THE PIRATE

By Sir Walter Scott. CHAPTER XXXVI. (Continued )

Bunce immediately resumed: ‘* You are right, my friend, these are but vain visions of felicity, and it remains but for the unhappy Altamont to serve the friend to whom he is uow to bid farewell, 1 have determined to put you and the two girls ashore, with Fletcher for your protection ; and so call up the young women, and let them be gone before the devil gets aboard of me, or of some one else. You will carry my letter tothe magistrates, and second it with your own eloquence, and assure them that if they hurt but one hair of Cleve- land’s head, there will be the devil to pay, and no pitch hot.’

Relieved at heart by this unexpeeted terimi- nation of Bunce’s harangue, Halcro descended the companion ladder two steps at a time, and knocking at the cabin door, could searce find intelligible language enough to say his errand. The sisters hearing, with unexpected joy, that they were tc be set ashore, mufiled themselves in their cloaks, and, when they learned that the boat was hoisted out, came hastily on deck, where they were apprized, for the first time, to their great horror, that their father was still to remain on board of the pirate. “We will remain with him at every risk,” said Minna; ‘‘ we may be of some assistance to him, were it but for an instant—we will live and die with him!”

**We shall aid him more surely,” said Brenda, who comprehended the nature of their situation better than Minna, ‘‘ by in- teresting the people of Kirkwall to grant these gentlemen's demands.”

‘* Spoken like an angel of sense and beauty,” said Bunce; ‘‘and now away with you; for, d—n me, if this is not like having a lighted linstock in the powder-rouom—if you speak another word more, confouni meif I know how I shall bring myself to part with you !” ‘*430, in God's name, my daughters,” said Magnus, ‘‘ 1 am in God's hand; and when you are = I shall care little for myself—and I shal

good gentleman deserves a better trade. Go -—go—away with you!”—for they yet linger- ed in unwillingneess to leave him. ** Stay not to kiss,” said Bunce, ‘‘ for fear I be tempted to ask my share. Into the boat with you—yet stop aninstant.” He drew the three captives apart—*' Fletcher,” said he, will answer for the rest of the fellows, and will see you safe off the sea-beach, But how to answer for Fletcher, 1 know not, except by trusting Mr. Halcro with this little guarantee.” He otfered the minstrel a small double- barrelled pistol, which, he ‘said was loaded with a brace of balls! Minna observed Ha!- cro’s hand tremble as he stretched it out to take the weapon. ‘‘Give it to me, sir,” she said, taking it from the outlaw; *‘ and trust to me ior defeoding my sister and myself.” ‘* Bravo, bravo!" shouted Bunce. ‘‘ There spoke awench worthy of Cleveland, the King of Rovers!” ‘**Cleveland!” repeated Minna, ‘‘ do you then know that Cleveland, whom you have twice named?” ‘* Know him! Is there a man alive,” said Bunce, ‘* that knows better than I do the best and stoutest fellow ever stepped betwixt stem and stern? When he is out of the bilboes, as please Heaven he shall soon be, I reckon to see you come on board of us, andreign the queen of every sea we sail over. You have the little guardian, I suppose you know how to use it. If Fletcher behaves ill to you, you need only draw up this

crooking your pretty forefinger thus, and I shall lose the most dutiful messmate that ever man had—though, d—n the dog, he will de- serve his death if he disobeys my orders. And new, into the boat—but stay, one kiss, for Cleveland’s sake.”

Brenda, in deadly terror, indured his court- esy, but Minna, stepping back with distain, offered her hand. Bunce laughed, but kissed, with a theatrical air, the fair hand which she extended as a ransom for her lips, and at length the sisters and Halcro were paced in a boat, which rowed off under Fletcher's com- mand,

Bunce stood on the quarter-deck, solilo- quizing after the manner of his original. pro- fession. ‘‘ Were this told at Port-Royal now,

Guaves, I wonder what they would say of me ! Why, that I wasa good-natured milksop—a Jack-a-lent—an ass—Well let them. I have done enough of bad to think about it; itis worth while doing one good action, if it were but for the rarity of the thing, and to put one in good humor with oneself,” Then turning to Magnus Troil, he proceeded --‘* By -— these are bonarobas, these daughters of yours. The eldest would make her fortune on the London boards, What a dashing attitude the wench had with her, as she seized the pistol ! —d—n me, that touch would have brought the house down ! What a Roxalana the jade would have made!” (for, in his oratory, Bunce, like Sancho's gossip, Thomas Cecial, was apt to use the most energetic word which came to hand, without accurately considering its propriety,) ‘‘I would give my share of the next prize to hear her spout—

‘Away, begone, and give a whirlwind room,

Or I will blow you up like dust.—Avauant !

Madness but meanly represents my rage.’ And then, again, that little, soft, shy, tear- ful trembler, for Statira, to hear her re- cite, — ‘He spooks the kindest words, and looks such

things,

Vows with.such passion, swears with so much

That's 8 kind of heaven to be deluded by him.’ What a play we might have run up!—Il was s beast to think of it before I sent them off - 1 to be Alexander—Claud Halcro, Lysimachus —this old gentleman might have made o Clythus, fora pinch, I was.an idiot not to think of it?” j i There were much in this) effusion which might have displeased the Udaller ; but, to speak truth, he paid no attention to it. His eye, and, finally, his spy-glass; was employed in watching the return of his daughters to the shere. He saw them land on the beach, aad accompanied by Halers, and another man, (Fletcher, doubtless) he saw them ascend the

The Third Party. PLATFORM AND GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW PARTY IN CANADIAN POLITICS.

(Special to the St, John Globe.)

Orrawa, March 7.—The new prohibition party, which has been freely discussed in temperance conventions and alliances for some time past, is about to take definite shape. It is learned on reliable authority that an announcement will be made on Thursday morning in the leading cities of the Domjnicn cf the platioria of the party and of the convention to complete its organization. At a meeting of temperance workers in Toronto, in September last, a resvlution was adopted on motion of Rev. Dr; Sutherland, seconded by J. R. Dougsl), Montreal, stating it was the opinion of the convention that the present juncture was peculiarly favorable for the organization of # new party with prohibition as the chief plank in its platform. After the adoption of this resolution its supporters met and decided to take the initial steps to organize & party, and a committee was appointed to obtain expressions of opinion from the leading temperance men of the Dominion and to draft a platform for the proposed party. The following was finally decided upon :—

1. Righteousness and truth in public affairs as well as in private business, and no compromise with wrong.

2. Equal rights for all creeds, classes and nationalities, but exclusive privileges to none. 3. National sentiment, national litera- ture ; and in all matters of public policy our country first. 4. Prompt and absolute prohibition of | the liquor traffic as the objective point of -temperence legislation. In the meantime , honest and vigorous enforcement of the Scott Act and all other laws for repression of vice and intemperance. ' §, Retrenchment and economy in public expenditure with a view of reducing our ‘enormous national debt. ‘ 6. Manhood suffrage, with educational qualifications ; that is a vote to every free ‘aznan of legal age, who can read and write. _ 7. Exténsict of the franchise to women. | 8. Elective senate.

9. Civil service reform. A convention will be held in Toronto, |March 2lst, for the completion of the organization of the party, An effort is being made to get W. H. Howland, of Toronto, to take the leadership.

The Intercolonial.

The eafnings of the Intercoloniai last year were the largest in its history. Eight hundred and sixty-seven miles of road were operated against 714 miles in 1879-9, but the earnings have about doubled in the period, showing a great development of traffic. Freight traffic has actually more than doubled since 1878-9 ; tons carried last year, 1,151,334, against only 510,861 tons in 1878-9; passengers carried last year 940,144, against 643,101 in 1878-9. Last year’s traflic increased by 50,280 passengers and 122,780 tons freight as compared with the previous year. The development of inter-provincial traftic has been still more phenomenal. Last year 88,996 barrels retined sugar was shipped from Halifax to the upper provinces and 56,992 barrels from Moneton—a total of 143,988 barrels, or about 40,000,000 pounds. Inter-provincial coal shipments increased from 570 tons in 1878-80, te 175,512 tons for Jast year. Inter-provincial trade is being developed in other respects, while the carriage of | English goods, in the winter season, has been more than equal to the capacity of the road.

cnsbempenesnigeei tidied saat tes & New Departure.

Au English breach of promise case has brought out an entirely new feature in the defence which recreant lovers are accustom- ed to make under these painful circum- stances, Sarah Rowbotham sued Joseph | Sheppard the other day, and there was ‘clear proof that he had broken his word, to the extent, so the plaintiff claimed, of one thousand pounds. Sheppard’s counsel however, directed his energies to eliciting evidence proving Sheppard to be a very undersirable husband indeed. The defend- ant had to confess .that he had been divorced by his first wife was co-respondent in another case, had served a term of penal servitude, and was still under pelice supervision. The jury came to the con- clusion that Sarah had escaped an unfor- tunate alliance, and only offered her seventy-five pounds and congratulations. Defendants in{similar actions may in future consider a bad record as their best protec- tion.
