LEGEND OF TILE CHM:TED OAK OF CONNECTICUT
81* LIEN : PElt LEV POORE
It was near the close of a 'beautiful October
day, in the year 1f586; that a man approached
the town of Ilartfoni, rn Connecticut, by the
road leading from New ha ven. _ At that time,
the valley of the Connecticut was densely
wooded, affording, at that golden season of tire
rear, every variety of tint that-nature can dis
play. The maple was gorgeously beautiful :
the chestnuts were of a deep yellow ; other
species of trees had put on a motley li‘ cry, and
the elms that bordered the highway were
clothed in fohar,e of varied hues, from a lively
green to the deepest orange, all mingling, by
the nicest gradations of shades, like the pris
matic colors. As he entered the main street.
'n.fie western waves of ebbing day" poured a
flood of glisteninglight upon the diamond-paned
casements, in the eastern fronts of the houses ;
while beyond was the broad Conocticut, sTark
ling like a mirror. The overhanging arch was
of 'a lovely azure. studded here and there with
fleecy clouds ; while high in zenith was the
silver moon, only awaiting the retreat of her
eclipsing orb to shed a more chaste light upon
the lovely scene.
The young man was a .fine specimen of the
sttirdy colonist of those days. Born in Deer
liehr,This infant slumbers had often been dis.
turbed by the preparations of his father-lbr de
fence, when the war-whoop of the savage re
sounded through the surrounding forests. The
rifle was familiar to him
,in boyhood, and al
though he now carried -on a farm at Middle
town, he had nut entir clvy relinquished his fond
ness for forest sports. We have said that he
was young, but his electric black eye, compress
ed lip, and gallant horsemanship, showed that
Everard IValthain could both think and act for
himself, and was, therefbre, well ituahhtql to
represent his townsmen in the General Assem
bly, then in session. •
Entering the main street, even then a beau
tiful avenue., Everard l\ al dram rode slowly
along. occasionally bowing to some acquain
tance, or speaking to one of the lads who were
driving Ironic the cows, kept at nearly every
house, and mingling their shrill cries'with the
musical tinkle of the bellS. At last, however,
his gaze encountered a couple, ,vhieh drew a
half-suppressed oath front his pouting lips.
Applying the spur to his horse, the high-met
tied 'animal sprang, to the other side of the
road, and he thus had a good pretence for neg
; lecting to salute thenv. In a few moments
more me bad reached the lamed bostelrie near
the site of the present State llouse, and dis
wounting, threw his bridle to a 11(.810 hostler.

And sitting moodily down, - he a brooded lung
over his faithless fair one.
• At length the bell rang nine. and Fverard,
Nvlien the last stroke had died 'into silence,
went out. The ronad moon was' floating in
the heavens, and the shadows of the many
gabled houses lay darkly upon the foot-ways,
save where the clear beams stole through the
garden spaces, checking the beaten paths with
the mosaic light and slunk of the intervening
trees. All was quiet. for in those days people
retired early, to rise with the sun, and. Everard
met no one as his steps insensibly led hint to
the residence of Henrietta Morley. The plaint
of the whip-pour-wilt, and an occasional hoot
from sonic wandering bird of wisdom, or the
busy hunt of nocturnal insects, alone broke
upon the ear.
But calm as'was the night. it failed to soothe
the excited feelings of liverard, and when he
approached the home of her who had thus won
his love to trail it in the dust, he witnessed a
scene that gave a demoniacal expression to his
features. The door of Morley's house was

stood Ilenrietta. Nor was she alone. Stand
ing on the door-stone, and thus with back
toward the street, was a twin, wrapped in a
long cloak, with whom Ilenrietta was earnest,
ly eunveming. Everard felt an electric thrill
of rage convulse his frame, for he had not the
least doubt as to the roan~ identity, and with
Hashing . eyes he clenched the sword hilt. At
last the interview was ended, and the stranger
walked rapidly away ; but Everard followed.

compressed together. Ile would obtain satis
faction, or the man who had thus stepped be
tween himself and happiness should die like a
dog. hut the unknown evidently heard pur
suing fbotsteps, and quickened his own into a
run. liverard followed, but when opposite the
-Wylys Mansion," he lost sight of the object'
of his pursuit. The great -oak stood clearly
developed above his head, and the beautiful
river, a short distance beyond, was plainly
discernible through the openings of the trees,
yet there was -no • sign of oily human being.
After waiting sonic time,, he slOwly retraced
his steps -to the tavern, where,--in agitated
slumbers, he dreamed of lienrietta and his
more favored rival.
When erard arose in the morning, he'
found the town in-an uproar, and learned, for
the lirst time, that Sir Edintind Audios was
expected to arrive from Boston. In vain had
the colony plead its chartered rights to the
hing—he had deternfine d - l -o subdue the per

turning to his hotel. he found a piessing invi
tation to go that evening to the hone wil
'dam Wad sworth, upon important business. - -
An association of "liberty men," were to tneet
there, and he went as one of them.
The meeting was well attended, and when
they wire all seated around a hospitable board,
Fverard learned, rather to his surprise. that
the royal charter had been abstracted_ in ac
cordance to a preconcerted plan, and by their
host.
"Nit where is it ?"
"Where I took shelter last night, when a
jealous mortal pursued Ole," said Mr. Wails

his astonishment, ,he continued : "After all.

Ere an hour had elapsed', Everard Waltham

even, made the fair Henrietta name the 'wed

rd to be instructed in such of the mysteries of
telegraphing us the operators could or would
infiwin hitn—such as would not interfere with
I
the secrets of the ollice. The obliging _opera-
tor proceeded to do so, and in the. course of his!
instructions explained to the . freshman the.;
operandi of telegraphic writing. It
should be known that at one of the stations
' west. of this city, in die small but enterprising
village of D—, a female—die schoolmistress
of the'village -is the operator ol the telegraph
station. While the operator iu this city was
going through
,his explanations, the
otlice called Albany. and made a business in- .
iptiry, to which an answer was returned' by
the Albany operator, who, in a pi ofessional
manner, inquired the triune of the mix - ion:On-.
quit er, and sent it with-the gentli;man'a corn
pliments, to the - office (which thelemide
had charge of). Miss (we mean the
operator)-replied, returning her compliments,
and gave the state of the weather, &c., at
The gentleman wits -iimansely" - delighted, at
die idea of interrogating a person. and that pct.-
son a female, one hundred and fifty miles dis
tant, and through the kindness of the operator
addressed several interrogatories to her, all of
which were answered in a most gt atifying man
ner. The novice in telegraphing was delighted,
not to say enclianted. lie called again , the
next day, and persnaded die operator to again
stint-mons the ollice. Again did he en

the (Mice, and its very übliging opera
tor, each day beeotiting more and Attire inter
ested. The subject of disconrse, too; Willi Ina-'
le rialle .changed, inasmuch that-the Albany
operator began to feel `in' rather a "peculiar
predicament," he - being a sort of wed - hon.
through which two levers Were

to call fir a space of two weeks, each - day grow-
ion more interested, until 'at-last he put the
question, direct alld 1411111 p: "Will you marry,

fast institution, and those who arc connected
with it bteoine •• fast," as i f by The
