The Ottawa ‘Free Press’ publishes the following direct despatch from Manitoba : A man named Rourke has arrived here from Fort Carleton. Ile reports that he was with Geologist Wells’ party when they | reached the elbow of the North Branch of | the Saskatchewan. The whole party were turned back by the Crees. Rourke says the trouble is wholly with the Indians, who | are dissatisfied becanse no treaty was made with them. General apprehension prevails through the country west of Carleton, | Traders are coming back, the Indians | everywhere insisting upon the whites not coming into their country till a treaty is made.

An American paper records the death of | an oldstime British tar, as follows :— Michael | McGerritt died near Waverly, lowa, on the 7th inst., at the age of $9. Ife was born in ireland, and received a classical education in the land of his birth. At an early age | he went on a man-of-war, and was afloat on the waters forty-two years. Le took an active part in the Crimean war; he also belonged to the crew that burned the ship |

EXxtTaaorpinary MARRIAGE OF A CinLp.— The Liverpool /’os/ of June 18, says :—An extraord:.nary marriage has been celebrat- ed in the Church of St. Woollos, Newport, between a girl named Elizabeth Jones of | the tender age of thirteen years, and a/|

i

young mn of twenty-three years of age. — The husband is supposed to be a street

preacher from Britonferry, and the child. wife is a daughter of Mr. Evan Jones, a storekeeper at the Vernon Tin Works. On Sunday night last the two met at Neath Station, and proceeded to Newport, where they were joined by a sister of the young man. The latter had not disclosed the purpose which he bad in view to his relative and wher she heard it she uttered an in- dignant remonstrance, refused to attend the church and returned to her home. On proceeding tothe church the following ing morning, the bridegroom explained the absence of attendants by informing the clergyman that His sister had been taken

suddenly unwell. The service was then accomplished,and a little girl thirteen yea: of age married by 2 mi of the Chua

| of England. The child-wife after ds

turned to her parents, who were much dis tressed at her absence, and informed them

what had happened.

juice was ‘ound to contain a considerable |

proportion of poisonous virus, a discovery | which naturally led to a close examination | of the tree from which the fruit had been After inspecting the leaves, the | branches, even the bark, with no scientific } results, one of the examining party sug- | gested that the roots should be uncovered. ‘ This being done, the origin of the poison at once came to light. Leing anxious to en- rich the soil of the orenard, the gardeners had buried dead dogs under many of the trees, including the one on which the deadly peaches had grown. Under its roots lay the carcass of a defunct pariah proved by ap- pearances to have died of hydrophobis. After the discovery there could be no doubt about the source from which the {ruit de- rived its poisonous qualities. The virus of | hydrophobia had first impregnated the soil, next the sap of the tree, and subse uently | transmitted itself to the fruit. Yet the} poison appears to have lost some of its | power in transit, since itis related that the three patients and all recovered.”’

CHAPTER II.

It was the beginning of winter when the travellers stopped at the ferryman’s cabin, and long after their departure a wake of brightness seemed reflected on the stream of his existence. He had been strengthens

had bound himself, and he already walked a firmer tread and move elevated bearing. At night, by the blaze of the pine-wood knot, he sat down by the hearth Mareus conned his classic lessons

in his arms, seemed to infuse into his heart

The shout of the traveller was often heard borne seross the river by the breeze of night, but no one like the generous Bel. lamy and his sweet-faced wife came to

‘IIe said he wou'd return in about six months,’ said he to himself, while appar- ently absorbed in the contents of a book. ‘Sore than two have already passed.

Mareus studied with an enthusiasm he had never manifested before. The words of the beautiful lady were ever thrilling his memory and inciting him to new exertions Then, his fatfier’s regeneration, with what joy and gratitude did it inspire him! It is true, he had abstained before, and again relapsed; but it seemed impossible now that he would ever sink again into the abyss of shame from which he had emerged. Never since he had dwelt in that little sabin had he felt so happy in the present

A new source of

opel the future. enjoyment also opened to him. Asa reward | ; extraordinary progress in| the classics, his father had allowed him to | com the reading of Shakspeare, which was one of the rich gems saved from the general wreck. The boy felt as if he were in the midst of the glories of 2 new crea

tion, eemed to him that he was an ins sirument with ten thousand keys, which | the mighty master of the human heart was touching at his will, waking the thunder- ing notes of passion or the mellow strains | of tenderness and love. Boy as he was, he felthe knew them all; and in every lovely heroine he traced a similitude to his beautiful benefactress. ile thought not, nor cared not, that she was older than these ideals. He clothed the young and im- passioned Juliet with her pale and spiritual loveliness; the tender Cordelia with her matchless grace , and in imagination the gentle Desdemona spoke in her silver ac- cents. Little did Mrs, Bellamy imagine the deep worship she had inspired, the | romantic reverential devotion pledged to her cause by this youthful devotee. She was henceforth to him the Star of the Last, that was to lead him onward to glory But Mareus had too much | io accomplish, too great an object before | him to indulge too long in these ideal plea- sures, whatever the fascination might be He would start up with a desperate reso- ‘lution, shut the book, run into the kitchen where Uncle Simon and Aunt Milly were chatting covily together, and seizing the | bundle of osiers Uncle Simon was sure to have ready for him, would either sit down a while by these two faithful friends, while | his fingers wove the smooth white withes together, or return to the cabin, and snateh~ ‘ing up his book, lay it open on the table,

As Katy had told | Mrs. fellamy, he did not like to have it| | known that he employed himself in this | manner, because he thought it an unmanly oceupation; but as Aunt Milly disposed of | them for him, he was not ashamed of works ing at home in this manner for the holy purpose for which he intended to devote his gains. Uncle Simon, the lame negro, whom Katy held in such veneration, was a constant visitor at the cabin, and vied with Milly in devotion to these interesting child- ren. Ile was nearly an exempt in con- sequence of his age and lameness, and had the greatest part of his time at his own disposal. Aunt Milly washed and mended his clothes for him, and in return, he was always bringing some acceptable offering

‘Now, young master,’ said Simon when Mareus with his soul still echoing to the sounding strains of the bard of Avon, was flying out of the kitchen, with his arms entwined with osiers, ‘ please sit down and talka little toold Simon, ‘That's right— that’s a cleber master.

Ilis re- ligion, blended, as it is, with the most in- tense superstition, sometimes gives a tone of sublimity to his thoughts, in the midst of the most ludicrous associations, He sees the ghost flitting through the midnight shades of the dark pine woods, and hears the wailing of the lost spirit in the notes of the melancholy whippoorwill and the hoots ing of the solemn owl. There is an African mythology as well as a Grecian and pagan one, and the negro’s nightis peopled by shapes which would puzzle the most inge- nious statuary to fashion, or the most in- ventive artist to delineate.

Winter glided away peacefully and mo. notonously at the ferryman’s cabin, and the gentle, almost impreceptible approach of a southern spring was felt rather than seen. The turbid waters looked clearer and bluer, the holly-trees had a brighter, deeper green, and the music of birds began to vocalize the lonely margin of the waters

g| which should not be permitted to rest. The argument in favor is very strong, on political, financial and social grounds, and the people interested need only to have the e | matter kept before them in a proper man-~ ner to become fully and sufficiently im- pressed with the advantages to be secured t| by sucha measure. We would hope that those who have undertaken to promote the scheme in the Legislature and in the Press will not allow their efforts to slacken, but will show by their earnestness, there in. formation and their persistency that, having studied the subject in all its bear- ings and fully weighed its great importance they are prepared to make some sacrifice of time and effort to bring about a consumma- tion which many of the most intelligent of the people already regard as most desirable and which all who are interested are willing to consider on its merits. To the MWafch- man, it would appear that the advantages to be secured by a maritime Union are mainly three-fold, as already stated—finan.~ cial, political, and social; this however, not being strictly the order of their ims portance.

1. Doubtless the several Provinces will be at less expense in conducting the affairs of the country under one certral Legislature than under three. There will certainly be fewer high oflicers needed, though their salaries will be higher. There certainly will ge fewer Governors and Govy ernment Llouses to maintain. Mr. Willis’ estimates on this part of the subject seem fairly made up, though probably under the mark as regards the cost ; and with the establishment of Municipal Corporations in Counties, which should accompany, if not precede, the Union movement, there ought to bea very considerable saving in that portion of the public expenditure which is absorbed by those who are now engaged in overseeing similar departments in these separate Government establishments. Too great stress, however, should not be laid upon the financial and economical aspect of the subject; for, although maintaining that the buisness of the the three Provinc- es can be more cheaply managed by one Government than by three, we would also mantain that if the other advantages can be secured atno greater outlay for some years to come than is now disbursed, the Provinces interested will be largely the gainers.

2. The political advantages we hold to be very important. The Maritime Provinc- es now lack a community of interest and i hey are as much divided and Their

sentiment. separate as before Confederation. Legislatures, their public men, their press, all regard public questions very g@nerally from opposite points. We still have our “ Nova Scotia questions,” and our “New Brunswick questions, our “Nova Scotia in- terests ’’ New Brunswick interests,” and “ Prince Edward Island interests.” Each Province still grabs for itself what it can of public appropriations,its Parliamentry repre: sentatives too frequently regarding them- selves as fortunate when they can secure grants in which the representatives of the other Provinces can not possible share. In Parliament the Jine of division is apparent

ly strictly mantained and governments too often finds our neighbors in a position to play off ore sectional delegation against an- other. What we need is unity of political sentiments; unity of action ; consideration of public questions from a stand point which has regard to the interests of all the Maritime Provinces ; @ determination to draw together the scatterei maritime ele~ ments ; a disregarding and discountenape. ing of sectional cries ; @ resolution to up- hold public men who battle for Maritime rights ; treatment of all public appropria- tion in the Maritime Provinces on their | merits and in connection with their gen-

j

of a political sentiment which, fusing our people into one common political body and uniting us at home will make ‘Acadia” more respected at Ottawa and render im- possible such treatment as the Marilime Provinces have recently suffered at the | hands of railway officials who have no inter- est in our prosperity and only regard our | resourses as the vandals regarded the riches which they found in ancient Rome. | 3. The social and sentimental gains to aecrue from a Maritime Union we regard as of great moment, We ought to feel, and we will feel, when we have thrown down the barriers which protect separate legis- lation, distinct public records and Provinci- al histories, that we are entering upon a common heritage of fame, and will enjoy a common pride of country, not merely for the future but in regard to the pastas well. We in New Brunswick will feel that the many distinguished Nova Scotians who have made a memoratle name on the battlefield, in the navy of the Empire, in literature and public life, are “ours” also; and the “garden of Nova Scotia,” the glorious valley of the Annapolis —the grand scenery of Cape Breton—the renown and wealth of Halifax | — the enterprise of Yarmouth. and indeed |

| “ours’’-—that the beauty of Priuce Edward | Island, the splendid agricultural capabilities of a country too long enthralled in the semi serfdom involved in absentee lands _lordism, the bright prospect of future pros» perity that there looms up, are as much | ours as theirs.
