FAREWELL TO THE DEAD. Come near! ere yet the dust Soil the bright paleness of the settled brow, Look on your brother, and embrace him now, In still and solemn trust! Come near! once more let kindred lips be pressed Oq his cold cheeks then bear him to his rest. Look yet on his young face! What shall the beauty from us gone.

EDWARD AND MARY. CHAPTER II.

It is hardly necessary to state, that the vromise, mentioned in our fast, was kept to

the letter. L.dward touud, in tne periormance, peculiar satisfaction: whether it arose, however, from the consciousness of having done his duty in keeping his word, or other motives, the reader must determine. Certain it is, that his visits to the cottage from that period, to the one we are attempting to describe, were frequent and long. On the morning of the day mentioned in the beginning, Colonel Bremer had left his quarters with a few brother officers, on a hunting expedition, with the particular intention of killing some of the wild bulls found in the forests of Germany: and Edward had departed some hours after on a visit to the cottage. The animals not being easily found, the Colonel's company became dispersed in the search: near mid-day the Colonel found himself alone upon the declivity of a stupendous mountain, in the neighborhood of the valley, whose summit was lost in the clouds. Impatient of ill success, and wearied with the toils of the morning, lie dismounted from his steed, fastened him to a neighbouring hough, and reclined beneath the ample shade of an aged sycamore, which flung its umbrageous foilageover an extent of manyT hundred feet, covering a carpet of the richest verdure unbroken by a shrub.

fell harmless to the ground, a long distance in the rear. The bull, as if conscious that his opponent was disarmed, here paused, and surveyed

him with fierce exultation: nis glowing eyeballs shot at once lightning and terror to the

heart of his victim. For a moment he paw

ed the earth with his black hoofs, shook high his mane of snowy whiteness, lashing

his tremendous sides with his tail, then, rear

ing upon his hinder feet, he fell to the ground, pierced through the heart by the lance of Edward ! who bounded in at the moment upon his charger, and placed himself between Bremer and the animal. The savage, foaming in blood, redoubled his terrific roar, and in the impotence of hi

rage; tossing mounds of earth into the air,

he brandished his black horns at his conquerer, menacing annihilation with the most

appalling ferocity: then, with a deep, hollow groan, without a struggle, stretched him

self in death. Thus, by a fortunate coincidence, did Edward preserve the life of one whose friendship and influence were, to him, invaluable: it was the second smile of fortune. In this instance, as in the preservation of the recluse and his daughter, chance led him to the spot at the moment his services were so much needed, and in both cases his lance was, fortunately, fatal. The Colonel warmly embraced Edward, and they proceeded into the valley, in search of refreshment: here we found them at the commencement; and we will now proceed without further digression. Edward advanced to rncct the approaching pair, and after saluting Mary, took her father by the hand and introduced him to the Colonel of his regiment. V... The recluse cordially met the extended

hand of Bremer, and was about to address him, when, catching a full view of his face, he started back as if he had received the sting of an adder. Recovering himself, he apologized for such seemingly strange conduct, and attributed it to some sudden slight indisposition. The dark, suspicious eye of Bremer, told that he wai but half GutUfied with the excuse, though the cause was explicable: however, in common courtesy, he could do no less than admit the explanation. With his resumed ease, he prepared to salute Mary, to whom Edward was about introducing

him; hut no sooner did he confront her.

than recoiling in a manner that made ail start, he exclaimed, wildly, "JuJia!,? The recluse stepped quickly between Bremer and his daughter, saying, "her mother's name' "And you said Bremer. "I am her guardian,7' returned the recluse. Bremer fixed his keen eye upon him, but fhe diguise ballled his utmost skill; and he muttered "no '(is not it cannot be he but howf continued he aloud "how sav you? her mother? she disappeared that night ?? "What night?"' quickly interrupted the recluse. "What nihtr' echoed Bremer; "why so eager? I repeat, she disappeared suddenly, and, as report said, was killed."' "She was not killed !" again interrupted the recluse. "Then the report was false,"' said Bremer calmly; though his countenance belied the firmness which his tones imparted. "As false as he that told it!" returned the recluse. "Fiends and devils!1 exclaimed the startled Bremer; "who have we here V and with his drawn dagger he advanced in a threatening mariner towards the recluse. Edward threw himself between them, and seized the arm of Bremer, exclaiming "Colonel, is it possible?" The opposition still more inflamed him. "Boy," he replied fiercely, "stand by."' "Never with life!"' said Edward firmly.

lied down the mountain, liremer saw at once that his dependence was now his well tried lance; accordingly, he stationed himself at the foot of the tree, and calmly awaited the approach of this terror of the forest. fc The bull, meanwhile, having descried his enemy in the distance, came thundering along; and, regardless of obstructions, broke down shru')be'v, underbrush, and voune trees, as they had been reeds, leaving behind him, as his wake, a pathway of vegetable desolation. He now reached the open space described, and seeing his antagonist so fairly in his power, with a tremendous roar of defiance sprung boldly forward. Bremer, however, was well prepared for this. He poised his lance with an unshaken hand, and carefully aiming at the heart, with his best force he hurled the deadlv instrument at his foe: hut with a dexterity unparalleled, the wily animal met the advancing spear with his

a look that, if possible, would have crushed Edward to the dust. "Thus, sir i" replied Edward: and he presented to him the ring upon his finger: "Remember this pledge! Remember your oath! But now, you pledged your life and fortune for my safety you redeem it by aiming a dagger at my heart! For shame, sir! respect yourself!" and he turned from him in disgust, and supported Marv, who was alarmed at this scene. Bremer was abashed, and returned not indeed, to reason, but to something as near it as his nature allowed. He muttered a dozen unintelligible apologies, and retired in confusion, commanding Edward to follow him; who, after a hasty farewell to his

friends of the vallev, obeved the orders ofl

The Colonel at length addressed Edward in a peremptory, and, at the same time, interrogatory manner: "Edward, you love this girl?' "And if I do, sir?" returned Edward, hesitatingly, as if at a loss how to understand the unexpected address. "You must love her no longer' "Who forbids it'f "Her uncle!" "Her uncle f echoed Edward in astonishment: "you mistake, sir: her father is her only remaining friend." "Mistake!" said Bremer, sarcastically: "mayhap my eyes are not fellows, nor my senses my own !" "7c that as it raavf replied Edward pointedly "I have repeated the truth. Man has never known but two friends; her father, who yet protects her, and her mother, who died but two vears since." "Perhaps you know their story," said Bremer, eagerly. "Perhaps I may not reveal it," returned

Edward, with an air that showe nitv on that head was useless.-"'

The Colonel was ballled at all points: and remained silent, but his countenance

indicated a rising storm that threatened its unfortunate o1 ect. They now-rc-tthrd the camp, and, without a parting word, separated for the;i respective quarters. .;.

Courtship. Louisa was the only child of

a gentleman, who, blessed with aihuencc, had spared no pains to improve by a liberal education th j graces which nature had lavished upon his daughter. In short, LouUu was an heiress; and, like other heiresses, had a numerous train of suiters. "Among the rest young William bowM, But never talked of Jove." He was a voting man of inestimable worth and talents, which Louisa was not the last to discover; hut he possessed no small share of that ditiider.ee usually attendant on true merit. Their eyes had long professed mutual flame before he could muster the courage to disclo.se his passion. Chance threw in his way a golden opportunity. They were alone. After an awkward silence of some minute., he advanced, took her hand: "Louisa"'! his voice faultcred he could not utter another word ; hut his eloquent countenance spoke the rest. Loui-J sa understood him; and, overwhelmed with! confusion, stammered out, "Go ask m; father r ----- " ! Rebuilt d Love.
