PROGRESS OF FIcTloN.-The flimsiest
modern novel that ever a young lady de-
voured, or critic sneered at, is infinite.
ly superior in artistic arrangement and
skiIful continuity Of plot 10 even the most
readable of ancient fictions. Their dull.
ness and monotony, their clumsy machin-
cry and improbable incidents, render them
little interesting to persons who believe
neither in witches nor fairies. who would
prosecute necromancer for obtaining
money on false pretences, and show giant
at a fair. We regard them, therefore
much in the same light as we contemplate
barbarous pictures; both are devoid of
perspective; in the one we have impossi-
bic characters, in the other dislocated
wrists. The picture indicates shady
grove by vast conglomerate Of round
apples perched on sticks the story de.
scribes fearful shipwrecks, horrible slaugh,
ters, and miraculous adventures, as the
usual and natural accidents of life. But
we may, nevertheless, learn from both
from the one. fashions of head-gear ;
from the other, fashions of thought while
the simple fact that the picture was once
admired as work ofart, and the story
held in honor as literary performance,
is in itself abundantly instructive.

A Miser's Bequest to Queen Victoria.

A man who died in England ,bequeathed
So, 500 900 to Queen Victoria. His name
was Nield and the bequest consists chiefly
of land, scattered il various counties.
Neild was barrister at law, and died in
Chelsea, aged rs years. He was possessed
of an immense fortune, bu, was of very
eccentric and penurious habits. AT the
death of his father, thirty years since, he
came in possession of about Sl'25O,OOO,
which sum had not been touched up to the
period of his death. The deceased was
never known to wear a great coat, and
would not allow his dress coat TO be brush
ed, as it would take off the knap and
de,eriorate it's value. His appearances and
his manners led strangers 10 imagine that
he was in the lowest verge OF p"nury. and
their compassion was excited in his behalf,
which he never failed to accept when it
led to an exhibition of their benevolence.
For some years before his death, he
scarcely allowed himself the common
necessities and comforts Of life, and has
left poor old houseke' per, who was with
him for more than twenty.six years, with
out the smallest provision or acknowledg.
nent 70 her protracted and far from agree.
able or remuneraliye services. 4 few
days before his death, the deceased told
one of his executors that he had made q
singular will but as the property was his
own he had done as he pleased with it.

Hurry.
THE oIo SEXTON.

Nigh % . grave that vas newly made.
Leaned Sexton old. on his eArth-WOrn spade.
His work was done, and be paused to wait
The funeral train at the open gate
A relic Of by gone days was he,
Aud his locks were gray as the fOamy sea;
And these words came from his lips 50 thin;
/ gather them in-I gather them in
Gsther-gather-gather-I gather them in.
I gather them in; for man and boy,
Year after year Of grief and joy,
I've builded the houses that lie around
In every nook Of this burial ground,
Mother and daughter, father and son,
Come to my solitude, one by one!
But come they stranger, or come they kin,
gather them in-l gather them in.
Many are with me, yet I'm alone;
I'm King Of the Dead, and make my throne
On monument slab of marble cold
My sceptre of rule is the spade ! hold,
Come they from cottage, or come they from hall
Mankind are my subjects, all-all-alll
Let them loiter in pleasure, or toilfully spin,
4 sether them in-I gather them in.
I gather them in, and their final rest
Is here, down here, in the earth's dark breast
And the Sexton ceased, as the funeral train
Wound mutely over that solemn plain;
And said to myself, when time is told,
n Mightier voice than that Sections old,
viii be heard DER the last trump's din;
I gather them in-I gather them in,
-gather-gather- gather them in.

come 10 pass
Some days after there was, as usual, n
gathering a, the posi-office, at some dis
tance from the ship-yard, awaiting the
arrival Of the mail. The stage, at the
usual hour, drove up, and the driver said.
as he handed the mailbag into the house,
that he guessed there was better news
than he had brought since the victory on
the Lakes.
'Another victory, Woodward p
No, not another victory, but PEACE"
Can you ell me- said dappea-look-
ing young gentleman as he slipped from
the stage, where can find Holmes, the
owner of the brig Helvetius -
He lives on the hill yonder,' was the
reply, but it is thought he does not own
her now
'Has he sold her ?
Yes.
Il am sorry for that. Who is e

Mr. Bradford, the young man whom
you see reading the newspaper
The stranger stepped into the house
and asked Henry whether he would sell
the brig.
Henry said that he would cheerfully
part with her.

At the peace price,
Stage is ready said the driver.
sWe will ride over TO the village said
Henry, 'and converse on the matter as we
go along
Henry soon emerged from the stage

Surely you are not deranged-you could
not hold the brig after the mistake of the
prize was corrected
'Thre is where you are mistaken
Mary. There is bill of sale which allows
of forty days from the date for the pay

Henry, 'and l will be with you before

Il guess not, molher, said Mary; only

at nine o'clock Henry arrived from
Plymouth, with an accepted draft for ter

The idea served as q very beautiful
climax 10 the conversation we have noted
down; so the two, as if by mutual con.
sent turned their backs upon each other
and parted in high dudgeon.
For who.e week the father and son
never exchanged even the morning com

One day, however, old John and young
John met in the hall, and old John bowed
and smiled, and young John touched MI
hat and extended his hand.
