MARY: 01‘ the triumph of the Heart over itself. “Men have died, and women have eaten them not for love.” Ishallnot attempt to convert the old maxim by labored argument ; it may or itt may not be true; and yet the story I am; about to tell, will go far to show that the '. triumph of high moral sentiments over long cherished affec‘tions,_may work the slow yet sure decay of a gentle nature.— In the old Church Yard, where 1 have so often strolled during the Sabbath noons in Summer and Autumn, sleeps the once lovely form of Mary. on her tomb stone her name, death, and the simple eonplet that express- \ ed the love and sorrow of those who laid . -. her in her last dark CI1an'\b,oII.- H meg...- ry was often rehearsed by‘ the ne'glibors - who had admired and loved her, but the old man who had acted the part ofafather to the gentle orphan, was never weary of recalling every virtue and grace with which memory encircled her clinracter.—— VVhen an infant, her dying mother had commended her to the care of his who was an early friend, and as she had no children of her own, she bestowed all her affections on her adopted daughter. No pains were spared to render her love- ly, and her uncommon docilitv of disposi- tion made her a general favorite. Among her school fellows was a boy a few years older than herself, whose ne- glected training, and consequent ungra- cious manners, won the hearty dislike of She felt that want of kind- ness made his heart evil, and always strove to male him gentle and happy by winning words and pleasant smiles. quence was, that he became gentle and obliging to her, communicated all his sor- rows and bitterness of heart, and looked to her as his only friend. of uncommon beauty, . and his manners, when governed by high and gentle influ- ences, became fascinating and refined; but a sense of wrong, of shame for the misdeeds of those to whom he owed his Thomas’ Buihliiig. to the Room on the 2 being, and 3 feenng that he was degraded tor still give ever)’ attention to his cnsiomersin ’ in me eyes-of the winid -0-“ that account’ — ’ ' ‘ ‘had so embittered his spirits that her love tiny with his own. ted in his behalf.

I knewthat my dear child must soon leave us, and how could our hearts endure life without her !’ , He’ soon returned, bringing his drooping flower to fade and die among the hills where it had bloomed so sweetly. Shortly after her return, she communicatedthe ‘history of her heart to one of her most in- timate friends. Said she, ‘I pitlicd the boy for those very faults for which others blamed, for I saw that his heart was crushed by unkindness, sympathy; and when _I ust d to speak kind- ly, and notice him in our little plays, - he was so gentle and tender, and his clear dark eyesexpressed so much gratitude that Icaimo; wonder he became an object of childish love. For that I can scarce- ly blame myself, but as I grew older and saw that he was surrounded by such influences that he could hardly become other than a vicious man, erred greatly in l)(‘Sl_O\\’lllg anything more than feelings of friendship upon him; and yet I did not re- alize that he was my heart’s idol until I there was little hope that he would ever be brought back to the life of virtue. My heart sunk under it; not so much because it; earthly hopes were blustcd, as front the c_oiiviction that in sufferiiig such a love to find a place in it, I had dislionored the kind friends who had acted the part of pa- rents to a destitute orphan, and more than lall bad departed from the love of the Re- tdeemer. But now the struggle is over, and I feeltliat I shall s)oii rest in peace in the arms of my reconciled Saviour. It was this struggle between love and duty that undermined my health, and yet for my own sake,Ido not regret that my heart will soon be freed from its weakness, but for those who have bestowed on me such undeserved affection, I feel most: deep- :ly. Ikiiow that my early death will al- most break their hearts. ‘I in have done wrong in keeping all '9 lomgtiirpm,’ said "her friend; ‘they -‘.'-5-1. . - ‘I could not tell them,’ replied Mary; ‘I could not find strength to say to them that the weakness ofmy heart had cost them all their suffering and sorrow on my ac- count; but if you think justice demands it, tell them for me.’ When the old folks heard the story how she had for their sakes, and for the honor of the religion which they had taught her, refrained from even encouraging his love, they expressed the deepest regret. ‘Oh!’ said the old lady, ‘why have you done so my child’! \Ve would not think of opposing you in any thing.’ ‘How could I think of bringing disgrace upon those who have done so much for me l’ inquired Mary. ‘l knew he was un- worthy whom my foolish heart idolized, and that my life would only be made wretched by uniting my destiny with his.’ ‘No,’ rettirned the ltind friend, had we entertained the most distant idea of this, we would have taken him and rendered ltim worthy of your love. And perliapsit is not too late even now,’ continued she, as hope whispered that her life iriiglit yet be spared. ‘It is too late to bring back my wasted frame to health and vigor,’ replied Mary, ‘yet it might recall him to a sense of duty to know that his irregularities have cost so much sorrow.’ ‘ The young man was accordingly invited their house, and remained with them till ,l Iary’s departure, for it could hardly he lied death which so gently emancipated er spirit. Her earnest exliortatious, and consciousness that a virtuous life might llave won her for its partner, seemed to give him new resolutions, and those who loved him for her sake believed that with ller he might have lived a life of usefulness and propriety. l It was a beautiful Sabbath in early au- tiimn that the sacrament of the Lord’s Sup- per was administered to the church of vi’-hich Mary was a member. At her re-‘ quest, the pastor, deacons, and a few of er to hold intercourse with each other be-,lier neighbors and friends, repaired to her yond the school-room. some years often meet after those days were_ past, for Mary felt that his character was such that it would bring dishonor up- S on those she loved, were she to encourage She saw that he became wt-alter in moral principle as herinfluence was less felt. She even knew that her re- jection rendered him hopeless and desper- Often,very often did she feel that she was the only human being who could lead him in the paths of virtue and peace, yet: she feared the force of early neglect and subsequent irregularities would be even stronger than her influence; and yet her heart would hope that he would emerge into a higher life, and become the fit companion of a refined and virtuo_us spirit. A mysterious sympathy seemed to unite them, yet each felt that the distagce or his addresses. ate. between‘ them was immeasurable. months she watched his course, vascilla- ting between hope and fear, until she lear- ned that he had taken . to the fatal bowl, Nor did they fol-lcliamber after the close of the exercises at church, that she might once more com- hemorate on earth the dying love of the avior. Slowly and solemnly tbeywound their way through the beautiful valley sltirted with woodland, through which peeped the bright waters of the quiet little like spread out at their right hand; at their left lay well cultivated farms, and or- chords bending with fruit, while almost llefore them rose a high hill, over whose summit they must climb before they would reach the dwelling of the de- parting girl. To _a stranger, the scene was one of "beauty, but to one who those had been to Mary,and how soon her eyes would be closed forever on all that she admired on earth, there was a-voice of submlime sadness whispering in every tlountainjbrceze.

' ‘Wliy do they come so slowly 7!’ asked she. ‘I fear I shall not be here uher. they _ arrive.’ ‘, ‘There is no visable alteration in you,i Mary,’ replied the youth, who sat by her bed, tvatching every indication of the rip: proach of the fatal messenger ‘I trust you, will not so soon leave us as you imaginc.’,i She shook her head, then in alow voice; said —‘I shall not behold arntlier day onl earth,’ and then beckoned liiinto look’onc’e' more. ‘They are coming dearest,’ said he, ‘and will soon be here.’ ‘Then is my request granted,’ said the dying girl. ‘My exit will be sweet and fearless.’ ‘With slow and measured trend they as- cended to her room, as though the spirit had already winged its way to another and Her pale face glowed as with uneartlily brightness, and hie: voice was clear and ttnftyltering, as, supported on the bosom of africnd, she welcomed each by name, and expressed her pleasure at meet- ing them once rnorc. The solemn scene which, in this chamber of sickness and suffering, brought back to the heart the dying love of the Savior, may be imag- ined but never described. \Vhen the em. blems oftlie broken body and shed blood of the Savior had been received by the gentle sufferer, her sweet clear voice was heaitlatnong them as in other days. All wereiastonishetl at the fresh strenath with which she moved her limbs andaspolte; and a feeling that she was not thus to go seemed spontaneously to govern all but her. She called each in turn to her bed- side, spoke with rapture of her departure, and the prospect of meeting them in glory, knew what objects of familiar love all. ~I cart find some assistance in the marble; -of Boston, who tried matrimony in the received the blessings of her beloved pas- tor, and then calling to her the young man whose weal’, ei-ring course had cost her such bitterness, she placed her band in his, and gently said, “Prepare to meet your Mary in heaven." A shade passed over her features like the flitting of a white cloud before the sun, her eyes closed, and all was over. The hushed stillness of death was in- terrupted only by the suppressed sobs of those who loved and mourned the early departure of the gentle orphan. The last rays of the setting sttn gilded the distant hill-tops, as the mourning group knelt round the eotich of the depar- ted, while the ti-emulous voice-of the pos- torletrtiieir humble supplications. And when they rose, the youth still clasped the hand which her dying love had preferred, and the gentle remonstrances of friends could scarcely persuade him to relinquish it. It seemed like sundering the last tie. that bound him in holy sympathy with his’ kind. Relucfantly did these foster parents consign the beautiful dust of their loved one to her last resting place, and tears of sympathy and deep regret bedewed many an eye that was unused to such gentle ex- pressions of sorrow.
