THE BRIDE.

She stands at the altar-a trusting,
happy maiden. Bedecked in a queenly
robe of white, with simple veil flowing
gracefully from plated braids, and lean
ing with virgin purity and innocence up
on the arm Of her early choice, she awaits
with trembling joy, the words that proceed
from the lips of the "man of God y" L
pronounce you IN n and wife.
flushed into sacred, holy stiffness, is.
the surrounding crowd, as they gaze upon
the solemn ceremony which binds forever
heart to heart.
The prayer is ended, the VOWS register
ed by winged angels on record, a blessing
has been invoked from above, and the holy
man speaks in clear, distinct voice, the
solemn words W hom God has joined
together, let no man put assunder.
IT'S over-the beautiful rite of marriage
has been performed, and the once free
maiden, now stands in the relation of wife.
What new era is open before her-what
new charge is she called to serve No lon
ger must self preside, but an aim to make
that companion happy she hath taken 'for
better or for worse" should become the
queen of her affection.
The bride-ah what cluster of digni-
fed and holy duties encompass this heaven
born name, and who that is called to meet
the same, can lightly promise those vows
which alone win this title.
'Tis not during the few brief moments
perchance, while the incense of excited
joy animates the breast, neither while the
golden banner Of hope shines above the
magic of the scene, nor while the gray hair
ed priest bids you "love one another,
that sacred sentiment should then alone
stir the channels Of the breast. No! it is
before this, and in the home of the heart,
that high and lofty resolution should be
deeply engraven, ere it wresties with pre-
sent bliss.
Let her, then, who resolves to link her
fate with another, pause upon the thres-
hold of thought.
May she remember that she alone, is to
work out the salvation of her welded peace,
and that peace secured by persevering
walk in the path of duty, viii, in the end,
bequeath to her the richest legacy. May
she remember that she is about to enlist
upon service for life, that she has both
to drive through the fowery pastures of
Joy, and also to paddle a canoe upon the
troubled waters of grief
Before her are the sunbeams and shad-
ows, and ere she assents to the words, '.Do
you primise, let her vows have been
weighed with strength from the mercy
seat, and thus in becoming bride of earth,
may she become fitted for that more glo-
rious reunion in heaven.

How Murat Died.

The sentence of the military commits
sion was read to him with due solemnity.
lie listened to it, as he would have listen
ed to the cannon of another battle during
his military life, without emotion or bra
vado. He neither asked for pardon, for
delay, nor for appeal. He had advanced
OF his own accord toward the door, as if to
accelerate the catastrophe. The door
opened on narrow esplanade lying be-
tween the towers of the castle and the
outer walls. Twelve soldiers, with loaded
muskets, awaited him there. The narrow
space did not permit him to stand at
sufficient distance to deprive his death of
its horror. ,Murat, in stepping over the
threshold of the chamber, found himself
face to face with them. He refused to
haveshis eyes bandaged, and, looking at
the soldiers with firm and benevolent
me suffer by taking bad aim. The narrow
space compels you almost to rest the muz-
zles ofyou muskets on my breast; do not
tremble do not strike me in the face aim
at my heart-here it is"
As he spoke thus he placed his right
hsRd upon his coat to indicate the position
of his heart In his left hand he held a
small medallion, which contained in one
focus of love the image of his wife and four
children, as if he wished thus to make
them witnesses of his last look He fixed
his eyes on this portrait, and received the
death blow in the contemplation of all he
loved OF earth. His body, pierced at so
short di stance with twelve balls, fell,
with his arms open and his face toward
the earth, as if still embracing the king
dom he once possessed, and which he had
come to re-conquer for his tomb.
They threw his cloak upon his body,
which was buried in the Cathedral of Piz-
ri. Thus died the most chivalrous soldier
OF the imperial epoch, not the greatest,
but the most heroic figure among the
champions of the new Alexander

Splendid Houses in New York.

As afording some idea Of the extent to
which the merchant princes Of New Y orlh,
have invested in private mansions, it is
stated thai there are are at least dozen
houses in that city, which cost from one
hundred to one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars, liyaling in maguifcence al
most any OF the royal palaces Of Europe,
and inferior only in point OF magnitude
The journal OF Commerce thus speaks Of
several of them:
One of our most elegant houses is that
of Charles y. Heckscller, just completed.
on the corner Of Fifth avenue and Thir-
teenth street, and which is said to have
cost in the neighborhood Of one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, although the

The furniture is in a corresponding style

Prob bly, the most elegant dwelling in

The residence of Hoses Taylor is a
dwelling fitted up in the most gorgeous

THE TONNAGE OF THE LAKES.-The
total steam and vessel tonnage built on the
Western Lakes in 1854 was 40, ,7S4 tons.
In 1856 there were added to the Lake ma
rine 81 ,427 tons. In the present year the
tonnage reported is $3.50. The cost of
steam tonnage for the two years is estilna-
ted at 81, ,527 900, and of the sail vessels
at S2,SlT,750, making total investment
of S4,344,45O- This increase is aston
ishing, and there is nothing in the history
of commerce to furnish aparallel. As the
Western States become settled, and their
resources developed, additional facilities
are required for transporting to market
their surplus production, and enormous as
is the increase from year to year, the ton
mage is now barely equal to the wants of
trade.
