There was n lit 11 x girl once,-and her name was Ailie, and she greatly desired to see a fai- [ ry. 11 t mother believed iuil.oni, and so, of; eour.se, did she, for children always do what ! the mothers do; tuid besides this, Aiiio had another good reason for her I'uith in the little people, tor always, on her birthday, a fairy brought her a uest full of beautiful colored I which tasted sweet liko'sugar-plutns, and j hung it on a rose-bush close by tho Svindow, and rise as early as she mi^lit, there it hung, ' dressed with colored ribbons. No one, of, course, but a fairy could do that. Ailie, too, Would peep curiously into the : heart of arose, iL" kIio could liml onQ half open, or peer into the cup of the white lily ; when it was jn t bitddiug, but the imprisoned fairy always made its (-scape before she found it. The wide, open common beyond her mo- | ther's house, was covered with tall plants of thesAveet fennel, and myriads of bright pink hutterilics li\ed upon it 'J'lie little ,u;irl thought that upon each of these butterflies she Would lind a f:;irv (iikiiif :i lidc. and so. n ? ? * l'..r hour.--. slu* would chaso tliem, and as they | would settle now upon one bush, now upon j another, site would creep up softly, and | f-tretching forth her hand, exclaim joyously, ' Now I have it but just us she touched j l?cr prize it was off, and she'had nothing but [ a little of the pink dust upon her fingers ; and a.s she never caught one, of course she never j Buw the fairy. 15ut the little child could not always bo a child, and .so, before anybody thought of it, ! she was a blusuing, beautiful girl. The golden curls had grown dark, :sntl the laughing eyes were, softened by long lushes, and bad become tender with the first exquisite fecliinr of youivj; love. Stil! she thought of fairies, ' and now alio would seek out the place whore I the wild roses grew, and by the wut r-side for j the soft moss of which they made their hods, or for tho twin blossom of the fragrant Michclli, withwhioh they decked their hulls; and when the moonlight came, and soft summer i nights, ?*ho would wander for hours under the shade of great trees ; uv, with her lover by ) her side, sit upon the green grass whe.ro the fairies d tuccd, and they would talk, 1 suppose, . oi' the fairies. 1 don't know what else it could have been that sent tho bright flush into hev check, and thri bright light into her dark eye?it was certainly something very picas ant. ? But now a sad change camc over Ailic.? She grow tired of her lever,and of hor hum- 1 ble but happy . homo She road about rich people, and thought sho \nuld like to be rich.

Wealth and oriental luxury were all she could think of. Palm trees and lireflies haunted her imagination. 1 Ier step beo: me languid, her temper peevish, in the vain, lo.iging for wh it she had not, and the thought pjimo to her more than once: * It* Harold | was only rich ! How becoming would pearls be to my dark hair! liow richly would matins hang aVound my graceful form! Oh! if I could only see a fa'?y ! Would I not ask for wealth and ease and luxury? Without them there ifl no happiness I" Poor Ailie! iwoni be! mr tired of, she now began to despise her noble-hearted lovor, be0'iu.io ho was poor ; and neglecting the duties which surrounded her, nml the good gifts which a merciful ft > 1 had showered upon her, (-.ho spent all her time isi vniu rcpfh'mgs ai'tgr I tiidsj tliiu?;A whieh wore denied her. | I laroM, j^mwver, would not give Ailie up, Ro loved her too well; so ho worked very hard and tried to grow rioli) that sho n.i/lit be happy. And now Ailic had another fancy, her iinnginntion took a higher flight: if xhe eonld only ho great; fame wan what she now desir- \ ed, to*be a queen,?why not ? Others had risen from humhle stations), why should she not? Sho was readj to leave home, country, friends, nil, to he a queen,?to ho called " your Majesty,?to have lords and ladies 'waitincon her; and Harold bccamo, day by dny, less afld loss in her eyes, nnrl alio, every j . ^ day, grew greater in her own estimation.? I8ho drew her tall form proudly up, and said with a haughty uir, as f-ho surveyed herself, " What a magrlilioeiit f|uccu f would moke, how great I would he, how 1 wronld rule, Tiow nil should yield to my power! Oh ! for a fairy to make iuc a queen !" One day, while she whs full of these fancies, f Harold came tojier, and J10 told her of tho beautiful cottage ho was building for h#r au'd of tho roses ho had planted nil around it; (and ho talked to her of bis plans for happiness, and of h'f plana for good to all arouud them, but Ailio ansvfdWd ooldly : " For these things I carc not.

And Ailio 110 longer lilt ' afraid, and began to think it was beautiful to I , fly with a fairy. | ( So away and away they went, over the land, i ( aud over the sou, s?> far away that Ailio al- : , most began to wish that sho wero once more j j at bnnie, and had not quarreled with Harold : ' but it was too late now. The mountains were ' far behind hor, her own house was out of , sight ; the sun shot down burning rays; eve- : j rything looked sJtrnngo Around her, and she > felt faint and tired, when suddenly the fairy | stopped and said : " Ailio, you have desired to be very rich ; j ' your desire is granted." Ami Ai'ie found herself where sho had of- ' ton longed to be, in the far off Ivist. She way lying upon a soft coueh ; servants stood near, ami fanned her with feathcVS of tho OS (rich; finite of t lie most tempting kinds wore ! offered to her upon silver waiters ; singing ! girls wore near, who charmed her with their 1 voices 5 while the cool re frothing sound of falling water from fountains overplaying lulled her, with its sweet murmuring, to repose. She looked into a mirror, and smiled with proud delight, as she beheld her own richly [ dressed and beautiful form glittering with jewels. As she rode slowly along, taking the | air after the sun had Set. the eveuim? breeze ' swavcd softly the hc;ivy brnuche.s of the beautiful trees, and, in ihu i|ii'ut twilight, words of love were whispered in her car by a rich lover. Her heart's desire was now fulfilled. Ailio was now in that land she had so often dreamed of, the land of palm trees, of sweet (lowers, of luscious fruits, and of spicy breezes ; and for a little while, chumvcd with the novelty, and with the luxury, Aiiie was happy; but she was changed. Tlie buoyant and eontouted temper which once had made the whole world beautiful to her, was gone.

Suddenly the fairy appeared. " Ailic, 1 have granted oue wish, arc you happy "No," nobbed Ailic "alas! no,?T have found that wealth and indolence will not confer happincKs." " Then," said the fairy, " wo will try soincthing else, your other wish shall now ho ".rant ed " ?and waving lior wand, the see:no was ej^pnged. The land of palm trues and burning fluns had disappeared fireflies and twilight had vanished away, and her rich lover, too indolent even to love, was left behind.? Ailie, too, was changed ; color again brightened her ch'dek, health again sparkled in her 'eye, the languid grace of her motions had given place to energy and activity, and Ailie. of a goodly land, wus now the young and admired queen. " Now," she thought, " now will ] indeed be haf)py. I am great, all shall obey me; 1 am beautiful, all will aduiire ihc; I shall do as I please, for am I not a queen?" Ailic was young; from her palace window she locked into a noble park, and thought, " To-morrow, nil bv myself I will go there." Poor Ailie! As soon as hIic waked in tho niirning, ladies entered her apartment,:? ' Had her Majesty idept well if Would her .Majestybe pleased to dress?" and so long and so ceremonins was the toilette, that Ailie was tired out.

In her nineteenth year she became a school teacher, and continued in that employment for two years; as .she advanced in life she became a visionary; when twentyone years of age, by way of a frolic, she dressed herself in a man's clothes and cut up some ' questionable capers ; a:>d soon after thai t-imo, in 1781, was mustered into the military service at Worcester, 31 ass., by the name as above mentioned, of Kobert Shurtliolf. Fit in Worcester she went to West Point, and tliove received the uniform of a'soldier :u tlic light \ infantry; she marched to White Plains, and | with her company engaged a party of Dutch Cavalry at Tarrylown; she was at York town, and performed arduous duty during that siege ; in a skirmish with the enemy alio was twice wounded, and lay for a time in a French hospital; she was one of the detachment sent to subdue the Indiana on the Northern frontier; she marched with lil'teeu hundred men to Philadelphia to suppress a mutiny anions tlie Americau soldiers, where she wits taken siok and confined (o u hospital, and where she was discovered to he a woman. After her recovery, in the garb of a gentleman, she performed a tour into tho mountainous region of Virginia ; and while on a hunt for buffaloes with the Indians, at night, in an Indian camp, she shot through the heart an Indian whom she suspected of evil designs; and after returning to the Hast, was honorably discharged in 17^-5 from tho army, and resumed Iter fouude attire.
