Dr. Hanks, I think are equally "touching" and
full of tenderness. If you think so, and it they
are not too old, please find a place for them.

The little birds pon.r'd forth their lay,
And everything in nature smird.

Titre children who had thither stray'd
Just at an aged birch tree's foot
A little boy and girl coedited,
Ifis hand in hers she kindly put,
And then - I saw the boy was blind

A tree conceard me from her view,
But alt they said I mall could bear,
And I could bee all they might do.

The Bride's First Sorrow
flight was darkening into night, the first
faint star of esening gleamed from the far blue
heavens, aid the hush and repose of nature seem
ed tot, holy to he broken by the strife of Lamm
p a .sions: yet lo iw painfully did the quiet of that
evening scene cootra.4 \\ i t IL! he passionate grief
of a young heart. mourning .4-er its first sorrow.
Ellen Sinclair was a newly wedded bride. She
wits but sesenteen ; the joungest daughter of her
fitther's house, and the spoiled pet of the whole
family, her fife had passed as one long day of
sunshine and flowers. She had been wooed by
one she had know n from childhood, and with the
consent of their mutual friends they acre united.
The day atter their marriage the bridal pair
left her father's house for the residence. of Mr.
Sinclir; in one of the interior counties of Virgin
ia. A few happy. weeks - passed - when Sinclair
proposed to toe 'bride to visit a gorge in one of
the neighboring mountains, from which the rising
sun frequently presents the singular aspect of the
looming of the mountains—the same phenomenon
at Bich is wituessed in the straits of Messina, and
known by the more poetic name of Fata Morgatia,
or the castles of the fairy Morgana. Ellen was
delighted with the proposed excursion, and search
ed every book in the house winch afforded any :
inlormatiou on the subject.
This excursion, which promised so much pleas
ure, ended in despair ay, death. They reached
the desired spot iii safety. The twilling was fa- ,
vorable to their wishes; the ascending iapors
caught the rays of the rising suit formed themselves
into the most igeorgeous and fantastic scenes.
Ellen IA as so much absorbed in this wonderful
and magnificent spectacle, that she forgot the
caution that :_fiutilair'had given herat the moment
of mounting her spirited steed. lie turned from
her side an instant to speak to the servant who
followed; the- mw,ement startled her horse ; the
• rein wag lying loose. on his neck, and feeling him
sell-free from
. a guiding hand, lie dashed oft at full
speed. Sinclair and the Servant followed, but
were unable to overtake her. Fortunately she
tort a gentleman ‘•ho succeeded - in stopping her
perilous career. Sinclair checked his•horse too
suddenly, that he. might express his-hanks to her
preserver. The animal threw hitu with great vi
olence. He was conveyed home in a senseless
state, and surgical assistance hastily summoned,
but the force of the fall had inflicted some inter
-I=l injury whith baffled the skill of the physician.
It was beside his bed, in that calm twilight,
that the y o ung wile knelt with scarce a hue of
life upon her feature.
" Oh, Ellen, my beloved, calm yourself—this
sorrow unmans me," murmured the dying man,
passing his hands caressingly over the head which
was bowed upon his pillow.
The deep sullocated•sob was the only repl.Vo
his words.
"It is hard to die," he 4:initialed, "when I was
looking fury; ard to years of much tranquil happl
ness,with ;you, my sweet. Ellen ; but it is the will
of Heaven, my best beloved, and we must sub
mit" ,
" Oh, Henry, my own Henry, you must go down
to the (mid, cold grave, where I can see you nu
more—nevermore hear the tones of your dear
voice.. It Will break my heart," was the almost
inarticulate reply.
"My poor Ellen, this is a hard-trial for you,,
but you are, too young to, grieve always. The
thought is torture to inn, but even 3ou may lore
again—may tired another!" and his voice was
nearly staled With painful emotions.
" Neter, never! Oh, [(miry, how can you bar
low my •soul at this awful moment with such a
supposition f Wed another ! 'Give the wreck of
my buried affections to autither! Oh, nOOO !
the thought tt ould kill me."
" I doubt not yhu think so now, love ; but time
wovks strange changes in this world of ours.
We know not what v. e may do. 1. wish to exact
no promise front you. The thought is bitterly
painful to me, but should your present views
change. Ido not wish that the reproach of a bro
ken vow should mar your peace: of mind."
" Henry, hear fuel" said Ellen, in a solemn
tone. "Should I ever so far forget my faith to
your ashes as to lend my ear to the language of
love, to the voice of affection for another, may
your Mnn on my bridal evening come to the, and
reproach me for my faithlessness."
A bright any - fie passed °ler the face of the dy
ing mail He murmured—
yllepeat those words again, my Ellen ; they
take front death its sting—in Heaven you will be
all my own. Forgive my 'selfishness, dearest;
but I hate so loved you I cannot think another
shall e, in"— ,
His voice ceased to articulate, and again• the
deep tones of the young mourner thrilled the air,
with the repetition of those awful, wdrds. Aa
thei passed her lips, she felt the Mind that clasp
edler's relax its grasp—a *faint fluttering—con
sciousness seemed to hover a moment on his fea
tures, and in another instant they were the' calm
and passionless repose of death.
Ellen Sinclair buried herself in the seclusion
- -
Of her own abode. A calm end gentle undaneho
ly succeeded the first violence of her grief, bu ,
she betrayed no desire to mingle with the world
VOL. 72,...WH0L D NO. 3 734.
Clad in the deepest mourning, she was seen no.
where bat at church; and those who looked at
Ler felt deep sympathy for one so young and so
bitterly bereaved. Vainlyhad her own parents
sought to draw her from her solitude. Two years
passed away and after many fruitless efforts they
at length succeeded in obtaining . a promise of a
visit from her at the annual re-union of the family
on Christmas, for that season is still held as a
festival in many parts of Virginia.
Ellen was once more beneath the roof of her
father, and many and painful were the emotions
which struggled in her bosom when she looked
around and remembered that the last time she
stood beside her native hearth, she was a gay and
happy bride.
Those who looked on her could not avoid re
marking the change which two years bad wrought
in her appearanae. The girl just budding into
maturity had expanded into the beautiful and
self.possed woman, with a quiet grace of ban
ner, an air of pensive reserve which was ex
tremely fascinating.
Her parents were worldly-minded people, who
could not bear that their fair daughter should
pass her life in the solitude to which she had
doomed lies, 11. They surrounded her with com
pany. sought to amuse her mind and draw if from
the terrible calamity which had destroyed her
dawning hopes of happiness, and they succeeded
.efficiently to implant in her mind a distaste to
the idea of returning to her late abode.
Week after week passed, until months were
numbered, and she began to think it her duty to
remain with her parents. She was their young
est child, and the only one without ties which se
vered them in a measure from their paternal
roof.
UM
"Ellen, my darling," said her father, when she
spoke of retdrning home, " you will not again for.
sake us We are old, and you are the only child
who is tree to remain with us. You must live_
here---4 cannot think of permitting you to return
to that lonely home of yours."
" It is lonely," replied Ellen, " and I fear that
after breaking through my usual habits, I shall
find it difficult and wearisome to resume them.
Yet, my dear father, if I must cOnsentgo remain,
there is one request I must make."
" What is it nly daughter—are we not ever
nihidful-of_your - wishes
"Ali, yes, my dear father, more mindful than I
deserve. But (and her voice sunk to a low, agi
tated whisper) there must be no looking for yard
to a second marriage for me—no attempt to alter
my views on that subject. I had made a vow to
the dead, and it must be held sacred."
" What !"exclaimed her lather, " was Sinclair
ungenerous enough to exact from you a - promise
not to marry again—young and unexperienced as
you were, too?"
"Ah !, no, father, wrong him not—he was too
kind, too noble. He asked no promise—l made
it voluntarily—and as the words left my lips, his
spirit departed. Oh, no, my father, never ask
me to break that vow—it is a hallowed one."
" Well, my darling; let it be as you wish. I
shall prefer keeping you with, us; but at the same
time,.if you should - ever meet with one you can
love, and who is worthy of you, it will be very
silly to suffers few words, uttered when you were
scarcely conscious of their meaning, to prevent
you from makief the home of au honorable man
happy. Why, child; you are only nineteen. Do
you suppose that the death of one person, how
ever dear, can chill your feelings into ice at that
age 1"
I must. then,iin sincerity of soul, pray to be
delivered from temptation," said the young wid
ow w.ith.a faint smile, "for I shall never marry
again."
As time passed on, Mra. Sinelaireould not help
Acknowledging that she was far happier than in
her mountain solitude. Her spirits were no lon
ger wearied; she no longer felt that life was a
-burden she would gladly lay down. She needed
the excitement of society, and the social and high
ly cultivated neighborhood in which her father's
residence was situated, aforded every facility for
its enjoy-pent.
'The third year of her widowhood was drawing
twa close, when sharecoved an invitation to the
marriage of a favorite cousin, who would take no
refusal. Ellen replied that if the bride would ex
cuse her sombre dress and pensive face, she
would attend, and the concession wat hailed as au
omen of future success in drawing her into that
world she was so peculiarly fitted to adorn.
There was a motive for these efforts of which
Ellen little dreamed. She regularly attended the

vo had several times called her attention to a re
markably handsome man who sat in the pew near
ly illmosite them; but she had not remarked that
his eyes frequently' wandered from his prayer
book to her own fair face. His height and the
turn of his head had reminded her of Sinclair,
but there the resemblance ceased.
The broad brow, finely chiselled features, and
clear dark eye ofthe stranger, were all unlike
the youthful bloom of him who had won her yining"
affections. She frequently heard Mr. Peytowspe
ken of as a man of distinguished endowments, Who
had spent several years in the South of Europe
with au only and beloved sister, for the benefit of
whose health the journey had been vainly under
taken. -The circumstances had nearly passed
from her mind when she Was introduced to him
at the wedding as the Intimate friend of the
groom.
M ton had fallen in love with her from his cas
ual view of her at church, and the eulogiums of
his friend's affianced bride, who looked on Mrs.
Sinclair as as a "bright particular star," had deep
ened the impression. The circumstance of the
marriage threw a romantic interest around her
history, and when be looked on theyouthful brow
with a shade of passiv€ pensiveness that seemed
to breath a hollowed charm over her beauty, he
telt that she was the only woman he had ever
known before to whom his heart could bow with
the bondage of affection.
Yet how speak df love to one who yet wore
the deepest mourning—who never joined in the
mirth of the light-hearted It would seem al
must like sacrilege to breathe to her ear the wild
Fission that filled his heart, yet its very hopeless
ness appeared to add to its fervor.
But ere long a new hope dawned ou bun. El

own age. Her disposition was naturally buoy

forever snapped, ugam, thrilled to the touch'
joy.' When the bounas of grief were once, sev
ered the action waseomplete. She still reveren
ced the memory of her tinstlove, and if her heart
had whispered that she could ever be lidthless to
his ashes, she would have shuddered with super

Peyton lingered in the neighborhood, a con
stant visitor at Wycombe, but his attentions were
not sufficiently marked to attract the observations
of others, His own family ware too desirous of
the match to hazard the final success of the lover
by alluding hi any manner to his passion for her.
Peyton won his way slowly but surely. The
fair widow began unconsciously to regret the vow
which had ascended to heaven with the spirit of
her dead husband. At length he spoke of love,
nail she listened with awe to thesittpouring of a
spirit which was too noble to be trifled with, and
too highly appreciated to be given up without a
pang. .•
He drew from her quivering lips the history of
her vow, and divested of every feeling of super
stition himself, he could not conceive that few
words uttered in a moment of excited-and agon
ized feeling should stand between him and his
hopes of happiness. He did not understand the
impressible and iinaginative temperament of the
beag who listened to his reasoning, willing, nay,
anxious to be convinced against the evidence of
heroes feelings.
ller parents agreed with the lover in his view
of, the case, and urged, on all sides, her own heart

trothed herself fo Peyton. -
As the day; appointed for her marriage drew
neAr, the words et her vow appeared to beever
ringing in her ears. With restless and fearful
spirit she saw the hour approach which was to
witness her second espousal.
Preparations' were made fur a splendid bridal,
All the members of her family assembled under
the paternal roof, and every effort was made to
divert her mind from dwelling on the phantasy
that possessed-it.
The appointed' evening arrived, and the care
- moray which made her the bride of another was
peiformcd. Several hours passed in dance and
=song. It was near midnight when Ellen found
i herself standing on the portico, in the bright:moon-
I light, with Peyton by her side. The gay throng
within were still dancing, and the sound of merry
voices mingled with the burst of music that swept
by on the dewy and fragrant air. Ellen started,
as Peyton spoke beside her, for the first time
in several hours the recollection of _her fatal vow
intruded on her mind.
"What a glorious ni,ghtl" she reniarked.
never saw the moon shine with grestersplandoe
'3lay it prove a happy omen to us, fair Ellen;
replied Peyton, and, as he spoke, be turned to a
white rose bush, which had wreathed itself round
one of the pinata of the portico, and culle4 save•
nil of its half-blown flowers.
While he was thus employed, Ellen was gating
abstractedly on the fantastic shadows. wide by
the trees in the yard. Suddenly she grasped the
railing for support, and looked with eyes tascina•
ted with terror on a white shade which seemed
to rise from an open space on which the moon's
radiance was poured without obstruction from
the surrounding shrubbery. The shadow arose
slowly, and gradually assumed the waving outline
of a human form wrapped in the garments of the
tomb. It approached the spot on which she stood,
and the features of Henry Sinclair, wearing a
look of sad reproach, were distinctly visible to
her as the shade glided between herself and the
newly wedded lord.
With a faint cry she would have fallen,had nut
Peyton turned and sprang forward in time to re
ceice her senseless form in his arias.
Long, long, was it before she recovered from
her death-like swoon. She then related what she
had seen, and clung to the belief in the reality of
the spectral visitation with such tenacity, that
reasoning with her was useless, and it failed to
calm her mind. Before another day had dawned
she was raving in the delirium of a brain lever,
and ill one week after her ill-omened . marriage,
she was laid beside WM whose spirit she believed
had summoned her to join him.
The incidents on which the foregoing pages are
found are literally true. That the supernatural
visitation was the offspring of an over wrought
imagination And superstitious mind, a real cause
of monomania, there can be little doubt. The
vagaries of an excited imagination are producing
results on Mormons and Millerites quite as inex
plicable to sober reason, as the catastrophe of the
Broken Vow.
A FRIEND just returued from New York tells
us a pretty godf:l story of an Illinsisian who was
stopping at the same hotel. On Sunday, the wee.
tern man, being desirous of hearing several of the
most famous pulpit orators of the metropolis,
went in the morning to Dr. Chapman's church,
but heard a stranger preach from the text: "But
Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever." In
the afternoon he went to Beecher's Plymouth
Church, and heard the same discourse, from the
same preacher. Going the same evening to Dr.
Osgood's church be found the same clergyman
and the same theme: "Simon's wife's mother lay
sick of a fever." The next day, the patient hear
er of the thrice-told discourse was crossing to
Brooklyn in a ferry boat, when the alarm bell in
Bark agitated the air with its great shocks of
sound, and a man behind him inquired why that
bell tolling. Looking up, he saw the now famil
iar couafenanee of the preacher, and was prompt
to reply: - ,tll think Simon's wife's mother must
be dead; heard three times yesterday' that she
was sick of a fever."
