the Indian ocean ever raised as it does now:
In the first migration of birds they passed
from north 10 south, and fed over the mar
rowest parts Of the seas as they will this au-
tumn. The cuckoo and the nightingale tirst
began their song together, analogous to tine
beginning of our April, in the days OF MINI
rod. Birds that lived on flies laid blush
eggs in the days of Joseph, as they will TWO
thousand years hence, If the sun should not
fall from his throne, or the earth not break
her harness from the planetary car: Inc
first bird that was Gagged oftencr sang IN ada
gio thnn its natural spirit.
Corals have ever grown edgeways to the
ocean stream. 6,26O,O0O animalculR could
as we'll live in drop of water in the days OF
Seth as in ours. All flying insects had on
their coats of mail in the days of Japhet, over
which have ever waved the plumes of more
gaudy feathers than the peacock ever drop
ped. The bees that afforded Eve her first
honey, made their combs hexagonal; and
the first house fly produced 2O,O6O,S29 eggs
in one year, as she does at present. Inc
first jump of the first flea was two hundred
times its own length, as it was the last Sum-
mer. That concubinal sinner, the urslne
sloth, who scorns at all the anathemas
against polygamy, kept ten or twelve wives
before Moses was born, as he will when we
are forgotten. There was iron enough in
the blood of the first forty two men to make
ploughshire, and there is this to-day, from
whatever country or men you select The
lungs OF Abel contained a coil of vital matter
$50 feet square, as mine; and the first inspl-
ration of Adam consumed IL inches OF air,
as do those of every adult reader. The rat
and the robin followed the footsteps OF Noah,
as they do ours.-Bayley.
The Youthful Bride.--The following beau
tiful and appropriate remarks on the " Youth
full Bride,' we copy from the Halifax (N.S.)
Pearl, edited by the Rev. Thomas Taylor:
Observe that slow and solemn tread, when
the young bride takes her welded one by
the arm, and with downcast looks, and a
heavy heart turns her face from "sweet
home," and all its associations, which have
for years been growing and Frightening, en-
twining SO closely around the purest and
tenderest feelings of the heart. How reluc-
tant that step, as she moves towards the car
riage; how eloquent those tears which rush
unbidden from the fountain
She has just bid adieu to home! She has
given the parting haMd-the parting kiss
With deep and struggling emotion she has
pronounced the farea0eU! and Oh how fond
and yet mournful spell the word breathes,
and perhaps tits the last farewell to father,
mother, brother and sister! ..a:.i......
Childhood and youth, the sweet morning
of life, with its "charns of earliest birds,
and earliest associations, have now passed.
Now commences new-a momentOus peri
cd Of existence. OF this she is aware. She
reads in living haracters-uneertainty, as
Stunning that where all were happiness
where home, sweet home was all in all unto
her. But these ties, these associations, these
enjoyments, she has yielded one by one,
and now she has broken them all asunder
She has turned her face from them all, and
witness how she clings TO the arm of him,
for whom all these have been exchanged
See how she moves on; the world is be-
fore her, and history to be written whose
pages are to be filed up with life's loveliest
pencilings, or perhaps, with incidents of af-
fecting interest; of startling, fearful record
Who can throw aside the veil of three score
years and ten" for her, and record the hap
py and sun-bright incidents that shall arise
in succession, to make joyous and full the
cup of life that shall throw around these
embellishments of the mind and the heart
that which crowns the domestic circle with
beauty and loneliness; that which sweetens
social intercourse, and softens, improves and
elevates the condition of society! Or who,
with firm and unwavering hand, can re-
silent weeping-of midnight watching -
stances of unrequited love-the loneliness
and sorrow of the mind, when neglected and
forgotten, as it were, by him who was dear
er to her than life-when all around was
drear and desolate, when the garnered stores
are wasted, and the flickering blaze of the
hearth wanes and goes out and leaves her
in solitude, in silence, and in tears But her
affections wane not, slumber not, die not
The brilliant skies may shed down all
their gladdening beauties-nature array her
self in gay flowers, bright hopes-and
friends, kind friends may greet with laugh
ing countenances and kind hearts; but it
avails naught. One kind look-one soft and
affectionate accent, the unequivocal evidence
of remaining love-one smile like that which
wooed and won that heart would enkindle
brighter and deeper, and lovelier emotions at
its fountain, than earth with all its splendor,
beauty and gay associations. 4
Oh young man, ever be to thy young
Drlue tnat WnaG tnOu SeemeSt now TO be !;
disappoint her not. What has she not given
up for thee! What sweet ties that bound
heart to heart and hand to hand, and life to
life, has she not broken off for thee? Prove
myself worthy Of all she has sacrificed
Let it ever be her pleasure. as now, to cling
with confding joy and love to thy arm
Let it be her stay. her support, and it shall
be well repaid. Hers is an enduring-an
undying love! Prosperity will strengthen
it-adversity will brighten and invigorate
it, and give it additional lustre and lowell.

wax faint and dropping at thy couch! When
thine own are falling, she will cling to thee
