a VILLAGE TALE.

Situated in delightful hollow, surrounded en- the
east and west side by stupendous and lofty hills, lies
a beautiful village, few miles from this place
The traveller approaching this romantic place,
IS delighted with the surrounding objects that strike
his sight AS far as the eye can reach, he beholds
charming country, interspersed with hills and val
lies, with rising villages springing up their
mts, or located at their base, and with purlng
streams meandering through dark forests which
stretch beyond, emptying into the small lakes which
sparkle in little pillows at distance The tower
ing steeples of the churches in every direction, pre-
sent their white spires above the tall trees which
these miniature inland cities, which are destined
perhaps, at some future period of the world, to be
the abode of philosophers and statesmen, heroes
and sages, and emporiums of wealth and commerce
from the benefits of our artificial Mediterranean sea-
which winds its course through the country. Con-
tentment seems to pervade the bosoms of the indus
trous and enterprisng inhabitants around, and IN
disturbed tranquility generally reigns. Through
this romantic hollow, runs the great turnpike from
Albany to Buffalo the beautiful village alluded to-
lines its sides through the valley, presenting the
taste OF arCnteClIc from TIE TuQe log mouse 10 the
splendid mansion.
1t was in the summer of eighteen hundred and,
that stranger came to reside in this village for
short time his appearance was such that carried
with it the character of one who had seen the
world; his conversation denoted mind stored with
intelligence; accomplished in his manners, his car
riage was easy; polite and affable to every
whom chance threw in his way, his pleasing man.

THE NUPTIAL FUNERAL.
A HISTORICAL FRAGMENT.


On steep mountain, surrounded by extensive
woods, is situated ancient castle, long the resi-
dence of the Counts of Dachau. Here lived, with
an aged and venerable mother, the last descendant
of that illustrous family.
The Counts of WaHarthausen were their near re-
ations and the vicinity Of their mansion faciltat
ing mutual intercourse, paved the way for still
more strict alliance. The young Countess, their
sister, promised in marriage to the young Count
Dachau. Brought up together from their childhood,
their infantine friendship had long changed into ar
dent love.
The most magnificent preparations were made
to celebrate their nuptials, during the festival of
Christmas.
The preparations being complete, the Count of
Dachau, in his nuptial dress, accompanied by his
attendants descended into the valley at the foot of
the mountain, to meet his future consort !; but the
slow progress of his train i'll suting the youthful
ardor of the Count, he set spurs to his spirited
courser, and soon SO far advanced into the
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-04-30

tering addresses, pleased and fascinated her. She
the pride of her parents, and an only daughter,
on whom they lavished every expense which
boarding school education required. She was tru-
y the lovelest of the fair, and one on whom nature
had bestowed with art every thing that is calcuat-
ed to adorn female. An only brother, whose
pride wound up with that of his sisters welfare,
at this period was absent; and she had no protec-
tor orkeen observer of theiwofn sleeps clothing,
who, with an eagle eye, was watching his unsus-
pecting sister. Her frequent interviews with the
stranger at balls and parties, and his attention be-
slowed on her, led to repeated calls at her fathers
house, where he was seemingly received by her pa
rents in friendly manner. Being of lively turn,
his company was particularly agreeable to her, and
In short time acquaintance ripened into more
tender feeling. Aware, however, of the difficulty
of gaining her parents consent in marriage, the
stranger had palmed himself upon them and the
public gentleman of fortune and responsibility,
whose connexions lived in New England, and was
daily in expectation of receiving remittances from
them. BY all the arts which consummate villain
could invent, he ingratated himself as much as pos
sibe into the good graces of the parents, until at
length he determined on making application for
uniting with their daughter. He had previously,
however, obtained from the fair Eliza her consent,
and Aattered himself that his prize was secure
His application, however, refused, and the vii
lain's plans frustrated Stung with resentment, he
now left the place, and took his residence in ano-
Their county, where secretly correspondence was
kept up between her and himself and through
the agency of some friend, whom his consummate
art had duped, an arrangement made for her to
elope from her parents and be united According
ly he made his appearance, and took her from her
dwelling at midnight to neighboring village,
where they were united in the holy bands of we'd
lock. The next morning her parents finding that
she was missing, immediately took measures to pur-
sue, and, II possible, prevent what they too truly
imagined would be the result. They were found
and she was entreated to return home but she to-
tally refused unless her husband was allowed to ac-
company her. This was objected to, and with tears
they bid her adieu. She accompanied her husband
to neighboring county, placing implicit reliance
on his honor. But alas she was vet to learn the
true character of the she had thus rashly con-
nected herself with.
Her brother, who had been absent, returned
about this time, and was made acquainted with the
circumstances OF her elopement Rage and indg-
nation fired bis bosom; and he trembled for the
fate of his sister. He denounced vengeance against
the villain who had by intrigue seduced her from
the bosom of her parents and rArretted that she

candestine marriage with person whom no one
knew. Inquiries were Immediately set on foot, to
ascertain his true character when was soon found
that he was married man, with a wife living in
the southern states. Measures were taken to ap-
prehend him, but he eluded his pursuers and fed
to Canada, leaving her whom he had so solelnny
pledged to protect and support, to mourn the
ducing wiles of the villain man. Abandoned by her
husband, she returned to that home, which, but a
few weeks before, at the dead hours of night she
had forsaken, with high expectations Of enjoying
happiness with the man of her choice.
The whole village sensbly felt for this interesting
fair one, who had, by one inconsderate act, over
stepped the bounds Of reason, and planted thorn
i'll her breast, which the lapse of time could not re
move. By the hand of wretch made miserable.
her tears unable to wash away the blot which
in the eyes of the world sued her character, other
wise in every other respect bright and untarnish
ed.
This dropping flower of the village, on her pros
poets in life being blghted By wretch, who had
thus deceived her, decayed gradually, until she
sunk into the grave, victim of Reconsideration and
rashness in forsaking her parents, whose aching
hearts and mournful looks evinced the anguish of
their feelings, beholding their hopes and expec-
tations crushed by the conduct of her they had SO
fondly loved, nourished and cherished. Her des-
picable deceiver has as yet escaped the merited
punishment of so infamous an act But the Justice
of heaven must sooner or later overtake such
murderer, worse than the midnight assassin or the
bold and daring desperate. ALMANZOR.
