The Young Bride.


the young bride takes her welded one by the
arm. and with downcast looks and heavy
heart turns her face from home,' and all its as
soclations which have for years been growing,
and Frightening, and entwining SO closely
around the purest and tenderest feelings of the
heart How reluctant that step as she moves
towards the carriage, how eloquent those tears

She has Just bid adeu IL her HOME! she has
] given the parting hand-the parting kiss!
With deep and struggling emotions she has
pronounced the FAREWELL. and oh, how fond
and vet mournful spell this word breathes
aud perhaps, a LAST FAREWELL to father,
mother, brot her, sister.
Childhood and youth, the sweet morning of
life, with its .charm of earliest birds,'' and
earliest associations, have now passed. Now
commences new--a momentous period of ex-
istence. Of this she is we'll aware. She reads
in living characters--uncerainty assuming
that where all was happiness where home,
sweet home, was all in all unto her. But these
ties, these associations, these endearments,
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 before
her, and history to be written, whose pages
are to be filed up with LIES loveliest pencil
lings, or perhaps, with incidents of evcntful
startling fearful record! Who can
throw aside the veil, even of sthree score years
and ten for her, and record the happy and
sun-bright incidents that shall arise in success
sion, to make joyous and full her cup of life
that shall throw around those embellishments
of the mind and heart, that which crowns the
domestic circle with beauty and loneliness;
hat which sweetens social intercourse. and
softens, improves, and elevates the condition of
society! Or, who, with firm and unwaverinp
hand, can register the hours and DAYS of affec-
.ionate and silent weeping-of midnight watch
ng! Who pen the blighted hopes-the instan-
'es of unrequited love-the loneliness and sor-
ow of the coniding heart--the deep corroding
ares of the mind, when neglected and forgot
han life--when all around is sere and desolate
--whenthe garnered stores are wasted, and
be wells d-ied up, and the Pickering blaze up

Ter in solitude, in silence, and in tears? But
Ter affections wane not. slumber not, die not!
The brilliant skies may shed down all their
beauties; nature array herself in
