THE PIRATE.

CHAPTER XXII (Continued )

There was shaking of hands and sorrow of hearts

Yor the hour was aj)proaching when merry folk must part,

So we called for our horses, and asked for our

war. While the jolly old landlord said, ** Nothing’s to ay. . Lilliput, a Poem.

We do not dwell upon the festivites of the day, which had nething in them to interest the reader particularly. The table groaned under the usual plenty, which was disposed of by the guests with the usual appetite—the bowl of punch was filled and emptied with the same celerity as usual—the men quaffed, and the women laughed—Claud Halcro rhymed, punned, and praised John Dryden — the Udaller bumpered and ‘sung choruses—-and the evening concluded, as usual, in the Rigging-loft, as it was Magnus Troil’s pleasure to term the dancing apartment.

it was then and there that Cleveland, approaching Maguus wheve he sat betwixt his two daughters, intimated his intention of going to Kirwall in a small brig, which Bryce Snaiisfoot, who had disposed of his goods with unprecedented celerity, bad freighted thither, to procure a supply.

Magnus heard the sudden proposal of his guest with surprise, not unmingled with dis- pleasure, and demanded sharply of Cleveland, how long it was since he learned to prefer Bryce Snailsfoot’s company to his own? Cleveland answered, with his usual bluntness of manner, that time anc tide tarried for no one, and that he hac his own particular reasons for making his trip to Kirkwall sooner than the Udaller proposed to set sail —that he hoped to meet him and his daughters at the great fair, which was now closely approaching and might perhaps sind it possible to return to Zetland along with them.

While he spoke this, Brenda kept her eye as much upon her sister as it was possible to do, without exciting general observaticn. She vemarked, that Minna’s' pale cheek became yet paler while Cleveland spoke, and that she seemed by cornpressin: her lips, and slightly knitting her brows, to be in the act of repres- sing the effects of strong interior emotion. But she spoke not; and when Cleveland, having bidden adieu to the Udaller, approach- ed to salute her, wis then the ¢ custom, she received his farewell without trusting herself to atterapt a reply.

Brenda had her own trial approaching; for Mordaunt Mertoun, once so much loved by her father, was now in the act of making his cold parting from him, without receiving a single look of friendly regard. There was, indeed, sarcasm in the tone. with which Mag- nus wished the youth a good journey, and recommended to him, if he met a bonny lass by the way, notto dream that she was “in love, because she chanced to jest with him. Mertoun colored at what he felt as un insult, though it was but half intelligible to him; but he remembered Brendz, and suppressed every feeling of resentment. He proceeded to take his leave of the sisters. Minna, whose heart was considerably softened towards him, re- ceived his tarewell with some degree of inter- est; but Brenda's grief was so visible in the kindness of her manner, andthe moisture which gathered in her eye, that it was noticed even by the Udaller, who exclaimed, half angrily, ‘‘ Why, ay, lass, that may be right enough, for he was an old acquaintance; but mind! I have no will: that he remain one.”

Mertoun, who was slowly leaving the apart- ment, half overheard this disparaging obser- vation, and half turned round to resent it. But his purpose failed him when he saw that Brenda had been obliged to have recourse to her handkerchief to hide her emotion, and the sense that it was excited by his departure, obliterated every thought of her father’s un- kindness. He retired--the other guests fol- lowed his example; and many of them, like Cleveland aad himself, took their leave over- night, with the intention of commencing their homeward journey oa the succeeding morning.

That night, the mutual sorrow of Minna and Breda) if it could not wholly remove the reserve which had estranged the sisters from each other, at least melted all its frozen and unkindly symptoms. They wept, in each other’s arms; and though neither spoke, yet each became dearer to the other; because they felt that the grief which called forth these drops, had a source common to them both.

It is provable that, though Brenda's vears were most abundant, the grief of Minna was most deeply seated : for, long after the young- er had sobbed herself asleep like a child upon her sister's bosom, Minna lay awake, watch- ing the dubious twilight, while tear after tear slowly gathered in her eye, and found a current dewn her cheek, as soon as it became too heavy to be supported by her long biack silken eye.ashes,

Ir would’not convert many to the doctrine of agricultural distress, and landlord ruin, if the multitude were marehed and counter marched over the recently held cattle show, the annual exhibit of which took place at Dolington in Agricultural Hall. What I ‘expected to see was some members of dis- tress among the animals or men from the country ; but it seemedto me that the beasts were usually fine and numerous, and the countrymen looked as if they were in a very flourishing condition. They say that figures don’t lie; and certainly some of these animal figures could’nt lie (down) if they wanted to, while others could’nt get up even to be fed, and | thought if your mar- ket house should have such unhealthy look- ing fat for sale, how many of your country wives would chuckle over it for soap grease. Nevertheless the annual cattle show was, as usual, both a caution to unbelievers in such things, and a wonder to the habitues at these annual gatherings. Wales is coming the front, as a gold-pro- ducing country—not as a recent discovery for surface washingsinthe riversof that piin- eipality, is an old story; but Mr, William Crocket, F. R. S., and President of the Chemical Society, and a Mr. Readwin, have put their heads (and hands) together, and reported so favorably on the eXis- tence of a deep deposit of quartz gold, that for several months a hundred men have been at work in the Mawddach Vales, with the result of exposing many, thousand tons of stone, rich in the precious metal. It is even claimed that the mine now being op- erated is the richest in the world, capped with a further statement that some filty other localities exist of a very promising character. Mawddach Valley is in the neighborhood of Dolgelly.

Were I to be asked what subject would next ** vex mens’ souls” here, (depressed agricultural troubles;and divisional forms of government having assumed their chronic form) it would be, whether Protection is to be or not to be /— that isthe question. It is rather pleasing than otherwise (as the buffaloes said when they found the awis in the telegraph poles) to find something that is likely to make a new *‘ raw’ on the public hide-—it will be a counteractent to the ulcers already there. It seems that quite a large majority of voices ir the central and associated chambers of com- merce, are calling for more protection and fewer free trade regulations, and the exist- ing fiscal system is declared by sirong reso- lutions to require reform.

Although the expected and simultaneous- ly held Socialist meeting came off on Sun- day in Manchester and Glasgow and Hyde Park, the common report all round is that ‘‘ there was but littie excitement, and no disorder whatever.” This ‘* winter of our discontent ” will sso changefrom the heroic to the zeroic.

Lord Mayor Sullivan, of Dublin, has ‘“*two months” as a first-class misde- meanent, which he will serve in Tullamore aol.

The Secretary (Harrington, M.P.,) of the National League, has been arrested for what he defiantly published in the Aerry Sentinel.

The Statistical Society has brought out some curious facts in regard to making for- tunes. (I refer to Mr. Goschen’s address be- fore that august body of compilers,) show- ing how the tables are being turned in favor of the minnows as against the pikes. Small fortunes have greatly increased, while large ones are becoming the scarce article. The revolutions in trade that | referred to ina former letter, are working many up, and putting a fow down, and you ean see that what every one feels every one must think about, heicu"*ings are finding their own level, and there is more freedom of action. It is the leaven of commercial righteousness that is leavening the whole Imperial lamp. Every colonia) pulse feels the throb, and regulates its motion by the working of the great central heart of

Britain’s Empire.

As I expected, the determination to put down systematic obstruction to parliamen- tary business is assuming a concurrent power that will doubtless stamp it out when the next house meets.

Bible Class Anniversary. MARRIAGE OF TWO OF ITS MBEMBEKS AT TREMON? TEMPLE.

The Bible Class of H. J. Rice at Tremont Temple, Boston, held its fourth anniver- sary sociable on the evening of Nov, 7th, in the chapel of the Temple. The class at present numbérs 135, and the past year has been the most successful in its history. After a musical entertainment by members of the class, Mr. Rice, in the name of the class, presented E. W. Corey, the Superin- tendent, with a handsomely bound copy of Bryant’s Book of Poems

Just after, the pastor, Rev. Emory J. Haynes, united in marriage William W. Carey, of 73 Revere Street, and Miss Lydia M. Garret, of 19 Myrtle Street, who have been members of the class most of the time since its formation.

When the congratulations of their friends hao been received, the party adjourned to the supper room, where Caterer Tufts had spread a collation, to which the 150 present did full justice. Short addresses were made by Mr. Oarey, Mr. Haynes and others.

The bride above referred to is a daugh- ter of Richard Garret, Esq., of East Point.
