CHAPTER XXIX. (Continued. )

Meanwhile the two sisters, pressed as close to each other as two flowers on the same stalk, sat with their arms reciprocally passed over each cther’s shoulder, as if they feared some new and unforeseen cause of coldness was about to separate them, and interrupt the sister-like harmony which had been but just restored. Norna sat opposite to them, some- times revolving the large parchment volume with which they had found ter employed at their entrance, and sometimes gazing on the sisters, with a fixed look, in which an _ inter- est of a kind unusually tender, seemed occasionally to disturb the stern and rigorous solemnity of her countenance, all was still and silent as death, and the subsiding motions of Brenda had not yet permitted her to wonder whether the remaining hours of the evening were tv be passed in the same manner, when the scene of tranquility was suddenly inter- rupted by the entrance of the dwarf Pacolet, or, at the Udaller called him, Nicholas Strumpfer.

Norna darted an angry glance on the in- truder, who seemed to deprecate her resent- ment »y holding up his hands and uttering a babbling sound; then instantly resorting to his usual mode of conversation, he expressed himself by a variety of signs made rapidly upor his fingers, and as rapidly answered by his mistress, so that the young woman, who had never heard of such an art, and now saw it practiced by two beings so singular, almost conce\ved their mutual intelligence the work of enchantment. When they had ceased their intercourse, Norna turned to Magnus Troil with much haughtiness, and said, ** How, my kinsman ! have you so far forgot yourself, as to bring earthly food into the house of the Reimkennar, and make prepatations in the dwelling of Power and of Despair, for refec- tion, and wassail, and revelry ?~-Speak not— answer not,” she said; ‘‘the duration of the cure which was wrought even now, depends on your silence and obedience—bandy but a single look or word with me, and the latter condition of that maiden shall be worse than the uirst !”

This threat was an effectual charm upon the tongue of the Udaller, though he longed to in- dulge it in vindication of his conduct.

‘“*Pollow me, all of you,” said Norna, striding to the door of the apartment, ‘‘ and see taat no one looks backwards—we leave not this apartment empty, though we, the children of mortality, be removed from it.”

She went out, and the ‘Udaller signed to his daughters to follow, and to obey her injunctions. The sibyl moved swifter than her guests down the rude descent, (such it might rather be termed, than a proper stair- case,) which led to the lower apartment. Magnus and his daughters, when they en- tered the chamber, found their own attend- ants aghast at the presence and proceedings of Norna of the Fitfai-bead.

They had been previously employed in arranging the provisions which they had brought along with them, so as to present a comfortable cold meal, as soon as the appetite of the Udaller, which was as regular as the turn of tide, should induce him to desire sozse refreshment ; and now they stood star- ing in fear and surprise, while Norna, seiz- ing upon one article after another, and well supported by the zea'ous activity of Pacolet, \filung their whole preparations out of the rude aperture which served for a window, andover the cliff, from which the ancient Burgh arose, into the ocean. which raged the foam beneath. Vifda, (dried beef,) hams and pickled pork, flew after each other in empty space, smoked geese were restored to the air and cured fish tu,the sea, their native ele- ments indeed, but whcih they were no longer

¢| capable of traversing; and the devastation pro-

ceeded so rapidly, that the Udaller could scarce sezure from the wreck his silver drink- ing cup; while tne large leathern flask of brandy, which was destined to supply his favorite beverage, was sent to follow the rest of the supper, by the hands of Pacolet, who _ regarded, at the same time the disappointed Udaller with a mali- cious grin, as if, notwithstanding his own natural taste for the liquor, he enjoyed the disaypointment and surprise of Magnus Troil still more than he would have relished sharing his enjoyment.

The destruction of the brandy flask exhaust- ed the patience of Magnus, who roared out, ina tone of no small displeasure, ‘* Why, kinswoman, this is wasteful madness—where, and on what, would you have us sup?”

‘* Where you will,” answered Norna, ‘and on what you will—but not in my dwelling, and not on the food with which you have eet it. Vex my spirit no more, but yegone every one of you? You have been here too long for my good, perhaps for your own.

** How, kinswoman,” said Magnus, ** would you make outcasts of us at this time of night, wren even a Scotchman would not turn a stranger from the door ?—Bethink you, dame, it is shame on our lineage for ever, if this squall of yours should force us to slip cables, aud go to sea so scantily provided.”

** Be silent, and depart,” said Norna; “‘let it suffice you have got that for which you came. I have no harborage for mortal guests, no pro- vision to relieve human wants. There is be- neath the cliff, a beach of the finest sand, a siream of water as pure as the well of Kildin- guie, and the rocks bear dulse as wholesme as that of Guiodin; and well you wot, that tae well of Kildinguie and the dulse of Guio- din will cure all maladies save Black Death.”

‘* And well I wot,” said the Udaller, ** that I would eat corrupted sea-weed, like a star- ling, or salted seal’s flesh, like the men of burraforth, or wilks, buckies and lampits, lke the poor sneaks of Stroma, rather than break wheat bread and drink red wine in @ house where it is begrudged me. And yet,” he said, checking himself, ‘‘ I am wrong, very wrong, my cousin, to speak thus to you, and J should rather thank you for what you have done, than upbraid you for following your own ways. But I see you are impatient—we will be all under way presently. And you, ye knaves,” addressing his servants, “* that were iu such hurry with your service before it was lacked, get out of doors with you poe: and manage to catch the ponies; for I see we must make for ancther harbor to-night, if we would not sleep with an empty stomach, and on @ hard bed.”

VOL, 22.—NO. 52.

A Continental Custems’ Union.

(Monetary Times.)

Mr. Townsend, of the United States House of Representatives, has outbid Mr. Butterworth in the Commercial Union mar- ket. He has *‘ gone one better,” made a higher bid: and if there be any dealings in Commercial Union, Mr. Townsend will carry off the laurels. He propounds a scheme of Customs’ Union, embracing not only the United States and Canada, as Mr. Butterworth dves, but also Mexico, Central and South America, including the empire of Brazil. This is a scheme of continental free trade with a tariff wail agsinst the rest of the world. To unrestricted free trade he would adda common system of silver coinage, under which the depreciated silver coinage of the United States might be palined off on the whole continent at pro- bably twenty per cant. above its real value, that being about the rate at which it circu- lates—or refuses to circulate—in the Re- public. In the whole programme there is only one proposal that could possibly be accepted, «ud it is fora common system of weights and measures.

To bring about continental free trade with increased restriction against the rest of the world, Mr. Townsend’s bill provides for a Continental Congress, to meet at Washington, March 2, 1839; each foreign country to have one vote ; the United States to have one vote for each State. Besides all this, steps'are to be taken to encourage the establishment of regular and frequent lines of communication between the differ- ent countries embraced in the Customs’ Union. This is to be effected by the modi- fication of navigation and maritime laws, especially against Great Britain, of course. The framing of a tariff against the rest of the world is to engage the atiention.of the continental congress; and it follows that the present congress at Washington, as well as the legislatures of all other countries in America, would have to *‘ take back seats,” Each country is to give the tariff-making power toa single individual, except the United States, and she is to have more votes than all the others combined. Patent rights, copyright, trade marks, are all to be decided upon by the Continent Congress, in which the United States would have an absolute majority of votes. It is impossible sufficiently to admire the beautiful simpli- city of the plan. We must pause to take breath.

Mr. Butterworth will have to look to his laurels, But perhaps he may find it possi- ble to make another bid. His rival has not left much, if anything, that can be used as a basis of *‘ going ons better,” But if he would not be left hoplessly be-

yhind, and out of sight and mind. Mr.

Butterworth must do something. Now is the accepted time ; it is the last chance. 5 since tiiaahiiaeaidiaip

The Steamers of the World.

Recent statistics show that the number of steamers existing in the world in 1886 was estimated at 9,969, of an aggregate burden of 10,531,843 tons. In the previous year the number was stated at 9,642, of an aggregate burden of 10,291,241 tons. The world’s steam shipping in 1886 was thus distributed :—Iron steamers, 8,198, of an aggregate burden of 8,911,406 tons ; steel steamers, 770, of an aggregate burden of 32,820 tons, and wooden steamers, 622, of an aggregate burden of 380,655 tons. Of the steamers afloat in 1885, 5,792 were owned in the United Kingdom and its colonies, their aggregate burden being 6,595,871 tons. The other countries of the world owned steamers in the following order : Germany, 579 ; France, 509 ; Spain, 401 ; the United States, 400 ; Norway, 287; Russia, 212 ; Denmark, 200; Italy, 173; Holland, 152; Brazil, 141; Japan, 106 ; Greece and Turkey, 82 each ; Belgium, 68 ; Chili and the Argentine Republic, 43 each ; China and Portugal, 27 each ; Hawaii, 21 ; Mexico, 15, and miscellaneous, 50. From the above figures it appears that, notwith- standing the great depression {prevailing in the steam shipping trade, the number of steamers afloat last year increased to the extent of 327 as compared with 1885.— Pali Mall Gazette.

I Llectricity as a Motive Power.

Engineers are evidently coming to regard electricity as the motive power of the future, Mr. Keefer, in an address before the Canadian society of Montreal, referred to this among other interesting subjects, and drew attention to the progress Canada has made in the utilization of the new light. A Canadian city, Montreal, was the first to adcpt it 1or illuminating its harbors, while Ottawa was one of the first to light its streets throughout with electricity. Since then rapid progress had been made all over the Dominion, and almost every week we hear some new town following the example thus set. There are now, it is estimated, 3,000 arc and 15,000 incandescent lights in use, with the number being constantly added to, and something like $2,000,000 is invested in the plant. Tuis, however, is not the ouly use to which this wonderful power may be put. Already it is being developed as a mechanical force, and there seems nothing to be dis- credited in Mr. Keefer’s anticipation of the possibility of it becoming economically the cheapest of all sources of power, and as uni- versal in application as the sun iteelf.

He Thought She Wanted Cocea.

His line of business was groceries, but he had a soul for music, and he went to spend the evening at the Tivoli. He had been very tired before ‘‘ The Mikado” began and fell into a gentle slumber. The young lady and her escort sitting near him were deeply interested in the opera, The young lady had seen it, the escort had net. When the Lord High Executioner came on, the escort asked the young lady :

** Who's that?”

** Ko-Ko,” she said.

** How much, ma’am /” said the grocery man, suddenly waking up.

He had to move to another seat.
