left his father's houfc in London, to enjoy the beautiful fcenery of a

romantic fituation in the north bfi

England, where his father, a rich merchant, had recently purchafed

a fmall eitate, delightfully fituated

amid the moil charming part of

that highly picturefque country. Charles was rather of a melancho

ly difpofition, and an enthuliaflic

admirer of the beauties of nature :

he brought no companions but his

German flute, and a few favorite authors, among which, were the

enchanting works of JShekefpcare, Milton, Pope, Thompfon, 'and Young. But his particular favou

rite, as being moll congenial to his

difpoiitiori, was t' War-ton's Enthuliall, which he could repeat by memoryOft would he wander, be

fore fun-rife, reciting this charm

ing little Poem, till, overcome with the force of the expreffion, and, in

fenfations which he really felt, with

what ecltaey would he repeat the following apodrcphe: All-be.iutrcns Nature ! by thy boundlefs charms Opprefs'd, where flull I begin thy praife, Where turn th ccflatic eye : how eafe my breail, That pants with wild aftonilhntent and love I At a little dillance in the back grounds was a romantic dell, formed for folitude, through which meandered a Terpentine rivulet, (haded on each fide by irregular plantations, of tall beeches ; and higher up the hills were feverel copies and flirubberics, here and the re intvrfperfed by variegated duller ot wild fiowers, which grew fpontaneously on the fliaggy I) inks; thewiiole made vocal l)y the wild (trains of nature's choiif-

reis, which were the only inhabitanta of tins delightful retreat. Towards the veil the profpeci terminated in a ridge of lofty mountains, whofe tops reached the clouds ; and the opening of the fea to the call, where the eye could readily difcern the (hips as they rede at anchor, gr failed in quick

tion ; at length fittingjlownon an inviting' hillock, he broke out into this foliloquy : r- ' Alas ! could my dear father

" Ceafe, young man, to upbraid

the partiality ot an indulgent pa rent'faid a voice more than hu

man, Charles immediately felt

wardly (lung, was retiring with the glow of ingenious lhame upon his cheek ; when Mr. Mansfield (for that was the (hangers' name) fprang forward, and with a "moil

affedlionate look, apologized for

fuch an unfeafonable intrufion.

The village clock llruck nine as they were entering into converfation. " Pardon me," faid the good paftor, " but that afignal for my departure. My parilhoners are already waiting rny return : for at this hour we generally offer up

our united praifes to the God who

day's life and death." Though

our acquaintance has been fo fhort,

yet I ietl an irrehllible impulfe to

prefs you to become one of our little party. I trull the moments

will not be ill employed." Charles, who never was remifh in his duty to his maker, readily accepted the invitation. As they entered a little neat garden, he was furprifed on perceiving a fmall white-waflied houfe embofomed in trees, and almoll grown round with ivy and woodbines : at the fame inllant he overhead the found of a lute, and a delightful voice acr-
