A smile,auch as we sec in Raphael's Madonnas, danced and trembled on cur ripe lips, and then nestled away in tba dim ple, of her soft cheek, as if proud of their I.u/ic ing-place. As the tremulous tones of the aged clergyman pronounced than husband mad wife, the smile faded from her lip and brow, and the fringed lids of her dark eyes droopped low upon her pale cheek; but it was a transient emotion, fur when she bent her head for the bridal blessing, that glad smile glanced like sunshine over her bright face, and slept in the clear depths of her dark eye It was all over—tha sunlight had trembled and faded ►n the azure clouds while we lingered in the di►n, old church; and when the young bride went forth, the sobbing wind was sweeping through the lofty pines and waving the hemlock branches to and fro with sudden fury, while here and there, a rain drop slept like a tear upon the dark green turf. Hastily we separated to avoid the gathering storm, and the church was left alone once more in its gloomy beauty; while" thenewly wedded pair swept off to the adjacent city. Three years had passed since the bridal at the village church. The old and faithful clergyman h of gone to meet the loved and lost; and one bright :ummer's day, when all that nature had of loveliness seemed mingled in its bird-songs and its sun-bine, I stood beside an open grave sod heirethe that sod fall upon the coan of my in tiler I was alone then, a stray waif floating uuver "the wide, wide world;" and gladly accept ed an invitation to spend a few months with a d.ar friend who resided in the neighboring city Although my recent affliction prevented all taste for gaity or amusement, my friend's earnest en treaties, and my own passion for music induced me to attend the opera for one evening. I lodened in wrapt attention to the delicious u ,zes of a favorite overture, which floated through the spacious hall, no* soft anti plaintive as th, i•uw notis of the dying swan, now swelling Jut,' lofty nod triumphant strains, like a chorus fr to a thousand voices. I was lost in a delight .u: reu.erie to which all that my heart had terea -at ed of the bright and sunny days of childhood se wed to have mingled with the glad dreams of w.,i utter years.

He had been the .11.tlut companion of May, and what wonder that ..he learn 'd to love him with all the • wti 1, deep fervor of ber romantic nature? Their 'Mt' was mutual, and on her sixteenth birth-day, were bethrothed. It required much persua u on his part to induce May to conceal their ugagewent from her father, for as she had kept n s-er, t from his ears; but at last she yit lded tTharik...._ , knew well that the wealthy Judge would Lever give his cherished pet, his Morning dear as he loudly called her, to one who could not of ter her a home equal to his own, with all the lux ur,es liter and it was for this reason that he wished to conceal their engagement until some favorable opportunity m,ght wear in which to pr-cs his suit. But one bright summer evening, when the leers had stolen away to their favorite haunt, J• -.Amine bower, betide a fountain which cast its silvery spray to a quiet nook amid the spacious gardens which surrounded the splendid mansion, ill. la, her surprised them as they sat in the soft awl dri ;my twilight; his arm thrown around her slight f tam , and his head bent low over her bright turls, while he whispered words of love.

W, will out dwell on the scene that ensued, the rof the stern Judge, the pride of Mr. Waliou, acid the mute des tair of May as she st r ov.• to pacify her father.

As day after day pease , ' wearily by, the smile faded from her lip, and her light step grew slow and heavy, and all her father's loge and tepdernese failed to divert her thoughts from the one grief which had made her young heart desolate. He had indeed told her that if Mr. Walton's charac ter was unexceptionable, he would wave all other consideration and permit her to receive hie ad d resses , bet there were rumors that he loved to "look upon the wine when it is red,' and his moral principles were not such as he would wish in the husband of his only child. May indig nantly rejected the suspicion with all the faith of a tirrt love, and still clung to his memory with the moat intense devotion. Two weeks had passed, and as she strolled list lessly through her father's spacious gardens, a little boy stole out of the shrubbery, and placed a tiny note in her hands With a wild cry of joy she broke the seal, as she recognised the hand-writing of her lover. The note contained only these words. "Meet me in the jessamine bower at half past eight, if you love me " She questioned the boy, but he could only tell her that a gentlemen had requested him to give the uute to her, and was waiting for an answer. She flew to her writiug &A, and hastily trae• the reply, "I will be there." It lacked but a few hours of the appointed time, and never had May Ludic looked more lovely than when she stoJel before the mirror iu her richly furnished dressing-room, and arranged her toilet lier dark c'es were radiant with the sunshine of her heart, and etude) were nestling in every dimple of her fair cheek.

We of i.he United States had, therefore, some reason to expect that the present contest with Russia, in behalf of Chris tianity and civilization, would be conducted in strict accordance with this benign aspiration In this, however, we have thus far been griev ously disappointed. One of the earliest attempts to "mitigate the evils of war" was exhibited in the Baltic ou occamon of a most desperate attack on a defenceless village without enuenchmenta of garrison. Here the champions of Christiani ty and civilisation, among other pastimes, &ma& ed thetnselvea in violating the wapien in the open streets, and other pleasant recreations This philanthropic desire to mitigate the evils of war was again exhibited in expelling the in habitants of the town of slalyk•ava, men, women and children, from their homes, merely on the faith of -a rumor" (we copy the English state in-ut) that the cunning rogues intended to set fire t / their own domicils, and we presume, run away by the light of them. All this, it seems, was done on the faith of a rumor; and so far se we know, these poor fugitives are now wandering over the Crimea at this inclement season without Li,,rue or shelter. But these are mere trifles compared with the last and most brilliant attempt at Sebastopol by the allied powers t mitigate the evils of war Ou the faith of a rumor or suspicion that a Rus sian hospital in that town, which was designated by the flag agreed on to protect it from the fire f th , • enemy, was, in reality, a military maga tin-, they directed a bombardment of the build ing, set it nn fire, and consumed two thousand w .uuded Russian soldiers in the flames.
