THE LAND -JOBBER.
intermediate Chapter by J. W. D.
Moodie.)
Q after scratching his heed,
and considering for a few minutes
told me that he knew a farm which
he could sell me for that price, par-
ticularly as he wished -to get rid of
IV set of Yankee rascals who prevent-
ed emigrants from settling in that
neigh bot hoed. We afterwards found
that there was but too good reason
for the character he gave of some of
our neighbors. -
held a mortgage for $150
on a farm belongene to a certain
Yankee settler:, named Joe 11
as seeurety for a debt iacur red for
goods at his store, in Cobourg. The
idea instantly struck Q— that he
would comPel Joe II to sell
him his farm, by threatening to fore-
close the mortgage. I drove out
with Q next day te see the farra
in question - It was. situated in e
pretty retied valley,,surrounded by
•bille,about eight rriilee' from Cobourg;
and about, a mile from the great
road leading to Toronto. There Was
an extensive orchard upon the farm,
and two log houses, and a large
frame barn: A censidelable portion
of the cleared land was light and
sandy; and the uncleared part of the
farm, situated on the flat, rocky
snintnit of a high hill, was reserved
for a sugar bush-, and for supplying
fuel. On the whole, I. was pleased
with the farra, Which was certainly
cheap at the price of £300 ; and I
therefore at once closed the bargain
with Mr. Q .
At that time I had not -the slight-
est idea but that the farm actually
belonged to the land -jobber ; and I
am, to this da, 'unable to 'tell by
what- means he succeeded in getting
11 to part with his pro-
perty. -
The -father of "Joe El— had
Cleared!. the farm, and while the soil
was new, it gave good crops.; but as
the rich surface, or black muck, as
it is called, became exhausted by
continuel cropping, nothing but a
poor, meagre soil remained.
The early settler's were wretched
farmers ; they never ploughed deep
enough; and never thought of mad-
uring the land; After working the
landforsevered years, they would
let it lie waste for three oafour years
without sowing grass -seeds and then
1.4ough it up again for wheat. The
greater part o°:f the hay raised en
t these farms was sold in t110: towns
and the cattle wee fedduring the
long severe, wint+ on wheat -straw.
The natural resellof this poor minr-
isliment was, diet their .cattle con-
tinual 1 y degenerated . and great n
bars died every spring of a disease
called the hollow horn, which ap-
pears to be peculiar to this country.
When the lands became Sterile, from
this exhausting treatment, they were
called worn-out farms; and the own-
ers generally sold them to new set-
tlers from the olcl country, and with
the money they received, bought a
larger quantity of wild lands, to pro-
vide for their sons; by whom the
same improvident 'process: was 'Com-
menced.
These erly settlers were, in fact,
only fit for pioneers to. a more thrif-
ty class of settlers.
Joe 11 or Uncle Joe, as the
country people Call any acquaint-
aaee, after a fashion borrowed; no
doubt, from the Dutch settlers of the
State of New York, was, neither by.
his -habits nor industry, likely to
become more prosperous ttian his
neighbors of the SaILe thouglitless
class, His father 11 ad worked bard
in his time, and Uncle Joe thought
he had a goad right to enjoy •him-
self-. The aearest village was only
five miles from his place., and he was
never without same excuse for go-
ing thither every two or three days.
His hoase wanted stiocilig, or his-
plerigh or wagon wanted to .be fiattd
by the blaeksni ith or carperrtent As
a -matter of course, he earne home
pretty high ;• for he was ilithe con-
stant habit of pouring ahalf tumbler
of whiskey down his throat, stand-
ing bolt upright at the bar of the
tavern, efter which he would drink
nbut he same quantity of cold watea-
to wash it down. These habits., to-
gether Nvith bad farmingand a lazv,

made Joe se poor as he could desire
to be; and at last he was compelled
to sell his farm to Mr. Q
After we had pot settled down e
this farm, I had often occasio to
drive iuto Coitourg, tor the pt pose
of buying groceries and othe neces-
eeries, as we thee thought them, at
the store. of Mr. Q---- On these

B—, an E g isle fanner of the
true yeoman 14€ d. Ile was a short-,
leggedelong-b di d, corpulent little
man. He wore a brown coat, with
ample skirts, end a vast expanse of
vest, with dra -c hired small clothes
and gaiters. • .was a jolly,
good-natured 1 o -ing men, with an
easy, blunt Ma ner which 'night
easily pass for 1) nesty. ,
" Q- ' had old aim a lot of wild
laud in some out-of-the-way town-
ship, by. maki g Mr. Be-- believe
that he could el it again very soon,
with a handsoM profit. '1 Of course
his bargain wi4 ir ot e good one. He
soon found from his situatian that
the land was gni e unsaleable, there
_being no settl m tnts in the neigh-
borhood. Int, e d of expressing any
resentment, be Lirly acknowledged
that Q— wais is master at a bar-
gain, and gave iim full credit- for

lyre� vtel in his own mind toprofit
ley the lesson 'he had received.
Now, with all their nateral acute-
ess and habitual dexterity in such
atters, the Crnadians have one
eak. point; they are too ready to
elieve that Englishmen are made of
oney. All that an emigrant has
t do to acquire the reputation of
having money, to seem quite
easy, and free from care or anxiety
f r Vie future, and to maintain a,
c rtain degree of reserve in talking,
f his private affairs. Mr % B—
erfectly understood how to play his
cards with the land jobber; and his
fat, jolly physiognomyt and rustic,
Provincial manners and accent,
greatly assisted him in the decep-
tioEvery day Q---- drove him out
to look at different farms. B
talked carelessly of buying some
large block of lend, thatwould cost
him. some £3,000 or £4,000, pro-
viding he uould only find the kind
of soil be particularly liked for farm-
ing purposes. AS he seemed to be
in no hurry in making I is selection,
delermined to m ke ban use-
ful, in the mean time, i promoting
his views with respec to others.
He therefore puffed Mi. B up
tar everybody as a Nod° k farmer of
large capital, and alway.$ appealed to
him to COD anti the c mracter he
gave of any farm he wished to. sell
to a new comer. 13--, on his
side, was not slow in playing into
Q—'s hand on these occasions,
and without' being at a,11 suspected
of collusion.
In the evening Mr. B would
walk into the public Torm of the
tavern, apparently fatigued with his
exertions through the day; fling
himself carelessly OD a sofa, and un-
button his gaiters and the knees ef
his small -clothes. He took little
not;ce of anybody auless he was
spoken to, and his demeanor seemed
to say, as plainly as words, "1 care
for nobody, nobody cares far me."
This was just the kind of man foi
Q—. He instantly Saw that he
would be an invaluaVe ally and
coadjutor-, without seeming to be so.
When B— made hie appearance
i
in the evening, Q ' was seldom
at the tavern, for his time had not
yet come. In the meanwhile, B—
was sure to be drawn gradually into
conversation by some emigrants,
who, seeing diet he -was a practical
fernier, wuuld be desiroes of getting
his opinion respecting certain farms
which they thought. of purchasing.
There was such an appearance of
blunt simplicity of character abeut
him, that most of these inquirers
thought he was forgett*ghis own
interests in telling- tlier4 so much as
he did. In the course of conversa-
tion, he would mentiOn Several farms
he had been looking itt with the in-
tention of purchasing, and he wotdd
particularly mention some one of
them as possessing eXttraordinary- ad-
vantages, but which , had some one
disadvantage which rendered itin-
eligible for him; such as being too
small, a circumstance which, in all
probability, would recoMmend it to
another description of settler.
It is hard to s4y whether Q
was or was not deceived by 13 ;
but though he usedla-i%1 at present
.as a decoy, lie no doubt expected.
ultimately to sell him some of his
farms, with a very handsome profit.
B --t, however, whose means were
probably extremely small-, fought
shy of buying; and aft r looking -at
a number of farms, hd told Q—
that. OD mature reflectio he thought
he could employ his apital more
profitably by renting a nuthber of
farms, and working them in the
English manner, which he felt. 'cer-
tain woulkt answer admirable in
Canada, instead of sinking his capi-
tal at once in the purchase of lands.
Q was fairly caught; and B
hired some six or seven farms from
him, which he worked for some
time, no doubt greatly to his own
disadvantage, for he ieither paid
rent nor waees. ,
,
Occasionarily other land 'specula-
tors would drop into the tavern,
when a curious game would be play -
‘ed between Q-- and them. One
of the speculators would ask another
if be did not own some land in a
particular part of the country, as he
had bought some lots in the same
quarter, without seeing them, and
would like to know if they were
good. The other would, answer in
the affirmative, and pretend to de-
sire to purchase the Jots mentioned.
The former, in his turn, would pre-
tend reluctance, and make a similar
offer of buying. All his cunning
manceuvering would Ie continued
for a time, ill the hope of inducing
seine third party or stranger to make
an offer for Idle land, Which would
:
be accepted. It ofte1 happened
that some other perso3, who lead
hitherto taken no part in the course
of these
peared
iiir ti
the
ouversations, and who ap-
have no persanal interest
matter, would qnietly inform
ran 'et- that be knew the land
in quehn, and that it was all of
the ver* best quality.
