Georgia Scenes, Incidents, Characters, 4fc The Giiarmhig Greatui’C,” as « W fe. (Continued from our last.) The reader will remember that we took leave of George Baldwin, the mo nent after he took leave of Miss Smith. Though it was nearly twelve o’clock at night when he reached his office, he could not sleep until he laid the ad ventures of the evening before his fathci and mother. The return mad brought him a letter I from his parents, written by his mother’s hand, which we regret we cannot give a place in this narrative. Suffice it to say, it was kind and affectionate, but entirely too cold for the tem perature of George’s feelings. It admitted the intrinsic excellence of Miss Smith’s views and sentiments, but expressed serious appre hensions that her habits of life would prove an insuperable barrier to her ever putting them in full practice. “We ail admit, my dear George” ~ said the amiable writer, “the vain * of industry, > economy—in short, of all the domestic and so- j ciul virtues; but how small the number who , practice them! Golden sentiments are to be , picked up any where. In this age they are upon tl e lips of every body, but we do tint find that they exert as great an influence upon the morals of society, as they di I in the infancy of out republic, when they were less talked of. For ourselves, wo confess we prize the gentle man or lady who Habitually practices one ehris t iin virtue, much higher than we do the one who barely lectures eloquently upon them all. But we are not so weak or so unchartable as to suppose, fliat none who discourse fluently upon them, can possess them." * “The whole moral winch we would ucducc from the foregoing remarks, is, one which your own observation must have taught you a thou sand times; that but little confidence is to be reposed in fine sentiments which do not come recommended by the Lie and conduct of the person who retails them. And yet familiar as • you are with this truth, you certainly have more command over your judgment, than have most of young men of your age, it you do not en tirely forget it the moment you hetir such sen • timents from the lips ot “<t lady possessing strong personal attractions.' I here is a charm in beauty which even philo ’pliy is constrained to acknowledge, and which youth instinctively transfers to all the moral qualities of its posses sor.” “When you come to know the elements ol which l.tippm ’.ss is compo- >d, you uni I as tonished to find, that with few exceptions they are things whteh you now consider lhe veriest trifles imaginable. It is a happx mdina'iou of Providence, that it should be so; for this bungs matrimonial bliss within the reach ol all classes of persons.” * * “Harmony ot thought an I feeling upon the little daily occurrences of life, congeniality id' views and sentiments, In tween vonrs. lv< s and your connexions on either side, similarity ot habits and pursuits among your immediate r< 1- atives and friends, it not essential to nuptial bliss, arc certainly its chu f ingredient.-." ‘‘Having pointed you to the sources ot con jugal felicity, vour owe ju Ig n nt will spire n.y trembling hand the painful duty of pointing you to those fountains of bitt rness and w o—but I forget lam representingyour lather a- well a myself.” • George read the long letter from which ta foregoing < xtracts are taken, with det ( > inter cst, and with some alarm; but he was not in a situation t > profit by Ins parents’ counsel-. He had visited Miss Smith repeatedly in t < tune he w is wailing to hear from Ins pirents; and though hehad discovered many little foiMes in her character, he found a ready apology, or mi easy remedy for t!rc n all. The lapse ot a tew ruuuths found them en gaged; and George, the happiest mortal on earth. “And now, my dear Evelina,” said he, as soon as they had inter .hang • I th nr vow -, “I go to render m> s II w ithy < ’ the honor you have contorted upon me. My <tud;e-, which love, doubt and anxiety have 100 long inter rup ♦ d. shall now be renewed with red >ub!cd in- gtyffiihiaaimar aiaa.it» x ow, ,»r. & iv. jn ®i a © gj j a .e <& © ta iib ©ui tensity. My Evelina’s interest being associa ted with all my labors, w ill turn them to pleas ures; my honor, being hers, I shall court it with untiring zeal. She will, therefore, excuse me, if my visits are not repeated in future quite as often as they have been heretofore,” “What a’ ready, Mr. Baldwin!” exclaimed she weeping most beautifully. “Why no, not for the world, it my dear Eve lina says not! But I thought tiiat—l flattered myseb—l hoped—my Evelina would find a sufficient apology in the motive.” Tire little mistake was rectifi d in the course of an hour, and they parted more in raptures with each other than they had ever been. George continued his visits as before, and in the mean time his Business begun t.rsuftcr ir<mj of which his clients occasionally re minded him, with all the frankness which one exhibits at seeing a love affair earned on witii too much zeal, and at his expense. In truth, George’s heart had more than once entertained a wi-h (for his lips dare net utter it) that his changing i velina’s affection could come down to a hundred ol Wedgewood, when the circuit commented, and gave him a tempory respite. The < veiling before he set out, tie spent with his “charming Evelina,” of course, and the in terview closed witii a most melting scene; out I may not stop to describe it. Candor con strains me to say, however, that George got over it befor he reached his office, which he entered actu div whistling a ine.ry tune. He was at the second Court of the circuit, and had been from home neaily a fortnight, when one of his friends addressed him with - “i’ll tell you what it is Baldwin, you’d better go home, or Dr Bibb will cut you out. Theie have been two or tli ee parties in town since you come away, at. all of which Miss Smith and Bibb were as tlii< kas two pick-pockets. The whole town's talking about them. I heard a young lady say to tier, she’d tell you how she was carrying on with Bibb, and she declared upon her word and honor, (looking ktllnijeriously at Bibb,) that she knew you only as her father’s collecting attorney.” George reddened deeper and deeper at very w ord of this; but passed it off’ w ith a hearty hectic laugh. It was on Thursday afternoon that he receiv ed this intelligence, and it met him flirty mil s from home, and twenty-live from the n xt court in order. Two ol his cases were yet undispo sed of. Os these, he gave hasty notes to one of his brethren, in order to guide him it he should be forced to trial, but instructing him to continue them it he could. I laving made these arrangements, Friday afternoon at five o’clock f'Und his jaded horse at his < ffi< c door. George tarried here no longer than was ueces sarv to change his uppprol, and th< n tie hasten ed to the habitation of his “charming Evelina.” He was received at the door by a servant, who escorted him to the drawing room, and who, to heighten Evelina’s joy by surprise, n structed her maid to tell her, that there was a ■‘cntleman in the dra ring room who wished to j see her. Minute after minute rolled away, and she did not make her appearance. After he had been kept m suspense tor nearly a quarter of an hour, she entered the room dressed in biidal richness and taste “\V hy, is it you!’’ said she, rushing to him in transports: “I thought it was Dr. Bibb, “And who is Dr. Bibb, Evelina?’’ said («rorge. i “He’s a vonng pl>\sician, with whom 1 had a partial acquaint.mce in I’hdadelphi i, and who Las just s' tth d himself in this place.

Here Miss Evelina burst into tears as usual; but there being a little pas-ion mingled with her tears on this occasion, her weeping was not quit, a mtere.-lmg as it had been bcfori© It sub hied George, however, ai d pav <1 the way t ■ a r conciliation. lhe obnoxious < \pr< s-ion wa explaincd. lather awkwardly, indeec, 'mt - uis fietonly; ar. i Mi- breen-.an was a qmtt» d ot all blame. .Matters were i :-! placed m this p isture, when a servant arrivctl to inform tL orge “that something was t!ie matter w ith m- i >rs ■, an l Mr. Cox\his laud! >rd' thought he was rung l » die-" Gc rge rase, Yvas liastemng to the relict ot his f.oonie of all qua iru:x ds, when M‘-s >mii burst in a very sigma ant but affected laugh. “Whv what is it aiiHises you so, Evi lina. inquired Ge with some surpri-e. “t)!i iiothimr,” said she; “1 was only thin.Jng 1 how quit k M - Baldwin forgets me when his I Ziorse demands his attentions. 1 declare Im ri'dit jealou* of my nr at."

G SO ihese, and a thousand little annoyances which we may not enumerate, urged upon i George the importance of hastening the nuptials ! as speedily as possible. Accordingly, by all the dangers, ills, alarms, and anxieties, which attend the hours of en gagement, h i pressed her to name the happy day within lhe coming month, when their h.iarts and their destinies should b< insuperably uni ted. But “she could not think of getting married for two years yet to come—men, one year at least. At all events, she ■ ould not appoint a day until she consulted her d> ar Morgiana Cor nelia Marsh of Canaan, A ermont. Morgiana was her classmate, and at parting in Pnifa cl pbia, they had inleichau-er 1 thot which ever got married first, should be waited upon by the other.” In vam did George endeavor to pcrsuaJe her that this was a school girl ph* ige, which Mor giana had already forgott n, and which she never w’omd ftdlil. liis arguments onK' pro voked a reproof of his unjust suspicions; of the “American fair.” I inding his arguments here unavailing, he then entreated hi- “charming Evelina” ts wiite immediate] to Miss Marsh, to kn ov when it would be agreeable to he* to fulfil her promise. Weeks rolled awa> bi lore Miss Smit!' < ould be pr< vailed upon even to write lhe- all impor tant letter. She dispab hed it at last, however, and George be. an to entertain h ( pes that a few months would ake the dear Evelina his own In the mean time his Business fell in arrears, Lis < lients complained I aidlv a ainst him. He was incessantly tortured with false minors, of his coldness and inddf renee towards Miss Smith, and of the light and disrespectful re marks which he had in »<i< upon her; but he was much more tortured Bv her unabat 'd thirst for balls and parties of pie i.-irc, lierundiminish ed love of general adumatim, an I the unc.on-, cealed en< omagemet which she gave to the attentions of Dr. Bibb, lhe effect which these things had upon his temper was visible to all his friends He became f’etful, petident, im- ' patient and nelancholy. Dr. Bib < prov d in truth to be a most accomplished intelligent gentleman; and was the man who, above all - thers, George would have select' d tor his friend and companion, had riot the impru ern es ol Evi lina transformed him into a rival. As things were, howev- r, his accomplishments only embittered George’s feelings to arils him, provoked from George, ( 'lie 1 , misplaced and unnatural sarcasms, which the w<ald jla e to the a< count of jealousy, abd in which <»eorge’s conscience forced im to admit that tin world I di him nothing more nor less than sheer jus- ! tice. Ai length Miss Moigiana’s Irttcr arrived. It opened with expressions of deep contrition that the writer “should have got married with otr giving her beloved Ev lina an opportunity of fulfilling her promise; but really, after all, ; she was not to blame; for she did propose to I write to hei beloved Evelina to conn- on to j ( anaan; but Papa and Mr Huntington (her ! hushand) would not hear to it -m eed they both got almost vexed that she should think ot such a thing.” * * “But as soon as my beloved Evelina gets married, she must appoint a time at which we l can meet in Philadelphia with our husbands, i and compare notes.” 1 “I have a thousand secrets to tell you a’.mut married life; but I must reserve them till we im ct. A thousand kisses to your dear George ’ for me; and tell him if I wi re not a married woman I should certainly fall in love with him, j from your description of him.” “Well, I declare,” sai i Evelina, as she fold ed up the letter, “1 could not have b lieved that Morgiana rvould have serv dme so. I w.add have died before I would have treated her in the same way.’’ The great obstacle being now r moved, t l e wedning night was fixed at the shortest time that it could be, to allow the necessan prepara tions; which was just three months ah< ad. Before these three months rolled awax, George bc- arne convinced that he Had staked his caitiffv happiness, upon the forlorn hope of reforming Miss Smith’s erro s alter marriage; but his sense "t honor was too refined, io pet it turn to hariior a thought of hr akiog t h engagement; and, ind ed, so com.de' lx aad he become enamored of h r, that anv penis seemed preferable to giving her up f rever.
