BEDE.

cisiibciaapiettaee CHAPTER XXIV. (Continued. ) ‘I thank you all, my good friends and

ADAM

neighbors,’ Arthur said, for the good opinion of me, and the kind feel. ‘ings toward me which Mr. Poyser has

been expressing on your behalf and on bis ‘own, and it wili always be my heartiest wish to deserve them. in course of things we |may expect that if I live, I shall one day or |other be your landlord; indeed, it is on the }ground of that expectation that my grand- father has wished me to celebrate this day jand to come among you now; and I look | forward to this position, not merely as one | Of power and plessure for myself, but as a jmeans of benefitting my neighbors. It |hardly becomes so young a man as I am to \talk much about farming to you, who are most of you so much older, and are men of ,experience; still I have interested wyself a good de.lin such matters, and learned as ;much about them as my opportunities have ‘allowed; and when the course of events |shall place the estate in my hands, it will | be my first desire to afford my tenants all | the encouragement a landlord can give them in improving their land and trying to bring ‘about a better practice of husbandry. It | will be my wish to be looked upon by all \iny deserving tenants as their best friend, and nothing would make me so happy as to he able to respect every man on the estate, | }and to be respected by him infreturn. It is jnot my place at present to enter into 1 only meet your good| hopes concerning me by telling you that my! own hopes correspond to them—that what | you expect from me | desire to fulil; and Tam quite of Mr. Poyser’s opinion, that, when a man has said what he means he had better stop. But the pleasure I feel in| having my Own health drank by you would | not be perfect if we did not drink the health of my grandfather, who has filled | the place of both parents to me. I will say no more until you have joined me in

| particulars,

wished me to appear among you as the, future representative of his name and family.’

Perhaps there was no ove present, except Mr. Irwine, who thoroughly understood apd approved Arthur’s graceful mode of proposing his yrandfather’s health. The farmers thought the fyoung Squire knew well enough that they hated the old Squire, avd Mrs. Poyser said ‘he'd better not ha stirred a kettle o’ sour broth.’ The bucolic mind does not readily apprehend the re- finements of good taste. But the toest could not be rejected, and when it had beea drank, Arthur said—

‘l thank you both for my grandfather and for myseif; and now there is one more thing I wish to tell you, that you may share my pleasure about it, as I hope and believe you will. I think there can be no man here who has not a respect, and some of you, i am sure, have a very high regard, for my friend Adam Bede. It is well known to every one in_ this neighborhood that there is no man wh: se word can be more depended on than his; that whatever he undertakes to do, he does well, and he is as careful for the in- terests for those who employ him as for his own. I’m prond to say that | was very fond of Adam when I was a little boy, and I have never lost my old feeling for him— I think that shows that I know a good fellow when I findhim. It has long been my wish that he should have the manage- ment of the woods on the estate, which happen to be very valuable; not only becanse I think so highly of his character, but because he has the knowledge and the skill which fit him for the plece. And I am happy to tell you that it is my grand- father’s wish too, and it is now settled that Adam shall manage the woods—a change which Il am svre will be very much to the advantage of the estate; and I hupe you will by-and-by join me in drinking his health, end in wishing him all the pros perity in life that he deserves. But there 1s a still older friend of mine than Adam Rede present, and I need not tell you that it is Mr. Irwine. I'm sure you will agree with me that we must drink no other! person’s health un‘il wo have drunk his. I know you have all reason toleve him,but no one of his parishioners has so much reason asl. Come, charge your glasses, and let us drink to our excellent Rector—three times three !

The toast was drunk with all the en- thsiasm that was wanting to the last, and it certainly was the most _pic-

turesque moment inthe scene, when Mr. I:wine got up to speak, and all the faces in the room were turned toward him. The’! superior refinement of his face was much more striking than that ot Arthur’s, when seen in comparison with the people round them, Arthur’s was a much commoner British face, and the splendor of his new- jashioned clothes was more akin to the young farmer’s taste in costume than Mr. lrwine’s powder, and the well brushed but well worn black, which seemed vo be his chosen suit for great occasions, for he had the mysterious secret of never wearing a new-looking coat.

Alexauder Commuander,

Chitown, Feb. 3, 1885,

‘This isnot the firet time, by a great jmany,’ he said, ‘that I have had to thank ‘my parishioners for giving me tokens of ‘tieir good-will, but neighborly kindness is ‘among those things that are the most jprecious the older they get. Jndeed, our pleasant meeting to-day is a proof that | vhen what is good comes of age and is likely to live there is reason for rejoicing, and the relation between us as clergyman and parishioners came of age two years ago, tor it is three-and twenty years since | first came among you, and I see some tall, fine-looking young men here, as well as some blooming young women, that were ‘far from looking as pleasantly at me when

don was installed as postmaster

thorne, for whom you have just expressed your regard. I had the pleasure of being his turor for several years, and have natur- ally had opportunities of knowing bim in- timately which can not have occurred to any one else who is present; and I have some pride as well us pleasure in assuring you that I share your high hopes concern- ing him, and your confidence in his posses- sion of those qualities which will make him an excellent landlord when the time shall come for him to take that important pesition among you. We feel alike on most matters on which a man who is getting to- ward fifty can feel in common with a young man of one and-twenty, and he has just been expressing « feeling which I share very heartily, and I would not willingly omit the opportunity of saying so. That feeling is his value and respect for Adam Bede. People in a high station are of course more thought of and talked ahout, and have their virtues more praised, than those whose lives are pessed in humble, every-day work; but every sensible man knows how necessary that humble, every-

day work is, and how important o us that it should be done well, And I agree with my _ friend Mr.

Arthur Donn'thorne in feeling that when a man whose duty lies in that sort of work shows a character which would make him an example in any station, his merit should be acknowledged. He is one of those to whom honor is due, and his friends should delight to honor him. I know Adam Bede weill—I know what he is as a workman, and what he has been as a ben anda brother; and I am saying the simplest truth when I say that I respect him as much as 1 respect any man living. But I am not speaking to you about a stranger; some of you are his intimate friends, and I believe there is not one here who does not know enough of him to join heartily in drinking his health.’

As Mr. Irwine paused, Arthur jumped up, and filling his glass, said, ‘A bumper to Adam Bede, and may he live to have sons as faithful and clever as himself !’

A Rough Trip.

A BAD SHAKING UP ON A TWO WEEFKS’ JOUR- NEY FROM THE END OF THE TRACK—A MONEY ORDER GFFICE OPENED AT BEAVER CREEK,

(From the Winnipeg Times, Feb. 3.)

Post Office Inspector MeLeed arrived home from the west iasi night, a very much broken up man. <A Times reporter visited him at his residence this morning and found him in bed, completely exhausted. He re- Jated his experience as follows :

‘**I left here fovr weeks ago to go to Beaver Creek, or Canyon, -28 some cail it, Before going into the moonrains, I drove to M.Leod from Calgary end back, taking the train to my destination, which 1] reached without difficulty, I may stete that the object of the trip was the establishment of a money order office at Beaver Canyon, at the present end of the track. TT) is business was cffected on Monday, and Mr. Tom Gor- Leaving Beaver Creek we started east acain, travel- ling by rail os far as the third siding. Here the diflicuities commenced, it being the foot of the western slope of the Rockies, the grades are very steep, some of them four and ahalf per cent., and frequently the train service is suspended by the snew slides and the ice which forms across the track by the freezing up of the waters run- ning down the sides of the mountain, The train service of the C. P. R. does not ex- tend west of Lagyan and the balance cf the line to Beaver Canyon, a distarce of eighty-five miles, is operated by the con- tractors, It had not been intended to rnna regular train service this* winter, conse- quently we made arrang: ments last fal! to have the mail carried by dog train from Laggan to the third crossing, from whence there is a good road easily operated to the Beaver. Here our jurisdiction ends, and the mails are conveyed to the various camps by the C. P. R. mail company, each man being charged twenty-five c nts a month to keep up the service. Weill, when we got to the third siding we found the track was closed up and determined to travel to Laggan, a distance of forty miles, by the dogs. We were compelled to walk the whole distance, however, as the ani- mals had all they could do to drag the mails, the snow being from three to four feet deep. We had two days of this travel- ling over a road that defies discription betore reaching Laggan, the whole distance being an up grade. We stayed a day at Liggan, and ther got a tie train as far as Canmore. From there five of us secured a hand car and started for Calgary, a distance of fifty-five miles. The rovd has a down grade nearly the whole distance, but we were caught in a most terrific blizzard, and mee'ing frequently with immense snow drifts over the track, had to p” tase the hand car around them, a most laborious operation. Two days of this and we reached Calgary. Here I met Messrs. ©, 8. Drum- moud and Chaffey , and we started at once for the east in a freight train. Forty miles east at Strathmore we were doomed ‘o another delay, the train striking a big drifs, throwing the caboose and several cara into the ditch, We managed to reach Gileichen, where we stayed twenty-four hours, and managed to work along as far as Medicine Hat. Here we laid up and waited for the regular passenger from Calgary, as we could not catch one at Moose Jaw,

‘* The trip was the hardest and coldest I ever experienced,” said Mr. McLeod, “and I would not go through the same again for any money. Jt just took me two weeks to come from the Beaver, Mail matters are working very satisfactorily, althongh it is a hard division to handle. At Beaver Canyon there is a town of some five hundred people. The timber in the

ito see them looking now. Bur I’m sure you will not wender when I say, that awong all those young

| men, the one in whom I have the strongest ‘interest is my friend Mr, Arthur Donui-

Mr. McLeod expects to be able to get around ju a day or two,
