Susannah fully bore out the promise of hei countenance. She was one ol the most diligent and orderly scholars of Sa'-bach school, the most attentive to the duties of household affairs, and steady beyond comparison in those she owed to her old father anil her elder aunt. She was twelve years old when she first attracted my notice; and her fuller had been ferryman ofSasbaeh.in the district or parish of Hreisich, fir more than double that number of yeats.

The cotlee-jiiir.Jwhieh he at tim"s applied to his hps, seemed to liquidize his im i-m atom; and from his smiles or gestures, 1 could fancy him in a diluted state of iVclm.T altogether amiable. The ihmcar; hro-l remained beside him for praver discussion. Hut just at this moment I uuioriuiiately per.'cived, and the me came to an untimely end. With all the ready hustle of one who wisely and habitually considers his business as of more importance than his ease, iritud Reisaeher rose from his seat, and laid, his hand on tiie oar, declared himself ready with his usual obstinate activity; and on my stepping into the boat, he proceeded to make his angular transit, first against the current, and then with it, w ith orom. -ureal precision; and in live minutes we were at the opposite side of the river, winch moved on in a sullen swell, reilectiusj the dark and heavy autumn clouds that rolled slowly above. During those live minutes I had succeeded in temptini; the ven-rahle rnnnotner to aeeompanv me to a dilate, not qui'e half a league from the ferry, for the purpose of looking at a wood raiiiier's horse, which making liberal allowance for the. errors of its educalion a id its potato diet was very mmdi the sort cka of an animal tiiat I had a mmd to purI'o ask tlie opinion of Johan lie eisaeper on foil i, l a matter was to bind him to on ver.

"Susnnn ih," said the old man, '-keep the boat here, and wait for me, I shall lie back in '.' c litllli; iaf-fmtrn.

And so saying, lie drew up. coiled the rope round a tree hard by. and awav w e went, the weatherseer carefully avoid.i g to iook up to the sky (which could have told any fool that bail weather was 'ommgl lest his atmospheric sagacity might appear less profound than he meant to believe it. Susannah took out her blue worsted stocking, and multiplied its parallelograms comfortably indifferent to the cold gusts that swept across the valley. Hut after a time, the heavy cloud which old Reisacher preferred not seeing, and the chilling wind which his daughter seemed determined not to feel, began to burst and hiss; at.d a sudden stop vas put to one ol my companion's vainglorious panegyrics on his own infallibility of judgement in matters of horseflesh, 'by a loud crash of thunder. ''I'hcre will he a storm," said I. "Ayr. indeed there will; but I scarcely thought it would be so bad as what il is coming." replied Johan. thoughtfully, and staring full in tlie face of tim skv.
