THE PIRATE.

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXXVI. (Continued )

‘*D——n me,” eaid Bunce, who easily con- jectured what was passing in the mind of his prisoner—‘‘ that pause would have told well on the stage—it would have brought down pit, box and gallery, egad, as Bayes has it.”

**T will hear nothing of Bayes,”’ said Claud Halcro, (himself a little elevated,) ‘‘ it is an impudent satire on glorious John; but he tickled Buckingham off for it,—

“In the first rank of these did Zimi stand ; A man 80 various—-~”

‘** Hold your peace !” said Bunce, drownin the voice of the admirer of Dryden in lender and more vehement asseveratlun, ‘‘the Re- hearsal is the best farce ever was written- and I'll make him kiss the gunner’s deughter that deniesit. D-n me, I was the best Prince Prettyman ever walked the boards—

‘Sometimes a fisher’s son, sometimes a prince.’

But let us to business. Hark ye, old gentle. man,” (to Magnus,) ** you have a sort of suiki- ness about you, for which some of my profes- sion would cut your ears out of your head, and broil them for your dinner with :ed pep. r. Ihave known Goffe doso toa poor devil for looking sour and dangerous when he saw his sloop go to Davy Jones's locker with his only son on board. But I'm a spirit of another sert ; and if you or the ladies are ill- used, it shali be the Kirkwall peeple’s fault, and not mine, and that’s fair; aud so you had better let them know your condition, and your circumstances, and so forth,—ard that’s fair, too.”

Magnus, thus exhorted, took up the pen, and attempted to write ; but his high spirit so struggled with his paternal anxiety, that his hand refused its office. ‘I canmot help it,” he said, after one or two illegible attempts to write—I cannot form a letter, if all our lives depended upon it.”

And he could not, with his utmost efforts, suppresa the convulsive emotions which he experienced, but that they agitated his whole frame. The willow which bends to the tem- peat often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so, in great calamities, it some- times happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character, In the present case Claud Halero was for- tunately able to perform the task which the deeper feelings of his friend and patron refused, He took the pen, and, in as few words as poasible, explained the situation in which they were placed, and the eruel risks to which they were exposed, insinuating at the same time, as delicately as he could express it, that, to the magistrates of the the country, the life and honor of its citizens should be a dearer object than even the apprehension or punishment of the guilty; taking care, however, to qualify the last expression as much as possible, for fear of giving umbrage to the pirates.

Bunce read over the letter, which fortunate- ly met his approbation ; and, on seeing the name of Claud Halcro at the bottom, he exclaimed, in great oe and with more energetic expressions of asseveration than we choose to record—‘* Why, you are the little fellow that played the fiddle to old Manager Gadabout’s company, at Hogs Norton, the first season I came out there! I thought I knew your catchword of glorious John.”

Atanother time this recognition might not have been very grateful to Halcro’s minstrel pride; but as matters stood with him, the discovery of a golden mine could not have made kim more happy. He _ instantly remembered the very hopeful young perform- er who came out in Don Sebastian, and judiciously added, that the muse of glorious John had never. received such excellent support during the time that he was first (he might have added, and only) violin to Mr. Gadabout’s company.

“Why, yes,” said Bunce, ‘‘I believe you are right. I might have shaken the scene as well as Booth or Betterton either. But I was destin- ed to figure on other ooards,” (striking his foot upon the deck) ‘‘ and I think I must stick by them, till I find no board at all to support me. But now, old acquaintance, I will do something for you--slue yourself this way a bit—I would have you soluce.” They leaned over the taffrail, while Bunce whispered with more seriousness than he usually shewed. ‘I am sorry for this honest old heart of Norway pine—blight me if I am not—and for the daughters, too—besides, I have my own rea- sons for befriending one of them. I can be a wild fellow with a willing lass of the game; but to such decent and innocent creatures— d—~-—n me, 1 am Scipio at Numantia, Alexan- der in the tent of Darius. You remember how I touch off Alexander!” (here he stai ted into heroics :-—

‘Thus from the grave I rise to save my love ; A]! draw your swords, with wings of lightning When Irush on, sure none will dare to say— ‘Tis beauty calls, and glory shews the way.”

Claud Halcro failed not to bestow the neces sary commendations on his declamation, de- claring that in his opinion as an honest man, he had always thought Mr. Altamont’s giv- ing that speech far superior in tone and energy to Betterton.

Bunce, or Altamont, wrung his hand ten- derly. ‘‘Ah, you flatter me, my dear friend,” he said; ‘‘yet, why had not the public some of your judgment! I should not then have been at this pass. Heaven knows, my dear Mr. Halero, Heaven knows with what plea- sure I could keep you on board with me, just that I might have one friend who loves as much to hear, as I do to recite, the choicest pieces of our finest dramatic authors. The mosts of us are beasts—and, for the Kirkwall hostage yonder, he uses me, egad, as | use Fetcher, 1 think, and huffs me the more, the more 1 de for him. But how delightful would it be im a tropic night, when the ship was hanging on the reeze,with a broad and steady sail. for me to rehearse Alexander, with you for my pit, box and gallery! Nay, (for you are a follower of the muses, as I remember,) who knows but you and I might be the means of inspiring, like Orpheus and Eurydice, a pure taste into our companions, and softening their manners, while we excited their better feelings?”

This was spoken with so much unction, that Claud Halero began to be afraid he had both made the actual punch over potent, and mixed too many bewitching ie nedhente in the ~ of flattery which he had_ adminis ihe that, under the icBotate of bdth pd the

sentimental pirate might detain him by force, merely to realize the scenes which his imagi- nation presented. The conjecture was, how- ever, too delicate to admit of any active effort on Halcro’s part, to redeem his blunder, and therefore he only returned the tender pres- sure of his friend’s hand, and uttered inter- = “alas!” in as pathetic a tone as he could,

(To be continned.)

Bravery.

Many deeds of reckless daring are never recorded, but here is une chronicled by no less a man than the great Duke of Welling- ton. He was once asked who, in his opinion, was the bravest man at Waterloo. ‘*Tcan’t tell you that,” he said; *‘but 1 can tel] vou of one than whom | am sure was no braver. He was only a private in the artillery, but, he had served the day through he would have been an offieer. A farm- house, with an orcherd surrounded by a thick hedge, formed a must important point in the British position, and wage ordered to be held ayainst the enemy at any haszard or sacrifice. The hottest of the battle razed round this point, but the English behaved weli and beat back the French, though they attacked the place again and again with great fury, At last the powder and ball were found to be running short ; at the same the timber in hedges took fire, and the orchard was soon surrounded by a ring of flame. A messenger, however, had been sent to the regr for more powder and ball, and in a short time two loaded wagons came galloping down to the farmhouse, the gallant defenders of which were keeping upa thin and. scanty fire through the flames which surrounded their post. The driver of the first wagon, with the reckless daring of an Enghsh boy spurred his struggling and terrified horses thro the burning heap ; but the flames rose ly round, and caught the powder, which exploded in an instant, sending wagon, horses and rider in fragments into the air. For one instant the driver of the second wagon paused, appalled by his comrade’s fate ; the next, observing that he flames, beaten back for a moment by the ex- plosion, affording him one desperate chance, he sent his horses at the smoulder- ing breach, and, amid the deafening cheers of the garrison, landed the terrible cargo safely within. Behind him the flame clos- ed up, and raged more fiercely than ever.

a Hindoo Women.

Widow Ramabal, a high castle Hindoo woman, is exerting herself in the States to raise money to assist the women Of India to become educated. Many influential jadies and gentlemen are taking an active interest in the cause she advocates, and have form- ed a ‘‘Ramabai Society,” which has ‘‘ circles” in many places. _The widow is described as a slender, delicate woman, about thirty years old, who tells her sad story in simple and beautiful English. She says that there are 21,000,000 widows in India, and that their condition is most de- plorable. Some 600,000 of these widows are under twenty years of age and there are 79,000 mere children, not more than nine years old. Many marriages are contracted in India when the parties are in their in- tancy. When the husband dies it is be- lieved that his death is caused by some crime committed by the wife in a previous state of existence, and she is consequently very badly treated. Except the widow be- longs to a low caste she is not allowed to marry again. It is to procure some ameli- oration of the unhappy lot of this unfortua- ate class of her countrywomen that the widow Ramabai has devoted her life. The prospect is that she will be able to collect enough money to build and endow the modest college she proposes to establish.

Mot Water to Relieve Thirst.

It is a mistake to suppose that cold drinks are necessary to relieve thirst. Very cold drinks, as # rule, increase a feverish condi- tion of the mouth and stomach, and so create thirst. Experience shows it to be a fact that hot drinks relieve thirst and **cool off” the body when it isin an abnormally heated condition betterthan ice-cold drinks. It is far better and safer to avoid the free use of drinks below 60 ° ; in fact, a higher temperature is to be preferred, and those who are much troubled wil do well to try the advantages to be derived from hot

have been accustomed. Hot drinks also have the advantage of aiding digestion, in- stead of causing debility of the stomach and bowels.

Domestic Remedies.

A bit of soda dropped into the cavity of an aching tooth affords relief.

The juice of half a lemon in a glass of water, without sugar, will frequently eure a sick headache.

Tincture of iodine will check the growth of a stye. The lids should not be alluwed to come in contact, until the part touched becomes dry.

As soon as there are indications of a felon, apply.a poultice of equal parts of saltpetre and brimstone, mixed with sufficient lard to make a paste, as soon as it gets dry.

For a finger that is threatened with a felon, take a cup of cold water into which has been stirred some baking soda ; place it on the stove, and hold in the fivger until too hot to be no longer borne.
