LOVE AND LOYALTY.
The town of G—, ( on the Ohio river, 'was
originally settled by French emigrants,
prin
cipslly royalists, many of whom preserve, 11
thisl day, their national character, customs and
prejhdices. Among these was one family of
rank, distinguished for refinement and intel-;
ligebce; who 'having emigrated on the first ;
lowering of the storm which convulsed all ;
Europe; were enabled to bring with them a
considerable portion of their once princely for
tunef This family consisted of old Jean Do-
formerly' an officer at the court of the:
unfortunate Louis, and still a faithful tind fiery
hear l rd eoyalist; his daughter, an only o child,
gay,lcharming c pretty and petite, with 3ulie
for lier name; his nephew, Juquesie Brun, ;
a scholar and a gentleman, tall enough for a'
grenadier, but with an amount of modesty

Now;

a cold smile on his lip,

in eighteen \ l2undred and forty eight, for she is
11l ing yet.
..
The young husband, Pierre Loraine, who
had been about two yeaki in America, was
1..... ----, t,lng t sou nag already enter
ed u po n an exten-ive trading bw.iness, on the
Ohio' awl Aiissiesippi livers. After his mar-.
riag(', he remained %silk his wife, at the house
of her father. until the aut u mu, when his busi
nes, called him to Loui=s ille. Ile parted from
his qieml N ; with a cheerful smile on his fine
thank face—tenderly unwinding the small
whist( akos nf.poor Julie, who clung steeping
about his neck to the la-t, agonized ss ith those
dark nresentment, which ever haunt the heart
of a !swim , ' woman.
MLitt): had passed by, bringing most affhc
tionae, though from the want of direct com
munication, very narequent letters from the
ah-cult LdrAine. It was now the dead of win
ter, isCul his return was looked for daily and
anAii usly.
1
One bright, frosty morning, Julie vas stanl
ding it the uindow of the common parlor o ,
lookit g toward the 'river, with fixed and drsif
my e; es, the heart within her hourly becdm
, log heavy, and sick with hope deferred!'—
Agait st the wainscot at her side, leaned the
pale and devoted Jaques—cherishing still for
his far cousin a holy and unalteMble afreet ion
t
—a lo •c‘ as pure and unseen as a crystal hid
in the (Isom of a rock.
Stal lenly the eyes of both were attracted to
a part . : of torn, coming up from the bank of
the riser, led by old Jean Dulaire. - As Only
drew t ear,the house, Julie was struck by the
mantle- of her father, and the expression of 1
his file?. He walked deferentially, yet :fi.otid
ly; he seemed both happy nod sorrowful, and
in his eye sluCne the light of a sentiment, with
him, troentleman of the old i'• gime, true as,
relighi, and ardent as love—loya ll y.
The strang,ers were dressed as travelers, at
that infhement season of the year, should be
dressed— with comfortable plainness, es en
roughness. 'Two of them were evidently but
common b atmen, but the three iii advance.,
1 ,
who ue l re young and handsome, though st rong
and hardy-looking, had about them that name
less grace, that air of superiority, of refine-1
menti of Je ne sots poi, "which always, and I
in un - sit flat tons, distino•nis hes gentlemen, the
s
truly noble, wherever they are found. -1
Julie and Jaques were hardly surprised when I
they were presented to three of the princely
members of the royal family of Prance—the
Hoc &Orleans,* Due de Montpensier and the
Count de Beaujolais. ~
Afterbrealtlasting with their friends, these
brave and adventurous yonng 'princes related
enough 1.4 their recent history to account fur
their prkent situation and undertaktng. Af
ter many months traveling through various
parts of the United States, they-had' heard,
while resting for a time in New York, of the
new law, expelling all the Bourbon family from
France, and that their noble mother had been
deported to Spain. Their object was to join
her; but
‘ owing to the then existing war be-1
tween Englandprid Spain, this object was not
easily attained.' To avoid French cruisers
upon the coast, they determined to repair to
New Orleans, and from thence to Havana,
whence they thought to take ship for i Hutepe.
They crossed the Allegheny mountains :to
Pittsburgh, in DeceMber. • At that place, they
purchased a keel-boat, hired two persons to
aid them in their navigation, and thus descen
ded the Ohio.
They found that the immense quantities of

111 , t these heroic young 'men talked freely
and (rally of their hardships and misfortunes
—th IS showing that their originally fine ma
ture had not been spoiled by aristocratic
habits arid Juxti Hotta living.
As / the day of their arrival was extremely
cold,the travelers remained:with the emigrant
family; but the following being milder, they
took leave at an early hour, ' The eldest
lirother, the Duc d' Orleans, his majesty, the
present King of France, as ho bent - to kiss

The excitement of this interesting 'visit

lOne day as he %cav walking his room, leaning
lon the arm of his nephew, Jaques Le Brun,
he dwdit freely oil the event of his death,
I which at best he believed could not he far dis-
Itant. eeing that Jaques appeared to be

"Yot should not grieve for me, my son. I

of my I fe, my dear and devoted child, my
Julie, widowed and unprotected.
"Stay!" cried Jaques, "have you forgotten
me?—xyl I not remain her protector and
friend—Jher own trne-hearted brother?''
"Ah, my good : Jaques, you have not that

relation 'by nature a and the world wild noi al

"I were the happiest man living!" exclaim
ed Jaques in a quick, fervent tone.
'llulaqe turned, and lociking with . earnest
ness int the face of his young companion,
said—" i nd so, JaqueS, you love my Julie'!''
"Oh,i bele, next to he holy mother, I adore
heit! Y i she has nev 'r knoivti my love; wild
and hop less as it his ver been."
-"Poor Jaques! how much most you have
suTered nd I never divined it. Ah, there is
much be ore our eyes that we never see. But
Julie ma t yet be yours. ' With not a doubt,
Loraine is long since dead ; for he was
not a ma to forsake a wifei and such a wife.
To you, iy good Jaques, I could resign my
child, un afterwards sink tranquilly to the
last slee . '(.40, 'and Call her—l will talk

Jaques summoned his cousin, and for the
next hal hour . walked the 'hall Without, in ;a
state of fearful uncertainty. At length;
hearingis name softly called, he hesitating
lyl re-ent red the room. His first glance at
his uncles face reassured him; but
. he saw
that his cousin had been weeping, and h,er
voice was l tremulous,' though her words wero
calm, as he said— r

that you loved me, Jaques. I must have
pained you many times by My liglitres . s, in
the days gone by. I know that should lletiven
t a ke my father from me, I shopld lie quite
unprotected; wo should then be alone in the
world; have never thought of you
as a husband, but I have loved you as Well as
a brother, and I thinkWe could be happy to

'pressed it passionately to his lip s .-- ) . ) . ) ,T e li e
withdrew it hurrledly, saying—Micar me out,
I entreat you, coltsin. cannot be your wife
while there is one remaining doubt of my be

and shouldlPierre some day returnz—oh God,
what misery tor us all! No, no, ask me not

Here, clasping her hands, she crie,l,i in a
tone of the most touching sorrow-:-"Oh,
Pierre, Pierre, where have - they laid_ your

she wept with all the wild grief of a first be

forth, had been laid bY stranger hands ,be
-neat!) a stranger soil-+was wasting on the
the. air of th l e wilderness, or mouldering be
neath sea-wftwee, "a thousand fathomsdown."
Julie's rerhition continued unshaken q
the advice of, her father, and the entreaies of
her lover; and the result was, that, lin the
course of a week, Jaques set forth On the
strangest pilgrimage of modern times-,,an
expedition to discover indubimble' pronfal of
the widowhood of the l'ody of t his love:
- Hopes l and fears'chasedeatth otter through
his heart, as - he kissed the hrow of, his cousin
in parting, and looking:itito her btu eie, saw
there a faintsmile fltruggling wi a tear—
that beautiful strife_ which we sometimes
mark in tho cup ofa violet, when the dew
would quench the sunshine and the sunshine
would drink upithe deWk
Our enamored Pilgrim traveled bit slowly,
in those anti-steam-navigation-times, and it
was many weary days before he reached Lou,
isville, the place in which Loraine had kilt
been known to be. It was a sunny May
morning when he landed, and strolled through
the principal street of that inconsiderable
town; and s 'uot even the thought of his strange
mournful mission could sadden,his spirits, in
pleasant unison with the joyous season. We
may chide him - that he is eager to, pluck the
flower, 'happiness, though At. nod over the
grave f his friend; but do we Stay to; ask
wileSe life was the cost-of rnuch l that we! en
joy? \
Sod enly Le Brun remarked a stranger
comin towards him, whose light, springing
steir, and black curls were surely fami
liar to his eye. But no—this yoting man wore
a foreign dress, arid Li large_moustuctre,
Nearer he cameand, graciouslleavens! it
was no other than the lott Lorain¢i! Jaques
became deathly pale; and staggered as though
struck by a heavy blow! ?lope :ma joy died
within him, and a wild and (nail) feeling
grappled at his hetirt. lied qiiick, stern
thonglits.heen good sharp steel, Loraine had
.then fallen, pierced by more - dagger-points
than freed the soul of Cresur!
But Jaques' nature was too essentially gen-'
erous and gond to cherish suck deadly feel
ings as these; the reaction was sudden and
perfect, a moral revolution. Ilk afrection
for his old friend came back, and with , ' it the
bitterest remorse; and when Loraine, on re
cognizing him sprang toward him with all
the frank cordiality of a brother, he shrank
from the embrace of the man he had wrong
ed, aoadeqd in his thought, mid every kind
word of the wanderer now tore into his heart
like the fragment of tkl shell! ' But ere Lo
raine could remark upolk his seemingeoldness,
another change came over him—he returned
that err,biace with l fert,or, and on the breast
of his friend, -renounced the ,sweet, vain
dream of his lute. He Was aroused, by the
wild, hurried inquires of Pierre—" What •of
my Julie?—what of her father? tell me, Ja
ques, for God's s•ake tell me!".
"They live, and love 'you, still—come, let
us lose no time in going to them."

It was the eve la the first of June, and a
fit birth-night was it for that rose-crowned
queen of the changing' months. The stars
were unusually brilliant' i l a honor -of the
great occasion, and freshness, fragrance and
moonlight were abroad.
Let us look a few moments into t'ie quiet
home of eufOroine; bl i the Ipleasant little
parlor we fi nd her, with her venerable father
who is looking in fur better health thin a
few months since he had hoped ever to enjoy.
He is seated in his luxurious arm-chair, with
his feet rcstittg on a stool, embroidered by the

"It was rather lat< l in the winter when

to stop nwhile'at some small settlements on

a number of men, which had become encom

persuade no one to 0 with me in a' boat to
the assistance of the, btrangers, so I took a
long poll in my hand'and ivalked to them, on

I reached the, boat iu safety, and; foond—ah,
yau will scarcely belie%e ine:when I say that
I found three of those men to be our young

They, had come in this manner, the brave
young men, all the way from Pittsburg.. But
I forgetyou must know of their underta

I soon got them free oil the ice, and brought
them: safely to the Then it was
that his highness, and his highness' noble

the story of my strang,ccfortnne, and gave the

while my companions slumbered around me.

my eyes to look for those stars I used to

boat, -two bright, red light, —not stars, but
the fiery eyes of a panthir, whose dusky form
I could just perceive. He was evidently

was his se c' et care—he hdd contemplated a,
union with iis cousin, while her husband yet
lived, and this innocent treason Pierre was
yet ignoran 1. The sensitive l and honorable
nature of y wig Le Bruti - fevolted from the

earnestly de ired that Loraino should know
all, but shrunk from being himself the re
venter. ,

the rose-shaled portico uhich fronted the
garden, he e itreuted her to confide to her hus

ceded to by I erself, with the condition which
'had led to hi. own singular pilgrimage.

reading in an arbour in the garden, immedi
atly sought lis side. '.

pillar, and co .e y ed his face with hi •ha cds.
At length he heared Loraine comin 4hastily
up the garde, walk—but he did lot look
around, or lift his head. Suddenly a hand
was laid on hi; shoulder, and a pleas nt voice
