POETRY
FROM THE GU.VitDIAX.
THE VICTIM OP CONSUMPTION.
“For her, uoue felt pity; a high fe2ling^ arose ia every
br> ast; nnd-beautiful as she was on earthy there canjo across
the souls of ail who beheld her, a thought of one siUi more
beautiful in heaven!”
The creen earth smiled loveliness, all radiant and fair
Glad m-lodies from every grove were echocd through the air.
And 9pvin^, with footsteps light and free danced ’mid the sum*
mer bowers,
Awak ning, with her magic touch, the zophvfs and the
flowers.
Yt;t ’mid the murmur of the streams, I heard a note of wo ;
I was fcthoiid ui tho forest shades, when breezes whisptTed
low’,—
For death had w'reathod his garlands 'round a brow serenely
bright,
And s3t his seal on one too fair, too pure for earthly blight.
We sn w her, when, in youth’s bright morn she roved among
life’s flowers;
When Heaven’s pure sunshine lent its ray, to gild those bliss
ful hours;
Wo tl'.ought of her as some bright one, but cherislied to
depart,
^^hose memory long sliould linger near entwined around the
heart.
Her name was then most fondly shrined in many a youthful
brjaat,
And silent prayers were breathed to heaven that we mignt be
as blest;
And when she passed, the pilgrim grey wiped oiT no starting
tear, ^
He thought of but a spirit bright, her God and Saviour near.
Again I saw that samted one w’hcn years had sped their fli»'ht,
A cloud had shadowed that fair brow, still pure as Heaven’s
own hght;
Health’s glow had faded from her cheek, yet beauty lin^^ered
there—
Truly, she seemed hut ‘'lent to earth, to show what anr^ds
are!”
O death! the weary pilgrim hails thy presence with delight,
For all his woes are soothed to rest in thv '• unbreakmi
night,”
Yet when we hear tliy voice among the early buds and
flowers.
We weep, for they were wont to cheer this darksome world
of ours!
Yet could wc pierce the darkling veil which hi-les them from
our sight,
Could we but view* them far above enthroned in realms of
light.
And hear their songs arouud tlie throne, then should we weej)
no more,
Eut only seek to dwell with them on that immortal shore.
The.se were our thoughts when near we stood around the bed
of death.
And listened for the last, low' sigh, and watched the fleeting
breath ;
Oh! beautiful that blest one seemed, as though a beam from
Heaven
Already tinged her marble brow, brighter than hues of even;
And far away we pictured her, upon that blissful shore
Where angels strike their harps of gold, for ever, ever more ;
We knew that if on earth her brow’ seemed radiant and fair.
More glorious would it shine above, for all are lovely there!
One last, fond look she gave, and then Deatl:’s agony was
o’er—
The spirit to :ts God was given, to weep and mourn no more;
Cahnly we laid her angel form beneath the turf to rest,
on earth so lyveil, must be forever
And ki>ew that one
blessed!
B.
MISCELLAXY.
MARRIED LIFE.
A TALE OF LOVE AND HAPPINESS, DEDICATED
TO THE WHOLE BACHELOR TRIBP:,
I have often had occasion to rer.iark the fortitude
with which women sustain the most overwhelminn-
cversfs of fortune. I’hose disasters which break
I >n n the spirit of a man, and prostrate him in the
seem to call forth all the energies of the sof-
sex, and give such intrepidity and elevation to
fi) ii character, that at times it approaches to sub-
• » —Nothing can be more touching than to be-
ol-J a soft and tender female, who Ijad been all
vfiiknt ss and dependence, and alive to every tri-
M.il roughness, while treading the paths of life, and
su l h niy rising* in mental force, to be the comfor-
i. r of her husband under misfortune, and abiding
with unshrinking firmness the bitterest blasts of ad-
vpisity.
As the vine which has long twined its graceful
foliage about the oak, and been lifted by it into sun
shine, will, when the hardy plant is lifted by the
«hund^'rbolt, cling around it with its caressing" ten
drils, and bind up its shattered boughs, so it ishean-
iifully ordered by Providence, that woman, who is
t.ie mere dependent and ornament of man in his
happ.est hours, should be his stay and solace v/hen
smitt. n with sudden calamity, windinjr herse’f in
the ruggfd recesses of his nature, tondSrly suppor
ting the drooping head and binding up tiie broken
hfait.
I was once congratulating a friend who had
aroun-J him a bloommg family, knit together in the
stiougtst affection. “I can wish no better lot”
said he with enthusiasm, i^than to have a wife and
children. If you are prosperous, they are there to
share your prosperity ; if otherwise, they are there
to comfort you." And indeed, I have observed tliat
a married man falling into misfortune, is more apt
to retrieve his situation in the world than a single
one, partly because he is more stimulated to exer
tion by the necessities of the helpless and beloved
bemgs who depend upon him for subsistence, but
chietiy be«muse his spirits are soothed and relieved
bv domestic endearments, and his self-respect kept
alive by finding lhat lh-6ugh all abroad is darknc®
and humiliation, yet there is still a little ^rorld of
love at home, ot which he is the monarch • where
as a smgle man is apt to run to waste and self-ner.
lect, to fimcy hutisel lonely and abandoned, and his
heart to fall to rum like some deserted mansion for
want of an inhabitant.
These observations call to mind a little domestic
story, of which I was once the witness. IVIy inti
mate friend Leslie, had married a beautiful and ac
complished girl, who had been brought up in the
midst of fashionable life. She had, it is true, no for
tune, but that of my friend was ample; and he de
lighted in the anticipation of indulging her in eve-
ry elegant pursuit, and administering to those deli
cate tastes and fancies that spread a kind of witche
ry aboin the sex. “Her life,” said he, “shall be
like a fairy tale.”
The very difference in their characters produced
a harmonious combination. He was of a rornan-
fj* and somewhat .^erious she was all life and
gladness. I have often noticed the mute rapture
with which he would gaze upon her in company,
of w'hich her sprightly powers made her the de
light ; and how in the midst of applause, Jiev eye
would still turn to him, as if there alone she sought
favor and acceptance. When leaning on his arm
her slender form contrasted finely with his tall and
manly person. The fond confiding air with which
she looked up to him seemed to call forth a flush
of triumphant pride and cherishing tenderness.
Never did a couple set forward on the flowery path
of early and well suited marriage wdth a fairer
prospect of felicity.
It was the mishap of my friend, however, to have
embarked his fortune in large speculations, and he
had not been married many months, when, by a succes
sion of sudden disgsters, it was swept from him, and
he found himself almost rcduced to penury. For a
time he kept his situation to himself, and went about
with a haggard countenance and a breaking heart.
His life was but a protracted agony, and what ren
dered it more insupportable, was the necessity of
keeping up a smile in the presence of his wife,
for he could not bring himself to overwhelm her
with the news. She saw, however, with tho quick
eye of affection, that all v/as not well with him.
She marked his altered looks and stifled sighs, and
was not to be deceived by his sickly and vapid at
tempts at cheerfulness.- She tasked all her spright
ly powers and tender blandishments to win him
back to happiness; but she only drove the arrow
deeper into his soul. The more he saw cause to
love her, the more torturing was the thought that
1 t •
he was soon to make her wretched A little w’hile,
thought he, and the smile will vanish from that
cheek—the song will die away from those lips—
the luster of those eyes will be quenched with sor
row ; and the happy heart which now beats lightly
in that bosom will be weighed down like mine, by
the cares and miseries of the world.
At length he came to me one day; and related
his whole situation in a tone of the deepest des-
^ir. When I heard him through 1 inquiretl.
Does your wife know all this?” At the question
he burst into an agony of tears. “ For God sake !”
cried he, “ if you have any pity on me don’t men
tion my wife, it is the thought of her that drives
nie almost to madness!”
‘v\nd why not?” said I. She must know it.
sooner or later Vou cannot keep it long from her,
and the intelligence may break upon her in a more
startling manner than it imparted by yourself; for
the ai3cen!s of those we love soften the harshest tidings
Besides, you are depriving yourself of the sympa
thy, and not merely that, but also endangering the
only bond that can keep hearts together—an unre
served community of thought and feeling. She
will soon preceive that something is secretly prey
ing upon your mind, and true love will not brook
reverse ; it feels undor\ alaed and outraged, when
the sorrows of those it loves are concealed from it.”
•• Oh, my friend, but to think what a blow f am
to gi’.'c to all her future prospects—how am I to
strike her very soul to the earth, by telling her that
her husband is a beggar—that she is to forego all
the elegancies of life—all the pleasures of society—
to sink with me into indigence and obscurity. "To
tell her that 1 have dragged her down from the
sphere in which she might have continued to move
in constant brightness—the light of every eye—the
admiration of every lieait. How can she bear
poverty ? She has been brought up in all tho re
finement of opulence. How can she bear neglect ?
She has been the idol of society, i >, it will break
her heart—it will break her heart!”
I saw his grief ^-aa eloquent, and I let it have
its flow, for sorrow relieves itself by wOrds. When
his paroxysm had sub'^ided, and he relapsed into
moody silence, I resunied the subject gentlv, and
I urged him to break his situation at oncc* to his
wife. He shook his head mournfulJv, bu» no^’fivr-
lysaid“>V’ ■"
“liut ho'.v are you to keep it from her ? It is
necessary slie should know it. that you may take
the necessary steps to the alteration of living—nav,”
observing a pang to pass across his countenance,
“dont let that afBict you. I am sure you have
never placed your happiness in outward show—-
you have yet friends, who will not think the v/orse
of you for being less splendidly lodged ; and sure-
l\ it docs not rcquiie a pala'c to be happy with
Mary ” '
‘- I could be happy with her,” cried he convul-
sivel]^, in o iiovel! 1 could go down with her in
to poverty and the dust—I could—I could—God
bless her! God bless her!” cried he burstin'^ into
a transport of grief and tenderness. °
And believe me, my dear friend,” said I step
pin^ up and grasping him warmly by the hand ”
“believe me she can be the same with you. Ay.
more; it u*ill be the source of pride and triumph
to her, It will call forth all the latent energies and
fervent sympathies of her nature, for she will re
joice to prove that she loves you for yourself There
IS in every true woman’s heart, a spark of heaven
ly hre, which lies dormant in the broad daylio-ht of
prosperity, but which kindles up and gleams and
blazes m the dark hour of adversity. No man
knows what the wife of his bosom is, no man kno\v«
what a ministermg angle she is, until she has crone
with him through the fiery trials of this workl”
There was something in the earnestness of my
language, that caught the excited imagination of
Leslie. I knew the auditor I had to deal
his wife, she was only anxious to conform to their
altered fortunes.
Some days afterwards he called upon me in the
evening. He had disposed of fais house, and taken
a small cottage in the country a few miles from
town. He had busied himself all day sending out
furniture. The new’ establishment required but few
articles of the simplest kind. All the splendid fur
niture of his late residence had been sold except his
wife’s piano. That he said was too closely associ
ated with herself—it belonged to the little story of
their loves—for some of the sweetest moments of
their courtship were those when he had leaned over
the instrument and listened to the melting tones of
her voice. I could but smile at this instance of ro
mantic gallantry in a doating husband.
He was now going out to the cottage where his
wife had been all day superintending its arrange
ment. My feelings had become strongly interested
in the progress of this family storj”, and as it was a
fine evening, 1 offered to accompany him.
He was wearied with the fatigues of the day, and
us he walked out, fell into a fit of gloomy musing.
“Poor Maiy!” at length broke, with a heavy
sigh, from his lips.
“And what of her?'’ asked I, “has anything
happened to her !”
What,” said he, darting an impatient glance, “ is
it nothing to be reduced to this paltry situation—to
be caged in a miserable cottage—to be obliged to
toil almost in tho m^jnial concerns of her wretched
habitation ?”
*• Has she then repined at the changc ?”
‘•liepincd! She has been nothing but sweetness
and good humor. Indeed, she seems in better
spirits than I have ever known her; she has been
to me all love, and tenderness, and comfort.”
‘‘Admirable girl!” exclaimed L “You call
yourself poor, my friend, you never were so rich—
you never knew the boundless treasure of excellence
you possessed in that woman.”
“ Uh, but my friend, if this first meeting at the
cottage were over, I think 1 could be comfortable.
But this is her irst day of experience. She has
been introduced into an humble dwelling—she has
been employed all day in arranging its miserable
equipments—she has for the first time known the
fatigues of being obliged to do domestic employment
—she has for the first time looked around her on a
home destitute of every thing elegant—almost of
every thing convenient, and may now be sitting
down exhausted and spiritless, brooding overapros-
pcct of future poverty.”
There was a degree of probability in this picture
that I could not gainsay, so we walked on in silence.
After turning from the main road up a narrow
lane so thickl}' shaded^ by forest trees as to give it a
complete air of seclusion, we came in sight of a cot-
t tage It was humble enough in its appearance for
the most pastoral poet; and yet it had a pleasing
rural look. A wild vine over-run one end with a
profusion of foliage; a few trees threw their branch
es gracefully over it. and I observed several pots of
flowers tastefully disposed about the door, and on
the grass plat in front. A small wicket gate open
ed upon a footpath that wound through some shrub
bery to the door. Just as we approached the door
we heard the sound of music. Leslie grasped my
arm. AV'e paused and listened. It was ^Mary’s
voice singing, in the stylo of most ti.uchingsimjili-
city, a little air of which her husband was particu
larly fond.
1 leit liCslie's hand tremble on my arm. He
stepped forward to hear more distinctly. His steps
tnade a noiso on the gravel walk. A bright beau-
tiiul fac'’ tj'lanced out at the window and vanished;
a light footstep was beared, and Alary came trip
ping forth to meet us; she v;a.^ in a rural dress of
^ A few wild flowers were tu isted in her
fine hair. A fresh bloom was on her cheek. Her
whole couutenance beamed with smiles. I have
never seen her look so lovely,
“ My dear George,” cried she, “ I am so glad you
are come. I have been watchhigand watclung for
you, and running down the lane, and looking out
for you. 1 have set out a beautiful table under a
beautiful tree behind the cottage, and I’ve been
gathering some of the most delicious strawberries,
for I know you are fond of them—and we have
such excellent cream—and every thing is so sweet
and still here—“ Oh, ' said she, putting her arm with
in his and looking up brightly in his face, Oh, we
shall be so happy I”
Poor Leslie was overcome. He caught her to
his bosom; he foldtd his arms around her; he kiss
ed her again and a^in; he could not speak, but the
tears gushed into his eyes ; and he has often assur
ed me that though the world has since gone pros
perously with him, and his life has indeed been a
happy one, yet never has he experienced a moment
of such unutterable felicity.

Rather Snakish.—The Editor of the Concordia
(Louisiana) Intelligencer is of the opinion that his
country is a delightful one, but declares it is very
shaky. He says his office and sleeping room are
so near to, that they may be said to be inside of a
cotton field. Every night, on going to rest, he has
to shake the snakes out of the bed—considering it
amusement to kill three or four before getting to
.«leep. W^hat makes him write about snakes, says
he, is, that he has been disturbed by a long garter
crawling over the table, and making rather free with
his newspapers. He has an idea of setting up a
snake museum.
