| | CHAPTER XVUL (Contin i.)
Mr. Craig was never aware that his con- 'versation and advances were received jcoldly, for to shift one’s point of view , beyond certain limits is impossible to the most liberal and expansive mind ; we are none of us aware of the impression we produce on Brazilian monkeys of feeble understanding; it is possible they see hardly anything in us. Moreover, Mr. Craig was a man of sober passions and was already in his tenth year of hesitation as to the rela- tive advantages of matrimony and bachelor- hood. It is true that, now and then, when he had been a little heated by an extra glass of grog that he had been heard to say of Hetty that the ‘lass was well enough,’ and that ‘a man might do worse ;’ but on convivial occasions men are apt to express themselves strongly.
Martin Poyser held Mr. Craig in honor as aman who ‘knew his business,’ and who had great lights concerning soils and com- post; but he was iess of a favorite with Mrs. Poyser, who had more than once said in confidence to her husband ‘Your’e mighty fond o’ Craig; but, for my part I think he’s welly like a cock as think’s the sun’ rose 0’ purpose to hear him crow.’ For! the rest, Mr. Craig was an estimable | gardever, and was not without reasons for having a high opinion of himself, He had also high shoulders and high cheek-bones, and hung his head forward a little as he walked along with his hands in his breeches pockets. I think it was his pedi- gree only that had the advantage of being Scotch, and not his ‘bringing up;’ for, ex- cept that he had a stronger burn in his accent, his speech differed little from that of the Loamshire people about him. But a gardener is Scotch, as a French teacher is Parisian,
‘Well, Mr. Poyser,’ he said, before the! good slow farmer had time to speak, ‘ye’ll not be carrying your hay to-morrow, I'm! thinking; the glass sticks at ‘change,’ and) ye may rely upo’ my word as we'll ha’ more | downfall afore twenty-four hours is past. | Ye see that darkish-blue cloud there upon the ’rizon—you may know what I mean by the ’rizon, where the sky and land seems to meet.’
‘Aye, aye, | see the cloud,’ said Mr, Poyser, ’rizon or no ’rizon, It's right o’er Mike Holdsworth’s fallow, anda foul fal- low it is.’
‘Well, you mark my words, as that cloud ‘ull spread o’er the sky pretty nigh as quick as you'd spread a tarpaulin over one o’ your hayricks. It’s a great thing to ha’ studied the looks o’ the clouds. Lord bless you ! the met’orological almanacs can learn me nothing, but there's a pretty sight o’ things I could let them up to if they'd just come to me. And how are you, Mrs. Poyser? thinkin’ o’ getherin’ the red currants soon, [ reckon. You’da deal better gether ‘em afore they're o’er ripe wi’ such weather as we've got to look forward to. How do ye do, Mistress Bede? Mr. Craig continued, without a pause, nodding, by the way to Adam and Seth. ‘I hope y’ enjoyed them spinach and gooseberries as I sent Chester with the other day. If ye want vegetables while ye’re in trouble, ye know where to come to. It’s well known I’m not giving other folk’s things away ; for when I’ve supplied the house, the garden’s my own spekilation, and it isna every man th’ old Squire could get as ‘ud be equil to th’ un- dertaking, let alone asking whether he’d be willing. I’ve got to run my calkilation fine, I can tell you, to make sure o’ getting back the money as I pay the Squire. I should like to see scme o’ them fellows as make th’ almanecs looking as far before their noses as I’ve got to do every year as comes.’ ‘They look pretty fur, though,” said Mr. Poyser, turning his head on one side, and speaking in rather a subdued, reverential tone. ‘Why, what could come truer nor that pictur o’ the cock wi’ th’ anchor, an’ the firin,’ amd the ships behind? Why, that pictur was made afore Christmas, and yit it’s come as true as th’ Bible. Why, th’ cock’s France, an, th’ anchor’s Nelson—an they told us that beforehand.’
‘Pee—ee-eh !” said Mr. Craig. ‘A man dosen: want to see fur to know as th’ English ’ull beat the French. Why, I know upo’ good authority, asit’s a big Frenchman as reaches five feet, and they live upo’ speon meat mystly. I knew aman as his father had a particular knowledge o’ the French. I should like to know what them grasshoppers are to do against such fine fellows as our young Captain Arthur Why, it weuld astonish a Frenchman only to look at him; his arm’s thicker nor a Frenchman s body, I'll be bound, for they pinch theirselves 7? wi’ stays ; and it’s easy enough, for they’ve got nothing i their in- sides.’
‘Where is the Captain, as he wasn't at church to-day? said Adam. ‘I was talking to him on Friday, and he said nothing about bis going away.’
‘Oh, he’s only gone to Eagledale for a bit o’ fishiug; I reckon hell be hack again afore many days are o’er, for he’s to be at all th’ arranging and preparing o’ things for the coming o’ age o’ the thirtieth o’ July, But he’s fond o’ getting away fora bit, now andthen. Him and the old Squire fit one another like frost and flowers.’
Mr. Craig smiled and winked slowly as he made his last observation, but the sub- ject was aot developed farther, for now they had reached ‘the turning in the road where Adam and his companions must say ‘good bye.’ The gardener, too, would
again him, on’y it was a pity he couldna be hatched o’er again, an’ hatched different.’ So Adam and Seth, with their mother between them, wound their way down to ,the valley and up again to the old house, | where a saddened memory had taken the | place of a long, long anxiety—where Adam | would never have to ask again as he entered . * Where’s father ? ; | And the other family party, with Mr. | Craig for company, went back to the plea- sant little house-place at the Hall Farm— jall with quiet minds, except Hetty, who | knew now where Arthur was gone, but was | only the more puzzled and uneasy. For it | appeared that his absence was quite volun- | tary; he need not have gone—he would not ‘have gone if ne wanted to see hex, Sho |had a sickening sense that no lot could ever be pleasant to her again if her Thurs- day night’s vision was not fulfilled; and in this moment of chill, bare, wintery possi- bility of being with Arthur again, of meet- ing his loving glance and hearing his soft words, with that eager yearning which ono may call the ‘ growing pain’ of passion, (To be continied,)
Trade of Montreal.
The annual report of the council of the Board of Trade of Montreal coutains much interesting information respecting the com- merce of that port during the past year. The aggregate trade has been satisfactory, reaching : —
Exports, Imports. Total. 1880... $30,224,904 $47,103,869 $67,322,773 1881.... 26,561,183 43,646,821 70,198,009 1882.... 26,334,312 49,749,461 76,083,773 1883.... 27,277,159 43,718,549 70,995 708 1884. 27,145,427 42,366,793 69,512,292
Compared with 1882, the year in which the trade of the port was at high-water mark, that of last year shows a reduction in value of only about 9 per cent., or con- siderably less than the decline in prices which occurred in the interval. la other words, though less jn value, the commerce of the year was greater in quantity than ever before. The statistics of the trade in suger illustrate this point, the import of that article in 1884 employing 34,707 tons of shipping, against 18,960 tons in 1883, and 21,686 tons in 1882, but the value of the import has increased in nothing like so great a proportion because of the fall of nearly 50 per cent. in the price. The export trade, it will be observed, has been fully maintained. The export catile trade has attained remarkably large proportions, no fewer than 56,643 head of cattle having been sent abroad last year, as against 28,491 head in 1882, The Gazette says : ‘*The important position oceu- pied by the port of Montreal in relation to the foreign trade of the Dominion is shown in the fact that 40 per cent. of the total imports of the country and about 30 per
cent of the total exports are made through it.” a ~ Saving the Colors. HOW THE NINETY-NINTH AVOIDED ONE
HUMILIATION AT SEDAN,
The Cri du Peuple publishes the follow- ing reminiscence of Sedan ;—
After the surrender of Sedan all the French regiments were ordered to turn over their colors to the Prussians. The oflicers of the Ninety-ninth regiment of the line decided to avoid such a humiliation. They agreed to bury their colors in the garden of an inhabitant of Sedan, who formally engaged himself upon his honor not to divulge the secret. All the officers took an oath to keep the secret, and it wae understood that after the war a delegate from the regimental officers should be sent to the garden to find and resture to the regiment the colors and the eagle. Captain Baratte, one of the oflicers of the Ninety- ninth, went the next day to the owner of the garden where the colors had been buried. He dug out the colors and carried them away. About a fortnight afterward Captain Baratte presented himself to Gen- eral Le Flo, then Minister of War, at Paris, and related the following narrative of his adventures :—
‘‘During the night I disguised myself in a pair of torn trousers and a blue gingham blouse. I put on a peasant’s cap and wood- en shoes. 1 wrapped the regimental colors round my body next the skin. I succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the Prussian sentries and managed to reach the Meuse. God only knows what agony I suffered at the fear of being captured. The banks of the Meuse were guarded by three cordons of sentinels. 1 was fired at, aithough wounded, succeeded in plunging into the river and swam across to the opposite side of the bank, thoroughly prostrated with fatigue and loss of blood. I concealed my- self in the woods of Douchery and Ligny. Soon German cavalry passed through the woods. I washunted by the Ulhans like a wild beast and passed twenty-four houra without eating and drinking. At last [ managed to reach the Belgian frontier at Sugry, and thence I passed into France again and then by the canals to Paris. Here are the regimental oclors,which | now hand to you.”
General Le Filo embraced the brave cap- tain and at once named bim Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur.

New Female Pedestrian
A Hungarian lady who possesses the very uneuphonious name of Radivojevic, has lately accomplished the feat of walking
have had to turn off in the same direction if he had not accepted Mr. Poyser’s invita- tion to tea. Mrs. Poyser duly seconded the invitation, for she would have held it a \deep disgrace not to make her neighbors 'welcome to her house; personal likes and dislikes must not intertere with that sxc ed }custom, Moreover, Mr. Craig had always ibeen full of civilities to the family at the | Hall Farm, and Mrs. Poyser was scrupulous
in declaring that she had ‘ nothing to say”
from Buda-Pesth to Paris in 28 days, It ‘looks a frightful distance on the map, and ‘some one has reckoned up the leagues, and | says she must have walked an average of 33 ‘a day. There was much betting on the levent, and it is said that Mme. Radivoje- ‘vie intends walking back again to Buda- /Pesth. She was a governess before she (entered on her new profession, which she ‘says is much less fatiguing than her pre- vious one.
