them objects of pleasure—yellow, with
ered, dwarfed and broken, they .were in
perfeot keeping wijth the ruined old
mansion which they snrrounded. Bnt
dilapidated, decayed and neglected as
they were, there still existed evidence of
the skill and ingenuity of the architect,.
culture and taste of those who once
dwelt there in the arrangement and
grouping-of shrub, flower and vine.
While musing upon all these things,
and upon the mutability of all human
affure, I turned and sat upon the old
£br<jh Which was -a p«^t-.eligible for
observation, bat reflectitfos passed rap-
idly frfcih' the present surroundings to;
the past. And lulled into repose by the
low, soft murmnring voice of the forest,
to the breath of evening—the murmur
ing seemed to change gradually from-
that of the forest; to the hum of human
voices, which was less monotonous,
more distinctand appearedto be issuing
from one of the old halls. A moment’s
attention convinced me that the'old
mansion was inhabited. Gould it be
that the. voices proceeded from a com
pany of travelers who had stopped to
rest for the night, or was it a reassemb
ling of the departed of the old house
hold ? A spiritual holiday,in which all
of the late inhabitants were permitted
to reassemble on a native festival of some
of the family ? Bnt the sconce changed
again, and the doubt was dissolved, for
the old mansion was brilliautly -Jighted
up and voices and foot-steps were heard
