wish, young gentleman"
The ambiguous nature of the situa-
ton and character of Mr.. Edwards
had rendered him an object Of pecu-
liar suspicion to the lawyer, and the
youth was consequently too much ac-
customed to similar equiyocal and
guarded speeches, to feel any unusual
disgust at the present dialogue.
II must have been obvious to all our
readers, that the youth entertained an
unusual and deeply seated prejudice
against the character Of the Judge ;
but, owing to some counterGtting
cause, his sensations were now those
of powerful interest in the state Of his
patrons present feelings, and in the
cause of his secret uneasiness.
When the Judge made his reappear-
ance in the circles of his family, his
cheeriulness was tempered by a shade
of melancholy, that ligered for many
! days around his manly brow; but the
magical progression Of the season
aroused him from his Temporary apa-
thy, and his smiles returned with the
animated looks Of summer. ..
During the continuance Of his cou-
sims detection, Mr.. Jones forbore,
with much consideration, to press on
his attention q business that each houl
was drawing nearer to the heart Of the
Sheriff, for he verify expected to dis
cover a silver mine on the mountain.
At length the Sheriff vcntured to
allude again to the subject, and one
evening, in the beginning Of July,
NIarmaduko made him u promise OF
|deyoting the following day to the de.
sired excursion. ..
II was Il mild and soft morning,
when Mamaduke and Richard mount.
ed their horses, to proceed on the OK
petition that had 50 long been upper
most in the thoughts Of the latter
and Elizabeth and Louisa appeared at
the same instant in the hall, attired
for an excursion on foot.
"What, are you for walk, Bess ?
cried the Judge. Remember the
heats of July, my daughter; nor ven
ture further than canst rctrace before
the meridian. Where is thy parasol
girl thou will lose the polish of thy
, brow, under this sun and southern
breeze, Unless thou guard it with I'M
usual care"

"Not at this season, believe, sir,
