THE PIRATE.

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXXIX, (Continued.)

His meditations were here interrupted by Jack Bunce, who, hailing him noble captain, said they were ready to sail when he pleased. ‘* When you please, Bunce; for I shall leave the command with you, and gv ashore at Stromness,” said Cleveland. ‘“‘ You shall do no such matter, by Heaven !” answered Bunce. ‘*The command with me, truly! and how the devil am I to get the crew to obey me? Why, even Dick Fletcher rides rusty on me now and then. You know well enough that, without you, we shall all be at each other’s throats in half an hour ; and, if.you desert us, what a rope’s end does it signify whether we are destroyed bythe king’s cruisers or by each other? Come, come, noble Captain, there are black-eyed girls enough in the world, but, where, will you find so tight a seaboat as the little Favor- ite here, manned as she is with a set of tear- ing lads, ’* Fit to disturb the peace of all the world, And rule it when ‘tis wildest ?” ‘‘You are a precious fool, Jack. Bunce; said Cleveland, haif angry, and, in despite of himself, half diverted by the false tones .and exaggerated gesture of the stage-struck pirate, ‘Jt may be so, noble Captain,” answered Bunce, ‘‘ and it may be that I have my com- rades in my folly. Here are you, now, going to be 4 All for Love, and the World well Lost and yet you cannot bear a harmless bounce in blank verse. Well, I can talk prose for the matter, for I have news enough to tell—and

‘strange news, too—ay, and stirring news to

boot.

‘‘Well, prithee, deliver them (to speak thine own cant) like a man of this world,’ ‘*The Stromness fishers will accept nothing for their, provisions and trouble,” said Bunce —** there is a wonder for you!”

*‘And for what reason, I pray? said Cleve- land; ‘‘it is the first time I have ever heard of cash being refused at a sea-port.” ‘*True—they commonly lay the charges on as thick as if they were caulking. But here is the matter. The owner of the brig yonder, the father of your fair Imoinda, stands pay- master, by way of thanks for the civility with which we treated his daughters, and that we may not meet our due, as he calls it, on these

shores.” “Jt is like the frank-hearted old Udaller !”

said Cleveland; “‘but is he then at Strom- ness’? I thought he was to have crossed the island for Kirk wall,”’

‘“‘He did so purpose,” said Bunce; but more folks than King Duncan change the course of their voyage. He was no sooner ashore than he was met with by a meddling old witch of those parts, who has her finger in every, man’s pie, and by her counsel he changed his purpose of going to Kirkwall, and lies at anchor for the present in yonder white house, that you may see with your glass up the lake yonder. I am_ told the old woman clubbed also to pay for the sloop’s stores. Why she should shell out the boards [ cannot conceive an idea, except that she is said to be a witch, and may befriend us asso many devils.”

‘*But who told yon allthis?” said Cleve- land, without using his spy-glass, or seeming so much interested in the news as his comrade had expected,

‘“ Why,” replied Bunce, ‘‘I made a trip ashore this morning to the village, and had a can with an old acquaintance, who had been sent by Master Troil to look after matters, and I fished it all out of him, and more, too, than I am desirous of telling you, noble Cap- tain.”

‘“And who is your intelligencer?”’ said Cleveland ; ‘* has he got no name?”

‘‘Why, he is an old, fiddling, foppish ac- quaintance of mine called Halero, if you must know,” said Bunce.

‘‘Halero!” echoed Cleveland, his eyes sparkling with surprise—‘‘Claud Halcro ?— why he went ashore at Inganess with Minna and her sister. Whore are they?

‘Why, that is just what I did not want to tell you,” replied the contidant—*‘* yet hang me if I can help it, for I cannot balk a fine situation. That start had a fine effect. Oh, ay, and the spy-glass is turned on the House of Stennis now! Well, yonder they are, it must be confessed —indifferently well guarded, too. Some of the old witch’s people are come over. from that mountain

d| ofan island—Hoy, as they call it; and the old

entleman had got some fellows under arms himself, But what of all that, noble Captain ? —give you but the word and we snap up the wenches to-night—clap them under hatches— man the eapstern by daybreak—up top-sails —and sail with the morning tide.”

“You sicken me with your villainy,” said Cleveland, turning away from him.

‘‘ Umph!—villainy, and sicken you,” said Bunce. ‘‘ Now, pray, what have I said but what has been done a thousand times by gen- tlemen of fortune like ourselves?”

} <* Mention it not again,” said Cleveland; then took a tren along the deck, in deep medi- tation, and, coming back to “Bunce, took him by the hand, and said, ‘‘ Jack, I will see her once more.”

‘‘ With all-my heart,” said Bunce, sullenly.

‘Once more will I see her, and it may be to abjure at her feet this cursed trade, and expiate my offences——” 4

‘At the gallows,” said Bunce, completing the sentence. ‘With all my heart!—confess and be hanged is a most reverned proverb,

‘“‘ Nay—but, dear Jack!” said Cleveland.

“ Dear Jack!” answered Bunce, in the same sullentone—‘t A dear sight you have been to dear Jack. But hold your own course—I have done with caring for you for ever—I should but sicken you with my villainous counsels.”

“ Now must | smoothe this silly fellow as if he were a spoiled child,” said Cleveland, speaking at Bunce, but not to him; “and yet he has sense enough, and bravery enough too; and one could think, kindness enough to know that men don’t pick their words during a gale of wind.”

“Why, that’s true, Clement,” said Bunce, “and there is my hand upon it—And, now I think upon it, you shall have your last interview, for it’s out of my lime to prevent a parting scene ; and what signifies a tide—we can sail by to-morrow’s ebb as well as by this.”

THE NEW POLICY.

WHAT IT INVOLVES.

Speech of Hon. George Foster,

(Hansard Report.) [ CONTINUED. |

So it is not a sufficient remedy that we should adopt this heroic remedy because the pat expression is given vent to that we have no natural market, and that we need the United States for a natural market. Again, the loss of population was an argu- ment advanced by the hon. gentleman. We must revolutionize the condition of this country, we must step out on an un- known plank, we must leave the ground upon which. we have stood for years, we must burn the bridges and cut the connec- tions which are dear to us, because there has been a movement of population in this country. I do not deny that there has been a movement of population. 1 do not deny that there is always a movement of population from older countries to new countries, and from the older parts of new

‘countries to the newer parts, Thatisa

world-wide fact, especially as far as the

movement of population from Europe to

America is concerned, and more especially

in regard to the Anglo-Saxon race. My, hon, friend was mathematically precise in

his proofs. He brought it down to an

exact statement that one out of four of

the Canadian people is, as he unfortunately said, exiled to a foreign country, and that

three out of four of the foreign people who come to this country land themselves in the country which lies to the south and west of us. Will youthink of what followed that statement which was.so precise, so mathematically certain, so definite in its proportioas of one to four and three to four, in the way of argument to prove that that ‘was so! It needs simply for me to say, and the hon. gentlemen that heard the speech, or, if they did not hear it, who will read the speech, will bear me out, that the

ARGUMENT WAS TOTALLY INADEQUATE

to the assertion, and that the assertiou re- mains unproved. But the member for South Oxford (Sir Richard Cartwright) has more than that to do. He has to prove not only that there has been this move- ment of population, but that the heroic remedy which he proposes will stop that movement. The larger portion of the argument of last night and of to-day was totally irrelevant, and J shall not attempt to deal with it. Let ihose hon. gentlemen beat upon it until the anvil is beaten out by the hammer. It has nothing to do with the question unless you. establish, in ad- dition to that, that, if we adopt this pro- posal, that movement of population will cease. Will hon. gentlemen think fora moment of why the movement of popula- tion takes place from older countries to newer? Will my hon. friend from Prince Edward Island (Mr. Davies) think a little more on that question, a little hard think- ing would not hurt him, will he ask himself why people leave Prince Ed- ward Island for the west? He says it is not on account of the scil—granted 3 that it is not on account of the climate—

ranted ; that it is not on account of the fits under which he live and the flag under which we live—granted. Why, then, do they leave? They leave mainly jfor two reasons : one, becausethey seek industrial employment which shall bring them in a larger amount for their earnings, and the other, to get on lands broader and freer so that they may be able to try their agricul- tural capacities on these larger lands. Those are the principal reasons why they leave the older portions of the country. Un- fortunately there was a long period when Canada had no Northwest, when she had no broad prairie country to which her children could go, but the United States of America had a broad prairie country which was opened vp by lines of railways and into which the surplus population and the adventurous population of the older states of America, looking for broader and freer privileges in regards to land, went and gradually settled. The people of Western New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Ilhnois went further west as the lines of communi- cation were opened up, and many of our own people went there, impelled by the same considerations and settled in the Western States, and the seed always brings the accumulation, and the nucleus which was planted there drew upon those who remain. And, sir, if Canada ever wished to keep her independent and prosperous course, it was of the first importance that she should have and open out for herself acountry of broad lands, a country of prairie freedom, 4 country of those new conditions, sir, it was eminently wise that the Northwest should be added, and wiser still that it should be opened up, and all the wiser because of the keen competition which that country and Canada had to face in comparison with the United States of America. Now, sir, we are in the position that when our people from the older Pro- vinces wish broader and freer lands, they can go out into,

OUR OWN NORTHWEST,

where the great body of the people who go from our older sections to-day are turning their steps, and where they will make their homes under the same fiag and_ will still remain citizens of Canada. My honorable and philosophical friend shakes his head as though it were not so. Is it not more than it was twenty years ago! Is it mot more than it was five years ago? Is it not more and more so each year? Let time have its

sway, let the country open up, let the prosperous years repeat themselves, let the nucleus of population go im there trom
