‘thought the time opportune; I was accord-

by my father, with an outfit.
'l‘o-.v;ir«ls the close ofa sultry day. in
latter end of June, '36, I found myself fiur
days journey from my f:ttbct"s house, as my
carriage pursued its slowand toilsomeasct--nt

A single horseman, having a yotirig female
on invztli-.l, iuotiutcd on a pillion behind, was
slowly proceeding along the wild and rocky

of evt»-rtiug were rapidly settling ttpon the

distinct view, the landlord, judging frotn
their appearance, concluded they were incu-

to announce that be was full, and that they
could not be entertained
‘But,’ said the man, ‘we are all fatigued
worn out, and unable to proceed fttl'Il)t-‘I.’
‘It can’t be helped.’ intcrpostl the landlord
‘you have alrcatly bccn told we are ftill.’
Ht-.".‘l the stranger, as if to awaken the sympa-

‘Hence the necessity of yotir improving
the time; it is late, and four miles to the next
Inn; you httd better be prosecuting your

‘If your beds are occupied, if you will
permit us, sir we will gladly l't‘p0St3 in the

‘I wish no further iinportuuity, fellow I’

The sixth day after my departure from
hoofe, I left Bedford, in the interior of this
State, with the tleterrnination, if possible, to
reach Somerset, on what is called the Glades
road, the same night.
I had proceeded btit a few miles on the
Glades l‘0‘.-t(l, until Iht’. pleasing reverie in
which I had indulged while musing upon
the beauties of surioiiriding SCt’l'lt‘l'_V, was
broken by a lotid shrill scream. apparently
but a small distance in advance of. my car-
riagc ; the scream was instantly succeeded
by a low stifled groan, as of one in the last
tigonics ofdeath by violencc. Next mo-nent
asuspicious looking individual hurried across
the road imnit-tliately in front of my horse
with agitated look and quickened step. He
was soon lost to my anxious view in the
tlepihscf the dark, and almost impenetrable
forest. I ordered my postillion to stop, as
my suspicions that a most fotil and bloody
deed had been perpetrated, were excited I0
the utmost pitch. As I sprang from my
carriage a rustling in the scar and ftillcn
leaves attracted my attention to it lttltnd_n
form, buta few paccs from the road side, in
the attitude of one rising from the earth ; he
was upon his hands and knees, and strug-
uling to gain an erect position; his efforts
being fruitless, I hustenctl to his relit-f——zi
vcalcd itself to my view. Iimpoituncd him
to compose himself as much as possible.

‘IVt-ll, young mart, you are evidently in-

such things, (‘ntTitI‘tOf1 OL‘t‘tJl‘l'€'tlC€SZ verily,

‘But, sir,’ said I. ‘what think you of the
sayitig of Solomon ? that ' He that oppres-
seth the poor to increase his riches. and he
that givcth to the rich, shall surely come to
want.’
‘Oh !’ he added. ‘by obs: rving that such
was the way of the world. I did not mean to
justify the ways oftlie world. S-ulotnon saith
lllOl‘t-‘t‘lV€l', that ‘He that opprcsscth the poor

appr-iitl:ige will be severely felt by the widow.
But such I am sorry to repeat, is ‘I/zc way of

“.Vell, sir, said I, ‘I set out upon this tour

It was night and being fatigued, I retired
to rest. A sleep deep and protracted fell
upon my scnsesancl left me no other evidence
of existence, than those which Fancy made
front the visions ofthc night. I dreamed I
had been visited b_v the angel of Death and
was translated to the abode ofthe faithful. I
saw around me a paradise, similar to the
proiuist=.d retreat ofthe righteous. I gazed
in ittdt'SCt‘lbaI~.le wonder, far, far as mv eve
cotild reach, I beheld all that the most.elzib-
oratc fancy could paint or desire. \Vhile I
stood lost in the coiitcniplatibn ofthis beanie-
ous . SCU18. I was suddenly startled by
beating my own name in sweet and gentle
accents, repeatedly called. On turning
round. I beheld near meto all appearance a
it-male young and beautiful, fair as the hou-
rics of ;\labomet's elysium. I was welcomed
by the same, in sweet and tender accents to
this new abode-, and with great courtesy, who
off? ml to conduct me to the throne of the
s.)vei'r-igii.
Enrapturcrl with the beauties of the place,
[followed the footsteps of my guide with
prompt obedience, who led me to a magnifi-
cent strutzturc. ‘in which art and the fichgs
of tvorlds had apparently united their pow-
ers to finish its splendid decorations. Upon
this beautiful structure Sill. one ‘Fair as the
moon, clear as the stin, and terrible as an
nruty with bzitiners.’ The front of this
tnrttchless structure was composed of one
greiit mental mirror, which re-flt-ctetl the
spirittial condition of every one who ap.
prorichcd the throne.
‘Lift up your heads, 0 yo gates,’ cried a,
voicc, ‘and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting
doors 1”’ I looked, and lo, the portals of
licziven wcre open and there stood ti female
:trl':Zt_Vt‘d in filthy rags, and trembling, for the
glaiice was awful, and I he:-irda voice saying
unto the woman in rags, "come thou blessed
‘I matlt’ n purcltnsc a day or two since of
of my fatf.itt’l‘, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you 1’
And behold it was the poor woman I had
seen in the store at Snnicrsct. As she ap-
proached the throne, her eye fell upon the
grcat mirror, and a beautiful smile plaved
upon her Ifetnqllll features, her rags were
chungvd into a robe ofthe purest white, and
:1 Crown was given her, and she borea palm
in her hand, and cried with a loud voice.

Again I liearrl it loud voice, crying, ‘lift

yr‘ C‘Vt?l‘l‘c1.-Iltlg doors?’ and I looked, and
beheld a man in costly array, his garments
tlazzlerl with gems of fine-st cut, his manner
bctokened self confidence and dignity. As the
gates of the city, such of which was compo-
sed ofa single gem ofchalcedony, were tin-
his view; his countenance became distorted,
he <__rnasbi-d his teeth most hideously, he
walled aloud. and bitterly lamented his hard
lot. He turned his back to the accusinrr
m.rror, and was about to flee from this (ti:
him) place of torment, when a voice as of a
trumpet 6XCIZlll'llt‘(l, ‘I was an hung:-ed. and
ye gave me no rue-at-—-thirsty and we gave me
no drink-— naked, and ye clothed trio not,’ and
the man as he fled, turning hall round, cast
=t bctviltleiw-d glance beliind him, and gasped.
‘When Lord .7’ And he that sat upon
the throne, sttltl, ‘Inasmuch as ve did it not
tinto this poor woman. ye did it hot unto me.’
It was the store-keeper, who with the same,
breath denied it few pennies to the poor, and
gave costly gifts to the rich, to such as needed
It not.
And behold there was silence in heaven for
the space of ten minutes, and I wondered
that it was so, and inquired of my guide, who
informed me in agitating tones that ii tavern
keeper was knocking at the gates ofthe city
for admittance, that in consequence all héav.

in silence, that the king might me moved to
compassion, and in mercy hurl the tavern
keeper from the gates of bliss to the abyss of
woe, tvithout a glimpse of the great mirror,
that he shotild not be shocked with it sightof
his murdered victims, that his miserv should
not be enhanced by the acctisinglooik of the
litindreds of widows and orphans whom he
had rendered homeless, and that he should
be_ permitted to depart without further igno.

claimed,
‘I was a stranger, and ye took me not in.’
‘VVhen Lord .7’ inquired the astonished
tavern kecper.
‘Inasmuch as ye did it not , unto these,‘
said the king. poiriling to the two strangers
wliom the tavern keeper (our host) had turn-
ed away, ‘ye did it not tinto me.’
And the man trembled and sh riekcd, ‘hide

‘Dept: rt from me ye cursed I’ said thg
king, and the man shrunk from his presence,
with a wild scream succeeded by a groan,
