giving them a light toss into her hand.

‘Oh! you had better keep on your gloves, [ tell you, sir. Your hands look too white and delicate like to handle them dirty poles.’

Marcus cast a disdainful glance at his He wished Le could harden | and embrown them, but it was not the life

| ofa student that would do it.

‘ Perhaps you would jump in and go with us,’ said Marcus, observing that she looked doubtfully and wistfully on the river, ‘then you will not be anxious about the boat ?’

‘ Thankee, I don’t care if I do,’ answered she with alacrity; and stepping in, she snatched the pois from the tremulous hand of Simon, and told Marcus she would help him to pushit. She was young and active, and seemed to enjoy the sport keenly of seeing such a handsome young man, dress- ed so finely, pushing away lustily as a boat- |man. it was really a novel trio. Old Si- mon stood at the head of the boat, holding by the lantern-post, in his battered regi. mepvtals, looking like a militia ghost in the moonshine; the stout sunburnt, but now bright-faced woman, brandishing her pole, | and laughing merrily at the fair young man, | whose hands gleamed so white on the black rod he was wielding, and whose magnificent | hair gtistened and waved like molten gold. Marcus, whose experience of the previous | day had been heavily, cold on his heart] felt at this moment a wild gaiety as foreign | to his nature as the depression that had been sinking him. Old habits resume | their power. The water seemed his native : element, and dashed his pole into the strong current till he threw a shower of wet dia- monds on old Simon’s snowy woo! and the dishevelled locks of the ferryman's wife, he leaned back with all his strength, mire oring the moonbeams on his polished brow. When they reached the bank, Marcus bee held with astonishment a gentleman seat- ed in an open buggy, waiting to cross, He had come down the hill while the boat was going over, but they were too much excit-

boat, and looked at Marcus with evident | Curiosity and surprise. He was a young man, well-dressed, and carrying his head ' very loftily.

‘Young master,’ said Uncle Simon, see- | ing Marcus take one hand from the pole | and exposing its palm to the night sir, as | if its coolness were refreshing, ‘yo blister- | ing your hands, you know you be. They | tenderer now than they was when you little | boy, and push, push most all the time. | Lord bless me, to think you ever did do | sich « thing afore, looking so like a good | spirit as you do.’

Marcus felt his blood rush hotly to his face as he encountered the insolent stare of the young man at this reminiscence of Uncle Simon. It was Mr, Bellamy’s wish, when he went to college, that leshould never al- lude to his father’s past history ; that he should be considered as jis adopted son ; and Marcus had scrupulously obeyed him. As this period of his life was associated with his father’s degradatoin, he could not wish to allude to it before a stranger. Simon, who, with the garrulity of age, and its im- becility too, dreamed not he was saying anything his ‘ blessed young master ’ would

| wish unsaid, continued his remarks, regard.

less of the presence of the haughty strangs» er. ‘Young master, how do ole master like

his new profession? How do he like the business of overseeing the black, coloured population? Do he have much trouble? He in very ‘sponsible office. I hope he have wisdom from the Great Overseer of the black and white, way up yonder, young master; wisdom, such as the lord gave Saul when he built him the big edifice, all out of solid gold.’

Again the insolent eyes of the young man measured the figure of Marcus froin head to foot, while a supercilious smile covered his lips. Marcus's spirit was roused. The unfortunate allusions of old Simon were particularly galling at thismoment. Indeed they would have been at any monent. For where is the youth of the age of Marcus, fresh from communion with the aristocracy of the land, honoured himself ar-ong the most honourable as the adopted son of a wealthy planter, who would not shrink from being addressed as the son of a ferryman and overseer? Years hence he might look upon the warring passions of this hour with ® superior smile; but now his brow con- tracted, his fingers quivered, his blue eyes darkened and burned as they gave back the haughty stare of the stranger, and never did a prouder smile curl the lips of the Delphic god, when seen by the diyinities in his pastoral attire, then rested on Marcus's disdainful mouth. There was something in his countenance that made the stranger think it best to withdraw his inspection, and the boat went over the waves as if propell- ed by agiant’s hand. The moment they landed, Marcus caught up his hat and gloves, and without looking at the strang~ er, walked towards the spring, forgetting in his excitement that he had given no ans~ wer toold Simon’s well-mesnt but ill-timed questions.

‘You no ’fended with ole Simon, young master?’ said the old negro, hobbling af. ter him, seeing that sometbing was wrong, amd haying sense to connect himself with

it. ‘No, Unele Simon, I did not answer,

because that ill~bred stranger was annoying me so with his rudeness. He is gone, and Iam glad of it. I hear his wheels lumber- ing over the gravel. You asked after my father. He is well and happy—happier than he has been for long years. If he were the brother of Mr, Bellamy, he could not be more honoured’

‘ The Lord be praised,’ said uncle Simon, devoutly.

‘And now good-night, Unc'e Simon, I am going to sleep just where I am ; and I am going to start very early in the morn~ ing. I came far out of my way to see you and the old place, and I am glad I find you alive and well. 1 wish you could come and live withus. IfI ever have a home of my own, and you are alive, you shall have a nice, comfortable cabin by it. Katy says too you must live with her when she is married, So there is some danger of you being divided. Here, Uncle Simon, take this to remember us both, ‘added Marous filling his wrinkled band with silver. ‘1 shall be this way again some time. Good- bye. I am glad you linger near this spring You must always guard it for my sake,’

Simon wept again at the token of his young master's kindness,and at the thought of bidding him farewell.

‘Me never see you no more,’ said the aged negro; ‘but me hope to meet you in heaven above, where we both be one colour, one people, white as anow, inside and out. Tell Miily I'spect to meet her there, and Miss Katy too, biess her little heart. Ole Simon ‘member ’em all, every one, in his prayers to heavenly master’

Marcus looked after the old Christian soldier with melancholy interest, for in. all human probability he would never see him again in this world; then spreading the blanket fon the hard rock, he stretched himself by the fountain whose sweet, sooth~ ing, minor tone stole lovimgly in his ears, and calmed his exasperated spirit. Every- thing round breathed of such heavenly tranquility, it could not but be diffused into his own soui. The shadow ef the magnolia leaves played upon his face, the moon- beams played upon the waters, and the long blue.green moss played in the clear, silvered depths of the fountain, Vainly did Marcus try to shut one bright, deluding image from his mind. Vainly did he sigh for the fabled stream of Lethe to wash out its remembrance, L’Eclair sparkled in the moonlight waters—L’Eclair whispered in the murmuring rill--L’Eclair bent over him in the fragrant tree. At last he slept, and L’- Eclair floated into his dreams,and convert- ed them intoa bewildering maze. The an- gel, who stept into the pool of Bethesda, mmparting a healing influence to the troubl- ed waters, could hardly haye looked more like a celestial messenger, than Marcus, slumbering calmly in the silver moonbeams that imparted their pale glory to his youth- ful features. The ferryman’s wife came down ata late hour, to dip her bueket in the spring; but so charmed, so awe-struck was she, by the beauty of his repose, she would net disturb it by the plunge of her wooden vessel, and turned away, with stilly

footsteps.

The gentleman descended from his | Was the sbrill warble just then swelling |

No. it all flashed upon him at once—he was in the vestibule of the great temple of day, from whose unpillared dome the twilight shadows were faintly, slowly rolling away, !:efore the coming of the god that was soon his burningthrone. Kneeling ou the rock,

Not for three years had Marcus felt so | fully and deeply the influence of devotion. The hurry and confusion attending morn- ing prayers at college, the irreverent rush, and half-made toilet, the lingering yawn, and scarce-wakened attention, conrert these hasty exercises into a cold, unmean- ing ritual. Ife rose and bathed his face and hands in the spring, perceiving thst his hostess had laid a nice napkin on the rock for his use. Remembering Katy’s parting injunction to bring her the moss and mag- | nolia leaves, he gathered some of both, then rightly-believing the ferryman’s wife would come at an early hour to see if her blanket were safe,he deposited some money in its folds, and was goon mounted and on his way through the woods.

THE ICELANDERS IN NO¥A SCOTIA. | (From the Halifax Chronic!)

Newspaper readers are aware that during the past year or two there has been a con- siderable stream of emigration from Ice- land to America, partly on account of the Icelanders’ dissatisfaction with their con- dition under Danish rule, and partly owing to the yolcanic eruptions which destroyed a large part of their country, and our papers have announced, from time to time the arrival of small parties of these people, in Nova Scotia; but probably there are few who know what has been the extent of Icelandic emigration to our province and | what has been done for the new settlers. The first Icelanders, a party of eight, came here late Inst fail, under the direction of | Mr? Anderson, a very intelligent native of | Iceland who had previousiy accompanied parties of his countrymen to other sections of the continent. A winter's stay here gave the new comers a very favorable impression of our country, and they sent good reports of Nova Scotia to their friends in Ontario andathome. Last spring Mr. Anderson returned to Iceland, travelled over the greater part of the Island, and gave to in-

tending immigrants all the information they desired about Nova Scotia. He also translated a Neya Scotia immigration

pamphlet into the Icelandic language, and had it printed and circulated. On his res turn to Nova Scotia he brought a small party of immigrants with him. Meanwhile a number of Icelanders who had gone to Ontario became dissatisfied with their con- dition there and came to join their country- men in this province, Our Icelandic popu- lation now numbers about 150, The ma- jority are called the ‘Icelandic colony,’ at Musquobodit, where they are building up a settlement of their own in what has hitherto been a wilderness. The Local Government has had a tract of land laid off in hundred acre blocks, including one

shelter this body of the settlers, but few of them need it. They found employment in the service of residents of the locality, and went to work with a will. Mr. Anderson intends going back to Iceland in the spring, and expects to bring out about 500 im- migrants next summer. He has travelled extensively through the Dominion and United States, and is satisfied that his people will do better in Nova Scotia than in any other part of the continent. Born and nurtured by the sea and accustomed to spend part of their time in fishing, they do net find a congenial clime in Ontario or the United States. They are a hardy, ins dustrious and thrifty race, and the most valuable class of immigrants that could be introduced into our provinee

Tuesday, the 5th inst., decamped very suddenly, being indebted to Mr. Reid $15 for board, and picked the poekets of one | Alexander McDonald's clothes, while hang- ing in his room, to the amount of #15, also taking some valuable papers. He also stoie a pair of new boots from Mr, Reid’s brother in-law. He eame from St. John to Albion mines, and last winter lived at Tatamagouche, at whieh place it is reported he stole a horse.. He is supposed to be in P.

The settlement extending from the farm of Hon. J. Wightman, atSt. Andrew's !oint, to Montague Bridge is one of the finest in King’s County. We often heard persons contrast, (to our prejudice)

things as the people of Montague, the com

parison would not be odious as far as we

are concerned. Their hovses and out building are generally white and par- ticularly clean and trim looking, Ornas mental trees, flowers and evergreens grow around. With a beautiful winding rive: in the rear, and these artificial attractions in front, the homesteads of Montague have a peculiarly pleasing effect upon a stranger, Dut the effect is not all! The character of men and women is

generally, clearly marked on their su
