gv to the school after, so thee mustna | wonder if Ima bit late. Seth ‘ull be at | home in half an hour—he’s only gone to the village, so thee wonta@ ind.’

‘En ! an’ what’s thee got thy best cloose on for to go to th’ Hall Farm? The Poy- ser folks see’y thee in ’em yesterday. I warrane What dost mean by turnin’ worki'day into Sundey a-that'n? Its poor keepin’ company wi’ foiks as donna like to see thee 1 thy workiu’ jacket.’ | ‘Good-bye, mother, L can’t stay,’ said | Adam, putting on his hat and going out. | But he had no sooner gone a few paces | beyoud the door than Lisbeth became un- |eusy at the thought that she had vexed him. | Of course the secret of her objection to the |best clothes was her suspicion that they | were put on for Hetty’s sake; but deeper | than all her peevishness lay the need that | her son should love her. She hurried after | him. and laid hold of his arm before he haa got half way down to the brook, and said :

‘Nay, my lad, thee wotna go away an- gered wi’ thy mother, an’ her got nought to do but to sit by herself an’ think on thee 7’

‘Nay, pay, my mother,’ said Adam, gravely, and standing still while he puc his arm on her shoulder, ‘1 am not angered; but I wish, for thy own sake, thee’dst he more contented to let me do what I’ve made up my mind todo. Ill never be no other than a good son tu thee as long as we live. But a man has other feelings besides what he owes to his father and mother, and thee onghtna to want to rule over me body and soul. And thee must make up thy mind, as l’ll not give way to thee where I've aright todo whatI like. So let us have no more words about it.’

‘Eh!’ said Lisbeth, not willing to show that she felt the real bearing of Adam’s words, ‘an’ who likes to see thee i’ thy best cloose better than thy mother? An’ when thee’st get thy face washed as clean as the smooth white pebble, an’ thy hair combed so nice, an’ thy eyes a-sparklin‘—whai. else is there as thy old mother should like to look at half so well? An’ thee sha’t put om thy Sunday cloose when thee lik’st for me—I’ll ne’er plague thee no more about’n.’

‘Well, well; good-bye, mother,’ said Adam, kissing her, and hurrying away. He saw there was no means of putting an end to the dialogue. Lisbeth stood still on the spot, shading her eyes, and looking after him till he was quite out of sight. She felt to the full all the meaning that had lain in Adam’s words, and, as she lost sight of him and turned back slowly into the house, she said aloud to herself—for it was her way to speak her thoughts aloud in the long days, when her husband and sons were at work—‘ Eh ! he'll be tellin’ me as he’s goin’ to bring her home ene o’ these days; an’ she'll be missis o’er me, an’ I mun look on, belike, while she uses the blue-edged platters, an’ breaks em mayhap, though there’s ne’er been one broke sine my old man an’ me bought ‘em at the fair twenty ’ear come next Whitsuntide. Eh ! she went on, still louder, as she caught up her knitting from the table, ‘but she’ll ne'er knit the lads’ stockin’s, nor foot ’em nay- ther, while I live; an’ when I’m gone, he'll bethink him as nobody ‘ull ne’er fit’s leg and foot as his old mother did. She'll know nothin’ o’ narrowin’ an’ heelin’, I warrand. an’ she’ll make a long toe as he canna get’s boot on. That’s what comes o’ marryin’ young wenches. I war gone thirty, and th’ feyther too, afore we war married, an’ young enough too. She'll be a poor dratchell by then she's thirty, a marr’in’ a- that’n, afore ber teeth’s all come.’

Adam walked so fast that he was at the yard gate before seven. Martin Poyser avd the crandtather were not yet come in ifrom the meadow; every one was in the

’

Men’s White Cambric Hand-| meadow; even to the black-and-'an-terrier ;|

no one kept watch in the yard but the bulldog, and when Adam _ reached | the house door, which stood wide open, he _sawthere was no one in the bright clean ‘house place. But he guessed where Mrs, | Poyser and some one éise would be quite

| within hearing; so he knocked on the door

} i

and said, with his strong voice, ‘Mrs. | Poyser within?’

| ‘Gomme in, Mr. Bede, come in,’ Mrs, | Poyser called out from the dairy. She !

jalways gave Adam this title when she re- ceived him in her own home.

| Adam walked into the dairy, where Mrs. _Poyser and Nancy were crushing the first evening cheese.

| ‘Why you might think you war come to a ‘dead house,’ said Mrs. Poyser, as he stood |in the door-way ; ‘they’re all ‘i the meadow; i but Martin’s sure to be in afore long, for |they’re leaving the hay cocked to-night |ready for carrying first thing tu-morrow. {I've been forced to have Nancy in, upon | count as Hetty must gather the red cur- irants to-night; the fruit always ripens so contrairy, just when every hand’s wanted. An’ there’s no trutein’ the children to ‘gether it, for they put more ’i their own mouths vor into the basket ; you might as | well set the wasps to gether the fruit.’

| Adam longed to say he Would go into the ‘garden till Mr. Poyser came in, but he was

0’ bread’s sweet t’every body but the baker. |The Miss Irwines alleys ray, ‘O, Mra, Poyser, lenvy you your chickens; and what a beautiful thing a farm house is, to be sure!’ An’ I say ‘Yis ; a faim house is a fine thing for them as look on, an’ don’t know the liftin’, an’ the stannin’, and the worritin’ o’ the inside as belongs to’t.’

‘Why, Mre. Poyser, you wouldn’t like to live any place else bt in a farm house,so well as you manage it,’ said Adem, taking the bassin; ‘and there can be nothing to look at pleasanter nor a fine milch cow. standing up to its knees in pasture, and the pew milk frothing in the pail, and the iresh butter ready for market, and the calves and the poultry. Here’s te your health, and your aliers have strength to lock after your own dairy, and set a pattern t’ all the farm- ers’ wives in the country.’

A mass meeting of 10,000 unemployed workingmen was held in London Saturday afternoon. A resolution was passed de- claring that: ‘*The depression in trade, chronic poverty, and difticulty of finding work, are intolerable evils to which those who svffer them ought not to tamely sub- mit. These evils result from the denial of the equal rights of men in the elements which the Creator has provided.

Winans, the American millionaire, whose big deer park in Scotland was invaded by @ cobbler’s pet lamb, and who sued the cob- bler for damages, has met with a rebuke. Justice declared for the cobbler, who won the suit and was awarded heavy costs. The down trodden millionaire may new hold meetings to protest against the bloated monopolists at the cobbler’s bench ; for it was admitted that the cobbler’s lamb did eat the grass, for which Winans paid with his own savings.

A strange story comes to the notice of the Bridgewater, N. S., Times, from Lake: ville, N S.
