LOVE LIGHTENS LABOR
A good wife rose from her bed one'morn.
And thought with a nervous dread
Of the piles of clothes to be washed; and more
Than a dozen mouths to be fed;
There's the meals to get for the mon in the
field,
And the children to fix away
To school, nod the milk to be skimmed and
churned ;
And all to be done today.
It had rained in the night, and all4the wood
Was wet as it could be ;'
There were puddings and pies to bake be
side
A loaf of cake for tea.
And the day was hot and the aching head
Throbbed wearily as Idle said,
"If maidens but knew what good wives know
They would nut be in haste to wbd !"
"Jennete what do you think I told Ben
Brown ?"
Called the farmer from the well
And a flush crept up to his bronzed brow,
And his eyes half bashfully fell ;
"It was this," he said, and coming near
Ile smiled, end stooping down,
Kissed her cheek---"'Twas this, ;that you
were the best,
And the dearest wife in town
The farmer went back to the field, and the
wife
In a smiling absent way,
Sang snatches of tender little songs,
e'd not sung for many a day.
And the pain in her hand was gone' and the
clothes i
Were white as the foam of the seit ;
for bread was light, and her butter was
sweet,
And as golden as it could be.
"Just think," the children all called in a
breath,
"Tom Wood has run off to sea!
Ile wouldn't I know, if he'd only had
As happy n home as we."
The night came down and the good wife
To herself, no she softly said :
"'Tie so sweet to labor for those we Jove,
It is not strange that maids will Wed !"
AFLOAT UPON THE ICE,
A TALE OF THE SAINT LAWRENCE
It was one day last February, when
the noble St. Lawrence was covered
with ice as bright as crystal and as
smooth as a mirror, that in company
with betty Itfordaunt, 1 wont out ska•
Ling. The ice was over a foot in thick
ness, but a strong wind had a few days
previously opened a channel in the
centre of the river, in which_
- much
loose ice was floating. Lettie had
never before had a pond to skate upon
that would compare with it, and, as
she. was an-accomplished skatm.she
was delighted. 1 have always . mate-
Wined that a pretty girl never appears
to better advantage that when she is
engaged in skating; and 1 had always
thought Lettio was a very pretty girl
and had became quite captivated by
her charms; but she never appeared
half so lovely to me as upon this occa
sion ; and as wo wont boldly forward,
or circled in the most graceful mari
ner, you may depend that I enjoyed
myself highly, and think she did also.
The river is about two miles in
width where were skating, and in the
distance were to be seen the several
islands that lie a short distance above
the Gallop Rapids, rind are famed for
their power, which is so great that no
vessel can approach within a consider
able distance of the lower part of them.
There is a single channel Oro' which
steamers are sometimes, piloted at fa
vorable seasons of the year; but to at
tempt to pass them out of the chan
nel, or without skillful pilotage, would
be the maddest of folly.
There were a considerable number
of skaters out with us; but we struck
out boldly for the centre of the river
and soon were at a considerable dis
tance from them. We did not stop
until within a few rods of the open
water, knowing as we did that the ice
was sufficiently strong to bear us. We
bad skated three or four miles, and
felt the necessity of resting a few mo
ments, and accordingly stood for a
while, gazing upon the blue waters of
the flowing river and the surrounding
scenery, which is very fine. I rather
think that I cast an occasional glance
at the features of my fair companion,
which were radiant with the glow of
'excitement occasioned by the exercise
of skating, We stood there rather
longer than we iptended to, fol. we
carried on an animated conversation
and the moments passed swiftly. At
length Lettie suddenly remarked :
' "Look where we are."
E=l
"I see," said 1, not comprehending
her meaning. "Had you forgotten
it r
"\Yo are further down the river
than we were when we stopped. We
were then opposite to that
pointing to the ruins of one that stood
upon the opposite bank . , a relic of the
last century, about half a collo above
us.
Somewhat surprised at this, T. look•
ed around us, and was not long in dis
covering the cause of the change. We
we were afloat! The ice upon which
we were standing had become separa
ted from the main body and carried
away by the action of the current. As
it was a large piece, being at least one
eight of a mile in extent, I felt no very
great apprehension in regard to our
safety, thinking it would soon float
against the edge of the firm ice, so
that we could easily get off it, and so
have the occurrence to remember only
as a pleasant adventure. .1 assured
Lettle that there was no danger, and
we patiently waited for the current
to release Us from captivity upon our
floating island, continuing our conver
sation as cheerfully as before. My ex
pectations were not fulfilled, for in
about half an hour we had reached
the open river where the rapidity of
the current had either curried away
the ice or prevented its formation, and
uotv the learfal truth hashed Upon my
mind we are going directly towards
fhp Qallti Rapids, and 4ii rate that

-PERSEVERE.-
would bring us to them in less than
an hour.
Lettie must have noticed the ex
pression of my countenance, fur she
clung to me and said
"Do not fear to alarm me by telling
me the worst. Aro we in very great
danger?"
"L am afraid that we are," I replied;
"but keep up your cotirage and we
will hope for the best."
Eagerly I scanned the surrounding
land, hoping to observe some one
whose attention I might attract. I
skated round the edges of the ice. and
hulloed as loudly as possible, but the
wind made it impossible for me to -be
beard at any great distance, and we
were unnoticed. It now blew quite
violently, and caused the water to run
over the ice., rendering it quite diffi
cult for us to stand up, and breaking
up the ice that we were upon, render
ing it still smaller and threatening to
hasten our doom. On we drifted,
hope fading as wo passed onward, and
the voice of death seeming to sound in
the distant roar of the rapids that was
now to beffaintly heard in the distance,
I gave up all hope of attracting atten
tion, and returned to Lettie.
"Bo as firm and brave as possible,"
said I addressing her; "for unless there
is a-special intervention in our behalf,
I do not see what can save us -from
running into the rapids. The ice will
be dashed to pieces, and wo must per
ish."
I had feared that she would be
overcome at hearing this; but, altho'
as pale as the ice that wo wore stand
ing upon, and hardly able to stand
without support, she bore it bravely.
"Is there no hope 1" she faintly in
quired, her tone indicating that she
did not expect an affirmative answer.
"1 see no possible chance of escape,"
I replied ; and our speed continued to
increase and louder grew the roar of
the rapids as we neared them.
"flow long will it be before we shall
reach them ?" she asked.
"We cannot have but a few minutes
longer to spend on earth," 1 replied.
She leaned upon me, but I felt
stronger when supporting her than
when alone. I saw no way to avert
our fate, and expected to be in eterni
ty in a short time. Although life was
dear to mo,I would most willingly have
relinquished it, by so . doing hers could
have been saved. Yet the fate that
decreed that we wore to die together,
robbed it of all its terrors as far us I.
was:soncerned. it was then I realized
+lloVistAilUdiritlOVß(l4loPr.rli - felt,
could - not die without telling her of it.
"Louie," said 1, "we shall soon be
at the rapids, but I cannot, die without
telling
yon how dear you are to me.
I would quickly sacrifice my life to
save yours; but, this is denied me. If'
we were spared I would offer you the
homage of a lifetime. IVill you now
accept it for all eternity ?"
A faint flush overspread her cheeks
as I ceased speaking, the last time I
thought that they would ever be crim•
soiled before they were cold in death.
She clung still closer to me, and a fir
mer pressure of the hand was the suffi
cient and only answer. I felt that I
was loved !
For a few moments we were both
silent. I noticed that her tears were
flowing, and the sight of them almost
caused me to lose my sollpossession.
We had already passed several.of. the
islands that stud the river immediate
ly above the rapids, and our rate of
speed was constantly, increasing. 1
drew her closely to me and endeavor
ed to prepare myselffor the approach
ing moment, when we would go down
together to a watery grave My mind
was busy, and I wondered how long
it would be before our fate would be
known ; of the various conjectures that
our disappearance would give rise to;
and where our bodies would bo found,
or if they would become entangled
among the rocks and our fates known
and if in the death-struggle we could
still maintain hold of each other, and
our spirits sear in unison.g.l also won
dered in what manner our deaths
would bo announced in the journals of
the day. Whether it would be a "mel
ancholy accident," or il' wo were found
clinging to each other, or as a "ro•
mantic casualty," arid fancied what
the emotions of various persons would
be when they learned of it These re
flections wore all stopped by my no
ticing a fisherman's hut upon an is
land only a short distance from us,
with a couple of mcu engaged at work
in front of it.
I pointed it out to Leetie, and said,
"We may yet be saved, if 1 can only
attract their Attention. Have pour-
ago and I will attempt it."
I left her and proceeded to the ea
trona° edge of the ice nearest to the
island. and then gathering all my
breath for an effort c; 1 ed to them.—
As our lives depot - I(4d upon the result,
of cour . se, I made a much louder
noise than I could upon an ordinary
occasion, although my emotion was at
first so great that I could hardly con
trol my voice. At length 1 succeeded,
and had the satisfaction of seeing a
boat put out after us. Although were
at some distance from them, and going
very rapidly. 1 had no doubt that
they would overtaho us. Oust as every,
thing seemed to be well again, 1 was
surprised to hear a cry from I..ettio,
which caused me to look round quick
ly. I was startled by the new aspect
of affairs. Tbe ice, owing to the act
ion of the waves, aad nut weight upon
one edge it, had parted, and wo were
upqmseparate pieces. Lettie had sunk
down upon the ice and was gaffing
earnestly towards me. The pieces of
jco were caught in eddies and went off
in opposite channels; but it was with
the greatest delight 'that I saw the
boatman row after her, leaving me t o .
ray fate, anti when 1 had passed the
island and lo,cket 4 .!:ll:.k, Iyaw that she

TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance.
"Safe in the boat! my feelings al
most overcame me; and if over I ear
nestly returned thanks to an overrul
ing Providence, it was then. Although
I was at a considerable distance from
her, I caught a last glance, and saw
that, although almost fainting, she was
gazing after me. I knew that the
boatman would not think of following
me, for I was now upon the edge of
the rapids. The principal events of
my life passed rapidly in review thro'
my mind, and my memory was very
active; but the sweetest remembrance
of all was of that moment during the
last hour, when Lettie confessed that
she loved me.
The last hope had fled, and I was
calculating the moments that would
elapse before the ice would bo dashed
to pieces, when turning round to take
a farewell look at earth and sky, I saw
a canoe, propelled by a couple of skill-'
ful voyagers, coming rapidly after me;
but although it fairly seemed to skip
over the waves, it hardly seemed to
gain on me. Tho water dashed over
the cake of ice, and I was wet and al
most insensible. The pursuing craft
reached me just in time to save me, and
I saw that it was ono of light birch•
bark, and that my rescuers were Can
adian Indians: It was drawn out up
on the ice, and I was placed in the bot
tom of it and cautioned to lie perfectly
still. Then, launching it, they seized
their paddles and devoted their ener
gies to the management of their frail
craft. It was impossible to proceed
back, so over the rapids we went. No
craft other than like the one that we
were in, and guided by experienced
persons, would have ever gone through
safely. Now running within a few in
ches of a rock, now circling around the
outer edge of an eddy, and then skip
ping over• the boiling waters and plung
ing down a waterfall. A motion of
mine or a false strike of theirs would
have capsized uta and sent, us all into
eternity. But we were safe; and I
quickly rejoined Lettio, who soon re
covered from the effects of her ride.
1 rewarded my rescuers us well as
money could do so, for snatching me
from the jaws of destruction, and they
were more thah satisfied.
Lettio and I will soon be joined in
wedlock; and I hope that our voyage
down the stream of life may be more
pleasant than was our excursion down
the St. Lawrence.
YANK IN A CHURCIL—The Wheeling
(W. Ye.) Register of Feb. 28th, says:

oroa T.oloott M. J. °lotto,. to
hear Rev. Mr.' Webb's sermon. It be.
ing the end of the conference year,
more persons wore in the church than
ever gathered in it before. Just as
the preacher had given out his text
the joists under the center of the floor
parted with 4 crash like the roar of
artillery, and the floor commenced set-
tling.
The scene that ensued beggars des
cription. Some rushed for the doors,
but could not get out for the pressure
of the crowd behind them. 'Women
fainted ; others uttered wild cries of
fear and terror. Men tried to get out
of the windows or to push their wives
out. One enterprising man, finding
that be could not move the' hottcitn•
sash of a window, and that the one
was partlydown,c.limed up the Window .
and Jumped out. He picked himself
off the ground somewhat bruised. As
soon as the first scare was over, and:
the persons who remained cool got the
others quieted, all got out uninjnred.'
Fortunately, there is no basement un•:
der the church, and the floor could on•
ly sink about a footjbefore striking
the ground. Had the, audience remem
bered this, the excitement would have
been unnecessary.

The London Herald tells the fol
lowing story
Not many years since certain min. ,
ere, working far under ground, came
upon the body of a poor fellow, who
had perished in the suffocating pit 40
years before . , Some chemical agent
to which. the body bad been, subjected
—an agent prepared in the labratory
of nature—had effectually arrested the
progress of decay. 'They brought it
up to' the surface,•and for a while; till
it crumbled through exposure to the,
atmosphere, it lay the image of a fine,
sturdy young man: 'No - convulsion'
bad passed over the fate death--'
the features were tranquil; the hair
was, as black as jet. , •
NO one had recognized the face—a
generation bad grown since the raider'
went down into his shaft for'ithe
time. But a tottering old, woman, who:
had hurried , from her,cottage at, hear,
ing the news, came up, and she knew
again the face which, through all these
long years, she had not'forgotten.
