FOUNDED ON FACTS.
Two young i ffi< ers belonging to the same
regimeni aspired io the hand ■ f he same young
lady. We w.ii conceal their real names under
(io.se ol Albert and oraee. Two youths
more noble never s.<w tiie untarnished colours
of their mutiny wave over their head-, or took
more undat.ni. d hearts inu» the field, or purer
forms, or h more, polished address, into the
diawmg- room.
Yet was there a marked difference in their
characters, and each wore his virtues so bi -
ium t.gly, and one <•! them at least concealed
his vices so becomingly also, that the maiden,
who saw them both, was puzzled where to give
the preference; <md siood, as it were, between
two flowers ot very opposite colors and per
lumes, and ye< each of eqn 1 beauty.
Horace, who was me superior •officer, was
more comm ending in his fig ue than, out not
so beautiful as, Albert. Horace WrS the more
viv rcious, but Albert spoke, with more elo
quence upon all subjects It Horace made
•oe m<>re agreeable companion, Albert made
the better iriend. Horue did not claim the
praise of being sentimental, nor Albert the
fame of being jovial. Horace laughed the
most with less wit, and Albert was the mo*!
winy with less laughter. Horace was the
more nobly born, ye Albert had the better for
lune, the mind that could acquire, and the cir
cumspection that could preserve vne.
W horn ol the two did Matilda prefer ? Yes
she had a secret, and utidefijed preference;
yet did her inclinations walk so sisterly hand
tn hand with tier Guiles, that her spotless mind
i uuld uot divide mem from each other. She
• .dived die mote of H -race, yet 'hong t the
more of Albert. As yet. neither of the aspi
rants had declared themselves. Sir Oliver,
iVlaiilds’s father, soon p ,t tin matter at rest.
He had his private and family reasons for wish
mg Hoi ace o both lavored lover; but, as he
by no means wts. ed to lose to him-elf and to
his daughter ll e valued friendship of a man oi
probity and ot honour, tie took a delicate meth
od o| telling Alb< rt understand that every itaing
that he possessed, ins grounds, ins house, and
all that belonged to them, were at his service.
He excepted only his daughter.
W hen the two soldiers called, and thev were
in the habit ol making tneir visits together Sir
Oliver cad always some improvement tn show
Albeit, some dog for him to admire, or some
imise tor hl ii l" try; and even in wet weather,
there was never wanting a tn umsenpt for him
to decipher, so that In* was sure to take him
out of the room, or out ot the house, and leave
Horace kioqu will' his daughter, uttering some
disparaging remark major Itr tone, to the
effect that Horace was fit only to dance atten
dance upon the ladles.
Albert understood all this, and submitted.
He did not strive io violate the rites <>| hos
pitably, to seduce me affections nfthe daugh
ter and outrage the feeling- of the fa her. He
was not one ol those v> no would enter the tem
ple ot beamy, and under pretence ol worship
ping at the shrine, destroy it. A contmm*
I lace lover might have done so. but Albt rt had
no common-place mu d. Bat dirt he not sut
fer ? O! that he Hollered, atirt suffer* d acute
ly, his altered e was, hi he»m *ii< rice, and
ai times his J r< «d y, tno plainly t< * >fi- d.
He ktj t his harm, in the inmost recess ufhis
heart, like a lamp in a sepuh tire, and which
lighted up the ruins of his uappmess alum*.
1 o his daiigtiter Str Oliver spoke more ex
ph' itly. Her affections had not been engag
ed; and the pretrrriv e that she began to
leel fteahi g into her heart for Albert, had its
nature changed at once. When she t und th it
he couiu not approach her as a lover, she
loutid to spring up tor him in ber bosom a re
gard us sisteny, and as ardent, as if tne s me
ciadie had rocked them both. She tell, and ;
her lather knew, that Albert’s w is a character ■
that must be loved, if not as a husband, as a '
brother.
I he only point upon which Matilda differed j
with her lather, was, as io the d» give of en
couragement that ought to be given to Hor
ace.
“Let us, my dear father,” she would entroat
mgly .*ay, “be lit e, a' least for one year. Let
os. tor that period, stat d committed by no en
o.iz eri.eut; ue are both yotu g, myselt ex’r« me-
V so. A peasant maiden would lay a longer
probation upon her swam. Du but ask Albert
ii 1 am m the right?”
Ihe , -i that .-tie made to Albert, which
ou.hl to have uss-.ird ber father of the purity
•»f her sentiments, triflHened h.m into a aua
•iri.»n of a lurking atlecium haviog crept into
i.er nosorn.
Affairs were at this < rt.*.s when Napoleon
re'tirned from Elba, and t »»rs’ like the demon
of war, from t thunder cloud, upon the plains
•»f France; and all the warlike and the valor
,um arose and walled her in with their vetetan
breasts. The retained hero lifted up his rid
right band, and the united force ol France ru»b-
d with him to battle.
Tbe regiment of our rivals was ordered to
Belgium. Alter many entreaties from her fa»
ther, Matilda at length consented to sit for her
miniature to an emmeht artistj but upon tho
express stipulation, when it should be given to
IGirace, that they were still to hold themsslvos
free. The mm : ‘tnre was finished, the resem
blance excellent, and the exultation and rap
ture of Horace complete. He looked upon
possession of it, notwithstanding Matilda’s
stipulation, as an earnest ofhis happiness.
He had the picture set most ostentatiously, in
he finest jewels, and constantly wore it on his
parson; and his enemies say, (hat he showed
jt with more freedom than the delicacy of his
situation, with respect to Matilda, should have
warranted.
Mberf made no complaint. He acknowl
edg d the merit ofhis rival eagerly, the more
aner’v. as the rivalship was suspected The
*< < ne must now change. The action a' Quatre
Bras has taken pla e. The pnn -ipal body of
the British troopsare at Brussels, and the news
of the rapid advance of the French is brought
to Wellington; and the forces are, before
break ofdav, moving forward. But where is
Horace? The column of troops to which he
belongs is on the line of march, but Albert,
•nd not he, is at it* he «d. The enemy are in
sight. Glory’s snnbnghf face gleams in the
front, whilst dishoiioui and infamy scowl in the
rear. The orders to Charge are given, and at
the very moment that the battle is about to
join, the foaming, jaded, breathless courser of
Horace, strains forward as if with a last effort,
and seems to have but enough strength to
wheel with his rider,into his station. A faint
h zza from the troop welcomed their leader.
On, ye brave, on!
The edges of the battle join. The scream
—the shout—the groan, and the volleying
thunder of artillery, mingle in one deafening
roar. The wtnuke clears away—the charge ia
over—the whirlwind has passel. Florace and
Albert aie both down, and the blood wells
a wav from 'heir wounds, and drunk up by ths
ihi:sty sclif.
But a few davs after the eventful battle of
Waterloo, Matildi and Sir Oliver were nF no'
tn the drawing-rr orn. Sir Oliver had re <d to his
•laughter, who was sitting in breathless agita
tion, the details of the battle, and was now
reading down slowly and silently the list of ths
dead and rnnmvd
“ Can you, mv dear girl,” said he tremulous
ly, “ bear to hear very bad news?”
She could reply in no other way than by
laying her head on her father’s shoulder, and
sobbing out the almost inaudible word—-
“read.”
Horace is mentioned as having been seen
early in the action, badly wounded, and is rs*
turned missing.
“ Horrible !” exclaimed the shuddering girl,
and cnibr«"ed her farher the more closely.
“ And our poor fr end, Albert, is dangerous
ly wounded too,” said the father.
Matilda made no reply, hut as a mass of
snow slips down from its supporting bank—as
silentlv, aa pure, and almost as cold, fell Ma
tilda from her father’s arms insensible upon
the floor. Sir Oliver was not surprised, but
much puzzled. He thought that she had not
felt quite, enough for her lover, but too much
tor her friend.
A few days after. :> Belgian officer was in-
Toduced by a m itual friend, and was uressed
io dine Sir Ol ver. As he h; d been pre
ent at tii battle, Mit Ida would not permit
her grief to prevent h*r fr-un meeting him at
her Either* tatJe. Immediately on her enter
ing the room the < ffi ■•••r started, and t<>"k eve
ry opportunity of g zing upon her intently,
when he thought himself unobserved. At last
he did so, so incautiously, and in a manner so
paruculnr, that when the servants had with
drawn, Sir, Oliver asked him if he had ever
setfn his d tighter before.
“ Assuredly not, bm most assuredly her re
semblance,’’ said he, and he immediately i ro
•hired the minature that Horace had obtained
i fr-un ms mistress.
Th* first impression of both father and
I daughter war, that Horace was no more, and
• that the i. ken had been entrusted to the hands
of toe officer, by the dying lover; but he quick
ly undeceived tnem, by informing them that
ha was lying despar itely but not dangerously
wounded, at a farm ho ise on tbe continent,
and that in fact he had suffered a severe am
putation.
“ Then in the name of all that is honorable,
how • ame you by the rniuature ?” exclaimed
Str Oliver.
“ O, he had lost it to a notorious sharper at
a gaming house at Brussels, on the eve of the
battle, which sharper offered it to me, es he
said iha* he supposed the gentleman from
he won it, would never come to pay the largo
