CHAPTER XIX. ( Continued, )

So saying, Brenda submitted, to her. fate, and sat down, determined to listen with all the equanimity which she could. command to the remaining pari.of Norna’s tale, .which went on as follows :-- * It happened on adiot summer day, and just abont the hour ofnvon,” continned Nor- na, ‘‘as 1 sat by the Dwarfie Stone, with my eyes fixed on the Ward-hill, whence the mys- terious and ever-burning carbuncle shed its rays more brightly than usual, and repined in my heart at the restricted bounds of human knowledge, that at length Icould not help exclaiming, in the words (4 an ancient Saga, * Dwellers of the mountain, rise,

Trolid the powerful, Haims the wise,

Ye who taught weak w’)man s tongue

Words that sway the wise and strong,—

Ye who taught weak woman's hand

How to wield the magic wah

And w«ke the gales on ioulah’s Steep,

Or luli wild Sumburgh’s waves to sleep !— Still are ye yet }—Not yours the power

Ye knew in Odin’s mightier hour.

What are yé now but empty names,

eectel jena, somaciore ale

Fioat on thé air like thictle’s beard ?” ‘*T had scarce uttered these words,” pro- ceeded Norna, ‘‘ere the sxy, which had been till then unusually clear, grew suddenly dark around me, that it seemed more like midnight than noon. A single flash of lightning shewed me at once the desolate iandscape of heath, morass, mountain and precipice, which lay around; a single clap of thunder wakened all the echoes of the Ward-hil, which continued so long tu repeat the sound, that it seemed some rock, rent by the thunderbolt from the summit, was reeling over cliff and Pete into the valley. Final iately ‘after, % burst of rain so violent, that 1 was-fain to shun its pelting by creeping into the interior of the mysterious stone.

“*T seated niyself on the larger stone couch, which is cut at the farther end of the cavity, and with my eyes fixed on the smaller bed, wearied myself with coajectures respedting the origin of my singular place of refuge. H it been really the work of that. powerful Trolld, to whom the poetry ot the Sealds re+ ferred to it? Or. was it the tomb of some Scandinavian chief,iaterred with his arms and his wealth, perhaps siso with his immo- lated wife, that what he loved ‘best in - life might not in death by divided from-him? Or was it the abode of penance, chosen by some devoted anchorite of later days? Or the idle work of some wandering mechanic, whom chance, and whim, and: leisure, had -thrust upon such an undertaking? I tell,you the thoughts that then floated through my brain,

the , vision of dice or prepossed imagina- tion, but an apparition, as certain as it was awful. ;

** Sleep had gradually crept on me, amidst my lucubra‘ians,when I was startled from my slumbers by a second claj» of thunder; and, when I awoke [ saw, through the dim light which the upper appertwre admitted, the un- shapely and indistinct form of Trolld the dwarf, seated opposite to me on, the losser couch, which his square and mishapen bulk} seemed absolutely to fill up, I was. startled, but not affrighted ; for the blood of the an- cient raceof Lochlin was warm in my veins. He spoke ; and his words were of Norse, so old, that few, save my father or myself, could have comprehended their import—such lan- guage as was spoken in these islands ere Olave anted the cross on the ruins of heathenism. is meaning was derk also and obscure, like that which the Pagan priests were wont to deliver, in the mame of their idols, to the tribes that assembled at the Helgafels, This was the import,—

‘A thovsand winters dark have flown, Since o’er the threshcid of my Stone A votress pass’d, my power to own, Visitor Of the mansion of Trolld, Maiden haught,; of heart. Who hast hither presumed,— Ungifted, undoom’d, Thon shalt not depart ; The power thou dost covet C’er tempest and wave, Shail be thine, thou proud maiden, Ry beach and b7 cave,— By stack ont by skerry, by noup and by voe, By air and by wick, and by helyer and gio, And by every wild shore which the northern winds know, And the northern tides lave. But though this shal] be given thee, thou desper- ately brave, { doom thee that never the gift thou shalt have, Till thou reave th; life's giver Of the gift which he ave.”

**T answered him in nearly the same strain; for the spirit of the ancient Scalds of our race was upon me, and, far from fearing the phan- tom, with whom I sat cooped within so nar- row a space, I] felt the impulse of that high eonrage which which thrust the ancient cham- pions and Druidesses upon contests with the invisible world, when they thought that the earth no longer contained enemies worthy to be subdued by them. Therefore did 1 answer him thus :--

‘Dark are thy words, and severe. Thou dwelier in the stone; But trembling and fear To her are ankaocwn, * Who hath se thee here, In thy dweliing |one. Come .what comes soever, Tha worst [ can endure; Life is but a whort fever, And Death is the cure.

“‘The Demon scowled at me,as if at once in- censed an overawed; anc. then, coiling himself up in a thick and sulphureots vapor, he disappeared from his place. I did not, till that moment, feel the infln- ence of fright, but then it seized me I[ rushed into the open air, where the tempest had passed away, and ail was pure and serene. After a mament’s breatiiless pause, 1 hastened home, musing by the way on the words of the phantow, which I could not,as often happens, recal] so distinotly to memory at the time,as I bave been since able to «lo. oe

** Tt may seem st that such an i- tion should, in time, have glided from’ my mind, like a vision of the night—but so it was. TI bronght myself to believe in the work of fancy—I thought} had lived too much in solitude, and had given way too much to the feelings inspired by my favorite studies. I abandoned them for a time, and I mixed with the youth of my age. [ was upon a visit at Kirkwall when I learned to know your father, whom business had brought thither. He easily found access to the relation with whom

I lived, who was anxious to compose, if pos- wible, the foud which divided our (To Be contiavised.)

The Pacifie Cable.

_ California papers are discussing the pro- ject of laying a telegraph cable from Cali- fornia to the Sandwich Islands, from which ceent itis proposed to lay aline by the

heenix, Samoa and Fiji Islands to Bris- bane, Australia, and another directly across the..Pacifie.to the Bonm Islands, and thence north to Yokohama, Japan, whence a supplementary line would be laid to China. Upwards of twelve years ago, sur- veys of the Pacific ocean bed were made from the Onalifornia coast to Japan, and subsequently from the Sandwich Islands to Brisbane, Australia. Since that time nothing practical has been done towards carrying out the undertaking as an Aimeri- can enterprise, either by the American Gov- ernment or Congress, and its magnitude has deterred private capitalists from taking up the work. The business men of California are very anxious that a cable should be laid to the Sandwich Islands, with a view to its extension subsequently to Japan and Australia. -From San Francisco to’ Hono- lulu the’ ocean bed is regular and readily adapted to the laying ofa cable. Between the Sandwich Islands and Japan or Aus- tralia, swift currents and uneveness of the ocean bed in some localities were encounter- ed when the soundings were being made, whice would prove serious obstacles to the laying of the cable ; but by avoiding such localities a comparatively even bed and still water were found—the deepest sounding being 38,860 feet. When the marine sur- VYeys were made some years ago, the only serious difficulty discovered. between Calli- fornia and China, _by_ the route specified above was the Kuro Siwo, or black stream of Japan, where the water was-nearly six miles in depth, and the current of extravr- dinary force and swiftness.
