THE LAUGH OF MY BOY. ! DY MRS. MARY JANE PHILLIPS, © - Ohj sweet to me Is the'lsugh of my boy, |~ = - Now gentle and mirthful, now ringing with joy; - It comes from-his heart with a bird-like tone, And a gushing ‘melody all'its o“rn, e . And it thrills my heart with its cadence wild— Oh, I lo¥e, I love the laugh of miy child! And sweet is the sound of his tiny feet As muni? made where the bright ya.telfs meet; : Their patter has, like soft summnier rain, | A power to soothe my heart’s dull pain, To chase the gloom from the weary hours 3 With thoughts of brighter suns and ﬂoﬂcn. "* But oh! when he climbs upon my knee, | And looks ipto my face so trustingly, oo Lisping “I Jeve you ma,” with his ruby lips, ~ . Smoothing my face with his finger tips. ; Ah, then, when I fold him close to my breast, . It-seems thiat I love his prattle the best. . ‘But sfill, when Igaze in his azure/eyes, And they answer me in silent replies, . » © Andit seems I can see the heart wl;hin As yet all free from the stain of sin, Ch then, his laugh and voice are sweet, = And merry the music of his little feet, 1 pray for the soul of my beaitiful boy, _That it may be‘kept from earthly alloy, e e ] : From tho Faniily Hevald, The Impromptu Marriage. “For. Heaven’s sake, Susy, do be serions if you can, for five minutes.— Pray, pray cease this trifling, which is but cruel playing with my feelings, and let us treat this subject as it deserves, soberly and seriously.” : “Well, there then!” cried the laughing black-eyed girl to whom Charles Westerly spoke. ¢There, then, is that grave enough? See, the corners’of my mouth are.duly turned down, and my eyes are rolled up, and I am as sober as a patient who has caught sight of the dentist’s instrument. Do 1 suit you?” : ' | “Yousnit me anyhow, & you know it well, you witch!”” eried Charles, gazing with a smile at the pretty face puckered up in its affectation & demureness. But be Wwas not to bedriven from his point,& he resumed gravely, after a pause: ‘the time has come, Susy, when I feel I have a right to demand an explicit an~ swer to my suit. . Yon have trifled with my present feclings long enough. I have grown restless under my fetters.’ ‘Shake them off, Charley!’ interrupted the’sauey girl, with a pretty defiant toss of her head, which plainly said ‘I defy you to do it.’ S ; ‘I cannot, Susy—and you know it,’ replied the hapless lover impatiently. “That being the case,’ said Susy, ‘take my advice —wear them gracefully and don’t pull and jerk so; It only makes them hurt you.” = : The young man turned' away, and walked silently up and down the room, cevidently fretting and fuming internally. "Susy, meantime, looked out of the window and yawned. Charles continued his moody walk. ol ’ ‘Oh, what a beautiful bird is on the lilac tree!’ cried Susy suddenly. ‘Do eome and see it e iy Charlesmeehanically, approached the window, and looked out. g ~ “Don’t you think,Charley,’ said Susy, laying her hand on his arm and looking up eagerly into his face, ‘don’t you think you can manage to'— = “What, Susy dear?” asked Charles, all his tenderness awakened by ler manner. ‘What?” | = Lo ‘Drop a pinch of salt on his back,” returned the provoking girl, with an affectation of simplicity; ‘for, then, you. know you can easily catch It.’ | His answer was to turn angrily away. His walk this time ‘was longer than before; and his cogitations were more earhest; for he did not heed any of Susy’s artful devices to ailure his notice. At last he stepped abruptly before her. T et R

‘Susy, for three long years I have been your suiter, without either confession of love or promise of marriage on your part- Often as I have demanded to know your sentiments towards me, you have always coquettishly refused me. an answer. This state of things must cease. I love you better than my life; but I will no longer be your plaything. - To-morrow you are going away to a distance, to be absent gome months; and if you cannot, this very day, throw away your coquétry anhd give me an honest ‘yes’ for my answer, [ shall consider that I have received a ‘no,” and act accordingly.” : ~“And how would that be? What would you do?”” asked Miss Susy curionsly. P '

. ‘Begin: by tearing your falge and worthless image from my heart!’ cried Charles; furiously. : ‘lt would be a curious piece of business, Charley; and you would not succeed, either.’ ‘ G I should and. wonld succeed,” said Charles, ‘as you shall see if you wish, eruel, heartles girl!’ : : - ‘But I don’t wish you to, Charley dear—l love dearly to have you love me,’ said Susy. - o ' ‘Why then, cried the foolish youth, quite won over again, ‘why then, dearest Susy, will you not consent? . .. “Remember, I said I liked to be loved,’ replied Susy; ‘I did not sdy anything about loving. But pray, how long did you say you had been courting

LIGONIER, IND. THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1858:

me, in that pretty little speech of yours? T - ik “Three long years,” replied Chatles. ‘Nearly anid accurately quoted, Charley. But you know my cousin Rachel was only won after five years courtship; you don’t suppose 1 am going to rate. myself #hy cheaper- thin shé did do you? Suppose we drop this tiresome subject for twd years; perhaps by that time I may be able to work myself up to the falling-in-love point—=there is no knowing what wonders time may effect.” - G e L “If youare not in love now, you never will be,” returned Charles, sturdily; ‘and I will have my answer now ornev: er.’ ; J ‘Never, then,” laughed Susy. But she had gone astep too far. Heroften severely. tried lover was new too much in earnest to bear her trifling any long€er. | 2 ~‘Never be it then!” he eried and; seizing his hat, he strode from the room. Susy listened to his receding footsteps with dismay. Had she, indeed, by her incorrigible love of coquetry, fost him? - It smote her to the soul to think so. - As she heard him open the front door, impelled by a feeling of despair, she raised the window sash, and, leaning forward she whispered— - ‘Charley, Charley! you will be at the boat to-morrow to bid me good bye won’t you? Surely -we are still friends.”. Gy i

As she spoke, she | tore a rose from her bosom, and threw it at him. It lodgsd on his arm, but he brushed it away, as though it had been poison, and passed-on without looking &ip. .- Susy spent the rest of the day it tears. - Karly the next morning, the bustle of departure began. -Susy was going to accompany her widowed mother on a trip for her health. ' As they reached the 'wharf and deseended from the carriage, Susy’s eyes made themselves busy in searching for one wished -for face, bul it %as howhere to be seen. ¢ o

The steamboat lay panting and puffing, seemingly impatient to belet loose. Susy’s mother, aided by the sérvant man who had accompariied théin, had already t¢rosgéd the gangway which lay between the wharf and the hoat and Susy was reluctantly following, when the sound of a voice behind her —the voice she so longed to hear—startled her. She turned to look round, and, missing her footing, fell into the water. ¢

Another instint, Chailes had thrown off his coat,and calling out loudly, ‘tell the captain, not to allow the wheel to stir, aad lower me a rope!” he sprang into the river, But of her whont he was risking his life to save, he was unable te she any trace. ¢ Judging that the current of the river' might have carried her a little forward, he swam around the wheel; but still he saw het not, and despair seized his heart as he conjectured that she might be under the boat. He strained his eyes to see through the water, and at length, discerned, far below the sur~ face, what seemed the end of a floating garment lodged between the wheel and the round bottom of the boat. - If this indeed were the unfortunate gitl, the least movement of the wheel must inevitadly erush her, and Charles in his terror fancied it was already beginning to turn. "He dived and clutched at the garment, but missed it. He fose panting; 'and almost exhausted, biit scardély waiting to take breath, he again plunged below. This last time his efforts were rewarded with success, at least so far that he was able te bring het to the surface of the water; but she scemed totally lifeless. - Charles was 80 nearly exhausted that he had only sufficient presence of mind left to clasp Susy convulsively to him, while he kept himself afloat by holding on to

. But this last hope of support seemed also to fail him soon, as he perceivde that it was now really beginning to turn rouud. By a desperate effort he struck his foot against one of the paddles so as to push himself as far from danger as possible. As heé did so something touched ' his head, and his hand grasped a rope. New life now seemed infused into him. He gathered all his energies, and fastened the rope around Susy’s waist—consciousness then forsook him. In the mean time the witnesses of the scene,after giving Charles’ instructions to, the , Captain, had ngt;:hed his struggles and exertions with breathless interest. The friendly rope had been thrown to him again and again, but in the excitement of%%is feel: ings, and his semi-ingensibility, he had, been incapable of availing himself of the proffered aid. ¢ : At last, perceiving that he was quite exhausted, and must inevitably soon let go his h;&d on the wheel and then probably sink to rise no more, the captain judged it best to run the risk of moving og, 80 that a small boat could be sent to the réseue; =

- - The result of this hazardous experimeut was successful. Susy was raised by means of the rope, and the boat reached Charles in time to save him also. - Both sufferers were taken on board

the steamboat which How rapidly moved off to make up for lost timé: And thus, whea our hero regained his consciodstiess, he found himself many miles from hon. - Of course his ast anxious inquiry was for Susy, and When he was informed that she was fapidly retovering, his happiness seemed completé. = Heshowed his contentment by turning over, and fallitig idto a deep quiet sleep. o ‘ ' _About sunset, a message came to ll:im that Miss B—— desired seeing im. ; :

. He foiind her lying on the sofa in the captain’s state-room, which had Been given up to her. Her mother Waéd sitting beside her. She looked pale and somewhat Buffering, but she held out her hand to him very gratefully, while the tears stood in Her eyes. *Charles;,’ she said, without offefing a word of t}nanks, “] want to see a clergyman. -Is there one one on board?’ ‘I will go and see, said Charles, moving to the door; buta dreadful thought striking him he turned, exclaiming, ‘Susy do you think that'—— ‘That I am going to die?” said she anticipating him. No, Charles, but I want to see a clergyman/’ - Charles went,and soon returned with a minister. v

.+ ‘I thank you, sir, for eoming to sce me; said Susy to the latter, 88 he entered: ‘I have a strange request to make to.you. Would you object, sir, in the presence, and with [the consent of my mother, to unite me to this gentlemang : :

I the minister was astonished at this request, Charles tas infinitely more 80. ‘What did you say, Susy?’'— said he. ‘Did I hear aright?” ‘I believe so,’ said Susy smiling at his. eager amazemetnit. ‘Does the scheme meet with yout approval?”’ - ‘lt was heaven inspired! ecried the poor fellow, frantic with joy—but a shade coming over his radiant face, he addéd gravely, ‘but, Susy have you considered? Remember, 1 want your love, not your gratitude. I will be satisfied with nothing less.” 3 ‘Do not bv venceriied about ‘ﬂ;{t, dear Charles,’ replied Susy, gazing at him veéry tenderly through her tears; ‘be assured you have them both, and :md"the first long before you had the last.

‘Never mind what I said yesterday,’ interrupted “Susy, with some of her old spirit breaking out. - ‘Just mind what I say to-day; If I was a fool ouce, is it any reason why I should be one always? But indeed, Charles,’ she added, more softly, ‘I have always meant to be your wife—the otily scruple that I have is that I am pot half good enough for you = | It needless to say kow' the diseussion ended. The reader has already divined that Charles continued his journey; and thus, in the course of one eventful day he risked a life, saved a life made an impromptu marriage, and set out on a most unexpencted weddihg trip. — et @ : A Whopper.

Northern Demoériits Not to have Garden Seeds—it being Unconstitutioual. -Tt has puziled many wise men to find out what is the precise definition of Democraey, and to know what are genuine Democratic principles; and Norlhern Demoerats cspecially have been greatly troubled to keep pace with the Bonstantly turning table of platforms which their Southetn’ bretheren lay down for them at their National Conventions:

A recent didcussion in the Senate gives 4 pleasant illustration of these difficulties. A motion was pending to strike out an appropriation bill the usual clause in favor of the Patent Office— ' Sl

. “For collection of agricultural statistics, investigation [for promoting agriculture and rural etonomy, and the procurement of cuttings and ‘seeds, $60,000.” ' ;

And Mr. Iverson, of Georgia, took occasion to rebuke his brother Demscrats for their treachery to party in supporting such an unconstitutional expendituré. Some parts of the dsbate are instrictive and we give them: “Mr Iverson. But two Scnators upon this floor have advocated this apptopriation of €60,000. One is the Senator fBm Texas, [Mr Houstoh,) and the other the Senator from Pennsylvania on this side of the Chamber, ['zx\‘lr Bigler.] Now, sir, the Senator from Texas, I believe, does nat claim .to be a member of ‘the Democratic party. In fact Ido not know what party he does claim to belong to. I think heis a sort of miongrel pelitician, and it is very difficult to classify him. He goes: for about everything and anything that suits his own: discretion and taste; and his taste is generally very correct. And he can advoeate this thing and that thing ani the other, and any thing he chooses, without being inconsistent, so far as regards his political pringiples, bécause I do not understand that he possesses any political principles. But the Senator from Pennsylvania, within the sound of my voice—he is not in his seat but I should like him to come in, because I should like to catechise him for a moment—=professes to belong to the Democratic party; at least, heis a member of the Democratic organization; and the cardinal piinciplé of that party, if I understand it is, that Congress can exercise no power, except the power be granted in the Constitution, or it be negessary and proper in order to carry out some specific grant. . * “Now, sir, T ask tha Senator from Pennsylvania fora little information. I am a mere tyro in politics, and he is a very experienced and distinguished man. I desire lim to point out the clause in the Constitution which authorizés Congress to expetid money to buy seeds for the planters. I ask for information; because if there 1s such a ¢lause, I have never been able to discoyer it. Perhaps the greater acutehess of that Senator may have enabled hithi to discover the clause which authorizes this appropriation. I wish to ‘be informed; I am a séhollar ready to receive ittformation. I want -the Senator to point out to me the clause in the Constitution of the United States which authorizes the expenditure of money out of the public treasury to biy seed)s to distribute to the planters of this country, or buy any other property for general distribution: The Senator like myself went to that desk, when hé was introduced into this body, and took a solemn oath to observe the Constitution of ths United States. This is a Goveriiment of limited poweis. It can exercise no power excépt that which is specifically granted. Now, sir, I want that Senator to anrswer me, how he reconciles it to his censcience, as an honerable and honest inan, to vote for suzh a proposition as this? He is 4 mieinber :’qu the Democraiic party; the cardinal feature 6f that party is, that this power cannot be exercised; and yet he votes forat. B a s ERinh bes

“Bir, it 1s said that the Senator is the ‘right bower,’ speaking in commnion patlance, [laughbei"i)—‘-‘-il fiedil in gambler’s phrase—of a Democratic Executive. Well, sir, I shouid be very sorry to think that the present Democratic Executive would vote appropriations of this sort, or sanction them. If he would he is-not the Deniderat I take hiti. to be; ke isnot the Democrat I took him to be when I voted for him. If he.is that fishy Democrat that might be iiiferred from guch a proposition as this; I would not vote for hith again.— THete area great many Democrats, in the Northern States especially, who go off upon these large constructive power of the government.. The Senator from Pennsylvania and others sometimes vote for internal improvements. How dd they arrive at it?” -~ - . Mr Bigler, of Pa., Mr Buchanan’s mouthpiece—feeling- for once a little unpleasantly, under the Southern lash ng&dd@#‘»“' S . “Mr Bigler. I have notbeen in the habit, sir, if I understand myself at all, of regulating my action by reference. to popularity. I think I can repel that charge with about asmuch safely as my honorable friend from Georgia. The

question that oceupied this country, for four long months of this session, may have been or may not have been aques: tion of popularity for the S’enitu:’&o’m Georgia; it was a question in which that honorable Senator felt deeply ins terested. ~ Hir, had 1 fcared popular feeling I, should not Tluvpa’@bgd'w&aﬁ honorable Senator on that question.— When the Senator from Georgia shall have met what Nerthern Senators and Northern Democrats have met, year after year, in strazgling for the constitu: tional rights of his people, then he may be at liberty to talk about the responsibility of voting for or against garden seeds, radish seeds, turnip sceds, onions, cabbages, and sugar cane.— [Laughter,] Why, Mr. President, no ‘man would” suppose that the honorable Senator could be so excited abont sugat cane and onions. . [‘La'uéhter.] - Itis scarccly genercusin the Senator to rise here and catechize an experienced member like myself, on a great eonstitutional question-—the question whether onion dceds | bave been constitutionally sent abroad.- [Laughter.] He appeals to te on the solemuity of my oath.— [Hc says that, like bim, I took an oath to sustain the constitution; and if I vote for these seeds to the people of Pennsylvania, I shall have Egge fviolence to my couscicnee.

‘Mr. Houston. ‘I was very mueh surprised - Mr. President, by the assault made: upon me ‘by my. friend ffom Georgia—will not may my venerable but 1 will say my juvenile friecnd. [ admit that speaking is very unnccessary on the present occagion, and 1 dis: like to interfere in this matler, Tor it is a very pretty quarrel as it stands, between these two Democratic’ gentlemen, [Laughter.] The Senator from Georgir says that I -helong to no party'— Weld, sir, that is a great convenience; because there is no disgension in my party. ' T am perfectly acéordant _witK myself. I heard the honorable Senator from Mississippi, [Mr. Davis,] yesterday, complain of breaking up—a splid. among the' Democracy on certain ques.. tions. I have no complaint of that kind to make in regard to my party—ll am a unit. [Laughter.] I have no dissensions whatever ‘with- myself. I try to keep my ecdnscience as void as possible ©f all offence, and therefore I always feel strong in the faith that T am right, But really it seems to me strange that such a violent phillippie ghould have been delivered -by tlie honorable Senatot from Georgia,against the distribution of sceds and other con! veniencics to the public, and that the Segator from Missouri should talk as if it were catering. for popularity on this occasion; that we were advocating the interests, of the farmers or the mechanics. T mentioned neither farmers nor mechanies. e e “The seeds that I have been disﬁ-’i‘)i uting generally liave not been for farm--ing purposes, but for culinary and garden purposes. . The Senator from Geor: gia arraigns me, too, for miy gallantry to the ladies; in endeavoring to eontrib‘ute to their convenience and to the supply of their tables—their fvegéiab}e' ‘wants: Ido not beleive that thisia any evidence of catering oh my part, for popularity, for it is pretty well un-’ deratood that, if T have been catering for it. 1 have no aspiratione upon the faco of the eéarth at this time, in advocating this weasure, bit to contribute to the general coinfort of the families of tho country, whether they bave ¥oted to give or votes to withhold. I believe I would prefer sendizg :vads to widows rather than to those who had husbandy to procure for them thesoneceseary veg: etable ¢onvenienees. -
