And he impressed kisses upon her forehead,

on the air. At length, desiending's little bill he
became lost to sight, and Lidgtte, sad and despon
ding, proceeded to the farm.
It was the period of Napoleon's last campaign ;
the flower of young France had been drawn by'
conscription to the camp, and youthful enterprise
found a ready field for exertion. Ernest Du taunt,
who bad been always one of the gayest and bold
est youths of the Village, had, at an earliet period,'
entered the army, and through his bravery obtain
ed a commission. Many were the hearts of the
village belles that fluttered when Ernest reappear
ed in his gay uniform, and with his accustomed
gallantry, paid compliments to each. But altho'
Ernest was delighted to be admired by the fair,
his chief thoughts were devoted to the profession
of arms--glory was what he coveted—the camp
was his chosen home. Lisette was chanied by
his good looks and his engaging manners. When
ho Wu present she, did not think of the months
be would be away: She bad a cheerful home at
the farm, and the time passed pleasantly.
have
said farmer Laval to his reapers', "you
have labored hard today, and I will therefore open
a cask of wine fur you, and we will finish the
evening with a dance." The reapers were de
lighted with the proposition, acid the neighboring
farmers, their wives and daughters, being nom.
!noised to partake of Laval's hospitality, quickly
attended in their U•st looks and best clothes ; and
for a wonder, there was not en envious counte
nance among the ladies !
' "Now, take your partners,7 said farmer Laval,
and the command was soon obeyed. -"What , !"
exclaimed the farmer looking round, and perceiv—
ing a simple', bashful looking youth, in a comer,
4-Toby Leroux not yet engaged ! Here, boy;
my daughter shall dance with you!" and farmer
Laval conducted Lisette to the south'. aide.
Happy Tuby Leroux! His dearest wish was
realized.
Lisette was more than usually interesting that
evening: she was simply end modestly attired,
end her 'luxuriant brown tresses were well con.
trasted with a straw hat; she resembled a beauti
ful flawer upheld by the breeze.
The dance was over, and the guests departed—
'one lingered behind, as if loth to quit the place
with which all his hope of happiness was associ
ated. Lisette, fatigued, end thoughtful of the one
object of her affections, now far away, was enter.
ing the house, when a tremulous voice whispered
in her ear:
, •Lifette! Lisette! I love you. I will marry
none bat von!"
The maiden passed hastily and haughtily, and.
went into the house. without appearing to notice
what had been uttered; but she knew the voice,
and the words had irritated and offended her.
"The idea of becoming the wife of Toby Le
roux !" she exclaimed, as she looked at the•reffee
tion of her pretty face in the glass.
Toby Leroux was a plain, unostentatious young
farmer, and had but few words wherewith to ex
press his sentiments, and they were honest words,
and disclosed what be really felt. His neighbors
admired him, for they appreciated his virtues ;
and the curate always made it a point of calling
in at his house of an evening, when he passed
that way. His laborers also loved him ; and it
Was a general remark that some bow or other Toby
Leroux got more done for him by his sernnts,
than any other farmer in the neighborhood.—
Truth to say,thowever, the damsels did not look
upon Toby Leroux with the same favor; and
there was not one, puberty, that would not have
entertained as profound ideas of her superiority, as
Lisette Laval, when she looked in the glass filler
he bed (at much to his own surprise as her's) de
dared that he loved her.
Yet, basing made that deelsration,Toby Leroux
was not the man to flinch from his position. It
was the work of -mighty difficulty for him to get
the words out, but once out, be felt no difficulty
in pursuing her suit. It was, s point of honor
with him now, to prove his sincerity. .On the
following Sunday, therefore, ho dressed himself
with scrupulous (nicety; his best coat, that had
not seen daflight sines his father's funeral, was
taken out of the family chest; and a new bat that
be hadioni to the neighboring town for, on the
previous day, was put on upon this occasion. Be
hold him now, gaily setting out, to propose in form
to Lisette and farmer Laval.
Behold him, alas! returning, sad and sorrowing.
Lisette had told him that her heart .was given to

Lisette, day ifter day, proceeded to the appoint:

towards hsr lower. “I knew you would come at
last! What,. sleeping ! He is fatigued, 130 doubt ;

With lifted hand and lips apart—and eye

Darker than night her locks fell clustering
O'er her smooth brow, and the sweet sir Just tooted
Then vine-like beauty with lie gentle, wing.

But there was a worse condition than her's.—
In a nrighboring village lived a lieutenant's wid

to destitution by the ravages of war. She had
been in a higher station than Lisette. and therefore
felt the blow more keenly. And when the curate
told his flock, one Sunday, that they should be

might have vainly cried around her fur bread.
Lisette proceeded with her occupations more
cheerfully and resignedly after this. And it was
wonderful what assistance Toby Leroux afforded
her in the business of the farm. Lisette could not
but be grateful for so much disinterested kindness:
He had never touched upon the subject of his love
since the long distant Sunday when he openly

delicacy of his forbearance ; and though she never
could think him handsome, yet she admired Toby
Leroux.

Sketch.
ROMANCE OF THE 19TH CENTURY
J!!Y Hoakci GREELEY
We are in no danger of estimating too highly
the extraordinary character of the age in which
our lot has been cast, end of the influences by
which wo are surrounded. The present is the
proper theme of poetry, the fitting scene. Who
ever shall faintly realx.e the mighty events, the
stirring impulses, the lofty character of our times,
is in no danger of passing through life groveling
and unobservant as the dull beast that crops the
thistles by the way-side. The Past has its lessons,
doubtless, and well is it for those who master and
heed them; but were it otherwise, the Present has
themes enough of ennobling interest to .employ
all our faculties, to engross all our thoughts—saVe
as they should contemplate the still grander, vast
er Hereafter.
Do they talk to us of Grecian or Roman hero.
ism 1 They say well; but Genius died MA with
Greece; and Heroism has scarcely a recorded
achievement which our own age could not paral
lel. What momentary deed of reckless valor can
compare with the life-long self-devotion of the ,
Missionary, in some far cluster of Indian lodgesN
of Tartar huts, cutoff from sympathy, and from
earthly hope ! How easy. how common, to dare
death with Alexander! How rare to live nobly
as Washington, and feel no ambition but that of
doing good! Take the efforts for the elevation
of the African race in our day—ilklirected as
some of them appear—and yet Antiquity might
well be challenged to produce anything out of the
sphere of sacred History, half so heroic and di
vine. Let us then waste little time in looking
back to earlier ages for higher examples, and deeds
that stir the blood. Let us not idly imagine that
the Old World einbosoros scenes and memorials
dearer to the lover of Truth, of Freedom and of
Man, than those of our own clime.' Let us repel
alike the braggart's vein glory and the self-dispar
agement of degeneracy ; vetcherish the faith that
nowhere are their purer skies, more inspiring re
collections or magnificent landscapes, than those
in which our own green land rejoices.
Those daily acts, those common impulseewhich
eiewed individually, and with microscopic or with
soulless gaze, seem insignificant or trifling, or take
a different aspect, if regarded in a more catholic
spirit. Those myriad hammers, which, impelled
by brawny arms, are hanging out their rude met,
ody, day by day, and contributing to the comfort
and sustenance of man—those fleets of hardy
fishers, now chasing the whale on the other side
of the globe to give light to the city mansion sod
celerity the wheels of the village factory—those
armies of trappers, scattered through the glens of
the Rocky Mountains, each in stealthy solitude
.pursuing his deadly trade, whence dames"( Lott
don and belles of Pekin alike shall borrow warmth
and comeliness—let us contemplate these in their
several classes, unmindful of the leagues of wood
or plain or water which chance to divide them.—
Readily enough do we pereeive'and ad - knowledge
the grandeur of the army which some chief or
despot assembles and draws out too feed his van
ity by display or his ambition by carnage ; but the
larger and nobler armies whose weapons are the
mattock and the spade, who overspread the hills
and line the wallies, until beneath their rugged
skill and .persevering effort, a highway of Com
merce is opened where late the panther leaped, the
deer disported—is not theima nobler spectacle—
more worthy of thn,orator's apostrophe, the poet's
song! Let us lookboldly, broadly out on Na
ture's wide domain. Let us dote the irregular
yet persistent advance of the pioneers of civilize
tionthe forest conquerors, before whose lusty
strokes and sharp blades the century-crowned
wood-monarchs, rant after rank, come crashing to
the earth. From ages have they kept apart the
Sunshine, as they,shall do no longer. Onward,
still onward, poursithe army of at-men, and still
before them 'bow their stubborn foes. But yeiter-
day, their advaece ma checked by the Ohio ; to
day, it emceed the Missouii. the Kansas, and is
fast on the heels of the flying buffalo. In the
eye of a true discernment, what host of Xerxes
or Cwaar, of Frederick or Napolean, ever equaled
this in Majesty, in greatness of conquest, or in
true story
The Military of Man over Nature—this is en
ihspiring truth, which we must not suffer from its
familiarity, to lose its force. Um from the might

GES. SAM" HOUSTON
The New York Sunday Alfas gives the follow•
ing ,interesting particulars of the history of this
distinguished individual : '•About the year 1820-1,
he was elected Governor of Tennessee. Ho held
the office a brier period only, when he resigned
his responsibilities arid honors; end abjuring civ
ilized life, migrated to the region west of the Mir
sissippi, and was adopted as a son by On d of the
Indian chieftaini. He assumed the habits, and
clad himself in the Attire of •a roving son of the
wilderness. lie remained in the forest a year or
two, when he returned to the scenes of civilrzed,
life, and commenced the practice of the law, in
Natchez. It was while he was in Natchez that
he got up the famous scheme for,the conquest of
Texas.
There was sometbtng of the romantic, of the
wild and wonderful in Gen. Houston's' abdication.
of the Executive office of Tennessee. It was an
act that few men could or would have survived.—
It was the result of passion—and that passion was.
love! He had been married but a few months,
when his abdication took place. His wife was a
lady of great respectability, a native of the county
Of Rutherford or Maury—we forget which—and
was residing temporarily with her parents, whilst
Gov. Houston was at Mutfeesboiougb, the then
seat of the government, attending to his official
duties. One day the lady ordered her carriage
and proceeded to the !seat of the local government.
Arriving at the State'House, she mot a message
to the executive 'department, informing her hus
band that she bad arrived and was waitiog his at..
tention. He returned for answer that he was very
much engaged in official duties,—that Rabe would
return to her hotel, he would be with her as speed.
ily as possible.
The lady received the message, and directed her
coachman to take her hack again to the residence
of her' parents. •Ifl be not of sufficient conse
quence,'-she said. 'to induce Gov. Houston to ne-,
glect all other business to attend to me, I am
not worthy of being his wife. As husband and
wife we never meet again.
All attempts to conciliate and win her back
again, proved fruitless, and divorce was the conse
