CHAPTER VI. (Continue ad )
‘Nay, dear aunt, you never heard me say that all people are called to forsake their work and their families. It’s quite right the land should be plowed and sewed, and the precious corn stored, and the things for this life cared for, and right that people should rejoice in their families, and provide for them, so that this is done in the fear of the Lord, and that they are not unmind- ful of the soul’s wants while they are car- ing for the body. We can all be servants of God wherever our lot is cast, but he gives us different soris of work, according as he fits us for it and calls us to it. I can no more help spending my life in trying to do what I canjfor the souls of others, than you could help running if you heard little Totty crying at the other end of the house; the vcice would go to your heart, you would think the dear child was in trouble or in danger, and you couldn’t rest without run- ning to help her and comfort her.’
‘An!’ said Mrs. Poyser, rising and walk- ing toward the door. ‘I know it ‘rd be just the same if I was to talk to you for You'd make me the same answer at
I might as well talk to the run- ning brook, and tell it to stand still ’
The causeway outside the kitchen door
was dry enough now for Mrs. Poyser to stand there quite pleasantly and see what
was going on in the yard, the gray worsted
etocking making a steady progress in her
| hands all the while. But she had not been
standing there more than five minutes be-
fore she came in again, ard said to Dinah,
in rather a flurried, awe-stricken tone.
‘If there isn’t Captain Donnithorne and
Mr. Irwine a-coming into the yard! Til
lay my life they’re coming to speak about your preaching on the Green. Dinah, it’s
you must answer ’em, for l’m dumb. I’ve
said enough a’ready about your bringing
such digrace up’ your uncle’s family. 1
wouldn’t ha’ minded if you’d been Mr.
Poyser’s own nicee, folks must put up wi’
their own noses—it’s their own flesh and
blood. But to think of a niece o’ mine
being cause o’ my husband’s being turned
out ©’ his farm, and me brought him no
fortin but my savin’s—’ ‘Nay, dear Aunt Rachael,’ said Dinah,’ gently, ‘you have no cause for such fears.
I’ve strong assurance that no evil will hap-
pen to you and my uncle and the children
from anything I’ve done. I didn’t preach
without direction.’
‘Direction! I know very well what you mean by direction,’ said Mrs. Poyser, knit- ting in a rapid and agitated manner. When there’s a bigger maggot than usual in your head you call itit ‘direction,’ and then
nothing can stir you; you icok like the
statty o’ the outside o’ Treddles’on church,
a-starin’ and a-milin’ whether it’s fair weather or foul. I hanna common patience
with yon.’
By this time the two gentlemen had
reached the palings, and got down from their horses; it was plain they meant to
come in. Mrs. Poyser advanced to the
door to meet them, courtesying low, and
trembling between anger with Dinah and
anxiety to conduct herself with perfect pro-
priety on the occasion; for in those days’ the keenest of bucolic minds felt a whis-' pering awe at the sight of the gentry, such as of old men felt when they stood on the tip-toe to watch the gods passing by in tall, human shape. ‘Well, Mrs. Poyser, how are you after, this stormy morning? said Mr. Irwine, | with his stately cordiality. ‘ Our feet are quite dry; we shali not seil your beautiful floor.’
‘Oh, sir, don’t mention it,’ said Mrs. Poyser. ‘ Will you and the Captain please to walk into the parlor /’
‘No, indeed, thank you, Mrs. Poyser,’ said the Captain, looking eagerly around the kitchen, as if his eye were seeking something it could net find. ‘I delight in| your kitchen. I think it is the most charm-
ing room I know. I should like every far-
mer’s wife to come and look at it for a pat-| tern.’
‘Oh, you're pleased to say 80, sir; pray,) take a seat,’ said Mrs. Poyser, relieved a little by the compliment and the Captain's
anxiously at Mr. Irwine, who, she saw, was
her.
‘Poyser is not at home, is he? said Captain Donnithorne, seating himself where he could see along the short passage to the open dairy door.
‘No, sir, he isn’t; he’s gone to Rosseter to see Mr. West, the factor, about the wool. But there’s father i’ the barn, sir, if he’d be of any use.’
‘No, thank you; I'll just look at the whelps, and leave a message about them with your shepherd. I must come another day and see your husband. I want to have 3 consultation with him about horses. Do you know when he’s likely to be at liberty ?
‘Why, sir, you can hardly miss him, ex- cept it’s o’ Treddles’on market day —that's of a Friday, you know; for if he’s any- where on the farm we can send for him in a minute. If we'd got rid of the Scant- lands we should have no outlying fields ; and I should be glad of it, for if ever any- thing happens he’s sure to be gone to the Scantlands. Things allays happen so con- trary, if they’ve a chance; and it’s an un- nat’ral thing to have one bit o' your farm in one county and all tho rest in another ;
‘Ah! the Scantland’s would go much better with Choyce’s farm, especially as he wants dairy-land and you have got plenty.
estate, thengh; and do you know, Mrs.
myself.’
ee
L think yours is the prettiest farm on the
Poyser, if 1 were going to marry and settle I should be tempted to turn you out, and do up this fine old house, and turn farmer
e| ‘Oh, sir,’ said Mrs. Poyser, rather alarm- } ed, ‘yon wouldn't like it at all, As for) commence too early in laying | farming, it’s putting money info your cast-iron rules, or by submitting to the

pocket, wi’ your right hand and fetching it out wi’ your left. As fur as I can see, it’s raising victnals for other felks, end just getting a moutifal for yourself and your children as you go alone. Not as you'd be like a poor man as wants to get his bread ; you could afford to lose as much money as you liked I’ farming, but it’s poor fun, los- ing money, 1 should thi: k, though I under- stan’ it’s what the great folksi’ London play more than anything. For my _ husband heard at market Lord Decey’s eldest son had lost thousands upo’ thousands to the Prince of Wales, and they said my lady was going to pawnher jewels to pay for him. But you know more about that than I do, sir. Bot as for farming. si, | canna think as you’d like it ; and t is ho se—the draughts in it are enovgh to cu you through, and it’s my opivion the flo is up stairs are very rotten, and the rats 1’ the cellar are beyond any thing.’
‘Why, that’s a terrible yicture, Mrs. Poyser. I think I should be doing you a service to turn you out of such a_ place. But there’s no chance of that. I’m not likely to settle for the next twenty years, till 1’m a stout gentleman of forty ; and my grandfather would never consent to part with such good tenants as you.’
‘Well, sir, if he thinks so well of Mr. Poyser for a tenant, I wish you could put in a word for him to allow us some new gates for the Five Clores for my hus- band’s been asking and asking till he’s tired, and to think o’ what he’s done for the farm, and’s never had a penny allowed him, be the times bad or good. And, as I’ve said to my husband often and often, I’m sure if the Captain had anything to do with it, it wouldn’t be so. Notas I wish to speak disrespectful of them as have got the power i’ their band’s, but it’s more than flesh and blood ’ull bear sometimes, to be toiling and striving, and up early and down late, and hardly sleeping a wink when you lie down for thinking as the cheese may swell, or the cows may slip their calf, or the wheat may grow green again in the sheaf; and, afterall, at the end o' the year, it’s like as if you'd been c oking a feast and had got the smell of it for your p*ins.’
Mrs. Poyser, once Jaunched into con- versation, always sailed along without check from her preliminary awe of the gentry. The confidence she felt in her own powers of exposition was a motive force that overcame all resistance.
‘I’m afraid I should only do harm in- stead of good if 1 were to speak about the
ates, Mrs. Poyser,’ said the Captain, ‘though I assure you there's no man on the estate I would sooner say a word for than your husband, I know his farm is in better order than any other within ten miles of us; and as for the kitchen,’ be added, smiling, ‘ I don’t believe ‘here’s one in the kingdom to beat it. By-ihe-by, I have never seen your ders; 1 most see your dairy, Mr’. Poyscr’
‘ Indeed, sir, it is uot fi for you to go im, for Hetty’s in the midclo o’ muking the butter, for the churning was tlrown late, and I’m quite ashamed.’ This Mrs. Poy- ser said blushing, and believing that the Captain was really interested in her milk- pans, and would adjust his opivi-n of her to the appearance of her daivy.
‘Oh, I’ve no doubt it’s in capital order. Take me in,’ said the Captain, hims: If lead- ing the way, while Mrs. Poyser followed.

Union of the Mother Country and Her Colonies
SIR JOHN MACDONALD’S VIEWS,
At the conference of statesmen held at Westminster Palace, London, on the 18th ult., to consider the proposed union between the old country and her colonies, Sir John A. Macdonald moved the second r solution, appointing a number of gentlemen members
‘of the general committee, ‘‘ to conduct the
affairs of the league until the next general meeting of the league.” Sir John said :
‘When the intelligence arrived in Canada that a meeting had taken place on this sub- ject, composed of many men of influence and standing, it gave the greatest satisfac- tion to all the people of the Dominion. We of the Dominion consider ourselves no unimportant portion of the Empire. (Hear, hear.) We have felt that, although perhaps
evident good-humor, but still glancing | originally, when we were scattered provin-
ces we were in some degree a weakness and
looking at Dinah and advancing toward | in some degree a ‘‘ worry” to the Mother
country, now, confederated as we are in one Dominion, and with one centre of power, the unfortunate
state of things is past, and we may now fairly consider ourselves an addition to the ‘strength of the Empire (applause)—and that is the position we desire to hold. i agree with every word that was said by the Agent-General for Victoria as to the sen- timents of loyalty in the Colonies. I can vouch for the existence of that feeling in Canada. And it is not a mere sentiment— yet the sentiment is valuable, exceedingly valuable, but it is based upon a well-ground- ed feeling that the best interests of the Dominion, political, moral, and material, are forwarded by our connection with the greatest empire that the world ever Faw. (Heer, hear.) We have been treated in a manner so kind, so considerate, not only po our wishes, but even with regard to our grejudices, that we would indeed be un- trateful children if we were not SENSIBLE OCF THE BENEFITS
that we have received from the hands of the mother country, and did not express our warm appreciation of them. As this is a practical meeting, I feel I should be quite unwarranted in detaining you from the business that remains ; but 1 may say, Mr. Chairman, that I cordially agree with every word you have uttered in your able speech, and with every argument that you used. Every statement that you have made met with my most cordial and warn concurrence, and I may say admiration. I agree, too, with the general opinion tha’ has been expressed that we ought nor to down any
