THE PIRATE. By Sir Walter Scott. eee CHAPTER XVIII. (Continued. ) ‘‘T have dealt with the fair traders in my day,’ replied Snailsfoot, ‘‘ and I ken nae use in blurting braid out with a man’s name at every moment ; but I will uphold this gent'e- man to be a gallant commander—ay, and a kind one too ; for every one of his crew is as brave in apparel as himself nearly—the very foreniast-men have their silken scarfs; I have seen many a lady wear a warse, and think herself nae sma’ drink—and for siller buttons, and buckles, and the lave of sie vanities there is nae end of them.” ‘* Idiots !” muttered Cleveland between his teeth ; and then added, ‘‘] suppose they are often ashore, to show ail their bravery to the lasses of Kirkwall?” ‘*Ne’er a bit of that are they. The Cap- tain will scarce let them stir ashore without the boatswain go in the boat~—as rough a ek paulia as ever swab'd a deck - and you ma weel catch a cat without her claws, as him without his cutlass and his double lirace of piste’s about him ; every man stands as much in awe of him as of the commander himsell.”’ ‘* That must be Hawkins or the devil,” said Cleveland. ‘‘ Aweel, Captain,” replied the jagger, ‘* be he the tane or the tither, ora wee bit o’ baith, mind it is you give him these names, and not me.” ‘* Why, Captain Cleveland,” said the Udal- leF>** this may prove the very consort you spo! ce of.” “They must have had some good luck, then,” said Cleveland, ‘‘ to put them in bet- ter plight than when ‘Tleft them. Did they speak of having lost their consort, pediar *” ‘*In troth did they,” said Bryce; “that is, they said something about a partner that had gone down to David Jones in these seas.’ ‘* And did you tell them what you kuew of her ?” said the Udaller. ‘* And wha the devil wad hae been the fule, then,” said the pedlar, ‘‘that I suld say sae? When they kend what came of the ship, the next question wad hae been about the cargo— and ye wad not have had me _ bring down an armed vessel on the coast, to harrie the poor folk about a wheen rags of duds that the sea flung upon their shores ?” “Besides what might have been found in your own pack, you scoundrel |” said Magnus Troi}; an observation which produced a loud lang. The Udaller could not help joining in the hilarity, ‘which applauded his jest; but instantly composing his countenance, he said, in ar unusually grave tone; ‘‘ You may laugh, my friends; but this is a matter which~ brings both a curse and a shame on the country; and till we learn to regard the rights of them that suffer by the winds and waves, we shall de- serve to be oppressed and hag-ridden, as we have been and are, by the superior strength of the strangers who ‘rule us. The company hung their heads at the re- buke of Magnus Troil. Perhaps some, even of the better class, might be conscience- “struck on their own account; and all of them were sensible that the appetite for plunder, on the part of the tenants and inferiors, was not at all times restrained with sufficient strictness. But Cleveland made answer gaily, ‘‘If these honest fellows be my comrades, | will answer for them that they will never trouble the country about a parcel of chests, hammocks and auch trumpery, that the Roost may have washed ashore out of my poor sloop. What signifies to them whether the trash went to Bryce Snailsfoot, or to the bottom, or to the devil? So unbuckle th y pack, Bryce, and shew the ladies thy cargo, and perhaps we may see something that will please them.” ‘* it cannot be his consort,” said Brenda, in a whisper to her sister; ‘* he would have shown more joy at their ecient ‘it must be the vessel, answered Minna; ““T saw his eyes glisten at the thought of being again united to the partner of his dan- gers. . ‘* Perhaps it glistened,” said her sister still apart, ‘‘ at the thought of leaving Zetland; it is diticult to guess the thought of the heart from the glance of the eye. “Judge not, at least unkindly of a friend’s yfromae said Minna; “and then, Brenda, if you are mistaken, the fault rests not with ou, . During this dialogue, Bryce Snailsfoot was busied in uncoiling the carefully arranged cordage of his pack, which amounted to six good yards of dressed sealskin, curiously com- plicated and secured by all manner of knots and buckles. He was considerably interrupt- ed in the task by the Udaller and others, who pressed him with questions respecting the stranger vessel. “Were the officers often ashore ? and how were they received by the people of Kirk- wali ?” said Magnus Troi. ‘* Excellently well,” answered Bryce Snails- foot ; ‘‘ and the Captain and one or two of his men had been at some ot the vanities and danzes which went forward in the town; but there had been some word about customs, or HARRIS&SSTHWART SUCCESSORS TO GEO.

LETTERS TO THE EDIT OR ———~>——- Ministers and the Scott Act. SiR, — Ministers yy the Gospel have a perfect right to enter the journalistic arena in the temperance cause. The morality of the community is concerned and they are teachers of morals. But I would require them to be reasonable and honorable and not to condemn as ‘‘ rummies ” men equally as temperate and good-living as themselves, who cannot see eye to eye with them upon the Scott Act. I regret to say it, but the clergy, in all ages have been inclined to intolerance. They are temperance men, total abstainers possibly. I know that you are the same. But, after a six years’ experience of the Scott Act, you are forced to the conclusion that, as a promoter of temperance, it has not been a success. I am very certain, from what I know of you, that it was not without careful considera- tion you arrived at this conclusion, and [ feel sure that you regret the failure of the Seott Act, which you supported at previous elections ably and persistently. But the trouble is that the Scott Act does not prohibit, even were it rigidly enforced, “S!and were there no illicit selling. Under its provisions, a man can procure all the various kinds of liquor he requires by medical certificates ; no vendor will refuse him upon the production of a doctor's prescription, and liquors are procured in this manner every hour of the day. Or he may import it by the case or cask as he pleases ;—and, if he can affurd it, lay in a supply to last him all winter. Or half a dozen persons can club together and import their own stock. Is not this the case! I submit that no law which leans to the comfort and ease of the rich against the poor will ever command public respect. It is either asin to drink liquor or it is not. If a sin then let it be equally condemned in all classes. Let the @uardian denounce the judges on the bench as well as the truckmen. Both are equally guilty. But will the Guardian reprimand Judge anybody for drinking a glass of wine at his dinner? Oh, no; to do so would be an impertinence and an unwarrantable inter- ference. How many of the clergy who are so vigorous in support of the Seott Act are themselves total abstainers! I have a case in view where a minister recently left the Island, leaving his family behind him. After he had got settled in an adjoining Province, he sent for them, and they sold off a lot of stuff they did not care taking with them. Amongst the articles disposed of at public auction were ftiventy-four dozen of empty ale and porter bottles! This minister was a strong temperance man on the platform, while the records disclose that he imported his liquors in the steamer Miramichi. Support of the Scott Act appears to be assumed by theclergymen as the standard of respectability. In proof of this 1 have only to point to the language with which you yourself have been assailed. Three years ago, you were a strong supporter of the Act, while I with my pen opposed it as best I knew how. 1 believed you then to be sincere as I believe you now to be. So long as aman howls for the Scott Act, he is all right; but if he ventures to express a faint doubt of the benefits of the statute, he is at once a “rummy.” Mr. Guardian gives a prominent position to the publica- tion of the names of those persons who have been convicted of violating the Scott Act. But | have failed to observe any notice in its columns of the conviction, a few days ago, of the Scott Act Prosecutor of Prince County, for poaching salmon in Dunk River, and fer which he was fined by Col. Duvar $100, or two months’ imprison- ment. And this same individual, a night or two after he was discovered poaching, addressed a public temperance meeting, at which he denounced every man who would not vote for the Scott Act. Such is the pattern set by men in high places. It is the old story of~- ‘‘Compounding sins they are inclined to, By damning those they have no mind to.’ Yours truly, tas Local Notices.
