| to see them all ruined, to write to the object
Of my love, and relieve her from the promise
she had given me, that she might thus be at
liberty to marry another. | had scarcely
read the letter through, when in fit of min
gled sorrow~and indignation, seized a pen,
and inclosed to him letter for the unfortunate
being in whom all the joys and hopes of my
life had been conferred, giving him in it the
melancholy and disinterested proof of my
love which he required, by renouncing my
claim to her person.
The violence Of the mental struggle which

remuneration, affected my health more than

had known at Vienna, to prosecute the la
bors ofmy Office and here will describe to
you another scene of Hungarian hospi-
| talty, which, even after what have ALREADY
mentioned, will appear almost incredible to
those who never have experienced it. NV first
days journey was to little town in which
there was but one inn, opposite which was
mansion belonging to noble family. Invent,
| as matter of course, to the inn; but the
landlady told ME that she had received posi-
tive orders not to take in any officer, but send
| him to the house in front of us. Iaccordinc-
ly entered it with my baggage and was atten-
ded by the servants with the greatest CARE
Hearing. however, that there was no one at
home but the lady of the house, Immediate
ly desired to be conveyed to some other quar-
! ter. Upon this young and handsome female
I made her appearances, and without farther
ceremony ordered the servants to unpack nv
things. She told me her parents were absent
! upon short journey, hut would return again
at night. AS they did not however, arrive at
the time she expected, she herself did the
honors of the house with the utmost grace
and modesty. Hearing that it was my inten-
ton to continue my journey the next NOR
ming, she would not allow the servants to
prepare the breakfast for me without being
present herself at the same time. had scarce
ly left her, unable to thank her sufficiently,
when the fever which had been gradually
creeping upon me, seized me suddenly with
such violence as to deprive me of my senses.
At the end of twenty days recovered them
again, and found myselfin bed, but unable to
move. My servants, upon my recognizing
| them, informed me, that when the delirium
produced by the fever seized me on the road,
| they had Immediately conveyed me back to
the town where | had slept the preceding
| night; and both the young lady and her pa
rents had continued to watch by my bedside,
! till, in consequence of the want of proper med
cal attendance, land ofhearing me from time to
| time mention the word Tunfkirchen, they had
caused me to be removed with the greatest
care to the town ofthat name, in which then
| found myself.
| BY degrees | recovered my strength and
during the period ofmy convalescence, recei-
we'd my appointment to the rank of captain,
which, if it had arrived sooner. would have
made me happy, and saved the life of my be-
loved, who by this time found herself in the
| power of the Odious barbarian who had forced
her to become his wife.
After an interval Of several months, and
when l least expected it, received letter
from her younger sister, in which she told me
that fever had attacked her with such vo-
ience that the physicians despaired of her life,
that her husband had gone away and left her
J in this deplorable state; and she entreated me
! by the love which had shown her to the
last, to come and see her before she died,
! promising that the interview between US
should take place in the presence of the ply
! sician and her sister, sorthat all ground for
! SANDER might be avoided. set off instantly,
and upon my arrival was met by the friend
and fosternurse OF my unhappy love, with a
face bathed in tears. To describe in language
the scene which ensued, though graved with
pencil of fire upon my soul, has ever been
beyond my power.
Five months afterwards death set its seal
to the separation which the vanity Of bar
barian had effected. He himself was soon
brought to the grave by his excuses; but, as
| if he could not cease, even in death, to perse-
cute the unhappy family whose ostprecious
jewel he had suied with his brutal breath,
the papers by which he had forceda father to
ruin his child were left by him to be exposed
to the examination of the government-with
such baseness had he preserved them to the
last, for the purpose of domino ering over the
family into which he had married The con-
sequence was, that the wretched father of my
beloved was thrown into prison, and his
whole property was confiscated. His wife
dice of broken heart; and the younger Sis
ter, the generous friend of my youth, took
the resolution of retiring to convent, from
which she afterwards sent me information of
the death of her father, who had been una
BILE to survive the pressure of so many calam-
| tiles.
