CHAPTER I. (Continued. )
| ‘‘My good friend,” replied Mertoun, « ‘‘if you could have named a circumstance which would reuder the residence more eligible to me than any other, it is that there would be neither hman luxury nor haman society near , the place of my retreat; a shelter from the | weather for my own head, and fur the boy’s,is all I seek for. So name your rent Mr. Troil, and let me be your tenant at Jarishof.” **Rent?” answered the Zetlander ; ‘‘why, nd great rent for an vid house which no one has | lived in since my mother’s time—God rest her! —and as for shelter, the old walls are thick enough, and will bear many a bang yet. But, |Heaven love you, Mr. Mertoun, think what you are purposing. For one of us to live at Jartshof, were a wild scheme enough ; bat / you, who are from another country, whether , English, Scotch, or Irish, noone can tell——”’ | ‘Nor does it gravely matter,” said Mertoua, somewhat abruptly. | “‘Not a herring’s scale,” answered the | Laird; ‘‘only that [ like you. the better for being no Scot, as _I trust you are not one. , Hither they have come like the clagk-geese— eyery chamberlain has brought over a flock of ‘his own name, and his own hatching, for what 'I know, and here. they roost for ever~—catch ‘them returning to their own barren Highlands jor Lowlands, when once they have tasted our

same time animated his resentinent against the jintruders, and enabled him to endure the mortifying reflection which it suggested, )—~ ‘No, sir, the. ancient days and the genuine manners of these Islands are no more; for our ancient possessors,—our Patersons, our Feas} our Schlagbrenners, our Thorbiorns, have’ given place to Giffords, Scotts, Mouats, men whose names bespeak them or theu ancestors strangers to the soil which we the Troils have inhabited long before the days of Turf-Einar, who first taught these Isles the mystery of burning peat for fuel, and who has been handed down to a grateful posterity by a name which records the discovery.”
This was a subject upon which the poten- tate of Jarlshof was usually very diffuse, and Mertoun saw him enter upon it with pleasure, because he knew he should not be called upon to contribute any aid to the conversation, and might therefore indulge his own saturnine humor while the Norwegian Zetlander de- claimed on the change of times and inhabi- tants. But just as Magnus had arrived at the melancholy conclusion how probable it was that in another century scarce a merk—scarce even an wre of land, would be in the possession of the Norse inhabitants, the true Udallers* of Zetiand, he recollected the circumstances of his guest, and stopped suddenly short. ‘I

do not say all this,” he added, interrupting himself, ‘‘as if I were unwilling that you should settle on my estate, Mr. Mertoun— But for Jarlshot—the place isa wild one. Come from where you will, I warrant you
‘will say, like other travellers, you came from
a better climste than ours, for so say you all. And yet you think of a retreat which the very nativesrun away from. Will you not take your glass?” —(this was to be considered an in- terjection)—‘‘ then here's to you.”
‘** My good sir,” answered Mertoun, “‘I am indifferent to climate; if there is but air enough to fill my lungs, I care not if it be the breath of Arabia or Lapland.” ;
“Air enough you may have,” answered Magnus, ‘‘ a0 talk of that—somewhat damp; strangers allege it to be, but we know a cor? rective for that. Here’s to you, Mr. Mertoun, You must learn to do so, and to smoke a pipes and then, as you say, you will find the air of Zetland equal to that of Arabia. But have you seen Jarlshof ?”
The stranger admitted that he had not.
‘*Then,” replied Magnus, “‘ you have no idea of your undertaking. If you think it a comfortable roadstead like this, with the house situated’ on the side of an inland voe,t that brings the herrings up to yourdoor, you are mistaken, my heart. AtJarlshof you will see nought but the wild waves twmbling on the bare rocks, and the Roost of Sumburgh running at the rate of. fifteen knots an hour.”
‘* | shall see nothing at least, of the current of human passions,” replied Mertoun.
‘*You will hear nothing but the clanging and screaming cf scarts, sheer-waters, and sea-gulls, from daybreak till sunset.”
**T will compeund, my friend,” replied the stranger, *‘so that Ido not hear the chatter- ing of womens’ tongues.”
** Ah,” said the Norman, ‘‘ that is because you hear just now my little Minna and Brenda singing inthe garden with your Mordaunt. Now, I would rather listen to their little voices than the skylark which 1 once heard in Caithness, or the nightingale that I have read of. What will the girls do for want of their playmate Mordaunt ?”
‘* They will shift for themselves,” answered Mertoun; “ younger or elder they will find oe or dupes. But the question is, Mr.
roil, will you let to me, as your tenant, this old mansion of Jarlshof ?”
**Gladly, since you make it your option to live in a spot so desolate.”
** And as ror the rent?” continued Mertoun.
‘*The rent?” replied Magnus; ‘Shum—why, you must have the bit of plantie cruive,(1)which they once called a garden, and a right in the cathold, and a sixpenny merk of land, that the tenants may fish for you; eight lispunds(2) of butter, and eight shillings sterling yearly, is not too much ?”
Mr. Mertoun agreed to terms so moderate, and from thenceforward resided chiefly at the solitary mansion which we have described in the beginning of this chapter, conforming not only without complaint, but, as it seemed, with a sullen pleasure, to all the privations which so wild and desolate a situation neces- sarily imposed on its inhabitant.
CHAPTER II.
The few inhabitants of the township of Jarishof had at first heard with alarm, that a person of rank superior to their own was come to reside in the ruinous tenement, which they still called the Castle. In those days

VOL. 21.—NO. 94. (for the present times are greatly altered for the better) the presence of a superior, in such a situation, wat almost certain to be attended with additional burdens and exactions, for which, under one pretext or another, feudal customs furnished a thousand apologies, By exch of these, a part of the tenants’ hard-won and precarious profits was diverted for the use of their powerful neighbor and superior, tecksman, as he was called. But the sub-t nants speedily found that no oppression of this kiud was to be apprehend- ed at the hands of Basil Mertoun. His own means, whether large or small, were at least fully adequate to his expenses, which, so far as regarded his habits of luxuries of aiew books, and some philosophical instruments, with which he was supplied from London as occasion offorded, seemed to indicate a degree of wealth unusual in these islands; but, on the other hand, the table and the accommodations at Jarlshof, did not exceed what was main- tained by a Zetland proprietor of the most inferior description.
The tenants of the hamlet troubled them- selves very little about the quality of their superior, as soon as they foand that their situation was rather to be mended than ren- (lered worse by his presence; and, once re- lieved from the app: ehension of his tyranizing over then, they laidtheir heads together to make the most of him by various petty tricks of overchange and extortion, which fora while the stranger submitted to with the most philosuphic inditlerence. An incident, how- ever, occurred, which pathis character in a new light, and effectually checked all future efforts at extravagant imposition.
A dispute arose in the kitchen of the Castle betwixt an old governante, who acted as housekeeper t> Mr. Mertoun, and Sweyn Erickson, as good a Zetlander as ever rowed a boat to the haaf(3) fishing; which dispute, as is usual in such
cases, was muintained with such increasing heat and vociferation as to reach the ears of
the master (as he was called,) who, secluded in a solitary turret, was deeply employed in examining the contentents of a new package of books from London, which, after long ex- pectation, had fcund its way to Hall, from thence by a whaling vessel to Lerwick, and so to Jarlshof. With more than the usual thrill of indignation which indolent people always feel when roused into action on some unpleas- ant occasion, Mertoun descended to the scene ‘of contest, and so suddenly. peremptorily, and strictly, inquired the cause of dispute, that the parties, notwithstanding every eva- sion which they attempted, became unable to disguise from him that their differeuce res- pected the several interests to which the honest governante, and no less honest fisher- man, were respectively entitled, in an over- charge of about one hundred per cent on a bargain of rock-cod, purchased by the former from the latter, for the use of the family at Jarishof.
When this was fairly ascertained and con- fessed Mr. Mertoun stood looking upon the culprits with eyes in which the utmost scorn seemed to contend with awakening passion. ‘‘Hark you, ye old hag,” said he at length to the old housekeeper, ‘avoid my house this instant ! and know that I dismiss you, not for being a liar, a thief, and an ungrateful quean, —for these are qualities as proper to you as your name of woman,—but for daring, in my house, to scold above your breath.—And for you, you rejscal, who suppose you may cheat a stranger aj you would fliuch (4) ajwhale,
know that I am well acquainted with the
rights which, by delegation from your
mester, Magnus Troil, I can exercisee over you, if I will. Provoke me to a certain
pitch, and you shall learn, te your cost, I can
break your rest as easily as you can interrupt
my leisure. I know the meaning of scat, and wattle, and hawkhen and hagalef, and every other exaction by which your lords, in ancient and modern days, have wrung your withers ; nor is ‘there one of you that shall not rue the day that you conld not be content with rob- bing me of my money, but must also break in on my leisure with your atrocious northern
clamor, that rivals in discord the screaming of Arctic gulls.”
Nothing better occurred to Sweyn, in answe, to this objurgation,than the preferring ahumble request tnat his honor would be pleased to keep the cod-fish without payment,
and say no more about the matter; but by
this time Mr. Mertoun bad worked up his passions into an ungovernable rage, and with hand he threw the money at the fishermen’s head, while with the other he pelted him out of the apartment with his own fish, which he finally flung out of doors after him.
There was so much of appalling and tyrannic
fury in the stranger's manner on this occasion,
that Sweyn neither stopped to collect the money nor take back his commodity, but fled at a precipitate rate to the small hamlet, to tell his comrades that if they provoked Master Mertoun any farther, be would turn an
absolute Pate (5) Stewart on their hand, and head and hang without either judgment or mercy.
Hither also came the discarded housekeeper, to consult with her neighbors and kindred (for she too was a native of the village) what she should do to regain the desirable situation from which she had been so suddenly expelled. The old Ranzellaar of the — who had the voice most potential in the deliberations of the township, after hearing what had hap- pened, pronounced that Sweyn Erickson hed one too far in raising the market upon Mr. fertoun; and that whatever pretext the tacksman might assume for thus giving way to his anger, the real grievance must have been the charging the rock-codfish at a penny in- stead of a halfpenny a-pound; he therefore exorted all the community never to raise their exactions in future beyond the proportion of threepence upon the shilling, at which rate their master at the Castle could not reason- ably be expected to grumble, since, as he was disposed to do them no harm, it was reason- able to think that, in a moderate way, he had no objection to do them good. ‘‘And three upon twelve,” said the experienced Ranzel- laar, “‘is a deceat and moderate profit, and will bring with it God's blessing and Saint Ronald's.”
