THE BITTER NIGHT.
BY MRS. G. H. FORD.

Fling another fagot on the fire, my
child said weak voice, as of sick wo
man, Il am very cold. How the wind
shakes this frail cabin. All it was not so
in Altman Castle, when your dear father
lived. The meanesl hand had then COM
Portable roof and plenty Of fagots. Little
die he think his wife and child should ev-
ersufIer thus
The speaker was lady already advan-
ced in wears. whose originally fine dispo-
si,ion. perjury and disease had rendered
querulous. The person she addressed sat
by the scan,y fire, preparing the evening
meal, for although the storm rendered all
willou. dark, the hour was not yet that
of the usual twilight. Clad in coarse and
faded garments, with hur lovely face worn
with sorrow and care, it would have been
impossible to recognize in her the once
pround heiress but Cor her graceful figure,
The proud eve, and the air Of refinement
about her face and movements, which
o,hing could conceal She heard her
mothers command with sigh, gazed
wis,lully on The sole remaining fago', and
then mournfully continued her occupation.
Clara Altman had been born in almost
princely halls, and educated as the heiress
of the broadest domains in the north OF
England. Up 10 her fifteenth year the
sun Of her prosperity had been unclouded.
She was beautiful even beyond her sex,
and already surrounded by noble and wor
Inv suito,s. TO one of these she had
pledged her virgin heart. All the deli
cious emotions of first love ware hers,
and life seemed to lie before her, like a
flowery path beneath a summer morning
1 sun.
All at once cloudcame over her sky
! It was the era of the crusades; and when
the lion hearted Richard assumed the cross
her father, and subsequently her lover iol
J. lowing his example, set forth in his suite
for the Holy Land. With many tears Ola
"a and her mother saw them depart; bu
honor babe them forward, and the vile
and daughter. even amid their sorrow, fell
they could not persuade them to remain.
| A long year passed, then another. and
then third. At first Clara heard at Ions
intervals from her sni,or, but in the secont
| year the intelligence arrived that both NJ
and her father had fallen. in deadly shir
mish with the Saracens led by Salad'n II
| person. The melancholy news was' !
! few months later, confirmed by the arr
val Of squire Of the late lord, who san
he had seen his master iail IN Da''le. -
