My blighted heart to God is given.

Thy own neglect and st-rn decree
Have finm my mul thy image tom,
And cause me thus to speak to thee
Farewell, no m,.-e thy love I’ll mucrii.
In memory oft I've loved tu wander
O er each past scene, so dear to me.
Rut now. alas. I’ve ceased to ponder
On all, that whispered praise of thee.
FV.rewell, the ’'itter word is spoken,
IL neefui Ih, our lots are cast af art;
May God acquaint .live, thy vow is broken.
And all to come is dtrail and dark.

“Well, sir, what might all this re-

been guided by your advice.’’

exclaimed the old gentleman, warm

j “Yes, mntr tnpny, you are aware
j that I am growing old, and that in a
I short time you will ho obliged to take
the burden of business upon yourself,
and consequently, you should now
marry, so as to be settled in life.’’
No reply was made by Henry, he
was meditating in his own mind up
on the marriage stato, and came to
the conclusion that it was just the
thing for him—but a shadow was on
his brow.
“And,” said Mr. De Vere, ‘‘know
ing sis I do that the respectability of
my family must not be impaired, I
| have, after consultation with an old
trieilH, equally well established as my
self, concluded that his daughter, a
I e.iutiful and charming girl should be
your wifie. I know that she will please
you anti we have decided that the
marriage shall take place at an early
day. \ ou cannot make any objection
when I inform you that your bride
is to receive a gift of ten thousand
dollars on her bridal morn.”
“Father,” said Henry, in a falter

“Impossible! and why so?” ex

gazed upon his visitor with- astonish
ment.
“Yes, the ungrateful reprobate has
done so, and that in tones which are
unalterable.”
“Then it is almost hopeless to go
further.”
“Not so, I will compel him to mar
ry her, or disinherit him.”
“But, mv dear De Vere—”
“Well.”
“My daughter also refuses to mar
ry your sou.”
“What!” exclaimed Do Vere, now
astonished in his turn, and sprinsrinsr
to his feet.” - ;
‘•She refuses to marry your son,
Henry.”
Sinking in a chair its if overcome
hy the intelligence, Mr. De Vere
said:
“Are you aware of her reasons for
so doing?”
' -“She' r <cl!s me she is already en
gaged, and rising from his scat, Mr.
St. Clair began to walk the floor ra
pidly ; then suddenly confronting De
Vere he said :
“What may be your son’s reason
for refusing to join opr families?”
“The same as your daughter’s--
he is engaged.’’
“Then, indeed, all our plans are
useless.”
“I will see my son to night, and
force him to accede to my wishes.”
“Force, is a* hard word, Mr. De
Vere, particularly to a young anu
passionate man like him.”
“But if lie still refuses I will threat
en him, I will swear to disown him,
to cut him off without a do.lar; I-think
that I cun bring him into measures,
and shall see you to-morrow morning,
and jou, in the meantime must en
deavor to prevail or. your daughter to
abandon her foolish love affair, and
bring her to reason.”
“I will, I will, depend upon it, and
! if you can only gain your son’s con

Mr. De Vere returned to his bu

giveness of the two parents, entered
into nil the gaiety of fashionable life.
Henry was given the charge of his
father’s business, young faces soon
smiled around him. but he never for

Some of the spirit of the father
seemed to be implanted witliiji the
breast of the son, as rising from his
seat lie said, with a determined nir:
“My hand and heart are at my
own disposal, to give to whom 1
please! God, sir, made the affections
to be ruled by no one, and 11s mine

me assure you that none but her shall

As lie concluded, his father’s wrath
knew no bounds, he declared that lie
would be obeyed. But finding the
resolves of his son unalterable, be
left him, b< gging of him to consider
the subject, and that for him he should
demand a strict compliance with his
request, or should no longer view him
in the light of a son.

hour of closing arrived. With eager
steps "find a determined will he wend
ed his way homewards. Supper was
upon the table when he entered, and
as be took a seat, lie glanced at Hen
ry and inquired, “if lie had duly con
sidered the subject of the morning?”
“I have,” was the calm reply.
“And have you concluded to obey
me?”
“ I have not,” replied Henry.
“ What, sir?”
“ I have determined to marry the
girl to whom I have offered my hand,
and no other shall ever be my wife.”
“ Then, sir, if that is your firm re

marry that woman you.are no longer
my son—my house shall be closed
against you and not one dollar of
mine shall you touch”—so saying,
he arose and left the apartment.
Henry knew his father too well to
doubt for one moment that all his
threats would be carried out. But
at all hazards he resolved to carry
out his plans. Everything was in
preparation, and as the hours of mid
night flew along, there might have
been seen a carriage waiting in the.
road, and a young man intently
watching for some expected object.
At length the rustling of address was
of their clothing—each one as tlicit
comfort or apprehension of dan^ei
dictated.
I lmd noticed on deck a fine loolt-
| iri S boy, about six years of age, fol
lowing around a man, evidently bis
father, whose appearance indicated
him to be a foreigner, probably a
German; a mnn of medium height
and respectable dress. The child
was unusually fair and fine looking,
handsomely featured, with an af
fectionate expression of countenance,
and from under his German cap fell
chesnut hair, in thick clustering curls.
After walking about the cabin fur
a time, the father and son slopped
within a few feet of where we were
seated, and began preparation for
going to Led, I watched them.
The father adjusted and arranged
the bed the child was to occupy,
which was an upper berth, while the
little fellow was undressing himself.
Having finished this, his father tied
a handkerchief around his head, to
protect his curls, which looked as if
the sunlight from his happy heart
always rested there. This done, I
looked for him to seek his resting
place; but instead of this, he quiet-1 fLiiik.s fit ; as I never pay my debts,

Mr. De Vere was a wealthy mer
chant about fifty, residing in one of
our eastern cities—» man of well
known integrity, who, by his own in
dividual exertions, unaided hy friends
or gold, bad raised himself to the em
inence lie now occupied. He pos
sessed intelligence and benevolence,
yet they were combined with a firm
and unyielding disposition. Henry,
diis only child, was in his twenty-third
year, of a handsome figure, and po
lishcd manners, bearing at the same
time an exemplary character.
After making the above request.
Mr. De Mere retired to his room,
where soon after, lie was joined by
his son. Taking n seat by the side
of his father, who, at the moment of
his entrance, was reading the mor
ning paper, he awaited his pleasure.
In a few minutes, the old gentleman
laid aside the newspaper, and thu»
commenced:
“Henry, I have requested your
presence here this morning that 1
might have a few words oT conversa-
tion with you upon a- matter which
closely concerns you; not the affair
of an hour, or a day, but one which
resolve, but dear Henry, rest assured
that nothing can change mine.”
“AYbo is this man to whom he lias
pledged you ?”
“Even that I know not, he only
told me that he was the son of an old
and wealthy friend.”
Clasping her in his arms, and kiss
ing away her tears, her lover said:
“Come what may they can not,
shall not seperate ns, Mary. There
is but one path for us to pursue, ui.d
that is to fly from such tyranny, and
render ourselves happy by giving me
tlie power to protect you-r-as your
husband, they wiil not dare to dispute
that l ight, and as my wife, you shall
be secure.’’
With some reluctance, dearest, I
undertake the task, but will depend
on you.”
“Yes, «« must, and will do it, the
step must be taken, and with as little
delay as possible, for if we delay,
some obstacles may arise to blast our
hopes.”
The plan was arranged, at twelve
Morning dawned upon the earth,
robing all in beauty,but to the heart o.
De Vere it brought no pleasure. He
was at a loss how to communicate to
Mr. St. Clair the fruitless result o.'
his mission. On arising, he inquired
for Henry, hut he was no where to
be found. Woudering at this strange
circumstance, he entered his son’s
room, and saw that it had not been
occupied the night before. A sealed
note ..upon the table attracted his
attention, and on opening it, he read:
“Dear Father: Seeing'no other
way by which to escape your ends, I
have left the city with my intended
bride, and when you peruse this,
Mary St. Clair will have become the
wife of your son, Henry De Verse.
“ Mary St. Chair,” chuckled the
old gentleman, that must certainly
be my friend’s daughter—what a fool
I have been never to have asked
Henry the name of his intended wife
—but now all is clear, and-korubbed
his hands with joy.
With a lighter heart he entered
fully, child-like, and simple, resting
his arms on the lower berth, against
which he knelt to begin ■ his prayer.
Tlie father sat down by his sidc
and waited tho conclusion. ItYvas,
for a child, a long prayer hut well
understood. I could hear tlte mur
muring of iiis sweet voice, hut could
not distinguish tho words lie spoke.
There were nun around it—Christian
men, retiring to rest without prayers;
or if praying at all, a kind of mental
desire for protection, without suf
ficient courage or piety to kneel
down in a steamboat’s cabin, and be
forestrangers, acknowledge tlie good
ness of God, or ask His protecting
love.
This was the training of some mo
ther. Where was she now? How
many times had her kind hand been
laid on those sunny locks, as she
had taught him to lisp his prayer?
A beautiful sight it was, that child
at proyei in the midst of the busy,
thouglitles throng. He, alone, of
this worldly multitude, draws nigh to
hcavc-n. 1 thank that parental love
that taught hint to whisper hi* even
ing paryer, whether dead or living,
whether far off or nigh. 1 could
scarce refrain from weepiug then, nor
can I now, as I see again that sweet
child, in the crowded tumult of n
steamboat's cabin, bending in devo
tion before his Maker.
But a little while before I saw a
crowd o admiring listeners gather
ing about a company of Italian singers
in the upper saloon, a mother and
her two sons, with voice and linrp
and violin ; but no one cared for the
child at prayer.
When the little boy had finished
his evening devotion, lie arose and
kissed the father most affeetionatelv,
who put him into his berth to rest for
the night. I felt a strong desire to
speak to hem, but defered it till
morning. \\ r hen morning came, the
confusion of landing prevented me
from seeing them again. But il 1
ever moot that boy in bis happy
youth,I’ll thank him for the influence
and example of that night’s devotion,
and bles* the name ot' the mother
that taught him.
Scarcely any passing incident of
my life ever made si deeper impres
sion on my mind. I went to my room
and thanked Goil that I had witness
ed it, and for its influence on jay
heart. Who pray* on a steamboat ?
Who teach their children to pray
even at home?—Home Journal.
... A fellow, who was arrested in
Buffalo for stealing a shirt, put in the
following defense:
I did not steal the shirt; I was
passing along by the store, and I
saw the shirt hanging up, and then I
took hold of it. When I took hold
of it, it dropped down in my hands,
anil I knew that if I stood there with
it, people who saw me would believe
that I meant to steal it; so Iran off
to prevent suspicion attaching tome.
...An Irishman being struck by
his master, cried out :
“Devil take me if I’m certain whe
ther he has kilt me or no; but if I’m
kilt, it will afford me great satisfac-
1 tion to hear tho old deg waB hanged
for killing me.”
o’clock that night he was to be in [ the counting -oom of his old friend,
waiting for her at a short distance’ fiat ere he could tell the joyful news,

Let us now follow Mr. De Vere,
who, after leaving the loom, repaired
to his counting house, in no very
pleasant mood. His thoughts were
not with his business, and soon he de
parted to seek the presence of Mr.
St. Clair, to whose”daughter he had
pledged the hand of his son.
“Mr. St. Clair, much as I grieve
to say it, much as I fear that our
friendly intercourse may be inter
rupted by the occurrence, yet I must
inform you that my son most posi
tively refuses towed your daughter.”

“Dear Father,not wishing to give
my hand to one who has not my
heart, 1 have conc.u led to take the
step which makes me the happy
wife of Henry De Vere. I am still
your own, Mary.”
Without speaking, Mr. De Vere
then showed his friend the letter of
his son.
“ Well, said he, they have out
witted us, but all has ended as 1
ardently hoped; I an done meddling
in young folk’s love affairs.”
“And I, also, responded De Vere.
