THE PIRATE.

CHAPTER XXV. (Continued.)

Indeed, the scene was rendered more appal- ing to weak and ignorant minds, because the same stormy and eddying winds, which, on the one side of the church, threatened to bury the ruins with sand, and had, in fact, heaped it up in huge quantities, so as almost to hide the side wall with it buttresses, seemed in other places bent on uncovering the graves of those who had been laid to their long rest on the south-eastern quarter; and, after an unusually hard gale, the coffins, and some- times the very corpses, of those who had been interred without the usual cerements, were discovered, ina ghastly manner, to the eyes of the living.

It was to this desclated place of worship that the elder Mertoun now proceeded, though without any of those religious or sup-

VOL. 22.—NO. 37. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Pushed Too Far.

Sir,—Society requires laws for self- preservation. The strict enforcement of those laws becomes a matter of prime im- portance to every citizen. Punishments attend the imposition of laws, and in so much are they penal. Yet in every well ordered community the punishment sould never be enforced with undue severity. Whenever such becomes the case, then the citizen looks on the State, not as correcting with the tempered wrath of a father who reproves his wayward boy, byt rather as crushing and destroying, after the manner of cruel and heartless tyrants. Penal laws, when pushed to extremes, arouse the hatred of ihe citizens, aud the majesty of the law suffers in consequence. The whole civilized world denounced the Crimes Act that unfortunately stains the statutes

erstitious purposes with which the | church of Saint Ringan was usually; approach | ed. He was totally without the superstitious | fears of*the country—nay, from the sequester- | ed and sullen manner in which he lived, with- | drawing himself from human society even) assembled for worship, it was the opinion that he erred on the more fatal side, and believed rather too little than too much of that which the Church receives and enjoins to Christians. As he entered the little bay, on the shore, and almost on the beach of which the ruins ttre situated, he could not help pausing for an instant, and becoming sensible that the scene, as calculated to operate on human feelings, had been selected with much judgment as the site of a religious house. In front lay the sea, into which two headlands, which formed the extremities of the bay, projected their gigan- tic causeways ot dark and sable rocks, on the ledges of which the gulls, scouries, and other sea-fowl, appeared like flakes of snow; while upon the lower ranges uf the cliff, stood whole lines of cormorants, drawn up alongside of each other, like soldiers in their battle array, and other liging thing was there none to see. The sea, although not in 2a tempestuous state, was disturbed enough to rush on these capes with asound™~Jike distant thunder, and the billows, which rose in sheets of foam half-way up those sable rocks, formed ®—ceptrast of coloring equally striking and awfal.

Betwixt the extremities, or capes, of these projecting headlands, there rolled, on the day when Mertoun visited the scene, a deep and dense aggregation of clouds, through which no human eye could penetrate, and which, bounding the vision, and excluding all view of the distant ocean, rendered it no unapt re- presentation of the sea in the vision of Mirza, whose extent was concealed by vapors, and clouds, and storms. The ground rising steeply from the séa-beach, permitting no view into the interior of the country, appeared a scene of irretrievable barrenness, wheres crubby and stunted heath, intermixed with the long bent, or coarse grass, which first covers sandy soils, were the only vegetation that could be seen

Upon a natural elevation, which rose above the beach in the very bottom of the bay, and receded a little from the sea, 86 as to be without reach of the waves, arose the half-buried ruin which we have already described, surrounded by a wasted, half-ruinous, and mouldering wall, which, breached in several places,served still to divide the precincts of the cemetery.

The mariners who were driven by accident into the solitary bay, pretended that the church was occasionally observed to be full o

lights, and, from the cireumstance, were used to prophesy shipwrecks and deaths by sea.

As Mertoun approached near3to the chapel, he adopted, insensibly, and perhaps without much premeditation, measures to avoid being himself seen, until he came close under the walls of the burial ground, which he approach- ed, as it chanced, on that side where the sand was blowing from the graves, in. the manner we have described.

@ Here, looking through one of the gaps in the wall, which time had made, hs hebodd the person whom he sought, occupied in a man- ner which assorted well with the ideas popularly entertained of her character, but which was otherwise sufficiently extraordin- ary.

She was employed beside a rude monument, on one side of which was represented the rough outline of a cavalier, or knight, on horseback, while, on the other, appeared a shield, with the armorial bearings so defaced as not to be intelligible ; which escutcheon was suspended by an angle, contrary to the modern custom, which usually places them straight and upright. At the foot of this pillar was believed to repose, as Mertoun had formerly heard, the bones of Ribolt Troil, one | of the remote ancestors of Magnus, and a man | renowned for deeds af valorovs emprise in the fifteenth century. From the grave of this) warriar Norna of the Fitful-head seemed | busied in shovelling the sand, an easy task | where it was so light and loose; so that it

seemed plain that she would shortly complete

what the rude winds had begun, and make bare the bones, which lay there interred.

(To be continued.) are How ‘o Train a Canary.

Set the cage on a table near where you wish to sit; after a little con- ference with the bird, introduce a finger between the wires near the favorite perch, holding it there patiently, yourself occupied with book or paper the while. Presently, as it shows no disposition to harm him, he cautiously goes up to examine it. Then he picks to ascertain its quality, maybe he fights it That is well ; he no longer fears it. Pay him with a little bird food, put him away. Next day try him again. He may go farther and light on it, or he may be several days getting thus familiar. Be patient. Once this step is attained, vary the programme by introducing the finger in other spots. He will soon light on it at any point or angle. Then try the door, at first thrusting the finger under it, next time fasten it open, blocading egress with

Lanission in future.

| Vindication, without

of Great Britain ; and in consequence, th- happy Ireland is still clamoring, and clam- oring loudly for redress of grievances. ireland resists the eperation of such in- iquitous laws, and in her struggle has the world’s sympathy.

My idea of the penalty of laws is that the retorimation of the convicted should be kept constantly in view. I don’t think we wish to be classed as a community that is ready to sanction the infliction of extreme punishments under the cloak of a vindica- tion of outraged laws, the more particular- ly when the law itself has been sufticiently vindicated, andthe desired reformation of the guilty one fully assured. It is a fun- damental principle of law—going back to the time of the old Romans—that penal laws are to be administered with clemency, odia sunt restringenda.

The Scott Act recently obtained another lease of life in onr midst, whether for bet- ter or for worse time alone shall decide. We all know how unsatisfactory its opera- tion has been in the past. Like an inter- mittent fever, it worked by tits and starts. Thus far it has failed in making total ab- stainers of the masses. I have no guaran- tee that it will be more, successful in its The truth in this con- nectidtr may as wel! be openly told, and I have no hesitation in saying that I antici- pate no lasting and satisfactory results in the drinking habits of owrpeople until

hypocrisy shall have given place to a Cgn- sistent end conscientious regard for onl | professions. Many pose to-day as tota abstainers, and when not afraid of exposure are loud in their denunciations of the rum- seller; but under other circumstances, betore the sun goes down, are ready totake their Scotch straight ! Exaggeration, mis- representation, is it? No; I know whereof I speak, and I use the expression advisedly. Yet, by all means, “let us pot throw dis- credit on our laws. Let them, be respected and obeyed. And of them all, none re- quires such careful t18atinént “and delicate handling as this Scott Act of ours., To add to its unpopularity a character of oppres- siveness, to make it an instrument to effect the ruin of deserving citizens, is practically to destroy it. It was sustained by a slight majority, and six hundred independent voters carefully observe how it is enforced. Provoke them, arouse them by even a sem- blance of undue severity, and their ballots three years hence will erase it from our statutes. ’ I have been led into this train of thought by some recent events that have transpired or are transpiring in our city. Our fellow townsman of the Union House was engaged in the past in the liquor business. I'll not refer now either to the quality of his stock or the character of his customers or the reputation of his house. His oaly sin is that he sold in contravention to the Seott Act, which seemed to be in advance of the views and wishes of the people at large. It is a well-known fact that the great majority of our people either disregarded or evaded it. But when it was latterly sustained, he at once decided to yo out Of the business ; and on the assurance of many of our active temperance workers that the past would be condoned, he honorably closed his doors and embarked in another entcrprise. He could have gone elsewhere, but we would have But, alas, for soft promises! The law is allowed in self- a dissenting voice, to ifs course, and thus re- fellow citizen's liberty unneces-

step in and tai:e strain a sarily. [ honestly think the circumstances are such as to justify an immediate appeal to the Minister of Justice on the part of our citizens, with a view of vbtaining an honor- able discharge im this case. Honesty and candor seem to throw such a responsibility onus. Besides, a graceful acquiescence to our laws, under the circumstances, demand some such recognition at our hands. And, in conclusion, what I have advanced and advocated | would be pleased to see ex- tended to all such as follow in the steps of the late proprietor of the Union House. Yours truly,
