ir You ?fcaart* E'er ts-tt Kanrissl. If you should o'er get married, John, I'll tell yon what to do ?o get a little tencmont, J net big enough for two: And one spare room for Company, And one spare bed within it And if you'd begin love's life aright, You'd bettor thus begin it. In futuro be moderate Job?, And lot the stuffed chairs wait: Ono looking-glass will do for both Yourself and loving mate; And Brussels, too, and other things. Which maka a fins appearance. If you caa bettor afford it, they Will better look a year heneo. Some think they mast bare pictures, John, 8upcrb and costly too; Your wife will be a picture, Job?, 1 A-t that suffice for you. Remember how the wise m?*> said, A tant, and love within it, Is better iban a splendid house, With bickerings every minuto. And one word as to cooking, John, Your wife can do that best; For love, to make the biscuit rise, Ia better far than yeast. No matter if each day you don't Bring turkey to your table, Twill better relish by-aud-by, When you ar? better able. For all you buy, pay money, John, Money that very day If von would have your lifo mn smooth. There ia no better way. A note to pay ia an ugly thing. (If thing you choose to cali it,) When it banca o'er a maa who has No money in kia wallet. And now, when you are married, John. Don't try to ape the rich; It took them many a toilsome year, To gain their envied niobe; And if yon gain ibo summit, John, Look well to your beginning, And then will all you win repay Tho caro and toil of winning. THE CHEAT DROUGHT* CHAPTER V. Time passed on, and there was no change in the state of things. Still un unclouded sun; still the deep, in? tense blue sky; -winda on tho earth, but no moisture; and the whole frame of nature seemed crumbling into chaos. Paulett felt the strife with fate to bo unequal indeed, and could scarcely comprehend that he and his family -were truly survivors amid such destruction; but be resolved not to (.'ive in -while the means remained tn him, but to fight the fight out until overpowered by the material uni? verse. He told Ellen that they must move to some place where they might hope to find more diamonds; and El? len agreed, wishing, with Paulett, that the strife were over and the hist agony suffered, and that they- wore among the free and disembodied spirits. London was their object; for there they might hope to find most of the materials of what was now the most precious of all things water; and, providing as well as they coukl for their necessities by the way, they quitted the cavern and sid oft" on their journey. First came the father, carrying the little Alice in his arms; the boy held his mother by the hand, and they followed Paulett iu his path. There was the delicate woman, thc mother of all that remained alive of the human race, setting ont on thc desert, which she remembered but a few years before th? scene of lurnry und abundance. On her shoulder she carried a burthen, containing corn for their sustenance, and the brave boy took his share by bearing the jar of water which had been pro? vided for their support on the jour? ney; and thus the last family of man? kind set out on their pilgrimage over the desolated earth. The unmitigated sun had made great rents in the sides of the hill?, and, together with the wind, had broken up the roads be? tween which and the parched fields there wassearcely now any difference. Where there had been enclosures and hedges, the withered sticks had, in most places, yielded to the winds, and were scattered about the spot where they had stood. Here and there were the marka of fire, which had run along the country till some interval of the previous desolation liad stopped it; and where this had been the case, the black, unsightly romains lay strewn over the surface one further step advanced in dissoln tion than the dead world around. There was no want of habitations for their nightly shelter. Palaces and cottages, all alike, were open; all alike, were silent and tenantlesa ha? bitations. They might choose where they would. And the first day they | did not go far, for Ellen and her chil dren, with .-.tout hearts, had not bodily strength for great fatigue, and were untued to the strong exertion they were now compelled to make. Towards evening, therefore, when 'hey reached a house, with which Paulett and Ellen had once been fa? miliar, they determined to rest there for thc night. They pushed open tho gates, which still swung on their binges, and which admitted them to what had been a park, filled once with treesand bathed with waters. A Luge wood covered the hill which rose on ono side, and which now, under a summer sun, stood perfectly bare, and all of one uniform gray color as far as thc view extended. On thc other side, tho eye looked over a tract of country varied with bill and dale, brit desolate of every color that used to shine forth in light and shade. The setting sun shone among the leafless branches, casting long brilliant rays of light. Tho un? clouded sky met the sparkling earth, and both glittered with unnatural brilliancy. To Panlett and Ellen everything spoke of desolation and death; and an exclamation escaped Eilen, in a low tone, thai it was a i.?- ll ?! maim piteous and horrible spectacle. But Charles, rtandiag still ai their side M they looked on the scene, cried it ?ma l> Piwitt fol-th? colors of the so? vero so splendid on the fine white tree*, and one could seo so for, and everything ?fes so white and shining on the earth. The parents felt that ideas wera manning to be in common between the last and the first mem? bers of the old and the new genera? tion ; sad far from contradicting their boy, they tried to partake his plea? sure, and enter into hts impressions. They mored on np to the old familiar door, and entered thc open, silent hall, where they remembered the ce? remonies and the courtesies of life. They chose among the rooms, which had been those of friends, and recog? nised familiar objects of their every day existence. It was a conceit of Panlett's for which he smiled nt him? self, to wind np the dook in the hall, and set it, to toll ont the time again for another week. There were musical instruments in a room adjoining, aud over one of these Ellen timidly passed her fingers. It was out of out of tune, and the sounds, though sweet in themselves, all jarred with one another. "That's tho last music of the world, perhaps," said Ellen, "and all dis? cord, too." They found some small store of corn in one of the rooms; they pre? pared and ate it, and lay down to sleep, forgetting in fatigue all their dismal feelings, and in their dreams seeing the old state of things and dead persons-nay, a dead world without wondering that they were to come to life again. All the days of their journey wore an uniform cha? racter, and they kept on and on through waste and ruin, glad to leave the country behind them, aud ex? pecting aa some relief the aspect ol streets and a town. They halted, at length, within a few miles of London, and lay down to rest, thankful to bo so near their home; for they had suf I fered as much fatigue as they could well bear, and their stock of dia j monds was waxing very low, and ! needed replenishment. Paulott con ! tinned busy preparing water from those that remained, after his wife and children were asleep. His own I frame scarcely felt the exertion of thc journey, and he was full of thc thoughts with which thc approaching sight of what had been once th? great metropolis filled him. Tlu vast untenanted dwelling place, tlu solitude of tho habitation of crowds, the absence of mind and talent fron the scene they had so filled-all thes? things excited his feelings, and gain ing ground in the solitude of tin night, he felt at last that ho could no' J willingly delny his first meeting wi tl i the bereaved city, and that he shoulc ? be pleased to have au opportunity o I indulging ?done the highly-wrough emotion with which he expected tin sight of it Aecordiugly, when th? light began to break, he wrote won to Ellen that she should wait for hin a few hours, and that he wonld hi back in that lime to lead her and tin children to their journey's end; am then, softly leaving the house, se forward eagerly on his way. It was evening before he returned He came in pale and excited, ho tool his children in his arras as usual, an? seemed like one upon whom a thin; he has seen has made a deep impres sion, but who either doubts the }>owe of words to convey tho same impres sion, or thinks Unit he himself i over-excited by it. "Ellen," he said at last, "JLondoi is burned to thc ground." The sudden flush on her faee, an her clasped hands while she spok not, showed tliat tho event touchei her, too, as deeply as him; and the he went on freely: "Oh, Ellen, if you had seen it! 1 stands there nil m ruins -the who] city in ruins! It has been the wor of some great storm, which fired when all were g< >ne or dead ; for thei has been no pulling down, no pillage no aid, no attempt to stop the rir< All the palaces, all the museums, a the stores of learning and art, th streets, the crowded houses; they ai gone, Ellen-they aro all gone!" J His wife had never before, in a their misery, seen him so deepl moved-so nearly overpowered 1 anything that had occurred. His c citement com munica ted itself to he and she caught the full bearing of h narration. She felt for tho long agi of story, and thc monuments of hi man skill, buried in the great cit; Irretrievable ruin! The work whi< men and years and growing knoi ledge had slowly raised up, all doa ! all annihilated so suddenly. Tin j sat talking of it very long bofo Ellen said : "And wind must ire do now. Pa j lett?" "We must go on, Ellen; we mu j travel further. The rest we hopi I for is destroyed with tho city, and > must press forward if we are to sa our lives." "That seems loss and less pox j hie," said Ellen; "aud in all this (I I strnetion, why should we lie ju served?" "Perhaps because we have, as vi avoided the stroke by using ?di o human skill; perhaps because a m race is to spring from us, who sh reign in another mighty Londi Alas, London: alas, tho great city !' Several times during tho nig] Ellen heard Panlett murmur to hi self words of lament over the fall city; and when he slept, his rest v agitated, and his frame seemed tie hiing under the emotions of the di j It was resolved that Ellen ?hoi i rest ? little while in their present ha? bitation before undertaking the toils of further travel. They intended to make for the coast, sore of * dry channel to th? opposite shore, ana hoping to reach some of the groat continental towns before their store of diamonds should be utterly ex? hausted. In the meantime, Paulett was bent upon taking bis boy through the ruins of Condon and impressing noon him the memory of the place and its great events. Bo, the next day, leaving Ellen and the little Alice together, he and Charles began their pilgrimage through the mighty rains. The event mast have occurred very many months ago, for the ruins were perfectly cold and the winds had toppled down the walls of all the more fragile buildings, so that the streets lay iu confusion over one another, and it was impossible, ex? cept by other marka, to recognize the localities. Paulett and Charles clam? bered over the fallen walls, and would have been bewildered among tho heaps of masonry and houses shaken from their baso and blackened by fire, only that over tho desolate prospect they saw, and Paulett marked the bearing of St. Paul's, the chief part of whose dome rose high in the air, though a huge rent let the daylight through it, and threatened a speedy fall. There was here and there a spire rising perfeet over the ruins; there were remains of Whitehall, strong though blackened, seen over a long view of prostrate streets; and in the distance beyond, fragments of Westminster Abbey showed them? selves in the sunlight, though de? faced aud crumbled as if the frauic had been too ancient to resist the fire. Ouided by these land-marks, Paule ti traced out the plnu of tho city, and by degrees recognized where thc great streets bad run,- where tho pa? laces had stood, where the river had flowed-and all was silent, all au ab sedate stillness, where there had beer such ceaseless voiees and sounds ol life. The libraries were burned, th? statues calcined, the museums ii ashes; the mimi of man, which tri umphs the body, bad here been sub dued by matter, and left no trace o itself. "Oh! London, London! So mud talent, KO much glory and beauty such mighty hearts, such mighty work.-*, such ages of story-all buriet in one black mass! Piteous specta eic!" cried Paulett, striking his breas and stretching forth his arms ove the skeleton of what was once a so ve reign iu the world. He took his sou by the hand au? led bim over the confused masses telling him, as they went along, wha were the ruins by which they passed "This great heap of building which has f?llen into the square mus be the palace of our kings. It is thu St. James', where they dwelt till ur bier buildings rose with the improviu times. Soe here. Charles, there i less ruin here. This open space wo park and garden; and time has bee that I have heard the buzz of rn?1 filling all thia place, when the SOY? reigus came to hold their courts i that building. I think that this dreac ful fire must have taken place befoi life was quite cxtiuct; for, soo, thei are heaps of stones here, as thong met? bad fled together to avoid it; an it either overtook them with lou tongues of fire, such as a burning cit would send forth, or smothered then before they could escape, with i smoke. Ha! I see almost a pala< there-a wonder of modern art. is the house I once saw, and on! once, for it was built during the yea of the great drought." "Who could build in those day father?" said Charles. "I thought 1 ono bad any heart for doing mo than we do, aud that is but just kee ing ourselves alive." "Nay, it was very long boure tl persuasion came that those were tl last days. We all believed that ra would come again and restore tl earth to its old order, and whoev possessed the means, budded and pr jected still. Aon m:iy see this ma nificent place suffered violence befo the fire, for its ornaments are to from the walls, and its statues mu lated by other means than the ba fall.
