Julian endeavoured, during this speech, to
think Of arguments to meet it, but as his COM
panion grew more animated, rose up and dis
played his noble form, his eyes sparkled with
noble ardOur and enthusiasm, and remin-
ded him Of Coriolanus, facing host alone
in arms against the world, yet sustaining him
self on his own equally poised spirit. he lost
every other consideration in admiration, and
70. moment the mind of Julian wavered, but
the winding up Of the subject restored him to
himself again.
During the day Julian thought several times
that he observed something in the voice, and
appearance of this desperate not altogether
new to him-yet his memory was vuinly rack
ed in endeavouring to identify him with some
person he had before seen. And, from the
side gances and smiles which he occasionally
detected the former bestowing upon him. be
had a suspicion that he was not altogether so
much of a stranger to him as he seemed to be
willing Julian should SUPPOSE.
No sail had greeted the watchful ewes of Ju-
lian this day; and he proposed at evening tha,
they should kindle fire on the summit Of the
high rock 10 intimate to any passing vessel,
that shpwrccked mariners were on the Is
land.
" And are you SO soon weary ofmy compn.
N.Y." replied the pirate.
81 am desirous of getting from this desolatc
spot as quick as possible said Julian.
"Know then young man." said the pirate,
"that it is in my power TO set you on one Of
the Sandwich islands at any time, but hope
you are not in hurry to leave your adopted
father"
Julian looked around-no canoe. no raft,
skiff or boat presented itself to his view
"You mean," said the the youth, "that
you could build a boat to convey me in.''
Gentleman adventures. do not stoop to
build boats" said the pirate, with a dark
smile.
The next morning Julian awoke refreshed,
and after partaking Of wholesome food, sailed
out Of the hut. He thought the bread which
he had eaten, seemed too fresh 10 have bee IN
ten weeks in keeping, and he knew the Pirate
had no accommodations for baking. But how
much did it add to his perplexi,y when saun-
tering on the beach, he beheld the light trac
Of female! He was too prudent to mention
this circumstance to his companion, but deter
mined, the next time. TO pretend sleep. and
keep look out for visitors Accordingly, he
retired to rest at a late hour and lay awake
the'greater part Of the night, but his compan-
ion seemed as little inclined to disturb the ST.
lcnce which regncd around as himself. unless
il was by his louy and'loud snoring.
Julan's Unsuitable curiosity kept him awake
the next night also. but he arose in the morn
ing as ignorant as he was before. The Pi-
rates total silence on the subject induced Ju-
Ian to doubt his cognizange Of the affair, and
he had partly resolved to inform him of his
discovery, when something occurred to tun
his thoughts into a different channel He had
wandered a considerable distance alone from
the hut, where he left the Pirate. he lay down
on fiat rock, and stepped his senses in obliv-
ion.
On awaking, he could scarcely credit his
senses at beholding an Indian girl Of most ro-
mantle beauty. standing above bis head on a
rock and looking down upon him. Her long
black hair covered her shoulders. and waved
down her back-Hcr slender waist was gired
by broad green ribbon-th the rest Of her drcss
was all comprised IN neat blue frock-she
looked like an Eve created on the lonely isle
with every beauty and-srace which is aseribed
to the mother OF our race.
No sooner had the youth opened his eyes
than this noble figure glided a little distance
from him. and cried out in a musical soce,
"when the deer hath hs neck in the moose.
IL the moose be large he may draw il back!
Fly youth OF the hazel eyes Fly! When
