A moment Ennc held it in her liaml; should 
she trust herself to read whether he yet lived ? 
and now the might, of that hope began to falter. 
—or should she crush back the longing and wait 
still more tedious hours? No, she had brayed 
inquiry so long, and hidden all in her own soul, 
had spoken his name calmly and coldly,—she 
would prove her strength by another great, test,

had imagined what he would sa. - - 
rue inhered and sought, him out ai: r .ci-e years 
of separation, so she asked, “ would they excuse 
her if she just looked inside?” 
And so she out the end of the envelope with 
forced composure, and drew out t r own note 
answer; <1 on cue of its blank pages. “ fried in 
Hospital” was all she comprehended except 
that she must be perfectly calm, must crush 
back all the heart-breaking to be as others be¬ 
lieved her, and she turned back with a smile to 
mnk-' them kappt/, thought she could de¬ 
ceive them : she believed that actions onlv 
wou 1 re'll her great agony, and her self-control 
should not suffer. A strange pres* tire in f ier 
head made her almost dizzy, but she laid ner 
hand on the table 10 prove that it vva« .iu imagi¬ 
nation, and without dating to step until more 
perfectly poised, she glanced at the faces about 
her. They did not answer her uni:i*. mid she 
asked with a laugh “what had frightened them 
all into such solemnity ?*’ She “had not thought 
they would be offended.” 
“Ektu. Krik. are you faint V and a strong 
hand grasped her own. she withdrew it in¬ 
stantly with a negative exclamation, and with 
an effort catching her breath to smother the 
groan that had almost esc »ped with her words, 
she moved forward, and in the act saw the re¬ 
flection ol‘ her face io a mirror opposite. She 
started back, for ,t stared at her like a moving 
corpse. All the pain of death was wtittenin 
the ashen lips and features that sickness never 
before made so pale; tin -mile was a mockery 
of life, and yet the eyes ,• of a soul within. 
Then the tide of fee!in overpowered her. and 
weak end trcmflllr. : \ the -dishing tears blinded 
her and choked her voic . and handing the let¬ 
ter to Mary, she sou« t refuge in her own 
room. _ 
“ 'Tis better to have, lured and lost than never 
to have loved at all.” And Erik, in the new 
strength ami beaut} of her womanhood never 
stops to ask •• Why better?” 
When the star of that life faded she learned 
how bright, even from afar, had been Its light 
over her pathway. Faded,” did I say ? Oh, 
no! risen; and .nun its upward fight fell back 
a mantle to i e; -‘ho had not even watched its 
receding, and Riux gird d the robe or that pure 
Faith about ner and tried to walk in the way 
where lie had followed the Father. And lost 
as he had been to her through those years, she 
reinedben-d his parting words, and brought 
them forth now for a sweet support in place of 
flu- iong treasured hope that they might meet 
av?iiin on earth,—“ Never turn backward. Kki e. 
but iu a'l you undertake press vigorously tow- 
:vii the future that I believe will yet bring you 
glOlT.” 
Kkie had been ambitious: a golden ladder 
had sat before her and she had climbed, and yet 
irom the heights no “glory ” was so sweet, no 
homage so precious as words of the past that 
sent Through her soul their echoes uow. Prayers 
that had risen from his lips in the old school¬ 
room had waited an answer Until her own joined 
them before the Mercy Seat, and the All-help¬ 
ing One gave the boon el' His guidance and 
guardianship. 
“Died in Hospital," after weary suffering, 
alone! Too late now to clasp the hand of the 
dying one, or raise the weary head in its last 
look of earth, — too late to tell him bow his 
charge had been fulfilled, and the agony of his 
great heart not all in vain.—too late to lay fair 
flowers around the broad, full brow, on its last 
pillow, or bend over the lowering form ere the 
cold clods of earth shut it away forever:—but 
not too late, thank GOI>, to look upward and 
find one more glorious treasure in Heaven: uot 
too late to give other hearts words of Peace and 
Hope the world had denied her; uot too late to 
live for other's loved ones, as, would Unit she 
might know, others had toiled, for him In her 
stead; not too late to earn the “ welcome home ” 
and the great reward, “ She hath done what she 
could.” 
He had never married, and Erie recalled the 
keen glance of a revengeful suitor as he tried to 
probe her heart by the falsehood, and forgave 
him the cruelty he sought, to inflict, knowing 
the Father had sanctified to her good, and for 
those whose rough, ways she could smooth and 
soften, all the mournful longings of her “ Lost 
Love,” 
Michigan, Sept., 1864. 
“ It is better to have loved and lost than never to 
have lovt-d at all.” 
And Erik Vane, untying the muslin eur- 
taius and letting them fall in shadowy stillness 
over the open window, wondered why ? The 
soft summer evening air scarcely stirred the 
thiu drapery, and the smooth white walls that 
she had refused to have covered except here 
and there by some gem Art had eaught from 
Nature and saved in pictured semblance,—re¬ 
flected an even and soothingly gentle light 
through the room, giving to all things distinct¬ 
ness and individuality, without the rough re- 
Vealings of clearer vavs. Satin slipper's never 
met the deepest Brussels with more quiet elas¬ 
ticity than Erik'S hare feet glided over the 
uncarpeted floor of her room, as she laid aside 
The garments of the day and donned a snowy 
robe de null, pausing before the small dressing 
bureau, a part of whose top served for book¬ 
shelf as well, and taking down the plain braids 
of golden brown hair to disentangle a sprig of 
myrtle and white phlox. Then going again to 
the window she looked out into the great c-alin. 
the bright eyes of the arching sky looking 
down on the sweet, sleeping face of Earth,— 
and Erie’s glarees took in a landscape of more 
than ordinary beauty. 
Over the undulating fields two small white 
farm-houses rose against the wooded back¬ 
ground,—the old brown, low-roofed cottage, 
scarcely distinct, except that it shut out for a 
little space the mirror-like lake beyond.—the 
red brick domicile in the hollow, half preten¬ 
tious, half a failure, adding more in variety 
than in richness or grandeur, and idling un¬ 
consciously the “gentility without anility” of 
its inmates,—and nearer, the humbly inviting 
church on the hiil, back of which, and adown 
the slope, white marbles peered from under 
drooping willows, or raised their white faces 
unveiled, telling their own stories of Earth's 
broken dreams,— while close underneath, the 
flowers and vines her hands had trained re¬ 
ceived her falling tears, a tribute to the memo¬ 
ries that had linked themselves with every 
familiar object and broken up the hitherto un¬ 
stirred depths of her soul. 
The clock in the hall below counted eleven, 
and Erib started from the casement where she 
ha«1 been leaning, a moment her Ups quivered, 
and then settled into an expression of firm re¬ 
solve as she murmured, “1 must know; I will 
bear UiIb suspense no longer.” 
And now perhaps, incredulous reader, as a 
lest of my veracity, you ask of all this “ how do 
I know?” Take the echo’s answer, “I k <oui," 
and be content. Or, if you have excused me 
by “never expecting story writers to ted the 
truth,” I do not thank you for your compliment, 
for under another name Erie Vane is a living 
reality.

The “express” whistled its greeting at the 
busy station.of St. J-, passengers vacated 
tbeir seats anti jumped from the steps, and 
others entered to take their places; the post¬ 
master exchanged mail-bags and hurried to his 
office, where men, women and children gath¬

shoulders into “n y box,” and then turning 
away empty-hand 1 and heavy-hearted, or 
clasping in their fi. gers a magic s ip, bearing to 
the beholder only a simple name, but to them a 
wonderful something which sent over tbeir 
faces the index of answering impulses that for 
the moment would not be controlle:. The last 
footstep was beating its retreat from the door, 
and the “deputy” arranging the remaining 
papers, as the “chief executive” of that de¬ 
partment went toward the window, where the 
twilight just began to glimmer, adjusting his 
spectacles as he walked, and concentrating their 
powers upon the envelope in his hand, daintily 
directed, “Post-Master, St. J-.” Tearing it 
open, he read: 
Oakville, June 20,186-. 
Dear Sir:—I intrude thus upon your time and at¬

of a gentleman named J. R Marshall, who lived

“Marshall, Marshall,” he repeated ab¬ 
stractedly, — “ Gn.ES, do you know of any one 
named Marshall in town ?” 
“Not directly io town sir, except Captain 
Gray’s wife who was a Miss Marshall.” 
“"Well here, tal e this, go and find out what

“ A letter for Mias Yank.” The man flowed 
and •withdrew as Mary. Erie’s older eoutin 
and adopted sister, took it from him saying she 
would deliver it.. 
There were guests in the parlor, and Erie 
was unusually gay. Her eyes had more than 
their wonted sparkle, and the faint pink of her 
cheeks deepened almost to crimson as she moved 
with a feverish restlessness hither and thither, 
unwittingly making herself the object of attrac¬ 
tion wheu she sought to lead the party into 
amusements that should entertain each other. 
As Mary returned, tall, and with a gentle, 
almost matronly dignity, Erie looked up for an 
instant with eager inquiry, almost pleading, in 
her face, shaking Mary’s resolution to retain 
the missive until they were alone, and she 
reached it inward her.
