Robert saw with affectionate concern the agoni- sed state of it, she again spoke. " Do you see that fair girl. leaning upon the arm of that young officer 7." she said, " Oh! those soft blue eyes were form- ed for smiles : but she has trusted her happiness to the keeping of another, and they will yet be dimmed with tears." .‘\NDVJ{ICHMUND HILL ADVERTISER.

That ’Iook was returned by Cameron with aug- mented fiurceuesx and he was gene. " All is over!"7 exclaimed Einily, as they reached the grounds, in a (vuice so deep and hollow, that it made her companion start. " Say not so," he returned, “ for all may yet be well.H “ All is well!” was her calm reply ; "for l and Cameron will meet no more." “ Nay, nay ; be not too hasty, my dear cousm ; this may be satisfactorily explained ; and, after all, Cameron has .1 noble mind, and were it not for that artful girl, would never have acted thus."

At this moment :1 gentle tap an the door met her ear, and in an instant 1 she was in her former station. “ Come ‘ in, Robert.” she said, with all the com-1 posure she could command. The door‘ opened. and Cameron was before her. A faint shriek ofsurprise was upon her lips; but, instantly checking herself. she mereiy said, “ Mr. Cameron !â€"â€"â€"â€"1 i did not expect the pleasure of Mr. Cameron‘s society this evening ;" and ‘ crising with all the haughtiness withi which woman ever rose, she placed‘ ‘him a chair. I “ Nor does it seem that he is a very welcome visitor,” he replied, half heSl- taling ere he aucepled it.

Mr. Camcron !” she observed with awe lessness. "Is it?" he replied. “I really knew not what sort of an evening it was; my thoughts have been too deeply absorbed to notice." " Indeed !" she exclaimed, wiith af- fected surprise. All was again silence. “ Miss Green !" Cameron at length exclaimed, “ I have intruded this even« ing upon your privacy, to converse for a few moments upon a most important subject.” “ Mr. Cameron l” replied Emily, hastily rising. “ if you return to your home. you will find a communication there awaiting you, which will save us both this needless interview; there- fore. excuse me, if I withdraw.” And bowing, she moved towards the door. " Emily, is it thus you dismiss me 1” he cried, darling forward to detain her. Severe was the reply which hovered upon her lips; but so difficult is it to exchange words of kindness for sever- ity, that neither pride nor all her reso- lutions could enable her to regain her seat in silence. “ This cousin of yours. Mr. Mausfclt,” continued Cameron, speaking with effort ; “is, I believe, an old acquaintance.” He stopped. “Oh. yes,” was her eager reply ; “ we have known and loved each other from our cradles; nor has his long ab- sence in the least weakened our attach- mem.” Cameron hall'm‘ose; “ I could not but observe it." he said, wiih agi‘ation. “ I dare say not ; indeed, it has been said,” and a blush of conscious shame heightened the colour of her check 10 a digressng glow,â€"â€"- " it has been said, xhai .we were formed by nature for each other.” “ Then be it so,” wiidly vociferated Cameron, starting from his seat, with a iook of agony ; “ never. never, Emiiy. will Litchfield Cameron be the husband of one whom honour alone compels to accept him,-~â€"Emi|y, Emily, you are bound no longer.” Emily started ; for the first time the truth flashed upon her imagination, and she would have rushed towards him‘ had not the suggestion that all might still be but an artifice to obtain his freedom, succeeded; yet. as he stood in the full moonlight, with flash- ing eyes, convulsed frame, and tremb- ling voice, who could doubt that he was wretched ? “Farewell.

Astronomy was first studied by the Moors, and was by them introduced into‘ Europein 1201. The rapid progress oi modern anatomy dates from the time of Copernicus. Books of astronomy and ana- tomy were destroyed, as inflected with magic in England, under the reign of Edward VI. in 1556. Banks were first established by the Lombard Jews in Italy. The word is deri- ved from fianco bench, benches being erect- ed in market-places for the exchange for money, &.c. The first public bank Win it Venice about 1550. The bank of England was established in 1693. In 1696 m notes were at 20 per cent discount.

GREAT WHEAT CRoe.â€"oThe St. Paul Minnesotz'an lays, on sixty acres of land, in Washington County, there was raised this season, the enormous yield of three thou- sandfiushels of wheat, or fifty bushels to the acre. The grain is of the finest and heaviest quality, actually weighing lour and five pounds more to the bushel than the standard weight. The crop was raised from Seed which has long been in the Territory, and was thoroughly acclimated. “'inter‘a cold has no (stint on it. On Saturday, the 3rd instant, at 11 p. m., a fire broke out in the frame barn and shed belonging to the. Swan tavern, Dundas street, about five miles west of this city. The tavern keeper’s family had re- tired to rest. The barn was in flames be- fore they were aroused, and was speedily re- duced to a heap of charred logs and ashes. Fortunately, by the assistance of neighbours, the house was preserved uninjured. The property belongs to W. C. Keele, 1551]., who is uninsured. His loss is estimated at £ 150 .â€"-Calonist.
