■'Lady! he-gives thee back the vow
lit once might call his own ;
For fallen are hU fortunes now,
And all his bright hopes cone.
Now poverty, though peerless maid,
Rest* on his noble brow."
She railed her tearful eyea and said—>
" I love him better now.-'
" Lady! the noble form ye love
Is marred with care and woe ;
The step that once so graceful moved
Is thoughtful, sad, anfl slow.
He rauy not claim his promised bride,
Ho gives you back your vow."'
" I lnv« him stitl.'* she softly Bighed,
" I love him batter now.''
" I love him better now," she said,
'■ Though wcal.h and land are gone,
Than when proud noble homage paid,
Though now he's left aloim
Tell him that tru« love ne'e-Hiath known
Change, when it loved before.
Tell him. the heart that was his own
Is his for evermore."

THE   DEATH   HltlDAl .
" H'to was the scene of the death bridal," said
Herman, as (hey passed a little secluded churchyard, high among the mount alas.
" Whr.t was tbat!" inquired his companion,
whose attention was instantly aroused by anything that promised a legend.
"BathfT a curious story,'' returned Herman ;
" a sort nf revival of some middle age superstition, 1 beiieve, which took place not many years
ago. I hoard uf it from my nurse Id
whe knew all tht parties. Suppose, instead
of pruCeedin* to the town. we stay to-night at
her chalet; It II v -ry little out of our way, nnd
there is a glorious mountain view thence, which
will well repay us."
" The legend   ia an ample   temptation,"   an-
awered Vernon j and ere long they ■•■,■
ing the kind welcome and  cordial hospitality  of
the old peuant.
Supper i went out
in front of the cottage, and watched, with ihe
enjoyment of ai cte ofthe
annaet, on tbe extensive hem.   The
I faded slowly up the **uiowy mountain
summits, and the moon, already high in the
heavens, blended a cold blue lustre with the
warmer tints ■
Marguerite having finished her household labors, came to the door with her knitting ; but it
was not until tiie last gleam of sunset had laded from the sky, that Herman laid :
uerite, will you tell us about the death
'
-Poor Aline!" laid she, sighing, she was ko
young ami fo fair; we had been friends from
the time we could walk or speak. Qlaude was
her cousin, but no one knew how well he loved
her, till he was gone, although he had always
been fond of her ;—but she was tlie favorite of
the whole parish. When Aline was about sixteen, she weut to spend a year with some rtla-
l (iencva.
'• Claude had never told her that ho loved her ;
ht was poor, and many a year moat pasa before
hecould hope to win her. Then they were both
so young, and perhaps he Luivd to try his Cue.
I always think he felt that he was not long for
this world, and he would uot sadden 1;
any grief that he could spare her; or perhaps
mother Agnace was right. Rut she was gone,
and he bad not spoken.
" Before the winter was gone, he died. When
he wag dead they found-on his heart a little case
like those people carry charms in; but it contained a lock of-A line's hair and a flower she
^iad given him the day she went away. We «did
not remove it but laid it with him in the grave-
"In the summer Aline came home. Ah! I
■"shall never forget how lovely she looked that
day. The joy of her return, and our gladness
at seeing her again, had given such life and
bloom tc her eweet face. We talked of one and
another of our friends in the mountains, and of
all ahe had seen and done while away ; but she
never mentioned Claude. At last, as evening
began to fall, she grew restless; Borne of her
friends came in, and among them Claudojs sister. Aline kissed her. Could not Claude have
come with you, after all these months, said she.
" Louise started, and was   silent, but one of
the others said :
11 Did you not know that poor Claude is dead
"My Aline! she uttered but one cry, so long
and bitter that it seemed her life must go with
it, and Bhe fell as if dead.
" It was long before we could bring her to her-
tbe tears standing   in bia eyes, " it is no harm,
and may be her I
" So we arranged all things for the ceremony.
I di cased my poor friend for her strange marriage, all in white, with a long veil and the bridal crown of myrtle and white roses on her
head. She told Father Bernard what she would
have him do, with a quiet composure, strangely
belied by her restless glittering eyes. No one
then living had been at a death bridal, though
aomo of the oldest persons had heard of such
rites being performed, long ago. But she seemed to know, intuitively, how all shot-fid be done.
We formed in procession at the bride's house as
is customary at weddings, and proceeded to the
church-yard ; there she stood at ono side of the
grave, and Father Bernard on the otber. She
had the two bridal rings—one she wore, the
other she placed on the grave—aud kneeling
down, she laid her left hand on the ring.
The priest said a prayer, aud those assembled
sang tho marriage anthem, aud we supposed
I tils would satisfy her; but still kneeling, as
I soon as our voices had ceased, she uttered in a
~ clear, solemn voice, her marriage vows; not in
the usual worda of our service, but in language
eo earnest, so full of pathos, that none of us
could restrain our tears. Then raising up, she
gave the ring that had been on the grave to
the priest, who put it on her hand, taking oii
her own ; they lifted the head stone trcm Ita
place, and sho put her ring beneath it. When
the stone was restored to its place, sho made
me take otf her bridal wreath ; this she hung
over the name of Claude, and slowly returned to
her home.
She seemed feeble   and   exhausted, speaking
little duringjflh day.    At night she called me—
'* Dear Ma^ieritc, he   will come for mc tomorrow ; he ha* promised."
"When the first sunlight came in her room
she opened her eyea—they were calm and peaceful now—and raising her arms, while a happy
smile broke over her face. "Claude!" she exclaimed, and her eyes closed forever while that
bright smile yet Iinger*d on her lips.
'■ We laid her beside him, in her bridal robts,
and every year, when her marriage'day returns
hang above her grave a bridal wreath of myrtle
and whites roses.    Poor Aline!"
" Hippy Aline," sofLly murmured Vernon."

A Lodge of I. 0. O.   F.,  at  Woodatowa, deter
mined to have their lodge room done uji i I
niee ; Lfc-waa resolved aouimousl* that lira. K	
fihould he employed to do this job.
After the meeting adjourned, the guardian, wlio
know tie inquisitive character of Mrs. K., procured a billy-goat,and placed bin in a closet tbat was
kept as a re-ervuir^r the secret things He then
informed the lady ofthe wishes of the lodge, and
requested her to come early next morning, as he
would then he at leisure to show her what was
aud what was not to he done.
Morning came, and then with it, Madame K.
with her broom, brushes, pails, tubs, etc., prepared
aud armed fer the job, and iouud the guardian
waiting for her.
"Now, madam," said ho, "I will tell you whoj
we want done, and how we came to employ you.
The brothers said it was difflsult to get anybody to do the job, and n=t ue meddling with the
secrets iu that little closet; we have lost the key,
and cannot find it to lock the door. I assured
them that you could be depended ou."
" Depended en I" said she, I guess I can. My
poor dead and gone husband, who belonged to thS
Free Sfasoas, or Anti-Masons, 1 don't know which,
used to tell me all the scent-, and When he showed me the marks the grid iron made when he was
initialed, and told ine how they fixed poor Morgan, I never told a living soul to this day; if nobody troubles your closet to find out yeur secrets
till I do,they'll lay there till they rot—they will."
"I thought so," said the guardian, "and now I
want you lo commence in that corner aud gife
the whole room a decent cleaning ; and I have
pledged my word and honor for your fidelity to
your promise. Now, don't go into that closet!"
and then left the lady to-herself.
No sooner bad she heard the sound of his feet
oa the last step ot the stairs, than she exclaimed :
"Don't go into that closet! AVhy what on
earth can there be in tnnt closet? I'll warrant
there is a pig. grid-iron, or some nonsense, jutst
like the Anti-Masons, for dl the world, I'll bo
bound. I will just take one_pnep, aud nobody
will be any the wiser, as I can keep it to myself."
Suiting the action to the word, she stepped
lightly to the forbidden closet, turned the button,
which no sooner done, than ba h ! \v -nt the billy-
goat, with a spring to regain his liberty, which
camenigh upsetting her ladyship. Both-started
for the door,  IvA it wsbfilled with  implements of
oiiug, nnd  all   were  BV
their position, down to the bottom ol (he stairs.
The noise and confusion occasioned by sueh unceremonious coming down stairs, drew half the
town to witness Mrs K.'s efibrts to get frcm
under the goat and pile of pails, tubs, trocms
and brushes, in the Btn -1.
Who should be first on the spot but (he rascally door-keeper, who, after releasing the goat,
which was a cripple for life, and uplifting the
other rubbish that bound the good woman to ihe
earth, anxiously inquired if she had been taking
the degrees?
" Taking tlie degrees!" exclaimed the' lady," If
you call tumbling from the top to the bottom of
iht-stairs, with ihe devil after ye, taking things
by degrees, I have tliem ; aud if ye frighten folks
as bad as ye have me, and hurt to boot, I'll warrant they'll make as much noise as I did."
" I hope you did not open ths closet, madam,"
■aid the door-keeper.
'•Open the closet! Ere ate the apple uhe was
forbidden! If you want a woman to do anything.
tell her net to do it, and she'll do it certain. 1
could not stand ths temptation. The secret was
there—1 wanted to know it—I opeued the door,
and out popped the tarnal critter right into my
face. I thought ihe devil hud in?, aud I broke for
th'tairs with tlie devil bulling me at every
jump. 1 fell over the tub, aud got down stairs as
youfbuud   us—all   in a heap."
'■ But. madam," said the door-keeper, you are
in possession of the great secret oi the OrJer, ami
inut-t go up and be initiated, sworu, and ride the
goat in the regular way.''
" Regular way 1 exclaimed the lady; "and do
you supposed [Vm going near the tarnal place
again, and ride that critten without a bridle and
lady's saddle ? No, neycr! 1 don't want nothing
todo with the man that rides it. I'd look nice
perched ou a billy-goat, wouldn't I? No, no,
never! I'll never go night it again, oryour hall
nuther. If I can prevent it, no lady shall ever
join the Odd'Fwllows. Why, I'd sooner be a
Free Mason, and broiled on a grid-iron as long aa
fire could be kept under it, aud pulled from garret to eel lar, with a halter,iu a pair of old breeches
aud slippers, just as my po», dear husband was!
And he lived over it, loo, Lai 1 Bevef could live
oyer such another rido as 1 took to-day."

Some of the Southern papers are urging the
farmers to put as much of their land as possible to
Wheat seed. The Lynchburg Virginian holds that
wheit seeding iu that State msy be continued as
late as the middle of December, ai excellent wheat
has often been made East of the Bin*) Uidge, from
Qg.    That high and remunerating
grain will prevail next year, lbs
lAider-i beyond i and yet, it
adds, we do not believe trom information received
that an increased breadth of land ut all commensurate with tlie prospective demand for, and price
of breadstufls has been put to teed in this portion
of the State. Taking thu lowest estimuto oi tho
J of grain iu Kugland aud France, the deficit tor the two countries may bo put down at
fifty-two million bushels. As the deficiency myst
be madtt up before the next harvest, the question
arise*, wheneo are these supplies to come? It has
been ascertained tbat toa crops of wheat and rye
throughout the whole  of North   l-iuropo  also are
deficient, und   especially in  the J.ultic proviuevs
and tbe interior  ofGarmaay, where fl.
tbis moment selling at 70s per stek.  Io fact, the
Importations of breadati
and all others, except tht (Jolted
Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Italy aid
Egypt, will hardly ba ann I  ihe defi
ciency of 20,000,000 bust
and the  Bl Ued on for
more than six or seven milllcn bushels, and Italy
—from which the exportation of breadstuffs baa,
■i prohibited—together with Spain, Por.
lugal, Egypt, and the provinces of ihe Danube,
can scareoely do more than furnish tbe l alanee
of thirteen or fourteen millions, of the i
France.    Hence,  giving   the   surplus  from  these
■ources to France, there still ranaloa the vacuum
rid, ranging from a capacity of thirty lo
Cfly millions of bushels, to fill. For thin i-upply
the English importer.- can only look to ihe United
States; and if the supply, >ay forty million
bushels, be obtained from this country. \
send more grain to England than w.is exported in
wheat aad flour to all parta of the woild during
183ft.   Our exportatioai for tbat year,
according to the New York Economist,   amounted
to less than twenty-nine million bushels. The
quota exported to England, according to ihe English Board of Trade returns, waa an average of
976,930 quarters, or less than eight million
bushels per annum, for the eight years from 18i5
to 1853, inclusive.
If then, as ban been assumed, the whole avail*
able surplus exported last year from the United
State* to every part of the world, should .be sup-
pill .1 to England, there of course will still remain
adcficit. And even should we be able to export
this required amount, we Khali be, as ) i
without a surplus for home consumption at the
close of the -season, aud paying for that purpose
sigh as In Liverpool. In conclusion, we
will merely add (he following important fact, as
tated by the Virginian: Our harvest is, on an average, a mouth In advance of the harvest of Europe, ai.d will consequently come in next season
jnst at that period when a deficiency will be most
sensible felt abroad, and, in fact, when prices,
ruled by actual want, must be irrespective of tbe
prospect from English or continental barrests.—

left their husbands within the last six months ;
not lccau.se they were ill-treated by tlieir hus»
