CHAPTER VII. -
Stourburgh and Jarlshof; and though the pe-
which crossed Tam o’ Shanter’s path, —for, in a country where there are neither hedges nor stone enclosures, there can be neither ‘‘slaps nor stiles,”’—yet the number and nature of the ‘*mosses and waters” which he had to cross in his peregrination, were fully sufficient to balance the account, and to render his jour- |ney as toilsome and dangerous as Tam 0’ /OShanter’s celebrated retreat from Ayr. Neither witch nor warlock crossed Mordaunt’s path, however. The length of the day was already considerable, and he arrived safe at Jarlshof by eleven o'clock at night. All was still and dark round the mansion, and it was jnot till he had whistled twice or thrice be- |neath Swertha’s window, that she replied to the signal,
At the first sound, Swertha fell into an agreeable dream of a young whale-fisher, who some forty years since used tomake such a signal beneath the window of her hut; at the second, she waked to remember that Johnnie Fea had slept sound among the frozen waves of Greenland for this many a year, and that she was Mr. Mertoun’s governante at Jaris- hof; at the third, she arose and opened the window.
““Whae is that,” she demapded, “‘at sic an
AGENTS-S£A.& LAND is the most popu ‘hour of the night?” “lar book of the day. Contains | ‘“1¢ is I.” said th th over 800 pages, 300 fine eaxravings, and selis | is I,” said the youth.
-25 sub-! ‘‘And what for comena yein? The door’s athering peat on zee te the kitchen fire, and a spunk beside it—ye
ht your ain candle.” “Al well,” replied Mordaunt; ‘‘but I want
| to know how my father is.” ‘Just in his ordinary, de gentleman— ) asking for you, Maister Wovdeints ye are ;ower tar and ower late in your walks, young
gentleman,” “Then the dark hour has passed, Swertha?” **In troth has it, Maister Mordaunt,” an- swered the governate ; ‘“‘and your father is very reasonably good-natured for him, poor gentleman. 1 spoke to him twice yesterday ‘without his speaking first; and the first time ‘he answered me as civil as he could do, and | the neist time he bade me no plague him ; and then, thought I, three times were aye canny, so | spake to uim again for luck’s sake,and he called me a chattering old devil ; but it was quite and clean in a civil sort of way.” “Enough, envugh, Swertha,” answered | Mordaunt ; ‘‘ and now get up and find me ‘something to eat, for | have dined but poor- ly.”
**Then you have been at the new folk's at | Stouterburgh; for there is no another house in
a’ the Isles but they wad hae gi’en ye the best /
share of the best they had? Saw ye aught of Norna of the Fitful-head? She went to Stour- burgh this morning, and returned to the town at night.”
‘*Returned !—then she is here? How conld ‘she travel three leagues and better in so short |a time ?”
‘‘Wha kens how she travels?” replied
Swertha; *‘but I heard her tell the Ranzelman _wi’ my ain lugs, that she intended that day to have gone on to Burgh- Westra, to speak with Minna Troil, but she had seen that at Stour- ,burgh, (indeed she said at Harfra, for she ‘never calls it by the other name of Stour- burgh,) that sent her back to our town. But gang your ways ronnd, and ye shall have plenty of supper—ours is nae toom pantry,and
not in class. Danclas’ conservatory method gtill less a locked ane, though my master be a experienced,
stranger, and no just that tight in the upper,
rigging, as the Ranzelman says.”
Mordaunt walked round to the kitchen ac- cordingly, where Swertha’s care speedily ac- ‘commodated him with a plentiful, though coarse meal, which indentified him for the scanty hospitality he had experienced at Stourburgh.
In the morning, some feelings of fatigue made young Mertoun later than usual in leav ing his bei; so that, contrary to what was the ordinary case, he found his father in the apartment where they eat, and which served them indeed for every common purpose, save that of a bedchamber or ofa kitchen. The son greeted the father in mute reverence, and waited until he should address hiin,
**You were absent yesterday, Mordaunt?” said his father. Mordaunt’s absence had last- ed a week and more; but he had often ob- served that his father never secmed to notice how time passed during the period when he was affected with his sullen vapours. He as- sented to what the elder Mr, Mertoun had said.
“And you were at Burgh-Westra, as I think ?” continued his father.
**Yes, sir,” replied Mordaunt.
The elder Mertoun was then silent for some time, and paced the floorin deep silence, with an air of sombre reflection, which seemed as if he were about to relapse into his moody fit. Suddenly turning to his son, however, he ob- served, in the tone of a query, “‘Magnus Troil has two daughters—-they must be now young women; they are thought handsome, of course ?”
‘‘Very generally, sir,” answered Mordaunt, rather surprised to hear his father making any inquiries about the individuals of a sex which he usually thought so light of, a sur- prise which was much increased by the next uestion, put as abruptly as the former.
‘“‘Which think you the handsomest ?”
‘], sir 2” replied his son with some wonder, but without embarrassment—‘‘ I really am no judge—I never considered which was absolut- ely the handsomest. They are both very rw young women.”
‘*You evade my question, Mordaunt ; per- haps | have some very particular reason for my wish to be acquainted with your taste in this matter. I ask you again, which of Mag- nus Troil’s daughters your think most hand- some ?”
‘Really, sir,” replied Mordaunt—‘‘but you only jest in asking me such a question.”
‘*Youg man,” replied Mertoun, with eyes

‘Then, upon my word, sir,” said Mordaunt, “it is not in my power to form a judgement betwixt the young ladies—they are both verv

Minna is dark-haired, and more grave than her sister—more se1ious, but by no means either dull or suden.”
“Um,” replied his father; ‘tyou have been gravely brought up, and this Minna, I sup- pose, pleases you inost !”

‘That she is best qualified to amuse the young man, who has a dull home and a moody father?” said Mr, Mertoun.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Report of Deaf and Dumb Tour.
Sir,— Will you kindly permit me, through your columns, to present a brief report of our recent tour onthe Island on behalf of the Halifax Institution for the Deaf and Dumb?
Leaving Halifax on the 4th of August last, accompanied by four of the pupils, we spent four weeks on the Isiend, during which we held twenty-one meetings, com- mencing at Charlottetown on the evening of the 5th Aug., proceeding thence through the principal portion of the Island, and holding our farewell meeting in Charlotte- town on the evening of the Ist of Sept. Almost everywhere we were favored with large, often crowded, audiences, who evinced much interest in the exercises of the pupils illastrative of the methods and resuits of the work carried on for the last thirty years in Halifax for the benefit of the deaf mutes of these Maritime Pro- vinces. The fact that for twenty-five years this Institution has been educating deaf mutes for P. E. Island, in most cases free, and the presence among the members of the party of one Island bey from Dundas, doubiless enhanced they interest of the good people of the Island iu the object of the deputation. The charm: ing scenery of your beautiful. Island, which looked its loveliest during the period of our visit, and the kindness and hospitality so generally extended to the party, have leit upon our minds impressions which will net soon be effaced.
The following is a list of the places visited with the amount collected at each :-—

It would be impossible to enumerate in detail the acts of kindness and hospitality I can, therefore, only ask our many friends to accept our grateful acknowledgments. I may, however, be permitted to mention our obligations to the Steam Navigation Co. for free passage from Charlottetown to Pictou; the Superinten- dent of the P. E, Island Railway for favor of special travelling rates; the clergymen of different denominations for their counten- ance and valuable assistance in arranging for our meetings; the friends who, in many instances, conveyed us from place to place in private conveyances, often at much per- sonal inconvenience at the busiest season of the year; proprietors and trustees of halls and churches for free use of the same; and last, but not least, yourself, Mr. Editor, and the press generally for gra- tuitous advertising and friendly nuvtice, without which our meetings must have proved a comparative failure; to one and all we desire to tender our warmest thanks. We trust that some permanent good to the deaf and dumb of the Island may result from our visit, in directing public atten- tion more particularly to their claims, and leading to such legislative action as may secure due provision tor their education. We hope your Island may, ere long, follow the example of the sister Province of Nova Scotia, which, by legislative enactment, has decreed free education for her deaf mutes, providing the sum of $120 a year for the support of every deaf child received into the institution at Halifax. Your Island already provides free education for children blest with hearing and speech. Let her ‘‘ logically pursue the argument,”’ and extend the same privilege to the ** children of silence,” who are unable to lift up a voice in their own behalf.
May wealso cherish the hope that the claims of the Halifax Institution un the consideration of the good people of the Island will not be forgotten. For twenty- five years it has been educating your deaf mutes for a mere pittance, having actually expended on their support during that period Ten Thousand ollars more than has been received from the Island from all sources. In view of this tact, may we not reasonably expect in the future the con- tinued sympathy and more regular aid of the benevulent throughout the Island.
] am, dear sir, Yours respectfully, J. Scort Hurrox. Institution for the Deaf and Dumb Halifax, N. S., Sept. 27, ’87.
