LEDYARD on WOMEN.
THRO' many lands and climes a stranger.
With toilsome Heps I've held my way,
A lonely, unproteaed (hanger,
To all the Granger's ills a prey. &
While fteeriog thus my course precarious,
My fortune still has been to find #
Men's hearts and dispositions various.
But gentle Woman ever kind.
, Alive to every tender feeling,
To deeds of mercy always prone ;,
The wounds of pain and forrew healing,
With foft companion's fyeeteft tone.
No proud delay, no dark fufpicicn,
hints the free bounty of their heart ;
They turn not from the fad petition,
But cheerful aid at once impart.
Form'd in benevolence of nature,
Obliging, modest, gay and mild,
Woman's the fame endearing creature.
In country towo, and savage wild.
When parch'd with thirst with hunger wafted,
Her friendly hand refreshments gave ;
How fwaet the coarsest food has tasted !
What cordial in the simple wave !
Her courteous looks, her words caressing,
Shed comfort on the fainting foul ;
Woman's the ftraoger's general bleffiog,
From sultry India to the Pole.
ANOTHER.
WOMAN, charming, lovely creature,
Gentle, modest, graceful thing—
Moji refined work of nature ;
Fairer than the flowers of Spring !
'PLEASANT HISTORY.
PEROUROU:
Or, The BELLOWS MENDER.
WRITTEN BY HIMSELF.
[Continued.]
IT was with fomg concern I
heard all these pieces of infor
mation. During the four years
I had lived in the capital, my
constant endeavors to acquire a
fortune that might enable me to
reclaim the sole object of my la
bors, had employed all my
thoughts. But my stay at Ly
ons, and the unfufpe&ed evi
dence of all who mentioned Au
rora, awakened those sentiments
of affection which were still la
tent in my heart. The image
of a woman whom I had deceiv
ed, and yet adored, was perpetu
ally presenting itfelf to my im
agination : a new ardor of affec
tion inspired me, and I no long
er' considered my wealth as valu
able, unless it was to be divided
with another. And my infant!
was 1 never to clasp him in my
arms ? never to reciprocate the
tender caresses of the being that
owed its existence to me, or ex
perience that paternal fondnefs
to which I was yet a stranger,
but of which my heart felt all
the charms. I could no longer
endure those cutting reflections,
and determined instantly to fee
Aurora and my boy. One of
the engravers, by my orders, got
together the creditors of Auro
ra's father, and paid off all their
demands. I likewjfe enjoined
him to repurchase some particu
lar articles which had been fold,
and which from long usage were
much valued by Aurora ; and
this commission he found it not
difficult to execute.
The banker, who had given
me so fatisfadory an account of
my wife, was a man in very gen
eral estimation. Him I deter
mined to make my confidant,
and to let him into all my views
and designs. I knew that his
name of itfelf would be fufficient
to surmount every obftdcle that
might lie in my way. He had
an elegant country feat on the
romantic Shores of the Rhine. I
requested an interview with him
in some retired place, and having
obtained his promise of inviola
ble lecrecy, ——" Until! this mo
ment, (said I) you have Seen in
me nothing more than a mer
chant who is indebted for his 4
well earned Fortune but to his
talents and probity alone. My
fate has obliged me to assume a
fort of disguise, to conceal my
felf from those whose esteem I f
must value. I have deceived a I
' worthy woman ; you are ac-;
quainted with one half of myl
hiftory, and it is necessary the re-|
mainder Should be disclosed. You|
behold in me that unfortunate [
bellows mender, who was feleCt-I
ed by a set of young rakes as the;
instrument of their refe'ntment."
At this unexpected disclo
sure, my friend seemed ftruckl
with surprise, and it was easy for
I me to read in his countenance the
1 agitation of his mind. " I aml
indebted to nature, (continued J)
for some qualities which reflec-;
tion and education have expand-j
ed. The generosity of my friends;
and accident together have done;
the rest. You have Spoken to I
me of Aurora, with approbation ; I
I am on the point of leaving Lv-I
ons, but I assure you that I will:
not quit it without her. My
good friend, you enjoy the ef
;teem and confidence,of the pub
lic, become mediator, and I will
;ftand indebted to you for the
I happinefs of the rest of my life."
When my friend had recover
led from his surprise, he assured
j me he had no doubt but the re
conciliation I so ardently desired
;might readily be brought about.
!I am honored, added he, with the
friendship of Abbess of the con
vent in which your wife resides.
; It is the proper hour, and we
are near the city, let us pufli our
horses, and we Shall Soon be able
to fettle thole difficulties with
Aurora, in perlon, which oppose,
your re-union.—l agreed to alll
he said, and was now as eager
for an interview as I had once
been to get away from her; and ;
I felt an eager desire to fee .and
embrace my Son.
We were announced at the
gate of the convent, the banker
under his real name, and myfelf
as one of the firft merchants in
Paris. We were admitted.
What a feene was presented to
my eyes ! Aurora, in all the ef
fulgence of beauty, was seated
by the venerable Abbess. A
child, or rather a Cupid, was re
posing in her lap, and Seemed so
wholly to engage the attention
of his mother, that She hardly
returned our Salutation in the
usual terms of civility. The in
stant She cast her eyes upon me,
I preceived, by her Suddenly Start
ing up, that my presence recall
ed certain disagreeable ideas to
her mind ; but, being introduc-
ed by a man whom She knew,
and presented to her as the head
of one of the firft houses of trade
in Paris, all Suspicion vanished
as the evening came on, and Au
rora was far from recognizing
her husband in theopulent stran
ger. My friend began the con
versation with some vague re
marks relative to my speedy de
parture, dwelt on the extent of
my commercial connexions and
aSked the Abbess if She had not
some orders for me to execute in
, the capital. While he was Speak
ing the infant awoke, and the
fight of the stranger, instead of
occasioning surprise or alarm,
made him smile. After atten
tively looking on us both, as if
I undetermined which of the two
I to commence acquaintance with,
she came towards me. O, reader
I only imagine to yourfelf my
Ithoughts, my feelings, when I
I received the tender embraces and
I the delicious kisses of my boy.
lAn irrefiftable' transport of joy
impelled me to clasp him in my
arms, and kneel with him at the
I feet of my wife. Pale and trem-\
bling, I exclaimed,- —" Aurora,|
Aurora, your child, your fon|
; asks forgiveness for his father !"|
