! ean not vay that the intertor of Hay- slope church was remarkable ¢ any thing cxXcept for the gray ege of its vaken pews--

great equare pews mostly, ranged on each side of a narrow aisle. It was free, indeed, 'feom the modern blemish of galleries. The |choir had two narrow pews to themselves in the middle of the right-hand row, so | that it was a short process for Joshua Rann 'to take his place among them as principal bass, and revurn to his desk after the sing- ing was over, The pulpit and desk, gray and old as the pews, siood on one side of the arch leading into the chancel, which also had its gray square pews for Mr. Don- nithorne’s family and servants Yet I assure you those gray pews, with the buff- washed walls, gave a very pleasing tene to this shabby interior, and agreed extremely well with the ruddy faces and bright waist- coats. And there were liberal touches of crimson toward the chancel, for the pulpit and Mr, Donnithorne’s own pew had hand- some crimson cloth cushions ; and, to close the vista, there was a crimson altar-cloth, embroidered with golden rays by Miss Lydia’s own hand.

But even without the crimson cloth,the effect must have warm and cheering, when Mr. lrwine was in the desk, looking ben- ignly around on that simple congregation—. on the hardy old men, with bent knees and shoulders perhaps, but with vigor left for much hedge-clipping aud thatching ; on the tall stalwart frames aud roughly-cut bronzed faces of the stone-eutters and carpenters ; op the haif dozen well-to-do farmers, with their apple-cheeked families; and on the clean old women, mostly farm-laborers’ wives, with their bit of snow-while cap- border under their black bonnets, and with withered arms, bare from the elbow, folded passively over chests. For nove of the old people held books—why should they ? none of them could read. But they knew a few

| ‘good words’ by heart, and their withered

lips now and then moved silently, following the service without amy very clear clear compreheusion indeed, but with a simple feith in its efficacy to ward off harm and bring blessing. And now all faces were visible, for all were standing up— the little children on the seats, peeping over the edge of the gray pews—while good old Bishop Ken’s evening hyron was being sung to one of those lively psalm tunes that died out with the last generation of rectors and choral parish-clerks, Melodies die out, like the pipe of Pan, with the cars that love them and listen for them. Adam was not in his usual place among the singers to- day, for he sat with his mother and Seth, and he noticed with surprise that Bartle Massey was absent too; all the more agree- able for Mr, Joshua Rann, who gave out his bass notes with unusual complacency, and threw an extra ray of severity inte the glances he sent over his spectacles at the recuzant Will Maskery.

I beseech you to imagine Mr. Irwine looking round on this scene, in his ample white surplice that became him so well, with his powdered hair thrown back, his rich brown complexion, and his finely cut nostril and upper lip; for there was a cer- tain virtue in that benignant yet keen coun- tenance, as there is in all human faces from which a generous soul beams out. And over all streamed the delicious June sun- shine through the old windows, with their desultury patches of yeilow, red aud blue, that threw pleasant touches of color on the opposite wall,

I think, as Mr. Irwine locked round te- day, his eyes rested a little longer than usual on the square pew occupied by Martin Poyser and his family. And there was another pair of dark eyes that found it impossible not to wander thither, aud rest on that round pink-and-white figure. But Hetty was at that moment quite careless of apy glances—she was absorbed iv the thought that Arthur Donnithorne would soon be coming into church, for the car- riage must surely be at the church gate by this time. She had never seen hin since she parted with him in the wood on 'Thurs- day evening, and oh! how long the time had seemed ' Things had gone on just the aime ag ever on that evening; the wonders that had happened then had brought no changes after them; they were already like adreaui., When she heard the church door swinging, her heart beat so she dared not! look up. She felt that her aunt was cour- tesying; she courtesied herself. That must be old Mr. Dennithorne—he always came first, the wrinkled stuall old man, peering round with short-sighted glances at the bowing and courtesyipg congregation ; then she knew that Miss Lydia was passing, and though Hetty liked so much to look at her fashionable little coal-scuttle bonnet, with the wreath of email

roses round it, she didn’t mind it to- | day. 'no, he was not come; she felt sare there was nothing else passing the pew door but the jhouse-keeper’s biack bonnet, and the iledy’s maid's beautiful straw that had once | been Miss Lydia's, and on the powdered ‘heads of the butler aud footway. No, he | Was nut there; yet she would look now— she might be mistakeu—for, after all, she | had net looked. So she lifted up her eye- | lids and glanced timidly at the cushioned | pew in the chaucel; but there was no one lbut old Mr. Donuithorne rabdine | epectacles with his white handke-chief, and

his

prayer-book. The chill disappo:ntwent was

‘too hard to bear; she felt he-self turning ‘pale, her lips trembling; she was ready to ‘ery. Oh, what should we do! Everybody would know the reason; they would know she was crying because Arthur was not there. And Mr. Craig, wit the wouderful hot-house plant in his button hole, was , Staring at her, she knew.

WATER AND WATER SUPPLIES.

MR,

,CONCLUSION OF MACDONALD S PAPER,

Time forbids me to dwell longer on this phase of the subject. I shall next proceed to consider briefy the second part, viz Other sources of supply proposed. Ist. ) Artesian Wells 1 see by Mr. Murdoch's ‘report that an attempt has been made in that direction here which proved a failure. |L cannot do better than read you the |opinions of Prof. Nichols, of the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology, respecting Artesian Wells. He says: —‘‘ In project- ing Attesian Wells for town supply, i is |important to know the geclogical character ‘of the locality where. the boring is to be made, and, as far as possible, the source of the water. Indeed, without a knowledge of the probable character of the particular locality, sinking « weil is like investing in a lottery, and hardly justifiable as a muni- cipal undertaking. Itis true many wells are sunk without the advice of competent authority, and some of them are successful; as a rule they end in failure.” He in- stances the St. Louis, Moc., weil, and points to it as instructive in this connection, having cost $10,000, and proving an utter faiiure. [fam not aware whether the par- ties whe attempted the work here were such ‘competent authorities’ or not. If they were se, it would, I think, be injudicious'to again renew the attempt.

The next mode of supply, and the more common one is river water conveyed by pipes. Here, also the question of purity is an all-important one. Before introducing into our city water from any river, the question should be definitely settled as to the wholesomeness of supply. ‘There are many persons,” says Prof. Nichols, “who suppose that the way to consult a chemist in 2 matter of water-supply is to send a sample of water in a sealed vessel, with no hint as to its source, and they ex- pect the results of the chemical examia- ation of the water to be accompanied hy a statement as to the wholesomeness of the water, or of the possibility of a wnger from its use. The chemical examination is of great service, and often indispensable, bur, except in cases of gross pollution it is im- possible to pronounce definitely on the water without a knowledge of the locality from which it is taken.” It may be seriously doubted whether Mr. Hayes, who analyzed the specimen sent him from Winter River had a suflicient ‘‘knowledge of the locality” to enable him to pronounce definitely as to the wholesomeness of the water. But tak- ing it for granted that the supply from Winter River at Cobbs’ is the best at our disposel and fairly yeod for domestic pur-

poses, were we last winter, or are we now, in «4 position to close with the offers of the Company

who had a Bill ot lucorporation before our legislature. | think wot. That Bill con- tained no provision for general distribu- tion, nor did it bind the company to any specific rates. The company were to take their chance of the distribution, whether partial or general. It was not contemplated by the Bijl to make the consumption of the supply indirectly imperative upon every householder in the city, inasmuch as it contained no guarantee on the part of the company that the public wells would be closed. Considering that our present water supply is universally admitted and proved to be in a polluted condition, it must be plain to everyone that as soon as good water is obtamed it would not continue optional with citizens to use it or not. The corporation would at any moment be liable to indictment or prosecution at the suit of any citizen who should conceive that the use of polluted well water had injured the health, or possibly caused the death,of any member of bis family; and, should he be able to sustain his case on sufticient medical testimony, heavy damages would be the result. Cases are known to have been brought against the corporation for alleged damages sustained owing to defec

tive sidewalks, and corporations have been sued and beavily = fined for this very offence of not closing

polluted sources of water, in Great Britain and elsewhere, quite frequently enough to form a precedent for any enterprising liti- gant in our midst. The city would, there fore. in its own protection, be obliged to close its polluted wells, or would be con:- pelled to do so by an injunction from the Supreme Court. It would then quickly follow, that every citizen would have no alternative but to use the supply offered him by the Company. Mr. Murdock says in his Report: “That for the sake of revenue as well, as health and protection against tire the whole city should be sup- plied as sovon after the works have gone

‘into operation a8 possible; that ‘any other

course would be injudicivus.” <A second and amore fatal objection to the scheme proposed by this Company is that it con- tained no estimate of cost of sewerage. {Now, gentlemen, if 1 have succeeded in |proving that the poisoning of soil and

‘ground air are practical and living issues, you will ayree with me that the sanitary condition of our city cannot be materially ‘improved without a complete system ot sewerage. It must be borne in mind that ‘the fow of water, carrying away the filth ‘incident to every household and establish- iment, from a city, conduces to cleanliness ‘aud health rather than the flow to a city, ihowever pure that water may be. Tho truth of the matter is that the health of auy lity is gauged by the perfectness or other: jwise of its sewerage.

(Here followed statistics uf twelve cities in England, with rates of mortality before ‘and after the introduction of drainage and ‘sewerage, showing a greatly reduced death- ‘rate owing to these improvements )

In these cities when sickvess prevails, some defect in the system of sewerage, is at once suspected, and the cause invariably discovered in connection therewith, and means taken promptly to remedy the de- fect. What must the state of that city be

with no sewers, with defective drains and stagnant pools of polluted water ponded on

the Gets sud juwest levels, the most usual
