BARBARA'S COURTSHIP. Tis just three month and eke a day, Since in the meadows raking hay On looking up I chanced to see The manor's lord, young Arnold Lee, With a loose hand on the rein, Riding slowly down the lane. As I gazed with earnest look On hi face, as on a book, As if conscious of the gaze Suddenly he turned the rays Of his brilliant eyes on me; Then I looked down hastily, While ray heart, like caged bird, Fluttered till it might be heard. Foolish, foolish, Barbara. We had never met before, He had been so long away, Visiting some foreiipi shore, I had heard my father say. What in truth was he to roe, Rich and handsome Arnold Lee? Fate hal placed us farapirt; Why, then, did my restless heart Flutter when his careless glance Fell on me by merest chance? Foolish, foolish, Barbara. There are faces are there noO That can never be forgot! Looks that, seen but once, impress With peculiar vividness: So it was with Arnold Lee. Why it was, I cannot say That through all the lire-long day He seemed ever near to me, While I raked, as in a dream, Now the same place o'er and o'er, Till my little sister child, And w ith full eyes open wide, Much in wonder, gently cried, "Why, what ails thee, Barbara ' I am in the fields again: 'Tis a pleasant day in Juno, All the songsters are in tune, Pouring out their matin hymn.All at once a conscious thrill Led me, half against my will, To look up. Abashed I see His dark eyes full fixed on me. What be 3aid I do not know, But his voice was soft and low As lie spoke, in careless chat, Now of this and now of that, While the murmurous waves of sound Wafted me a bliss profound. Foolish, foohh Barbara. Am I waking? Scarce 1 know If I wake, or if 1 dream, So unreal all things seem; Yet I could not well forego This sweet dream, if dream it bo, That has brought such joy to me. And when I, with cheek a-glow, Told him that it was not meet IIo should wed with one so low. Then he said, in accents sweet, Far be thoughts of rank or pelf;

Dear, 1 love thee lor thyself 1 " Happy, happy Barbara. KATY 'AKLIKG 15V KICIIAKD KRANSIIAW. ' Well, Kftty, tho cold word must be spoken, and m:iy be it's better now than waitin' till mornin and only ivin' frosh sorrow to our hearts. I'll say good-night and good-bye; and may all the guardians of the innocent protect my Katy till I return and claim her for my own thrue wife. God bless you, Katty I Uod keep and watch over )e !' And as lie spoke, Dermot 'Neil took the half-fainling girl in his arms and pwss' ed her gentlj again, and again, to his heart. It may be long years will rowl over both our heads before the time arrives when I return, vkh yy in my heart, and gold in mv Docket, to wed the triil I've pled red W ft W A O my troth to ; bu' Ivaty, dear, bo sure of one thing, my love tor you cannot change, nor grow cold; and while that bright, winkin' star alxv our heads looks down upon tho earth as it does now, so long will Dermot O'Ncil b thrue to the tri il of bis heart. j Kiss me once again, darling, and then un loose your own dear arms from about my neck. while mv manhood holds its strength. and be for a 1 become little better than a child.' Summoning all her fortitude, she released him, and stood erect by his side, only continuing to rest one hand upon his shoulder, n3 she gazed up into his honest face. ' (lit Dprmnf. ilfi.ir. rrn ! You SAv thruo. V V W Q- - J V i: is better that we part now. You have a stout heart and a ready hand, and with these in tho new land where you'er goin', thousands hare succeeded bofore.and why not you? Go, thin, Dermot, and remember there is a lond prayer from a lovin' heart goin up to Heaven for you every night you are away; and while I sit in in solitude and silence, and watch that same bright star, besure I'm thinkln' of yod, and of the last time we gazod on it together, and plighted again tho Vows never to be broken only by death.' That's my own Katy ; you give me new strength seem' the hope that is barin you up in th'i3 way. Partin's not quite so hard now. There, once moro good-bye, and once more, God in Heaven keep you till I clasp you again in these arms 1 And so parted the lovers, he to toil in a strange land for tho bread lio could not earn upon the soil of his birth, and she to count tho days and hours whence once moro bis footsteps should be heard, and the sound of his voice send a thrill of joyto Lr Tiow so sadly desolate heart, more desolate still from the fact of her being both fatherless and motherless, livinir among strangers, and dependent almost upon the hand of charity tor the shelter ot a roof. James Carrol, a young man filling tbo situation of lodge-keeper or porter on th estate of a gentleman whose mansion overlooked the village of Danmearjr, was at one time one of Kate Clennon's most assiduous suibjrd, but as the affection exist

ing between her and Dermot O'Neil manifested itself, he appeared gradually to' withdraw his pretentions, and now treated her no more than as a friend, appearing to be satisfied that she never could, towards him pelf, show any other feeling than that of friendship. She saw him but rarely, and then it was but to exchange a passing remark and each pursue their own way. The days and hours flew by and now nearly two years had elapsed since the departure of Dermot O'Neii foi a foreign land. 1Ü9 be.rothed heard from him with the greatest regularity, and his letters breathed everything of increasing fondness and remembrance. He was doing well, he wrote, and had even begun to turn his thoughts towards returning to ihe land of his birth, and upon his le-embarkation, taking her back with him to his pleasant home in the new world. It was JarneS Carrol that brought these letters over with him from the post-office in me market town, and considering that he was himself a disappointed woer, she th lUghl this very kind and con sideia'.e of him, and proceeding from the most disinterested of motives. Af er these letters had been received with the greatest punctuality lor all this length of time, they now, strange to say, began to arrive more tardily; the delay between each became more lengthy still, and finally, to hsr terror, they ceased altogether. She would sit as she used to do, and watch at the cottage window for the sound of James Cairol'8 cart rattling along the road, and then upon its appearance, unable to control her anxiety, would rush out and demand of him whether he yet brought the Iong-wished-for letter. The usual reply, accompanied by a sorrowful shake of the head : ' No, Katy, there's no letter this time for ye, but never mind ; ther'll be one to-mor-row without fail. Keep up your heart, Katy, keep up your heart !' She was sealed in the same green spot whore she had parted from him now two years ago, and as she sat there she thought of that interview, and of the holy promise he had made to her, -that while the 6tar she gazed on should shed its light upon the earth, so long would he be the same true and faithful lover to her that he ever had been. She would believe him she could not make up her mind to do otherwise. He might be ill dying ! who knew what might bo the matter ? But, untrue to her after that solemn promise? never ! A step by her side startled her meditations, and looking up she beheld the tigure of James Carrol. . Hiood evening, Kate, a kind good eveninjif.' She thought his voice trembled as he spoke. 4 1 did not see you pass by the cottage to-day, James. 1 suppose you had not time to go up to town to-day ?' He hesitated a moment before replying. Yes, 1 did go, but ' ' O, don't say the word that I dread to hear. Another day, and still no word. 4 1 don't know, Katy, dear, what to say;' he took her hand yently rrs he spoke ; I wint, an I pid get a letthcr 1 4 O, give it to me don't keep me a moment longer in suspense. I'll die if you keep it from mc, James Carrol ! ' Still he hesitated, as though he had some information to impart, but scarcely kn-ew how to break it to her. 4 Why do you hesitate, James Carrel ? Sure it's cruel to torture me in this way. 2Je tho news what il may, I can bear it better than thh delay.' The letther, Katy, is from Dermot O'Neil, but it is not directed to you.' Not to me? why, how what do you mean? O, I know, it's ill he is, an' he thought to break it more gently to me by sendin' it to another first, and tellin' him to break ii to mrt bv decrees. Dear Der mot, ho would not give me one pain that hi could avoid. No, Katy, it's not that ' Then speak, James Carrol !' said she, starting up vehemently ; 4 tell me at once, all you have to say, or you'll see me mad before you. My heart and my brain have already been taxed beyond their strength. Do it what it may yd have to toll mo I must hear it now !' Katy, the man you place so much confidence in, is not worthy of your love. He is not thrue to you.' How dare you say that to me? You stand before me with your pretended honesty, and tell me what you know to be false as your own evil heart ! U is useless. I'll not believe Dermot O'Neil to be unthruo, any more than I'll doubt that grass grows and water runs.' But av I show you the proofs, Kate Llennon, ot what I vo tould to, to must be.ieve. I know it's hard, and why Dermot gave it into my hnds to break the news to you, I know not. But as you know his hand-writing, just look at that letther, and you'll maybe own that you have done me wrong. As he spoke he handed her a letter from his breast directed to himself, and in the hand-writing that she knew so well. The beams of tho moon gave just enough light to allow of its being read, but she essayed in vain to make anything of the characters; for there was a swimming within tho brain and an indistinct mist before her eyes, that rendered it impossible for her to read. In a husky voice she murmured forth : Tell mo what it says there ; read me the letther, as you hopo for peaco on earth and rest in heaven don't deceive me in a line - He says here, that he could not summon tho courage to break you the news that ho felt that ho ought to tell ; but that he hopes that I'll do him the friendly service, and as well as I know how to inform you of all, and break to you tho news as gently as I can. When I should get the letther ho would bo alreadycalm yourself, Katy, tied to another, a young woman, tho daughter of tho man in whoso employment ho is, and right well to do in tho world. IIo hopes you will soon forget him, and take from those left at home

a husband who will thrait you kindly, and in whose arms you'll forget him ; and that hVll ever think kindly of you as long as he

lives. And so he finishes. fie looked down towards her as he fin ished reading, aiid wondered that she sat there so calm' and motionless. The hirhl of the full-nioon fell down upon her face, and he saw that it wa3 quite white and death -I'fce," and' that her eyes were staring straight out before her, fixed upon vacancy. He felt alarmed, and touched hr upon the arm. 4 Katy ! Katy 1 ' Still she moved not, nor looked towards him. Katy ! Why don't yo answer, shall I take ye home?' She slowly lifted her eyes towprds the stars, and fixing her gaze upon one, pointed with her finger towards it. Look, it's there to-night as it always is, it's waiting with me for Dermot's return. O, it'a the beautiful little star, and smiles and winks at m as I look up at it in the si ill and quiet of the night, as much 'is to say, wait only a little longer, he'll be here soon and keep the oath that ho took upon him that night when he c lied upon me to bear witness to his wcrds, keep waiting patiently, Katy, but a little while longer !' James Carrol lifted her face towards his own, and as he caught the full gaze of her eye, he saw that the heavily taxed brain had at length lost it's power, and that sweet Kiity Darling was a smihrrg, harmlessly gentle idiot, idly plucking the wild-flowers and the grass at her feet, and tossing them listlessly away to be borne off upon the soft breath cf the summer's breeze. Close by the outskirts of the village ran a rapid stream, beside whose banks many a time had tho former lovers wandered hand in hand, or seated themselves beside it, planned bright pictures for the future in store for them. Scarcely a week had passed when some of the villagers discovered, lying upon its banks, the well known hood and scarf that Katy Darling was always seen to wear. Nothing had been seen of her for some hours, and the sad conelusio i presented itself to all, th.u poor Katy had either by accident or intention precipitated heiself into the stream. Th ey noticed, too.tha' the broiv of James Carrol had boconie lined and his cheeks hollow and thin, and though he had never be-n much of a favorite with the people of the country round, yet now as they saw him pass slowly by and saw those traces of feeling upon his countenance, they looked one towards the other, and said in low tones poor fellow, he takes it much tc henrrt. - James Carrol was a better man than we jave him credit for.' The dead body of a woman was found soon afier lioating i:i the river at ihe distance of some miU?3 from Dunmeary. and af;er an inquest at the spot where it was picked up, it was claimed by the inhabitants of the village, and by them decently interred. The kind-hearted neighbors, not content with merely providing it with a resting place, put together their small means and over the mound of grass grown earth raised a little white stone, bearing the simple inscription of 4 Katv Darling ;' and as the stranger, passing by, inquired tho history of it, they told him tho affecting tale and it rarely happened that both narrator and listener had not tears in their eyes ere it was concluded. One evening a stranger alvtjhted at the villairo tavern, took- a stroll in the direction of tl.'e' grave-yard wherein stood the grave of pooi Kate Clennon. As he walked slowly along, he began speaking low to himself, and the drift of I113 communinrs was somewhat in this wise : I could not help coming1 once again to visit tho old spot, though it is painful to look upon the scenes of once happy hours. Had she but have remained constant how different might it have been.' He had by this timo reached the little grave-yard, and undoing the simple wicket gate ho entered and began glancing over the inscriptions. IIo paused over several, and as ho read them, murmured forth : What, another gone ? Well, well, we shall all lay thus o le day, and what matter that one is gone a little whilo before the other ?' The new white stone next caught his eye, and bo glanced toward it. As though a bullet had been fired from an unseen quar ter and had struck him to the heart, he could not have received a grcator shock. Shednud? she dead? This was all that his- trembling lips could utter, and he repeated the words again and again. A footstep by his sido startled him not, and it was not until a voice addressed him that ho turned and found a lad standing by him. You'll may be looking at 'tho ground that covers Katy Darling, sir?' Yes can you tell me anything of her death ? Speak I' The boy at once entered into the Story of tho unfortunate girl s ceatn, anu as ne proceeded, could not but perceive the palor that overspread the stranger's face, nor the tremblino; that hul seized his limbs as ho told him all he knew. 4 And so, sir, sho wa3 buriod there, as you see, and all of us as wo go by her grave drop an Avc-Maria to the rest of her poor 6owl. But you'ro ill, sir will I seo you to tho tavern ?' No, no ; gJ leave me. 1 would be alonealone with the doad. There, go.' And placing a piece of money in tho boy's hand, he was soon left to himself. 4 And go you'ro dead, Katy, and 'twas I that killed you I I, that would have given my life 0. how willingly! to save yours, darlingl But and as he spoke his teeth were set hard together 'tho earth shall not hide that viper from mo 1 If James Carrol is above ground, ho shall feel my vengeance! 0, Katyl Katy I' And the tears gushed forth from his eyes and fell on tho sod besido which ho was now kneeling. To think that 1 should Lavo been auch a.vih tool aa to ueucve tue worus which

that scoundrel wrote to me that I should have ever dared to doub: the truth of her who was truth itself! O, Katy! Kity! And he fell upon the turf and hurried his face in the lioli grass that flourished upon its surface. A gentle voice aroused him. WTho is ii that calls upon the name of Katy ? See, she is here. Who are you that asks for her ? ' He looked up in fearful agitation, for the voice wis a wll-remembered one O, how well -remembered ! A female figure stood by his side, gazing vacantly at his face. Her hair hung in dishevelled masses upon her scarce cover'd bosom, and her feet were shoeless and bleeding. The face was fearfully emciaied and pale as the snow upon the mountain's top. Was this some dream of hiä excited imagination ? or was there really truth in

the old supers:::;.,! ut spirits revisiting the scenes of their earthly sojourn ? This face was that of he could not be mistaken that of Kate Clennon ! I am tired of waiting for his return. From my cave upon the mountain I look out at night and seo the star that ia watehing with me. But it seems to be growing weary ten?, and its light is ever becoming still paler as I look towards it.' He sprang to his feet and seized her in his arms. Katy ! Katy ! O, what is this? Don't you know me? 'Tis I Dermot O'Neil that thus clasps you in his arms ! Speak A to me let me once moro hear your voice! 0, what fearful mysiery is hidden here?' She looked at him still listlessly, while he went on rapidly. 4 1 never wa3 untrue to you, Katy, but I have kept my oath, and it is you, my darling, that is tho victim of a vile) deception fiom one vou took to be a friend. Don't you know me yet ? Don't you know your Dermot ?' He paused, and gazed with fearful earnestness into her face. Was ho riirht ? Yes there was a ray of intellect beaming loiwi iiom iivi cj. i txtv I, t rtT.-. ' Look, Ivaty ; there above us is the same star that looked down upon us on that night when w parted, fcec. u is shining bn-luer than ever I It knows lull well that 1 ami here the same as when I left you. It's j smiling upon me now, and sure tho star could not do that and me tellin' you a black lie before it. The ray of intelligence grew blighter - her eyo expanded, her cheek -lowed as si listencd. James Carrol tould ye all that a villiau could conceive, and I heard it all to-night for the first lime from the hps of a village boy. Ho wroti loiters to me purporting to come from you. and to you ho read one he said was from my ham, Katy, he lied ! And only let me .ee you look into my face with ono of your own old glances, and if the wretch is to bo found, he shall suffer the fate he so richly desorve. Don't you know me yet, Katy Darling? Don't you hear ray voice ? and doesn't it remind you of the happy times of old?' The bright ray of soul had grown still brighter, and as he ended, her white lips parted to murmur forth, in natural tones. the well remembered name of 4 Dermot 1' as she sank into his arms and gave full vent to a Hood of gushing teats. He bore her tenderly forth, and in a very short time she was in the hands of those who would watch over her with the tenderest care ; and in tho meantime tho news had flown like wild-fire through the country-side that Ivaty Darling was not dead nor drowned, and that Dermot O'Neil was not the brack-hearted villian they had for so long a time supposed him. And James Carrol? A few fearful sentences tell the remainder of his history. A band of resolute-looking men had collected together and determination of securing him before tho opportunity should present itself of his escape. Iheir ncrccly-kmt brows and compressed lips augured but little for their moderatforr should ho show the least resistence. But their labor was in vain, and they were spared, perhaps, the crime that might have hung upon their consciences. Anived at his house, ho was not to be found ; and a strict search ended in tho discovery of his body suspended from tho limb of a tree hard by his dwelling, The news had reached him somehow, and driv en to dispair, he had committed suicide by hanging himself. From such fearful thoughts we turn away in horror, and seek once more the gentle Katy 's side. Did he not watch over her with the loving-kindness of a mother ? And was it not in his arms that the tender and bruised flower found a resting place af:erall the storms that had swept so fiercely over it ? It is blooming oico again as fresh as ever, and around tho parent stem a cluster of little, gentle buds aro putting forth the first delicate hues of their young presence, onj by one, and adding still further joys to the overflowing cup of their parent flower.

What He Hight Have Been. J. G. Holland, editor of the Springfield Mass. Republican, has been rusticating up in Vermont, and enjoying himself among the farmers. He thus writes to his paper upon what might have been his fate

a happier one by far than is to be experienced in the editorial effice: 44 Imagine your correspondent imagining the kind of life he might have led (and came very near leading, for that matter,) among the hills as a farmer. He would have grown up stalwart and strong, with horny hands and a face as black as the ace of spades. He would have taught school winters, as he did worked on the farm summers, and gone out haying lor fifteen days in July at a dollar a day, and taken for pay the iron-work and running gear cf a wagon. At two-and-twenty, or thereaboutR, he would have begun to pay atteniiohä 10 " jih a father worth two thousand dollars, and a spit-curl on her forehead a girl who always went to singingschool, and 'sat in the seats,' and sung without opening her mouth a darnaticn pretty erirl any way. It would have been a strife between him and Tom Butts to see which should have her. Well, alter seeing her home from singing-school one or two seasons, (Tom Butts being triumphantly 'cut out,') and taking her to the fourth ot July, and gettinp about a hundred dollars together, he would have married her and settled down. Years would pass awav.

Notwithstanding tho shortness of the distance the depth at one part is equal to the great est depth of the Atlantic plateau. 1 he rahlo. howovor. w.i nni.l nut r.ini.llt- in.li without accident, and little doubt is outertained of its permanent safety. Newell it ! Co., tif Birkenhead, - Liverpool, were the! manufacturers, and they had contracted to take all, the risk of tho operation. lhe length of line used was 172 miles, and its cost JC50.000.

rt friendly correspondent , writing from Washington, Pa., says: 44Liko most: other small towns, we have here a colored church,' where many amusing things are said, highly exhilarating to tho spirits cf the few who occasionally visit our 'Hajti, meetinghouse, llayti' is the name given to that part of our town where 'pussoui of color reside. One winter evening, when the colored preacher wa3 in the midst of his sermon, making a most violent if not a most eloquent appeal to his hearers, ono of the legs of the etove, which had been loosened in some way, fell out, and as a natural consequence, tho red hot stove tipped OTer zX an ar.gle alarmingly suggestive of fire. The audience of coura commenced crowding out of tho door like a flock of black sheep. Biit tin preacher was equal to the occasion. Addressing one of his prominent members, he cried out: 'Pick up de stobey bruddcr Bolah! pick up de stobe! DeLoit' won't let it burn you! Only hab faith.' Poor brother Bolar had unfortunately too much faith, and immediately seized it, all glowing as it was; but na sooner had his lingers come in contact with j the fervent iron, than he dropped it again, j and dancing aound on one foot blowing his j skinless fingers, no exchr.med with all the energy which ho could throw into his voice: "De h 1 he wont! do h 1 h: won,t!'
