rie.KDicxio3r. A TALE. BV RICHARD PENN SMITH. In the year 1812, shortly af'er thede'iaration of war with Great Britain. I made an excursion, pnrtly on business, pnrlly of pleasure, into.ihat beautiful ni'd lomanfic section of Pennsylvania, which lies along it north extern boundary.

morning while pursuing my journey. 1 hear j sit a distance the sound of marlial music, which gradually bemme more distinct as I ascended the Blue Ridge, and wppmed to proceed from a humble vibnge. situated m the deep valley beneath, on the bank of the Delaware.

I descended the moun laiu by the circuitous pa:h, and rode up to the 11111 before which the crowd had gathered, hut they were all too busily engaged with their own teelmgs to notice Ihe arrival of a Ftranger. Wives were listening to the last n junctions of their husbands, the widowed mother to the voice ot Her valued son, the prop of her ueclinir.&r years, a;.,! mar.x a l.:.ahii maiden tenf her ear to the piotestations 'l eternal affection, which-tt that time minded tenfold sweeter as they flowed Irom the lips of ihe warlike lover. The shrill fife was playing, (he drum beating. ann amirl the jargon of voice?, the cor poral was heard swearing like a trooper, in order to keep up the dignity of his station. The little bandy legged drum mer beat with uncommon earnestness, it w is uncalled foi at the time, and I was at a loss lb account for hii making such a deafo'Mg noise, when I peiceivcd a shrew kish looking beldame at his elbow, whose shiill voice satisfied me that he would find comparative tranquility in the field of battle, to being within its appal ling influence. The tiler, out of com passion, lent the aid of his shrill music to relieve his friend from this last unpleasant lecture. Removed from the crowd, I observed a young man, an ollicer of (he corps, in conversation wiih a young woman, who did not strive to conceal her soricuv on Ihe occasion I eabh, beuty and inno cence were .ior,aly de-kted in her countenance, and her resi.e garb concealed a form, even thus decorated, fai more attraclive than many win move for a season the constellation f a ball room, and imagine they have attained the. ex tent of worldly ambition The younn man's face was animated, vet in the en thuBiam of the moment, he could not conceal the sadnes of his heart, while gazing on the lovely being standing in tears beside him; the order was given to march; he embraced her, imprinted a fervant kiss upon her pale forehead placed her in the arms of an aged woman who stood hard by, and hurried tb the ranks. The soldieis left the village fol lowed by a troop of little urchins, who were either pleased with the parade, or were desirous of prolonging (he melan . holy moment of separating from a parent or brother. The women remained in the street watching them as they slowly ascended the mountain path until they were out of ,ght, and then returned to their lonely cottages: one only lingered on the spot, ontit Hiq ast sound of the

I inauired of the ,inr ernin J the young woman ins, mentioned informed me that her name was Lucy . " .Jt .Mcu.mm poor widow, . r- nau neen m nn-re prosperous cir, IIntances: that she had opii iieirouien io Hugh Cameron, the young god:er. Irom their childhood, and that their nopfials were to have been celebrated in a few weeks, but as lie was draughted for the fiontieis, prudence obliged them to po-fpore the r-rt-m-nv until Ihe campaign should be nep. Mine host was iis loquacions as most village landlords, and as he was familiar with the life, birth and parentage of every individual in the village, it was not 10115 "1'iore 1 received a full account of iof , og omcer, who, t0 U5e the narra lor own words, -had Sa.ed the tro-d 1 o- . will of all the erv beads ,i ot all the gov heads and rrreen hearts on that side of the Blue loun tain. r;'..u r , , iron iih intancy by Ins grandmother, who was a na ive of the Highlands of .-cntland, and whose mind was strongly imbued with the numerous superstitionof the uneducated of her country. He wa the child of h"r only daughter, who had fallen a victim to unlimited confitk'ence in him she loved, and finally ex piated her offence by a broken hertri. Hugh soon learr.i the historv of hi mo ther's shame linm his playmates who upon the slightest offence would remind him ot it, 1,1 derision, for man appears oetermmed most rigorously to adhere to the law, as laid down in Deuteronomy, wheie it is written, that ihe unfortunate in hirth, "ev.n In his tenth generation, -hall uot enter into the congelation of Ihe Lord." I he taunts of his rchncdnmtes preyed upon the onnd of the boy; he avoided 1 herb, and sought -eclusmn. What time, was allowed far study, was passed in the deepest recesses vf "the mountain, or on the giddy precipice, where the eagle made his eyry. Often was he seen by the astonished villager, appaiently hang ing 111 mid air, by some projecting rock, hitherto untrodden by mortal foot, shouting with joy at the affiigh'ed birds of piey, as they nildly dashed in circling fligh's around his head. They had no thing to fear from the approach of the daring boy. for his was not a heart, vsautonlv to inflict a wound upon the hum blest of God's creatines. His feeliue's weie acute, and b.B imagination vivid. For hours he would listen to the tales of his grandmother, of warlock, witchcraft omens and prognostics of death. With her, not a breei; agitated the woods r,r t e r.vei ; not a drop of rain fell, nor an mecl moved, but for a fpecial purpose. He never became weary of listening to her, nr she of relating, the wonderlol legend with which her mind was stored. The village schoolmaster was. ;,ho every way calculated to cive a 1 resbr,a of colouring to the rude, narratives of ihe old crone, and increase their, fascination with Ihe semblance of reality. He had lived long and seen much of the world: a Hungarian, a tiiMcicAl scholar and fond of that lore which U,o frequently destroys the worldly hopes, and enervates the mind of t'ne pSSP0,. je ,ed or lhrift. less vc.te until his mind sickened at the realises Gf l,fe. His reading had been various and profound, but that which wa speculative and visionary, posseted more harms for his mind, than that which partook of earthly mailer. He was an accomplished musician, and many a lime at midnight was Lis solitary tlute heard in the deep lecess; of ihe mountain, and on the surface of the river He was an insulated man, nnd imagin ed no eartfcly being possessed a feeling in unison with his own. When he (lis covered the wihluess and delicale tex lure of his pupil's mind, they became

almost inseparable companions. The,"biunk from (he sight that presented ityoulh improved rapidly uudet his euid 'self.

ante, not only in literature and music. hot in the facility of creating theorres. which, at the time they expanded and enlarged his mind, involved it in an ocean td d.lhculty and doubt, without atompa to guide it to a haven. W-ith years Ihe feeling, r,f the youth became moie sensibly alive to (he charms of "afire. For hours U W01llf, con template the rolling ,iVPr, MM, succeeded wave, the nuDtrarUn would discover some analogy ,0 human life, which served to illustrate his visionary theories. The hollow mmmnf ih. rJ Ht m.dn.gh,, which foretold the coming storm, w as music io their ears, and tho-e hou.s which the wearied villagers devot td to repose, were passed by the obi man and hi pupil in gazing at the stars.

He struck his cane if-VO the earth, and added: " Remember ih spot, Huh Cameron; here let my head Ire. Come my last request 19 rjaade.y' He left his stick where he had plr.nted it, and they returned in silence' to the" village When they came in f,om of Hugh's cottage, they parted, "h was f parting under a full conviction ()f rr.teting no more in this woild. Fluch lime elapsed before Cameron cou' compose his irouhled rnind to sleep, nr.d whn finui ly exhausted, he elumberer ; , H slate of unconsciousnes. He ar.ise about two hours after ihe ?0n,and hurried toward the residence of his fViend. His heart felt like a lump of kj ,n bogom, as he discovered at a -jfisiaoce the shutter? of his chamber window bowed. The chamber was on the ground floor of the collage, and op-ened into a little flowergaidtn, the ci'.'uivatico of which was tht Hungarian's xhief delight. He was curi ous m flow Rnj had acquired the at: of varying il,eir colonrs by the application ot i.metals to the root Hugh cro?s ed the, garden, and with trembling hands pullefl oen the ehotters. He stood for a t.Otrtrnl t rnrtdf'i vcrl ... .fl. nnof 1 1,... On a broad board supported bv chair?. lay the mortal reninins of his friend, already clad io the garments of the grave. He silently closed the window, and on entering the hou-e, lenrned, that as the Hungarian had not appeared at his osual hour of riing the family had entered the room, apprehensive that he was ill, and discovered him lying in led, his body aheady stiff and cold. Upon a email table, near the head of the bed, a lamp was still burning, though broad day light, and his clenched hands still held his bible which tested upon his bosom; the book sun open at ihe page he was reading. Every circumstance proved that hi death as as ralm as the sleep of ihe spotless infant. He was buried in the place pointed out the preceding night, and all the villagers, from infancy to age, followed him in sorrow to the grave On examining his papers: hisvill was f.mad, io which he bequeathed bis little posscv
