That weighed on my soul, that poisoned my life, And made the fair earth with ruin and daiknesa all rife. They dream not, wTfo see me with laughter and gai ety, Move ‘mid the yftniig in the ha r ss of festivity. That cold in mv bosom, nil broken and bleeding, Lies a Sad heart on which so-ro wis feeding. They know not that far from that throng of the gay, My “thoughts o'er the o*ean are winging away, To a land of the east, a bright isle of the main, Where deep in the cold earth, my hero they’ve lain. He died—and he sleeps in a stranger land, Where they scooped out a bed on the serf beaten strand ; No flower will deck that lone mound hy the deep, No mourner will sing o'er it, and grieve for his sleep, When last T beheld him—my bemtilul one— How tittle I thought th*it his race was near done; That boon he would sleep in a for away grave, Wrapped in the flag of the fnrie, the shroud es the brave. His love sighs for him alvray—l weep for him wak* insr, And his form haunts the dreams that steal o’er my sle ping; Rut not long will I weep—not long will I sigh, For my heart is fast breaking, Soon gladly l’U die.

Amongst that throng, our two acquaintances, Emma Norris and Oetavia May, shone conspicu ous. Emma with her gr-iden ends and merry iose-bud free, looked, ra will as spoke a genial welcome to all; and lastly with deep pathos, Oc tavia bade adieu to all. She resumed her seat, and not an eye refused its tribute to her touching farewell, ller own lip trembled, and her pure cheek paled, for as she had said, she fully appre ciated the weight of the solemn duties she that day assumed—duties that were life-long. CHAPTER IT. “Twelve miles yet, of this hilly, jolting road! Emma, my dear, I give you credit for unusual patience. I have not beard one word of com plaint from you all this long, hot day.” “ I have bee t too busy with my own thought#, Papa, to become impatient at either jolts or heat, as Oetavia May would say. I have forgotten one duty however, that is, to make mysftlf more ei.teriai ning to you and Ma’ma. I fear you have formed but a p<x>r opinon of yottr daughter's con versa ional powers, from the specimen given to day.” “ I’m only glad yon don’t feel dull, my dear. Your mo.her and I have b-en together too long to ire of each other’s society now,” said the father. “ Were you never the least bit tired of each other, Papa ? I’m often curious to know if mar ried people never tire ? There is Oetavia May, fe< n engaged* i-ix whole months. I often tell her i would not do for a man to trust-we that long.” “ Wait til’ you are really in love,little one,and then y<*u'll change jour tunc, I guess. I have * clmu’ the hill of life with your mother, and never felt one hotti’a ennui nidi her yet ” 44 Well, that is wonderful 1 past my compre hens on as je, but Mama, whai do you say ? can you return Papa’s compliment?” “ We are g’ tting too old to discuss steb roa * Wra nojr. I should dkdkft to see you marry with four present leering* ” PKNFIKI.Ii. GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1857., “ Oh, dear, Mama, don’t talk to me of marrying ret, Why, I’m not sevfntfen! I h*v© a whole year to enjoy life yet; one blissful year of flirting dancing, drearing and living, and then I shal gracefully gl-'de into that precious piece of insipid ly ’yclept an American married woman.” % ’‘lndeed you are much too young and Ignorant to marry yet ; it i* because such as yourself rake upon themselves the responsibilities of marring* in this country, that the reproach of insipidity may” be preferred sga nst them.” “ How old, toy dear, were you when you tool opon yourself the responsibility of marriage?’ asked Mr. Norris, wiib a smile. “ Having married at fifteen, I know the dread vantages of entering the state in youthful ignor ance.” “ And with a poor man at that! Emma rek* voor fatlur’s advice, and never take a poor man.'* “ Never fear, Paj*a, I love luxury o’er well now, Oetavia says.” ‘* When wi 1 Miss May meet ire, my dear ? 1 like her very much. I can safely recommend ht-r to your continued iiking,” said Mrs. Norris. “Oh ! I love and respect her thoroughly, M*- ma, and always shall. They will not be at t* Springs betore the lat’er part of they week; thej are to be accompanied by Octavia’s fianrie. Mr- May, jou know, is a widow, and quite a m<de! woman I be ieve; but 0 tavia is the very hve test, most interesring giri I ev. r saw, what a pity -he >s engaged, ahe would hare been a belle.” “ Wdl aim be mAn ied soon ?” “Oh, dear, no Mama! do let me tell you wha a eomplftie sacrifice Mm.

Now, don’t you tnink it is a sheer Wfe-te of the go >d things of this life !” 44 PerhAps they are in straightened circumstan cm, my daughter.” 44 Oh no! very wealthy *, and Oetavia is a great heiress. Paul is poor, and Mrs. May SHys Oe avi must be fitted for a poor man’s wife. Isn’t that a new idea, when she has enough for both ?” “ She m>iy be too young}” “ No, she Is now eighteen-—old enough to be married. I know if I am single at that age, 1 shall give up for an old maid.” “Go ahead Em ! Marry ! It Is woman’s d<>ft tiny. The sooner accomplished, the better,” says her father. “Not tired of me in two days, I hope, Papa, l assore you I hate ho intention Os leaving yon till my year of grace has fully exphed.” 1 No, no! not tired yet, my pet; Int here we are at ihe Springs! What a g<y throng! Per haps some of yon Don Whiskmndo’s may change some of your present resolves.” “Not a moustache, sir, for they are my utter detestation.” Quite a sensation our pretty little Emma crea ted at the Springs with her fresh, pure joy - otisne3 and lovely face. To htr the world’s adu lation was new, and ehe eagerly snatched the cir c an cup and held it laughingly to her rosy lips. It was an evening towards the close of the week of the arrival of the Norris party; the company were at! assembled in the dancing sa’oon; rare muric threw its witching charm over the scene; sweet flowers breathed their perfume around; wo men looked lovely, and men gallant, an 1 “ail went merry as a marriage bell.” Emma Norris, one of the brightest things in that bright scene, tore her self from aJcnot of admirers, and running up to her mother’s quiet corner, *aid, “ Oetavia has come. I have seen her only n few moments. Mrs. May is too much fatigued to ome down this evening, so b- gs you will take charge of her daughter. Ob ! there she is now ! What a queen she is H Very truly did Emma rpeak ; for what could be more majestic than the simple loveliness of that young girl, as with-quiet grace 6he entered the gay saloon, clothed jn simple white, with her black hair parted over her pure brow in rich wavy bandeaux, embellished with a single white came lut—her large dark eyes roved around w.th a quiet air of admiring wonder. “ Jhat is, that must be, Paul Holmes with her. What a fright he is ! No whiskers—not even h m ustache, I declare; but they, are looking for us. Shall I beckon to them, Man* *?” B *id Emma, as aha watched thrir progress dowo the long sajoon “ Ah, Emma! here you ro at last. I’m glad to see one familiar face. Allow me to introduce Mr. Holmes; he already knows my little Emsna; IM consign him to your care whilst I speak to your “Good evening Mr. Holmes. Mama and l are so gtftd you are hero at last, Ootavia.” “ Won’t you. extend that kind welcome to me too, Miss N'*rr.s; I need it more than Miss M y; I Assure you I feel lonely enough in this crowd ot gay strangers ” “You brought your we’cqme wish you, Mr. Holmes.
