THE PIRATE.

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XIX. I pass the night from land to land, I havea strange power of speech, So soon as c’er his face I see, I know the man that must heai_ me, To him wy tale I teach, COLERIDGE’s Rime oj the Ancient Mariner.

The daughters of Magnus Troil shared the same bed in a chamber which had been that of their parents before the death of their mother. Magnus, who had suffered grievous- ly under that dispensati-n of Providence, had become disgusted with the apartment. The nuptial chamber was abandoned to the pledges of his bereaved affection, of whom the eldest was at that period only four years old, or thereabouts ; and having been their nursery in infancy continued, though now tricked out and adorned according to the best fashion of the islands, and the taste of the lovely sisters themselves, to be their sleeping room, or in the old Norse dialect, their bower.

It had been for many years the scene of the most intimate contidence, if that could be ealled confidence, where, in truth, there was nothing to be confided; where neither sister had a secret; and where every thought that had birth in the bosom ot the one, was, with- out either hesitation or doubt, confided to the other as spontaneously as it had arisen. But since Cleveland abode in the Mansion of Burgh-Westra, each of the lovely sisters had entertained thoughts which are not lightly or easily communicated, unless she who listens to them has previously assured herself that the confidence will be kindly received, Min- na had noticed, what other and less interested observers had been unable to perceive, that Cleveland, namely, held alower rank in Brenda's opinion than in her own; and Brenda, on her side, thought that Minna had hastily and unjustly joined in the prejudices which been excited against Mordaut Mertoun in the mind of her father. Each was sensible that she was no longer the same to her sister, and this conviction was a painful addition to other painful apprehensions which they supposed they had to strugyle with. Their manner toward each other was, in outward appear- ances, and in all the iittle cares by which affection can be expressed, even more assidu- ously kind than betore, as if both, conscious that their internal reserve was a breach of their sisterly union, strove to atone for it ly double assiduity in these external marks of affection, which, at other times, when there was nothing to hide, might be omitted with. out inferring any consequences.

On the night referred to in particular, the sisters felt more especially the decay of the confidence which used to exist betwixt them. The proposed voyage to Kirkwall, aul that at the time of the fair, when persons of every degree repair thither, either for business or amusement, was likely to be an important incident in lives usually so simple and uniform as theirs ; and a few months ago, Minna and Brenda would have been awake half the night, anticipating, in their talk with each other, all that was likely to happen on so mo- mentous an occasion. But now the subject was just mentioned, and suffered to drop, as if the topic was likely to produce a difference betwixt them, or to call forth a more open dis- play of their several opinions than either was willing to make to the other.

Yet such was their natural openness and gentleness of disposition, that each sister im- puted to herself the fault that there was aught like estrangement existing between them; and when, haviag finished their de- votions and betaken themselves to their com- mon couch, they folded each other in their arms, and exchanged a sisterly kiss, and a sisterly good -night, they seemed mutually to esk pardon, and to exchange forgiveness, al- though neither said a word of offence, either offered or received ; and both were soon plung- ed in that light and yet profound repose, which is only enjoyed when sleep sinks down on the eyes of youth and innocence.

On the night to which the story relates, both sisters were visited by dreams, which, though varied by the modes and habits of the sleepers, bore yet a strange general resemblance tu each other.

Minna dreamed that she was in one of the most lonely recesses of the beach, called Swartaster, where the incessant operation of the waves, indenting a caleareous rock, has formed a deep halier, which, in the language of the island, means a snbterranean cavern, into which the tide ebbs and flows. Many of these run to an extraordinary and unascer- tained depth under ground, and are the retreat of coromorants and

secure

seals, which it is neither eas) nor safe to pursue to their extreme recesses. Amongst these, this hailer of Swar-

taster was accounted peculiarly inaccessible, and shunned both by fowlers and by seamen, en account of sharp angles and turnings in the cave itself, as well as the sunken rocks which rendered it very dangerous for skiffs or boats to advance far into it, especially if there was the usual swell of an island tide. From the dark-browed mouth of this cavern, it seemed to Minna, in her dream, that she beheld a mermaid issue, not in the classical dress of a Nereid, as in the Claud Halcro’s mask of tie preceding evening, but with comb and glass in hand, according to popular belief, and lashing the waves with that long scaly train, whic sh, in the traditions of the country, forms so frightful a contrast with the fair face, long tresses, and displayed bosom. of a human and earthly female, of surpassing beauty. She seemed to beckon to Minna, while her wild notes rang sadly in her ear, and denounce, in prophetic sounds, calamity and woe.

The vision of Brenda was of a different « le 28° cription, yet equally melancholy. She sat, she thonght, in her favorite bower, caerellik ed by her father and a party of his most beloved friends, amongst whom Mordaunt Mertoun was not forgotten. She was required to sing; and she strove ta entertain them with a lively ditty, in which she was accounted eminently successful, and which she sung with such simple, yet natural humour, as seldom failel to produce shouts of laughter and applause, while ail who could, or who could not sing. were irresistibly compelled to lend their voices to the chorus Sut, on this occa- sion, it seemed as if her own voice refused all its usual duty, and as if, while she felt her- self unable to express the words of the well- known air, it assumed, in her own despite, the deep tones and wild and melancholy notes of Norna ot Fitfui-head, for the purpose of chanting some wild Rani« rhyme, resembling those sung by the heathen priests of old, when the victim (toc often human) was bound to the fatal altar of Odin or of Thor,

The Late William Elder's Testi- mony.

At ameeting of the St. John Board of Trade, Mr. C. H. Fairweather read from the St. John Telegraph of November 22nd, 1881, to show the opinions entertained by the late Mr. Elder of the relative prosper- ity of Canada and the adjacent States of

, the American union as follows :—

“The growth of a population during a decennial period may be influenced by tran- sient causes, but if we take a period of fifty years, and compare the growth of one country with another, during that period, we shall be able to determine pretty accurately which country has within it the greatest elements of progress. The New England States afford a fair field for comparison with the oid pro- vinces of Canada. This is what the census reveal :—

Increase in Maine, 1850-1 1881 50 years. N. Hampshire, Vermont, 1,952,717 4.010,026 2,056,309 Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ontario, a ec,

Brunswick,

ss a Neotia, (

P. E. Island.

- 1,065,215 4,141,424 3,076,200

While the New England States have merely doubled their population in fifty years, the older provinces « f Canada have nearly quadrub/- ed! theirs in the same period,

Dropping Ontario from the comparison, let us see how Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont—the States that lie immediately on our borders, whose soil and climate are similar to ours—-have grown in population during the past fifty years, as compared with Quebec and the Maritime Provinces :

Increase in 1830-1. 1880. 50 years.

Three New Eng.

States........ 949,435 1,327,713 378,278 Four Canadian Provinces.... 828,513 2,227,964 1,399.45]

In other words while the increase of popula” tion in the three New England States on our borders in fifty years has been only 38 per cent., the increase in the four provinces has been 169 per cent. Figures like these require no comment.

If we drop Quebec out of the statement and compare the growth of the maritime pro- vinees with that of Maine, which lies imme diately on our borders, the result will be found hardly less remarkable :

Increase in

Population. 1830-1 1880-1 50 years. Maine ..........309,455 648,436 248,981 Mar. Provinces. .275,379 869,495 584,116

In other words, while the increase of Maine in population in fifty years has been only 62 the increase of the maritime pro- vinces inthe same period has been 212 per cent,

Let us limit the comparison between Maine and the maritime provinces toa period of twenty years, and exclude Prince Edward Island, and we shali have a still better oppor- tunity of judging of the comparative growth of two pieces of territory. differing but little in soil or climate and where the natural ad- vantages are nearly equal. The following table speaks for itself :

per ct ie.

Increase in 20 years. 20,157 178,774

Population. 1860-1 1880-1

ones: 4 es 628,279 648,436 N. B. and N. S..582,940 761,714

Maine, which twenty years ago had 45,000 more people than New Brunswick and Nova Scotia combined, now has 113,000 less ; and while Maine in that period has only added to her population by three per cent., New Bruns- wick and Nova Scotia have increased in popu- lation more than thirty per cent.

** Some people are never tired of telling us that if Camada had been annexed to the United States its progress would have been greater than it has been; others when they cross the line from even the least progressive of the New England States into Canada, profess to be struck with our want of progress and lament that the influence of monarchial institutions should so depress a people. The true test of the value of this kind of talk is in the census returns, and we propose to use them for the purpose of showing that people who employ such language do not know what they are talking about, and are only wepeating the ignorant chatter which they have heard used by others who are as ill-informed as them selves.
