THE PIRATE.

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXVIIL. (Continued. )

With more of human feeling than she usually exhibited, Norna extricated her hand from the graspof the poor girl, whose tears now flowed freely, and then, with more ten- derness of mannerthan she had yet shown, she knotted the leaden heart of a chain of gold, and hung it round Minna’s neck, sing- ing, as she performed that last branch of the spell :—

“Be patient. be patient, for Patience hath power

To ward us in danger, like mantle in shower;

A fairy gift you best may hold

In a chain of fairy gold;

The chain and the gift are each a true token,

That not without warrant old Norna hath spoken;

But thy nearest and dearest'must never bebold

them, Tilltime shall accomplish the truths I have told them.”

The verses being concluded, Norna carefully arranged the chain around her patient’s neck so as to hide it in her bosom, and thus ended the spell—-a spell which, at the moment I re- cord .these incidents, it is known, has been lately practiced in Zetland, where any decline of health, without apparent cause, is imputed by the lower orders to a demon having stolen the heart fromthe body of the patient, and where the experiment of supplying the depri- vation by « leaden one, prepared in the man- ner described, has been resorted to within these few years. Ina metaphorical sense, the dis- ease may be considered as a genera! one in all parts of the world; but, as this simple and original remedy is peculiar to the isles of Thule, it were unpardonable not to preserve it at length, in a narrative connected with Scot- tish antiquities.

A second time Norna reminded her patient, thatifshe showed, or spoke of, the fairy gifts, their virtue would be lost-—a belief so common as to be received into the supersti- tions of all nations. Lastly, unbuattoning the collar which she had just fastened, she showed her a link of the gold chain, which Minna in- stantly recognized as that formerly given by Norna to Mordaunt Mertoun. This seemed to intimate he was yet alive, and under Norna’s protection; and she gazed on her with the most eager curiosity. But the sibyl imposed her finger on her lips in token of silence, and a second time involved the chain in those folds which modestly and closely veiled one of the most beautiful, as well as one of the kindest, bosoms in the world.

Norna then extinguished the lighted char- coal, and as the water hissed upon the glow- ing embers, commanded Magnus and Brenda to look around, and behold her task accom- plished.

CHAPTER XXIX.

See yonder woman, whom our swains revere, And coeee: in secret, while they take her coun- se s When sweetheart sha'l be kind, or when cross dame sball die? nena tte thief who stole the silver tank- ard, And how the pestilent murrain may be cured.— This sage adviser’s mad, stark mad, my friend ; Yet, in her madness, hath the art and cunning To ring fools secrets from their inmost bosoms, And pay inquiries with the coin they gave her. Old Play. It seemed as if Nornathad indeed full right to claim the gratitude of the Udaller for the

improved condition of his daughter's health. She once more threw open the window, and Minna, drying her

eyes and advancing with affectionate confi- dence, threw herself on her father’s neck, and asked his forgiveness for the trouble she had of late accasioned to him. It is un- necessary to add, that this was at once granted, with a full, though reugh burst of paternal tenderness, and as many close embraces as if his child had been just rescued from the jaws of death. When Magnus had dismissed Minna, from his arms, to throw herself into those of her sister, and express to her, rather by kisses and tears than in words, the regret she entertained for her late way- ward conduct, the Udaller thought proper, in the meantime, to rpay his ehaake to their hostess, whose skill had proved so efficaci- ous, But searce had be come out with ‘““Much respected kinswoman, I am but a plain old Norseman,”—-when {she interrupted him, bypressing her finger on her lips.

‘“‘There are those around us,” she said, ‘* who must hear no mortal voice, witness no sacrifice to mortal feeling—there are times when mutiny even against me, their sovereign mistress, because I am still shrouded in the flesh of humanity. Fear, therefore, and be silent. I, whose deeds have raised me from the low-sheltered valley of life, where dwell its social wants and common. charities—l, who have bereft the Giver of the Gift which he gave, and stand alone on a cliff of immeas- urable height, detached from earth, save from the small portion that supports my miserable tread, I alone am fit to cope with the sullen mates. Fear not, therefore, but yet be not too bold, and let this might to you be one of fasting and of prayer.”

If the Udaller had not, before the com- mencement of the operation, been disposed to dispute the commands of the sibyl, it may be well believed he was less so now, that it had terminated to all appearance so fortunately. So he sat down in silence, and seized upon a volume which lay near him as a sort of desperate effort to divert ennui, for on no other occasion had Magnus been known to have recourse to a book for that purpose. It chanced to be a book much to his mind,

upon the manners of the ancient Northern nations. The book is unluckily in the Latin language, and the Danaske or Dutch were, either of them, much more familiar to the Udaller. But then it was the fine edition published in 1555, which contains representa- tions of the war-chariots, fishing exploits, warlike exercises, and domestic employments of the Scandinavians, executed in copper plates ; and thus the information which the work refused to the understanding, was addressed to the eye, which, as is well known both to old and young, answers the purpose of amusement as well, if not better.

(To be continued.)

Trials have been made in Germany of wire soles covered with a substance re- sembling India rubber. The soles are said to be more durable than those made of leather, and to cost only about half the price of leather. They were invented by a

British Investments.

(Monetary Times.)

The argument in favor of Commercial Union of which most is being made just now, is that “unrestricted reciprocity” would reatly benefit British investments in Canada. hese investinents are just as secure to-day as ever they have been ; the interest is paid as regularly; the earnings are as great; the prospect never better. We are told that the value of farm land has fallen in Canada. So it has in the United States, so it has in England; and the fall is no greater here than in the States. In some counties the Dominion Grangers, representatives of the farmers, when assembling in this city recently, denied that there was any general decline i the price of land, and no where was it much. The price of land affects mortgagees; but there has been no general decline of prices to sweep away margins in land, or to render them too small for safety. That is the general rule. Some English journals are said to be advocating commercial union on the ground that English investors in Canada would be benefitted by it. But nothing has oceurred recently to hurt these investors. Some railways unfortunately do not bring the return they should ; but this is nothing new, and it is, at lest, dovhtfal, whether commer- cial union would mend matters. Would it not be as likely te put our railwaye in the power of their American_rivals and allies?

it is Said. That there are eleven thousand, two hundred and twenty miles of railroad in operation in Canada. That the State dinners given by the President of the United States cost at least ten dollars a plate. That the trouble with most people who believe that charity begins at home is that they never allow it to go outdoors for ex- ercise. That this is a world of compensations; the slimmer the dude the heavier the cane, That some one declares ‘‘a man who writes love letters is a fool.” He certainly is if he doesn’t mean what he writes, and time and a breach of promise suit will prove 1b, That before marriage the question a girl asks her lover most often is: ‘* Do you really love me?” After marriage the query becomes: ** Is my hat on stimight ?”

That persons troubled with a tendency to stoop, and who are becoming round shouldered should walk with the palms of the hands forward, ‘he thumbs outward.

That the personal income of the Pope is about $1,750,000 annually.
