From the London Lrlernry Magnet.
THE PBAMTOM HAND.
I see a band you cannot see,
Which beckons me away.
In q lonely part of the bleak and- rock*
coast of Scotland, there d welt a being who was
designated by the ftfcr who knew and feared
him, the( Warlock Fisher. He was, in truth, a
singular and fearful old man. For years ho had
followed bis dangerous occupation alone (ad
venturing forth in weather which appalled the
stoutest of tho stout hearts that occasionally ex
changed a word with him in passing to and frd
in their mutual employment. Of his name,
birth or dcscont nothing was known; bnt the
fecundity of conjecture had supplied an unfail
ing stock of materials on ihose points. a Soine
said he wtu the devil incarnate; others said he
was a Dutchman, or some other “far away for*
eigner,” who had fled to those comparative
solitudes fora shelter, from the retribution due
to some grievous crime; and all agreed that he
was neither a Scot nor a true man. In out
ward form, however, he was still “a model of
a man,” tall and well made; though in years,
his natural strength was far from l>ein» abated.
His matted black hair, hanging In cff-lock4 a-
botit his ears and shoulders, together with the
perpetual sulienness which seenipd native iu
the expression of his features, ne.^ter regular
nor pleasing, gave him an appearance unondti-
rabiy disgusting, . lie lived aione, in a hovel of
his own construction, partially scooped oiu of
the rock*-wsra never known to have suffered a
visiter within his wah^—to have Spoken a kind
word, or done q kind action. Once, indaed,
h* performed an act wbt«b, in a letu? omoiou*
being would had been isbod Ihe
for tho Jltore—there was a fattier and two sons
iu it. Tho danger became eniminent, ns they
neared.the rocky promontory of the. fisher—■
and the boat upset. Women and boys were
screaming and gesticulating from the beach, in
all the wild and useless energy of despair, tint
assistance was bo where to be seen. Tho fa
ther and one of the lads disappeared frir ever;
but theyouEger boy clung, with extraordinary
resolulion, to the inverted vessel. By -acci
dent, the Warlock Fisher, came to the door of
his hovel, saw tho drowning lad, and plunged
instantaneously into the sea. For some min
utes ho wjs invisible amid the angry turmoil,
but be styara like an inhabitant of that fearful
element, and bore the boy iu safety to the hr each.
From fatigue or fear, or tho effects of both uni*
ted, tho poor lad died shortly aferwartls, and
his grateful relatives industriously insisted, that
he had beon blighted in tho grasp of bis unltal*
lowed resiuer! ...
Towards the end of autupin, tho weather fro*
quently becomes ao broken aud stormy in those
parts, as to render tho susto imice derived from
fishing extremely precarious Ag-lnat this,
however, the Warlock Fisher ,was provided;
tor, caringlittle for weather, and apparently less
for Id*’, he went nut in all seasons and was
known to be absent for day's,, during the most
violent storms, when every itopo of seeing, him
again nas lost. Still nothing harmed'him ; ho
came drilling back again, the way ward, dnfear*
ing, unhallowed animal. To account for this,
it was understood that ho was in connexion tvith
smugglers: that his days of absence, wore spent
in their service—in recohnoitoring for their
safety, nnd assisting their relations. IVhatever
of truth there might bn jn it, i; vkas well known
that the Warlock Fisher-never wanted aideut
spirits; and so free was lie in their use, and of
tobacco; that he has been heard, in a long and
dreary winter’s evening, carolling songs iu a,
strange tongue, with till the fervor of an inspir*
ed bacchanal. It has been said, joii; at such
times he held strange talk with some .who nev*
er answered, deprecated sights which no one
else could see, and exhibited the fury of an out-
rageoiy mauine.
It was towards the close of an autumn day;
that a tall young than was seen ^ttrvoying tho
btfrren rocks, aud apparently deserted shores,
near th;- dwelling ofthe fisher. Ho wore die
enquiring aspttct of a stranger, and yet his step
indicated a previdusacquaintaneq with the scone.
The sun was flinging his boldest radiance on
the rolling ocean, as .the youth ascended tbo
nigged path which Jed.to tfio .Warlock Fishm’s
hut.. He surveyed tho door for a moment, as
if to bo certain of the spot; nnd then, with One
stroke of his foot, dashed tho door in wards,—
It was damp and tonantless. Tho-stranger
sOt down his bundle, kindled a lire, and re
mained in quiet possession. In u few hour
the fisher returned. He started invdiumaVdy
at tho sight of the intruder, wh.o sprang to tiis
feet, ready for anal tentative.
“What-seek you in my hut 1” said tho Fish*
er;
‘A shelter far the night—the hawks are out 1*
“Who. directed you to mot”
