HENRY MENDON.
0« HIE VICTIM OF l.YTEMI'EK.I.Vcr.
Son - Andht it further enacted, That in lieu p*" I that VVP have just pnsscil with her rosy cheeks,
ana Imigtung deep blue eyes, looking alter
nately, with -an endearing smile, in tne face
of tier happy parents, l’eacc smiled in their
secluded dwelling—they lived the linppiest
of the lmppy—the admiration of nil who
knew them.
“ Things were in this happy situation, when
Henry was first discovered to be in the habit
of indulging in a small dram, “ social glass'
of spirits in the morning. Nothing was said,
or thought of it nt first; but it wns soou ap
parent, that this habit was growing upon him
to u alarming degree. His family concerns
became neglected—his beautiful cottage no
longer presented the woodbine and ivy uni
ting their beauties, as they twined around its
windows ; the farm that had yielded him u
competence, wns now fast running to vvuste.
Large debts were contracted—his creditors
observing that he was ruining himself, were
daily growing impatient, and to-crown the
whole, he was cruel to the wife of his bosom !
I see you shudder t\U]\c relation—but to have
seen i,—to have heard the mild accents of
the lovely Harriet, us she urged him hy all
the ties of nature and of love to renounce
the fatal draught, (which he had now no
scruples to drink before her, would have
made your heart ache.”
“ Henry,” she would say, 'look ut our lit
tle innocent Maiy! could you see her sepa
rated from us—we driven from our home—
I helpless, dependent on the charity of our
: parents, who have been rejoiced at our indus-
! try, and its naturulconsequence—prosperity t
I Yet let your dear wife, one whom you oner
. loved—and who now loves you, tell you thftt
this trill bo the ease, unless you desist from this
j alarming practice, which you are currying to
: excess !'"
“ But his parents’ tears and importunities
1 —his wife’s sorrows nnd entreaties, were
. like unavailing—alike lie disregarded the
i happiness of his parents, his wife and his
: Mary. This vice had hardened his heart,
j and he continued to raise the deadly clmlice
to his lips—to sacrifice every enjoyment to
i his unhallowed purpose. His once intelligent
I eye became dim and inexpressive, and his
: once interesting countenance wa9 suffused
with the crimson hue of intemperance. His
I creditors came upon him in an unsuspecting
; moment—took nil his property, not even
sparing his dwelling ! nnd his wife, with he.r
' child, was obliged to take up her residence
j under her fathers’ roof. Meanwhile, Henry,
rendered desperate by misfortune, to drown
his sorrows, plunged into still deeper excess,
| nud al last nt the age of thirty, fell tins once
esteemed and beloved young man hy the sin
of ivrr.Mrr.uAN'eE.
11 His wife nnd Mury still live in the litllo
white dwelling opposite the one we saw her
: enter, which belonged to ItenryV futher.
| Harriet will not long survive bis death—the
afflictions she hud passed through, and the
trials she had endured, have taken the bloom
from her countenance, and death is last prey
ing upon her ungel form.”

It was a pleasant day in the month of June,
when I descended the little hill that leads
into the delightful villngeof II , on its
southern side. I had often visited this little
spot, and always admired the neatness of
its situation ; hut it never appeared so beuu-
ful as at this time. That lake that stretched
along its eastern extremity, was us still and
calm as the little stream, which meandered
slowly through the village, und emptied it
self into its placid waters—save now and
then alight breath of wind would pass ncross
its silver bosom, ns the little rippling waves
glittered in the sunbeam. The heavy foliage
of the poplnrs ns their tops waved gently in
the breeze, by the little white dwellings which
they surrounded gave it a romantic und tasty
appeurunee, which I could hut admire.

" /ir it enacted bit the Senate and lluusc of Repre

tjrcss assembled, That the addition to the regular

dria county, in the District aforesaid, as now authori

and he is hereby, authorized and empowered, to hold
extra sessions thereof, whenever the public interest
may require it,
reluctantly returned home, and nothing more
wns heard of Harriet Mendon, and her sweet
little daughter, until I was by r.ccident called
again to visit this lovely village. On enquir
ing lor those whose history had given it an
additional interest, I was informed that Ma
ry was happily situated, with n beloved hus
band, who was worthy of her, and was en
joying the pleasure that her parents once en
joyed in the same dwelling; that her mother
had long since sought “the narrow house,’'
and the green sods were resting over her ic-
mains, which had been deposited hy the side
of herhushund in mi utimely gruve.
J unites unmasked, or Lord Sacvkille proved to U
Junius.—This is the name of a book recently
published in Boston, the production of an anon
ytnous author, who, besides attempting lo sub
stnntiate the allegation contained in the. title,-page,
endeavours also to show, in an appendix, that the
author of the letters of Junius was also the au
thor of Mr Ui-stury nf the Reign of George 1U
and aitlltor of The .Yorlh Rriton ascribed to Mr.
Willies. It is somewhat singular that a person so
far removed from the scene where evidence on
the subject of his volume is most likely to abound,
should undertake to settle an inquiry which has
hitherto perplexed the literary world; but, not
having sten tliewoik tve cannot pronounce wheth
er the writer has succeeded in establishing Lord
George Sackvillo to be Junius or not. The ques-
tion is one of much interest to all who have ever
perused the nervous and forcible letters which ap
peared under that signature, (and who is there that
has not read them ?) and it will no doubt induce
many to peruse a volume which proposes to un
mask the author, whether vviiat is promised be
a cbieved or not.
Utjrun's opinion of himself and others contrast
rd u-ith Pope.—In one of the articles of the last
received number of the London quarterly Re
view, there arc quotations from some of the let
ters of Lord Byron to Murray, the bookseller, in
one of which the, noble bard expresses, with tv
deal of candour, bis estimation of the poetry of
Scott, Southey, Wordsworth, Moore, Campbell,
and his own, as examined in reference to the stan
dard of Pope. Rogers and Crubbe be considers
as not having dcgeneraled so much as the rot
from the elevation, dignity and power of the old
school; but the former of these lie very justly
censures for his coarseness, and of the latter ha
remarks that “he lias done enough, unless he
were to do as lie had done funnorly” There is
too much truth in the following passage :
“ With regard to poetry in general, I ara-ton-
vinced the ni tre I think of it, that he [Barry Corn
wall] and all others—Scott, Southey, Words
worth, Moore, Campbell, I, are all in the wrong,
one as much as the other; that we are upon a
wrong, revolutionary, poetical system,(or systems
not worth a d—n in itself, and from which none hut
Rogers and Cralibc are free, and that Ibc present
ami next generation will finally be of (his opinion.
I am the more confirmed in this, hy having lately
gone over some of our classics, particularly Pope,
whom I tried in this way : I took Moore’s poems,
and my own, and some others, and went over
them side hy side with Pope’s and I was really
astonished [I ought not to hove been so) and mor
tified at the ineffable distane •, in point of sense,
learning, effect, and even imagination, passion,
and invention, between the little Queen Anne's
man, and us of the lower empire. Depend upon
it, it is all Horace then and Claudian now, among
us; and if l hud to begin; l would mould- myself

-Yes! it is the little sylph! Don’t
you sec her by yonder white house, in the
garden? lovely girl! she reminded ine of
her once happy mother, anil once respected
futher ? There she goes ; did you not see
her enter at that grecu door, as she came
from the garden ?”
“ I say a pretty, blue eyed girl, with rosy
checks,” replied I; “ hut vviiat renders her
such a favorite of yours! are you acquaint'

“ You shall have her history," said lie,
“ as it is short hut not uninteresting, nor de

“ tn the little, hut peaceful mansion, which
you saw the tittle girl enter, that I have ex
pressed ho much interest for, once lived Ifm-

ornament to tire happy society in which it
wns his good fortune to have been situated;
and as lie was naturally of a gay and lively
disposition, affable and easy in his manners,
he moved in the brightest and most beloved
parties of innocent mirth and hilarity.
“Such, at the age of twenty-two, was
Henry Mendon ; and such, of the fairer, and
and weaker sex, at the age of eighteen, was
the lovely Harriot Aslily, to whom he lmd
long paid his addresses, and from whom he
had the happiness to learn that his love was
not unrequited. They ardently loved each
other, and from the similarity of their hab
its and dispositions, it was the prediction of
their friends tlmt their union would he a hap
py one. They were married ; nnd never
shall I forget the emotions of joy I felt at the
wedding. The amiable, and beautiful Har
riet Ashley, bestowed her hand and heart up
on the no less accomplished Henry Mendon.
There was not a countenance in all the love
ly groop that had assembled on the occasion
hut bespoke the unison of their feelings on
this interesting sight.
