rEzE REPOSITORY.
FROM THE HALIFAX NOvASCOTIAN
TEE YOUNG SOLDIER.

A story lately reached my ears, connected with
young soldier, belonging to one of the regiments
upon this station, which has something in it of ro
mantle character, and at all events is sngularly af
fecting 1t gives to humble life new charm, and
shows, from the realities of the world, that the a
fections may spring up as strongly, burn as purely,
and be ready to make for their object as romantic
sacrifices under the cottage roof, as under the am
pie and gorgeous halls of fashion, and of pride.
The young soldier to whom allude was a native
of Wales; the son of respectable parents, and
brought up with the comfortable notions which be-
long to the class of independent yeomen. Through
some unfortunate circumstances, bis father was
duced froma state of comparative affluence, to ex
treme poverty-one misfortune followed another in
rapid succession-his rent accumulated upon his
head, and at length being totally unable to meet
his obligations, and without prospect for the future,
the landlord became clamorous, and he was conse-
quently sold off, and elected from his farm. The
old man himself had to become laborer and his
children were under the necessity of casting their
bread upon the waves of the world. Henry, the
second son, naturally of ambitious temper, could
not bear the degradation of the family and hastily
determined to join recruiting party, who were
then beating up strength in the village but the re-
solution had scarcely been carried into effect, be-
fore he would have given worlds again to be free.
Poor Henry had one object which bound him heart
and soul, to his native soil.
In the neighborhood of his fathers cottage there
lived farmer with large family of daughters,
with whom Henry had been long intimate and to-
wards one of whom there had grown up in his
heart strong affection. Mary returned it-and,
in the simpleness and guielessness of their young
hearts, they had betrothed themselves one to ano-
ther long before prudence offered any prospect Of
their marriage pledges being accomplished Itmat-
tered not-they had pledged their VOWS. Judge of
her situation, then, when she witnessed Henry's

that he had enlisted! He came to bid her farewell,
but he could only say it with the bursting of his
heart, and the eloquence Of tears She wept upon
his neck, and beseeched him not to leave her-but
his tie was not to be broken, to break 1t IN truth
was not now within his power--Mary becoming
sensible of this formed the heroic purpose ofleav
ing her fathers roof and joining her fortune to her
lover's-the next morning she hired herself as
servant of the recruiting officer, andthe same night
these two young mountaineers babe adieu to the
scenes and the friends of their native valley
Shortly afterwards the regiment was ordered to
this station, and fortunately Henry and Mary were
passengers in the same vessel; and thus enjoyed
frequent opportunities of whispering to each other
those loving thoughts which were beating at others
hearts. Upon landing here their separation was
almost immediate, for the officer took quarters at
the extreme end of Dutch Town, while Henry
stationed at the North Barrack. Unable to meet as
they were wont, the lovers pinned in ABSENCE
Henry had soon become Disguised with the duties
and confinement of soldiers life and one night,
about three months after his arrival here stole from
his quarters without leave, and made directly for

hours glded by, and Henry, insensble to time, at
length woke from his dream, and although when
he had left he had not formed any deliberate plan
for desertion, was afraid to return. He confessed
at length to Mary the uneasiness which preying
on his mind and she, with that promptitude and
daring which distinguish the female character in
all strong emergencies, offered to furnish him with
one of her gowns, and to leave the town with him
Immediately for the country. She had saved about
three pounds, and with this to pay their travelling
charges, and with the buoyancy of young hearts,
they set out on their perilous adventure. They had
not proceeded far the road round the basin, be-
fore they heard noise, behind them, among which
Henry recognized the voice of one Of his comrades
Mary and he Immediately left the road, and cover
ed among the bushes; and now they began to feel
the desolateness of their situation, and the danger
to which they were exposed, in strange country,
and among strangers. For two days they kept beat
ing about the woods in the neighborhood of the
basin, but at length hunger forced them from their
retreat. They out just at the Nine Mile House,
and scarcely had they reached the main road before
they were recognized, and seized by guard of sol
ders who were just returned in hopelessness from
the search. They were seized and reconducted to
town-Henry consigned to the cell as deser-
ter, and Mary sent to jail for having offered him
assistance.

Historical Fact. 1t has long been rumou,
that General Braddock was killed by one Of
his own men. This is placed beyond doubt
by the statement of one who could not be
mistaken. Braddock, during the battle in
which he lost his life, ordered the provincial
troops to form column. They rather choose
the Indian mode of lighting, from behind the
shelter of a tree. Braddock, in his yexatiop.
rode up to a man by the name of Fawcet and
cut him down. Thomas Fawcet, brother
Of the killed, learning the manner of his
death, watched an opportunity for revenge,
and shot Braddoclk through the body, of which
wound he died. Thomas Fawcet is now, or
was lately, residing near Laurel Hill, and IS
about 20 years OF age. Net0 Herald
The communication between Lake Erie
and the Atlantic Ocean has at length been
completed. The entrance of the first boat
from the Lake into the Canal constitutes
proud epoch, not alone in the history of the
State, although that would be a legitimate
subject of ardent pleasure and congratulation,
but in the annals of the United States. Il is
the triumph of art over nature of science
over time and space; of industry over indo-
lence of energy over weakness; it is a vic.
torous solution, by practical courage and per-
severence, Of theoretical doubts and difficult.
Ties, on the threshold of which the boldcst
spirit stood in momentary perp!exity. 1t is,
moreover, an illustration Of the genius and
perseverance of our fellow-c citizens, which will
find its record in the history OF human enter
prise, in whatever language, or on whatever
shore it may be written.

We have received statement, signed by
number Of the most respectable inhabitants Of
Rutland, exhonorating the teamster from any
blame for the accident by which a child was
killed in that town, as mentioned in our last.
1T is said that the accident was occasioned by
the horse in the chaise turning too suddenly
into the road behind the wagon, thereby
bringing the chaise in contact with the bind
wagon wheel, by which the woman and child
were thrown out. We are glad to make this
correction.
