On one side was wealth, love r rinetnent. and all the amenities of polis.hed life; on theotla r, were ignorant and proflifiafe companions, poverty, drudgery and base scorn: and then so young a girl, untrained -is ihe wild colt of the Sti pjies; who bad neer either precept or example to guide her virtue; possessed only of In r own strong sense and natural perception of right and wrong; can it be wondered at, that she was temp'cd by finding herself courted and flattered, almost worshipped by such a man as Oheifeldt, before whom the boldest of her band would seaiecly daie stand covered ? When the moment came, in which it was necessary to decide whether they should be united, or part forever, she had not the ies( bit ion to tear away the fairy vision, and return to the bated drudgery of her former life: shedid not speak: but the tears flowed fist vV heavy down her fire, & she sullered Oherfeldt to enfold her within his bosom unrepioved. u.l v' sndshe, what seoipitv h is the unlnppv Bohemian orphan that you will not prow fdse hoieaPo -?'1 "The lack of all protection is surely the strongest of any," replied Count Oheifeldt; 'you hive cast your whole destiny into my keeping, wo io me, if I pune n unf.i'hf.d steward!'' "Wo, indeed?11 sdd Md el, "such a deed would in truth deserve i'P and a stem light for a moment burned within her eyes, as if to show how they could flash, if they were fired by indignation. Here we must rapidly pass over scenes of fhrHling interst. Mabel resides at Oherfeldt Castle, the object of the fondest admiration and love, to which the startling development ofher rich intellectual jowers every day adds some new charm. The lovo of Count Oherfeldt was fir deejiei than he had ever felt for any other object ; and had not his hereditary pride scorned a union with the wandering Bohemian, be might, in spile ofearly pollution, have tasted the blessedness of perfect loe. Boor Alahel! the evil and the good in her character alike formed her for pass oafe and concentrated attachment; thrillingly sensitiveto kindness; kindling to a blaze at insult; stern, and even fierce, at the infliction of wrong; the loveof such a heart was ardent and overwhelming! what might not its darker passions be? Amid all the blandishments! around her, sho sometimes thought on what she really was w ith a laming lhsh of shame and an-

2ry rcmoi-so, which served ,o nourish .lie heiccr passions of her soul. This shed Iself in her studies; the characters she loved were those of strong and haughty eneiipy; and more than onrc Couni 'Ohorfeld was startled, as she personified thetcmpesMous passion ofPhedre, or, with Hashing eve, dilated nostril, and scornful lij), ideiPt lied hei-selfwilh ihc fearful feelings oftlie forsaken 1 lonnoine. However, to him she was all docility, "ralitudo and love; had she shown the real decree and quality ol his love for her, it would crushe her ardent and sensitive heart. The proHised plan of educating Mabel for the stage, is by decree forgot ten ; where the heart is interested, publicity is always painful. But after eighteen months of quiet felicity, which needed very few and simple materials to make it pure domcstick happiness, he promises to visit the Court at.DresHlon. Theeenin previous to their departure, they visit a favourite spot, which the Tount; iways called "Mahels Bower.v Once when the oversh dowinor thorn was laden Willi its fraorant ami beautiful blossjins, he had intertwisted a jrarlantl of them in her hair, and in allusion to Hamilton's Fairy Tale, (then in all the volhic of its fir.-t success,) called her I leur-irKp-ine, a name by which lie often addressed her in moments' of fond playfulness. .Mabel jjazed upon this dear spot with all that inert ised temkrness, wiiich approaching departure never fulstocall forth.

Argu-ius h-t v.as then Elector of Sax ony and King of Poland. Being a haiidst me and licentious prince, the fame of A 1 1 hoi's s eluded beauty does not fdl to reach hlse:r; and he at fir.-t entreats, and then command-, that she should appear upon ihe slage for his amusement. The proposal is full ofbitfeiness 1o the loers; but it is acceded to. Mabel becomes the pride and wonder of Dresden ; ihe King perse utes her with his loe, which shere-tu.-.es in an agony e.floaihing and ofsh ime. More than once she thinks, "had Oherfeldt loved as I do, he would have made me his wife, and have spaied me this wretched degradation.'' But be was not capable of loving as she had loved; and even the alloyed affection be entertained or her, diminished with her inneasing fame. He shared her talents wilh the pnhlick, and the charm was gone. He began to think it was a duty to marry accoiding to hi3 rank; and he soon singled out an object. Mabel saw the change; but she hid it deep in her burning and breaking heart. At last a studied and artificial letter informed her that she was deserted ; because be must marry, and rear legitimate chihben, for honour of his house. The ample annuity he pro fe red was rejected with biting scorn, and Mabel, without one word of reproach, but with deep purposes of vengenance, fled to Italy, where she ohained high renown, under the name of i'-ilim. Count Oherfeldt married; Ire bad a daughter;lorg and anxiously he hoped for son to support the honour of his house; 1 ul his hopes were never realized. Now was flic time for Mabel's unsleeping reon go. At a high feslival in honour of the child's birth day, this treasure, in which omit Oherfeldt had "garnered up all his heart, was stolen from him by a band of dancing Bohemians, and by them conveyed to an Italian ship, where Zerlini was in waiting for them. Was her purpose murle ? Ah, no! it was fir more dreadful than murder. Had she ever been a mother, she could not have planned the develish scheme. She educated Count OberfeldtV daugh'er for a prostitute! She polluted her earliest affect ions, and poisoned know ledge at he fountain ; ay, even when the child smiled upon her, ami called her mother, she did not relinquish her infernal purpose. She carries the little Clara to Paris becomes ultimate with the famous Ninon; and caches the girl to imitate that shameless profligate, while she preserves her own conduct most proudly pure. The poison worked well 'he beautiful young Clara becomes the cast off mistress of half the Parisian nobility Zerlini then gocsi iicog. o Dresden, and appeals maiked on tlie stage, vhere she had first pcrfoimed, during her brief period of happners.

"You may remember, sir," said she, "that I promised on the very first day of my returi , lo come and bid you welcome to my bower at the last words her voice slightly filtered, but quickly recevering herself, she proceeded; 'This is the first day of my return to Oherfeldt; and I have come to keep mv tryst!" For a long time she spoYts with hfs anxiety,andpro racts his agony with demoniac pleasure at last sin s iys,"Bemember, sir, that I was discarded and trampled under foot, for the sake ol VourWiVe. For the paltry pride of rank, you would have broken a heart, which adored you, had not scorn preserved it from breaking. "Kv il he my lot," you said, "if I proveaiMinfaitlitul steward!"

A gentleman who, not long ago, dwelt in a remote part of Dumbartonshire, in addition to a policy and couple of greyhound, kept a monkey that had leen sent tolum by a military otlicer from (iibraltar. Pug had formed "a particular friendship with the two dogs, and it was no un frequent sight to In-hold him seated on the back of one of them, cantering across the lawn in front of his maitei's dwelling, and aping all the airs of a first-rate sportsman. Mr. having risen early one morning, mounted his -;;, and, taking along with him the two harrier?, had scarcely emerged from the shrubbery that surrounded the ancient mansion, when pug, contrary to his wish, une.xiM'ctedly made his appearance, and was H iinitted after a gentle reprimand, to "take his usual seat on the back of one of his favourites. After proceeding through several fields, and affording, by their conjoined drollery, abundance of mirth to their worthy master, a hare sudenly started up, a few ridges from the nose of the unencumbered greyhound and scudded along with all the swiftness it was master of; whei it was instinctively jHirsued byMh the dogs, pug all the while retaining his seat with wonderful science, as, Alazeppa like lie flew with gallant steed round the side of a moory hill, with his tiny arms cI-sjhhI firmly round hi.? neck. Tlie gentleman soon lost sight of them, but putting spurs to his pony, he followed as nearly as he could guess the direction they had taken, aiul coining up to an highlandcr, who was busily employed building a stone dyke, he enquired of him if he had seen any dogs pass by. "Togs, please your honor," responded -Malcolm, uhur saw yer ain Alungo only ten minuets syne, tracing a harewi" a' bur speed and after bur rode a wee auld carle, on a grey (ialoway, at sick a rate that the muckle deil her nainseli couldna' o'rtake bur." From ihi description Mr. had no doubt that the trio which oc casioned so much wonder K the Highlander were his own; and checking his poney, as he had lost hope of overtaking them, be trudged round to the other side of the hill, where Mirxhlr uh tu ! he met the grey harrier returning with its rider, who, upon, approaching his inaster,inst ant ly dismounted, and laid the dead hare at his feet, having carried it under his arm from the spot where it was killed by Alungo nearly half a mile distant.
