CHAPTER XVII. (Continued. }
While he was thus musing, Eric Scan- bester was whispering to Hulcro, “If these two lads do not do each ether a mischief, ‘there is no faith im freits. Master Mordaunt ae Cle - Cleveland, in requital has turnod ‘sunshine of Burgh-Westra tohis own side of the house ; and think what it is to lese favor in such a house as this,where .the punch-kettle is never allowed to cool! ; Well, now that Cleveland in his turn has been , 8¢e if he does not give him sour sillocks for stock -fish,”’
) **Pshaw, pshaw !” replied the poet, ‘that is all old women’s fancies, my friend Eric ; for what says glorious Dryden—sainted
John,—
| The yellow gall thatin your bosom floats, RPngendered all these melancleiy thoughts.’ ” |
“ Saint John, or Saint James either, may be mistaken in the matter,” said Eric ; “for _Ithink neither of them lived in Zetland. I only say, that if there is faith in old saws, these two lads will do each other a mischief ; ,and if they do, I trust it will light on Mor- daunt Mertoun.”
** And why, Eric Scambester,” said Halero, hastily and angrily, ‘‘should you wish ill to that poor young man, that is worth fifty of the other ?” | ** Let every one roose the ford as he finds iit,” replied Eric; ‘‘ Master Mordaunt is all ,for wan water,like his old dog-fish of a father; ;now Captain Cleveland, d’ye see, takes his
ass, like an honest fellow and a gentleman.”
|‘: Rightly reasoned, and in thine own divi-
sion,” said Halcro; and breaking off their thet took his way back to Burgh- Westra, to which the guests of Magnus were ‘now returning, discussing as they went, with imuch animation, the various incidents of their attack upon the whale, and not a little scandalized that it should have baffled all their exertions.
‘“*I hope Captain Donderdrecht of the Ein- tracht of Rotterdam will never hear of it,” said Magnus; ‘‘he would swear, donner and blitzen, we were only fit to fish flounders.”’
CHAPTER XVIII. And helter-skelter have I rode to thee, And tidings do 1 bring, and lucky joys, And golden times, and happy news of price. Ancient Pistol.
FortTuNE, who seems at times to bear a conscience, owed the hospitable Udaller some amends, and accordingly repaid to Burgh- Westra the disappointment occasioned by the unsuccessful whale-fishing, by sending thither, on the evening of the day in which that incident happened, no less a person than the jagger, or travelling merchant, as he styled himself, Bryce Snailsfoot, who arrived in great pomp, himself on one pony, and his pack of goods, swelled to nearly double its usual size, forming the burden of another, a was led by a bare-headed, bave-leggad OY.
As Bryce announced himself the bearer of important news, he was introduced to the dining apartment, where (for that primitive age was no respecter of persons) ke was per- mitted to sit down at a side-table, and amply supplied with provisions and good liquor; while the attentive hospitality of Magnus permitted no questions to be put te him,until, his hanger and thirst appeased, he announced, with the sense of importance attached to distant travels, that he had just yesterday arrived at Lerwick from Kirkwall, the capital of Orkney, and would have been here yester- day, but it blew hard off the Fitful-head.
‘** We had no wind here,” said Magnus.
‘“* There is somehody has not been sleeping, then,” said the pedler, ‘‘and her name begins with N; but Heaven is above all.”
**But the news from Orkney, Bryce, in- stead of crocking about a capful of wind.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
—_ -»>-————
The Scott Act.
Sir,—The Scott Act advocates are just now making a great ado about the quan- tity of liquors imported under the Scott Act being less than in former years. These people do not seem to care whether or not they get at the facts of the case. Iam: sorry to think they take so little trouble to arrive at conclusions, To say there are no liquors brought to the Province excepting what is reported at the Customs is untrue. Hundreds of gallons are brought here every week from Halifax, St. John, Montreal and other places which never report at our Custom House. Under the Scott Act we have very few direct importations. The rest and major part are supplied from Ca- nadian cities having paid the duties in these places. We all know that liquors like other merchandize on which duty has been paid are freely exchanged between all ports or places in Canada. Some go so far as to say that this cannot be done, that all liquors coming to the Province must report at the Custom House. Well, there need be no difficulty in finding out. A short walk to Queen Square, up a flight or two of steps and the work is done. Mr. Currie and Mr. Nash,the heads of the Departments of Customs and Inland Revenue respective- ly, are not above giving any information as :@ the facts. Mr. Currie will tell you ‘hat all liquors which pay duty cut- side of Charlottetown do not come under the notice ef the Customs authorities here at all. Mr.Nash will tell you, in like man- ner, that once Canadian manufactured liquors pay duty whether at Toronto, Mon- treal, Belleville, Brockville, Halifax, or any other city or town, are never heard of by the Inland Revenue Department or Customs Department again. In this way thousands of gallons are brought to the ‘Province.
The good people who Write for the press pass this fact by unnoticed with the very worst results, viz.: the electors are deceived by them. Now we all know that the tem- perance cause is a good one, and any meas- ure which goes to promote that object should have the support of all good citizens. But the Scott Act cannot be forced upon the citizens ot Charlottetown again without resorting to deceit and lying, and many good people thinking the Scott Act to be a good thing, write and talk in its favor regardless of facts, and imagine the end justifies the means. But they should re- member thet lying, whether direct or im- plied, is sinful, and any cause; letit be ever so good, which cannot be upheld without questionable means being employed is much better wiped out of existence.
Three years ago the same tactics were used, and with what result! The Act was | sustained by a small majority, and rum, from then until now held *‘ high carnival.” If this were all, there qnight still be some hope of restoring ord&. But those inter- ‘ested in the welfare of the city notice with pain that perjury is on the increase. So- called Temperance men talk glibly about the number of young men who swear falsely on the witness stand; yet they never move a hand to stay its progress.
It is notorious also that *‘gambling hells” with their accompanying vices have sprung up under the liquor influence of the Scort Act, and the authorities are powerless to stop it. The spy system, the curse of any country, has been introduced and the miserable drivelling informer is supported by the people’s taxes. Why is all this? Simply because the Act has not beencarried by the free voice of the people. It has been forced upon us by excited zealots, and if these people succeed in retaining it for another term I tremble at the thought of the conseyuences. Then, again illicit distilling has been introduced. This is another creature of the Seott Act. Within the last two or three years no less than three distilleries have been seized in
‘“Such news,” replied Bryce, ‘‘ as has not been heard this thirty years—not since Crom- ; well’s time.” {
‘* There is not another Revolution, is there?” } said Halcro; ‘‘ King James has not come) back, as blithe as King Charlie did, has he?” |
‘* It’s news,” replied the pediar, ‘‘ that are | worth twenty kings, and kingdoms to boot of | them; for what good did the revolutions ever | do us? and I dare say we have seen a dozen, great and sma’.”
‘“‘Are any Indiamen come north about?" said Magnus Troil. i ‘Ye are nearer the Mark, Fowd,” said the | jagger; ‘ but it is nae Indiamen, but a gallant. armed vessel, chokefull of merchandise, that | they part with so easy thata decent man like | myself can afford to give the country the best penny worths you ever saw; and that you will say, when I open that pack, for I count to: carry it back another sort lighter than when I | brought it here.”
‘‘Ay, ay, Bryce,” said the Udaller, ‘* you must have had good bargains if you sell cheap; but what ship was it?”
** Cannot justly say—I spoke to nobody but the captain, who was a discreet man; but she had been down on the Spanish Main, for she has silks and satins, and tobacco, I warrant you, and wine, and no lack of sugar, and bonny-wallies baith of silver and gowd, and a bonnie dredging of gold dust into the bargain.”
‘“ What like was she!” said Cleveland, who seemed to give much attention.
‘A stout ship,” said the itinerant merchaut, ‘‘schooner-rigged, sails like a dolphin, they say, carries twelve guns, and is pierced for twenty.”
‘Did you hear the captain’s name?” said Cleveland, speaking rather lower than his usual) tone.
“IT just ca’d him the Captain,’ replied Bryce Snailsfoot ; ‘* for I make it a rule never to ask questions of themI deal with in the way cf trade; for there is many an honest captain, begging your pardon Captain Cleve- land, that does not care to have his name tacked on his title; and as long as we ken what bargains we are making, what signifies
this Province; and if these have been cap- tured, isit unreasonable to suppose that many are still at work grinding vut poison which are not yet heard of. This also goes to show another source of liquor sup- ply unnoticed by the worshippers of Senator Scott. ANOTHER MERCHANT.
Of Two Evils Choose the Lesser.
Sin,—If an only alternative be the choice of one of two evils, it is a perversion of common sense toretain the larger. The holy satis- faction of being reasonably safe from the destructive forces of maddening liquor, lies undoubtedly in double prohibition, that is to say (1) prohibiting its manufacture through- out the Province, and (2) preventing its
importation, come whence it may; but Though this is a consummation most devout- ly'sought, It misses full approbation, and so comes to naught. Prohibition, then, does not prohibit because the people won't... If they would, # would. But prohibition is not part of the present liquor agitation. It is electively redneed toa simple choice between two controlling powers. The people are appealed to to say which is the lesser of two evils—the system. atic license or the unsystematic Scott Act. They both hide behind the same rum cask, and whichever bobs up for a ‘‘ smile” pops back with a grin. It isdrink, drink, drink under either law ; but the wild ery is abroad for one or the other, for man is still silly enough to ‘‘put an enemy in his mouth to steal away his brains,” and the question before the temperance community is simply, which? It is High License or Scott free- dom, and perhaps as neither is able to meet the requirements of suppressed intoxication, nor pretends to, it is perhaps only the difference between folly and foolishiness that, is up for decision. The folly of going openly to a brilliant array of glitteration for the colored fire- water,
it wha we are making them wi’, ye ken?”
‘*Bryce Snailstoot is a cautious man,” said | the Udaller, laughing ; ‘‘ he knows a fool may ‘ask more questions than a wise man cares to answer.”
