CHAPTER XXI.

(Continued, )

‘Nonsense ! It’s the silliest lie a sensible man like you ever believed, to say a woman makes a house comfortable. It’s a story got up, because the women are there, and

} something must be found for ’em to do.

| that needs to be done at all but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it’s bearing children, and they do that in a poor | make-shift way; it ha’ better ha’ been left (tothe men. [ tell you a woman ‘ull bake | you a pie every week of her life, and never

jcome to see that the hotter th’ oven the |

shorter the time. I tell you a woman ‘ull make your porridge every day for twenty years, and never think of measuring the proportion between the meal and the milk —a little more or less, she’ll think doesn’t signify ; the porridge will be awk’ard now

And as for cleanliness, | iny house is cleaner than any other house | on the Common, though the half of them swarm with women. Will Baker’s lad comes to help me in a morniug, and we get as much cleaning done in one hour without any fuss as a woman ‘ud get done in three, and all the while be sending buckets o | water after your ankles, and let the fender and the fire irons stand in the middle o' the floor hali the day fur you to break your shins against ‘em. Don’t tell me about God having made such creature to be com- panions for us! I don’t say but he might make Eve to be a companion to Adam in Paradise ; there was no cooking to be spoil- ed there, and no other woman to cackle with and make mischief ,though you see what wischiet, she did as soon as she’d an oppor-

toa man now; you mght as well say adders, and wasps, and iogs, and wild beasts are a blessing, when they're only the evils that belong to this state o’ probation, which it’s lawful for a man to keep as clear of as he can in this life, hoping to get quit of ’em forever in another.’

Bartle had become so excited and angry in the course of his invective that he had forgotten his supper, and only used the knife for the purpose of rapping the table with the haft. But toward the close the raps became so sharp and frequent, and his voice su quarrelsome, that Vixen felt it in- cumbent on her to jump out of the hamper and bark vaguely.

‘Quiet, Vixen,’ suarled Bartle, turning round upon her. ‘ You're like the rest o’

the women—always putting in your word before you know why.’

Vixen returned to her hamper again in humiliation, and her master continued his supper in a silence which Adam did not choose to interrupt; he knew the old man would be in a better humor when he had had his supper and lighted his pipe. Adam was used to hear him talk in this way, but

had never learned so much of Bartle’s past life as to know whether his view of married comfort was founded on ex-

perience. On that point Bartle was mute; and it was even a secret where he had lived previous to the twenty years in which, happily for the peasants and artizans of this neighborhood, he had been settled

lf anything like a question was ventured on this subject, Bartle always replied, ‘Oh, I have seen many places—Il've been a deal n the south,’ and the Loamshire men would as soon have thought of asking for a particular town cr village in Africa -as in the ‘ south.’

‘Now then, my boy,’ said Bartle, at last, when he had poured out his second mug of ale and lighted his pipe—‘ now, then, we'll have a little talk. But tell me first, have you heard any particular news to-day?’

‘No,’ said Adam, ‘not as | remember.’

‘Ah ! theyll keep it close, they'll keep it close, I dare say. But I found it out by chance ; and it’s news that may concern jyou, Adam, else I’m a man _ that don’t know a superficial square foot from a solid.’

Here Bartle gave a series of fierce and rapid puffs, looking earnestly the while at Adam. Your impatient loquacious man has never any notion of keeping his pipe

It was pretty well talked over, I can tell yon, at Carson’s, and one and another had their fling at you; for if doukeys set to work to ing, you're pretty sure what the tune ‘Il be.’

‘ Why, did they talk it over before Mr Barge?’ said Adam. ‘ or wasn’t he there vo’ Saturday?

‘Oh, he went away before Carrol came; and Casson—-he’s always for setting other folks right, you know—would have it Burge was the man to have the management of the woods. ‘A substantial man,’ says he, ‘with pretty near sixty years’ experience o’ timber; it ’ud be ali very weil for Adam Bede to act under him, but it isn’t to be Supposed the Squire ’d appoint a young fel- 'low like Adam, when there’s his elders and jbettere at hand? But I said, ‘ That’s a pretty notion o’ yours, Casson. W hy, | Burge is the man to buy timber; would you put the woods into his hands, and let him make his own bargains!

How to Get a Drink in Maine.

A correspondent of the Cincinatti Hn quirer is investigating the working of pro- hibition in Maine. He finds that liquor is to be had in that State the same as else where, except that it is of a poorer quality, costs a little more, and is somewhat more difficult to obtain. He stopped ata hotel

in Portland, and on _ enquiring for the bar was shown oo. -s room where a man stood behind the counter and another in front of i.

There were glasses in sight but no bottles. The correspondent calls for whiskey, and the man in front of the bar took a bottle from his capacious »vercoat pocket, from which the drinks were poured and which was immediately returned to its custodian. The liquor was villainous stuff, consisting only of colored and flavored alcohe! com- pounded on the premises, and was sold at 25 cents a glass. in Augusta, the cor respondent enquired at an hotel for a drink and was shown to a furnished room, where he was presently joined by a waiter who hore a bottle and glass. Aiter helping himself the traveller returned to the office and offered to pay for the drink. He was told that the use of the room was worth twenty-five cents, The liquor was free. In his journeys about the State the newspaper man found numerous drunken men on the streets, and was everywhere assured that liquor, such as it was, could be had very easily by anybody that knew the ropes. His own observations led him to believe that. while much so-called liquor is exposed for sale, it ig the most abominable poison, destructive of health, and almost certain to promote crime and misery even if indulged in with moderation

The Locomotion of Shells.

The great couch or strombua, has a veri- table sword that it thrusts cut, sticks into the ground, and by a muscular effort jerks itself along, making a decided leap. The squids, that are the brightest forms of molusks, leap entirely clear of the water, often several feet. They are the ink-bear- ers, and from their ink-bags comes the sepia used by artists, while their bone is the cuttle-fish bone of commerce. Many of the have a method of flying through the water that is quite novel. They are generally beautifully colored, and have long, stream- ing tentacles, and suddenly without warn- ing, they dart up from the bottom, and by a violent opening and shutting of their valves rush away with their long, reddish hair streaming after them,presenting a very curious appearance. The shell known as the Lima Nians is particularly remarkable for these flights, and all the scallops are jumpers and leapers. When placed in a boat they have been known to leap out, and the ordinary scallop has been known to jump out of a pot when placed upon a stove. A description of the different methods by which shells move would fill a volume.

‘Satchell’s got a paralytic stroke. I found it out from the lad they sent to Treddleston for the doctor, before seven o’clock this morning. He’s a good wa beyond sixty, you know; it’s much if he | ever gets over it.’ | ‘Well,’ said Adam, ‘I dare say there'd |be more rejoicing than sorrow. in the parish at his being laid up. He's ‘been a selfish, tale-bearing, mischievous fellow; but, after all, there’s nobody he’s

done so much harm to as to th’ old Squire. |

| Though it’s the Squire himself as is to blame—making a stupid fellow like that a sort o’ man-of-all-work, just to save th’ ex- , pense of having a proper man to lock after | th’ estate. And he’s lost more by ill-man- agement of the woods, ['ll be bound, than ud pay fortwo stewards. If he’s laid on he shelf it’s to be hoped he’ll make way for ‘a better man; but I don’t see how it’s to make any difference to me.’

‘But I see it, but I see it,’ said Bartle, ‘and others besides me. The Captain's coming of age now—you know that as well as | do—and it’s to be expected he'll havea little more voice in things. And I know, and you know too, what ‘ud be the Wap- tain’s wish about the woods, if there was a fair opportunity for making a change. He's said in plenty of people’s hearing that he’d _make you manager of the woods to-morrow

if he'd the puwer. Why, Carrol, Mr.

| Another fine specimen of a Roman pave

iment has been unearthed at Bridewell 'Lane, Bath, England, in the course of some jexcavating work. The pattern is composed |of octagons two feet seven inches each way, \the intermediate being filled in with ‘squares, It the centre of each octagon isa double quarterfoil with a circle in the centre, ‘and at each end are pointed leaves. The tesserze are small, from half three- quarters of an inch square, and the colors used are red, white, blue and black. On one side of the pavement is a broad margin made of Roman tiles, about six inches by one and a half inches each, laid herring- bone fashion.
