NOW-A-DAYS Alas how every thing has changed Since I was sweet sixteen, When all the girls wore homespun frocks, And aprons nice and clean ; With bonnets made of braided straw, That tied beneath the chin, The shawl laid neatly on the neelr, And fastened with a pin. I recollect the time when I Rode father's horse to mill, Across the meadows, rock and field, And up and down the hill; And when our folks went (Sut to work (As sure as I'm a sinner,) I jumped upon a horse, bare-backed, And carried them their dinner. Dear me! young ladies now-a• days, Would almost faint away, To think of riding all alone • In wagon, chaise or sleigh ; And as for giving "pa" his meets, Or helping "ma" to bake, Oh, saints ! 'mould spoil her lily hands, Though sometimes they make cake! When winter came, the maiden's heart Began to beat and flutter; Each beau would take his sweetheart out A sleighing in a cutter; Or, if the storm was bleak and cold, The girls and beaux together Would meet and have most glorious fun, And never mind the weather. But now, indeed, it grieves me much The circumstance to mention, HoWeyer kind the young man's heart, And hottest his intention, He never asks the girls to ride But such a war is waged ! And if he sees her once a week, Why, surely, "they're engaged !" The Three Holy Days There are three days of holy time; Three days of sanctity ; Of all the circle of the year These are the wond'rous three. On one the heavens were robed in black, The sun his face did hide ; And well might earth and sky be rent: Their Maker, Jesus, died ! And one beheld the sepulchre Closed on the mighty dead; While to the realms of Paradise The soul divine had fled. Then came the day when life and light Broke on the gloomy grave; And rose from death to heaven on high, The God who died to save! There are three days of holy time; Three clays of sanctity ; Of all the circle of the year They are the wond'rous three. "'cicction9. - - Story of the Unexecuted Will. My name is Sidney Hampton. lam a younger son. The baronial halls of the [lamp tons, in —shire, were the scene of my birthplace. My list of ancestors is n long one, but as they never did me any benefit, I have never kept it either in memory or on paper. How I was nurtured ; how educated ; what joys my childhood and boyhood knew, are of little interest. That which attaches to my life commences when I entered Lon don, to keep chambers and terms preparato ry to being called to the bar. I hated the sea, and fainted at the sight of gunpowder; so the younger son—the fool of the family —was set to investigating the laws of his country. The barrister with whom I read, as my family's fortune much decayed, re ' ceivd me as private clerk instead of a premi. urn. He was a kind old man—a bachelor and soon grew as fond of me as I was inclin ed toward him. • He jived upon law—eat law, drank law. thought law, and walked in law-chatting as we. walked, of all the great topics of the science. Together we would take airings —together write and read—together visit the theatre, of which I was very fond. I was therefore in his best confidences, and to this owe many presences at interesting scenes, where I studied human nature and the dra matic sides of life. It was not two months after• my connection began that he entered the room I occupied, adjoining his own cham ber, and told me that he was about to infringe upon the etiquette of his calling by accom ' panyina a conveyancer that night •to the house of a rich banker about to execute a will, and whit desired the presence of coun sel as well as of conveyancer the latter nothing loth. . "I desire you to accompany me, for if I am to have anything to say about it, I desire my own witness to the will as Wvll as to what may transpire," said he, in conclusion. On our way in the coach, ho informed• me that the banker's name was Selborne ; that he was - a widower, with en only daughter Of surpassing beauty and Worth; whom 'he guarded from society with curious paternal ii . r i -6 % care--so rare in thorough men of the world, who are never so happy as when receiving reflekted homage through a lovely child, and he supposed it was in regard to her that the will was to be drawn so carefully. We stop ped for a moment to take up Mr. Seeley, the conveyancer, before driving directly to the splendid mansion, in the neighborhood of the present Hyde Park corner, where the banker had a few years resided. "Have you the will with you ?" asked my principal, whose name was' Marston. "No ! there's the devil of it I It is not drawn, and I have had no instruction as yet. "Not drawn ?" exclaimed Marston 1 then there's little need of my going any farther," and he reached his hand forward toward the check string—a movement which the con veyancer repressed and said.— "He utterly refused to have the will drawn out of his house, and said that it must be pre pared directly upon the heels of his instruc tions—no doubt from some strange and per haps impracticable whim. lam glad he in sisted on my bringing you. far the efforts of two in such a case will relieve each other." Mr. Marston nodded assent, and, as if half in rumination, said-"I knew Selborne when he was a clerk in the India House, before his uncle's return from Calcutta to place him with the bankers whom he ultiniately suc ceeded. We frequently dined together; and I have lead in all the important causes which his firm have had. Together we have start ed and settled many important points of com mercial law." "Yes ; I remember the o'ne—,"com menced Seeley, (who appeared to me to be something of a prosy character,) as the coach paused before thE. banker's mansion and thus cut short something of less Interest to me than might be the scene we were about to enter upon, and about which my curiosity was exceedingly excited by the conversation so far had. The coach was ordered to wait at the corner, and we ascended the steps.— Evidently to guard agaiiist any knocking, the noise of our approach brought a pomp ous lacquey to the porch, who swung back the door before we had quite reached the thrmhold. Another servant stepped for waYd, and, taking our hats and cloaks-'-for it was a raw November night—noiselessly motioned us into a drawing room.' We found a fine blaze upon the capacious hearth, (for it must be remembered this was some time ago,) and a general warmth diffused through the spacious apartment. This was furnished in simple elegance, and 1 felt my self pleasantly accommodated in a capacious chair before the ample blaze. A few min utes elapsed—doubtless spent in announc ing our arrival, and in preparing his cham ber for our reception—when the servant re turned, and motioned us to follow. We were escorted up one flight of stairs, and shown into a large bed chamber. Upon a largo mahogany bed, of ample dimensions, prop ped up by pillows, lay the dying banker, and, by his side, the most' lovely being I had ever beheld. It was his daughter ; and at the first glance toward her matchless beau ty, I paused, spellbound, until aroused by the voice of the conveyancer saluting his client in a subdued tone, when I also advanc. ed and bowed reverently to the lady. She was graceful as beautiful and motioned us to different chairs with an ease which rendered her more charming. Mr. Marston, as he, greeted her, raised her hand to his lips with elderly gallantry ; while Seeley, who per- Imps saw little of society, grasped her other palm as he would have shaken the paw of n giant. When we were seated, she with dreW a shot distance from the old man's bed side upon a low couch. A silence ensued, broken by the tremulous voice of the banker. 'A queer whim, you will say, Marston, and reminding you of old times. I don't I mistrust your kindness, nor Seeley's faithful ness, but the nervousness of an invalid may, be pardoned something in asking that my will be drawn up here. It is for my daughter that I especially prepare it.' He turned his eye toward her, and said— 'Laura, you may leave if you please so to do,' 'I will stay, father.' she responded, in a low but clear voice, looking at her I noticed her face to be ns marbte' s but all the more saint like for the change. There was a mystery and my heart beat with curiosity. 'As you please—as you like,' rejoined the invalid, fretfully. suppose with the family advisers we can have no secrets.' 'None, father.' Again the same !ow, clear, firm voice and marble countenance. Mr. Seeley bowed, and made a feint of taking snuff, which, with professional caution, he avoided for the, coming sneeze—while Mr. Marston played with his watch seals, and looked somewhat troubled : but insantly looking toward me, he added-'My pupil, Mr. Hampton here, is of honorable family, and possesses my entire, confidence.' I felt her marble brow turned upon me and, lifting my eye, saw a shade of plea sure across it. 'No, no !—no secrets 1' con tinued the banker. 'Laura has formed a foolish attachment, and my will is •drawn in reference to that, She colored scarlet half rose to go, and then returned 'motionless into her' seat, as both the lawyers looked inquiringly toward her—Seeley with something of pity, Mars ton with affectionate interest. He had fond led her upon his knee many a time, and whiled away many an hour listening to her prattle when a child. 'My late clerk Walter Hardinge, has been presumptions enough to address her, and she obedient enough to receive the attentions.' never knew until—she began.' 'Until I spoke on the subject, you Would say ; but you heard my general ideas for your future long before,' he interrupted. 'ls it necessary that this should be dis cussed ?' asked Mr. Marston, evidently feel ing for her situation, as she sat still unmov. ed but evidently tortured with contending emotions that she was too proud to show to strangers. 'Perhaps not, perhaps not,' said her fath er ; 'but this is the point : After a legacy of two hund red pounds to each of the servants who have served me most faithfully, and an ucquitance of debt to an old friend, whose name is upon yonder piece of paper I desire all my property— Seeley has the schedule —left unto you two gentleman in trust, as my executors, for my daughter. If she mar ry Hardinge, she is to have only three hun derd pounds a year—the rest I leave to Christ Hospital. She can choose between begge ry and shame, and comfort and honor' 'Beggery, mayhap, dear father, but—no, no—not shame !' and the strong will giv ing way, she burst into a flood of tears. I felt like rising up and crushing the remorse less father ; for in the name of Hardinge remembered an old schoolfellow at Eton—as honorable a. fellow as ever misfortune reduc ed ; and instead of allowing him the Uni versity he was prisoned in a counting house. I saw now that he had perhaps named me to her, and hence the shade of pleasure at seeing one of his friends when my name was recently mentioned. It was painfully evident that her love for him, which before strangers could be thus avowed, was no wen Cat!. The old man's lips quivered slightly as he said—.l shall not live another day, and there must be dispatch. .I desire too that if she con sent to the condition of her fortune, she be your wards, and only marry with your joint consent.' , We will retire and prepare the instru ment,' said Seeley, with professional non chalance, as he walked toward the door, fol lowed by myself ; whilst Mr. Marston ap proached the bed as if to expostulate with his dying friend. Indeed, I heard the words 'You surely cannot menn—,'as I passed through the' door. I had just approached the upper stair—Seeley being now consid erably in advance—when I heard a light foot step behind me, and felt a light touch upon the shoulder I looked around, and the daugh ter stood beside me more lovely than ever, with somewhat disordered looks where her hands had pressed her temples, and with li quid eyes wherein tears still sparkled. "Pardon me," she whispered, and point ed to another apartment. 1 followed with a beating heart, and frame scarcely less agi tated than must have been her own. The room we entered wns a retiring room, evi dently furnished as one of her favorite re . - treats. She drew towards a recess of the window, and said in a low and agitated voice— is a great liberty, and one in which My maiden pride would fain be accuser; but I have heard Walter speak of you as the savior of his life, when he was cramped in bathing years r.go, and I share his gratitude and esteem." I bowed with my heart beating more vio lently as I felt I was about to become the confidant of the beautiful being besides me —an unworthy and unprofitable one, too, I was afraid. "You heard the language just used by my father 2—harsh and cruel ! I care for that, not for his property : but I am in a . cruel dilemma. II he agonises me with com plaints of disobedience at the prospect of lov ing Walter Hardinge, what may be my feelings you must imagine when I tell you we are already married !" "Married !" I exclaimed, while she gent ly, with, finger to my lip, that sent a tingle" through my frame, repressed the exclama tion—"'Phis is indeed a dilemma, and one which your father must not now be ac quainted' with." "Yes, I know it would kill him, and that would be terribl. His life is now short enough ! But iny absence. will be aserved. I dared not Led r. Marston, elder friend though he be. lie does not know Walter • —youtlo.. 'Phis, however, must be told hint for it may have an influence on the will, and I would not have him say hereafter I -de ceived him. I have not courage to speak with him ; will you I" 'These words were tremulously whisper ed, while she blushed deeper and deeper at every syllable, as I .could plainly discern in the reflection from a lamb within an ala baster vase at the further end of the apart ment. I pressed her hand gently by way of an swer, and walked silently through the room to the stairs and down into the apartment where the lawyers were now waiting. . 1 determined upon dissembling. ...Ah, Hampton ! admiring the pictures in the hall ante chamber, eh !" cried M . r. Mars ton, as I entered. I nodded by way of answer. 'Bad business, this, for the girl,' said Seeley, in a semi-professional abstraction; 'but a fine fellow, that Elardinge. Met him once on the execution of a trust deed from a depositor of the firm—made some capital suggestions, he did. know him well,' said I, 'said• he is a fine fellow. Can nothing be done for him ?' Mr. Marston shook his head, and Seeley added—'Nothing can we do but follow in structions,' and he drew forth from a tin case some sheets of heavy linen paper prop erly stamped in blank. 'Suppose they were to be married,' asked I 'before the will was drawn, and it contain ed this provision' of nullity regarding her estate on a future marriage r 'Not to be thought of,' said Seeley, 'it would he a fraud on our client.' 'lt would not affect her entirely in the least,' replied Mr. Marston, firmly ; but, as Seeley says, that is not to be thought of just now. 'Suppose they are married already ?' Seeley stared, and Mr. Marston looked seardingly into my countenance. 'The same thing,' replied he; the will would have reference to a future condition, which could not happen—an impossible condition because the event already existed.' •But why put these q ueries asked See ley. "Surely you don't mean to—' 'I mean to say that I believe they are al ready married ! I know Hardinge, and I can now recall certain hints to my mind which convinces me that he is married, and privately, to this lady !' I dissembled in this way to see what ef fect the idea would have upon the counsel ors, before I venture to certainly promulgate her secret. 'lf this should be so, how fortunate for the girl,' said Mr. Marston. 'lt is none of our business,' added See ley ; 'he will soon die, and we are not to go beyond instructions.' .It is so !' I rejoined. have had it from her own lips not fifteen minutes ago. She knew me to be his friend, and told inc.' Both started from their chairs. 'But do not call her, nor speak to her— she is too much agitated,' I added. 'We will prepare the will,' said Seeley. is but a short document. The trust is simple ; the property, though extensive, briefly to be described. Mr. Marston was lost in thought. Seeley had spread out the paper, and was commenc ing to write. I stole to the door, if haply to meet her, and say how well it was.— Noiselessly I wound upstairs. Shp was not in. the room. I heard voices in the bed chamber, and knew that she was there.— Noiselessly I returned to the room. Mr. Marston had joined his chair to the table, rind was sketching a draft of provisions on another piece of paper. We were again in the chamber of the dy-, ing man. It was almost midnight. The wild November wind during the four hours we had been within doors, had increased to a gale. Shutters and windows rattled, and the blast hoarsely murmured in the chimney place. It was a fitting night for the troops of death to environ the dwelling, and on the mortal overthrow ! The banker had chang ed materially, and the medical attendent was now by the daughter, who, with marble brow,still stood watching the hurried breath ing of her father, perplexed with emotions of remorse, fear, anxiety and hope. How I longed to see the form of the unconscious son-in-law enter, and clasping his wife in his arms, sink by the bedside and receive a partit ,. blessing. Yet I saw by his lips, his relentless eye, his firmly closed mouth, the decision of his face, that not even this could move him from his purpose. 'ls it prepared ?' he asked, Seeley nodded, and spread the document on the table, while the daughter glided to the couch and buried her head in the pillows.— Marston's lip quivered as he took the old man's hand, while the medical attendant ad ministered a cordial. 'Read it,' said the invalid. • And at'Seelcy's request I commenced to read, after a le,ok of intelligence with Laura Selborne, who raised her head from the pil low for a moment. lon came to the important clause ; '— To he forever enjoyed by her, and the prin... cip al, at her death, to be by her willed as she pleases, except in case she shUll here after marry one Walter Hardinge, late clerk to the house of Selborne & Co., the same, &c., &c.' save my life I could not help an em phatic rest on the word 'hereafter,' which Mr. Marston had dictated below to the con veyancer. Both as , involuntarily crossed looks; perhaps the barrister who' held pa tient's hand pressed it ; Miss Selborne rol led from the couch in a fainting fit; and the banker, raising himself from his props with convulsive effort, and his suspicion aroused as will often prophetically happen on a bed of death r exclaimed ; 'She cannot already have wedded him ! Hereafter did you say, air 1' and he glared fiercely on me. Wo were all silent. 'Speak, some one! Give me the will, say ; let me see the word ! Is it a plot 1 A light here I Hereafter, said you—hereafr ter--4erenfter—liere— His speech clinked, his breathing was as of one snoring, his teeth clenChed, his hands moved as if grappling something,and, with a heavy groan, he fell back dead I" 'Dead, indeed, whispered the medical man, as I raised the prostrate and senseless • daughter to the couch. 'And hereafter indeed, too!—could there be a word more prophetic r said Seely,lto my instructor. Mr. Marston stooped, and felt •the dead man's brow ; then turned to Laura and kis sed her forehead with an emotion not to be repressed, as the attendant drew a lancet at ter ringing for.assistance. 'The property will now descend to her of course,' whispered Seeley, in my ears, as we descended the stairs. I may here anticipate, and in this connec tion add, that in after years I was often a visitor at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Hard- - inge, who took another dwelling, and the old mansion, with its mournful memories, was sold. They lived .very quietly and happily, with one child—a son—who bore her father's name. She always wore a sad dened shade of countenance. The marble brow with which I was first acquainted, and the calm face beneath betokening-silent sor row, became a familiar thing to my memo ry. Although happy in her love for hiis band and child, she could not forget the un forgiving and frightful mood in which her • father died. She never was told the exact circumstances of his death, but only knew he expired whilst she had swooned during my reading of the unexecuted will. Sabbath Reading. DIVINITY OF CHRTST.--TWO gentlemen were engaged in a discussion on the divini ty of Christ. One of them, who argued against it, said; 'if it were true, it certainly would have been expressed in more clear and unequivocal terms.' 'Well,' said the other, 'admitting that you believe it, were authorized, to teach it, and allowed to use your own language, how would you express the doctrine, to make it satisfactory and in dubitable ?' would say,' replied the first., 'that Jesus Christ, is the true God !° 'Yott are happy,' rejoined the other, 'in the choice of your words, for you have happened to hit upon the very words of inspiration.'-; St. John , speaking of Christ says, inspiration: is , the true God and eternal life!'
