' When I came back to life oaoa more, it was hours afterwards, I was Ijiag on my bed, and Mrs, Holland was 84ate«l by my eide. I believe that when I. was at last missed, she had come to look for me, aod had found me l)ing there and lifted me on to the bed. The whole house seemed very quiet â€" uni.aturally so, I thought tha great trouble which had come upon us had hashed it a« with the stillness of death. I looked at Mrs. Holland, and I saw that she waa crying. Then I remembeied everything in a moment, and 1 started to my feet. " Where is my father " I asked. " Does he know what has happened " "Ob, lie down asaio, dear Miss Cathie I" she sobbed. " DoiTt excite yourself.

"That is just like Herbeit," I anawered indi;.,nantly. " He is never of the slightest use ypon an emergency." Mrs, Holland did not reply. She was wipin^'away her tears, " \\ ho is Mr. Beresford " I asked her presently, after we bad both been silent for some moments. " He seems to know your father well," she answered.

But on the third day he wished me good-bye, and he went away. He said that he felt he ooold be of no fvther use to us, and that he must no longer neglect the btuineas which has brought him into our neigbboarhood. I felt when he had gone as if I had lost a friend. I must hasten over the tew events which followed his departure. The police did all that waa in their power, but in spite of all their efforts they could discover oo clue to the murderer of my sister Rose. No one had been observed near the house or garden during the whole of that long summer's day which ended so tragically for us. No motive could be asaigned for the deed. Roee, as far as we knew, had not an enem^ iu the world. "It must have been some poor wrecb whom her beauty bad driven mad," said Mrs. Holland to me in a confidential mo- ment. "Jealousy, Miss Cathie. Depend upon it, that was the cause." One discovery, it is true, the police who searched our garden did make. Hidden un- der a pile of dead leaves, in a remote comer of the plantation, they found the rifle with which the deed had been committed. But there their researches ended. There was oa c'ue to the owner of the gun it waa like twenty others in our neighbourhood. No man's rifle was missing, or, if it was, no one would ow n to the fact. tjb the matter ended by a large reward being ffered for the discover of the murder- er, and by my father's health beginning to suffer severely frem his chattered nerves. We laid Rose quietly to rest in a shelter- ed valley near the sta. There she sleeps near the roar of the great ocean waves. The everlaating mountains, in the shadow of which she djed, look down solemnly upon her reating-pUioe and there 1 can stand calmly now, and remember that her troubles are orer, and her happiness begun for ever- more. " Nor shall the thoughts of thee depart. Nor shall my eonl regret resign, Till mem'ry perish, till this heart Be oold and motionless as thme." [TO BB OOmKCED.] » • • Mr. Parnell. One of Ireland's greatest curses has al- ways been load-mouthed and hollow-hearted demagoguea, mere talkers, who, simply for their own individual ends it may be, seek to rouse the people by harping on the old old story of their wrongs. Wrongs, of ccnrse, Ireland has had. Ever s'ifce the conquest of that island there has been much to com- plain of, and many things very far from creditable to a free. Christian and enlighten- ted oouitry such as England. Bat how cornea it, one may aak, that all these " wrongs, "or the great bulk of them at any rate, are to be ^und towards the Sontb,- At the North people seem to get along pretty Euch in the aame way as other folks, and to do very well without such sgitators as Pamell. If all Ireland's friends are of that stamp, Ihen may Heaven preserve and help^er. If Mr. Pamell and his followers are typical specimens of the average Irishman, then it goes almost with- out saying that they are aa yet totally unfit for self-government. They have yet to learn the very first principles of that science. They are yet bat as children, tossed to and fro- and have need that men teaeh them the rudi- ments of what they would fain persuade themselves, haa reached the highest culm i nation with themselves. As haa been well said, "there is a certain degree of dignity in a prond protest against oppression, and rebellion frequently com- mands respect, but Mr, Parnell's party pre- sents itself alternately as a beggar and a bully, and does not sppear to advantage iu either character." There never was a time in the whole history of the United Kingdom, when English states- men were more unfeignedly snxioas to do every justice to Ireland, to put a stop to the mighty abtises which undoubtedly exist, and to do every thing in their power to give these unhappy people as fair a cnance as they can possibly have. Bnt that paragraph from the New Vork Timei, undoubtedly hits off the very character of these present wculd-be- reformers, ar.d how is' it possible that any government, be it ever so willing, can urge measures of redress with any chance of suc- ceeding when demagogues like PameU have captured the popular ear. Here are some of hat worthy's oracular utterances. At New- ICoes, speakioij of the Boyd murder, he said. " I wish to point 'lUt that a recourse to such methods of procedure is • ntirely unnecessary and absolutely prejudicial, when there is suitable orgauisatioo among tenants."

Royalty in all its variotu manifestations is quite a heavy; enough bur- den for the ordinary taxpayer, and he is thinking very seriously indeed, that a little judicious eooDomy woald not be a bad thing in more ways than one. One thing at least can be ssid of the English people, and that ia, that they have never invf sted much mon- ey ia penaioiung' literary and scieatifio men, whatever they may have done with their soldiers. Poets, philosophers, statesmen ev- en, scientific men, travellers, inventors, men who have done and dared more for the En- glish nation and the hamar race, than any cooqaeror of them all, hare been allowed to, die in poverty, obscurity, and neglect, â€" but leaders of annies I well they are mors like theroast beef and dnmpling, aomethii^ that the average E^^Iisbman can a{ least under- stand. T^e widow of Sir John Franklin received a pension of one hundred pounds, a yearorso. 'Tbenameof Livingstone was honor- ed by some trifle, rqually paltry, and iqual- ly well deserved. But t^ese, and cases like these are exceptional only too f requi ntly the greatest, and most gifted of Englisbmeo, have been left without other approval than their own, and the hope of justice from fu- ture generations. If less attention were paid to the mere accident of birth, more might be done for the draeiviog. It is get- ing more difficult every year to prrsaade men to live contentedly in poverty, while other men, without merit of their own, are clothed in (urple and fine linen, and, while extravagance is so rife as it is to-day. The state of things is of course, to a certain ex- tent unavoidable, bnt at least the greatest care should be taken not to aggravate, what may be so far a necessary evil, or rather not an evil, bat an unavoidable consequence, if men are to make money, and inherit money at all.

THE Ki«G accrwn thx stoiiThin-g of ex CBEUixa rra constitdtiokai, poweks. (From the Paris Francaise.) Not long ago I wrote to you about the constitatiocal conflict between the Storthing and the Crown on the subject of the attend- ance of ilinisters at the debates in the Na- tional Legislatare. This conflict is not the only one. A second has arisen whieb seems lik^y to reach irritating frpportions.' At the close of the recent seasion, several pro jects for the reorganization of the army, which had been referred to Military Com- misaion, were still incomplete. At one of its last sittings, that of June 19, the Storth- ing authorized the Commission to sit after the adjouromeat; and uatil the beginning of the next session. Upon the advice of the Norwegian Minis- ters, the King refused, on August 18, to sacction this action, declaring that it was impossible for him to acquiesce in the intro- duction of a practice by virtue of which the Stoi thing could empower a certain number of its members to sit and deliberate in the intervals of the sessions under the name of a committee. The royal decree sets forth that, " in naming a Parliamentary Commis- sion of this natore, the Storthing committed a trespass upon the domain of the Execn- five' and usurped administrative functions not belonging to it. Furthermore, in au- thorizing one of its committees to work out- side of the sessions, it exceeded its powers in another way, notably by extending the duration of its sessions beyond the teim fixed by the Constitution that is to say, beyond two montha." Moreover, "a com- mission constituted as this one is [three military men, two of whom are very advanc- ed members of the Opposition] does not offer the necessary guarantee that the projectii, several of which have not even bsen xamin- ed by the Government, will be subjected to a sufficiently intelligent and impartial study." It was this last consideratioo, evidently, that decided the Kiiig, for he immediately proposed a royal commission, to be c impos- ed of the three members ot the Parliamen- tary Committee and three new and compe- tent members to be ramed by the Crown, It is clear that this pro' osition will have to be ratified by the Stortbing, which must de- cide whether or not to permit its members to sit on this new Commission, At this mo- ment it is announced that the President of the Storthing, who is alao the Preaident of the Military Commission, has called a meet- ing of the latter. Naturally this step is re- presented by the Ministerial press at^a grave insult to the sovereisn.

Financially it was thought that it could nsver be made a aiioosss, It waa all very well it was contended, so long aa Mr. Pun- shon preaohed in it, with greater or less reg- ularity. The power and popularity of thitt distinguished gentleman were acknowledged to be quite sufficient to fill any church, how- ever large, and to pay for any one, however expeosivjt. Bat then, what was to be ex- pected when he should leave or die? Finan- cial embarrassment and ultimately, humiliat- ing failure. That a native Canadian could uBsooeesafully step into the gap wss thoaght too absnrato be serioasly discussed. These were too really rough and uneducat- ed to successfally come after the great man and preacher, whom more than mere Method- iem delighted to honour. The actual sub- sequent facts have shown that all these fears and proceedings were groundless. Pnnshon camo out to marry a wife whom he could notlegally wed in Eogland,andDo soon- er had got rid of tbisapparent encumbrance, by death, than he again made tracks for home, and very speedily forgot his sorrow in ano- ther spouse. Some thought that the haste made to get off was scarcely decent, and waa anything out respectful to his departed wife. Others trembled " r the Metropolitan ark, and wished that the great man could stay, till things were in a somewhat better shape. Go, however, he must, aod ro he went, " bag and baggue" for good, and all after the de- ceased jnTe's sister episode had been brought /to its somewhat sorrowful conclu- sion, yfhtkt was to bs done to supply the great man's lack of service, aud build wisely and socoeasfully on the foundation tbat had been WiT The Methodists are shrewd, wise people, though they do shout some' times with-ao w s ee assry vehemence at camp meetin|p, aod fall conveniently from grace when a ilialby dodge hssto be put tbroagh. Let it be aaid, at auy rate, that they keep a keen eye upon any of the more likely of their yooag men. They know the import- ance of haTing continaal relaya of fresh, active, and pions preaohaisk Their cause could not otherwise live, mncfa leas flourish. And they are not afraid to put yiang men forward when they are found to be of the right stuff. It is all very well to talk of ' pets' in the Methodist Ministry, snd of son-.e being unduly poshed forward, and others as being unfairly kept back. We don't believe there is much in all this. ** The ener- getic and able, will, generally, under this popular system, come to the front, and those who ultimately don't, may draw what con- clusions they please from that fact. When the hour of necessity struck with the Metro- politan people, the man was ready. John Potts bas a name neither very eu- phonious nor very romantic. It is decidedly plebeian, and intimates, we fear, in a vtry unmistakable manner that there is not much " blue blcod" running in the veins of this sturdy Methodist. The incidents in his his- tory are neither many nor startling, so that it would be aa difficult as possible, even in the e days of terrible book marking, to con- struct a decently sized volume with the re* cord either of what he has said, or what he has done. Starting in a very humble mercantile sphere, we believe, in Hamilton, young Potts was very toon kindly taken in hand by one of Hamilton's most respectable and open handed citizens, and through the inkUumentality of that gentleman was in due time fairly started as an itineiant preacher. That Mr. Potts was at first but poorly equipped for his work may go without saying. His opportunities had ^en few, "and the course of^ instraction tbroagh which he paased was comparatively meagre. To learning, in the proper sense of that term, he has never made any preten- sions, and it is just as well, for learned he is not. He knows, however, bis /orU, and has from the first diligently cultivated it. He is a preacher, if he is anything, aod to make himself a sncoess in this line has been the object of his most strennoas and sustained endeavoara. He has thought and spoken of, perhaps even dreamed about, sermons and the best way of preparing them, for many years past. He knows tliat all honest and intelligent labour eventually tells, and so, when called upon to occupy the Metropoli- tan polpit as successor to Dr. Panshon, he was foond ^uite eoual to tha labour, and unite deserving of the^onour. The cause nourished more than ever, Pnnshon waa not miased, for Potts reigned and ruled in his stead. It ooold scarcely be said that, with his installation as occupant of the chief Methadiat palpit of Toronta, the reputation of tha' Dootor bagiii. He had beec previoas- ly well-known, bnt henceforth be became a power in the ooimtry, and has continued to be so ever since. His eecond term in this cbai;ge, has not been so brilliant aa the first, and li is saying nothing bat what is notori- ous, to affirm that he has little or no chance of a "third term," It would be difficult to intimate wherein Dr.. Potts' strnagth and attractiveness Ue. He has no briiliaot and poetical flights, like his friend and neighbour Briggs, he has not the peluh of either of the Huattn., and for rugged strt.iigth and general vigour of thought and expressioii, he can't be placed on the same plane with either Dr. Dewart, or the Mission Secretary.

Are there means taken to make it pleasant with those who could make them the reverse Nobody seems to know, but this at any rate is plain, that the Street llailway folks in this city can do with perfect sifcty, what in auy other place would raise a big row, and lead to a very great change of conduct on the part of the officials, high and low. Aa it is, the conductors and drivers can be as sai cy aa they please can pack as many into their miserable vehicles as can find an i: ch to stand upon, and can abase horses to their hearts' contient and nobody says a word. One never can make out how it happena, but thai it does, is beyond all qu.stion. Be this or be that the case, the whole affair pays splendidly, and tbo owners, if they ph ased, could afford to make things smart, and inaiat upon there being reasonable loads and civil conduct every day, and all the day loog. Didn't I say I bad a mind to go and nSTERVirW CAFT, PRINCE and the other officials at the Central Prison Well I made another attempt, and in order to screw my courage to the sticking point, I went in just to liave a chat with Mr. Donaldson the Emi^ratio:: Agent. He's a a pleasant intelligent man, bat he knows it equally well, and w hen he thinks it worth while, he can blarney people at a great r^te.' He did not know V-%* 1 was the correspon- dent of TRirrii Perhaps if he had, het would not b^tve b^en quite so commuuica tive. I am not the man, however, to beti ay confidence, ai-d what I learned there, I shaU keep religioiuly to mysiilf till I can make use of it to advantage without hurting any- body's feelings, or compromising any of the officials. After my experience with Mr. Donaldson I went Ixildly into the prison asd discussed the whole situation with the Cap- tain. Now, you may believe the Captain, when taken in the right way and at the right time is a pleasant gentlemanly fellow, HI M A UTTLE DCNDRKARTtSH of course, and some ill-natured people woald say that his e^es are, if anything, somewhat sodden. But the World is too hard upon him, though 1 doubt if the Captain had not been his father's son, whether he would have been where he it tc-Jay. But who would be just exactly in their present posi- tions but for some such accident Even I myself might not exactly be what I am had the "old man" not left me that cash which I never could have earned, aud secured for me friends that poeaibly I could never have made. Let anytody look over the. public men in this city. How have they como to be what they are Merit Heaven help them, in many oases, no. Influence, influ- ence, that's the thing EVEN SOME THAT ARE ALDERMEN might have been differeut,bad everybody got his due. By the way, speaking of Alder- men, is it not about time these gentlemen were palling up and behaving themselves? The elections will soon be here, and they had better try to furbish op a little bit of character for economy and common aense I know if I were one I should. And I am i^ways telling them this, but they won't listen. They are continually making rules only to break them, and m many ways they are far from piudent. Gentlemeu, gentle- men,! say to them, re.mi mter it is getting on in October, and as Buzfuz would phrase it " You must be careful. " Of eoaxae, I make it a point to attend at ' 00I7NCIL MEKTINOH, and generally button-hole the members as much as possible. It is quite wonderful how wise they are, at least a good many of them, wise in their own conceit, as I say, when they are in a jocular humour, and will stand some nonsense. I thought once of giving pen-and-ink sketches of the whole lot, bnt my space is exhaasted, and it would be unfair to bring any of them in at the fag ehd of a letter. There, now, what a goodly man the Mayor is. I like hia. I sotoally do, aud since he became Member aa well as Mayor, my liking haa risen to positive af- fection.
