It consisti of a tied of peat 111,9, and has -to alluvial

their roots attached, and manifestly in the place and

whose surface, with ahght variation-, is horizontal,
and on a level with low water mark. It seems pret
ty certain that this moss must be at least ten feet
below itsuriginil level. On examination of the phe
nomenon, Dr. Fleming, in his parer on the si,hiect,
in the Transactions of the floral Society of Edin
burgh, fur 162.2, supposes the former existence of a
lake stit this locality—that it gradually filled up, and
became covered with vegetable matter, it sufficed
for the groWt o revs—that the seaward barrier
was then re ce.:edlnd that the moisture now fire

"Well, my dear, will you go to the party to-night ?
you know we have a very polite imitation."
Why, my love, just as you please : you know
I always wish to consult your pleasure."
"Well, then, Harriet, supoose we go; that is, if
your are perfectly willing ; now don't say yes, be
cause Ldo, for you know that where you are, there
I am perfectly h-ppy."
"Why, my love, you would enjoy yourself there I
am sure, and whenever you are happy, I shall be of
course. What dress shall I wear, Wdham, my
white satin with blonde, or my ashes of roses, or
my levaune. or my wnitc lace, you always know
better then I about such things "
"Harriet, dearest you look beautiful in anything,
now take your own choice to-night—but [think you
look very well in the white satin." •
"There, William, dear, I knew you would think
just as I did—oh ! how happy we shall he there to

••Leave thee, dearest, leave thee I
No; by yonder star I swear!"

that is, you are always learning poetry to make me
happy."
"And Harriet, my own prized Harriet, would I not
do any thing in the world to give you one Moment's
happiness A Oh you are so very, very dear to me,
it seeing at times almost too much happiness to last."
"Oh, do not say so, dear Willi • .1, it will last—
and we shall see many years happier than tuis,
for will, not our love grow stronger and deeper every
yearl and now dearest, I will be back w one moment,
and then we will go."
"There she has gone, bright and beautiful creature
she is—Oh how miserable I should be without her,'
she has indeed cast a strong spell around my heart,
and one that never, no never can be broken ; she is
the only star of my existence, guiding to virtue

Men and VVOmen.---..Men love for things, as facts,
possessions, and estates ; and women, persons, and
while a man regards only abstract scientific facts, a
woman looks only at the person in whom they arc
embodied. Even in childhood, the girl lopes an tmi•
Cation of humanity, her doll, and works for it, the
boy gets a hobby horse or tools, and works with
them. .Byt the noblest qualities wherewithal nature
has endowed woman for the good of the world is love
—that lose which seeks no sympathy and no return.
The child is the object of love, and kissed and watch
ing, and answers them only by complaints and an
ger.: and the feeble creature that requires the most.
repays the least. But the mother loves on ; her tore
only grows stronger, the greater the need, and the
greatt.r the inithanktulness of its object—and while
fatheils prefer the strongest of their 'children, the
mother feels na , st love fur the most feeble and af

Blanche of Rossberg.
There was no sound but thC sigh of the night
wind in the deserted streets of Gottingexi ; the cry
of the reicher had ceased; the night-guard had
sought shelter in his cot; nothing distutbed the si
lence of the hour but the bay of the distant wolf
hound, and the fitful bursts of the blast, as if stirred
the sickly flame of many an expiring lamp, or swept
with iestless moans the gloomy buildings cif the city.
tt - fis a cold and cheerless night, Sir Alwyn and,
by our Lady ! it were well to have tarried longer in
the hostelry. Holy Saint Elfwold, how the wind
blows ! "

forgets me not. Count Rossberg•s daiighter—m.y

father "
I said even so; but I said but what I heard.
St. Bertha. I have neither shriven nor seen the dam

be brought; for, sleeping or waking, the maiden,
since heeillness, has done little else but murmur
GE=
Alwyn struck his hand to his forehead ; then sud
denly grasping the arm of his companion, again ex
claimed, .. But thou savest not she is dying, father!"
"Shrine of the Virgin !" cried the monk; "I have
told ye twenty times. Holy St. Peter; Dost . thou
think men quit their cells to go fool's errands on
such nights as' these ? "
Alwyn only replied by quickening his pace ; and
after Proceeding for some time in silence, they at
length reached the outer gate of the convent, and
he was soon conducted by his guide into the entrance
hall of the building. Here the youth—having de
clinq the courteous Offer of the monk to visit the re
fectory—after waiting impatiently for, some minutes,
was approached by a lay-sister, bearing a small sil
ver lamp, lobo silently conducted him through .I.ev
crai nafrow but lofty passages, until she came to a
small door, which she cautiously opened, and,:tur
ning round to the_ youth, beclumed him to follow
her. • •
Alwyn entered the apartment; and his compan
ion. making a motion of silence, approached if couch,
upon which a young and lovely girl reposed, as if in
sleep. Long ringlets of silken auburn fell over her
neck and bosom ; one beautiful .arm hung from
the couch, the small white hand holding a crucifix
of ivory ; her fate was pale.; her lips, though half
apart, were motionless; and so noiselessly she
breathtd, that the lay-sister bent fqr a moment over
her, as if to ascertain that the spirit of the sick maid
en had not passed away.
The fair sleeper slowly opened her eyes.-- 1 ... How
fares the Lady Blanch 1 " inquired the lay-sister.
Better, kind sister ; the sleet' has refreshed me.
Thou halt beenli AA& nurse, tllrica. But I shall
soon trouble thee ' no anger."
Say not so, sweetest Blanche. Thine eye has'
lost much of its restless lustre, and the blue veins on
your brow tell no longer Of death. Blessed Viagin
be praised ! Thou Witt live to be the Countess of
Romberg, and present me with thy bridal chaplet."
Dian& ! eeareitr Blanch ! " said another voice
near the couch; and y6ung Alwyn, keeling beside
it, pressed her hand to his lips. the long•dark locks
hid the tears that were s•-ting to his eyelids; but
the maiden felt them fall fast and werm upon her
