As distant lands beyond the sea, 
When friends go thence, (Law nigh, 
So Heaven, when friends hare thither gone. 
Draws nearer from the tky. 
And as those lands the dearer grow, 
When friends are long away, 
So Heaven itself, through loved ones dead, 
Grows dearer day by day, 
Heaven is not far frem those who see 
With the pure spirit's sight, 
But near, and in the very hearts 
Or those who see aright.

‘•Shb openeih her mouth with wisdom, and In her 
tongue is the law of kindness.'’— Proverbs 31—28. 
1 , for one, dn not despise. 
Beatify sparkling in the eyes; 
If upon the cheek it glows, 
Vieiog with the blushing rose; 
I would not a cynic be — 
There it hath a ebann for me. 
If to crown the pleasing fair 
She is blest with shining hair. 
Ruby Ups end dimpled chin. 
Faultless form and snowy skin ; 
IJow can I such beauty geo 
And deny its charms for me t 
Though the ohiseled slBtue might 
Fill me with a mute delight, 
While I saw ila marble grace, 
Polished brow and classic lace — 
Still my heart would not agree 
That its Charms should last with me. 
Animate the finished form, 
Let the heart heat k ind and warm ; 
There let Kindness write her law, 
And from Wisdom's Fountain draw 
Ways of pence—and then I'm iree, 
I own her charms would last with me. 
Every speech in wisdom formed ; 
F.very set by kindness warmed ; 
These are beauties ot the mind. 
Shining most with woman kind 5 
May they ever dwell with thee 
Is a wish you have from me. 
Then though wsg’iog Time may prey 
On each beao'y c.r thy cl >_v, 
Bright within thy soul msy glow, 
Uutil Life shall cease to flow, 
Wisdom still and kindness be 
Gems of beauty worn by thee.

ready. The guests had arrived. The clergyman 
was in attendance, Harriet had opened the 
shutter and raised the window towards my room, 
and the lace curtain scarcely interrupted my view 
of the company — at least after I had mount¬ 
ed on a stool, 60 as to he above the heads of a 
dozen darkies, who clustered round the window. 
Two couple entered the parlor and stood before 
the minister. I could scarcely believe my eyes — 
Myrta Hedges leaned upon the arm of Mr. Rus¬ 
sel, and heside Braxton Lewis, stood Hannah 
Whaly, The company seemed dumb with sur¬ 
prise. I glanced round. Squire Lewis’ counte¬ 
nance alone, expressed no surprise. The minister 
was performing a double ceremony. At first I 
could not distinguish the words, for black Sam 
Whaly left the window and went muttering out 
of the yard. The latter part I heard distinctly, 
“ In accordance wilh the Written Word ol God, 
and by the authority of the documents which 1 
hold in my hand, I pronounce each couple Man 
and Wife.” 
The minister had not taken his seat, when the 
door opened, and Nathan Whaly, almost burst¬ 
ing with rage, stood before the bridal party.— 
“Let me present my daughter-in-law to you,” said 
Squire Lewis, advancing to him. 
Whaly made no answer, but stepping in front 
of the clergyman, said, menacingly, “The utmost 
rigors of the law shall be visited upon you, Sir, for 
this illegal marriage.” 
“All necessary paper are in my possession, Mr. 
Whaly,” replied the minister, with calm dignity. 
“ By whose authority were they falsely obtain¬ 
ed?” demanded Whaly. 
“By the authority of Hannah Whaly’s father, 
who never delegated to you his control over his 
child.” The last speaker was the stranger I had 
seen during the day. 
“You have resumed your fatherly control at a 
fitting time, after leaving your child to be reared 
by the charity of her uncle,” sneered Nathan. 
“ Who has all these years been in the possession 
of the iuheriiauce rightfully belonging to that 
child’s father?” said the stranger. “Bat this is 
no place for recrimination; you have reared my 
child, well for which I thank yon, and forgive the 
treachery that caused me to think her dead.” 
Mr. Lewis and the clergyman interrupted the 
conversation of the brothers. Nothing more pas¬ 
sed between them, and Nathan Whaly* soon left 
the house. 
“Did you ever hear anything so good,” said 
Harriet Lee, when sho came home. “All the 
time that everybody though Bkac. was writing 
to Myrta, he was only sending letters to Hannah; 
eveu that first package was to tell Myrta all about 
his finding hia love only a childish fancy, as Myrta 
had before discovered hers to be.” 
“ But why did not Myrta tell Mr. Russel this?” 
“ Why, Mtkta did Dot suspect Mr. IicssELloved 
her, and she was in constant fear he would see her 
own deep love for him. The day he came to say 
good bye it was all explained. They had made all 
preparation for Hannah's wedding, and as they 
had got word that Lewis would be detained two 
weeks longer, Mr. Rdssel persuaded Mykta to be 
married at the same time.” 
“ Well, bow came Hannah’s father to desert his 
child?” I inquired. 
“When Hannah was about three year old, her 
mother’s health failed, and Mr. Whaly leaving her 
to the care of her grandparents, who were then liv¬ 
ing, went with his wife to the island of Cuba.— 
There he buried her, and near the same time 
heard from his brother Nathan, that bis father, 
mother and child had died of an epidemic. He 
had no wish to return home when every tie be bad 
on earth was severed, for little affection had ever 
existed between the brothers. He had wandejed 
nearly over the whole earth, and Braxton Lewis 
discovered him, by the merest accident, in Cali¬ 
fornia. He is rich—too rich to need a cent of his 
father’s property, and the best of all is, Mr. Rub 
bel is rich too. He made a fortune in two years, 
while Bkac. has toiled six, and is poor now — 
Hannah says she is glad of it, for her father has 
enough, and he is coming back to Kentucky. He 
and Squire Lewis are talking about an estate near 
Carrollton.” 
In the morning everybody was on the lookout 
for the bridal party. About nine o’clock they 
walked to the wharf. All seemed joyful, but there 
was a deep happiness resting upon the calm face 
of Mr. Russel that surpassed all the rest

BY MRS. S. WEBSTER LLOYD. 
[Concluded from last No.] 
There was alw'a.vs a picture of quiet domestic 
happiness at tbe Widow Hedges, after candle¬ 
light Sometimes Mr. Russel wonld read aloud 
while Myrta and her mother sat at work. Some¬ 
times he would join with Myrta in singing. The 
windows were scarcely ever closed, and it was a 
real treat to listen to the mnsio of their voices,— 
Mrs. Hedges often joined in some old soDg or 
familiar hymn. Hannah was often with them, 
adding her rich soprano. Occasionally the scene 
was varied; always when a letter came from Cali¬ 
fornia a restraint felt upon the little company. 
Sometimes for days Myrta would watch in vain 
for the appearance of Mr, Russel; then he would 
come again, and gradually the shyness and con¬ 
straint would wear away until, things went on as 
usual. 
By-and-by there began to be evident prepara¬ 
tions for a wedding. Myrta worked no longer 
on vests and pants. Articles of female apparel 
were embroidered. A few patterns of silk were 
seen—then a plainer material, evidently a travel¬ 
ing dress—finally delicate muslins and thin gossa¬ 
mer laces, white ribbons, gloves, &o, ? &c., had their 
turn. Hannah Whaly was always there now, and 
her taste seemed to direct everything. Mr. Ru9- 
bel came as usual, but there was no more readings 
or singings, except when Hannah studied the 
fashion plate or warbled Bnatcbes of song over her 
work. Mr. Russel’s pale face wore an uneasy, 
troubled expression. September had come and 
Lewis was expected. I watched the window cod. 
stantly for fear I might not see the first meeting of 
Mykta and her lover. 
One day Russel brought another letter. I saw 
him haDd it through the open window, and turn 
away without speaking. Poor fellow, I pitied him 
from the bottom of my heart,for I read in the ago¬ 
ny of his countenance tbe tokens of a hopeless 
love as plainly as I ever read it on a human face. 
The next day I stood oftener at my front window, 
watching Russel, than at the side one watching 
Mykta and her friend. He surely was packing up 
the contents of hia little shop. Ab, I saw it all 
now. He bad hoped against hope that something 
might intervene to prevent the marriage of Myrta 
and Lewis; and now he had given up that it must 
be. He was feverish and hurried in his move¬ 
ments, doing and undoing his work — standing at 
his counter awhile, then at bis desk, then leaning 
his head upon his bands in evident despair, then 
rousing hi msetf and going to work again. Finally 
he locked his shop and went to his boarding house. 
It was dusk when I saw him standing opposite, 
with a carpet-bag in his hand and an overcoat 
upon his arm. He walked a few steps towards the 
river, then paused irresolutely', and then turned 
and hastily entered Mrs. Hedges’ gate. I was 
quickly at the side window, Id time to Bee Myrta 
sink into a chair and rest her head upon the win¬ 
dow seat Russel entered without knocking and 
stood beside her. She did not raise her head._ 
“Myrta,” I heard him say, “I am about to leave 
W. It cannot be but you know why.” Harriet 
Lee came in aDd I partly dropped my curtain and 
turned away, I heard no more of their conversa¬ 
tion, but through tbe deep twilight, and until can¬ 
dles were lighted, Russel kept his place at her 
side. The shrill whistle of the steamboat sounded

The hair is a beautiful ornament of woman, hut 
it has always been a disputed point which color 
best becomes it We account red hair as by no 
moans the most preferable; but in the time of 
Elizabeth it found ardent admirers and was in 
fjshion. Mary of Scotland, though ahe had ex¬ 
quisite hair of her owo, wore red fronts. Cleo¬ 
patra was red-haired; and the Venetiun ladies 
to this day counterfeit yellow hair.
