It was doubt less caused by one of those meteors which, the night watcher may so often observe burning out to waste in the racant regions of the atmosphere. So powerful was its radiance that it thor oughly illuminated the dense medium of cloud betwixt the sky and earth The ffreat rault brightened, like the dome of an immense lamp. It showed the famil iar scene of the street with the fistinct ness of midday, but also with the awfulness that is always imparted to familiar objects by an unaccustomed light. The wooden houses, with their juttin stones and qnaint gable peaks; the door steps and thresholds, with the early grass springing up about them; the ear den plots, black with freshly turned earth; the wheel track, little worn? and even in the market place, margined with greeu on either sido-aU were visible but with a singularity of aspect that seemed to give another moral interpre tation to the things of this world than T - . ccr 00016 before. And there that sounded, indeed, fifce human lan gTiAge, but was only such gibberish as children may be heard ainusing them selves with, by the hour together. At 11 events, if it Involved any secret in formation in regard to old RogeT Chil bngwoTth, it Was in a tongue unknown to the erudite clergyman, and did but mcrease the bewilderment of his mind. The elfish child then laughed aloud. "Dost thou mock me now?" said the minister. "Thou wast not bold!

Whom, but the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, half frozen to death, overwhelmed with shame, and standing where Hester Prynne had stood! Carried away by the grotesque horror of this picture, the minister, unawares, and to his own infinite alarm, burst into a great peal of laughter. It was imme diately responded to by a light, airy childish laugh, in which, with a thrill of the heart but he exquisite pam, or pleasure as acute he recognized the tones of little Pearl "Pearl! Little Pearl!" cried he after a moment's pause; then, suppressing his voice, "Hester! Hester Prynne! Are you there?" "Yes; it is Hester Prynne r she re plied, in a tone of surprise; and the min ister heard her footsteps approaching from the sidewalk along which she had been passing. "It is I and my little Pearl." "Whence come you. Hester?" asked the minister. "What sent you hither?" "I have been watching at a deathbed " answered Hester Prynne; "at Governor .Timurups aeatnoed, and have taken his measure for a robe, and am now going homeward to my dwelling." "Come up hither, Hester, thou and little Pearl," said the Reverend Mister wunmesaaie. "Ye have both been here before, but 1 was not with you. Come up hither once again, and we will stand all three together!" She silently ascended the steps and stood on the platform, holding little Pearl by the hand. The minister felt for the child's other hand and took it. The moment that he did so there came what seemed a tumultuous rush of new life, other life than his own, pouring like a torrent into his heart and hurry ing through all his Veins, as if the mother and the child were communi cating their vital warmth to his half torpid system.

Aha! see now how they trouble the brain these books! these books! Yon should studv less good sir. and take a little pastime or these night whimseys will grow upon you." "I will go home with you," said Mr. Dimmesdale. With a chill despondency, like one awaking all nerveless fr.in an ngly dream, he yieldetl hini.self to the physi- ; cian and was led away. j The next day, however, being the Sab- ' bath, he preached a discourse which was held to be the richest and most power ful and the most replete with heavenly influences that, had ever proceeded from his lips.

It was ! indeed a majestic idea, that tho destiny I of nations should be revealed in these awful hieroglyphics on the cope of ! heaven. A scroll so wide might not be ! deemed too expansive for Providence to I io.c rt peoples uoom upon. The belief was a favorite oue nth our forefathers as betokening that their infant common wealth was under a celestial guardian ship of peculiar intimacy and strictness But what shall we say when an individ- 1 C , .. y uiacuv ers a revelation, addressed to himself alone, on the same vast sheet of record? In such a case it conld only be the symptom of a highly disordered men tal state, when a man, rendered morbid ly self contemplative by long, intense and secret pain, had extended his e-o-tisin over the whole expanse of nature until tke firmament itself should appear no more than a fitting page for his souls history and fate! We impute it therefore solely to tho disease in his own eye and heart, that the minister, looking upward to the ze nith, beheld there the appearance of an uumcuao leLier ine letter A marked out in lines of dnll red light. Not but me meteor may have shown itself at that point, burning duskily through a veil of cloud, but with no such shape as his guilty imagination gave it, or, at least, with so little definiteness that an other's guilt might have seen another symbol in it. There was a singular circumstance that characterized Mr. Dimmesdale's psychological state at this moment. All the time that he gazed upward to the zenith he was nevertheless perfectly aware that little Pearl was jointing her finger toward old Roger Chilling-worth, who stood at no great distance from the scaffold. The minister appeared to see him with the same glance that discerned the miraculous letter. To his features, to a:i ow, objects, the meteoric light imparted a new ex pression; or it nie-ht wnll hn H,ot tU physician was not careful then, as nt all other times, to hide the malevolence witn wmcn he looked upon his ictim Certainly, if tho meteor kindled np the sky and disclosed the earth with an awfulness that admonished Hester Prynne and the clergyman of the day of judgment, then might Roger Chilling worth have, passed with them for the arch fiend, standing there with a smile and scowl to claim his own. So vivid was the Expression, or so intense the minister's perception of it, that it seemed still to remain painted on the aner rne meteor had vanished with an effect as if the street and all thmgs else were at once annihilated. "Who is that man, Hester?" gasped Mr. Dimmesdale, overcome with terror. "I shiver at him! Dost thou know the man? I hate him. Hester!" She remembered her oath and was silent. "I tell thee my soul shivers at him!" muttered the minister again. "Who is he? Who is he? Canst thou do nothing for me? I have a nameless horror of the man!" "Minister," said little Pearl, "I can tell thee who he is!" "Quickly, then, child!" said the min ister, bending his ear clos to her "iipa. "Quickly! and as low as thou canst whisper.", Pearl mumbled something into his ear. . ft i . l mans you. my good friend." said the minister gravely, but FfartUnl at heart, for so run fused was his remem brance that he had almost brough; him self to loo!; nt the events of "the past night as visionary. Y s, it seems to bo my glove, indeed:" "And, since satan saw fit to sleal it, your reverence must n-eds handle him without gloves henceforward," remarked the old sexton, grimly smiling. -But did your reverence hear of the portent that was seen List nig 'it? a great red letter in the sky the letter A, which we interpret to stand for Angel. ' For. as our good Governor Wimhrop was made an angel this past nigjit. it was doubt less held fit that there should be som notice thereof." "No," answered the minister, "1 had not heard of it." : said she; I umch."

HESTEi: AND THE PHYSICLvy. In her late singular interview with Mr. Dimmesdale, Hester Prymie wa& shocked at the condition to which sho found the clergymen redncett. His nerve seemed absolutely destroyed. His moral force was abx-ed into nioie than childish weakness. It groveled Leljv Jess on the ground even while hi., intel lectual faculties retained their pristine strength, or h;ul perhaps acquired a morbid energy which diae;iso onlv could hae given them. With her knowledge of a train of circumstances hidden from all others she could readily infer that, besides the legitimate action of his own' conscience, a terrible machinery had been brought to lear and was still opcr- ; ating on Mr. Dimmesdale's well bein" : and repose. Knowing what this poor, fallen man ; had once been, her whole soul was moved by the shuddering terror with which ho ! had appealed to her the outcast woman : for suuoort aiiainit his instinctively I discovered enem.v ..... 1U(Jie. over, that he had a right to her utmost aid. Little accustomed, in her long ! seclusion from society, to measure her ideas of right and wrong by uny stand- ! ard external to herself, Hester saw or ' seemed to see that there lav a respond- unity upon ner, in reference to the clergy- I man, which she owed to no other, nor tc i the whole world besides. The links that j united her to the rest of human kind links of flowers or silk or gold or what- i ever the material had all been broken. Hero was the iron link of mutual crime, which neither he nor she could break.' ! Like all other ties, it brought along with i it its obligations. I Now, however, her interview with the Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale, on the night of his vigil, had given her a new ! theme of reflection, and held up to her an ! object that anre,T.re(l wort Vi v rf nnr- o-r ertion and sacrifico for its attainment, i She had witnessed the intense misery beneath which the minister struggled, or, to speak more accurately, had ceased to struggle. She saw that he stood orj the1 verge of lunacy, if he had not already stepped across it. It was im possible to doubt, that whatever pain ful efficacy there might be in the secret sting of remorse, a deadlier venom had been infused into it by the hand that proffered relief. A secret enemy had been continually by his side, under the semblance of a friend and helper, and had availed himself of the opportunities thus afforded for tampering with the delicate spring of Mr. Dimmesdale'a "It lie.s U"t magistrates to tae off this Uidge " calmly replied Hester. "Were I worthy to be quit of it. it would fail awav .,f own nature, or (e tran f. .: n .'. 1 tomeimng mat stiou rent It is a WiHol'.rou- ad vai.ta. t a man in every pur-uit or av cation, to secure a;j advi-er in a -eiisible w. ni.ir; .
