Wilbur one morning as he sat stirring his coffee with one hand and holding a plum cake on his knee with the other, and looking aero the table into .e It a ee o his the bright f 1. !;flit wife, 1 y r , g "wouldn't it be a good joke to get bachelor Bili Smiley to take widow Watson to the Clinton races,? "You can't do it., Ed, ; he won't • ask her, he's so awful shy. Why, he cane by here the other positing when I was hanging out the clothes, and he looked over the fence and spoke, but when I a'Iook out t. night gown he blusltell like a girl and went away," "1 think I aan n:tfnage it," said Ed. ; "but I'll have to lie just a little. But, thee, it wouldn't be much harem uutler the circumstan- oes, for I know she likes him, and he don't dislike her, but just as you say, he's so shy. 1'11 ,last go over to his place to borrow some bags of him, and if I don't Lam hire before I come back don't kiss me for a week Nelly." So saying Ed. started, and while he is stowing the Gelds we will take a look at Billy Smiley. He was rather a good looking fellow, though his hair and whiskers show. ed some gray hairs, and he had • got in a set of false teeth. But every one said lie was a good soul, and so he was. He had as good a bund• real -acre farts as any in Stanley %vitt' a new house punt everything comfortable, met if ho wanted a Wife, many a gill would have•juutp- ed at the donee like a rooster on a grasshopper. But, Bill was no bashful—always was—end when Span Sberrybottle, whom he was so sweet on, though he never said -"boo" to her, got married to old Watson, lie just drew in his head like a uhud.turte into his shell, and there was no getting hint out again, though is had been noticed that since Susan had become a widow, lie paid more attention to his clothes, and ihad been very regular in his attendance at the church the fair widow attended. 'But here routes E 1. Wilber. "Good morning, Mr. Shiley." •"(,lord morlwg, \Ir. Wilber ; what's news your way?" "Oh, nothing particular that, I know of," said Ed., "uuly the Clin- ton races that 'everyloby aid his girl are gong to. I was over to old Sockrider's last night, and I see Gus has got a new buggy, and was scrubbing up his harness, and he's got that white•faced colt of his as slick as a seal, , 1 understand he thinks of taking willow Watson to the races. He's been hanging around there a good deal of late, but; I'd just like to cut- him out, I would. Susan is a nice little wo- man, and deserves a better elan thaw that young' pup. of a-_ fellow,' . though I would not binlne her if she takes hint, for :she must be dreadfully lonesome, and theft she has to let her farm out owl shares, and it; isn't half worker!, and no one else seems"to have the, aputtk to speak up to her. By jingo ! if I were a ,single roan I'd show you a trick or two." So saying, Ed. borrowed some hags and started arouuttd the corn• er of the barn, where he had left Bill sweeping, alai put his ear to a knot -hole and listened, knowing the bachelor had a habit of talking 'to himself when anything worired hint. "Confound that young bagrider!" saitl Bill, ',what business has he there, I'd like to know ? Got a new buggy has lie? Well, HO have 1, and a new harness, too; and his horse can't get sight of mitre ; and I decltlrr I've half a' mind to—yes, I will ! 1'11 go this very night and ask her to go to t.le races with ate. Lill show Ed. Wilber that ]r ain't such a calf as he thinks I and if I did let. old Watson get the start of the in the fir -t place !" Ed. could scarce help laughing out.riglt, but he finally hitched the •ba ;s on his shoulder, and with a a low chuckle at his success, started home to tell the news to Nellie; and art -about 5 o'clock that evening they saw bill go by with his house end buggy, on his way to the widow's. He jogged along quietly thinking of the old singing.school days—and what a pretty girl Susan was then, and wondering inwardly if the would have more courage to talk up to her—until, at a distance of about a mile from her house, he carte to a bridge, he gave a tre- mendous sneeze that blew his teeth out of his mouth, and clear over the dashboard, and striking ph the planks, they rolled over the side of the bridge, and dropped into four feet of water. Words cannot do justice to poor Bill, to paint the expression of his face as he Fat there—completely dumbfounded at his startll'ng piece of ill luck. After a while he atop - ped nut of his buggy, and getting down on his hands and knees, look- ed over into the wetC.r. Yea, there they were, to the. batten, with ea crowd of little fishes rubbing their noses against theta, and Bill wished to goudneaa that his nose was as eluse for one second. His beautiful teeth that had cost hitt so much, and the races coming ot., ,1u01 ao time to get another set—and the Miaow and souig Suckrider. Well, he must try and get them some- how—and no time to be lost, foi' some one might come along and ask him what he was fooling around there for. He had no notion of spoiling; his clothes by wading in with theta oil, and leeide, if he did he could not go to the widow's that eight, so be took a look up and down 1 he road to see that no one was in sight, and tbeu quickly un- dressed himself, laying his clothes hi the buggy to keep them clean. Then he ran around the bank and waded into the almost icy cold water, but his teeth did not chatter in his head—rte only wished they could. Quickly he waded along SO as not to stir the mud up, and when he got to the right spot he dropped under the nater, and came out his teeth in his hand, and replaced them iu his mouth. But hark ! what noise is that 1 A wagon and a dog barking with all its might, and lis horse is starting. "Whoa whoa ! Stop, you brute you, stop !" But stop he would not,- but went orf at at spanking pace, with the unfor- tunate bachelor after hien. Bill was certainly in capital running costume, but, though he strained every nerve, he could not touch the dui gy or react the lines that were. druggitig ou the ground. After a white his plug hat sho k cif the seat, land the hind wheel went over it, making it as flat as a pancake. fi Il stretched it us he ran, and, after lamming his fist into it, stuck it, :all ,dirty ttil l rutuple 1 on his lead. And tow he saw the widow's house on top of the hill,and, what, oh, what will he do 1 Then his coat fel! out and he slipgred it on, and then slaking a very desper- ate spurt he clutched the Lack of his seat and scrambled in, anal pulling the buffalo robe over his legs; stuffed the otter beneath. Now the horse happtou d to bo one he got of "Squire ;Moore, and he got it frolr) the widow, and be took it into his lend to stop at ler gate, which Bill had no power tao'prevent• as he was too busy butt -Soling his coat up to his chin le think of doing nhtchelse. The willow heard the rattling of the wheels, and looked (int awl see- ing that it %vas -Smiley, rued that he didn't offer to get out, she went 10 see what lie wanted, and there site :stood chatty ril)g with her white, arms on tie top of ler gate, and lar face toward him while the chills, ran clown bis; shirtless back clear to his bare feet beneath •the buf- falo robe, and the water from lis head and the dust from his feet Nod combined to make some nice little streains of mud that came trickling dowu his face. She asked him to come in. No, - he was in . a hurry, he said. Stf11 ho did not otl'er to go, - Ho did not like to ask her to pick up his reins for him because he did not know what excu o-t'o 'make for nit doing it himself. Then he looked down the roach behind him and saw a white-faced horse corning, and at once surmised it was thattIncesGus Sockrider. Ho resolved to do or die, and hurriedly told his errand. The widow would be delighted to go, of Bourse -she worild. Ent wouldn't he coins in. No, he was in a hurry, le said ; I -[o had go on to Green's place. , "Oh," said the willow, "you're going to Green's, aro you? Why, I'm going there my If to get one of the girls to help 1 quilt to- morrow. Just wait a -' '•ond while I get my bonnet and sh ,w1, and I'll ride with you." And away she skipped. "Thunder and lightning !" said Bill,' "what a scrape !„ and he, hastily clutched his pants from be- tween his feet, and was preparing to wiggle into theta, when a light wagon drawn by a white-faced horse, driven by a boy, who held up a pair of boots in ono hand and a pair of socks in the other, and just as the widow reached the gate again, he said : "Here's your boots and socks, Mr. Smiley, that you left on the bridge when, you were in swim- ming. "You're mistaken," said Bill, "They ere not mina" "Why," Haid the boy, "ain't you •• the young than that had the race after the horse just now 1" "No, sir, I .ani not ! You had better go on about your business." Bill sighed at the loss of his Sanday boots, and, turning to the widow' said "Just pick up the lines, will you, please ;, this brute of a horse is always switching them out of my !lands." The widow complied,then he pulled ono corner of the robe cautiously down as she got in. "What a lovely evening, said she, " and so warns I don't think we wan't the robe over tis, do wo?" (You see she had on a nice now dress and a pair of now gaiters, and site wanted to show them ) "Oh, lay !" said hill, earnestly, "you'll find it chilly riding, and 1 ou orldld'llt have you catch cold for the ww." She seemed pleased at this tend- er care for her health, and content- ed herself with sticking one of her little feet ottt with a long silk ueck- tie over the cud of it. "What is that, Mr. Smiley, a necktie 1 "Yes," said he, "I bought it the other day and I roust have loft it in the buggy. Neyer Mind it." 'Batt,' said she, 'it was careless ; and, stooping over, she picked it up and made a ►notion to stuff it in be- tweeen thein. Bill felt her hand going down, and making a.tlivo after it, clutched it in his laud held it hard tend fast. Thou they went ou quite a dis- tance, he still her hand iu his and wondering what he should do when he got to Ureeu'a and she woudore 1 why he slid nut say something nice to her as well as squeeze her hand, why his cunt \vas buttoned up so tightly on such a warn). tV011iug,and what !natio his faeo and lett so dirty, until they tete going down a 1till and one of the traces came un•- hitclhed and they had to stop. 'Oh, 'murder: exclaimed Bill, "'what next 1" "What is the matter, Mr. Smiley?' said the widow, with a start which came near jerking the robe off •iris k nees. "One ol'the truces is off," 3118 Win- ed lie. "Well, why don't you get out and put it on 1,1 "I can't," said hill ; "I've gut— that is, I haven't got—oil, Clear, I'm so sick ! What shall [ do?" "Why, Willie," said she toullelly, 'su•ltat is the matter?' do tell lou." She gave his hand a little squeeze, and looked into his pale face; she tht3ught he was guiug to f;tiut, so site got out her S11Utllltlg bottle \vith her left haute, and pulling the stop- per out with her teeth, she stuck it to his nose. Bill was just taking in breath for a mighty sigh, and the pungent odor made him throw back his head so far that he lost his balance and went over the low back buggy. '.l'ime little wotnail gave a law scream as his bare feet flew past her head ; and cover- ing her face with her hands gave way to tears ur smiles—it is hard to .ell which. Bill was "rigiht sidle tip," in a moment, and leaning over the seat humbly apologising and ex- plaining, \darn rd. Wilbur and his wife and baby ;drove up behiud and stopped. Poor Bill felt that he would rather • have bceu shut than had Ed. Wilbur catch him in such a scrape, but there was nu help for it 110Ws so he called Ed. to -hits and whispered in his ear. 1:d. was like to burst with suppressed la ohtolr but lie beckoned to his wife to draw up, aud, after saying something to her, he helped the widow out of Bill's buggy and into his, and the two 'wUrhlen went 011, leaving the men behind. Bill lost no time in arranging his toilet as well as he,.could,.and.-thea with great per's'uasion Ed. got hull to-gohome wtth him, and hunting srip- pers and socks,, and getting hint washed and9eonibedyirad•hini quite preseu!ftble when the ladies arrived. I need not tell you how the story was all wormed out of bashful Bill, and how they all laughed as they sat around the tea -table that night, but will concludeby 'snyiug that they went to the racestogether, and Bill has no fear of Gus Sockrider now.

CANADA, BEFORE TIIII FALL OF BATOCllb1, ON' THE. RVR 00' A MOST APPALLING INDIAN WAR. Ottawa, August 31.—Dr. A. Jukes, Chief Surgeon of the North-west Mrs -tied Police, in an interview, con- tributes a statement which is calcul- ated to form bistorj'. From investi• gation since the late Northwest, re- bellion he has obtained information tending to show that.Canatla, before the fall of Batoche; was on the eve of one of tlto most appalling Indian wars of modern times. Ile says the victory of General Middleton caused a well-planned uprising to collapse. A11 theglndians of the Northwest, ad well as their allies in the United States, west of the Missouri, the Chinooks, o[ the Rockies, as well as the Flatheads of the Pacific Coast, had agreed to sink their differences t.nd fight the common enemy. Dr - Junes went on to express his belief that the the Indians were acquainted _with every tuove.at the .front just as quickly as the whites. NEWSPAPER LAWS \Ve :•all the sp•bcial attention. of Post netters_and subscribers to the following synopsis of the newspaper laws 1—A postmaster is 'required to give notice BY Llrrrstt (returning a paper does cot answer the law) when a subscriber floes ant take itis paper out of the office, and state the reason for its not being taken. Any neglect to do so makes the postmaster responsible to the publishers for payment. 2—If any person orders his paper dis- 301tintted, he moat pay • all arrcal'ages, 01 the publisher nuts continue to send it until payment is Inadc, and collect flit whole amount, whether it be taken tion the office or not. 'There can be no legas discontinuance until the payment is made 3—Any person who takes a paper from the post-ollice, Whether directed to lir name or another, or whether he has sub scribed or not, is responsible for the pay,, 4—If a subscriber orders his paper to br stopped at a certain time, and the publish er continues to send, it the subscriber i: bound to pay for it if lie takes it out of th post -office. This proceeds•upon thegroun, that a,,man must gray for what. lie uses skiesIn the Division Conrt in Goderich at the November sitting a newspaper put • lisher sued for pay of pater. The defend- ant objected paying on the ground that lie had ordered a• former ,proprietor of the paper to discontinue it. The Judge hold that that was not a valid defence. The plaintiff, the present proprietor, had no notice, to discontinue Laud conse,tuct ttly 'uuid corbel, although it, was lint denied that defendant hail notified former pro- prietor to discontinue. In any event defendant was bound to pay for the time he had received the paper and until he had paid all arrears due for subscription.
