She made up her mind, then, in a moment. ‘ Your niece, dear sir?’ she said --‘ your adopted child 1’ ‘ Yes, Miss Cook.’ ‘Oh, my d irling dear, come to your own Cook’s armsl Come, come 3’ These words were not addressed to old Mr. Vance, but to the little Laura, who in another moment found herself encircled in a voluminous embrace by Miss Cook. ‘ Very well,’ said old Mr. Chris- topher Vance; ‘ that is as it should be.

But I want him to say what sort of diet and so on will be In the meantime, let half-a dozen young chickens be boiled, and give her the broth.’ Mr. Vance then once more em- braced Laura, who seemed much more inclined to stay with him than to accompany Miss Cook; but the housekeeper took her away, and by that time on the next day a wonder- ful change had taken place iii the appearance of the poor little desti- tute child. Some nourishing food-a long night’s rest on a bed of downâ€"clo- thing that would have done for a princess, only no princess could very well have been found to compare in beauty with Laura-:made her quite another creature, and old Mr. Vance might fairly be said to dual upon her. For the first time for years, he did not take his morning lounge oown Bond Street, but satin his library talking to Laura, while she Was on- sconced in one of the soft, deep, old arm-chairs in the room. Miss Cook was desperate. But still more desperate was she when she heard that Mr. Vance had sent for a solicitor, and meant at once to make his will. She flew to Mr. Jefl‘reys, and told ‘ A coachâ€"a coach 1’ he cried, him all that had happened, and for a ‘ Breakfast at once I No, dinner !â€" ew moments even that :harp prac- that is, a coach to Clarges street, titioner was at fault, and did not and two milliners, and spare nothing kHOW Whal 10 do- A coachâ€"a coach I’ for my child l ‘My love,’ he then said, ‘ you tnust ~ Here you are, sir,’ cried a hack- get him into the humor to sign the nev-coacliman, as he brought his old Where to, 811‘ P’ ‘ Clarges streetâ€"No. 2 Clarges street, at once!

He had found a human heart that would love him! .Oh, what a priceless treasure that was to pick up on a morning’s walk' Happy, happy old gentleman I And so the great uncle and the poor, ragged. half-starved grand- hiece, arrived together at Clarges street; and Mr. Vance, with a vigor and a firm step that he had not been able to exhibit for many a your, car- riedâ€"actually himself carried‘lhe little Laura into the house. Miss Cook uttered a scream. ‘ Goodness gracious, sirl is this deed of gift of the house and its con- ‘lumbcring vehicle to a stand still.

And then come back to me, and tell me what he says.’ Miss Cook did try him that evening and to her intense surprise, Mr. Vance saidâ€"- ‘I have thought of oil that, Miss Cook. My dear child says that she feels the climate of England severe- lv, so I intend to go with her and take a villa at Nice. You have of- ten said that you could manage a lodging and hoarding-house well, so I intend to keep my word with you by giving You at once this freehold house and all the furniture. You can find some professional man to draw the necessary deed, and I will Sign it. Nothing could be better than this. Miss Cook was profuse in her thanks. the right thing to do with bcggars’ | and on the next evening Mr. Jeff- bratsl Thci‘c’s urer the works house, sir.’ ‘Woman,’ said Mr. Vance, ‘I forgive Von, because you spoke in ignorance. This young lady is my niece once removed.’ ‘ Niece ?’ ‘ Yes, Miss Cook. Her grand- mother was my own dear sister Laura, who never made but one er- ror in her lite, and that was in marry- ing her scamp of a cousin George ; but in this, young lady. you behold my dear, dear adopted child.’ ‘ Child?’ ‘ Yes, Miss Cook, and the heiress of all I possess.’ Miss Cook sat down at once on Ircysâ€"‘ they are. reys duly arrived, with the deed of ngt all prepared. He read it over to Mr. Vance, and it was just what it purported to be. ‘ Very well, said the old gentle- man, ‘I willsign it.

What I said you should have, you shall have. This freehold house, and all its contents, shall be yours.’ Then Miss Cook reflected upon the little scheme of Mr. Jeffrey’s and she saw that there was as yet noth- shape as the deed of gift, but which was in truth a will. For one moment. then, Jeffrevs and Miss Cook exchanged glances, as Jeffrey's put the duly signed and witnessed will in his pocket. But site followed him to the hall. ‘It is done?’ she said. ‘ Yes-yes.’ RICHMOND HILL, FRIDAY, .NOVEDIBER, 2‘2 1 l l .___.., 861. dip £01711 1612mm ADVERTISER. MAM \./ TERMS: $1 50 In Advance.

The sooner that a man, after he has made such a happy dis- position of his property, goes to an- - otliet and a better world, Miss Cook, the better.’ Miss Cook turned very pale. ‘He is old.’ ‘ Yes, and any excitement would be ltitalmtnat is, any physical excite- ment, such as a bad fall. Don't be surprised if he is brought home some day soon in a bad way.’ ‘ Ah I Youâ€"-’ ‘ What '1’ ‘ Nothingâ€"nothing I’ Mr. Jefi't'eys smiled and left the house. The next morning, Mr. Vance, contrary to his usual custom, sent for a coach. for he always walked nil preference to riding. He took the dear little Laura with him, and they went together to the chambers of a 1 Mr. Weathcrly, in the Temple, and ' there Mr. Vance duly executed a will. by which he left the whole of his property to Laura. ‘Now,’ he said, as he took the will and buttoned it up in an inner pocket of his coatâ€"for he would not as the attorney wished, leave it in his careâ€"J now I don't mind walk- ing; for, if anything should happen to me, my dear child is safe. I would not walk here, because, until I had made and duly executed this will, I felt heund to take all the care of myâ€" self 1 could.’ And so, with Laura’s hand in his. Mr. Christopher Vance walked homewards. It was Laura who only Was able to give a distinct account of what had happened on their road home. By her statement, they had reach» ed the Oxford road, as it was then called, when, from a narrow street, a man made a sudden rush with something in his hand, she could not tell what, which struck Mr. Vance on the back, and threw him violently to the ground. The man then, with- out pausing a moment in his career of violence, trampled over him, and ran on, disappearing down another narrow turning on the opposite side of the way. All this was done with such rapi- dity that Laura had no time to study the appearance of the man, or even to give an alarm. When the passengers ran up to assist old Mr. Vance, they found him insensible, and little Laura sob- bing bitterly. She was able to give them the ad- dress in Clarges street, and Mr.’ Vance was taken home more dead than alive. Miss Cook met the th0 men in the ball who carried the old gentleman in, and they saw that she was so fearfully pale that they quite pitied her. l ‘Gracious heavens !’ she exclaim- ‘ How has this happened ?’ The only explanation that could be given was the mere fact that some one had run violently against the old gentleman and thrown him down. A surgeon and physician were at once sent for, and they both declared that, although there was no serious injury, a man at his advanced period of life was not likely to survrve the shock of such an accident. From that moment, Miss Cook asa sumed the full air of mistress of the house; and she sent boldly for Mr. Jefi'reys, who dined with her that day. The little Laura was left to hers self, and she crept up to the cham‘ her in which lay the old man who had been so kind to her. Miss Cook had assured the medis cal men that she would not leave the bedside of so kind a master for a moment; but she was dining with Mr. efi’reys, and the old man had been alone for more than an hour. When the little Laura made her way into the room, she saw that theT eyes of her adopted father had an anxious leok about them; and before she had fairly crossed the threshold of the chamber, she heard that he was pronouncing her name. ‘Laura! Laura! Laura! Laura l’ ‘I am here, dear father.’ ‘ Oh, my child, my child, how long 1 have been calling to you l’ ‘Oh, fatlier,’â€"--she always called him fatherâ€"d Miss Cook told me I was not to come to you, as you did not want me.’ ‘Cruel! cruell My dear child, listen. I am dying, and I seem to see and comprehend things more clearly now. I want you to leave this house at once.’ ‘Leave you, dear father ?’ .._......... u.- ed ‘ Yes, yes. I have not an hour to live, I feel assured. The man who threw me down in Oxford Road was the lawyer Miss Cook brought to the house yesterday. There is something, I know not what, going on, that is wicked, my child. Take the will that I made this morningâ€"â€" take it at once in your hand, and fly.’ , ‘ The will, dear father? ‘Yes, oh, yes, fly with it! Oh, how foolish I was not to leave it with Mr. Weatlierley. My own dear, dear child, come closer to me.’ Laura burst into tears. ‘ Draw the curtain aside, dearâ€"I want to look upon your dear face.

Oh heaven I’ There was a smile upon the face of the old man. and he turned his head on one side and breathed his last. (To be concluded in our next.) OUT OF WORK. We have lately seen the celebrat- ed man whose ‘soul was sewed up in a clover leaf’â€"-â€"the now insignificant atom 01 creationâ€"the individual who only counts one sixteenth part of a man in census reports. He does not attempt to keep the back ground, either, as one would sup~ pose it natural for him to do.

No hidden harvests in the generous hearts of a thousand suiishinny slopes? Is there no land of promise where the strong arm of a determined man can win the fair- est guerdon of success? If you have no work here, why don’t you go where it is? A man is never ‘out of work ’ until he is out of the world! ‘ Out of work I’ Has he no over- tasked wife at home, who maintains him in his idleness by toiling at the needle when the whiteâ€"haired babies are asleep? whose aching brow and tired spine must never be ai- luded to, ‘because he hates to hear women grumbling!’ would it dea- grade him to help her in her house hold cares~even to hold the fretful baby for a fow minutes, at. the risk of being called ‘ Betty ’ by his boon companions of the grocery?

The following are the opinions of sotne of the most learned judges in England on the crime of drunken- ness :â€" ‘ There is scarcely a crime before me that is not directly or indirectly caused by strong drink.’â€"-Judge Coleridge. ‘Ifit were not for this drinking you (the jury) and I would have no- thing to do.’â€"â€"Judgc Patterson. ‘If all men could be dissuaded from the use of intoxicating liquors, the office of a judge would be a sin- ecure.’â€"-Judge Alderson. ‘I find in every calendarvthat comes before me. one unfailing source,directly or indireotlypfmost of the crimes that are committed.

' The enormous consumption ofin- toxicating liquors which prevails through the land, is a source of crime, not only more fertile than any other, but than all others added to- gether.‘â€"M. D.

It cannot be that earth is man’s only abiding place. ltcannot be that our life is a bubble cost up by the ocean of eternity, to float a moment on its waves, and sink into nothing- ness. Else, why is it, the high and glorious aspirations, which leap like angels froth the temple of our hearts, are forever wandering about unsatisfied? Why is it that the rainbow and the clouds come over us with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off and leave us to muse upon their loveliness? Why is it that the stars which ‘ hold their festival around the midnight throne,’ are set above the grasp of our Ii- mited faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory ?-â€"~» And, finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are pre- sented to our view and then taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of our affections to flow back in Alpine torrents to our hearts? We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades-wwlicre the stars will be spread out before us like the Islands that slumber in the ocean, and where the beautiful beings which here pass before us like shadows, will stay in our presence for ever. MANAGEMENT OF PIGS WHEN FATTENING. This should be commenced or preceded by a moderately good feeda time, oe attended by loss. The system is unaccustomed to rich food, and cannot appropriate it, beâ€" cause it has no fat cells ready to red ccive it. These would he produc- ed by food of moderately good qua~ lity, after which the pig might have stronger food, and would be able to make good use of it. When meal is given to pigs for the purpose of fat- tening them, its liberal use is most economical. It should be supplied three times daily at regular inter- vals, and should be given as a thick paste. The feeder should give them as much, at each meal, as they will eat, and, should any remain in the trough, it should be shut off from the pigs by a movable flap, in which case they receive it with their next meal ;â€"â€"-hut the careful feeder will soon know what their can manage to consume, and regua late the quantity accordingly. After feeding pigs they should be kept as quiet as possible, for the more they sleep the more progress they will make. It is a sure sign that they are not paying when fate tening pigs are seen uneasy and wandering about the sly ;-â€"-the sooner they are made lazy, the sooner they begin to pay. Our ima proved breeds have a great apti- tude for fattening, but this tendency is regulated by the same principles that operate in all other stock. The Suffolk and improved Berkshire may now be considered among the most popular breeds in Canada as well as in Britain, coming early to maturity, and possessing great fata tening properties. It should always be borne in mind in the manage-1 mcnt of swine that warmth, clean. liness, and regular feeding are, under all circumstances, essential to profitable success.
