MISCELLANY.
A STORY OE THE PLAGUE.
BY LEIGH HUNT.

A Young merchant Of Marseilles was
seized with symptoms Of the plague, just
as the day had been fixed which was to un-
ite him with his mistress. Some difficult
ties had been thrown in the way of the
union by Grabbed guardian; and many
hours had not elapsed from their removal,
and every thing been settled (Which the
lover hasiened to see done with great i'm
patience) when the terrible spots appeared
that were to cut him off from the commun-
ION with the unaffected. II is supposed
that The obstacles in the first instance, and
the hurry afterwards, threw his blood into
fe:ment, which exasperaied the attack.
He wished to make light of tie matter, and
go about his ordinary concerns hut the
s,rangeness Of his sensations, aud the
thought of the peril that he might bring
to his mistress, soon made him give OPP
this prrtension. lie said that his horror nt
first inclined him to cry aloud, to tear his
hair, and dash himself against the wall of
the room; but the thoughts Of her again
controlled him, and he resolved To go
through every thing as patiently as might
be, les, he should add to his chances Of
losing her. He sent her message, to llin,
effect, bidding her to he of good heart ;
and then IN "A passion Of tears, which he
resolved should be his lost, but which, he
said, seemed to give him wonderful Kind
Of support, bctook himself to his prayers
and so to his bed.
He was soon left alone with none but
an old nurse TO attend hun; (; but as he did
not sleep, and the good woman observing
