THE VILLAGE BELLE.

Doubtless many pretty Miss expects in
this story, TO read n career Of glorious con
quests; and her blue eyes brighten, and
her little heart beats quicker ut the thought
Of being, one day, the heroine herself of
some legendary proser, and of having her
own victories recorded. Well, the desire to
be loved may reign in an amiable bosom,
may possess Il kind and yrtuous heart. But
power is dangerous, there nre so many
temptations 20 its abuse. These things I
would have my fair readers remember as
they go along with me and it may he, we
shall be the wiser, and therefore better, be-
fore we part.
If ever you come to Alsbury, you will
see n sweet little cottage in the meadows
towards the river valley, half hid away n
mid cluster of black aldcrs, with its white
chimney, and snowy palings peeping
through the foliage, and they will tell you
that Annette Morton once lived there, for
all the villagers remember her. II was one
of those terrestrial paradses which the sick
heart, disgus'ed with The wrongs Of men, SO
often pictures to ilself-so often longs for.
And she, oh, she, WAS a beautiful creature,
my heart, even now, beats quicker os her
image rises before me.
She was COY, lively girl, with the pol
ish Of summer ia the city, and good ed
ucalion and whatever her talents might
have been, she at least possessed the pow
er Of pleasing art of winning hearts IN
a most copious measure. Inever could di-
vine exactly how she did il; but there was
r.. - Al. L.r 81,
spired confidence /; and gifted thus, at all
points, she played most nnstorly game
among the village beaux. Every body was
glad to gallant her---wss emuious which
should pay her the most attention and ev-
cry gentleman in the village wb" could af-
ford to spruce up little, once ia twenty
four hours, paid her an afternoon visit.
II would have been amusing 10 one who
went ms a mere spectator, To have attended
m evening Ievec at the Alder Cottage--a-
nusing to see the address practiccd by the
for her sniIer, ia ellciting
,one dis,in gnishcd mark of her favor. They
,aihcrcd round in The little parIor; If she
poke, It was a strife as to who should most
approve what she said If she dropped her
handkerchief, two or three heads came IN
ontaci in the united effort To restore il to
YER; aud if she walked, they were happy
rho got by her side, and all the rest were
niserable. There were 20 be seen every
nfiety Of countenarce, and every descrip-
lon Of temper; aud such spectator mig!;
ave been edited, though the principal nm
'ression made upon his mind would haye
'een, that couring, under such circumstan-
es, was a s,os, particular foolish kind Of

Al the February session of the Assembly
Joseph Wanton, Jr. was elected, in Grand
Committee, Deputy Govornor, in the place
of John Gardner deceased.
The College, in Rhode Island, was in
corporated at the same session of The As
senbiy.
In town meeting April 18th, 1863, an ac,
passed for setting off the school land into
small lots for sale and lease. Those lots are
what is called "Newtown."
During the long protracted war New
England had borne cons soicuous part
she had contributed in greater degree than
any of her sister colonies to IFS success
she lost more than 10000 of her young men
IN the public service; and perhaps no town,
of the same magnitude, in New England,
contributed more than Newport; her nu-
merous prIvateers were n constant annoy
ance 10 the enemy; at the same time she
carried on a large trade to the French W.
India Islands, by flags of truce; nor did
she suspend her other branches of commerce
to any great extent during the war. After
the peace, and up to the commencement of
the revolutionary war, her commerce was
extensive, her merchants wealthy and sue
cessful, aud every branch of her industry
and enterprise sustained themselves in the
most hourshing condition.
Military Operations,
During the latter part of this, and part
oil The following year, the Indians on the
frontiers, from the lakes to Georgia, con-
cocted general plan of attack upon tn.
Colonies they destroyed many of the from.
tier settlements and murdered the inhabi-
tanis they pushed the war with great cour-
age, snd even possessed themselves of some
of the English forts; and 10 onc case came
near arnitilating the mos, considerable En-
glish army on the northern frontier; bnt af |
ter long and desperate struggle the En-
glIsh arms succeeded, and the savages |
made peace, much to the advantage of the
English.

saw themselves undeservedly deserted; look

young ladies' ever pray about such matters,
that Annette might speedily make her
choice among her worshippers, aud leave
