SOLDIER’S ORPHAN. A TALE OF WATERLOO. I overtook on the road a^reffunent of Highlanders, then on their iuarS*rTor Cork, where they were f6 lands. It was a spring of 1815. *1 < and the arms jlfAtM tenng in martial d pated tl * or.!he ~7ethar- .oining in the Shining ’ right, rite were glit- pluraes, E , t oon dissi- ncy from an ardent, and opened V I«» a few moments rthe whole career, and l gh rank and covered'with native village,’ to my mother. The first slop to this motion was easily obtiued. In n ^uig the entire of the night, I quitted the T shattered remains of the gallant regiment I L whose ranks I had that day the honour f\ of standing. The moon was wading through / ^ /scattered masses of dark and heavy clouds, •’> when I commenced my search for my friend, iTHe light was doubtful and uncertain; yet ’ it was easy to keep along the track thftt marked the last career of Ponsonhy. Slnid- dering, lest in every face I should recog nise my friend, l passed by, and sometimes trod upon the cold and motionless heaps, which now looked so unlike the “ fiery masses of living valour” that a few hours before had commingled with a concussion more dreadful than the earthquake’s shock. Although I at first felt a certain convictiou of his fate, I afterwards began to hope that the object of m> search had, contrary to his prediction survived the terrible encounter. I was about to retire when a heap of slain, in a ploughed field, on which the moon was now shining clearly, attracted my notice, Literally piled on each other, were the bo dies of five cuirassiers ; and lying beneath his horse was the dead body of my friend. You may form some idea of my astonish ment, on finding, by a nearer inspection, that his head was supported and his neck entwined by the arms of a female, from whom also the spirit had taken its depar ture ; but you can form no conception of the ’^rrqr I felt at beholding, in this scene of carnage and desolation, in the very arms of death, ami on the bosom of a corpse, a living infant, sleeping calmly, with the moon beam 'resting on its lovely features, and a smile playing on its lips, as if 1 angels were guarding its slumbers and inspiring its dreams ! Arid who knov'-s but perhaps they were ? The conviction now flashed on my mind, that these were the wife and child of my unfortunate, friend ; and the letters we afterwards fo’jnd <?a the person of the for- seemeuVto looking figure apmtoredat my bed side, and j beckoned me to him. I aVose, not without trepidation, allow, and my noc turnal visitor speedily Conducted mo to this identical tree, and pointing to a particular spot under it, which is still impressed on my recollection, fixed his eyes on mine, rind uttered the monosyllable “ Dig.” “ Well what ofdat gaid Hans. \ “ Listen to me, Sir, and you shall hear.

Th..; eye of the Dutchman expanded to the, size l one of his own Duck’s eggs; )k hugged Uis protogee about the neck, and promised, in his transport, that he should rharry his daughter Katreen, who blushed at this permission, like a full blown peony,'' An equitable division was made of the specie, and Hans’ portion was deposited in the family chest. Jonathan having busi ness to transact at Philadelphia, pfipposed that Hans should give him bills for his part, they being more portable, and he w-as com pelled to carry his money with him. Hans readily consented to this, and Jonathan de parted—promiiiing on his returu, with the assistance of the minister to change the name of Miss Catherine Keeler, to that of Mrs. Jonathan Doolittle.
