Slarulng.
I strolled along a trodden way,
'Twas Morning, and the sky was bright,
And traveler, passing on would say
'• We'll reach our homes ere coming night."
Each heart seemed filled with peace and joy,
No sorrows Clouded o'er the brow,
And happiness without alloy
Gushed forth horn every bosom now.
A youth on whose .trong arm there hung
A maiden for. with sunny face,
Conversed to her with Tully's tongue
About some cool, sweet resting place.
Beside a crystal (taut that flew
Iato the air like showers of dew.
Where rainbo* colored birds, with notes
Of Sweetest music in their throats.
In nature's grand arena played,
T- entertain the youth and maid.
I heard him wh sper word, to her.
Winch seemed her very soul to stir ;
Bul to tbe world I dare not tell
_*__€ words that made her bosom ewell ;
y_t one a thousand times tho' told,
In throbbing hearts will ne*. grow cold j
'Twas Love lo her he softly said,
She answered Love, and they were wed.
Yet not content wiih joy like tins,
I saw bim snateh kiss after Mas.
All nature smiled, life's lamp grew blight,
Ami sunny prospects net the sight ;
Birds sang,   (reams flowed, and mountains high
Reared their tail heads to pierce the sky.
I feared this magic scene loo soon
Would lade belore approaching noon;
Yet flowYs threw odors on lhe air,
And life's gay morning still was fair.
Noon.
'Twas Noon upon life's pathway,
A-id the busy crowd st 11 bore,
With steps that knew no halting,
Toward au unseen .bore.
A rniii of giant Btrengtb was seen
Wilt: a banner in tbe breeze.
II- a bug a crowd of warlike mien,
Ambition to appease,
Where'er tliey passed tho Eod was stained
Witb Hoods of human gore,
And every victory thev gained,
Belched forth the cannon'a roar,
A tilOU&and widows wailing stood,
With srpba-as by their side,
Gazing upon tbe fields of blood,
Where husbands bled and died.
Then war's dai k cloud- were swept away,
And hrigh', shone heaven's sun ;
With peace the order of the day-
More mighty deeds were done.
Men seixed the secrets nature bid
Deep in the sullen earth,
And held Ihem fbrlh to those who bid
For things of noble worth.
With skill lhe elemental power-
Fire, water, earth and nir—
Was made to .cream, ami roll aud cower,
Round man's triumphal car.
O'er land and ocean, through blank fpacc,
With lightning speed he rode.
Enquiring for the dwelling place
Ot great Jehovah, God!
Evening.
But Evening came, and shadows j_r.W
Life's pathway all around ;
No magic echo backward threw
A merry youthful _cund.
An aged man on whose pale cheek
The brand of lime bad wrote
Words none but time can ever speak,
Stood lone, almeat forgot.
His eyes refused to catch the view
Which sunset painted on the hills ;
He could not see tbe lovely hue
Of birds whose very souIb were trills.!
Of richest music in the air,
Whieh music now he could not hear,
Tho' thrilling, sweet, and long it roll,
It ne'er can reach the poor old soul.
Ho trembling stood, nor saw, nor heard
The passing scenes that round him stir'd ;
His spark of life still grew less bright—■
It flickered, faded into night!
In childhood, when wo skanned his face,
Ambition had no mark or trace ;
No pride or scorn gleamed from his eye—
A tear was all—a smile or sigh.
In youlh we saw bis bosom heave.
As tho' his tluuglits the heav'ns would cleave
He loved—'twas written in his eye—
And disappointment—was to die.
In manhood meeting war's dark frowns
On battle-fields to light for crowns,
Or toiling up the heights of fame,
To write upon its crest his name.
In age he stands upon a mark.
Surveys the past- the future dark ;
Recounts his deeds—uot good the best.
Shuts his dim eyes, and sinks to rest.

You ask mc how I like this country and the In
people thereof. As to the country, tho land is
cheap as dirt, and good enough ; but the climate
Brainy, blowy, and sultry. The people die so
fast here that every man has his third wife, and
every woman is a widow ! As for the people, they
are perfect Christians ; they fulfill the scripture to
e letter, where it says, 'Let God be true and
every man a liar !' "

If there were many such philosophers as the one
mentioned in lhe following, "fast" boys would be
scarce:
A philosopher lately "kicked the bucket"—that
is, went out of the "pail" of society in Ohio. On
death bed, he was callod upon by Judge Buckram, for tho purposo of ascertaining how he stood
in the way of "effects." "Do you leave auy inheritance for your boys?" " Yes, sir, tho best in*
heriiance in the world—just enough oi' poverty to
keep them out of indolence and dyspepsia for the
remainder of their lives." Having Uttered this, he
turned over on liis side and expired gradually, like
au afternoon in suininef.

•Slate—the densely populated, but iu many respects, unfortunate State of matrimony.
Good Advice.—Somebody say. "if ladiea would
eat Dieat but once a day, pickles once a week, and
sweetmeats once a year, if they would take a
cold bath night and morning, and walk five miles
a day, they would bave no need ot cosmetics, or

BY PBNBON .1. LOSSIN'Q.
During tbe lnvolv,Indian summer time, in tho
autumn of 1608, there was a  marriage'on the
banks of the Powhatan, where the E.glish had laid
the corner stone of Rhi great fabric of Atiplo-Sax
on Empire in the New World. It was cele'irated
iu the second house the English settlers had erected there. Like their first, which fire had devoured
the previous winter, it was a rude structure, whose
roof tested upon rough pine columns, fresh from
the virgin forest, aad wiio.e adorning, were little
indebted to the hand of art. Tlie offi.iating priest
was "good Master Hunter,'' who had lost all his
books by the conflagration. History, poetry, and
song, h-ve kepi a dutiful silence respecting that
first English marriage iu America, because that
•John Laydon and Annie Burrows were common
people. The bridegroom was a carpenter, among
the first adventurers who ascended the Powhatan,
then named James in honor ofa bad king; and
the bride was a waiting-maid to''Mistress Forrest,"
wife of Thomas Fori'.st, gMitleman. Tiie... were
the first white women ever seen at the Jamsstown
settlement.
Almost five year, later, there waa another marriage at old Jamestown, iu honor of which, history,
poetry, and song have been employed. T!i_ bridegroom was •-Master John Rolf, an honest gentleman, aad of a good behavior," from the realm of
England ; and the bride wa_ a princessroyal named Mntao, or Pocahontas, the well-beloved daughter ofthe Emperor of the great Powhatan confederacy, on the Virginia penin.ula. The o____a___ig
priest waa Master Alexander Whitaker, a noble
apostle of Ciiristianity, who went to Virginia lor
the cure of souls. Sir Tliomis Dale, __ren Governor
ofthe colony, thus briefly t. lis his masters of the
Company in Loudon, the story of Pocahontas :—
"Powhfltau'a daughter I caused to be carefully instructed in the Christian religion, who, after she
had made a good progress therein, renounced publicly her couutry's idolatry, openly confessed her
Christian faith, was, as she desired, baptized, and
is since mar.ied to an English geutleman of good
understanding (as by his letter, containing the
reason of his marriage ofher, you m iy perceive,)
another kaot to bind this peace the stronger. Her
father aud friends gave approbation to it, and her
uncle gave her to him iu the church. She-lived
ctvi!Iy and loviu.ly wiih him, and, I trust, will
increase in goodness, as the knowledge of G.od in-
creaseth in her. She will go to England with me,
and, were it but the gaining of this one soul, I
will think my time, toil, and present stay, well
spent."
So discoursed Sir Thomas Palo. Cariosity would
kuow more of the Princess and her marriage, and
curiosity may here be gratified to the extent of the
revolutions of recorded history.
The finger of a special Providence, pointing
down the vista of ages, is seen iu the character
and acts of Pocahontas. She was the daughter
ofa pagan king who had never heard of Jesus ol
Nazareth, yet her heart wag overflowing with the
virtues of a Christian life.
"She was a landscape of mild earth,
Where all was harmony, and calm quiet,
Luxuriant, budding."—Byron.
When Captain Smith, the boldest and the best of
the early adventurers in Virginia, penetrated the
dense forest, ho was made a prisoner was conducted in triumph from village to village, until he
stood in the presence of Powhatan, the supreme
ruler, and was then condemned to die I
Upon the barren Band
A single captive stood ;
Around him come, with bow and brand,
The red-men of the wood.
Like him of old his do.-.m be i.ear_,
Bock-bound on ooeaa'a rim :
The chieftain's daughter knelt in tea_3,
And breathed a prayer for aim.
Above his head in air
The savage war-club swung;
The frantic girl, in wild despair,
Her arms around him flung,
When shook the warriors of the shade,
Like leaves ou aspen-limb—
Subdued hy tliat h.roic maid
Who breathed a prayer for bim.
"Unbind him !" gasped the chief—
"Obey your king's decree!" _
He kissed awuy her tears of grief,
Aad set the captive free.
'Tis ever thus, when in life's storm,
Hope's star to man grows dim.
An angel kneels in woman's form,
And breathes a prayer fir him.
George P. Morris.
How could tbftt Stern old king deny
Tlie angel pleading in her eye?
How mock the sweet, imploring grace
That breathed in beauty from her face,
And to her kneeling action gave
A power to soothe and still subdue,
Until, though humble as a slave,
To more than queenly sway she grew.
Win.;a:.i (X. ..'i-iMS.
The Emperor yieldod to the maid, and the captive was set free
became an angel of deliv_i\.u.c. She b*__W«d bo
Jamestown during a dark and stormy night, in-
Formedth-. Hagfish ofa oooaplraoy to exterminate
tbem, and was back to her couch   beforn dawn.*-'
Smith wa3 grateful, and tho whole Eaglish colony
re;;..ri_.,d heraH thair deliverer. But gratitude is
often a plant of feeble root, aud the .anker of _el.
Qshne=s will destroy it altogether. Smith went
to England; the m.ral of the colonist became depraved ; and Argall, a rough, half piratical navi-a*
tor, unmindful of her character, bribed a Bavage,
by the promise of a copper kettle, to betray Pocahontas into his hands, to be kept as a hostage while
compelling Powhatan to make restitution ior injuries i_l.ic.ed. The Emperor loved his daughter
terderly, agreed to the terms of ransom gladly, and
pTOinl___ unbroken friendship for the Eaglish.
Pocahontas was now free to return to her forest
home. But other bonds, more holy than those of
Argall, detained her. While In the custody of the
rude buccaneer, a natural attachment had budded
and blossomed between her and John Rolf, and the
fruit was a happy marriage—"another knot te
bind the peace" with Powhatan much stronger.
April, in the Virginia peninsula, where the Erg
lish settlers first built a city, is one of the loveliest
months ia the year. Then winter haa bidden a
final adieu to the middle regions of A-nerica; the
robin, the blue-bird, and the oriola, are just giving
the first opening preludes to tho sum nor concerts
in the woods, and wild flowers are laughing merrily in every hedge, and upon the green banks of
every stream.
It was a day in charming April, in 1G13, when
RolfeaudPocahonta. sto.d at the marriage altar
in the new and pretty chapel at Jamestown, w i re
not long before, the bride bad received Christian
baptism, aud was named Lady Rebecca. They' had
marched half way up toward tha meridian, when a
goodly company had aisembled beneath the tem
pie roof. The pleasant odor of the "pews of cedar'1
commingled with the fra ■ nee of the wild flowers
which decked the festoens of evergreens and . pravs
that hung over the "fair, broad windows," and tlie
commsindment tablets above the chancel, Over
the pulpit of black walnut hung garland, of while
flowers, witl the waxen leaves and sc_rlet berries
ofthe holly. The communion table was oovered
with fair white liueu, and bore bread from tho
wheat fields of Jamestown, and wine from its luscious grapes. Tiie font., -'hewn hollow between,
like a canoe," sparkled with water, as on the
morning when the gentle princess uttered her bap-
ti.mal vows.
Of all that company assembled in the broad
apace between tha chancel and the pews, the
bride and groom were the central figures in fac*
and significance. Pocahontas was dressed in a
simple tunic of white muslin, from the looms of
Dacca. Her arms were bare even to the shoulders ; and, hanging loosely towards her feet, was a
robe of rich s...__*. pre..enttui by Sir Thomas Dale,
and fancifully embroidered by herself and her
maidens. A gaudy fillet encircled her head, and
held'the plumage of birds and a veil of ga.ze,
while her limbs were adorned with the simple
jewlry ofthe native workshops. Rolfe was attired
ia the guy clolthing of au English cavalier of that
period, and upon his thigii he wore the short
sword of a gentleman of distinction in society. He
was the personiDcation of manly beauty in form
and Carriage ; she of womanly modesty and lovely simplicity ; and as they came and stood before
the man of God, history dipped her pen in the indestructible fountain of truth, and recorded a prophecy of mighty empires in the New World.,
Upon the chancel steps, where no ratling interfered,the good Whitaker stood iu his sacerdotal robes,
aod, with impressive voice, pronounced the marriage ritual of the clergy ofthe Anglican Church,
then first planted on the Western continent. On his
right, ia a richly carved chair of state, brought
from England, sat the Governor, with hia ever-
attended halberdiers, with brazen helmets, at his
ba_k.
There were yet but few women in the colony,
aud these, soon after this memorable event, returned to native England.   The 'ninety young women.
pure and uncorrupted," whom the wise Sandys
caused to be sent to  Virginia, as wives for the
planters, did not arrive until seven years later.
AU then at Jamestown were at themarriage.    The
letters of the time have transmitted to us the
names of some  of them.     Mistress John Rolfe,
with her child, (doubtltsa of the family of the
bridegroom ;) Mistress Easton and child, and Mistress Horton  and grandchild, with the maid-servant, Elizabeth Parsons, who, on a Christmas eve
before, had married   Thomas Powell, were yet in
Virginia. Among the noted men then present, was
Sir Thomas Gates, a brave soldier in many  wars,
and as brave an  adventurer among the   Atlantic
perili as any who ever trusted to the ribs of oak of
the ships of'Old England.    And Master Sparkes,
who had been co-ambassador with  Rolfe  to ihe
court of Powhatan, Btood near the old soldier,
with young Henry Spilman at his side.    There,
too, was the young George Percy, brother of the
powerful Duke of Northumberland, whose conduct
was always as ncble a. hi.  blood; and near him,
an earnest spectator of the scene," was the eldei
brother of Pocahontas; but not the destined successor to the throne of his father.    There, too, was
a younger brother of the bride, and many youths
aud maidens from the Potest shades ; but one noble figure—the pride of the Powhatan ceiif.d.racy
—the father of the bride,  was absent.    He  had
consented to the marriage with willing veice, but
would not  trust himself within the po-ver ofthe
■English at Jamestown.    lie  remained in bis habitation at Weroworomoco, while the Rosa and
the TorLhMwere being wedded, but cheerfully commissioned his brother,  Opaehisco, to  give tiway
his daughter.    That prince performed his duty
well, and  then, in careless gravity, he eat and
listened to   the  voice of Ihe Apostles,  and the
sweet chanting of the little choristers. The music
ceased, the benediction fell, tbe solemn "Amen "
echoed from the rude vaulted roof, and the joyous
company  left the chapel for lhe f-Btal hall ofthe
Governor.    Thus ''the peace" was made stronger
UiTcagT ofthe  Powhatans,  while tiie Rather of
Poc ibontas lived.
Manths glided away. The bride.'and rr-«a
"iii'vti civilly mid lovingly together." until Sir
Thomas Dale departed for England, lo 1616, when
they, with many settlers, accompontofl htm. T.m-
