SELECTED FOR THE GEORGIA COURIER.
the rose of the valley.
Oil! well did Lauretta merit this pret
ty cognomen; for the roseate bloom up
on her cheek, that varied with every emo
tion of her innocent heart, far surpassed
the ricli red hue of young love's favorite
flower, and her gentle breath was more
sweet than its fragrant odours ; while in
ihe bosom of her kind affectionate family,
she was as a choice bouquet, wherein her
tenderness—the even tenor of her gentle
disposition—her virtue and her amiability
appeared pre-eminent.
Who could behold so much natural
grace and loveliness wiihout admiration,
and who could admire and not love? The
rustic adulation—the importunities and
the avowals she unwilling received from
every swain, who was unfortunate enough
♦ o gaze upon her irresitible charms, would
have rendered any but the simple and un
assuming Lauretta, vain, cruel, and co-
miettish ; but she was too kind and gener
ous to delight in the pangs her beauty
had inspired ; and in lieu of rid
iculing, sympathised in the woes of those,
for whom her heart could not experience a
reciprocal affection. But notwithstand
ing the apparent insensibility of the
young Lauretta’s heart, she entertained
(although unconsciously) the tenderest
passion for her own cousin and compan
ion. Augustin was an orphan, aud had
been left in the helplessness of infancy to
the care of his uncle, who had educated
him as his «wn son, observing with finding
of genuine delight, the budding affections
of the little cousins, whir!) grew with their
growth, u.id increased with their years.—
They were - it from the firs: dawn of
their remembrance, to regard each other
ns brother and sister, and as such their af
fection was unhidden, unrestrained, and
unremarked ; for few knew ought to the
contrary,and no swain lOgurded Augus
tin as a rival ; who used to smile at the
shy and awkward advances of the smitten
shepherds, and enjoy their confusion—
but of later years, when the suitors of
Lauretta began to warm around her. like
tuneful bees about a fragrant honeysuckle,
the simple mention of a aval’s name, tho’
bo were unfavored, or even rejected by
Lauretta, caused in his breast a most dis
agree, thin sensation, to which he was
heretofore a perfect stranger, ilis cheeks
were alternately crimsoned and blanched
by these indefinable emotions ; and in
lieu of pressing iiis pretty cousin, as for-
meiiv, to listen to the declarations of her
6iglr .:y sui ors, his chiefest care was r.otv
f.» prevent their approach.
Lauretta marked his solicitude, and
the evident alteration in his manners.—
His spriglitliness was constrained ; he be-
camv pensive and abstracted ; and when
ever she addressed him, there was a hesi
tation—si nervous trerunlousnessin his le-
plics, that surprised her. She loved him
too-well to experience great inquietude at
beholding so strange a transformation, and
only solicitous for his happiness, with all
the genuine frankness of her disposition,
she kindly demanded the cause of his ap
parent uneasiness, expressing her concern
that anv fault in her should be the unin
tentional cause of it, and promising to be
directed by him in any way that he might
deem most essential to their mutual hap
piness.
Such affectionate advances, naturally
produced a declaration of his b ug cherish
ed flame, and his new-born fears ; when,
for the first time, Lauretta discovered in
ihe expression of the young Augustin’s
jeotinuMits, the reflection ot her own.—
Their virtuous passion was reciprocal,
and they were happy. Their days glided
on in the most perfect felicity, and all a-
round was like an eternal spring—where
jail was flowers, and sweets, and joyful
sunshine, unclouded by any petty cares
or jealousies. But the taire'st flowers, fade
and the mildest spring tide is oft followed
by a rigorous and gloomy winter 1
In the delightful forest surrounding the
blooming vallev, where the lovely Lauret
ta dwelt, there was a small spring ot pure
water, which gushed from a gravelly
mound, and supplied a murmuring brook,
that meandered through the forest. This
simple element was the chief beverage of
she frugal shepherds, and to this silent and
sequestered 6pot, Lauretta daily repaired
to replenish her pitcher. One day, on
arriving at the spring, she was startled by
the appearance of a stranger, who held the
bridle of a beautiful courser, which was
slacking its thirst in the limpid waters.—
She was about to retreat, but the stranger
turning suddenly round, observed her, aud
imiling, cou r teously bade her advance.
His gentle manners instantly calmed
her fears, and she modestly approached.——
With a confusion which only gave addi
tional lustre to her native charms, she fil
led the pitcher, and curtsying, wa* about
to depart. But the stranger experienced
too much pleasure in the contemplation
of the simple Lauretta, to permit her te
retire so bastly. He was a young, band-
some cavalier, attired m the most costly
habiliments, which added to the naturally
graceful and symmetrical proportions of
his elegant figure ; and withal gifted with
such bland eloquence, that although the
simple and blushing rustic would have
vain hurried frem his presence, he devised
such pertinent questions, and conducted
himself with so much unassuming ease
and gallantry, that her natural politeness
would not permit her o leave him abrupt
ly and unanswered. After detaining her
for several minutes by his inquiries, he
thanked her in the most gracious manner,
and mounting his courser, bowed her,
while his handsome and manlv features
were illuminated by a smile of ineffable
expression, and putting spurs to his impa
tient steed, he galloped off as fleetly as if
he were born on the wings of the wind,
and vanished from her sight. On her re
turn, Lauretta encountered her consin
Augustin,to whose anxious inquiry ofwhat
had occasioned her unusually long stay ;
she replied, that a noble stranger had ar
rested her to ask his way and was about
to relate to her lover, the wonder and ad
miration his gaudy trappings and apparel
had excited in hor artless breast, when
thepassing shadow of jealousy, which for
a moment darkened Augustin’s b:ow,
checked the utterance of her astonish
ment and put a seal upon her lips. But
for that whole day the vision of the cav
alier haunted her imagination ; for never
had her eyes beheld such a gorgeous habit
as he wore, or her her ears listened to
such a pleasing flow of mellifluous words
as he uttered. He seemed to her rather
like the apparition of some fairy knight
of her favorite legends, than a man of this
world : and that same night, too, her teem
ing fancy depictured his form in her
dreams.
The next day she again ventured to the
spring ; but there was neither cavalier nor
horse at its brink. Site sighed uncon
sciously with disappointment, and looked
around her as if she hoped to behold the
agreeable vision ; but she teturned unsat
isfied.
A week now passed away in the charm
ing company of her beloved Augustin,
and the stanger was almost forgotten,
when on one of her usual visits to the spot
siie beheld an embroidered glove, which
she had seen worn by the handsome cav
alier. He hid then certainly revisited
the spring, perhaps, (whispered vanity,)
in the expectation of beholding her again,
and had probably dropped his gauntlet
accidently-, or as a token to challenge
her regard. L uiretta blushed and looked
around her ; she believed no eye remark
ed her, and taking up the glove she play-
foil V displayed it on her own little hand,
and, pressing it to her rosy lips, cautiously
replaced it.
A sigh startled her, and abruptly turn-,
ing her head she beheld the gay cavalier
smiling at her elbow. Her face and neck
were crimsoned with blushes, and her
evelids drooped in confusion. She would
have precipitately fled, but hq placed his
hand upon her arm, and stayed her with
gentle force and entreaty.
’-Vith an apparent feeling of devotion,
he placed the glove she had saluted in the
breast of his silken doublet, and vowed,
by the beauteous lips that had honoured it
that he would wear it next his heart, till
that heart ceased to vibrate with the pur
est sentiments ofaffection for the angelic
creature before him ; a change which ob
livion’s death alone had powrr to effect.
These, and a thousand other tender
and flowery expressions, wmre rehearsed
to the trembling Lauretta. She became
alarmed at the ardour of his language, and
earnestly prayed him to release her.
With the most moving instances that
tongue could utter, he conjured her not to
be offended at aught that the most un
bounded love had urged him to ; and iu-
treated her, as a sign of her forgiveness,
that she would repair thither on the mor
row, and alleviate the wounds her cold
unkiudness had so cruelly inflicted. He
dropped on one knee at her feet. Lau
retta hesitated; butBappily her beatiDg
heart warned her of the impropriety of
giving encouragement to the stranger’s
-nit, and she hunied hastily away from his
dangerous presence. For several days
after this occurrence, she took the pre
caution to visit the spring at a much ear
lier hour than ordinary, and eluded the
cavalier. B it on one occasion, beingun-
fortunately demined bv some domestic
occupation considerably beyond her time,
she was tripping gaily along, and was just
on the point of crossing a stile, which lqy
in her path to the place of her destination,
when the distant clattering of horse’s
hoofs struck upon her startled ear, and
gazing in the quarter whence the sounds
proceeded, she beheld the cavalier riding
towards her.
Escape was irt vain ; she sat down up
on the stile, and overcome by her feelings,
she burst into a flood of tears. The cav
alier was presently beside her $ his lan
guage calmed her innocent apprehension
aud he assured her by the most sacred
vows, that her happiness was his sole aim;
that for worlds he would not injure her ;
and offered such sincere assurance of the
purity of bis intentions, that her fears
were abated, and Lauretta, already daz
zled by the brilliancy of his seductive eU
oquence, and prejudiced in his favour, be
gan to listen to him with more composure,
and some degree of pleasure.
Alas! from the ill-feted day, the pure
simplicity andaflectioo of Lauretta grad
ually yielded to the influence of vanity
and ambition. Augustin was Oo longer
encountered with smiles of joy and love ;
the pool deluded girt began to regard him
as a being inferior to himself,‘and unwor
thy of so valued a troasure.
The simple rustic beheld the change
with sorrow ; but his honest remonstran
ces were only met by unfeeling badin
age and heartless repartee !
So lamentable an alteration was re
marked with grief and wonder by all who
knew and loved her. But her levity and
lightness were soon succeeded by a still
more melancholy calm ; she sighed, and
wept, and fled from the consolations of
her friends, to indulge her grief in solitude.
But Augustin, notwithstanding the cru
el manner in which sire had slighted, and
eventually deserted him, still entertained
for her the truest, fondest affection ; and,
with a breaking heart, (delicately abtrain-
ed from pressing his own suit)followed her
in her wanderings with unremitting zeal,
and exerted ail his honest eloquence in
so . her to make him her confidant. But
she was deaf to the friendly voice that
was once her chief delight.
Bv degrees, however, her grief became
more tranquil, and gradually resolved it
self into a settled gloom. Her fond par
ents knew that she had loved Augustin,
and were resolved to press their union, in
the fond hope of beholding their beaute
ous Lauretta smile again : they proposed
it to her. The warm blood glowed once
more in her pallid cheeks, and her eyes
swam in tears. With a sigh whi'cli seem
ed to burst from the inmost recesses of her
sorrowing heart, she mournfully refused
her compliance with their wishes.
Augustin knel’ at her feet, and clasped
her cold trembling hands in his ; he look
ed piteously in her woeful countenance ;
but ho offered no other entreaty than his
expressive looks conveyed.
At last, overcome hy the urgent entrea
ties of her parents, Lauretta reluclautly
promised to acquiesce in their request,
and the delighted Augustin embraced her
with the fondest demonstrations of affec
tion, and shed tears of joy. Lauretta
wept too ; but they were joyless tears,
that dimmed the lustre of her lovely eyes.
The day fixed for the celebration of
their nuptials arrived. All the inhabi
tants of the happy valley were busied at
early dawn in docking themselves, or
their blooming daughters, who were to
escort the bride and bridegroom to the
neighbouring village church ; each ac
companied by some favored youth who
had won, or aspired to the conquest of
her affections. With hearts fluttering,
and palpitating with sympathy for the fears
of the loYelv bride, the lasses counted the
tardy moments till the hour of their de
parture arrived, and yet trembled when
they heard the merry peal of distant Uells
break forth.
Away they tripped with their partners,
as gay as ribbons and bouquets could ren
der them,towards the cot of Augustin and
Lauretta.
Bright and cheering, the sun burst from
tile clouds and shed its golden rays upon
the verdant valley ; and tho wild flowers
expanding, offered up their fragrant in
cense to the prime source of their beauty
and existence.
The gaiety and sprightliness rtf the
light-hearted group was, however, sud
denly overshadowed by the sudden ap
pearance of Lauretta’s venerable sire,
who ran to meet them. Wringing his
hands, and with tearful eyes, the afflicted
peasant informed them that Lauretta was
missing, that Augustin and he had sought
her in vain, and that the distracted youth
was now in search of her.
Ten minutes had scarcely elapsed since
they made the discovery. She had gone
to Iter little chamher to array herself in
her bridal clothes ; and when they sought
her, lo 1 the fair damsel had flown.
He entreated their kind sevicesin seek
ing her, and they were presently dispers
ed in every direction.
But alas! it fell to the lot of the agoni
sed Augustin to discover her.
The unfortutrute Lauretta had cast
herself in despair in the murmuring
brook which ran from the fatal spring—
thrt source of all her misery and misfor
tunes ! preferring death to infamy—and
thus untimely perished the Rose of the
Valley ; alas! in her unhappy end, that
flattering comparison proved too correct;
for even as the gay rose is blasted and
withered by the bleak and ungenial
winds of winter, so was the ‘Rose of the
Valley,’ the lovely Lauretta, blighted and
destroyed in the springtide and prime of
youth and beauty, by the unhallowed
breath of seduction.
