Ono letter yet, papa" and Nellie stole
out of the room, in the sombre late autumn
twilight, to weep all alone, for Edward had
been absent a month, and Nellie had not
heard from him during that time.
No letter yet, papa?" another month
had passed; the snow lay white on the
ground, but it was not winter than Nellie's
cheek, as she slowly left the room, and
mamma followed her with sad, tear filled
eyes.
"Thcrc! letter for you at last, my
child" spoke the glad, hearty tones of my
father; and he laid it in Nelles eager
hands. Another month had passed, and
she was lying on the lounge in mammals
bedroom but her checks wore the hue of
the pillow no longer.
How the white fingers trembled as they
tore away the seal. A moment after, the
roses hue died out in Nelle's cheek, and
shrek arose (the memory of whose ex-
cceding anguish, though six long years lie
between the hour of its birth and the pres
ent, well nigh palsies the hand that now
seeks to record i) from my sisters lips,
and she lay sonseless on the floor. / can
not pant you picture OF those dark, dark
hours, reader; for the tears blind my eyes
so, my hand forgets its cunning, and my
pen refuses to do its work.
Very brief, and very bitter, was the let
ter that came to Nellie, telling her in few
cold sentences that the dream of his youth
had passed; that tho heart of Edward Pres
ton now quickened with love for another,
far, far above the beautiful cottage girl, and
he asked her to release him from the en-
gagement he had rashly made, and the
VOWS he had cursed himself for speaking.

uneasiness with regard to the engagement
formerly existing between us. cancel it
this moment, and am greatly obliged to you
(since you have proved thus inconstant) for
aGording mo an opportunity of doing so.

In that brief note, written the next day,
my sister Nellie "slayed all the hopes of her
future" / remember how she pressed
down her small throbbing fingers on the
paper, so that Edward Preston should ney-
