THE PIRATE.

CHAPTER XXVI. (Continued. )

As he spoke, the door opened, and display- ed, to the alarm of Brenda, and the surprise of Minna herself, a square-made dwarf, about four feet five inches high, with a head of most portentious size, and features correspondent— ramely, a hugh mouth, a tremendous nose, with large black nostrils, which seemed to have been slit upwards, blubber lips of an un- conscionable size, and huge wall-eyes, wih which he leered, sneered, grinned, and goggled on the Udaller as an old acquaintance, without uttering a single word. The young women could hard!y persuade themselves that they did not see before their eyes the very demon Trolid, who made such a distinguished figure in Norna’s legend. Their father went on addressing this uncouth apparition in terms of such condescending friendship as the better sort apply to their inferiors, when they wish, for any immediate purpose, to conciliate or coax them,—a tone, by the by, which gener- ally contains, in its very familiarity, as much offence as the more direct assumption of dist- ance and superiority.

‘“‘Ha, Nick! honest Nick!” said the Udaller, ** here you are, lively and lovely as Saint Nicholas

your namesake, when he is carved with an axe for the headpiece of a Dutch dogger. How dost thou do, Nick, or Pacolet, if you like that better? Nicholas here are my two daughters nearly as handsome as thyself thou seest.””

Nick grinned, and did a clumsy obeisance by way of courtesy, but kept his broad miss- hapen person firmly placed in the doorway.

‘“‘ Daughters,” continued the Udaller, who seemed to have his reasons for speaking this Cerberus fair, at least according to his own notions of propitiation,—‘‘this is Nick Stumpfer; maidens, whom his mistress calls Pacolet, being a light-limbed dwarf, as you see, like him that wont to fly about, like a Scourie, on his wooden bobbyhorse, on the old story-book of Velentine and Orson, that you, Minna, used to read whilst you were a child. Iassure you he can keep his mis- tress’s counsel, and never told one of her secrets in his life—ha, ha, ha !”

The uglydwarf grinned ten times wider than before, and shewed the meaning of the Udaller’s jest, by opening his immease jaws, and throwing back his head, so as to discover that, in the immense cavity for a mouth, there only remained the small shrivelled remnant to a tongue, capable, perhaps, of assisting him in swallowing his food, but unequal to the formation of articulate sounds. Whether this organ had been curtailed by cruelty, or injured by disease, it was impossible to guess ; but that the unfortunate being had not originally dumb, was evident from his retain- ing the sense of hearing. Having made this horrible exhibition, he repaid the Udaller's mirth with a loud horrid, and discordant laugh, which had something in it the more hideous than his mirth seemed to be excited by his own misery. The sister looked on each other in silence and fear, and even the Udaller appeared [iisconcerted.

“And how now?” he proceeded after a minute’s pause. ‘‘ When didst thou wash thou throat of thine, that is about the width of the Pentland Frith, with a cup of brandy ? Ha, Nick! I have that with we which is sound stuff, boy, ha?”

The dwarf bent his beetle-brows, shook his misshaped head, and made a quick sharp indication, throwing his right hand up to his shoulder with the thumb pointed backward.

‘* What ! my kinswoman,” said the Udaller, comprehending the — “‘will be angry? Well, shalt have a flask to carouse when she is from home, old acquaintance ;—lips and throats may swallow though they cannot speak.”

Pacolet grinned a grim assent.

** And now,” said the Udaller, ‘‘ stand out of the way, Pacolet, and let me carry my daughters to see their kinswoman. By the bones of Saint Magnus, it shall be a good turn in thy way—nay, never shake thy head, man ; for if thy mistress be at home, see her we will.”

The dwarf again intimated the impossibility of their being admitted, partly by signs, partly < mumbling some uncouth and most disagree- able sounds, and the Udaller’s mood began to arise.

‘* Tittle tattle, man!” said, he; ‘‘ trouble net me with the gibberish, but stand out of the way, and the blame, if there be any, spall rest with me.”

So saying, Magnus Troil laid his sturdy hand upon the collar of the recusant dewarf's jacket of blue wadmaal, and, with a strong, but not a violent grasp, re- moved him from the doorway, pushed him gently aside and entered, followed by his two daughters, whom a sense of apprehension, arising out of all which they saw and heard, kept very close to him. A crooked and dusky passage through which Magnus led the way, and dimly lighted by a shot-hole, communicat- j2g with the interior of the building, and orig’nally int-uded, doubtless, to command the entrance by a hagbut or culverin. As they approached near, for they walked slowly and with hesitation, the light, imperfect as it was, was suddenly Sheoteed ; and, on looking upward to discern the cause, Brenda was startled to observe the pale and obscurely- seen countenance of Norna gazing downward upon them, withont speaking a word. There was nothing extraordinary in this, as the mistress of the mansion might be naturally enough looking out to see what guests were thus suddenly and unceremoniously intruding themselves on her presence. Still, however, the natural paleness ot her features, exaggerat- ed by the light in which they were at present exhibited,—the immovable sternness of her look, which showed neither kindness nor courtesy of civil recsption,—her dead silence, and the singular appearance of everything about her dwelling, augmented the dismay which Brenda had already conceived. Magnus Troil and Minna hal walked slowly forward, without observing the apparition of their singular hostess.

My Dear ScuoLars,—I am very sorry to be leaving you on the present occasion. Dur- ing the time I have spent among you, you have willingly joined me in working for the individual welfare of each one and for the welfare of the school in general Looking back, were it not for my ill health at times, the time has been pleasantly spent, and nothing would please me more than to be in good health and to be able to continue as your teacher. However, I hope that what I have taught you may continue you in the direction of learning more, whereby you may be better able to fight the battle of life. Your kind feelings regarding my health are a source of gratitude to me, andlam much pleased with your valuable present, which is a proof of more esteem than I had expected.

Hoping you wee dtpeove your time well under my successors}

I am, yours sincerely, James LANDRIGAN.

Glengarry’s Disgrace.

(Montreal Star, Independent.)

The last Glengarry election is a flagrant example of gross, shameless, undisguised corruption. The proceedings before the election court show beyond the shadow of a doubt that Mr. Purcell depended upon his money alone to carry him ieto Parliament. There is too much reason to believe that he was chosen to contest the County by the Liberal Convention because he had money and was willing to spend it freely. A man more unfit to represent a constituency of intelligent and independent voters in the Dominion House of Commons, it is hard to imagine. He is without education, and possesses no qualifications for Parliament- ary life. Had it not been that he was known to be both rich and a:nbitious, not a member of that conventioa would have dreamed of naming Mr. Purcell as a candi- date. And why did the Liberal convention choose a candidate whose only qualification was that he had a long purse! Simply that the county might be carried by the Liberal interest by a profuse expenditure of money. There is no use in attempting to discuss the fact that the choice of Mr. Purcell was in itself morally a corrupt act, the first of a series of corrupt acts that have brought disgrace upon the county of Glengarry. And Mr. Purcell did what was expected of him. From the first day of his canvass to the last he spent monoy right and left. He could not address meetings, but he could

lend money. He had no knowledge of the political affairs of the country, but he carried a big cheque book in his pocket. He could not argue

with an opponent, but he could and did send agents all over the country with big rolls of bank bills in their pockets ready to lend money tu any needy or corrupt voter on the most accommodating terms. In fact, Mr.. Purcell was during that election campaign nothing more or less than a perambulating money bay. The members of the liberal party in the country knew this. There was not one of them that was not perfectly sure that Purcell was buying his way into Parliament, and there is no indication, not the slightest, to show that they were not, all of them, ready and will- ing to condone his offences} against the purity and the independence of elections. So that in condemning Purcell the judges condemned those who urged him to offer himself as a candidate, and who witnessed his corrupt practices without a single re- monstrance.
