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 w 15 aware of the nature ot tns situ.iticn, Inni tier forgiveness and her Lessing, lie became realty in love. | lly degrees her strength declined, and W h it was he to do ?

Still she utteied no myielding father ; all forbad linn to t : ink complaint, nor imparted to iny ode the malady that was proving on her heart ol matrimony : but "Inn hi looked down upon this innocent being, so tender and confiding, there vvas a purity in her man- Whenever even mentioned name ; but xvour! lav her her lovel’s nen, a blamcies*nt ss in her life, and n | mother's bosom and weep in silenre. 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.
