F I'lUCi), April 18. 1I3T-C Ain'tt SIDIN'R JOI'JB, BOAlllia AND HUAN'TLINC. for Milt,, H W &W.K CREABV, In o beautiful but sequestered valley, and a short distnnco from tho sloping mar gin nf ono of those placid streams which beautify and fertilize our country, itoid a little cottage, almost hidden by tho shrub bery in which it was embowered. The dwelling, humble as it was, resembled a diamond encircled with cmoralda, as the reflection of tho last golden rays of the Betting sun was scut brightly back from tho eaBcments upon the grass-carpeted lawn and tall lilac bushes. To the north rose a mountain, exhibiting nil the hues peculiar to an American autumn, boyond this towered a chain, so distant ns (o resemble a wreath nf vapor losing itself in tho mi-ty blue of tho horizon. On the opposite snore ot tno river stretcuou an immense tract of prairio laud, whoso soft green afforded a pleasant relief to the sombre shade of tho mountain. It was a lovely spot, one on which Nature had tbowcrcd her gifts with a lavish hand at loast bo thought the two individuals who wcro en joying its beauties from tho vino covered porch of tho cottage. Ellen Osgood was the delight of he father's house. Her merry smilo was ever successful in driving every mark of care from his brow or depressing thought from his mind. She wns a pure, disinterested creature, whoso only aim was to lighte the oarcs of thoso among whom her lot castj and admirably sho succeeded, for her home was rendered as bright nnd cheerful as though sorrow existed but in fancy, and had never cast a blight upm Uio fair prospects of the inhabitants earth, Alas, that so lovely a scene should bo marred by the hand of tho spoiler 1 Henry Elton was tho accepted lover of Ellen. Ho was a young physician who liad just left college, where ho had been a general favorite, and perhaps it was owing to this that his moral character had bo como somewhat unsettled for, in trjing to please all, lie was obliged to assimilato himself in some degree with tho habits of thoso with whom ho associated, and il is a fact long sinco established, that all are not purely moral in theso institutions. His manners wcro pleasing, and ho possessed conversational powers of tho highest order. He was engaged at tho time our talo com mences, in pleading with Ellen to shorten tho period of their engagement, and, from tho gratified expression of his haudsomo faco, a spectator might havo inferred that his ploa was successful. Tho preparations for tho approaching wedding wcro rapidly progressing, when, ono day a3 Ellen Iras seated at licr worlt near an open window, but concealed by a luxuriant honoysucklo that shaded it, sho heard Ctcsar, an old servant, say tosomo ono beneath: ''Wat a nico gemmau Massa JJnrry is. Pity ho drinks so much, but dou its do only fault ho has." Tho color loft her chook. Could it bo that her Loan's idolwas a druukard? She est indiscretion. The breath ot suspioion bad never infused a doubt of his innoocney into her mind, and ho bad doomed him abovo the foul aspersions of slander. How could she solvo her doubts t Sto could not ask a servant if her betrothed was un worthy, and, as Elton was absent dn a visit to one of his college friends, sho had no opportunity of observing his condtjet. Sho tried . lo banish it from her thoughts, but tho imago of a drunken husband was con stantly recurring to bcrjmind. About a week after, whilo on a visit to hor cousin, Isabella Welding, who resided in a neighboring towr. the unexpectedly met him in ono of tho frost public streets, where he with sovoral otters was discussing politics rather more louily than tho occa sion warranted. Ilo immediately joined them, and Ellen obscricd that his faco was slightly flushed. This was almost sufficient to corroborate! hor former suspi cious. At any other ti ic sho would not havo remarked so common an occurrence; but, now that ono painful thought com pletely absorbed her mind,icr perceptions had acquired an unnatural quickness, and sho gathered food for her troubled spirit from tho most trifling circunstanco. In a few days, the cloud lhat rested over her happiness was diepellcd. Elton bad been her nltnost constant coupanion during that time, nnd his beaming glance of lovo had gone as far as his rcpcLtcd assurances in convincing her of bis innoconco. Ono evening her father came in. "Well, Ellen," said ho, "aro you willing to leave .this pleasant villago for your country home to-morrow 1" She expressed her readiness, though not ithout somo reluctance at leaving her lover. Her arrangements wcro accordingly made, but her aunt who had felt unwell all day, became very ill during tho night, and they were obliged to remain. and your voncrated father for my guido, wo will have nothing to fear." Ellen was softened, but sho had often heard that intemperance was an almost incurablo moral malady, and this thought ctccled hor heart against his eloquence, and saved hor from that most awful fate a drunkard's wifo. With her eyes blindod in tears, she extended hor hand, and with a choked uttcranco, exclaimed, " Farewell, may God bless you, and cnablo you to conquer your imphoablo foo." Elton left tho place, and no tidings of him ever reach ed hor cars, though her prayers for his welfare wcro constant as the return of uight or tho dawn of morning. Writttn for the Democrat. Tho First of May. DT A TYPO. Tho Boatman's Daughter. During tho year 1814. while tho allied arraios were concentrated about Paris, the following remarkable incident, posiossing all tho interest of romance; occurred. It is strictly true, and the parties aro still living. A young lieutenant of dragoons was engaged with three or four Hungarians, who, aftor having received several smart strokes from his sabre, managed to Bond a nan into A MAN OVERBOARD. It was ono of. thoso tbuudcr and light ning gales at night, when for moment all would bo ns light as day, and moment after, so dark thai you oould not boo an oar's length from tho vessel. The oaptain was forward, and all hands except the cook and myself were aloft. Tho ship was pitohing mtdly, and tho wares were toppling sometimes ui high as the yard arm, and then dipping away with a l,;.l I. 1 il L. .. . .w .. . .1 n.iii, uuuci vjui aws, malt utauc uvury is shoulder, to niorco his chest :.i... : .t ..t s rri.. h...j Ji , ... . ...

On tho opposite side of tho stream, a boatman and his daughter had been watch inn this unequal light with tears of despe ration. But what could an old unarmed man do, or n pretty child of sixteen ?
