Whether curiosity or humanity had most inhu-

him in troublesome confidence, or stamp on his

STORY OF LOUISA, THE FAIR MANIAC.

y, | /
History affords many very striking instances Of
the effect fmenal agitation, in disturbing the pow
ers of the understanding,
A German lady Of great beauty and accomplish
ments having married Hessian officer, was order
ed to America, and not being able to acquire any
tidings Of him in her own country, came over to
England Here she could only learn the destiny of
her husband from those ships which had either
transported troops to the Continent, bring
ing back the wounded. Day after day she wander
ed on the beach at Portsmouth, and hour after hour
she wearied her eyes, believed with tears, ia the
vain expectation of seeing him. She waa observed
at the same spot ere it was light and watched each
motion of the waves until the setting sun. Then
her haunted Imagination presented him nauglcd
with wounds, and the smallest gust of wind seemed
to threaten her with an eternal separation Did
ship enter into port, her eager steps led her to the
spot and many an inquiry was repaid with an inso-
lent rebuff.
After eight months spent in this anxious manner,
ship arrived, bringing her the melancholy pleasure,
&C that some Hessian officers who were wounded,
were on their passage" Her impotence ncreas-
ed daily vessel at length arrived, reported to
have Hessian troops on board. She kept at some
distance, for fear Of giving great shock to her
husbands feelings, should he be among them. He
was landed with Others: she tainted, and he was
conveyed she knew not where. Having recovered,
and going to the different nns she at length found
her husband. The master Of the inn informed her
she was very bad" and she begged that her being
in England might be gradually broken to him
! When she entered the room, he burst into a food
