Dear is the blush of vernal morn To imn who ploughs the ivate rv deep, And, o’er the darkling surges borne, Marks the storm’s infuriate sweep ; Dear is the limpid stream to him Who journey’s on his toilsome way, And feels each slackened nerve and limb Paint beneath each solar ray : But dearer, far when thy blest power, Love, two souls in bliss lias bound ; Gladly flows each festive hour With rapture new for ever crown’d From the Lady's Miscellany. A TALE FOR THE LA<- DIES. Alexander, and Godfrey were two y oung gentlemen, whole acquaintance had begun with the eavliell period of their lives. They were lons of the principal families of the fame town i they had been accus tomed to play together in their infancy : they had been educat ed at the fame fchool; the fame tutor had attend and (hem in their ti avels; & they had during that inttrefling period of their lives, continued that amity, which was begun when lancy rather than realbn, had infpited it. Godfrey, in deir return from their tour, had left his friend at Lyons ; fixed hy the radiant eyes of fome beauty of the place, and without a desire e_ ver to Tee this country, at the expence of leaving the ohjr 6t of his warmer willies. Alex’ ander was not the only man who had a heart fufceplible of irnprefTions from the fatal charms of this beauty. Among the number who became his rivals, an Erglifh Nobleman, feiting forward on his tour, was flopped by the loft enchant’ ment. The rivals met at her lodgings: the lady was divid. id in her choice ; and neither of them could give up their pretensions. They determined on the only decision. They pursued the fame route to the confines of Flanders. They fought, and Alexander was the more fortunate. The confe’ epicure of a duel i* seldom forefeen hy those who engage in it :—even the bed is terrible. The death of his rival, indead of making his way ealy to his miltress, feperated Alexander from her for ever. The affair was no secret. He could not return to Lyons. It was equal ly unfafe for him to lee his own country, where the friends of his unhappy antagotnts were powerful. He engages in the Rtisfian lervice ; he made seve ral campaigns with glory : he was esteemed, & he was prefer ed. From the time of his fatal dispute with his countryman, he kept up a condant corre- Ipondence with his friend. The interest of Godfrey, of his family, of his friends, of all whom they could influence, was employed to {often the rigour of those who had lost the hope of their house: but every letter contained the lame piece of mournful news, that they were relolute, and cruel, and all applications incdedual. The pet lon who had been most determined and iminove able, in his resentment, was Ttmoleon, an officer of rank, and honorable reputation. VV hat all the entreaties of the world had attempted with the revengeful man in vain, anac- I count from the Ruffian army of the manner in which the English volunteer had signa” lized himfelf, effected. He de’ dared the man who behaved so well in the field could not have killed his nephew unfairly, and, lent to the relations of Alexander, to congratulate them on the account of the youth’s gallant behaviour, and to allure them that he had no ! objection to his coming over whenever he pleased, nor should carry his resentment any farther. Alexander re., ceived the news with transport. He (elicited his difeharge from the lervice : and he obtained it with uncommon marks of honor. He wrote to his friends and to none with lo lincere a joy as Godfrey, that he was on his return. Their friend fliip was renewed with more than its original warmth; they lived together ; their company was the fame; their diversion the fame : and there was not a plea lure the one enjoyed of which the other had riot his (hate. Among their female acquaintance was Sahitia, a woman of spirit and of fome wit, and in conlequence of those qualities, with an lingo verned temper, Hie was capti ous and petulant. Both the friends admired her—but nei ther of them loved her. She could have been happy in the addrefies of either; but it wa* impoflible, while both were on the fame terms with her. She would to-day give one the pre ference, and when she saw it gave no pain where it was in tended, {he would to-morrow pay the fame compliment to the other. She would to the one be for ever excepting a. gainlt, and quarrelling with the words that had drppped from the other, in their lall conver sation : and from criticifing on them without effeH, file fell into the next flep—mifrepre fenting them. Someexpreffi on of indifference which A lexander had repeated to her from Godfrey, on an necaiion of no consequence, she had exaggerated in the repetition till she taxed him with some thing which in reality he had not laid. The lover, for they we:e both Cos in reality, though neither any farther, denied his having Laid what she charged him with, and she infilled up. on the credit of her account having had it from Alexander. When Alexander paid his next viftt, the coquette insulted him forimpofing upon her, and in all the petulance of a peevilh beauty told him “ every body did not think so (lightly of her as he did,” or as he“ would make her believe they did.” And as an instance, told him that file found Godfrey had never (aid any such thing, as he had repeated to her. No thing is more tender than the honour of a (oldier. A lufpici on of his veracity is like a doubt of his courage. He was nettled at the reproof he was concerned that it was Godfrey who had contradicted him. He called upon him immedi ately. lie asked tl he remem bered what he had (aid of a certain lady upon such an oc> cafion ? Godfrey replied, with fome warmth, that he remem bered what he had not laid of her; though he had been charg ed with it. Alexander fired at the expression, defiled he would recollect, and not make his charade fuffer for his for getfulness. The other answer ed it was impolfible he should remember what had never hap pened. Both were piqued, both were fiery in their dispo sitions. They grew more warm as they talked more on the subject, till fome unhappy word passed between them, which it is scarcely poflible to overlook. Godfrey walked out without company :—but without any determined resolu tion. Alexander followed him, as ifhe had underfiood it was expefcted that he should. When they were in a place, dilfant from all interruption, Godfrey (topped and turned about:—Alexander, with tears in his eyes, caught him hy the hand—“ Friend—what are we doing ?” —Godfrey was pale, irrelolute, and yet too angry to be melted by the affetti. onate manner in which his friend had addressed him. What can Ido?’’ —said he drawing as he fpeke. Atcxan r der could not hefitatc on Inch a summons. Ihe conflict was long, neither attempted to hurt the other. The intent on both sides was to disarm —but, by fome malicious fate, Godficv lipped, and fell upon the point of his antagonist's Iwotd !! I Alexander snatched him up in his arms : called heaven and eßtlh to witness, that he would rave died rather than willingly have hurt him. Ihe unhappy man confessed the fatal acct dent of his own seeking even he had compelled him to what had occasioned this mis fortune, begged he would for give him :—and expired in his arms !—Chance had brought up two villagers to the place, as the dying Godfrey made the declaration. They comforted, in their homely way, the dis. traded Alexander, and promis ed to assert, whenever it should he necefiary, what they had heard. It was the opinion of the wretched youth’s friends that it was his business to escape, since the former misfortune would condeal the effect of every favourable incident on this. He obeyed their request —he took no leave of any one —he went without pteparati on, —and has never since been heard of !—The families are both unhappy in the highest degree. Women are seldom aware of the consequences of thole disputes in which they engage men. Thu* I would observe, trifles may be raised into things of importance by the way of treating them ; that no ties are of force againlt an injury in reputation ; and that while women are misrepresent ing things in fecrel, they are playing with the lives of those who are nioft dear to them !
