Tradition of Olden Times.

The town of Rye is one of those retired,
unobtruslve and undesirable spots, which
abound in thickly settled counties every
where. 1t is slowed away on the sea coast
of New Hampshire in such manner as 10
be near the great world of business, and, al
the same time, to some extent, cut off from
the contact and observation of people. One
might travel New England over and over
again, and, until some accident sent him
peIl nell, unbidden and uncalled, into this
land OF sea-weed and strong potatoes, he
might die in ignorance of the name and
place of such a town. Yet, retired and
unabtrusive or unknown as the place may
be, and SO little marked by the hand Of
fame as are its sons, still one famous deed
is said to have been enacted here, which
belongs 10 the history of the country.
After the ratification with Great Britain
of the treaty, which has usually been
known as Jays Treaty." deal of party
leellng was generated on the subject thro'-
out the country. Indeed, it was made
completely party question. One portion
of the people denounced it without mercy
as the high road to national ruin, while
others were disposed to give the matter 9
fair trial and the favor or opposition
which man showed to this treaty, was Ia
ken in great measure as a test of his DO
lltcal heresy or orthodoxy.
Under circumstances like these, it wa,
natural to expect that Mr.. JAY would come
in for large share of odlum from the op
position. This feeling was shown in vari
Gus ways i'll different places. But it wa,
reserved for the inhabitants Of Rye to testi
ly their disapprova Of the treaty in way
which will establish their claims to patriot.

Mr.. JAY was not at hand, and execution,

therefore determined that punishment should
be administered by proxy, and the neares

be the suffering victim. Accordingly one

another was despatched into the woods fol

bird was easily caught. The eager multi.

the fury of party strife and deter all future
JAYS from the preparation of like treaties

CHAPTER V.

The appointed hour had arrived in
which Louisa was to make her escape.
Henry had completed his preparations,
and was already awaiting her in the lit
tie arbor; yet hour after hour passed, and
still she came not. Had she changed
her mind! certainly not, or she would
have apprised him of it; perhaps she
had been detected the previous night,
and was now confined to her apartment.
He kept his eye fixed upon her window,
but could detect no object within; he
now became seriously alarmed lest some
evil had befallen her. Yet, il might be,
that she was only watched so closely
that she had no chance of making her
situation known. He hoped another
nigh, would explain all; but night after
night he repaired to the little arbor, in
hopes to gain some intelligence of her,
and each day for more than week he
ascended the hill which overlooked Mr..
Langley's mansion, in hopes he might
catch glimpse of her while engaged in
her domestic employment. Yet day and
night was he doomed to be disappointed.
AT length one day while reclining meath
the shade of an old oak, which grew on
the brow of the hill, he saw female en-
gagged in washing; at first sight he tho't
1t was Louisa; but upon closer examin-
alton he found he was mistaken, for she
was evidently much older. "She must
be washerwoman from the city," tho't
he, 81 will watch her and if she
leaves the house, will follow her and as
certain what has become of Louisa
Henry kept his station until near sun
Sc, when he saw the woman depart. and
as he had anticipated, take her way to-
wards the city. lie was soon on her

A Beautiful Thought.

The correspondent of the N. Y. Com
mercial, who writes letters from Italy,
over the signature of douglas, appears
to be scholar. Some of his thoughts
are full of beauty. He says:
"rhe Christian traveller opens his BIZ
bic with ivelier interest as he Jour
neys through the classic regions of the
Roman Empire. The books of prophe-
cy and revelation abound with illusions
to the rise and fall of this formidable
power. Italy was the heart and soul oil
this vast empire and is hallowed BY some
OF the most interesting "reminiscences OF
Christianity. The eplstles of Ephe-
SLAMS, Philippians, Colossians, Phile-
mon, Hebrews, Peter, Timothy, and the
gospel of ST. Mark. were all written in
Italy. Paul, the prince of Apostles, was
prisoner aud preacher at Rome, and
for two whole years continued resident
of that city, and there presented his ap-
peal to Cesar. In passing through pla-
ces and localities of historical. importance,
| have been accustomed TO gather aow-
ers and distribute them through the leaves
of my pocket bible; these souvenirs have
so perfumed the volume, that whenever
| open the book to read, ] fancy inhale
the breath OF angels among the leaves.
When was in Rome, visited the beau
titul gardens attached to the Pa2al Pal
ace on Mt. Quirinal; carried this lille
volume with me there; some OF my fel-
low coun,rymen observing it in my
hand, eagerly inquired, "lf it was a
guide to the gardens OF the popes"-
"No," replied |, sit is guide to The gar
dens of Paradise!''
