ADAM BEDE.

Pn aoe CHAPTER LIL (« ‘ontin wed.)

Kester was an old bachelor, and reputed to have stockings full of coin, concerning which his master cracked a joke with him every pay night; not a new unseasoned joke, but a good old one, that had been t ied many times before, aud had worn well. ‘Th’ young master’s a merry mop,’ | Kester frequently remarked; for having be- ‘gun his career by frightening away the crows under the last Martin Poyser but jone, he could never cease to account ithe reigning Martin a young master. ‘I am not ashamed of commemorating | old Kester; yeu and I are indebted to the) hard hands of such men—hands that have long ago mingled with the soil they tilled so faithfully, thriftily making the best they could of the earth’s fruits, and receiving the smallest share as their own wages.

Then, at the end of the table, opposite his master, there wax Alick, the shepherd and head man, with the ruddy face and broad shoulders, not on the best terms with old Kester, indeed their intercourse was confined to an occasional snarl, for though they probably differed little concerning hedging and ditching and the treatment of ewes, there was a profound difference of opinion between them as to their respective merits. When Tityrus and Melibceus hap- |pen to be on the same farm, they are not {eentimentaily polite to each other. Alick, indeed, was not by any means a honeyed man : his speech had usually something of a snarl in it, and his broad-shouldered aspect something of the bull-dog expres- sicn—‘Don’t you meddle with me, and I won't meddle with you; but he was honest even to the splitting of an oat grain rather than take beyond his acknowledged share, and as ‘close fisted’ with his master’s

ing very small handfuls of damaged barley to the chickens, because a large handful affected his imagination painfully with a sense of profusion. Good-tempered Tim, the wagoner, who loved his horses, had his grudge against Alick in the matter of corn : they rarely spoke to each other, and never locked at each other, even over their dish of cold potatoes; but then, as this was their usual mode of behavior toward all mankind, it would be an uneafe conclusion that they had more than iransient fits of unfriendlineses. The bucolic character of Hayslope, you perceive, was not of that

apparently observed in moet districts visited by artists. The mild radiance of a smile was a rare sight on a field-laborers face, and there was seldom any gradation between bovine gravity and a laugh. Nor was every laborer so honest as our friend Altick. At this very table, among Mr. Poyser’s men, there is that big Ben Tholoway, a very powerful thresher, but detected more than once in carrying away his master’s corn in his pockets; an action which, as Ben was not a phils »pher,

on bim, was an injury to his innocence.

But now the roast beef was finished and the cloth was drawn, leaving a fair large deal table for

the bright drinking-cans, and the foaming brown jugs, and the’ bright brass candle- sticks pleasant to behold. Now, the great ceremony of the evening was to begin-—the harvest song, in which every men must join : he might be in tune, if he liked to be singular, but he must not sit with closed lips. The movement was obliged to be in triple time; the rest was ad lititum.

As to the origin of this song—whether it came in its actual state from the brain of a single rhapsodist, or was graduaily per- fected by a school or succession of rhapso- dists, 1 am ignorant. There is a stamp of unity, of individual genius, put upon it, which inclines me to the former hypothesis, though I am not blind to the consideration that this unity may rather have arisen from that consensus of many miuds which was a condition of primitive thought, foreign to our modern consciousness. Some will per- haps think that they detect in the first quatrain an indication of a lost lite, which later rhapsocists, failing im imaginative vigor, have supplied by the feeble device of iteration; others, however, may rather maintain that this very iteration is an original felicity, to which none but the most prosaic minds can be insensible.

The ceremony conuected with the song was a drinking ceremony. (This is perhaps a painful fact, but then, you know, we can not reform our forefathers.) During the first and second quatrain, sung decidely forte, no can was filled.

Here’s a health unto our master, The founder of the feast ; Here’s a health unto our master And to our mistress ! And may his doings prosper Whate’er he takes in band For we are all his servants, And are at his command. But now, immediately before the third qustrain or chorus, sung fortissimo, with emphatic raps of the table, which gave the effect of cymbals and drum together, Alick’s can was filled, and he was bound to empty it before the chorus ceased. Then drink, boys, drink ! And see ye do not spill, For if ye do ye shall drink two, For ‘tis our master’s will. When Alick had gone successiully through this teat of steady-handed manliness, it was

entirely genial, merry, broad grinning sort, oo eras spoil; cursing was heard

| the turn of old Kester, at his right hand— jand so on, till every man had drunk his \initiatory pint under the stimulus of the ‘chorus. Tom Saft—the rozgue—took care ito spill a little by accident; but Mr, Poy- {ser (too ofticiously, Tom thought,) inter- fered to prevent the exaction of the penalty.

When Khartoum Fell.

THE FRIGHTFUL SCENES OF MASSACRE— WOMEN TAKEN AS SLAVES,

(From the the London Daily News. ) Two men arrived yesterday whose story throws some fresh light on the capture of Khartoum. They were soldiers in Gordon’s army, taken at the time and sold as slaves, but who ultimately escaped. Their names are Said Abdullah and Jacoob Mahomet. They say : ‘* Men were slain shrieking for mercy, when mercy was not in the hearts of our savage enemies. Women and chiidren were robbed of their jewels of gold and jewels of silver, of their bracelets, neck- laces of precious stones, and carried off to be sold to the Bishareen merchants as slaves.

‘Yes, and white women too—Egyptians and Circassians who wore the burko over their faces, the rabtah and the turbah, and the kurs on their heads-—ladies clad in silk and satin gibbehs and saltahs. Mother and daughter alike were dragged off from their homes of comfort. These were widows, wives and daughters of Egyptian officers, some Of whom had been killed with Hicks Pasha; wives and children of Egyptian merchants formerly rich, owning ships and mills, gardens and shops. These were scld

‘Their husbands and masters were slain before their eyes, and yet 1 hear it said there was no massacre at the taking of Khartoum! They lie who say so, and are in league with Mahomet Achmet. You must not believe all that men coming from Mahomet Achmet

There is for a moment a lull in the vigilance of the watch over the news from Russia but the chief national anxiety is still centered there. It would be nonsense to call this feeling jingo- ism, for it is nowhere stronger than among the liberals in the house and in liberal papers like the Telegraph, or even the News. Of course, there is a large body of Englishmen who are proud of the old motto, ‘A word and a blow, and a blow first,’ and who sigh for the time when, had a Bosphore Egyptian question arisen, the last orders from London would have been to pitch Taillandier into the Nile. Not only are these truculent spirits wrathful, but the great mass of informed men fear that the government has committed a fatal error in the face of a ruthlessenemy. The ominous hitch in the negotiations, the re- sumption of councils of war at St. Peters- burg, and the ugly tone of the Russian papers are enough in themselves to consti- tute a grave crisis, but this crisis is only one of many.
