happens that the actual occurrences of this old

upon the imagination for additional fitcls by way

M— and B— were friends. Their friend

are sown in the unconscious and susceptible bo

youth, and ripen into stronger feelings in slier
life. As they grew up to manhood, the bent of
their inclinations was widely different ; though
their common feelings of attachment grew with
their growth, & strengthened with their strength.
Our country , had drawn the sword to vindicate
our national' right, and avenge her wrongs; and
while the exhilarating notes of the fife, and the
wild blasts of the bugle, fell on the ear-of'
music—while his hosem swelled with enthu-

and he lunged to participate in th 94,11 ries acquir

such was their confidence in each other, that the
remotest suspicion of .treachery never darted a
cross the mind of either. They felt as secure as
the mariner when safely moored, who listens with
pleasure in his hammock, to the din of the ele

the ardor of youthful imaginations; they drew
glowing pictures of the future, and rejoiced in the

other. Or if, per chance, an idea of the wayward
ness of fate or fortune for a. moment awakened an
unpleasant sensation in the bosom of one, it waS

of-willewiand other. shrubbery, whime pendant
branches dip in tho stream, and bursting upon the
view like a ; silver stream, skisted with grassy
banks, sprinkled with meadow lilies arid, clusters
of wi c imiey-suck es. It was at the old village
in the broadest sweep of this delightful vale, that
11.— was stationed for the purpose ofobtaining
recruits for-the feeble ranks of our army. llere
he became acquainted with a young lady, the
daughter of a respectable and worthy farmer, for
Mann he soon felt a growing attachment of that
tender description ivbich warms the bosom of a
young soldier. Though a native of thistranquil
valley, yet her education had not been unattend

and those personal accomplishments, Which, when
tompered wink good sense, and mingled with the
innocence and sweet simplicity of country life,
impart such a charm to the limn& character. It
was in the sprig; that happy mid delightful sea
son, when, as the poet tells us—
“—From the virgin's cheek -a fresher bloom
Shoots less and less, the live carnation round,
Iler lips blush deeper sweets
The shining moisture swells into her eye, _
--her wishing bpsoin heaves
• With palpitations wild, kind tumults seize
• Her voins,—and all.hcr yielding soul is love.”
It is sufficient to say, therefore, withouthiting the
veil, and exposing to the vulgar gaze all those lit.
tlo refined endearments which constitute the
lover's bliss, that the attachment was mutu
al, But a few months of happiness, however, glid

many hours, before the sullen sounds of war roll
ed along our frontiers, and M—received orders
to join his regiment, and repair to the field. Their
loves were plighted anew, vows of constancy in
terchanged, and they parted—he to share' in the
fatigues and perils of war, and she to count the
days and hours of his'absence, rear the plants in
Inv. parterre, weave garlands of wild flowers care
lessly plucked as she strayed among the fields
and meadMc : s of her ilither's domain, and watch
the post and catch the first glance of the bulletins

He was ordered upon - distant service, acquitted
himself bravely in various actions ; and the peace
found his shoulders graced with fwo epauletts in.

such active service, and to be transferred. from
post to post, even to the remotest stations upon the
western and south-westerri borders of our country
that he was unable to visit the object of his early
affections, and fulfil his vows, until the summer
of 18—, when he came to this city, and was trans

whose feelings, it was but natural to suppose, had
been tempered by the maturity of manhood. Both

and brighter than before. These moments of de.
pression were too transient to excite particular
-observation; and altliciug,ll the compressed lip and
unconscious sigh did, as he feared, once or twice
betray more of the troubled bosom than he could
have wished, still the round of pleasures, the va

charms °of society in a city life like this, added to
the . uhrendtted and disinterested exertions of his„
friend B— to contribute all in his power to his
gratification, caused the stream of happiness appa

would have avenged the imputation promptly,
