MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 1885, ADAM BiDE.

CHAPTERXV (Continued )

The boys were out of hand now, but ‘otty was stilla day-long plague, worse than either of the others had been, because there was more fuss made about her. And there was no end to the making and mend- ing of clothes. Hetty would have been vlad to hear that she should never see a child again; they were worse than the nasty little lambs that the shepherd was always bringing in to be taken special care of in lambing time, for the lambs were got rid of sooner or later. As for the young chickens and turkeys, Hetty would have hated the very word ‘ hatching” if her aunt had not bribed her to attend to the young poultry by promising her the pro- ceeds of one out of every brood. The round downy chicks peeping out from under their mother’s wing never touched Hetty with any pleasure; that was not the sort of prettiness she cared about; but she did care about the pretiiness of the things she would buy for herself at Treddleston fair with the money they fetched. And yet she looked so dimpled, so charming, as she stooped down to put the soaked bread under the hen-coop, that you must have been a very acute personage indeed to suspect her of that hardness. Molly, the housemai4, with a turn up nose and a protuberarnt jaw, was really a tender-hearted girl, and, as Mrs | Poyser said, a jewel to look after the poul- ‘try; but her stolid face showed nothing of this maternal delight any more than a brown earthenware pitcher will show the light of the Jamp within it

i It is generally a feminine eye that first detects the moral deficiencies bidden under ‘the ‘dear deceit’ of beauty; so it is not surprising that Mrs. Poyser, with her /keenness and abundant opportunity for ‘observation, should have formed a tolerably fair estimate of what might be exoected from Hetty iu the way of feeling, and in ‘moments of indignation she had sometimes ‘spoken with great openness un the subject to her husband.

‘She's no better than a peacock, as ‘ud sirut about on the wall and spread its tail | When the sun shone if all the folks i’ the ‘parish was dying; there’s nothing scens _to give her a turn i th’ inside, not even | when we thought Totty had tumbled into ‘the pit. To think o’ that dear Cherub! ' And we found her wi’ her little shoes stuck \1’ the mud an’ crying fit to break her heart by the far horse-pit. Hetty never minded .it, I could see, though she’s been at the ;nussin’ o’ the child iver since it was a

‘babby. It’s my belief her heart’s as hard }as a pibble.’

| ‘Nay, nay, said Mr. Poyser, ‘ thee mustn't judge Hetty too hard. Them

young girls are like th’ unripe grain— they'll make good meal by-and-by, but they're squashy yit. Thee’t see, Hetty'll |be all right when she’s got a good husband }an’ children of her own.’

‘I don’t want to be hard upo’ the gell, She’s got cliver fingers of her own, and can be useful enough when she_ likes, and I should miss her wi’ the butier, for she’s wot a cool hand. An let be what aay strive to do my part by a niece o' yours, an’ ‘that I’ve done; for I've taught her every- | thing as telongs to a house, an’ I've told her her duty often enough, though, God ,knows, I’ve no breatif to spare, an’ that ‘eatchin’ pain comes on dreadful by times. | Wi’ them three gells in the house, I'd need to have twice the strength to keep ’em up to their work. I's like having roast meat ,at three fires ; asscon as you’ve basted one, -another’s burnin’,’ | Hetty stood sufficiently in awe of her

aunt to be anxicus to conceal from her so ‘much of her vanity as could he hidden {without too great a sacrifice. She could |not resist spending her money in bits of ifinery which Mrs. Poyser disapproved; but she would have been ready to die with | Shame, vexation, and fright, if her aunt ‘had this moment opened the door, and ;seen her with her bits of candle lighted, and strutting about decked in her scarf and earrings. To prevent such a surprise, she always bolted her door, avd she had not for- gotten to do so to-night. It was well; for there now came a light tap, and Hetty,with ialeaping heart, rushed to blow out the ‘candles and throw them into the drawer. | She dare not stay to take out her earrings, ‘but she thew off her scarf and let it fall on the floor before the light tap came again. | We shall know how it was that the light | tap came, if we leave Hetty for a short time jand return to Dinah at the moment when ishe had delivered Totty to her mother’s ‘arms, and was come up stairs to her bed- room adjoining Hetty’s.

* Dinah delighted in her bed-room window. |Being on the second story of that tall ‘house, it gave her a wide view over the ‘fields. The thickness of the wall formed a |broad step about a yard below the window, where she could plece her chair. And now

more intensely the presence of a love and spmp thy deeper and more tender than was breathed from the earth and sky. That Was often Dinah’s mode of praying in soli- rade. S:mply to close her eyes and to feel herself inclosed by the Divine Presence . then gradually her feara, her yearning anxieties for others, melted away like ice- crystals in a warm ocean. She had eat in this way perfectly still, with her hands crossed on her lap, and the pale light resting on her calm face, for at leest in minutes, wien she was startled by a loud sound, ap- parently of something faliing in Hetty’s room ; but, like all sounds that falls on our ears in a state of abstraction it had no dis- tinet character, but was simply loud and startling, so 1hatewe felt uncertain whether she had interpeted it rightlw~ She rose and listened, but all was guet alterward, and she reflected that Het'y wight merely have knocked something down in geetting into bed. She began slowly to undress ; but now owing to the ang-

gestions of this sound, her thoughts became conceutrated on Hetty; that sweet young thing, with life and ali

its trials before her—the solemn daily duties of the wife and mother~and her mind so unprepared for them all; bent merely on littie, foolish, selfish pleasure, like a chiid hugging its toys in the bevinning of a long, toilsome journey, in which i+ will hive to bear hunger, and cold, and unseliered darkness. Dinah felt a double care for Hetty, because she shared Seth’s «vxious inteiest in his brether’s lot, and she hed not come to the conclusion that Hetty did not love Adam well enough toe mrry him. She eaw too clearly the absence of any warm, self devoting love in H.tiy’s nature to regard the cvidness of her behavior toward Adam as any indication that he was not the man she vould hke to have for a husband. And this blank in Herty’s nature, instead of exciting Dinah’s dis ike, only touched her with a deeper pity; the lovely face and form affected her as beauty always affects a pure and tender mind free from selfish jealousies; it was an excellent divine gift, that gave a deeper pathos to the need, the sin, the sorrow with which it was mingled, as the canker in a lily-white hud is more grievous to behold than in @ cou - mon pot-herb.

(To be continwed.)

Opinions of the People ADJOURNED MEETING ar LONDON, A very large body of the electors of Queen’s County, on the north side of the isknd, assembled at Stanley Hall on the 29th uit. The chairman, Walier Simpson, Esq., took the chair, and called uyon Dr. McNeill to read the resolutions which were passed at the last nieeting, and after a good deal of discussion they were unanimously endorsed by the meeting upon a reccnsider- ation of the railway rsolution and winter communication, The fcilowing are the resolutions cl ar of the railway one which yeu published already :

STANLEY, NEW

Whereas. The means used to fulfil the T: ras of Union, relative to winter commrn - cation, are utter y ivadequa’e, and whcreas the British Government by the Carn«rvon

s, caused the D. minion Government to spene Million dollors a:nwally in the Province of British Coumbia, until such time as they were able to tala) she terms of Union with said Province relalive” to The ; Raiiway, and whereas this Island bas suffered immensely by the non- ulfilment of terms re- specting winter communication; be it there- ore!

Resolved, That our represertatives do urge upon the Government the fulfiment of tre terms, and obtain ample justice for this Prov- and

ince, vntil more c¢ffectuel means are used, that they insist on spending annually in this Wrovince, up°n branch

railways a sum commensurate with the lors sustained by this province in addition to the regular legitimate experditures on public works, until st ch time as the terms of Union are actually fulfilled.

Carried unanimeusly. It was seconded, and unanimously carried.

Whereas, A Money Order Office woul! be « great convenience to the people of New Loadon Cavendish, Hope River and Grenville, and whereas the establishment: f euch an offic does not involve a money outlay, be it there- fore

Resolved, ‘Th»t our representatives do urge upon the Post Office authorities the necrssity of establishing such an office without d lay, as the business of this part of the country require such accommodation.

Resolved. That, whereas the breakwater at New !ondon is Camag d and beiny under- mined by the storms ond heavy seas, and whereas it is desirable that the unfi i-hid dam at Campbeiton Island should be com- pleted without delay.

Resolved, That our representatives do urge upon the Minister of Public Works the im- mediate necessity of repairing the demage done to the old work, ana completing the eaid dam to the channel as 20on as possible,

It was moved, seconded and carried un- animously

moved,

| the first thing she did on entering her room ‘was to seat herself in this chair, and look | ‘out onthe peaceful fields, beyond which | the large mocn was rising just above the hedgerow elms. Sie liked the pasture best! |where the milch cows were lying, and next! to that the meadow where the grass was) /balf mown, and lay in silvered sweeping | lines. Her heart was very full, for there, | was to be only one more night on which she jwould lock out on those fields for a long time to come ; but she thought litile lof lcaving the mere scene, fer to’ |her bleak Snowfield had just as many charms ; she thought of all the dear people whom she had learned to care for among

That Whereas, The lights and harbor buriness rejative to the buoys and the keeping of ‘he lights are subject to great divsa icfac- tiou, be it therefore

Resolved, That our representatives be in- structed to obtain an investigation of ibe same, and order the removal vf all grievances and irregularities relative thereto

It was moved by John O. Olark, Esq., seconded by Dr, McNeill, and carried unaoimously ;

Whereas, Prince Edward JIelard had a Minister in the ( abinet under b th the Ketorm and = Liberal-Conseivature = Admitistrations until Mr Pope was laid aside by «filicticn ;

And Whereas. This Islacd has pow ax good
