"fledge with wine—pledge with wine,"
cried the young and thoughtless Harvey
Wood, "pledge with wine," rang through
the brilliant crowd.
The beautiful bride grew pale--the de
cisive hour had come. She pressed her
White hands together, and the leaves of
her bridal wreath trembled on her pure
brow ; her breath eaum quick, and her
heart beat wilder. '•
"Yes, Marion, lay aside your scruples
for this once," said the Judge, in a low
tone, going toward his daughter, "the
company expect it. Do not so seriously
infringe upon the rules of•ctiquette; in
your own home act as you please ; but in
mine, for this once please me."
Every eye was turned towards the bridal
pair. Marion's principles were well known.
Henry had been a convivialist, but of late
his friends noticed the change in his man
ners, the difference in his habitar-and to
night they watched him to see, as they
sneeringly said, if he was tied down to a
wentan's opinion so soon.
Pouring a brimming breaker, they held
it with tempting smiles towards Marion.
She was very pale, though more composed,
and her hand shook not, as smiling back,
she gracefully aocepted the crystal tempter,
and raised it to her lips. But seemly had
she done so, when every band was arrested
by her piercing exclamation of "ph 1 how
terrible."
"What is it r cried ono and all, throng
ing together, for she had slowly carried the
glass at arm's length, and finally regard
ed it as though it were some hideous ob
ject.
"Wait," she answered, while an in
spired light shone upon her daik eyes,
"wait, and I will tell you. I see," she added
slowly, pointing one jeweled finger at the
sparkling ruby liquid, "a sight that beg
gars all description, and yet listen—l will
paint it for yon if I can. It is a lonely
spot, tall mountains crowned with verdure
rise in awful sublimityaround ; a river
runs through and bright flowers grow to

mist, that the sun seeks vainly to pierce.
Trees lofty and beautiful, wave to the airy
motion of the birds ; but there a group
of Indians gather ;they flit to and fro with
something like sorrow upon their dark
brows. And in their midst lies a manly
form—but his cheek how deathly, his eye
wild with the fitful fire of fever. One friend
stands beside him--nay, I should say kneels:
for see, be is plowing that poor head upon
his breast.

broken by Only'what seemed a smothered sob
from somemanlybosorn. , The bride stood
yet upright, with cmivering lip, and team
stealing to the outward edge of berlaalieS.
Her beautiful arm had lost its teusioo, and
and the slims with its little tr:mbled 'red

her vision. Bho spoke again,every lip was
mute. Her voioe was low, faint, yet awful
; she still axed her sorrowful
glances upon the wine cup.

A groan ran through the assembly, so
vivid was her description, so uneauthly her
look,'so inspired her manner, that what
she described seemed actually to have ta

also that the bridegroom hid his face in his
hands and was weeping.
"Dead !" she repeated again, her lips

more broken ; "and there they scoop him

ystreic us THE FAMILY,
BY REV. Wl4. 0 WILITCONBX
Music is one of the beat promoters of
domestic happiness. As an awakener of
sympathies, and a nutter of hearts, a more
efficient agent cannot be employed, next
to the religion of the Gospel. It human
izes and elevates, and: driyes the demons of
discord from the home circle. It is eft
times necessary to moth the ruffled spirit,
David's harp was to calm the turbulent
breast of Saul, It lightens care, augments
joy, and increases conjugal, parental, filial
and fraternal atfeetion. Hence, in all
families whore there are individuals who
can sing, or play on instruments, there
should be a good deal of music. I would
that there wore more Instruments of music
in the habitations of the people, and also
much more music in families. But,
especially, I would that there were 'sing
ing and a voice of melody,' and praise around
everylamily altar, where night and morn
die members of pious households take de
light in assembling to pay their vows to
the Most High.
. _
"Music in the family," as one truthfully
expressos it, "is a means of domestic
cheerfulness." A musical family will in
spite of perplexities and trials be habitually
cheerful ; not gay, for there are many
points of aiffereuep between cheerfulness
and gayety ;. but cheerful in that sense
which implies good spirits and freedom
from corroding care. You can have the
sunshine of cheerfulness in your house on
1 the most cheerless day, if .you only have
music there : and if affliction has caused
tears to flow, mush) coming to the aid of
divine consolation, and the sympathy of

rise nearly to the surface of the Water. , A
I log of wood, apparently wedged tightly W-

' ing to and half perching upon the log, from
which he would occasionally slip down and
walk a little on the reeks, which were only
a short distance under the water.
A few feet in advance was a small fall of
about four or five feet, and here and on each
1 aide of him the waters rushed wildly ots at
a speed of about forty miles an hour. A
bout 24 - o'clock in the afternoon, a raft was
.constructed formed of crossed timbers,
strongly fastened in a square form, a hogs
head being 'shoed iu the centre.
The raft was stronly secured with ropes
On each side, and was floated down to the
rocks upon which Avery was statioued.—:-
As it approached the spot where he stood
the rope got fast in the rocks, and the raft
became immovable. Avery then appeared
to muster strength and courage, and de

rocks to the place where the rope Lad caught
and labored long and hard to disengage it
from the reeks. After 801110 time he suc
