CHAPTER VI.
THE HALL FARM,
EvipentLy that gate is never opened; for | the long grass vad the great hemlocks grow elore agaist it; and, if it were opened, it is so rusty that the force necessary to turn it on its hinges would be likely to pull down the square stone pillars, to the detriment of the two stone lionesses which grin, with a
doubtful carnivorous affability, above a coat of arms surmounting each of the pillars. It would be easy enough, by the aid of the nicks in the stone pillars, to climb over the brick wall, with its smooth stone coping; but by putting our eyes close to the rusty bars of the gate we can see the old house | well enough, and all but the very corners of | the grassy inclosure.
It is a very fine old place, of red_ brick, softened by a pale, powdery lichen, which has dispersed itself with happy irregularity, so as to bring the red brick into terms of friendly companionship with the limestone ornaments surrounding the three gables,the windows, and the doorplace. ut the windows are patched with with wooden panes, and the door, I think, is like the gate—it is never opened; how it would groan and grate against the stone floor if it were! For itis a solid, heavy, handsome door, and must once have been in the habit of ehutting with a sonorous bang behind a liveried lackey, who had just seen his ‘master and mistress off the grounds ina carriage and pair.
But at present one might fancy the house ‘in the early stage of achancery suit, and ‘that the fruit from that grand double row | of walnut trees on the right hand of the in-
closure would fall and rot among the grass, ‘if it were not that we heard the booming | bark of dogs echoing from great buildings ‘at the back. And now the half weaned : calves that have been sheltering themselves ‘in’ a gorse-built hovel against the left-hand ' wall come out and set up a silly answer to
*! that terrible bark, doubtless supposing that
‘it has reference to buckets of milk.
Yes, the house must be inhabited, and we will see by whom, for imagination is a ‘jicensed trespasser; it has no fear of dogs, but may climb over walls and peep in at |windows with impunity. Put your face to ‘one of the glass panes in the right-hand 'windows; what do you see? A large open fireplace, with rusty dogs in it, and a | bare-hoarded floor; at the far end fleeces of | wool stacked up; inthe middle of the floor ‘some empty corn-bags. Thatis the furni- ‘ture of the dining-room. And what \through the left-hand window! Several clothes-horses, a pillion, a spinning-wheel, and an old box, wide open, and stuffed fuli of colored raga. At the edge of this box

as mutilation is coneerned, bears a strong resemblance to the finest Greek sculpture, and especially in the total loss of its nose. Near it there is a little chair, and the butt ‘end of a boy’s leather long-lashed whip.
The history of the house is plain now. It was once the residence of a country Squire, whose family, probably dwindling down to mere spinsterhood, got merged into the more territorial name of Donni- thorne. it was once the Hall; it is now the Hall Farm. Like the life in some coast-town that was once a watering-place, and ia pow a port, where the genteel streets are silent and grass-grown, and the docks and warehouses busy and resonant, the life at the Hall has changed its focus, and no longer radiates from the parlor, but from the kitchen and the farm-yard. | Plenty of life there! though this is the drowsiest tine of the year, just before hay- harvest; and it is the drowsiest time of the 'day, too, for it is close upon three by the sun, and it is half-past three by Mrs. Poyser’s handsome eight-day clock. But there is always a stronger sense of life when the sun is brilliant after rain; and now he is pouring down his beams, and making sparkles among the wet straw, and lighting up every patch of vivid green moss on the red tiles of the cow-shed, and turn- ing even the muddy water that is hurrying along the chenne]l to the drain into a mirror for the yellow-billed ducks, who are ‘seizing the opportunity of getting a drink with as much body in it as possible. There is quite a concert of noises ; the great bull- dog, chained against the stables, is thrown into furious exasperation by the unwary approach of acock too near the mouth of his kennel, and sends forth a thundering bark, which is answered by two fox-hounds shut up in the opposite cow-housej; the old top-knotted hens scratching with their chicks among the straw, set up a sym- pathetic croaking as the discomfited cock joins them; a sow with her brood, all very muddy as to the legs, and curled as to the tail, throws in some deep staccato notes ; our friends the calves are bleating from the home croft; and, under all, a fine ear discerns the continuous hum of human yoices.
For the great barn-doors are thrown wide open, and men are busy mending the harness, under the super- intendence of Mr. Goby, the ‘whittaw,’ otherwise seddler, who entertains them with the latest Treddleston gossip. lt is certainly rather an unfortunate day

Indeed, she had not yet recovered equani- mity on the subject, though it is now nearly three hours since dinner, and the house-floor is perfectly clean again—as clean as everything else in that wonderful house- place, where the only chance of collecting o few grains of dust would be to climb on an the salt coffer, and put your finger on the high mantel-shelf on which the glitter- ing brass candle-sticks are enjoying their summer sinecure; for at this tame Of year,

bruised your shins against them, Surely nowhere else could an oak clock-case and an oak table have got such a polish by the hand; genuine ‘elbow polish,’ as Mrs. Poyser called it, for she thanked God she never had any of your varnished rubbish in her house. Hetty Sorrel had often taken the opportunity, when her aunt’s back was turned, of looking at the pleasing reflection of herself in those polished surfaces, for the oak table was usualiy tarned up hike screon, and was more for ornament than for use; and she could see herself sometimes in the great ronnd pewter dishes that were ranged on the shelves above the long deal dinner-tavle, or in the hobs of the grate

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
—_—>—
Mr. Davies and the License Act.
Sirn,—Last Friday’s Patriot devoted another column and a half io the License Act, and to Mr. L. H. Davies. With reference to the latter, we are told that it cannot be expected that he can supply brains to the Dominion Government. True enough ; no one would expect Mr Devies capable of doing any such thing. But «till the Patriot, or rather Mr. Davies—for they do say that Mr. Davies contributes the articles to that paper in praise of himse!f— says that Mr. Davies isan able man, and that when his friends returned him to Par- liament they expected much of him. It so happens that there are those who expected very little of him, except bounce and bluster and subserviency to party, and they, it appears, were correct in their esti- mate of him. About his professional standing as a lawyer | have nothing to say, but as regards his record as a politician and law-maker | claim the liberty to speak freely. And first let us take a glance at him as a local legislator. From 1876 to 1878 he was Premier of our Province. Everyone knows what a deplorable failure he proved to be in that capacity. As a party leader, too, he seon showed his utter incompetency ; for in less than two years he wrecked the Grit party here so badiy, that it has never been able to get its head above water since. During his brief ad- ministration, the people became alarmed at the political recklessness of himself and his bosom friend, the now, as then, notorious W. D. 8S. Indignation meetings followed, and finally he was forced to abandon a posi- tion into which an unfortunate turn of the political wheel bad accidentally placed him. Next we find him directing his attention to Ottawa, and after a time he encceeds in obtaining a seat in the Dominion Parlia- ment, where, no doubt, some of his friends thought his ‘natural oratory,” as the Eidon admirer puts it, might make up in some degree at least, for his lack of administra- tive ability. We now find himina now role—the bumptious follower of Mr. Blake, the great talking machine of the Dominion. In this capacity, the Grit mem- ber for Queen’s has a chance occasionally to show off a little. True, Mr. Blake does the most of the talking for his party, speaking at times for four and five hours at a atretch, but our talkative Islander takes advantage of the situation whenever he getsa chance. No one can fault him for not talking enough, but the trouble is he doesn’t always ‘‘orate” at the proper time. In proof of this, we have only to refer to the discussion that teok plave while the Liquor License Act was under censider- ation of the House. He took pains to inform the committee that ‘a large number of steamers were engaged in Prince Edward Island in carrying farmers to and from. the city on market days, and that to license those steamers to sell liquor would have a very bad effect on the passenyers.”’ But while he spoke thus about not licensing the ‘large number of steamers,” he was per- fectly oblivicus in reference to other sec- tions of the Act, notably the section which he now professes to believe is at variance with the Scott Act regarding the penalty for second and subsequent offences.
Some of Mr. Devies’ supporters are thorough-going temperance men, and on their account, if for nothing else, he should have given the closest attention in Parlia ment to all temperance legislatian, having for its object the euppression’ of the illicit liquor trafic. Instead of this he neglects his duty to his constituents accordmg to the showing of the Poetrict, and is now engaged im trying to find flaws in an Act which he had the full privilege of criticising when it was passed through Parliament. If a blunder has occurred, the grandilo- quent Mr. Davies cannot shirk clear of the responsibility. His present attitude on the temperance question, is not likely to raise him in the estimation of those who are desirous of seeing the laws of our country properly enforced.
