therefore, all the sources of amusement which the country afforded, were open to the younger Mertoun, who, in these intervals of his education, had an opportunity to give full scope to the energies of a bold, active, and daring character. He was often engaged with the youth of the hamlet in those desperate sports, to which the ‘‘dreadful trade of the samphire-gatherer” is like a walk upon level ground—often joined those midnight excursions upon the face of the giddy cliés, to secure the eggs or the young of the sea- fowl; and in these daring adventures displayed an address, presence of mind, and activity, which, in one so young, and nota native of the country, astonished the oldest fowlers.
At other times Mordaunt accompanied Sweyn and other fishermen in their long and perilous expeditions to the distant and deep sea, learning under their direction the man- agement of the boat, in which they equal, o1 exceed, perhaps, any natives of the British empire. This exercise had charms for Mor daunt, independently of the fishing alone.
At this time, the old Norwegian sages were much remembered, and often rehearsed, by the fishermen, who still preserved among themselves the ancient Norse tongue, which wag the speech of their torefathers. In the dark romance of those Scandinavian tales, lay much that was captivating to a youthful ear ; and the classic fables of anti- quity were rivalled at least, if not excelled, in Mordaunt’s opinion, by the strange legends of Berserkars, of Sea-kings, of dw arfs, giants, and sorcerers, which he heard from the native Zetlanders. Otten the scenes around him were assigned as the Jocalities of wild poems, which, half recited, half chanted by voices as hoarse, if not so loud, as the waves over which they floated, pointed out the very bay on which they sailed as the scene of a bloody sea- fight; the scarce-seen heap of stones that wistled over the projecting cape, as the dun, noted pirate ; stone on the graye of a hero;
At such times,
or castle, of some potent ear) or the distant and solitary gray lonely moor, as marking the the wild cavern, up which the sea rolled in heavy, eed: and unbroken billows, as the dwelling of some noted sorceress. *
The ocean also had its mysteries, the effect of which was aided by the dim twilight, through which, it was imperfectly seen for more than half the year. Its bottomless depths and secret caves contained, according to the aceount of Sweyn and others, skilled in legendary lore, such wonders as modern navigators reject with disdain. In the quiet moonlight bay, where the waves came rippling to the shore, upon a bed of smooth sand inter mingled with shells, the mermaid was stili seen to glide along the waters by moonlight, and mingling her with the si; ghing breeze, was often heard to sing of subter- ranean wonders, orto chant prophecies of fnture events. The karaken, that hugest of living things, was still supposed to cumber the recesses of the Northern Ocean; and often, when some fog-bank covered the seaata dis- tance, the eye of the experienced boatsman saw the horns of the monstrous leviathan welking and waving amidst the wreaths of mist, and bore away With all press of oar and sail, lest the sudden sucticu, occasioned by the sinking of the monstrous mass to the bottom, should drag within the grasp of, its multifari- ous feelers his own frail skiff. The sea-snake was also known, which, wing out of the depths of ocean, stretches to the skies his en- ormous neck, covered witha mane like that of a war-horse, ‘and with his bread glittering eyes, raised mast-head high, luoks out, as it seems, for plunder or for victims.
Many prodigious stories of those marine monsters, and of many others less known,
were then universally received among the Zet- landers, whose descendants haye not as yet by any means abandoned fa‘th in them.
Such legends are, indeed, everywhere cur-
rent amongst the wnigar; but the imagination is far more powerfully affected by them on the deep and dangerous seas of the north, —amidst precipices and headlands, many hundred feet in height, —amid perilous straits, and currents and eddies,—long sunken reefs of rock, over which the vivid ocean foams and boils, —dark caverns to whose extremities neither man or skiff has ever ventured,—lonely, and often un- inhabited isles,—and occasionally the ruins of ancient northern fastnesses, dimly seen by the feeble light of the Artic winter. To Mordaunt who had much of romance in his disposition,
these superstitions formed a pleasing and in-
v oice
teresting exercise ot the imagin: tion, while, half doubting, half inclined to believe, he
listened to the tales chanted concerning these wonders of nature, and creatures of credulous belief, told in the rude but energetic language of the ancient Scalds.
But there wanted not softer and lighter amusement, that might seem better suited to Mordaunt’s age, than the wild tales and rude exercises which we have already mentioned.
The season of winter when, from the shortness of the daylight, labor becomes impossible, is in Zetland the time of revel, feasting, and merriment. Whatever the fishermen has been able to acquire during summer, was expended, and often wasted, in maintaining the mirth and hospitality of his hearth during this period ; while the landholders and gentle-
men of the island gave double loose to their convivial and hospitable dispositious,thronged their houses with guests, and drove away the rigour of the season with jest, glee, and soug the dance, and the wine-cup.
Amid the revels of this merry, though rigor- ous season, no youth added more spirit to ‘the dance, or glee to the revel, than the young stranger, Mordaunt Mertoun. When his father’s state ot mind permited, or indeed re quired, his absence, he wandered from house to house a welcome guest wherever he came, and lent his willing voice to the song, and his foot to the revel. “A boat, or if the weather, as wasoften the case, permitted not that convenience, one of the numerous ponik which, straying in hordes about the extensive moors, may be said tobe at any man’s com mand whocan catch them, conveyed hin from the mansion of one hospitable Zetland- er to that ofanother. None excelled him in performing the warlike sword-dance, a spe vie fof amusement which had been derived from the habits of theancient Norsemen. He play upon the gue, and upon the common violin, the melancholy’ and pathetic tune pec vuliar to the country ; great spirit and execution could relieve with the livelier airs of the N

Germany and Russia The No rth ¢ article, on the relations between German’ Vv and Russia says: ‘‘ The duty imposed by Ge many’s policy in. the interest of the E mpire and its dignity is to mantain peace as long as it is compatible with honor. The starting point of an endeavor in this direction is found only on the ground covered by treaties. Th« circumstance- that the otherwise peace policy of the German Government has for three past been distributed by Bulgaria and its princes is not calculated tu attract the good will of German politicians to wards that principality. It accords with the interests of the peace-loving and no less straight-forward German nation that Germany should, in the Councils of Europe, throw her whole weight into the scale in order to have Europe commend peace to ambitious Bul- garian princes and ministers, who are inclined to set the continent in a blaze. Germany holds firmly to the treaties which have been broken by the princes of Coburg and Batten berg, not for the sake of pleasing y the other powers, but out of regard for her own signa ture, for the peace of Europe placed at stake throngh the Coburg-Orleans enterprise. There is not even the semblance of an excuse for that enterprise, and it is only to be ex plained on the understanding that the Cobu ger is the executor of anexclusively Orleanist policy.” ‘ ee American Railroad Speed.

The Sugar Duties.
The St. John Sun says that a good deal of indi; gnation ise xp! essed be« vause certain Scotch sugars imported into Canada, which are pay- ing duties $2.79 per 100 poun is, may be sold in competition with home refined sugar. The fact that the home refiners pay about $2 in duties on the sugars from which they produce 100 pounds of refined is kept as far as possible in the background. But $2.79 per 100 pounds is not the highest duties ever paid in Canada, In 1875 the duty paid on refined sugar, Sit Richard Cartwright be:ng our authority, was $2.874 per 100 pounds, In 1876 it was $2.65}. According to Hon. David Mills, the price tor export of American sugar (white and brown)
averaged in 1878 $6.26, whereon the duty would be $2.564. The unfortunate consumer of sugars was in no better way under Cart
