timers grew up to man’s estate, and
married at the early age of twenty,
an interesting woman, by whom he
j.ad an only son— the hero of this
humble tale.
Edward, the father, by a success
full course of industry, had obtained
a considerable competency, with
which he educated his son, and at the
opening of the war between our coun
try anil Great Britain, in compliance
with the wishes ol Edmund, then at the
earlv age of nineteen, he obtained for
him a subalterns commission, and he
entered the regular army, of the
northwestern frontier. It is not our
purpose to enter into details ol the
battles which were so bravely fought,
so gloriously contested, on our
northwestern borders, and in several
of which our young hero shone con
spi ‘uously. His youthful ardor often
Jed hi in into the thickest of the fight,
and his honorable deportment Won the
admiration of his commander and
brother officers, as well as the esteem
of the soldiery. He was several
times wounded, though not danger
misty, and at the close of the war. re
turned home, covered with glory,
when he soon afterward married El
l ui Crawford, a young I idy of a.ma
ble character, and respectable family,
to whom he had been affianced wliil
hr was yet a school hoy, immediate!}
previous to his entering the army.
The retirement of the country bui
ill agreed with the active habits and
disposition of Edmund, and through
the assistance of some friends, he d
termined to remove to a distant par
of the country, and embark into the
mercantile profession, to which hi”
education and talents seemed better
suited. With this view, he s ttled in
anew and flourishing village in tin
Western part of his native state, with
hrl extensive sto< k in trade, and every
probability of ultimate success.
Soon after Edmund had settled per
mauently* one captain B, a brother
officer, located in the same village and
engaged in the same profession. This
was entirely unexpected to Edmund,
end afforded him much happiness*
thus to meet with a friend whom lie
had not seen since the regiment, to
which they had both belonged, was
disbanded. Edmund give him a cor
dial welcome to little village so*,
ciety, and offered him the opportunity
of hoarding in his family, which was
accepted. They soon became as in
timate friends, as they had been dur
ihg their intercourse in the army of
their country.
Prosperity dawned alike upon their
efforts. In two or three years active
business, each had amassed a consi
derable property, when Edmund was
suddenly attacked With the billious
fever of the Climate, which carried
him off in the short space of ten days,
leaving a disconsolate Widow and one
child, to deplore their early and irre
pai able loss. Wretched, indeed, was
the disconsolate Ellen. Nurtured in
pride and affluence, scarcely yet in
her sixteenth year, she had never be
fore known misfortune.
Captain B. stepped forward and
offered his services, in settling her
affairs, and at her earnest solicitation,
received the legal appointment of
administrator on the estate of her
late husband. Artful and insinuat
ing, he soon acquired an entire con
trol over her feelings, and with her
concurrence, the estate was placed
entirely in his hands, and used by
him, to promote his own artful pur
poses. The Widow, at his urgent re
quest, became an inmate of his fami
ly, then under the direction of a mai
den sister, whose amiable deportment
and high respectability, she deemed
a sufficient guarantee for sustaining
the respectability of her character.
But who can guard against the
wily serpent, that lurks beneath the
tuft of grass under our feet. The
base B. laid and executed a snare
which was to destroy the bloom of in
noce and virtue. Trained in the
sehool of vice, he knew but too well
the tender flower of virtue, nur
tured by generous confiding woman,
bends before the guise of friendship,
and yields to the power of confidence,
under the firmest pledges of honora
ble address and intended marriage,
he obtained the in istcry over her feel
ings, and finally seduced her from the
path of innocence. A suspicion of
Undue familiarity, arose in the mind
of the sister, and at ablate hour one
night, she discovered the guilty pair
in a private bed room, in an extreme
part of the house. Soaine and con
irision could not appease her feelings,
and they were obliged, immediately,
to leave the house. The guilty para
mour conducted the wretched Widow
to an adjoining town, where she re
mained for a considerable time.
The base seducer, pressed by his
unfortunate victim, finally refused the
only reparation in his power, the fui
fitment of his plighted oaths. A dn
appointment, so serious, preying upon
her mind, produced a lingering dis
ease, winch, in a few months, termi
nated her life. She died a broken
hearted maniac, in indigence and
wretchedness—refused, even at the
last hour, a servant, from the numer
ous establishment, to minister to her
wants; while her unprincipled seducer
yet lives in affluence, embezzled from
ler property, tun it is to be hoped, la
ooriug under the harrowing sting of
•• the worm that never dies.”
