Before the bright and cheering ray, Thy lonely lot is east; And ere the spring can yet be gjiy, Thy transient bloom is past. Yet the sweet flow’r! What summer race, To vie with thee may dare— Since all we prize of charm and grace Are tiny things and fair! And so the heart in youth’s gay hour As vainly may approve To weep thro’ life lor some lost flow’r, Nor wish another love. For thee the fairest of the year, Shall sister Beauty sigh, And parted loves shall drop a tear, Above thy destiny. And still the musing Bard shall turn, Thy borders lone to tread ; And oft in sunnier moments mourn. Above thy bloomless bed. For so the fairest joys are relt, And ere life’s spring hath°run, The lonely heart feels nothing left, So dear as what is gone. Oft may the parent Spring rejoice, Above thy beauteous birth, And oft may poesy’s sweet voice, Revive thy modest worth. Idon. *Jn latitudes more Northern, from the middle of January to the end ot February, the Snow-Drop is seen piercing the snow, and waving in white blooms in the gale. The sin gle and the double are equally prized ; and the mourner-like di.-k of this flower, bent towards its cognate bed of snow, is a grateful lirst-fruit offering ofthe year, to the eye ofthe sensitive florist. [WRITTEN FOR THE TIMES & SENTINEL.] A Scrap from Aunt Patty’s Scrap Bag. THE RED VELVET BODDICE. By Caroline Lee llentz. CONCLUDED. Mrs. Worth resumed her narrative. It would be difficult to tell which was the most attentive auditor, Estelle or Aunt Patty. “I do not believe that it is possible fora young lady to have a favorite article of dress, careless ly, irretrievably ruined, without feeling conside rable regret, hut it *s certain Nora manifested no anger or vexation.” “This is one of the disadvantages of being small,” said she, folding up the unfortunate hod dice, and laying on it one side, “if 1 was only of a reasonable size this would not have happened.” “Do you really forgive the author of this ca lamity ?” asked St. Leger. “To be sure, 1 do,” answered Nora, smiling. “From your heart and soul?’’ “From my heart and soul.” “I did not believe women capable of so much magnanimity.” “1 am sorry you have so poor an opinion of our sex.” “He has been travelling in Europe,” remark ed Mr. Elmwood. “That accounts for it; be sides, if he knew Miss Shirland as well as I do, he would be as much surprised at any want of magnanimity on her part, as he now is at its manifestation.” “Thank you, Mr. Elmwood,” said Nora em phatically; “I value your praises, because I do not deem them compliments.” “And you should value mine, because they arc compliments,” said St. Leger, smiling; “a gentleman never takes the trouble to compli ment a lady whom he does not wish to please.” “As he believes that the only passport to her favor, it is natural he should make use of it,” repeated Nora bravely, though there was an ex pression in her eye that satirized the language of her lips. “How can you remember all they said, moth er?” questioned Estelle. “I suppose it made a deeper impression on my mind, on account of my anxiety on the subject, t wanted Nora to marry a northern gentleman and dwell among us. 1 was convinced that Mr. Ehmvood was not a marrying man, and that he was satisfied with the warm, pure friendship that existed between them. I knew that St. Le gor was fastidious and refined, and I feared that in my partial judgment, I exaggerated the winning qualities of Nora. I had penetration enough to perceive that the equanimity of tem per she showed with regard to her ruined bod dice filled him with admiration and respect. It was evident that his opinion of woman kind was exalted. He was a keen observer, and those who shrunk from scrutiny, did well to avoid the glance of his dark and beaming eye. I thought as their acquaintance deepened into intimacy, that Nora avoided it, but not because she dread ed its spirit-reading power. Her heart was transparent, as its feelings were deep, like the waters of a still lake, on a clear, summer day.” Estelle smiled and looked at Aunt Patty as much as to say, “mother relates a story charm ingly—does she not?” and Aunt Patty’s nod responded, “you know I always was a prosy be ing, darling. My niece Emma used to scribble poetry, before she married Mr. Worth.” “As the autumn drew near,” continued Mrs. Worth, “your Aunt Woodville coimnencd her preparations to return to the south. She shud dered at the idea of our cold northern winters, but Nora said she longed for a merry sleigh ride, when the ground was covered with snow, and the moon made it, if possible, whiter still. We all begged her to remain and the children gath ered round her, with tears, entreating her not to leave them. “Perhaps I may return with the flowers of spring,” said she, caressing them, “for dearly do I love this genial northern home. I do not think, however, I could bear the rigors of your wintry season, with all my admiration ofits snow, icicles and frost gems; she turned towards the window, and looked earnestly at the trees, which were gilded here and there with a golden leaf, and here and there touched with flame. I thought she looked very sad, and I wondered if St. Le- ger had been awakening too cleep an interest in her heart, without giving her his own in return. They had been thrown so much together, in so cial communion, there seemed such harmony of thought and feeling, it appeared impossible, that it their affections were disengaged they should not meet and mingle.” “Niece,” interrupted Aunt Patty, poising her knitting needle, with a deliberate air, “are you not making it too much of a love story, for such a young thing as Estelle ?” “Oh! no,” exclaimed Estelle, with blushing eagerness, “1 like such stories better than any other. I understand them too.” “1 do not think there is any danger of the de scription of the attachment of two such beings as Nora and Bt. Leger,” said Mrs. Worth, “hav ing any influence, but what is pure and good.- \ oung as Estelle is, she is capable of sympa thizing in the love which excellence inspires.— That evening, when St. Leger came, the topic of conversation was the approaching departure of our friends. I watched his countenance, and was sure a change came over it, while Nora’s color rose. It was not long before we missed them both- There is a very pleasant walk in front of our house, you know, by that avenue of poplar trees, which stretches beyond the gar den. I saw glimpses of two figures walking back and forth, and back again very slowly. It was easy to distinguish the lofty form of St. Le ger, in his dress of black, and any body could tell who Nora was, so slight and airy she looked, in the clear starlight, in her white mus lin robe and black scarf, making such a striking contrast. I think if 1 had counted the num ber oi times they walked up and down that ave nue, it could not have been less than a hundred. The children had long been in bed, Aunt Patty too, your Aunt Woodville retired to her cham ber, and I remained alone in the parlor reading Your farther, “Mrs. Worth never could mention that name, without a glistening eye and a heaving bosom.” Your father was absent from home, and though my eyes were on the book, my thoughts were wandering in pursuit of him. At length Nora entered alone. She looked pale and agitated, and I saw her hands tremble, as she gathered the scarf more closely round her. “Nora,” 1 exclaimed, “you have been too long in the night air. Yon should not have done so.” She did not answer, hut stepping quietly for ward, threw her arms round mo and laying her head on my bosom, burst into tears. I felt I strongly affected. Why should Nora weep? All my air-castles were then blown to the ground and i too wept over their ruins. In a few mo ments Nora raised her head and wiped away her tears. “I am so foolish,” she cried, “but I could not help it, my heart was so lull. Dear Mrs. \\ orlli, lain so happy.” “Happy, Nora!” a mass of lead was lifted from my spirits. They rebounded at once. “Oh yes, so happy, 1 have no language to ex press my boundless contentment. That is the right word, for I ask no more, than just the blessing gained. Ii on understand me, do you not, my own dear friend ?” “I think, 1 know I do,” replied I, embracing her with deep emotion. “You have gained the heart ot St. Leger, you have given him j’our own in return. There are not many such hearts, Nora. Oh! you do well to prize it.’’ “I am not so happy, that I have won his heart, priceless as I deem it,” replied Nora, with en- j thusiasm, “as that I have given my own, oh ! | there is far more happiness in loving than in be j ing loved. I began to fear that my twin-born ! soul hat! wandered so far from my peculiar ! sphere, our diverging paths would never meet in this world ; sometimes my heart felt dull, with j the weight of its latent affections. I wondered | why God had given me such capacities of loving without sending mo a being to call them into exercise. The very first time I met St. Leger, tiie master chord of my heart vibrated and 1 knew then it would vibrate forever. But not till this night was, I assured that the impression was mutual, that I was loved as deeply and passionately as the wants of my nature require, oh ! it is the realization of a life long dream.” “God bless you. dear Nora, ’ said I, “you de serve to he happy and you will be so. But will your parents consent to „uet. % will they he willing to resign you ?” “They prize my happiness more than their \ own,” she replied earnestly, “besides if 1 do I marry Mr. St. Leger,’’ and she blushed crimson, j as she said it, “we w ill pass all our winters at the south and only our summers here. Will not that be delightful ?’’ “But Mr. Elmwood!” I exclaimed. “No one will rejoice more himself in my pros pective happiness. lie is the most disinterested of human beings. He knows my whole heart and I all of his. If 1 were, in sorrow and trial I would go to him for comfort. If 1 were deserted by all else, I would be sure ofthe fideli ty of his friendships, the steadfastness of his re gard.” “In less than a fortnight your Aunt Wood ville left us and took Nora with her. It seemed as if the sun were withdrawn from the sky, so much brightness vanished with her. But she came hack as she had said with the flowers of spring, the happy wife of St. Leger. I do be lieve she was happy if ever human being was, for her dream of love was fully realized. He was the type of all that is noble and glorious in man, she, all that is amiable and excellent in wo man.” “Where do they live now, mother?” asked Estelle. “Have l ever seen them ?” “No, my dear, at first it was just as she had planned. They spent their summers at the north, their winters at the south, hut she gradual ly drew him, without any exercise on her part, to dwell in her milder latitude lie loved the south, for the elements of his character are more congenial with it, than the colder atmosphere of New England. He has a tropic nature and ac cident only gave him a bright place here. I correspond with Nora still. 1 u ill read you some of her letters, Estelle, they are the transcript of a true woman’s heart.” “Thank you, mother, but did Mr. Elmwood marry ?” my dear, he was born to be the friend of man and woman kind, not to bo limited to the domestic sphere.” “There are some sensible men in the world,” observed Aunt Patty, “and he is one ” 00“ “Hans Yorkel” has the following epigram, in the last New Orleans Bulletin, in reference to the nomination of U. S. Judge for this Cir cuit : “To badger the bench every lawyer essays And makes the attempt in various ways ; But here, from the State with less law than of tar, Behold shrewd effort sto “Badger” the bar.” CO” The reason that a chilly day is called “raw,” is because the sun doesn’t give heat enough to cook it! CO” Lord Orrery used to say that Fenton, the poet, died of an easy chair and two bottles of port a day. $ NUMBER 8 Mormon Marriage. The Seer continues its exposition ot Celestial Marriage, as it calls the marriage institution ot the Mormon Church. We make the following extracts: When a man who has a wife teaches her the law of God. as revealed to the ancient patriarchs, and as manifested by new revelation, anil she refuses to give her consent tor hnn to marry another,'according to that law, then it becomes necessary for her to state before the President the! reasons why she withholds her consent. It her reasons are suflicent and justifiable, and the husband is found in the fault, or in transgressions then he is not permitted to take any step in re gard to obtaining another. But it ihe wife can show no good reason why she refuses to comply with the law which was given unto Sarah of old, then it is lawful for her husband, if permitted by revelation through the prophet, to be married to others without her consent, and he will he justified, and she will be condemned, because she did not give them unto him, as Sarah gave Hagar to Abraham, and as Rachel and Leah gave Bilhah and Zilpah to their husband, Jacob. It is the duty of a man who takes another wife to look after her welfare and happiness, and to provide for her the comforts of life the same as for the first; for the Scripture, in speak ing of such a man, says: “If he take him anoth er wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.’’ (Exodus 21, 10.) There is no particular rule as regards the resi dence of the different branches ol a family, it is very frequently the case that they all reside in the same dwelling, take hold unitedly, and with the greatest cherfulness, ofthe different hunches of household or domestic business, eat ing at the same table, and kindly looking after each othois welfare, while the greatest peace and harmony prevail year after year. Their children play and associate together, with the greatest affection, as brothers and sisters; while each mother apparently manifests as much kind ness and tender regard for the children of others as for her own. And, morning and evening, when the husband calls together his family to worship the Lord and call unon his name, they all bow the knee, and, with the greatest union of feeling, offer their devotions to the .Most High, j It is sometimes the case that the husband j provides for his wives separate habitations, as I Jacob did for his four wives, each of whom had a separate tent. (See Genesis, 31, 33.) Where all the wives are equally faithful, the husband generally endeavors to treat (hem all without partiality. Jealousy is an evil with which the saints in Utah are but seldom troubled; it is an evil that is not countenanced by either male or female; ami, should any indulge such a passion, they would bring a disgrace and reproach upon them selves which they could not easily wipe away. And, indeed, it is very rare that there are any causes for jealousy, for the citizens of that Ter ritory think more of their virtue than they do of their lives. They know that, if they have any connections out of the marriage convenant, they not only forfeit their lives by the law of God, hut they forfeit their salvation also. With such views resting upon the minds of both old and young, the people have the greatest confidence in each other’s integrity; they can entrust their wives and daughteas, without any distrust, to the protection and care of their neighbors. Un | dor the strict and rigid laws of virtue which pre vail, and are carried into general practice, wives I are not in constant fear of the inconstancy of j their husbands ; parents are not fearful of their j children being seduced and their characters be | ing destroyed; neither are they,fearful that their ; children will form contracts of marriage with out their consent; for such a tiling is not allowed in the whole Territory. Such a state of things actually existing, not in theory alone, but in general practice, removes every cause for jealousy, distrust and want of confidence, and lays a broad and permanent foundation for peace and union, il a man ill-treats any of his wives, he is looked upon as having violated the law of God, and it is difficult for him to recover from the disgrace. There are more quarrelings, and jealousies, and disunions, and evil speakings, in one week among ‘ l '-.„sand families, taken at random any where in the t inted States or Ikngtanu, uni would he seen throughout .all Utah Territory in five years. And there is more unvirtuous con duct practiced in one day in New York City, or Buffalo, or Cincinnati or St. Louis, than would he practiced in Utah in a thousand generations, unless they greatly degenerated from their pres ent standard of morals. When a man and woman enter into matrimo nial contracts and convenant to he each other’s companion until death, they have claim upon each other for this life only ; when death comes, their marriage contracts and covenants expire; and in the resurrection, however much they may desire to enjoy themselves in all the endeaing relationships of husband and wife, they will find that their contracts am! eonveuants which were made for time only, give them no title to each other in eternity. Therefore, they will not he permitted under any conditions whatever to live together as husband and, wife. But can they not renew their contracts and he married again in that life? No; for Jesus says, “In the resur rection they neither marry nor are given in mar riage, hut are as the angels of God in heaven.” (Mathew 22: 30.) Those who have not secur ed their marriage for eternity in this life, can never have it attended to hereafter; therefore, if they should through fathfuluess even be saved,, yet they would be no higher than the angels, and would ho compelled to live separately and sing ly, and consequently without posterity, and would become servants to all eternity, for those who are counted worthy to become kings and priests, and who will receive thrones and king doms, and an endless increase of prosperity, and inherit a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Such will need myriads of servants as their kingdoms and dominions increase; and the numbers requisite will be found among those who kept not tire higher law, but still rendered themselves worthy of an inferior reward. No uninspired man has authority from God to join together the male and female in the marriage convenant. Marriage is an ordinance of God, and we read that “What God hath joined to gether let no man put asunder.” (Matthew 19; C.) Where man usurps authority to officiate in the ordinance of God,and joins together the sexes in marriage, such Unions are illegal in the sig ht of God, though they may he legal according to the laws and governments of men. The power to officiate in the ordinances of God has not been made upon the earth since the great apostasy, until the present century. Something like seventeen centuries have passed away since the authority was lost on the eastern hemisphere to administer in any ofthe ordinances of God. During that long i period marriages have been celebrated accord ngto the customs of human governments, by uninspired men bolding no au thority from God ; consequently, all their mar- riages, like their baptisms, are illegal before the Lord. Point out to us a husband and wife that God has joined together from the second centu ry of the Christian era until the nineteenth, if any can. Such a phenomenon cannot be found among the Christians or Jews, Mehometans or Pagans. All are without prophets or inspired men, all are, without divine authority: none have had power to seal on earth the marriage convenant that it might be sealed in heaven; none during that long period have heard the voice of the Lord commanding them to officiate in (hose sacred ordinances. Marriages, then, among all nations, though legal according to the la. vs of men, have been illegal according to the laws, authority, and in stitutions of Heaven. All the children born during that long period, though legitimate ac cording to the customs and laws of nation, are illegitimate according to the order and authority of Heaven. ‘Those things which are performed by the authority of men, God will overthrow and destroy, and they will bo void and of no ef fect in the day of the resurrection. Tiie Emperor’s ml dress nnuonneins his marriage. Messieurs I assent to the wish so often ex pressed by the nation, and come to you to an nounce my intended nuptials. The alliance contract is not in accordance with the old politi cal traditions, and therein lies Its advantage. France, by its successive revolutions, has ever abruptly severed herself from the rest of Europe. Every enlightened government ought to seek to h ad her hack within the pale of old monarchies ; but this result will be more cer tainly attained by a just and straighttroward policy, and by an honestly of conduct more than by a royal alliance, which create false se curity, and often substitute family interests for those ofthe nation at large. Besides, in this res pect, examples for the past have left in the spirit ofthe people superstitious feelings. It is not forgotten that for seventy years for eign princesses have ascended the steps of the throne only to see their race dispersed and proscribed by war or revolution. Only one woman has seemed to bring hap piness, to lire moie'than|othersin the affections of the this woman, the modest and good wite of Gen. Bonaparte, was not of royal blood. it must be admitted, however, that in 1810 the marriage ot Napoleon the first with Maria Louise was a greatevent. It was a guaranty tor the future, and a real satisfaction to the na tional pride to see the ancient and illustrous house of Austria, which had so long been at war with us, solicit an alliance of the elected chief ofthe new Empire. How, on the other hand—under t he last reign—had the an o irmapre of^-the countay to suffer when the inheritor ofthe crown vainly sought for several years to ally himself with a Sovereign house, and obtained at length a Princess, accomplished no doubt, but ofa se cond rate rank and of a different religion. V. lien, in the lace of old Europe, one is borne by the force of new principles, to the height of ancient dynasties, isnoi by by antiquating ones escutcheon, and seeking to introduce himself at any price into the family of kings, that one makes himselt accepted. It is much rather by always keeping ones origin in re memberance, in {preserving ones own charac ter, and sn taking frankly before Europe, a position of parvenue—a glorious title when it comes trom the free suffages of a great peo ple. ‘i bus obliged t“ depart from Ihe precedents followed even to the present day, my marriage became to a private affair, and there remained only to choose a person. She who has become the object ot my preference is of high birth— French in heart, by education and remember* ance ot blood shed by her father for the cause of the Empire She whom l have chosen has, as a .Spaniard, the advantage of having no re lative in France to whom it might be necessary to give honors and dignitaries. Endowed with all tiie qualities of soul, she will be an orna ment to the throne, as in thejiays of danger she would become one of its most courageous supporters. A devout Catholic, she will ad dress to Heaven the same prayers as myself for the welfare ot France* Good and gracious she will revive, I have a firm hope, the same position of die virtues of the Empress Jose phine. 1 come then. Messieurs, to say to France that I have preferred a woman whom I love and respect to any unknown lady, wi.ose alliance would have brought advantages mingled with sacrifices. Without disdaining anyone, I yield to my feelings; but alter having consulted my reason and my convictions. In short, in placing independence, the quali fies of the heart, and family happiness, above the dynasty ot prejudices and the calculations ol ambition, I shall not be less strong because I am more tree. Ere long, proceeding to Notre Dame, I shall present the Empress to the people and to the army. Ihe confidence they hsve in me assures me ol their sympathy towards her whom I have chosen ; and you, gentlemen, after learning to know her better, will be convinced in this also. 1 have been directed by Providence. Getting Married. The afternoon service had ended, and the congregation were arranging themselves for the benediction, when, to the great astonish ment and manifest interest ofthe worshipers, the good parson descended from Ihe pulpit to ot matrimony will now if they please to come forward.'* A deep slillnes fell over the congregation, broken only by the rustling of silk as some pretty little girlorfexcited matron changed her position, to catch the first view of the couple to be married. No one, however, arose, or seemed thejea-t inclined to arise. Where upon, the worthy clergyman, deeming his first notice unheard or misunderstood, repeated the invitation. “Let those wishing to be united in the holy bonds of matrimony now come forward ” Still no one stirred. The silence became al most audible, and a painful sense of the awk wardness of the position was gradually spread ing among those present, when a young gen tleman who had occupied a vacant slip in the broad aisle during service, slowly arose, and deliberately walked to the foot of the altar. He was good looking, and well dressed, but no one knew him, and no female accompanied his travels. When he arrived within a re spectable distance of atheclergyman, he paus ed, and with a reverent bow stepped to one side ot the aisle, but neithers aid anything nor seemed at ail disconcerted at the idea of get ting married alone. The clergyman looked anxiously around for the bride—who he supposed was yet to ar rive—and.at length remarked to the gentleman in an under tone: “The lady, sir, is dilatory.” “Very, sir.” “Had we not better postpone the ceremony longer? ” “I think not’ do you not suppose she will be here soon t ” “Me, sir,” said the astonished shepherd, “how should 1 knowofyourlady’smovements? That is a matter belonging to yourseli,” Avery few moments more were suffered to elapse in this unpleasant slate of expectancy, when the clergyman removed his interrogato ries : ‘ Did the lady promise to attend at the present hour, sir?” “What lady 1” “What lady ! why the lady you are waiting here for.” “I did not hear her say anything about it,” was the satisfactory response. “Then, sir, may I ask why you are here, and for what purpose you thus trifle in the sanctuary of the Most High ? ” said the some what enraged clerical. •‘1 came, sir, simply because Tou invited all those who wished to be united in the holy bonds of matrimony to step forward, and I happened to entertain such a wish ! I am very sorry to have misunderstood you, sir, and wish you a very good day.” The benediction was uttered in a solemn tone very little in accordance with the twitch ing of the facial nerves; and when, after the church was closed, the story got wind among the congregation, more than one little girl re gretted that her wishes had not been as boldly expressed as the young gentleman’s, who had really wished to be “unitedin the holy bonds of matrimony.”
