A kiss and a smile would have been more precious to the young wife than a hun- dred silk dresses; She took the money saying: 1.. _ SOTnething in Ada/s wide and manner caused Mr. Whitman to lift his eyes,with a look of inquiry to hei‘ face.

He was graver and more silent than usual, and ate with scarcely any appear- ance of appetite.

I tell you so frankly. It should never have been purchased; but a too indulgent husband yielded to the impor- tunities of a foolish young wife; I say this to take blame from him Now, sir, meet the case if you can do so in fair- ness to yourself. Take back the watch, and say how much I shall pay you besides.’ The jeweller draped his eyes to think‘ The case took him a little by surprise. He stood for nearly a minute; then tak- ing the bill and watch, he saidâ€"‘ Waic a. moment,’ and went to a desk nearby. ‘Will that do?’ He had come for- ward again, and now presented her with the receipted bill. His face wore a pleased expreesion. u n-r (n 1 Q book. I. ‘How Ifluch shall I pay you ?’ asked Mrs, Whitman, drawing out her pocket- ‘Nothing. The watch is not defaced.’ ‘ You have done a kind act, Sir,’ said Mrs. Whitman, with feeling tremhiing along her voice. ‘I hope you will not, think unfavorable of my husband. It’s no fault of his that the bill has not been paid. Good morning, sir,’ . Mrs. Whitman drew her veil over her face, and went with a light steps and a light heart, from the store. The pleasure she had experienced on receiving her Watch was nyt to be compaxed with that now felt in parting with it. From the jeweler’s she went to the boot-makers and paid the bill of twenty-five dollars; from thence to her milliner’s and settled for her last bonnet~ ‘ I know you’re dying to see my new dress,’ said Mrs. Whitman gaily, as she drew her arm within that of her hus- band, on his appearance that evening. ‘ Come over to our bedroom, and let me show it. Come along! Don’t hang back, Charles, as if you were afraid.’ Charles Whitman went with his wife passively. looking more like a man on his way be receive sentence, than in expec- tatlon of a pleasant sight. His thoughts were bitter. ‘ Shall my Ada become lost to me ?’ he said in his heartâ€"‘ lost to me in a worlg of'_folly, fishign apd Egtrgvggapce ?’. ‘Sit down, Charles.’ She lcdvhim to alarge, cushioned chair.

Then she handed him the jeweller’s bill. ‘ It is receipted, you see? Her voice fluttered a little. ‘Adal how is this ? What does it mean ?’ He flushed and grew eager. ‘I returned the watch, and Mr. Raâ€" receipted the bill. I would have paid fotfidamage, but he‘ said it was uninjured, and asked nothing.’ ‘ Oh, Ada!’ V ‘ And this is receipted also; and this ;’ handing him the other bills Whiéh she paid. "And now, dear,’ she added quick- ly, ‘ how do you like my dress '1’ Isn’t it beautiful?‘ * We leave the explanations and scene that follov'Ved to the reader’s imagination. If any fair lady, however. who, like Ada, has been drawing too‘ heavily upon her husband's Slender income, for silks and jewels,- is at a loss to realize the scene, let her try Ada’s experiment. Our word for it, she will find a. new and glad ex- perience in life; Costly silks and jewels may 'be very pleasant things, but they are too dearly bought when they come at- the price of a husband’s embarrassment, mental disquietude, or alienation. Too often the gay young wife wears them as the sign of these unhappy conditions Tranquil hearts and sunny homes are precious things; too precious to be bur dened and clouded by weak vanity and love of show. Keep this in mind, oh ye fair ones, who have husbands in moderâ€" ate circumstances. Do not let your bride and pleasure oppress them. Rich ‘clothiug, costly laces and gems, are poor substitutes for smiling peace and hearts overshadowed by care. Take the lesson and live by it, rather than offer another illustration, in your owd experience, of the folly we have been trying to expose and rebuke.-â€"’Arthur’s Magazine; Upon the 19th March, 1867 .the writer was privileged through the kindness of the Rev. Mr. Anderson, to visit an indi- vidual, who, of all others. possesses' his- toric interest. About half a mile north of the Indian' Church upon the old York 1 road, 'l‘yendinagua, upon the shores of the lovely Bay of Quinte, lives Christian Moore. Beside the stove,» in a low In- dian chair, sat a woman whose shrunken and bent appearance made her appear no larger than a. girl of sixteen. But thel face, with its parchmentâ€"like skin, the deeply wrinkled features, bespoke the burden of many winters. Yet, the eye still flashed locks of intelligence, as the face was upturned from her hands, on which she almost 'ncvessantl rested her head, as‘if the s on ere Tia wearied in their long life£duty.l Christian is up- wards of a hundred years old, during eighty of which she had remained a cap- tive with the Mohawks. Although a white woman, she knows not a word of English. Long, long years ago, in be- coming the wife of an Indian, and the mother of Indians, she became to all pur- poses one of themselves. She is a living relic of the American Revolution, as well as‘ of the customs of the Mohawk Indians a hundred years ago. In the first days of the rebellion of the original thirteen American colonies. in an encounter between the Indians- and a party of rebels in the Mohawk Valley, one of the Indians, by the name of Green Was killed. The custom amo’ng the seve. 1 ml tribes, or families, when one of their l number bade-been lost in war, was to take ‘ the first captive they could, and adopt him or her into the tribe, to keep up the number. A party of Indians, under John Green, a chiefand brother to the one killed (called in afterdays Capt. Green,) in the course of their foray caught a little girl about ten years of age. That little girl is the old person of whom we are Speaking. The old woman yet reeollccts the fact that her father’s family, on the approach of the indians, made haste to escape. She by accident was left alone or behind. She remembers to have been running along the road when she was taken. She says there were agood many Indians. After this there is a blank in her memory, until the period of the In- dians leaving their homes to escape from the rebels. This was the time when they buried their Communion plate, which was presented by Queen Anne, in 1710. It was recovered at the close of the war, and a part is now in use at the Grand River and a part at the” Bay of Quinte church. Christian says she was carried upon an Indian’s back as they fled to Lachine. She reeollects that they were staying three years at Laehine. when the tribe set out to take possession of the land which the British Government was to give them. It was about a year from the time they started from Laehine until they, under Brant, reached their destina- tion, the Grand River. Captain Green was with this party and stayed with them at Grand River for six years, when, be- coming dissatisfied, he with his family came to the Bay of' Quinte. Christian remembers all this, She was living with Captain Green's sisters’s sister. Thev came in a batteau, down the north shore of Lake Ontario, and crossed at the car- rying-place at the head of the Bay. £13222 0112313165, énfiiéwiifi M'oofizé. In time,. Christian became the wife of an Indian, by the name of Anthony Smart, who, she says, has been dead now thirty years. They had but one child, a daughter, who, in time, was marâ€" ried to Abram Maricie. They had three children, one being a son. Chris- tian’s daughter had has been dead many years; but the old lady now is surround- ed by grandchildren to the third genera- .tion. Some timo after the close of the Revo‘ lution, a person by the name of Moore came with his family to Canada, and SLE tied at Napanee. By some means he learned that there was a white woman among the Mohawks upon the bay, and he visited them’ to see if it might be his long lost daughter; Such proved to be the case. He was Christian’s father; She remembers the. occasion, (it, Was about forty-five years ago) her father was then very old. Of course, there has no resemblance between the’ ’wh‘man in Indian garb before him, arid the little girl of ten years. But there was a‘ r'iiark upon her arm, the result of a. burn; by which he was enabled to‘ recognise his oWn flesh and blood. The scar upon the left foreSarm, can yet be distinctly seen. Painful, indeed, must have been the feel~ ingS‘of the parent to know she was his daughter, and yet understood not a syl- lable of her mother tongue. The natural channel by which parental and filial affection might have flowed; was sealed. She says she has a sister now living back at Napanee. She asked her father if she had been christened, and he informed her that she had been. Upon our asking her the question if she ever went to school, she says, “ No; that she was always working hard.’ Asking her the question if she did not think she had lived a long while, she replied, “ I don't think I'll live very long.’ The Rev. Mr. Anders n informs us that she ever Iiiain. tained the character of a true Christian and is always happy to partake of the Holy Communion. . Christian's great grandson, himself" a father, acted as inter- preter.â€"From New Dominion Monthly for December: w.â€"~.â€".â€"; TEE MATAPEDIA. Starting from St. Flavie, in the County of Rimouski, on the south shore of the St. Lawrence, two hundred miles below the City of Quebec, and within two hours’ drive below Father Point, is one of the least known yet most wonderful of roads in the New Dominion. Stretching away in u south-easterly direction, it strikes, deep in the wilderness among the moun- tains, the head-waters after which it is called; henceforth it hugs them closely with many “ a wind about,” reaching its terminus 110 miles from the start, at Cross Points, on the Restigouche River, in the County of Bonaventure. It was built by Government at great expense. It was eight years in building,rhaving been begun in ’58 and completed in ’67. ' Though, at times, no little engineering skill and persistency Were required to carry it on, yet it is always Well and, in many places, beautifully‘built. Frequen- tly, where the mountains rise precipi- tously from the river. they Were forced to cut into. their sides to find I a way: Then, by building up the lower side with wharfage works, reached by railing from above, a firm touting was secured; Occ'a- ‘ sionly on the other side, a framework has been partially burrowed into the moun- tain, to prevent slides. The grade is gravelled, with a width of‘18 feet; ,En- couraged by an premium from the Gov- ernment of $100, houses of entertainment at convenient distances have been estab- lished along the road. Formerly, when drawn by dogs, the mail was weekly; now, drawn by horses, it is trirweekly. The man, it is said, who carried it for , nearly twenty years under the old regime, .3 and made a handsome thing out ofit,was lqnitc vexed when his dogs had to gite ‘way to another-‘s horsesâ€"so selfish and .‘deting in public spirit are some men“ Ere long the horse himself must give :Wsy to the locomotive. .A wilder, more unique railroad route is Seldom surveyed. Fora hundred miles or more the line runs either side by side or on the road. , A new carriage-way will have to be built {on the opposite side of the river, at as great, it' not at a greater cost. After reaching the upper end of Lake Mata- ipedia, about thirty miles from the St. 1 Lawrence, near which runs the ridge that separates the waters that flow north, to south to the Bay Chaleur, the stranger . often remarks the down grade of the ,road. And yet, on his return, the same ipoculisrity ss tending now the other way, strikes him as forcibly. On observing the singularity to one of the surveyors, at present employed upon the line, he as- sured me that the route, though at times presenting,r to the unpractised eye almost insuperable difficulties, yet as far as se- curing a level was concerned, was emiv lncntly fitted for the purpose, there beingsr 10 feet of fall to the mile for 100 miles. â€".F,-om an, article in the Arcw Dominion i Monthly. ~ IBTTER PROM 1m. LIVINGSTONE. The Following is the paragraph in the Bombay Gazette on which a. telegram re- ceived here a week or two ago was based : ‘ “ A letter was, on October 5th, received in Bombay by Government from Dr. lKirk, Acting Political Agent at Zanzi- bar, dated September 7th, 1869, in which he states that he has received a letter from Dr. Livingstone, dated Bangweloo, July 8th, 1868. In that letter Dr. Livingstone says : I may say I have found what I believe to be the sources of - the Nile, between ten degrees and twelve ' degrees south, or nearly the position as. signed to them by Ptolemy.’ The sources ' of the river appear from the letter to con- sist of a number of large lakes, and Dr. Kirk, in writing of these lakes, says they are probably ten days’ march in length, and, like the Nyass Tanganyika and A1- bert Nyanza, overhung high mountain slopes which open out in bays and val- leys.’ This description of the appear- ance of the lakes and mountains appears to have been obtained from the Arab traders who brought the Doctor’s letter to Zanzibar. Dr. Livingstone was in good health and spirits when he wrote this letter from Bangwollm” to the St. Lawrence from those that flow ‘ PARLIAMENTARY incéaznmol IN THE ‘ Second Session Qf the Fourth’l’arliamm“ 0? ml: ‘ mofmcm 01c UPPER U‘ANADA: ‘ 1806.
