LOVE,OF COUNTRY.
Breathes there ft man, with soul so dead,
Who never U himself hath said,
This is ray own, ray native land I
Whose heart hath ne’er within him horn’d,
A* home his footsteps he hath turned,
From wandering on a foreign strand!
ffsur.h there breathe, go. mark him well .;
For him .no Minstrel raptur*;* swell;
Hq-h though tits'tittes, proud his rsaroe.,
Boundless his wealth as wish can tlahn ;
LKip'se those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch frneatred all iraseif,
liviDgj shall forfeit fair renown,
\nd, doubly dyi<;g, shall go down
r ?’o the vile dust, from whense he sprung,
Unwept, uiihonored, and unsung.

THE DiS APPOINTED RRIDE.
At an age when the heart is 6-
pen to every repression, and forms
with the same fecility, engage
ments and connections, which in
a man of riper years, would be the
fruit of esteem, and observation,
St A- ■■’-was travelling from
his native province to explore the
wonders of the metropolis which
lie had as yet beheld with the
eyes of hope. In the coach which
was to convey him to Paris, he
found a young man of pre-posses
sing appearance; a conversation:
began that terminated in proles- i
nations of friendship, warmly re j
iterated on both sides. Mutual
confidence flowed from their lips, >
and all the secrets of their youth
were revealed. T t was then that
St. A—— learned that his new t
friend was sent to Paris to marry
a young lady whom he had ne
ver seen, hut whom his father Ik
family had chosen for his bride
with the consent of her relations.;
The journey finished without a
ny accident, and they arrived in
the morning, at Paris, where they
took lodgings in a public hotel.
Scarcely, bad they taken posses
sion of their apartment when the
young man was seised with a bil
ious cholic, which in less than
fwo hours, deprived him of his
existence. Affected at the melatv I
choly fate of his young acquaint-j
■mce, Whose tender!
r&ttenuons had not been able jto
save him, thought it his duty to
inform the father of the future
bride, of the overthrow of his ex
pectations ; and taking with him
the letters and port folio of his
friend, repaired to the house of
that gentleman.
The servant who opened the
door, conscious that his master
expected his son in law, announ
ced St. At- —, as such without
enquiring who he was. The fa
ther without giving him tints’ to ex
plain him sell, embraced him with
great eagerness and presented
him to his wife as her son, and to
her daughter as her husband.
St A——, naturally gay and
volatile could not resist the temp
tation of deceiving them a little
longer,- and played his part ex
tremely well. He gave the letters;
and being perfectly acquainted’
I with the secrets and affairs of hiss
j friend, returned the nost satis-’
! factory answers to their ques
tions. He succeeded especially in
captivating the attention of the
young lady, who withK sidelong,
glances, admired the features and
fine shape with which nature had
blest her lover. Dinner was an
ttomneed, and St. A——*, was pla
ced by the timid bride; and the
whole iamily yielded their hearts
to joy and satisfaction. The
young lady spoke little, answered
with difficulty, and often b ushed
while St. A-——was polite and
ardent in his attention towards
her; and though the expression
or his face was naturally serious,;
his conversation was . pleasing &■
cheerful.
After dinner, the father enter
ed into all the details necessary
to settle the marriage, when sud
denly, St A. rose and taking his
hat, seemed anxious to retire.
“ Are you going to leave us?” ex
claimed the father. “ Yes,” an
swered 3t. A-—“ important
business compels me to it,”
“ What business can ybti have in
a city, where you are a stranger ?
Perhaps you want to draw money
from a banker? my purse is"en
tirely at your service; and if you
will absolutely have recourse to
a banker,! may send some body
who will transact the business for
you.” No, no, said St. A--—-,
“ yoU are mistaken; it is a busi
ness which I alone can transact.”
—While they were speaking, St.
A ——, continued to walk to
wards the door, and they were
soon in the hail* “ Now we are a
lone, said St. A—--, and all the
ladies cannot hear us, I will tell
you that this morning an accident
happened to me. I was attacked
by a bilious cholic and died. I
promised to be buried at 6 o’clock,
and you will easily conceive that
I must attend the place of my
rendezvous; for not being known
in this part of the world, if I fail
ed to be exact to my word, it
would wake suspicion of inatten
tion to business that would prove
prejudicial to my character.
The father listened to him with
astonishment; but taking the
j whole for a joke, returned to the
| ladies bursting with laughter and
irelated the cause of his son-in
j laws hurried departure,—While
[ they were still conversing upon
the subject, the clock struck six
It was soon seven, and the family
was alarmed at not seeing S. A.
Half an hour after, the father sent
to tne hotel to inquire. The ser
vant entrusted with his commis
sion, asked for him under his.re
al name * aftd received for answer,
“that he had arrived there at
nine in the morning, died at ele
ven, and-was hurried at six.” It
would be difficult to express the
surprize of the whole family at
receiving this information; and as
St. A . left his lodgings, and
never* visited them again, a gene
ral belief was spread around that
it was a Gh6st that had spent the
day with Mr. N. in social enjoy
ment and conversation.
