THE PIRATE.

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXVI. (Continued. )

On they went, through wild and over wold the Udaller bestriding a strong, square-raade, well-barrelled palfrey, of Norwegian breed somewhat taller, and yet as stout, as the or- dinary ponies of the country; while Minna and Brenda, famed, amongst other accom- plishments, for their horsemanship, rode two of those hardy animals, which, bred and rear- ed with more pains than is usually bestowed, showed, both by the neatness of their form and their activity, that the race, so much and 80 carelessly neglected,tis capable of being im-

1oved into beauty without losing anything of its spirit or vigor. They were attended by two servants on horseback, and two on foot, secure that the last circumstances would be no delay to their journey, because a great part of the way was so rugged, or so marshy, that the horses could only move at a foot pace; and that, whenever they met with any consider- able tract of hard and even ground, they had only to borrow from the nearest herd of ponies the use of a couple for the accommodation of these pedestrians.

The journey was a melancholy one, and little conversation passed, except when the Udaller, pressed by impatience and vexation, urged bis pony to a quick pace, and again, re- collecting Minna’s weak state of health, slack- ened to a walk, and reiterated inquiries how she felt herself, and whether the fatigue was too much for her. At noon the party halted, and partook of some refreshment, for which they hed imade ample provision, beside a pleasant spring, the pureness of whose wavers, however, did not suit the Udaller’s palate, until qualified by a liberal addition of right Nantz. After he had a second, yea, anda third time, filled a large silver travelling-cup, embossed with a Germaa Cupid smoking a pipe, and a German Bacchus emptyiug his tlask down the throat of a bear, he began to become more talkative than vexation had per- mitted him to ve #during the early part of their journey, and thus addressed his daugh- ters :—

‘Well, children, we are within a league or two of Norna’s dwelling, and we shall soon see how the old spell-mutterer will receive us.”

Minna interrupted her father with a faint exclamation, while Brenda, surprised toa eo degree, exclaimed, “‘Is it then to Norna that we are to make this visit ?— Heaven forbid ! ”

‘* Avd wherefore should Heaven forbid ?” said the Udaller, knitting his brows ; ‘‘ where- fore, I would gladly know, should Heaven forbid me to visit my kinswoman, whose skill may bof use to your sister, if amy woman in Zetlani, or man either, can be of service to her ?—You area fool Brenda,—your sister has more sense.—Cheer up, Minna !—thou wert ever wont to like her songs and stories, and used to hang about her neck, when little Brenda cried and ran from her‘like a Spanish merchantman from a Dutch caper.”

‘*] wish she may net frighten me as much to-day, father,” replied Brenda, desirous of indulging Minna in her taciturnity, and at the same time to amuse herfather by sustainin the conversation ; ‘‘ I have heard so much o her dwelling, that I am rather alarmed at the thought of going there uninvited.”

** Thou art a fool,” said Magnus, ‘‘ to think that a visit from her kinsfolks can ever come amiss to a kind, hearty, Hialtland heart, like my cousin Norna’s.—And, now 1 think on't, I will would not receive Eric Scambester ?—It is many a long day since I have seen her chimney smoke, and 1 have never carried you thither—She had, indeed, some right to call me unkind. But I will tell her the truth —and that is, that though such be the fashion, I do not think it is fair or honest to eat up the substance of lone women folks, as we do that of our brother Udallers, when we roll about from house to house in the winter season, until we gather like a snowball, and eat up all wherever we come.”

‘* There is no fear of our putting Norna to any distress just now,” replied Brenda, ‘‘ for I have ample provision of every thing that we ean possibly need—fish, and bacon, and salted mutton, and dried geese—more than we could eat in a week, besides enough of liquor for you, father.”

‘** Right, right, my girl!” said the Udaller ; ‘*a well-found ship makes a merry {voyage— so.we shall only want the kindness of Norna’s roof, and a little bedding for yon ; for, as to myself, my sea cloak, and honest dry boards of Norway deal, suit me better than your eider-lown cushions and mattresses. So that Norna will have the pleasure of seeing us without having a stiver’s worth of trouble.”

‘*T wish she may think it a pleasure, sir ' replied Branda.

‘‘ Why, what does the girl mean, in the name of the;Martyr?’ replied Magnus Troil ; ** doer: thov think my kinswoman is a heathen who will not rejoice to see her own flesh and blood ?—I would I were as sure of a good year’s fishing !—-No, no! I only fear we may find her from home at present, for she is often a warderer, and all with thanking over much on what can never be helped.”

Minne sighed deeply asg her father spoke, and the _Udaller went on:—

‘Dost thou sigh at that, my girl?—why, tis the fault ot half the world—let it never be thine own, Minna.”

Another suppressed sigh intimated that the caution came too late.

‘“*T believe you are afraid of my cousin as well «s Brenda is,” said the Udaler, gazing on her pale countenance; ‘‘if so, speak the word,'and we will‘return back again as if we had the windon our quarter, and we were running fifteen"knots by the line.”’

‘‘Tho, for Heaven's sake, sister, let us retura !” said Brenda, imploringly; ‘* you know—you remember—you must well awar# that Norna can do nought to help you.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

———

Spiritualism Exposed and Chal- lenged.

Sin,—I am sorry to learn that there are a few in this city who are being grossly deceiv- ed by the delusions of the absurdity styled Spirituahsm. One of these actually appeared in your issue of last evening on ‘*The Hereafter,” under the name of ‘* Aratara,” and his communication proves that his mind is not right. Passing by numerous untruths in his paper, | notice only his last paragraph :—

** The testimony of living members of the society of our dear departed brothers and sisters all over the world, remains as an im- preguable Gibraltar of facts, proving , beyond cavil or doubt (to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see) we DO live again, and there is a glorious hereafter.’

Very well, 1 take him at his words. ‘* Living members of the society of our departed friends, testify all over the world an impregnable Gibraltar of facts.” These comrade spirits therefore can testify in each of the wards of this city. In each of the five wards, then, at the same hour, minute and second of the same evening, let companies be formed to call up the same spirit to give these ‘* facts” about some one and the same departed friend. 1. This spirit, if the parties forget themselves, will falsely profess to be present at the same instant of time, at the five different locali- ties, though none is Omnipresent but God alone. 2. The spirit «won't testify the same facts and words in any two of the five places. 3. Or, allowing five minntes to elapse between each consultation with the spirit, let the company in Ward One get the ‘‘ facts” at, say 8 o'clock, p. m. Next, at 8.5 p. m., let the party in Ward Two ask the spirit to tell them the same as it told those in Ward One. Let Ward Three, at 8.10, ask for what was communicated in Ward Two. Let Ward Four ask for the same story to be told as that given in Ward Three, and Ward Five enquire for that told in any of the other four Wards, and all the five stories will be different. Or, take 100 companies in as many localities. You conjure up a pretended or imaginary spirit in one place and consult it ; and let all the other companies separately call up and consult the same spirit ; in no two instances will the testimony be the same, but will vary according to the characters, creeds and mental compositions of the different companies experimenting, proving that from the companies themselves, and not from any real spirit of truth does the manufactured “yarn” originate. Truth is never contradictory. Where, © where, then, is ‘*the impregnable Gibraltar of facts,” which bogus spirits give’ The imagined revelations are from nothing but the diseased nervous systems of those work- ing or putting themselves into the state or coudition of mediums or media. Advisedly I say diseased, because the practising of this weakens, emaciates, and at last Aidis if persevered in continuously, a consequence that never attends anything good or wise. If spirit learns from spirit, and if dis- lance with spirits is nothing, then let your imaginary spirit tella secret mimy mind while I am absent from the consuiting party. It cannot, asi cau prove by wit- nesses. If it cannot tell of me living, how can it tell of the absent dead ?

Again, the bogus spirit cannot reveal the occurrences of even an hour ahead in the future, because it comes only from the diseased and disordered imagination of man. ‘*Aratara” says these revelations are (like ghosts and hobgoblins) only *‘ to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see,” that is, ‘‘ proving beyond cavil or doubt” that the eyes and ears must first be diseased, and the imagination disordered, or the bogle won't be seen or heard as Tam O'Shanter saw and heard in his horrors, If spiritualism is from Heaven, and not ‘*a strong delusion,” why is Scripture silent about this **impregnable Gibraltar of truth?’ Why are we not commanded to practise it, so as to prove *‘ the hereafter,” and ascertain all about Heaven beforehand? How did inspired Paul not use it to prove the resurrection—the hereafter—in i Cor. 15: and elsewhere in his like reasonings. Paul, who commands us, 1 Cor. 11: 1, to ** be followers of ” him, was not a spiritual- ist ; for when he was in Heaven, instead of telling what he saw there, he declared it was “unlawful” for him or anybody else to do so (2 Cor. 12:4. Yet counterfeit spirits pretend to do so, and not according to the law and the testimony, because there is no light in those mountebanks that imagine such spirits to exist, Isa. 8 20. ‘** The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but those things which are re- vealed belong unto us,” Deut. 29:29. ‘The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple,” Ps. 19:7. ** Professing them- selves to be wise they become fools,” Rom. 1:22, ‘** Let us not therefore be those who pry into unlawful secrets, to be wise above what is written”; ‘* became vain in their imaginations and their foolish hearts darkened,” Rom. 1:21, and “God send them strong delusion that they believe a lie and be damned,” 2 Thess. 2:11. I would, therefore, humbly implore fel- low mortals to spend their winter evenings more proiitably than first diseasing and disordering their minds, mental capacities or nervous systems, and ‘hen believing the crazy delusions of wandering, disordered imagination —taking, like Eve, the forbid- den, tempting, lying devil's apple, from a morbid curiosity to know things unrevealed. I believe in a hereafter, but it is on more stable and impregnable grounds than the imaginations of a maniac, of the nightmare, of delirium tremens, or of conjuring up & bogus spirit of untruth—all the delusions of unsound minds in unsound bodies.

Yours, &c.,
