I met my brother and Marguerite. walking hand in hand. I was about to pass without speaking when he exclaimed, “Now, John do not be sulky.” -When I was seventeen a friend of my father's died, leaving him as guardian to his only child, a girl about my own age. It was settled that she should stay at the Vicarage with us, and after the funeral my father brought her to her new home. She was a. girl of medium height, with a fine, noble forehead, sparkling eyes. and dark waving hair, and in appearance was as graceful as her name, which was Marguerita. Her disposition was kind and gentle; in fact she was the most lov- able of her sex I have ever met with. She soon got accustomed to her new home, and became as a sister to my brother and Three years passed away and I was nearing manhood, whilst Marguerita was just verging into womanhood. The promise of beauty of her early years had developed into a gentle graceful loveliness, and she was as lovable in disposition as ever. My love for her had grown more with the years, and I determined to make my declaration at the first available oppor- tunity. It hever came, for though impulsive I was very nervous, and for days I shunned the presence of all the other inmates of the house. Of course, this threw my brother more into Marguerita’s company, and I still grew more jealous. I need not have done so, for my brother, noble fellow that he was, had stifled his own lrzvo and was doing all he could to aid my suit. I. From the first she and I were good friends, and as the vears rolled by the friendship on my part developed into such a love as one can only feel once in a. life- time. and I felt that life without her would be a misery. Though I did not know whether my affection was reciprocated, I was blindly jealous of any little attention my brother paid to her, never thinking that he might love her as well as I did; he could not have loved her more. The jealousy and rage pent up in my bosom increased, till it ended in a scene the infamy and shame of which will go down to the grave with meltgne night,when I was'born forty years ago in the country village of Scolby, a place about fifty miles from here. My father was the vicar, a kind, good-hearted man, loved by all who knew him. I scarce- ly knew a mother’s love, for she died three years after my birth. Had she but lived, I firmly believe I would have been a better and nobler man, and my life might not have been a failure, but there is no use dwelling on what might have been. I had only one brother, two years older than myself, and I only speak the truth when I say a better brother never lived. He loved me devoutedly, and I returned his love as much as my selfish nature would permit. I was very impulsive and of a ‘ jealous disposition, and in conse- quence I often got into trouble which might otherwise have been avoided. If my father had a failing, it was that of indulging me too much, for, being the youngest, I was allowed to do near- ly as I pleased. rather surprised he said, “Pardon me, I was forgetting you were with me, as I have become so used to my own company, and the ocean often calls up memories of the bitter past. Yet it is but right, for I deserve all the punish- ment that has been inflicted upon me, and the bitter experiences were brought about entirely through my own jealousy and pride, and my remorse and guilt are all the worse because I have spoil- ed other lives as well as my own. But if you like to hear my history you can then judge for yourself what I have been, and I will only hope that you will learn useful lessons from it.” Finding a piece of wreck we sat down and he told me the following narrative, which I give in his words. ‘ As the fishermen were endeavoring to restore him to consciousness, I was enabled to obtain a good survey of him. '1 hough he appeared to be only about ’ forty years of age, he was already grey- headed, and lines of sorrow and care were deeply marked upon his brow. From the fishermen I learned that he was not a. visitor at Runs wick, but had resided there for about three years. What and who he was they did not know, and not being an inquisitive people, he had settled down in theiri midst without being disturbed. All that they knew was that he' was a. gentleman and possessed of means, for psince he first lodged with Widow Strong, three years since, had not done labor of any kind. As I gazed on him as he lay in the boat, I thought his history might be worth hearing, and being very fond of listening to narra- tives and experiences, I determined, if possible, to learn this gentleman’s story. \Vhen the boat reached the shore, with the aid of the fishermen I carried him to hislodgings. and did not leave until I saw him safely under Mrs. Strong’s care. As the Runswick women do most of the doctoring re- quired, I did not think it needful to send for medical advice, as Mrs. Strong informed me with a few days rest he would soon be all right again. Before I left he told me his name was John Raymond, and asked me to call again. I did so often, and we became very triendly. He did not, however, ment- ion anything about his past history, till one fine day, the first on which he was able {0 come out, as we were strolling. gently by the sea, “I can not bear it.” Then seeing that I was looking The hot 151on rushed to my head, and THE VVATCHMAN LlNDSAY, THURSDAY, JULY 21 Emmi] wvhich i'ivered my attention. It was headed “Thrilling Incident at Runswick,” and told of a bather who when in peril had been nobly rescued by a gentleman named John Raymond but at the cost of his own life, as the current had swept his body out to sea, and it had not been recovered. So my friend’s wish had been gratified. His last act was the noblest of his life, and though he cannot rest side by side with his Marguerita they. will have been united again. Father lived for five years longer, and he was laid by the side of her I loved. I had nothing then left to live for, and I wished that: I too could die. But: it was not to be. For ten years I have sought death in various forms in all parts of the world, but in vain. so I became resigned to life, and retired to spend the rest. of it in this quiet village three years ago. Some- how I seem to think I shall not live long, and my only wish is that even in the hour of death 1 may be of use to someone. I sometimes visit the grave of my Mar- guerita, and if possible when dead I should like to lie beside her. MARGUERITA ANDERson- Who died March 10th, 1873. The my darling was dead, and my brother’s sacrifice had been in Vain. So overcome with remorse and shame to think that I had ruined two lives that I sank down by her grave and remained in a stupor for hours. I returned to myself long after the sun had set, and then I thought of the living. Once more I trod the dear old garden path. and as I enter- ed door I could hear my father praying for the wanderer. In an instant I was in his arms and had confessed all. When he heard of my brother’s death he exclaimed “Father. Thy will be done.” He only said to me. “My son, I will not reproach you, for none has suflered from your sin more than yourself." He then told of the last moments of my darling: how worn down with sickness, shehad longed to see me once more. and had given a last message that if I followed out the teach~ inns of her mother’ s testament, which she left for me, we would meet again. I have carried that testament next to my heart ever since, and I wish it _to be buried with V3.10. Troubles never come singly, and as I journeyed to Scolby, burdened with care and sorrow. I never thought that burden would be terribly increased. At last I reached my native place, and before going to the Vicarage I sat; down in the church- yard to rest. I could scarcely believe my eyes when I read on a new tombaome close by :7 This concluded his story, and I thanked him heartily as we returned to Runswick. Two days after we parted to meet no more. ' One morning next summer, while perusing my paper 1 came across a para- All went well with our vessel till we reached the Yorkshile coast when a a thick fog settled on the ocean. We kept ‘ bright lights burning to avoid a collision, ‘but all in vain, for about one o’ciock in the morning a steamer ran into us, and our vessel began to sink. The boats could not take all, and my brother and I were amongst the few left on the deck of the sinking ship. He had a lifebuoy. which he put round me, urging me to jump over- board a 1d wait till I was picked up. Then in that hour of peril I indeed realised what a noble brother I possessed. He had sacrificed his love, and now would gladly and willingly give his life for the one who had treated him so badly. I would not consent till he exclaimed “John, you must l Do it for Marguerita’ s sake. If‘ we are both drowned what will she do 2” ‘ Then, and then only, did I yield, and as we parted he said, “Tell father and her that I was prepared for death, and I met ‘ it well 11nd calmly." I got about forty yards away from the shin before she went down, taking with her one of the noblest men that ever breathed. I was picked up by one of the steamer’s boats, and thh those of cur crew that: were saved were landed next morning at. Whitby. I was living. He, gen‘Erous, noble fellow had at once consented and said he would find me if he searched the wide world over. He had been a year on his errand befored he met me. I at once consented to return home with him and we took berths in a vessel sailing for N ewcastle-on- Tyne. He did not disgulse the fact that both my father and my darling were in a. poor state of health, and I knew I was to blame for this, though he did not charge me with it. In the afternoon of the next day I reached Whitby, and there joined a. ship about to sail on a three years’ voyage to all parts of the world. After that was up I returned to England. but could hear nothing of my brother, though I made all the inquiries I dared without risk of dis- covery. I then took ship for the United States, and had been in New York two years. when one day while walking down Broadway I nearly collided with the brother who I thought was dead. In an instance he had clasped me in his arms, and I knew I was forgiven. We returned to my lodgings and he told me what had occurred since my flight. He had recover- ed consciousness and with the aid of Mar- guerite had reached home safely. Though I had sinned so deeply all had forgiven me and mourned my absence. Every enquiry had been made, but four years passed away without any trace of me being found. Then it was that Marguerita had shown her love for me, for she implored my brother to go and bring me back again if in my impetuous temper, for the first time in my life, I knocked my brother to the ground, and that in the presence of her I loved. He fell without a groan, and then I realised what I had done. I would have given worlds to recall that blow, but it could not be. The brother who had lofted and tended me from childhood, who had tried all he could to supply a mother’s place, probably lay dead before me, and it was my hand that had struck the blow, i For aught I knew I was another Cain. In my dazed conlition I determined to get away from justice, and snatching a hasty kiss from Marguerita, which she did not attempt to resent, I hurried off and was soon far from Scolby. 7 Its teachings too have not been in Sacred to the_ memory of privileg° tq borrower to pay ofiiany sum 9n account 0 pnncxpalwnh any payment of Interest WlthO‘Jt notice and without expense.
