'Tut evening's dewy breath I feel,
ATI damp anti chill, around me steal ;
Yet; heed I nut, though night's dark veil
May 'make 'My brow a shade more pale :
•
For oh, they've told me, 'Friend :of mine, •
- That bitter sorrow' have been thine :
. And I would weep, that thou shoultrat knots - ,
Su soon, the thorny path of woe
That Natio should twat hia withering
.
That-fondest hopes of yin:tit-should fade,
!tearing thy Pont so doubly lone,
norm's withered buds and Ipve-light flown.
Then let Inc poem, my Friend, With thee;
Pot I have kabwn what 'tie to see
The look of love, that heavenly - ray,
Grow dim In death, and fade away.
As. e'en my lips are thirsting, now.
To press again the cold, white brow
Won° who sleep's the dreands:. slerp,
Who will not wake though Toed one,: wet:v.—
But hark 1 methinks I Imr a tone,
While here I keep my vi;:zil lone,
Fur sweeter than the niglitjiini's song
That's wafted on the breezaalong:—
In whispered accents, soft but deep,
It bid. earth:. lone ones not to weep,—
It tells orhories that know no tomb,
Where fairest Cowers bud and bloom—
Ay. bloom in beauty, not to die.
And bosoms heave no parting sigh,
lint ha-Ii in lore, on that bright shore,
Where death can break the spell no more.
From thr Watchman cod Evrector.
'The - Trottd licart .itnbted.
" Hut if ye forciee at men their tfe,ims , e, , , nei
ther will your . Father forzire your treqnisses."
TUE March wind had darketft down upon
the little•NeA. England -village of ..A.hdale.
It was a pre(iy plane in the summer, lying
between two hills, on whose summits the ah
trees lifted their arms t the sky, all the long
_bright days, as if imploring a benediction, or
Tread theni out lovingly over the white
houses nestled round the one church , in the
vale below.
But to-night it wore F. diGrent aspect. A
storm was upon the hills. little snow and
hail were borne OpAn its wings; but not mileh.,-
fliefly, it was the rime° of the rushing wind ;
Abel; ing the leafless ash trees; hustling against
closed vi:indoWs ; swinging the hell in the old
church tower, till it gave fiirth,now and then,
a dirge-like peal; as if the dead were. tolling
their own requiems.
'Many homes there were where the wild
scene without -ceme'd hut tt-' heighten, by the
force of contrast, the calmwithin—
homes where smiling infanta Islerk warm and
through the twilight, in soft hush of
mother-bosoms, and happy childien gathered
round the knee of father or grand.sire. to
hear again some simple story; or , thoughtful
ones looked into the fire, and titshioned troth
the embers brave castles, in which they were
to.dwell in the coming time,_with, over all,
the sunshine of youth and hope. Twenty
years from now they would look. into the
embers again, and see these 'fair castles, in
which they had never come to abide, with
ruined windows and blackened wails—
" The twilight of memory over alt,'
•
, And the - silencc of death within."
Butt in one house no s;ories were told to
gladden listening ears--no soft evening hymn
hushed slumbering babes to lest--.no child
ren's eager eyes looked into the embers. It
was the stateliu.t bonged)} far, in the little
village--a lofty mansion, gleaming white in
the trees, with the roof supported byMassive
pillars. No where did the evening fire burn
brighter, but into it; looked two old people,
worn and sorrowful, with the shadows of
grief and time upon' their shrivelled faces
two who had fimg,otten, tom* ' ago, their youth's
fair castles ; who, looked hack over wnste
fields , of memory, where not even setting
suu-rays gilded the monuthento built to their.
dead hopes.
They sat silently. They had sat silently

futriiShed room was lighted'only by the wood.
fire's-glow, and in the cotter strange shad-.
ows seem to gather, beckoning hands .and
white brows gleaming spectrally through the
Darkness. Toward them now and then the
wife looked• with anxious, searching gaze ',—
then turned bath again toward the fire, and
clasped her bands over the heart that had
learned through many trials the hard lesson
of patience.. . .
Judge Howard was a stern, selfconeeited
man. In his native) towk-oshere he had
passid all his life, none stood, -higher in the
public esteem. Towards the poor he wa.,
liberal—towards his neighbors just and
'friendly ' • yet, for all that, he was a hard
man, wh ose will was iron, whose habits were
grinile. His-wife had come to know this,
even in her honey-moon. The Inowledgc
was endorsed by her sad, waiting (ace; 'her
restrained manners.
iiis.daughter Caroline, his onlj4hild, bad.

her almost as much an object of -fear as .of

And yet he loved those two with a strength

- At length love came io her. Sbe gave her_

they had heen sent hitek unopenid, and for

the mother looked Aitulderingly into tilt

and almost believed that she saw there tht

she bad but known it! Every outline of
that sad, waiting fiwe, Miley thread of that
silver hair, was dearer tolhim now than when
bridal roses crowned the girl•bOde he had
ebo.cii, but his lips never soothed away the
sadness of that patient Ltee,
"I,t is a terrible night," he said, at length,
raoang hiMself from his long silerice. In the
pause after hia words, you could hear• bow
the wind shook thehouse, groaned among the
trees. and sighed along the garden walk.
" kterrible night," his wife answered,
with a shudder. "God grantt no poor soul
may be out in it, FtleltOrleS..:
" amen mould take in my worst ene
my on such a night as this."
Ilis worst enemy hut we-Ml.llm have tak
en his only child; the daughter with his
blood in her veins, fed once at his board,
warmed at his hearth ? If this queStion
crossed the wife's mind, she gave it nil utter-

"Shall 1 light the candles„ Infos ?" she
asked. rneet iy.
"'Yes, it-is almost bed time. I had for
gotten how lona: we were sitting in the dark.
I will read now, and then we shall be better
in lied."
Ilf drew towards him the Bible, which lay
between the candles she had lighted—it had
been his habit, fur years, to reasLa chapter in
it nightly. Somehow, to-night; the pages
opened at the beautitill, ever new story of
the prodigal son. ' Judge froward read it
thr:ough calmly, but his hand trembled us ha
shut the Book.
"Hannah," he begun, and then -rinsed; as
if his pride - were still too strong to perniit ,
him to confess himself in the wrong. Bitt
soon he proceeded. "11annah, Ido suppose
that was written for an example to those:who
should seek to he numbered with the child

how much I needed to be forgiven r'
The mother's tears were filling still and
fast —she.could not answer. There was si
lence fir a moment, then again the Judge
said, ri4tlessly—" Hannah !" and she looked
op into his-white, moved face.
• " Ilannab, could we. find her Do you
think she lives still—our one child ?" -
" God knows, my hu;band. Sometimes 1
think she i§ dead. — I see her fats on dark
nights, and it wears a look of heavenly peace.
In the winds 1 hear a voice that sou n ds like
hers; and she seems trying to tell use she has
found rest. • But no, no T—her face liindled
—" she is not dead. 111sel it in - my
God will lt;t us see her once more—l am her
mother. .1 shall not my hisses have
rested on her cheek, my hand touched her
hair. I believe I have a pi!omise, Rufus."
"Goal grant it, Hannah!" and after those
words they-both sat silently, again, listening,
—I istening—listening.
They had not heard the door open,but now
a 'Step sounded in the hall, and the door of
the room where they sat was "softly unclosed.
They botb.started up—perhaps they half ex
pected to see Caroline, but it was only their
next doer neighbor, holding by the hand a
child. She spoke eitgerly, in a half confused
Way, which they did not notice
"This child came to my house, Judge, but
I hadn't room to keep her, so I brought her
over here. Will you take her in'?"
"Surely, surely. Come here, poor child."
Who had ever heard Judge Howard's
voice so gentle? The little girl 'seemed
I somewhat reassured by it. She crept to 'his
knee nod lifted up her face. The Judge bent
over her. Whose were those blue deep eyes?

hair, like the shell of a ripe chestnut? Did
he not know those small, sweet features, that,

your name ?"
"Grace," and the thild'lrtmbled visibly. .

the face, Judge. It is a copy of one which
belonged once to the brightest aml prettiest

The °I Clmin—he looked
very r

shaken by the tempest in his strung heart, as
the wind shook the trees outside-4rew the
child to his : bosom, with an eager, hungry
look. His arms closed around her as if they
would hold her there forever. -,.

a thought pierced-her, quick and keen as the

looked piteously into the neighbor's eyes.
"Isshe,an orphan? Where is her moth

The Judge beard -her and lifted uP his

Have pity and teliiite where is Caroline?"
Before the woman could-answer, an eager

GEN• WASHINGTON'S FIRST LOVE
A cetotrApoNear of liii anfury-in giving
.some-reminiscences oftlie old : country seat
called "The Cottage,' in 'Hanover County,
Virginia, gives en account of General Wash
- ington's suit, to and rejection by Mary Cary :
1 " Ver father was Wilson Cary. Esq., of
"Coleys." in the county of Elizabeth City, de.
I seended from the noble family of Ilimsdoo,
in England. Ilia relative, Col. Archibald
eery, of " A mpthlll," in Chesterfield, was at
hie death the heir-apparent -to• the earldom.
The worthy old gentitiman seems, from all
we know of him, to have been as proud us
the Courcys or the Somersets; and to have
thoireht his family the noblest in the land.—
Ile lived in great state, with chariot and
I
bones, plate and velvet and embroidery-s-ii
I-worthy of the old school, fully satisfied with
i•the "order of things," ILIA enjoying -ser enely
the good gifts of Providence. Ilk beautiful
l daughter was a great heireesy and had many
I suitors—the accident which befell one of
them has made bey remembered in many
books. He was a young man of very high
eh:loader, a relative of Geo. Wm. 'Fairfax,
lII_ who lived at Belvoir, on the Potomac;
and here he met with Miss Cary; who came
to visit lirti. Fairfax, her eldest sister. The
young man at once proceeded to fell in love,
labia ho did with air ardor characteristic of
his nature. When Miss Cary went back
home to "Celoye," , on James River s he 'fol
lowed her like a courageous gallant, and laid
open siege to the fair fortress. In the good
074 times, however, something more was
'neCtsisary than the consent of the young-Jody;
and so the youth duly asked a private - inter
view with the awful old lord of the manor,
Who listened to himgjlently throughout.—
When the lover had finished, Mr. Cary roes,
made him a low bow, and . said' that tf this
were young Mr. Washington's errand at " Ce
le
vs," his visit Wl,..lietter terminate; -
,his
"daughter had been accustomed to, ride in
her. own chariot." And with this allusion to
- the poor conclitiotr of the younger son, the in-,
terview terminated. Young; Washington
bowed and, turned- away, and in due time
married Martha - Dandridge Curitis, who "ye
sembled Miss Cary," says my nutliority,: l us
much as one twin sister ever , did another."
But the old - tradition does not endhere.—
Wiry years fled away—Mary Guy was Mrs.
Ambler—and her discarded suitor was she
man who had just -received the sword •of
1 Corrovallia at Yorktown;- whom the whole
civilized world kited, as the greatest among
'the grunt--" the - foremost man„ not only of
America but of " all the world." Ile passed
through the old metropolis, Williamsburg,
at the head of his victorions troops, and the
'people were crazy with joy and adoration al
most. The vast multitude nearly prevented
his horse from proceeding—the calm statue
on horseback passed on serenely. All to
once he perceived at a windosk.- or in the
crowd, his old love, Mary Cary. He raised
his sword and-saluted her profoundly. She
fainted. ~- .
But it does not seem that the lovely wo
man was to blame. She had not been able
to return the affection of the youth—that was
all. She married him who won her heart,
Edward Ambler. Ile was not unworto of
this noble lady in rank orin iharneter. He
was descended-through his 'mother from the
great Huguenot house of La Roche Jeep/cline,
in Vendee, and inherited-the honest instincts
of his race. At twelve he. had been sent for
his education to England; he graduated at
'Cambridge, and then made the grand tour of
Europe; returning to Virginia when he was
twenty-one. Ile was married to Miss Cary
soon afterward ; UN:nine Collector at York,
and wasao - tnucb respected that when Lord
Bottetonrt came to Virginia'as Governor; he
brought a letter of introduction to the% Col
lector. He died at thirty-five; and the Rec.
olutionary War breaking oat soon afterward,
his beautiful widow moved away from the
!scene of her grief, *and took refuge in the
"Cottage," far up in Hanover."

" Oh I" said she; mighty 'smiling,
ain't gem' to have preaching ; a few young .,
persons eflhe congrtgation, who seem to
take a deeper interest in the church's welfare
than the members themselves, desire to pur
chase a few indispensable articles for the
nicetin' house; and we thought
,if all the
church would present us cakes and. pies,.and
meats and such things, we would appoint
night to sell thein in the vestry of the church,
and take the proceeds to buy the necessary
things. 'The plan is well received, especially,
by the young ,' You know the money ,is to
be spent for charitable purposes, and on that
account everything given us will sell for
double its value,"

was so rimelt Wisdom left in the - world, as: to
have conjured , up -that," sez I. -

will you give? You live on a farm, and -the
farmers produce.luts of things that 'would be

-would be as much as anybody could expect

Night in a Xifctinit.
following sketch is foundo on a fact
which occurred in the experience of a distin
guished legal gentleman of Virginia:}
A fine sum merliay was 'drawing' to a close
its Mr. T., after dining pith 'a brother laivi f l
yer, mounted his horse to ride liome.
had been entertained with the gentle and gen
ial hospitality of the Old Dominion, and Telt'
that agreeable stimnius:of the animal spirits
which follo*s in the 'train of &moderate din-.
ner among congenial friends. Ile, had de
qayed the tootnent of departure its long as
possible, though the ride-home was a long'
cane, beeause he would have a full Moon to
light him on his way, and the air would be
codler after bightfifil ; so that 'it was with
none but the most agreeable _emotions he
bade-adieu to his friends, loosened the bridle
of his horse, and turned into the road which
led through the forest.
• To a native sense of the beauty and 6icel.
lenge of nature, Mr. I'. added that refine
ment-of hi.ste l which is the result of careful
mental culture, and" a buoyancy of feeling
whickesc.c.ss had . .neyer.delled. • Ile enjoyed
the serene silence, of eveniniin the hirest—
the varied lights and'shades on rock and tree --
and stream, and the peculiar air of majestic
repose which nature- wears in the recesses -of
her woodland solitudes. The silence was
interrupted only by the sound of his horse's
feet over tie even road, and the occasional
note of a bird, or-the croak of a fiog—a pre
lude tof the evening'sca ncer% The sceet of
the evening air was delicious and refreshing,
after the heat of the day. • In short, so pleas
urable were his emotions that 'Mr. T. rode
along at a very easy ;pace, ar,d it
_was only
when the rapid increase of, the darkness
warned him of the approach..of night, yythat
he began to urge his horse to m greater sWift
