No other complaints are so insidious in their

attack as those affecting the throat and lungs: none so trifled with by the majority of suffer- ers. The « ry or cold, resulting perhaps from a tri ; or unconscious ex- posure, is often 1 the begimiing of a fatal sickness.

CHAPTER XXXL (Continued. ) ' She had no tears this morning. She had wept them ali away last night, and now she | felt that dey-eyed morning misery which is | worse than the first shock, because it has | the future in it as well as the present. Every morning to come, as far as her im- | agination could stretch, she would have to| get up and feel that the day would have no| joy for her. For there is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of ovr first yreat sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, tu have despaired and to have recovered hope. As Hetty began languidly to take off the clothes she had worn all the night, that she might wash herself and brush her hair, she had a sick- ening sense that her life would go on in this way; she would always be doing things eh3 had no pleasure in, getting up to the old tasks of work, seeing people she cared nothing about, going to church, and to Treddieston, and to tea with Mrs. Best,and carrying no happy thought with her. For her short poisonous delights had spoiled for ever all the joys that had once made the sweetness of her life—the new frock ready for Treddleston fair, the party at Mr. Britton’s at Broxton wake, the beaux that she would say ‘no’ to for along while, and the prospect of the wedding that was to come at last, when she would have a silk gown and a great many clothes all at once. These things were all flat and dreary to her now; everything would be a weariness; and she would carry about forever a _ hopelesg thirst and longing. She paused in the midst of her lan-

| | }

guid undressing, and leaned ayainst the dark old clothes-press. Her neck and arms were bare, her hair

hung down in delicate rings, and they were just as beautiful as they were that night two months ago, when she walked up and down this kedchamber glowing with vanity and hope. She was not thinking of her arms and neck now; even her own beauty was indifferent to her. Her eyes wandered sadly over the dull old chamber, and then looked out vacantly toward the growing dawn, Did a remembrance of Dinah come across her mind? Of her foreboding words, which had made her angry—of Dinah’s affectionate entreaty to think of her asa friend in trouble! No; the im- pression had been too slight to recur.

Any affection or comfort Dinah could have given her would have been as indiffer- ent to Hetty this morning as everything else was except her bruised passion. She was only thinking that she could never stay here and go on with the old life; she could better bear something quite new than sink- ing back into the old every-day round. She would like to run away that very morning, and never see any of the old faces again. But Hetty’s was not a nature to face difliculties—to dare to loose her hold on the familiar and rush on some unknown condition. Her’s was a luxurious and vain nature, not a passionate one; and if she were ever to take any violent measure, she must be urged to it by the desperation of Terror. There was not much room for her thoughts to travel in the narrew circle of her imagination, and she soon fixed on the one thing she would do to get away from her old life ; she would ask her uncle to let her go to be a lady’s maid. Miss Lydia’s maid would help her to get a situa- tion if she knew Hetty had her uncle's leave.

When she had thought of this, she fas- tened up her hairand began to wash ; it seemed more possible for her to go down stairs and try to behave as usual. She would ask her uncle this very day. On Hetty’s blooming health it would take a great deal cf such mental suffering as hers to leave any deep imprees ; and when she was dressed as neatly as usual in her working-dress, with her hair tucked up under her little cap, an indifferent observer would have been more struck with the young roundness of her cheek and neck, and with the darkness of ber eyes and eye- lashes, than with any signs of sadness abeut her. But when she took up the

that she might leck it out of sight, hard, smarting tears, having no relief in them, as the great drops had that fell ‘ast night, forced their way into her eyes. She wiped them away quickly; she must not cry in

‘she was disappointed about anything; and

the thought that the eyes of her aunt and uwnele would be tpon her gave her the self-command which often ac- compatiies a dread, For Hetty looked out from her secret misery toward the possibil- ity of their ever knowing what had happen- ed, as the sick and weary prisoner might think of the possible pillory. They would ihink her conduct shameful, and shame was torture. That was poor little Hetty’s con- acience,

LETTERS

Sik,—In the Examiner of the 6th inst., I am made to say ‘‘that I would recommend either steam laurches or tugs.” What I wrote was that, observing that some of our members are advocating steam tugs, that | could not imagine what steam tug bi a's ere required for in that service, there being no towing to perform. But what wou!'d be necessary would be to have two small steam- ers, one on each side, strongly built and properly modelled for the service in which they will be used, and provided with good, warm, comfortable accommodations below decks, for the crews, as they will have to live on board all winter, these vessels to be from 80 to 100 feet on the keel.

And, as it is spoken of as having only one steamer to begin with, let us have one ; but I don’t believe the business can be cfii- ciently carried out without a boat on each side, for the reason that when the wind is off this side—that is N.E.—it soon makes a wide scope of water; and with heavy wird, arough sea on, at other times, with snow and frost, it forms into lolly and, in either case, the boats can’t face it, and the seme happens on the other side with winds off that shore ; and the steamers could work through the lolly with ease, and let the ice boats come out aud meet them at the edge of the field ice, exchange paseengers and mails, and each return to their own side.

Registry and Probate Offices.

Sir,—Our Local Legislature has met for the transaction of business, which, we trust, will be beneticial to the country. There are some matters connected with the work- ing of sore of the Public Offices which should receive the immediate attention of Parliament. Provision should be made for the completion of the revised indices in the Registry Office. I would also bring to the attention of the Government the fact that the indices now in use in the Registry Office are not completed from day to day as 1e- quired by law; but, on the contrary, the page of the register book is not filled in for months after an instument is recorded, thereby causing great inconvenience to the searcher, and loss ef time to the Registrar. The Registrar, I admit, has no time at his disposal to attend to this matter, and I would suggest that the Government employ aman to perform this work after office hours, for evidently the rush of business during oflice hours hinders its completion.

Some years ago the fees collected in the Prothonotary’s office were retaiued by the Prothonotary in lieu of salary. Since the year 1872, the Prothonotary has been paid a salary by the Government, and the fees collected have been paid inio the Public Treasury. A large amount has thus been saved to the Province.

I find that the old system still prevails in the Surrogate and Probate Office. The Surrogate collects all the fees for his own use. The business in this office is increas- ing year after year, and the revenue col- lected must now be a very handsome re- ward for the services performed. This system of paying public servants has been abolished years ago in every other civilized country. The fees collected under the Probate Acts are exorbitant, and it is about time that the Government should deal with this office as they dealt with the Prothonotary’s, and other offices where the barbarous custom above alluded to once prevailed. The Surrogste and Judge of Probate should be paid asalary, and the fees collected in his office should be paid into the Treasury. The Judge would then be more independent, and a person doing business in his office could, in case of dis- pute about fees, appeal without causing any ill-feeling. The Dominion Government have provided that any Judge who receives a salary payable out of the Dominion Treasury shail not receive or collect from any person any fees whatever. Similar provisions will be found on the statute books of the several States of the American Union. This rule should apply to this mn. A B.

Obituary. Siz,—The community here,and for miles around here, have been called upon to mourn the death of one who, though young in years, had, by his manly qualities, his kind and engaging manners, endeared him- self to all who had the pleasure of forming his acquaintance. I refer to ihe late Daniel McLeod, who departed this life on Tues- day, 3rd inst., at the residence of his father, Michael McLeod, Esq., Point Prim. Were we to look upon this sad bereavement with worldling’s eyes only, our first thoughts would naturally revert to the fact that it was but a short time previous to his illness that relatives and friends rejoiced with him in that he had been successful in obtaining & master mariners certificate. But although he hed, by good eonduet and closes attention te duty and study, fited himeeslf forths high and responsible post. tion, yet it pleased an All-wise Providehos to order that he should hever walk the

quarter deck 28 cominander of ¢ ship. Still, we are willing to bow to the

willof Him who dveth all things well. Nor have we cauee to mourn as those wit)- out hope; for not once during all the tedious days and still night watches of his painful illness, was he heard to murmur, but like a true christien he was submissive to the Master's Will, Knowing this, we fesl as: sured that our departed friendand brother has only answered the call, (come thou up higher) and that he has made the voyage over to that bright and shining shore, where the billows of suffering and sorrow cease to

luck i’ life. I’d like you to stay wi’ us till you’ve got a good husband; you’re my own niece, and I wouldn’t have you go to scr- vice, though it was a gentleman’s houee, as long as I’ve got a home for you,’
