Charles I,uiilley ! |.|)li, woman’s power. “———Woman's spell is Virtue’? lie.” ‘"’•tej The poet lias here thrown in *ll small corn pass, much truth. Woman possesses over the destiny of man a spell as strong as that which the geni held over his subject in Arabian fable. Wind fancy asyou will—let it play even among the heavens, and deck up fair rainbow? there —let it paint a landscape robed in spring's own beauty, yet with us men, the hues of the ruin bow aie not half so beautiful as the rose health throws uponvthc cheek of woman ; and a land scape without her smile to give it light would lay in gloom. The poor marriner a.nid the roar of waves in the hour of danger—far in ihelone ly ocean, when death rolls upon the surges, has his hopes warmly enlisted for preservation, to behold again his little cot almost hid among tbe hills— to listen again to the prattle of his little dues —and if he does perish, his last thoughts as the heave of the wave rolls him in the migh ty bed of the ocean, dwell in beauty upon his wife’s last warm embrace. I have viewed man in every stage of his ex istence-looked upon him when the heat of passion and the fervour of youth, gave to his imagination a bright and a sunny hue: and watched his acts when the twilight of age had stolen upon him, and the night of death was ! gathering in gloom. 1 have paused to contem plate his progress even when ambition was his idol, and fame held out before him her rich and immortal light—yet over him at every pe riod of his existence there has been one power which has exercised its. influence as a spell which he would not wish broken. He had j listened to it in youth as a song sweet to his fancy—as a feeling congenial to his nature. He turned aside at its voice even in sunny i noon, when pride and ambition were spurring onward; and in age it gathered around him with a heeling and cheering delight. That | power was woman’s— women’s love. The i human thought in all its wanderings, forms no | ideas so beautiful as those which spring into j life in contemplating a mother’s love. A mo j ther’s love ! Its existence commences at the cradle, and it only expands and frow* more ; intense, as the dangers of life gather around its object. A mother’s love lOh ! it is beyond the scope of poetry to sketch—and beyondthe power of fancy to give it feeling. Never to the heart of sensibility do the last anxious words of affection from a dying mother ceitso to bo foil. They thrill in the bosom, and they throb upon the heart forever —they steal upon us even when engaged in the turmoil of the world—they come when care end sorrow weigh heavily upon us, like ministering angels to whisper peace. Charles Landlcyhad grown into life, yet over the morning of his existence had hung internally, a cloud of gloom. He was thrown young upon the world—left to the care of a miserly uncle, lie remembered but little of his mother—only ofliving in scones of splen dour—of being caressed upon her knee, when her strength was feeble—of watching the tears as they stole down her pale cheek when the supposed death of his father in foreign climes was the theme—of the last sad scene when by her bedside lie kneeled, ami slu besought him by the nobleness of his fathcris nature, to love virtue, protect innocence, and shun vice. He scarcely then knew the import of nil this; but lie learned it in the school of time. The pecu liar beauty which ever accompanies a course of virtue, was blended with bis mother’s name; nnd the mournful remembrance of her soft, sweet voice was the music that lured him from the road of vice. It was a kindly providence that threw hope in the composition of human nature. I never dwelt more upeu its beauty than in contempla ting tiie lot of Charles Landley. For when lie had risen to manhood; when the light of twenty three summers was shed annul him; when he looked*back upon the season of bis infancy, and knew that by justice life portion of wealth was his—that he should have possessed at the hour lie escaped his minority tin extensive estate, and almost boundless wealth ; and more than all, when lie remembered dial ids affec tions had been given to a worthy object—one that brought back to memory his mothers ten derness; when he felt all this, and the stern truth came up before him, that the estate was grasped by the avaricious hand of his uncle, with a hold that could not then be broken ; it was at these moments, that tiie powerful charm which hope holds over the human heart, was the only light that glanced before him with a cheering ray—still it was there, and it pointed to cloudless skies and more congenial mo ments. 1 remember Emma Summers well. Much of my youthful fancy and many an idle dream of my boyhood is connected with her name. She was a sweet girl, one of those which have the happy faculty of imparting a witchery to every thing they say or do. Yet I will not say she was handsome, for beauty is a word I never dare apply to u female. In this matter, there are such strange and unaccountable fancies — and every one hasan Eve for his own Paradise, that wo to the luckless wight who endeavours to paintbeauty ; the task is impossible. I have seen many bright beings whom the world have pronounced beautiful—they have danced be fore mein a merry mood, and perchance thrown around ific a innmcmtary fucinaiioii, but the impression has'fled like that of a faintly re membered 4>eam. Emma Summers sought no conquests amoag the crowd ; she possessed that relirjpg modesty which gives to woman’ one of her richest graces, mid imparts to the word home all those ligaments which twine the nselves around the heartfr*-home was the scene where even in youili her ('harms were to be found, but whoever trespassed Ijiere -did so at their peril. 1 had seen when evening twilight was gathering genS* Wer Ihland scape, Charles Landley straying towards the residence of Emma Summers; and in the moon light hours—tjtose hours so peculiar to love and song, arm in arm have they wandered a iong the river shore of the majectie Hudson, and amid the rich senery which surrounds that river at Mid Gotham. At these times when looking upon them I have often thought if there was in the wide world a scene*calcu lated to call forth the gush of happy feelings, and to awaken the soft endearments of fanciful love, it was rambles of a summer evening over the Call Rock—that spot which has long been, and i now the haunt of beauty ; and I verily believe could echo repeat the tales of love that have been whispered upon its brink, it would charm back the memory of many who have now grown old ; and they would become happy in living over again ihe dreams of their young affection. No woigler then if there as seated by the side of Emma Summers, as the sound ofthe waves which rippled at the base of the rock almost an hundred ft. below it reached the ear, or the music from the hand as the steam boat swept up the river stole upon the senses —no wonder that there as Charles Landley lis tened to the melody of Emma’s voice, he should forget all his wrongs, and beneath the moon-lit beams should talk of love—offer his hand —and be accepted. Nature has thrown now and then a rose to bloom in beauty on the mountain side, and greet the age of the weary traveller ; so amid tike crowd of men actuated by selfishness, the generous heart is found infusing a balm into the broknu spirit. Charles Landley was oi a noble nature ; he thought as youth will ever think, that be should find kindred spirits iu the world ; and under these feelings he threw him self upon the generosity of his uncle—told him the whole story of his love, and asked for his approval. But he met with a rebuff—with rid icule—was told he vyas poor. Yet his pfoud spirit bent not. He sought bis betrothed, told ofthe reception he had met—declared his in tention of seeking wealth in the world, and then claiming bis Emma. Love, to some a VOL. 1. NO. 3|. passion unconquerable. It is like the stream which has run on for ages in its channel, and when obstructed, only spreads back and gath ers force and strength, until it sweeps befote it every impediment. Landley wasofurccklesa nature. He would have dared danger, endur ed fatigue, suffered hardship, if the reward ha sot ,tit could thus be wort. Arnid all these feelings Emma whispered in his cor to leave her not. She was willing then to embark upon the world under his protection. She had not accepted him becattsu wealth was his probable portion ; she would not foresake him now ad versity darkened before him. He was pursua ded ; and with honest determination they wed ded. With that determination which never fail ed when properly carried intoexeculion of en hancing the joys of life—the determination of ‘a virtuous perseverance towards the acquire ment of pecuniary independence—the deter mination of being a kind husband and an affecz tionate wife. Oil! it is a determination worth all the wealth the avaricious woo. To me there is no scene so calculated to nwuken sensations of a happy and yet mourn ful nature as the bridle scene. There is hope spreading the brow of promise over the future, and yet doubt and fear still hanging their boil ing clouds around it. There is the bride sever ing every tic which has bound her to the home of her infancy, surrendering a fathers protec tion, and a mother’s care, nnd throtving her all, of happiness upoh the promises her husband has given. Truly there is something border ing upon the very nature of holy bridal hour. I felt all these when Charles Landley led Emma Summers iorward before the wedding guests. They stood bright and beautiful iii innocence before all. The one had ever been guided by the remembrance of hi? mother’s virtue, by the love he bore to the present object—the other by the strength of pure affection. But at that hour, even there had ihe taunting voice of the avarieions unci? been sounding, until a melancholy had stolen upon every heart. Suddenly, and it seems to me now almost a dreanr, a manly form stood before us, and he smiled with satisfaction a? lie stretched forlh his hand, and gave a father’? blessing to Charles Landley and his bride. TLe parent of ilie groom Had rortuneil Iq health ; had learned the story of his son—of the cours •of viitue he had pursued,—of th? oppression of his uncle—and had delayed th? moment of unfolding himself, until the interes ting hour of his marriage. The parental ble?- sing came then opportunely. It changed the scene—joy played her part, and a merry wed ding wound up the whole. Each party in the above transaction met ihcir rewurd—one the contempt, tho other th? love of the virtuous. I would draw’ from my story, that life at times wears the appearance of a very lottery—that happiness comes antj goes on the wing of every circumstance, that we are buffciting with the current of adversaty, and floating upon the wave of prosperity—all too as it were in the single act of a drjma. ■ Yet let none be discouraged. There are un ,effing guides for the coursp of life.—Virtuous Habits and honourable principles ever meet their rewards. And perchance if there pre any whose eye may trace these lines, over whom the spell of virtue is held by woman, I would say even thpugh prospects are not a? brilliant as could be wished, do as Landicy did lake her ; and if prosperity docs not come to you as to him, fn the whirl of a moment,®yit n train of honest perseverance will surely bring it around to you. ALFRED. Neversinlc Cottage, Avgust, 1839. TO A I.ADY on the DEATH of an INFANT. Oh I lady, weep not that thy God Hath sent his angel down, To guther from thy bosom here, A jewel for his crown. I know that thou hast sighed, to s-e A lovely flovvretdie, lir : yet its beauties till were bom, To greet the evening sky. And thou hast gathered front its stem A bud,just opening to the day, For fear a storm might rudely come, And tear its sweets away. ’Two* that thy Savior pitying saw, On earth, a form so fair, And took her to her home above, To flourish sweetly there- Eve yet an evil thought had rent. God’s image from her brow, He called her, and she giadly went Before his throne to bow Then, lady, weep not that thy God Hath sent his angel down, To gather from thy bosom here, A jewel for his crown. “You should not quarrel so with your wife,” said a friend to his neighbor—‘con sider -that you aud your wife arc one. 4 “Yes but if you were by sometimes, when we are at it, you would think there worn twenty of us,” said he. “ If the devil should lose l.is tail, where would he get another?
