THE WITHERED WREATH. 
BY IDA FAIRFIELD. 
A little grave —its soft, brown sods,. 
Arranged with nicest care, 
But burial stone or slab, was none, 
To tell who slumbered there. 
A withered wreath, of blossoms pale, 
In faded beauty lay, 
Above the tiny hands which late 
Had tossed each flower in play. 
There was no need of marble pile 
To tell the mournful tale, 
Some mother's idol borne to rest, 
Within death’s shadowy vale. 
A pearl from love’s rich jeweled-wreath, 
Had slipped its silver string, 
A song-bird gone to sunnier skies, 
To try its unfledged wing. 
A radiant beauty must have fell 
That youthful brow upon, 
When this frail wreath was lain aside, 
For Heaven’s immortal crown. 
But ah 1 with it, fond eyes beheld 
Life's rainbow hues depart; 
Affection knows no stronger tide, 
Than swells a mother’s heart. 
And aching eyes have looked upon 
This little narrow bed. 
And tears of bitterest agony, 
Or wild rebellion shed. 
No wonder that the lava flow 
Has withered every leaf; 
The heart's most fragrant blossoms die, 
Seared by one mighty grief. 
But, mourner, lift thy sorrowing gaze, 
A spirit-wing is near, 
Thy cherub carols in yon skies, 
And canst thou wish him here ? 
Here, that the cloud of woe and care 
Might dim that glorious brow ; 
Or here, that sin and crime might stain 
That soul, so spotless now ? 
Turn thou, and with the eye of faith 
In yonder realms behold 
The lost lamb thou hast mourn’d so much. 
Safe in thy Savior's fold. 
Remove the withered wreath, and plant 
Spring’s fresh, delicious flowers; 
Thy bud will burst to fadeless bloom 
In Heaven’s perennial bowers. 
New Haven, April, 1854. 
lie bowed to both ladies and left the room, 
without noticing the flash of triumph in Lucy’s 
eyes. , 
The instant the door closed on lnm, Lllen 
sprang from her seat, and left, the parlor by tlie 
opposite entrance, while Lucy flung herself 
again on the sofa, and following her cousin with 
her looks, burst, when she had departed, into a 
clear, ringing, exulting laugh. . Ellen, the in¬ 
stant she left the parlor, burst into tears, and 
hurrying up stairs, locked herself in her room. 
Then flinging herself passionately on her bed, 
she wept as if her heart would break. 
“ Oh! cruel, cruel,” she added, “ to tell me I 
am working the slippers fur another, when only 
he is in my heart. He little knows that I am 
embroidering them to raise a few dollars to as¬ 
sist nurse in her poverty. And Lucy, heartless 
Lucy! to talk about her sympathy for the des¬ 
titute, when she will do nothing for our almost 
second mother, who is now sick and in poverty. 
Could Judson only know the truth 1 and she 
wept afresh. 
Ellen, unlike her cousin, was not an heiress; 
for the little pittance left her by her deceased 
parent barely sufficed for her most necessary 
wants; and had not her uncle offered her. a. 
home, her scanty annuity would have been in¬ 
sufficient even for these. Thus, though her 
heart was open as day to charity, she had no 
means of relieving the necessitous, unless by 
the manufacture and sale of such articles as the 
embroidered slippers, on which she had been 
working that evening. These were intended, 
as her words implied, to relieve the wants ot a 
sick, and perhaps dying old servant, who had 
formerly been a nurse in her father’s family, and 
who was now in the lowest depths of poverty.

Our readers have already suspected the state 
of Ellen’s heart.. Her love for Layton had 
grown up insensibly to herself. He had long 
been in the habit of visiting at ber uncle s, and 
for some time bis attentions had been equally 
divided between Lucy and herself; and his warm 
heart, high intellect, and extensive acquire¬ 
ments, rendered him just the person to win the 
heart of such a girl as Ellen. She would sit 
whole evenings listening to his eloquent conver¬ 
sation, never speaking unless spoken to, but 
busily plying her needle. Nor did she become 
aware of the nature of her feelings for Layton 
until the increased particularity of his attentions 
to Lucy awakened her to the fact that she loved 
him. Then she strove against her passion, but 
alas! it had become so interwoven with her 
gentle heart that only death could remove it.
