loved so truly, was desolate2 | dreamed that
u Il were only mine-if could only once see
the pictured lineaments Of my beautiful and for
gotten, all those haunting spectres would leave
me- and he would come and smile upon me
when was alone. pondered all this, and one
night, when every one was asleep, and nobody
thinking OF me or my sorrow rose up, and
stealing softly down stairs, went to her house.
II was low cottage dwelling, and the case
ment was left open. entered, and bent over
the sleeping girl. All she was not thinking Of
me, but she looked so peaceful that envied her.
On her neck saw the ribbon attached 10 his
picture; her fair, small hands were clasped
over II, and paused and hesitated just then
she smiled soft, childish smile, and knew
she had never loved him, or she could not smile
when he was gone forever. That thought gave
me strength. severed the ribbon with small
knife had brought with me, and lifting up her
hands, seized the picture. She walked and
screamed aloud, as the bright knife glittered in
the moonbeams, and her eyes glanced upon my
figure. Her scream sounded fearfnlly through
the cottage. ! seized my prize and escaped !;
the picture was mine, all mine. pressed it TO
my heart and was happy, for the spectres did
not come. could sing now and talk galy with
them all, for those sweet features smiled on me
once more. But my fathers eye began to rest
strangely on my face, and my companions
shrank away when encountered their gaze.
Well, heard news soon-that fair cousin was
dead, ay, dead, and they said that grief for his
loss had caused it; but | told them no-thal
grief did not kil.-for had loved him too.
1t was the day of the funeral. wanted to
see her once more, but knew his mother would
not let me come in il she knew it. So yelled
my face and went to the house. ! drew near
and stood by the bier of her who had found that
rest which was denied me. How ike rose,
crushed by the tempest, she looked-so still and
pale ] envied her that quiet sleep, for she had
died for him. The light curls rested gracefully
on the fair cheek, and her hands were crossed
as had seen them before but the smile was on
her lips still. was sad then, but his mother
came near her, whispering something of unre-
turned and hopeless loves, and knew that she
pitied her-she who had never pitied me. So
lifted up my veil, and gazed steadfastly upon her
face, but she shrieked when she met my glance,
and heard the words, " Take her away, for she
is mad-mad."
But what made me so? Ay, what had made
me 500
After this had long, long sickness, and my
dreams were many. When recovered again,
my father called me maniac, and my sister
shrank from my presence, and talked all day to
myself, and nobody cared for me then. They
brought me here at last and thought always to
be alone; but they never guessed that he came
with me, till the air is filled with his low sill
very tones, and forget how cruel every one
else seemed TO me. ] am happy, too, till they
tell me killed him, and till think of that fair
creature, and his mothers looks, and then rave
till he comes again.
