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. NO. 6. 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 ?” ’TIS TIME TO PAY THE PRINTER.
