A Ballad.
BV MRS. R. . NICHOLS.
The (lark moulJ has hidden her lover from
view
Ho sleeps where the long grass is bending
wilh dew
Tho storm wind may waken nnd rush o'er
the land,
Yet stir not the blossoms that drop from his
hand.
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.
And he feil when he fust drew his sword
fieri iU i est !
Not far from the sea-shore they made him a
grav.'.
And laid liim to sleep by the lpv.-moaning
wave :
In his hand are tlio blossoms he crasped as he
fell '
And hisshnitnl is the banner he loved but too
well.
She heard ef the triumphs her country had
won.
And bold deeds were sung that ihe brave
hearts had done ;
But naught ef that oxt: who was dearer than
"lifu
Whose footsteps was foremost w hen hottest
the siiil'e.
They dared not to whisper the truth in her
ear.
The ii i iu 1 1 . ol
' affection o'er came them with
I, 'in
1 li-v told her to
i hope-ih.it the war-cry should
cease.
Am! her lover return wilh the tidings of peace.
Her robes, reen and silken, the spring had
Ulirnileil.
And hill-side and meadow, were dotted with
gold
The u-ii'.pest were chained in their caverns
lisleip!
And music nnd gladness swept over the
deep :
They watched for him morning and evening in
vain
Till the sickle was thrust in the tall ripening
grain
Till the harvest was ended the summer was
o'er.
And the wheel-sheaves lay loose on the white
threshing Hour.
The hope in her bosomj drooped, sickened and
men,
An. I death gently came to the soldier's young
bride ;
He breathed on her beauty and blighted her
bloom,
And folded her arms in the night of the
tomb.
It is said that afar by the Mexican wave,
H time the star spangled banner etishroudeth
tho biave,
When the moon's at her full and the heavens
tre briaht,
Two spirits me seen at the dead of the night.
They wisper like lovers liko lover they
seem,
And walk in the moonlight like ghost in a
dream,
Each suniiv-bioweii maiden their story can
tell.
And point out the spot where the young hero
tell.

THE DANGEROUS BEAUTIES.
I' 11051 Tilt: CKKMAN OF K. fTOM.E.
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.'

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.'

'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.
One ct:-ht never to be presumptuous. I

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 !'

repeated with a smile,
skilful surgeon and op-
eralor in the whole country round. 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.'

of General Jackson, w hich cannot fail to be

of lh.it remarkable man. Mr. Itives tells lis
that it was not only his fortune to bo ''patron,

his gooil luck to know mora nbout his w ri

years of his life than these most near and
