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.

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-- ward. jtolitely Pib.thig th. tcroeant, -aid: “May I ask von a quesfi'n, ?r ?’’ 11 fertainiy.’’ *• Is and true that yon are ; - in.: to Ann idea?” “ No. merely to Ile'f.sr. wind and weather permit ting.’* “ Belfast,’’ repeat- dtt ganger n a tmv-ingman ner—“the North of Irc’and Well, that is th> direr tior which 1 tract to and 1 bate land traveling.

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.

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!

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.

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. WHAT HO THE LiQb'OK SEt.LERH PRfiIQE ?
