AUNT BARBARA'S WILL. ** Effie; my love, Lady Batrington will be here directly to take you for your drive | in the park. She is quite proud to cha- | perone my pretty niece. You should hear { how enthusiastic she is about your beauty! { Shé assures me you have caused quite a | fureur in society this season. You little know how much she admires you." "Yes, I do, aunty. ' She flatters me till { I am weary of hearing my own perfec- | tions sounded in 'my ears, especially as I | do nop think her ladyship sincere. 1 must | be more than human to be the perfect be- { ing she would have me think myself. I feel sure she is a false-hearted woman." "Well, Effie, I think I agree with you. I cannot say I much like her lad | her son, however, and also in to be his wife. I codfess, Effie, you would | gratify my dearest wish if this should take |" | place. I am not likely to live long, and it | would be a great comfort to me to know | you were safely married. But not even | to see you my lady would I urge this alli- | ance, if I did not believe Lord Charles to { be all that is noble gnd true." | Effie kissed her aunt, and then left her, | to prepare herself for Lady Barrington, As she reached her room, she half sighed. Scarcely to herself did she dare own the | fact that another held a far higher place in | her love than did Lord Charles Barring: [ ton. Alone as she was, her cheeks flushed with shame as she felt she was giving her | love, unsought, to one, too, who for some time past had evidently avoided her so. | ciety... True, Ronald Markham was poor | --n struggling barrister, whose briefs were few; but Effie felt a strange, tumultuous feeling near her heart whenever he was present, even though he never noticed her. How different from the calmness with which she received the undisguised adula- | tion of his lordship! { Whilst Effie and her auni were discus: .| sing Lady Barrington and her son, they in their turn were the topic of conversation in one of the luxurious mansions in Gros- venor Square, " You are going to call for Effie Leslie, I suppose," said Lord Charles, as he was | about to attend his lady-mother to her | carriage, which had heen just announced | by a servant. I shall meet you in the park, and be ready to have my promenade with my most bewitching fiancee," '*Bearcely that yet, Charles. Pray do be cautious, my dear boy; we are not cer- tain the old lady has really made her will in her favor, I shall try and find out this morning; I am going 'carlier 'than usual, that I may have a private fefe-a-fete with Mrs. Graham before Effie appears. The girl is all very well as regards beauty; but you could not mavey her unless she pos- sessed a fortune. 1 do not wigh to re- proach you, Charles, but your extrava- gance has sadly crippled me* No fortune could long stand the constant calls made upon it by your debts. You must marry | for money, remember." "So I intended to, my dear mother. T | am not ambitious enough to try love in a | cottage, pretty as it sounds in theory. Fortunately, Effie will have a good large sum of money, and then she is 4 beauty into the bargain." We must suppose Lady. Barrington's private chat with Mrs. Graham was satis- factory, for she Was in quite a playful moed when Effie joined her," She tapped her on the chéek, and declared that she grew more lovely every day. % Charles, she said, was desperately. in fose; and she hoped Effie would not prove hard-heurted, but promise to give { her'beautifd self away to him without too long a debyy. Then shewent on to talk of the family jewels, wlich were to be reset; and ended b | % 3 i must leave all this for Charles to settle. No doubt; at our hall to-mor. row, he will find an opportunity to plead his cause." fate. Certainly, Lady Barrington seemed | to take it for granted that Effie would con- | sent. True, her rank would be far higher | than gny to which she could have aspired. Then, Roo, Effie was not perfect. She felt flattered at the cclat such a marriage | would give her, and she rather liked be- ing the object of envy to so many of her young companions. She, also liked Lord | Charles very much. She could not help it; he was so courteous in his manner, and she believed, really loved her. Besides which, he was a perfect Adonis----the hand- | somest man of his day. And how pleased her dear, kind Aunt Barbara would be! BL ng yo') Ronald could not love he as she once suspected he did, or, of course, he would have spoken ere this. She must school her heart te.think no more of him. Effié Leslie was, as we have said, very atiful; her figure was graceful and dig- ey her brow lofty, and expanded, eyes deep and well set, and hair rivalling the raven's wing in glossy darkness, She was truly magnificent in her beauty. Born of a good, but decayed family,and left an orphan at five years old, she was gdopted by her Aunt Barbara, the only wealthy member of a4 very numerous family. This maiden lady was rather. soured in temper, from having been for many years beset by her necessitous relatives, all ea- to become sharers of her wealth. She was disgusted by their thadying treatment of her, and determined] to thwart them. Her sister, the mother of Effie, had been [ihe one excepfion to the rule. Though | the widow of a naval officer; with nothing | | | but her pension, she had never appealedto | her relative for aid. This decided "Aunt | Barbara--as she was always called--to adopt her child. [It would he impossible to conceive the | consternation this event cXcited. her to think of the unnéoéssary burden _Jshe was inflicting on herself; but it was of no use. Then they took to Rating Effie, especial- ly when she grew tobe so beautiful and accomplished. They plotted and plan- ned to bring her into discredit with Aunt Barbara, but to no purpose. They were nearly frantic with jealousy when they heard she was the declared heiress and about to marry a lord! * Yet, with all their spite against her, they were not above begging her to use her influence with Aunt Barbara for their benefit. Effie was very sweet-tempered, and never resented the bitter things they said of her: but bore with-her aunt's caprices, and gave her all the loving care of a daughter. This brings us to the momentous day of the ball. EME was just dressed, when her aunt's maid rushed to her, imploring her feared she was ill. - "ne, it was too trie. Aunt Barbara was r fit, from which she never | found to be *orning she was a rallied; and before \ corpse, All the cousins flocked to her fune each hoping he or she was emewbered in the will. On their assembling in the after the funeral, the lawyer made the startling' announcement that no will was to be | found, He had. taken charge.of eyery- thing immediately after Mrs. Graham's Ueath, and had searched carefully, but | 'eould find no will of any kind. " The result' was, the heir-at-law, Effie's bitterest enemy, claimed the property,and | desired Effie to give up possessioneof eve- rything that belonged to his relative. Effie was seated in her old ngrses' cot- tage, whither she had gone for shditer. She had that morning answered an advertise ment in the Timey for the situation of go- verness, Lady Barrington had written once to | her, merely a cold letter of condolence, but | made no mention of any further inter- | course between them. She merely said | she and her son intended tas reside for | some time abroad, Effie was very sad as she sat thinking of her loss, for she liad sincerely loved her | Aunt Barbara. She was grieved, too, that all her aunt's precious curiosities, which sold. The new heir terined them useless trash, and declared he would not haye them lum- bering up his house. How Effie wished she had money, that she might buy them, and thus prevent them from falling into strangers' hands! her old nurse, in the outer room. It was a sound which made her heart bound, and her whole frame quiver with a delightful tremor. Yes, it was Ronald's voice! What could he want), She soon knew. Ronald had come to ask Eftie to be his wife. Though he could not give her the luxu- ries she had been accustomed to, his prac- tice was now sufficient to "enable him to live in comfort. He told her how long he had loved: her, but dared not seck her while she was wealthy, lest he should be suspected of be- ing a fortune hunter. Then he had heard that she was, or about to be, engaged to Lord Charles Barrington, and he knew he must learn to think of her as a prize be- yond his reath. Her change of fortune had given him courage, and he now im- plored her to listen to his suit. Ronald had some. difficulty in overcom- ing Effie's scruples; but when he found she, too, had loved-him, he"vegpt away all the impediments in their way, with such energy, that Effie wag obfiged to yield. As he would not hear of her going out as a governess, they were Married almost immediately. "Why, Ronald," cried Effie, as®she en- Effie felt she was powerless to resist her | by Ronald in their new home, 'this cabi-. net and all those curiosities belunged t {my dear Aunt Barbara!"

The will was proved to be genuine, and the heir-at-law was obliged to yield posses- 'sionto the rightful owner. Effie often laughingly tells her husband that, in spite | of all his caution, he has been duped into marrying a rich wife. Lord Charles Barrington soon afterwards married a young girl, daughter of a sup- posed millionaire; but after their marriage it was found that her father was a despe- rate speculstor, and his wealth was a mere mith. " And the husband and wife lived hap- pily ever after," would be the natural end cient, in the minds of independent men, to have led to a condemnation of . the Gov- ernment. But what shall - we say of the :| proposition itself? Could any sane man in Ontario have believed it possible that the Parliament of Canada could sanction such a monstrous proposal ! Incredible as' it may seem, a majority of the members voted in favor of the schemo--and Lawson and Walsh were amongst those who voted for it. SeverabPamendments to the Gov- ernment scheme were proposed, but they were all voted down, our two members voting with the Government on every di- vision. They even voted against an amendment asking that the matter should be laid over till next session, to give time for full consideration and the preparation 4 of my little story, only for an additi which I am bound to make, and it is this: out of her abundant wealth, Effie spared much for her less fortunate and disap- pointed cousins; and so, returning good for evil, they all benefitted by Aunt Bar- BARA'S WiLL. AN OUTRAGEOUS PROPOSITION. We cannot, find words sufficiectly strong | to characterize the scheme introduced last week by the Dominion Gover t to the of esti of the cost of the road. They were bound to be united with British Co- lumbia at alk hazards ; no matter what it costs, they were bound that the 'Dominion should extend its borders to the Pacific; they seem to have forgotten altogether the fable of the toad and the ox: If British Columbia wishes to come, into the union [ let it do so on equal terms with other por tions of the Dominion. The country has had sad experience. enough in regard'to the administration of Manitoba, House of Commons, for the union of British Columbia with Canada, and the details of it are so outrageous that itis almost impossible to believe that a major- ity of the members of the House of Com- mons have so far become the servants of Sir John A. and Cartier, and so lost to the interests and welfare of .the country, as to vote for so monstrous a proposition. We ask our readers to read carefully the de- tails of the scheme, and, after they have fully comprehended the enormity of the work that the Government insist on the Dominion undertaking, say if Messrs. Walsh and Lawson, who voted for the measure, do not deserve the most. severe d tion at the hands of their con- stituents. A calm reflection on the mat- ter--if it is possible for a person to reflect calmly on such a scheme --is enough * to raise the indignation of every well-wisher of the Dominion against the men who voted to saddle the country with a burden | it can never carry. Now for the details of this 'wondettal scheme. In the first place, the population of British Columbia is say 60,000, and v this includes whites, Indians, and Chinese, the white population being only about 15,- "n order to induce this small nnm- unite their fortunes with * Cartier & Co. | | 000; those of Canada, Jo propose to pay them annually a-million dollars, or, in other worgs, néar- ly $10 a head for every man, woman and | ohild in the territory, conning: Indians and Chinese, which is not-done in count- | ing the population of the othér Provinces! | In return for this the Dominion would re- | ceive probably $250,000, or about half - | what she pays. One would think this was quite concession enough to please any ord- | inary people. But concession" does not | stop here. The violation of the principle | of representation by population in the case of Manitoba last year has horne its fruits, and the British Columbians insist that the | | Confederation Act shall be" violated for their benefit also, and the Government | | ask the House to consent to their having] three representatives in the Senate and | six in the Howse of Commons. If this | | business of giving members of Parliament | | for constituencies one-tenth the size of | those in this Province, as has been done | in Manitoba, and is now proposed in Bri- | tish Columbia, is continued as fast as new Provinces are carved out of the North | West, Ontario, though possessing more | than one-half the population jand wealth | of the Dominion, will soon be buried be- | | neath this rotten-borough system, and re- |- | duced to the position of a cypher in the | government. While Ontario has only one | representative for every 20,000 people, {2,600 ! Here is liberality for you again, and liberality with which the people for whose benefit it is conceded should be sat- isfied. The worst is yet to come, however, and we ask the reader to take a long 'breath before going further. '. The Domin- ion Government has actually consented to build from Canada to the Pacific, within ten years, a railway that will cost, at the lowest calculation, one hundred millions of dollars! Think for a moment of the enor- mity of thig sum. Bit while this is the lowest sum that it is estimated to cost, it is shown that if constructed on the same terms as the, American Pacific road, it would gost one hnndred and~eighty-seven millions of dollars, and Mr. Cartwright, a Conservative members of the House, gave figures during the debate to show that the cost would be two hundred and thirty-six | millions gf dollars -- -£236,000,000 ! !! . And | Mr. Intercolonial, estimates that it will cost $8,000,000 per annum to work the road | | after it is built! The next question is, how does the Government propose to pay for the building of the road ! Well, simply | in this way: By agrant of sixty-four millions of acres of land a ** liberal money" | subsidy;" « Sir Francis Hincks thinks the | latter might be a million and a-half per | annum, and that Canada could pay -that | without an increase of taxation! But the | thing does not stop here even. Sir George "§. Cartier wants Canada to pay the. Brit- ish Columbisms £100,000 a year for relin- of the ruad would pass through that Pro- | | vines, will give her land free! i Wa have above stated, inas concise a | 'y by oo haley "the meaning whereof is still shorud-. Trmortment > "a oy i ug a standing at the British Columbia is to have one for every | Fleming, the chief engineer of the | ig a repetition of difficulties. What Canada is asked to do by Jobn A., Cartier & Co., is perfectly outrageous, and the members from Ontario who voted in favor of it nay 'rest assured that ' their constituents will not forget it when tlie day of reckoning comes. -- Norfolk Reforin- er, A BRIDEGROOM SHOT DOWN. Dark and bloody was the deed! A feel- ing of horror thrilled through the hearts of the many witnesses who stood by and saw a young and happy bridegroom shot down, and without any apparent cause, by /the hand of the sneaking assassin. A merry and joyous company had - as- sembled last evening in the parlor of the St. Nicholas Hotel to do honor to the union of two loving hearts--the marriage of Mr. J. C. Foster; of Bowling Green, K., to Miss Rose : Bird, of this city. Father Donnelly had just performed the marriage ceremony. The bride was in a parlor attended by a bevy of beauties and merry young maidens. The proud bride- groom had just passed out to the saloon to receive the pledges and congratulations of his friends when there entered an uninvj- ted guest, a Mr. Thomas Smith, of Inde- pendence, who at once accosted Foster. A ystander heard the following conversa- od i in inystery. corner of the bar when Smith said: *" You do not mean itr ? "1 do." "Then prepare yourselt," At the same time he produced a navy 'revolver; and fifed into Foster. Turning around, without a word of ex- planation, the assassin walked out of the |- saloon, putting up his pistol as he walked coolly across the street past the Court House. Turning between the Market { House and the Court House, he mounted | his horse, and fled out into the darkness of | the night, unmolested. The bridegroom [staggered backward as he roccived the | shot, and fell upon awindow bench. Medi- | cal attendance was soon upon the scene, {and the wounded man was carried up | stairs. His cries 'were continuous. * His only -exclamations being, 'Tom Smith, why did you murder ie!" "Oh, why have you shot me down upon this, my wedding night!" "I, who was y. our best friend, and loved you! Qh, Tom, why { have you murdered me!" A hasty examination of the wonnd, by Drs. Milligan, Taylor, and other surgeons, whose names we were unable tolearn, show that the bullet passed through the right hand, and had entered the abdomen near the groin, and had glanced obliquely down- { ward, lodging about three inches from where it had entered. The opinion of the surgeons was that the wound was danger- ous, but not necessarily fatal. The scenc in the parlor was beyond de- scription. * The fair and clegantly . attired bride stricken down in her grief and hor- ror, was surreunded by her bridesmaids and relatives. Here and there were fair girls, lying prostrate and insensible from fright. Sobs and whispers were the only sounds to be heard. All was sadness and grief, Where joy and glee had reigned su- preme not twenty minutes before. -- Kan- sas City Bulletin. ---- a HOW A TRAIN CAME TO BE STOPPED.. The following car scene was taken from the notes of a jolly conductor on the Cen- { tral Railroad :-- " Is this/Palesiine Bridge" inquired a sleepy passenger as the: train | halted at a station a little east of that place. "" No," replied the conductor, who happened to be passing just then. On went the train, and when the next station was reached, the same inquisitive passen- ger started up and inquired a little louder than before. *'Is this Palentine Bridge!" "" No," shouted the conductor, with a lit- | tle harshness in his manner. On dashed the train and soon halted at station No. 3 | "Is this Palentine Bridge !" came with | certain emphasis from the same iiquisi- | tive seat. *' Now, see here," said the'con- | ductor, ** if you will keep quiet, I will tell for },quishing the lands along the route, but | | you when Palentine Bridge is- reached." ¢ 4 expects that Ontario, as 600 or 700 miles | With this assurance the sleepy and rather troublesome passenger quietly settled down | for an undisturbed nap.

The Chinainan "puts his od ina | pours hot water pon it, and han infusion off the leaves ; he never dreams of spoilisig the flavor with sugar oF. cream. The Japanesé triturates the Re ars put green tea, a little tansy and a he deal of sugar in a teapot, and fill it up. with boiling water. In Bokhara every, man carries a small bag of tea about him, to the booth-kéeper he patronizes, " who. * concocts the béverage for him. The Bok- hariot finds it as difficult to pass a tea- booth as our dram-drinkers do to go by a gin-palace. His breakfast beverage is Schittchi, that is, tea; flavored with milk, creams, or mutton-fat, in which bread is soaked. During the daytime sugarless green tea is drank with the accompani- ment of cakes and flour and mirtems suet. It is considered an 'inexcusable breach of * manners to cool the hot cup * of tea" with the breath ; but the diffigulty is overcome by supporting the right clbow in the left, hand and giving a circular movement fo + to the cup.. How long the tea takes to draw is calculated to a second ; and when the can is emptied, it is passed round a- mong the company for each tes drinker to take up as many leaves as can be held be- tween the thumb and finger-- the leaves being esteemed an especial dainty.

The mistress of the tent, placing a large kettle on the fire, wiped it carefully with a horse's tail, filled it with water, and threw in some tea and a little salt. When this was near boiling point, she tossed the tea: about with a brass ladle until the liquor became very brown, and then it was poured off i in- to another vessel. Cleansing the kettle as before, the woman set it again on the fire, in order to fry a paste of meal and fresh butter. Upon this the tea and some thick cream were then poured, the ladle put in- to' requisition, and, after a tinie, the whole taken off the fire and set aside fo cool. -- Half-pint wooden mugs were handed round, and the tea ladled into them, a tea .form- ing meat and dridk, and satisfying both hunger and thirst. However made, tea ler. --Chambe ers Journal, x tr KEEPING POULTRY in ORCHARDS. has yet to learn the full advantages of keeping poultry.
