The Marriage Altar.

Judge Charlton, in recent eloquent
address before the Young Mems Library
Association at Augusta, Ga, thus sketches
the marriage scene:-- sg
81 have drawn for you many pictures
of fdeath; let me now sketch for you brief
but bright scene of beautiful life. II is the
marriage altar: lovely female clothed,
in all the freshness of youth and surpass-,
ing beauty, leans upon the arm of him, to
whom she has just given up herself forever
Look in her eyes, ye gloomy philosophers,
and tell me if you dare, that there is no
happiness on earth. See the trusting. the
heroic devotion, which impels her to leave.
country, parents, for comparative stran-
ger. She has launched her frail bark up-
on wide and stormy sea; she has hand
ed over her happiness and doom for this
world, to another's keeping; but she has
done it fearlessly, for love whispers to her
that her chosen guardian and protector,
bears manly and noble heart. Oh,
woe to him that deceives her! Oh, woe
to him that forgets his oath and his man
hood! t..-. ..bv
IIer wing shall the eagle flap, ags
Der the false hearted, si.v
His life blood the wolf shall lap, e,5
Ere his life be parted; p r.s
Shame and dishonor sit sa5eb
On his grave ever: gat
Blessing shall hallow it, 5alm0
Never! Oh, never! So
We have all read the story of the hus-
band, who in moment of hasty wrath
said to her who but few months before
had united her fate to his-''Ifyou are not
satisfied with my conduct, 60, return to
your friends and to your happiness.
Sand will you give me back that which
| brought to you!" asked the despairing
wife. "Yes," he replied, call your wealth
shall 90 with you'll covet it not" "Alas!"'
she answered, 81 thought not of my wealth
II spoke of my maiden affections-of
my buoyant hope-of my devoted love;
can you give these back to met" "No!"o
said the man, throwing himself at her feet
-"No! cannot restore these: but | will
do more-I will keep them unsullied and
unstained. will cherish them through
my life, and in my death, and never again
will forget that | have sworn to protect
and to cheer her who gave up to me all
she held most dear" Did | not tell you
that there was poetry in woman's look
woman's word! See it here! the mild
and gentle reproof of love, winning from
its harshness and rudeness, the stern and
unyielding temper of an angry man. All.
if creations farer sex only knew their wea-
pons, how many of wedlock's fierce bat
ties would be unfought much of un-
happiness and GOODNESS would be avoid q
ed!'' Ta e.I

And oh! what thought but this
Can e'er assuage the agonies
Of the last parting kiss!

Beside the dying bed,
When all the soul by grief is stirr'd,
And bitter tears are shed. i1 1

While bending Ger the tomb;
For oh! that hope, so bright and dear,
Can pierce its deepest gloom. |

The loved ones from our side: N.'

Our SAX Prospects-For several weeks we
have had scarcely any Salt on this Cay. The
supply has also been exhausted at Salt Cay
and at East Harbor the quantity is very small.
Many vessels have. in consequence, recently
left without cargoes, and this has happ' ned
for several years at this season; a clear indi-
cation that the demand for our staple is out
growing the supply. The reverse of this is
the case with the staple productions of the lar
ger Islands Of the British West Indies. And
it would appear certain that, so long as Great
Britain and the United States continue on
terms ofamity and friendship, will the demand
for our article be equal to its Increasing snp-
ply, if it do not vastly exceed it-a prospect
most encouraging to the present lease holders
OF pond property.
Our immediate prospects in silt raking, are
not only excellent, but rarely 50 for this period
of the year. Several persons commenced ra-
king on Monday, and in the course Of fort
night or so, if the drought continue, large
quantity of salt will be Oh hand.-1Hrks Island

SPRING.

How beautiful is Spring, the maiden Spring!
Whose hand all warm aGd bright draws forth the
flowers
Who dyes with rainbow tints the young birds
wings.
Who fills with forest scents the April hours
How beautiful she is; the years first shfIa. :,
Her gesture, like the antelopc's shy and wild
Her voice q song her eyes in pleasure drown'd:
And yet her fairest treasure meier is shown
In scents, rich blooms, bright skys, or running
river,
For streams may fail, and buds may die ere blown,
But that then Hope, whose eyes are like Che morn,
Sweet sister of the spring, is newly born,
Who looks forward for aye, and murmuteth fevcE
