Numerous were their walks. Down in the yale where the sweet waters glid ing. In murmuring streams ripple through the dark grove. And sundry were the ejaculations of tho knight—'How beautiful!' though wheths er they were applied to scenery or his companion mutt still remaiu an open question. Some six months elapsed, and our scene now opens in the loveliest mouth of the year—warm, glowing, sun ny June. It was the eve of the Ist of June, and the knigjit and the 'fair ladye' were taking their accustomed walk. The moonlight lay bright upon the riv er, and the water trembled beneath it like ttmid lips beneatii the'ffrsf kiss. A nightingale began to sing in the valley, which had derived its. uamo from the inimitable songster, and another an* swerec] it from an adjacent grove. It was a night in which one not only loves, bat is beloyed, in which one not only longs for blessedness, but will be blessed The knight drew the 'laSye' closer to bis aide, and more compressed was the pressure on her delicately roanded arm as he pound his and unalterable love into jQfiSgiilling ear. His advances were not discmjtee'J, tor the happy pair returned unole, who doubtless the laiigaago of old stage comedy gentlemen, 'Take her, you dog, take her, though you don't de serve hsr. _• ' | (s .- oi • • ♦ *, """i* » *• Time rolled on; four time 3 had the seasons changed, but no change bad taken place in the relative positions- of Celia and fcer knight.

Whether Mr» was aware of the engagement''subsisting between Miss Colin and her knight, or wliotbfer bis at* fectiong ware ot a pKtoiiic rather Uian ar dent caste, is nncorUin 5 but, nevertlie less, when bis leave ot absence expired, he took leave ot tho damsel with all cons ceivable'coolnoss and unconcern, and deserted the charming Celia tor cajicoes and couuter-.jHcnping. Poor girl! the ehock to ber susceptible affections was insupportable. She pined and withered, walked about thu house with an absent; distracted, melancholy air, took t* singing doleful ditties, com mencing with 'Sweet Blighted Lily,'and, in short, was fast becoming a prey to 'a lean a;:d yellow melancholy.' In vain the assiduous knight, who I little suspected the oauso ot the fair one's misery, redoubled his attentions. In viin he'entreated her to put a J termina tion to his doubts and fears, aud ' crowh his happiness by becoming^Mrs. K No; tho image of he"r knight -was sup plautfed in tbe faithfnl heart by ber dear,'! her darling Jktr. D— ; and filially, when she becamo of age, she quietly sent a letter to the youug geutlemau at Mauchester, Avowing her predilection for him, and offering herself tor his ac" ceptance, 'for better or for worse,' as the case might be, As soon as the Man* Chester man received the letter he at once cut the calico trade, aud came as fast as the wings of love aud an express train conld bring him to threw himself at tho lad)'s faeti* Fortune was favour able. J " ' ~ The nnclo and guardian of tho lady were temporarily absent; and (we blush to says.it) the Cefin and her liueiisdraper lover unitoJ in llie indissoluble bonds of holy matrimony. Swiftly ptssed the houraand they awak ed from their 'dream of young love. Tho Manohester man explained to his sorrowing lady that circumstances com pelled him to return to that city, and that it would be highly inconvenient for him to lake her with him Just then. Wiping away ber tears with his snowy cambric handkerchief (a choice sample of a recent cousignmeut,) he besought her for a sborttime to keep their mar riage secret; and assuring her of fidelity to their pledged vows, said he should shortly return and claim her as his bride. Thfe> Mr. t>-r— re turned to his business; the deceived knight was still constant in his visits, and thus ends the second chapter of this eventful history. » » 0 * * • Two days only had passed since (he departure of Mr. D- , but in that brief interval the train had been laid to the mine which was to explode under the feet of the unsuspecting Celia, The uncle was in'ormod ot his ueice's secret marriage, and while she was walking i(\ the yalley wo have before spoken of, musing 011 ber absout hus band, and meditating what she should say to present her lover (for her knight accompanied her in her walk.) he was preparing to hurl anathemas 011 her bead on her return. The sun had sunk below the horizon, and the moon was shining ou the top of th3 trees, whon tuo pair beut their steps homeward. The hour, the scene, all concurred in reminding the knight of the day when bit lady-love first, blushing, owned she loved him, and again he passionately en treated her'to name 4 the day, the events ful daywhich should turn gloom iuto gladness, and make his heart leap with hilarious joy. Instead of informing him ot what had taken place, she owned his passion was returaed, and he accom panied ber to her residence, elate with bope at the imagined prospect of his des sire being gratified by the bestowal of ber hand and fortuno. Judge of his as tonishment, however, when, on arrive iug at the door, an outburst of fury on the part of the uncle too soon revealed tor bim the terrible truth. The revulsion or feeling was too great. -He was distracted; be tore bis hair; and; and with a wild gate on tbe transfixed i Celia, be rutted from the house.' Sleep was out of question, and, like Adaa, be still lingered around his lost paradise. Meantime our heroine bad to endure the reproaches of her incensed guardian who' neve* proceeded tolaersqnal violence; and ic the oi u&bt she packed up her worldly goods, not/orgeltingihe £1,000» determined on tbe first blush of. moru to. tw/ofi and away .' * She carried ber determination luto efr* feet, and 'at early dawn* left tbe bonso and proceeded-On her road to Bristol. She bad not taken mfcny steps when to her, surprise, she met (ho disconsolate knigbt who bad so hurriedly 'cut bis stick' tUb evening before, looking a perfect picture of woebegone wretchedness. vVho shall lathom the heart of woman I—her parti lity for him revived, she longed to con sole the wretched wanderer, and to hie frantic entreaty Slrc refilled, in accents sweet.

' What sliall we do?' murmured the unhappy girl. 'Cut and run,' suggested I hot- lover, though not, perhaps, in these very forcible words, Something indeed, he said about flying with him in a state of lelicity, declaring she could not think of doing such a thing, and, Anally, whispering, 'l'Uj uever consent' —coir settled. 1 o ■ ;,,ia They fled, carrying with them the £I,OOO sterling, and cthe dUpousolato luutband does not ktiew where to findtjeiihw. the fu|it!iVe lovers .Hie tainted: riches.'
