In tbe course of an excursion thronoh one of tbe remit countie of E'tjrlaod, I had struck ia to one of I hose cross-road that lead through the more secluded parts of the country, and stopped one afternoon at a village, the aitaatiou of which wis beautifully rur! and retired. There wa au air oi' prinsitiTe simplicity about its inhabitants, tiot to be found in thr villages which lie on the p real coach loads, I determined to pass the niht there, and having taken an early dinner, strolled out to enjoy the neighboring scenery.. My ramble, as is unusually the case with trn eller, suuu led ma to a church, which stood a iit tie distance from the village. Indeed, it was an object of some eurioaity, its' old lower being com pWtely overruu with ivy, bo that ouly 'here and there a jutting buttress, an angel of gray wall, or a fantastically carved ornament, peered through the verdant covering. It was a lovely evening. Tbe early part of the day had beeu dark and showery, but in tbe afternoon it hd ' cleared up; and tbo' sullen cJouJa still hung overhead, yet there was a broad tract of golden . aky in the west, from which the setting sun gleam d through the dripping leaves, and lit op all nature into a melancholy smile. It seemed like the parting hour of a good christian, smiling on (he sins and sorrows of the world, giving, in tbe aerenity of bis decline, aa assurance that be will rise again in glory. " X had sealed myself on a half'sunken tomb ctone, and was rausing, as one U apt to do at this nober thoughted hour, on past scenes, and early friends on those who were distant, and those who were dead and indulging in that kind of tnelaaeholf iaacying, which bas in it iomethiog sweeter even than pleasure. - Every now. and then, the stroke of a bell from the neighboring tower fell ea my 'ear; its tones were ia unison with, the scene, and, instead of jarring, chimed ta with .my feeling; and it -was torn time before I recollected, that it most be tolling the knU of woaaa new tenant e the tomb.

' The superiority of ber charms was ielt and ac knowledged by ber companions, bat without envy; for it was surpassed by the unassuming gentleness and winning bind ness of bermanners--It might be truly said of her ''This Is' the prettiest low bora, that srer . Ran en the greensward; nothing she does or seems But smacks something greater tia herself: Teosrable sVr this plaee.r :. 'j, j ; ii The village was one of those sequestered spots, which still retains some resties of English cus- tsstrr II bad its rural tesdvity and holiday pas- tlmes, and still kept up some faint obserTSnce of the once popular rites of May. These, indeed, bad; been promoted by the present pastor, who was a lover of old customs, and one of those simple christians that think their mission fulfill ed by promoting joy on earth and good will a-mong mankind. Under aaspices the Maypole stood from year to year in the centre of the vil lage green; on May-day it was decorated with garlands and streamers; and a queen or lady of the May was appointed, as in former times, to preside at the sport, and distribute the prises and rewards. The picturesque situation of the village and the fancifulness of its rust to fetes, would often attract the notice of casual risitors. Among these, on one Mayday, was a young offi cer, whose regiment bad been recently quartered in the neighborhood. He was charmed with the native taste that prevaded this village pageant; but, above all, with the dawning loveliness of the queen of May. It was the village favorite, who was crowned with dowers, and blushing and smiling in all the beautiful confusion of jrirliab diffidence and delight. ' The srtlessness of rural habits enabled him readily to make her acquaint tance; he gradually won his way into ber intimacy; and paid court to her in that unthinking way in which young officers are apt to trifle with rus- tic simplicity. There was nothing in bis advances to startle or alarm. He never even talked of love; but there are modes of making it, more eloquent than language and which convey it snbtilely and irresistible to the heart. The beam of the eye, the tone of the voice, the thousand tendernesses which emanate from, every word, and look, and action these form the tree eloquence of love, and can always be felt and understood but never described. Can we wonder that they should readily win a heart young; guileless, and susceptibU? As to her, she loved, almost nn consciously; she scarcely inquired what was the growing passion that was absorbing every thought and feeling, or what were to be its consequences. She indeed, looked not to the future. When present, his looks and words occupied her whole attention; when absent, she thought but of what bad passed at their reeent interview. She would wander with him through the green lanes and rural scenes of the vicinity. lie taught bsr to see new beauties in nature; he talked to her in the language of polite and cultivated life, and breathed into ber ear the witch eries of romance aad poetry. Pethape there could not bars been a passion between the sexes, more pure than this Innocent girl's. '.The -gallant figure of her youthful ad. mirer, and the splendor of his military attire. might at 6rst have charmed ber eye; but it was not these that had captured her heart, Tier at tachment had something ia it of idolatry; she looked np to him ea to a being of a superior order. She felt in bis society the enthusiasm of a mind naturally delicate and poetical, and now first awakened to a keen perception of the beau tiful and grand. Of the sordid distictions of rank and fortune, she thought nothing; U was the difference of intellect, of demeanor, of manners, from those of tbe rustic society to which she bad been' accustomed that elevated bim in ber. opinion. ' She would - listen to bim. with charmed ear and downcast look of mate delight, and ber'ebeek .woatd .'mantle witb enthusiasm; or if ever she ventured a shy glance of timid admiration, it was a quickly withdrawn, and aba would sigh aad blusa at the tdsa of ber com paraCve enwefnes ;' :v; f;i ;X s , Her lever was eq sally impassioned; bahis passion was mingled witb feelingr of a eoaser nature."

V .;t'f -i Tbe -sudden .arrival of jwdart JoC tbe regi rnent to repair , to tbe .continent, .completed bis confusion of mind. Tie remained for a short time in a state of tbe most painful irresolution; be-heaitated to commnnicate the , tidings, antil the day for marching was at band, when be gave her the intelligence ia tbe , course o f aa ereaing ramble. , , ' . . .Tbe idea of a parting bad. never before occurred to bar .,,ja broke ia at ooce apoa ber dreaas of , felicity: she looked npon' it as sudden and tar surmourrtable evil, and wept witb the guileless simplicity of a child. He drew, bet Jo bis bos om and kissed the tears from ber soft ebeek; cor s i i . i i r ? . - oia jne meeiwua rrpuiso, joy were wrvvavia ents of mingled sorrow and tenderness, which hallow the caresses of aCectioa. ,He,was aa-turally impetuous, and the sight of besuty ap parently yielding in his arms, ?the confidence of, his power over ber, and tbe dread of loosing her forever, all conspired to overwhelm hisbitter feelings-berfventared to propose, that she should leave ber hpme, .and. be ,. ecompanionj oCbij fortunes. '. " t T r.. He was quite a aoviee ia seduction, and.blush ed and faltered at bis own baseness; but, solnT noeent of mind ..was his intended victim, that she was at first ata loss to comprehend bi meaning;--nd why she e. should leave ber, native village, and tbe hamble rooC of ber parents1? When at last the nature of the proposal flashed npon her pare mind, the effect was withering. She did not weep she did. not break forth into reproaches she .said not a word bat she shrank back aghast as from a viper, gave him a look of anguish the t pierced to bis very soul, and clasping her bands in agony, tied as it tor refuge, to ber father's cottage.. , : Tbe officer retired, 7 confounded, hamiTiated and repentant. It is an certain what might hare been the result of the conflict of bis feelings, had not bis thoughts been diverted by the bustle of departure. New scenes, new pleasures, and new Companions, soon dissipated his self-reproach, and stifled bis tenderness. Yet amidst the stic of camps, the revelries, of garrisons, the array of armies, and even the dm of battles, his thoughts would sometimes steal back , to the scenes of rural quiet and village simplicity the white cottage the footpath along the silver brook and up the hasthorn hedge, and the little village maid loitering along it, leaning on bis arm, end listening to him with eys beaming with unconscious affection. Tbe shock which the poor girl Jjed received, in the destruction of her ideal world, had indeed been cruel. Paintings and hysterics had at first shaken her tender frame, and were succeeded by a settled and pining 'melancholy. She had be held from ber window the march of the departed troops. She had seen ber faithful lover borne off, as if, in triumph, amidst the sound of dram and trumpet, and the pomp of arms. Sho strained a last aching gazer after him, as the morning sun glittered about his figure, and his plume waved In tbe breeze; he passed away like a bright vision from ber sight, and left ber all ia darkness. V . " ' . v" ' . . ' It would be trite to dwell on tho particulars of her after story. - It was like, other tales of love, melancnoly. ' She avoided society; and wander ed out alone ia tbe walks she bad most frequent ed with-ber lover. She sought, like the stricken deer to weep ia silence and loneliness, and brood over the barbed arrow (that rankled ia her soul. Sometimes she would be seen late of an evening a tting ia- the porch of ' the village ebarcb; aad the milk-maids, re to ruing from the fields, would now and then overhear ber, singing some plaintive ditty ia the hawthorn walk.- She r became fervent in ber devotions at eburob; and as the old people saw ber approach, so 'Wasted away yet witb a hectio bloom, aad that hallowed air which melancholy diffuses round the form, tbey would make way for her as for something spiritual, and, looking after her, would shake their heads in gloomy-foreboding. She felt a conviction- that she was hastening to the tomb, bat looked forward to it as a place of rest. Tbe silver cord that had bound ber to existence was lossed and there see reed to be no more pleasure ander theua. If ever bee gentle bosom bad entertained resentmeot . against her lover, it was extingaished. She was incapable of angry passions, and ia a moment of reddened tenderness she penned bim a farewell letter. It was coached ia lie dm pleat language, bat touching from its very simplicity.- She told Vim-that she was -dying, end. did apt conceal from him that bis conduct was' the eaose, be area depicted tbe . sufferings which she bad experieo ced; but concluded with saying, that she. could aot die oleaeet no til she bad sent bim ber for-giveaess and ber blessing. -f ,Byr degrees ber streagtb- declieedp-. ead - she eoald; no longer leave tbe cotlage. -She jpould ooly totter, to tbe vriado, where, propped op ia her chair, it was ber enjoyment to sit all day. and look .oat a.pon.Uie landscape, - Still she .jittered no eompUint nor imparted tvaay.eae tbe malady taat was "preyiog oav ber ;beart vSbe never 4 evea jseationed herJover's eame Xat wo14 lay ber bead prt, ber. mother's bosora .aad, weep .in si leace.Her pooy vjsjreatsbang, ja taut anxJety over this fading blossom of their bqpes, cUU flat teriog , themselves that it mi jiht egaia revive to freshness, and ;that the bright enearthly bloom which sometimes flushed he? cbee miht be lbs promise ef returning bealth.
