A HUSBANDS LOVE.

Incidents of life occurring from day to
day, and we suspect, some not altogether d.
vested of fiction, are not untrequently to be
met with in the public prints, in which they
are heralded as instances OF the all.absorb-
ing and ever-enduring affection which burns
with eternal brightness in the bosoms Of
wives, mothers and sisters. But who has
ever before seen, in the columns of our pub
| lie journals, record exhibiting to the world
the equally intense and not less abiding de-
votion of husbands, fathers, and brothers
Such records are rare indeed-not, as we be-
lieve, that the latter instances are less fire.
quent than the former, but because there is
in them less to express the aimable feelings
of our nature, and excite that peculiar inter-
est which surrounds every thing halloWed
by female virtue or heroism.
The Lowell Journal relates case in point,
which, through succeeding years, had failed
to interest the pen of the chronicler. In a
grave yard, situated in q wild, rural place,
about mile from little village in that vi
cinity, stands very neat granite monument
1t is the only monument in the yard, and
stands by itself, over solitary grave, apart
from all other graves. The history of that
monument is interesting and melancholy in
the extreme. 1t marks the spot where lies
buried the young wife of one of the young
men of the village. He was married few
years since to one who seemed in every way
calculated to render him happy. AT that
time the prospects of the young couple bid
fair for q long life Of happiness and useful
ness. In a year or two after their marriage,
the small pox broke out and ragged in the
neighborhood. The young wife was attack
ed with this dreadful disease, and became
its victim.
The fears of the community prevented her
friends from attending her during her sick
ness. Her husband, physician, and one or
two attendants were the only persons who
were present to smooth down her dying pill
low. The same fears took away the accus-
toned forms of christian burial. Aspot for
her grave was pointed out in the grave yard.
remote from other graves, by the proper
authorities, and at the dark hours of night,
with none present but the husband, the ply
stefan, and one or two fearless friends, the
burial took place. There was no long train
Of kindred to witness the ceremony the
afflicted husband was the only relative, who,
at the burial, venturcd to shed the last tear
over the grave of the loved and the departed
Months rolled on, and black melancholy
still brooded over the young man, but soon
somewhat loosened its hold. Sorrow still
remained, but it was soon mingled with re-
'signation. He resumed his accustomed oc.
cupation, and seemed to forget the past
The past was not forgotten, however, nor the
object which the past had eEdeared to him.
Tie grave of his wife was solitary and alone.
Over that grave he resolved TO erect q monu-
meDt to her memory. That monume Mt, al
though blacksmith by trade, he chose to
plan and work with his own hands. He pro.
cured the rough blocks Of granite and COM

menced his pleasing task. Every leisure
hour ne could get was spent on his favorite
work. No other hand planned, and no other
hand than his own executed. Month after
month, alone and unaided, with no knowl-
edge of the art except what nature had
taught him, sometimes at MONDAY and some-
times at night, when others had left their
tasks, he toiled on, until his work was COM
pleted. That monument, which, as speci-
men of art is exceedingly fine, and would be
marks out the grave of his wife. While it
serves to call to mind the memory of the
dead, it speaks also of the constancy and
purity of affections which death and time
could not DESTROY.

Chase mcy be the snow-drops bloom.
Smiling DER its wintry tomb;
Sweet may prove the summer flower,
Clinging to its parent bower;
Fair the watter.lily blow,
Where its native stream may flow;
Film forms may haply dwell,
Buried in the cowslip bell;
But, alas these fade away
Autumn comes-and where are they2
Weeping may the willow grow,
Far and wide their shade may th!owi
Fresh the giant oak wave on,
When its rivals verdure's gone;
Flourish may the mountain pine,
Freely thrive the trailing vine;
Brake and thicket blossom round,
Green be all from bound to bound;
But their brightest leaves decay
Winter sweeps them all away!
But the Evergreen still waves,
When the tempest rants and raves;
When its sleet the lime tree dims,
Whistling through its naked limbs
Not leafof it is east.
As 10 plaything for the blast;
Firm i. bides the pel.ing hail.
