master to rent, for a few months, the untcnari-
ted apartments, came to Abcrleigh, and fixed
there apparently for life.
We lived in different parishes, and she de
clined company ; so that I seldom met Mrs.
Lucas, and had lost sight of her for some years,
retaining merely a general recollection of the
mild, placid, elegant mother, surrounded by
three rosy, romping,bright-eyed children, when
the arrival of an intimate friend at Aber
leigh, caused me frequently to pass the lonely
farm-house, and threw this interesting family
again under my observation.
The first time that I saw them was on a
bright summer evening, while the nightingale
was yet in the coppice, the briar-rose blossom
ing in the hedge, and the sweet scent of the
bear.-fields perfuming the air. Mrs. Lucas,
still lovely and elegant, though somewhat fu-
ded and care-worn, was walking pensively up
and down the grass path of the pretty flower
court ; her eldest daughter, a rosy bright bru
nette, with her dark hair floating in all direc
tions, was darting about like a bird ; now ty
ing up the pinks, now watoring the geraniums,
now collecting tlio fallen rose-leaves into the
straw bonnet which dangled about her arm ;
and now feeding a brood of bantams, from a
little barley measure, which that sagacious and
active colony seemed to recognise ns if by in
stinct, corning long before she culled them at
their swiftest pace, between a run and n fly, to
await with their usual noisy and hustling pa
tience the showers of grain which she slung to
them ncross the paling. It was a beautiful
picture of youth, and health, and happiness ;
and her clear gay voice, and brilliant smile,ac
corded well with a shape and motion ns light
as h butterfly, and ns wild ns the wind,
beautiful picture was that rosy lass of fifteen,
in her unconscious loveliness, and I might
have continued gazing on her longer, had I not
been attracted by an object no less charming,
although in a very different way.
It was a slight elegant girl, apparently about
a year younger than the pretty romp of the
flower garden, not unlike her in form and fea
ture, but totally distinct in colouring and ex
pression.
She sate in the old porch, wreathed with
jessamine and honeysuckle, with tho western
sun floating around her like a glory, and dis
play ing the singular beauty of her chosnut hair,
drown with a golden light, nnd the exceeding
delicacy of her smooth and finely grained com
plexion, so pale, and yet so beautiful. Her
whole face and form bad a bending and statue
like graee, increased by the ad justment of her
splendid hair, which was parted on her white
forehead, and gathered up behind in n large
knot—a natural coronet. Her eyebrows and
long eyelashes were a few shades darker than
Tho following beautiful and very parhctic story, is' her hnir, nnd singularly rich nnd beautiful.

never comahome—at least they should never
meet again—of that she was sure—she knew
it.”
This persuasion wis evidently the master-
grief of poor Jessy’s life, the cause that, far
more than her blindness, faded her check, and
saddened her spirit. How it had arisen no
one knew ; partly, perhaps, from some lurk
ing superstition, some Vile word, or idler omen
which had taken root in her mind, nourished
by the calamity which in other respects she
bore so calmly, but which left her so ofton in
darkness and loneliness to brood over her own
gloomy forebodings ; partly from her trembling
sensibility, and partly porn the delicacy of
frame and of habit whicl had always had cha
racterised the object of her love—a slender
youth, whose ardent spijit was but too apt to
overtask his body.
However it found

JESSY, OF KIBE’S FARM.
" About the centre of a deep winding and
woody lano, in the secluded viliago of Abor-
Sho wns plaiting straw rapidly nnd skillfully,
and bent over her work with a mild nnd placed
attention, a sedate pensivnness that did not be
long to her age, and which contrasted strange
ly and sadly with the gaiety of her laughing
leigh, stands an old farm-house, whoso stn-inml brilliant sister, who at this moment darted

iho orchard and an adjoining meadow, whilst I notes of a nightingale who was singing in the
the vacant rooms are tenanted by a widow in i opposito hedge; whilst I, ashamed of loitering
humble circumstnncos, nnd her young family.
“ Tho houso is beautifully situated ; deep,
as I have said, in a narrow woody lane, which
winds botwocn high hanks, now feathered with
hazels, now studded with pollards and forest
longer, passed on.
Tho noxt time I saw her,, my interest in
this lovely crenture wns increased tenfold—
for I then knew that Jessy wns blind—a mis-
r - fortune nlwnys so touching, especially in early
trees, until opposito Kibe’s Farm it widens I youth, and in her case rendered peculiarly af-
auflieiontly to admit a largo clear pond, round
which tho hedge, closely nnd tegulnrly set
with a row of tall elms, sweeps in a gruceful
curve, forming for that bright mirror a rich
leafy frame. A little way farther on the lane
again widens, and makes nn nbrupter winding
as it is crossed hy a broad shallow stream, n
branch of Loddo’n, which comes meandering
along from a chain of beautiful meadows ; then
fUrns in a narrow clmnrrlhy the side of the
road, and finully spreads itself into a large
piece of water, almost a lakelet, amidst the
rushes nnd willows of Hardy Moor. A foot*
bridge is flung over the stream, where it crosses
the lane, which with n giant cak growing on
the bank, and throwing its broad branches far
on tho opposite side, forms in every season a
pretty rural picture.
a Kibe’s farm is as picturesque ns its situation:
very old, very irrcgular.withgahlcends,cluster
ed chimneys,casement windows, a large porch,
and sortofsquaro wing jutting out even with
the porch and covered with luxuriant vines,
which has quito tho effect, especially when
seen by moon-light, of nn ivy-mantled tower.
On one side extend the ample but disused farm
buildings ; on tho other, tho old orchard,
whose treos are so wild, so hoary, and so huge,
as to convoy tho idea of a fruit forest. Behind
tho house is an amplo kitchen-garden, and be
fore,a neat flower court, the exclusive demesne
of Mrs. Lucas and her family, to whom indeed
the labourer, John Miles, and his good wife
Dinah, served in soma sort as domestics.
“ Mrs. Lucas has known far better days.
Her husband had been an officer, and died
fighting bravely in one of tho last battles
of the Peninsular war, leaving her with three
Children, one lovely boy, and two delicate girls,
to struggle through the world as best sho might.
She was an accomplished woman, and at first
settled in a great town, and endeavoured to
improve her small income by teaching music
und languages. But she was country bred ;
her children too, had been born in the country
•midst the sweetest recesses of the New Fo
rest, and pining herself for liberty, and solitude,
•nd green fields, and fresh air, she soon began
to fancy that her children were visibly deterio
rating in health and appearance, and pining for
hem also; and finding that her old servant
flinah Miles was settled with her husband in
this deserted farm-house, she applied to his
fccting by tho personal character of the indi
vidual. Wo soon bernmo acquainted, nnd
evon intimate under the benign auspices of the
kind mistress of tho rectory ; and every inter
view served to increase the interest—excited
hy tho whole family, and most of all by tho
sweet blind girl.
Never was any humnn being more gentle,
generous, and grateful, or more unfoigncdly
resigned to her calamity. Tho pensiveness
that marked her character arose, as I soon per
ceived, from a different source. Her blind
ness had been of recent occurrence, arising
from inflammation unakillfully treated, nnd
wns pronounced incurablo : but from coming
on so lately, it admitted of several alleviations,
of which sho was accustomed to speak with a
devout and tender gratitude. “ She could
work," she said, “ as well as over i nnd cut
nut, nnd write, and dress herself, and keep the
keys, nnd run errands in the houso she know
so well without making any mistake or confu
sion. Bending to be sure she had given up,
nnd drawing ; and some day or other she
would show me, only that it seemed vain,
some verses which her dear brother Wdlinra
had written upon a groupe of wild flowers,
which sho had bogun before her misfortune.”
“ Oh. it was almost worth while to bo blind
to bo tho subject of such a verse, nnd the ob
ject of such affection I Her dear mamma was
very good to her, and so was Emma; but Wil
liam—oh she wished tlint I knew William I
no one could bo so kind as ho ! It was impos
sible ! He read to her ; he walked with her ;
he taught her to feel confidence in walking
alone ; he had mndo for her use tho wooden
steps up the high bank wl ich led into Kibe’s
meadow ; be had put the hand-rail on the old
bridge, so that soon she could get across with
out danger, even when tho brook tvas flooded.
He had tamed her linnet; he had constructed
the frame, by the aid of which she could write
so comfortably and evenly ; could w rite let
ters to him, and say with a deep sigh " was
her chiof comfort now ; for William was gone
and they should never meet again—never
alive—that she was sure of—she knew it.”
But why, Jessy?” “Ob, because William
was so much too good for this world : there
was nobody like William, and ho was gone for
a soldier. Old Goneral Lucas, her lather’s,
uncle, had sent for him abroad ; had giveabim j movements, aad Nourishes of oratory eod pa^
sentiment was hanging Ike a dark cloud over
Jessy’s young life. Reasoning was useless.
They know little of thojpassions who seek to
argue with that most iltractablc of them all,
tho fear that is horn of/love ; so Mrs. Lucas
and Emma tried to ofnuse away these sad
thoughts, trusting to tjlne, to William’s letters,
and, above all, to Wdliam’s return, to eradicate
the evil
The letters came punctually and gaily ;
letters that might hate quieted the heart of any
sister in England, except the fluttering heart
of Jessy Lucas. William spoke of improved
health, of increased strength, of actual promo
tion, and expected recall. At last ho even an
nounced Ins return under auspices the most
gratifying to his mother and the most benefi
cial to her family. The tegiment was order
ed home, and the old and wealthy relation, un
der whose protection he had already risen so
rapidly, had expressed his intention to accom
pany him to Kibe’s Farm, to be introduced to
his nephew’s widow and daightcrs, especially
Jessy, for xvhonp ho expressed himself greatly
interested. A letter from General Lucas him
self, which arrived hy tho same post, was still
more explicit : it adduced tho son’s admirable
character and exemplary conduct as reasons
for befriending the mother,, and avowed his
design of providing for each of his young rela
tions, nnd of making William his heir.
For half an hour after tho first hearing of
these letters, Jessy was happy—till the period
of n winter voyage (for it wa3 deep January)
crossed her imagination, and checked her jov.
At length, long beforo they wero expected, an
other epistle arrived, dated Portsmouth. They
had sailed by the next vessel to that which
conveyed their previous despatches, and might
be expected hourly at Kibo’s Farm. Tho
voyage was passed; safely past, and the
weight seemed now really taken away from
Jessy’s heart. Sho raised her sweet face and
smiled ; yet still it wns a fearful and trembling
joy, nnd somewhat of fear was mingled oven
with the very intensity of her hope. It had
been u time of rain and wind ; and tho I.oddon
thetic, as preludes of what was to come, he
laid his right hand upon his left breast, stand
ing a little inclined towards the fair maiden,
and resting the greater weight of his body on
his left foot, and with an accompanying cast
when they unanimously requested his Lord-
ship to decide their point.
“ How gentlemen.” said Judge Hcnn, “cot
I settle it between you ! You Sir, positively
say the law is one way, and you (turning to the
of his eyes, not towards Heaven—for they i opposite party) as unequivocally affirm that it
the beautiful I.oddun. always so affluent of xva-
■terrmnr overnnv-rn rrr noTtnotmes, an rwcF pta
led the smaller streams which it fed into tor
rents.
The brook which crossed Kibe’s lano had
washed awnvpart of tho fool bridge, destroy
ing poor William’s railing, and was still foam
ing and dashing a cataract. Now that was tho
nearest way, and if William should insist on
coming that way. To be sure, the carriage
road was round by Grazoly-green ; but to
cross the brook would savo half a mile; and
William, dear William, xvould never think of
danger to get to those ho loved. These wero
Jessy’s thoughts ; the fenr seemed impossible,
for no postillion would think of breasting that
furious stream ; but the fond sister’s heart
was fluttering like a new caught bird, and she
feared she knew not what.
“ All the day she paced tho little lane, and
stopped, nnd listened, and stopped. About
sun-set, with tho nir : senso of sound which
seemed to come with her fearful calamity, and
that fine senso quickened by anxiety, expecta
tion, mid love, she heurd, or thought she heard
tho sound of a carriage rapidly advancing on
the other side of tho stream. * It is only the
noiso of rushing waters,’ cried Emma. ‘ 1
hear a carriage—the horse#—tho wheels !’ re
plied Jessy; arid darted off at onco with tho
double purpose of meeting William, and warn
ing tho postillion against tno stream. Emma
nnd her mother followed fist! fast! but xvhat
speed could vie with Jessy’s, when iho object
was William? They calfcd, hut she neither
heard nor answered. Beforo they had run to
the bend in the lane, she had reached the brook
nnd long before either of the pursuers Imd
gained the bridge, her foot had slipped from
the wet nnd tottering plank, and she was borne
resistlessly down the stream. Assistance
was immediately procured—men and roper,
and boats—for the swtot blind girl was beloved
of all,—andmanyapoormanriskedhis life in a
fruitless endeavour to Save Jessy Lucas; and
William, too, was there j for Jessy’s quickened
sense had not deceived ler. William xvns there,
struggling, with all thnstrength of love and
agony, to rescue that dmr and hopeless crea
ture. But every effort—although ho perse
vered until he too, was aken out senseless—
every effort was vain. The fair corse was
recovered, but life was dctinct. Poor Jessy’s
prediction was verified to the letter—for the
brother and his favourte sister never met
again.”
Courting Scent.—The business was enact
ed, as we have said, bv moonlight; and whe
ther fate had so ordered it, or whether tho
bull frogs were obliged to suspend their molo-
dy, to wet their whistle, we dare not pro
nounce ; but so it was, that when the lovers
commenced in nltcrtate strains, they were as
hush ns death, and not the slightest noise was
heard, but the never ending creakings of the
catadcds. Thoroughgrabb saw, that if he did
not take up the strain, Violetta would have the
first speak. Therefore, after divers manual
were too deep for such a movement—but to
wards the shaggy parapet of his eye-brows,
uttered the following words in a tone of sepul
chral tragicality:—“ Violetta Lillietta Tabitha
Killbcar, perdition catch my soul, but I do love
thee.” More said he not, but more essayed to
say. Violetta, incontinently impatient, wait
ed not to see if there were more behind ; but
forthwith replied in alternate verse : “ Oh !
Thoroughgrabb,arttlicu not fickle, as the rest ?
Men lighter are than floating cork. But,
Thoroughgrabb, mind you, marriage is a seri
ous business. Is this foolish talk one of your
flourishes or am I in good truth, to receive it
as a declaration of love ? I am for no sham in
this matter. Please to tell me in plain English
what you want of me.”
Th. Immortal powers, forgive the vilo ne
cessity, that clothes high thoughts of love in
plain and common words.
Vi. You are right, Mr. Thoroughgrabb ; if
you have any thing to say to me, say it in plain
Kentuck English.
Til. Well, Tab,' I lovo you, and want to
marry you. Will you have me, or not!
Vi. I reckon, Mr. Thoroughgrabb, I will.
Hut the white nun are very uncertain, as the
Indians say. I want you to put it down on
paper, or say it afore evidence, that I can take
the law of you, if you dont keep your word.
I reckon one must be sharp to deal xvith such
as you.
Til. Why, as to that, Tabitha, if I war’nt in
the mind, I reckon, 1 needn’t say so. As to
taking the law of one like me, that is right fun
ny. Excellent wench! I do lovo thee. Let
tho stars hear it, and the sea.
is the other way. I wish to God, Billy Har
ris, (to his register, who sat underneath) knew
what the law really was !”
“ My Lord,” replied Billy Harris, most sen-
tentiously, rising at the same moment, and
casting a despairingglance towards the bench-
“ if I possessed that knowledge, I protest to
God I would tell your Lordship with a great
deal of pleasure!"
“ Then wo’ll save the point, Billy Harris,"
exclaimed the Judge.—From, Sir Jonah Bar
rington's Sketches. •
A man who had a cause in court, said that
if he lost in the court of common pleas, he
would appeal to tho supremo court, and from
there to the U. States’ court, and from there to
Heaven. “And there,” replied a gentleman,
“ you will he a defaulter, for you will not be
present to answer foryourself, and noattornoy
is evor admitted there.”

Circumstantial Evidence.—That circum
stantial evidcnco should always he received
with caution, is a point that needs no urging,—
tho good senso of our courts andjuriou having
od sens
I It whe
here it should he, as merely eluci
datory of positive proof. A case of remarka
ble similarity of person and marks has lately
occurrod in this city, which a little legal dex
terity would have worked into an alibi.
The coroner of this city was called, the lat
ter part of last week, to hold an inquest on n
porson unknown, who had been admitted with
n recent fracture into the Pennsylvania Hospi
tal. From a loiter found on the body, the jury
framed their verdict, giving to the deceased a
name which subsequent circumstances proved
not to belong to him. A patient in tho insti
tution afterwards declared ho knew the person
well; that he had worked xvith a respectable
iron merchant and saw manufacturer of this
city, mid that ho had a wife living in a viliago
about ten miles from Philadelphia. The iron
merchant wns accordingly sent for, to identify
tho body; but, being indisposed, ho sent his
son in bis place, who knew tho man, and de
clared, upon examination, the body to be bis.
In the mean timo the letter found upon the bo
dy was sent to its direction, and tho man, the
finding of the jury declared to be dead, was
ascertained to be alive, though in “ durance
vile.” To settle the question boyond the pos
sibility of doubt, the iron merchant himself at
last came to viow the body, who declared prior
to examining it, that there wero three marks in
particular by which he could identify it; in the
first place, his face was marked with powder,
ir> the second, a deep scar was in his hand
near the wrist, which he had received from tho
explosion of rocks,and tho third was o, finger re
markably crooked. Each of theso marks cor
responded exactly with those on the body of
the deceased, and the question appeared placed
boyond the possibility of doubt.
Nothing now remained, but to inform the
widow of the death of her husband, end leave
the corpse to her direction. Tho coroner,
therefore, had the body removed to a place of
security, and sent the necessary word to tho
widow, xvho came to the city to view the body.
The particular marks were detailed to her, all
of which perfectly agreed with those of her
husband, to which were superadded those of
hair, complexion, height, &c.—but she added,
that her husband had lost a joint of the finger
next tho little finger, the bone of which she
had still in her possession. The body was
again examined in the presence of her brother,
and there was no joint wanting : nnd thus was
overthrown as complete achain ofcircumstan-
tial proof as ever eventuated in nothing—nnd
the body has at last been interred as that of a
person unknown.—V. S. Ga:.
Old Judge Hcnn (a very excellent private
