THE PIRATE.

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXXVIII. (Continued. )

The first exercise of the Captain’s power was to make knowa to Magnus Troil that he was at full freedom to depart—that he was willing to make him any compensation in ‘his

ower, for the interruption of his voyage to Kirkwall ;and that Captain Cleveland was desirous, if agreeable to Mr. Troil, to pay his respects to him on board his brig—thank him for former favors, and apologize for the cir- cumstances attending his detention. To Bunce, who, as the most civilized of the crew, Cleveland had intrusted this message, the old plain-dealing Udaller made the follow- ing answer: ‘‘ Tell your Captain that I should be glad to think he had never stopped any one on the high sea, save such as have suffered as little as r have. Say, too, that if we are to continue friends, we shall be most so ata distance; for I like the sound of his cannon balla as little by sea, as he would like the whistle of a bullet by land trom my rifle gun. Say, in a word, that lam sorry. that I was mistaken in him, and that he would have done. better to have reserved for the Spaniard the usuage he is bestowing on his country-

meDgs

«Ra so that is your message, old Snap- cholerick ?” said Bunce—‘*Now stop my vitals if I have not a mind to do your errand for you over the left shoulder, and teach you more respect for gentleman of fortune? But I won't, and chiefly for the sake of your two pretty wenches, not to mention my old friend Claud Halero, the very visage ef whom brought back all the old days of scene-shifting and candle-snuffing. Sogood morrow to you Gaffer Seal’s-cap, and all is said that need pass between us.”

No sooner did the boat put off with the pirates, who left the brig, and now returned to their own vessel, than ilagnus, in order to avoid reposing unnecessary confidence in the honor of these gentlemen of fortune, as they called themselves, got his: brig under way ; and, the wind coming favorably round, and increasing as the sun rose, he crowded all sail for Scalpa-flow, intending there to disembark and go by land to Kirkwall, where he expect- = to meet his daughters and his friend Claud

alcro.

CHAPTER XXXIX.

The sun was high in heaven; the boats were busily fetching off from the shore the pro- mised supply of provisions and water, which, as many fishing skiff were employed in the service, were got on board with unexpected speed, and stowed away by the crew of the sloop, with equal despatch. All worked with good will; for all, save Cleveland himself, were weary of a coast where every moment increased their danger, and where, which they esteemed a worse misfortume, there wes no booty to be won. Bunce and Derrick took the immediate direction of this duty, while Cleveland, walking the deck alone and in silence, only interfered from time to time to give some order which cirenmstances required and then relapsed into his own sad _ reflec- tions.

There are two sorts of men whom situations of guilt, and terror and commotion bring for- ward as prominent agents. The first are spirits so naturally moulded and fitted for deeds of horror, that they stalk forth from their lurking places like actual demons, to work in their native element, asthe hideous apparition of the Bearded Man came forth at

ersailles, onthe memorable 5th October, 1789, the delighted executioner of the victims delivered up to him by a bloodthirsty rabble. But Cleveland belonged to the second class of these unfortunate beings, who are involved in evil rather by the concurrence of external cir- cumstances than by matural inclination, being, indeed, one in whom his first engaging in this lawless mode of life, as the follower of his father, nay, perhaps, even his pursuing it as his father’s avenger, carried with it something of mitigation and apology ;—one also who often considered his guilty situation with hor- ror, and had made repeated, though ineffec- tual erforts, to escape from it.

Such thoughts ot remorse were now rolling in his mind, and he may be torgiven if» recol- lections of Minna mingled with aud aided them. He looked around, too, on his mates, and, profligate and hardened as he knew them to be, he could not think of their paying the penalty of his obstinacy. ‘“‘We shall be ready to sail with the ebb tide,” he said to himself—‘‘ why should I endanger these men by detaining them till the hourof d ‘ predicted by that singular woman, shall artive? Her intelligence, howsoever acquired, has been always strangely accurate; and her warning was as. solemn as if a mother were to apprize an erring son of his crimes, and of his approaching punishment. Besides, what na is there that I can again see Minna? She is at Kirkwall, doubtless, and to hold my course thither would be to steer right upon the rocks. No, I will not endanger these poor fellows—I will sail with the ebb tide. On the desolate Hebrides, or on the north- west coast of Ireland, I will leave the vessel and return hither in some disguise—yet, why should I return, since it will perhaps be only to see Minna the bride of Motdaunt? No— let the vessel sail this ebb tide without me. I will abide and take my fate,”

THE NEW POLICY. WHAT IT INVOLVES. Speech of Hon. George Foster,

(Hansard Report.) AFTER RECESS.

Mr. Foster, the hon. member for South Ox- ford, in the introduction of his resolution, and the hon. gentieman from Queen's, P. k. 1, who spoke this afternoon, both agrecd that the proposition before the House is an iin- portant one. They both agreed that it pro- posed a very considerable disturbance of the existing relations; they agreed that it was, in fact, a heroicremedy, Now, I think, before the House or the country is justitied in ac: ept- ing such a proposition, so denominated by its mover and its supporters, the burden of proof is placed upon tnose who introduced it and support it, The burden of proof is placed upon them to show clearly that at the present time a heroic remedy is necessary; that, tak- ing the condition of the country now, in 188, as compared with its condition in 1577, or in any year previous to 1877, a set of circum- stances has arisen, almost suddenly arisen, which mikes it necessary now to take a step that was never deemed necessary before, and that, therefore this heroic remedy should be applied. Now, if the burden of proof must fail upon the hon. gentleman who introduced, and the hon. gentlemen who support the reso- lution, let us examine for a few moments the proofs by that test and the facts brought for- ward in support of the contention that a heroic remedy is atthe present time neces- sary. The first proof adduced by my hon. friend from Soutn Oxford was this: He says nature is too strong for us. Now, I suppose by that expression he meant that the diifer- ent Provinces of the Dominion ae 80 consti- tuted, first, with relation to themselves, and, secondly, with relation to other countrigs in their vicinity, that is is impossible to com- bine them into a united country having satis- factory trade relations among the dilferent Provinces which compose it. I understand him to mean that the

GEOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS

of the different component parts of the Do- minion are such tuat they tight continually against a unity of commerce and a unity of spirit in the Confederation, and that, in this fight, these geographical difficuities, that is nature, will prove too strong, and these com- ponent parts can, therefore, never be welded into a united whole. In the first place, I wish, in reference to that, to make this re- mark: I believe the hon, member for South Oxford is not a tryo in politics, 1 believe he he is not unknown ta history of this country, I believe he has been a more or less central figure in the party to which he has belonged for some fifteen or sixteen years. If to-day, nature is too strong for us, as the hon. gentleman says, what must nature then have been in 1868? What must nature have been in 1873? And what must nature have been from 1873 to 1879? And what, in a less degree, must nature have been from 1879 up to the present? But we never have beard of the hon. gentleman introducing such a resolu- tion as this or ahything akin to this ; we have never heard of his proposing such a remedy or anything akin to it, until this present year of grace of 1888, when the difficulties which nature has placed in our way have been, to a large extent, overcome by the energy and enterprise and wealth of this country. The hon.. member for South Oxford was a sup- porter oi that idea ; he was a supporter of that plan; he has continued to support it from 1868 to 1873. Mr. Mitts (Bothwell.)—From 1864.

Mr. Fosrex.—- From 1864then. He was in the Government, and a_ central figure in it, from 1873 to 1879. Has

he just nowarrived at this conclusion ? What new light has been thrown that has brought him to the conclusion that nature is too strong forus? Why, Sir, it is the triumph of man to overcome the disabilities which natwe throws in hia way, It is the triumph of modern science, than which nothing hag been more wonderful in the history of the world, to overcome geographical difliculties, to over- come the disabilities of distance, te overcome the obstructions of physical difficu ties, and to overcome them in the unity ef countries and in the interest of the spread of commerce. And it appears ts me that it, in 1868, if in 1873, if in the years since then, the hon. gentleman did not feel that nature was so strong as todrive him to propose a heroic remedy, there is all the less reason to day to adduce that as an argument, and an argu- ment, as it seems to me, of an extraordinarily weak character. For betweea 1868 and this time, we have done what? We have inutro- duced Provinces that had no knowledge of each other to each other, and they have be- sone acquainted. We have made great lines o WATER COMMUNICATION,

than which no country possesses longer and better; we have built great lines of railway communication, which are channels and arteries for the commerce of this country, and which now extend from one side of the conti- nent to the other, and in all these ways we have put nature at a minimum of disadvan- tage, compared to the maximum of disadvan- tages that she has put us to in 1868. If it be true that we must never contend against na- ture, and that we must seek for our com. merce channels that run in geographical lines, then the history of the world has been teach- ing us a wrong lesson. Nature was strong between the eastern and southern and western parts of the United States, by means of the almost illimitable distances that eeparated them. Man triumphed over nature, and epanned the prairies of the United States with constantly extending lines of commerce. Na- ture stood strong, and vast, and rugged against the twe slopes of the United States, the western and the eastern slupe in the shape of a line of mountains that run down between these two sections. Modern science and modern enterprise tun- nelled those mountains, modern science and modern enterprise OVERCAME THOSE DIFFICULTIES,

and has introduced a strict and intimate rela lation of commerce between the east and middle States of the United States and the Western States, and between the eastern slope and the western slope. Scienee and enterprise have been at work in our Dominion of Canada, and, whereas the Pacific slope and
