THE DISSEMBLER

Every word, and every action Of the
Dissembler is an artifice by which he
labours to conceal some intention. A
man Of his sort approaches his enemy
with professions Of friendship; he fiat
ters those against whom he is secretly
plotting mischief; and he condoles with
them in the day of their calamity: to
one who has DETAINED, he proffers his
his forgiveness; he receives contumely
with patience; or he sooths with blan-
dishments those who resent the injuries
they have sustained from his villainy.
The Dissembler, from mere habit +,
will evade any direct application tnat
may be made to him: Call upon me to-
morrow says he, to one who seeks to
converse with him on business that
admits of no delay. To elude inquiry,
he will pretend that he has just returned
from journey--that he. came home
last evening -or, that he is too i'll to at
tend to business. He never acknowI-
edges that he has actually commenced
an undertaking; but processes to be still
deliberating upon the affair, He tells
tHoSO WIN WOuiu uOttOW uOucy VI ,
or who demanded the sum he has sub
scribed to contribution, that he has
not taken a sixpence of late-but when
trade is dull he boasts-feigns not to
have attended 70 what he has heard he
pretepds not to have observed what pass
ed before his eyes, and takes care to for
get his promises. He is fertile in evas-
ions; now, he purposs to take an affair
into consideration; now, he knows nothing
Of the business; he is amazed at what IS
told him; or il accords exactly with his
opinion. He makes h imself remark
able by frequent use Of certain phrases,
such as" am fain to doubt it," I"
don't take your meaning;" am verify
surprised;" or il it suits his purpose, he
will say" | am not the man you take
me for; no such thing has been said to
me before, what you say is incredible
Prithee find some one else to whom you
may tell this tale; truly, know not
whether to think you or him the impos-
ter"
But beware thou Of one who employs
these artfully woven phrase s, which com
monty serve to cloak the worst designs
A man in whose manners there is no sim
plicity, and whose every word seems to
have been siudied,is more to be shunned
than viper.

MISCELLANY,
THE PROMISE.

AT the age of eighteen Charles Yer.
non fancied himself violently in love;-
the object Of his passion was a lovely
girl Of sixteen; she was the child of ma
ture, and never dreamed of Disgusting
her feelings. She loved Charles with
all the romantic fondness of that early
age, and scrupled not to let him know.
that in hor opinion, he was the first of
created beings. Charles used to meet
his lovely Fanny in her walks, and at
the social parties where the youth of
both sexes meet together; when present
enjoy ment was the only object consid-
cred; and form and etiquette were un-
thought of Fanny was the gayest of
the gay:-She laughed, danced, and
sung, in all the happy thoughtlessness of
youth and innocence. But alas! the
dearest joys must have an end. Charles
was obliged to leave the pleasant village
the place Of his birth, the residence Of
Fanny-his father destined him for the
scenes Of active life, and he prepared
with heavy heart to leave the scene
Of his early happiness. To part with
Fanny was terrible, he feared that in
his absence some other might try to win
her love; and he determined to bind
himself and her, by an engagement
which neither, Of course, would ever
wish to break. Fanny consented with.
out hesitation. She asked no consent
of any person, she lived with an aun
who idolized her, and from whom she
feared no opposition; but a secret en-
gogement was so romantic consent woult
havo destroyed half its charm. Charlie,
never thought Of making his father the
confidant Of his intention, if be had th4
old gentleman would probably have
laughed at his romantic folly, as old peo

wisest step he could tako was to secur,

IHE WESTERN QUARTERLY REVIEW
Tins Is the title Of a periodical paper published
al Cincinnati. Ohio, and edited with ability by
the Rev. Timothy Flint, author of Fran
els Berrian, &c. We have had The pleas
IRE Of reading the two first numbers, and
from the second make the following extract,
which we th",k will be found interest
ins by all who may read it. II is a viviu
dercripton Of the burial ofa young Apalachy
Warrior, whose form now reposes on the banks
ofone Of the Bayon. or Creeks, which enters
into the Mississippi river. The description, is a
plain matter Of fact, written by an eye witness,
apJ displays N strong colours, the feelings
eyinced BY the native lords Of The forest, by be
ings, who have been prescribed by the members
OF civilized life, and denounced rs savages, ami
as beings dead to all the finer feelings Of our spe-
cies, and humanity.

which we hope will meet with the united pat
ronage OF the votarics of literature. and Of all

Between the village and the forest,
on the bayou Robert road, is a low
healthy marsh, covered with FLASHES OF
water, redeemed with the inAermixture
of the red clay. Tall dead trees, that
have been girdled, rear their naked and
decaying arms. Others have been blast
ed with tightening. otumps and putrl.
flying logs are spread over the marsh. -
A decaying Jail, that used to be filled
with the vilest malefactors, stands on the
very verge Of it. just beyond the jai
is gallows, visible among the dead
trees. The whole scene has an appro
pirate shading of long moss. Little
ragged boys are fishing for craw-fish in
the cutters. In short, the belt between
the town and the forest is perfect
Cocytus. My fondness for that walk
had become standing jest with my
friends. But beyond it there were noble
trees, having their grand columns
wreathed with ivy, which in winter
changes its foliage to rich purple
The road is kind Of causeway, +,
straight vista between these grand trees
level, Of colour pleasant to the eye
generally dry, and yet seldom dusty
Hundreds of times have paced my
mile in this forest, in a solemn and no
unpleasant communion with the past
and with the remembrance Of friends
who began existence with me, and ar,
now no more, communion, which
would not exchange for all the songs
ever inspired by the wine cup.

had offered for declaring his intentions,
and he had not availed himself Of them,
she had 10 idea that his happiness was
concerned IN her decision, and that in
accepting the addresses Of his rival, she
had consulted her own happiness and
concluded by urging that "a love which
could waver IN its choice, was not such
as could make her happy" Poor
Charles knew too well why he he had
not been explicit; but would not add to
Julia's triumph by informing her, that
an engagement with another, from which
he was just released, had been the cause
of his apparant wavering. He felt thai
his hopes had been too sanguine, and
that Julia's love for him had not been OF
that devoted character which only could
satisfy his feelings. His thoughts re-
verted to Fanny, and he sighed deeply,
when he reflected on her confding trust,
and artless tenderness-he feared she
was unhappy; but his pride would not
permit him to seek a renewal of their
Intercourse, besides, =" she was not ex-
actly the woman to make him happy"
Years passed away; Charles remained
unmarried In the mean time the love-
ly and ingenious Fanny, had given her
heart and hand to another. AT the age
Of twenty-seven Charles Vernon having
completely conquered his disappointed
love, for the charming Julia, discovered
that his opinions and tastes, had UNDER
gone a complete alteration. He became
acquainted with female, who, though
she was neither so beautiful as Fanny,
or so accomplished as Julia, possessed
every requisite to make him happy
She rrsembled neither in any great de-
gree, but in her manners, appearance,
and conversation, there was an undes-
cribabe charm, which bound him her
willing captive Her intelligence and
gooe sense, and above all, her deep and
sincere attachment to him, completed
her conquest. There was nothing to
oppose their union-no dangerous rivals
were encouraged, to torment him; this
was 6 rational love" for a rational be-
ing. Charles confessed it to its object
was accepted; and ever after had
reason TO rejoice, that noble; though
simple and artiess girl, had possessed
the magnanimlty to release him from a
promise, which his notions Of honour
would not have suffered him to break,
although his feelings had forced him to
regret it. The generous conduct of
Fanny, met its reward in the conscious
ness of having acted right, and when
time had soothed the disappointed feel
ings of an early love, reflection and ex-
perience taught her that, though what is
called first love- may be tho most ar
cent, some trial is necessary to prove it
to be lasting. 1t is not always possible
to control our feelings, but our conduct
may always be under our own direction,
and where inclination and duty are not
at variance, the performance of the lat
ter, will soothe the pain Of any sacri-
fee we may make Of the former.

The dogs were baying in the village
The chanticleer at times made his shriil
note heard above its distant and confus-
ed hum. The cannon Of a departing

Of smoke behind it. A more glorious

remembered painfully the friend, who
used to share my walks, ,and felt, that for
the future, | must expect to take them
unshared, and alone. A world Of wa
ters, wood and mountains separated us,
and the train Of thought, inspired by
these remembrances, prepared me to be
affected by spectacle, which was near

of the wood, a cart, preceded by an In
dian bent with age. Behind him, and
Immediately before the cart,w young
woman, whose shrill and feminine cry
Of grief came softened by the distance
upon my ear. Behind the cart was an
aged squaw, and two or three children,
all moving slowly on, in the customary
Indian file As the procession met me,
the cry OF the young woman was an af-
fiicting scream. An Interchangeable touch
of melancholy thought sat on the brow
Of the aged savage but he was silent.
The mother behind was frantic in the
expression of her grief. The children
looked intently upon the ground. In
the cart was an unpainted, rough, cy-
press coffin. ] asked the aged warrior,
whose body it was, they carried? He
answered in broken French, that it was
his sons, and at the same time he ex-
planned my question, as the cart stopped
for moment, to the mourners in their
native language. The widow, the aged
woman, the children raised their cry of
grief, and tears involuntarily sprung in
my own eyes. Here, thought |, is all
that remains Of a man, who grew up,
and died in the desert. He fell in the
prime of his days, and all these evidently
depended upon him for subsistence and
joy There can be no mistake in this
thing. This expression Of agony is no

fall; and hearts are as deeply desolated
in these wild woods, as when the tenant
