Literary cadet and Rhode-Island statesman. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1827-1829, 1828-06-25

prise was reciprocal, that their souls had leaped
together as if by the magic touch of some sor-
cerer's wand-tbat she ever betrayed her feel
ngs so conspicuousy, his whale soul darled
from his eyes-'Twas then Mary lifted her
eyes and met his glance again.-'Twas done |!
Twin souls! ye are now one. Not sultry
suns nor wintery blasts shall e'er efiace the
image Of Mary Allen from the mind of julian.
Not time, absence, or occupation shall rcnd
| the form of Julian from the heart Of Mary.
How long tho entranccd youth would have
stood gazing upon Mary in ex,atic silence is
uncertain, had not one Of his rough shipmates
who sat near and comprehended as much of
the scene as scenes shiher does Of tragedy
muttered to him: Julian, come, sit down -
what do you stare so at that lady for-don't
you see you've made her blush already ~
This intimation, although rather unpleasant to
| the object Of IT, restored him TO hecton-hc
sat down; but Immediately the congregation
were dismissed, to the grea. disa pointment of
Julian, who regretted having come at so late
an hour. He wandered from the meeting
house in different mood from that in which
he entered-"with an arrow deep infxed," but
alas! he felt that she only could heal the wound
who had herself been hit by the archer"--
In vain did Julian search with bursting eye
halls for the idol Of his soul. He surveyed
each individual in every group, but he saw
Mary no more. He saw her alone on memo.
rvs page.
But although the next day Mary beheld the
ship containing her Julian beating off the har-
bour, and although the next morning no trace
OF her was left in the horizon, oft shall she cast
her eyes in The direction where she once was
oft shall she pace the sounding shore, and
image Julian coming Ger some high wave to
leap into her arms, and many a tear shall fall
on the beach as the idea rushcs on her mind
that she only saw him TO lose him forever-oft
at midnight shall she start from her feverish
dream, and behold him standing by her bed
side with pallid check and sunken eye-tlycn
shall the fond prayer ascend from the altar OF
pure heart, and find access TO the throne Of
the Almighty, as Mary implores his prote
for the absent youth.
Let US now return to the evening when Ju-
Ian gazed with insupportoble anguish upon tho
island of Wcahoo, as il fell lower and low er in
the horizon, while the bounding vessel bore
him farther and farther from the home OF his
Mary. When the young Englslman Of whom
| nka ,1,,,, E,II ,i. I 1
mingled with the sailors on the forecasic, he
met with upbradngs from his American ship
mates on account of his want Of skill in sea-
manship. Julian listened for considerable
time to the reproaches which were cast upon
the interesting boy, until he Observed that his
temper began to rise. We'll knowing what
would be the result, he stood ready to save
him from abuse, should any be offered. Words (
rose high, and at length several men rushed .
towards him TO make him feel their cowardly
vengeance. Julian threw himself between the
parties, and declared that the first who struck
a blow made him his enemy. Although neither
of them felt disposed to attack Julian, yet one
of them aimed blow at tie boy Jplian
caught it and hurled the assault sr against one
of his fellows both fell, end with redoubled
rage gained their feet and darted towards Ju-
Ian, who stood prepared to receive them; but
ere the combat had gone farther, the second
mato, who had perceived the fray al the be-
ginning, had reached the scene Of action and
aimed blow with a club at the head of Ju.
ian-:he young Englishman sprang forward
md endeavored TO ward the blow, but rot
catching it in time, received il on his own
nead. Tho appearance Of the mate dscon-
,erted the two men who were about to attack
Julian, for as the back of the latter was TO-
wards the quarterback, Of course the f,rrrur
irs deserted his approach. Juiian's indigna-
ron was kndled when he bcheld the PROSTATE !
nd unoilendng boy; and, springing towards
he mate, he wrenchcd the club from his hands
nd cast it overheard. The mate, who little !
expected TO come of so well when ho SOW Ju- !
ian in possession Of tho club, seemed willing TO =,
rop the matter. He therefore began TO in /
uire into the affair, and seemed satisfied with .
ulinn's account of il; bu, nourishci revenge :
. his heart. BY teo bye, this was the self :
anne officer whom Julian offended on he first i
ight of the voyages he had ever retained a n
emembrance of 1T, aud longed for an oppor-
unity to wreak bis vengeance on the noble
outh. All was roon quiet syain. "
