‘LT beg pardon, Miss,’ said he, ‘does Herr Schmidt live here?’

‘Vos, sir: what is your pleasure Y

‘Ave you his daughter Bertha .

‘Tam.’

‘Then it is you thatI seek. from your father.’

‘For heaven’s sake, where is he? Something must have happened him— he has stayed away all night.’

‘The misfortune is not very great.’

‘Oh, my poor, poor, father ! what shall [ hear ?’

‘The young man seemod to observe these visible marks of anxiety with great interest. He said :

‘Do net be frightened ; it is nothing of great importance. Your father met last night an old acquaintance, who 1n- vited him to a tavern. They had sup- per together, but when the landlord came for his bill your father’s friend had decamped, and left him to pay the score. He had not sufficient money for this, and now the host will not let him go until he is paid, and declares that unless he gets his money he will send him to prison.’

‘To prison !’ exclaimed the girl. ‘Can you tell me how much the bill comes to?’

‘Three florins and a half.’

‘Oh, God,’ sighed the girl, ‘ANT have does not amount to one florin, but I will go to Madam Berg and beg of her to.advancé me the money.

The girl! Lurst into tears.

‘Tam afraid she will refuse. I al- realy owe her one florn aad she is very hard.’

‘Under these cireamstances I fear Madam Berg will not give youany. I possess nothing. Have you any valuables more ? Hereis one florin, but that is all upou which we could rise some money.’

Bertha considered for a moment.

‘[ have nothing,’ she said at length, ‘but my poor mother’s prayer book. Oa her death-bed she eatreated me not to

art with it, and there is nothing in the world I hold more sacred than her mem- ory andthe promise I gave her; but still, for my father’s sale, [ must not hesitate.’ With trembling hand she took the book down trom the shelf.

They went first to Madam Berg, who did not give the advance required but as- sured the young manthat Bertha was ae angel. Certainly this praise Mr. Traft. valued higher than the money he had asked. They .pawaed the book, and the required sum was made up. Sertha was overjoyed.

‘But ifyou spend all that money to day,’ remarked the young man, ‘on what wil! you live to-morrow.’

‘ [do zot know but, 1 trust in God. I shall work the whole night through,’

When they went to tho tavern, the young man went first to prepare old Mr. Schmidt for the part he wished him to act, thea he fetched Bertha. It is im- possible to describe the joy he felt when he saw the young girl throw herself into her father’s arms and press him to her heurt.

She paid the bill aud triumphantly led him home. ‘raft accompanied them and said he had a few more kreutzers in his poc cet; she had better go and get some- thing to cut. It was late before Traft went home that night; but the leap from the Main bridge was never more thought of.

About a fortnight after, as he was go- ing away one evening, he said to Bertha: ‘Will you become my wife? [am only a poor clerk, but Tam honest and up- riglit.’

Bertha blushed and cast her eyes to tLe ground.

A few days after the young couple, simply but respectably attired, and ac- cornprnied by Herr Schmidt, went to the church, where they were married in a quiet way. Whea they came out, man ani wife, an elegant carriage was stand- ing at the door, and a footman in rich livery let dowa the step.

‘Come,’ said the happy husband to his bewildered wife, who looked at him with amazement. '

Before she could ulter a word the three were seated ina carriage, driving away at a quick pace. The carriige stopped be‘ore a splendid house ia the best part of Frankfort.

‘This is your mistress,’ said Traft to th » servants, ‘and her command you have he sectorth to obey. My darling wife,’ said

Mr. David Marrow, of Summerside, was interviewed recently by the reporter of the Summerside Journal. Speaking of the ex- portation of eggs from the Island, Mr. Far- row said: ‘I shipped 57,900 dozen eggs this season. Mr. Beecher, when here last summer, wrote to his paper that he had beon informed that previously, in one year, there were as many as 1,800,- 000,000 dozen of eggs shipped from the Island, and that the hens were as willing to lay as ever, only for the tariff. I do not know what Mr. Beeeher meant as there is no duty on eggs in the States. I fee! confident that this year there must have been shipped from the Island, nearly 3,000,- 000 dozen of eggs, which, at twelve cents per dozen, would be $369,000—a sum much greater than the whele revenue of the Is- land. I¢ leoks like a small business, and the farmers do not ge inte hens as exten- sively as they ought. KHygs are the most profitable product of the farm ; and if the farmers paid more attention to their hens, and got the right breeds, they would make more money. ‘The Brahamas are generally the most profitable. The Black Spanish and White Legnorn are better layers, but not so good fer the table.

David Maclver, Esq., M. P., has sent to the press the following statement of his views in opposition to the Free Trade

policy of England :

Sir,—My views on what my opponents are good enough to call ‘‘reciprocity” (a word I seldom use, because it seems capable of various interpretations) being systematic- ally misrepresented, it is perhaps desirable to reiterate, with some persistency, what these views really are. Please, therefore, give insertion to this note, accompanied by the following extract from one of my letters, and continue it—as an advertisement—re- gularly once a week until until- further notice.

I am, sir, your obedient servant, Davin Maclver. Wanlass-how, Ambleside, Nove, 1879.

Frees Trado

I do not oppose free trade in any true sanso of the words ; but I maintain that the existing system of so-called free trade is only a ‘*Brumniagem’’ imposture. I don’t call it free trade’ to tax; as we do, tea and coffee from our own colonies, while importing any- thing and everything duty free from coun- tries which dsliberately keep out our manu- factures by prohibitory tariffs. Cheap food we must have ; but we could get that from our colonies, and why we should not trans- fer the burden of taxation from our own agriculturists and put it upen foreign im- portations passes my comprehension. In regard to imported mannfactures, our im- ports of ihe necessary articles are a mere trifle in regard to value, as compared with what we pay for luxaries like French woollens, loaf sugar and silks. These three itenis alone nrake up ‘$25,000,000 annually, and there are about £45,000,000 besides.

A 15 per cent. revenue duty upon the whole—remitted as regards those countries that would admit our wares duty free— would not merely yield a lot of money to go in reduction of other taxation, but would do a good deal to re-epen foreign markets to British manufactures. At all events, John Stuart Mill* thought so (see Philoso- phy of Political Economy, book V., chapter iy.); and Adam Smitht thought so (see ‘* Wealth of Nations,” bock LV. , chapter ii. ).

Free trade is right in theory, wherever the conditions are suitable ; but it has failed in practice, because the various nations of the world have separate interests, and are not, and never will be, ene family. Our present system only works grave injustice to British industries ; but we may still, if we are wise in time, become one family so far asthe British Empire is concerped, and bea great. tree trading nation within our- selves. We ought, I think, to put aside the teachings of the Cobden Club, and, in a business-like way, make the best we can, practically, of the circumstances in which we find ourselves placed.

e 45S | BATRA S + Davin Macliver.

*Mill’s words are :—-‘‘ A country cannot be expected to renounce the power of tax- ing foreigners unless foreigners will, in raturn, practice towards itself the same forbearance. The only mode in whicha country can save itself from being a loser by the revenue duties imposed by other countries on its commodities is to Impose corre ‘ponding revenue duties on theirs.”

+Adam Smith said : —‘‘ It must sometimes be a matter of deliberation how far it is proper to continue the free importation of certain foreign goods when some for- eign nations restrain by high duties the importation of some of our manufactures in their country.”

M’Culloch’s viewsin regard to reciprocal trade are also worth attention; and for the bentit of those who maintain that beyond all doubt every form of protection must necessarily be wholly wrong, it may be right to mention that Mill wrote (‘‘Princi- ples of Political Economy,” page 525, second vol., 5th edition : ‘*Protecting duties | may be defensible when -they are imposed | temporarily (especially in a youtig and ris- _ing nation) in hope of naturalising a foreign jindastry in itself perfectly suitable to the i circumstances of the country.”
