"WHITHER are you going in suck

little girl, whom he met rututing with a
swiftness which seemed urged by some
extraordinary occasion--" Whither are
you going? " "Mamma is very ill, Sir,
and I am going for the Doctor," replied
the child, throwing back the fine flaxen
ringlets that half concealed her face,

Mr. Blandtbrd was what is termed, "Na
man of the world he had visited dif-
ferent countries, and observed, with no
superficial eye, their manners and cus-
toms. He had mixed in general society--
had marked the vices that too often dis-
grace it, without reflecting upon the vir-
tues that as frequently adorn it. He
viewed only the dark side of human na-
ture; and having been duped by some
men, he suspected all. He carried into
the world a heart replete with confidence,'
ajid every generous sentiment; he with-
drew from it with one contracted by dis-
: trust, and chilled by disappointment. In
a moment of discontent and displeasure,
he left the metropolis, and with his only
child Emily, (a girl often years of age,)
and. an elderly female servant, travelled
northward, undetermined where to re-
main, till, passing through a small village

minated an inn. The pompous promises
of ** Good entertainment," &c. which it
hekl forth in golden letters to the passen-

Blandford. Tlie low oheisance of the
landlord, and the many curtsies of the
good woman his wile, with their officious
zeal to procure him what he required, he
did not consider, as they really were, the
customary tokens of attention and grati-
tude, but as the servile and awkward imi-
tations of designing civility; and viewing
every thing with the jaundiced eye of sus-
picion, he began to doubt whether he had
