THE CHURCHES OF OUR LAND PIT MIE a[•RT ANNE nnow:c. [The following beautiful verso was written for a Lady's Fair in Liverpool.) They lie in valleys buried deep, They stud the barren hills; They're mirror'd where proud rivers sweep, And by the humbler rills; A blessing on each holy lane, Wherever they may stand, With open door, for rich and poor, The churches of our land. Ye boast of England's palaces, Her cities and her towers; Of mansions where her sons at eneo Dwell 'midst her greenwood bowers; But a deeper Sella° of reverence God's. temple, should commend, widlo knuu alia:l bend, and prayer ascend. In the churelleil of our land. Oh ! pleasant are the pealing bells, Heard at tho Sabbath time, Calling to prayer from hills and deli., With their melodious chime; And glorious is the sacred song, • Serell'll by s fervent band, When the organ's note loth proudly float Thro' the churches of our land. Talk nut of England's "wooden walls," Her better strength is here; Her trust around the spirit falls, Subduing doubt and feat; Here her brave sone have gather'd power, Nerving each heart and hand— Most fearless prove those who best love The churches of our land, They stand, the guardians of tho faith For which our fathers died; • God keep those temples still from scathe, Our blessing and our pride! Our energies, our decd.*, our prayers. All these should they command, That never fee may lay them low, The churches of our land.

I wxstt Mary Eleott woe richir," ex. claimed Charles Masters, as if thinking aloud, breaking the silence which bad now lasted for more than five minutes at his friend's dinner table. "And I second your wish, Masters," an swered his companion, coolly cracking an almond, and drawing the wine toward him, "since you seem so heartily in earnest— although I cannot see why you should de sire it so much. Is (bore not something more than a mere interest there, eh! Mas tend" "To be candid with con there is, or rs• ther would be if Mary was but rich.

Now it is ten the other day that von told tin! your profes , ion rinl 1. ed you two thousand dollars n 3 car—surely it is not impossible to live, even %lion wor ried, on such an income. 1 make but bare fifteen hundred, and yot 1 should not be afraid to venture matrimony to morrow, although it is true 1 should calculate on increasing my inecme in a ear or two." "Exactly; but you were always a saving fellow, even with your pocket money at school, when 1 have always liked to live a little more expensively. Now two thou. sand dollars will just allow me to live as I wish, but even then it must he as a bache. lor. There is my horse, and then my pri. vote parlor, and there is my annual trip to the springs—all these I must have, and to have them, I must spend my two thousand. Now if I get married, without I wed an , heiress, I shhuld. have to give up all these —in other words I must surrender my tilbury mid walk on foot, while my wile must patronize the omnibus or slay at home. Egad I just - think of it—the lady of Charlas Masters, Eeq. Attorney at Law, running after a Chesnut street omnibus whenever she is tired and wishes to return home.' "All very humerous, my dear fellow-- join me in a glass—but still it has little to do with the question; and sines you have consulted me 1 will," he continued smiling, "give you, as the old women say, a bit of my mind. I dislike, as much as you, to deprive a wife of the comforts of life, but with your income, or even mine, there. is little danger of doing that. The very thing which you cling to so perversely are luxuries; mere luxuries, nothing else under the sun. Possessed of the love of some virtuous woman you would soon learn to do without them—aye I and enjoy ten fold.' more happiness than you do now. Believe me, my dear fellow, you aro misleading yourself on this important subject. It is not necessary that you should marry an heiress. You can live, and respectably too, for the first year or two, on your income; and after that, .with your talents, and the standing marriage will give you, you need fear nothing. 1 do not speak what lam not willing to practice. You are a lawyer and 1 ant a physician. Your profession can be made available sooner than mine.

You have seen her, I believe, - but once, for she returned only last week from New York, where, however, 1 met her Inst summer during my three months so journ there. I have every reason to be lieve we shall be happy, even," and again he smiled, "on a . bare fifteen hundred a year." • -•You etirpris' me," said :tipsters, after a pause, but still there is a difference be- twixt Your case and mine. Mary has p high views of things, and as she could not,' if married to me, live, at least for some years, in the style in which her father lives, she would—you may depend on it —grow discontented and peevish. You shako your heed, but it would, I am cer fain, be so. Even if /could give up these comforts, which you call luxuries,she could not—" "Stop, my dear fellow, you misrepresent Mon•. I know her well. She is like the kind of girl you pretend she is. I will not enter into details, but of this I ran as• sure you," and here he ernpasied his words, "that if Mary could love a man she would cheerfully give up every thing but the bare necessaries of life, to follow his fortunes." "Well—well, it mny be. She is at any rate an angel. I have had hard work to keep mys3lf from falling in love with her, although conscious of the folly of uniting My lot to hers in the present state of my finances. Confound this money—why had she not a few thousands, or why am I not richer?—l must stop thinking of her, or going there so often, for," and bore he paused and added, "it cannot be. There is Charlotte Spencer, wm all toy relatives wish me to marry-0e is rich, pretty, ac complished—l suppo i se I shall have to pro pose to her, thougb; heaven knows! if Mary had but half her rriczney I would prefer her. after all there - is an-old saying 'that when poverty comes in the door, love flies out the window." "As you please, Masters, but you are still deceiving yourself, by calling comfort poverty, and pretending that a wife will Biggar you even with two thousand. I will say no more of Mary, except that I lieve a nobler or more beautiful woman you will never find. She is a treasure herself. Nor will I say ought of Miss Spencer, beyond a word- 7 I fear she has a bud temper. And now, my dear fellow, let us dismiss this matrimonial debate, and take to our cigars—here are some choice Habanas." Charles Masters, as our readers will have seen, was one of those young men who without being an acted fortune-hunter, deem some monsy indispensable in a wile —although, as in his case, they veil their real character from themselves by a course of deceptive sophistry, and will not admit the actual selfishness of their views. His friend, Henry Prescott, was of a different character. Love, with him, was a pure unaho) ed passion—a sentiment in which nothing base took part—a holy exalted feel ing which filled the heart with sunshine, and would have made even privation endu• rattle. He loved Ellen Elcott with his whole soul, and had long been satisfied that his love was,returned. Indeed, as ho said, their union was already settled. He saw with pain the determication of his friend, for he knew Chisrles wa a fiworite with Mary, although, as yet, the feeling had not on her part ripened into a warmer senti. mont more, however, because the atten.

It Wag with an inward sigh, therefore, that Prescott heard, a few days after the above conversation that the attentions of Charles to Miss Spencer were becoming of the most marked character. He saw also that Mas• ters no longer visited the Elcutts. The love for display had triumphed over affec tions. Meanwhile time slipped rapidly away, and rumors began to be prevalent that Charles had proposed fur and been accept ed by Miss Spencer. In a little time the report was confirmed by those who were belieyed to know, and to set all doubt at rest it was authorized by Charles himself. He met Prescott casually, for of late they had been less intimate than formerly. ! my good monitor," he said, laugh ingly, "they tell me you and Ellen are to be married in a fortnight. Is it so? Glad to hear it. But I shall not be long behind you—egad ! since I come to think of it, we shall be married on the same day.— Miss Spencer is a fine, dashing girl—a, cool fifty thousand is hers —we shall live in some style,, but you must come and see us. Cards and all that sort of thing, will be sent you. But I forgot—l've an appointment to look at a pair of carriage horses at elev en, and it now only wants five minutes of that hour. Good bye--111 see you soon." "There goes a fine fellow who is about to sacrifice his happiness to his love of dis play," mused Prescott, as his eye followed the net ditig form of his friend; and with a sigh he turned and walked on. They were married--PrescOtt and his bride seeking their simple, yet comfortable home, while Mr. and Mrs. Masters were whirled •ofl on a fashionable tour from which they returned in due time to aston ish the town by their splendid entertain ments. But alas! even before the honey moor, was over Masters found that his friend's anticipations were true, and that Mrs. Masters, though rich, beautiful and accomplished, threatend, by a Peevish tem per, to embitter his life. As, time elapsed, moreover, the evil only increased and about two months after the wedding, it was more than doubled by an event which then occurred. This was nothing more than the discovery—then first made by tlie nal settlement of Mr. Spencer's estate—Ow-I his daughter was in realty worth but a bare ten thousand dollars. The knot‘ ledge of this circumstance could not fail to irritate a husband whose chief motive in marrying wits to possess himself of hie wile's fortune crimination and re-criminations ensued betwixt the ill mated pair—nod, as usual the interview ended to a flood of tears on the part of the lady, and a volley of curses on that of the • gentleman. -Sei zing his hat, Masters rushed from the house in no very enviable state of mind. Almost the first persen he met was a mu• tool acquaintance of himself and Prescott. ! Maters—the very man I wanted to see—have you heard the news--I am glad of it for both their sakes. I see you are ignorant, and that I am the first to bring you the intelligence. Welt then. Prescott has had a glorious windfall to the way of fortune--his wife and her sister Ma ry have fallen co heiresses to a hundred and' filly thousand dollars, left them by an East Indian uncle. whom they had riot heard of for twenty years. I once thought you and Mary would be married, but I was mis taken—she has been engnged you know a month or more to Mr. Leicester, your old rival. But I must hurry on. You look ill. I hope all is well at home. Remember me to your bride." Masters did not speak, hut, in his heart. he cursed the dny he ever saw Mies Spen cer, or refused the love ()leech an angel as Mary Elcott, for filthy lucre. He was rightly punished, in being tied for life to a peevish, extravagant, end comparatively portionless woman. If his story shall prove a lesson to our readers, our object in relating it will have been fulfilled. It is better to deal in truth, simple though it be, than in fiction, howev er gorgeous.
