lose Hahry,” which, indeed, was very true. Lina, too, 
had her own quiet sorrow, in sympathy with him and 
pity for Mary ; so those busy summer days were not all 
bloom and brightness. 
Among other frequent visitors just now was an old 
boy-lover of mine. Ho had been away—at school and 
college—since he was eighteen. Now he returned a col¬ 
iege graduate, and came to see us. We resumed our 
former intimacy,—he heiDt: my derofed admirer, I laugh¬ 
ing at him. hali a-hameo of h's attentions, yet encontag- 
ing them for the fun of the thing. He was a well unotgh 
iookibg youth; gmSTter than the genera) run; witty and 
original, too, in hi.- way ; and. as H. Trcsta said of one 
ot her heroes. - A better A: ar/sd fellow never breathed.'' 
What, was me matter then ? Only this —ho had a seft 
spot in his head or heart, 1 never could rightly make out 
which; he was perfectly crazy,-a monomauiac,—on the 
subject of girls. Any girt possessing the least bit cl' 
lac.-beauty or wit was whony unnece—aiy-couki make 
a " ppooney ” of him in five minutes. Now, ol ail shades 
and descriptions of ihe genus mutus, this kind is the 
most universally dendca and despised among young 
uirle. It’s no honor to wear such a heart at their girdle, 
because so trss.ny have worn it before them, Each and 
every time be was desperately — over bead and cars—in 
iove , and how he managed to escape from the waves 
was joiowii only to turns eif. Perhaps he thought— with 
the •• honorable and esteemed " Mr. Hipartnoon — “ that 
the man as has come through drowning can never be 
drowned.” 
For all that, Allen Chase was a hearty, whole-souled 
fellow, and, when he could keep out of the traps oi his 
lair foes, a gayer, more lively companion couldn't be 
found. He was one of the mends invited to Lina’s 
weauing. 
Hut before 1 come to that important event, I must re- 
jiea', a conversation which passed between Cousin Dora 
and myself one Thursday evening. Tom and Mr. Hills 
had spent the Sunday afternoon previous with us. having 
again come down with father in the si:: o’clock train. 
TO* and Lina were having a quiet talk in the pallor by 
themselves, while Mr Hills, c ou-iu Dora and 1 -pent a 
gay, merry evening in talk, in tne long, back porch, m 
the rays of a bright, lnil moon. I don't temembei any¬ 
thing very witty or original spoken by either of the three 
of us that evening; but if we chose to consider our non¬ 
sense wit, to laugh over it as genuine, and to be very 
light-hearted and happy, what was to prevent usl The 
gentlemen went away about nine o'clock, aud we retired 
shortly after, as Tom was saying good night, Mr. Hills 
took me a little one side. 
“ Miss Hutu,” he said. *’ I have a piece of news to tell 
you. When can 1 -ee you alone a few moments ?”

where the loneliness seemed to him typical of what 
his life must thereafter he. 
When again in the quaint, time-worn house, he 
learned somewhat of its occupants. The elderly 
woman was mistress, though she had never been 
married. A brother several years younger managed 
the farm, or acted as the medium through which 
she managed it. Andrew Wkaithe and his sister 
Hannah came to the place some eight years pre¬ 
vious from New York. Neither cared much for so¬ 
cial intercouse, and in this retired locality they had 
lived, rarely visited by any one. In their former 
home Hannah Wrajtbe had known and befriended 
a yonng girl, whose parents died when she was a mere 
child. When the injured lady was brought in from 
the coach she was at once recognized a= the same 
person. 
“ I hadn’t 6een her in a good while, sir,” the 
woman said, in speaking of this, “ and didn’t know 
she was married until Bbe told me.” 
“ Did she tell you why she left her home? ” 
He did not ask the question without effort, and 
in spite of attempts to appear bold, now, he shrank 
from her clear, searching look. 
“ ghe did not, sir. I supposed she had good rea¬ 
son for traveling alone. When she found she had 
fallen upon an old friend, sir, she decided to stay 
here till — till the little one was bora, which was a 
month later. We buried her in the orchard, sir, it 
was 60 far to any burying ground,” she continued. 
” If you like, you can go up there — this way,” and 
Bhe pointed out a rear door. 
On a little eminence in the scraggy, unkept or¬ 
chard, he stopped beside a new-made grave. A 
few simple flowers were blooming in the fresh earth, 
and a myrtle vine, not long transplanted, had begun 
to creep over the mound. 
“Eleanor, Ob, my Eleanor! Is it here I find 
yon?” he sobbed, as he knelt in the down-trodden 
grass. “ Here, where we are parted forever—where 
you cannot listen to my voice — where yon cannot 
speak to me I If you could only hear me for a mo¬ 
ment you would come to my arm6 again, I know. 
Father in heaven, give her hack to me, I pray ! ”

through, never opens to their return. We clasp

CHAPTER XI. 
As June was losing its parting breath, and dying with 
its roses, Mrs. Qttincy was fading and drooping day by 
day. As the year grew more brown and swarthy, she 
grew thinner and paler, waiting like snow in tbe enn. 
More and more often now she would press her hand to 
her fluttering heart.—poor woman’s heart, like a caged 
bird beating its wings against cruel bars till it falls ex¬ 
hausted : -faster and faster would it palpitate: faster and 
faster would the blood rush through the poor, weak 
sluice-way, till, in one fearful torrent it would make its 
way to tbe brain, and such agony would be depicted in 
those beautiful eyes as was awful to look upon. 
Was it heart disease? or only some sympathetic dis¬ 
order? The doctors could neither agree about it among 
themselves, nor help her in the least; hut Mart herself, 
had she chosen to, could have told them. 3'bey might, 
call it heart disease if they would; how could a broken 
heart perform its functions? 
Lina was with her one afternoon, about ten days after 
Harby and Tom’s return. It was a close, sultry day. 
Mary was now too weak to sit up more than a few mo¬ 
ments at a time. Bhe rose, however, every morning: let 
her maid dress her: joined her husband at the breakfast 
table; aud then spent the rest of the day on a couch, or 
in an easy chair. She became more pallid and exhausted 
through all the languishing hours of tbe day, till under 
the influence of the evening coolness, she would rally a 
iitUe, and eat a few mouthfuls of the dainty delicacies 
provided for her. Bhe saw no one hut a few of her most 
intimate friends: and among these, she clung to Lina 
with the trusting affection of a sickly child for its mother. 
Lina at last spent hours of every day with her. On this 
afternoon she sat fanning her; the day was oppressively 
warm,—there seemed to he not a breath of air in all the 
pent-up, dusty c-lty. About three o’clock the enn went 
under a dark cloud. The cloud grew larger, denser and 
blacker; the leaves of the forlorn city trees, clad in a 
linsey-woolsey of soot and duet, bung motionless. 
Mary raised berseif to a sitting posture, panting for 
breath; then her band went to her heart with the flutter¬ 
ing, distressed motion, now’ so sadly familiar to her 
friends. Pale as ashes, she sank hack in ope of her ter¬ 
rible paroxysms. Lina could do nothing for her, nor 
could any one else she coaid only stand and look on in 
pitying distress, till the diseape had speDt its fary for (lie 
time, and left her panting and exhausted. She was lying 
thus,— Lina again fanning her, and silently weeping,— 
when suddenly the black cloud burst in a stream of 
lightning. There were resounding peals of thunder, 
which jarred the bouse, and the rain poured down in 
toneme. It was a mad ^mrricane, tearing its way 
through the city like a spirit of evil; but leaving all pure 
and sweet behind it, tike an angel of good. Ite cool 
breath, coming in through the open window’, was a heal¬ 
ing balm to the invalid; under its influence she roused 
herself aDd resumed her half-sitting posture on the couch. 
At. this moment a knock was heard at the door. Mary 
started nervously. “ Who can that be ? Deny me to all 
visitors.” 
“Yes, dear; it’s probably one of the servants.” She 
went to the door, hut in a moment returned. 
“ Mast,” she said, with pale, parted lips, “it’s Harry ; 
he wishes to see you.” 
“Let him come in,” said Mart, quietly,— so quietly 
that Lina looked at her iu amazement. “I have been 
expecting him for a great many days. He has been home 
two weeks, has he not ?” 
“Yes,” whispered Lina. 
” I thought he would come and see me before I died. 
Harry,”— she looked up quickly, for he had entered the 
room,— 11 Harry, forgive me, if you can, I am dying for 
my falsehood; I am dying.” She held out her haDd to 
him. He grasped it convulsively,—the little, bonny hand 
he had so often held in his own. Hie features worked 
convulsively hr VW. strained himself- “May rion for¬ 
give us both, Ma«# It was my fault; how could you 
know but that I wa» dead In all these dreary years/” 
That well remembered voice!—her lover's voice!—how 
it vibrated through every nerve of her trembling frame! 
She paled and flushed, and covered her eyes with her 
hand as she spoke, 
“ But say you forgive me, Harry,” 
” As 1 hope to be forgiven myself, I do. Mary.” 
.“Then I shall die happy.” She looked up at him 
again. “’Harry, seme demon tempted me to marry for 
money; 1 yielded. But God and yon have forgiven me.

S2T" Answer m two weeks. 
His quick, nervous rap was answered by a woman, 
who looked first at hitn, then beyond him, at the 
stage-coach, then back again into his face. She was 
past fifty, in years, and the care-worn features showed 
clearly that she was a long ways past flftv in experi¬ 
ence. 
Her face was a contradictory one, wherein 
craft and frankness seemed continually striving for 
the mastery. Such a face, though you know it 
never so well, always perplexes, and often deceives. 
When the frankness is genuine, or when simulated 
by craft, cannot unerringly be told. 
The woman’s face took on an honest look — 
whether craftily honest who could tell ? — as she 
stepped back from the door and invited him to 
enter. He accepted tbe seat she proffered him, and 
then began to realize the awkwardness of ki6 posi¬ 
tion, and to bethink him of some form of speech in¬ 
troductory. To make his identity known at the 
outset was not desirable, so he passed by self, and 
without prelude opened the colloquy directly on 
the only theme in which he felt an immediate 
interest. 
“ I am informed that a few weeks since a lady 
who was injured in the 6tage, out here, was left 
with you. The lady is a friend of mine, and I would 
like to see her.” 
He spoke as calmly as he could, and with much 
assurance, yet was he far from calm, and his hope 
was scarcely strong enough to render him over¬ 
certain. The woman bent a searching look upon 
him before replying. Then her tones quivered with 
real pain. 
“Poor mistress Willoughby! You’re her hus¬ 
band, 1 imagine,” He nodded assent. “ Y'ou may 
well want to see her, for she was one in ten thou¬ 
sand, and the like o’ her aint to be found often; but 
see her you can’t; it is too late.” 
“ Too late, madam 'i Why is it too late ? Has my 
wife gone from here, then V” 
He started up suddenly, a new fear taking hold on 
him. She might have eluded him, after all, and 
be now as far from finding as he deemed her one 
hour ago. 
“ She — has — gone.” The woman hesitated, 
either wholly at a loss what to say, or how best 
to say something unpleasant that must, be said. 
“ She — is-I may as well tell you at once, sir,” 
she continued, all hesitation now put away, “that 
she is dead.” 
“ Dead ? my wife dead ? ” He sank down again in 
his seat, nerveless, fairly gasping for breath. 
“Yes, sir. She died a month ago, from child¬ 
birth. She died very unexpectedly, sir; we thought 
she was doing very well, indeed, but the fever set in 
and carried her right oil.” 
“But why was 1 not notified ?” 
“Because she never told us where you were, sir.” 
“ Dead! dead! O, my Eleanor ! dead, and I not 
forgiven ! Can this be so ? ” and the man’s grief 
swayed him as the slender reed is swayed in the 
fierce 6torm. Every atom of his being seemed 
given up to it, for a moment; its intensity was in¬ 
deed dangerous, and frightened the looker-on. She 
attempted once or twice to pacify him, but desisted, 
seeing her words were of no avail. 
At length he calmed himself, as with an over¬ 
powering will, and asked — 
“ Where is the child ? ” 
Without remark the woman left the room, and re¬ 
turned hearing an infant which she laid in hia arms. 
“There she is, sir,—just as chirp a little thing as 
ever breathed! She has her mother’s own eyes, sir, 
and they were as handsome as a saint’s.” 
The babe looked up into his face and smiled in 
baby way, while the father momentarily forgot his 
grief at loss, of the mother, in joy over his child. 
The straiige thrill of the parent heart gladdened 
him, only to he followed by the deep, sharp pain 
that like a[Ncmesis was to haunt him thenceforward. 
He kissed the wee face tenderly, yet passionately, 
thinking the while that this could not be all that was 
left him of love and happiness,— that by-and-by be 
should awaken to gladder things, as from a terrible 
dream. 
Resigning the babe into the woman’s cure, he 
paced up and down the poorly furnished room, 
striving to keep down the swelling tide of feeling 
within his breast. Turning, by the window, a 
glance outward revealed the waiting coach, with 
its driver impatiently cracking his whip. 
“Can yon provide lodgings for me until to-mor- 
{ row, madam?” he suddenly asked, recalling his 
5 promise to the driver. 
W “Yes, sir. Such as they he, you are welcome to.” 
p He walked hack to the road. 
“ You may go on without me, driver. I shall re- 
6 main here a day or two. Stop on your way hack, to¬ 
ft morrow; perhaps 1 may desire to return with you.” 
g, The driver responded, “All right, sir,” flour- 
& ished his whip lash over the leaders’ heads, and

and 1 were all sett ing ior our dear lives,—with a wedding 
so near at band. We had a gleat deal of company, too, 
about this time,—mostly city mends, come to catch a 
breath of country air. Scarcely a day passed without 
one or more visitors, besides Tom, who, ol course, came 
e.ery clay. He had nothing particular to do just now. 
Father had offered to take him into his store as junior 
partner, to which Tom had gladly assented. He was to 
embark twenty .thousand dollars in the business, The 
papers, however, were not yet made out, and Tom wae 
at leisure. He was to live with ue after Lis marriage; 
the old dream oi his and Lina's youth was to be realized. 
Bright visions of youth, more often than we imagine, be¬ 
come brighter realities. The trouble ie. that ” Hope 
deferred maketh the heart sick,' and that sickness 
carries a sort of gangrene with it, which eats into every 
lovely thing,^despoiling it. Tom’s one sorrow ol heart 
now was Harry’b enlietiug. He had gone, and Tom 
had sorrowful,presentments that he would Dever return.

Turkish Temperance.— Sir Charles PeLowcs, in 
his book on Travels has this note on the temperate 
habits of the Turks:—“To the abstinence of this 
people from wine, the peculiar law of Mohammed, 
is perhaps to he attributed very ranch of their moral 
as well as physical health. The stream of intem¬ 
perance, which would undermine the pure principles 
of conduct above adverted to, is thus totally arrest¬ 
ed. The physical results of this law is strikingly 
manifest in the absence of cripples, and the general 
exemption of the Turks from illness; toothache be¬ 
ing the only ill to which they are often subject.
