well: and you will not like it theless beenuse Ihe
gray bead tells you, with her own lips the story
ofherday, when her locks were as white as the
berry, and her eyes as beaming as your own.’
‘That, in truth, shall we uot, noble graod-nioth-
er,’ 6aid the sparkling Lilias; ‘but y«t would I
have the charm of Hallowe’en. . Ah, little can’st
thou dream hoyv dear this night is 10 ihe oxpect-

‘What is there we can refuse you, nr,hie grand

amber amid the snowy curls of the venerable
countess. ‘Speak on, then;-you have made us
listeners already—and hark; wind, nun, and
snow—a goodly night for n tale. Tell ou, dear
grandam-’
•It was on this very ove, many years s ince, my
children,’ began the noble lady, to her auditors,
•that three lovely daughters of a noble Louso as
sembled together in a’ dreary wood, to try tho
charm of the night, which, if successful, was to
give to their earnest sight the phantom form of the
lover who was afterwards to become the husband,
Their powerful curiosity had stifled their fear (for
they were as timid as beautiful,) ou ibeir first set
ting oat on this expedition; but, on finding them
selves alone in the dark aud melancholy wood,
some touches of cowardice and compuuction as
sailed them together, and they determined, by a
somewhat holy bogiuning, to sanctify the purpose
which had taken them thither. They were too
youugto lqugb at this mock compact betweeu
God aud the Devil; aud, therefore, when Cather
ine, the eldest sister, began in an audible voice to
recite the prayer against witchcraft, the others
joined in it most devoutly. Now then, fortified
against evil, their courage rose with every addi
tional sentence, aud when'the soft voice ofthe
young Agnes, tho loveliest and youngest of the
three steadily responded the ‘amen,’ they were as
courageous ss was necessary, aud no longer fearful
of the power of the evil one. I know not, tny
children, all the forms used upon this occasion, but
Catherme, after repeating certain words iu a sol
emn voice, advanced before her sisters, and quiet
ly placed upon the ground her ofleriug to the
shade site had invoked, as by his conduct towards
it, she was to judges of her future propects. It

‘Como hither, my beautiful Jean, and ray fair
Lilias,’ said the venerable Countess of Moray, to
mziJim_a.i_jaari-«iAijLi..i-|..:.|.- 1 na. W 7TnTOHiAma'H.ggntw—toe
tie Agnes. Snc’ii a course could have but one
termination: stretdlied at length oa that sick bed
wllicb was to bo Iter Inst, .ho sent to desire tire
attendance of her yonn -; sister. Agnes obeyed the
mandate, hut only arrived in time t-i meet the
funeral procession which conducted the hapless
Mar:*a to her early grave. The widower instant,
ly recognized, from a distance, his young heart’s
love, and rapidly flew to meet her: and ns she
if nnfeii
ters were contemplating from a distance tho rich
ness of their hue, when they were startled by tbo
clashing ol arms and the loud outcries of u eu in
fierce contention, breaking upon the stillness of
tbeYiight. For a moment they hesitated whether
to fly or remain concealed, When their doubts
were decided by tbe rapid approach of a stern,
stately Highland chief, who, brandishing ljis broad
rord, swept on to the rose-tree ns if he would
annihilate from the earth its fair and fragile beauty.
Suddenly ho paused—bis arm was no longer raised
to destroy—tlie weapon dropped gently down be
side the tree—and they esw his blue eye look
mildly and kindly on the flower, as, bending down
to gather them,'lie faded from their sight in tho
action. Catherine was by uo means displeased
with her fortune; and theuppearar.ee ofher hand
some bridegroom gave courage to tlie otlfer two to
hasten the coming of theirs. Marian, the second
sister, removed the rose, placing n lily bough iu
its stead, then, with a beating heart and wander
ing eye, repeated the charm. Again the silence
wus broken, ns the quick but steady tramp of a
warrior’s norse struck upon the ear. and the shade
of a noble cavalier dismounting from his phantom
steed, advanced slowly, very slowly, towards the
lily; bis fuce was beautiful but i-nd—beyond ex-
p.essiou, sad; and they saw a tear fall upon tbe
flower as be pressed it gently to bis bosom. He,
too, had faded like a dream when the geutld Agues
advanced to perform her part iu the witcheries of
the night. She trembled, bat she would not re
cede, and faintly repeating tho charm, huug her
white handkerchief ou thebranch ofa distant tree.
This time there was no sound; from the wood
there came u long and sable procession of horse
uud foot, following a coffin that was steadily borne
toward them; many were tbe shadowy mourners
that followed,- Agues watched with breathless
-hed tears of unfeigned sorrow for his loss, he
took the white handkerchief .ibe held, and lender-^
ly dried them away. O i at that moment, how *
deeply Agues sighed ! She beheld in this scene
thcfiilShnent of the omen, and weptto think she
had thus wasted some of the I rest years ofher life,
and trifled with her Liver’s happiness and hor
own. ‘O, dlly delusion!' site exclaimed, to bitter-
ness otheart, ‘of what hast thou not bereaved reel’
After the period of mourning bad expired, she
gave her hand to AValter. and endeavored, in ma
king Lis days tranquil, to forget the felicity tire
had lost.'
•But they were wedded, grandam, dear,’ said
the beautiful Liliut, laughing; ‘what more would
tbe people have had V
Youth, nmt its love, apd its hope, and all it*
bright aud gracious feeling,’ said the vennrabls
countess; *tney all had fled with time, nnd noth
ing but their remembrance remained with Agues
and her Walter, which made their lot more bit
ter. He was, a{ tlicjr wedlock, past even man
hood's prime; she was no longer young; cud,
though not wretched, yet they were not happy ;
and it was only iu their descendants they loukod
for felicity. Agues has found it trulv; hut for
Walter—’
•Grandam. itis3'onr own tale yon tell, nnd our
gr^ndsire’s, I am certain, by the tears which roll
down your face,’ replied Lilias. ‘Ah, I will wait
Heaven’s own good time for a husband, ami try
these charms no more. Kiss me, noble grandam";
your Lilias will never forget the tale of Ilallowe’en-
Qnlsating.
From one of the best written and moat sensible
novels published in twenty five yenra. ••Specula
tionwo copy tl;e following Extract;
There is. perhaps, no decided species of vulgari
ty 6o universally tolerated by all classes of society
as the debasing habit of “quizzing," or one which
more effectually lowers the tone of every circle
into which it is admitted. Quizzing, treated as
the ingenious Mrs Opto has treated another vice
common in the world, might bo classed under
twenty different heads: hut we do not intend to
trespass op the patience ol oar readers, by so elon
gated a definition of this debu-ing propensity.
Au erroneous idea has grown in some mindr,
that a quizzer must necessarily be a wit—it is as
fallacious au opinion ns that which supposes tha
w riter of an epitaph to be of necessity a poet; wit
is a ppre and ethereal sparkle of the mind—it re
quires no shade of mind to constitute a quizzer;
nor can such a ono si wavs lay claim even to lire
forbidding, unlovely talent of satire: for to bo
really satirical, there must be a tinge of talent—
prostituted, it is true, but tal-nt, however degra
ded, will still escort itself, although it may have
lost the respectability which made it estimable.—
AV'ho ever hearkened to the underbred utteierof
this third-rate specips of ‘‘good thiugs,” the flip-
paut retailer of mingled vulgarity and grossness,
withoqt shrinking in spirit from the breath of
malignancy aud cuuning ? For net er was there a
decided quizzer who (rad tret a hidden motive—
and yet, perhaps, despite tbo utter vulgarity, tho
grossness, and die disgusrof this polluting practice,
there is decidedly nothing on earth which bears
away at one ‘(fell swoop,’’ more victims, and those
even the well informed, and the better disposition-
ed. Where is tho man, however endowed with
good sense, wire may not be wiled in some du-
gree from )iia purposo by these professors of a
Rack art? although he would shrink from making
the acknowledgement, even to himself: and yet,
let him ask his own heart, if, at the very moment,
while he despised the speaker, ho ctid not, never
theless, 6hun the object ofhis (ocher)raalovoleuco
though he felt us lie did so, that “llio tongue of
the evil-hearted is no slander”—aud, if ho play
not the traitor with his o>vn conscience, he will
admit the fact.
This species of false shame, this temporary der
eliction at mice from good breeding and' good
sense, is the triumph ofthe quizzer. -Still greater
is the power of a member of this debasing sect,
when perverted pleasantry nud aptitude, border
ing at times on that slip-shod snd nucertain wit
which too often passes current in the world for
something better, lend a charm, a dangerous
charm to malevolence ; manner, that social" coin,
which is so frequently a counterfoil with the mere
earfi.ee of the fine breeding which it apes, blind*
ns to the mischief over which it (brows its spell;
and we shrink not from the rose, though we know
that the spider extracts a deadly poison from its
blossom. In this age of false fefim-ment, how
many are there who would more readily pardon a
dereliction from principle Ilian a’deviation from
politeness,—Who would rather tolerate vice than
atteuiinnthe march ofthe phantom dead; they ad- uwknrdness f Au underbred bow may do a mau
vanced slowly and steadily till they came to ihe more injury with his mistress than an absolute
tree where her white offering flattered lightly in e '' ' ‘ ’ - -—
the air; jt was seeu suspended a moment above
them dropped amid the cavalcade, and Agnes be
held the pale fingers of the chief mourner clutch
— the offering as it fell.
‘Days, weeks, months, passed away, and atilt
found A gnes dropping over her blighted hopes and
expecting the death of which the omen of the
forest had ussurred her ; but still she died not—
and was every succeeding month astonished that
she yet lived. She now began to doubt lire truth
ofthe omen—more especially as the Highlander
had not yet wedded her sister, who waB betrothed
to, and ubout to become the wife of, a favourite of
the hitig, who had earnestly sought her hand. Ag
ues thought she, too, might listen to,a tale of
love; and such a one ns was soon told her bv a
noblerlover, and of her sovereign's blood, she lis
tened to with pleasure. Walter was now her all;
aud the omen of the fore6t was forgotten.
‘The marriage of Catherino was appointed to
take place at u country residence cf her affianced
husband, and Agnes, witn her betrothed, was in
vited to be present. Msrinu too, was there, and
no happiness could hove been more complete than
that of the bridal party; but a dark night set up
on this brilliant morning. Ere they could reach
the church', which was to be the scene of their
union, the Higlilamlere had deceuded in force from
he mountains, and assailed the unarmed guests.
The Camerons como!" rated the shrieking mai
dens, and flew in all directions from their sight.
The bride-groom fell in the conflict; the bride, as
she rushed to the side of her dying husband, was
failure in propriety, and an act of ill-arranged con
desceustmi may ruin a woman with her lover,
when absolute levity would have passed bv un-
lieeded,—if thequizzer be at hand to comment on
the one and the other; to throw out dark shades
of the picture, and to spread the mantle of ridi
cule over the perception of good sense.
The quizzer in the paria of society ; even tbo
caste of thesatarist is polluted by a colli sion with
this outcast from the Bramah of good breediug—
this dweller in she deserts of malevolence und
ignorance. He is the scourage of social cotn-
rmmioiiT—the ministering imp of bitterness—tit*
contempt of good men. aud the world’s scorn ;
the professor of a vice ulflch, born of flippancy aud
self-conceit, is nursed by malice, and is tlie fitting
concomitant of low birth, low breeding, und low
Miens.
Gr r.Lsnt.—Irishmen arc proverbial for their off
hand gallantry. Yankees we believe arc equal to
the best of them- A case in point. Recently there
came to our city, on a visit, veidant youth direct
