ON THE OCEAN. 
BY MRS. JSLLKX 0. L. K1MBRL, 
Wk'ub rocking, rocking on thy breast, 
Oh, ocean, broad and blue; 
But ere thy wave gong lull* to rest, 
Say If thy heart be true. 
We ace its pulses rise and fall 
In throbbing* calm and slow; 
But passions, at the wild wind’s call, 
May walte in depths below; 
While trusting hearts that fell asleep, 
Lulled by thy murmured song, 
Launched on the waves of death’s wild deep, 
faint with the fears that throng. 
Sending across thy dark blue waves 
Long Bearching looks of dread, 
With thoughts of caverns tnrned to graves. 
And loved one« lying dead, 
There breaks from out the growing fear 
A gleam of better faith— 
Danger and darkness may be near, 
But God's will bringeth death. 
So, with the darkness folding close 
The last warm rays of light, 
We lade the breeze that landward blows 
With many a fond “good night;” 
And rocking, rocking on thy breast, 
Oh, ocean, broad and blue, 
If false the song that lulls to rest, 
The Heart above is true.

THE COUSINS; 
OE, DO THE DUTY NEAREST YOU. 
BY KATE CAMERON. 
^Concluded from page 366, last number.] 
At length the repast was ended, every one 
having eaten more than enough, and all being 
impatient to repair to the upper rooms, where 
the Fair was to be held. That passed off as such 
gatherings in a village like Brookville always do, 
to the general eatistection of all concerned; af¬ 
fording much amusement during its progress, 
and realising a handsome amount for the object 
in view. 
Adeline was too much fatigued by her exer¬ 
tions on the occasion, to think of doing anything 
for a week excepting to attend the Saturday eve¬ 
ning meeting and the sewing society. So her 
mother, as nsnal, did the housework, and all 
things moved on in their wonted course, save 
that Adeline was rather less amiable, and seemed 
anxious to find some ground for a quarrel with 
Amy. 
Mr. Lewis appeared to remember his promise 
in regard to the latter, for ho called frequently 
at Deacon Seymour's, and always looked well 
pleased to find his daughter at homo. Adeline, 
meanwhile, had decided in her own mind that 
no person in the village was so well fitted to 
occupy the parsonage as herself; and,—softly be 
it spoken,—one more Sundays than one had she 
imagined herself, dressed plainly but richly, and 
seated in the second pew from the pulpit, the 
place appropriated, from time immemorial, to 
the minister’s family in the Brookville church. 
And oh! how devoted she would be to the 
duties of a clergyman’s wife. She Bhonld then 
be president of the sewing circle, and leader of 
the female prayer meeting, besides making pas¬ 
toral calls with her husband, and receiving an¬ 
nual donation parties. It was a bright picture, 
and one on which she gazed with all the enthusi¬ 
asm of a visionary, albeit she would have repu¬ 
diated with horror the charge of being a day- 
dreamer, or a builder of air-castles. 
Mr. Lewis, however, seemed in no haste to find 
a “help meet,” but mingled as freely with the 
young ladies of his congregation as though there 
were not dozens of eyes watching his proceed¬ 
ings, ready to court his every look, and how, and 
smile, and “ guess” that he was “paying attention” 
to this one or that. 
One Wednesday, the great institution of the 
village, (the sewing society, so often alluded to,) 
was to meet at Deacon Lee's, where the minister 
still boarded, and perhaps on this account there 
was an unusually full attendance. Adeline's 
mother had proposed going, but her daughter 
did not approve, and told her she had better stay 
at home, for if aho went, very likely Cuart.es 
and Henry would want to go in the evening, and 
they were really so uncouth and awkward, that 
she should feel more at ease not to have them 
there. So Miss Adeline went "alone in her 
glory,” arrayed in her favorite crimson and black 
silk, and intent on making an impression on the 
obdurate heart of her clerical victim. 
There was also a discussion at Deacon Sey¬ 
mour’s, but carried on in quite a different tone. 
“Amy,” said Mtb. Seymour, "you must go to 
the society this afternoon; you have not been 
for four weeks, while 1 have attended every one 
in that time.” 
“Yes, mother, and I would rather have yon go 
again to-day; you are older than I am, and 
haven’t as many years left lor visiting; and as 
we can't both conveniently leave the house, I will 
stay and get supper, and see that father and the 
boys are nicely fixed up to go thia evening; 
then, when I’m through with the housework, I’ll 
finish that sewing for poor Mrs. Brown,— it will 
do just as much good as if I were to go to the 
sewing circle.” 
Mrs. Seymour was easily persuaded to go in 
Amy’s place, telling her she was a dear, dutiful 
daughter, and would sometime have her reward. 
That evening, Mr. Lewis seemed more silent 
and reserved than usual, and soon after tea, he 
found an opportunity to ask Mrs. Seymour if her 
daughter wrb ill, as he observed she wsb not 
present. 
"Oh, no sir,” was the answer. “Amy iB always 
well, but she insisted on staying at home to let 
me come,—she would rather deny htrBelf the 
pleasure, than not have me enjoy it;’* and onr 
good madam must be forgiven if a tear of mater¬ 
nal love spaiklcd in her ejes as she gave thiB 
tribute to her daughter’s filial virtues. 
They were now interrupted by Adeline, who 
tried to engage the minister in conversation, 
merely nodding to her aunt and Baying, “Amy is 
not here, I see; how can she be so heedless and 
wordly minded?” And then she proceeded to 
Inform Mr. Lewis of a new treatise she had been 
reading upon the Evangelization of the West, 
and the necessity she felt for greater exertions in 
behalf of those deprived of gospel ministrations 
in the remote sections of our land. Mr. Lewis 
acquiesced, but without entering very earnestly 
into the snbjeot, soon excused himself, and in a 
short time waa observed to leave the room qnietly. 
We have the advantage of the Brookville ladies, 
for they could only follow him with Burmises, 
whereas we can see him take his overcoat and 
hat, and wend his way toward Deacon Seymour's, 
and from the rapidity of his pace we infer he is 
in quite as much of a hurry as if he had not left 
Mra Seymour in Mrs. Lee’s parlor, and caught a 
glimpse of her husband and sons entering the gate 
just aa he crossed the road from his boarding place* 
On reaching his destination, he saw a bright 
light in the cheerful sitting-room, and his knock 
was answered by Amy, who looked much surpris¬ 
ed to receive- a call from her pastor whom she 
had supposed was entirely engrossed with the 
more active members of bis society. Bhe said 
something to this effect, but received the assur¬ 
ance that, none were more dear to him than the 
absent one, whom he had come to seek. And 
then, in a few hurried words be told Amy of his 
love for her, and that she alone could make him 
happy. One glance at her blushing checkB and 
down cast eyes seemed to satisfy him, and grow¬ 
ing bold, be gently drew her sewing from her 
hands, and held them willing prisoners within 
his own; and so much had they both to say, that 
the candles burned dimly, and the fire wont al¬ 
most out on the hearth, quite unheeded by the 
two happy inmates of that cosey room. But the 
clock struck nine, and the spoil was broken. 
Amy hastily replenished the fire, trimmed the 
lights, and was very busily plying her needle, 
when footsteps were heard, and the door opened, 
admitting Mr. and Mrs. Seymour, and the two 
young mem 
“Weill if this don’t beat all,” ejaculated the 
good old deacon, " here is the minister with our 
Amy, while all Brookville has been wondering 
what had become of him.” And he gave Mr. 
Lewis a cordial grasp of the hand, while the 
young minister with some little hesitation inform¬ 
ed him of the state of affairs, and begged the con¬ 
sent of himself and his wife to a speedy union 
with their daughter. This was, of course, joy¬ 
fully granted; but all parties concerned decided 
that, under existing circumstances, it would be 
best to keep the matter strictly private. 
Ere long, it was arranged that the First of May 
— three months after this occurrence,—should 
witness their nuptials, and that a short time pre¬ 
vious to that date, Amy should go to visit Borne 
relatives residing in a neighboring city, whither 
her affianced should follow her, and have the 
ceremony qnietly performed, without even Bay¬ 
ing “by your leave,” to hia numerous well- 
wishers in Brookville. 
Boon after his engagement, Mr. Lewis had 
deemed it advisable to inform his people that he 
would like to move into the parsonage on the 
First of May; and curiosity was on tip-toe to find 
out who was to reside there with him. Adeunk 
Seymour tossed her head, and was sure she didn’t 
know or care,— the minister might marry whom 
he liked,—she was rather glad it wasn’t to be one 
of the Brookville girls,— for her part she should 
not want to be domineered over by one of her 
old mates, and a minister’s wife was so prim and 
precise, the next thing to an old maid, Bhe would 
not be one for all the world! 
The day named for the wedding came at last; 
Mr. Lewis had left town a few days previous, and 
would notreturn until Saturday night; he desired 
to have every thing pass off qnietly, and at once 
vetoed the public demonstration which some of 
his church desired to make, aayiDg that he would 
much rather have his people call on hia wife 
without ceremony, than to have a large party 
given in honor of her arrival. 
So there was no one at the parsonage to receive 
the newly wedded pair, save the two deacons and 
their wives. As might be anticipated, Mr. and 
Mrs. Seymour did not share in the surprise ex¬ 
pressed by Mr. and Mrs. Lkb when, her thick trav¬ 
eling veil thrown aside, Amy's familiar face was 
exposed to their inquiring gaze. But nothing 
could equal the astonishment of the parish in 
general, and of Adeline Seymour in particular, 
when a Bimilar discovery was made on the Sab¬ 
bath morning following. 
For once, every one was punctual in their at¬ 
tendance at church; and all fceads were turned 
toward the door, aa the time arrived lor the min¬ 
ister to make his appearance. And when at 
length he entered, followed by the tastefully 
dressed and sniiliDg Aar, a suppressed “Oh.” 1 
might have been heard echoing through the 
building; and if Mr. Lewis had reason to com¬ 
plain of anght being amiss iu the behavior of his 
congregation that morning, it certainly could nut 
have been that they yielded to the alluring influ¬ 
ences of morpheas, for every eye was open, and 
eveiy eye was fixed upon the minister's wife! 
Little remains to be told; Amy Lewis’ after-life 
well fulfilled the promise of her girlhood. A 
kind and devoted daughter and Eister can but 
sustain the same character as a wife, and Mr. 
Lewis never had cause to regret that he had 
trusted to these indications in his choice of a 
companion. Ever gentle and unassuming, Amy 
gradually glided into the new and enlarged circle 
of duties now devolving upon her, and all by i 
whom she was surrounded (if we except her cousin 
Adeline,) felt that “ the blessings of her quiet 
life, fell on them like the dew.” Bhe continued 
firm in the belief that home has the first claim 
upon all, and her favorite motto was, “do the 
duty nearest yon.” 
Adeline Seymour, for so she remained, ere 
many years became a member of that class whom 
she had denounced as being even worse than 
ministers' wives, viz:—old maids,—and instead of 
throwing the charm of dignity and beauty over 
the harsh outlines of a single life, she rendered 
them still more unlovely and repulsive by the as 
perlty and selfishness of her disposition. The 
pathway of her parents, as they descended into 
the valley of old age, was unsmoothed by the 
countless little attentions which do so much to 
Cheer the deepening twilight of Life’s evening 
hour; while her brothers gladly sought new 
homes at a distance from one who had never been 
h siBtcr to them, save in name. 
Thus have we hastily sketched the portraits of 
two cousins, whose prototpye may, we think, be 
found in other villages save Brookville; and while 
onr readers cannot fail to give the preference to 
the eharacter of Amy, we would recommend to 
them hb a rule of action, her chosen maxim, “ do 
the duty nearest you.” 
-- 
SELF-CONTROL—A FAMILY INCIDENT. 
“ Mother I” cried a little girl, rushing into the 
room where a lady sat reading—"mother! John 
Rtrnck me in the face with all his might! Oh 
dear! oh dear! it hurts bo!” 
And the child pressed her hand against her 
cheek, and threw her bead backward and for¬ 
ward, as if she were in great pain. 
The lady’s face reddened, instantly, and the 
book fell from her band to the floor. There was 
anger in her heart against John, and in the 
blindnesR of her sudden indignation, she resolved 
to punish him with a severe chastisement But 
ere she reached the apartment in which her child 
had been playing, she paused suddenly and stood 
still. A timely thought glancing throogh her 
mind, had arrested her steps. 
“This will not do. I must control myself,” 
she said, speaking half aloud. Then, after a 
resolute strife with her angry feelings, the 
mother went back to the room where she had 
left her weeping child, and sitting down in her 
old place, said, with as calm and steady a voice 
as she could assume, 
“Agues, let me see your cheek.” 
“Oh dear! How it hurts!” sobbed Agnes, as 
she came to her mother’s side, her hand still 
pressed to her face. 
The lady gently removed the hand, and exam¬ 
ined her little girl’s cheek. There was a red 
marl* as if a blow had been received, but no evi¬ 
dence of a braise. 
“Agnes,” said the mother, now speaking very 
calmly and gently, yet with a firmness that at 
once subdued the excitement of her child’s mind, 
“I want you to stop c/rying, and tell me all about 
this trouble with John.” 
The child’s tears ceased to flow, and she looked 
up into her mother’s face. 
“Agnes, who gave the first provocation in this 
matter, you or John?” 
“John struck me in the face!” replied the 
child, evincing a great deal of angry feeling 
toward her brother. 
“ Why did he strike you?” 
Agnes was silent 
“Who saw the trouble between you and John?” 
inquired the mother. 
“Why, Mary saw it. She’ll tell you that John 
struck mo in the face with all his might.” 
“ Tell Mary that I wish to see her.” 
Agnes went for her sister. When they return¬ 
ed, the mother said: 
“Now, Mary, tell me all about this trouble with 
John and Agnes.” 
“You saw him strike me, didn't you, Mary?” 
said Agnes, with the eagerness of resentment. 
“I will question Mary,” said the mother, “and 
while I am doing so, yon, Agnes, must have noth¬ 
ing to Bay. After Mary has finished, then yon 
can correct her statement if yon wish to do so. 
Now, Mary, say on.” 
“Well, mother, I’ll tell you just how it was,” 
said Mary. “Agnes was teasing John, and John 
got angry.” 
“And struck his sister!” There was a tone of 
severity in the mother’s voice. 
“I think the blow was accidental,” said Mary. 
“John declared that it was, and tried hia best to 
comfort Agnes; even promising to give her his 
pet kitten, if she would stop crying, and not 
make trouble by telling you. But she was angry, 
and would not listen to him.” 
“Tell me just what occurred, Mary, and then I 
shall know exactly how far both were to blame.” 
“Well,” answered Mary, “John and I were 
playing checkers, and Agnes would, every now 
and then, steal np behind John and push his 
elbow when he waa making a move. It worried 
him, and he asked her over and over again not 
to do so. But she didn’t mind what he said. At 
last John pushed the board from him, and 
wouldn't play any longer. He was angry. Still 
Agnes seemed bent on annoying him. John got 
a book and sat down near the window to read. 
He had not been there long before Agnes stole 
up behind him, whipped the hook out of his 
hand, and ran away. John sprung after her and 
they had a struggle for the book, in which Agnes 
got a blow upon the face. I was loo.-.ing at 
them, and I think the blow was accidental. It 
seemed so at the time, and John declares that he « 
did not mean to strike her. That is all, mother.” 1 
“ Call your brother,” said the lady, in a sub- * 
dued voice. John entered the room in a few * 
moments. He was pale, and looked troubled. 
“My son,” said the mother, speaking without 
apparent excitement, yet with a touch of sorrow 
in her voice, “ did you strike Agnes on purpose?” ' 
The boy’s lips quivered, but no answer came 
through them. He looked into hia mother’s eyes ( 
for a moment or two, until tears blinded him, 
and then he laid his face down upon her bosom 
and sobbed. With love’s tender instinct, the 
mother drew her arm tightly round her boy, and 
then there was a silence for the Bpace of nearly 
a minute. 
“it was an accident, I am Bure,” whispered the 
mother, placing her lips close to the ear of her 
boy. 
“Indeed it was!” John answered bask with 
earneBtnesB. "My hand slipped as I tried to get 
my book from her, and it struck her in the face. 
I whs so sorry!” 
What less could the mother do than kiss with 
ardor the fair brow of her boy, against whom, 
under the influence of anger, she had passed a 
hasty judgment Bhe almost shuddered at the 
thought of the unjust punishment she had come 
nigh inflating while blind from sudden excite¬ 
ment 
“The chief blame, I see, rests with Agnes,” 
said the lady, turning with Borne severity of voice 
and countenance toward her little girl, who now 
stood with the aspect of a culprit instead of an 
accuser. 
“It was her fun, mother.” John spoke np 
quickly. “She loves to tease, you know, and I 
was wrong to get angry.” 
“ But teasing does not come from a good spirit,” 
replied the mother, “and 1 am sorry that my little 
girl can find no higher enjoyment than the 
pleasure of annoying her brothers and Bisters. 
I am satisfied with yon, John, but not with Agnes; 
and now you may leave us alone.” 
John and Mary went out, and left their mother 
alone with Agnes. When the little girl joined 
her brothers and sisters some time afterward, 
she had a sober face like one whose spirit was 
not at ease with itself. She had been guilty of a 
double wrong, and had come near drawing down 
upon her innocent brother an unjust punishment 
Bo clearly had her mother brought this to her 
view, that shame followed conviction, and she 
was now ready to acknowledge her fault and 
promise better conduct in the future. 
But the one who profited most by this scene of 
trouble, was the children's mother. After all 
was harmonized agaiD, and Bhe was alone with 
her own thoughts, she lilted a heurt of thankful¬ 
ness for Belf-control, and prayed that she might 
ever possess her spirit in calmness. “I tremble 
in thinking of the evil that would have followed 
a blind punishment of my noble-hearted boyl”— 
T. 8m Arthur.

A Convenient Custom. — The authors of 
“Wanderings in Brittany” give the following 
illustration of thoughtful care for the wants of 
marriageable young men:—“The peasantry around 
Josselln retain their old dresses and customs in 
perfection; the girls, especially, have a habit 
that would save much trouble were it introduced 
into more civilized circles. They appear on fete 
days in red under-petticoats, with white or yellow 
borders around them; the number of these de¬ 
notes the portion the father is willing to give his 
daughter; each white band, representing silver, 
betokens a hundred francs of rent; and each yel¬ 
low band means gold, and stands for a thousand 
francs per year. Thus any young farmer who 
sees a face that pleases him, has only to glance at 
the trimmings of the petticoat to learn in an in¬ 
stant what amount of rent accompanies it.”
