His faults were many, and at one time he went near to sacrificing his daughter to save Lis Louse, but he would not have been the nigra h. web without them. And so to him, too, ,farewelh Perhaps he will find himself better "lir De la Molle," said,siniply, placed in the Valhalla of his fore - "once more I ask you for your fathers, surrounded by those stout daughter in marriage.

As regards your means, although they would have been quite insufficient to avert the ruin which threatened us, still you bave, I be- lieve, a competence, and owing to your wonderful and most providen- tial discovery the fear of ruin seems to have passed away. It is owing to you that that discovery, .which, by the way, I want to hear. all abotit, 'has-been made; had it not been for you it never would have been made at all, and therefore I certainly have no right to say any- thing more about your means. As regards your age, well, after all, forty-four is not the limit of life, and if Ida does not object to marry- ing a man of those years, I cannot object to her doing so. With re- ference to your want of occupation, I think that if you marry Ida this place will, as times are, keep your hands pretty full, especially when you have an obstinate donkey like that fellow George to deal with, for' I am getting too old and .stupid to look after- it myself ; and, besides, things are so topsy-turvy that I can't understand them. There is one thing more that I want to say; I forbade you the house. Well;you are a generous -minded man, and it is human to err, and I think that perhaps you will understand my action andnot bear me a gtudge on that account. ` Also, I dare say that at the time, and possibly at other times, I said things that I should be sorry for if I could remember what they were, which I can't; and if so, I apologize to you as a gentle- man should when he finds himself in the wrong.. And now I say,,God bless you both, and I hope you will' be happy in life together, and so come here, Ida, my love, and give me a kiss You have been a good daughter all your life, and_ so Quer; rich may be sure that you will be a good wife too." Ida- did` as she was bid, and then. she went over to her lover and tools his hand, and he kissed her on the forehead, and tio, after all their troubles, they finally ratified the contract. And we, who have followed them thus far, and have perhaps been a little Moved with their struggles, hopes, and fears, will not surely grudge • to re-echo the squire's old- fashioned prayer, "God bless them both." God bless them both. Long may they live, and'bappily. Long may they live,. and for very long may their children's children of the race, if not of the name, of De la Molle,pass in and out through the old Norman gateway and past the sturdy Norman towers. The Boisseys, who built them, here had their habitation for six generations. The Do la Molles, who wedded the heiress of tbo Boisseys,. lived here for thirteen generations. May the Quaritches, whose ancestor married Ida, heiress of tite De la Dlolles, en- dure as long! Surely it is permitted to us to lift a corner of the curtain of futur- ity and to soe, in spirit, Ida Quer- itch, stately and beautiful, as we knew her, but of a happier counten- ance, scated,on some Christmas Eve to come, in the drawing -room of the castle and telling to the children at her knees the wonderful tale of how their father and old George, on this very night, when the great gale blew, long yearsago, discovered the ruddy pile of gold, hoarded in that awful storehouse amid the bones of Saxon or Danish heroes, ani thus saved her to be their mother." We can suruly 51:1' the wide and wonder- ing eyes and the fixed faces as for the tenth time they listen to a story befose which the joys of Crusoe will grow pale, and hear the eager ap- peals for confirmation made to trio military- looking gentleman, very grizzled now, but grown betteralook ing with the adlvancine years, who is standing warming himself before the fire, the best and most beloved ( opened up communications with the clangor the glad sound of the Christ- mas Bells. Out it swept over pitle and fallow, over grove and wood. It floated down the valley of the Ea, it beat against I):ead Man's Mount (henceforth 6 the vulgar mind more haunted than ever), and echoed up the castle's Norman towers and down the oak -clad vesti- bule. Away over the common went 'the glad message of Earth's Saviour, away Ligh into the air,startling the rooks upon their airy courses, as though the iron notes of the world's rejoicing would fain float to the throned feet of the World's Ever- lasting King. Peace and good -will, ay, and hap- piness, to the children of men while their span is, and hope for the be- yond, and heaven's blessing on holy love and all good things that are. This was what those liquid notes seemed to say to the most happy pair who stood hand in hand in the vestibule and thought of all they had escaped and all that they ;had WOE. "Well, Quaritch, if yoand Ida have quite done staring at each other, which isn't very interesting to a third party, perhaps you will not mind telling us how you hap. pened on old Sir Jamesde la Molle's hoard. Thus adjured, Harold began his thrilling story, telling the whole history of the night in detail, and if his hearers had expected to be astonished, certainly their -expecta- tions were conside ably more than fulfilled. "Upon my word," said the squire when he had done, "I think I am beginning to grow superstitious in my old age. Hang me if I don't believe it. was the finger of Provi- dence itself -that pointed out those letters to you. Anyway, I'm off to see the spoil. Run.and get your hat, Ida, my dear, and We will all go toeetbes'." ' And they went and looked at the chest brimful of red gold; yes, and passed down, all three of them, into those chill presences in the bowels of the mount, and, coming thence awed and silent, sealed up the place forever. payment of the same succession duty which he would have been called ut:on to meet had he inherited a like sum from a cousin at the pre- sent time. And so it came to pass that when the mortgage money was due it was paid to the last farthing, capital and interest,and Edward Cossey lost his hold upon Honham forever. As for Edward Cossey himsel£,we may say one more word about him. In the course of time he got over his violent passion for Ida sufficiently to allow him to make a brilliant marriage with the only daughter of an impecunious peer. She keeps het name and title and he plays the part of the necessary husband. Anyhow, my reader, if it is your glorious fortune to frequent the gilded saloons of the great, you may meet Lady Honoria Tallbit and Dir Cossey. If you do meet him, how- ever,it may be as well to avoid him, for the events of his life have not been of a nature to improve his temper. This much then of Edward Cossey. If after leaving the gilded saloons aforesaid ycu ehould happen to wan- der down Piccadilly or the Strand, as the case may be, you may meet another character in this history. You may dee a sweet, pa'e fece,still stamped with.a childlike roundness and simplicity, but half .hidden in the coarse hood of the nun. You may see her, and if you care to fol- • low you may find what is the,work wherein she seeks .her peace. It would shock you;you'would fly from it in horror; but in her work of mercy and loving kindness—and she does it unflinchingly—and among her fellow nuns there is no one more beloved than Sister Agnes. So good -by to her also. Harold Quaritch and Ida were married in the spring, and the vil- lage children strewed.the church- yard. path—the same path where in anguish of soul they had meet and parted on that dd'eary winter's night —with primroses and violets. And there at the old church door, when the wreath is on her brow and the veil about her face, let us bid farewell to Ida and her husband, Harold Quaritch. CONCLUSION. GOOD BY. ' On the following morning such inhabitants of Boisingham as hap- pened to be about were much in- terested at seeing an ordinary farm tumbrel corning down the main street, and being driven, or rather led,hy no less a person than George himself, while behind it walked the well-known form of the old squire, arm -in -arm with Colonel Quaritch. They were still more interested, however, when the tumbrel drew up at the door of the bank—not Cossey's, but the opposition bank— where, although , it was Boxing, Day, the manager and the clerk were waiting, apparently for its coming. - •' But their interest culminated When they perceived that the cart only contained a few flour sacks,and yet that each rot these sacks seemed to require three or four men to lift it with any comfort. Thus was the gold safely housed. Upon being weighed its value was found to be about fifty three thou- sand pounds of modern money. As, however, come of tbe coins were exceedingly rare, and of great value to museums and collectors, this value was considerably increased, and the treasure was ultimately sold for fifty-five thousand two hun- dred acid fifty-four pounds. Only Ida kept back enough of the choic- est coins to make a gold waistband or girdle and a necklace for herself, destined no doubt in fi ture days to form the most cherished heirloom of the Quaritch family. On that same evening the squire and Harold went to London and husband and father in the whole Solicitor to the Treasury. Fortun- ately they were able to refer to the will of Sir Edward de la Molle, the second baronet, in which he special- ly devised to his cousin, Geoffrey Dofferleigh, and his heirs forever, not only his estates, but his lands, "together with the treasure hid thereon or elsewhere by my late murdered father, Sir James de la Molle." Also they produced the writing which Ida had found in the old Bible, and the parchment dis- covered by George among the coin. These throe documents formed a chain of evidence which even offi- cials cials interested for the Treasury could not refuse to admit, and in the upshot the crown renounced its claims, and the property in the gold countryside,. Perhaps there may be a vacant chair„ and another tomb among the ranks of the departed 1)e la atones; perhaps the ancient walls will no longer echo to the sound of the ol.I squire's etonorian'veice. And what of that It, is our common lot. But when he goes the country- side will lose a man of whom they will not see the like again, for the breed is dead or dying; a man whose very prejudices, inconsistencies, and occasional wrong-headed violence will be held, when he is no longer here, to have been endearing quali- ties.

Canada, Iier•Relatlon to ,England and the United States, • • (Contributed) aVe have noticed, already, the seditious and revolutionary tac- tics of our legislators, when laGor- ing through the snow -drifts of opposition. Such acts, whatever the results„ -can but bo different from praiseworthy. The duty, and only value, of an opposition, is to watch over and guard the interests of the country. Soon as they lapse into faction, they Cease to represent any por- tion of the people. That form of government is • best which most conduces to public happiness. - No people are so free as those who love the laws of the. realm wherein they reside. Freedom is a synonyms for love of law.— Wherever Anarchists, Nihilists, and other stripes of discontent are found, we may safely- assume that some essential clement is lacking in the main government. We do not say there is a pin out or a screw loose in the .constitution, we rather affirm that it never was there. The base, the ground of the national fabric, is faulty be- cause not complete. Tho missing - link cannot be found by discerp- tion and Sequent subsumption of ideas as the Concord School teach- es. A new c'teation is absolutely necessary, germinating from the grand central.. ideaof the ages. Tho real fftness•and symmetry of a constitution will never he at- tained by decrying present govern- mental formularies: Some one must devise a scheme sufficiently elasti,: to meet and forever put to silence all sound of complaint. Kickers have always existed in some form, though as seditious wranglers, the species is not very wide spread. The most salient trait in some of our'boss kickers is a pedantry, so lovely and de- lectable, that we fancy we ;an sometimes hear their lips Smack under a sweet consciousness of their own wit and profundity of thought, yet, taking Ruskin as authority, those aro not educated men. This we know by their dia- lect. Education never descends to the employment of using other tha.n'argumentative language, be - $80, on account of our tariff. 1 PASTE IN YOUR HAT.

Theirs is a protective tariff, and our kickers call thele the richest country in the world, at the same time they complain of our tariff as being too high. if we obtain Free Trade with the United States they must oleo allow England to share the ad- vantages, otherwise we must adopt their tariff, and wall out England. At present, Canadian bills aro only taken in the United Status at a discount of twenty per cent. A young man to whom his father has given $1,000, finds, on his ar- •tival in Yankeetown, that be has but x;800 to invest in land, or to furnish a home. In the fish acid seal affairs the United States are not inclined to be genial neighbors. "We have no sentiments or sympa- thies in common with England," is the second greatest maxim of the United State. The greatest is loye tor the Republic. None need try to condone or conceal the obvious fact, that the Republic is hostile to Cana- da, and seeks, and will continue to seek occasion to annoy and irritate her. So long as we are in any way allied to England, , they dare not go farther' than bluster and prig a lob- ster or a sardine once in a while. If we become self -dependent, that mo- ment we deprive ourselves of all Brit- ish sympathy and assistance, and the United States will not longer hesitate to show her hand, nor is it at all likely that peace would be restored till the name Canada is extinct, and the Provinces reconstructed and re- named by the IEgis at Washington, and all lucratives offices be filled by Yankee carpet baggers. Reciprocity instead of preventing this,condition, will rather hasten it. Knowing pre- sent and past truths of the case the Yankees will justly regard our im- portunity as cowardly, cringing, and exceedingly. ignoble. The kickers essay to refute the fore- going patent facts, by a very classic query, "How do you .know ?" This is all, even the boss of the ranch goes nu farther. Sometimes a pretty con- tradiction is used. No disproof is at- tempted. Here the annexatoin basilisk puts in an appearance, and "suggests, that it is folly to fight against fate, that our wisest plan is to yield to the in- evitable, and at once submit to be absorbed by the Republic, which, though not yet quite perfect, is by far the best governed country the world ever saw." If it is the best governed, how are we to account for the frequent ebulitions of discontent, White Caps, Vigilance Committees, Irish Republics, Regulators, ete., whose deeds are recorded so faithfully by the daily papers ? Where is an- other goverument fostering in its do- main a foreign conclave, whose • sole object is to abet discord and rebellion in a sister nation? It is claimed for the United States, that,by constitution, all her citizens are free and equal, and•that it is not her duty to forbid their -organizing, or to meddle with their transactions. Perhaps such is the case. Still, not- withstanding the vast amount of rest- lessness and disquiet, no Yankee dares find. fault with the Republic. Their freedom ie very restrictive. It is not akin to British freedom. Here we may say what .we will against Eng- land or Canada, no notice is taken of such talk, because British freedom is not the kind that hears national de- struction in the social chats of the 'Passing hours. U. AN ENERGETIC LITTLE SALESWOal AN. I beard a story about a pretty little widow the. other day which contains a hint to young women who are suddenly thrown upon their own resources. 'This little woman lost her husband, and in the course of time it became necessary to do something to support herself. After trying a gooJ many places, she was given a position in a State street dry goods store, with the handker- chief counter as her department. The first day she was there a gentle- man came along and stopped at her eounter to look at the goods.' She felt that she ought to sell him some- thing, so she went atit energetically, and. though the man tried in every way to elude her persuasiveness, bo' couldn't do it, and was finally forced to buy a half-dozen handkerchiefs. When she got Ler salary at the end of the week she found a substantial increase over the figure nt which site had been engaged. She asked she cashier the reason why. "Because of a sale you made the first day you came. If you remem- b:r, you sold half a dozen handker- chiefAto a gentleman after Making a long talk." "Yes, I remember," she said. "That was )1r Pardridge. He thought your salary ought to be raised." This was a good while ago. The lady is happily married again. You may be sure that a girl who eau sell goods to the proprietor of the store will not he any too long in getting a husband, and et rood one too.— ing satisfiedthat simple truth Chicago Mail. always appears to greatest advan- tage,, and is most convincing when It is estimated that the number 'expressed ih the kindest sentences.

Every weed occupies the space in which some more valuable plant should be growing. Do not allow the water to stand around the small fruit plants; see that good surface drainage is pro- vided. Jot down any bits of information about gardening for future use; they may be lost if you trust to your memory. Waldo F. Brown suggests in Farmers' Review that posts which must bear tbe strain of stretched wire fencing be set in cement. Do not leave a tool or waggon out of doors when not in actual use. Let the horses take them to the barn, when you quit work at night, as a rule, Fathomless mud in country roads, with stones abounding in adjacent fields, suggest to_the mind an evil and its cure—permanent cure if the effort be made in good earnest.' Oil the bearings of the mower often, using only a few drops of oil each time. Every time you stop to oil the machine, cast a glance around to see that the bolts and pins and nuts are all right. A barrel of water and twelve ounces of Paris green on a buck- board waggon, the mixture kept well stirred and applied with a hand -sprinkler, two gallons to 86 rods of rows, is the way Waldo F. Brown kills potato bugs. In purchasing and bringing on to the farm new or fresh breeding stock, it will be found a good plan to know how they have been fed, as a sudden change of feed; -especially at this time, may often prove quite injurious. • During hot' weather changes in the feed or treatment should be made gradually. Over 1,000,000,000 forest trees were planted on the prairies of the Northwest last year. Nebraska. planted the largest number, Kansas second,Dakota third and Minnesota fourth. With this rate of tree O planting the blizzard will soon be a thing of the past.' Extremes of heat and cold will be modified, and ex- cessive droughts less frequent. It is a very important item to have the horses comfortable at this timet and cleanliness is necessaryin improving this. The sweat collects and bolds the dtist, and if not re- moved will add very much to their discomfort. It is a good plan to curry and brush off clean after they have cooled off at night, and they will enjoy their night rest notch bet- ter than if they are allowed to stand until morning. rotesSiaoxl and other Chards of horses and mules employed for street car services in Canada and the United eatatee is, in round numbers, 115,000; 1 being the smallest number owned by., any one company, 7,688 tho largest, and 165 the average.
