As I walked along, iny mind ivtw iosensi- ly filled with a crowd of pleasant images of oral winter life, that helped me gladly on- .anls over many miles of ntoor.

We are gratified in having it in our power to present to our readers so rich a repast. It represents one of the most interesting scenes, and is de scribed in the most lively and affectionate manner; so much so, that it is impossible for ttiose who have known the affection of a parent, or tile endearments of connubial hap piness, to read ii without emotion. Those who can shed tears, will not restrain them here. The characters are very striking.— That of the Parson, whose white head had felt the peltings of so many wintry storms, and ivlto seemed almost an emblem of that season, from national peculiarities, is not so familiar and pleasing to us ; but hid diligence in the performance of his parochial duties, notwithstanding the inclemency of the sea son, is a noble example, well becoming his Sacred office. The feelings of the little grand son, half fearing, half hoping, will be familiar to tliose who have seen a parent suffering under sickness, &. apparently near the grave, iseil to then themselves to make and have promise anv sacrifice, to perform any duty, however difficult, if that precious life might only be spared. The affection which nature instils into a child, and which parents ought to in spire, we see as' it were transferred to the grandfather, ivlm hail performed the duties o! a father towards him. Nor is the daugh ter less prettily described. She appears so long to have silently mourned the miscon duct of a husband, with the loss of other friends, that her heart seemed ready to ad mit grief, because it had so frequently and familiarly entered it. But when we. are in troduced to the dying Elder, we behold re ligion in all its beauty, and anticipate for tlie good old man the. joy and crown which he ts leaving us to inherit. We view him at the end of his labors, going to take possession of the promised rest, and whilst we are affect ed, we rejoice in his happy dismission, flow tenderly, even in his last moments, does he Weak ot his wife, and assure the surround ing friends that he had never forgotten her. A new scene takes place when the prodigal son enters. What strength of affection does the °ld man exhibit, notwithstanding the ma ny provocations which'he has received. lie does not upbraid him with past misconduct, but only ardently hopes that his future life will ho belter ; even his neglected wife pleads for him, and cannot endure the sternness of the Parson. And they all kneel round the good old man, to receive his patriarchal bles sing. On the whole, it is a most lively and interesting talc ; the whole group are execu ted to the life, and are introduced with the ait of the finest painter.—.V*. I*. Spectator. It was on a fierce and howling winter day that I was crossing the dreary Moor of Au- chindotlur, tm-my wav to the Manse of that parish, a solitary pedestrian. The snow which hud been incessantly failing for ;i week past, was drifted into beautiful but dange rous wreaths, far and wide over the melan choly expanse—and the scene kept visibly ■shifting before me, as the strong wind that blew Irom every point of the compass struck t!ie dazzling masses, and heaved them up & down in endless transformation. There was somethin? inspiriting in the labor, with which, in the buoyant strength of youth. 1 fbreed my way through the storm—and I could not but enjoy those gleamiiws of sun light. that ever and anon burst through some unexpected opening in the sky, and gave a character of cheerfulness, and even warmth to the sides or summits of the stricken hill: Sometimes the wind stopped of n sudden, and then the air was as silent *• the snow— ft,—the whole face of the sky was softened, often#. ixi brightness, like a smile, mint over the j. *' on flushing and crimsoned snow. The very e- tt.tn houaxmients seemed then to respect the hoary tyeod of four score—and after out first greet,- ' in? was over, when I looked around, in my affection, L felt how beautiful wtts winter. “ I am going,” said he, “ to visit a man at /the point of death—a man whom you can not have forgotten—whose head will lie missed in the kirk next Sabbath by all my congregation; a devout man, tvho feared God all his days, and whom, on this awful trial, God will assuredly remember, i was going, my son, to the Hszlc-Glcn,” I knew well in childhood that lonely farm house, so fur off among the beautiful, wild green hills—and it war not likely that I had forgotten the name of its possessor. For six years’ Sabbaths I h id seen the ELiiF.it in his accustomed place beneath the pulpit— and, with a sort of solemn four, had looked on his stedfast countenance din ing sermon, psalm a.id prayer. On returning to the scenes of my infancy, I now met the Pastor, going to pray by his death-bed ; arid with the privilege which nature gives us to behold, even in their last extremity, the loving and the beloved, i agreed to accompany him to the house of sorrow, resignation and death. And now, for the first time, i observed, 'walking close to the feet of his horse, a little boy ot about ten years of age, who kept fre quently looking up in the Pastor’s face, with his blue eyes bathed in tears. A changeful expression of grief, hope and despair, made almost pale, checks tint otherwise were blooming in health and beauty—and I recog nized, in the small features and smooth fore head of childhood, a resemblance to the aged m in whom we understood was now lying on his death-bed. “ They had to send his grandson for me through the snow, mere child as he. is,” said the Minister to me,look ing tenderly at the hoy : “ but hue makes the young heart hold; mul there is One who tempers tin* wind to the. shorn lamb.” I a- gaiu looked on the fearless child with ids rosy cheeks, blue eyes, and yellow hair, so unlike grief or sorrow, yet now sobbing a- loud as his heart would break. “I do not fear but that my grand-father will yet reco ver, soon as the minister has said one singli prayer by Ids bed side. I had no hope, or little, as 1 was running by myself to the Manse over liili after hill, but I am full of hopes noiv that we -are. together; and oil! if God suffers my grandfather to recover, l will lie atvKe all the long winter nights, blessing hit* for his I will rise up in the mid A of th^Hkness, and pray to him in the naked knees!” and here his voicewHKnked. while he kept his eyes fixed, as if for consolation and encou ragement, on tiic solemn and, pitying coun tenance of the kind-hearted,fwius old man. We soon left the mein road, and struck oil' through scenery^ that, covered as it was with the bewilderinglRnow, I sometimes dimly sometimes vividly remembered ; our little guide keeping ever a short distance before us, and with a sagacity like that of instinct, shewing us our coursaMuf which no trace was visible, savaug^^mnidiy liri rtfrn litlle foot-prints as hcTiud been l^ffying to the Manse. After crossing, for snrriJr miles, ntorass, and frozen rivulet, and drived hollow, with here and there the top of Zstone-wall peep ing through tin’ snow, orwhe more visible circle of a sheep-blight, we. descended into the Hazle-Glen, and saw before us the solitary house of the dying Elder. A gleam of days gone by came suddenly over my soul. Tile last time that I had been in this glen was on a day of June, fif teen years before, a holiday, the birthday' of the king. A troop of laughing school boys, headed hy uur benign Pastor, we danced li ver the sunny braes, and startled the linnets from their nests among the yellow broom. ' Austere as seemed to us, the Elder’s sabbath fiicf, wlan sitting in the kirk, we . bool- hoys knew that it had its week-day smiles— mil we Hew on the w ings of joy to our an nual festival of curds and cream, in the farm house of that little sylvan world. AVc rejoic- d in the (lowers unu the leaves of that long, that interminable summer-day; its memory was with our boyish hearts front June to June; and the sound of that sweet name, “ Ilnzlc-0leu,” often came upon us at our tasks, and brought too brightly into the school-mom, the pastoral imagery of that faithful solicitude. As w e now slow ly approached llie cottage, through a deep snow-drift, which the (lis ter:;;, within had prevented the liouseliuld from removing, we saw, peeping out from the door, brothers ami sisters of our little guide, w ho quickly disappeared, and then their mother showed herself in their stead, expressing, by her raised eyes and arms fid ded across her breast,how thankful she w as to see, at last, the Pastor, beloved in joy, and trusted in trouble. Soon as the venerable old man dismount ed from hi.s horse, our active lit tic* guide led it away into the humble stable, ana we cn- tered the cottage. Not a sound was heard hut t he to king of the clock. The matron w ho had silently welcomed ns at the door, led us, will) suppressed sighs and a face stain ed with w eeping, into her father's sick room whirl) even in that time of sore distress, was ns orderly as if health had blessed the house. I could not help remarking some old Chinn ornaments on the chimney-piece—and in the window was an ever-blowing rose-tree that almost touched the lofty roof, & bright enc.d that and of the apartment with it: blossoms. There was something tasteful in the simple furniture.; and it seemed as if grief could riot deprive the hare! of that *na Iron of its careful elegance. Sickness, al most hopeless siclinc: s, ley there, surroun ded with the same cheerful and beautifu objects which health kail loved : and she, who had arranged and adorned the apart ment in her happiness, still kept it from dis order and decay in her sorrow. ■With a gent'e hand she drew the curtain Of tin* bed, and there, supported by pillows as white as the snow that lay without, repo sed the dying Elder. It w as plain that the hand of God was upon him, and that liis days on the. earth were numbered. lie greeted liis minister wr'di a faint svnife, and a slight inclination of the, head—for Ids daughter had so raised him on the pillows that he was almost sitting tip in his bed. it was easy to see that he knew himself to he dying, and that his soul was prepared I'm- the great change; yet along with the solemn re signation of a Christian who has made his peace with God and his Saviour, there was blended on Ids while and sunken counte nance, tm expression of habitual reverence for tlir. minister of his faith ; and 1 saw that he could not have died in pence without! that comforter to pray by his death-bed. A few words sufficed to tell who was the stranger—and the dying man blessing me hy name, held out to me his cold shrivelled hand in token of recognition. 1 took my seat at a small distance from the. bed-side, and left a closer station for those, who were in ore dear. The Pastor sat down near his head—and hy the bed, leaning on it with gentle hands, stood that matron, his daugh ter-in-law ; a figure that w ould have graced and sainted a higher dwelling, and whose na tive beauty was now more touching in its grief, lint Religion upheld her whom na ture was bowing down ; and now for the first time were the lessons taught hy her fa ther lie put in practice, for 1 saw that she was eftthed in deep mourning—and she be haved like the daughter of a man whose life had not only been irreproachable hut lofty, with fear and hope fighting desperately bn! silently in the core of her pure and pious heart. While we thus remained in silence, the beautiful liny, who, at the risk of his life, brought the Minister of Religion to the bed side of his beloved grandfather, softly and cautiously opened the door, and with Bin hoarfrost yet uninvited on iiis bright giis- loiiiog ringlets, walked up to the pillow, evi dently no stranger there. He no longer sobbed—ho no longer weeped—fur hope had risen strongly within his innocent heart, from the consciousness of love so •fearlessly exerted, and from the presence of the Indy man in whose prayers he trusted, as In the intercession of some superiour and heavenly* nature. There he stood, still as an image in his grandfather’* eyes, that, in then' dim ness, fell upon him with delight. Yet, happy as was the trusting child, Ins heart was de voured by fear—and he looked ns if one word might stir up the, flood off tears that had subsided in his heart. As he crossed tiic dreary k, dismal moors, be had thought of a corpse, a sin mid and a grave ; lie had been in terror lest death should strike in his absence., the old man with whose grey hairs hr. had so often played ; but. now ho gnu; him aiive., and felt that death was nut able to tear him away from the clasps and links and fetters of his grandchild’s embracing love. “ If the storm do not abate,” said the sick man, after a pause, i: it will he hard for my friends to carry me over the drifts to the kirk-yard.” This sudden approach to the grave, struck, as with a bar of ice, the heart of the loving hoy ; anil with a long deep sigh, he fell down w ith his face like ashes on the bed, while the old man’s palsied right hand had just strength to lay itself upon his head. “ Blessed be thou, my little Jamie, even for his own name’s sake who died for us on the tree!” The mother, without terror, hut with an averted face, lifted up her loving hearted hoy, now in a dead fainting fit, and carried him into an adjoining room, where he soon revived; hut that child and that old man Were not to be separated ; in vain was he asked to go to his brothers anil sis. ters ; pale, breathless and shivering,'Ito took his place as before,with eyes fixed on his grandfather’s face, hut neither weeping nor uttering a word. Terror had frozen up the blood of his heart ; but his were now the on ly dry eyes in the room ; and the Parson himself wept, albeit the grief of fourscore is seldom vented in tears. “ God has been gracious to me, a sinner,” said thedying man. “During thirty years that 1 have been an Elder in your Kirk, nev er have I missed sitting there one Sabbath When tlie mother of my children was taken from mi—it was on a Tuesday she died— and on Saturday she was buried. We stood together when my Alice was letdown into the narrow I « tse made for all living. On the Sabbath 1 joined in the pnbliek worship nT God—she commanded me to do so the night before she went away. I could not join in the psalm that Sabbath, for her voice was not in the throng. Her grave was co vered up, and grass and (lowers grew there ; so was my heart: but Thou, whom, through the blood of Christ, I hope to see this night in Paradise, knowest, that from that hour to this daj , never have 1 forgotten Thee !” The old man ceased sneaking—and his grandchild, now able to endure the scene, for strong passions are their own support, glided roflly to a little table, and liringiir a tup in wliieh a cord lid had been mixed, ijrld it in liis small soft hands to lie gralidtnthj i s lips. Jle drunk, and then Baid, 1 Come close to me, Jamie, and kiss me lor ill) own tend thy father’s sake ; and as the child loudly pressed liis rosy lips on the ' n| hi* grand father, so white and withered, the tears ii-ll over all the old man's lace, and then trickled down on the golden head ol the child atla.-t sobbing in his tmsqin. “ Jamie, thy own father h(S forgotten thee in thy infancy, and me in my old age ; hut, Jamie, forget not thy father nor thy mother, for that thou knowest and livlest is the com mandment of God.” The broken-hearted hov rtmld give no re ply, He had gradually stolen closer and closer unto the old lining man, and now was tying, worn out with sorrow, drenched and dissolved in tears, in his grandfather’s bo som. His mother had soak down on her knees, and hid her face with her hands.— “ Oh ! if my husband knew hut of this, hr would never never desert hi' dying father !” and I now knew that the elder was praying for a disobedient and wicked son.. At this all’ eting time the minister took th‘ Family Bible on his knees, and said, “ Let us sing to the praise aul glory ol God, part ol the fifteenth l’mtlm,” U he read w it It a tremulous and broken word, those beauti ful verses: Within thy tabernacle, f ord, W lio shall nhiile. w ith thee ? Anil in thy high and holy hill Who shull u dw eller hr ' The men that walketli uprightly., \nd worketli ciglilcotisnP'S. And ns lie thiaki tli in liis heart, So doth lie truth express The small congregation sung tiic nnldi hymn of the. Psalmist to “ Plaintive martyr* w orthy of the name.” The dying man him- elf, ever ami anon, joined in Ihe holy nutsiek and when it feebly died aw iv on liis quiv ering lips, lie continued still to follow the tune with the. motion of his withered hand, and eyes devoutly and hiunhly lifted up to heaven. Nor was the swerl voice of liis loving grandchild unheard ; a il’the strong (it of deadly passion had dissolved in the mu- sick, he sam; with a sweat mul silvery voice, that to ap sscr hy had seem d that of per fect happiness—a hymn sin;:, in joy upon its knees by gladsome diiiilliood le t'ore it Hew out among the green liili-', to quiet la bor or gleesomo play. As that sweetest voice came from the bosom i ; the. old man, where the singer lay in afiectimi, and blend ed w ith his own so tremulous, never had 1 felt so ufftTtmgly brought before me tiie beginning and the end of life, the credit and tiie. grave. Ere the psalm was over, II;' door was o- nened, and a tall, fine looking man entered, nut with a low ering end dark countenance; seemingly in sorrow , in miser; and remorse. Agitated,-confounded and awe struck by the melancholy and dirgelila* mnsiek, lie sat down on a chair—and looked with a ghastly face towards liis foliai’s death-lied. When the psalm ceased, tiie Elder said with a solemn voice, “My son—t! mi art come, in time to receive thy father’s Messing. May the remembrance of what will happen in this room, before the morning again shine over the Hazle-Glen, win flier from the er- rour of thy ways. Thou art (hereto witness the mercy of thy God and thy Saviour, whmn thou Last forgotten. The minister looked, if not with a stern, yet with an upbraiding countenance, on the young mail, who Irul not ivi-ovcred liis speech, and said, “ Wiiliam ! fur three years past your .shadow has not dark aed the door of the house of Cod. They niio fear not the thunder, may tremble at t'.e still small voice—now is the hour for rqientartce— that your father’s spirit may, carry up to Heaven, tidings of a contrite soiti saved front the company of sinners !” The young man with much effort, advan ced ti. The bed-side,-and at la - 1 found void to say, “ Father—I am not wit.unit: the af fections of nature; and / hurried home soon as l heard that the-minister bud been riding towards our house. I liupe that you will yet recover—and if I havi ever made you-unhappy, I ask your lbrgoeness—for though I may not think as you tie on matters of religion,. I have a human heart. Father ! I may have been unkind, but I a :t not cruel. I ask your forgiveness.” “ Come near to me, William, ,;nw ! down by my bed side, and let my land find the head off my beloved son—lor blindness is coming fast upon me.

William, when there was none near me—e>in as Da : - vid wept for Absalom—for thee, my son, my son !” A long deep groan was the only reply : tut the whole body of tiie kneeling man was convulsed ; and it w as easy to nee his suffer ing, liis contrition, his remorse, aul his des pair. The Pastor said, with a sterner voice, and austerer countenance than ' ere natu ral to him, “ Know you whose Ik id in now lying-on your rebellious head ? Hut what signifies the word father to him win has de nied God, the Father of us all“ Oil ! press him not so hardly,” said tin weeping wife, coming forward from the daik corner of the room, where tfia- had tried tu conceal herself in grief, tear and shame, “ ..u-e, oh ! spate my husband—he has ever hrii, kind to me,” and with that she knelt dnv n beside him, with her long, soft, white an,, mourn fully and affectionately laid acres- his neck. “ Go thou likew ise, my sweet littk James ” said tlie Elder, “ go even out of niy bosom, and kneel down beside Ihy father and thy mother, so that I may bless you allot onre, and with one yearning prayer.” The child did as that solemn voice columns led and knelt down somewhat timidly hy Is father’s side : nor did that unhappy man di line en circling with his arm the child too i .ueh ne glected, but still dear to him as ins own Mood in spite of his deadening and debasire; iutlu- e.nco of infidelity. “ Put the Word of God into the hinds of my soo, and let him read aloud to Ir, dying father the 25th. 20tli. and 27tli verse 0 f the. eleventh chapter of the Gospel acre t„ St. John.”—The Pastor went up t„ kneelers, and, with a voice of pity, condo le.:e.e, and pardon, said. “ There wa- ;t time w lien none, William, could read the Su-jptures belter than couldst thou—can it be jbe son of my friend hath forgotten Hu fi ssons of his youth ?” He had not forgottrr them— then was no need for the reppnta t sinner to lift up liis eyes from Ihe bed-sit 1 ...
