of Zetland, and all hands perished; so you would have remained hid both from friend and enemy, and might have married your pretty Zetlander, and converted your sash and scarf into fishing nets, and your cutlass into a harpoon, and sweep the seas for fish instead of florins,”
‘* And so I had determined,” said the Cap- tain; ‘‘ but a Jagger, as they call them here, like a meddling, ing thief as he is, brought down intelligence to Zetland of your lying here, and I was fain to set off, to see il you were the consort of whom I had told them, long before I thought of leaving the roving trade.” :
** Ay,” said Bunce, ‘‘ and so far you judged well. For, as you had heard of our being at Kirkwall, so we shoufd have soon learned that you were at Zetland; and some of ‘us for friendship, some for hatred aud some for fear of vour playing Harry Glasby upon us, would have come down forthe purpose of getting you into our compeny again.”
“*T suspected as much,” said the Captain, ‘‘and therefore was fain to decline the cour- teous offer of afriend, who proposed to a me here about thistime. Besides, Jack, recollected, that, as you say, my pardon will not pass the seals without money, my own was waxing low—no wonder, thou knowest I was never a churl of it. And so——”
‘‘ And so you came for ycur share of the cobs?" replied his friend. ‘‘It was wisel done ; and we shared honorably—so far Goffe has acted up to articles, it must be allowed. But keep your purpose of leaving him close in your breast, for I dread his playing you some dog's trick or other ; for he certainly thought
$1,000] himself sure of your share, and will hardly
forgive your coming alive to disappoint him.”
‘I fear him not,” said Cleveland, ‘‘and he
knows that well. I would I were as well clear of the consequences of having been his comrade, as I hold myself to be of all those which may attend his ill-will. Another un- happy job I may be troubled with—I hurt a young fellow, who has been my plague for sume time, in an unhappy brawl that chanced
the morning I left Zetland.”
‘*Is he dead?” asked Bunce. “It is amore serious question here than it would be on the Grand Caimins or the Bahama Isles, where a brace or two may be shot in a morning, and no more heard of, or asked about them, than if they were so many wood-pigeons. But here it may be otherwise ; so I hope yeu have not made your friend immortal.”
‘*T hope not,” said the Captain, “‘ theagh my anger has been fatal to those who have given me less provocation. To say the truth, 1 was sorry for the lad notwithstanding, and especially as I was forced to leave him in mad keeping.”
‘*In mad keeping?” said Bunce; ‘‘ why, what means that?”
** You shall hear,” replied his friend. ‘In the first place, you are to know, this young man came suddenly on me while I was trying to gain Minna’s ear, for a private interview before I set sail, that I might explain my pur- pose to her. Now, to be broken into by the accursed rudeness of this young fellow at such a moment-——”
‘The interruption deserved death,” said Bunce, ‘ by all the laws of love and honor.”
‘*A truce with your ends of plays, Jack, and listen one moment. The brisk youth thonght proper to retort, when I commanded him to be gone. I am not, thou knowest, very patient, and enforced my commands with a blow, which he returned as roundly. We struggled, till I becaine desirous that we should part at any rate, which { could only effect by a stroke of my poniard, which, ac- cording to old use, I have, thou knowest, always about me. I had scarce done this when I reponted; but there was no time to think of anything save escape and conceal- ment, for, if the house rose oa me, I was lost ; as the fiery old man, who is head of the family, would have done justice on me had I been his brother, I took the body hastily on my shoulders to carry it dowu to the sea shore, with the purpose of throwing it into a riva, as they call them or chasm of great depth, where it would have been long enough in being dis- covered. This done, I intended to jump inte the boat which I had lying ready, and set sail for Kirkwall, But, as 1 was walking hastily towards the beach with my burden, the poor young fellow groaned, and so apprised me that the wound had not been instantly fatal. I was by this time well concealed amongst the rocks, and, far from desiring to complete my crime, I laid the young man on the ground and was doing what [| could to stanch the blocd, when suddenly an old woman stvod be- fore me, She wasa person whom I had fre- quently seen while in Zetland, and to whom they ascribe the character of a sorceress, or, as the Negroes, say. an Obi woman. She de- manded the wounded man of me, and I was too much pressed for time to hesitate in com- plying with her request. More she was about to say to me, when we heard the voice of a silly old man, belonging to the family, singing at some distance. She then pressed her fingers on her lip as a sign of secrecy, whistled very low, and a_ shapless, de- formed brute of a dwarf coming to her assist- ance, they carried the wou man into one of the caverns with which the place abounds, and 1 got to my boat and to sea with all ex- pedition. If that old hag he, as they say, connected with the King of the Air, she fav- ored me that morning wath a turn of her call- ‘ing; for not even the West Indian tornadoes which we have weathered together, mzde a wilder racket than the squall that drove me so far out of our course, that, without a pocket-compass, which I chanced to have about ne, I should never have recovered the Fair Isle, for which we run, and where I found a brig which brought me to this place. But, whether the old woman meant me weal or wo, here we came at length in safety from the sea, and here I remain id doubts and diffical- ties of more kinds than one.”
**Oh, the devil take the Sumburgh-head,” said Bunce, ‘‘ or whatever they call the rock that she knocked our clever little Revenge against.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Civil Service.
Sirx,—There ison ‘the part of certain Protestants a large amount of complaining because Catholics of late years are receiv- ing the lion's share uf positions under both governments, particularly under the so- called Catholic government, under the leadership of Hon. W. W. Sullivan. To show you that the Catholics ought to do some of this complaining, I ask you to give me some of your space. Beginning with the Dominion service, we look at the rail- way oftices, there we tind that out of twenty- three officials. There are three Catholics. In the Custom House, the Catholics are more fortunate, for there are four of that re- ligion out of fifteen officials. In the Post Office will Be found seventeen (including the janitor @nd his son). Out of this number four Cat hold positions, the last one appointed “in 1884; three appointments since that time. Why is it that there is such a small number of Catholics in the Civil Servige here. It may be said that it would not. do to turn officials out of office who have in for a period of years, No, it would bé unjust to do so; but could not Catholics appointed when a vacancy occurs. ere area few on the list of successful ‘candidates at previous Civil Service eXaminations; and could not one have been picked out for any of the ap- pointments made during the past four years. lo population they are 47,115, out of 108,891. That itself should give them precedenee to more of the pap that is dealt out. In the Local Government, thé gov- ernment which has been accused of giving so liberally to the Catholics, there are, in- cluding the Attorney-General, twenty- three officers, seven of whom ars those lucky persons who are receiving the Jion’s share, and they holding in both buildings very responsible and high positions as janitors, etc., etc. But Catholica must not say a word on this. If they were graced with such rare abilities as those in office, they would have a good share of the pap. Waether they have abilities or not, one thing, Mr. Editor, they have enough, to go through the ordeal of a Civil Service ex- amination, and when successful, receive a stereot certificate from Ottawa, and that is about all the benefit they get from the examination, and their fee, which, I think, is two dollars.
Hoping, Mr. Editor, this will give those grumblers an idea what they have to grumble about, I conclude.

Fire-making Mauia.
‘** How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!” So wrote Shakespeare a long while ago; but humanity has not changed much in the meantime. Now as then an_ irresiatible impulse todo an actis provoked by the sight of an instrument. The too handy revolver is responsible for half the mur- ders, since if it were not there just at the finger ends the quarrel or intrigue that now closes in blood would exhaust itself in bad language. The prevalence of dynamite cartridgesin all gangs of men doing en- gineers’ work has made common an entirely new class of crimes by making them easy. But there is no case in which the growth of a morbid impulse is so distinctly fostered and encouraged by opportunity and the sight of implements as inthe case of mania for kindling fires. People who have this mania are as much agitated at the sight of a box of matches as an old toper is at the sparkle of light through the glass sides of a decanter of whiskey. They are mad to usethem. It sets imagina- tion aglow. They revel in the delight of the flames they can produce with a glee that might be called fiendish if they could contemplate or comprehend the moral side of the case. The thing seems strange, yet there is no real mystery in it. It isa disease, a morbid excessive development of some original, natural instinet. For the hearthstone is the first altar, and making a fire there is one of the primitive instincts; one of the best instincts, moreover, because around a fire gathers that first and best of all circles, the family circle. Man has been defined by one philosopher as the fire-making animal. The first certain evidence of the existence of man in the physical history of the earth is the discovery of the cinders and the cracked stones where he made his first fires; end the family fire was the earliest domestic institution. Just as the homicida) mania is perhaps some blind extension of the instinct of defence, and the theft mania, an equally blind development of the instinct of acquisition, so the firemaking mania ia a diseased form of the instinct to make things bright and cheery with a fire,—resultin in many of the disastrous fires which have lately occurred in Montreal and throughout Canada.
