THE RED SCARF. BY WILLIAM B. LINDSEY. Hold ! villians, hold ! Dare but proceed in yonr u nholy design. And, by Heaven I'll leave you all a corpse, Fear not Angelica, you are safe ! The moon had risen in her majesty and reflected her silvery rays upon the calm bosom of the placid lake, arid the unnum bared hosts of heaven, sparkled like so many gems on the coral strand. All was silent °stile grave—and nought occured to break the stillness of the night, save the oc cusional plunge of the sea-gull in the rip ling waves of the lake, and the rooting of the woodland owl. Not a solitary being could he discovered along the margin of that still body of water, so often the haunt of mankind, from the monotonous bustle of he day. It was here the lover of Nature would resort, to read the great pleasures given by an Almighty Deity ; it was here the worldly, man would seek forgetfulness from the busy toils of the day, in gazing on the beanties of nature; it was here the youthful lovers would meet to capitulate their tales of love, and seek a transient bliss in the company of eagh other; but all was vacantleserted by li`s gay and lively votaries It was the eve of battle.—But a short distance from the lake, lay the British force, which, at return of day, was to struggle againSt a band of heroes, fighting for the liberty of . their country: No shout rent the air on that memorable eve. The solemn havoc of the preceeding night had driven the fierce sons of Britania to the Cerceen cup to drown their anxiety and grief all were in a state of intoxication. It was midnight ; the moon which but a short time previously, had shone so clear, was now overshadowed with clouds ; the evening had became damp and hazy ; and portended a coining storm ; the murmur of the waves lashing the gravelly beach, approximated to the syred song of mph t and disturbed spirits; and the wind as it triwled through leafless forests added to the solemnity of the scene. It was at this lime that a solitary individual, muffled in a dark chink, was seen making his way up to the stand. His head piece vas drawn over his eyes. and his plume nodded in the breeze, its if it sought to sport over the shoulders of its portly owner. Ever and anon, he would stop 'short, and anxiously look around as if to ascertain whether he was discovered, and then continue his journey with a firm and ROBERT S.

He had nearly reached the furthermost edge of a rock bound copse of woods which led to the British camp, when he was soddenly startled at the ap. preach of one, clad in a similar garb, to that which he wore There was no time for retreat—and he seemed determined to maintain his ground at the hazard of hid life. 'The strange apparition app-oached in a manner which proved beyr.und doubt that tear was a stranger'to his heart ; he bite a stately carriage, m arked with a short and slender frame—yet symmetrical and well proportioned. His features were parti ally hid from view, by the shades of a low hunting cap which was drawn to one side; as if to shun recognition. Our hero un• conscious of being approached, stepped lightly to one side, the more easily to watch. the motions of the gallant youth. But the keen eye of the approaching party, saw his object at first glance, and quickening his pace he had partially passed, when the bold A merican,who had already unsheathed his sabre; challenged in a firm, manly voice; ho goes there 7" "An officer of the king" returned the knight, "what's ho that asks the quest ion 1" "A soldier !—true to the country for which he fights—a hater to the world— yet withal an honest man 1 How runs the newel" "Most nobly ! our gallant officers will shortly leave the field—a reinftneentent has just arrived under the command of Gen. Howe, numbering five thousand men." •'lmpossible !—Gen Howe at last ac• counts was on the sea " "Trd . e, but last evening ho landed, and is at the present innment in the British camp, and dt•signs an attack at sun tise." "At f.tm-rise ! asked the Ameriran "Ay ! what's strange in that 1 Our king has sent orders that every house must be razed to its (;)undation ere to-morrow eve.' "Cursed ! bloody I tyrant !

"Have gnu riot heard your comrades capilu!atc the tale 1" asked the supposed knight. ':Never." "Then Ihuu halt been absent from the camp." "At present I am," evasively replied the American. "11,1 )uu ever hear the story of the red scarf?" The red scatf? Gond heavens what is this my brain grows giddy I—Eircuse me Sir Englishman, but tell me, what of it I" °Well then, since you seem to be a stran ger to the circumstances.l will tell it to thee. There was, during the lute campaign -= and bloody too—it was—a wounded American; yourw, yet with a soul as fierce and fearless as it was just, who was carried from the field to the American camp. This gallant youth it appears was of a noble birth and paying his addresses to a young lady of a mild and virtuous disposition. She was the pride of the parish in which she lived—se spected and beloved by all who knew her 7 "And her name ?" interrupted the Amen- Unpublished play "MARIA McCLußE,"freturned the Eng ehman. "Heavens, and what of her I—proceed I pray thee." "It seems," continued the Englishmen," that the youthful American was carried to heal, until he was finally able to return to hie regiment. On parting, the lady re. quested the red scarf, which he had con• sternly, worn on the reception of which, she swore him eternal fidelity through weal and woe. Our king has hinee promised her in mai - rim - 7e to the duke of Buckingham; and has offered five hundred pounds to him who secures the lady and the red scarf!" 'Then by heaven!' ecxlainted the A meri. can who had sat uneasy during the recit a l of this tale, "they carry their projeet through my hearts's blood." "And who is he that dare counteract the orders of our king 1" pertly asked the Eng lishman. "I dare I" "And who are you?" "An• American—true to her standard and her name, a foe to tyrants, and a curse to monarchy !" "An American ! —and through your heart we reach the maiden I bethink thy• self, young man—thy situation is a danger. ous one, but tell me, doest thou know the girl 1" "I do I" "And hest en interest in her welfare ?" "I have ! but why these questions ?". "Why, by the mass ► were all the Brit. ohs that ever breathed the air of heaven stationed round her, with this good sword, I'd cut my way trough all to her rescue !" "Gallant sentiment I" murmured the sup. posed knight, and turning quickly to the American, he in a mild voice, demanded his nn.he.

E S D FREE.. —so soon !" Itemulously to reach in time to prepare for the coming struggle—and supporting herself on the arm of her beloved they made their way to where the yawl lay rocking in the waves. They went forth upon the lake the lover and the loved—and never in imagination has the reader beheld aught so lovely as the American maid. Her low yet graceful fig ure moulded in finely turned, and beautiful proportions; her lull and round bosom, hea ving beneath the gush of the warm blood of early youth, her sparkling jetty eyes, her raven black tresses, waving in wild and wonton ringlets from beneath the fold of her hunting cap, as though they wooed the kis ses id the breeze that sported a.nong them ; her cherry rod half opened lips, on which an indefinable smile between rustic naivette and virginal modesty; and displaying teeth outvieing the whiteness of polished ivory ; her light ,brunette complexion, radient as ffebe's fairest roses; her singular and pre• turestpie eustume, and the wild and solitary spot in whicl. they were—all combined to fascinate the beholder. * • The morning dawned ; and the hero's heart glowing with patriotism banished the softer passion of love, and the ties of tender remonstrance; he sighed for renown, con• quest, immortality ; he pointed out to his men the path to tread in ; and as the hour of carnage arrived, "Remember," he ex• claimed, "that courage and humanity are inseperablu—that mercy attends the hero's sword—that mercy pours out her healing balm into .the wounded bosom, and spaies the aged sufferer; remember that glory is the soldiers motto, and that life is but a trib ute paid to his country." Thu armies met—obstinate and vigorous was the engagement—for never were the laurea of victory more deeply tinged in hu man gore. Fite Americans performed all that fame cmii 1 require, but the firmer hand of Captain Hudson, dealt destruction around, the banks of the lake were strewn with the slain; and the waves rolled awfully as the en. ' sanguitied stream mingled with the bleed I The glare of noontide was past; and the shades of evening were beginning to gather around—but even then the balance of victo ry had not preponderated ; the groans of the dying mingled with the hollow murmer of the:breeze ; and Pity's self fled trembling fretikhe deadly contest. The Americans many of whom were enfeebled with wounds, were maintaining en unequal conflict; Am br...ie in the momentary impulse of his heart,. was rushing to the assistance of his men, when his eve accidently fell upon a British officer emerging at full flight, from a corpse of woods bearing on his steed a female who was vainly struggling for release• The aw ful reality seemed to flash upon the mind of, the ardent youth—the privacy of Maria, had been obtruded upon, and ;he was now to become the wife of Buckingham.

"Fear nnt, Maria, thou art eare," whisper ed Ambrose, as he saw the last haughty Briton. fall beneath the sword of Rodolph, and the next moment they were on their road to the A meirican camp. * There was revelry and feasting in the halls of Squire Hudson. The brilliant and the gay were assembled there. The sprightly dunce of the giddy throng, rang throughout the hall; mid the wanton laugh of youth came floating on every breeze. Innocence and pleasure sat upon the smiling catmint:ince of all present.

Attila died in 45:1, and was buried in the midst of a vast campaign, in a coffin which was enclosed in one of gold, another of silver and another of iron. With the body were intured all the spoils of the enemy, harness es embroidered with gold and studded with jewels; rich silks, and whatever they had taken most precious to the palace. of the kings they had pillaged; and that the place of his interment might forever remain eon coaled, the Huns deprived of life all who assisted at his burial. The Goths did nearly the same for Ala rie, in 410, Cnsenica, a town iu Calabria; They turned aside the river Vasento; and having funned a grave in the midst ofits bed where its course was most rapid, they interred this king. with prodig'ous accumulation of riches.

THE NEWBPAPER.-A newspaper taken in n family seems to shed a gleam ofintelli gence arodnd. It gives the children a taste for reading—it communicates all the impor lent events which are parsed in the busy world; it is a never failing source of amuse ment; and furnishes a fund of instruction which will never be exhausted. Every family however poor, if they wish to hold ri place in the rank of ireeligent beings, should take at least ore newspaper. And the man, who, posessod of property bufficient to make himselfeusy for life. and surrounded by children eager for knowledge, is insti gated by the vile spirit of cupidity and neg lects to subscribe to n newspaper, is defi cient in the duties of a parent or a good - citi r zoo, arid is deserving of the censure of his in telligent neighbons. 1 also will bear LOVERS.—Every observer of human na. turn must have perceived that,lovers not only do not exercise the . power of ridicule over each other, but they cannot conceive that the idol of their imaginations should be the subject of it.
