ADAM BEDE.

CHAPTER XXXVIILI,

(Continued. )

Adam was too heart-sick to take notice of Gyp's fondling. He threw himself on the bench, and stared dully at the wood and the signs of work around him, wonder- ing if he could ever come to feel pleasure in them again ; while Gyp, dimly aware \that there was something wrong with his ‘master, laid his rough gray head on Adam’s knee, and wrinkled his brow to look up at him. Hitherto, since Sunday afternoon, Adam had been constantly among strange people and in strange places, having no ‘associations with the details of his daily life, and now that by the light of this new ;morning he was come back to his home,

INDIA & CHINA TEA 224 surrounded by the familiar objects that

seemed forever robbed of their charm, the reality—the hard, inevitable reality of his ‘troubles pressed upon him with a new weight. Right before him was an unfinish- ‘ed chest of drawers, which he had been making in spare moments for Hetty’s use, / when his home should be hers.

| Seth had not heard Adam’s entrance, | but he had been roused by Gyp’s bark, and |Adam heard him moving about in the ‘room above, dressing himself. Seth’s first \thought was about his brother; he would ‘come home to-day, surely, for the business would be wanting him sadly by to-morrow, but it was pleasant to think he ‘had had a longer holiday than he jhad expected. And would Dinah come too? Seth felt that that was the greatest happiness he could look forward |to for himself, though he had no hope left him that she would ever love him well ;enough to marry him; but he had often said ‘to himself, it was better to be Dinah’s friend and brother than any other woman's ‘husband. If he could be always near her, instead of living so far off ! | He came down stairs and opened the inner door leading from the house-place in- to the work-shop, intending to let out Gyp; | but he stood still in the doorway, smitten with a sudden shock at the sight of Adam seated listessly on the bench, pale, unwash- ‘ed, with sunken blank eyes, almost like a ‘a drunkard in the morning. But Seth felt ‘in an instant what the marks meant ; not drunkness, bot some great calamity. Adam \leoked up at him without speaking, and Seth moved forward toward the bench,him- | self trembling so that speech did not come | readily. | ‘God have mercy on us, Addy,’ he said, \in a low voice, sitting down on the bench beside Adam, ‘what is it ?’

Adam was unable to speak; the strong ;mman accustomed to suppress the signs of ‘sorrow, had felt his heart swell like a child’s

at the first appreach of sympathy. He fell on Seth’s neck and sobbed.

| Seth was prepared for the worst now, |for, even in his recollections of their boy- |hood, Adam had never sobbed before.

‘Is it death, Adam? Is she dead?’ he asked, in a low tone, when Adam raised his head and was recovering himself.

‘No, lad; but she’s gone—gone away ‘from us. She’s never been to Snowfield. | Dinah’s been gone to Leeds ever since last | Friday was a fortnight, the very day Hetty ‘set out. I can’t find out where she went after she got to Stoniton.’ | Seth was silent from utter astonishment ; /he knew nothing that could suggest a rea- | gon to him for Hetty’s going away. | ‘Hast any notion what she’s done it for !’ he said, at last.

‘She can’t ha’ loved me; she didn’t like our marriage when it came nigh—that must be it,’ said Adam. He had determined to ‘mention no further reason.

‘l hear mother stirring,’ said Seth. ‘Must we tell her ?

‘No, not yet,’ said Adam, rising from the bench and pushing back his hair from his | face as if he wanted to rouse himself. ‘I! can’t have her told yet; and I must set out on another journey directly, after I’ve been to the village and th’ Hall Farm. I can't tell thee where I’m going, and thee | must say to her I’m gone on business as | nobody is to know any thing about. I'll go ‘and wash myself Jnow.’ Adam moved | toward the door of the workshop, but after a step or two he turned round, and meet- |ing Seth’s eyes with a calm sad glance, he said, ‘I must take all the money out o’ the in box, lad; but if any thing happens to me; lall the rest ’ll be thine, to take care o’ jmother with.’ | Seth was pale an‘ trembling; he felt there was some terrible secret under this. |‘Brother,’ he said faintly—he never called ‘Adam ‘brother,’ except in solemn 'moments—‘I don’t believe you’ll do any- thing as you can’t ask God's blessing on.’ | ‘Nay, lad,’ said Adam, ‘don’t be afraid. ‘I’m for doing nought but what’s a man’s | duty.’

‘house. Mr. Poyser was walking brisk!

this March morning, with a sense of Spring business on his mind; he was going to cast the master’s eye on the shoeing of a new |cart-horse, carrying his spud as a uselees jcompanion by the way. His surprise was |great when he caught sight of Adam, but aoe not a man given to presentiments of evil.

‘Why. Adam, lad, is it you?

Han ye been all this time away and not brought the lasses back, after all? Where are they ?’

‘No, I’ve not brought ’em,’ said Adam, turning round to indicate that he wished to walk back with Mr. Poyrer.

‘Why,’ said Martin, looking with sharper

attention at Adam, ‘ ye look bad. Is there anything happened ‘Yes,’ said Adam, heavily. ‘A sad

thing’s happened. Snewfield.’

Mr. Poyser’s good-natured face showed signs of troubled astonishment. ‘ Not find her? What’s happened to her?’ he said, his thoughts flying at once to bodily ac- cident.

The Public Revenue.

The public revenue for the month of March has very nearly equalled that of the corresponding month in the preceding year, the comparison standing :—

1884. 1885. SET RAS $1,705.628 $1,533,896 IEE, « oc ca boaecke 400,311 402,405 - ft ee 105,102 139,238 Public works... ...... 158,142 151,207 Miscellaneous......... 90.662 153,594 Total..............$2,459,746 $2,380,335

The principal decrease in the revenue of the month has occurred in the receipts from customs, which are some one hundred and seventy thousand dollars less, by reason, in part, of the lower prices now prevailing, and which lessen the advalorem collections, and also, doubtless, because of a reduced importation of goods. The revenue for the nine months ending with March aggregates $25,249,079, as compared with $23,455,220 in the like period of the preceeding year, a decrease of only two hundred thoucand dollars. The expenditure in March was $1,249,353, and to date $22,525,053, leaving a surplus in the accounts of the current year at this time of nearly three quarters of a million dollars. Only a continuance of the Northwest rebellion can produce the deficit in the business of the fiscal year which the Grits predicted some time ago.

Three Months’ Failures.

The condition of business in Canada,"as indicated by the record of failures for the first quarter of the year, has undergone an improvement. The volume of trade has not, we know from the official returns, en- larged, nor is it probable that the profits of traders have increased, but liabilities have been reduced, greater prudence has been exercised in the granting of credits and taking on of obligations, and generally the business of the country has been placed onasafer basis. The record of failures for the three months stands :—

TE; cd Eve 457 $4,976,575 393 $2,827,782

In all the provinces the number of failures has decreased, and Manitoba only has the amount of liabilities of insolvents increased. The aggregate of liabilities is more than two million dollars less than in the same period Jast year, and the average liabilities have been only $7,185, as against $10,889. — Montreal Gazette.

Massacre of Catholic Priests and Converts.

12,000 BUILDINGS BURNED.

The Shanghai, China, Mercury of the 10th inst.,says the Viceroy of Yun, Nanand, Kive, Chong Provinces, has issued a decree commanding the destruction ef all Roman Catholic convents. The decree also orders that all] Roman Catholic converts and all foreigners be killed. Reports have reached Shanghai that several Roman Catholic settlements have already been destroyed and several hundred converts killed. The village of Kin Ya Ping, two days journey- ing from Tali, has been destroyed and four converts and two priests killed. The only reason assigned by the Chinese Viceroy for the massacre is that -the Roman Catholics were going to revolt against the Chinese Government. Hong Kong and Shanghai banking corporations has negotiated a loan

The thought that if he betrayed his | trouble to his mother she would only dis- ‘tress him ‘by words, half of blundering | affection, half of irresponsible triumph that | Hetty proved as unfit to be his wife as she ‘had always forseen, brought back some of ‘his habitual firmness and self command, He had felt ill on his journey home—he told her when she came down—had stayed all night at Treddleston for that reason;

He determined to go to the village, in the first place, attend to his business for an |hour, and give notice to Burge of his ieing obliged to go on a journey, which he must beg him not to mention to any one, for he wished to avoid going to the Hall Farm near | breakfast time, when the children and ser-

The Press and the Clergy.

Mr. Phillips Brooks is a very popular preacher in Boston and elsewhere, but in instituting a comparison between the press and the pulpit he shows that he is preju- diced in favor of his own profession. In his Palm Sunday sermon he is reported to have said that if a millionaire should die the papers would extol him as a benefactor, whether he had gained his wealth by fair means or foul. He is, however, strategi- cally silent as to what the ministers would say. We venture the perhaps rather rash lassertion that in the matter of truth-telling | about dead folk the press takes precedence ‘of the clergy. We have read a great many funeral orations delivered over the remains ‘of millionaires, and we have always re- ‘ceived from them the impression that, | whatever may happen to poor men here- after, the rich, especially the very rich always go to heaven.—New York Herald.
