Sir Hugo shad reached his fftieth year
dnmolcsted by passion, save an ardent one
fora flowing goblet. Instead Of love pasl
sages, HE delight was in tournaments,
whence be returned always victoti GUS
At.length he was flung from the saddle Of
his indifference by tho bcardless, tilter,
love. He saw Angelica airest mai
den iofthe land--forgot his grey hairs, and
unmindfal ofcthe incongruity Of union
betweeh May and December, led her to the
nuptial altar. Fortunately, Angelica was
Ss modest as she was fair, and her firm
virtue repulsed the numerous butterflies
that swarmed around the opening flowers
Of her beauty. Sir Hugo knew the tried
virtue Of his consort, and therefore, she
was tohim dear and precious as tho apple
Of his eye. IL Figs3ta glQ % gagp
1Qne morning he rode to pay visit to a
neighboring baron in arms, his honest
squire Conradc trotting after him. Scarce

knight suddenly stopped, and cried '<

ing thought has just occurred to me. This
is the very day that Father Nicholas comes
to the castle to say mass for my dear wife
and myself, and ! am not inclined to have
him in my abode during my absence SO,

"a curse on your perhaps !" exclaimed
the knight "I make all sure, by giving

"Do you think SOL" replied the squire
"now in my simplicity, believe exactly
