THE RAINBOW.

solitary Pedestrian was roaming over the glens
and mountains in a wild district of the Northern
Highlands of Scotland, when a rainbow began to
form itself over part of the magnificent landscape.
lie was, not without reason melancholy and grief
haunted man and the growing beauty of that ap-
partition insensibly touched his heart with delight
ed happiness to which he had for considerable time
been stranger AS the varied brightness Of the
arch, which as yet was scarcely united, but showed
only several glowing fragments, gradually became
more vivid, his whole being felt sympathetic exhi-
iaratlon-despondenCy and sorrow faded away, and
he once more eXulted in the natural freedom of the
prime of life. While he was gazing, the Rainbow
became perfect, and bound the earth and heaven
together in span Of JOY. The glory illuminated
two mountains, and the glen between them, opening
up beneath that efulgence, appeared to be ma
jestlc entrance into another and more magnificent
world. The sides of these two mountains rent with
chasms and tumbGng torrents, were stepped in the
beautiful stains of the arch SO that the rocks seem
ed clothed with purple, and the waterfalls to roll
down in gold. AS the rainbow began to dissolve,
the summit of the arch gave way, and the gorgeous
colours forsaking the sky, embodied themselves in
mass of splendor on each side Of that wide glen
For few moments the edge of each mountain was
yelled and hidden in that radiance but it gradually
melted away into colourless air. the atmosphere was
again open, and few showery clouds, seen hanging
opposite the sun, were all that remained to tell of
the vanished Rainbow. But all the green fields and
all the woods were glttering in freshened beauty
the birds were singing-the cattle lowing on the
hills-and the raven and the kite were aloft in hea
ven There jubilee-and the lonely man who
had been sitting rock, entranced in that vision,
rose up and nwardly said, "Let my way lie up that
glen, whose glorious portal has vanished--let me
walk beneath what was like triumphal arch but a
moment ago, into the solitary magnifcence of ma
ture"
The Eremite pursued his way up the wooded

NIT OF the Cliffs before him long expanse Of
black sulen moor, which he crossed-and beau.
tlful vale suddenly expanded beneath him, with cuI.
tlyated fields, woods and groves, and among many
huts sprinkled about like rocks, one mansion 10
which they all seemed oapperain, and which, with
out any grandeur, yet suited in its unpretendinr
and venerable soemnty the character of that lonely
and lovely place. He descended into the vale. and
happy he knew not why, walked along the widen
ing stream, till he found himself in lawn and close
by the Mansion which he had discerned from the
hill above, but which had till now been concealed
by grove At this moment, lust as he was about
to turn back, two ladies stood close beside him. and
with slight embarrassment the stranger explained
to them how unconscousy he had been led to in
trude upon their privacy, and after that salutation
was about to retire. But the impression which ele
giant and cultivated minds make on each other in a
moment, when unexpectedly brought together in
situation calculated to show something of their cha
racter, now prevented SO sudden parting,-and
they who had thus casually met, having entered in
to conversation, began in few minutes to feel al
most like friends. The stranger, who had beenled
into this vale by sort of romantic impulse, could
not help feeling as if this meeting almost ar
adventure. And it was no doubt an impressive
thing to young Englishman wandering among the
Highland mountains, to form an acquaintance in h;s
way with two such persons as those with whom he
was now engaged in pleasant conversation. They
seemed to be Mother and Daughter and when,
after about half hours walk, the stranger found
hlmselfin spacious and elegant room, the guest Of
a high bred and graceful Lady in widows weeds
and apparently with one beautiful daughter in her
retirement, he could scarcely help thinking thatihe
vague imagination which led him thher under
the i3anbow's arch, might have some influence even
on the complexion Of his future life. He had long
been melancholy man and minds Of that charac
ter are often the most apt to give way to sudden
emotions Of glatlness. He closed up all remem-
brance Of one fatal incident in his life under heap
OF fresh-sprngns and happy thoughts and feelings;
and animated by the novelty of his situation, as well
as by the interesting character of those whose hos
pltalty he sharing, never had he felt 80
free from anxiety and sorrow, and 50 like his former
self, capable of the enjoyment of life and eve
ry thing around him that beautiful and enlivcn.
ing. AS the evening drew on, his heart was sad TO
think that, as he had come stranger 50 like sran-
ger must he be departing but these few hours tad
sunk into his heart, and he would remember them
as long he lived, and in the remotest parts Of the

may be useful to others. Though had frequently
seen and conversed with him, during the last, and
the present session of congress, and always with
much freedom on his part, and real respect mine
-and notwithstanding we had spent many hours
together, he never before had referred TO the Pres
iden,ial question. He seemed resolved to avoid 1t,
and it was not proper in me to press it upon him
but now he spoke Of the elections made by the
House of Representatives, with great deal offrank-
ness and feeling. With the former he expressed
himself grathed-the poll that had been made for
him was honorable, and he was thankful for the
confidence which the people had reposed-hc could
never forget it but there was no assumption oil
merit in himself that he deserved tit was the
peoples own business, and they had done as they
pleased. He then expressed himself after the fol-
lowing manner. He had no doubt but that large
portion of The citizens would be satisfied with the
choice about to be made and he seemed to think il
most probable that it would devolve on Mr.. Adams
He further observed, that many, in his opinion
were unpleasantly situated, seeing that they were
compelled TO act either against Mr.. Adams or him
lset-but that this was matter OF small Importance
lcompared with an adherence TO the provisions oil

election Of President, which now belonged to the
Representatives of the states. 1t we'll he said
that persons should differ in opinion, that truth
might be more certainly ascertained-but he added
with that earnesness and force, which is peculiar &c
him, we should aLuags recollect that, in maintain
ing our oun opinions, zoe naturally grantthe righ
to others Of supporting theirs, or lose every pre-
tension to repubLicanism and he further remarked
it was matter of small moment to the people who
was their president, provided he administered The
Igoyernment rightfully."
