The following Poem was written on beard the Steamboat Gen. Gaines, on a passage up the Mississippi, ami addressed to a Jady whom the author deserted:? Adieu, swoot girl! a fond adieu, By Fate's unseen decree we're parted; Farewell Orleans to peace and you, Farewell dear maid, too soon deserted." I little deemed the appointed hour .. I should have met you, could inherit** The gloomy, wild .and maddening power, Which now corrodes my reckless spirit. While musing on Fate's dread decree, I 6aw a young and leafless willow, An emblem of thy memory, Droop sadly o'er the silent billow: From that love tree I tore a bough, And of its finer branches wove A wreath to bind the faded brow Of him whose breast is doomed to rove; To rove, because it could not bear The frowns of your just indignation; Yet tears of blood, and years of care, Can't soothe the pangs of separation. While borr.c upon the sterile deep. Beneath the frosty ray of Ilesper, In vain I seek the chanhs of sleep; I fancy that you softly whisper? This silent hour was p'cdg'd to rue, Now weeping here alone I wander, Inconstaut, faithless wretch go free, _ Yet on your broken promise ponder. Uut never U> mc gin reium, Whose artlcsc heart you could discover, Then leave alone too late to mourn, The absence of a reckless lover. The hour is past, the twilight sped. The darker shades of night are o'er me; Your troubled sprite in silence fled, But leaves a gloomier void before me. You say my heart is free from carc, With newer faces never lonely; Saw you its deep recesses bare, You'd see your own sweet image only. You'd see your last soul-m'elting kiss, $? Stamped on this heart with deep impression, You'd see the clime of former bliss The faded ruins of transgression. You'd seejin premature decay, In that lone cell, the home of reason; Unguarded late she fell a prey, A prey to love's unhaUow'd treason. My heart, where is thy calm repose.1 Forever lost amid the surges Of deep regret and countless woes, Which from my bleeding breast emerges. Though we may never meet again, Till both have passed life's stormy ocean, Doubtless, sweet girl, i'li scfeyou there, Beyond the tempests of commotion, Where I, deception's perjured child! Can never lmpe to gain admission; Can only see you from the wild, Eternal vortex of perdition. Yet, maiden, grant one pensive prayer, * To him who cannot lie forgiven; Then add not tortdVe to despair, By frowning from the vaults of Ileaven. * * * Miss , New Orleans. ?? ?' For the Camden Journal. MARIAN WENTWORTH, In a small village not many miles from the town ol'B , and near the banks of the river Colorado, was a most romantic spot, visited often by lite ladies when tired of the bustle and noise of B . But on the evening that my story commences, all was tranquil, except the btizz^if humming bird as it extracted the sweets from the wild honey suckle, thatlwinitrgfafound two or three trees, formed a natural arbor, one ? ?? Blitna frnm tvliiob a snrir.tr, issilino v> IJ>v?.vr B, 0 from a rock, completed the beauty of lite landscape. In a few minutes the branches of the trees were bent aside, and a voting girl apparently about seventeen years o age, stepped in front of the spring?her bun net, which had fallen back, displayed a pro fusion of light brown ringlets, her eye< wer^full huzle, her complexion was dazz linglVTair, and a fastidious judge inigli have thought the roses in her cheek to" deep-rher mouth-.was small and-beautiful fy formed?she remained standing fo ? * ? some time in the attitude of one who listen for the sound of an approaching footstep but.sudden.y with an expression of impa tience, she turned as if to retrace her steps when a rustling among the trees attracts . ml ! ' i iihujjilil , I her attention, and a young ir.an between nineteen and twenty was by her side?her anger, ^ ''Fur even in tiie trtmquiilost climes Li^lit breezes will ruffle the blossom? sometime*," r against her lover, for ' not being at the spring at the appointed time, immediately ^disappeared as she looked up and observed | the expression ofmelancholy in his countenance, raid ''why, what has happened I Frank, to make you look so sad? I am sure it is very unusual." But young Sey'jmotir managed to change the conversation i without replying to her question. * * 1- '-/ f-- o e f vl o | _> i ii r i :i 11 vv cutworm \ ior ?ubu >.?o r name of bur hproine) wits llie daughter of ' a rich banker of. the town, of B , who, . I " " * , after having acquired sufficient wealth, retired from business, and having only two Idanghters. both beautiful and accomplish I cd, they were, as may be supposed, the religning belles of_ B -But Marian had i r ' accepted the addresses'of Frank Seymour, ;a young man of higli respectability, and only son of ? very rich planter, and the next month from the period in which my story commences, was appointed for the celebration of their marriage. We must now acquaint the reader with the cause of the melancholy which was visible in .the countenance of the young man. He had that day received intelligence of an order issued by the commander-in-chief, ordering all who were capable of hearing arms to join the company under Captain Ilarcourt, who was going to the assistance of their neighbors in Texas; and thus, so near the time fixed for his marriage, he was obliged to embark in an expedition which ll was probable if lie was not killed or taken prisoner, he would fall a victim to the climate, lie had met Marian, determining to reveal all; but after looking at her happy countenance, he found that he had not courage, and determined to pass one more happy evening before communicating tbc dreadful intelli gcnce. The sun was sinking behind the trees, when they stopped before the door of a bcautilul building, the mansion of Mr. Wentworth, where they were met by Julia, Marian's younger sister?she seemed about fifteen, all gaiety and mischief and very fond of a flirtation with theyoting officers quartered at B . ft could be truly said ofher, that she was "mistress of all 'henrte, yet constant to none.'' Nothing could be more different than the sly le of beauty of the two sisters. Julia's mischievous black eyes and dimpled chin, gave a:i expression of great archness to her countenance; her complexion was dark but clear and iuddy. "Her's was tho loveliness ever in motion that plays ' Like the light ui>on Autumn's soft shadowy days? 1 Now here, now there, giving zest as it flics, ' From the lips to the cheek, from the check to the eyes." Scarcely lia:l her sister and Frank entcred the house, before she exclaimed, "Oh! sister Marian, I have passsed such a delightful evening?yon would not be persuaded to accompany me to town and I will I tell vou what you have lost. I met the I ; handsome Captain Ilarrourt at Cousin Edith's, and he is so agreeable 1 became quite | captivated with him." I "I, for one, satH Frank, glancing towaidi I Marian, and stifiling, am delighted your ; sister did not accompany you, Miss Julia, <? . . . , if iliis Captain is so handsome and agreaote, who knows but what he might have supplanted me?" If 1 was in Marian's place "there would be great*danger of his doing so," said J ulia, whose greatest delight was to say any llting that she thought would lease Frank, who, notwithstanding, whs a great favori ite with her. After conversing for sometime, Frank look up the guitar that wis lying on the s centre table, and placing it in Marian's . hand begged her to sing, "she wore a r wreath of roses," and he almost forgot the fli-.'Z. t. | , , f| cause onus tusquteiuae, as ne usieucu 10 . the sweet clear voices t?f the two sisters . poured forth in song. But when, in the s last verse, she sang, "but now she wore . a widow's weeds," he shuddered to think t how soon those words might almost be > applied to her. Captain llarcourt called the next day, r and he soon became a constant visitor at s Mr. Wentworlh's. The time was now i, fast approaching when Marian would be - obliged to hear the dreadful intelligence^ i, as the latter end of the ensuing week was [1 fixed for the departure of the company. I shall not attempt to describe the agony she experienced when she Was told by her lover. Only one that has been placed in a similar situation ran have the least-idea s of it! But a week after, when he sawder i foh;-the last time bpfore his departure,'the I ehanae ih her appearance plainly^indira- s Led the sufferings she had endured?her < rheek was qtepale that the blue veins were distinctly visible. The details of all that < whs said during this interview might be t tiresome to hnr realises. Frank promised ? that he would return at the first opporlu- i nity, and that she should receive intelli- t genre n.rie utu not return. For a wepk aftc her lover left, Marian'-s life was despaired of, but youth aqiF a s strong constitution fiinally prevailed." As t soon as she was able, the physicians ad- (] vised her parents to traVel with her on the a continent, until her health^became restor- a ed. * e We next see them in Florence, where r they had been a month, and the two beau- ii liful girls had been much spoken of, r when they became acquainted with a n young Italian noblemanSignor Gamha3inet g who became quite captivated with Mari-. an's sweet countenance und-m^nners, and il although she gave him do encouragement, fi but the contrary, he paiiii her marked at a tention ' and it- was soon, reported that p she was engaged. As soon as she discov. si ered it, she persuaded her father thai she m was much betl6r, and wished to return home; and he, willing to gratify her,'-3$^ ii Florence a few days after, but travelred ti till the ensuing fall. p It was only a few weeks after their re- e turn, and Marian and Julia were in the o drawing room; the lattir was seated by r tbe window and talking of every thing she y could think of, with the hope of amusing e Marian, who was reclining on the lounge, it but with her thoughts fat aVay?they n were however suddenly rccaTTetTby Julia, u who exclaimed, "sister-Marian, as I live, s here is Signor Gambnsine Advancing up the n nrpnne. where could he have dronoed u from?"?She interrupted herself upon ob- t< serving the effect her words had produced c. upon her sisier who was deadiy pale, and li arose with difficulty from the softi, "Julia, C I cannot see him, this evening?if he en- b quires, say that 1 am too indisposed."? v She was so much agitated that she could I scarcely give utterance to these wordsi and u with difficulty reached the door a few I minutes before the front one was opened. $ and a young man of fashionable appear*? ance entered. "Ah! Signor Gambasine," t said Julia, rising, "this is quite an unex- v peeled pleasure?we did not hear of your ^ being in our town." "I only airived this morning, and hastened to pay my respects t 10 the Miss Wentwonhs,'* said Gambasine, f "and hope your sister's health was benefitted by her travel." "Sister Marian's j health has been delicate since her return, y ' ? 1- ?- * ? juaoOiI fills Affaitiiiiv ' 1 _ mill but: lb IjUllC Ill'J isjiwawia ?t?ia cirniug. v The conversation soon took a different turn, and Julia described with animation, ? i the scenes she had witnessed, and the dif- ' ferent places through which she Ifad pas- > sed, and Signor Gambasine found that he | had remained twice the length of time he ] had intended, after hearing he could tiot 1 see Marian. Every day found Gambasine a visitor at ( Mr. Wentworth's?and Marian often ex- ? cused herself from seeing him by the plea I of indisposition?but he was not discour- ' aged; and on the first opportunity, he pro- . posed. Her rejection was kind, but firm, j and 011 his asking if her heart was al- I ready won, she thought it but right to ac- j quaint him with her situation, and told bim that she would always regard him as her friend. It was now near nine months since Frank had left, and no tidings had reached them, but soon their anxiety was changed almost into a certainty, by news that reached them, that Captuin liarcourt's company had beensurprised and cut to pieces, although fighting bravely, with the exception of a few, who were taken prisoners. It was supposed that the brave-'i$rank Seymour and Captain H. had fallen. Marian received so great a shock bv this intelligence that the physicians * w m. dreaded a relapse. It was a mournful sight to see so young and beautiful a creature clothed in widow's weedflfe , # # . More than a twelve-month had elapsed since the news had been received and ' f r a . w'-n young Gambasine finding (hat he could not QvjSfcome .his attachment dor her, aL^ain made heron offer qf his liand^Her parents were vervffiteatous that she should iccepi'him/and neveirtjiwar. led thpm in any tvfsh, could scarcely do so now. She begged thdrp lo J'ct&c her ine week to innke her decision. Since "the fate of Cnplein Harcourt's company had been known, Juija had thangcd very much?she was often sad, md at other times, woufil tryifo chefce u;r sister hy somV of the gaiety of former imes. Her parents attributed it to grief >n heiffeister's account. A'fevv^days before Marian was to decide, he determined to walk to the spring for he last time. .This walk had been relin[uished since |he rumour of Frank's death, s she found that "Memory waked witly I] its husiy train"?but this evening she xpefien ced j&ne lancholy satisfaction in ecalling ail that passed during the last iterview. She was startled frora.lhe everie into which 6he had fallen, by the pise of some one approaching?she raiis(1 her eyes. What ca'n occasion such*a urprised, yet joyful Vpxclumlftion? and lal bright 6inile that has been banished om her countenance for so long a time, nd which restores to it the animated* exression of former times? It is no illu* ion, but the figure of her own Frank, who dvances hastly to embrace her. After some lime, when they were jeturn* ng home they discovered Julia and Capain Harconrt advancing, and by the exression of their countenances, it could q$ly be guessed that the topic was ne of great interest to both. We will cturn to the cause of the absence of the oung men. They had been taken prison-'rs and after dragging out a miserablerex1-: .ileftce -for one year, the Spanish Corn-i la^Ber-in-Chie^ JVom, some cause theni nknown to them, ordered that Frank hotild be brought to his presence and lade enquiries of his previous history, rhich, after learning, he was very much inched by his sufferings, and Frank disovpred that the cause of this unusual soicitude was the strong resemblance the h>mmander-in-Chief imagined he traced etween the prisoner and an only son rliom he had lost a few years before.-rle offered to adopt Frank as his son, and ipon being told that it would scarcely aleviate the misery he must endure separagj from all he most loved on earth, he nsented to his departure; and after con iriued appeals to his generosity-Frank so ron upon his feelings, that lie permitted Captain Harcntirl to accompany him. We have only to add that a month after, he newspapers contained the following >aragraph: "Married, on Tuesday, by the Rer. Mr. Jravtnn, Marian, ehlest danghler of Mr. iVentworth, to Mr. Frank Seymour?' Uso> Jiilia ^oungest daughter of the lame, to Captain Harcourt." The happy couples immediately set out in a tour to the Continent, where it is ruuouretl they will not return until the next ipring. We are happy to odd-, that Frank's return did not break Signor Gamjasine's heart, (as he had met him some ^ears before in Italy, and had become at* .ached to him, and deeply lamented the oss of so brave ayouhg man. He weljorned him hooie with joy, although it in. erfered so much with his happiness,) but, ilas! for man's constancy, he returned to Italy, and in six months afterwards, Mr. ind Mrs. Seymour and Captain and Mrs. Harcourt, who were at Floience at the iciie, received an invitation to his wedding, is he was accepted by a fair young Sig* aorita. And now having followed, the history of Marian Wentworih to a close, [ bid the kind reader Btlieu.
