HAPPINESS.

A TALE.

Franklin VVallnce. an intimate ac- quaintance and confidential friend of mine, has consented that I record unmi: passages of his eventful history, furthe instruction of others. especi- ally the young, who with high aims, bright hopes. and radiant prospects are pushing eagerly forward aftni‘ the possession ofunalloyed happiness.— And it is his sincere desire that

'Where. 0! where can real hap- piness be found!’ sighed he. as ap- parently in deep meditation he sat in hintudio, with books all around him. He was a bright, wliole-soulcd fel-

About this time Cupid, the god of love, smote him with darts,the pierc- ing of which caused a delicious cc- stacy to fill his bosom, and emotions peculiar and exquisite to thrill his every nerve. The world and every thing around looked new to him,lifc’s cup seemed ﬁlled with the sweetest ingredients. his daily musings and nightly dreams were rife with a sort of happiness. He had a nature form- ed to love, and he loved, and he could scarce restrain the passionate out- flowings which gushed up from the lowest depths ofu warm and full heart. He had conceived an attachment for a beautiful lady. just blushing into womanhood, lovely and fascinating in her manners, but withal something ot‘acoquette. 'l‘o appearance his affection was fully returned. ‘ Now,’ thought Franklin, ‘ I am on the roy- rl road to happiness.’ Hope lit up his countenance with a smile of cheerl'ulncss and joy. The myste- rious passion oflove, which,wheu rc- quited, becomes the ‘ spiritual eoup- ling oftwo souls,’ and the dearest boon ofearth teemed to absorb his whole being: he had knelt to Cam. line Percy,and solemnly promised and pledged himself to he hers, and hers only death should them part, and she in d returned the same prolesta- lions of undying affection. letter from her, the beginning and ending of which he showed me, commenced with these words, ‘ My dearest and best beloved,’ and closed with the following, ‘ forever. your own Caro- line.’ But as I said before, she was wmewhit affected with that most despicable ofnll characteristics which ever clung to woman’s nature—co— quetry, loved to trifle with one’s af- fections—and in the absence of dear Frank, as she termed her lover, a- nother more wealthy son of fortune sought herhand and wooed and won her heart.
