THE MARRIAGE OF THE FIRST BORN.

The bell sounded Adieus were hastily
exchanged and loving kisses imprinted on
rosy lips, and still fonder parting words
trembled on other tongues, which must not,
could not be spoken, and she was left, the
bride of an hour, to be hurried-w whittier?
The gay party of attendants were driven
through the crowded streets, the ladies es-
corted to their homes by their gallant cava-
liers, and they in turn conducted to their
respective places of business, each wonder
ing, and perhaps wishing that the next to
be united by Hymen's silken tie may be
himself and the fair being who so lately
leaned blushingly on his supporting arm
Happy they who in the act of plighting be-
hold only the reflection of their own Joys,
and hear only the echo of their golden mar
riage bells
Turn we now from the careless spectator
who, in offering his congratulations, forgets
the parties, and returns to his home and ac-
customed duties, to contemplate another
home from which the light has departed, in
the marriage of the first born. How DESC
late now appears the old homestead as the
family returns from the nuptials to wander
through the halls and chambers where her
football once resounded ! and how silent as
contrasted with the hurry of preparation
which preceded the bridal! Then there
were smiles and tender words, and swift
feet, and ready hands, to do the bidding of
the bride elect How each vies with the
other In those delicate attentions, intensified
by the thought that soon the services it is
his privilege to render, will no longer be
required at his hands that she who has
grown up in their midst, will soon leave
them. to gladden. the heart of another =
No,o, what has been but an anticipation,
has become reality, and the silence which
seals the lips, and the sadness which sits on
the faces, and lowers still more heavily in
the chambers of the soul, testifcs to the
then and the now
The marriage of the first born How
the mothers heart swells with emotion, as
she realizes, as only mother can, the re-
Gently assumed responsibilities of her child
She knows what it is to go from the pater-
nal protection to the sheltcring wings of an
other, and can we wonder she has misgiv-
ings as to her darling's future ? that fears
lest the clouds of adversely should obscure,
should mingle with her hopes, that the sun
shine of prosperity may ever illume her path
way through life }? She feels the import of
the words ''in sickness and in health" and
has been taught by experience how much

life portion Can we censure her that her
eyes are surcharged with tears and her heart
burned with sorrow

MY FATHER.

BY HON. HENRY r. JACKSON. OF GEORGIA.
As die the cnbers on the hearth,
And DER the floor the shadows fall,
And creeps the chirping cricket for tn,
And ticks the death watch in the wall
see form in yonder chair,
Taat grows beneath the waning light
There are the wan, sad features-there,
TIE pallid brow and locks of white!
My Father when they laid thee down,
And heapcd the clay upon thy breast,
And left thee sleeping all alone,
Epch thy narrow couch of rest,
! krow not why could not weep
The soothing drops refuse to roll;
Anil oh that grief is wild and deep
Which settles fearless on the soul!
Butwhen saw thy vacant chair
Thine idle hat upon the wall
Thss book-the pencilled passage where
Thine eye had rested, last of all;
Tbztree beneath whose friendly shade
DFy trembling feet had wandered forth,
Thesvery prints those feet had made
S.hen last they feebly trod the earth;
Ard thought while countless ages fled.
9Thy vacant seat would vacant stand
Unvorn thy hat, thy book unread,
e-i!faced thy footsteps from the sand
AID widowed, in this cherries world,
t.i3c heart that gave its love to thee
To.S-!ikc vine, whose tendrils curled
= loosely sa.;,aa the sllli In. t. ee-.=es 8
OH Father, then. for her and thee,
Gushed madly forth the scorching tears,
And oft, and long, and bitterly,
Those tears have gushed in later years;
For, as the world grows cold around,
And things take on their real hue,
IT'S sad to learn that love is found
Alone above the stars with you.

and misses the kindly voice which was wont
to greet him. AT the table, the vacant seat
speaks eloquently in praise of the absent,
and the manly heart can scarce repress a
sigh as he remembers that his home is hers
no more.
| How oft does the words, ''till death do
US part" foated carelessly on the sisters
ears in seasons of festivity and rejoicing,
awakening no emotion in their bosoms.-
Now it brings strain of reflection which
unseals the fountain of tears, and the pent
up feelings so long represscd, burst forth in
passionate sobs. Fond memory recalls the
hours of childhood when, in loving compan-
ionship, they engaged in the same sports,
and shared the same duties, with one who no
longer enhances the enjoyment of the one by
her genial smile, and lig ghtens the burden Of
the other by cheering word. They real
ize, as they could not before, "the wealth
and worth" of that love she has pledged, and
the stability of that truth she has plighted
to the husband of her youth, "till death do
us part" and with the solemn words, a
prayer is waited heavenward, that when the
hour of separation does come, and the tolls
of life are ended, they may be accounted
worthy to enter upon 1.-THE rest that re-
mains," and be reunited,
"Where marriage vows are never spoken,
to part no more, no more forever!
There's an unwonted tenderness in the
tones of the little brothers as they speak of
their "sister" Their cadences are soft and
low, as if it were proclamation to utter that
beloved name in scarce audible voice.
They miss her caresses and sisterly Offices
as they return home from school or from
their street sports, and their mirth is chas-
tened by the thought that they hear no more

Yes. in spite of all our efforts, the shad-

darkness will gather over our homie, although

parents, sisters or brothers can bestow.--
Nature has donned her most gorgeous robes
in honor of the bridal, but over the enchant-
ed circle Of home broods .'the spirit of heavi-
ness" The sun is pouring his beams over
the earth, but they linger not on the dark
ened threshold. The voice of music is elo-
quent without, but ours are tuneless, and
there is no heart response to the echoes that
they awake. Oh there is sadness in the
marriage of the first born.
But there is joy also in the marriage Of

Anecdote of Old Ironsides,

The following anecdote is no doubt fa-
miliar to many of our readers, but is so we'll
calculated to make the rising generation
proud of the noble spirits who shed so much
lustre on their country's name during the
ever memorable war of 1912, with the then
proud mistress of the seas, that it will bear
republication at least once year, as long
as patriots are able to subdue conspirators :
The most brilliant naval action of the last
war was undoubtedly that of the old Ameri-
can frigate Constitution, a. commanded
by Commodore Stewart, when she captured
the two British corvettes, Cyane and Le-
want, of greatly superior force, each of them
being equal to the old-fashoned thirty three
frigates. The handling of the American
frigatc was throughout scientific and unex
ceptional.
In no manocuvcring could either of the
British vessels obtain position to rake the
Constitution Shift their ground as they
would, Old Ironsides was between them,
blazing away upon both vessels at the same
time. During the whole action, Stewart,
instead of mounting the rse-block, sat in
a more exposed situation astride the ham
mock netting. the better to observe the ma
noeuvering of his antagonists. The Cyane
was the first to strike to Brother Jonathan
not an unusual thing with British vessels
during that war. The first lieutenant came
in haste to the Commodore to announce the
fact.
1.-The starboard ship has struck, sir" said
the officer
"Iknow it, sir" replied the Commodore,
''the battle is just half won."
''Shall | order the band to strike up
yankee Doodle, SIR inquired the lieu
tenant.
"Here the Commodore took huge pinch
of snuff and then answered quickly:
Had we not better whip the other first,
sir? ?"
"Aye. aye, sir" replied tbeslieltenant,
taking the hint, and went to his quarters.
In short time afterward the Levant
lowered the cross of Old England to the
stars and stripes, and the battle was ended.
The lieutenant being somewhat rebuked at
his premature exultation upon the surren-
der of the first vessel, was rather shy of ap-
preaching his commander again; but Stew
art, beckoning to him, said with smile:
''Don't you think the band had better
strike up Yankee Doodle now, sir %
In an instant that spirit-stirring strain
was floating in the breeze. played as no 9TH
er than Yankee band can play it, and the
gallant crew shouted forth their cheers of
victory as no other than a Yankee crew
can shout.

DEATH OF LADY BYRoN.-We learn by the
Glasgow that on the 18th ult Lady Byron,
the widow of the great poet, died at London, in
the sixty-sixth year of her age. She was born
in 1894, and was the only daughter and heir of
Sir Ralph Milbanke Noel, Baronet. In 1856
she succeeded to the barony Of Wentworth. She
was married to Lord Byron in 1s15-the union
proving, as is well known, most unhappy to
both husband and wife, and he lived With his
wife only some thirteen days. Their only
child,
ssAda, sole daughter of MY house and heart"
was married to Earl Lovelace, and died eight
years ago.
The marriage of Byron with Miss MiIbauke
was one prompted by motives of interest.
Lord Byron, in one of his letters gives the
following description of Lady Byron during the
alton and friendship is ours! Without one
spark of love on either side, and produced by
circumstances which, in general, lead to coldness
on one side and aversion on the other. She is
a very superior woman, and very little spoiled.
which is strange in an heiress-a girl of twenty
peeress that is to be in her own right-an only
child and saoante who has always had her
own way. She is poetess, a mathematician,
and withal, very kind, generous and gentle, and
with very little pretenson."
Even at the wedding the thoughts of his FIRST
love-of Mary Chaworth of sAnnesley Hail.
whom he so POLITICALLY termed his alright
Morning Star Of Annesley," was present to his
Imagination. Annesley Hall and all its fond
associations foated like a vision before his
thoughts, even when at the altar, and on the
point of pronouncing his nuptial vows. A
marriage contracted under such circumstances
could not but be unhappy. The poet has al
uded to it in some of his most impassioned
strains of regret. Washington Irving says that
in one of bis manuscripts, written long after his
marriage, having accidentally mentioned Miss
Chaworth as 'smy NJ. A. Co." 'Alas," exclaims
he with a sudden burst of feeling "why do 1
say my2 Our union would have healed feuds
in which blood had been shed by our fathers
it would have joined lands broad aud rich it
would have joined at least one heart, and two
persons not Unmatched in years, and--aad-
and-what has been the result?"
1t is unfortunate for the late Lady Byron that
only by her union with Byron, and it's unhappy
results, is she known to the world at large Her
private life has been ruthlessly invaded, and all
her domestic troubles exposed.to the gaze of tho
world. It should be remembered that Byron
treated her in manner calculated to alienate
the affections of any woman, and that it was
the public odium following his treatment Of her
which induced him to leave England and live
in Italy.
Lady Byron took an active interest in phi
lanthropic and benevolent movements.
