THE HOPELESS LOVER: Or, the Wanderer’s Tale. It was a fine October day. I was rambling in the upper wards of the city. it was some- time since I had been in New York before. I bad just arrived in the United States after a long voyage. Many things were new to me, and in pursuing my investigations I at length reached the suburbs of the city. aes down a street to the verge of the Hudson river. In this street there was nota le house. The grass had overgrown every spot, and the curbstone was almost hidden by the tall weeds. The street had been laid out, the curbstone put up, and then deserted. No- body had built upon it, and looking aboat me Tcould not see a single pedestrian in any art of it. The grasshoppers and the butter- ies were perfectly at home in this region, where nature had triumphed over art and suc- cessfully wrested back a portion of her empire which the latter hai stolen from her. The sun shone brightly upon the waters of the Hudson, and now and then asloop came lazily down the tide, her big boom creaking as the hands pushed it about to woo the breeze. Hoboken, Weehawken, and Yonkers were visible from the spot where I stood, and many a dwelling peeped out from behind the folinge on the other side of the silvery stream. Having taken a brief eurvey of the beauties which were presented on every side, 1 reclined upon the long grass, and listened to the wave- lets below as they came up with ceaseless dash against the white strand. The occasion was favorable to reflection. I thought upon the causes that had made me a wanderer over the world for the last dozen years—that had broken off my association with the friends of wy childhood and youth, and rendered me almost an alien in the land of my birth. Keen was the eo ree that had dimmed in my eyes all the lustre of wealth and worldly honors, induced me to abandon the most promising situations, and turning my back upon offered preferments, seek amid the surges of ocean and the boisterous, thonght- less “ nurslings of the storm’’ oblivion of the one mighty woe of my life. It was quite im- material to me what the grocer, the buteher, and the baker might say to me of my “‘choice of a profession,”’ I wanted no profession—I wanted no money. I wrote a hasty note to my parents, and flung myself on board a shi bound to Canton. Since then blue waters hal been my home, and I had resolved to end my days an obscure, unknown, penniless wan- derer of the deep. I cared for nobody now, and nobody cared for me, and as I lay along the banks of the Hudson with the grass and wild flowers tossing and waving around me, I felt that I hed but little indeed todo with the world. At length hearing some voices below, on the margin of the river, I rose up and looked about me for a place, in which I could escape observation. Over a stone fence was a pile of fallen masonry, large stones and pillars, part- y hidden by the weeds and creeping vines. cleared the fence at a bound, and was soon wandering over what seemed to be the ruins of a large mansion Isat down upon a green bank and endea- vored to resumed the thread of my reflections. That was not se easy; though the subject re- turned, yet the same feelings of pensive sad- ness did not envelope it as they had done before, like the golden clouds of sunset, gild ing the rocky peaks of the wessern mountains The harsh facts of my early experience stood out unrelieved by the murmuring sympathies of the silver flood and the winged visitants of the flowers. I shifted my position more than once, until, getting behind the withered trunk of an im- mense tree, my eyes alighted upon a portion of a flat stone embedded im the earth, not three inches from the surface. [ dug away the earth with asbarp stick. and lifted the stone listlessly and without much expectation of finding anything ; but when the stone was fairly removed, I discovered a piece of strong brown paper. Un removing the dirt from around this, I was soon enabled to draw out of the earth a package carefully tied with strong twine. Looking about me too see that I was not the subject of observation, I speedily cut loose the fastenings, and opened the package. It Was a bundle of letters. I was a little disap- apne but when I opened the letters and egan to read, my interest was fearfully ex- cited. There could be no mistake; these letters were in the handwriting of Maury Myers, the beautiful, the amiable and fascin- ating object of my early love! They were addressed to E—— L——, the rival—the fa- vored rival, (as I suppose,) on whose account Thad become astranger in the land of my fathers As I read, my astonishment increased. These letters, written by Mary Myers, did not express love for E—— L—. They were mere testimonials cf friendship. What could that mean? [had always understood that E—— L——, was the lover of Miss Myers, and that she returned his affection ! But what have we here? Another letter, and written on different paper. I open it—I read. Here are the contents: ‘Sir—Yours of Saturday is before me. I must say that the friendship which I per- mitted you to express for me, has lived out its day, and we must be strangers to each other. You did not believe me when [ said that yoar rofessions of friendship could not take a eeper tone without offending me. Did you hot know that I loved already—that I never can love again, and that Eugene B—— pos- sesses my whole heart.’’ The lines swam before my eyes, the blood gushed to my brain and then went ina tu- multto my heart. A dreadful sickness seized me and I fell prone upon the earth with the letter open in my hand. My mistake—my awful mistake was but too apparent. Twelve years had passed since I had heard @ syllable from Mary Myers. [ had never inquired about her—1 had avoided all persons who knew herand myself. It was not then true that she had encouraged another! Liars had told me the tale, and [had subse- wently soen E. L. walking with Miss Myers. hat was ‘confirmation strong as proofs of holy writ,”’ and I had fied from society, from } home, and from her whom I loved and who loved me, with despair and bitter resentment tugging at my heart. Twelve years had | passed, and by a miracle, as it seemed, Mary iyers was brought before me again, and proved innocent of the charge of inconsis- tency It was long before I could recover sufficient strength to stand upon my feet. I saw the sun go down in a cloudless sky, and yet I was unable to- leave the spot where I had found the letters. It was near midnight before I reached my boarding house, here was Mary Myers? This was the great question that sgitated me while on m: way home. ‘Twelve years had passed since T saw her, and yet she was constant, faithful, at the time I left New York, and embraced the life of acommon sailor, Had my imeognito been so well kept that even she, devoted as she was, could not discover me? [ had been on shore @t various ports, and spent weeks on the lend, yet she had not been able to find me. But would she make the attempt? Must she not have believed that I left the country on purpose to get rid of her? She knew no- thing of my jealousy, or that slander had been busy with her name, until I had been made to believe that she jilted me, and given her heartto E.L.

You will remember that when we wore first acquainted, you sometimes hinted a belief that I had been in love, and that I had come to sea on account of it, and you will recollect that I was always dumb on the sub- ject—that I never gave you the least satisfac- tion.”’ “ Yes,” said Greene, almost in» whisper “But now,’’ I continued, “now I can tell ‘ou the truth.

Dr Plumer, late of this city During a visit to the Hot S; rings, on acer- tain occasion, he was invited by the company gathered there to preach for them on the Sab- bath. He consented. The ball room of the hotel was prepared for religious worship, and the audience assembled. The speaker an- nounced his text, and began his discourse; but was mortified to find that by some of the young- er 2nd more frivolous of his hearers, of sexes, the whole preformances was looked u; as a good joke, and to be treated sooordingly. Some were smiling, some were whispering, and unseemly levity prevailed throughout the congregation. For a few minutes he endeay- ored to withstand it by a simple presentation of the truth; but of no purpose. Stoppi Shortin his discourse, he at once arr their attention by the question: My friends do you know how these Hot Springs are said to have been discovered?

The old man took up the bucket, and went to the spring and dipy it in when some of the water dashed on his band and scalded him. Instantly dropping the bucket, he started for the wagon, ruuning and calling to his sonin the greatest consternation: “Trive on, Hans; trive on; Hell ish not far siren ace At this his audience burst out laughing—when immediate) sacerate 4 look of deepest solemnity and ioe pl voice to the lones that in him are Tike un- ders, he made the application, “1 tell you my friends, Hell is not far from this place.” There were no more smiles in that - tion that day.

Lasr Abmonirions To a Lazy Boy.—A late reverend clergyman, who was as well known for his eccentricity as his talents, one day sent his son, a lazy lad, about twelve years of age, to catch his horse. The boy went saunteri along, with an ear of corn in one hand, the bridle in the other; dragging the reinz on the ground. “Thomas’’’ said his father, calling after him in a solemn tone of voice—‘‘come here, Thomas; I want to say a word to you before you go.”’ The lad returned, and the parson “You know, Thomas, I have given yous great deal of good counsel. You know l’ve taught you, before closing your eyes, alwaye ta say, ‘ “Now I lay me down to sleep, &e ,”” besides @ good many other things in the way of exhortation and advice. But this is the last opportunity I shall ever have of ing to you, and £ coudn’t let it pass without giv- log you my parting advice. Be a good boy, Thomas, and always say that pretty prayer when you are going to sleep. I fear I shall never see you again.’ As he said this in a very grave and solemn manner, the poor boy began to be fright ‘and burst into tears with this exclamation : “ You'll never see me again, pa?” “No—for I shall die before you get back arth the horse!’ .. ‘This quickened Thomas's ideas ; and gath- ering up the bridle-reins, he ran and caught the horse sooner than he had ever done before. > A young lady in © 8.
