THE CARRIER PIGEOK. BY PERCIVAL. Come hither tbou beautiful rover, Thou wanderer of earth and of air, Who bearest the sighs of a lover, And bringest him news of his fur; Bend hither thy lig'it waving pinion, And show roe the gloss of thy neck; 0 perch on my band dearest minion, And turn up thy bright eye and peck. Here is bread of the whitest and sweetest, And there is a sip of red wine; Though thy wing is the lightest and fleetest, Twill be fleeter when nerved by the vine: 1 hare written on rose scented paper, With thy wing q'lill a soft billctdoux I have melted the wax in love's taper, 'Tis the colour of true heart's sky blue. I have fastened it under thy pinion, With a blue ribbon round thy soft neck; So go from me beautiful minion, . While the blue ether shews not a speck; Like a cloud in the dim distance fleeting, Like an arrow he hurries away; And farther and farther retreating, He is lost in the clear blue of Uav.

A SOLACE. JTis sweet to think th..t when I die, There's one will hold my languid head, And let m on her bosom lie, 'Till every breath of life is fled. And when these beaming eyes shall close, And lost at last their fading ray, Forever fixed in deep repose, She'll watch beside my lifeless clay. JTis sweet to think that when I'm dead, Hr eye will pour its softer tear, Her hand upon my green turf shed The sweetest flow'rets of the year. 'Tis sweet to think we both shall lie, Ere long, within one common tomb, Till from death's bonds released, we fly To those blest realms beyond its gloom.

EDIVARD AjXD MARY. CHATTER III. The events of the day had made a powerful impression on the mind of Bremer; and the eye that traced him on his excursion, and now watched him in his tent, might discover an alarm-stricken conscience, if not a blood-stained hand. His hardened nature, however, soon overcame all outward perturbation, and the steadiness of his eye seemed to declare that the tumult within was hushed. Throwing aside all concern for the mysterious appearance of Mary, and fear for any circumstances connected with her, he proce; J'd to lay plans for the accomplishment of a deed blacker than any we have yet seen in him, whatever we may have suspected. He had in the short interview with Mary, conceived a desire of possessing her, which, at ail hazards, he resolved to gratify. The greatest impediment to the accomplishing of his purpose, was the love Edward evidently felt for her, which would prompt him to defend her with his life. But Edward had unfortunately placed himself in the power of Bremer, by striking him Ids superior officer, and the strict military law would punish the offence vigorously, which law he now resolved to enforce to its extent. True, witnesses existed who could palliate the crime: but would his policy allow them to appear? The sequel will show. His first step was an application to the commander-in-chief, to whom he stated the ofllince in a most aggravated light. The colonel's high standing in the army removed

all suspicion of falsehood from the mind of

the general, and he immediately granted an order for the arrest and close confinement of Edward, which order, it may well be supposed, Bremer caused to be executed without delay. His next step (for despatch, not less than evil, was his element) was the seizure of Mary. In this proceeding he chose not, personally, to appear. Having selected five of his creatures from his regiment, who were not strangers to many similar acts of violence, he despatched them in the dusk of evening, with orders for three to secure and remain with the cottager while the other two conveyed the girl to a lonely house upon a deserted heath, the inmates of which were devoted to his service. The recluse and his daughter had retired at an early hour, and the villains found all still when they arrived at the spot. With tho greatest precaution and silence they opened a casement, inadvertantly left unfastened, and proceeded to the interior without creating alarm. Aided by a dark lantern, which they now produced, they found their way to the apartment of the recluse, where he lay in tranquil repose. The ruflians, expert from practice in deeds of villany, succeeded in binding him handj

jand foot without awakening him: they then

aroused him to the danger ol his situation. His exclamation of terror brought his daughter to his apartment in an instant. She, too, was seized, and they were proceeding to bear her away, when the voice of the recluse arrested them. He had recognised the two who held his daughter, and who appeared the leaders of the band, as men who were, previous to being driven from his home, his servants; both

of whom, at that time, were devotedly at

tached to him. One ot them, b nburg, owed his life to the recluse, who in his younger

days had rescued him from drowning, and

he had olten sworn never to lorget ins pre

server.

He now thus addressed them: 'Friburg!

Caspar! that lady is the daughter of Fred

erick Bremer! " They loosed their hold, and stood as motionless as if a thunderbolt had burst upon them; while Mary sprung forward and threw herself upon her father's bosom. "The child of our lost master!" exclaimed Friburg,doubtingly ; "can it be possible V The blaze of the lantern flashed full up

on the faces of the father and daughter. "Look upon these features," said the recluse; "you remember my poor lost Julia is not she like her? Friburg! but for this arm, your weltering corse had long since sunk and perished beneath the waters of the Danube; can you doubt the word of Fredcrick, when he now tells you that this maiden is his dear, his beloved, his only child? Julia's spirit has winced its flight to the

realms of eternity; if my morning star of

existence must so soon shed its radiance upon her home of peace, in the realms of bliss, let me too witness its rising!" An exclamation of astonishment burst from both the soldiers at the same moment; and in full conviction of the truth, they advanced and knelt to their former master; swearing, if it were necessary, to sell their lives dearly in his cause ; and Friburg, rising, cut loose the cords with which Count Fredcrick was bound. The other soldiers, who had withdrawn a little, now showed signs of dissatisfaction,

and one coming forward, spoke for the three :

-"Friburg, this is executing the commis

sion of our Colonel well!"

"Curses upon his head!" exclaimed Friburg. "For ten long years we have toiled for him in the path of infamy: we have shed

the blood of his victims, and our own has mingled with it: the cries of slaughtered innocents have reached the throne of eternal

justice, and nightly do we sufler the tor

ments of the damned. Here 1, m the hope

of mercy from a late repentence, renounce

him and his associates: if I am alone in this be it so! here 1 stand, between my

old beloved master, and the mandate of your Colonel, and, opposed, 1 will fight with the

iury oi uncaged lienas: nui n, iiKe men, you

will renounce the service ot a monster who

disgraces humanity; receive the hand of a

friend, and swear to preserve Count Fred

erick Bremer against the machinations of

his brother."

The truth and justice of this appeal were

irresistible. The three advanced and swore

deeply the proposed oath; and the whole five bowed in obedience to the Count. Mary having learned thus much of the Colonel, began to entertain fears for the

safety of Edward, and inquired of Caspar

respecting him. He repeated briefly the circumstance of his being confined, and the cause, stating that his trial would take place on the ensuing morning. "I shall attend that trial," said the Count ;

"fully confident that I can refute his charge,

fcbringon his head the destruction his crimes

have long merited. Friburi:," continued he.

"do you know his dungeon V "1 do," returned Friburg; and have upon my finger a signet that will admit its wearer. "This is fortunate," replied the Count: I must visit my young friend to prepare him for the morning, and encourage him with

the assurance, that he is safe from the wiles

of his Colonel." Hav ing dressed in the suit which he wore on the night of his disappearance from home, eighteen years past, and thrown over himself a dark mantle, he committed his daughter to the care of Caspar and the three soldiers, and departed with Friburg, saying "This dress will protect me from the violence of the only one whom we this night have to fear." Conducted by his faithful guide, he passed the sentinels without interruption, and at length arrived in view of the prison. Friburg here stopped, and giving to his companion the signet, returned to the cottage. The Count advanced, when the sentinel at the gate hailed him with "Whom do you seek?" "Edward Gardiner," was the reply. "Upon whose authority ?" The Count immediately produced the signet. w j "Pass," said the sentinel; and the gate was closed upon him. A soldier conducted

mm to the cell, and retired.

Scarcely was the door closed upon lam. when he heard the slidings of bolts in an-' other quarter, and looking round, saw the Colonel entering cautiously through a private door. The Count retired behind a pro

jecting nook to secrete himself from obser

vation, and watch, in silence, the motions of his brother. The causes of this unexpected appearance of the Colonel it mav be necessary here

to explain. The Colonel felt confident of success, if he was opposed in his charge by no other than Edward. But Edward would name, as a witness, tiie recluse, and demand hi appearance his not being found at his cottage would cause a strict search to be made, and however well secreted by his emissaries, he might be found ; and bis being found would probably result in disagreeable, if not dangerous consequences: besides, the girl would be sought; she might also be found.

and the same consequences ensue. Now. (for the colonel was a cool reasoner, and for his own pleasure, aggrandizement, or safety, did not stop at bloodshed) the removal of Edward his original purpose would save the trouble and perplexity of extra care in the secretion of the recluse and his daughter: his removal or theirs had become indispensable, and one blow, answering the

dragoons! and it was with this intention

that he now entered Edward's cell. Edward lay upon a bed of straw in a com

posed sleep: a lamp was burning at his side,

the light ot which shone brightly upon ins

face, showing a countenance ot tranquility and innocence. He was dreaming, and the few words he uttered may tell the subject of his thoughts: "Mary, dear Marv,v said he, "did I not

tell you that we were safe from the acts of

the Colonel? then, now, and iorever I dely his power." The Colonel, who with his drawn dagger, had been slowly and cautiously advancing, now stood within three feet of the sleeper: he paused for a moment, with a fiend-like sneer, at his last words, exclaiming: "In sleep and in death you may repeat that defiance, but in life never!" and he raised the deadly weapon: the Count, disencumbered of all disguise, advanced at the moment, and in a sepulchral tone that thrilled to the heart of the murderer, cried: "Forbear!" Not the yell of myriads of pent demons bursting in one awful roar from the innermost caverns of hell, could have whelmed the maddening brain of the amazed Bremer in such unearthly horror, as the well-remembered voice of his murdered brother at this

i guilty moment.

The dagger dropped from his. nerveless

grasp his whole frame shook like an aspen,

and lie fell senseless upon the ground.

Edward awakened at the sound, and

would have started from his bed, but the

Count hastened to his side, and in a low voice gave him a brief description of the

scene before him, requesting him to remain

still; then, returning to his former position.

he spoke in the same deep tone : "Richard !"

The Colonel, aroused by the sound, rais

ed himself on his elbow, and with horroi

painted upon every feature, gazed wildly

upon the form of his brother. The voice repeated: "Richard, follow

Bremer sprung upon his feet: the terror of guilt sat heavily upon his soul; his features and form were distorted ; a deep sweat of agony burst from his face, while he incoherently addressed the advancing figure: "Back back claim the dead if thou wilt the living are not for thee avaunt! my cry shall rouse the spirits of hell to claim thee to ha!
