THE PIRATE.
| By Sir Walser Soott. | eee CHAPTER VIL. ' (Continrred,)
| Nothing in his father’s conduct had ever surprised Mordaunt so much as the obstinacy with which he seemed to pursue a theme so jforeign to his general train of thought, and | habits of conversation ; but he contented him- | self with answering once more, ‘ that both the }young ladies were highly admirable, buat he had never thought of them with the wish to do either injustice, by ranking her lower than | her sister—that others would probably decide | between them, as they happened to be partial |to a grave or a gay disposition, or to a dark or fair complexion ; but that he could see no | excellent quality in the one that was not | balanced by something equally captivating in | the other.” It is possible that even the coolness with ‘which Mordaunt made this explanation might not have satistied his father concerning the subject of investigation ; but Swertha at this moment entered with breakfast, and. the youth, notwithstanding his late supper, en- gaged in that meal with an air which satisfied | Mertoun that he held it matter of more grave | importance than the conversation which they had just had, and that he had nothing more to
- \say upon the eo ee explanatory of the an-
swers he had already given. He shaded his ‘brow with his hand, and looked long fixedly jupon the young man as he was busied with his morning meal. There was neither abstrac- tion nor a sens: of being observed in any of his motions ; all was frank, natural and open.
‘‘He is fancy-free,” muttered Mertoun to himself—‘‘so young, so lively, and so imagin- ative, so handsome and so attractive in face and person, strange, that at his age, and in his circumstances, he should leave avoided the ' meshes which catch all the world besides !” | When the breakfast was over, the elder
Mertoun instead of proposing, as usnal, that |hisson, who awaited his connmands,should be- take himself to one branch or other of his duties, assumed his hat and staff, and desired |that Mordaunt should accompany him to the | top of the cliff, called Sumburg-head,and from | thence look out upon the state of the ocean, ‘agitated as it must still be by the tempest of the preceeding day. Mordount was at the age when young men willingly exchange sedentary | pursuits for active exercise, and started up ,with alacrity to comply with his father’s re- quest; and in the course of a few minutes they were mounting together the hill, which, as cending from the land side in a long, steep, jand grassy slope, sinks at once from the sum- |mit tothe seain an abrupt and tremedous | precipice.
The day was delightful; there was just so
much motion in the air as to disturb the little i fleecy clouds which were scattered on the horizon, and by floating them occasionally over the sun, to chequer the landscape with that variety of light and shade which often gives to a bare and unclosed scene, for the time at least, a species of charm approaching to the varieties of a cultivated and planted country. <A thousand flitting hues of light and shade played over the expanse of wild ;moor, rocks, and inlets, which, as they ,climbed higher and higher, spread in wide and wider cireuit around them. | The elder Mertoun otten paused and lovked ‘around upon the scene, avd for some time his json supposed that he halted to enjoy its | beauties; but as they ascended still higher up ithe hill, he remarked his shortened breath and his uncertain and toilsome step, and became assured, with some feelings of alarm, , that his father’s strength was, for the moment exhausted, and that he found the ascent more toilsome and fatiguing than usual. To draw close to his side, and offer him in silence the ‘assistance of his arm, was an act of youthful deference to advanced age, as well as of filial reverence; and Merteun seemed at first so to receive it, for he took in silence the advantage of the aid thus afforded him.
[It was but for two or three minutes, how- ‘ever, that the father availed himself of his |son’s support. They had not ascended fifty yards farther, ere he pushed Mordaunt sud- denly, if not rudely, from him; and, as if stung into exertion by some sudden recollec- tion, began to mount the acclivity with such long and quick steps, that Mordaunt, in his turn, was obliged to exert himself to keep pace with him. He knew his father’s peculi- arity of disposition; he was aware from many slight circumstances, that he loved him not even while he took much pains with his edu- cation, and while he seemed to be the sole object of his care upon earth. Buc the con- viction had never been more strongly or more powerfully forced upon him than by the hasty churlishness with which Mertoun rejected from a son that assistance, which most elderly men are willing to receive from youths with whom they are but slightly connected, as a tribute which it is alike graceful to yield and pleasing to receive. Mertoun, however, did not seem to perceive the effect which his un- kindness had produced upon his son’s feelings. He paused upon a sort of level terrace which they had now attained, and addressed his son with an indifferent tone, which seemed in some degree affected.
“Since you have so few inducements, Mor- daunt, to remain in these wild islands, I sup- pose you sometimes wish to look a little more abroad into the world?”
‘““By my word, sir, replied Mordaunt, ‘‘I cannot say 1 ever have thought on such a subject.”
‘‘And why uol, young man?” demanded his father; it were but natural, I think, at your age.” At your age, the fair and varied breadth of Britain could not gratify me, mach much lessthe compass of a sea-girdled peat- moss,”
“I have never thought of leaving Zetland, sir,” replied the son. ‘‘I am happy here and have friends. You yourself, sir, would miss ine, unless indeed ——"
“Why, ‘thou wouldst not persuade me,” said his father, somewhat hastily, that you stay here, or desire to stay here, for the love or me.
“Why, should [ not sir?’ answered Mor- daunt, mildly; ‘‘it is my duty, and I hope I have hitherto performed it.”
“Oh, ay,” repeated Mertoun, in the same tone—‘‘your duty~your duty. So it is the duty of the dog to follow the groom that feeds him.”
**And does he not do so, sir,” daunt.
“Ay,” said his father, turning his head aside; **bat he fawns only on those whv caress
him. aoa | (T be Contéinuetl.)

Reply to “Stock-Taker.”
Srr,—Poor jealous-hearted ‘‘ Stock-Taker ” is now aware of his misfortune on account of voting ‘‘Grit” at the last general election, by which act he probably counted on the dredge Prince Edward for a ‘‘stall.” But although he lost the object of his ambition, he still seems to take great interest in Government supporters who are out of a job, by giving them a warm-hearted advice which appeared in the Patriot of the 28th ult. It’s lucky for the Grit party to have such a man as “‘Stock- Taker” among their ranks, and it would be advisable for them totry and keep up his courage or else he'll turn Tory atthe next election, sure.
A STRAPPER. -—-
the Scott Act.
Srk,—I have read a good deal of the corres- pondence in your paper about the Scott Act and its working in the city. I notice that ol the writers unfavorable to the Act convey the impression that the Scott Act is responsible for the increase in the number of dens where the vile stuff is sold, and also for the italse swearing indulged in by witnesses at Scott Act trials, These writers would assume that every den in the city would close down and go to earn a living at some reputable business as soon as a license system of manufacturing drunkards came intoforce. Will any ot your ‘temperance ” correspondents enlighten the public as to who is going to enforce the rum- seller's and rumdrinker’s law? What has been the privcipal difficulty in enforcing the Scott Act? Was it not perjury ; and will not the same difficulty arise in enforcing a license law’ Most assuredly it will, for the damn- able stuff will have the same effect on a wit- ness, whether bought ina ‘‘den” run under the Scott or License Act. Who will be the informer under the License Law? Most cer- tainly not the Temperance Alliance. Who then ?—the licensee? Well, who ever heard of such a case—one rumseller informing against another ? Oh, no; the dens must be kept open in which to manufacture the drunk- mt out of the youths or boys who, your cor- respondent ‘* Temperance” says, ‘‘would not dare to enter a tavern to purchase liquor,” no doubt for fear of meeting a ‘‘ temperance” father or big brother there. Where did the young men of Charlottetown, who were drunk- ards before the Scott Act came into force, get the liquor that sent several of them to drunk ard’s graves ?
If you get the much-coveted license system, you will have the same dens to manufacture and sell the vile stuff, and the same Stipen- diary, Police, and false-swearing, rum-drink- ing witnesses to contend with, without a Tem- perance Alliance and Guardian te urge them on to duty and diligence.

— A Big Mistake.
The moulting season, or the season when hens shed their feathers will soon be at an end. The process is one that in certain respects debilitates and prevents hens from laying. _The reason of this is that the growing of new feathers requires all the nitrogen and phosphates contained in the food and there is none left to form the egg. A curious fact about the hen, and one that illustrates the foreguing statement, is this, if a hen’s leg be broken during the laying season, she will lay her eggs without shells until the break is mended. The reason for this must be that all the lime contained in the food is required to unite the broken bone, there is therefore none for the form- ation of egg shells. The formation of new feathers does not require any carbonaceous or fat producing food, consequently well fed hens get very fat during the moulting. Many farmers and poultry raisers not un- derstanding all about these things kill off their old hens because they think they have stopped Iaying and are fat. This is a great mistake, because if the proper mater- ial be furnished them with their food to supply the increased demand for nitrogen and phosphates before mentioned the old hens will be through shedaing feathers much sooner and will begin laying on the approach of cold weather and they will con- tinue to lay vigorously all winter, while the young pullets, reserved to take the place of the old hens may not begin to lay until much later in the season. Very many peo- ple have learned from experience that Sheridan’s Condition Powder mixed once daily with their food will supply the extra material needed to strengthen and invigor- ate their hens, enabling them to grow new plumage quickly and commence laying early. Those who commence now ta use Sheridan Powder, will find that their yourg pullets will commence to lay at from four to six months old, and will lay continuous- ly through the winter. The Farmers’ Poultry Raising Guide, published by 1. 8. Johnson & Co., at 22 Custom House St., Boston, at 25 cents, contains a vast amount of information on this subject. Johnson & Co., will send post paid, two 25 cent packs of powder and one Guide for 60 cents, ora 2} Ib. can of the powder postage or ex- p.vss prepaid foa $1.20 and a guide tree.
