It is not Peath it is not Death,
From which I shrink with coward fear ;
It is, that I must leave behind
All I love here.
It is not Wealth it is not Wealth,
That I am loth to leave behind ;
Small store to mo, (yet all I crave.)
Hath fate assigned.
It is not Fame it is not Fame,
From which it will be pain to part;
Obscure "s my lot; but mine was still
An humble heart.
It is not Health it is not Health,
That makes me fain to linger here;
For I have languished on in pain
This many a year.
It is not Hope it is not Hope,
From which I cannot turn away;
Oh! earthly hope has chenled nm
This many a day.
Rut there are Friends but there are Friends,
To whom I could not say. "Farewell !''
Without a pang more hard to bear

Thank (iod ! we -shall not part like those
Who have no hope.
And some are gone ami some are gone
Methinks tliev chide my long delay
With whom, it seems, my very life
Went half away.

It waa in the autumn of the year 1MI0, wltrn
the republican nrmy tindur Ney, Morrnti, Lnmb,
Cyr, and other of its bravest general was pur
Fiiing its victorious career, and layintr waste
fritne of the most important towns in (iermntiy,
the circumstance that we ore about to relate
took place.
The frequent want of stores, ammunition and
monry in the republican armies, nnd the hope
of plunder, then fo frequently holdout to the
French roldicrs, as the reward of victory,
caused no inconsiderable alarm in Ihe breast of
the more peaceable inhabitants of those places
which were likely to become the theatre of
hostilities.
Among- these, the inhabitants of a German
town of considerable importance and which
for distinction, we wil! cull Fbrmtirn had am
pie reasons for their misirivinos ; the daily, al
most hourly, approach of the French beiiifr ex
pected. The family of Paul Kinmayer, a merchant
citizen of parent wealth, was Binnn;rst thnsp most
1 .iL'itated by the alllictinrj intelliirenee. Ilis
, household eonsii'toi of his wife, an only (laugh.
I tor, and a few domestics in whom he cnuhl
! place confidence. I lis daughter was the sprinjr
which reoulated every action of the merchant's
ii'e; she was 'he apple of his eye, the sunshine
id" his shady places : for her he had accumulated
' his wealth, that her rare homily might w in w ith
! il a station of rank nnd influence ; and now tho
I Knpe of a whole lifetime: tnioht he wrecked in
: a few brief hours.
j Ilis wife was the first to stti'est a plan for
j the concealment of tlo'ir treasures. Their
i mansion was situated near the extremity of the
j tow n, and from it a secret passage conununi
j tilled with a bower in the garden adjoin. n ;
j from tlwnee, in the evening- a man wight casi
. y steal unpirceived to the adjacent woods; and
' theie she proposed that the merchant should at
night-time, bury his treasure; or, nl any rate,
' that he should proceed liroiigh the fori st, and
' deposite il with n relation who was to be tnist
I ed, w Ii) would not be suspected of possi'ssini so
' touch wealth, and w ho resided ahout two days'
j journey from the place.
j For a lime, Paul Kinnmyer resisted every
i importunity ol his wife. Who would protet
tlieni should the anticipated attack take place
! in his absence! the domestics were old and in
' firm, and they woulj be too much ahruird lor
their own safety to care much for other not
' akin to them. Hut when Ins wife spoke upon
the future, when she impressed on him that it
wa- wealth only that would he required of thein
nnd that deprived of that, nil for w hieh tl.ey hud
so long struggled would lie scattered in a mo
ment, his resolution gave way.
'I go,' he said, 'nnd I leave you in the trust
of one w Ikisc i!!-hw erlul hin d w ill protect
von; unless indeed, in his infinite w ts.loin, h"
deems it lining; that the int'ocent siiniild tall lis
an example and terror to the guilty.' j
Collecting ull that va most valuable into a
siual! picket, as the evening; approached, the
ii i r -li:i 1 1 1 w as prepared to depart. One jew el
only rem lined behind it was his own minia
ture, sit inn locket with diamonds nf great
I value. It was his wedding gilt to Atii'dta, ami
. w ith it he hesitated to purt ; and he placed it a-
pain around her neck, with the same fervor and
1111'eetion that be telt when he first presented it.
... . . . . . . i i .
'l'o her and his daughter, the namesake nfher
in itlier. he gave some necessary directions for
their w elfare during bis absence, and taking an
iilleetionate farewell, lie departed, unknown to
any litit themselves.
It was on the evening of the fourth day after
the merchant had departed that the mil id the 1
drums, and tiieslirill voice of the trumpet call- j
ing to arms, and the tumult nniong the inhahi- !
Huts without, proclaimed to the inmates of the
mansion, lhat the enemy was fast approaching.
Tho town was, indeed, filled Willi AuMnun :
troops, but the e had been .o often and lately ;
harrassed nnd defeat. J by (he victorious ttrms j
of tlie French, thai it was not without re isuti !
thecilizens felt strong misgivings in their prow- j
''"''t
Ail chance of the tnerehant be nig ctiiiii.nl to
reach the house, ur even to obtain admittance'
within the I jvvii prev ious to tlie
termination,
was n.,v entirely shut r,;t. Tlie vv ife had but
i I, ;tl(. ,linl,t t,i hs reputed wealth would u-.l

C:n:i-.ui the doors to be ban iead.-d nud ihe vv in-
,h,ws art I Fhtitteis secured, fIic ptuceedeit vv ith
a.r daughter to the innermost apartment of tho
mansion.
On the return of the merchant, the French
army wns evueiiating Ihe place, Carrying withj
, them the trophies they had wrcs-ted from the j
vanquished Austrian?, and a large supply ol
I btires arid plunder from Ihe devoted tow n.-
j Paul's heart died within him as he stealthily
entered the suburbs, and proceeded tow ard the
place of his own residence.
Within the tow n all w as confusion and dis
may ; here wt reopen storehouses; rifled of all
their cuiiUiile, the very doois torn lium their
liinges; there, the trim pardens of the richer
classes broken down and triimpled over; in the
market places were groups of the middle and
lower classes, loudly i otnpla iiiiug of the excess
es of both Austria nnd I ranee. Slill Fatil stop
ped not to join in the general outcry ; his only
anxiely was his own homo. At length he
renched his dwr lling-. With what n pang o!'
intense anxiety be rushed thronnli the open pur
la!. The servants hid evidently lied ; the stairs
bore the marks uf heavy loolstops. l'aul stop
ped nut to examine them, or he would have
seen that they were traced with j;ore.
With the Fpeed of thought he rushed into Iheir
accustomed sitting; room, and there a hot rid
spectacle awaited him. Uu the ground lay his
wife, stabbed through the heart; one hand had
fallen back as il to protect her from the attack
of the assassin, while the oilier grasped tigltl'y
n few links of the slight gold chain to which
had been attached the diamoud-mouiitetl nr
trail. Of his daughter there were no traces. Loud
ly did dc cail, and wildly did he seek, Ii rt in dis
own house, and then through the whole town,
until it was w hispered abroad that he was mad ;
and so, liir a time, he was ; but anxiety brought
weariness, aad repose led to relied ion.
How deeply Paul Kintnavor reproached him
self tor not taking- the miniature with the other
valuables, need not be related, since he little
doubted that his wife's resistance to part wi'h
it had led to the fatal eatastri phc. On re
deeming thought only dished across Ins mind,
that by its ngeney il indeed she had lint shared
the same fate of her mother he might be ena
bled to discover the missing daughter. To this
end he resolved to devote ihe ul.n!" of Ins fu
ture existence : and nlier tbe funer.il of his
w ife, he disposed of his house, the wreck ofl.i-
hnuseholil gnuds, and prepared to travel ; whi
ther he knew not ; but any win re to fly from the
scenes where all his hope of earthly happiness
had been blighted by the ruthless hand of the
d' stn yer.
'And these,' he svd, as he turned fiont h;s
native town and home, 'these are the ih eds per
petrated under the sacred banner of liberty
Alas! how is the divine oil rihute desecrated!
