THE PIRATE.

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XVIII. ( Continued. )

There was a loud jubilee and shout of ap- plause among the guests, who were (some of them at least) better pleased with Magnus ‘Troil’s latitudinarian principles with respect to the public revenue, (which were extremely natural to those living in so secluded a situa- tion, and subjected to many additional exac- tions,) than,they had been with the rigour of his judgment on the subject of wrecked goods. But Minna’s inexperienced feelings carried her farther than her father, while she whisper- ed to Brenda, not unheard by Cleveland, that the tame spirit of the Orcadians had missed every chance which late incidents had given them to emancipate these Islands from the Scottish yoke.

‘‘ Why,” she said, “should we not, under so many changes as late times have introduced, have seized the opportunity to \shake off an allegiance which is justly due from us, and to return to the protection of Denmark, our parent country? Why should we yet hesitate té do this, but that the gentry of Orkney have mixed families and friendship so much with our invaders, that they have become dead to the throb of the heroic Norse blood, which they derived from their ancestors *”’

The latter part of this patriotic speech happened to reach the astonished ears of our friend Triptolemus, who, having a sincere deyotion for the Protestant succession, and the Revolation as established, was surprised into the ejattlation, **As the old cock crows the young§ cock learns—ben 1 should say, mistress, and I crave your pardon if I say any thing amiss.in either gender, But it is a happy country where the father declares against the king's customs, and the daughter against the king’s crown; and, in my judgment, it can end in naething but trees and town.”

‘‘ Trees are scarce among us,” said Magnus, ‘and for ropes, we need them for our rigging, and cannot spare them to be shirt collars.”

‘* And whoever,” said the Captain, ‘‘ takes umbrage at what this young lady says, had better keep his ears and tongue fora safer employment than such an adventure.”

“ Ay, ay,” said Triptolemus, ‘‘it helps the matter much tospeak truths, whilk are as un- welcome to a proud stomach as wet clover to a cow’s, in aland where lads are ready to draw the whittle if a lassie but looks awry, But what maaners are to be expected in a country where folk call a plough-sock a mar- kal!”

‘‘Hark ye, Master Yellowley,” said the Captain, smiling, ‘I hope” my manners are not among those abuses which you come hither to reform; any experiment on them may be dangerous.”

“ Ag well as difficult,” said Triptolemus, dryly ; but fear nothing, Captain Cleveland, from my réemonstranees. My labors regard the men and things of the earth, and not the men and things of the sea—you are not of my element.”

“* Let us be friends, then, old elod-compel- ler,”’ said the Captain.

‘‘ Clod-compeller !” said the agriculturist, bethinking himself of the lore of his earlier days ; ‘‘ Clod-compeller pro cloud-compeller— Grecum est--in which voyage came you by that phrase ?”

“| have travelled books as well as seas in my day,” said the Captain ; ‘* but my last voyages have been of a sort to make me forget my eat lier eruises through classic knowledge. —But come here, Bryce—hast cast off the lashing ?—Come all hands, and let us see if he has aught in his cargo that is worth looking upon.”

With a prond, and, at the same time,a wily amile, did the crafty pedlar display a collec- tion of wares far superior to those which usually filled his packages, and, in particular some stuffs and embroideries, of such beauty and curiosity, fringed, flowered and worked, with such art and magnificence, upon foreign and arabesque patterns, that the sight might have dazzled afar more. brilliant gompany than the simple race of Thule. All beheld and admired, while Mistress Baby Yellowly, hold- ing up her hands, protested it was asin even to look upon such extravagance, and worse than murder so much as to ask the price of them.

Others, however, were more courageous ; and the price demanded by the merchant, if they were not as he himself declared,something just more than nothing—short only of an ab- solute free gift of his wares, were neverthe- less so moderate, as to show that he himself must have made an easy acquisition of the goods, judging by the rate at which he offered to part with-them. Accordingly, the cheap- ness of the articles created a rapid sale ; for in Zetland, as well as elsewhere, wise folk buy more from the prudential desire to secure a good bargain, than from any real occasion for the purchase. The Lady Glowrowrum bought seven petticoats and twelve stoamachers on this sole ewer, and other matrons present rivalled her in this sagacions species of economy, The Udaller was also a considerable purchaser; but the principal customer for whatever could please the eye of beauty, was the gallant Captain Cleveland, who ruammaged the jagger’s stores in selecting presents for the ladies of the party, in which Minna and Brenda Troil were specially 1emembered.

‘*[ fear,” said Magnus Troil, ‘* that the young women are to consider these pretty presents as keepsakes,and that all this liberal- ity is only a sure sign we are to lose you *”

This question seemed to embarrass him to whom it was put.

“J scarce know,” he said, with some hesita- tion, ‘‘ whether this vessel is my consort or no—I must take a trip to Kirkwall fair, to settle with the merchants I have consigned my fish to, and I have oftened promised Minna and Brenda that they should see the fair. Perhaps also your consort, or these strangers, whoever they be; may have some -merchandize that will suit me. I love to see my vigging- loft well stocked with sods, almost as much as to see it full of dancers. We will goa ‘to Orkney in my own brig, and I can offer you a hammock, if you will.”

VOL. 92.—NO. 2. Esprit de Corps and Scottish Regi- ments.

The clannish feelings of Scotsmen are, of course, well kuown, and have been i'ius- trated many times; but the latest, and probably one of the most advantageous re- sults of this esprit de corps has been in- stanced in the manner the Highland regi- ments in Britain have recruited since the introduction of the localization scheme. The 95th Highlanders donot accept any man who was born south of the Tweed, the 42nd (the Black Watch) and the 26th (Cameronians) will not admit any men to their ranks except they come from Scottish parents, while the 78th (the Ross-shire Butfs), the Cameron Highlanders and the Gordon Highlanders recruit only in their districts. The reports from the regimental! depots state that county men are now com ing for enlistment in the regiments named aiter their counties or clans, and the standard of these regiments—aiways good —is now even impreying, from a physical and educational standpoint. At the 'pre- sent time the Ist Seaforth Highlanders is, says the Scottish Leader, perhaps the niost representative Highland battalion in the service. Its full strength is 814, made up as follows : Scottish, 669; English, 115; Welsh, Irish, and Colonial, 30. Of the above, 251 speak the Geelic, hailing from the Western and Island clans and whose mother tongue is the good old tongue; 107 speak their own language, but learned Eng- lish and speak it better than the Geelic; 91 are from the central districts and only speak a little of the Scottish tongue; the remainder are Lowlanders, but bear the patronymics of Highland and border clans, claiming Celtic ancestry; 184 of these bear the Celtic prefix Mac. Amongst the claws the most numerously represented is the one that was the inost powerful in the old days —before Bishop McDonald brought out his faithful foliowers in 1786 to Canada, and before the Rey. Father McRae and Me- Donell went out to New Zealand as pion- eers to the hundreds who now farm t'e southern Island—the MacDonalds, 24. There are : McKenzies, 19; Frasers, 19; Mackays, 15; Campbells, 15; Ross, 10; the clan Chattan (Macphersons and Mackin- tushes) 10; Stuarts, 10; Munros, Camerons, Sutherlands, 26; and among the Island clans of the Quter Hebrides who were for- merly the vassals of the great Earls of Sea- forth, Macleods, 23; Macleans, 15: Morri- sons, 10; Macivors, Macaulays, Macaskills, Macullochs, Finlaysons, 19. When the regiment was raised by the Ear! of Seaforth, there were 420 Macraes in its ranks, but most of that clan are now in this conntry or in New Zealand. There are but four representatives of this clan now in this re- giment. About a third are Roman Catho- lies, the remainder, with the exception of 134 are Presbyterians. Fort George and the other centres in Scotland are doing much by the presence of the kilted regi- ments there to dispel the prejudice once entertained against the service, owing to the presence of regiments other than Scot- tish, and recruits now join the cvlors in great numbers, every month. n> ap
