THE PIRATE.

CHAPTER XXXVIII. (Continued. )
‘*Taccept your gift,” said Norna, “ in token that, if] have in aught been accessory to your fute, it was as the inv@funtary and grieving agent of other powers. Well did you say we direct not the current of the events which hurry us forward, and render
te
our utmost efforts unavailing; even as the wells of Tuftiloe can wheel the stoutest vessel round and
round. in despite of either sail or steerage.— Pacolet !’ she exclaimed, in a louder voice, what, ho ! Pacolet !”
A large stone, which lay at the side of the wall of the hovel, fell as he spoke, and to Cleveland’s suprise, if not somewhat to his fear, the misshapen form of the dwarf was seen, like some overgrown reptile, extricating himself out of a subterranean passage, the entrance to which the stone had covered.
Norna, as if impressed by what Cleveland had said on the subject of her supernatural pretensions, was so far from endeavoring to avail herself of this opportunity to enforce them, that she hastened to explain the phenomenon he had witnessed.
‘** Such passages,” she said, ‘‘to which the entrances are carefully concealed,are frequent- ly found in these islands—the place of retreat of the ancient inhabitants, where they sought refuge from the rage of the Normans, the pirates of that day. It was that you might avail yourself of this, in case of need, that I brought you hither. Should you observe signs of pursuit, you may either lurk in the bowels of the earth until it has passed by, or escape, if you will, through the farther entrance near the lake, by which Pacolet entered but now.—And now farewell! Think on what I have said, for as sure as you now move and breathe a living man, so surely is your doom fixed and sealed, unless, within four and twenty hours, you have doubled the Burgh-head.”
** Farewell, mother !” said Cleveland, as she departed, bending a look upon him, in which, as he could perceive by the lamp, sorrow was mingled with displeasure.
The interview, which thus concluded, lefta strong effect even upon the mind of Cleveland accustomed as he was to imminent dangers and ahair-breadth escapes. He in vain at- tempted to shake off the impression left by the words of Norna, which he felt the more powerful, beeanse they were in a great measure divested of her wonted *mysticie tone, which he contemned. <A thousand times he regretted that he had from time to time delaying the resolution, which he had long adopted, to quit his dreadful and dangerous trade; and as often he firmly determined, that eould he but see Minna Troil—ence more, were it but for a last farwell, he would leave the sloop, as soon as his comrades were extricated from their perlious situation endeavour to obtain the benefit of the King’s pardon, and Zdistinguish himself, Jif possible, in some more honourable course of warfare.
This resolution, to which he again and again pledged himself, had at length a sedative effect on his mental perturbation,and, wrapped in his cloak he enjoyed for a time, that imperfect repose which exhaustad nature demands as her tribute, even from those who are situated on the verge of the most imminent danger. But, how so far soever the guitlty may satisfy his own mind, and stupify the feelings of remorse, by such a conditional repentance, we may well question whether it is not, in the sight ot Heaven, rathera presumptuous aggravaiton, thanan expiation of his sins.
When Cleveland awoke, the gray dawn was already mingling with the twilight of an Orcadian night. He found himself on the verge of a_ beautiful sheet of water which, close by tire place where he had rest- ed, was neatly divided by two tongues of land that approach each other from the op- posing sides of the lake. and are in some de- gree united by the Bridge of Broisgar, a long causeway, containing openings to permit the flow and influx of the tide. Behind him, and fronting to the bridge, stuod that remarkable semicircle of huge upright stones, which has no rival in Britain, excepting the inimitable monument at Stonehenge. These immense biocks of stone, all of thei above twelve feet, and several being even fourteen or fifteen feet in height, stood around the pirate in the gray light of the dawning, like the phantom forms of antediluvian giants, who, shrouded in the habiliments of the dead, came to revisit, by this pale light, the earth which they had plagued by their oppression and polluted by their sins, till they brought down upon it the vengeance of long-suffering Heaven.”
Cleveland was less interested by this singu- lar monument of antiquity than by the distant view of Strommess, which he could as yet scarce discover. He lost no time in striking a light, by the assistance of one of his pistols, and some wetfern supplied him with fuel sufficient to makesthe appointed signal. It had been earnestly watched for on board the sloop ; for Goffe’s incapacity became daily more apparent ; and even his most steady ad- herents agreed that it would be best to submit to Cleveland’s command till they got back to the West Indies.
Bunce, who came with the boat to bring off his favorite commander, danced, cursed, shouted, and spouted for joy, when he saw him once more at freedom. ‘*They had al- ready,” he raid, ‘‘ made some progress in vic- tualling the sloop, and they might have made more but for that dranken old swab Goffe, who minded nothing but splicing the main- brace.”
The boat’s crew were inspired with the same enthusiasm, and rowed so hard that, although the tide was against them, and the air of wind failed, they soon placed Cleveland once more on the quarter-deck of the vessel which it was his misfortune to command.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. The Potato Measure.
Sir,—The potato fever must be very high at Charlottetown, when the dealers in that commodity are taking so much pains about what kind of potatoes we farmers ought to grow, and the manner in which we ought to cull them to suit the American market. These would-be scientists also tell us that we must guard as much as_ possible against rot, and analyze the causes which bring it about. These professional gent!le- men should go further and tell us what kind of stock we ought to raise, for beef, mutton, pork, butter, cheese, eggs, horses, etc., and analyze and ascertain what kind of food is best for early maturity, and to increase the volume of this important branch of farming. The answer to the above questions will be of much more im- portance to farmers than what kind of potatoes we ought to raise for the Ameriean market, or what kind of measure is used to dispose of them.
open, can see in a moment that the whole aim of these dealers is to increase their profit in a two-fold manner, as the resolu. tion submitted at the close of the conven- tion will show. (1) In the ordinary manner of buying cheap and selling dear, and (2) in the extraordinary and dishonest manner of adding one gallon to the present ‘lawful 23 gallon measure.
This measure was tested at Ottawa by the Minister of Inland Revenue, and esti- mated to contain 150 pounds of potato (average size) at 60 pounds tothe bushel and is as near the standard as any measure of capacity can be.
Now, Sir, every trader is in possession of one or two of these measures, and the rickety 25 gallon tub to boot. The 25 gallon measure may be lawfully used by a special agreement, where no weighing facili- ties are convenient.
It is to supply thiswant that this measure of capacity was issued, and its use is not compulsory or binding on the buyer or the seller, as the traders of Charlottetown wanted to have their new found measure. The idea is absurd to ask the Dominion Government to issue @ special measure to suit a few potato dealers in Prince Edward Island that will not apply to the whole Dominion of Canada, and against the ex- press wishes of the farming community, composing seven-tenths of our population.
A FARMER. March 19th, 1888.
Gipsy Shrewdness.
It is impossible not to be struck by the originality and cleverness of the Spanish gipsies even in their vices. A gipsy man was at confession one day, and while he was con- fessing he spied in the pocket of the monk’s habit a silver snuff box and stole it.
‘“‘ Father,” he said immediately, ‘I accuse myself of having stolen a silver snuff box.”
‘* Then, my son, you must certainly restore i.”
‘* Will you have it yourself, my father?”
“1! vertainly not,” answered the confessor,
‘* The fact is,” proceeded the gipsy,” “ that I have offered it to its owner and he has re- fused it.”
‘Then you can keep it with a geod con- science,” answered the father.”—~ Wanderings
in Spain.
