CHAPTER XXV. ( Continued.)
As she labored, she muttered her magic song ; for without the Runic rhyme no form of northern superstition was ever performed. We have, perhaps, preserved too many ex- amples of these incantations ; but we cannot help attempting to translate that which fol- lows :—
‘* Champion, famed her warlike toil, Art thou silent, Ribolt Troil? Sand, and dust, and pebbly stones, Are leaving bare thy giant bones. Whod touch the wild-bear’s skin Ye slumber’d on while life was in ?— A woman now, or bate, may come /.nd cast the covering from thy tomb.
‘ Yet be not wrathful, Chief, nor blight Mine eyes or ecrs with sound or sight! I come not, with unhsllow’d tread, To wake the slumbers of the dead, Or lay thy giantrelics bare ; But what I seek thou well canst spare. Be it to my hand allow’d To sheer a merk’s weight from thy shroud ; Yet leave thee sheetec. lead enough To shield thy bones from weather rough.
-
* See. I draw my magic knife— Never while thou wert in life Laid’st thou still for sioth or fear, Vv hen point and edge were glittering near ; See, the crements now I sever— V/aken now, or sleep “or ever ! Thou wilt not wake? the deed isdone! The prize I sought is fairly won.
** Thanks, Ribolt, thanks,—for this the sea Shall smooth its ruffied crest for thee,— And while afar its bil‘ows foam,
Subside to peace near Ribolt’s tomb. Thanks, Ribolt, thanks—for this the might Of wild winds raging at their height, When to thy place of slumbe? nigh, Shallsoften to a lullaliy,
-
She, the dame of doubt and dread, Norna of the Fitful-head,
Mighty in her own despite— \¥-iserable in her might ;
In despair and frenzy -great,
In her greatness desolate ;
Wisest, wickedest wh. lives,
Well can keep the word she gives !”
While Norna chanted the first part of this rhyme, she corapleted the task of laying bare a part of the leaden coffin of the ancient war- rior, and severed from it, with much caution and apparent awe, a portion ef the metal. She then reverentially threw back the sand upos the coffin, and by the time she had fin- ishec. her song, no trace remained that the secrets of the sépulchre had been violated.
Mertoun remained gazing on her from be- hind the churchyard wall during the whole erainon ys not from.any impression of venera- ticn for her or her employment, btit because he cenceived that to interrupt a madwoman in her act of madness, was not the best way to obtain from her such intelligence as she might have to impart. Meanwhile he had full time to consider her figure, although her face was obsenred by her disheveiled hair, and by the hood of her dark mantle, which permitted no more to be visible than a Druidess would pro- bably have exhibited at the celebration of her mystical rites. Mertoun had often heard of Norna before ; nay, it is most probable that he might have seen her repeatedly, for she had been in the vicinity of Jar'shof more than once since his residence there. But the ab- surd stories which were in circulation respect- ing ber, prevented his paying any attention to a person whoni he regarded as either an im- postor or a madwoman, ora compound of both. Yet, pow that iis attention was, by circumstances, involuntarily fixed upon her person and deportment, he could not help acknowledging to himself that she was either a coraplete enthusiast, or rehearsed her part soadmirably, that no Pythoness of ancient time could have excelled her. The dig- nity and solemnity of her gesture,—the ‘sonorous, yet impressive tone of voice with which she addressed the departed spirit whose mortal relics she ventured to disturb, were such as failed not to make an impression upon him, careless and indifferent as he generally appearec’ toall that went on around him. But no sooner was her singular occupation terminated, than, entering the churchyard with some difficulty, by clamoring over the disjointed ruins of the wall, he made Norna aware of his presence. Far from start- ing, or expressing the last surprise at his ap- pearance in a place so solitary, she said, in a tone that seemed to intimate that he had been expected, ‘‘So—you have sought me at last ?”
** And found you,” replied Mertoun, judg- ing he would best introduce the inquires he had to make, by assuming a tone which cor- responded to her own.
** Yes!” she replied, “found me you have and in the place where ell men must meet— amid the tabernacles of the dead.”
** Here we must, indeed, meet at last,” re- plied Mertoun, glancing his eyes on his deso- late scene around, where headstones, half covered with sand,;and others, from which the same wind had stripped the soil on which they rested, covered with inscriptions, and sculptured with the emblems of mortality, were the most conspicious objects,—‘‘ here, as in the house of death, allmen must meet at length ; and happy those that come soonest to the quiet haven.”
‘He that dares desire this haven,” said Norna, ‘‘ must have steered a steady course in the voyage of life. I dare not hope for such quiet harbor. Darest thou expect it? or has the course thou hast deserved it 7”

correspondent of the
® | Patriot, who writes to that paper that
Geotgetown is frozen up, is a little too previous. The Patrict also makes the same announcement in its locals of yester- day, adding that several vessels loading there are frozen in. Such statements only show how ignorant both the Patriot and its Montague correspondent are of the shipping going on at Georgetown.
The harbor is as open now to the railway wharf as it wasa month ago. True, there was some ice on Sunday, but has now dis- appeared,
A vessel sailed on Dec. 30th, and one on the 3lst Dec. On the 2nd inst., the schooner Carl Ichury, from Gloucester via Murray Harbor, arrived on Tuesday, 3rd inst. The schooner Jubilee arrived from Cardigan, and the brigantine Plymouth, and a schooner sailed for Boston. On Thursday, the 5th, the schooner Kazia, from Lower Cardigan, arrived here to complete cargo, and the brigantine Acacia sailed for Baltimore, and the schooner Centennial for Gloucester via Souris. The schooner Minnie May is also about loaded and ready to sail. When the two schooners now here sail it will make 65,000 bushel of potatoes that have been carried away by vessels sailing since the 30th ult.

The Situation. ( Monetary Times. )
The Dominion Grange has passed a reso- lution in favor of unrestricted reciprocity with the United States, and another in favor of restricted reciprocity with Great Britain. This is the check by which com- mercial union is likely, in the end, to be brought toa stand. It would be difficult to find any considerable number of Cana- dians assembled together, who, declaring for unrestricted reciprocity with the United States, would refuse to affirm the desira- bility of equal freedom of trade with the mother country. Free trade with these two countries would leave very little for a tariff to touch ; it would cut off nearly the whole of the customs’ revenue. The stand taken by the Dominion Grange might have been affirmed in a ditferent way ; a declara- tion in favor of direct taxation, which the resolutions involve, would have been an- other road to the same end. But it would not sound so well; direct taxation would be unacceptable to the farmer, however it might affect his real interest. Jt is very short-sighted policy to pronounce in favor of a line of action which must lead to direct taxatien, as a substitute for Customs’ revenue, unless the cost has been counted, and the whole change be accepted in ad- vance. Can it be that the Dominion Grange did not see the inevitable result of carrying out its proposal’? If so, it should in future beware of playing with edge tools.

Useful Workmen.
In an article on the relation of mechanics to their work, the Iron Trades Exchange has the following pertinent remarks : ‘*The mechanic who is constantly striving to excel; who makes the most of all his opportunities, and aims to perform evefy task in a manner superior to his last, is accomplishing two important results. He is constantly increasing his own useful- ness and value, and is becoming more and more of a practical mechanic, and develop- ing more manliness and character. Such a mechanic is seldom obliged to engage in strikes or other labor controversies. The value of such a man’s service is readily recognised, appreciated and adequately paid for, This is the class of men all em- ployers are glai to secure, and the desire to retain their services provides for their satisfactory treatment and satisfactory payment, But the class of hands whose only object on entering the shop is to while away the time, no matter how, till the whistle blows, are always in an un- pleasant frame of mind, are always discon- tented with their lot, and are almost always ready to participate in any con- troversy for the improvement of their condition. $F eelingand manifesting but little interest in their work, their services are of little real value, and tolerated simply because better hands are not available. Rendering but in different service at the best, they receive the often grudgingly paid, average market rates of wages, and are not regarded with special interest or favor by their employers.”
As the writer goes onto show, this class stand, directly in their own light. ** By their neglect to improve themselves in every possible manner, they continue to lack the skilled efficiency which would readily and invariably improve their con- dition in every respect. The condition of this class is little better than that of slaves. Their labor is irksome in the extreme, its rewards unsatisfactory, and their prospects anything but pleasant. But let them but enter upon their work with a determina- tion to master it and perfect themselves in all its details, they will immediately be surprised at the wonderfully improved as- pect of their lot. The more faithfulness and efliciency a workman puts into his work the lighter and pleasanter that work becomes, and the surer are its due rewaras, for faithfulness and efficiency are qualities which every employer prizes and quickly recognises. Whenever a workman honors his work, his work is sure to honor him,”
