THE PIRATE,

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXIL (Continued )

“| thought over my former victory,” said Cleveland, ‘‘and saw that eeeming more brave, skilful and enterprising than others, bad gaincd me command and respect, and that seeming more gently nurture‘l,and more civiliz- ed than they, had made them envy and hate me as being of another species. I bargained with myself, then, that since 1 could not lay aside my superiority of intellect and educa- tion, I would do my best to disguise, and to sink io the rude seaman, all appearance of better feeling and better accomplishments. I foresaw then what has since happened, that, under the appearance of caring obduracy, I should acquire such a habitual commaud over my followers, that I mig)t use it for the in- surance of discipline, and for relieving the dis- tresses of the wretches who fell under our power. I saw, in short, that, to attain authority, 1 must assume the external sembl- ance, st least, of those over whom it was to be exercised. ‘The tidings of my father’s fate, while it excited me to wrath and to re- venge, confirmed the resolution I had adopt- ed. He also had fallen a victim to his superiority of mind, morals and manners, above those whom he commanded. They were wont to callhim the’ Gentleman ; and anquestionably, they thought he waited some favorable opportunity to reconcile himself, per- haps at their expense, to those existing forms of society his habits seemed best to suit with, and, even therefore, they murdered him. Nature and justice alike called en me for reveng?. I was soon at the head of a new body of adventurers, who are so numerous in those islands I sought not after those by whom | had been myself marooned, but after the wretches who had betrayed my father ; and on them I took a revenge so severe, that it was of itself sufficient to stamp me with the character of that inexorable ferocity which [ was «lesirous to be thought to possess, and which, perhaps, was gradually creeping on my natural disposition in actual earnest. My manner, speech and conduct seemed so totally changed, that thosefwho formerly knew me were Cisposed to ascribe the alteration to my intercourse with the demons who haunted the sands of Coflin-key; nay, there were some superstitious enough to believe that 1 had formed a league with them.”

‘‘T tremble to hear the rest,” said Minna ; “ did you not become the moaster of courage and cruelty whose character you assumed %

“If I have escaped being so, itis to you,

Minna,” replied Cleveiand, ‘“‘that the wonder must be ascribed. it is true, I have always endeavored to

distinguish myself rather by acts of adventur- ous valor, than by schemes of revenge or of plunder, and that at length I could save lives by a rude jest, and sometimes, by the excess o! the measures which I myself proposed, could induce those under me to intercede in favor of prisoners ; so that the seeming sever- ity of my character has better served the cause of humanity than had I appeared direct!y devoted to it.’

He veased, and as Minna replied not a word both remained silent for a little space, when Cleveland again resumed the discourse.

“You are silent,” he said, ‘Miss Troil, and I have injured myself in your opinion by the frankness with which I have laid my character before you. Imay truly say that my natural disposition has been controlled, but not altered, by the untoward circumstances in which 1 am placed.”

‘‘T am uncertain,” said Minna, aftera moment’s consideration, ‘‘whether you had been thus candid, had you not known I should soon see your comrades, and discover, from their conversation and their manners, what you would otherwise gladly bave concealed.”

“You do me injustice, Minna, cruel in- justice. From the instant that you knew me to be a sailor of fortune, an adventurer, 4 bucaneer, or, if you will have the broad$word, 4 PIRATE, what had you to expect less than! what I have told you?”

‘‘ You speak too truly,’ said Minna—** al) this | might have anticipated, and I know not how ! should have expected it otherwise, But it seemed to me that a war on the cruel and superstitious Spaniards ‘had in it something ennobling—something that refined the fierce employment to which you have just now given its true and dreadeii name. I thought that the independent wavriors of the Western Oceai, raised up, asic were, to punish the wrongs of so many murdered and plundered tribes, must have had something of gallant elevation, like that of the Sons of the North,

whose long galleys avenged on so many coasts the oppressions of degenerate Rome. This I} thouzht, and this 1 dreamed—I grieve that 1) am awakened and uadeceived. Yet | blame | you not for the erring of my own fancy. — | Farewell ; we must now part.” ‘* Say at least, ’ said Cleveland, ‘‘ that you} do not hold me in horror for having told you| the truth.” «“{ must have time for reflection,” said Minna, ‘time to weigh what you have said ere } can fully understand my own feelings. This much, however, I can say even now, that he who pursues the wicked purpose of plunder | by means of blood and cruelty, and who must veil his remains of natural remorse under an | affectation of superior profligacy, is not, and | cannot be, the lover whom Minna 1 roil } expected to find in Cleveland ; and if she still loves him it must be as a penitent, and not as a hero.” ) Se saying, she extricated herself from kis grasp, (for he still endeavored to detain her), | making an imperative sign to him to forbear fror: -following her—‘‘She’s gone,” said Cleveland, looking after her; “‘wild and fanciful as she is, 1 expected not this.—She, startled not at the name of my perilous course | of life, yet seems totally unprepared for the evil which must necessarily attend it; and so all the merit 1 have gained by my resemblance to a Norse Champion, or King of the Sea,

is to be lost at once, because a gang of pirates do not prove to be a choir of saints. I would that Rackem, Haw-

kins, and the rest, had heen at the bottom of the ‘Race of Portland—Il would the Pentland Frith had swept them to hel] rather than to Orkney! E will not, however, quit the chase of this angel for all thet these fiends can do. I will—l must to Orkney before the Udaller mal.es his voyage thither—oar meeting might alarm even his blunt understanding, although, thank Heaven, in this wild country men know

the nature of our trade only by hearsay, through our honest friends the Dutch, who take care never to speak very ill of those they make money by. Well, if fortune would but stand my friend with this beautiful enthusiast { would pursue her wheel no farther at sea, but set myself down amonst these rocks as happy asif they were so many groves of bananas and palmettoes.”’

With these and such thoughts half rolling in his bosom, half expressed in indistinct hints and murmurs, the pirate Cleveland returned to the mansion of Burgh- Westra.

(To be continued.)

Dr. Schurman.

In the Cornell Sun of the 6th December, published daily by the students of Cornell university, is given a pen sketch of Dr. Schurman. It is exceedingly complimentary. After speaking of the personal appearance, manner and voice of the Professor, the article closes with the following flattering remarks :

‘* Professor Schurman is a born orator. He cannot speak unless he speaks eloquently. Thongh evidently fitted by nature for his chosen profession, philosophy, one cannot help but speculate upon what a force he might be in the forum, the courtroom or in legisla

tive halls. He speaks etttirely without notes or manuscript. He has no equal as a lecturer in Cornell univers-

ity, and it has been said, by one who has had an adequate opportunity to know, that he has no equal in any American college. Professor Schurman is a young man, we should judge, scarcely 35 years of age. He has had the best advantages offered in Eng- land, Scotland and on the continent for the study of philosophy. His career as a student and a teacher has been, indeed, a brilliant one. Blessed as he is with unimpaired health and great endurance, his life promises to be a long one. His real work has just begun and his fame is as yet limited, but he is a man from whom we may expect much.

‘* Noah Porter has ceased his active The venerable Dr. McCosh is on the eve of retirement. The younger school of American researchers in philosophy must soon lead among them, and there is none of greater promise than Jacob Gould Schurman, :

labor.

i To Victor Hugo's Faith.

When this revered poet of France was past fourscore years, he gave expression to his religious faith in these sublime senten- cos. ‘I feel in myself the future life. I am like a forest which has been more than once cut down. The new shoots are strong- er and livelier than ever. I am rising, I know, towards the sky. The sunshine is on my head. The earth gives me its gen- erous sap, but heaven lights me with the reflection of unknown worlds. You say the soul is nothing but the resultant of bodily powers. Why, then, is my soul the more luminous when my bodily powers begin to fail? Winter ison my head, and eternal spring isin my heart. Then | breathe at this hour, the fragrance of the lilacs, the violets and the roses as at twenty years. The nearer I approach the end the plainer | hear around me the immortal symphonies of the world which invite me. It is mar- vellously simple. it is a fairy tale, and it is history. For half a century | have been writing my thoughts in prose, verse, his- tory, philosophy, drama, romance. tradi- tion, satire, ode, song—I have tried all. But J feel that I have not said the thou- sandeth part of what isin me. When | go down to the grave, I can say, like so many others, ‘1 have finished my day’s work ;' but I cannot say, ‘I have finished my life.’ My day’s work will begin again the next morning. The tomb is not a blind alley; it is a thoroughfare. It closes in the twilight to open with the dawn. I| improve every hour because | love this world as my father- land. My work is only a beginning. My monument is hardly above its foundation. I would be glad to see it mounting and mounting forever. The thirst for the infi- nite proves infinity.”
