THE PIRATE.
* By Sir Walter Scott.
CHAPTER XXXVIL. (Continued )
‘‘One word more,” said Minna, ‘‘and I obey you. Tell me but if I have caught aright your meaning—is Mordaunt Mertoun safe and recovered ?”’
** Recovered, and safe,” said Norna, ‘‘ else woe to the hand that shed his blood !”
Minna slowly sought the door of the Cathe- dral, and turned back from time to time to look at the shadowy form of Norna, and the stately and military figure of Cleveland, as they stood together in the deepening gloom of the ancient Cathedral. When she looked back a second time, they were in motion and Cleveland followed the matron, as, with a slow and solemn step, she glided towards one of the side aisles. When Minna looked back a third time their figures were no longer visible. She collected herself, and walked on to the eastern door by which she had entered, and listened for an instant to the guards, who talked together on the outside.
“‘The Zetiand girl stays along time with this pirate fellow,” said one. ‘‘I wish they have not more to speak about than the ransom of her father.”
“Ay, truly,” answered another, ‘‘ the wenches will have more. sympathy with a handsome young pirate, than an old bed-ridden burgher.”
Their discourse was here interrnpted by her of whom they were speaking ; and, as if taken in the manner, they pulled off their nats,made their awkard obeisancos, and looked not a little embarrassed and confused.
Minna returned to the house where she lodged, much affected, yet, on the whole, pleased with the result of her expedition, which seemed to put her father out of danger, and assured her at once of the escape of Cleveland, and of the safety of young Mor- daunt. She hastened to communicate both pieces of intelligence to Brenda, who jvined her in thankfulness to Heaven, and was her- self well-nigh persuaded to believe in Norna’s supernatural pretensions, so much was she pleased with the manner in which they had been employed. Some time was spent in exchanging their mutual congratulations, and mingied with tears of hope, mixed with apprehension ; when, ata late hour in the evening, they were interrupted by Claud Halcro, who, fult of a fidgetting sort of import-
acquaint them, that the prisoner, Cleveland, had disappeared from the Cathedral, in which he ha@ been permitted to walk, and that. the Provost, having been informed that Minna was accessory to his flight, was coming, in a mighty quandry, to make enquiry into the circumstances.
When the worthy Magistrate arrived, Minna did not conceal from him her own wish that Cleveland should make his escape, as the only means which she saw of redeeming her father from imminent danger. But that she had any actual accession to his flight, she positively denied ; and stated, ‘‘ That she had parted from Cleveland in the Cathedral, more than two hours since, and then left him in company with a third person, whose name she did not conceive herself obliged to communi- cate.”
‘“‘It is not needful, Miss Minna Troil,” answered Provost Torfe ; ‘‘ for, although no person but this Captain Cleveland and your- self was seen to enter the Kirk of Saint Magnus this day, we know well enough your cousin, old Ulla Troil, whom you Zetlanders call Norna of the Fitful-head, has been cruising up and down, upon sea and land and air, for what I know, in boats and on ponies, and lt may be on broomsticks ; and here has been her dumb Drow, too, coming and going, and playing the spy on every one —and a good spy he is, for he can hear every- thing, and tells nothing again, unless to his mistress. And we know, besides, that she can enter the Kirk whenall the doors are fast, and has been seen there more than once, God save us fromthe Evil One !—and so, without farther questions asked, 1 conclude it was old Norna whom you left inthe Kirk with this slashing blade—and, if so, they may catch them again that can. 1 cannot but say, however, pretty Mistress Minna, that you Zetland folks seem to furget both law and gospel, when you use the help of witchcraft to fetch delinquents ovt of a legal prison ; and the least that you, or your cousin, or your father, can do, is to use influence with this wild fellow to go away as soon as possible, without hurting the town or trade, and then there will be little harm in what has chanced ; for, Heaven knows, I did not seek the poor lad’s life, sol could get my hands free of him without biame ; and far less did I wish that, through his imprisonment, any harm shoald come to worthy Magnus Troil of Burgh-Westra.”
**{ see where the shoe pinches 7, Mr. Provost,” said Claud Halcro, “‘ and I am sure I can answer for my friend Mr. Troil, as well as for myself, that we will say and do all in our power with this man, Captain Cleveland, to make him leave the coaat directly.”
‘And I,” said Minna, ‘‘am so convinced that what you recommend is best for all par- ties, that my sister and I will set off early to- morrow morning to the House of Stennis, if Mr. Halcro will give us his escort, to receive my father when he comes ashore, that we may acquaint him with your wish, and to use every influence to induce this unhappy man to leave the country.”
Provost Torfe looked upon her with some surprise. “It is not every young woman,” he said, ‘would wish to move eight miles nearer to a band of pirates.” ,
‘* We run no risk,” sald Claud Halcro, in- terfering. ‘The house of Stennis is strong; and my cousin, whom it belongs to, has men and arms withinit. The young ladies are as safe there asin Kirkwall; and much good may arise from an early communication be- tween Magnus Troil and his daughters. And happy am I tw see that in your case, my good old friend—as glorious John says,—
—— After much debate, The man prevails above the magistrate,’”
The Provost smiled, nodded his head, and indicated, as far as he thought he could do so with decency, how happy he should be if the Fortune’s Favorite and her disorderly crew would leave Orkney without farther inter- ference or violence on either side. He eould not authorize their being supplied from the shore, he said; but, either for fear or favor,

ance, not unmingled with fear, came to|P
ness. This pacific magistrate then took leave of Halcro and the two ladies, who proposed, the next morning, to transfer their residence to the House of Stennis, situated upon the banks of the salt-water lake of the same name, and about four miles by water from the Road of Stromness, where the Rover's vessel was lying.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Desired Information.
Sir,—A correspondent ‘in your issue of last evening questions Hypnotism and Spiritualism beimg synonymous, in refer- ence to the denunciation of the Belgian Academy of Medicine. His notional definition of Spiritualism is _ incorrect. ‘* That decarnated man survives the tomb, and, as a spirit, can revisit the earth,” is maintained by aJjl Christendom. It is wherein they differ from Christendom that gives them the name, maintaining as they do that spirits cannot communicate with earthexceptthrouhh animal magnetism. The absurd belief that the phenomena of animal magnetism is connected with and is caused by disembodied spirits is what gives the name to this creed, of Spiritualism. He says, ‘*‘ Hypnotism is an acute form of mes- merism.” This proves your words true, for Spiritualism is an acute ferm of mes- merism, and things equal to the same, are the same. The great Spiritualist. book, ‘* The Seers of Ages,” page 193-4, refer- ring to one of their modern ringleaders, A. J. Davis, says, ‘“‘ Examining into the merits of mesmerism, he fell into trance conditions and became a medium, and wrote books dictated by spirits.” Worcee- ter’s dictionary defines Hypnotism :3 ‘a magnetic sleep, somnambulism.” The great Spiritualist leader, A. J. Davis, re‘erred to, in his ‘Great Harmonia,” says, ** this mysterious and mediatroie! element be- tween mind and mind, the magnetic fluid,” p. 10; ‘‘ that magnetic spiritual principle,” 63; ** the process of spiritualization is by magnetism,” 68; ‘‘ Magnetism the purest, highest, and master of all terrestrial ele- ments,” 89; *‘ The higher elevated condi- tion, caused by spiritual galvanic action, frequent manipulations, Animal Magnetism, is somnambulism, having pretracted visions and trances,” i91-6; the terms ‘* mesmer- ism, magnetism, pathetism, somnambulism, sympathy, clairvovance, extasis, Wc., re- resent states of spiritualism,” p. 197. Gerald Massey, a noted Spiritualist, in his book, says, ‘* Mediums are so constituted that spirits can magnetize them, and take possession of their physical organism, make
-use of their nervous system, speak with
their tongues, and become for the time the directing souls for their bodies.” Leo Miller, a champion Spiritualist in a public discussion, page 153, after admitting the supreme influence of magnetism as usual, says, ‘‘Mesmerism came first, then clairvoyance, paving the way for the higher law of spirit manifestation.” Judge Edmonds, Dr. Dexter, and Tall- madge, Governor of Wisconsin, Spiritual- ists, give only the phenomena in their book and’call it ‘‘ Spiritualism.” W. Brookes, F. R. S., refers to ** Spiritualism” as only a force and phenomena, styling one of his books, ‘‘ Psychic Force and Modern Spirit- ualism,” and another, ‘** The Phenomena called Spiritualism.” Principal Mahan, D. D., of Oberlin University, Ohio, entitles his book exposing it, ‘* The Phenomena of Spiritualism Scientificably explained and exposed.” The North British Review, Vol, 29, No. 1, page 74 explains Spiritual- isin as ‘* Mesmeric, electro-biological, or Hypnotic ;” and in No. 2, Art. VI, shows that Odylic force, Mesmerism, Hypnotism and Spiritualism are one and the same. The telegram proves that the Belgian Academy of Medicine, had Spiritualism and its phenomena only in view, and thus clearly shows their meaning of Hypnotism, because the theory and practice of it are dangerous to morals and health. How to morals— simple magnetism doesn’t hurt morals, be- cause the earth, air and sky are full of it, and were even during the innocence of Eden? The theory which ascribes the erring dictates of stools, tables, and fallible mediums magnetized and controlled by erring wills of sinners in the flesh, sur- rounding and forming the circle or scance ; —to be inspiration from heaven tu be be- lieved in all that it would erroneously and falsely charge neighbors with, and to be implicitly followed in all its unsound teach- ing as rules of conduct to be observed, would be dangerous to morals, individual- ly or collectively. That the Academy of Medicine was correct as to the practice of the phenomena of Spiritualism, and not of the use of magnets, the disorganized minds and the disordered bodies of lunatic asy- lums and hospitals in the United States at the time of the Salem Witches or now, abundantly testify.
But suppose, for sake of argument, that ‘Hypnotism is only an acute form of Mesmerism,” and that Spiritualist pheno- mena is far more acute still, and, as A. J. Davis says, requires frequent magnetic mesmeric manipulations, this would make matters very much worse for Spiritualism than even the telegram expresses.”
Yours as ever, S. G. Lawson.
