have a prosperous voyage. Every scene


was gilded with the brightest prospect OF


connubial happiness. But reared upon the
lap of luxury, he had acquired habits from


which he could not break off, and which
soon proved his overthrow.


Eliza Snead is a lonely, disconsolate wi
dow. Her hair once dark and glossy, has
prematureIy whitened. Her cheek, once
the rival of the rose, has grown paid with
care and anxiety. Her eye, once lighted
up with the fire of love, has been dimned
by grief Her voice, once shrill and melo-
dious, has lost much Of its music. Once
her bosom heaved with the lofty aspira-


ions of the youthful maiden, now il heayes
with disappointment and trouble.


Eliza! Ils true that thou art left upon
the ocean of life alone, but he who is "
husband 10 the widow will guide thy lit
tie bark softly across its billowy surges =
Well do remember the strange reflections
which crossed my mind, as gazed upon
thatform. She was tender, loving wife
the pride Of her husband-the ornament of
her family. ''t ' Elm. '71" "'4


h Whenever Renry was the least oppress
sed by care, there she stood like guardian
angel ready TO raise his bowed head, and to
offer consolation Whenever he was impa-
tent correspondent, she was alway ready to
soothe, and to bid him hope on still amid
the many vicisstudes of life. And even in
the dying hour, when all others forsook--
when frantic with madness heraved and
struggled in mighty conflict with the last
enemy Of MANN that hour SO lone and
dreary- SO trying and awful she did not
forsake him Though he had often left her
by night and by day, yet she could never
leave him. There she stood by his dying
couch, watching closely every pulsation Of
his heart administering ease and offering
comfort even amid the papgs ofdea.h-
And after death she followea his body to
the grave; but there they parted, perhaps
to meet no more forever. Oh the thought
of an eternal separation. Appalling idea
soul-stfrring refection!! " z


Young widow lonely one! Although
the partner Of thy bosom is gone, thou may
est trust In God. He hath said, 6 will
never leave nor forsake thee.n Though the
pale moon may Shine dimly, and cast over
thy dwellinga a faint, gliRmering light-aI-
though the winds of Heaven may sigh
mournfully around, and every thing may
seem to augment the aching of thy, heart
still remember. that" God rules on high"
Lookup to him through thy tears. He
listens to thy sighs. He hears thy mour-
ming, When all earthly hopes seem to fade
and die, he is the hope Of the hopeless"
look through thedark cloud which over
hangs the sky, and catch that sound, which
is music to the mourner's ear, !" Earth has
no sorrow which heaven cannot heal.n
