This story we copy, with some abridgment, from Chambers1 Edinburgh Journal Anudet Ihe hills of that district of Scotim I, called Tweeddale, there are manv 1 npl" valleys, Inch seem remote from p.ll human ken little separate regions, where you may loiter for a summer day, without eecimr a living tiling, save a few straggling sheep, who lift up their head? in seeming wonder us ou pass Or there City rise ftom your foot a startled hue, :r a covey of moor fowl, unused to such intrusion; where no sound reaches your car, excepting the song of the kvdark, the bleat of the sheep, the hum of the wild bee, and the low murmuiing of a burn, Mealing along; its quiet way to pay its tribute to the Tweed. It wrs to one of those sequestered Ppnts, being a stranger in the country, that I was one day led by an old nun, who undertook to be m guide t the l est streams for trout-fishing, liut though now deserted by man, as I have ilesci ibed this valley, there had been a time when it was inhabited, as appeared from a roofless and ruined hut, over the w alls of v. Lich the ivy and the wild lliwer had apparently crept for years. observed to my gut do what a lonely dwelling it must have been. 4,ltwas eo,', said lbs old man; "but love and youth can make any place a paradise; and happiness oi; e dwelt there, though i did not r.ontinne; and though the fate of its hap less inhabitant? made a great noise in the t.ounti v at the time, it is now in a measure forgotten, for it is mote than fifteen years since a the wrs kindled in that lone house. r Perceiving hv this that something remarkable had happened to the las' occuitiers of the desolated hut, arid "being tired with ascending and descending the i e i ghhori ng hills, I sat down, and re cueste I the old man. who was the j-chool master of a vdhge where I had for some das taken up niv abode, to gratify m curnsify by repealing to me the story to which he had alluded. The place where i h id i le sen my seat was a little gi--y hank, near Ihe brink of the rivulet, and about forty yards below the site ot the Jdtie ruin, which stood on the side of a lull; and the obi man, having placed hicifitlt "hr-side me, began his narration.

And thus the winter had nearly passed awav.-md they began to anticipate the varied ins of Surmar! when the birds would again mg around their cot, and all nature, awakened fromj its wintrv sleep, would srart anew into life and joy The month of February ar-j rived and the weather seemed so fettled and serene, that, for two successive Sab baths, Helen, with her infant enveloped in hei cloak, and accompanied by her bus band, had crossed the hills to the parisn church On the second of these Sabbaths, they "took sweet counsel.' and walking together to the house of God, they converse! of a 'better and a purer world, where they should fear no alter parting. And as Helen listened to herhu-hand. who was eloquent on this subject, she thought she had never heard him speak so like a miniter, or seen him so lull ot hope. 1 noticed this particularly, as it- was a circumstance I shall have occasion to mention again .

Alas, poor girl! her young and ardent heart had loved her husband almost to idolatry, and with him the charm of life was fled, The spring of hope and existence wasdiiedup at ihe fountain head. The stroke was too heavy for her to bear, and a brain fever was the immediate consequence of her gieat bodily esertiou and mental suffering.
