CHAPTER XX.
Is all the counsel that we two have shared-- The sisters’ vows, the hours that we have spent, When we have child the hasty-footed time
For parting us—Oh., and is all forgot?
Midsummer-Nigit’s Dream.
The attention of Minna was powerfully ar-
rested by this tale of terror, which accorded with and explained many broken hints respect- ing Norma, which she had heard from her father and other near relations, and she was for a time so lost in surprise, not, unmingled with horror, that she did not even attempt to speak to her sister Brenda, _ When, at length, she called heryby her name, she received answer, and, on touching her hand, Found it cvid as ice. Alarmed to the uttermost,, she threw open the lattice and the winZew,shut- te’s, and admitted at once the irom, and the pale glimmer of the hyperboreag, er night, She then became sensible that her sister was ina swoon, All thoughts concern- ing Norna, her frightful tale, and her myster- ious connection with the invisable world, at once vanished from Miona’s thonghts, and she hastily ran to the apartment of the old house- keeper, to summon her aid, without reflecting fo: a moment what sights she might encounter in the long dark passages which she had to traverse. The old woman hastened to Brenda’s assist- ance, an instantly applied such remedies as her experience suggested ; but the poor girl’s nervous system had been so much agitated by the horrible tale she had just heard, that, when recovered from her swoon, her utmost endeavors to compose her mind could not prevent her falling into a hysterical fit of some duration. This also was subdued by the experience of old Euphane Fea, who was well versed in all the simple pharmacy used by the natives of Rutland, and who, after administer- ing a composing draught, distilled from simples aud wild flowers, at length saw her patient resigned to sleep. Minna stretched herself beside her sister, kissed her cheek,and courted slumber in her turn; but the more she invoked it, the farther it seemed to fly from her eyelids; and if at times she was disposed to sink into repose, the voice of the involuntary parricide seemed again to sound in her ears, and startled her into conscious- ness,
The early morning hour at which they were accustomed to rise, found the state of the sisters different from what I have been expect- ed. A sound sleep had restored the spirit ot Brenda's lightsome eyes and the rose on her laughing cheek; the transient indispo- sition of the preceding night having Hleft as little trouble on her look, as the fantas- tic terrors of Norna tale had been able to im- press on her imagination. The looks of Minna, on the contrary, were melancholy, downcast, and apparently exhausted by watching and anxiety. They said at first little to each other, as if afraid of touching a subject so fraught with emotion as the scene of the sirockding night. It was not until they had performed together their devo- tions, as usual, that Brenda, while lacing Minna’s bodice (for they rendered the services of the toilet to each other reciprocally), be- came aware of the paleness of her sister's looks; and having ascertained, by a glance at the mirror, that her own did not wear the same dejection, she kissed Minna’s cheek, and said affectionately, ‘*Cland Halcro was right, my dearest sister, when his poetical folly gave us these riames of Night and Day.”
** And wherefore should you say so now ?” said Minna.
** Because we each are bravest in the season that we take our names from; I was fright- ened well-nigh todeath by hearing those things last night which you endured with courageous firmness; and now, when it is broad light, I can think of them with compo- sure, while you look as pale as a spirit who is surprised by sunrise.”
** You are lacky, Brenda,” said her sister, gravely, ‘‘ who can so soon forget such a tale of wonder and of horror.”
‘* The horror,” said Brenda, ‘‘ is never to be forgotten, unless one could hope that the un- fortunate woman's excited imagination, which shows itself so. active in conjuring up appari- tions, may have. fixed on.her an imaginary crime.”
** You believe nothing, thea,” said Minna, ‘of her interview at the Dwarfie Stone, that wondrous place, of which so many tales are told, and which, for so many centuries, has been reverenced as the work of 4 demon, and as his abode ?”
‘*T believe,” said Brenda, ‘‘that our un- happy relative is no impestor,—and therefore I believe that she was at the Dwarfie Stone during a thunderstom that she sought shelter in it, and that, during a swoon, or during sleep perhaps, some dream visited her, con- cerned with the popular traditions with which ‘she was conversant; but I cannot easily believe more.”
**And yet the event,” said Minna, “ corre- sponded in the dark imitations of the vision.”
‘*Pardon me,” said Brenda, ‘‘I rather think the dream would never have been put into shape, or perhaps remembered at all, but for the event. She told us herself she had nearly forgot the vision, after her father’s dreadful death—and who shall warrant. how mach of ‘what she then supposed herself to remember was not the creation of her own fancy, dis- ordered asit naturally was by the horrid accident? Had she really seen and conversed with a necromantic dwarf, she was likely to remember the conversation long enough—at least I am sure 1 should.”
“Brenda,” replied Minna. ‘you have heard the good minister of the Cross-Kirk say, that human wisdom was worse than folly, when it was applied to mysteries beyond its com- prehension ; and that, it we believed no more than we could understand, we should’ resist the evidence of our senses, which presented us, at every turn, circumstances as certain as they were unintelligible.”
** You are too learned yourself, sister,” an- swered Brenda, “*to need the assistance of the good minister of Cross-Kirk ; but I think his doctrine only related to the mysteries of our religion, which it is our duty to receive without investigation or doubt—but in things occurring in common life, as God has bestowed reason upon us, we cannot act wrong in em- ploying 1t. But you, my dear Minna, have a warmer fancy than mine, and are willing , to receive all those wonderful stories for truth, foam: you love te think of { sorcenamy and
we and water-spiits, wo j nash to ave w iN ee, UE foley, a

Scotch call them, witha green coat, and a pair of wings as brilliant as the hues of the star- ling’s neck, specially to attend on you.”
**Tt would spare you at least the trouble of lacing my dice,” said Minna, “‘ and of lacing it prong: too; for in the heat of your argument you have missed two eyelet-holes.”

Temperance Notes.
The bogus lease racket, which is often used to defeat a Scott Act conviction, failed of its purpose in a Guelph case.
The celebration of tke Irish Catholic Tem Convention at St. Patrick's Church, Montreal, a few days ago, was, the Gazette gays, an imposing and most success- {ul demonstration.
Dean Carmichael, of Montreal, called a meeting in St. George's schoolroom, a few days ago, for the purpose of reviving the St. George’s Temperance Society. Good example for the clergy of Charlottetown. The Dufferin Post, which describes itself ag *‘anti-dynamite first and anti-Scott Act second,” says: ‘‘ The people of Dufferin would submit to a tax of $5,000 a year to keep the Scott Act in force rather than have it said that they succumbed to dyna- mite.”
An eloquent sermon was delivered a few days ago by the Rev. Father Fahey oi St. Gabriei’s, Montreal. ** They shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and majesty,” in which he drew a graphic picture’depicting the position which the drunkard will take on the awful day of general judgment, and exhorted the mem- bers of the temperance societies present to endeavor by word and example to entice others to join their ranks, that they, too, might reap the promised reward of our Saviour to his good and faithful servants. ‘The Ontario Government is about to en- force the teaching of ‘‘ scientific temper- ance” in the public sehvols. This will be another blow at the liquor traflic, for youths will be educated on the evils of drink in all its phases. Really scientilic temperance education will teach young people the phy- sicial and mental decreptitude which fol- lows the habitual use of alcohol. Without interfering with the morality or the sympa- thetic views of the question,this new depar- ture willaim solely at showing the diseases which are caused by drink, how alcohol short- ens life, induces paralysis of the brain and general debility. It isa move in the right direction.
The last business done by the Northwest Council was the submitting of two series of resolutions, one on the temperance question and one on the proposed new form of government for the Territories. The temperance resvlutions express the opinion that the Territorigs should have the same privileges regarding the regulation of the liquor traffic as the provinces; that the provisions of the Canada Temperance Act should be extended to the Territories ; and that the prohibition clauses of the North- west Territories Act be repealed, such repeal not to come into force until one month after the sitting of the Northwest Council or ‘Assembly.
In the fine old temperance county of Yarmouth the prohibitionists have not thought proper to bring out a third candi- date. The Yarmouth county temperance convention met at Hebron and took into consideration the question of candidates. Mr. Pelton moved a resolution stating that **Mr. John Lovitt was a good temperance man vorthy of the support of the electors, and also that Mr. Thomas Crosby was a good temperance man.” This resolution was defeated by avote of 22to 15. An- other resolution ‘‘that the convention re- cognize Mr. T. B. Crosby asa _ consistent temperance man and active worker in the cause, and commend him to the support of the temperance electors,’’ was carried by a vote of 23 tol4. It appears that Mr. Lovitt’s temperance proclivities are of very recent date, while Mr. Crosby is an old stager.
Hon. Mr. Ross, Minister of Education in Ontario, in a letter, states :
1. That, the teaching «t Temperance and hygiene is notoptional with Public School Boards.
2. Itis not intended by the Department that Temperance and hygiene should be simply a casual or ornamenta! branch of study. The words of the Regulation are as tollows :—
‘* The nature and effects of alcohol upon the system, andthe importanee of Temperance and a strict observance of the lawswf health as set forth in the authorized text-book, should form part of the regular instruction of the school from the second form upwards, and should be taught, either by the use of text- books or otherwise, as thoroughly as any other subjects.”
3. While the school authorities are at liberty to direct that Temperance and hygiene shall be taught with or without a text-book, they are not at liberty, if atext-book is deemed necessary, to introduce any other than the one authorized by the Education Department.
On Saturday, a majority of the clectors cf Atlanta, Ga., voted in favor of a return to license, although under prohibition the city has made magnificent moral and material progress. Monday’s New York Times con- tains a :pecial despatch from Atlanta, dated Sunday, which says: The result will be formally declared at noon tu-morrow, and, under Supreme Court decisions of two years ago, the law goes into effect at once. The Council has absolute contro] in the matter of license, and a great.deal of in- terest is felt in the probable action of that body,. A special session has been called for to-morrow afternoon. The Couucil is pro- hibition in its complexion. A careful can- vass of the situation shows that the Ooun- cil is likely to fix the license at $2000. The anti-prohibitionists in the Council are high licensé men, and they, with the other anti- leaders, would like to see the license fixed $1000. The antis are not sorry that the re- sponsibility of the action, whatever it may be, will fall on the prohibition Council. Almost all of the ministers referred to the fight in their sermons Sunday, but none showed bitterness. They all urged the re- uniting of the people for the good of the
city, aud_ the restricting usder strong laws ee eke oe
