They were out walking, enjoying the
cool and fresh air. The bright moon
cast its rays over the lady, giving her an
almost angelic appearance, and impart-
ed to her flowing curls still more gold
en- hue. One Of her soft white hands
rested in his, and ever and anon she
met his ardent gaze with one of pure
love. Suddenly change came her fea-
lures her full red lips trembled as if
with suppressed sighs; the muscles of
her faultless mouth became convulsed !;
she gasped for breath, and snatching her
hand from the soft pressure of his, she

Social EnjOyments.

If the kind Editor will give us small
space in his columns we will speak
briefly of the revival of social enjoy
ments in the vicinity of Stribling
Springs. The gay parties given BY
the gallant and popular Messrs. Kin.
ney q Gilkeson were but fore
taste of brighter joys to come. A few
weeks since Professor Vincent gave at
the expiration of his school an exhibi-
ton which was termed success. In It
were displayed the wisdom and expe-
rience OF the preceptor and the genius
and docility of the pupils. On the 10th
inst, soiree was given at the residence
of Mr.. T. s. Hogshead, in honor and ap-
probation of Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall
Byers. The genial hospitality of the
host and the superabundance of various
epicurean dainties, which manifested
the culinary knowledge of the affable
hostess and her pretty daughter, and the
social enjeyments of the evening, will
ever dwell in the domain of the tender
est recollections, where ingratitude, the
universal spoiler, will find no sovereign
ty. Messrs. Steele and Floyd and Misses
Dinkle and Hogshead were the admira-
BILE performers of music. On the follow.
ing morning Mr.. E., of Staunton, ia
vored us with delightful vocal music,
which was low and sweet, like the last
note of the bird before it folds its wings
for its nightly slumber. So the happy
bridal party were borne away in song
from "Holly Hip to the home of Mr..
r. G. Byers, where they partook Of
dinner.
The true way to be happy is to make others so,
Those who seek their own happiness no real
bliss can know,
And blessings like the April showers will cheer
the gen'rous breast,
Of those who seek while here below to make
their neighbor blest,
And may the happy bridal pair no dark days
ever see,
peace and joy and love their
earthly portion be.
When many long, unclouded years have sweet
ly passed away,
Together may they dwell up there is what

WELL DONE.-A young man called in
company with several other gentleman,
upon young lady. Her father was
also present to assist her in entertaining
the callers. He did not share his daugh-
ter's scruples against the use of spiritu-
Gus drinks, for he had wine to offer. The
wine was poured out, and would soon
have been drunk, but the young lady
asked: -.
"Did you call upon me or upon papa ?"
Gallantry, if nothing else, compelled
them to answer, 1--WE called upon you."
"Then you will please not drink wine;
| haye lemonade for my callers"
The father urged the guests to drink,
and they were undecided. The young
lady added, remember, if you call upon
me, then you drink lemonade; but If
you call upon papa, have nothing to
say" ~
The wine glasses were set down with
their contents untasted.
After leaving the house one of the par
ty exclaimed, ''that is the most effective
temperance lecture l have ever heard.n
Indeed, it was sown in good ground.
1t took root, sprang up, and is now bear
ing fruit. The young rnan from whom
these facts were obtained broke off at

which the others do not understand.
1t is bad manners to stare at strangers

While waters coldly close around,
Till of her pathway through the seas,
The bark no more is found;
Thus passing down obiivion's tide,
The beauteous visions Of the mind,
Swift as that ocean pageant glide
And leave no trace behind!
But this pure page may still impart.
Some dream OF feeling else untold,
TIE silent record Of heart.
Even when that heart Is cold;
It's true memorial yet may bloom,
Perchance to absent hearts most dear.
like flowers that linger o'er the tomb,
Bedewed by loves sad tear.
ask not for the need Of fame,
The wreath above my rest to twine,
Enough to leave a cherished name,
Within hallowed shrine;
To think that o'er these lines thine eye,
May wanderi in some future year.
And memory breathe passing sigh.

MARRIED LIFE.-Good counsel from
q wife and mother ~ try to make my
self and all around me agreeable. 1t will
not do to leave a man to himself till he
comes to you, to take no pains to attract
him, or to appear before him with long
face. 1t is not SO difficult as you think,
dear child, to behave to husband 50
that he shall remain forever in some
measure lover. a,n all old woman,
but you can still do as you like; a word
from you at the right time will not fail
OF its effect; what need have you to play
the suffering virtue? The tear of low
ing girl, says an old book, is like dew
drop on rose; but that on the cheek of
wife is a drop of poison to her husband.
Try to appear cheerful aud centented,
and your husband will be SO; and when
you make him happy, you will become
so, not in appearance, but in reality
The skill required is not so great. No
thing fiatters man so much as the hap
piness of his wife he is always proud Of
himself as the source of it. AS soon as
you are cheerful you will be lively and
alert, and every moment will afford you
an opportunity to let fall an agreeable
word. Your education, which gives you
an immense advantage, will greatly as
sist you, and your sensibility will be-
come the noblest gift that nature has be-
slowed on you, when it shows itself in
affectionate assiduity, and stamps on
every action a soft, kind and tender
character, instead of wasting itself in
secret repinings."
