FROM THE NEW YORK MIRROR.
THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ON FAC

Mr.. Townsend having acquired, by perseverng
industry, fortune sufficiently ample, retired from
mercantile pursuits, and settled with his family
Consisting of himself wife, daughter, and son, in
the village of Clifton, which about the distance
Of two miles from the principal city of the state.
AS is usual in such places wealth entitled the pos
SCISSOR to respect from the inhabitants, and the COM
pany of the family of Mr.. Townsend courted
by families of the like distinction with his
Fond of society," he gladly accepted the offers of in
tmacy, as it would relieve him from the tedious
dullness of a retired life. His son, who at this time
had reached the bloom of youth, readily gained him
self acquaintance, and became the sole companion
of Charles Grant whose father inherited paternal
mansion, situated but few yards from the dwell
ling of Mr. Townsend. Youth, gay and cheerful,
delights in the company Of those who are its equals
in years, and who, by natural affinity, will parti-
cipate in the same pleasures, and Edmund and
Charles, Of somewhat similar dispositions, employ
ed the greater part of their time in pursuing the
rabbit to its borough-in bringing to the ground
the pheasant, it from its covert-or in chas-
ing the wild duck, as it fitted across the lake.
Charles, being possessed of fortune equal to
that of his friend, was introduced by Edmund to
his sister Maria. AS first appearances generally
impress our minds with feelings of esteem or dis
like, Charles, being prepossessing in his manners,
by diffidence blended with due proportion of
confidence won the affections of Maria charmed
no less with the beauties of her person than the
graces of her conversation, he RENTED the pur-
suits Of the field, and devoted his attention to his
4,o ~ e
ness centered in that of their daughter perceived
no more in the intimacy of the young couple than
the mere fondnesss of friendship but the keener
eyes of some discerning persons in the village be-
held the solitary walks the downcast eyes, the blush
ing cheek, and other concomtants of the tender

passion, with no small degree of concern and the
knowing bodies, in prophetic voices, with all the
significant mods, impressive gestures and serious
countenances, that usually precede, attend, and
follow solemn prediction, pronounced /" a match.'
Indeed, their prophecies were true, for Charles and
Maria felt the glowing flame within their bosoms,
esteem had grown into attachment, and attachment
had ripened into love.
The parents of Maria, at length advised of the
fact, expressed their dsapprobation of her choice,
and reasoned with her on the subject her female
companions, her most intimate and afectonate
friends, used every effort to dssuade her from her
settled purpose but every attempt useless
she loved, and firmly believed that Charles enter
tanned the same degreee of affection for her. "My
happiness" she repeated, "wth him would be
complete" This last argument entirely overcame
the prejudices and opposition of her parents, and
their consent was given
The day previous to the intended nuptials
Charles received note. The handwriting of the
superscripton unknown to him. He trembling
ly broke the seal, and read the following:
Dear Charleston the receipt of this, you will
instantly repair to the shaded walks have news
OF a peculiar nature 10 communicate EDMUND.
He hastily arrayed himself, and departed to seek
his friend he found him pacing the ground, appa-
rently in deep thought, and Intercepted him as to
the peculiar news, on account of which he had
been so urgent in his short letter.
'Charles,' said Edmund, my parents have ap-
proved of you, and you have pledged your VOWS of
constancy and love to Maria she is an only daugh-
ter, and consequently only sister, love her, and
know your disposition she is tender plant and
must be cherished--fondly cherished
Can you doubt the kindness, the love l bear
her." replied Charles, somewhat offended at his
sentiments.
you know full WE'LL answered Edmund shat
you apt to beled away by suspicious, and there
fore caution you to beware of giving credence to
any reports until you shall have traced them to their
sources, and discovered their truth or fasity l am
about to set sail for fore gn shores leave my Sis
to you as her protector-her husband be affec-
tionate to her-but, should you prove villain, be-
ware of brothers vengeance! =
They had reached the end of the walk, and Ed
mund, abruptly quitting the side of the astonished
Charles, left him motionless crimson hue over
spread his features, and his eyes ashed with ndig
nation; but soon regaining his composure he ex-
claimed 1T is her brother, and therefore pardon
him and, retracing his steps, pondered as he pro-
ceeded the strange and (to him) inexplicable
conduct of Edmund.
It nav perhaps, be necessary to account for this

who had insinuated himself into his favor and gain
ed SO complete ascendency over him as to render
him compliant to his desires, and who, by his subtle
reasonings, had gained him over to assent to his OPT
Mons various matters. Edmund beheld, with
feelings of contempt the objection of Charles, and
warned his sister of the danger in being united to
of SO disposition but love, blind to the
faults imputed to the object of its affection, rejects
repeated cautions, and firmly wthstands all opposi-
ton to its desired end. Unable to convince her of
the truth of his assertion, Edmund left his sister,
and penned the short request for a meeting, the re
suit of which is already known.
The next day Maria accompanied Charles to the
altar, and as the priest pronounced blessing, she
turned her mild blue eyes, beamng with tender
ness, upon her husband, and the expression of Joy
in those glistening orbo seemed to say, 6 We shall
be happyn The nuptials were celebrated with
due regard to their stations in life; the welded
pair received the congratulations of their friends,
and the tear would invountarily fall from the eyes
of some as they earnestly wished that JOY might
follow them through life-an anticipation they
yer expected to be realized.
For two years they lived together in the enjoy
ment of mutual affection one lovely infant blessed
their union, and the mothers tenderness was di-
rected to its care. About this time Charles would
frequently absent himself from home, and his pc
RODS of absence were attributed to business but
the time that elapsed between his departure and
turn spent by Maria in doubtful anxiety. Re
turning home one night at late hour, he beheld
her seated on a sofa her infant was reposing, in
soft and peaceful quietude, upon her bosom, and
she, wearied with continued watching, had fallen
into gentle sleep avolume she had been reading
