was barely eighteen; the light of beauty
danced in her deep blue eye: but on this,
her bridal morn, its long silken lash hid
more than half its brightness, and the

old woman mounted The gentleman took the
torch in his hand, and moved slowly towards the
hut, about two miles from the place where he had
taken her up. The gentleman called the old wo-
man by name, which she thought, indeed piece of
wtchcraft-and he endeavored to console her, by
assuring her that her grand children could not be
lost. The woods, he said, were not sufficiently
large now to lose them in, as they once were, when
she first settled in that place-that few hours of
daylight would bring them home. She was quiet
until they came near the hut, when she burst into
fit of ecstacy, tnged with little of the tone of vexa

you hear them call me p The COW, too, had found
her way home, and all were happy. The gentle

world by pretending to tell fortunes or to find lost

The age of reason has come, and superstition is now
shaking from her raven wing the last dew-drop

Eugene was pursuing the study Of
his profession with a Mr.. Wiselaw,
a man that possessed every warm feel
ing of philanthropy, and was esteemed
by every person who knew him. He
was not among that number OF profes
sion who continually "set people by
the ears" and extort from their clients
more, perhaps, than they have gained
for them in their suit; but he was OF
those whose whole feelings entered in
TO the cause of his client, and wbolook
ed upon his case as thought it was his
own. He was an honour to his pro-
f%es,ion, and, Of conscqunce, an honor
to society in general.-This was the
man whom Mr.. Millimour employed
to prosecute Eugene's suit, and to take
such care of his affairs as they need
