"Full many a utolo eye, and aspect stern, Mask hearts, whore grief has little loft, to learn; And many a withering thought lies hid,?not lost, In smiles that least befit, who wear them most." These words come vividly to the mind, wheu oue sees, aud knows Horace Darker. The lines about the mouth, denote sorrow, the con stant attitude of reflection, shows Pertubation; and while his flue eye is occasionally, lit with vivacity or otnotion, the habitual expression of his handsome fnci, is abstraction or caro. A umu of wealth, he lives at Louisville?that miniature western world, where talent and af fiuoncc have the highest social value, aud where Mr. Barker could demand any public 1 office. A pretty and pleasant little woman sits at home, ready to bo entertained, or to talk, just as circumstances direct': yet she,- too, has a -wub<iuo*Hoc*v" You do not Wonder ; fur &y ?i- j pat by?that spoken sunshine,?is it not resist less '} She is his . other self; and the cord of unit}', which binds us soul to sol, is reflect ed from her pole-star, to her holiest nature. .She feels,?V'thy joy,?thy sorrow,?thy hope, ?thy prayer is mine." * * * * * "How oft tho laughing brow of joy, ?. , A sickening heart concents." Their home, has boon several times gladden ed l>y tho voice of helpless infancy ; yet as often have they mourned their early dead, feeling the while, that a parent's tie was only torturous, since, so often, death seemed en vious of their parental blessings. Ono little boy of four months had been left to their fos tering care; aud in the guileless joy of. his hazel eyes, the mother gleaned hope and con tent. "But why call him Mariou, husband? You have so many actual friends, who would like to name the child. It is so effeminate ; I wish you wore less determined." He left tho room but still the mother pondered. "Will I uever win his confidence ??Are all men thus con stantly abstracted, and immersed in business ? He is not mercenary, why should that dull re serve thuj daily veil his thoughts and interests from his faithful wife? Yet, ask him, I will never I His devoted attachment and his ar dent propositions won me from my widowed father; yot before a year has passed, this moody Borrow seemed to hover over my once fond husband; and now?each act of kindness, ?'tis a duty. I see?I know it. Still lie loves me some,?and I ought to he happy. Our sweetost songs are those that "tell of saddest thoughts;" Iu future days he'll live to learn, proud hearts can love tho strongest." "All tho world's a stage, And all the men aud women merely players." Six years ago, Horace Barker lived near' Princeton. iMfrfflfcthcr's positien and wealth secured to lfnj 8f10 advantages of education and society. went to Yale; aud, after several sessions of unwearied application, he returned with overy token of successful schol arship. It oven marked b^Bhanncr.s, for he waflg&nMiiuo and demonswSfvo in a social cirJB H, "nolens vbkn," soon found hini seltQ Hp, alias, a martyr to the tender pas sion?dove. Marian Holcumbo was the daughter of a gifted man. Ho had been long ou foreign umbassago, and his '?little fairy"?as he term ed tho singing ehild,?was over with its mo ther. Yet just as tho littlo creature reached her teens, Mrs. H. died suddonly of pneumo nia; and sho was left with hor grandmamma, ?to weep?and tcni7-*-and watch tor papa. He did return, gave up his appointment, aud cherished the dear little woman, solo reminder of his beloved spouse. Mouths fled, and as Maridnr tusturid into womanhood, the young lady with unaffected frankness-, aud confiding manuc, seemed fitted only for the atmosphere of a living home, and kindred hearts.' ?'Led .by simplicity divine, t '"? "??e pleased, yet never tHod to shine.1'' ? "Like the bright bark sprung; from tho glit tering dew, -Ail-angel,?yst, a Vory woman too." ; And Horace loved Marian forvontly. IJe thought her presence bo' essential to his fu ture happiness, that all probation, or labor would fiud indemnity, when sho finally be came his bride. Nor did Mr. H. disapprove. The manly earnest tone of one, whom he had known limn boyhood, won from the foud fa ther a promise, that, until Horace was able to support a wife, Marian might wait for him. Louisvillo seemed the El Dorado, then ; and, hoping to fiud there the open sesame to wanted competence, he left Priucctown. , "Parting is pain"?so says thfi song: and so added our hero, while he lingered at twilight, near the loving girl, to whom his earliest vows were given,?for whom ho admitted unrivalled offection. "Tho hope of return takes the sting from adeu,"?so said Marian in her quiet way, and "Horace, I will watch for yon." He, meanwhile, vehemeut by nature, declared that only a cruel fate awarded him tho present disability : he raved at his own assurance in venturiug to wiu such a pcorless woman;?but ho would couquer; he would trample each obstacle, and come back to her iu two years, a richer aud a readier suitor. "So I'll dream on, over foudly, Happy dreams of hope and love; . For 1 know we'll meet, my darling, In this world, or that above." The sccues are changed. A year subsc- j quently, Mr. Holcombe, yet in the prime of1 lifo, visits Raleigh ; and by letters of intro duction, finds among his acquaintances, an at tractive and accomplished lady, the daughter of a clergyman, whom ho decides, if possible, to marry. Thereon he writes to Marian,? tells his child of all the hopes ho cherishes, all the plans he forms ! He reminds hor too, of her need of a mother-friend, whom she. would ever find, in so admirable a woman. lie asks her affection for his intended wife, assuring hev that tho happiness of his child has had its influence, in this second alliance. Her letter in reply, indicated perfect compliance with his wishes : but there was a tone of reserve, so un . . . I usual iu his confiding daughter, that he was unable to solve the cause. After his marriage, Mrs. II. who was a woman of considerable penetration, was told of Marian's previous inclination^ and manner. She confidently affirmed that her generous love and attention would soon overcome the jeal ousy of the child; sho knew that love like hers would conquer. It was J uly, when the summer calms sug gested, that a cooler spot was elsewhere 'ueatli the sky ; and Mr. H. aud his southern wile repaired to their future, home at Princeton. On their arrival, Marian met them with affec tionate courtesy; and the uew mother, with singular tact and kindness, soon ontered into the anticipations and iuterests of the daughter, who told of her engagement, aud spoko with loving trust of hor far off Horace. A few months ngo a letter had come, begging her to be ready for their nuptials in the fall; and with woman's usual pride, the busy finger* fashioned her a full and handsome wardrobe. Naught, is needed now, to satisfy the most punctilious oye, save pretty goods of gossamer hue. that some will seo but once,?the bridal robe. And mother Ellon fixed and fashioned many a tasty notion, for her now-formed friend. Several moons have waxed and waned, since Horace wrote, "I am having a pleasant time here; but will come for you, if possible, in the fall. Be ready iu September." 'Tis strange how wearily time goes by, when Hope grows faint with waiting. The guest-room, weeks ago. was trimmed; the flowers are fixed and fresh ened. Tho lovely robes and bright adorn meuts of an only child are all prepared, und every garment marked indelibly. "Let no one fuudly dream again That hope with all her shadowy train Will not decay; Fleeting as were the dreams of old Remembered like a talc '.hat's told, They pusa ftW&y." And month-*, I said, havo passed sin^o Ho race Wroto; aud now tlw voico of "busy gos sips" speculate. Yes : one "thought It would be'so," Auother "feared ho had never in touded to fjnie." Evil is dono by Wunt of thought, ua well as want of feoliug, of heart. All,?nnd more,?roached Marian's oars, caus ing hor to suspect the truth. A papor from Kentucky, came mysteriously to hand. It an nounced the marriago of Horace Barker with Sue LipM>onib. "If hopo hut deferred causeth sickness of heart, What sorrow to soe it forever depart!" Shall I carry you to Mariau's chamber, whero the mute walls alone bore witness to her lVcnzy t Iiove,? trust,? pride,?hope.?all writhing in the anguish of the vanquished. Shall I toll you of her still strong lovo, "Unekabgeable, unchanged, Felt for but one, from whom it never ranged.."; Home 1 hearts1 offered kindred : sympathy.' Thby'too, slicerly from pique, could weep, because she grieved. "Bcnold 1' wo live through air things,?famine, . j&ithirst, ; 11 Bereavraent, pain; all grief and misery; AH'Woe and sorrow; lifo Inflicts-its worst On soul and body:?hut we cannot die, Though,we bo sick and tired and faint and wornc: Lol all things cam be borne." A week elapsed; and Marian hud not left her room. Several times, when grief's wild waves were dashing o'er her heart, she hud refuEcd all friends. Not even father's voice was heard amidstthis wilder storm. But, suddenly, a calm and gentle tone was woa. assumed. * Maria tr came * Out, &nd' dined \vit}i thfefaniily. Her father kissod her brow, audj thanked her for her fortitude and heroism. HoMrow her to his heart, and said : "Child, for .thy loved mother 'a sake, look up and again bo glad." The eveuiug came, when, equipped for a walk," she bade good bye j but soon returned to tea, and retired early. They bade her rest well, and try to be with them at the breakfast hour. She sinilod faiutly,?returned, and kissed them, each '.! Man's love is of man's life a thing apart; Mfi?i woman's whole existence;" '"Alas the love of woman,?it is known ? To be a lovely aud a fearful thing!" The morning bell raug vainly; she came not at its call. "She sleeps," said Mrs. II. ?'1^11 wake her.". The door was barred; uor kuofck, uor voice provoked a souud. The lock w .nr. forced; and, pale aud frosted o'er by Death, lay that lone, lovely girl. The light of life dissevered, Death, the reliever of our mortal throes, had snapped that thread, and left'her blighted spirit at the Eternal gateway, pleading for some mercyJrom her God. : nfc.

The druggist affirmed, that a lady had asked for*an eraser of indelible ink. He had s')ld her '?oxalic acid." and marked it, ' Poison." She,?the woman scorned,?had not courage to hear the bitter pang, and to meet the added scoffs oi a censorious world. Conic, Charity, aud draw thy loving mantle o'er the deed. God knows, she suffered : aud may the blood of a puro Savior atone for all her errors. We love her memory yet; and hope she is for given." Still Horace Barker lives; but is there any joy for one, whose bosom is the seat of grim Remorse ? Ask your owu heart, with all its bidden faults,?Shall we award that sad man hate, or pity ??Oh ! memory, blessing or curse of the soul, bliss or bane of our existence. "For him doe9 life's dull deserbhold No fountain shade,?no date grove fair,? No gush of waters clear and cold ;? But sandy reaches wide and bare. The foot may full, the soul may faint. And weigh to earth the weary frame. Yet still t/r make no weak complaint. And speak no word of grief or blamo." "There is a grief the hcurt must bear: Nor eye. nor pen. nor friend mny sympathize, Iis homo is in the soul." VARIOUS.

We are always looking into the future, but we sec only the past. The courage with which we have met past dangers is often our best security iu the present. Real sorrow is almost ob difficult to discover as real poverty. An instinctive delicacy hides the rays of tho uue and the wounds of tho other. lie who has never deuicd himself for the sake of giving has but glanced at the joys of | charity. We owe our superfluity, and to be happy in tho performance of our duty wc must exceed it. Let us ever exceed our appointed duties, and keep within our lawful pleasures.

"Ah, but my dear aunt," rotorted the young lady, "you see the world has improved, and is more civilized than it used to bo. It looks more to the understanding."
