tho voices of the crickets,
usurping sau alutig tile lea,
Are the very tears ot music
Unto melancholy me;
And the Katty-did's responses
Up among the locust loaves,
Make my spirit veiy lonesome
On these pensive autumn eves.
For they mind me, Emma Stuart,
Of ihe by-gone blessed time,
When our heart-beats paired together
Like sweet syllables in rhyme;
Ere the faith of love was broken,
And our lucked hearts fell apart,
And the vanity of promise
Left a void in either heart
Art thou hpppy, Emma Stuart?
I sgain may happy bo
Nevermore; the autumn insects,
In tho grass and on the tree,
Crying as for very sorrow
At the coming of the frost,
Are to me Love's fallen angels,
Wailing for their heaven lost
Often, often, Emma Stuart,
On such solemn nights as this,
Have we sat and mused together
Of the perfoclness of bliss
Of the hope that lit the darkness
Of tho future with its ray,
Which was like a star in heaven,
Beautiful, but far away I
By the gateway, where tho locust
Of the moonlight made eclipse.
And the river ripples sounded
Like the murmur of sweet lips:
There a little maiden waited,
Telling all the moments o'er
Emma Stuart! Emma Stuart 1
Waits the maiden there no more ?
Not ab nol Along the pathway
Grows the rich untrampled grass,
Where Ihe cricket stops to listen
For thy wonted feet to piss;
But thy footstsps, Emma Stuart,
Press no more the doorway stone,
Trip no more along the pathway
And the cricket sings alone.
It is very mournful musing,
On sueli solemn nights as this,
How evanishes the promise
Of the perfectness of bliss;
Love's green grave between us, Emma,
Keeps us parted aye and aye
Even not to know each other
In the Loveland far away.
The memories of childhood, the long far
away days of boyhood, the mother's love and
prayers, tho voice of a departed playfellow, the
ancient church nnd schoolmaster in all their
green and hallowed associations come upon
the heart in the joyous time like the passage
a pleasanlly remembered dream, and cast

A SWEDISH WEDDING.
A young lady contributes to Chambers'
Lilingburgh Journal a very interesting account
of one. It is as follows; "This ceremony,
I had been told, would toko take plnce at six
o'clock, and nt six I had come; but nn hour
or two in Swedish time makes not quite so
mucn ainetance as a minute or two docs in
English. I spent such extra hour or two in
as stupid and comfortless a manner as possi
ble. The few persons who were in tho room
seemed to ho awe-struck; tho bridegroom
behaved very properly, nnd showed less impa
ueiico man tne priest,wliosc looks would have
threatened a premature marrimoniiil repri
mantl if he had been the chosen spouso of
too aiiuiory onue; the rr-Mlesss eyes and ner
vous momvementsot the snult box were indr
cative of impatience. At length, a crowd of
guests came tio ping in; tho women nil
large white shawls, and nearly all in black
silk dresses. Then, soon after, there was a
low murmur, and the priest stai tud tip, took
n large pincn 01 snutl, used a coloured hand
kerchief, and, returning it to his pocket, drew
out a very large clean white one, and rolled
one corner round his forefinger, allowing the
rest to hang down to his feel. The officia
ting clergy of Sweden always carry n white
handkerchief thus; but as it is not. I suppose
a prescribed part of tho Lutheran clerical
habit, its purpose is quite puzzling to me.
A slight movement on the part of the bride
groom turned my eys to the door; it opened;
large party entered ; the leader was a voun:?
slight, rather delicate-looking girl, dressed in
black, with a long sash of white ribbon round
er waist, and a crown of the natural nar
row-leaved myrtle on her head. Next to her
enme three young girls in white and coloured
dresses; and then the relatives of the briiln.
The young man came forward, took the hand
of the girl in black with tho myrtle crown,
and silently led her tip to the ottoman. The
priest was already behind it, with open book
and pendant handkerchief: a few minutes,
and all was over. The most solemn silence
prevailed. The matrons appeared to me
universally to lock upon their young sister
with compassion, and the unafllanced girls to
behold her with something like envy : the
former at least began to weep, but Swedish
tears flow readily. As soon as the ceremony
was over, the bride had to bestow about one
hundred nnd fifty kisses, which was the num
ber of person present. And then just
when, as children say, she might seem to
have given all her kisse9 away, slio sudden
ly turned round, and with a look of recollec
tion, murmured: 'Ack! my Alfred! and
threw herself into tho bridegroom's arms.
The embrace was momentary; and ns I had
just been presented to her, she looked at me
saying, by way, I suppose, of upology : 'I
have not seen hira for three months never
since wo were betrothed.'
The company adjourned to the inner room,
where a general feeling of solemnity seemed
to prevail. At last, the usual libation of bad
while German wine appeared, to drink th
health of the young couple, and nt the same
time entered the clergyman, whoso office was
net yet over : he carried a glass of wine in one
hand, and the insignia of ollice, the white
handkerchief, hanging from his finger. He
made a long speech, extolling the state of
matrimony in general, and its peculiar blessed
;;ess in this particular instance, ending with
advice and religious exhortation, which drew
Turin a renewal of tears from the manied la
dies. When this was ended, I began to
think a Swedish wedding was about us dull
a ming as un tngiisli one, and, a little uV
contented, I strolled back ajrain to thu salon
a iaay was at tue piano, aud I asked tier it
there would be any dancing; saying I I. a!
understood it was to be such a wedding as I
wanted to see a real old-fashioned Swedish
one. Ah!' she replied, 'there is no one dis
posed tor dancing: they think too seriously
tor that. Yes, it is a serious thing to be
married ; and the priest's talk was so good!
So. they will not dance to night' All the
time her fingers were moving the keys. The
bride and her husband appeared at tho open
folding-door; his arm was round her waist
her hand rested on his shoulder. Under the
circumstances, such an attitude did not strike
me as remarkable; but they flew from their
post in a waltz; and in a moment almost eve
ry one but myself was whirling round the
room. To understand the real labour of
dancing, one should dance as the Swedes do.
The English, beside them, would seem to
dance in their sleep. As for the polka and
gallopade, the men almost lifted their part
ners from the ground; and I should have
thought it impossible that such slight, weak.
looking creatures could sustain movements
so voilent, especially in airless rooms, and
throughout a long winter, when dancing is
almost all the amusement and life of all class
es. Ono poor young man was a singular evi
dence of the excitement of the dancing man
ia. He came from the borders of Dalecarlia;
his long light hair was worn as the men there
wear it, hanging straight down the sides of
bis face, not two features of which seemed to
have the least connection with each other;
his lesrs were a little akin, one being some
inches snorter than the other. The bride
groom good-naturedly tried to get him to
dunce, but for some time ineffectually. Fin
ally, he yielded; and when once set in mo
tion, there seemed no probability that he
would ever Btop of himself: the long hair
flew wildly up and down, the heterogeneous
features breathed the strongest excitement,
tho shortest leg pounced on the floor; one
would have thought he had got Terpsichore
herself for his partner. As soon ns an enor
mous supper was hastily despatched, the
salong was again cleared ; a grave judge sat
down to the piano, and struck up the wildest
most random-sounding music; all tho unmar
ried people caught hands; all the married
ones hastened to the fui therest of the three
rooms, which, in Swedish, are always en suite.
Before I knew what was to be done, I found
myself drawn along in a line, singing and and
moveing to this wild music, through the open
doors ; extremity, passed us, singing also, and
capering in the'same fashion. The bride and
bridegroom were still in tho band of ibe bless
ed single, and to keep them so there was to
be a struggle. For my part, 1 would have
is
to
l
let them go, if I had not wished to see the
dancing fight The poor little bride was now
placed in the middle of tho room, just under
tin chandelier; it was well she was so little:
a handkercheif was tied over her eyes, and
we woman danced in a circle round her,
while she in turns caught one and another in
her arms, aud swung her round nnd round
in desperate enegy; then ciown loosened,
shaking and tottering on her head was to
iau on on inaioi inegril who was to ba next
married. This movement was supposed to
oe acciuental, Dnue Deing blindfolded; but
I hnppcned to ask her sister beforehand if she
hoped to get the crown, to which the girl
ratuer suiKiiy answered, 'iNo, it must go to
the other bridemaid, who is betrothed.' And
so, on tho head of tho betrothed the myrtle
crown came down; and the choice it made
was applauded by the men, who stood in an
outer circle looking on, nnd clapped their
hands when ibe Fastnio (betrothed) looked
innocently confused at such an apropos acci
dent. While her crown was off. I thourrlit
the play was over, but now came the strug
gle. The matrons made adoncinn attack on
the rank of the single sisters, who enclosed
the bride. The former were to take, tho
latter to retain her if possible. For mv cart.
knowing we formed a forlorn-hope, and be
lieving that the object of our defence was a
traitor in thp camp, I should, perhaps, had I
thought about it, have done just what I did
but I did not think, for in the confusion I mis
took ono party for the other, and. eettin" mv
ai ms round the passive bride, fairly drew her
into the circle ot matrons; and I dare say the
captured one thanked me for putting an end
to the contest Then the same thinsr was ac
ted with the bridegroom, who had stood calm
ly looking on at his youna wife's troubles.
only his treatment was rougher and sooner
over. Tho married men having got him, the
single brethren seized him in their arms, and
gave him a farewell fling towards tho ceilin",
wineii the interposition ofthe chandelier pre
vented Iiia renchinij.
The horror of our poor hostess on this oc
casion formed the most laughable part of the
scene; unable either to make herself beard or
seen by the actors in it, and equally unable. I
suppose, to resist the influence of the wild rat
tling music, she capered round the group, who
were tossing the recreant, to the imminent ner-
il of her chandelier, her arms and hands
stretched out towards it, as if the fain would
shelter it within them: her mouth wide open,
and her eyes as full of terror aa if she saw the
royal ghost rattling the glass pendants, that
shook and jingled at every heave of the bride
groom. At last, having fairly turned the soles
of his feet to the ceiling, they turned them
downward again, and set him on them, look
ing just as equable nnd pleasant as ever. It
was now three o'clock in the morning; the cov
ered sledge was waiting, the great mjin of the
party there is a great man at ull parties
was to leave me al home. I endeavoured to
express my thnnks, but was met with expres
sions of great thankfulness for the honor I had
conferred; nnd sol came 8way. 1 do not
think that anything could give me a more fa
vorable idea of the manners of the Swedish
people than tho conduct which I saw on this
occasion."
Wo find in the Syracuse Star a tolerably
rich thing. In the State of Ohio, there resid
ed a family consisting of nn old man, by the
name of Beaver, and his three sons, all whom
are hard "pets," who had often laughed to
scorn, the advice and entreatesof a pious tho'
very encentric minister who resided in the
same town. It happened that one of the boys
was billen by a rattlesnake and was expected
:o die, u h'.v, tho minister was sent for in great
haste. On his arrival he found tho young
tmn very penitent and anxious to b praved
nim. me uiiuiaier caning on tne lamilv
kneeled down and prayed in this wise "6
Lord we lhank thee for ratll.-snakes; we
thank thee because a rattlesnake has bit Jim.
We pray thee send a rattlesnake to bite John;
send ono to bite Bill; send one to bite Sam;
and O Lord send the biggiest kind of rattle-
suakes to bite the old man, for nothine but
.1 1 ! a . . O
rauiesnaues win ever bring tue Beaver fami
ly to repentance!"
The above anecdote, which wo cut from
the Albany Register, was told by Mr. Hale.a
lecturer at a Temperance Convention in this
city on Tuesday last, as nn illustratraOon of
the reason for the Orator's preference of the
Maine Liquor Law, to any other. Tho man
ner in which the story was told was irristibly
comic, and as nn illustration it struck us at
the time, ns being exceedingly pertinent nnd
happy. Toledo Made.
