I have a bird-a lovely bird, With saffron color'd wings, And when the blessed morning breaks, Ah, me ! how sweet it sings! He perches op the window, where It looks upon the sea, And oh ! his every note is soft As melody can be. I have a tree-a scented tree, Brought from far southren bowers; And every month it bears for me A coronal of flowers. Though fragile be that wreath it weaves, And soon its bloom be past, 'Tis sweet to watch the opening leaves, And love them while they last. I have a lute-a deep toned lute, With chords of magic thrill; And-wea at night the birds are mute, And winds and waves are still, ( ogstim s eii by daylight's hour,) It sings, or seems to sing Such wild sad strains, I've almost thought An angel tonch'd its string. I have a braid-a silken braid Of softest flaxen hair, With clasp, which part of gold is made, And part ajewel rare. They say the gold is thrice refined, And costlier far the gem, And yet the simple lock they bind, I value more than them. And I have-ah, me !-how little priz'd Of all my cherished things Hid in my bosom's deepest nook, A heart of passion's strings. I have-no, no, I have it not it once was in that cell- But now I fear, 'tis flown away, Whither-I may not tell. ! LOVE AND COURAGE. The shores of the Mediterranean. in what is called the Gulf of Genes, are covered with little towns, such as the Savone, Noli. Feuale, Albengue and Oneille, which, though formerly repub lics, have preserved something of the virtues necessary to a democratic gov ernment and something of that spirit of independence which attaches a people to its manners, customs and privileges. Oneille, above all the other fortified places of that locality, has brave inhab itants, of a bold character, faithful, and at the same time obstinate. Oneille is the birth-place of excellent seamen and of merchants as active as talented. The neighboring country is covered with olives, from which is obtained the best oil-the riches of the land. One of its richest proprietors, Matteo Pedamonte, in 1830, at the time of the visit -fDseeter .---, was o. point of marriage. The doctor had in troductions to Matteo, whom he found in the midst of his nuptial preparations, and he was about withdrawing, when the young man insisted that he should become his guest, that he should take up his quarters in his house, and even that the doctor should fill the place of his father in the ceremony which was to take placq on the morrow. "I am an orphan," said he; "I have no relations, and since chance has sent you hither and we are united by the ties of hospitality, fill the office of the .dearest of friends-accompany me to the altar." This Matteo was a handsome bache lor of twenty-five years of age, dark complexion, a bold aspect. and whose whole person. at the time he received the doctor, betokened contentment and joy. "Monsieur," said the doctor, " you have great love for your affianced one." "Ak! yes. It is a marriage of pure love; she has nothing but that which passes all riches and which all the gold in the world cannot give-beauty, grace and that charming manner which in toxicates. I feared I never should win her." How! you are rich and handsome, and yet you despaired ?" " It was," replied Matteo, "because but you do not-there was-" And Matteo stopped, muttered some thin and left what he had to say un said. The doctor did not push his question. He accepted the use of a chamber con tiguous to that of his host, dined tete-a tets with Matteo, and saw him immedi ately run away to the residence of his betrothed. At 10 o'clock in the even ia~ th. young man returned home, pas dW rapidly through his room and preo seaed himself before the doctor, who had nao t retired to bed. Matteo was paleand dotrened. " What is tie matters my friend'" de maastd the doctor; "is your marriage broken off!' "No, monsieur no." "H.s a quarre.taken place between yoeu sud the relatives of the girl?n "Noee whatever, monsieur-none wbsatver. It is thus--but, good Hea. venal I cannot conceive-' "Spk out, my fribod; although we j3pveoews each other scarcely for a mome , sface I am to be the witness ofdfrfumsirisagq, I have a right to your "'That is just the thing," said Matteo, squeesatg the hand of the Doctor. "I was this evening, as you know, at the sidme of Mai s hbi-that is the uae stit i mother of her llove--there .lim J mot herrelalve, h .rfi l o ., to n, in fact ?ua1 kdmelsntto gaither mother's ai tl obk , brssops the regards of -asttro m, ed ar oaen to is Jt a eneTrom mm6; ald # was uaW1e fo rejoin her. What do you think of it, monsieur: a young and modest girl, and timid, too, to steal away from her mother this night, to come and join me here at midnight-me, whom she is to marry to-morrow! What is concealed under such a mystery and project?" "She loves you?" demanded the doctor. '"As ardently as I lore her; she has vowed it to me a thousand times." "Be tranquil, then, my friend; it is nothing-some confidence of a young maid, who already has more trust in you than in her own mother." "No, no!" exclaimed Matteo, "there is some storm about to burst-some fatal secret which will hinder our marriage; but let me die a thousand deaths rather than not marry Louisa." Matteo threw himself into a fantenil and fell into a profound mrery. The doctor's position was a painful one. But recently arrived in the country, compelled by the whim of a young man to take part in a marriage near at hand, ignorant of the customs of the country, and the persons and relations of the two families, he feared to put any more questions, and yet he had a confused notion that the happiness of his host was compromised. Twenty minutes passed, and Matteo shook off his leth argy. " Doctor," said he, rising. "you are a friend sent to me by Providence, you then shall be my guide and counsel. Place yourself there against those hangings; they do not cover a wall, but merely a wooden partition put up to make two room out of one, my chamber and yours. You shall over hear all-you shall know what power ful motive forces Louisa to take a step so singular. Make no noise, I will go and meet her." At Oneille every body retired at an early hour; there midnight was truly the middle of the night; it was ,n hour which found every one asleep and the streets deserted. Louisa Balbi had well chosen her time: she arrived before the appointed moment. The doctor heard the hurried steps of the two young people, and their fast words broken with questions and sighs. " You are astonished, Matteo." said Louisa: "you ask why I come to your residence in the dead of the night, like a foolish or guilty young girl ? It is because I love you. Matteo, and be cause I may not marry you." At this declaration Matteo uttered a piercing cry. "No!" replied Louisa. wiillv: "I do not wishkto marry yno. I must shun you, you must leave us: and my heart would have broken if another had forced this fatal separation upon you, if I had not been able to tell you that it is because I love you that I refuse my hand." Matteo furious walked the apart ment with hurried steps: his tongue re fused to express the diverse sensations which oppressed him. The young girl drew him near to her. " We were children who loved each other, and who because we were full of love, believed there was nothing but love in the world, whilst another age and other interest have other passions. Do you remember your father, Matteo, and mine-your fortune and ours ?'" "Well--well!" said Matteo, with precipitation. "Well, my love." replied Louisa, "those beautiful olive plains" which have made your riches, once belonged to my father. They should have been my marriage portion; they formed part of my mother's fortune, and should have been the patrimony of my brother Guiseppe." l'Yes, Louisa," replied Matteo, "those lands once belonged to you, but your father became indebted to mine far be yond their value; and if they have be come our property, it is because my father took them as a compensation very much below what was due to him." "I know it, Matteo. but every thing connected with that debt was a wound to my mother's feelings-the debt it self and the manner in which it was paid. And that was not all, Matteo; there is blood between our families and what blood! Good Heaven ! that of my father!" " You are right, Louisa ; but-" "Yes, yes!" exclaimed the young girl, almost frantic: " a woman-a mis tress beloved by both! They fought, and your father killed mine ! So, see the motives of the hatred that sepa rates us; the mother and the children ruined by a gambling debt-the mother deprived of a husband whom she adored, notwithstanding his misconduct-the children made orphans !" "I know all that, Louisa, as well as the fact, that from the first moment that I saw your pretty face when your lovely eyes entranced me, that I at once des paired of winning your love; but at last I softened your mother. She took pity upon your love and mine, and my fortune will again become yours. I cannot render her back a husband, but she will have a son the more." ' "Yesa" replied Louisa, "I was brought p to hate you-to curse your name; .ad from the moment that we loved one another, I foresaw, as you did, that our loves would be unfortunate. What was my astonishment then, when I saw my mother approve them. I then thought that her heart had been soften ed, and that she accepted the rpara. tion you offered her . Why not. It was not youea that killed my father! It wasnot you that ruined aus! In what an error have we fallen ! Graod Dies.! Wethought that hatred could be e tiwgeished-that the desire ef- ven geaaoe eaoldbe allayed! ~Imis Mat tea, that msy metherhatesyes as far as te i t death! that she continues to regard you as the offspring of aman whose memory she curses! Know that if my brother Guiseppe has not de manded of you twenty times an ac count of the blood alreadi· spilled, it was not want of courage, but because my mother threw herself at his feet. She knew that you were strong and skilful, and she feared to lose a son as she had lost a husband, whilst she looked for a sure and safe vengeance! That vengeance you are yourselfabout to offer; you are on the point of throw ing yourself into the arms of those who will surely destroy you! To-morrow you are to marry me, from that moment your life will no longer belong to you; it will fall into hands which, drop by drop, will pour into it the poison that will kill it. At first they strove to make me an accomplice, for they thought that I also thirsted for ven geance; but they soon learned that I had more of love than filial pity; they avoided me, but I discovered all; their criminal joy could not be kept within bounds, and, thank Heaven, I know all. They believe their vengeance sure and without danger. After so long a pe riod. who will accuse them of working against the life of a son-in-law? Fly, then, Matteo; enter not a house in which you will find death; abandon a homicidal betrothal. Fly! leave me to go alone to the altar to-morrow !"' "Shall I fly ?" exclaimed Metteo, " shall I abandon you and leave you in the hands of these poisoners ?" "They shall know nothing; they believe that I am asleep within my own little chamber ; I shall return with as much secresy as I left. They are far from even suspecting me; they do not know that I lave learnt their se cret." 'Eh bien ! I am to fly, Louisa, but with you. Louisa, I will never leave you." "Oh! no," replied the young girl with resolution. "I will never abandon her. It is enough that I have betrayed her." A long silence followed: for some time the doctor listened in vain : at last Matteo's voice was heard. I- will fly," said he. The young girl kissed the forehead of her betrothed, and they both left the apartment. When Matteo returned, the doctor joined him. "'My friend," said the latter, "I hope you will follow the advice of a young girl who loves you to such a point as to beg you not to finish nup tials that she herself calls homicidal." "How I wish,' replied Matteo, "that you had seen her; how beautiful she was. But, doctor, you heard the velvet softness of her voice ?" " It is necessary that you should make preparations for your departure," said the doctor. "the hospitality that you have shown me. I will repay in a few days. I will not leave you: you shall come with me to Paris, and there I will endeavor to make you forget this cruel adventure." Matteo replied by undressing him self and retiring to bed. " Good eve ning doctor," said he. "good night.~? And hardly was his head upon the pillow. ere he slept profoundly. This physiological phenomenon oc cupied the doctor;s attention for some time. " A lover," said he. "whose life and love are both menaced !" Then as he was neithe, in love nor in danger of being poisoned, and as he was fatigued with his journey, he passed into his chamber and was not long in meditating matters. The next day, at early dawn, all the bells in the town were ringing for the marriage of Matteo. He rose, dressed himself in his wedding garments, and entered the chamber of the doctor. He is truly in love, thought the doc tor, he wishes to marry her whom he loves: he is right, For myself, I know what I have to do: I will carry them both off immediately after the cere mony, and will make them pass their honeymoon in Paris. He gave private directions to his servant to have ready his chaise de poste and to order relays, and he then fol lowed the bridegroom. They went di rectly to the Cathedral of Oneille, al ready filled with people, curious to wit ness a marriage which was about to unite two families that had been sepa rated by fifteen or twenty years of hatred. They recalled Balbi's ruin, his deqth, the grief of the widow, the victory of Pedamonte, and then his son fell under their censure. ':Why," they said, "why does he come so near to his enemies-why stir up bloody ashes in the hope of offering impossible reparation ?" In all this the populace of Oneille followed in the old ways of Italian ven geance, which sleeps, but never dies. Some thought that at the moment of binding himself as he was about doing, that Matteo would recoil, and that the young Louisa, though her head al ready felt the marriage crown, would vainly look for her husband at the al. tar. "No, no," replied the friends of the young man, "he will come and he will marry her, though he should have to cut his way through a wall of fire." These persons knew Matteo well, and at the very moment that Louisa, near her mother and already kneeling upon the steps of the altar, offered up pray ers that the young man had already quitted Oneille, Matteo appeared upon the threshold of the church, his face radiant with joy and aompanied by Doctor L-, whose careful visage cgp treasted strongly with the joyous oof'n tenanoe of the bridegroom. The cere mony was not long, and scarcely was it finished, ere the marriage party was on its e*y to Matteo's residence, where a splendid breakfast had been prepared. Lousa, pale and mistrustful, lIeked as it she was walking to an execution.- The doctor was watching for a favora ble moment when he could approach the husband to hasten a departure deemed indispensable. Matteo ap proached him: " Doctor," said he, "go and take up your hiding place of yesterday; you know the beginning of the story, you most know the end." The astonished doctor obeyed, but this time he made such arrangements as enabled him to see as well as hear. Scarcely had he taken up his position, ere Matteo entered his chamber, fol lowed by his new mother and brother -daw. Guiseppe had a common face without expression, and dlid not appear to be a very formidable adversary; but the Signora Balbi, with her great height -n ' brilliant eyes, her eagle nose and thin lips, presented a striking contrast to her son, and was, in fact, the only enemy to be combatted. The doctor read in her face stratagem, dissim ulation, covert and patient hatred, and in the arched contour of her mouth, the ferocious joy of a vindictive woman who has at last ensnared her prey. Matteo, as soon as he was alone with these two persons, threw himself into the arms of the Signora Balbi, kissed her wrindled forehead and said: "Oh, my mother, how great is my happiness! To you I owe the only joy I have ever wished-Louisa, your daughter, who now is mine only! Oh, a thousand blessings upon you, my own mother! You forgot your hatred for a time, that I might be thus happy! I shall enjoy it but a little while I know, but what matters it! I am one of those who would give an age for one day of happiness and of love!" " What is it you say ?" exclaimed the Signora, endeavoring to escape the em brace of her son-in-law. "You have your wrongs to revenge," replied Matteo, "the blood of your hus band cries out against me; you wish to poison me!" " Who says it? Matteo, who has told you so?" exclaimed the Signora Balbi, pushing the young man away. SYes," quietly replied Matteo, "your lost fortune, your slain husband, all ex act my death at your hands. I know it. and I give myself up; so much do I love Louisa! Another would have fled -I stay; I prefer death to exile! I wish to die under the shade of my beautiful olives, surrounded by the per fume of my orange trees. Here, my mother, is the disposition of my pro perty; it will belong to Louisa, you will enjoy it with her. And here is a sure poison, not too painful, and which leaves no external trace of its existence! Take it, but allow me eight days, only eight days of life and health! At the expiration of that time you may over whelm your daughter with grief, such as you yourself experienced. Young and beautiful as she is, you may then rob her of her husband." At these words two springs of tears filled the eyes of the mother-in-law: she threw herself towards Matteo, took the vial of poison which he presented to her and broke it: she seized the will and tore it into pieces. It was then that she threw her arms around Matteo, and covered him with kisses. "Let us forget the dead," said she, " you are my son." He is saved, thought the doctor. The door of the chamber opened. It was Louisa, pale and trembling, come to seek out her husband. Her mother hastened towards her, and pressing her hand, said to her with an expression that Italian souls only know how to give to their words: "He has just taken thee, and I give thee to him!" The nuptials finished gaily, the doc tor made a memorandum of the day in his journal, and at this day they talk at Oneille of the unalterable friendship of the mother and son-in-law.
