pleasure OF conversing with HIM; and
not only that, but that meeting will
cause great bliss on the pant of both
individuals. Your sweetheart, who
called himself Bashiul Cornelius has
grown up to be a flrst-Class business
man. He is not bashiul like he used
to be, but has brass enough in his face
to even cause judge to lose his mind.

rated until death,
By this time Jane became rather ex.
cited, but she kept trying to compose
herself, for che wanted to ask some
questions, but before she could get
her mind composed, the vision and
the angel had gone and Jane was left
alone to wonder and imagine what
would be the result. Jane doesn't
know what 10 thing about it. Some
times she is almost ready to conclude
she was dreaming; and then she says
to herself, / was not dreaming-it was
too plain for a dream-but just wait
time will prove whether it was a
dream.
So Jane has got her mind composed
at last and now she apends her time
in calling back to memory those
pleasant hours she enjoyed with
"Eashful Cornelius;" how delighted
she was to even have the pleasure Of
hearing from him through her brother
Isaac and how funny it was to think
Of him rolling off the house top into
the barrel OF rainwster. But she was
glad the house was not very high, fo1
he might have broken his neck and It
was too stiff to tie, even if il had have
been long enough. She was also
| glad there was not much water in the
barrel, for her brother, Isaac, nigh
have tried to help him out, and i
would have been like the old saying,
"The blind lead the blind and they al
fall in the ditch" Jane thinks it wa
very lucky ioY "Bashful Cornelius
that things we're no worse, and ais,
that they were no better, for he mign

Jane thought if she prepared the fisl

Nor is this the full sum Of Canada's

enough to criticise her governor-gener-
al, though she has not driven him of
TO Ireland, as rumor said. The first
open showing OF a recalcitrant temper
by the people was at the time Of the
winter carnival last January. Before
the death OF the late premier. Sir John
thompson, the Earl Of Aberdeen was
enthusiastic in supporting the idea Of
winter carnival at the capital He
was patron Of the citizens committee
and took great interest in the success
OF the scheme. After Sir John died
Lord Aberdeen wrote impulsively and
advised the carnival committee to drop
the enterprise entirely by way Of show
ing respect for the memory OF the dead
premier. The committee in reply point
ed out that the date Of the opening
OF the carnival was some two weeks
after the date Of the funeral in Halifax,
and the Thompson family had partic-
ularly requested that the festival
should proceed. In addition the COM
mittee protested that a large amount
OF money had been expended. and this
would have to be made good II the en-
terprise were dropped. His excellency
then suggested postponement of the
carnival. but this the independent COM
mittee declined TO do. and what APP

/ peared to be spirit OF resentment the
encouragement resigned his position
as patron OF the carnival announced
his intention of remaining in Montreal
during its duration. and is declared TO
have said many unpleasant things
ABOUT the Goldfish aristocracy and dis
respectful spirit Of the Ottawa public.
Now, this being altogether too much
OF truth to be taken quietly, the Otta-
wa people waxed exceedingly wroth.
and the success Of the carnival. which
up to that time was problematic, was
Immediately assured by the sudden
waking up to exertion on behalf OF the
committee. The people were still more
enraged because their excellencies gave
and attended large balls and receptions
in Montreal at the same time that they
oeplored public festivities in Ottawa,
and hence most unkind thing were said
about vice-royalty. some Of the local
papers even going so far as to suggest
petition to the British government
asking for Lord Aberdeen's recall.
This. of course, was both petty and
absurd, for Ottawa is but a small bite
TO the big cherry OF Canada, and In
most sections of the country the Aber-
deems have won a fair need Of ap-
probation. The carnival was a success
despite the conspicuous absence OF Vice
royalty, and Lord Aberdeen asked the
committee to re-enact the stormIng OF
the ice castle later, so that he and his
suite might see Il. at the same time
Offering to pay all expenses. The com
mittee bluntly refused. The governor
general was snubbed.
The next friction arose from Lord
Aberdeen's failing to head the national
testimonial fund subscribed for the
family of Sir John Thompson. True.
his excellency adopted the dead pre-
mier's two young sons. taking them TO
maintain and educate until they come
OF age. but again Ottawa people were
aroused, and again they were angry.
Out Of these petty squabbles have
doubtless grown the rumors that the
Aberdeens were going to Ireland. a
rumor which has been fatty contra
dicted. If the people Of Canada must
have an expensive figure-head they
should be wise and refrain from COM
planning now. They have had a Mar
quis of Lorne and might fan into mis-
fortune again.
