MI ISCELL A N Y
LADY Byron.

We some time since referred to the death OF
the wife of Jean Paul Rtcher, the great Ger
man: and now another item of a similar char
acter comes to us from Europe-the intelligence
that Lady Byron has at last followed her cele-
t,rated husband to the land of shadows. Her
life was far from happy, and the circumstances
OF her union with the poet were omlnous OF
what followed. Anne Isabella, only daughter
of Sir Ralph Milbanke, gentleman closely con-
nected by blood with the families OF Lord Went
worth, Lord Melbourne and other noble families,
was born May II, 1892, and on the "a OF Janu-
ary 1916, was married to Lord Noel Byron.-
He had addressed her during the preceding year,
and although his attentions were favoraoly re-
ceived she refused to yield to his suit There was
no rupture, however, of their friendly relations,
and a correspondence terminated in q renewal
of his Lordship's addresses, and the ultimate
solemnlzation of their nuptials. On the l4th
October 1914, Byron wrote to his friend Leigh
Hunt
81 am about to be married, and am, of course,
in all the misery of man in pursuit OF happi-
ness. NV intended is two hundred miles OF,
and the Efforts am making with lawyers, &c.,
&C., to join my future connections are, Tor q
parsonage of my single and inveterate habits, to
say nothing of Incidence, quite prodigious."
During his engagement he wrote in relation
to his connection with the young lady,
"What an odd situation and friendship is ours?
Without one spark of love on either side, and
produced by circumstances which, IN general,
lead to coldness Oh one side and aversion on the
other. She is very superior woman, and very
little spoiled, which is strange in an helress-a
girl of twenty-a peeress that is to be, in her
own right-an only child, and a saoante who has
always had her own way, She Is poetess,
mathematician, and, withal, very kind, gener'
GUS and gentle, and with very little pretension.
Any other head would be turDed with half her
acquisitions, and a tenth of her advantages. =.
s'Without one spark OF love on either side! =
There is the woful announcement, III which may
be found the explanation OF the long tragedy
which followed. "Half of her acquisitions"
would turn any other head: but bis own re-
mained absolutely unturned. The simple truth
was, that Byron was already in love, and at the
altar, uttered what it is impossible to regard as
other than deliberate falsehood. at the very
moment when be stood at the side of his new
made wife" it would appear that he was thlnk'
ing of Mary Chaworth, of Annesley, wnom ne
lad loved from his childhood. A hostile rate
had separated them, and they were destined
never to become man aud wife; but the old al
lection OF the young girls lover renamed, "a ana
he gave way bis hand without his heart. ihat
the whole ceremony was a farce and mockery
is perfectly plain. Byron spoke OF it with ter
rible sneer, and in terms SO coarse tnat we "in
not repeat them. The inevitable result followed.
The bridegroom and his bride took up their res

The Evening and the Morning-A Simili.
tude.

Evening! How can the pen portray its pleas
ing power 10 rest the weary and refresh the faint!
A welcome bounds from many sons of toll and
care-worn hearts togreetits coming, as they strive
to cast aside the chains of business and yield
themselves to peaceful pleasure in some dear re
treat.
Yes, many charms it has; but we will SYM
bolize 1t with time Ot ife Linked with the
morning, long night between, we see in them
the cradle and the grave. Twilight and zephyrs
the vesper bells and robbins chlrp; how like
the life the little infant leads unconscious in its
cradle; the light OF day just cleaning on its
Vision, and the low music Of mothers voice
soothing it to repose.
But see! the twilight deepens into shade, and
night begins to group her shining train in clus-
tering consultations. Bright fixed stars, and
planets Nearer home, with muIitndes unnum
bered, throng the skies. Each in its own
peculiar place reflects reflected light; and, as
they nightly burn, they seem to be
Forever singing as they shine,
The hand that made is divine"
We turn aside to see the Graded child; but be
has bounded into boyhood His life grown
darker from vexation, disappointment and re-
strant; but these will only magnify his mind
and purify the light of his young lfe Now, as
be enters the scholastic ranks, toll trims his
midnight lamp, until the light of knowledge, fed
by the oil of truth, illuminates his mind, and
leaves its heaven-lt halo on his brow.
AS years increase, we see him mount into the
majesty of man, mingling with the multtudes,
he finds societies and sects, arts, science and
trade open to give him place. Wisely he takes
his stand, and standing, shines. Starlike, be
ever watches while he works, and lends his
light to all who heed his ways.
Turn to the skies again; all through the night
stars have been rising; but now the morning
dawns and their light is lost in effulgent bright
ness. So man sinks into the grave; but morn
ing dawns upon the soul, even the light of e.
ternal day, making manifest the hidden things Of
darkness.
