In Vain.
In vain! in vain! those blighting words,
How sadly on the heart they fall!
Lilce_croaking of ill - boding birds,
Turning its sweet delights to gall,
One voice rings ever in the ear.
One thought is dwelling in the brain ;
From youth to old from year to year.
That all our toilsome life is vain.
Oh, love hath many a graceful flower,
And hate has many an evil eye,
And hope full many a promised dower,
And fear has many a death to die.
Joy hath his night of revel—care,
Its season of distress and vain,
Sorrow her wreath of verdure bare,
And these—are they not all in vain
All that philosophy hath taughl.•
All that the mind aspires to know.
That heaven-led geniad• ever caught,
Of beautiful, abovfibelow—
All that the earthbprn soul would seek,
Of worldly spell and worldly gain,
That fiction paints or truth can speak,
In vain l—liow are they all in vain.
All he wit° nightly searched the skies
For thelost Pleiad, turned away
With. faiiiting heart and aching eyes,
Übblest, unlighted by its rays—
So man through life is bound to crave
Some good he never can attain.
His destined goal—an'unsought grave,
His epitaph —"Life is vain."
_Miscellaneous Selections,
MARRIAGE FEES
I once heard a little incident, said to have
occured to a venerable clergyman of Phila
delphia city, now no more, but who if named
would be instantly recognized, as faniilar to
many ; and as it appeared somewhat inter
esting to me, I narrate it.
It occured some thirty years since, at
which time our reverend friend was called
upon to officiate at the nuptials of the only
child, and daughter of the most wealthy re
tired merchant of this place, then residing a
few miles in the country.
The time which had been appointed for
the wedding, proved to be a chill, rainy day
towards the latter end of the month of Sep
tember ; the rain having commenced falling
on the might preyipus, continued through
out the day. Thelpads were in a misera
ble condition the rain falling upon them still
heavy with dust, rendered them almost im
passible in mud. This Wticailything but a
pleasant prospect for the docforilmtweddings
you know, must not be delayed,tioi doclergy
men, generally, in the least desire "it ilbey
entertain a peculiar partiality for
They find pleasure in uniting "two fitd=l
hearts," and they find profit in it. So, batring
the weather, the doctor had no reason to com
plain, and rain or shine he was bound to go.
Accordingly a horse and carriage was pro
cured, and the doctor, fully equipped for
the journey, was soon on his way to the scene
of his bridal festivity.
At the country mansion all was in readi
ness against his coming, and when he reach
ed there some time after night fall be found
the bride and her lover already awaiting him.
It was not necessary to lose any time, and
the doctor was not long in entering upon his
appropriate offices. The necessary prelim
inaries being speedily arranged, within a
spacious hall, richly ornamented, and in the
presence of a gay and_ numerons company,
the doctor pronounced the nuptial ceremony.
The scene was unusually effecting and to
the doctor himself. The bride as we have
said was nn only child, and aside from her
education and accomplishments, upon which
every attention had been bestowed, she. pos
sessed qualities of heart which endeared her
to all. She was amiable and affectionate ;
and these traits, conbined with sincere and
early piety, had won the reverend old gen
tleman's highest friendship and esteem.
To one thus interested in the happiness
of a bride, the joy attendant upon the cele
bration of nuptials is never unmingled with
tender emotions, and tears of parental sym
pathy trickled down the pious countenance
of the old gentleman, as at the conclusion of
the ceremony he invoked the smiles of heav
en for the future happiness of the newly
wedded. Nor was ho alone in these feelings
a solemn stillness for a while prevaded the
whole company ; yet like a transient cloud
in the morning, it was soon dispelled, leav
ing all bright and cheerful as before.
Shortly after the ceremony was over, the
doctor prepared hiiiiself, without delay, for
home ; so taking an ellectionate leave of the
the bride, and her happy partner, he order
ed forth his vehicle. Not a word yet had
been said concerning the marriage fee ; as for
himself, he was too much absorbed in reflec
tion to have given a thought upon the matter.
The "fee;" however, such as it was, had
not been forgotten : but Mr. E., the bride's
father after accompanying and assisting him
into his carriage, placed in his hands a lit
tle package, containing as he said, "a pres
ent," for himself, and a "little notion," for
his wife. The doctor presuming of course ,
t at it was his fee and no doubt a rich one,
which was thus modestly tendered, accom
panied with some small token for his wife,
thanked Mr. E., accordingly, and the court
esies of the night, being exchanged, the doc
tor lost no time-in regaining his home.
_gentlemeni_aftet twe
hours ride through rain and mud, well
drenched and bespattered, sitting by his fire
side opening with the eager assistance of
his wife the above mentioned package: . Ima

unpretpding . pair of gloves.
fortunately for our friend, the doc
tor, of all things he knew best how to brook
'disappointment. It is characteristic of the
profession in general ; hence his share of the
disappointment was soon smothered, and he
contended himself with the reflection that
his-services-had-been-well-repaid all_ready,_
in having been rendered to one whom he
felt most happy is serving.
. Not so with his wife. Like most of her
sex ; nye,and all of her kind disappointments
wore not in the least agreeable to her ; be
sides, on this occasion, as she was personal
ly interested, her's was by no means small.
The marraige of Miss E. had long•been in
comtemplation and as long had the doctOr's
wife been anticipating a rich fee for her
husband, which according to good-natured
agreement existing between them in rela
tion to the above marriage, they were to di
vide equally ; and no marvel is it that she
had magnified her share into "something
very handsome."
For sometime she was speechless with
vexation and disappointment. She knew
not how to vent her feelings ; she felt hurt as
well as vexed and disappointed.
"Certainly, lam greatly at a loss , to ac
count for this," at length she exclaimed, re
covering her-self, "surely I never would
have expected this from Mr. E."
"Tut ! tut ! my dear," returned the doc
tor. "I am sure it's not worth the while
grieving about it."
"Indeed I think it is," rejoined his wife
somewhat vexed, and tossing at the same
time the gloves from her. "I'm sure your
ride through the mud and rain was itself
worth ten times as much."
"Well, well," said the doctor, "I am very
well satisfied and see no reason why you
should be otherwise."
So saying he was in the act of spreading
out the neckcloth to examine its dimensions,
when, lo ! a hundred dollar note dropped
upon the floor.
If by touch of a magic wand the doctor had
converted the cambric into a silken scarf,
the surprise of his wife could not have ex- '
ceeded what she now felt. She knew not
what to say first. No time was lost, how
spar in re•obtaining the gloves ; and if her
surprise was great before, it was in no de
gree diininished when a ten dollar note was
discovereitAnugly stuffed in each thumb and
finger.

But let us drop the curtain on'tlus.liappy,

Mier in Winter.
Many people complain of being unable to
make yellow butter in winter. Some cows
will yield yellow butter at all seasons,
others not at any season, much however,
depends upon the kind of food given to the
cow. I think the freezing of milk talces the col
or out, and ipjures the butter. I prefer set
ting milk where it will not freeze till the
cream has all risen; next to that, I like the
practice of scalding_the rnillt till the minute
bubbles begin to rise from the bottom of the
pan, and let it stand from twelve to eighteen
hours, when the cream will be all at the top
in a rich mass that may , be cut ; hence the
name "clotted cream," which always yields
a large quantity of butter in proportion to
its bulk, with a very little churning. I have
seen a bowl of this cream converted into but
ter by stirring with a common table spoon
in three minutes. The butter has a pecu
liar sweetness, and the cream is considered
a great delicacy, particularly among Eng
lish people, eaten with fruit at dessert.
Any desired shade of yellow can be'giv
en to winter butter, without in the least in
juring the flavor, by grating an Altringhani
carrot into a little milk and straining into
the cream. I mentioned this kind of carrot
because it is higher colored and consequent
ly less of the juice is required. A little
practice must regulate the quantity. The
yolk of a fresh egg, well beaten, to two
quarts of creams, will produce the same re
sults.
