Jenny Lind has occasioned more excitement

probable that few Montreaers can boast Of having
heard the Swedish Nightingale Mr.. Hayes, the

And the work Of improve ment, which is rpping
mountains inside out, opening caves under naviga-
bic rivers, bridges the sea, and turning the
world upside down, has crept in, at last, upon the
consecrated stiffness, decreptude. and decay, of
Mount Vernon. From the beach strong and dsra-
bic wharf has been run out into the river, az the
steamboat landing, and graded way for the pas
seDgers has been excavated from tho hillside,
leading up to the tonb of Washington, and thence,
around the hillside, under those old black oak
trees, to the lawn in front Of the familiar view Of
the mansion.
1t is due to Colonel John A. Washington, the pre-
sent proprietor, to say that this accommodation Of
steamboat passage from the Federal city to Mxn
Vernon, for one dollar the round trip, has not only
been introduced with his consent, but at his in
stance. The annoy al &c to the family, Of the
s,antly struggling parties overland, is almest en-
tirely abated, and the arrival Of one or two hun
dred passengers, by the steamboat, upon stated
days of the week, remaining an hour or So. and
then departing in body, is an advantage 10 all
concerned. The principal rooms Of the house are
thrown open-the captain OF the boat is the guide
OF the company, and the whole thing is arranged
orderly and Systematically, with the full privilege
OF n PIC. mic any where on the grounds.
The whole scene is very beautiful to-day.
Under Upright October sum-" with the first

bright yellow Of the hickory, the deep green Of the

shades of the persimmon, the sasafras, the black,
red, Spanish, and chestnut oaks and other trees,
throw upon the hills the most gorgeous costume Of
the dreamy Indian summer The melancholy

Maitland had not heard. for seizing the
little bracelet, his eyes, his whole soul
were bent on4the words, "Amy Doug

no mistake-he had seen it too often
pushed aside when it rubbed on the
ultramarinc border of her harp. Inex-
pressibly shocked, he directed the SOL
dier TO make written statement, which.
duly signed and witnessed. he took, en-
closed the bracelet. and, placed the
package in his escrutoire.
De Grey followed Amy to DumbIane,
where they resided for few weeks
Old Mrs. Eppie Burns was intrusted
with the secret, which she kept faith
fully. Runaway matches were very
common, and as she had known many
to turn out the happiest in the end, the
mystery and romance attached to the
adventure, added to the confidence
placed in herself, gave the old woman
an importance which elevated her
greatly in her own estimation. She
was a true and good woman withal,
and when at parting, Amy placed in
her hand a pretty little volume Of bor-
der melodies. the tears ran down her
cheeks, and Heron took the book and
wrote in il, athe gilt of Amy De Grey"
This little incident passed without OBJ
servation from The lady, but Jessy was
a smart lass. who never overlooked any
thing. and she examined the writing
carefully before Mistress Eppie con-
signed it to the depths of a spacious
"kis,,H sacred to the earnings Of along
life.
Amy returned TO Edinburgh, to meet
her long absent father, and before they
set out for the north. she met Maitland

served than usual but no less kind, and
in taking leave of his fair cousin, he

CHAPTER ".


Autumn passed away and winter,
with lis leaiiess forests and snow-cap-
ped hills, reigned without Within
Mrs. Maitlanfs exquisite little draw
ing-room the bright fire sent a cheer
ful blaze, and its crimson curtains and
antique furniture were all in perfect
keeping. The chords Of Amy's harp
rose above the bowling of the .blasf,
and at bedtime the venerable lady,
laying aside her satin-wood spinuing-
wheel, would summon her little house,
hold. and unclasping the old family
Bible, she ended each day by explain
ing the sacred volume to her depend
ents.
Towards spring, without any COM
plaint. her health rapidly declined.--
She was fully sensible of the change,
but forbore to distress Amy, who had
for some time lost her usual gayety,
and appeared frequently depressed
The kind grandmother knew no cause
for this change, and caressing her af-
fectlonately sometimes, she would
speak of her cousin, Frederick Matt
land. in the highest terms of praise, in
the hope, which she had long ulged,
that Mai!laRd's regard would one day
be returned.
As De Grey was overlooking news
paper one morning in the mess room,
he saw announced sthe sudden death
of Mrs. Maitland at Daisy Down.
Laying aside the paper. he said to him.
sell, II must see Amyw :
To bid farewell to spot so loved as
Daisy Down, would have tried the sem
sitive feelings of Miss Douglas deeply !;
but to leave it forever, at a moment
when Tits associations were so closely
connected with her fevered relative,
was like tearing the ivy from the roof
to which it clung. Her arm chair, her
spinning wheel, her fiowers-but there
was no alternative, and she accom-
panied her uncle. Mr.. Douglas, to Ed
inburgh, to remain there till the re-
turn of her father The wife of Mr..
Douglas was an English lady of singu-
lar beauty. She received the nourncr
kindly, but her disposition, unfortu.
nately, was not one calculated "io min
is,er to mind diseased her powers
of fascination were great: however,
they could not always atone for the
wounds inflicted by very capricious
and .fitful temper. Amy tried 10 make
the best of her new situation, but she
continued TO be a mourner, and her
health and spirits ware both much af
iected. Maitland was quartered at
Por,obello, near the city, consequently
he saw her frequently; he mixedmuch,
too, in the world Of fashion, but there
was none there who possessed, Tin his
es,imation,l the deep feeling and per.
fectly natural character of the being
who had unconsciously riretted hrs
affections.
