"Hush, darling—you know I cannot leave my mother, lone widow that she is, even for love and you, Mary; but if youll not 6)1-get me, in the fair country you're going to, %%hen God wills, I'll Wow you?" "Oh, Jamie, hullo, this parting is quite breaking my heart—but don't ask me to stay again—God bless you, and keep yo, ft throe." James Burke was the only child of a poor tti idow, living in the northern part of Ireland. Mary' Conway was the youngest daughter of an intelligent and respectable family, neigh bors of the Butkes. James and Allay had beeMlovers from childhood, and at the time when they are introduced to our reader, till who knew them were smiling approvingly upon their fitting betrothal. James was just one's ideal of a warm-heart ed; high-sPirityd, frank, and handsomeirish man. Mary was a fair, blue-eyed girl of eighteen, with much more of 'delicate fragili ty of figure than often belongs to tier coun try Women. Some four years Orevious to the period of the parting scene, w ith which we commenced this sketch, Mary's only brother, Willie Con lc ay, went out to Americp to "seek his forl tune,'! where he succeeded so well' in busi ness, that he became anxious to be joined by his family. This consisted only of his pa rents, Mary, and the orphan-boy of an eider sister, a fine little fellow of eight or nine years. The noble younl, - ,r mar, sent borne nearly all his earnings to defray the expenses of the voyage, and promised his friends a snug and happy home, on their arrival in the strangernd. Prom tlteir age and many infirmities ' his parents were long averse to going, but finally yielded to his earnest soli citations. I=l Poor Mary! the same sense of filial duty which bade her go with her parents, forbade her urging her lover to accompany her, for old Mrs. Burke could not risk the voyage, luiving been an invalid for many years; and so they parted, and the emigrants took ship for Quebec. " - For the first week of the voyage all was fair above and calm below; but then came on lowa* and tempestuous weather, and the mad waves tossed about the stout ship like a toy, and the fierce winds drove-her wild'y on ter way. Our prior emigrants had (much to endure; Mary, ill herself, was yet unceasing in her attendance on her aged parents, who became so wasted and enfeebled by sea-sick ness as at laSt to be hardly able to rise front •their berths. One night, when th6ir had been about four weeks ai sea, after watching till her dear ones slept,she laid her aching head on,its uneasyillow, for a brief rest. The tempest whit had raged throughout the day had somewhat abated, but a heavy fog say on the deep, !Ikea white robe on the stormy bo som of a mad n .

But, to use the expression of her countrywomen, she f'went on the knees of her heart," and from the berth where she lay, fervently arose the, prayer of a subdued and trusting spirit, She fell asleep with a tear on her "cheek, and heart with 'Joie and old Ireland. - She was awakened by, a rush of feet on deck, and the cry of "Let go the anchors!" lucceeded by the rattle of chains—.a heavy plunge—another—a silence as of death, and then a joyful shout, "She holds!"—then a wild cry of "She drifts!" and then the ship seemed lifted out of Vatter, with a fearful crash, and a shock like that of an earthquake! She had struck! Then folloWed shoutings, , and hurr ing, to and fro, the cries of tprror, the clear, quick tones of command, and the sharp cta ,k of breaking timbers. The Itessel had been driven upon a large rock, and was parting in the middle, thestern being highest out of the water. Word was given for all to seek that part of the ship, as the only hope of safety; but before this object Could be accomplished, many poor creatures perished, limn missing their way in the dark ness, or from that sudden insanity which dan ger often tiinienders., But Mary - Conway, with matchless coolness and courage, con ducted her parents and nephew, bewildered DT DIM DAIIRIRT MARION WARD From thetlenth strewn seem, of battle, With tt welcome kind end (re , — lAgitt and gentle hearts grow lighter, Starry eyes beam all the brigeter, As they list to tales of thee.

"Young t4oman," said a seaman, standing by, "it may be death to do that—the may part a n minute." But she gave no heed to remonstrance's, timugh they came fast and clamorous; she seized on the rope, which still hung from the ship, and by a superhuman eMirt, climbed I to the deck, add went forward to the•steeraie.

She had brought I I her father's i clotik, from the berth where he had left it, a nd a blanket, which she wrapped mother, 1 1 around her saying: "You seek have come safely back, for God was with me, motherdear." Before a half hour had passed, a loud crash wasilearl, and a mountain wave swept away the whole of the forward part of the vessel. As the day wore on, and the fog drifted, the ship-wrecked beheld despairingly, the hope lessness of their situation. They were oaTt upon a perfectly barren-rock, Separated from the lhnd by many rods of foaming surf, it which no boat could live an instant; at sei f no sail was in sight, and oi the shore no signs of human life.

She herself wtt trembling with cold, but she thought not' once of robbing her poor dead father of hia winding-sheet. ~, • • Rest thou, old saint, t&rith thy cross upon thy breast!

Soon after Mary returned to ar mother, shout from their cinnpanions told them that', the despaired of help was at han,d., On look ing to the shore, she beheld four or live inen,l pointing threes huge 'Newfoundland dogs to the rock. As anon as the noble creatures caught sight of the sutli , rers, they sprang eagerly into the surf. how sturdily they breasted the waves—how gloriously they leaped forward to the re'cue! One after another, the shipwrecked were lashed to theLe gallant deliverers and carried safely to the shore. To the kind inquiries of an aged sailor, who, at each return of the no ble dogs, had said, "Now daughter," Mary simply answered, "Not yet," and remained holding on her lap the almost inanimate form of her mpiher. At length the mother seem ed to arouse herself, and opening her faded blue eves, those eyes which Mary bud sooften looked for hope and encouragement, she slid; i 11 will thry my darling—for my child's a he, the good God may,giye nil strength to lass through the trotiblatia*Fs." Mary assisted folash her, to one of tit l ose mute' deliverers, and with her dons' clasped ) about and partly supporting her„sbe accom panied her far out into the surf, and4WO:innit- 1 ted her to the angry deep. And there stood' Mary Conway—around her the wild sea—her black hair on the wind, her lips parted, and her clasped hands outstretched before lier— yet,all unheeding sea and wind, for her heart was with her eye, and her eye was with her mother. She saw these aged limbs float nut on the wave, and tha, grLy hair tossing like sea:weed in - the surf. She saw- the' cruel wave pass over her-=she saw fora moment her white, calm face, as she was borne on on the succeqing billow, turn full upon her— she saw rer dimmed eyes open, and, oh, God! amid t o 'sea and the storm, a daughter catight the last look of affectionate recogri lion from a dying mother! , But Mary kneW it not: still sitood'she, statue-like; watching With wild intensity the recedingform of her last parent; the only change bf attitude and expression was the .swelling and falling of the chest, and the' gleaming and fading of "THE W'ORLID,I GOVERNED TO4) MUCH."

The unfortunates met sympathy and kind ness in the fisherman's house, which they reached at last, and the next day Mary COll way and her nephew, proceeded to the near est town, %%here she sought and found em ployment for them, l both,, intending to seek her brother,-as soon as she' had earned suffi-1 cieut to defray her traveling expenses. All her money and papers had been lost at the time of the wreck, and Most unfortunately, the shock of that disaster, and ber succeed ing afflictions, had driven from her mind all recollection of her brrither's place Of resi dence. But she remembered that it •was somewhere in the .state of New i York, and she finality resolved to go at once to the city of New-York, where she hoped to hear of the place she wished to find. At last she reached that great metropolis, still accompa nied by her young nephew , fur her widowed sister when dying, had given him to her, and she was ever faithful to the IMly trust. SII soon procured 'a si Antilop for herself. and Hy the charge; in a bearding house, where she remained about a month, still unable to re call the name of the village to which her brother had directed her. But one day, a stranger arrived, and on his trunk being brought into the hall, upon the corn affixed to, it, she recogni z ed with a cry of deLight, that lost. that blessed word! The next morning saw her and her little Allick on the deck of one the Hudson steam ers, waving adieu to the few friends who .had followed them the wharf. At Mary took passage on a canal-boat, and tray eled many huudred miles westward; and al ways and every where, though attractive `in appearance and so unskilled l in the ways of the world, and 'utterly defenceless, she met but kindness and friendlines4 I There was about her the sacredness of sorrow—the im press of sullbring on her brow, and, the tear fulness of her down east iwere 'eloquent Though mute-appeals to - the generous Ameri can heart., She reached ay last, and was clasped, half-fainting, in her brother's arms, who could measure his joy! He had heard of the wreck of the vessel, and suppos ed that all he held dear on earth had gone down with her. • I Mary found a neat and comfortable Item awaiting , her, and soon life seemed knot se e.cild around her—a few sunbeams fell u pon her path, and the crushed flower, happiness, Obit root in her heart again. She wrote to, and heard from her lover in Ireland; his mother was still living, but very feeble, requiring his constant bare. ."rwas on her second summer in Ainerita,' that sorrow came once again to poor Mary Conway; came at the season when -mOurning and sadness seem' most unnatural—in, gor geous June, the festal,mohth of all, the year, came before the'first flush of rose time' was past! "Her pride, her dependance, her noble; devoted brother, came horne, one noon, from 111 his work, with a heavy eye, l aed the fevered blood rushing , through his veins live lava, flung himself upon his bed,- and never rose again. . Ono evening as Mary sat by his side, watching him earnestly, for , she knew that "the lidur was at hand," ho said,. faintly, "Pray my sister:" and' the stricken girl knelt and lifting up her voice clearly and calmly, in a prayer all faith and fervency and submis sion, commended the. p.issing spirit to its Creator. When she rose up, she looked up on the face of the dead. On the day of the burial, little Allied( was taken ill, with a milder form of the same disease, and there was none of kindred, save'] his t broken-hearted siLler, to follow IVillie Conway to the grave,,- She saw him laid to his rest, with an intense yearning to lay 1, down deside him, and share his cold pillow; and she tuned toward her ,desolate home,! with a depth of anguish in her soul, which only God could sound. But the strength which had been hers at , the death-bed seene,l and at that awfultno-' meet when the first earth fell upon the cof fin, now that all was over, forsook her utter ly.— She View faint, reeled painfully, and would have fallen; , but that one, who, at that , moment entered the grave-yard, - sprang for ward and supported her.
