THE MYSTERIOUS EXCIIANGE.
[coriestrum Meal OVA LAM]
Otte day, when inning along the Plea-
sancsellamilton was observed by Betty Wal-
ker, who --having resolved upon scene mode
of discovering Helen,and in aeievil hour fixed
upon the purpose of following her seducer
—ran as fast as her poor aged limbs would
allow, in the direction which he had taken,
hoping, in this way, to find out the place
of Helen's retreat. On this occasion she
was unable to keep pace with Hamilton,
and lost him as ho turned up a cross lane
running off from the main street of the
Pinnace ; but she resolved to perseve
le her endeavours, sod, et the same hour,
next day, watched again, and epee seeing
him pan, again followed him. The' she
repeated several tenes, not without being
.observed by Hamilton, who always qiiicken-
cd his pace and evaded her. Foiled in this
way, Betty lost her usual calmness of tem-
per ; and having come out and oiet Hamil-
ton, as he was passing along, her indigna-
tion completely mastered her, and on the
public streets she upbraided him, mei charg-
ed Inns with the seduction of Helen Morton.
A crowd was immediately collected, which
formed some impediment to Havoiltonas
progress, and Bony, proceeded with her
charge, gettiog more enthusiastic in her
progress as her feelings wareted.
"Oh, that Edinburgh should steed meet-
ly by," she ejaculated, looking as the an-
cient Pythia might bo wippoeed to have
done " and see the sin of man flourishing

leaves green. 0 thou sword of the Lord, to penetrate into their awful secrete, but

The trial of Betty was hurried on with
most indecent speed. The court having
dreo John Baxter died within a week of
each other ; besides many other devilish
freers and tricks which she had played off
against the guide and effects of her neieh-
boure ; at least the said Elizabeth or Betty
guilty or not guilty pia and answered.—
The depute, Hamilton, thee addressed the

of the weetched, ho flew to her, and, throw-

former times came over him, and ho saw
her, a woman h000ured and revered—a pat-
tern of every godly excellence—belmed by
her husband — worshipped by her, son,
whose only aim was to do good, and only
fear to do evil—about to perish on a tlaming
pile amidst the yells of an infuriated popu-
lace, excited, by the powers of prejudice
and hatred, to tbe trenzy of demons. He
continued to hang round'her beck—tbe
subs his bursting heart echoed througb
the cell—and it was only by the calm ex•
postulations of his parent that he could be
made to eit down beside her and endeavour
to moderate his grief.
