The gale strength, ened the rains descended in tor rents the seas boiled with fury: hoarse thunders rumbled, and keen lightning burst from the heavens. Theodore, the shivering and almost expiring Theodore, once more awoke, and cast his eyes upwards.

A gentleman of Sweden was condemned to suffer death forcertain offences committed in thedischarge of a public office which he had filled for a number of years. His son, a youth of about eighteen years, was no sooner apprised of the predicament of the author of his being, than he flew to the judge who had pronounced the fatal sentence, and prayed, that he might be suffered to die for a father whom he adored and whom he could not survive.

"Of what avail," eried he, "could the most exalted title do me, humbled as my family already is in thedust? alas! would it not serve as a monument to perpetuate in the minds of my countrymen the direful remembrance of an unhappy father's shame!" The king actually shed tears when this s peech was repeated to him, and sending for the youth to court, immediately appointed him to the office of his private confidential secretary.

Now start at a shadow, when no danger is near." Too much'tis too much, he all dariger defying, Now leapt o'er the barrier, now calling aloud, "Glenalvon, come on, I'm thy prowess for trying." A horseman sprang forth from the midst of the crowd. "A boon! sirs, a boon! as a stranger I crave it, I've oft heard of Henry of Hunting. don's fame; My wish is to enter the lists-I may claim it Ye surely have all heard Sir Archibald's name."

To [CONTINUED.] O describe Constantia's feel. ings on reading this, would be an impossible task. At length the long promised moment seemed arriving, and she had now the means in her power of hastening its progress; for she had money enough to enable her to travel any where in pursuit of evidence of her parents' innocence; and as a first step towards it, she resolved to set off for Rotterdam immediately.

Now I trust that I have done my duty to the utmost, said Constantia to herself, as she seated herself in her travelling carriage, ac companied by an old servant of her deceased relation, who had come to Paris in order to pay her the legacy; and then wiping an involuntary tear from her ey she bade the postillion take the road to Flanders. On her arrival at Rotterdam, she learnt, with the most painful surprise, that the article in the Gazette had been an entire forgery, and that no criminal whatever, had, at the time mentioned, been executed in that town.
