‘‘Ah, poor kinswoman!’ said Srenda. ‘* But believe you, father, in the high powers which she claims—in the mysterious vision of the dwarf—in the——”
She was inter:upted in these questions by Magnus, to whom they were obviously dis- pleasing.
‘*T believe Brenda,” he said, ‘‘ according to the belief of my forefathers-—I pretend not to be a wiser man than they were in their time ~and they all believed that, in cases of great worldly distress, Providence opened the eyes of the mind, and aftorded the sufferers a vision of futurity. It was but a trimming of the boat, with reverence,’—lhere he touched his hat reverentially; ‘‘and after all the shifting ot ballast, poor Norna is as heavily loaded in the bows as ever was an Orkneyman’s yawl at the dog-fisning—she has more than affliction enough on board to balance whatever gifts she may have had in the midst of her calam ity. They areas painful to her, poor soul, as a crowr. of thorns would be to her brows though it were the badge of the empire of Denmark. And do not you, Brenda, seek to

be wiser than your fathers. Your sister Minna reverence for whatever was produced in Norse, as if it -d been in the Popes’s bull, which is all Witter fh oh ng ;
‘* Poor Norna !” replied Brentha ; child—was it never recovered ?”
** What do I know of her child?” said the Udaller, more gruiily than befcre, ‘* except that she was very ill, both before and after the birth, though we kept her as merry as we could with pipe and harp, and so forth ;—the child had come before its time into this bustl- ing world, so it is likely it has been long dead, —But you know nothing of all these matters, Brenda; so get along for a foolish girl, and ask no more questions about what it does not become you to inquire into.”
So saying, the Udaller gave his sturdy little palfrey the spur, and cantering forward over rough and smooth, while the pony’s accuracy and firmness of step put all ditliculties of the path at secure defiance, he placed himself svon by the side ot the melancholy Minna, and per- mitted her sister to have no farther share in his conversation than as it was addressed to them jointly. She could but comfort her self with the hope, that, as Minna’s disease appeared to have its seat in the imagination, the remédies recommended by Norna might have some chance os being effectual, since, in all probability, they would be addressed to the same faculty.
Their way had hitherto held chiefly over moss and moor, varied occasionally by the necessity of making a circuit around the heads of those long lagoons, called voes, which run up into and indent the country in such a manner, that, though the Mainland of Zet- land may be thirty miles or more in length, there is, perhaps, no part of it which is more than three miles distant from the salt water. But they had now approached the north- western extremity of the isle, and travelled along the top of an immense ridge of rocks, which had for ages withstood the rage of the Northern Ocean, and of all the winds by which it is butieted.
At length Magnus exclaimed to his daugh- ters: ‘“‘There is Norna’s dwelling! Look up, Minne, my love; for if this does not make you laugh nothing will. Saw you ever any- thing but an osprey that would have made such a nest for herself as that is? By my namesake's bones, there is not the like of it that living thing ever dwelt in, (having no wings and the use of reason,) un- less it chance to be the Frawa-Stack off Papa, where the King’s daughter of Norway was shut up to keep her from her lovers and all to little purpose, if the tale is true; for, maidens.

The dwelling of Norua, though none but a native of Zetland, tamiliar, during the whole life, with every variety of rock-scenery, could have seen any thing ludicrous in this situa- tion, was not unaptly compared by Magnus Troil, to the eyry of the osprey, or sea eagle. {t was very small, and had been fabricated out of one of those dens which are called Burghs and Picts-houses in Zetland, and Duns on the mailand of Scotland and the Hebrides and which seem to be the first effort at architecture-—the connecting Jink betwixt a fox’s hole in a cairn of loose stoues, and an attempt to construct a human, habitation out of the same materials, without the use of lime or cement of any kind,—without any timber, so far as can be seen from their re- mains,—without any knowledge of the arch or of the stair. Such as they are, however, the numerou: remains of these dwellings, for there is one ‘ound on every headland, islet, or point of vantage, which could afford the inhabitants additional means of defence, tend to prove that the remote people by whom these remote Burghs*were constructed, were con- structed, were a numerous race, and that the islands had then a much greater popalation, than, from other circumstances, we might jhave been led te anticipate.
The Burgh of which we at present speak, had been alterel and repaired at a later period, probably by some petty despot, or} sea-rover, who, tempted by the security of the| situation, which occupied the whole of a pro- jeeting point of rock and was divided from the mainland by a rent or chasm of some depth, had built some additions te it in the rudest style of Gothic defensive architecture; —had plastered the inside with lime and clay and broken out windows for the admission of
light and air ; and, finally, by roofing it over, and dividing it into stories, by means of beams of wreck-wood, had converted the
dovecot, formed by a double wall, still con- taining within its thickness that set of circular galleries, or eccentric rings, which is proper to all the forts of this primitive con- struction, and which seem to have constituted the only shelter which they were originally
inhabants. (To be continued.)

Cablegram From the Pope.
©’ BRIEN—LOV- GRACE AND BENEDIC-
TO HIS GRACK ARCHBISHOP INGLY BESTOWING UPON HIS THE FAITHFUL, THE APOSTOLIC TION.
The following is a translation of an ad- drass of the Archbishop and Bishops of the Maritime Provinces, sent to the Pope, on the occasion of his Golden Jubilee:
Mosr Hony Fatner:—The Archbishop and Bishops of the ecclesiastical Province of Halifax, united among themselves by the bond of faith and fraternal love, and mindful of their devotion towards the Holy See, especial - ly in this most joytul. time when the whole Catholic world is celebrating your Jubilee, hasten to offer you our congratulations and best wishes.
‘logether with Your Holiness we give joy- ful thanks to God for your preservation to the fiftieth year of your priesthood, and we ardently pray that you may be spared for many long years to give admonition replete with lofty wisdom both to the Church and to the nations.
We who live in the midst of controversies that spring from false principles, or are up- he'd by unsound doctrines, well know the benefit conferred [by you, Most Holy Father, on useful and accurate scholarship by your encyclival letters in which it is clearly shown that all sound human knowledge can be amicably recommended with the dogmas of faith.
‘* From Sion shall go forth a law,” spake of old the prophet, ‘‘ and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem ;” which prophesy is no less perfectly fulfilled now of Rome than formerly of Jerusalem, you enunciating the law to be observed by nations in civic affairs, and the true doctrine to be held everywhere by the people.
This is, indeed, a cause of jubilee to us. Most Holy Father, and a reason for rejoicing at the triuuphs-gained ; but sorrow and grief east their shadows on our 30ul when we think of you the prisoner of a hostile pewer,—and patrimony of the church despoiled,—the- most sacred rights ot your civil princedom attacked by force and fraud, and shamefally trampled under foot.
Against these injuries done to the whole church we raise our voices, and we unhesita- tingly assert that the civil principality of the Roman pontiffs should be restored to the suc- cessor of St. Peter, though the efforts of the Catholic world. May God grant that this year of jubilee may be written in the annals of the church as the year of the restoration of the rights of the holy see.
In the meantime, Most Hoiy Father, whilst we offer our congratulations, we beseech the Author of Life that he may lead you by the hand sate and unshaken amid the changes of the world, to a ripe age.

A CABLEGRAM FROM THE POPE.
In answer to a cablegram conveying the best wishes and congratulations of the Archbishop, Clergy and Laity of the Diocese of Halifax, sent directly to the Holy Father by the Archbishop on the occasion of his Jubilee, the following an- swer was received :—-
To Arcuzisnor O’Brien, Halifax.
The good wishes of Your Grace, *the clergy and the people were most pleasing to the Holy Father, and he lovingly bestows on you and on all the faithful the Apostolic Benedic- tion.
(Signed) CARDINAL RAMPOLLA, a Pope Leo’s Reply to Quecn Victoria.
This is the full text of the reply made by the Pope when the Duke of Norfolk, the Queen's special envoy, presented Queen Victoria's autograph letter acknowledginys the jubilee gift sent to her by His Holiness, and also carried out her instructions ver- bally to congratulate him on his own ap- proaching jubilee :
‘It was with pleasure that we sent our special representative to London six months ago, charged to offer in our name to Her Majesty the Queen of England our congratu- lations on the 50th anniversary of her glorious accession to the throne. Our joy is not less in receiving to-day from Your Grace the con- gratulations and the compliments of the Queen, your Sovereign, on the occasion of our priestly jubilee. We accept Her Majesty's missive with gratitude, and thank her for the choice which she has made of your illustrious person, 80 dear to us, in order tu convey that missive to us.
‘‘We would further, on this specially propitious day, publicly testifiy our great satisfaction with the liberty which the Catholic religion enjoys thoroughout the vast British empire, andg which permits that religion{to prosper more and more, This happy result —we love to acknowledge it—is due to the profound wisdom of her majesty andto the enlightened spirit of her govern- ment.”
‘Will your grace be good enough to con vey our sentiment to Her Majesty the Queen, whose glory and prosperity we most ardently hope for?”
