It 13 cot uecdf-.il that we name the village whither w-? a-o going, t.-Il its origio, antiqui ty, population, or describe its appearance at the present day. At the corner wh:re two streets intersected each other stood the dwelling to which we now call attention. We will suppose it was built iu the Id stjlc, somewhat darkened by time, and rather gloomy in general appear ance, aud that the sitting-room was so situat- e 1 that the front t'ie streets, aud the was towards one of side towards the other street. It was at the close of a cold January day. There was a cheerful fire blazin? unon the I o I j hearth, thtt scut forth its ongeuial warmth j de.-pito the shrill pipings of the wintry wind Iwiibuut. A-young lady was seated near the window. She held a book in her hand, and . though her eyes were directed towards the pjges, it was evident that she saw not a line ot what wes before her. She was quite young but her exact age we are not able to tell, for our inforinaut forgit to euligten us on that esut j.'ct, she wa3 probably somewhere between esgatem and twenty. She was very pretty, and was neat and tastefully dressed. It was eay to perciove "that she had been weeping profusely; for her eyes locked red and swoll en, and on her knees lay a wet pocket-hand-kerchivf. She was startled from the reverie intD which she hai relapsed by the sound of a horse s ttct m rap;d motion. A "sudden blush salfusjd the checks of Lllen. She looked in to the street ind saw a voun? man ride bv the window, preceded by a small terrier dog; vwe speak of the latter for reasons which the sequel will snow, lne horseman entered the yard, fastened his steed, and Elec soon heard his footsteps upon the threshhold "O, Ed ward, why have you come!" she ex claimed, as the door was thrown open, and a comely, thougo- carcwarn young man, came ia without ceremony. Do you reproach me, also he replied sadly, though s unewbat proudly. Heaven forbid, Edward. I spoke only on your account. You know the danger you incur by coming 'hither, and you know how hopeless are our mutual wishes. Do not blame mo " "What is danger, since-life can no longer bo precious to me !' Hope, Edward, hope.' But why should I hope? Your father still If, then, you wait for his consent, we shall never bo wed. I feel as sure of it as if an angel bad told me.' " 'But I dare not disobey him; I am under a solemn promise.' Then we must indeed part forever. Ellen averted her head and sobbed audi- 'The period may arrive when you may regret this step," replied Edward sorrow fully. . . . rePr tbo necessity that bias up part as deeply as you can possibly do. and as trulv as it is possible for any human creature to re gret any unfortunate event.

Come to IPS when- a jear has passed, perhaps some chants in my father's views may have taken place said Ellen. . -So shall it be,' he answered. 'I swear, if living or dead, I will visit you. May heaven record my oath !' ' - f ' '-- It is enough I shall expect you.' t ' "One- year . from this night you may expect me, though I break from the em brace of death itself to perform my solemn promise.' At that pomont the door was thrown 'violently open Ellen uttere2' a piereeiDg cry ana famted;- for It vras - her father th t came." " T "! .... It was now dark night. A storm of snow was falling, and the wiad howling fierce lj. 'Begone, sir, and never darken my door again with your shadow!, cried the father of Ellen, at the same time dealing him a heavy blow upon the face. . The youn man recoiled under the cruel rebuff, and his face crimsoned with iodigna tion. He raised his hand to s'rikc the old man, but a suppressed cry from Ellen instant ly arrested his purpose. 'One year from now a nd the grave can not hold me,' said Edward, turnicgonce more to Kilen, who bad partially revived. 'Re member, Ellen ! With these words the young man walked out into the cold January storm, casting one reproachful, indignant glance upon the brutal aggressor. A year passed, and Ellen during that in terval heard nothing of Edward D He had suddenly disappeared, aud no on knew the secret of his absence. Whether he had gone to visit foreign countries, whether he had sojourned in his own, whether the grave had swalowed him up, no oce could tell.' As for Ellen, she still continued faithful and hopeful. She felt confident that be would come according to his promise. During the year bad elapsed, she had refused many eli gible offers, and her father bad failed to shake her constancy . " ' '.''" xkc J v.. ow J"'"" v.uiw The storm fell faster, and the wind howled: I more savagely than a year ago. The wood was piled high upon the hearth, and all was warm aud comfortable within. Ellen sat pre cisely where she reader first saw her. She was looking into the street whereshe had seen Edward approaching at the tiine of their" meeting.. Hour after hour passed and he cam not The family had retired, and she was the sole watcher in the house. . . ' 'He cannot come ou such a dreadful night as thl", thought Ellen. 'No huoian being would be so imprudent as to leave the fireside to brave such a freezing storm.' It was iu vaiu that sbo said to herself. I will retire I wiil .wait no longer,' she was fasciated, chained to the spot by some strange and mysterious influence. The clock stiuck ten eleven, and still the fair watcher sat by the window, recalling full oft the words of her lover : 'A year from this night, and I will visit you, living or dead, and the grave connot hold me It grow colder and colder. The wind rav ed more furiously, and th- icy sleet drove a-H gam.st the window panes in rattling showers. Suddenly the wind was hushed, and the storm paused in its career. It was quarter before twelve. The street in front of the dwelling was lighted up until the individual snow flukes were visible. All at once, following the strange illumination, reflected dirrctlj in to the middle of the street, was the shadow of the. terrier dog close upon the shadow came the terrier, upon a hard run, with his tongue hanging from bis mouth, asifspeut with ex ertion. In au instant after the terrier made his appearance, came the most " wonderful of all a dark looking horseman, mounted upon a large black steed, with dilated nostrils, dis- tented jaws, aud streaming sides. He seem ed to tread upon the air. There was no hea vy tiauip no vibration of the earth no tracts in the snow to tell that the phantom horseman had passed. The darkness closed in again the wind howled, and the snow burst forth again with redoubled fury. The ensuing night found the sad watcher at tho window, waiting for the re appearance of the phenomenon. She did not wait in vain. Again camo the same supernal light i again came the shadow of the terrier, and then. the terrier, and then dashed madly by the phantom rider upon his pan torn steed pausing not. a moment in his wild career ; turning not his head to the right. nor the left casting no furtive glance towards the awe stricken beholder. On went the solemn spectre, and the dark ness shut in again but there was no tract upon the new fallen snow, and no sign that living man had rtiden there. Alas ! for Ellen. She knew that her lov er was no more, and that from the world of dead he had redeemed his promise. The story goes, that she and others watch ed nighc after eight and night after night came the mysterious rider. And thus he came for- many years, at a quarter before midnight, in fair weather or in foul in rain, snow, storm, darkness and moonlight. ' The changes of seasons, and the changes of temperature, and incidental inclemencies, wrought no change in him Ellen s father always grew pale when the phantom horseman was mentioned, and stern ly forbade them to refer to the subject ; but tho whole affair soon became public property. and hundreds came to watch the nightly visit of the pantom rider, and none failed to geo him at the uraal brar, and in the orcal or der the terrier invariably - preceding bim, following bis own shadow. At length, afler many years on the anni versary 'of the , January night, the pantom came without the horse. The terrier walked slowly before him, and he followed at a pace measured. and solemn. Tils hat was slouched over his eyes.' and his head was bent upon his breast bnt Ellen knew it was Edward. She tried to speak, but her tongue refused to arti culate." " ";" ' On the following night Ellen awaited his. appearance with a firm determination to speak and know the object of his continued visit but wbu. he came ber courage failed. In- jteadVf keeping straight forward as on other occasidui, tb. spectre crossed the street, and stoevi t.f moment beside tho fence near the windowVr4 looking sorrowfully at Ellen; called her'name three times distinctly Par alizcd with fear, she was unable to reply, and the phantom walked slowly away, and came no more. Long was the phantom Lorseman talked of. The person we have called Ellen is living at this day, and will cot hesitate, we have rea son to beliove, to confirm what we have writ ten in regard to the mysterious rider. She still remains single. Y. 1 1 w.l.. it win oe renumnerca that toerc were many witnesses of this most curious phenom enon. Edward was never heard of his fate has ever remained a profound mystery, even to his nearest friends Probably these strange occurences will be explained at the day when all human affairs shall be adjusted by the Great Arbiter of all terrestrial things ; until then must remain un solved the mystery of the "Phantom Horse man." . r ' PRIDE AKD PRIXCIPLC . I was returning home after an absence of eight years, returning to the home of my child hood. The lumbering. coach that bore rue rapidly along, was already entering the vil lage where I was born, where I had the first important principles of an education, where I supported many a happy childhood's hour and where I had first learned to love. Yesto love the prettiest, merriest, and proudest maiden in alUbe village ' not wise ly, but too well.' She rejected my suit she had higher aspirations. It was true, she liked me very well it might be, loved me I was cot rich, and she was proud and haugh ty. as well as beaatiful. Yet she was indeed kind aud charitable, she did not reject my of fer disdainfully, but seemed to studdy some method by. which her irrevocable reply might gIve"mo"no"'pain . " 1 " " I did not question her motives. I knew them too well, and then and there I resolved, that if health should be spared me, I would depart at once from my native village,-- and some day return a wealthy man uot again to urge my 6uit, not even to claim her as a friend or acquintance, unless it should be her desire, for I too bad a proud spirtt, and could never condescend to plead with a woman. All these thoughts passed rapidly through my mind, as I neared my father's cottage; and I rejoiced to think that, in part, my pur pose had been accomplished I was rich- rich even beyond the fastidious rcquistitioc9 of Isabel Hayne, richer than her father had ever been, Aud yet my stern resolve had seen no change.' . I met my father, now silver-haired with age. My mother had been lying in her nar- rbwj sclent Jraoae for nearly two years. My sister, my only si-ter, whom I fondly hoped to meet was tnarrfed7ad had gone to a dis tant place to dweTf - The spirit of chaoge had breathed upon every dear and familiar object The houses, the fences, were raulderin away. I met the companion of my youth, who welcomed me back with smiles which seemed the distorted mockery of the smiles that lit up their happy faces in my bojhood's days. They were growing old. 1 et some seemed apparently no older than when I had seen them eight years before. I did not meet Miss Hayne, nor did I even inquire about her. She had probably gone away, or what was quite as probable, her fa thor might have become so wealthy that she no longer moved iu the village society. Per haps she was married, and was living in some other place. What was she to me that I should spend a thought in speculation as to the cause of her insensibility? And yet I could not efface her image from my mind. If ever' in dfstant lands'' I had succeeded in my mind efforts to banish her from my mem ory, I could not do so now. The associations of home and familiar scenes brought back the recollections of happy days and her name, her form, just as she appeared to mo then, was iodispensibly necessary to complete the picture which faney painted me There was a social gathering of friend's but she was not there. Why should I look so anxiously about, hoping and yet fearing to encounter hor beautiful face? Why could I not forget her at once and forever. Some one mentioned her name. "Why Was she not there?"' "She docs not go now since their misfor tune " What a pity! Poor Hayae! They say that she supports him by teaching a female school." - - "Yes, sheis engaged in the district just beyond the village. It will be a very severe and humUiatiag lesson to her; she was very proudA I must confess I was interested, and desir ed to know more, much more, but I asked no questions. I could not forget the past. Not log after this I learned that the Hay'e estate, which had passed into the hands of some Eastern speculator, was again for sale, I purchased it, having no definite purpose in view, unless' it was the thought that it would make a comfortable residence for my father in bis declining years, since hia own cottage was fast going to deeay. I at once set about repairing tha large maniioa oo to Hayne farm, for that too had felt the mouldering touch of time, and for that purpose I frequent ly drove out to watch and direct the opera tions of the laborers. I -was one day driving leasurly alon g when I espied at some d tstance before me an old man, bent with age and gronping his tedious way along the road. Fresen Uy be sat down by the road side to rest, and when I came up 1 offered him a seat in the bujrgy. "Never mind," said he. "It is only m lit tle way that I have to go, just to yonder hill top. I o there sometimes when the days are pleasant like this, to meet my daughter and accompany her home from school. She a a is teaching, you know." I disregarded his refusal of my offer, and sprung out of the carriage, extending him my hand to-' assist hhn to a" seat, aa ' thowgh:!- thought it was a matter of course that be would ride. 'Well, well, since you wish it, I wil go with you There are not many that are kind to the old man now. I am not where I was 6ix years ago I was a rich man then very rich but speculation did the mischief. See yonder " house, just bevocd tho school, it was mine; -Ah! it was a happy home, but i can never be mine again." And thus' he babbled oa, for the infirmi ties of age, prematurely induced by his mis fortunes, had rendered him garrulous. He was indeed changed for among all I had seen since my return home, not one had grown so old as be. lie did not recognize me; and as I drove slowly along, very slowly for he said many things that were interesting to me I learned more of the circumstances, and of the sacrifices, concessions, effort, and fil ial affection of his daughter Isabel the name affected me, "I will confess it, more than I had previously ascertained. 1 bad olten passed the school house, as it was directly on my way to the farm, but had never caught sight of the fair teacher As wo now approached. I observe 1 the scholars rushing from the door of the school room, and before we drove np, she herself emerged and stood before us. "Ah, Isabel, this kind gentleman urged me to ride in his carriage, and I want you to thank bim in my behalf, because you don't know how it ha rested trie." If I bad remained unrecognized by the fa ther, . I could not escape the penetrating glance of the daughter. Her quickly chang ing color indicated at once that she knew, or at least suspected, who I was. I turned ar ound my carriage, sprung out, and offered to assist her in saying: "Permit me. Miss Hayne your fa'her is fatigued, and I will drive you to your home, I shall have ample time to attend to my other business aftt r wards " She stammered some excuse. I insisted up on her riding, and bad the satisfaction of see ing her yield. For a moment I gave myself up to the hap py memories of the past. I was again beside the only being I had ever loved. I felt the rustle of her dress against my hand, aud not withstanding my exterior coolness and asum ed formality, I could not suppress the tumult within. Isa'oel was a little changed, bat changed for thwbetter. The hauty belle had become the beautiful Madonna.' She was pensiva, sad. Bat little was said during the home ward drive, except that which was uttered by the talkative old gentleman. Isabel said nothing What a strange meeting. Had I been entire stranger, as Mr. Havre supposed j me," it cduld scarcely have been different. Shd did' indeed smile when I lifted her from thejjuggy. then lisped, "Thank you, I then blushed, then paled again. Mr. Hayne cor dially iuvited me to revisit their humble cot tage, and solicited the honor of knowing who I was. "Is it possible"' he exclaimed, "this isour old friend Temple's eon, and returned rich, too, they say. God grant you may make good use of your money. But be warned by an old man. and make no rash ventures Here. Isabel, daughter! Did you know this gentleman? Thh is Harry Temple Tou surely have not forgotten hira. "I scarcely recognized bim," she replied, somewhat confused, as she returned from the cottage, to bad her invalid father into the house. "I hope we shall have the pleasure of seeing you here again Mr. Temple." It was the same sweet voice as of old, tem pered by charity, humility, and affliction; and softened by the influence of religion and filial affection. I pondered well the circumstances. Should I yield to the yearnings of my heart? Should I again offer my hand, perhaps to be repulsed? Perhaps she would not, a second time, reject my offer. I was now rich, and she poor. It would be no sacrifice of principle on my part to offer to wed the poor school-teacher, al though I had determined never to renew my suit with the wealthy heiress. It might have been destiny that decided her to reject my offer; for bad she not done so, I never would have left home and friends to wander in for eign climes in pursuit of wealth. I might at this very day have been grovelling in abject poverty I would have been utterly unable to restore the old man and his daughter to their old homestead as I now fondly hoped to do. Yes. indeed, pride was cosqiered, and the principle which never had been quite extin guished within me, but against which I bad battled with all my might for eight years, at length triamphed. I visited their cottage repeatedly, and as sured myself that the ohange in Isabel char acter, disposition and manner, was deep and radical.. She do longer had high aspiration her only thought was the comfort of her do ting father. '.At length I offered my hand again, and this time 1 had no scruples about urging my suit, since matters oc-upifd quite a different positioa frcci that of fcrmr y ars. I cannot tell you how happy I was when I preesd her to tny boaast, and knew that the losva acr in iier pride, and desired to mke her my wife. much more I loved b-r now in Lcr humility.
