-Notes to Correspondents. We have to acknowledge the receipt of three anfwers to the Rebus of laft month. The variety of other matter fent to us, prevents us from inferting more than one of them-One, therefore, appears in this number; and the writers of the other two will, we hope, be fatisfied with this reason for their non-appearance. Atticus is received, and under confideration. Califta will appear next month. The Club No. X. came too late for this number. The View on Hudfon's River is received, and fhall be attended to. The Proprietors of the New-YORK MAGAZINE refpectfully beg leave to inform their Patrons, that the first payment of one third of the annual fubfcription becomes due on delivery of this number. They prefume it will be unneceffary to urge any argument in favour of a prompt and cheerful compliance with that article of the condition, which refpects the mode of payment, and flatter themselves that ALL are convinced of the abfolute neceffity exifting of giving it their proportion of the needy evil, which is fo very effential to give spirit and animation to the work. 1. Those of our fubfcribers in the city, will be waited upon in due feason ; and those in the country, who make three payments in the year, are earnestly entreated to fend this proportion as foon as poffible. Our friends and the public are informed, that the Office is removed from No. 43, Crown-ftreet, to No. 27, William-street, where the NEW-YORK MAGAZINE will in future be published, and to which place, fuch of our patrons as have removed, are requested to fend their addrefs, that they may be punctually ferved with their numbers.

STORY of HENRY and ANNE*.-Founded on Fact, [WITH AN ENGRAVING.] ENRY and Anne were born in Germany, in the Marquif. ate of Baden; their parents divelt contiguous to each other, and the most fentimental friendship fubfifted between the two families. Anne was graceful even in infancy-Henry tall and majestic, ftrong and active, tho' not regularly beautiful; their poverty carly introduced them on the fields; their little hands were lacerated by the bearded grain, and their tender feet wounded by the afperities of a flinty foil. Anne's lovely complexion foon loft its delicate whitenefs, but was amply recompenced by the bloom of luxuriant health. Whilft they toil'd together in gathering the ftones from the green furface of a meadow, or weeding the vines, the courtly pafienger would ftop and gaze with pity to fee fo much elegance and beauty of form joined to the fervility of unremitted labour. Henry redoubled his exertions conftantly to leffen little Anne's fatigue, and when their tafk was done, they rejoined their companions, affifted them to complete their work, and with gleeful hearts fported themselves to sleep. Nor were the old farmers difpleafed to fee the growing affection between their children; "we fhall foon be clofer united," faid they," Henry and Anne (our only offspring) fhall cement our friendship, and perpetuate our names to remoteft centuries." Alas! in the midst of this inchanting vifion, an officer, attended by a file of mufqueteers, demanded Henry. He was now feventeen, full grown, and must enter his Lord's fervice. It was in vain to expoftulate. Without a farewell figh from Anne, or fcarce an embrace from his distracted parents, he must depart. Being escorted to a diftant town, he was there initiated into all the military manœuvres, and three weeks after joined his regiment, which left that part of Germany foon after. Henry's difappointed love funk him into melancholy-he grew defperate, and negligent of life. In a very warm action, being engaged with the enemy in fight of the General, he ventured himself rafhly, and fought without caution. It was called intrepidity, and he was advanced to the rank of ferjeant. Having acquitted himself with honour, and the time of his * This Tale was begun by the late Mrs. ANN E. BLEECKER, but indifpofition prevented her putting a finishing band to it: that, however, has beca accomplished by her daughter Mifs PEGGY V. BLEECKER. From the enter tainment the productions of thofe pens have hitherto afforded the public through the medium of the New-York Magazine, we have no doubt but the flory of Henry and Anne will meet with a cheerful acceptance. |
