Robert was filed with sore surprise

~
To learn what they had done,
lie sprang from bed, and sieered for court
As fast as he could run.
His friends were more astonished still !,
The witch's final hour
Had come, they thought, and she was now
Exerting all her power
So after Robert they all ran, t.faa... ~,
Bawling with all their might,
"Witchcraft Witchcraft Stop, Lunaticr
Twas an amusing sight, .---
But Robert reached the court before, -
They could come up with bim, - fof
Quito out OF breath, and half undresse6,
And in woful trim. 80. b.
And soon the rest came rushing in,
II made the people stare - - 5
And the cold chlls ran through their veins
And horror froze their hair.
Twas clear that Robert was bewitched.
This could not be denied, 4,-.
For straight he went and took his seat
BY widow Nabby's side, ~
find there he sat and whispered soft, +,
Not with the widow,-no:
The widow had daughter, and
Her daughter sat there too. ',,
In short time no rose and spoke,
(.all eyes began to water,)
clam not bewitched, by Widow Gray;
The witch is Jane-- her daughter"
The matter soon was understood,
' He was in love with Jane,
find try to hide 1t as she would,
She loved him back again. ~
She was lovely looking girl,
4 Her eyes appeared as bright.
As stars, that in the clear blue sky,
Give beauty to the night.
Health, with his pencil, on her cheek
Had spread his richest bues
She found him on the mountains side
Among the early dews. a4
And gentleness was in her heart,
And music in her voice
Ah! is it strange that Robert should
Have made Jane Gray his choice?
His heart was hers: twas wholly hers
And hers was wholly his;
Alas that aught should ever be, {.
To interrupt their bliss. ---'
But Roberto friends, tho't Jane, are rich
They live in high estate
And why should he not ta ke wife
Among the rich and grout? 80
I'll let him choose a wortlier bride,
For humble is my lot;
Here il is ft should ABIDE,
Withi,. my mothers cot. "
: So when to her his ardent love
Young Robert did reveal,
She always strove within her breast
Her passion to conceal.
AT fcng,h she bade him come no more
1t touched to the quick: .y.
Twas dou ,,ing made him sad before, \
Twas this that made him sick. u
But after he had gone away,
Jane thought the matter novers
And charged her mind, and fow words
Gave comfort to her lover n
And in few weeks Afterwards,
Jane stood by Roberts side
In that same place, aud thero he made
The lovely witch his bride. O.

THE WITCH.-A TALE.

4
About hundred years ago,
Lived Widow Nabby Gray;
As honest, clever, kind a soul,
As ever saw the day. -.a.,-.
+, Her dwelling was little cot,
That stood beneath tree;
And such wild, romantic spot.
lis seldom That we see.
+ Twas at lofty mountains base. -,
Whose steep and craggy side
Rose up among the winds AID storms,
And all their power dofcd.
And Just in front n foaming stream yfi
Dashed furiously by; ssaia
And forest trees, on every side,h II
Liited their branches high, apa, /,
A scanty acre had been leared, i~f
Around tho little cot !; ,s'..q,Evf ~
And in this lonely place was cast ls
Aunt Nabby's humble lot asi sr
10 the samo town Squire Wilson lived
He was a man Of note
In town affairs twas said that he fa 4.
Could carry every vote,
The people shought him very wise,
b. And ho was pretty rich: s.t
And ho gave out that he'd no doubt,
Aunt Nabby was q witch. -.s
For his SON Robert long had bcca
In melancholy mood,
Was restless, downcast, and grew thin,
And did not relish food.
And now, with fever raging high,
lie was in bed conined;
His body In great agony, *
And trouble IN his mind.
And onco or twice he had been soon,
Just al the close of day., .,tt N,
In the lone footpath, walking tow'rds
The cot Of Widow Gray.
So nobody h. ~ doubt e
That Robert mas bewitched
A constable was therefore sent,
And Widow Gray he fetched. x
And brought hcr 10 the meeting house.
That she might there be tried
And be condemned for guilt confessed,
Or else for guilt denied.
For il fdenied, or ifconfcssed, t
IL was no matter which ~.,..s...-.it' +.
In those days eiiheir was enough
To prove the accused witch. 3,
The minister was tl,en called in,
nat through his influence, ifi fst
Such evil spirits as might come, - SO d
Should all be driven hence.
And all the people, old and young,
Assembled at the court .iif'
Some came 10 hear the widows doom, q.

Ireachsry IN Friendship.-The specious
pretender who artfalIy gains the confidence
OF an amiable and unsuspecting heart, then
wautonly betrays it, of all vilisns deserves
most to be detested. The robber may pos.
sess generosity, the murderer will some
times display great and rare qualities, but
the false betrayer of implicit friendship can
have no character above contracted lttleness
II is a maxim, well established in moral
philosophy, that men are influenced in their
conduct by what appears 10 them to be their
interests. Yet what ingenuity can discern
an interest in basely abusing the trust Of an
honest man, who has paid you the compli-
ment Of supposng you worthy of his conf.
dence Is there any pleasure in viewing
the keen notifications of one whom, by the
same blow, you have cruelty injured and
greatly disappointed ? If such sight can
please you, how much has vice changed the
original simplicity Of your nature The
propensity of first gaining a confidence,
then 10 betray it, springs from quarter
which, at FIRST view, we shouldlnotI suspect.
For, from a careful scrutiny of the bosom,
we have found it uniformly grated oua lit.
tie ambition for low praise. Corrupted
minds imagine there is cunning in ensnar.
ing an innocent heart and, when used with
success, the gentle tickle of vanity excites
in their bosoms q plessurable scnsatien.--
But It is a savage pleasure. such as the
hawk enjoys when he darts upon the heed
less warbler Of the forest or such as is ex-
perienced by the double tongue serpent,
when he has charmed into his power the
unsospeciing futterer of a neighboripg bush.
