story was revived, and her grave visited by the
curious traveller, who heard, with fearful eye the
melancholy fate Of one young and beautiful
1t was more than twenty years after these tragi-
cal events took place, that stranger, wrapt in
cloak, was seen bending with feeble steps, wasted
form, and haggard eyes towards the grave of Helen
"A peasant, passing homeward with curious gaze,
noticed his steps, another stranger Of more hum
bic guise, appeared to watch, at short distance,
with anxious and respectful look the person who
with mourntul aspect tottered along.
still and solemn was the scene; on the grave
wild flowers sprung, mingling with the long grass
which in deWy drops waved over the silent stone.
'In mournful attitude, the stately figure, with
Bonded knee and appraised hands, hung over the
grave; but soon, with piercing groan, fell pros
trate on the grave of Helen Surprise and dismay
overwhelmed the honest borderer. He beheld,
he recognized, in the melancholy stranger, the lost
Fleming.
With tender caution he fastened to raise him
up; but it was vain effort His gallant spirit was

'On her grave he found at last his bed of rest
and to the present day, theirremans sleep in peace

death they were not divided
