Parting interpiezo zvith EN- mett... The
evening before his death, while the
workmen were busy with the scatiold, a
young lady was ushured into his dun
geon. Ii was the girl whom he so fond
ly loved, and who had now come to bid
him an eternal farewell. He was lean
ing, in melancholy mood, against the
window frame Of his prison, and the
heavy clanking Of his irons, smote dis
mally on her heart.-The interview was
bitterly affecting, and melted even the
callous soul Of the jsiler. AS for EN-
nett, himself, he wep, and spoke little
but as he pressed his beloved IN silence
10 his bosom, his countenance betrayed
his emotions. In low voice, half choak-
ed with anguish, he besought her no. 10
forget him !: he reminded her Of their
former happiness, Of The long past days
of their childhood, and concluded by re-
guessing her sometimes to visit the
scenes where their infancy was spent,
and though the world might rspeat his
name with scorn, to cling 10 his memo
ry with affection. Al this very instant
the evening bell pealed from the neigh
boring church. Emmett started at the
sound, and as he felt that this was the
last time he should ever hear its dismal
echoes, he folded his beloved still closer
to his heart, and ben, over her sinking
form with eyes streaming with affection.
