The Visidn Of Mariotdale, xi IN HAs - rusbo ivrtm SVII.PI:Iq4 Air charge : was in a, beiutiblly komantic and fer tile spot, the natbral• features of which would seems ufficient teachers of the eutliciont• teacher wit out revelation. oue and the good ness of God, •if indeed, nat ure . were, as some insist,.o. I 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 r hills, whose ascents; crowned with vsirdere, -exhibit -1 ed every variety oCtint and shade of grasp; for the trees of our 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 sitent and conspiedoul; odic} erg whir', delight i lln 'water diversifie,l! the' lung, s een de fi le; and a little boat, which belonged to o ' of my parialthin- I ers v oirered me fretnt twiligh pastime. Some !char, to whichob gh twilled t first, I "eon be- 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.'

At length, spent with e vanity of a successful orator to a fit audience filled with drink and worn out with rage, 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.

"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.
