POETRY
FOR THE COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT.
A MAY MORNING WALK
On THE BANKS OF THE SusoUEHANNA.

IT'S morn, and the mountain, the valley
and stream,
Are clad in the light of orient beam,
And the green Of the meadows is glistening
through
The fast failing drops of the silvery dew.
From the bondage of winter hath nature
awoke,
And away from the chains that oppressed
her hath broke
In the glow of the sun she exults TO be free,
And holds thro' her empire a grand jubilee.
IT'S sweet on the bright SusqueNanna to
: stray,
When the mists from the mountains are flee
ing away,
And wOOd-nOtes are cheering its waves as
they glide
And Flowers are adorning its verdurous side.
The wild pinks with crimson are fringing
the bank,
And the cowslips with yellow the meadow
turf dank (,
While sweet-scented clusters Of woodbine
are seen
On the verge Of the wood mid the thicke
Of green.
The flowers Of the turf, and the bloom o
the tree,
Are filed with the hum Of the wandering bee
And the air is all freshness and fragrance
while floats
On its bosom, the joy of the birds mellow
notes.
Hark list to the varied lay of the thrush,
And the song Of the wood,lark conceald il
the bush;
While the gold-fnch and robin their carol
divine
Pour sweet from the boughs of the elm an
the pine.
Oh how does the spirit exult at the sigi
OF the beauties of spring in a merning S
bright,
Forgetting ,amid so much verdure and bloom
That this is a world of the curse & the toni
How strange so much sin, and misfortur
and care
Should dwell in worldso enchantingly fai
That the hearts of its lords keenest angus
should ring,
While the birds the air so exultingly SIM

THE NATURE OF BETRoTHMENT,
BY THE REV. J. NJ. DAVIS.

What is the nature of betrothment? ?
And what are the circumstances which will
render it null and void.
First-I remark thata matrimonial en-
gagement does not consist in any Of the ci-
Whites and courtesies Of life which gen
tleman may extend to lady.
1t is not unfrequently the case however,
that these are mistaken for declarations Of
love and the announcement is made at once
that such persons.are engaged. Such is the
imprudence of friends often, and more fire.
quently of the lady herself that the COM
mon politeness and attention, which are ev-
er due between the sexes, are construed into
proposals of ofmatrimony, ga yonng gentleman
hears the report of his engagement while,
as vet, not even the dream of the thing has
passed through his own mind. By such
imprudence the lady sewers herself from
the society, perhaps of an honorable and
polished mind, and brings upon herself and
friends the modification and disappointment
which would inevitably follow in such ca
ses. If gentleman attend lady to church
if lie escort her to the public assembly i
he walk with her in the street; if he occa
sionally visit her for her good society, th'

manner her acceptance of his proposals.
But if after due considerations, and inquiry
and deliberation, she is conducted to con-
trary conclusion, she should lose no time
in informing him of the fact, in a way
least likely to wound his sensibilites or
mortify his pride. She will consider it, too,
both dictate of modesty, and prudence,
aud honor, TO disclose the circumstances to
no living being.
Fifth-A matrimonial engagement, then
is when the parties, having made mutual
disclosures of affection for each other, in
view of such disclosures bind themselves
by promises, to become each others we'd
ded companion for life. There must be u
contract formed in which the parties pledge
themselves TO each other for life, or there
can be no matrimonial engagement. No
thing short of this can be accounted be-
trothment, and nothing more necessary to
perfection.

Singular VerifcatiOn Of Dire ana
letter from Hamburg contains the following
curious story relative to the verifcation of
dream. 1t appears that a locksmith'S ap"
prentice one morning lately informed his
master Claude Soller) that on the previous
night he dreamed that he had been assas-
sinated on the road to Bergedorf, little
town about two hours distance from HAM
burg. The master laughed at the young
mans credulity and to prove that he had
little faith in dreams, insisted upon sending
Immediately to Bergedorff with lao six
dollars, (g22 ss, (which he owed 10 his
brother-in-law, who resided in the town.
The apprentice, in vain implored his mas
ter to change his intention, was compelled
TO set out at about l / o'clock. On arriving
at Billwader, about half way between
Hamburg and Bergodorff. ha recnllected
his dream with terror but perceiving the
baillie Of the village at little distance, talk=
ing to some Of his workmen, he accosted
him with his singular dream; at the same
requesting that, as he had money about his
person, one of his workmen might be al
lowed to accompany him for protection
across small wood which lay in his way.
The baillie smiled, and in obedience to his
orders, one of his men set out with the
young apprentice.
The next day the corpse of the latter
was conveyed by some peasants to the ball
lie, along with reaping hook, which had
been found by his side, and with which
the throat of the murdered youth had been
cut. The baillie Immediately recognised
the instrument as one which he had on the
previous day given to the workman who
had served as the apprentices guide, for
the purpose Of pruning some willows. The
workmen was apprehended, and, on being
confronted with the body Of his victim,
made full confession Of his crime, adding
the recital of the dream had alone prompted
him to commit the horrible act. The as
sassin, who is 25 years of age, is native
of Billwader, and previously to the perpe-
traton of the murder, had always borno
anirreproachable character.

creature who stood by me, shut her eyes
convulsively, clung with desperate strength
to my arm, and shrieked as if her heart
would break. A few minutes and the storm
was upon US. During the height of its fury
the little girl silently raised her finger to the
precipice that lowered above us. AS
looked up, an amethystine fame was quiv-
ering upon its grey peaks, and the next
moment the clouds opened, the rocks tot
tered to their foundations, a roar like
groan of the universe, filled the air, and |
felt myself blinded and thrown knew not

turned, the violence of the tempest was a.

fainter murmurs from the distant hills.
arose and looked tremblingly and al
most deliriously around me. She was
there, the dear idol Of my infant love, stretch
ed out upon the wet green earth. After a
moment of irresolution, went up and look
ed upon her. The handkerchief upon her
neck was slightly rent, and single dark
spot upon her bosom told where the path Of
death had been. At first clasped her to
my breast, with cry of agony, and then
laid her down and gazed into her face, al
most with feeling of calmness. Her
bright disshevelled rnglets. clustered sweet
| ly around her brow; the look Of terror had
faded from her lips, and an infant smile was
pictured most beautifully there; the red rose
tinge upon her cheek, was as lovely as in
life; and, as | pressed it to my own, the
fountain of tears was opened, and | wept as
if my head were waters. l have but dim
recollection of what followed. l only know
! that remained weeping and motionless

Many years have gone by upon theil
wings of light and shadow, but the scenes
have portrayed, still come over me, at times
with terrible distinctness. The old oak ye
stands at the base of the precipice, but it:
limbs are black and dead; and its hollow
trunk looking upwards to the sky, as
' calling to the clouds for drink" is an EN-
blem of rapid and noiseless decay. A yea
ago visited the spot, and the thoughts o
by-gone years came mournfully back to me
thoughts of the little innocent being VIII
fell by my side, like some beautiful tree c
spring, rent up by the whirlwind, in tn
midst of its blossoming. But remember
ed and Oh! there was joy in the memory
that she had gone where no lightning slun
bers in the folds Of the rainbow cloud, an
where the sun-lit waters are never broke
by the storm-breath Of Omnipotence.
