A Tale torilteiy and dedicated to the young Ladies . of Salisbury; - - j J ' " j-By.W.--- The following tale, founded upon, facts, is not designed toportray the melting, though unreal feelings, which so generally accom pany the hypocritical love of this cold and selfish age; I ehall rather " endeavor to mingle incidents, entirely fictitious-, with certain facts, known only to a few, in such a manner as to teach a lesson of truth! as well as to give a few moments of plea sura to my readers. - -V- Y ' s ;- ; ,. 7f" " Young Walter Macon sprung from a prevays, though a fafgreater'amourit of feel ing "and, perhaps, religion also is seen than in the more gaudy ranks-of the aristocracy. The circumstances of his parents were suffi cient for the jfcomfortable enjoyment of life, though not adequate to the expenses and extravagance of " high life' But though such was the case their'hearts were as pure, and devoted to the interests of their friends, as if they possessed all the gold of Croesus. Their children all were anxious to succeed well in life, and with this object in view, their conduct always "betrayed energy and activity. But there- was one, especially remarkable for his bold aspiration. We mean no other than our hero Walter Macon. Though an-aspiring youth, he was neither proud nor haughty in his deportment "to others. On the contrary, his kind and un assuming manner, won him many friends a mong those who could appreciate the prin ciples of the gentleman. High station in life was not the prime motive of his action. A polished and thorough education was the thing which he longed for far more .than wealth and station. By his own industry, combined with the zeal of a kind father and brother, he' at length completed his college education While at college he had con tracted the habits of zealous and untiring industry, without the dissipation and im morality, so generally prevalent among col lege students. "His untiring industry, as well as his general honesty gained him ma ny unchanging friends among his' profes sors as well as companions. But there are ouie every where who LavtV-btttAUiaU regard for principle or perseverance,! because they are themselves strangers to both. Among this class we mayj safely place George Temple,' the cjass-mate of our hero, Waiter Macon. Temple . possessed suffi cient powers of mind to have distinguished himself in a literary point of" view ; but: he seemed totally destitute 'of either moral or gentlemanly principle, without which the strongest powers of mind are "unavailable. .Consistently with his character, he had no respect or friendship for Walter. On the contrary nothing was too .low and unprinci pled for him to engage in, if by so doing, he could injure him in. the estimation of his companions or instructors. But every one knew -the comparative merits of the two classmates too well to believe anvthing which Temple might say against Walter; In spite therefore of envy, which a great; poet has so aptly called "a hissing coal sent hot from hell," Walter' continued to rise in the estimation of his friends and at length bore away the' palm from all his competitors. Nor did this excite any ill-feelings against him among those who had so warmly con tested the prize with him. j It .was noble and, indeed, affecting to :see his fellow-students grasp him cordially by the hand and congratulate him on his -victory over them. Not so with Temple Yalter's triumph was a fresh thorn in his side, which pierced him the deeper, the more he contemjiated his own inferiority. J . ; ' ? But enough of this enmity for the pre sent. The evil charactecof Temple will fbe better impressed upon the, mind,. Iwhen ine circuniswiuces ui iuis taieit ug'uiu contrast witajno principle and wonnmess ofW alter. . .After bis departure "from col lege, his genteel and manly deportment gained Walter many more friends, than his information and accomplishment gained ad mirers. Had he been wealthy, he "might have become a favorite with the fair sex, but his circumstances made it necessary to pay " more, attention to his business and studies, than to all the fancy-touches of dress and the 'delicate curling of Tiair. He was now busily occupied in the study of his future professionr. He had always felt a,desire to become a lawyer, and he now entered upon the study .of this science with a rational zeal and moral purpose . which argued well for his futuresuccess and pop ularity. ' '- " ' Hitherto his life had been one of labor ious industry; but -still it had been one of unruffled enjoyment. But life is a check ered scene. And though its first colors -are bright and beautiful, the; prism mus turn, and reveal others of a gloomier cast'. "At this period of Walter's life, "a change came over the spirit of his dream." He had be come acouainted with many eentlemen of the bar, by one of whom he was introdaced to Mary, the young and beautiful daughter of George Southern. Prior to this time, 1 Walter. hadJfrequently mingled in female society when his business permitted " him this enjoyment. But love seems never as yet to have entered his young breast.

It is true that he ' occasionally wrote amatory poems and sent them to the ladies; but they were, never regarded in the light of earnest. On the contrary, it was often remarked jocosely thai all-in honor of whom he wrote these love-songs', according to the amount of his bob-tail muse; I had " unburned locks " "rosv cheeks" i&c. ue iovea tnem an, out it was wita tnies teem and affection of friendship. J But since he had seen Mary, he felt within his bosom those emotions which were f so inexplicable to the Moorish girl who had been secluded in a lonely fortress from infancy. !; His man ner now began to show yery plainly the condition of hisJieart: In his conversation with Mary,, he was particularly exact in the use of his expressions. His ideas were remarkably tender and effeminate, his' ex pression.as soft as the zephyr wnich fanned the effeminate Rinaldo in Tasso's " bower of bliss." , ' -; v;:J - -j - ' Poetical tropes and figures came from jiis mouth even faster than from the laughable genius in Butlers Hudibras, Smiles nev- I er left his face i Byron, .Moore, Bayly' and Proctor (Barry Cornwall) all had to. con tribute something to this wonderful con versation. And it would have Wade those sages of poetry laugh to have heard souicj of their extravagant lines, quoted as the very essence of human, feeling lines which con tained. sentiments, unnatural -enough r to choke any one but the hardy lawyer. To make his arguments more, distinct, Walter always sat as near Mary as the rules of pro priety would allow him : to make them more cogent and impressive, he frequently looked into her sweet. face i with a' logical sternness, peculiar to the reasonings of love. Besides this, though Walter was no inferior reasoner in ordinary conversation, he al ways lost the- point at issue on this all-absorbing occasion. But let us not leave the poor, silly and afflicted youth to the tender keep a guardian eye on him, lest he. be come the victim of sweet smiles and rosy lips. They are nowj seated at a table, en gaged in some simple game of cards, no matter what. There is evidently but little calculation on either side.
