The PIRATE.

a ee ae ne

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XVI. (Continued. )

Mordaunt had therefore no difficulty in keeping sight of his disguised guide, as she tripped it over heixht and hollow to the sea- side, and, winding among the rocks, led the way to the spot where his own labours, dur- ing the time of his former intimacy at Burgh- Westra, had constructed a sheltered and solitory seat, where the daughters of Magnus were accustomed to spend, when the weather was suitable, a good deal of their time. Here, then, was to be the place of explanation; for the masquer shopped, and, after a moment's hesitation, sat down on the rustic setee. But, from the lips of whom was he to receive it? Norna had first occurred to him; but her tall figure, and slow majestic step were entirely different from the size and gait of the more fairy-formed siren, who had proceeded him with as light a trip as if she had been a real Nereid, who, having remained too late upon the shore, was, under the dread of Amphit- rite’s displeasure, hastening to regain her native element. Since it was not Norna, it could be enly, he thought, Brenda, who thus singled him out; and when she had seated her- self upon the bench, and taken the mask from her face, Brenda it accordingly proved to be. Mordaunt had certainly done nothing to make him dread her presence; and yet, such is the influence of bashfulness over the ingenious youth of both sexes,that he experienced all the embarrassment of one who finds himself un- expectedly placed before a person, who is just ly offended at him. Brenda felt no less embarrassment; but as she had courted this intreview, and was sensible it must be a brief one, she was compelled, in spite of herself, to egin the coversation.

**Mordaunt,” she said, with a hesitating voice; then correcting herself, she proceeded —‘‘ you must be surprised, Mr. Mertoun, that I should have taken this uncommon freedom,”

‘*It was not till this morning, Brenda,’ re- plied Mordaunt, *‘ that any mark of friendship or intimacy from you or from your sister could have surprised me. JI am far more as- tonished that you should shun me without reason for so many hours, than that you should now allow me an interview. In the name of Heaven, Brenda, in what have I offeaded you? or why are we on these unusual terms?”

‘*May it not be enongh tu say,” replied Brenda, looking downward, ‘‘ that it is my father’s pleasure?”

‘**No, it is not enough,” returned Mertoun. ‘** Your father cannot have so suddenly altered his whole thoughts of me, and his whole ac- tions towards me, without acting under the influence of some strong delusion. I ask you to explain but of what nature it is; for I will be contented to be lower in your esteem than the meanest hind in these islands, if I cannot show that his change of opinion is only ground- ed upon some infamous deception, or some ex- traordinary mistake.”

‘** It may be so,” said Brenda—‘‘ I hope it is #o—that I do hope it is so, my desire to see you thus in private may well prove to you. But it is difficult—in short it is impossible for me to explain to you the canse of my father’s resentment. Norna hasspoken with him con- cerning it boldly, and I fear they parted in displeasure; and you well know no light matter could cause that.”

‘*] have observed,” said Mordaunt, ‘‘ that your father is most attentive to Norna’s coun- sel, ancl move complaisant to her peculiarities than to those of others—this I have observed, though he is no willing believer in the super- natural qualicies to wnich she lays claim.”

‘They are related distantly,” answered Brenda, ‘‘ and we friends in youth—nay, as [ have heard, it was once supposed they would have been married ; but Norna’s peculiarities showed themselves immediately on her father’s death, and there was an end of that matter, if ever there was anything init. But it is cer- tain my father regards her with much inter- est; and it is, I fear, a sign how deeply his prejudices respecting you must be rooted,since they have in some degree quarreled on your account,”

‘** Now, blessings upon you, brenda, that you have called them prejudices,” said Mer- toun warmly, and hastily—‘‘ a thousand blessing on you! You were ever gentle-heart- ed—you could not have maintained even the show ot unkindness long.”

**Tt was indeed but a show,” said Brenda, softening gradually into the familiar tone in which they had conversed from infancy; ‘‘ could never think, Mordaunt,—never, that is, seriously believe,that you could say ought un- kind of Minna or of me.”

‘‘And who dares to say I have?” said Mor- daunt, giving way to the natural impetuosity of his disposition—‘‘Who dares to say that I have, and ventures at the same time to hope that [ will suffer his tongue to remain in safety betwixt his jaws? By St. Magnus the Martyr, I will feed the hawks with it!”

“Nay, now,” said Brenda, ‘‘your anger only terrifies me, and will force me to leave you.”

, ‘‘Leave me,” said he, ‘‘without telling

_

ous calumniator !”

*“Oh, there are more than one,” answered Brenda, ‘‘that have possessed my father with an opinion—which I cannot myself tell yon— but there are more than one who say——”

‘‘Were they hundreds, Brenda, I will do no less to them than I have said—Sacred Martyr! —to accuse me of speaking unkindly of those whom I most respected and valued under heaven—I will back to the apartment this instant, and your father shall do me right before all the world.”

‘Do not go, for the love of Heaven !” said Brenda; ‘‘do not go, as you would not render me the most unhappy wretch in existence !”

‘*Tell me then, at least, if I guess aright, said Mordaunt, ‘‘whenI name this Cleveland for one of those who have slandered me?”

**No, no,” said Brenda, vehemently, “‘you run from one error into another more danger- ous. You say you are my friend;—I am wil- ling to be yours:—be still for a moment, and hear what I have to say;—our interview has lasted bnt too long already, and every addi- tional moment brings additional danger with it.”

**Tell me, then,” said Mertoun, much soft- ened by the poor girl’s extreme apprehension and distress, ‘‘what it is that you require of me; and believe me, it is impossible for you to ask aught that I will not do my very utter- moet to comply with.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Effects of the License System.

Srr,-—A few days ago, 1 proved by the weighty testimony of a learned police court judge of ten years’ experience, that in the United States, as here, any liquor law, be it either licensing or prohibiting, is greatly hindred in being carried out, by the perjury of liquor people and the inaction of temper- ance people, so that we have nothing to gain by an exchange of the Scott Act for 4 License Act, in these respects.

The Church of England some time ago employed the most ample means to investi- gate “*the extent, causes, results and the remedies of intemperance ” in England and Wales. The report of the Convention of the Province of Canterbury, page 3, says :

“Of the direct causes of our national intemperance, one of the foremost and most prolific, as it appears to your cemmittee, is the operation of the Legislative Act which called beer-houses into existence, and plaeed the power of licensing them in the hands of the excise. This measure, though introduced in 1830, for the avowed purpose of repressing intemperance by counteracting the tempta- tions to the excessive drinking of ardent

spirits afforded in pub'ic houses, has been,

abundantly proved not only to have failed of its benovolent purpose, but to have served

throughout the country to multiply and |

intensify the very evils it was intended to

remove, The testimony on this point, on the | part of the Registracy, the Constabulary, the |

parochial clergy and other persons most

competent to judge, is most emphatic and | unanimous—and the moral failure of the Act |

is at this time admitted to the fullest extent by many who were favorable to it at its first introduction, Capitalists own public houses which they let at. high rents, thereby necessitating their tenants to resort to all sorts of inducements to attract people to their houses for the purpose of drinking. Indeed the inevitable result of increased competition must be the devising and multiplying of means to attract enstomers and stimulate their appetite for drink. It isa matter of general jcomplaint that the present licensing system, as carried out, is full of anomalies—that no uniform rule is observed in its administration —that the restrictions intended by the law are continually set at nought--and that where violations of the law are shown to have taken place, convictions are of unfrequent occurrence. With a system so faulty, a law 80 loosely and irregularly applied, and such abundant and increasing encouragement to intemperance, the spread of this vice through the country cannot be a matter of surprise.”

On page 6, the report says :—

** Attention is loudly called by the clergy and bharoners, in their returns, to the extent to which the adulteration of intoxicating drinks prevails, with the effect in many cases ot circulating a liquor—to use the words of one coroner—‘ which maddens and destroys.’ It is to be observed that these adulterations generally arise out ef the competition among rival dealers, and frequently supp'y the only margin of profit by which the traflicer is enabled to keep possession of his house as the tenant of some brewer or distiller.

** Your committee cannot omit to notice the alleged neglect occasionally observed in those whose official duty it is to report, and, it | possible, restrain violations of the laws against intemperance. In the returns made to your committee, many testimonies are given to the vigilance and fidelity with which the police discharge their arduous and irksome duty ; yet there are complaints that these guardians \of public morality fail to cope with temptations

and discouragements which they encounter in being offenders to conviction ; in the words of correspondents, ‘they are tampered with,’ ‘treated,’ ‘bribed,’ ‘corrupted,’ and are often even in the ‘interest and pay of the publican,’ and in consequence they ‘ wink and connive’ at breakers of the law, and are otherwise remiss in the suppression of illegal proceedings. Itis also stated that in some instances the police are not duly supported by _ the Magistrates, and are discountenanced in their endeavors to bring offenders to justice.”

| On page 7, the Report gives the National Results of the Evil under License :-—

‘** The results of intemperance, as pourtrayed in the evidence before your Committee, are of the most appalling description. It depraves the character, impairs the strength, shatters the health and nerves, fills our prisons, work- hous&, lunatic asylums and penitentiaries. The temper is soured, the passions inflamed, the whole nature brutalized by it—in short, there is no enormity of blasphemy in language and cruelty in action of which even persons, naturally gentle and well conducted, are not capable, and to which they aie not impelled | when under the influence of drink. In family life, affections are blunted and obliterated; the tenderest relations are outraged and set at nought; children are left without food, cloth- ing or education, and abandoned or forced to crime by the authors of their being, that the means of gratifying the craving for drink may ,be obtained. Husbands are neglected by ‘their wives; wives are subjected to revolting cruelty and violence, infants are often over- laid and killed; and the sin of the parent is ‘visited ona stunted, sickly and debilitated offspring.

‘* As to the evils inflicted on society and the nation at large by intemperance, these in their nature and amount, as attested in the evidence before your Comwittee, are not only harrowing and humiliating to contemplate, but so many and widespread as almost to defy computation. In no country, probably, is indulgence in this viee so prevalent az in our own. It may be truly said of our body poli- tic, ‘the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.’ And unless remedies be speedily and effectively supplied, consequences the most disastrous to us asa people cannot be long averted. No evil more nearly affects our national lite and character; none more injuriously counteracts the spiritual work of the Church; and, therefore, no question more immediately demands the zeal of our clergy, the attention of our statesmen, the action of our Legislature, and the thoughtful aid of our philanthropists. Nor can any sacrifice be esteemed too costly, or any efforts teo great, to check and remedy what may be shown by accumulated and undeniable evidence to be sapping the foundations of our prosperity, blighting the fature and lowering the reputa- tion oi our country, and destroying at once its physical strength and its moral and veli- gious life.”

On = page 12, the Convocation’s Report

:

VOL. 21.-NO. 146.

tem of legislation, and its strict enforcement, no effectual and permanent remedy for intem perance can be looked for.”

In the name of God, are we with, our eyes open, going to defyShigh Heaven, and bring down upon us the righteous judg- ments thereof, by licensing such hell fire as has thus so much sunk Britain that is now struggling to obtain a law almost the same as our Scott Act, while we are asked to go back to her License System! The Lord forbid.

Yours truly, FPaIRPtay.
