THE PIRATE.
By Sir Walter Scott.
CHAPTER XXXIX. (Continued )
‘* So this is all the welcome I have of you for old acquaintance’ sake ?” said Bunce.
‘* Why, what can I do for you, Master Altamont ?” said Halero, somewhat moved.— ** Tf young Mordaunt had had his own will, he would have welcomed you with the red Burgundy, Nuinber a thousand. For God's sake begine, else the stage direction will be, Enter guard, and seize Altamont.”
**T will not give you the trouble,” said Bunce, ‘ but will make my exit instantly. — Stay a moment—I have almost ‘forgot that I have a slip of paper for the tallest of your girls there—Minna, ay, Minna is her name. itis a farwell from Captain Cleveland—you cannot refuse to give it her.”
‘Ay, poor fellow!” said Halcro—‘ I comprehend—I comprehend—Farewell, fair Armida—
“Mid pikes and ’mind;bullets, ‘mid tempests
and fire,
The danger is less than hopeless desire.” Tell me but this—is there poetry in it?” ‘* Chokeful to the seal, with song, somnet, and elegy,” answered Bunce ; but let her have it cautiously and secretly. ‘* Tush, man !—-teach me to deliver a billet- doux! me, who have been in the Wits’ Coffee-house, and have seen all the toasts of the Kit-Cat Club!—Minna shall, have it, then, for old acquaintance sake, Mr, Aitamont, and for your Captain’s sake, too, who has less of the core of devil about him than his trade requires. There can be no harm in a fare- well letter.” ‘* Farewell then old boy, forever and a day”’ said Bunce ; and siezing the poet’s hand, gave it so earthly a gripe, that he left him roar- ing, and shaking his fist, like a dog when a hot cinder has fallen on his foot. Leaving the rover to return on board the vessel, we remain with the family of Magnur Troll, assembled at their kinsman s mansion of Steunis, where they maintained a constant and careful watch against surprise. Mordaunt Mertoun had been received with much kindness by Magnus Troil, when he came to his assistance, with a small party of Norna’s dependants, placed by her under her command, The Udaller was easily satisfied that the reports instilled upon his ears by the Jagger, zealous to augment his favour towards his more profitable customer, Cleveland, by
diminishing that of Mertoun, were without. foundation. The had __siin- deed, been confirmed by
the good Lady Glowrowrum, and by com- mon fame, both of whom were pleased to represent Mordaunt Mertonn asan arrogant pretender tothe favor of the sisters of Burgh-Westra, who only hesitated, sultan- like, on whom he should bestow the hand- kerchief. But common fame, Magnus considered, was a common liar, and he was sometimes disposed (where scandal was concerned) to regard the good Lady Glow- rowrum as rather an uncommon specimen of the same genus. He, therefere, received Mordaunt once more into full favor, listen- ed with much surprise to the claim which Norna laid to the young man’s duty, and with no less interest to her intention of surrendering to him the considerable property which she had inherited from her father. Nay, it is even probable that, though he gave no immediate answer to her hints concerning an union betwixt his eldest daughter and her heir, he might think such an alliance recommended, as well by the young man’s personal merits, as the chance it gave of reuniting the very large estate which had been divided betwixt his own father and that of Norna. At all events, the Udaller received his young friend with much kindness, and he and the proprietor of the mansion joined in intrusting to him, as the youngest and most active of the party, the charge of commanding the night watch, and relieving the sentinels around the House of Stennis.
CHAPTER XI.
Of an outlawe, this is the law— That men him take and bind,
Without pitie hang’d to be, And waive with the wind.
The Ballad of the Nut Brown Maid.
Morpaunt had caused the sentinels who had been on duty since midnight to be relieved ere the peep of day, and having given directions that the guard should be again changed at sunrise, he had retired to a small parlor, and, placing his arms beside him, was slumbering in an easy-chair,when he felt himself pulled by the watch-cloak in which he was enveloped. ‘* Is it sunrise,” said he, ‘‘ already?” as starting up, he discovered the first beams lying level upon the horizon. ‘* Mordaunt !” said a voice, every note of which thrilled to his heart. He turned his eyes on the speaker, and Brenda Troi), to his joyful astonishment, stood before him. As he was about to address her eagerly, he was checked by observing the signs of sorrow and discom- posure in her pale cheeks, trembling lips, and brimful eyes. ‘*Mordaunt,” she said, ‘‘ you must do Minna and me a favor—you must allow us to leave this house quietly, and without alarming any one, in order to go as far as the Standing Stones of Stennis.” ‘* What freak can this be, dearest Bren- da?” said Mordaunt, much amazed at the request —‘‘some Orcadian observance of superstition, perhaps ; but the time 1s too dangerous, and my charge from your father too strict, that I should permit you to pass without his consent. Consider, dearest Brenda, I am a soldier on duty, and must obey orders.” .
‘*Mordaunt,” said Brenda, ‘this no jesting matter—Minna’s reason, nay, Minna’s life, depends on your giving us this permission.”
‘* And for what purpose?” said Mor- daunt ; ‘‘ let me at least know that.” ‘‘For a wild and a desperate purpose,” replied Brenda—*‘ It is that she may meet Cleveland.”

Speech of Hon. George Foster.
(Hansard Report.)
[CONTINUED. ] ‘If there is any man who has raised a noise about himself in the Maritime Provinces ‘within the last three or four years it has _been Attorney-General Longley, and At- torney-General Longley’s great fight with the Confederation, his great fight against ‘* inter-continentalism,” as hecalls it, is that Nova Scotia, for instance, is sending$12,- 000,000 a year to Ontario to pay for goods which come down to her. What does that /mean—inter-provincial trade 1 think. I will allow my friend to settle that with his ‘friend Attorney-General Longley. Well, |Sir, is there no other proof of intex-provin- cial trade than that statemeut, because if there were none other I should not con- |sider it altogether satisfactory; but I think ithere is. I find that the Intercolonial Rail- ‘way carried 175,512 tons ef coal in 1887, but that is by no means all the coal which comes from Nova Scotia to Quebec and to ‘the edges of Ontario. Every steamer the ‘season through, as my hon. friend knows, that goes down to Cape Britain, to Sydney and to other places there carries coal in this direction. 1 think there is some inter- provincial trade here. Well, Sir, look again atthe sugar trade. There was no inter-provincial trade in sugar in the olden- times, I find that the last year the Inter- colonial Railway carried 143,998 barrels of sugar from the Halifax and Moncton re- fineries into those Upper Provinces. I find that over three-quarters of a million of bar- rels of flour were carried on the Intercolon- ial Railway last year, a large proportion of which went to the Maritime. Provinces. Why, Sir, my hon. friend from Prince Ed- ward Island is aware of that when the
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND GOVERNMENT
presented a case against the Goverment on account of what they thought was a fair claim for compensation, because the com- munication with the mainland had not been satisfactorily carried out, and when it was shown by a report to the Council, which has found its way into the public records, that the amount contributed in Customs by Prince Edward Island was not very much, that statement was met by the counter- statement that Prince Edward Island buys largely from the other Provinces of Canada and consequently that her import figures are no criterion of the Customs upon the imports or of the amount she contributes in this way to the general revenue. To-day
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
buys from Halifax, St. John and Montreal, and there is a large and increasing inter- provincial trade in that direction. I might carry this argument further and further, but I think I have stated enough to show that there is a volume of trade far and above what was spoken of or what is shown by the simple addition of imports and ex- ports which was relied upon by my friend from South Oxford (Sir Richard Cart- wright.) Again I state he has failed to show the necessity for a heroic remedy by that argument which he has adduced. Those were mainly the arguments he placed before the House. He spoke about debts and taxes. Will he gret rid of our debts if we become immersed in this unrestrieted reciprocity arrangement! Shall we not have to pay our municipal debts as before ? Shall we not have to pay our city debts as before, and shall we not have to pay our Provincial and Dominion debts as before ¢ Shall we not have the costs and charges for government and improvements the same as before? It does not seem to me that there is any prospect of getting rid of them on account of bringing into operation this heroic remedy. Then, Sir, he states that there is no adequate return for public works. WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY ‘ADEQUATE RE- TURN ?”
Does he mean that because the great works of Canada have not paid, in dollars and cenis, a revenue, that, therefore, they have not made any adequate retura to this great country in its development and extension ? If he does, he means something with which I venture to think the majority of this House will not agree. ! could quote to him a speech made by the Hon. G. W. Ross not more than two months ago, at a dinner in Toronto,? when that gentleman most eloquently portrayed the prosperity of Canada before our illustrious visitor, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, at a banquet given in that city, and in which Mr. Ross pointed out with pride those great public works, our canals and our railways, which he declared were necessary to and a most invaluable factor in the prosperity and growth of this country, and which he was inclined to believe were a signal success. So much with reference to that. The last argument of all is that the federal constitu- tion is about to collapse, but it is said that if you open up the channel of commerce and take commodities free across the bor- der it will have some sort of a magic, subtle, decisive and healthy effect, that the threatened collapse will be staved off, and the members which now appear to be healed and made sane and sound for sore, all time to come.
