Joim found himself next morning in a wo6‘ul coudition, and was soon acquainted with the whole process and the reason on which it was ? rade. â€" He had no remedy but to submit, | for he would rather have endured ten blisâ€" | ters than lose his place. â€" His lordship sent ‘ very formally twice a day to know hLhow he | did, and frequently coagratulated his lady | upon John‘s recovery, whom he directed to be fed only with waterâ€"gruel, and to have | no company but an old woman who acted as nurse. "Ay," replied my lord, "to be sure he has behaved very well, and : hall have proâ€" per advice." "Ay," says my lord, "is poor Jolin sick ? Alas, I am sorry for bim." "I am complaining," says my lady, "tLat he is drunk and has overturned me." My lady, finding it useless to remonâ€" stzate, went away in a passion, and the earl,having ordered Jolin into his presence, addressed him very coolly in these terms ; "John, you know that I have regard for you, and as long as you behave well you shall always be taken care of in my family. My lady tells me you are taken ill, and I "Ay," said his lordship, "he has lived with me from a child, and as you say, a aifte of wag s should rot pait us." Joim, Lowsver, one cvening, as he was driving fram Konsington, overturned his lady in Hyds Park. Though not mueh hurt, yet whe s she came home she began to rattle the earl. see that you can hardly stand ; go to bed and I will take care that you have prope: advice." ing very imperfectly, he would always form his own answers, not by what was said to him, but by what he desired to have said. Among ot_er sercinis was one vho hal lived with him from a child, and seryed him with great fidelity in several eapacities, till at length ne became coschman. This man by degrees got a batbit of drinking, for which his lady often desivred he might be dismissed. _ My lord always answered, "Yes, indeed, Joln is au excelâ€" lent servant." "I say," replied the lady, "that he is continually drunk, and therefore desire he may be turned off." In about a week, John having con<tantly sent word that he was well, his lordship thought fit to understand the messenger, and said he was extremely glad to hear the fever had quite left him. When John came in, "We‘l, Tâ€"hn," says his lordship, "I hope this bout is over." "Ay, my lord," says "John, I humbly ask your lordship‘s pardon, and I promise never to commit the same fault again." "Ay, ay," replied my lord, "you say right ; nolody can prevent sickness, and if you should be ill again, John, I shall see it, though perhaps you would not complain; and I promise you that you shall have al. ways the same advice and the same attendâ€" ance that you Lave had now," . The father of the Late Earl of Pembroke had many good qualities, but always perâ€" sisted inflexible in his own opinion, which, with his conduct, was often very singular, Iis lordship thoug‘.t of an ingenious axpeâ€" dient to prevent the complaints of those ubout him, and this was to feign himseli deat ; and thus under the pretence of hearâ€" Thank your lordship," says Joihin, "I hope there will be no need." "So do I," says the earl; "but as long as you perform your duty to me, John, I will do ming to you, never fear." John then withdrew, and so dreided the discipline hbe had undergowe that he never was known to be drunk again. The Earl and His Soachman.

It lends its choicest soothing balm, In time of irksome grief, The turbid stream of woe to calm, And bring a sweet rolicf, Go where you will, you cannot find, E‘en at great Mammon‘s mart, A dearer or a richer goim, Than woman‘s loving Leart ; . No! man on this terrsstrial sphere, Ne‘er kn +w of wealth so groat, . Ne‘er did be find a charmn 10 dour, As this sweet charm innate. There‘s nothing like the heart that feels Love‘s pure untarnished ray, It hath a charm of pricelosa weul, When robed in Love‘s array, And though all outward charins are gone, By Time‘s destroying dart, Yet brighter still doth blossom on, The fudcless loving heart. DURHAM, Co. Grey, DECEMBER 11, 1879. A Loving Heart PonThÂ¥ J. McG I Mr. MeMaullen, Mount Forest, was then called uper. â€" He said that in dealing with !thcsg inatters the increase in population would from a good eriterion of the advance in wealth and erivilization of the different cotrnties, and therefore of the necessity tor a change of some kind. He then proceedâ€" ed to qtiote the figures for 1851 as comâ€" pared with 1871 for the various counties. showing that in the twenty years interval the population of Bruce had increased from 2,838 to 48,515, or over seventeenâ€"fold; that of Wellington and that of Porth had almost trebled ; Grey had quadrupled ; Huron was now 60,165, having increased sevenâ€"fold ; Simeoe had more than doubl ed ; Waterloo had increased from 26,537 t: 40,251; and York from 48,914 to 59,882. These increases would no doubt be found: to be much larger when the eensus of 1881 ‘ was taken. _ He then drew altehlion to the great distances which large uumhcrs‘ of the people had to go in order to rcuc]nl‘ their county towns. From Mount Forest to Owen Sound was 43 miles, and irom the same place to Guclph, by rail, was .’ul miles,. â€" The whole leugth between Guelph | and Owen Sound was 84 miles. He thereâ€" {ore considered, as did the people whem he represented, that there was room for tha f.rmation of a new county. In the courty of Wellington, they had forty â€"four Reeves and Deputyâ€"Reeves, each of the townships having two or mere, and thus the people were put to much expense in‘ convening their County Councils. Furthor, the county was so large that those in one section had no interest in the affairs of another, and it was impossible for the Council properly to legislate for the whole, and the object of each member wns' simply to secure all he could for his own : section. | The Attorneyâ€"Generalâ€"Does experience show that there is nothing of that kind in the small counties 2 Mr. MeMullenâ€"It is found that the rate of taxation for general improvements is lowâ€" er in a small than in a large county. The Attorneyâ€"Generalâ€"How about the township rate in such a case ? Mr. MeMallen proceeded to give other reasons for the reduction in the size of these counties, such as the lessening of expense of serving writs, the shortening of the session of Assize, and others. At the request of the Attorneyâ€"General he pointed out the county which he wished to bave formed, and which included the townâ€" ships of Egremont, Proton, Normanby, Arthur, Luther and Minto. A delegate stated that the experience of the County of Peel had shown that there was a reduction in the township rate as well. Mr. Yeomans, however, assured him that they were quite prepared to leave the matter in the hands of the Government, eofident that as they had solved so many difficult problems they could bring this to a happy issue also. Besides,tley had come merely to advocate the general principle of redistribution, leaving the facts and figures to be supplied at another time. Mr. Yeomans, of Mt. Forest, endorsed what had been said by his colleagne, and referred to the wonderful growth which had taken place in that seetion of country within his own experience, The Attorneyâ€"Genveral asked for some suggestions as to the best means of acâ€" complishing the olject they aimed at. He held that the delegates should bring forâ€" ward their own plans, as they were better acqrainted with the country than he cou‘!d possibly be. Mr. Robertson, of Harriston, said that great changes had taken place in the counâ€" ties interested in this agitation, yet their boundaries remained the same. If the Government would agree that the question of change was worthy of consideration On the'spenkcr referring to the saving to be effected in mileage for County Counâ€" cillors, the Attorneyâ€"General asked what was the mileage in this county. The exâ€" act figures could not be ascertained, but it was given rcughly at about $1,000 a year. The deputation was introduced to h Attorneyâ€"General by Mr. Jackson, who cxplamed chat thcir mission was to find out whether the Governwen; would be prepared to introduce a genersl scheme by which districts, when they became sufâ€" ficiontly wealthy and populous, could seâ€" parate from the counties in which they were, and from themselves into separate ecunties, much the same s was allowed to the junior counties. l A deputation made up of representatives | from the counties of York, Simeoe, Huron, | Bruce#Wellington and Porth waited upon i the Attorneyâ€"General on Monday, to urge f upoun hira the importance of a redistribuâ€" 'tien of Counties. The names of the deleâ€" ; gates wore as follows : â€" Messrs. Jolin Hogg, T. 0. Earl, and W. J. Frame, Colâ€" l lingwood ; A. Meiklejolhn and Bamuel Roâ€" bertson, Harmston ; D. D. Hay, M. P.

The Attorneyâ€"General said that when imvestigating this matter on a former ocâ€" easion he had found that the agitation in its favour appeared to be mainly in the towns and not in the townships. He had found also much favour for it in a general way, but when he came to showing the specific way in which the change shenuld be effected, tobhe stemed to be prepired. It was, therefore, an exccedingly difMenit matter, immensely more so than the Munic‘pal Loan Fand Distribation, or any oth>r difficult matters which the Governâ€" mont had dealt with. (Laughter.) But in any e se they had not brought that matter before him in such a way that he could hold out any hope of its being taken up at the approaching sesssion. He had informed Mr. Jackson that it had »ot been the intentio' the Government to take up any legislation of this kind. From the many conflicting views and interests to be met, and the many local considerations to be caleulared upon, there would be hardly time to give attention to the matier at the next session. mb d d s s Although unfinished, the towers of the Cologne Cathedral are even now the highâ€" est buildings in the world, measuring 157 and 160 metres respectively in altitude, as compared with the Nicholas Tower in Hamburg, measuring 144.20; St. Peter‘s at Rome, which measures 143; the Munster at StasLurg, 142 ; the Pyramid of Cheops, 137 ; St. Stephen‘s Cathedral at Vienna, 185.20 ; the Cathedral at Antwerp, 123.40; the Dome of Florence, 119, and St. Paul‘s in London, which measures 111.30 metres, The use of shells in certain industrics and mianufactures, according to Mr. Simmonds‘ recent work, "Commercial Products of the Sea," has become large avd imporiant of late years, and few persons, comparatively realize the variety of their practical adap tations. _ Among thess various applicaâ€" tions, mention may be made of pacreous shells, employed for making pearlâ€"buttons and other usefol and ornamental articles; the pearly and iridescent shells for ornaâ€" menting paperâ€"mache work, making cardâ€" cases, folios, jewelâ€"cases, ctc.; the various small shells, for making shell flowers, and different fancy articles of grouped shells, and for ladies‘ bracelets, headâ€"dresses, and the like; the shells from which are carved cameos to set in brooches, bracelets, neckâ€" laces, scarfâ€"pins, sleeveâ€"links and similar contrivences; shells for spoons, drinking vessels, lamp:, k ifeâ€"hand‘es, souffâ€"\oxes and pipes; shells for producing the purest kind of lime when calcined, also for manâ€" ure in the form shell sand and shellâ€"marl, avd for making potteryâ€"ware, and a glaze or enamel, when crushed, They also serve as stadies of design, form anud color, in many instances, for the seulptor, painter azd art manufactcrer,. As is well known, he most beautifal shelis come from the paâ€" cific and Australian coasts. The sun, by the greater heat it throws on the seas near the equator, would seem to have some effect in heightening the colors of the shells proâ€" duced in the tropical zones, and theu the uature of the food of the animals is thought to give them that lustre and brilliancy which are wanting in the shells of colder latiâ€" Messrs. Hoge, Juckson, Campbell, of Lucknow, Mr. Hay, M. P. P., and others gave their views, Mr. Seott, of Listowel, said that these counties were divided into seetions or ridâ€" ings for legislative purposes, and he did not understand why they could not be divided for municipal purposes ns well. The build‘ngs of the cotinty of Perth were old and would have to be renewed, and thouse in Guelph would also have to be repaired or rebuilt in a very short time, Mr. Scott also was not prepared to say that he would rather have the change made if it were to be made on the plan suggested by Mr. Meâ€" Mullen. The Attorneyâ€"General asked if he would préfer to have a county formed as sugge«tâ€" ed by the first sptaker with Mount Forest for the county town,or have things remain as they were. Mr. Campbell said that was a question he would hardly care to answer. (Laughâ€" ter.) Mr. Campbell, of Listowel, also pointed out a number of the material advantages which would acerue from thne rearrarigeâ€" ment of the counties. l Mr. Meiklejobhr, of Harriston, alladed to the presence together of representatives ’from Listowel, Mount Forest, and Harrisâ€" ton as a proof that there was a widespread and carnest feeling in favour of the prinâ€" eip‘e of redistribution. He held that the trade question was the principal one to be considered. A few years ago, before the advent of railways, all the trade of his section had been done in Guelph, but now it was retained at home. To traders in his own and other towns it was a most inâ€" convenient thing to have their suits tried in Guelph, they world produce all the information |necesssry to act upon, and the people of hiis o#n fown would map out a fine little ’cm.utv with Harriston as the centre of it. i(Lsnghter.) He alluded to the changes which had taken place in cutting off the county of Peel and others, and did fiot see but that the people of ths inland countics were quite as good as thoso in the front. On being present to define the county he wished to eslablish he stated that it would include the township of Minto, Maryâ€" borough, Wallace, Howick, Normauby,and Arthur, A few days ago Clura invited her consin to accompany her on a hunting expeâ€" dition. _ They started from the house shortly after breakfist, Alice with a doubleâ€"barrelled gun and Clara with a rifle. Aftcr scouring the woods for several hours without much success they visited "Dark Swamp." This swamp embraces several hundred acres, is densely wooded, and bears are frequently ecen thore. The girls reached the edge of the swamp at noon, and started into the thicket. They had gone but a short distance when Miss Corey, who was walking a few yards beâ€" hind her cousin, heard a crackling noise in the bushes, a short distance back. Look: ing around she saw a large black bear comâ€" ing toward her. Clara, who had frequently encountered theso shaggy monsters, called to her frightened cousin to come to her. She then drew her rifle to her shoulder, and, taking a deliberate aim at the animal, awaited until it came within easy range, and then fired. The bear uttered a howl of pain and fell bleeding. As Clara‘s rifie was a singleâ€"barrelled one, she sceized the doubleâ€"barrelled gun from her cousin and discharged both barrels at the inturiated animal, in the hope of kiliing it outright. Kaut, with the disappearance of the smoke from the gun, the bear was seen writhing, but not dead. The brave young woman then approached cautiously to within reach« ing distance of the wounded animal, and, taking from a large leather belt encircling her waist a boneâ€"handled deer hnife,plunged it to the hilt into the bear‘s neck. At this moment the dying monster gave a sudden lunge and fastened its sharp claws into the girl‘s shirts.pulling her down. Her fright> ened cousin ran about wildly and screamed at the top of her voice ; but, as there was no house with‘n two miles, her cries were not heard. She then returned to where Clara was still struggling with the animal. The bear still held the girl in its grasp, but was rapidly growing weaker. The girl was all the time using ber knife with good efâ€" fect. She dealt the dyicg animal blow after blow until he finally released its hold and rolled over dead. ‘ Though very much exhausted and conâ€" giderably scratched by the bear‘s claws, Clara, with the assistance of her cousin, was soon able to walk. ‘They imarked the spot where the dead hear lay, and then reâ€" turned home. Clara‘s father and brother drove to the swamp and brought the bear in, which, when dressed, weighed 840 pounds. The skin is to be sent to a New York taxidermist to be stuffed, and it will be kept by the young woman as a souvenir Hunter‘s Range, Pa., Nov. 27.â€"About a month ago Miss Alice Corey, of New York city, came to visit her uncle, a German, who owns a small firm in the mountains, six miles northwest of this place. Miss Corey is about 16 years old, and her parents are well to do. Her uncle has a daughter, Clara; also aged aboat 16 years. Her father having but one son, Clara has for years helped to do the work on the fum, and she has become an expert shot with a rifie. She has a mania for hunting, and she frequently goes into the forest in search of game. which would be tribntary to the new eapiâ€" |£nll. In fact, the whole movement has its origin and life on account of the claims of rival villages, and we have yet to learn that the rural municipalities have taken the first steps for separation or redistribution. Under the cireumstances, therefore, we think the Attorneyâ€"Genera! was quite justiâ€" fied in announcing to the delegates that the Governiment could nct during the approachâ€" ing session deal with the question ; than in fact it could not be taken up or entertainâ€" ed till after a new census was taken. If the schome is taken up at all it must be done on a comprehensive scale, #nd altoâ€" gether irrespective of any local or sectional interests, and if it »ver comes to a question to be deciicd by the people, we trast that: the roral municpalities will have a chnnce} to give a vote oi the matter. As faras we can judge they manifest no desire for reâ€" ‘ organization, and if they are allowed the privilege of a free and unbigssed vote, we will find that they have no special desire for the erection of now conuties, which will only benefit the villages which may be forâ€" tunate enough to be numed as County seats. 1 â€"Guelph Mercury. it | of her torrible struggle and fortunate esâ€" cape. An icfluential deputation waited on the Hon. Mr. Mowat on Monday, with the view of asking hinv to take some action in the Legislature for the general rearrangement of Countiesâ€"more especially in the north part of the Province. The argumenrts brought forward by most of the speakers were plausible enough and well put, and dealt mainly with the question of expense.
