From the Western MonUdy Magazine. THE VISIONS OF YOUTH. The visions of youth! Ob, how pleasant are they To the hearts of the young, and the lovely ami gay ; AVhen the feelings of life are all fresh in their bloom, And no sorrow around them dispenses its gloom : Oh, then will they bound in their joy and delight, Undisturbed by the fear of the world's fatal blight, Which blasts in its budding each flower that springs Into beauty and life ; and the winter frost brings. The visions of childhood first dawn to the view, And the heart clings to them as the rose to the dew, Like the stars which spring forth on the brow of the night, They gladden its portals with lustre and light ; Oh never can man, in his journey on earth, To pleasures like these in his fancy give birth; For the hours of childhood and boyhood alone, Are those from which sorrow an I sadness have flown. The visions of boyhood then gladden the soul, And then have we reached pleasure's happiest goal, And on through the mazes of life are we borne, The pathway of flowrets unmarked by a thorn ; Our hearts are then reckless of sorrow and care As the sun of the clouds that are floating in air; They may dim for awhile, but their reign is soon o'er, And the soul is as joyous and gay as before.

As "passages" arc all the rage, I might be more j politic if I were to entitled this little sketch, "Some j Passages from the Life of Harry 3lason," for the story principally relates to him, and I bhall give it ; tothe reader in the same words in which it was related to me by himself it needs, however, a few words of preface. At the time I left home to travel and "finish mv education" in Europe, my friend, Harry Mason, was engaged to be married; but as Julia Leman was very young, and Harry had important business to settle in the Western Country, it was resolved that their marriage should be postponed for a year, during which time he should visit Ohio, and she should mingle more in society than she had hitherto done. On my return from my travels, I visited Harrv; he ! Was married, and narrated to me the incidents which i I am about to repeat. I shall commence as he was ' on his return to JNcw-xork. It was not,' he began, 'in such a road as the Na- 1 tional, or, as it is sometimes called, the Clay road, j that I found myself, as the shades of evening gath- ! ercd round me at the close of a tempestuous day in . March. On either hand waved a vast impenetrable forest, springing, as it appeared, immediately from the bosom of an extensive, and, in many places, unfathomable swamp. The trunks of trees cut down and laid transversely across the clearing offered a rude passage for the traveller, but fierce and longcontinued rains had washed away, in many places, the clay and sand with which the interstices had been filled, leaving deep, dangerous cavities, rendering it necessary to proceed slowly and with circumspection, even while aided by the light of day which struggled and streamed through the moss-covered branches of the trees. No cheering mile-stone rose to greet the anxious traveller no humble "finger- . board" appeared, to encourage him with tidings of whereabouts. If such was the state of affairs under the most favorable circumstances, you may well imagine that I did not feel too well pleased with the prospect before me. I judged that I was about 12 miles from Columbus. lJut I had calculated on reaching a house, which had been mentioned to me, before night-fall, and I was sure that I could not have missed my way, for the simple reason that there was but one. The beast I rode was unsurpassed for strength and spirit, and I had no fear of his failing me in any extremity; but dark massy clouds came whistling over the opening in the trees and the blackness of night, to a sudden, succeeded to the twilight of evening. The wind for a moment subsided; great, heavy drops of rain came plashing down, the higher branches of the more elevated trees, 6i"ghed as they yielded to the coming breeze, the tough and sturdy trunks bent down and groaned as if in agony; the fury of a whirlwind swept across them. It did not rain, nor hail, but sleet, and hail, and rain enveloped every thing in one vast sheet. Still, for what seemed to me another hour, though it wa3 probably not near so long, we struggled on. 1 he tempest did not decrease in violence. Occa Eionally some old patriarch of the forest, which long had battled and withstood the storm, now overcome" I sunk crashing, thundering drown, bearing its lesser ' and more pliant neighborswith it to the ground. j Wet, cold and. almost frozen. I bean to feel a languid sickness stealing over me: drowsiness was ' fast overcoming me. I roused myself however. Sclirn,' said I, speaking to my horse, 'we might as well break our necks as freeze to death so come along, my boy.' Thus saying, I bent my head to the Baddle-bow, slackened the rein, and touching him lightly with the spur, the gallant steed bounded forward. Away we went, fast but not far. I felt mv- ! self taking an airv fliirht. and for a time I knew no more. 'Stop him!' cried I, as I started and attempted to rise. With difficulty I opened my eyes I whs in j bed. The room in which 1 lav was small, but the glorious sunsnine was ueaming in at tne windows j and the sound of merry birds fell on my ear. Where I .am II thought I, as I again essayed to rise. Thej pain which the effort cost me was excessive, and I ! ! 1 . I relapsed into insensibility. Presently I heard the sound of whispered voices I slowly unclosed my eyelids. Before me, and near the bed on which I had been placed, stood the handsome figure of a young man, whose intelligent face turned towards mine, was full of an expression of anxious solicitude. By his side, though a little behind him, stood a female form upon whose features compassion was no less strongly marked. But I will not detain you. It was not, of course, immediatelv that I learned that after my fall my horse had strayed but a short distance, when, coming to a fence, the natural in- j Btinctof the beast prompting him to give token of1 his vicinity, he had been heard bv the inhabitants of 1 a small house situated within the enclosure, who, ! expecting to find a ben out in spite ot the storm had discovered my senseless to a shelter.

I-read to her such authors as she had, and she listened with Oofound attention.

,4Sweetwas to us the Hermitage, Of this unplonghed, untrodden shore," said I when the door opened and in walked my physician. Catharines eyes, which a moment before had been all tenderness and love, now brightened up

i with pleasure as she rose to meet him. He asked I but a few questions and pleading business retired. She followed hnn and as she did not entirely doe the door, I could not avoid overhearing part of the conversation which ensued. What this was, I need not repeat; at lust, however, he said in an affectionate voice, 'In one month, Catharine, our house will be completed and then I was suddenly seized with an excessive thirst and called her. She instantly obeyed (he summons. 'Catharine,' said I, when I had moistened my lips with the drink she handed me.'is there no other physician near enough to be brought for me!' -onc,' she replied, 'who are thought so skilful as the one that has just left you; but why do you ask' j

'liecause, 1 answered, 'I cannot help thinking j increasing tenderness. Again the words, the tiethat I have been detained here longer than was ne- iclaration of my love, were mounting to my lips, but

cessary; you must all be tired of me, and at all events j j I am determined to remove immediately toColum 1 k.., 'Oh! that's impossible,' interrupted she. Or,' added I, 'obtain the opinion of some one in whom I can place more confidence than in your favorite.' 'Poor William! how mortified he will le!' said Catharine, 'and yet he always told me he was sure you did not like him.' 'He is mistaken, then,' said I, exerting all my dignity; 'circumstances beyond my control have for a time brought us in contact, but I assure you that for him, or such as him ' 'Hold, sir!' cried she, as she arose from her seat 'you have not confidence in your physician you surely have a riirht to change. So loner as my la ther's roof and my poor services can be of use to you, they are at your command they have been freely rendered, they shall be so still. But,' she continued, after a pause, during which her eyes filled with tears, 'to me, you must not speak in contemptuous terms of the kindest and most affectionate of brothers.' For a moment I was confounded, but the next instant I sprang from my chair I seized her hand I pressed it to my lips and, spite of bruises, dislocated shoulder, swimming head, I capered round the j room like a madman. Alas! poor Julia! In another instant I should have octed like a villain I should have offered her my heart and, reckless of my vows to Julia, forgetting that I was bound to her in nonor, snoulu nave pledged myselt to Uatharine. Fortunately, however, I was saved; disease and pain resumed the mastery, and I sank exhausted in my seat again. IJut, though I had escaped irremediably committing myself, I had seen into my own heart, and I felt that I loved Catharine; and as I knew no means by which I could honorably extricate myself from the difficulty in which I was placed, I could not but shudder at the precipice on the verge of which I stood. It was evident that she looked for an explanation of my extraordinary con duct, but how could I offer one! I increased her uavs alter, when visited by iier i - - . 1 1 t brother. 'My dear doctor, said I, rising from my chair and offering him my hand, 'I am glad to see you; for j though I am now almost well, yet I am never satisfied unless I see you every day.' He looked amazed. Business, he said, had prevented his calling for the last few days, and he knew that his presence was 'not absolutely necessary. Suffice it that after spending a couple of hours together, we parted mutually pleased with each other, and Catharine who doated on her brother, looked prouder and and happier as her eyes thanked me for my attention to him. I had written to Julia as soon as possible after my accident, but had received no answer, although several weeks had now elapsed. I determined to prosecute my journey homeward, and signified my intention to the good old farmer. To this he strenuously objected, and was supported by his son and by his daughter, almost silently however by the latter. Indeed, ever since my inexplicable conduct she had appeared fearful of entering into any conversation with me, except udou indifferent subjects. Had she. too, interrogated her heart! Had she discovered that

she had been cherishing an unsofisticated fondness? yet when 1 saw her, beautiful as ever, my old feelWas she aware that if even her affections were re- ingsfora moment recurring in full force, as I hasturned, there was a mystery which prevented the tened towards her, ejaculating her name and at the

l 1 -a . . - declaration ot my passion, and that encouraging her ! scarcely cognizable sentiments of love might lead to ! tllc destruction of her happiness for ever.' I knew not, and I dared not ask. I felt convinced she loved ! 'nc; for her voice, her manner proved it; but as I ! did not dare to claim her love, I was inexorable and I insisted on denartinir the next day. The old -en- ! tleman expressed his intention of accompanying me ! as far as Columbus, and the Doctor was deputed to ' send a carriage for us from that city. It was late when we retired to our several apartments, I will not say to rest. It was the last night ! that I was to pass beneath that roof with Catharine, ! a"d I prolonged our interview from hour to hour, un-! willing or unable to tear myself from her presence. I Iiad a thousand things to say, and yet I scarcely spoke to her. I was afraid I should say too much, and the deep, smothered sigh, which ever and anon i broke on my ear, told me too plainly what were her ,i I reflections.1 'Come, Kate,' said the old gentleman in the morning, as the carriage stood waiting at the door, 'suppose you go with us to Columbus.1 You seem in low spirits the ride will do you good.' She did not object, but was soon ready, and bidding adieu for ever to the humble cattage where, ! spite of pain and sickness, I had spent so many a happy hour, we departed. The silence f our ride was only broken occasionally by the old gentleman, who himself seemed not unaffected at our parting. Indeed, though short, J so close had been our intimacy, it would have been strange it under any circumstances it had not ap- j peared like losing one of the family; and moreover, j no must liave oeen blind indeed if he had not, tho' J 10 late discovered how much he had endangered ! the happiness of his daughter by his hospitality. ! departure till the following morning.

The old gentleman, who saw in a general sense how matters stood, and hoped that an uninterrupted ! !. ii. - . i-ii interview micrht lead to a connexion to which he was not averse, and on which perhaps his daughter's peace entirely depended, left us a great part of the time alone; and it was not till after midnight that he advised me to seek the necessary rest to fit me for the morrow's journey. It was only then that I considered it safe to offer Catharine a "trifling token of remembrance. 3 Will you,' said I, permit me to present you with this ring! and will you wear it to remember one who often will recall to mind the hours of happiness he passed with you who never can forget your kindness and the debt of gratitude he owes you.' It was well for me that the old gentleman was present, for I was growing sentimental, and Catha-

ate flood of tears, and if her father had not led her hastily from the room, I very believe the would have thrown herself upon my neck, and then why then I should have been saved the trouble of a journey. I retired to my apartment -I walked the room, irresolute as to the course I should pursue. Should I explain to Catharine the situation in which I was placed with respect to Julia that I was engaged to her, yet could not fulfil my engagement without the utter sacrifice of my future happiness At length, unable to come to any positive conclusion, I extinguished my light and threw myself, without disrobing on the bed. Exhausted by my previous illness and loss of rest, I fell into a feverish doze. Again I was astride my gallant steed and buffeting the tempest. Once more I sat with Catharine before the little parlor fire, drinking with greedy ear the melody of her rich voice, her eyes beaming on me with though they almost choked roe, I restrained them. A change came o'er the spirit of my dream,' and Julia stood before me, cold and calm and innocent as when I saw her last. I went towards her, but a languid smile was all the welcome that she gave me, as she raised her eyes to mine. And still my dream went on. We stood before the altar, she leaned upon my arm, her hand fast pressed in mine, but even then my thoughts reverted to Catharine. All things grew dim before me, a deadly sense of suffocation stole upon me. The fatal words commenced I heard a murmuring sound, but nothing clearly. Suddenly a shriek came ringing through the spacious edifice. I started up again that shriek, it was no dream, another and another cry succeeded to the first. In an instant I had thrown open the door of my apartment. God of Heaven! volumes of flame and smoke forbade my progress. I flew to the window and raised it, out rushed the suffocating mass and for an instant my path was plain. I hastened to the passage, I heeded not my danger, my thought? were all for Catharine. 'This way!' I cried, as I burst open the first door I saw, and Catharine rushed towards me. 'Save me!' she shrieked, 'dear Harry, save me.' 'This way!' I repeated, as I partly led and partly bore her to the door where I had entered. My foot was on the upper 6tep, down sank the glowing, crackling mass i before me. Hack to her room I bore her, and sense- t less as she was 1 laid her on her couch and cried J for help. I threw open a window, but the crowd j whose hundred voices I could heard below, directed ! no attention to tho window where I stood. With ! difficulty I recovered Catharine. 'Harry,' she said, 'dear Harry, do not leave me!' 'Never!' I cried, as I led her to the open window; 'this is no time for concealment. Fate has joined us in this hour of peril, perhaps to die together, but never to part. Catharine, I love you! At this instant the flames again ascended and rushed into the apartment. She threw her arms about my neck, 'Yours! yours!' she cried, 'in life or death, yours only!' A shout went up to Heaven we had been seen; .1 A. I - -il 1 1 -. 1 ,.K,,ll,.rt.,.-k -..

ACT It was at length determined, however, that I should continue my journey to New-York, should cancel my engagement with Julia, and then return to claim mv bride. You will easily believe, that as I approached my home, the awkward situation in which I was plac- j ed became more and more apparent. I had rcsolved to deal candidly with Julia, although I was ; aware, at least so said my vanity, that it would he no easy task to persuade her that it was all right and proper wc should part. On my arrival, as I make it a rule to get through with an unpleasant duty as soon as possible, l lost no time in calling on her. I certainly had loved Julia, though now passionately attached to another; ; s'a moment extending my nana 10 ucr. i uero was that dream-like smile upon her lip, as partly rising and without accepting my hand, she hoped, she said, I had recovered from my fall then, wilhout waiting for my reply, she continued; a 1 I 1 1 - -. 'Allow me, Mr. Jlason, to make acquainted with lr Simon Shunk Mr. Shunk, Mr. -Mason, an acquaintance of my childhood.' cYes followed the direction of hers, and rested on the miniature edition of a man, his body forming a most perfect curve, his right hand on his breast, aml the heel of his right boot pressed hard against the toe of his left. This interesting ceremony over, vve became seated, and Mr. Simon Shunk, finding nimseit tnrown ratuer in tne snaoe, :n a short time retired. j 'Julia,' said I when he was gone, 'who is that fcl- i lowr 1 should think,' she replied, 'that his being tound i : u : i .ii- . .!. i in una nouse eniuiea mm to me epuiiei oi jrcuuo- j man, at least irom JVlr.

She did not smile, but she did not look displeased, as she replied, 'I have been but very little in society since you departed. I found it did not suit me; and j as 1 happened to become acquainted with Miss : Shunk, who introduced her brother to me, we three ! have become almost inseparable companions.' 'And how,' interrupted I, 'do you suppose I will be pleased with this arrar: uent!' 'Oh,' answered she, 'I beg you will not enter on ; this subject to-day.

I did not wait for evening to visit Julia; but before I waited on her I wrote two lined to Mr. Mailland, to desire him to meet mo in Columbus on a certain day no very distant one with Catharine. I plagued Julia for a little while by insisting on tho performance of our contract; but at last I assured her she had made me the happiest of men, and explained every thing to hei at which, to rny surprise, she evinced no mortification, but expressed her sorrow that her scheme of a marriage between her dear Martha and myself was thus destroyed. I soon joined my friends in Columbus a few days after Catharine became my wife, and 1 have never had cause to regret my adventures in the forest of Ohio. And Julia is now the happy Mrs, Simon Shunk."
