THE PIRATE.

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXVIII. (Continued. )

Brenda, creeping as close as possible to her father, seated herself along with him upon a bench at some distance from Minna, and kept her eyes, with a mixture of fear, pity and anxiety, closely fixed upon her. It would be difficult altogether to decipher the emotions by which this amiable and affectionate girl was agitated at the moment. Deficient in her sister’s predominating quality of high imagination and little credulous, of course, to the marvellous, she could not but entertain some vague and indefinite fears on her own account, concerning the nature of the scene which was soon to take place. But these were in a manner swallowed up in her appre- hensions on the score of her sister, who, with a frame so much weakened, spirits so much exhausted, anda mind so susceptible of the impressions which all around her was caleu- lated to excite, now sat pensively resigned to the ageney of one, whose treatment might produce the most baneful effects upon such a subject.

Brenda gazed at Minna, who satin that rude chair of dark stone, her finely formed shape and limbs making the strongest con- trast with its ponderous and irregular angles, her cheek and lips as pale asclay, and her

mixture of resignation and excited enthusi- asm, which belonged to her disease and her

character. The younger sister then looked on Norna, who muttered to herself in a low,

monotonous manner, as, gliding from one place te another, she collected different articles, which she placed one by one on the table. - And lastly, Brenda looked anxiously to her father, to gather, if possible, from his countenance whether he entertained any part of her own fears for the consequences of the scene which was to ensue, considering the state of Minna’s health and spirits. But Magnus Troil seemed to have no such appre- hensions ; he viewed with stern composure Norna’s preparations, and appeared to wait the event with the composure of one who, confiding in the skill of a medical artist, sees him preparing to enter upon some important and painful operation, in the issue of which he is interested by friendship or by affection. Norna, meanwhile, went onward with her preparations, until she had placed on the stone table a variety of miscellaneous articles, and among the rest asmall chafing dish full of charcoal, a crucible, anda _ piece of thin sheet-lead. She then spoke aloud: ‘‘It is well that I was aware of your coming hither— ay, long before you yourself had resulved it— how should lelse have been prepared for that which isnow to be done? Maiden,” she continued, addressing Minna, ‘‘ where lies thy pain?”

The patient answered by pressing her hand to the left side of her bosom.

‘« Even so,” replied Norna, ‘‘even so—’tis the site of weal or wo.—And you her father and her sister, think not this the idle speech of one who talks by guess—if I can tell the ill, it may be that I shall be able to render that less severe, which may not; by any aid, be wholly amended, —The heart—ay, the heart—touch that, andthe eye grows dim, the pulse fails, the wholsome stream of our blood is choked and troubled, our limbs decay like sapless see-weed in a summer's sun; our better views of existence are past and gone ; what remains is the dream of lost happiness, or the fear of inevitable evil. But the Reim- kennar must to her work—well it is that I have prepared the means.”’

She threw off her long dark colored mantle, and stood before them in her short jacket of light-blue wadmaal, with its skirt of the same stuff, fancifully embroidered with black

eyes turned upward, and lighted with the |

ed the lead now entirely melted, into the bowel of water, repeating at the same time, — ** Elements, each other greeting, Gifts and power attend your meeting!” (To be continued.)

Railway Tariffs.

An opinion of some interest regarding railway regulation in Canada, in the light both of Canadian experience, and of the experiment being tried in the United States, was lately given before the Royal Commission on Railways, by Mr. Joseph Hickson, general manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, who has a high standing as an authority on matters of railway ad- ministration. Mr, Hickson, who speaks of course from the railroad point of view, does not think that it would be alto- gether practicable for a permanent railway commission tu deal with so great an extent of territory as Canada. As regards the as- serted need of guarding the public against unjust discrimination, he holds that there has been practically no culpable discrimina- tion in Canada, and that the common law affords ample protection to shippers. The best correctives in such a matter are, he says, publicity of tariffs and the interests of the companies themselves. The applica- tion of the short-hand principle in Canada might, he thinks, be injurious to the earry- ing interests of the country without con- ferring xny advantage on the public.

The Teacher's Ari.

Col. Parker says :—‘‘ All real teachers must take the highest and broadest possible

view of the work they are todo. He who degrades pedaguogics to a trade, to be

practiced for the sole purpose of getting dollars, is not a teacher and can never be one. Teaching is not mechanical routine ner imitative art, but the judicious ap- plication of great principles with an intelligent and loving purpose to accomplish the highest attainable good. Ail true or correct teaching arouses the mental powers to conscious action. It wastes neither time nor energy in repetitions of useless forms, but appeals directly to consciousness in such manner as tv arouse mental activity. This being done the acquisition of know- ledge becomes comparatively easy, and alwaysa pleasure. There are, properly speaking. no grades in the art of teaching. That is, no primary-grade teachers, grammar-trade teachers, specialists are necessities of imperfections in teaching. They are the necessary outgrowth of mis- conceptions of the true work of teaching. ee

Coal in the States. The past year has been cue of the most prosperous, nominally, in the history of the industry. The Lehigh region companies have not been at work since the second week in September, but the Schuylkill and Wyoming regions, producing together generally about 75 per cent. of the total Pennsylvania anthracite output, have, notwithstanding the strike of 25,000 Lehigh miner's during nearly one-third of the year, held up the production so that the total for the calendar year 1887 is placed (as to quantity shipped) at 34,997,407 tons, against 32,399,456 in 1886, an increase of about 2,600,000 tons, or about 8 per cent. If the customary allowance of 6 per cent. for coal used at and about the mines be added we find the total actual quantity of coal mined to be about 37,000,000 as com- pared with 34,300,000 tons the year before.

velvet, and bound at the waist with a chain or girdle of silver, formed into singular devices. Norna next undi¢l the fillet which bound her grizzed hair, and shaking her head wildly caused it to fall in disheveljled abundance over her face and around her shoulders, so as almost entirely to hide her features, She then placed a small cracible on the chafing-dish already mentioned,—dropped a few drops from the vial on tae charcoal blow—pointed towards it her wrinkled forefinger, which she had previously moistened with liquid from another small bottle, and said with a deep voice, ‘* Fire, do thy duty ;’—and the words were no sooner spoken, than, probably by some chemical combintaion of which the spec- tators were not aware, the charcoal which was under the crucible became slowly ignited; while Norna, as if impatient of the delay, threw hastily back her disordered tresses, and, while her features reflected the sparkles and red light of the fire, and her eyes flashed from amongst her hair like those of a wild animal from its cover, blew fiercely till the whole was in an intense glow. She paused a mo- ment from her toil, and muttering that the elemental spirit must be thanked, recited, in her usual monotonous, yet wild mode of chanting, the following verses:

“ Thou so needfal, yet so dread,

With cloudy crest, and wing of red;

Though, without whose genial breath

The north would sleep the sleep of death;

Who deign’st to warm the cottage hearth,

Yet hurl’st proad palaces to earth,—

Brightest, keencst of the Powers,

Which form and rule this worid of Ours,

With my rhyme of Runic, I

Thank thee for thy agepcy.”

She then severed a pertion from the small mass of sheet-lead which lay upon the table, and, placing it in the crucible, subjected it to the action of the melted, she=sung,--

** Old Reimkennar, to thy art Mother Hertha sends her part;

She, whose gracious bounty gives Needful food for all that lives. From the deep rnine of the north, Came the mystic metal forth, Doom'd amidst disjointed stones, Long to cere a champion’s bones, Disinhumed my charms toaid— Mother Earth, roy thanks are paid.

She then poureé out some water from the

horse power, Fieury’s Grain Crackers, Dickie- |

Also, some cheap Hand-trucks, suitable’ for

jar into a large cup, or goblet, and sung once ‘more, as she slowly stirred it round with the end of her staff:—

“Girdle of our islands dear, Element of Water. here ! Thou whose power can overwhelm Broken mounds a4d ruin’d realm On the lowly Belgiar strand; All thy flerces* raze can never Of our soil a furlong sever From our rock-defended land ; Play then gentle thou they part; To assist old Norra’s art.” . She then, with « pair of pincers, removed

the crucible from her chafing-dirk, and pour-

lighted charcoal, and, as it

His Holiness the Pope will be 78 on the 2nd March. Prince Bismarck and Sir John Macdonald were both born in 1815. The birthday of the former is, curiously the Ist of April, but the world is, we should suppose pretty well convinced that there is very little connection between him and an April fool. Sir John Macdonaid celebrated his 73rd birthday on the Ilth instant, Sir Henery Cawlinson, the great Assyriologist, will be 78 in April. The ex-Empress Eugene will be 62 in May. The Duke of Cambridge, Commander in Chief of the British Army, is three months older than Her Majesty, his cousin, and will be 69 on the 26th of March. The beautiful Empress of Austria, who was the cynosure of all eyes in the English hunt

ing fields a2 year or two ago, is 57, Mrs Bright is 79. The King of Holland is 71. The Emperor of Brazil, 63. The King of

Denmark, father of the Czarine, the Princess of Wales, and the King of Greece will be 70 in April.
