Trivial they are, ludieruualy w, to any one hut tum; yet they halve left me sit- ting with my head in my hands, stupid and idle, starting, each hour, at the boom of the bell we took at Sebastopol —starting and shivering like a nervous child. Strange : there, in the Crimea, in the midst of danger, hardship, and misery of all kinds, 1 was at peace, even happy; happier than for many years. I seemed to have lived down, and nearly obliter- ated fruit thought, that one day, one hour, one moment, which was but a mo- ment. Can it, ought it, to weigh against s whole existence? or, as some religionists would tell us, against an eternity t Yet what is timne, what is eternity? Nay, rather, what is man, measuring himself, his atom of good lir ill, either done or suffered, against rind 1 These are vain speculations, which I time gone over and of er again- till every link in the olein of reasoning is painfully familiar. I had better give it up and turn to ordinary things Dear imaginary correspondent, shall I tell you the story of my day '1 It began peacefully. I always rest on a Sunday, if I tan. I believe, even had Heaven nut hallowed one day in the seven—Saturday or Sunday matters not, let Jews and Christians battle it out— there would still be needful aday of rest; and that day would still be a blessed day. Instinct, old habit, and later con- viction, always incline me to " keep the Sabbath," not, indeed, after the strict fashion of my forefathers, but as a happy, cheerful, holy time; a resting -place be- tween week and week, in which to enjoy specially • all righteous pleasures and earthly repose, and to look forward to that rest which, we are told, " remaineth for the people of Good." The people of God; no other people ever do rest, even -in this world. Treherne passed any hut soon after breakfast, and pupped his head in, not over weioumely, I confess, for I was giving myself the rare treat of a bit of unprofessional reading. I had not seen him for two ur three days, not since we appointed to go together to the general's dinner, and he never appeared all the evening. " I say, doctor, will you go to church t" Now I do usually attend our airy mili- tary chapel, all doors and windows, open to every kind of air except airs from heaven, of which I amu afraid our chap- lain does not bring with him a large quantity. He leaves us to fatten - upon Hebrew roots without throwing us a crumb of Christianity; prefers Moses and the prophet to the New Testament ; no wonder, as some few doctrine's there, " Do unto others as ye would they should do unto you," " He that taketh the sword shall perish by the sword," etc., would sound particularly odd in a mili- tary chapel, especially with his elucida- tion of them, fur he is the eery poorest • preacher I ever heard. Yet a worthy ratan, a most sincere man ; did a world of good out in the Crimea ; used to spend hours daily in teaching, our men to read and write; got personally acquainted with every fellow in the regiment; knew all their private histories, wrote their letters home, sought them out in the battle -field and in the hospital, read to them, cheered them, comforted them, and closed their eyes. There was not an officer in the regiment more deservedly beloved than our chaplain. He is an admirable fellow — everywhere but in the pulpit. Nevertheless, I attend his chapel, as I have always been in the habit of attend- ing some Christian worship somewhere, because it is the simplest way of showing that I nut not ashamed of my Master be- fore men. Therefore I would nut smile at Tre- lierne's astonishing fit of piety, but sim- ply assented, at which he evidently was disappointed. " You see. I'm turning respectable, and going to church. I wonder such an exceedingly respectable and religious fellow as you, Urquhart, has not tried to make me go sooner." " if you go against your will and be- cause it . respectable, you had better stop away.' " Thank you; but suppose 1 have my own reasons for going ?" He is not a deep fellow ; there is no deceit in the lad. All his faults are up- permost, which makes theuo bearable. Come, out with it. Better stake a clean breast to me. it will not be the firer time." " Well. then -ahem ' ' tainting his sash and looking down with most extra- ordinary mo,le.ty. ' • the fact is, do wished it."

Fur mm, I was good deal surprised ; yet he might have come to a wore end. To a rich young fellow of twenty-one, the world is full of maty more rich dan- gerous pitfalls than Matrimony. So 1 expressed myself in the customary con- gratuletiuns, adding that I concluded the lady war the one 1 had seen 1 Treherne nodded. " Sir William knows it." " Not yet. Didn't I tell you I wanted you to break it to him t Though he will consent, of course. Her father is quite respectable—a clergyman, you are aware; and she is such a handsome girl—would do credit to any man's taste. Also, she likes me—a trifle." And he pulled his moustache with a recognition of his great felicity. 1 saw no reason to question it, such as it was. He was a well -looking fellow, likely to please women; and this one, though there was not touch in her, ap- peared kindly and agreeable. The other titter, whom I talked with, was some- thing more. They were, no doubt, a perfectly unobjectionable family; nor did I think that Sir William, who was anxious for his son to marry early, would refuse consent to. any creditable choice. But decidedly he ought to be told at once—ought, indeed, to have been con- sulted beforehand. I said so. " Can't help that. It happened un- expectedly. I had, when I entered Rockmount, no more idea of such a thing than—than your cat, doctor. Upon my soul 'tis the fact ! Well, well, marriage u a man's fate. He can no more help himself in the matter than a stone can help rolling down hill. All's over, and I'in glad of it. So, ,cui you write, and tell my father 1" " Certainly not. Do it yourself, and you had better do it now. ' No tiine like the present,' always." I pushed %uo-lyd him pens, ink, and paper ; and returned to my book again ; but it its not quite abeorbing; and oc- casional glimpeee of Treherne's troubled and puzzled face amused me, as well as made me thoughtful. It was natural that having been in some slight way concerned in it, this mat- ter, foreign as it was to the general tenor of my busy life, should interest me a lit- tle. Though I viewed it, not from the younger, but from the elder side, I my- self never knew either father or mother ; they died when I was a child, but I think, whether or not we possess it in youth, we rarely come to my time of Iife without having a strong instinctive feel- ing of the rights of parents, being worthy parents. Rights, of course modified in their extent by the higher claims of the Father of all; but second to none other, except, perhaps, those which He has himself made superior --the rights of huabsnd and wife. I felt, when I came to conaider it, ex- ceedingly sorry that Treherne had trade a proposal of marriage without consulting his- father. But it was no concern of mine. Eyen his "taking my advice," was• he knew well, his own exaggeration of an abstract remark which 1 could not but make; otherwi.e,vl had not meddled in hia courting, which, in my opinion, no third party has a right to do. So I washed my hands of the whole affair, except consenting to Treherne's earnest request that I would go with him, this morning, to the little village church of which the young lady's father was the clergyman, and be introduoed. " A tough old gentleman, too, as sharp as a needle, as hard as n rock—walging into his study, yesterday morning, was no joke, I assure yet." " But you said he had consented." " Ah ' yes, all's right. That is, it will be when I hear from the governor." as sieedingly and vividly 1s.

I could sat down Dow, at ease, and listen to the geutisuian's reading of the prayers. His reading was what might have been sal euted fruit his face- clasai- eal, accurate, intelligent, gentlemanly. And the oonejregautn listened with re- spect, as to a clever exposition of things quite beyond their ooapreh.tuttn. Except the gamble -gabble of the iia nday school, and the clerk's loud "A -a -men!" the minister had the service entirely to himself. A beautiful service; as 1, though at heart a Presbyterian, still must avow; especially when heard-- as I have heard it --et sea, in hospital, at the camp. Nut this camp, but ours in the Crimea, where all through the prayer', guns kept boost- ing, and shells kept flying, sometimes within a short distance of the chapel it- self. I inind . t one Sunday, little more than a year ago, for it mud have been on the ninth of September, when i stopped on my way from Balaclava hos- pital, to hear service read in the open air, on a hill -side. It was s cloudy day, I remember; below, brown with the long drought, stretched the Balaclava plains; uppoeito, gray and still, nose the high mountains on the other side of the Tcher- naya; while far away to the right, to- ward our camp, one could just trace the white tents of the Highland regiments; and to the left, hidden by the Col de Balaclava, a dull, perpetual rumble, and clouds of smoke hanging in the air, showed where, six miles off, was being enacted the fall of Sebastopol—though at the time we did nut know it; this little congregation, mustered just outside a hospital tent, where, I remember, not a stone's throw from where we, the living knelt, lay a row of those straight, still formless forms, the more awful because from familiarity they had ceased to be felt as ouch—each sewn up in the blank- et, its only coffin, waiting for burial— waiting ale o, we believe and hope, for the resurrection from the dead. What a sermon our chaplain might have preached! what words I, or any man, mould surely have found W say at such a time on such a spot! Vet what we did hear were the merest platitudes— so utterly trival and out of place, that I do not now recall a single sentence. Strange that people—good Christian men as I knew that man to be—should go on droning out "words, words, words," when bodies and souls perish in thous- ands round them; or splitting theologi- cal hairs to poor fellows, who, except in an oath, are ignorant even of the Divine name; or thundering anathemas at them for going down to the pit of perdition without even so much as pointing nut to therm the bright but narrow way. •1 pettiest, nor would I rattan' to ester tar Oxford honors • son who had the MAUI of the Apulia, Belvidere.

She might have known what a pretty picture she was making. She will please Sir William who admires beauty, and she seems re- fined enough even for Lady Augusta Treherue. I thought to myself the lad ought have gone farther and fared worse. His unarriage was sure to have been one of pure accident, he is not • young man either to have had the decision to choose, or the firmness to win and keep. Service ended, he baked me what I thought of her, and I said much as 1 have written here. He appeared satis- fied. "You must stay and be introduced to the family; the father remain' in church. I shall walk home with them. Ah! alio sees us.'' The lad was all eagerness and es ment. He must be considerably in est. "Now, doctor, onme nay, pray do.'' For I hesitated. Hesitation was t o late, however; the introduction took place; Treherne hurried tt over; though I listened acutely I could not be certain of the name. It seemed to be, a.11 already believed, Joliwsoa. Treherne's beauty met him, all mules, and he marched off by herside in a most determined manner, the elder sister fol- lowing and joining the pair, doubtless to the dupleaadre of one or both. She, whom 1 did not remember seeing before, u a little sharp -speaking woman, pretty, but faded -looking, with very black eyes. The other sister, left behind, fell in with me. We walked side by side through the church -yard, and into the road As I held the wicket -gate open for her to pass, she looked up. smiled, and said: I suppose you do not re neitil.'er nue, Doctor Urquhart r I replied, " Yea, I did;" that site was the young lady who " hated soldiers." She blushed extremely, glancett •t Treherne, anti said, not withoui " It would be a pity to remember all the foolish things I have uttered: espe- cially on that evening." " I was not aware they were foolish ; the impression left on me was that we had had a very pleaaant conversation, which included far more sensible topics than are usually discussed at bells." " You do not often go to drills ''" " No." " Do you dislike them r Not always." " Do you think they are wrong !" I smiled ather cruat-questioning, which had something fresh and unsophisticated about it, like the inquisitiveness ..f a child. `Really, I have never very deeply considered the question ; my going or not going, is purely a matter of individ- ual choice. I went to the Cedars that night because Mrs Granton was so kind as to wish it, and I was only too happy to please her. I like her extremely, and owe her much.' " She is a very good woman, earned answer. " And Colin kindest heart in the world." I assented.‘ though amused at the su- perlatives in which very young people delight; but, in this case, not so far away from truth as ordinarily happens. '' You know Colin Granton—have you seen hint lately—yesterday I mean 1 Did Captain Treherne see him yesterday 1" The anxiety with which the question was put reminded me of something Tre- herne had mentioned, which implied his rivalry with Granton; perhaps this kind- hearted damsel thought there would be a single-handed combat in our parade - ground, between the accepted and re- jected swains. I allayed her fears by observing that, to my certain knowledge, Mr. Granton had gone up to London on Saturday morning, and would not return till Tuesday. Then, our eyes meeting, we both looked conscious; but, of course, neither the young lady nor thyself made any allusion to present circumstances. I said. generally, that Granton was a fine young fellow, not over sentimental, nor likely to feel anything very deeply ; but gifted with great good sense. suffi- cient to make an admirable country squire, and one of the best landlords in the county, if only he could be brought to feel the importance of his position. " How do you mean 1" " His responsibility, as a man of for- tune, to make the most of his wealth." "• Rut how. what ie there for him to do 1.. All this while, by a curious amatory eccentricity, he had never mentioned the lady's name. Nor had i asked, because I knew it. Also, because that surname, common as it ie., is still extremely pain- ful to me, either to utter or to hear. We came late into church, and est by the door. It was a pleasant September forenoon; there was sunshine oatuie few away across the moors. i hal never been to this village before; it teemed a pretty one, and the church old and pie ture•sque.

It was one of the clergyman's three daughters; the youngest, probably, for her seat was in the most uncomfortable corner of the pew, apparently the same I had talked withat Ma. Grantor's, though I was not sure—ladies look so different in their bonnet. Hers was close, I noticed, and decently covering the head, not dropping off on her shoulders like those I see ladies wearing, which will assuredly multiply ophthalmic cases, with all sorts of head and face complaint as the winter winds come on. Such ex• posure must he painful, too, these blind- ing sunny days. How can women stand the torment they have td undergo in matter' of dreset if I had any woman- kind belonging to me— inhale! what an idle speculation. Thome two eyes, steadfastly inquiring, with a touch of compassion in them, startled me. Many a pair of eager eyes have I had to meet, but it was always their own fate, or that of some one dear to them, which they were anxious to learn; they never sought to know any- thing of me or mine. Now these did. I am nervously sensitive of even kindly scrutiny. involuntarily I moved so that one of the pillars carne between me and thnse eyes. When we stood cop to sing she kept them steadily upon her hymn- book, nor did they wander again daring church time, either toward me or in any other direotinn.

Laureate") on the eve of his departure from that point. The evening'. enter- tainment ntertainment consisted of a supper, speeches, vocal and instrumental music, and reci- tations, the programme being as fol- lows, Bro. Cummings in the chair:— Quartette, "Geed old Friends;" solo Bro. H. Horton; speech, nn agricultural interest., Bro. A. H. Cluttun; duett, "Beautiful Gates," Sister. McManus; reading, " The Leap Year Proposal," Bro. 8. B. Williams; "Our Lodge," Bro. W. H. Aborn; duett, Sisters McManus; reading, "The Yorkshireman," Bro. H. H. Clutton.

On pressure he gave in gtuul style, "Home Again from a Foreign Shore," and being encored, brought down the house in "The Lone Starry Hours" The chair- man said that he and the "Bachelor". had gone nortlt together; that on one occasion there wax only one bed fur both of them, that lie (the chairman' nook the outside, and the "Bachelor," being a man of weight in the community, was afraid the beadstead was tote frail to support both, .lid decided to lay on the lounge, lengthened out with half a dozen chain, to suit his elongated form. , There were blanket; and buffalo robes in pre fusion, but this fact did not hinder the sensitit a bachelor from getting the cold he complained of. This explanation by the chairman caused roars of merriment from the audience. A handsome walk- ing staff was then presented to #iro. Lawrason, by Sister M McManus, and Sider M. A. Clutton tad the following address :— DEAa BaoTtrtt LAwaaene -- As yon are about to leave us, we, the member. of Leeburn Lodge, have met here to bid you farewell Ever sinceou have be - comp a member of this toe go you have been a most active worker for the cause of temperance, and also for the main- tenance of this bulge. As a alight evi- dence of the appreciation the members have had for your labor., we may say that you have been kept in office since the first quarter and during seven of the eleven quarters of which you have been a member, you have filled the highest office, viz: that o1 W. C. T. While you have been connected with our little band, you have always been very regular and punctual, and we feel that a blank is now being trade which can never be filled. Wo hope the esteem in which you have been held while connected with the cause of temperance in this neigh- borhood will be an additional motive to you for continuing in the noble work, where ever you witty be situated, and hope you will merit the same approbation. We feel in losing you we are being de- prived of one of our mainstays, but hope your gain will overbalance our loss. Hoping that the remainder of your journey through life may be as pleasant and as prosperous as the few .hurt years you have spent with us, we beg your acceptance pf this cane which may serve to remind fou of the happy evenings ribs .pent at Leeburn Lodge No. 213, L Q O. T. Bro. Lawrason thanked the brothers and sisters for their kindness in present- ing with such a feeling address, and such a good and ornamental staff, which he would ever keep in retnent brume of the many pleasant associations which he had had with the brothers and sisters of the Leeburn Lodge. He said he had not merited such favors. Any thing he had done had been done with pleasure. He could never compensate this Lodge for the good he had received from being a member of it. In the providence of God, it had been the meats of making a turning point in his life, lifting him up from the depths to the stature of a man, in which, in God's strength, he would remain and perform his vows until the end. He again with the deepest feeling thanked them for the gift and honor con- ferred, and hoped that, although fat severed, we may always remain close in heart. J. Linklater and W. iL Horton rendered some select pieces on the violin daring the evening.
