 Miss POasOMby.-The romantic history of these two ladies has been frequently before the public in partial form but we be-
 lieve the circumstances connected with 1t Nhave never been clearly stated. No trav-
 eller can mass through the beautiful vale
 of Llang0Ilsn without having pointed out !. to him the vailetin which they have dwelt.
 The following interesting particulars are
 collect6dfIrom an article on the subject tn
 the Hyitish Magazine they are evidently
 fiom the pen of a writer who knew both
 the ladies well. One of them was of the SIaWlly of Ormond, and tho other of the
 Besborough. In early life they formed
 romantic attachment, as deep as it proved to be lasting, and determined to enjoy their < friendship in perfect seclusion. Their ss history is briefly as follows: -
 E" By a singular coincidence, which .sestruck their iMaginalion.- they were both Q tNknin Dublin, on the same day, in the same ear and they lost their parents at
 the same lime so that these orphans see-
 med intended by the hand of Providence
 for mutual sympathy. They were brought
 up together, and, as they grew in years,
 talked over the similarity of their fates,
 and easily persuaded themselves they were
 designed by Heaven to pass through life together. They spent much of their time
 at the Castle of Kilkenny, the seat of the Ormond family. where they were observed
 to shun the society of others, and always to seek retirement within themselves and as they were now about eighteen, at a time of life when their settlement in the world might be looked for, it was the anxious wish of their friends tha. they should mix with company as other young persons of their age and sex. One morning, however, they were missing, and no inquiry could trace them in the neighborhood but at length they were discovered in disguise on board a merchants vessel, about to sail ] from the harbor of Waterford. They | were brought back and separated, and l every means taken to wean them from this | extraordinary, and as it appeared to their
 friends, most injurious attachment for each | other 1; but it seemed fixed and unalterable, and in some time they were allowed to pur- sue the bent of their own inclinatiOus.
 They again proceeded to a seaport, em-
 parked in Welsh trader, and were landed
 among the romantic mountains of north
 Wales. From thence they proceeded from the coast, through the chain of val-
 leys have mentioned. at that time all but | closed from human intrusion, aud nearly l impossible. except by goats and mountain ponies. Here they searched in vain for retired spot tn which they could fix their residence. The dreary and desolate region presented no habitation which could afford l them even a temporary shelter; and they passed thro' the last valley of Llangollen, l and were about to leave in despair seclu- ded district. where they had fondly hoped to settle themselves. 'While leaving this hope with heavy hearts, said Miss Pom sonby. when communicating her hiso,- " to me, we turned round to take last look at this land of promise the setting sun gas then shining OE the romantic ruins of Dinas Bran, and it's sloping beams gave to the wooded sides of the glens so lovely an aspect, that it seemed to invite our return; SO we determined to go back and again search for residence in ahe shadow of the mountains.s They could ind none for the night but mean hovel on he naked side of a hill, and in this they 'helteFed themselves, and the next morning | greed with it's poor inmates for their hut.
