Hunter’s Grave.
a | A STORY OF PIONEER LIFE IN P. E. ISLAND, |
On the bank of the Hunter River, a short distance from the Railway Station, the loiterer in the vicinity will stumble on a solitary grave. There is no marble slab, or, indeed, slab of any kind, at the head of the grave to tell the eurious whose bones monlider beneath. Yet the spirit that once animated the occupant of that lonely tomb was lofty in its dims and hervie in devotion to friends. It is called ‘*‘ Hunter’s grave,” and how he came to be buried in that once wild region forms a sad chapter in the re- miniscence of early pioneer life in this Is ani.
Avout the beginning of this century there lived in the vicinity of the present ‘* Ocean Honse ” a middle-aged man by the name of Winittier. He was one of those brave spirits known as United Empire Loyalists, who have played so important a part in laying the foundation of this Dominion. He, like handreds of others, left a home of eomfort and ease in the State of New York, and dsatermined to make a home for himself iu the wilderness on British soil, rather than live in luxury with those he looked upon as rebels and traitors.
At the time our tale commences he occu- pied a small but tidy log-house, which he had built with his own hands. His only companion was his daughter, a beautiful child about six years old. On this child he lavished all the fond affection of a father’s heart. His darling Marion (for that was her name) and a small but select library were apparently the only links that bound him to a civilization he had voluntarily left. With the sumple Acadians, whose dwellings skirted the shore and who lived chiefly by fishing, he had no social sympathies. Care- fully cultivating his small clearance, teach- ing and lavishing endearments on his child, and reading occupied all his time.
Five or six years rolled on in this quiet, uneventful manner. Marion was still a child in years, but rapidly growing to be a woman in thought and act. She returned her father’s love for her with a sympathy in his feelings and a care fer his coinfort, sur- prising in one so young.
In the Fall of 1806 a terrific ste-m raged on the north coast of the Island for three
days. For more than a mile from land there was nothing but a_ white foam of breakers. On the ever-
ing of the third day, Whittier and his daughter stood in the door of this dwelling, looking with awe on the angry billows dashed upon the shore ; when, to their hor- ror, they saw a ship, apparently unmanage- able driven by the fierce winds towards the breakers. Whittier had enough experience of the coast to know that no human power could save the fated ship, and that most likely all on board would meet a watery grave. On she came straight into the mad foaming breakers. A few despairing beings were stood clinging to the shrouds. At length she struck, her masts went by the board, the sea made aclean breach over her, and no human being was to be seen. Whittier and his daughter hastened to the beach in the hopes that some of the crew might be carried by the wavef to. the shore alive. But for a time their search was vain, The beach soon became strewn with por tions of the wreck and cargo, and among them they diligently look for the bodies of the men they had seen clinging to the ship before she struck. At length alarge wave came rolling high up on the sandy beach
the hard work of clearing the forest. But he supplied the house with plenty fish and game, which abounded in the vicinity, —
As time went by, no one will be surprised to hear that Arthur Hunter and Marion Whittier became loyers as well as friends. It is not the purpose of this narrative to give au account of the progress of the pleasing malady. Loves young dream in their case was nut marred by the jealousy and misapprehension so common in our day. With his knowledge of the world, Whitter must have been aware that such a result must follow, and he was pleased to think that Arthur was, im every respect, worthy of his darling Marion.
At this period in our story, a rumour
reached Whittier, through some Indians,
that there was to be war with the United
States. Next to his love for his daughter,
the old man’s strongest passion was hate-
red of the people who had confiscated his
property, and virtually diiven him into exile. Soon the news of war was confirm-
ed. The United States bad declared war
against. Britain, and invaded Canada.
Whittier declared that if he were a younger
man, he would shoulder his musket and
march to the Canadian frontier tu fight the enemies of his king and country.
Hunter fired by the old man’s earnestness and eloquence, determined to goat once and
volunteer his service tu the Canadian pat-
riots. Even the gentle Marion, althongh she felt a pang at the thought of parting with her lover and the danger to which he was going to expose himselt, loved him all the more for his brave determination. Two or three days were suilicient for all the preparation that was needed for his depart- ure. A good deal of the time was spent by the lovers in carresses and vows of eternal fidelity to each other. it would be useless to describe the parting scene: It was just as italways is in such cases—full of fear, hopo and grief. Whittier gave Hunter let- ters of introduction to some influential Loyalist friends who had settled in Canada; and when young Hunter arrived, actual war with all its attendant horrors had com- menced. He was in time to be present at the battle of Queenstown heights, when the vallant general Brock fell mortally wound- ed. His bravery in that hard fought battle was such, that he was honorably mentioned in the commanding officer’s despatches to headquarters. Shortly afterwards he re- ceived a captain’s commission in a regiment of Canadian volunteers. All through the war, until the final rout of the Americans at the battle of Lundy Lane, he was at the head of his men fighting fiercely. At that battle he received a dangerous wound, which the doctors at first pronounced mortal. Our narrative will now leave him for the present and return te Whittier’s quiet and peaceful home at Rustico. Fer a while after Hunter’s departure the house- hold was a sad and lonely one.

Does Mr. McKenzie propose to move next session for the appointment of a com- mittee to ascertain whether his steel rail purchase was financially beneficial to the country? The prices of rails are so low in Europe that i is becoming a difficult caleu- lation to ascertain how many thonsands of dollars wonld have been saved to the coun- try if he had not ‘‘ taken the advice of his engineer.” German makers accept £5 per ton net on foreign orders. “A prominent English firm, which have one of the best plants and make an excellent steel rail from Bilbva and Cumberland ores mixed, are accepting orders at £5 1s 6d. Even at these prices there is brisk competition for Italian and Portuguese orders.—Toronto

body of a young lad, apparently dead, on the shore. They immediately took him out of the reach of the waves, and used all the ineans in their power to restore him to hfe. After a while their efforts were crowned with success, and they were overjoyed to find that they had been the means of saving his life. Every individual on board the ill-fated ship, but himself, found a watery grave. Whittier wrapped up the boy in his coat and carried him home in his arms, where he soon revived and was able to tell them all that he knew about himself. He said that his name was Arthur Hunter, that his father was an officer in the army, and that his father and mother were on board the wecked ship, which was bound for Que- bec. Foratime the poor boy was very sad, and talked continually of his drowned parents. But the grief of youth is soon over, and he and Marion becaine as frolic- some and gleeful a pair of children as could be found anywhere. He was some two years older than Marion, and quite a manly, generous fellow. He began to look upon Whittier as a father, and cer- tainly no son could be more dutiful than he. He was Marion’s constant companion, whether in her household duties, rambles on the beach, or short explorations into the forest by which they were surrounded. Nor was he less a favorite with Marion’s father. He was an eager listener to the Loyalists tales of the greatness of the Eng- lish nation. The glory achieved by the valor of British soldiers and sailors were themes the old man delighted to dwell upon and the ardent boy loved to hear.
Arthur’s earliest recollections were of the regimental band, the dress parade, the prancing horses, the glittering armour, the bright and showy dress. It was no wonder then that stories of battles and wonderful deeds of valour perforvied by British sol- diers had, for the youth, a terrible facina- tion. Although he occasionally helped Whittier in the cultivation of the farm, he displayed littic apitude or inelination for
