A UUIIE FOII ENNUI.
It was ten in the morning, and I had just
riser, when Dr. Elliot entered my apart
ment. "Ahl Doctor," said I, in a feeble
voice, "you see before you a poor voting
man who is fast going to the grave. . I am
surrounded by everything that wealth can
purchase, but at twenty-five years of age,
have lost all sense of enjoyment. Mv ex
istence is -t burden, and I orilv desire death.
I have consulted the most eminent phy
sicians in London, but they can do nothing
for :ne."
"They wore right," replied the Doctor,
abruptly.
"Then innst I die?"
"Yes; undoubtedly, when yvo are eightv
years old."
"Heavens! do yon know a remedy?"
"Perhaps, perhaps. Let me see, Sir
Thomas, have you abused the pleasures
which youth aud fortune have procured for
you?"
"I have used them, but never abuse?
tbecn,"
"What arc your first thoughts upon
awaking!"
"V ague ami undefineJ."
"Have ynu ever been iri love!"
"Alas! I have no streugth to love or
hate."
"Do you like the theatre?"
"If is a bore."
"D.Yyou lik i the pleasures of the table?"
"I luve r.o appetite."
"Do you enjoy the beauties of nature?''
"I ouly see clouds and shadows."
"You are very sick, but not ineural'e.'
"I)o you believe it ?"
"I know it, but you must make a great
sacrifice."
"What is that ?"
"Yi u must renounce your country, your
friends an ! the use of your fortune. You
must forget that you are Sir Thouses W-.nt
worth, and tho immense wealth you pos
.-e si You must go to Switzerland, taking
with you only a hundred" guineas to buy
some goals and a little cabin. You must
live tl.ere for a your, breathihg tire pure
mountain air, and laboring with the sweat
of your brow to gain an existence, which
ail the diamonds of the ludies cannot por
chase."
"You forget. 1 ear.uot travel—l have no
strength."
"It vriii return. There exists in society
a class of men among whom your malady
is extremely rare. These are the poor, in
their ranks you must mingle. Depart, then,
as soon as possible, llcturn in a tear, and
von will return cured. There is but one
plank between yon and shipwreck; renounce
it, and vou are a dead man."
"So saying, ha took his hat, and politely
wishing mo a pleasant journey, departed.
I deliberated npon his advice, and con
cluded to follow it. To niy steward I gave
directions concerning my affairs, and the
next da}- embarked from Dover, without
acquainting a peesou with the object of my
journey or my destination.
I supported the fatigue of traveling Let
ter than I anticipated, although I gave up
all hopes of ever looking upou my country
or kindred again.
After a journey of three weeks the snowy
summits cf the Alps rose before me. At
this sight, I was seized with a profound
sadness, and I faff sure that I should never
leave them alive. I arrived at Berne in
dejection of spirits, and remained there two
days to make my arrangements; ari l finally
decided upon the valley of Lanterbnmn
for my habitation I rose at six, took a
guide and began my march ; but the grand
and imposing scenes of nature where not in
harmony with my physical strength, itud
what to others would have been a source
of unbounded p]e.3?ffrt>, was to ma a suffer
ing. We stopped for the night in the val
ley of GrindelwoM, and in the morning,
Fur the first time in many months, I had a
good appetite.
At sunset I arrived at mv destination,
and entering the first house, I asked the
hospitality of the intmtes, which was cheer
fully accorded me. In the morning I as
sumed a shepherd's dress, nnd left the
friendly roof, not to enjoy the charms of
nature, but to indulge in my own sad re
flections,
I had taken hut a few steps when I heard
the sound of music, and the village rapid
ly filled tr.tlh people to attend diviue ser
vice Tho crowd proceeded towards the
church, and awaited the entrance of the
pastor, a venerable man. inspiring respect j
and esteem. Hardly were tho services con
cluded, when the flutes and haut-lovs were j
heard anew, and u young man and woman j
kne.lt before the altar and received tho nup
tial benediction happiness and gaiety i
shone in all faces. X glanced toward the |
seat occupied by the young girlt bf the val- '
IBV, ail observed one with her eyes fixed
upon me. Her Le aut y. was more delicate
aud noble than that of her companions, am)
occasionally a tear w< at J ileal from beneath
lier eyelashes. Her sadness gave hr an
additional charm in my eyes : '-Like | U e,
she is unhappy/' I said, "hut happiness
will soou smile upon her, while with me
•loaiii only will put an end to my misery."'
Next followed a ball: and two hundred
young people danced me-, riiy to the sound
of the samo instrument that wo had heard'
in t ie church. Seeing a strange shepherd
reclining in the shade of an ancient pine,
some cf the dancers approached and invi
ted me to join in tboir amusement; but I
declined, and they abandoned me to my own
reflect ions. '! Lo young girl with whose
beauty 1 hud boon so struck was not among
the guy throng; she had disappeared im
mediately upon leaving the church.
After tho rustic ball the girls, hand in
hand, singing gaily ns they wen', advan
ced to. the foot ola high hill, whose.suiuuiir
was covered with ice. All at once tbev
stiuteu and rushed full.speed up the slip
pery eminence. They SCcmed like a troop
of attgehs asccuding to Heaven. But what
was my terror wheu they began to descend
in the same rapid and peri! /us manner.—
Vi iyh great speed they cutuo springing
down the declivity, their hair unbound ami
floating in the wind, while their lovers at
the base of the hill, with their arm* ex
tended, received lieu) wbh innumerable
kisses.
"Happy shepherd-!?"' I exclaimed, "!:o;v
I envy you !'*
Upon arriving at the bouse I '.earned that
tny guide had purchased for ms a fiyak of
a dozen g ais, arid a little cabin upon ete.:
of the neighboring mountains, 'i'tri, trans
action had causumed almost all my n.tr.aw.
and ii I urn-bed to live, I itmst labor like
my new companions, no richer than Shy of
them.
My dwelling was neat, and furnished
with everything necessary for comfort: a
b.:ico, a tabic, a I 'J, a Litla har-i tu
be sure, but soit enough fur the robust
limbs of a tired shepherd.
My fir.-t few days were frightful. The
insolation in which I lived, the coarse fere,
to which i wis unaccustomed, the violent
exercise in fallowing my goats over steer
rocks aud precipices, all combined to drive
me to despair. Soon Ib id not strength to
leave my cabin; a burning fever consum
ed me, and my senses were lost in delirium.
I remained ten days hovering between life
and death. Sometimes believing myself in
uiy own country, sometimes on a desert
Island, pursuing phantoms that fl 1 before
me. Sum -times 1 seemed to see at my
bedside the young girl whom I met at the
church, but her sweet face was .soon oblit
erated by others.
Finally, after a lethargic sleep, my reason
returned. I inquired, "Where am 1?" A
voice replied, "He is saved!" I opened
my eyes and perceived two females, one of
middle age who had uttered the exclama
tion; but the fresh as spring, and
beautiful as a new-bom flower, gazed at
me in silence. "These are the two angel.--,
I said, in my own language, "that have
saved tuy life." My words they could not
understand, bat my sentiment I am sure
they did.
Marie and Laura, a* they were called in
the valley, were beloved by all tiic inhabi
tants of Lauterbruo. They delighted in
good deeds, and often climbed the nioun*
tains to carry assistance to sick cottagers*
Their dwelling was not far from mine, and
as soon as they loarned of my illness tbey
hastened to tend upon me. Thanks to tlicit'
care, I recovered, :>nd became a frequent,
visitor at their cottage. Gratitude made it
a duty, and love made it a necessity.
I applied myself diligently to the study ;
l°f their language, and, with Marie and
i Laura for instructors, I soou acquired groa*
j profieioucy in it, and could converse freely
with the shepherds upon the mountains.—
1 Obliged, like them, to earn my own living,
i 1 soon began to value my Lard earned ne
cessaries, and to forget the existence of
| luxuries. After a hard day's work, I thor
) mighly enjoyed my evening meal of coarse
i bread and goat's milk. My sleep was peace
ful, and visions of Laura danced through
i my dreams.
: I supposed that Marie and Laura were
natives of Lauteibrun. They wove the cos

try; but I could cot but observe a marked j
J difference between their manners and tlmse
jof the simple Swiss sbeperdessos. The lat

iat the same time an air of rusticity. Ma
j rio nnd Laura possessed the ssme natural

j calculated to adorn any station, however cx_
' alted.

In the meantime, activity, and the pure
uir of the mountains .accomplished miracle*
iu my behalf. I euu-d climb the steepest

of the reach of the jiva'auche*, hegau to

a piercing'cry, and sajw upon a neighboring

ed of lie aveu no greater feiicity tliaa that
of sceiug Laura every day.
In the meautiuie my year of exile had
nearly expired. My Health was entirely re.
established, and to my expectations of death
had succeeded all the hope of friendship
and love. I thought of my friends at home,
but could not decide to leave a country to
which I was indebted for the greatest of uli
benefits, health, and besides, how eould 1
abandon Laura? I could more easily have
denounced life.
The principle events of our existence arc
in 3 pendent of our will. Our designs are
at the mercy of circumstances, like a leaf at
the sport of the w : nd. 1 entered one even
ing tie- cottage of my neighbors, and found
then, both in tears. .Marie weeping in ti c
arms of L.iura, and saying—
'■o, tuv daughter, whit will become of us 1
w' ire ahul we take refuge? If I were
alone I could diag through-the tew days re

'•Do n->t despair, tuy dear mother,"' said
-i am will and can woik and sup
port us both until that happy day shall come
which will re.-doro us to our country and
l ights. Bo consoled then, and do not be
unhappy about my' welfare."
This scone ma do so deep an impression
upon me, that I was uo longer master of
myself, and entreated them to acquaint m:
with their misfortunes, and I would shed my
last drop of blood m their cause.
Laura burst into tears, and exclaimed,
'•Soon wo must part for ever."
"Forever, Liara? ah, I would rather die
a hundred rimes. No, [ will oaiy abandon
you with life."
"It is necessary," she continued; "Heav
en and wan have decided, and we must sep
arate. Wo are compelled to fly lroui the
peaceful couutry whore I had j rst begun t>
know happiness. I confess it before God,
you are thu only person hero I regret leav
ing-"
At these words 1 fell upon my knees be
fore her, nnd pressing her hand to my lips>
exclaimed, not kuowing what I said, "Lau
ra, I will follow you everywhere—your des
tiny shall be wine. I here swear to love
you eternally."
"Stop," said Marie, stepping between us.
"Tom, my daughter can never be yours.—
The rank our family occupied in France for
bids it. Would to Ilc-avea we had been
born in this 3tuiiiug valley, where the same
fortune, the sumo education, would have
wade us equal. But it is not so. Laura
is the daughter of the Oottut dc Blanvilie.
The blood which flows in her veins is illqs
friou9. She cannot dishonor it by allying
horse If to a poor shepherd."
At these words she burst into a torrent
of tears. I approached her respectfully and
said:
"The poor Tetu is not worthy of being ;
the husband of Laura, but wherever may
be the place of your new exile, do not for- {
get one who will not forgot yon
I left '.hecottage, not trusting myself to
look again at Laura. The - next morning at
sunrise I.started for Berne, where business
detained me lor two days. Immediately
upon my return I caile-I at the cottage of
Madam de Bhuville, to renew nuy offers of
assistance and to say farewell.
Laura looked pale and sad, but her moth
er greeted mo with a face radient with joy,
aud showed me a letter just received from
Berne, which was as follows:
M AIJAJIK. — A man to whom you have un
coriseio usly rendered a most important ser
vice, has just become apprised of your cru
el situation. Permit him to offer you an
asylum :ti his country. Depart at once for
London; inquire there for the residence of
Sir Thomas Wentvvorih. Ills houe is at,
your .service, and you will there receive ev
ery attention and respect that a sou can !
offer the deara.-t of parents.
THOMAS WENTWOIITH*.
"It is from Heaven," cried Mad imde
Blasville. "How could I ever doubt tiic
goodness of Provideuce. I have tried iu
vain to recall that b?li Thomxf \Yetitworth,
Lut lam sure this is the first time I evc r
h 'urd his name. There is something verv
extraordinary about it. What Uo you
think oi it, Tom? What do you advise us
todo ? "
'•lf you would deigu, Madame, to take
counsel from a shepherd, you will accept the
offer of .Sir Thomas Weutworth. Circum
stances are pressing and required. 11-'. can
have no motive for deceiving you, and 1
believe l.m au honest man; ami an honest
man always rcg-uda bis promises.' *
"But we tin nut kuoiv iiitn."
"W hen you see him you may recognize
a.m, audit you have forgotten the service
you have rutrdered him. it is very plain that
he ha* not."
During this scene 1 glanced at Laura,
aot prtak&irf: o'.< jov tH her .'..Oili
er, but si>e wis wrapt an niilmeholly. I
approached her, and taking her hand said:
"Oh, Laura, how happy is Sir Thomas;
he can offer you an asylum and console
you."
"Cans-r.Jc mo ! ah Torn, the death of my
father and our separation, are misfortunes
for which I never can be console ?."
rie next day Madame de Blanville and
Laura left the valley. The instant of tbeir
dopaiture was the signal for mine. Wc
took different routes. They dared not
pass through l f ranee but made a circuitous
tour through Germany and Holland. I, not
fluting the axe of the executioner, and
desirous of returning as soon as possible,
passed directly through Fran re, and was
soon in England, and awaiting with an in
describable impatience tbe moment when
1 could welcome the two beings so dear to
me.
One morning I was alone in rr>y library,
thinking of Laura, and bitterly regretting
that I had ever lost sight of her, when my
servant announced the arrival of two stran
gers.
When I entered the drawing room Mad
ame and MtrdamoiseHe do Blanyiile ap
proached me with grace and dignity. The
eyes of Laura wero modestly cast down,
hut. I notice*) traeesoc deep sadness upon
her brow, llcr mother's anxiety of mind,
my change of costume, an 1 tbe luxnrie3 by
which I was surrounded, all prevented her
recognition of me. She placed in my
hands the letter she had received from
Berne. I took it and pretended to read
it.
' "Yes Madame, it is 1 who offer you an
asylum. My house, rr.y fortune, my life
all that I possess is yours. I promise J you
the respect, the attention of a son for the '
most tender of parents.. I will keep my '
word, even if your daughter should refuse
to unite her fate to that of the poor shep
! herd Tom."
At these wards a vital flush mantled up
on the cheeks of the young girl. She
raised her astonished eves and cried,
_ . 1
j "tivod God! it is Tom ! Tom himself!"
Her surprise, that of Madame do Blanvilie,
j cud my transports of joy, prevent mo from j
describing the scene that ensued. I can
. ... 1
only leave it to the imagination of the
| reader.
In a few days Laura became Lad; Wont- j
worth, and for three years I have been the j
happiest of husbands. Everything is bright
about me, all nature is smiling, and every
uay I tlunk Hevveu for having preserved i
an existence so Sited with charma. To Dr.
Elliot I aui indebted for all tuy felicity-
With agreeable duties and pleasures my
whole time is occupied, aud I have not
experienced a moment of enuui since my
departure for Switzerland.
