 Taking my leave of Long Meg and her daughter, entered the road leading 10 Penrilh, an ancient town o: some im> portance miles distant. The country through the interval was sheltered on the east side by a range of mountains, above which the morning sun was pouring down a flood of rays from the fresh landscape. The farmers were busy in the labors of the season, ,whiStIing bllthIy at the piough scattering the sced-whila others followed with harrow and roller, covering the grain, & smoothing down the mellow soiI. Lois tering along. I forgot the u@0'casant eV~ ents of the previous night, and absorbed in the beauty of the morning, thought nobody more to be envied than the un- hurried pedestrian.

 No sad vacuties his heart annoy;

 For him sod seats :he cottage doors adorn, And peeps the tar-otl' spire, his evening bourn Dear is the forest iyowning o'gG ".s A,ad. And dear the green sward to nia velvet tread, Moves there cloud-oer mid days flaming Upward he looks and calls it lnxury--

 Kind natures charities his steps attend.

 Walking about three miles, l came 10 a little village deeply shaded ia oaks and elms of an uncommon size, presenting the very picture of rural retirement. In the centre stood the rectory, an elegant mansion, just b. yond, on rising ground l caught glimpse of the village church. while 8 little farther, almost concealed in the trees, was Eden Hall. The hall was was the seat of the Musgraves, anciently a famous border clan, and is admirably situated on the bank of the Euen.- There is a singular legend connected | with it, which, strange as it may seem, is believed by, or 1t least affects the con duct of the present proprietor. It isthis A servant once going 10 d neighbor- ] ing spring for water, came suddenly on company of fairies, feasting and danc- ing upon the grass. Interrupted thus in their sports, they fled hnstily away, lea> wing behind painted glass goblet, which 1 the servant immediately took up. One of the fairies coming back for the lost goblet, and seeing it in his possession, turned away, singing as she went,

 that glass should break or fall,

 Farewell the luck of Eden Hall ?

 This goblet has been supersttiously | preserved from generation to generation, 1 being called the Luck of Eden Hali.' Desiring if possible 10 sec this strange | goblet, l applied for this purpose, bu: was told by he butler that the family being then absent, 1t would be impossible flor Sir George he said, was rather su~ perstious in regard to il, keeping it lock ed up under his own particular caro- He proposed however 10 show me the Hall itself. I accordingly followed him through the splendid apar tnents, seeing much 10 dazzle he eye of a plain repub- lican. In the entrance hall were ebony chairs, valued at forty guineas each-- abou; $200! found tho butler to be il man of good manners, and considerable information. And here I must remai k Ii! tthe servants attached 10 the house hold establishments of noOlemcn are un- iversally of a superior kind, both in az pcaraGco and intelligence. Even the lowest of them in place have not that un- coothness of aspect and and sps ech which so generally distinguish the lower from the upper classes in England. However the nobility may neglect ard oppress those of their dependents who are not directly under their own eyes. they un~ doubtedly pay great attention tothe com fort of those Immediately around them. A proof of this saw in the neat little v,lIuge bHlonging 10 the Hall through which I had passed. Indeed believe that many of the abuses which tenant farmers suffer in England, and more par ticularlv in Ireland, urises from the av- arice of intermediate agents between them and he proprictors of the soIi.-- This however is .o arsun.g"t for nobility -it only points ou' ore of tho evils con- ncc,ed with it. And here suspend nJ ramblGgg for thc day. to be resumed to- morrow. Yours as ever,
