' „ , The night was dark and yet clear, the se ttill, not a whisper stirred in the biro woods nor along the shores; the small re points of fire that told of the distant villag burned steadily. And here, down pear tn edge of the water, were Coinneach an Celurrea-Iihata, hidden under the shadow o the projecting rocks. 1` tab, yes, Calum," the elder sailor was saying in his native tongue -and he spoke in something of an undertone-" maybe we will get a few sea -trout this night, and s, good basket of sea -trout is a fine thing to take away witii Us to Heimra, and who has a better right to the sea -trout than our master? Perhaps you do not know what in other days they used to call Kain, for you are a young man and not hearing of metier things, but I will tell you now. It was in that days when there were very good rela- Mans between tl-e people and the propri- eake. "i When the birds sang in Gaelic, Coin- neach !"said Calum, you may laugh, for you are a young man and ignorant of many thiags, b t I tell you there was that time, and the enints and the people at the big house we e very friendly. And the tenants they 'Aid part of their rent in things that were very useful for the big house-1-4mb things as bens and butter and eggs and the like -but it was not taken as rent, it was taken Asa present, and the people at the big house they would have the tenant sit down and drink a glass of whisky and hear the news. e And now do yon underetand that there's many a one about here knows wela of that custard, and • they may pay their money rent tothe Eng- lish family, but they would rather send their Kain to the old family, that is to our master, and that is why the Gillie Ciotach and the rest of them are very glad w‘heis they can take out a hare or a brace of birds or something of that kind to Heimra a And why should not the sea pay Kain to Donald Ross of Heimra ?-I will ask you that clues - ;tion, °alum. If the seA about here belongs Ito any one it belongs to the old family, and felot to the English family-" i - "But if they catch ue with the seringe- net, Coinneach ?" said the younger man, ruefully, " Aw, Dyeea, I was never in a prison." "The seringe•net !-a prison !" said Coinneach, with ,contempt. "How littie you know about such things' Do they put the dukes and the lords in prison that come around the coast in their big yachts, and in , nearly every one of the. yachts you will se ecringe-net h.ung out to dry and no one concealing it? Do you think I have no eyee, Calum ? When the Consuelo came round to Camus Bhca.g and the :nester was sending to us for his other clotheslefore he went away to the south did I not see them taking down a scringe- net from the boom? It is very frightened you are, Caluin, whether it is putting a few kegs into a cave or putting a seriuge-net round a shore. Now, if there was some- thing really to frighten you -like the card - playing the young man saw--' " What was that, Coinneach ?" said Calum, quickly. Coinneach paused for a second or two, and his face became grave and thoughtful. "That was enough to frighten any one," he continued presently -in this mysterious chillness, while he kept his eyes watching the vague, dark plain that lay between him and the distant lights of the village, "And if I tell you the story, Calum, it is to show you there are many things which we do not understand, and that it is wise not to speak too confidently, in case some one might overhear -some one that we cannot eee. For seined:nes they show themselves, and at other times they are not visible, but they may be there. Now,I must tell you it hap- pened in a great csstle in the North -I am not remembering the mane of it; maybe it was up in Caithnese-I am not remembering that; but the story is well known, and I was bearing that some one was putting it in a book as well. Now, I must tell you that the owner of the castle is the head of the clan, and of a very old and great family, and it is the custom, whenever he goes away from home, that one of the othet gentlemen of the clan goes to the castle to keep watch. It is not needful in these days, as you can guess for yourself, but it is a compliment to the head of tbe clan and an old custom, and maybe it is kept up to the present time -though I am not swearing to you, Calum. What I am telling you took place a good many years ago, that is what I have heard, maybe sixty years, maybe fifty years, maybe a hundred years -I am not swearing to that. But the chief had to go away from home, and ac- cording to the custom, one of the gentle- men went to keep watch, and he took with him a young country lad, one of his own servants. Now I muat tell you there was a fire put in the great hall of the castle, for it was in the winter time, and they had to , sit up all night, the one keeping the other awake -for no one likes to be left alone in a strange place like that in the night time,and not knowing what things have been ex- perienced by others." "You arenot needing to tell me that, Coinneach," the other assented. "Very well. But as I was sayiog, the master he set close to the fire in the great hall and the young man he remained some distance away, by one of the windows, and there was no speaking between them. So one hoar after another went by and there was nothing happening, and it was not until` the dead of the night, or towarde the morn- ing, that the young man noticed that his master had fallen asleep. He did not like that, I can tell you, Calum, for if you are left alone the evil beings may appear and come upon you, and there is no question about ia Very well, The young man he thought he would go over to the fire and waken his muster, but what do you think f this now,Ceitlum'that when he tried to ise from his seat he could not do that- omethieg was holding him back -he :tried even times over and seven times more, as I ave heard, for he was tremblinewith fear f being held. And then -what do you think of this, Calum-and it is the truth I m telling you -he saw what few men have ver seen, and what few would ever wish to ee : the folding doors at the end of the hall were opened wide, and there were two foot- men bringing in lights, and then there was a -procession of ladies and gtntlemen all dressed in a way that was strange to him, and they came into the hall so that you could not hear a sound. They took no no- tice of him or his master, and he could see everything they were doing, for all that his eyes were starting out of hie head with fright, and I tell you he was so terrified he could not cry out to wake his master. But he was watching -oh yes, he was watching with all his eyes, you may be sure of that, and he saw the footmen bring forward the tables, and those periple n thd strange clothes eat down and began to play at cards, and they were talking, to eaeh other -but never any sound of their talking. Be could tree their lips moving,. but there was no sound. What de you think of that now, Calum, was it not a a BETTER value and finding that a success also, 1'0 1 have concluded to give them the a BEST: value ever offered in Seaforth in WATCHES, CLOCKS, RINGS, SPECTACLES, SILVERWARE, and JEWELRY of every description.

There's many a 6ne would have sprung up and shriekedaout, but, as I tell you, there was no strength in his bones, and he could not move, and his master was fast asleep, and all thotOpeople-the gentlemen, with their small evaaords by their aside, and the ladies in their itiagrs--they were playing away - at the cattla and talking to each ether across the tabl*,= and not a tound to be heard. Re watcheitand watched-aw, God, I suppose he was pore dead than alive with trembling, and notibeing able to call on his mestere- until the windows began to grow gray witl • the morning light, and then he saw thet the .people,tere sometimes looking at the win- dows end sometimes- at each other; and they wOe talking less. , Then they rose,and be coul# not see the candles any Imre be cause oa the light in the hall,and they were going &key in that noiseless manner when one Ohem happened to spy the youog man'and he came along and looked at him. He loo -ea at him- for a moment and seemed li to brae he on him, so that it was like a cold air ton t ing him, and the young man knew that tha hand of death had been put upon him. 1%...ere was no sound; the strange per- son °Dia looked, and the young men felt the cold aiition bis forehead so that he was for sinkingato the floor, for he thought that death as on him already and that he must go wita them wherever they were going. CelumetiI have told you what I felt when I was cmfeing back from Ru-Gobhar and when the Wo#nan came behind me; it was like that wath the young man, as I have heard. Aad Ven all of a sudden a cock crew out- side, MO hail master woke up and looked round, 'send there was no one in the hall but their to aelves. "Did he cry out then ?-did he tell his masterf*hat he had seen?" Calum askeili in a lova. voice. " Heiwas not caring much to tell any one," Ooineach replied. "It was what he felt wiabin him that coneerned him, and he knew that -the touch of death had been put upon feirn. Oh yes, he told the story, though il they found him 'so weak that he could*t say much, and they put him to bed -bait he was shivering all the time, and he hadaso heart for living left in him. He , was ilk oaring to speak much about it. 1W1ieis they asked him what the people were _ like, 114 said the gentlemen had velvet coats and white hair' tied with black ribbons be- hind i atnd the ladies were rich in their dress* but he could not say what language they Were speaking, for he could see their lips ninving, but there wasno sound. Be was hei caring to speak much about it. The life seemed to have beeri taken out of his body; he said he would never rise again from his bed. He said more than once, 'It was that one that breathed on me; he want- ed ole p go with them to be one of the ser, vitiate, ti and if the cock had not crowed I would have gone with them. But now I am goOti,' And he got weaker and weaker until about the end ot the third day, and then 0 was all over with the poor lad and there -awes no struggle -he knew that the death touch lied been put upon his heart." "Aad I suppose now," said Calum'medi- tstivetY, "they will have him bringing in the Wales for them every time they come to play cards in the middle of the night. ' Aw, layeetta I know what I would cm if I was the imister of that place -I would have the keepetal hidden, and when thosepeople came he I- wOuld have three or four guns go off at thein all at once. Would not that settle them ..i," " Ybu are a foolish lad, Calum, to think you, can harm people like that with a gun," said Coinneach. "No, if it was 1, I would say the Lord's Prayer U. myself, very low, so that they could not hear, and if they did hear and still came towards me I would cry out, 'God on the cross ! '-and that svoulcl Put iiiie people away from me, as it made the Woman take her hands from my throat the dreadful night I was coming by the Blacti Bay." "Aye, but tell me thie, Coinneach," said the yiaunger of the two men. "1 have heard that in great terror your tongue will aiming to yonr mouth and you cannot cry out. i And What is to happen to you then, if one di those people came near to put a cold breaali on you ?" COnneach did not answer this question, for he last, few seconds he had been carefully scanning the darkened plain before hie. " The boat is coming now, Calum," he whispered. "And it is just as noiseless as ally ithost she is." And with that the two men got up from the rock on which they had,been Bitting and went down to the wet rat edge, where they waited in silence. T tere was a low whistle; Coinneach an: swe ed it. Presently a dark object became dimly, eisible in the gloom. It was a row- ing boat ; and. as she slowly drew near the prow sent ripples of phosphorescence tremb- ling away into the dusk, while the blades of theanuffied oars, each time they dipped, strtick white fire down into the sea. - It looked as if some huge and strange creature, with gauzy silver wings, was coming shore ward from out of the unknown deeps, Not a word was uttered by any one. When the bow of the, boat mine near, Coinneach caught it and checked it, so that it should not grate on the shingle. Then he and his companion tumbled in; two other oars, also muffled, were put in the rowlocks, and silently she went away again under the guidance of a fifth man, who sat at the helm. Very soon the lights of Lochgarra were lost to view; they had got round one ot the promontories.. Out to seaward there was nothing visible at all, While the "loom" of the land was hardly to be distinguished from the overhanging heavens that did not show a single -star. (TO BE CONTINUED.) --4. 'How People Sleep. "There is a good deal in getting' used to a thing," we are told -which may be the reason why some customs that look like misery to us are comfort to those who have long been -used to them. The Youth's Com- panion says: " The European or American in order to sleep well, ordinarily requires a downy pil• low under the head ; but the Japanese, stretching himself upon a rush mat or the ffoor, puts a hard, square block of wood un- der his head, and does not sleep well if he does not have it. The Chinese makes great account of his bed, which is very low indeed -scarcely rising from the floor -but be often carved exquisitely of wood; but it never oceurs to. him to make it any softer than rush matawill render it. While the people of northern countries can not sleep until they have plenty of room to stretch out their legs, the inhabitants of the tropics often curl themselves up like monkeys at the lower augle of a suspended hammock, and sleep soundly in that position, The robust American often covers himself with a pair of blankets and throws his window wide open to the air, even in the winter t'rne, and does net complain if he finds a little drift of snow across the top of hie bed in the morning. The Russian, on the con- trary, likes no sleeping -place ea well as the top of the big soap -stone stove in his domi- cile. Crawling out of this blistering bed in the morning, he likes to take a plunge in a cold stream, even if he has to break through the ice to get into it. The Laplander crawls, head and ell, into a bag made of reirideer skin,' and )sleeps warm and com- fortable within it. The EaseIndia,n, at the other end of the world, ale° has a sleeping - bag, but it is more porous than the Lap- lander's, Its purpose is to keep out mos- quitoes more than to keep the sleeper warm. While the American still clings to his feether pillow, he is steadily discarding his old- fashioned feather bed in favor of the hair or straw. mattress. The feather bed is relega- ted to the country, and many people who slept upou it all through their childhood find themselves uncomfortable upon it in theie maturity. The Germans not only sleep upon a feather bed, but underneath one. The feather covering used in Ger- manta however, is not as lerge or thick as the Foe which is used as a mattress, and the foreigner who undertakes to sleep beneath it often finds his feet suffering from cold while his shoulders are suffering from heat."

"We Mechanics Have no Time to Study." We heard a mechanic Make the above remark to a comrade, a few evenings ago, and we were sorry to hear it. It showed that the speaker hJno true iden of the op- portunities at his disposal. The idea about the want of time to study is a mere phantom. Franklin found time in the midst of all his labors to dive into the hidden recesses of philosophy, and to ex- plore the untrodden paths of science. The Great Frederick, with an empire at his direction, in the midst of war, on the eve of battles which were to decide the fate of his kingdom, found time to revel in the charms of philosophy and intellectual pleasures. Bonaparte, with all Europe at hie dis- posal, with kings in his ante -chamber beg- ging for vacant thrones, with thousands of men whose destinies were 'wended on the brittle thread of hie arbitrary pleasure, had time to converse with books. Casson, when he had curbed the spirits of the Roman people, and was thronged with visitors from the remotest kingdoms, found time for intellectual cultivation. And then think of the mechanics -the Stevensone, Watt, Fulton, Peter Cooper, and a host of others -who have educated themselves and risen to eminence. Every man has time, and, if he improves it as well as he might, can reap a three -fold reward. Let mechanics, then, make UFC of the hours at their disposal, if they want to obtain an education and exercise a proper iefluence in society. They are the life -blood of the community; they can if they please, hold in their hands the destinies of our country ; they are numerous, respectable, and powerful; and they have only to be educated half as well as other professions to make laws for the nation. • Simplified Housekeeping. "It is so nery different now from,the time when I was youne said a lady recently, in speaking of the arts of house and home, " Then housekeeping was a burden, some- times the thought of it a terror. But with the change see how everything is lightened; there is no longer the need of such a routine tumbling over each other below etairs and above; the work is better done, and the whole thing simplified, and that merely by the help of a few young persons coming in ACUTE or CHRONIC, Can be cured by the use a SCOTT'S EMULSION of pure Cod Liver Oil, with the Irlypophosphites of Lime and Soda.

Under this helpful regime our parlors are full of bric-a-brac, you know, some of it immensely valuable in cost, Some of it pre- cious from association. But now a young woman comes in on stated mornings three or four times a week -a young woman of good breeding, often of good family, but who needs money -conies in with her para- phernalia, of nice cloths and brushea, and goea to work quietly and softly, and the drawing ,roome and reception rooms and library are in spotless order when she goes out to fill her next engagement, and every- thing is as it should be, and you have hard- ly been aware that she was there. The price paid her is trifling ; but she receiaers the same price from so many houses that it amounts to a considerable sum in the -course of the week, and makes her feel herself in a good business, while you, or to your house- keeper if you have one, the result is luxuri- ous. Then another young person comes in with her bag of appliances and attends to tne lamps, which, in these days of y lov e lamps in multitude, is no small matter, a d she has them all in some closet and rubs the Metal bright with oil, and -polishes it dry and clean, and brushea out the burners closely, and wipes the crust off the wieke inatead of cutting them, and cleans •the chimneys with a few drops of alcohol or am- monia, on her piece of flannel, and shakes the dust out of the silken shades and leaves them all ready and without a flaw, .for the housemaid to set in their places. But per- haps as great'a help as any is the young lady who comes to pack. She is ale° a lady; she knows what pretty things are and how they should be taken care of, and she does all the folding, laying away, stooping, step- ping about, either for the packing of your trunks for a journey or the closing of your house for the season, and she comes to you in the city, or obeys your telegram summon- ing her down to the country or the seaside, and saves you great weariness of soul and body !"-Harper's Bazar. 1 • News Notes. , -Mrs. Ivison, of Leamington, will appear in the police court there to answer to a charge of . assaulting Rev.

This season is a particularly dangerous one for persons with weak lungs or of delicate constitu- tion. A slight cold is likely to become a serious one, and the cough that follows is one great cause of the many deaths from consumption in the early spring. Never neglect a cold or cough. Keep a reliable remedy on hand and Check the first cough that may lead to consumption. As such a remedy the medi- cine called Kemp's Balsam is strongly recommended.
