LIZZIE MORAN.
Or llkpl*cd iJLction-
BY J. D. T. 1
Among the hilly regions of the Patux
ent stands a Finall white house, of unpre
tending appearance. It is situated on a
high sugar-loaf knoll, surrounded on three
sides by a narrow valley or ravine, backed
by high bills; (which .teems as if it had
been intended by nature as the strong-hold
of some feudal-chief, of those past ages, of
which we read to much, hut know to lit
tle,) on the fourth, or west tide, extends
a narrow plain, of a few acres in extent,
which contains the garden—decorated in
summer with a variety bf choice and beau
tiful flowers, and, in winter, the r< pository '
of Tgotables for the usi and sustenance of
the family; the remainder is planted out
with young and vigorous apple-trees—the
whole forming a ptet and beautiful
appearance. This is the residence of Aaron
Muran, a gentleman in reduced circum
stances, who lives here in private scclu.-ion
with his family, and seems to havo centred
all the affection that he once lx stowed up
on the world and its pleasures, on his
beautiful daughters, the eldest of whom is
the peerless Lizzie. My pen fails to de
scribe the matchless beatpy of the sylph-’
like form and lovely face. Endowed with
rare talents that have been well cultiva
ted, graceful and uprightly manners, with
a modest and pleasing address, she wins
the respect of stringers and the love, and ;
admiration of her friends and acquaintan
ces.
3lr. Moran had not always lived in his
present seclusion or reduced circumstan
ces. In early life he possessed an ample
fortune, but like too many, thinking there
could be no end to his fortune, he never
denied himself or his family a pleasure or’
gratification that could be procured. There !
was always room and welcome at his hos
pitable board fur his fiends and neigh
bors. Thus was an ample fortune squan
dered in pleasure and extravagance, and
he and his family left to their own exer
tions for a support.
In the same neighborhood lived Muses
Allen, who, by industry* and economy,
had raised himself from a small liegining j
to affluence. These two men, with char- ;
actirs so different, were in early life warm
Uiemis. IV kiln. thmjhrunT was, living in.
luxury and wasting hw fortune in pleasure 1
and extravagance, the latter was living
within the strictest economy, and by in
dustry and perseverance, was increasing
in wealth and importance. Their fami
lies were on th£ most intimate term*, as
sociating together with all the freedom of:
the most intimate friendship.
The eldest son of Mr. Allen, whose,
name is Wilfred, was two years older than j
Lizzie. lie was always her playmate and j
champion, protecting her from every in-;
suit, and comforting her in all her trou-!
Idea, II e culled her his little wife, and
she was proud f her yeung protector and
companion, and as tin y grew in years I
their lave increased wish their growth, un
til their childish love inercstd to the affec-1
lion of mure mature years.
Thus were their In arts united by the
purest love, when the day arrived on
which Wilfred was t# leave liis homo fir
college, to enter upon the studies which,
he told her, was to fit him to take his
place among the lords of creation, and
she willingly piomi-od that her hand
should he the piize to his success.
He spent l.is vacations at home, when
he was always received with a smile and
a sincere welcome by Luxe. Mo heart,
heat quicker at the wand tf his foot-f.dl, i
or check mantle with n blu.-h that could
not he concealed at the tom* of his voice—
and there was no prayer breathed to heav
en with more sincerity for his success and
happiness, than hers. At every vacation, 1
when he would return home, all his young
friend*, of both sexes, were invited by his
parents to meet him, and the reunion was
celebrated by a dance. At these reunion*,
there were none who could competo with
his young and beautiful playmate. She
was always his partner i the dance. It
was into her car that he whispered words
of love and admiration, and renewed again
anti again those vows and promises that
had been uttered at their last porting, and
she would listen, with a smile of pleasure,
to his words of eonSdence and vows of
eternal fidelity to her, until her lave fur
him seemed n part of her being. No hope
breathed but he wag to be the recipient of
its benefits, and every dream for the future
was interwoven with his fate; but all this
love was to be cruskftd—all this confidence
broken. Some friend had whispered to
him dreams of ambEtion and wealth, and
to accomplish these, he must bury all his
boyish love, break all his early vows and
promises, and woo and win some wealthy
dame to share with him his ambitious aspi
rations and peijured heart. About this
time he began to talk of studying some
prfion for the purpose of accocnpli-h
--ing his ambitious schcim s; for ho thought
within himself that., as a professional gen
tleman with his father's wealth in pros
pective, that he wotld readily he received
in the so<iey of the wealthy, and le eon
aid* red an equal.
IK never met Lizzie M r~U .aw U
i
eept by accident, and then he always ap
peared distant and ill at ease. By such
manifestations she first began to under
stand that he no longer looked upon her
with the wonted affection, or treated bur
s his betrothed— and who cun toll the
anguish of the awakening fnpfcbcr dream
of love and confidence, to mErihe objec:
unworthy of thji trae affection which shr
