THE PIRATE

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXXV.

“Ileft my poor plough to go ploughing the

deep !” Denon,

When the Provost and Cleveland had re- turned into the public council-room, the for- mer retired a second time with such of his brethren as he thought proper to advise with; ant, while they were engaged in discussing Cleveland’s proposal, refreshments were oifered to him and his ple. These the Captain permitted his people te partake of, but with the greatest precaution against sur- prisal, one party relieving the guard, whilst the others were at their food.

He, himself, in the meanwhile, walked up- and down the apartment, and conversed upon different subjects with those present like a person quite at his ease.

Amongst those individals he saw, somewhat to his surprise, Triptolemus Yellowley, who, chancing to be at Kirkwall, had been sum. moned by the Magis:rates, as representative, in a certain degree, of the Lord Chamberlain, to attend council on this oceasion. Cleveland immediately renewed the acquaintance which he had formed with the agiiculturist at Burgh-Westra, and asked iim his present business in Orkney.

** Just to look after some of my little plans, Captain Cleveland. 1 am weary of fighting with wild beasts at. Ephesus yonder, and | just cam ower to see how my orchard was thriving, whilk 1 had planted four or five miles from Kirkwail, it may be a year by-gane, aud how the bees were thriving, whereof I had imported nine skeps, or the improvement of the country, and for the turnivg of the heather-bloom into wax and honey.”

** And they thrive, Lhope?” said Cleveland, who, however little interested in the matter, sustained the conversation, as if to break the chilly and embarrassed. silence which hung upon the company assembled.

“Thrive!” replied Triptolemus ; ‘“ they thrive like everything else in this country, and that is the backward way.”

land,

‘‘The contrary, sir, quite and clean the contrary,” replied the Factor ; ‘‘they died of ower muckle care like Lucky Christie’s chick- ens. —I asked to see the skeps, and cunning and joyful did the fellow look who was to have taken care of them—‘Had there been ony body in charge but mysell,’ he said, ‘ ye might have seen the skeps, or whatever you ca’ them; but there wad hae been as mony solan geese as flees in them, if it hadna been for my four quarters ; for 1 watched them so closely, that I saw them a’ creeping out of the little holes one sunny morning, and if I had not stopped the leak on the instant with a bit clay, the deil a bee, ‘or flee, or whatever ‘they are, would have been left in the skeps, as ye ca’ them !"—In @ word, sir, he had clagged up the hives, as if the puir things had had the pestilence, and my bees were as dead as if they had been smoked—and so ends my hope, generandi gloria mellis, as Virgilius hath it.”

**There is an end of your mead, then,” re- plied Cleveland ; ‘‘ but what is your chance of cider ?—How does the orchard thrive ?”

“*O Captain! this same Solomon of the Oreadian Ophir—I am sure no man need to sent hither to fetch either talents of gold or tal- talents of sense! I say this wise man watered the young apple trees, in his great tenderness, with hot water, and they are perished, root and branch? But what avails growling?— and I wish you would tell me, instead, what is all the din that these good folks are making about pirates? and what for are all these ill- looking men, tht are armed like so mony Highlandmen, assembled in the judgment- chamber ?—for I am just come from the other side of the Island, and I have heard nothing distinct about it. And now I look at you yourself, Captain, I think you have mair of those foolish pistolets about you than should suffice an honest man in quiet times.”

“‘And so I think, too,” said the pacific Tri- ton, old Haagen, who had _ been an unwilling follower of the daring Montrose; “if you had been in the Glen of Edderachyllis, when we were sae sair worried by Sir John Worry—”

* You have forgot the whole matter, neigh- bor Haagen,” said the Factor; ‘Sir John Urray was on your side and was ta’en with Montrose; by the same token, he lost his head.”

“Did he?” said the Triton. “I believe you may be right; for he changed sides mair than ance, and wha kens whilk he died for? But always he was there, and so was I:—a fight there was, and I never wish to see an- other!”

The entrance of the Provost here interrup- ted their desultory conversation. ‘* We have determined,” he said, ‘Captain, that your ship shall yo round to Stromness, or Scalpa-flow, to take in stores, in order that there may be no more quar- 1e] between the Fair folks and your seamene And as you to stay Gn shore to see the Fair, we intend to send a respectable gentleman on board your vessel to pilot her round the Mainland, as the navigation is but ticklish.”

** Spoken like a guiet and sensible magist- traae, Mr. Mayor,” said Cleveland, ‘‘ and no otherwise than as I expected.—And what gentleman is to honour our, quarter-deck during my absence ?”

** We have fixed that, too, Captain Cleve- Jand,” said the Provost; ‘‘ you may be sure we were each more desirous than another to go upon so pleasant a voyage, and in such good company ; but being Fair time, most of us have some affairs in hand—I myself, in respect of my office. cannot be well spared —the eldest Builie’s wife is lying in—the Treasurer does uot agree with the sea—two Bailies have the gout the other two are absent from town—and the other fifteen members of council are all engaged on practical business.”

** All that I can tell yeu, Mr. Mayor,” said Cleveland, raising his voice, ‘is that I expect——” ;

‘*A moment’s patieuce, if you please, Captain,” said the Provost, interrupting him —‘* So that we have come to the resolution that our worthy Mr. Triptclemus Yellowley who is Factor to the Lord Chamberlian of these islands, shali, in respeci of these official situation, be referred to the honour and pleasure of accompanying you.”

‘** Me!" said the astonished Triptolemas; ‘* what the devil should I do going on your voyage ?—my business is on dry land !”

“* The gentlemen want a pilot,” said the Provost, whispering to him, ‘‘and there is no eviting to give them one.”

Cardigan Notes. ‘Trade at Cardigan Bridge is quiet this winter, and nothing startling has occurred for some time.

Some little excitement was occasioned last week by the success which attended the efforts of our local fishermen, who made some fine catches of trout near Alley’s Mills. Young Gillies caught one that measured 18 inches long, and girted 10 inches, and several lots, averaging 14 to 14 pounds in weight were taken.

The good ice last week brought out some of the *‘ flyers ” owned in this vicinity, and quite a trot took place on Friday between Holbrook’s, McCormack’s and Norton’s horses. Norton’s brown horse ‘Charlie ” proved too much for his opponents, with McCormack’s a good second. Another race is now spoken of, and likely some lively betting will be indulged in.

The necessity of having some kind of a railway along the street from Capt. Me- Donald’s wharf to Morson & Morgui’s, is daily shown during icy roads like we have at present. It is absolutely dangerous to drive along that part of the road, as sleighs and even horses can hardly be kept from going over the bank on to the ice.

Owing to the prevalence of measles, the School was closed for some time, but is now again in operation under Mr. George Dewar and Miss Cummiskey, who are efti- cient and painstaking teachers.

The stone cutting works of Messrs. Lewis & Son are constantly turning out first-class monuments for those who have joined the great majority, and we understand that the excellent workmanship displayed has enabled this enterprising form to secure orders for some of the most costly works of

this kind ever erected on the Island.

Cardigan, Feb. 27, 1888.

A Modern Rip Van Winkle. HERMAN HARMS BAS SLEPT ELEVEN YEARS, AND ISN'T THROUGH YET.

The case of Herman Harms, a Buffalo county, Wisconsia, farmer, who has enjoy- ed a Rip Van Winkle sleep of eleven years, completely puzzles the physicians. In 1c7/ Harms moved there from iJlinoia, taking a farm on the Mississippi Riyer, opposite Winopa, in Utica township. While attending his sick wife one day, he sudden- ly fell asleep and dropped to the floor. He was picked up by his friends and placed upon the bed, and has not since been off it. He sleeps soundly all day, and at 9 or 10 o'clock in the evening, rises, takes a little nourishment and at once lies down and goes to sleep again. During the time he is awake he pays no attention to anybody, but drinks a little soup or coffee without making any remarks, and at once goes sound to sleep. His sleep is quiet and without any apparent pain or discomfort.

When he first fell asleep he weighed 180 pounds, but he has now dwindled to ninety pounds. His pulse is regular and very strong, rather more vigorous than the pulse of the average wide-awake man. His head is very warm, while the flesh of his body is cold. and has the appearance of a dead man’s flesh. While he sleeps one hand is closed tightly in front of him, and the other pressed firmly against his right temple, and he invariably sleeps in the same position, His eyelids are seen to blink very fast at times as if the light hurt them.

The opinions of physicians as to his trouble are various. Some say it is kidney troable, some say he is crazy and others assert that his heart is in a dormant state and that he will never recover from his present condition. Mr. Harms is forty- nine years old, and up to the time he was taken ill, in 1877, had not been sick a day in his life. He has five children.

When the story of his peculiar ailment was first published it was so ridiculed that no one took the trouble to investigate the case. It is a fact that this man has slept eleven years, and only once has he dressed himself and gone out of the house. The doctors say he will soon die, because he is losing flesh so fast. At the time he awoke in 1882, he was told he was sleeping for four years, but he would not believe it. He was Jed to the mirror, and when he saw his gray whiskers and long hair his surprise was very great. His hair, which has not been cut, is now over two feet long and very black. His flesh is of a yellow color and is very flabby. Harms went to the United States from Hanover in 1869.

Apvice To MorTHers.— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as ‘“‘bright asa button.” It is very pleasant wo taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all

The man who would steal the ccins from a dead man’s eyes has turned up in Michi- gan. He took the silver pieces and sub- stituted coppers in their places. Some new adage will now have to be invented to illustrate the summit of human meanness.

Senator Hawley is the most rapid speak- er in the U.8S. Congress. He speaks at an average rate of from 216 to 225 words a minute ; 120 words a minute is the average rate of public speakers.

Philosophers have noticed that when a man makes up his mind that he has got_to practice economy, he generally tries to be- gin with his wife’s expenses.
