CHAPTER XXVL.
| Nae langer she wept,—her tears were a’ spent,—
| Despair it was come, and she thought it content;
| She thought it content, but her cheek it grew pale,
| And she droop’d like a lily broke down by the hail.
Continuation of Auld Robin Gray.
The condition of Minna much resembled that of the village heroine in Lady Ann Lind- |aay’s beautiful ballad. Her natural firmness }of mind prevented her trom sinking under the pressure of the horrible secret, which haunted her while awake, and was yet more tormenting during her breken and hurried slumbers. There is no grief so dreadful as that which we dare not communicate, and in which we can neither ask nor desire sympa- thy ; and when to this is added the burden of a guilty mystery to an innocent bosom, there is little wonder that Minna’s health should have sunk under the burden.
To the friends around, her habits and man- hers, nay, ber temper, seemed altered to sach an extraordinary deyree, that it is fo wonde: that some should have ascribed the change to witchcraft, and some toincipient madness, She became unable to bear the solitude in which she formerly delighted to spend her time ; yet when she hurried into society, it was without either joining in or attending to what passed. Generally she appeared wrapped in sad and even sullen abstraction, until her attention was suddenly roused by some casual mention of the name of Cleveland or of Mordaunt Mertoun, at which she started with the horror of one who sees the lighted match applied to a charged mine, aud expects to be instantly involved in the effects of the explosion. Aud when she observed that the discovery was not yet made, it was so far from being a consolation, that she almost wished the worst was known, rather than endure the continued agonies of suspense.
Her conduct towards her sister was so vari- able, yet uniformly so painful to the kind- hearted Brenda, that it seemed to all around

one of the strongest features of her malady. Sometimes Minna was impelled to seek her sister's company, asif by the consciousness that they were common sutferers by a misfor- tune of which she herself alone could grasp the extent ; and then suddenly the feeling of the injury which Brenda had _ received through the supposed agency of Cleve- land, made her unable to bear her pre- sence, and stili less to endure the consolation which her sister, mistaking the nature of her malady, vainly endeavored to administer. Fre- quently, also, did it happen, that, while Brenda was imploring her sister to take com- fort, she cautiously touched upon some sub- ject which thrilied tothe very centre of her soul; so that, unable to conceal her agony, Minna would rush hastily from the apartment. All these different moods, though they too much resembled, to one who knew not their real source, the caprices of unkind estrange- ment, Brenda endured with such prevailing and unrufiiled gentleness of disposition, that Minna was frequently moved to shed floods of tears upon her neck; and, perhaps, the mo
ments in which she did so, though imbittered by the recollection that her fat&l secret con- cerned the destruction of Brenda’s happiness as well as her own, were still, softened as they were by sisterly affection, the most en- durable moments of this most miserable period of her life.
The effects of the alternations of moping melancholy, fearful agitation, and bursts of nervous feeling, were soon visible on the poor young woman's face and person. She became pale and emaciated; her eye lost the steady quiet look of happiness and innocence, and was alternately dim and wild, as she was act- ed upon by a general feeling of her own dis- tressful condition, or by some quicker and more poignant sense of agony. Her very features seemed to change, and become sharp and eager; and her voice, which, in its ordin- ary tones, was low and placid, now sometimes sunk in indistinct mutterings, and sometimes was raised beyond the natural key, in hasty and abrupt exclamations. When in company with others, she was sullenly silent, and, when she ventured into solitude, was observed (for it was now thought very proper to watch her on such occasions) to speak much of her- self,
The pharmacy of the islands was in vain resorted to by Minna’s anxious father. Sages
of both sexes, who knew the virtues of every herb which drinks the dew, and augmented these virtues by words of might, used while they prepared and applied the medicines, were attended with no venefit; and Magnus, in the utmest anxiety, was at last induced to have recourse to the advice of his kins-
anteed. N. B.—Carriages wanting repairing, pain‘ ing or trimming, stored free for the winter. | Factory and Show Rooms Wpper Prince | Street, opposite Baptist Church. J. J. SEAMAN. Dec. 13, 1887—eod& wy tl feb I

FOR SALE—Beli’s Feedcutters, both hand and} Westra from the
woman, Norna of the Fitful-head, although, owing to circumstances, noticed in the course of the story, there was at this time some estiangement between them. His first ap- plication was in vain.—Norna was then at her usual place of residence, upon the sea coast, near the headland from which she usually took her designation; but, although Eric Scambester himself brought the message, she refused positively to see him or to return any answer.
Magnus was angry at the slight put upon his messenger and message, but his anxiety on Minna’s account, as well as the respect which he had for Norna’s real misfortunes and imputed wisdom and power, prevented him from indulging, on the present occasion, his usual irritability of disposition. On the con- trary, he determined to make an application to his kinswoman in his own person. He kept his purpose, however, to himself, and only desired his daughters to be in readiness to attend him upon a visit to a relation whom he had not seen for some time, and directed them, at the saine time, to carry some pro visions along with them, as the journey was distant, and they might perhaps find their friend unprovided.
Unaccustomel to ask explanations of his pleasures, and hoping that exercise and the amusement cof such an excursion inight be of service to her sister, Brenda, upon whom all household and family charges now devolved, caused the necessary preparations to be made for the expedition; and on the next morning, they were engaged in tracing the long and tedious course of beach and of moorland, which, only varied by occasional patches of oats and barley, where a little ground had been selected for cultivation, divided Burgh- north-western extremity of the Mainland, (as the principal island is called) which termiuates in the cape called the Fitfal-bead, as the south-western point erds in the cape of Sumburgh.

The North River School.
The Christmas examination of the Lower North River School was held on the 23rd ult., and reflected much credit on the pupils and the able management of the teacher, Mr. H. Lawson. The several classes were examined in reading, spelling, definition, syntax, analysis, arithmetic, geometry, algebra, history, geography and general information ; and the promptness and intelligence of the answers giver. were proof of the great industry and care taken in preparing the exercises and the thorough- ness of the system pursued.
Fulton McEwen was first in the 6th class ; Cora White in the 5th class, Clifford
| Scott in the 4th class, Ella McEwen in the
3rd class, Della Morshead in the 2nd class, and Ina Scott in the Ist class.
A number of visitors were present as also the officers of the school. Rey. A. Lavers in a few remarks expressed himself as highly pleased with the progress ex- hibited and the general efficiency of the work in the school.

School Examination.
The semi-annual examination of the St. Augustine School came off on the 30th ult. Notwithstanding the unfavorable state of the weather, quitea number visitors were present, consisting of trustees, parents and others interested in schoo] work.
It would be needless to comment on the merit of each or any ot the pupils, but suffice it to say that they all proved them.- selves to be well instructed and thoroughly drilled in the severa! branches taught in the school. Specimens of map-drawing were produced on the occasion, which certainly wculd reflect credit on any institution of learning.
This school has been under the efficient management of Mr. P. C. Gauthier for the last eighteen months, during which time he has labored with unflagging zea), thus rank- ing this school among the foremost Acadian schools of the Island. At the close remarks were made by Ephraim Gallant and J. B. Coulson. Mr. Gallant expressed himself highly pleased with the state of the school, and said that the teacher’s services could not be too highly appreciated. Mr. Coulson, by a few well-chusen remarks, offered words of stimulationfand encourage- ment to both teacher and scholars to press forward with all energy, ever remembering that a thing worth doing is worth doing well.

European Crop Estimates.
TRANSMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE AT WASHINGTON,
REPORT
Edmund Jussen, Consul General at Vienna, has transmitted to the Department of State certain data gathered from the reports of the International Seed and Grain Convention recently held in that city relative to the condition of European cereal crops. In Austria-Hungary the yield of wheat for the year 1887 is estimat- ed to amount to 177,000,000 bushels, an increase of 25 per cent. over the average yield of the country, while 125,000,000 bushels is the estimated yield of rye—also considerable increase. The crop of oats, however, is hardly sufficient to cover the home demand. In Russia rye has yielded an average crop, barley is of excellent quality, but the crop of oats is poor. In the Scandinavian countries the average amount of wheat is prod»ced, but rye and oats fall far below the average. The wheat crop of Italy is poor and the demand of the country for this coereal will amount to about 30,000,000 bushel®& The corn crop is above the average. The wheat crop of Switzerland and Holland apg above the. average, while that of Nogdffern Russia is below. The whegt crop of France is large, but scastaaine quantity of wheat musf be imported to meet the home demafd, as the quantity in store is very Hinited. In Great Britain and 4reYand an average wheat crop of 32 to 37 bushels per acre is expected against a yield estimated to be about 17,000,000 quarters will be required to meet the home consumption. Barley will yield 10 per cent. less than the usual average, and oats dD per cent less In British India the area cultivated in wheat is estimated to about 26,000,000 acres, and the average yield of wheat at 7,135,000 tons. The yield for 1887 is estamated at 6,390,694 tons.
