A dtileretice in their bumps.

And talk of men and things.
'l‘ho other took no papers. and
‘tr-Vliile iztroliiig throiitgli the wood,
A tree fell (l()Wl1’ll[)()ll his crown,
And killed him as it should.
Had he been reading ofthe “news,”
At home, like neighbor Jim,

Go then. and take the papers,

And in_'.' vvrird lieard it is itifcrrcd,

Divested of her pain:

A TALE OF LISCOMBE PARK.
In the summer of i833, in the little county
of lluntingdttn, and under the shade ufsome
noble elrns which form the pride of Lips
-:;otr.b2 Park, two young‘ inrn might have
been seeti recliniiig. The thick, and tower-
ing and fill‘ sprearling branches tinder u-hich
iltey lay, t’fli'Cl.!l[llly protected them frorii a
July sun, wliicli threw its scorching brillian-
cy over the-. ivhole landscape before them.--’
'l"nt-y seemed to enjoy in lhtf full that delight-
ful rt-tired openness which an English park
-ffords, and that easy eflbriless communion
tvliicli only old companionship can givr=.—
They were, in fact, fellow collr-glans. The
on--, R.t‘.;git‘l=lltl Dircy by name, was a ward
of Mt‘. Sheriwiotl, the wealtbv proprietor of
Lipsconibe Park 2 the othi-r,bisfriend,Charles
Grrlfiiih, was passing a few if iys with him
in this agreeable retreat. They had spent
tbe greater portion of the morning strolling
througli the Park, niakiug short journeys
from one clump of trees to another, and
traversingjiist so much oftlie open satiny
space which lay exposed to all the ‘bright
severity of noon,’ as gave fresh value to the
shade, and renewed the luxury of rr-pose.
ili at: it it
‘At all events,’ said Griffith, ‘give me leave
to say that I admire Miss Sherwood, and that
I shall think it :1 crying shame if so beauti-
ful and interesting a girl is suffered to fall
into the clutches of this stupid b-Monet who
is laying seige to her——this pompous, empty
he,..ded Sit‘ Frederic Bcaiirnantlc.’
Sir Frederic Bi-Etlllmilntlt‘, said Darcy.
with sortie remains of humor, may be all
you describe him, but he is very rich, and
mark me, he will win the lady. Old Sher-
wood S‘.lSpt’ClS him for a fool, but his exten-
sive estates are UnlnCUlllb9l’.P(l—¥-lie will ap-
prove his sttit. His daughter makes him a
con.<_l=1nt latigbing-stocli: she is perpetually
ridiculing his prr-suinption and his vanity;
but she will end by marrying the rich baron-
et. It will be. in the usual course oftliings;
Society will expect it; and it is so safe, so
pl‘l](,lt"[li, to do what society expects. Let
wt-alth wed with wealth. It is quite right.
I would never advise any man to marry ii
‘a
be indebted to her for his position in society.
It is useless to say or. feel, that her wealth
was not the object of your soil. But come.
our host is is punctual to his dinner hour,
and if we journey back at the same price. we
have traveled here, we shall not have mtich
little upon our hands. ,
And itccorrfingly the two friends set them-
selves in motion to return to the hotise.
Left an orphan at an early age, anti placed
by the will of his fiitlicr under the guardian-
sale by J A WEE”-
ship of Mr. Sherwood, Darcy had found in
woman miicii richer than himself, so as to‘,
the residence of" that gentletri-in a liotnr:
during the vacation wlii-ii a coll.-gian. Hav-
ing lately tzi..en his degree at Czitiibridge,
with high honors, for which he had been
stl‘€l'lt.tOuSi_V contested, and ptirchased by St:
verc labor, he was now recruiting his health
and eiij tying a Scene of well e irned leisure
under his guardi:in’s roof. As Mi‘. Sher-
wood \v..s old and gouty, and confined much
to his |'O0tl), it let on him to escort Emily
in but rides or walks. She Wl'l0tlt he had
known, and been so often delighted with, 2-:
his playinate, l]:‘l'.l grown into the young and
lovely ivoinan. l3t‘tcfly, our D.rcy was it
lost in in—-g()l]0——l1e;tl.l and lieait. But

After a few days it became evident to all

ken. He was a scholar, a reader and lover
of books, but lt‘l. the book be what it might
which he held in his hand, it was abandoned,
closed, pitched aside, the rnotitent she eritei'cd.
There was no stolen glance at the page lcfl
still open ; nor was the place kept marked
uy the tenacious finger and thumb. If her
voice was heard on the terrace, or in the
garden-—-if her laugh-—-so light, so merry,
and musical, i'e-aclied h s car, there was no
qustion or debate ivhether he should go or
stay, but down the stairs, or through the av-
enues of the garden he spi'ang—-he ran; only
a little before he came in sight he would as-
suiue something of the gravity becoming in
a senior wrangler, or try to look as
if he came by chance. His love was seen,
and not with indtffc-i'ence.—But what could
the damsel do? How prr-suzne to know of
an attachment until in due form certified
thereof! If a youth will adhere to an ob-
stinate siletice, what we repeat, can adanisel
do but leave him to his fate, and listen to
sortie other, who, if he loves less, at least
knows how to avow his love ?

We left the two friends proceeding to-
wards the mansion; we enter before them.
and introduce. our i't-ailers into the drawing-
rooin. Here, in a spacious and shaded ‘a-
partment. made cool, its well by_thc rnasstve
walls ofthe noble edifice as by the open and
protected windows, whose broad balcony was
blooming with the most beautiful and fra-
grant of plants sat Emily Sherwood. Atthe
same round table, which was covered with
Vases of flowers, was seated another young
lady. Miss Julia Dinvers, a friend who had
arrived in the course of the morning on a
visit to Lipscotribe Park. The young la-
dies seemed to have been in deep consulta-
tion.
Ican never thank you sufficietitly, said
Miss Danvers, for your kindness in this_af-
fair. ’
Itirlee-.'l but you can very soon 'thank me

pointment of physician extraordiriay to her

Oh certainly, said Miss Sherwood, you
may depend upon Sir Frederic Beaun-iaritle’s
promises; they will never fail; they are in
exliriustible.

Reginald, said Miss Sherwood, is always
forgiving Sir Frederic every fault but one.
La-t time he would pardon him every thing
except the fulsorne eulogy he is in the habit
of bestowing upon his friends even to their
faces. You must know, Mr. Griffith, that
Sir:-;l.*"rt-cleric is a most liberal chapman in
this coniinodity of praise: he will give any
man a bushel full of compliamctits who will
send him back the measure only half filled.
Nav, if there are but few cherries clinging
to the wickerwork he is not wholly dissatis-
fied. C
What he gives he knows is trash. Said
Darcy; what he receives he always flutters
himself to be true coin. Bill indeed Sit
Fl'Bf.lt'l'lC is somewhat riiore just in his deal-
ings tlian you perhaps imagine. _lf he be-
stows exressive laitdation on a friend in one
company, he takes it all back again in the
verv next he enters.
And s ill his inability shines through all ;
for he abuses the absent friend only to grati-
fy the self love of those who are present.
;,g,'l‘he door opened as Miss Sherwood gave
this couyz-de-grace to the character of the bar-
onet, and Sir Frederic Beauriiantle was an-
nounced, and immediately afterwards, Capt.
Garland. .

of Darcy, who was not aware that any such
intimacy subsisted between t.hern.i_ received
Capt. Garland with all the cordiality of an

Sir Frederic Beauriiaritle. The l'Ji2ll‘Ol’lL‘l,

triiizripriantly. The light voice of Emily

tunity to rally his cousin upcn lier sudden
attiicliinent to the captain, but his torigtte
absolutely refused the office. He could not
utter a word of l)'.ltll.t_’l' upon the subject. His’
heart. was too full.
0.; this occasion as they raturncd frotn
their walk through the pirk, there happen-
ed one of those incidents tvliicli have so often
at least in novels and story books, brought
about the happiness of lovers, but which in-
tilt-3 present instance served only to bring
into play the painful feelings of both parties.-
A prize fight had taken place in '..ie‘
iii-ighboihood, and one of the numerous vis-
itors of that truly noble exhibition, who, in-
order to do honor to the day, had dt:pi‘iVcd-
Srnitfifield inarliet of the light of his counte-
nmce, was returning across the park from
the scene of combat, accoiiipanicd by his
bull dog. The dog who doubtless knew
that his master was a trespasser, and consid-
ering it as the better policy to assume at once
the offensive, flew at the party whom he saw
approacliirig. Emily was a little iti advance‘.
Dircy rushed forward to plant himself be-
twceii this ferocious assailarit. He’ had no
weapon of defence of any kind, and, to say.
the truth, be bad at that mornerit, no idea of
deft-riditig himself, or any distinct notion
whatever of cotnbatting his antagonist. The
only i't.‘flt.’C'rlOlI that occurred to his mind was,
that it the animal satiaterl its fury upon him,
his coiripiiniori would be safe. As-trong leg,
and d stout boot might have done soniethirig ;7
Darcy Sl.00pillg‘~(l0\\.'l'l put the fleshy part of
ltlS own arm fairly into the bull dog’s jaws;

two persons at the same time, and that, if-
its teeth were buried in his own rirni, they‘
could not birengaged in‘ lacerating Emily
Sherwootlf It is the well known nature of
a bull dog to fasten where it once bites, and
the brute pinned Darcy to the ground, until
its owner, arriving on the spot, cxtricated
him’ from his very painful position.
In this encounter, our senior wrangler
probably showed birnself very unskillful"
and deficient in the combat with the wild
beasts, but no conduct could have displayed
«t more etigrossing anxiety for the fair com-'
p-anion. Most men would have becnytvilling.
