there time to lose in such nonsense, for his
sister had taken the oath, and was deposng against

She said her father and her brother were proud
because they had got little money in the world
and were mad at her for marrying Mr. Hugger~
stony-though better husband, in has acGy, never
no woman need TO have. But that, she said, was
neither here nor there; for if she hadn't had him,
she might have had no husband at all, and half
loaf was better than no bread. They managed
things comfortably enough, only her father and
brother would never let them alone come what
would and on Thursday night, her brother, Harry
Beany, laugh hing as he stood there, came up into

ETYMOLOGY.

With regard to the derivation of the names of
the four great Continents, il is we'll known that A"
merica owes its name to Amerigo Vespucio, Flor
entine adyenturer who robbed Columbus of his lsu.
relied wreath, in giving his name TO the Western
World.
Europe by one etymologist is said to be derived
from theArabick word ,crab, aoest meaning the PEG.
pie and country towards the setting sun. Anothes
derives it from the Phunician words r-npPa, whit.
vsage, that is white visaged people. The similar
ity of the etymon is such that both may be correct,
but Bochart is most generally relied on,
Asia is said to be derived from he Phenicisn word
ash, middle, because that Asia Minor was mid way
between Europe and Africa and transferred its
to the greatest of the four Continents.
Africa is said TO mean the celebrated country from
the Ph9nician words Ophiro, celebrated, and kak
country it being the Ophir of sacred writ, from
whence that people, the most commercial Of their
day, derived their wealth.
Britain was so calledby the Pbpnicians from Bre-
tan -nah land of tin, because that was the country
from whence they got their tin. Its other name AL
bion comes from theCeltick word alb ralp,,cite
lofty applicable also to the Alps of Italy. England
is said te have been given to the southern division
of the Island by the Saxons, from the word angutuS
la corner applicable to that section which the An
gloSaxons inhabited before their invasion Of Great
Britain. Saxons means fixed inhabitants.
Ireland signifies west land and Erin west Island,
in the language of the Irish, being west and in
Island
I0bacco.--A single hogshead oftobacco was late-
ly sold in Georgetown at the enormous price oil fifty
dollars per hundred oeight---" marie, quoth Cob

were four died out of one house last week with ta-
king OF II and two more the bell went for yester.

ly imagine that tales of this kind were common,
mong the ignorant, when tobacco first came into
USE for we meet with it very gravely introduced in
serious essay, as terrible msniento to all smokers,
and from no less authority than royal pen.- In
king James Conntcrblast to Tobacco" the follow

THE MOORISH BRIDAL soNG.'
By Mrs. HEMANs.
The citron groves their fruit and flowers strewing
Around the Moorish palace, and the sigh
OF summer's gentlest wind, the branches woong
With music through their twilight bowers, went by;
Music and voices from the marble halls,
Thro' the leaves cleaning, midst the fountain Falls,
song of joy, bridal song, came swelling
To blend with fragrance in those southern shades,
And told of feasts within the stately dwelling,
And lights, and dancing steps, and gem-crowned maids
And thus 1t fow'd yet something in the lay
Belonged to sadness as it died away.
The bride comes forth her tears no more are falling
Toleave the chamber of her infant years,
Kind voices from another home calling,
She comes like day spring she hath done with tears
Now must her dark eye shine other flowers,
Her bright smile gladden. other hearts than ours
Pour the rich odours round
" We haste the chosen and the lovely bringing,
Love still goes with her from her place of birth,
Deep silent joy within her heart is springing,
For this alone her glance hath less of mrth
Her beauty leaves in its rosy years.
Her sisters weep-but she hath done with tears
Now may the tmbrel sound!'
Know'st thou for whom they sang the bridal numbersf
One whose rich tresses were to wave no more
One whose pale cheek soft winds, gentle sumbers.
Nor loves own sigh to rose-tints might restore
Her graceful ringets DER bier spread
Weep tor the young, the beautiful, the dead
tits custom among the Moors sing the bridal SOM
when the funeral of unmarried woman is borne from
her home.

FANCY-MEMORY
| love to look on the rising sun
When light and life from his beams are shed;
But better love, when his race is run,
The glory that circles his golden bed.
Gladly hail the Springs return,
When Earth is gay and the Heavens are bright
But my heart still loves though my eye may mourn,
The fading glow of the Autumn light.
Oh bright as the rays of the rising morn,
And joyous as Earth in the smile of the Spring,
Are the regions through which the spirit is borne
On Fancy's ever unweared wing.
But the grief wrought charm of Memory's power
Is far more touching and soul subdung;
IT'S hallow'd and calm as the sunset hour
Though mournful as Autumn the yellow leaves
strewing.
Yes Memory's mirror, though dimm'd by tears,
Must ever be dear to the heart OF Feeling,
For its visions recall our happier years,
When Times dull mist DER their beauty is steal

The following is moral lesson, elegantly expressed.
Bright rose the morn spicy gale
Breath'd DER the sheltered Indian vale,
When Isabel, pure Natures child,
Explored the hill and forest wild;
Loose flowed her locks and siken vest,
AS soft the breezes famed her breast
On near hillock's sun-g gilt side,
A snake displayed his scay pride.
Evolved from many graceful fold,
His sides were gay with green and gold;
The maid admired the stranger guest,
And fondly placed him in her breast.
A while secure,and warmly laid,
He lightly round her bosom played;
And raised his head in sportive guise,
And darted lightnings from his eyes,
Transported, she the snake carest,
And strained him closer TO her breast.
But soon the luckles smaiden found
The horrors of the poisoned wound;
She felt the chilling dews of death,
The creeping pulse. the struggling breath,
And, dying, mourned the hour she prest
The glittering stranger to her breast.
