Selections, A TRAGI. WZDDING-DAY. The wedding morning dawned clear and cloudless; and from time immemorial a cloudless sky on a wedding-day has been considered a happy augury for the future life of the couple about . to try the reali- ties of matrimony. The old halls and drawing-rooms of Layton Grange were alive with fair faces ~ silvery sweet on the soft June air, and gay young damsels sang snatches of wedding songs as they flitted up and down the broad stair-case, and through the breezy corridors, in their fleecy dresses. Alicia Layton and Col. Cliff Haughton were to be married. Alicia had been for three years the belle of Waverley, and had been sought in mar- riage full often by many a ea swain, before Col. Haughton came to the village to spend a month's furlough. e was handsome in no ordinary de- gree, for it is a fact, melancholy or other- wise, that the race of handsome men is fast dying out. Well, good sanse is bet- ter in a man than beauty; if notin wo- man. Does anybody dispute me? Let that person look around and tell me if ever he hears a man say anything in favor of a girl's good sense. No, it is her beauty that he harps on--the size of her feet, the curve of her waist, the length of her eyelashes, the bloom of her cheek, and a hundred othér things, but never anything about good sense. Humph! I wonder what a really beautiful girl wants of sense! But this is a digression, and digres- sions in a love story are detestable. Col. Haughton belonged to the regular army, and enjoyed, together with his pay, an annuity from the estate of his father. It was not such a very brilliant match for a woman like Miss Layton, for the man was in many respects decidedly her in- ferior, but she loved him and she made the mistake which women in general seem to have a fatal facility in making--of al- lowing her love to idealise him and make him feel far better than he really was. For awhile after their engagement, Haughton had been most devoted and ry in his attentions, but by and by, after the novelty wore off, he grew, not exactly neglectful, but unobservant. -- He would let Alicia stoop to pick up her own handkerchief, he did not fly to button her gloves; he lefi her sometimes without a good bye kiss. Are these little things! Of course they are. And is not all the beauty and sweet- ness of life and love made up of - listle things? Alicia felt the shange: but she was too proud to complain. hat was not given to her freely and cheerfully she would never ask for. : But a few weeks before this June morn- ing%f which I write, Haughton had be- come more tender by degrees, and at last hurried up the marriage, which at first he had seemed disposed to delay. And here, girls, let me putin a word of advice.-- Always be suspicious of the man who says he loves you, and yet seeks for pretexts to delay your marriage. Depend upon it, there is something wrong in the creature's orgamzation. Not that [ am a friend of hasty marriages--quite the contrary; but 'when man truly luves a woman, and poe- seases her love in return, he will grudge ever hour of this short life im which she is not his own. : Don't you believe it! Then you can do as you like about it. I am not particular. Alicia ought to have been: supremely happy. Every girl in the vicinity envied her. The trousseau was from Paris--the vail of real lace, and the pearl set which her rich uncle had given her was worth a little fogtune. ] ; Still when she came down stairs on this, her wedding morning, her cheek was pale ey J a uk ib th joked her about it--the gay young girls "1 were to be her bridesmaids-- and she smiled the ghost of a smile, and said she had been troubled with dreams. Breakfast waited; for the Colonel and his lady were to leave on the nine a. m. train on their bridal tour. They were to have breakfasted first and be married afterward. Somebody laugh- ingly said that if the ceremony took place first there would be no appetite for break- and graceful forms; laughter rang out. should be safe. 1 kept away from her.-- I thought I would not see her until all dent. It was : gether. Forget me, for I am unworthy of a single thought of yours--forget me and be happy. Unworthily, yours, Cuirre HaveETON. Rudolph flung down the letter, and set his heel upon it with a savage smile. Then he lifted his sister in his arms and carried her up to her chamber. The women gathered around and he left her with them. the horse he always rode, and dashed off violently down the road. And those who knew him shook their heads and said om- inously-- there would be mischief done. He was long out of sight, when Alicia came out of her room, and her first ques- tion was for Rudolph. They would Kave A er, but she would not be put off, and they were forced to tell her that he had probably gone in pursuit of the felse lover. The poor girl was on her feet in an ins- tant. She hurried off her bridal robes, and put on her riding habit--ordering her horse to be saddled, and brought to the door, while she was fastening the buttons. Her composure was something fearful, and the way in which she cast off all those of her friends who would have stayed her, was imperious, "Do not delay. me an instant!" she said. "if he overtakes them there will be blood shed. For he, also, loves Juliet Rae. She was almost betrothed to him. Stand aside, my friends, and pray for me that I may be in season." gentlemen of the party went out to get horses to sccompany her, but she was fly- ing down the road in a cloud of dust be- fore they were half ready to mount. Urging her horse to his utmost speed, the one object of overtaking her brother tives. i Up hill and down dale she never drew rin. Oh, for wings that she might fly, snd not be compelled to that miserable pace! Her horse was ome of the fleetest in the country, and he was doing his very best, but to her exalted imagination, it seemed as if he stood still. him unmercifully with the whip, and a4 3 by th 3 numiak t,the Frightened animal plunged on at a break- neck pace. As she gained the top of a hill where she coufd look far off upon the country lying to the south, she saw in the distance a covered carriage, and not very far be- hind it, a man on a white horse. knew both horse and rider. Intuition if nothing else, would have told her... Seem- ing to catch the wild spirit of his mistress | | to overtake the flying white horse, Alicia's | own animal leaped forward flinging the foam from his nostrils, right and left, and almost as the carriage stopped with Ru- , dolph alongside of it, Alicia's hand was on his arm. She heard the words-- '" And thus I avenge her!" It was Rudolph who spoke, and simul- taneously he discharged one barrel of a re- volver at the breast of Col. Haughton.-- The shot took effect in the Colonel's arm, but he gave no signs of weakness. He said something insulting which Alicia did not understand, but Rudolph did, and quick as thought before she divined his purpose, her bother fired a second time. Poor Juliet had seen the motion and flung herself before her lover just in time to receive the shot! She threw up her hands wildly, turned her great dark eyes on Rudolph's face, and was dead even = fore she looked away}! . The wretched young man contemplated her a moment, andi springing from his horse, he took » step towards the carriage. Col. Haughton was holding to his breast the form of his dead love. " Heaven be merciful! cried Rudolph in agony, 'life is a blank!" 'and drawing the other pistol from his Rocket he put the inst his forehead Alicia rushed to him 4s he fell, but there was no recognition in the glassy eyes he lifted to her face. f Alas! alas! she had been too late! She never knew what was done then, or how they were got hom$, the living and the dy When she came to a pealizing sense of existence, she was lying in her own cham- ber, which was darkened, and smelled of herbs and o es, two Smells peculiar to sick rooms, and always sickening in any room, from association perhaps. Some one sitting by the head of the bed was saying-- ""Itis not possible. If he could have good nursing he might weather it, but what, I ask you, can a doctor do when there is no nursing?" Alicia knew the voice then. It was Dr. Purnell's. And of whom was he talking! She listened a few moments and found out. It was Col. Haughton, who need- ed nursing. His'wound had inflamed, fever and delirinm had set in, and his life was in danger. All the long afternoon she lay there pondering, and when night came she rose and put on her clothes. . Mrs. Buskirk remonstrated, and threat- ened to send for Dr. Purnell, but Alicia gave her no heed. She was going to take care of Haughton. No matter what the world said, a mere, '"they say," should not deter her from doing her duty. And if she could save Haughton's life by her devoted care, might she not thus in some fast; and Mrs. Buskirk, the h k had set forth such a tempting array of dainties that it would be a shocking pity not to do justice to them. The Colonel lodged at the Jackson house--the village hotel, and had to be over half an hour before b ast. And here was the meal ready, and still no impatient brid: m. A half hour , eight o'clock struck. Thg ladies to whisper among themsel and Alicia grew as white s her bridal robes. Rudolph Leyton--her brother; in fact her only living relative-- was very out- spoken in regard to the Colonel's delay, and took no pains to hide his displeasure at his conduct. After a quarter eight he rode over to the Jackson and brought | back a note for his sister. Col. Haughton had gone away that morning bef: broth er? She felt very weak and dizzy, but her resolution Kept her up, and she did not sink under the fatigue which long days and uighs of watching brought her. n all the weary length of that terrible relentless fever she never faltered in kind- ness, faithfulnes; and patience, and when at last, weak and he pless as an infant, Col. Haughton came back to life, she went away by herself and wept. She, under Heaven, had saved him. After he was out of all danger, Alicia went home, and left him to the care of the nurse she had hired. When he was able he came to her house and tried to thank her for what she had done for him who| had deserved only scorn and hatred from her. any one was stirring, and had left a letter for Miss Leyton, which the stable boy was just coming to fetch over. Alicia broke the seal, and read the let- ter to the end without a change of coun- tenance. But when she had finished, it dropped from her nerveless hand, and she slipped to the floor and lay there like one Rudolph seized the paper and read the few heartless words written there.-- Alicia-- : Despise me as I know you will when you have read this--what use is it for me to ask your forgiveness! I thought I lov- ed you, but I made a mistake; I love Juliet Rae. Why She stopped him in the midst of his self- reproaches. 'They would let the past die utterly," she said, "and for the future, their paths lay wide apart." Sohe left her and went away. A year afterward he returned, and pleaded for the love he had once held so lightly, but she did not change countenance, or give any si that the old fountains of feeling were stir- red. "Never mention the subject to me in," she said coldly; " My love for you died the morning that was to have seen me r wife. The ashes are stone coll, and that love there is no resurrection.

A siMPLE, practical test is given in the American Artisan to test the purity of coffee, by which many adulterations of that article can easily be detected, even if the taste is not a sure index. If a teaspoon of genuine ground coffee be thrown into a tunmblerful of coid water it will float upon | the surface. Most substances used in ad- ulterating coffee will sink at once. A rew days ago a writer in the Mail said he had it on very high authority-- the word of Mr. Carruthers himself --that | the latter spent $15,000 to secure hia re- turn at the Kingston election. 'In reply | to this the Whig says:--We ate authorized { by Mr. Carruthers to say that the state- ment is entirely incorrect.

The propelling force is | said to be astonishing. A CaxpipaTE before a county conven- tion in Ohio was out electioneerng, and, stopping at s house on Harris's Prairie, asked: the laly who came to the door if | her husband was at home.

There were s:ven candidates along here { this morning, before he left home, ard. | he promised to vote for every ome of | them." How Loxg!--'f How long does it take to be converted!" | said a young ma to his father. "How long," asked his father, ""does it take the judge to discharge the risonhr when the jury have brought him in ' Not guilty?'" ""Only a minute." -- " When a sinner is convinced that he is a sinner and 1s sorry for it; when he desires forgiveness and deliverance from sin, and | believes that Christ is able and willing to | save him,--he can be converted men. fy | as the prisoner can be discharged by the | judge.

An Ohio Teuton, found guilty of selling liquor contrary to law, and sentenced to be imprisoned in the county jail for thirty days, protested as follows: *'Chail! Go chail! Me go to chail! But I can't go! Dere's my piziness,--my pakery. Who akes my bread, when I ben gone!"-- n casting his eyes about the court- room, appealingly, they fell upon the good-natured face of jolly Chris. Ellwaner, a Jellow countryuats wf had no * pizsi- ness," and forthwith a brilliant idea oc- curred to him. Turning to the Court, he said, in sober earnest: "Dere's Chris. Ellwaner! He's got nothing to do; send him!" 8 During his late visit to the Marmora mines, Professor Bell took ten pounds of '""/dust" from the surface of Mr. Gatling's vein, and washed it himself in the river, obtaining a fine show of gold. This he brought home, melted down and refined, when it yielded 17 grains of fine gold, worth 75 cents, or at the rate of $150 per ton. The Professor assures the Bellevile Intelligencer that this is not an excep- "ional case, as many of the openings which have been made along the vein, both in Mr. Gatling's and Dr. Williams' portions, show equal and even superior richness. The main vein has now been traced across six lots, or over two miles in longitudinal extent. Some wag tells a story to the effect that two young men sailing recently in Dela- ware Bay were overtaken by a squall. -- They had been inside cf Nazareth Metho- dist Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, and knew something of how religious services were As it appeared that their boat was near Apia: " Bill," one said to the other, "this is serious busi- ness, can you pray!"
