as he looked upon the wide domain before him, and
thought how sad it would be to hear the Joyous
horn summonng his companions to the chase and
find himself prevented from attending it 5; to hear
the winter wind bowling round bis tower, and rush
ing between the rocks beneath him, and miss the
cheerful song and meiTy jest, which were wont to
make even the blast a4merry sound. Certainly his
time passed as pleasantly circumstances permit
ted lie drew up IN basket at his meal hours
every luxury which the season produced. His ia
ther and sisters daily conversed with him from be-
low, for considerable time and the morris dane
ers often raised his laughter by their grotcsque
movements. Weeks and months passed. and Wal
ter still was well and cheerful. His own and his
sisters hopes grew more lively, but Sir Msuriccs
anxiety increased. The day drew near which was
torestore his to his arms in confident security or
to fulfil the prediction which left him without an
heir to his name and honours.
On the preceding afternoon, Walter continually
endeavored to cheer his parent, by speaking of
what he would do on the morrow, desired his sis
ters to send round to all their friends that he might
stretch his limbs once more in the merry dance, and
continued to talk of the future with such confidence.
that even Sir Maurice caught spark of hope from
the fiery spirit of the youth. AS the night drew
on, and the sisters were about to leave him, pro-
missing to wake him at Six in answer to the usual
inquiry if he wanted any thing more that night,
'nothing,' said he and yet the night feels chlvi

suddenly covered the planet and he shuddered at
the omen.

tons that occupied his mind were continually va

saw the prediction verified and the child Of his love

logy was considered science as unerring as holy
prophecies it would have been little less than inf
deity to have doubted the truth of the prediction.
Sir Maurice, however, was wise enough to with
hold the paper from his lady, and in answer to her
inquiries, continually asserted that the gypsy
impostor, and that tie object of his assuming the
character of an astrooger was merely her aims
The child grew in health and beauty; and we
are the more strongly attached to pleasures in pro-
portion to the brevity of their continuance, 50 did
the melancholy fate of his son more firmly fix him
in the heart of Sir Maurice. Often did the wonder
ing lady observe the countenance Of her husband
with surprise, watching the endearlng sportye,
ness Of the boy, frightened by the smile Of pa
terna love, til it gradually darkened to the deep
est grief, until unable to suppress his tears, he
would cover the child with caresses, and rush from
the room. To all inquiries Sir Maurice was silent,
or returned eyasive answers. We shall pass over
the infancy Of young Walter, and resume the mar
ratye Of the period in which he entered his TWEEN
teth year. HIS mother was now dead and had left
two other children, both girls, who, however, shar-
ed little of their fathers love, which was almost ex-
clusiyely fixed on Walter, and appeared to increase
in strength the fatal time grew near.
1t is not to be supposed that he took no precat-
ton against the predicted event Sometimes hope
suggested that mistake might have been made in
the horoscope, or that the astrologer might have
overlooked some sign which made it conditional
and IN unison with the latter idea he determined to
erect strong building where, during the year in
which his doom was to be consummated, Walter
might remain in solitude He ACCORDINGLY gave d.

OF AFFECT poverty. The following is an extract from
the letter:

were asked, he remained mute, even after we had pre-
