THE PIRATE.

By Sir Welter Scott.

CHAPTER XL.

(Continued )

“Cleveland!” said Mordaunt—‘‘ Should the villain come ashore, he shall be welcomed with a shower of rifle-balls.

his piece, ‘‘ and all the mischief he has done me shall be balanced with an ounce bullet !” ‘* His death will. drive Minna frantic,” said Brenda ; ‘‘ and he who injures Miana, Brenda will never again look upon.”

‘** This is madness—raving madness!” said Mordaunt. *‘‘ Consider your honor—consider your duty.”

**I can consider nothing but Minna’s dan- ger,” said Brenda, breaking into a flood of tears; ‘‘her former illness was no‘hing to the state she has been in all night. she holds in her hand his letter, written in characters of fire, rat an ofink, imploring her to see him, for alast farewell, as she would save a mortal body and an immortal soul; pledging himself fur her safety; and declaring no power shall force him from the coast till he has seen her. You must let us pass

“*Tt is impossible !” replied Mordaunt, in great perplexity. ‘‘ This ruffian has impreca- tions enough, doubtless, at his fingers’ ends— but what better pledge has he to offer? I cannot permit Minna to go.” ! ‘**I suppose,” said Brenda, somewhat re- | proachtuily, while she dried her tears, yet still continued sobbing, *‘ that there is some- thing in what Norna spoke of betwixt Minna and you; and that you are tov jealous of tis poor wretch, to allow him even to speak with her an instant before his departare.” ** You are unjust,” said Mordaunt, hu t and yet somewhat flattered by her suspicions,— ** you are unjust as you are imprudent. You know—you cannot but know—that Minna is chiefly dear'to meas your sister. Tell me, Brenda—and tell me truty—if I aid you in’ this folly, have you no suspicion of the Pirate's | faith ?”

** No, none,” said Brenda; ‘‘if I had any, do you think I would urge you thus? He is wild and unhappy, but 1 think we may in this trust him.”

“Is the appointed place the Standing’ Stones, and the time daybreak” again de- manded Mordavnt.

**It is, and the time is come,” said Brenda, —for Heaven’s sake let us depart !”

**] will myself,” said Mordaunt, ‘* relieve the sentinel at the front door fora few minutes, and suffer you to pass. You will not protract this interview, sv full of danger?” ** We will not,” said Brenda; ‘‘and you, on your part, will not avail yourself of this un- happy man’s venturing hither, to harm or to seize him?”

‘** Rely on my honor,” said Mordaunt. *‘ He shall have no harm unless he offers any.” ‘**Then I go to call my sister,” said Brenda, and quickly left the apartment.

Mordaunt considered the matter for an instant, and then going to the sentinel at the front door, he desired him to run instantly to the main-guard, and order the whole to turn out with their arms—to see tne order obeyed, and to return when they were in readiness. Meantime, he himself, he said, would remain upon the post.

During the interval of the sentinel’s ab- sence, the front door was slowly opened, and Minna and Brenda appeared‘ muffied in their mantles, The former leaned on her sister, and kept her face bent on the ground as one who felt ashamed of the step she was about to take. Brenda also passed her lover in silence, but threw back upon him a look of gratitude and affection, which doubled, if possible, his anxiety for their safety.

The sisters, in the meanwhile, passed out of sight of the house, when Minna, whose step, till that time, had been faint and feeble, began to erect her person, and to walk with a pace so firm and so swift that Brenda, who had some difficulty to keep up with her, and could not forbear remonstiating on the imprudence of‘hurrying her spirits, and exhausting her force by such unnecessary haste.

‘* Fear not, my dearest sister,” said Minna ; ‘‘ the spirit which I now feel will, and must, sustain me through the dreadful interview. 1 could not but move with a drooping head, and dejected pace, while I was in view of one who must necessarily deem me deserving of his pity or his scorn. But you know, my dearest Brenda, and Mordaunt shall also know, that the love 1 bore to that unhappy man, was as pure as the rays of that sun, that is now re- tected on the waves. And I dare attest that glorious sun, aiid yonder blue heaven, to bear we witness, that, but to urge him to change

Speech of Hon. George Foster.

| ---- — }

| ;

(Hansard Report )

The hon. member for South Oxford said that this was the remedy and the only remedy. How long bas he been of that opinion? As a political physician, how long has he been «on- ducting his disgnosis, and at what particular period of time did it terminate in the con- clusion that the remedy was uurestiic ed re i- procity, and not commercial unieu or free trade? Weil, Sir, not long ; for speeches are on record, delivered not many months ago, scarcely yet cold, in which hon. gent emen opposite, not a few, but many of them, were out full fledge and in fuli blast in favor of commercial union and commercial union sjone as the panacea. However, tie diagnos’s has gone Ou ; different physicians have cousuite: ; they came to 4 conclusion a few days ago, and

they believe now tiat this is the so.e and sovereign remedy. . What are ihe ceasons given? The first reason is that it will heip

everybody and hurt nobody. That would be a very good reason if it “ere provod: but after the assertion shon!d come proof, and so, although my hon. friend glibly asserted that it would help the fishei men, the miners, the lumbermen and agriculturists of pluck and brains, he atterly failed to give details of any kind to show the House and the country wherein it would help them or be a special benefit to them. The hon. gentleman said the only classes hurt by it woud be: first, the combines; second, the civil service; third, the promo ers of elections; and fouith, those who were anxious for peiis aud wharves

,and harbors. Now, was my hon. friend -eally serious ?

it is such advocacy as that which makes me doubt still whether they intend to make this a real issue, or whether they are not only playing with it to keep themselves in practice until the next eligible thing comes up.. The hon. gentleman who says this ques- tion should be approached by us as* by plrilo- sophers and statesmen and not flunkeys; makes the bold assértion that everybody in Canada would be helped cxcept these four classes by this proposition being accepted ; and yet a breath ur two before he stated that it was a grave question, that it would cause great disturbance, that it wasa large change of policy that would be grave in its conse- quences.

COMBINTS !

If we have a combination in this Dominion of Canada, it is a Lilliput compared with one of the combinations on the other side, for in- stance the Standard oil combination. Why, Sir, I can just fancy, if it was this side of the House that was asking for a measure to stop combinations and we proposed as a remedy a union in commerce with the United States, how every file of papers published in the United States would be flashed eround these seats, and editorial after editorial read to show that combinations in this countny bore no comparison with those in the United States. If you wish to remedy combinations, this proposition would indeed be a case of the big fish eating up the little fish, for the small combinations we have here would be swallowed holus bolus by the large combina- tions on the other side; and what would happen? We to-day have in our hands a remedy for combinations in our own country in this Parliament, if a parliameutary remedy can be got. But it we put ourselves into the hands of a combination which octopus-like stretches its arms over & country, where we have no legislative jurisdiction, where is the remedy so far as we are concerned? And yet the hon. gentleman thinks fewer combinations would be had under unrestricted reciprocity. Does he propose to blot out the Civil Service if we have unrestricted reciprocity * Will we not need the public service of the country to be carried on, and so havea civil seivice? Il say it seems to me the hon. gentleman is not yet really serious in his advocacy of this question. But if he were serious when he introduced it, something intervened between the time of the introduction of the measure and the time when, towards the end of his speech, he made that trivial assertion which took the seriousuess out of him and out of his subject. Well, he says, as an additional reason in favor of kis proposition, that the poor man in this country pays the highest taxation and that when we get reciprocity he will pay less taxation. Now the hon. gentle- man attacks as monstrously unjust, and the hon. member for Queen’s (P. E. 1) reiterated

his unhappy course of life, I had not, for all the temptations this round world helds, ever consent to see him more.” As she spoke thus, in a tone which affordcd much confidence to Brenda, the sisters attend- ed the summit of araising ground, whence they commanded a full view of the Orcadian Stonehenge, consisting of a huge circle and semicircle of the Standing Stones, as they are oiled, which $:lready glimmered a grayish white in the rising sun, and projected far to westward their long gigantic shadows. At another time, the scene would have operated werfully on the imaginative mind of Minna, and interested the curiosity at least of her sensitive sister. But at this moment, neither was at leisure to receive the impressions which this stupendous monument of antiquity is so well calculated to impress ou the feelings of those who izhold it; for they saw in the lower lake, beneath what is termed the Bridge ot Broisgar, a boat well manned and armed, which had disembarked one of its crew, who advanced alone, and wrapped in a naval cloak, towards that monumental circle which they themselves were about to reach from another quarter. x ‘They are many, and they are armed, said the startled Brenda, in‘a whisper to her sister. “Jt is for precaution’s sake,” answered Minna, ‘‘ what, alas, their condition renders but too necessary. Fear no treachery from him—that, at least, is not his voice.” As she spoke on shortly afterwards she attained the centre of the circle, on which

the saine argument, and challenged pioof to tae cunirary, the statemcnt that the poor man dcves not pay the heavy weight of taxation in this country. But when the hon gentieman was asked on this side to point out the articles on which the poor man pid his heavy tax, he let offan extra edition of the fireworks he al- ways keeps on hand, «and took great care to aim ne straight bullet at the mark which was put before him, I challenge him now or any hon. gentieman on that side to go into particulars, and to prove, in the first place that the poor nan pays the weight of taxation and to prove, in the s cond place, that if he

does, unrestricted reciprocity well remove that weight in any mewesure, Look at the question as it stands. What does

the the poor man buy on which he pays this heavy Taxation? Take, first, the fairly well-to-do class.

Take for instance, the farmer. On what does he pay taxes? Every article that goes into the food of his family, so far as their daily wants are concerned, is raised on his own farm, and on these articles he does not pay a cent of taxation. Then the large proportion of the clothing he and his family wear is also psid for out of the| products of his own farm and no taxes paid. (To be continned. )
