FOR THE GARLAND.
TIE MANIAC RESTORED. Ia T,

Silent, through its eral course, the pale faced lu-
mar orb bent its way half obscuret bv the dusky
SKY, which insutngy masked the gmmering bril-
l.ncy of the starry domain, while no sound greeted
The anxious of the unfortunate maniac save the
occasional howl Of some hungry beast of prey, and
the shrll whistiags of the northwest wind, whose
every blast was wont to chill the crimson fluid that
stimulated the generous heart of the once happy
but now miserable, Miss Ellen Williams, who, ready
to sink under the oppressive cold was about to
commend her spirit to the protection of God, and
pcaceably. unseen by human eve, resign that life
now odious to her, when the lowly hut of some
hardy mountanecr met her almost disconsolae

rent in the human breast, of self preservation"

ervated and faultering step; she placed her hand

The cottagers arose at Aurora's first dawn-but
the sun had commenced It's durnal career when
Mss w awoke. In her countenance still were
marked the wild traits of the maniac Her manners
indicated, beyond the possibility of error that she
had not only walked in, but adorned, the first
ranks of society. The scarlet glow had fed from
her cheek. The disease Of her mind had injured
her health and every symptom evinced an incipient
pulmonary affection. Her complexion was now INV
white, though once interspersed with the roseate's
blushing hue-her eyes, now langud. were soft
expressive blues-her auburn ringlets rolled in care
less folds down her gentle bosom, and sorrow had
detracted nothing from the elegance OF her person.

FRIENDSHIP CARRIED TO AN IMPRUDENT LENGTH.
Percival Manley was the eldest of clergy
man in Dorsetshre who, Independent of church
prefernent, possessed a small estate Of about two
hundred year, which, added to the annual produce
from two rectories, enabled him to live in respecta
bic and gentleman-like style. Mr.. Manley
clergyman in the true sense of the expression he
was pious without beng puritanical, and dignifed
without pride; and benevolence and the active viz
tues were SO happily blended in his character, that
he was at once the friend and benefactor of mankind
The sacred duties of his office, united to the
sary attention which it requisite to pay to the
cultivation of his farm prevented him from devoting
as much time to his sons education boy OF an
cmulous disposition required at the age therefore
Of ten years, Percval placed at apublic school,
Generous in his disposition, and gentle in his man.
ners, the amiable boy soon obtained number OF
friends but to one, in particular, he forneda strong
attachment, which time strengthened, and recipro-
cal fondness improved. In their persons, which
We're both beautiful, there singular resem-
5lance, that they might not only have been suppos
ed brothers, but t1vjns and from this similarity they
were called Castor and polux, by the rest Of the
months older than Percival, vet they were nearly
of the same height But this likeness only extend
ed to their persons, for little similarity subssted be-
tween their minds
Charles, however, had saved the life Of his school
fellow, and Percival's gratitude knew no bounds
for bathing evening, the latter, unfortunately,
was seized with the cramp, and must inevitably have
persisted, but for the exertions of his friend. The
mdness of Percivals disposition tempered the ma
tural impetuosity of Gordon's and was frequently
the means of preventing him from getting into
scrapes and as the former always received ample
allowance from his father the latter whose weakly
stipend was much more limited, found his wants rea
Oily supplied from his friends purse An attach
ment, formed from gratitude ON one side, and con-
venience on the other imperceptiby increased with

The attention of so handsome fellow as Gordon
soon disspated that sorrow which she pretended to
feels and the memory of the dear Mr.. Malaga no
longer received the well feigned tribute OF tear.
smile of JOY ilumined her detected countenance
whenever the fascinating Charles appeared; and a
declaration of oue from his lips, was too impressive
to be withstood. Margate happened to be the scene
of courtshp and in less than six weeks after their
first acquaintance, their future fate combined.
The delighted bridegroom, transported by his good
fortune, felt impatient to have shared by his friend
To Percival he had pretended that ndlspostion was
the motive which induced him to visit the sea-shore
for not certain of success, and knowing he would
condemn the very thought of an interested marriage,
he resolved not to mpart his intention until remon
strances would be vain.
The newspapers and the post announced Cor
don's fate at the same moment in the letter, the
bridegroom merely dwet upon the fortune of his
wife, without even touching upon her personal at
fractions, Or the qualifications of her mind His
counting house was in the adjoining street to that
where Percival resided, and he had a neat lodging
within few doors but he was now to remove to
more fashionable part of the torn, the lady to
whom he was united had elegant house i'll Har
ley-street Thther the new married pair directed
their course few days after the irevocable knot
was tied; as the bride was anxious to display her
possessions and the doating husband impatient to
see his friend
Curiosity, as we'll as affection carried Percval to
Harley-street few hours after the arrival of the
new-narried pair, and with difficulty could he refrain
from expressing his establishment at the infatuation
of Charles. That seIcinterest alone had influenced
! his conduct, was evident, for the manners of Mrs.
Gordon were neither polished nor refined: but,
what made her appear ridiculous and contemplate
was, she endeayored to ape all the grlish folly OF
sixteen. That she was both io7r-bred and u7educa-
| ted her conversation convinced him and, what
still more disgusting, she uaie and 1reah But
Charles, if fearful of hearing his friends opinion
when left together avoided all conversation about
his wife though upon the Judgements her fortune
would procure him, he expatiated with enthusiastic
| delight
Those enioyments, however, were soon embltter-
ed by the unamiable temper of his spouse whose
affection was so extremely ardent, that she would
not bear him to pay the slightest attention to any
| of her sex. and to the lovely Louisa she took
prea an aversion, that she could not treat her with
the civity that common politeness required
| Charles, on the contrary, was continually drawing
COMPARISONS between his o7cn and his friends rife
until Aayed supplied the place Of Indifference, which
he had not delicacy enough to conceal. That bust
