Kate Livingston, or the Es- should [ desire to detain you from the fes- tive scene where your smiles diffuse so much radiance.” Gathering up the folds of her mantle around her, and bending upon hima look of defiance and reproach, Kate Livingston awept from the room, murmuring, ** Lis well—'tis very well.” The parlors of Mrs, Stevens were illum- inated and Leng with festoons of rare flowers; in the cuelosure of a window that overlooked the garden, stood Kate Living- ston. The pale moonbeams, straying through the foliage of the lawn, fell npon her face and reyealed the same expression that it wore an hour before when she had ssed her husband's. threshold. Her ie was broken at length by a tap on shoulder, when turning quickly, her eyes met those of Rashicigh Grant, * Ave youstanding for a statue of Niobe, .

Mrs. Livingston was the bright ‘ particular star” Her honmots were pronounced sparkling, her toilette exquisite, her manuer pleasing in the extreme, and what Pierce Living ston wore and what she said, were hou hold words in every fashionable establis ment. Wilh the most child-like simplicit of manner Kate had been the presidi deity of her husband's house, Uithert she had cente her affections in the narrow circle of that home, and lavished allthe love of her young heart upon its/ treasure, as she was wont to call her hns- | band. But now she had stepped across the wonted threshold to go forth into the wide world, leaving its quieh shadows, o i 0) on all around, for the gay and gilded hall where mirth and revelry reigned trium- phant. She could not look beyond that iliiant pagentry, and feel that all its y was but the superticial barrier that divided her from the lottier aims and purposes of life; and though the stream of splendor was fairto look on, she knew not then on its deceitful tide she wis gliding on to an abyss of wretched- ness, In vain had Pierce expostulated and rveasened with her. Tn yain had be implored her to cease the dissipation which like a whirlpool was drawing her into its narrowing circle, where their peace must be engulfed forever, As nightatter night was spent in the same ceaseless round of revelry, he renewed his efforts to resume | the subject or to lecture heragain, From that hour a dark gulf rolled between her and her husband's heart, for Pieree had closed it against her, and estrangement was Written above its portal. Ol! thou wind of midnight; upon thy invisible wings thou beavest a fearful burthen. ‘Che widow's wail over the cold clay form of her protector—the deep sigh that bursts from the Losom of remorse— the orphan's cry—the maniae’s wildering seream—the last breath that heaves the bosom of expiring humanity as the Jamp | of life is darkening beneath the shadowy | pinions of death. On such a night we be- hold Kate dressed fora brilliant masque- rade. The costume she had selected was one well designed to display her queenly form end heighten charms so radiant as | hers. ‘Che wealth of her night-black hair tolded in a massive ceil around her small head, was fastened aM a glittering serpent | in whose ruby eyes the concentzated lignt | tlashed like a fitlul fame. 4 e stood} waiting, she contrasted the past with the | hollow mockery of the present, when her | eatriage was annotinced. Sho hastily flung her cloak around her, pausing but a moment as she passed the library, as though intently listening, while an old tenderness passed across her face; she uttered a deep sigh that sent a shudder to her heart, but she went on thinking if he | but said one word, how gladly + oald she | go to him, with open heart, fling herselfat | his feet and in the forgiveness of the past | build the joyous hopes of a new and| brighter future, He turned to her witha look of seorn, Summerside, Dec 12,1867—3in and said, 1 would like to be alone, nor where her smile had dispensed sunbeanss |, vompinion that made his bold eyes seek the ground, unable to meet the proud light of virtue that gleamed in hers “You are very kind, Rashleigh Grant, in thus counselling me tog ny hus bands name to dishonor—to blast, with the lightning breath of a mother’s shame, lovely child.

The next morning, Mrs. Livingston as the early sunlight was stealing in through the half closed: blinds, Jay on a lounge with her heavy black haiv thrown from off her face, the traces of tears were moist upon her cheeks, when the husband en- tered, A shudder passed over him as he al upon her, Ere she could realize her situation, he demanded her to. reveal tohin all that had transpired between hersel€ and Rasheleigh Graut on the pre- ceding evening. Belore night a challenge had been sent, and a imeeting arranged for the ensuing morning. ‘Thrice had Kate sent word to Rashleigh to avoid the meeting, but al- though he was uaprincipled, he was nota coward, and he heeded not her prayers. Pierce : rose enrly in the morn,and bade use farewell. Iie took the ms and tenderly caressed her, then loosed her from him, and the arimemories of the happier ys came thick and first qpon him, he traced these lines to his wits; “Karn, My Own Dear Wife: A few short moments and T shall depart oa a journey from which [may never return, for mine is an errand of lite or death! Should I fall you will in those Tew lines read ny full forgiveness of the past. 1 know you will mourn for me, and Jet the first bright unclouded moments of our wedded life alone Jinger about your heart. and the memory of that happiness will banish the bitter retlections of later years, And now once inore, farewell. DPirncn.” Ho arrived at the place of meeting soon after. The ground was then measured, and the seconds took their places. Rash- leigh Grant extended his hand to Pi ree and said: ‘Pierce Livingston, your wife is inno- cent, and should T fall, remember that you have listened to a dying man who tel you that she has rebuked his insolence as ho deserved.” i‘ ** T believe you, Rash,” he replied, ‘* but it is too Inte to recede,” The report of pistols echoed through the valley, and eve it died away, Pieree Liy- ingston fell with his lite-bleod pushing from his heart, dyeing the green sward at his feet, That morning his child ewaken- ed worse than orphaned, aud bis wife to a fearful widowhood. Alone,—it is a litle word, but very sad, beoause we can ponder on it until we shut oul the space that widens, till we grow afraid to look. The tearful lesson saddened many years in tho life of Kate Livingston—years iu which by prayer and meditation, she learned to follow her Saviour, on whose besom she found peace. And when at last she was wooed again Ly one who loved her, she did not accept the offer to beeome his wife uutil she had told hia of the past, Ilo listened with emotion to her contession, at the conclusion of which he renewed his offer and Kate again be- came a wile, | A few weeks sineo T made her a_ visit. | dise where no flatterers were allowed to ; , visable for the good of any of her ac- quaintanees, whom sho thinks are in dan- ger of making the same fearful mistake which clouded her young life, she relates her story, and its effects have been for good to many who have listened to the narrative ® —The successful man is nof y the man to be envied—not al- ways the happiest man. Ituman nature cannot have its own will long, without becoming deteriorated by it. We aré ap- pointed to struggle, and in struggling our highest life is developed. The time will come when the laws of our present con- dition will cease, and when we shall be able to bask in the sunshine of success without danger to our virility, or encrva- tion of our Virtues. ‘Vill then, it is our wisdom to aecept our lot, and make the best of it—to seek fer our enjoyment in our work rather than what the work pre- duces—-to till the soil, and dismiss all needless anxiety abont the haryest—to be more concerned that we should be right than that we should succeed; in a word, r ourselves like well-disciplined sol- th whom strict obedience is the red of obligations, and who ave thereby absolyed trom responsibility as to results.

From ts Canadian for Pesruary, 185% aving in previous articles spoken of istextent and unequaled productive. ness of the fisheries of the Dominion. ot Canuda, and the propricty of daly con- sidering their importance teany treaty of reciprocity between Great Briisin and the United States, we would proceed to enil attention to the influcnee they must nece suvily wield upon the future destiny of the Dominion. To such a country as the Dominion of wiada -so wide in extent, 32 varied in productions, and so rieh i sourees—ib increase to the population is ot the st possible imporiance, Men ave it ave most needcd= honest and indus- trious, with minds to plan and hands to labor, If -* population i th,” it there- fore follows that not only individual efforts but sound legislation should be directed invain. Shes toward giving an impetus to those branch- es of business whie promise the best and safest returns. EK elfort should be mide to attract to Canadian shores the tens of thousands of emigrants who anno seek homes upon this continent, But, un- fortunate instead of thir, thousands of our countrymen—the young men, the bone and sinew, the life-blood of the population leave their homes cvery year to. seels their fortunes iu the United States. ‘This is to be deeply regretted, and ought, if possible, to be prevented. But how can this be done inost effectually? By con- vineing them that they can obtain remu- nerative employment at home; that their chances of su are as good in their ve land as elsewhere; and that honest, patient, persevering effortis, in general, sure to be rewarded, Tn no dep: ent is success more ecr- tain than in’ that of the fisheries, No whore in this ‘wide world can this business be so favorably prosecuted as in the mari- time provinees ; and as long as fish inhabit the sea and mankind the land, the trade can never fil, The natural advantages of the people of these provinces are very great, The fish avo on their coasts—in their bays and vivers—at their very doors, Much of their time may be devoted to other avocations; and when wind, wea- ther, and fish iavite, they can go forth upon short voyages, and dry and pack their catch upon their own Jand, And yet, strange to sry, with all these induce. ments to Libor, the liberal provisions of a benificent Province are unappreciated and ‘gloctud. We remember secing within nee of some ten miles on the west- ern coast of Prince Ndward Island, about two hundred sail of American: fishermen prosecuting a profitable business. while the people upon shore were complaining of poverty, aud inany of thom leaving tho country. If strangers, with distance and other disadvantages to contend against, ean thus find remunerative employment in our waters, what is there to prevent ple doing thesame? Annexa- d tell is that we have not the tret, and perseveranee ot landers; but the stalwart sons of Old England will bardly betieve the assertion. Nations, like individu 3, are sometimes unconscious of the oility thai is slumbering within them, sid need to be aroused to a realization: of their powers and priveleges. Wo are deter. mined to awasen interest in this matter we shall agitate it continually, Ths pub- he men of the dominion muat make them- selves thoroughly acquainted with it; the people must be taught the folly ‘of aban- doning home, friends, and the glorious heritage ot Brilons, for what may be ob- tained at their own doors. ‘The Canadian government miust build up andsprotect the fisheries, and cneourage every man who engages therein in every proper possible way. Let this be done. and not only will tho native-born population be glad fo res ad ILer home is the abode of content, and her | main, but others will fad it to be to their life is flowing calmly, interspersed with liuterest to make their homes in thy Do- good deeds, Whenever she thinks it ad-iminion, *
