A Short story.

When Mary and were married we were
Young and foolish, for we had nothing to be
married with, but Mary was delicate, and |
thought could take care of her best. knew
I.had strong arm and brave heart to de-
pend upon. We rented chamber and went
to housekeeping. We got together a little
fi,rniture--a table, bedstcad, dishes-but our
money failed us before we bought the chairs
told Mary she must turn up the tub, for i
could not run in debt. No, no. 1t was not
long before our rich neighbor Mrs. Nj
found us out and kindly enough she supplied
us: half dozen chairs added to our stock.
They we're old ones, to be sure, but answered
lust as we'll for us. shall never forget the
facet those chairs put upon our snug quarters,
they never looked just right before. The la
bles are turned with Mrs. NJ. and me now
she has turned poor widow, but she shall
never want while have anything, neyer!'--
cried the old man, with bcaming face, 4
don't forget those old chairs
! All, now the secret was out. II was the
Interest of the old chairs which maintained the
poor widow. She was living upon the inter-
est and compound interest of little friendly
act done years befcpg waTa'it -sufficed for her
self and daughter.
How beautiful ii is to see how God blesses
the operation ofhis great moral law, 'love thy
neighbour and we should oftener see.it coule
we look into the hidden path Of life, and fine
that it is not sefinterest, nor riches, nor fame
that binds heart to heart The simple power
of friendly acts can do far more than they
1t is these, the friendly acts, the neighborly
kindness, the Christian sympathy Of one to
wards another, which robs wealth Of its pow

A LEGEND OF THE NIAGARA.

Nearly a century has passed. away since
the light canoe of Onawa glided over the clear
waters Of Niagara river. orsNehaska, the
Indian maiden, SKINNED with her light bark
over its calm bosom. Since then the hand Of
civilization has despoied these scenes ofgrand-
eur. The steamboat now approaches the
foaming rapids of its giant cataract, and the
busy hum of marshaling Improvements join
in the clamor of its laundering roar. How
changed / The dense forests once. .darkened
its waters, and the wild swan sported in their
quiet seclusion--the rude denizen of the viii
derness rcclined upon therock above its fright
full chasm, and watched the surges of the
angry waters beneath.
Spring had blossomed into the fulncss of
summer, the rosy hues. of morn gilded the
Eastern sky. The gddy songsters welcomed
it with their shrill carol, and the forest re-
sounded till its echoes swept along, mingling
its Joyful sounds with the thunders Of the
cataract--all nature seemed TO pour forth
anthems of joyous thanksgiving to the great
Ruler ofthc Universe. A light canoe darted
out into the stream, that thus reposed beneath
the tranquil sky and its fair burthen, the
Iloyely Nehdska, laid aside the paddle, and
her poetic soul drank of the bnchantments
with which nature thus surrounded her. The
irail bark with its unconscious adventurer
drtifed along faster with the increasing flow
of the current on which it was borne, ye
still Nehaska moved not-she thought not o
the danger to which she was fast approach
ing-but her thoughts were. far away in TIN
spirit land of her fathers: She knew not tina
the keen eye of Onawa had observed her
resistlessly borne towards the angry waters
nor perceived his strong canoe, as a speck ol
the water, in the distance.
The MARBLES hushed their notes, and tn
E cataract's roar seemed for moment to grow
! louder, as if 10 warn Nehaska of its iearfu
presence. She started from her trance, an
her eyes looked as if they would start fror
: their sockets, but with presence Of min
r that seldom iorsook her, she seized the pad

r struck boldly for the shore.

sMYRNA, Del, q'nURsDAY MORNING, MARCH e, z $50.

The strong arm of fOnawa had swept with
its huge stroke, his trusty bark to the rescue
of Nehaska, his fair bride. Not word was
spoken, but as he darted 10 the side Of her
canoe, she dropped the paddle and seized
hold,the side Of his--for moment they toss
cd upon the leaping waters-the next they
struck the shore. Onawa grasped by rock
that projected but few feet above, but Ma
haska had Just left Ter boat when his hold
slipped, and his canoe whiried with him into
the foaming waters of the rapids.
Nehaska reaching the firm footing Of the
bank, ran: swiftly TO the verge of the cataract.
Onawa had thrown aside the paddle and seem
~ HI be preparing himself for somes gfesa
decd. The canoe rushed d'wildly on bstTeen
the huge rocks that lift their heads from
among the foaming waters Nehaska gazed
it was but q moment and she fell upon the
flat rock as one dead-the canoe with 0nawa
had plunged over into the fearful abyss 81
waters below-she beheld Onawa spring for
ward, and her senses had reelcd with the fear.
ful reality.
Bound thus to earth with the strong bands
of nature, she moved not for a while, but her
eyes were set with a.glassy stare.
Soon the quickening pulses and the SLOW
and labored breathings throbbed and heaved
and she arose slowly to her feet. Pressing
her hand to her brow, she appeared once
more on the brink OF the chasm, and then start
ed back with a convulsye shudder.
.Thce Great Spirit" she gasped, ''has tool
from Nehaska the young chief O. fher bosom
and the angry waters howl his funeral song
Onawa, your Nehaska will come TO you il

aloud, as she rushed forward, but the strong
arm of chief, as he grasped with the other ;
stunted shrub, caught her. The shock threw
him from his foothold on narrow ledge o
rocks, and they both swung for an instan
over the frightful prccipice. In this extremi
