Annie Lee ;
THE BRIDAL SONG.
OR
BY KATK KANDOLPn.
. Annie Lee was a poetess. Nature made
her one, and she had sung -as the bird sings,
and the flower sends out fragrance. : She liv
ed with her parents in the beautiful country.
' Annie had many admirers. 5 The old loved
her for her sweetness and simplicity. She
had lovers, too, men of refinement and culture,
who looked down into her young heart and
saw the treasure that by at the bottom. - But
as yet Annie loved no one than her parents ;
she sung her songs from out a gushing soul,
and rejoiced the hearts, and made beautiful
the lives of all who came near her.
One summer day, as Annie sat sewing and
chatting with her mother, they saw from the
window a stranger guest approaching the cot
tage It was Earnest May, an old friend who
had been absent for ten years from his native
country.' He had returned with a mind richly
stored with experience and knowledge gained
from abroad. - Ten years before he had taken
Annie Lee- in hi3 arm and petted her as a
pretty and gifted child as she really was He
was then a young man ol twenty, Annte a
child of seven years.".
Annie looked about the face of their guest,
and wondered how she could have forgotten
her old friend. Earnest looked into the beau
tiful poetic eyes of the' lovely girl, and thought
he had never seen, even under the Italy's fair
6kies, a more attractive face. - The visit was
brief, and soon came to an end. Earnest
May went to his life of study and thought.
Annie, still a cottage girl, went more often
into the deep wild woods.'to weave into grace
ful songs the fancies that crowded her brain.
A new aspiration had come to the" young girl
with the presence of. the stranger. A cord
hitherto untouched now thrilled in its strange
melody, and Annie's song was more complete
and harmonious..-. . . ..
Earnest May was net a declared lover
He was ever calm and dignified in his affec
tion for AnniA Je may have loved tho beau
t.ifnl child, but how well no one could tell:
perbaj bo thought only of heT tip s gifted j
child of song, and so lingered ia her presenoe,
chained by sympathy of mind over mind.
Annie did not ask herself if Earnest loved
her. She only felt his kindness, and was
blest in her own absorbing passion.
One summer day Annie was surprised by
the arrival of Earnest. Sho had cot ' been
warned of. his approach, and she sprang over
the door sill with a .light almost mid-step, to
welcome him. . -
14 You did not tell me you was coming Ear
nest, and now l am moie glad that y&u did
not. for this suroriso is very sweet. -
I have come sooner than I thought to
for I Stave soraetaiztsr toaay to you, Annie,
love most tenderlv. even passionately, a love-.
ly girl Do not turn jour eyea from sue,
am sure you aro " my good friend.
. 4 4 Is she very beautiful Earnest, said Annie
trembling. .-'. - . ,
44 Ah.' vea: N Annie: ' more beautiful than
even your wildest faDcy ever wove into song,
Will you, dear child, when you, are ha the
glow of your highest irnmaeination. write
bridal song ? and let it be more rich ia beauty
than the sky is at midnight with stars. Oh;
Annie, she is divinely beautiful, for. a.gifte
soul looks out of the soft features, and tinges
the smiles and lights the eye with, more than
human beauty. ' Will you not rejoice with me.
that at last 1 can see with , a lover s vision
that -the scales- have air fallen from dead ey s
and now everywhere see newness of life.
Annie was silent: she .did not say she re
joiced in her friend's happiness. - -,
fUorgive ine, Anniofor witaholaing mis
secret from vou so. lone. It was sweet to
keen it in mv soul and edoat over it. and. look
i a
at it with a miser's eye. You foriva me An
nie?" 3
" Yes, yes, I forgive.
Earnest and Annie did not meet again till
the family circle were gathered for the even-.
mg. . ijarnest eat. apart from Annie, and en
gaged the old people in pleasant conversation.
Annie listened, but looked out into the nijrht
on tho soft moonlight on the green sloping
bank. She was exerting a more than physi
cal power over her thoughts, and striving to
beat back the low rumblings of the tumult
that in her young ardent nature was bursting
into fresh rebellion.
The effort was too great. A dizziness stole
into Annie's over-taxed brain. She saw the
trees dancing, the brook waving backward
and forward, and the moonlight shadow swam
before her eyes. She uttered a faint cry, and
would have falen from her seat, had not Ear
nest who had been watching her intently,
sprang forward and caught her in his arms.
They took Annie to her bed.
The powerful excitement of the day4 with
her effort to conquer it, had created fever in
her veins and her brain. For a week Annie
lay in great danger.
In her, unconscious state, Annie talked
constantly of Earnest, of his beautiful bride
and of her own grief. Sometimes she would
fancy she was preparing the bridal wreath;
and would call for fresh flowers from the
brook. Again she would repeat the werdt
of Earnest :
44 Ah, Annie, she is mbre beautiful than
your wildest fancy ever wrote into song."
Then she would improvise rhyme, sajing
44 this shall be the bridal song. I wili not be
the haughty child of my dear friend. I will
write him a bridal song, and sing it too at his
wedding." - '
Earnest at such times, would listen with
the deepest feeling to all those revelations of
her poetic soul. He wrote on his tablets each
line of the . sweet verse fche had named the
bridal song." ' He was never absent from
her side, and the first object that Annie saw
on the return of consciousness was Earnest
May. She held out her thin white hand to
him . and tried to speak her thanks for hi
presence.
Many weeks of weariness and languor came
to the poor Bick girl ere she could leave her
bed. There seemed to be something holding
her back from health. Her mind was net
quite at rest. , .
Earnest read the soul of the young girl,
and on each day felt more than ever like a
guilty wretch who had crushed in his rude
hand a beautiful and fragile flower. Well as
he had imagined he had understood her, he
found he had no conception of the extreme
delicacy and sensativeness of her nature. No
attention or kindness from him could in any
way wipe out the great wrong he had done
her. But what was in his power to give he
gave with earnestness and devotion. It was
he who sat by her bed side, and strove by
pleasant conversation and reading to entice
her back to health and cheerfulness. His
arm bore her slight fra.ne from tho sick
chamber into the genial sunshine.
' Nor was Earnest wholly unsuccessful ia his
efforts to restore Annie to health ; and when
the soft air. touched her pale cheek, there
snranc up again in her soul a desire to lire,
if I ut to revel m the beauty of nature..
One day Earnest. bore Annie into the gar
den arbor. Annie was 6till weak, and very
pale, from the effect of her long illness. . She
seemed as fragile as an infant in the arms of
the strong man. How slight a breath might
nip the beautiful flower; and yet a strong
will was beating in her bosom, and a brave
heart was in that frail tenement, that was
buoying her on the wave of destiny, nd
would surely bear her eafely to some protect
ing harbor. -
Earnest drew from his bosom a tablet upon
which were inscribed the lines of the song
improvised- in Annie's delirium. He com
menced reading it to Annie, who sat- perfect
ly ' absorbed in the strange mystery. The
rhyme, the thoughts was hers, bat how could
sho account for the treble lines ?
. ' Earnest closed the verse, and replaced the
tablet, then said in a low voice :
44 Annie, this is our bridal song." . ,
. Annie turne. her beautiful eyes into the
face of EaraesCis if to read the meaning of
his words. - ' . ;
" Pear Aonlo, way did you let jaas wiH
wayward heart mislead you, whoa I strove to
tell you my love for yo a. ...
4 Your lovo for me, dear Earnest? yoa
aid she whom yea lorod was beautiful and
gifted. , ,;
44 And so aha is, sweet Annio. - Who, Aa-
nie, ,but you coald have inspired such lov
as has biassed, and well nigh wreoked my
life."
44 And is ft me, dear Earnest that you lor
so tenderly, so passionately f" And the poor
girl buried her face in the. bosom of Earnest
and wept, the first "happy tears that had
touched her cheeks fur many long weary
weeks,..- '.-r -. . .- - ; ---
You, and you ; only, nay beautiful child t
and Earnest raised the small hi ad from hia
bosom, and kisssd away the tears as he play

r 50ETH - - 1 '
The slanderer is a pest, a disgracs. an in
cubus to society, that should be subjected to a
slow cauterization, and then be lopped offliks
a disagreeable excresseuce.. Like the viper,
he leaves a shining trail in his wake. Lice a
tarantula, he. weaves a thread cf candor with
a tceb o wiles, or with all the kind mendacity
of hints, whispers forth his talo, that 44 like
the fauing ue, no fountaia knows." . The
dead aye, even the dead over whose pale
sheeted corpse bleeps the dark sleep no venom-,
ed tODgue can wake, and whose pale lips have
then no voice to plead, are subjected to the
scandalous attacks of the slanderer
Who wears a mask the Gorgon would disown,
A cheek of parchment, and an eye of stone t
I think it ia Pollock who says the slanderer
is the foulest whelp of sin, whose tongue was
set on fire ia hel-, and whose legs were faint
with haito to propagate the lie Lis soul had
ramed. .; . .
He has a lip of lies, a face formed to conceal,
That, without foe-ling, mocks at those who
There is no animal I dispise nioro than thes

These ravenous fishes who fallow duly ia it

Of great ships, because perchanoe thyr great.
Oh, who would disarrange all society with
their false lap-wing cries The slanderer
makes few direct charges and assertions. ' His
ong, envious fingers point to no certain lo
cality. He has an inimitable shrug of the
shoulders, can give peculiar glances.
He seems to glorv in the misery he en tads.
The innocent were the foulest impress of his
smutty palm, and a soul pure as 44 arctic
snow twice doited by the northern blast,"
through his warped and discolored glasses,
wears a mottled hue

A i. ad if lately visiting New Ycrk
city, saw one day on tho side walk, a ragged
cold and hungry little girl, gaztng wishfully
at some cake in a shop window. She stopped
and taking the Utile one by the hand led her
into the store ; thougli she was aware that
bread might be better for the ' hild than cake,
ret desiring to satisfy the layering and for
orn one, she bought and gave her the cak
she wanted. She then took her to another
place, where she procured her a shawl and
other articles of comf jrt. The grateful little
creature looked the benevolent laJy up full in
the face, and with artless simplicity said 44 Are
you God's wife ?"

The following beautiful announcement - of
Spring, clipped from a very old book, which
cannot be too often read, is very appropriate
to the reason now opening upon ua : .
44 Lo, the winter- is past; the rain is over
and pone ; the flowers appear on the earth,
the time cf the singing of Lird3 is come, and
the turtle is heardla the land ; the fig tree
putteth forth her green figs, and tho vines
with the tender grape give a good smell."
No modern writer can excel this beautiful
description of the coming spring.
