What is friendship ?-—’tis a gentle flower‘
That only blooms beneath the sun's warm ray;
But if a storm—-an angiy cloud should.lower—
The bud is nipt-—the blossom’s past away.
What is friendship '1-’tis a breatliing spell,
The softest sound the lips have ever spoken;
A thing too pure on this cold earth to dwell,
A silken knot, scarce tied ere it is broken.
Yet ’tis the guiding star of all our hopes,
Our stav—our solace in this world of care,_;
And cold inusl be the heart, and sad the soul,
That has no friends itgsjoys—-—its griefs, to share
MISGELLANY.
The Bride’s Dep'art'1u-e.
The St. Louis correspondent of the Cincin-
nati Atlas relates the following incident,
which occurred on the boat in which he em-
barked from Louisville:
“ After 1 had gone on board-, a few moments
before we started, my attention was drawn
towards group of friends with whom I be-
came very much interested. It was a family
parting with _a daughter and sister who was a
bride, and was leaving the home and friends
of her childhood, to cast her lot will] one she
loved, and seek another home in the far, for
West. She appeared to be an only daughter
—at least there was no other sister there——
and the parting of the mother and child was
one ofthe. most afiiacting scenes I ever wit-
nessed. They sat for an hour side by side in
silence-—the heart was too full to speak-—
waiting for the boat to start, and appearing
anxious to remain together as long as possi-
ble. At length the last signal was given;
they then arose, and Will) a look ofgrief, that
I will never forget as long as I breathe, they
regarded each other for a moment, and then
enclosing themselves in each other’s arms
stood for a while trembling in their parting
anguish, as in fear lest, to sunder that em-
brace, vrould tear every heart-string loose.-
But at last, sumnioning streiigth, they bade
each other the sad farewell in :1 tone and man-
ner beyond the power of words to describe,
such as told all the depth ofa motber’s and
a daughter’s love, and such as subdued the
whole company who saw it into sadness and
tears. The father then came and gave his
parting blessings, and bade bis sad farewell,
and then took the mother and they moved
sadly away. When they had got to ilie cab-
in door, she turned to take the last, long, lin-
flering look, that the heart loves to, and will
take, when parting with some dearly loved
object, though we feel that in doing so, the
tide ofgrief, and woe, and anguish will poor
with a tenfold force around the soul. Their
eyes met, and iftbey should never meet on
earth again, that lingering look will be re-
mcnibcred till both hearts are cold and still
in death, till they meet again in Heaven.--
'l'be broiber:-, l.Vl o of them, remained on board
to take their parting at the foot of the Falls:
The eldest broiber—-almost a inan——-tried to
port viiili manly dignity; but the last em-
brace was too much ;? be quivered for a while
like an aspen leaf, and then bade farewell in
tears. The youngest—-=-a small bo_v—gave
loose to his anguish, and sobbed as ifhis very
heart would burst—and after kissing her
again and again, left her as though he had
left the sweetest and dearest friend on earth,
as though he‘ had met with his first sad, great
loss-——and I doubt not that amid all the storms
oflife, that parting hour will be remembered
forever. After they had got on shore they
stood on a point and waved their last adieu
till they were lost sight of in the distanc'e.——
Then, no doubt. afuli scitse‘ ofhsr lo:-:3 cont-
irig ironic with all its power to the young
girl’s heart,and feeling thatsfie was alone
in theworld with the man she loved, (who
stood by her wi".h his arm around lier,) she
hid her face in his bosom, and gave way to
all the agony of her grief. Then I thought,
what will woman not on when she loves wi:ii
all her heart? And what a treasure that man
could call his own,- when he held that young
girl in his arrns, and knew that she‘ suffered
allthat anguish for her love for hii‘n; and
then I thought what a base lzedrt his must be
if he could abuse that love, and betray that
trust and confidence. Yes, base he‘ must be,
if he does not love her more than his own
soul, and ifhe would not sacrifice every self-‘
lsll joy he has on earth to make her happy.
The Odd Bridegroo1n'.
A young clergyman sat in his sti.*dy‘,com-'
posing a sermon. It was a bright spring
morning, and in order to concentrate his
thoughts on the subject of the discourse he
was writing, Mr. Burton was obliged to close
of nature, which to him was most attractive.
in an obscure light, his pen was beginning
to move quite rapidly, when the wind blew
his blinds open, and sent his manuscript flut-
teringacross the floor. 'l'he_sunlight gushed
in, and at the same time, Mr. BuitoiI‘s ideas
flew out. .
He turned his chair and looked out of the
window. Beauty eharnied his eye, and the
music of singing bird-s fell on his ear. Nature,-
at that moment, appeared considerably more
attractive than theology. The green leaves
of the trees caused him to forget the leaves of
his manuscript. The plumage of the birds
made him disgusted‘ with his gray goose
quill. Yet Mr. Burton felt that he ought to
labor that morning.-
In casting about him to find an excuse for
his idleness, yre saw a ch-aise drive down the
street, and stop before his own-do-or. A good‘
looking, plainly-dressed‘ young man helped-
out a graceful; pretty girl, and they mounted‘
the steps together. Mr. Burton heard the
door bell‘ ring, and presently a domestic came
to inform that a young geniliemzm a-eds‘ lady
wished to-see him on business.
“A marriage, I am sure,-” thought the
clergyman, siniling. , V __ ,
He was not inistaken. The young man,
in aifranllk, off,-hand m_‘an'nei_-, told him that he
"°-mu "nding it was present’ and 8' rec°ipt',bad called for ibepurpose of getting married
the w-indow -blinds, and shut out the beauty .
- ~¢xl)_I' ;_~
to his c'om‘pani'on' ; and the girl's blu‘sh_es told
the same story.’ _ , l V I L
“ Very well,” said, Mr. Bhrton',~ “ I am‘ al-
vv'o'ys'read,y to make young people happy.-
You love each other :” '_
“ We would wait a day,or two if -we did
‘ 003.". replied the youth. .
His companion blushed again.
“ Have you witnesses Z" asked the clergy-
man. ‘ -
“ We are not rich,” answered the bride-
groom, “and could not afford the expense of
bringing any of our friends with us. If you
think we had better have witnesses perhaps
you will call in somebody.”
“ It will be well to do 30,” said the clergy-
man, smilino‘.
He called in a younger
housekeeper.
“We are in something of a ba~rry,”siii‘il
the bridegroom, as Mr. B. paused in the door-
way to give some orders to a domestic. “ I
have got to go to mill this afternoon, and it’s
a long drive home,”_
“ Stand up here then. and I will dispatch
you,” said the clergyman, with a vain attempt
at gravity.
“ You, George Chambers, promise to take
this woman to be your lawful w_ife Q’
George nodded. . -
“ To love her in sickness and health, to
share with her your joys and sorrows, your
bed and board-—do you promise 2” -
‘Another nod. , - -
“And you, Mary, promise to take this
man to be your husband P"
A nod and ii blush from Mary.
“ To love hirn—honor him '2"
Another nod. '
“ And obey him-”
A doubtful look from Mary.
"' In all things reasonable?" asked the
clergyman ; and she’ nodded. “ And to‘
make him a true and iiflectionate wife——-will
you promise?” '
Mary gave a decisive nod. Mi‘. Burton
added a few words, and pronounced. them
man and wife. Mary wiped her eyes and
George drew ii long breath. The clergyman
then made out his marriage certificate to
which the witnesses put their names: and
ended by giving them ii few words of advice.
At the some time, George slipped something
into his band, done up in a piece of white
paper. Afterwards,the bride and bridegroom
rode offin the chaise; the houselr.-eper, went.
to the kitchen, laughing ; the younger Burton
returned to his book, and the‘ clergyman to
his seimon. ‘
As the latter sat down to write, thinking
all the time,of the queer marriage ceremony
he had just perf-..rmed, he listlessly unfolded
the bitof paper the bridegroom had placed
in his hands. Peihaps the preacher was en-
rious to know how much so_ odd :1 man felt
able to pay for his marriage certificate.-’—
From the size ofihe piece, Mr. Burton judg-
cd that his fee must be something lizndsorne.
it was larger than a ,liallleag'le—-larger even
than an eagle. Could it be a twenty dollar
piece? Thcpapcr being folded, it was some-
time before‘ the clergyman could get at the
coin. His curiosity by this time was consid-
erably excited. ,_ At length he saw sometliing
very bright. The sun,s.li'o'ne on it. it was
:1 new, red--t,‘EN'rl Mr. Burton was a little
disappointed ; but laughing at the ludicrous
niistalce, lie lockedithc cent up in his desk,-
and devoted hiinselfto his sermon during the
remainder of the forenooa. ,
Six years had passed away. The st1oc'ess-
ful clergyman was one evening surprised by
a visit from astraoger. A well dressed, fine.
looking man lifted his hat, bowed respectful.
ly, and offered Mr. Button his hand. __
“_YQur n‘i'ci‘riory'is_bettc.'r than mine, if we
have ever met before,” said the clergyinan.
“ My name is George Chambers.”
Mr. Buiton had forgotten thathe had ever
fmoivn such an indi't'idt1a'l. '
“I think I can refresh your memory by
mentioning an incident,” said George. "‘ Do
you rerneinber marrying a couple six years
ago‘, and receiving for your trouble the fee of
one cent?" _ , , ,
Mr. Burton‘ liaughed, went to his desk. and
took from a small drawer a little roll of pa-
per. Unfolding this, he produced the cop-’
per in_question'.-
“ Yes: l remember all about it novv.”
"‘ Well, sir, lam the man.” _
“I remember your counte‘na'nce.”
"‘ You undoubtedly suppose that} in‘tcnde'd
to insult yoII!""' ‘
“No-1 tho-tight you were poor."
“' Sol was. ldid not know that l could
afford to give you any more. Marriage,-you
know, is a sort of lottery. Had l‘ given you
five or ten dollars, and got a poor wife in re-
turn, you must confess it would have b'ee‘n a
miserable bargain. Well, sir, the wife you
gave me is a prize. It has taken mesix years
to fmzl‘ out all her virtues, and now l have
come to‘ make you a suitable ack-nowledg-
irient.” , '
He placcil a purse‘ in the h'an‘d's of the as-
tonished mioisicr, who hesitated to accept it
.9‘ You need not scrapie to take it ; tl'i‘an'its
to my wife, 1 am now a tolerable rich man.”
The odd bridegroom tools‘. his departure.
Mr. Burton examined the donfemsof the
purse with lively curiosity; and he was not
a little surprised and_ gratified‘ to find that
they consisted of ten half eagles, brigh't,-shi-
ning-——apporently fresh from the mint!
