It. is a well established principle of our constitutional system that a Govern- ment should not retain power, when the i1? views of its Mombcrslare at variance 9; with those held by the people; to hold 21 the contrary doctrine would be to strike 0 at: the very roots of responsible govern i ment. Nor do we suppose the present 1 Administration will dispute the theOry i‘ further than in resisting its application to their own case; and yet we think i that by this time it. must be obvious, i even to themselves, that their opportun- ity for uselulness has passed. Elected 1 as the advocates of a rigid and unflinch- 1 ing econotny, and as the determined op» ponems of nepotism and corruption ; their Administration of our affairs, has been a signal and shameful failure. (Jar annual expenditure having been largely increased under their manage- ment; while a deeply seated conviction of their incapacity and dishonesty pica vails among all classes of the people; and 5 come how it in y, the country is now suffering under a severe and continuing depression; while as to the means for alleviating this unfortunate condition, and bringing about once more a season of prosperity, the Administration and the people are directly at issue. 'l‘hc former collectin-ly and individually, is strongly in favor of a rolicy of Free 'l'rade, under which industries are sub- ject to a runious competition with the States; while the latter so far as we may judge from the expression ofpublic meetings, and of the Press, is strongly in favor ol'a national policy, which will protect those industries from distruetion at the hands of our more wealthy and powerful rivals. Kowif this is to be the gloat question at the next election, and Mr. Mills himself, admits this [0 be so ; there can he no sound reason for postponing a decision on the issue, on the contrary every argument, is in favor of its speediest settlement. If the Ministry are right, and the people are with them on this question, it. ean do the Government no harm to go to the country for itsjudgmenb on the issue; and if the country is against them, they have no right to retain Power while re fusing to give cifect to the p: pular will; especially when it is consiueted. that. in doing so , they prevent remedial legisla tion for another twelve months, while our condition is steadily sinking from bad to worse. If under the marked t-x pression of public opinion, becoming more marked, and more apparent every day, the Members of Cabinet persist in holding power, resisting any concession to the wishes of the people, it can only‘ be from tho mimrable desire of clinging to oflice until the last moment, in ordet“ t0 wring the last available dollar out of our depleted treasury, or with the worse purpose of shelving a few more of their hungry followers. or Carrying out. a few more of their costly and corrupt jobs. The Members of a Government are very naturally the last to learn evil of them» selves. yet, even they must ere this, have rccognizcd the writing on the wall. The repeated loss of constitueiicies, the angry mutter-in: of their own Press. and finally, the defeat of Mr. Lauricr, must have warned them cf their impend ing fate, and yet a manly and straight forward appeal to the people on a national issue, would even now do much towatds reinstating them in the respect. of the country. where as if they persist in clingint.r to oifice', in defiance of the popular will, they will only put off the evil hour for a worse fate, Al'tt-t' Laurier’s defeat it is unlikely that Mr. Blake can be retained much longer in the Cabinet, that is if'hts sense of self respect has not deserted him. He surely has been dragged through the dirt long enough; and is in no wise bound in honor or otherwise, to come to the whip at Gtrrge Brown’s htels any longer. Between the Globe and Scotch Grits, they have stamped every bit. nt'politiealmanhoed out of him, He had better now clinth his independent pedestral again; rrpvnt: his Aurora speech ; and once more. resume the ' practice of his profession ; and in a few years he may again take a re. spectable place in politics ; as yet, he has been a deplorable failure, but he is still a youngr man, and may redeem the time. But, he would do well to have a care not to sink in the same rotten cratr. with Mackenzie, H untington. thfiauime and the rest of the beautiful crew, as it is very doubtw fnl ifany one going dmrn with them will ever come to the surface again.

New Hall, took place on Thursday last, the 15% inst, , and was in every respect; a complete success. An excellent dinner, provided by the ladies of the Temple, and served from two o’clock until five, was duly appreciated by those havmg a ‘taste [or good repnsls, judging from the inmnncr in which the tables were filled lull afternoon At five o’clock after prayer by the‘ Rev. Mr. Campbell, the chair was taken by Peter Patterson, Esq.,M. P. 1)., who, in a very able address, referred to the cause which brought them together, the amount of good being done by such orders. and the prosperity of tho difier- entv lodges throughout the country He also congratulated rhe members of Rich- mond Hill Temple upon their increas- ing number, and the improer appear- ance of the fine hall which they now pos- sessed. The Rev. W. G. Howson was then introduced, and addressed the meet- ing on “ The Effects of the Social Glass.” ‘l his oration was really good, and Was listened to with marked attention and plmasure by the audience throughout. '1 he Rev. Gentleman understands the subject thoroughly, and in beautiful and appropriate language, he drew a graphic picture of the “ Social Glass ” entering a happy home, its course there; how otlu r memlwers cf the family besides the father became addicted to its use, and then, in eloquent and stirring language, he pictured with dramatic cifect the terrible re ults of such binneful habits. At, the conclusion a vote of thaan was tendered to the speaker, and the meeting: idispm'sed after singing the National l Anthem. At seven o’clock, a grand concert. was held,with Mr. Truman Mapes, “7.0., in the chair, which position be filled in an able manner. The hall was crowded by an audience that highly appreciated the efforts ofthose contributing to the en joyment ol‘ the evening,r An excellent selection from the Patterson string band was heartily applauded. This was t followed by a fine selection From the Markham Glee Club, which was equally well received. A comic song, “Here he goes,” by Mr. VValmsley,of Toronto, was received with rounds of applause, which elicited. "We all wear cloaks,” aceon-panicd by the guitar. Mr. Shep- pard, ol' \Villowdalc, read with very fine effect, “ The Sentry.” “ Merry is the greenwood tree,” by Miss 11. McCallum, was very finely rendered, and the audience in response to their loud and prolonged applause, received, " I will marry my own love," which was rend- ered with due regard for the pathos and sentiment of the song. A ballad, “The anchors weighed,” by Mr. Walmsley, ‘was given in good style, and an encore ‘ was responded to by “ Do to others,” laecompanied by guitar, which was well ‘rvceived. The Markham Glee Club followed with “A Social Glass," which lwas well rendered and encorcd. and brought forth, “ “’0 come, we come,” in good style. After a few minutes of' intermission, the Patterson string band gave a very fine selection ; thisband was accompanied on the piano by M iss Rupert. I. O. G. T. Entertainment. A sele-etion from Markhain Glee Clubl was well rendered and received by thel an i nee, as was “ Jerusha put the Ker-t tie on.” A selection from Valentinel Vex, by M r. Sheppard, was given in a Vivncious and dramatic style, and was reeexved with rounds of applausv. “ Bride Bells." was very finely rendered by M iss H. MeCallum, and in response to a hearty encore "‘ The vale of Chalieur” was charmingly rendered. This lady’s voice, full in volume and well cultivated, would have been heard to better advantage in a good music hall. “ Crowding Awfully”was given by Mr. Walinsley, and well received by the audience, whoae applaudit‘s were responded to by a. charming medley. A selection from the Marlxhnm Glee Club, was also received With great ap- plause. “Under my own roof tree," was then given in good stvle by Mr. Walmsley. The Patterson String Band gave a fine selection, and after singing the National Anthem the audience dis- persed. The accompaniment to Miss H. McCallnm’s, and a number oer. Walsmley’s songs. was executed on the piano by Miss McCallum. who makes a most efficient accompanist. At the con- elusiu') of the concert tea was served in the diningr hall. The following evening ( Fridav) tea was also served in this llnll. Proceeds of the Entertainment $115, which will he applied to liquida- ting the debt on the hall.

BARN BURNERâ€"«On Thursday evening last. the lst inst, a barn owned by Mr. Goodwxn} Barnard, and rented by Mr James Ash, who lives about halfn-milc above Elgin Corners, was, with all its contents, destroyed by tire. The fire broke out about nine o’clock, and had made such headway when noticed that nothing could be saved. Fortunately Mr. Ash had dis- posed of'neurly all his Wheat, and had only about fifty bushels in the barn. Besides this he lost a large quantity of oats, peas, hay, etc., a fanning mill, :1 reaper and mowerI and a number of other agricultural implements. The fire is attributed to the work of an in- cendiary, as neither Mr. Ash nor any of' the family were near the barn during the afternoon or evening. His loss is covered by insurance. There seems to be a great many buildings being fired by the carelessness of' tramps and other worthless characters throughout the country just now,and we would advise the farmers to be on the look out for anything of this kind. Any person caught at such work should be made an example of. The regular monthly fair was held on the fair ground, in this village, on Wed- nesday last. The six-nets presented a very lively and business appearance up to two o'clock, there being an unusually large number of farmers in the village. There was a good show of cattle on the grounds, as regards quantity, but the quality was not way good. Prices were (air, and good animals were quickly purchased. Remember the Grand Concert in con- nection with the Canada Methodist Church, to be given in the Masonic Hall, on the evening of Friday, the 16th inst. The services of the Patterson String Band, and some of the best amateur and professional talent: from Toronto and other places, having been secured, an excellent programme will be rendered, consisting of readings, reci- tations, choruses, ductts, solos, and instrumental music. Immediately at the close ofâ€"tlie Concert, an Oyster Sup- per, with other delicacies will be served in the Hall, to which all are cordially invited. Admission to Concert, 25 cents ; to Supper, 15 cents; to Concert and Supper, 35 cents. The Concert will commence at, 7 o’clock sharp. Pro. ceeds in aid of the Parsonage Fund.

The l machineri was soon stopped, and Mr.‘ Kelly extracted, when it was found that his forehead was very badly cut. above hotheyes,zmd his nose severely injured by striking against a pile of timber; his rig-ht side was also badly bruised by the laction of the shaft.

BY THE AUTHOR OF HELEN QUATERMAINE; AN ARRIVAL. Impatient and unhappy, her cousin was hustin endeavoring to free herself from the grasp of the eager girl, when d0~ r of Mrs. Irbv’s sitting room was leown open by that lady. and she heard a voice speaking within it that made her pause and listen. Bewildored and in- credulous, she grazed doublfully at Mrs. lrby, who smiled, and stood aside to let her pass, and in the next moment she was in the arms of her father. I 7“ You have been ill, and no one told me ! Oh, papa, why did you not. send for me ?" “ Because I have not as yet required your affectionate nursing, my dear. So far I have been able to keep up, and wait on myself; but when I found that Icnuld no longer fulfil my dutics, I thought it was time to resign the com- mand of my regiment, and come to England to spend my few remaining days w'th my child.” “ But, you ale not dangerousiy illy papa,” anxiously gazmg at him. “ You will recover now since you have come here. The chanwe will make on well ' a” and strong again. Colunel Qualermaine kissed her with- out replying; and for some time Helen continued to flarter herself that his in- dispusition was only temporary. But at. last he felt that it was cruel to let her buoy herself with hopes which could not be realized, and plainly told her that his physmiuns had Warned him that his hours were numbered Once convinced of this, Helen sum- moned all her fortitude to aid her, and concealed her grief that. it might not distress him. The father and daughter were drawn toward each other by the impendlng shadow of their earthly sep aration. as they had never been before, and every moment they hant together became full of precious memories to Helen. To Wait upon her father, to lend to him, to anticipate his wishes. to soothe him when suil'ering rendereil him irritable, were now her tasks ; and in fulfilling those she learned to overcome the more selfish regrets she might have brooded over had she bLen less fully occupied. IL‘ was not till sew-ml days had glid- ed by that she relinquished all expecta- tion of seeing Mum'ij l unlop, and when Culoncl Quuulermainc decided on leaving Londvn for his native pl:aceâ€"â€"-a village new Hastingsâ€"the mstf'ul ex- pression of his daughter's eyes induced him to question her. llelon, who knew that her fall‘ier had never thoroughly approved of her en gagvment, and that it. cost him a great deal to make this concession, kissed his hand in silence, and forbore to question him when he returned, exhausted with the eXerlinns 0f the day, which had in- cluded a drii'e into the (lily to the offi- ces of his lawyers. The Colonel was equally silent. for he had nothing pleas an! to communicate. The highâ€"spirited old soldier had found it diflicult to keep his temper when Maurice Dunlop in veighed against Helen’s cxaggermed and romantic notions, and sneeer at the samples which he declared that she had imbibed from her fanatical friend Mrs. Kayne. It. Wm: not till Helen had lit her father’s night-121nm, and was arrang- ing his pillows before she left him to repose, that he alluded to his long and stormy interview. At. fiz'st ti 9 advice was unpalatable, but in a little while Helen began to see that her deep coniriiisereition for M r. Dunlop, her regret, (has he was not all she once fancied him, was totally different from the steadfast. enduring love that makes married life the happiest of all condiâ€" tions. She had been fascinated bv his handsome exterior; preud and imper‘ ions herself, it had flattered her to see him bend his indomitable Wlll to hers, and her fancy had endowed him with good qualities which he had never possessed. “ My little girl, it is hard, very hard sometimes. to put from us for conscience sake what we most prize; but. there are sadder hours in store for those who turn a deaf ear to conscience altogether. Be thankful that you have been saved from the wretchedness of marriage with a man who makes this wmld his master.” “ But if I had been more affectionate, papa, more earnest in my “pleadings,” sobbed Helen, “he nnght have listened to me, for he loved me very much. It is terrible to think that he wi!1 he left, to himself, now that he is hurt and angry.” The idol once broken. we may weep over the fragments,butnot forlong. And Helen Quatermaine did not experience a single pang of self pity when, some six months after her parting from Maurice Dnnlop, she read in one of the morning: papers an annoucement of’ his marriage with theilovely and accomplished sister of Messrs. Reden, who were glad to attach more closely to their inteusts the clever, enterprising junior partner, under whose management their business was rapidly increasinn'. “ Not to himself, dear child. What your hands could not do you may safely leave in those of the All \Vise. You have humbly and prayerfully endeavored to do right; is it not so .9 Then be con- tent.” CHAPTER (Concluded 710:1?! week.) ~‘ LUST IN THE WINNING.” LI.â€"CONTINUED.

W but are the beautiful smooth roads in varsous ports of Canada composed of but gravel. Plenty of'your renders, Mr Editor, know this. Of course every gravel road is not a smooth oneâ€"a few inches of gravel thrown down into the mud and never seen to for years. cannot be taken as a proper example of a gravel rond; but. let two hundred dollars ($204)) a mile be laid out on it every year at'ler the road has been carefully (iitcl’red, rounded up. and coated wirlrndecp heavy coat. as Yonge street wns, then, nsl say, $200 a year laid out on each mile lor- ten years. as has been done with Yorvgo street-wusing gravel instead of sandstone 0h, Barges, wouldn’t we have had a good road 1 ltwould have been three feet thick with gravel, and would have I reached from one ditch to the other, and n0 ditch would be needed. But, alas, the Superintendent’s occupation would be gone â€"no. not occupation, for he does not occupy, I will take that back. Sinecme or some srrch term might be used, for he is only secn on the read once a month, travelling at the rate of six miles an hour, and some scores of others would have to go to work; ’I he Superintendent, although he has a bar? ror of gravel. thinks, however, very highly of sandstone, most. excellent, magnificent. exalted. delightful. blessed, delicious, inert" pressiny good material for roads. Be is highly learned in the d‘fl'erent varieties of sandstone. but he prefers the harder kinds ofsandstonc. such as take about a month to crush and grrnd up. There is a par- ticulnrtime, however, when to put them upon the roads: also a particular way how to putthem onâ€"it tnlres a first clase men well VBI'M‘Cl in the subiect to know how to do it right.
