B, AUr1FUL--It cannot be that earth
is mans abiding place. Itcannot be that
our life is cast up 10y th, ocean Of eternity
to float upon its woes, and sink into moth
ingness. Else why is it that the glorious
aspirations, which leap like angels, from
the temple Of our hearts, are forever wan
dering about unsatis6edi Why is it,
that the rainbow and the clouds come
over with beauty that is not Of earth,
and pass of to leave US to muse on their
faded loyelinessi I Why is ;tthat the stars
who hold festivals around the midnight
throne are Sc, above the grasp Of our lim
tied faculties, forever rocking us viii
their unapproachable glos nd finall,
why is il that the bright 'Stss of human
beauty are presented TO our view and the'
taken from us, leaving the ,housan
streams Of our affection to now into A
Pima lorrentsi We are borne to high'
destiny than that Of earth.
II There Is a realm where ,ainbows new
, fade, where the STAN will be ont before
! like islets that slumber on 'be ocean, 81
. where the being. that palssd before

For moment, as the strong horror of
that lovers face WAS before him, the Iudi-

yonder doorway, the officers from the
ballroom, and the party round the table,
formed group around the two central
tigures-the Indian, standing at the head
Of the table, his arms folded in his war
blanket-that young officer half rising
from his seat, his lips parted, his face
ashy, his clenched hand resting on the
dark mahogany table.
The Indian answered first by an action
then by a word.
FIRST, the action: Slowly drawing his
right hand from his war blanket, he held
it in the light. That right-hand cIutched
with blood stained fingers bleeding
scalp, and long and glossy locks Of beauti
full black hair!
Then, the word: young warrior sent

Yes-the rude savage had mistaken
his message! Instead Of bringing the
bride to ler lovers arms, he had gone on

The lover rises, presses that long hair, so
black, so glossy, so beautiful, to his heart,

bloody scalp, and the long dark hair fall

When the bridegroom, flung there on

dark tresses in his hand, arose again TO
the terrible consciousness of hfe-these
words trembled from his lips, in faint
and husky whisper.
"Do you remember how, half an hou'
