Deeds whether this arose altogether from a desiro
of learning is matter of doubt and in this
dubitation our readers will most probably
be inclined to join, after perusing what fol

It was a olear and pleasant ovening in
summer, when Mary Tod left tho door of
her father's comfortnblo straw-thatched
dwelling, and directed her steps to the side
of a little stream of the Manor. She was
neatly dressed, in apparel of her own spin
ning and though it was evidently not her
holiday suit, yet everything was arrauged
with Mich care aa betokened some purpose
in her mind of appearing to the best advan
tage where she was fioing. As she tripped
lightly along the hnnk of the stream, her
comely face and handsome form made hdp
appear like the rural genius of the place.—
Jury's thoughts, however, were filled en
tirely with objects of a sublunary and moral
character: and though she was pretty enough
Jr the deity of the stream to fall in love
with her, as used to be the case with streams
the days of Homor, she would njt, we be
lieve, have brokfen the irytte which she had
made with an earthly lover for the" flowing
tresses of Neptune himself. After a walk
of some length, Mary turnod into a little
glen which sent its tribute of waters to the
Manor, aml cMting «n anxious

A solitar* mountain Mb, or as
she herself would have called it, a rowan
tree. Here she did not sit long alone, though
quite long enough for the slightest pout im
aginable to gather on her pretty lip, before
she was joined by the person for whom she
waited. This was a slender but well-knit
young man, dressed in the usual attire cf a
peasant, but seeming,
from his fine, intelect
ual face, as if that were not his proper hab
iting.
"Do you keep a* Jour sweethearts wait

V' said Mary, atarting
to ner feet when her lover came forward.—
"They would need to like you well, else they
wadna tryste to meet you a sccond time."
"And so you do like me well, Mary," said
the routh, slipping, with a verv inefficient
repulse, his arm ronnd the maiden's waist
"at least you should do it, Mary, for you
know how'tTuly, how deeply 1 lore you.''
"It does not seem sae, Edward," replied
the miller's daughter, not yet, altogether
pleased, or probably indulging a little in that
strange, peculiarity of lovers which leads
them, in the abscnce of any great cause of
offence, to make the most of any little one
that occurs, for the mere ploasufo of asking
or being asked forgiveness.
In the present instance, however, when
Mary's lover informed her that his delay
was caascd principally by it slight illness of
his mother, all the pouting disappeared at
once, and the pair, restored to the confiding
tone which marked their feelings with re-
spect to cach other, began to speak of their

(lis drawn sword upon the hunter, for, to do
Elliot jjastice, be was afraid of no single
man. The sword of the hunter was a short
one, but in the two minutes' contest which
ensued, the outlaw found that he had to do
with a master of fence. One of Elliot's fol
lowers, who had heard the call, came up at
the moment, and the stranger, who saw him
approaching, almost gave up his life as lost.
In order to defend himself to the lust, he
changed his position so far as to get his hack
to one of the strong copse bushes. Scarcely
had the outlaw's follower interposed a sin
gle blow, when a strong arm leveled him to
the earth from behind with cudgel. The out
law turned half round at the unforseen stroke
which deprived him of his assistant, and, on
seeing whence the aid came, bounded into
tho copse from which he had issued, and
was out of sight in an instant. The hunter,
whose blood was heated with the encounter,
would have pursued him, but his preserver
detained him almost by force. "It wad be
madness, sir, to pursue him. I ken him,
as will as this man lying senseless at our
feet, in Rpite o' their disguises. They are
a part o' a gang, and their companions will
