A Story of Love and TVeanery.::',.,;
•Vhe following circumstances whfeh ltatie )
'tome to our Idnowkdge in the ntost•reliabl
manner, some of which indeed, fell unde6
our own observation, illustrate the truth thar,
the way of the transgression is hard, and
-that our Heavenly Father watches over and
protects the weak and friendless :
About the first Of September last, a young
man in this city, formed an itcluaintaiice
with an amiable, confiding, and affectionate
girl, about twenty-one years of age, and by
a series of attentions commenced at that
time, won completely her heart. She was
dependent upon her own labor for support,
and as her health was far from robust, the
prospect of gaining a home, noel her love
for her wooer, induced her to consent to
marry him at some convenient season. He
was a clerk in an establishment in the city,
ant( represented to her that he possessed a
snug farm in a neiehboritag State, and-that •
he had sisters residing a•fett, miles from the
city. He was desirous that their marriage
should be consummated lit Thanksgiving-,
or at New Year's, but she postponed that
anticipated event until Spring. He subse
quent!y gained her consent to accompany
him on a sleighine excursion to his Sister's
house, who resided, as he said, about four
teen miles from Boston. and with whom they
were to rennin two flays. The fond girl
was mak MU prepa Mt ions for the New YeaCii
ride, anticipating much pleasure from it;
h e t. a b-w day s previous to the beginning
of the year, her suitor was to ken ill, his
disease assumed it &Mgt -rolls tyee-L-indeed
he was attacked by a Complication of dan
gerous diseases which soon fit•oesda hittefaco
to lace aid) the king of terrors. The' girl
flew to his bed-side to minister to his earns;
but, strange to say, her presence seemed.
oblioy.ions to hi,n When she ettempted
to wipe the moisture from his brow, ti7hich
was aualitig the ashen hue which telle of
coming dissolution, he repulsed her with
!strange words which almost broke her heart;
and which were received by the kind famb,
Iv with Whom he was, as tokens of mental
et-rangement. His physicians averred that:
something preyed upon his mind, producing
an agitation which Was hastening his end. .
The lady of .the house, on coining into .
the room in the afternoen, to make arrange-.
merits for having lino removed to another
apartment, surprised bin] in the act'of read-,
ing a letter, which he immediately thrust
out of sight. While busying herself about,
the apartment she saw him attempting - to
throw the letter into the grate, but he was
ten weak to accomplish his purpose, and
upon observing her, he thrust it into his bo
som. tier suspicions that all was not right
being aroused, she resolved that he should
have no opportu filly' to burn the letter unob
served. He seemed to be overwhelmed by
mental agony. Once after this, ho called,
the d evoted girl, his betrothed, to his bed
side, as if to meke some revelation, but
waved her back immediately, and in . a few,
minutes was dead. The letter in his bosom
was drawn forth, and proved to have been
written by a loving wife, who in it reproached(
him gently for his long silence, expressed
her fears that he was sick—imploring him
if such was the fact, to send her word, and
she would fly to hi m on the wings °Clove_
and tend him with her own hands. It ap
peared that his true name was not the ono.
which he had assumed in Boston, that ht
had no sisters near the city, that he owned
no farm or other property, and the inference.
froni nll the circumstances was plain urid in-.
evitable, that he had deliberately planned
the rain of the young girl, whose heart he
hind won, and had deserted a fond wife, Who.
was earning her own support in a neighbor
ing State.
Well might he be overwhelmed with
mental anguish under such circumstances.
Although safe from the reproaches- of any
mortoi tongue, for no one in this city knew
his treachery, unless perhaps, it was the
driver who was to carry him on his antici- -
pated sleighride-.-he was
,in the hands.of
God and his own conscience. Reader, can
you imagine the feelings of that, wretched
man, with that devoted gill hovering around
his bed-side, yearning to perform, any kind
of of fi ce for his comfort, to clasp his pain.
