A duskv 
knobbed forehead and temples bare, 
mustache hid the mouth, but the lines of the 
chin showed that it was firmly closed, and every 
lineament bespoke power and strength of pur¬ 
pose. It was a dark, fierce looking face pictured 
there, and sent a slight chill through me as I 
gazed upon it. The style of dress, what little 
could be seen, was peculiar. And what an odd 
frame, too, there was around it! A large oval, 
of some dark foreign wood, it seemed formed of 
6lender serpents twiniDg themselves in knots 
above the head, below and at the sides. 
A more perfect contrast could not have been 
formed than there existed between those old 
paintings. Grandpa had long been sleeping be¬ 
neath the willow trees, just discernible from the 
windows, and nothing had I known of him ex¬ 
cept What the old picture told me of a happy 
youth — a fine looking man called away in his 
prime. 
Grandma did not look much like the young 
face, full of smileB and dimples, a very striking 
likeness she said it had been pronounced of her 
many years ago; but then age had beut her 
form, Time’s ruthless finger had left furrows on 
cheek and hrow, and tears of sorrow had not 
brightened the once beautiful eyes. 
But instead of the glowing anticipations ol' 
the past, there was in the present a placid look, 
as though the trials of life were almost over and 
she was only waiting in calm serenity till the 
angels should meet her at the. river’s side. 
Was she thinking of this as she stood there ? 
Her eyes were bent upon the pictures before her, 
but did not see them, 1 was sure, for her glance 
seemed penetrating beyond the vista of years 
which hud melted away so noiselessly and left her 
an old woman. Those years held muehforher, A 
husband and children were sleeping uuder the 
willows, and it may have been thoughts of those 
loved ones gone to the Golden City that cast 
the slight shade upon that dear good face now. 
Perhaps the eight ol' these relics of the past 
was bringing to light many of the scenes wluch 
memory had stored away in her gallery, upon 
which the dust of years lmd fallen thick — days 
when she thought and cared for little else be¬ 
yond the present and its enjoyment, and the 
future w:is a far off time which held dreams and 
visions yet to be realized. Now she stood upon 
thegrave of many of those youthful anticipations. 
Someofthem bid fair to prosper, to bring forth the 
promised fruit, hut cruel blight fell upon them, 
and lin y withered away. Others did bring forth 
Out, and made her heart glad, but bow few they 
were ? The. sorrows overbalanced the joys of 
her life; but was she thinking of all this ? I 
could not tell. Her face gave not forth the va¬ 
rying emotions sweeping through her soul. 
Only still and intent she stood there looking at 
that strange picture. Perhaps, perhaps it was 
the face of a lost lover. Why had I uot thought 
of it before ? Some one wbo bad gathered the 
pearls of her woman’s nature into his hands and 
held them there tenderly, it may be, until com¬ 
pelled by adverse fate to abandon all; or were 
they entirely thrown aside, or snatched by an¬ 
other? 
But then that resolute face showed that he 
would be a formidable rival to any one who 
crossed his path unwarily. Was he a rejected 
man, falling in every endeavor to bring forth the 
low sweet symphonies from the yielding chords 
which vainly he tried to find and only produced 
harsh discords? Nothing came from the white 
lips to tell of the ruin of his life. 
Now the eyes seemed to have lost their fierce 
look, and an expression of infinite tenderness 
took 1 ts place. The whole picture seemed larger 
and growing larger. The serpent frame was in 
motion. One untwined itself and glided out at 
the open window, and with dilated eyes I saw 
the others follow and heard their fall upon the 
rose-bushes below. The artist's clouds vanished, 
and from one picture a broad shouldered man 
stepped out. 
Quickly my eyes sought Graudma’s face, but It 
was changed. No longer old and wrinkled, it 
was the youthful bloom of maidenhood. White 
roses, half-blown, looped up the lace overskirt, 
showing the tiny pointed slipper, reposed In her 
bosom and nestled in those old-lusioned puffs of 
hair. Leaning forward with eager extended 
hands, 6he was meeting the odd visitant, the 
long gaze uninterrupted; but she was looking 
up into those magical eyes instead of down upon 
those ol the picture. Too fascinated by the strange 
sight to observe, 1 did not notice the presence 
of a third person until a low sigh attracted my 
attention and Grandpa was standing where his 
portrait once stood, looking mournfully upon 
the two before him. A rather delicate figure, 
clear, earnest face and sad looking eyes, out of 
which the sunshine was gone forever, was what 
my eyes fell upon. Though there was contrast, 
strange and marked, between the two advancing 
to the girlish form that once was Grandma, noth¬ 
ing indicated an effeminate man in Grandpa’s 
appearance. 
But while one look took in all this, the un¬ 
known had taken the little white hands in one of 
his own, and, passing the other arm around her, 
they slowly rose from the floor upward. 
“Edith, O, Edith!” came a low, plaintive 
wail from below. 
“ Never again to part,” was the clear response 
hack, and they were gone. 
My strained eyes could not penetrate the mist 
whicii'enveloped them and was filling the room 
till the air was thick with It, and darkness set¬ 
tled over me. I could not breathe. My head 
was lying back on some soft support, and I know 
my month opened vainly for air. A heavy 
weight was ou my chest, and the remembrance 
of a tale 1 had read somewhere of the prince of 
darkness seating himself upon an unfortunate 
person’s body came over me. Perhaps some of 
those weird phantoms had come back and dis¬ 
covered me; for bony, skeleton fingers seemed 
passing over my face, clutching my throat, their 
mouldy lips gibbering in my ears ; withal a hor¬ 
rible feeling of being entirely at their mercy. 
Endless ages passed away. Shakspeare’s 
I stand amid the roar 
Of a surf-tormented shore, 
And 1 bold within my hand 
Grains of the golden sand— 
How few. yet how they creep 
Through my fingers to the deep. 
While I weep—while I weep— 
O God 1 can I not grasp 
Them with a tighter clasp ? 
O Godcan 1 not save 
One from the pitiless wave V 
Is all that we see or seem
