THE PIRATE

By Sir Wralter Scott.

UNAS aise ore. (Continued )

“And he does not love you,” said Norna, hastily; ‘‘he never loyed anything, or any one, save himself. He is vnfortunate, but well are his misfortunes deserved.—O Mor- daunt, you have one parent orly,—-one parent who loves you as the drops of the heart- blood |”

**I know I have but one parent,” rep'ied Mordaunt; ‘“‘my mother has been long dead. But your words contradict each other.”

“They do not—they do not,” said Norna, in a paroxysm of the deepest feeling ; ‘‘ you have but one parent. Your unhappy mother is not dead. I would to God that she were ! but che is not dead. Thy mother is the oniy parent that lovest thee ; and [—I, Mordaunt,” throwing herself on his neck, ‘‘ain that most unhappy-—-yet most happy mother.”

She closed him in a strict and convulsive embrace and tears, te first, perhaps, which she had shed for many years, burs* in torrents as she sobbed on his neck. Astonished at what he heard, felt, and saw,—moved by the excess of her agitation, yet disposed to ascribe this burst of passion to insanity,—Mordaunt vainly endeavored to tranquilize the mind of this extraordinary person.

““ Ungrateful boy!” she said, “‘ who but a mother would have watched Bvgr thee as I have watched? From the instant I saw thy father, when he little thought b om he was Observed, a space now man s back, I knew him well; and, under his charge, I saw you, then a stripling,—while Nature, speaking loud in my bosom, assured me, thou wert blood of my blood, and bone‘of my bone, Think how often you have wondered to see me, when least expected, in your places of

astime and resort! Think how often my eye as watched you on the giddy precipices, and muttered those charms which subdue the evil demons, who shew themselves to the climber on the giddiest point of his path, and force him to euit his hold ! Did I not hang around thy neck, in pledge of thy safety, that chain of gotd, which an Elfin King gave to the founder of our race? Would I have given that dear gift to any but to the son of my bosom ?—Mordaunt, my power has done that for thee that a mere mortal mother would dresd to think of. I have conjured the Mer- maid at midnight that thy bark might be prosperous on the Haaf! I have hushed the winds, and navies have flapped their empty sails against thefmast in finactivity, that you might safely indulge your sport upon the crags!”

Mordaunt, perceiving that she was growing yet wilder in her talk, endeavored to frame an answer which shoald be at once indulgent, soothing, and calculated to allay the rising warmth of-her i ination.

‘* Dear Norna,” he said, ‘‘I havé indeed many reasons to call you mother, who have bestowed so many benefits upon me ; and from me yon shall ever receive the affection and duty of a child. Bat tie chain you men- tioned, it has vanished from my neck—-I have not seen it since the ruffian stabbed me.” ‘Alas! and can you think of itat this moment?” said Norna, in a sorrowful accent. ** But be it so ;—and know it was I took it from thy neck, and tied it around the neck of her who is dearest to you; in token that the union betwixt you, which has been the only earthly wish which 1 have had the power to form, shall yet, even yet, be accomplished— ay, although hell should open to forbid the banns !”

‘* Alas!” said Mordaunt, with a sigh, ‘“tyou remember not the «lifference betwixt our situation—her father is wealthy and of ancient birth.”

** Not more wealthy than will be the heir of Norna of Fitful-bead,” answered the Python- ess, ‘“‘not of better or more ancient blood than that which flows in thy veins, derived from thy mother, the descendant of the same Jarls and Sea-kings from whom Magnus boasts his origin- Or dost thou think, like the pedant and fanatic strangers who have come amongst us, that thy blood is dishonored be- cause my union with thy father did not re- ceive the sanction of e priest! Know that we

were wedded after the ancient man- ner of the Norse—-our hands were clasped within the circle of Odin,

with such deep vows of eternal fidelity, as even the laws of these usurping Scots would have sanctioned as equivalent to a blessing be. fore the alter. To the offspring of such a union, Magnus has nought to qbject. It was weak—it ws criminal on my part, but it conyeyed no i..tamy to the birth of my son.”

The composed and collected manner in which Norna argued these points began to impose upon Mordaunt an incipient belief in the truth of which she said; and, indeed, she added so many circumstances, satisfact- ority and rationally connected with each other, as seemed to confute the notion that her story was altogether the delusion of that insanity which sometimes shewed itself in her speech and actions. A thougand confused ideas rushed upon him, when he supposed it possible that the unhappy person before him might actually have a right to claim from him the respect and affection due to a parent for ason. He could on'y surmount them by turning his mind to a different, and scarce less interesting topiz, resolving within him- selita take time for farther inquiry and mature consideration, ere he either rejected or admitted the claim which Norna preferred upon his affection and duty. His benefac- tress, at least, she undoubtedly was, and he could not err in paying her, as such, the respect and attention due froma son to a mother; and so far, therefore, he might gratify Norna without otherwise standing commnitted.

** And do you then really think, my mother —since so you bid me term you,’—said Mordsunt, ‘‘ that the proud Magnus Troil may, by any inducement, be prevailed upon to relinquish the angry feelings which he has of late adopted towards me, and to permit my addresses to his daughter Brenda ?”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

—_——-———— Stephen G. and Spiritualism. Srrx,—I was considerably otrpriase ° letter published over the eee a lens Lawson in THE ExaMINER of the — Before giving the cause of e. ae ae hasvarar, wish to state pease y . ° le asking for * formation, and not taking up arms tor a contcoversy with the rev, gentleman, whom none of our citizens seems anxious or will- ing to oppose publicly. Having read but few of the communications ou Spiritualism I beg to apologise if this one shall aguin lead you over ground trodden by others. In Mr. Lawson's address before the L. & S. Institute, (of which I am sorry the pub- lic had net a betrer, i. ¢. a fuller account) he stated that there were, ‘* only two things in this world, ‘*‘ mind’ and ‘ matter.’” He should more properly have put it, *‘ force or energy,” and ‘‘matter,” as all force is not mind although all mina is force. After very properly denouncing the creeds and deceotions of modern Spiritualists, he stat- ed and endeavored to prove that all their performances and apparently superiuraan revelations could be accomplished through mesmerista and clairvoyance; akled by mechanical appliances, and juggerly fraud. He described man as beidg an autcisaton, that anumber of the miner «cts which com- pose a part of his life are directed cr con- ducted by the ‘‘ ganglion,” and thst the “cerebrum” and “cerebellum” sre not disturbed or called upon to direct sail acts. He briefly reviewed the elementary prin- ciples of magnetism, electricity, electro- magnetism, magnecto-electricity, thermo- electricity, animal magnetism, &c., and left and indistinct impression that their connection with, or operation through the nervous and muscular systems produced the modern phenomena known as spiritualism. Of course such operations were aided by by weakness of mind, and in some cases by events imprinted on the memory in time long past, which events were more recently forgotten. Briefly,{there was no need to imagine anything superhuman to be con- nected with it,—there could not possibly be such. After hearing him so learnedly enuscia- ting those doctrines, and seeing him leave the field with the foe trodden beneath his feet, imagine my surprise on seeiag in THE EXAMINER before referred to, one and a half coluinns gof scholarly argument to prove how exceedingly wicked and contrary to Scripture is the practice of that which he iad before so conclusively proved has no existence. In the Bible—the revealed Word of God to man --we find no unnecessary commands or injunctions. We are not forbidden to jump over the moon; the act being impos- sible the command would: be useless and silly; but weare forbiddea to kill, steal, bear fale witness, etc. The teaching, therefore, is what is possible, but wrong is forbidden; what is impossible need not be spoken of.

Now, Mr. Lawson, following up Dr. Leem- ing’s remarks of that evening shows :n

Deut. 18, 9-12, nine points into which God

divides. His condemnation of such practi-

ces, showing beyond doubt that there were

at jeast nine phases of the subject, which

God, in His supreme wisdom, considered it

necessary to prohibit, each being possible.

If, however, the table-rapping and board-

moving of Charlottetown to-day are the re- sults of natural causes, whether understood or not, they do not come under those com-

mands. Itisofno consequence whether they owe their origin tw ** mesmerism,

clairvoyance, ganglion, cerebrum, cerebe!-

lum, or medulla obloryata,” or all combi.-

ed, the commands of the Bib’e do not touch

thera, at least those referred to in thet coim-

munication.

Now, return to the first idea—force and

matier. The moving of a table or board,

which is matter, must be due to force.

There is no getting round that. Force,

however, is exhibited in so many different ways we may be easily deceived in our judgment as to which phase of it produces the result. With the results of some of the phases, we are all more or less familiar, as for instance heat, light, electricity and sound ; but may there not be yet cther

phases of which very little or nothing is known; and may not the phen-

omena under discussion have their origin

partly in the known and partly in the unknown. Any One who bas given the board-moving a fair and unbiased trial will be ready to admit that there are features about its working which cannot be traced to what we call natural causes, as now understood. 1 do not pretend to say it is influenced by spirits. I dosay, though, it

is not fraud on the part ofjthe performe's, though they may be deceived.

When we consider the rapid strides made in the investigation of one phase of energy, viz : electricity, how it was so recently been classed among the sciences, and how it, in its brief but brilliant career, superceded all

the formerly known phases of force, is it too much to imagine that some yet un- known phase may spring into notice and supercede electricity? Who will dare say there is not, even now,some power or force more subtle than electricity, which operates on our minds at greater distance than sight or sound, and introduces to our thoughts, people long forgotten just a few minutes before they appear in person! Is it too much to imagine that this force may not, some day, be understood and utilized ¢ Then will be settled the aerial wire ques- tion which is now vexing the leading com- mercial and scientific minds of our larger cities, Then the key, relay, and telephone will be thrown aside with the farmer's reaping hook and flail, and our arguments of spirits and spiritualism will be a thing of the past.
