PART IL-SUMMER

How delightful it is at the evening hour, after along sultry
summer's day, to retreat from the world's bustle, and leaving
the town and its attractions behind us, indulge in the " wildly
devious" rural walk—to pass through the waving corn—to
wander o'er the flowery mead—to wind along the stream,
and listen to its murmurings, or watch the quick-eyed trout in
wanton sport-to thread the woody maze, or to ascend the
verdant hill, and, reclining on its brow, watch the last rays
of the setting sun as he sinks in the distant horizon, display-
ing the unsurpassed beams of his effulgence as they are re-
flected upon the spires of the distan' village church—in the
fringed rivulet, with its rude wooden bridge—and on every
object, animate or inanimate, while they are vivified by the
powerful influence of his genial rays.
It was a beautiful evening in the pleasant mouth of August,
about two months after the arrival of the troops, that the
forms of two persons were seen moving slowly in the direc-
tion of , a romantic village in the vicinity of NV
They had just entered a deep glen, abounding with the wild
est scenery, through which a noble meandering stream racy
murmuring on, losing itself within the " covert of alhazel
copse ;" from the base of the forest-crowned heights gushed
forth a silvery rill, adding its slender tribute to the parent
stream; whilstthe plaintive breeze that ever and anon played
amongst the branches of the lofty pines and aged oaks above,
wafted through the glen the fragrance of the sparkling dew-
bedecked wild flowers and shrubs that graced the sylvan
scene.

The two persons gradually proceeded. The female was
hanging fondly on the arm of her companion, a tall young
man; whilst the latter was breathing into the ear of the
fond girl vows of lasting attachment, and kissing off the
pearly tears that fell fast and thick upon her pallid cheek.
" Dear girl," said he, " dry your tears. It is true, I must
leave you to-morrow; but I shall be absent only for a short
time ; the happy moment will soon arrive, when I shall return
—never more to leave thee."

Scalding tears and bitter sighs were the only answers he
received ; and after a short pause he exclaimed impatiently:
" Mary, this is childishl—you doubt my word—then you
do not love me.7'

The devoted girl raised her eyes, and gazing eat nestly on
he. companion's face for sonic moments, sobbed—
" Not love you !" and the pour girl's heart was fit to break.
" Well, well," replied he, " I did not mean wbat I said.
Forgive me, Mary, I never doubted your affection. I know
you love me—and I love you—to distraction ! Do you doubt
me ?—no—you do not --)ou do not !" And he pressed her
passionately to his bosom, and bestowed love's fond kisses on.
her yielding lips.
And the credulous girl smiled through her tears as the
seducer soothed her mind with hopes of future happipess—
of love and joy—of• the blissful moment of their Pinion.
Poor Mary! that was a dream too pleasing—a moment too
distant—a fond hope, alas! never to be realized ! The man
she adored was a villain, and she was betrayed !
When the ensuing morning dawned, the inhabitants of
W— beheld the departure of the military. By their prompt
exertions the ringleaders had been brought to justice, and
punished; the riot was fully quelled, and the neighbourhood
restored to its former propriety. It was market morning;
and the troops, as they passed on, received the boisterous
plaudits of the assembled multitude; the sun shone brightly
on the animated scene, and every eye beamed with seeming
tokens of joy. But there was one wretched being at least
present. Mary Morris had viewed the retiring forms of the
soldiers, as they gradually receded from her anxious gaze;
and when the last echo of their horses' hoofs died upon Ler
ear, she felt heartbroken—alone; without a ray of happiness'
to cheer her soul. The man she so fervently loved was gone
from her, perhaps for ever! The painful thought was more
than her excited feelings could sustain; her brain became
dizzy—sense was suspended ; she fainted and fell—not to
the earth—but in the arms of one who, though disregarded,
still loved her with a pure and lasting love.
Edward Griffiths was the son of a wealthy farmer, residing
at W—; his family were on terms of particular intimacy
with Hugh Morris and his fairdaughter. Edward had known
Mary since they were children, and played together at the
farm, where she was often invited by his sisters: she then
called him her dear brother—told hint of all her little plea-
sures and all her pains. in which he most cheeringly partici,.
pated—feeling proud of such a sister. But as time advanced,
and brought Mary towards womanhood, she became more re-
served towards her companions, and made few visits at the
farm, although she was much attached to Edward and his
sisters. But Edward, on the contrary, never changed. He
still remained the same devoted being. Mary was the dear
idol of his soul. He bad loved her in his boyish days—he
now adored her in manhood. His passion was of that pure,
that lasting nature, which neither time nor circumstances
could efface, and which is selddin to be found in any other
state but that of unsophisticated life. Often had he resolved
to discover to her the real state of his heart—to tell her how
devotedly he loved her—that she was thd dear subject, of his
sleeping and waking hours; and that his future happiness
depended upon her fiat! But the .dreadfu-1 thought of his
being refused—despised—caused him to waver in his reso-
lution.

Mary was no longer the lively, giddy girl she once was:
she was changed both in form and disposition ! No longer
could be heard the merry laugh the rattling chatter that
amused her companions; no longer was the arch smile to be
seen that once danced in her eve, and interested the be-
holder ! The pallid cheek, the tearful eye, the half-suppressed
heaving of the heart, were indeed tokens of a change!
Hugh Morris had long since witnessed the humid eyes and
changed manner of his beloved daughter; and often had he
anxiously enquired of her the cause—was she unwell?—did
she want anything?—was she unhappy ? To all which in-
terrogatories she ever replied, she was well—very well; did
not want anything— was quite happy.
But at length the truth, the dreadful conviction flashed
across his mind. Her pallid cheek, her altered form, her
inelancho!y .manner, betrayed to his agonized mind, what
Mary would have given worlds to conceal.
Oh ! how the old man lamented his folly, his blindness,
his imprudence! He could nut blame his poor child; he
alone was to blame for not having watched over her! But
many were the curses—deep, withering curses—he bestowed
on the villain who, taking advantage of his position, had
been so unprincipled, as to gratify his vanity at the sacrifice
of a female's honour and a family's peace !
As Mary's situation became every day more palpable, she
removed, agreeably to her father's wishes, to the house of a
relation, residing in a neighbouring village; and some time
after she gave birth to her offspring; a tedious illness ensued,
and her life was in imminent danger.

A DUBLIN CA R•DRIVEIL—The car-driver, his beast, and
his machine, must be unique to all who have not visited Ire-

he lives and exists. It seems to strengthen his luugs and

covered with dust of months, perhaps of years, and his face
also encrusted with a mask of the same material, he glares

never exceeded the variety of his gesticulations or the ardour

considering his responsibility; for his business is not merely
guiding his beast through the perils of a thronged road, he
has to provide " full fate," upon a busy day like this, pre-
vious to starting, that is, to load his ricketty machine with
six human beings, three at a side, fat or lean, as they happen

to his horse, however they may distress each other. Nay,
the horse himself, the poor, jaded, shavy, soiled, puffing
horse, keeps his master's promise, while he exhibits, in many
respects, his master's characteristics. At every moment of
rest, indeed, he pokes down his head, and seems drooping
into nonentity ; but the instant his services are required, he
starts into strength and energy, as if suddenly endowed with
a wild recklessness, and with a power of Motion little ex-
