Oider persons in a simi- e t iar manner, cheated themselves into the be- re ' belief that my g'fts were mm 11 more wonder ful than they were. ‘ Are you quite sure you are not a little witch ?’ said W'illiam Cumming. ‘SelEm kissed you and laid his nose on your shoulder, the;- first five minnte< of your acquaintance.’ I answered him with game impatience: ‘ I wish people had as much sense as horses..- They know who mean well by them, while people are always suspectmg one. They suspect poor little me of witchery, or the blaokart. Even you, Uncle William, ate afraid I will cheat yon.’ I was grieved, pérhaps a little angry, that I had not been trusted to ride Selim ; and now “73an had returned. I wished to punish him. But he took no notice of my ill humor, and said very pleasantly: ‘ Tell me, by your blank-art, where I have test: the last half hour.’ I have said that I was odd. My senses had a sort nt preternatural acuteness that seemed miraculous to others, and I am not quite sure but that I had a sense more than belonged to my acquaintances. William Cumming used to cal; me ‘ a little witch,’ because [could tell h at what he was quite sure I did not know, and could not find out by any natural meansâ€"but he meant usual, I think,when he said natural. My ways of acquiring infcr- matiou were very simple, and natural to me; still, as I had established a character forex- traordinary ‘ knowingness,’ I got credit when I did not deserve it. I went up to my room, and cried bitterly.â€" Girls and babies don’t weepâ€"they cry. When my eyes were red. and my curls in a tangle, I looked in the glass. I was at a trying age; my collar-bones were prominent, and had ‘ salt cellars,’ with dreadful shad mas, and my arms were skin and bones. A weaver would have said that I was ‘all warp, and no fill- ing.’ William Cumming was thirty years old, and had a farm adjoining my father’s.â€" He was a scholar and a gentleman, and en]- tivated his own land, and had the handsomest horses in the country. I had a great respect for him, though I am afraid he was indebted to his four-looted friends for a portion of it. ‘Common sense at thirteen!” said William laughinu; and he took off the side- saddle, and replaced it with his own, and then 416 rode mmay ‘ Bull he an“ try to be master, and your llamls an: no! iron, my little friend.’ \M' at you lem,’ saitl l; ‘ l Will turn him three «my; a! once, if he insists on running away.

I patted his good manners ; and after a canter of ten miles, l turned him homeward. On the way, [saw tLe same ilMooking fellow watching the horse that William had observed. We compared descriptions. and found that he was the same ferson. William was delighted to know that had ridden Selim without accident or ill- behaviour on the part of the horse. His par- tiality' for the orchard caused him to be left there in the clover, and the next day he was stolen. The bill separated him from our fight, and a breach. was made in the fence, and he was taken away about mid-day. My father had been to the village. three miles dis. tant, and was returning: Just as he left the Village. he came into a piece of woody ground. 1 Recent rains had filled puddles tn the road' thatirere miniature ponds. Alfie .Qnteredl the wood, heeaw Selim appfoefshtn‘g. backed by a stran °e rider, even the ellâ€"looking fel- 104*. who ad‘jult succeeded m nailing him. ‘ Leave him to me,’ said I; ‘I will take care 01 him.’ When William was gone, and Selim was satisfied with the grass, I called him by a low whistle that his master used. He trotted up to me, and laid his nose upon my shoulder. I led him to the door, and sad- dled him with my own side-saddle, and then with very little preparation, I started for a contraband ride. Selim cantexed away, seem- ingly proud of his burden, and I was rocked In the cradle of an ecstatic delight. There is, in my opinion, no terrestial ecstacy to be com- pared with a canter, provided your horse be of the right kind, and the atmosphere and scene- ry equally desirable. For myself, I want no company but my horse. I do not want to put my foot in the hand of any cavalier; but I want to spring into my aeriel cradle, and skim over hill and dale, like a creature With wings. nnnn nnIoo C‘..l° 4,° I _ _ -_. --’ ‘â€"..u\«| II“. ‘He has more sense than a great many men,’ I said, as I passed into the orchard, when the crushed clover bicasoms gave me notice that the horse had passed but a few may I ride him, Uncle William?’ ‘ You will not find him,’ he answered. I ran to the top of the hill. On the other side, Selim was trying to eat with his bit be- tween his teeth. I went to him and tried to unbucklethe bridle on the wrong side. He quietly turned the other side of his head to my awkward hands, putting the right buckle pertinaciously before me, till I unfastened it. William Cumming came along, greatly pleas- ed, but said that Selim should do the gate-~ trick, again,that he might see him. So he led him back, and left him to himself in the yard again. He drew out the gate-pin with his teeth, and when the gate swung open, he put the pin again in the hole, and went his way to feast upon the sweet grass. ‘ Except for the fact that you are all nose,’ said Vthliam. ‘You are a cross between a vulture and a dove. But I must attend to Se- lim. I dare say he thinks he is hungry.’ He went out to see the horse, but was gone. He looked all around. but did not find him. 7 He is stolen,’ said William, much alarm- ed, ‘ I saw an ill-looking fellow watching me as I rode home. The gate is shut. and there was no way for him to disappear, unless some one has taken him.’ ‘The gate is shut,’ said I, ‘but it is not fastened.’ The gate was fastened by a pin, which was put in a hole bored in the gateâ€"post.-â€" When the pin was taken out, the gate swung open. and if the wind were right, it might be closed again. I examined and found the pin on the wrong side of the gate, which had evi- dently been closed by the wind. I smelled the pin; Selim’s breath was warm on it.-â€"- This was perfectlytperceptible to me, but not to William. ‘ Selim don’t know enough to take out the pin. and then replace it,’ said he.

What you say is all true: but how do you know it?’ ‘Simply, and ohly,’ I replied, ‘because I have a nose. When you came in, I smelt Selim, and the penny-royal.

I know all this, though I have been here all the while.’ He walked over to where I was standing, and saidâ€"- ‘ How do you know all this 7’ As he came beside me, I saidâ€" ' And you saw Mary Stacy, and shook hands 1 With her; and you have something in your pocket from Lulfe Stacy.’ l l was vet? ill from {hasshock of this dread- ful scene. A believe I was out of my senses, and had a sort of brain fever, which was very much aggravated when the widow Jameson called to see me. My father took a lantern, and went for W'il- liam Cumming; I dressed, and when they came, I led the way to the spot, where I was lconvinced we would find some one dead or dying. The howling of the dog that preced- ed us struck us all with a sad solemnity. As we drew near the edge of our field, which was bounded by the road, we saw a horse standing, and as we came nearer, we saw it was Selim. Lying beside him, was a man. My t'ather stepped to examine, and said :--- ‘l belleve he is clearl.’ The halter was tuckled to his arm, and he, was bitten horribly in his arms and legs. and l and had bled to death. They raised him, and laid him on the back of the now docile' Selim, thinking that perhaps he had onlyl fainted. They took him to our house; but he was quite dead. He proved to be. the thief who had stolen Selim before, and who had only been three days out of prison. After the necessary formalities, the poor wretch was buried. Selim never passed the place where he had killed him without being seized with a severe fit of shuddering. ‘ Fathér,’ saiEi I, ‘haif a mile from here, close to the post-road, a human being is 13'- ing,_bleeding to_death. I am sure of it.’ When we were out of hearing of my mo- ther, I told him of the sounds and of the smell of blood. He always believed me when I told him anything that seemed incredible, for he had much eXperience of the truth of the testimony qt” my senses. ‘I thought t“ heard game one,’ said Leva- eively. I waited for my father to dress, and it seemed an hour’s tune, though only a few minutes, that he was hastily putting on his clothes. The beautiful Mrs. Jameson was. still young, but much nearer W'illiam’s age than I was.â€" My pulse beat fast, and the long vista of my future life looked gloomy and terrible. After tormenting myself till I thought I wanted to die, I fell asleep. I awake in a kind of shud- dering horror. I heard sounds the like of which I had never heard before ; they seem- ed compounded ot the squeal of a horse and the groans and cries of a human being. I was sure Iheard these sounds, that it was not a sleeping fancy; but when I was fully night in the latter pan of June, and my win- dows were raised. I slept on the second floor, and two huge windows of my room fac- ed the south. Halfa mile, in a direct Ime from these windows, was a post-road. I was sure that the sounds I had heard came from. the road,or its near vicinity. I listened earn- i estly, but all Was still. Suddenly there float- ed into my room, filling it as it were, with an , odor, that I was perfectly sure was trom warm 1 human blood. Ishrank down into my bed, and shook with horror; then, with a great ef- fort of my will, I arose. threw on a dressing- gown, and hurried to my father’s room. ‘ Father, father!’ I cried, ‘ come with me.’ ‘ What is it Agnes, dear!’ said my mother. ‘ What has frightened you 7’ l - ---u.J VI lch‘lO Not long after this, we heard of the arrest and conviction of a horse-thief, and on inqui- ry we learned that he was the same person who had been treated so unceremoniously to a mud bath bv Selim He was sentenced to the state prison for four years. During: this time. I felt very secure about Selim; and William used to tell me that I thought there was only one rascal in the world. The days flew by. for my youth was happy. Four years fled, and I was in my eighteenth year. Wil- liam Cumming had been my instructor in many things and as my friend in all during this time. [always called him Uncle W'il- liam; and it never occurred to me that our relations could be changed People asked why he dltl not marry. He said that his old bacheloriam was a chronic complaint, and would probably never be cured. I remember one night as I lay in bed that the thought occurred to me: What if IVilliam Cumming should marry? It is surely no harm to speak of it now, for he has been married several years, and Iâ€"But I Will not anticipate. The pretty widow, Mrs. Jameson, had been staying a month with a. friend in oar neightorhood. and William had been very polite with her, and what was worse than all, he had promised that she should ride Selim. The next day was appointed for her to ride, and by a not very strange coincidence, I this night asked myself the question : ‘Why can- not I be married to William Cumming ?’ The answer father.’ v i _ ~â€"- n-vvra L'\|\ ll u UIUIU. William Cumming had paid one hundred and twenty-five, and be valued the horse at double that sum. ‘That story can’t impose upon me,’ said my father. ‘ Only two persons were ever or that horse’s back before ; and when you steal another horse, you will do well to find out be.â€" forehand whether you can ride him. It is not nice to be spilt in a mud puddle; but you may congratulate yourself that you deserve it.’~- He drove on, leaving the crest-fallen Villain dripping wrthndirtywnter. i Iri the middle of one (if the largest pools of water, Selim very deliberately lay down. and roiled, so as to detach his rider; he then rose suddenly, and galloped away at the top of his speed. The fellow got up. He was ‘the knight of the rueful countenance’ and ruefu! coat, and all other habiliments, when my father met him. ‘ ‘ My horse has thrown me,’ said he, using‘ isome bad adjectives to Selim’s discredit. ‘ Where did you get that horse '3’ said my ‘I bought him on a farm about three miles from here.’ ‘ How much did you give for him '7’ asked my father. ‘ 'l‘wenty-five pounds; and I’ll have my money back : I will never keep such a brute.’ ‘KYZIII_--_ f!
