CHAPTER XII.
CORNELIUS VAN BAERLE's WILL.

Rosa had not been mistaken; the Judges
came on the following day to the Buiten-
hof and proceeded with the trial of Cor
nelius Van Baerle The ex animation.
however, did not last long, it having APP
peared on evidence that Cornelius had
kept at his house that correspondence OF
the brothers De Witt with France.
He did not deny it.
The only point about which there
seemed any difficulty was, whether this
correspondence had been intrusted to him
by his godfather Cornelius De White.
But as, since the death of the martyrs,
Van Baerle had no longer any reason for
Withholding the truth, be not only did
not deny that the parcel had heen deliv-
cred to him by Cornelius De White him
self, but he also stated all the circumstan
ces under which it was done.
This confession involved the godson in
the crime Ct the godfather; manifest com
plcity being considered to exist between
Cornelius De Witte and Cornelius Van
Baerle.
The honest doctor did not confne him
selfto this avowal. but told the whole
truth with regard to his own tastes, hab>
its, and daily life He described his in
difference to politics, his love Of study, OF
the fine arts, Of science, and of flowers.
lie explained that, since the day when
Cornelius De Witte handel 10 him the
parcel at bort, he himself had never
touched, nor even noticed it.
To this it was objected, that in this re-
spect he colld not possibly be speaking
the truth, since the papers had been de-
posted in = press, in which both his
hands and his eyes must have been en-
gagged every day.
Cornelius answered that it was indeed
so; that, however, be never put his hand
into the press, but to ascertain whether
his bulbs were dry, and that he never
looked into it, but to see if they were be-
ginning to sprout
To this again it was objected, that his
pretended Indifference respecting this de-
post was not to be reasonably entertain
ed, as he could not have received such
papers from the hand of his godfather
without being made acquainted with their
important character
He replied that his godfather Cornelius
loved him too well, and, above all, that
he was too considerable a man TO have
communicated to him anything of the con-
tents of the parcel, well knowing that
such a confidence would only have caused
anxiety to him who received it.
To this it was objected, that if De White
had wished TO act in such a way, he
would have added to the parcel, in case
of accidents, certificate, setting forth
that his godson was an entire stranger to
the nature Of this correspondence, or at
least he would, during his trial, have
written letter to him, which might be
produced as his Justification.
Cornelious replied, that undoubtedly
hisGodfather could not have thought that
there was any risk for the safety of his de
post, hidden as it was in press, which
was looked upon as sacred as the taber-
nacle by the whole household OF Van
Baerle; and that, consequently, he had
considered the certificate as useless. 4,

How wondrous are the changes, Jim,
Since forty years ago,
When gals wore wooden dresses, Jim,
And boys wore pants of tow;
When shoes were made of calfskin
And socks of homespun wool,
And children did a ha!f-day's work
Before the hour of school.
The girls took music lessons, Jim,
Upon the spinning-wheel.
And practiced late and early, Jim,
On spindle, swift, and reel;
The boys would ride bareback to mill
A dozen miles or so,
And hurry off before twas day,
Some forty years ago.
The people rode to meeting, Jim,
In sleds instead of sleighs,
And wagons rode as easy, Jim,
As buggies now a-days.

Soda Water.

People who indulge in drinking soda water
may be interested to know what it is made
of, as told by the Boston Commercial Bull
letin
The water costs TO manufacture about half
a cent a gallon, and in retailing it the prin-
cipal cost is that of the aavoring syrups and
the fountain which is in some stores an ele-
CANT piece Of furniture, costing as much as
$4,000. As for the Aavors, it is very seldom
pure fruit syrup is used. artificial havors
being more common as the real articles are
apt to spoil and need much care. There is
nothing deleterious whatever about pure soda
water, the interior Of the fountain being
generally lined with porcelain or block tin (;
but while some respectable druggists use only
pure favorings, artificial substitutes OF highly
questionable character are not infrequently
made use of, the most common being a pro-
duct styled butyric acid made from animal
fats treated with potash and sulphuric acid,
This being distilled produces butyric ether, a
colorless, pungent fluid, to which are added
aniline dyes or cochineal to give the colors,
Powdered orris root Is used 10 soitening aud
toning down the rankness Of the artificial
syrups, gum arabic to give them body, and
gelatine to give the creamy head to the soda
water as it is drawn from the fountain. Ether
aavors are cheaper by 200 per cent than the
genuine, and are largely imported from

Wheat as a Legal Tender.
iherbrooke, p. O., July %, 1875.

The gentlemen, including the statesmen,
who insist that the redemption or non-re.
demption of the greenbacks can in no way
affect their value, because they are them
selves the standard aud measures Of values,
refuse to admit that it is necessary that
"money" shall have any intrinsic value.
They insist that anything may be made a
legal tender at such value as the government
may choose by law to attach to it. We
will, in carrying out this theory, assume that
standard wheat, say Chicago No. 2, be &C.
leoted as a measure Of value, and that n
check for a bushel Of wheat weighing GO
lbs. shall be a legal tender to the amount OF
one dollar. As it would be both %inconve'
nient aud unnecessary to pay over the actual
wheat in every transaction, a system OF
checks would serve for that purpose. The
wheat being on deposit, or believed to be on
deposit, the checks emitting the holder to
one, ten, a hundred, a thousand, or any NUM-
Der of bushels of wheat, each bushel weigh
ing go lbs. Of standard quality, would be
legal tenders for as many dollars, one dollar
to each bushel. If ia the course Of time
these checks we're issued in large numbers
and 1t was then discovered that the govern
ment had no wheat with which to redeem
them, aud that it never intended to do 80
and that it did not even intend to pay inter-
est on the checks until such time as they
should be misunderstanding that these
checks for wheat thus issued by the govern
ment, and that in the popular phrase "the
faith and resources of the country were
pledged to the irredemptiOn, how long
would they remain at par, and how long

Editors as Pack Horses.

There is standing joke in the star vest
which is commonly played upon greenhorns
who 60 out there to make their fortunes 10
a few months hunting gold and silver, who
are told that though gold and silver are a
little scarce just then, there are plenty of
brass mines. These brass mines are to be
found pretty much everywhere and are work
ed all the time, with what degree of profit is
not so clear. There is not a day passes 10
which we do not receive worthless books,
pamphlets, circulars, catalogues, magazines,
&c, enclosing a slip for tho special eye of

us to write a favorable paragraph, pay for
setting it up in type, aud give them the

But it is not individuals only who thus delve
in these brass mines. Associations are Just
as industrious. They, as a rule, withhold
their legitimate advertising from you and
send you a useless ticket as pay for a two or
three dollar "notice." Unless we can see
clearly the public benefit Of a g~ratuitous no.

these brass mines. They must go elsewhere
