"PeAven bless yon, my beloved child !" he murmured, fondly. "But oome," he added, "the carriage is waiting, my love, and our friends are growing impatient. i "Has not Walter been here yet, father?'* inquired the young girl. J D•' T "No," replied her father, "ft is rather strange, but I suppose something has detained him. He will probably meet us at the cburoh." As Bfanche passed down through the group of liveried servants that lined the ball, every one anxious to catch a glimpse of the bride, many a heart blessed ber sweet face, and prayed that all the bright anticipations ils smiles and blushes Shadowed forth might bo realized. Tfl Lord (Jantrof's surprise, the Earl of Kgbarton was not at the ohurch door when they arrived. His brow grew dark with anxiety, though he endeavored to allay the apprehensions of his daughter, whose checks dlterhatcly flushed and paled at her embarrassing position. Just as they were about to return, Lord Cantref noticed » horseman approaching •t a flirious pace, whom he rcoognised as Mr. St. Oroix, the young Earl's cousin.— His clothes were torn and dusty, and his faec pale and haggard, aa he hurriedly alighted from his horse which was covered with sweat uud foam. As his eye fell upon Lady Blanche he hesitated, and casting a significant glanee upon Lord Cantref,beckoned him aside. But this movement did not escape the observation of I/»dy Blanche whose check grew pale from fear. "It is from Walter!" she exclaimed, breaking from her attendants and following her father. "Tell me," she added, wildly, addressing St. Croix, "is he ill—dead ?" "lie calm, my child," said Lord Cantref, soothingly, whose oountenance betrayed great agitation; "the young earl is not dead, oiuy missing. It is to be hoped that lie will yet tc found." ,, Blanche made no reply, but Fall pale and gasping into her father's urns, Who quickly conveyed ber to the carriage. M any of tbd bystanders gathered around St. Croix, anxious to know the cause of this strange Scene. From the narration he gave, they gathered that the earl had disappeared, no pne knew whither. _ That there was no clue to his fate, excepting hia horse, which cuim Ik.mo a tew minutes after iqidnight with dark stains of blood ufwn bit breast and sides. The grief and horror with which St. Croix related these circumstaacrs produced* very favorable impression on those who beard hiu ; for ho was nextDof'kiti to the earl,and upon his death would come dnto possession of the earldom. '. "I—I thought—" stammered the Earl. C '♦You thought me, as you intended me to be, dead I" she said, interrupting him with a still more bitter, laugh. "But, my friend, poiaon does not always kill, even when administered,by po practiced a band as yours. I have many an antidote to such as you gave me on the night of our last meeting;" "You are talking at random, woman," said the Earl, sternly, reeovfering bis selfpossession. "What is it that you want— money?" 1 1 '* "Not for worlds would I touch your gold, Edward St. CtfoiX," exclaimed the gypsy queen, with a haughty gesture; "rod as k is with the blood of the muocent! No, I am come to warn you, man, that the cup of vcngeance is nearly full, that the sword of justice is ready, even now, to descend upon your head ! Go t and instead of fulfilling tho wicked purpose that is in your heart to-night, mount your fleetest steed, and cscape into far country, and there by a life of penitence, strive to retrieve the past!" "Are you mad, womant to address such language to me t". exclaimed the Earl wgrily."Nay, hear me out,'? said the gypsy queen, calmly. "Jo-morrow istobq your bridal day, ia it not, that is to witness your marriage with the beautiful LadyBlanche!"' "ft is," replied her companion, a, grim smile of satisfaction flitting across his facc at the recollection. At these words the man arofte, and throwing back the cloak, revealed a face whidh, though pale and ghastly, bore 4 strong re* Mm bianco to the young Earl's. Then walking deliberately up the aisle, he approached the altar, and fixed bis eyes sternly upon the countenance of the guilty man. When St. Croix's eyes fell upon him, he stood like one transfixed with horror. Then, throwing bis arms wildly above his hesd, as if to protect himself from further approach, he fell heavily to the floor, blood gnshing from his mouth and npstrils. All but one among that horror stricken group supposed it to be the spirit of the unfortnirate Earl, which had returned to take vengeahoe on his murderer, and feared to approach him. But 'Lady Blanche, rushing forward, threw herself wildly upon the bosom of her lover, obtaining convincing proof as she did so, from the warm kisses that fell upou her cheeks and lips, that it was no. ppirit, but her own-Walter. When they lifted St. Croix from the place where he had fallen, they found thatlife had departed. It seems that the wounds given to the young I£a*l were not, as his murderer supposed, mortal. His plunge into the river, instead of tendering bis death certain, restored him to consciousness, and when he1 arose to the surface he made a desperate effort to regain the shore.. In this he would not, probably bays been successful, for he was "very weak from the loss of, blood, had it not been for the gypsy queen, who waacrossing the-river in a boat with some of har followers.— She picked him up, conveyed him to her tent, and, with the most devoted and tender carc, nursed him through the long and dangerous illness that followed. The Earl, on his recovery, became aihrre of his cousin's usurpation of his estates and title, also of his betrothal to tbe Lady Blanche, bat retaining a grateful sense of bis indebtedness to the heroic woman to ,whom he owed hie JiCoD *ud who, in spite of all, still a strong affection for tiia treacherous cousin, he allowed her to warn him, hoping that it would induce him to flee the country, delaying for that purpoae his appearance until the very last moment. ' ,C"r The Treadmill Life.—A good honest soul once said that ''all she wanted when she got to heaven, was to put on a elean apron and sit still." After all, the idea is more profound than funny. Them ate times in every housekeeper's life when this would be the embodiment of Paradise. When the head throbs with planning, contriving, and directing; when every bone aches in the attempt to carry the programme into successful execution; when, bavjng done one's best to draw to a focus all the infinitesimal oobweb threads of management, some new emergency is born of every hist attempt, till every nerve and muscle cries out, with the old woman, for heaven and a clean apron 1 Of course alter a period of oare and we obtain rest, this earth seems after all a very nice place to stay in; but while the fit lasts, no victim of unsuccessful love, or of seasickness, is more Reserving of that which neither ever get jpity. It is well tJiat it. is not the prevailing feeling, else howjjould we all toil and moil, as we do, day after day, fbr six feet of earth to engulf it all at last? It is well that to painstaking mothers and delving fathers, earth seems so real. Wefts it not so, the wheels of this world would stick fkst, of course. - " *i'1' • '» The men would hang themselves because there were three hundred and sixty-4v« daya in a year, and everj morning of all these days they must button their ebiii wristbands. The women would think of nine ekildreU and one at the bfetit, and every one to be worried through the measles, scarlet-fever, chicken pox, and wtywping-cough, whilst Bridget and Betty would incontinently drown themselves at the Aever-endtdg succession of breakftsts, dinner* and suppers* to be gobbled up by the people constantly ringing tbe bell for "more."

Ill-assorted marriages are, in a great number of instances, the result 6'f parental remissness, in not beginning early enough to instill Into th« mind of the child such an aversion to certain moral qualities as s true wisdom would dictate in the premises. It certainly is not an impossible thing to impress the youthful mind witfy an unconquerable rcpugn'sace against * character the most striking trait of which is a contemptible tricky, an abhorrent profknity, 4 httle-souled meanness, or a degraded animalism. Just as well may the young heart JtDq formed Against loving the miser, the spendthrift, and the gamester—against thoso whose prominent exhibitions demonstrate a irascibility, an all-absering selfishness, iff stonyheartedness, or a contempt of honest Ubos, of religion,or of pefcuniary obligation. While our children may be early taught an aversion to such traits of character, their admiration may bo culUvatedfor all that is true and pure and generous, for all who are industrious, diligent, and economical. It is unwise to hope for happiness in the possession of a single, favorable trait of character; it is better to look foil* combination, and they are to be most congratulated who can discern and woo and win the possessor of the largest number of good points. First of all, the man whom yon love, the' woman you adore, should possess a high sense of right and wrong ; next bodily health ; and, thirdly, moral bravery, a courage to be industrious,economical,and self-denying. With these three traits, principle, health, and a soul that can do and dare all that one ought to, domestic felicity willabida. , /,) The Rose of Glen Valley.

Her face waa almost as pale ae was the costly veil, whose ample folds fell uearly to her feet, and it bore the impress of deep seated melancholy. She looked more like a corpse than a bride, and the whole proceeding resembled far more a funeral than a bridal. The bridegroom soon entered, whose haggard countenance indicated t)iat he bad passed a sleepless night. No murmur followed his entrance, even among his own retailors, for he bore no resemblance to the fete Sari, his prcdoceesor, whose affable and engaging manners had. made him a,general favorite. His moroae, unsocial disposition and haughty bearing i»*de him both disliked wid feared. A*he took his place, by Lady Blanche he looked unlike a happy bridegroom j his manner waa abstracted, and his eye wore an anxious and restless expression, and several times he gave a sharp, hurried glance around the church, as if fearing to meet some unexpected guest.
