|where she and Miss Annie were to be seated with old Mr. Donnithorne, that jthey might look on at the dancing, like \kings and queens in the plays. Arthur

had put on his uniform to please the tenants, he said, who thought as much of his militia dignity

as if it had been an elevation to the pre- miership. He had not the least objection to gratify them in that way; his uniform was very advantageous to his figure.

The old Squire, before sitting down, walked round the hall to greet the tenants and make polite speeches to the wives; he was always polite, but the farmers had found out, after Jeng puzzling, that this polish was one of the signs of hardness. It was observed that he gave his most elaborate civility to Mrs. Poyser to-night, inquiring particularly about her health, recommending her to strengthen herself with cold water as he did, and avoid all drugs. Mrs. Poyser courtesied and thanked him with great self- command; but when he passed on, she whispered to her husband, ‘I’ll lay my life he’s brewin’ some nasty turn against us. Old Harry doesna wag his tail so for noth- ing.’ Mr, Poyser had uo time to answer, for now Arthur came up and said, ‘Mrs. Poyser, I’m come to request the favor of your hand for the first dance; and Mr. Poyser, you must let me take you to my aunt, for she claims you as her partner.’

The wife’s pale cheek flushed with a ner- vous sense of unwonted honor, as Arthur led her to the top of the room; but Mr. Poyser, to whom an extra glass had re- stored his youthful confidence in his good looks and good dancing, walked aiong with them quite proudly, secretly flattering him- self that Miss Lydia had never had a partner in her life who could lift her off the ground as he would. In order to balance the orders given to the two parishes, Miss Irwine danced with Luke Britton, the largest Broxton farmer, and Mr. Gawaine led out Mrs. Britton. Mr. Irwine, after seating his sister Anne, had gone to the Abbey gallery, as he had agreed with Arthur beforehand, to see how the merriment of the cottagers was prospering. Meanwhile, all the less distinguished couples had taken their places ; Hetty was led out by the inevitable Mr. Craig, and Mary Burge by Adam; and now the music struck up, and the glorious country dance, best of all dances, began.

Pity it was not a boarded floor! Then the rhythmic stamping of the thick shoes would have been better than any drums. That merry stamping, that gracious nodding of the head, that waving bestowal of the hand—where can we see them now! That simple dancing of well-covered matrons, laying aside for an hour the cares of house and dairy, remembering but not affecting youth, not jealons but proud of the young maidens by their side—that holiday spright- liness cf portly husbands paying little com- pliments to their wives, as if their courting days were come again—those lads and lasses a little confused and awk- ward with their partners, having nothing

to say—it would bea pleasant variety to see all that sometimes, instead of low dresse:; and large skirts, and scanning

glances exploring costumes, and languid men in lackered boots smiling with double meaning.

There was but one thing to mar Martin Poyser’s pleasure in the dance; it was. that he was always in contact with Luke Bri'ton, that slovenly farmer. He thought of throwing a little glazed coldness into his eye in the crossing of hands; but then, as Miss Irwine was opposite to him instead of the offensive Luke, he might freeze the wrong person. So he gave his face up to hilari'y, unchilled by moral judgments.

How Hetty’s heart beat as Arthur

i

approached her! He had hardiy looked at her to-dey; now he must take her baad, Would She

|thovght she should cry if he gave her no sign of feeling.

Now he was there—he had taken her hand—yes, he was pressing ‘it, Hetty turned pale as she looked up to , him for an instant and met his eyes before the dance carried him away.

A SUGGESTION.

Sirn,—There was gladness all around, | when on the 27th Jan. the steamer North- ern Light arrived safe in Georgetown after being five days in the ice. There was also gladness mingled with sorrow, when the |news spread far and wide on the 30th, that |the Cape Traverse boatmen and passengers had landed at Argyle Shore. A day or two | more of that tempestuous weather, and the jlittle Northern Light might have been -erushed to atoms on the iron-bound coast ‘of Cape Breton; andafew hours more of i that bitter Thursday night, and there might 'not be left one of the hardy boatmen, or of their passengers, to tellthetale. Ali praise to the Highland matrons and maidens who ministered so promptly to the alleviation of the sufferings of the exhausted, famished, and frozen strangers, who came helpless to their houses; and if, a few weeks ago, the citizens of Portland, Oregon, presented a gold watch and chain to a Mrs. Justru,near the Dalles, for feeding some tired and hungry men who were working raising the snow blockade, there is not the least doubt but the premier of the Dominion will place equally as good a gold watch and chain arcund the necks of each of these Scottish girls of Argyle Shore.

This recent disaster at the Capes has waked up our people to our means of com- munication, and the very strong resolutions passed at the Jate public meeting in Char- lettetown, will, of course, be presented to the Dominion Government; and as several gentlemen have given their opinions through the newspapers respecting improve- ments at the Cape,sperbaps 1 may be allow- ed to say that an epportunity now offers of obtaining the Arctic steamer, Alert, at pre- sent in New York, if our Members and Senators at Ottawa be alive and strike the iron while it is hot. This ship, it will be remembered, was offered as a present by the British Government to the United S'ates last year when the latter country was pre- paring to send an expedition to Lady Franklin Bay in search of Lieut. Greely, and was cordially accepted by the Govern- ment at Washington.

The expedition was successful, and now the United States are asking England to accept her back with the thanks of Congress; and if England generously pre- sented her to the United States for a mission of cuty and of mercy to rescue gallant men who were perishing, she -will not now refuee her to her own loyal Canadian people in order that their lives may under Providence be comparatively safe. The Alert has been twice out to the Arctic regions. She is seven or eight years old, about 300 tons, draws about sixteen feet, and thoroughly fitted out in every way—being a good ship she was offered by England so that life might be saved. A cable from the Government at Ottawa would secure her at once before she is returned, and if once obtained for the Island mail and passenger service, our people would have a steamer they would be proud of, and have confidence in, to cross almost any day in winter, excepting a blinding snowstorm, and the Government would, perhaps, to the fullest extent, have fulfiled their engagement of keeping up eflicient steam communication.

Sheuld the Alert not be obtainable, the United States have now two Arctic steam- ers—the Bear and the Thetis, both equally as good as the Alert, and perhaps one of these could be purchased.

The Bear is two cr three years old and was purchased in St. John’s, and the Thetis was purchased new, last spring, in Dundee, and taken out in March to New York, encountering terrific gales, and prov- ing herself a splendid sea boat. Both these ships went last summer, in company with the Alert, and all returned safe.

These steamers are just what the increas- ing trade of our Province requires—with their main decks wide and roomy and housed in, our farmers and traders would get all off to market— and had one of these been on the route this winter, the whole cargo of the bark Erema, now in Halifax, could have been brought to Georgetown in one or two trips, aud the Erema sent off to the West Indies Thisby the way. I hope and trust that the press of P. E. Island, speaking for the people, will urge upon our men at Ottawa to get one of these steamers. She can lie in Port Hawkesbury by the 10th of March, ready to come into the Bay the first moving of the ice. These ships are built and equipped in the very best manner, nothing spared. They are the resu!t of all the science and ekill of experienced, intel- ligent men, and not the dream of vision- aries.

Some say : ‘‘Don’t tell the Government what we want ; it is for the Government

i

to find out. We want them to fulfill their part of the compact,” &c. This may be all right. Per-

haps it would be impertinent to point out or to suggest anything to a Government pwho, as my friend said, ‘‘have scaled the Rocky Mountains ;” but, as all hands agree that we want a more powerful steamer than the Northern Light, I thought I would drop you this letter. Yours, Fintay MoNequ. Summerside, Feb. 20, 1885
