THE PRIDE OF THE VILLAGE.
May no svolf houle; no screech owl stir
A wing about thy sepulchre!
JNo boysterous winds or storme* come hither,
To starve or w itber
Thy soft sweet earth ! but like a spring
Love keeps it ever flourishing Hskrick.
In the course of nn excursion in one
of the remote counties of England, I had
struck into one of those cross roads that
lead through the more secluded parts of
the country, and stopped one afternoon
at a village, the situation of which wu*
beautifully rural Sa retired. There was
an air of primitive simplicity about its
inhabitants, not to be found in the villa
ges which tie on the great coach roads.
1 determined to prss the night there, and
having taken an early dinner, strolled
out to enjoy the neighbouring scenery.
My ramble, a? is usually the case with
travellers, soon led me to the church,
which stood at a little distance from the
village. Indeed, it was an object of some
curiosity, its old tower being completely
overrun with ivy,-so that only here and
there a jutting buttress, nn angle of grey
wall, or a fantastically carved ornament,
f eered through the verdant covering.—
t was a lovely evening. The early part
of the day had been dark and showery,
but in the afternoon it had cleared up,
and though sullen clouds still hung over
head, yet there w as a broad tract of gol
den sky in the west, from which the set
ting sun gleamed through the dripping
leaves, and lit up all nature into a melan
choly smile. It seemed like the parting
hour of a good chri=tiun, smiling on the
sins and sorrows ot the world, anti giving,
in the serenity of his decline, an assur
ance that he will rise again in glory.
I had seated myself on a half-sunken
tombstone, and was musing, as one is apt
to do at this sober-thoughted hour, on
past scenes, and early friends—on those
who were distant, and those who were
dead—and indulging in that kind of me
lancholy fancying, which has in it some
thing swcc'.er even than pleasure. Eve
ry now and then, the stroke of a bell from
the neighbouring tower fell on my car $
its tones were in unison with the scene,
and instead ofjarring, chimed in with my
feelings, and it was some time before 1
recollected, that it must he tolling the
knell of some new tenant of the tomb.
Presently -I 5011’ a funeral train mov
ing across the village green ; it wound
slowly along a lane, was lost, and reap
peared through the breaks of the hedges,
until it passed the place w here I w as sit
ting. The pall was supported by young
girls, dressed in white, and another, a-
bout the age of seventeen, walked before,
bearing a chaplet of white flowers ; a to
ken that the deceased w as a young and
unmarried fen»lc.* The corpse was
followed by the parents. They were n
venerable couple of the better order of
peasantry. The father seemed to re
press his feelings ; but his fixed eye,
contracted brow, and deeply-furrowpd
countenance, showed the struggle that
was passing within. Ilis wife hung on
his artn, and wept aloud with the convul
sive hursts of a mother’s sorrow.
1 followed the funeral into the church
* For some notice of lh»’ custom, see Sketch
Book, No. IV.
The bier was placed in the centre aisle,
and the chaplet of white (lowers, with .1
pair of white gloves, were hung over the
seat which the deceased Ivad occupied.
Every one knows the sout-sui>duing
pal bos of the funeral sen ice; (for who
has been so fortunate as not to billow
some one tic lias loved to the tomb i) but-
w hen performed over the remains of in
nocence and beauty, thus laid low in the
bloom of existence—what can be more
atlecling ? At that simple, hut most so
lemn consignment of the body to the
grave—“ Earth to earth—ashes to H»hes
—dust to dust!” the tears of Hie youth
ful companions of the deceased tloweii
unrestrained. The fattier still seemed
to struggle with his feelings, and to com
fort himself with the assurance that the
dead arc ble* . J w hich die in the Lord :
but the mother only thought of her child
as a flower of the held, cut dew u At wi
thered in the midst of its sweetness ;
she was like Rachel, “ mourning over
her cluldreu, and would not l*.- comfort
ed.”
On returning to the ian, I learnt tin
whole story of the deceased. It was a
simple one, and such as has often been
told, blie had been the beauty pride
of the village. Her father had once been
an opulent farmer, hut was reduced in
circumstances. Tin* was an only child,
and brought up entirely at home, in th«-
simplicity of rural life. She had been
tin: pupil of the village pastor, the favo
rite lamb of liis little flock. The good
man watched over tier education with
paternal care ; it was limited, and suita
ble to the sphere in which she was to
move, for lie only sought to make her an
ornament to her station in life, not to
raise her above it. The tenderness and
indulgence of her parents, and the ex
emption from all ordinary occupations,
bad fostered a natural grace ami delica
cy of character, that accorded with the
fragile loveliness of her fonn. She ap
peared like some tender plant of the
garden, blooming accidentally amid the
hardier natives of the fields.
T he superiority of her charms wa»
felt and acknowledged by her compan
ions, hut without envy, for they were
*urpn**ed by the unassuming gentleness
and winning kindness of her manners.—
It might be truly said of her,
•• This is the prettiest low-born lass, that ever
Kan on the green-sward : nothing she docs or
seem*,
But smacks of something greater than herself;
Too noble for this place."
T he village was one of those seques
tered spGls, which still retain some ves
tiges of old English customs. Jt had its
rural festivals arid holy day pastimes, and
kept up some faint observance of the
once popular vites of May. On one of
these occasions, when the villagers had
reared the May pi le on the green, and
she, as queen of Slav, and crowned with
flowers, was presiding at their sport*,
she attracted the notice of a yoitng 0II1-
eer, whose regiment had recently been
quartered in the nt ighborhood. He rea
dily found means to make her acquaint
ance, and paid his court to her in that
unthinking way in which young officers
•are too apt to trifle with rustic simplicity.
There was nothing in his advances to
startle r-r alarm. He never even talked
of love ; but there are modes of making
it, more eloquent than language, and
which convey it subtilely and irresisti
bly to the heart. The beam of the eye.
tlie tone of the voice, the thousand ten
dernesses which emanate from every
word, and look, and action—these form
the true eloquence of love, and can al
ways be felt and understood, but never
lescribed. Ts it a wonder that they
should readily win a heart, young, guile
less, and susceptible ? For her, she lov
ed almost unconsciously ; she scarcely
inquired what was the growing passion
that w as absorbing every thought 4c feel-
or what were to be its consequen
ces. She, indeed, looked not to the fu
ture. When present, his looks L words
occupied her whole attention ; when sib
sent, she thought hut of what had passed
at their recent interview. She would
wander with him through the green lanes
and rural scenes of the vicinity, lie
taught her to see new beauties in nature :
he talked in the language of polite and
cultivated life, and breathed into her car
the witcheries of romance and poetry
I’erhaps there could not have been a
passion, between the sexes, more pure
than this innocent girl's. The gallant
figure of hor youthful admirer, the splen
dour of his military array, might at first
have charmed her eye ; but it was not
these that had captivated her heart. Her
attachment had something in it of idola
try. She looked up to him as to a being
of a superior species. She felt in his so
ciety the enthusiasm of a mind naturally
delicate and poeticdl, und now first awa
kened to a keen perception of the beau
(ifuI and grand. Of the sordid distincti
ons of rank and fortune, she thought no
thing ; it was the difference of intellect
of appearance, of manner, from the rus
tic society to which she had been accus
tomed, that elevated him in tier opinion
She would listen to him with charmed
ear and downcast look of mute delight
and her cheek would mantle with enthu
siasm'! or if ever she ventured ashy
glance of timid admiration, it was
juickly withdraw n, and she would sigh
and blush at the idea of her comparative
unworthiness.
Her lover was equally impassioned
but his passion vvas mingled with feeling*
of a coarser nature. He had begun flic
connexion in levity ; for he had often
heard his brother officers boast of their
village conquests, and thought some tri
umph of the kind necessary to his repn
tation as a man of spirit. Itot he was too
full of youthful fervour, liis heart ha
not yet been rendered sufficiently col
and selfish by n wnnderingand udissipu
ted life; it caught tiro from the very
fi inte it sought to kimlle , and before he could not die 111 peace, until she had sent

malady that was proving on her heart

beseeching aiodesdy in her looks, that , ilcr poor parents luing, in mi te anxiety,
awed down every licentious feolin
vein did he try to fortify himself, by a
thousand heartless examples of men of
t.ishion, and to eta It the glow of gene
rous sentiment, with that cold derisive
levity with which he had heard them
talk ot f. male virtue ; whenever he came
in her presence, she was still surround
ed by that mysterious, but impassive
charm of virgin purity,in which no guil
ty thought ran live.
The sudden arrival of orders for the
n iiinient to repair to the continent, com
pleted the contusion of his mind. Ho re
nt fined fir a short time iu a state of the
bio.*! painful irresolution-; he hesitated
to communicate the tiding**, until the day
it mure lung was at huiiil; when he gave
uer the intelligence in the course of an
evening ramble.
The idea of parting had never before
occurred to tier. It broke iu at once
upon tier dream of felicity ; she looked
upon it as a sudden and insurmountable
evil, and wept with the guileless sitnph-
aity of a child. He-tlrevv her to his bo-
*0111, and kissed the tears from her soft
cheek, nor did lie meet with a repulse,
tor there are moments of mingled sor
row and tenderoi ss, which hallow the
caresses of affection. He was naturally
mipptuous. ant! the «ight of beauty appa
rently yielding iu his at ms, the confi
dence of his power over her, and the
dread of lo*ing her forever, all conspir
ed to overwhelm his better feelings—he
ventured to propose thatshe should leave
her home, a.id be the companion of his
fortunes.
He vvas quite a novice in seduction,
and blushed and faltered at his own base
ness ; bat so innocent of mind was his
intended victim, thatshe at first was at
1 loss to comprehend his meaning;—
and why she should leave her native vil
lage, and the humhle roof of her parents?
IV hen at last Hie nature of his proposals
flashed upon her pure mind, the effect
was withering. She did not weep—she
did not break fortli into reproaches—
she said not a word—but she shrunk
bark aghast as from a viper, gave him a
look of angui*h that pierced to his very
out, and clasping her hands in agony,
fled, as iffor refuge, to her father’s cot
tage.
The officer retired, confounded, hu
miliated, and repentant. It is uncertain
u hat might have been the result of the
conflict of liis feelings, had not his
thoughts been diverted by the bustle of
departure. New scenes, new pleasures,
tnd new companions, soon dissipated liis
self reproach, and siifled his tenderness.
A’et, amidst the air of camps, the revel
ries of garrisons, the array of armies, and
even the din of battles, his thoughts
would sometimes steal back to the scene
of rural quiet and village simplicity—the
white cottage—the footpatli along (ho
ilver brook and up the hawthorn hedge,
ind the little village maid loitering along
it, leaning on his arm, anil listening to
him with eyes beaming with unconscious
affection.
The shock which the poor girl had
received, in the destruction of all Iter
ideal world, had indeed been cruel.—
Paintings and hystericks had at first sha
ken her tender trame, and were succeed
ed by a settled and [lining melancholy.
Stic Ivad beheld from her window the
march of the departing troops. She had
seen her faithless lover borne oil', as if
in triumph, amidst the sound of drum Si
trumpet, and the pomp of arms. She
strained adust aching gaze after him, as
ttie morning sun glittered about tils fi
gure, and his plume waved in the breeze:
lie passed away like a bright vision from
her sight, anil left her all in darkness.
It would be trite to dwell on the par
ticulars of her after story. It vvas, like
other tales of love, melancholy. She n-
voided society, and wandered out alone
in the walks she had most frequented
with her lover. She sought, like the
stricken deer, to weep in silence A: lone
liness, and brood over the barbed sor
row that rankled in her soul. She would
sometimes be seen sitting in Hie porch of
the village church late of an evening ; &
the milkmaids, returning from the fields,
would now and then hear her voice sing
ing some plaintive ditty in the hawthorn
walk. She became fervent in her devo
tions at church, and as the old people
saw her approach, so wasted away, vet
with hectic bloom, and that hallowed air
which melancholy diffuses round the
form, they would make way for her,
for something spiritual, and, looking af
ter her, would shake their heads in gloo
my foreboding.
She felt a conviction that she was has
tening to the tomb, but looked forward
to it :rs a place of rest. The silver cord
that had bound her to existence vvas
loosed, and there seemed to be no more
pleasure under the sun. If ever her
gentle bosom had entertained resent
ment against her lover, it vvas extinguish
ed. She vvas incapable of angry passi
tins, and in a moment of saddened ten
derness, she penned him a farewell let
ter. It vvas couched in the simplest
language ; but touching from its very
simplicity. She told him that she vvas
<lying, and did not conceal from him that
liis conduct vva* the cause. She even
depicted the sufferings she had experien
ced ; but cor.eluded vv ith saying, that she
over this filling blossom of neir Impi
•stillflattering themselves ilia; it might a-
giun revive to freshness, and that the
bright unearthly bloom which sometimes
flushed her cheek might be die promise
of returning health.
In this nay she was scaled between
them one Sunday afternoon; her hands
were clasped in tiieir’s, the lattice n ns
thrown open, and the soft iir that stole
in. brought with it the fragrance ot the
clustering honeysuckle, that her own
hands had trained round the window.
Her father had just beui reading a
chapter in the bible ; it spike of the va
nity of worldly tilings, ami the joys of
heaven ; it seemed to have liffused com
fort and serenity through her bosom.—
Her eve was fixed 011 the distant village
church—the bell had tollod for the e-
vcning service—the Inst villager "as
lagging into the porch—a«io every tiling
had sunk into that hallowed stillness pe
culiar to the day of rest. Her parents
"ere gazing on her with yearning hearts.
Sickness & sorrow, which piss so rough
ly over some faces, had given to bur's
live e\|vression of a seraph's. A tear
trembled in her soft blue e\e. Was she
thinking of her faithless lover ?—or were
her thoughts wandering to that distant
church-yard, into w hose bo urn she might
soon he gathered !
Suddenly the clang of hoff* were heard
-—a horseman galloppcd to the cottage ;
he dismounted before the "indow—the
poor girl gave a faint exclamation, anil
sunk back in her chair :—it was her re
pentant lover ! He rushed into the house
and flew to clasp her to In* liosom ; hut
her wasted form—her death-like coun
tenance—so wan, yet so lovely in its de
solation, smote him to the soul, and tic
threw himself in tin agon; at her feet—
tilie was too faint to rise—-lie attempted
to extend her trembling iiand—her lip*
moved as if she spoke, but no sound wa*
articulated—she looked down upon bin
with an expression of unutterable ten
derness, ami closed her eyes forever. -
£uch are the particulars which I ga
thered of this village story. I have pas
sed through the place sit; e, and visited
the church again front a better motive
than mere curiosity. It vvas a wintr
evening; the trees were stripped of
their foliage ; the church yard looked
naked and mournful, and the wind rust
led coldly through the dry grass. Ever
greens however, had been planted about
the grave of the village favorite, & osier*
were bent over it to keep tiie turf unin
jured. The church door was open, and
1 stepped in.
There hung the chaplt't of flowers A:
the gloves, as on the day of the funeral :
the flowers were withered, it is true, but
care seemed to have been taken that no
(hist should soil their whiteness. 1 have
seen many monuments, where art has ex
hausted its powers to awaken the sym
pathy of the spectator, but 1 have met
with none that spoke more touchingly to
my heart, than this simple, but delicate
memento of departed innocence.
