CHAPTER XX. (Continued. )

** Alas, my sister!” said Brenda, “ it is now that I must in earnest begin to believe the torce of spelis and charms. You remember the Span- ish story which you took from me long since, because I said, in your admiration of the chivalry of the olden times of Sandinavia, you rivalled the extravagance of the hero. Ah! Minna! your color shows that your conscience checks you, and reminds you of the book I mean;—is it more wise, think you, to mistake a windmill for a giant, or the commander of a paltry corsair for Kiempe, or a Vi-king!”’ Minna did indeed color with anger at this insinuation, of which, perhaps, she felt in some degree the truth.

‘** You have the right,” she said, ‘* to insult me because you are possessed of my secret.” Brenda's soft heart could not resist this charge of unkindness, she adjured her sister +o pardon her, and the natural gentleness of Minna’s feelings could not resist her entreat- ies, ‘* We are unhappy,” she said, as she dried her sister's tears, ‘‘ that we cannot see with the same eyes—let us not make each other more so by mutual insult and unkindness. You hay. my secret. it will not, perhaps, long be one, for my father shall have the con- fidence to which he is entitled, so soon as cer- tain circumstances will permit me to offer it. Meantime, I repeat, you have my secret, and I more the»: suspect that I have yours in ext change, though you refuse t> own it.”

** How, Minna,” said Brenda; ‘‘ would you have me acknowledge for any own such feel- ings as you allude to, ere he has said the least word that could justify sueh a confession !” ‘*Surely not; but a hidden fire may be dis- tinguished by heat as well as flame.”

‘*You understand these signs, Minna,” said Brenda, hanging down her head, and in vain endeavoring to suppress the temptation to re- partee which her sister's remark offered; ‘‘ but I can only say, that, if ever I love at all, it shall not be until I have been asked to do so ence or twice at least, which has not yet chanced to me. But no not let us renew our quarrel, and rather let us think why Norna should have told us that horrible tale, and to what she expects it should lead.”

‘* It must have been as a caution,” replied Minna—‘‘ a caution which our situation, and, I will not deny it, which mine in particular, might seem to her to call for ;—but I am alike strong in my own innocence, and in the honor of Cleveland.”

Brenda would fain have replied, that she did not confide so absolutely in the latter { security as in the first ;—but sne was prudent; and, forbearing to awake the former painful discussion, only replied, ‘‘ It is strange that Norna should have said nothing more of her lover. Surely he could not desert her in the extremity ot misery to which he had reduced her?”

**There may be agonies of distress,” said Minna, after a pause, ‘‘in which the mind is so much jarred that it ceases to be responsive even to the feelings which have most engross- ed it ;—her sorrow for her lover may have been swallowed up in horror and despair.”

‘* Or he may have fled from the islands, in fear of her father’s vengeance,” said Brenda.

‘“Tf for fear, or faintness of heart,” said Minna, looking upwards, ‘‘ he was capable of flying from the ruin which he had occasioned, I trust he bas long ere this sustained the punishment which Heaven reserves for the most base and dastardly of traitors and of cowards.—Come, sister,we are ere this expect- ed at she breakfast board.”

And they went thither, arm in arm, with much more of confidence than had lately subsisted between them; the little quarrel which had taken place having served the pur- pose of a bourasque, or suddens squall, which dispels mists and vapours, and leaves fair weather behind it.

On their way to the breakfast apartment, they agreed that it was unnecessary, and might be imprudent, to communicate to their father the circumstance of the nocturnal visit, or to let him observe that they now knew ‘more than formerly of the melancholy history of Norna.

That Incorrigible Diocese. The diocese comprising Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island is suffering for a bishop. The clergymen of this district, after mature consideration, have reached the conclusion that they are too contuma- cious to be ruled by any one who could be selected from among themselves. They also doubt the ability of any Canadian te keep them from insubordination. The electoral college, in excess of self-distrust, and after much discussion, voted itself in- capable of so much as choosing a person from all the preachers in the world who should be capable of the task of presiding over that unruly diocese. In their distress they called upon three very high ecclesias- tical dignitaries in England, asking them to search diligently fora man able and willing to undertake the work of subjuga- tion. This was months ago, and though it may be presumed that England has by this time been searched throughout, there is yet

no bishop. Possibly the Nova Seotia churchmen overestimate their own tur- bulence, and underrate the assistance of

the officers of the peace. It might be worth while totry an everyday man of themselves, and see whether, after all, he may not be capable of preserving some- thing like order. Bishop Colenso is said to have had weaknesses, and yet he long held sway among the fiercest of all the untamed warriors on the African coast. The clergy of our sister province do well to be humble. Sut they cannot be much more barbarous than the Zulusof Natal were when the heterodox mathematician assumed his bishopric. — St. John Sun. <li mmm
