hit was an evening in autumn, and
&nah was a symbol of the fenfon—
fhe wa^all ripenefa. Her halt of dark
chefout, flowed inabundance, waving,
to the wind, and (porting upon her
temples. Her eyes, black as the floe,
peeped from behind a fade of long
bUhfs, and kept up a kind of con
ftanc hedge firing upon the heart of
, poor Thady. Her cheek had the del
' icacy' and complexion of the peach $
and the ^wfting. strawberry was not
more inviting than the lips of O?ah—
Onah's boforn!—but here the com
parison fails—The fatigue of afcend
teing the hill caused Onah to breathe
„)fhorc, and these there breathings dif
xcovered to Thady, that the golden
freckle# and brown shade, which ting
ed her face and neck, were the ftaini
. and mark, of the, wanton fun beam's
kiffa, and rot she paint of nature ;
fircite 4^ Onah%treated
from the fifyple homerfpun b^aft
work that grounded it—a ski? white

Thady was a man of sentiment, and
possessed of those qualities which catfr
sentiment in the other sex. Hirpei^
fan was a model for a Hercules, and
[hit face as expressive of innocence and
fove as the face of Adonis. A The fir
ble could not boast of blacker hair,
nor <^h herfetf bfafe than
the hair and eyes bfmo. 'Hh^
beard- had appeared upon his upper
Jip+nd, take him all and ill, he had
every qualify^ to give hit
fair companion, or any other woman'
breathing, the assurance of a mm^
^itf'*™''' faidOWl; to
our town; the- coach road, and the
path through the wood. The coach
road is the fafeft—but to be tore the
path wtlfeffioiteftfa^ffl are with
me, Thady.— So Ooah took hold of
Thady's arm, and they defended the
hill toward the wood> 1U .(^ ^^
Now Ondh ccrtild havehad no evil
id&taiffihre path thro'
the wW sW&clr&d, for if

Thady ;• for, don't yrofte 1 h^e got'
the young pig under my arm [
Verytrue, replied O.^h •, yslfa&
the pig ifeed, l-h?dy ; .but thth#

' Thady took^he him—he put his
pig under Onah'spot, and they did
not arrive at the village of Epitkerry
till an hour after night-fall.
Three months after, Onah cameto
the cottage of Thady—The pearl,
tribute of shame rolled from her eye.
O, the d—ltake that pot of mine !
exclaimed Onah.
What ii the matter, Onah ? asked
Thady.
O; the d —l take that pig of fan I
answered Onah.
Blit what makes you cry my dear
Onah ? asked Thady, taking her by
the hands, and laying his cheek close
to hers, and kissing her affectionately.
Onah fobbed heavily—lam ruinat
ed—the cutfed pot—the curled pig
and pot ! My mother and father have
,di (covered all—the whole SQ% must
soon know my misfortune—they have
turned me out of house and home.
But I have a house and hpme to
receive you, said Thady ; and I will
be both father and mother to 'you,
my sweet Onah,
Did not you delude me into the
wood ?- O, gou did, Thady, laid
Onah. \ :
I did, answered Thady—but will
Remove your misfortune—l willmake
an hon^ft woman of you—l will this
instant run fog the piper and the priest.
So Thady married Onah, and they go"
every year to the fair of Enifkerr^ ,
and they never pah through thetaro,
but Onah reminds her own Thady of'
the day he put his pig under henpot.l
