Literary cadet, and Saturday evening bulletin. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1826-1827, 1826-09-02

In their early progress, one engrossing
anxiety, the safety OF his darling charge,
pers AIDED his soul. The companionship OF
the precious pledge OF early love and for
mer happiness gave an elasticity to his
step, an energy to his conduct, that would
have been unknown to him as lonely tu-
gtives but embarked upon the broad bo-
som Of the ocean, in proportion as her Sc
curity became certain, home recollcctions
and regrets arose the wide waters, and
the clear sky, spoke of no foes to the hap
piness and innocence of his child, but they
left him leisure to re-create the past, and
to anticipate the future. He turned his
thoughts to the land Of his fathers, the
cradle of his hopes, and the grave OF
his happiness, and now first felt himself
an emigrant. II en- coute d'avantage

The possession Of property in the island
had determined him TO make choice of st.
Domingo. When its craggy rocks first
struck his view, he gazed on it as vast
dungeon, and those rough outworks with
which nature had fenced it appeared the
barriers Of hope. Not so to the young
and buoyant heart Of Adele, who wearied
with her voyage, longed to tread again on
terra firma certain, in all the confidence
ofyoung existence and unchecked expec-
tation, of meeting happiness every where.
Her joyous and brilliant nature was never
long under eclipse, even when her sensi-
bllity was most touched with the apparent
melancholy Of her father
slabished on the island, Adele made
her fathers home the theatre OF her eXer-
tons; her taste, elegance, and ingenuity,
supplied the place of expensive luxures;
while her lively spirits and happy temper
pervaded the whole sphere Of domestic
management with harmony and lustre
which were sunshine and music to the
soul. D'AzinyA ielt that the indulgence
Of sorrow was ingratitude to Heaven; and
though the destiny Of France threw q sha-
dow on his happiness,it grew, under the in
fluencc of the expanding charms and vir-
tues of his child, more pure than he had
ever dared to hope for in this world.

gentle declivity ofa mountain, was at once
sheltered and embelIished by all that ma
ture so abundantly yields in this rich and
fertile island. The golden orange and the
fragrant citron gratified the senses with
their sweetness, odonr, and beauty---while
the oak, the elm, the pine, and numerous
other trees, rose majestically around the
remote precincts of their cottage. Its ac-
cess was terrestrial paradise; D'Aznval
had employed his time in forming it to his
own and Adele's taste fountains, supplied
from springs of the purest water, every
where A" shook their lOosened silver in the
sun" and gave delic Gus GOODNESS to the
scene, in the midst OF which the beautiful
Adele, like another Eve, would often spread
sweet repast of fruits All that could
preserve the memory of France was stud
led, yet mixed with much of the wild and
picturesque beauty of luXuriant nature
This combination was no where more re-
markable tnan in Adele herself, whose
dark and abundant tresses were usually in
tertwined with fresh flowers, in almost end
less variety, as taste, or the whim of the
moment, might suggest.
1t was a rich sunset, and Adele was
standing by her father with tame bird
perched upon her finger, TO the pecking
beak ofwhch he held part of pineapple
on which he had been regaling, when their
attention was attracted by the approach of
an Indian, who led towards them a Euro
pean youth. Young and beautiful, he
came I" like Morning led by Night" D.
Azlnval rose to meet them, and Adele
stepped back, sheltering as she did so her
little 1uttering favourite in her bosom.
The Indian, who spoke a little broken
French, addressed D'AzinvaI with a We
hemence Of voice and gesture that consid-
erably increased the difficulty attendant on
understanding him, and he turned to the
young stranger for explanation The
youth addressed few words to his guide,
which had the effect of procuring silence;
and then, with pure accent, and much
rroprlety OF language, he stated that he
was the only survivor Of an unfortunate
refugee family, whom chance had thrown
en- the Indians hospitality, in whose hut
malignant fever had carried off his last re-
naming relatives, an uncle and brother---
and that he was himself only just recover
ed from an attack of the same disorder;
that the Indian was poor, and could i'll
bear the burthen with which his humanity
had encountered him, and having heard by
chance of the vicinity Of Monsieur D'Az-
