Excerpt from Leila: Or the Island Female in the dress of an attendant stood by his side, and both were bending anxiously over the apparently lifeless body of a beauti ful child. Hours had passed away in their unwearied efforts to reanimate the object of their anxious care; but hitherto all had proved vain, and the deepest despondency was apparent in the father's face, for such he was. A brown water-spaniel, which lay beside them, completed this melancholy group, and seemed no uninterested spectator of the scene. It crept closer and closef to the object of their solicitude, as if anxious to impart to it a portion of its own life and warmth, and with eyes fixed on the pale features of the child, uttered from time to time a low melancholy whine.
