"Not believe them!" gasped the girl. *"Why, you ain‘t a heathen be you ?" «"Superstition!" I exclaimed angrily, "tell your mistress for me that I do not wish my child to learn those senseless hymus. I do not believe in them, nor doI intend she shall." "I‘m sorry,manm, because we allloved the little Dudu so much, and she‘s real sweet. She can sing ‘Jesus Loves Me‘ all through and not miss a word." % We won‘t be able to lend the baby any more, Mary; her papa and I both think it aim‘t a good plan, and we cannot think of doing without her; the house is too lonely. Tell your mistress so with my compliâ€" ments." The baby came home. She was nonurly two years old,but,after all, only a baby, and as I took her from the girl I said: > I forgot to say that Jobn and I were both free thinkers, and did not go to churéh or subscribe to any of the religious beliefs to which we had been educated. We had both graduated in a brilliant intellectual school, utterly devoid of the foolish superâ€" stitions of any religious faith, and we inâ€" tended to bring up our child in the severely moral atmosphere. It did not onee occur that ours was the strength of youth and presumption, or that our ignorance could pull down in a day what knowlege had been a thousand yoars building. We felt that we were sufficient to ourselves, and our child. **Well, no, of course not; but I don‘t proâ€" pose to have strangers going halves with our baby. Besides I won‘t have them teaching that child any more nousense of the religiâ€" ous sort, and they may as well know it; when they bring her back this time you may as well sottle it up once for all." "But nct like ours, John," I said quickly. "Why can‘t they get a baby of their own, and not always be borrowing ours? he said crossly. "They conld go over to the Asylum and take their pick of all the babies there." The speaker was a rosyâ€"chooked girl who lived with the family across the way. It was a regular nuisance, this lending the baby all the time. She did not seem to belong to us at all any more. I suppose we were all a Little jealous because she did love these new people so much, and they took so much pains with her, teaching her so many little cunning ways and pretty sayings and ; I must say they were most judicious, never giving her sweet things to make her sick, or let her take cold. So, for the hundredth time, I rolled little Dudu up and kissing her goodâ€"bye, sent her off to act her part as a borrowed baby. When John came home to dinner and found the baby gone again he was just as angry as could be. | And when his day is past and gone, And only known to fame, Cansdian hands shall bind a wreath Round Edward Hanlan‘s name, Flesherton, February 15, 1881.

Termisus Murner asxp Sutcm®.â€"The Chatham Planet gives the following partiâ€" culars of the murder and suicide commitâ€" ted near Comber on Monday last:â€"Connice is a wealthy old farmer of that section and has had two wives, and a doulle family. The old man‘s wealth was a source of trouble to himself and his two lots of childâ€" ren, and fumily disagreoments were freâ€" quent among thein, more particularly since he had made a will. O2 Monday nmight last thoy were engaged in hogâ€"killing and‘ all went well until the evening, when someâ€" thing interfered to break the momentary harmony, and the woman was heard to sry something in Dutch to her husband which the hired help did not understand but which at once awoke a tempest in the old man. Ho dropped his work and went after his wife into the house and a moment after the report of m revolver was heard. One of the hired men rushed in to interfere and found Mrs. Connice wounded upon the floor. He ventured toward Conmice but was told to stand back or he would get shot. The old man then turned the muzzle of the weapon to his own forehead and fired. He died almost instantly, but the wife lingered nearly two hours in agony. This vietim of his own termible passion was 60 years of nge. The dreadful tragedy has staggored the villagers. _ BruaxeDn to DzatH.â€"A serious calamity befel a colored man on the farm of Mi. J. Longman, near Stirton, last week. It appears that a darky named Lepscomb, from the neighborhood otf Guelph, was in that section secking for wood to burn for charcoeal, and gotting permission from Mr. Longman to go on to his place, he brought his wifo and child and prepared to ply his vocation. _ In the first place, he built a kind of shauty, to protect himself and famâ€" ily from the wenther, out of fence rails, and covered it with pea straw, keeping a fire at the entrance. During the night, finding that the charcoal pit had broken out, he: and his wife got out to repair the breach, and almost immediztely afterwards he disâ€" covered that his shanty had taken fire, and before the child could be got out it was so badly burned that it died a fow days afterâ€" wards.â€"Gueliph Mercury. From the Mercury Aberfoyle, Feb. 16.â€"A serious and fatal affuir took place last night on Augus Stewart‘s place, in the township of Pusâ€" linch. ‘I‘wo colored children from Guelph about fifteen and seventeen years old, named Parker, were burning charcoal, and they lived in a cave made by diyging a hole in a hill and covering the roof over with rails and earth. ‘Thore was a fire burning in front of the cave close to the opening, 'with brush wood piled all round close to ‘ the fire, and the brush caught fire while they were asleop,about 11 o‘clock last night, mid it appears the way out was blocked up by the flames. The boy was awakened by the fire and called tohis sister to run. He ren through the fire bhimself, but the girl kept erying out and did not attempt‘ to get throagh. The boy‘s clothing was nearly burnt off him and he is badly burnt, but it is thought will recover. He tried to break through the roof and get his sister ont, but he had no axe to chop through the rails and frozen earth, The girl was nearly consumed, her limbs being all bumt’ off her, and thoir was nothing left but part | of the body. Dr. Orton, of Morriston, was called and ho did all he could for the suffer or, At one o‘clock this afternoon the boy was brought to the General Hospital in this city by Constables Ingram and Blain. And when it passed all over, and only the memory of so much beauty and sweetâ€" nees, and our hearts were going back to the dust and ashes of unbelief, our good neighbor came like an evangelist,and giving us of her own Christian strength, |gained at the foot of the cross, said wisely: "Be conâ€" tented; God has only borrowed the baby." â€"Detroit Free Press. Yes, they sung it at her funeral, for we buried her with no heathen rites, and some good man prefaced a fow consoling words from the text "My grace is sufficient for thee," but oh! the tender melody of the child yoices that sung above her. _ Just at the last there was a moment‘s peace. It was not on us that her last look fell. we turned to see who or what she saw, there stood ourneighbor over the way, whom she, at least, sweet darling, had loved as herself, and then she lifted the weary hands, and a glad look of recognition was in the wan face, and we all heard the last broken words as they fell in awful disâ€" tinctness from the baby‘s lips: "Desus loves me, dis I know." _ Oh, that dreadful time. I cannot recall it now â€"the daysâ€"hardly more than a day â€"of augnish; the awfal suffering, and the end, parched lips and the foyer bright cyes â€"the awful realism of death, and not one hope, one word of comfort, only the eruel, dreary,unlighted grave that yawzed for our darling! gurret of my thought all the evening. When I put Dudu to bed I noticed that her hands were hot and hereyes seemed heavy. There was lots of diptheria in the place, but she had not been exposed to it in any possible manner, our neighbors who borâ€" owed the baby being as afraid ef it as we were, for that was why no baby was in their home. know enough to take care of this little blossom,hey, wee Willie Winkle, don‘t we ?" Somehow just.gbhen an old forgotten text flew across my mind, "My grace is suffiâ€" cient for the," and it ran up and down the Fatal Fire in Puslinch. 4@ +4 But it is to be hoped that the members of the Syndicate, having obtained so good a thing, will see that both self interest and fairmess bind them to make a moderate use of their advantages. ‘They will, it is not unreasonable to suppose, be honestly willâ€" ing to make the Dominion a sharer to some extent in those advantages. So long as they do this, as do it they undoubtedly can, by constructing with reasonable speed a good, substantial railway, by constructâ€" ing as favorably as possible to Canadianinâ€" dustries the clauses exempting their matérâ€" ials from taxation, by declining to press to the utmost the enormous privileges grantâ€" ed them in the selection of lands, and by utting those lands in the market on terms gwomble to immediate settlement and inâ€" imical to the lmildinfi‘ of a huge landed monopoly in the North West, so long shall we, and we feel sure that the great Liberal party of Canada, offer no obstacle, but every facil'i\t‘y to the prompt fulfilment of the terms of the contract. But while they do so they will at the same time jealously watch every step of the â€"syndicate, and of the Government which has created it, which is contrary to the public interest, and b‘{.‘w:orom protests endeavor to seâ€" cure eorrection of obvious evils. By no possibuity can the bargain be made otherwise than bad, but by honest effort ite orrors may be renderod far less injuriâ€" ons than thev now threaten to be, | We :I:fl loui}"ourm _efforte to bring about, cl resul P o ce c o Th ol 290 M The question arises, What is henceforth ‘| the proper attitude for those whose best | endeavours to prevent the consummation of / a bargain so unjust and oppressive have f ‘ been fruitless? The answer dependslargeâ€" ily upon the manner in which the Syndiâ€" i cate uses the immense advantages it has |gained. We have never questioned the | financial abilty or good faith of the memâ€" bers of the Syndicate. ‘They are well able we believe, to carry through promptly and vigorously the gigantic undertaking to which they have put their hands. From a merely business point of view we do not know that they are greatly to be blamed for securing the best bargain possible, If they have done so by fair means they have but done what business men usually do in similar cireumstances. And howâ€" ever contrary to the wishes of the great majority of the people who have to bear a burden and suffer the loss, the contract has ’been legally sanctioned by Parliament. : The possibility of repudiation by a future Parliament has been discussed, _ Some in thoir righteous indignation, "are ready to contend that such a course would be just and right. It must be ad mitted, however, that nothing but the most extreme necessity could justify a measure of thatkind. â€" The Parliament and Government for the time being are, howâ€" ever illâ€"advised or wrongâ€"headed, the legal exponents and executors of the nation‘s will. Their successors and the nation are in honor bound by their action. The reâ€" cognition of any other principle in governâ€" ment would lead to infinitely greater evils than it could possibly cure. Of course here, as in otht‘r cases, the rule must be someâ€" times proven by the necessity for some raro exception,. It is conceivable, for inâ€"| stance, that the hard monopoly the conâ€"| tract pute it in the power of the Syndicate i to establish might at some future day beâ€"| come so intolerable that the claims of| equity would outweigh those of constituâ€"| tional law, and the outraged people do : righteously in refusing to be bound by it. |, m From the Globe of Thursday. .| The act by which an arbitrary Governâ€" , ment, backed by a subservient majority, , |has bound the Dominion to hand over p | $25,000,000 of the people‘s hard earned , | money and 25,000,000 acres of its choicest , |lands to the Pacific Railway Syndicate is ; | consummated. The Opposition in Parliaâ€" . ment protested. ‘The people in tens of , | thousands protested, by public assemblies, ; | by municipal councils, by direct petition. Many of the admirers and supporters of | the Government, in Parliament and out, | protested. But all in vain, Somesupposâ€" | ed political exigency, or an unpatriotic and cowardly dread of admitting that a great error had been committed through haste or ignorance, or some other influence, mysterious but potent, prevailed. â€" So long as the supporters of the measure were able to allego that the terms, excruciating as they were, were the very best that could be obtained, so long as the opponents of the great surrender had nothing but ab-’ stract arguments and common sense deâ€" | monstrations to rely upon, there might have been some force in the contention that the conditions, however hard, were the best attainable, and that it would be unwise to let go a present certainty for a future uncertainty. But the moment & second company came forward voluntarily, a company composed of men of undoubted wealth and probity, the equals in every reâ€" spect of the first Syndicate, and offered to construct the railway for at least $9,000,â€" 000 less in direct subsidy, and on terms whose superiority in other respects could |. lhardly be estimated in money, disinterestâ€" ‘ed observers would have supposed the| question settled. We all know the sequel. |, To underbid the first Syndicate by $3,000,â€" | 000 in hard cash and 8,000,000 acres of| good land, to offer to pay taxes on all taxâ€"| ; able materials used in construction, to|| agree to erasb the monstrous monopoly| clause from the contract,to deposit promptâ€" | ly an immense sum of money as a guaranâ€" | tee of good faithâ€"all was of noavail.

But that they are responsible for the following consequences we defy any living person to deny:â€"They bave pflleed the landp;r&bl»er at an immense advantage over the real settler ; they have locked up large tracts of land in aiternate blocks all over the country, and consequenâ€" tly aggravated tenfold the evil the settlers in every new country have to contend with of being isolated from society; they have by their opcration driven thousands who came here to settle away from the country and l A settler in the township of Louis, Maniâ€" toba, writes to the Globe as follows:â€"Oar present rulers appear to be extromely anxâ€" ious to keep faith with British Columbia, and to be imbued with the idea that all their promises are sacred (w ould that they were!) If they would only show the same anxiety to keep faith with the poor settier here, we could believe in their sincerity. It is quite true, however prosaica) it may sound to refiued ears, that people living in this country need timber to build thei houses and firewood to keep them warm during the long winters. _ lt is also true that when they settled here, it was*with the understanding that the Goverament would sell them timber lots of twenty acres each at a dollar an acre. Well, as soon as we got our homesteads located, our first step was to look after our timber lots. Did we get thein? â€" No. Some way or other the Governâ€" ment forgot all about them, and all ourefforts to this day have failed in putting them in reâ€" meinbraunce of it, Some, it is quite true, managed to get a hold of railroad land havâ€" ing bush on it, but not at a dollar an nere let me tell you, though situated more than threeâ€"score miles from the projected line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Next came the Will‘oâ€"theâ€"wisp land regulations, which no one is able to investigate from the fact that they never remained stationaâ€" ry long enough to be examined.

The British loss was 8 officers and 150 men killed and wonnded. The Boers also captured an ambulance train.
