POPULAR TALES: THE BROKE-N MINIATURE.

Too young ofﬁcers. belonging to the same regiment, aspired to the hand ofthe some young lady. W'e trill conceal their real names under those of Albert and Horace. Two youths more noble never saw the uiitarnished colors of their country wave overtheir heads, or took more nndaunted hearts into the field, or purer forms, or a more polished ad- dress, into the drawing-room.

Yet was there a marked difference in their characters. and each wore his virtues so becomingly, and one ofthein, at least, concealed his vices sobecomingly, also, that the maiden. who saw them both, was puzzled where to give the preference: and “00th as it were, between two flow- ers of very opposite colors and per- lllmeﬁt and yet each of equal beauty.

Horace, who was the superior of- ﬁcehwas more commanding in his figure than, but not so beautiful as, Albert. Horace was the more vi- vacious, but Albert spoke with more eloquence upon all subjects. If [in- race made the more agreeable corn-

panion, Albert the better friend—l

Horace did not claim the praise of being sentimental, nor Albert the fame of beingjovial. Horace laugh- ed the most with less wit, and Al- bert was the most witty with less laughter. Horace wasthe more nob- ly born, yet Albert had the better fortune, the mind that could acquire, and the circunispection that could preserve one.

“hem of the two did Matilda pro- fer? Yes, she had a secret,aii unde- fined preference; yet did her incli- nations walk so sisterly hand in hand with her duties,lhai her spotless mind “told not divide them from each 0- ther. She talked the more ofHorace, Yet thought the more of Albert. As Yehneither of the aspirants hail de- cla’red themselves.

ing into her heart for Albert, had its nature changed at once. \Vhen she found that he could not approach her as a lover, she found to Spring tip for him in her bnsorn a regard as sisterly, and as ardent. as if the some cradle had rocked them both. She felt, and her father knew, that Albert’s was ii character that must be loved, if not as a husband, as a brother.

The only point upon which Matil- da differed with her father, was, as to the degree of encouragement that ought to be given to Horace.

‘ Met its, my dear futher,’ she would cntreatingly say, 'be free, at least for one year. Let us, for that

period, stand committed by no cri— gagement: we are both young, my— self extremely so. A peasant mai- 'den Would lay a longer probation up. on her swain. [)0 but ask Albert if I am not in the right?’

The appeal that she made to Al- bert, which ought to have assured hcr father ofthe purity of her sentiments, frightened him into a suspicion of a lurking affection having crept) into her bosom.

Affairs were at this crisis when Napoleon returned from Elba, burst, like the demon of war. from it thunder cloud, upon the plains of France; and all the warlike and the valorous arose and walled her in with their veteran breasts. The returned hero lifted up his red right hand, and

with him to battle.

The regiment of our rivals was ordered to Belgium. After many on- treatics from her father. Matilda at length consented to sit for her mini- ature to an eminent artist; but upon
