CONVALESCENT. Hardly had the sound of Tomas's footsteps died siway, e.c the mm came running up armed with sticks, and baring n. lanthorn. Eloort-bf.-nrjeared though the features were, they had r.o (Lffijnliy it, ^'otnising that the wounded man was Maelgwyn Gwynedd. Ten^ei*/ they raised the, as they supposed, hfe- less body, from the grouted, and proceeded to carry it to the farmhouse, which its unfort«oate owner had quitted so shortly beftvre m the fun vigour aoo pride ofmnnrood. Casting rainy a conjecture as to by wbrim. a; d for what purpose he bad been thus grievously assaulted enri murdered, they for a time cof p'fit-rK) how they should break the news to their youUf: mistress. pouring rain, however, warned them that they must quickly 'eon»ey iheir helpless burden into the house, ere, if he were ahve, the Izat spark of life should ebb «way. Wh. n they h-ad nearly reached the house, they deputed od^ of th"1r aumber to run forward and break the sad trews as ,autioupily as he could. At the floor of tbe house he was met by his'young mistress, who excitedly s»id, "It is Gwynedd. I kno* it is Tell me ^uiek, wbat is it? Is he tle^d 1 Who did it?" The bewildered man had hardly time to fcree her into the room before the men bearing the body entered. Oh. roy'Sod !"sfciieked the terrified girl, It is Gwynedd," and f. 11 fainting-on the Boor. While the men placed the body of Gwynedd on a b. d, several of the maid servants conveyed their migtn s, to the bedchamber. wheie, for a long time, she lay unconscious of all around hot. She had no sooner, however, recovered from one fit of uncon- sciousreE-3 ere she lapsed into another, and for a time the p, rpl, xed gi tis thought she must surely die, so d?afh-)ike was her appearance. The pulse bad ceased to heat,the features had assumed that rigidity of appearance characteristic of death, and her eyes a glassy hup. Terri'iicd almost out of their wits, the girls set up a most unearthly shrieking, which drew to the spot the father of Vwryno. Seeing the state she was in. he wrung his hands in an iL-ny of despair, and cried. Ob, my child Oh, my child She has gone ob, heaven*, what shall 1 do Tears streamed down his furrowed cheeks, and the intensity of hisgriefshook hiis very frame In fact, so piteous an object did he appear, that the girls, who had by this time somewhat recevered from their terror,'forced htm from the ro°tn he helpless as a child, and sobbing most bittwfly. Returning to the prostrate Vwryno, the maids re- doubled their exertions, and at the expiration of half a" bofr or thereabouts, they had the satisfac- tion of seeing her open her eyes, and then drawing a deep sigh, ask "Where arm I? What has been the matter ? You have been ill," answered one of her faithful attendants "Ton must keep quiet, or you will be "worfee aeain." Ah 1 I remember! 'Where is my Owynedd ?" she suddenly cried out. Re is dead I saw them any him in." Tenderly the girls endeavoured to soothe her, telling her he was not dead, but only wounded, though poor creatures they felt they were only do- ceiving her. "I must po to him." cried Vwryno, as she strug- gled to free herself from bar attendants. Let me go T' The exertion, after her late fit, proved too much for ber, find-she fell bact: unconscicus once more, but the fit this time was *of but short duration, her natorallyrobust naturevroving waster, and she re- covered consciousness again, and commenced weeping bitterly. "'€>&, Gwynedd," she moaned, ,"Why Aid-yo)u not rem-ein? 'Oh, that I milght die with you." These worls she repeated again and again. In the front room we left our hero in the care of the farm servants, who, having laid him down, pro- ceeded witfc the utmost tenderness to hind up his wounds, and with the meana at command to stop the blood. On examiEiBg him they found that, in ndditioa to thl wound 011 the arm, there were several Revere wounds on the skull, and one on the fore- head, In their work they>were assisted by an old woman from the village, for wheaa one ofthe men had been despatched, and who, to all inteats and purposes, -was the village practioner Rongh and simple thoachhersurtrerywas. it had the desired effect of stopping the bleeding, and thus saved the life of Gwynedd, who, but for the timely assistance she had rendered, must inevitably have bled to death. The Ibss-of blood, atad rhe serious wounds OR bis head, brought on a delirious fever, from which he di,i not recover for the space of nearly three weeks, duviorthe whole of which time he was most tenderly and careftilly nursed by the never tiring Vwryno. Mean-wlw'le every available means was adopted to discover the base perpetrator of the outrage, but to no effect. So carefuMy had Tomas laid his plans, that on the night of the assault he was supposed to be at home, in fact bad not been tnixsed by the do- mestics, though he WK absent several houra. When he had reached the farm, and quietly and "unobserv«d!y entered the house, Tomas set aboot devising some plan of-eecape, in tbe event of bis not having-finished his rival. At first, flight suggested itself to his mind, but frhia he decided would not de, as he wooM speedily be followed and brought back, for in those days, difficult as iooetnotion was with mny degree of speed, news of such a murderous out- rage got spread about is a most warveWusly short space of time, probably owing to its rarity, for be it said to their credit, the Welsh were not in those day3 given to such dastardly work, and even now the news-of-a murder in Wales is sufficient to send a thrill of terror all through the Principality, but as In these days, so in tbedays gee. by, there were Welthaaen who, to gain ",rown -cads, would stop at tithing, but they were and are the exception. Knowing that he should soon be discovered and brought baek ,>h# determined to rduin and brave it out, whatever the consequences might be. He <ooB hftaru to his chagrin that Gwynedd was alive, and vvbcd (Jay after day pwssd without any sign that bp bad di«ulffM) the maxae of tt" assailant, Tomasibegan tOobr.athe move freely, and imagined that fear prevented Gwynedd denouncing hiin, for be it..understood twan «f the fever that bad overtalsen him, and that its was then teasing about in tlbe del iriuln a fever. So the .time paaeed t>y, an<| «q« bright morning Vwryno ••as .pleased beyond expression to see her charge.open his wearily look roand at her, ttmile peacefully, and fall atte<p, from which be awoke in hiia right w, i n d "Where Mn I ?

'I shall not --iswer you any more questions," replied Vwryno,, blushing, "You say, said Gwynedd, "that no one but yrurselfheiurf. me speak of Tomas. I am glad of that. a\'h no ill feeling against hiin, and seeing u i.aIU s^)ar^» aQd still have you, it would per- haps be 'A'k well not to let the fiet become known.

J Yes," he answered, what good could it do me or you if he were banished from the village, or if hiafelood were shed ? It would be no satisfaction. iou really must promise what I ask." ery ruluctamly, and after much persuasion, was Ywryno compiled to yield the required promise to her lover, much as she would have liked to see Tomas shown up iu his true colours and punished as his crime deserved that he should be. It will be a greater punishment to him," said Gwynedd, to take no notice. He well knows I recognised his voice on that fearful uight." At this point Ywryno insisted on her charge ceas- iDg speaking, or," said she, I shall leave you." Whether or not she would have carried her threat into execution, we cannot say, but she carried her point, and had the satibfaction of soon seeing him otice more asitep. In a few days more he was able to get up, and soon began to regain his strength. iriends and companions poured in to congratu- late him, but no entreaties prevailed on him to divulge the name of his cowardly assailant, a fact which soon reached the ears of that individual, who, though inwardly thankful, and much relieved there at, was greatly puzzled to linow the cause.

Tearing up his Clothes.John Roberts, Mold, Flintshire, tramp, was charged at the instance of Edward Thomas, master of the Aberystwyth work- house, with willfully tearing his own clothes while a casual pauper at the workhouse, on the 18th March. Sententenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labour at Carmarthen gaol. LLANDYSSUL. The third of a series of entertainments in aid of the town lights was given in the National School- room on Friday eveniug, the ]4th inst. Tba Rev Daniel Davies, carate of Llandyssul. presided. The room was well filled by a highly respectable audience, who seemed to fully appreciate the pro- ceedings. The fife band, under the leadership of Mr Richards, the schoolmaster, acquitted them- selves in a highly satisfactory manner, and the farce, entitled "My Turn Next," was worthy of praise. The ChairMan proposed a vote of thanks to the performers, and the singing of the National Anhem brought the meeting to a close. CARDIGAN. LITERARY SOCIETY.-The weekly meeting of this society was held in the Guild ball, on Monday even- ing last, Mr J. H. Miles, the Priory, presiding. The evening was devoted to the readings, and the adjudi- cation upon an essay, having fer its subject, The effects ot scenery upon the mind," the prize being awarded Mr J. H. Llewelyn, compositor, Tivy Side Advertiser office. Amongst the readings were the poems on the Lifeboat, to which the prizes were awarded at the South Wales Eisteddfod, held at Cardigan in June last. CARDIGAN SCHOOL BOARD.—An extraordinary meeting of this board was held in the Council Chamber on Monday last, the chair being occupied by Mr T. Davie?, Bank House. A precept for £ 225, to meet the expenses of the board fer the half year ending the 30th of June next, was ordered to be issued aId served upon the town council, as the rating authority -The Clerk having reported that the masters of the National and Board schools had sent in their lists of attendances for the year, the Chairman rrad a letter from the Education Depart- ment, calling the attention of the board to the fact that out of 119 boroughs, amongst which Cardigan was grouped, only seven, of which Cardigan was one, remained without bye-laws bye-laws were en- closed, and the Department recommended that the board should adopt them in their entirety. Mr H. D. Jenkins gave notice of motion that be would move the consideration of the bye-laws and also the attendance returns at the next meeting of the board. -Another letter from the Department was also read, enclosing a schedule to be filled up, and ques- tions to be answered, aud the clerk was instructed to till up the same and submit it to the next meet- ing.-A permission, asked by Mr Picton,The master of the Board schools, that the District Teachers' Association might still continue to hold their quarterly meetings in the Board school-room, was granted, and permission was also given to the asso- ciation to have a cupboard in the school-room for their own purposes. ABERAERON. TROTTING MATCH.—The annual trotting match was held on Friday, the 14th inst., under unusually unfavourable circumstances, the weather being greatly against it. The attendance of horses and spectators was, in consequenee, much more limited than usual, and the proceecinga passed off in rather a tame fashion. The hurdle races were the only exciting items in the day's programme, which was as follows 1st: One mile race against time—Horses to be run in harness—1st,Mr J. Griffith's "Ja«k;" 2nd Mr J. Thomas', Blaenwern, "Cocktail." Five entries. The course was from Penybont, Aberarth to London House, Aberaeron.—«-2nd: Open trotting race, two mi,es-Ist, Mr D. Griffith's "Welsh William;" 2nd, Mr D. Griffith's "Flewer." This was. a hollow affair, the reputation of the trotters belong- ing to Mr D. Griffiths, of Ffrwdywhiad, being so high. No ordinary competitor feels disposed to con- test what he knows to be a foregone conclusion. 3rd: Farmers' Bace, one mile and a half, four entries-lat, Mr Jenkins', Pantyfallen, "Pollys" 2nd, Walter Jenkins', Glanwern, "Bay Cob." This was an exciting race towards the finish. 4th: Pony race, three entries, one mile and a balf-lat, Mr D. Evans', Talyfryn, "Bess;" 2nd, Mr J. Jones', veterinary surgeon, "Jack." The first pony was considered to be a very fast goer, and the second had a great deal of work to keep near her. Besa won easily. The hurdle races were then held. The wsa made over the fields between the town and the sea-shore, and was considered to be one of the best that could have been obtained. In the first hurdle race three entered—M«- J. J. Evan's "Cob- «obV. "polly»" "»d Mr J. Griffiths' SalJj. Cobweb was first favourite and showed great speed, but his failing was a desire to go the wrong side of the posts marking the course, in apite of the efforts of his rider to keep him straight and this lead to hig defeat. "Polly" came itt firat, and "Sally" was a good second. In the 2nd hurdle race there were three entries—Mr Jenkins', Blaen- plwyf. roan mare; Mr Davies Lloyd's, Jack, "Aeron Lass;" Mr J. Evans', auctioneer, "Silver." fhe two first mentioned were very evenly matched, and the opinion of the knowing ones Wail that "Aeron Lass" would win, but the rider of the roan mare struck the other on the head, and caused her to bolt, even then she gained so near as to lose only by half a length. Foul riding in these meetings should be a disqualiifcation, and it is to be hoped that some method may be adopted, whereby a check can be put TV* in future. The races being over the OI Rhow o{ Rtaiijong was held. Some splendid animals were shown. The prizes wer-e awarded as V Au!or ^le best heavy draught stallion— the property of Mr D. Evans, T Tlfrht^ Wmwr of the prize last year. For the bi' Jl,NLaUiRllt STBLLI™- MR D.

HETERODOXY AND TEETOTALISM-
HETERODOXY AND TEETOTALISM- To the Editor of the Aberystwyth Observer. Sir,-I read in your paper of the 8th inst., that the Good Templars at Towyn have been a source of annoyance to the tradesmen and peaceful inhabitants, who differ with them in their extreme views. I do not for a moment suppose that those excellent persons who, under the name of Good Templars, are endeavouring to convert the world te their views by the suppression of human nature, are conscious allies of infidelity, but I am confident that if any other body of men, whose orthodoxy is less question- able, were to take the same liberties with the sacred text as they do, they would be speedily howled down by the saints; To the candid and honest enquirer nothing is clearer than that the Bible, so far from giving sanction to the arms of these people, is diametrically opposed to them both in its letter and in its spirit. No doubt an excessive indulgence in intoxicating beverages is condemned, as over-eating and oversleeping are condemned, but the fact remains that their moderate use was not only per- mitted to the In-aclit.,s, but enjoined as part of their religion. The wine (yayin) which ma.de Noah drunk, which made Nabal drunk, which made the Ephramites drunk, which is described as a mocker, which inflames, which makes men noisy and causes them to forgot their poverty; the Israelites were ordered to offer a certain portion of it to the Deity; and the Deity himself describes it as possess- ing "a sweet savour for him;" and not only are they to offer winr< to the Lord, but they are invited to consume it themselves at their feasts, in terms which, coming from such a Power, look very like a. com- coming from such a Power, look very like a com- mand, "Thou shalt bestow that money for whatso- ever thy soni lusteth after, for oxen or for sheep or for wine (yayin), or for strong drink, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thy household"—(Deut. xiv. 26). In the rsalms we arc expressly told tha.t yayin has been given to man for the purpose of making his heart glad. We find it represented at the same time as one of the choicest blessings which the Almighty reserves for his chosen people, when restored to their own land, "I will bring again the captivity of my people, and they shall plant vineyards and drink the ynyin thereof." Indeed, the failure of wine from C'48(' the winepresses is among the severest judgements pronounced by God upon disobedience. Yet, while I find all this in my Bible concerning the liquid which makes glad the heart of man, and which is com- manded as an offering to the Deity himself, the teetotallers and Permissive Bill men are never tired of shouting in my ears that it is poison, that is the accursed thing, as if while the Almighty made the streams, and tea-leaf, and the coffee-berry, the Devil invented the wine. In the New Testament it is sufficient to say that the ministry of Christ commences with the production of wine, and closes with their sanctification. Those of your readers who desire further informa- tion on this subject should read an article whieh appeared in the Westminster Review for January, 1875, to which-my argument is mainly indebted.- Yonrs obediently, Tr-MPERATE. High-street, Towyn, 17th March, 1879.
AN APPEAL.
AN APPEAL. To the Editor of the Aberystwyth Obseri'er. SIB,—Knowing your readiness to assist a fellow- being in distress, I venture to solicit your kind per- mission to allow me through the medium of your valuable paper, to make an earnest appeal to the charitable public on behalf of David Edwards, Sarn- fach, in the parish of Llansadwrn, in the county of Carmarthen, farmer, who has recently suffered a heavy loss. On Friday night, the 7th instant, a most destructive fire breke out at Sarnfawr, a separate holding, situate in the parish of Cayo, and distant from Sarnfach about 250 yards, where Edwards ustd to keep his ca.ttlo, which, together with the premises, were completely destroyed. Three milch cows in calf, two heifers, one five-year-old tna.re in foal, a quantity of wheat, straw, and farming implements were burnt, to ashes. The less has been estimated at at least .£120, in consequence of which Edwards and his family have been rendered almost penniless. Ed- wards, who has a wife and two young children, is an industrious man, and sustains a conilistaut charactcr. I confidently recommend him as a. most deserving ob- ject of charity to all who wish to charitably aid a Christian brother in great need. The smallest con- tributions will he thankfully received by me, and duly acknowledged in the columns of the Obserrer.- I am, sir, yours, &c., P. W. GREEN, Vicar of Llansadwrn and Llanwrda.
THE TREATMENT OF NATIVE CATTLE.
THE TREATMENT OF NATIVE CATTLE. To the Editor of the Aberystwyth Observer. Sir,-Knowing that you always defend the weak against the oppression of the strong, I am induced, through your eolumns, to lay before your readers the following case of hardship. I was born about May, 1876, at a place called Cwmchynduoer, in the parish of Llanrhyatid. My owner for the first three weeks gave me skim milk, and then turned me out on Rhoshaminiog, where nothing grew but rushes and heather, and ever since I have had very little better fare. I am out in all kinds of weather, as the buildings are out of repair %nd afford very little shelter. In the winter I have only a little straw to live UpON. This is the kind of existence that I lead and the consequence of the treatment is, that I am diminutive in form and carry little flesh on my bones. My neighbour "Short horn," who lives in a rich well-sheltered pasture, tells me that until he was six months' old he had the whole of his mother's milk and sometimes the milk of another cow; he had also without stint eggs, boiled linseed, barley flour, oil cake, the best hay well-chaffed, and pulped turnips. And to prevent any snow, sleet or rain falling on my neighbour "Short-horn" he sometimes has a covered yard to promenade in. I now ask you, Mr Editor, is it marvelous that my neighbour "Short-horn" is heavier than I am? I perceive by the public prints that large prizes are to be given to "Shorthorns," and that though my family have prizes of the same value, they only oocnpy tlte second place in the catalogue. Pray can you tell me if "The North Cardiganshire Agricultural Society expect the poor farmers of the district to get rid of their black cattle and substitute "Shorthorns" ? It a happens that there are only seven persons in the dis- trict who breed "Shorthorns," but they do mischief in this way; they give their tenants, who keep black eows, the use of their shorthorn bulls, and the con. sequenee is that the prodnee is piebald mongrels of every shape and colour. Now my advice to these well intentioiaed people is thw. Discontinue, as much as possible the breeding of "Shorthorns," as being wholly unsuitsd to the farmers and elimate of this country and let the* encourage the Ai^leseaor Castle MartSn type; and, in order to commence tho movement, let Loud Lisbnme, or .¡¡ome other large landed proprietors, by good treatment, dhow how much the native Welsh cattle can be improved. Re- member, Mr Editor, that by perseverance ani good treatment you can increase the sire of cattle, and, a a the Scotch have done, can astablish;a peculiar type of auy kind. I would also suggest that no prize be given to "Shorthorns," as the owners do not reqnire the stimulus of a prize, and particularly as the funds of the society are not in a most flourishing sfate. Fearing you will consider me wearisome, £ will ra»w close this appeal, and beg yon wili pity tfce sorrows of poor EIDON DU. Aberayron, March
