( Continued. ) Atlength the two sisters at once started from sleep, and, uttering a low scream of few, clasped themselves in each other's armas. For their fancy had not altogether played thei false ; the sounds, which had suggested their dreams, were real, and sung within their apartment. ‘hey knew the voice well, in- deed, and yet, knowing to whom it belonge:t, their surprise and fear were scarce the less, when they saw the well-known Nora of Fittuf- head, seated by the chimney of the apart- tained an iron lamp welltrimmed, and, tn winter, a fire of wood or of turf. : She was wrapped in her long and ampie garment of wadmaal, and moved her body lamp, as she sunglines to the following pur- port, in a slow, sad, almost an unearthly a¢- cent : — ee For Thro The billows know my Runic lay,— And smooth their crests to silent green. ues along the watery way, “The billows know my Runic lay,— ; The gulf grows smooth, the stream is still ; But human hearts, more wild than they, Know but the rule of wayward will. **One hour is mine, in all the year, To tell my woes,—and one alone; When gleams this magic lamp, ’tis here,— When dies the mystic light, ’tis gone. “Daughters of northern Magnus, hail! The lamp is lit, the flame is clear,— To you, I come to tell my tale, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, L887. ment, which, during the summer season, ¢0%- | slowly to and fro over the pale flame of tle_ “ This is true Liberty, when Free Born Men, having to advise the Public, may speak free.”— Hunreipes.

See, it waxes dim and dimmer, nér must my tale last longer than its flame en- ;(lureth. Sit ye down there, while I sit here opposite to you, and place the lamp betwixt ) US 5 for within the sphere of its light the 'demon dares not venture.” The sisters obeyed, Minna casting a slow, ; awe-struck yet determined look all around, as ‘it tosee the Being who, wecording to the doubtful words of Norna, hovered in their neighborhood; while Brenda’s fears were mingled with some share both of anger and of impatience. Norna paid no attention to either, but began her story in the following words ;— ‘*Ye know, my daughters, that your blood is allied to mine, but in what degree ye know not; for there was early hostility betwixt your | grandsire and him who had the misfortune to cali me daughter. Let me term him by his Christian name of Erland.for that which marks ‘our'relation I dare not bestow. Your grandsive , Clave was the brother of Erlnad, But when the | wide Udal “possessions of their father Rolfe Troil, the most rich and well estated of any who descended from the old Norse stock, were divided betwixt the brothers, the Fowd gave to Erland his father’s lands in Orkney, and re- ; Served for Olave those of Hialtland. Discord gulf and stream my course has been’ | arose hetween the brethren; for Erland held that he was wronged; and when the Latwing, with the Raddmen and Lawright men, con. firmed the division, he went in wrath to Ork- ney, cursing HialtiandZand its inhabitants— cursing his brother and his blood, (To he continued, ) Lot 65 Notes. The farmers of this locality are busy hauling their produce. Awake, arise, my tale to hear!” Norna was well known to the daughters of’ Troil, but it was not without emotion, : and at such an hour. Their opinions with respect to the supernatural attributes to which she pretended, were extremely different. tion, although superior in talent to her sister, was more apt to listen to, and delight in, every tale of wonder, and was at all times willing to admit impressions which gave ber fancy scope and exercise without minutely examining their reality. Brenda on_ the other hand, had, in her gaiety, a wee propensity to satire, and was often tempted to laugh at the very circumstances upon which Minna founded her imaginative dreams ; and, like all who love the ludicrous, she did not readily suffer herself to be imposed upon, or overawed, by pompous pretensions of any kind whatever. But,as her nerves were weak- er and more irritable than those of her sister, she often paid involuntary hemage, by her fears, to ideas which her reason disowned ; and hence, Ciaad Halcro used to say, in reference to many of the traditionary super- lieved them without trembling, and that Brenda trembled without believing them. our own more enlightened days, there are few whose undoubting mind and native coyrage have not felt Minna’s high-wrought tone of enthusiasm ; and perhaps still fewer who have not, at one time or other, felt, like Brenda, their nerves confess the influence of terrors which their reason disowned and despised. Under the dower of such different feelings, Minna, when the first momentof surprise was over, prepared to spring from her bed and go to greet Norna, who, she doubted not, had come on some errand fraught with fate; while Brenda, who only beheld in her a woman partially derang- ed in her understanding, and who yet, from the extravagance of her claims, regarded her a3 an undefined object of awe,or rather terror, : detained her sister by an eager and_ terrified grasp, while she whispered in her ear an anXious entreaty that she would call for as- sistance. But the soul of Minna was too highly wrought up by the crisis at which her fate seemed to have arrived, to permit her to follow the dictates of her sister's fears ; end, extricating herself from Brenda’s hold, she hastily threw on a loose night-gown, and, stepping boldly across the apartment, while her heart throbbed rather with high excite- ment than with fear, she thus addiessed her singular visitor : ‘** Noina, if your mission regards us, as your words seem to express, there is one of us, at enze, but without fear.” ‘* Norna, dear Norna,” said the tremulous voice of Brenda,—who, feeling no safety in the bed after Minna guitted it, had followed her, as fugitives crowd into the rear of an ad- vancing army, because they dare not remain behind, and who now stood half concealed by her gown,—*‘ Norna, dear Norna,” said she, ‘‘whatever you are to say, let it be to-mor- row. I will call Euphane Fea, the house- keeper, and she will find you a bed for the night.” ‘*No bed for me!” said their nocturnal visitor ; ‘‘ no closing of the eyes for me ! They have watched as shelf and stack appeared and disappeared betwixt Burgh-Westra and Orkney—they have seen the Man of Hoy sink into the sea, and the Peak of Hengcelift arise slumber ; nor must they slamber now till my task is ended: Sit down, there, Minna, and thou, silly trembler, sit down while I trim my lamp—Don your clothes, for the tale is long, and ere 'tis done, ye will shiver with worse than cold.” ‘** For Heaven's sake, then, put it off till daylight, dear Norna!” said Brenda ; ‘‘ the dawn is not far distant, and if you are to teil us of anything frightful, let it be by daylight, and not by the dim glimmer of that blue light !” ma Patience, fool!” said their uninvited guest. ‘* Not by daylight should Norna tell a tale that might blot the sun out of heaven, and blight the hopes of the hundred boats that will leave this shore ere noon, to com- mence their deep-sea fishing,—ay, and of the hundred families that will await their return. : The demon, whom the sounds will not fail to. awaken, must? shake his dark wings. over a shipless and a boatless sea, as he rushes: from his mountain to drink the accents of horror he loves so well to listen to.” i ‘* Have pity on Brenda’s fears, good Norna,” said the elder sister, ‘‘ and at least postpone this frightful communication to another place and hour.” ** Maiden, no!” replied Norna, sternly ; “‘it must be told while iat lanrp yet Purns.

One of the best of the season took place at Mr. S. McDougall’s on Wednesday night.

Americans in Canada. (Montreal Star.) There are, proportionately, more Ameri- cans in Canada, than there are Canadians in the United States.” According to the ceusus of 188i, the population of the Dominion -in 1880 was 4,324,813. Out of these there were 77,753 returned as having been burn in the United States, or, in other words, Americans. This gave us at that time, nearly one American to every fifty-six of our population. But sappose we say that there are now 5,000,000 souls in the Dominion. That is the calculation generally inade, and it is, probably, near the mark. And let us suppose that the Americans have increased only a few hundreds, and that they now number no more than 80,000 ‘all told. This would give us one American ‘to every sixty-three Canadians now in Canada. And then let us turn tothe other side of the picture. There are say , 60,000,000 souls in the United States. Of these let us say that there are 800,000 Canadians. Wedo not believe there is least, who will receive its import with rever- any such number, but 800,000 Canadians tand children of Canadians, is what some people claim as living in the Republic. But even dt that figure we would have one Canadian to every seventy-five of the population in the United States. Score another for the Dominion ! AE AR i The Proposed Marine Congress. The disaster tothe steamer Scholten, in the English channel, involving the loss of upwards of a hundred lives, emphasizes the proposal of the New York Maritime | Association that a conference of representa- ‘tives of maritime powers should be held ‘with a view to concerting measures for the ‘saving of life and property on the high seas. Regulating the number of passengers that may be carried by emigrant steamers, ‘and compelling them to be equipped with « sutticiency of life-saving apparatus for the ‘maximum number of passengers that may j be carried, are matters that would properly engage the attention of such a Congress ‘The importance of international legislation being secured to cover such contingencies can be readily understood, in view of the fact that the life-saving apparatus of the ‘Scholten was either markedly defective or 'was practically unavailable when the | critical’ moment arrived for it to be put in ,use. As it was with the Scholten, so it is (a too many other vessels particularly the ‘** ocean tramps,” which carry passengers ‘across the Atlantic and indeed all over the | world. ote **Apamson’s Boranic Coven BaLsamM— | seems to give universal satisfaction, both as to j;quality and price.
