In relation to his own political opinions, he considers

The Un am of Love.
How like a dream our life appears,
A varying scent of joys and tuars—
Os bliss and woe, from which we wake,
Our last fonu ,< strop. <♦ 'o ta e;
Oh, Ixive iiow like a dream an thou,
< M* blasted hop- an ' broken vow.
It has never been determined by metaphysi
cians and philos .phers, which ol all ih -- human
passions is the strongest. So tie hive declan d
in fivmir of revenge, others in favour ot anger
and grief; but I am inclined to believe the pas
sion ot love tar the most powerful, inasmuch as
it not onlv operates itself in manv destructive
ways, hut nes origin to jcalpusv, a most mys
terious and <1 adly passion. L - .ve levels all the
distictions ct so. i. ty surmounts all the bar
riers of parental tyrranny, and int> rested opposi
tion; and if unsuccessful, terminates in jealousy,
revenge, or t c most oitter and unrelenting
h ttred.
Some years since, there resided near one ol’
our large cities a gentleman, bv the name ot
Morland, who, bv industrious habits in a me
chanical business, had acquired a competence,
and had remove.' to a pleasar t scat m the envi
rons ot the town 111 had one son and a daugh
ter. Ihe son had been e.lu ated at A .-st Point,
and alt. rwards entered th. navy, where he, at
the time I speak ot, had risen to the honourable
rank ot a lieu’enanV The aught*o. Madeline,
in her seventeenth summer, was considered
, beautiful,possessing a mild i.nd amiable disposi
j tion, connected with winning, or even bewitch
ing manners: though exce."ive praise tnd ado
ration had made her van and coquettish, which
feelings mirror had no tendency to suppress.
Her form was slender; her features’ cf tb? Gre-
cian, or rather of the Circassian mould; lips, red
as the lotus, and eyes dark, large, and liquid.
Yet, the greatest charm Madeline pospessed,
and they were not few, was the heavenly ex
■ pression, which was the very moonlight of her
I soul, and beamed upon her face. Iler heart was
pure, gentle, and refined. She was one of those
who, in the language of Moore,
“ Would blush when you praised her,
And weep when you blamed.”
It cannot then be strange that she should capti
vate many. Among those whob wed down be
fore her charms, was a young man, of high pre
tensions, who used every means in his power to
obtain the key of her heart. His name was
Brown; he was of an enthusiastic nature, and
was often heard to say, th<rt he lov. d her to dis
traction, and would vi - . hl up his life, if she were
seriously to demand it, to prove the since ity of
his passion. But Madeline appeared cold and
insensible to all the warmth of his protestations,
though her father was pleased with the pr aspect
of the alliance Biown endured his ill ccess
with calmness, until he discovered t at a rival
suitor was winding him-< L into the affections of
his own heart’s idol. He then be. a. - e distressed
and impatient. Wakeiiel i, th. rival, had been
an apprentice, a few y < ars before, to Morlai d, 1
and was far inferior m point <>f fortune, talents, 1
and high resp. ctahilttv, to Bi un. This, both
km w; and the knowledge mutually - made them
the gn at r enemies. Such are the mysteries o
love, that no ower can bind, and n laws regu !
lat< it. Madeline had long esteemed the accom
plished Brow , and had seriously stiiven to love
him; but m vain. Hence, Br wn had been al
ternat Iv encouraged and discouraged. She had
loved Wakefield without a single effort.
So perfectly fascinated was Brown, that be;
could not rest when absent from h< r: ami i sin- '
gle smile from her fair lips, was sufficient to ;
chase away all his cares, and call ba< k t the
dark chamber cl his heart, the brilliant hop
former days. One morning in June, ii st a
V. ak< field left the h. - u e, lie sought be ;>i s
en< e, to soli. it, lor th’ - last linn - perhaps, .
hand am! heart. He sou <1 her reclining n
sofa, i a splendid dress, <r .ding the Soin sos
V\ • rtcr. This he thought was a happy op; in -
tunity, and pressed her with oq int lang age
to tell him, for the last time, hat he was to de
pend upon.
“My fate,” said he, “is in vour hands. \
are the inism ss of mv d< stmy, ami on y ur u ■-
