THE CHRONICLE.
TWO WAYS TO LIVE.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

Z There are two ways TO live on earth
Twoways to judge, TO act, TO view;
for all things here have double birth:
a right and wrOng-a false and true!
Give me the home where kindness seeks
To make that sweet which seemeth small ;
Where every lip in fondness speaks,
And every mind hath care for all.
Whose inmates live in glad exchange
OF pleasure, free from vain expense;
Whose thoughts beyond their means ne'er
Nor wise denials give ofensei
Who in a neighbor's fortune find
No wish. no impulse. to complain;
Who feel not-never felt-the mind
To envy yet another's gain!
Who dream not of the mocking tide
Ambitions fOiled endeavOr meets
The bitter pangs of wounded pride,
Nor fallen power, that shuns the streets
Though fate deny its glittering store,
Loves wealth is still the wealth to choose;
For all that gold can purchase more
Are gauds, Ii is no loss to losei
Some beings. whereso'er they go,
Find nought to please. or 20 exalt-
Their constant study but to show
Perpetual modes of finding fault.
While others, in the ceaSeleSs round
OF daily wants and daily care,
Can yet cull flowers from common ground,
And ttCicaenjOy the joy they share.
Oh happy they. who happy NUKE
Who, blessing, still themselves are blest
Who something spare for others sake,
And strive, in all things. for the best!

The Horses Of Iceland.

The life of an Icelander, as repre-
sented by the author of a recently
published work, bears a curious re-
$emblanee to that of the Arabs of the
Desert. With both, the horse is their
trusty companion. The ieelander
can scarcely go a single step without
his horse. In passing over the long
and barren wastes, where not even a
blade of grass relieves the sterile mo-
nOtOny of the scene, if the faithful
horse should fail him, his life is placed
in peril.
Ieelandie horses are generally small
and do not reach higher than the
breast of n full-grOwn man. They
are, moreover, rather short but for all
chat they can go a good pace, and are
very comfortable to ride, either at a
canter or gallOp. 1t is not, however,
every horse that can eanter and some
can never be taught to do so. A good
eanterer in Iceland is priced at q
much highervalu than a trotter. The
first will cost from forty TO fifty rix
dollars, while the latter NAV bt.
bought for twenty to twenty-five riX
dollars. On the Ctast they aIe allC wCa
to run loose during the winter, where
and by some of the fords where the
herbage is luxuriant. On the mount
aims, they are allowed to search for
the grass underneath the snow, that
has not been mOwn in the summer
or else pick up heather in the fissures
and clefts of the rocks. Thus in most
parts of the country they have to pro-
vide themselves with food. Some
times they get little hay in very
severe winters.
They live in fact like the sheep,
with the exception of the milk eve,
and have to find their own food all
the year round. In the Autumn
they are assembled on the mountains,
and driven home to their parish,
where, as far rs possible, lookout is
kept to see that they do not starve or
freeze to death in the winter. Thus,
though there is no trouble in feeding
them, all their manure is lost, which,
in Iceland, is a great loss, indeed.
Horse breeding, too, as we'll as
many other things, is much neglec-
ted in the country. StalliOns are al
lowed to run loose all the year round,
so that there can be no choice in tha
breeding of a fOal.

Secret Marriages-An Old Geatle-
man Tells q True Story,

To the Editor of the NelO York Sun:
SIR: While riding up town yester-
day | was an unwilling listener to a
conversation between two students,
who, as they expressed themselves,
were bent ON fun, and that fun con-
sisted in a mock marriage of the
younger of the two to a nurse girl. I
am an old man, nearly seventy years
of age, and knew I could with safe
" speak to them. / told rhen I
was then on my way home from the
death-bed of one who was the envy
of all who knew him. He was q
SOutherner by birth and education
his victim is also a native of Georgia,
but brought up at the North in her
fathers family.
Some eight years ago he met her in
Tennessee, where the family were
staying, and she was then a beautiful
girl just budding into wOmanhoO6;
he followed them North, and soon
won the love of the girl, who prom
ise to be his bride; but her parents
would not consent, as he was Col.
in the rebel army. He soon after
Oined his regiment, but time and dis
tance only served to make her love
deeper; when. one day, he suddenly
appeared and claimed the fullfilment
Of her pOmise. She consented to a
private marriage. He left the next
day, promising soon to claim her
before the world He sailed for Eng
land, and before his return she learned
he had wife when he married her.
He returned with what he had gone
ora divorce from his wife-and now
wanted G.. to be publicly united to
him. She refused he had deceived
her once, and she could not tIUst him
again. He took rooms in the neigh
bOrhOOd, hopeing to win her To his
views; but, stricken down with fever
with no kind handtO hold the cup of
ccld water to his lips, he sent for her,
but it was not until l took word to
her that he was dying that she came.
| never shall forget that death-bed
while live; then knew what that
poor girl had suffered. 1t is plainly
TO be seen she is daily, yea, hourly,
passing away-aetually dying of a
broken heart. The world may laugh.
but few girls ever loved as she has
loved this man. She will have her
reward above for those words of for
giveneSs and comfort spoken to that
dying one, and that prayer must have
been borne to Heaven by angels;
Father, forgive him for thy Sons
sake!" May God comfort her in her
dffiietion, she who can but mourn for
him in her closet. Girls, let this
prove a lesson to you; trust in your
mother, even though it be a step
mother. Had George trusted in
hers, this all might have been spared
her. Young men, beware how you
tritie with a girls Purest affections
remember that the day is eOminr
when young and old, rich and poor
alike will be judged. Those students
were greatly moved. and promised
70 give UP their wild ways; and
knowing that your paper is daily read
by thousands of young people, Itrust
you will publish this, as it may prove
warning to many . -.
