“ Who was he ? Who are his friends?” are the next 
inquiries. Thou a telegraphic message is de¬ 
spatched for orders for the disposal of tbe remains, 
and preparations are made for their removal. The 
next morning a paragraph appears in all the daily 
papers: 
"Melancholy Accident. —Y'esterday afternoon 
just as the-train was leaving the- 
depot, a young man about twenty years ol age 
was ran over while endeavoring to jump from the 
cars as they were leaving the depot. He was sup¬ 
posed to be intoxicated at the time, as he was 
known to l>e dissipated in his habits, lie was a 
stranger in the place, and had been for some time 
in search of employment, aud for a week pre¬ 
vious had been engaged as driver at the Burnet 
House. He probably has frienUB at the East, and 
preparations are being made to convey hi* remains 
to them. In his pocket was found a little Bible, 
which bore the name of 'Susy Parnham,’ doubt¬ 
less the gift of some affectionate sister.” 
0! Susy!— and was this the answer to your 
hopes, your prayers! 
Silence aud gloom, the shadows which fall from 
the wing of Death, hrood darkly over the home of 
the Farnhajis. Susy, with tear-stained cheeks 
aud blood-shot eyes, enters softly where berfathor 
sits at a table writing. Beside him is a telegraphic 
dispatch, and looking over his shoulder, she 
watches the firm though aged hand as it writes— 
“ Give him Christian burial, at as little expense 
as is possible, and hold me responsible.” 
That was all. But his hand is arrested. Susy’s 
arms are around hisneck, her head upon his breast 
aud she sobs out,

EARLY IMPROVEMENT. 
For Moore's Rural New-Yorker. 
THE SKELETON BRIDEGROOM. 
Tt is a fact admitted by all, that youth is the 
season for improvement. It is indeed true, that 
we may and do acqnirc much knowledge, after we 
arrive at years of maturity, hut this knowledge is 
not so readily obtained at that period, neither is it 
of so decisive a character, as that which is ac¬ 
quired in youth. Habits formed while young, 
whether correct or not, generally go with man 
through life, aud ho difficult is it to resist the influ¬ 
ence of the instructions and knowledge given him 
then, that it becomes a kind of fixed principle of 
action, and governs him to the latest moment of 
existence. 
When the man whose yonth has been educated 
in vice, who has been early taught to disregard 
the. teachings of tho word of truth, whose mind 
has been left in ignorance of the principle of his 
nature, nninstrncted in the ways of honor and 
virtue, we see him, towards the close of his exist¬ 
ence, pursuing the same dishonorable, visions 
course that marked his early life unreformed by 
the lapse of time, unawed by the beauty and sub¬ 
limity of Nature’s works. On the other hand, we 
see the man whose youth has been edneated in 
the principles of truth and virtue, whose mind has 
been stored with useful knowledge, and who has 
been early taught the duties and responsibilities 
of life, we see him following a noble, steady aud 
virtuous course, unshaken by the winds of fortune, 
unmolested by the ceaseless toil and tumults of 
the world. How highly important then is it, 
that we, in youth, form honorable and worthy rules 
of action, leaving no laudable course untried, uo 
opportunity unimproved no time unemployed.— 
When yonth are thus schooled, then will vice and 
misery, in all their hideous forms, be driven from 
earth, and virtue and happiness reign triumphant 
over the mind of man. Helen.

A LEGEM) OF THE PRAIRIES 
The bugles of the Northern Wind 
Were sounding o'er tbe prairie, 
When Archie left his cot behind, 
To wed with blue-eyed Mary. 
No star was twinkling on the way; 
His toilsome road, and weary, 
Through lonely plains and forests lay, 
And moorlands wild and dreary. 
The snow before him on the gale 
Flew like a ghostly shadow. 
Enshrouding in its mantle pale 
The upland and tbe meadow; 
But still he trod his weary way, 
All storm ami tempest scorning; 
Alack, that on a tvedding day 
Such night should find a morning. 
Before his fireside's enuerful flame 
Old farmer Worth was sitting. 
While at the right his prudent dame 
Was busy with her knitting. 
And MaBY, near the aged pair, 
Her blue eyes dim with sorrow, 
Was dreaming of the days that ware 
And hoping for the morrow, 
And often toward the window cast 
Her sad and anxious glances, 
To shudder Avhen the w intry blast 
Moaned through the maples' branches. 
“ ’Tis strauge he stays,” said fanner Worth 
A nd fell again to thinking, 
While the old house-dog upon the hearth 
Kept up bis drowsy winking. 
A tear stole down the maiden’s cheek, 
The good dame dropped her stocking, 
And back and forth with constant creak 
Her easy chair kept rocking. 
Without, the storm grew wild and high, 
The wind still louder ho vllng, 
And murky clouds across the sky 
Flew southward dark and scowling. 
««’Tis storming hard, all is not well,'’ 
The good man said, complaining, 
“He should have cmne ere evening fell, 
But now the night is waning.” 
The weary hours rvent plodding on, 
With silent sorrow freighted, 
And darkness fled before the dawn, 
But still they watched and waited. 
Through many days of dreary gloom 
Time passed with solemn paces, 
No tidings of the lost bridegroom 
Were heard,—they found no traces. 
And years sped by ; the aged pair 
Were in tbe church yard sleeping, 
And Mary's brow was marked with care, 
Her blue eyes dim with weeping ; 
When, on a sunny summer morn 
There came to mourning Mary, 
With horse, and hounds, and bugle-horn, 
A huntsman of the prairie. 
“ Maiden,” the haTdy trapper B&id, 
« Beside a granite boulder, 
From which for many a mile I’ve sped 
A human form doth moulder.” 
« Come haste with me !’’ he grasped the rein. 
She sat the steed before him, 
And over me&doAT, moor and plain 
The gallant hunter bore them. 
And there in the long prairie grass 
Where summer winds were sighing, 
A skeleton in wedding dress. 
They round poor Archie lviog. 
The daisies nodded o’er his bed, 
The lilies in the clover, 
Their sweetest, purest fragrance shed 
Around the ghastly lover. 
The maiden's face a hue put on 
As white as snow when driven, 
She fell beside tbe skeleton, 
And rose to lore in Heaven. 
And noAV when Boreas’ bugles wail 
Along the lonesome prairie, 
The farmers tell tbe mournful tale 
Of weeping blue-eyed Mary. 
OgdenBburgh, N. Y., 1857. x. c. J. 
, “ 0! Father, you do not mean so! 
Y’ou cannot let them lay your only son, my cher¬ 
ished brother, among strangers. Far from all he 
loved and who loved him,—no! no!—he mast rest 
beside our mother. I could not live if it were not 
so. Think of the little time at most which yon 
will have to live. What is gold to you? You are 
surrounded with every comfort, and you cannot 
take anything from this world when you leave it. 
All you have will he mine, and it is my wish that 
you do this, even if it take all.’’ 
Who could resist her? Not even the stern and 
selfish heart of Is&ael Farnham, 
“Write, then, what you please; I will have noth¬ 
ing to do with it,” was bis reluctant reply. 
And so Willie Faknram was laid in his dream¬ 
less sleep, near to that mother on whoso bosom he 
had slept the innocent slumber of childhood. It 
is a pleasant spot; careful hands have trained the 
loveliest flowers around the simple head-stones of 
the mother and brother, and here is Susy’s favor¬ 
ite haunt. The stars beam os brightly, the river 
murmurs as gently, and the birds sing as sweetly 
here as if death and sin had never overcome the 
world* 
And the grey-haired, bowed aud tottering father 
—is there no change in him? Ask the men of 
affluence, in whose hearts Ledger has usurped the 
place of Love —Consequence become paramount 
to Confidence—Bank of more importance than 
Benevolence—and Dollar dearer than Devotion.— 
Ask them if they feel no yearnings of nature, no 
pangs of accusing conscience towards those sons 
who have gone astray into idleness, extravagance, 
nnd dissipation, through the neglect of homo in¬ 
fluences; or those daughters who have wasted 
their lives and affeetions in fashion and folly, or 
have linked their youth and beauty to the glitter¬ 
ing car of -wealth, only to be dragged to sorrow 
and remorse. 
CHAPTER IV. 
A Lull. 
! So every one called her. 
SweetSusY Farniiam 
And she was sweet to look upon as the windflower, 
and almost as frail. Sorrow had chastened her 
heart and giveu to her youthful countenance a 
look of ineffable meekness. The aged praised her 
as the best of daughters and housekeepers, and 
the youDg sought her companionship and confi¬ 
dence. She was the best of daughters, truly. It 
was her pleasure and her care that no wish of her 
father’s heart should remain ungratified. No mat¬ 
ter how exacting or unreasonable be might be— 
and he was both—she was still the same self-deny¬ 
ing and affectionate attendant. She was cheerful, 
too, but when alone aud froe to hold communion 
with her inmost heart, the sorrow which filled it 
almost to bursting would then find vent in tears 
aud prayers. 
It was a lovely autumn evening, aud Susy, in an 
unusually melaueholy frame of mind, wandered to 
the little bridge which spanned the narrow and 
rapid stream, dignified by tbe title of "the river.” 
Here she had often stood at the sunset anil watch¬ 
ed with her brother the leaves and pieces of bark 
as the current bore them rapidly along. 
“01 Willie!” she exclaimed in touching sad¬ 
ness, “ uothiug is changed but you and I.” 
“I know it, sister. God knows, you cannot suf¬ 
fer more than I do.” 
It was Willie’s voice, and Willie it was who 
clasped her so suddenly iu hisarms—but so altered. 
Even Susy shrank from his embrace as she saw the. 
wan face and brilliant eyes which bent over her. He 
drew her hand within his arm, and neither spoke 
until they stood beside their mother's grave. The 
clear, cold moon had risen and bathed the sacred 
spot iu a halo of light., even as the good deeds of 
that gentle mother encircled her memory. Moved 
by the same impulse, they knelt—the one with 
bowed head, the other with heart and eyesnplifted 
in supplication. Willie had opened his whole 
heart to her; all the sad story of his guilt and 
suffering had been revealed to a sister’s sympathy 
and forgiveness, and it. was fully and prayerfully 
bestowed. 
“ 0! Willie dear, since you must leave me, per¬ 
haps forever, promise me, by the memory of our 
sainted mother, that you will reform. Break away 
from all these grievous faults aud temptations 
which beset you. Think of our mother, of her 
care aud kindness, and the joy it would be to her 
heart to see you an upright man. Take tins with 
you, Willie —it is my little Sunday School Bible. 
It will remind you of me, as there is much in it 
which I have mavked and written. I want you to 
read it, for my sake at first, and then I know you 
will grow to love it for its own sake. And you 
must write to me very often.” 
“God bless you, Susy! You always were my 
good angel, and with the blessing of Providence 
upon my good resolutions and efforts, I will be¬ 
come all that you could wish. I am going to the 
far West, where I am unknown and unknowing, 
there to begin life anew. You must keep up good 
courage. In a few years I shall be engaged in 
some good business, and then one of these days 
you shall come out there to live with me and be 
my little housekeeper.” 
And so they parted— Susy hopeful, almost hap- 
py,—W illie choking down the grief that would 
make his eyes overflow, and his voice unsteady, 
and trying to cheer up the trusting little heart 
which beat against liis own.

Young ladies are like arrows—they are all in a

Men often mistake notoriety for fame and would 
rather be remarked lor their vices and follies than 
not noted at all.

and you will always find a useful penny at the

Emerson says an Englishman of fashion is like

princes, but with uothing in it worth reading or 
remembering. 
The Archbishop of Beaumont one day preach¬ 
ed before the Court of France, npon the duties of 
the nobility. “Ah!” said Louis XV. to Richelieu, 
“ the preacher lias throwu a few stones into your

The old French writer, Montreuil, writing upon 
the subject of his death, remarks that as persons 
on going to sleep pat out the candle, he Is sorry, 
on his part, that on sinking to his “eternal sleep” 
he cannot annihilate the universe and extinguish 
the sun. 
There is a non-connnittal originality about this 
paragraph which is exceedingly useful just now: 
—“ Although we dislike to part with public officers 
who have proved themselves worthy of their trust, 
yet when we are Bute of having in thoir Btead those 
who will find a pleasure in consulting the public 
good in their managements, we are not disposed 
to complain when changes are made.”

BY MISS CAROLINE A. HOWARD, 
[Concluded from last week.] 
A young man sat in his room in one of the large 
and fashionable boarding-houses of a great city.— 
A sealed envelope was iu his hand, but his eyes 
were not upon it. His pale and haggard features 
bore an expression of intense mental suffering, and 
at interval he walked the floor with hasty and un¬ 
steady steps. As he was about to break the seal 
of the letter wbioh lie held, his attention was ar¬ 
rested by footsteps at his door. Thrusting the 
packet into his breast, he arose and, with folded 
arms, confronted an officer of the police. With¬ 
out waiting for a word or question to be spoken, 
he took his hat and followed him as if he had long 
been awaiting the summons. When next he paused 
it waB within the walls of the city prison—his 
room a felon’s cell—himself a forger! For a mo¬ 
ment a sense of his situation overcame him, and 
he buried his face in his Lands. He thought of his 
mother, his sister, and taking the forgotten letter 
from his breast, he read with swimming eyes: 
“Dear Brother: —Come to us. Mother is fail¬ 
ing fast She can live hut a short time, and begs 
that she may see you once again. Lose no time in 
hastening to her side. Your own Susy.” 
The letter drops from bis trembling grasp, lie 
clenches his hands convulsively, a deep groan 
bursts from bis agonized heart, and he falls heavily 
along the floor. No tears moisten bis parched 
lids; tbe great grief which is tagging at his heart¬ 
strings mounts up and fills his throat to suffocation 
as if it would fain escape from him, but is too 
great for exit. 
The night comes and goes, aud so do other 
nights, but it is all alike to tlie tenant of that lonely 
cell. It is the evening of the tenth day; the cell

conductor cried, “ AII aboard I” He hears, but is 
not afraid; he has often leaped from tho train 
when in motion. He pauses an instant on the 
landing—it is but fin instant— then be is gone; but 
where? A wild shriek oi mortal agony, a quick 
rush of the multitude, pale with horror, and the 
great engine of destruction, with a snort, anil a 
bound, rushes on, bearing its living freight uncon¬ 
scious of what they leave behind. 
And what is it? There is a great crowd upon 
the track—something is taken up and borne si¬ 
lently away, is they pass, you catch a glimpse of 
a ghastly face aud matted hair. Kind strangers lay 
the crushed form in decent state in a room of the 
Hotel with which he has been so lately connected.
