‘Well, it was about'lastfall that he began
to notice Justine, arid from that he grew more

lionT The thought was horrible!.' "Without
a moment’s habitation, I sprang thronirh-the.
window, and bolding m* course in shadow,
tracked her steP towards the cottage of Ar
n'aud. . ■■ . , V: .
It stood on the very; margin of
•Tbe situation, the hour, her look of deep ab
straetion, aa meditating, .perhaps, on the fatal
plnngO’r-appeared'to strengthen my fearful
conjecture; and I advanoed uhpvoeived sc

move/and though the accents reached me not; 1
the intelligence, the expression of that angel'
countenance oopld npk.be! mistaken. It was
a study for a Painter, if indeed the art of man
could depict doe‘traits of Hoftven.
; I was lost in admiration, '.in Render, when
■ a loud shriek from the; aubergO dispersedthe
lovely vision. : With , the swiftness of a lap-.
•Wing Justine fled back to tbs house, while;!
more cautious! in 'my speed, regained my
|. apartment by’ tb? window, uqperpewed. It
1 whs the floor widow, who, awaking and mm-
ing her daughter, had raised ? fche Wild cry of
dread, almost of despair. A:few words from
Justine seemed to tranquilize the feelings of
the'agonized mother. They mingled their
tears awhile, and then, I will hope, slept; it
not, their grief at least was silent.
I rose early in the morning, but Justine
had been long up and busied in her domestic
affairs, serene and tranquil ns' though* riot a”
breeze had fuffled the calm current of her
peaceful mind. To'havo attempted counsel
or consolation,, \vould have been to insult the
feelings of one whose own heart was her best
and surest monitor * After partaking, there
fore, of a breakfast, the grapes for which I
found had cost Justine a long ramble, I‘de
parted on my way, well contented to leave
her to the guidance of Rer,own purity, and
the protecting love of one of .the, most affec
tionate of parents.
? Circumstances led me at the close .of the
autumn to retracepqrt of my former route’;
And’ari unabated interest in the fortunes of
Justine, aitFaoted my Esteps once more to the
little aubqrge, Which, through 1 every after
scene, had still beeri preseriVto' my memory.
J was received with the grateful smiles that,
seldom fall, among these simple-minded peo
ple, to repay any expression, of attachment
oh the part of a stranger. Justine was still
pale, but the recovered cheerfulness and ani
mation of the ola woman seemed to indicate
reviving hope arid expectation.. ■Sad I doubt
ed this, it bad soon been confirmed.
It was evening when I arrived, and 1 was
yet conversing with Justine, .when ruy old
friend Henri entered the cottage. His'fine,
manly features were bright wit'i health 'and
good humor; and whether it wks that Justine
was.gratified hy his delighted recognition of
the traveller whom he"had guided, a smile
stole'over her beautiful countenance. But it
was something mesa. The .worth of the
young,soldier was slowly but secretly effao
ing tho impression of a misplaced attachment.
, ‘Poor Arnaud 1’ exclaimed Henri.
‘What of him ?’ 'dried the old woman,’'
' .‘ Ob, notKirig.new, save that his grapes are
sour, and his'shrew of a:wife.sourer still.—
Hp.is the veriest slave that lives.”
- 4 He ever was,’ said the dame,. 4 a slave tp
his Pwn greedy desire of gain ;wfor that he
hits Bbld.what nothing poace

this to bb oontont’Wifh”—
4 Justine and level’ exclaimed the.youtii;
4 hut that were impossible-! , ‘Content ie too
oold a word for'pubh surpassing bliss 1’
Justine blushed, an’dlooked as if she would
have frowned, hut knew not how I and a stray
glance of her eye -'seemed ta auger well -not!
only for 1 the happiness of my, friend Henri,
but, T will -hope also, for the peace of her own,
pure heart. ■ '! ,
I was'riot deceived'; they were soon after
united; thp vices of Arnaud becoming thus
the unconscious means of rewarding the vir
tues of Henri and Justine.
A Clever 'Oabb-pe^Cut-Out.—lt is many
years since I fell in love with-Jane Jerusba

and the night-winds learned our-talk. -Jane
Jane Jerushw was'all to 'me, for my heart
was young and true, and I loved with afloub
le and twisted love, and a love that was hon
est, too. I reamed all over the neighbor’s
farms, and I robbed the wiidwood' bowers,
and .1 tore my. trousers and.,sDrritgb«d' my
hands, in search of the choicest flowers. ,In
my'joyous love,l brought all these to my
darling Jeruslta Jane ;.but,l would not be eo
foolish now, it I were a boy again.' 'it city
chap than came along nil dressed up iu store
clothes, with a shiny hat and shiny best, and
a moustache under his nose. He talked to
her of singing schobls, '(foß-her father-owned
a farm)—arid, she left.me; the country lovej
and took the new chop’s arm. All-that night
I never slept, nor,could I eat next day, for i
loved , that girl with a fervent love- that
nough t-could drive away. I strove to win
her back to me, hut it was all in vain'; the
city chap, with the hairy, lip, married Jeru

Capture op a Brigand. —ln the year 1816,
'Mr. Wortley, a merchant from Naples, was
traveling .post .with a swisa 'merchant; and
.had nearly reached t{jo city of Capua, which
is about fourteen miles from Naples, when
bis carriage was suddenly stopped by a for
midable band tff ’robbers. 1 It was night but
• <*> beautiful smoon—the moon bf-Naples is
worth a London .sun—illuminated the scene,
.and allowed.the Englishman and
paniou to see th'ut there yere only three or
four 1 brigimvfs near the conob, and;that‘tbey
'bad not Vfet knocked'the postilion 'off his
.horses. Mr. "Wortley .took his measure's ac
.cordingly with groat presence of mind and
boldness. -A* the foremost brigand came to
the side of the 'carriage; within reach, bawl
ing and-cursing for those ynthib to come Cut
prid be robbed, he caught hold of the ruffian
by the breasts of his jacket and called out to
the postilion to .gallop off to Capua, Vhon he
should be well rewarded. The postilion, who
had known him before on the mad, took Mr.*
Wortley at his word, and, with a Ijoldne&s
rarely found in hua class, whipped his hors
es* that wont off—As Neapolitah .'horses gen
‘ erally will do—“ an end.” As the postilion’s
whip touched the withers of his steed's, a bul
let whizzed past ing head, but missed its aim l .
.Awaython went the carriage, and .the mor*
chants, and the robber, as swift-as, the old
’witches in Goethe’s Faust; Mr. Wortley who
was a robust man,’keeping a firm hold of thu
robber, who dangled, his head and shoulders
in, and the.rest of his body outside of the ve
hicle—something like a calf over a batcher’s
cart. After, numerous but vast'effprts to ex
'tricate himself from tholr. graap, : tl}e captur
ed brigand, whose legs were .braised against
the‘rapidly-revolving carriage ■wheels, and ;
whose’ breath was almost bumped out of bis
body, protested it was all a mistake,’anid
beggnd most piteously to bo teileased; '-'The
merchants, however, kept the prize they had
made in so, curious a manner, ond soon arriv
ed at Capua. This being ! a fortified town,
most awkwardly for travellerej placed on the
high road, they had to wait some time until
a letter was sent to.tHe commandant. and
permission obtained to admit them. When,
the drawbridge 'was lowered, they rolled oyer
with the robber still dangling at the coach
side, and.delivered ;him at the guatd-hopse.
■fhe next; morning, Mr. Wortely and’ his
friend appeared before the justice of the
peace, and after their dispositions -had been
received, the ’'brigand was given over to the
civil authorities, and enst into-prison,
he, lay for many month?, without being
brought to judgment. What finally became
ofliim we ueverlearned.
Poke op \V!«llington,— lt has been
evident, I suppose,'.to erery one who has had
much intercojurse withl his soldiers, they they
entertained no affection for the late Duke of

character, the severity with which he enfor-.
'ced discipline in the Peninsula, arid the strict
1 regard to, justice and the public purse .with,
which he awarded pensions at home,-acting
iuipon an ill-informed and not over scrupulous
mind, created- a feeling amongst them that
I he, was not. the. soldier's friend* This un
luippy impression obtained to such a degree,-
thqt his name was seldom mentioned by them.
