They were all happy?the parents of en I ic girl found f-licity in that of their child and ; cxc ieir chlds happiness in that of her parents. She ; dod its gay, young, innocent and artless; every i tale luruing and evening she walked in her smiling ; fori arilen, suppmtiug hear aged parents, and enli- par cuing them with her lark-like song; and there \ as not alip in the whole village that did not tott raise Annette Laramie, nor a heart that did not ; lioa ckuowledge and admire horvirfues. Hut clouds cvei nine over the life of the fair girl, and blighted j te rn er happiness and.broke her heart. Annette j of i ever knew sorrow, until she loved; and she j hav It it not then, for young love ever hopes, and j 1 ie magic influence ol hope steeps all sorrow , and i forgetfulness. Felix LeBland resided in the j red line village with Annette, and was tu every son ray worthy of her affections; they loved mu- sto? mlly, and were betrothed with the approba- row on of their parent?. But Fate, which never ! que erniits the stream of young affection to glide pon long without some agitating storm, had do- quit riuined to prevent their union, and rob poor C miotic of the jewel of her mind?her reason, hut 'J'hero was a beautiful grove in the vicinity j waj f Annette's cottage, where often, after having ! gra rst walked with her parents in her garden, she f tlicj oold stray at the purple hour of evening hen ith her lover; then her young heart was ever tree pened to receive his offoiings of affection, elm rcr ready to acknowledge them and yield their she nd return. There is not in life a more de- nett ghtfnl picture, than the pure love of two young whi id innocent beings, developed in every ac- the ou of their existence; unsullied by gross loughts, interest or passion; regarding only j icir cwn loves; endeavoring only to promote |,y loir own happiness, and that of those by na- j|iat re or friendship rendered neg/'and dear to frco lem. One evening, as they were walking in that T. ove, when Natuie scorned to srnile more Nev mutifully, and their own hearts to throb more for I ippilv than they were wont to do, the sky j bnsi iddenly became overcast, and threatened a i on t orm. It was not lon^ before a loud and | the orflinir thunder clap told that the tempest | to tl in* :v?is abroad,: ??! :**: 1 phved I ough the storm clouds that covered the i indless expanse of Heaven. Haste, haste, Annette,' said Felix, 'we must id our way home speedily, it is our nearest i _ Iter, l'hey turnpd to do so, and had progressed . a shore distance, when from the clouds a t of lightning .flashed suddenly before them . ; the spirit of destruction. 'Jjjo hand of; , iix, in* which that of Annette had been ttfTec lately clits'ped, lost its hold, and she saw i i fall; she "knelt beside-him to ascertain the j ise, and behold him seared and lifeless.

The gay garden which they lov- j because their Annette had cultivated it, was j t< lected ; and.the bright flowers that adorned : c were concealed by the loathsome weeds i p ich sprang up among them; the song of in- j ,s ;ence was no longer heard in their cottage, i t( 1 there never was a more melancholy change I v n that which was perceptible in the once 1 P ?nr donuVil of old Dominiaue Laramie.

The Norftf as paid meantime only 8215,850,097. So lat the tax paid by the South per head jvitjjin io period specified, has averaged 820 17 per 0 years, while that of the North has been only 8 0!).
