Afterwards he digressed into the story of the miracle of five thousand being fed with five loaves of bread, &c. he then told them that they were not such loaves as those used now-a-days, but were as big as mountains; at which the tar uttered with a loud voice-"Twang !". "What,' says the Quaker, "dost thou think I lie, friend?"—"No," says Jack, "but I am thinking how big the ovens were that baked them."

(CONTINUED.) claimed Eugene, traversing the room hastily; but she looks good, she looks like an angel! Madebeine looked at him, and sighed deeply. But how has it been MADELEINE, cried he, do possible, Madeleine, that you tell me who So! exclaim should not have mentioned her to me, what prevented you? Honor, principle: was I, the dependant on your father's bounty, to expose his only child to the danger of forming an improper attachment? Improper attachment? exclaimed Eugene. Yes: had my young friend rank and fortune equal to her virtues, I should have gloried in seeing you united to her; but as it is, her very name is an eternal bar to your union : and Her name a bar? why, who is she? For pi ed she, sinking back on her pillow, you need not go on: I know what you would say; you have seen her, and all my precautions have been vain! And why should I not see her? cried Eugene, seizing her hand why did you wish to prevent me from seeing her? why wish to deprive me of so much happiness? Happiness! did you say? cried Madeleine-there, go-leave me, and come hither no more. Madeleine, replied he, you shock and terrify me! what do you mean?-Forty's sake trifle with my impabid me your house! forbid it me, too, when Yes, exclaimed she, when you have found out tience no longer!what is her name? Constantia d'Anglade. Constantia d'Anglade! reitterated Eugene. What, that poor unfortunate orphan, over whose fate I have so often wept--the daughter of that unhappy husband, and that unhappy wife, so cruelly in my opinion, and so unjustly sondemned! Unjustly condemned cried Madeleine, with a scream of joy, and do you then believe them innocent? I do; nay, I always did, though my father was ever against them. Oh, my dear constantia, said Madeleine, shedding tears as she spoke-how happy would you be to know that there is one human being in the world, besides the poor Madeleine, who thinks your revered parents injured and inno: cent! "Then tell her directly ;pray do, Madeleine :--and you may also tell her, that I am convinced, one day or other, the innocence of her parents will be made manifest to the world." "My dear good child, it is the hope of that alone that has supported her under her trials." "But tell me all you know of her; pray do." Madeleine, in her delight at finding Eugene a friend to the injured d'Anglades, forgot all her caution, and related to hint the misery of Constantia ; when, at the age of fifteen, she found herself an indigent orphan, with a name publicly disgraced, with scarcely any friend in the world, and with no resources but her own industry. But she had energy, she had virtue, she had piety," cried Mad eleine;" and remembering that I had been the friend of her mother, in the days of our joint prosperity, and had written kindly to her in her advers it ies, she came to my house, and conjured me to take her in my protection, and let her board with me, while she maintained herself by embroidery, and other sort of work, assisted by the niggard by bounty of a distant relation. I folded her fondly to my bosom, and told her I would be her friend; but I also told her, that I dared not allow her to live under the same roof with me, because I knew that my protector, the president des Essars, had been so convinced of her parents guilt that he would be angry if I received their daughter as my companion. Besides, I had another objection to this arrangement: I looked at her, young, beautiful, innocent, and unfortunate, and I thought of you, Eugene." "Well, well; go on-you were only too prudent." he exclaimed. And Madeleine continued: Constantia was at length decided that she should have a small lodging, which I recommended to her, and only visit me every evening." "And does she visit you only in an evening?" "No--she hates to be seen; she dreads observa |
