He surely can spare you n few weeks, if hc
knows you will DO happy; indeed love

Happy, foolish Alice did no dark pre-
sentiment Of the future arise, as you indul-
| god in sucll fond ideal dreams, did not some
kind fairy whisper to you in low and sad
accents that you were giving your happiness
too frail foundation, Alas ere another eve
your fond visions will have proved ephemeral
MS the morning dew.
The next morning few favored friends
came to witness Alice united to hor be-
trothOd according to the laws Of the land,
and happy party it was, that sailed forth
, Chat beautiful spring morning from the aris-
tocratic halls Of Mr. Leroy. They proceed
ed to the chape,, whose doors wero thrown
, open, and disclosing tho aged form Of Father
Maynard who was to have tho happiness Of
, uniting two loving hearts. How lovely
t the young bride looked as sho hung upon
the arm Of her affianced, her beautiful faco
now suffused with bushes, and now palo as
: tho lily which hangs its modest head from
the rude gaze of tho passor-by and how no
bio and manly did he appear rs he gazcd
fondly into tho depths of those pure cyes,
which woro an index Of the heart that beat
for him and him only, must not his bettcr
nature have been stirred within him when
ho realized the sacredness Of the trust that
was SO confidently reposcd in hima Alas!
that our better nature can be so perverted
and scared by sinful course as to lie dor
mant within Us, and not awaken to the voice
Of tho charmer, charm he never SO wisely,
: and her father, what must have been his
, emotions as he gave his only and idolized
} child to tho caro- Of stranger, but now as ho.
ever had been, he was willing to sacrifice his.
} own happiness to secure hers.
, Scarcely had tho ceremony commenced
| when tho hasty trampling of borse's feet was
heard at the gate. 1t was a very unusual
thing at that quiet retreat, and each looked
, in CONSERVATION at the other.
, "Shall l proceed with the ceremony"
asked the Clergyman.
, "No" said Mr.. Leroy, "we will first as
certain the meaning of this Interruption"
: BY this time man had thrown himself
: from the horse and hurriedly rushed into
the chapel, Mr.. Moreland turned deadly
: pale relinquished his brides and muttcred
between his teeth II ain lost" Mr.. Leroy
o sprang to tho assistance Of his daughter and
: taking her in his arms, boro hor to the 9TH
J. or side of the apartment.
"Villian, what do you here" said Mr..
f Moreland, as he sprang forward to grasp
: tho throat of tho man who had thus unccr-
s enormously entered.
. "Wretch," exclaimed the intruder rs ho
|, felled him to tho floor, have you not had
!, victims enough. l have come to save tho
I innocent and punish tho guilty, why has
= the avenglng arm boon stayed SO long
t Think not you will now escape my ven
geance, but will suffer the reward of your
3 Infamous crimes" and taking.a pistol from
2 his belt, he fired it at his helpless victim
i who murmured, 30 God, it is Just" and ex-
:, pired without groan, then hastily remount-
: ing his horse, the murderer galloped off in
', the Same direction that he came and soon
II disappeared from sight
