AN EXaVlSITE POEM.
The following original ballad, from the
muse of a western lady, jg of a beautifully
romantic ireeuom oi conception and meai
tire :
MARIE.
Liy your shining jewels by,
Put your silken robes awayt
Underneath thi. stormy sky,
On this dark and mournful day,
While a thousand .out. are lost,
Out upon the tossing sea!,
Can I ask ribbon', cost?
Can I look ut gauds like these 1
All last night, amid the gloom.
To my casement spirits came,
And I heard them call my name
Call my name, and weep and wail
Cousin! you are pale as snow!
Do you fear the angry sea t
Do you always tremble so
When the win it blow, fair Marie !
Let us talk of days gone by
Of these happy distant lime.
When we wandered you and I,
Through the fragrant grove of lime.
Then I had not loved and lost.
Then you were not wooed and wed,
But a laughing girl, initcad,
Counting up the pain, you cost.
Do you recollect, perchance,
Who walked with us in the grove,
Never speaking of his love,
But still singing old romaunts,
When the burden and refrain
(Doth the bounding of the sea
Make you writhe as if in pain ?)
Still wa. "love," and "(air Marie."
Ah ! he wa. a handfome youth !
Others whom you call so, are
Only unto him, in truth.
As the moth is to the star !
Oh, tfiC tTiglttiiesr of his eyes !
Oh, the dari ncss of hi. hair !
If he was not wtrldly-wise,
If his forehea! waa too fair
'Twas not long we knew him .o
On the day I saw him sail,
I, inc. were graven on his brow,
And his face was deathly pale I
His sweet eyes were fierce and colJ
When he went away to Ma
in an hour he had grown old!
How you shudder, fair Marie !
How some wise, coquettish girl
Might have trift-J with his heart !
Might have thrown away the pearl
After winning it, with art!
Might have daily, entiling, gaxed
Deep into those wondrous eves
Mijht have blushed beneath his praise
Might have trembled at his sighs
Might have tempted him with wiles
Might have flattered him with fears
Might have wooed him with her .miles
Might have won him with her tear.!
Then when all his heart was gone
Mocked him with her cruel scorn !
Is it but the moaning sea
That doth move yo'S, tir Marie t
Listen! No! it is loo late?
Had you listened, hour, past,
You had known how deadly F.te
Will avenge us all at la.t !
Did y.u hear no sound last night,
Wilder than the tempest shocks,
While a great ih:p, full in sight,
Beat her heart out on the rocks 1
Did not terror strike you dumb,
While tht castle-clock tolled ninel
Did no walling spirit, come
To your casement a. te mine 1
Do you hear no moaning now
In the moanings of the ea 1
Clasp your pale band, on your brow,
While you listen, fair Marie!
Go! false woman ! perjured wife !
To that hushed and silent room,
Where they laid last night in gloom
Him you robbed of love and life !
Go, and kneel beside tho dead
While your lord sits at his wine,
On your false breast lay thut head.
Dripping from the ocean brine !
Then, go don your wedding-gear.
Smile into your husband', eye.,
Far the dead man on hi. bier
To betray you, cannot rise !
But a volte shall haunt your r,
In the murmurs of the sea.
And a shadowy form be near
Evermore oh fair Marie!

llIE ENGAGEMENT.
A lady and eentlumaa were pacing a cov
ered walk one dull day in November. Both
were young ; he bad something of a military
air aboGt bid) a tall, tbio man. very dark.
She wai fair, with a calm face and pleasant
expression. Just now, however, ber features
were glowing with animation, ber cheeks
burning, aud ber eyri cast down i for be.
Charles Carnagie, bad been telling ber that
lie loved ber, aud sne would rather have bis
love than that of the whole world.
Lieutenant Caioaeie bad come on a visit
in the neighborhood. He bad accidentally
met with Susan Chase the very first day of
nn arrival, ana ne uaa contrived to meet her
pretty nearly every day since now some
weeks so that love bad grown tip between
them. A gossiping letter, received that
morning from a brother officer, spoke of a
rumor that tbeir regiment was about to be
ordered to the West Indies; and this bad
caused him to speak out.
"You know, but an," be said, "I cannot go
without yon."
A deeper blush still, then a trocbled ex
pression, and aba baif raised ber ryes.
"Mamma will not consent to that; she will
say I am too young."
"Susan" langhed Ur. Carnegie.
"Yes. What!" For bo teemed to have
found somo source of amusement, and laughed
still.
'Do yon remember the other evening, when
the Maitlacds came to tea, and tbe conversa
tion turned on marriage, your mamma in
formed ns she was married at seventeen t
You are eighteen, to tbe cannot consistently
bring forward your youth at an objection."
"Yea, but the also said tbat early marriages
were.". Miss Cbase stopped and blushed.
"That early toerriaeei were tbe incarnation
of imprudence and imoroDrietv." said Mr.
Csmagie ; "layies; tfee tofttfaHoa fo all tbe
ills rtnd disasters that flesh is heir to, from
an titiconscionable share of children, to a
riliued pocket and ruined health. My dear
&usan,.we will risk thrrn all, and cite her own
example when she holds out against us."
"Look at the rain !" suddenly exclaimed
Miss Chase, as thev fcnrhn to an oneninc in
tbe trees. "How long cab it have beennt"
"It's coming down pretty smartly. There
are worse misfortunes at sea, Susan. We
can turn back again, and wait its pleasure.
You are under shelter here."
"Hut indeed I dare not stay longer. I
wonder what the time is. Will you look,
please t"
Mr. Carnagio took out his watcb. "It is
on tbe stroke of twelve."
"Twelve!" she exclaimed, thunderstruck.
"Ttcelve! Charles, we bave been an hour
and a half What will mamma say ?'
"Nothing when she bears what we have
to tell her."
"Oh, Charley 1 I only went out to take a
message to the cottage, and she knows I might
have been back in ten minutes. Indeed I
must hasten in."
Ila opened bis umbrella, which he had with
him for rain bad been threatened all the
morning and, causing ber to take bis arm,
held it over her. She walked timidly; it
was the first time elio had ever taken it, and
the moment they came within vie of the
bouse she relinquished it.
"Susan, what's that fort"
"Don't you see mamma at the window?"
she faltered.
"Vest and T sec that she is looking at bs.
Como, Susan, take courage' a few minutes
more, and she will know that it is all as it
should be."
Mr. Carnagio laid bold of her hand, intend
ing to make it ngnin a prisoner; but Susan
drew it away, and Btarted ofT in the rain,
leaving him a'uil his nnibrella in the distance.
She bounded into the hall, panting. Her
mother came and met ber. Mr. Carnagio
was not far behind.
"Susnn. where bave you been?" ex
claimed Mrs. Chase, motioning her into the
sitting-room. "What has detained you?"
Of course she hud no excuse to offer, and
she murmured something unintelligible. Mrs.
Chuse only caught tho word "rain."
"uain ! you could noi nave waneaiorinai.
It has only just commenced. Where is it
that yon have been, Susan t"
"I believe I detained her, Mrs. Chase,"
spoke up young Carnagie. "I was coming
in here, and met her, and we uave oeen
walking in the covered walk."
Politeness kept Mrs. Chase silent. But
she did not allow her daughter to walk with
young men either in covered wains or un
covered ones, and she mentally prepared a
lecture for Susnn.
"Susan has been making me a promise,"
resumed Mr. Carnagie, folding and unfolding
a piece of paper which he took up from tho
table.
Not to co oat walking with you again, I
hope," hastilv interposed Mrs. Chase ; "for 1
cannot sanction it."
"Not precisely that. Mrs. Chase, she has
pronjiscd to be my wife."
Mrs. Chase was taken entirely by surprise.
A complaint on the chest, from which she
suffered constantly, caused her to be much
confined at homo, rarely, if ever, accompany
ing ber daughters in their walks or evening
visits; therefore she had seen little of tbe
progress of the intimacy. Susan sat down
on the sofa, and drooped her face, and ner
vously played with her untied bounet strings.
"Conditionally, of toursei" added Mr. Car
nagie, "that you have co objection. 1 trut
you will have none, Mrs. Cbase."
"Dear me I tins is very sudden," was all
that lady could find to utter.
"My lainilr I believe you know are of
great respectability ; aad 1 possess a few
thousands besides my commission. I will
try to make her happy, Mrs. Chase."
"1 bave beard you highly spoken of by sir
Arthur, Mr. Carnagie. Hut slill you must
allow me to coasider of this before giving a
final answer."
"Oh I certainly. I did not expert any
thing more. If you will kindly not take too
Qiucn time, be added, "lor 1 believe there
will be liltlu time to spare."
"I do not understand you," eaid Mrs. Chose.
"I had a letter from Drake, of ours, this
morning, aud he tells me there is a rumor
that we are to bo sect on to tbe est
Indies."
"And you wish fof the answer beforo you
go? that is natural. You shall have it."
"My dear Mrs. Cbase, 1 wisb for her belore
I go. I must take ber with me."
"Take are you speaking of Susan ?" utter
ed the astonished Mrs. Chase.
"Of course 1 am Several of our officers
are married men, and their wives tti'.l accom
pany them out."
"If Susan were older I would not say nay-
only three or four years older."
"1 cannot go without Susan. I never
could endure to leave her behind me, with
nothing more binding between us thta an
engagement. 1 might have to Stop odt there
for years before I could get leave to come
borne and claim ber. Dear Mrs. Chase, if
you are satisfied with me in other respects,
you must give your consent to our being
married directly."
"Mr. Carnagie 1 Do vod know Susan's
age?"
"Yes; eighteen. And you," be added,
with a bulf smile, "were seventeen when yeu
married. I heard you suy it."
Mrs. Cbase looked vexed.
"Trio, tbat was ray age," she answered ;
"and it Is that Very fact which has set me
agcinst early marriages for my children.
Tbey are most pernicious. Susan, where are
you going? Stay end bear what I have to
say ; it is How fitting that you should. Sit
down agaiu. I bave scarcely enjoyed a day's
health since I married, Mr. Carnagie. My
children came fast, many of them- worry,
noise, bnstle, toil I Oh 1 you don't know the
discomfort; and I almost made a vow that
my daughters should not marry until they
were of a proper age."
"May I ak what you would call a proper
age?" he asked, suppressing a smile.
"veil. 1 imnic the most DroDer and the
best age would be about five-and-twenty.
But certainly sot until twenty was turned.
"Susan wantt only two years of that.
Dear Mr. Cbt.se, I must plead that you
change your resolution in ber rase. Were I
stationary in England, and could occasionally
tea ber, it might be difl'erent. I must take
ber with me."
"Yoil ate tot sure of going V
"No, I mm not. Drake thought"
"We will not discuss it farther now." in
terrupted Mrs. Chase. "You bave nearly
atartled me out of my sober judgmeot."
"Very well. May I come io to-morrow
morning ?"
."If you like. I will then say yet er no,
but without regard to time."
"Now mind, Susan," be snatched a moment
to whisper, "if she if your mother still holds
out, and vows wa must wait an indefinite
number of years, we will Dot wait at all, but
jolt elope, M4 teiiM H uti wa. il l
unreasonable. I can't wait for you, and I
won't."
Susan Smiled faintly. She was not one of
the eloping tort.
Tho morning tame. Mrs. Chase had re
solved to accept Mr. Carnagie, finding that
Susan's "mind," as she called it, was set upon
bim ; and, indeed, there was no reason' why
she should not; but when Mr. Carnagie camo
she foi:nd there was something else to be
settled. He had received a summon to join
his regiment, which was then quartered iri
Ireland, and also a positive, though not offi
cial notification, that it was ordered to the
West Indies, and would be away lit two
months. Now, wns Su9an to go with bim of
not? Mrs. Chase Said no, be said yes; and,
alter much standing out on both sides, end
some slight indication of relenting on hers,
they somehow camo to tbe conclusion that
Susan should decide.
"My dear, decide prudent! v." fried Mrs.
Chase. "Think well over ell tbe fatal objec
tions I bave pointed out. Prudence, mind 1"
"Susan, darling, decide bravely," cried he ;
"don't be afraid. Tbiok bow happy we shall
be together I"
And poor buBan, amid a rush of color and
a flood of tears, decided to go.
"Ub, dear!" gronned Mrs. Chase; "there
will be no time to get you suitable wedding
things, Susan."
"No tinier echoed Mr. Carnagie ; "I
Could get an outfit made and packed iu three
dftye, and Susnn has double as maoy weeks.
I bbould think she miirlib buy up half the
shops in Great Britain by that time."
Mr. Carnagie made the best of his way to
Ireland, and Susan made the best use of ber
hands and energies Its preparing for her
change of prospects. In seven weeks tbey
were to be married, and in eight to sail. M r.
Carnagie bad interest with bis colonel, end
bad do doubt or obtaining another short
leave of absence. During this time Mrs.
Cbase bad Susau's likeness taken to console
them, she said, when Susan should be gone.
It was a good likeness, but it flattered her.
Susan ttrote a merry account of thla to Mr.
Carnagie.
One day when Susan's friend, Frances
Maitland bad Come in to help hor with some
delicate work, she began speaking of the
disposition of Mr. Carnagie.
"Susan, tell me : do you believe he is cal
culated, altogether, to make you happy ?"
"is there any reason why be Bbould not
be ?" was Susau's answer.
"He is so fearfully passionate." J
"Who says so?" demanded Sufnn, in a
tone of reseutment.
"Oh I bu is. Ask the Ashleys. There
was something up about a dog. It was when
Charles Carnagie was (.topping there. He
completely lost all self-control, aud rnshed
to his room for hii sword. Bessy met him
on tbe stairs; be was brandibiug it, and
looking like a madman. She says there waB
an awful scene Arthur declares he never
saw so violent a temper."
'Charlfs must have been greatly provoked,
remarked Susan.
'He provoked himself, I believe. Howev
er, Susy, it's your owu lookout. I'm sure I
don't want to set you against him. Marriage
is a loltery, at the best i 'for richer for poor
er, for better for worse.' You will soon have
to say that, you know."
Susan Chuse hud not soon to say it. The
time of the wedding drew on, and on the duy
previous to that fixed for it, Lieuttnat Car
nagie arrived at Stopton, having obtained his
leave of absence. Mrs. Chases house was
at tome distance from it, but it was a Due,
frosly morning, and be set out to wulk.
He had come nearly in view of the bouse
when be met a funeral. It startled Mr. Cur
ratio considerably, for surely it Lad come
from the very bouse be was bound to. There
were only some halt dozen cottages beside
that tho road led to, juat there, and that
style of funeral was hot likely to como from
a poor Cottage, lie vaulted over a gale by
the roadside, and peeped tbroUcrh the hedge :
a hearse and several carriages. When it
passed he came forth again, leaned over the
gtte, nud gazed after it. Some children drew
near, followiug the sight fa awe, gazers like
himself.
"Who Is dead J" ho inquired of them.
"Who is it that is being taken to be buried ?"
"fl'.rs. Cbase, sir."
"Mrs. Chase 1" be ottered, horror-stricken.
"What did she die of?"
The children did not know only that "she
died because she was ill."
' Can you inform me what Mrs. Chase died
of?" the young officer repeated, for a woman
now camo up.
"Was it any accident ?"
"No, sir, no accident. She has been ailing
along time some years and she got sud
denly worse at the lust, aud died," was the
womau's answer, who evidently did not know
Mr. Carnagie. "It was so quick that bo sons
did not get bet here in time to see her, nor the
little Miss Ibut wbb at school."
. He was terribly shocked, almost unable to
believe it.
"When did she die?"
"Ou Tuesdoy, sir. Foiif days ago."
"Are they not burying her very soon ?"
"Well, sir, tbe funeral was fixed for to-morrow
1 know all about it, you tee, because 1
bave been in there, since, helping tbe servants
But to-morrow, Saturday, was to have been
Miss Chase's wedding-day, and 1 believe she
couldn't bear t'ue idea, pour tiling I of the fun
eral taking place on it wbat wai to have
beeu so different. Then the next day was
Sunday, and one of tbe sons was obliged to be
back at bis college on Monday, So they set-
lieu lor io-dy."
Stunned with tbe news, Mr. Carnagie turn
ed buck. '1'hero oeemed an indi'licuuy in his
going to the bouse at that moment, and be
wailed till the after purl of the day, and went
tleu. A servant showed bim into a darkeued
room, and Susan came to meet him.
He thought she woule have tried herself ill.
Her emotibo was pitiable. He clasped her
in bis arms, and she lay there and sobbed
aloud, qti.le hysterically, like a child cries.
Sbo could give bim but little more informa
tion than bad previously been imparted.
I beir dear mother s coiU lainl bad loaan an
unfavorable turn, and had carried ber off al
most without warning One of ber brothers,
Susan said, had written to bim on Tuesday
nigbt after it happened. Mr. Carnaitie bad
left Ireland before the latter got there.
"Susan," be whispered, when the Wat little
calmer, "must this entail a separation on ut V
She looked at him, hardly understanding.
"Must we wait? Mult 1 tail without you ?"
"Charles, tbat is almost a cruel question,"
she said, at length, "How coald too ask it ?
Would you have me marry you before my mo
ther li cold iu the grave? A year, at any rate,
must pass over."
"It may be much longer than that, t shall
not get leave to readily again. Ob, Sutao !
this is a .hard trial."
"It ia the will cf God," the sighed, "and we
must bear It."
"I ahall not bear it patiently. I shall get
married to one of the copper, balf-cast na
Uvte, cat of dto:e, or otntbin tl deeper.
ate. Fancy what it will be condemned to
vegetate by myself that stifling climate, and
you some millions of miles away."
Susan was silent, paiDed at tbe tone of tho
remark, and at that moment a girl of fifteen
opened the door and looked iri, wearing deep
mourning, like herself.
"Como in, Emma, darling," she fondly said,
drawing her sister towards hor. "This is Mr.
Carnagie, who was to bave been io nearly re
lated to os to-morrow. Charles," she added,
'were there no other reason, 1 ttitist have
stayed to protect this child. My mother es
pecially bequeathed her to me."
Emma Chase, who bore a resemblance to
her sister Susan, felt a restraint in that
stranger's presence, and she fcilently with
drew. "Well, this is a eloomt prospect for us:su-
an," resumed Mr. Carnagie, who could not
get over his disappointment, "it is no joke
wnat soy mat it may be years belore 1 can
come to fetch you."
She raised her byes to bis in all the expres
sion nf their trtfsling confidence. "No mat.
ter bow many, Charles you will Iind bio wait
ing for you."
"But it is hard, Tor all that."
"Do you think pray forgive me if I sug
gest anything wrong or uuplcasing that if
you were to return at once to yottr duty, with
out taking the leave granted you now, (except
tbe time occupied in traveling, which cannot
be avoided,) that they would be more inclined
to allow it to you when you next asked ? It is
an idea that has occurred to me"
"Perhaps so. It is not a bad notion. But
Susan, 1 would rather spend it with you."
"We ure so sad just uow," sbo murmured
"all the house."
Tbero was something in her tone which
seemed to convey an intimation that his pre
sence might not be acceptable to that house
of sorrow or, ot least Mr. Carnagie fancied
so. And be did think her suggestion of go
ing back to bis duty was a good one."
"Theu, Susan, 1 think 1 had better make
up my mind to leave you, and start back this
very uight."
"It may be better." sbo answered, tbe tears
standing in her eyes.
"And in another year, my dutlibg, if alls
..ell, I trust J shall come and claim you."
"I trut .o," she whispered.
He had in bis pocket the wedding-ring,
which be had bought as he came through Li
verpool, and he drew it forth and slipped it ou
ber linger on th one he ought to huve slip
ped it on iu the church on the morrow.
"There, Susan ; now that binds you to me.
Let it stop there till till 1 take it off to put
it on again."
"Not on that finger," she remonstrated;

Susan was going on the day br.l otie follow

Emma came dancing in, with her merry

We Will tell the story os related it :
I had bought a fine silk umbrella, odJ star

when I began to reflect upon my extravigance
and to wonder, os 1 tripped along proudly
under its broad and safe cover, whether or not
it would go tho way of all umbrellas, and
loovo mo to the pitiless pollings ol the storm,
before tho day was over. True, I could keep
it in my hand ; but then T was occasionally
so absent-minded that 1 would be just as npt
to est it down in n public bar room, or ev u
to have it quietly taken out of my bnnd by
somo adroit purl'oiucr. Suddenly on idea oc
curred. I stepped In a hardware Btoie aud
purchased a small padlock.

brella, slipped the lock on to tho wire spring
