Then there was |! supper to be got ready, and Hetty must be |‘ continually in the way to give help. Adam stayed till he knew Mrs. Poyser expected him to go, engaging her and her husband in talk as constantly as he could, for the take of leaving Hetty more at ease. He lingered, ;because he wanted to see her safely through thet evening, and he was delighted to see how much self-command she showed. He knew she had not had time to read the letter, but’ he did not know she was buoyed up by a secret hope that the letter would contradict every- |‘ thing he had said. It was hard work for|! him to leave her—hard to think that he|* should not know for days how she/§ was bearing her trouble. But he must go at last, and all he could do was to press her hand gently as he said, | © ‘Good bye,’ and hope she would take that |? as a sign that if his love could ever be a re- fuge for her, it was there the same as ever. How busy his thoughts were, as he walked home, in devising pitying excuses for her folly; in uttering all her weakness to the sweet lovelingness of her nature; in blam-|) ing Arthur, with less and less inclination to admit that his conduet might be extenuat- ed too!

That was the recognized winter route up to the year 1828. Capes route safer and more expeditious, and therefore changed the mails to Cape Tra- verse. However, for several seasons after- wards, mails were sent by Wood Islands, but after the loss of many valuable lives that route was abandoned.” The Government then found the Now, Sir, far be it from me,or any of the people of Wood Islander, to cast any reflec- tions on the brave and gallant officers and crews of the iceboats at the Capes, but nstead thereof they have our heartfelt ympaihies, not only in the late but in their everal disasters on the Capes’ route. But whatever the reasons were for chang- ing the mail route from Wood Islands to he Capes, it could not have been fer that eason, as there never was any life or limb lost in the Wood Islands route by any of the couriers or their passengers, carrying mails over the ice in the season in which ii devolved upon them. Again the interviewer queried: ‘‘ Do ou remember any particulars of the disas- **) have Judge Peters, I think, oute to the mainland. The weather was ormy, and the craft on the route did not ppeat seaworthy. The Judge returned physically. ed friend who had wrought this misery. Adam was a clear-sighted, fair-minded man —a fine fellow indeed, morally as well as But if Avistides the Just was ever in love and jealous, he was at that moment not perfecily magnanimous. I cannot pretend that Adam, in these pain ful days, felt nothing but righteous indig- nation and loving pity. jealous; and in proportion es his love made him indulgent in his judgment of Hetty, And He was bitterly ‘was @ rare impulse in him, much as the the bitterness found a vent in his feeling toward Arihur. ‘Her head was allays likely to be turned,’ he thought, ‘when a gentleman, with his|{t fine manners and fine clothes, and his white hands, and that way o’ talking gentlefolks|¢ bave, came about her, making up to her in a bold way, as @ man couldn’t do that was only her equal ; and it’s much if she'll ever like a common man now.’ He could not help drawing his own hands out of his pocket and looking at them—at the hard palms and broken finger nails. ‘I’m a roughish fellow, altogether ; I don’t know, now I come to think on’t, what there is much for a woman to like about me; and yet I might ha’ got another wife easy enough, if I hadn’t set my heart on her. But it’s little matter what other women think about me, if she can’t love me.

And yet there’ no telling—she may turn round the other way, when she finds he’s made light of her all the while. She may come to feel the vally of a man as ‘ud be thank- ‘ } ful to be bound to her ali his life. But I must put up with it whichever vay it is—I’ve only to be thankful it's been no worse; I'm not th’ only wan that’s got to do without much happi-|! ness i’ this life.

Since as I’ve been spared that, I've no right togrumble. Whenawman’s got his|‘ limbs whole he can bear a smart cut or two.’ As Adam was getting over a stile at this point ia his reflections, he perceived a man walking along the field before him. He knew it was Seth, returning from an even- ing preaching, and made haste to overtake him. ‘I thought thee’dst be at home before me,’ he said, as Seth turned round to wait for him, ‘for I’m later than usual to-night.’ ‘Well, I'm later too, for I got into talk, after meeting, with John Barnes, who has lately expressed himself in a state of per- fection, and I’d a question to ask him about his experience It’s one o’ them subjects! that lead you further than y’ expect—they don’t lie along the straight road.’ two orthree minutes, Adam was not in-| clined to enter into the subtleties of reli-/ i troubles. gious experience, but he was inclined to affection and confidence with Seth, ‘hat, brothers loved each other brother-in-law, Scotia, some parties who engaged them to send bat Cariboo It's God’s such will, and that’s enongh for us; we should nt) this for Pictou Island, arrived evening. and remained over night.

But let it be These unfortunates were not Bat it was not ‘Pictou Island they left for Woodville, for Wood Islands.” And ater, that “‘Capt. William Welsh, Esq., Hou, Daniel Davies and Hon. J.
