MORO ON THE BRIDAL RINa.-A young gen.
tleman of fine intellect and noble heart was sud-
denly snatched by the hand of death from all the
endearments of life. Surrounded by every thing
that could make existence pleasant and happy
wife that doIized hm-children that loved him as
they only can love, and friends devoted to him, the
summons came, and he lay upon the bed of death.
But a few short years ago, she to whom he was
welded placed bridal ring upon the finger, upon
the inside of which he had few words privately
engraved The husband would never permit the
giyer to read them, telling her the day would come
when her wish should be graiifed, and she should
know the secret. Seven years glided away, and a
day or since, conscious that he must soon leave
his wife forever, he called her to his bedside, and
with his dying accents told her that the hour had
at last come when she should see the words upon
the ring she had given him. The young mother
took it from his cold finger, and, though heart,
stricken with grief, read the words, 7" have loved
thee on earth, will meet thee in Heaven"

The British papers speak freely upon the SUBJ

the bill to pay the losses by the rebellion, but re-
marked that the Government did not contemplate
the payment of rebels, but innocent individuals
