Oh! sadly sho smiled when he whispered adieu, For her heart like his own to her country wr.s true; But she wept when the sound of the bugle had died, That wiled him away from his love from his hi ide ! 15 'iieath the fierce sun on a Mexican plain, Where the crimson lined life-drops were ll'iivinu like rain, There the hut 1'nil of battle bent down on his breast.

The lovely Wilhelmine, just in her eigh teenth year, the daughter of the poor cler gyman's widow, hung upon my neck and wept. 1 tried to comfort her in vain. At last I grew a little impatient, and exclaim ed : 'But I don't exactly see what this great misfortune is which you lament so.' Cruel !' A week is net an eternity.' The daughters of the Counsellor are very beautiful,' subbed she. And if they were angels, just come down from the seventh hep.veii of Maho met, what then ? I'll only bok at them, and then away.' 'They are rich, too,' hhe sobbed again. 'Hanker not alter riches, which the moth corrupts,' I replied, strong in Scripture. 'I have the most melancholy forebodings,' said V ilhelmina, mournfully. 'It is always so at separations, returned I ; 'one is prone to fear the worst.' Your uncle is inexorable.' Stone and iron are nothing to him,' was my reply; I declared to him I could not possibly marry either of the Aliss Jung' hauels. 'Just see them once,' said he, 'and 1 wager you will be of a diflerentopinion." There it is!' cried Wilhelmine sorrow fully, and clung anew around my neck; 'do uot leave ine, t rank !' But what can I do?' I answered; 'my uncle' wish is not unreasonable; if I re fuse to accede to it, it will excite suspicion. My second father is persuaded that I din- like those ladies, only because I have never seen them ; all he desires is that I should see them, nothing more. Cannot I grant him this satisfaction 1 Besides, this autumn weather is fair and mild ; I get free from the counting-room for a week, and have a nleasant tune of it.' 'And you will forget me,' said the dear eirl reproachfully. My heart and my thoughts are with you always,' I said in a soothing tone, 'no mat ter how far away M beari ine.' to jjolftfcs, SLKcratttrc, lioraltts, jFowton ant Domcstfc SlCcis, SUNIJUUY, NORTIIUMUKKLA?!!) COUNTY. PA.. EATUKDAY, FFXUAKY I, 1851. When Winhelmino saw that I was re solved to comply wi'.h my uncle's whiles, and start the next day for W , where the rich Counsellor" Junghaucl with his three fair daughters resided, she resigned herself to the inevitable. I was obliged, however, to promise over and over again that nothing should shake my fidelity. With all possible solemnity, and my right hand raised on high, I swore, in the light of the evening sky, where only a few stars were visible, to be true to her. Then fol lowed a long embrace, an endless kiss, and the parting went off more happily than I had expected. The next morning I set out in a one horse vehicle for the beautiful country. But first I had a grand audience with my honored uncle. You will not regret this trip, Frank,' said he : the maidens are beau tiful, intelligent and well read. You will find there no silly little geese, such as are gadding about in our streets. You 11 icy take all your learning wilh you. And re member, too, they will have each hpr thirty thousand dollars; just take care and bring me home a nice little golden daughter-i:i-law, and I will take you into the firm. In a year or two I shall retire, and you are a made man, and may sit snug and laugh at all the world. jVy tried old friend, the Counsellor, has set his heart too on this con nection. Every wcer is not eo highly fa vored. I had to run my legs o:Tto get my wife. Tho old people were opposed to it, and spit fire and flames, i'ortune lies right before you seize it at once.' 'Seize it at once,' mid 1 to myself, as I retired ; 'that is torn sa:d, but my bends are tied, good uncle, and so is my heart too ; nnd even if it were not so, I could not consent to make mv fortune in this wav. These forced marriage tie.-, woven by a third hand, I hate them : it is a desecration of that union which should be formed only by loving I earl.-. As I am determined to go to V , and please my uncle so far, 1 will just amuse myself with this bridal re view. S.i jnuch 1 owe to my benefactor. to whom I am indebted for everything. I am not forced to marry one of the dams.ds ; 1 will merely look at them that will not cost any thing.' In these soliloquies, my liitle carriage rolled along t!w rond. It was a lovely fon--noon in autumn ; the sun shone on the hills, on which the vintage was just beginning. The most fertile landscape llew past me; the boughs of the fruit trees were bent hea vily to Hip earth. From tree to tree, plant ed on both sides of tho road, the busy spi ders had during the night woven their s'llk pn wehs, on which the dew drops glistened like diamonds.' 'I am a little curious shout these daugh ters of the Counsellor,' I continued in my soliloquy ; 'my uncle seemed at a loss for words in praising their beauty ; but I don't exactly understand how they have remain- j ed so long unengaged ilt.iey are such mita - cles. suppose my good uncle has been I somewhat blinded by the hard dollars, as i j often the case with thivo old speculating men of business.' 1 had set my heart upon meeting with some little adventures on the way; but 1 here I was disappointed. The journey i passed oft without incident. Ail the more iiuiiieiuus v.eie me uuvenmies mai were to befal me when I reached my destination. It wrs ten o'clock on the next forenoon when I reached the lare and handsome estate of the rich Counsellor. The morn ing was so beautiful, the country so delight ful, that I resolved to leave mv horse t a little inn about a quarter ol a league from V , and pursue the rest of the way on foot. Having paid due attention to mv toilette, I put my resolve into execution, and trip- ped abnj the nice footwalk like a young I rod. Soon the stately buildings of the Coun sellor'!: estate rose before me. I Lad only a little birchen grove to pass through he- fore reaching the ample garden that wjoin- 1 ed the mansion. I I looked round in all din ctions, hoping to descry one perchance of the Graces whom 1 was to take for a wife, but in vain. In a field to Ihe right a couple ot women, peasants, were at work. I was just enter ing the grove when a slender f-male figure, clad in a graceful hunting-dress, with a fowling-piece in hpr hand, emerged from the green shade. She paused, and leaning on her sun seemed to survey the landscape with delight. 'if that is one of Junghauel's daughters,' thought I, 'rov uncle was not so much out cf the way ; she is certainly very beautiful.' As I did not wish to disturb the lovely vision, I passed on as if I had not observed her; hut J had scarcely proceeded a few steps, when a cl-ar, woman's voice called out, IIalt !' That can't possibly be meant lor me,' x thought, and continued on my way. Suddenly I heard a click, there was i , among among uje leaves, ana a Dull whistled just over my head. J stopped instantly of course, The woman must be crazy,' thought I, and cast a shy glance at the desperate shoot er, hue came .slowly towards me. 1 was impressed in increasing degree with her ex traordinary beauty. A figure which the ornamented hunting-dress set ofT to the greatest advantage, with blonde locks wa ving in rich fullness round her blooming countenance. What avails all this beauty,' said I to myself, if the niind is astray ?' The huntress had now come within fifty feet of me. Who told you to go on,' she demanded in a tone authoritative yet musical, when I bid you halt ?' My gracious' stammered I, quite bewildered by the angry beauty. I am not gracious,' she quickly inter rupted, 'only God it gracious. What do you stop for now V If I am not mistaken, ball flew ever ojr head' Are 3 011 afraid of balls" Well, of ' 'Fy ! a man ouht not to he a(:aii'. Cut accidents may happen.' At no accident should a men show fenr, and least of all, at a lady. You were afraid, 1 suppofe, that I should hurt you V . The lead whistled near enough.' How? Do you think I sought your poor life f Do you take rue lor a murder ess V 'By no means, my lady.' Do you question then my skill in fhoot- 'Certainly no!.' 'Well then, you shall know my skill. Over your head hangs an apple. Take it in the palm of your hand, nnd stretch your arm out: I'll J?hoot the apple off. Will you wager anything; J' '1 don't like belting of this sort.' Afraid ajiain V 'Man has his weak liourj.' Coward?' scornfully exclaimed the ter rible creature, instantly taking aim ayin directly over my head. Click went the cock. Are you mad V I cried horror-struck ; at the same moment there was a flash, and again the leaves crackled. 1 thought 1 should have fallen to the earth in my ter ror; the monster must certainly have hit my hat. ' fake your hut o.l !' 'Mechanic'.! ly 1 ohpyod. The extraor dinary huntress hod shot a leaf o.-I ol it. 1 trembled in every limb. 'Where uf.- ou Toiti,:;' she tdked. -Not to eiif 'e the itful maiden anew, possible, 'To visit T ! answered as polit" Counsellor Juif'liiliel.' 'Then t;d;e -care cf the Counsellor's djughter,' said she with a laugh, r.i:d van ished in the wood. I gave wings to my feet, in ord.-r in get out of the vicinity of this strjnge being as speedily as possible. 'The deuce!' thought I ; 'have I got into lurkey and the Middle Age:;, where they shoot st pe, merely to while away the time? Who is this dunaerotis woman .' A spectre th.t frightens people, or a living being, wilh flesh and blood! I u ess the loriner. Would a human maiden practise her skill and criminal rashnes-;, by making a mail; of the head of a cjniet traveller? Beautiful, it is true, divinely beautiful : but Heaven keep me from such beauty, which is all resdy, will ye, nill ye, to blow one's brains out. Xo, commend me to my Min na, even if she is not quite, as beautiful as this second William Tell. 'Said this witch, or wood-spirit, or what ever she was said she not,' continued I, in my soliloquy, 'that I min t take care of the Counsellor's daughters? If fhe is one of those dangerous beauties, the sooner I eave H behind me Ine belter. 1 cai- not believe that this wood-witch is a Miss jun, - ;aue. Impossible! only a spirit, a wicked fairy, could behave so.' Although I kept mv eyes about m, the jarful f pparition did not cgain appear; nmj j got out of-, jie l0Vt w;,;;out harm.

A more ro mantic adveniure could hardly well be. Alas! 1 was to be punished Mill more for my presumpii :i. Or.e sins cgainst his fato when he murmurs :.t it. Still greatly discomposed, I passed along the wall which surrounded the beautiful "'at'deii of the Cotincellor. I entered c sna- c;uus court-yard, and inquired of some la borers alter the gentleman o! the house. reter !' cried one of tr.p workmen to a little boy, 'lead the "enl! ter.' C lemun to vour mas- Peter ran forward ; I followed, and soon found myself in the presence of the Coun sellor, who seemed to me as hale and hearty as when I had seen him years belore at my uncle's. He recognised and saluted lue with great cordiality. 'Eight welcome to W ," he cried ; 'I have lor.g hoped to se; you, and have writ ten repeatedly to your uncle to express that hope.' I bowed respectfully. 'Make yourself at home,' he resumed : 'I will have you shown to your room. But first let us break a bottle of genuine Johan ni.'berg together.' The man pleased me. A servant appear ed ut his summons, with wine and refiesh metns. We took our seats. From Ihe win dow, near which we sate, a delightful pros pect was presented. 'It is a pity,' began my worthy host, i 'that, just at the moment ol your arrival, my daughters should all be absent. 1 should be happy to present you to them. 1 trust they will return by the afternoon.' 'I suppose they nre out, visiting,' said I. No,' replied Juughauel, 'tli y ure out upon business.' Bu.-iners !' thought I ; 'what business can young ladies have J' 'However,' resumed the Counsellor, 'that you may have some acquaintance with my lainily, at least in appearance, please to step into the next room, where their por traits hang.' I followed him. But how was it with me, when from the richly gilt frames, the three Graces of Greece seemed to smile down upon ine, n beautiful were the por traits. But at the same instant, what hor ror seized me as I saw that one of the Gra ce was no other than the wood-witch, spec tre, or William Tell, who, a little hour be fore, had almost shot my head oft". This blonde here,' observed Junghauel, is my Louise, the eldest of the daughterly trefoil, a really wild one and a rover; a fine lad is spoiled in her. I call her my Nimrod, because the is so fond ot hunting. 1 don't approve oi girls having such tastes, but sh will outgrow it; and ai the child ii at heart a real angel, I wink at her knightly exercises.' Stfcitcc n the arts, aarfculturr, 'Knightly exercises ?' asked I. 'Certainly,' continued the good papa; 'Louise fishes, rides, shoots, like an old stu dent ; cs I say a fine boy is spoiled in the girl.' As to the your.g girl's shooting,' said I, '1 believe I have alreany, this very morn ing, helped her to some proof of it. She shot a leaf ofT my hat.' Ah, indeed '"exclaimed Junghauel with surprise, you have already made her ac quaintance, then?' I related my adventure. A madcap !' said the Counsellor, with a nnile ; '1 recognize her. But you had no thing to fear ; Louise has a sure eye.' 'Allow me to remark that such manly employments hardly seem fitting for a young lady.' ' True, Imp,' confessed the doting father; you are right. 1 preach to her daily, but it is in fit one ear, and out at the other. If 1 get severe, r.nd knit my brows, the child throws herself sobbing on my neck, promi ses improvement by all the saints in the crdemkr, nnd does not leave me until I look pleannt again. Then away she goes, and all her good resolutions are forgotten ; one cannot resist her, I give it up. We passed row to the portrait of the second daughter, Emi'ie, by name, as beau tiful a brunette as I ever s.-t my eyes on, h'gh commanding beauty ; but here, in the lineaments ot the countenance, a certain in;;nly resolution wa-- cliscrrnable. I stood wilh delight before the picture, and could not tear myself away. The Counsellor ob served with evident phasnrethe interest I look in the picture, an 1 remarked, That is :nv J)'n !':l niiac!i !'

At this very time, sh the arm of a poor has gone to amputate f.d'ow it was the only w.'.y of savin.; his life.' 'A very ck' ;.!ed calling,' I ohsrrveu, al though it seemed to me har-ily the thing for a charming young lady. We turned to" the third portrait, which smiled down upon the spectator no Ies3 charmingly than ihe others, ilich dark curls waved round the blooming Jcaturer.. The fiaturej were softer than those of the others, and spoks mora tenderly to the heart. '1 hope thought r, 'that this lady does not share iu the pursuits of .'imrod and Dief fenb.ich; the looks more gentle and femi nine. ' 'That is my Oken.'f said the Counsellor. 'What! the naturalist ." 'Just so,' continued my cicerone; 'this, my youngest daughter, bears the name ol Ernestine; but I call her my Oken. The maiden is conversant with Natural History, as a professor. Nothing is dearer to her than the study of Natuie, although it has its disagreeables.' 'Disagreeables !' Ay ; you see, my young friend, tho mai den brings home to me, from her wander ings over hill and valley, woods and fields, to many i:gly creatine.', that I have some times nearly lost all patience. There's such a crawling and jumping and twisting ol snakes, lizards, and toads. Ernestine is, besides, a swat friend to spiders, of which sbe Das a very vauui.ie collection, ji you could only procure for l.er a specimen of the American tarantula, you would be ex aked to the very heavens.' shuddered. 'Yes, you should see Oken's boudoir,' re sumed the l.r.ppy father; 'you would not suppose yourself in r-. young lady's cham ber, but in a museum of natural curiosities.' . i it . i ii Ti.e untiieil eeW-r.iled O'lnnun Mirgeon. f Tile li:nm- of I in- V. ;l ::ih'l nalMralnt.
