At the close of a gloomy day in Novem ber, Albert Fitzgerald, a young man of Very egant and ►utcrestiug appearance, annal had missed-his way and was descending a lonely hill that ended in a thick forest. He stopped before he entered the-dreary ruatand cast an inquiring and eager gaze around—but saw no alternative except to go on, or retrace his steps and ascend the long tedious "ibis is abominable," said he, as he pull ed the reins to stop his tired beast; "I should be quite unwilling to make a supper for some hungry wolf or bear. It would be a most in plorious end to my journey, and nut at all perhaps there are 11Q such .1.. ._t prowle-inere, and at all events it is a straight path: I can try it a mile or two, and if I hear any thing alarming I can return: it will not be very soldier like to be sure, to run from the ene my; but there is no one to trumpet my fame in this wood—so come on, my tired dapple." The evening was fast closing, and he could only ride slowly, and with great cau tion, as the stumps of the trees often stood many feet high anclonuch impeded his pro. 'gress. After he had been riding l;ir some time the snow commenced falling and Fitzgerald began to be seriously alarmed, when, sud denly, a bright , light shoneh throug, the un derwood at no great distance. llt-galloped quickly on, and saw,,to his surprise and de light, a very corn urtablelo6king log louse with glazed windows, quite art uncommon thing in the back country. suppose," said he, "I shall share with tthme dp:zen little - iiifif6licactsl, cactis tr by dirt and clamor to make toe as uncom fortable as possible—well !

'Her dim was that of arfistie, and her slight .persOn, though thus unadorned, more fault less than the finest models he had over gq.ed on in the halls offashion and elegance. Fitzgerald almost doubted his senses; for - nothing mortal had ever seemed to him half so lovely. Her little white hand -and dim pled fingers were Smoothing , the gray hairs of a most noble looking old man, who sat. before a bright fire. His fitce was pale and care worn. Ilis large, expressive eves were turned on his youthlill companion with a tendeiiess that seemed te affect her Much, for she kissed his wrinkled cheeks again and again; and seemed trying,, by a thousand winning ways to'divelt him from his sorrows. -He was dressed like a farmer; but'round his Chair was thrown a large military cloak, ap parently to screen him from the weather, one ,corner of which covered his foot-that rested on bench belore him. The room was *lean and ceMfortable, though it contained nothing but some chairs, a table and a shelf oficoOks.

Fitzgerald hail 'never felt so much at a loss fir conversation. To meet two such beings in a thick forest, so far fruni any human hab itations, seemed so strange that he scarce knew how to address them; but the old gen tleman began asking him about the road, huw far he had travelled, &e. and told hint he was inure than thirty miles from the place he enquired for, and ' which he thought of reaching that night.

"Happy!" said he, as he raised his mourn fill eyes to Albert; "I am almoSt to my journey's end: could I but _behold this forest thiS only tie to earth; safely situated in the world, I should die contented."
