Has been usurped by passion, and profaned
To ils unholy uses through all time,
Still, the eternal principle is pure;

And in foe yearning tenderness of a child
For every bird that sings above its bead,
And every creature feeding on foe bills,
And every tree, and flower, and running

Find any tiling to hate but human pride.

I was no sooner in bed than I foil into a t
deep sleep, ami had a dream that made foe' (
strongest impression upon me. I thought j
tbatT had arrived at foe same-fown, but in
the middle of -the day instead of the evening, I
as Was really foe case, that I had stopped, at )
the very nne inn, and gone out immediate- «
ly as an unoccupied stranger would do, to l
•be whatever was "worthy of observation in
the place. I walked down the main street <
into another sireet, crossing it at right an- 1
gles, and apparently leading into the conn- l
try. Iliad not gone very far .when I came j
to. a church, the Gothic .portal of' which I :
stopped to examine. When I had; satisfied i
my curiosity, I advanced to a bye path which ]
branched, off from foe main street Obey-. ;
ing an impulse which I could neither ac- j
count for nor control,! struck into this path,
though it was winding, rugged, and unfre- i
quented, and presently reached .a^miseva’jlu i
cottage, in front of which was a garden coy- ’
eredwifo weeds. I had no difficulty in get- <
'ting into the garden, for the hedge had sev- j
eral gaps in it wide enough to admit four i
carts abreast. I approached an eld well -
which stood, solitary and gloomy, in a dis- ]
tant corner, and looking down into it I be
held distinctly, without any possibility of i
mistake, a corpse which had been stabbed in
several places. I counted the deep wound*
and the wide gashes whence the blood was •
flowing. I would have cried ont. bat my
tongue clove to the roof of my -mouth. At
this moment I awoke with my hair on end,
trembling in every limb, and cold drops of
perspiration bedewing iny forehead—awoke ,
to find myself comfortably in bed, ttiy trunk
standing beside me; birds warbling cheer
fully arpnnd foe window ; whilst a young
clear Voiee was singing a provincial air in
the next room, and the morning son wai .
shining brightly through the curtains.
I sprang from my bed, dressed myself as ,

over. and the-table was cleared, a third
yoang lady, very neatly dressed, entered
foe room; and Was formally introduced to
him as one of the sisters—Mias Sarah.
He was not a little surprised to find that
the neat servant-girl, whose handiwork had
won bis admiration, was one of the" sisters.
He-found her sprightly, cheerful, qs accom
plished, and he thought, a little more grace
ful than Jane, who was older, or Charlotte,
who.was younger than herself. He thought
a little mere meanly of himself for having
taken her to be foe hired girl of the family;
but not a whit more meanly of himself for
' having revealed herself in that capacity;
and her perplexity was some-what increased
as he sat down on his bedside in the cham
ber to which he wks shown by his host, and
