, denly exclaimed an enrapturdd young man
'as he threw down 'a novel he had' been lit
detouring with his eager and anxious
. eyes, and paced the room in a state of very
alarming agitation mingled with tremulous
hope. "A Fanny! To be loved for one's

who neglected all her studies until she felt

Contemptuously as if they were already at

he was at present pacing a room not quite
large enough for the dream in, which he
had been wandering; and as

He was th{greatest match in the village
of E.! To•saY'thid would seem to be say
ing all that I could, to convey a "right •idea
ofMr. Remarkable Smith,, and yet I must
enter into particulars respecting the 'effect
of this fact upon himself and others.
There were many maidens who were con
scious, 'and gave signs of their conscious
ness,',OT lii superior attractions, both in
wealth and_person,' to the Many nice }Tung
men -of E.; and, this it was (fiat 'made him
vain, and so fastidious in Ns choice.
He was superior both in person•.and
manners,.beeause he visited the—to them—
seat of fashionolten, and came back with
some new-born grace, or "just Out" style;of
dress, and made them . ff,ivious and ridinir
lag. He waS a romantic _-young man too;.
read all the latest novels from and
talked
,inticlt about beinu'eouried for one's
wealth, and. how Ina heart - longed fora
sympathiiinrspirit which should' be won
by the knowleOge antl : ,love of his merits
lone.. .' • :4 , 4. •
There was one young lady in. E., a vis
itor-and relative of Letitia. Grove, whom ,
he had never- seen: . - When expecting lam
arriVal, her friends had spOltcp to him of,
her in the _warmest praise. He, ever on
the jealous look.Mit for ,any attacks upon',
himself
,in the way of matrimony, thought
this a snare; -- and -wls -heard- to-say-that
"the G owes would ncitherget hira - for them
selves, nor for that paragon of perfection
they called Miss Alice 'Merry!" And :.this
having been repeated to the family itself—
"surprising though it May seem Otero - were
gossips even in E.—the • consequence was
tat Mr. Remarkable Smith was made a-,
ware of'the displeasure it had given to one
-of the most respectable families in the place,
to which family his thoughts ever after
wardS . turned in a stream of bitterness
made evident in the *opening of our tale..
And Miss Alice -Merry! She was all
that her friends had painted her; So petite,
with a sweet and childlike face; yet beaming
with all joyousness and evidence of mind.
She was indeed merry, full of unbounded
gayety end wild mirth • . . •
She had seen, but had .not-.'been seen . by
the g reat man of the village, and 'as she
lookd mion his fashionable figure,- his
handsome face, and•the genteel tout. ensem
ble . of his . appearance, she thought how
great' a pity it was, • that he should be so
spoiled by vanity and romance.. And it
mesa pity too, for there were many'redeem
ing traits in his embitious nature, which
under a wise maternal culture would have'
made him a more respected and happier
man. His mother died in his youth, but
not'until there were many promises of a
full harvest from the seeds olvanity . and
pride which she had sown.
When the object of Remarkable's tour
was made known to the three young friends,
Alice was appointed the agentof cure to his
"distempered brain." Through.berthe
.re
venge of Lucy and Letitia was to be brought
about. What was the revenge? •
About ten miles from the 'village of B.
there stood, upon the outskirts of'another
and smaller one, a pretty
,cottage' Wish a
well cultivated garden, small
. hut . tastefully
laid out,. owned by a widow lady . who now
resided there. Mr; Remarkable Beaufort,
as he, passed at evening; inquired of the boy
if -he knew the owner of so pretty a place, ,
He did. "It was a widow lady with no,-
companion- but a niece,"--but ,here he
sighed visibly.
"A niece, and is she pretty, Charles?"
"The, sweetest creature that I ever saw," I
'replied the boy with an animated look, "but," ,
herw:he sighed again. •
"What is the meaning of that 'but,' and
what is her name?" spoke Remarkable, as
his curiosity became evidently excited' 'by
the mystery of those repeated sighs.' •
"Alas! sir, alas! Fanny is , wanting,. sir,
wanting here," said • Charles, mournfully
touehing his forehead, - but turning his head
suddenly away, as his eye met the expres
sion of joy and triumphant delight on his
master's thee: '
"Her name "Faun;! a 'clouded intellect,
and beautiful!" exclaiMed , Remarkable, for
gettirig.the presence of his young, and it
seems, quick-Aare& companion, -"sheaball
be :nine!-.—l have found at last the one
h+tltoshttll..love me fOr myself alone, one
whose heart will not be, bought with gold,
young, beautiful tind-Inexpettenced!!''
And with . an eagerness cil; ppricose not to
be Wondered at id Ofiejait' fall of romantic
expectation as our Itemarkable, he directed
the'boy to driv%haatily to the nearest inn,
as he wished that evening to Make the ac
quaintance of the lone widow, and , her pret
ty niece.
"Perhaps Mr.Smith.--Beaufort
said his humble compinion ' the embar

counsel to a superior, “pethapiit - ,would be

to the 'internal repository .of such things.
After an earnest inquiry for . the,new work,
.she received it smilingly,' and tripp,ed„ciff.
In curl-papers, and in otherwi.ie careless
neglige might the swim young lady be seen
the next morning; her haste being very ap.

village?s best inn. And:Mr. Remarkable
Beaufort, after-painting dreams of .love and
beauty in the speedily sought solitude of
his own. chamber, threw himself upon • its
'liptlible bed, te . continne , there the fancies of
his welkin/hours: •
Upon that couch had rested thoie whose
hearts were moved With thoughts, Of gain,

It was a bright and balmy morn. Re

unromantic, but still no less imperious call,
of nature for theiefreshing cup of smoking
coffee. and the buttered roll' after their
night's reprise, • and now might be :seen
wending their way towards Mrs: Parley's
retired hOme. , • •

When very neat „

Remarkable espiedp girlish form reclining
on a hank sloping from the white portico,
and at the same time the boy

"Poor Fanny!" murmnied the visionary'
youth in an 'tinder tone, "Poor Fanny, the
I . very title! And seen book has fallen: upon

ranging those freshly gathered flowers - for a
boquet." . •
. .
By this time thp garden gate had been
opened by his guide, and they stood by
Fanny's Side.. She looked up ' and smiled
as the boy Charles—who had once 6'served
Mrs. Farley in the same capacity as now
Mr. Remarkable—told her that a stranger
had come to see Fanny and her aunt.—
Thep turning to the.stranger she spoke to
him of her flowers, so', beautiful, which she
had been permitiejto gather only by learn
ing a lesson in . the now
.neglected book.—
She had n sweet encl . :happy voice; which

. .
And Remarkable's heart was gonel—
There was a laughingbrightness about the
eye, a look of seul about that.sweet lovely
face, which confirmed lirs romantic expec
tations of winning th "inpocent".from the
letlytrgetic ehaina which bound her spirit
down, Arid trothcsatne - time - fina - dei hose - w.

That first visit was an ern in our hero's .

Day alter day he sought her side, and
day after day..he thought to see some evi

• Love made no greater transformation in
the case of the true Beaufort's Fanny, than
in the second Beaufort—Remarkable him-

to the feet of Fanny May, and he watdh'ed

were something new and strange. And
then her ignorant simplicity would be the
more apparent after the show of -sense had

• • Remarkable, with all his love, could not
help wishing that his Fanny's genius would
develope . itself more speedily than it did, for
although, he would marry her with the little
appearance of intellect:which she now pos
sessed, yet having ledrned to,-know and feel
its- value more, when the 'leading' passions
of his mind were destroyed by a new power,
he wished to take his beautiful Fanny back
to E. ns intelligent in mind as her bright .
'face warranted. • t,
A month of sunshine in the heaven of love
had passed, and-our disguised Remarkable
was to be married to poor Fanny May.
• She still' talked of birds and ilowers in
her simple way, still loved better to wfind,er
with him to -a pleasant spot not far from
her home, letting leer wild spirits have. full

•
when she seemed a different-being!
. He had seen her once when sl.e thought
no one' near, reading' as it seemed a letter,
and as she read her face Aims - bright with
smiles, not childlike, but springing „from

And the smiles were, painted with a rosy

who drank intoxicating liquors. Tut many came
to !Mar Me, and I noticed just as I commenced

who came into the Hall,and sat down near the door.
He listened very aittentively; end_ when I spoke of
the cruel treatment of wives and children from in
temperate men, I saw him irierte than — on'ee take his

the,. pledge would ; prevent all this, and make men
kind and pleasant) odd I. tole the children to sign

This little fellow was alnioSt.the first to put his name'
down; and_ when I asked the people'who he was,
they told me he I,Vae,,called Bach-qcd

that made Joseph weep, when I told of cruelty to

the pledge:
He went home from the meeting and
erto keep his resolution. The next morning, 'as
usual, the father took out the brown jug, mixed the

appointed for Gen.'Scott to review them.—
While this was going - on at the Camp, 'the
•General was busy in another quarter. The,
ladies of Dtinville could not allow the op
portunity of paying their, respects to him
more particularly, to. pass. Accordingly he
was invited to meet them in the morning,
the house of Dr. Magillov here the beauththe
fashion, and tv , " might say the sweet smiles
of the village were assembled,. to. "honor,
the defender of their country's glory." The
seen° was one of the most intense feeling.
The General was received with all that evi
donee of high consideration; respect and
gJatitude-which follows such occasiOnS, and
fills the breast with emotions. 'The young
Ladies had prepured a' beautiful boquet,
which was presented' to the General by, a
Committee, ono of whom, Miss' Moore, -a
young lady with a beaming und intelligent
countenance, made a short addruss, on be
