(Continued ) ‘* Do they want to go pump on shore then ?” said the Factor—‘‘how the devil should I a them, that never tonched rudder in my i e ’ ” ‘* Husk !—hush !—be silent!” said the Pro- vost ; “if the people of this town heard ye say such a word, your utility, and respect, and rank, and avery thing else, is clean gone ! No man is any thing with us island folks, unless he can hand, reef and steer.— Besides it is but a mere form ; and we will send old Pate Sinclair to help you. You will have nothing to do but to eat, drink, and be merry all day.” “Kat and drink !” said the Factor, not able to comprehend exactly why this piece of duty was pressed upon him so hastily, and yet not very capable of resisting or extricating him- self trom the toils of the more knowing Pro- vost—‘‘ Eat and drink?—that is all very well; but, te )speak truth, the sea does not agree with me any more than with the Trea- suver ; and I have always a better appetite for eating and drinking ashore.” ‘*Hush ! hush! hush!” again said the Pro- vost, in an under tone of earnest expostula- tion ; ‘‘ would you exactly ruin your character out and out ?—A Factor of the High Chamber- lain of the Isles of Orkney and. Zetland, and not like the sea !—you might as well say you are a Highlander, and do not like whiskey !” ** You must settle it somehow, gentlemen,” said Captain Cleveland ; ‘it is ‘tiine we were under weigh.—Mr. Triptolemus Yellowley, are we to be honored with your company?” ‘**l am sure, Captain Cleveland,” stammer- ed the Factor, ‘‘ 1 would have no objection to go aaywhere with you—only——” “He has no objection,” said the Provost, catching at the first limb of the sentence, without awaiting the conclusion, ** He has no objection,” said the Treasurer. «* He has no objection.” sung ont the whole foir Bailies together; and the fifteen Councillors, all catching the same phrase of assent, repeated it in chorus, with the ad- dition of—‘* good man” —‘* public spirited” — ** honourable gentleman’ —** burgh eternally obliged” —‘* where will you find such a worthy Factor ”’ and so forth. Astonished and confused at the praises with which he was cverwhelmed on all sides and in no shape understanding the nature of the transaction that was going forward, the astounded aud overwhe med agriculturist be- came incapable of resisting the part of the Korkwall Curtius thus insidiously forced up- on him, and was delivered up~by Oaptain Cleveland to his party, with the strictest injunctions, to treat him with honor and attention. Goffe and his companions began now to lead him off, amid the applauses of the whole meeting, after the manner in which the victim of ancient days was garlanded and greeted by shouts, when consigned to the priests, for the purpose of being led to the alter, and knocked on his head, a sacrifice for the common weal. It was while they thus conducted, and in a manner forced out of the Councii-chamber,that poor Triptolemus much alarmed at finding that Cleveland, in whom he had some confidence, was to remain behind the party, tried when just going out of the door, the effect of one remonstrating below.—‘* Nav, the Provost !—Captain !|— Bailies !—Treasurer !—Councillors !—if Cap- tain Cleveland does not go abord te protect me, it is nae bargain, and go I will not, unless I am trailed with cart-ropes !” His protest was, however, drowned in the unanimous chorus of the Magistrates and Councillors, returning him thanks for his public spirit—wishing him a good voyage— and praying to Heaven for his happy and speedy return. Stunned and overwhelmed, and thinking, if he had any distinct thoughts at all, that remonstrance was vain, where friends and strangers seemed alike determined to earry the point against him, Triptolemus, wtihout farther resistance, suffered himself to be conducted into the street, where the irate’s boat’s crew, assembling around him, gan to move slowly towards the quay, many of the towns-folk following, out of curiosity, but withont any attempt at interference or annoyance ; for the pacitic compromise which the dexterity ot the first Magistrate had achieved, was unanimously approved of as a much better settlement of the disputes betwixt them and the strangers, than might have been attained by the dubious issue of any appeal to arms. Meanwhile, as they went slowly along, Triptolemus had time to study the appearance countenance and dress of those into whose hands he had been thus delivered, and began to imagine that he read in their looks, not only the general expression of a desperate character, but some sinister intentions directed particularly towards hmself. He was alarmed by the truculent looks of Goffe, in particular, who, holding his arm with a gripe which resembled in delicacy of touch the compression of a smith’s vice, cast on him from the outer corner of his eye oblique glances, like those which the eagle throws upon the prey which she has clutched, ere yet she proceeds, as it is technically called, to plume it. At length Yellowley’s fears got so tar the better of his prudence, that he fairly asked his terrible conductor, in a sort of erying whisper, “Are you guing to murder me, Captain, in the face of the laws baith of God and man?” (To be continued.) oo Apvict To Morurers.— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth.

GREAT INTEREST TAKEN BY THE DOMINION PREMIER IN THE REVIVAL SERVICES AT OTTAWA, An Ottawa despatch to the Montreal Star says: ‘* The revival service conducted by Mr. Hunter and Rey. Mr. Crossley during the last six weeks in the Dominion Metho- dist Church here were to have been brought to a close to-night. The interest they have excited in all classes of society has been great, and augmented by the fact that Sir Joha and Lady Macdonald have been atteading as often as two and three times a weex. To-night the church was crowded to the doors, and over one thousand were shut out. Two pews, however, reserved with great care from the pressing multitude, were watched with eager interest, and a very perceptible thrill went through the audience as the Premier and Lady Macdon- ald, with Lieut.-Governor Dewdney and Mrs. Dewdney, Lieut. -Governor Aikens and Mrs. Aikens, Mr. Chas. Watson and other friends entered the church, and proceeded to fill them. During the course of the preliminary exercises, your correspondent learned that the evangelists to-day lunched with Sir John, when he told in all sincerity that he had experienced a change of heart. His well known features wore a rather serious and troubled expression as he walked to his seat. He took part in the singing with earnestness, and those in the neighborhood, who were oberving him, were, not surprised when, in answer to an appeal by Mr. Hunter that all who wished to become Christians and desired the prayers of the audience would stand up, the Premier of the Dominion, whose name has so long been the synonym of iniquity in many worthy Grit minds, arose with his wife. It made a distinct sensation. Later the pastor of the church, the Rev. Mr. Carson, made a motion, which he said he had been his secret purpose for two days, of the effect that the Evangel- ists ve besought to remain in Ottawa an- other week although they are due in Bellville almost immediately, One thous- and names, said Mr. Carson, had been sent from the enquiry room, and of these fully one half belonged to denominations other than the Methodist. Three hundred and forty have been added to the roll of his church alone. «The speaker looked straight at Sir John in requesting some gentleman in the audience to second the motion, and the veteran statesman dic it. Later the question, ‘** All who love Jesus,” brought Sir John to his feet. The Evangelists decided on the spot to remain. The sollection for the evening amounted to five 1undred dollars, contributed on the understanding that it should go to the reverend gentlemen who had taken charge of the services. =e e+ ceaee Railways in Ontario. In the matter of railroad building On- tario takes rank among the most progres- sive communities in the world. A Goy- ernnient return just issued shows the pro- vince to possess 5,595 miles of completed track, of which 4,140 miles has been con- structed since Confederation. It is ques- tionable if ony other country of equal size can show such a record of interna! develop- ment, there being, on the basis of a two million population, one mile for every 358 inhavitants, Besides this large showing, there are, too, 1,050 miles projected or under construction, the greater part of which wil! no doubt be completed at an early date, and other schemes are constant- ly being pushed to the front. One of the latest of these latter is a line to develop the country north of Lake Nipissing, snd perhaps to be pushed on to James’ Bay, the Cesign being to secure for Toronto a share of the prospective trade of the north- ern region which, unless such a step is taken, is likely toremain a monopoly to Montreal merchants. ee ee The scheme of a tunnel under the Eng- lish Channel will once more be brought be- fore the Brivish Parliament. Condemned man(to his lawyer)—It’s a long sentence, sir, to be sent to the State’s prison for iife. Lawyer (inclined to a more hopeful view)—Yes, it does seem long, but perhaps you won't live a great while. A Missouri farmer learned that the grand jury was about to indict him for working on Sunday. He didn’t try to evade the charge, but on the contrary had his four sons summoned as witnesses against him. He was fined one dollar and costs, « tutal of five dollars. But as the mileage and wit- ness feesof his sons amounted to $10.40, the family cleared $5.40 on the transac- tion. The LaCanada of Ottawa says the Mercier Government obtained $60,000 from the New York syndicate with which it was ne- gotiatirg its unsuccessful loan nearly a year ago, when it boasted so much of its great financial ability. Le Canada thinks that there will be some difficulty in re-imburs- ing this sum, which, it says, was distribut- ed among Liberal partisans, and it asks for a Royal Commission before which to prove its charge. Le Canada should be careful! about its facta before making such a charge. It is denied that Abbotsford is to pass out of the hands of Sir Walter Scott’s heirs. The place is to be leased, but not sold, by Mrs. Maxwell-Scott, the novelist’s great- granddaughter. The ambition of Sir Walter's life to found a family has been frustrated by the death of all his male de- scondants whe could succeed to his title ; and now if his estate, for which he made sO many sacrifices, and where he passed ihe huppiest years of his life as a sort of literary monarch, were to go out of the family’s hands, it would seem as if fate had marked out all Sir Walter's dreams for special destruction.
