xined himeelf fur” encourhg- ing Hunter to choose the perilous life of a ‘soldier. As ier poor Marion she shed many | | bitter tears when she reflected that she | made no effort to prevent her lover leaving | heron his dangerous mission. But time and health works wonders. She was now ,a strong, healthy woman, who had no, hought of wasting her time in day dreams. | | fier mind and bedy was kept busy in doing, as much as possible, for her father’s com- jiert and enjoyment. ‘Two years after | | Hunter left Rustico, a ship arrived in the {harbour from England. She was sent by the proprietor of Lot 23 for a cargo of pine jlumber which lumbermen had been prepyvr- ‘ing all winter. The proprietor’s son, a ; young man of twenty-one years of age,came |as a passenger to see what his father’s estate in the Island was like. His niume was William Cormick. He had a fine, prepo- sessing appearance, and the education and manners of a gentleman. As Whitter’s home was the only place for miles around in which the English lan suage Wasspuken or understood,of courseCor-
>
mick wasaconstant visitorthere. Whitter was delighted w.th his new friend, and no won- der; for twenty-five years he had not seen a mau who could comprehend what he had suffered for his loyalty to the British em- pire. Cormick was just the sort of a man to ingratiate himseif into his favour. He had a good knowledge of English politics, and was strongly imbued with the idea that whatever the British Government did was
right. To Marion he was more fascinating still, He could talk of things going cn in
the world o: which she had heard little and seen nothing. He studionslyaimed to please the gentle girl, and he succeeded well, for she soon began to look on him as an ideal of what a man should be. It must be re- membered that during all this time noth- ing was heard of Uunter and his fortunes. At length the ship was luaded and ready for sea, and Cormack had to part with his friends. This he did relucantly. Marion’s beauty and simple manners made a deep iinpression on him. In fact he was deeply in love with her. He, however, had_ to leave, promising to return in the ship in the next spring. After his depature, Marion strove to forget him and to think of the long absent Arthur. But in spite of her endeavors, the well-informed, polished gen- tleman would come to her thoughts. Win- ter caine, and spring followed winter, and nothing was heard from Arthar Hunter. In
the early days of June the lumber ship was |
seen in the offing. She was soen in the harbor; an, in a few hours, Curmack was at Whittier’s fireside. He brought papers with him from his father, appoin ing Whit tier an agent to manage the estate on the Island. 4s for himself, he had liberty to
‘stay on the Islani all winter or return in
the slip to Engand. Before th: sh p was ready fer se. h» deciced to re. ain, and poor Hunter's d om was sealed. Wauittier soon discovered that his daughter and Cor- mick loy:d each other. And believing that he match would be a happy one for his daughter and that Hunter was dead, he threw no im ediments in the way. He considered his daughter good enough to be the wife of any man, and Cormick worthy of any ma:’s daughter. If Arthur Hunter had came back at this stage, things might have turned out differently. But it is old saying, out of sight out of mind ; and the man who stays away four years from the woman he loves while he has a rival who is always on hand to pour love’s soft tale into her ears, stands a pour chance. At any rate, such was the case in this instance. Marion Whittier and William Cormick were engaged to be married, and the time ap- pointed for the marriage ceremony was the following Christinas.
The event would have taken place sooner, but there was no clergyman to perform the marriage rite. They had to wait untila missionary Priest of the Catholic Church, who annually visited the Acadians then settled rennd the Island, came to Rustico, which he did every Christmas. Christmas came ; and the Priest on his annual round. The ceremony was duly performed, and Arthur Hunter was apparently forgotten by all. But he was only apparently forgotten. Marion could not forget on her bridal day, the man who won her first young love. It seemed as if a hundred things unnoticed before that day, bronght his once-loved form to her remembrance.
Our narrative left Arthur Hunter danger- ously wounded after the battle of Lundy’s Lane. His life was for a long time dispair- ed of, but youth and a good constitution did what nu doctor could do ; and he slowly recovered. After the war was over every town and hamlet of Canada vied with each uther in doing honor to the brave men who volunteered to the front in defence of hc me and country. Hunter with his brother officers was present at many a gay assem- blage of Canadian beauties. Many a fair Canadian damsel’s bosom heaved while treading the mazy cance with Arthur But he never swerved in his allegience to the fair brown eyed maid he had left in Prince Edward Island. As soon as pussible he took passage in a sloop of war for Hali- fax expecting easily to find his way from there to his adopted home at Whitticr’s. While on the voyage the sloop was over- taken by a French frigate and althongh they fought bravely they were overpowered

by the frigate and taken prisoners. They were landed on the Island of St. Pierie, they were detained prisoners until war wich Frwuce was over. At length in the year of 1515 he was set at liberty and sent with a few other Islanders in a small schooner to Kast Point where they arrived in the mouth of December. From there he started at once for Rustico with his heart full of high hopes and glowing anticipations of his darling Marion’s joy on seeing him safely returned.
He had a long and wearisome march, most of the way through the trackless forest. After suffering untold hardships on his journey in that inclement season of the year, he arrived a Whittier’s dwelling on the very night that Marion Whittier and William Cormick were married. He enter-
} Where
the
;ed the house where he had spent so many
happy years of his boyhood without a knock. Whiter and his daughter knew him at the first glance, but they looked upon him as an apparition from the grave and they were speechless with fear and astonishment. Marion sat staring at him with a deathly pallor in her face and when he moved to wards her with his hand extended, she waved him away with such an imploring look that he realized that something was wrong. Althongh no words were spoken Hunter comprehended the situation. The Priest at the table, the gay attire, Marion and the stranger sitting side by side, con- vinced him that he no longer had a claim on Marion Whittier; and he inrned and left the house forever From that moment no human eye ever saw Arthur Hunter alive. After Marien recovered from the stupor into which the appearance of the lover of her young days had thrown her, she insisted on the whole party going to look for him and induce him to come back. The night turned out bitter cold and stormy. But Marion felt no cold. Nor did she heed the raging storm. All night long did she lead the party in search of the lover of her youth. In vain did she call him by the endearing name by which she used to call him in the old days when she plighted to him her _ troth. The hollow wind, moaning through the for- est, seemed to mock her despairing cry. No trace of Hunter could be found, and they had to return to the house asad and gloomy bridal party. In the following Spring a party of lumbermen found the body of a man in the heart of the forest. On investigation it proved to be the bod of the ill-fated Arthur Hunter. A roug coffin was made for it by the lumbermen, and he was buried on the spot where he was found.
Such, reader, is the simple story of Hun- ter’s grave. It is not well told. But some P. E. [sland genius may yet weave the inci- dents of the story into as fascinating a ro- mance as was ever traced tothe pen of Walter Scott.

The Chinese Question.
WHAT THE NEW YORK ‘‘suN” Says.
“The Chinese must go!” is the cry that is heard not in California only, but the world over wherever they have settled in considerable numbers.. Such is the case in British Columbia, New Zealand, New South Wales, Australia and the Sandwich Islands, They come to these countries without wives or families, live (closely packed together) on the cheapest food that wHl sustain life, save allthe money they can with a view to re- turning to China with their earnings as soon as they can, and being thus enabled to work at lower prices than native workmen possibly can, soon obtain a monopoly of one department of labor after the other. In New Zealand they have been set to work upon the railroads, but have bee driven away by the white laborers. In New South. Wales the cabinet making trade has passed entirely into their hands, and they are tak- ing the place of white cooks and servants in the hotels.

Taz Man with a Wire anp Sx CHILDREN, Wo Never Saw One or THEM. —A genuine Yankee in San Francisco hay- ing bored a new-comer with every conceiv- able question relative to his object in visitin the gold country, hisshopes, his means an his prospects, at length asked him if he had a fainily.
‘* Yes, sir; I have a wife and six children, and I never saw one of them.”
After this reply the couple sat a few | minutes in silence, when the interrogator again commenced :— ‘‘ Was you ever blind, sir?”
‘* No sir.”
** Did you marry a widow sir ?”
“No sir.”
Another interval of silence.
‘“‘Did I understand you to say, sir, that you had a wife and six children living in New York, and had never seen one of them f’
‘* Yes, sir ; I so stated it.”
Another and a longer pause. Then the interrogator again inquired:—‘‘ How can it be, sir, that you never saw one of them ?”
‘* Why,” was the response, ‘* one of them was born after I left.”
Curate (visiting pour cabman, down with vronchitis—‘‘ Have you been in the habit of going to church?” Poor'eabb {taint'y) —‘* Can’t say I hev, sit; but ohimaxiy} hev druy a good many parties there, sir!”
