A blank came overm life--oh, the weary

A deathly chill crept over me as / cried,

He had not heard me, humbly hoped,

Till she died, that dear heart rested on my
bosom; in the morning laid bdck the damp

clay, I cannot stay here, it is agony
Not long after, gathercdny few CLOTHES;

shall never forget that night. The hills
were white with moonlight, and wanted
to pluck one violet To take with me. In
that quiet hour knelt sobbing over the
mound, breathing one prayer, gathered my
flowers and tarped togo-lknew not where.
"A tall form stood beside me; could not
fear him now, nor dislike him, heso pale, SO
sorrowful, as lie said: Lillian, what does
this meant Where are you going to, my
clild.'
Ills voice trembled turned away and
the tears ran, aown my checks.
do We not treat you we'll, Lillian?' lie
asked, how Ii.olrnfnllt.
'Yes, oh! yes,' ! ,murihdred, lyon have
only been too kind.'
'And my poor little motherless child;
would you leave her, Lillian!'
At this l lost all self-control. IF you had
not TESTED at me- l sobbed, 'despised me,
boasted that II
stop Lillian. What do these words,
mean?' he asked in stern tones.
sIady Isabel gasped; and so as Igrew
calm, as far as my delicacy would let me,
gave her cruel language, word for word.
It's false-all talse,' he said, taking my
han1, for so far from Boosting that knew
You loved me, Lillian, l did not dare believe
that one SO y Dung, 50 beautiful, 50 good and
gentle, might feel, ether than sentiments of
friendship for one SO much older aud graver
than herself His voice grew soft and mu-
sical-I was astonished -overwhelmed--my
confidence deserted me. =. * i
Yes, Lillian. gladly would make You
my own dear wife, he added, drawing me to
his side. True, you have neither gold nor
station; Bat the wealth Of a pure, glad young
heart like yours is all ! ask. Say, will You
take the place,of the sainted zone who lies
here with little Gertrude? Lillian, tell me-.
can you love me we'll enough to marry me. ,
Oh! Heaven Knows I haa long, long loved
him, not daring to whisperit to myself in
darkest night; and over Gertrude's grave L
told him yes
Poor Lady Isabel! she had trusted to her
beauty, her gold, her power; and they had
failed her. When she first saw me with my
noble husband. she grew white with anger,
disappoint inent and terror, that her duplic-
ity had been discovered. Poor Lady Isabel,
she is unmarried to this day, and she loved
the baronet herself.

- Dark, dark dc night, and wus de MOON,

TO charm the yoblum ghosts away,
While skunk lac sweets am Ringing.

Gallus SON Of Ginger Blue
De- whip-um-wils, squat on de stone;

Do dancing frogs all "swash-a" down,
Outside and up de middle;
What dat what dat dis nigger's eyes
Displore, wild mighty big SURPRISE
Upon de gum tree swinging!

Rocked in de cradle oh de breeze
And listening to dc singing.
