mother, "perhaps MT. Truesden will not buy the house after all."
 "Will he come to live here, mamma, and let us live here too? and he my papa, and-and- be his wife F
 "Yes, my dear, darling boy" ea claim ed the fond mother, clasping her child to her heart. Two hours only had passed since that engagement hal been sealed with ring in which glowing ruby had been set. In a rapture of joy Mrs. Trowbridge explained to her child, as we'll as she could, the meaning of the ring, and of the precious stone he saw there.
 
 "Mr. Monier would like to speak with Mrs. Trowbridge a moment" was pen oiled on card that was handed to the widow.
 "Nothing wrong, I hope," was the thought that startled the lady for an instant. The marriage ceremony was to take place next morning, and it was now half-past eight in the evening. Her prospective husband had left hea half an hour before, and she was pug zled to conjecture what reason his law yer could have for calling just then.
 "I have called, madam" said MT. Monier, "to hand you this document, which is, as you see, release of the mortgage on your property" Su hi ha Tod 1r in surprise. "Has MT. Truesdell paid off this mortgage?"
 "Mr. Truesdell has been owner of the mortgage, madam, for several months, having purchased it, through us, before he became acquainted with you. In or der to restore to you the full and abso- lute ownership of the property in the easiest and most direct way, he has, by our advice, execute1 this release while you was still Mrs. Trowbridge."
 "A name, sir, that I always thought it an honor to bear, but now other emo- tions fill my heart. If you report to MT. Truesdel that you have left me in tears, please tell him they were tears, not of sorrow, but of the deepest gratitude. Good night"
 Mrs. Trowbridge became Mrs. Trues- dell at 10 a. m. the next day.
 ''And 50 this is the way you dispos- sess the widow" said MT. Monier, as soon as he could get near enough to his client, after the ceremony, to whisper a word in his ear.
 "I thought I would rather possess her, |" was the reply"

Shocking Crime in Canada.
WHO WE'RE SUSPECTED OF INoEN- DIARISM,

For some time past incendiary fires and other misdemeanors have been of frequent occurrence in Lucan, Ontario, and family named Donnelly was sus- pected of being connected with them. AS a consequence of this suspicion there arose an intense feeling of enmity against them throughout the township. A Vigilance Committee was formed by the settlers some time ago as means of protection from these outrsges, which, with other precautionary measures, failed to bring about a remedy. The last incsndlary fire occurred on the Ryder farm, on Jan. 15, and Donnelly and his wife were arrested on suspicion. Their examination was still pending, and was to have closed on Wednesday, but the morning light displayed the ghastly spectacle of the last remains of the in mates of the Donnelly homestead burned to cinder, after having been first horribly hacked with an axe or other iron instrument. It seems that about 20 men, disguised evidently beyond re- cognition, were engaged in the work. A boy named Corners, who belongs in the village, was staying in the house over night, and when the attack was made he crept under the bed without being discovered. After the murders had been committed and the house fired the gang decamped. The boy then quit his hiding place, and going to the village informed the authorities. The persons murdered are James and Judy Donnelly; Thomas the youngest son, and Bridget niece. At tabout the same time midnight-another party called at the residence of William Donnelly, three miles distant, and awoke him. His brother John went to the door and immediately two shots from revolver were fired at him, killing him instantly.
 The bodies of the murdered Donnellys are burned almost to a cinder. The old man and tue girl are lying close to- gether in the northwest corner of the house. The old mans skull was broken, evidently with fire shovel, which is lying under him. Mrs. Donuelly is lying in one of the middle rooms, and shows evidence also of having been killed. The son Tom is in the front part of the house itwould appear from the large clots of blood on the outside of the door that he was killed outside, and then thrown into the burning building.

Making Maple Sugar.
TEE BEST TIME TO TAP THE TREEs--A
 WOODLAND SCENE.

The best sap weather is when the wind is southwest, with Aeecy clouds by day, and clear nights, cold enough to freeze little. The sap will run as long as these conditions prevail. A south wind threatening rain soon stops it; though if soft snow falls instead it will run rapidly. The sugar maker has no use for rain it vets his jacket, soaks his wood pile and increases the quantity of water to be evaported, and the water running down the trees, steep ing moss and iohens on it's way, and falling into the sap gives dark stain to the sugar that nothing short of chemical means will remove. In good "run !" the sap accumulates aud the fires must be kept going all night. There is no particular fun in this when one has gathered sap all day, but the great store tubs must be emptied to make room for the next days gathering, So after supper the one who is to boil till midnight wends his way to the works through the deepening twilight. The familiar woods look solemn and myste- rious in the uncertain light. The owl takes great interest in the sugar ma- ker's fire at night, and perched on tree just outside the circle of light hoots loudly at intervals for hours. If you have two pans, and propose to boil large quantity of sap, you will have no leisure to speak of. You fill the "feed to run as large stream as can possibly
 be evaporated, then you urge the fires to the utmost. The pans bubble and foam the fragrant st cam rolls away in clouds. You see the light of other fires in the distant woods where other lonely watchers like yourself are at work, and after awhile the waning moon comes up and her light struggles in among the trees. If the air is clear and still the tinkle of the falling drops of sap can be heard at distance of many yards, clear melodious sound, like a single stroke on tiny silver bell, and as the pitch varies somewhat, according to the size of the bucket or the depth of sap ;or for some other reason, you may enjoy unique concert, if twenty. or thirty trees stand near enough together to enable you to hear them all at once.
 Now several drops fall at once, then the intervals gradually widen, then mar.
 row again, while others chime in, giv
 ing rise to sort of irregular rythm and
 cadence. No one notices it in the day
 time, and the distance at which it il
 audible at night is surprising. The
 only other sound is the rush of the
 creek in the valley far below, swollen
 with this tribute gathered by the sur
 from every snow bank within it's basin

Ireland's Distr ess.
OVER 100000 PEOPLE ACTUALLY s7ARv-
 ING SOME STARTLING FIG UREs.

A special dispatch from Dublin to the New York Herald, says The daily, hourly cry of distress in Ireland be- comes more and more urgent and wide- spread. Every day reveals new horrors in the catalogue of suffering. Tne out look for the coming months is gloomier than any prediction has yet painted. No language can describe the appalling privations, the utter destitution which prevail, but vivid picture can be found in the statement and figures be- low. They are unexaggerated and we'll authenticated.
 It is impossible to overdraw the situ- ation, 50 rapidly do matters become worse. What might have been an ex- aggeration yesterday will tomorrow be an underestimate. Three hundred thousand people are slowly starving, and can only be kept alive by superhu- man efforts on the part of thelr fel- fellow creatures. Some of them are living on one meal day, of turnips or of meal. Thousands more are consum- ing their last potatoes. Local efforts are becoming feeble. The people are looking to the world for succor.
 The following figures are compiled from the official returns of the local committees to the central bodies or- ganized for the distribution of relief in Dublin, as we'll as from private inquir- ies made by your correspondent. They are vouched for by Protestant and Catholic clergy, gentry and public off, cials. Further returns are arriving daily in overwhelming numbers.
 The returns by counties where the chief distress exists shows the numbers of those suffering to be as follows:

PooR PAY.-An Exchange says the largest fashionable dressmaking es- tablishments employ from twenty to thirty sewing women and girls. One or two of the most expert of these will be paid $8 week, and five or six of the others who have worked several years at the place will receive $5, and some. time $6, but one must be very efficient and reliable if she is paid $6 per week. The remainder of the sewers work for $1, $2, and 8.

all the customers they catch are secured,
they never have to throw any overheard,
nor do their customers ever throw them
overheard, for the reason that they
keep No. l stock and sell cheaply and
thus make fast friends of all whom

everything in china, crockery, glass,
