cerned to some extent in the whalefishery of the season, and the bard had been directed to put into his halting verse an inquiry concern- ing its success. CLauD Hatoro.

** Mother darksome, Mother dread—

Dweller on the Fitful-head,

Thou canst see what deeds are done

Under the never-setting sun,

Look through sleet, and look through frost,

Look to Greenland’s caves and coast, -

By the icebergs is asail

‘Shasing of the swarthy whale,

Mother doubtful, Mother dread,

‘Tell us, has the good saip sped ?”

The jest seemed to turn to earnest, as all, ben-ling their heads around, listened to the voice of Norna, who, without a moment's hesitation, answered from the recesses of the tent in which she was enclosed:

NoRN«,

“The thought of the aged is ever on gear.— On his fishing, his furrow, his flock, and his steer; But thrive may his fishing, fiock, furrow and

erd, While the aged for anguish shall tear his gray beard,”

There was a momentary pause, during which Triptolemus had time to whisper, “If ten witches and as many warlocks were to swear it, I will never believe that a decent man will either fash his beard or himself about any- thing, solong as stock and crop goes as it should do.”

But the voice from within the tent resumed its low monotonous tone of recitation, and, interrupting farther commentary, proceeded as follows :

NORNA.

‘*'Che ship, well-laden as bark need be,

les deep in the furrow of the Iceland sea;—

Tixe breeze from Zetland blows fair and soft,

And gaily the geriand is fluttering aloft ;

Seven good fishes have spouten their last.

And their jaw-bones are hanging to yard and

mast ;

Two are for Lerwick, and two for Kirk wall, ~

Aad three for Burg-Westra,’the choicest of all.”

‘Now the powers above look down and protect us !” said Bryce Snailsfoot ; ‘ for it is piair than woman's wit that has spaed out that ferly. Isaw them at North Ronaldshaw, that had seen the bark Olave of Lerwick, she answered them for seven fish, exact as Norna has telled us in her rhyme.”

‘ Umph—seven fish exactly ? and you heard it at North Ronaldshaw ?” said Captain Cleve- land, ‘‘ and { suppose told it as a good piece of news when you came hither?”

** Itnever crossed my tongue, Captain,” an- swered the pedlar;” ‘ ] dinna believe 1 have mentioned the Olave’s having made up her cargo to three folks since I crossed to Dun- rossness,””

Such was the Speech of Cleveland, address- ed to Magnus Troil, and heard without any applause.

‘*Norna,” he said, ‘his cousin,” (an em- phasis on the word,) “held no communica- tion with Bryce Snailsfoot or his acquaint- ances. Hedid not pretend to explain how she: came by her information ; but he had al- ways remarked that Scotsmen, and indeed strangers in general, when they came to Zet- land, were ready to find reasons for things which remained sufficiently obscure to those whose ancestors had dwelt there tor ages.”

Captain Cleveland took the hint and bowed without attempting to defend his own scepti- cism.

‘‘ And now forward, my brave hearts,” said the Udaller ; ‘‘and may all have as good tidings as I have! Three whales cannot but yicld—let me think how many hogsheads——”

There was an obvious reluctance on the part of the guests to be the next in consult- ing the oracle of the tent.

**Gude news are welcome to some folks, if they cane frae the deil himsel,” said Mistress Baby Yellowley, address. ing the Cady Glowrowrum,-—for a

similarity of disposition in some respects had made a sort of intimacy betwixt them— ‘**but | think my leddy, that this has o’er mickle of rank witchcraft in it to have the countenance of douce Christian folks like you and me, my leddy.”

‘There may be something in what you say, my dame,” replied the good Lady Glowrow- rum; ‘‘ but we Hialthlanders are no just like other foiks, and this woman. *£ she be a witch, being the Frowd’s friend an i-near kinswoman, it will be ill taen if we haena our fortunes spaed like a’ the rest of them; and sae my nieces may e’n step forward in their turn and nae harm dune. They will hae time to re- pot, ye ken, in the course of nature, if there

3 ony thing wrang in it, Mistress Yellowley.” (To be continued.) —_ i

Alderman R. E. Elbeck, Kingston, Ont., says: ‘“Tamarac Elixir” is the best medicine on earth for Coughs and Colds. In my own case it produced rapid and gratifying results. I caught a s«vere cold which it seemed impos- sible to break up, but continually became more thoroughly seated. Finally a hackin cough set in which troubled me day and night, causing soreness of the Lungs. earing your ‘Tamarac’ highly recommended, I procured a bottle. The first dose eased the cough, and one bottle completely cured me. It is a splen- did preparation, pieasant to the taste, and should be kept in every house.

Obituary Died, November 30th, 1887, of typh oid fever, in North Raynham, Mass., at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Henry E. Dean, George E. Smith, aged 25 years and 7 days. The deceased was the second son of Charles Smith, of New Glasgow, Lot 23,

and left the Island one year ago last October. He was a quiet, inoffensive yeung man, and his sudden and untimely death has cast a deep gloom over this community. He leaves a_ father and mother, sisters and brothers, besides numerons relatives and friends to mourn their loss. He died happy, trusting in his Redeemer, respected and lamented by al!

who knew him.

** Tell mother I died trusting in Jesus ; He who has all power here to save ; In the bright early morning of manhood I step in the cold dreary grave.

* Tell mother I died trusting in Jesus How my heart still clings to her now, And [ feel that ihe swellinus of Jordau Are possing just over my brow.

.

* Tell mother I died trusting in Jesus ; For He promised to save one like me ; And 1 lean on the arm of my Savior, And soon from all pain I'll be free.

- .

Tell mother 1 died trusting in Jesus ;” Still I cling to the loved ones at home ; And I long for the home of my childhood, And wonder that why did 1 roam.

- -

Tell mother I died trusting in Jesus ;” My race here below is now run ; My short life is ended,no more will I suffer, All my work here on earth is now done. New Glasgow, Dec. 7th, 1887. Mr. Charles E. McIver, Teacher, son of John McIver, Esq., of Newton, Lot 26, died at his father’s residence at that place on Noy. 27th, aged 18 years. The cause of death was bleeding at the lungs. The sud- den demise of this young man will be a great shock to his many acquaintances and friends in almost every section of the Island. A school teacher by profession, the frequent change in his tield of labor brought him of necessity in contact with strangers from whom his kindness and affability won lasting friendship and gener- ous esteem, and by all of whom his un- timely decease will be sincerely regretted. Mr. Mclver was a young man of excep tional talent, whose rapid advance in the profession he had adopted was well assured had it pleased Providence to further pro- long his days; but the ‘“‘fiat had gone forth,” and bowing in humble submission to the Will of the Creator, this His faithful servant yielded up into His hands again that life of which he held so brief a tenure.

{ May he rest in peace.
