THE UNHAPPY MARRIAGE

THE UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.
A the age oil sixteen, barrie, was
accounted handsome. Her manners
were rank, polished and easy; her dis
position volatile, and her conversation
lively and sarcastic. l, may easily be
supposed (ss she was much In compa-
Dy) she drew around her crowd OF ad.
nirsrs. Among them was Henry, whose
good sense and moral worth had gained
for him the highest respect. His pene-
trating Judgment Rad discovered in Har.
riet fund OF good qualities, which all
her levi,y and coquerry did not hide.
Henry sought an opportunity OF declar-
ing his sentiments, and with much re.
spect, avowed his love, and solicited her
hand in marriage. Bul the Imagination
OF Harrie, was SO inflated by novel and
play reading, tina, she expected her low.
er could do no less than fall down on his
knees before her, and declare his pas.
sion in the most exalted strains of by.
perbole. She determined al once to re.
ject him, and to rally him for processing
an attachment she did not believe him
to feel. Assuming an arch look, she
repeated some lines Of the we'll known
song,
"Distracted with care,
"For Phillis the fair" &c.
Mortified at the refusal, and still mere
at the dsrespec.ful manner Of The young
lady, Henry begged her pardon, apollo.
gised for the mistaken estimate he had
made Of her character, and withdrew.
Scarcely had her excellent, but dc.
spised suffer left her, ere she was join
ed by one OF different character. This
was William. He came and showed
her tickets for ball thai evening. So
tempting an effer could no, be refused /;
end without consulting her parents, she
Immediately consented to go. IT, the
gay whirl OF the dance, conscious Of her
own beauty and superior grace, she for.
got Henry.
William was nothing more than an
adven,urer, OF specieus manners and in.
sinuating address, fond of company, and
sufficiently fashionable and frivolous IL

been Of short duration, but he was under

POETRY
From the Connecticut Courant.

From the Connecticut Courant.
THE OLD MAN.
Why gaze ye on my hoary hair,
Ye children young and gay
Your locks beneath the blast Of care,
Will bleach as white as they.
ha a mother once, like you,
Who DER my pillow hung,
Kiss'd from my cheek the briny dew,
And taught my faultering tongue.
She when the nightly couch was spread,
Would bow my infant knee,
And place her hand upon my head,
And kneelng, pray for me.
But then there came fearful day.
/ sought my mothers bed,
Till harsh hands bore me thence away,
And told me she was dead.
Ipluck'd fair white rose, and stole
To lay it by her side,
And thought strange sleep enchain'd her soul
For no fond voice replied.
That eve | knelt me down in woe
And said lonely prayer,
Yet still my temples seem'd to glow
ASH that hand was there.
Years fled-and left me chldhood's Joy,
Gay sports and pastimes dear,
rose wild and hayward boy
Who scorn'd the curb of fear.
Fierce passions shook me like reed,
Yet, ere at night slept,
That soft hand made my bosom bleed,
And down fell and wept.
Youth came-the props of virtue reePd!-
But oft at day rs decline,
A marble touch my brow congeal'd-
Blest Mother was it thine -
In foreign lands Travelled wide,
My pulse was bounding high,
Vice spread her meshes at my side,
And pleasure iur'd my eye -
Yet still that hand, so soft and cold,
Mainland its mystic sway,
As when amid my curs of gold
With gentle force it lay.
And with it brea,h'd voice of care
As from the lowly sod,
"My SONNY only one-beware
"Nor sin against thy Con-"
ye think, perchance, that age hath stole
My kindly warmth away,
And dim'd the tablet Of the SOUL;
y Yet when with lordly sway,
This brow the plumed helm display'd
That guides the warrior throng;
Or Beauty's thrilling fingers stray'd
These manly locks among:
That hsllowed touch was ne'r forgoti
And now, though Time hath set
His frosty seal upon my lot,
These temples fee it yet.
And If ere in heaven appear
A mothers holy prayer,
A mothers hand and gentle tear.
That pointed to Saviour dear,
Have led the wanderer there.

devastation, all the palaces OF the grandees having
