ADA — CHAPTER XXVIIL
| A DILEMMA,
| Ir was only a few minutes measured by the clock — though Adam always thought it
| had been a long while—before he perceived ;
a gleam cf consciousness in Arthur’s face, and a slight shiver through his frame. The intense joy that flooded his soul brought back some of the old affection with it.
‘Do you feel any pain, sir? he said, tenderly, loosening Arthur's cravat.
Arthur turned his eyes on Adam with a vague stare which gave way to a slightly startled emotion, as if from the shock of returning memory. But he only shivered again and said nothing.
‘Do you feel any hurt, sir! Adam said again, with a trembling in his voice.
Arthur put his hand upto his waistcoat buttons, and when Adam had unbuttoned it, he took a longer breath. ‘Lay my head
‘ No—no hurt,’ said Arthur, still faintly, ‘but rather done up.’
After a while he said: ‘1 suppose I fainted away when you knocked me down!’ ‘Yes, sir, thank God,’ said Adam, ‘I thought ii was worse.’
‘ What ! you thought you’d done for me, eh? Come, help me on my legs.’
‘1 feel terribly shaky and dizzy,’ Arthur said, as he stood leaning on Adam’s arm; ‘that blow of yours must have come against me like a battering-ram. I don’t believe I can walk alone.’
‘Lean on me, sir; I'll get you along,’ said Adam. ‘Or will you sit down a bit longer, on my coat here? and lil prop y’ up. You'll perhaps be better in a minute or two.?
‘No,’ said Arthur. ‘I'll go to the Her- mitage; I think I’ve got some brandy there. There’s a short road to it a little farther on, near the gate. If you'll just help me on.’
They walked slowly, with frequent pauses, but without speaking again. In both of them the concentration in the present which had attended the first moments of Arthur's revival, had now given way toa vivid recollection of the previous scene. It was nearly dark in the narrow path among the trees, but within the circle of fir-trees round the Hermitage there was room for the growing moonlight to enter in atthe windows. Their steps were noiseless in the thick carpet of fir needles, and the outward stillness seemed to heighten their inward consciousness as Arthur took the key out uf his pocket and placed it in Adam’s hand for him to open the dcor. Adam had not known before that Arthur had furnished the old Hermit- age and made it a retreat for himself, and it was a surprise to him, when he opened the door, to see asnug room with all the signs of frequent habitation.
Arthur loosed Adam’s arm and threw himself on the ottoman. ‘You'll see my hunting bottle somewhere,’ he said. ‘A leather case with a bottle and glass in it.’
Adam was not long in finding the case. ‘There's very little brandy in it, sir,’ he said, turning it downward over the glass,as he held it before the window, ‘hardly this little glassful.’
‘Well, give me that,’ said Arthur, with the peevishness of physical depression. When he had taken some sips, Adam said : ‘Hadn't [ better run to th’ house, sir, and getsomec more brandy? I can be there and back pretty sooa. It'll be astiff walk home for you, if youdon’t have something to re- vive you.’
‘Yes—go. But don’t say I’m ill. Ask for my man Pym, and tell him to get it from Mills, and not to say I’m at the Hermitage. Get some water, too.’
Adam was relieved to have an active task —both of them were relieved to be apart from each other for a short time. But Adam’s swift pace could not still the eager pain of thinking—of living again with con- centrated suffering through the last wretch- ed hour, and looking out from it over all the new, sad future.
Arthur lay still fr some minutes after Adam was gone, but presently he rose feebly from the ottoman and peered about slowly in the broken moonlight, seeking something. It was ashort bit of wax candle that s’ood among the confusion of writing and drawing materials. ‘There was more searching jor the means of lighting the candle, and when that was dene he went cautiously round the room, as if wish- ing to assure himself of the presence or absence of something. At last he had found a slight thing, which he put first in his pocket, and then, on a second thought, took out again and thrust deep down into a waste-paper basket. It was a woman's little pink neckerchief. He set the candle on the table and threw himself down on the ottoman again, exhausted with the effort.
When Adam came back with his supplies, his entrance awoke Arthur from a doze.
‘That’s right,’ Arthur said ; I’m tremen- dously in want of some brandy vigor.’
‘I’m glad to see you’ve got a light, sir,’ said Adam. ‘I’ve been thinking I'd better ‘had asked for a lantern.’
‘No, no ; the candle will last long enough —I sha!l soon be up to walking home now.’
‘I can’t go before I’ve seen you safe home, sir,’ said Adam, hesitatingly.
‘No; it will be better for you to stay — sit down.’

Past Events.
Sir,—Thinking that the events which interested our fathers in P. E. Island sixty years ago might be interesting to many of your readers now, I propose giving you a few facts gleaned from the P. E. 1. Register published in 1826. As it tends to show the great progress we have made since that time and the change that has taken place in the character aud value of our trade, I will give the table of exports as they appeared in the Register of Jan. 30, 1826 :

If any one could have told these good old people of those days that the value of the eggs and lobsters exported by their child- ren and grandchildren would be more than double their whole exportation, he would be considered a fit subject for a Lunatic Asylum, and adapgerous character. It ap- pears that our climate has not changed for the better, for on January 30th the editor says: “‘Up to the 2Ist, the fields were all bare and that Charlottetown was enveloped in clouds of dust. But it appears that on the evening of that day a violent snow storm set in,and that a Peter McIntyre lost his life while endeavoring to cross the Hillsborough, opposite Charlottetown. The announcement is made that John McGill, John Morris, William Cullen and Alex Brown are appointed Fire Wardens by His Honor, and William For- gan, Peter McGowan, Christopher Hodgson and William Stewart, Hog Reeves for the ensuing year. At that time the poor were not provided for on the voluntary prin- ciple, for a notice is inserted signed by Robert Hodgson and William Cullen that all in arrears for poor rates will be sued without distinction. The next issue, Feb. 7, is a very barren number, which the editor accounts for by stating that there has been no intercourse with the mainland for four weeks owing to floating ice in the straits. However, to make amends for lack of other news the following appears in large type: ‘‘ Theophilus Chappell, Esq., was sworn in as Justice of the Peace fcr this Island.” On Feb. 14 the editor ig, exultant, for Mr. Smith has arrived with the mails containing English letters and papers with dates as /ate as the 13th Dec. only two months old. ‘This issue contains a list of seventy-five names of parties licensed to retail spirituous liquors. It also announced that the bark Jane, Capt. Dodd, made the run from here to Plymouth in sixteen days. It seems that the Hog Reeves were attending to their duty, for, on the 21st, the prominent position is given the notice that an unfortunate individual is fined twenty shillings besides forfeiting the pig, for allowing it to run at large.
At this time the question of Catholic Emancipation occupied a good deal of attention on the Island. A resolution was introduced the previous session to give the same rights to Catholics that Protestants enjoyed, but was left over for the session of 1826. I believe that to this Island belong the honor of first moving in that matter. At any rate a great part of the Register’s space is taken up with cor- respondence on the subject. Public opinion must bave been pretty fairly divided, as the editor is very anxious to keep on the fence. He says it is all very well ina country like Great Britain for the proprietor of a paper to give his own opinion, but in a country like this where there is only one paper, the case is widely different. On March 14th, tenders is ask- ed for cutting and rounding a road from Bagnall’s to Princetown. Any person travelling through that fine section of country, opened by that road, will find it hard to realize that 58 years ago it was an unbroken forest.
On March 2ist, the celebration of St. Patrick’s day by the Benevolent Irish Society seems to have been worthy of notice. Fade Goff, Eeq , was President, and they dined and wined at the Welling- ton hotel.
About this time the pumps and weils began to trouble the citizens, for | find on the 28th a notice in the Register, calling a public meeting to have them put in proper order. The Winter River scheme dces not appear to have been befcre the citizens at that time. On April 4th the paragraph appears : “‘As we anticipated in our lest, the adjacent rivers are now clear of ice. There is none to be seen from the King’s Wharf. On April 3rd, the schooner Aurora cleared for Newfoundland with potatocs, oats and cattle.”
In the issue ef April 11th the editor says: “Tt is worthy of remark that in ove m« uth only (February) was there a total ceseation lof field labor during the winter. The months of January and March both wit- neased the plough at work.” —Oh ! for the winters of sixty years ago ° D. M.
