| MAY 28 1885, ADAM BEDE

e am CHAPTER LIfl. THE HARVEST SUPPLY.

As Adam was going homeward, on Wed- nesday evening, in the six o'clock sunlight, he saw in the distance the last load of barley winding its way toward the yard gate of the Hall Farm, and heard the chant ‘Harvest Home!’ rising and sinking \like a wave, Fainter and fainter, and ;more musical through the growing distance, | the falling, dying sound still reached him, jas he neared the Willow Brook. “The low | westering sun shone right onthe shoulders )of the old Binton Hills, turning the un- ;conscious sheep into bright spots of light; | shone on the windows of the cottage, too, and made them a-flame with a glory beyond that of amber or amethyst. It was enoug! to make Adam feel that he was in a great temple, and that the distant chant was a sacred song.

‘It’s wonderful,” he thovght, ‘how that sound goes to one’s heart almost like a. |funeral bell, for all it tells one o’ the joy-| fulest time o’ the year, and the time when | men are mostly the thankfulest. I suppose , it’s a bit hard to us to think any thing’s over and gone in our lives; and thére’s a parting at the root of all our joys. It’s like | | what I feel about Dinah; I should never! | ha’ come to know that her love ‘ud be the} greatest of blessings to me, if what I count- | ed a blessing hadn’t been wrenched and/| torn away from me, and left me with a| greater need, so as I could crave and hunger | for a greater and a better comfort.’

He expected to see Dinah again this | evening, and get leave to accompany her as' far as Oakbourne; and then he would ask her to fix some time when he might go to) Snowfield, and learn whether the last best | hope that had been born to him must be resigned like the rest. The work he had to do at home, besides putting on his best clothes, made it seven before he was on his way again to the Hall Farm, and it was| questionable whether, with his longest and | quickest strides, he should be there in time even for the roast beef which came after the plum-pudding; for Mrs. Poyser’s supper would be punctual.

Great was the chatter of knives and pewter plates and tin cans when Adam entered the house place, but there was no him of voices to this accompani- ment; the eating of excellent roast beef, provided free of expense, was too serious a business to those good farm-laborers to he performed with a divided attention, even if they had any thing to say to each other— which they had not; and Mr, Poyser, at the head of the table, was too busy with his carving to listen to Bartle Massey’s or Mr. Craig’s ready taik,

‘Here,’ Adam,’ said Mrs. Poyser, who was standing and looking on to see that Molly and Nancy did their duty as waiters, here's a place for you between Mr. Massey and the boys. It’s a poor tale you couldn’t come to see the pudding when it was whole.’

Adam looked anxiously around for a fourth woman’s figure; but Dinah was not there. He was almost afraid of asking about her; besides, his attention was claimed by greetings, and there remained the hope that Dinah was in the house, though perhaps disinclined to festivities on the eve of her departure. :

It was a goodiy sight—-that table, with Martin Poyser’s round, good-humored face and large person at the bead of it, heiping his servants to the fragrant roast beef, and pleased whea the empty plates came again. Martin, though usually blest with a good appetite really forgot to finish his own beef to-night—it was so pleasant to him to look on m the intervals of carving, and see how the others enjoyed their supper; for were they not men who, on all the days of the year except Christmas and Sundays, ate their cold dinner, in a make shift manner, under the hedge-rows, and drank their beer out of wooden bottles— with relish certainly, but with their mouths toward the zenith, after a fashion more en- durable to ducks than to human _ bipeds? Martin Poyeer had some faint conception of the flavor such men must find in hot roast beef and fresh drawn ale. He held his head on one side, and screwed up his mouth, as he nudged Bartle Massey, and watched haif-witted Tom Tholer, otherwise known as Tom Saft, receiving his second plateful of beef. A grin of delight broke over Tom's face as the plate was set down) before him, between his knife and fork, which he held erect, as if they -had been sacred tapers; but the delight was too strong to continue smouldering in a grin—it burst out the next instant in along-drawn ‘haw, haw!’ followed by a sudden collapse into sudden gravity,as the knife and fork darted down on the prey. Martin Poyser’s frame shook with his silent, unctuous laugh; he turned toward Mrs. Poyser to see if she too, had been observant of Tom, and the eyes of husband and wife met in a glance of good natured amusement.

Tom Saft was a great favorite on the farm, where he played the part of the old jester, and made up for his _ practical deficiencies by his success in *re- partee. His hits, I imagine, were those of a flail, which falls quite at random, but nevertiueless smashes an imsect now and then. They were muck quoted at sheep- shearing and hay-making times; but I ce- frain from recording them here, lest Tom’s wit should prove to be like that of many other bygone jesters eminent in their day— rather of a temporary nature, not dealing with the deeper and more lasting nature of things.

natur’ of all farm work? One of those invaluable laborers who can not only turn their hand to everything, but excel in everything they turn their hand to. 't is true, Kester’s knees were mech bent ont- ward by this time, and he walked with a perpetual conrtesy, as if he were among the most reverent of men, And so he was; but lam obliged to admit that the object of his reverence was his own skill, toward which he performed some rather affecting acts of worship. He al- ways thatched the ricks; for if anything were his forte more than another, it was thatching; and when the last touch had been put to the last bee-hive rick, Kester, whose home lay at some distance from the farm, would take a walk to the rick-yard in his best clothes on a Sunday morning, and stand in the lane, at a due distance, to con- template his own thatching—walking about to get each rick from the proper point in view. As he courtetied along, with his /eyes upturned to the straw knobs imitative of golden globes at the summits of the bee- hive ricks, which, indeed, were gold of the best sort, you might imagine him te be engaged in some pagan act of adoratior.

Letter from Big Bear.

The niceties of diplomacy are not confined to the ranks of the whites. Big Bear cloaks his fear of the rifles of the police under the pretence of gratitude fer favors received when he urges them to evacuate the fort ; but of the countless kindnesses he has all his life received at the hauds of the Hudson’s Bay Company and the mur- dered priests and others, nor of his ewn oft-repeated acts of duplicity and falsehood, he has not a word to say. In reading the letter these things must be borne in mind :

Forr Prrt, April 14, 1585, Sergeant Martin, N. W. M. P.

My Dear Friend,—Since I have met you long ago we have always been good friends, and you have from time to time given me things, and thatis the reason that I want te speak kindly to you ; so please try and get off from Pitt as soon as you can,

And tell your Captain that I remember him well, for since the Canadian Government had ieft me to starve in this country he sometimes gave me food, and 1 don’t forget the blankets he gave me, and that is the reason I want you all to get off without bloodshed.

We had « talk,! and my men,before we left our camp, and we thought the way we are do- ing now the best--that is, to let you off if you would go.

“o try and get awey before the afternoon, as the young mer «re wild and hard to keep in

hand. BIG BEAR.

Then as a postscript he sent this :

Dak Frrenp,—-You asked me to keep the men in camp last night, and I did so; so I want you to go off to-day.

BIG BEAR.

The letter was written by one of the prisoners at the dictation of the chief.

Sergeant Martin is a native of P. E. Island.

A MASSACRE BY COLOMBIAN TROOPS WHICH WILL LIKELY CAUSE ENGLISH INTERFER- ENCE.

Details of the late massacre at Culebra, says a Panama despatch, show it was occasioned by the watchmen at the camp of the Jamaicans misunderstanding their orders. When the Colombian troops came up the watchmen disregarded the officer's claim to belong to the regular government and opened fire with revolvers. The soldiers answered with their Remingtons. The Jamaicans retired to quarters and there emptied their revolvers on Colombians, but this firing was so ineffec- tive that that no Colombian was killed, The Colombian soldiers, reinforced by some of Aizpurn’s men, armed with Win- chester rifles and by some Carthagenians, kept up a firing on the barracks until nearly daylight, when they broke open the door and massacred the inmates to a man. More than half were shot or cut to pieces in their beds by the machetes of the Cartha- genians. A searching investigation is being prosecuted by the English Consul and his government will undoubtedly demand a strict account of the butchery. The English government has already pend- ing several very serious questions with the Colombisn government and this atrocity will add to the account which Colombia will be called upon to settle.

Canada’s Proud Position.

Canada has taken the same position in the J.rsey world that she has in the Short- horn world. There seems to be somethingfin the climate, and there is undoubtedly something in our farmers, that pushes Canadian bred cattle to the front. The latest, and one of the most signal successes of Canadian breeders was that of Mr. V. E. Fuller, of Hamilton, who at the annual combination sale of Jersey’s at New York, took the ‘Breeders cup,’ which was given to the breeder and seller of the fine animals bringing the highest average price. The average price by Mr. Fuller's five head was $816.—Toronto Globe,
