MURPHY,

| My Own Canadian Home.

Though other skics may be as bright, And other lands as fair ;

Thorgh charms of other climes invite My wandering footsteps there,

Yet there is one, the peer of all Beneath bright heaven’s dome ;

Of thee I sing, O happy land,

My own Canadian home.

The Jakes and rivers, as ‘‘ the voice Of many waters” raise

To Him who planned their vast extent A symphony of praise.

Thy mountain peaks overlook the clouds— They pierce the azure skies ;

They vid the sons be strong and true— To great achievements rise.

A noble heritage is ours, So grand and fair and free ;

A fertile land, where he who toils Shall well rewarded be,

And he who joys in nature’s charms, xulting, here may view

Scenes of enchantment strangely fair, Sublime in form and hue,

Shall not the race that tread thy plains, Spurn all that would enslave ?

Or they who battle with thy tides, Shall not that race be brave?

Shall not Niagara’s mighty voice

Inspire to actions high ?

| "were easy such a land to love,

Or for her glory die.

And doubt not should the foeman’s hand

Be armed to strike at thee,

| ‘The trumpet call throughout the land

) Need scarce repeated be !

As bravely as on Queensiton’s Heights, Or as in Lundy’s Lane,

Thy sons will battle for thy rights And freedom’s cause maintain.

Did kindly heaven afford to me The choice where I would dwell,

Fair Canada, that choice should be The land I love so well.

I love thy anills and valleys wide, Thy waters flash and foam ;

May God. in love o er thee preside,

My own Canadiizn home !

THE PIRATE.

By f3ir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXVI. (Continued. )

* It is but too true,” said Minna, ina _ sub- dued voice; ‘‘but I know not—she may answer a question—-a question that only the miserable dare ask of the miserable.”

‘* Nay, my kinswoman is no miser,” answer- ed the Udaller, who only heard the beginning of the word ; ‘*a good income she has, both in Orkney and here, and many a fair lispund of butter is paid to her. But the poor have the best share of it, ancl shame fall the Zetlander who begrudges them ; the rest she spends, I wot not how, in ber journeys through the is- lands. But you will laugh to see her house, and Nick Strumpfer,whom she calls Pacolet— many folks think Nick is the devil; but he is flesh and blood, like any of us—his father lived in Gremsay.—I shall be glad to see Nick again.”

While the Udaller thus ran on, Brenda, who, in recompense for a less portion of im- agination than her sister, was gifted with sound common sense, was debating with her- self the probable effect of this visit on her sister's health. She came finally to the reso- lution of speaking with her father aside upon the first occasion which their jcurney should afford. To him she determined to communi- cate the whole particulars of their nocturnal interview with Norna,—to which, among other agitating causes, she attributed the depression of Minna’s spirits,—and then make himself the judge whether he ought to persist in his visit to a person so singular, and expose his daughter to all the shock which her nerves might possibly receive from the inter- view.

Just as she had arrived at this conclusion, her father, dashing the crumbs from his laced waistcoat with one liand, and receiving with the other a fourth cup of brandy and water, drank devoutly to the success of their voyage, and ordered all to be in readiness to set for- ward. Whilst they were saddling their ponies Brenda, with some difficulty, contrived to make her father understand she wished to speak with him in private—-no small surprise to the honest Udaller, who, though secret as the grave in the very few things which he considered secrecy as of importance, was so far from practising mystery in general, that his most important affairs were often discussed by him openly in p:esence of his whole family, servants included.

But far greater was his astonishment, when, remaining purposely with his daughter 3renda, a little in the wake, as he termed it, of the other riders, he heard the whole account of Norna’s visit to Burgh-Westra, and of the communication with which she had then astounded his daughter. For a long time he conld utter nothing but inter- jections, and ended with a thousand curses on his kniswoman’s folly in telling his daughters such a history of horror.

‘<7 have often heard,” said the Udaller, ‘‘ that she was quite mad, with all her wis- dom, and all her knowledge of the seasons ; and, by the bones of my namesake, the Martyr, I begin now to believe it most assuredly ! I know no more how to steer than if I had lost my composs. Had I known this before we set out, I think I had remained at home;but now that we have come so far and that Norna expects us

‘* Expect us, father !” said Brenda ; *‘ how can that be possible?”

“* Why, that I know not—but she that can tell how the wind is to blow, can tell which way we are designing to ride. She must not be provoked;—periaps she has done my family this ill for the words 1 had with her about the lad Morlaunt Mertoun, and if so, she can undo it§again;—and so she shall, or I will know the cause therefor. But I will try fair words first.”

Finding it thus settled that they were to go foreward, Brenda endeavored next to learn from her father whether Norna’s tale was founded in reality. He shook his head, groaned bitterly, and, in a few words, | acknowledged that the whole, so far as con- cerned her intrigus with a stranger, and her

** Her infant !” exclaimed Brenda ; she spoke not a word of herinfant !”

‘** Then I wish my tongue had been blister-

became the wa.-a

--I see that, young and old, a man has no ; better chance of keeping a secret from you women, than an eel to keep himself in his hole when he is sniggled with a loop of horse hair—sooner or later the fisher teases him out of his hole, when he has once the noose around his neck.”

‘* But the infant, my father,” said Brenda, still insisting on the particulars of this ex- traordinary story, ‘* what became of it ?”’

** Carried off, Ifancy, by the blackguard, Vaughan,” answered the Udaller, with a gruff accent, which plainly betokened how weary he was of the subject.

‘* By Vaughan,” said Brenda, “ the lover of poor Norna, doubtless !—what sort of a man was he, father ?”

‘*Why, much like other men, I faney,” answered the Udaller, ‘I never saw him in my life.—He kept company with the Scottish families at Kirkwall ; and I with the good old Norse folk—Ah ! if Norma had always kept company amongst her own kin, and not kept company with her Scotch acquaintance, she would have known nothing ef Vaughan, and things might have been etherwise--—Butthen I should have nothing of your blessed mother, ®renda—and that,” he said, his large blue eyes shining with a tear, ‘‘would have saved me ashort joy and a long sorrow.”

‘*Norna could but ill have supplied my mother’s place to you, father, as a companion and a friend—that is, judging from all I have heard,” said Brenda, with some hesitation. But Magnus, softened by recollections of his beloved wife, answered her with more indulgence than she expected.

‘*] would have been content,” he said, **to have wedded Norna at that time. It would have been the soldering of an old quarrel—the healing of an old sore. All our blood relations wished it, and, situated as I was, especially not having seen your blessed mother, I had little will to oppose their counsels. You must not judge of Norna or of me by such an appe*rance as we now present to you—She was young and beautiful, and I gamesome as a Hiyhland buck, and little caring for what haven I made for, having, as I thought, more than one under my lee. But Norna preferred this man Vaughan, and, as 1 told you before, it was, perhaps, the best kindness she could have done to me.”

(To be continued.)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Untrue Statements.

Siz,—The people of Souris and its vicinity have been surprised at the scurri- lous attacks which have been directed through the press on the mail carrier for East Point.

The last effervescence of some easily agitated spirit, which appeared in yours of the 6th, is inimitable so far as regards an assertion of direct falsehoods. That the gentleman in question has been negligent in his duties is untrue in the extreme. It is personally known tous that a more punctual and exact courier is net engaged on the postal service throughout the Island. He missed one trip on the occasion of the funeral of a near relative, and an individual of the ‘* firefly ” genius undertakes tu tra duce him and bring him, in the estimation of the public, to the same meau level with himself.

But it seems that professional grumblers are having a carnival, when even our genial and popwar Postmaster, Mr. Paquet, has not escaped. This gentleman is too well and favorably known for me to undertake his defence, but such attacks serve to illus- trate the fact that se long as there be one person in the world to faithfully, honestly and conscientiously discharge his duty, so long will there be a half dozen of ineapables ready to malign him.

If, instead of wasting the valuable space of your journal by their vaporings, ‘*‘ New Year ” and others would betake themselves to some healthy occupation, such as rail- splitting or team driving, the public would be benefitted by the sacrifice of imaginative powers of the same order as those possessed by a certain gentleman of world-wide fame, Thomas Pepper, with whose story everyone is familiar.

Yes, sir, we are of the hope that our advice, administered in a charitable spirit, may be of service to these, the public and your afilictors, and that in future they will learn to be more charitably occupied, hav- ing taken to heart the maxim, ** Love thy neighbor as thyself.”

Yours hopefully, Teppy.

Frotting Notes.

Mr. James E. Birch, of Alberton, is out with a challenge to Mr. James Platt, of Tignish. Mr. Birch says:

** Learning that you have stated you own a mare that can beat my mare Maud B., I here- by challenge you to trot a match race on Montrose ice, any day within three weeks from date, for any sum from $10 to $60. Mile heats, best three in five to harness, according to the rules of the National Trotting Associa- tion. Ihave placed my money in the hands of Charles Morrison, Alberton, so please ante up and give us a day's sport.”

Mr. W. B. Bowness, of New Annan, is also to the front with a challenge. This is how he puts it :—

“T hereby clallenge any square trotter in Prince County (Stallions excepted) to trot my

mare Kildare Girl, on Summerside ice, for any sum from $5 to $50. Race to take place before lact day of March next. Mile

heats, best 3 in 5.”

With so many “flyers” about, there should be no difficulty in getting on a match with the gentlemen referred to above.
