Aud suddi-o parting aflor." Late in tbo raont.li tf November, a largo fleshy man, with iharp, tlt.ck eves, ruddy la:e, and of quick uiuitular mo lion, mounted oti an old black horao, vna eern ju9t at uight entering the vil läge ot HarwooJ. The neverely sharp weather and the rouli travelling had nearly overcomo hi physical nature, which induced him tu turn in for & night's) repose t the . Crnt public house. Iii p.rka, di(,nmu.,ted. put lu- head In at the reined ins hone up t Hid inu ui Uevrvo dour, and aai.l, "Ilalluo! ' landlord, can you kesp ma enj tny horso tonight!' I guess no replied Parkn, at the same time taking the horao by the Indie to lead him tu the b'trn. Tho stranaer walked into the Lor rTra: "VlT TVT . ! drinker, aeatt'd nrot nd a chccrlul firo that was burninj bnuly on the hearth.

The threw individuals had monopolised the tire, which compelled Iho stranger, though cold and fatigued, to lake a seat ou a box in one corner of the room. . When the landlord came in. he snarled out. in en an.'ry , tone, "Zeno Huff, why dou't you hitch back, and give this man a' chunce lo Come to the fire.1 Where are your manners, juu loa'erl Zene had been under the training of old Parks so long, and had so oitcd submitted to his bar room rules and regulations, tlut be obeyed, gave up bis chair to tho siranger, and threw himself carelessly upon, me bunk.

I am out on a kind of exploring tour,, to wee how the land lies.' 1 Thlsstrancr was ateniperame agent, who lor tn uj) years had been employed by the State Temperance. rJjnetj, but wished to keep jr. c.icpti'd irom the Isndiwrd. He was in the habit ol en tori n public bousei autlotiier . places ot re

sort tnco.,tbat he might learn the trick

aadartsof th rum traöic. rrom bis appearance, no oue would suspect him of being a temperance man. 3Iuch of hii :ife had been pent in tneonation. His face et ill retained i'.s frnsh brandy color; and his general appcrance of har diness, which he had acquired dunnj his course of dissipation, he had not lost, which readily initiated him into the company of the dissolute, withou. awakeninr any suspicions that he waa a successful reformer, or even a reformed man. Very soon after the abovo conversation between the stranger and Parks, a youngr man entered tho bar room. Good evening, Mr. Parks,' said the youncr man. Good evening, Mr. Sherman; walk up to the fire,' said Parks, placing for him the stool of a broken chair. "You are not going to tha temperance meeting, I hope. - . 'No, not !. I never pa to such places, you know, Parks.'; Yes, I know you haven't been in the habit of it; but I diJn't know but what you had changed your nind, as a pood many have. They arc havinj' tcmpurance meetings two or ihreo times a week, and a pood many sre making fools of themselves by pinning tho pledge; and I didn't know but you had.' . If I drink" a brandy alinj, will that convinco you that I am no foolJ Perfectly." "Prepare it then, and do your beet.' Parks stepped irfo the bur, poured out the brandy, and while mixinj the ingredients a gentleman entered the bar room, of low stature, thick set, with blue eyes and heavy whiskers. anJ wrapped up in adrab petersham overcoat with fur collar and cuffs, who said, ' Good evening;, Mr. Parks. You iro at your trade yet, I s"e. Did you ever read tn the Bible, 'Woe uoto them that ire roijjhty to drink wine, .and men of strength 0 mingle- strong drink 1 'No!

11,'fl', Cate Mortimer, nud old Sam Crow foot to consent to go up and hear the stranircr give tho fanatics what they had loDg (leervcd,- but what they had not oeeti abl? to procure for them in 90 public a manner. As they. started from the bar room door, tho stranger locked Into tho arm of Psrks on one side, and old Mortimer on the other, while Zene Huff' nnd Sam Crowfoot followed on behind them. They entered, and were snto in one of tho front slips. It was not long Sefore the chuch was fllleif. The brilliant lamps that stood upon the desk and were suspended in different parts oi the room, and the brightand happy 'aces that were present, cast a charm over The whole scene which Prk-, and liU customers' were not used to witnessing. , Tho hour having arrived for the meeting to commence, the ltev. John Holyday, pastor cf the'ehurch, aroao and opened with a' short and appropriate prayer. He then introduced to the audieuce Win. Davis, Esq., who pave a very truthlul and appropriate address. The speaker confined himself to the eflects of in'emperance on our nation. He spoke of the enormous amount of money expended annually for intoxicating liqu irs of the vast amount it costs to try criinuuls and support the paupers made by this trallic ol the number ol statesmen who had fallen by intemperance of the great amount'of property which had beeu destroyed by intoxicated incendiuries and eluded by makinjr an appeal to all who loved their country to gi vo thiir names to the pledge, thut our land may be Iren Iroin thi curse. The addrecs was a very good one,; and evidently look hold 0 the leoliugs of the congretioa. As soon as Mr. Davis sat down, Mr lloiiiJjy took the floor.

It would not only be good for the rumseller to believe it, but it would result in great go d to him and the community to stop his traffic.

These notions about abstractions are held and talked about by men who are afraid to commit themselves. Our clerical friend seems to be much alarmed lest we become men of one idea. Wei'., let it be understood that temperance men are men of one idea a mightr idea. It is an idea so large that common minds cannot grasp enough of it to become interested in it. It is an idea which contains tbe following startling facts: 'Rumsclling costs this country, every ten or twelve years, twtlve hundred millions of dollars. It occasions the loss of over fire millions of dollars by fire. It sends over one hundred and litty thousand victims to the poorho'ise. It makes ono thousand maniacs. It causes one thousand and five hundred murders. - It is tho occasion of two thousand suicides.. It makes two hundred thousand widows. . And It bequeaths to the cold charity of the world Hvv hundred thousand orphan children.' This certainly is a mighty idea an idea quite as large as the largest and most Philanthropie mind can grasp. As Nosh's flood rose fifteen cubits above, the highest mountains, so this idea overtops alt others. (to be continued'.) '

' '. vtj It was at first the intention to have speaking on tho occasion, but it wa concluded, as I heard one young lady remark, that they "wo dd have to au down for an hour, and listen to something that would'nt be as interesting as dancing," and so they resolved to dispense with that part of the proposed entertainment. , . ' Tho Picnio was appointed for Sat urday, but on account of excessive rain was deferred until the next Tuesday. Had Sturday been favorable, il is estimated that the number present would have been nearly doubled. Such i a description of the grandest Picnic of the season. J.'B. A FS0?OSAX TO BVSLBXSDK3. CAHADA. , The Duke of Newcastle, ia moving the second reading of the. Canadian Legislative Bill, in the House of Lord, on the 14th inst., stated that its object was to repeal those clauses in the Union Act which prohibit legislation by the Canadian Parliament on the subject of Legislative ' Council, and to leave the Colonial Legislature entirely free to act as il may think fit with respect to the creation of a Second Chamber." The Earl of Ellenborough availed himself of that occasion to say that they had made iuch progress last year in the wort of concession to Can; ada, that the question now' ' was, not whether they should ttop in their career, 6till less whether they should attempt to go back, but whether they should not, in the most friendly spirit toward Canada and the other North American colonies, consult with their Legislatures on the expediency of taking measures for the complete release of those colonies from all dependence on the Crown and Parliament of Great Britain. ' . - lie stated that tho corn aud naviga tifU laws, and the discriminating duties that had formerly existed in favor of the Canadas wero now repealed, and that the colonies in question seemed to derive very little advantage from thcir'nnnezation with the home t government. ; lie continued by asking: What was the use, what the practim as -"" leal advantage 01 continuing our ilh tLe coIonTe.. The connection might be of some small use in time of peace; . but, on the other hand, consider tho danger arising from it in matters relating to war. There could be no doubt that the chances of collision between this country and the United Slates were jreerUly increased by our connection with the North American Colonies. It was equally certain that in the event of war occurring between this country and tho United States on grounds totally unconnected with the colonies', they must, from their connection with ns, be drawn into tho war, and their frontier would be exposed to the circumstances, it was a serious consideration ! whether wc should not endeavor, in ! uie ruot ineuoiy uiunncr, to divest ourselves of a connection which must prove equally onerous'lo loth . parties, Now, in ease, of war, could we hope to i defend the colonies successfully?

That he' admitted, und he wished that he could add that we had made equal progress in military strength. If, however, we hud advanced in the . i . i . - - had made in their innumerable rail-

road9, their weU-pppointed and welliisciplined army an advantage which hey did uot formerly possess, for they conducted the war in 1 CI 4 with a mere rabble. Considering the increased strength and appliances at the command f the United States, it would hardly xj potsible to tiefend Canada with any dopes of success. The very idea of a war with the United States was horriole. The event would be one of the sTeatest evils; one of the direst of hu--oan afflictions. . Connected us we are n all the details of commerce, it would more like tearing assunder ' the limbs of one human body than the collision of two separate bodies. - Why, needlessly, increase the chances of war. Our brethren on the other side of the Atlantio are . very ambitious, tnd extremely sensitive on the point jf honor. , So were we; and we . were tlso extremely sensitive on the point of justice.' Not oily would we not endure injustice to ourselves, but we could not tolerate the perpetration of injustice to another. These considerations should lead us to regard a rupaire with the United States as an event which might happen at some period. Under these circumstances, he hoped that, at an early period, the Government would communicate with the leading persons in the Legislative Assemblies of ihe North American Colonies, with the view of ascertaining their opinion on tho subject of a separation. We should cousult with them in the most friendly 6pirit, as if they were members of one and - tho . same family in which we felt 9.-. deep concern. . , . .. , . The duke of Newcastle retorted that he was Astonished that the Earlol Ellen borough should propound opinions which would be as unpalateablc to tho people of the Colonies as they were to their lordships of that House 1 ile (the duke of Newcastle) would inform the noble Earl that he did not belong to a Government which would consent to making such proposals' to the people of Canada For his pan he looked upon such a pioposal as an offense against the dignitv; and the sovereignty of Britain and hostile to the best interests of colonists, '.v. Lord Brougham asked why the Duke of Newcastle should' eo. vehe mently denounce the proposal of the separation of these colonies from the parent Slate? The proposal was not novelty. It had been entertained and expressed by many eminent men. For himself he would respectfully recommend to the people of Canada so to select the members of their second Chamber, that that Chamber fchould not be a mere duplicate of the Lower House. ' ' . Tbe Duke of Newcastle replied that the bill was a mere ennobling bill,and there was nothing in it to prevent, the local Legislature from electing the members of the Upper House for life, or for a certain number of years. ... The bill was then read a . second time. - Any immediate fiction like tha'

contemplated by LordEllenborough, U not to be expected, but the "manifest destiny" of the Canadian provinces is plainly in the direction indicated. The fact that euch a proposition has been made by a British' 'Peer, who has been in the Cabinet as First Lord of the Admiralty, who has been -India Minister and Governor of India, and that the maker was not indicted for treason, is, to 8iy the least, suggestive. TZKHNOW I0TIIIK3 CRIED. Tho success of the K no w Nothing organization during r the last .few months, the decisive weight they havo thrown into the politicnl balance, has given to their character and principles an importance that can never be attached to an ordinary Beeret society. What these principles are, can beaui thentically known only to the me ru bor; but the supposed ground work is said to be about this. 1st, A complete disclaimer of all obligations to any existing party. ' 2d. The acknowledgement of right, justice, and . equity only, (as they underhand them) as standard of po litical liuiu and practice 3d. To voto lor no man who makes the pursuit of office n business, nnd who attempts to gain it by the "tricks of trade," and who tioeä.not posses terlmsr qualifications. for the cost. 4ih.

A man is examined nt for his qualifications, but la reference to how many votes he can command at the next election. We hardly need recapitulate 'the details of the example of our own county in illustration. We need not now tell bow much money was expended at Columbus last winter to defeat the bill to reduce the present enormous perquisites attending certain offices. (We leave that for another time.) We need not say that this money was expended by men who had a direct interest in tbe result of tbe bill by men who expected to hold the profits," if not the office themselves. We need not say that they will be, or expected to be, active . competitors for all the spoils to be gathered, and to take the track on the next election with the full confidence of an easy journey over the course; and perhaps wo need not aay lhat the cardinal obligations of the Know-Nothings will impose a Water loo defeat of such conspirators against the people's pockets. But wc now come to the fourth ar licle of the supposed Know-Nothing cried, i We wish it could le more clearly and rdainlv Infi norl than possible through a public journal. r it is not to be denied tharJarticles have appeared in Roman Catholic print that were supposed to be under the control of high authority, which have given reason for the mingled religious political jealousy that is now so apparent. Suchteahcings as thatbf the Sheperd of the Valley,, (the late Catholic Organ. At St.. Louis,) which credicti that . . : '.. "If the Catholics ever gala which they will surely will do, though at a distant day a Immense namerical majority, reiifflous ireedora le aa end" tro to monstrous in their character to be looked at without well grounded alarm. - And, es if these lentiments were not sufficiently repugnant to every American, the Sheperd proceeds to in ttmate , That heretic, bronjrht ap a each, woald oot be persecuted, but lhat apostates from tbe CatholK Chorea woald be dealt with as they dreerTed." AH this he continues. .

But this gentle Sheperd is not satisfied with stopping the mouths and muzzling tbe presses of freemen, but boldly threatens them with the . terrors of the in lutsion. 1 It says: 'The circa matinee ander which ft may ih-cume lawful to tufiicf tentorial poalehnent for heresy, in countries ia which elvil regululione difler from oar tea, are of very rar occurence, whilst we assert such clr. ;aiiwtoces have occurred, and may occsr gala" Doctrines more repulsive than these or better calculated to arouse a soirit of indignation, could not be conceived ot i.oe mreats oi tue destruction of religious freedom, of the torture of Catholics that might choose to change their -religion, of destroying our liberties, and intioducing us to the tender mercies of the inquisition itself, are monstrosities of language no words are strong enough to condemn. We can but hope and express our behalf thai such statements are not entertain ed by the educated Catholic laity, but the public generally will bold'jttlf excused if it looks to the press of the Church as the organ of its opinions and belief, and it is under the influence of such teachings that the fea tures of the Know-Nothing creed has sprung into existance. Il" Catholics, or the leader of the Catholic Church, manifest no deposition to make their religion ft part of their politics if such a union were shown to be contrato tho genius of that Church if (we might add by way of illustration) tne Pope would demonstrate it by grant ing religious toleration only, to bis owa country, no American or Protestant would evtr dream of enquiring at what altar a candidate for suffrage might confess his sins. .
