THE PIRATE.

By Sir Walter Scott.

CHAPTER XXV. (Continued. )

“It matters not to my present purpose,” replied Mertoun; ‘I have to ask you what tidings you know of my son Mordaunt Mer- toun?”

“* A fafher,” replied the sibyl, ‘‘asks of a stranger what tidings she has of her son! How shonld I know aught of him? the cormorant says not to the mallard, Where is my brood ?”

“(Lay aside this useless affectation of mystery,” said Mertoun ; ‘with the vulgar and ignorant it has its effect, but with me it is thrown away. The people of Jarlshof have told me that you do know, or may know, something of Mordaunt Mertoun, who lias not retarned home from the festival of Saint John’s, held in the house of your relative, Magnus Troil. Give me such information, if indeed ye have it to give ; and it shal! be recompensed, if the means of recompense are in My paper.

“The wide round of earth,” replied Norna, ‘holds nothing that I would call a recompense for the slightest word that I throw away upon a living ear. But for thy son, if thou wouldst see him in life, repair to the approaching fair of Kirkwall, in Orkeny.” ** And wherefore thither?’ said Mertoun ; “I know he had no purpose in that direc- tion.” “We drive on the stream of © fate,” answered Norna, ‘‘without oar or rudder. Yon had no purpose this morning of visiting the Kirk of Saint Ringan, yet you are here ;— re had no purpose but a minute hence ot eing at Kirkwall, and yet you will go thither.” ** Not unless the cause is more distinetly explained to me. I am no believer, dame, in those who assert your supernatural powers.” ** You shall believe in them ere we part,” said Norna. ‘As yet you know but !ittle of ne, nor shall you know more. But I know enough of you, and would convince you with one word that I do so.’ “Convince me, then,” said Mertour ; “‘ for unless I am so convinced, there is little chance of my following your counsel.” ‘“*Mark, then,” said Norna, ‘what I have to say on your son’s score, else what I shall Say toyouon yourown will banish every other thought from your memory. You shall go to the approaching Fair at Kirkwall ; and, on the fifth day of the Fair, you shail walk, at the hour of noon, in the outér aisle of the Oathedral of Saint Magnus, and there you shall meet a person who will give you tidings of your son.” ‘** You must speak more distinctly, dame,” returned Mertoun, scornfully, “if you hope that I should follow your counsel. I have been fooled in my time by women, but never so grossly as you seem willing to gull me.” ‘“‘Hearken, then!” said the old:woman. “The word which J speak shall touch the nearest secretof thy life, and thrill thee through nerve and bone.” So saying, she whispered a werd into Mertoun’s ear, the effect of which seemed almost magical. He remained fixed and motionless with surprise, as, waving her arm slowly aloft, with an air of superiority and triumph, Norna glided from him, turned round a corner of the ruins, and wae soon out of sight. Mertoun offered not to follow or to trace her. ‘‘Wefly from our fate in vain!” he said, as he began to recover himself; and turning, he left behind him the desolate ruins witp their cemetery. As he looked back from the very last point at which the church was visible, he saw the figure of Norna, muffled in her mantle, standing on the very summit of the ruined tower, rm stretching out to the sea-breeze something which resembled a white pennon or flag. A feeling of horror, similar to that excited by her last words, again thrilled through his bosom, and he hastened onwards with unwonted speed, until he had left the church of Saint Ninian, with its bay of sand, far behind him. Upon the arrival at Jorlshof, the alternate in his countenance was so great, that Swertha conjectured he was about to fall into those fits of deep melancholy which she termed his dark hour. ‘‘And what better could be expected,” thought Swertha, ‘‘ when he must deeds go visit Norna of the Fitful-head, when she was in the haunted Kirk of Santa Kingan’s ?” But without testifying any other symptoms of an alienated mind, then that of deep and sullen dejection, her master acquainted her with his intention to go to the Fair of Kirkwall,—a thing so contrary to his usual habits, that the=housekeeper well-nigh refus- ed to credit her ears, Shortly‘after he heard, withfapparent indifference, the account re- turned by the different persons who had been sent out in quest of Mordaunt, by sea and land, who all of them returned without any tidying. The equanimity with which Mertoun heard the report of their bad suc- cess, convinced Swertha still more firmly than in his interview with Norna, that issue had been predicted to him by the sibyl whom he had consulted. The township were more surprised, when their tracksman, Mr. Mertoun, as if on some sudden, resoultion, made preparations to visit Kirkwall during the Fair, altough he had hitherto ‘avoided, sedulously all such places of public Sresort. Swertha puzzled himseif a good deal, without being able to penetrate this mystery; and vexed himself still more concerning the fate of her young master. But her Sconcern was much softened by the deposit of asum of money, seeming, however moderate in itself, a treasure in her eyes, which her master put upon her hands, acquaintance her, at the same time, that he had taken his passage for Kirkwall, in a small bark belonging to the proprietor of the island of Mousa.

The Hereafter.

BY ARATARA,

Lorp Byron said, in a poetical letter to

serious matter.” Itis. It is a problem that only ages can solve, and it will require a countless number of them to furnish a first volume to its cyclopeedia. All we know about it now is that what has been called time is really only a part of it, a production of measurements, like as the mariner feels his way by the lead over un- charted shvals. From some effulgent centre flows (countless and immeasurable) radial expressions of the Infinite One, that embody individualities and grade existences from the unities of substance to complexi- ties of mind-fcrms :—the atom is raised to a cel), the cell is evolved to a life, a life is allotted its sphere of action, actions become growths,growths become individualizations, individualizations become revelations of power, revelations of power become linked to omnipotence, associate with omniscience,

spirit. The great question, then, of the Here-)

nipotent and omniscient and omnipresent. design, in which there is no void, in which | there is no imperfection, and in which no retrogression can exist. All and every,' must, under the fiat of compelling omnipo- tence, under the regulating adjustments of omniscience, anc the support of infinite omnipresence, accomplish the thing where- unto it was, is, and will be sent. All is on the way of life travelling forever on towards the word of the power, wisdom and love of the Infinite Spirit of a}l matter.

MAN IS MATTER AND = SPIRIT.

He is at once mortal as to his external form, and immortal aa to his indwelling individuality. His cust returns to dust and his spirit to God who gave it, for of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are ALL thinge.

The problem, then, of a hereafter (the highest and deepest the mind of mau ever can, may or will have) is a self revealing truth, one that has no beginning and no ending, that permits no complete demon- stration, the Infinite Spirit needing none, and the limitations of humanity stopping short of it.

But, the probiem is nota sealed book, It engrossed the mind of Job when he asked the question, ‘* If a man die shall he live again?’ It was seen through a glass darkly when the Egyptian priests taught restoration, and the chemistry of embal- ment was resorted to for delaying dissolu- tion.

It was an outline to Moses when he gravec the tables of etone, with commands, impressed first on his mind by the Infinite One for the preparation of the Jewish people for heir Hereafter, so his percep- tions gave it form,and his authority gave it promise.

It was illustrated by the establishment of the ancient Cities of Retuge, a mundane expedient for prolonging life. It was shown in the glare of the fiery furnace, when a Daniel evidenced the controlling power of God, as He willed with Matter and Spirit. It was the one reason for in- spiring the Gospel writers to show that the problem of a future life was one for Divine solution, (the question of immor- tality being a revelation from God to man), and that the grave gained no victory, nor death any sting except as viewed and felt by physical apprehension and dread. The New Testament proclaims a Here- after; the soul of man yearns for continu- ity, evolution, and progression, and his mind is open to advance(asthe Infitnite may impress) upon the road that leadeth toa life everlasting. The soul of man (the temple of the Infinite Spirit) cannot return unto him void, but must accomplish the thing where unto it was sent.

While man is but a grain of dust from the Fanners of the Almighty, and he at- tempts the solution of the great problem of his hereafter, can only exert the little mind that is contained therein, but as fullness is a possible condition with all measures, man may at least fully realize that there is such a problem, though utterly beyond him to solve. Man may, and can, and does re- alize (one, and each, and all) that there is a hereafter.

It is a hereafter that always has been, is, and always will be, because it is the Infinite principle of duration, and is in ac- cordance with the Infinite Mind. It has duration, continuation and ceaselessness for its factors,!and blooms with eternal frag- rance both for the Hosts of Heaven and the inhabitants of the earth.

Let us picture (’tis ail we can do here) the end from the beginning, Let us start at «thes crude formation, that a mind finite, ignorant and local can figure from what comes to it as seeming truths. We may do this because, being evolved, we are evolving; having mind, we are mindful; divinely perceived we perceive, and, as we journey along the pathways of experience, we experience. Thus, by evolution physical, mental development, growing perception, and multiplying experiences we clothe thought, and from radial lines of reasoning that reach out to the unknown that lies all around us, from the rising east to the setting west.

The Alphas and Omegas of nature's spelling book give us our cue, and we think, perhaps not wisely, but we think, and discover we are spirits in consequence. lf Samuel and Moses, and Elias, and the Divine Man and ‘‘one of the prophets” according to the sacred writings, reappeared and were made visible to the physical sight, we may conclude pretty safely on the testimony of the Bible, that Revelation gives Sits dictum tothe fact of 8 SOMEWHERE AFTER DEATH as a place for departed spirits, and explicity endorses the provebility of a hereafter (to the human family) as a condition of life that admits of a reparticipation in mundane affairs and permits the decarnated to recarnate before the incarnate.

Science (scientisis to the conttary not- withstanding) proclaiming the indistruct- ability of matter, furnishes a basis on which to construct a man—hereafter, as conclusively as any other facts prove any other thing, for if matter, which is the vehicle of motion, is indistructible and motion and matter are co-related, what- ever proves the permanence of one must include the continuity of the other, and everything of which we can take cvgniz- ance belongs to the realm of science, the mvotions of matter (not a few selected waves of sight or sound) but all motion of all ;matter must entail scientific support, and | this natural inference seems to lead to the Q.
