a little taller, a stranget would have been puzaled for a time to distinguish them. On @ closer observation, however, he would have found that they were different, especially in their cyes—those of the tallest being of a deep brown, whilst those of her younger sister were of that beautiful deep blue which had so fuseinated Erie's gaze.

“QO, Marie, Marie!” said the eldest to her golden-haired sister, “ you must have thought it so cowardly in me to faint.”

« No, dear Katrine! I never thought it cowardly. The sight was frightful enough. I certainly did feel when you had fainted, as if you were dead, and I were left alone in the world; left to the merey of the horrible wolves. And yet,

not alone, either; did 1 forget you, dear old Schwartz?” and |

the beautiful girl, kneeling down, flung her arms round the neck of the wolf-hound, who had been thrusting his black nose into her small white hand.

“ Ah, noble Schwartz! ah, dear Schwartz! brave hound,” said Katrine, kneeling in her turn to pat and kiss the delighted animal, whose huge feathery tail swept backwards and for- wards on the ground.

“ Katrine, do you know,” said Marie, rising from beside the dog, “ who it was that came to our reseue ?”

“ No,” said her sister. “{ did not see him at first, when the moon shone so brightly, and afterwards as we were in the sleigh with him it was so dark.”

“ Bat I saw him well, there was no mistaking him ; it was no less a person than our Roman artist ? do you remember ? Ile who followed us out of the Sistine chapel ?”

* Q, yes!” answered Katrine, “ he I called your inamorato ; the one we saw afterwards in the gallery, copying that beau- tiful statue of Canova.”

* Well, well, you need not laugh at me, Katrine ; you were quite as much struck with himasI was. Iam not surprised at it now. Do you not see the likeness ?”

‘* Likeness! to whom, dear Marie ?”

“ Why, to Ernst--Ernst Walderthorn. I knew there was something more than usual which attracted me tohim. De- pend upon it, he is Eric Walderthorn, the brother whom Ernst is expecting so anxiously from Rome. And he was driving Ernst’s greys, Oscar and Harold.”

* Do you think he knew us ?”

“ That was not possible, Katrine dear. It must be years since he saw us, and I sat a child of six years old on his knee, and he was a boy of fourteen. How many years ago is that, ten or twelve ?”

“Twelve, it must be; of course that makes a wonderful difference hetween a little girl of six and a woman of eighteen.”

“It must be Eric. We will ask the landlady when she comes in again, if she knows him. How surprised he will be when he finds out who we are, and that ig is his brother's bride whom he has rescu¢d from such a fvaiful death.”

“ We must not let him know who we are, Marie,” said Katrine. ‘“ Only fancy what his surprise will be when Ernst presents him to us.”

“ Bat how can we keep our name from him? He must know it already.”

“No, I do not think he does; the people here do not know us. We will give him our mother’s name.”

* Bat Vritz and Wilhelm, Katrine?” pleaded Marie.

« Q, I will give them their lesson. I must go and see poor Frita when he comgs in; I am afraid he is badly hurt. 0, here comes Madame Wirkmann; let us ask her about Eric.”

The landlady came in preceding the servants, bringing in the equipage for tea and coffee, and fresh wood and coals for the fire.

“It was a wonderful escape, gracious ladies,” said the smiling landlady, in answer to a remark of Katrine’s, “‘ and he is a noble gentleman who came to your rescuc. But it was just what one would have expected ef a Walderthorn. They are all brave; all strong; all handsome. God bless him and his brother, the young Baron of Kronenthal.”

“So this is young Eric Walderthorn?” said Katrine. ** We had our suspicions it was he; it was so very likely to be him.”

“He is very like the young baron, saving your presence, gracious lady; only he is taller.

* Will you tell him that, when he is at leisure, Katrine ond Marie von Mullenthin would like to see him, to express their gratitude to him for the great service he has rendered them to-night ?”

« Ah, that I will, noble lady—ah, that I will. Beautiful laides’ thanks are dae to handsome, noble gentlemen, who risk their lives for them. As soon as he returns, I will let him know your wishes.”

“ Return!” said Marie. ‘Is he gone ?”

“ He is gone to look after his friend, who remained behind to conduct your Grace's sleigh and your wounded servant. Ile was uneasy about him because of the storm. Ah, how it rages !”

It was true. The storm was raging fearfully. The wind swept up the streets, and howled and raved around the houses.

[voR THE EXAMINER. ] Cuatuam, Canapa West, 26th August, 1856.

Drar Exawinrr,—We have had a political luli—a time preparation and of prganization—the natural fesults of the past many months’ turbulent fulminations, thunderings, daily issuing from a free, unshackled, unbought, uncomprimisin press—liberty’s safeguard—the peoplo’s tribune—their palla dium.

The calm, however, has been of but short continuance. It was but the harbinger of the explosion of the tempest, pent up in men’s minds and energies, ready and destined at the ap- pointed time to burst forth with irresistless might, unbaring the recreancy and tergiversation, the turpitude, yenality and jobbery of our present rulers; sweeping and hurling from power these enemies of the eivil and religious liberty and equality, the birthright of Canada’s free-born sons; cheering again and cheering onward anew to the charge in the battle of patriotism and freedom against misrule, abused power and tyranny ; of progress and enlightenment against obstruction and bigotry—brightening and reviving our ardent . long- cherished hopes and anticipations of the speedy arrival of the day when those noble Provinees of British America, united— haying commercial and national ties and interests identical— having space, as it were, annihilated and each other more closely approximated and drawn together by steam com- munications, by means of and through our improved navigable waters, rivers and lakes, inland seas, with their great and grand outlet, St. Lawrence—by our telegraphs, by our rail- ways, arteries, veins and nerves of iron, intersecting and binding the whole extensive framework, conveying the life, vigour, action and energies of the most progressive parts to its furthest extremity—shall stand forth as one of the nations of the earth, an incontrovertible argument im favour of free in- stitutions, of tolerance and of christianity.

Yes, the people must and will awake! At the polls they shall be heard, their voice lifted for their country’s purifica- tion, as they have spoken already loudly, unitéily and en- ergetically at Quebec, Toronto, Hamilton, Woodstock, Goder- ich, Petersboro, Galt, Guelph, Paris, Darlington, Oxford and Hastings, with a voice in their mass meetings, held at those places, that reaches Sir Edmund Walker Head on his vicere- regal throne and cries, ** Governor, dissolve the Council.’? No Governor, no Cabinet dare resist the call on peril of haying their names execrated now and forever. Give the people but the opportunity now to exercise the elective franchise, and victory shallrewardthem. Conquer they shall by their united and powerfal weapons, by their votes—swords of freemen, dexteriously and judiciously wielded—they shall triumph.

But have we the material to form a nation? Take a map of Canada and the Provinces. Pass your eye to the north it. See where the mighty St. Lawrence rises in a compara- tively unknown country, abounding in vast inexhawgtible forests of the finest timber, and immensely rich in minerals and general natural wealth: Such is the region round Superior. lt rises at the western boundary of Canada—for Canada ex- tends from the River Koministequoi, at the western extremity of Lake Superior, away to the coast of Labrador, fully 1,600 miles in length, having an average breadth of 230 miles, com- prising within its limits 350,000 square miles, being 224,000,- 008 English acres—near Lake Winnipeg, 300 miles long, which empties its waters and those of its tributaries into the River Nelson, 1,600 miles in length, into the Hudson Bay. One word in regard to the oceupiers and claimants of the Hud- son Bay territory. The Hudson Bay Company, who, in order to insure the full benefit of the monstrous imposition, cunningly and with ulterior views, endeavour insiduoisly to impress upon us the idea thatthey have the exclusive right to trade through- out that territory, which they pretend to hold solely for their own purposes, while all others are forever by law excluded. Who compese this company? About 200 stockholders in London, claiming and monopolizing the exclusive privileges of hunting and trading over a territory of about 4,000,000 square miles, extending from the coast of Labrador on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west, bounded on the north by the Arctic Ocean, and having the United States and Canada for its southern boundary. Whenee this monoply? By what authority does it still continue to exist? Have we not a right to contestit? Is it not a question affecting our viatl interests ? And may we not enquire and will we not ask how the case stands and what is Canada’s position in regard to it? She must and will see to it, and assert her rights in this tract of country.

Of the 4,009,000 square miles thus monopolized, in 1,500,- 000 square miles there exists in abundance those materials pro- moting agrieultural prosperity in its cultivable lands, as well as producing natural wealth in its forests of timber and mining localities, and not by any means least in its surprisingly abundant quantities and varieties of rich and valuable furs.

A Company of Canadian merchants—the North-west Com- pany of Meutied-sosie, with encouraging success, questioned and materially disputed the exclusive right of this gang of commereial ovations: the Hudson Bay Company, chartered, it is said, by Charles the Second. The fourth year from the formation of the Montreal Company, under no imeonsiderable difieulties in forwarding supplies to the field of operations, the profits amounted for that year to £50,000 net, being above the amount of capital invested at its commencement. Seven years from its first operations, the profits ran up to £150,000, while it gave employment to over 2000 Canadians. This gives us an idea of the extent of the Fur trade in this quarter. The pro- fits still increased, until the parties composing the Hudson day Company, finding themselves outrivalled, and finding the lega- lity of their title to the country disputed and their threats of ejectment set at nought—finding that neither Royal favor nor lordly influences in Britain, neither fraud nor compul- sion in Canada availed them, or would induce the North-west Company to forego their vantage-ground—they compromised matters, and formed a union of interests with the Montreal Company, in regard to their imaginary and pretended teniture from which they have for nearly a century derived such im- mense profits. All is now again locked up in complete secrecy. The furs are conveyed from the territory and the supplies are | brought into it via the Hudson Bay route, no doubt to prevent | a knowledge of the extent of the business carried on, lest others | should again embark init.
