TO. i - , i i GEORGE GRAY'S WEDDING. From Blackwood's Magazine. In one of those narrow closes whlrh abound in the old part of the town of Edinburgh, lived apoor widow by ! the name of Gray. The day of hap- piness to many, rose to her the anni- versary of sorrow But it had not i always been thus. No: one vear airo I and not the youngest heart on Hansel I Vs maae fssed mother of athn- ... . ving boy. He was her. only child- long wished for, and granted when ! hope was almost dead. He seemed to ; Y bring a blessing with him, for every tiling had thriven with Agnes Gray since George's birth, f Hansel Mon day had been to her the happiest day of her life it was the birthday, of her child; and though she had since mour ned over the grave of a kind husband, yet, when the day came round, the heart of Agnes, son renewed her hymn of gratitude to God. That day twelve months past had been the day which tin mother had fixed upon for the wedding of her son. "It was the happiest day of my life. George, ' said she, and I would have it the happiest day of your's, and if Uod spare me to sec your Peggy as blest a mother as I have been, then may I say, Lord now leltest thou thy servant depart' in peace." Thus with his mother's blessing warm at his heart, and happiness mghtening eve ry feature, did ,the youthful bride groom quit his parent's roof. He was to return in the evening with his bride, who was thence forward to be the immate .of his mothers dwelling. tt ' a - 1 he widow tiad no lears nor misgiv- incsas to the worth or excllence of Georges wife for she had known and loved her from a child, and the first wish of her heart had been that George should marry pretty Peggy Burns. The daylight had long passed a- wav, and more than ;once had widow Gray trimmed the fire, and looked with pride and pleasure at the well furnish ed room, which was to be the abode of her new daughter, O, what could stay them? and for the first time alarm arose in the mother s heart. the took her seat beside the fire, and tried to At last she heard a noise her ears Could nolbedeceived-it was their foot steps on the stairs. She hurried to the door , with a light a man stood there; but the light fell upon the"ace of a stranger. "Who are you?" said the agitated mother. "Why do I see you here? My God! what has hap pened to my: boy? Whose are those voices that I hear below?" And she would hare rushed past him, but he caught her arm. "Come into the house," said the compasionate stran ger, "and I will tell you all." "O! I know it already!" said the mother; fmv boy, my boy is gone!" "No, he is not dead; believe me, my poor ? wornan , vour son liveth, but he has ;been severeiy nun, ana wiey are bringing him here at hisdesire.

A party of the wedding guests were the first to ob serve him and come to his assistance; he was-carried, into the house of his eggy's father, and it was some time before he uttered a word. At last he opened his eyes, and as Peggy hung over him he pressed her hand, and faintly utttered, "let them carry me to my mother." ' After a whilehowever, he recovered so far as to give some account of wltat had happened. The surgeon who Jiad been called in, hav ing now made his appearance, the poor young man again petitioned to be taken to his mother's house;; and seeing that quiet was not to be obtain ed where he was, the surgeon agreed to his immediate removal- All now having quitted the house of Mrs. Gray, except the surgeon and poor Peggy the mother, with trem bling hands, assisted to undress her son, and stood by while her son, w as bled. The doctor now saw him laid quiet, and proposed to leave them for the night. He had given no hope- he had said nothing; and the unhap py widow dared not ask a question, for she read in his face the sentence of her son's death. Next morning George desired to see the surgeon alone, and after conversing with him some moments', he sent for Peggy. They remained for some time togeth er, and when the mother entered the room, the poor; girl was seated by the bed, holding, the hand of her lover, paler if possibly, than before, but still and silent as death itself. "Mother, I have been telling Peg gy what I need not tell you, for I saw you knew how irwould be when you laid me here. And now, mv dear 90 mother, I have onlv. one wish, and that is to see. our good minister, and once more hear his voice in prayer O, I hoped toj have him perform an office far different from this! But the Lord's, will be done." The good man came, and after - a few words to the afflicted mother, he seated himself by the bed of her son. Peggy now rose for the first time, and taking the widow aside, she said some words in a low and earnest voice, but at that moment the minister called them to kneel round George's bed, and then he prayed aloud with all the fervor of a feeling heart. His were indeed the words of eternal life, and as he pour ed out the spirit in prayer, this world, with all. its sin and sorrow, faded from their eyes j The holy man now arose, and would have left them, 'but Peggy, starting forward, laid her hand upon his arm with a look of earnest sup- Kc ti and tried to speak; but the jF mbch foh and the mother then, advanced to explain her wishes. "If you think there nacthmg , . . . , WIshM ln t, ! made wife of roy por boy."

I have often come home. and found my wife weep ing in silence a silence that at first used to gore my soul but liquor soon hardened every thinp that looked like tenderness. She has told me the chil dren wanted clothe, but "curse the children," said I, "I want my drink, and Pll have it." One night I stay ed till two o'clock at the tavern play ing cards, and who should come in at that dread honr of the night, but my . wife with her infant in her arrai! Mjr God1 If my blood did'nt run cold, and curdle at my heart! Is this woman? Is this my wife? I exclaimed. Never, before did I realiie the full power of female virtue. My profane compan ions and myself were abashed. X cursed her, and told hr with severe threats, to go home. "No, that . I will not,'' said she rising in the diirni ty of injured innocence, though with a trepidation that shook her. whole framo like the aspen, and holding her tren; bling infant out to me, this is vour child, and I will not Stir one p from this spot till yon take it and co home with me!" She then turned to my. companions;- and upbranlect them as my destroyers,' in a strain o invective that, made them cower liko so many, discovered and disarmed as sassins before the messenger of retribu tive justice. We separated, asliamed of each other and our deeds of dark ness, almost sobered by this stranga and astounding apparition. I obeyed implicitly: for nothing makes a man more mean spirited than the habit of drinkincr. We went home and retired to rest; but wakiifg up in the night with a horrible thirst,, I tottered to the. bottle, and drank; went to sleep again; slept till ten o' clock; and when I .arose felt ditty and bewildered, wretched and hopeless! And, .so my days are passing!. Givo up the practice I will not. I cannot live without it. I have now no char acter to Jose no mind to "study no business to employ me no ambition to aspire no love, except for brandy,, gin, whiskey, rum; any thing which will supply, while it continually in flames more and more 'this dreadful thirst.
