” MISCELLJiNr. T"1 From the Billow's Falls Intelligencer• «< Take ray counsel, ft Devote thy soul to any thing but Love.” There is no passion so active and pow erful, nor one that more enslaves its votary than love. It impart? when recprocaJ, the purest and most sublime joy—sheds its balmy influence on the care« ot mortal- j ity, and sweeten? the cup of human felici ty.* But “unrequited love,” conveys the most exquisite anguish, and involves its victim in the most inextricable labynnl i of misery and woe; and !i3S frequent y “ bleach’d joy’? rosy cheek for ever, ana strewed the snows ot age upon youth s au burn ringlets. . . Richard V****, was the son of an offi-! cer «ho fell at the memorable battle ol. Saratoga, leaving nothing to his orphan son hut that liberty which his sword had been drawn lo vindicate, and lor which be had offered his III* a sacrifice on “ tree dom’s holy altar.’* Richard early disco vered his penurious circumstances, and saw himself dependent solely on his indus try and enterprize tor his advancement in life. These he employed so assiduously, and with such success, that he was alrea <jv fast emerging from the cloud ot obscu rity in which poverty had enveloped him, when he became acquainted with the beau tiful Emelioe, and for a time was blessed with the sunshine ot her smiles. Her beauty and accomplishments were such, th.it a heart less suscepticMe ot fine and tender feelings than that of Richard’s might have felt,in her presence, the whole force ot female influence. His heart was in teed engaged—and he was happy in the delusive hope, that his affections had rest ed on a congenial sou!. Had Emeline s iieart been left free to its choice, she would undoubtedly, fixed upon him as the dear partner of her joys and sorrows ; tor be was “a man made in a proper mould ; one whom ladies sigh for. ’ 41 Mature had formed him with her utmost care, . With each attraction that should win the tarn ; His stature rose in strength and manlv grace, The ravs of geuius brightened in his ace.” But Emeline be’onged to one of those fa milies whom affluence had so highly elat ed th a th*»y looked w ith infinite contempt unon 1 hose, however worthy, whose em ptovment was so vulgar as that o* .actual jabour. Her parents no sooner discover ed her growing attachment to Richaid, than the latter was absolutely forbidden their house; and such was the effect of their arguments and authority on the mind o» Emeline, that '•he soon after wrote him that she “never more de-ired to cee him i This was too much; he could endure « The proud man’s contumely; The insolence of ortice, and the spurn* That patient merit ot the unworthy taker, with tolerable composure; hut to have bis affections tiifled with, his hopes blasted, the object •»» his love tom from bi Q so sud denly & unexpectedly, was mote than he was prepared tor, and be sunk umder the weight of the calamity. To relieve the inquietude that preyed Upon his mind, he drank deep of the cup of inebriety. ft Steep’d his drenched senses in the mad’ning bowl.** and sought to “ quench the fever of his grief’ in scenes ot intoxication, debauche ry and milnighf revelry. In con-equence ot which, he was soon reduced to a ^tate ot the most ahject and humiliating pover ty misery—and exhibited a living con ifirmatum of the assertion, that tt Falselv oar poets deck the barbarous ?od With roseate *»nc, with infant’s dimpling smiles ] With va.oton urls and -vingsof dovtuy gold— He dips his darts in poisonous aconite; The fiery venom rages in our veins, Infuses rage, and murderous cruelty.** In th'S state he could not long survive.; He f*»H a victim to th*- frowns of t' e tail — and his *>X't was calculated to awaken no , othpr emotion than a sigh of pitv, and the 8orri>wfuI exclamation of “Alas! poor era-! 2y Dick!” District of Columbia.
