THU LONE ONE.
Air—“ Sidin' on a Rail.”
WORDS BY ROBERT T. CONRAD, ESQ.
They told the soldier’s widow’d bride,
That he a glorious death had won ;
“ Oh! would," she shriek’d, “we too had died,
My child for we are lone.
Desolate and lone!
Desolate and lone !
Desolate and lone!
Her heart was with her dead.
Her babe in all her sorrow smiled,
Her early doom'd, her only one,
Death from her heart-strings tore that child,
Aud left her all alone;
Desolate and lone!
Desolate and lone!
Desolate and lone!
She pray’d to join her dead !
The widow clasped her sunken brow,
Her pale lips breath’d a bioken moan,
She sunk —her heart had burst!—and now
She is no more alone!
Never more alone!
Never more alone!
Never more alone!
The sleeps beside her dead !
M ISJC E L E A N Y.
THE ROSE OF LANGOLLEN.
The evening air blew chilling cold ;—Gwin
neth threw her apron over her shoulders, and
went to the woodhouse for faggots. Ellen was
left alone; her eyes fell upon the stump of the
withered rose tree; “That was Edward’s
gift,” said she mournfully. “ Peace is now
restored : he will leturn —he will think I have
neglected it; for alas! it has withered. But
no, Edward must come no more to our cot
tage.”
Hearing the returning step of Gwinneth, she
wiped away the starting tear, for she well
knew that her good mother would chide.
Gwinneth entered trembling : “ Mercy ! my
child, come and listen; surely 1 heard that
Abbey toll.” Ellen turned pale; she listened
with breathless attention ; again the heavy bell
struck with awfi 1 reverberation. *• Oh!” cried
Ellen, clasping her hands togethei, “thenews
has arrived that Edward is killed.”
Vainly now did Gwinneth call upon the
name of her child, who lay seuseless on the
c«ld earth.”
Ellen was the lovely, virtuous child of honest
peasants ; and she was tenderly beloved by
the son of the wealthy Sir Owen Fitzmorris.
In the rustic sports of the lawn before the
Abbey, Edward had often gladly joined ; often
pressed the fair hand of Ellen with rapture to
iiis lips; and breathed in her ear accents of
pure unchangeable love. But parental au
thority interposed ; Edward was ordered to
accept the hand of the rich, the haughty Lady
Hester. His heart proudly revolted ; yet, to
disobey a father, hitherto fond aid tender, was
death. He implored a respite; Sir Owen
granted his petition, and the regiment in which
Edward served was ordered to Egypt; yet
his departing words breathed fervent, constant
affection to his Ellen, and his parting gift was
the rose tree which she now bewailed.
“ For I leaven’s sake, my child,” said Gwin
neth, “be composed ; I will step to the gate,
and see if any one passes from the Abbey.
Dear, now be comforted.” Gwinneth now
stepped to the gate.
“ Bless tne ! as 1 live, here comes a soldier
down the hill!” The word revived Ellen:
site flew to her mother’s side. The soldier
descended the hill; he seemed to walk feebly
and leant on the shoulder of a boy. “ Sure,”
thought Ellen, “ that is Edward’s form;” but
as lie approached nearer conjectures changed ;
hisdiess was shabby and disordered ; liis hair
uncombed ; and a bandage passed across his
eyes, marked the sufferings he had endured in
the dreadful climate—for Edward it was ; and
love soon revealed him to the wand r-struck
Ellen. In a moment each of his hands were
seized by Gwinneth and her child, who forget
ting, in their first joy at the sight of him, the
shocking change of his appearance, led him in
triumph to the cottage ; but inquiry soon sue
eceded; and while Ellen fixed her eyes upon
her withered rose tree, in anguish exclaimed,
Alas! he cannot see it now,” Edward began
liis recital:
“ When I left you, my dear friends, in com
pliance with a father’s command, I embarked
with my regiment for Egypt. Our troops
were successful in all their undertakings; I
alone seemed doomed to feci the pangs of
disappointment and sorrow. An enterprize
in which I was engaged, required despatch and
caution ; when in a moment of general attack,
my dearest friend and earliest companion of
my happy days, fell covered with wounds.
Disobeying the strict orders of our comman
der, not to quit our posts, l bore him in my
arms from the scene ofhorror ; tor this I was
broken of my commission, and discharged in
ignominy.” Ellen wept: —her heart was too
full for utterance the poor old w oman sobbed
aloud.
‘•I returned,” said Edward, “in the first
vessel that sailed, and returned but to see my
father breathe his last. Even he too con
spired against my happiness ; for, would you
believe, Ellen ? he has disinherited me.”
“ How !” exclaimed Ellen, “ is it in nature
to be so wicked t A child he once loved so
dearly.”
O. R. HANLEITER, PRINTER.
“ True,” returned Edward, “ but you now
see me in sickness and sorrow, without a friend
to comfort, or a home to shelter me.”
“Never, never, my dear young master,”
cried Gwinneth, “ while the sticks of this poor
cottage hang together.”
Ellen clasped iiis hand closer between hers,
but spoke not. On a sudden some recollec
tion darted across her mind: let his hand fall
and siglied deeply.
“ What ails my Ellen ?” asked Edward
“ will she not confirm the words of her mo
ther ?”
“Ah me !” said Ellen, “ I am thinking how
i happy the Lady Hester wili be, to have the
| power of restoring you to wealth and comfort,
j She can do all that our wishes dictate.”
‘ But if my Ellen gives me her love,’ replied
j Edward, ‘ I will not seek the favor of Lady
Hester.’
“ And will you stay with us V answered the
enraptured Ellen; “Oh! we shall be happy
enough in that case, and our debt of gratitude
will be in part discharged ; for, to you, Ed
ward we owe all. Your instructive care first
raised my inind from ignorance; and if a
virtuous sentiment animates this breast, from
you it derives its source.”
‘ You are unjust to yourself, Ellen ; instruc
tions bestowed where there is not innate virtue,
is like the vain attempt at cultivating a rocky
soil. But how, my love can you think of
supporting an idle intruder ? Your means
are but scant, though your heart is ample.’
‘We will work the harder, said Gwinneth:
we will knit and spin, and move a thousand
ways of getting a penny and when you get
strong and healthy, you can work.”
‘Mr. Fitzmorris work !’ exclaimed the in
dignant Ellen.
‘ And why not, my child ? Is there any dis
grace in honest industry? Mr. Fitzmorrs is
not proud ; and when with some juice of sim
pies, which you, Ellen, shall gather, we have
bathed his eyes, who knows but, by the favor
of Heaven, his s ght may be restored ? Thus,
Ellen, he will assist our labors, see our cheerful
endeavors to make him forget all past misfor
tunes, and we shall be the happiest jteasants in
Langollen.’
‘Excellent creature,’ cried Edward, ‘my
whole life shall pass in active gratitude. But
1 must away—on the brow of the hill I left a
weary traveller ; 1 will bring him to taste a cup
of your beer, and speed him on his journey.’
Ellen was unwilling that lie should leave her
so soon, though hut for a few moments ; but
Edward continued absent about two hours;
her terror was inexpressible. The night closet!
in and Edward did not return Ellen’s couch
was wetted with her tears, and morning found
her pale and sad. She waited at the door in
anxious expectation ; and with a scream of
wild jow exclaimed, “ lie is coming.”
He was supported by an elderly man, and
Ellen hastened forward to lend her assistance
also, while Gwinneth prepared their homely
breakfast. Edward seemed breathless with
fatigue, and the si ranger accounted for the
delay, by saying that he had wandered up the
country, fearing that his companion had for
gotten him.
‘ Ah, you are cold and wet,’ said Ellen.
‘ No, my love; you see 1 have a great coat.
I found my little parcel at the lodge where I
rested last night.’
‘And that lodge, which was once your
cruel father’s, should be yours,’ said Ellen.
‘But no; he was not cruel, Edward; for he
has given you to us.”
‘Come, come, this is fine talking,” cried
Gwinneth, “while (he poor youth is col I and
hungry, and see the tears how they roll down
his cheek.”
‘Do your eyes pain you, Edward?” in
quired Ellen, ‘ let me wash them with spring
water.’
‘ They do, indeed,’ said lie.
In the gentlest manner possible, Ellen re
moved the bandage ; and his full expressive
hazeljeye met hers,beaming with joy and love.
She receded with a scream of surprise. He
threw off his coat, and discovered his dress
decorated with every military honor.
‘Ellen, forgive this deception—it was my
father’s stratagem—and here he is, a witness
of your disinterested affection. I am not
dishonored, but promoted by my noble com
mander,to military rank.’
‘lt is true, indeed,’ said the old gentleman.
‘ I suspected my son of an unworthy choice,
and dictated this stratng.-m as the means of
confirmation. The Lady Hester disdains a
poor soldier, and now my Edward has to sue
for your acceptance.'
Dumb gratitude seized the trembling Ellen ;
she fell at the feet of Owen, bathed his hand
with tears, and vainly * t-i u v nress the feel
ings of her heart. '1 - meal passed
some time unregarded, t osure was re
stored, and the Lenovo , e o.' the intention
rendered it a repast paLtahle even to the
Baronet.
‘Your rose-tree is withered,’ said Ellen,
‘it was a hot house plani and could ill endure
the slightest breeze of mischance. You,
Ellen, are the blooming Wild Rose of Lan
gollen, whose native sweetness is increased by
the homeliness ofthe culture it received.”
Ellen blushed with joy. gave Iter hand to her
lover, who that daj led her to the Abbey,
where the delighted peasantry came to make
their heartfelt gratulations: and in the happi
ness of his children, Sir Owen found his cure ;
and the aged Gwinneth sank into a peaceful
grave, beloved and revered by her dutiful child;
and to the arms of Sir Owen Fitzmorris, is
now added with proud triumph, the blooming
Wild Ross of Langollen.
THE BEAUTY OF MATURE.
The lowest order of description, perhaps, is
that of external objects—and even in this how
few perhaps succeed ! Here, certainly, judge,
mem and taste, qualities purely mental, are
employed; but who that has attempted the
description of outward objects does not know
from experience that the page often baits
from the mere want of expression ? You see
all before you—you have not, as in the de
scription of internal objects, to seek out invh i
ble connections, forms, and colors, and give
palpability to airy nothings. All you have tef
do is to express in forcible words the effect
produced on the imagination by a group of
objects standing before you, and their mutual
dependence on each other. But though ap
parently easy, how often difficult to accom
plish ! A friend of ours, not deficient in the
power of expression, has often mentioned, es a
proof of the extraordinary beauty of nature —
and the truth is a striking one—that he stop
ped for nearly an hour one night, looking 1 1
the moon shining through a broad rift in the
clouds. The place was of all others the most
favorable to stir the imagination, and mould its
working into words. He stood on the summit
of a huge rock called the Tunnel on the beau
tiful road leading from Killarney to Kenmare
—the lake below was without a wave, and the
univers 1 stillness uninterrupted, save by the
welcome melody of a distant bugle starting
the echoes of the Eagle’s Nest. Before him
the magnificent range of the Reeks was cover
ed vvitli a mass of dark vapor, whose blackness
was, however, beautifully relieved hy the deli
cate chasing of silver around its edges. Sud
denly the thick darkness gave way, and the
full moon hurst out in flood of glory, realising
Homer’s noble description of an Asiatic night:
‘ As when the moon, refulgent lamp of night.
O’er heaven’s clear azure spreads her sacred light—
When not a breath disturbs the deep serene,
And not a cloud o’ercasts the solemn scene—
Around her throne the vivid planets roll,
And stars unnumbered gild the glowing pole ;
O’er the dark trees a yellower verdure shed,
And tip with silver every mountain-head.’
This was a sufficiently inspiring sight, and he
endeavored to frame, with the objects before
him, a description such as would convey a
correct matter-of-fact notion of the scene,
but was obliged to abandon the attempt in de
spair.

HOW A MAM FEELS WHEN AIO6T TO GET
MARRIED.
It is said to be a serious thing for a girl to
leave mamma, and entrust herself to the keep
ing ofthe man of her heart. No doubt it is
so. hut we propose to show that even the ster
ner sex cannot surrender up their singleness
without some misgivings and trepidation.
In the first place, then, the victim of matri
many feels that he must surrender up the com
panions witli whom he has so long held close
communion—-his evenings, instead of being
spent at the club or the engine house, must be
devoted to a charming young creature, whose
guiltless heart must find very different enter
tainment from that to which he has been ac
customed. But this is not all. He knows
that after he has become bound in the silken
cord of matrimony, he is no longer a welcome
[visitant in those circles, where, while free,
j wreathing smiles and glowing eyes strove to
wreath a net for his feet.
He knows that while a ‘bachelor is wel
come wherever he goes,’ a married man is re
igarded as one dead—and crossed off the
hooks, no longer * available’ to the fair. In
addition to all these unhappy circumstances,
he has become the head of a family. Then
‘Throng the busy shapes into his mind,’
of silks and calicoes, doctors’ hills, and duns of
| debt that he never reaped the benefit of. Like
| the horse in the mill, he has task to perforin
I for others. lie is no longer free to embrace
| poverty or wealth. No wonder that the
young bachelor looks sad, when the time of
his enthralment approaches. No wonder
that, with an angel at his side, he looks woe
ful.
The following is an extract from an article
on the Dignity of the Law as a profession, in
the Christian Examiner for May :
“ The lawyer is a teacher whenever he rises
j at the bar, either to ‘ convince the court,’ ‘ per
suade the jury,’ or charm the listening crowd
j that are hanging upon his accents. Many a
I sermon preached of a week day, in the court
houses, goes further, and remains longer w ith
its hearers, than those which come on Sunday
from the pulpit. The lawyer teaches the wit
ness that comes before him ; the twelve sworn
men that watch every movement & catch every
word, and the client that trusts in him, learns
: from him as from one who should • vindicate
; rights and redress wrongs.’ By the wink of
! his eye or the covert turn of a question, a vain
juryman ora wavering witness may be led to
act that which will fearfully effect iiis eternal
well lteing. As the bar is more or less high
minded, strict and pure, or shuffling and foul.
1 n no way, at no spot, can a body of men net
ting professionally, exert more moral influence
than through legal proceedings in course of
justice. Let the bar becorrupt, and the bench
which is influenced by it, comes directly from
it, will be corrupt too, and let this take* place,
and that corruption of the people would allow
it, will be increased by it ten fold. Agricultu.
rists, mechanics, and even merchants, as such
have no 'ike power and therefore is the Lawyer
pre eminently a teacher, and so clothed witna
dignity.”
A HOPEFUL HEIR.
“Every tiling is arranged lor your wedding
with Susan Tompkins,” said a" fether to his
only son the other day, “I hope you’ll behave
yourself like an an Thomas.” The individr*
al addressed was a yoking, man .seated in a,
chair, despatching a huge piece of bread cov.
ered with thick molasses; his only ariseer
was a sigh, accompanied by a flood of tears.
The parent started, and in a angry voice, de
manded, “what objections can you have? Su
sail is handsome and wealthy, and married
von must be, some time or another. Your
mother and I were married, and it is my com
mand that you prepare for your nuptials.”—
“Yes,” finally sobbed Thomas, “that’s a dif
ferent case: you married mother; but, I—l qi
to be sent out to marry astiange gal ?”
