Tlie Bridal B lue Cup. “ I‘letlge with wine—pledge with write,” cried the young and thoughtless Harvey Hood ; •• pledge With wine,” ran through the brilliant crowd. The beautiful bride grew pale—the decisive hour bad come. She pressed her white hands together, and the leaves of the bridal wreath trembled on her brow ; her heart beat wilder, “Yes, Marion, lay aside vour scru ples for this once,” said the judge, in a low lone, going towards his daughter, “the company expect it. Do not in fringe upon the rules of etiquette ; in your own home do as you please, but in mine, fortius once, please ir.e. Every eye was turned towards the bridal pair. Marion’s principles were well known. Henry had been a eon vivialist, but of late his fiiends noted the change in his manners, the differ ence in his habits; and to-night they watched him to see, as they sneering ly said, if he was tied down to a wo man’s opinion so soon. Pouring a brimming beaker, they held it with tempting smiles towards Marion. She was si ill very pale, though more com posed, and her hand shook not as she gently accepted the crystal tempter and raised it to her lips. But scarcely had she done so, when every hand was arrested by her piercing exclamation, “Oh, how terrible !” “VVhat is it?” cried one and all, thronging together, for she had slowly carried the gloss at arm's length, and was fixedly regarding it as though it were some hideous object. “Wait,” she answered, while an in spired light shone from her dark eyes, “wait, and I will tell you. I see,” she added slowly, pointing one jeweled finger at the sparkling liquid, “a sight that beggars all description ; and yet listen! I will paint it for you if I can. U is a lonely spot, tall mountains crowned with verdure rise in awful sublimity around ; a river runs through, and bright flowers grow to the water’s edge. There is a thick warm mist that the sun seeks vainly to pierce, i’rees, lofty and beautiful, wave to the airy motion of birds ; but there a group of Indians gathered ; they flit to and fro with something like sorrow upon their brows. And in their midst lies a man ly form—but his cheeks, fiow deathly; his eyes wild with the fire of fever. —- One friend stands beside—nay, I should say kneels, for see, lie is pillow ing that poor head upon his breast.— Genius in ruins—oh! the high, holy looking brow, why should death mark it. and he so young? Look how he throws back the damp curl ! see him clasp his hands! hear his thrilling shrieks for life ! mark how he clutches at the form of his companion, implor ing to be saved. Oh ! hear him call piteously his father’s name—see him twine his fingers together as lie shrieks for his sister—his only sister—the twin of his soul ! weeping for him in his dis tant native land. See! she exclaimed, while the bridal party shrank back, the untasted wine trembling ir. their falter ing grasp, and the judge fell overpow ered upon his seat —“see, his arms are lifted up to heaven ; he prays, how wildly, for mercy ; hot fever rushes through his veins. The friend beside him is weeping awe-stricken ; the dark men move silently away, and leave the living and the dying together.” There was a hush in the princely parlor, broken only by what sepmed a smothered sob from some manly bo som. The bride stood upright, with quivering lips and tears stealing to the outward edge of her lashes. Her beau tiful arm had lost its tension, and the glass, with its little troubled red waves came slowly toward the range of her vision. She spoke again ; every lip was mute. Her voice was low, faint, yet awfully distinct; she still fixed her sorrowful glance upon the wine cup; “ It is evening now ; the great white moon is coining up, and his beams lay gently on his forehead. He moves not ; his eyes are set in f heir sockets — dim are their piercing glances—in vain his friends whispered the name of the father and sister —death is there. — Death, and no soft hand, and no gentle voice to bless and soothe him. His head sinks back—he is dead !” A groan through the assembly, so vivid was the dsecription, so unearthly her look, so inspired her manner, that what she described seemed actually to havelaken place then and there. They noticed, also, that the bridegroom hid his face in his hands, and was weeping. “ Dead !” she repeated again, her lips quivering faster and faster, and her voice more and more broken, “ and there they scooped him a grave, and there, without a shroud, they lay him down in that damp reeking earth. The only son of a proud father—the only idoiized brother of a fond sister. And he sleeps to-day in that distant country with no stone to mark the spot. There he lies —my father's son—my own twin brother !—a victim to this deadly poison. Father, ” she exclaimed, turn ing suddenly, while the tears rained down her beautiful cheeks, *• lather, shall I drink it now ?” The form of the old judge was con vulsed with agony. He raised not his head, but in a smothered voice he fal tered : “ No, no, my child, in God's name., no!” She lilted the glittering goblet and letting it suddenly fall oil the floor, it was dashed into a thousand pieces.— Many a tearful eye watched her move ments, and instauianeouly every wine glass was transferred to the marble ta ble, on which it had been prepared. — Then, she turned to the company, say ing, “Let no friend who loves me, tempt me to peril my soul for wine. Not firmer are the everlasting hills than my resolve, God helping me, never to touch or taste that terrible poison. And to whom I give my hand—who watched over my brother’s dying form in that last solemn hour, and buried the dead wanderer there by the river in that land of gold, will. I trust, sustain me i.t that resolve. Will you not, my husband ?” His glistening eyes, his sad, sweet smile was her answer. The judge left the room, and when in an hour after he relumed, and with a more subdued manner took part in the entertainment of the bridal guests, no one could lail to read that he, too, had determined to banish the enemy at once and forever from his princely home. Those who were present at that wedding ct n never forget the impressions so solemnly made—many from- that hour foreswore the social glass. A GHOST STOPY. AND WHAT CAME OF IT. V Emetine B—, who does not live three arrow-flights from Chouteau avenue, had a sweatheart, as most Emetines do, whether they live near avenues or al leys. The courtship had been sweet and harmonious. Paul R was a handsome fellow, brave for his love, and tender and true. ’Twere long to tell of the late trystings down by the garden gate ; of the stray kisses blown soft and caressingly across lattice bars; of the low m-unaurings that fascinate, and the mysterious confidences that allure. They were engaged. Paul haunted Jaccard’s like a shadow until he found a ring suited to him, and which would typify the successful ter mination of his suit. Emeline wore it in a coquettish way, and flashed its brilliancy in the despairing eyes of those other giris who had no Pauls and no promises of marriage. Paul was happy, but whether as a big sunflower or not is no business of ours, who intend to deal merely with the real, and to leave the speculative for those who play upon the planchelte. Summer came and passed away as a languid green ; autumn, with the dead empress in his arms, mourned for her through all the mellow days ; winter wove with the hands of the north wind a snow-shroud for the lord and lady ; and in the spring Paul bade a brief good-bye to his darling 1 , and started for Montana, promising all manner of devotion, and receiving the promises of all manner of devotion in return. Emeline was no doubt, in love, but Emeline was young, and one might say gushing, and, withal, had a good appetite. She remembered Paul for his ring, for his kisses, and lor th-e beauty of his bearded face. But a rival came after awhile, and made hot love winningly. If Paul had been as a light infantryman in wooing, Charles S r was a zouave of the Imperials Garde —he was irresistible. In one charge he captured the ring, surround ed Paul’s daguerreotype, bayoneted his tender epistles with keen ridicule, and tossed the red shako of his audicious avowei into the inmost citadel of Erne line’s heart. News came at last that in some wonderful Indian fight Paul had been shot down and scalped. Emeline was sorry in truth, for she said, musingly, one day, “Poor fellow ; I hope he was quite dead before they scalped him ; it would have distressed him so much to lose his hair.” And she felt up aloft complacently about her own duck of a chignon and imagined the surprise of Mr. Ogolallah Sioux if he should at tempt to take her scalp. It was all plain sailing with Mr. Charles S after the raid of the “bloody In-di-ans,” and the day was fixed, and the vows were plighted, and another ring rested ominiously where Paul's had been. Five nights ago Miss Emeline B-: retired alter a “field day” with her lover. He had been aggressive and she had been yielding. They had dis cussed Paul, but not the proverb which runs thus : ‘•lt is good to be merry ami wise, It is good to be honest and true; It is well to be off with the old love. Before you are on with the new ” About midnight Emeline’s parents were aroused by fearful cries proceed ing from her room, and imagining ter rible things, they rushed frantically to her assistance. The poor girl was almost beside herself with fright. Her beautiful face was paler than her night dress ; her lips were blanched, her little hands worked nervously, and she could scarcely articulate. “Oh !” she shriek ed, with her arms wound convulsively about her mother’s neck, “I have seen a ghost!” “A ghost ?” said the father, who had been dreaming about cent per cent, “humbug, Miss,such a story won’t pay, Miss.”. “A ghost!” pitied the mo ther, shielding her daughter's eyes with her bosom, “did it wear pantaloons?” Thus put upon, poor Emeline told, in broken and tremulous accents, of how Paul, dressed all in white, with blood running in great streams over his face, appeared to her, and bent ever her, and seemed to be mad with her, and then she looked under the bed for Paul and on the bed for Paul’s The old man muttered through iiis gray whis kers something which sounded like “humbug,” and retired. The mother remained during the night and heard from her daughter’s own lips all about her first love and her last. The next day Charles S got his walking pa pers, and, strange and true to relate, in five days Paul rc-turued with as pretty a head of hair as ever was sprinkled with frangipanni, and as harmless ofan Indian fight as he was ol sending his spirit to his sweetheart’s room. The above story has a truthful and NO. 10. actual foundation, and nothing is unreal but the suppression of the proper in itials of names. Those who know the parties can supply the omissions, and net themselves ready to attend a wed ding in fashionable life.— St. Louis Republican. Wot an Enoch Arden Case. One of our enterprising colored men having been advised to “take a wile,” went to Louisville last week and look the wife of a colored citizen of that place, to w’hom, unmindful of the frowns of the law, he was united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Believing in the principle that “to the victor belongs the spoils,” he caused considerable fur niture, the property of his predecessor in the affections of the colored beauty, to be shipped to Lebanon, and arriving here with his bride, “born to blush un seen,” began housekeeping, with every prospeet ol'protracteddomestic felicity. But alas ! “Some sorrow follows all our brightest joys, Some wanton finger with each heart-string toys, Some demon lit culls the sweet flowers of hope, Ere their fresh chalices to sweetness ope." So it proved in this case. The in jured lord left behind in the city, came home to his deserted hearthstone and found himself “ poor indeed.”— His heart yearned for the perfidious woman who had betrayed his confi dence, but yearned still more for the missing furniture. He could bear the loss of all his domestic peace, but would not brook the Joss of one piece of furniture. He soon found out the direction the guilty pair had taken, and came on to this place a few days ago, demanding his wife and his property, especially the latter. Husband No. 2 agreed to surrender the furniture, if permitted to retain the woman, to which Husband No. 1 at length consented; hut this reasonable compromise was not ratified by the dusky Helen. She expressed her determination to abide or go with the goods and chattels, and from these, in no event, would she be separated. No argument, no entreaty, no blandishment could move her from her fixed resolve. When the cars mov ed ofi’bearing the household goods hack to the residence of the object o( her first affection, she stepped aboard, leav ing her second choice to grief and soli tude.—Lebanon Clarion. The Josli Billing’s Papers. FOUNDLINGS. He that will foller good advice iz a grater man than he that gives it. It iz human to err, but devilish to brag on it. Blessed iz he who haz a big pile and knows how to spend it. 'Fhe minds of the young are eazily trained ; it iz hard work to get an old hop vine to travel anew pole. I don’t hanker after bad luck, but I had rather run the risk of it than trust too much in the professhuns of men. Just in proportion that a man iz thankful to heaven and hiz nabor, just in that proportion iz he happy. It is a dreadful fine thing to whip a young one jist enuff, and not ennv more. I take it that the spot iz loka ted jist where their pride ends and iheir mad begins. Blessed iz them who have no eye for a key nor ear for a knot hole. A man should learn to be a good ser vant to htmself before he is fit to boss others. The more exalted our station, the more conspikuous our virtews, just az a rich setting adds to the brilliancy ov a jewel. Blessed are the single, for they can double at leisure. If yu want to learn a child to steal oats in the bundle, make him beg out of yu everything yu giv him. There is nothing so difficult for the best of us as tew get the approval ov our own conscience. Blessed iz he who can pocket abuse, and feel that it iz no disgrace to be bit l.y a dog. Ilappyness consists in being perfect ly sattisfied with what we have got and what we havent got. We are told that riches takes wings and flies cut of sight, and I have known them tew take the proprietor along with them. Blessed is the man who can eat hash with a clear conscience, for his heart must be full of pity. I have seen those who were az full of all sorts of learning as the heaves are of wind ; they are just the thing to cut up into weather cloaks. If a man iz thoroughly satisfied with himself he will be very well satisfied with everybody else. “ Blessed are the meek and lowly,” (and very luckey, too, if they don’t git their noze pulled.) If death iz an evil, birth is a greater one. One of the fussyest scenes I ever listened to was two old maids waiting on one sick bachelor. If we take all the hard sledding ov this life, and make it four times as much, it w’on’t amount tew the affiik tions that men pile on each other. I think every man and woman on earth ought tew wear on their hat band those words, in large letters : “Lead us not into temptashun.” I never knew ennvbody yet to get stung by hornets who kept away from where they waz—it is jist so with bad ludfr. Blessed iz he who haz got a good wile and knows how to sail her. The true definition of a luxury is sumthiug that another feller haint got the stamps to buy. Blessed iz he who always carrys a big stone in his hand but never heaves her. I never read eomick papers, dear Jessie, enny more than I would eat rye bread when I am away from home. Yu kail judge of a man’s religion very well by hearing him talk, but yu katu judge ov hiz piety by what he sez enny more than yu kan judge of his amount of linnen by the stick-out ov hiz collar and wristbanns. Singular Case. A Vermont paper says : “There is a man in this Stale who cannot speak to his father. Previous to his bsrlli some difficulty arose between his mother and father, and for a consider able time she refused to speak with him. The difficulty was subsequently healed, the child was born, and in due time began to talk; but when sitting with his lather, was invariably silent. It continued so until the child was five "years old, when the father, having exhausted his powers of persuasion, threatened it with punishment for its stubbornness. When the punishment was inflicted, it deeded nothing but sighs and groans, which told but too plainly that the little sufferer could not speak, though he vainly endeavored to do so. All who were present united in the opinion that it was impossible for the child to speak to its father.

The London Post relates as some thing particularly fresh a story which has been going the rounds of the Ameri can newspapers any time these ten years. The anecdote is as follows, in the language of the Post: “An officer of the Guards, a good steeple-chase rider, went out the other day with a favorite dog with a muzzle fastened cm his tail. He had not gone far beforeJte was accosted by a policeman, who told him that, as his dog was unmuzzled, he should take it up and detain it.— This the officer in question defied hint to do, maintaining that, as his dog had a muzzle on his tail, he had complied with Sir Richard Mayue’s order, be cause it was not stated where the muz zle was to be placed on the dog. This so fairly baffled ‘the intelligent police man* that heal once gave way, and let the Guardman depart in peace with his faithful companion.” The Yankee ver sion of the above has General Butler for its hero.

The landlord produced the whisky. “Up at the top of the hill where the road turns—you know where the big rock is ?” said the Indian. “Yes.” “And beyond the rock is a big stump —you know where that is TANARUS” “Yes.” “Beyond that stump is an oak bush, atid under it is the hear, fast asleep.” Boniface started with tnen, dogs and guns, but no bear was found. “You lying whelp,” said he to the Indian as he returned, “you have de ceived me ; there was no he ir there, and none has been there lately.” “You found the rock, didn’t you?” asked the Indian. “Yes, I found the rock.” “And the stump was there too, wasn’t it TANARUS” “Yes.” “ And the bush was there ?” “Yes, hut there was no bear there.” “Three truths to one lie! Pretty well for Indian ; better than white man do,” w r as the cool reply. Negro Simile. —An old negro nam ed Pete was much troubled about Ins sins. Perceiving him one day with a very down-cast look, his master asked him the cause. ‘Oh, massa, lam such a great sinner.’ ‘But, Pete,’ said his master, ‘you are foolish to take it so much to heart. You never see me troubled about my sins.’ ‘I know de reason, massa,’ said Pete ; ‘when you go out duck shooting and kill one duck and wound another, don’t you run after de wounded duck ?’ ‘Yes.
