THE PIRATE.
By Sir Walter Scott.
CHAPTER XXXVIL. (Continued )
’ He lifted up his eyesas he spoke, and Minna Toil stood before him. Her face was pale, and her hair dishevelled ; but her look was com and firm, with its usual expression of high-minded melancholy. She was still shrouded in a large mantle which she had assumed on leaving the vessel. Cleve- land's first «motion was astonishment; his next was joy, not unmixed with awe. He would have exclaimed—he would have thrown himself at her feet—but she imposed at once silence and composure on him, by raising her finger, and saying, in a low but’ commanding accen’.--‘' Be cautions—we are observed— there are men without—they let me enter with difficulty. I dare not remain long— they would think—they might believe Oh, Cleveland! I have hazarded’ every thing tu save you !” ‘
‘lo save me?—Alas! poor Minna!” an- swered Cleveland, ‘* to save me is impossible. Enough that I have seen you once more, were it but to say, for ever farewell !”
‘*We must, indeed, say farewell,” said Minna; ‘for, fate, you are guilty, has divided us for ever,—Cleveland, Thave seen yous associates—nieed I tell you more ; need
say, that I know now what a pirate is?”
‘“ You have heen in the ruffians’ power,” said Cleveland, with a start of agony. Did they presume——” |
‘* Cleveland,” said Minna, ‘‘they presumed nothing—-your name was a spell over them. By the pewer of that spell over those feroci- ous banditti and by that alone, I was remind- ed of the qualities I once thought my Cleve- land’s.”’
‘* Yes,” said Cleveland, proudly, “ my name has and shall have power over them, when they are at the wildest; and, had they harmed you by one rude word, they should have found—Yet what do I rave about—I am a prisoner!”
** You shall be so no longer,” said Minna. — ‘* Your safety—the safety of my dear father —all demand your instant freedom. I have formed a scheme for your liberty, which, boldly executed, cannot fail. The light is fading without—muffle yourself in my cloak, and you will easily pass the guards—I have given them the means of carousing, and they are deeply engaged. Haste to the Loch of Stennis, and hide yourself till day dawns; then make a smoke on the point, where the land, stretching into the lake on each side, divides it nearly in two at the Bridge of Brois- gar. Your vessel, Which Ties not fardistant, will send a boat ashore. Do not hesitate an instant !”
“But you, Minna! Shonld this wild scheme succeed?” said Cleveland, ‘* what is to become of you?”
‘*For my share in your escape,” answered the maiden, ‘‘ the honesty of my own inten- tion will vindicate me in the sight of Heaven; and the safety of my father, whose fate de- pends on yours, will be my excuse to man.”
In a few words she gave him the history of their capture, and its consequences, Cleve- land cast up his eyes and raised his hands to Heaven, in thankfullness for the escape of the sisters from his evil companions, aud then hastily added: ‘‘ But you are right, Minna; I must fly at all rates—for your father's sake I must fly. Here, then, we part—yet not, I trust, for ever.”
‘* For ever!” answered a voice, that sound- ed as from a sépulchral vault.
They started, looked around them, and then It seemed as if the
land’slast words, but the pronunciation was too emphatically accented,
** Yes, for ever |" said Norna, of the Fitful- head, stepping forward from behind one of the massive Saxon pillars which Zsupport the roof of the Cathedral. ‘‘ Here meet the crimson foot arid the crimson hand. Well for both that the wound is healed whence that) crimson was derived—well for both, but best for him who shed it. Here, then, you meet— and meet for the last time.”
** Not so,” said Cleveland, as if about to take Minna’s hand ; ‘‘ to separate me from Minna, while I have life, must be the word of herself alone.” er
‘‘Away!” said Norna, stepping betwixt them, ‘‘away with such idle folly !—Nourish no vain dreams of future meetings . you part here, and you part for ever. The hawk pairs not with the dove; guilt matches not with innocence.—Minna Troil, you look for the last time on this bold and criminal man— Cleveland, you behold Minna for the last time !”
** And dream you,” said Cleveland, indig- nantly, *‘ that your mummery imposes on me, and that Lam among the fools that see more than trick in your pretended art?”
“ Forbear, Cleveland, forbear!” said Minna, her hereditary awe ot Norna augment- ed by the circumstance of her sudden appear- ance. ‘Oh, forbear!—she is powerful—she is out too powerful.—And do you, O Norna, remember ray father’s safety is linked with Cleveland’s.”
« And it is well for Cleveland that I do re- memember it,” replied the Pythoness—‘“‘ and that, for the sake of one, I am here to aid both. You, with your childish purpose, of passing one of his bulk and stature under the disguise of a few pzliry folds of wadmal— what would your device have procured him but instant,restraint with bolt and shackle ? —I will save him—I will place him im secur- ity on board his bark. But let him renounce these shores for ever, and carry else vhere the terrors of his sable flag, and his yet blacker name ; for if the sun rises twice, and finds him still at anchor, his blood be on his own head. —Ay, look to each other—look the last look that I permit to frail affection,—and say, if you can say it, Farewell for ever.
“« Obey her,” stammered Minna; “‘ remon- strate not, but obey her.” alk
Cleveland, grasping her hand, and kissing it ardently, said, but so low that she only could hear it, §‘‘ Farewell, Minna, but not for ever.”
‘* And now, maiden, begone,” said Norna, “and leave the rest to the Reimkennar.”

British Agricultural Returns.
The agricultura) ‘returns for the United Kingdom for last . year issued recently show that the estimated total uce of wheat for the year was 76,224,040 bushels, oran increase of 12,877,055 bushels as compared with 1886. The yield of barley decreased by 8,361,341 bushels. Oats decreased by 18,586,672 bushels, and beans decreased by 20,174,440 bushels, peas decreased 250,091 bushels, turnips de- creased 11,490,538 tons; and mangolds decreased 1,907,483 tons; while potatoes increased by 1,291 tons; the chief increase being iu Ireland. The quantity of hay raised was 2,010,700 tons less.

The Scottish Fisheries.
The Scottish Fishery Board has issued its report on the result of the January fishing. From this it appears that the total revenue in January was £101,488, an increase of £9,250 over the same month of last year. The white fishing has supplied the greater portion of this sum, haddock having coa- tributed £38,133, and cod £16,399. The berring fishing, however, is still a very im- portant industry, and represents no less than £21,178 of the month’s total. Leith is first among the fishing stations with the value of its takes, the Firth of Forth men having drawn £13,750 worth of fish from the sea during the month, Aberdeen is next with £10,587, Anstruther third with £10,429, and Wick fourth with £10,188. Stornoway is far down in the list, the total of the Lewis fishings during the month being set down at £1,687 ; but February appears to be an unusually successful month for that station, although the official — for last month are not yet pub-
ished. _——P—-o- ae
Russian Railway Cars.
The Russian railway cars are made of iron throughout—the walls, the root, the floor, and the partitions. Even the window- sashes are made of metal. Theré is no wood about them excep! the finishings. The plates are not more than half an inch thick, so that the cars are light as well as substantial, and there is no rattling sound. When the plates get loose they are taken to the shops and tightened. The exterior is painted an indigo blue and handsomely varnished, but there i Wetton de- coration. The interi e luxuricus, the walls being covered with white silk brocade and the long sofas which extend across the compartments at right angles with the car, being upholstered in the richest Russia leather. The sofas are as comfortable as Turkish easy chairs, and when one sinks down into them he thinks of the hot and hard seats he is accustomed to at home. The second-class cars are finished in plush, in « similar way, only the sofas have parti- tions so that one cannot lie down, and there is ordinary paper vn the walls, The third-class cars are perfectly plain, with seats running lengthwise and uncushioned.

Farm Mortgages.
If the occupation of the Canadian farmer is not as profitable as it might be, or if farm mortgages in this country are more plentiful than they should be, the evils are not local bit general. In the States the farmers borrow largely. A statement from the Farmers’ Review, of Chicago, which is going the rounds, shows that a large per- centage vf farmers in the Middle ani West- ern States are under mortgage at the pre- sent time. Summarized by States, the following figures are given: —
Ohio. —Forty-five counties report, an aver- age of 23 per cent. of farms under mortgages.
Indiana.—Thirty-seven counties report 26 per cent. of farms mortgaged,
Illinois. —Seventy-tive counties report 27 per cent, of farms mortgaged.
lowa.—Sixty nine counties report an aver- age of 44 per cent. of farms mo
Nebraska.—Thirty counties report an aver- of 51 per cent. of farms poregnanie *SWisconsin.— Twenty-five counties report 32 per cent. mo ed. é Michigan.—Twenty-six counties report an average of 50 per cent, of farms mortgaged. Kentucky.—-Eighteen counties report an
average of 23 per cent. of farms mortgaged. Dakata.—Twenty-seven counties report 59
per cent. of farms mortgaged.
The proportion of farms vena in the Eastern States is still larger. e do not believe there are many farming com- munities in this Province where one-half of the farm property is mortgaged; but in some of the Western States it is the fre- quent habit to mortgage the growing crop as well as the land, and so general is this practice becoming—especially in Kansas— that legislation has been suggested to make such mortgages illegal.—Hxchange.
Hot Water Drinking Denounced.
Three days of rest to that tortured stomach, and a few drops of nux vomica tincture, cured that victim to amateur treatment, and gave me a text for this advice: lf hot water is everof any value when swallowed, it must be by virtue of its heat alone; for, below life temperature (98 deg. Fahrenheit), it is a fair emetic ; above that, it is a sharp stimulant—so sharp, indeed, as to be "badly borne by 4 majority of stomachs. Hot or cold, it is ever a bad plan to drink quantities of fluid. Taken before meals, they dilute ferments into debility ; after eating, they seriously impede chyle formation by. washing out too quickly unassimilsted nutritive fluid.
It isa maxim of modern surgery that heated applications to mucous surfaces cause congestion in a secondary way ; that, following sharp stimulus and contraction comes a generai relaxation of blood vessels,
that fill lazily and remain distended from lack of soot to propel blood forward. So I condemn the practice of drinking hot water, unqualifiedly.—Dr. W. F. Hutchiscn
