LADY ABRRDEBN'S TRIP "Through Canada With a Kodak' by the 00uate50. (Wrote Onward and Upward.") L trip to Canada 1 Yea, we had often tilled About it. We had paid a visit to India, Colon, Auetralieti Tasmania, New Zealand, and we much wished to see Serne. thing of this other whet and fair Dominion, whioli forme pert of the .Britieb„ Empire. But in spite of our voyaginea, we have never been Wind of the ilea, mini when we talked at Canada we were alwaya very gonsoions of the fad that the wild waves of the ocean separated its shores by the specie of seven days from, Britain. However, latit year our desires, coupled with doctor's advice, overcame our leans, and on a fine evening in August we found ourselves dropping down the Mersey, on board the steeneehip " lrerisian " of the Allan Line, one of the largest shipe plying between this country and Canadian ports. flave you ever been on board an Atlentia liner when in port? If so, you know how delightful everything !mike. A. large beau.

Look at the pictures given on pre. ceding page, and gay whether life at Ms does not seem a very attraotive thing, gain ing along in one of these brave ships under a good captain, with all the good thinge of life at hand, and no cares, no reeponsieili. ties, no work, no telegrame, no lettere 2 So one thinks, and BO onei contianea to think for an hour or two after starting, but wait a wee, and see if you don't begin to wish that you could give effeot to second thoughts, when you find yourself toeing ahem in the Irish Channel isa e pole a few hours later. But the lertst said ibout theee experiences, and the wiehes then mealy uttered, the better, and so I will tell you nothingofthat August night, nor of the long wait we had next day at Neville, near Londonderry, for the English mails, which had been delayed some hours in oroseing from Holyhead to Kingstown, in conse- quence of the storm. I should like, though, to be able to give yon a eight of our last glirapee of the ehores o!" Ouid Ireland," as we saw them diesppearing next evening. A suocesnion of bold bled and headlands jutting oat into the sea, one beyond the other, au far as the eye could reach in the gathering deekneee, the green elopes here end there just visible, and the heavy black clouds which had beeu overhangieg us all day fringed with a glory of red and purple and orange, Lord Aberdeen and I leant over the taftrail snd caught nine whiffs of a dear familiar peat -smoke, wbiola sent us happy to our cabins that night. Pray enquire no further ; you shall hear none of our groans. Suffice it to say that the 750 passengers on board were in a decidedly subdued frame of mind for a few days, your editor atuongst the number. She had not yet even conoeived the idea oE telling her friends of the H. H. A. something about thia expedition, or else she would doubtless hems used her "Kodak," to bring before you various scenes and attitudes of different degrees of misery. Our fellow.paseen. gime therefore eeceped- the danger ot be- ing introduced thus to you, and 1 shell hope to show sotne of there to yon la a happier aspect later on. When we began to be in a state to realize one another, we lotted that we might almost consider our- selves already in Canada. We were of all degrees—distinguished Canedian Cabinet Ministers, Governore, Senstore, Profes- sore; business men were there, and so were alto emigrants of many vatione °lessee and ifroni all countries, bound to many various deetinations. Some were going for the first time Ito seek their for. tune, they knew not where; owe were going out to join friends who had already prospered; some were returning from pay- ing a brief visit to their friends in e the old °matey," as we soon became Canadian eeough to call it, Amongst snob company, who were all also so willing to impart information to streugers and "ten. derfeet " (thin being the mane for new- comers in Canada)we were able to pickup a good deal about the country and the people amongst whom we were going to live for the next three months. I will try to filter down to you a little of what tb.ey told us by degrees, but fast I mine to introduce to you a number of youthful emigrants, in whom I think you will be epoieily inter- ested. Then are a party of fifty young girls of all ages, 1 torn three to temente:in, tsken from miner), and destitution to Min Rye's Homes, from whence they will be drafted either as serventa or else dopted into coloniets' home. Dinah oare has to be used in edectingionly suiteble, healthy children for emigretion, but when this care is used, there are endless openings for them in Canada. Min Macpherson, whose name is wellknown as having been the first lady to undertake the emigration of children'told ue that tbis year she had bed 900 ripplioente for ohildred, of whioh she had only bean able to eupply 150. Those little OneS whore we saw on board the "Parisittn," were all fen of eager expectation regarding their new homes, and after the first few days of sem-sickness and discomfort consequent on the vaccina- tion, to eahioli every steerage passenger to Canada must submit, they made there - velvet) very happy, with their skipping- ropes and various garners. A. part of the ship had been partitioned off and fitted up on purpose for thene—a little dining place, a row of little tin basing and two storys of little box -like berths, where they ley snugly peeked away at night, with the kind micron who had atoned the ocean some forty times on like businese, sleeping in a little obit opening into this special section. The ohaplein scoompenying the ship often had special serving for the children, and it wee very plerteant to hear the bright hymnsinging, which islwaya brought together a number of the other pitseengere. As we think of theme little Ones we wonder how they are dotting on in their scattered homes. We '..naa b.opod to see there again in Min Ryeli Home, near Niagara, of which a picture ire given, but, to oar regret, we never managed the expedition.

As it is, you must content yourself with seeing an iceberg much nearer ehip than we had, the opportunity of seeing it, much nearer, too, than our cap. teal would have oared to have it. These icebergs', which are morsels detached from the great glaoiera of Greenland by the tiernmer eun, cause great anxiety to the ofdeers innamanding shipa on the Atlantic. Thia is more eapeoially the case in the neighborhood of Newfoundland, which is very subject to fogs, or, as the taming goee, it is celebrated for "fog, dog and ood." Often and often ships have to lie outeide the Straits of Belle tele for days enwrapped in dense fog, afraid to budge, In ease one of tbeee great ice monsters may be looming near at hand, ready to overwhelm the nnwery seaman and tliEl °raft. Vela vory ship of ours, the Panatela, had a narrow etospe in May. In the fog she re,n atilt againat what was called a small iceberg, but which one of the passetigera described to me ae having a moat alarming appear- ance. In a naement there appeared as a vision just in front of the bows a towering white muse pert of which eeemed to overshadow the dole This passenger told me that the feeling of alarm Wail swallowed up in an over.powering eenso of wonder and awe at the marvel. lousnees and magnificence of the scene presentee', and that it was only later, when the ekill of captain and officers had averted a catastrophe, that the perilous position in which the ahip had been planed was fully realized. The bright sun and Meer skies which we enjoyed gave us immunity from all atiola dangers. We oiled peacefully through the Straits, on either aide of no the lute of the low blue hills of Labrador and Newfound- land gleaming in the sun, and in the reflected lieht of long, toiling, flaky, pinkinwhite °tondo, which we soon began to anoeiate with Canadian skies. Then we floated ant of sight of land again into the great Galf of S. Lawrence, on into the big river itself, along the poturesque shores of French Canada, dotted with groups of cosy wee tin -roofed cottages, in whiele live the French. Canadian fithermen, and every now and again a picturesque little church and school. It arse all very pesoeful, and a great contrast to the beginning of our voyage.

The barque was bought round, answering her helm inatantly, ond the vessel was soon on her way to the ritruggling man. Sud- denly two large albatrosses were seen to descend with an eagle -like swoop and at- tack the poor fellow in a terrible manner. Both birds daehed at him, and to those on board the vessel it seemed as if they were endeavoring to gouge out his owe with their hooked bills, while with their wings they keen beetiag the unfortunate man abou the head. The sight was a terrible one, but it did not last long, its the barque smiled over the course where the Dane had fallen over- board about seven minutes before, but he was nowhere to be seen.

A Bard -Hearted lElusband. A coroner nee nanny strenge sights. Deputy Coroner was telling of a circumstance that came under his notice recently that surpassed anything ever heard of in the way of heartless indiffer. enoe. He was called to investigate a MEC where a man's wife had died very sud- denly. It wan plainly e. oase of heart failure, but the husband insisted upon an entopsy. He nos only wanted the autopsy, but he wanted to see it performed. The body was pleteed on a table and the doctors began work. The huelesnd watched every movement very closely. Finally the liver end heart were exposed, and the heart was found to be greatly enlarged. The husband, more deeply interested than ever, etepped forward and took hold of the heart with hie fingers. " 11 made my blood run cold," said the deputy, " and I plashed the man away." He seemed to resent the coroner's action very much, and insisted on knowing what caused hie wife's death. The doctor explained that it was caused by an enlarge. ment of the heart. "Wall, by thunder l " mused the man, "1 don't understand that.

The Coffers in the Bank. The Bank of England is the- onstodien of a large nuraber of boxes deposited by customers for safety during the past 200 yeare, and in not a few instanoo forgotten. Many of these consignments are not only of rare intrinsic and historicial value, but of greet romentio interest. For instance, some years ago the servants of the bank discovered in its vaults a Ethan, which on beteg moved literally fell to pieces. On examining the contents, a quantity of massive plate of the period of Charles II. was discovered, along with a bundle of love letters, indited during the period of the Res- toration.
