God encempatielh us.' The young woman teemed about the age of 18, and was decently dressed, though in (he plainest rustic fashion of the times. She was well formed and well looking, both form and; looks giving indications of the ruddy health consequent upon ex posure to sun and air in the country. After iteppmc irom tne wagon, which the driver immediately led into the court yard, the girl stood for a moment in apparent uncertainty whither to go, when the mistress of the Inn, who had come, to the door, observed her hesitation, and askdd her to enter and take a rent. The young women readily obeyed the InviteUon, aad soon, by the kindnees of the landlady, found herself by the fireside of a nicely sanded parlor, with wherewithal to refresh herself after a long and tedious journey. And so, my oor girl,' said the landlady, after having heard in return for her kindness, the whole particulars of the young woman's situation and history, So thou hast come all this way to seek service, and hast no fiiend bat John Hodge, the wagoner!
