Emily in poverty and turned out of her home. / Where lhen was she nowâ€"she and Harry in poverty-g in want perhaps. The thought went to his heart like a knife, and so shook his nature that he leant against the wall and groaned in agony. At the corner he encountered an old man coming from the opposite direction. Being brought up so close to one another, they were forced to look each other in the face, and at the same moment each ut- tered. an exclamation of amazed recognition. â€"Wfiere to seek her in that great city’ he,knew not. She might be illâ€":dryi‘ngâ€"‘dead ! This laEI fear was overwhelming, and starting {Orward he struck fran- tically down the street, not 'know- ing whither he was going or what he ought to do. ‘ Master \Valter !

The Happy New Year. “ Let Sound Reason weigh more with us than Popular Opinion.” RICHMOND HILL, FRIDAY, JULY 28. [865. For the Hérdla. £01k Zifitmlh, Emily uttered one wild shriek of joy. and then threw hetseli fainting on his bosom. Harry, too, cried rapturously ‘ Papa! papa !’ and caught him round the neck as he knelt with his beloved wife in‘ his embrace. ' Simon looked on with speech- less delight ; then he laughed and cried by turns; and he too thanked God for that happy New-Year, which had ended so much grief and distress, and brought such inde- scribable joy to those he loved. The first unspeakable burst of happiness over, mutual explana- tions and histories followed. Sit- ting side by side, and-holding each other’s hand, all the events of their long separation were narrated. Walter’s story was soon told. The ship of which he had been first mate was wrecked on its homeward voyage, and he, with the few who Were saved. were picked up by an American vessel, and taken to Ne w York. Here they were conveyed to one of the military prisons, pre- sented with a uniform, and told that they must become soldiers in the Federal army. This, of course, they indignantly refused, and were in consequence shut up in prison. On quitting’the wreck, Walter had secured his money about his person. It amounted to the value of sixty-five pounds, and this he entreated might be sent home to his wife. His captors proâ€" mised that it should, along with a letter which he Wrote, giving an account of his misfortunes. The. simple-minded sailor believed that both the money and letter had been sent, while in fact the latter went no further than the fire in the Go- ;vernor’s room, and the gold was thrown into the empty treasury of the State.- As Walter and the rest persisted in refusing to become Federal soidiers, they were rigor- ously confined. and subjected to a deal of harsh treatment. At length after months of confinement, Wal- ter, who had a small cell to him- self, contrived and successfully ex- Walter put hi's't'wo‘l aims vround both wife and child, and, with a grateful upturned look, amid subs and streaming tears, returned thanks to heaven for the blessed re- union. ‘ I knew it, and by the joy paint- ed in your face, I see‘ the news are' good. ls he'wellâ€"is be 'coming!’ ‘Emily. darling; I‘ am here!’ shouted Walter, as, unable to re- main without a moment longer, he rushed in with outstretched arms. ‘I haven’t the slightest idea, Simon. He saw Harry on the street. and was so pleased wnh him that he came here with him, and had the provisions will) him. But whal's the matter?’ she ex- claimed, as she caught sight oi Simon's roll-tale face. ‘01] !’ she cried, springing up, ‘you have heard news oi Walter. You have got a letter; give it me.’ ‘I have no letter, but I have heard ncws,’ Mrs. Talford. ‘ I’m not sure about that,’ return- ed Simon, with a happy smile. ‘ Only it was very kind of him to bring these things. Who is he, Mrs. Talford r’ ‘ the old man as he caught his breath. ‘this is the happiest day in all my life. How delighted Mrs. Talford will be. You see Mrs. Mowbray has quilted the house here. for she didn’t want to be known bv the name of Mowbray in her poverty. And Harry too, he’ll go quite out of himself with joy.’ When lie got up the stair, Mrs. Talford’s door was open, and when he went in. to his amazement he beheld a pile of pics and 13:15 and all kinds of nice food spread upon the table. ‘Oh, Simon!’ cried Harry, the moment he caught sight of the old man’s pleasant face, ‘see all these nice things. A nice old gentleman has been here and brought them, and he is coming back to take me in a fine carriage to the pantomâ€" ime. Oh, he is the nicest gentle- man ever you saw.’ ' We need not repeat the explana- tions exchanged on the way be- tWeen Renfield Street and the COW- caddens; but when they reached the fool of the stair, it was arranged that Simon should go up first, and break the news, lest the abrupt ap- pearance of Walter should give his wife too great’a shock 0! joy. ‘ Take me to ihém, Simon. Let us go quick.’ ‘Oh, sir, we are all so happy,’ re- Joined Emily, ‘ and my husband is equally anxious with myself to thank you for this day’s kindness.’ ‘ Don’t speak of it. If you knew the good it has done me loâ€"’ The Other was no less astonished and affected, and exclaimed, rais- ing at the same moment both his arms in amazement. ‘My God ! Walter'â€" Then tottering forward with a great cry, he held up his hands be- seechingly. ‘ Waller, I wronged you; I was cruel and unjust,’ groaned the old man. ‘ And do I not know it ?’ was the icy reply. ‘Yes, but you know not of my screwâ€"my repentance’â€"â€" ‘ It has come late.‘ ‘No; I have cherished it for years, and l have sought you every- where, but could not find you. Heaven is my witness, and now Heaven has accomplished our meet- ing. Oh, Waller do not turn from me. Remember who says “ Ren- der not evilfor evil, but, contrari- wise, blessmg.” Forgive me. and return you and your matohless wife to my house, which has long been desolate. See, Walter, l kneel to you. The ten‘ years that have sep- erated us have wrinkled myhrow and made grey my hair, and sub- dued my proud selfish heart. For- give me: and let us live in peace and love together.’ He had said thls much before ob-i taining a. view of the stranger’s face, but the moment his eye fell on the old gentleman’s features hebecame dumb, the eager thankful look vanished. from his face, and in stem angry surprise he retreated backward to the middle of 1he room. The youth drew himself coldly up, and turned frowningly away. He was on file threshold now, and Walter came_ Vcagerly forward to meet him. ' ‘ My dear‘sir,’ he laltercd, ‘ how can I sufficiently thank you for‘â€" ‘Returned, has he? I am very glad oflhat. Yes, I shall go yup and see him, for I have been much interesmd in Ah. madam,’ he added,“ he caught sight of Emily’s blushing happy face,’ ‘I am de- lighted to heat of your husband’s return.’ 'Oh, "such news! such happi- ness !’ cried Harry. ‘ Papa has re- turned. Please. sir, come up and see him. He wisth so much 1,0 thank you.’ The youth was silent,’ and stood motionless, with his head still a- verted, with ste'rnness on his brow and anger at. his heart. ‘Ah, my dear young friend,’ he said, ‘ I hope you are now ready to go to the pantomime. Come away â€"-the cab is ‘waiting.’ It was! in truth Mr. Mowbray, and he was more. Xhan half-way up the stair. ‘Oh, I think I hear him coming.’ cried Harry, as a footslcp was heard on the stair, and clapping his hands with glee, he quilted his father’s side and ran out to meet the expected visitor. ‘I have no idea who he is,’ an- swered Emily; ‘but he will be here soon. He promised to return to take Harry to the theatre. ‘ The worst, dear Walter, Was the anguish I endured from ig- norance‘ofyour late. But Simon’s kindness kept me up, or Ishould have sunk altogether. Thank hea- ven the cloud of gloom has vanish- ed now, and we shall all be happy again.’ ‘ We shall indeed,’ returned her hueband, as with fond tenderness he gazed on the pale worn face. of his best beloved. ‘Bul who is your kind benefactor of to-dayl Tell me, that [.may go and bless him.’ ‘ And now, darling,’ added Wal- ter, when his own narrative was done, ‘ tell me how you have fared. Very badly] kn0\v,,and, as I see by the poverty of this dreary room, your trials and sufferings must have been dreadful.’ ccuted a plan of escape. and after many perilous adventures, manag- ed to get on board a ship bound for the Clyde. It had reached Greenock the preyious evening,and the ardent youth had lost not a mo- ment in pushing on to Glasgow. Intelligence more horrible than that which has just reached us has never been received, even from New Zealand. A most atrocious murder has been deliberately com- mitted upon one of the Misstonaries, and this, moreover, in cold blood,; with every sign of deliberation and i with all the most revolting circum-l stances of cannibalism. It has‘ been committed, moreover, not by a rebellious tribe of savage natives, who had never been brought under civilizing influences, but by the very flock of the Missionary him- self among whom he had resided for years, and within sight of his1 own‘house. The unfortunate gen-i tleman was, at the beginning of: last March. returning to his charge 1 in company with another clergy- man, Mr. Grace. On his arrival in a small schooner, the captain quickly discovered the disposition of the natives, and Urged him not to trust himself ashore. But. the same blind confidence which lured so many British officers into the hands of the sepoys prevented Mr. Volkner from believing that he could be in any danger from his disciples. Before, however, he had time to leave the schooner of his own accord. the natives came on board and seized both the crew and the two missionaries. Even then, it is said, Mr. Vollmer refused to believe in the murderous inten- tions which his captors professed, and it was not until he was com-; pelled to strip himself of his upper garments, under a halter hung from} a tree close to his own house, that‘ he was undeceived. The natives hung him in savage haste, tore open his body, distributed his en-t trials to the Maori dogs, and his heart and other fragments to the still more brutal cannibals around. drank his blood, and finally cut of his head, which they have preserv? ed. and exhibit in churches and other places of meeting as atoken of their triumph and an emblem of ,their superstition. Mr, Graeegwas «varned that__he would suffer a si- milar late alter he had served their purpose, which was to exhibit him Cannibalism in New Zealand‘ Little more needs to be told. ‘That afternoon they all went to the pantomime‘ and a happier party is not likely again to enter Mr. Houghton‘s beautiful new theatre. On the following day they exchang- ed the dreary abode in the Cow- caddens for the luxurious mansion in Blythswood Square, and the happySimon was Installed in his old place in Mr. Movaray’s estab- lishment. Mrs. Wilson is house- keeper still, and looks back, as they all do, with joy and thankfulness on the events of that day which proved so emphatically A HAPPY NEW-YEAR' It was enough. In that one word and the tone of its utterance, was asstimnce of forgiveness, affection and peace, and the next moment father and son were locked in a warm passionate embraceâ€"thus scaling their xeconmlliation with the Sign of holy love. A deep choking sob came surg- ing forth from VValler’s throbbing bosdm, and suddenly he turned, held out his arms, and. with a sub- dued laving voice, saidâ€"‘ Father!’ ‘ I‘d-3.3161“ “falter, I spoke up for you when your father was unjust, and now I speak for your father when you are unjust. This is Nevw Year s day, when all wrongs should be lorgivcn, and all breaches heal- cd.

Think how kind he was to-day when he knew not that we where your wife and child. Relent, and be able to offer with a. clear heart the petition “ Forgive us our debts as we for- give our debtors..” ’ Still the youth was silent. ‘ ‘Oh, papa, do forgive grandpapa,” pleaded Harry. ‘ He is a very fine old gentleman, and I like him so much, and he has come to take me to the pantomime. Let us all go together.’ Still the youth was silent. Then Simon came from the cor-( ner inlwhich he had stood all the time, and laid his hand on Walter’s shoulder. TERMS $1 00 In Advance.

SILKs TO BE MORE Cos'rLYâ€"A Dis- EASE AMONG THE SILK Wormsâ€"The London Pall Jllall Gazette says :â€"â€"“ The silk breeders of France are, we are told, in a position of the greatest distress. A strange disease, which has appeared among the worms from time to timeâ€"- notable in, 1688 and 1710â€"~has, since, 1860, recommenced its ravages, till the price of 'seed has risen ten-foldrand the demand for mulberry leaves has so fallen off that the planters threaten to cut, down the trees and use the lands for some more profitable cultivation. The disease shows itself, according to a peti~ tion analyzed in the China Telegraph, just as the worm is about to begin. the‘ cocoon, so that the breeder has the trouble of rearing for nothing, and has to purchase seed, as it were, in the dark. Repeated experiments seem to prove that the only seed which can be trusted is that from J apau, and the breeders there. fore pray the State to aid them by bring- ing home their supplies in men-of-war. It seems probable that this request will be granted, and also that the evil which has spread through all silk-growing countries, except Japan, is not tempor- ary, but may last as long as the potato. rot and the odium. The real obstacle to silk-growing seems to be the slow growth of the mulberry. The worms will live and work in most countries but they want mulberry leaves, and no one is wilâ€" ling to plant orchards which will not be- gin to bear in five-and-twenty years. It would be no matter of surprise if silk, in the next generation, become as costly as under the Roman empire, and a silk dress as complete a test of wealth as it was two hundred years ago. REMARAKABLE FECUNDITLâ€"We learn from an Acton correspondent, that five‘ women in the immediate neighbourhood of that village. have within a month past given birth to eleven children. four of twins, and one, Mrs. Nicoll, of three daugh- ters; all doing well. What neigh- bourhood can ‘beat this 3â€"â€" Guelph Advertiser. ' ' AFortress Monroe correspondent of the Philadelphia Enquirer notices two late in- stances of rebel impudence, which would he astounding were they not specxmens, but rare exceptions. The United States Quartermuv ter recently seized some wood which had been cut by the order of the rebel authorities. Finding that it had been taken without leave from the. land of aloyal Virginian, the Quars termsster paid the owner. The rebel contrac- tor whoput it and had received no "pay from J elf. Davis, has just sent in his contract and bills to be paid by. the United States. ‘ The Quartermaster sent back the bills unpaid and indorsed with the words “Not much.” A demand for rent of the Libby Prison from April 3, 1865, was also sent in last week. It is not very likely to be paid. l Shall still encompass all thy ways.” 0n reaching the portion of the service for the naming of the child, the Arch- bishop demanded of' the sponsers how it should be named. The Queen answer- ed, George Frederic Ernest Albert, and his Grace the Archbishop baptised the child in those names. Having received the sacred symbol, his Royal Highness. the infant prince was returned to the arms of the Queen. The Countess of Maelesfield afterwards took the Prince, who Was reeonducted from the chapel the same way as on entering. The exorta: tion and blessing having been given- by‘ the Archbishop, the ceremonial conclud- ed with a choral by Bach. Luncheon was served for the Royal Family in the. Oak Room, and for the other distinguish? ed guests in the Dining Room. ' By vice 5113 folly [is ensllavgdy J J V Oh, may thy Maker’s glorious name Be on thy infant mind engraved, “So shall no shades of sorrow cloud The sunshine of thy early days, But happiness in endless fpnnd The baptism of the infant Prince, A grandson of Her Majesty the Queen, and son of the Prince of Wales, took place on the 10th inst., at one o’clock in the chapâ€" e1 within Windsor Castle. Two rows of chairs,,one on each side of the centre, were appropriated to the use of the Queen the sponsors, and the Royal personages invited to be present. Convenient seats were also assigned to the Foreign Minisâ€" ters, the members of the Cabinet, and other persons honored with invitations. The sponsors were the Queen of Den- lmark, represented by her Majesty the Queen ; the King of Hanover, represent. ed by Prince Edward of Saxe-‘Velmar; the Crown Prince of Denmark, represent» ed by Viscount Sidney; the Princess Louis of Hesse, represented by the Prin- cess Helena; the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, represented by Earl Granville ; the Duke of Cambridge; and the Prince of Leiningen. All having their places, the service commenced with the following chorals, written by the late Prince Consort:â€"â€" ' “In life’s gay morna ere sprightly youth with the Europeans remaining, to other native tribes, and thus'exeite- them against us. Happily, how. ever, the captain of the schooner had been released, and he contri- ved, with great ingenuity and cour~ age, at a rare moment, when Mr. Grace was ungarded, to carry him off to her Majesty’s steamer Eclipse which had been sent round from Auckland upon the news of this at- rocity. So far, moreover, is this out- break of savagery and cannibalism ‘from being local or exceptional,that nearly every missionary and settler lor the space of about 200 miles along the east coast, including Bishop Williams and his family, have been compelled to fly for their lives, and often to abandon their possessions, which in many cases, as in that of Mr. Volkner, have been distrbuted among the savages.
