ADAM BEDE.

CHAPTER LIIL. (¢ ‘ontin wed.)

Mr. Craig prused a momeat with an em- phatic stare after this triumphant specimen of Socratic argument, and then added, after thumping the table rather fiercely

‘Why, it’s a sure thing—and there’s them ‘ull bear witness to’t-—as 1’ one regiment where there’s one man a missing, they put the regimentals on a big monkey; and they iit him as the shell fits the walnut, and you couldn’t tell the monkey from the moun- seers!’

‘Ah! think o’ that now!’ said Mr. Poyser impressed at once with the political bear- ‘ings of the fact, and with its striking in- terest as an anecdote in natural history.

‘Come Craig,’ said Adam, ‘That's a little too strong. You don’t believe that. It’s all nonsense about the French being such poor sticks. Mr. Irwipe’s seen ‘em in their own country, and he says they've many a fine fellow among’em. And as for knowledge, and contrivances, and manu- factures, there’s a many things as were a tine sight behind ‘em in. It’s poor foolish- to run down yourenemies. Why, Nelson and the rest of 'em ’ud have no |merit in beating ’em if they were such offal aa folks pretend.’

Mr. Poyser looked doubtfally at Mr. | Craig, puzzled by this opposition of author- | ities. Mr. Irwine’s testimony was not to be disputed; but, on the other} hand, Craig was a knowing fellow, and} his view was less startling. Martin had never ‘heard tell’ of the French being} ‘good for much, Mr. Craig had found no! ‘answer but such as was implied in taking a. long draught of ale, and then locking down | fixedly at the proportions of his own leg, | iwhich he turned a little outward for that, purpose, when Bartle Massey returned from | ithe fireplace, where he had been smoking | i his first pipe in quiet, and broke the silence ‘by saying, as he thrust his forefinger into ithe canister :

‘ Why, Adam, how happened you not to jbe at church on Sunday? answer me that, jyou rascal. The anthem went limping jwithout you. Are you going to disgrace | your schoolmaster in his old age ?

‘No, Mr. Massey,’ said Adam. ‘ Mr. and Mrs. Poyser can tell you where I was

I was in no bad company.’

‘She’s gone, Adam, gone to Snowfield,’ said Mr. Poyser, reminded of Dinah for the first time this evening. ~‘ 1 thought you'd ha’ persuaded her better. Nought ’ud hold her but she must go yesterday forenoon. The wmissis has hardly got over it. I thought she'd ha’ no sperrit for th’ harvest supper.’

Mrs. Poyser had thought of Dinah several times since Adam came in, but had had ‘ no heart’ to mention the bad news.

‘What! said Bartle, with an air of disgust. ‘ Was there a woman concerned ! Then I give you up, Adam.’

‘But it’s a woman you’n spoke well on, Bartle,’ ssid Mr. Poyser. ‘Come, now, } you canna draw back; you said once as women wouldna ha’ been a bad invention if they’d all been like Dinah.’

‘I meant her voice, man—I meant her voice, that was all,’ said Bartle. ‘I can bear to hear her speak without wanting to put wool in my ears. As for other things, I dare say she’s like the rest o’ the women —thinks two and two’ll come to make five, if she cries and bothers enough about it.’

‘Aye, aye!’ said Mrs. Poyser; ‘one ‘ud think, an’ hear some folks talk, as the men war ‘cute enough to count the corns in a tbag o’ wheat, wi’ only smelling at it. (They can see through a barn door, they | ean. Perhaps that’s the reason they can see so little o’ this side on’t.’

Martin Poyser shook with delighted laughter, and winked at Adam, as much to say the school-master was in for it now.’

‘Ah!’ said Bartle, sneeringly, ‘the women are quick enough—they’re quick enough. They know ihe rights of a story before they hear it, and can tell a man what his thoughts are before he knows ‘em himself.’

‘Like enough,’ said Mrs. Poyser; ‘for the men are mostly so slow, their thoughts over-run ’em,an’ they can only catch ’em by ithe tail. {£ ean count a __ stocking- top while a man’s getting tongue ready; an’ when he outs wi’ his speech at last, there’s little broth to be made on’t. It’s your dead chicks takes the longest hatchin’. However, I’m not denyin’ the women are foolish: God Aimighty made ‘em to match the men.’

‘Match |’ said Bartle ; ‘aye, as vinegar matche’s one’s teeth. If a man says a word, his wife ‘Il match it with a contra- diction ; if he’s a mind for hot meat, his wife ’ll match it with cold bacon; if he laughs, she'll match him with whimpering. She’s such a match as th’ horse-fly is to th’ horse,: she’s got the right venom to sting him with—the right venom to sting him with.’

‘Yes,’ said Mrs. Poyser, ‘| know what the men like—a poor soft, as ’ud simper at em Jike the pictur o the sun, whether they did right or wrong, an’ say thank you fora kick, an’ pretend she didna know which eud she stood uppermost, till her husband told her. That’s what a man wants in a wife, mostly; he wants to make sure o’ one fool as ‘ll tell him he’s wise. But there's some men can do wi’out that—they think so much o’ themselves a’ ready; an’ that’s how it is there’s old bachelors.’

‘Come, Craig,’ said Mr. Poyser, jocosely, ‘you mun get married pretty quick, else you'll béset down for an old bachelor ; an’ you see What the women ‘ll think on you.’

‘Well,’ said Mr. Craig, willing to con- cillate Mrs. Poyser, and setting a high

{ness

value on his own compliments, ‘I like a cleverish woman—a woman o' spirit—a} managing woman.’

‘You’re not there, Craig,’ said Bartle, ; dryly; ‘ you're out there. You judge o | your garden stuff on a better plan than} that; you pick the things for what they can |

is the way you should choose women; their cleverness ‘ll come to much—never come to much; but they make excellent simpietions, ripe and strong flavored.’ ‘What dost say to that?

said Mr.

Poyser, throwing himself back and looking merrily at his wife.’ ‘Say ! answered Mrs Poyser, with

davgerous fire kindling in her eye; ‘why, I say 28 some folks’ tongues are like the clocks as run on strikin’, not to tell you the time o' the day, but because there’s summat wrong i’ their own inside.’

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, _ >

Sir,—To show you what our horses are thought of (when properly bred) in the far West, I submit for your perusal a letter just received from Mr. Andrew Davidson, a heree breeder of Lancaster, Ohio, and will feel obliged if you will make the fol- lowing quotation from it :—

** Lancaster, Onro, May 24, 1885. ‘} Nr. C. C. GaRpINER.

‘* Dear Sir,—1 met the colt on Monday morning at Nickerson’s Wharf, Boston. He arrived in fine condition ; not a hair off or scratch on him. As soon asl got tho permit from the Customs officer I took him

| to a stable near the depot, where I let him

remain until Tuesday at 6.30, at which time | shipped by fast freight to Ohio. |! arrived at Lancaster on Saturday at 2 p.m., safe and sound. Yesterday quite a number of horsemen visited my stables, and all pronounced him the best draft colt they had ever seen. They one and all admired his fine head, great bone and substance, fine style and grand action. I am fully satisfied with him. He comes up to your representations in every particular. Give my respects to Mr. McLeod, and tell him to keep on raising this kind, ‘* Yours respectfully, ‘“*A. Davison.”

This colt, Mr. Editor, when four months old, 1 took last autuinn to the State Fair in Bangor Maine, with his dam and Barris- ter his sire, to show the people there what some of the heavy stock was like we bred down here. It was very much admired for its good points and great siz> as a cart colt.

In Februrary last the above Mr. David- son who had heard of it wrote me enquiring if it was for sale, and at what price deliver- ed on the Istof May. Mr. J. D. McLeod, its owner, informed me it could be pur- chased for $150. This I communicated to Mr. Dayidson, giving him an accurate des- cription of the animal. Ina few days he remitted the money with all charges and freight to Boston. The colt was shipped by Boston boat when eleven months and four days old, and then weighed 892 ibs. The quotation from Mr. Davidsons’ letter shows how he is pleased with his previously unseen purehase. [| will just remind some of your rerders that this is the colt which was pronounced by Mr. Tweedy in their presence to be unsound by spavin, The same gentleman about the time the colt was taken by Dr. Dodd and myself to Bangor, said he ‘‘ did not know what we were taking a thing like that for.’’ This shows that Mr, Tweedy differs from the horsemen of one of the oldest and fore- most horse breeding states in the West, Ohio. It also proves, ! think, that Mr. Tweedy is incapable of judging when a horse is sound; and further, that his education in reference to the equine race, notwithstanding the great advantages to be derived, no doubt, for perhaps 28 or 30 years residence in the famous town of Thirsk, Yorkshire, must bave been sadly neglectei. He accuses me in his last com- munication to you of pronouncing other peoples horses to be curby hocked. If I have ever done so it has not been for selfish or malicious purposes, but in the interest of breeders. If 1 have not found fault with horses kept for stock purposes with through-pins and cocxle joints, Mr. Tweedy will please excuse me.

Yours. &3., C. C, GARDINER.

Sir,—In a recent issue of your paper you notice the speech of Senator Howlan delivered before the Senate of Canada. Your critic seems to doubt the{practicability of the Senator's scheme to fulfil the Terms of Union by the building of an iron and cement subway to connect the Island with the mainland. Short lines of subways being an admitted success, the question narrows itself down to the feasibility of constructing subways long distances under water and liable to damages from ice ground- ing on or near the subway. As there is some talk of bridging the Hillsborough in the near future, would it aot be worth the consideration of the Local Govern- ment to have estimates made _ for the cost of a subway between Charlotte- town and Southport. There is one advan- tage that tunnels and subways have over bridges on navigable rivets and straits, viz : in the greater freedom to navigation, and if gnot disturbed by ics, subway are practibiy indestructable. I have the officia! report of the Hon. Senator’s speech at hand, and I notice his scheme has the partial endorsement of one of the leading engineers of Great Britain. The writer, with some others, shares the opinion that the problem of navigation over siretches of ice and open water is possible of solution; but the cost of a construction or machine tu accomplish such a result as efficient communication be- tween P. E. Island and the mainland during the winter months is too great for private effort to undertake. Possibly, if the Do- minion Government would assume the cost of experiments, an effort might be made to solve the problem of winter navigation. Of course there are those who doubt the possibility of success for any scheme for eflicient winter communication, but the facts of the triumphs of science of the pre- sent have exceeded even the dreams of a
