W. A. SHEARSON ,fe CO. 1870. Communication. . • To the Editor of the Huron Expositor SIR :—In your last issue my attention was ar- rested by a communication from W: T. Hays, M. P. P., charging "Bluevale correspondent," with untruthfulness, &c., &c., in regard to a certain paragraph which appeared in your paper 'of the 1st inst. In reply, I beg to assure the Hongea- tleman that, - notwithstanding his denial of the same, the paragraph, in question, is perfectly correct; which, I shall endeavor :to show every intelligent reader of your paper, by reviewing a little of Mr. Hays' career apon the railway ques- tion. Abeut a year and a half ago, in a spe4h, de- livered at a complimentary dinner giveno him i at Bluevale, the Hon. gentleman distinctly tstated to the electors, that he had opposed the gr, ting of a charter to the Narrow Gauge Company, and that he should continue to oppose the sakk com- pany With all the influence heecould, bring to bear against it; and at the same time, he held tip the W. q. and B. Co., (broad gauge,) as a paragon of perfection'and one calculated to advance the in- terests of this great north-west section, and that he should support the same to the utmost of his power. It might be asked here, by some of your readers, why the people in this section dijd not oppose him then ? Simply, because, at that time they were indifferent, not having any pros e(t. of getting either of the gauges to pass through the sec- tion, but now it is changed, and the peopl6, both Conservative and _Reform, go hand in and in, ac- coniplishing their object, and are determined not • to support any thing, which will not help t forward the scheme they have in view. Next, let us take a look at his, (Mr. Howick speech. According to his own Oa he "simply warned. the people not to be brany set of railroad speculators." Th tion naturally arises, who are those specu Surely, Mr. Hays did notwarn thein, with ling w -ho they were. But according to h communication he did, for he says w "broad. or narrow," and there are only two, and that "he received a vote of thanks for his candid information upon the subject." The people of Howick must be very fond l of passing vqtes of thanks, when they gave the Hongentleman one for such ambiguous statements. But let ns see - these speculators. They Carnot be the broad because it can be easily seen by Mr. then? rs, of lainly stated, to the people of Howick, that Ald. Baxter told him, that Toronto would nett $50,000 an- nually. hry transhipment from thenarrow gauge, and that he veted against certain illegal byl-laws, )as he called them,) passed by certain townships in favor of said company. I think theseistate- ments, show conclusively that Mr: Hays s id. in effect, if not in . word, that the `11-.-G. & was a "humbug," a " swindle," etc. I also direet the attention of the Hon. gentl to other reports of his speech. Let him 1 the Wingham correspondence in the EXp of the 7th inst., also, at the Howick corr dence iii 1V ell; Bra, of the same date, and I ask him. -are these lies too' . Surely we a all untruthful reporters. carry ays-') ment, gulled plea- ators? uttfl- [8 own ethei lays' speech, at Bluev-ale. that he was very . _favorable to said Company. Who are the Why no more nor less, than these bug -be Mr. Hays, the " narrow gaugers," for he . Co.,. ould man, at SITOR span- ould e not In regard. to giving my name and that. 4f the " influential Conservative," 1 do not think it at all necessary. For, myself, I donot wish f rally more information about his speech, for I a4i per- fectly; satisfied, that I am M possession qf the main features of it, and as to attributing to me the authorship of what the " influential C nser- vative" satid, I indignantly d,eny the charg , and, emphatically assure Mr. Hays, that he can have the opportunity of facing said Conservative whenever he deigns to honor us with a other visit. BLUEVALE qoR. 4•411.- . Th Man That Wouldn't be Han , The following incident has happen€c1 at Flessingtre, in Holland : A wife exasi erat- ed by the:continual drunkeness of he band, threatened him with death. days ago she threatened to put this into execution. - There was but an at bove the sitting rOom. To this she as ed, Made a hole in the floor, and pas rope through it, one end of which fell a room below, while the other rf3maine tened in the attic. She then desce made a slip knot in the rope, and .a. her husband's return. He at last ar and was much surprised to receive .n proaches on his bad conduct. • "There is something underhand thought he; " I must see." . • We must premise that this scene took place in complete darkness. The hus and, whose suspicions were aroused, let, hi nself fall into a chair and a?peared to sleep pro- foundly. After some snoring, he felt rope passed round his neck. He then u der - stood the little trick that was to be p ayed- on him, but did not move. His wife went up to the attic, and taking adYantage this moment's respite, the drunkard rel iv,ed himself of the rope and fastened it t the foot of the stove, which soon went up o the ceiling with a frightful noise, caused b the fall of some crockery which was sta ding upon it. T.he wife thinking the noise was caused by the fruitless struggles of her husband, ran to the police office to declare that she had found her husband hung. The police arriv- ed in hot haste, and a candle was lighted, when all started back at the spectacle which presented itself, The Wye was swinging gracefully in space, hnd the husband sat gravely smoking his pipe. Instead of a cide, an attempt to murder was establ shed against the wife, who was arrested.' ed bus- orue reat lc !- end- ed a into . firs- ded, ai ted ived, re - ere," The Honey Bee. • Hail busy hermit, of the morn, lone thou likes to be, to sing thy lovely atin hymn, thy sisters taught to thee. hou chants and sings, from flower te flower and sips the nectar sweet.

Beecher's Star Papers THE OLD SAW MILL." Oh, that blessed day ! What day was that? Fourth of July 1 General training -clay 7 Thanksgiving clay? Christmas? None of all these. Far more important to our heart, was the day when we first went fishing alone? Whether we had permission we cannot at this late period certainly determine. We presume, from the recollection of no anxie- iy, and from the distinct retnembaance of general exhilaration, that we had a dispen- sation on that day to roam. There is a vague impression, too, of digg- ing worms, of putting a piece of twine on to a polo. Then went we forth eastward to- ward the river Bantam. Now the river Bantam was to our young heart what the :Jordan was to a good- and patriotic Jew. It was the cheif stream in -our neighborhood. It was the Chief resort for swimmine-e pur- poses. For though it was hardly knee deep, and in Many places, easily jumped across, yet, there were pools, and a notable one, called Lord's Hole," (doubtless from a Litchfield family of the name of Loid), where a small boy could go in "overhead," It was one of these clear brooks—ra mere brook, which mostly brawls over pebble- •stones,fitow and then widening into quite a sheet, and then, like men who have been too generous, growing narrow again, and deep.- • Along its banks in abundance and here and there great trees reached their branches over the stream and watched themselves in the water beloYe. • Not great way above the Lord's Hole was the "old saw -mill;" not that there was then a mill there, or even a mill dam, but tradition said that there had been one, and the legend was proba.bie, inasmuch as two steep banks on either side, sloping up some twenty _feet, seemed to haire formedthe wings or a dam, and the water made a fall as if underneath thera were the remains of some Obstruction. • • On the blessed day above mentioned, a bare-footed boy might have been seen on a June afternoon, with hisalder pole on his shoulder, tripping through the meadow, .Ivhere dandelions a.nd wild gerariums -were in bloom, and steering for the old saw mull As soon as the meadow was crossed, the fence scaled, and a descent begun, all famil- iar objects were gone, and the overpowering consciousness of being alone set one's imag- ination into a dance of fear. Could we find our way hack? What if a big hull should • come out of these bushes? What if a great big man should come along and carry us off? To a six year old boy these were ver; serious matters, And nothing could have so well tested the eagerness of our purpose as perseverande under these soul bewilder- ing suggestions. For realities in after life are seldom so impressive as imaginations are in early life. A child's fears are ci uel. They are to him the signs of absoluta reali- ties, and he is quite unable to reason- on them., and is helpless t� repel•or to endure them. Tne fears ofour-own childhood con- stitute a chapter in mental philosophy. • But no sooner did we see the sparkle of the water than our soul grew calm again, and happy. Now, for the first time in our lives, we put on a warn. We threw in the hook, and trembled allover with the excLement ! The hook and bait 'fell upon the wrinkletl water, went quietly down the stream, and swept in 13ett,r the shore, where there was some projecting stone roofed over a little pool. Out of that pool our little eyes saw something dart, and our little hands all a tremble felt something pull. In an instant, with a spasm of energy, we drew back the line, there was a flash in the air, a wiggling flash, and -something smote the rocky gra4- elly bank . behind. Scrambling • up, we found a shine/', but alas, smashed -to pieces I Soon another and another shared in like. manner, anil it was long before we could subdue our nerve, so as not to dash the fish to pieces. Our courage grew every mo- ment. What did we care if there was a bull in the! bushes? ‘3 bat if a beggar man sh,catka come along? ,What if a great black dog should—but that thought was a little to serious. Black dogs were terrors not to be lightly thought of, even by a six year old urchin who bad caught fish, alone, too! And so, gathering -up two roach and three shiners, we started home. Up the sloping hill we ran, till our father's house shone • out from among the trees, and then, with the -dignity and nonchalance of a conqueror, we prepared to make a triumphal entrance. But bete, as often happen in the reminis- cences of our childhood, the vision fai:s. We can recollect nothing of our reception. Since then we have fished in many a stream and lake, and in the deep sea—but never Withaa half the exhilaration of that first joyful hour upon the Bantam! Not even there, again, would the fire be rekindled! For, not long after, taking a younger brother, to be.a marvelling witness lof our success, we, went again to the old saw mill. The air was disenchanted. The roads and bushes had no spirit in them. The brook gurgled and rushed. We caught our fish, a few, but without craze, aad came solemnly home, wondering what the reason could be that the,first time could come but once! Since then we have seen many grown up boys seeking to reproduce first sensations and to make novelties perpetual. But each day must provide its own first times. •Those of yester day are shrunk and faded.—Chris- tion Union. Isabella and the Pope From the London Times•. The following is a translation of the let- ter Queen Isabella sent the Pope by her son, Prince Alfonso : MOST BLESSED FATHER: The day has arrived so pleasing for me to fulfil one of the most vehement desires of my soul, and which has also been so benevolently con- curred by your Holiness. My son, the Prince of Asturia, goes to Rome to re- ceiN e the promised Sacrament of the E4ch- mist at the august hands of his venerated father and protector. Heaven grant that the boy who under such auspices enters into puberty may inherit the religious piety ever felt by his mother now that she cannot ask from pod for him that he in- herit her fortune! _ The Prince travels under the title of the Marquis de Covad- onga, in charge of the Captain General, the Conde de Chest°, always a good Catholic and loyal subject, who is aceompanied in his mission, as persons also of all confi- dence, by the Conde de Heredia Spinola and General Don Jose de Rema, with oth- ers of his very few ordinary attendants. By Cheste, whom instructed for the pur- pose, your Holiness will beimade to under- stand the reasons which have impeded my- self alai the King. my hitsband. from re- alizing others of the duties of which I spoke to your Holiness. We both cherish the hope of fulfilling them as soon as circum- stances permit us; meanwhile my sorrowful heart, which has suffered so much, is anx- ious to receive from your Holiness your ben- ediction for the daughter of the Church and your consolation for the Queen de- thioned. Not a little comfort wa' s it for me, most blessed Father, when I received your first letter, so sweet and compassion- ate, in which your Holiness manifested to me that you directed your prayers to the Most High for my health, and for God to restore me to the throne which belongs to rine of right. I do not now aspire to pre- serve this right to myself, recognized even yet in my misfortune by the Wisest . sower- ign of the earth, but to transmit it as I say, to all who were my subjects on the best and most fitting occassions -to the prince, rny sou. Hence my vehement desire he should obtain his principal strength to ex- ercise it by becoming imbued with the Holy Catholic spirit—the only thing by which he will be able to associate the grand principle of authority with the true liberty, equality and fraternity which are indispensible to ma10 all men happy. For this reason also 1 halie fiwtned the propo- sition that the Pince shall, be educated in such a manner that, if some day the nation needs him, and Aed wishes it, he may go and perform hi/ labor without exciting pie hatted or the o position of any of the nu- merous factions into which our country ' is unfortunately divided, for he will have learnt that the good. king for Spain must belong to no party, but to all the Span- iards, and that God has given the kings for the people, and not the' people for the kings. May God's divine justice not permit that by his fault one drop of blood shall be shed, nor the peace and Lranquility of our be- loved compatriots be disturbed for one single clay. Oh, that so ratich blood had not been shed for his mother, innocentas she was of it. If during our civil war I had been found in the state of reason of whi„ch my in- fancy deprived me, I would not have wish - to reign at so much cost. T wish not now that my boy should mount . a throne erected upon tears and misfortunes. I do not desire the threne for him if he is not raised to it by the legitimate hope and 'general love of the people. May God pre- serve for ma.ny years the life of your Holi- ness, so' necessary to -day for the world; and permit me very speedily to receive per-- senally your blessing, which 1 now ask for myself, for my husbAnd, and my children, with the fervor with which I am. Your Holiness' most humble, most grateful, -and most loving daughter, ISABEL. Paris, Feb., 20th, 1870. 40. A Solemn Joke. One of i 'le clergymen in Peoria, Ill., had been put i s a parsonage that did not come up to his itea of what a minister.should en- joy. Recently he was called upon to an- nounce that there would be a mite society at the ministerial dwelling,. He said: "There will be a mite society on Thursday evening at the parsonage. The parsonage is a little, old, tumble-down building on -- street." Some of the older ones of the con- gregation took umbrage at this. while the younger ones laughed. In the evening the pai:son. was called upon to make the same announcement. After saying that the mite society would be held at the parsonage, he paused a moment, and then remarked :gcbn the corner of Cue straet near my residence is a well. $a.id well is covered over and clap - boarded. It is unpainted and weather worn, but I wish to describe it so that none of you may make a mistake and take the well for the parsonage. The mite society will be held in the parsonage not in the well." -41, • *- • SHORTEST SERMON.—The shortest sermon on record was once preached by the Irish -Dean Kirwan. He was pressed while sa- fe -Ling from a severe - cold, to preach a char- ity sermon in St. Peter's Church, Dublin, for the benefit of theorphan children of the parish school. The church was crowded to suffocation and the good Dean, on mounting the pulpit and announcing his text, pointed •with his hand to the children in the aisle, and simply said," There they are .!
