Verttia gradually revived, and, in a few
she was able to walk about. Into kinder
hands, she could not possibly have falleni and
her rapid recovery was not a little owing, to
the unremitted attentions of the mother and
her daughter.
She was very weak, however, for several
days, and could not endure the least undue
ezertion. She had constant pain and diz-
ziuess in her head, and her mind, at times,
was very much unsettled. She could not fix
her thoughts, for any length of time, upon
env subject at all. There was a dreamy list
lessness about all her thoughts, and she seem
ed TO herself to be living in some strange,
visionary sort Of state, from which every
thing real and tangible was excluded.
And may we not perceive in this the bene-
ficent hand of Providence. Had the reality
of her situation, with her recent trials, been
suddenly presented to the mind, it might have
been beyond the power Of endurance. But
heaven is merciful; and the memory is allow
to recall the past, only when there is strength
Of mind and body TO bear it.
That memory, however, was faithful to its
trust. The scenes OF the past were too vivid
ly impressed upon it to be forgotten. There
were images there that no time nor adventure
could possibly efface. They had been engra-
we'd, perhaps, for eternity's endurance. And
though yelled over for brief season, yet the
veil after little is removed, and there they
arc, in bold and living reality.
One afternoon she felt almost well. The
pain, in measure had left her head, and she
felt stronger. In the cool of the evening, for
the first time she ventured a walk into the gar
den; although from the door Of the cabin,
she had frequently gazed at the ,fiower-beds,
and out upon the dark forest. But every
thing hitherto seemed to have;a strange hail
ness about it, and presented itsef to the eye
tn some queer distorted form. This evening,
however, things had a new and more life-like
appearance. The flowers looked natural, and
emitted their usual odors; the birds sang
again their old favorite songs; the trees had
the same dress of living green and the sun,
whose declining rays were shooting, arrow
like, through the tops Of the tall forest, look
ed like the same whose setting glories she had
so often admired. ~
Then, she seemed herself again. She could
realize her individuality. But where was she?
She looked at the old gray, mouldering walls;

esBut those cats, in our opinion, are in dan
ger, and we warn all who have any interest in
them, either present or expectant, to look to
them. We have been constrained to watch
for hours, when we ought to have been asleep.
We have heard the clock strike twelve, one,
two, at intervals in their performances, and
have been tempted to the use of terms not to
be found in any religious work, or any of the
standard sermons of the day. We have drop
ped many brickbats among them, wasted more
wood upon them than we are able to spare,
have taken cold by exposure to the night air,
and become hoarse by following 'sScat." We
have exhausted our loose pieces of brick, .he
smaller sticks of our wood pile, and our pa
tience. In view of all these facts we submit
that there is nothing left for us but to move
ourself, or move those cats, and 1ce shall not
move. We have prepared double barreled
gun, full supply of powder and percussion
caps, and in our opinion, somebody's cats will
go home some moonlight night complaining
of feeling unweil. IF they do, we must be
held harmless.

Here the woman quickly rose to her feet;
and, approaching one of the couches, drew out
from under it, large, yelled, earthen urn.
F'See here, pretty stranger" said she.
Vertitia, with great difficulty, rose and step
ped forward to her side; when the woman, lif-
ting the veil from off it, said, with faltering,
sinking voice,
ssThere are his ashes.''
The next moment, she was lying insensible
on the couch. She had another of her spells.
