DARK HOURG.

There are dark hours that mark the his.
tory Of the brightest years. For not a
whole month in many of the millions OF
the past, perhaps, has the sun shown bril-.
liantly all the time.
And there hare been cold and stormy
days in every year. And yet the mists
and shadows Of the darkest hour were
dissipated and fled heedlessly. The cru.
elest of the ice fetters have been broken
and dissolved, and the most furious storm
loses its power to harm.
And what a parable is this in human
life-of our inside world, where the heart
works, at its destined labors. Here, too,
We have the overshadowing Of the dark
hours, and many a cold blast chill the heart
to its core. But what matters it! Man
is born a hero, and it is only by darkness
and storms that heroism gains its great
est and best development and illustration
then it kindles the black clouds 10 a
blaze of glory, and the storm bears it more
rapidly on to its destiny. Despair not,
then; neither give up; while one good
power is yours, use it. Disappointment
will not be realized. Mortifying failure
may attend this effort and that one-but
ONLY BE HONEST AND STRUGGLE ON, and it
will work well.

BTIIE GOOD.

Inc " S7~ci distinction among men
IS not in position nor posseSSion-it i.
not in the circumstances of life, but in the
conduct.
1t matters not how enyiablo position
man occupies, nor how much wealth he
has in store, if there be defects ifss.is be-
havior, he is not entitled to that cSnsid-
Grafton and respect due to one who is
his superior IN moral point Of view,
though he possesses neither riches nor
honor.
1t is not that which gives US place, but
conduct which makes the solid distinc-
ton. We should think no man above us
but for his virtues, and no man below us
but for his vices Entertaining this view;
we would seek to emulate the good, tho
it be found under coarse exterior, and
pity the evil, though it be clothed in the
best garb and dwell in luxury. We
would never become obsequious in the
wrong place.
Call no man mean, low, or vulgar be.

real manhood he may be much superior

The yirtuOus and high minded sons of

Interesting Wedding Party.

In the city Of Lexington, on the eve
ming of August 9Th, was witnessed such
a Wedding party and such a marriage
ceremony as perhaps never occurred in
the United States, certainly not in the
State of ofKentucky. Mr. John Blount the
bridegroom. is deaf mute, who was
brought up in Alabama, but received his
education at the Kentucky institution for
the Deafand Dumb at Danyille, where he
IS at present an accomplished and highly
esteemed instructor. He is a tall and fine
looking specimen of man, and is a gen
tlemen in every sense Of the word. Miss
Lucrela Ann Hoagland, the bride, is also
deaf mute. Sne was educated in the
Institution at DanyilIe, and would pass
for a beautiful and accomplished lady in
any circle Of cociety. Mr ad4 Mrs Wm.
Hoa8Iand, the parents Of the bride, at
whose house the marriage took place, are
also both Of them deaf and dumb mutcs
They received their education some 25I
or thirty years since at the same Inslitu-
ton. They have three other children
two OF whom hear and talk; their young
est, little boy Of nine years old, is, like
the bride, a mute, and expects before long
to go to the same Institution, to obtain
that inestimable bIessng-a good educa .
-Ion-which his father, mother, and sis.
Ter have received before him.

WHIsTMNG YANKEE DOODLE IN Eng
LAND =. Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, ir
his adress at the Boston Musical FeSli
val. told the following lnoidenl:
During the negotiation at Client, oI
that treaty Of peace to which l have allu,
ded. a festival or banquet, or II NIGH
have been ball, was about to take place
at which it was proposed 10 pay the Gus
tomary musical compliment to all the
sovereigns who were either present or
represented on the occasion. The
sovereign people of the United States
represented there, as you remember, by
Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Bayard, Mr.. Clay, Mr..
Jonathan Russell, and Mr.. Gallalin
were, of course not to be overlooked,
and the musical conductor or hand mas
ter Of the place, called upon these com
mssioners 10 furnish him with our ma
ticnRl air.
Our national air." said they, ais Yam
kee Doodle"
yankee DoodIe!' said the conductor
"what is that. Where shall ind it!-
BY whom was il composed! Can you
supply me with the score!"
The perplexity of the Commissioners
may be better conceived than imagined.
They we're fairly attheir wits end. They
had never imagined that they would have
scores Of this sort to settle, and each
turned to the other in despair. AT last
they belhought them, in happy mo.
menl. that there was a colored servant of
Mr.. Clay's, who like many Of his race,
was a irSt-rate whistler, and who was
certain 10 know Yankee Doodle by heart.
He was sent for accordingly, and the
problem was solved without further de-
lay. The band-master jotted down the
air, as the colored boy whiStled it.
"And before night, said MIR. Adams,
Yankee Doodle was set 10 so many
parts that you would hardly have known
it, and itcame out the next day in all the
pride, pomp, and circumstance of viol
and hautboy, ofdrum, trumpet, and Gym
bal, to the edifcation of the Allied Sow
ereigns Of Europe, and the glorifcatioE
Of the United SoVtreigns of America.

HAPPINESS OF WORKING MEY.-The
situation or social position Of the poor
and by that word we mean the laboring
popuIation-is by no means SO deficient

as many are led To- believe. The me-
chanics," says Lord Byron, "and work
ing classes who can maintain their fami
lies are, my opinion, the happjest bo ly OF
men. Poverty is wretchedneSs; but it is
perhaps, to be preferred 10 the hearlless
unmeaning dissipation Of the higher or

but why should they care for the penni

Alas! how hard it is to be thus cast upon
the world, friendIess, and beloved by
none--none--none!
And he buried his face in his hands,
entirely overcome by the intensity of his
feelings.
None, Charles?' said a clear silyery
voice behind him, while hand was gent
y laid upon his shoulder.
He started, and turning round, said,
yes, yes, Helen, pardon me, l spoke
unthlnklngly. You still love me, he ad-
ded inquiringly.
1 do, Charles, and my father
yes, your father, my noble benefactor,
Helen. He still loves me-.
Then why leave us, Charles?' said she
in tender tone.

Farewell said be.
And imprinting a kiss upon her rosy
lips, he tore himself away. In another
hour he had quilted the house he had
spent so many happy days with Helen.
Charles Elliston was dependent upon

found one day by him when about four
years old, wandering about the streets of
The city, lost child. He kindly took him
home, and used every endeavor to dis
cover his parents, bGt all to no purpose.
Finding his inquiries useless, he raised
and educated him as his own son.
Unlike her husband, Mrs. Merton was
an aristocratic, proud spirit, which could
not bear one whose birth was so uncer
ain as that of young Elliston. She had
llifused some of this spirit into her eld-
,st daughters, but Helen, the youngest,
