PASSION AND PRINCIPLE.
On the evening of a beautiful au
tumnal day, when a glorious sunset
was fast mellowing into a lovely twi
light, a vessel from England was
swiftly approaching the harbour of
Ncw-York. All on deck was gaiety
and bustle. The interior cabin pre
sent' and a different scene. Reclining
on a sola, a young and beautiful fe
male was weeping bitterly. Not
with that calm, deep grief which at
once inspires pity and respect, but
with that violent and hysterical sob
bing which betrays conflicting pas
sions. The hectic suffusion of her
cheek was alternately succeeded by
a death-like paleness—and her bro
ken exclamations spoke of shame
and dread, as well as sorrow.
A young man of graceful appear
ance was pacing the cabin with dis
ordered steps, casting, at intervals,
glances of pity, mingled with re
proach, on his agitated companion.
At length approaching, and taking
her ha;,d, he said, in a voice which
endeavoured to assume a tone oi
calmness
“ Isabella, how injurious to your
self, and how cruel to me, are these
violent bursts of sorrow ! In com
pliance with your incessant intreaties,
I consented to revisit America ; did
you not promise that if i would re
store you to your friends, you would
endeavour to be tranquil, and repress
these useless repiniugs, which have
injured your health, and my peace !
Isabella, exert your forlitude. We
• ire fust approaching your native city
—in a few hours you may behold
your family; why, then, are your
complainings renewed ! and why do
they assume so much the appearance
of reproach towards me!”
“ Stanly,” she exclaimed, sobbing
violently, “ I cannot see them! how
can I m et the meek, tearful eyes of
my mother ? how can l bear to en
counter the calm, stern glance 01
Augusta? end—oh! I cannot, dare
not, see Cornelia!”
“ M iserable girl!” exclaimed he, |
“ it is impossible to reason with you.
Have you not repeatedly assured me
that nothing, except returning to
your family, and to your native coun
try, could restore you to health !
You will meet nothing but kindness
from your r lations, and the xoife oi
Edward Stanly, may surely claim res
pect from others?”
Again Isabella promised to behave
with more calmness. The vessel
reached the harbour, and cur vuj
agers proceeded to a hotel, from
whence they determined to disputed
a note to inform Isabella's family oi
their arrival.
The time which intervened before
an answer could arrive, was spent by
Stanly in endeavouring, by mingled
arguments a .u soothings, to restore
his wife to some degree of compo
sure. But tranquility is not for those
who, like poor Isabella, have forsa
ken the paths of duty, and who, by
following the impulses of passim ,
have entailed on themselves regret
and remorse. Those only may ex
pect tranquility, who adhere to prin
ciple, and tak reason for their guide.
Isabella had learned this too late ;
and though united to the man with
out whom she had imagined she
could not hear to live, she was mis
erable.
Four years prior to this second
voyage, young Stanly bad visited
America. This voyage was ore oi
curiosity and pleasure. His parent
were dead, and he inherited irot
them an ample fortune.—He brouglc
letters of introduction to several t
the most respectable citizens of N
York, and his line figure and prepos
sessing manners, made him a distin
guishedguest in every family be visit
ed. By means o( a gentleman wit.
whom he became acquainted, Stanly
was introduced to the house of Mrs.
Howard, a widow lady of genteel for
tune, whose family consisted of thr c
daughters—all lovely, though in a
different degree. Augusta, the eld
est. was a young lady possessed of
great mental acquirements; her man
ners were dignified, though a slight
degree of hauteur sometimes threw
a shade over her more pleasing quali
ties. Y r et her heart was not desti
tute of tender feelings ; she was fer
vently attached to her family, in par
ticular to her youngest sister Corne
lia. Isabella, Mrs. Howard’s second
daughter, was on a visit of some
length, to an aunt in Boston, when
Stanly first visited her mother’s
house, consequently, he had not then
an opportunity of seeing her. But
the lovely' and interesting Cornelia
soon attracted his attention. it
would be in vain to attempt to des
cribe Cornelia; her beauty consisted
not in “ a set of features, or com
plexion;” it was the divine intelli
gence of a pure and lovely sou!,
which irradiated her countenance;
the mingled tire and sweetness which
beamed from her eyes; the ever
varying hues which sensibility, genius
and modesty, threw over her delicate
cheek; the fair and open brow, where
candour sat enthroned; the tender
sweetness of her voice, and the pen
sive softness of her smile, which con
stituted the charms of Cornelia. A
nameless grace accompanied her
slightest movement; in short, hers
was that expression of intellectual
beauty which, when seen, must be
felt, but which cannot be described.
The polished manners of Stanly,
joined to his refined taste, and classi
cal knowledge, soon rendered him a
favourite with Mrs. Howard and her
daughters. It was soon visible that
the young Cornelia was the magnet
which attracted his frequent visits.
Their admiration was mutual: Cor
nelia regarded him as a superior be
ing ; and w hen, after an intimacy of
a few months, he proposed himself
to Mrs. Howard as her future son-in
law, the proposal was received by her
with joy, and Cornelia looked tor
ward, with the happy confidence of
innocence, to a life of uninterrupted
happiness with a being who appear
ed to possess every amiable quality.
She never thought ot suspecting that
Stanly’s regard for her could ever
become less; she judged his heart
by her own, and that heart was so
tender, so confiding, so full of be
nevolence and virtue, how could it
suspect another? Stanly, who knew
that Mrs. Howard would not consent
to seperate entirely from her daugh
ter, had, when he proposed their
union, promised that he would only
take Cornelia on a visit to England,
to show, as lie said, his treasure to
his sisters and friends, and then re
turn and settle in New-York : he sent
to his isters a miniature of his in
tended bride, and the time was fixed
for their union.
About this time Mrs. Howard re
ceived intelligence that her daughter
Isabella had consented to receive, as
her future husband, a young gentle
man who had long paid his addresses
to her, and who was esteemed by the
whole family. Isabella had used the
license which is too frequently allow
ed to beauty, and had kept her lover
long in suspense. Her friends were
happy to learn that she had at length
determined to reward his constant
attachment. Mrs. Howard, in par
ticular, was rejoiced at it ; for she
knew Isabella was volatile, and acted
100 often from the impulse of a mo
mentary fancy, and she hoped that
her marriage with a man whose char
acter was exemplary, and whose hab
its were domestic, would aid in giv
ing more stability to her beautiful,
'hough volatile daughter. It was
agreed on that the marriages should
take place at the same time: and
Isabella was desired to return home
to prepare for that event. Isabella
did return—and burst upon the as
tonished gaze of Stanly in ail the
lustre ofresplcndent beauty. Never
had he beheld a being so dazzling !
Her wit and gaiety were irresistible ;
h r smile was enchantment. Corne
lia, till now the object of his highest
admiration, seemed but an ordinary
being compared with the fascinating
Isabella. She knew the power of
her beauty. She read Stanly’s ad
miration in his enraptured gaze
Coquetry was natural to her; hut in
this instance, gratified vanity paved
the way for a passion, violent as it
was sudden. Stanly appeared to her
o far superior, in person and man
ners, to the amiable man to whom
• lie had promised love and constancy,
hut in less than a week the fickle
sabella hated the engagement which
ouud her to the amiable Charles
Mortimer ; and could think, w ithout
nuddering, of supplanting her high
ouled, unsuspecting sister. Morti
mer, who was necessarily detained in
Boston, and who was to follow Isa
bi ila as soon as possible, was of
course ignorant ol the chagne in her

whom lie idolized. Stanly’s mind
was a whirl of conflicting feelings;
ihe child of prosperity, accustomed
to have his slightest wish gratified,
and ever the slave of impulse, - the
barrier which his engagement with
Cornelia opposed to his wishes, only
rendered them more ardent. Ilfs
better feelings at times predomina
ted, honour resumed her sway over
his mind, and when Cornelia stood
before him, in her calm arid innocent
loveliness, he trembled at the base
idea of inflicting pain on a being so
tender and so pure; and his soul re
volted at the projects he had halt
dared to form. The innocent cause
of his embarrassment could not avoid
noticing that his manner, at times,
seemed changed, but she was far
from suspecting the cause. The
penetrating eye of Augusta saw
farther—aud she earnestly wished for
the arrival of Charles Mqrt imer. Her
anxiety was still further incrcas and by
a severe indisposition which about
that time attacked Mrs. Howard;
and which confined herself and Cor
nelia, chiefly to the apartment of the
invalid. As Isabella’s nerves were
too weak to bear the confinement of
a sick chamber, Stanly had too fre
quent opportunities of seeing her
alone, and her too apparent tender
ness completed the triumph of pas
sion over principle. In an unguar
ded hour it was confessed to its ob
ject ; and he dared to propose to her
to forsake her friends and her lover,
to submit to a private marriage, and
accompany him immediately to Eng
land ; for he left that to stay in New-
York would be impossible. The
erring girl consented, though not
without some conflict of remorse and
shame. But she imagined she could
not be happy with any other than
the too insinuating Stanly ; and after
she had told him so, he iound it easy
to induce her compliance. Poor Isa
bella had little time tor reflection:
their plans were hastily arranged, and
as hastily executed. On pretence of
taking the air, Isabella met her lover
—they were privately married—and
a ship being ready to sail, they went
immediately on board, and before the
next morning were on their waj to
England—leaving a letter to be sent
to Mrs. Howard, after their depar
ture. This letter was a true picture
of Stanly’s mind: the incorherence
of the style, and the agitation which
was expressed in every hurried line,
were calculated to excite pity in the
generous minds of those to whom it
was addressed. But when on board
the vessel with his enchanting Isa
bella, and removed to a distance from
those to whose contempt or resent
ment he could not be indifferent,
Stanly found it less difficult to stifle
those unpleasant feelings, which
were then unavailing.
The fears of Mrs. Howard and
family were, in some degree, excited
by the prolonged stay of Isabella;
but when Stanly’s letter arrived, no
languge can describe their conster
nation. Cornelia sunk, at first, be
neath a blow so overwhelming, and
so totally unlooked for ; but that vir
tuous pride, which is woman’s surest
refuge, soon enabled her to conquer
the weakness of disappointed affec
tion, and the very tenderness of her
feqlmgs aided ner to overcome their
poignancy. When urged by Augus
ta to despise the man who could act
so base a part, she would exclaim,
“ Not so, my dear sister ; as tile hus*
band of another, I can no longer love
him as I have loved him; but as be
is the husband of my sister, it is my
duty to forgive him. ’ Mrs. Howard
saw the struggles in the bosom of
her daughter, and while she exulted
in the apparent success of her virtu
ous efforts, she could not help mourn
ing over I he different conduct of her
erring Isabella. Siic felt some de
gree of self-reproach for having
placed such implicit confidence in a
stranger ; —but Cornelia would not
suffer her mother to blame herself:
she repeatedly said to her, “my
dearest mother! it would have boon
base to have distrusted him. He
appeared to he the soul ot honour:
it was impossible to doubt him.”
Another trial awaited this amiable
family. Charles Mortimer arrived,
gay with hope and expectation ; and
though the intelligence which blight
ed his hopes, was communicated
with the utmost tenderness, and every
argument used w hich a mother could
use, wh n her child was the aggres
sor, it was too much for him : the
agitation of his feelings threw him
into a violent fever—delirium suc
ceeded. Skill and tenderness were
alike anavaililig : lie died, calling on
thd name of his faithless, but adored
Isabella. It required all Mrs. How
ard’s-fortitude to enable her to bear
this last affliction with calmness
And the firmness which had support
ed Cornelia under her own trial, al
most gave way on witnessing the
sufferings and death of poor Charles.
A deep gloom long pervaded thi
once happy family. Cornelia had
ceased to grieve for herself, hut she
thought often and deeply on what
would be the feelings of Isabella,
when the fate of Mortimer became
known to her. Mrs. Howard could
not forget, that greatly as Isabella
had offended, she was still her child :
and they all wished to receive some
intelligence of the fugitives. Mean
time the voyage to England was
prosperous and speedy, True, Isa
bella’s dream of Ijve was sometimes
disturbed by the voice of the moni
tor within ; the remembrance of her
sister sometimes would intrude, but
he strove to banish it. She would
often repeat to herself, “ Cornelia
was incapable of loving Stanly as I
love him. she is so calm, so rational,
she will soon be reconcile 1.” And
Stanly, when he looked at his beau
tiful Isabella, tried to forget that he
had forfeited his honour to obtain
her. They arrived in England; and
Stanly hastened to introduce his
bride to his relatives and friends.
Nor was it till lie observed the looks
of surprise which mingled with the
admiration with which they regarded
her, that h: recollected he had sent
to his sisters a miniature of Cornelia,
as the resemblance of his alfianccd
bride. An explanation was unavoida
ble. Aud Isabella felt humbled and
mortified on observing the expres
sion of every eye as it rested upon
her. It was too evident that some
degree of contempt for her was min
gled with their disappointment. A
sudden conviction flashed upon her
mind; her eyes wore opened to the
humiliation she had prepared for
herself. She saw that although the
relatives of iicr husband treated her
with politeness, as his wisp, they se
cretly despised the woman who could
supplant a sister—forsake her int nd
ed husband —and become a fugitive
from her friends and country. She
urns proud, and her feelings, always
irritable, sometimes broke forth in
peevish repmings, or bursts of min
gled anger and grief; and Stanly soon
discovered, that it is possible for a
female to be beautiful and fascina
ting, without being perfectly amia
ble. Isabella’s thoughts began to
take their flight more frequently
across the Atlantic. She wished to
write to her mother and sisters, but
U TLGTTUg Oi ifsixiiitt- tiad i •».» Jiro
vented her. fc-he had just formed a
determination to write immediately,
when, ir. an American paper whizi
with some others, Stanly had given
her to read, she saw an account of
the death of Charles Mortimer! The
shock was great, Her heart sug
gested a thousand fearful thoughts—
she felt that she was, too probably,
the cause of las death; for she well
knew with what devotion he had
loved her. The anxiety to hear
from her family was redoubled. She
wrote to her mother a letter, expres
sive of the state of her feelings. Be
fore an answer could arrive, the death
of ar infant, on whom they doated,
tilled both herself and Stanly with
tin most acute sorrow. Isabella’s
health began to decline in conse
quence of her anxiety—her wit and
gaiety were fled—she was miserable
—and felt t hat she deserved to be so;
for she had made no effort to subdue
the sudden passion which had caused
her so much sorrow. Poor Isabella
perceived that although Stanly’s
kindness towards her was not dimin
ished, his passionate admiration,
which was kindled by her beauty,
and had not esteem for its basis, evi
dently began to decline, She fan
cied that he regretted having left
Cornelia for her sake—and the tor
ments ot’ jealousy were added to her
other causes of unhappiness. At
length a letter arrived in answer to
her’s. Mrs. Howard could not write,
as she wished, with calmness. Au
. usta would not. The letter was
rom Cornelia It was couched in
affectionate terms, assuring her of
iier perfect forgiveness, and Lest
wishes for their happiness. Isabella
wept over this characteristic 1 tter,
and Stanly deeply felt the nobleness
of her whom lie had injured. As
Isabella’s health was now in a v. ry
declining state, her anxiety to return
to America hiV-nmc excessive. She
fancied she should he restored to
health and happiness, if she could
behold her mother and sisters, and be
assured that they actually forgave
her. Stanly could not listen unmoved
toner earnest entreaties; yet hi
s clings revolted at the thought ol
meeting her friends. The physicians
advised change of climate—and Isa
bella at length prevailed. Thev set
sail for America, and Stanly, for a
short time, hid r< aeon to rejoice in
his compliance : for his late droop
ing companion began to look and
speak more cheerfully, and to wear
again tie smile which had enchanted
him. But again peer Isabella’s doubts
and fears returned. She dreaded to
meet again those friends whom she
had so rashly left. Nor were the
i clings ol’ her husband much mor.
enviable. Vat, if he returned.tto
America not so happy as w hen he
left it, lie returned much wiser. He
had learned, in that short space ot
time, more tlum the experience of
his former life had been able to teach
him. He had learned that (he ful
filment of our most ardent w ishes
does not always insure happiness;
ami that the indulgence of passion at
the expense of principle, is generally
followed by disappointment and re
morse.
In two hours after (heir arrival in
New-York, Isabella was weeping on
fiic bosom of Cornelia! Stanly could
scarcely believe the evidence of his
senses; yet it was Cornelia. For
getful ol every thing except pity and
affection, she had flown to her sister
immediately on the receipt of his
note. Calm, dignified, yet tender
and affectionate, she gave them a
sisters welcome, with that serious
smile which over distinguished her
features, and they both felt assured
that the welcome was sincere—the
forgiveness perfect. Cornelia was
shocked at the alteration visible in
her sister’s appearance. .She con
ducted her to their mother, who re
ceived the poor Fugitive with weep
ing tenderness. And Augusta, when
she looked at her pale lace, and al
tered form, could not withhold her
pity and forgiveness. Isabella in
sisted on hearing the particulars ol
Mortimer’s death—and though cau
tiously communicated, she Jeit most
sensibly that he was the victim of her
blameable conduct. This conviction
sunk deep into her mind, and added
to her buddy illness, soon produced
an alarming change in her. It was
evident that she was fast sinking in
to the grave. The virtues and te -
derness oi Cornelia shone conspicu
ously in this distressing season ; and
Isabella clung to her as to her guar
dian angel. But it was all in vain :
she died—and the wretched Stanly
was wrung with remorse and deep
regret, flow gladly would he have
exchanged the remembrance of his
tiecting dream of bliss, fur v ars G j
actual misery could he by that means
have restored Mrs. Howard’s family
to the state in which he found it. lie
ftit the folly of his former conduct;
but repentance was now unavailing.
He dared not think of again lifting
ms hopes to the pure ami exalted
being whom he hud so wantonly for
saken He left Am rica, in (hehope
sf forgetting in scenes of busy lito,
the miseries which his dereliction
from principle had occasioned him.
But regret pursued him. Isabella
dead —and Cornelia living, though
lost to him, haunted his imagination,
and Edward Sluuly never again knew
happiness.
Cornelia was united to a man who
knew her worth and could appreci
ate it ; and who felt that mere per
sonal beauty, however brilliant, is
trifling in comparison with those in
tellectual charms, and those inborn
virtues, which throw a radiance over
the plainest features, and will always
charm when beauty has perished.
Cornelia’s life was long and happy.
She gladdened the hcartsofall around
her, forming a striking contrast to the
short career of her unfortunate sis
ter, whose guide was impulse, and
who sacrificed duty and principle, at
the altar of passion.
