CHAPTER XX.
(Continued. )
‘Well, Adam, [m glad to see ye,’ said Mr. Poyser. ‘What, ye’ve been helping Hetty to gether the currans, eh ? Come, \sit ye down, sit yedown. Why, it’s pretty |near a three-weck since y’ had your supper ‘wi us; and the misses has got one of her rare stuffed chines. I’m glad ye’re come.’
| ‘Hetty,’ said Mrs, Poyser, as she looked

This was said in a lower tone than usual,
while her husband was talking to ‘Adam; for Mrs. Poyser was strict jin adherence to her own rules of pro-
| priety, and she considered that a young girl
sence of a respectable young mau who was courting her. That would not be fair play; every woman was young in her turn, and had her chance of matrimony, which it was her point of honor for other women not to spoil—just as one market woman who has sold her own eggs must not try to balk another of her customer.
question, and Mrs. Poyser went out to see atter Marty and Tommy, and bring tnem in to supper.
Soon they were all seated—the two rosy lads, One on each side, by the pale mother, a place being left for Hetty between Adam and her uncle. Alick too was come in, broad beans out of a large dish with his which he would not have exchanged for the finest pine-apple.
‘What a time that gell is drawing the ale, to be sure,’ said Mrs. Poyser, when she was dispensing her slices of stuffed chine. ‘I think she sets the jug under and forgets to turn the tap, as there’s nothing you can't believe o’ them wenches; they'll set the empty kettle o’ the fire, and then come an hour after to see if the water boils,’
‘She’s drawin’ for the men too,’ said Mr. Poyser. ‘Thee shouldst ha’ told her to bring our jug up firsi.’
‘Told her! said Mrs. Poyser; ‘ yis, I might spend all the wind i’ my body, an’ take the bellows too, if 1 was to tell them gells everything as their own sharpness wonna tell’em. Mr. Bede, will you take some vinegar on your lettuce? Ay, you're i the right not. It spoils the flavor o’ the thing to my thinking. It’s poor eating where the flavor o’ the meat lies i’ the cruets. There’s folks as make bad butter, trusten to the salt t’ hide it.’
Mrs. Poyeer’s attention was here diverted by the appearance of Molly, carrying a large jug, two small jugs, and four drinking cans, all full of ale or small beer—an in- teresting example of the prehensile power possessed by the human hand. Poor Molly’s mouch was rather wider open than ‘usual, as she walked along with her eyes ‘fixed on the double cluster of vessels in her ihands, quite innecent of the expression in
her muistress’s eye.
‘Molly, { niver knew your equils—io think o’ your poor mother as isa widow, an’ | took you wi’ as good as no character, ‘an’ the times an’ times I’ve told you.’
Molly had not seea the lightning, and the thunder shook ber nerves the more for the want of that preparation. With a | Vague, alarmed sense that she must some- ‘how comport herself diflerently, she has- i teped her step alittle toward the far deal it le, where she might set down her cans— ‘caught her foot in her apron, which had \been untied, and fell with acrash and a ‘splash into a pool of beer; whereupon a | tittering explosion from Marty and Tommy ‘and a serious ‘Ello! from Mr. Poyser, lwho saw his draught of ale unpleasautly | deferred.
‘There you go!’ resumed Mrs, Poyser, lin a cutting tone, as she rose and went ‘toward the cupboard,-while Molly began ido'efully to pick up the fragments of pot- | tery. ‘It’s what I told you ‘ud come, over ‘and over again; and there's your month’s |wages gone, an’ more, to pay for that jag, ,as I’ve had in the house this ten year, and | nothing ever happened to’t before; but the lerockery you've broke sin’ here in th’ | house you’ve been ’ud make a parson swear '—God forgi’ me for saying 80; ge? is ‘had been boiling wort out o’ the copper, it :’ad ha’ been the same, and you'd ha’ been ‘scalded, and very like lamed for life, as there’s no knowiig but what you will be some day, if you yo on, for anybody ‘ud think you’d got the St. Vitus’ Dance, to see the things you’ve throwed down. It’s a pity but what the bits was stacked up for you to see, though it’s neither seeing nor hearing as uli make much odds to you —anybody ud think you war Case-hard- ened,’ | Poor-Molly’s tears were dropping fast by this time, and in her desperation at the lively movement of the beer-stream toward Alick’s legs, she was converting her apron into a mup, while Mrs. Poyser, opening the cupboard, turned a blighting eye upon her.
‘Ah! she went on, ‘you'll do no good wi’ crying an’ making more wet to wipe up. It’s all your own
-willfulness, as I tell you, for there’s nobody to cai] to break anything, if they'll only go the right way to work. But wooden folks would need ha’ wooden things t’ handle. And here must I take the brown and-white-

thing at the other end of the kitchen; per- haps it was because she was already trembling and nervous that the apparition had so strong an effect on her; perhaps jug- breaking, like other crimes, has a con- tagious influence. However it was, she stared and stared like a ghost-seer, and te precious brown-and-white jug fell to the grouod, parting forever with its spout and handle.
‘Did ever any body see the like ?’ she said, with a suddenly lowered tone, after a moment’s bewildered glance round the room, ‘The jugs are bewitched J think. It’s them nasty glazed handles—they slip o’er the finger like a snail.’

It was resolved that this society be knowr as the ‘Mount Stewart Temperance Union,” and also that fortnightly meetings be held, at which readings, recitations and speeches will be given with the view of furthering the good work.
A vigilance committee of five members was appointed, whose duty it shall be to investigate any charges that may be brought against any members of the society for vio- lation of their pledges, and to report the same to the Sec:etary.

A New Thing in Duels.
ONE FOUGHT ON THE ToP OF A CAR GUING THIKTY MILES AN HOUR,
George Jackson, conductor, and James Wilson, brakeman, of a freight train on the Louisville and Lexington Railway, were brought to their boarding housein Louis- ville on the 20th inst. suifering from wounds inflicted upon each other in a duel fought with bowie knives on the top of the train running at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Jack-oa was coming from L: xing- ten with his train, when he and Wilson
uarreled about @ woman in the cabvcose. The men were about to come to blows, when the proposition was made to Spht a duel on the top of the caboose with bowie knives, with which both were armed, No svoner was the proposition made than it was accepted. Drawing their weapous, the men climbed to the top of the car, while the other employees on the train gathered around to witness the cou bat. The train was whistling along at the rate of thirty miles an hour between Ohristian burg
and Ewinence, when the men announced themselves as ready for the battle. They rushed upon each other and closed in, The
blood soon trickled from the kuive blades and bespattered the roof of the car. The fight was apparently a combat to the death, but neither man showed signs of mortal wounding. The men separated once when the signal was given that the train was
