ROBERT Emmet and his Bride.

Twas the evening of a lovely day
the last day for the noble and i'll fated
Emmett. A young lady stood at the
gate, and desired admittance to the dun
geon. She was closely yelled, and the
keeper could not imagine who she was,
nor why one ofsuch proud bearing should
be a suppliant at the prison door
However, he granted the boon; led her
to the door, her closed it again, and the
lovers were alone. He was leaning
against the prison wall, with a downcast
head, and his arms folded on his breast.
Gently she raised the veil from her face.
and Emmett turned to gaze upon all that
earth contained for him-tho girl whose
sunny brow, in the days of boyhood,
had been his polar star-the maiden
who had sometimes made him think
"the world was all sunshine" The
clanking of heavy chains sounded like a
death knell to her ears, and she wept
like a child. Emmett said but little, yet
he pressed her warmly to his bosom, and
their feelings held a silent meeting, per-
chance, as it held in heaven, only where
we part no more. In a low voice he
besought her not to forget him when the
cold grave received his inanimate body
he spoke of bygone days-the happy
hours of childhood, when his hopes were
bright and glorious, and he concluded
by requesting her sometimes to visit the
places and scenes that were hallowed to
his memory from the days of infancy;
and should the world pronounce his
name with scorn and contempt, he pray
ed she would still cling to him with af-
fiction, and remember him when others
should forget.
Hank! the church bell sounded, and
he remembered the hour of execution.
the tears from his eyes, he separated
them from their long embrace, and led
the lady from the dungeon. At the
entrance she turned, and their eyes met
she could not say farewell; the door
swung upon its heavy hinges, and they
parted forever. No not forever is
there no Heaven.
At sunrise the next morning, he suf-
fered gloriously-martyr to his country
and to liberty. x x x
ssAnd one DER her the my rtle showers,
Its leaves by soft winds famed;
She faded midst Italian bowers.
The last of that fair band"
Twas In the land OF Italy-What a
magnificent scenel a pale, emaciated
girl upon her bed of death. Oh! it was
hard for her to die, far from home, in
this beautiful land, where flowers bloom
perennial, and the balmly air comes
freshly to the pining soul. Oh no,
her star had set, the brightness of her
dream had faded, her heart was broken.
| When ties have been formed on earth,
close burning ties, what is more heart
rendi1g and agGnizing to the spirit than
snatched away, and our love is given to
a passing flower" Enough; she died;
the betrothcd of Robert Emmett, the
lovely Sarah Curran. Italy contains
her last remains; its flowers breathe their
fragrance over her grave, and the lulling
tones of the shepherds flute sound a re-

Human Nature.

A good story is told of two brothers.
who lived a sort of cat-and-dog life to
their neighborhood's discomfort, for a
good many years, but who had been at
camp meeting, were slightly convert
ed, and both of them concluded to re-
form.
"Brother Tom" says one, when they
had arrived at their home, 'let US sit
down now, and I'll tell you what vel
do. You tell me all my faults, and III
tell you Of your'n, and so we'll know
how to go about mending of en-"
"Good!" says brother Tom.
"Well, you begin"
"No, you begin, brother Joe"

Crack goes brother Toms paw be
tween brother Jee's "blinkers," and
considerable of a scrimmage ensues
until, in the course of about ten min

To KEEP EGGs.-During a long voyage o
South America, ii was noticed how fresh the
eggs continued 10 be. The Steward was call
ed on for his secret. He said that as he pur-
chased his stock, he packed il down in sna II
boxes-raisin boxes and afterwards, about
once a week, turned over every box but Tie
one of which he was using. This was ALL
The reason Of his success is that by turning
the eggs over, he kept the yolk about. the
middle of the slbumen. If sill the yolk after
a while finds its way through the while 20 the
shell, and when it does so the egg will spoil.
Hens understand this fact, for they, as is well
known, turn over their eggs ON which they set
at least dlily.-Coun:ry Gentleman.

VIRTUE IN MAN.-We love to believe
there is more goodness than depravity
in human nature. When we see one
tear of pity drop from the eye, it gives
us more pleasure than would the finding
of a diamond. There is goodness-real
and unselfsh-in the heart, and we have
often seen it manifest itself, to the max
ing of a scene of sorrow the vestibule of
Heaven. For him who is always pick
ing out flaws in his neighbours character,
we have no sympathy. He reminds us
of those birds which resort to dead and
decayed limbs of trees to feast on worms.
In the character of most men we shall
find more good than evil, more kindness
than hatred-and why should we seek
to pick out the flaws, and pass over the
sterling traits of character? We hold
this to be true doctrine; to portray real
goodness and hold it up to the gaze and
admiration of all, while we suffer the
evil to remain in the shade and die. If
every picture of human nature were only
pure and beautiful, we are inclined to
believe that we should have thousands
of such characters living and loving
around us.
