‘* Magnus Troil,” said the elder Mertoun, ‘has two daughters. You are of the age , when men look upon such gauds with eyes of
affection, that they may afterwards learn to curse the day that tirst opened their eyes upon iheaven! I bid you beware of them; for, as ‘sure as that death aad sin cane into the } world by woman, so sure are their soft words and softer looks the utter destruction and

whale, that will change his course and dive | for the most petty coin which a fisher can cast | at him. Certain it is, that if you have been lessened in the opinion of Magnus Troil, that sordid fellow hath had some share in it. But = him count his vantage, for my eye is upon iim.
‘‘ And why, mother,” said Mordaunt, ‘do you not tell to Magnus what you have told to me !”"
‘* Because,” replied Norna, ‘‘ they who wax wise in their own conceit must be taught a bitter lesson by experience. It was but yes- terday that I spoke with Magnus, and what ‘Good Norna, you grow old.’ And this was spoken by one bounden to me by so many and such close ties—by the descend-
|ant of the ancient Norse earls—-this was from
Magnus Troil to me; and it was said in be- halt of one whom the sea flung forth as wreck - weed! Since he despises the counsel of the aged, he shall be taught by that of the young; and well that he is not left to his own folly. Go, therefore, to Burgh-Westra, as usual upon the Baptist’s festival.”
‘**T have had no invitation,” said Mordaunt;
“IT am not wanted, not wished for, not thought of—perhaps I shall not be acknow- ledged if I go hither; and yet, mother, to confess the truth, thither I had thought to go. ‘*It was a good thought, and to be cherish- ed,” replied Norna; ‘‘ we seek our friends when they are sick in health, why not when they are sick in mind, and surfeited with prosperity’ Do not fail to go—it may be, we shall meet there. Meanwhile our roads lie different. Farewell, and speak not of this meeting.”
They parted, and Mordaunt remained standing by the lake, with his eyes fixed on Norna, until her tall dark form became invisible among the windings of the valley down which she wandered, and Mordaunt returned to his father’s mansion, determined coincided so well with his own wishes.
CHAPTER XL
Tue festialj day approached, and still no invitation arrived ioe that gucst, without whom, but a little space since, no feast cculd have been held in the island ; while, on the other hand, such repurts as reached them on every side spoke highly of the favor whieh Captain Cleveland enjoyed in the family of the old Udaller of Burgh-Westra. Swertha and the old Ranzelman shook their heads at these mutations, and reminded Mordaunt, by many a half-hint and innuendo, that he had incurred this eclipse by being so imprudently artive to secure the safety of the stranger, when he lay at the mercy of the next wave beneath the cliffs of Samburgh-head. ‘It is best to let saut water take iis gate,” said Swertha ; “luck never came of crossing it.”
‘*In troth,” said the Ranzelman, ‘‘ they are wise folks that let wave and withy haud their ain—luck never came of a half-drowned man, or a half-hanged ane either. Who was’t shot Will Patterson off the Noss?—the Dutchman that he saved from sinking, I trow. To fing a drowning man a plank or a tow, may be the part of a Christian ; but I say, keep hands aff him, if ye wad live and thrive free frae his danger.”
‘““Ye area wise man, Ranzelman, and a worthy,” echoed Swertha, with a groan, ‘‘and ken how and when to help a neighbor, as weel as ony man that ever drew a net.”
‘“‘In troth, I have seen length of days,” answered the Ranzelman, ‘‘ and I have heard what the auld folk said to each other anent sic matters; and nae man in Zetland shall go farther than I will in any Christian service to a man on firm land ; but if he cry ‘ Help!’ out of the saut waves,that’s another story.”
** And yet, tothink of this lad Cleveland standing in our Maister Mordaunt’s light,” said Swertha, ‘‘and with Magnus Treil, that thought him the flower of the island but on Whitsunday last, and Magnus, too, that’s both held (when he’s fresh, honest man) the wisest and wealthiest of Zetland !”
‘** He canna win by it,” said the Ranzelman, with a look of the deepest sagacity. ‘There's whiles, Swertha, that the wisest of us (as I am sure I humbly confess mysell not to be) may be little better than gulls, and can no more win by doing deeds of folly than I can step over Sumburgh-head. But we shall see soon what ill is to come of all tais, for good there cannot come.”
And Swertha answeied, with the same tone of prophetic wisdom. ‘* Na, na, gude can never come on it, and that is ower truly said.”
These doleful predictions, repeated from time to time, had some effect upon Mordaunt. He did not indeed suppose that the charitable action of relieving a drowning man had sub- jected him, as anecessary and fatal conse- quence, tothe unpleasant circumstances in which he was placed; yet he felt as if a sort of spell were drawn around him, of which he neither understood the nature nor the extent; that seme power, in short, beyond his own control was acting upon his destiny, and, as it seemed, with no friendly influence. His curiosity as well as his anxiety was highly excited, and he continued determined, at all events, tomake his appearance at the ap- proaching festival, when he was impressed with the belief that something uncommon was necessarily to take place, which should determine his future views and prospects in life.
As the elder Mertoun was at this time in his ordinary state of health, it became neces- sary that his son should intimate to him his intended visit to Burgh-Westra. He did so ; and his father desired to know the especial reason of his going thither at this particular time.
‘It is a time of merry-making,” replied the youth, ‘‘and allthe country are assembled.”
‘‘ And you are doubtless impatient te add another fool to the number. Go-—but beware how you walk inthe path which you are about to tread—-a fall from the cliffs of Foula were not more fatal.”
‘‘May Iask the reason of your caution, sir?” yeplied Mordaunt, breaking through the
The wet weather also debars the evangelists from making their nightly visits to St. Peter’s Island. I am, however, glad to see that they make them during the day.
The dressmakers in this locality are busy making wedding garments. If rumors be true there are a great many who will be joined!’ in nuptial bonds this season, as they are not go- ing to wait for the leap -year. Mr. McPhee’s yacht left Nine Mile Creek to-day for the Capital with a cargo of pota- toes. 1 noticed a letter in the last issue of the Patriot, signed ** One of the People.” This person, whoever he may be, appears to be making himself very busy as to how the money is expended on the wharf here. He goes on tosay that the Dominion Government engineer was out and ordered the repairing oi the wharf, and to put on men and have the work done at once. Now, | am ereditably in- formed the engineer never gave such or- ders. The wharf has been ready to ship from since the 14th inst. It is my opinion that it is not the use of a wharf that this seeker after political pap wants ; but he seems annoyed that a Tory has the doing of the work. He writes another falsehood as to how the timber was obtained. It was not obtained in the vicinity, bue was purchased in the nearest district. This thin skinned Grit ought to know that there is no timber to be had in this district that woula do for the construction of the work. This busy body or ‘‘ One of the People” gars on to say ‘‘ the more days that are wasted the more dollars the Superintendent and his boys will have.” I toust let him know that there was no time wasted, and the Superintendent has only one of his sons at the work. Now I would advise ‘‘ One of the People,’ if ever he writes another letter to write the truth, ¢. g., if their is any truth in him. OPSERVER.

The appointment of Sir Charles Tupper as Canada’s representative on the Joint Commission to consider the Fishery Ques- tion. and recommend a basis of settlement will be received with very great satisfaction. He is in many respects the best man who could be selected for so important and so responsible a position. As thoroughly familiar with the various aspects of the question, as any public man in Canada, he has the added advantages of skill and ex- perience in diplomacy, of wonderful energy and iadustry,jof tremendous will-power, and of unflinching courage and firmness. Our interests in his hands will be safe. We as- sume from the selection of Sir Charles Tupper that the settlement it is hoped to reach may proceed upon commercial lines and partake of the character of a reciprocity of trade, and that, as was at one time be- lieved the commission will not be charged merely with the duty of defining the rights of Canada under the Treaty of 1818. As for that, indeed there is little ground for difference of opinion, so clear and explicit are the terms of the convention by which American fisherman are excluded from other privileges in our ports than shelter, repairs and the obtaining of wood and water and from fishing within a marine league of the shore, and a limitation of the scope of the commission to this point must almost inevitably have resulted in a disagreement. In an enlargement of reciprocal trade, how- ever, a solution may be found, towards which Sir Charles Tupper, a his inti- mate acquaintance with tle commercial position, the resources, and the capabilities of Canada will be able to contribute. The commission is now complete; Canada’s in- terests are in safe hands; and we hope for a satisfactory conclusion of the labors of the commissioners; but we cannot ignore the fact that President Cleveland, in agreeing to the apointment of representatives, had not the sanction of the Senate, and that the ratification of any arrangement that may be recommended is exceedingly doubt- ful on the part of Congress.—Montreal Gazette.

The Fastest Cruiser Afloat.
The Reina Regente, the new deck- protected cruiser that has just been built on the Clyde for the Spanish Government, is said to be the fastest sea-going warship afloat. Last week her speed was tested for the first time. Under natural draught she steamed at the rate of nineteen knots, or more than twenty-one and a half miles per hour. Under forced draugkt she will certainly steam twenty and a half knots, or twenty-three miles and a third. This a rate of speed of which not even the best of the great ocean liners are capable. It is sufficient te enable the new vessel to cross the Atlantic, from New York to (Jueens- town, in about five days and five hours. Neither the Etruria nor the Umbria could possibly accomplish the same voyage in less than five days, twenty-two hours, and yet these ships are the fastest merchant steam- ers in existenee. The Spanish Government is building four more cruisers of the same rate of speed.
