The wont ia rough and hard, and they get out of humour with itt and leave it to £eir 4ired hefpa, and then all goer wrong.

I tell you what it is, mister â€" I give you jost three yean to spend your money and min your- self and then you will besome a confirmed drunkard, like the rest." The first jMrt of her prophecy was omy too true. Thank God I the last haa never been fulfilled, and never can be. Perceiving that the old woman was not a little elated with her bargain, Mr. urged upon her the propriety of barring the dower. At first, she was outrageoos, and very abusive, and rejected all his proposals with contempt; vowing that she would meet him in a certain place below, before she would sign away her right to the pro- perty. " Listen to reason, Mrs. R " said the land speculator. ' "If yon will sign the papers before the authorities, the next time that your son drives you to Câ€" I will give you a silk gown." " Pshaw 1 Buy a shroud fmr yourself you will need it before I want a silk gown," was the ungracious reply. " Consider, woman a black silk of the best quality." " To mourn in for my sins, or for the loss of the farm." "Twelve yards," continued Mr. without noticing her rejoinder, " at a dollar a yard. Think what a nice church-going gown it will make." " To the devil with yon I I never go to church." " I thought as much," said Mr winking to us. " Well, my dear madam, what tnll satisfy yon T" " 111 do it for twenty dollars," returned the old woman, rocking herself to and fro in her chair her eyes twinkling, and her hands moWng convulsively, as if she already grasped the money so dear to her souL "Agreed," said the land speculator.

I was so busy thac I did not peroeire that I was watched by the cold, heavy,dark eyes of Mrs. Joe, who, with a sneering laueh, exclaimed, "Weill I am glad to see you brought to work at last. Ihope yoa may have to work as hard as I have. I don't see, not I, why you, who are no better than me, should sit all day like a lady 1*' ,--»â- Â«â- â-  â€" as we Quitted the house th«n, turning to me, he added, with a peculiar smUe, "That's a devilish smart woman. She would have nude a clever lawyer." Monday came, and with it all the bustle of moving, and, as is generally the case on such occasions, it turned out a very wet day. I left old Satan's hut without i egret, glad, at any rate, to be in a place of my own, however humble. Oar new habitation, though small, had a decided advantage over the one we were leaving. It stood on a gentle slope and a narrow but lovely stream, full of speckled trout, ran murmuring under the little window ^e house, also, was sur- rounded by fine fruit-trees. I know not how it was, but the sound of that tinkling brook, forever rolling by, filled my heart with a strange melancholy, which for many nights deprived me of rest. I loved it, too. The voice of waters, in the stillness of ntccht, always, had an extraordin- ary effect upon my mind. Their ceaseless motion and perpetual sound convey to me the idea of lifeâ€" eternal life and looking upon them, glancing and flashing on, now in sunshine, now in shade, now hoarsely chiding with the opposing rock, now leaping triumphantly over it, â€" creates within me a feeling of mysterious awe of which I never could wholly divest myself. A portion of my own spirit seemed to pass into that little stream. In its deep wailings and fretful sighs, I fancied myself lamenting for the land I had left forever and its restless impetuous rashiogs against the stones which shoked its passage, were mournful types of my own mental struggles against the strange destiny which hemmed me in. Through the day the stream moaned and travelled 00, â€" but engaged in my novel and distasteful occupations, I heard it not but whenever my winged thoughts flew homeward, then the voice of the brook spoke deeply and sadly to my heart, and my tears flowed unchecked to its plaintive and harmonious music. In a few hours I had my new abode more comfortably arranged than the old one, al- though its dimensions were much smaller. The location was beautiful, and I was greatly consoled by this circumstance. The aspect of Nature ever did, and I hope ever will continue, "To choot marrellcnB strerKth into my h(ait." As long as we remain true to the Divine Mother, so long will she remain faithful to her suffering children. At that period my love for Canada was a feeling very nearly allied to that which the condemned crimiiuJ entertains for his cell â€" his only hope of escape being through the portals of uie grave. The fall rains had commenced. In a few days the cold wintry showers swept all the Horgeous crimson from the trees and a bleak and desolate waste presented itself to the shuddering spectator. But, in spite of wind and rain, my little tenement was never free from the intrusion of Uncle Joe's wife and chfldren. Theii house stood about a stone's-throwfrom thehnt we occupied, in the same meadow, and they seemed to look upon it still as their own, although we had literally paid for it twice over. Fine strap- pug girls they were, from five years old to lonrteen, bat rude and unnurtured as co many bears. They would come in without the least ceremony, and, young as they were, ask me a thousand imperttueat quee- tiona and when I civilly requested them to leave the room, Hiey wonli najtm Uiem- â- elvea upod the dow-step, watoning my tpotiomi, with their black eyes gleaming wton me through their tanj^, â- ocombed^ IoAb. Their company was agreat' smioyaDoe, for it obliged me to put a painful rastoaint upmi tiie tiion^tfolness in whudi it was so de- lightful to ma to indulge.

If yon took it into your head to lie in bed all day, I should never trouble myself about it." " Ah, I guess yon don't look upon us as fellow critters, you are so proud and grand. I s'pose you Britishers are not made of flesh and blood, like us. You don't choose to sit down at meat with your helps. Nbw, I calculate, we think them a great deal better nor you." "Of course,^ said I, "they are more suitable to you than we are they are nn- edncated, and so are you. This is no fault in either but it might teach you to pay a little more respect t0| those who are pos- sessed of superior advantages. But, R my helps, as you call thehi, are civil and obliging, and never make unprovoked and malicious speeches. If they could so far forget themselves, I should order them to leave the house." " Oh I see what you are up to," replied the insolent dame " you mean to say that if I were your help, yon would turn me out of your house but I'm a freebom American, and I won't go at your bidding. Don't think I came here ont of regard to you. No, I hate yon all and I rejoice to see you at the wash-tub, and I wish tliat yon may be brought down upon ycur knees to scrub the floors." This speech only caused a smile, and yet I felt hurt and asttmished that a woman whom I had never done anything to cffend should be so gratuitously spiteful. In the evening she sent ^0 of her brood over to borrow my " long iron" as she called an Italian iron. I was just getting my baby to sleep, sitting upon a low stool by the fire. I pointed to t£e iron upon the shelf, and told the girl to take it. She did so, but stood beside me, holding it carelessly in her hand, and staring at the baby, who had just stmk into sleep upon my lap. The next moment the heavy iron fell from her relaxed grasp, giving me a severe blow upon my knee and toot and glanced so near the child's head that it drew from me a cry of terror. "I guess that was niffh braining the child," quoth Miai Amanda, with the great- est; coolness, and without making the least apology. Master Ammon burst into aloud laugh. " If it had, Mandy, I eness we'd have cotohed it." Provoked at their insol- ence, I told them to leave the house. The tears were in my eyes, for I felt certain that had they injured the child, it would not have caused them the least regret. The next day, atf we were standing at the door, my husband was greatly amused by seeing fat Uncle Joe chasing the rebellions Ammon over the meadow in front of the house. Joe was out of breath, panting and puffins like a steam-engine, and his face flashed to deep red with excitement and fool he I I an bom. iva and die itnder tiMir __.^ me from my 01 oubWf-^^ittiir J*»ttiaii^oJ[hav» your kblea but wlut are tliqr to mfne ' cUmu „ « â- Â» -a-theoriitarfeopy.writjlBwhlWIiaBintroii 4aok a :pinth 4» Was, bffered me' doer ofmy ahaa^, and watohingr for the rttorn th^ box„s|aiis4 tml^^Ii hsBidkeromef from her hifl The sleigh-bells' distant ohime to Tlwjtfifrv slaigh-beUs witi^Mthftli Slisfr^MUUsa on the JsvenlBi hoilL Dfiig-cblB«, diag-dkig. whatrapto]^ ^e mualQ of ttoae joyom BeDs I ' *UtBT Ttisioas kare Mm glrm «K'(his It mum set to BlieslnWthe Bi^s*.

" )cou young scoundreU" he cried, half choked with fury, " if I catch up to you, I'll take the skin off you I" " You scoundrel, you may have my skin if^ yon can get at me," retorted the precocious child as he jamped| up upon the top of a high fence, and doubled his fist in a menacing manner at his father. "That boy is fi;rowing too bad," said Uncle Joe, coming up to us out of breath, perspiration streaming down hia'face. " It is time to break him in, or he'll get the master of us alL" " You should have begun that before," said Moodie. " He seems a hopeful pupil." " Oh, as to that, a little swearmg u man- ly," returned the father " I swear myself, I know, and as the old cock crows, so crows the young one. It is not his swearing that I care a pin for, but he will not do a thine I teU him to." 'â- Swearing ia a dreadful vice," said I, " and, wicked as it *is in the month of a grown-up person, it is perfectly shocking in a child it painfully tells he haa been brought up without the fear of God." " Pooh I pooh that's all cant there is no harm in a few oaths, and I cannot drive the horses without swearing. I daresay you can swear, too, when yon are riled, but you are too cunning to let us hear you." I could not he p langhmg outngbt at this roppooition, but replied very quietly, " Those who practise such iniquities never take any pains to conceal them. The con- cealment would infer a feeling of shame ana when people are conscious of their guilt, they are in the road to improvement." The man walked whistline away, uid the wicked child returned unpunuhed to his home. The next minute the old woman oame in. " I guess you can give me a piece of nlk for a hood"' said she, " the weather is growing considerable oold." " Surely it cannot well be colder than it is at present," said I, giving her the rock- ing-chair by the fire. " Wait a wbile you know nothing of a Canadian winter. 1^ is only November; after the Christmas thaw, yonll know some- thing about cold. It is seven-and-thirty years a^o since I and my man left the U-ni-ted States. It was called the year of tiie great winter.

We began looking about for a good spot to camp in. when I spied a light through the trees. It was a lone shanty, occupied by two French lumberers. The men were kind they rubbed our frozen limbs with snow, and shared with us their supper and buffalo skins. On that very spot where we camped that night, where we heard nothing but the wind soughin|; among the trees, and tbe. lushing of the river, now stands the great eity of Rochester. I went there two years ago, to the funeral of a brother. It seemed to me like a dream.

The old woman examinea it carefully over, smiled to herself, but, like all her people, was too proud te return a word of thanks. One gift to the family always in- volved another. " Have yon any cotton-batting, or black sewbg-bilk, to give me, to quilt it with " "No" " Humph I" returned the old dame, in a tone which seemed to contradict my asser- tion. She then settled herst If in her chair, and, after shaking her foot awhile, and fixing her pieroeiag eyes upon me for some minutes, she commenced the following list of interrogatories :â€" " Is your father alive " " No he died many years ago, when I was a young girl." "Is your mother alive?" "Yes.' " What is her name " I satisfied her on I this point. " Did she ever marry again V " She might have done so, but she loved her husband too well, and preferred living single." " Hnmph 1 We have no stfch notions here.

"I thought not; for the drop is always on your cheek, the children tell me and those young ones have keen eyea. Now, take my advice return while your money lasts; the longer you remain Canada the less you will like it and when your money is all spent, yon will be like a bird in a cage you may beat your wings against the bars bat you can't get int.

I hoped that my guest bad suf ticiently gratified her curiosity, when she again oommenced â€" " How do you get your money Do you draw it from the old country or have yon it with you in cash V "Provoked by her pertinacity, and seeing no end to her cross-qaestioning, I replied, very impatiently, "Mrs. B B]r]biubaiid.

Tbe tiirribla evil of insomnia has so many different souroes.that the utmost we oan hope from any single artifice is to afford relief; ftai^ it under one special form. I venture to think I have bit upon a plan which thnsremedieS a vary comnron) not an aggravated) kind of sleeplessness; and, with your permission, Will endeavor to make your readers who may. be fellow-spffereis sharers in my diacovery. It is now, I believe, generally accepted that oUr conscious dt^ylight thinking pro- oessen are carried en in the sinister half of dnr brainsâ€" 1. e., in the right lobe which controls the action of the right arm and leg. Pondering on the use of the dexter half of tke brain â€" possibly inall unconscious ce- rebration, and in whatsoever may be genuine of the mysteries of planchette and spirit- rapping â€" Icame to the c inclusion (shared no doubt by many other better qualified inqoirere) that we dream with this lobe, and that tbe fantastic, unmoral. Epritclike character of dreams b, in someway, teaceable to that fact. The practioil ii-feience then struck.me: to bring back sleep when lost we must qdiet the uooscious, thinking, sinister side of our brains, and bring incw activity only the dream side, the dxtor lobe. Te do this, the only plan I could devise waa to compel myself to put a»fde every waking thought, even Eoothintr and pleasant otTes, and every effort of daylight memory, such as eouniing numbers or the repetition of easy-flowing verses, the latter having Imcu my not wholly unsuccessful practice for many years. Instead of all this, I saw I must think of a dream, tbe more recent the better, and go over and over the sjene it presenteJ. Armed with thlis idea, the next time I found myself amkening at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, instead of merely trying to iMuiish painful thoughts and repeating, as was my habit, that recommen labia sopor- ii, " Paradise and the Peri." I reverted at once to the dream from which I had awak- ened, and tried to go on with it. In a mo ment I was asleep I And from that time the experiment, often repeated, has aoarsely ever failed. Not seldom the result is sud- den as the fall of a curtain, and seems like a charm. A friend to whom I have confid- ed my little discovery tells me that, with- ' out anv preliminary theorizing about the lobes of the brain, she had hit upon the same plan to produce sleep, and had found it ^cacions. I should be very glad to hear if other suf- ferers c»n obtain the precious boon in the same way. The evils of prolonged wakeful ness^ and of the drug-taking to which its victims are too often driven are alike so terrible that I make no apology for offer- ing my humble contribution of one more harmless remedy to obviate them.

The following incident is cited y Colonel Cookson, and is suggested as an explanation of this loss As I sat readu^ at a little table in front of one of the windows of my bungalow in India, my attention was attracted to a vio- lent fight taking place tetween two house lizurds upon the curtain. These creatures are about the size of newts. They live upon the walls and windows of hcuses. They find shelter In cracks and crevices, feeding upon flies, which they stealthily approach, and then suddenly pounce npan. The two lizurds took up their positions about a yard apart They then suddenly scampered forward at the same moment, like knights in a tournament of old, had a severe tussle when they met, and then sep- arated to the same distance apart as before, usually changing aides after each round. Again and again they rushed forward and closed, when at last in the stmnle one seiz ed the other by the tail, snappM a piece off, and scampered back in triumph to his cor- ner, with the portion of his mutilated adver- sary in his month. I think I shall never forget how dismal the defeated ]iz»rd looked with his stump from which the tail had been broken, as he sat looking on, while hii cannibal of an op- ponent positively ate the fragment up before hu eyes 1 From Bags to Wealth. The other day a leading solicitor received initmctions from London to hunt up a young man who bad quitted England ten years previously and a draftfor £300 was enclosed to pay hu passage home. After a course of advertising a member of a charitable society called in and directed the solieitor to a "*^° *»o^«l in Lower Alexander, Sydney. The solicitor, knowing the "lay" of the country judidoMly sent his olerk down to eaten the fever instead of doing it in person.
