Hpr father was dead, Slephen, aa she thought, estranged ; and there was no one else in the world who cared whether she Uved or died, exoept myself. I brought her home with me, and waawith her dourly till Mr. Cameron's funeral.— How we got through that time 1 hardly know. Then came the necessary inquiry into bis affairs. He had died, not alto¬ gether poor, but in reduced oircumstan. ces, leaving l^arion an annuity that would scarcely give her the luxuries her Btate ol health required. And where was she to live and what was sbe to do ?— Stephen was the sole executor, the one adviser to whom she could look. He took two days and nights to consider, and then oSTert^d her his hand and home. At hrst she could not believe that his offer arose' from anything hut pity and compassion ; but wben he had told her tbe story of the last few months, and called me to bear witness to it, a great light seemed to come into her eyes, and a wonderful glow of love, Bucl^as I had never seen, over her face. I left them to themselves that entary habita, took a great deal of exer¬ cise, and t knew that be kept laudanum in bis.bedrooh]. At this time my lover was pressing me to marry him, and with much difficulty I conseiited to tell Stephen about it, thoufih Ihad no intention.of.leavjng him.. To my surprise be seemed pleased. X iold him tbat I would never leave him alone, not for all the husbands in the world; but he would not hear me. "I ihink it is your duty to marry him, Margaret," he said. *' You love him and have taught him to love you, and you have no right to sacrifice him to me." "My firat duty is to you, Stephen. I will oot leave you alone.' "I see that I must explain to you," he said, after a pauEe. " When you leave me I shall not be alone." ' "Who will be with you?" I asked, wondering. " Marion." I started as if I bad been shot, for I thought he must surely be mad ; but he continued, quite ealmly and as usual, without emotion— She died at mid day. Till night I did ungiKBED oor.

More than fifteen years ogo my brother Stephen and I lived together in a village about ten miles south of London, where he was in practice as a surgeon. Stephen was thirty t^o, I eighteen. We had no relations but a sister, five or six years old¬ er than myself, and well married in lion don. Stephen was a solitary and aludi- ous man, living somewhat apart from hia neighbors, and standing in almost a fath erly posilion toward me. Throngh the years we have lived together no one had thought of his marrying. Thus it was when the events I have to tell began — The house next to ours waa taken by a Mr. Cameron, a feeble looking man, rather past middle age, with one daughter, named Marion. How shall I describe her, the most beutiful creature I ever aaw t She was perhaps twenty years old—1 never knew preciaely. A tall, slight form, fair complexion, dark chestnut eyes and hair, and an expression more like that of an angel than a human being. Tboueh 1 was much struck with her appearance, Stephen did not seem to notice it; and we might have remained unacquunted with them forever, but that he waa re¬ quired to help Mr. Cameron over an awk¬ ward atile opposite our house. Acquaint¬ ance once made, they aoon grew familiar, front two feelings in common-—a love of tobacco and Swedenborgianism. Many a suthmer evening did they pass, smoking the one and talking the other, Marion Bometitnes joining in, for she generally walked with them, while my chest, which was weak at that time, kept me at home. One day they quitted Stephen at the gate, aud as he eutered the door I said to him: 'How lovely Marion isl I am never tired of looking at her.' 'Look at her while you may,' said he; 'she has not three years to live.' It was only too true. She had some dreadful complaint—aneurism, I think it was—which muat carry her offin the flow¬ er of hor days. Stephen told me that he had consulted the most eniment doctors wilhout getting any hope; and the emo¬ tion, rare enou^^h in him, that he dia- pluyed told me that fae loved Marion, 1 said no word' to him about it. 1 knew better; but 1 saw with what dreadful doubts he waa perplexed. Excitement migbt ahorten Marion's life—such an ex¬ citement as a declaration of love fron him might be of material injury ; and even if it did not prove BO, how could he condemn himself to the prolonged torture of seeing the life of a beloved wife ebb away day by day. Besides, he did not think she cared forhim. I, whohad ffatohed her ceaaeleasly, knew that ahe loved him with her whole heart. He struggled with himself fiercely ; but he won the fight. He left home for some weeks, and returned, looking older and paler; but had learned to mention her name wilhout hia voice quivering, and to touch her hand without holding hia brealh bard. She was pining away under the influence of hia changed manner, and I dared not help my two darlings to bi- happy. Anjuneipected aid soon came; Ur. Cameron, who was ia bad health of my room and told me all—nothing, in fact, but what I knew long before. In their case there will be litlle cause for delay. Trousseaux were not the import¬ ant motters in my day that they are in my grand-children's, and Marion waa mar¬ ried to Stephen, in ber black gown, with¬ in a month ofher father's funeral. The next feiv montbs were a happy time for all of us. Marion's health im¬ proved greatly. The worried, frightened look she used to wear left her face as she reoovered from the depression caused by her constant anxiety about her father, and the losa of rest she suffered in at^ tending upon him at nighl. It seemed aa if she was entirely recovering; and Stephen, if he did not lose fears, at least was not constantly occupied with them. How happily we used to look forward to the future, for Stephen was beginning to save money; and how many were nor day dreams about professional eminence for him, and fashionable life in London, partly from Marion, but mostly for me. I bave tried fashionable life in Landon since, but I never found it so happy as our days in that dear old Surrey village. Well, our happy time did not last long. Marion caught a cough and cold as the winter came on, and was soon so ill as to be taken to London for advice. Stephen came back alone, with a weary, deathly looking face. Marion had broken a small blood vessel on the journey—not any¬ thing serious in itsplf,bui ominous. They were to go to a warmer climrte—not a day to be lost. Sorrowfully I packed up the necessary things and went with Ste¬ phen to London next day to aay good-by to Marion, who had been forbidden to go home. The same afternoon they were on board a trading vessel bound to Leghorn. Luckily Marion was a good sailor and well uaed to ships, for she had made more than one voyage to Maderia with her father. Muoh as I wished to go with them, and much as they wiahed it, too, it tfOB out of the question. Stephen ha-j saved hnt little money, and could hardly see how he and Marion were to Uve; un¬ less he could make himself a practice somewhere among the English abroad, and his taking me also was not to be thought of. I waa to live for the present with my married sister. It was very sore to part with Stephen, with whom I had lived all my life; it was almost sorer still to part with Marion, who had been more than a aiater to me ever aince I saw her. Stephen and I were uearly ovt rcome with emotion, but she was calm and silent, with an intent wiat ful look about her face that haa haunted me all my life since. I shut my eyes, Ihough it is full fifty years ago^ Need I say that I never aaw her again ? I went to my sister's house and began the [aahionable life I used to wish for. It was not all that I hnd pictured it, thongh it wns pleasant enough to occupy me dur ing t le daytime; but at night I longed 3.idly ibr my darlings. Stepben wrote letters full of hope, and t.alked of reluming after spending two years in Italy. Marion, too, wiote favor¬ ably of heraelf, and my anxiety began to lessen. There was another reaaon for this at the same fime—my late husband, the friend and partner of my sister's husband, was at that time beginning to pay his ad¬ dresses to me, and the tender troubles of my own case made me careless of others. Summer came round again, and one day, as I was half wishing for my country home again, aletter arrived from Stephen. Ma- rions complaint was at a crisis, and a great cbange would take place, one way or the other, in a few days. I was to go bome, put the place in order, and be ready to receive them. I did not know lill afterwards that Marion bad begged to be allowed to die at home, if the change was for the worse; if it had been for the better, there would have been no reason for ataying abroad. Well, I went home, arranged every¬ thing and waited for them. Three weeks pasaed (the usual interval) and no letter; a month—and I aupposed they were trav¬ eling alow to avoid fatigue. On the day five weeks I had reoeived the last letter, I was sitting alone, rather late in the eve¬ ning, when a quick step sounded in the road outside, and Stephen came to the gate, opened it, entered the house, and sat down in silence. He was dressed as uaual, and looked tired and travel-stained, but there was no sorrow in his face, and I felt sure that Morion must be safe. "I asked him where she was. He said she was nut with him. "Have you left her in Italy 1" I asked. "She is dead," he answered, without a shadow of emotion. "How? Where?" I waa beginning to question him, but he stopped me. "Give me something to eat and drink," he said. "I have walked from London, and I want to sleep." I brought bim what he wanted. He bade me good night; and as I aaw he wiahed it, I left him and went to bed, full of grief, but even more of wonder that he, who truly loved hia wife if ever man did, could sjeak of ber not a month alter her death witbout his voioe alterhig or his face changing in the least. "To¬ morrow will solve tlie question," I aaid to myaelf, as, weary with crying, I felt sleep coming over me. But to-morrow did not solve the question. He told me as before, without emotion, what he wished me to know, and from that moment we spoke no more on the snbjent. In every respect but this, be was iny own Stephen of old—aa k ind and thought¬ ful as ever, only altered by a rather ab¬ sent and abstracted manner. I thought at first that he was stunned by his loss, and would realise it most painfully after¬ wards ; but months passed on without a change. Hu used Marion's chair, or things of her work, or sat opposite to her drawings, without seeming to notice them; indeed, it waa as if Bhe had dropped out of his life entirely, and left bim as he waa before he knew her. The only differ¬ ence was, that he, naturally aman of eed- broken and dying myaelf; but at last, irSOIBTHEBOI). I saw the yonng bride, in :her beauty and pride, Bodeok'd in her snowy array; And the bright flush of joy mantled high on her cheek, Att'l the future looked bl''oming snd goy: And with Woman's devotion sbe laid ber fond , ' - beart. ...

But the Hosier waa there, pouring balm on her heart, And wiping tbe tears from ber eyes, And he strengthen'd the chain he bad broken in twain. And fasten'd it firm to the skies! There had whisper'd a voice—'twas the voice of her God,, "I love thee—Hove thee—^asa unier the rod.'* I saw the yonng mother in tenderness bend O'er tbe conch ofher slnmbeiing boy, And ehe kiss'd tfae soft lips as tfaey murmur'd her name.

The next night she came again, and from that time to this has never failed me. Then I felt that it- was my duty to leave; that if my life was valueless to myaelf, it was not so to you. So I cime home. I dare say it is only a freak of my imagination. Perhaps I even produce an illusion by an effort of my will; but however that is, it has saved me from going mad or killing myaelf. How doea ahe come ? Always as ahe was in that first summer that we spent here, or iu our early time in Italy ; always cheer* ful and beautiful; always alone; always dresaed as she uaed to dreas, talking aa she used to talk—not an angel, but her¬ self. Sometimes we go through a whole day of pleaaure; aometimes ahe only comes and goes; but no night has ever yet been without her, and indeed I think" that her visits are longer and dearer as I draw nearer to her side again. I some¬ times ask myself which of my two Uvea is the real one. I ask myself now, and can. not answer. I ahould think that the other WHS, ifit were not that while I am in this I recollect the otber, and while I am in the other I know nothing beyond. And this is why my aorrow is not like that of others in my position. I know that no night will pass without tay seeing her; for my heolth ia good enough, and I never fail lo sleep. Sleepleasnesa ia the only earthly evil I dread, now you are provided for. Do not think me hard to you in not baving told you of thia before. It is too sacred a thing to be spoken of without necessity. Now write to your huaband that is to be, and tcll him to come here." I did 80, and the preparations for my marriage began. Stephen was very kind, but his thoughts wandered further and further day by day. I spoke to a doctor, a friend of his, about him, but it seemed that nothing really ailed him. 1 longed, almost to pain, to ask him more about Marion; but he never gave me an oppor¬ tunity. If I approached the subject he turned the talk in another direction, and my old habita of submission to him pre¬ vented me Irom going on. aucu uome my wedding day. Stephen gave me away, and sat by my side at the breakfast. He seemed to hang over me more tenderly than ever, as he put me into the carriage and took leave ot me. The last thing I did aa I leaned out ot the carriage window was to tell him to be aure to be my first visitor in my own home. " No, Margaret," he said, with a sad smile. " Say good-bye to me now; my work is done." Scarcely understanding what he said, I bade him good-bye, and it was not till my husband asked what he meant that I remembered his strange look and accent. I then felt half frightened about him; but the novelty of my first visit abroad made me forget my fears. Thn reat is soon told. The first letter I reoeived from Eogland said that on the very morning after my marriage he had been found dead and cold in his bed. He had died without pain, the doctor aaid, with his right hand clasping his left arm above the wrist, and holding firmly, even in death, a circlet of Marion's hair. Bnt I Faw wben sfae gazed on the same lovely form. Pale as marble and silent, and cold, Bntpaler and colder ber beautiful boy, - And tbo tale of her sorrow was told! But tbe Healer was there wfao had stricken ber heart. And takon her treasure awsy; To allure her to Heaven ho has placed it on high, Aod tfae mourner will sweetly obey.

And its pathway grew smooth to their feet, And tfao starlight of lovo glimmer'd bright at tfao end. And the whispers of fancy were aweet And I saw them again, bending low o'er the grav® Where their hearts' dearest hope had been laid, And the star had gone down in tho darkness of nigbt. And tfae joy from their bosoms had fled. But tbe Healer was there, and his arms were nrouDd, And be led tfaem witfa tenderest care; And he show'd tbom a star iu tbe bright upper world, 'Twia their star shining brilliantly there! Tbey had each hoard a voice—'twas tbe voice of "Ilovetfaee—I lovo thca—paen under the rod.' SLEEP—ITS IMPOETANCE. There is no faot more clearly eatablish¬ ed in the physiology of man than this, that the brain expends its energies and itself during lho hours of wakefulness, and that these are recuperated during sleep ; if the recuperation does not equal the expenditure, the brain withers; thia leads to insanity. Thua it is that, in early English hiatory. persons who were condemned to death by being prevented from sleeping, always died raving maniacs ; thus it is also, that those who are atarved to death first be come insane^; the brain is not nouriahed, and they can not sleep. Craay peraons are poorsleepe'S, while good sleepers sel¬ dom become crazy. The practical infer¬ ences are these: 1st. Thoae who think most, who do moat brain work, require moat Bleep. 2d. That time saved from necessary aleep ia infallible destruetive to mind, body .ind estate. 3d. Give yourself, your children, your servants—give all that are under you— the fullest amount of sleep they will take, by compelling them to go to bed at some regular early hour, and to rise in the mor¬ ning at a stated hour, and within a fort¬ night, nature, with almost the regularity of the rising sun, will unloose the boiida of sleep the moment enough repose haa been secured for the wants of tbe ayatem This is the only safe and sufficientrule; and as to the question how much sleep any one requires, each must be a rule for himself; great nature will never fail to write it out lo the obaerverunder the reg¬ ulations just given.—Phrenological Joumai, VoL9.4R People —" Those are not vul¬ gar people," sayaBante, " merely because tbey live in small cottages, lowly places; but those are vulgar who, by their thoughts and deeds, atrive to shut out any view' of beauty." There are vulgar rioh men as well as vulgar poor men. Being poor is not of itself a disqualification for being gentleman. To be a gentleman is to be elevated above othera in aentiment rather than situation; and the poor man, with an enlarged and pure inind, may be hap¬ pier, too, than his rich neighbor without thia elevation. Let the former only look at Nature witb an enlightened mind. "A mind that can see and adore tbe Creator in his worka, oan consider them >>s de monstrations of bia power, his wiadom LITXLls GIRLS. I cannot will imagine a home more in¬ complete than that one whera there ia no litlle girl to stand in the void of the do¬ mestic circle which boys can never fill' and to draw all hearts within the magic ring, ofher presence. Thereis something about little girls which is eapecially love¬ able; even thtir wilful, naughty waya seem utterly void of evil when tbey are 80 soon followed by the aweet penitence tbat overflows in such gracious showers Your boys are great, noble fellows, gen¬ erous, loving, and full of good impulses, but they are noisy ani demonstrative, and dearly aa you love them, you are glad their place is out of doors; but Jennie, with her light step, is alwaya beside you ; she brings the slippers for papa, and with bar pretty dimpled fingers unfolds the paper for him to read; she puts on a thimble no bigger tban a fairy's and with, aome very mysterious combination of " doll rags," fills up a small rocker by mamma, with a wonderlul aasumption of womanly dignity. And who' shall tell how the little thread of speech that Hows with such sweet, silvery lightness from those innocent lips, twines itself around the mother's heart never to ruat, not even when the dear little face ia hid among tbe daiaiea, aa ao many mothers know. But Jennie grows to be a woman, and there is a long and ahining track from tbe half latched door of childhood till the girl blooms into the mature woman.— There are the brothers who always lower¬ ed their voicea when they talk to their sister, and tell of the sports in which she takes almost as much interest aa they do, while in turn she instructs them in all the little minor details of home life, of which they would grow up ignorant it not for her. And what a shield she is upon the dawning manhood wherein so many temptations lie. Always her aweet pre sence to guard and inspire them, a check upon profanity, a living sermon on im' morality. How fragrant tha cup of tea she hands them at the evening meal; how cheery her voice as she relates the little incidents of the day. No ailly talk of incipient beaux, or love of young men met on the promenade. A girl like that has no empty space in her head for auch thoughts to run riot in, and you don't find her apending the evening in the dim parlor with a questionable young man for her company. When her lover comea he mnat say what he has to say in the family sitting- room with father and' mother, or, if ashamed to, there is no room foi him there. Jennie's young heart haa not been filled by the pernicious nonaense whiuh resulta in ao many unhappy marriages or faasiy divorces. Dear girl, she thinks all thetime of what a good home ahe has, what dear brothers, and on bended knees craves tbe blessings of Heaven to rest on them, but ahe does not know how far, very far for time and eternity, her own pure example goes, bow it will radiate as a blessing into other homes where a sia¬ ters memory will be the consecrated ground of the post. Cherish, then, the little girla, dimpled darlinga, who tear their aprons, and cut the table-cloths, and eat the sugar, and are themselves the sugar and salt of life. Let them dress and undress their doll babies to their heart's content, and don't tell them Tom Thumb and Eed Biding Hood are fiction, but leave them alone titl they find it out, which they will all too aoon. Answer all the funny queationa they ask, and don't muke fun of their A HAS OF SYMPATHY I am a man of sympathy. The misfor¬ tunes of my fellow mortals have always moved me with pity, their wrongs with indignation, and their happiness with gladness. Thua .froni; the days-of-my childhoc^{|iay^my &i^uiai))'auiB»ihto my sympathizing ear the stories of their grief, anger and joy, always sure to awa¬ ken in my breast kindred emotions. How often when at boarding .scliool hnve my comrades beaeeched me to conceal in my room the aack of apples which they were suspected of stealing; and how olten, when the sack of apples was discovered have I in durance vile, smarting from tho effecta of ratan—heaped imprecations up¬ on that fruit so produotivo of wo to the human raoe, from our grandmother Eve down to the sympathizing schoolboy, Samuel Wilkins. When Dick oame to me with a graphic account of Tom's tyranny, my heart be¬ came brimfull of indignation, and when, an hour or two later, Tom came to me with a graphic account of Dick's mean¬ ness, how my contempt found vent in words only less vehement than thosa of Tom'a, and how the next day—Tom and Dick having become fast friends again, and having administered to me a sound thrashing for my "doubled-laced bypoc¬ rioy"—did 1 deplore my sympathizing na¬ ture. It is a matter of no little wonder to me that I have found, throughout my life, ao many friends involved in peouniary diffi¬ culties, who confide to me their misfor. tunes in auoh heartrending terms that I at last fairly implore them to make use of my purse as if it were their own—which request they have so literally complied with, that I have never received a oent of the money back. And now, although it may pain me ex¬ cessively to enter into the details of the great misfortune of my life, yet for the warning of all young men who like my¬ self are possessed of a soul easily moved to pity, I will do violence to my own feel¬ ings and relate as calmly as possible the sorrowful event. I was devoted to Miss Brown, and al¬ though naturally modest, fluttered my¬ self that I did not altogether waste my affections on the desert air- On the eve¬ ning of the 25lh of June, IS—(I shall never forget the date,) I nerved myself and directed my stepa to the residence of Mias Brown, resolved to end my auapenae and offer my heart, etc., eto. But Mias Brown waa not at home. As I aorrowl'uUy wended my way homeward, I passed the residence of Miss Eobinson, a young lady who was fast approaching that dubious period denominated a "certain age." My evil genius prompted me to enter. I found Miss Eobinson app.-irently sunk to the deepest deptli of despair and weep ing. Profoundly moved, I approached and implored her to eoiiGrle to me the cause of her grief, so lhat if I oould not aseuage it, I might at le.ist mourn with her. She at firat refused, but at last mov¬ ed by entreaties, in broken iitleran'^e lold me the story of her woe. Mr. Codringlon having ensnared ber youth lul affection.-, and having repeatedly ,-iVQwed his love, now had ceased oalliog on her, and was paying great attenlion to -Miss Brown. - My first impulse was to pi-iicecd immed: ately to castigate the br-atiieii, Mr. Cod¬ ringlon, but remembering Ihnt he was re¬ ported to be an adept iu liie mnnly nrt, I teTSgT^-B"l^°^A™'i"* •""'^Plf'^•itli mut- "—to act thua toward a young and help¬ less orphan !" she cried. "Weep not," I said consolingly; "1 will be your father, mother, brother, hus¬ band." Ah!" she exclaimed, sinking upon my shoulder. At tbis moment Ihe dow opi-nod, and Miss Eobinson's oluc-r.biollit-r entered. 1 rose, and Miss Eobinson, wilh tlie great¬ est sang froid, said: "Augustus. I believe you nre already acquainted with Mr. Wilkins, but let me introduce him as your future brother-in- law." I stood struck with amazement as he grasped my hand. " Ur. Wilkins," he exclaimed, "I know of no person I would prefer to you as a brolher." ¦' But " I endeavored to explain. " One who possesses so maoy qualities of the head and heart to mnke himself beloved by all hia friends," he continued. " But really " I again commenced, when a gentleman entered the apartment. "Mr. Smith—Mr. Wilkins." I glared furiously at tho individual who had thua interrupted mo by his untimely visit. He drew b.ick timidly, and shrank into a chair, " My future brother, Au. gustus," aoon after left. I am convinced that Misa Eobinaon must have pasaed a very pleasant evening. Mr. Smith evi¬ dently endeavored to be very agreeable, but, in the midst of a sentence, his eye would catch mine fixed upon him with an expression of intense hatred—the aen¬ tenee ended in an indistinct murmur, and he moved his chair farther from me. I endeavored to speak; but my tongue clave to the roof of my moulh. Thus we sat in silence, only broken by convulsive but vain attempts at conversation, while hour after hour passed by. I was deter¬ mined not to depart until I had had an explanation with Miss Bobinson, but Mr Smitb, his countenance strongly expres¬ sive of embarrassment and fear, sat im¬ movable. I at last gavo up the contest and, bowing dubiously to Miss Bobinson, stiffly to Mr. Smitb, loft the house. How I hated that man! I havo sinco learned that he thought I was an escaped lunatic, and was determined not to leave Misa Eobinaon unprotected. No worda cun portray the agony I ex perienced for the next day and night, as I sat in my room contriving meana to es¬ cape from my involuntary engagement. But no plan presenled ilaelf, and, unable to bear the solitudeany longer, on theeve¬ nlng of the 27th I called on Mias Brown. She was "not at home." JTor four suc¬ cessive evenings I was sent despairing from her dear, but on the fifth I was ad¬ mitted. Miss Brown greeted we warmly, and introduced me to Mr. Codrington. I was hardly sealed before she commenced to congratulate me on my approaching mairiage with Misa E jbinson. In vain did I attempt to deny it. Misa Crown said sbe bad it on good authority, and laugh¬ ingly asserted that it was always the way, but she thought it was nonsense to make any secret of it, and finished the sentence with an expressive glance at Mr. Codring¬ ton, whioh individual's vacant counte¬ nance waa immediately illumined with a conceited aimper. I could stand it no longer, and hurriedly left. Oo entering my gloomy domicil, I found a note awaiting me, running tbus: "Mr. Wilkixs: Your oonduct is infa¬ mous. My brother thrc.-iiens to horse¬ whip you, but 1 bave restrained him, and LBBAL NOTICEB. Ag CTJIAg lOVB STOSY.

" And. his the thing a waist ?" said he, with a very innocent expression of coun¬ tenance. •'Certainly replied one of the old sea dogs, tipping ihe wink to the other. *• Well, now, I thought it mighty quare, whin I heard them calling a thing made in wood and jiron, wid a man's name * she;' and nov?, bedad, there's a waist on her." Soon after this, meeting with head wiudg, they attempted to tack ship ; this, on account of a heavy head aea, they could not do the first time, and the ship, at it is called, " missed in stays." Our friend, coming on deck, and seeing the business and confusion attendant on such occasions, wa^ anxious to know "what was the matter." "Missed in stays," said the same gruff old lar, who bad answered his former question. •'Missed her stays? Powers in mud, what next? Why she must be a living thing.

when wo first saw him, died saddenly,— Poor Marion's grief was terrible to see. Hpr father was dead, Slephen, aa she thought, estranged ; and there was no one else in the world who cared whether she Uved or died, exoept myself. I brought her home with me, and waawith her dourly till Mr. Cameron's funeral.— How we got through that time 1 hardly know. Then came the necessary inquiry into bis affairs. He had died, not alto¬ gether poor, but in reduced oircumstan. ces, leaving l^arion an annuity that would scarcely give her the luxuries her Btate ol health required. And where was she to live and what was sbe to do ?— Stephen was the sole executor, the one adviser to whom she could look. He took two days and nights to consider, and then oSTert^d her his hand and home. At hrst she could not believe that his offer arose' from anything hut pity and compassion ; but wben he had told her tbe story of the last few months, and called me to bear witness to it, a great light seemed to come into her eyes, and a wonderful glow of love, Bucl^as I had never seen, over her face. I left them to themselves that
entary habita, took a great deal of exer¬ cise, and t knew that be kept laudanum in bis.bedrooh].
At this time my lover was pressing me to marry him, and with much difficulty I conseiited to tell Stephen about it, thoufih Ihad no intention.of.leavjng him.. To my surprise be seemed pleased. X iold him tbat I would never leave him alone, not for all the husbands in the world; but he would not hear me.
"I ihink it is your duty to marry him, Margaret," he said. *' You love him and have taught him to love you, and you have no right to sacrifice him to me."
"My firat duty is to you, Stephen. I will oot leave you alone.'
"I see that I must explain to you," he said, after a pauEe. " When you leave me I shall not be alone." ' "Who will be with you?" I asked, wondering.
" Marion."
I started as if I bad been shot, for I thought he must surely be mad ; but he continued, quite ealmly and as usual, without emotion—
She died at mid day. Till night I did
ungiKBED oor.
Let me lie doTra, Just here !a the shades of the consoQ tom tree, Here^ loir ia tbe trampled grftES, wbere I may seo The surges ofthe combat; and whtre I may hear The gUd cry of victory, cheer upon cheer.
Let me lie down.
Oh, it was grand Like tbo tempest we cbarged, in the triamph to
share; The tempest—its fury and thunder was tbere; On, on, o'er tbe entrenchments over living and V dead.

TWO UVfia IS OHE,
A sister's STOUY DF A BROTHEE.
More than fifteen years ogo my brother Stephen and I lived together in a village about ten miles south of London, where he was in practice as a surgeon. Stephen was thirty t^o, I eighteen. We had no relations but a sister, five or six years old¬ er than myself, and well married in lion don. Stephen was a solitary and aludi- ous man, living somewhat apart from hia neighbors, and standing in almost a fath erly posilion toward me. Throngh the years we have lived together no one had thought of his marrying. Thus it was when the events I have to tell began — The house next to ours waa taken by a Mr. Cameron, a feeble looking man, rather past middle age, with one daughter, named Marion. How shall I describe her, the most beutiful creature I ever aaw t She was perhaps twenty years old—1 never knew preciaely. A tall, slight form, fair complexion, dark chestnut eyes and hair, and an expression more like that of an angel than a human being. Tboueh 1 was much struck with her appearance, Stephen did not seem to notice it; and we might have remained unacquunted with them forever, but that he waa re¬ quired to help Mr. Cameron over an awk¬ ward atile opposite our house. Acquaint¬ ance once made, they aoon grew familiar, front two feelings in common-—a love of tobacco and Swedenborgianism. Many a suthmer evening did they pass, smoking the one and talking the other, Marion Bometitnes joining in, for she generally walked with them, while my chest, which was weak at that time, kept me at home. One day they quitted Stephen at the gate, aud as he eutered the door I said to him: 'How lovely Marion isl I am never tired of looking at her.'
'Look at her while you may,' said he; 'she has not three years to live.'
It was only too true. She had some dreadful complaint—aneurism, I think it was—which muat carry her offin the flow¬ er of hor days. Stephen told me that he had consulted the most eniment doctors wilhout getting any hope; and the emo¬ tion, rare enou^^h in him, that he dia- pluyed told me that fae loved Marion, 1 said no word' to him about it. 1 knew better; but 1 saw with what dreadful doubts he waa perplexed. Excitement migbt ahorten Marion's life—such an ex¬ citement as a declaration of love fron him might be of material injury ; and even if it did not prove BO, how could he condemn himself to the prolonged torture of seeing the life of a beloved wife ebb away day by day. Besides, he did not think she cared forhim. I, whohad ffatohed her ceaaeleasly, knew that ahe loved him with her whole heart. He struggled with himself fiercely ; but he won the fight. He left home for some weeks, and returned, looking older and paler; but had learned to mention her name wilhout hia voice quivering, and to touch her hand without holding hia brealh bard. She was pining away under the influence of hia changed manner, and I dared not help my two darlings to bi- happy. Anjuneipected aid soon came; Ur. Cameron, who was ia bad health
of my room and told me all—nothing, in fact, but what I knew long before. In their case there will be litlle cause for delay. Trousseaux were not the import¬ ant motters in my day that they are in my grand-children's, and Marion waa mar¬ ried to Stephen, in ber black gown, with¬ in a month ofher father's funeral.
The next feiv montbs were a happy time for all of us. Marion's health im¬ proved greatly. The worried, frightened look she used to wear left her face as she reoovered from the depression caused by her constant anxiety about her father, and the losa of rest she suffered in at^ tending upon him at nighl. It seemed aa if she was entirely recovering; and Stephen, if he did not lose fears, at least was not constantly occupied with them. How happily we used to look forward to the future, for Stephen was beginning to save money; and how many were nor day dreams about professional eminence for him, and fashionable life in London, partly from Marion, but mostly for me. I bave tried fashionable life in Landon since, but I never found it so happy as our days in that dear old Surrey village. Well, our happy time did not last long. Marion caught a cough and cold as the winter came on, and was soon so ill as to be taken to London for advice. Stephen came back alone, with a weary, deathly looking face. Marion had broken a small blood vessel on the journey—not any¬ thing serious in itsplf,bui ominous. They were to go to a warmer climrte—not a day to be lost. Sorrowfully I packed up the necessary things and went with Ste¬ phen to London next day to aay good-by to Marion, who had been forbidden to go home. The same afternoon they were on board a trading vessel bound to Leghorn. Luckily Marion was a good sailor and well uaed to ships, for she had made more than one voyage to Maderia with her father. Muoh as I wished to go with them, and much as they wiahed it, too, it tfOB out of the question. Stephen ha-j saved hnt little money, and could hardly see how he and Marion were to Uve; un¬ less he could make himself a practice somewhere among the English abroad, and his taking me also was not to be thought of. I waa to live for the present with my married sister.
It was very sore to part with Stephen, with whom I had lived all my life; it was almost sorer still to part with Marion, who had been more than a aiater to me ever aince I saw her. Stephen and I were uearly ovt rcome with emotion, but she was calm and silent, with an intent wiat ful look about her face that haa haunted me all my life since. I shut my eyes, Ihough it is full fifty years ago^ Need I say that I never aaw her again ?
I went to my sister's house and began the [aahionable life I used to wish for. It was not all that I hnd pictured it, thongh it wns pleasant enough to occupy me dur ing t le daytime; but at night I longed 3.idly ibr my darlings.
Stepben wrote letters full of hope, and t.alked of reluming after spending two years in Italy. Marion, too, wiote favor¬ ably of heraelf, and my anxiety began to lessen. There was another reaaon for this at the same fime—my late husband, the friend and partner of my sister's husband, was at that time beginning to pay his ad¬ dresses to me, and the tender troubles of my own case made me careless of others. Summer came round again, and one day, as I was half wishing for my country home again, aletter arrived from Stephen. Ma- rions complaint was at a crisis, and a great cbange would take place, one way or the other, in a few days. I was to go bome, put the place in order, and be ready to receive them. I did not know lill afterwards that Marion bad begged to be allowed to die at home, if the change was for the worse; if it had been for the better, there would have been no reason for ataying abroad.
Well, I went home, arranged every¬ thing and waited for them. Three weeks pasaed (the usual interval) and no letter; a month—and I aupposed they were trav¬ eling alow to avoid fatigue. On the day five weeks I had reoeived the last letter, I was sitting alone, rather late in the eve¬ ning, when a quick step sounded in the road outside, and Stephen came to the gate, opened it, entered the house, and sat down in silence. He was dressed as uaual, and looked tired and travel-stained, but there was no sorrow in his face, and I felt sure that Morion must be safe. "I asked him where she was. He said she was nut with him. "Have you left her in Italy 1" I asked. "She is dead," he answered, without a shadow of emotion.
"How? Where?" I waa beginning to question him, but he stopped me.
"Give me something to eat and drink," he said. "I have walked from London, and I want to sleep."
I brought bim what he wanted. He bade me good night; and as I aaw he wiahed it, I left him and went to bed, full of grief, but even more of wonder that he, who truly loved hia wife if ever man did, could sjeak of ber not a month alter her death witbout his voioe alterhig or his face changing in the least. "To¬ morrow will solve tlie question," I aaid to myaelf, as, weary with crying, I felt sleep coming over me. But to-morrow did not solve the question. He told me as before, without emotion, what he wished me to know, and from that moment we spoke no more on the snbjent.
In every respect but this, be was iny own Stephen of old—aa k ind and thought¬ ful as ever, only altered by a rather ab¬ sent and abstracted manner. I thought at first that he was stunned by his loss, and would realise it most painfully after¬ wards ; but months passed on without a change. Hu used Marion's chair, or things of her work, or sat opposite to her drawings, without seeming to notice them; indeed, it waa as if Bhe had dropped out of his life entirely, and left bim as he waa before he knew her. The only differ¬ ence was, that he, naturally aman of eed-
broken and dying myaelf; but at last,

she came to rae in mv dreams and told me to be comforted. The next night she came again, and from that time to this has never failed me. Then I felt that it- was my duty to leave; that if my life was valueless to myaelf, it was not so to you. So I cime home. I dare say it is only a freak of my imagination. Perhaps I even produce an illusion by an effort of my will; but however that is, it has saved me from going mad or killing myaelf. How doea ahe come ? Always as ahe was in that first summer that we spent here, or iu our early time in Italy ; always cheer* ful and beautiful; always alone; always dresaed as she uaed to dreas, talking aa she used to talk—not an angel, but her¬ self. Sometimes we go through a whole day of pleaaure; aometimes ahe only comes and goes; but no night has ever yet been without her, and indeed I think" that her visits are longer and dearer as I draw nearer to her side again. I some¬ times ask myself which of my two Uvea is the real one. I ask myself now, and can. not answer. I ahould think that the other WHS, ifit were not that while I am in this I recollect the otber, and while I am in the other I know nothing beyond. And this is why my aorrow is not like that of others in my position. I know that no night will pass without tay seeing her; for my heolth ia good enough, and I never fail lo sleep. Sleepleasnesa ia the only earthly evil I dread, now you are provided for. Do not think me hard to you in not baving told you of thia before. It is too sacred a thing to be spoken of without necessity. Now write to your huaband that is to be, and tcll him to come here."
I did 80, and the preparations for my marriage began. Stephen was very kind, but his thoughts wandered further and further day by day. I spoke to a doctor, a friend of his, about him, but it seemed that nothing really ailed him. 1 longed, almost to pain, to ask him more about Marion; but he never gave me an oppor¬ tunity. If I approached the subject he turned the talk in another direction, and
my old habita of submission to him pre¬ vented me Irom going on. aucu uome
my wedding day. Stephen gave me away,
and sat by my side at the breakfast. He
seemed to hang over me more tenderly
than ever, as he put me into the carriage
and took leave ot me.
The last thing I did aa I leaned out ot the carriage window was to tell him to be aure to be my first visitor in my own home.
" No, Margaret," he said, with a sad smile. " Say good-bye to me now; my work is done."
Scarcely understanding what he said, I bade him good-bye, and it was not till my husband asked what he meant that I remembered his strange look and accent. I then felt half frightened about him; but the novelty of my first visit abroad made me forget my fears.
Thn reat is soon told. The first letter I reoeived from Eogland said that on the very morning after my marriage he had been found dead and cold in his bed. He had died without pain, the doctor aaid, with his right hand clasping his left arm above the wrist, and holding firmly, even in death, a circlet of Marion's hair.

SLEEP—ITS IMPOETANCE. There is no faot more clearly eatablish¬ ed in the physiology of man than this, that the brain expends its energies and itself during lho hours of wakefulness, and that these are recuperated during sleep ; if the recuperation does not equal the expenditure, the brain withers; thia leads to insanity.
Thua it is that, in early English hiatory. persons who were condemned to death by being prevented from sleeping, always died raving maniacs ; thus it is also, that those who are atarved to death first be come insane^; the brain is not nouriahed, and they can not sleep. Craay peraons are poorsleepe'S, while good sleepers sel¬ dom become crazy. The practical infer¬ ences are these:
1st. Thoae who think most, who do moat brain work, require moat Bleep.
2d. That time saved from necessary aleep ia infallible destruetive to mind, body .ind estate.
3d. Give yourself, your children, your servants—give all that are under you— the fullest amount of sleep they will take, by compelling them to go to bed at some regular early hour, and to rise in the mor¬ ning at a stated hour, and within a fort¬ night, nature, with almost the regularity of the rising sun, will unloose the boiida of sleep the moment enough repose haa been secured for the wants of tbe ayatem This is the only safe and sufficientrule; and as to the question how much sleep any one requires, each must be a rule for himself; great nature will never fail to write it out lo the obaerverunder the reg¬ ulations just given.—Phrenological Joumai,

To be a gentleman is to be elevated above othera in aentiment rather than situation; and the poor man, with an enlarged and pure inind, may be hap¬ pier, too, than his rich neighbor without thia elevation.

LITXLls GIRLS.
I cannot will imagine a home more in¬ complete than that one whera there ia no litlle girl to stand in the void of the do¬ mestic circle which boys can never fill' and to draw all hearts within the magic ring, ofher presence. Thereis something about little girls which is eapecially love¬ able; even thtir wilful, naughty waya seem utterly void of evil when tbey are 80 soon followed by the aweet penitence tbat overflows in such gracious showers Your boys are great, noble fellows, gen¬ erous, loving, and full of good impulses, but they are noisy ani demonstrative, and dearly aa you love them, you are glad their place is out of doors; but Jennie, with her light step, is alwaya beside you ; she brings the slippers for papa, and with bar pretty dimpled fingers unfolds the paper for him to read; she puts on a thimble no bigger tban a fairy's and with, aome very mysterious combination of " doll rags," fills up a small rocker by mamma, with a wonderlul aasumption of womanly dignity. And who' shall tell how the little thread of speech that Hows with such sweet, silvery lightness from those innocent lips, twines itself around the mother's heart never to ruat, not even when the dear little face ia hid among tbe daiaiea, aa ao many mothers know.
But Jennie grows to be a woman, and there is a long and ahining track from tbe half latched door of childhood till the girl blooms into the mature woman.— There are the brothers who always lower¬ ed their voicea when they talk to their sister, and tell of the sports in which she takes almost as much interest aa they do, while in turn she instructs them in all the little minor details of home life, of which they would grow up ignorant it not for her. And what a shield she is upon the dawning manhood wherein so many temptations lie. Always her aweet pre sence to guard and inspire them, a check upon profanity, a living sermon on im' morality. How fragrant tha cup of tea she hands them at the evening meal; how cheery her voice as she relates the little incidents of the day. No ailly talk of incipient beaux, or love of young men met on the promenade. A girl like that has no empty space in her head for auch thoughts to run riot in, and you don't find her apending the evening in the dim parlor with a questionable young man for her company.
When her lover comea he mnat say what he has to say in the family sitting- room with father and' mother, or, if ashamed to, there is no room foi him there. Jennie's young heart haa not been filled by the pernicious nonaense whiuh resulta in ao many unhappy marriages or faasiy divorces. Dear girl, she thinks all thetime of what a good home ahe has, what dear brothers, and on bended knees craves tbe blessings of Heaven to rest on them, but ahe does not know how far, very far for time and eternity, her own pure example goes, bow it will radiate as a blessing into other homes where a sia¬ ters memory will be the consecrated ground of the post.
Cherish, then, the little girla, dimpled darlinga, who tear their aprons, and cut the table-cloths, and eat the sugar, and are themselves the sugar and salt of life. Let them dress and undress their doll babies to their heart's content, and don't tell them Tom Thumb and Eed Biding Hood are fiction, but leave them alone titl they find it out, which they will all too aoon. Answer all the funny queationa they ask, and don't muke fun of their
A HAS OF SYMPATHY
I am a man of sympathy. The misfor¬ tunes of my fellow mortals have always moved me with pity, their wrongs with indignation, and their happiness with gladness. Thua .froni; the days-of-my childhoc^{|iay^my &i^uiai))'auiB»ihto my sympathizing ear the stories of their grief, anger and joy, always sure to awa¬ ken in my breast kindred emotions. How often when at boarding .scliool hnve my comrades beaeeched me to conceal in my room the aack of apples which they were suspected of stealing; and how olten, when the sack of apples was discovered have I in durance vile, smarting from tho effecta of ratan—heaped imprecations up¬ on that fruit so produotivo of wo to the human raoe, from our grandmother Eve down to the sympathizing schoolboy, Samuel Wilkins.
When Dick oame to me with a graphic account of Tom's tyranny, my heart be¬ came brimfull of indignation, and when, an hour or two later, Tom came to me with a graphic account of Dick's mean¬ ness, how my contempt found vent in words only less vehement than thosa of Tom'a, and how the next day—Tom and Dick having become fast friends again, and having administered to me a sound thrashing for my "doubled-laced bypoc¬ rioy"—did 1 deplore my sympathizing na¬ ture.
It is a matter of no little wonder to me that I have found, throughout my life, ao many friends involved in peouniary diffi¬ culties, who confide to me their misfor. tunes in auoh heartrending terms that I at last fairly implore them to make use of my purse as if it were their own—which request they have so literally complied with, that I have never received a oent of the money back.
And now, although it may pain me ex¬ cessively to enter into the details of the great misfortune of my life, yet for the warning of all young men who like my¬ self are possessed of a soul easily moved to pity, I will do violence to my own feel¬ ings and relate as calmly as possible the sorrowful event.
I was devoted to Miss Brown, and al¬ though naturally modest, fluttered my¬ self that I did not altogether waste my affections on the desert air- On the eve¬ ning of the 25lh of June, IS—(I shall never forget the date,) I nerved myself and directed my stepa to the residence of Mias Brown, resolved to end my auapenae and offer my heart, etc., eto. But Mias Brown waa not at home. As I aorrowl'uUy wended my way homeward, I passed the residence of Miss Eobinson, a young lady who was fast approaching that dubious period denominated a "certain age." My evil genius prompted me to enter. I found Miss Eobinson app.-irently sunk to the deepest deptli of despair and weep ing. Profoundly moved, I approached and implored her to eoiiGrle to me the cause of her grief, so lhat if I oould not aseuage it, I might at le.ist mourn with her. She at firat refused, but at last mov¬ ed by entreaties, in broken iitleran'^e lold me the story of her woe. Mr. Codringlon having ensnared ber youth lul affection.-, and having repeatedly ,-iVQwed his love, now had ceased oalliog on her, and was paying great attenlion to -Miss Brown. - My first impulse was to pi-iicecd immed: ately to castigate the br-atiieii, Mr. Cod¬ ringlon, but remembering Ihnt he was re¬ ported to be an adept iu liie mnnly nrt, I

"Weep not," I said consolingly; "1 will be your father, mother, brother, hus¬ band."
Ah!" she exclaimed, sinking upon my shoulder.
At tbis moment Ihe dow opi-nod, and Miss Eobinson's oluc-r.biollit-r entered. 1 rose, and Miss Eobinson, wilh tlie great¬ est sang froid, said:
"Augustus. I believe you nre already acquainted with Mr. Wilkins, but let me introduce him as your future brother-in- law."
I stood struck with amazement as he grasped my hand.
" Ur. Wilkins," he exclaimed, "I know of no person I would prefer to you as a brolher."
¦' But " I endeavored to explain.
" One who possesses so maoy qualities of the head and heart to mnke himself beloved by all hia friends," he continued.
" But really " I again commenced,
when a gentleman entered the apartment. "Mr. Smith—Mr. Wilkins." I glared furiously at tho individual who had thua interrupted mo by his untimely visit. He drew b.ick timidly, and shrank into a chair, " My future brother, Au. gustus," aoon after left. I am convinced that Misa Eobinaon must have pasaed a very pleasant evening. Mr. Smith evi¬ dently endeavored to be very agreeable, but, in the midst of a sentence, his eye would catch mine fixed upon him with an expression of intense hatred—the aen¬ tenee ended in an indistinct murmur, and he moved his chair farther from me. I endeavored to speak; but my tongue clave to the roof of my moulh. Thus we sat in silence, only broken by convulsive but vain attempts at conversation, while hour after hour passed by. I was deter¬ mined not to depart until I had had an explanation with Miss Bobinson, but Mr Smitb, his countenance strongly expres¬ sive of embarrassment and fear, sat im¬ movable. I at last gavo up the contest and, bowing dubiously to Miss Bobinson, stiffly to Mr. Smitb, loft the house. How I hated that man! I havo sinco learned that he thought I was an escaped lunatic, and was determined not to leave Misa Eobinaon unprotected.
No worda cun portray the agony I ex perienced for the next day and night, as I sat in my room contriving meana to es¬ cape from my involuntary engagement. But no plan presenled ilaelf, and, unable to bear the solitudeany longer, on theeve¬ nlng of the 27th I called on Mias Brown. She was "not at home." JTor four suc¬ cessive evenings I was sent despairing from her dear, but on the fifth I was ad¬ mitted. Miss Brown greeted we warmly, and introduced me to Mr. Codrington. I was hardly sealed before she commenced to congratulate me on my approaching mairiage with Misa E jbinson. In vain did I attempt to deny it. Misa Crown said sbe bad it on good authority, and laugh¬ ingly asserted that it was always the way, but she thought it was nonsense to make any secret of it, and finished the sentence with an expressive glance at Mr. Codring¬ ton, whioh individual's vacant counte¬ nance waa immediately illumined with a conceited aimper. I could stand it no longer, and hurriedly left.
Oo entering my gloomy domicil, I found a note awaiting me, running tbus: "Mr. Wilkixs: Your oonduct is infa¬ mous. My brother thrc.-iiens to horse¬ whip you, but 1 bave restrained him, and
