Hone-A Sketch.

What world Of meaning is conveyed by
that single word' What does it not imply
of hope and gladness, of sweet memory,
strong affections, and pure and stingless
pleasures? And although Stunned and mis-
cradle may be the being, even then may be
found home where dwell those who are
dear unto the heart. But the question is,
! how may they be received? The doubt
may infict greater agony on the spirit, than
the bitterest taunts of the most savage per-
,secutors. II was dusk when an old man
entered his native village, and involuntariIy
he skunk along with a slealthy step lest the
sound of his foot might awaken animosity.
Many weeks had elasped since he was last
there, and though all was still the same it
looked different 10 him. There were the
same cottages, with their low, quaint fences,
and walls draperied with honey-suckle and
roses; but as he passed they seemed to
frown on him somewhat Of the adherence
with which the once kindly tenants now
would meet him. The village church, built
ona rising ground, was soon observed, look
ing shadowy and spectre-ike amid the
gloom: and he remembered his childish awe,
should be one day placed beneath the green
turf which girt j, round now he would
that he had laid there then. There, too,
was the blacksmith's shed, where l.e often
had loitered in idle hours; some work sill
detained the blacksmith at his anvil, and il
was surrounded by loungers, talking eagerly
alas. he could but too we'll guess the SUBJ
ject of their conversation. little shop,
with oranges, eggs, cakes, bull's.eyes, and
such kind of sweelmeats, in the window,
stood near; it was his mothers he had not
seen her since his arrest, and he knew that
she had. been very i'll during the interval
i'll though distress at the charge brought
against him. Long ere this she would
have known Of his release; would she, could
she, too, share in the general aversion he
had excited? 1t was he who knew himself,
