Just seventeen years ago, Eliza Murray was in-the prime of young and. maidenly beauty, ns lair'as tlie rose that blossoms, in the cultivated garden of art, as gentle as the lilly that bends its head to .flies"summer zephyr, and yet at times as wild and reck less as the-playful-school boy thatrsportsbnd plays on the edge of the rocky precipice.— She was just such a thing as youth would love. I have seen her in the midst of gaiety, ■with a dimple in her cheek, and a pluyful ness in her manner, which infused its influ ence on all those around her. Many an eye was turned upon such times with delight, and many a memory frequently called Up to mind that played, upon her countenance when directed towards her. She was at such times in her proper ■ sphere,. for the whole cast of her character beamed forth; it spoke in'the playful throw of a well turned arm, in the graceful movement of a sylph like form, and in the merry step of a'pretty foot. Yet,.with’ a natural volatility, she. possessed a . noble and generous hearth In her intercourse with'.socicly; it was her in ; tentioiV-to pursue a correct' and 1 honorable course—but.she herself*. The winning grace of beauty, the smile of gaiety and the power of fashiort, never j failed to draw" admirers around the formjrf | a woman. Eliza Slurry knew the truth'"of ; this; she felt the fuflTurco of her attractions, ..iflhe could- read them in the.pleasure- which rher shile gave in many, eyes 'Which"rested; m : jin anu~&e.wcr of; cu>? - that joy and merrimpnt so blended with ear? ly youth; 1 V Dancing along then, in the hey-day of her conquest, she had still felt at times tlie uw lluence which passion is ever exerting over s!ie torgot in'tile moment of its reception her prumisc to Henry. But when alone her sit uation was viewed in its proper.light. The card had been taken—go she must—and yet She knew. it. was wrong, hut ho would lor give'ine; thought she, and moving at a.mp ment before her mirror, she smiled with sat isfaction, .then putting on ah arch look dan ced merrily away,'With the exclamation ‘he cannot. withstand .that.’ But her beauty possessed not the power she ilhagined. lie visited her the evening after the even ing, bull, talked over the forfeiture of her word qooly, and asked her plainly if sbe thought she jiad acted correctly. Instead of freely acknowledging her error, she dwelt with apparent delight upon the gay scene of the ball, told; i)f the merry company present,, pf the politeness of her, partner, and in the -end-cndeavored -to ridicule“thc — idea ofdiis being offended.- It was enough—they parted. ‘Years rolled on—they mingled-together in the merry scene—surrounded by the so cial fire-side—but the delight which affec tion for each other had thrown over the sil very moments they had’ spent together had ceased. Cold familiurity.and distant polite ness had assumed its place. 1 saw both, v, -'Henry English had chosen one who had chosen no other recommendation but mind and person. Wealth did not throw her wreallf of splendor and power around her brow. But sweet and simple, innocent in in person and mind,.rich in the variety of youth/ gave to her, charms a more alluring influence? than all the splendor that wealth’ brings in it's train. Unaided they comnien ced the ivorld, industry their reliance,-econo my'its helpiiiate. , ‘ . The gallant who had been the partner of Eliza-Murry at the ball, became in time, her husband. ’ He was one calculated to. please amid the gaiety pf youthful society, but un fit for the more serious and substantial af fairs,of life.. Such, was the hasty 1 idea I formed as I witnessed’the wedding nies. But Eliza then Wore the same gay and smiling • countenance, and the same laughing lip. spoke of present happiness, when she bid the wedding party welcome, as she used to wear when she'could claim, protection from Henry -English;' • . .

One.neat and elegant mansion had arisen on a spot singularly beautiful, to which the hands of industry and art had given all,their aidt— that spot, was the residence of Henry Eng-, lish. ■ o*- Different, vciy different, had'been, the course of another. Eliza Murry, poof girl,' wove for herself a cruel destiny. The duty she was called upon to perform was of ho ordinary dissipated husband to win back to her and happiness if possible, Lit? tie ones to watch over and provide for with mother’s anxiety. .It,was too much—she sunk beneath the weight-of.’it, and ieft two Orphan children. Henry English stepped forward and became their parent. >T saw them both on my first visit lo English’s, sit ting on the green. > To those youilg ladies who peruse this crude and simple tale, I have but a word to shy in matters of . courtship, let promises, however trifling, bo adhered to with the strictest faitJo. A confidence placed, by lovers, theft, and.not betrayed will never be.- —Se?. In 1782, Wheeling, Va., was besieged by a large army of British and Indians. ,So sudden was the attack made, that no time was afforded fur preparation. The fort at •the lime’of tne assault, was-commanded,by Coi. Sillis Col; Efiertezer Zane, the senior officer, was in >a block-house, some fifty or a hundred yards outside the walk— Tlie enemy made-several desperate assaults to break into the fort, but on every onset" they "were driven back; The ammunition for the-dcfence of the fort was deposited in i tlie. and, the attack Was made so suddenly add unexpectedly that there was' no time to remove it. On the'afternuon ol the second day of the seige, the powder in the fort was nearly exhausted, ami no al ternative remained, but that some one must pass through the enemy’s .fire to the-filuck housc for powder. VVhen Silas Zane nbnle the" proposition to the men, tosee if any one would undertake the hazanluous enterprise —at first all were silent. Alter looking at each other fur some time a.young inan -piep ped forward and said he would run the chance. Immediately' a half dozen offered their services in the dangerous enterprise.' While they were disputing about who should go, Elizabeth, sister of Zane, came forward and declared she would go.for the powder. Her brother thought she would flinch from the enterprise, but he was mistaken. She had intrepidity to dare, and fortitude to-bear up in the heroic risk of life. Her brother then tried to dissuade her from the attempt by saying a nian would be more fleet, and consequently would run less risk of losing his life. She replied- that they hail not a man to spare from the defence of: the, fort, and if she should full, she Would scarcely be missed. -She then divested herself of such of her clothing as would impede her speed; The gate was opened, and she bounced out at the top of her speed.ifnd run till she ar rived, at the dour of the block-house; her brother, Col. Zane, 1 hastened, to open the door to receive his intrepid sister. The In dians when they saw her .bound forward did not fire a gunvy.but called aloud, “squaw, squaw, "squaw. When -she had told her brother the,'errand on which she came he took a table cloth and fastened it round her waist, and pou rcdSn to it a keg.uf powder! She then sallied back tp the fort with all the buoyancy of hope.' The moment she was outside of the blockdiouse, the whole of the 1 enemy’s line poured a leaden storm at her, but the balls went innocently whistling by without doing bey any injury. She after wards-married a Mr. Clarke, raised a family of children, aril is yet alive, living near St. Clairsville, State. Such was Eliza beth JSane,.
