Rave not to mo of your sparkling wine,
Bii not for me tho goblet shine;
My soul io athirst for a draft more ra/e,
A gush of pnit free Mountain Air.
Tt wafts on it3 current t!ie rich perfume
Os the purple heath and the honied broom,
The gulden fuizc. anil tho hawthorn fair,
Shed ail their sweets to the AfouuUir Air.
It plays round ?h~ banks and the m ssy st me
,Vv he: •” t*jo viol--! tJroops like a nun u’onc,
S'iiotiJing her hr- ust from the iv.onti> glare.
Yet filling with halm the Mountain Air.
It gives to my spirit i tone of mirth,
I hound with joy o’er the new drossM earth,
When Spring has scattered her jewels there,
And laden with sweets tho Afountai.i Air.
From Nature’s fountain my nectar flows,
’TL the essence of each young hud that blows;
1 lion come, and with me the banquet share—
Let ns drink together the. .Mountain Air.
THE FATAL PREDICTION.
On tile summit of St. Vincent’ i rocks, in the
neighborhood •TCtiUbn, looking on tho Avon,
as it rolls its lazy course towards the Bristol
channel, stands an edifice, known by the name
of Cooke’s Frilly.” It consists ofasingle round
tower, and appears at a distance rather as the
remnant of some extensive building than a com
plete and perfect edifice, as it now exists. It
was built more than two centuries ago by a ..an
named Maurice Cooke— not indeed as a strong
hold from the arms of a mortal eiv my, but as a
refuge from the evils of destiny. He was the
proprietor of extensive estates in the neighbor
hood; and while his-lady was pregnant with her
first child, as she was walking in their domain,
she encountered a strange looking Gipsy, who,
pestering her for aim received but a small sum
The man turned over the coin in his hand am
implored a larger gill. ‘’That,” said the lady,
“will buy you food for tho present.” “I.ad)
said the man, “it is not food for this wrctcheu
body that I require; the herbs of the field and
tho waters of the ditch are good enough for that.
I ask your alms for higher purposes. Do not
distrust me if niy bearing bo prouder than rr.\
arguments; do not doubt the strength of my
sunken eye, when I tell you that I can read tho
skies as they relate the fates of men.—Not
more familiar is tne hornbook to the scholar
than are the heavens to my knowledge.”
“What, art thou an astrologer?’ “Aye, lady!
my fathers were so before me.-evrn in th<- times
when our people had a home amidst the pyra
mids of the filighty—in the times when you are ‘
told the mightieT prophets of the Israelites put ’
tho soothsayers of Egyt to confusion, idle tales! j
but if true, all reckless now. Judah’s scattered
sons are now destitute as ourselves; but they
bend anti bow to the laws and ways of other
lands, we remain in the stern steadfastness of
our own.” “If then, I give you more money,
how will it be applied?” “That is not a cour
teous question, but I’ll answer it. The most
cunning craftsman cannot work without hi
tools, and some of mine are broken, which 1
seek to repair—another crown will be enough.”
The lad) put the required sum into his hand,
and at the same time, intimated her desir. of
having a specimen of his art “Oh to what
purpose should that be? Why, why seek to
know the cause of futurity ? Destiny runs on
in a sweeping and resistloss tide. Inquire not
what rocks await your bark; the know ledge can
not avail you, for caution is useless against
stern necessity.” “Truly, you arc not likely to
get rich by vour trade, if you thus deter custo
mers.” “It i3notfor-wsalthl labor, lam alone
on earth, and have none to love. 1 will not
mix with tho world, lest I shoulu l'jrn to hate.
The present is nothing to me. It is in com
munion with the spirits that have lived in times
that are past, and with the stars, those historians
of the time to come, that I feel aught of joy.
Fools sometimes demand the exertions of my
powers, and sometimes I gratify their childish
curiosity.” “Notwithstanding I lie under the
imputation of folly, I beg that you will predict
unto tne the fate of the child which l shall bear.”
“Well , you have obliged nie/and I will comply.
Note the precise momerJ at which it enters
the world, and soon afier yon shnii s. ■ n;o
again.” Within a week th- birth of an h ir
atvoka the blarmroue joy f tho vassal.-', nj
summoned th strange gipsy to ascertain the
necessary points. These Inarm, Ii- retumeJ
home, and the nest day presented Sir tlaurtce
’.vita a scroll containing the following words:
• “Twcity tunes shall Avon’s tide
| In chain? g.istemngice be tio.l—
Twenty time? the woods of Leigii
Shall wave their iraachc'3 merriiy.
11l Spring burst forth in mantle gay,
And done -i i siiumor’s sc’nre'mg ray;
Tweuty time? shall autumn’s frown
ither <ll the green to brown—
And still tne child of yei terday,
Shall laugh die happy hours away.
That period past, another sun
Sjiall not his annual journey run,
Before a secret silent too
Shall strike that hoy a deadly Mow,
Such and sure his fate shall be;
Seek not to change his destiny.”
The knight rend it; and in that ag-e, tvhr n as
trology was considered a science as unerring as
holy prophecies, it would have been little less
than in .delity to have doubted the truth of the
prediction. Sir Mruvie , however, was wise
enough to withhold the pap r from lira la :\, and,
in answer to her inquiries, continu dly ..-sorted :
that the gipsy was an imposter, and tiia t < oh- ;
ject of his assuming the character of an astrolo
ger was o.crely to increase her alms. The child
grew in health and beauty; and as we are the
more strongly attached to'pleasur. in proportion
in the brevity of their continuance, so did Un
melancholy fate of his son more filly tix him in
ihi’ lieart of Sir Maurice. Often did the won
dering lady observe the counlenan e of her hus
band with surptisc, as wartebiug the endearing
sportiveness of the boy, his countenance at first
brightened by the smile of paternal love, giadu
aily and irkened to the deepest grief, until, unable
to suppress his tears, he would cover the child
with caresses, and rush from the room. To all
inquiries, Sir, Maurice was silent, cr rcturu-d
evasive answers. W shall pass overtire inian
cy oi you g Walter, and resume the narrative of
the period in which he entered his twentieth year.
His mother was now dead, and had left two oth
er children, both girls, who, however, shared
little of their father's love, which was almost ex
clusively fixed on Waiter, and appeared to in
crease in stengtk as the fatal time grew near.
It is not to be supposed that he tuok no pre
caution against the predicted event. Sometimes
hope suggested that a mistake might have been
made in the horoscope, or that the astrologer
might have overlooked some sign which made
it conditional; and in unison with the latter idea
he determined to creel a strong building, where
during this year in width his doom was to he
! consummated, Walter might remain in solitude.
He accordingly gave directions f r raism a sin
gle tower, peculiarly formed to prevent ingress,
except by permission of its inhabit ints. Ihe
purpose of the building, however, he kept go ret;
and his neighbors alter various strange cenje< -
tures gave it the name of‘Cooke’s lolly.’—
V> alter himself was kept entirely ignorant-on the
subject, aud all his inquiries were answered with
tears.
At length the tower was completed, and fur
nished, with all tilings necessary for convenient e
ati'i comfort; and on toe eve ot Walters oin
plr-tjng his 20th year, Sir Maurice showed him ;
th gipsy’s scroll, and intreaterl him to make !
use of the retreat prepared fur him till the year j
xpired. W Iter at first treated the matter light- !
1, laughed at the prophecy, and declared he
would not lose a year’s liberty it all the astrolo
gers in the world were to croak their ridiculous
prophecies against him. Seeing however, his
fnhei so earnestly Irent on the matter, his reso
lution began to give way, and at length he con
sented to the arrangement. — At G the following
morning, therefore, Walter entered the toner,
which he hastened within cs strongly as iron
bars would admit, and which was sc. med out
side in a manner equally firm. He took pos- j
session of his voluntary prison with melancholy
feelings rather occasioned by the loss of present .
pleasure, than the fear of mture pain. He sighed 1
as he looked upon the wide domain before him,
and thought how ad it would be to hear to
joyous horn summoning bis companions to the
chase and find himselfprovcutedjroui attending
it; to hear the'wiater wind coo Ing around his
tower, and rushing between ice rock- beneath
him, and,miss the cheerful song and merry jest,
which were wont to make even the blast a mer
ry sound. Ci rtainly his time passeo as plea
santly as circumstances permitted. He drew
up in a basket, at his meal hours, every luxury
hie tin season produced. His tathei unn
sistr rs daily conversed with him from below, Uu
a considerable time; and the nionis dancers
often raised his laughter by their grotrsque
movements. Weeks ano m nths passed, anu
Walter still was well and cheerful. His own
and his sisters hopes grew more lively, but Mr
Maurice’s anxiety increased. The day crety
near which vas to resture his s*>n to bis arms m
confident security, or to fulfiltho prediction
which 1 ft him without an heii to Ins name and
honors,
On the preceding altcrnoon, Mailer continu
ally endeavored to cheer his parent, by speak
ing of what he would do on the morrow, desired
hi < sisters to send ronud to all thorr friends, that
he might stretch his limbs on.ee mure in. the mer
ry dance and continued to talk ot the future
with such confidence, that < van Sir Maurice
caught a spaik ol hope from the ficty spirit ot
the youth. As the night urew on, and the sis
ters were about to leave hmi, promising to v.nke
him at -sis, by a song, in answer to the usual
inquiry if ho wanted any thing more tout night,
“nothing,” ..said he; “and yet tho night feels
eliuly, and I hav.- IJfie fuel left, send me os.ft
mure faaeot,” This was sent him, and as i.o
drew it up, ■’ f’/: ,'’ sal-J he, “is the last time I
sh ii h ive to dip ft r mv wants like < Id women
fi r tii.-ir water, tl.ai k (lod! for it is wearisome
work for the arm.” Sir Maurice still lingered
under the window in conversation with his son,
who at la.rt complained of being coldand drowsy.
“Mark,” said heashe closed the window,“mark,
lather, Mars, the star which rules my fate, looks
smilingly to-night—a!! will be well.” Sir Mau
| rice looked up—a dark cloud spot suddenly
; covered the planet, and he shuddered at th
omen.
The anxious father could not leave the place.
Sleep, lie knew, it was in vain to court, and ho
therefore determined to remain on the spot.
The reflections that occupied his mind were
continually varied:—at one time he painted to
hitnselfthe proud carccrc.fhis high spirited hoy,
known and admired among the mighty of hi ?
time: a moment after he saw the prediction ver
ified, and the child of hi3 love lying in the tomb.
Who can can conceive his feelings, as hci’.v
dragged aft-r hour, while he walked to and lro,
watching fie blaze of the fire in the tower; as it
idazed and sunk again—now pacing the court
with hasty steps, and now praying fervently for
the preservarion of his son!—The hour came.
he cat edrai bell struck heavy cm the . father’*
heart \\ hich was not to be lightened by tfco
cheerless vcic sos his daughters, who carao
: uuomg full of hope so the foot of the tower.
I'hev looked up, hut Walker was not there; they
called his name—but he Hnswerednat. “Nay,”
said the youngest, “this is only a jest i I>>-
thinks to frighten us, but I know he is safe.
A servant had brought a ladder, which he as
cended, and looked ia at the window. Sir
Maurice stood immoveable and silent —he lock
ed up, and the man answered the euinest ex
pression of his eyes; “he is asleep,” said he.
“He dead,” murmured the father.
The =( rvant 1 roll- a pane of the window, and
opening the casement, entered the room. Tha
father changing his gloomy steadfastness for
frenzied anxiety, rushed up the ladder. Inn
.“.ervarit had thrown aside the cuitain and tho
clothes, and displayed to the eyes ol sir Maurices
’ his son lying dead; a serpent twined round hi3
! arm, and his throat covered with blood.—Tho
reptile had crept from the faggot last sent hinj,
and fulfilled the prophecy.
THE OLD PROVERBS.
He hath a good judgment who doth not v.)-f
on his ow n.
Wealth is not his who gets it, but Jw*
enjoys it. .
Virtue is like wine, the qua.ity whereof is
not known untill tested.
Friendships are cheap when they aro to bo
bought with puffing oft'your hat.
The money you relv.se will never do yoll
good.
“I once had,” is a poor man.
There ar* a great many asse3 without lung
ears.
All asses arc not alike, for some do r. 0.6
bray.
The best throw upon dice is to throw thcqi
away.
Giving is going a fishing.
Dead men open the ryes ofihe living.
He who is an as , and takes himself to be ;t
