CHAPTER XXIII. (Continued )

Tantalized by such thoughts, Minna was about to make another and decisive effort, when she heard voices beneath the window, and thought she could distinguish that they were those of Cleveland and Mertoun, speak- ing in a sharp tone, which at the same time seemed cautiously suppressed, as if the speak- ers feared being overheard, Alarm now mingled with her former desire to rise from bed, and she accomplished at once the purpose which she had se often atterapted in vain. Brenda's arm was unloosed from her sister's neck, witheut the sleeper receiving more alarm than provoked two or three unintelli- gible murmurs; while, with equal speed and silence; Minna put on some part of her dress, with the intention to steal to the window. But, ere she could accomplish this, the sound of the voices without was exchanged for that of blows and struggling, which terminated suddenly by a deep groan,

Terrified at this last signal of mischief, Minna sprung to the window, and endeayored to open it, for the persons were soclose under the walls of the house that she could not see them, save by putting her head out of the casement, The iron hasp was stiff and rust- ed, and, as generally happens, the haste with which she labored to undo it only rendered the task more difficult, When it was accom-

lished, and Minna had eagerly thrust her dy half out ati the casement. those who had created the sounds which alarmed her were become invisible, excepting that she saw a shadow cross the moonlight, the substance of which must have been in the act of turning a corner, which concealed it from her sight. The shadow moved slowly, and seemed that of aman who supported another upon his shoulders; an indication which put the climax to Minna’s agony of mind. The window was not above eight feet from the ground, and she hesitated not to throw herself from it hastily, and to pursue the object which had excited her terror.

But when she came to the corner of the buildings from which the shadow seemed to have been projected, she discovered nothing which could point out the way that the figure had gone ; and, after a moment's considera- tion, became sensible that all attempts at pursuit would be alike wild and fruitless, Besides all the projections and recesses of the many-angled mansions, aad its numerous offices—besides the various cellars, store- houses, stables, and so forth, which defined her solitary search, there was a range of low rocks, stretching down to the haven, and which were, in fact, a continuation of the ridge which formed its pier. These rocks had many indentures, hollows, and caverns, inte any one of which the figure to which the shadow belonged might have retired with his fatal burden ; for fatal, she feared; it was most likely to prove.

A moment’s reflection, as we have said, con- vinced Minna of the folly of farther pursuit. Her next thought was to alarm the family ; but what tale had she to tell, and of whom was that tale to be told !—On the other hand, the wounded man—if indeed he were wound- ed—alas, if indeed he were not mortally wounded,—might not be passed the reach of assistance ; aa with this idea, she was about to raise her voice, when she was interrupted by that of Claud Halcro, who was returning apparently from the haven, and singing, in his manner, a scrap of an old Norse ditty, which might run thus in English :—

“ And you shall deal the funeral dole ; aed: eal it, mother mine,

oO wear y, and to heavy soul, The white bread andthe wine,

** And you shall deal my horses of pride; Ay, eal them, mother mine ;

And you shall deal my lands so wide, And deal my castles nine.

“ But deal not vengeance for the deed, Aud deal nct for the crime; The body to its place,and the soul to Heaven's

ce, aul the rest in God’s own time,”

The singular adaptation of these rhymes to the situation in which she found herself, seem- ed to Minna like a warning from Heaven. We are speaking of a land of omens and supersti- tions, and perhaps will scarce be understood by those whose whose limited imagination cannot conceive how strongly these operate upon the human mind during a certain pro- gress of society. A line of Virgil, turned up casually, was received in the seventeenth cen- tury, and in the court of England, as an in- timation of future events ; and no wonder that a maiden of the distant and wild isles of Zet- land should have considered as an injunction from Heaven, verses which happened to con- vey a sense analogous to her present situation.

** I will be silent,” she muttered,—‘‘] will seal my lips—

‘ The body to its place, anc| the soul to Heaven's

grace,

And the rest in God’s own time,’”

‘“‘Who speaks there?’’ said Claud Halcro, in some alarm ; for he hed not, in his travels in foreign parts, been able by any means to rid himself of his native superstitons. In the condition to which fear and horror had re- duced her, Minna was at first unable to rep); ; and Halcro, fixing his hig eyes upon the fe. male white figure, which he saw indistinctly, (for she stood in the shadow of the house, and the morning was thick and misty,) began to conjure her in an ancient rhyme which occur. red to him as suited for the occasion, and which had in his gibberish a wild and qneart’,. ly sound, which may be lost jq the ensuing translation i—

“It is 3, Halcro,” mattered Minna, in a

tone go thin and low, that it might have!

passed for the faint reply of the conjured phantom,

** You !—you!” said Halcro, his tone of alarm changing to one of extreme surprise ; by this moonlight, which is waning, and so it is !—Who could have thought to find you, my most lovely Night, wandering abroad in your own element !—But you saw them, I reckon as well as 1?~-bold enough in you to follow them though.”
