THE OLD GENTLED:Mit IVe were studded in the calm waters of the Baltic. Not a speck of land was in sight; and the sun, by this time almost level with the sea, rolled a tide of mellowed light along its bosom, from horizon to horizon. The idea of loneliness was complete. We were nut in the midst of an expanse limited inure ly by the powers of vision; beyond which the imagination may seek, and find, a thousand objects of relief. The edges of the circle, on the contrary,were even and•crtsp. There was no getting beyond them. The sensa tion at first was delicious; because new; but this gradually melted away into languor; the soft tones of the few remarks we interchang ed became down-right sleepy; and at length the young lady —(the other passengers, a n d all the crew had gone below)—starting sud- denly, let her parasol fall, with malice prt. pease, against my face. 'Caine,' said she, laughing at the jump with which I returned to consciousness, 'what are we about? I shall fancy in anoth er minuie that you and I are enchanted,and that we shall continue motionless on this crystal sea till doomsday!' 'That is just what 1 was thinking,' said !, soberly. 'Really! I should not have guessed that You were thinking at all. Come, let us tell stories to pass the time, and you shall tell the first. Begin.' 1 never could refuse a young lady in all my life. 'The first time I nay.the old gen tleman,' said I, commencing---" , What old gentleman?' 'What old gentleman! Why, the old gen. tleman 1 am going to tell you about, to be sure.

'Poor man!' said the young lady. 'ls that very uncommon in Scotland?' 'O, very! But at any rate the individual in question came back upon his father's hands a •stickit minister;' and showing speed ily that he was in the same degree a ‘stickit ploughman,' he was obliged to be satisfied with such jobs ofeducation as lie couldget j in the neighbourhood. Poor Willie! I think I see his lack a-daisicul face at this moment!' ) 1 he young lady jerked away her head, to let the look at the image beyond without in terruption, and 1 pursued my story. 'For many years the town of Auldclatters had been the Mecca of my imagination. It was the mart from which we drew our sup plies of grocery atAl haberdashery, and was associated, in my mind, with the cities of bazaars I read of in the Arabian Nights' Entertainments. I looked upon Saunders the packmau with interest,and almost rever ence, merely on account of his frequent jour neys to and from this distinguished spot; and I ut last began to think that there was some mystery connected with the extinguisher my father invariably put upon my request to ac company him to the annual fair. Still yout.g er boys, thought (,have visited Auldclatters, and why should I be condemned all my life to slumber, like Prince Bateman, on the mountain ofetones? You may conceive what were my feelings when, in the midst of this rebellious discontent, I was one day inform ed by my father that I was to go with him the following week to the annual fair at Auld clutters! Imagine the interval of expecta tion!—but ut length the day came, and we sat out. My futher,mounted on a stout nag'— 'Was your father the old gentleman?' in terrupted the young lady, suppressing a yawn. 'Not at all; we were just coming to him. My father rode before, with one or two far mers of the neighbourhood; and Willie and I followed, both of us careering on ragged shelties, so low that my preceptor's legs, if not held up by the stirrups, would have trail ed on the ground. After a hard ride of near ly eighteen miles, the town of Auldelatters came in sight. "T h e river Lora, n dark and rapid stream, was in front,sweeping round it like the ditch of a fortress. Beyond,t he building rose one over the other, till their heads seemed to pierce the sky. Those vast piles of archi• lecture in their aspect, which chilled my blood, and yet, at the same time, piqued me to the adventure. The approach to the town was by a bridge of only a single arch; but whose prodigious span, bestriding the! black torrent far below, presented a fitting avenue into what might have appeared a city of giants,' `Hey-day!' cried the young lady, opening her eyes, 'where ore we now, in the name of goodness? In the capital of the king of the Indies, or in a dirty, little, Scottish coup• try town?' •In the town of Auldclatters,' replied I qui etly, `as it appeared to the a quarter of a cen tury ago. A description, I admit, founded upon my present percept ionsovuuld be some what de:trent.. flowever,as we passed over the bridge, I . saw the old gentleman for the first time.' Wein' 'He was an old gentleman well on to seven ty years of age. Ile was dressed in a brown coat of an old gentlemanly cut, and wore a wig very handsomely powdered, and sur• mounted by a three•cornered hat, such as I had seen my grandfather wear on great oc• casions. His small•cloihes end stockings were of black silk, and his shoes were coy- cred, rather than lagtened, by an enormous pair of silver buckles• He was mounted on a horse of that colour,rather pale than white, by which you can tell that the animal in its youth was grey. 'When I saw this figure coming gradually into sight, as it rode slowly upone side of the steep arch of the bridge, while I was walk ing my sheltie up the other, it occurred to me, all on a sudden, that the old gentleman was the baillie of the town coming forth to meet us. This threw me ihto a flutter, for I had never seen so great a man as a baillie in my life; and so I edged my sheltie away to give the Old gentleman the crown of the causeway, keeiiing as near as possible to the long, ragged tail of my tutor's steed. 'lt was a grand sight to see ihe'old gentle. man come deism the steep arch, turning , neither to the right nor left, but walking his stately old horse straight on. He looked,in truth,like the master of the whole town; and had it not been for an expression of good humour and bonhomie in his face, my respect ; would have deepened into awe. When at length, as we were just passing each other, be turned his head suddenly and fixed his .eye on me, 1 thought, in my confusion,. I should have fallen from the saddle. He Smiled, however; nodded graciously—with . a kind of significance, too, as if we had been old acqtiaintances—and rode on. My eyes dazzled, my cheeks tingled; and I followed the tail of my tutor's sheltie, in a strange cPnfusion of mind, in:which surprise, vanity, and self.gratulation mingled with the shame and awkwardness of a hotne•brcd. scottish boy. Icrreaßl;ESS .111.4-70 W ha's you?' said I inn whisper to Willie, when the arch of the bridge was fairly be tween us and the object of my curiosity. 'You?' repeated he vacantly. Theduited !creature had not oven seen the old gentle• man! An application to my father was e qually unsuccessful; although the time that elapsed before 1 had an opportunity of speak ' mg to him rendered it somewhat less surpris ing that he had received no impression from so remarkable a figure. 1 questioned two • or three limners with whom 1 was acquain• ted; and ono answered that it was probably the minister—although, indeed, it could on no account be he without his black coat; and another, that he was quite sure it was Laird j Sheepshanks—at least lie swathl have said it was,lfilie I orse had been a brown gene. i way, the powdered wig his own grey hair, and the.cocked•hat a round beaver, in short I could obtain no information whatever res pecting the old gentleman. 1 went through the fair like a person inn dream; receiving only vague impressions of interest and gran deur, from the surrounding objects, and starting every now and then as 1 fancied that caught a glimpse of the three.cornered hat among the crowd. 'A II this, however,was nothing more than imagination., Had 1 been told that the old gentleman was actually Laird Sheepshanks, and that I had seen him on his way home, the thing would have been at an end. As was,he haunted ern, for months after—nay, for years, for nfter I returned borne from college, the mere sight of the bridge recall ed suddenly the images which seemed to have been buried for ever under the wreck of time, and the fair of Auldclatters swept like an enchanted pageant before my mind's eye--with the old gentleman in the midst.' 'And is that all?' asked the young lady sharply,as I paused to take breath —'is your story at an end?' 'So tar,' answered I, 'but the sequel is to 'Did 3'ou ever see the old gentleman again? Who did he turn out to be?' 'Why, lam just going to tell you. We do not relate stories in question and answer, like interrogatory lessons for,youth.' 'How then do you relate stories? Good ness gracious! will it never have an end? You have taken an hour to toll the that you once met an old gentleman, and could not learn his name.' 'lt was at your own option to listen or not,' said I, in some dudgeon: can tell you 1 nm thA a..very good hand at short stories; and, moreover, few persons suppose me to be capable of telling a long One, were I to try ever so such. However, if your opin ion be different—' W ill you tell me at once who the old gen tleman was?' 'lt is impossible.' 'Good evening,then,'—and the young holy flounced away, and decended to the cabin. CHAPTER 11. ,There is nothing so like enchantment as the gradual, yet surprising transformation of a calm evening into a calm night at sea. The last rave of the sun melt slowly away upon the bosom attie expanse, and leave a Putmisty shadow brooding over the deep. Put harcpy have we time to mark the change, when the comparative darkness around us becomes transparent. It is light • ed up with 'a more delicate and beautiful il• himination than that which has steeped the dying daylight in crimson and gold. Star after star comes forth from the profound of heaven ; and the hitherto veiled moon, throwing away fold after fold from her lus trous face, looks joyously around, in the sol itude of the sky—with the virgin freedom (as the poets have so often remarked,) of Dinn, in her own lonely haunts, surrounded by her attendant nymphs. On the present occasion, an interesting but very common variety took place in this charming scene. Although there was hardly a breath of wind below, the spirits of nature began to stir in upper air. A few light, fleecy clouds, stealing above the horizon, hurried glidingly across the sky ; and these were followed more slowly by some darker masses. The latter passed occasionally over the face of the moon; and the instsntaneons shadow, which swept down upon the world, was startling from the suddenness both of its approach and disap pearance. While watching these alters- Lions, my thoughts strayed on other locali ties, and other years, and 1 repeated in a low voice a stanza of poor Wilfred's ad dress to the pale pilgrim of the troubled , 'Tait queen! I will not blame thee now, As onco by Lora's fairy side, Each littlo cloud that dimmed thy brow Did then an anitel's beauty hide ; And of the'slade's I then could chide, Still are the thoughts to memory dear, For, while a•softer strain I tried, They hid my blush, end calmed my fear." .At this moment, a hand was laid gently upon my shoulder e and a Voice addressed tne, in tones 'as soft as lovers' lutes by • Did you aay Lora?

The intimacy continued till we were seventeen (for we were nearly of an age,) and at that epoch Hugh signalized his friendship by a proposal—which I can• nut smile at even now. He who treats it with ridicule is incapable of comprehending the feelings of generous, trusting, high hearted youth. ' Your father is comparatively poor,' said he. 'Granted: but then mine is rich. Why should you go to the West Indies, to toil and broil away the best years of your Ito in pursuit of fortune, and when you have attained it, come home as yellow and lusionless as a withered leaf?• What you must do, my dearest friend, is this.

' The dear, sensible creature I' exclaimed die young lady in delight. 'And you of course assented I' 'Of course.' 'That is something like a story!' and, gliding round, she seated herself so near me, that I was glad that there was nobody at hand tocriticise our position., ''Through the influence of my friend,' I continued, 'l. was invited to spend the next vacation at Gowanbrae ; and being now a groat, tall, gawky, shapeless follow, like other lads of seventeen, I was no longer set to straddle on a sheltie, but mounted in prodigious pomp upon my father's nag.

The enterprise was an important—nay, an awful one; and to me, afflicted as 1 was with a constitutional bashfulness, it increas ed in terrors every step I rode. Often 1 was on the point of turning back ; but as often 1 was goaded on by—what do you think I' 'Pride 7' 'No—love.' 'And you had never seen the lady 1' 'A thousand times—in my. mind's eye. 'Cho features which I had drawn, one by one, from my friend's memory, had been moulded in my imagination into a portrait of surpassing loveliness. This was the compassion of my waking hours, and the inspirer of my dreams. Do you call it a shadow—a phantom of the mind? When do we love any thing else? Is our mistress a mere piece of mortality, composed of bones and viscera, flesh and blood—subject to error and passion, to disease and death ? Is she not rather the spirit with which our idolatrous fancy endues the statue, and which melts away from our corporeal touch, leaving only lifeless stone in our arms? It was the idea of Miss Montgomery I loved. The love of her identical self ie quite anoth• er thing.' TO DE CONTINUED. A BRIDR AND Gnoon.—The N. Y.
