iof his or her wishes, ia the married sate--that
earthly paradise lost."'
The next shock which Sophia received, was
from notice in the papers, that Col. Jackson
|had accepted challenge to duel, from off
Ger of the navy, and that meeting would soon
take place. sg
This intelligence threw Sophia and all the fam
|ily into the depths of distress. They knew that
jackson was conscientious!y opposed to the prac-
tice of duelling; but they knew also that he pos
sessed an undaunted and lofty spirit, which could
not brook an insult He had held Colone's
commission in the British Army, when quite
young; but had resigned in disgust, on account OF
the principles which he had imbibed in childhood,
in favor of American liberty-under whose bans
ners he was born.
| The papers were searched with great avidity
for about twenty DAYS, when news arrived that
the parties had met, and the difference had termi-
mated in manner highly honorable to the char
acter of Col. Jackson.
| But poor Sophia was destined to face another
lwhirwind, more terrible than all the rest. About
two months afterwards when Sophia had just re-
turned from pleasant walk in high Spirits she
took up paper and read in it that Col. Francis
iS jackson was married on such day, by such
priest at Augusta, to Miss Eleanor Woodhouse.
Had thousand claps of thunder all struck
around her at once, she could not have been more
Iamazed Here was an end to all her hopes
Her father and mother strove to console her but
lin vain She became seriously i'll, and in few
DAYS would have passed to the world of spirits,
had not physician been found whose skill was
Iinfallible
Doctor ", of William street, who had
icon.tnnty attended her fos several days, at last
brought remedy which effected material alter
la:ion favorable to her recovery, in few minutes
He first went and told Sophia that she must
prepare for a sudden shock-to muster ali her
fortitude and resolution. He left her and in
la fe@ minutes returned, with no other than Col.
jackson!
''Dear injured girl" said he, "give yourself no
more trouble. | am satisfied of your innocence,
am not married,* and never shall be, to any per-
son but yourself"
Suffice to say, that Sophia shortly exchanged
her couch Of sickness for the bridal bed, and the
family were all made happy and independent for
life.
The moral to be drawn from this story, which
lis founded principally on fact, excepting the
names Of the parles,) is obvious-lhat
Virtue will triumph at last,
When vice and folly stand aghast.
