Memories. Schoolmate, I have been thinking to-night, Watching the sun in the west go down, Of the night we sat in the waning light, Overlooking the busy town. Do you remember that night, my friend, Does it come the same to you as me, The dusky light and the falling snow, ~. oes memory ever bring back to thee ? Do you remember the vows we made, Of friendship plighted that twilight hour, Of the many secrets we interchanged, Have they yet over your heart a power? They have o’er mine, for your name to-day, Spoken by one in the busy street, assing along, has raised in my heart A flood of mem’ries tender and sweet. It all comes back to my mind again, The twilight dim and the pure white snow, The twivkling tights of the town beneath, And the people passing to and fro. And you and I in the window seated. Watching all as they passed along, Heeding them not, for our youthful fancies Led us far from the busy throng. Far from the active, waking present, . Into the shadowy future years, Roamed our thoughts that evening, school. mate, Looking rather for smiles than for tears. I know not how it has been with you, Singe we have wandered so far apart, But the sum of my pleasures always Equal not sorrows within my heart. The vows we made in that quiet hour, _ Do you —. in your busy life ; Sehoolmate, I wonder if you and I Have parted completely in the strife. And yet that hour we thought that never Should aught divide our earthly ways ; Fondly fancying that all the future Would be to us like the present days. Sitting alone in the twilight here, Thoughts of the past come crowding on ; A past with the sweetest mem'ries fraught, One that forever is from me gone. The vanished past, we cannot recall it, J would not either that it were so; God knoweth best; and but once He gives us. A life to shape for weal or woe. Ah, me! I wake from my dreams once more, And turn to my busy waking life ; Checking the thoughts that unbidden rise, The mem’ries with which my heart is rife, Fhe twilight has deepened into darkness, While 1 have sat and thought of thee, So, wears my life into death’s night-shadows, So nears my squl to the jasper sea. And, friend of raine, when the day is ended, And the sun of life for us has set In the golden streets of God's own city, May we meet and walk together yet. ~ Cetra McoManon. By Sir Walter Scott.

OFFICE,—_QUEE™ STREET, next door to Claud Halcro, who, for friendship’s sake chifly, and the love of beauty proper to his poetical calling, attended them on their journey from Zetland to the capital of Ork- ney, to which Norna had referred them, as the place which her mystical oracles should at length receive a satisfactory explanation. They passed, at a distance, the tremend- ous cliffs of the lonely spot of earth called the Far Isle, which, at an equal distance from either archipelago, lies in in the sea which divides Orkney from Zetland; and at length, after some baffling winds, made the Start of Sanda. Off the headland so named, they became involved in a strong current, well known, by these who frequent these seas, as the Roost of the Start, which carried them considerably out of their course, and, joined to an adverse wind, forced them to keep on the east side of the island of Stronsa, and, finally, compelled them to lie by for the night in Papa Sound, since the navigation in dark or thick weather, amongst so many low islands, is neither pleasant or safe. On the ensuing morning they resumed their voyage under more favorable aus- pices; and coasting along the Island of| Stronsa, whose filat, verdant, and compara- tively fertile ahores, formed a strong con- trast to the dun hills and dark cliffs of their own islands, they doubled the cape called the Lambhead, and stood away for Kirkwall. They had scarce opened the beautiful bay betwixt Pomona and Shapinsha, and the sisters were admiring the massive church of Saint Magnus, as it was first seen to rise from amongst the inferior buildings of Kirkwall. when the eyes of Magnus, and of Claud Halcro, were attracted by an object which they thought more interesting. This was an armed sloop, with her sails set, which had just left the anchorage in the bay, and was running before the wind by which the brig of the Udaller was beating in, : ‘* A tight thing that, my ancestors’ bong | ni wis old Udaller 1 * but I can- not make vut of what country, a8 she shows uo colors. Spanish built, I should think her.” * Ay, ay,”said Claud Haloro, ‘‘she has all the look of»it. She runs before the wind that we must battle with, which is the way of the world. As glorious John says * With roomy deck, and guns of raighty strength, Whose low-laid mouths each mounting billow res, Deep in her draught, and warlike in her length, She seems a see-wasp flying on the waves.’ Brenda could not heip telling Halcro, Telegraph Office (up stairs ) WM. A. FAUGHT, Ch’town, Feb. 17, 1888-wky Agent. when he had spouted the stanza with great enthusiasm, ‘‘ that though the description was more like a first-rate than a sloop, yet the simile of the sea-wasp served but indifferently for either.” “A sea-wasp,” said nus, looking with some surprise, as the sloop, shifting her course, suddenly bore down on them : ‘**Egad, I wish she may not show us present]; that she has a sting!” What the Udaller said in jest, was ful- filled in earnest; for, withont hoisting colors, or hailing, two shots were discharg- ed from the sloop, one of which ran dipping and dancing on the water, just ahead of the Zetlander’s bows, while the other went through the main-sail. Magnus caught up a speaking-trumpet and hailed the eer to una what the was, and what was the meaning of this unprovoked aggression. He was only answered by a stern command,—‘t Down top-sails instantly, and lay your main-sail tothe mast—you shall see who we are presently.” There was no means within the reach of possibility by which obedience could be evaded, where it would instantly have been enforced by a ‘broadside; and. with much fear on the part of his sisters and Claud Halero, mixed with anger and astonishment on that of the Udaller, the brig lay-to await the commands of the captors. The sloop immediately lowered a boat, with six armed hands, commanded by Jack Bunce, which rowed directly for their prize, As they approached her, Claud Halcro whispered to the Udaller,—* If what we hear of bucaniers be true, these men, with their silk scarfs and vests, have the very cut of them.” *“*My‘daughters! my daughter !” muttered Magnus to himself, with such an agony as only a father could feel—**Go down ana below, and hide yourselves, girls, while J He threw down his speaking-trumpet, and seized on a bandage, willie his daughters, more afraid of the consequences of his fiery teraper to himself than of any thing else, hung round him, and begged to make no resistance. Claud Halcro unit- ed his entreaties, adding, ‘‘It were best pavily the fellows with fair words. They e said be Dunkirkers, or insolent man-of- war's-men on a frolic.” ** No, no,” answered us, “it is the sloop which the Jaggar told of us. But I will take your advice—I will have patience for these girl's sakes ; yet——” He had no time to conclude sentence, for bunce jumped on board with his party and drawing his cutlass, struck it upun the companion-ladder, and declared the ship was theirs. ‘** By what warraat or authority do you stop us on the high seas?” said nus, ‘* Here are half a dozen of warrants,” said Bunce, showing the pistols which were hung around him, according to a pirate- fashion already mentioned, *‘ choose which you like, old gentleman, and you shall have the perusal of it presently.” ‘** That is to say, you intend to rob us?” said Magnus.—‘*So be it—we have no means to help it—only be civil to the women, and take what you please from the vessel. There is not much, but I will and can make it worth more, if you use us well.” ** Civil tothe women?” said Fletcher, who had also come on board with the gang —** when were we else than civil to them ? ay, and kind to boot.— Look here, Jack Bunce !—what a trim-going little thing here is !— By G—, she shall make a cruize with us, come of old Squaretoes what will!” He seized upon the terrified Brenda with one hand, and insolently pulled back with the other the hood of the mantle in which she had muffled herself. ‘** Help, father !—helf, Minna !” exclaim- ed the affrighted girl ; unconscious at the moment, that they were unable to render her assistance. (To be continued. ) ——— Half Commercial Union. (St. John Sun.) The Opposition party in Ottawa have not ventured to take commercial union as a platform. Whatever may be announced as the policy of the party on this question the policy itself will be looked for in Sir Richard Cartwright’s resolution, of which notice is given, ‘This does not provide for the pooling of revenue nor even for the abolition of border customs houses. It goes the length of free trade in all products except spirits and tobacco. This would either imply free trade with all the world or would mean the imposition of a tax on English produce, while that of another nation would come in free. Sucha policy Canadians will not accept. They neither want to ‘ose their status in the British Empire, or to discri- minate against their best outside customer. Nor do they desire tu expose their indus- tries to the free competition of another nation which is itself protected from the outside world. The opposition party have wisely abandoned half their commercial union programme. The sooner they send the other half after the first, and join the government in support of a policy of reci- procity in natural produce the better for them. qeint sheep by relieving the obild from q . and the little cherub awakes as “bright ass button.” It is very soothes the child, softens the , allays in, regulates the bowels, and is wn remedy for diarrhea, whether arising frem teething or other 2auses.
