Daisy’s Snow Thought.
DAISY.
Ol! mamma, tell your little girl, She does ¢o want to know !
What are those flossy things that whirl ? They cannot be the snow !
MAMMA.
Oh ! yes, my dear, the winter rain Congeals to downy snow,
And as cold weather comes again, The clouds dissolve, just so.
DAISY,
But, mamma, you have taught me, too, That angels fly about :
That's something they could never do If they were wings, without.
MAMMA.
My child, what have those wings, thongh white, To do with falling snow ? The angels stay in Heaven's light, While this lies here below.
DAISY.
But, mamma, in our chicken yard, I’ve heard you often tell,
How sometimes birds their down discard : Don’t angels moult as well?
MAMMA,
Perhaps! and, darling, if they do, They add a loving freight : So when their feathers come in view, Sweet child, believe and wait. RETSGAB.
THE PIRATE.
By Sir Walter Scott.
CHAPTER XXII.
(Continued )
“T have told vou before,” replied Cleve- land, ‘‘ that my family is totally unknown to me. I spent my earliest days upon a solitary plantation in the little island of Tortuga, under the charge of my father, then a differ. ent person from what he afterwards became. We were plundered by the Spandiards, and reduced to such extremity of poverty, that my father, in desperation, and in thirst of revenge, took up arms, and having become a chief of a Jittle band, who were in the same circumstances, became a bucannier, as it is called, and cruized against Sain, with various vicissitudes of good and bad fortune, until, while he interfered to check some violence of his companions, he fell by their
hands—no uncommon fate among the captains (
of these rovers. sBut whence my father came, or what was the place of his birth, I know not, fair Minna, nor have I ever had a curious thought on the subject.”
‘** He was a Briton, at least, your unfortu- ate father?” said Minna.
‘*] have no doubt of it,” said Cleveland; ‘his name, which I have rendered too formidable to be openly spoken, is an English one ; and his acquaintance with the English language, and even with English literature, together with the pains which be took, in better days, to teach me both, plainly spoke him to be an Englishman. If the rule bear- ing which I display towards others is not the genuine character of my mind and manners, it is to my father, Minna, that I owe any saare of better thoughts and principles, which may render me worthy, in some small degree, of your notice and appio- bation. And yet it sometimes seems to me, that I have two different characters ; for I cannot bring myself to believe, that I, who now walk this lone beach with the lovely Minna Troil, and am permitted to speak to her the passion which I have cherished, have ever been the daring leader of the boid band whose name was as terrible as a tornado,”
‘** You had not been permitted,” said Min- na, ‘‘to use that bold language towards the daughter of Magnus Troil, had you uot been the brave and undaunted leader. who, with so small means, has made his name so formidable. My heart is like that of a maiden of the an-
"{cient days, andis to be won, not by fair
words, but by gallant deeds,”
‘* Alas ! that heart,” said Cleveland; ‘‘and what is it that I may do—what is it that man can do, to win in it the interest which I de- sire 2”
‘** Rejein your friends—pursue your fortunes —leave the rest to destiny,” said Minna. ‘*Sheuld you return, the leader of a gallant fleet, who can tell what may befall ?”
‘* And what shall assure me that when | return—if return | ever shall—I may not tind Minna Troil a bride or a spouse? No, Minna, I will not trust to destiny the only object worth attaining, which my stormy voyage in life has yet offered me.”
* Hear me,” said Minna. ‘1 will bind my- self to you, if you dare accept such an engage- ment, by the promise of Odin, the most sacred of our northern rites which are yet practised among us, that I will never favor ancther, until you resign the pretensions which I have given to you. Will that satisfy you ?—for more 1 cannot—more 1 will not
ive.
‘Then with that,” said Cleveland, after a moment's pause, ‘‘ I must perforce be satisfied —-but remember, it is yourself that throw me back upon « mode of life which the laws of Britain denounce as criminal, and which the violent passions of the daring men by whom it is pursued, have rendered infamous,”
‘« But 1,” said Minna, ‘‘am superior to such prejudices. In warring with England, I see their laws in no other iight than as if you were engaged with any enemy, who, in full- ness of pride and power, has declared he will give his antagonist no quarter. A brave man wil not fight the worse for this ;—and, for the manners of your comrades, so that they do not iatect your own, why should their evil report attach to you?’
Cleveland gazed at her as she spoke, with a degree of wondering admiration, in which, at the same time, there lurked a srnile at her simplicity.
**T eonld not,” ‘‘ have believed that such high conrage could have been found united with such ignorance of the world, as the world is now wielded. For my mamners, they who best know me will readily allow, that | have dene my best, at the risk of my popular ity, and of my life itself, to mitigate the ferocity of my mates; but how cay you teach humanity to mtn berateg with Vemgvanve
oe the world by whom they are proserib- ed, or teach them temperance and moderation in enjoying the pleasures which chance throws in their way, to vary a life which would be otherwise one constant scene of peril and hardship?—But this promise, Minna—this promise, which is all lam to receive in guer- don for my faithful attachment—let me at least lose no time in claiming that.”
“It must not be rendered here but in Kirkwall_—We must invoke, to witness the engagement, the Spirit
which presides over the ancient circie of Stennis, But perhaps you fear to name the ancient Father of the Slain too, the Severe, the Terrible.”
Cleveland smiled.
** Do me the justice to think, lovely Minna, that Iam little subject to fear real ciuses of terror; and for those which are visionary, 1 have nosympathy whatever.”
**You believe not in them, Minna, ‘‘and areso far better Brenda’s lover than mine.”
**T will believe,” replied Cleveland, ‘‘ in whatever you believe. ‘he whole inhabitants of that Valhalla, about which you converse so much with that fiddling, rhyming fool Claud Halero all these shal) become living and ex- isting things to my credulity. But, Minna, do not ask me to fear any of them.”
‘* Fear! no—not to fear them, surely,” re- plied the maiden; *‘ for, not betore Thor or Odin, when they approached in the fulness of their terror, did the heroes of my dauntiless race yield one foot in retreat. Nor doI own them as Deities—a better faith prevents so foulanerror. But, in our own conception, they are powerful spivits for good or evil. And when you boast not to fear them, bethink that you defy an enemy of a kind you have never yet encountered. ”
‘** Not in these northernlatitudes, ” said the lover with a smile, ‘‘ where hitherto [ have seen but angels ; but have faced, in my time, the demons of the equinoctial line, which we rovers suppose to be as powerful and as malig. nant as those of the North.”

The Bishopric of Nova Scotia. The Halifax Recorder reports that Archdea- con Gilpin has received a despatch from the Archbishop of Canterbury requesting that documents be forwarded under the hand and seal of the Registrar of the diocese, showing that the meetings of the synod to elect a Bishop have been legally called, and all pro- ceedings in connection therewith regular, and also requiring a guarantee that the gentle- man whom the Bishops may select for the vacant bishopric will be accepted by the synod, as competent candidates refuse to have their names considered unless this guarantee is given. The Archdeacon, in reply, sent a telegram stating that it would be illegal to give such a guarantee, but that it was gener- ally understuod at the lest meeting of the synod that the nominee of the bishop would be accepted. The Archdeacon also referred to the fact that the synod had adjourned to the first day of February, and it would bea great disappointment if a nomination was not made on that day.

The Paradise, N. 8., correspondent of the Halifax Herald writes, (Dec. 17.) ** An old woman, who has been a familiar character in this locality for a number of years, was found dead aside of the road, near tho Paradise Cheese F. ctory yesterday morning. A half emptied bottle containing bad whisky was near her. She wasa hard working but un- fortunate old woman, Shé must have reached her allotted three score years and ten.”

A man who has just been released from the Nebraska State Prison, where he has served a term, has sued the lawyer who de- fended him in the trial that resu’ted in his conviction. The ex-convict claims that the conviction was the result of the lawyer's malpractice, and he wants $30,000 damages.
The by-election record since February last is particularly interesting just now. Here it is :—

The election in Boston last week resulted in the return of Mayor O’Brien by a great- ly reduced plurality, the defeat of all the candidates for aldermen but two on the regular democratic ticket, the triumph of all the candidates on the democratic echool ticket, with a single exception, and an in- creased majority in favor of licensing the sale of intoxicating liquors. The complexion of the common council remains the same as last year, 43 democrats and 29 republicans.
Mayor O’Brien’s plurality is 5139, against 4663 last year. The exact figures are ; O’Brien, 26,640; Hart, 25,201. The
figures on the license question are: For, 26,576; no, 18,064; majority for license,
8483, as agaist 8487 last year, 0319 in
1885, and 18,388 in 1883 in 1884.
