Like tliec I start, like thee disorder'd fly ! a ! ' Collins. In a remojte district of country "belong-1 ng to Lord Cass i lis between Ayrshire 1 and Galiowajy.'about three hundred years ago, a moor I oi apparently boundless ex tent stretched several miles alonff the roarl and wearied the eye- of the traveller by the sameness and desolation of its appear ance; not 'a tree varied the pTospeet -riot a shrub enlivened the eye by its .freshness nor a native flower bloomed to adorn this ungenial soil,; One "lonesome desert" reached the horizon ori every sidet with nothing to mark that, any mortal Jbad vis itedthe scene before, except a few rtifie huts that were scattered near. its centre; and. a road or rather a pathway, for those whom buginess ' or necessity obliged to pass in hat direction. At length, deserted as this wild region had always been, it became still more .gloomy. Strange rumours a rose, that the path of unwary travellers had been beset on this- "blasted heath," and that. treachery and murder had inter- v,-f,v-u tue-ouiiwiv. iiiatiger as ne traver sed its dreary extent. rhen several per sons, who were known to have passed that way, mysteriously disappeared, the inquiries of their relatives led to a strict and anxious investigation ; but though the officers of justice were sent fo scour the country, and examine the inhabitants, not a trace could be obtained, of the persons in quetion, nor of any place' of conceal ment which could be a refuge for the law less or the desperate to horde in. Yet, as inquiry .became stricter, and the disap pcarance of individuals more' frequent, nit.- ?jjiii-pje iiiuaumtnis ot tne neignborino luuak t were agitated by the most fearful apprehensions. Some declared that the death-like stillness -of the night was often interrupted by sudden and perpetual cries oil more than mortal anguish, which seem ed to arise in the distance; and a shen n1 rd one evening, who had lost his way: the moor, declared he had approached on th ree mysterious no;ures, who seemed struggling against each other with suner- into the eavth. ' ' 1 ;'. Gradually the inhabitants deserted their dellings on the heath and settled in dis tant quarters, till ait length but one of the cottages continued to be inha&rttru byn old woman and her two sons, who loud- iy th lamented that poverty chained them to s solitary and mysterious spot. . 1 ra- i i r .1.1' 1 vefiers; who irequcnteu mis roaa now ge nerally did so in grbups to protect each other ; ' and if night overtook them,, they usually stopped at the humble cottage cf the' old woman and her sons, where clean liness compensated for the. want of luxu ry; And-where, over a blazing fire of peat, tne DOiaer .spirits smneu pi me liuagiuuiy n i t. ' ill .. -I1' terrors ot the- roaa, ana ine more umia trembled as they listenened.to the tales of terror and affright with which their hosts entertained them. . . -I ' One . gloomy and-tempekuous night in November, a pedlar boy hastily traversed the moor.' Terrified, to find himself in volved in darkness amidst its boundless wastes, a thousand frightful traditions, connected with this dreary scene, darted across his mindevery blast, as it swept in hollow gusts, over the heath, seemed to Iteem.vvith the sighs of depnrted spirits and the birds, as they winged their way ntbve his head, appearedJ With loud and shrill cries, to warn him of approaching danger. The whistle with which he usu ally beguiled his weary pilgrimage died awav into silence, and he firroned al finer with trembling and uncertain steps, which ! sounded too loudly in his eaTs: The pro' m se of scripture occurred to his memorv. and revived nis courage Tl will be unto thee as. a rock in the desett, and as an hi dihg place in the storm," Surely, thought h,' though alone, I am not forsaken ; and m prayct for assistance hovered on his lips. '- '!- ;- ; f ' A light now glimmered in the, distance vrliich would lead him, he conjectured, to th ? cottage of the old woman ; and towards th it he eagerly bent his way, jemember ing'hs he hastened along, that when he ha(d visited it the year before, it was in com pany with a large party of travellers who hdbeguiied the evening with those tales of mystery which had so lately filled his brain ;with images of 'terror. He recol lected, too," how anxiously! the old woman and faei sois ; had endeaybred toMetain him when the other travellers were de- artiner; and now, therefore, he Conpdent- x anticipated a coraiai ana cneenng re: ception. . fiis nrst can ior tmmission op- med no visible, marks pi attention,- put instantly the greatest noise and confusion prevailed within the cmtageC ' ?They think it is one of the supernatural visitants of whom the old lady talks so much thought the. lidvpToju&ing' a ivmdow,t whejre tBeMight itnjn ltbw:ium. idl'ilieioj haMtantsTatWerEse old woman aslhasdlyi?scrubinff ihe stone, f!a Strewn with sand, JfmW her wo sons seemed wcqual lriste to.hVthhistingsometllulg . r. : - it. .s-SJZi ual ; . --.--i-r -: l irtTfTP anu iiKiiv v iiilu. nu. jiuuu;uat;.vu&o i i pcuat the window, when thev all instant' kf J UP wtn consternation so strong lv oepictecitjn their countenances, that he shrank back involuntarily with an unde linea feeling of apprehension ; but before nq had time to reflect a moment lunp;er. one ot the men suddenly darted out at the coor, and seizing the boy roughly. by the Shoulder, drae-ffed him vmlntlTr into t hf cottage.

Not a person exists who would assist me in distress, or shed a single .tear if I died this very night." "TAcn youar; welcome;' said one of the men with a sneer, while (he cast;a glance of peculiar expression at the other inhabitants of the cottage," It was with a shiver of apprehension, ra ther than of cold, that the bo y 'drew towards the fire, and the,looks which the old wo man arid her sons exchanged, made hirn wish, that he had preferred .the shelter J of any- one ot the -.roofless cottages which were scattered neari rather than trust himself among persons of such dubious aspect Dreadful surmises flitted across his brain; and terrors .which he could neither combat nor examine impercepti bly stole into'; his mind; but alone, abd beyond the reach of assistance, he resol ved to smother his suspicions, or. at least not Increase the danger by revealing them'.-- The room to which he retired for tjie night had a confused and desolate as-J poet; the curtains seemed to have been violently torn down fromithe bed; and still hung in tatters around it-r-thc table seemed to have been broken by some vi olent concussion, artd . the fragments of various pieces of furniture lay scattereid upon the floor. The boy begged that k light might burn in his apanmenttill he was asleep, and anxiously examined the fastenings of the door ; but they seemed to have been wrenched asunder on some former occasion, 'and were still left rusty and broken. ! . . . but at length his senses began to "steep themselves in forffetfulness." though his imagination remained, painfully active, and presented new scenes of terror to his mind, with all the" vividness of reality. T He fancied hiurself again wandering on the heath, which appeared to be peopled with spectres who all beckoned to him not to enter the cottage, and ! as he ap'- proached it, they vanished "rvith a hollow and despairing cry. .The scene .then changed, and he found himself again sea-1 ted by the-iire, where " the countenances of the nfe-ri cowled upon him with the most terrifying malignity, and he thought the old woman suddenly seized him by the arms, and pinioned them te his side Suddenly the hoy was startled f rom. these agitated .slumbers, by what. sounded to him like a cry of distress; he- was broad awake in a moment, and sat. up in bed, "iut the noise was not repeated, and he endeavored to persuade hirnself it haq only ieen-a. continuation of the fearful images whicli had disturbed his rest; when, on glancing af the door, he obser ved underneath, it a broad red-stream of blood silently stealing its course along the floor.

With one cry to Heaven for assistance, he con tinued prostrate bn the earth; bkedinrr' and nearly insensible. The hoarse voices of the raen, and the still louder baying of the dog, jwere now so near, that instant destruction seemed inevitable,! ready he felt himself in .their fangs, and the bloody knife -of the assassin appeared to of affright0 that seemed verging towards madness,! he rushed 'forward so rapidly that terror seemed to" have given wings to his feet.
