Mrs. A. soon after this gave a splendid party, 

 and invited all her fashionable acquaintances for 

 twenty miles around. Mtra had urged it, for her 

 mother expressed a wish to make such an enter- 

 tain men t before her guests departed. Gkrtkude 

 never appeared so beautiful to Herbert as the did 

 that night, and in after years he looked back upon 

 that time with clear recollections, for a few 

 remarks which she made when they were standing 

 by the centre-table, looking over some engravings, 

 canscd the young man to view her in a new light. 

 It was during the early part of the evening, and 

 Gkrtrcds had just entered the room with thai 

 giuccful, gliding movement so peculiarly adapted 

 to ber style of beauty. She was quite

 interwoven with pearls. The face usually 

 bright, sparkling expression wben animated, but 

 the mouth was the hid- I character! 

 all, for her lips were dellofttel) oi 

 "changeable us an nspen." A li 



i could almost guess the words which 

 th«y shaped before ber clear voice uttered 1 them. 

 She wore a rich purple moire-aulique dress, wbicb 

 suited her queenly style and duzaliog complexion. 



"Those engravings aod sketches that you 

 wished to see, have arrived. Miss 11

 and the lady felt un inward exultation when she 



" Indeed I Thank you, Mr. Leslie, for regard- 

 ing my wishes,— but I am impatient to see them," 

 and Ueiebbht led ber to tbe table. 



"Are not some of ibese your own product 1 



of a 



[lulisn aeeDWy," 



"How beautiful! I have always longed to 

 travel there." 



"Perhaps you would not experience so much 

 pleasure ns you anticipate. Its (.ties bend over 

 wrecks of former greatness ; squalid poverty 

 meets you at every step, aud tbe deadly blight of 

 ignorance and religious ouperMili 

 fpread over the whole land."

 for *he koew that this was her uuditor's favoriU

Mrs. Havuokd and her daughter, with Mr. Sa 

 roan, returned to tbe City the next day after ibo 

 party, but the remainder of Mr*. Atbbr 

 , lingered. One morning Gem 

 said, "Mr, l.tsuB, I have received a letter which 

 summons me home immediately, and I must start 

 to-morrow," and she thought that there was some

" And so il is all settled," said the lively Mrs. 

 Atiiciito> to her sifter thai after noon. Tbe only 

 child of my old friend, Apelim Cavit, will soon 

 become my neice, and i/or/r daughter. Herbert 

 is going to accompany her to New York to-mor- 

 row, I suppose, but w lieu will they be married f" 



"About Christmas, be says," replied Mrs. Les- 

 lie, and her voice had a sad tone. 



"One would think that you are not pleased with 

 your son's choice. Do you not think that be has 



"Certainly. Bat yon never can know, until 

 you experience them, tbe feelings of a mother 

 .v hen hei only son takes a bride to his heart and 

 homfl., I know tbal Herbert will ever love aud 

 respect me, but wben a man is married, his wife 

 always takes the most sacred place in his affec- 

 tions. I am not jealous of bis regard, but we have 

 lived for each other a long time," and Mrs. Les- 

 lib's voice trembled. 



" Well, I shall not have Una trial for sometime 

 yet; but it makes me sad to think that Charlie 

 must go away next winter. An uncle of bis who 

 resoles in New Jersey, has sent to have bim come 

 and attend his school, for be has tbe superintend- 

 once of a large Seminary for boys." 



Before Herbert left he summoned all his reso- 

 lution to meet Grace, for tbe young man bad ex- 

 perienced uudehnable sensations since bis engage- 

 ment. She was suffering from o severe attack of 

 nervous headache, so he found her in nn easy 

 chair, propped up with pillows. 



" You confine yourself too closely, Miss Niles. 

 I am afraid that jour health will be seriously 

 injured" — he took her hand with a brother's 

 kindness. 



"Oh, no,— I shall be better soon," and while 

 Herbert looked down upon the pale face, he 

 longed to draw her to bis heart saying, "Rest 





' but

"She loves another, and this anxiety of mind 

 wearing uway her health. Ah, my beautiful Ge 

 trudk! I will be your faithful Imsbuod, but I 

 never can say to you — ' we were born forench 



Grace looked up, and as tbe old tender gaze 

 met her eyes she quickly averted tbei 



"My presence is painful to her,— perhaps she 

 reads my heart," — and bidding her a hasty ad 



Mvra and ber censin had a long quiet io 



once she reverted to Grace. "You will al 

 be ber friend, won't you V" 



" Yes, I will care for her as I would for ac 

 sister," be replied, solemnly, and hearing 

 Mvra was satisfied. 



Herbert accompanied his betrothed to New 

 Yotk, and there ascertained that business matters 

 required his immediate presence in Philadelphia, 

 SO be continued on with her to that city. Two 

 days after his depaiture from Willow-dell, M 

 seemed to fail very rapidly, and Mrs, Atoerton 

 was thrown into a state of alarm, borderiog upoi 

 despair, for there was now a reaction from tho 

 gayely of the past six or eight weeks, and hei 

 eyes wereopened to tbe true state of her daughter 



Mrs. Leslie's calm self-posne.-sion was now sum

 Thorntos calk d in the morniLg, and Gracb no-

 must all follow me,

 precious memento placed in a drawer. No tears 

 dimmed Miha'b eyes, and when Mrs Atheiiton 

 and ber sister entered tbe room, their unusual 

 brightness, startled the mother. 



" Do you feel worse my dear ¥' 



"Oh, no, mama! I want to talk with you,— 

 Will you promise to come where I shall be with 



" Yes— yes— my angel child I" and the agonized 

 mother wrapped her anus around her daughter, 

 while tbe first earnest prayer went up f.om her 

 pale lips. 1 1 brought a new peace to her soul.ond 

 tbe mourning group were weeping silently, when 

 Mtra's spirit passed from earth. Mrs. Leslie saw 

 her eyes close, aud a new pallor spread over her 

 luce. She bent over the form of clay and listened, 

 but "tbe silver cboid was loosed, the golden 

 bowl broken." "She is dead I" and afterwards 

 QBAOB bad a dreamy recollection of hearing these 

 words, but then a strange darkness came over her, 

 and Charlie caught her as sho fell insensible to 

 the floor. 



Mrs. Lsslib immediately wrote to ber son of his 

 cousiu's death, but tbo letter was delayed, and be 

 did not get to Willow dell ut.til a week after the 

 funeral. Grace bad been in a low, nervous state 

 ever *ince ber pupil's death, for the long anxiety, 

 and constant watching over tho invalid, hud at 

 fectcd her health. Her mind was also very much 

 depressed, fur edie felt that now the wide world 

 was before her, in which ahe must seek another 

 home. Mrs. Atuebtos, had not mentioned any-

"Tbo night that Mvra died, Grace fainted and 

 wasconfined to her bed several days. Dr. TnOBK- 

 to.\ says that it nas caused by over-exertion, and 

 anxiety. Since sister has died she often says — ' I 

 have no one left to love me but you, Charlie,'— 

 and I shall as long as 1 live." 



The boy spoke very earnestly. HjRJSBT arose 

 and walked slowly towards tbe bones, will, a new 

 purpose in his mind. " I promi«ed Mvra to be a 

 brother to Grace; mother and anat may think me 

 very absurd, but 1 will toll them my plan." He 

 sought them without delay— "Aunt Atherton, 

 when will Grace Niles leave here ?" 



"She n*ctr shall I I want her as a friend and 

 companion." The lady's ejes filled with tears for 

 she was a changed woman since her daughter's 

 death, and Gracs was very dear to ber. 



" Bui you wish to see her bappy, aod if 1 should 

 aid this gentleman to whom she is engaged, would 

 you think it absurd?" Herbert's face glowed 

 with his generous purpose, but his aunt seemed 

 astonished at his words.

"Itiafaisel I never told ber that "-

 room. Wben he met Grace, she saw that tben 



ascribed it to Mtra's death, and tbey talked of he

 Grace thought— "perhaps he wishes me to con

deeply, and t have come to make it known." He 

 then related tbe story, aud the long course of de 

 ccption in her conduct, which was now plainly 

 manifest. Grace beard it all, and her head was 

 bowed in mute astonishment and horror. A ten- 

 der voice said,— "She knew that I loved you. and 

 now I tell you what Should buve been told before!" 



An hour later Herbert led Grace Niles to hie 

 mother, "She has promised to be mine — will you 

 receive her as a daughter V" and Mrs. Leslie press- 

 ed the weeping pirl Io her heart. 



The next day HsrBSrt placed a sbeet of papei

Man has an unfortunate readiness, in th

 all the moonspots on tho other person into an 

 outline of shadow, and a Light piece, and to truns-

 in order that be may thoroughly relish the pleasure 

 of being augry. In love, he has fortunately the 

 opposite faculty of crowdiug together all the light
