While this feeling bf mingle:l tenderness and veneration was springing up in the bosom of the father, he died, and felie wa4 left without companionship and without preceptor, with the 'elements of good and evil' Aliltttberirig in her heart, like a mine tef rough trems bedded in earth, and but partially Iain open to ihe sunshine. that she loved him—-and it was with a pa*, sion deep and holy m an angel's prayer— yet phmtonate, Sincere,s and self-devoting, "ds w8mianVte'v#."

Monockonok Island lies in the stream of the Susquehanonh ; its trees cast their shadow with a dreamy beauty over the waters, as they sweep onward toward their outlet, and its green slopes, broken into tittle hillocks and enamelled with wild flowers, lie sleeping in the sunlight like a vast pile of emeralds drifted up from the bed of the river, and heaped like a miniature paradise upon its bosom. On either side are hills, burthened with rooks and abundance of foliage, sometimes crowding to the verv brink of the river, in ragged cliffs, and then fulling back with a majestic sweep, and stooping down to the waters in. a.broad meadow, or a breezy grove. Down a few miles from the island, nestled in between a bold curve of the river ttnd a pictures*!® mountain, lies the little town of Wilkesbarre, a gem of a village set .in a.haven of loveliness. But the valley of Wyoming is classical ground ; our pen glides timidly over its beauties, conscious that a mightier has gone before. More than a half a century ago, a few log cabins stood eft the site of the beautiful village. . A clearing, now and then, with its humble duelling was scattered along thd brink of the stream ; and one log hut, sheltered by a huge sugar maple, with n grrute plot sloping ■ to the water in front, and a garden made cheerful by a few hoilyhocks and marigolds 'behind,'D»tood like a mammoth bird's nest, on . Monockonok Island. Its resident was an aged and in. firm woman, who had moved into tho valley among its first settlers, with an only son, and his two motherless daughters,—• While the son was y«t laboring to clear the fifty-acre-lot, which he had purchased with the intention offorming n home for his aged phrerrt and his orphan girls, death called him suddenly from his labors, and old mother Dervvent, was thrown on the world, burthened with two helpless children. But the sympathies of our nature tuke deeper root and flourish, more kindly among the hardy settlers of our forests, than in our crowded and fushionable cities. A tenant was soon found to work tjie cleared land, "on shares." and; tho neighbors collected together, and ierccted a dwelling, of two rooms, on the little inland, which the old lady selected for her residence. Mrs. Derwent had chosen this location, for other reasons than its surpassing loveliness. Yet, with a natural thste for the - sublime, and beautiful, there brought into close neighborhood, she.exer;. ted'«drher"inge;iuiiy in ornamenting her little house. 'Fhenatire fruit trees, which' grew in abundance among the wild rocks, and on the brink) of the river, were transplanted to her dcrmain ; the and. stinted trees were cleared away ; a few sugar maples, and one magnificent oak, flung their shadows ®vef the stream •, and in the autumn, when the-iDtrees weeo bjirthened with fruit, when the crub.apples hung in crimson cluster s'onlfhe boughs, when the luxurious peach, the purple grape, and the wild plum, bluslwd together, and ripened In the same sun--hine, the little island might hvaCs been mistaken for a floating gatden. of-the Eastt lost among the stupendous mountain.scenery of our colder cli- EAGLE HOTEL. hollinohead, wHrrn a oo. ,. • GEORGE LAZARUS, Poor Mary Derwent!

A few whit» blossoms had been twFned among them iu honor of her party, and thus she was mir» rored, half concealing the form of l e* s'ster, whose face, in all its pale spiri ual lovelin: ss, beamed out from the pruteo ion of her arm.

The waters were tranquil as' the arch of a summer sky, and the »is. ters were still gazing od the lovely faces, speaking to theirs from their clear depths, when a canoe swept suddenly round ihe gras-y promontory, which formed one side ofthe cove.' With a dash of the oar, it shot, like an arrow, into the basin, arid its occupant, a young man of perhaps two. and-twenty, leaped upon the green-sWard The sisters started from the embrace.— Both blushed, and a glad smile dimpled th« round cheek of the elder, as she steppei forward to greet the new comer.
