THE YOUTHFUL BRIDE.

Observe that slow ana sDleinl ICiut
when the young bride tkesher welded one
BY the arm, and with downcast looks, and
heavy heart, turns her face from sweet
bome,' and all lis essO-iations, whlrh have
for years been growing and Frightening,
and interiwining so closely around the pur.
est and tendercst feelings Of the hoart.--
How reluctant that step, as she moves to-
ward the carrage; how eloquent those tears
which rush unbidden from the fountain!
She has just bade adieu to her home!
she has given the parting hand--:he part
ing kiss! With deep and struggling emo
ton she has pronounced the FIR r1sI! and
oh, how fond, and yet monnful spell the
word breathes! land perhaps lis the last fare
we'll TO father, mother, brother and sister!
Childhood and youth, the sweet morning
ofllfe, with its charm Of earliest associa.
lions, have now passed. Now commences
"a rev period of existence. OF this she is
we'll aware. She reads in living characters
-uRcertaiaJassumng that whore all was
peace-where home, sweet hanle was all IN
all to her. But these tics, these associations,
the enioyments she has yiellcd, one by one,
and now she has broken them all asander!
She has turned her face from all, and wit
ness 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 Le written whose
pages are to be filed up with lle's loyeliest
penciIings, or, perhaps, with incidents Of
affecting interest, Of startling, fearful record!
Who can throw aside the veil even of'ihree
score years and ten for her, and record the
happy and sun bright incidents that sha!
arise in succession, to make Joyous and full
the cup Of life that shall throw around those
embellishments OF the mind and the hear
that which crowns the domestic circle with
beauty and oveiness; that sweetens social
intercourse and softcnS, improves and Gle
Yates the condition of society? Or who,
with firm and unWayering hnd can register
the h 1urs AMI days of aAecyiona,e and silent
weeping-ofmidnight watching! Who pen
the bligh,ed hopcs-the instances Of unre
Vlted love: the lnneliness and sorrow of the
contiiing heart;he deep, corroflng cares OF
the mind, when neglected and forgotten, as
it were by him who was dcarer u her ihan
life; when all around is dreur and dcsolate
when the gamered stores are wasted, and
the Pickering bIaze uplh hearth wanes and
and goes OUT and leaves her in solitude, in
silence and in tears! Bat her affections
wane not, slumber not, die not!
The brilliant skies may she'd down all
their aladdcning beaules-nature array her
se!fin gay flowers, bright hopes; and friends,
kind fieuds, may greet with laughing coun-
tenances and kind hearts; but it avails
naught One kind looh-one soft and at-
iecti0nate accent, the unequiyocal evidence
ofremaiuing 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 It's splen-
dor, beauty and gay associations.
Oh! young man, ever be to thy young
bride, then, what thou now seemest to be;
disappoint her not. What has she not Civ
en- up for thee? Whit sweet ties. that
! bound heart to heart and hand 10 hand, and
life to life, has she not broken OFF for thee?
Prove '.yself worthy of all she has sacri-
feed. Let il ever be her pleasure, as now,
to cling with con6ding JOY and love to that

itshall be well repaid. Hers is an enduring
and undying love- Prosperity will strength
en- it--adversity will brighten and lnyigor-
ate il, and give to il additional loyciiness
Should the hand of disease fall upon thee,
then wilt thou behold woman's loye--wo-
mans devotion! for ,hou wilt never witness
her spirits wax faint and dropping at thy
couch! When thine own are failing, she
will cling to thee like sweet vine, and DIFF
fuse around thy pillow those sweet lnfuen-
ces and attractions that shall touch the mas
{ ter springs and nobler passions Of thy nature
that shall give new impulse to life! Her
kind voice will be stiling thy heart--like oil
to thy wounds! Yea, she viii raise thee,
restore thee and make thee happy, If any
thing less than an angel arm can do it!
