The oracle of the beautiful sequestered little
hainlet of Ambermead, was un oldlgentleman
of unobtrusive and orderly habits, whose pe
culiar taciturnity had obtained for him the
familiar cognomen of Two Words. Mr.
Canute, alias Two Words, dwelt on the out
skirts of the village, attended by an ancient
housekeeper, almost as chary of speech as
her worthy master. It Was surmised that Mr.
Canute had seen better days,; but though his
means were straightened, his heart was largo,
•.,
and his countenance expressed great benevo
lence. Notwithstanding the brief mode of
speech which characterized him on all occa
sions, the advice of Mr. Canuto was eagerly
sought on every subject wherein it was pre
sumed advice could be piofitable ; and the
simple rustics of 'Abermead perhaps valued it
the more, because though, delivered without a
particle of pomposity, the terseness and de
cision of the words expended, leftmn indeli
ble impression, which long sermons often
failed to convey. Mr. Canute lived on terms
of intimacy'with the family at the Ilall'—an
intimacy cemented by early associations,
fur Mr. Harwell and Mr. Canute had been
school-fellows ; and Nvhen a painful and ling
. eritig.llluess attacked the.squire, hie ,nucient
friendNwzd crony felt deep ' anxiety as to the
ultimate iitto„of Mr. Harwell's only-child,-the
good and loverk-qaT a Harwell. The disease
was an incurable though the sufferilt
might be protracted, flier was no hope of ul
timate recovery, and an air gloom reigned
over the village of Abermead, w e once the
sweet spring and summer tide brdu t only
sport and glee.- Ambermead .was noted a
profusion of rich red roses, exhaling delicious
fragrance ; and for the song of innumerable
nightingales, whose harmonious concerts re
sounded amid the umbrageous groves, shelter
ing the hamlet on every side, and extending
,beyond thd old'Hall of Ambermead. But now
although the roses bloomed and the birds
sang, serious faces looked from the cottage
doors ; an I while the younger villagers forgot
their usual pastimes, the elders conversed
; apart in whispers, always directing their
glances towards the ball, as if' the . sufferer
within those thick walls could be disturbed by
their conversation. ;This sympathy was called
forth, not 'only by the circumstances of Mr;
Harwell being their ancestral landlord, the
last of an impoverished race, but from his
always having lived among them as a friend
and.neighbor —respected as a superior, and
beloved as an,equal. Their knowledge also
of the squire's decayed fortunes . ; and that,
on his death, the fine :old place must become
the property of a stranger, whom rumor did
not report favorably of-greatly enhanced the
concern of these hereditary cultivators of the
soil ; and many bright eyes grew dim think
ing of poor Miss Clara, who would so soon bo
fatherless, and almost penniless. The estate
of Abermead was spiony entailed in the male
line; and the next heir was of distant kin to
the Harwells. A combination of Misfortunes,
and:no doubt of imPrudence in years long by
gone had reduced the present proprietor to
the verge:of ruin, from which be was to find
refuge only in the grave. The Harwell fami
ly had lived for centuries in Ambermead.—
They seemed so much to 'belong to their poor
neighliors, who always sympathized most ful
ly in all the :- Joys and sorrows of the "Hall
folk," that now, when- there was a certain
prospc - Of oflbsing — thenr foilN . 7er as it seemed,
the parting became more than a common ono
between landlord . and tenant, between rich
and po)r—it was the parting of endeared
friends.
MIME 2/
They waited and watched for Mr. Canute
passing to and fro, as ho did every day, and
more than once a day and on his two words
they hung, as if life or death were involved
in that short bulletin. •
"How is the squire to-day ?" said one
"No better," replied Mr. Canute mildly,
without stopping.
"And how's Miss Clara ?" inquired another
with deep pity in his looks.
"Very patient," responded the old man, still
moving slowly on with the aid Of his stout
staff.
"Patient !" repented sev',eral voices when
ho was out of hearing. - "ires, yes, patieht
enough ; and Master Centric means a deal
when he says patient. ' Bless he'r young sweet
face! there's•pationce in it if ever there was
in mortal's.
Mr. Canute was sorely taxed by question
ing at all, hours ; ho Was waylaid first by one,
then by another, on his way from his own CU
tage to the Hall, but with unfailing good na
ture and promptitude:he invariably satisfied
the alfeotionato solicitude of hishumble neigh
bors--in this own quaint way, corlainly—nov
or Wasting words, yet perfectly understood.
The.summer-tide was waning into autumn,
and tip Squire of Ambermead faded more
gradually than autumn leaves, when late one
. evening a way-ftifer stopped at Mr. Panuto's
cottage, which was on the roadside, and re:
quested pOrmission to rest, , asking for n
draught of water from the well before the
porch.
' , Most welcome," said Two Words scanning
the stranger and pleased with his appearance,
for youth and an agreeable countenance are
sure passports ; perhaps. too, Mr. Canute
'discerned gentle breeding in hie guest, despite
travel-soiled habiliments, end a dash of habit
ual recklessness in his air. At any rate, the
welcome was heartily given, 'and as heartily
responded to : and , when Air.. Canute left his.
dwelling, la order to'pay • his Usual evening
Visit, at the Ilall; ho merely said, addresaing
hie yoUng visitor : i.Soon heel: ;" " and turning
to Martha, the careful
. houini-keeper, added:

threshold, second thoughts urged 're
turn to the_ young Man, "Don't go."
"No,:thWl won't." replied ho, frankly, "foi.
I liko my quarters too well. nr wait till you
come heft, governor ; and I hope you won't
. belong, formy mouth waters, for the supper
you spoke of." • .
Mr. Canute smiled,' and walked away more
IYritikly than usual;' and-ifuir 'sitting for soma

plied in the same strain : '.Pine scenery ;"
on which the host added : "An Artist ?" when
the youffi, laughing outright, said : "An indif
ferent ono, indeed." After n pause, , and suf
fering-his -mirth-tc: subsido; continuedi
"Are you always.so economical in words sir ?
Don't you sometimes find it difficult to onrry
on conversation in this strain ?"
- .You don't,"roplied Mr. Conute atoning ) ,and
imperturbably/good-natured.
'Not I, cried the youth; and I want to ask
you half a hundred questions. Will • you an
swer me I"
"I'll try," replied Mr. Canute.
"I've not long to stay, for I'm on a walking
tour with a Vinci ; but I died to Amber
mead as I was anxious to see it. I've - hat)
curiosity, to see it fort a long while ; bu s t my
friend is•-waiting for me at the market-town,
eight miles off, I think, and I shall strike
across the country when the moon is up, if
you'll give me a rest till then."
"Most welcome," said Mr. Canute:courte
ously. .
"Ali ha l" quoth the stranger; ..if that's
the way you pursue your discourse, I don't
think ive shall learn much from you. I hope
however; that' I may get a wife who will follow
your example—a woman of two words, in
sho . rt ; she'll be a rare sEeeimen of her sex !"
"Ali ha I" ejaculated Mr. Canute.
"But come, tell me, for time presses," said
the young man, suddenly becoming grave—
"tell me all about,Ambermend, and the squire
—how long he's likely to Inst. For, in fact,
the friend I mentioned, who is with mo during
this walking tour, is vastly interested in nll
that concerns thn place and property."
, ``The heir 1" whispdimd Mr. Canute myste-
riously
" Well, I suppose we say he is ; he's not
altogether a ha( ellow, though he is c:nsid
ered a bit reckless nd wild. - But has
heard of Clara Ilarivell's beauty and goodness
from his cousin, rady (site's Clara's
cousin, too, you know ;) and he i eally quite
sorry to think that such a lovely .eature'
,should be turned of the old
,llall to n ko
'room for him.- - lie wants to know what wil
become of her when old Harwell dies, for all
the world knows he's ruined. It's a pretty
place this Ambermead—a paradise, I should
say. I know what I'd do, if I was ever lucky
enough to call it mine." The youth rubbed
his hands gleefully.' " I should be a happy
dog then
"And then ?" said Mr. Canute smiling.
"Why, thee, I'd pull dawn the rioketty old
house up there, ' and build a palace fit for a
prince;, keep nothing but the good nine ;
I'd have lots of prime fellows to stay with
me; end I should sport the finest hordes and
dogs in the country." The speaker-.paused,
out of breath.
"And then ?" said Mr. Canute quietly.
" Why, then, I'd hunt, end shoot, end ride,
"and drink, and smoke, and donee, end keep
open house, and enjoy life to the full—feasting
from year's end to year's and—the feast of
reason and flow of eoul, yoh know, in old Am
hermetic] !"
" And then ?"
" Why, then, I suppose that in time I should
grow old, like other people,, and 'cense to care
for all these things, so such ns I did when
strength and youth were mine."
" And then V' said Mr Canute more slowly.
4 , Why, then "—and the stranger hesitated
—"then, 1 suppose, like other people, in the
course of nature,Vshould hive to leave 'all
the pleasures of this life, and, like other peo
ple,—die."
"And then ?" saki Mr. Canute, fixing his
eyes, glittering like diamonds, on the young
man's face, which flushed up, as ho exclaimed
with some irritntion—
"Oh, hang your and then's !' But the
moon is well, up, I see, so I'dt off. Good_
night, and thank you." And, withoui further
parley, ho started off on his walk over the
hills; and Mr. Canute silently watched hi,
.guest's retreating figure, tilt im the deep shad
ows of the surrounding groves, he was lout to
view. In the moonlight, in the darkness, in
the valley, and on the hillside, these words
haunted the wayfarer, and ho "kept repeating
to himself, " And then?" Thoughts took
possession of his mind that never before had
gained entrance there, or. at least they ar
ranged themselves in a sequence which gave
them quite n new significance. His past life.
preectited itself to him for the first time as a
coherent chain of evants,, exemplifying cause
and effect ; and if his plans for the future did
not at that, moment receive any determinate
change, ho still kept repeating anxiously and
inquiringly, as ho wandered.on in the moon
light,....tbe two strangely' auggeslive words, .
And then ?" It proved a long and toilsome
night's journey for that belated traveller; for
be bad left Mr. Canute's cottego'tsp hastily
that he had ommittedlo ask for certain lend
marks on the hills leading to the place whither
be was bound. In consequence, the stars
faded in the sky, and the rosy morn broke
through the eastern mists, ere the weary man
from the_summit of a 'high bill which he had
tortuously ascended, beheld afar off, down in
the"valley, tho shining river, the bridge, and
'the church tower of the town where his friend
in same anxiety, atv,aited ; Ms.re-appearance. .
During all his after life, that young man
neVcr forgot the solitary night walk whicrr ho.
lotit his way beneath n' beautiful spangled .
summer sky ; the stars seemed , to form the

For nearly Hiroo years after Mr. Harwell's

new proprietor, was soon expected* take
possession of his property in due forty; more
over, that he t was on the _point of Marriage,
and thal his y'oting bride would annOmpany
him. 11l reports fly qUickly : and it iiittl been
oiretilated in former times that Mr. Selby 'was
wild and extravagant, careless of others, sel
fish and profligate. Indeed, Mr. Callum had
not contradicted such reports, so thpt it was
generally opined that they were too true, and
had a legal foundation. With heavy ;hearts,
the inhabitants of Amhermead commenced
their rural preparations for the iec4tion of
the squire andhis bride ; green arches were
erected, Mid wreaths- of flowers wereliting-on .
the spreading' branches lbeneath which the
traveller's road lay. It was the season`Afres
-es and nightingales, when Ambermead was in
itstglory-; and never had the nice Fr ed roses
!doomed no profusely, and never hedthecho.,
rus of tlio groves been more Tulliiiid4riehant- 7 ,;
ing, than on the summer evening when theUld
and young of the hamlet, arrayed Initheir
holiday attiro,waited to greet the new-comers.
Mr. Canute stood at his -cottage door; the
bridge justleyond, over 'which the rout con•
dieted to the Hall through avenues of •:gveen
erie, was feaboned with roses ; and, a *lnd
of maidens in white lined the picturesque ap
proach. The sun was setting • when a car
riage drove quickly up, slackening its pace,as
it crossed - the 'bridge, 'and stopping 'at Mr.
Canute's humble gate. Two Words' himself,
bareheaded, on seeing a lady -alight,, viinixt
another moment threw herself inlci his arms,.
exclaiming: "Our first greeting must be from,
you, dear, dear Mr. Canute ! - I need not in-•
troduce Mr. Selby—ho is known to you al
ready.", Speechless from astonishment• and
emotion, the Old man could only say, "Miss
Clara !"- -as he gazed frOm one to the.other,
°cognizing in the gentleman the wayfaring
t,
,k,,e,t
gue who had .departed-so abruptly on his
welkin xpedition over the moonlight. hills,
more than roe years previously. ;Seizing
the hand p•hie I Ir. Canute silently extended
Mr. Selby said 'wit i cep feeling :--, ~,,
"It is to your instra entality- that I 'owe
my present happiness."
"How so ?" was Mr. Canute
ing with pleased surprise into their,
which on a former occabion, had won hi 7
fidenco'ancl admiration
"Two Words spoken in season wrought a
change in me, which all the preaching of
friends and guardians had failed to effect," re-,
turned Mr. Selby, "and without which Clara
would never have blessed me with her hand.
These years of probation have proved my sin
cerity ; and Lady l'onsonby (a severe and

The prognostication roved correct ; and

her way to the ancestral home where she was
born, was indeed emblematical of the flowery
path which marked her, future destiny.

Tho facility of reference thus afforded, was
further,incrlased by the introduction of the
present system of, verses ; this was 'done ibt't

principal English versions are !hose of "Ring

Sion,) and the "Downy" or Roman Catholic.
The former was translated from- the Hebrew
and Greek, in the reign of James 1., A. 1;0.
