Five years had passed away since the ia
tai hour which made Alice Arnold a widow
ed bride. Five years of secInsion, sorrow
and concealment, for amid all her woe she
had carefully hidden within her own breas,
the secret of her clandesline marriage. The
priest had died in his distant parish soon af-
ter the young bridegroom had fallen victim
to his evil destiny, and Alice believed that
there existed not one human witness of that
long past scene in the Lovers Walk
Time had brought its solace to her changeful
feelings. The remembrance Of her early
love had become to her but as painful dream
for Alice had bestowed her affections upon
another, and was again bride. But not
now in the loneliness Of the twilight hour,
and in the dim asles Of the greenwood path
did she pledge her faith and troh. The old
walls of Arnolds- digging rung with the sound
of Teasing, and the light of many taper H.
lumined the gloomy apartments IN wltch
were met the friends ofthe Arnold family,
and those Of him to whom Alico had gwen
her hand-the son OF Cromwcll's dearest
friend-John Lambert, of Cation Hail.

Charles NOVEL; felt himself totally une-
quail 10 the task which his father had imposed
on him. The image of Alice with her fair
face and soft eyes was ever before him, and
the thought of her tlmid and sensitive spirit
shrinking before a parents stern dsp!easure
filled HIM with agony. In vain he sought
access to the sorrowng maiden. CONDEMNED
to the seclusion of her own apartment, care
fully guarded from all those who were sup
posed to he her especial friends, and watch
ed by the keen eyes of her obdurate father,
as he supposed, there was lille hope of COM
torting her angushed heart by his sympathy
and affection. lie little knew that Alice was
stretched upon bed of suffering with death
watching at her pillow. lie little knew that
she had been brought TO the very portals Of
the tomb by the cruel blow which fell from
her fathers hand. 1t may be that tho ole
man felt some Of the slate remorsc of love
as no gazed on the palld features of his on,
child, and remembered that if the grave
closed over her in her young beauty, hel
blood would rest upon his head. 1t may be
that telling of long-torge,.en tenderness
awoke within his bosom as he thought of he
who had given her life to purchase tins gen,l,
child whom he had so neglected and mis-
prlsed. Certain it is, that, when her diseas,
was driven back, and the faint hue of return
ing health tinged her thin cheek, he seemed
to have forgotten, or, al least, forgiven he
offence. lie uttered no reproacbes for tn,
