‘How much money has she got, mother?’ asked Arabella.

‘About ten thousand dollars, 1 believe. That would be quite a good thing for us.’

‘It would be fur me,’ said Arabella. ‘ Then 1 could buy a lovely silk just like Julia ‘Thom pson’s.’

There was one other child besides Arabella and Sam— Mary, coming between them, and now thirteen years ofage. She was extremly different from the other two, being altogether

At five o’clock in the afternoon the covered depot carriage drove up to the gate, anda little old lady dressed in black was helped out by the driver.

Mrs. Simpson ran out to the gate and wore the appearance of being exceedingly gratified tosee ber venerable relative.

‘How do you do, Aunt Llannah? she said extending her hand,

The old lady put up her hand te her ear and said, ‘Speak louder, l’m a little bard of hearing.’

* How do you do?’ said Mrs. Simpson in a louder tone.

* Yes, it’s @ fine day,’ said the old lady.

* How do you do?’ exclaimed Mrs. Simpson at the top of her voice.

* Pretty well,’ said Aunt Hannah, at last making out to hear. ‘ I hope your re all well.’

‘Very well, thank you,’ screamed Mrs.

‘ Well, I don’t pretend to be so good as you. |

In the midst of all this, Aunt Hannah continued serenely to eat her supper, appar- ently very well satisfied with herself and the world.

* Where is Aunt Hannah going to sleep?’ asked Bella.

‘ Going to have your chamber,’ said Mrs. Simpson.

‘ and where am I to go?’ asked Arabella in @ tone of discontent.

‘ Into the little upper room.’

* That is quite impossible,’ said her mother decisively. ‘ Didn't! tell you how important it is to treat her well. We must make her think we are glad to have her with us, and get her to feel at home. If we do there’sa good chance of her remembering us in ber will.

* Ifshe does, we’ll move into a nicer house,’ wont we mother?’ asked Sam.

‘I don’t know. We wont countour chick- ens before there hatched.’

The next morning Mrs. Simpson said, ‘I have engayed a carriage to take us to the city this morning.’

‘O, that’s prime,’ said Sam.

‘But we can’t all go,’ said his mother. ‘Five would be too great a squeeze.’

‘I don’t believe Aunt Hannah will care about going,’ said Bella. You can leave her at home.”

‘That would be a very bright plan,’ said Mrs. Simpson sarcastically. ‘ A fine chance we'd have for her money if we neglected her like that.’

Hovse or Commons, Ottawa, Camada, April 4th, 1868.

My Lorp,—During the Irish debate in the | Imperial Parliament, on the 10th day of last month, the report of which has just reached us, you did me the high honor to refer to my public position in this country, and to point | your testimony to the loyalty of the Irish in- | habitants of Canada, by the use of my humble | name.

| lam, my Lord, deeply sensible of the very | handsome manner in which you then spoke of | myself personally ; and of the just tribute you | paid to the class of colonists to which I have ithe honor to belong; and I trast your Lord- 'ship will not feei that | have taken an ill way a my gratitude by iuflicting on you this etter.

| It has forced itself on my mind that I owe |it to your Lordship, as an eminent Irishmau jiu the Imperial service, as well as to dear eld |lrelaud, and in some degree to Canada also, |to explain in a few sentences the sense in | Which aloue I could receive the high personal | compliment you have paid me, with unmixed | Satistaction.

Uur country, my Lord, in the Dominion Canada, with their desceudants, are a full | third of the four millions of Her Majesty's North American subjects. In religion they are nearly half-and-half—Protestants and Catholics. Though few can be calied wealthy, the majority of both creeds are proprietors iu town or country. In the city I represent | (Montreal) their aggregate property, acquired mostly in this generation, 1s valued at many millions of dollars. In the rural parts there ace literaily thousands of them, who possess their holdings in fee, and unincumbered. The best specimens of both classes are among the most meritorious members ot Canadian society. Property has made them conservative in the

| truest sense—conservative of character, and

zealous to uphold the law. The generous national temperament, shrivelled and cankered by hopeless penury at home, has renewed its youth with us, and keeps putting forth fruits of public and private good, to the great satisfae- tion of every lover of this country. Without havirg acquired the feverish thirst for riches, the love ot empty show, or the ill-understood demccratic notions of so many of the Irish in the neighboring republic, our settlers here will be admitted by all who know equally well both sides of the boundary line to be as warmly interested in the good repute and good geveru- ment of their beloved fatherland as any set of men can be, at home or abroad.

As a general rule—an almost unexceptioned rule—both classes in town and country, while unmistakabiy Irish, are, at the same time, as loyal to British American institutions, as thoroughly content with the Goverument under which they live—the Imperial connexion in- eluded—as any other portion of our population, of whatever faith or origin. Being one of the members of the Parliament and Government of this country for some years past, I have felt it to be my first duty to strengthen and extend this patriotic spirit, for their own good and the good of our adopted country; and in doing so i have felt bound necessarily to resist and com- bat the inviduous and incessent efforts to the contrary, of the secret Lrish societies establisb- ed during the civil war, at New York. When those societies have given you so much trouble, even on your side of the Atlantic, your Lord- ship may imagine what efforts they must have put forth in these British Provinces, one-third Irish, and within one day’s reach uf their head- quarters.

Our countrymen in Canada, my Lord, do not so much regard the American Feniaa leaders as enemies of England, but rather as enemies of Canada and enemies of Ireland We see in them not so much regulators of Irish wrongs as impediments to Jreland’s re- construction. Those of us who are Catholica, living in and by our holy faith, and to this particular hostility to Fenianism, a reoted horror of all secret societies, 80 frequently condemned and anathematised by the Church Knowing, moreover, what mauner of men the American organizers usually are—seeing the wanton misery they have caused their dupes ‘at home ’’—and the dishonor they have brought on the Irish name everywhere—the very sound of Fenianism is detested with us, save and except by a few characterless desper- adoes among the floating population of our principal cities.

But I cannot conceal from your Lordship that uo lay advocacy, and no ecclesiastical in- tlueuce, could have kept our countrymen here loyal and at peace, if this country were govern- ed as Ireland has beeu during the 68 years oz her legislative union with Great Britian. Everything our emigrants find in Canada is very unlike everything they left belind them in Ireland. We have here no established Church, no system of tenancy at wili, no poor laws, norany need of them. We have instead, complete religious equality among all our Churches, a general acquisition of property as the reward of well-directed industry, the fullest iocal control of our own resources and re- venues; our collegiate and primary education ; our public works; our militia, marine, and courts of justice. Therefore, my Lord, we are loyal to the Queen in Canada, and well con- tent, as well we may be, with the Government of this courtry.

It is not for me, at this distance from Tre- land, and in the absence recent of receat Irish experience, to make the application of this example, or so much of it as can be applied, to the very different condition of Ireland. I but state the facts ef the Irish position in these Provinces for your Lordship’s meditation as am Imperial adviser of the Crown, as I have already had the honor to do more fully, last year, while in London, to your illustrous late leader, the Karl of Derby, and in 1865, when in Dublin, to Lord Kimberly—then Lord Lieutenant. | J must not, however, assume that the pase-
