The wee Loose was scrupulously neat; the man, quite evidently, the finest typo of Scottish' cottar; the mother, a sweet-faced genne and rosy-cheeked woman from whom Hamish had inherited those steady gray eyes so full of dreams.And the children\u2014what gorgeous specimens of sturdy Scottish childhood! The Canadian Emigration Lady THE Canadian emigration lady stayed for tea \u2014such crisp oat cakes spread with homemade butter and jam\u2014and, because that subject filled her heart, she talked of Canada, of Its future, of Us rare opportunities for the British-born.She told of the splendid village schools in the west, of the health service given by the provincial government to little Canadian citizens in the making, that they might grow f4p with strong bodies, fit temples for their Rule pioneering souls.She told of the agricultural colleges .where so many .sons of emigrating tanners have worked their way through college, and have made outstanding farmers of the finest type.Aye\u2014and she \u2019old of distinguished men end empire builders in Canada to-day wno had come as emigrant lads to Canada, not so many years ago.She said to Hamish\u2019s father: \u201cIt\u2019s not pioneer ing In the sense that It once was\u2014there are greater comforts\u2014but its hard work, sometimes discouraging work, and it takes a lot of courage and bull-dog grit to carry on, sometimes.A man of middle age car\u2019t look forward to ric!>es \u2014not with eight little children to support-just to a simple home of his own, hard work, and enough money to feed and clothe his children.\u201cBut for the children,\u201d she told him, \u201cthere are opportunities }n the years to come which are unknown in this couptiy.Whed your laddies have reached middle age, they will not be where you are to-day\u2014where your father was before you\u2014with no money in the bank, with nothing but an old age pension to look forward to, in your declining years.\u201d Now Hamish\u2019s father was not what we would call a chatty soul, but he could do no less than ask a few polite questions here and there, when the enthusiastic emigration lady paused for breath, and he learned that the Canadian government was providing farms at reasonable cost and with suitable buildings, to he paid for in twenty-five equal annual instalments with interest at five per cent.; the first payment to be made at the end of the second season.And he learned that the British government had agreed to furnish funds on the same repayment plan for live stock and equipment\u2014 the maximum £500.Hamish's father learned that, after the family was placed on the chosen farm, the grown-ups of the family, with the exception of the mother, must gain Canadian farming experience by accepting employment on farms in the vicinity, for a year, while the mother cared for the little children, the chickens and cows, and garden on the home farm.And Hamish\u2019s father learned that the Canadian government wouldn\u2019t have him and his family at any price, unless their agent spoke highly of his industry, thrift, physical, mental, and moral fitness to be a worthy citizen of Canada.Now, Hamish\u2019s father, as you know, read the Edinburgh Scotsman, and he knew of men, now distinguished Canadians, who had gone to Canada with their families ins little lads, aud had found and y rasper.1 opportunltle» impossible la Scotiacrt.He kart read of a certain cabinet minister of the dr,m\u2019clcu\u2014minister of colonization and immigraUt\u2019i;\u2014the Hon.îtot-ert Fonte, wfco had been a bumble Serai!*# lack Hamish's father «às no fool.He knew that such cases are necessarily exceptional, but c« knew also that, if one laddie could do so graundiy, others could, at least, make prosperous and dignified places for themselves as thrifty Scottish-Canadian fanners.He thought of his own life of thrift and toll\u2014with nothing to show for it but the barest living for himself and his bairns.And his father\u2019s life had been just like his.Chance or Destiny?THE emigration lady left the cottage, ana Hamish's father had said nothin?about maybe emigrating «tier all, and there was paio and disappointment in the gray eyes of Hamish.But the seed had been planted.The Scot is not an impulsive man on bis native heath, and the hard-working feyther o Hamish spent many a month of deep thought, aud.nae rioot, prayer, as he toiled In the fb Ids or sat by tbe peat fire in the cottage in the evening, with hU little brood of Scots about him.Then, the émigra-tion offices received a letter from the self-same cottage\u2014but this time it was the \"lieaii o\u2019 ttoe boose\u201d who wrote.Yesterday, with some of the emigration officials at Glasgow, i boarded the Metagama, and sailed as far as Greenock, down the Clyde, in company with some fifty families going out to Canada under th?\"assisted settlement ot approved British families scheme.\u201d It was on the deck of the ship that J heard the boy ask: \u201cAre you no glad, Mither, that ye gied me yon penny?\u201d and heard the mother\u2019s heartfelt reply: \u201cAye\u2014I\u2019m gey glad, tlamish, that 1 gied ye yon penny.\u201d I stood bestce them on the deck, and talked a bit, and mither and Hamish, with the rather-inartlcu\u2019.ate ieyther putting in a word here and there, told me the whole true story.\"Juist chance, it was,\u201d said Hamish.\"If Mither had no gien me yon penny-\u201d Chance?The penny?The fateful Scotsman spread neatly over the table, beneath the school atlas open at the map of the far-flung dominloir of Canada?\"Was it chance, or destiny?\u201d I asked Hamish\u2019s feyther.The big man smiled understandingly.\"God is guid,\" he said simply.What does the future hold for that Scottish family\u2014for Hamish of the flaming red head and the steady blue eyes?May God bless them all with the gift of happiness, prosperity, and understanding friendly, Canadian neighbors! I strolled about the ship and i talked with many a Scot, bravely starting out with his wife and family: talked with ths wives; held wee babies for their tired mothers, and had a wonderful time generally.There were modest families of four or six children, but there were several parents .with nine, ten or eleven young hopefuls to their credit.The children lauded, played and shouted about the decks.Never in my life have I seen so many flaming red heads, so many pairs of gray eyes, flecked with brown, in a sort of \u201cheather mixture.\u201d Gladness seemed to fill the air; then I began to notice that the eyes of some of tbe elders were red with weeping.(Aye\u2014auld feyther* and mithers must, he !?ft behind, alas! That their grandchildren may be given a chance in the new world.) There wore fifty girls going out to be domestic servants, neatly dressed, and rosy-cheeked, but some of them w\u2019.rh their poor little roses and eye* pathetically pink\u2014for were they not leaving behind feyther*, mithers, wee brithen and sisters\u2014and their own childhood, too?Be Neighborly, Canadians f THE only one whom I saw break down and sob like a child, as the rhip moved, out into the stream, was t man traveltni ¦ton* H* stood, l should say, about six foot two im hie socks, and he wa» * magnificent epecJmen of manhood.The lehoio shipload seemed »o vibrant with hope end tt-utag* thst he .naked Incongruous with bit streaming eye*.A ftne v*0c.Autos free.MELBOURNE Misses E.and A.Powell,of ?4ont-real, are the guests of Mr.and Mrs.T.Tompson for several weeks.Mrs.E.Maclver, who has been ill for some time, is able to be out again.Miss Jean Fisken is visiting at the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr.and Mrs.K.L.Cook, for a few days.Mr.and Mrs.Campbell and daughter, of Toronto, are the guests of Mrs.Campbell\u2019s sister, Mrs.Smith, and Mr.Smith for a few days.Mr.and Mrs.W.Desmarais spent a week-end in Montrai.Mrs.Desmarais remaining in town for a few days.Mr.and Mrs.E.Atkinson, of Toronto, and Mr.and Mrs.M.Atkinson, of New York, are the guests of Mr.and Mrs.Edwin Atkinson this week.Mrs.E.H.Stimpson, of Gore, wM a recent guest of Miss N.and Mr.F.Burpill.Mrs.S.McCourt was taken suddenly ill on Wednesday.Dr.Johnston being called, he pronounced it appendicitis and ordered her immediate removal to the Sherbrooke Hospital.Mrs.A.M.Cooke was a guest of Mr.and Mrs.W.Lyster, of Gore, for a few days recently.-\u2014«- DANVILLE Wonderful horse races at Richmond next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.Big purses.Hundred fastest trotters and pacers from Ontario, Quebec and New Engian Admission 50c.Autos free.EATON CORNER On Monday evening, July 18, a few of the many friends of Miss Sarah Dawson gathered at her home, the occasion being her birthday.She was completely taken by surprise.Miss Dawson has long been a resident of Eaton Corner and is dearly loved and respected by all her friends and neighbors.She received many gifts.Afterwards they were opened and displayed.She vehy graciously thanked each one for her kindness and gift.A delicious lunch was afterwards served by Miss Alger, Mrs.E.Hodge, Miss Abbie French and Miss Evelyn Hodge.A very pleasant evening was spent.After wishing Miss Dawson many happy returns of the day and singing \u201cFor She\u2019s a Jolly Good Fellow,\u201d the ladies dispersed for their homes.\u2014 \u2014.MARBLETON Mr.Delmar Brund-age has returned home, after spending a few days with friends at East Angus.'Mr.L.P.Bishop, of Sherbrooke, spent the week-end at his home here.Mr.ana Mrs.Malcolm Blue and Mr.and Mrs.Lawrence Scott, of Sawyerville, were recent, guests of Mr.and Mrs.Freeman Porter.'
