ADAM BEDE.
| CHAPTER IV. (Continued. )
sunt he had the best antidote against ‘imaginative dread in the necessity for coiting on wiih the coffin, and for the next iten minutes his hammer was ringing so ‘uninterruptedly that cther sounds, if there were any might well be overpowered. pause came, however, when he had to take up his ruler, and now again came the strange rap, and again Gyp howled. Adam was at the door without the loss of a
s‘arlight showed there was nothing but the dew-laden grass in front of the cottage.
Adam for a moment thought uncom- fortably about his father; but of late years he had never come home at dark hours from Treddleston, and there was every reason for believing that he was then sleeping off his drunkenness at the ‘Wagon Over- thrown.’ Besides, to Adam the conception of the future was so inseparable from the painful image of his father, that the fear of avy fatal accident to him was exciuded by the deeply-infixed fear of his continual degradation. The next thought. that! occurred to him was one that made him s!:p off his shoes and tread lightly up stairs, to jisten at the bedroom doors. But both) Seth and his mother were breathing regularly.
Adam came down and set to work again, saying to himself, ‘I won’t open the door again. Ita no use staring about to catch sight of a aound. Maybe there’s a world about us as we can’c see, but th’ ear’s
from *t zow and then. Some people thick they get a sight on ‘t too, but they're mostly folks whose eyes are not much use to ’em at anything else. Fer my part, | think it’s better to see when your perpen- dicular’s true, than to see a ghost.’
Such thoughts as these are apt to grow stronger as daylight quenches the candles and the birds begin to sirg.* By the time the red sunlight shone on the brass nails that formed the initials on the lid of the coffin, euy lingering forbodings from the sound cf the willow wand wes merged in satisfaction that the work was done and the promise redeemed, There was no need to call Seth, for he was already moving over- head, and presently came down stairs.
‘Now, lad,’ said Adam, as Seth made his appearance, ‘the cofiin’s done, and we can take it over fo Biox’on and be back again before half after siz, Tl take a mouthful o’ oat-cake, and then we'll be off.’
The cofiin was soon propped on the tall shoulders of the two brothers, and they were making their way, followed close by Gyp, out of the little wood-yard into the lane at the back of the house. It was but about a mile and half to Broxion over the opposite stope, and their road wound very pleasantly along lanes and across fields, where the pale woodbines and the dog-roses were scenting the hedgerows, and the birds were twittering and trilling in the tall leafy boughs of oak and elm. It was a strangely-mingled picture—the fresh youth of the summer morning, with its Eden like peace and loveliness, the stal- wart strength of the two brothers in their rusty working clothes, and the long coffin on their shoulders. They paused for the last time before a small farm-honse outside che village of Broxton, By six v’clock the task was done, the coffin nailed down, and Adam and Seth were on their way home. They chose a shorter way homeward, which would take them across the fields and the brook in front of the house. Adam had not mentioned to Seth what had happened in the night, but he still retaived sufficient impression from it himself to say:
‘Seth, lad, if father isn’t come home by the time we’ve had our breakfast, I think it’il be as well for thee to go over to Tred- die’s and look after him, and thee canst get me the brass wire want. Never mind losing an hour at thy work: we can make that up. What dost say?’
‘I’m willing,”) said Seth. ‘But see what derk clouds have gathered since we set out. lin thinking we shall have more rain. It'll be a sore time for th’ haymaking if the meadows are flgoded again. The brook’s fine and full now; another day’s rain ‘ud cever the plank, and we shonld have to go round by the road.’
They were coming across the valley now, and had entered the pasture through which the broek ran.
‘Why, what’s that sticking against the willow ? continued Seth, beginning to waik faster. Adam’s heart rose to his mouth; the vague anxiety about his father was changed into a great dread. He made no enswer to Seth but ran forward, preceded by Gyp, who began to bark uneasily; and in two moments he was at the bridge.
This was what the omen meant, then ! And the gray-haired father, of whom he had thought with a sort of hardness a few hours ago, as certain to live to be a thorn in his side, was perhaps even then struggling with that watery death. This was the first thought that flashed through Adam's con- {science, before he had time to seizs the eo and drag out the tall heavy body. | Seth was already by his side, helping him; |apd when they had it on the bank the two ‘sons in the first moments knelt and looked | with mute awe at the glazed eyes, forgetting ‘that there was need for acuou—forgett g everything but thet their father lay dead ‘before them. Adata was the first to speek
‘Ll run to mother,’ he said, in a loud whisper. ‘I'jl be back to thee in a ‘minute.’ | Poor

it’s heavier now, wi’ poor Bob Tholer in’t. Howiver, ve made a drop more porridge nor common this mornin’. The feytker ‘uli happen come in arter a bit. Not as he'll ate much perridge. He swal- lers sixpennorth o’ ale, an’ saves a hap’orth o porridge—that’s his way o’ layin’ by ‘money, as I’ve told him many a time, an’ am likely to tell him again afore the cays ont. Eh! poor mon, be takes it quiet enough ; there’s no denying’ that.’

|turping quickly toward the door, she saw ' Adam encer, looking so pale and overwkelm- ed that she screamed aloud and rushed toward him before he had time to speak.
‘Hush, other,’ said Adam, ‘rather hoarsely, ‘don’t be frightened. Father's tumbled into the water. Belike we may bring him round again. Seth and me are going to carry him in, Get a blanket, and make it hot at the fire.’
In reality Adam was convineed that his father was dead, but he knew there was no other way of repressing his mother's im- petaons wailing grief than by occupying her
in it.
He ran back to Seth, and the two sons lifted the sad burden in_ heart-stricken silence. The wide-open, glazed eyes were grey, like Seth’s, and had once looked with mild pride on the boys before whom Thias had lived to hang his head in shame. Seth’s chief fecling was awe and distress at the sudden snatching away of his tather’s soul; but Adam’s mind rushed back over the past ina flood of relenting and pity. When Death, the great Reconciler, has come, it is never onr tenderness that we repent of, but our severity.
(To be continued.)
The Permissive Bill in St. John’s.
The temperance wave is sweeping over Newfoundland. A correspondent of the Montreal Gazette writes :—‘*'The promoters of the temperance cause have decided on making a strong ¢ffort to biing into opera- tion the provisions of our local option or temperance act in S:. John’s, In 1871 an act was passed similar in its provisions to the Scott Act of the Domi: ion of Canada, whereby two-thirds of the daly quslified voters in any elvetoral district may, alter a poll taken in dne form, secure the prohibi- tion of the sale of all intoxicating liquors within the bounds of such di trict. In the first instance it is necessary that one-fifth of such electors siall unite in a petition for a poll being taken. When two-thirds of the votes polied are in favor of the application of the prohibition act in that district, it then becomes unlawful for any person to sell intoxicating liquors, «xcept for medi- cipal or sacramental purposes, When a poll has been taken once on the matter no new poll can be taken for three years. This act is in operation in several electoral districts, and last year Harbor Grace, the second town in the island adopted it. These successful applications of the act have encouraged its enthusiastic supporters to believe that the time has come for taking a poll on the subject in the metro- politan district, so as to place St. John’s itself under its provisions. On this point there is considerable difference of opinion among the supporters of the temperance cause. The Total Abstinence Society, a very numerous body here, whose members are Roman Catholics, do not favor the muvement; but their representatives declare themselves favorable to ‘‘prohibition”— that is the passing of an act rendering the importation or manufacture of intoxicating liquors illega!—a measure which they appear to think would go to the root of the matter, and would be impartial in its operations, as it would equally cut off the rich man’s wine and the poor man’s rum, Until the triel is made, it ie impossible to say what might be the result of a poll in St. John’s. But it may be fairly question- ed whether public sentiment is ripe for such a change; and whether the attempt to enforce such a _ law, in the present condition of our population, might not te productive of worse evils than those which result from the present system of liceneing the sale. Many are of opinion that the movement is premature, and that it would be better to permit the growing sentiment in favor cf voluntary abstinence in the community to strengthen and mature before any attempt is made to vive itexpression in a legal enactment. Before any law con be entorced properly, especially when it interferes with social usages and personal liberty, it must be strongly supported by public sentiment, otherwise it falls inte contempt and be- comesa dead letter, The difficulties of en- forcing the temperance act in St. John’s would be enormous, Siill no harm can come of taking a poll totest public opinion, and this will probably be done. Qur people have made great advances of late yeare, in habits of temperance, and wil! compare favorably with those of any other country. our temperance societies are num-rous and active and have done much in fostering a healthy public sentiment on the sbject, and in awakening men’s minds to the evils of intemperance.

Fire in St. John’s, Nfld.
Two rather dest: uctive fires have occurred lately in St. Juhn’s, Nfld. One destroyed “The Terra Nova Iron Foundry,” owned by Mr. Gemmel. His loss was pretty well covered by insurances, and a new building is going up on the site of the last, and wili soon be ready for use. The eecond fire broke out in the shop of Mr. T. Bearns, Water Street, and sprrad to thatof Mr. Parnell and to Mr. Hearn’s stores, The joss is estimated at $50,000, and ie also wel! covered by insurances. They have now a very etticient fire brigade in St. John’s, and an ample supply cf water, which is thrown from the hydrants to the height of fifty or sixty feet, so that no engines are needed. Fires are thus extinguished readily, and
