| CHAPTER XLIY, (¢ ‘ontinued. }

}

Many wen would have retained 'a feeling of vindictiveness toward Adam; ibut he would not — he would reso-

for he had certainly been very much in the wrong; and though Adam had been harsh ‘and violent, and had thrust on him a pain- ful dilemma, the poor fellow was in love, and had real provocaiion. No; Arthur had not an evil feeling in his mind toward any human being; he was happy, and would make everybody else happy that came within his reach.

Aud here was dear old Hayslope at last, sleeping on the hill, like a quiet old place as it was, in the late afiernoon sunlight; and opposite to it the great shoulders of the Binton Hills, below them the purplish blackness of the hanging woods, and, at last, the pale front of the Abbey, looking out from among the oaks of the chase, as if anxious for the heir’sreturn. ‘ Poor grand- father! and he lies dead there. He was a young fellow once, coming into the estate, and making his plans. So the world goes round! Aunt Lydia must feel very deso- late, poor thing; but she shall be indulged as much as she indulges her fat Fido.’

The wheels ef Arthur’s chase had been anxiously listened for at the Chase, for to- day was Friday, and the funeral had already been deferred two‘days. Before it drew up on the grave! of the court-yard, all the servants in the house were assembled to receive him witha grave, decent welcome, befitting a house of death. A month ago, perhaps, it would have been diflicult for them to have maintained a suitable sadness in their faces when Mr. Arthur was come to take possession; but the hearts of the head-servanis were heavy that day for another cause than the death of the old Squire, and more than one of them was longing to be twenty miles away, as Mr, Craig was, knowing what was to be- come of Hetty Sorrel—pretty He'ty Serrel whom they used to see every week. They had the partizanship of household servants who like their places, and were not inclined to go the full length of the severe indigna- tion felt against him by the farming tenants, but rather to make excuses for him; nevertheless, the upper servants, who had been on terms of neighborly intercourse with the Poysers for many years, could not help feeling that the longed for event of the young Squire’s coming into the estate had been robbed of all its pleasantuess.

To Arthur it was nothing surprising that the servants looked grave and sad; he him- self was very much touched on seeing them all again, and feeling that he was in a new relation to them, It was that sort of pathetic emotion which has more pleasure than pain in it, which is, perhaps, one of the most delicious of all states to a good natured man, conscious of the power to satisfy his good nature. His heart swelled agreeably as he said,

‘Well, Mills, how is my aunt ?’

But now ‘r. Bygate, the lawyer, who had been in the house ever singe the death, came forward to give deferential greetings and answer all ques- tions, and Arthur walked with him ‘¢oward the library, where his aunt Lydia was ex- pecting him. Annt Lydia was the only person in the house who knew nothing about Hetty; her sorrow as a maiden daughter was unmixed with any other thoughts than those of anxiety about funeral arrangements and her own future lot; and after the manner of ‘women, she mourned for the father who had made her life important, all the more because she had a secret sense that there was little mourn- ing for him in other hearts.

Bat Arthur kissed her tearful face more tenderly than he bad ever done in his life before.

‘Dear aunt,’ he said, affectionately, as he held her aunt, your logs is the greatest of all, but you must tell me how to try and make it up to you all the rest of your life.’

‘it was so sudden and dreadful, Arthur,’ poor Miss Lydia began, pouring out her little plaints; and Arthur sat down to listen with impatient patience. When a pause came, he said,

‘Now aunt, I'll leave you for a quarter of an hour, just to go to my own room, and then I shall come and give full attention to everything.’

‘My room is all ready for me, I suppose, Mills,’ he said to the old butler, who seemed to be lingering uneasily about the entrance-hall,

‘Yes, sir, and there are letters for you ; they are all laid on the writing-table in your dressing-room.’

On entering the small ante-room, which was called a dressing-room, but which Arthur really used only to lounge and write in, he cast his eyes on the writing-table, and aaw that there were several letters and packets lying there; but he was in the un comfortable, dusty condition of a man who has had a long, hurried journey, and he must really refresh himself by attending to his toilet a little before he read his letters. Pym was there, making everything ready for him; and soon, with a delightful fresh- ness about him, asif he were prepared to begin a new day, he went back into his dressing-room to open his letters, The level rays of the low afternoon sun _ beat directly at the window, and, as Arthur seated himself in his velvet chair,with their pleasant warmth upon him, he was consci- ous of that quiet well-being which, perhaps,

when in our brightest youth and health, life has opened on a new vista for us, and long to-morrows of activity have stretched before us like a lovely plain, which there was no need for hurrying to look at,because it was all our own.

‘With the Expenditures

in the Previous Six Years.

(Speech in the House of Assembly on a motion respecting Suvply.) | CONCLUDED. |

SAVING IN EXPENSE OF EXECUTIVE COUNCIL.

There are some portions of every Gov- ernment’s expenditure which are not con- trollable, but there are other expenditures that are directly under the control of the Executive. Such is the expenditure for the Executiue Council, which is largely made up of amounts paid members of the Government for mileage, &c. The follow- ing statement shows how the present ad- ministration have saved the people’s money in this respect :—

SAVING IN COST OF LEGISLATION,

In Legislation the same system of econo- my had been inaugurated, although, owing to the action of the Opposition in the Legis- lative Council, as much had not been saved as the Government had hoped. The follow- ing statement shows, however, that even with the additional expense of an unneces- sary Legislative Council, $25,124.14 had been saved during the last six years :—

Difference in favor of present Govern- ment, $25,124.14.

IMPROVED MANAGEMENT OF STOCK FARM,

The Stock Farm also afforded a strong evidence of the good management of the present administration. Dividing as be- fore, the 12 years since Confederation, into two equal periods, we have the following comparisons :

RECEIPTS FROM THE LAND OFFICE.

Oh ! but we are told the present Govern- ment have received large sums from the Land Office. Well, let a comparison for the two periods referred to be made in this respect also :

Davies administration than they have been since, NO DIRECT TAXATION,

No direct taxation had been imposed on the people of this Province for three years. The total amount of taxes collected for the last six years was about the same as the amount which the old Land Assessment would have yielded had it been in force. Dividing the twelve years since Confedera- \tion as before into two periods, we have the following comparison :

| PREVIOUS GOVERNMENTS,

| 1873 : : . $14,300.51

| 1874 - . 14,992.53

| 1875 . . 14,592.21

$88, 976.25

It will thus be seen that the present ad- ministration have raised $66,266.07 less revenue by taxation during the six years they have been in power, than their pre- decessors did for a similar period of time.

DRAWING ON CAPITAL.

Honorable gentlemen in opposition have asserted that the present Government have withdrawn large sums from our capital at OVitawa. Nothing could be more incorrect than this. Not one dollar has been drawn y the present Government from amounis to our credit as capital at Ottawa except in the purchase of proprietory estates,the pay- ment of expenses in connection with the Land Purchase Act, and in settlement of old claims fer railway dameger. The Government has, however, succeeded in collecting considerable sums from the Dominion on account of expenditure on piers and the maintenance of short term prisoners. These amounts were not obtained from capital. They “were secured owing to the good management of the Govera- ment, and in most cases in epite of the Opposition who had not the brains to see that we were entitled to the money. CONTRACTS WITHOUT TENDER. The. hon. gentleman for West River had endeavored to make a great ado because the present Government had let some small contracts without tender, notwithstanding that the present administration had Jet fewer contracts in that manner than any previous one, and had adopted the tender system for almost every contract that they enter into. It ill became the hon. member for West. River to make reference to any thing of this kind. Has he forgotten the transactions of the last two or three months during which he was a member of the ‘‘rump ” of the Davies Government ! Has he forgotten the register grates that were sold to the Government by the firm of whieh the Provincial Secretary of that day was amember! This gentleman sold $800 worth of those grates, under the name of another firm, to the Government of which both he and the hon. member for West River were members. The hon. member had referred to some accounts for hardware that had heen procured without tender; and yet he knew that these small articles are constantly required, and could not be bought in any other way than the one that has been adopted by the Hon. Commis- sioner of Public Worke. UNREASONABLE REQUESTS SITION. The course the Opposition had adopted was a@ most extraordinary one. They allowed nearly three weeks to pass after the House had met, and then on the 27th of March they came down from their caucns room, where they had received instructions from outsiders, and filled up the order book with questions asking for returns, which would keep all the clerks in the building busy for mouths in order to prepare them. Such questions as had been asked by his hon. colleague were never before placed on the order book. Mr. Beer said the statement he wanted could not be asked for any sooner, as two or three weeks had elapsed after the meet- ing of the Legislature before the Public Accounts had been tabled. Hox. Mr. Fereuson said his hon. colleague was not correct in his statement. Every hon. member knew that the Public Accounts were laid on the table of the House earlier in the session than they had ever been before. The Opposition had delayed asking these questions until nearly three weeks had passed in order, no doubt, that it would be impossible for the Govern- ment to have these statements prepared before the end of the session, and then give them something to complain of. The state- ments asked for are, many of them, se rtdiculous, involving so much labor, and of so volumnous a nature, that it was im- possible to have them prepared up to the present time. . TOLLS ON THE PIERS,

The hon. member for West River is very much exercised in his mind in refer-
