and silent hour of the setting sun, when
the clustering clouds are painted in varie-
gated tints by the farewell smile of the
glorious luminary, as it was there that she
and Charles used to ruminate, with mingled
sensations Of joy, on scenes consecrated by
recollection and endeared by association.


At such an hour of holy repose, when
the last rays of light die away. when the
sun takes off his fiery diadem and deposits
it in casket of clouds; and when the
gladdened stars dance through ether-the
remembrance of him she loved-of times
for ever past! stole upon the sensibility Of
her soul, like strain of native music in a
strange cline, on the ear Of disconsolate
exile.


| Maria and child were watching intently
for view Of the vessel which was to re-
store to them their absent husband and
father. At length the boy raised his little
hands and joyfully exclaimed


"See, dear mother, see, the vessel comes,
and father will soon be here.'


The vessel neared, and approached the
hore. Maria stood upon the bank, wait
ing with glistening eye and throbbing heart,
the landing of her beloved Charles: but he
canle not. At length some one jumped on
sho re: her heart beat quick: but it was
only boatman. He delivered her let
ter: it bore black seal! She hastily tore
it o. pen and commenced reading. 1t told
her ALL. She read to the end-without
disc, overing any agitation, save that deadly
pale ness overspread her face--but when
she had finished, the letter dropped from
her hands, and uttering shrek, she fell to
the earth. A few hours restored her to
life, but not to reason: the iron had en-
tered her soul; and bid fair ere long to do
its work. She became mGnaic, and for
days and nights wandered to and fro about
the neighborhood, an object Of grief and
pity. But this did not last long; she was
soon missing, and though diligent search
was made, no trace of her could be dis
cover ed. When last seen, she was stray
ing b. ,side the river, and had most probably
perish ed in its waves.
