AN AFFECTING INCIDENT.


The following touching incident is from
the New Mirror.
AN eminent clergyman one evening
became the subject of conversation, and d
wonder was expressed that he was never
married. That WONDER said Miss Pot
ter. 'was once expressed to the reverend
gentleman himself in my hearing, and he
told me a story in answer which | will!
tell you, and perhaps, slight as it may
seem, it is the history Of other hearts as
sensitive and as delicate as his own. Soon
after his ordination he preached once ev.
cry Sabbath for a clergyman in a small
village not twenty miles from Lonlon.
Among his auditors, from Sunday to
Sunday, he observed young lady. who
always occupied a certain seat, and whose
close attention began inSensbIy 10 grow
to him an object of thought and pleasure.
She left the church as soon as the service
was over, and it so CHANGED that he went
on for year without knowing her name !;
but his sermon was not written without
many thought how she would approve
il, nor preached with satisfaction unless he
read approb,tion in her face. Gradually
he came to think Of her at other times than
when writing sermons, and TO wish 10 see
her on other days than Sunday; bat the
weeks slipped on, and though he fanced
that she grew paler and thinner, he never
mustered resolution enough to ask her
name or seek 10 speak with her. BY
those silent steps, however, love had work
ed into bis heart, and he made up his
mind 10 seek her acquaintance and marry
her if possible, when one day he was sent
for to minister at a funeral.
The face Of the corpse was the same
that had looked up TO him Sunday after
Sunday, till he learned TO make it part
of his religion aad his life He was una
bic to perform the service, and another
clergyman offi;ia,ed and after she was
buried, her father took him aside and
apoIogizeI for giving him pain, but he
could not resist the impulse 10 tell him
that his daughter had mentioned his name
with her last breath, and he was afraid
concealed affection for him had hurried
her to the grave. Since that, sud he
clergyman in question, my heart has been
dead within me, and | look forward only
to the time when shall speak to her in
Heaven

The Waning Moon.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT,

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
I've watched too late; the morn is near,
One look at Gods broad, silent sky
Oh, hopes and wishes vainly dear,
How in your very strength we die!
Even while your glow is on the cheek,
And scarce the high pursuit begun,
The heart grows faint, the hand grows weak
The task of life is left undone.
See, where, upon the horizons brim,
Lies the still cloud in gloomy bars,
The waning moon, all pale and dim,
Goes up amid the eternal stars.
Late in flood of tender light,
She f1oated through the ethereal blue,
A softer sun. that shone all night
Upon the gathering beads of dew,
And still thou wanest, pallid moon
The encroaching shadows grow apace;
Heavens everlasting watchers soon,
Shall see thee blotted from thy place.
Oh, Nights dethroned and crownless queen,
Well may thy sad, expiring ray
Be shed on those whose eyes have seen
Hopes glorious visions fade away.
Shine then for forms that once were bright,
For sages in the minds eclipse,
For those whose words were spells of might,
But fater now on stammering lips.
In thy decaying beam there lies
Full many grave on hill and plain,
Oflhose who closed their dying eyes
In glief that they had lived in vain.
Another night, and thou among
The spheres OF heaven shall cease to shine,
All rayIess in the glittering throng
Whose lusle late was quenched in thine.
Yet soon new and tender light
From out thy darkened orb shall beam,
And broaden ill it shine all night
On g|istenng dew and glimmering stream.
