Responsive to their dock*.
And "hush ! hush l' t to my ear

There lived in the village a young man
named Mark Moreland. He was hand
some and possessed a taste for books and
abounding in animal spirits, he was usu.
ally the victor in all the village sports.
As he wore his laurels proudly, the-young
men envied him, but the aged shook their
heads, and prophesied that Mark would
come to no good, for he was idle.
Mary's beauty did not escape his no
tice, and her mother's little possessions
rendered her more attractive. Lt was his
custom when returning from shooting or
fishing. to slop at the widow's cottage, and
to present her with the choicest of his
spoils. He would read to them of eve
nings, and the notes oh his flaw harmoni
zing with the clear joyous voice of little
Mary. often arrested the step of the pas
sing villagers. To the inexperienced girl
he appeared to be all he assumed ; nut so
in the e 3 es of her mother.
Mary loved him with that depth of de
votion the human heart can feel but once.
Imagination hail clothed thq object of her
idolatry with all the attributes of perfection.
Young love bends to an idol of its own
creation, and zealously threads the 'Uni
verse in pursuit of the richest offerings to
increase its ideal beauty ; but when the
charm is broken, and the cloud of incense
dispelled, the object is frequently found to
be as repulsive as the ass's head around
which Titania entwined her fairy . gar
lands.
The widow discovered with grief the
bias of her child's affections, end used all
pe:suasion to estrange' her feelings. She
referred to their peaceful condition, and

The scoffer will be somewlat astonish

should turn out to be eternal truth, and the
wisdom of ages has been eSaretlikglY fa-
Yore ble on that side of the question.—
Scoff on. thou fool t You first assume to
yourself the attribute tit Omniscience, and
then impudently deny that omniscience
can exist elsewhere than in your own
brain. Thou know-all-worm kis pos
sible that by chance you have missed a
figure.
Mary wept, for it was the first time she
had given the mother pain t the first time
she believed her to be in error ; still she
appreciated her motives and struggled to
comply with her wishes. It was a con
filet oL deep-rooted heeling—a strife be.
tweets duty and hive. It is unnecessary
to add which proved the victor.
Aware that Miriam would never consent
to their union, Mark per.matled the infat
uated girl to be married privately. It.was
her first act of dibobcdtence ; she no long
er felt herself the guileless being she had
been up to that hour ; it seemed to her
that she had changed nature with some
abhorred and guilty thing, and Mark
endeavored ii. yob' to assuage t h e poig
nancy of her feelings. She had deceived
her mother—confidence had ceased to ex
ist—and she trembled as a criminal in her
prusenee.
When the unhappy tidings were divulg
ed. the widow wept in secret over her
blighted hopes, bui not a word of feproach
fell from her lips to embitter the chalice
her deluded child had prepared for her own
lips. She reeieved Mark in her humble
dwelling, and treated him as her son.
Mark's conduct underwent a thorough
change, and Miriam imagined that edie had
seen the error Of his - ways, and turned
from them. In the simplicity of her heart
she eaid—"this my son was dead and is
alive again ; he was lost and is found."
Mark having gained her confidence pm.
posed to embark in business, as he was
weary of an idle life. But he had not the
means and he applied to Miriam to assist
hint. Mary added her entreaties, and
the widow pledged her bide all to promote
the welfare of her children. The result
