Thurlogh, The Milesian.

Having acquired , dining the lifetime of his father , a very respectable knowledge of the Greek and Latin languages the staple literature of that part of the sister kingdom , he conceived the project that by perfecting himself in those , some opportunity might offer to make this knowledge available . The idea was submitted to the rest of his brothers in council , and agreed upon by them , one and all . The elder ones accompanying him some twenty or

thirty miles on his journey towards a specified academy ; and having there trusted him to his stars and the guardianship of heaven , they retraced their footsteps towards their melancholy home . Not less dreary nor less desolate were Thurlogh ' s thoughts as he paced his lonely route by the forest side , on an autumn ' s evening , after the return of his two elder brothers . Never before on any occasion had they been apart . They were a little republic , united and linked together by stronger ties than

those of kindred—unity of purpose and of heart—and who having been equally the victims of oppression and encroachment , were equally resolved to stand by and uphold one another , feeling solace , each and all , in the mysterious attachment that animated their fraternity , and made them look forward with confidence to better days in reserve . This very attachment it was , however , that served now to aggravate the loneliness and despondence of the young traveller ' s path . Every object that he saw , every sound that he heard , ivould recal to his memory some incident of his childhood . This bush was like that which overhung the

garden-wall , under which , in tbe calm of the even , or in the freshness of the dawn , be used to repose in the enjoyment of the nigbtengale ' s notes , or the sprightliness of the lark , as it awoke from its slumbers . That stream would remind him of the little brook within the valley , ivhere , in innocent sport , he used to while away the day , amusing himself alternately in stooping down over its bank to hold converse with his own shadow , or groping about in it for little fishesor listening to its purling waters . That mountain ,

, afar off , was like the one of his birth-place , along whose craggy sides he used to pursue the native goat , and where , in the buoyancy of his full heart , he would rival the agility of that animal ' s movements while urging the chase , or make the lowlands reverberate with the strength of his shouting . These and the like reflections cast their colour over his mind , as he skimmed across the moor ; nor was their tinge at all ameliorated by the whistling of

tiie wintry blast that swept along the border . He had but just escaped from tbe wood , when a new and no less serious consideration forces itself into notice , —where was he to sojourn for the night ? AYliere take shelter from the inclemency of the season ? " The fowls of the air have nests , and the foxes have holes to recline in , " but man , he would cry in the bitterness of his anguish , " hath not where to lay his

head . " In this predicament he espied a far off a portly-looking house , lighted up with the symptoms of inward cheer , such a one as in the days of chevaliers and knights-errants would be a certain asylum to all who were in want , as well to the benighted champion of beauty as to the houseless child of
