Iieved that her father had observed
her through the gloom, and that her
fatal presence, in moment OF such
extreme weakness, had destroyed
him. A loud shrek escaped her lips
the infant fell from her bosom, and in
all the distraction Of maniac, she
rushed into the cottage; excIaiming,
Not till you have forgiven me not
TIL you have forgiven me my father,
stay .-'and throwing herself upon
his neck, she raised him franticly in
her arms.
Nothing could exceed the surprise
of Selwin aud Mary at so unexpected
sight: at FIRST they scarcely believed
their senses, that the blighted figure,
which had came thus unlocked for in
to the chamber of death, could be A
my CastletoD, her whom they once
loved, and whom, Notwithstanding
her fault, they were inclined 10 love
still. A. length as Selwin was about
to speak, the cry of child arrested
bis sttention; with that humanity " hich
ever marked his conduct, he burried
towards the garden, and snstchlng up
the infant, brought it into The house
Amy heard the voice of her babe; she
saw, too, that SeIwin had rescued X
from perisbing, and bean, Of almost
celestial gratitude seemed for an in
slant to light up those pale features
which she did not dare TO lift towards
his. C.stleior, who had been slow
" reco, ering at the moment when
the curate was about TO entreat Amy
to retire, lest the surprise should oc
cas;oD him relapse, now opened his
eyes, and fixing them on the coupte.
nance of h!s daughter, he endeavoured
to RAISE himself 20 as to persue her al
tered looks with intense inquiry: the
vsgue smile olinsaniiy which had res
ted on his brow during the time of
her absence, was succeeded by
flush OF joyful emotion, and throwing
himself iuio her arms with an hyste
rio, "you are come at last, Amy you
are come at las cried he. ana ,expir-
ed.
Selwin and Mary were hat too sen
slble that poor Castleton was no more;
while ANY appeared quite unconcious
of the fatal cnshge. SeIwin thought,
by presenting The infant, to divert her
attention fIom the body Of her father,
which had now fallen INTO its former
position on the bed, but iD vain--she
continued 10 gaze at The hieless body
before her with undated stiffness.
No sigh escaped her hoson'--no tear
strcsmed from her eyes, which were
open and fixed; and it was nor ill
selwin fell the thrilling co'dness Of
Amy's hand, that he perceived those
eyes were fixed in death. @.

has been forcibly opposed, and another
