| CHAPTER Il. THE PREACHING.

Anovr a quarter to seven there was an unusual appearance of excitement in the village of Hayslope, and through the whole

\length of its little street, from the Donni- |

‘thorne Arms to the church-yard gate, the \inhabitants had evidently been drawn out lof their houses by something more than the pleasure of lounging in the evening sunshine. The Donnithorne Arms stood at the entrance of the village, and a small farm-yard and stack-yard which flanked it, indicating that there was a pretty take of land attached to the iun, gave the traveler la promise of good feed for himself and jhis horse, which might well console him \for the ignorance in which the weather-

‘beaten sign left him as to the heraldic.

‘bearings of that ancient family, the Donni- ‘thornes. Mr. Casson, the landlord, had ‘been for some time standing at the doo with his hands in his pockets, balancing himself on his heels and toes, and Jooking toward a piece of uninclosed ground, with

ing men and women whom he had observed passing at intervals. :

Mr. Casson’s person was by no means of that common type which can ke allowed to pass without description. it appeared to consist principally of two spheres, bearing about the same relation to each other as the earth and moon; that is to say, the lower sphere might be said, at a rough guess, to be thirteen times larger than the upper, which naturally performed

a maple in the middle of it, which he knew’ to be the destination of certain grave-look- '

But I’ve heared as theres no holding these Methodisses when the 'Maggit’s once get i’ their head; many of ‘em goes start starin’ mad wi’ their religion. Though this young woman’s quiet enough to look at, by what I can make out; I’ve not seen her myself.’

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

—_ ~»)- -——

/ | §ir,—In reading over the Annual Re- port onthe Public Schools of Prince Ed- ward Island, 1883, the most prominent feature that attracis one’s attention, is the statement: that the total amounts paid by the Govenrment in support of educatien, sinee the year 1879, have been the follow- ing:—

Teachers’ Total Salaries Expenditure SN. ks aces a ca $79,617,64 $ 91,007,79 BO. eh ceil ois eee 85. 952,07 96,213,51 pees... dub). $6,314 17 06,459, 46 RE ee ie iia i, +7,178,56 97,411,77 ; Serger 90, 730,26 101, 93,41

This means that the total amount paid by the Government in support of education, has increased from $91,007,77 in 1879, to $101,193.41 in 1883. in the report, the Chiet Supcrintendcut ot Education has not informed us what are the particular ele- ments that have couvtributed to this in- crease. This is to be regretted. If we judge of the future by the past, there is every prospect of this amovnt being very considerably increased—perhaps to twice what it is at present.

How this evidently incrersing amount is

But here the resemblance ceased,' proportions, seems to be the question for Mr. Casson’s head was not at all @ jooming up in the near future for our Pro- melancholy looking satellite, nor was It 8) vinciai Legislature to grapple with. Our ‘spotty globe,’ as Milton has irreverently tax-payers are not at any time extremely called the moon; on the contrary, no head | willing to pay too liberally towards the sup- and face could look more sleek and healthy, ' port of the public schools. Jf we take the and its expression, which was chiefly cou- whele bulk of our Island population, there fined to a pair of round and ruddy cheeks,’ js no doubt but that there exist men of the slight knot and intermuptions forming guficient intelligence and public spirit to the nose and eyes being scarcely worth desire that our public schools should not mention, was one of jolly contentment,!onjy be maintained in their present eftici- only tempered by that sense of personal ones, but that they should be made the dignity which usually made itself felt in! pride and ornament of our tight little his attitude and bearing. This sense of) [gjand Province

dignity could hardly be considered exces-| The average Prince Edward Islander sive in a man who had been butler to ‘the! ss hatever good or bad gualities he may family’ for fifteen years, and who, in his/ possess, is not notorious for bis liberality in present high position, was necessarily very ' piving towards either church or schocl pur- much in contact with his inferiors.

to reconcile his dignity with the satisfac- tion of his curiosity by walking toward the Green, was the problem that Mr. Casson had been revolving in his mind for the last five minutes; but when he had partly solved it by taking his hands out of his pockets and thrusting them into the arm- holes of his waiscoat, by throwing his head |

among which selfishness plays the most prominent part. Our isolated position gives rise, perhaps imperceptibly to our- selves to selfishness and narrow mindedness. In fact the average P. E I-lander is some- what selfish and narrow minded and would be mightily indignant, no doubt, if we should be candid enough to tell him so.

on one side, and providing himself with an/ fe jooks upon himself as a person of no air of contemptuous indifference to whar- | jitije importance,and exal'ed on the lofty ever might fall under his notice, his | pedestal of his own self-conceit,Jooks down

thoughts were diverted by the approach of | the horseman whom we lately saw pausing to have another Jook at our friend Adam, | and who now pulled up at the door of the Donuithorne Arms.

‘Take off the bridle and give him a drink, ostler,’ said the traveler to the lad in a smock frock, who had come out of the yard at the sound of the horse’s hoofs. ‘Why, what's up in your pretty village, landiord ?’ he continued, getting down. ‘There seems to be quite a stir.’

‘It’s a Methodis’ preaching, sir; it’s been gev hout as a young woman’s a-going to preach on the Green,’ answered Mr. Casson, in a treble and voice, with a slightly minc- ing accent. ‘Will you please to step in, sir, an’ tek something !’

‘No; I must be getting on to Drosseter. I only want a drink for my horse. And what does your parson say, I wonder, to a young woman preaching just under his nose /’

‘Parson Irwine, sir, doesn’t live here; he lives at Brox’on, over the hill there. The parsonage here's a tumble-down place, sir, not fit for gentry to live in. He comes here to preach of a Sunday afternoon, sir, an’ puts up his hess here. sir, an’ he sets great store by't. He’sallays puts up his koss here, sir, iver since before I had the Donnithorne Arms. I’m not this countryman, you may tell by my tongue, sir. They're cur’ous talkers i’ this country, sir; the gentry’s hard work to hunderstand ‘em. I was brought hup among the gentry, sir, an’ got the turn o’ their tongue when I wasa bye. Why, whatdo you think the folks here says for ‘hevnt you ?’—the gentry, you know, says ‘hevn’t youn’—well, the people abcut here says ‘hanna yey.’ It’s what they call the dileck as is spoke hereabout, sir. That’s what I've heard Squire Donnithorne say many a time; it’s the dileck, says he.’

‘Ay, ay.’ said the stranger, smiling. ‘I know it very well. But you’ve not got many Methodists about here, surely—in this agricultural spot. I should have thought there would hardly be such a thing as a Methodist to be found about here. You’re all farmers, aren’t you? The Methodists can seldom lay much hold on them.’

with characteristic condescension on every other poor worm of earth, Envy is, no doubt, an «qnaily strong, charac eristic,and between these two, and whatever local pre judices or misconceptions may exist, Bee to lie the chief diffienlty in the way cf our Provincial Politivians. These seem to be the underlying difficulties which it is neces- sary for our Provincial Legislatare to meet and overcome as there is no doubt but that our Education Department must be main- tained so as *‘to meet the increasing re- quirements of our own pe: ple, and the con- tinned advancement of Education else- where.”

On the other hand it will be a task of no ordinary difliculty to make the average tax- payer--by whom | mean the bard working farmer—believe that he has a right much of his

to hand over 80 hard-earned money to support the higher education of the chiid of

some parent equally as well able as himeelf to provide for that education.

In this Province we have no very great extremes of rich or poor. The people of the Isiand sre for the most part very fairly off in worldly citcumstances. There can

Iv’s a gray cob,|hardiy be found a man so poor in means

that he is unable, when once the rudiments of a good education are given, to provide for the education of ai least one of his sons —if that eon’s proclivises lie in that direc tion—for one of the learned professions. On the other hard almost the whole bulk of the community is composed of parents who are quite atle, if it be necessary, to educate any of their sons for one of these profeesions from their own private means and still have ‘‘enongh and to spare.”

The tax-payers of the Island then, being so very nearly on an equality as regards their means, none very rich and none ex- tremely poor, it becomes a grave question for our Provincial Leyislature to decide what means they shall adopt to keep the whole cost of the education department within at least fairly reasonable limits. This would almost appear to be self- evident. For, suppose that the great bulk of our population was composed of ex- tremely poor, but honest, hard-working people, the case would be entirely different.

‘Why, sir, there’s a pretty lot o’ work-

It would then be the duty of our Loca! | Legislature, in all justice, to extend to the
