THE WIVE It’S LAST VISIT.
The window of the lonely cottage of Hiltop
xvbs beaming far above the highest birch-wood,
w eming to travelers at a distance, in the long
valley below, who knew it not, to be a star in
the fkv- A bright fire was in the kitchen of
that small tei ement; the floor was washed,
swept, and sanded, and not a footstep had mar.
Led its perfect neatness; a small table was cov.
ered, near the ingle, with a snow-wlnle cloth
on which was placed a frugal evening meal; and
in htppv, but pensive mood sat there all alone
the Woodcutter’s only daughters comely ard
~C r t’e creature, it not beautifit’, such an rn a<
Jiifiuses pleasu'e r< und her in the hay field, and
serenity over the seat in which she sits intern
tively oil tlm Sabba'h, listening to the word of
God, or joining with mellow voice in his praise
and worship. On this night, she expected a
visit from her lover, that they might fix their
marr age day; and her parents, satisfied and
happy that their child was about to be wedded
to a respectable shephf rd, and gone to pay a
visit to their nearest neighbor in the glen
A feebie and hesitating knock was at lhe
door, not line the glad and joyful touch of a lov
ei’s hand; and cautiously opened it. Mary Bob
insun belield a female figure wrapped up in a
cloak, with her fce concealed in a h lac bon
net This strangev, whoever she might be,
seemed wearied and worn out, and her feet
bore witness to a long day’s travel across the
marshy mountains; Although she c old scarce
ly help considering her an Unwelcome visiter
at such an hour, yet Mary had too much sweet
ness of disposition—too much htimapilv, not to
request her to Hep forward into the but; for it
seemed as if the-wearied woman .had lost her
way. and had come toward? tbe 4 shjp'mg window

the fire;-ami Mary Uohiusoit beheld the face of
whom, in youth, she had tenderly- loved—
silthuugli for some years past, the distance at
Which they lived from each other had kept
them from meeting, and only a.Mtggjteiwo,
-wrtHen- in their simple way, had given them a
few notices of each other’s existence. And
~„) W Alary had onportimi,ty, in the first speech
‘less gaze of recognition, to : mark the altered
free ot her friend—and her heagt was touched
with an ignorant compassion “For mercy’s sake!
*;t-down, Sarah! Slid TeU toe what evil has be
fallen you; for you are as white as a ghost Fear
not to confide any thing to my bosom,’ we have
herded -sheep together on the lonesome braes— |
y.p |, M vp stripped the bark together in the more
lonesome woods—we have played, laughed,
sung, danced together—we have talked me
ri.'y and gaily, but innocently enough sure
ly of .sweethearts together—and Sarah, gra
vec tlrnights, too, have we shaved, for, when
your poor brother died away like a frosted fl< w
*er, 1 wept as if I hud been his sister; nor can I
evets.be *b happy in this world as to forget him.
T ell ine, my friend, wliy are you heel? and wily
is'yoilr sweet face so ghastly?”.-
The heart of this Unexpected visiter died
within-her at these kind and affectionate inqui
ri> s. For'she had coine on an errand that was
likely to dash the jny f|'om that happy co .nttm
ancs. fl"r heart upbraided her with the mean
res-! of the purpose for which she.bad paid this
vls'ti'but tliat was only a passing thought; for
van she, innocent and free from sin, to submit,
net only to desertion, but to disgrace, and not
trust herself and her wrongs and her hopes of
redress to her whom she loved as a sister, and
v- liose generous nature she well knew, note
ven hive the changer of so nfiany things, could
change ntlerh; though, indeed, it might render
itycoider than of old to the angu.sh of a female
friend?-
“ til Mary. I must speak—yet must my words
make you grieve, far less for me than for your
self. Wretch,that I am—l bring evil tiding
into the dwelling of my dearest friend! These

M wy Robinson had let’ a happy Kfo, but a life
of quiet tl.uughts, tranquil hopes, and meek de
sir s. Tenderly ansi truly did sue love the man
to whom she was now betrothed; but it was be
cusc site Lad thought iiim gentle,manly, up
ri ht. sincere, and one that reared God. Bis
c araefer ...is unimoeaclied—'o her his beba
vio r t.ail a 1 ways been loud, affectionate, atic!
re Ici Tu'; i bat be vas a line looking man, ami
couil -.lion h-insfir among the best of the coun
try round at church, and market, and fair day,|
sue and felt with pleasure and with pride
But in the heart of this poor, humble, conten-1
ted, and pious girl, love was not a violent pass- !
ion, hut an affection sweet and .profound. She I
looked forward to her marriage.with a joyful
V-edateness, knowing that she would have to toil ‘
for her.family, if blest with children; but happy
in the thought of keeping her husband’s house
clean—of preparing his ft ugal meals, and wel
coming him when Wearied at night, to her faith
ful and affectionate, and grateful bosom.
At first, perhaps, a light flush of anger to
wards Sar&h tinged her cheek; then followed in
quick succession, or all blended together in
one sickening pang, fear, disappointment the
sense of wrong and the cruel pain of disesteem
itig and despising one on whom her heart had
rested with all its best and purest affection
But though there was a keen struggle between
many feelings in her heart, her resolution was
formed dating that very conflict; and she said
within h..rseif, “If it be even so, neither Will I
be so unjust as to deprive poor Sarah of the man
who ought to marry her, nor will I be somean
and low spirited, poor as I am, and dear as he
has been unto me, as to become bis wife.”
. While these thoughts were calmly passing in
tfrfe soul of this magnanimous girl, all her for
mer affection for Sarah revived; and, as she sigh
ed (hr herself, she wept alouo for her friend. —
“Be quiet, Sarah, and sob not so as if your heart
Were breaking. It necu not to be thus with
you. Oh! sob not so sair! You surely have not
walked in this one day from the heart of the
parish of Mor.trnth?” “I have indeed done so,
and lam as weak as the wretched snaw God
knows, little matter if I should die away; for,
after alt, I fear he will never think of me for his
wife, and you, Mary, will lose a husband with
whom you would hare been happy I feel, af
ter all, 1 must appear* mean wretch in your
eyes ”
There was silence between them; and Mary
Robinson, looking at the clock, saw that it wan
ted only about quarter of an hour from the time
oftryst. ‘ Give me the oaths and promise” ycu
mentioned out of your bosom, Sarah, that I may
show them to Gabriel when he comes. And
once more I promise, by all the sunny and the
snowy days we have sat together, in the same
plaid on the hillside, or in the lonesome char
coal plots and nests o’ green in the woods, that
if my Gabriel, —did I say my Gabriel?-- has for
saken you and deceived me thus, never shall
his lips touch mine again,—never shall he put
ring on my finger,—never shall this head lie in
liisliosom, —no, never, never; notwithstanding
all the happy, too happy hours and day* I have
been with him, nearer at a distance, —on the
corn-rig,—among the meadow-ha;, —in the
t mg'ng scho. ]( at harvest-home,—in this room,
and in God’s own house. So help me God, but
I will keep this vow!”
Poor Sarah told, in a few hurried words, the
story of her love and desertion, —how Gabriel
whose business as a shepherd often took him
into Montrath palish, had \vooedher, and fixed
every thing about their marriage, nearly a year
ago. But that he had become causelessly jeal
ous of a young man a horn she scarcely knew;
had accused her of want of virtue, and for many
months had never once come to see her “This
morning, for the first time, I heard, for a cer
tainty, from one who knew Gabriel well, and all
his concerns, that the banns had been proclaim
ed in the church between him and you; and
that, in a day or two, you were to be married.—
And though 1 felt drowning, I determined to
make a struggle for my life—for Oh! Mary Ma
ry, my heart is not like your heart; it wants
your wisdom, your meekness, j our piety; and
if. 1 am to lose Gabrie', will I destroy my misera
ble life, and face the wratii of God sitting in
judgment upon sinners.”
AtJj^S^^Sre^tT^t she £dc™
nutted blasphemy.—Mary seeing her wearied,
hungry, thirsty, feverish, spoke to her in the
most soothing manner; led her into the little
parlour called the Spence, then removed into
it the table, with the oaten cakes, butter and
milk; and telling her to take some refreshment,
aiul then lie down on the bed, but on no ac
count to leave the room till called fur, gaveJicr
| a sisterly kiss, and left her. In a few minutes
the outer-door opened, and Gabriel entered.
.The lover said, “ Wow is my sweet Mai v ?”
with a beaming and gently draw
ling her to his bosom, lie kissed her cheek
I Alary did not—could pot—wished not—at once
to release hfcrse'f fixmri iiis enfolding arms. Ga- ,
bricl had always trefoil her as the woman who
wjs to be his wife; and though at this time her
heart knew ats owii b*Hemes, yet she repeilel
not endeattfients that were so latelv delightful, I
and suffered him to take her almos’t in his arms !
to their accustomeiV&eat.’ He held her hand (
m his, andb’egan to in his usual kind and
affectionate’ language Kind and affectionate
it was, for though he ought not to have done
so, he loved her, as he thought, better than his *
life.. Herhemt could not iiuone small, short
hour forget>a whole yffear of bliss. She could
not yet Hhifc awaySSuth her own hand what, on- .
ly a few minui.eS ago, deemed to her the hope
of paradise. He soub Sickened within her, and
she wisheiLtJiat she wyre dead, or never had {
been born.’ • ’ <
“ Gabriel I Gabriel (.well indeed have tloved
you;, nor will-1 say, all that has passed be
tween us,“that you are not deserving, alter all,
of a better love than mine. Vain were if to de
ny my love either to you, or to my own soul.—
But look me in the face—be not wrathful
think not to hide the truth, either from yourself
or me, for that now i* impossible,—but tell me
solemnly, as you shall answer lo God at the
judgment-day, if you know any reason why I
must riot be your wedded wife?”’ She ke pi
her miid, moist eyes fixed upon him; hut lie
hung down his head, and uttered not a word
tor he was guilty before her, before his own
soul, and before God.
“Gabriel, never could we have been happy-,
for you often told me, that! all the secrets of
your heart were known uiito me, yet liever dii
you tell me this. How could you desert the
poor innocent creature that loved you; and how
could you U3C me so, who loved you perhaps
as well as she, but whose heart God will teach, •
not to forget you, tor that l may never do, but
to think on you with that friendship and affec
tion which innocently I can bestow upon you,
when you aie Sarah’s husband. For, Gabriel,
I have this night sworn, not in anger or passion
—no, no—but in sorrow and pity for another’s
wrong, in sorrow also, deny it will I not, for my I
own, to look on you from this hour, as on’
one whose life is to be led apart from my life, j
md'. whose love must never more meet with my I
love. Speak not unto me, look not on me with’
beseeching eyes. Duty and religion forbid us!
crer to beman and wile. But you know there i
is ona, besides me, whom you loved before you
loved me, and, therefore, it may be better tool
and that she feves you, and is faithful, as if God
had made you one, 1 say without fear,l who
nave known her since she was a chili', although
fatally for the peace of us both, we have lived a
part.” Sarah is in the house, and I will bring
nerun'oyoui n tears, but not tears of penitence, j
for she is as innocent of that sin as l am who;
now speak.”
Miry welt itlto the little parlour, and led
Sarah forwad in her hand. Despairing as she
bd been, jpt when she had heard from poor
Mary’* speaking so fervently, that Gabriel hud
come, and that her friend was interceding in
her behalf,-the poor girl had arrange her hair
in a small ldoking glass,—tied it up with a rib
band which Gabriel had given her, and put in
to the breast of her gown a little gilt broach
that contained locks of their blended hair
Pale but beautiful, for Sarah Pringle was the
fairest girl in all the country, she advanced with
a flush on that paleness of reviving hope, in
jured pride, and love that was ready to forgive
all anu forget all, so that once again she cou,ld
be resorted to the place in lust heart that she
had lost “What bave I ever done, Gabriel,
thatyou should fling me from you? May my
soul never five by the atonement of my Saviour,
if I am not innocent of that sin, yea, of ali dis •
tant thought of that sin with which you, even
you, have in your bard-hearttdness charged
me. Look me in the face, Gabriel, and think
of all 1 have been unto you, and if you say that
before God, and in your own sou 1 , you be
live me guilt), then will I go away out in the
. dark night, and, long before morning, my
troubles witl be at an end.”
Truth was not only in her fervent and simple
words, but in the tone of her voice, the color of
her face, and the light of her eyes. Gabrie!
had long shut up Ins heart against her. At first,
he had doubted her virtue,and that doubt gradu
a% weakened his affection At last, he tried
to believe her guilty, or to forget her altogeth
er; when his heart turned to Mary Robinson,
and he thought of making her his wife. His
injustice- his wickedness—his hardness—which
he had so long concealnd, hr some measure,
1 from himself, by a dim feeling of wrong done
him, and afterwards by the pleasure of anew
love, now appeared to him as they were, and
witout disguise. Mary look Sarah’s hand and
placed it within that of h>>r contrite lover, for
had the tunm’t of conflicting passions allowed
him to know his own soul, such at that moment
he surely was,saying with a voice as composed
as the eyes with wbi h she lo ked upon them,
“I restore you to each other and I already feel
the comfort of being able to do my du*y. 1 will
be bride’s-mai l. And I now implore the bles
ing of God upon ) our marriage, Gabriel, yous
betrothed will sleep this night in my bosom.—
We will think of you better, perhaps, than you
deserve. It is not for me to tell you what you
have to repent of Let us all three pray ‘for
each other this night, and evermore when we
are on our knees before our Maker. The old
people will soon be at home. Good night, Ga
briel.” He kissed Sarah —and, giving Mary a
look of shame, humility, and reverence, he
went home to meditation and repentance.
It was now midsummer; and before the har
vest had been gatherd! in throughout the high •
er valleys, or the sheep brought from the moun
tainfold, Gabriel tnd Sarah \> ere man and wife.
Time past on, and a blooming family cheered
their board ami fireside. Nor did Mary Robin
son, the flower of the forest, (for so the wood
cutter’s daughter was often called) pass her
life in single blessedness. She, too, became a
wife and mother; nil the two families who liv
ed at last on adjacent farms, were remarkable
for mutual affection, throughout all the parish;
and more than one intermarriage took place oe
tw.een them, at a time when the worthy par
ents had. almost entirely forgotten the trying
incident <?f their youth.

An elderly gentleman, who lately died

tbe .oid gentleman’s request was complied j
with. To the great sui prise and astonish-I

amination it was discovered to be perfectly
petreiied, its specific gravity was about the
same as that of common lime stone. The
coffin was entirely decayed. Her counte

that her husband,it is said, on beholding
her, fainted away.

A company of English emigrants, con
sisting of about 50 souls, arrived here last
j w *eek, from Qiehec.hu their way to join the
English colony planted by Air. Birheck,
in Illinois. They have with them youn®
cattle, hogs, geese, toe. which they have
orought with them Tom England. The
whole company is in good health and hi®h
| spirits. These people came out as emi-
I grants to the Canadas, and by landin® at
Quebec, have helped to swell the lists of
“emigrants to the provinces,” that have
been published, from time to time in that
city. Hundreds find their way across
