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.” EUGENIO. > Siieriff’s Suie. l/tpll be sold on the first Tuesday ** iti August next, at the Court .louse in Warren ton, Warren coun y, between the usual Hours of sale, the following property, to wit: One negfo girl Malinda, a bdut eighteen years of age: Levied on as the property of Jesse I) tire* n, to satisfy two executions one in favor of .VMton Antlioiiy and the other in favor of Asa Holt vs. the said Jes,e D.
