We wan-. dered through the time-worn rooms, and spelt out many a name upon the walls— some lowly and unknown. others noble'and kingly Ar length it was proposed that we should separate and seek amusement for ourselves. Frank Stopford begged per mission to show me the churchyard and the tomb of the great poet. We soon reach ed the row of noble trees that overhang the Avon ; under their Atacie we walked, elide Frank, with eloquent nords, pictur -1 to nit. the life of England's noblest son, his wild youth, his love, his genius, his life in London. his end so sad and so inglori ous. Then he proceeded to speak of him-' self, and to tell me that the solicitor in 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 try his fortune in the great city, where mo many hopes are blighted, so many hearts crushed. IZZECCI3 My quivering lips and starting tears em boldened him. "Jessy," he said, •• I go without fear, if I go armed with Your love: it will be a beacon to gude me in time of trial, to cheer me in moments of despon dency. Tell me. dearest, is it mine' I feel that I shall some day win a name worthy for you to share; we are both young; tell me,. Jessy, can you love and watt ? With a wildly throbbing heart, but clear, firm voice. I replied ; " For you dear Frank, I will love and wait, and hope."— Taking my hand in his with a look from his .blue eyes that sank into my heart, he spoke to me in faltering tones of his deep, abounded love, I could not reply, for my heart was too MI. There are moments in to which the feelings of a life seem com pressed, and this was such to p e. I would have giv'en worlds to have t Id hini how long, how passionately I h adloved him ; but the words died upon my lips, and in silence we left the spot and rejoined our companions. During the homeward ride, we conjured up bright visions of our future life ,• I spoke with hopeful confidence of his talent* and success. He, with a lover's enthusiasm, deekred that possessing me, hewas already. rich. At parting he prettied upon my lips One long, close kiss; and full of hope, sprung across the fkdds to meet my father, and acquaint him with our mutual love.— That night, as I laidmy - bead upon the pillow, the world seemed to me to overflow with joy, my path through life to be strewn with roses.

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.

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 hoe soon one So humble as myself must have been+him forgotten. 'Time . pe on in our old farmhouse with quiet s rides. My father, wrapped up 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 foryav4.

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 hints It unable rte usual, to go to the hall with tia bent in his hand.

This news ca.me upon my poor father likes thuuder-stroke; end bestrode from the hall. veering vengeanee on the squire and all that was his. When it became known in the village that farmer Flower had received no s tiee to Squire his farm, indignation ran high s*nrl Squire Maxwell lost much of the popular ity ho had gained through erecting a hew I/clout-he/um and reading-room, by thisi ex ercise of Arbitrary power. It was thus, sir, 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 ken, and: he went about a moodY and dis appointed man; he never could forgive the injustice to which he had been sub jecteri. One dark night I Slur sitting alone, mu sing on our altered fortunes, when my at tention was caught by a bright lurid light in the direction of the hall.

I searched every corner, 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.

At length the judge appeared, and, last oft'', My denr.tatlior. with a firm step, stood be fore the bar. 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 half. Youthful, slight, and e, at a first glance he appeared but a feeble champion, but when his face was turned towards me, and I marked the eyes so quick and pier cing, the. firm, indomitable energy of that noble Countenance, joy, hope an - d, wonder took possession of me. Was it, could it be?—so chenged, and yet so like! The first syllable of . his voice assured me it aw Frank Stn ford—my Frank—who pleaded for my father; and such pleading! At the glori4s, eloquent words that flowed so easily from his lips! the very breath of his heard ils seemed suspended.

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.
