True Love—A nwiqdliuse.
The nature of love is the same as the soul ;
Incorniptible, infinite, spurning control.
'Tts a dentre of fire, which burneth within,
And naught can extinguish when once it begin
.
Oh, love! what adorablelight comes from thee,
When two are made one in thy grand mystery::
Comprehending each other, their souls Inter
changed,,
No more can these beings in life be estranged.
How radiant the hours with one whom we love,
Each moment is happiness sent from above.
They are hours detached from the angels, a then
Sent below to illumine the pathway of men.
When love melts and mingles two beings in one.
An angelic unity then is began; • •
The mysterious secret of life they have found,
ena togetner their souls in tau More= uouou.
*hen a woman in passingibeds on you her light,
Your heart is enthralled, and gone out In that
sight.
You IdrsT.think of her earnestly: all you can do,
And thus she will learn to think only of you.
CCM=
True love will dispair o'er the loss of a glove;
And a handkerchief found can to happiness move
This life Is too short for its infinite hope,
It eternity needs to develop° its scope.
True love, Nrith its childlikeness, ever is brave,
Will make every sacrifice loved ones to save.
In giving up all, love a pleasure receives,
Titus in giving recciveth ; receiving, it gives.
Oh! what a strange thing-, lam now In the night.
My loved one is gone; I no more see the light.
She has carried the heavens, in going away:
And now I'm despairing; in darkness I stray.
To be hid by her side is the same silent tomb.
With her hand clasped in mine, would dispel all
the gloom.
And thus in the darkness her fingers caress
Would suffice for my joy, my eternity bless.
Oh! you, who by loving mast tortures endure,
Let your love still increase, 'twill your sufferings
CUM.
E'en those, who by loving are fated to die,
Will by.: Joined with the loved onts in rannaions
on high.
There's a tranofiguration of stars In such love;
Crucifixion below, to be happy above.
'Tis cestaey's a,ony—rtptares of pain.
To suff:r—and then be happy a,gain.
0:1! love is the spring, when all nature is fair,
'Tin a breathing celestial of Paradise air ;
The ft ltve; s, their perfume, the birds in the grove,
The moonlight, the starbeam, all murmur of love.
Woe to him who shill love mortal bodies alone,
Kw when death intervenes then his idol is gone;
But in loving, love souls; for ‘vhen this life is
You shall find them again to be parted no more.
It is good to be loved, but to lore is sublime ;
For the passion ennobles the heart fur all time
Henceforth, its emotions are hqly and pure,
And this grand elevation will ever endure.
Not an unworthy thought in this heart finds a
place;
The soul becomes lofty, the mind full of grace;
O'er the clouds and the shadows of life it will
True lore inhabits the blue of the Akies.
They say—!h, well, suppose they do?
But can they prove the story true?
Suspicion may arise from naught
But malice, envy, want of thought;
Why count yourselves among the " they"
Who whisper what they dare not say?
They sal—hot why the tale rehearse.,
And help to make the matter worse?
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue;
And is It not a noble plan,
To speak of all the best you can?
They say--well, if it should be so,
Why need you tell the tale of wo r
Will it the better wrong redress,
Or make one pang of sorrow less?
Will it the erring one restore
Henceforth to " go and sin no more 4"
Tey say—oh ! pause and look within!
Sec how thy heart inclines to sin!
Watch, lest in dark temptation's hour
Thou, too, ahouldst sink beneath its power!
But speak of good, or not at all.

" I am sorry, Mr. Norton, if word or
deed of mine has ever led you to make
this declaration. I assure you I never had
the least suspicion that your affection for
me was more than that of a friend. I
am so accustomed to think of you as such,
that I never suspected that you cared for
me."
The speaker was a young lady of seven
teen summers, the daughter : of a Wealthy
naerchaitt of the city. But the scepe of
this dialogue was a charming villa in
Kensington. Very lovely she was'as she
stood leaning against the window, looking
up half frightened into the face of the
lifer
whom she was addressing.
Ifer dress of delicate blue, with a fall of
snowy lace at neck and wrist, set off her
delicate beauty, pure as the opening rose

" You are young yet, Katie," he said:
"I would not yet ask you to give np your
freeklorn; only give me hope, and I will
waft for yon as long as yon desire. May
I wait and hope on, Katie r
" I know I am young, Mr. Norton, but
not too young to decide. I owe you the
truth," she said, the blood crimsoning her
white forehead; "and, as a tried friend,
I cau trust you to my secret—l am already
engaged."
Then lam too late." And the frame
of the handsome young man trembled as
he buried his face in his hands.
Looking up some moments after, his
face white and haggard. as if from long
illness, he said, gently caressin,g the golden
head bowed sopiteously, "May you be
very happy, my Katie. l once hoped to
call you my own; now all that is past. I
cannot say I give up willingly, for it takes
the sunshine from my life; but if he is
worthy of you I will give you up, and
may the good Father bring yon all the
happiness I covet fur you, my little friend;"
and turnmg quickly, he left the room.
"Just my luck exactly!" sobbed Katie,
after he had kit her alone. "To think
that lie loved me, and when I would give
almost anything in the world to please
him, since he has been so kind, the very
thing he wants I must Ferns° him.
And Katie sobbed as if her heart would
bleak.
" Crying! Why, Katie, what ails you?
This is a new freak of yours. What is
the matter, Katie?"
And the gentleman seated himself be
side her, and turned to find the reason of
tier tears; but she would not answer him.
" I met Norton on the stairs," he con
tinued, "and he loooked us if he had lust
his last and only friend. Has he any
connexion wish those swollen eyelids,
Katie?"
" Oh, Henry, that is just it!' And
Katie told him all her trouble, adding.
-.I am so sorry, for lie has been so good to i
papa."
And so 3.. ~. ttt nun ? You
need not trouble yourself the least; hell
lire through it. [ never did like the fel
low," he continued, -his. brow growing
dark as some unpleasant memory crossed
his mind ; "and lam glad some one ou
whom I hate some claim can make him
feel as an ordinary mortal."
" You shan't talk so of Mr. Norton,
Henry Grey," and the blue eyes flashed
threateningly. "He has been one of our
very best friends during dear papa's illnesss
and I shan't listen to such language."
" Phew ! What are we now ?" And
the young stockbroker (for such he was)
opened his eyes in astonished wonder at
this unespecti.4l outburst from the un
usually good natured Katie.
"1 um a friend of Mr. Norton ; mid
after all his proof of friendship to me and
mine, I am nut going to hear of anyone's
talking of him in that style, much less
you of all others, Mr. Grey."
" Ha, ha, ha r' laughed the stockbroker,
seemingly much amused. "Really, Katie,
you are actually growing handsome.
What a treasure was lost to the stage
when you promised to be Mrs. G rey ! But
we won't quarrel about him. I have no
doubt he is a fine fellow; only every one
doesn't know it, and lie—"
" Henry Grey r threatened Katie.
"Beg pardon, but I had not forgotten.
By the way, Kit, the Wandering Minstrels
sing at Lady Chatterton's this evening.,
and I want to hear time'
" Thank you, Henry; ;Alt I do not care
to go."
" I care to hear the Wanderin,,, ,, MinStrel
of course you do. I will call for you at
seven," lie said, raising to go.
"Thank you, no; 1 do not wish to go
out at all this evening."
And Katie leaned her cheek against
her hand, andlooiced down steadily upon
the carpet, seeming to forget his presence.
" But I have set my heart upon going,"
he answered impatiently, "and I can not
g? alone, just for a whim. Come, Kit,
don't go into mourning over that luckless
Wight of yours, and deprive me and your
self of an evening's line entertainment."
" Yon forget that is a forbidden subject,"
she said ; "and us I am not well, I must
finally decline to accompany you. And
now, please don't say any more," she add
ed.wearily.
"Very well," said Grey, haughtily; "as
you wish ; and perhaps you would like to
cancel all my.e • ims upon your valuable
time, that you might, be free to_ accept
your very dear friend's proposition."
Katie looked at him steadily. in the
face.
"Even you shall not insult me, Mr.
drop. . If I loved you infinitely more than
I do, I should. never bind myself to
man
- who does, not hesitate to insult , me,
even before the vows arc taken, and that
without any reasonable- provocation."
And removing his engagement ring• from
her fingetcshe laid it on. the table beside
him. _ 'You are free," she said. And she
swept haughtily from the room before ho
could detain her.
“Fool,” he muttered, as he left the
•house, "to forfeit my &lima to the old
min's gold, when it was almost within
my control ! Fool ! that's what. a man
makes by letting his - jealousy get the bet
ter.of kusjudgmentl"
And he,ground his teeth in a fury; ‘—
' "Well, Katie," said her father, Ifsaiee;

yourself this evening.? Going out ?"

round to his chair. ". ""I may, caul I?"
" Of course you can ; but Grey told me
this morning that you had promised to
accompany him to hear the Wandering
Minstrels sing to-night."
" I never promised him," she answered,
quickly, "and I am not going; and papa—
And Katie hid her face on his shoulder.
" Well, Birdie,what do you want, a new
dress or a set of jewels?"
"Neither; but I wanted to ask you
not to say anything about. Henry ?"
" What do you mean ?" said tAlr: Lee;
in astonishment. "I am amazed, Katie."
"I gave him back his ring this morn
ing, papa. He insulted me and I would
not bear it."
And, .with her arms tightly clasped
around her father's neck, she told him all;
Mr. Norton's proposition, and the stock
broker's insulting words, about him and
to her.
"The rascal!" said her father angrily.
!intik norl r om alftd nf It_

and I knew it all the time. Never mind,
Katie dear; we will not trouble ourselves
about him in fntnre. We can be happy
without him, can't we?"
"Oh, yes, papa."
"Norton's a flue fellow," he said amus
ingly; "and if I wanted a son-in-law—
which I don't you know—l should—"
"Please, papa."
And Katie placed her finger playfully
upon his lips.
" Well, let me finish my wine, uow puss,
and I won't say anything more."
And he kissed the rosy fingers.
"Good!" he continued. after Katie had
left the room; "I am glad something oc
curred to break off that match. I never
did like that fellow; but Katie had her
heart set ',limn it, and I let her please her
self; now it is over I feel much relieved."
And he drew a long breath, as if a load
had been removed that had become a very
great burden to bedr.
'Tomas one morning early in Jae, a
bright, beautiful summer morn Itg 4 and
the birds were singing merrily, and flitting
about among the trees, turning their lit
tle songs in praise for the beautiful sum
mer. The light breeze 'came floating at
the window, redolent with sweet odor
froth the garden. Katie and her father
sat at breakfast in a room overlooking
the garden, and enjoying the birds' songs
and the perfume of the flowers.
"Katie," said Mr. Lee, after a silence,
"where shall we spend the summer—at
Scarborough, le, or St. Leonard's?
You have been a good girl, Katie, and
you shall choose."
" May I choose, papa dear ? Then wo
won't go to any of those stupid places,
where all the people do is to display their
fine dresses. Well go to the Welsh
mountains, and I will take all my plainest
dresses, and do nothing all the long sum
mer days but enjoy myself, Oh, dear old
papa, we mn go tow U lz.Vcl
And Katie put both arms around her
fatlier's neck and kissed him rapturous
ly.
And so it was decided that the water
ing places should be eschewed ; and when
the warm days of July came on, they
started for Wales.
What a happy girl was Katie, as, with
book in hand, she rambled over the hills,
her white dress and sunny curls flitting
among the trees, happy as a bird in her
unrestrained ftvedom. Her father almost
young again, followed her lead, enjoying
almost as much as she his freedom from
care and business.
Katie declared he was growing hand
some in the pure mountain air.
One morning M. Lee pleaded a bad
headaohe as an excuse fur staying in doors ;
and so Katie started alone. Her large
straw hat, tied with bine ribbon under
neath her chin, shaded herface from the
warm rays of the sun; and singing in a
low tone, she walked along till she reach
ed a place on the mountain side where
she could look far down into the valley
below.
Seating herself upon a mossy rock, be
neath the shade cf a friendly tree, she sat
watching the mist as it slowly arose from
the ground. As the rays of the snn rest
ed upon it, they scattered it on either side,
giving it the appearance of a bridal veil,
in which shone myriads of jewels thickly
interwoven in its misty folds.
" How beautiful !" Katie exclaimed, in
pleased wonder. "Dow very beautiful !"
" Very beautifn!, Miss Katie! May I
enjoy it with you ?"
" M r. Norton r' exclaimed Katie; "where
did you
. come from! Did not rise up out
of the ground, did you ?"
" Oh, nor' he answered laughing. "I
came from Cheltenham the day before
yesterday. Will von allow me a seat by
your side, Miss Katie, and we will admire
that picture together."
"Certainly. Excuse me." And Katie
moved aside in confusion.
Seating himself near her, he pointed
out the most beautiful portion of the
scenery about Lim, adding to their inter
est for her by his well selected •conversa
tion.
The morning passed rapidly away; and
when Katie thought of the time, it was
nearly lunch hour. Springing op, she
exclaimed, "What will papa think? I
must go now, he will be uneasy, and think
I am lost in the mountains."
" Please don't go yet, Miss Katie," he
said ; "I have not seen you for so long, I
am unwilling to spare you."
The thought of when be had seen her
last sent the waves •of crimson blushes
over her face.
"Como and take lunch with me. Papa
would be glad to see you, Mr. Norton,"
and she half turned aside, to hide her
burning cheeks.
Would not Miss Katie be pleased also ?
be asked.
"Oh, yes; I never' forget my friends,
and you, least of all. You have been so
attentive to. us, Mr. Norton."
'"Don't praise me, Katie. I do not
merit any, for my motive - was, I fear, a

gratitude."

haie brought a friend to see you." ,
"I, have tried to take care of her
this mornin",„, Mr. Lee,” said Mi. Norton,
offering his hand.
"Ohl well, my boy,how do you doe
said Mr. ,Lee, taking, him warmly by
-the
hand. "I should not have been alarmed,
if I had known she was.with pole-
" Thank you. That -is the greatest
compliment you could -pay me, Mr. Lee.
I will try to be .deserving of your coutl.
der.ce in tho future."
The summer days flew past on golden
wings. Katie enjoyed her early ,rumbles
more than ever, now that she had such
au agreeable companion ; and never giv
ing a thought to the future, she, gave her
self up to the pleasures of the present
moment.
Several times during their stay in Wales,
Mr. Lee chanced upon some remarks up
on Mr. Norton's long absence from their
bonse; but Katie would try to change
the subject as soon as possible, anxious to
w i lip or kir jr i ig&fmn any unpleasant
Daily and almost hourly they were
throwninto one another's society • and
Katie experienced a new feeling of rest
and confidence as she rambled day after
day among the beautiful scenery of the
Welsh mountains
The summer was far advanced; and
still our friends lingered, loath to leave
their quiet Welsh village for the noise and
din of the great metropolis; but 11fe. Lee
finally announced one morning at break
fast that he must return home, as some
business required his immediate atten
tion.
The last day on the mountains, Katie
started alone to,take a farewell look of her
favorite valley. --&atiug herself upon the
rock, she sat thinking of the past.
" One year ago to-day," she said, "just
one vear ago, and how changed I um?
If I had known—if I had only known r'
And leaning her head upon her hand,
she looked sadly down into the distant
valley—far, far below where she sat. A
well known step aroused her; and blush
ing crimson that the subjebt of her
thoughts should he so near, she moved a
little, and made room fur him at her side.
"So you are taking a farewell look at
our old favorite, Miss Katie ?" he said ac
cepting the seat she offered him. "Are
you sorry to leave ?"
"Yes, I shall not soon forget it, Mr.
Norton. This has been a very pleasant
summer, and I regret the return to Lon
don, with its endless routine of gaities
and its slavery to Fashion's rule. I would
like to stay here forever."
" You would not find it so pleasant
here in the winter months, Miss Katie.
I fear, after experiencing one of the severe
storms in these mountains, you would be
gin to wish for your London home."
" I presume I should. I forgot that
slimmer was not a perpetual insitution."
Katie laughed. "But this has been such
a pleasant summer, and I have been so
" It is the happiest summer ox
he exclaimed, suddenly turning towards
her; -and only for one thing, I should be
the happiest man in the world. Dear
Katie, forgive me, bnt I have not forgot
ten that the prize that I covet more than
any other in the world belon g s to another,
and the thought adds a bitter drop to my
cup of happiness."
Katie's heart throbbed tutiultuously
as she-listened to file impassioned words.
Here was her happiness almost within
her reach, if she would jest put forth her
hand it was hers. Should she put down
timidity, and make for herself and this
man sunshine for all life?
" Forgive me," he said, after a silence
of a few moments; "I would not offend
you, even at the cost of my life's happi
ness. Tell me you forgive me Katie.'
" I have nothing to forgive, Mr. Norton,"
Katie answered, her heart throbbing pain
fully, and she added with a great effort,
"You are mistaken in your surmise. I
have been free from my engagement for
a year. If you want me I urn yours."
And she hid her face upon his shoulder.
"Do you mean what you say, my dar
ling?" he exclaimed, clasping her closely
in his arms. 'My Katie at last!" and he
covered her face with his kisses.
Then Katie told him all the history of
the bl a st year and he listened to it all, his
brow growing dark at Mr. Grey's insult
ing words; but becoming bright again at
her expressions of faith in him.
The sun was sinking low behind the
tops of the mountains when they return
ed to the house. Mr. Lee sat alone in
the parlor when they entered, and walk
ing lip to him, Mr. Norton, "I love your
daughter, Mr. Lee, and we have come for
your consent to our union."
" You are the only man in the world
who should have her," he answered; "but
I believe you are worthy of her. May
you be very happy, my darling," he con
tinued, kissing her crimson cheek; "you
have been a good daughter, and will prove
a good wife, God bless you, my Katie."
The wedding came off in good time,
and a happier fireside is not to be found
in all England, than the home of our
friend Katie, who reigns supreme iu the
hearts of husband and father.

A Langlinbic Incident
The train from Mobile to Jackson re
cpntly brought up a lot of oysters which
was something never before seen by some
of the darkies present, who began to ex
amine them with great astonishment.
"What. de monf ?" exclaimed one of the
most inquisitive. "How urn eat eh ? Gol

his own wit. , "I'speo' some white man
Link nig a fool when he called dat tiug

Just then he discovered an oyster
slightly open, and seizing it ho eyed it
closely. Not satisfied with this examina
tion, Le placed it to his noise; hut no
sooner was the organ inserted between
the shells than they closed, when the dar
key howled with pain, and called out;
'•Pull em off! pull em off!"
But the more the oyster was pulled, the
more he would not let go; and so poor
entree danced and yelled; his frantic ef
forts to rid himself of uncomfortable na
sal ornament, wets both ludicrous and
painful.
"Hit um with a stick," said a buxom
wrench ; and in a moment the oyster was
knocked right and left with a hearty will,
but Cuffee's head went with it,
"Bin' he tail," cried a little nig, "and
ho sure let go."
But there was no tail to pinch, and
Caffee seemed doomed to wear the oyster
forever. At this moment au."intelligent
contraband" whipped out a kneo and it
severed the oyster. Case looked at the
shells with amazement, and finding the
oyster toothless, threw it away with the
remark :"Uta got no teef, but he gum it

the other; and his beard, uncropped,
tangled and coarse, fell down upon . his
bosom, as if to counterpoise tbo weight of
the thick. dark locks that supported them
