Leona, the hour draws nigh, Thu hour wa'VB waited so long, For tho angeli to open a door through thc sky, That my spirit may break from its prison and try Its roico in an infinite song. Just now os tho sbmbors of night Came o'er rae with peace-giving breath, T!ic curtain, half lifted, revealed to my-sight Thoso windora which look on tho kingdom of light, That borders the river of death. ?nd a vision fell solemn and sweet, Bringing gleams of a morning-lit land ; I saw the whito shore which thc palo waters boat, And I beard-tho lull os they broke at their feet Who walked on the beautiful strand. And I wonde.-ed why spirit should cling To their clay with struggle and sigh, When life's purple autumn is better than spring,. And the soul flies away like a sparrow to sing In a climule where flowers nover dio. Loona, como close to my bed, And lay your dear hand on my brow; The same touch that thrilled mc in days that are fled, And raised tho lost roses of youth from the dead, Can brighten thc brief moments now.' Wo have loved from the cold word apart, And your trust was too generous omi true For their bnti to o'ertkrow; when thc slanderer's difH Was rankliuj; deep in niy desolate heart, ' '<fel was dctrcr than ever to you. I thank the G reit Father for this, That our love is nut lavished iu vain ; Each gem,-in thc future, will blossom to bliss, And tho forim that wo love, and the lips that wb kiss, Never shrink at thc shadow of puin. Ey the light of this faith I am taught That my labor is only began ; In the Ftrcngih of thc hope I struggled and fought, With-tholegii ns of wrung, lill my armorhastaught Thc gleam of Eternity's suu.

The curtain drew up, and amidst a burst of applause flic hero of the piece made his ap pearance. He had hardly uttered twelve words when it Mt nek me that something strange was the ?natter with kim. The play wa ?a boisterous comedy of the old school, aud required considerable spjr|t ?.nd vivacity in liie actors to sustain it properly : butin this man ibero was none; he walked and talked like II person in a dream, hi? best points he passed 0"er without appearing to perceive them; and altogether he appeared quite unlit for i he patt. His smile was ghastly, his laugh hollow and unnatural ; and frequently he would fctnp suddenly in his speech and let his eye wander vacantly over thc audience. Kv?n'wkcn in his character of a silly hus band, ha bal to sutler himself to be kicked about thcitage, by the young rake of the corned)', and afterward^ to behold that care less individual making love to bis wife, and eating his t.upper while he wis shut up in a closet from whence he could not emerge, his contortions of judicious wrath, which had never before failed to call down plenty of ap plauso, wero now such dismal attempts to por -tra}' the passion, that hisses were audible in various pat ts of the theatre. The atidienco were fairly out of temper; and several inquis itive individuals we.e particular in their en quiries as O fhe extent of potatious he had indulged in that evening. A ?torra of sibila tiou and abuse now fell round thc ears of the devoted actor ; and not content with verbal | insult, orange peel and apples flew upon the ; stage. He stopped, and turned to the shout ing crowd; |>never saw Such misery in human countetianc ... Hrs fafUi vos worn ?md haggard, and large tears rolled down omni hjs minted checks. I saw his lip? quivering with anua,^ agony-I saw his ho om heave with convul sions of suppressed emotion, and his whole mien betokened such depth of anguish and distress, that the most ruthless heart must have throbbed with pity. The audience was mored ; and by degrees thc clamor of invec tive subsided into a solemn s?euco, while he stood near the footlights, a piel ure ol dejec tion. When all waa calm he spoke, and in a voice broken by sobs ilmt seemed to rend his bosom, pn-cecded to offer his little explana"-* lion : " Ladies and gentlemen," said he, M tho?gh in my acting to njgbf, I am conscious of meriting YDUr displeasure, in one thing you I do me wroig. I am not intoxicated, limo-1 lion alone, and that of the most painful kind, has caused meto fulfil m)' allotted pnrt so badly-my wife died a few BOUTS ago, and I left ["er side lo fulfil my unavoidtible engage ment here. If I have not pleaded yrjn, I im plore yen to forgive. I lovod hw, grieve (br her, and if mi*efy and anguish can excuse a fault, I bear my apology-here]*' Ho placed bis hand upon his benpt,-and stopped, and a'burst ol ears relieved his mo mentary paroxysm of griefc The audience were thoroughly affected] and an honest burst of sympathy made the walls tremble Wo? men wept knidly, and stroug men silently; and duiing the remainder of the evening, his I performance'was scarcely audible, through the stnrni of applause by which the crowd sought to snotlie the poor fellow's wounded feelings. There* wa-? something very melan choly in the thought of that wretched man's coming from Hie bed of deal b to don g^uy attire, and ptter studied witticism for the ninuseitient of a crowd. Not one of them dreamed of the anguish that lay festering under thc painted cheek and the stage smile. And io the great theatre yf life how tuan y arc there around us like that pooy actop, smiling gaily at the multitude, while at hume lirs some mystery of sorrow whose shadow is ever pres ent with them iu busy places, and in solitude revels upon their hearts like a ghoul among th; i too tu bs 1 MARKTET? ix II.tsTn.-pThc Bureau county ItcpuUicarA says, that a few days-ci nee, at a pat ty in that plaoe, a young man jokingly asked a young lady if she would have him, to which she quickly replied, "yes."' He imme diately left t hc house amid the"hugliter of all prescrit, katina remarkable v-rt time re turned, aud said he bad como bach to marry herr. Ho nfc? asked " when/' ana replied j " now," and the ceremony was duly performed by a certain Squire standing by. After thc excitement of tho moment bad subsided, some one suggested that it was a pity the Squire hadn't a license to marry them, as it was too bad to have such a joke spoiled for want of the necessary papers. Tlfereupon the Squire drew from his pocket " the papers," aud soon convinced them that there was no joke about it, but on the other hand a reality. The " bride1' was perfectly nonplussed for a<Jr ?moment, upon learning the' true slate of the ease ; but finally allowed she could stand it, if he coula. At the last accounts, they had shown no signs of repentance for their hasty marriage. Have Compassion for tlic Fallen. Scarcely a day passes but that he who goes upon cbc streets will come in contact with one or more of the abandoned class of fe mah 8, and whenever he does, thc lip is curled, scornfully, a withering glance is bestowed, |. and he passes by, like the Lcvite, on the other f side. It is perhaps, well not to countenance them, not to speak to them, but is it well to frown upon them ? Ab, reader, little do you know of their past history ; little do you reek ot the struggle to maintain a.proper standing in society, which has torn their very natures asunder, and left them but mere wrecks, with but little or no principle to guide them on life's stormy sea. Think you that the gay laugh you sometimes ' b?ar is thc token of a light heart?. If you only knew one-half'the wretchedness that is hid beneath it. your eyes would stream with pity, and instead of frown ing you would lend a helping hand to lift them from their- degradation, and assist to place thou: once more upon a linn foundation. " Let him tfbo has no sin cast the first stone." Were this doctrine followed out, few persons there would be found wbo could hurl the stone of derision oj their first mis-steps, but when the erring one was clingir.g to ITope, and1 s'riving to gain virtue's level, they would ?o? ? continue to pelt them until at last discour aged, forsaken, and God only knows bow miserable, they sink beneath th:- tido of pub lic opinion, and are lost in the madstormof| despair. But so it is alway?. Mankind arc ever ready to condemn sin in ethers, while, per- i ? haps, a mote is in their own eyes which will |j not allow them to look inward and so discov er their own failings. A word, a look, may bc the means of reclaiming more than "ono of | these miserable beings, and why should they bc suffered to go at large without an attempt to reclaim them ? Their influence is perni cious, their associations baneful, and their lives full of wretchedness. They are objects of pity rather than contempt, and "Ai they go through thc long, lung day, Unheeding the sun with its pureing my : Unheeding tbc scorn that their glances greet, In the hard, old ejes ol' II'1 .u-y meet: Uuhcedinr ?li, no! for' j passer-by M iy often ca. _ .,c.i drawn sigh, That pleads like u voice l'or a little pity ?'roiii the narrow houris in tho great wide city.
