[The interesting romance appeared in the-Temple, a Masonic Mag azine, some years since, and we publish.. it at the request of an-old-reader, of Tee II MUM). —En.] A ON AT THE RENDEZ YO US. EMI= Evei:y reader of. American history, is aware that unrelenting and bitter feel -lugs of hostility animated the minds of the -partizans during the memorable period of 1770; and little" were the rude inhabitants of the interior of the country inclined to soften this spirit in favor of the captive, British or American. It is true the harsh and often brutal conduct of the tories, who spared neither sex nor age, was ill calculated to induce the, - k:utigh atd harassed back-woodsmen. to listen to the still small voice vrbich . pleads in every human bosom for mercy to the fallen foe. Teo many bad their memories bnrthenedand hearts, lacer ated with - the recollection •f Lenses burned, parents or children, brothers or . sisters, murdered or ruthlessly torn front the family hearth ; and hence the voices of the few. gentle and relined settlers, pleading that merciful treatment be given to the prisoners was often drowned in the storm of excited passio,ps and the wail of the lately bereaved. It wail during this dark and gloomy period that the town of Carlisle, in Cumberland county, one of the oldest settlements in the State of Pennsylvania, was selected as the place to which Major Andre and Lieut. Despard, were sent fur - kenotmeonfinement, by Montgomery, -who' had taken them pris'uners near. hake Champlain. /The prisoners were lodged 'in the house of a fanuly on the corner of South Hanover street and Locust alley, and were. on a parole 'of honor, which per initted them to extend their 'excursions for six: miles around the town, but only in military dress When beyond the lines of the borough. . . Major Andre,' who was still_ a very young man, just entered upon a career of militti'ry, 'glory, seeing himself thus suddenly checked in his onward course. -to military renown, that 'object So deai• • to every. soldier's heart, secluded himself . it first to brOod over his misfortune. • Bailie. companion in captivity a than of Mete Volatile - temperament, made the best of his pOsition, and amused himself ' by shooting through the country.

The two then visited the cave and .were amply repaid for the labor of exploring by the ` curiosities of' nature which they found there stored away in its glooMy recestes. - That visit Seemed moreover to act like ' a charm upon the poor prisoner's mind,. for after it he ioetned restless when any , thing'proVented hire* even for half a day from rambling through .the woods and that surrounded the town.

The steep hill-side against which lie was „reclining was covered with trees and underbrush to the, very top, and through this thick growth dashed a horse on its downward course, as if Maddened by some irresistible force. Its rider, a country girl, sat pitle,-but evidently fear loss and erect in the saddle and endeav ored to check:the steed by soothing words and a skillful management of her rein ; but the animal seemed to he un der the influence of terror or pain, and. rushing - blindly down by its own im petus would have been precipitated over the steep bank of the rivulet, if Andre who had watched its course for a second or two, had not at the risk of his life runhed forward and seized the bridle, and while-he with a , sudden jerk turned the animal's head to the right, his strOlig arm checked it so abruptly thht it was forced upon its haunches, which enabled the fair equestrian to-- spring lightly out of the saddle. They then discovered what caused the poor animal to act so frantically; aMnster of boon had settled upon his- left haundh, inflicting their vengeful stings for, having been dis turbed by the careless switching of its EMI I own "1: After the animal had been relieved from its tormentors, and soothed by cool applications isms the hreoh, Andre had Moe to turn to the young girl he had saved from a violent death. She stood still by his side, pale but not trembling, and milieu sire saw him some what more At liberty .to attend to her, she expressed her thanks to him in such dignified and refined language, that the young officer, who }part until then met only with the 'uneducated hardy daugh ters of the settlers along the creek;was surprised and .began to examine her more closely ; and few girls would stand the test of a close examination better than she. Kato Cleveland was the' daughter of Oliver Cleveland, an Englishman, who having fallen in love with a young lady for above him in rank, and seeing his love reciprocated, found that only - by an elopemeni.ite could seethe the prize he was anxious to mecum.. The lady con sented to his proposal, and the two tied and embarked as emigrants to the now country. Love enabled them to cope courageously 'with all the trials and - olistaates which they had to encounter in the now country, before Mr. Cleveland had secured for himself the independence I of a substantinl farmer, and the posses sion of a tine traot of land in Cumberland Valley. And when lifter they had been mari led for several years, a. daughter came to enliven Choir household Fine]to draw _the bonds of love closer, they resolved to bestow all their upon their child, and to give it the 'educatien which their own training in England enabled *them to impart. Kate became, thereTo4:' the wonder of the cimntry, for she was not only skillful in the ordinary branches of edu cation, but could also draw and paint the beauties of nature; tell the names of the stars in the blue ether, and play the, guitar, which she accoinpanied with her beautiful voice. But not only her men tal but also her physical education, her patents took care to attend to; and Kate became ,an expert equestrian, learnt to follow the hounds in full halloo niter the prowling fox, And could, if necessary, tire it gull with., ; is precision by no means cointudo among the elegem. prate descendants of the hardy'piiincerS Accustomed to canter over the country without an escort, she'll:lß that morning mounted a rather unbroken colt, which she intended-to train toy her service ; and had proceeded safely, until at the brow of the hill which overhangs +he brook, her horse had given offenselo, 'a small swarm of bees by switching its tail ever them, and hence the accident.

But when had reached the limits of .the space to which his, wanderinil were confined, he stopped and With a 'somewhat con fused air; said : Miss - Cleveland, your conversation and-languagehavo vividly called Birth the recollections df my .dis taut home and brought.before my-mind thci image of a beloved sister now titink ing of her absent hrother; and soothing the fears of an anxious mother.

Letters were sent to them by a simple lidy, whom, they rightly judged nobody would suspect, for poor Knolly Pete, was• by the whole neigh-- borhoed considered a natural : but they took also the precaution to request the Majorjo burn the letters as soon-as ho had relict - then - 1. Their plans were well laid, and might have led to a great deal of mischief, had it not been for a happy accident, which proved however, dis astrous tope heroine of our tale. One day whoa Pete had been sent to the Major, with some letters written in ,French, communicating the final arrange ments Made by the tory partisans, poor Pete had lingered -so long about the creek, where he was accustomed to look for Andre, that he became hungry, having had nothing to oat since early morpog. 'Thinking that he ought to take care of himself in order to be able to cars for his employers' interest, he wenti-i) the house of a Mr. Brown, who had a, farm in the neighborhood and :IA:NI for some bread and milk. Mrs. lb-own gave him boat. In the mean time while he was still eating, Mr. Brown, a stiinch rebel, entered the house, and stOrtingly inquired of Pete, if the Engligh had already succeeder: in making him promise to enlist as a drummer. Poor- Pete thought, that he was suspected, and havipg a wholesome dread of the summary proceedings so often sonde 'use of by both parties, hastily replied, "I, ain't doin 170Illi with the English, I only conics to talk with the captain." "'With what captain .."' inquired Mr. Brown. " With him what sits here by the creek with his gal," replied poiir Pete, More and more frightened on seeing Mr. Brown's stern countenance over shittloi-vmd by an angry frown. "And what does the captain• tell you?" continued his questioner; " NOthin at-all, he axes only about the folks." Mr. Brown now suspected tbat the Major had some sinister inotivo - fn Watching the boy, and determined to watch thorn both. lie theroforo, said nothing.„ but deteimined to watch the boy's course. When Pete had satisfied the cravings of his appetite.•Le left and turned to his post near the bridge. He had not been many minutes on his seat beneath the big elm tree, before Major Andre arrived, and seeing the boy, inquired if he had any inesoinge for birth. Pete, who still recollected Brown's threaten ing face, replied with some hesitation : "Nothin pertieler, only the folke likes to seu you." "And_ have they give❑ yuti no 111C8- na ge for me?" "No, Captain, they didn't tell nie •illyt hing " 'Andre, who became rather impatient at the more than usual stupidity of the boy', told suspecting something wrong inquired more sternly "And have you no paper for me, nothing to give me ?" / The boy then began to look cautiously around Min, and perceiving no one near, 'drew front the lining of his torn cap, a couple of letters and gave them to Andre. The latter then hastily opened kbetn, and his face brightened as he read the contents. lie gave the boy half a crown, and told hint to go back and tell the people that all would be, right. When the boy had left hint, 'he again drew forth the friendly epistles, and after hay ing re-perused them, he murmured, otto day more and I shall lie flee, and again on my onward court.* to 'glory; and Kate she will be Chit companion of my ;life, Oh, 9)4 to-morrow were, only passed over !" ~But there was an eye upon him, which had Watched with no friendly interest, ail the- gleamtt of joy that had so slut deidy inun.inated countenance, and the oWner of 'that eye, Brown, - aatietled. that something wrong was going on, has tened together his friends together, , to consult with them, as the best way; to disdover, prevent, and punish the treach ery,',,hichlio suspected. Not . long aftit'r..

This only increased• their suspicions and, they immediately . ' hastened to Carlisle. When they reached the borough,, the captain ordered his company tosurround the house, and thaw told the excited, crowd. that had ,gath ered around, what ho had soon by ,the bridge, and his suspicions that the tories wore in correspondence with Major drc. The 3fajir tress now brought forth, but refused to acknowledge as true the_ allegations made against him. They .then searched 'his clothes and found the, letters delivered by Pete. Brown hastily tore them open; Mit could not read, a word of the conients,„ The letters were written in French, and there was no one, ip the boroUgh that could interpret them. When Brown saw himself thus foiled, in discovering the plot, he' became so en: raged that lie determined to execute lynch law upon the British officer, and commanding his •met to make every thing ready, ho bad already laid hands upon the prisoner, when his proceedings were stopped by a new comer. Mrs. Ramsey, the hostess of the two officers, now came out of the house, and with- a strong arm made hergelf a passage to the spot where Brown and Andre stood, the one, the personation of animal excitement, the other, a picture of cool determinatipy and passive despair. When Brown saw Mrs. Ramsey, lie became at once Inure calm, and a dash of timidity seetma to mingle with his au tl toil tat ire. voi;e. Mrs. RaMsey was, it is trite, at all tirues a 55001511 whose path it was not safe to cross, when sho was determined upon anything, and she eames..evidently with no intent to aid Brown in his violent acts, moreover Brown had been an apprentice to her husband, and had eiporieneed during his apprenticeship, many a time, that Dame Hanisey's hand was rather a heavy one, when descending in anger, and as it is haul to divost ourselves wholly of early impressions, he felt always an undefinable awe in the pres ence of his old master's - wife. When .the old lady reached the parties and had learned what had taken place, and Brown's present jntencion, she sit oak him by. the arm, and exclaimed, Let ,g 6 that man, you good for nothing scamp ! If he is a Britisher, he is in my house,,, and I, think Jane Ramsey can keep a dozoi such chaps safe, until the people that have it right to judge, come and take him. Let go, I say ; who made you a judge, I'd like to know? IQ it a hair of his head shall you touch ! here he has been mit alive, by those who had a right to do, it, and hero ho stays till they come again and Wee him away," and then turning to the crowd, which dLad drawn out of rQ.I ch of the old dame's iiielyry, she cont Pitted "-Acrd you had better go home • and tend to your wives and young onbs,mr if ye arc men, go and sh•lulder your guns and fight the Britishers and tories, fair fight instead of standin: around one man that has no arms.'' Then laying hold of Andre's arm, she pushed him in the house and „closed the 'door 'after him. Brown from habit awed by the author itative voice of Mi•s. Ramsey. withdrew his men to a safe distance, and than gave vent to a shower of threats, and sent the letters to the nearest post of the rebel army. , The next morning just as the sun was gilding the tops of the trees, Kate Cleve land seated on her white palfrey, and her dog Pontb cemblied by her side, was waiting at the tryiting-place' beneath the Old oak tree." Rut hour atter hour passed, and poor Kate was still alone art the render rens. Sbe did not dismonnt, she did not aide up and &MI the road, silo only sat in the saddle, in a sad and expecting attitude, her whip fallen from her hand, the i reibs were lying en the palfrey's neck,' while lice right hand suppmted her cheek, as if she were sitting in an armchair, and her. eyes were fixed upon the gorge through Which she expected Andre: to come. At last, after the Mtn had risen SQ high that it stolid right over her bead, o horseman approached through the gorge, ' but Porto did not spring forward' to greet and•, when he came near, she dig (levered that it was one of her neighbors just -returned from town. - Farmer Gibson seeing Katn et lione and as if waiting for some one, first. inquired whether her father, was going to town, 'and• asked whether qho had heard the' news that the ',British Oleos had Yee!n' removed by orders from beadqiiarters,, and that they had left Carlisle under 'an escort.

"Is it possible ?" exclaithed Ellen. " - How I have been deceived in him. , I thought`he loved me for myself , alone. 0, Mr. Thornly, how thankful ought to be that I have discovered how false his heart is, before it was too late:.'4 " Mr. Hayden is M the parlor and wants to see Miss Ellen," said a servant opening the door. Ellen entered the' parlor in a rather perturbed state of mind ; much as she rejoiced at her escape, she could not but, feel deeply grieved at this discovery of the unvvorthliness of him, whom she had hitherto-esteemed so highly as to often reproach herself that she could not love him as ho deserved ?Iv. Hayden's mind was, also, much disturbedHiough from a very different. cause. It was in vain that the young gentle man tried to re-call the neat little speech, that ho had conned over ou his way to the house ; as is usual in such cases, it completely vanished• from his mind as soon as he found hiMself in the presence of the lady, for whose benefit it was in-' tended. At last, making desperate effort be broke the rather embarrassing silence by Raying : "My dear Miss Neal I have' heard of your loss - of fortune, and cannot expiuss what a great burthett it lifted from tny: heart. I was so 'truly rejoiied, as to quite forget,—" Here startled by the indignant astonish ment depicted upon Ellen's countenance, the poor fellow stammered, and then stopped. "Sir—Mr. Hayden,'' Atitored Wien, deeply wounded at lang,uftere so different, from what she had mitigated, " T ant at a loss to understand w i liy you should rejoice over my misforyine."' " Dear one, I lcnoW ct is very sei!isli in me, and yet I was notier half so happy in my life as when I learned that I might, without being accused of — wnwerthy motiNes, tell you that a privilege I should deem it to cherish . aud care for you, as mad eherisheii and mares for the clearest object of his love." Tho sudden resolution of feeling, caused by these words, sent warm, happy tears to Ellen's eyes. "I thank heaven Cur the reverse, of fortune that has given me the rich treasure of your love," she murmured, as she laid her hand softly in his. Half an hour later, the loVers were re ceiving the congratulations, and the warm approval of Ellen's guardian. The old gentleman listened silently, and with evident enjoyment, to the plans they laid for the future. "I am sorry tct spoil your pretty ro mance of 'Love in a Cottage,' and'all that sort of thing," he said at last, " but the fact is, .Ellen—though, as I told yon, your fortune 'was invested in the Bolton bank—l happened •to withdraw the money the week before it failed. But don't be down-hearted about it, — my .young friends, you'll find plenty of peo ple who will 'gladly relieve you of its burthen. If you can't dispose of it it; any other way, you might donate it to found,a ' mission school' for the Foegee Mermaids,' or some other .equally as practicable missionary enterprise." We can't say as to'whother our young \ couple followed this suggestion, bat this we know, that tiftoughout. her long and happy. married life, Ellen often had or-_ casion to bless the fortunate blunder.
