CHAPTER XXL.

|THE NIGHT SCHOOL AND THE SCHOOLMASTER.

3ARTLE Massey's was one of a few scat- ‘tered houses on the edge of a common,

which was divided by the road to Treddle- |

‘ston. Adam reached it in a quarter of an ‘hour after leaving the Hali Farm; and ' when he had his hand on the door laich he ‘could see, through the curtainless window, | that there were eight or nine heads bending over the desks, lighted by thin dips.

When he entered a reading lesson was going forward, and Bartle Massey merely nodded, leaving him to take his place where he pleased. He had not come for the sake of a lesson to-night, and his mind was too full of personal matters, too full of the last two hours he had passed in Hetty’s pre- sence, for him to amuse himself with a book till school was over; so he sat down in acorner and looked on with an absent mind. It was asortof scene which Adam had beheld almost weekly for years; he knew by heart every arabesque flourish in

the framed specimen of Bartle Massey’s handwriting which hung over the schoolmaster’s head, by way of

keeping a lofty ideal before the minds of his pupils; he knew the backs of all the books on the shelf running along ‘he whitewashed wall above the pegs for the slates; he knew exactly how many grains were gone out of the ear of Indian- corn that hung from one of the rafters; he had long ago exbausted the resources of his imagivation in trying to think how the bunch of feathery sea-weed had looked and grown in its native element; and from the place where he sat he could make nothing of the old map of England that hung against the opposite wall, for age had turned it of a fine yellow brown, something like that of a well-seasoned meerschaum. The drama that was going on was a)most as familiar as the scene, nevertheless habit had not made him indifferent to it, and even in his present self-absorbed mood, Adam felt a momentary stirring of the old fellow-feeling, as he looked at the rough men painfully holding pen or pencil with their cramped hands, or humbly laboring through their reading lesson.

The reading class now seated on the form in front of the school-master’s desk, con- sisted of the three most backward pupils. Adam would have known it, only by seeing Bartle Massey’s face as he looked over his

KER, Uf you want the istest news. Charivitetown, Dev. 19, 1884.

spectacles, which he had shifted to the ridge of his nose, not requiring them for present purposes. The face wore its mildest ex-

pression; the grizzled bushy eyebrows had taken their more acute angle of compas-

sionate kindness, and the mouth, habitual-

ly compressed with a pout of the lower lip,

was relaxed so as to be ready to speak &

helpful word or syllable in a moment. This

general expression was the more interesting

because the school-master’s nose, an ir-

regular aquiline twisted a little to one side,

had rather a formidable character; and his

brow, moreover, had that peculiar tension

which always impresses one asa sign of

a keen impatient temperament; the blue

veins stood out like cords under the trans-

parent yellow skin, and this intimidating

brow was softened by no tendeney to bald-

ness, for the grey bristly hair, cut down to

about an inch in length, stood round it in as close ranks as ever.

‘Nay, Bill, nay,’ Bartle was saying, in a kind tone, as he nodded to Adam, ‘begin that again, and then perhaps it'll come to you what d, r, y, spells. It’s the same lesson you read last week, you know.’

‘Bill’ was a sturdy fellow, aged four-and- twenty, an excellent stone-sawyer, who could get as good wages as any man in the trade of his years ; but he found a reading lesson in words of one syllable a harder matter to deal with than the hardest stone he had ever had to saw. The letters, he complained, were so ‘uncommon alike, there was no tellin’ ‘em one from another,’ the sawyer’s business not being concerned with minute differences such as exists between a letter with its tail turned up and a leiter with its tail turned down. But Bill had a firm determination that he would learn to read, founded chiefly on two rea- sons : first, that Tom Harlow, his cousin, could read anything ‘right off,’ whether it was print or writing, end Toi had sent him a letter from twenty miles off saying how he was prospering in the world, and had got an overlooker’s place, secondly, that Sam Phillips, who sawed with him had learned to read when he was turned twenty, aud what could be done by a little feilow like Sam Philips, Bill considered, could be done by himself, seeing that he could ponnd Sam into wet clay if circumstances required it. So here he was pointing his big finger toward three words at once, and turning his head on one side that ho might keep better hold with his eyeof the one word which was to be discriminated out of the group. The amount of knowledge Bartle Massey must possess was something so dim and vast that Bill’s imagination recoiled before it; he would hardly have ventured to deny the school-master might have something to do in bringng about the regular return of day- light avd the changes in the weather,

The man seated next to Bill was of a very different type ; he was a Methodist brick- maker, who, after spenci»g thirty years of nig life in perfect satisfaction with his ignorance, had lately “‘sot religion,’ and along with it the deswe to reed the Bible. but with him, too, learning was a heavy business, and on his way out to- night, he had offered as usue!, a special prayer for help, seeing that he had under- taken this hard task with a single eye to the

hymns wherewith to banish evil memories and the temptations of evil habits; or, im brief Jangnage, the devil. For the brick-

maker had been a noiorious poacher, and was suspected, though there was no good evidence against him, of being the man who shot a neighboring gamekeeper in the leg. However that may be, it was vertain that

nourishment of his son—that he might. have a greater abundance of texts and.

shortly after the accident referred te, which was coincident with the arrival of an awak- ening Methodist preacher at Treddleston, a great change had been observed in the brickmaker; and though he was sti}] known in the neighborhood by his old sobriquet of ‘Brimstone,’ there was nothing he held in so much horror as any further transactions with that evil-smelling element. He wasa broad-chested fellow with a fervid tempeora- ment, which helped him better in imbibing religious ideas than in the dry process of acquiring the more human knowledge of the alphabet. Indeed, he had been already a little shaken in his resolution by a brother Methodist, who assured him that the letter was a mere obstruction to the Spirit,and ex- pressed a fear that Brimstone was too eager for the knowledge that puffeth up.

FROM NEW YORK TO LIVERPOOL IN FIVE DATS

A Toronto despatch to New York papors says: A gigantic railway scheme is on foot which is likely to revolutionize the Ameri- can-European traffic both as regards the passenger and freight business, if it can be carried to a successful issue. The scheme, which is proposed by the Canadian Pacific railway, is the construction of a railroad from Quebec along the north shore of the St. Lawrence river to some point on the cast coost of Labrador to connect with steam- ships for ports in Europe. The ocean voy- age between America avd Europ? would be reduced to three days, and steamships would only be out of sight of land for one complete day. The distance from Quebec to the Labrador coast would be about 800 iniles, and this route would have an advan- tage over the proposed Canadian route to urope, via Newfoundland, as it would not require a ferry, and it is stated to be shorter than the Newfoundland route, for, slthough the most eastern shore of New- {oundland seems in the maps to be nearer to Europe than any points on the Labrad.x coast, it is thought that this is cnly apparent owing to the incorrect geography oi this country. By travelling 800 miles northeast of Quebec, a point of land would be reach- ed half as far from Liverpool as New York is. Aman could get into a palace car at New York or Boston, Monday morning, take the European steamer on the Labrador coast Tuesday evening, and reach Liverpoo! Friday evening. A railway by the route proposed would not, it is thought, be more difficult to operate all the year round, or during the nine or ten months that the Labrador coast would be open, than the other ports of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, particularly thet part of which is being constructed north of Lake Superior. The railway would run along the St. Lawrence, only leaving it to make it the shortest route to the coast. If the Cana- Jian Pacific railway can obtain the requsite amount of money from the Canadian Gov- ernment, it is thought quite possible thie project will be undertaken. The crossing of the Saguenay could probably be accom- plished by a suspension bridge.

Duncan C. Ross.

HE WILL RENOUNCE WRESTLING AND ENTER THE MINISTRY.

The announcement was made in Cleve- land, Ohio, recently, that Duncan C, Ross, the famous Scotch athlete, had given up his saloon business, in Cleveland, renounced athletica and decided to enter the ministry. To a reporter who called to ascertain the trath of the report, Ross said :

‘Yea; Iam going to give up my saloon and shall wrestle no more. I have decided to enter the pulpit, and am now perfecting plans for that purpose, I have to-night written a letter to the Faculty at Trinity College, a theological seminary at Toronto, for admission, and hope to obtain a favor- able reply ; and if I do I shall immediately close up my affairs in Cleveland and enter. My purpose is to take a two-years course of study in theology, and to then enter the winistry.’

‘What has caused your present determin- ation ? was asked.

‘Principally a desire to help my fellow- men,’ replied the great athlete, earnestly.’ ‘Since my wife's death I have no heart to resume my wrestling matches, and the saloon business has always been obnoxious tome. Besides 1 am now convinced that it is the way 1 can do the most good, and that it is my duty. In my particular busi- ness ] have seen many things that will be useful to me in the pulpit. It will not be wy purpose to wage war upon the saloonist. In other words, I shall not pose a8 4 re- formed druvkard, for I have never been @ drvnkard. Neither am I to preach and ad- vocate temperance exclusively. Jt is rather my design to point out to the young the dangers that lie in wait for them in the great cities, and to advocate a vigorous war on the disreputable dens that infest the city, and the bad characters they shelier and protect. There isa tieid for such work, and | am confident I shall sucoved init, I hope to get away from the city in two ‘weeks, and to enter the college by the first of February.’

It has been supposed that the potato, haviug originated im a dry soil and a dry climate (on the higher Andes) owes its pre- ‘disposition to dwease to the oxcess of ‘humidity in other climates. Ail varieties

of the potato belong to the species Solanum

‘tuberosum, but there is another species ‘known as Solanum maliga, discovered by | the late Dr. Darwin in the Choros Archi- pelago, where the land is low and mareby. Last summer, under the direction of Lord Cathcart, a successful attempt was made’ a’ cross fertilization, and the result warrants the hope thai a new race of potatoes is like- ly to epring into existence. If so, varieties may be originated to euit every soil and climate without danger of disease. There is cleo another species known as Solanum Jamesii, which may also be of use tbe composition of the mew rece.
