Ilicy tool; Annie to her bed. ] Tjio powerful excitement of the .day, with her effort to conquer it. had created fever in her reins and her brain. For a week Annie lay in great danger. . In her unconscious state, Annio talked con* sjantly of Earnest, of his heaulifnl bride at\d of her own grief. Sometimes she would fancy sH6 was preparing. the bridal wreath, and would call for fi-csh flowers from the brook. Again she would repeal the Words of Earnest: "Ah, Annie', sheja jnore beautiful than your wildest wrotc into song.” Then slic would Improvise rhyme, saying “this shall be the bridal song. T will not be the haughty child of my dear friend. I will write him a bridal song, and sing it too at his wedding.'* , , Earnest at such times, would listen with tire deepest feeling to all those .revelations of her, poetic soul. Ho wrote on Ins tablets each line of the sweet terse she had named the." bridal song.” tie wrtrf never absent from her side, and the first object that Annie saw on the re turn of consciousness was Earnest May. She held out her thin while hand to him and tried to speak her thanks for his presence. Many weeks ot weariness and languor came to the poor sick girl ere she could leave her bed. There seemed to be something holding her back from health. Tier mind was not quite at rest. Earnest read the soul of the young girl, and on each day felt more than ever like a guilty wretch who.had crushed in his rude hand a beautiful and fragile flower. M ell ns he hatl imagined lie had understood her, he found he had no conception of the extreme delicacy am! sensitiveness of her nature. No attention or kindness from him could ia.any way wipe out the grqat wrong he had done her. But what j was in his power to give he gave with earnest-1 ness and devotion. Ii was lie who sat by her . bedside, rind strove by pleasant conversation 1 and reading to entice her back to health and i cheerfulness. His ami bore her slighufrnme from the sick chamber into the genial Sun shine. ’ , Nor was Earnest wholly unsuccessful in his ellorls to rcsorc Annie to health ; and when the soft air lonchehcd her pale check, there sprang up again in her soul a desire to live, if but to, revel in the Uauiy of nature. 1 One day Earnest Imre Annie into the garden arbor. Annie was still weak, and. very pale, from the effect of her long illness. She seemed ns fragile ns an Infant in|thc arms of the strong man. How slight a breath might nip the heaulifnl (lower; and yet a strong will was beating in her bosom, and a brave heart was in that frail tenement, that was buoying her on tlie wave of destiny, and would surely bear her safely to some protecting harbor. Earnest drew from his bosom n tablet upon which were Inscribed the lines of the song im provised in Annie’s delirium. Ho commenced reading it to Annie, who sat perfectly absorb cd in the strange mystery. The rhyme, ihe j thoughts was hers, but huw could she account for tlie treble lines ? Earnest closed tbo verso, and .ro-placed the tablet, then said in a low voice : “Annie, this is our bridal song/’ • Annie turned her beautiful eyes into the face of Earnest, as if to read the meaning of Ins words. “Dear Annie,” why did you let your wild wayward heart mislead you, when 1 strove to tell you my love for you. “Your love for me, dear Earnest 1 you said she whom you loved was beautiful and gifted. “And so she is, sweet Annie. Who. Annie, hut you could have inspired such love os has blessed, and well nigh wreckwl my life.’ “And is it me. dear Earnest, that you love so tenderly, so passionately ?” And the poor girl burred her face in the bosom of Earnest and wept, thctlrst happy tears that had touch ed her cheeks for many long, wcarv weeks. You, ami you only, my beautiful child I” and Earnest raised the small head from Ins bosom, and kissed away the tears as he playfully said : ■• I last c, Annie, and soon be well, lor I long to sing the bridal song.” Header, is the story told ? Jons Hancock as up. Apphaiijcd in 1782. — One who saw Hancock in June 1782. relates that he hod Ihc appearance of ndvnnccd ago.— He had been repeatedly and severely afflicted with gout, probably owing in part to the cus tom of drinking punch—a common practice in high circles in those days. As recollected at the time, Hancock was nearly six feel In height nnd of thin person, stooping a little, and ap parently enfeebled by disease. His manners were very gracious, of the old style, a dignified complaisance. His face hud been very hand some. Dress was adapted unite as much to the ornamental as the useful. Gentlemen wore wigs when abroad, and commonly cans when at home. At this time, about noon, Hancock was dressed in o red velvet cap, within which was one of fine linen. The latter was. turned up over the lower edge of the velvet one two or three inches. Ho wore n blue damask gown lined with silk, a while stock, a while satin embroidered waistcoat.black salinsnmll clothes, while silk stockings, and red morocco slippers. Tt was a general practice In genteel families to have a tankard of punch made in the morning and placed on a cooler when tho season requlr ed it. At this visit Hancock took from the cooler standing on the hearth a full tankard and drank first himself, and then offered it to those present. His equipage was splendid,and such as is not customary at this day. Ilis ap parel was sumptuously embroidered with gold, silver lace, and other decorations fashionable a mong mep of fortune of that period, and lie drove, especially upon public occasions,-six beaulifid bay horses, attended by servants in livery. He wore a scarlet coat, with ruffles on his sleeves, which soon became tho prevailing fashion. 1,0(30 Foco M.vtoiiiw. -These useful house hohl conveniences were Ural introduced to the public in 1830.

In its account of the recent Spring Exhibition of the Brooklyn horticultural Society, the New York Tribune says: “We must notice one very remarkable curi osity, known as the Resurrection Flower. This flower, or rather plant, resembles in its nomi nal stale a dried poppy-head, with the stem at* # tached. Upon being immersed a moment or two in a glass of water, and set upright in the' neck of a small vial, in a few moments the open Ectals began to,burst-open gradually, yet visi ly to the eye ; they- continued to expand un til, throwing themselves back in equidistant or der, there was presented a beautifully radiated starry flower somewhat resembling both the passion flower and the sun flower, and yet mon).splendid; than either, -Tire unfolding still Continued until the peuds bent backward over what might be termed the base of the flower, presenting in bold relief in its centre its rosette of the most exquisite form and ornamentation, and thus assuming a new* charm, entirely eclipsing what, a moment- before, seemed its absolute perfection. After remaining open nn hour or more,the moisture gradually dissipates itself, and the fibres of the flower contract as gradually as they expanded, and it rc-assumcs ■ its original appearance, ready to bo unfolded again by the same simple procc?»a —the number ! of times seeming to be limited only by the Will i of the possessor. * 1 , “Dr. Deck, who brought this specimen from , Upper Egypt, suggeststhat the flower is n na tive of the Uoly Land and is a type or variety of the long lost Rose of Jericho, called Also the ‘Rose of Sharon,’ and the ‘Star of Bethlehem,’ and highly venerated for its rarity and peculiar properties by the pilgrims and crusaders ; and eagerly sought after by them as a-priceless cm* j Worn of their zeal and'pilgrimage, and worn on (their escutcheons in a similar manner as the i scollop shell and palm branch. ‘ This idea is strengthened by the fact that resemblances of 5 the flower, boin opened and closed, arc sculp tured upon tombs of two of the Crusaders bu ried in the Temple. Church of London, and also in the Cathedrals of Bayeux and Rouen In Nor mandy,where some of the most illustrious Cru saders arc interred. Its botanical position is difficult to assign, as it presents some pccu * liarilk-s of the highest and lowest classes. 1 The opinion most sanctioned is, that the flower is pericarp, or seed-vessel of the plant, ■ ! that it grows in-desert or sandy places, and ' falls, in due course<6f existence, from the pa > rent stem. Retaining its seed in an arid soil : and atmosphere, it is for months and years 5 wafted about by the winds, but from lack of 1 moisture keeping closed. Eventually, it .falls upon some damn spot, near some well or oasis, when it opens, deaposils its seeds, and thus, by a most exquisite adaptation of means to an i end,-exhibited in this beautiful phenomenon of nature, the work of reproduction is commenced and concluded. Horning Calls in Tunis, Lady E. S. Wortly, m her description of Tu nip, a»y* r- “People ppy jrlHUtMkVltuhlft-ln rath er a curious way, generally. On ordinary oc casions yon go, not exactly down your friends’ chimneys, but something very like ft. You walk from roof to rool, and make a descent where you will down a steep little staircase, communicating with a small door in the ter race-roof; ns there is neither knocker-or bell provided, the vtsitee has no chance of saying. •Nut at home,' and occasionally this must be tiresome ond Inconvenient; Indeed, one of my Tunis friends told me she oilcn found it un pleasant when engaged in the various indispen sable avocations connected with a well managed household. As for us. we had a very agreeable walk on the roofs, which are beautifully paved with broad stones, and often decorated with lii lie avenues of orange tree beds, and partcr« res of flowers, and dusters of all kinds of flow erlng plants—the orange trees affording a do* ' lighlful shade in the heat of the day. and the 1 Mower-beds the most odoriferous breathings— After wo had thus promenaded for some lime, we met the daughter of the American consul, who. like ourselves, was taking an agreeable little prowl. She invited us to come down the chimney nr through the trap-door, and see her father and mother, which vve had much plea sure in doing. The American consul’s lady told mo it was so long since she had been in the United States, that she had almost forgotten her own native place. After spending a short lime with Dr. Heap’s amiable family, wo as cended once more to the ro«»f, and again pro ceeded to nay a visit to Mrs. Perrier. One could not liclp, however, feeling a little Paul Pry-ish, thus continually and almost literally dropping in : but we were soon quite recon ciled to these slight peculiarities of Tunisian custom.

They became intelligent men. but they married uneducated and uncivilized wives ; and the result was that tho children were all like the mother, and soon the father lost his interest in both wife and children. And now, said he, ‘if wo could educate only one class of our children, wo would choose the girls, for when they become mothers, they would ed ucate their sons.’ " (£7" A week or so ogo, the jail at Spartans burg, S.

When a girl has arrived at a marriageable age, the young men of the village assemble by consent on a Sven night at the gallery of the chalet in .which the fair one resides. This cre ates no manner of surprise in the mind of her parents, who not only wink at the practice,but are never belter pleased than when the’charms of their daughter attract the greatest number of admirers. Their arrival Is soon announced by,sundry taps at the different windows. Af ter tho family in the house has been roused and dressed (for the sGcnc Visually takes place at midnight, when they have all retired to rest,) the window of the roomprepared for the occa sion, in which the girl is first alone, is opened. Then parley‘commences, of rather a boisterous description; each man in turn urges bis suit with all the eloquence'-and art of which he ia possessed'. The fair one hesitates, doubts,asks questions, but comes to no decision. Shatben invites thc.party to partake of a repast of cakes andkirscb wasscr, which is prepared for them on -the,balcony. . Indeed,'this emertoinment, with the strong water of the cherry, forms a prominent feature in the proceedings of the night. . „ After having regaled themselves for some time,- during which and through the window she has made use of all the witchery of woman s art, she feigns a desire to get rid of them, and will sometimes call her parents to accomplish this object; 1 The youths, however, arc not to bo put off, for, according to the custom of the country, they have come here, for the express purpose of compelling her, on that night, there and then, to make up her mind, and declare the object ol her choice. At length, after a farther parley, her heart is touched, or at least she pretends it is, by the favored swain. After certain preliminaries between the girl and her parents, her lover is admitted through the window, where the affi ance Is signed and seated, but not delivered, in presence of both father and mother. By con sent of all parlies, the ceremony is not to ex tend,beyond a couple of hours, when, After a second jollification with kirsch wnsser, they all retire—the happy man to bless Lis stars, but tho rejected to console themselves with the ’hope that the next tournament of lovemaking they may succeed better.

Swiftly glide our years—they follow each other like the waves of the ocean. Memory calls up the persons we once kncw--lhc scenes In which we once were actors, they appear be fore the mind like phantoms ot a night vision. Behold the boy rejoicing in the glory of his youth; the wheels of- time cannot roll too rap idly for him; the light of hope dances in his eyes—the smile of expectation plays upon his lips—he looks forward for long years of joy to i come; his spirit burns within him when he I hears of great men and mighty deeds—he wants | to be a man: he longs to mount the hill of am -1 bition, to tread the path of honor, to hear ine 1 shawls of Loo\t^,tAoe^ga^i^jTe-Fie< now in the meridian .of life, care pas stamped its wrinkles on bis brow, disnppointmcnt'b'as dimmed tho lustre of In's eye, some tliroivs its gloom upon his countenance; he looks back upon tho waking dream of youth, and sighs for its futility. Each revolving year seems lo diminish his happiness, and he discovers that the dream of youth, when the pulse of ontici patlnn beats high, is the season of enjoyment. Who is he of the aged locks? His form is bent and tottery—his footsteps move rapidly toward the tomb—he looks back upon the post his days appear to be few, he confesses that they were evil—the magnificence of the great is to him vanity; the hilarity of youth folly; he considers how soon the gloom of death most shadow the one and disappoint the other; the world presents nothing to attract and little to delight him; still, however, he would linger in it, and still he would lengthen out his days: though of “beauty’s bloom, of fancy’s flash, of music’s breath,” he is forced to exclaim, I have no pleasure in them.” A few years of infirmity and pain must consign him to the oblivion of the grave-yct thus was the gav .the generous, the high-soulcd boy, who beheld his ascending path of life, but such cannot be the ultimate destinies of man.

A few years a poor mechanic, of a very quarrelsome disposition, settled near a Chris tian farmer, whose friends expressed to.him their sympathy in the annoyance he was likely to receive. ‘‘Never mind,*’ said the good man. “I have never quarrelled with a neighbor, and I am 100 old to begin now.” Six months passed, and then began. a series of petty annoyances, which the fanner bore un complainingly; but this only irritated hia neighbor the more, until meeting the farmer one day in the height of passion, he poured up on hUn I i tofrcht of insult hndabusc. 'Friend, 1 1 said the fanner, gently, ‘*no \han tinder the in fluence of passion can reason clearly; come to Ime calmly, and we will discuss yourjjrievan *‘C£>v’’>'T?iei Ungiy"niaii rnlscff liidf clenched- hand to strike him, but was restrained by so mo un* seen influence, and both went on their way. About a week after, the mechanic was pass ing the fanner’s house with a load of grain. It was at the foot of the hill, and the Toad was heavy, lie coaxed, threatened and beat his oxen, but all to no purpose, lie must leave his load or ask aid of the man he had injured. Presently he saw the fanner unhitch his oxen from a load of hoy, and come towards him. — With kindly words the farmer proffered his as sistance, drew him safely to the summit, and without waiting for thanks, departed as he came. Here was a simple act. but m’ghty in Its influ ence. The mechanic was humbled, acknowl edged the purity and power of that religion that could '-bear and forbear.” and has, since that lime, never willingly provoked his friend.— Selected. Method.

While there arc so many hungry to feed, fallen to raise up. ignorant to instruct, and out-cast to redeem, there can surely be no reason why time should hank heavily upon the hands, even of those whom nflluant circumstances release from all care of providing for their own wants. The most careless observers cannot hut be struck with the vast difference in the households of their friends where there seems to ho an equal amount of labor to be performed and care to be exercised. We arc no friends of that precision which would sacrifice the comfort of all around rather than leave a certain piece of work un performed. yet we think some general system as closely conformed to as circumstances will permit, would greatly diminish the care, and equally enhance the enjoyment of many fami ly circles—while many young who now accomplish little beyond the general routine of society-might in this way (Iml tune for the performance of many diillrai now’ Wl * [Lndies Enlerpnsc.
