his uneasiness was not allayed. When
arrived at the capital and found every
ante-chamber In the government house
lined with place hunters and native
money lenders he realized that there
were other things in India besides caves
aud temples the code Of Manu-, and the
tables OF Pilpay. He was quite unified
for the work he had undertaken. He
was constitutionally lazy, and an
Indian should be ready to mount his
horse at five minutes notice, and ride

high court or visit native raJa. He
loved the company Of people OF wit, and
such wit as mildly corruscates IN India
Is generally OF the sort which the local
newspapers display In their poets corn

ryota0aryie tenures, or the law OF evil

was debarred from conversation with
his countrymen. His memory was fa.

and iair-minded of Englishmen. Had

A PLEASANT EVENT.

$50 passed the day-the evening fell,
Twas near the time OF curfew bell;
The air was mild. the wind was calm,
The stream was smooth, the dew was balm.''
Clouds that had lowered about all
day grew light and lighter, disclosing
the soft crescent that brings so much
joy to lovers of pleasure, and by
twilight the roads leading to the
elegant country residence of Mr.. G.
X. Campbell were lined with car
riages, buggies, hacks and other
vehicles filled with merry hearted
girls. happy beaux, anxious mammas,
demure papas, and bachelors, who
might have been mated that night, if
never before. Imagine your forlorn
reporter as the tantling crowd rushed
by. A Sydian king o'erhung with
fruits And flowers might have smiled
nod of recognition, but whirl of
joy like that cast no thoughts behind.
The avenue to the house, the yard,
the verandah aud windows were
brilliantly Illuminated. gates spread
wide. doors open, servants in waiting,
and every thing beaming with well
come to the groom with his lovely
bride, and their host of happy friends.
"Mine host t"snd hostess made every
heart feel glad with their usual hos
pitality. and at half-past ten proceed
ed their guests, first to the lseat table,
which was set in the form of mall
tese cross, and loaded with the choicest
viands. Oyster-soup. turkey, roast
pig, ham boiled, ham grated, beet

chicken, salmon. oyster salads, pick
les. tea, coffee, breads of all kinds,
crackers, cheese, jellies of different
varieties. celery that could not be
surpassed by the culling from Shaw's
reserved trenches, and many other
things which time and space forbid
mention. The table of confections so
gorgeously arranged by the dainty
fingers of Misses Annie Vivion and
Willie johnson, was pronounced the
handsomest and best Of the season.
Cakes-two fruit, two chocolate, two
cocoanut, two grand duke, two rib
bon, one orange, one lemon, one
marble, one Angels food, one grand
elegant brides cake, containing two
darning needles, (both of which alas
fell to the same young lady whose
doom is fixed), one ring aud piece
of coin, fruits, California Fears and
grapes, lemons, oranges, raisins, figs,
mute, SC. Ices-lemon and pineapple,
sherbet and ice cream in superabuE-
dance. Of the dalnties that would
admit of boxing, your humble SER
want received goodly share, for
which the kind young ladies already
mentioned will accept thanks. The
worthy bride was the recipient of
many elegant presents, but failing TO
get the list cannot mention them.
Nothing happened to mar the pleas
ure of the evening, except slight
accident to Messrs. Ke!lie and Frank
Campbell. Jr., whose horses became
frightened and tossed them over a
bridge, and but for the opportune as
sistance of Messrs. Plattenbnrg and
Wheatly, 1t might have proved very
serious. Both escaped with slight
injuries but the buggy was much
damaged.

Man Was Made to Mourn.
BY ROBERT BURNS,

When chill November's surly blast
Made fields and forests bare,
One ev ming Us wandered forth
Along the banks Of Ayr.
spy d Il man whose aged atep
Seem'd weary, worn with care;
HIS face was furrow'd Ger with years,
And hOary was his hair.
''Young stranger. whittier wand rest thou ?"
Bsgan the rev 'rsnd sage;
Does thirst of wealth thy step constrain,
Or youthful plensure's rpge3
Or haply, prest with cares and woes,
Too soon thou hast begun
To wander forth, with me to mourn
The niseries of man.
''The sun that overhangs yon moors,
Out spreading far and wide,
Where hundreds labouI to support
A naughty lerdllng's pride;
I've seen Won weary Winter-sun
Twice forty times return.
And ev'ry time has added proofs
That man was made to mourn.
80 man while In thy early years,
How prodigal of time
Misspending all thy precious hours.
Thy glorious youthful primel
Alternate fOllies take the sway;
LicentiOus passions burn;
Which tenfold force gives natures law
That man was made to mourn.
"Look not alone on youthful prime,
Or manhood's active might;
Man then Is useful to his kind,
Supported IN his right:
But see him on the edge of life,
With cares and SORROWS Worn;
Then age and want-oh! ll-match'd d pair.-
Show man was made TO mourn.
"a few seem favorites of fate,
In pleasure g lap carest:
Yet, thiuk not all the rich and great
Are likewise truly blest.
But, oh! what crowds in every land.
All wretched and forlorn!
Thro' weary life this lesson learn
That man was made TO mourn.
Many and sharp the num- 'rous Ills
lnwoven with our frame!
More pointed still We make ourselves,
Regret, remorse, and shame!
: nd man, whose heaven erected face
The smiles Of love adorn,
Ian s inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn!
"see yonder poor. o'erlabour'd wight,
So abject, mean, and vile,
Who begs brother OF the earth
To give him leave to toll;
And see his lordly fellow-worm
The poor petition epurn,
Unmipdful, though q weeping wife
And helpless offspring mourn.
"If T. m deslgn'd yon loldling's slave
By Nature law design'd-
Why was an Independent wish
E'er planted in my mind2
If not, why am 1 subject to
His cruelty or scorn2
Or why has man the will and power
To make his fellow mourn?
| Yet, let not this too much, my son,
Disturb thy youthful breast;
This partial view of humankind
Is surely not the best!
The POOR, oppressed, honest man
Had never, sure, been born,
Had there not been some recompense
10 comfort those that mourn!

The kindest and the best!

Awake to Joyl
BY J. H. sTRAUoHN.

From the German of Holty.l
Why should griefs and cares annoy
In the spring of youthful bloom9
Why in those halcyon days of joy
Contract our brows In sullen gloom?
Joy smiles on us in all our ways,
Which through this pilgrimage We tread;
She brings q crown for all our days,
light o'er every maze doth shed.
The meadow-spring doth sush and CLEAN,
Still Is the arbor cool and green;
AS lovely still the moons bright beam,
AS when by Adam first was seen.
Still the purple grape doth pour
Wine to fill the heart with bliss;
Still at eve in leafy bower
'Tis sweet q rosy mouth to kiss.
Still in the copse the nightingale
To youth and joy her strains belong,
Still pours her notes through all the vale,
As though her life would end in song.
o, full Of beauty is Gods earth,
And joy should reign In every breast;
And will sing the songs Of mirth
Until In its bosom rest.

Give me excess of 1t, that surfelting,
The appetite may sicken. and 30 die.
