SOME DAY. 
BT ALIQUA. 
Walk under the Bky while it arches hlue, 
Revel to-day In the golden sun. 
Smile back on the friends that smile on yon, 
Clasp your hands closely on treasures won; 
For friendly hearts may grow strangely cold. 
The clouds hang gloomy and gray, 
And present treasures slip from your hold, 
Some day. 
K 
Pluck the fair (lowers of the summer days,— 
Words of the earth’s uplifted prayer,— 
^fprea&them abroad for the children’s plays, 
Twine In gay wreaths for the bride’s soft hair; 
Gaze on their beauty and breathe their perfume, 
For their autumn brings decay, 
Yon shall sleep sweetly under their bloom 
Some day. 
Ah, parent love, railing your child yonr own, 
Take all the good of the days that are; 
Death may turn qnhkly the form terstone, 
Or the restless feet go wandering far; 
Ah, lover cling well to yonr faith and trust, 
For joys pass quickly away, 
The hand you hold will be ashes and dust, 
Some day. 
O, sad weary workers, whose paths seem long, 
Ye who tread ever allllctions ways, 
Who walk in darkness, be faithful and strong, 
Beyond death’s shadow lie golden days; 
The clouds shall be riven, your losses prove gain, 
The crown that fades not away 
Be given for all life’s crosses and pain, 
Some day!

WILLOUGHBY HALL; 
AFTER MANY RAYS.

[Continued from page 377, last number.] 
CHAPTER FOURTEENTH. 
Alone in the midnight silence, Alfred Hender¬ 
son hesitated to break the seal his mother’s hand 
had set. He could hardly proceed at once to the 
discovery of what was hidden within. The little 
packet was something to wonder over; possibly the 
wondering might prove more pleasant than the peru¬ 
sal. And yet — could it be anything, seriously dis¬ 
agreeable? Would it alter his present, or in any 
manner affect his future? 
Toying, in curious mood, with what might mean 
to him much or little, he fell to musing of matters 
quite irrelevant. First, a thought of Berdena 
Range came in, and of those wondrously brighl 
days upon the Lower St. Lawrence, spent in her 
company. He might be unfaithful to her memory, 
yet the memory was full of a certain tenderness, and 
it would not wholly fade. Then came a thought of 
Mabel Willoughby, — of the sweetly pleasureful 
hours they had known together weeks before; then 
others,— of these later ones, in general, and those 
of the evening just passed, in particular. It had 
been a season of almost ecstatic pleasure. To him 
it had seemed as if their souls reached out toward 
one another,— as if they had but to come a little 
nearer to blend, and be separated no more forever. 
And he had been strangely moved to open wide 
his arms and say “Come.” In their music, —in 
their walk underneath the patriarchal trees—he had 
yearned to tell her of the strong love he bore her, to 
hear the shy words,—shy, but inexpressibly sweet,— 
which he felt she must speak in return. Yet, as in 
that other instance, not so long ago, some subtle in¬ 
fluence had repressed his yearning desire, and they 
had parted as was their wont. Now lie wished his 
love had found utterance. Now he resolved that at 
the earliest opportunity it should. He would go 
away again soon; how dark and lonesome that 
homo of his would bel now cheerful she might 
make it! It was a beautiful place; it needed only 
a beautiful presence to render it another Paradise. 
A beautiful presence,—ah, yes. The shadow 
would be dispelled then. But was it not partially 
gone already ? The packet’s seal caught his atten¬ 
tion again, just here,— his mother’s, long used and 
familiar. There might be a bit of the shadow left; 
he might hold it in his hand. His musing was 
arrested; his thought came back to the present 
momeut. Whatever the packet should disclose, he 
would learn at once, ne broke the seal with a 
quick, impatient motion, and saw that the papers 
constituted a single communication of some length, 
addressed to himself, and bearing date some two 
years previous. Nervously, wonderiugly, he began 
to read 
THE REVELATION. 
My Dear Boy I have a presentment that I shall not 
live until you hilly attain to man’s estate, and there be¬ 
ing several things which yon ought to know after my 
death, I will now try to put them upon paper. 1 do not 
like to think of leaving you solitary iu the world, with 
no knowledge of your history or antecedents, nor do I 
wish to Inform you of these during my life. So long as 1 
arn with you, I prefer you should know me, us you have 
always known mo, as your ouly living parent, a lonely 
woman having no ties of kindred anywhere. And the 
latter I am, and have been these many years. Once it 
was otherwise. Once 1 had fond, loving parents, better 
to me than ever I have been to you, I know. My home 
was more beaul.irul than is yours, and in it, aw far back ns 
I can remember, my lightest wish was law. Better for 
me had this not been the case, for 1 grew up imperious, 
self-willed, obstinate. 
My parents were Spanish Creoles, of a quick, fiery 
nature, once well aroused, but too indolent of disposition 
to put forth much effort in endeavoring to restrain me. 
I grew up ungovemed until I became ungovernable 
Society pronounced me a beauty, when 1 first entered it; 
and as I wa& the daughter of Senor Henrique Coudezco, 
one of the most respected and wealthy citizens of Uu- 
vana, I was petted and flattered until my young head was 
fairly turned. For two winters I held my sway as the 
reigning belle, and titles uud fortunes almost without 
number were laid at my feet. 
Then th# cholera swept through Havana like the per¬ 
fect pestilence it was. Among the first victims were my 
parents, and I was left, orphaned, and unprotected save 
by my old and faithful servants, to make of life whatever 
1 might. Wliat a happy thing X might have made it, I 
have many times seen since it has been too late, While 
I was yet in mourning, and therefore out of society, 
chance, or some good or evil fate, guve me an acquaint¬ 
ance with a young gentlemun from the States, who with 
his mother was spending the winter in Havana. Up to 
this time 1 was heart whole, for of sll the many suitors 
for my hand and fortune none had made any lasting ira- 
f pression on my heart. But this man’s manner captivated 
! me. Wc were not much together, but for all that my 
jassion fixed itself upon him, aud led itself daily upon 
1 f ho hope that my handsome face would win me Tull re¬ 
am. A long time it. seemed a vain hope. I used all my 
rts during the casual meetings with him to interest, him 
/ i me, yet with ill eliow of success. Seeing that direct 
) sorts availed little, I studied policy, and cultivated the 
y acnaintance of his mother. She was au invalid, aud I 
constituted myself her especial Sister of Charity She 
was a weak womau, in some respects, yet she controlled 
her son at will, aud upon this fact, aud the effect of my 
devotion to her, 1 based my plane. 
My passion for him,—a inau by no means as brilliant as 
many others of ray acquaintance, and only a plain private 
gentleman with rather Stiff New England ways.—may 
seem strange to yon; it seems strange to myself. Yet it 
was the one supreme thought throughout that winter in 
which the gay circles missed one of their gayest mem¬ 
bers. I did not let it pass unheeded by the invalid 
mother, aud congratulated myself when I saw that it 
pleased her, aud that she quietly abetted me. Tie be¬ 
came interested, at length- His cold-blooded tempera¬ 
ment warmed from the fires in my hot veins; he was won. 
A hasty marriage united both his mother and me. Sbc 
was an invalid and needed me: I was an orphan and 
needed a protector. We were married, as are others, in 
haste, to repent at leisure. Though 1 was a Catholic, T 
knew he would hesitate to employ a priest in solemnizing 
the nuptials, and so T said not a word about it. Indeed, 
1 do not think he had learned what my real faith was. I 
bad been careful to make no allusions to it at any time. 
I would have sacrificed heaven itself rather than losehim- 
Well, we were married, as T have said. — married by a 
Protestant clergyman. For my non-adherence to the 
faith 1 was made the subject of priestly visitations, and 
these were what first came between my husband aud my¬ 
self. I was a Catholic at heart, and should ever be. and 
now that my endeavors bad succeeded, and the object of 
my passion was secured beyond u peradventure, I would 
not forego the Sacred Church and the confessional. 
When my husband remonstrated T rebelled, and our 
qnict honeymoon was scarcely over before be learned 
what a volcanic nature jny fair, calm exterior concealed. 
I loved him well enough to have checked my rebellious 
uprisings, could 1 have done bo; but they had gone too 
long unchecked, and would not now be mastered. 
We quarreled, finally, and while wc were yet unreeon- 
■ died bis mother died. I was most to blame, I know, but 
my obstinate will would not yield, even when his mother 
lay dead and his tears were yet fresh, fie took her re¬ 
mains home, alone; aud 1 went Into the mountains, ns 
the summer came on, and remained at the con ntry resi¬ 
dence which my father had long owned. When the win¬ 
ter came again, my husband returned to Havana, and u 
reconciliation was effected between us. It did not last 
long, however. I had again become anxions for society, 
and, to my shame 1 confess it,—was more desirous of re¬ 
suming my sway as a belle than of being regarded as a 
dutiful wife. I loved the man whose name 1 bore.—1 love 
him yet,—bnt I loved adulation and social homage also. 
This love worked a dreadfhl work, at length, I be¬ 
came dangerously imprudent, even reckless. By-and-by, 
—ah, how bitter the memory is!—my conduct was appar¬ 
ent to him whom I was wronging, and iu its very worst 
aspect. He was led to think me criminally unfaithful, 
and brought forward accusations that maddened me. 
We had high worlds,—higher than ever before, for hie 
slow Northern blood was up to fever heat, «Dd my own 
seemed on fire at thought ol' his judging me so much 
worse jthan I really was. We had high words, and wc 
parted, .not to meet again. He sailed for Europe, I 
learned. As the affair became noised abroad, I sickened 
of life amid the old scenes; and so I converted all the 
great wealth that was mine into read’y‘funds and came to 
New Orleans, henceforth to be known ouly as Madame 
IIendbrson. 
Just about this time the cholera was making fearful 
ravages in Havana, aud by some strange circumstance 
my name appeared in the record of deaths. It was 
doubtless some other person referred to, but. I found that 
the statement was commonly supposed to be me. and as 
I wished to disappear entirely from the knowledge of all 
previous acquaintances. I let it pass uncorrected. 
When you was two years old, J felt a strong and in¬ 
creasing desire to undo the past, and make amends, if 
possible, formy nmvifely conduct. To that end I wrote 
your father, a full, frank, true acknowledgment of iny 
unworthiness, and petitioned him to come to me once 
more; and 1 looked with the deepest anxiety for same 
reply. None ever came. Whether my husband be now 
living or dead 1 know not. Since the t ime mentioned T 
have shrunk iYom attempting to bold any communication 
with him. But wheu you read this I want you to learn if 
he still Jives, aud if lie does to mukc yourself known to 
him through this. He is a man of noble heart; he can¬ 
not refuse to own yon as his son because of your mother’s 
failings. He was of au old family in Massachusetts, 
living not far Horn L-, if I remember rightly; and the 
name yon are rightly entitled to bear. Through him, is 
Lambeet Coudezco Willoughby. 
The young man had read thus far with mingled 
feelings. From the line which implied that his 
mother’s history had been other than he had always 
supposed, he hud felt an eager interest. That por¬ 
tion wiiieh developed such au unhappy state of 
things, filled him with pain. And now this an¬ 
nouncement amazed and astonished him beyond 
expression. His lather might be living now. lie 
had lost one parent; he might find auother. Might 
find ? Had ho not already found him ? Was not 
his father flamed Lambert Willoughby, and was 
not that the name of Mabel Willoughby's father 
also? Were they not identical ? 
Bnt,—and here bis amazement blended with a 
strange, indefinable apprehension, —if this indeed 
be so was not Mabel herself his sister? What 
then of this love of his? Would it ever be satisfied 
by the mere tie of kinship ? His heart gave a keen 
throb in answer, and he arose aud paced up und 
down the apartment in a fever of excited impa¬ 
tience, hope and fear. 
Calming himself, at length, he perused the re¬ 
mainder of his mother’s revelation. Little more 
was given, except some further data which might 
guide him iu searching for his paternal parent. 
This left no doubt that the getiial master of Wil¬ 
loughby Hall was so related; and with the sudden 
and startling disclosure he retired, not, in truth, to 
sleep, but to wonder over this unlooked for compli¬ 
cation, and impatiently wait for the dawn, when it 
might be definitely unraveled. 
CHAPTER FIFTEENTH. 
The morning came, and as soon as possible Al¬ 
fred hastened to lay the important revelation be¬ 
fore Harry Brief. He wanted conusel, and the 
advice of a clearer, Jess excited head than his own, 
and Brief could he trusted. 
“ Why, this looks a heap as thongh you lost a 
legal parent yesterday only to find a natural one 
to-day,” was the lawyer’s first comment. “1 take 
it that our friend, Dr. Willoughby, is the father of 
a boy he never has known anything about, and that 
you are to be congratulated iu having found your 
father with so much less trouble than Jafheth ex¬ 
perienced.” 
“ Well, what would you do ? There may be some 
mistake about it, you know.” 
The young man said this, hoping there really w as. 
Since yesterday the full strength of his love for 
Mabel had more clearly made itself known, aud 
he would rather remain latherless than give her up. 
And yet, — if she was his sister, his love would be 
a sin. 
“I see no chance for doubt,” said Brief, “and 
my advice is,—send this packet to Dr. Willoughby 
this morning, and follow it yourself this afternoon. 
Or wait; let me make a few inquiries of our host 
in regard to that gentleman’s early life, before 
takiug auy step. 1 will be judicious.” And he 
went out. An hour subsequent he re-entered the 
room and said;—“It’s all right; send the packet 
along. Endekby tells me that Dr. Willoughby 
went to Cuba with his mother, as stated; and that 
settles the matter.” 
“But Mabel Willoughby must have had a 
mother,” said the young man, flushing up, “and I 
don’t quite see where she came in. Could my 
father have been so dishonorable as to marry again, 
knowing he had one wife already ?” 
“No; if i can read men aright Willoughby 
never would do that. And yet Enderby says he 
did have a wife here, and that she died when off 
somewhere on a visit. leagued if I can understand 
it, somehow. There must have been some painful 
misunderstanding all round. But send the papers, 
and pretty soon you’ll learn.” 
Alfred acted upon this advice immediately, and 
dispatched the packet to Willoughby Hull, under 
cover, by a special messenger, together with a note 
saying he would call in a few hours. Those few in¬ 
tervening hours were tediously long. In his fever¬ 
ish haste he would have had them blotted out 
utterly, with all their possibilities. 
"When, after weary waiting, he galloped up to the 
Hall, Ids heart beat wildly, his brain seemed awhirl. 
Mabel greeted him with a shyer pleasure than 
ever, which wakened an answering thrill in every 
chord of bis being. Was not his love mocking at 
all ideas of kinship? Was it not stronger than 
blood? How he longed now to put this thought of 
brotherhood and sisterhood far away from him, that 
lie might claim her as his own in a nearer, holier 
relation forever! 
He replied to her greeting even less warmly than 
usual, She observed his constraint, and with ready 
tact sought to shorten their Interview. 
“Father is in the library,” she said, “and sent 
word that yon were to be shown to him wlien you 
came. He has been shut up alone there all the 
mornlug; some important business must be de¬ 
manding his attention, I think.” 
He smiled, at a loss what reply to make, and in 
silence followed her to the library door. There 
they separated,—he to go through and meet— 
what ? — she to hide away in one of the dim alcoves 
and puzzle herself over this new manner in one who 
was rarely out of her thoughts. 
When she sought the parlor again,—how long 
after she could not have told, — her father and Al¬ 
fred were there, and the former’s greeting strangely 
bewildered her, 
“Come here, pet; we were looking for you. 
Come and shake hands with yonr brother ” 
His tone of voice, betokened some surprise, possi¬ 
bly a little pain, and she knew not what to make 
of It. She looked from one to the other, and in the 
face of each she read some unusual circumstance. 
“ What is it, father ? ” directly she queried. “Are 
you jesting ? ” 
“ No, I am not,” he answered. “ This young man 
is indeed your brother. Will you not welcome him 
as such?” 
The young man came toward her, then, with 
outstretched hand. 
“ Why, certainly,” she said, as their hands met, 
and he bent to place a brotbcr’6 kiss upon her lips. 
Her cheeks flushed to deepest crimson ; aud though 
she returned his salutation, she drew back mod¬ 
estly, a puzzled look still on her face, “ But I 
don’t understand it, at all, father. Can’t you ex¬ 
plain ? I’m very glad to have a brother, of course, 
but I don’t see why I never knew of his existence 
before.” 
“Simply because I never did,” her father an¬ 
swered. “ I have often wanted to tell you,” he 
continued, after a moment’s hesitation, “ some 
facts in my life, but as often have decided it were 
better never to let yon know them. Now, however, 
they ntmt be told. The first aud most prominent 
one is that of my marriagi jwith Alfred’s mothers 
some time previous to my hectiug with youre, (you 
see he’s only your half brother, after ullri It was 
not n happyunion,” this with a shade of pain, “and 
resulted in a separation. I went to Enrope, directly 
after that, and while there learned of my wife’s death 
in Havana of cholera. 1 married yonr mother two 
years later, In good faith, though 1 have just had 
proof that my first wife was not dead; that my in¬ 
formation was incorrect; that she lived and bore 
me a sou, and that the son is now with us. I never 
dreamed there could be any mistake about her death; 
and as I had no desire to re-visit the scene of our 
unhappy marriage, knowledge of the real facts was 
never suggested. Perhaps it was all for the best: 
God knows. I suffered deeply; so I imagine did 
she. We will pass it all by, and, without regrets 
for the past endeavor to be happy together in the 
future.” 
He left them, and Alfred filled up the details of 
his narrative with a recital of all he knew touching 
that union before unknown to her. He told her of 
his mother,— of the revelation she had left,—of her 
unpleasant, unhappy life in those years his recollec¬ 
tion embraced,—of life own unhappiness meanwhile; 
and ere he concluded hcrsympaihy was fully aroused, 
aud iu her impulsiveness and simplicity she put, her 
arms about his neck, as though they had been brother 
and sister while yet children, and promised to be a 
loving sister tohim always. He returned her caresses 
so passionately that she blushed rosy red again, and 
slid shyly away, thinking what a strangely pleas¬ 
ant thing a brother’s affection really was, aud won¬ 
dering if she could have loved him just as well had 
the late developments not transpired. 
He rode back to Glendale, toward nightfall. Dr. 
Willoughby said to him as he left them,— 
“You will return here and remain with ns after 
this, of course.” 
“I will come again to-morrow,” he promised, 
“ but may not remain long. W e must return South 
soon, Mr. Brief thinks.” 
Mr. Enderbt, being informed of the new relation¬ 
ship bis young friend had discovered, congratulated 
him heartily; and Brief was eager to know all 
about the reception he had met, and the explana¬ 
tions the new found father had made. Having been 
advised on these points, he repeated a question he 
had asked of the young man, several weeks before,— 
“ Well, what are you going to do ? ” 
The consequence was always Brief’s first thought, 
when a situation was fairly comprehended. “ What 
are you going to do ? ” was his first and most natu¬ 
ral query, put in face of contingencies and with a 
view to meeting them. 
“ What shad I do ? Stay here with my kindred ? ” 
He smiled almost lugubriously as he thus interro¬ 
gated. Brief meditated a moment, after the man¬ 
ner of a careful counselor, before replying. 
“No; it would not be best. 1 Business before 
pleasure,’ yon know; and 1 want to finish up the 
legal matters between ub in apple-pie order. When 
that is accomplished you can come North again, if 
you wish; or why not have your friends come to 
New Orleans and spend the winter with you?” 
“ You’ve hit exactly, as you always do. That last 
arrangement will he capital. It shall he carried into 
effect.” 
And when, a few days later, his friend Brief and 
himself took leave ef those at the Hall, where they 
had spent the intervening time, and departed South¬ 
ward, it was with a promise from Dr. Willoughby 
that this anticipation should be fulfilled.— [To be

Answer to Anagram: 
Beautiful custom was that of old, 
When the Hebrews brought, with a joy untold, 
The earliest ears of the ripening corn, 
And laid them down by the altar's horn; 
When the priesthood wavcjl them before the Lord, 
While the Giver of harvests all hearts adored; 
What gifts more suited could man impart 
To express the flow of his grateful heart?
