[Continued] The young man’s face was pale and gloomy, but Lina wondered not at this, for seldom had she the happiness to see her lover’s brow otherwise than care-laden. Slowly approaching her, Gerard took her hand and pressed it sadly and si- lently to his breast. This was his usual grectfng. Of words he was habitually frugal, but his eyes ex-~ pressed heartfelt gratitude and ar- dent love. ‘Gerard!’ cried Liiua, ‘ what is wrong? Your hand is cold as ice! Heavens! there is blood upon your throat!’ "'l‘is nothing, Lina; I knocked myself in the dark' Happy for me if my sufferings were only of the body.’ ' The words were followed by a deep sigh, and by a look of pro- found dejection that filled Lina with alarm. Gerard’s eyes had as- sumed a fixed, hard look, in which she read the announcement of some terrible novelty. With the tender- cst care she cleansed his neck fi om the blood, which flowed fro:n a trifling wound, and taking her lov- er’s hand she clasped in both of hers with a glance of affectionate encouragement. But he continued to regard her with the same un- varying gaze, until at last, unable longer to endure the suspense and his seeming coldness, she sank into achair. ,‘Oh, Gerard !’ she exclaimed. ‘look not thus, if you would not kill me with your glance !' .,Thc young man cast his eyes upon the ground, and then raised them again to Lina’s face; but this time with an expression of incffablc sadness, and took his seat by her side. ' ‘Lina,’ he said, in a tone be- traying the deepest emotion; ‘ give me patient hearing for I. have much to say. We meet for the last time.’ . And without attending to poor Line’s increasing agitation, be con- tinned,â€"-â€" ‘When children,’ he said, ‘wc played together, mutually attracted by a feeling we could not un. derstand, and which has since grown into love. You knew not, sweet Lina, what it was to be the heads- inan’s first-born. You knew not that he who hangs and racks and brands is laden with more ignominy than the criminal who suffers at his hands.

'l‘tiint: not l will expose you to the disgrace of being pointed at as the heads- man’s mistressâ€"the lieadsman’s wife! No Lina, I come to release you from all premises; from this moment you are free !’ Whilst Gerard spoke. a gra- dual but visible change came over the young girl's countenance and when he paused it Wore an expression of joyful pridemâ€"a pride that flashed out of her eyes and smiled in the dimples of her cheeks. She felt that. exhilaration of the heart, the consequence and reward of generous and noble resolves, ‘I understand your meaning, Gerard,’ she said, ‘ and could quarrel with you for thinking me less devoted than yourself, or less ready with a sacrifice, Oh my be- loved! thine l am, and thine will I remain, tooday, to-morrow, and for- everâ€"here or on the scaffold !â€"â€"- Gerard, the path of duty is plain beâ€" fore nic ; as thy wife 1 will console thee for the cruelty of men. and shed over thy life the soothing balm of love !’ ‘chcr, Lina, never! \Vbat. thou the doomstcr’s wife!

For a moment his brow beamed with heartfelt joy, and a sigh, but not of sorrow, escaped his lightened breast. ‘Forgive, me, O Lord,’ be ex- claimed, raising his cyes to heaven; ' forgive me that ] murmured!

WONDERS OF THE CREATED UNIVERSE. The faculty of. Sublimity in con. junction with that of, Marvellous- ness, or, as it is often called, Spiri- tuality, enable a man to appreciate such subjects as cannot be measured or comprehended by calculation, or the reasoning faculties. Calculation will solve a problem, and the result may be a row ofa hundred figures ; but who can tell by reason how much they mean! It is quite im- possible. to comprehend them. They must be divided, or presented in some comparative manner. The following speculations of Herschel will illustrate the point in question ; “ What more assertion will make any one believe that in one second of time, in one beat of the pendulum of a clock. a ray of light travels over 192,000 miles, and Would therefore perform the tour of the world in labout the same time that it requires to wink our eyelids, and in much , less time than a swift runner QCCU: pics in taking a single stride-i What mortal can be made to believe, with: our demonstration, that the sun is almost a million times larger titan the earth ; and that, although so re- mote from us that a cannon ball shot directly toward it, and main- taining its full speed, would be twenty years in reaching it, it yet Paint affects the earth by its attraction in an appreciable instant of time Who would not ask for demonstras tion, when told thata goat’s wing,in its ordinary flight, beats many bun.- dred times in a second; or that there exists animated and regularly organized beings, many thousand of whose bodies laid close together would not extend an inch? But what are those to the astonishing truths which modern optical in- quiries lravcdiscolsed, which teach us that every point ofa medium through which a ray of light passes is affected with a succession of periodical movements, regularly rc- cruiting ate ual intervald, no less than five hundred millions ofmillious of times in a single second! That it is by such movements connected with the nerves of our eyes we see; nay, more: that is the difference in the frequency of their recurrence which affects us With a sense of the diversity of color. 'That, for in- stance, icquiring the sensation of redness, our eyes are effected 482,000,000 of times; ofyellownes, 542,000,000 oftimes; and ofyiolet 707,000,000 'of times per. second.

Many goodboys and girls, feel that they cannot behave to suit themselves in the presence of COD]! pany. They are awkward, clown-. fish, rough. They feel timid, ‘bashe fat, and self-distrustful, the, moment they are addressed by a stranger or. appear in company,‘ There is but one way to get over this feeling, and acquire easy and graceful manners, that is, do the best they can all the time, at home as well as abroad, Good manners are not learned so much as acquired by habit. They grow upon us by use. We must be courteous, agreeable, civil, kind, gentlemanly, and womanly at home, and then it will become a second na- ture to be so everywhere.
