Once upon a time, a maiden

And her lo close beside her,
Murmured vows of constancy.
Fairer, sweeter than the blossom
Hangiog over her, wss she;
And her head, within her bosom.

Bath were young and fond and foolish,
Neither rich, the story goes:
Ma was proud and pa was mulish,
Creel their love and great their woes;
So they kissed,.and wept and parted,
• Swearidg to be ever true,
Died the niaiden broken hearted?
" Was the lover faithful, tool
Pshaw ! she led a wealthy banker,
(Slander whispered she was sold)
And no city dames ontrink her,
With her pockets full of gold ;
Queen at every ball and party.
Decked with lace and jewels rare,
Looking very fresh and hearty,

' Took a widow twice his years,
Fat and forty, ripe andanellow.
With a brace of •little dears,"
Big plantation, servants plenty,
splendid mansion, pomp and ease,
Cored the boyish love of twenty,
'['hat incurable disease.
Learn from this, ye doting lovers ;
In your anguish, not to break,
Anything of greater value,
Than the promises you make,
Hearts w^re made to put in motion
blood that otherwise would cool,
Pleasure, profit and promotion,

I Cannot Call Her Mother
The marriage rite is over,
And though I turned aside,
To keep the guests from seeing
The tears I could not hide.
I wreath'd my face in smiling,
And led my little hrother
To greet my father's chosen,
But I could not call her mother
. .
She is a fair young creature,
With a meek and gentle air,
With blue eyes solland
And silken sunny hair—
I know my father gives her
The love be bore another,
But if she be an angel
I could never call her mother
Tonight I heard her singing
A song I used to love,
When its sweet notes were uttered
By her who sings above; '
It pained my heart to hear it, •
And my tears I could not smother,
For every word was hallowed
By the dear voice of my mother.
My father, in the sunshicie
Of happy days to come,
May half forget the shadow
That darkened our old home ;
, Nis heart no more is lonely,
But me and little brother . •
Must still be orphan children
God can give us but' one mother
. .
They've borne my mother's picture
From its accustomed place,
And set beside my father's •
A younger, fairer face ;
They've made her old chamber
The boudoir or another,
But I will not forget thee,
My own, my angel mother.

the sea, which grew. with. his growth and
strengthened with his strength, until it be
came absolutely too strong for control, and
he determined to indulge it, conic what may.
He was of a noble, high spirited nature, very
handsome for a man, brave and generous to
a fault, and withal his whole existence was
made up of a romance. He was never hap
py, never contented, except when he was en
gaged in some enterprise in which he could
call forth and exercise to the full extent ail
his powers and energies.
He disappeared suddenly from college, and
after wandering round the world for three or
four years, aile his lather and ftiends
mourned his death, returned to his native
land, in time to receive . his father's forgive
itess, and to take possession of his estate and
fortune, to the great disappointment of about
fitly cousins. His passion for the sea, how
ever, did not leave him; and, having receiv
ed an offer of the berth of chief mate of the
Fame, he left all his affairs in the hands of a
trusty agent and again went to sea, and as
such we now find him in this port.
The vessel had been in four or five days,
and the cargo was nearly discharged. It was
a warm sultry day, rind the men who had
been at work all the morning, were at their

• It was so wild, so singttlar, yet so beseech
ing, so appealing, that one could not,look
upon her or them without feeling an emu
; tion of pity and almost reverence.
"Is the captain on board?" repeated the
Iyoung lady as the captain and his officer in
silence fixed their eyes upon her cha'ms.
"Yes, ma'am," bluntly and half rudely
I replied Capt. Jotte3 puffing his.cigar, and

l "Will you marry me, sir?" inquired the
i lady.
I "Well, I'm d—d if that pinta good one.-
; Marry you! Why my dear, I have a wile
jin Liverpool now, and I don't know how
many children, so I can't marry you for good
but I have no kind of objections to marry
you while I stay here."
The proud lip of the fair girl curled with
prouder scorn, and her bright eyes flashed
with redoubled brilliancy, us she gazed for
one single instant upon the rude boor. She
curbed her feelings, however, and turned
from him with an expression on her bright,
beautiful face that made him puff his , cigar
with redoubled fervor, and to hide his sbamo
he retired to the cabin.
She turned to Chitties. Be was standing
near her, his bright, intelligent eyes fixed in
tently upon her. She saw no second Charles
Jones.
"Will you marry me, sir'!" she asked,
with a firm, steady , voice, but downcast eyes.
The sound of her voice aroused him from
the, statue-like posture he had fallen into on
first seeing her. He paused—he gazed
upon the lovely being who stood before him
proffering this singular request, but his lips
refused to utter one word.
"Must I gefarther, or will you marry me?
0 God! is there no hope?" and the lady bur
ied her face in her hands and sobbed.
Charles felt he was himself at once. He
felt Ws spirit of gallantry and romance ris
ing stron within him. A thousand ill-defin
ed thoughts rushed in his - Geed, but he felt
that ho was. a mari; and a lovely young wo
man was before hini—perhaps—before he
had time to form another opinion, the - lady
half turned toitiave the vessel.
"Stop, lady. Your request is very sing
ular very. Let me ask you one question.—
Are you in distress?"
Distress! 0, God! do not deem me cra
zey. Indeed., sir lam not. Think nothing
now, but answer—will you marry me?"
'Whoever you-are, or whatever you may
be, I know not. Can I not serve you in any
other manner? Perhaps you ma y repent of
a resolution formed
'Talk not to mo of repenting sir, and do
not waste anytime. Now it is precious.—
You can only serve me by marrying me.
Will you do so ?'
.By heaven ! I will !' exclaimed Charles
enthusiastically. 'There is that about you
that tells me I, at least, shell never rue it.—
lam ready. Wait but a moment.'
Charles went into the cabin and put on
his jacket, which he,had taken off while
workidg, and in a menrient he was by her
side. Come. Oren, lady. Whoever you
may be, I will abide the result.'
Ho took her on shore, and placed her inn 1
coach which was standing near, and drove I
off to a friend's house. Ile was shown into
a rooni. The door was locked, • and the
young lady-threw herself•into a,chair.
She did not weep or sob, nor did she rts
- to be in the least afire:led by the novel
ty of her situation. •
I'Sir,' said she, rising, 'whoever you are,
I can trust you. You are no common sai- i
Ilor, nor am I what I seem. I have now no I
time to waste in words, I will exptain all in
a few' hours. Trust me, believe me, - serve
me, and you shall never repent it. What
is to be done must• be done at once. I have
1 but few hours to spare, be wretched indeed.
`Here, sir, is money. Go and purchase all
you wish. 13e quick, and do not delay
now :' and she proffered him a roll of bills.
'Thank you, lady, Ido not need it. lam

alarmed.
Charles went out and left her alone. He
went to a fashionable tailor's in Broadway,
and in ten minutes he was changed from a
rough, dirty-looking sailor to a fine manly,
handsome fellow, and his d?ess srt off to aa
, vantage his fine figure. He returned in
stantly to the lady, and when he entered
the room where he had left her, he found
her walking backward, but not in the .least
agitated. She had evidently steeled her
self in the worst, and was preetred for any
thing.
'My name sir, is Ellen Moran. Let that
suffice for the present.. Are you ready V
said she, firmly, and without betraying any
emotion.
am, lady.' •
They went again ipto the carriage and
drove to the mayor's and in.a few moments
were man a'nd wife. When.they left the
mayor's house,. Mrs. Barton gave orders to
the coachman herself, but in a voice whose
tones were not heard by her husband.
'Will you return with me V inquired Mr.
° Barton as his wife entered the coach.
No, sir. We are going to youir house,
where your presence will be required.'
Mr. Barton looked very steadily at his
wife for a moment as sho uttered these
words, and for the first time began to think
that he had entered upon a very silly scrape.
The idea even entered his head that she
might be a little out of trim aloft, and it did
not make him feel very comfortable.
The door was closed and the coach was
off. Not a word was spoken on either side
during the whole drive, which was very
long—at least it seemed so to him. Charles
was intently thinking upon his conduct, and
was half inclined to regret his rashness, but
one glance at his sweet, new married wife
settled that point.
The carriage ;typed nt the door of a
house of ele.gant exterior, in one of the most
fashionable streets in the city. .He alighted
first. and handed out his wife in silence.—
They ascended the steps and she rang the
bell. 'rho door was opened by a servant
in handsome livery.
• 'ls my uncle at home, yet V •
'No Miss, he is not,' replied the man re
.spectfully bowing..
Mr. Barton cast a festive glance nround
him. Everything was arranged in the most
recherche style, and with the most lavish ex
!
pensc. She led him into a parlor sumptous
ly furnished.
'All that you behold,' sniff Mrs. Barton,
as the door closed, 'are mine, sir. 'They
are now your own. Believe me, sir; I speak
the truth. Remember that yOu are the
master of this house and all in it. And
whatever may occur, do not forget your own
right.
'You surely cannot mean deceit,' said Mr.
Barton, utterly at a loss to account for the
singular conduct of his wife.
'Trust me, sir—try me--believe me. I
will.tell you now all I can--all I have the
time to tell. FOur years ago my father; one
of the wealthiest merchants in this city, died
and left me all his property: My uncle,
who will soon 'be hero teas made my guar
dian until I should marry, and he had
charge of the estate left by mrfather until
that should occur. As he had nothing of
his own to support himself, he has kept mo
secluded from the world, and in -comfine
ment almost closely, since my poor father's
death, well knewingthat on my Marriage
the property would pass from his bands.—
His conduct at times has been harsh and
cruel, and particularly of late. To-day I
found- means to escape from the house un•
seen. The rest you know.
She then arose and rang the bell. A ser
vant came to the door. 'John said she,
'send every servant in the house up . here.'.!
Mr. Barton sat perfectly still and said noth
ing, but he was mentally resolving how to
act; and was more than half inclined to think
his wife a lunatic. The servants came up
and atoodin the.parlor, awaiting orders.

Barton.

'Como, sir,' said Mr. Barton, 'your pres

hold of the terrified old man.
Mr. Moran, for he it was, seated himself
to gain breath. 'Do you mean to say that
you are married to that man, Ellen!' asked
-he contemptuously. ,
She did not deign him a reply, but sat in
silence, awaiting the issue, and he returned
to Barton for further explanation.
'Don't look at me sir. That lady God bless
her, is my wife. She has told me all your
villainous conduct, and the sooner you quit
this house the better it may be for ypu.

'Turn this fellow out doors vat once,' said,
he. half choked with - rage, pointing to Mr.
