There's love just as true in the Marquisof Lorne, True, no title of prince flashes front of his name, Sterling honor, untarnished, is equal the same.

WILLIAM TELFORD. Smith, March 30th, 1871. Selections. "I CANNOT AFFORD IT" Mr, St. John 'entered the fashionable dry goods store of Lovering & Brothers, to see one of the proprietors. ' He had stepped out for a moment," one of the clerks informed him. And withdrawing to an obscure corner he stood watching, with a half-amused ex- pression upon his handsome face, the streams of gaily attired women that float- ed past him, gazing with envious and ad- miring eyes upon the rich fabrics of every hue and texture that were suspended from the ceilings and spread out upon the coun- ters. : Many of them were known to him, but he was in no mood to meet the sparkling glances and gay sallies that he knew would be showered upon him if he made them aware of his presence; for Mr. St. John was a rich bachelor and had been so flat- tered and besieged by mammas with mar- riageable daughters as to make him almost resolve to remain one always. So he stood back in the . shadow, mark- ing with curious eye unsconcious betrayals of the natural dispositions, like glimpses of feminine human nature, and which the dear creatures would not have had him ob- serve for the world. As he stood there the two Misses Park- er came in, charming and brilliant girls, in' whose society he had passed many a pleasant hour, They were lavished in their purchases. And as Mr. St. John contrasted the care worn face of their father, whom he met in the street, an hour before, hurrying from one friend to another to borrow money to pay a note on the point of being protested, their lively chatter jarred harshly in his ears. Isn't it lovely:" exclaimed one of the sisters, holding up some costly lace trim- mings. "I suppose pa will scold when he sees the bill, but so he would if it were only half as large." "To be sure he would," responded the other. "And I'm net going to let the Dayton girls outshine me, you may be cer- tain. - It's my belief they give the party simply on account of St. John's return from Europe. I suppose they are trying to catch him for Georgiana. Did you ever hear anything so ridiculous?" ; "Never! Such horrid taste as the girl has in dress, too! She shewed me the new silk she is going to wear. Would you believe it! It is blue! . And she is dark as an Indian. ""That is for the benefit of Mr. St.John; it is his favorite color. I'met him on the street yesterday. How tall and handsome he Kas grown!" "Yes, he's sorich! Pa says he is worth half a million if not more." Here the girls passed along out of sight and hearing, quite unconscious of the proximity of the subject of their remarks. .-*" Good heavens!" was Mr. St. John's inward reflection; "are all women so heartless, so wrapped up in vanity and display?" Ho wap about to quit the store in dis- gust when his attention was arrested by a low and pleasant voice which roused a host of vague and gentle reflections. He turn- ed and looked in the direction whence it proceeded, and as his eyes rested upon a slender, neatly attired lady, thiey lighted up 'with pleasure. Any woman would Reve noticed that the i, Gogh ent sid pul won vo of | pi Ea pe which no rank can" the latest style, and the mantle was of las season's fashion; but men rarely observe such things. = All that St. John saw was the graceful form of the wearer. "Sweet Rose Lennox," he thought. "" She looks as lovely and as fragrant as her name. Can her fresh and guileless na- ture be so perverted as t» care for nothing but outward show!" In the meantime Rose made afew sim- ple purchases, quite unconscious of the eyes that. were following her every look and motion. 'Is that all, Miss Lennox?" clerk. "All, to-day." "If you were thinking of getting a dress, I can shew you something to suit you." "As 1 trouble you.' "No trouble at all, Miss, said the clerk, unrolling the goods and spreading it upon the counter. It was a heavy lustrous silk --brown, with a glint of gold in it, not 'unlike the asked the cannot purchase,<d will not head. » color of the soft hair that shaded her = « to be at Mrs, Dayton's thin o evening." "" Shall I tell you why I did not go!" in- quired Mr. St. John, as he took a seat by her side. s The cheeks of Rose grew as red beneath that earnest gaze as the flowers from which she was named. "I was just thinking about you, and wishing I could thank you for the kindly office you performed for my dear father. "I am going tb ask him to perform for me a more kindly one; to give to my keep- ing thebrightest and sweetest rose that ever bloomed. When he asks me what your wish is, oh, Rose,--if 1 could only say my Rose--what shall I tell him!" What Rose told him could be easily in- ferred by any one who looked in upon the two a few minutes later, and saw how qui the head of Bose reposed on St. John's shoulder, as though it was themiost natural resting place it could find, Rose was as modest as she was lovely. "1 don't see how you came to choose me, Paul 8t. John, when surrounded by 80 many stylish and brilliant women? * Who would so gladly do their best to lissipate my fine fortune," returned Paul It caught the eye of the Parker girls | St. John, laughing. who were passing and tliey gathered eager- ly found it. "It's just the sweetest I ever saw !"Vex- claimed the eldest enthusiastically. -- " Why don't. you get it, Rose' You have nothing for the party next Thursday, and it is just what you want." "Only four dollars a yard," folds, so as to display its lustre and | beauty. There was not the slightest touch of en- vy or regret in the soft blue eyes that rest- | ed admiringly upon it. '""Itis very pretty and quite reasonable | **" too, but I cannot afford it.' These words were spoken with such en- tire unconsciousness that she was admit- ting anything painful or humiliating, that | with the wonder it aroused in the hearts of her companions, was mingled an in- voluntary respect; though it was conduct | they could not have imitated, and but vaguely comprehended. St. John made inquiries in regard to Mr. Lennox next day, and learned that he sustained some heavy losses but was still supposed to be doing a very good busi- ness. Presuming on former acquaintance he | resolved to call at his house. Despite the adulation he had received | and his own really fine personal advanta- | ges, St. John was no coxcomb, and well | knew that with a girl like Rose Lennox,' ho must stand on his individual merits. So, not venturing to call for her who was uppermost in his thoughts he was shown into the family sitting room, where Mr. and Mrs. Lennox sat %ith their eldest | children. Rose was among themgand the blush | that monnted to her: cheek, the bright smile that she gave him when their eyes | met, spoke a warmér welcome than even her father's extended hand and cordial | greeting, Having testified by looks rather than | words, her pleasure at seeing him, left the entertainment of their guest to | her parents. And, disappointed as St. John was, he ceuld not but admire her utter unconsciousness that his visit was intended for her,-and absence of all de- sire to attract his notice. As he conversed with her father, his' eyes wandered to the place where she sat sewing, noting every expression of the pure young face, even to the quivers of the golden brown lashes that shaded the | rose-tinted cheek, especially to the sweet, | womanly charm of her low quiet tones and gentle movements. The richest party robe never looked half so lovely as that simple home dress of | brown merino, worn with no ornament save a dainty ruffle at ghe wrist and throat. . "" You will be at Mrs. Dayton's to-mor- row evening!" he contrived to say as he took his leave. "No, I am not going." - ¢ A shade of disappointment crossed St. Johy's face, almost immediately followed by a| gleam of satisfaction as a happy thought struck him. The next evening Rose, was sitting in the parlor, quite by herself. 2 1 mother was up stairs with the other children, and her father preparing to go out. Mr. Lennox looked in upon her a mo- | ment as he passed through the hall. "" Do you regret your decision in rogard | to the party, my daughter?" '"No, indeed, papa," returned Rose | smiling brightly into the careworn face. Mr. Lennox laid his hand lovingly upon her head. "My blessing! if I pass successfully | through this crisis it will be owing to the strength you have given me." ** Are things looking any brighter papa!" | '" A great deal brighter, my child. You | know I told you I could retrieve my losses | if I had time. Mr. Hart, my principal | creditor, has offered to give mesix months. It was owing to something that Mr. St. John said to him. young man. Ged bless him The heart of Rose echoed this wish as her father hurried away. For the first time regrets wingled with her thoughts as they reverted to the gay gathering from which she-had been debarred. "I suppose he will be there," she mur- mured. "A gentleman to see Miss Rose," said Kitty, opening the door. _ Rose lifted her eyes, and the object of her thoughts stood before her. "Not sorry to see me, 1 hope!" said Mr. 8t. John, taking her unresistingly in his arms. "Borry!" Roseturned her eyes round that he might se¢ how softly radiant they were. "Oh, no," she faltered; "Y--I was only suggested | the clerk, gathering up the silk in heavy | | when nearly agphundred years old.

There is a way of putting things that is | very forcible and convincing. Here is a very good irfstance: Mr. Taylor, of -Bir- | mingham, the founder of freehold4and so- | cietiés, in an address to vorking men, id: "I persuade h man to* keep sober. I tell him with every quart he consumes | twenty-five bricks. 1 show him how, in the course of two years, at one quart a | day, he swallows as many bricks as would | make a nice cottage. My grandfather died He | lived in a house nearly eighty years, and | at the time of his death he had not so muchas a brick ora chimney-pot,although | he had paid rent all 'his life.' Now, had he belonged to abuilding society hisgrand- | son might have been better off than he | now is. Thaye said that a quart of ale is | | equal to twenty-five bricks, and a paper of | tobacco is the mortar to lay them with. | There they ard, the twenty-five bricks and the mortar, going from many a man's | pocket over the public counter every day. In | Birmingham we have Bought freehold land | at the rate of 1s. 4d: per yard--two.quarts | Such men will never be freeholders. * | of ale and a paper of tobacco exactly! I remember some time ago telling the coal- statement that Mr. Hugh Allan has con- tracted for carrying the mails' between Halifax and Liverpool, speaks of the en- terprise with which Mr. Allan has built up | his line of steamers, and the efforts he * is making to attract the trade of the' west through the St. Lawrence. The Times adds : He is said to aim at "establishing a line of steamers between Halifax and Liverpool before the Intercolonial Railroad is completed, with the view of controlling few years bétween those ports. * It is said that by taking the Intercolonial Railroad to Halifax; %wo days' time will be saved between New York and Liverpool. If the opening of the road, which is promised next fall, finds Mr. Allan with "a well established line of fast, comfortable and safe steamers, he will be a powerful rival to the other ocean steamship lines sailing Iptween this country and England. There is no fact more creditable to the intelli- gence and activity of Canadians than the great development of our ocean com- merce ; and it:will not be long before-New York will realize the immense strides that have been niade by this country in the effort to secure its share of that western trade which has enviclred the metropolis. 1 TREATY OF no treaty, reciprocity or no reciprocity the Eastern States will soon be compelled to come to Canada-for their supplies of lumber. The Maine forests are becoming exhausted. The Portland Press says : " Those familiar with the con- dition of the timber lands of Maine, and conversant with the reckless waste that has always characterized lumbering oper- ations in Maine, will not hesitate to state that the next generation will speak of the lumber business in the past tense." All that can be obtained between the Missis- | sippi and the Rocky Mountains will not more than supply the demand of the West- ern States, while the fopests of Colorado and California are. too remote for the Eastqm market, which will have to re- ceive its chief supplies from the immense forests of the Ottawa and St. valleys. Two vessels are unloading steel rails at Montreal from Barrow, England, for the Grand Trunk ay.

CANADIAN CortoN.--By the courtesy of Sheriff McEwan, the Windsor Record has been shown large and beautiful balls of cotton/ grown last season by T. C. McCor- mick, Esq., on th old family homestead, north of Pelee Island. The plant from which the specimens were taken yielded 20 well filled pods. Colored people accus- tomed to labor in the cotton fields of the South pronounce the specimens of first- class quality and quantity--equal to the best Louisiana. If this prove correct, and we have no reason to doubt it, then the fact will be established that the precious fibre may be produced abundagfly in thi® latitude, as last season was no mere pro- pitious for the cotton plant than average years. TrADESMEN WANTED IN MANITOBA. ---A Red River correspondent of the Montreal Witness says there is a good opening there for tradesmen, especially tailors, shoe: makers, tanners, blacksmiths, and waggon- makers. There is a growing desire for English shoes among the people. Com- mon stoga boots sell now at 16s., and the fashionable tailor just arrived from the States charges £3 for making a suit. Of course, the high price obtained for the above-mentioned labor is because there are so few to do the work. A few good tan} neries are very much needed in the 'coun- try, also a carding-mill and small woollen factory, A portable steam' saw mill would pay very well, as there is only one yet in the settlement, which cannot supply any- thing like the amount of lumber needed. Match, soap, pail, and broom factoties would also pay well, and « person who un- derstands salt making, could build up a large business, there being splendid salt springs in various parts of the country, and the salt made by the half-breeds sells at 10s. per bushel. In these and many other things the capitalists of Canada would find profitable investments for their money, SaNpFIELD As HAMLET, The Hamilton Times has anew version of soliloquy : --To be, or not to bel--i question.

TaiLs.--A curious case was tried at the - | Division Court at Cataraqui on Saturday week last. One farmer sued another farm- er for ®amages, laid "at 810, done to his | horses' tails. The plaintiff had three horses at pasture, and in his pasture he had permitted his neighbor's calf to feed. The calf ate off the tails of the three horses: The owner of the calf knew its propensity, for it had previously eaten the tail off his own horse. The Judge at once allowed the amount claimed, and expressed the opinion that the d d was very mod- erate, News, Microscopie Woxpers, --Lewenboeck tells us of an inséct seen with the micro- scope, of which twenty-seven million would | only equal a mite. - various '| kinds may be seen in the ca! of a grain | of sand.

Each leaf has a colony of insects grazing on it, like cows on a meadow. : ; JEALousY isa dangerous quality to get along with, but it produces a good" deal of the excitment which keeps people alive,and not unfrequently gives rise to some ra- ther ludicrous scenes: A lady in Virginia who was subject to this unpleasant malady lately returned home, after a short absence, and took the tion to r itre thro' the key hole before entering her room, when shesaw her husband tenderly adjust a shawl upon the shoulders of 3 woman. Here was '¢ confirmation strong as proofs of holy writ' that all had not been right in her absence. She procured a shotgun from an adjoining = room,suddenly opened thedoor,and lodged the deadly charge in the back of--a dum my which her husband deals,in dry goods, had brought home in order to put it inre- pair during the lonely hours of his wife's . absence. After this incident it wasstillmore iu need of repair, but the woman's mind was in, a more healthy condition than before. A Canadian emigrant to Kansas, Mr. H. 8. Young, writes his opinion of that country to the Mitchell Advocate in the following letter: --" My calm impressions of the United . States of America are un- favorable. The whole place appears to me inferior to the British Dominions--both morally and politically. - The people, their habits and their talk, are vain, sordid, 1, and bl h us. If one h to bring himself up among inferior .mong- rels, where there is neither refinement nor. civilization, properly speaking, and to carve a future home for his posterity, such a one may find plenty of opportunities -in these Western wilds. Good land may be had from $10 per acre, upwards... Two or three hundred miles west of the Missouri river land may be had for a song; but others that I know not of. | hafore I shuffle off my country's coil, 1 may find the men my purse is heir to. rer of principle defile us all. Mz. Kerner, a lawyer at Leavenworth, ner addressed the jury for fifteen minutes, case to pass upon. jn five minutes returned, giving Mrs. fixed the business. ET ---- TJ If so be, what care I then ? Thus Hoes want sued Mrs. Johnson for 860 worth of foes as attorney in a previous case. Mr. Ket wien Mrs. Johnson, saying that she had no money to pay a Jawyer, was obliged to plead her own case; she also said she was not afraid to trust her cause with a jury composed of men who looked so honest and gentlemanly as those who had this Then she told her sto- ry, beamed upon the retiring jury, who Johnson a verdict and a bouquet. ; Her al- lusion to the good - looks of the jurors then taxation--everything is very heavily taxed. A Mr. Waller, my next neighbor, has forty acres of ground, - small house, a pig or two, a few chickens, and three poor horses ; per annum. The | necessaries of life gre highly taxed too. I may be wrong; but it-appears to me that the . Dominion of Canada is superior in every respect-to Uncle Sam's country. The general surface of Kansas is a hilly prairie. Storms are frequent and fearful in syai- mer time. The mercury falls in winter fo . 25 below zero and rises to above 100 in summer shade. The winds are lightning and thunder appalling, accomi- panied by terrific rain. - The few children there appear never to laugh, play or sing. The women look old, careworn, mock- modest, and proud, and pride themselve = n fine aprons and sunbonvets." .
