ROMANTIC.

I recollect pretty incident, which
may not be unintercsting to the reader.
A wild young fellow married lovely
girl, aud having been long addicted to
habits Of dissipation, even the sincere at
tachment lie entertained towards his
wife could not entirely disentangle him
from its snares. His occasional irregu.
lsr hours, would have given any one but
one Of SO pure and sweet n disposition,
every reason to suspect that she did cot
hold that place in his affections which
was her right; but this reflection scarce
" ever iptruded on her spirits. The
husband was far from being cruel, nnd
really loved her. but his disposition was
weak and his companions eloquent, and
he seemed to grow worse rather than
better in his habits. 1t happened once
that lie was called out of town, and in
his haste, left behind hlm a lettef, In
which 10 please nm unprincipled friend
he had spoken of his wife in terms Of
carelessness, If not Of derision, and dila-
ted freely on his general course Of life.
| Imagine the anxiety and suspense IT the
startled profligntc, when he found him
self borne by a rapid steamboat upon a
Journey which must necessarily be Of Sc.
veral days duration, yet remembered
distinctly that the fatal letter was left ex-
posed and unsealcd upon his wife'sN IA.
BILE. He recollected too, with q pa,g,
that he had wsntonly, in answer to Per
inquiries, boasted that it contained .
profound secret which he would not lSve
revealed for tho world. He paced The
deck in an agony Of disappointment snd
shame. He pictured her opening the
let,cr-:urning pale with horror andln-
neutrality-suspicious. faintiny with anguish
--aiarming the servants-fying TO ger
fa,hor---renouncing him forever. As
soon as possible he returned but with a
sinking heart, to his dwelling, brscng
himself up to meet the fury Of an enrsg-
cd and wretched woman. lie opencd
the door softly. She was bending over
her table busiIy writing. A placid smile
sealed her mouth with a perfect beauty
and spread over her glowing features iho
mild expression Of peace aud Joy; and
even M she wrote, the fragment of a
sweet ballad fell from her lips in lew
music, that flows only from heart tn-
tirely at rest. Tho husband stole in
noiselcssly around, and read as her pen
traced her gentle thoughts.
Your letter is lying by me. Tho vsry,
very letter containing the profound se-
crss.' Now could punish you for your
csrelessness; but my dearest Charles
how could I look you in the face on your
return, ,iafter having bascly violated your
trust in my integrity, and meanIy sought
to crafty a silly curiosity at the expense
cf honesty, deIicacy. and con6dsnce.

Nor when a thousand merry eyes are glsncing
Bright with tho laughter Of their festival.
But when the sweet and silent evening bringett
A holy quiet over land and lea,
When tho young violet in the darknoss spring

And the lone night in tho dim wood singeth,
Then, thou wilt think Of .s'

When through his eyes his soul tLy beauty
