A WEDDfNa.

The bride turned little pale, and then a litIlo flushed, and at last had just the right quantity of bright, becoming color, and ale most shed tear, but not quite, for smile came instead, and chased it away. The bridegroom was warned not to forget the ring and all were assembled around the ale tar: '' will" was uttered in a clear, low voice, and the new name written-and Sophy Grey was Sophy Grey no more and she turned her bright face to be look ed on, and loved, admired, by the crowd of relations and friends surrounding her :; and they thought that Sophy StOketon was still dearer and prettier than even SOphy Grey had been-and then the carriages were en- tered, and the house was reached. Sophy
 walked into her fathers housc-her child
 hoods home-her home no lOnger-and
 the bridal dress was changed, and the trav- elling dress took it's place, and all crowded
 round her-the father, the mother, the sis-
 ter, the bTothers-all crowded round her
 to say good bye-to look and look on that
 dear face once more-to feel that her fate
 was sealed-to pray that it might be hap
 py one---to think that she was going away
 away from her home-away with stran-
 ger! and tears and smiles were mingled,
 and fond looks and long embraccs-and
 fathers mingled tear of joy and sorrow
 was on her cheek and the sisters tear,
 that vainly tried to be a smile, and the
 mothers sobs and Sophy Grey left her
 fathers house-left it with the bright beam
 of fjoy and hope upon her brow and an-
 other moment, the carriage door was clo- sed, the last good-by uttered-and Sophy was gone. Oh! how melancholy how lonely does the house appear, where, but a moment before, all had been interest and hurry who has not experienced the de- serted sensation, when those we have been accustomed to see are gone-when the ag- itation, the interest at parting is over ;-sl the forlorn, empty look of the room-the ] work box, the drawing mate- rials, the music, all gone or perhaps one single thing Jeff to remind how all was-a flower, perhaps, that had been gathered and cast aside-the cover of a letter which had been scribbled over in the forgetfulness off the happy onversation.-AnHe Gray.
 Support your oson Printers.-If an in- dividual is able to patronize more than one let him first subscribe for one printed in his own town, county, or neigh borhood, and then we care not where he goes for the second. In this matter we confess that our feelings are sectional, and why should they not be-? Our interests are the interests of our fellow citizens, and it becomes us then to work for each other. There is no better evidence of the growth, and intelligence of any country than to see the Press in a fourishing and prosperous condition among its inhabitants; and when we see a newspaper in languish- ing state-appearing once in two weeks-l its columns poorly filled the publisher in- sisting that he must have more subscribers, or calling on his old ones to pay up, we in- l vsriably look upon the people of that sec- ton as poor, ignorant and bad managing set, who do not know how to appreciate their own interest. We too, have been in the habit, since we first became acquainted with newspapers, of judging ofthe charac- ter of town, by the appearance, we mean the outscard looks, of the paper printed therein; for when it is we'll executed, the impression fair and clear and every thing arranged in order, VIC take it for granted that th0t paper has good support, and the | inhabitants of the town and country are in ! a prosperous condition. When this is the l case, the printer goes to work cheerful and buoyant in spirit he uses his best endeav- ors to please his patrons, and improve the appearance and usefulness of his paper, and such printer never thinks about writing for glory, and printing on trust.'-Sandus- Ky Clarion.
 Intelligence cf Birds.-A gentleman re- siding in CatskiIl. relates the following
 "A son of his, in the early part of the season, put up cage in his garden, inten- ded for the blue bird. Soon after it was pair of wrens paid it visit, and being pleased with the tenement took possession and commenced building nest. l however, the nest was comple- led, pair of blue birds arrived, laid claim to the cage, and after hard battle, suc- ceeded in ousting the wrens, and forthwith the nest on plan of their own. But the male wren was bird of spirit, and not disposed to sShmit tamely to the injury. | Some days after, watching his opportunity when his antagonist was away, hc entered | the cage, and commenced rolling the eggs out of the nest. He had thrown cut but one when the blue bird discovered him, and with loud cries made immediate attack. The wren so,lpht safetv in a neiuhhor;n0
