sentment against the young man, for his vain and braggart abuse of our hospitality. Do not therefore, boast of your exploit too much,, my gvod friend, lest you should make me think that it required too great an effort. I know you love not Mordaunt Mertoun, though youexposed your own life to save his.”

‘Will you allow nothing, then,” said Cleveland, “for the long misery I was made to endure from the common, and prevailing report, that this beardless, bird-hunter stood betwixt me and what Ifon earth coveted most —\he affections of Minna Troil !”’

Ue spoke in a tone at once impassioned and manner seemed to express a grace and ele- gance, which formed the most striking con- trast® with the speech and gesture of thé un- polished seaman, which he usually affected or exhibited. But his apology was unsatisfac- tory to Minna. | ‘* You have known,” she said, ‘* perhaps too i

soon, and too well, how littie you had to fear,

—if you indeed feared-—-that Mertoun, or any

other, had interest with Minna Troil. Nay,

‘truce to thanks and protestations; I would ac- icept it as the best proof of gratitude, that : you would he reconciled with this youth, or ; at least avoid every quarrel with him.”

t ‘*That we should be friends, Minna, is jimpossible,” rdplitd Cleveland; ‘‘even the

‘love I bear you, the most pewerful emotion ‘that my heart ever knew, carmot work that { miracle.”

i; “An why, I pray you?” said Minna; | ‘‘ there have been no evil offices between you, services ; be friends’ I have many | reasons to wish it.

‘‘And can you, then, forget the slights which he has cast upon Brenda, and on your- self, and on your father’s house ?

‘‘I can forgive them all,” said Miuna ;— ‘*can you not say so much, who have in truth received no cffence !” ‘

Cleveland looked down, and paused for an instant ; then raised his head, and replied, ‘* I might easily deceive you, Minna, del promise you what my soul tells me is an impossibility ; but 1 am forced to use too much deceit with others, and with you I will usenone. I can- not be friend to this young man ;—there is a natural dislike—an instinctive aversion— something like a principle of repulsion in our mutual nature, which makes us odious to each other. Ask himself—he will tell you he has the same antipathy against me. The obliga- tion he conferred on me wasa bridle to my resentment ; but I was so gailed by the rest- raint, that I could not have gnawed the curb till my lips were bloody.”

‘© You have worn what you are wont to call our iron mask so long, that your features,” »plied Minna, ‘* retain the impressions of its gidity even when it is removed.”

‘* You do me injustice, Minna,” replied her lover, ‘and youare angry with me _ because I deal with you plainly and honestly. Plainly and honestly, however, will I say, that I can- not be Mertoun’s friend, but it shall be his ewn fault, not mine, if I am ever his enemy. I seek not to injure him ; but do not ask me to love him, And of this remain satisfied, that it would be vain even if I could do so; for as sure as I attempted any advances towards his confidence, so sure would I be to awaken his disgust and suspicion. Leave us to the exercise of our natural feelings, which, as they will unquestionably keep us as far separate as possible, are most likely to prevent any pos sible interference with each other.—Does this satisfy you?”

‘‘Tt must,” said Minna, ‘‘since you tell me there is no remedy.—-And now tell me why you looked so grave when you heard of your consort’s arrival, —for that it is her I have no dloubt,—in the port of Kirkwall?”

‘I> fear,” replied Cleveland, ‘* the conse- juences of that vessel’s arrival with her crew, as comprehending the ruin of my fondest

y r ri

hopes. I had made some progress in your father’s favor, and, with time, might have

nade more, when hither come Hawkins and the rest so blight my prospects for ever. I told you on what terms we parted. I then commanded a vessel braver and better found than their own, with a crew who, at my slightest nod, would have faced fiends armed with their own fiery element; but I now stand alone, a single man, destitute of all means to overawe or to restrain them ; and they will soon show so plainly the ungovern- able license of their habits and dispositions, that ruin to themselves and to me will in all probability be the coasuquence.”

‘* Do not fear it,” said Minna; ‘‘ my father can never do so unjust as to hold you liable for the offences of others.’

‘* But what will Magnus Troil say to my own demerits, fair Minva?” said Cleveland, smiling. (4 "o be continued.)

In response to the notice of the meeting, Dr. Robertson, M. P., Hon. Alex. Martin, M. L. C., Manoah Rowe, Jas. D. Dewar, C. B. Fraser, J. Robertson and several other farmers attended at the Hall, but owing to the busy season of the year and the unfavorable state of the weather, the meeting was rather sli It was dec'ded

to adjourn until Wednesd sy, the 2Ist Jee. inst., at six o'clock p. m., when the meeting will be held. Itis huped that the adjourned meeting will be niumeiously attended, os farmers and others will then hove an oppor tunity of expressing their vewscither for or against the subject« wader cousideracion,

Land Transfer Reform in P. E. I.

Srmr,—While our trade problem is being warinly discussed, and the te mperace pattie

being fought, matters considered of less importance are apt to be overlooked. Of

these there is one that surely deserves the serious consideration of every person in this Province, viz.,a reform in the system of transferring land.

As the law now stands, no man can be sure that he is the owner of land, unless he can show, not only that he has paid for it, but that his deed is the last link in a chain chain of proper conveyances back for forty or sixty years. To show this necessitates a careful search and perusal of each conveyance given. A link is often missing, and there is delay till it is replaced. If not found the sale goes off. It is unnecessary to prove that the present system is inconvenient and expen- sive. Every one who has had any land transferred knows this to be true. Each new purchaser must have the whole title gone over again. Whenthere isa remedy to make this repetitionfunnecessary and to render the trans fer simple and inexpensive, surely those interested in land will see that it is adopted in P. E. Island. The remedy is to adopt the Towens system of transfer. By this the title is examined by an official appointed for the purpose, once for all, a _ certificate granted that is good ; on each transfer the old certificate is surrendered and a new sued to the purchaser whose title is indefeas ible. No transfer can be made except on the production of the certificate. Provision may be made for the issue of a new certificate case of loss of the old one. The certificate of title will also show if mortgages, etc., are given. A person can tell ata glance who is owner, and whether property 1s encumbered

one 18

or not. Itis needless at present to mention details of the system. It is sufficient to say that. it has been im successful operation in

Australia for a quarter of a century,gin British Columbia and Vancouver Island for about 20 years, and in Manitoba, N. W. T., and parts of Ontario for a short time. Let P. E. L. be the first of the Maritime Provinces to wake up to the necessity for this reform, and let it no longer be said that the Island to the west of our Great Dominion is away ahead of the Island to the east in this respect.

Coupled with this reform, the injustice to the farmers of Prince and King’s Counties must be remedied. At present there are no Registry Offices in these Counties. A farmer, who desires to see that the title to an acre of iand he is about to buy is good, is now com. pelled to go to the trouble and expense of a long trip to Charlottetown. This is sufficient of itself to make a man either take a doubtful or bad title, or prevent many a sale alto- gether How long will these Counties remain quiet on the subject? Surely there is a time

when patience ceases to bea virtue. The time is come when the present state of our Registry laws should be altered. Each

County capital must have an oflice for the Registry of Deeds, and of Titles, too, it is hoped, Let the people of these Counties look to their own interest, and allow the present system to continue no longer. The power is in their own hands. The Charlottetown Registry Office is too crowde | now, aud there

is barely oom to make a sea! The wiiter does met desis bs fas mers of Prince and Kiugs ai logzerheadis with

those of Queens. Far fiom it, Tue ob ect is to benefit the farmers of ‘oun .ie8

The Towens system, where itis introduced, has increased the price of land on account of rendering the transfer more simple, and doubtless it will have the same effect here. It is, as every common sense tarter knows, quite evident that a person will pay more for land if a good title is given immediately, and if the expense of carrying out the sale is known. It may be left optional tu the land owner for a certain time whether to register under the new system or not, But its advan- tages will be seen, so that ere long there is no doubt thatall the lands inthis Province would be registered under the new system. If the voters agitate this matter, and the newspapers lend their aid, there is no good reason why ‘‘An Act to Simplify the Title and Transfer of Land” should not grace the Revised Statutes ot P. E. Island now being prepared.

It is hard to do justice te this subject with. out taking up too much newspaper room, but it is hoped that the matter will be taken up and thoroughly discussed, so that the pro gress of our farmers be aided as well as the usefulness of our legislators displayed.
