Class Hotel Now all who wish to see this pleasant little ctty of Charlottetown awake from its century ot dilapidation and sleepiness, aud take its proper rank among the beautiful cities of Canada, must acknow ledge that a First-Class Hotel is a ceces- sity, and, being anecessity, it must, if carried ou in a business-like manuver. become a fiaaucially, both directly and indirectly, to its originators. In Halifax, the Heasleins have made three very snug fortunes by carryiug on s good ho‘el, and now that our Island is beviuniog to attract maoy wealthy travel- fers from the numerous cities of the States aod Canada, scattered south and there seems to be uo enierprisivg hotel manager new

Mr. GLADSTONE in a recent speech de- | clared that he would stand behind no wan in tle value he attached to the iriendship of Germany.

The germ of “Adam Bede’ was an anecdote told me by my Methodist Aunt | Samuel (the wife of my father’s younger brother)--an ancedote from ber own ox" | perience. We were sitting together one! afternoon during her visit to me at Griff, | probably in 1839, or 1840, when it vccurred tu her to te!l me how she had visited a eon-! demrcd criminal, a very ignorant girl, who | had murdered her child and refused to con- fess; bow the had stayed with her praying | through the night,and how the poorcreatu e | at lest breke out into tears and co: fessed |

I am uncertain whether his doubts rested solely on Hetty’s relation to Arthur, or whether they were also directed towards the treatment of Methodism by the church. I refused to tell my story beforehand, on the ground that I would not have it judged apart from my treatment, which alone de- termines the moral quality of art; and unti- mately I proposed that the notion of pubdli- cation in Moga should be given up,and that the novel should be published in three
