I have never seen him since and have ofton wondered who he was.-- I should like to see his kind face and pleasant dark eyes agnin, I promised what he asked; and those fow earnest words did more to quell the desperate thoughts that were maddening me than any ser- mon. Staggering liko one just rezover- ed from n long illness, I walked up the platform and inquired what time the next train would pass down. I suppose there must have been some- thing strange about my appearance, for alittle group soon congregated about me, and some one asked me if [ were ill, "The next down train, sir?" said the station master, hurrying up.-- "2:15, sir." Tt was only ten now--more than four hours to wait! Was he sure that was the only train? TI could never wait four hours in the state of mind I was in, "Can I drive ?" I asked heedless of distance, eagerly scaniing the little crowd around. "I will pay any money to get back to Morely at once,' station master interposed again, "Couldn't get a vehicle of any sort sand pounds--all off to the races." "Is there no luggage train or any thing ? 1 must get back." t Sure there will be a cattle train agony and revulsion of feeling, felt |at one, sir," volunteered a porter.-- |T must go mad. utterly powerless to save her, sweet, gontle wife. | The first half hour after it happen. was a blank, a complete hopeless blank. but an awful bewildering desire to I was conscious of nothing | 2 {take my own life, to put an end to an existence that could be filled with [nothing bat dispair and misery ; for {what was life without Nelly 27 | "Who was sue?" repeated my veler who sat opposite me, "My wife", I answered and then I relapsed into silence, of comfort; but I stopped him. plenty of time for consolation by-and bye.'

The train still dashed on; being an express it stopped at few stations. My only wish now was to get back again as soon as possible, to see all that remained of her, the joy and very sunshine of my life. I knew I was bearing my trouble badly, and felt it unmanly to give way like a woman; but I buried my face and groaned when the memory of the bright sweet face rose and I seemed | to feel her soft arms clinging round | my neck. Again the desire to end my sorrow at once returned to me, and would not be driven away. "What is life without her ?"" The words haunted me till at last the very clang and rattle of the train seemed to repeat them. A kind of mist rose before my cyes, and, fore getting that IT was not alone, 1 took out my knife and opened it, It was instantly wrenched from me and flung out of the window, "Heaven forgive you," said my fellow-traveler sternly, "for medit- ating such asin! Bear this trial like a man and notlike a coward." I feltlike some hunted animal at bay. The horrible scene was being enacted again and again in my mem- ory, and 1 seemed to see the white face and the struggling arms, Nelly was dead now, floating to and fro with the ebb and flow of the dark, cold river, The express dashed on flying past green fields and peaceful homestends. Would it never stop? At last itslak- ened speed and drew up at a station, I got ont, feeling strangely giddy and bewildered, " Let me stay with yon," urged my fellow traveler, the man who had within the last two bours saved my lilo twice, ' B '" No," I replied. "You can do no good, thank you all the. same. I will wait for the down train--1I shall be better alone."

Ah, but could the honest fellow have known tho pang he gave me when in his burst of gratitnde he called down heaven's blessings on my wife if I had one! My wiic! Oh, Nelly, Nelly! I turned away and hastily commenced pacing up and down the Three long hours, How Up and down I tramped, with no com- astonished "Don't," 1 said--*I shall hare panion but my own thoughts, under the fierce glare of a July sun that rose higher and higher in the cloud- less biuo sky. One hour dragged slowly by.-- Eleven o'clock. Only three hours since I haa kissed Nelly and looked into her clear loving eyes, She was dead now, and I should never feel the touch of ber soft band again, nor hear the sound of her voice. It seemed an eternity since we parted, yet it was only three hours ago since we had stood side by side on tho bridge looking down ino the water. Ah, Nelly little guessed then that the river would soon be her grave, and the cruel weeds would cling round her and dug her into the depths below till the pale taco of my darling would rest cold and still in the onze. of the-river bed! On, would that I might clasp her tightly to my heart, and never be parted, for a moment, from my love | Only three hours--and [ seemed to have begun a new life! Was this the beginning of the life that was to be without her--only the first of many days that would dawn aod tring me nothing but sorrow and misery? No; all my life there would be nothing for me bat the memory of a white stone in a church- yard-- the grave where I would lay my broken lily. Up and down I paced, up and down in the blazing sun, till the very sound of my own footsteps on the flagged platform scomed to be driv- ing me mad. At last I stopped, and, pushing back my hat, pressed both hands to my aching, throbbing head. I would not think. , What was the use of thinking ? Nelly was dead. and I wus going back to her funeral. Ishut my eyes aud tried not to see the white face with the awful look of agony imprinted upon it; but it was of no uso. I saw it yot--ihe horrorstricken face, the arms stretched out for the help that never came. Ob, could I live with the memory of that sight to haunt mo for ever ? Tho time crept on slowly; every minute seemed to be an hour, and the hands of my watch appeared searcely to move. The heat wus dreadful. There was no shaae, nothing but the dazzling sung which wus now high in the heavens; but gtill I walked backwards and for- wards, unable to rest, trying to keep calm outwardly, to withstand the awful temptation that would come again and again when I contemplat- ed my lonely, heurt-broken future. Would one o'clock never come? Suddenly I caught sight of the poor lithe bunch of flowers that Nelly had given mo-her lust thought- fal, loving act, I broke down then. Hot tears rushed to my eyes; and leaning my arins on the low wall that bounded the station, I'gave wuy entirely, kissing (he unconscious flowers passionately, and rea'izing merciless sun shone down hotter and fiercer, scorching and drying up everything. With a swelling. heart I placed the fading flowers carefolly in my pocket-book, and then, lest anyone should see my emotion, drew my hat low down on my forehead, and re- sumed my solitary tramp up and down the platform, envying Nelly, who was at rest, Her agony was only for a moment, while miue should be for years and years --as long as I lived. A quarter to one. The train will soon be in, Those last fifteen min- utes were Lhe longest of all; time seemed (0 make no progress; but at last I heurd afar off the rumble of {the coming train. The station be- gan to get a little more animated, and then the long cattle train: aj- jpemed in sight, and drew up slowly at the station. I went up to the gine-driver. "Hero is a sovereign. Will you ;let me go on the engine, as far as Morley ?" od "Jump up, sir, and welcome," was his prompt reply, It seemed as though they never intended to start that train, 1 thought they would never stop shunting ons and running the It seemed a~ but engine up and down. if we were an hour at last the train glided slowly away, and soon I had seen the last of the hateful station where three of the | blackest and most miserable hours of [my life were spont. he cool air fanning my brow calmed me. Motion was pleasant-- anything was better than waiting, and yet the two hours on that engine seemed interminable, But finally we drew nearer and nearer to Mor- ley. A fearful fascination seemed to attract my eyes to the fatal spot. Sotting my toeth I looked long and steadily at tho place Alittle crowd had collected on the bank. They had found her then, all thas remain- ed of poor Nelly. And a kind faintness came over me for amoment When I alighted at Morley I felt ten years older than when I left it The first the plants still standing waiting ; of only a few hoars before. thing my eyes rested on was hamper of there, and the sight of them almost unmanned me. A gentleman, a friend of mine, | came up and put his hand on my | arm, but, breaking away before could utter a word, I left the station and walked hastily aloug the scorch- ing, dusty road, scarcely able to drug my limbs along, and wishing I could just lie down and die. Over the little bridge I went, and across the lawn we had traversed together that morning. The door was wide open--the dogs welcomed me noisily, but their joyous barking and caresses he | | jarred upon me and I repelled the animals. In the dining room 1 found Mr. Sinclair, the rector, sitting silently and gravely at the table. He started when he saw me, and took both my hands in his without speaking. "Where is she ?" I asked hoarsely, «Up stairs," be said gently. "But you must not give way like thix Calin your self before yon go ug stairs." The door opened, and Mrs Sinclair came in, with her face showing the sorrow und pity she felt, "My husband has told you then?" she said, " Yes," I answered, bowing my head; "I am going up to see her." Slowly I went up stairs, treading softly, as though I feared to wake her from her last | slumber. I paused with my band on the handle, and struggling for calmness, then opened the door softly and went in with a teeling of awe strange, hopeless misery. The room was darkened and the sun shone softly through the closed venetians , all was d.eadfully still. The curtains of the bed were drawn, and I paused again ere with trembling bands I drew them back.-- Nerving myself, I raised my hands with an effort and saw--oh, heaven! was I dreaming? Was it but a cruel mockery, a delusion, or was it really Nelly, lying sleeping calmly and peacefully, with the warm blood mautl- ing her check and the waves of brown hair, damp and wet pushed off the peaceful brow ? With beating heart I bent forward and stooping, kissed her.

I did not know how she was saved : it was enough for me to know she was alive, to hear her voice again, and to look into her eyes which filled with tears when I told her what I bad sufiered singe we had parted. fp When the first glad surprise was over, 1 asked how she had Leen saved, nad the mystery was soon explained.

Then we both turned simultaneously and looked out into the garden and listened to the merry voices of the children at play under the lime trees, Presently Neily spoke again.
