It was lonely and IC vely as ever. The huge elm andycw trees threw out their wide-spreading branches all around, casting a deep and melancholy gloom over the dark-green turf beneath, and all was as still and silent as the dead which reposed in lasting sleep beneath that cold earth. It was iii- :lecd a hallowed place~â€"-a place ~“there a weary pilgrim wou'd long in rest. With throbbing h eartaiid moistened eyes did the pair advance towards the tombthey sought. They were close on it, when, for the first time, they observed a stranger kneel- ing at the head of the grave. They slowly approached until they reach- ed the side of the stranger, who looked up, and, like the dead arisingr from the grave, 'slowly arose, with his hands clasped, and his look and attitude wrapped in amazement.

I have found you at last, and never, never more shall I lose sight of you again.’ ‘ ‘My dear Walter,’ said William, ‘long have I sought after you, and many a sad night nnd day have I spent thinking on you. I mourned yoii often as dead, yet a ray ofliope would now and then come o’er my lieai't,_and a confident certainty of again meetiug you.’ "In our own joy,’ said W'altcr, as be pressed his brother’s hand, ‘ we have forgot our old uncle.’ The old man was on his knees, engaged in deep. fervent, and thankâ€" ful‘prayer; the tears were streaming down his furroived cheeks ; and tho sunbeams, gleaming through the branches of an old elm, shone upon his hoary locks. as if lieavcn were smiling on him. Kindly did the bro- thers raise him ; and as William embraced him, the old man, with tears ofjoy, exclaimed, ‘Now, 0 Lord! my prayers have been heard and accepted: I have seen Thy lov- ing-kindness, and will ever bless Thy Here,’ he continued, as he took the brothers by the handâ€"â€" ‘ here, twenty years ago, we met in grief,-too soon to part in sorrow and bitterness of heart ; here has Provi- deuce ordained that we should meet told a tale of sorrow and of suffe iltjoy, and know that His hand has, raised a cloak which lay in a corner as they related to one another the adventures which had befallen them, since they had lost each other.

The substance of her sad story was, that they called her Mary Grantly â€"â€"â€"hcr father was an officer, and they had sailed from Calcutta. Her fa- ther mother, and her sister Jane had been with her; a storm had come on,gand the ship was sinking, when they placed her and her nio- tlier in a boat, into which a number of men liarljumped, and had cut the rope which attached it to the ship, so that the boat floated away. She could not tell how many days they drifted on, but she was very hungry and thirsty. Some ofilie men drank salt water, wont mad, and jumped overboard. Latterly, she remember- ed that liei' mother prayed and wept over her. and she fell asleep. She begged to be taken again to her papa and mamma ; and pleased with the promise of seeing them again, she soon recovered her health and spirits During her voyage I was her tutor and playmate, and the little fairy soon gained the hearts of all on heard. On our arrival at London, the captain made several inquiries about her relations, but without suc- cess; ard he therefore placed her under the care of his own Sister, to rear and educate licr. Many a voy- age I made with my kind benefactor and, on my return, found Mary in- creasing in beauty and kindness. that my wife and yours are of the same name.

The leak increased, and the crew got in- to the boats to save themselves. The coloiiel’s wife and youngest daughter were lowered into one (it the boats. Some of the crew sprang into it; and, pushing off from the vessel, refused to allow any more enter the boat. They" had neither oars, provisions, nor sails ; and the vessel was on the point of founder- ing, when another vessel hove Ill sight. She remained close by the sinking vessel. The storm abated, and the crew and passongcrs were saved, but had scarcely left the ship when she sank. From that hour till this, no tidings have ever been heard of the ill-fated boat. Broken- hearted the Colonel returned to India with his surviving daughter ; retired uptlic country, and lived in seclu- sion, occupying his time in the edu- cation of his only remaining child. After his death 1 brought her to Calcutta, where she spent some time time with her friends; and from thence we sailed for London, where I married her.’ ‘ Thank Heaven, the mystery is explained !’ cried \Vii'iam as he started up. “Joy! my dear Walv ier’ double joyâ€"your wife's sister lives!

I attracted the notice of the captain, who, finding some resemblence in me to his son, whom he had recently lost, adopted me as his own. With him I sailed to Calcutta. On our return home, and while off the Cape of Good Hope, we encountered a hurricane which compelled us to lie to. The storm passed, and two days after- wards it became calm. On the even- ing of the second day we beheld a boat drifting on the waters towards us. Manning a boat, part of our crew pulled up to her, and found therein the bodies of two men and a female, stiff, cold, and dead. They exclaimed \Val- of the boat. and beneath it found a lovely young fair-liaier girl of about four years of age. T to child was sound asleep. The sailors raised her, and gently bore her to our ship, where she Was placed in the captain’s' own bed. We commited the bodies of the lady and the two men to the deep. Long and soundly did the poor little child sleep ; but its hollow sunken eyes, and pale-worn check a! r- l ing.

On my return home, I retired from a seafaring life, well provided for, and married my dear Mary, the sis- ter of your wife. With mingled feelings of wonder, grief, and joy, did \Valier listen to the narrative of his brother. ‘ The hand of Providence is in this assui‘cdly,’ he said.. ‘ She is indeed the sister of my Jane.’ ‘It was not till lately I traced out her connection to Colonel Grantly,’ said William; ‘ but an advertisement in the newspapers calling on his heirs to come forward, chanced to meet the eye of my old friend, who, looking out some articles found upon the person of Mary’s mother, got them identified as the property of his wife.

But for friendship, as its most heartfelt expression, the 'worthiest, manliest, and sincerest .sign of feeling, they give the open hand to us.’ Indeed, this English hand-shaking, when immodeiate, as it sometimes is, has a somewhat comical effect.

Bodily union, as far as the junction of the ten fingers can effect it, is a beautiâ€" ful symbol of that of the soul, and almost all nations have adopted two hands claSpcd together as the emb- lem of mutual brotherhood and aid.

EFFECT OF TOBACCO. Dr. Solly, an eminent English physiologist, and the author of an excellent work upon the brain, says at the close of one of his lectures, from excess in the use of tobacco and smoking, and I would advise you to disabuse your patients’ minds of the idea that it is harmless. I have had large experience of brain iiig is a most noxious habit. I know of no cause or agent that tends so much to bring on functional disease. and through this, in the end, to lead to organic diseases of the brain, as excessive use of tobacco.’ No man in Great Britain is so competent to speak on this subject. as Dr. Solly, and it is strange that so many young men at the present day should iii- dulge in‘ this pernicious habit of smoking tobacco. COMPANY MANNERS. A WELL bred man has always the same manners at home and in socie- ty, and what is bad in the former is only worse in the latter. It can , never be pardonablc to swagger and lounge, nor to carry into the family Eng-room. Even where familiarity has nothing shocking in itself, it at- presents the danger of a further breach of it. From familiarity to indecency is but one step. Thus, not a part of the dress, not a shoe- string cven, should be arranged in the presence of ladies. The Hindoos remarkable for the delicacy of their manners, would not allow kissing, g, or lying down, to be represented on the stage, and at least the last three should never be permitted in a mixed society of men and women. There are atti‘ tudes, too, which are a transdion from case to fan'iiliarity. and should never be indulged.

They, like Gotswolds, have been improved by an admix- ture of Leicester blood. They pre- sent improved Lincoln sheep, par- takes largely of the peculiarities of the Cotswold and Leicester, having the expansive frame and nobility of appearance of the one, with the quality of flesh, compactness of form, beauty of countenance, and propensity to fatten, of the other; but they far exceed either, in weight of fleece. Three year elds some- times weigh 965; pounds to the quar‘ tor, and yearlings 71 pounds. The weight of wool ofan entire flock under fair average management, is about 8:} pounds. The Lincoln breeders consider the” mutton excel- lent, having less at, and a greater proportion offiiie grained, lean flesh, than the Leicester. The ewes are good breeders, but like the Cots- wolds and Leiccslei's, are not good sucklers. 6. Siiiiorsninns. -â€"Tliese are crosses.
