‘The same man who forged the newspaper extracts to deceive you forged the promis- sory note years ago, and the man who is setting spies on you is the man who forged these extracts; so we are sure to nail him.

my fellow-clerks, and boasting that nobody could take him in with a feigned signature. Bets were laid: our vanity was irritated by his pretension. It was my fortune to over- hear my young master and his friend Ro-

‘bert Penfcld speak about a loan of two thou-

|to the tempter, and wrote a forged note for

sand pounds. Inan evil hour I listened that amount. I took it to Mr. Penfold; he presented it to Adams, and it was cashed. I intended, of course, to call next day and tell Mr. Penfold, and take him to Adams, and restore the money gnd get back the note. It was not due for three months, Alas! that very day it fell under suspicion. Mr. Penfold was arrested. My young master was struck down with illness at his friend’s guilt, though he never could be quite got to believe it; and 1,— miserable coward! —dared not tell the truth. Ever since that day I have been a miserable man. The other day I came into money and left Wardlaws service. But I carry my remorse with me. Madam, I am come to tell the truth. I dare not tell it to Mr. Wardlaw; I think he would killme. But I will tell it to you, and you can tell it to him; ay tell it to all the world. Let my shame be as public as his whom I have in- jured so deeply, but, Heaven knows, unin- tentionally. I—I—I--’

Mr. Hand sank all in a heap, where he sat, and could say no more.

Helen’s flesh crawled at this confession, and at the sight of this reptile who owned that he had destroyed Robert Penfold in fear and cowardice. For a long time her wrath so overpowered all sense of pity, that she sat trembling; and if eyes could kill, Mr. Hand would not have outlived his con- fession.

At last she contrived to speak. She

and said, sternly :

‘Are you prepared to make this state- ment on paper, if called on?’

Mr. Hand hesitated, but said *Yes.’

‘Then write down that Robert Penfold was innocent, and you are ready to prove it whenever you may be called upon.’

‘Write that down ! said Hand.

‘Unless your penitence is feigned, you will.’

‘Sooner than that should be added to my crime, I will avow all! He wrote the few lines she required.

‘Now your address, that I may know where to find you at a moment's notice,’ He wrote, ‘J. Hand, 11 Warwick Street, Pimlico.’

Helen then dismissed him, and wept bitterly. In that condition she was found by Arthur Wardlaw who comforted her, and, on hearing her report of Hand’s con- fession, burst out into triumph, and re- minded her he had always said Robert Pen- fold was innocent. ‘My father,’ said he, ‘must yield to this evidence, and we will lay it before the Secretary of State, and get his pardon.’

‘His pardon ! when he is innocent |’

‘Oh, that is the form—the only form. The rest must be done by the warm recep- tion of his friends. 1, for one, who all these years have maintained his innocence, will be the first to welcome him to my house an honored guest. What am [ saying! Can I? Dar I? Ought I} when my wife—Ah! I am more to be pitied than my poor friend is; my friend, my rival. Well, I leave it to you whether he can come into your husband’s house.’

‘Never.’

‘But at least, I can send the ‘Springbok’ out, and bring him home; and that | will do without one day’s delay.’

‘Oh, Arthur!’ cried Helen, ‘you set me an example of unselfishness,’

‘I do what I can,’ said Arthur. saint. I hope for a reward.’

Helen sighed. ‘What shall I do?

‘Have pity on me/ your faithful lover, and to whom your faith was plighted before ever you saw or knew my unhappy friend.

What can I do or suffer more than I have done and suffered for you! My sweet Helen,

Russian Beef in England.

The steamer Neptune arrived in St. Katharine’s dock, on Saturday, after a run of four days from Libau, North Russia, with about 800 sides of beef, one half of which was sold at Smithfield b: fore ten o'clock the same day, the other half being kept for yesterday’s market. The quality of this beef is reported to be very sveperior, and those who frequently eat it say that, neither from appearance nor taste can it be distinguished from vrime English beef. It is different to other imported beef, because it is never actually frozen, The cattle are purchased onthe steppes of Russia, con- veyed by rail some 750 miles to Libau, then slaughtered by English butchers in premises properly constgucted alongside the vessel, and placed on board the steamer, the holds of which are cooled by a system of cold air created by an in- genious arrangement of ice and salt. The temperature is kept at about thirty- two degrees to thirty-six degrees on the passage across to London, so that while the meat is hung from hooks perfectly coo), it does not lie in frozen masses like meat brought on longer voyages with a refrege- rating process; nor does it turn or lose its color before or after cooking. This steamer brought ten cargoes during last summer and autumn with equal success as to quality and rapidity, and, seeing how readily it eells, no doubt is eaten by many who, from prejudice, would not touch foreign meat if they knew it. As prime joints can be sold by the retailed at 9d. per ib., at a good profit, and so much mutton is being imported from our colonies and the River Plate ports, it is no wonder why meat should remain so dear.—London Globe.

Says the Quebec Chronicle: The wife- beater has got to “‘go.’ He has had his day long enough, and it is pleasing to know that he isto get his just deserts, A bill has just passed the Massachusetts Legis- lature providing that these gentry shall be righteously flogged by the Keeper of the House of Correction in the county where the offence occurs. Brutal husbands will tind that a dose of their own medicine will not prove agreeable to their tastes. The ‘‘cat” is a wonderful panacea for crimes like garroting and wife-beating. It is a degrading form of punishment, and those whe have experienced it say that it hurts. The crime of wife-beating, however, is even more degrading, and to use the lash on those amenable to such discipline 1s only fair and proper, and quite in keeping with the fitness of things. We hope that every State inthe Union will adopt the Massa- chusetts statute. We still use the ‘‘cat” in Canada, and for some crimes there is no better implement of punishment. There are some men so dead to every moral feel- ing that they can only be reached by per- sonal] chastisement, and for such cases the lash only onght to be used. ee

For the eight weeks ending with Febru- ary 23rd, the Grand Trunk traflic receipts fell off $200,000, or at the rate of $1,300,- 000 per annum. Though through traftic shows a decline, yet the largest falling off is in the local traffic. When it is under- stood that the wheat crop in the Province of Ontario alone is 20,000,000 bushels less than last year, the loss of railway traflic roin this cause is enormous. Taking 400 bushels to the car, this is equivalent to 50,000 carloads of freights, besides being a loss to the farmer of, say, $20,000,000. Though freights from New York to Liver- pool are as low as one penny per bushel, yet the exports of breadstufls are less than a year ago. Since January Ist exports aggregated $51,891,272, against $70,306,- 235 for the corresponding period of 1883.— Montreal Star.

The effect of Mr. Gladstone’s new fran- chise bill will be greater in lreland than in Great Britaio. The bill proposes to extend the household franchise of the boroughs to the entire couritry. There was some hesi- tation as to extending its scope to Ireland, but on demand of Mr. Parnell and his fol- lowers it was done. Household franchise does not now exist in Ireland, where one out of twenty-three of the population can vote for a member of Parliament, while in The discrepancy between the two countries is even greater in the municipal elections. In England one out of six and a-half can vote in these, while in Ireland the propor- tion is one out of fifty and a-half of the whole population. The bill of Mr. Glad- stone does not deal with the municipel vote, but only with the vote for members of Parliament. ————— ee
