EDWIN AND ELLEN.
A rALE-FoUNpEp ON A FACT

TALE-FoUNDED ON A FACT.
Marriage is a sure matter Of more worth
Than to be subject for an attolneyshp,
For what is wedlock forced but a hell,
An age of discord and continual strife
Whereas the contrary bringeth forth bliss,
And is pattern Of celestial peace.
Shakespeare.
The moon had risen in cloudless maj
esty above the eastern hills, and her sill
yer rays Illuminated the horizon, while
Phebus had descended over the west
ern hemisphere and reclined in the lap
Of Morpheus--the misty twilight had
dispersed, and the cheering rays Of
the twinlIing meteors spread refulgent
harmony to the enraptured eye-no
noise was heard to arrest the melanchol-
ly and pensive, calm reflector, or dis
turb the tranquilizing scenes so delight
fully spread around-all was still, save
the murmuring zephyrs which gently
famed the shady grove, whose waving
plumes reverberated half-stifed sighs to
the passing breeze. This was the hour
for love; the delightful scenes of nature;
the sequestercd promenade, the fruitful
fancy OF virtuous, unsuspecting youth.
Moved by the natural dictates Of lively
feeling, and enrapturcd by the novelty
OF the enchanting scene, two youthful,
but ardent lovers, entered on a lonely
walk; to ramblc through the magic
grove, to breathe their gentle tale of
love, and think of bliss to comc-hours
like moments flew apace-they had ram
bled far, unconscious where, and YET
solemn silence rcigned. They could
not talk Of love-stil walked they on,
absorbed in thought, until the distant
village bell had told the hour of twelve;
being oppressed and melancholy, they
needed it not--nor could they desist
from their nocturnal rambles, although
both felt delicacy in breaking the
heavenly stiffness and embarr assmcnt
that prevuded each individual bosom.
There is language in the eye, IN the
look, in the gesture, in the sigh, which
reciprocal feelings can understand, al
though the organs of speech are irade-
quase to their expressions. They loved !;
each felt as though unworthy of the OBJ
ject Of their highest admiration. They
we're virtuous; they never harboured or
cherished thought repugnant to the
strictest rules Of decorum. They were
passionately fond Of each other; but the
insurmountable obstacles that obtruded
themselves to prevent their immediate
union-the consummation of their hich-
est anticipati0ns--were, indeed, OF n
nature calculated to chill and deaden
every hope of earthly wealth and pros.
perity--for they we'll knew that TO marry
against the will of their parents would
cost them the loss Of their rightful in
heritance, which was not inco erabIe
although ne was an only son, and she
an only daughter, their parents would
as soon have seen them annihilated as
joined in the afIectionate bonds of mat
rimony. Political discord had sown the
seeds Of fatal hatred that sometimes,
for a season, had threatened the destruc-
ton Of both parties, and seemed q ca

CONFESSION.

We could not occupy our columns in bet
fer manner, than by placing in them the beau
tifh little poem, entitled the Confession -
Who they were written by, we cannot say; but
ws should be proud. if We could always grace
our poetical department with such mclodious
and pious strains. We recommend them 10
the attention Of the reader.
Nay, holy father come not near.
The secrets of my heart TO hear;
For not TO mortal ear tell
The griefs that in this bosom swell.
Ihe thoughts, the wishes, wild and win.
That wander through this burning brain:
Ereh fellow-beng! why should

Or yield unto the contrite one
Imf peace which comes from Heav,, .io..
no! LET me spend my vesper hour
In commune with higher Power:
The world shut out, I'll Iowlv bend
To my Almighty Father Friend,
70 HIM for mercy I'll appeal,
To him my inmost soul reveal.
He knows the heart that he has made
BY each alternate passion sway'd.
And can forgive n; for he knows
Ife wautss its weakness, and IN wo..

And sleep, his sheltcring wing beneath.

THE POWER OF REVENGE.

One of the most striking instances Of
the powerful influence of passion is re-
corded Of young Spanish officer, who
being sent upon military service to
South America, was stationed at Potosi,
the governor of which place made do
cree, that no Indian should be employed
in carrying the baggage Of Europeans.
Literary cadet and Rhode-Island statesman. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1827-1829, 1827-04-28

/ This officer, whose name was Aquirra,
broke the order, and employed an Indian
to carry his baggage. OF this he was in
stantly accused, and condemned to suffer
the punishment enacted for the offence,
which was to be publickly whipped on an
ass. Great intercession was made for
him, but without effect. After many So
llcnations, however, "A respite for fort
night was obtained from the Governor,
but just as this reached the prison, the
criminal was stript, and mounted, and ex-
hibited for~punishment. On hearing Of
the respite he said, "Nay, the shame is
suffered; worse cannot be done; therefore,
cxecutioner, discharge your duty.s and
return the tyrant his reprieyc." The
sentence accordingly took its course, and
the young man endured it with the great
est calmness; but he never after could be
brought to associate with gentlemen.---
He was constantly wandering about by
himself in state of gloomy melancholy,
and stunning the society and converse
Of his fellow creatures.
Soon after the Governor was removed,
and another person was sent in his stead,
but Aquirra was still seen TO hover about
the palace. The Governors friends ap-
prehensive Of a design upon his life, ad-
vised him to withdraw TO some other
place. lie did so, and went TO Los
Reyes, three hundred and twenty leagues
from thence; but in week S time Aquir-
ra was there, having followed him on
foot. The Governor then removed as
secretly as he could to Quito, which is
four hundred leagues from Los Reyes;
there also came Aquirra in a short space
of time, though he travelled as before,
without shoes or stockings. Finding
himself so closely pursued, the Governor
took another flight, as far as Cusco,
which is five hundred leagues from Qui-
to, but there he was also followed by
Aquirra. Being wearied out by so ma
ny journeys, the Governor said, "I will
fly the villain no longer, but keep a
guard about me, and defy him." which
he did; but the gates being one day open,
and all the servants engaged in play,
Aquirra entered, found his enemy alone,
stabbed him to the heart, and then dis
patched himself with the same dagger.

A CURIOUS oAsE.---In Brussels paper
1t is stated that man reported himself
to the police as having stolen a set of
golden earrings from the lady Of his
love-" and demanded committal to
prison. After summoning the lady, her
testimony gave the lie to his representa-
tion, and aledged that it was only plan
of her lover to prevent the performance
OF his promise to marry her---preferring
confinement in the loathsome walls of a
prison, to being united to lovely wo-
man.

DIFFICULTY OF PLEASINGALL.

Those who have most to give, are
most likely to complain Of mans ingrat-
itude. For this reason, king observed,
=" that bis power of dispensing favours
was the most difficult task of royalty
since he never gave place away but he
made ninety nine discontented and un-
grateful subjects" Nearly to the same
purpose was lord B. answer, on being
asked why he discontinued annual balls.
He said chs rooms were not large
enough to contain more than two hun
dred persons, and he feared making all
above that number, who were his friends,
his enemies; for he had observed, that
those ladies who were invited, forgot it
before the next year; but those who
were not invited, never forgot it during
their lives"
The connubial history of Henry VIII.
may be stated in few words. He di-
vorced his first wife upon the convenient
plea of conscience, in order to marry
one younger and handsomer. He mur-
dered the second through safety, and
growing passion for another. He mar
rled third, four and twenty hours after
the execution Of the second. She, han
'py woman! died in few months. The
fourth ne divorced because she was not
SO beautiful as her picture---" great
Flanders mare," as he delicately termed
her. The fifth he behcaded, on very
questionable evidence of infidelity, and
the sixth and last he would have burnt at
Smithfeld as a hereto.
