A SPIRITED BRIDE.-A couple were going
to be married, and had proceeded as far as the
church door; the gentleman then stopped his
intended bride, and thus unexpectedly address
I'd her:
"A1y dear Eliza, during our courtship
have told you most of my mind, but l have
not told you the whole. when we are married
| shall insist upon three things"
What are they!" asked the lady.
ain the first place" said the bridegroom,
al shall sleep alone, shall eat alone, and
find fault when there is no occasion. Can
you submit to these conditions!"
"Oh yes, sir, very easily" was the reply,
"tor if you sleep alone. shall not; if you eat
alone, | shall eat first; and as to finding fault
without occasion, that think may be prevent
ed, for will take care you shall never want
occasion.
The conditions being thus adjusted, they
proceeded to the altar, and the ceremony was
performed.

SKETCH OF MARTIN LUTHER.
BIZ THOMAS CARLYLE.

A coatse, ragged, plebian face /, was, with
great crags of cheek boncs-a large amount
OF wild, passionate energy and appetite! But
in his dark eyes were foods Of sorrow; and
deepest melancholy, sweetness and mystery
were all there. Often did they scom to meet
IN Luther the very opposite poles in mans
character He, for example, of whom Rich
ter had said that his words were half battles;
ne, when he first Gegan to preach suffered un-
heerd-oi agony. 30 DR.. Staupitz, DR.. S.su-
pitz," said he to the Vicar. Generel of his lor.
der' 81 cannot do it." DR.. Stsupitz, wise
and considerate maj, said upon ;his, "Well,
SIR Martin, If you must die, you must-but
remember that they need good heads up yon-
der' too. 10 preach, man preach--and then
I'VE or Gle, Nas it h2ppeas." So Luther
preachd and lived, and he became indeed. one
great whlrldwind OF energy,to work without
resting In this world; and also, before he died,
ne wrote very many books-books in which
the true man was-for in the midst of all ,bev
denounced and cursed, what touches of ten
oerness lay! Look at the Tsble-talk, for ex-
ample. We see in little bird, having a.

own It's wings, sleeps there SO still & fearless
-hough over it are the infinite starry spaces,
md the great blue Depths of immensity! Yet
/ Tears not--t is at home. The God that
made 1t too is therer" The same gentle
pirit OF lyrical admiration is ID other passages
't this book. Coming home finn Leipsic in
ne autumn season, he breaks forth into living
wonder at the fields oi corn. "How il stands
here," he says, "erect on its beautiful taper
em--anc bending its beautiful golden head
With bread in 1.-THE bread o: man sent to
'lm yet another year!" Such thoughts as
hese are as windows though which we gaze
nto the interior of the serene depths of Mar
in Luther's soul, and see visible across the
emPests and clouds, whole heaven o. light
Ind love. He might have painted, he might
nave sung-could have been beautiful like
Raphael great like Michael Angelo.

some time ago Col. spooner printed a pa
per at Sag Harbor, and was much encour-
aged by liberal merchant, who advertised
his wares in two long columns, specifying
every item of wet or dy goods, shovels,
mouse-trsps, stationery, &c. While this
was working magical,y among the villagers,
a rival merchant called in one day, and ask
ed, with nOnchaLant air, the charge of in
sestins a coupieof 1rueu. Tie was tod ffTty

paradcs directly under the long ADVERTISE
ment: 81 TOO: JOHN THOMPSON" The
joke took nightly, and more particularly as
JOHN Thompson had borrowed his idea from
a little sguaw, who used to cell her baskets
at the harbor. She had rival in larger
squaw, with loud voice, who would cry her
baskets with every necessary adjunct of de-.
scriptve eloquence. The feeble squaw keep
ing close at her neeis, would squeak out,

LIE TRISTE SOUVENIR.
Sweet May! we saw thy blooms depart
With sadness all too deep for tears:
Twas like the spr ng time OF the heart
That merges into later years,
Less full of happiness than when
Through youths glad scenes we wandered then
All! then our smiles were bright as thine,
Our joyance was as young and rare;
We loved 10 pluck thy flowers, and twne
Them round our brows and in our hair
Those flowers so beautiful, that bring
The sembance Of perennial spring.
Through balmy wales we Wandered then,
That seemed as pure IS fden-bowers;
The air was redoent; and when
The wild.birds sung away the hours,
Our youth and thou went hand in hand
As through fair and fairy land.
But now thy spendors all are gone,
And time has stolen cur youth away;
We wander utterly alone,
While chilling winds around us play,
Whose dreary influences impart
Something of GOODNESS to the heart.
Thy flowers are scattered by the breeze,
All chilled and blighted by the frost:
We gaze upon the leafess trees,
AS if in search Of something lost,
But all in yain--we search around
For that which can no more be found.
We seem to see youth disappear;
We ask at last some parting words;
We listen--but we only hear
The farewell music the birds,
For they, VS. thou and youths young prime,
Have gone TO seek some summer cline.
Like starry skies bocouded DER,
Like visions lost from memory,
Like flowers that fade to bloom nc more.
'-' Like treasures suEken iulhc sea,
So fade the days OF youth from view,
To wear no more their early hue.
Blu, thou, fair month! mayst come again
To greet us with thy warm embrace,
And oh, thou shalt not seek in vain
To find genial dwellng.place
We tain would welcome thee, sweet May
And clasp thee 10 our hearts to-day. L
