CHAPTER XXIV. ( Continued.)

But here Swertha reminded the Ranzelman that he must go down to the haven to get off the fishing-boats; ‘‘For both that my heart is sair for the bonny lad, and that I am fear'd he cast up of his ain accord before you are at sea; and, as I have often told ye, my master may lead, but he winna drive ; and if ye do not do his bidding, and get out to sea, the never a bodle of boat hire will ye see.” “Weel, good dame,” said the Ranzelman, ** we will lanch as fast as we can; and by good luck, neither Clawson’s boat, nor Peter Grot’s is out to the Haaf this morning, for a rabbit ran across the path as they were going on board, and they came back like wise men, kenning they wad be called to other wark this day. Anda marvel it is to think, Swer- tha, how few real judicious men are left in this land. There is our great Udaller is weel eneugh when he is fresh, but he makes ower mony voyages in his ship and his yawl to be lang sae; and now, they say, his daughter, Mistress Minna, is sair out of sorts. en there is Norna kens muckle mair than other folk, but wise woman ye cannot call her. Our here, Maister Mertoun, his wit is sprung in the bowsprit, I doubt—his son is a daft gowk; and I ken a few of co uence hereabouts—excepting always myself, and maybe you. Swertha—but vehi may, in some sense or other, be called fules.”

**Vhat may be, Nicl Ronaldson,” said the dame; “ but if you do not hasten the taster to the shore, you will lose tide; and, as I said to my master some short time syne, wha will be the fale then!”

The ruinous church of Saint Ninian had, in its time, enjoyed great celebrity; for that mighty system of Roman superstition, which ional its roots over all Europe, had not fail- ed to extend themselves to this remote archi- pelago, and Zetland had, in the Catholic times, her saints, her shrines, aud her relics, which, though little known elsewhere, at- tracted the homage, and commanded the ob- servence, of the simple inhabitants of Thule. Thei: devotion to this church of St. Ninian, or, as he was provincially termed, St. Ringan, situated, as the edifice was, close to the sea- beach, and serving, in many peints, as a landmark to their boats, was par- ticularly obstinate, and was connected with so much superstitious ceremonial and credulity, that the reformed clergy thought it best, by an order of the Church Courts, to prohibit all spiritual service within its walls, as tendin to foster the rooted faith of the simple cat rude people around in saint-worship, and other erroneous doctrines of the mish Church.

After the church of Saint Ninian had been thus denounced as aseatof idolatry, and desecrated of course, the public worship was transferred to another church; and the roof, with its lead and its rafters, having been stripped from the little rude old Gothic building, it was left in the wilderness to the mercy of the elements. The fury of the un- controlled winds, which howled along an ex- posed , resembling that which we have described at Jarlshof, very soon choked up nave and aisle, and, on the north-west side, which was chiefly exposed to the wind, hid the outside walls more than half way up with mounds of drifted sand, over which the gable- ends of the building, with the little belfry, which was built above its eastern angle, arose in ragged and shattered nakedness of ruin. Yet, deserted as it was, the Kirk of Saint Ringan still retained some resemblance of the ancient homage formerly rendered there. The rude and ignorant fishermen of Dunross ness observed a practice, of which they them- selves had well-nigh forgotten the etal and from which the Protestant Cle in vain endeavored to detain them. hen their boats were in extreme peril, it was common amongst them to pro to vow an avmous, as they termed it, that is, an alms to Saint Ringan ; and when the danger was over, the. never failed to absolve themselves of their vow by coming singly and secretly to the old church, and putting off their shoes and stock- ings at the entrance of the churchyard, walk- ingthrice around the ruins, observing that they did so in the course of the sun. When the circuit was accomplished forthe third time, the votary dropped his offering, usually a small silver coin, through the mullions of a lanceolated window, which opened into a side aisle, and then retired, avoiding carefully to look behind him till he was nena the pre- cincts which had once been hallowed ground ; for it was believed that the skeleton of the saint received the offering in his bony hand, and showed his ghastly death’s head at the window into which it was thrown.

(To be continued.)
