which return to him"
The father and his son fell at their bene-
factors feet, expressing the most lively
gratitude for his generosity; but the son
respectfully declined the offer Of liberty,
and entreated the captain to accept of his
services, which with some difficulty he OBJ
tanned, representing that his father then
had no employment for him. He joined the
regiment and fulfilled the term of his en-
gagement He had always while in the
army, saved a small sum out of his pay,
which he regularly remitted to his father
and upon receiving his discharge returned
to provide, by his daily labor, for their
mutual support.

FILIAL AFFECTION,

FILIAL AFFECTION.
A French officer going to rejoin his regi-
ment, took the opportunity, while on the
road, to enlist some recruits with whom he
wanted to complete his company, and had
got several in a city where he had halted.
Two days before he determined to march
from the city, a young man of very grace
full figure and pleasing aspect presented
himself. An air Of politeness and candor
prepossessed every beholder in his favor,
and the officer at the first interview wished
to engage him, while with the utmost pre-
cipitation he offered to enlist The officer
perceived his embarrassment, and tried to
remove it.
'Ah, SIR" said the young man, edo not,
l entreat you, attribute my disorder to any
base or shameful motive; but perhaps you
do not choose to engage me, and in that
case dreadful indeed will be my misfor-
tune"
Some tears escaped as he uttered these
last words, and the humane officer, eager
to relieve him, demanded to know his con-
dition.
"They will, perhaps, disgust you, sir,
and cannot propose them without tremb-
ling. [ am young. You see my size. I
have strength and every disposition to serve
but the unfortunate circumstances I am in
compel me to set price upon myself, which
I am confident you will think is too exorbi-
| taut, though I can offer no abatement Be.
lieve me, that without the most pressing
reasons 1 would never sell my services. 1
cannot follow you for less than five hundred
livres, and you will break my heart if you
refuse me.'
Give hundred % replied the officer. The
sum is considerable l confess but I feel
myself prepossessed in your favor. You
seem well disposed. Therefore I will not
dispute the bargain with you. Here is the
cash. Sign, and hold yourself in readiness
| the day after Tomorrow
The young man seemed overjoyed at thus
obtaining his desire, and with great alacrity
signed the engagement.
After receiving his five hundred livres, he
requested his captains permission for
short absence to fulfil sacred duty, and
promised speedy return. 1t was granted.
But the officer, curious to find out the in
tention of his new soldier, followed him,
who, on his part, rather few than ran to
the prison, knocked eagerly at the door,
which was no sooner opened, than he darted
in, saying hastily to the jailor:
"I have here the sum for which my fa-
ther was arrested. Take care of it, but
conduct me to him."
The officer stopped moment to give him
time to 60 alone to his father, and then fol-
lowed. But how affecting was the scene
that presented itself. The young man
closely embraced his aged father, who, upon
hearing the sacrifice he had made. felt his
emotion too powerful to express-but his
silent, though eloquent language of tears
evinced his gratitude to the Almighty for
giving him so inestimable son, while pa
ternal tenderness mourned the sad extrem-
ity to which he was driven.
The officer no longer able to conceal his
feelings now came forward and said
"Take comfort, my good old man. 1
will not take your son from you; but on
the contrary, will share with him in the
meritorious action he has performed.

4 SKETCH.


of evening, at the couch of two infants,
whose rosy arms were entwined in mutual
embrace. A slumber, soft and still as the
moonlight that fell through the lattice over
them, like silvery veil, lay on their
delicate lips-the soft bright curls that
clustered on their pillow were slightly
stirred by their gentle and healthy breath,
and that smile which beams from the fresh
glad spirit yet rested on their lips The
mother looked upon their exceeding beauty
with momentary pride; and then, as she
continued to gaze On the lovely sleepers,
her dark eye deepened with an intense and
unutterable fondness, and cold shudderine
fear crept over her, lest those buds of life,
so fair, so glowing, might be touched with
sudden decay, and gathered back in their
brightness to the dust. And she lifted her
voice in prayer, solemnly, passionately,
earnestly, that the Giver of Life would still
spare to her those blossoms of love, over
whom her soul thus yearnel. And as the
low breathed accents rose on the still air,
a deepened thought came over her, and her
spirit went out with her loved and pure
ones into the strange wild paths of life, and
a strong horror chilled her frame as she
beheld mildew and blight settling on the
fair and lovely of the earth, and high and
rich hearts scathed with desolating and
guilty passions. And the prayer she was
breathing grew yet more fervent, even to
agony, that He, who was the fountain of
all purity, would preserve these whom He
had given her in their perfect innocence,
permitting neither shame, nor crime, nor
folly, to cast stain on the brightness with
which she had received them invested from
His hand, as with mantle.
AS the prayer died away in the weakness
of the spent spirit, pale shadowy form
stood beside the infant sleepers. 81 am
Death,' it said, sand come for thy babes;
l am commissioned to bear them where the
perils you so greatly fear are unknown;
where neither stain, nor dust, nor SHADOW,
N'~A ANe'SAA sAS ASJoASAnS cplTIt. IL Is OLly
/ by yielding them to me you can preserve
them forever from the contamination and
decay of this world.'' A wild confiict-a
struggle as Of the soul painting in strong
agony-shook the mothers frame; but
faith, and the love which hath purer fount
than that of earthward passions, triumphed,
and she yielded up her babes to the dread
spectre.
"Behold" said Death, as he touched the
fair forms with his cold hand, and the
beauty of life gave place to holier and
deeper loveliness; ''behold, the smile Of
innocence is now forever sealed; they will
waken where there is neither blight nor
tempest" And the benign power, whom
we call the spoiler, took away the now
perfected blossoms Of Immortality to the
far off sky.
