her thoughts was wildness mingled with deep ten

and echo by their struggles and tumuluous conten-

The vale IN the latter part of the day, but as night
approached the old trees began to groan with
heavier blast and the wild birds flew with fearful
screams to the groves the small flowers closed I'D
their breasts rapidly, and committed themselves to
the storm, whilst the river seemed to foam and swell
'nder the chatting wing of the tempest In few
minutes the rack began thunder broke in tremen-

the waves like the cry of one drowning, she chaunt

sasm degeneratedint frenzy, and gentleness gave
way to more than sybiline extravaganza of voice
and gesture returned to the cottage, and as did
not wish to be questioned by the woman concerning
her daughter, retired immediately to my chamber
There was something of foreboding nature in
this last incident The morning after, received
post letter from the neighborng town, whittier the
widow had gone for provisions, acquainting me that
my father was On his deatll-bed, and requiring my
immediate attendance to receive his last blessing.
This was imperative and though had neither seen
nor heard of Lillian since the preceding night, after
having taken hasty leave of her mother, set off
immediately to the village where might procure
some mode OF conveyance to my fathers residence.
The direct path from the Vale of the Waterfalls to
the village, lay through one Of the gens or dingles
IN which the valley terminated The sides of the
mountains which formed this defile, were so preci-
pitous, that they almost met overhead and they were
moreover clothed with dark mantle Of hanging fir,
which increased the gloom and horror of the place
At the very bottom lay the path, and as looked up
the sides OF this dfealy profound which seemed the
very realization of the Valley of the Shadow of
Death my fancy grew bewilderec though wakine,
0N0Alou W Ndlh III Il cream, ana thousand DIM
and terrible phantoms appeared to rise from the
brambles under my feet, and dallen still more the
obScu1ty which encompassed me- The incidents
OF last night returned forciby to my mind there was
something mysterious unreal, and pretcrnatural, in
every thing connected with that Vale and this was
ut place for executing the final catastrophe ASH
passed on, at intervals some hord thing would brush
by me, and a wet haccid wing, like that of mon
strous bat, would flap me in the face; sometimes
phantom would come and whisper busly in my ear
yet heard nothing; and saw many hdeous shapes,
VINO by thclr distortions were apparently in the acts
OF screaming, laughing, and making othcrabomina-
bic noises, yet the air was as silent as death All Of
a sudden, this subtcrranean passage of horror and
darkness opened into the bright fields of day: |
was reinsplrlted but the recollection of the drea1y
glen, the vale, Lillian and her pIetcInatural disap
pearance, still remained. ponderino, On these sub
Jects, and endeayouring to account for them in some
probable manner, proceeded through the open val
ley into which the sides Of the ellen had videned
and passing by tuft OF green bushes | thouoht
heard from within them, some one wee,,ino like .
deserted child. Immediately opened them, and to
my astonshment found Lillian sitting on the green
plat III the midst, with her head in her laD. lament
ing plteously, and drowned in food of tears She
rose and spread her arms to receive me- flew to
her embrace, but when thought to have caught her
to my bosom, she was still at the same distance from
ne as before. Gillian, said I, "whv do YOU AVOID

said she, family smiling Gillian will then be no
more" As l stood, unable from the impressveness
OF her manner to make any answer, whether it was
imagination, Or that the echo in this place was ex
traordinary powerful, heard her last words re-
peated several times up the mountains, and "No

When we had reached the spot, she stopped; and
turning to me, her innocent bosom filed with tears.
and her blue eyes dropping chrystal, she pointed
towards the vale which lay behind US, and in voice
scarcely audible with sorrow, e'Listen," said she

From the Exeter Rockingham Gazette.
Writfen on seeing .NonGdnock from my
70;ndow--.apriI Is, 1924.
Upon the far.off mountains brow
The angry storm has ceas'd to beat,
And broken clouds are gathering now
In sullen reverence round his feet:
Alone he met their crowded bands,
Around his breast their folds were rended,
And there once more redeem'd he stands,
And heavens blue arch is DER him Bonded.
I've seen him. when the rising sun
Burned like bale-fre on the height,
I've seen him when the day was done
Throw back the beams Of evening light;
i've seen him in the midnight hour,
When all the world beneath were sleeping,
Like some lone sentry in the tower
His weary watch in silence keeping.
And there, forever calm and clear,
His lofty turret nobly springs
He owns no rival summit near,
No sovereign but the King Of kings:
Thousands of nationshaye pass'd by,
Thousands of years unknown TO story,
And still his aged walls on high
He lifts in melancholy glory.
And must the works of human power
Live but an hour, decay and fail,
And shall that cold and lonely tower
Outlive the proudest ofthem all?--
Must beauty, in its bright array,
On which loves burning eyes are gazing,
And virtue in its heaven-ward way,
And glory in its pathway blazing
Must all the feelings ofthe heart
Its loves and sorrows, joys and fears,
Its hopes and memory--ai depart,
And sleep with unremember'd years?-
And still that mountain brave the shock
When the storm waves its banners DER him.
And time too spare bis thrones of rock
While ages melt away before him?
Il should be so-for no heart beats
Beneath his cold and silent breast,
For him no we'll known voice repeats
The gentle words that make us blest;
And more than this--his deep repose
Is troubled by no thoughts of sorrow,
He hath no weary eyes to close,
He hath No cause 10 dread tomorrow.
He should survive--but man should die,
As soon and sadly as he may;
The close oflite is always nigh,
And we'll if it arrive to-day:
No matter when death rudely tears
The bands that soon or late must sever,
Tor blest the promise that it bears
That man shall live not here forever.
Tor in the lapse of future years
When joy and hope and friends are fed,
When all the thoughts that ask no tears
Are those which hover round the dead
Perhaps this scene may linger still,
And pensive memories, DER Inc stealing,
Remind me how the distant hill
Walz'd all the chords OFFENSIVE feeling.
q Farewell! ] go my lonely way
Perhaps far down the vale Of years,
The eyes that roll in smiles to-day,
May gaze upon thee dim with tears;
May see thee still upaltering stand,
And envy thee thy calm rcposing,
Till death arrive with welcome hand,
My cares and sorrows gently closing.
