On fine day in the month 0, June, funeral
procession issued from the parkgates Of WoodIey-

The rancorous abuse Of Mr.. Clay by the parti-

this abuse affect so much respect for The good
sense Of the people will detect the hypocrisy Of it,
and see IN II more of disappointed ambition than
public virtue, which is made the stalking horse be-

(coScLuDED
Daily did the maiden attend the couch of the
youth, and ere long fame kindled by the
torch of love which mutually glowed in the breasts
of Blanche and Fergus-two weeks had elapsed
and though perfectly recovered still did the youth
remain the inmate of Linlith castle. The predic-
tons of Breda of the Lone-Hut were forgotten by
our heroine, who, accompanied by her lover (for SO
we may consider Fergus Bane) resumed her
rambles through grove and dale. 1t was in one of
those rambes that Fergus declared the passion
which animated his bosom, with hopes that she,
who with tenderness and anxiety had attended his
sick couch, would bless him with the bestowal of
heart and hand-E Nay, dearest Blanche he added,
do not remain silent, although it is said silence is
oonstructively consent yet from those sweet lips

maiden, your happiness is dear to me as life -
and if it should SO please my grandfather, that
should be the humble instrument to secure it, it
would be only raising the superstructure upon the
foundation which Love has already laid 'The
snare has been laid, and the victim is taken' ex-
claimed voice, which Blanche recognized as the
SYPHILIS. involuntarly she grasped the arm of Fer
gus as she behed Breda, in the same attitude as
when she first beheld her, and gazing upon her
with the same steadness.-s Didst thou enter the
lists, Blanche Dhu Lnlith, with destiny' said Bre-
da, in a tone of bitter sarcasm. 81 sought not to

Breda-'and this is your Bridegroom Joy to you!

is joy in the present Joy to you as there will be

reflected on the strange import of her words. At
