Light is thy spirit, thou blooming child With the bounding step, and the laugh so wild— A stranger might pause thy sport to see, And smile on the picture of health and glee ; But I view thy gladness in deep distress, For I mourn the fate of the Motherless. Thou hest kissed that mother's clay cold check, Thou knowcst that her accents, kind and meek, Can cheer not thy listening car again; Thou bast joined the gloomy funeral train, And thy tears have flowed o'er the silent dead, But those tears were banished as soon as shed; 0 ! the infant heart is slow to guess The woes in store for the Motherless. Thy father loges thee, but earthly cares Spread in his way their engrossing snares: lie toils for then in the world's vast mart, But he only gives thee a shore of his heart. There are none to point out thy budding charms, Or to place thee fondly in his arms; And his passing visit, and brief caress, Can little profit the Motherless. But thy childish glee is a blessed boon— The knowledge of ill will come all too soon; Thou must not paint, in thy dreams of bliss, The clasping aria, or the thrilling kiss ; A home, sweet one, thou dost now possess, But drear is the home of the Motherless When the flattering world thy steps invite, To its flowery paths and its halls of light, Thou wilt not the precious safe-guard hear Of a gentle mother's whispered prayer. These flowers shall perish, that light decline, And the pangs of blighted hope be thine, But who shall pity thy soul's distress 7 There are few to feel for the Motherless. I may not the fearful storm allay That darkly threatens thy future way, I can but pray that a heavenly arm May shelter thee from wrong and harm! 0 ! turn, dear child, to one above, His mercy is more than human love, And his power can even soothe and bless The thorny path of the Motherless. IligiCnnaLANMO'Ll3. Prom the Metropolis. THE VAILANT SUITOR. g , For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war, Was to wed the fair Ellen of brave Lochinvar." • en sacrifice mo to this man, vt.no - rctmniverilleas , who is not worthy of my love ! Oh ! ere it he too late, let my entreaties move you from this unhappy purpose. " This was the anxious prayer of a daughter to her father, on the morning which was destined to see her finally contracted to a man whom she disliked and despised. But she spoke to obstinate cars. Gen eral Velthein had been accustomed for many years to receive unlimited obedience from those placed under him in the Austrian military service, and, though not a harsh parent, could not bare to have his wishes thwarted even by an only daughter. "Do not provoke me, Aurelia," said ho; "ought I not to be the best judge of what is for your real interest and happiness? And can I have any other objects at heart in this match Besides, I will not take your opinion of Baron Mantheim as the correct one. He was a soldier, and circumstances permitted him to see little actual service; I am sure he is brave, and merits none of the foolish reflections which you are prejudiced enough to throw out against him.— He is wealthy, too, and can place you in a situation befitting your birth and fatally.—Finally, Aurelia, my word has been passed to him, and so there need be no more said on the subject. " The young lady was silent a moment, and the General rose to leave the room.—" Oh, dear father," said Aurelia, anxiously, as she started to his side, and laid her hand on his shoulder ; "if I can expose this man's real character to you—if I can prove to you his utter want of spirit, his absolute poltroonery, will you not spare me this detestable union?" "Ay, girl, if—if indeed you can prove this, matters would certainly be somewhat changed. A coward were no fit husband for a daughter of mine. But you speak of things absurd—impossible; so no more of this. Prepare yourself: Mantheim will soon be here.— And fear not, my love, continued the General more affectionately ; " but you will be happy. I have no wish but to see you so , and I act as I do, because I believe that that object can only be brought about by crossing your own foolish desires at this mo ment." Kissing her brow with parental fondness, the General then left his daughter's apartment. For a short time afterwards, Aurelia sat absorbed in thought, her fair countenance indicating many anxious emotions. At length she arose from her seat, with the air of ono who has formed some deci sive resolution, and rang for her waling maid.— The latter came at the summons. As she entered the room, Aurelia started somewhat hastily and dis composedly, and turning the key of a little closet door in her apartment. She then assumed a calm manner, seemingly regretting the hurried action into which she had been led. " Got the the necklace which I wore yesterday, Bertha," said she to the girl t "It is in your dressing closet, madam," an swered Bertha, and she advanced with great alacrity to the door of the closet, which her mistress had amused her curiosity by looking so hastily. But Aurelia interposed herself between the girl and the closet, with sufficient quickness to prevent the other from entering. " You need not trouble yourself to seek it, Bertha," cried she; "I will got it myself. Us you down stairs and learn when Baron Man- theim arri% es. Inform him that I wish to speak with him immediately, and bring him thither. Go and re. member this." Bertha could not avoid the com mand thus given her, but she could as little refrain from betraying by her glances that the conduct of her young; mistress had awakened in her both curi osity and suspicion. To say the truth, the girl and lady were not upon those terms on which young heroines and their personal attendants are usually found at least in stories of romances. Bertha had been induced, by pretty liberal douccurs, to take the side of the father, and of the lover favored by him, in the matrimonial matters under agitation in the old General's family, and as a natural conse quence, had lost the confidence of the opposite party, her own mistress. When left by Bertha, Aurelia did not remain long alone, for the waiting-maid soon returned bringing with her the suitor countenanced by the General. As regarded mere looks, the Baron Manthient could not have been much complained of, or objected to, by Aurelia. He was young, and at least tolerable well favored. In attire and appear ance, moreover, ho was very bold and martial, his moustache being of even more than national promi fence. After he had seated himself, and requested to know tihat peculiar command the lady had at that moment to honor him with, Aurelia addressed him somewhat abruptly. "You are aware, sir, that your addresses have been always distasteful to me, and that I have endured them only in obedi ence to my father's commando. They are now more displeasing than ever." The suitor seemed but little discomposed by the salutation, which, indeed, communicated nothing new to him. "Let me hope, madam," said he, in reply, " that time and my anxious attentions, will remove this unfavorable feeling." "Time zan do much, sir," returned the lady, " but time can make no alteration in my sen timents towards you. I assure you of this, and hope that the assurance will make you forbear, even yet, from pressing your suit on one who can neither be happy with you nor make you happy." " Pardon me, lady," replied the gentleman, assuming the ap pearance of great devotion, "it does rest with you alone, to make me happy; and you will excuse me if I cannot consent to forego the prospects which your father's kindness and his promise hold out to rne.'l A urolia looked down, and after a pause, answered with a sllghz, apparent degree of confusion— , . Then, $ nui.t leg to inform you that-.-since you show ers who consider themselves ennuis. -.. „th. in this matter." a Others!" cried the lover, startled into percepti ble loss of color; a what others can be entitled to interfere in this matter Come, madam, you jest." "I do not jest,' answered Aurelia, with a tone of gravity, which made an obvious impresion on the Baron, in spite of his attempt to assume a look of ease: 4 I do not jest, sir.' There arc other parties-- there is one party at all events—who may feel called upon to question the right of your perseverenee in this suit against my fixed inclination.' 'Madam what other party can this be ?' exclaimed the baron, you must allude to a lover and who can he be ? What will your father say to this madam? But, pshsw, there is no such person. You but jest mad am. Ido not,' said Aurelia, quietly, but firmly; there is such a person, and at this moment he is not for distant from us.' 'Not fur distant,' cried the alarmed baron ; what do you mean lady I say the person to whom I allude is not far distant,' re peated the young lady, and that before you leave this room an explanation must take place between you.' - The General's daughter then rose, and advanced to the closet formerly mentioned. She turned the key in the door, and opening it slightly, exclaimed. 'Albert Imhoff!' Stop! stop! madam, for Heav en's sake!' cried the baron, of whose qualities the lady had expressed no incorrect opinion to her fath er; 'stop, madam! I am not deaf to reason. If you aro really attached to another, I should be sorry to persist. What would you have me to do V Re sign my hand freely and voluntary, answered the lady ; hero aro my writing materials. Write me such a resignation briefly and quickly. " What, resign your hand of my own accord,' cried the bar on; oh, madam, what will your father any to me 1' 'Albert! Albert!' exclaimed Aurelia, re-opening tho closet door, and again speaking into the interior.— ' Stop, madam, for mercy's sake !' again cried the baron; close the door, pray, I have but my oteord —he may have pistols., and might shoot me dead before I could move from this spot. I will write the resignation.' Do so without delay, then,' answer ed the lady. The baron answered hurriedly yes, yes, without delay.' Accordingly the alarmed suitor took his seat at the table, and began to write in terms which the lady, at his own request, dictated to him. The resigna tion which she demanded was so full and unequivo cal, that the baron's repugnance twice got the bettor of his fears, mid induced to lay down his pen. But the magical whisper of Albert ! Albert!' brought him instantly to his senses, and lie was glad to com plete the paper, and place it in the lady's hands.— It may bo guessed that it was with no dignified look or step that, at the dose of the operation, ho quitted the apartment of the General's daughter. Left alone, Aurelia did not enter the important closet, but sat down on a sofa, waiting quietly for the result of what had posed. She was not mista ken in her calculation that Mantheint would fly without delay to the General, and relate, in his own way all that had happened. Within a quarter of an hour, after the baron had quitted her, Aurelia was visited by her father, and, at a short distance behind came the baron. Both were fully armed. The General was in a state of fearful excitewent and rage.
