" It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real diftrefs—Cjurlorte, by the ajtifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity ra ther than a eonvi&ion of her integrity, or the regularity, i of her former conduit, is enticed from her govern'fs, and accompanies a soung officer to America—the marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover and treach ery of his friend. The situations are artless and affe&ing—the description natural and pathetic ; we Ihc-ald feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a puftilhment.
