal effect of the land policy adopted by the tawa Government.

The Guelph Herald, out andâ€"out Couserâ€" vative, writes thus :â€" "Let the conseâ€" quences be what they may, if tins be the direction the Ministery desire to lead we will not follow. None in Canada buttled more earnestly for the suceess of the Conâ€" sorvative party a year ago, but if the Belâ€" fast address of Sir A. T. Gait is to be the keyâ€"note of the policy of the Goverameat, then it becomes a question of oppesition to the Governinent or treason to the best inâ€" werests of Canada, and our choice, though an unpleasant one, will be tmado regardiess of all consequences." Yet Sir Alerander told the audience at Belfast that he spoke t, them for Sir Leonard Tilley. The Point Edward flour shed is full to roof, There are 240 car loads or 24,000 barrels of flour in store for want of cars. The elevator is full also, A perfect famine for cars prevails. Wearied nature seeks repose in strange places. One day lately as the Great Western Railway train was on its way to Dundas, the driver, when near Ainslie‘s wood, noticed a wheelbarrow standing on the middle ot the track. The train was brought to a standstill, and the conductor got off, and found a boy of twelve or four teen years of age asleep in the barrow, It required a considerable effort to arouse him, and when he became sensivle of the situation his "heart was too fall for utter» ance." He had been gathering firewood, and had lain down to rest without considerâ€" iag the dauger of the situation.
