In sundry portions ruled in every mind;

And o’er the whole an unobtrusive air

Of pious joy, that urged the silent prayer,

And bless’d the new-born feelings——Here we close

Our Tale of Tales!—Health, reader, and repose!

POSTHUMOUS TALES.

TALE I.
SILFORD HALL; OR, THE HAPPY DAY.

Within a village, many a mile from town,

A place of small resort and no renown—

Save that it form’d a way, and gave a name
