By Sir Walter Soott. CHAPTER V. r “aE reader’s impatience will scarce equal that of young Mordaunt Merton, who, while the hghtning came flash after flash, while the wind, veering and shifting from point to point, blew with ali the fury of a hurricane, and while the rain was dashed against him in deluges, stood . hammering, calling, and roar- ing at the door of the old lace of Harfra, im- ceive any position of existing circumstances, which could occasion the exclusion of a stran- ger, especially during such horrible weather. At length, finding his noise and vociferation were equally in vain, he fell back so far from the front of the house as was necessary to enable him to reconnoitre the chimneys ; and amidst ‘* storm and shade,” could discover, to the increase of his disinay, that though noon, then the dinner hour of these islands, was now nearly arrived, there was no smoke pro- ceeding from the tuunels of the vents to give any note of preparation within. Mordaunt's wrathful impatience was now changed into sympathy and alarm ; for. so long aceustomed to the exuberant hospitality of the Ze.land islands, he was immediately induced te suppose some strange and unuac- countable disaster had befallen the family ; place at which he could make forcible entry, in order to ascertuin the. situation of the in- mates, as much as to obtain shelter from the still increasing storm. His present anxiety was, however, as much thrown away as his late clamoreus importuan.ties for admittance had been. Triptolemus and his sister had heard the whole alamn without, and had al- ready had a sharp dispute on the propriety of opening the door. Mra, Baby, as we have described her, was no willing renderer of the rites of hospitality. In their farm of Cauldacres, in the Mearns, she had been the dread and abhorrence of all gaberiunzie men, and travel- ing packmen, gipsies, long remembered beg- gars, and so forth; nor war there one of them so wily, as she used to boast, as could ever say they had heard the clink of her sneck. In Zetland, where the new settlers were yet strangers to the extreme honesty and sim- plicity of all classes, suspicion and fear joined with frugality in her desire to exclude all wandering guests of uncertain character; and the second of these motives had its effect on Triptolemus himself, who, though neither suspicious nor penurious, knew good people | were scarce, good farmers scarcer, and had a reasonable share of that wisdum which looks towards self-preservation as the first law of nature. These hints may serve as a commen- tary on the following dialogue which took place betwixt the brother and sister. ‘‘Now, good be gracious to us,” said Trip- HAY FEVER, STOPS ‘ P ~ fT a LATARRHA | Deepetans te — —!

Lina May was ona voyage from Canso Yo Scatterie, fanning along with a light breeze, when off Louisburg the crew descried ahead something like alog floating on the water. As they drew nearer, and al! eyes were intent- ly fixed on it inthe endeavor te make out what it could be, a gigantic snake-like head rose from it some twe feet above the water, and turning very leisurely round, surveyed with apparent unconcern the approaching ves- sel. Simultaneously the exclamation was heard no every side, ‘‘The sea “ve !” The vessel Vv was headed up for a closer inspection. As she drew nearer the crew watched his snakeship with some trepidation as he turned his head to the front or swung it round longitudinally over his body, seeming- ly viewing their approach with the utmost nonchalance or chuckling with secret satisfac- tior. When about a handred yards from him he suddenly drew his uncanny head within his shell, and slowly betook himself beneath the surface. A new conclusion was reached as promptly as was the first, and his behold- ers believe that therein they have discovered ‘“*the mystery of the sea serpent.” For it was no more nor less than than an enormuus sea turtle! Had they not had such a chance, as seldom falls to the lot of those who see such monsters of the deep and proclaim ‘‘ the sea- serpent seen again,’ of examining him at such close quarters, under such exception- ally favorable circumstances, they-would have been ready to swear that even his snakeship had left the American coast and come down here to join the mackerel in keeping the Queen’s jubilee within the Canadian limits. ~ — ES a iam ——~ Strange, if Truc. A Bethel, N. Y., despatch of the 15th says : — ‘** Two years ago Calvin Stowers, whose wife had been an invalid for several months, was called to her bedside to say farewell. She placed a small iron ring that he had made for the purpose on the third finger of his left hand, to her more from habit than intentioa, no, sooner saw her bleak red nose, keen gray | eyes, with the sharp features thereunto con- forming, shaded by the flaps of the loose toy; which depeaded on each side of her eager face, | than he vethought himself that his query was! likely to find little acceptation from her, and | therefore stood another volley before he would resume the topic. ‘*T say, Mr. Yellowley,” said sister Baby, coming into the middle of the room, ‘ what for are ye crying on me, and me in the midst of my house-wite-skep?” “ Nay, for nothing at all, Baby,” answered Triptolemus, “saving that 1 was saying to myself, that here we had the sea, and the wind, and the rain, sufficient enough, but where's the wood? where’s the wood, Baby, answer me that?” ‘*The wood?” answered Biby—** Were I no to take better care of the wood than you, brother, there woul’ soon be no more wvod about the town than the barbers block that’s on your own shoulders, Triptolemus. If ye be thinking of the wreck wood that the cal- lants brought in yesterday, there was six ounces of it gael to boil your parritch this morning ; though, | trow, a carefu’ man wad have ta’en dramumnck, if breakfast he behov- ed to have, rather than waste baith meltith and fuel in the same morning.” ‘*That is to say, Baby,” replied Triptole- mus, who was somewhat of a dry joker in his way, ‘‘ that when we have fire we are not to have food, and when we have food we are not to have fire, these two great blessings to en- joy both in the same day. Good luck, you do not propose we should starve with cold and starve with hunger unico contextu. you the truth, ] could never away with raw oatmeal, slackened with water, in all my life. Call it drammock, or crowdie, or just what ye list, my vivers must thole fire and water.” “The mair gowk you,” said Baby; “can ye not make your brose on the Sunday, and sup them cauld on the Monday, since ye’re sae danty? Mony is the fairer face than yours that has licked the lip after such a cogfu’.” ‘‘Mercy on us, sister !” said Triptolemus; “at this rate, it’s a finished field with me—l must unyoke the pleugh, and lie down to wait for the deadthraw. Here is that in this house wad hold all Zetland in meai for a twelve- month, and ye grudge a cogfu’ of warm par- ritch to me, that has sic a charge ay “Whisht — hold your silly clavering tongue,” said Baby, looking round with appre- hension—‘‘ye are a wise man to speak of what isin the house, and a fitting man to have charge of ét.—Hark, as I live by bread, I hear a tapping at the outer yett!” “Go and open it then, Baby,” said her and he registered an oath that he would never marry again. Then she died contentedly, saying that if he broke his word she would haunt and ruin his life. On Tuesday he was. married to Emma Beckel, to whom he was engaged before his marriage. The bride took the ring from his finger, saying that it was superstituous to regard a wish so selfish. Within two hours the bridegroom's left side was paralized, strangely enough beginning at the finger that had worn the fatal ring. The ring could not be restored to its place, being much too smali, wherere it had before been amply large. The bridegroom is_ terror- stricken, and has lost interest in his young wife, + - g A Breach of Faith. In reference to the Behring sea seizures of last season, it has transpired that a serious breach of faith has occurred through the ignurance of the American authorities at Sitka. It appears that Secretary Bay- ard, on receipt of the report of his officers at Sitka, stating the grounds on which the Canadian vessels had been condemned, at once telegraphed ordering the restoration of the vessels and skins to their owners, and also informed the British mivister of his having done so. The magistrate at Sitke, on receipt of the telegram from Secretary Bayard ordered his marshal to carry out out the order, but before it was affected withdrew the order on the alleged ground that the telegram might not be authentic. But to tell} He denied having received any further in- structions from Washington and refused to act on Bayard’s telegram. It is believed here that this matter will be made the sub- ject af an immediate report by the Minss- ter of Marine. Sporting Notes. A Lincoln, Neb., man proposes to en- close the base ball grounds with brick walls 30 feet high, cover them with an arched dome of heavy plate glass, and have ball games during the winter. A cycler who has returned to his home in Maplewood, N. J,, after a trip through Europe and Africa on his tricycle, says he covered 12,000 miles at an expense of $200. At the great $5,000 match between Patron, record 2.144, and Clingstone, 2.14, at Cleveland, on Thursday, Clingstone won two heats and Patron one. It was then brother, glad at anything that promised to interrupt the dispute. ‘“Go and open it, said he!” echoed Baby, half angry, half frightened, and half triam- phant at the superiority of her understanding over that of her brother—‘‘Go and open it, said you, indeed!—is it to lend robbers a almost dark and Emery, Patron’s owner, refused to let him go again. Clingstone went a milezlone and took the money. There was a great crowd and both horses received ovations. Patron was a great favorite at first and sold at big odds.
