AN ADVENTURE UPON THE ROAD.
OR, THE MYSTERIOUS coRREsPoNpENcE.
OR, THE y

About thirty years ago, Mr.. b. hav-
ing at that time newly commenced busi-
ness in Edinburgh, was returning on
horseback from the city to a cottage he
had near Cramond. ltwas wild night
in November, and though he usually
took the seaside as the shortest way
home, he resolved this evening, on ac-
count of the increasing darkness, to keep
on the high road When he had pro-
ceeded about three miles from the town,
and had come to the loneliest part of the
way, he was suddenly arrested by a
man, who sprang out OF small copse at
the road side, and seized the bride of
his horse. MIR. b. was a man of grea at
calmness and resolution, and asked the
man the reason Of his behavior, without
betraying the smallest symptom of agita-
ton. Not so the assailant. He held
the bride in his hand, but MIR. B. re-
marked that it trembled excessively
After remaining some time, as if irreso-
lutte what to do, and without utterng a
word, he let 60 his hold Of the rein, and
said in a trembling voice,
pass on, sir, pass on and then he
added, thank heaven, am yet free
from crime
Mr.. B. was struck with the manner
and appearance Of the man, and said, 4
fear you are in distress-is there any
thing in which stranger can assist your
Strangers may, perhaps replied the
man in a bitter tone, for nothing is to be
hoped from friends
'You speak, / hope, under some mo-
mentary feeling Of disappointment

plants to you. Go home and thank the
Almighty that better spirit withheld
me from my first intention when heard
you approach-or this might have BEEN
he suddenly paused.
Stranger said Mr.. b. in tone Of
real kindness, you say you have no
right to utter your complaints to me;
have certainly no right to pry into your
concerns, but am interested, / confess,
by your manner and appearance, and |
frankly make you an offer Of any assis
tance / can bestow.'

ger, the person TO whom you make SC

THE MORALIST.
-'Th' only amaranthino flower on earth,
is virtue; tn only lasting treasure, truth"

Of all passions, gaming is the most
dangerous and inexcusable. A game
ster endeavors to enrich himself with the
spols Of those whom he calls his friends
But how many armies are IN arms against
him. Behold that mother, her tears re-
proach him with the ruin Of her only
son! That father pronounces his name
with horror and contempt TO his children;
pursued by hatred, overwhelmed by
calumny, he feels himself condemned by
reason and humanity, and after wander.
ing long in the mazes of vice he finds
nothing before his eyes but ruin and re-
morse.

his manners. They may be awkward
or graceful, blunt or polite, polished or
rustic, care not what they are, if the
man means well and acts from honest in

Of "good society,"" as it is called, to
school themselves in all its fantastic
