Ebenezer Alexander, or, as he was usual
y called, Eben Elshender, "A native of the
north of Scotland, was originally manufac-
turer, but not being successful in this line,
and falling INTO low spirits, he went to spend
some time at village where an elder and
more prosperous brother had beeching es-
Enlistment, in the hope of recovering the
tone of his mind by means of country air and
exercise. The place seemed at first sight
unlikely to cheer up an invalid of the mind,
being situated in IA high and sterile district,
with northeast exposure, and far from all
other human haunts but things turned out
much better than might have been expected
and we shall tell how this came about.
Eben. in his wandcrings in the neiglbor-
hood, was speedily attracted 10 hollow in
the neighboring moorlands, which might be
considered as the only place within several
miles presenting the least charm for the eye
ia brook, fringed by line of willows and
strip OF green, formed the simple elements
of the scene, and from its situation it had a
look of seclusion and warmth. lie was led,
by what he saw here, to surmsc that cleva-
ton Is not an nsuperabe difficulty in cult.
walton, provided there be shelter; and soon
becoming convinced of the fact, his active
mind in no long time conceived that he might
employ himself worse than in endeavoring
to clear little possession for himself at a
nominal rent out of the neghboring lands.
He looked around, but, excepting the few
patches in the neighborhood of the village,
the region was one either of unbroken heath
or of moss of great depth, broken into pits,
and flled with water even at midsummer
Nothing, therefore, could seem more hope
less. On the left only, as he looked north
ward, large fiat, lying TAR beneath him, and
black and barren, or covered with brown
heath, but looking to the sun, seemed to offer
the sembance of a cultivated field, and he
determined to visit it. He did so, but found
it very unpromising. The surface, though
apparently smooth at distance, was rough
and uneven: the soil was either stony and
shallow, or deep quick moss, wet every
where even IN summer, and with no fall by
which II might be drained. A rivulet skirt
ed it on the east, and was the natural boun.
Diary in that direction but a swell MANY
feet in height rose on the bank, and closed in
the surface of the proposed farm from almos,
the possibility of being drained; and there
were similar embankments on the north and
west. Still it was large surface, not mate.
rally uneven; it lay beautifully to the sun
and he could not but think that, if drained
and sheltered, and cultivated, here might be
an extensive, perhaps a valuable farm. L
would not require deep cuttings, as in mos.
flows, nor extensive dwellings, as in very un.
equal surfaces. He determined to think fur.
Their
lie spoke of his purpose to no one, but hi
brooded over it for days, again and agail
visiting the ground, and at last he waited OF
the agent of the proprietor. Even from hin
he exactcd promise of secrecy, if nothing
