THE WIND. Sadly the wind howls to and fro, I 'Tit like a di"mal wail of woe, That tells of someone in distress On land or sea; Whose cries are full of loneliness And misery. For in its voice there is no mirth, Fain would it have all tbings on 3arth Yie,d to its wild impetuous sway And headlong flight. Dreary it makes the darkening day The silent night. 0 mournful spirit! restless elf Why strnggle so against thyself? Thy wailing, sighing, seems to tell Of friends long loat, Of partings we remember well- The tears they cost. So moans and sighs the restless heart That cannct from its sorrowev-part, But struggling on 'gainst Tie's decree The troubled breast Is tempest driven, till gets she Eternal rest. 0 murmuring wind! what dost thou know ? Sometimes thy yoice is whispering low. Is that a secret tile of love, We hear to-day ? Or b1.:t thy dying breath above Passiug away' So now when all is calm and still, Th,t ceaseless moan is hushed at will, Now when thy wild unrest is past In silence deep, Thou, like the fretful heart, at last, Hath rest in sleep.

HOLYWELL PARISH CHARITIES. LETTER IX. SIR,—Humphrty Roberts*s Charity.—Mx Roberts, a druggist in tligh-strest, Holywell, made his will February 9th, 1848, and on the 11th of the same month he died. The following is an extract of his will:—"I give and bequeath to the Viscount Fielding and the Honourable Edward Mostyn Y" I Lloyd Mostyn, their exec tors, administrators, and assigns, the sum of JE500 upon trust thatthey, or the survivor of th<'m, doandshall invest theeame in their or his names, or name, in some one of the public stocks or funds of Great Britain, or at interest upon real securities in England and do and shall pay unto tlm rharchvy/rd ns and overseers of the poor for the time being of the parish of Holywell, in the county of Flint, to the intent that the same interests, dividends, and annual produce may be a perpetual fund for the benefit ot the poor residing in and bdo>tging to the said parish of Holyweli. And for that purpose, that the churchwardens and overseers for the time being of the said parish of Holywell do and shall by and with the interest, dividends, and annual produce, so to be paid to them as aforesaid, purchase articles of clothing, and on St. Thomas's Day in every year distribute such articles of clothing to and among such of the said poor as they the said churchwardens and overseers, shall think proper so, nevertheless, that the articles of clothing so given to any one individual shall not exceed in value the sum of three shillings." This will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on the 9th day of May, 1848, by the Rev John Roberts and John Thomas Roberts, Esq., the nephews of the de- ceased, the executors. The first reference to this charity in the vestry book is in April, 1857, nine years after the bene- factor's death, when the Churchwardens for this past year this day ]r:.id before the vestry abstracts of the accounts relating to the various charities belonging to the poor of this parish, p"reparatory tQ their transmission to the Charity Commissioners,— that is to say,Humph' eyRoberts'sCharity forClothing" Ttds money was inyegted in the Consolidated Au- nuities, at'u tae Interest, flf I?? is paid by the Charity Commissioners. In my Letter I, on the George's Charities, I stated that the present vicar of Holywell employed his bro- ther in 1878 to make a new form of charities account book, and therein he inserted under one heaiing, "E. and N. George and Humphrey Roberts—for clothing, and these two charities are so mixed to this day. On the Benefaction Tables in the parish church is a reference to Mr Roberts's charity there plainly painted that it is to be distributed by the churchwardens and overseers. During the present vicar's ministration, it is he and the churchwardens who have distributed this charity —one and the same ticket being issued for both this and the George's Charities. How the Rev R. O. Williams can do this or permit it to be done, seeing, as he must, the Benefaction Tables in his church He has repeatedly told me that he must, and will look after the trusts (charities) imposed upon him; with equal determination he should see that the overseers discharge their trust in this charity, and not take upon himself what is neither his duty nor right. One overseer for twelve suc- cessive years informs me that he had never heard of this charity until it appeared in the Express and although the present vicar and church- wardens were fully aware of the conditions of this charity, they took no steps to carry out the benefactor's will this last St. Thomas's Day, but made the distribution them. selves. Even in this they did not their duty; Mr Humphrey Roberts directed that the church- wardens and overseers are themselves to PURCHASE the articles of clothing, and on St Thomas's Day, distribute them to the poor. Instead of this, the vicar and churchwardens distributed tickets, and the receivers took them to a shop to select what they liked themselves. If it is too much trouble to carry out the benefactor's will, they should not undertake the office. Mr Roberts, who had been a churchwarden for many years, knew of existing abuses, and he wished to establish the good and safe plan of purchasing the articles first and after- wards hand them to the recipients, and so secure warm clothing" to the poor. By mixing thii charity with the George's it means an e of iwo thin gs—(1) An admission that the George's Oharity should be distributed upon the same system as Mr Roberts's-both to be distributed by the churchwardens and overseers, as the George's Charities formerly were. (2.) An attempt to deprive the overseers of their right to a share in the dis. tribution. In either case, the will is not carried Dut: the recipients are to be the poor who are born "nd reside in the parish—whether they reside in Nant-y-flint or Lletty-y-frogod; at Holway or Ooleshill-fawr, Mr Roberts, as an old church- warden, knew of abuses and desired a remedy, and bo establish the catholicity of his benefaction be. queathed th3 money in trust to a Roman Catholic and a Protestant, and not to confine it to the Holy- well Parish Church. Miss EmmlJ, Willilfhns's Charity.—Miss Williams was a native of Holywell. She died July 11th, 1858, at Southsea. She did by her will, dated Augubt 19fch, 1840, and proved August 2nd, 1858, in the principal registry of her Majesty's Court of in the principal registry of her Majesty's Court of Probate, bequeath to Edward ScargiU and John Joues the sum of £ 5G0 upon trust to invent the J same in the 3 per cent. Consolidated Bank of Annu- ities in the names of trustees to be appointed for this purpose by the incumbent and churchwardens af the parish of Holywell, Flintshire and she has thereby directed that the trustees so appointed shall from time to time and for ever pay the divi- dends of the said Bank Annuities as they shall become due to the incumbent for the time being of the said parish of Holywell, and tha+ the said in- cumbent shall from um^to time as, and when he shall reoeive the said dividends, pay and apply the same for the benefit of such poor old women, na- bivesof the town of Holywell, who being unequal to labour, ma be real objects of the charity as the said incumbent and churchwardens for the time bein?, or the maj rity of thenj, shall in their full direction think proper." The aforesaid sum of C500 was accordingly invested January 25, 1859, in the purchase otjE519 9a 7d, £ 3 per cent. Con- solidated Bank Annuities in the names of the official trusteps of charitable funds pursuant to the provisions of the Charitable Trusts Amend- ment Act. 1855, the dividend to be applied as di- rected." Although this charity is to be distributed by the rfc r And churchwardens, the latter know nothing ibout it, they kuow not how or to whom it is listributed, neither do they know what dividends ire received All is done by the vicar himself. 1 he first reference to this charity in the parish restry book is written by Canon Huzh Jones, the ;hen vicar:—"The following charities were laid before the vestry by the churchward'vis, viz., Miss Emma Williams's Chanty, for the year ending 31st t December, 1859." The next is in the Rev R. O. Williams's writing, April 2nd, 1877 (a space of 18 I' years) The accounts of the fol's-i^g chariti- s were laid before the vestry, Mitss Emma Williams." Not a word about their being examined and found correct; for in the same book, April 22nd, 1878, I there is a minute in the Rev R. O. Williams's writing:—"Seeing they (this year's church- wardens) have not received the balances due by their predecessore in office, the ve try requires them o have their predecessors' books examined by an accountant." There is also a minute in the vestry book, April 22, 1818The vicar having submitted the accounts of the late John Hughes, Mrs Bab, and Miss Emma Williams's Charities, they were examined and allowed as correct," I was present at that vestry, but I did not see and examine these accounts. This minute indicates that the present vicar claims Miss Wil- liams and Mr John Hughes's as in his own keeping. The churchwardens have as much to do with them as he has, and they should keep an account of them, and not permit the Rev R. O. Williams to kei-p private books, which it appears from this minute he rloes. Ellt., Parry's Charity. -Letters 2 and 3.—In the vestry book, November 13, 1868, are the following minutes touchingthis charity Resolved, that the proposal made by Mnjor Barnston for an ex- change of a portion of his land in the township of Bagillt Fawr for a portion of land belonging to the poor of Holywell, in the iame township of Bagillt Fawr, will be beneficial to the parish" "That Mr Isaac Taylor be appointed valuer and surveyor, ind that he be requested to report to the vestry as to the value of the respective pro- perties." What was done there is no evidence in the vestry book to show. Can the Charity Com- missioners in this case, as with the attempted sale of the George's Charity property (Letters 1. 2) have prohibited the exchange ? Greenfield, Holywell. Tiios. HUGHES.

LIBERALISM -011 Friday, Mr George Mason, of the National Reform Union, delivered a lecture in the Maeonic Hall, Llandudno, in connection with the local Junior Liberal Association. Dr Bold WIlliams presided. The subject of the lecture was Redistribution of Seats and the County Franchise At its close a cordial vote of thanks was parsed to the lecturer.—Subsequently the annual meeting of the Llandudno senior branch of the Carnarvonshire Liberal Association was held -Mr Barker, the president of the branch, in the chair. In the annual report, which was read by Mr G. H. Pugh, the honorary secretary, the committee recorded a year of quiet work without much political excitement. The priucipal work of an association during a time of quietude like the present was to attend to the registration, and thus prepare for the struggle when it came. The registration work during the year had been of ex- ceptional difficulty in consequence of there having been so many changes in the occupation and ownership of pr perty in the district. The relative strength of the two political parties had been scarcely disturbed by the late revision, the net gain for the three parishes being one Liberal vote. There was, however, a substantial Liberal majority upon the register as it now stood. Through the liberality of Mr W. Carver, PI is Gcgarth, and Mr John Walker, Osborne House, I the balance due to the treasurer upon the last ac- count had been wiped off. The work of the asso- ciation was for the most part voluntary, but the I necessary expenses involved an outlay of abrut I £ 40 per annum. It vvas worthy of remark that the total number of voters on the register for the county was 7031, the principal polling districts be- ing as follows:—Llandudno, 566 voters; Ll-n- llechia, 41)2 Iiaugor, 459 Llanddeiniolen, 416; Ynyscynhaiarn. 342; and Carnarvon, 281—On the motion of Dr Bnld Williams, the report was 1 adopted, and a vote of thanks was passed to Mr G. H. Pugh (Messrs Minshall and Pugh) and the other honorary officers of the association. Mr T Barker (Brynderwen and Aigburth) was re-elected president, and the following vice-presidents were appointed: — Dr Bold Williams, Messrs W. Carver, J. Walker (Eglinton House), D. P. Davies (Ty'n-y coed), and the Rev J. S-piither James. Mr G H. Pugh and Mr Thomas Edge were re- spectively re- elected honorary secretary and honorary treasurer. A general council and an executive committee were elected, and the follow- ing were constituted a registration committee Dr Bold Williams, Rev J. S. James, Messrs Samuel Roberts, S. O. Hughes, and R. O. Owen. On the motion of the chairman, seconded by the honorary secretary, it was resolved "That the best thanks of this meeting be given to Mr W. Rathbone, M.P., with an assurance that his Parlia men.ary conduct has given his constituents the greatest sitisfactiou; and this meeting pledges itself to use all legitimate means to support him at the next election" (hear, hear). A vote of confidence in the Government was also passed, and the proceedings closed with the customary compliment to the chairman. A letter of apology for non-attendance, owing to indisposition, was read from Mr R. D. Williams, Carnarvon, the general secretary of the Carnarvon County and Borough Liberal Association. BANGOR. LOCAL BOARD -There were present at Thllrsday's meeting Messrs T. Lewis (chairman), R. Roberts, R. Hughes, J. Pritchard, Evan Williams, and J. Jones.

A letter was read from the Local Government Board relative to a request to apply JE150 belonging to the parish of Menai Bridge towards the construction of a road at Menai Bridge by the Llandysilio Oommis sioners. The board replied that under their act the commissioners had no power to construct roads, and they therefore declined to accede to the request at preseat.—Mr T. Jones said that the land for the road had been given by the Marquis of Anglesey, and unless the funds for its con- etructionwere forthcoming, the project must fall to the ground.—Mr Murray Browne thought there had been some misapprehension with respect to the application, and promised to communicate wish the Local Government Board to set it right -An estimate of X56 16a 9d for the quarterly ex- penses of the school attendance committee was passed, and a piecept for £ 85 9s 3d, Anglesey county rate.-The clerk (Mr J.

D. Parry, W. Parry and Owen Owen were summoned for being on the premises. Police Sergeant W. Jones and another officer visited the house shortly before seven o'clock on the night of the 21st ultimo, and found two men in a back parlour. The landlady representing that there was no one upstairs except the landlord, the officers went above and found four others hiding themselves in an attic, and Anthony Reddy under a bed in another room. The bar was open and there was a jug and dirty glasses there. Four of the men lived v. ithin two hundred yards of the house, the fifth within half a mile, and the two others near Menai Bridge. Jabez Williams was not sober. The defence in the case of E. D.

Mr Alun Lloff, opened for the affirmative, and contended that available disputes should be settled by arbitrate11! for to go to war was a very serious matter, only a costly but a very lamentable t.hinp to tb country at large. He was supported by Mr Watts. Mr J. W. Davies, in supporting negative, argued th?t it was almost impossible t° settle disputes, whether available or r otbyarb1' trauon. Arbitration is a very unsatisfactory of settling disputes, for assuming that countries were to agree to refer disputes to arbitration, that on the decision being given one of tb countries was dissatisfied, the inevitable res?1 would be that they wou 1d finally settle tkeir putes by war. Besides, it was almost impossib* to settle the disputes in the colonies by arbitration owing, in the majority of cases, to the'ir state and he therefore maintained that the beB way of Bettling all disputes generally would be Vf war. He was supported in this view ly Mr NeVitO in a vigorous speech. Mr Sherville, Mr Aldricb* Mr R. Lloyd, Mr E. W. Lloyd, and others, took part in the discussion, and on going to tb? vote there was a majority of one in favour 0 arbitration.
