mltted to visit the house of the
-wealthy ftvlmer in the quality of
a lover, or hi modern parlance,
to "pay Iris addresses" to the old
man's darling, the beautiful
Alice Bucklnnd. Hers was tluit
beauty at which your city dames
scoff: but her fair clieek, and
glowing with the rosy hue of
heulth, her wldte and even teeth
and dark-brown ringlets, though
all partaking of a certain degree
of rusticity, were not less win-
ning; and hfer triumph over
the lusty young miller was com
plete. Between two such beings
there is iittle fear of laQk of affec-
tionj; and ere the year was out
each village lass, pointed to the
happy couple as they strolled
along, and, with laughing eye
atld significant gestures, betray
ed ha allowable envy. .
But the dark veiltif supersti-
tion was still spread over the
peasantry of England. Evil
spirits were believed to roam
through the. world, blightiiig the
fair hopes oiTthe young and san-
guine, heart. Adiark and fearful
tale had often "been whispered
by the elders of the village, that
Roger Clevelly was the last of
his race, and that an evil desti-
ny hang over him. But he heard
not these things; or, if Be did
hear them, they were" unheeded,
and their, forebodings troubled
him not.
At. length the day was fixed
for their marriage1, and the busy
lingers of the bride , and her
friends were employed in pre
paring her wedding dress. In
three weeks they are to be made
man and wife, and each look
forward to the liappy day which
should see them united by the
holy and. indisputable bond of
Wedlock.
Young Clevelly was iu the
habit of tiding over to Hather-
leigh market every week; and
he had left home one daiy for

BOOEB OU3VEUY.
A DEVONSHIRE LEGEND.
In the village of Winkleigh
there lived, in the reign of
Charles the Second, & miller of
the name of Clevelly. He was
\nhiat }is called, in the' remote
Mparts of tlte country, a substan-
~ tial man. What he had was
his own; and'h|s upright deal-
ings with the world, and econo-
my in his owh household, en-
abled htm at his death to pla e
his son Roger, who had just at-.
tained his twenty-second yetUr,
in similarly iMepieindeht cir-
cumstances His estate consist-
ed of a good mill, audi about ten
acres of land in tolerable cultiva
tion. Many Were the delibera--
tions of the calculating fathers
and sHarp eyed mothers of Win-
^1 upon young Cleveliy's
succeeding to his fathers posses-
sions; and they took special
cafe that none of their daugh-
ters should be abseht on Sun-
days, from the village church;:
Roger was a comely andJWell-
proportioned" youth, though the
fastidious tn^ghf say he was
somewhat too sturdy; but" this
is a" fault easily overlooked in
Devonshire, whpre skill in wres-
tling is sO much in repute, and
where strength In body is often
found to make amends for any
deficiency in mental faculty. He
had made no slight Impress-
ion on the fair eyed girls of his
native village; although there
were some damsels, „ whose
charms were on the wane, who
hinted tliat the flourishing bus-
iness of Roger Clevelly Was the
most powerful magnet. Be this
as it may families would have
lieen proud of an alliiince with
the young miller, but the
charms of no maiden hud as yet
enslaved hiiii, although there ... . ,
