Warwick. to whom he had articled through
the influence of the squire, had spoken
favorably of his abilities; and that in two
more days he vrotild leave for London, to

Taking my hand in his with a look from

to which the feelings of a life seem com

silence we left the spot and rejoined our

At length; as time wore on, I concluded,
that pride with him had conquered have,
and ;that I was forgotten • but 't•wrouged
him - by these thoughts; forgotten;
the morning
after may father's harsh refusal, he sent me
a letter, which was delivered into my father's
hands, who quietly' locked it in his desk,
where it lay undisturbed for OM's, until at
length I discovered it.
The Jousl ran thus: "My Jemmy, I have
spoken to your father, and can hardly
wonder that, proud of you, as he justly Is,
he should have scorned toy httmpreSuit.
Assured of your love, I eith trust td time

wait, and hope. I ask no.anore. It shall
not be long before I come to claim my
bride, and then, even your fathet shall not
scorn for his your fond, devoted
lover, Frank sitoprord." This letter I never
received, and Frank left our village, with
ea 4 and bitter thoughts in his heart, of the
pruil village beauty, who could so soon
plight and break her troth.
The weeks I counted from our parting
grew into Months, the months. into years,
and I heard nothing from Frank. Two
years after be left us, his aged hither died,
and his mother went to London to join her
son ; so all! communication between him
and our village ceased. Once a London
newspaper fell into my hands, and I read
of a trial in which the prisoner was elo
quent ly defended by Mr. F, Stopford. Once,
too, I saw a notice of a book, of which he
was named the author, and the high terms
in which 'he critic spoke both of the work
and oft* Writer, made me feel how far
above me my former lover was placed, and

in his crops,'noticed not the shadow his too
proud fondness had cast over his daughter's
life. It was one sultry evening in autumn
that my father and I rod€'ovw- to the mar
ket town, to place in the hank there a sum
of money which he had received for his
Born. As we entered the town, we noticed
that a strange excitement seemed to per
vade it; well-dressed men were running to
and fro with faces expressive of anger and
anxiety ; and as we approached the bank
we perceived a large crowd collected before
it, noisy surging, and' clamorous for the
doors to be opened. As my father drove
up the throng made way, and, amid a si
lence thatstrucat ominously upon my heart,
we alighted. One brawny fellow pressed

streaming down his furrowed cheeks, he
burst forth : "oh, Jtesy ! Jesay ! the money.

At _was in vain to seek to comfort him ;
froth that day the old man drooped ; his
beloved gold he could not forget. By de
grees he took less interest in the farm, and
suffered many things to be neglected. The
consequence was, that the land, badly cut
titat eql, i god aced poor crops; this, of 00Unie,
reduced the profits, so that, on the second
half •ear after our logs, my father found

When it became known in the village
that farmer Flower had received no s tiee to

Squire Maxwell lost much of the popular

we came !to this cottage, which had been
nay mother's early home. The change did
my dear father good, hut his spirit was bro

the injustice to which he had been sub

in the direction of the hall. More and

A fear suspicion crossed my mind : the

I called, he answered not—he came not at
my cries. An hour of terrible Suspense en
sued. The flames had died away, and look
ing out into the still, dark night, I doubt
ed whether all was not the delusion of a
heated imagination. A step upon the grav
el path made me fly to the door. " Father,"
I cried, but. alas! my gaze rested not upon
his face, but on that of a stranger, whom
by his dress, I recognized as a constable;
and behind whont stood the steward and
two farm servants from the hall.

" Very flne," answered the man brutally,
"but, by your leave, I must search."

"Why, It is s sad ape, bat the SqUire's

As the steward uttered these words, my

a ory of Joy rolloped him bray onm.—

My denr.tatlior. with a firm step, stood be

The, usual forms were gone thnnigh; sev
eral viritn•ses were called, to prove the
threat uttered by my father, and that he
was seen on the evening of the fire hurry
ing away from the direction of the burning'
ricks. The steward and constable related
the fail:. of his absence from home, and of
his return and capture. The case was thus
4trong against the prisoner, when the judge
(sailed upon him for his defence.
At this moment a barrister, wheelie pres
ence I had not before observed, ru:se and
intimated that he appeared for the prisoner
at the bar. Every eye was turned u him, for it was well known that no advo
cate tied been employed on my father's be

glance he appeared but a feeble champion,
but when his face was turned towards me,
and I marked the eyes so quick and pier

noble Countenance, joy, hope an - d, wonder
took possession of me. Was it, could it
be?—so chenged, and yet so like! The first

Without leaving the court, the twelve
jurytrien, amid the 'tears of some, and the
hearty eheers of others, declared John
Flower "Not Guilty."
Five minutes afterwards, in irsmall back
room, I was waiting for my father with a
heart overflowing with joy and gratitude,
when the door opened, and Frank Stopford
entered. Forgetting the yearsiee had been

fierce winds, made the night dark and

chair, smoking his huge Meerchaum, the
very picture of indolent enjoyment, while
his lips were curled with a Writ sneer.—
We had been talking of gliosts, and a re•

he had misunderstood me, I thought I
would keep up the delusion, and therefore
began to d,efend myself.
"Tom," said I, " I will relate an adven-
Vim, that I met with some ten years ago,
which made quite an inspresson on me, at
the time, and will perhaps convince you of
the truth of my theory.
"At the tirne of which I speak, I was a

"One evening, lit December, the coldest

attend an old friend of mine, who was the
master of a neighboring plantation. I
made hurried preparations to follow his
faithful slave, &limbo and, mounting my
favorite nag. we started, Samba" taking the
lead on his old white ' mar.' We rode on
through the pines, for some time in silence.
The wind was howling mournflilly through
the tall tree-tops, and the distant lights of

scene. It may have been the effect of this
scene upon my mind, or the sudden sick
ness of my old friend, (who was usually in
excellent health) or it may have been these
combined—but whatever cause it was, cer
tain it is, that a dim presentiment of some
dog evil about to happen. came over me.
I am not usually superstitiou., nor do I
place much reliance us preeenuments, but
had you been in my place, you would have,
felt the same. To break the silence, r
turned to Sambo, and enquired what was
the matter with his master"
•' ' Dunno, Massa," said the old follow,
with au ominous shake of his head. • but
him am berry sick.'
" I found I could get nothing from him,
and we rode on as fast as possible, and soctn
after arrived at the mansion of Ittskjor Tap•
ley--after whom, being one of the oldest
and most influential settlers, the village
was named.
" The Major, who was a hale, portly old
gentleman, bad applied himself too close
ly to business for some time past, and the
sudden change of the weather had brought
on a itt of Apoplexy. The frightened ne
groom had immediately aent•for me, n. 9 the
only thing they could do. Ide wes still in
sensible when I arrived, and, dismissing
the host of servants, I assured them that I
thought thtir master would soon recover,
and turned to the bedside of my friend.—
Assisted by an aged nurse, I administered
all the remedies in my power. and soon had
the satisfaction of seeing him restated td
conseiousuess, and Soon after he fell into
au easy slumber.
"My long ride had wearied me very
much ; and as there was no need of my
watching the Major, the old nurse, after
Haying she would sit by her master, and
gull me if necessary. offered to show me
my mom—on offer which I gladly accept
ed. On entering my room, I found it to
be a spacious, hut gloomy apartment, whore
till-posted bed steed and narrow windows
were draped with dark purple hangings,
which gave it a very sombre appearance.—
On one side of the room, was a small fire
place, In which a newly-made fire was burn-
Mg. Between the two windows was a small
ales,, table, draped in white, upon which
were burning two wax. °addles, in large,
old-faahioned silver candelabras. The
furniture was of the Clizabethian style, and,
altogether, It was about sa gloomy an apart

presentiments which -I had in the early
