BYRoN's MARRIAGE.-Miss Martineaa contrib
utes to the latest Atlantic excellent article on
Lady Byron, proving the latter had more real
heart than the poet of sentiment and of passion
her husband. The following account of the
marriage will interest all readers.
They were married on the End of January.
The wedding day was miserable. Byron awoke
in one OF his melancholy moods, and wandered
alone in the grounds till called to be married.
His wayward mind was full of all the associa
tions that were least congenial to the day. His
thoughts were full of Mary Ohaworth, and the
old scenes in his life he fancied he loved because
he was now leaving them behind He declared
that his poem of "The Dream" was true pic
ture of his wedding morning; and there are cir
cumstances, not told in his Life" which rem
der this probable. After the ceremony and
breakfast, the young couplet left Seaham for Sil
Ralph's seat at Halnaby. Towards dusk OF tha,
winter day the carriage drove up to the door
where the old butler stood ready to receive his
young lady and her bridegroom. The momen,
the carriage door was opened the bridegroom
jumped out and walked away. When his bride
alighted the old servant was aghast. She came
up the steps with the listless gait of despair
Her face and movements expressed such uttel
horror and desolation that the old butler longed
to offer his arm to the lonely young creature, al
an assurance OF sympathy and protection. Var
ious stories got abroad as to the cause of this
horror, one probably as false as another; and
for his own part, Byron met them by a false sto.

The INTAMY OF SECESSION N.-With a view to
prejudice Southern men against remaining loyal
to the Union, the Secessionists style all submis-
sionists who dare not rush into their mad
schemes of Disunion. They are the submission
lists, and they are the towards, who ingloriously
hed, and left everything in the hands of North
ern members of Congress. The Infamous trait
ors have conducted the whole conspiracy with
the cunning of Burr, and the infamy of an Ar
mold. These Secessionists themselves brought
this disaster upon the country. They have
made the wharves silent in all the Southern ci-
ties, they have made all of our work shops idle,
our mechanics paupers, and our laborers PEN
sioners upon the bounty of their fellow country
men. They are the very men who, for years,
have kept up the mad-dog cry of niger, niger,
and with it they have brought this great country
to the verge of ruin. The hell-deserving trait
ors broke up the Charleston Convention in a
row. They defeated the nomination of Douglas !;
and they prevented the election of Bell and Ev-
erett, whom they could have elected, all because
they wanted sectional collision, and pretext
for breaking up the Government. These vile
Southern Democrats moved Heaven and Earth,
to accomplish the election of Lincoln and Ham
lin, and now. with the efrontery of the Devil,
they ask us Union men of the Border States to
become participators in their treason, to forswear
ourselves and our obligations to the Constitution
and Laws of our country. The infamous Williams
have sought to involve the country in civil war,
to destroy the integrity of the Union and to
degrade the nation in the eyes of the world-all
to subserve their own personal ambition, and to
build up petty Empire for their individual ag-
grandizement. Roasting the leaders of the con-
spiracy in He'll, for one thousand years, would
not be degree of punishment equal to their
crimes !-TKnoxville Whig.

From the Dublin U,siuersity Nagassne
SPRING.
flush of green is on the boughs,
A warm breath panteth in the air,
And in the earth a heart-pulse there
Throbs underneath her breast of SHOWS:
! Life is astir among the woods,
And by the moor, and by the stream,
They year, as from torpid dream.
Wakes In the sunshine on the buds;
Wakes up in music as the song
Of wood bird wild, and loosen'd rill,
More frequent from the windy hill
Comes greening forest alsles along;
Wakes up in beauty as the sheen
Ofwoodland pool the CLEANS receives
Through bright ao~ers, ever braided leaves,
Of broken sunlights, golden green.
She sees the outlaw'd winter stay
Awhile, to gather after him -
Snow robes, frost-crystalPd diadem,
And then in soft showers pass away.
She could not love rough winter well,
Yet cannot choose but mourn him now;
So wears awhile on her young brow
His gift-a cleaning icicle.
Then turns her, loving to the sun,
Upheaves her bosom's swell to his.
And, in the joy of his first kiss,
Forgets for aye that sterner one:
Old winters pledge from her he reaves-
That icy cold, though glittering spar
And zones her with green cymar,
And girdles round her brow with leaves;
The primrose and wood-violet
He tangles in her shining hair,
And teaches elfn breezes fair
To sing her some sweet canzonet.
Ali promising long summer hours,
When she in his embrace shall lie,
Under tn. broad dome of bright sky,
On mossy couches starr'd with flowers.
Till she smiles back again to him
The beauty beaming from his face.
And, robed in light, glows with the grace
OF Eden -palaced cherubim.
o earth. thy glowing loveliness
Around our very hearts has thrown
An undimmed joyance all its own,
And sunn'd us Ger with happiness.

citizen of Virginia, in q letter published in

fate of slavery is settled. The whole North be-

The return of fugitives will be impossible. The

Vanity is one of the most hateful traits OF
character. 1t cannot be concealed, and always
shows weak and silly mind.
A proper regard to ones appearance is duty,
and to neglect it. or fall into slovenly and care
less habits, is serious fault. Cleanliness of per-
son, and neatness and propliety of dress, are
marks of good sense and good taste. But the
foolish display of ornaments, and the decking
ones self in colors and flowers, to attract atten-
tion is an evidence of weakness, and ottentimes
the occasion of sin. The purest and brightest
ornaments we can wear are not found in gold. or
pearls, or costly array, but in modesty and So

Goldsmith says the modest maiden, the pru-
dent wife and the careful matron are much more
serviceable in life than petticoated philosophers,
clustering heroines and virago queens. She
who makes her husband happy, and reclaims
him from vice, is much greater character than
ladies described in romance, whose whole occu-
patton is to murder mankind with shafts from
the univar of their ewes.
