SELECTED BY FEMALE CORRESPONDENT.
THE CANISTER.

The first accents which Adela St Pierre ever
heard from the lips of her parents, were those by
which they taught her to honor God and her knees
were bent and her hands clasped in the attitude of
devotion long before it possible for her to know
the object of prayer. They loved indeed to see her
rehearse those scenes of piety, which, they trusted,
she would act on the stage of life. She lived with
them, therefore, as in temple, and soon felt every
where that fear of doing wrong, which even the
worst will sometimes feel in places sacred to rell-
gion. Those who are the fttest for eternity seem
often to be first called to the enjoyment oft Her
father died suddenly of fever, when she was ten
years DID, and her mother did not long survive him.
The desire of her parents had been, that Adela
should be sent, for the completion of her education,
to the place of her birth-a spot less retired and
romantic than her own favorite villa, Elora and
where person resided every way fitted for the
task 1t was there she became an enthusiast in
nature, and it was there she made her own those
principles which the last breath OF parent had be
queathed her. She at first respected religion for
their sakes, and then loved it for its own At the
age of eighteen, however, she was summoned to
the house Of one of her relations, who had under
taken the charge of her. He was singular III
no respect; but one, who living in capital, walk
ed with the great herds Of it, neither bending to the
right hand nor to the left to take unusual step in
the way of virtue.
rs Adela quilted those oaks which, from child,
had waved their broad arms over her in defiance Of
the tempest, she thought whether the world would,
amidst its storms, provide herwith friends such
These and as they bowed their tall heads to the
passing wind, she acknowledged it as sort of 81

were OF SO vigorous constitution, that they were
sure soon to awake and arise and make themselves
felt. If she had married man without religion, it
was not because she for moment undervalued it,
but because she ignoranty imagined religion to be
too excellent to have few friends or at least De Val
cour too good not to be amongst them. If she ever
suspected him, she yet charged his failings to the
vehemence of his nature and his want opportunity.
Love- she said, with you, my De Valcour, is the
best school of piety and if have his heart in my
hands, can not mould it as will p Love has Of
ten been called a delirium ;-and as, when fever
is off, the body feels doubly its first weakness and
disease, the soul is much itself, Or the
conscience so delicate and severe, when this men
tai delirum has, in any degree, cooled. To this
state Adela was brought by marriage 1t had not
diminished her affection, but had sobered it, and
thus restored it to what it was Although De Val
cour was far too watchful of her happiness to give
any direct wound to her feelings still there is in re-
lg'on or i1relgion, kind of omnipresence, by
which they are seen and felt in every thing which
their possessors say do. She saw, therefore,
that if she attempted to touch the string of religion
there within him nothing which answered;
that whilst she hoped to walk stranger and pill
grim in this world, he made it his home that if he
did right, frequently without motive, or from
false one. 1t was plain also that he did not love
her for her pety, but rather winked at that he
viewed it as kind of dead weight, which her other
exceencies alone could balance But Adela loved
De Valcour with devoted fondness and she bent
every nerve to the task of retaining him; she
sometimes attempted to force but oftener to softer,
a way to his heart-and she never forgot to be
wife because he was not christian She hoped that
there was some modification of an ambitious mind,
by which it might aspire to union with God; and
that the eye which reioiced in every vast object,
would naturally rest itself upon eternity. But she
was deceived. Religion seemed, in his eyes, to de-
grade every thing which it touched Although he
looked above the world, he never looked to heaven.
For some years then, he met her arguments and her
affection when employed in the service OF religion,
with almost equal insensibilty Nor was this all 1t
was impossible for such mind as his to find sta
tonarv point and there was, therefore, scarcely
any place for him between all enthusiast and an IN
6del In short time he found his little belief
burden to him. and he became the last have said
with how lofty nature he was endowed. His hopes
and projects were such as might be expected from
one thus constituted, and did not accommodate them
selves to the dull realities of life Shall we wonder
then, that the visions he sought continually eluded
his grasp This by degrees, however, soured his
disposition and as the space between the opposite

ing look behind, which they cast who passing
from one world to another But she was at age
when our opinions sit loosely upon us =; and when,
if the feelings seem to take deeper hold, still they
ready to quit it for any new object 1t is not
matter of surprise, therefore, if she had not been
long placed in her new residence when she began
to feel the influence of that fascination which the
walls of great city are known to exercise upon
those whom they encrcle. The child of solitude,
indeed, usually goes into the world unfit for the
conflicts of it. AS Adela had always been accus-
toned to find her pleasures in the field of her du-
ties she ventured to separate them; and thus,
not suspecting that what seemedth the happiest might
not always be the best, she did not scrupulously
examine the amusements proposed to her. And be-
SIDES she had now exchanged the rocks and trees,
her former companions for living creatures, she
caught something of the surrounding animation,
and began rather to court dissipation than to retreat
from it.
During this time, although the principles she had
at first learned filled large place in her eye
ever, she naturally did not call them up to her view
as frequently as before. She had not indeed aban-
doned them; but she had in degree laid them by,
little thinking that negligence is scarcely less fatal
to them than abuse In this fatal hour Monsieur de
Valcour was introduced. He was a man to whose
person and mind nature had given the most noble
and masculine features but she could not climb to
Heaven to steal for him that sacred fire, without
which, man had better have continued to slumber
amidst his fellow atoms in the dust. Religion, how
ever, was scarcely missed in him.
-From whose lips
Flowed eloquence, which, like the vows of love,
Could steal away suspicion from the hearts
Of all who listened.''
Adela, who had studied man only in solitude, view
ed him she would any other production ofnature
and, if the fruit appeared fair, at pronounced
the tree to be good.
| Every thing in the mind of De Valcour upon
a large scale. His passions strong, his imagi-
nation warm, and his energy ever awake. 1t per-
haps arose from this, that every day gave birth to
some new scheme, and that he seemed restless, till
some object or employment was found vast enough
to seize upon his mind and fill it. His quick per-
cepton of merit placed him at the side of Ade
la and his ardour and attractions in two months
made her his wife AS they stretched their hands
across the altar, he said, in that fgurave language
| which was peculiar to him-s1he flames lighted

what he is pleased to call my "aleged expec-
tation" that the letters referred to in my tes-
timony as having passed between himself and
Col. Stephenson, woald have been communi-
Gated to the House, under one or other Of the
resolutions of February, 1922.
"As the resolutions" says he, "under which
it is alleged these letters should have been
communicated, call only fer The correspon-
dence between certain banks and the Secre-
tary, 1t is unnecessary to explain why, among
the letters which were communicated, any

to imagine how any one, informed Of the tenor
of those resolutions, should have entertained
the expectation OF seeing the letters in ques-

part OF the subject, it may be useful to advert
to my testimony before the Committee. In
