ii
soon fours] myself, upon here taking up my resi
dence, almost the only man Who thought it worth
hisnLile to study and aclinirla -the beauties which
nature, with a lavisli hand,, had scattered
.over the
;'scene. It was a valley, enclbsed on all aided with

O counydittelay, more than any other,
Once varying col eys hod gent leyet distinetly marked
contrasts which the painter mice, but strives in
v"aitt to transfer to his canvaSs., •There wero only
two breaks in 'the surrounding ampitheater. One
was where a muuntaln stream came tumbling and
babbling into the valley; the 064 where, in a mare,
subdued and qiiet current, it 'found egress. The
sinuott's path of this tittle river or "run," across the
I
dale, was marked •by is growth of beautiful trees,
tinting w-hi , h the straight-leaved willow,' with its
I .
silver fuhage shive4g lu thelight, was most fre

Carrie accuitomed was recetitei force the boat up
the stream:. but the Ihighest "b co
oatable" point once
ruched, I had only; to turn' .
the shallop'eliessl and
guide it down, letting my little barque slowly Prat,
and cue:4o:lg it elder of the shallow end abstruc
tient,. Delightful Were the Cows which the tur
of the at i reatn were continually Opealiug; the. ov -.-
' hanging efeeti, furnaing, a grew[ roof above, Cvete
refiertedbelo*; and:while I seemed thus suspend
between answeeihgakies and trees, over my head
and eneath my feet,] to look in. either direction of 1 ,
tl,e stream seemed like peering into a mysterious;
fairy grot. ' i
,
One etvenini as I paused, looking delighted upon
t
the scene of enthantment, a new feature was. as if
t ;
by magic, .added to the picture. A i lit tle girl—a
child of Surpniaing loveliiiessalip4ied:ent frum
among the'buslies, and skipping from Steneto atone,
stand on a high rock, near the middle of urrent
—the beau Ideal of such a spirit Ine might
fancy inhabitiug : tee spot. He lease tresses
floated on the evening breeze, at d her scanty dra
'peq--:-it was mysummer—as t e wind :pressed it
alienist her form, exhibited a dereacy an4of contour
which that artist would beeoutimmortal who would
copy. She did vitt al, 5r perceive me;
,and,
when the flash of esi oar startled her, I almost ex
pected she would prove herself a visien, br vanish
ing into the sky above in a cloud, or dissolving In a l
,foam•wreath in thew ft Which rippled lemon the
ix
. ,
rocks behind her. 1
But youth and • enc e are courageous; acd eke
took no other no • e of m)4approsch than to seat her
self, to await my coming, on the same stone upon
which she had been standing. Her artless ease and
beauty won my heirt—as men's heart's are often
to:! easily wpn, through the eyes. Hers was grace
unaffected ind• natural. No drawing-room belle;
after years of pracpiie before her mirror, could have
vied with4is rustic nymph. She possessed what
art can will difficulty imitate, and that never en:
prely—perfect and itncouscicins self-possession;
and she was tbonaorii admirable, that ie her child
likeiiiimplicity she dreamed not of admiration.
l,puslied my shallop up beside to rock, and com
menced a :conversation ,with her. I was grieve ,
andlunszed to find tier helplessly ignorant upon
commonest subjects Which those that fear God each
their l children. She could not even read, * told
me. She was born far iwai she said,— . . another
land, mother used to say,—and , ' did not remember
that she ever went to church; but r mother bad
told tier that she was carried tiler once to be bib
tiied, and her name was Bessie. .
"Is your mother dead?" I a ed. ' -
"No—not dead-1 think t; but father—."
A iliciarte voice from the-.here now shouted her
name; and nnalartned as she had been :alien I ap
proached, he:little frame now shook with tenor,
and heiiinunesting pe was pale and sullen with
minglei rear and agar.
-"Ia that you father!' I said. ',
'She did not stop to, answer, i but instantly dom
menced picking her way back to the bank. While
she di so, ber trepidation misfit times almost
trip her into the river. I should' have watched
.he every step at any other time, but my attention
was irresistably drawn to the repulsive form which
had come, like a dark and unwelcoMe shadow l over
.this fair scene. The face was positively one ot the
most demoniacal in'expression I have ever met.—
Thick, black „hair, unkempt, hung ovetr the low
forehead, and the shaggy dark eyebroes seemed to
,glower a rough and •uisharen face. The ezprei
&lon of the whole, was thatia man whose counte
ract it - saddened into sure ness, likes clay huge
of Satan, by habitual , strong potations. Motorman
disregard is those completed the picture of a man
who had sold himself to the vilest tad lost discus-,
tin habits of intoxication.
SATURDAY MORNING, DEC MpER 28, 1850.
While I trembled fur the fate of snob a child, in
such hands, she Caine within his,reashoind stretch
ing forth hia arm, he dragged her to him by the
hair, tripping her from her footieg into the water,
find puling tier to the shore with' mere inbeiman
todenies than I can deacribe—her dress draggled
' and mudded, and her limbs bleeding from contact
with sharp pebbles and atones.' Blow upon blow
'the ruffian inflcted upon her, which I could hetir es
well as see from where I stood. - Not a sound not.*
cry escaped her; and while I wits hesitating wheth
er I ought to try to reach and rescue her, he ceased
beating her, and turned up a path in the back-side.
She silently and doggedly followed him; and I sadly
took my way; lamenting that the beauty and peace of
such a place should be so banally interrupted; and
Borrowing more than all, that frequent ill-usage had
so deadened thechild t s sensibilitiei as to make her,
otherwise so natural and unaffected,' thus endure
pain with the sullen fortitude of an old offender. I
trembled fur the life ar child growing up under such
itifleenees; fur I could see in her feline nothing' but
mime, suffering end clegredatien.
It was later tlian the usual tide of returning when
I reached the landing, and there were already lig hta
in the few, houses that- stood there. I might have
mentioned before—but that I hate to acknowledge
the tacV—that the utilitarian habits of our' &a had
conriirted my romantic streamlat into a' "power" to' ,
turn 4mill-wheel. It is not a gristanill, which is
i a proper apendage tb rural scenery, but a vroulen
1 manufactory, With iis unromantic surroundings, i
I caused me many a joke from my - friends, the owner
Icf the boat and of the Mill. IWhen I excepted to such
thingsa stretching • frames, as a blot on the beauty
of the I riii - eape, and to the dirty wool and dyestuff'
c
as ruin ng its romances, he would tell ma that if
these valleys aril rocks had neter i heard the clatter I ,
of his nischloary4 P i
, neer woutd file "sound of the'
church going hell" - have disturbed their echoes.'
There wait no ansWarinz this, Inatise it was per-,
fectly.true, and I C.):11j thsrefxe only "humph" and
be silent. : Though wrong in eOlll3 points of his ' 1
Course, Air. Ileriot, our "truer' was a liberal man ,
and weNdisposed—would il,ere acre more such!

he, in effect, supqrted the reef. If he 'had not

so, there could not bare been 'ther church nor
service. And he found hi* account t the superior
order of{ a establishment; and would tniye dune still i
more if, b side bui!ding the church, he had abated

spent with e vanity of a successful orator to a fit

Yorks. rei Jack sank on a chair. The efforts of hie
sate rtes railed to awaken him to new ,wings. Tito
jo e was; worn out—the, women coaxed their hue
.ands away, the children walked of', rehearsing, de- -
scribing, laud laughing over what they had heard.—
The placo was soon hushed aqd still, the monoton:
ous voice of the water only broke thiestilence of the
night, and - Mariot and I took our way homeward—
for I lodged with him. •
On our way nothing was said. The family, ex
cept Mrs'. H., had retired; and Marine seemed as if
'.he woolii hare made that circumstance a pretext for
following them in silence. He put a night lamp in
my band, but i placed it on the table, 'and, sitting
down, toe); op Tut: Boos.. He sat alto, but it was
eridentlY with unwilling politeness. Conscience
was at work—and ha was desirous to evade, rather
than listen to her warnings. lA:opened to iltetwen
ty-eighth of Isiah, and he started as I read, "Wo to
the crown of .pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim!"
"Edward Mariot," I said, "God will bold you ac
countable for the sin which we have this night wit-
nessed."
Ile arose—l thought angrily. He commeiced to
speak, but a look from his wife dissuaded kiin. HOW
would.he defend himself with Inch facts Lc, freshl-- ,
But I knew there was a coldness in his manner ache
returned my "good night,"' with a half-nod, such as
I had never before witnessed from him. I feared
that our friendship, and of co se my-further resi
dence in Maritdate, wasn and;. but. I feared
more, that it would be written of my generous bet
bosinette-devoted Mired, "Ephraim le joined to his
