Many years have gone by on the wings
of light and shadow, but the scenes have
portrayed still come over me, at times, with
a terrible distnctness. The oak yet stands
.. the base of the precipce, but its limbs are
black and dead, and the hollow trunk, look
ing upwards to the sky as 'if calling to the
clouds for drink is an emblem Of rapid and
noiseless decay. A year ago visited the
spot, and the thoughts of bygone years came
mournfully back to me-lhoughts of the
little innocent being who fell by my side
like some beautiful tree of Spring, rent up
by the whirwind in the midst of its bios
somng. But remember-and oh there
was JOY in the memory that she had gone
where no lighlnings slumber in the folds
of The rainbow cloud, and where the sun
light waters are broken only by the Storm
breath of Omnipolence.
My readers will understand why ] shrink
in terror from the thunder. Even the con-
seriousness Of security is no relief to me
my fears have assumed the nature of an
instinct, and seem indeed part of my ex-
islence.

the day continued until nearly noon
for the fist time the indication Of al
Coaching tempest was manifest. Over
summit of mountain at the distance oil
"a; mile, the folds of dark cloud be-
came suddenly visible, and at the same in
slant, hollow roar came down upon the
winds, as if it had been the sound of waves
in a rocky cavern. The cloud rolled GU,
like banner fold upon The air, bu, still the
atmosphere was as calm and the leaves as
mo,ioness as before, and there was not even
culver upon the sleeping walters to tell OF
the coming hurricane.
To escape the tempest was impossible.
As the only resort, we fed to an oak that
stood at the foot of tall and rugged preci-
pice. Here we remained and gazed almos,
brea,hlessly upon the clouds marshaling
themselves like bloody giants in the sky.
The thunder was not frequent, but every
burst was so fearful that the young creature
who stood by me shut her eyes convulsive-
ly, chung with desperate strength to my arm,
and shrieked as if her very heart would
break. A few minutes and the storm was
upon US. During the height of its fury, the
lille girl lifted her finger towards the pre-
cipice that lowered about us. ] looked up,
and an amethys,ine flame was qulvering up
on its gray peaks! and the next moment
the clouds opened, the rocks to.lered to their
foundations, a roar like the groan of u
inverse filled The air, and fellmyself blind
ed, and thrown knew not whittier. How
long | remained insensibe ! cannot tell,
but, when consciousness returned, the vio-
lence of The tempest was abating. the roar
of The winds dying in the tree tops, and the
deep tones of the cloud coming in fainter
murmers from the Eastern hills.
Iarose, and looked trembling and almost
delriously around. She was lhere-,he
dear idol of my infant love-slre,ched out
on the green EARTH After moment of ir-
resolution, wen, up and looked upon her.
The handkerchief upon her neck was slight
" rent, and single dark spot upon her bo-
som told where the pathway of her death
had been. At frs, clasped her to my
breast with a cry of agony, and then laid
her down and gazed upon her face almost
with feeling of calmness. Her bright,
dishevelled ring lets clustered sweelly around
her brow. the look Of terror had faded from
her lips, and infant smiles were pictured
beautifully there the red rose linge upon
her cheek was lovely as in life, and as
pressed it TO my own, the fountains oil
tears were opened, and ] wept as if my
heart were waters. have but dim recol-
lection of what followed onl V know thai
remained weeping and motionless till the
comming of twilight, and was then taken
,ynder|y by the hand, and led away where
