steamer propelled at the Of six miles an hour
could easily osertake the fastest sailing vessels and
would be great auxiliary in ascending rivers and

duty is performed by sailing cruisers this coast,
than on any other we are acquainted with, from the
reasons just stated and the importance of steam
vessels is much increased by this difficulty.

from friend here, that she was to be mar

tear, "you have conquered. The love of

weeping, would have refused the boon, but
Mr.. Wallingfnrd was inexnrable, nor would
he suffer the ceremony to be delayed more
than day--the ample settlement he made
on his son fully reconciled Mrs. Benton to
the match.

p, "What a magnificent nuptial PRESENT."
exclaimed Mrs. Benton to her daughter, as,
on entering the chamber of the latter, at
Saratoga, they discovered a costly diamond
necklace, with perfumed note accompa-
.nying it. "Mr. Wallingford is indeed all
that is generous and noble~
The daughters cheek became tinged with
crimson, though smile rose to her lip as
she contemplated her lovers costly gift
At that moment her heart was torn by con-
tending emotions; but alas! she knew that
she could find no sympathy in her distress
from her parent.
Mrs. Benton was a widow, with no child
but her beautiful daughter. Aspiring. vain,
and mercenary, she resolved that Isabel
should make brilliant match, and for this
purpose the mother had brought her daugh-
ter 10 the Springs, where her loneliness
soon rendered Miss Benton the belle of the
season. Her charms had conquered among
others the millionaire of the year, middle
aged, retired merchant; and in obedience
TO her mothers explicit commands, was, on
the ensuing day, TO become the bride of
Mr.. Wallingford.
But Isabel, though feeling it to be her du-
ty to obey her parent, could not submit to
this doom without many and painful strug-
giles. Agar before she had met and loved
a young painter when on visit TO friend
in the country; and though they had not
met for many months, his memory was still
fresh in her heart, she felt that though she
might wed the wealthy Mr.. Wallingford
she could never give him the affection she
had already bestowed on the poor artist
As the day appointed for her union ap
preached, her feelings became more and
more acute, until now she could have flung
herself at her mothers feet and begged t.
be released from her engagement, oHly tina
she knew her parent would prove inexo
rable.
"Alasp thought Isabel, as her mother lef
the apartment, "there is no escape for m,
from this hateful alliance. And yet. Mr.
WalIingford is all that is noble and gener
ous--yet-yet ] cannot love him. Oh
Henry" she exclaimed, apostrophising he
absent lover, "would that you were here
But what do sayl For months he has no
written to me, and alas! cannot concea
from myself that am forgotten. No, it
sinful in me thus to think of one who ha
deserted me. Oh that ever he could for
get those dear, dear moments when W
walked together under the old avenue, Will
the moon simmered down through tn
leaves, and our hearts beat in unison wit
the music of all nature around US. Oh
Henry, dear Henry" and she clasped he
hands, shat ever you should forget thos
hours"
"Nor have forgotten them, dear lsabe

A BRIGHTER WORLD THAN THIS

Oh! when trod life's early ways,
Hope wing'd my fleeing hours,
saw no shadow in her rays,
No serpent in her flowers.
/ thought on days Of present Joy,
And years of future bliss,
Nor dreamed that sorrow could alloy
So bright world as this.
Alas! the fairy DIRE ans wove,
Soon from my fancy fled,
The friends who owned my tender love
Were numbered with the dead.
Upon their palid cheeks | pressed
Affections parting kiss;
They left Cor world of rest,
A brighter world than this.
Nor did the spacious world supply
Those ties of opening life,
False were its hooking hattery,
Keen vas its bitter strife;
And then first began to look
For purer, truer bliss,
And loved to trace in Gods own book,
A brighter world than this.
My wounded heart desired relief,
found the good l sought,
And now, in trial and in grief,
l feel the soothing thought,
That though the wording may despair,
When robbed of earthly bliss. ..
The Christian humbly hopes to share
A brighter world than this.

HE CAME TOO LATE.

lie came TOO late Neglect had tiied
Her consistency too long;
Her love had yielded to her pride,
And the deep sense of wrong.
She scorned the offering Of a heart
Which fingered on its way,
Till it could no delight impart,
Nor spread one cheering ray.
lie came too late AT once he felt
That all his power was DER!
Indifference in her calm smile dwelt,
She thought of him no more.
Anger and grief had passed away,
Her heart and thoughts were free;
She met him, and her words were gay,
No spell had memory.
lie came too late THE subtle chords
Z Oflove were all unbound,
Not by offence of spoken words,
But by the sights that wound.
She knew that life held nothing now
That could the past repay,
Yet she disdaned his tardy vow,
And coldly turned away.
He came too late Her countless dreams
Orhope had long since flown;
No charms dwelt in his chosen themes,
Nor in his whispered tone.
And when, with word and smile he tried
Affection still to prove,
She nerved her heart with woman's pride,
And spurncd his tickle love.
