Upon entering, 1 perceived a young girl, of apparently sixteen or seventeen years of age, seated upon an ottoman, and weeping bitterly. She did not raise her head until Madame Bâ€"â€", calling me by name, introâ€" duced the stranger to me as Miss Grahame.

About tw> hours after, as I was wilking in the garden, I heard a soft, xweet! voice call me by name, I turned, and saw | my new room â€"mate, who, approaching, exâ€" | tended her hand and said in a trembling tone, ‘You must have thought me very rude, when you were so kind to me ; but, indoed, I never was so unhappy before. I feel better now, and have come to ask parâ€" don, and hope to be taken into favour.‘ It was impossible to resist her sad, winning look, and, with my usual impetuosity, I flung my arms around her, and prossed her l to my bosom. From that moment we were inseperable friends. REV, T. HADDON. 1. Old "Kirk, we bid thee now faféwell, Evelyn was just sixteon ; and never did a sweeter face, or a warmer heart, animate a lovely form. . Her features were not regularly beautifal, but the expression of almost angelic purity which pervaded her. countenance when in rpose, made her more beautiful than the most studied reguâ€" larity of feature could have done. The exâ€" tremo gentleness of her manners, the halfâ€" reluctant, half confiding way she had of speaking of herself, made me think her as weak and timid until I knew her better. She was never gay, but always cheerful ; and never did I see her polished brow rufflied by a frowm. She was the only child of fond and wealthy parents ; and the fame of Madame Bâ€"â€"‘s school had induced them to entrust their daughter to her care for a year, in order that she might finish her education. Six months passed away, and Evelyn and myself were still inseporable. We unâ€" folded to each other every secret of our hearts ; and L often smile now to think with how much importance we treated & thousand wifling : things. We. would sit hours together by the window in our little reom, laying plans for the futureâ€"that future so short and sad to my sweet friend. Beloved Evelyn ! dear companion! thine was a sad lob;â€"borne to all that , could make life joyous, yet doomed to so cruel a In one of our confidences, not long after her arrival, she spoke to me of oneâ€"very dear to herâ€"a cousin a midshipman in the nary. â€" He had spent several months with her family, and had sailed only a few days before she left home ; but ere they parted, he had won her consont to an engagement, which was to bchpt.mfronafluli; til ber return from school. ‘He will be home just about that time,‘ said she, in No longer we noed thee ; Our gratefulnoss we now may tell, As from thy courts we free. conelusion _g. a5. uape® Sss n 0n } Evelyn Grahame. A TALE OF TRUTH. DURHAM, Co. Grey, JANUARY 22, 1880. Whole No. ‘te will then tell father all, Evelyn was very much distressed at this. She felt sure that Arthur would reach home before her, and she had promised to meet liro there but she was forced to submit. After some little persuasion she consented to accompuny me to my fathsr‘s summer residence, a few miles from town. She was charmed with the scemery, and arrived ia much better spirits than I expected at ‘Lilly Grove,‘ the fancitul name my dear mother had bestowed upon our dear, beauâ€" tiful home. The day after our arrival Everlyn received a letter, which had been forwarded to her from school, where it had been directed. It was from Arthur Noel, the first she had received from him. How brightly her eyos beamed as she rend it ! Fourteen months of separatien had failed to eraso her image from his heart. He had arrived in port, and thinking she would soon be on her return home, designâ€" ed to meet her there. ‘Oh, Ellen !‘she exclaimed, when she had finished reading the precious missive, ‘I neve1 felt before how iruly, how devotâ€" edly I am his !‘ Poor Evelyn; she loved with a woman‘s first, deep, passionate loveoâ€"a love that either makes or mars her happiâ€" nessâ€"a love that rude neglect may chill, but naught but death destroy. In the meantime, Arthur Noel, Evelyn‘s lovér, was still at sea ; but the time was drawing near when ho would return. ‘The m »nths rolled swiftly by : and as the period approached for her leaving school, Evelyn became more impatient each day. She was expecting her father to come for her, when a letter arrived, telling her that it was impossible for him to leave his busiâ€" ness, and that she would be obliged to reâ€" main at school for a few weeks until some good opportunity offered for her returning home, Six months, as I have said, passed away, each day only endearing Evelyn Grahame more to my heart. About this time she received letters from home announcing the death of Mrs. Grakame‘s only sister, Mrs. Dutton : and also thut the latter‘s eldest child, a daughter, one year older than Evelyn, had been adopted by her aunt. Mrs. Gr abame wrote in the most flattering manner concerning Sarah Dutton ; and from the letters the young girl herself wrote to Evelyn,I was led to entertain a high opinion of her mind and hemit. Evelyn had often visited her aunt, and therefore knew her cousin well. She often spoke to mein the warmest manner of Sarah‘s beauty and amiability. The next week brought my dear Evelyn another tender letter. Arthur had reached home, and thugh much disappointed at not meeting her there, felt obliged, he said, to amother his desire to fly to her,as so sudden a move before he had visited his own family would cause ‘very unpleasant remarke.‘ Evelyn was chagrined at this, and so was . Oh, how often does her image come beâ€" fore me, as she stood and blushingly told me of her joyful hopes! What a blessed thing it is that wo know not the trials the mysterious future has in store for us 1 We can at least be happy in anticipations ; and if our bright dreams aro dissipated by a dark and mournful reality, memory can still lessen the gloom of many a lonely hour by recalling those pleasant visions. I. We had both yet to learn how little of tke world‘s opinion a man is willing to sacrifice for the sake of the one ho pretends to love. My friend, however, said little upâ€" on the subject ; but I saw that she anxiously awaited the coming of the following week, when she felt sure of again hearing from her lover. The week came, but brought disappointmentâ€"there was no letter. Three weeks more of great anxiety were passed, and still Evelyn heard nothing from home. She was beginning to be seriously alarmed, when one morning, at the beginning of the fourth week, I flew to her room with a letter that the servant had just brought from the village postâ€"office. She grasped it eagerly â€"the superscription was Arthur‘s. She broke the seal, but, as if a sudden presentiâ€" ment of evil had come over her, she laid it down, and sinking into a chair, burst into tears. â€" and we shall be so happy ® ‘Ellen,‘ said she, ‘you must read it first â€"I have not courage ; I feel as if it conâ€" tained bad news.‘ I laughed at her, but she insisted. upon my reading it first. ~4 took it up opened it, and silently. read as follows : "Drarest Everyx,â€"You will be surâ€" prised 1pon receiving this; to find that I | am still in your city instead of being with my own family ; but you will, L fear, be: pained to learn the object that detains me. Ob, Evelyn, would that we had never met! â€"or, rather,{ would shat I had died, ere I «trove to win your fond, pure heart to inyâ€" self! But Evelyn, I know you well; beâ€" neath a gentleness which angels might covet, you bear a proud, firm spirit ; and I know further, that you would rather learn the truth now, painful as it may be, than ‘ some time hence, when it would ba too late to repair the evil. I came here with‘ a heart full of love and joy at the prospect of seeing you again. â€" I ‘was disappointed, .most sincerely so, at not meeting you. But} another filled your place in the mnily‘ }'udo-on orphan cousin Sarah. . L will not say gught in ber praise, for you hn“ seen and loved her,; butâ€"must I confess it ?â€"day after day found, me lingering at her Wgflo music of a voice hat I have never heard equalled ; and, ere A4ong, Liearned to know how. sadly L had mistaken my feelings towards you, Evelyn! Condemn me, curse me, if yrou willâ€"I love l In an hour I knocked at her door, and l called her by name. *Do not come in yet,‘ i she said, but in @ voice so hoarse and holâ€" i low, that L could scarcely believe it hers; 1 ‘do not come in yet;I am not what you wish to see me.‘ | Never never shall I forget the look with | which she received me. _ Her color was ; more brilliant than I had ever seen it, but | her oyes were dull and fixed, and a ghastly | smile played around her mouth, as she | bade me enter ; but the expression of her | forehead if we may use the term, shocked | me more than all else. It seemed to have | grown old â€"twenty years in advance of the rest of her face. It was wrinkled, and | literally old, with the agony of thought she | endured. ‘Ellen,‘ said she, in the same . bollow tone with which she had addressed imo at the deor, ‘Elleo, I have sent for | you to ask you where is now all my boastâ€" } ed firmness; where my pride, my dignity ? ] Ab, Ellen! I was never cried before. You think m calmâ€"despair makes me so. I | did not arrive at despair even without a E hard struggle; and now, my heart, full freighted as it was with the fondest hopes ; girl ever cherished, lies erushed and dying beneath the waves of that gloom which will henceforth be my portion in life.‘ She ceased, spd for a moment stood silent ; }then suddenly looking tp, she said in a |calmer voice, ‘I am very silly to talk in i this way to you. Do not weep, dear Ellen ; | you see I can bear my sorrow without } weeping. Read my answ< and, tell me ‘how you like it.‘ C I retired to my own room, and there wept for my friend, as I had never wept for myself. I trembled for the consequenâ€" ces that might ensue. I knew how deeply Arthur was beloved, and I could not but fear that even Evelyn‘s firm spirit could not bear the blow with fortitude. ‘Oh, say not that !‘ she again exclaimed,‘ ‘you would have me think hiimn false; but that cannot be, Arthur loved me. Oh, say that he loves me still.‘ She sunk at my feet as she said this, and burying her face in my dress, sobbed violently. ‘Evelyn,‘ I said, endeavouring at the same time to raise her, ‘Evelyn, you have n hard trial before you, but one which I know your womanly pride will enable you to bear with fortitude. I will leave you ; read that letter yourself, and when I come again in an hour, lot me tind that my friend bas been trueto herself.‘ I gently disengaged my dress from her clasp,placed the letter in her hand, kissed her cheek, and left the room. madly love Sarah! Ob, Evelyn! what words to write to you, my own nobleâ€" hearted cousiu{j but you may perhaps thank me for my candor. As yet I have not engaged myself to Sarahâ€"all rests with you. To you I owe all my duty and my hand ; say but the word and it is yours for ever. I do not ask you to release me from roy engagement ; but baving told you all, shall most anxiously expect your an swer. My heart is breaking, Evelyn, at the thought of the pain this may cause you; ome who has so traitorously repaid your love. ArtHUR Noxt." The letter bad evidently been penned in a state of great agitation. I thought it the wildest thing I ever read, but, at the moâ€" ment, indignation mastered every feeling. I continued silent for some moments aiter I had finished reading itâ€"for I was too much distressed to speak. I did not know how to break the matter to my friend. I knew she had been watching my face for some secomds, and my feelings must have revealed themselves very strongly: but when she saw me standing so long silent she said, ‘Tell me what that letter contains to move you so gauch.‘ Her voice trembled as she spoke, but sesing me a{i!l silenot, she sprung towards me, and graspin¢ my hend exclaimed, ‘Have mercy on me, Ellen,! Tell me what it is ; I can bear all,anything, so that Arthur is well." Once again that morning I attempted to see her, but sho still refused to admit me, and it was not until eight o‘clock in the evening that my maid came and told me that Evelyn wanted to see me. ‘He is well, Evelyn,‘ said I ; ‘it would be better for you, poor girl, if he were dead,‘ Mechanically I took the paper she handâ€" ed me ; and through my tears read the following concise letter :â€" ‘Miss Grabhame presents her compliâ€" ments to Mr. Noel, and is extremely happy that sghe has it in her power to gratify him. Mr. (’oel might have spared himself any anxiety on the oc:asion, as, had he known } Miss Grahame better, he would have felt sure that she Would never have laid a serious claim to a midshipman‘s prom‘ise to a thoughtless school girl. He will,thereâ€" fore, accept Miss Grahame‘s congratulaâ€" tions on the prospect of felicity before him ‘ and believe that no better wishes will folâ€" low him and his brile to the altar than‘ will be offered by her.‘ ‘ It is understood that the Roman Cathoâ€" lio See of Ottawa will shortly be erected into an archâ€"diocese, to whigh will be atâ€" tached to the suffragan sees of Pembroke and Hull, 1 Great destruction of property and some loss of life has been caused by a terrible tornado in Oregon and Washington ‘Terriâ€" sory.

Youth and age are the antipodes of man on earth. The initial and terminal periods: of his terrestrial existence ; they indicate | the different stages in the progress of culture; ‘ | and by the association of ideas, they bring ; before us his relations to present and past | generations, not simply as prior to him in ‘ | the development of his mental being by j their personal contact, their various instiâ€" tutions, and traditionary Jove. Youth and ‘ age are, therefore, two significant periodl‘ I in the lite of man. ‘The one is the mould of the other ; the one stands to the other: ! in the relation of spring to harvest ; each \ has its peculiar interest, advantage and t beauty. At a festal party of old and young, | the question was asked, ‘*Which season ot | life is the most happy ?" After being freely discussed by the guests, it was referred for answer to the hos}, upon whom was the burden of fourscore years. He asked if they {had ncticed a grove of trees before the j dwelling,and said," When the spring comes, lund in the soft air the buds are breaking ‘ on the trees, and they are covered with ! blossoms, I think, How beautiful is Spring! : And when the summer comes, and covers the trees with its heavy foliage, and singâ€" ‘ ing birds are among the branches, I think, How beautiful is Summer! Whon the | autumn loads them with golden fruit, and their leaves bear the gorgeous tint of frost, I think, How beautiful is Autum! And when it is sere Winter, and there is neither foliage nor fruit, then I look up through the leafless branches and see the stars . shine." 1. Youth takes the form, color, and di / rection of that which preceeds and surrounds it, We come into the would with nothing but mere potentialities, which require to be drawn out by persons and things around us. â€" From infancy, we are surrounded and acted upon by educative influences and plastic circumstances. The mother‘s sweet kiss and fond embrace,the father‘s directive counsel and approving smile, the sisters gentle manners and warm affections, the brother‘s constant playfuluess and uproarâ€" jous fun ; but, besides the caresses, the enâ€" dearments, the accompaniments, and asâ€" sociations of home we come under the moulding influences of our schoolfellows, of our companions, of men and things around us. We become the subject of the bleased influence of one true loving human soul cn another. Ideas are often poor ghosts ; our sunâ€"filled eyes cannot discern them ; they pass athwart us in thin vapour, and eannot make themselves felt. But somctimes they are made flesh ; they breathe upon us with warm breath, they touch us with soft responsive hands, they look at us with sad sineere eyes, and speak to us in appealing tones ; they are clothed in a living human soul, with all its conflicts, its faith, and its love. Then their presence is a power, then they shake us like a passion, and we are drawn after them with gentle compulsion, as flame is drawn to flame. â€"As a rich legacy towards the same end we inherit the currents of influences, the treasures of thought, and the lessons of experience, which kave come down to us trom the remotest ages of antiquity. Again, as great factors in our intellectual improveâ€" ment we enjoy the progress, the civilization, and the privileges of modern times. So favored by the providential arrangement of things, can we fail to avail ourselves of the propititious cireumstances of our poâ€" sition, and neglect the culture of our intelâ€" lectual, morel, and spiritual nature 2 (n) Youth is the season, when we ought to develope all the powers of the mind by due and proper exercise. Many are the causes and facilities around us ready to draw out and develope the powers of the mind ; but if we do not put ourselves in contact with and avail ourselves of them, we can make ne progress in mental imâ€" provement : for, according to an absolute law in the system of the universe, the exâ€" ercise of the mind is necessary to the deâ€" velopmenrt of the powers of the mind.

(c) Youth is the serson when we should turn our thoughts toward heaven, our eternal home. Heaven is the native manâ€" gion of good men and the place of their enâ€" joyment ; but the indispensable condition of their entering and enjoying it is spiritual mindeduness. Blessed are the pure in beart: tor they shall see God. A bad man can never enter it, and he could not, were he even there, enjoy it. How can we expect to live with God in heaven, if we love not to live with Him on earth ? 1t is a moral impossibility. If so, and there can be no doubt of it, let God be in your heart and betore your eyes. Act in accord with the laws of heaven, contract the habits of heaven ; and heaven shall, then, be to you, even in the early days of youth, the desired abode.

Being a new Parliament, the first business was the eloction of a Speaker, the choice falling, as we anticipated, on Cha«. Clarke,Esq.,member tor Centre Wellâ€" ington. As a gentleman formerly connectâ€" ed with the journalistic profession, we tenâ€" der him our congratulations on his elevatâ€" ion to this dignity, and although differing from him in political views, we may be permitted to say that in our opinion he has earned the pition. Col. Clarke first beâ€" came a mer‘ â€"r of the House at the generâ€" al election i~ 1871, was reâ€"elected by ncelaâ€" mation at t%e general election in 1875, and returned again for the same constituency at the election in June last. Though not taking a very prominent part in the debates of the House, he was looked upon by the Ministerial party s ( their must useâ€" ful men on Comitts > , of the most important of which ; is Accounts and of Printing) he was cuairman during the last Parliament. Several sesssions ago, the practice was adopted of retaining the same chairman each time for Commitses of the whole House, Mr. Clarke being seâ€" lected for the position, and in that capreity bis rulings (on questions often as important as those which came before the Spemker,) were generally regarded as fair, and gave great setisfaction. When a year or two ago, a sixth member was added to the Caâ€" binet, a large proportion <f the House thought Mr. Clarke should havre bhad the position, but having passed over him on that occasion, the Ministry have now made amends by giving him the Speakership. While his election to the office shows the estimation in which be is held by his poâ€" litical friends, we think we are safe also in saying that the election of no other Minisâ€" terial member as Speaker would have givâ€" coinage, and is insisting that the engravers shall now depict her as she is, ama not as she was in the bloom of her maidenhood. en greater satisfaction to the Opposition than that of Mr. Clarke of Wellington.â€" Owen Sound Times.
