had nothing to live for none to lore me rtii'l.norc. none to love. My resolution was taken. If I am doomed

to live, 1 said, I will have but one witness of

the past. fhe wilds of tiie new world are open to me. and in their depths 1 will seek a shelter. What! if I shared the covert of a saTajje! have I not lived amongst the civilized ?

As soon a the ordinary preparations were

completed, 1 embarked lor America. To me

who win ignorant of marilimal life, the first few days were sufficiently irksome; hut 1 felt I was weded to misfortune, and I resolved

to m:ike a virtue of endurance. The comparative loneliness, too, of my situation affec

ted me, and the undying worm which was

ted our approach to the neighbourhood of

new nope Settlement. An hour's ride brought us to the spot, and we were wel

comed with a rude but honest heartiness, which amply repaid what I confess had appeared to me a tiresome journey. The family of Delroisier consisted of but four, the father, mother, my new acquaintance, and daughter. TIip

were frank and affable, and somewhat nroud

of the stranger their son had brought them, the more so, as he could tell them of strange

occurrences which had taken place in the mother-country, and of which the slightest intimation had not reached them in their svvan sedition. Emilv Dctrnisier was hn.,l.

the most miserable of morbid conditions. It ?oinc creature, just bursting into womanhood.

was in vain that 1 endeavored to shake offi . s,ronK "d vigorous as the wild fawn of

this mental lethargy in vain that I sought i lhc adJ,n,nS woods. She blushed deeply,

rehel in the vastness and originality of v.he scene around me. I was personally witness-

ing the glorious description, which almost every m an lias read with feelings he will probably never forget, and yet", this new and mighty aspect of nature "failed to awaken one burst of admiration, or elicit one sentiment of rapture, from a mind buoyant and imaginative both by nature and by education. My nights were not less miserable than mv 1 ays were unhappy; theseason of repose bro'"t

in. succour to uie maledicted. The images of my waking thoughts resolved themselves into awful phantoms for the hours of sleep, and distressed me, till the bare idea of retiring to rest became a burden to me. Often and often have 1 stood in moody silence, and watched the lessening rays of the retiring sun, as he withdrew his glories for the irracUation ot another sphere. 1 have marked in mute regret, the solemn advances of darkness, till the curtained heavens became invisible, and I retuned to my cabin with loathing and alarm. In the middle of night I would start from my'inlermiUcnt slumbers with the voice of the denouncer ringing in my ears, "Clement Kennedy, thou art avenrjed!"' At other times my eyes would be"rappalled by the horrid vision of the kneeling females, renewing the prayer of their heavy objurgations. Anon,the dark coffin of poor Marian would be borne by viewless agents alhwait my astonished gaze, and I would stretch forth my hands to stay it, and ponder on the inscription for the dead, and seem to weep, till the suffocation of my ideal sorrow pushed me within tlie confines of tangible suffering. And thu

utfuuiLM nucr lo lorgcl; At length the term of my probation on the waters was completed, and 1 left the circumscription of my wooden home, for the ample range of a splendid city; but it was only to meet a society which I could not enjov, and gaze on scenes whic h I had not the spirit to appreeiate.-rCities had no charm for me; the wilds and solitary fastnesses of nature alone could yield me refuge. In the hotel at which 1 sojourned, I had frequently remarked a young man, who seem ed to me, more intelligent than any one with whom I had come in contact since my arrival. I learned with satisf ufirm iu-f i. .

(apparent ecsttcy of delight, she exclaimed,

"un, now nappy we shall be! '

1 know not how it whs, out the presence of

man gui was a source ot inexpressible uneasiness to me; and from the first week that I

spent in her company, I felt myself irres'sti-

oiy urawn towards her. At lin es my agony wws intense, and I rushed from the presence of all. and unwitnessed, in the bosom of the

woods, I gave loose lo the anguish of my terror-haunted soul. "What!"' I would ask myself, "can the words of a weak woman overleap time and space, and blight me even in solitude? Shall 1 never know compassion more? never more taste the sweet solace of a congenial heart, or repose my unhappy head on the bosom ot unsophisticated affection.?"' I determined that 1 would no longer stoop to such a degradation; that I would fling unmerited punishment to the winds, and in the garb of a sylvan hunter, and in the happy arms of Emily Dctroisier, would seek that measure of delight which had hitherto eluded my grasp; 1 would enjoy the few years which were jet allotted me, in defiance of forebodings for the future, or regrets for the past. Alas! how unstable are the resolves of the unhappy ! when I saw the gay figure of Emily, 1 was whirled in an instant toother dajs and scenes 1 beheld the pale but dear features of the lost Marian, and my C nj: nfr fi'lfi.l n.ilK I. i . r a ...

enaoicu to sit down under the shadow of 'their own vine, and their own fig-tree.' The study of this young man's character, was the only ray which passed athawrt the gloom of my despondency. Though I had fotesworn society m the mass, I had not contemplated the denial of a friend. I had not refused the only source of solace which the rigour of my fate allowed the opportunity of pouring my sorrow into one faithful bosom, and of endeavoring to alleviate a pressure which had become almost unbearable. It was thus that I schooled myself into a desire for the society of Albert Dctroisier: and to pass over the tedium of introduction, 1 found him perfectly worthy of the pains 1 had taken. Business had called him from his settlement, to which he was now immediately to return; it was arranged that I should proceed to his destination with him, and if, happilv, I could fall in with tlieir primitive mode of life, it was reserved for me either to join in their speculations or commence agriculturist on a venture of my own. We set forward on two excellent horses, and a ride of a few miles brought us at once into a wilderness! Xn more Irarp of linm.-m.

nothing daunted; he renewed his pacific gestures with an earnestness which made me smile in compliance, and. stepping on one side, he partly lead my sullen and discomfited

antagonist from the scene of conflict. When I reached home, the account I gave of the rencontre alarmed the family, but particularly Emily, whose affection for me began daily to increase. They rejoiced at the firmness of my resistance, as that would give

my unknown adversary a favourable opin

I promised that 1 would no more endanger a life which had become dear lo her and, shade of Marixn forgive me! scaled the promise on her lips. We heard no more of our Indian friends, and the circumstance which caused depression to the inmatess of New Hope, brought an elevation of the heart to me. This was the

first struggle in which I had been engaged,

anu, without a vaunt, f might say I was the victor. I hailed the omen with a delight

which nozc I cannot but characterize as chil-

dis.li. It was then, however, "llir, rainbmv if

Of course it had been my pleasant province to teach her the latter, and it was a joy to me to hear the plaintive airs of ancient Ireland warble by a music-breathing voice, amid the vast forests the w estern wot Id. I had now became a confirmed settler, and a practised agriculturalist, without even a wish to change my situation. The empty dreams that cheered my boyhood hours the

buried in oblivion; and even1 that I was stri

Pleased with my child's solicitude, I set him down w hile I could procure the desired fruit; but seeing some vet larger and riper furl! icr on, I quilted him for a moment but a moment to snatch a luminous branch, when a faint cry apprised me of his danger.

straggling Indians, who halted for refresh

ment, there were but five of them and two of them I instantly recognized as my friends of the forest. I affected not to know them. Had there been fifty instead of live, I am certain that Gerard betroisicr would have made them welcome. He was, at any lime, an epitome of hospitality, but now, when he was scarcely in the possession of his senses, he would have entertained a colony. Gerard informed them of the nature of our festivity, and the effect the intelligence had on my recent assailant is certainly worth recording. He dashed the maple cup from his lips, and in a few minutes exhibited all the indications of the most intense despair; he bit pieces of flesh from his arms; and seemed the very image df frenzy. He then gave vent to a volly of intonations, and fled to the woods, yelling like a wild beast!
