This short conversation was carried on in a very low voice unheard by any one else in the room. Laura arose and spoke to Rose and to the neighbor ,both of whom immedi- ately left the house. when she return- ed to the bedside of the sick woman, who again eagerly clasped and held her hand, saying: "Oh, Laura!

When Rost- Elmer left her mother's cottngo. it must be remembarod that she had no knowledge or suspicion of the exalted fortunes in prospect for her. Her heart was filled with grief and des- pair-grief for her supposed motheru failing mind and body, and despair at the discovered falsehood and treachery of her lover. For him whom she had knowni only as William Love]. her pure affec-‘ tion, honor and trust had amounted to real faith and worship. With the heath. enish idolatry of a young warm heart. she had adored him as a god. And now to find this idol of her adoration a trai- tor of the deepest dye, who could now woo her under false pretenses and a- sumed name and who, even on his eve of marriage with Lady Etheridge, could coolly plot her own ruin, so wrung her heart with anguish and distracted her brain with wonder that her whole na- ture seemed beaten about between mad- ness and death. as a storm tossed ship between wind and wave. In this mood of mind tshe left the cot- tage and after parting with her neigh- bor at the door of the latter, she walk- ed listlessly down the narrow street, intending to seek the hills. She had pro- ceeded but a little way beyond the out. skirts of the town. and had sat down on the trunk of a fallen tree to rest for a while, when she heard a familiar foot- step approach and looking up, she saw Albert Hastings standing before her. She started up with the intention of hastening away, when he caught her hand and replaced her on her and seat, and smiling said: "What, my sweet Rose.' you broko your appointment with me last evening, and now, on seeing me approach you try to run away. How is that, Iweet Rose?” "When I made that appointment yel- terday morning, I thought that I was making it with my own betrothed lover, William Lovel, and not with the affian- ced husband of Lady Etheridge, Mr. Hastings," replied Rose, with more sev- erity upon hor young brow than any one would have suppoed her cpnble of showing. "Mr. Hastings! Lady Etheridge. Wtutt is it you mean, Rose? Some one has been islandering, me to you." "No, Mr. Hastings. Thank Heaven that no one on earth knows our acquaintance except your worthy friend and valet, Le. vere. Thank Heaven that none else in this world knows the extent, of your falsehood and my folly!” "Rose, what in Heaven's name, is the meaning of this. It seems to me. that to- day I have fallen into a train of strange adventures." "Not so strange either, as those you had marked out for yourself when you purposed in the same day to marry a peeres and ruin a peasant. Oh. against whien of the two did you meditate the blackest treachery. Against the unloved lady whom you were about to lead to the altar, or the ill-loVed cottager, whom you were alluring to destruction. Good Heaven. what blackness of wickedness! Stand out of my 'rv, air, and let me pass. Your presence darkens the very sunshine to me'." exclaimed the maiden, with a horror so real that it could not have been concealed. - 7 inkliogéi’ {have twice asked you what is" the meaning of this attack.

But first, perhaps, you will explain to me how it is, that on this, your wedding day and hour, you are hem question: ing me, instead of being at the chunk with Lady Etheridge." - - He saw by her manner and her expro- aion that she knew too much for hm to attempt to carry on the decepton. He felt no other course was possible for him but to tell the truth and defend his conduct as bent he might. He said; - "iii-Gi/ii' irti.w/tivai- mary months it fore I knew you and 1oye, partly to rinse, a rtly to please the Indy who conic-red uron me the honor of her pre- femnoe,,I contracted nylon to Lem Etheridge, without e particle of love on my aide entering into the "fair.

On reaching the cautxle I was shown to the libralry, where 1 found the lady sitting with documents before her, and with her noble face beaming with happi- ness and bonoditstioms, as though Abe were anticipating the arrival of some- one upon whom she was about to be. l now some new token of her love-.erome _ unemnpled good.

The dear lady, who had nothing to conceal. did not send me from the room, but bade me retire to the bay-window l sent. and amuse myself with some pints until she should be at liberty to go with me. I obeyed her, and in another mo- ment your name. your true name, and not the false one by which I had known you, was announced, and you entered the room. I heard your voice, and, re- cognizing it, started and turned around to assure myself that my ears had not deceived me. No, there you stood, breathing to her the same rows of sin. cere, undying love. that you had just three hours before breathed to me!

" (By I. Banker.) How exhilarating Ind inspiriting to those who appreciate the glories and too beauties of nature is a long walk along the bard dry sand of the seaohore in the early prime of I. bright summer morning. A spirit of glodneu Ind re- ioieing pervades all nature ;the shore birds -- sea-lurks, rock pipits, dotterel, and many another feathered beauty - are gamboling and frolicking, sud flit- ting from rock to rock and from pool to pool in the exuberance of their joy; a. floek of graceful terns is skimming over the breaking waves. so swiftly that they pus like 3 flash of light; and circling and testifying their glsdneu in a chorus of somewhat shrill snd discord- ant cries. And so in like manner smutrentrarteed with the Measures and with the gnietieo of this life, forget that they we wander. ing far away from the thoro- of eternal safety. And then when the rushing waters of that dark stream over which all must pass come suddenly upon them, they realize, perhaps, alas! too late,thn.t all is blackness and darkness. But then are others who far not that drum: for He who died that they might live etern- ally, and Whom they have loved and obeyed, will safely pilot them over ita dark waters right on to the bright In! joyous shores of the glorylnnd.
