Or wondering by my ,iolo beneath the eky or June:
NVilliam Gordon, the lover of Annie MOore,
was an exalted, yet a most loveable cluiracter
—an einhodiment of intellect, manliness, faith
ful affectimis and fervent piety. He was a
young Student of Divinity—had bemself
supported, almost self-educated, and at the
time of the commencement of this sketch, was
in the expectation of entering upon the mitt- ,
istry in Rule course of a year.
And this man, poor, unknown, and devoted
to a_holy calling, was the choice of Annie
Moore, the wealthy, the beautiful, the luxu
riously reared! ' ll "rwaS passing strange"—
our 'wordly ones wondered nt, and our sewing
circle gossipped about the matter, for a mouth
or two, and then the ruffled tide of our village
life flowed on as usual. But I was on my
way to pay Annie a morning visit. William
Gordon had called the night before, to bid us
adieu, as he was to be absent furitia nymonths.

"When will William return?" I presently
inquired. .
"In May—little legs than a year.", -
"And then?"
"And then w•e Br i e to be married—so held
yourself in reachnesS to be my bridesmaid."
The summer passed—a season of earnest,
untiring and prayerful toil, with the• young
student, and of patient, hopeful, and sustain
ing love, on the part of his betrothed. I Then
came the chill autumn, followed by a winter'
of uncommon severity. Our dear Annie,
while on a night visit to a dying friend, was
exposed to a sudden and tearful sturni—took
cold—ah, does not soy render anticipate the
mournful consequence? soother and' el
der sister had died of consumption, and soon,
very soon, the seal of death was on her blue
veined brow, and the very voice of the grave
sounding in the hollow cough which shook
her fragile frame. We kneW that she must
die, and she, unlike many consumptives, ktiew

truth. 'She wrote to him that she _had Ora

At length May came round again,and with
it returned' William Gordon, the young cler
gyman. He was bowed! to the earth by the
great and tinlookedjor affliction which await
ed him—yelt meekly'drank he the bitter . cup,
fur his God had mingled it.
Sweet Annie was passing rapidly from earth
—growing more end more fragile in form, and
angelic in spirit (lay by dhy, and poor Wil
liam became intensely desious that their un
ion might take place. Auntie's friends readi
ly assented, but she, to our surprise, f . irmly
refused to grant the mournful request of her
broken-hearted lover.
One evening he s was sitting alone by her
side, as she was half reclining on a couch;—
the hectic flush was more startingly brighter
than usual on her cheek. for she had suffered
much that day, and as he thought how very
near
g o
Right be the dark.,wing; of God's dread
' 1
ang he took her wasted hand in his, and
said—
"Oh, my Annie, let me call you wife, be
fore you leave me! You would not he so ut
terly lost' to me th n, for I would ,know you
bearing thatacred name in Heaven. Refuse
me not, love."
Oh, Williarn;William, urge me no longer," I
she replied, "it must nut, cannot be. I am,
the bri.le of Heaver', you must not be my hus
band, and hear me, dearest, you must no Lon
ger• bcncar me—your lore is precious, but it
is earthly, and it comes as a cloud between
me and the glories of that upper. world, to
which I hasten. Your voice, -my own, is
sweeter to me than the hymns of the angels,
beard i• 1 my dreams of Heaven! !-We must
piirt, now=for every hour renders you dearer,
and how can I leave you at last!"
‘Vith heroic and martyr-like calmness spoke,
the mistaken girl—mistaken, for a pure love,
fur one worthy, is the holiest and sweetest
preparation fur His presence who "is love." ;
•William Gordon saw her firmness, and
that she was weak and trembling from the
excitement of the scene, and
cios, , be up his pniii,"
resolved to yield instant nu! tin own pl ai ni rig
obedience to her wishes. -[le ro-e up
l y , l and l and imprinting on her forehead a kiss of
mingled love and anguish, turned, and was
gone! Annie berried her face in her thin,
white hands, and remained
l in an agony of
prayer and grief. Then cattle vague regrets
fir the coarse she had taken, and painful
doubts of the necessity of the sacrifice: she I
had made; Presently she heard a well- I

calmness had forgakeii him, , and he murmur
"ll-1 mu it leave you to die alone, Annie:
let me fold ;you once inure to my heart, before
1 go—it wild give me strength."
lle.kWelt on one krwe beside her, reached
firth his arms, awl sobbing like a eta], she
leaned upon his bosom.
No word was 'spoken by that pair, lot iog
and faithful unto death, while the flood of sor
row swept over their hushed spirits, as the
fOuntuins of the sours-great 'deeps tt ere bro
ken up. Yes, silent, but not tearless, knelt
William Gordon : with' his lips pressed against
the dear head which lay upon his heart. At
last he raised his eyes heavenward, and those
lips moved in whispered prayer—he unwound
his arms and would have risen, but Annie
•
movd not—she was clinging to his breast.'—
A smile of joy irradiated his mournful fade,
and his arms once again enfolded her. She
looked
,tip and murmured. with something r of
ner old playful tenderness, more touching than
he wildest burst of grief.
"Are you not stronger, dear William?" •
ddAly I fear not, any love."
. "This is strange, for when I felt the
strength ebbing from my own heart, I thought
it. had flowed into ytiurs."
"Thank Gud fur the weakness which is
lovelier than strength! I must never leave
your Annie."
":fever!"
The morning of the 'wedding day had come
and I was arraying Annie in her bridal dress,
a beautiful Muslin, guiltless of 'ribbons or
lace. I wished to twine in her hair, a small
string of pearls, which was once her moth
er's,—but she gently put it from me.
"What, no ornaments?" I inquired.
None," she replied,—but yes,—if you
will go into my garden, you will find a lovely
white ruse tree, which WOW In phntea'wheo
I first knew him, bring me one of its buds,
and I will 'wear it in my hair,"
I have seen turides radiant in healthful
bloom—glittering in jewels—Jazzling in sat
ins, rich veils on.i costly wreaths, bult never
have I beheld one so exquisitely, so wonder
fully bedutiful,,as that dying girl,
.with her
dress of simple white, tier one floral orna
rnent;the dewy lustre of her soft blue e 34.,
and the deepened hectic ofher cheek! Mr lut i n
the ceremony was to be perfumed, she wis -
ed to rise, Mid as she was too weak to stagalone, I stood by her side, and supported her.
Shemiled sadly, as she whispered—"YOu
remember, Grace, I promised you should 6e
my bridesmaid."
As the beautiful marriage ceremony (that
of the EnglishChurcb,) proceeded, the flee
of the bride be‘me e*ipressive alternately *of
earthly and ofdtenvenly love, of softness and
of sublimity, of the-woman and of the angel,
till it g4rw absolutely adorable.
At the last she received the tearful con
.
gratulatp - ns.of her friends, with a graeek
manner, and with the moat cheerful smiles
playing about her lips.

Annie dordon was lying on her couch by "an
open window, with tier ,fair 'head ',supported
on the breast of her husband.

every soft sir which, .kissed • iief faded lips,. -

Her doting father knelt in a ,Aeop trance Of
grief ether sto.id holding one of her
hands in mine, while at, het .Net sat her
younger brother, Arthur Moore, weeping
with all the uncontrolled passionateness of
boyhood.
Annie had lain for smite moments apparent
ly insensible, but she looked up yet once
more with her own sweet smile,
and murmured,
And William Gordon lifted his voice in a
prayer, all saint-like submission and . child
like love. ' He solemnly, andi tenderly com
mitted the passing soul of the' wife, the
daughter, the sister and the friend,' to her
Savour and her God, and meekly implored fur
the stricken mourners, the Ministrations of
the blessed Spirit. Suddenly he paused—
hcr heart tad ceased its beati ngs! His brow
becam nvolsed and his voice was low and
tremnlo s, as he added, "She has left us; oh!
oUr Father, she is with Thee, now!" .
Our Annie tad been gone frlm us a year,
and ,the rose was in its first bloom; when Wil
liam Gordon came to bid us a long, •it might
be, a last adieu. He was going out as a
missionary to India. On the last evening of
his stay, I went with hint to the grave of our
lost one. wi g emalued till the grass was
glittering wit ew, an I stars were thick
in heaven. Many times turned poor William
to depart, an I returned again, We both had
remarked a single rose-bud, very like the one
Attie wore on her marriage day, an I at that

•
strength to go, he plucke and placed it
in his bosom, with many tears.
"Pray, once again, my Beloved—it will
plume my spirit's wing fur its upward flight;
but place your hand upon my heart, that you
may know when I nm gone!"
"Gine! our Annie dead!" exclainied poor
little Arthur Moore, and springing forward
and casting one look on that still face, he
stretched his arms upward and cried—"Oh!
sister, sister, come back to us, come back!"
We arrayed her in her bridal dress; even
to the white rose-bud,_ twined in her golden
hair. We laid her to rest by her triatter's
side, in a lovely rural grave-yard, and a few
mouths after I took her fatirite rose-tree
fro#l the gar en, and , planted it - over her
breast.

Tim ST. Cll.taLlty HOTP.L AND THE DUTCH -
MAN;—lesterday a rich Acene took plu iin
front or the St. Charles. An Lorlest Dutch
man, who had just. arrived from the Nl:aler
t:tilde, came.ty St:Charles street, with his
rife and daughter hanging on his crin.—
In coining in front of the splended edifice al
ready mentioned, he suddenly ha'ted, and,
with his month - wide open, exclaimed to his
"vrow:"
"Mina Gott, Elizabet, what a Fplo'l4o
church."
"Hans," said, his wife; catching him by the
arm, "does von tink dat it ish a htiteran or a;
Cadolic church. It. doe,hent look much like
de one, and den it looks a good 'deal like de
toder, and then it dushent 104 much like de
-
neder."
“Stop mine vrow,” said old liana , as he
shook the ashes nut of his wry necked pipe,
will going in and see what kinder a church

WOMAN'S INkLUENCE.

We slate a few days since a young man
who had been indulging freely in the intoxi
cating cup, and whose 'extreibelY respectable
dress „attracted tip to him, as he staggered
along the street. lie had not gone a block,
'before he was met by a young and exquisite
ly beaptifttl woman, o perhaus twenty ears
of 1 ng4., 1 Whose co l Out ounce the mantel t irr l
eyes fell upon the inebriate, indicated hoih
pleasure and pnin....pleasure at meeting again
her husband, (for vich he was) whose nbsence
from her s a whole I night had filled her with the
most intense solicitude for his safety—pain
that he should per:sent such a sp:ctacle to the
world. SmilinNln his face, he -took his
:
arm, and by her r
skillful direetio of his steps,
over the pavements, none but II e most criti
cal observer would have noticed his intoxica
tion. . • .
We have taken the trouble-t inquire into
the hi-tory of this couple, and we find the
wife is all that man can ask: hat she loves
devotedly her husband, and it is only now and
then, when adlicted with a hereditary lowness
of spirits, that he kisses the burning bowl.—
'tight that such a wife would pu

of one so slightly tainted as that of her hus
band; while we have long known, that there
are women who appear well in the world, yet
who, when joined to a man,,no mater how
naturally correct and exemplary, often drive
him to disgrace himself. Woman is all-pow
erful with man for good Or evil. She•can
make him an angel or a devil. We would
choose nu better advocate before a tyrant's
throne s , titan_ the persuasive eloquence of a
woman's lips. There is a deference and a re
spect which our nature compels us to pay to
the soft pleadings of a lovely female, which
gain her half the victory. The tone of the
voice, the eloquence of the eyes, the expres
sion of countenance, and that amiable sense
of helplessness whieh looks to us for protec
tion, are appeals too powerful ko be resisted:
frequently reason and justlice ••ter before
these batteries, and beauty gains whatrheto
ric would have.lost.—Etie.

might be overlooked by the traveller. This
brook, although so small, was inspired witha

"I wish I were a cloud, to roll all day thro'
