Jenkinta the author of " Ginx's Baby" has favored the world with another production of a similar kind, • entitled' Little Hodge." , Like itg -predecessor, Little Ilodge is a cynically pa- thetic exposition -of suffering .amon the poor -laboring class, the agricul- tural interest being the theme this time, and it is full of humor,' and sharp and biting, though occasional- ly coarse smile. Appearing at a time when the wrongs of. the agri. cultural laborers are occupying so attention in England, die pamphlet is pretty sure to attract attention, and will not fail to' have 411Iimportant effect on the issue Of the struggle. Mr. Jenkins, the au- thor, it is well known, is a, country- man of our own, and is the son of Rey. Dr. Jenkins, of Montreal. He seems to have a genuine faculty for political and social satire, and his principles savor of the Philosophico- radical kind; and he reminds one frequently, both in style and mat- ter, of Carlyle's.pungent e6ays on similar subjects Doubtless, . it is in order to gain the attention of worlclgy. and hard-hearted readers, that the author of the work under noticeis so fond of making use of babies as the groundwork of his theme. Little Hodge differs from his predecessor, Little Ginx, in be- ina, phenoinenally small piece of ua hntanity. -Ile was born in the -Union or poorhouse Ins_parents be- ing too poor to arrange otherwiae, and his mother died after giving him birth. It was a serious matter for Hodge his father, left with ten small chillren and no female, rela- tive to prOtect them, to undertake the care of his forlorn offspring. His wages are nine shillings a wee with occasionally a few extras:; but although the decent suppm t of his family was already an iMpOssible achievement, he was bound to re- lieve the parish of his child's sup- port. Great was the fuss oVer this small creature among the officials and Bard of Guardians, but it was decided to let Little Hodge,sernain in the Union, as a woman -there of- fered to nurse him' in additiOn to her own child, and it would cost th parish nothing. The ".Local, Gov ernment Board" at London, how ever, which was established to con .-- trot all local parochial boards, witl miaroscopic vigilance detects thi breach of poor las-,and Littl Hodge is sent to his father. Th latter, desperate with the fearfu prospect ot want beforehim, and -anxious above all things to "keep off the parish," makes a vain appeal to .his master, One Jolley, "gentle man farther," for a, trifling Addition to his wages, but was repulsed. He applied to the rector of the palish, but was advised to :be content with the state in. which :Prori,dence had been pleased to place him. The cu- rate had mote sympathy, but could only pity and pray for the poor fa- mily. Of this curate we have: the: following humorous portrait • "Mr. Linkboy was Of the school of newer, more enlightened,, more advanced , Ritualists. He exceeded the vicar at 1 every point. ,His coat was longer, his -waistcoat was of more cassocky pattern, his muslin cellar was nearly invisible, and hi neck was as kelig,iously dirty as that of any Catholic priest in Christen- dom, while, to cap all, he wore. overshad- owing his white face, a soft, flabby, wide 'awake hat of snob portentous dimensions, that the country folk around had dubbed him ,the black inushroon, or rather, in 6the worst circles, tviaod stool.' Mr. IpMkboy, nevertheless, worked hard and Conscientiously against the world, the flesh and the, devil. He escbiewedthe one • and mortified the other, and did battle with the third in every form of wicked- ness, from, drunkenness up to Primitive Methodism. True, he found the peopIe regarded him with aversion as a pist,' and his antics, both M and out of church; gave some ground for that sus- picion. Tlaere were many who thought him duly qualified for the Kingdom of Heaven ; in one respect he had beConie fool for the sake of it." In short, Hodge and several- of his fellow -sufferers were driven in to re- volt; and tile idea of uniting to en- force their demand § dawns on them. So they chose one Sammy Stedman to lead them and to advocate their cause. Like Mr. Arch, the moving spirit of the fie jilset0 Agricultural :Laborers' Movenaent, Sammy is a Method& local -preacher. auid in - lents a small cottage and a it of land in fee. He had studied po- lities and religion thorough] , and r was honest as the day.- The says of him : men foy resistin a drunken at k by 1nii and knoGirnig 1i down in ,aaaaara, self-defence, is sent to prison for a fortnight without the -option of a fine. Among those whose interest is excitei by the great agricultural contest is •Mr. Jehoiachin Settle, Boys' and Girls' Translation Insti- tute, Cayuga County, New York,, a tall specirnan of the Yankee, six feet three, with all the conventional char- acteristics of the race, and a real good heart under :his rugged pxteri- or. He first pays a visit to" Little Hodge," whom he enibraces and with -difficulty refrains from pur- loining. He said "if he had .him at Mount Napoleon he gueSSed he'd lengthen that young cricket'S cords and strengthen his stakes tolan all - fired extent." He then calls on the Vicar and introduces himself. He states that being 'on "a tour to 6X• amine' the institooshuns of Eu -rope, I have constitooted a committee of one for the American nation to. inform uu of the brotherly interesf. lie take in the so-lutiun of your great social problems and to give you the result of our experience as a new con n try." The Vicar, puzzled what 6 .do with his iisitor, offers him alt,lass ot wine. "No sire! ! not fm Jehoia- chin, •I guess, while he's living. Sir, that pisen never pesses my lips. I'm a Temperance- lectoorer, and Grand Master of the J onadab Lodge of Cayuga••Rechabites." He explaina the' "Toys' an Translation . Institute as be ing established for picking. tap '‘‘ gu ter children "in New York Cit and translatiii4, them. .to dayyg County, " where we glean; an lick 'em into. shape," and send.the to 'homes with farmers in the Fa West. He say g if the Yankees po sessed the magnificent British Am pire they would:manage it in a wa to astonish the old _fogies ,whoN hav it in hand. , = 4 hard, cold Christmas dawnwo masters and laborers still at enmity Squire Byrtorf, the chief landowner is especially hard against the insur gent clodhoppers, and has -done hi worst by means of ejeetion an otherwise against them. There i no merry Christmas this time, with its croWd of jubilant retainers a tEe Hall to greet the Squire and fa tnily with good sishes and taste their gladsome cheer: . The Squire feels miserable, and his family par takes the glooth. At length, at tracted by the peculiar manner o his dog, he follows its lead; and is brougi;t to a place - where poor Hodge, father of Little Hodge, is found, lying among the,spew, with his throat cut, folhAvinea hint that was offered him in his desperation by another desperate laborer's wife. This tragic denouement profluaes a complete change in the situation --pity and a sense of blameworthi- ness takes possession of the Squire and farmers.' BOth parties come to discuss matters in a `better spirit, and difficulties are happily arranged for the benefit of all. • Yankee in- tervention, through the instrumen- tality of Mr. Settle,' plays an im- portant pail' in the ameliorations that result. I This worthy broaches a scheme of transferring tha juvenile surplus ropulation to " Canady." Taking little Hodge for his text he says : "Now, for instance, there's, that bless- ed. little creetur who's raised all this muss. He's about the capacity of a good-sized straddlebug. I'll take that child, if you'll give him to me a few years from now, and. I'll plant him in co- lonial soil, and. Gin mush and hoecake and potato diet, he'll swell and grow in- to something like S, human. Sir, I've done a oonod work in Ainerica, my insti- toot is flourishing, and now, for the love of Gocl and my fellow -man, I'm willing to give some of my days to trying to do the same sort of work for Old England,-, • if so be you'll let me." 1 So a consignment of little folks is sent out under Mr. Settle's auspices Ten yearS after a great Christmas meeting is held in the Coddleton Union, where Little Hodge first saw the light;—farmers, squires and- la- • borers—to celebrate the anniversary of the blessed change that united them in a bond of mutual helpful- ness. The poorhouse has become of little or no use for want of paupers, and is used mainly for public meet- ngs. ..A mon a the many agreeable, "-itis melancholy to be obliged eatures of the happy reunion is the aiding of a letter from "Little odge," who has been adopted .by farmer's family, near Ottawa, un- er whose auspices he is getting to be big boy, and is no longer t� be ailed "Little Hodge," but Benja- in Hope." With this happy con- usion the story is brought to a oseaand it remains only to be hop - d that the _agricultural clifliculty England will culminate in as appy a result as the on6 depicted y' our. author. - we• --- Tartar Women. The lives of Asiatic Tartar wo- men of the higher classes are thoroughly aimless and Imeventful, their only business being to eat, dress, and sleep. Their- costume is very rich and elegant It consists of a species of robe of rioh silk or satin, .sleeves being veiy large and lung, sometimes falling as low as uthor H a cl to .re- cord that Saunny Stedman's case is a a clear argument M favor of Witholdinge C the Bible from the laity. His study of m -it, which was earnest and deep, led. him ei to draw Conclusions the reverse of the state -in -which -it -has -pleased- Providence CI to -place -you theory. Stedman, as he e grew more capable, was far from willing. in " to be content with the position in which he found himself placed. On the con- trary, he felt that he was worthy f bet- v ter things, and he was deterrnii ed to have them." ' The progress of the struggle that ensues between the farmers a d the laborers is graphically, hummously and pointedly told. Justices' jus- tice comes in for some severe handl- ing.- Farmer Jolley is let off, with a fine of five pounds for nearly murdering Hodge with a horse's whip, while one of his own' plow - THE HURON EXPOSITOR. the nhd • th amer pa robes' 18 emoroicteredlit fronl with gold.
