dchghtful must it have been to witness the silent operations of his mcigiml wand , when by only " gently placing it under each wheel , and apj ^ jring to lift them , " with the help of a little inanuduction , and an euphonious
sound transmitted from his lips , which , 1 think , the narrator -much depreciates , by the vulgar phrase 4 i calling to the horses , " the cumbrous load was instantly disengaged " without any apparent difficulty , " and once more fixed upon solid ground ! After some kind directions
by the stranger , we fiiid that- as the grateful traveller was preparing , as well he might , to offer him some solid remuneration , Heigh ! pass !—the . little man had vanished in art instant ! and , though it was onl y in the dusk * of the evening , could no where be found ! To be sure a wood
is an admirable place fora person to . conceal himself in , who desirejs a game at ho-peep or , in a way vA charity , does not wish to ¦ " let his left hattd know what his right hand doeth ; " yet still , I verily think , he roust have heard the traveller cry out lustily , and in common civility *
which should always accompany acts of charity , should have turned back to receive his acknowledgments . However , as he is gone , we cawnot help it ; but I should certainly wi *!» , if pos&iUIe , ( 1 jffican in an hhftmc&i way , for I suppose unless he were a
being of another wjorld he hath long passed away to reeteire hts reward ?) to become better acquainted with tWs trWy respectaWe persoriag ^ i his lineage and ancestry . Most assuredly , if we are to take this narration in the lump , we can entertain no serious doubt
of the singular occurrence related of Col . Gardiner , by his pious biographer , as justly entitled to the character of a vision , and not a dream ; and shall perhaps he suitabl y prepared ftw a partial , if not a full ' assent smd consent * ' to the truth of some <* f # 1 ^ supposed heathen n > iracles , q « fK >]> i » , h legends : or , are all such rclj » tK * tts »
