NORMAN STEWART.
A Tale of the British Isle


One Sunday afternoon, during a short resi-
dcnce at the coast, near the town Of B,
my attention was attracted towards an elder
ly lady, in whose countenance there was a
beauty and sadness which deeply int crested
me. She was dressed in deep mourning, and
her air and manner showed that her thoughts
were not centred on aught. around her, or on
this world.
"You seem wonderfully attracted by Miss
Aymer's appearance" said friend who was
along with me. "Would you like TO hear her
story ?"
"If may judge from her appearance" I
answered" 4" it must be one of disappointed
hopes and youthful affection blighted."
"Come with me-" said my friend "you
must learn it in a strange and wild spot-a
proper place for so sad a narrative"
So saying. we walked along the sea-coast
ill we reached a place where the cliffs began
10 rise abruptly, and continued to beetle over
the foaming waves, till they ended in fear
full precipice, whose awful depth and horrid
appearance made the veIy brain giddy. As
cending slopng pathway, we reached the
summit Of this cliff, and gazing down from its
giddy height, beheld the waves dashng and
foamlng at its base in wild and terrible tur-
mol. The wide expanse of ocean sprt ad till
it seemed sinking in the distant horizon and
as each huge billow came rolling onwards,
and with laundering sound dashed against
the white cliffs, the white foam flew half way
up the giddy steep, and, lashed into spray,
fell in showers into the oceans breast again !;
whilst the reiterated action of the waves, at
each retni ming tide, had worked vast caverns
in the strata, far into the interior of the cliffs,
where, with strange dull sound, like distant
thunder, the rushing element chafed unseen,
and added mysterious noise to the din that
reigned around. The widest of the sea-bird
tribes, the gull, the cormorant, marrot, and
Bolan goose, attracted hither more probably
by the facility of catching their finny prey
amidst the turmoil, than by aught else, NOV
ed in clouds about the face Of the rock super
adding to the hubbub their harsh and discor-
dant shrieks and cries. The scene was alto
gether one Of wild and stunning confusion.
"Msrk the scene WE'LL" said my compan-
ion. Now, turn your gaze from this cliff,
and watch the spire of yon village church,
which rises above the trees in yonder valley.
All there is peace and quietness.
Thirty years have now elapsed since Nor
man Stewart came to yonder village, to dis
charge the duties of assistant to the manager
Of the branch of provincial bank which Was
then aourishing there. Norman was the son
OF a much respected clergyman, whose sole
desire was to give his son an education which
would enable him to bear his part with the
highest in the land. OF distant, retired man
ners himself, the father of Norman reared his
son in seclusion, and the home of his youth
became to him school in which every good
and honorable principle was implanted in his
breast, while, at the same time, that seclu-

wants, terrified by the cries, rushed into the
apartment. Medical aid was instantly sent
for, while some of the servants, well mounted,
we're ordered TO gallop off TO the village and
inquire for Norman. They returned he was
not to be found, but q letter addressed to Isa-
bella was discovered lying on table. The
letter was handed to the baronet, who shook
Violently as he preceived it sealed with black
wax. With a trembling hand he broke open,
aud glancing at it, uttered bitter groan and
sank back in his seat but instantly starting
up, he exclaimed
It may not be too late yet. Mount,
mount; alarm the inhabitants"
He rushed forth, and springing on horse
back, dashed with headlong fury TO the village.
though the night was, and fierce tempest
raging, they set out with alacrity on the
search. Torches were obtained, and thor
ough search took place fresh footsteps were
traced in the sand and sludge leading towards
the cliff. The bo!dest heart shrunk back at the
terrible scene. The sea, lashed into foam,
glowed like fiery caldron, while the thunder
rolled necessarily, and the broad lightning
glanced along the foaming pillows; and as
each huge wave dashed against the rock, the
very earth shook and trembled. The search
continued till dawn, when the cloak and hat
Of the unhappy youth were found close on the
verge of the cliff, indicating too plainly the
lamentable fate of their owner.
A length of time elapsed before Isabella
recovered from the dreadful shock which she
received. By tact under tanding, neither
she nor her father recurred TO the awful event.
Public sympathy went with her. Many were
the offers OF marriage which she received, but
she refused them all. The baronet died and
left her the heiress of his wealth, and in
charitable actions to all around her she spends
the evening of her days. Her garb of deep
morning has never been changed since her
young lovers death, and she still clings 10 his
memory with lond yet sad recollection.
The authors of the plot Which hurried poor
Norman to self-destruction were latterly found
out, and their subsequent course through life
was marked by the avenging hand of High
er Power. One died in madhouse anoth-
er s~Gered the penalty of the law for forgery :;
and third committed suicide. The fate OF
the young lady, who prompted by the rancour
of an unrequited passion for Norman has
acted as accomplice in penning the forged
epistles, was equally severe. She become the
wife of the forger, in whose degraded crimes
she also became an accomplice. 1t was
scarcely probable that a union, which might
be said to have been passed upon association
in crime. was likely to prove happy. TIE
unhappy woman was only relieved from
her dom sic misery by the ignominous death
of her husband and she, in surviving hin,
fingered out a miserable existence, sustaining
I the whole disgrace of the odious connection
she had so unhapily formed. Thus we see
that even the secret actions of the wicked are
brought 10 rccoi upon themselves.

DoN'r DANcE.-A plain unlettered man
came from the back country, in the State Of
Alabama, to Tuscaloosa, and on the Sabbath
went carly to church. He had been accus-
toned to attend meetings in school houses
and priva dwellings, where each one ap-.
propriated 10 himself the first seat which he
found unoccupied. He selected there con-
venient slip, and awaited patiently the as
sembling of the congregation. The services
commenced. Presently the music of full
toned organ burst upon his astonished ear :;
he had never heard one before. At the same
time, the gentleman who owned the slip came
up the aisle with his ludy leaning upon his
arm. As he approached the door of the slip,
he motioned for the countryman to come out,
in order to give place to the lady. This
movement the countryman did not compre--
hend and from the situaton of the gentle
man and lady, associated as it was in his
mind with the music, he Immediately cen
cluded that cotillon or French contra dance,
or some other dance was intended. Rising
partly from his seat be said to the gentleman,
who was still b,ckoning TO him: " Excuse
