I'he New York Mtchunic has suddenly 'keen taktn with a scntimtntal fit, and pours yl|gilh the folluwing sung:
*' My hands are like the roses.

For I am parrot-toed ; J never rode a hurst but once. And that time 1 was throwed.

While speaking his connlenaiice becaine gloutny and dejected, as if the sentence he hud just uttered had recalled tu his mind billtr memories uf days gune by. Said he " yuung man may it never fall to yuur lut tu share the miseries and mi.-l'uitiini's I have burne." I hope not, said I, if 1 in ly judge uf them frum the sorrow of your countenance, which the bure recullettiun ul them brings lorth. Ihe uld man pressed me tu take tea with ihtm, pioinising to go with me purl of the way hume. 1 cunsented, (for I becaine much iiilerresled in him and his niece.) At tea, tl.e beaulilul 'Phtrese acted as hosli-ss.-- At letij,tli, rtheii the huur arrived lo ile- pui t, the old man said to me, " yuunt sir, il'ynu think us worthy ol anotlier visit, I will then give ynu our hislury ; for better nnd paf.iiier duys than these it has been our lut lu share; but times change and Cod's will has brought abuut this change ill nur forluiiea."—Said I, " Guod sir, su much have I been interested in yourself und your beautilul niece, that had yuu not made the uffer, 1 inteiuled fu .-isk ynu soinelliiiig uf yuur past life." "'Pi well." Slid the uld man ; yuu shall be gratified ; with that he accompanied nie pui t uf the Way home. VVe parted vvith the p:irliculur request ofthe old man, llmt I shuuld nut delay my visit.
A few days after, I aguin visited There- se Konunski, and her uncle .-Augustus.— Phey seemed much pleased tu see me. " Be seated,''said he, " vve thuught you hud ulready lorgulten us. " Y.iu certain¬ ly did nut think me so ungrateful" said I. " 'Phe unfurtunate are soon fuigntten," replied he, " in this cold and heartless world. 'Phis is a blessed tuniitry ut youis," said he, " 1 never think uf it but the Iliuught ufil makes me sad—ts uppres- surs, and that the yuke must ever gull il: nu chunce uf frtedum ever ; Piiland must ever be iippressed—bull prumised lugive) yuu my histury vvhich always gives me * (luin, but as I vvas tulking uf iny country, wliich IS equully painful, I will nuw pro¬ ceed :"
