CHAPTER LVIL. (Continued. )
‘I can't help it, sir; thought is free, e3- pecially in this here compartment. Better sp ak one’s mind than die o’ the sulks. So shut your ear when my music jars. But one every other day is enough; it he won’t ‘come back fer that, why, he must go, and ‘I must look out for another; there’s as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it Still, ’ll not deny Lhave a great respect for poor Joe. Oh, Mr. Penfold, what shall Lde? Oh, oh, oh?
‘There, there,’ said Michael, ‘I'll put this into the Times every day.’
‘You are a good soul, Mr. Penfold. oh, oh !’
When he had finished the advertisement in a clerkly hand, and she finished her cry, she felt comparatively comfortable, and favored Mr. Penfold with some reflections.
‘Dear heart, Mr. Penfold, how you and I do take to one another, to be sure. But so we ought; for we are honest folk, the pair, and has had a hard time. Don’t it nevet strike you rather curious that three thousand pounds was at the bottom of both our troubles, yourn and mine? I might have married Joe, and been a happy woman with him; but the devil puts in my head there you go again hammering! Life ain’t worth having next coor to that lodging house. Diat the woman, if she must peck, why don’t she go into the church-yard and peck her own grave; which we shall never be quiet till she is there; and these here gimcrack houses, they won't stand no more peckiug at than a soap-sud. Ay, that’s what hurts me, Mr. Penfold; the Lord had given him and me health and strength and horesty; our betters had wed for love and wrought for money, as the saying is; but I must go again Nature, they cried ‘Come couple; and must bargain for three thousand pounds. So now I’ve lest the man, and not got the money, nor never shall; and, if I had, l’'d burn——Ah—ah— ah—ah—ah!’
This tirade ended in stifled screams of terror, caused by the sucden appearance of a human hand, in a place and in a manner well adapted to shake the stcutest laund- ress’ nerves.
This hand came through the brick-work of the chimney-place, and there remained a moment or two; then slowly retired, and, as it retired, something was heard to fall upon the shavings and tinsel of the fire-place.
Nancy, by a feminine impulse, put her hands before her face, to hide this super- natural hand; and, when she found cour- age to withdraw them, and glare at the place, there was no aperture whatever in the brick-work ; and, ec nsequently the hand appeared to have traversed the solid mater- ial, both coming and going
‘Oh, Mr. Penfold,’ cried Nancy; ‘I’m a sinful woman. This comes of talking of the devil arter sunset;’ and she sat trembling so that the very floor shook.
Mr. Penfold’s nerves were not strong. He and Nancy both huddled together for mutual protection,and their faces had nota vestige of color left in them.
However, after a period of general par- alysis, Penfold whispered:
‘Il heard it drop something on the shav- ings.’
‘Then we shall be all in a blaze o’ brim- stone,’ shrieked Nancy, wringing her hands.
And they waited to see.
Then, as no conflagration took place, Mr. Penfold got up, and said he must go and see what it was the hand had dropped.
Nancy, in whom curivsity was beginning to battle with terror, let him go to the fire- place without a word of objection, and then cried out:
‘Don’t go a-nigh it, sir; it will do you a mischief; don’t touch it whatever. Take the tongs.’
He took the tongs, and presently flung into the middle of the room a small oil- skin packet. This, as it lay on the ground, they both eyed like two deer glowering at a piece of red cloth, and ready to leap vack over the moon if it should show signs of biting. But oil-skin is not preternatural, not has tradition connect:d it, however remotely, with the Eremy of man.
Consequently, a great revulsion took place in Nancy, and she passed from fear to indignation at having been frightened 80
Oh,
She ran to the fire-place, and, putting her head up the chimney, screamed, ‘‘Heave your dirt where you heave your love, ye Brazen !’
While she was objurgating her neighbor whom, with feminine justice, she held responsible for every act done in her house, Penfold undid the packet and Nancy re- turned to her seat, with her mind more at ease, to examine the contents.
‘Bank notes!’ cried Penfold.
‘Ay, said Nancy, incredulously, ‘they do look like bank-notes, and feel like ’em; but they ain't wrote likethem. Bank notes ain’t wrote black like that on the lett-hand corner.’
Penfold explained.
Ten-pound notes are not, nor fives; but large notes are. And these are all fifties.’
‘Fifty what's?’
‘Fifty pounds.’
‘What, each of them bits of paper worth fifty pounds?’
‘Yes. Let us count them; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, —Oh, Lord!—20. Why, it istwo thousand pounds—just two thousand pounds. It is the very sum that ruined me; it did not belong to me, and its being in the house
ruined my poor Robert. All this does not ‘belong to me. Lock all the doors, bar all the windows, and burn them before the police comes.
| ‘Wait a bit,’ said Nancy, ‘wait a bit.’
They sat on each side of the notes; Pen- fold agitated and terrified, Nancy confound- ‘ed and perplexed.

IN BERMUDA.
‘Another Interesting Letter from Rev, W. B. Frame.
Se
Since last writing you, 1 have had an
‘opportunity of looking through a heap of
eld material bearing on the early history of the Bermudas.
Some of these ancient documents con- tain very strange reading. In looking over them one is occasionally excited to mirth,
tice and wrongdoing on the part of the strong against the weak. We have already
regard to the wealth islands,
It is, however, clear that the company! which sent them out were also ina high degree partakers of the same delusive) hopes. In the lengthy instructions pre- pared forthe guidance of their first Gov- ernor, they urge on him with great) minuteness to exercise the strictest care in| gathering up and securing the ambergris, | ‘‘which,” they go on to say, ‘‘is driven up! by every storme which the winde bloweth.” ;
This suvstance, which is sometimes found floating in tropical seas is derived from a certain species of whale. It was used in the making of perfitmery, and when the Bei mudas were first settled was worth £3 sterling per ounce in London. The Com- pany’s expectations in reierexce to the pearl fisheries of the islands were equal!y delusive. In granting a charter to the Bermuda Company ‘‘for the glory of God, the good of our loving subjects, and the cultivation of the islands.” King Jame~, though giving them immense powers—powers whith no _ corporation should ever have possessed, and which could not fail to be abused—yet his Majesty strictly decreed that they were to deal justly and fairly with the tillers of the soil, they were to be guided in all cases by British Law and usage, and were to do no act contrary to either; and the humblest subject of the King, who went thither to labor, was to be regarded as possessing all the free privileges which his British birth- right gave him.
The Company was organized on co-oper- ative principles. By their constitution the islands, after certain reservations of land bad been made—were to be divided inio 400 shares, of twenty-five acres each. These shares were to be held by tenants, who were to improve and cultivate the land, and the profits accruing from the soil were to bs divided in fair proportion between them and the Company.
All these arrangements were excellent— on paper.
It may be here mentioned that this Bermuda Company was quite a religious body in a certain way. its views of the Sabbath were in striking contrast to those of a modern railway syndicate, which lately dismissed from its service a number of P. E. Islanders for 1efusing to work on the Lord’s day.
Severe penalties were enforced against Sabbath- breakers, while those who absented themselves from church without sufficient cause were compelled to pay a fine of ten pounds of tobacco—which tines were to be devoted to church building. Even those who neglected to partake of the Sacrament at least once a year were punished by the strong arm of the law. Whether the “‘true religion” was promoted by euch methods is extremely doubtful.
The company also feeling adeep conesrn for the spiritual interest of the people in the new plantation, at an early date sent out two clergymen to labor among them. Be- sides a house and small glebe each was to receive as a stipend eeven hundred pounds of tobacco. Whether any of the clergy had commenced then to ‘‘use the weed” does not appear. It must however be admitted that those in Bermuda would be under a strong temptation to do so.
Thongh there must have been Courts of some sort in the colony at an early date, yet the oldest discovered record of a ‘‘General Assize for the Bermudas,” was one held in St. George’s, June 15th, 1616.
This court which met three times in the year soon had abundance of cases—bota civil ard criminal. The following is a specimen of some of the latter:—
At the July sitting on 1618, among the persons indicted by the Grand Jury was a certain ‘‘Richard Towell for stealing one potato and for carrying it away feloneously contrarye to the peace of of our Soveraigne Lord the King.” After much legal eloquence had been expended on the prisoner and the ‘‘one potato,” the jury returned a verdict of ‘Not Guilty.” ‘So he was quitt by p. clamacon. ”
We have already referred to the priva- tions endured at the very outset, by the first immigrants who came with Governor Moore.
Their scanty supply of food soon gave out; had it not been for the timely arrival of a ship from England, with more settlers and a large supply of provisions, they must have starved.
As soon as possible they took up the lots which the company assigned them, and began to clear the land. ‘The Company in the meantime, had provided all necessary seeds, and ere long the Islands were able to export wheat, Indian corn, beans, peas, potatoes, tobacco—the two latter in con- siderable quantities. In 1616, one of the company’s ships took home, among other products of the soil, 30,000 pounds of tobacco.
Fruit trees and plants had also been im- ported from the West Indies, and were cultivated with great success.
Of these may be mentioned the sugar ‘cane, pine apple, fig, banana, limes, lemons, melons, oranges, etc.
With all these abundant returns frcm the plantations, it will naturally be sup- posed thatthe company and tenants alike
but more frequently to indignation, for in! a large measure they are a record of injus- |
noticed the deep delusions under which the | first settlers of the Bermudas labored with | and resources of the,

the tenants were concerned; they had un- wittingly put their heads into a noose, and their masters now feeling that they had them, securily tightened up the noose at their pleasure, and I may add to their own profit. Just as scon as they had any pro- ducts io export, an order was issved pro- hibiting the tenants from traflicing with any vessel which might visit the Islands or with any other person or perscns whatever, except the company itself. | The company’s ‘‘Magezine Ship” made two trips from England to the Bermudas each year, and the tenants had to buy their |necessary supplies brought out by her at such prices the company chese to ask; and
\they were also comyelled to sell their tobacco and other surplus crops for what- ever the company deigned to give—either this alternative or let their crops perish. Thus these poor tenant planiers found ut when too late that instead of being His Majesty’s free subjects, and possessing all the privileges which their British birth- right conferred upon them—they were but
| the merest slaves of a grasping corporation,
which while professing great respect for the externals of religion, openly and habitually trampled upon one of its es ential principles, in its unjust and oppressive dealings. Some-
| times the officials of a company ‘‘dreseed in ‘a little brief eutherity,” may deal unjustly
with thc se under them, while their superiors may neither approve nor justify their acts; but in the case under considerat on every act was essentially that of the whole com- jany. Some members of it always resided in the Bermudas, and its transaction were regularly forwarded to the majority in Lendoa end apy roved by them.
The tenants could get no redress of their grievances in the Colony, nor were they allowed to leave it. To even openly complain of their grievances was construed into the crime of rebe'lion ayainst the constituted authorities, and was one which was worthy of death.
At the very first General Assize held in the Bermudas, I find that one John Wood was declared guilty of having spoken ‘‘many dis- tasteful and mutinous speeches against the Gevernor,”’ for which he was seatenced to be banged, and was actually executed.”
The tenants were also denied the right of sending home to the King any petition pray- ing for redress—unless it passed throngh the Company's hands, and was approved by them. This simply meant that no such petition was ever to reach the King.
Thus mapy years parsed on, during which the bondage of these unfortunate tenants was little better than that of the Israelites in Egypt,—the details of which are even now sickening to read,
During the Commonwealth, the Company probably having the fcarof the Protector he fore their eyes, seem slightly to have relaxed their iron grasp on the p/anters; but im- mediately after the Resto ation they went from bad to worse. Though the Company was prohibited by its own constitution from taxing the people without the consent of the House of Assembly, yet it had long done so in the most heedless and oppressive way; but now the Ccmpany’s Governor refused to call together the House of Assem!ly. Tenants were dispossessed of their ‘and without even the form of a threat.
But such iniquitous jr c elings could not go on for ever.
Notwithstanding the Company’s precautions a petition to the king ‘from His Majesty's dis- tressed subjects in the Somei’s Islands” did in some unknown way reach Whitehall, in January, 1679, and the King brovght the matter under the immediate notice of his Council.
The Company replied to the charges ex- pleining some of them away, denying others, apd promising to redress all real grievances. Shortly after, however, a second petition from the planters reached the King setting forth the terrible wrongs they were still suffer- ingat the Company's hands. ‘This petition was laid before the Privy Counci], when after lengthened investigation and full ex quiry into the whole matter, the Company's ac‘ ions were strongly condemned; and it was allowed only by sufferance.
The Company had even yet a chance of sav- ing itself—by repentance and reformation; but it was too hardened in iniquity to do either the one or the other. Its short future course aptly illustrated the old adage :— “Whom the gods intend to destroy, they first nake mad.”
In November, 1684, a petition from the mem- bers of the House of Assembly of the Ber- mudas— which had not met for many years— was received by the King, setting forth against the Company, not only ali their old unjust acts formally complained of, but also contain- ing along listof new grievarces; if possible more difficult to be borne. The end had now come. Charles acted in the matter promptly and decisively. Whether he had been dis- turbed in some of his carousals «nd was ac- tuated by the same motives which prompted the unjust Judge in the parable to avenge the importunate widow of her adversaries, we cannot tell; but he revoked the Company's Charter, and with a stroke of his pen blotted the infamous corporation out of existence,—a fate most justly merited by its deeds.
A sketch of the subsequent bistory of the Bermudas will be the subject of another
letter. W. R,. F. East Warwick, Feb. 9, 1884.

A New Industry.
Among the latest of our new industries we notice the formation of a cempany called the Canada Roofing Company, for the purpore of manufacturing caleamined metallic machinings, and the coating of sheet metals, etc. The ccating has been thoroughly tested and acknowledged to be far superior to galvanizing, etc., on account of its great resisting power to the corrosive action of coal gases, etc., so destructive to galvanized iron, tin, etc. It is also claimed to be a cheaper and better coating than galvanizing, and according to the Iron Age is likely to completely revolutionize the galvanizing trade. The Canadian Pacific Railway here have used it for the roofing of their new station at the Quebec barracks. The Intercolonial Railway Company have also utilized it in the construction of their new station at St. John, N. B.—Montreal Gazette.
