HE MET TO TART FOREVER.
BV KTSS JULIA PLEaSAKTS.
We m<.-t —’teras when her silver chain
The midnight moon vras wearing
Across a darkly rolling plain
Os waters wildly hearing—
Our hearts were not more still and calm
Than was that roaring river,
For we had sung life's morning psalm.
And met--to part forever.
There waved a beauteous forest aea
Beneath that moon's illuming.
But sorrow, in our sandal-tree,
Her axe had been poriuniing;
And sadly gazed we on the grove,
Which girt that foaming river,
And mourned to think, with all our love,
We uiet to part forever.
The nightingale flung ori the breeze
Her richest vocal treasure,
But grief, on life’s low minor keys,
Had struck a mournful measure;
And coldly fell the night-bird’s song.
We could but v-rCp and shiver
To think our broken hearts were strung,
To m f t and part for ever.
The den fell on the blooming vines
Our sylvan bower that shaded.
But in our spirit’s shattered shrines
The rose of love was faded,
v outh's golden dew, which bathed it erst,
Again would bathe it never,
And only blinding tear-drops burst
To meet and part forever.
The archer stars .at on ih-- sky,
Their silver arrows glancing
Against each wave that shouted by,
To ocean’s waste advancing;
But we had foit the poisonous darts
From grief's exhanstless quiver.
They rankied in the writhing hearts
That rri’-t to part forever.
Tis many a year since then wt met.
And sorrows have I numbered,
But bitterer brine bath never yet
My faded cheek encumbered;
And memory, hke a guilty sprite,
.Still haunts that lonely river,
Where, in the moon’s unclouded light.
We rnet to part forever.

MR. BROVV.Vh LAST AStC-Vf.
One turn autmtu-r -morning, a few yeaisainev, there
wss wonderful excitement in the li h village of Bal-
U doo’ey. All the ul’d men, women and chi'Uren in
th neighborhood corupreb*ndmg about nine-tenths
of the population, w. r* ass tuhlcd on the large level
common which served a-, ■. race course and galling
green ; and all thronged to-ard- soma i-bject in the
centre, which formed the nucleus of the crowd.
“ Aea, then, what’s the name of it at nil, at ulif”
demanded one ragged p.--,>•>
“Is it tied to th tail of it he’s going to go up?”
asked another.
“Ah, don t be foolish !’ exclaimed an old man, the
“ ns-- carriet” of the district, “don't ye see the long
ropes heV, going to hold on by?”
‘ ‘A ell, well, ’ groai.ed an old woman, taking her
dudeen, or short black pipe out of her mouth and
sticking it, lighted as it was, within the folds of her
cotton i ek -chief; “ them English are
mighty quart- people. I'm sure v. hen w e heard that
this Mr Brown, with his sacks of goold coming
to Ritclarm, alter buying out the rale ouid stock of
Deasy s, we thought he’d have carnages end horses
galore, and maybe a firm yacht in the harbor; but it
never entered the heads of any of us that nothing
leas would servo him than going coursing throngh
the air like a wild goose at the (ail of a ballons, or
tvhatsiimever they call it.”
For a'me time pas; the process of inflating the bal
loon bad been going on; and now the great gayly
painted orb towered tremulously above the heads of
the gaping spectators, ana pressing against the cords
by which it was held down, it seemed only to await
the arrival of the bold aeronaut to dart upwards on
its way.
“Here he is!’ exclaimed the outward stragglers
of the crowd; and presently a carriage drew up, and
out stepped Mr. Brown, the English millionaire, who
had lately become an Irish landed proprietor. Mr
Brown was a little dapper man, whom a very small
amount of pugilistic force would have sufficed to lay
level with the soil of his adoption. lie was one of
those unlucky individuals who meet an accident at
evi-ry tnro- >i iio, in entering a room, invariably slip,
tumble, knock down some piece of furniture, or sit
down beside their chair instead of upon it. He sel
dom oscapedupselting his inkstand, sending his meat
and drink tin- wrong way, and then coughing and
choking for half an hour ; cuttTig his fingers, tear
ing bis coat, or knocking his forehead against a door,
so that lie rarely appear’ and in society without scars,
plasters, or bandages. In practicing gymnastics he
had knocked out three teeth ; in yacht ng at Cowes
be had been four time nearly drowned; in shooting
on the moores in Scotland, he bad left the grouse
unharmed, but had blown off two of his own fingers.
A taste for pyrotechny had singed handsomely his
eyebrows, hair and whiskers, and as to railway trav
elling, his hair-breadth escapes, and moving incident,
and collisions upsets, and explosions, would have ser
ved to fill two or thn-e volumes of the English Flail
way Library, or the French liiblintb den Cheminm
d*‘ fW.
At length, having tried the three dements of earth,
water, and fire, it occurred to Mr. Brov. n that the
remaining one of air, as a medium of locomotion,
might be more agreeable, and could not !•*• more per
ilous than the others He accordingly, the year be
fore, when residing on his estate in Dovenshire, had
purchased .an excellent balloon, and, strange to say, j
had made several ascents and had cmne down again
i-i perfect safety. On this occasion he meditated a’
flight over Ihe Green Isle, and intended to come j
down at Belfast; but the best informed members of
the crowd asserted that ho was going “every step of
the wa v to ‘Amerfkky.’
\ London friend, who had cortie to Ireland ot a
fishing excursion, trad promised to join Mr. Brown
in hi flight; but as ; t would seem, his courage failed,
and he came not. X r.vjVd enraged, however,
Mr. Brown was just about to step into his rerial cur,
when a tall, strongly built mans iddenl) -topped fu--

“Faster I faster 1” hu exclaimed hi a tone of au
thority ; and s> ixing in succs .ssion three of the bags
of sand which rved as ballast, he thing them out
of the car, at the sum* time laughing in a strange,

“Better to fight with the elementa than with cus

Brown stood up, and laying his band on the strao
gerV arm, i aid;
“For Heavw-’a sake, don't stir! Our Lvoa are at
stake. I must allow some of this gas to escape, in
order to repair your imprudence.”
“ Mow do you do that
It was evident to poor Mr. Brown that bis travel
ing companion was a confirmed lunatic. A sudden
idea struck him.
“What is your name'” h>- asked.
“Gerald Annesly.”
“The very same 1”
“What mean you?”
“I knew where the wretch lives who stole your
child; we are now just above the spot. Draw the
valve, Mr. Annesley, and in a short time you will
embrace your Emma!”
“No, no, you arc deceiving me. My Emm* is not
on earth ; she is in Heaven, Last night she appear
ed to mo in a dream, and told me so. That’s the
reason I want to ascend higher and higher. C’ouie,
my friend, help me ; let us both blow as bard as we
j can on the balloon. As we are beneath, our breath
I must help it to rise. Blow! Blow 1” Mr. Brown,
| moved by terror, tried to obey.
1 “It does not stir 1 Come, mount on my should
ers and push the balloon.” And without consulting
him any further, the giant caught him up as if he
had been a feather, and held him above his head,
| saying; “Now push the balloon!” The unlucky
victim tried to obey, but the blood blinded his eyes.
There was a horrible buzzing in his ears, and lights
flashed before him. For a moment he thought of
throwing lumsell over in order to end his torments.
“Ha!” shouted the madman, *‘tt does not go!” --
At that moment the trembling hand of Mr. Brown
touched accidentally the cord of the safety-valve.—
- He made if play, and the collapsing orb began to de
scend rapidly. Through the clo’ida it darted down
waid, and the earth re appeared
“Ah!” cried Annesly, “instead <>t pushing the bal
loon, as I told you, you drew it downward. Push
upward! push, I say !”
“You see that I ani pushing un hard a# I can.”
“No ; for here is the earth 1”
! “Tl is only that the clouds ur rising toward the
upper regions.”
; “Well let us do the -amc Let us throw out ail

& FASHIONABLE RIILLE AT SARATCOA.
fia-ntoga ia a nmgm ‘, drawing with force,
thousands from every part. Some come b>, et > ecu.
template, to reverie, und to write; olhera to grasp a
chance in the lottery of life; while others rv here
to ftdtui* and to he admired. Time is wash din di*.
ipntioo, and t!te study is bow to dispose of it. Let
ns ao how a fashionable belle passes tlio day.
Fhc generally rls. s about 9 o’clock, A. M., takes a
half hour to array herself in her morning robes aud
arrange her eoifflevrt, then she perhaps goes to thu
Springs, and drinks mineral water, tumbler after turn
birr, till it in impossible to sw allow more—it i.i her
ambitfon to have drank more than her neighbor;
then she returns to breakfk t, and Rati-fie* her deli
cate appetite by catinga hair broiled chicken, a small
b.-cf-steak, an ouilit, some milk toaßt, rolls and cos
fee; and then she so ready to make a conquest of the
first mechanical body that wear; a vest. Then she
rolls ten-pins for an hour, in order to give hersclfcol
or, then returns homo to dress for dinner; two hours
arc generally taken for this; at the sound of the bell
or the gong, she sails in her dry goods into the din
ing hall. The greater the expense of dress, the grea
ter the htyle, the farther It drags behind, (he morn
you must admire her taste. When she is seated she
casta her eyes up and down she table to see the effect
aim has produced, then ralmly prepares to do justice
to the materials before tier.
Fashionable belles are always fine epicures; they
can instantly detect the difference between a faino
or a wild duck. One hour and a half is spent in
dinner, and then for a promenade and an arrange
ment into couples. Then is the time when all will
pass under Observation; every false diamond will be
detected; no bachelor but w ill be discovered, if ho
have a wig or not; a roughed faced will outvie tbo
artificial; au unnatural tooth, a glass eye, a wooden
leg, blind people, lame people, red-headrd people,
padded people. Teuponny calicoes cannot pass runn
ier as silks, and imitation lace must he put down,—
You must run the gauntlet, and every flaw will gape
ami spread ife If, aid become large In your ow ney e.
If you have been discovered sitting in a corner w ith
a companion, especially if you have been whispering
low, you will surely bo pointed at. The belles-
Saratoga belles—rule here, and you must submit to
custom without complaint. The belle now takes her
tea, and then she enters the ball room, and between
HirUtion and dancing, sho passes through the day
and evening. This is the routine of life, admirably
adapted to dyspeptic con-titntionß.
