Some dozen years ago, I passed a couple of early summer months m Devonshire, fishing ; changing one picturesque scene of sport for another, always disbelieving that I should find so fair a place as that last quitted, and always having pleasantly to acknowledge myself wrong. There is in deed an almost inexhaustible treasure of delicious nooks in that fertile country, which comprehends every element of land scape beauty--coaat and inland, hill and valley, moor and woodland—and excels in nothing more than in its. curved rivers.— What clifflike and full-foliaged banks about their sources, and what rich mead ows sprinkled with unrivalled trine, as they broaden towards the sea At the close of my tour, I was lodging in a farm house near a branch of tbeTate, rather re gretful at the thought dm soon having to shoulder my knapsack amd return to native Dorset, near a certain n t i incial town of a. • which county, and in boriaood with out a tree within sight, a a stream within sound, it was my lot to.dwell. We had lately thrown out a• to thcl drawing-room Otero, rithy, cannot tell, foe there was yothilsg to see of undnlo •ng an • varied landscape could be dis cerned, with the old cathedral towers of the capital city standing grandly Op against the southern sky • it is not true that people who live in pic turesque places do not appreciate them, but only that they require to be made to understand their good-fortune: Michael Courteny, the good man of the farm, and like all in' class, a thorough stay at home, could not discover what J found in that look-out from his house to make such a fuss about t but his wife who had once paid a visit to her son when in business at Bir min gliam knew perfectly well. 'oneern in g which son Robert, by the by, there wad a sad tale. fie was the only child of the good pair, and one who should have been there at. Cowles, the right hand of his fath er, and the comfort of his loving mother ; but the young man had decided otherwise. He had never taken to farming. but had grieved his father hugely by a hankering after mechanical studies, which the old ag riculturist associated almosT with the black art itself. Thinking himself to have a gift for the practical sciences, Robert was apprenticed in Birmingham and for a time bade fair to acquit himself well. But it hurl not been [terming to which he was in reality averse, so much as to restraint of any kind ; and finning, after a little, that he could not be his own master at the lathe, any more than at the plough, he forsook his second call: ing likewise. This had justly angered Michael, and drawn from him, on the re turn of the lad, certain expressions which his young spirit undutifully resented.— There was a violent scene in that.ful homestead of ('Dales one day ; and on the next morning, when the house was astir,. it was found that Robert had Om away in the night-time. nor had he since either returned home or written of his where abouts. It was a year ago and more by this time, during which period Mrs. Courteny had grown older than in the half-dozen years before, while the old man himself, said the farm-people, had altered to the full as much as she, although, for his part, he had sever owned to it. It was not he who told me of the matter, but t,he gudevelfd who was fond of me—as my vanity was obliged to 'confess—mainly because I was of the age of her lost lad, and so reminded her of him. I slept in the very room which had , formerly been her Hobert's, sad a wry comfortable little room it wits. Here it was, very early one MN morn ing, before even the earliest risers of the farm were up, that I was awakened by these three words, pronounced close by me in the distinctest tones :—“The-ferry man waits." So perfectly conscious wee I of having been really addressed, that I sat up in my bed at once, and replied: "Well, and what is that to met" before the absurdity of the intimation had time- to , strike me.— The snow white curtains of the little bed were completely undrawn, so that no per son could have been hidden behind them. Although it was not broad daylight, every object was clearly discernable, and the half-opened window came the cool, licious summer air with quickening !rag 'ranee. I heard the dog rattle his ohm; is the yard as he clime out of his kennel and shook himself, and then returned to it las -1 ily, as though it was not time to be up yet. A cock crew, but very unsatisfactorily, leaving off in the middle of his perform ance, as though be holt lesin mistaken in the Lour. though witch. a More reliable chronicler, informed me that it wanted a quarter of four o'clock. I was not aectistosned to be iiiialienedat such a time as that, and turned; myself somewhat indignantly on Abe pillow, re gretful that I had eaten eititted.cream At' sigr therisrocatting eitente ity nay SF It f still, • with my eyes 4indenvor ing since I oaidd not get* sleep again, to reount for the peculiar nature of my late nightmare, as I bad made up mind to con , sides it, until the cuckoo clock on the oaken ell* outside struck four. The last note of the maithludeal bird had died away, whenagain, close to the=w l ,l Y uttered, not only with distinctness, latemith a most unmistakable earnestness; Missals piece of Information Which had IMO* aDistartied me already ;—"The fee:l7- MM waits." Thenq got up, and looked under the little bed. and behind it ; intothe small cupboard where my one eheng.e of boots was kept, and where there was room for scarcely anything else. I sounded the wall neamest'my herVe•head, and fourid it solid enough' 01 was also an outside wall • nor from any of the more remote ones could so distinct a summons have come. Then I pushed! the window chsement fully back, and thrust my head and bare neek into the morning air, If I was still asleep, I was determined to wake myself,' and then, if I shoUld hear them ai : 7ms Voice again I was determined too it. I - was not alarmed, nor even distur in ray mind, although greatly Interested. The eircum stancea of my position preclude any super natural terror. The animals in the farm yard were lying in the tumbled straw cloie by. and near enough to be startled at a shout of mine ; some pigeons were already circling round the dovecot, or pacing, sen tinel-like, the little platforms before their domiciles ; and the Round of the lasher, by whose circling eddies I had sooften watch ed for trout, came cheerfully and with in viting tone across the dewy meadows. The I whole landscape seemed instinct with new born life, and to have thoroughly shaken off the solemnity of the dreary night. Its surpassing beauty and freshness so entirely took possession of me indeed than in its contemplation I absolutely forgot the in explible occurrence which had brought toe to the - window. I was wrapped in the endeavor to make out whether those taper ing lines, supporting, as it appeared, a mass of southern cloud, were indeed t he pinnacles of the cathedral, when close by my-ear, chicle by, as though the speaker had his face at the casement likewise, the words were a third time uttered : "The ferryman waits." There was a deeper seriousness in its tone on this occasion, an appeal which seemed to have a touch of pathos as well as gloom; but it was the same voice, and one which I shall never forget. I did not hesitate another moment, but dressed myself as quickly as I could, and descending the stairs, took down the vast oaken door-bar, and let myself out, as I had been wont to do when I went betimes a. fishing. Then I strode southward along the footpath lead ing through the fields• to where the river ferry was, some three miles off, now doubt ing. new believing, that the ferryman did irait there at such an unusual hour, and for me. I made such good use of my legs, that it was not five o'clock when I reached the last meadow that lay between me and the stream ; it was higher ground than its neighbor land, and every step I took I was looking eagerly to come in sight of the ferry-house, which was on the opposite bank, and by no means within easy bailing" distance. At last, I did so, and observed, to my astonishment, that the boat was not at its usual moorings. It must needs, therefore, have been already brought over upon my own side. A few steps further brought me into view of it, with the ferry man standing up in the stern leaning on his punt pole and looking intently in my p direction. He gave a eat "hallo" when ho recognised me, and I returned it, for e reaurverrrnwcza times, aft:er : 1 haw been waiting for you nigh upon half an hour." Waiting for we?" echoed I. "I don't know how that can be, since nobody knew that I was coming ; and indeed I didn't know it myself till"— And there I know myself upon the very verge of con fessing myself to have been fooled by a voice. Perhaps the ferryman himself may be concerned in the trick, thought 1, and is now about to charge me roundly for be ing taken across-out of hours. " Well sir," returned the Genius of the River, turning his peakless cap hind before• which was his fashion when ,puzaled, and ci•rtainly a much more polite one than common to the brethren of the land, of scratching their heads- - all 1 can say is, as I was roused at half-past three or so by a friend of yours, saving as though you would be waiting me in a little while on the north bank." _ • What frientLwaa that?" inquireol I " Nay, sir, for that matter. I can't say.. since I didn't see him, but I heard him well enough at all events, and as plain as I now hear you. I was asleep when be first call ed me from outside yonder, and could scarcely make any sense of it ; but the see. and time I was wide awake; land the third tune, as I was undoing the window, there could be no mistake about—"Be ready for Philip Heaton on the nor' bank, he said." " And how was it yon missed seeing my friend?" inquired I. as carelessly as I could. " Ile was , in such a hurry to be gone. I reckon, thetas soon as he heard my window open, and knew he had roused me. he set or. His voice came round the e ast coiner of the cottage as though he went Exter way. I wouldn't have got up at such a time, and at such a .ummons, for many other folks but you. I do assure you, Master Philip." " Thank you," said 1, though by no means quite convinced; "you're a -grxwi fellow, and here's five shillings for you.— And now put me across and show me the nearest way by which I can get to the EMN " Now,. if by some inscrutable means, the ferryman—who had become the lead ing figure in my mind because of the mys terious warning—or any accomp lice of his had played me a trick, and trumped up a story for my further bewilderment, they had not, I flattered myself, very much cause for boasting. I Wad evinced but slight curiceity about the unknown gentle man who had heralded my approach ,at daylight, and I had a real object in my early rising—that of reaching the capital city, at last ten miles away. But my own brain was, for all that, a prey to the most conflicting suggestions, not one of which was of thud service towards an explanation of the events of the morning. There was I, at a little after 5 A. 11., with a Walk before me of ten, and a walk behind !me of three good Devon miles, breakfaatless, without the least desire to reach the place-I was - bound for--and all because of a couple of vox-rt-pretara-sihi/-s, yokes without a body between them. I consumed the way in mentally reviewing all the circumstances of the ease again end agates and by no means in a credulous spirit ; but when I at length arrived at the city upon the hill, I was as fiar from the solution of the matter as when I started. That the ferryman, himself, a simple coun tryman, should be concerned in any Prac tical joke upcin me, a mere fly-fishing ac queintenee of a couple of weeks' standing ; tor that such persons as the Courtettays should, have permitted the playing of it upon a guest at Cowles's, was only - less as tounding, than the perfecting of -the trick itself—if trick it reitlly was. But neither my feelings of anger, When I looked on the matter to that light, nor those of mystery, when I took the, mme supernatimil view of it, in anywise inter fered with the gradual growth of appetite and when I turned into a private meat of the Bisitiv's Head in the High Street., the leading idea in my mind, after all mi_eog itationt, was Breakfast. If seretrand4orty mysterious voices had informed me that the ferryman was waiting dun, I should have responded: "then let him wait'--at all events, till I eat my breakfast and sun dries." Although Exeter is a picturesque and venerable a city as any raven could desire to dwell In, it is not a lively town by any means, in a general wa. A saintly, sol emn spot, indeed; exce llently ad a pted for a sinner to pass his last days in thc he would probably find them among, m e longest in his life--and peculiarly adapted to that and in ifs very great - bent of (epis copal) clergy ; but for a hale young gen tleman of nineteen to find himself therein at nine o'clock on a fine summer morning, with nothing to do, and all the day to do it in, was an embarrassing circumstance. " Nothing going on, as usual, I suppose?" inquired 1, with a yawn at the water, when I had finished a vast refection. •' Going on sir 1 Yes sir. City very giy, indeed, Jury just now. Assizes, sir, now sit ting. Murder case—very interesting for a young gentleman like yourself, indeed, sir." " How do'you know what is interesting" retorted I,`with the indignation of tiobtilo dehbyhood at having its manhood called in question. " Young• gentleman, indeed ! 1 am a man sir. But what about this murder 1" Is the prisoner convicted ?" " Convicted, sir ? Nosh.; not yet, sir.— We hope he will be convicted this morning, sir. Its a very bad case, indeed, sir. A ourneyman carpenter, one Robert Moles, as been and murdered a toll-keeper— killed him in the dead of night, sir, with a 'atehet; and his wife's the witness against him." " That's very horrible," remarked I. " I didn't know a wife could give evidence." " No sir, not /us wife, sir; it's the toll keeper's wife, sir. She swears to this Moles, although it happened two months ago or more, sir. - Murder will out, they say ; and how true it is 1 VII be 'ung in front of the jail, sir, in a hopen place upon an 'ill, so as almost everybody will be able to see it, bless ye:" " I should like to hear the end of this trial—very much indeed, waiter." ." Should you, sit?" tbndling his chin.— •'lt couldn't be done sir—it couldn't be done sir—it could pot be done; the court is crowded into a mash already. To be sure- I'v,e got a—. But no, sir, it could not be done." " I suppose it's Merely a question of how much?" said I, taking out my purse.— "Didn't you say you had a —" " A cousin as is a javelin-man, yes sir.— Well, don't know but what it might be done, sir, if you'll just wait till I've cleared away. There, they're at it already l" While he spoke, a fanfaronde of trump ets without proclaimed that the judges were about to take their seats ; and In a few minutes the waiter and I were among the crowd. The javelin-man, turning out to be amenable to reason and to the ties of relationship, as well as not averse to a small pecuniary recompense, I soon found stand mg-room for myself in the court-house, where every seat had "been engaged for Sours before. -As I had been informed, the proceedings were all but concluded, save some unimportant indirect evidence, and the speech of the 'prisoner's counsel. This gentleman had Moen assigned to the so cused as counsel by the court, he had not provided himself with any advocate, nor "Ithnssistestke essee4thes eesenswal-wesiosesses his apprehension, it seemed, was this: that the toll-keeper's wile was mistaken in his identity, but that he had led a ttaxidering life of late, and could not produceany per son to prove an alibi ; that he was in Dor setshire when the murder was done, miles away from the scene of its commission ; but at what place on the particular day in ques tion—the sth of March—he could not re call to mind. This taken in connection with strong condemnatory evidence, it was clear, would go sadly against him with the jury, as a lame defence indeed ; although, as it struck me who had only gleaned this much from a bystander, nothing was-more natural than that a journeyman carpenter, who was not likely to have kept a diary, should' not recollect what place he had tramped through upon any particular date. Why, where had I myself been on the sth of March? thought 1. It took me several minutes to remember, and I only did so by recollecting that I had left Dorsetshire on the day following, partly in consequence of some alterations going on at home. Dor • - setshire, by the hy. did the prisoner say I Why, surely I had seen that. face before, which was now turned anxiously and hur riedly round the court, and now, as if ashamed of meeting so many eyes, con cealed in his tremulous hands ! Robert Molest So, I certainly never heard that name, and jet I began to watch the poor fellow with singular interest, begotten of the inerea.-tng conviction that he was not altogether a stranger to me. The evidence went on and concluded ; the counsel for the prisoner did his best, but his speech was, of necessity, an appeal to mercy rather than to justice. All that had been confided to him by his client was this : that the yoting man was a vagabond, who had deserted his parents, and ran away from his indentures, and was so far deser ving of little pity; that he had, however, only been victeus, and not criminal: as for the murder which he was now charged, the commission of such a hideous outrage had never entered his brain. " Did the lad look like a murderert Or did be not rather resemble the Prodigial Son, penitent for his misdeeds, indeed, but not weighed down by the blood of a fellow creature 1" All this was. powerful enough expressed, but it was not evidence, and the jury, with out retiring from their box, pronounced the young man "Guilty," and a silence reigned which seemed to corroborate the verdict. Then the judge put on the terrible black cap, and solemnly inquired for the last time whether Robert Moles had any reason to urge why sentence should not be passed upon him. _"My lord," replied the lad, in a singu larly low, soft voice, which recalled the ut terer to my recollection on the instant, "I am wholly innocent of the dreadful crime of which I am accused, although I confess I see in the doom that is about to be paw ed upon me a fit recompense for my wicked ness and disobedience. I was, however, until informed of it by the officer who took me into custody, as ignorant of this poor man's existence as of his death." "My lord," crid I, speaking with an en ew and distinctness that astonished my sell " this young man has spoken the truth, as I can testify. ' There was a tremendous sensation in the court at this announcement, and it was some minutes before I was allowed to take my place in the witness box. The counsel for the crown objected to my becoming evidence at that perkid of the proceedings at all, and threw himself into the legal ores don with all the indignation which he had previously exhibited karat the practice of midnight murder; but eventually the court overruled bird, and I.was sworn. I stated that did not know the prisoner by name, but . that I could swear to his identity. I described how, upon the Sth of March last, the local builder, being in want of hand* bad hired the son to waist in the construction of a bow window in the drawing-room of our house in Dce , - setshire.
