Tho fairest flower, a garden yields
Hie huds which well adorn our fields,
Boast not the beauteous tint*, which deck
Thy cheeks, Miss Fannie.
In^^t it is a lovely nntno,

To equal thine, Miss Fannie.
I wonder who first had that name?
Raphael in all his palmiest days,
Thoagh aided by great Vidns' lays,
Ne'er on his canvass threw, a form
Liko thine, Miss Fannie.
Really there's music in the name?
' V J'vo often read of Eastern dames,
From fancy drawn, or seen in dreams.
But none e'er had a brow to match

A STORY FOR THOSE NOT "WIDE-AWAKE"
BT JANE EYRE.
''By one judge all?
But of the dead apeak only good."
* "A girl lost!"?so said tlic morning paper
?"a girl lost, aged eighteen ; tall, slim, and
good looking?blue eyed, and with brown
curling hair, dro., &c.
WelL the notice was read by hundreds?
perhaps thousands?and then the paper was
ckftt aside, aud with the lost girl forgotten.
At the corner of Street, near St.
J 's Park, a little after dark one autumn
eve, walked up and down, with rather an
impatient step, a tall and handsome gentleman.
Oentlemin, I say, for such we must
call every man, until we have proved him
other.
The evoving was somewhat chilly, and the
stranger had thrown over his shoulders a
short Spanish clonk, which his folded aims
now clasped tightly in his breast, as he muttered
between bis closed teeth :?(elegant
white teeth they wore.) "This foolinghnust
come to an end ; I cannot be dancing attendance
to <|er whims much louger. Borne
one will discover our meetings next, and then
there will be a fine muss, and I lose my
prise before I have fairly gained it. Where
can ahe lie now f?she promised t<> be h^rc,
or at the gate by scycn o'clock, and it is now
twenty minutes after. Ah, here she comes,
my charmer 1" and with quick steps he hurHw
a young girl, wjio caine timidly
toward him from tho opposito corner.
"You are late, dear Lena," said ho, as he
drew her hand through his arm. "I feared
something had taken place to keep you astray
from me altogether, and this is always
my fear, if you are not with rac at tho precise
moment appointed.
"I came very near being prevented from
leaving home this eve, for father is quite
nnwell, and does not go out again to-night,
pad he wanted m? to road t<> |,jm rill illis
evening, atfd then was no one else to do it.
I hated to iayPho,' to my dear father, but I
could not disappoint you if it were possible
t?%e!? it, aft I told him 1 had something
very important, which 1 had promised to nttead-Uv
this evening, and if ho could spare
ine, i snouio nave 10 g > out lor an nour or
two."
"HAh, my sly one'.-?but lie did not ask
yon what that very important business was ?"
"Ye*, eir, lie did ; but I told him 1 could
not tell any one about itiust now, as it was.
to bdltiM A great secret ttfl it was ready to l>?k
told, lie only laughed and told me to givo

I feel end to be unable to ten my dear father
. and mother anything about ou;
ffr . * ' Jr m
^
' Doubtless, my dear child, but you must]
reflect that I am the best judge abou> what
is prudent in our co.sc. 1 know your father '
well, and although ho is a noble gentleman,;
and no enemy to mo personally, as you arc at
full liberty to asccrtian by questioning him,
(only bo careful not to let fall a word that
can show your knowlogo. of tne,) yet he is j
such a mortal enemy to the Catholic religion,1
that I am convinced he would prefer to see
you lying dead at his feet rather than to
have you become the wife of a Calbolio?
even tny wife, Lena."

Lena, with eyes full of tears and sorrow.
Hr. Uuutcr drew a key from his pocket,
and unlocking tlio park gate, led his companion
in and relocked the gate before he
answered her question. ^
lie then turned, with Lena, down the
deepest shadowed path, and said?
"I will tell you soon little one?but first
cotne with mo into our arbor, .and* favor me
in the same sweot manner that you did your
father just before you left him. I cannot
talk to you furthor till you have reassured
of your love, by at least one freely given
kiss."
They wcro in a secluded arbor; Hunter
stood at her side and bowed gracefully toward
the young girl.
llis words?as such words from him always
did?sent a thrill of half fl ighted joy
to her innocent heart. She knew 6hc was
blushing scarlet, but he could not see that,
for the darkness covered it?ah, the darkness
!?it covers many things?but "There
is nothing Covered that shall not be revealed,
nor hid that shall not he known."
Lena's lips were pressed lightly upon
Hunter's cheok?her touch was like the
stroke of :i magic wand upon him, and he
caught hor instantly and forciby to his heart.
Ilis lips limited not their kisses to cheek,
or white brow. The warm red lips which
had yielded timidly indeed, but not unwillingly,
to his desire, were largely repaid for
their gentle grace.
ivisses arc curious things. Who is there
that cannot testify to that ?
"Lena," said Dr. Hunter, as lie sat with
hor folded in his thick cloak, "do you know
that this is'the last time I can meet you so ?
The leaves are all falling from theso trees,
and our place of refuge will soon be exposed
to public view, I cannot go to your house.
I think too much of your dignity, and my
own, to ask you meet meat other houses,
or about in different places any more. Now,
little girl, stop this sighing if you please and
listen well to what Tarn going to say to you.
You are bound to mo by all vows of love,
as I am to you?should you not then, give
me a husband's right to claim you?to take
you to my homo without shame or fear?
Your parents will never give their consent;
but when wo nrc one flesh without it, they
must needs forgive us, or, at I east they will
soon do so, when they see we arc happy in
oach other, as we shall be, shall wo not, my
own? You can satisfy yourself that your
father thinks only well of my character, and
of me every way, except my religion?that
is the rock upon which our happiness will
certainly be wrecked, if you refuse to hear
me; and then if at the end of three days,
you decide for me, send a note through the
post-office, and I will meet you wherever you
may name, and take you to my sister's, in
Albany, where wo will bo married; and
then nil these anxieties and dangers will
bo at an end, and 1 shall have my darling
with inc night and day."
A few more words?a flood of perplexed
tears?another long encouraging embrace,
and Dr. Iluntcr led poor Lena out of the
park, and left her near the house of her parents.

"Fathor," said Helena Carlisle, as he rose
from the dinner-table one day, "father, what
do you think of Dr. Hunter as a man and a
gentleman ? 1 heard you tell ine tho other
day that you could never feel reconciled to
the idea that he was a Catholic."
"What put him in your wise little head
just now, my child if" said tho kind hearted
parent, and then, without observing the
deepening color upon his child's rosy-checks,
lie added, earnestly, if from the depths of
his heart?"Dr. Hunter is otto of nature's
noblemen. In character, principles, and dis{>osition,
he is all that man should he , lrow
te has been able to live thirty-fivo years a
Roman Catholic, is a perfect paradox to mo."
"Thirty-live years old !" exclaimed Helena
"Dr. Hunter cannot be thirtv five years
o!4!"
I should like to know how you know how
old ho can be. Miss Lena?whore did you
over sec him /" said her father, laughing at
l\cr apparently horitied surprise.
"Oh, I was introduced to him not Ions:
ago, and I thought he was very handsome,
but not very
"Very old! thirty-five! Oil, theic children?what
a net thc^' arc!" and Lena'*
father winked at his ivifo, and shook his
head at his daughter, aud hurried down
stairs and down town.

The night boi^g|as about starling from
her pier, when ft Wan iage drove hurriedly
down, and a gentleman leading out handed
a clot.ely vieled hudr across tfie plank to the
steametijfr crowded deck. Mriof lime pausedhe
to oCC fhc trunk , A/C., and then he led the '
is
Ijuly to her stale room. When the door had
closed upon them, and the shawls and bonnet
were laid aside, tli<*pal<vhut s\vcet and interesting
face of Helena Carlisle Was reveal
cd. She turned to her companion, who
stood leaning Against the door, and silently!
watching her movements saying?"There,
are two births in here, and hero are some,
person's things, I'm sorry that any one is to '
bo with me hero to-night?I feel so strange- j
ly?1 had rather bo alone."
"It can't be helped, Lena. There were '
onlv two vacant state rooms ami I lia.l n..
choice. I will leave your to yourself awhile '
now, and when the bell rings for supper I will;
come for you. See, iho boat moves, wo are '
off, my darling, and uouo can trouble us
now.''
"Oh. dear mo! what will my father and!
mother say ? I wish you had allowed me 1
to leave a note to tell theflTnot to be worried
I'm afraid they'll bo frightened to death,"
"Oh, no danger of that in so short a time,
you may mail your note to morrow morning,
and they'll get it as soon as needful, so
don't bo unhappy about them, Lena. I've
left word, in your name, that you went homo
with a friend from school, and would be safe.
Won't that make all easy ?"
"Yes, it will do, for I often do go homo
with Mary Hrown, and it is not a lie either
for are not you my friend, and am I not going
from school; home with you ? Oh your
way was best, after all."
"1 thought you'd say so. Now be ready
when I call to take you to supper."
As Hunter opened the poor of the stateroom,
Lena saw that which she had not before
observed, that they were close to the
machinery.
She called Hunter back. 'What an awful
noise that machinery docs make, and I'm
afraid to be so near the boilers. Wo may
blow up," said she.
"Oh, no fear of that," laughed Hunter
'don't bo nervous, pusv," and ho stroked her,
cheek, as ho spoke, while a strange, dragonlikc
exptcssion, darted like forked tongues
from his eyes.
lie went out, closing tho door with a
chuckle. Poor Lena!
After supper ho left her again in her room,
but she noticed, and she thought strange ot
it that he locked the door when ho went
away.
''What if tho other occupant of this stateroom
should want to come in while ho is
gone," thought she.
Put no one came. In an hour Hunter returned.
"No ono is coming here; this room is all
for yourself," said he.
"Put whoso things are these!" asked Lena.
"Oh, never mind things; come and sit a
while with mo, mv little wife. 1 am going
to stay here a while with your for there is
no one outside that I care about, and I am
not sleepy yet."
"Put if any ono should know you were in
here, what would thev say ?"
"No one does, or can know. No one saw
mo enter, and our voices, even aloud scream,
cannot be heard amid the din of the machinery
outside. We are very safe. Lena niino
?mine, my own. Do you love very much,
my little wife 1"
"Oh, I do indeed, sir," said the trusting
and most imprudent child. "How can you
ask mo that, when you know that 1 have
left all for your sake, and when I am with
you here all alone ? Ah, sir, 1 begin to he
afraid of what 1 have done; L think I >huulj
not boon so hasty. Was it well for me to
come with you?is it well for mc to have
you hero f"
"Lena, you have indeed placed yourself
wholly in my power, but do not be afraid of
me, fur I will never prove ungrateful, you
arc as much mine now, in the sight of Iloav-1
en, as if the Messing* of iho church had uni
ted us, therefore you have no cause to fear.
Lena, 1 am too happy to hold you thus securely,
and with no four of interruption; 1
shall not not leave you, my own dear little
trembler, ail (hit whole long night."
The poor girl besought him to leave lior
state-room?her words worn all in vain, llo
threw otl'tho heavy traveling dress which be
wore, and when lie had almost made her
, believe that it was altogether for her own
comfort he did so, and that it was no harm
at all for him to stay beside her all night,if j
ho was so disposed, ho arose, and -with his
arms around her, walked under the.gas light,
burning over the mirror, and made#hcr look
upon the pair reflected in the clear glass.
Tito excitement and terror of the moment
before had given a new, and almost startling
brightness to her eyes. They looked larger
and deeper than ever Irelbre, and Hunter reveled
in the beauty, lie saw also how the
color on her cheeks had increased, that the
love which his caresses and soothing words
had to it* overflowing height, was lending a
soft and dreaming loveliness to her expressions,
notwithstanding her doubts and fears.
ller heart was throbbing so wildly that
he could see her bosom vise and fall, with every
beat. Hunter stood gazing with a
charmed, bewildering smile, in the eyes bf '
the beautiful girl, and as Lena, no longer
able to endure the ouehaiiting gaze, turned
and hid her blushing face in her lover'* bosom,
he bout toward the light, and put ill
out.' ' '
Lm. > - li
The scicams ami cries ami prayers that
were heard in that small sttate-room, were
heard no where else, unless they reached to
Heaven.
lint, before morning dawned, Lena, learned
from the lips of the tiend who had destroyed
|ier, that ho was not Dr. Hunter, hut
1 >r. 1 luntor's lather-coulessor, a Human
Catholic Priest.
"I pretended lobe Hunter, for the purpose
of gaining vour good opinion, Lena," said
Itenshaw, the priest. "I loved you from the
first moment I saw you, ami I vowed that
you should become mine. I am forbidden
to marry, but .not to love, and now that you
know all the truth,you will not hope that I
will not atone the harm I havo done l>y inaking
you my wife?that drenm must he forgotten,
but if you can love mo still, you
shall have no reason to regret it, for I
will never cast you from me never. You are
dear to me. .Lena, as the breath of life, for
all you think-me so brutal?and I will do
all I can to* vendor you happy. Would 1
could do more, poor Lena; do not cry so
bitterly. I am sorry to have nfficted you
so, but it can't be helped now. Can you not
forgivo mo? Will you not answer mc one
word Lena 1 Will you never speak to mo
again ?"
' Lost, lost!" groaned the miserable girl.
"Oh my father, my mother, you can see vour
ruined child no more."
"Why will you tortureyoursolf to no purpose,
Lena ? Do try and recover your sclfconwnand.
You shall go homo with me,
and it may bo that you can return undiscov
erect to 3'otir parents if you cannot be happy
with inc."
"Where do you live?"said Helena, suddenly.
"What is your name since it is uot
Hunter ?"
"My name is Lawrenco Ilenshaw, and 1
live in tho city from whence we came."
"Then take uie back with yon, to-morrow
?1 will go to your home, for the doors of
my father's house 1 will never enter again
?never shall the threshold of my childhood
be dishonored by iny footsteps. Take me
to your homo."
"I will, Helena; and may I never find
mercy, if I do n?>t try to make vou happy.
Whether the holy father would have been
as good as his word, time never proved. For
the second day after his return to the priestly
mansion with his poor victim, she was not
to bo found. After a protracted search,
Renshaw at length gave up tho idea of ever
again seeing her and tried to banish her
image from his mind, by seeking a new victim.
* * * * * *
Upon the rocks in a little cove, sonic fishermen
wcro seated mending their nets.
They wore talking merrily, in their rough
wav, of things interesting to tlieni.
"Here are the hooks 1 brought from town,"
said one brown-checked fellow to another. i.>
be passed a paper package to him.
He to whom the hooks were handed,
opened the paper which held them, and after
careful examination, pronounced them
good. Them lie began carelessly to read
aloud from the torn paper?
"A girl lost?aged 18. Tall slim and
good-looking." Jlear now, will you. boys
somebody feels bad about that girl, I'll bet
?I'm glad it ain't my darter that's lost in
that great citv.
"Father, father !"' screamed a white-headed
bov, rushing round a rocky point and
toward the group of fishermen. "Oh, father,
do come here, there's a drowned woman on
the rocks, out Miind the point."
No other call was needed?dl hurried to
the spot to which the child led on.
There slept .poor Lena, whito and still.
The sea-weed was clinging closely round her,
anu was mixed with her long tangled hair.
Tlio curls of that brown hair wore creeping
about the stones and rocks on which she lay,
and her white dress was all torn and soiled
by the damp and heavy sand. 1'oor child !
tin miseries of earth could trouble her no
more. She was bevond tlio reach of the
destroyer; or the tempter now. Wo will

her sad story., to her parents, and bid tliein
nn eternal farewell, ilor body was reclaimed
by hor father, and harried by the side of
her mother, who died almost instantly upon
learning tho fate of hor child.
The .sloop of death is tho only sloop which
can refresh the broken-hearted. As for tho
priest?he lives, and moves, and has his being
yet in this word, and I know not that
hi* sleep is loss sound, or his heart more
troubled ih.in beforo Helena Carlisle crossed
his path ; but this I do know, that tho guilt,
of a three fold murder is upon him, and its
cursowill follow him, until at last he meets

Many years ago, in a revival r.f religion,
a little 1 xi_v seven years <?f age became a snli- j
joot of the work, lie had a sister much ol
dor, who obstinately VesisVed all the means]
of salvation. Though accustomed from her |
childhood to attend divine service, she would '
not now he persuaded to heay a sermon or
ho present at any religions meeting. With
a settled determination not to be conversed
.1 i ! . .? 1 __i: - - i i
"iiiiuii i ins suiycct ui personal ri'ii^inii, sue
shunned, so far as possible, all rcligons society.
If she saw the pastor of the congrega J
tion approaching the house, she would scud j
out another way, "repair to the barn or hie
to a neighbor's, and there remain until she j
was satisfied that the minister had taken
leave.
One Lord'* day, during the morning scr-j
vice, the little brother's heart was intensely i
fired with the love of Christ. In tho joccss
of worship, he hastened homo, and entered
the house before any other member of the
family. Seeing his- sister in a listless atti- j
tude, he immediately approached her, and!
clasping hor hands in his, exclaimed, t4< >li,
dear Julia, why will you go to hell 1" This j
was the arrow which was to do execution.?
It was made sharp in the heart of the King's
enemy.
In the afternoon Julia was at church,smit- i
ten and writhing with deep conviction. Her
distress continued for a season; when hi.s[
proud spirit yielded, and she "humbled her-1
self as a little child." At a proper lime she'
entered into a covenant with (5od and bis'
church; and in the same pew, those hands,1
which had boon clasped as above described,,
passed to each other the emblems of a Savior's
death. Whs not the address of that '
little convert "a word fitly spoken ?"

No fact in history is more interesting than
tho invention of the printing press bv Outten
berg. It is ascribed indirectly to the influence
of religion, as is thus set forth :
'Guttenberg traveled alone, on foot, carrying
a knapsack containing books and clothes, i
like a mere student visiting the schools, or n
journeyman looking for a master. lie thus
went through the Konish province.*. Italy,
Switzerland, Germany, and lastly, Holland,
not without an object, like a man who lets
his imagination wander at the caprice of his
footsteps, bdt carrying everywhere with him a
fixed idea, an unchanging will led by a pre
sentimont. This guiding star was the
thought of spreading tho Word of God and
the Bible among a vast number of souls.
'Thus it was religion which, in this young
: wandering apostle, was seeking the soil ;
j wherein to sow a single seed, of which the !
i fruit hereafter was to he a thousand various ,
| grains. It is the glory o'.'pr'n ieg that it was
! given to the world by religion not by industry.
Religious enthusiasm was alone worthy
to give birth to the instrument of truth.'

Genius has often been defined as some-1
thing inseparable connected with the </eui?i I
nature. If this definition be correct, J'oe!
was not a genius anymore than Swift, fori
geniality neither he nor his writings pos
sensed. Hut if genius mean a compound j
of imagination and inventiveness, original
thought heated by passion and accompanied
by pow er of fancy, 1'oc was a man of great
genius. . In wanting geniality, however, lie
wanted all that makes genius lovely and be
loved, at oneo beautiful and dear. A man j
of genius, without geniality, is a mountain j
