There was love | aud friendship ready to my band, and I turned | | but cold glances upon beth. I protest I ¥uiue Kitty's affection above—far above nuggets.

les- | tecus one glance of ber eye superior to the aparkle | of diamouds, and untold gold could not repay me

fur the loss of a smile of her’e; and yet I confess

that morning I occasionally skipped a sentence or | su iu those eight pages of crossed luve—don’t mis- understand me; it was the wriling ouly that was crossed—and it was with more than wy usual pleasure that I received the assurauce that she was ny own affectionate Kitty.

Where love obtained so culd a welcome, it mnay be supposed that friendship came but poorly off. i opened Mertyn’s letter savagely, aud mentally criticised the audience as Tread: “ How are you getting on?” [What a senseless question !] * Dove many sketches? Take care bow you carry them iu your knapsack. Pack them always in the widdle—in medio, &c.; you Kuow the rest.” (Don't beheve le does.) Koew a man vuce’ —~

“ Certainly not.” “Would 1 have a car to the Falls of the

“No; Liotended to walk.”

“ At what time would I wish a car to meet me there m the evening 7”

“At no t.me; [ meant to walk back ”

* Perhaps I would excuse the waiter’s remark- ing that hover-fatigue was not calculated te—”

“ Fill that brandy-flask.”

“ Yes,sir. Pale or bruwn?—Pale! certainly, sir.”

“Should L consider it a liberty in the waiter,” Just returned with the brandy, “if he were to call

* Sandwiches.”’

‘ Certainly, sir. 'Am or beef!—'Ain! yes, sir.”

So I set off, vietualled for my voyage, aud hap- py to turn my back on my place of captivity even fer a few hours. It was a@ delightful morning, with a bright sun, a fresh wind, aod flying clouds that might turn lato rain or might vot—that pro- bably would be everything by turna, but nothing long. 1 was in good walking trim, and as I was without the knapsack that had hung at my back daily for the last mouth, till it bad growu to seew one of the natural furdels of my walk through lie, 1 telt lighter than human as I marched along. Away | went, leaving Bangor aod my bill bebind ue; the town changed into the country—the luxuriant ficlds and hedge-rows’ trees and crops of grase, and gentle undulatious. Gradually the undulations became legs and less geutle, the road was forced tu twist and turn, in order to take ad- vantage of the ground, the grass became thinner, the trees stumpier, far below me ou one side dashed a noisy brook; far abuve we on the other some Wild-lovking sheep were feeding; then a

good intentions, but iatevtions certainly unful- filled, for beaps of great stones appear to have been shot into it, and there left. In fact, the chasm is the bed ef a torrent which must once have dashed through it with tremeudous force, since rocks so huge that one would think nothing less than the Deluge could have stirred them, are piled up and jammed together in awful confusion. The river, however, which made this bed. disdains to lie in it in these degenerate days, and is at

| present represented by a comparatively small | to my recollection the case of the young Hoxford |

stream, whose voice, like that of many @ noisy demagogue accustomed to thunder and bluster at Westminster, would attract no attention but fer the place in which it speaks, and the extent of whose ding is to brawl aloug irritably splashing everything near it, but never moving a stone. As [ sat for a time to recover breath at the en- trance of this cheerful place, I could not but con

Leaving the hapless mutton to its fate, 1 re- sumed my work and entered the Kitchen; and although the rocks inside the chusm were beaped togetber in more utter confusivn than those on the side of the mountain, just as a stream when coufined by narrow banks leaps and rushes more | wildly than when its waters bare wider roow, yet I met with nothing so difficult as to prevent a

lady possessed of great activity and good ankles from aurmounting it, till I bad clambered on for about sixty yards, when I was brought to a sud- den stand-still. Tbe vbstacle was a huge flat rock inclined a little from you, extending frou oue bide of che chaswn tu the other, but not reach-

I leave the ruvad, strike the footpath, and follow it as directed, till I come tu a stop upon the shure of a gloomy black-waved mere, which looks, with its savage surroundiugs, like a place “ where no ope comes or hath come suice the making of the world.” There it lies “among the tumbled fragments of the bills,” the gaunt mountains with their beads muffled in cluuds hewning it in, the whole ecens an awful I stand balf-appalled by ibe heaven-abaudoned look of everything about me; and as my eyes wander from oue point of de- sulation tu another, they perceive high up in the mountain, on the further side of the lake, a black cleft. There it is, the T'wll-Du of the Welsh, the Black Hole of the guides, the Devil’s Kitchen of Hawkins’s mece. Weather appropriate to the place set in at once. A welancholy wind passed meaning by, working the black water into waves; the mountains drew their clouds still further down, as if preparing for dirty weather; and the rain eame on with arush.
