 We replied in the affirmative.
 She does not look much like suicide, does she-one who would deliberately commit seF-murder !"
 Certainly not," we exclaimed. "And yet," he added, "she is murder ing herself slowly but surely every day. She is ffail. delicate creature. and not particularly healthy at the bes, of times. It is now damp, cold, raw day, and vet. she ventures forth in a thin, light dress. with shoes, the solss of which are as thick. as half dollar. Besides this, see how she. is corsetied.

ISABEL'S BRIDAL.
BY MRS. EMMA G. EMBURY.

Preparations were immediately com- menced for celebrating the nuptuals in a style of unwon,cd MagniGcence. Invita- | tinns to a very large number of friends 1 weru issued thr~e'~ weeks before the eve- ming appointed for the wedding; all that money could procure of rich and rare things was put in requisiton for the occa- sion. l was selected for one of the brides maids, and Isabel presented us with our dresses, which were of white brocadc, cm. br"idered with silver roses. During the short time which elapsed previous to the marriage, Isabel exhibited an almost child like joy, which called forth the censure of l these who consider such exu!aton as un- womanly and indeicate. But the conduc, of Colonel Marion was perfectly inexpli- cable. His moody and restless manner was ill-suited to a bridegroom, and once or twice l caught his eye fixed upon Isabel with an expression of such dark maigniy as made me shudder.
 One evening we were gathered round a cheerful fire, und Colonel Morton, at lsa l. bcl's request. had taken the guitar, when, as he stopped over his instrument in the act of tuning it, his vest fell partly open, and slender black chain, which he wore about his neck, became cn,angled in the screws. Not perceiving it, he raised him self suddenly, and by this movement drew from its eoncealmeHt small miniature, 1 which was attached to the chain. He at | first seemed discomposed, and was about to replace the picture hastily, but upon hearing lsabels exclamation of surprise, he turned and held il towards her. With | a ,repida,ion strangely in contrast with her former composnre, Isabel eagerly grasped the picture. It was the face of q delicate woman, with little beauty, but great sweet ness of expression, and as gazed on it, the features seemed no; unfamiliar to me. With merry jest ! looked mp to demand the name of whose image thus lay upon the bosom of a bridegroom, but as did SO I caught a glimpse of the same dark, re- vergeful expression in his counicnance, as his eye fastened wiIa serpent-like fascin- ation upon his bride. Fsabel's lip quiver- ed as she returned tho picture, and fain,ly repeated my question.
 It is the image of one whom have loved as shall never love again. replied Morton, passionatcly. of one who is now an angel in heaven-of my wife 2
 Your wife r exclaimed Isabel.
 Yes, my fair Isabel said he, while a sheer passed over his lip with the rapidity oflightning, had you asked me of my past life, you would have learned that when you were but babe in the cradle, was husband and father.'
 Isabel started, but sirove to smile as she replied, Il am older than you suppose, Walter, you could scarcely have been we'd ded so many years ago, or else time has forgotten to trace its characters upon your brOw.'
 Morton smiled gIoomily as he said, Shall tell you of fmy past history Isabel ! Methinks you should learn something of him to whom you have Plighted your faith, though prudence should have preceded your promisc.'
 There was half concealed sarcasm in this remark. which cut Isabel to the soul, but she only shUddered, and was silent.

 Throughout my long career; And streams of never-iailing wealth To scatter far and near. The destitute to cloihe and feed, Free bounty to bestow: Supply the helpless orphan's need, And sooth the widows woe. want the gerius to conceive,
 The talents to unfold Designs, the vicious to retrieve; The viriuous 10 uphold. Inventive power, combining skill; A perseverlng soul, Ot human hearts to mould the will, And reach from Pole to Pole. want the seals of power and place, The ensl2ns of command; Charged by the peoples unbought grace, To rule my native land Nor crown, nor sceptre would ask But from iny cOuntry's will, By, day, by night. to ply the task Her cup of bliss to fill. lwant the voice of ofhonest praise To follow me behind; And 10 be though ht Tn future days

 And earthly bliss song My last great want, absorbing all, ls, when beneath the sod, Ar The mercy of my God. And oh ! while circles in my veins OfIite the purple stream; And yet fragment small remains Of natures transient dream; My soul, in humble hope unscar'd, Forget not thou to pray, That this thy aDdnt may be prepared I'o meet tke Judgment day.

Washington Temperance Society.

ne w. empec6nce SOcIety m this city deserves all praise for their assiduous efforts to reclaim the unfortunate inebriates. They have added to their numbers within the last month of the old year 225 members, who have commenced the new year under the most happy auspices, and with firm resolution to abstain from all intoxicating drinks.
 There are some men in the ranks of this society, whose intellectual gifts are of su- perior order. They meet several times each week in Franklin Hall, which is de- voted exclusively to their use, where they exhort each other to perseverance, and so- licit pledges. The stories which they tell of their experience are sometimes extreme ly racy and entertaining. We are tempt- ed 10 repeat one oftlen, called the STARCH STORY, although we cannot pretend to vie on paper with the rich humor which voice and manner gave 10 the oral communica- ton.
 "I used to drink, and my wifc used to jaw me about it." What do you got drunk for?' said she. 'What do you jaw me for 2 said l. So we agreed and made firm bargain that would not drink and she should no, scold. For three long days we held on frn,-no drinking nor scolding. But on the third evening, being in company with some good fellows, l took horn, and when that was down, ! right off wanted a. mother. And in a very short time l found myself about how fare ye with twenty horns safe and snugly in my read-basket. By and bye it got to be time to 20 home, but ae vnu Co n v snNroco ' d, ,o.daJ ,o .>>o-. .-.. wife like the tooth ache. However, go I must, and so staggered along. hoping to find my wife abed. When reached the house, found it still lighted, and through the window saw wife up and waiting for me. Thinks l, r can't go in yet, but must wait till she gets to bed. So there l stood haR freezing in the cold rain tuO hOar& At last she went to bed. crept in at the back door, stumbling over paiIs and chairs, but finally succeeded in getting 10 bed without disturbing her. But after dozing awhile, ! awoke and found myself dry as fish. You know. brethren, how dry we all used to be in the night after we'd had a spree. My wife always knew what was ;hc matter with me, when got up in the night to drink cold water. hardly dared to get up for fear of my wife, but my thirst was greater than l could bear. So out crawIed, and grored very softly after the water pail. But no water was there. then felt round in the da,k, on the table and shelves, for something to cool my bur ming throat. Soon I found tin pan, fnll of liquid sOmething. seized and put i. tO my mouth, and took long and hearty draUght, the liquor at the same timo rnn. ming out at each side of my nsWuth down my cheeks.

her with an expression which l shall never forget, as he exclaimed, Isabel Athelstan, my revenge is complete You love me -~even now you would forgive the shame l have put upon you, and wed your lag gard lover. Yes, my debt is paid, and 1 leave to lingering wretchedness her who doomed to the grave of suicide my be- loved son Listen to me ' continued he, as with wild cry, Isabel started from her seat-' woman, listen to me! He whom your cruelty murdered was my son, the offspring of the pure affection that filled my hear-the child of my love-worship- ped even as was his mother in the midst of crime. From the pollutions of my own dark life rescued them. This afforded them luxuries for which princes might seek in vain; they knew not why the husband and father left so oft his home of peace and splendor. My wife per ished beneath the bligh,ing touch of dis ease, and l laid her in the grave sadly but accomplishing but when my son was stricken down in the midst of his young hopes, swore 10 be revenged on his mur- deress. Isabel, could have pitied you had you shown one womanly feeling or Pitying tenderness towards his memory, could have pitied you but no you mock ed him whom you had slain. Now go and tell your brilliant assemblage that Isabel Athelstan, the proud, the beautiful, the high-born Isabel A,heIs,an, phgI'ed her faith to Antoine Leclerc, the buccaneer! and was spurned like reptile from his path
 As he uttered those fearful words he strode away, and ere our cries could sum- mon assistance he had made good his re- treat. The whole house was, of course, scene of confusion. Isabel was in strong Mysteries, and we were too much overcome by the shock we had received, to use much discretion in our details of the catastrophe. Before the next morning the whole town rang with the tale, and while Isabel lay be- tween life and death, the story of her un- principled coquetry and its fearful retrbu- ton was in the mouth of every enc.
 Col. Morton, or rather Capt. Leclerc, was never again seen in New York, but his black flag was long the terror of West ln- dia traders, and many an ill-fated ship van ished in flame from the waters over which his blood-stained bark careered.
 What became of Isabel? you ask. She never again appeared in society. Bowed down by shame and sorrow, outraged in her pride as well as her affections, she took refuge in distant country town, and in strict retirement endeavored to conceal her disgrace. But it was not until time had destroyed her matchless beauty, and raised ! up another generation, to whom the events of her youth were but as legends of olden days, that she could feel herelf free from the brand which stamped her fair brow with shame. or forget the blight which had fallen upon her young heart

Anderson" replied the other, "lhe general
physiognomy bespeaks anything but common; to
answer you, therefore, must use your own words
'lhcre is something in her appearance superior to
the ordinary class of travellers"
And now the assembled party were at the Chap
ain's quarters, and were soon duly arranged
The Clergyman took his station and gravely, in a
set speech, discHnted on the divine origin and du-
ties of the married state. Among the lockers on
were the two English travellers; but as their pres
onco was attributable to an excusable curiosity, no
offence was Of course given. One of them how
ever, TO the establishment of Anderson, bcckor-
ing the supposed uncle to his side, put into his
hands paper, which he handed over TO the Cer-
gyman,who considered ii awhile very deliberately
"Your name, sir" said the minister, smngly
addressing the Captain, sis required"
Taking card from his pocket, Anderson res
pectlully gave 1t, and again resumed his position.
"Now," continued the Chaplain, after short
pause, 81 desire both Of YOU soemnly to consider
what you are about to do. If, Anthony Ander-
son, on your part, and the Lady Selma, Countess
ofB--, in Great Britain, on yours, are aware
of any just cause why you should not be joined
together, according to law. | adjure you 10 de-
clare it. You Anthony Anderson, have solemny
p!ighed your faith to her whom you hold by the
hand, and you, the Lady Selma, have done the
same to him to whom you have given yours, /,
therefore, in the presence cfthese assembled wit
nesses, pronounce you man and wife. Whom God
hath joined together let no man put assunder!"
Whether or not the astonished bridegroom salu-
ted his bride, we are not expressly informed; bu:
we are told that the two English travellers were
no strangers to the newly married lady, and had
been summoned on The occasion. Tamillarly APP
preaching, she extended her hand TO each, which
they respectfully kissed, as did The hitherto suppos-
ed uncle and aunt.
"Your lodyship is indeed an extraordinary char
actcr !! " jocularly remarked the ofthe genen en-;
'not less cxccntrc in your own way than Lady
Hester sonhope in hcrs'
"My lord,,' she replied, 81 have pursued my
whm successfully have been woocd neither for I'll
tie rank or wealh,but for myself alone & if have
praciced any deceit, | trust | shall atone for the
small fault by the future tenor of my conduct"
Perfect good humor closed that evcn,iul day and
the next forenoon the select party left Yves, Point
in the Albany steamboat, Between Albany Sara
logn and other watering places for travellers. they
were lost sight of; and aud as nothing certain has
been learned of them since, it is natural to con-
cIudc that the British Countess in her own right
has had an opportunity on her own territory Of
submitting her splendid rent-roIl to the jurisdic-
ton of her republican lord and master
