The snow continued to fall, and the roads
were impassable; the horse had disappeared,_
and Alberilif no alternative but to wait
the clearing. To find his way was impos
sible; besideS, he would' have staid with a
more trilling excuse, so much was her inter 7 _
ested lathe beautiful Isidore. 'Weeks pass
ed and Albert still lingered, endeavoring to
procure a horse and guide.
Conversing with the old gentleman he
learned his sad story; learned, that fired
with ardor in the cause of liberty ho had
left a delightful-home and bisiovely daugh
ter Marion, the Mother of Isidore, in the
care of a favorite sister, and embarked for
this country, where he remained during the
war, constantly, drawing on his own funds.
Ffteling certain of the final success of the
American cause he had no_ doubt'of being
remunerated for all. In the mean, Marion
was married .to an interesting. young Ger
natinTand
,the old general persuaded" and
finally prevailed on him to•join * the army.
The unfortunate young man was severely
wounded . in the first campaign, which cans.
ed s his death iii a few years after. The old
general. grieved to the heart that ho had•
been the means of interrupting so much
laPpitiess„ promised his 'daughter that he
would come and spend the rest of his days
with her as soon as his clainiti were settled,
which - - ho thought wenld be speedily.—
At the close of the year she wrote to inform;
,that if he ever wished to see her alive he
must come soon, as she .felt slio could not
live many Months..

DUCIT AMOR PATRIAI PRODESSE CIVIBUS--
paying all his debt's, he had but a thousand
pounds. Embarrassed -with the little girl
(for his own sister was dead
. and he had no
near relation) he concluded to write to Ma-
lame Waldorf, the,aunt of Isidore, her fa
h_or's only sister, and requested her_to_take_
he charge of orphan until he could come
and claim her. He wrote that his adopted
country was indebted to him for services and
expenditures, mid ho doubted not that _he
sl►ould l paid principal and interest, and
that he should then be enabled, when settled
in his own house, to send for his grand:
daughter. ,
She answered it• immediately, and after,
as the general said, many sage remarks,
concluded by say ing—"she had done all in
her power to prevent her brother's leaving
his pleasant home and lovely wife to follow
a phantom—a will-o' the wisp--- 7 -which he
called glory. It had 'led hint, where slit
expected, to death! That General Charl
ton had made him forget what he had been
taught at home, that true patriotism did not
consist in running after liberty, but in doing
our duty as fathers, husbands, and children
in the station and in the country where
Providence has placed us. -That she de
clined taking the little girl, and that if he in
tended to forsake his native country; he-Inad
better take her with - him and make a sav
age of her at once."
Vexed and troubled-at this severe re
proof; he determined to quit the country
forever and fake Isidore with him.
Ile Was soon quietly settled near Phila.-
delphia, where he waited patiently a low
time; but us last weary and disheartened,
finding his funds gone, and fearin,, that even
his friends were tired of him, ho took the
little girl, mid retired quite back . into the
country to hide himself and his sorrows
-from the world.
Ono day being in pursuit of game, he
met an old Indian chief, whose life ho had
once saved in a skirmish, taken him to his
tent and kept hini until he was able to go
back to the tribe. Sanaqua entreated him
logo with him:.
"My nation" says ht. "are grateful; they
will love the white warrior who saved their
chief's life—they will make a house and
give him corn—he can himself slwot the
deer—come with me."
The old man went, and true to the word
of the chief; they supplied -km with every
thing to support lite. The little Isidore
they almost worshipped, called her by eve
ry tender epithet,and brought her every dain
ty they could find; but as he concluded, he
said, "Am I not supported by charity--
by the charity of savages, while my country
men refuse to share with mo the blessings
which I have toiled and bled to obtain!"
lie trembled and turned pale, his limbs
seemed to lose their strength, and but for
the support of Fitzgerald he would have
sunk to trit. 'floor. Ho tried to sooth and
Comfort him by telling that as soon as the
weather was fit he would provide a - vehicle,
and take him, with Isidore, to his own pater
_naL manßion; ha_slioukL.havo—his.--futher'-•
study and his room, with all the comforts,
your old age required.
Fitzgerald dared itii , t trtistliiraself to say a
t_ that he' loved
her, and ho thought the 'old general_ would
object to his.speakingol marrying the child
as he always called her. - The old man said
MS he took his hand, "My son, you arc a
friend. indeed. .„I rejoice to see that Ameri
ca- has still some noble scions from the pa
'rent tree that promise to overshadow the
land."
While Fitzgerald remained he had con
stant opportunities of seeing the beautiful
and gentle girl; ho saw her devoted atten
tion to her
- grand father, her patient swoet 7
neAs at all tunes, her industry and neatness.
How often did ho wonder that with so
ted a wardrobe she was always so.neat and
cooingly arrayed. He knew not that, rath
er than appear to, disadvantage before one
that she thought. quite too perfect for a hu
man being, she had sat up nights that all
might be in order during the next day; a
more disinteresting lovely creature nature
-never forihed, she — Was - Rik as nature
formed her, and Albert Fitzgerald enarri...

when he . took Isidore's !land instead of
speaking, he only pressed it to his lips, and
raised his eyes to bers. She was pale as

said,
"You itre ill, Isidore; come into the
_air:"
and lead lu g her to the door stood by her un
til _the blood came ruiting_ to her cheeks and
temples; then again pressing her hand to
his lips, lie mounted his horse and galloped
away, leaving her leaning against the door.
Isidore had never seen any one to love
but her grandfather; she was gratelid to the
Indians tbr their goodness to her, but Fitz
gerald was above any thing sheinn"
ever
conceived, and she looked up to him with
such devotion and reverence that ho was
worshiped more than loved.. She only
t mught of him as a. friend of her father.—
To be a Wife never entered her innocent
thoughts.
\A Month passed, - and no tidings of Albert.
The old general had been quite ill lhr some
days. Isidore had made a bed of dried
leaves and bear skins near the fire, and ex
hausted all her little skill as a nurse, but his
pale looks and fitultering voice alarmed her.
One evening after a restless day — SlM 'knelt
down beside him to bathe his temples, and
began singing the evening hymn, but the
general drew her close to him, and putting
aside the glossy curls that hung over her pot ;
ished forehead, said, as he gaZed on her,
"I have made ship Wreck of the
happi
nesq of all that I loved: As yew aunt said
--I have followed a phantom—l fear some
thing has _happened to our friend Albert,
and.my stay here is short:"
Isidore shuddered, trembled, and seemed
almost fainting. .
"Grieve not for me,'!he said. "I am an
man, and scarc_ a expect to remain much_
longer with you. Should you see no more
of Fitzgerald, get the Indians to take you to
the nearest seaport, and go to Germany to
your Aunt Waldorf': She is noble and well
edUcated, and cannot, when she sees you,
refuse you her protection. But you may
trust our young friend without fear."
He drew her head close to his bosom and
raising his eyes to heaven, he seemed for a
while absorded in tliought. The noise of
voices disturbed tbem, the door was thrown
open,
open, and Fitageraltrwith a joy-beaming
countenance exclaiming, "I have come for
you, my dear sir,"—but the pale cheek and
trembling hand checked his eagerness, and
when he took the old man's, hand ho was
startled at its feverish hoat.
"Yoh are ill," said he, "but you mill I
trust, soon be better, for I . have many com
forts for you in my snug warm vehicle."
The general looked kindly on him, press
ed his hand and sighed deeply. The Indi
an entered with his baggage which he assist
ed him to open, and ho produced many lit
tle comforts 'that seemed to revive his friend,
for he sat up and conversed quite cheerfully.
=lsidore resigned her place for the night
- to /0 bortraidlook--mome-repese r '-01-whi
she was much in need. Several days pass
ed in the same way, and Albert began to
fear the old man was failing fast.
- Ope- morn ing f after-a-Arery±retlees-night
he said,.
"My dear young friend, I fear Ishall nev
er he able to go to your honio, but I shall
die in peace if you will, be a father to my
Child;".
Again the blood rushed toilio_cheolis and
brows of Fitzgerald, and for a moment be
was silent, but recovering hinself he said,
"I will protect and defend her with my
life: but my dear sir, will you not give me a
nearer and
. dearer claim to protect her?—
Give her to me for a wife !" The old man
started, and looked up to Fitzgerald—
, "'Wife! wife!—she is a mere baby."
"I know she is yoting,_ but she is old-e
-nough to take good care of you, My dear sir,
and old enough to make me happy."
"Ycinng man, son of my friend, do notif
ing rashly—a wife is not a playthingof an
hour, a toy merely to look upon—lint a
companion for life; choose one that will ho
friend, one who will at all
timeslie
_ready to assist you with Mind and
heart—you have a vigorous intellect, a
mind stored with useful knowledge and.
should have a well educated and intelligent
wife."
Fitzgerald sighed, ho recolleeted hew of
ten his mother, had cautioned him against
being fascinated with beauty; but the, soft
voice of Isidore in the next room singing
one of her favorite hymns, put: all reason ,
and reflection asleep—
„She must be mine, father if you.do not
object, - and she will accept me.”
The general smiled—
"Oh..she will not refuse-you--and as I
know too well .Ilow headstreng and self

to marry. her, 1 will ray no' more.. For
Myself I should beproad to see her your
