n .1 excluded from the terms of the am
-1:-=:y. which was promulgated upon the second
return of Louis XVIII. But from that time,
he lived secluded in his own domestic privacy,
preserving the cold reserve of an attached adhe
ren• of the exiled family. Upon the brow of the
old count hung a cheerless though impertnrable
air, while in his large mansion a uniform 'Still
ness seemed to harmonize with the melancholy
feelings of its inmates. His aged consort and
his youthful daughter were the only beings who
participated his solitude, and tended to alleviate
114 weight and misery.
Before the overthrow of Napoleon, Ginevra di
Pionibo, the count's daughter, had mingled in
the splendor and pomp of the imperial court, of
which her grace and beauty had made her a dis
•inzuished ornament. Though the exterior ad
vantage she possessed—beauty, rank, fortune,
and the favor of an emperor -seemed to have in
sured her many offers of marriage, yet either her
disincliu4ion to leave her parents alone, or the
admiration rather than affection which she was
calculated to command in society, had hitherto
kept her heart and person dimmed. When

; top of an adjoining: Whiling in the same court
iyard. This was the place whisk the generous
,painter aeleeted at least likely to be suspected, at
'the same time that it permitted the proscribed
Officer a means of exereimi and relax-Won when
!the room was cleared of die mils, as thepaint
.er was -the only person of his own household who
l ever entailed it.
Giaevra di Piombo had for two or three years
been a constant attendant at the work-room oC
M. Servin, the painter alluded to; and both from
the admirable talents she displayed in the art,
and the well-known attachment of her father to
the cause of Napoleon, she was treated by him
with the highest respect. At this time, when
her occupations were, so much curtailed, Ginevra
was accustomed to devote a more than usual at
tention to this elegant and fascinating aueomPlish -
meat. Thus she was often left behihd by her
companions,
who were either less enthusiastic in
the art, or had a more varied male of amuse
ments. On one occasion, when (}inevra had
been so intent upon her pursuit as not only to
be left alone, but to be surprised by the shades
of evening, as she. was preparing hurriedly to
depart, she was astounded at beholding the door
of the closet gently opened, and a young officer,
in a blue and red uniform, with the imperial
eagle, tread softly into the room. .Equal sur
prise and embarrassment appeared on the coun
tenances of the young couple as they surveyed
each other; and it was fortunate, that precisely
at this moment M. Servin ascended the staircase,
and entered the apartment. Instantly compre
hending how this unexpected interview had oc
curred, he stepped toward the officer and said to
him: "Monsieur, Louis, you are to o impatient
in your confinement, butt you ',lave nothing to
fear from this young lady. She is the daughter
of an old friend of the empfiror, so we may make
her a confidente in your secret "
The air of sympathy which was already iu the
features of Ginevra i ssue d the young soldier
sufficiently of this truth, even if her beauty had
not already diKposed him to regard her with an
entire deper.deuce "You are wounded, sir ""
said she viith much emodon
"It i
.e a trifle," replied he;
ly c'.osed
His left arm was suspended in a sling, and the
paleness of his features bespoke a suffering which
his words belied Two young beings brought
together in a situation so affecting, could scarce
ly fail to be united by a reciprocal sentiment
Ginevra, thus called upon to act as the suardian
and protectress of a brave soldier, suffering in ' a
cause she had been taught to believe as holy and
patriotic, felt all the enthusiastic generosity nat
ural to her sex, arise in favor of the oppressed
and wounded hero. He, on the contrary, be
held in her something more than human, when
benevolence and commiseration were joined to a
grace so bewitching and a beauty in itself so at
tractive The scene itself was calculated +o im
press a tender feeling iudelibiy upon the mind.

hand, but it seldom touched the easel, while
L)uis sat by her side, speaking with a fervid el
oquence from hi:, eyes The .!onveriation was
short and broken, for with the iov..rs a monosyl
lable expresses more than the .aaored paragraphs
of oratory. Sometimes she sing, in a subdued
tone, a plaintive air of Italy, and she was de
lighted to find that Louis was perfect master' of
the soft dialect which was her (wn native tongue
From such means, which seen to derive force
from their simplicity, is 'Action - most firmly
strengthened, until it becomes' passion to which
life itself is subordinate. %at the conduct
of Ginevra in thus submitting to what must
strictly be considered a clandestme intimacy, was
improper and inexcusable, mua certainly be al
lowed, and the result ft;rnistes the strongest
moral which could be drawn from behavior so
inconsiderate.
The lengthened visits of Gnevra to M Ser
yin's now began to attract the notice of the old
count and his wife, who so idolised her that her
shortest ab s ence was regarded wth impatience
Thep therefore expressed their mrprise that she
should devote so much time to sainting 4en it
caused them unhappiness. To such an flap:al,
Ginevra . could only reply with wars. Her fath
er, excigd by so unusual a spectacle, eagerly de
manded the °acute. His question only redoub
led her confusion.
"You are going to surprise us with a pi tare
then?" said the count, taking her by the hand
"No," repliekahe with a maiden energy; "a
falsehood shall not even onee maps the lips of
your daughter—l am not paintng."
"What are you doing, then:t trust you are
engird in no improper intimact?"
"Not improper, I should titbit," she replied.
"Explain," cried the father, "tell me all.
Ginevra thus importuned, ex?laineol how she
become acquainted with M. Loup, sad the.-inter
eat which he had excited in her 6)aom.
No declaration could afflict more vehemently
the feelings of the eld Corsican. He regarded
his daughter's affections u pectliarly his own,
as due exclusively to himself and her mother.—
The idea of another person part:nip:tin in her
love, he entertained with abhorrence. Thais
childish caresses which he now bestowed up&
her in his doting fondness he met see indulged
in by another. His daughter maned to forsake
him in his old age and in his desdation—to cast
him aside as if she loathed him. Such was the
selfish conclusion to which the suipicious mind
of Piotabo led him. He at once forbade Ginev
ra to think more of her young Kinker. She be
sought and entreated him to collider that her
happiness was at stake. It was in vain—he
would hear nothing, but declare; imperatively
she should never marry in his lifetime. Bo em
phatic a denunciation aroused the downcast spir
it of his own descendant. "Bat 11 will marry,"
said she with a fienanSess equal to his own;—
"your sentence is inhuman.'
The determination of Ginevra INS expressed
seemed to awe and.confound the aid count. He
resumed his seat without saying t worms. His
wife now interposed, and took the part of the
daughter. Ginevra out herself at her father's
feet. "I will still love you and use with you,
my dear father," she cried; "I 164 never for

lihe him. Piornbo Was sitting in a window re
cess in the large saloon, with a grave and forbid

Ginevra thus presented her lover: "Ny father, ,,
said she, "I present to you a gentleman whom
you will feel pleasure in seeing This is Mon
sieur Louis, who fought four paces from the Em
peror at Mount St. Jean."
The count did not rias au relax the serenity
of his features. "You wear no decoration, sir,

"It does not become an (doer of Napoleon

The reply seemed to gratify the prejudices of
the old man, though he said nothing. Madame
di Piombo, to break a silence which was at once
harsh and uncourteons, hazarded a remark.—
"What a singular resemblanoe," exclaimed she,
"this young gentleman has to the funnily- of the
Aortas!"
"It is only natural," replied the young man,
upon whom the eyes of old Piombo glared with
the fury of a demon; "I belong to that family "
"A Portal" shouted the count. "Your name?"
"Luigi Porta," replied the officer.
Piombo arose slowly, ander an emotion too
strong for utterance. His countenance grew
livid with rage.. His wife took his arm, and
low him gently toward the door. They left the
room together, Bartholomeo directing a gesture
of vengeance against the unfortunate youth, and
a look of horror at his equally wretched daugh

Ginevra flew to her own room. not for the pur
pose of disiolving into useless tears, but to en
ter upon a serious commune with herself as to
the course she should pursue The fearful ques
tio4 .he had to solve was, whether she should
-sacrifice her love, and the happiness of Louis I ri
herself, to gratify the implacable hatred of hs•r
father; or to surrender her home, her station,
her parents, in favor of a man whom every world
ly eonsidoration called upon her to reject? That
her father would be immovable in his deniurcia-
tion, she knew too yell. Yet, when did youth
ful hope despair? She resolved to attempt to
argue with him, to reason to entreat. She could
sot consent, to give.up her love for a feud. Be
sides, she had pledged her faith; and when she
thought of Louis; alone and without a friend in
the world, a generous sympathy moistened her
eyes and nerved her resolution. She detemined
still to love him and to marry him, even should
the paternal malediction tall upon her. The
resolute mind of Bartholoose° was inherited by
his daughter, and, though she felt for him all
the affection and respect natural to their rela
tion, she believed herself not bound to obey
what to her seemed a cruel and unjust command.
With such sentiments, the descended to the sa
loon, in which the old count and his wite were
sitting in a mournful silence.
The oonveraation between the father and
daughter was not long. Piombo expressed at
once his irreversible decree. "Who espouses not
my quarrel," said he, "is not of my family
While I live, a Porta shall not be my son-in-law
Such is my sentence."
Ginevra attempted to show that she had no
reason to partake of his enmity; that Louis Por
ta, who was only six years old when he left Cor
ski), could have done him no harm; that it was
a Christian ditty to forgive andaot to revenge an
injury even when inflicted. Her arguments were
in vain.
"He is a Porta," replied the implacable old
man, "and that is enough."
She then prayed him to regard her happiness,
to refleot that, by indulging his hate against an
imaginary enemy, he destroyed the pesos of mind
and the life of his own child. She begged her
mother to join in her entreaties , but Bartholo
mo was inflexible. "Then in spite of you,"
said Ginevri, "he shall be toy husUnd:"
"I will rather see you dead," rejoined her pa
rent, clenching his bony hand- So saying, he
threw her from him. "Begone?" Said he, "I
have no longer a daughter. I will not give you
my curse, but I abandon you; you have now no
father"
He now conducted her to the street, and closed
the door upon her. Ginevra proceeded to place
herself under the protection of Madame Servin,
the wife of the painter, whp had always express
ed great friends hip - for her, until the day when
she should be united to Luigi Ports. But she
was destined to experience the insults which are
prepared for those who sot contrary to the usa
ges of Madame Perrin did not ap
prove o 4 . 7 7 duct, and begged to be excused
from -.7 -- her under her present circumstan
ces. Louis, therefore, obtained for her a small
lodging with a respectable matron, near to that
ho had himself for some time occupied. Here
she remised until the marriage wad be solem
nized. Her mother had traced her retreat, and
sent her a variety of things necessary for a young
wife, together with s purse of money. A short
note accompanied the present, stating that it was
sent-unknown to the octant, sad contrary to his
injunctions. In her desolation, this mark of
maternal kindness drew fropt Ginevra a flood of
tears sad a feeling of remorse, which the °onto-
Laicals of Louis alone could Awe.
At lentth the day of_the marriage arrived.—
Gingers saw no one around her to hail the event.
Louis procured two witnesses, who were necessa
ry to Must the ceremony. Ooe of them had bees
in the company be commanded in the Guards,
and was now keeper of a livery-stable. The other
was a butcher, the landlord of the house which
was to be their future risidenoe. These good
people attended upon the occasion, as if an ordi
nary affair of business woe to be traneacted. They
were dreamed neatly and pisinly, though nothing
announced that they matie t pert.of a emptied-fee.
Ginevra herself was elmply bobbed, conforming
I to her femme and an air of gravity, if not of I
coldness, seemed to reign around:
As the church aid the mayor's office were not s
hit distant, Louis gave his arm to the bride, and
followed by the two witnesses, they proceeded on
foot to the place of their espousal. After the
formalities were gone through, and their names I
signed, and Crenevra, were united, it was ;
with diaty they got e old priest to celelmata ,
their union, and to give it the Church's benedio-
Lion, since the , eoclesiastiee were all eager in their i
service to more distinguished couples. The priest I
hastened over the ceremony, and after uniting
them before God, as the mayor had united them I
according to law, he finished the mass, and left I
them The marriage being thus eidebrated in
its two forms, they quitted the church. and Lon-,
is conducted his wife to their humble residence. I
For the space of a year from their union as
pan and wife, Louis and Ginevra enjoyed as per- I
feet a happiness as could fall to the lot of 'nor- 1
tali. Though living far apart from luxury or
extravagance, they were too much lovers to re
gard either as essential to their bliss. The dine
passed gayly onward, and unheeded by the youth
ful atm* who could not part even for an hour.
If Ginevra ever thought of her parents, it was to
regret that they could not view and share her
happiness. But with the expiration of the year,
came care to corrode their joy With the buoy- ;
ant feeling of path, unacquainted with the hor
rors of poverty, they laughed at its approach.—
"I can paint, my Louis,'said Ginevra, "we can ,
easily support ourselves " And she prepared to
exercise those talents for her suosistence which
in other days had tended to her amusement. She
executed mines from the old masters, and Louis
set out to sell them But he was ignorant of
their value, and of the persons from whom to ob
tain it He was content to seil them to an old
furniture broker at a %ery tow price Yet Gine
vra was pleased to find that her exertions could
earn money, and help to, maintain her Louis and
herself. She redoubled her assiduity , and finish
ed several pieces; sheotabored with the seal and
ardor of h proselyte Her exertions conveyed a
reproach to her husband, who was determined no
longer to sit in idleness, while his wife worked
incessantly After long consideration, he felt
himself equal to no employment save that of

of a case which occurred many years ago in a
Philadelphia court, where a pretty young widow
was in danger of losing two-thirds of her how

on the alleged insanity of the defunct It may
be as well to premise that the presiding judge

The Jersy has the following affecting
story connected with the probaire Ices 'of this
noble ship:
During the latter part of oar career in the
Philadelpitin post off, we became acquainted,
among the mass of human beings whose faces'
appeared daily at thedigeneral deliverl
where we were stationed, with. an intelligent,
happy looking Finglislumin, of about forty-five
years of age, who came frequently to enquire for
letters froip home. lie was a man of pleasing
mariners, and evidently had been well educated
and accustomed to the refinements of really good
.Being i a stranger on our shores, he was
glad to avail himself of an opportunity of con
versing with us, and spoke freely on his past and
kis hope for the future He had come over to
Philphia, bringing with him a little son ap
parently about twelve years of age, to *elect a
residence for the rest of the family which he
had left in England, and to make all the ar
rangensnsw necessary to their comfort when they
should arrive. He had accomplished this—had
taken and furnished a house in Philadelphia,
and was now expecting letters from his wife in
forming him of her sailing with their children
the steamer City of Manchester .
We handed him a letter—it spoke of her ex
pectation to sail in that steamer, and he went
away with such glad anticipations as might be
supposed to fill the heart ola humbaud,ind fath•

he soon expected to meet and embrate again.—
A few days passed, awl another foreign mail ar

wife, saying that she had not been able to make
her arrangements in time to sail in the Manches

which she had mailed at the time of embarking)
