Litchfield enquirer. [volume] (Litchfield, Conn.) 1829-current, 1841-08-19

made his literary debut in the pages OF u ia"
ris periodical, then under the editorial care
of young lady of noble family, who'
having lost her father and her most intiuen-
tial relatives-some of them by natural
death, and others by the guillotlne, was
obliged to employ her talents and learning,
which were great, in writing for the support
of herself and those who were Dependent on
her. To the publication conducted by tins
lady. M, Guizot sent contributions every
month. These elected expressions of warm
admiration from the pen OF the fair editresS,
and were read with qualification by the pub
lie. Still no one had the slightest idea from
what quarter they proceeded. 1t so happen
ed that about this time the lady was taken
suddenly ill, and Of course obliged to sus-
pend for time all literary labor. M. G,i-
zot having accidentally become aware OF the
circumstance, conveyed an anonymous lntI-
nation to her that he Qhe correspondent
whose writings she had SO often pralsed)
would furnish all the requisite matter for the
publication until she had sufficiently recov-
cred to resume her editorial duties. And
most ably and faithfully did he perform his
promise The lady felt, Oh her restoration
to health, that her noble minded unknown
friend had been the salvation Of her work,
and, in some measure, OF her fortunes.
Soon after they chanced to meet in the
house Of mutual friend, but without the la
DIV having the slightest idea that the cores
pendent to whom she felt so deeply indebted,
was present. In the fullnesS OF her heart,
she then and there, as she was in the habit OF
doing in every company in which she chanc-
ed to mix, gave utterance to her gratitude
accompanying it with expressions OF the
deepest regret that she had not the happI-
ness of knowing the generous individual 70
whom she was laid under such infinite o6lI-
cations. The reader is left to imagine what
must have been M. Guizot's fee lings while
all this was passing in his presence. The
lapse of time, SO far from deadening the Ia
dy's sense of gratitude to the friend who had
so CALAMITY rushed 10 her aid in the hour OF
need, only served to deepen the feeling, and
to impart an additional intensity to her de-
sire to have an opportunity of thanking HIM
in person. With this view she inserted
paragraph in her publication, imploring her
benefactor-fo such as well as friend she
considered him to be-to communicate his
address to her. The notice appeared at GER
tain intervals, without eliciting the desired
AT length, however. as she per-
sisted in repeating it, as if resolved not to be
defeated in an object so dear to her heart, M.
Guizot forwarded his address to the office OF
the lady's publication. Apersonal interview
between the parties was the result. Inc
formation of a mutual friendship followed
that friendship soon ripened into reciprocal
love, and that love, after the lapse OF limit
ed period, was crowned and consummated at
Hymen's altar.
One would explore in vain the almost
Doundless regions of romance, in quest OF
union having been formed I'M
Tor more Sinpular circumstances,
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.-We ex-
ract the following sketch from London
of the Trenton Emporium.
But what Of the Queen, you will say, and
low does she look! So natural is curiosity
bout one so young, and the accidental heir
O such fortune. A lady too! Well, will
irst tell you how she does not look. She
loes not look like any one OF the thousand
portraits l have seen of her. Painters may
;all them resemblances, but they are not t'ke
1er. Sully's is a fine picture, but too magnl-
scent. The London artists have made num-
DerleSs attempts-the windows are full OF
of busts, and the museums
and bazaars of wax figures; but it any are
curious enough to know how she does look,
hey must come TO London, as l have done,
md take good long look at her.
She was % last May-but she does not ap-
pear so old. She is little, delicate, fair-ta-
ed girl, with very light blue eyes, and glossy |
light hair smoothly dressed on her forehead !
her teeth do not show as in her portraits,
hough l suppose they do little when her
ace is ut rest. should call her rather pref
y-there is a decided expression of gentle, |
Innocent, girlish sweetness in her counte-
such face as one who looks on
il may we'll remember for a day-and pray
hat it may never be clouded with the cares
and splendid misery Of station such as hers.
/ do not know that hers is a crown Of
lhorns; but l thought, and perhaps she
thought, as she looked quickly and anxiously
about her on the crowd, of the mad and
wicked attempt, not long since, made near
that very spot, to assassinatc her and her (
husband, by boy OF eighteen.
Prince Albert is decidedly handsome
young man, and though he wears the abomi-
lable moustachios which almost brutalize
he faces of three fourths of the fashionables
here, he appears to be q modest, unassuming,
quiet, family kind of parsonage. He keeps
himself entirely clear of thu politics of the
day, and is never spoken of by any one ex-
cept as the Queens husband"
Character ofa Dashing Girl.-Fanny Wild
ing was what the world calls an animated
girl :--she would pun, throw a jest whenever
she could, affect opinions different from all
the world, talk upon abstruse subjects, quote
Homer to an officer Of the army, and talk Of
motion to an effeminate man Of
fashion.
Self-opinionated, with complete self.pos-
session, q sarcastic sheer, and bewitching
smile, good person. and many accomplish
ments, this young woman was known as
genius. She was connoisseur in painting,
an amateur in music, perfect dancer, an
