ADAM BEDE.

CHAPTER XXX. (Continued. )

Adam's words relieved one of Heity’s fears, bat they als» carried a meaning which sickened her boding. She was pale and trembling, and ‘yet she would have angrily contradicted ‘Adam if she had dared to betray her ‘feelings. But she was silent.

‘ You're so young, you know, Hetty,’ he |went on, almost tenderly, ‘and y’ haven't ‘seen much o’ what goes on in the world.

It’s right for me todo what I can to save you from getting into trouble for want o’ \your knowing where you're being led to.

if anybody besides me kuew what | know | about your meeting a gentleman, and hav-

‘ing fine presents from him, they’d speak

light on you, and you'd lose your character; |

and, besides that, you'll have to sutier your feelings wi’ giving your leve to a man 4s can never marry you, so as he might take ‘care of you all your life.’

| Adam paused, and looked at Hetty, who rwas plucking the leaves from the filbert ltrees, and tearing them up in her hand. | Her little plans and preconcerted speeches |had all forsaken her, like an ill-learned ‘lesson, under the terrible agitation pro- |duced by Adam’s words. There was @ ‘cruel force in their calm certainty which threatened to grapple and crush her flimay hopes and fancies. She wanted to resist them—she wanted to throw them off with angry contradiction ; but the determination to conceal what she felt still governed her. It was nothing more than a blind prompting now, for she was unable to calculate the effect of her words.

‘You've no tight to say as I love him,’ another rough leaf and tearing it up. She was very beautiful in her paleness and agi- tation, with her dark childish eyes dilated, and her breath shorter than usual. Adam’s heart yearned over her as he looked at her. Ah! if he could buat comfort her, and soothe her, and save her from this pain ; if he had but some sort of strength that would enable him to rescne her poor troubled mind, as he would have rescued her body in the face of all danger !

‘I doubt it must be so, Hetty, tenderly ; ‘for I canna believe you'd let auy give you a gold box with his hair, and go a-walking i’ the grove to meet him, if you didn’t love him. I’m not blaming you, for 1 know it ’ud begin little and little, till at last you'd not be able to throw it off. It’s him I blame for stealing your love ? that way, when he knew he could never make you the right amends. He’s been trifling with you, and making a plaything o’ you, and caring nothing about you as a man ought to care.’

‘Yes he does care for me; I know better nor you,’ Hetty burst qut. Everything was forgotten but the pain and anger she felt at Adam’s words,

‘Nay, Hetty,’ said Adam, ‘if he’d cared for you rightly he’d never ha’ behaved so. He told me himself he meant nothing by his kissing and presents, and he wanted to make me believe as you thought light of ‘em too. But I know better nor that, I can’t belp thinking as you’ve been trusting t’s loviag you well enough to marry you, for all he’s a gentleman. And that’s why I must speak to you about it Hetty—for fear you should be deceiving yourself. It’s never entered his head, the thought o’ marrying you.’

‘How do you know? How durst you say co! said Hetty, pausing in her walk, and trembling. The terrible decision cf Adam's tone ehook her with fear. She had no presence of mind left for the reflection that Arthur would have his reasons for not telling the truth to Adam. Her words and looks were enough to determine Adam ; he must give her the letter.

‘You perhaps can’t belive me, Hetty ; because you think too well of him—because you think he Joves you better than he dces. But ve got a letter i’ my pocket, as he wrote himself for me to give you. Ive not lread the letter, but he says he’s told you the truth init. But, before I give you the letter, consider, Hetty, and don’t let it take too much hold on you. It wouldua ha’ been good for you if he’d wanted to d such a mad thing ®s marry you; it ‘ud ha’ led to no happiness i’ the end,’

Hetty said nothing ; she felt a revival of hope at the mention of a letter that Adam had not read. There would be something quite different in it from what he thought.

Adam took out the letter, but he held it in his hand still, while he said, in a tone of tendcr entreaty —

‘Don’t you bear me ill will, Hetty, because I'm the means o’ bringing you this pain. God knows I'd ha’ borne a good deal worse for the sake o’ sparing it you. And think —there’s ncbody but me knows about this ; and I'll take care of youasif I was your brother. You're the same as ever to me, for 1 don’t believe you've done any wrong knowingly.’

Hetty had laid her hand on the levter, but Adam did not loose it until he had dove speaking. She took no notice of what he

loosed the letter; she put it into her pocket, without opening it, and then began to walk more quickly, as if she wanted to go in.

‘You're in the right not to read it just yet,’ said Adam. yourself. But stay out a little bit longer, and let us call the children; you look so white and ill, your annt may take notice of it,’

Hetty heard the warning. It recalled to her the necessity of rallying her native powers of concealment, which had half given way under the shock of Adam's werds. And she had the letter inher pocket; she was sure there was comfort in that letter, in spite of Adam. She ran to find Totty, and soon re-appeared with recovered color, lead- ing Totty, who was making a sour face, begause she had been obliged to throw

LEPTARS TO

Average Attendance at Schools.

Srr,—In the issue of the Examiner of the Dth inst., | observe a communication from Robert Jenkins, Mount Albion, on that part of our present school law relative to the average attendance at schools. It appears to have been the unanimous opinion of the ratepayers of Mount Albion District, pre- sent at a general meeting ,that the average of fifty per cent of the school children in a district, required by law to attend, is too high, and this is a grievance which, in the opinion of Mr, Jenking, is not confined to that particular district. It is to be regrett- ed that when the ratepayers of Mount ‘Albion undertook to criticise the school law, they did not strike upon a real cause of complaint. It is difficult to imagine a body of men seriously condemning a law, which requires the expenditure of somewhere in the vicinity of one hundred thousand dol- lars, annually, for the education of, at least, one-helf of the num- ber of children in this Province in the achcol ages. Yet so it is, and doubtless if the government provided a_ teacher for every ten families throughout the Province, some would be found to complain because it was not five. But the height of absur- dity is reached when Mr. Jenkins informs us that he is in favor of compulsory educa- tion. He now complains because the law requires an average one-half of the number of school children in a district to attend school, and at the same time he tells us that he would frame a law compelling the attendance «f the entire number. It is ' drawing it mild to say there appears to be ‘evidence of inconsistency inthis. Perhaps |Mr, Jenkins will explain. That which is, oc appears te be, easily obtainable is seldom | appreciated, and perhaps if the ratepayers ‘had to pay a great deal more directly than they do for the education of their children, there would be less difficulty experienced

> he said | in obtaining the average attendance re-

ired by law.

Now, I propose to give my views on a ' part of our School Law, in which it appears {to me there is substantial grounds for com- ‘plaint and for amendment.

| The law divides teachers iuto three classes, and the teachers of the several classes receive different salaries, In addi- tion to the salary allowed by law, the district is permitted to supplement a further sum which is again supplemented by an equal amount from the Government, so long as it does not exceed a limited figure. Now, the district that can raise the largest supplement will, as a matter of course, obtain the services of a teacher of the highest class ; while a district that can- not afford any supplement, if it can obtain a teacher at all, will have to be contented with one of the lowest grade. The prac- tical result of this is, that the latter dis- trict, that cannot afford a supplement to its own teacher, is paying part of the salary ‘of the teacher of the former.

Leaving the supplement out of the ques- ‘tion, why should one district receive from ,the governmeot a larger sum for educa- ‘tional purposes than another? Taxation is ‘supposed to be, and ought to be, equal | Upon all, then why not all receive equal ‘benefits! Is it because one district is a ‘little poorer than another that its children must be condemned to an infericr educa-

tion? One dis‘rict receives from the treasury $300 for a first class teacher, and if it can pay $150 supplement will receive an additional $150 from the government, ‘making a total of $450. The adjoining ' district cannot offer a supplement, and gets $180 for a third class teacher. Where the silaries are paid from a common fund, raised by the equal taxation of all, it is ‘quite apparent that the poorer district con- tributes tu the cost for educational purposes

of the richer. | Now it seems to me this ought to be the plan adopted by the Government. Let

there be a salary for but one class of ‘teachers paid by the Government. Let the _ teachers of that class be required to im- part a fair Eoglish educatio1, or what is termed a knowledge of the three R’s. If any district can afford to and requires a higher class of teachers, give it power to tax for |and pay him whatever salary it wishes on the Government allowance, then as far as Government support is concerned all will | be on an equal footing. The education of this Province will not cost nearly so mvch ‘as it does now, and perhaps the average ‘could be easily obteined.

Yours,

The Capes’ Disaster. BOATMAN CAMPBELL’S STATEMENT. Sin,—I observe in the Journal, and also ‘copied in Tue Examiner, a letter signed Walter R. Heywood, in reference to the late disaster, in which he says, or rather insinuates, that the charges that have been made against the boatmen are correct, be- ‘cause Mr. Glidden said so. Mr. Heywood seems to discredit Mr. Millet’s statement on behalf of the crews, on the ground that he is persovally acquainted with Mr. Glidden, and that gentleman cannot err. Now, have nothing to say against Mr. Glidden or any of the passengers. They all seemed to be gentlemen, but Ido say that some of them have used us badly through the press, which we deem unfair. In the in- ‘terest of fair play we cannot let those charges go uncontradtcted. It is a pity that the crews and passengers should be at variance, whew all,at one time, expected to be launched together into eternity |efore the rising of another sun.

With reference to the statement tha! par-

All bad a fair show around the fire. Again, the charge that in landing ithe strong went ahead and left the weak behind is not true, as I will now show First of all to get assistance ashore was young Trenholin, who wes exhausted and delirious. He was assisted by Hanford | Allen. De. Mcintyre, who complained of blindness and exhaustion, was helped \eahioes by Muncy Irving end Mont, Camp- bell. George Allen was essisted by myself. Mr. Glidden was assisted by Capt. Muttart, and Ephriam Bell helped Mr. Wilson ashore. And, after all, we are charged with barbarity and inhumanity.

We have waited long for an investi- gation, but as yet there have been no steps taken to give us a chance to vindicate our- selves, except by the press demanding it. There might possibly have been some indi- vidual cases of selfishness on the part of the crews, but, if so, we are not aware of it, but even if true, charges can be made of selfish- ness the other way.
