Ot'R F.AItLT LOVED.
BST FRANCES BROWN.
Our early loved—how their memory clings
To the hearts that love no more !
L.ke a rose that still in its sweetness springs,
Where a garden's pride is o'er ;
Tho' the weeds and thorns may long have defaced
The place of the perished flowers,
Yet that lingerer gladdens the cheerless waste
With the bloom of its brighter hours !
Our early loved—hath their after path
From our steps far parted been ?
Hath the hand of power, or the flame of wrath,
On life's barriers risen between ?
Yet still, in our dreams, their shadows come,
O'er the parting waste of years,
Though the path is marked with many a tomb,
And its sands are wet with tears !
They come with a light left far behind
On the distant mountain's brow,
Where the sunrise shone on the waking mind
That is dark with shadows now ;
But ever as the morning star returns
To brighten the evening shades,
The lamp of their memory brighter burns,
As the spirit's daylight fades.
Our early loved—have we found them changed
In the "gloom of our winter days—
And their bright looks blanched and their looks
estranged,
Till they scarce return our gaze ?
But far in the land where storms or time
Can no longer sear or chill,
In the light of our memory's cloudless clime
We shall find them changeless still!
Hath the grass on the grave grown rankly green
Where we laid, so long ago,
Our first affections, all unseen,
In their deep and quenchless glow ?
Alas! for the dust so darkly piled
O'er the bright but buried gem ;
But safe are the treasures Death hath sealed—
-44 For there comes no change on them
We may love again—and the later ties
Of life may be bright and strong;
But if broken, never in memory's eyes
Will their fragments shine so long ;
And thesbrinesof ourchildhood'sstainlees faith,
We may leave them far and cold ;
But the heart still turns to the stars of youth
With a love that ne'er grows old !
MERCY. —Mercy is Goodness in tears.
Goodness is kind to the good ; Mercy is
kind to the bad. Goodness, extendelh a
helping hand to him that can already walk ;
Mercy to him that is prostrate and cannot
rise. Goodness makes good men out of
nothing ; Mercy makes good men of bad
men. Goodness puts li\ing man into a
beautiful garden and bids him dress it ;
Merev erects the cross and bids dying man
look and live. Goodness gives to the
vounger son the portion of goods that fal
ieth to him ; Mercy sees the prodigal a
great way off, and has compassion, and
runs, and falls on his neck, and kisses him.
He that makes light of Goodness, sins ; ■
he that makes light of Mercy is doubly
damned.— A. Y. Recorder.
HE CAREFUL HOW YOU SPEAK. —Hush !
Whv should you speak against the char
acter of a female ? It is all she has to
depend upon in this world. Just give the
impression wing, that she is not so good
• s she should be, and it w ill fly to every
nook and corner of the town. The story
you whisper will return in tones of thun
der, to astouish even yourself, who was
the first guilty wretcli to repeat so base a
story. A word has often proved the ruin
of a virtuous soul—a word thoughtlessly
poken, it may be—but reported by an evil
mind. Suppress any thought which, if
uttered, might injure the character or the
feelings of another. A thought may be
stifled at its birth, but a word spoken, may
never be lost. Weigh everything you ot
ic r, so that none can misconstrue your
language or receive a wrong impression.
Above all, never, even in jest, whisper
words, which, if true, would throw a
flight upon a spotless reputation.

March is a busy month to the gardener,
requiring energy and judgement, with a
determination to accomplish whatever he
undertakes. No fanner should be without
n abundant supply of vegetables through
out the \ear ; it is a daily, coiulort, a pre
cursor of health, and with many a luxury,
uat from a dilatory disposition lie never
tnjovs.
The first crops in the ground should be
{"■ as, beet, radishes, potatoes, carrots, eab
fage, and onion sets. klr Manure well,
'-'id dig or plough Sow extia
early and marrowfat peas in rows, tire for
cer tw o feet and the latter three feet apart,
and three inches deep. Set in rows eigh
'at-n inches apart, and the seeds about two

ishes as soon as ready ; hoe the ground
: well, and thin out the beets next month to
I four inches apart. Sow a patch of yellow
|or white summer radishes. Sow early
| butter and Indian lettuce ; the first will be
ready in May, the other in June. Sow
1 celery in rich, light, warm soil ; make the
earth line, and water freely ; it is a profit-
I able market crop. Sow onion seed very
thick in shallow drills, to grow sols for
next season. The early horn and Altring
ham carrots are the best flavored ; sow the
former in drills eighteen inches apart, and
the latter twenty to twenty-four inches.—
They do not like richly manured soils.
Sow tomatoes in a pot or box for an early
crop ; place it under glass or in the kitchen
window, where it will appear quickly and
be ready to plant out about the end of
April or towards the middle of May. A
few early turnips are advisable ; if you do
not sow early, you will not have a crop till
the fail sowing. Cabbage are indispensa
ble (so I think); sow early York, oxheart,
and drumhead, and make a second and
larger sowing of the latter to plant out in
June, for fall and winter use ; also remem
ber red Dutch cabbage for pickling ; they
arc a beautiful garniture for table, and to
many very palatable.

THE RUNAWAY MATCH.
BY JANE WEAVER.
44 Caroline, I wish you would remain a
moment,' said .Mr. Warren, as his daugh
ter was about to leave the parlor.
44 Well, papa," she said 44 what is it ?"
She strove to look unconscious, but iter
varying color, and the nervous movement
of her lips, betrayed secret agitation ; in
tact, she suspected the purpose of Iter pa
rent.
44 I thought," said Mr. Warren, 44 that,
when I forbade young Collins my house,
you were prepared to submit to the pru
dence of my decision. We talked the
matter over, Caroline, if you remember,
and 1 was at considerable pains to con
vince you that he was idle, wasteful, and,
I feared, dissipated, in short a very unlit
person for any woman to trust her happi
ness with.—A ou silently agreed with what
1 said, at least, you said nothing in reply.
I fancied 1 had persuaded you, for i
thought your own good sense, to which 1
appealed, would see the matter in a light
similar to that in which I and your mother
beheld it. Judge then of my inexpressi
ble pain, when 1 saw you walking, arm in
arm, with him, in the outskirts of the city ,
to-day."
lie paused, and Caroline held down her
head abashed. 44 1 was not mistaken,"
she said, to herself, 44 it was pa whom I
saw."
Mr. Warren waited for more than a
minute, for her to reply, but, as she con
tinued silent, he went on—
" Now, Caroline," he said, " 1 wish
you to look on me, as what I am, the best
friend you have in the world, and one who
has no motive, much less any wish, to ad
vise you wrong. It is a common mistake
of young people, especially of those of
your sex, to suppose that their parents
wish to tyrannize over them in the alfair
of marriage. Believe ine, nothing is gen
erally further from a parent's thoughts !
It is not unfrequent indeed that a father
differs from a daughter as to the wisdom
of her uniting herself with a certain suitor ;
hut, in such cases, the father is, nine times
out of ten, right, and the child wrong.
The parent, from his knowledge of men,
from what he hears on the street, and from
other sources, usually arrives at a juster
conclusion respecting a young man's char
acter, than a daughter, who has little, or
no means of ascertaining the truth, in
the case of this young Collins, I know
him to be extravagant, idle, occasionally
intemperate in his habits, and head over
ears in debt; besides this, lie has a i io
lent temper. 1 beseech you, Caroline, my
dear, do not give way further to this infat
uation of yours."
As Mr. Warren spoke, lie approached
his daughter and tenderly took her hands.
She burst into tears, looked up into bis
face, and said— 44 Oh ! but papa, I love him,
and he loves me : lie says, he will throw
himself away if 1 do not marry him :
surely, surely, if I can 1 ought to reform
hiin."
Mr. Warren shook his head. 44 Caro
line," he said severely, 44 this is sheer fol
ly, miserable infatuation ! No woman
ever reformed a man, whose principles
were so loose as those of Collins; a
wretch, who, in his own words, will throw
himself away if you do not marry him.
Listen to my words, child, for you are
weaker than I thought, and I must rule
where I would prefer to persuade—if ev
er you marry Collins, from that hour this
house is shut against you."
The tears of Caroline flowed faster.
Mr. Warren, after a turn or two across
the room, softened again, and addressed
her in kinder tones—
-44 My child," he said, 44 I speak thus for
your own good. 1 know, if you marry
Collins, that you will regret it, and I would,
by interdicting ih spare you much future
sorrow. I will never urge you to unite
yourself with nnv man \ ou do not fancy.
FRIDAY EYEMX;, RAKCII 13, ISSO.
i however excellent I may think him to be ;
this, I promise you ; and on your part, I
. shall expect you to give up this acquaint
ance. To-morrow, I will look for your
promise to this efl'ect. Go, now, and think
of it; lam sure you will obey me."
lie stooped down, and kissed her ten
derly ; and then Caroline still weeping,
rushed from the room.
liut was it to think, as her father de
: sired, of her duty ?
i Alone, in her chamber, she recalled, at
alternate moments, the words of her pa
rent and the insidious persuasion of her
lover : and alas ! the latter had most in
fluence with her.
Caroline was not exactly a weak girl,
hut she had fallen into a bad set at school,
and from it imbibed many hurtful notions
ola child's duty to her parents, especially
in a ease of supposed affection. She had
read, not good novels, but visionary roman
ces ; and these had strengthened her mis
taken ideas. Her present suitor was a
handsome, designing libertine, who, know
ing her father to be rich, desired to possess
the daughter's hand, as with it, went a
large fortune. The finished manners of
( oil ins, had easily won her liking, for we
cannot call it love, and, imagining herself
to be in a similar position to her favorite
heroines, she regarded the opposition of
her father us oppressive and unreasonable.
That very day her suitor had urged her
to elope with him, and she had consented
to do so ; but her parent's kind expostula
tion had, now lor a tune, shook her pur
pose. Finally, however, the vanity of
being the heroine of a runaway match, as
well as her biased views respecting the
supposed injustice of her father, induced
her to fulfil her promise ; and, at the dead
of night, she left her home forever.
We say, left her home, for she never
had another. Mr. Warren proved true to
his threat, anil was the more inflexible,
because Caroline had eloped, on the very
night he had plead so earnestly v itli her.
44 She left me, with my kiss still warm on
her cheek," he said ; 44 she preferred
another, and a stranger to me ; she treated
me. not like her best friend, but like an
enemy ; and henceforth she is banished
from my heart."
"A es ! she never again had a homo.
Her husband took her to a hotel, where
they remained for several weeks, hoping
daily to receive a summons from her fath
er ; but, as none came, they were forced
at last to retire to a cheap boarding house.
Here, amid indifferent society, Caroline,
who had been tenderly nurtured, learned
soon to feci acutely the advantages of
which she had deprived herself, and
yearned for her old home.
It her husband had reatlv loved her, or
il she could have continued to persuade
herself that her father had been unjust,
she might have found some alleviation in
her altered fortunes. But her husband,
angry that Mr. Warren was inexorable,
now began to punish Caroline for her
father's firmness, by neglecting her ; and
left her, evening after evening to amuse 1
herself, while he spent the hours at the <
billiard table, in the theatre, or with some '
gay friends over a bottle or two of wine. I
It was now that Caroline saw the correct
ness of the judgement, which her father '
had expressed respecting Collins. She
not only soon learned that he was both
idle and a spendthrift, but discovered that
lie was intemperate, passionate, and un
principled.
Often, when lie came home excited bv
wine, he would address her in the most
brutal manner, charging their present pov
erty on her or rather on her 44 niggardly
lather, as he called Mr. Warren, to her
face. At last, one night, he returned, in a
stite of violent excitement, from the gam
ing table, w here he had lost largely ; and,
finding Caroline weeping, struck her a
blow, in a lit ol passion, that felled her to
the floor, where she lay bleeding.
And ibis was the end of her dream of
romance ! Into this life of slaverv, into
this deep degradation, her vanity had led
her! Ashamed to tell the truth and
throw herself oil her father for protection,
she endured, for more than a year, even
variety of insult front her husband ; her
health, meanwhile, consuming aw;iv, and
spirits, which had once bcctl so high,
utterly broken.
Oh ! how often she repented of her ful
ly.—How, when she had heard of others
of her sex forming clandestine marriages,
she would shudder, and exclaim— 44 alas !
the chances are they w ill he \ et as miser
able us I am. Can they not see, that the
man, who persuades them to disobey their
parents, shows, in that very thing, a want
of principle that promises little for their
happiness with him
But the eup of her misery was not yet
full. Nhe had been married a little over
a year when her husband left her to visit
a neighboring city ; and, though she wait
ed his return long after the promised
day, he never came. At last a letter from
him Was put in her hands ; and the mis
sive announced, in the most unfeeling
terms, that he had left her forever.
She sank in a swoon, and lay for hours
before she recovered. When she regained
consciousness, it was to shudder at her con
dition ; for she was penniless; with board
lor many weeks due, and not a friend on
could call for the slightest liaii.
| Suddenly, the parable of the Prodigal Son
came up to her memory.
" I will arise and go unto my father,"
she said, humbly, in the words of that
beautiful story; and, with the exclama
; tion, she went forth, to seek her old home
and sue for forgiveness, heart broken as
' she was.
It was snowing fast, but she did not
i heed it. She had thrown on her bonnet,
and a light shawl; but had forgotten to
change her thin shoes, or to assume a
, cloak. The melting flakes penetrated her
slight attire, but she hurried 011, breasting
| the wild tempest.
&lie arrived, at last, in the proud square
| where her father lived ; and stood, a few
; seconds after, in front of the house. The
window shutters were still open, though
! twilight had set in, and through the lace
; curtains the ruddy glow of the lire within
shot athwart the stormy night. A sharp
pain twitched her in the heart; she felt
faint ; and, staggering up the steps, just
managed to pull the bell, when conscious
ness deserted her.
J he servant who answered the door
started and cried out when he saw an ap
parently ldeless corpse lying on the steps,
j with the fast tailing snow rapidly covering
J it ; and .Mr. and .Mrs. Warren, who were
| sitting by the parlor tire, coming out to
i learn the cause ot the disturbance, stag-
I gerrd to behold, in this emaciated form
their disobedient child.
1 hey took her in, they wrapped her in
warm clothing, they laid her in her old
bed ; hut it was all of no avail. She re
vived just enough to ask forgiteness, and
j received it from them weeping. Then
| murmuring blessings on them, she died. j
This may be thought a fancy sketch ; '
but it ;s not. It may be considered an ex- i
' eessive case, it is not that either. Caro
line ( ollms, or \\ arret), as we would rath
: er call her. was early delivered from her
sufferings ; and in that, terrible as death
may seem to the young and happy, she
was blessed. There are others, victims
j <d runaway matches, who drag on an ex
| istence so miserable that the grave itself
would he a relief.
But, as the Scripture impressively savs,
, 44 they that sow the whirlwind, shall reap |
the storm."
