A SKETCH FROM Scenes AND THouGHr

by WASHINGTON IRWIN. gR
endeavored to learn the story of the'
ill-fated Ellen, and the interesting mourn
or whom had beheld lowering over her,
ashes. and l found that they were in.
deed the pangs OF mothers heart which
had caused the grief l had Witnessed
She had attended her husband abroad,
through many scene of trial and hard
ship; she had dressed his wounds upon
the day of battle, and she had watched
over her soldiers lowly pallet, with firm
and unremitting tenderness; but his
wounds were healed, and he arose from
his sick bed, astonshed at her magnan-
unity, and grateful for her Affection
They returned together to their native
country, that they might seek reward
for their past sufferings in the bosom Of
the country that gave them birth, and in
the happy retirement which they best
loved Several children blessed their
union, but some were nipped in the bid
OF infancy, and the rest prematurely de-
stroyed ere yet they were fully unfolded
in blossoms. One beloved daughter
their beautiful Ellen-alone remained to-
them. All the tender shoots were with
cred save this one; and her they cher
ished as their sole remaining pride, their
only surviving prop. That child grew
up oil that her doating parents wished;
and lovely in mind as in person, she con-
stituted their sum of happiness on earth.
But, alas! the sweetest and most deli
cate flowers are often nipped the SOON
est by the chill wind, or by the blighting
mildew.-Her fragile form but too easi-
ly sunk under the pressure Of disease;
and like tender reed, bent beneath its
own unsupported weight. Her eyes,
indeed, sparslcd with unusual lustre, but
it was 20 more like the briliancc of
health than the false glare of wander
ing meteor resembles the clear and
steady ohuIgerce Of the meridian sun:
and though bright bloom cooured her
check, it was not the rosy tint of vigour
but the harbinger of approaching ruin.
The terrified parents beheld with hor-
ror, the dl eadful symptoms In an ago
ny of mind, which none besides can full
ly appreciate, they tried all that nature
dictated, or art devised to stop the pro-
gress Of the fatal malady. But it was
late. limadc rapid and gigantic strides;
and hope Itself was soon obliged to
droop in anguish. The lovely victim
saw her fate before her, but her wings
ere plumcd for Heaven, and she wish
cd not to hover longer on earth. While
her body dropped and languished, her
mlnd became strengthened and fortified;
aud the undecaying spirit seemed to
shine forth more visIbly and more beau
tiiuliy, when the mortal shroud which
enveloped 1t was gradually falling At
length life gradually waned-and waned
until ITS lamp shot up one bright, but
quivering gleam, and then was darken-
ed forever! She was dead--but the
rose still lived OF her cheek, and smile
still played upon the half closed lips
whose last accents had breathed the fond
name of mother! And those who look
ed upon her could scarcely believe but
that she sweetly slept.
