CHAP. 1 .
“I- it possible, Henry, yon b. Uevp in gbos's ?”
Now ibis query was put from as lovely a litth)
girl, as it had been my happiness, before I saw her
s vAiwn sweet si It, ever to behold; she was as a sweet
rfltadiod just past the putting forth of i;s leaves,
fu r breath as balmy as its odour, and passed
through lips to which tho purest coral, if com
pared, would lose a slnuli', and prove lit.; truth, that
naught so ruby bright, as beauty’s lips.
“Nay,” I replied, “I did nut say 1 believed in
them—but only that”—l was interrupted in my
ut'empt at vindiea ion, not by words, but bv u pair
oLjtVi-s which plainly expressed, not as Juliet’s did
00tliotnen, the language of the soul, but tho lan
guage of contempt, and according to my own in
lerprolaiion, “ Old you fool.” I stopped, pre
paring all my power to malic a charge, if nut upon
her credulity, at least upon her logic.
“You have lead Abercrombie, have you no!?”
“Yes,” I replied.
"And so yon believe in spiiilual vniialions,
after the perusal of that clear philosophy!”
“W by my dear Inly, what Is clear to one, may
be to another, as tho boy Laid, who was desired
t.) study tils own mitul, hy the study of Brown —
’ as thick as molas-es. But you are putting too me.-
j- ny questions, and running from the mam point—
u piece of inconsistence ny no means uncommon
with tho sober sex.” Os course ibis uiqpdh.nt
thought was kept to myself.
“Well then,” again i.-kt'd my fair companion,
“do you, or o'.i you not b. lievr.”
“You shall get my me worm lire narratbol air.
ali.-.nl to r.-h.te, which is as true ai f tint 1 1 ■ uu

In, rued blue, and the shade of Vwat paid hint a
visit in lus lout.
My manoeuvre had the desired edi ct, Bitch is
the force of sympathy, if satirical smile iniiTn .
diately led mo Itur one's fare, and in ils place, 1
had the satisfaction to read, in nature’s own print,
tho name of the legacy left by our groat grand dam,
to all ilie progeny mi her side, viz : euiioaily.
And thus 1 began, “once upon a time,” lor in
legendary tales,chronology is of no import, espe
cially vvhfie particular epochs and places are pro.
bloins as difficult to lo solved, as ie the attempt
to square iho circle.
“ But, once upon a lime there was a marriage
to take place, in a countty vvlvro maids were
beautiful, and swains noble and brave. Ol the
firm r, one of tho most charming, both in mind
and person, was E cclrla ; and of tho labor, in
manly symmetry and pure affection, was piodo
nas. These twain were betrothed, but, «s was
ibo custom in tho coumry which gave them birth,
they couid not he joined in Hymen’s bonds, until
a year had passed, devoted to llio severest scru
tiny of ail the actions of both parties, since first
‘ they breathed and moved.’ On tho last day
of the year was judgment to be pronounced. All
that could he brought against the lady was, that
she had been too gay at die village dances, or
laughed 100 loud m coincide wilh the ideas of
prudence of certain ladies not in their toon
Toee ohsiacics were not mountains,and assisted
by a little good nature on the part of the judges,
Eslcleia passed with honor die ordeal entered
upon with hope, yet wiih fear and trembling.
“Mol eo v.a. it with Uledonas : just as he
thought happiness was his, a voice from the mul
titude cried out, ‘I denounce Pied.mas as one
whose face will whiten when dangers near. Is
sutli a man lit to protect the innocent and help
less V ”
“Now it is necessary for you to know that in
t ie limes of which I speak, they did not go out
to prove which was the best man, by sending
bails, propelled by gunpowder, at each oilier. —
They had a more substantial me hod of investi
gating who was right and who was wrong, as you
will tec was the case with Hiedonas.
“•Who is my nccu.er? let him stand before
tho eye of die good and just,’ meaning the old
men who were his judges; and ns he said this,
Ins eye kindled with anger, and Ids lip curled
with die proud consciousnossof Ids innocence of
the charge. A path was made from the place
whence the voice of accusal ion came, and there
1 i-sued forth a youth of graceful and manly mien ;
his face was pale, even the blood from his lips
was gone, yet his heart fell no fear in tho pre.
I sence of him whoso enemy, till then, lie had
i never proved himself. (You will easily judge die
! reason of ail thin, for ladies know instinctively all
the phenomena of the heart.) Though tho good
people of whom I am speaking, by their strict and
■ moral la vs, managed pieity generally to keep
t every thing in quiet order; yet as human nature
- was not made by them, it was beyond the upbore
- or their capabilities, to prevent two yoang men
' from loving one young woman. They know no
• ! mote than you do about ibo Latin ullage, ‘ dc
gutubm non eat dispnlandem’ Hence,on such
occur ions they got very angry ; but as it was a
part of their philosophy to leach by example n
e well ..a precept, they could not manifest died

This compound feeling is the great characteristic

i the shadow of the trees, with the stillness of the
