THE PIRATE.

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXXVI. (Continued )

Magnus again uplifted the handspike, but Bunce stopped his hand. ‘‘ Avast, father!” he said, ‘‘ or you will make a bad voyage of it presently. And you, Fletcher. let go the girl.”

** And, d——n me! why should I let her go?” said Fletcher.

‘** Because |. command you dick,” said the other, *‘ and because I'l! make it a quarrel else.—And now let me know, beauties, is there one of you» bears that queer heathen name of Minna, for which | have a certain sort of regard /” “Gallant sir tT” said Halcro, unquestion- ably it is because you have some poetry in your heart.”’

‘*T have had enough of it in my mouth in any time,” answered Bunce; *‘ buat that day is by, old gentleman —however, I shall soon find out which of these girls is Minna.—Throw back your muffling from your faces, and don’t be afraid, my Linda- miras ; no one here shall meddle with you to do you wrong. On my soul, two pretty wenches:!—I wish I were at sea in an egg- shell, and a rock wnder my lee-bow, if I would wish a better leaguer-lass than the worst of them !—Hark you, my girls; which of you would like to swing in a rover’s hammock ?—you should have gold for the gathering !”’

The terrified maidens clung close to- gether, and grew pale at the bold and familar language of the desperate liber- tine.

‘*Nay, don’t be frightened,” said he; ‘“no ‘one shall serve under the noble Altramont but by her own free choice— there is no pressing amongst gentlemen of fortune. And do not look so shy upon me neither, as if | spoke of what you never thought of before. One of you, at least has heard of Captain Cleveland, the

Lover.”

Brenda grew still, paler, but the blood mounted at once in Minna’s cheeks, on hearing the name of her lover thus unexpectedly introduced; for the scene was in itself so confounding, that the idea of the vessel being the consort of which Cleveland had spoken at Bargh-Westra, had occurred to no one save the Udaller.

**T sse how it is,” said Bunce, with a familiar ned, ‘‘ and I will hold my course accordingly. You need not be afraid of any injury, farther,” he added, addressing Magnus familiarly; ‘‘and though I have made many a pretty girl pay tribute in my time, yet yours shall go ashore without either wrong or ransom.”

‘* If you will assure me of that,” said Maguus, *‘you are as welcome to the brig and cargo, as ever | made man welcome to a can of punch.”

‘‘And it is no bad thing that same can of puach,” said Bunce, ‘‘if we had any one that could mix it well.”

‘*T will do it,” said Claud Halcro, ‘‘with any man that ever squeezed lemon—-Eric Seambester, the punch-maker of . Burgh- Westra, being alone excepted.”

‘‘And you are within a cable’s length of him, too,” said the Udaller. ‘*Go down below, my girls,” he added, ‘‘and send up the rare oldman, and the punch bowl.”

‘* The punch-bowl!” said Fletcher; ‘I say, the bucket, (——-n me! Talk of bowls in the cabin of a paltry merchantman, but not to gentlemen strollers—rovers, I would say,” correcting himself, as he observed that Bunce looked sour at the mistake.

‘‘And I say, these two pretty girls shail stay on deck, and fill my can,” said Bunce; ‘- | deserve some attendance, at least, for all my generosity.”

‘‘And they shall fill mine, too,” said Fletcher—‘* they shall fill it to the brim!— and I will have a kiss for every drop they spill—boil me if I won't.

Scientific Phenomena in Spiritual- ism.

Srr,-I was correct. The professed seeker ‘‘ for information,” when he didn’t sueceéd in his real object—yratifying his vanity by engaging in a public discussion on what he'knows little or nothing of —now turns to work to write in the vain hope of ** completely disgusting” me from writing. So long as he wilfully misrepresents, he need mot flatter himself, referring to Math. 5:22, as he belongs. to another class and family, as he can see in John 8:44; so I was right in’ being advised by Prov. 26:4,5. Ready as ever in falsifying as if he hadn't been convicted in miy last, he now says that at the Institute, I stated I could explain everything. But here are my words there read: ‘‘ This is a mysterious, wopdrous power; yet it is not supernatural, but natural ; no delusign, nor devil, nor disem- bodied spirit, but actually natural. Let us remember. that we are surrounded with wonders inexplicable, but natural all the same.. There are no phenomena in nature, in the material or spiritual world, that can

self ; all that F-would know, feel, see, &c., he would; and I would have full control over him. If I told him, or even silently willed him to stretch forth bis hand, it would require as much force to puil itdown as if iron or steel, This power thus developed is called Odylic or Psychic force. Alter practising this for some time the person can put herself into this mesmeric state at will in the presence of whomsoever she wishes, and al! they know she knows, but nothing more. Whatever they will her to say she will say. Next, she can get into this state and her spirit view other countries, and exercise power at a datance without bodily contact. After all, this is no more wonderful than taking a bar of iror. of a certain temperature, pointing the end of it, without contact, with the proper dip, towards the north or magnetic pole, many thousands of miles distant, and by a blow struck on the other end of it, making it a maguet ; or heavenly bodies so far olf in space that light travelling nearly 200,000 miles a second, requiring 32,000 millions of years. to reach them, still they, without contact, are influencing our sun and earth,

be explained”. Science even explains noth- ; ing. It only classifies phenomena, drawing’ out the law or-order.of sequence according to which events occur, but ‘not accounting forthe law. | Facts ate grouped together, but not accounted for. | Philosophers note no more new facts as to the »spiritual laws than did the wise men of Greece, Rome, India or Egypt. The fundamental] doctrine of true philosophy is, we have ‘no ~ knuw- ledge of anything but phenomena ; and our knowledge of phenomena is relative, not absolute. We know not the essence, nor the real mode of production, of any fact, but only its relations to other facts in the way of succession or of similitude. These relations are constant ; that is always the same in the same cireumstances. The constant resemblances which phenomena, and the constant sequences which unite them as antecedent and coasequent, are termed their laws. The /ais of phenomena are all we know about them. Their essen- tial nature, and their ultimate causes, either efficient or final, are unknown and inscrutable to us. Consciousness of the properties of matter is the prerogative of mind. Matter has no such sensibility, Initiative power is the prerogative of mind, Matter is endued with no initiative power —it-dees not put itself in motion. Mind is not solid, orfiaid, or g¥s@ous ; nor has it contour or outline ; nor is it blue, or red, or white, or black ; it is not sweet or bitter; it has not any of these properties, because it has consciousness of them, as the proper- ties of matter ; it knows them objectively because thoy are not of itself. It knows force, or power subjectively because they are of itself, controllable, in and by itself, as a quality or property of itself. Let. us remember, therefore, all through the con- sideration of this subject of the scientific phenomena cf Spiritualism that matter is not mind, and that mind is net matter, and that the both in their eSsence are as wonderful and inexplicable as are the scien- tific facts of Spiritualism. We know as little of Electricity, Magnetism, Chemical Aflinity, Digestion, Growth, Attraction or Gravitation, as we do of the essence of matter and of sad. Electricity pro- duces magnetism, and is called electro-mag- netism; magnetism makes electricity which is then ca'led magietc-electricity. Heat causes electricity, and then it is called thermo-electricity, Chemical action pro- duces it and it is then styled Galvanic or Voltaic-electricity. These are in the human body, and are called animal magnetism, &e. If there is a vast difference between matter dead in clay and reck, and matter. alive in animals and plants; so surely there isa great differeuce between dead electricity and magnetism in earth and sky, and living mag- netism and electricity in man and the infer- ior animals { A galvani-: charge will make a dead frog leap, a leg of beef or mutton kick, the eves in a dead ox’s head cut off, to open and stare, and the tongue to stick out and bellow. Mesmerizing is done through magnetism and electricity in the parties. Strong healthy men have the posi- tive; weakly effeminate men, and women have the negative electricity and magnet- ism. This is the reason why mediums are mostly women. There is more electricity, &e., in persons. at night than through the day, and hetice at night Spiritualists oper- ate. Positives and negatives have an at- traction or affinity for each. Just as elec- tricity in one body passes over into, and controls, another body with less and weaker kinds of electricity; so the magnet- izer—the positive, controls the mesmerized —the negative or weaker. When my nerv- ous fluid, like an electric current courses along my nerves leading from my brain,

{enters and controls my mouth to speak and

act, why not when in communication with a mesmerized person whose personal control over her nervous energy is left to be subject to the control of any one put in nervous connection with her, my nervous energy shall pass over as electricity on connected telephone vires to her frame to influence her lips and I direct my nervous energy to her lips, through them I may speak out by her lips my own thoughts as when I send a /message to be spoken out from a distant telephone machine? This is no more wonderful for double nervous systems than for me to send a message thousands cf miles distant by another nervous system or instrumentality. In mesmerism not only must the one to be operated upon be weakly, nervous, and of negative electri- city, &c., but must be passive, humble, trustful, receptive, complying, so that she as the subject may receive the influence of the other’s stronger mind and control. The operator shuts up all her senses from, the external world, puts her asleep by gazing, or serpent-like fascination, magnetizing by waving his hands near her eyes, and by placing his hands on her head,as by the pole of a magnet.. Just «sa. magnet rubbed on a Piece of steel, or even is put “ar to it without contact, communicat) .s pro-

and are influenced by them through at- traction ; or blind people, by practising and developing the sense of feeling, learning to perceive and distinguish colors ; or thoughts and dreams about persons far off just be- fore being heard from or seen ; your looking at a person’s side face,in meeting, for a short time, causing him to know it without seeing, you, and to turn around to see why you are staring.”

Now a few facts to prove the foregoing. Just as alcohol, though poweiful, comes from disorganization, disarrangement of organized constituted elements, by ferment- ing or rotting ; so this odylie or psychic force comes from disordering, Seen’ by disease or'unhealthy practices, what

had constituted. Nervous disorders often suddenly make mediums, clear of spiritual- ism altogether. Those thus affected with this force morbidly developed or suddenly by disease, have polarity and attraction and repulsion, and give off galvanic or voltaic shocks. A strong magnet that woula lift ten pounds’ weight, powerfully affects those

sickly with weak nerves, the hys- teric, the spasmodic, the cataleptic, the epileptic, the paralytic, sleep--

walkers, and the insane, as well as all easily mesmerized, and all mediums. The nervously diseased and disordered

eho n +more they feel the magnet, and the

more susceptible they are to having this force. With their eyes shut they can feel the magnet’s influence though it touch them not. When one pole is passed by them, a cool breezy feeling is experienced along the line of passage or traction, while the other pole causes a warm, tepid feeling, but both causing sensation in them like a limb asleep. Passed near their nostrils, tongue or eyes, it affects their taste; smell or sightyeven with shut eyes or in the case of the blind, they see an aurora brightness at the. poles of the magnet, and irradiating from them. So persons, while being mes- merized or magnetized by another person, see, these haloes and rings of light playing around the head and from the hands of the mesmerizer, and strings or threads of light passing towards them, lambent glowings of light bewitching them towards those they are placed in rapport, asin mediumistic ‘spirit circles” around a table. Those mesmerized, who have also been in these *‘circles,”” declare they have the same effects on their systems and effects fronr the same source, or charged with the same force. In England, long before spiritual- ism, a girl magnetized and attracted oak, silk, &c., and repeiled by her presence, tables, a tub with two men on it, a chest with three wen on it, and achair broken by two men holding it down. She was worst in the evening from 7 to 9 o'clock. She gave off electric shocks. In 1772, in England, in a house, the china, giass, crockery and furniture tossed about and broke from the mistress and servant being similarly charged; as in electricity and magnetism, like repels like. The mistress ran affrighted toa neighbor's: There she was bled, when the blood sudcenly sprinkled from the basin, andthe basin and other dishes broke. When either was away all was quiet. Both together, all was deviltry. In the case of the witches at Salem, Mass., long ago, they could sve blindfolded, and at any distance. They attracted pins, iron rods, a staff, an iron hook, shoes, keys, chests, a bedstead with men in it, a pressing iron, stirrup and a small anchor ; shocks would be given out, knockings, noises among pots; also repul- sion of persons and things similarly charged. But enough for the present Yours truly, S. G. Lawson.
