THE PIRATE.

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXIV. (Continued. )

Thus tutored, Niel Ronaldson was in- troduced into the presence of Mertoun, but was utterly confounded to find that he could not act upon the system of deception which had been projected.—When he attempted, by some exagyeration of distance and peril, to enhance the hire of the boats and of the men, (for the search was to be by sea and land,)- he found himself at once cut short by Mertoun, who showed not only the most perfect know- ledge of the country, but of distances, tides, currents, and all belonging to the navigation of those seas, although these were topics with which he had hitherto appeared tobe totally unacquainted. The Ranzelman, therefore, trembled when they came to speak of the recompense to be afforded for their exertions in the search ; for it was not more unlikely that Mertoun should be as well informed of what was just/and proper upon this head as upon others ; and Niel remembered the storm of his fury, when, et an early period after he had settled in Jarlshof, he drove Swertha and Sweyn Enieksonp from his presence. As, however, he stood hesitating betwixt the opposite fears of asking too much or too little, Mertoun stopped his mouth, and ended his uncertainty, by promising him a recom- pense beyond what he dared have ventured to ask, with an additional gratuity, in case they retured with ‘the pleasing intelligence that his son was safe,

When this point was settled, Niel Ronald- son, like a man of conscience, began to consider earnestly the various places where search should be made after the young man ; and having undertaken faithfully that the inquiry should be prosecuted at all the houses of the gentry, both in this and the neighbor. ing islands, he added, that, ‘‘after all, if his honor would not be angry, there was ane not far off, that, if any body dared speer her a question, and if she liked to answer it, could tell more about Maister Mordaunt than any body else could.—Ye will ken wha I mean, Swertha? Her that was down at the haven this morning.” Thus he eoncluded, address. ing himself with a mysterious look to the housekeeper, which she answered with a nod and a wink,

‘How mean you?” said Mertoun; speak out, short and open—-whom do you speak of ?”

“It is Norna of the Fitful-head,” said Swertha, ‘‘that the Ranzelman is thinking about; for she has gone up to Saint Ringan’s Kirk this morning on business of her own.”

sun?” said Mertoun; ‘she is, I believe, al wandering mad woman, or imposter.”

‘* If she wanders,” said Swertha, ‘it is for nae lack of means at hame, and that is weel known—plenty of a’ thing has she of her ain, forby that the Fowd himsell would let her want naething.”

“* But what is that to my son?” said Mer- toun impatiently.

‘I dinna ken—she took unco pleasure in Maister Mordaunt from the time she first saw him, and mony a braw thing she gave him at ae time or another, forby the gowd chain that hangs about his bonny craig—folks say it is of fary gold—I kenna what. gold it is, but Bryce Snailsfoot says that the value will raount to an hundred punds English, and that is nae deaf nuts.”

‘Go, Ronaldson,” said Mertoun, ‘or else send some one, to seek this woman out—if you think there be achance of her knowing anything of my son,”’

“She kens a’thing that happens in thae islands,” said Niel Ronaldson, ‘* muckle soon- er than other folk, and that is Heaven's truth. But as to going to the kirk or the kirkyard to speer after her, there is not a man in Zetland will do it, for meed or for money—and that’s Heaven's truth as weel as the other.”

‘* Cowardly, superstitious fools !” said Mer- tcun. But give me my cloak, Swertha. This woman has been at Burgh-Westra -she is related to Troil’s family—she may know something of Mordaunt’s absence and its cause, 1 will seek her myself. She is at the Cross-kirk, you say ?”

‘* No, not. at the Cross-kirk, but at the auld Kirk of Saint Ringan’s—it’s a dowie bit, and far frae being canny ; and it your honor,” added Swertha. ‘wad walk by my rule, I wad wait until she came back, and no trouble her wh:n she may be mair busied wi’ the dead, for ony thing that we ken, than she is wi’ the living. The like of her carena to have other folk’s een on them when they are, gude sain us! doing their ain particular turns.” Mertoun made no answer, but throwing his cloak loosely around him, (for the day was misty, with passing showers,) and leaving the decayed mansion ot Jarlshof, he walked at a pace much faster than was usual with him, taking the direction of the ruinous church, which stood, as be well knew, within three or four miles of his dweliing.

The Ranzleman and Swertha stood gazing after him in silence, unti)] he was fairly out of ear-shot, when, looking seriously on each other, and shaking their sagacious heads in the same boding degree of vibration, they uttered their remarks in the same breath.

** Fools are aye flect and fain,” said Swertha.

** Fey folk run fast,” added the Ranzeman; “‘and the thing that we are born to, we can- not win by. Ihave known them that tried to stop folk that were fey. You have heard of Heien Emberson of Camsey, how she stopped all the holes and windows about the house, that her gudeman might not see day- light, and rise to the haaf-fishing, because she feared foul weather; and how the boat he should have sailed in was lost in the Roost; and how she came back rejoicing in her gude- man's safety—but ne'er may care, for there she found him drowned in his own masking- fat, within the wa’s of his ain biggin; and moreover——”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mail Arrangement From Souris to North Lake.

Siz, —Not long ago a deliberate attempt made bythe mail courier on the above route to change the time of leaving Souris to suit his own pleasure, irrespective of the conditions of his contrace. But the public found redress by exposing his actions in the press. Since, then, however, this au- tocratic personage has again assumed his wanton authorities. Instead of a tri-week- ly mail as usual, we are nuw subjected to a bi-weekly one. He also appoints his own day, which must be in accordance wiih his nag’s constitution. How to account for this second violation of the public right is an enigma which Tam unable to solve, as the roads and weather were everything that could be desired during the last fortnight. Notwithstanding which, instead of six mails, we received but four. The people, therefore, characterize such treat- meut as a high-handed piece of imposition, and unwarranted interferance with their just rights and liberties. Rumor has it that it is wilful negligence on the courier's Pep i order to get a pretext for throwing up the contract. But why does he not sub- mit his resignation to the proper authori- ties who would, no doubt, relieve him of a position for which he was never intended by nature? The people will hail, with gen- eral rejoicings, the remova] of such a para- gon under any circumstances; in order that some one possessing more physical ability aud a more obliging disposition may suc- ceed him.

Is it lenincyon the part of the authorities that permits such injustice being practiced on an intelligent public with impunity ¢ Perhaps the Postmaster at Souris can ex- plain.

In conclusion, I feel confident that I am expressing the sentiments of an unbiased public, when I state that the retention in office of such an incapable after this date, would be a direct insult to their intelligence.

Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for your valuable space, I remain, yours respect- fully,

REPLY.

Dear Puptis,—Your complimentary ad-

dress and valuable present was an extreme surprise tome. It is very gratifying, indeed, to a teacher, whose occupation is so irksome, tu be assured that his labors are so much ap- preciated. I receive the writing desk, not for its real value, but for the generous spirit in which it was given. True, I have ever had you best interests at heart, my chief object being to advance you in your studies, with a thorough understand- ing as you advance. Yet your progress is not due to my own labors alone, but to you own industry and perseverauce.

During my stay of four years and six months among you, you have become very much endeared to me by your kind deport- ment and diligence in your studies.

After our holidays are over, I trust we will be able to resume our work with greater de- termination to persevere. In return 1 wish you the compliments of the season.

N. W. Learp. —==ronmungigedliendilieenitiioaes zs Salt for Cattle.

Every farmer is accustomed to salt his cattle, but not every one knows why he doee it, unless it is because the stock like it. But a moment's thought will show where the advantage lies. As soon as food enters the stomach, says The Rural Cana- dian, the natural tendency is at once for fermentation to begin, and there arises a contest t-tween this tendency and the di- gestive pc ers. And if these powers are vigorous and the precess of* fermentation are checked or intercepted, then no bad results will follow, the food will be digest- ed, and the salt will not be needed, though at any time this will assist in the process of digestion. Salt keeps food from decay- ing until it can be digested and assimilated and prolongs,the time to allow the digestive organs to complete their work, as if food is taken in excess, as often happens when stock is in pasture, salt given frequently will be of much advantage. And further, salt is preventive of worms. When fer- mentation sets in, the conditions presented are favorable to the existence of worms in the intestinal canals, and may possibly be
