Aa to the old log school we went,"
My heart was Tull of pride, .
To think that Anna would consent
To have me at her side.
And while in search of flowers, afar
She wandered to and fro, '
The dew-drops glistened in her hair .
Full forty years ago. "
When I some twenty years did see,
And Anna six and ten,
I thought how happy we would be,
If we were wedded then.
I oft resolved, and often rued,
But still resolved again :
For gentle Anna's hand I suedj
Nor did I sue in vain.
Strong passion roused, for feeling slept,
" Dear George t can't say no j"
She fell into my arms and wept
Full forty yeara ago.
I clasped her to my aching breast,
As joyfully I cried ;
Above all mortals I am blessed,
With Anna for my bride.
But O, alas t hard was my doom,
And bitter was my wo,
Dear Anna sunk into the tomb,
Full forty years ago.
Tho three score years have trenched my
brow, ' ,

Each eve beneath yon oak, I bow,

;i Know it. "
At seventeen vears of ace. I was more
of a roan than I have ever been since. I
wore -a long-tailed coat and boots (to
which the appurtenance of spurs was
generally added), a moustache was quite
visible on my upper lip, and consciousness
of ripe maturity never left my mind. 'I
was studying for the legal profession, but
at the tune of which I write, 1 was spend
ing my summer vacation at my father's
house in the country. , .
Though so manly (almost soldier-like,
as I fancied), in my appearance, my inner
was by no means as stem as my outer
man. I loved my mother with childish
tenderness, and sooner than pain her
Eious heart, I unmurmingly accompanied
er every Sunday to the village church to
listen to long sermons of which I could
not hear a word, for the tremulous ac
cents of the very aged minister who con
ducted tho services, were so faint as to
be inaudible whero I Bat. Though in
cited by love and duty to subject myself to
thi3 weekly-ptfhunce (well deserved by
my weekly sins), my conscience yet did
not prevent me irom wniimg away my
time by such amusements as lay at hand
that, namely, of observing and specu
lating on the countenances of my neigh
bors, an occupation of which I was fond
The physiognomy which interested me
more than nil the others, was that of a
young girl who eat not fur from ns, and
who was accompanied by an aged woman,
probably her grandmother the object of
her ever watchful are. This girl's face,
from first eliciting my careless admira
tion, gradually absorbed my whole atten
tion. It was very beautiful, but apart
from that it possessed the greatest possi
ble interest for me. Never had I seen
a countenance which denoted
sensibility; each emotion of her mind
was plainly written upon it by its quick,
delicate changes; nothing was wanting
but the key of a corresponding degree of
sensibility in me oenoiaer, to rea4 her in -
nocent soul like an open book.
Sometimes, by chance, the fair
object
of my busy fancies would catch my eye,
or without looking at me, seem to know
or feel thnt I was cazin? at her, and I
wickedly delighted in noticing the blush
which deepened on her cheek till I with

truly say it was tho one problem, which
throughout the tenn gave me the. most
thought. - . . .
Another year felapsed ere I returned,
and again sat in. the village church. My
home, personal appearance, was some
what altered. I still wore my moustache,
it is true, but my coat-tails were not or
did not spom quit no long, and I left off
my spurs.
My mother and I were seated in our
pew, and I impatiently waited for the ar
rival of my lovely enigma. I tried to
Erepnre myself for disappointment. 'I
ave been thinking .and dreaming about
an ideal," I said to myself, "doubtless
when the young lady appears, all my
imaginings will vanish, there can be no
doubt my fancy has been playing tricks
with me, investing a mere country maid
with transcendent graces and charms."
While I was reasoning thus with myself,
the young lady appeared, leading her old
relative with tender care. ;
Worshipping an "ideal," indeed! my
most charming remembrances did not be-
gin 10 ao lusuco to mc Deautntu reality,
A soul full of tfindrnps nnfl .onsiKiliiv
seemed to have found a fittinc: home in a
person and face of perfect loveliness and
grace,
She blushed, when, looking around, ehe
chanced to see me, and again thelayful
expression on her features, which bad so
J "Her name,", my mother said, "is
Grace Denny, and she is the lorliest
the most superior youns woman I have
ever in my whole life met. It is too soon
to think of such things yet, she con
tinued, smilinJ'but some years hence it
would make rrfi aappy to see my dear son
married to jusHuch a woman."
"Not quite so fast, mother," said I,
laughing away -a little embarrassment,
which I was most anxious to conceal.
I found that Grace had become a con
stant visitor at my mother's, and I did not
fail to improve the opportunity of be
coming acquainted with her.
. She was indeed a gifted creature, en
dowed with all "nature's best." She
sang, she danced, she conversed with an
indescribable grace peculiar to herself.
Though generally thoughtful and earnest
in her manner, she had a vein of quiet
humor, and her strokes of playful drollery
charmed all the more from being unex
pected. But more alluri to me than
all her gifts and accomplishments, was
the shrinking sensibility depicted on every
feature of her sweet face. I soon found
myself deeply painfully interested in
her. I say painfully, for Grace received
my nssiduous attentions with a perfect
coolness and unconcern that gave me great
uneasiness. Sometimes I thought she re
mcmbercd my early impertinence and
was auiK)sed to punish me. But there
was a rival, a cousin of Grace's, who al
ways stood in my way, and from whom
Grace received, as a matter of course,
numberless little attentions which I dared
nut even offer. I hated this man : I was
insutferably jealoiw, but tJrace eemfrdt,WvA.n dinner nmoiinced '

strsjTjo and unsatisfactory answer tor
mcnled me I perceived in her reptHition
of the same words her remembrance of
the time she had used them before, and
this dien was tho just punishment for my
oflense. I tortured myself by bringing
the scene again and again to memory.

time; ; I would I had possessed the wit to

i I -determined to Ins wiser when I saw
her again to discover beyond a doubt, if

when .1 saw, by Grace's dear changing

and wounded.
Wrhen this foolery was carried to its
height, I perceived Grace suddenly rise
and step through the open window out on
the piazza. In a few minutes I followed
her. '. She had retired to a littlw dixtnnr
from the window and stood with her head
leaning against the railing, weeping.
Stealing softly behind her, 1 passed my
arm nround her and whispered :
"Ah, dearest Grace, do not deny it!

Tower. V His imprisonment was jlot strict
ly- legal ; but ha at first acciitod with
thanks and blessings the protection which
those dark wals, made famous by so
many crimes and sorrows, afforded him
against tho fury of the multitude. Soon,
however, he became sensible that his life
was still in imminent peril. ; -
For a lime he flattered himself with
th? hope-that a writ ef - habeas corp us
would liberate him from his confinement,
and that he shoidd be able to steal away
to some foreign country, and to hide him
self with part of his ill-gotten wealth from
the detestation of mankind j but, I'll the'
ffovernment was settled, there whs no
court cumprtcnrttT- a w-iit if kahra$
corpu ; and as soon as tho government 1
had been settled, the hubeat corptt act
was suspended. Whether the legal guilt
of murder could be brought home to Jeff
reys may bo doubted. But ho was moral
ly guilty of so many murders, that if there
had been no other way of reaching his
life, a retrospective Act of Attainder
would have been clamorously demanded
by the wholo nation. A disposition to
triumph over the fallen has never been
one of the besetting sins of Englishmen ;
but tho hatred of which Jeffreys was the
object was without a parallel in our his
tory, and partook but too . largely of the
savngencss of his own nature. "' '

Duke street, and . read on the door with
shouts of luughter the-bills- which -announced
the sale of his property. Even
the delicate women, who had tears for
highwaymen and housebreakers, breathed
nothing but vengeance against him. The
lampoons on him . which were hawked
about the town were distinguished by nn
atrocity rare t-ven in those days. Hang
ing would bo too mild a death for him ;
a grave under tho gibbet t"o respectable
a resting place ; he ought to be whipped
to death at the cart's tail ; he.ought to be
tortured like an Indian; ho ought to be
devoured alive. .
The street poets portioned out all his
joints with cannibal ferocity,, and com
puted how many pound of steak might
be cut from lug wcll-faUened carcas.
Nov, the rage of his enemies was such
that in language seldom heard in Eng
land they proclaimed their wih that he
might go to the place of wailing and
gnashing of teeth, to the worm thut never
dies, to the fire that is never quenched.
They exhorted him to hang lumself in
his garters, and to cut his throat with a
razor. They put up horrible . prayers
that he might not bo able to repent, thnt
he might, die : tho same hard-hearted,
wicked Jeffreys that he had lived. His
