That thou ahouldst droop and die At early morn! While yet thy graceful dew A joyous fragrance drew From every flower that grew Life’s path along! The green earth mourns for thee. Thou dearest one; A plaintive tone is heard, And flower and leaflet stirred. And every fav’rite bird Sings sad and lone. Pale is thy brow, and dimmed Thy sparkling eye! Affection's sweetest token Is lost fore’er and broken ! The last kind word is spoken— Why didst thou die ? Breathe low, thou gentle wind. Breathe sott and low ; The beaatiful lies dead ! The joy of life is fled ! And my lone heart is wed Hencefoith to woe! A DAMSEL’S CONFESSION. A youth to me a wooing came— For pity sweet implored me, And hoped I ne’er could slight or blame The lad that mod adored me. I liked lam much, but h.d my plan, To see how he'd refute me ; So, frowning, cried. “ Don’t teaze, young man ; You don’t exactly suit me.” He seem’d confounded, vexed, and stared. Then vow’d he’d ne’er deceive me. Says 1, “ Young man, you can be spared ; If you please, Sir, you must leave, me.” “ To leave you, love, I never can, I swear by ail your beauty.” Now, pray,” says I, “ don’t teaze young man ; You don’t exactly suit me.” He started, sigh’d, hung down his head (Which proved I’d fairly caught him); “ Oh! haste my love, to church!” he cried, (You see to what I’d brought him.) “ Dear Sir,” said I, “ if that’s my fate, To wed’s a woman’s duty ; Let’s fly, or we shall be too late— You now exactly suit me!” [English Paper. €'jit Itunj (frllrr. THE LOVERS OF VIRE. The. sun was shining its fair as the sun could shine, on a lovely May morn ing—bright, yet gentle; warm, but fresh (midway between the watering pot of April and the warming-pan of June) —upon the beautiful valley of Vire. Stretched at the foot of a long steep hill, crowned by a pretty airy looking town, whose buildings, in some part gathered on the very pinnacle, in others running far down the slope, as if coquetting with the rich valleys that woo them from below, lay this love liest of valleys that Nature’s profuse hand ever gifted with beauty ; the soft clear stream of the Vire winding sweet ly along between the green sloping hills, and rich woods, and fields, and chateaux, and hamlets, and the birds singing their song of love, as its calm waters, silvered by the sunshine, roll beautifully by them. Could you but look upon it, you would not find it dif ficult to imagine, how the soul even of an obsureartizanin a remote age, warm ed into poetry and music, in the bo som of that valley, and by the side of that stream. it was there, in the beautiful V ale of Vire, some twenty years ago, that Francois Lormier went out to take his last May walk with Mariette Duval, ere the relentless conscription called him from his happy home, his sweet valleys, and his early love. It was a sad walk, as may vyell be imagined ; for though the* morning was bright, and Nature, to her shame be it spoken, had put on her gayest smiles, as if to mock their sorrow, yet the sunshine of the scene could not find its way to their hearts, and all seemed darkened and clouded around them. They talked a great deal, and they talked a long time; but far be it from me to betray their private regrets,at this their tender leave taking. 1 would not for all the world especially as 1 know not one word about it—except, indeed, that Francois vowed that the image or Mariette should remain with hint for ever — should inspire him in battle, and cheer him in the bivouac; and that Mariette protested she would never marry any body except Francois Lormier, even if rich old Monsieur Latoussefort, the great Foulan, were to lay himself and his fortune at her feet; in short, that when his “seven long years were out,” Francois should find her still a spinster, and very much at his service. “ But, if I lose a limb ?” said Fran cois. “ Believe me, I shall not love you less, replied Mariette. They parted—and, first to follow the lady. Mariette wept a great deal, but soon afterwards she appeared calm again, went about her usual w'ork, sang her song, danced at the village fete, talked with the talkers, laughed with the gay, and won the hearts of all the youths in the place, by her unadorned beauty, and her native grace. But, still, t rancois was not forgotten ; and when several came, at different times, to ask her in marriage, the good dame, her mother, referred them directly to Mariette, who had always her answer ready, and with a kind word, and a gen- i tie look, sent them away refused, but j not offended. At length, good old I Monsiur Latoussefort j (resented him- j self, with all his money hags, declaring : that his only wish was to enrich his gen tle Mariette ; but she was steady, and so touching did she talk to him about her poor Francois, that the old man went away with the tears in his eyes. Six months afterwards, he died, when, to the wonder of the whole place, he left his large fortune to Mariette Duval! Meanwhile, Francois, from a light handsome conscript, became a brave steady soldier. Attached to the great ‘ Northern army, he underwent all the hardships of the campaigns in Poland ! and Russia, but, still, he never lost his cheerfulness, for the thought of Mariette kept his heart warm, and even a Rus sian winter could not freeze him. All through that miserable retreat, he made the best of everything. As long as he had a good tender piece of saddle, he did not want a dinner; and when he met with a comfortable dead horse to < i*, p into, he found hoard and lodging combined. Hiscourage and his powers o endurance called upon him, from the first, the eyes of r ne, whose best qual ity was the impartiality of his recom pense. h ranqois was rewarded as well as he could be rewarded ; but at length, in one of those unfortunate battles, by which Napoleon strove in vain to re trieve his fortunes, the young soldier, in the midst of his gallant daring, was desperately wounded in the arm. Pass we over the rest. Mutilated, sick, weary, and ragged. Francois ap proached his native valley, and, doubt ful of his reception—for misery makes sad misanthropes—he sought the cot tage of Madame Duval. The cottage was gone; and on inquiring for Madame Duval, he was directed to a fine farm house, by the banks of the stream. He thought there must be some mistake ; but yet he dragged his weary limbs thither,and knocked timidly against the door. “ Entrez,” cried the good-humoured voice of the old dame. Francois en tered, and, unbidden, tottered to a chair. Madame Duval gazed on him for a moment, and then rushing to the stairs, called loudly, “ Come down, Mariette ! come down, here is Franqois returned!” Like lightning, Mariette darted down the stairs, saw the soldier’s old great coat, and flew towards it— stopped—gazed on his haggard face, and empty sleeve ; and gasping, fixed her eyes upon his countenance. ’Twas fora moment she gazed on him thus in silence; but there was no forgetful ness, nor coldness, nor pride about her heart —there was sorrow’, and joy, and love, and memory in her very glance. “ Oh, Francois ! Francois !” sried she, at length, casting her arms round his neck, “how thou hast suffered!” As she did so the old great coat fell back, and on his breast appeared the golden cross of the Legion of Honour. “N’im porte !” cried she, as she saw it, “Voila ta recompense.” He pressed her fond ly to his bosom. “My recompense is here !” cried he, “My recompense is here!” IT IS I. The prettiest girl in the whole vil lage, or indeed for miles around, was Nanette La Croix. She had a hundred lovers, all of whom expressed them selves ready to die for her; though she, cruel thing, would not give more than a smile in return. Her heart was free, she said, and hoped it ever would be ; she had no notion of making her self a slave for life, by marrying. So spoke Nanette, just as hundreds have spoken before her ; and she really believed for awhile all she said. No foot was lighter at the guinguette than hers; no jest was merrier than that which fell from Nanette; no maiden curled lip more saucily when her name was linked with that of any of the beaus. And yet, all this while, she was in love wFh Pierre Latour, the hand somest, bravest, and blithest of the vil lage lads. She found it out too, but not until he was levied for the con scription ; when the certainty of his long absence, and the probability that he might never return, revealed to her the secret. Poor Pierre loved her as his own life ; and now, on the eve of leaving her, uncertain whether she returned his love, he was nearly beside himself with despair. lie rallied courage, however, and resolved to tell his tale, for diffi dence hitherto had sealed his tongue, though his eyes had long since spoken his adoration in more eloquent lan guage. He found Nanette in tears. It wus an unguarded moment for her, and Pierre had no difficulty in winning an acknowledgment that she returned his affection. “And will you be mine when i re turn ? Promise me this,” he said, “and 1 will strive to become great, and will win, if bravery can do it, the cross of the Legion of Honour.” Nanette promised—how could she help it ? —and the young soldier de parted. The seeret was to be kept be tween them, so the villagers were none the wiser ; and, as Nanette seemed as gay as ever, no one suspected that her heart was far away in Russia, whither the Imperial army had gone. But this secresy proved most unfor- for the young men, ignorant of her engagement, were attentive as ever; indeed, more so, for she grew prettier daily. Pierre, even before the army reached the frontiers; heard from those who had left the village later than him self, that this or that gallant was always with Nanette, and the gossips said it would be a match. How could he help being a little jealous ? And when, later by six months, and just before the Russian territory was invaded, he met an old acquaintance from the village, and heard that the son of the rich no tary was dying for her, is it strange that he began to fear he would yet lose his beautiful Nanette? lie had heard so much of woman’s inconstancy, es pecially when a young and wealthy suit or was the rival, that he trembled for her fidelity. All know the horrors of that cam paign in Russia. Os the half million who followed Napoleon into the hostile territory not a tithe came back alive. Os these, however, Latour was one.— Yet he almost wished he had perished in the fatal snows, for he had lost an arm, and that, too, without gaining the cross of the Legion of Honour. Not that he did not deserve it; but, in that j awful retreat, there was no time for the emperor to think of bestowing favours. Slowly, and almost in rags, like thou sands of ohters, Latonr begged his way back to his native village. It was a bright morning in autumn, more than a year after Latour’s depart ure, when one of the village gossips stopped a minute at the window of the Cottage where Nanette and her mother dwelt. “Who do you think has come back?” she said. Latour himself. He arrived yesterday afternoon.” At the announcement of her lover’s return, Nanette’s heart leaped with joy; but when she heard he had been back so long without coming to see her, her spirits sank, for she had continued to love the absent soldier, in spite of the - notary’s son and her hundred other ad mirers. “ lie is corne back in a sorry plight though,” continued the gossip, “ lame, a beggar, and with but one arm. He is sick at heart too, and so ashamed that he will not show himself; lie savs he ’ / only wishes to die ; he is not fit to live with the young and happy.” Poor Nanette ! Iler heart was full of pity for her lover. She turned aside to conceal her tears. Yet still she won dered why he had not come to see her, and she felt almost angry again when she thought of it. “ He tells me news too, which I nev er knew before, you are so sly about it, SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. Nanette. He says you are to marry the notary’s son. Ido believe, from the way he spoke, he has never got over his old love for you ; when he spoke of the notary’s son he sighed, looking at his tattered garments, his stump of an arm, and his leg lame with travel.” Nanette heard no more. She un derstood all now. She left her mother to entertain the gossip, and hurrying up stairs, attired herself in her holiday garments ; and then, selecting tL choicest fruits from their garden, and filling her apron with flowers, she hur ried to the cottage of Pierre’s family. Never had she looked more charm ing. Her white head-dress, falling low on her shoulders, relieved her dark tresses, and added greater effect to her brilliant black eyes. A handkerchief, worn around her neck, modestly con cealed her swelling bust. Her arms, rounded and mellow as antique marble, were bare almost to the shoulder; in a word, always beautiful, her dress and her high spirts now made her perfectly bewitching “ Who’s there ?” said a voice, as she knocked. She knew that the family w’ere all abroad at this hour at their work, and that the voice must be Pierre’s, else she would scarcely have recognized it, so discontented and so hopeless was the tone once so happy and bright. But she knew a magic, she believed to call back all its old sweetness. “It is I!” she answered, disguising her voice, and as she thought of the joy ful surprise she had in store for Pierre, she archly smiled. She heard a muttered growl inside, and someone coming to the door. “Oh! the great, jealous bear,” she said to her self. “how he hates to be disturbed— but we shall see.” When the door opened, and the laugh ing girl stood before him, Pierre stag gered back. Surprise contended with gloom in his features, but the smile of Nanette gradually re-assured him. At last he stammered out, “You here’ Na nette ! What does it mean ?” The happy girl read in every look of that haggard face how truly Pierre loved her, and she could no longer con tain herself, but speaking amid smiles and tears, while she put dow’n her bas ket of fruit and emptied her flowers on the table before him, said, “It means, dear Pierre, that as you won’t come to see me, I have come to see you ; and as I heard that as you were ill and tired, I have brought all these fruits and flowers for your acceptance ; yes, and myself too, if you will have me !” And she weeping clasped him in her arms. “What! and do you love poor Pierre still; and you won’t have the notary’s son ?” he murmured in amazement. “No ! I will have no one but you. Oh ! how could you think I could desert you ? Don’t you believe, dear Pierre, that we women can be constant, as well as you men ?” “ But, Nanette,” said Pierre, looking at his stump, “1 am maimed now and —and I have come back without my cross.” “ No, you have not,” said she, touch ing the mangled shoulder kindly, “Here is your cross of the Legion of Honour; and a nobler one than a piece of mere ribbon. Ido believe,” she said, burst ing into tears, “ that I shall love you all the better for having lost your arm.” Happiness soon restored the bloom to Pierre’s cheeks, and on the morning of his marriage, he looked the hand somest man in the whole gay company. Nor was his bride the only one who thought that his honourable scar added to the interest which he inspired, for all the village girls envied Nanette her husband. 11 tailings at llaniimn.

Excrable. —The following execrable joke has been attributed to Jem Horn, but we are ready to stand voucher that he is not the man to be guilty of such enormity.

That all genuine packages or boxes of Joseph Gil lott’s Pens have a far simile of his signature on the reverse side. None other are genuine.

Joseph Gillott would further advise the pnblic that, in all cases where his Numbers and the phraseology of ills Labels are adopted by the parties above alluded to, the Pens are not made by him, although asserted to be. An experience of thirty years lias enabled Mr. Gillott to bring his Steel Pens to the highest state of perfec tion, and the liberal patronage which lie has long enjoyed at ihe hands of theAmeriran public,will incite him to con tinued exertion to maintain tiie favor which lie has ac quired.
