CHAPTER XIV,

(Continued. }

| The still twilight, with its dying western ired, and is few faint struggling stars, rest- ‘ed on the farm-yard, where there was not ‘a sound to be heard but the stamping of the cart-hors-s in the stable. It was about twenty minutes after sunset; the fowls were all gone to roost, and the bulldog lay stretched on the straw outside hia kennel, with the black-and-tan terrier by his side, when the falling-to of the gate disturbed them, and set them barking, lke good officials, befcre they had any distinct knowledge of the reason »

The barking had its effect in the house ; for, as Dinah and Hetty approached, the doorway was filled by a portly figure, with a ruddy, black-eyed face, which bore in ic the possibility of looking extremely acute, and occasionally contemptuous, on market days, but had now a predeminant after- supper expression of hearty good nature.

It is well known that great scholars who have shown the most pitiless acerdity in their criticism of other men’s sch« larship have yet been of a relenting and indulgent temper in private iife ; and 1 have heard of al arned man meekly rocking the twins in the cradle with his left hand, while with his right hand he inflicted the most lacerat- ing sarcasms on an opponent who had be- trayed a brutal iguorance of Hebrew. Weaknesses and errors must be forgiven alas they are not alien to us—but the man who takes the wrong side on the momen- tous subjcct of the Hebrew points must be treated asthe enemy of his race. There was the s*me sort of antithetic mixture in Martin Poyser; he was of so excellent a disposi‘ion that he had been kinder and more respectful than ever to his old father

since he had made a deed of gift of all his preperty, and no man judged his neighbors more charitably

on all personal maiters; but for a farmer, like Luke Brtion, for example, whose fallows were rot well cleaned, who didn't know the rudiments of hedging and ditch- ing, and showed but a small shere of judg- ment in the purchase of winter stock. Martin Poyser was as hard and implaca! le as the north-east wind. Luke Britton conld not make a remark, even on the weather, but Martin Poyser detected in it a taint of that unsoundness and general ignorance which was palpable in all his farming operation. He hated to see the fellow lift the pewter pint to his mouth in the bar of the Royal George on market- day, and the mere sight of him on the other side of the road brought a severe and critical expression into his black eyes, as different as possille from the fatherly glance he bent on his two nieces as they approached the door. Mr, Poyser had smoked his evening pipe, and now held his hands in his pockets, as the only resource of a man who contioues to sit up after the day’s business is done.

‘Why, lasses, ye’re rather late to-night,’ he said, when they reached the little gate ieading into the causeway. ‘The mother’s begun to fidget abv ut you, an’ she’s got the little un ill. An’ how did you Jeave th’ old woman B d>, Dinah? He'd been but a poor bargain to h r this five year.’

‘She’s been greatly distressed for the loss o’ him,’ said Dinah, ‘but she seemed more comforted to-day. Hgrson Adam's been at home all day, working at his father’s ccftin, and she loves to hove him at home. She’s been talking about him to me almost all day. She has a loving heart, thovgh she’s sorely given to fret and be fearful, 1 wish she had a surer trust to comfort her in her old age.’

‘Adam's sure enongh,’ said Mrs. Poyser, misunderstanding Dinah’s wish. ‘There’s no fear but he’il yield well i’? the threshing. He’s not one o’ them as is all straw and no grain. I'll be bond for him any day, as he’ll be a good son to the last. Did he say he’d be coming to see ussoon? But come in, come in,” he added, making way for them ; ‘I hadn’t need keep y’ out any longer.’

The tall buildings round the yard shut out a good deal of the sky, but the large window let in abundant light to show every corner of the house place,

Mrs. Poyser, seated in the rocking-chair, which had been brought out of the ‘right- hand parlor,’ was trying to soothe Totty to sleep. But Totty was not disposed to sleep; and when her cousins entered, she raised herself up, and showed a pair of flushed cheeks, which looked fatter than ever now they were defined by the edge of her linen night-cap.

In the large wicker-bottomed arm-chair in the left-hand chimney-nook sat old Martin Poyser,a hale but shrunken and bleached imageof his portly black-haired son, his head hanging forward a little, and his elbows pushed backward so as to allow the whole of his fore arm to rest on the arm of the chair. His blue handkerchief was spread over his knees, 28 was usval indoors when it was not hanging over his head; and he sat watching what went forward | with the quite outward glance of healthy jold age. which, disengaged from any inter- ‘est in an inward drama, spies out pins upon ‘the floor, follows one’s minutest miotions | with an unexpectant purposeless tenacity, watches the flickering of the fiame or the sun 'gleains on the wall, counts the quarries on the floor, watches even the hand on the ‘clock, and pleases itself with detecting a ‘rhythm in the tick.

‘What atime o’ night this is to come Hetty,’ said Mrs. Poyser. ‘Look clock, do; why, it’s going on for half past nine, and I’ve sent the gells to bed this half hour, and Jate enough too, when they've got to get up at half after four, and the baking; and bere’s this bles- ‘sed child wi’ the fever for what I know,and as wakeful as if it was dinner-time, avd ne- body to help me give her the physic bat your uncle, and fine work there’s been, and

| *I did set out before eight, annt,’ said | Hetty, in a pettish tene, with a slight toss of ber head. ‘ But this clock’s su much before the clock at the Chase, there’s no ‘telling what time it’il be when I yet here.’ ‘What, you'd be wanting the clock set by 'gentlefoiks’ time, would you? an’ sit up ‘burnin’ candle, an’ lie abed wi’ the sun |a-bakin’ you, like a cowcumber i’ the frame?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

-——_o>——--—-

Violation of the Law in King’s Co.

Sir,—The temperance people of King’s County have held their peace until forbear- ance ceased tobe a virtue. Almost every day the word comes from M«ntague Bridge, Cardigan, and even from Georgetown, the seat of the Chief Inspector of Licenses for King's Co., that fice rum is the oréer of the day. We had he ped that with the Scott Act proved to be the valid law of the land, supp'emented by the License Act, with its Board of Commissioners and In- spectors, that this curse of curses wouid have ere this been driven to the wall; but such is not the case. The question arises : Whose fault is it that rum has not been routed! Facts are not wanting to prove that a majority of our License Cowmis- sioners anc one of our Inspectors are in full sympathy with rum, hence the free rum of King’s County. Soon Mr. M: Kinnon will be asking for the salary attached to his office. What has he done to eam it! Al- though it wes a fact patent to everybody at the time of his appointment that his sym- pathy was with the tr fc, yet his letter in your paper last spring ied us to hope that he would try to redeem himself in the eyes of the temperance people. But alos! can the Ethiopian change his skin? We now ask those of our Commissioners and Inspec- tors whose sympathies are with us to come out over their own signatures and let us know just where the blame lies. We want to know whether ‘‘ the powers that be” in- tend to enforce the laws of our country or not, so that we may govern ouree.ves accordingly.

Yours, &c., Goov TEMPLAR.

An Obliging Official.

Sir —Being on a vsit to P. E, Island, and having cccasion to see sou e friends in Wood Islands, we hired a team in Char- lottetown for that purpose, and on the evening of the 19:h inst. proceeded as far as ‘*‘Halfway House,” Vernon River. Next morning, the 20th inst, a raging snow storm had set in, breaking up the roads ard making travelling almost ipoarible. We were thinking of working our way back to Charlonietown, when Mr, Joveph Me- Donald, the efficiant, punctual and obliging mail carrier between Vernon River and Wood Isiands made his «ppearatce, ard by him promising to bring us throngh to Wood Islands before cark, we consented to fellow. The reads were +1 ogetier impassible and we had to wend our way through fields, woods, and stumps, bresk ng down fences, claring away sw banks and other obsiructions. However through the energy and yjerseversne of our bave guide, Mr. McDon»ld, we arived save at Woud Islands at dark, -fter a tire ome and faiiguing journey. It is very much to be reyretted that such com; etent and obligirg officials as Mr. McDonald, who have to face storms and snow orfis, breaking roads through dense snow banks, should not be better paid for thir services. Such men es he are hard to find, and we trust, as his services are so much appreciated, that his salary as well as others engaged in the same persuits, in future may be increased.

An Earthquake in Spain.

Details of the earthquake on Wednesday night, raysa Midrid despatch of the 26th Dec, show that it was more disastrous than first anticipate’. Ove shock lested fifty seconds and was felt thronghout the whole of Spain, but more especially in Andalusia, where a number of towns suf- fered severely. At Granada. houses rocked violently, and the earth trembled teneath the feet of the _ inhabit- ants as they fled panic stricken from their homes to the fi-lds. Some were wounded while fleeing through the streets by falhng bricks and cornices. A number of buildings were badly damsged. At Malaga the shock was more disastrously felt, many houses being wrecked and anum- ber of inmates were killed and a large number wounded. Those who escaped without injury deserted their homes and camped in the open squares ard in the fields outside the towns. Fainter shocks occurred at intervals during the night, which increased the alarm of the people and prevented them seeking shelter in any building. To-day large gangs of men are at work «among the ruins searching for bodies Already a number of bodies have been received. Many more are known to be still buried among the debris The government sent provisions, clothing, ete., for the rehef of the sufferers, ard a subserption list has been opened. In Madrid the damave was slight, but the sheck was swfliciently fele 10 frighten *he inhabitants. Places of amuse- ment were quickly emptied of audiences, and performances brought to an abrupt close.
