Grave Yard of the Heart.

Somebody mentioned the "Grave-
yard of the Heart )" it is a startling
phrase, and we suppose it is descrip-
tive OF the place where expired hopes,
extinct love and dead ambition are en-
tombed. Time is the grave digger.
Despair weaVes the shroud, Memory
fills the funeral train, and Regret sur
mounts each monume Mt with dark
plumaged raven from Nights Plu-
tonion shore" There are many hearts
in this gladstone land with cemeteries
in the hither corners, and there are
yet other hearts in which living men
who move among us are entombed -
But the sleep of the dead is one of un-
rest; Hope has a summer lodge in
that silent valley, and sometime walks
among the tombs. striking the coffin
lids with his staff, ever anon startling
a pale citizen of that paid realm to
stand disquieted before him, like Sam
uel in the presence of the Enchantress
of Endor. But if there be sorrowful
mounds in that inner world, there are
also fragrant flower gardens, sacred
temples and perpetually leaping foun-
tains, singing birds, and laughing chill
dren who go about gathering flowers
in the graveyard of the heart" And
there is in it little Vale of Avoca,
where memory loves to linger in ex-
pectation that some inhabitant of the
metropolis, not dead, but sleeping,
may have been uncofined by the sex
ton, Hope.

On the summit of hill near Null
bach, a small town of Rhenish Prussia,
there is chapel dedicated to St. JOS
eph. Being place of pilgrimage,
this chapelis on festival days visited
by many of the inhabitants of the sur
rounding country but on other days
of the year it seldom happens that the
sound of human .oot-step distrrbs
the sacred solitude.
Very early on the morning of the
10Th of July, 1918, and q peasant
proceeding to work, was vending his
way along a narrow path at the foot
of the hill. His dog was running be-
fore him. Suddenly the animal stop

ted off rapidly in the direction Of the
chapel The dog soon returned to his
master, bowling piteonSly, and betray-
ing unequivocal signs Of terror The
peasant quickened his pace, and turn
ed directly into the path leading up to
the chapel. On coming within sight
of the portal of the little ediice, he
was horror struck to behold, stretched
on the steps, the lifeless body Of a
young man.
The terrified pea SAINT hurried to the
neighboring village with tidings
of what he had seen. The news
spread with the swiftness Of lightning,
and, in very short space Of time, the
magistrate of the district, accompan-
led by the village doctor and school
master, and followed by a crowd o
country people, were asC ending the
hill in the direction of the chapel.
The body was found precisely on thu
spot in the position described by the
peasant. 1t was the corse of a very
handsome young man part Of thu

Love, Jealousy and Ruin

There have beea lately developed
in Buffalo, the particulars of one of
the saddest histories of love and suf-
fering which has come under our no.
tice. The story is briefly as follows
A young lady, resident of the south
western portion of New York State,
became bethrothed to a young villiag-
er. The engagement lasted through
two years, of unbroken affection, when
new visitor to the place-a middle
aged man-agent of an Eastern agri-
cultural firm, l,ecame introduced to
the lady, and won her esteem by his
dignifed and intelligent conversation
so as to finally become acknowledged as
permanent acquaintance. Hisatten-
tions became disagreeable to the lover
of the lady, who requested her to dis
courage them, which she mildly, tho
firmly refused to do, adducing the su-
perior age and courteous department
of the stranger as her excuse. Finally
the young man, meeting his mistress
in carriage with the agent, asked
her to alight and walk with him. a
discourte'y to her present cavalier
which she would not submit to- and
proceeded on her ride.
The young man, in a fit of disap-
pointment and desperation, returned
home, accumulated few necessaries,
and left the same day for Buffalo,
vowing never to return. Tn the mean
time his bethrothed, hearing of his
absence, on her return, was almoss
maddened by regret and remorse.-
On the same night she fed from her
home, and followed the track of her
lover. She reached the city on the
ensuing morning, almost destitute of
means, ignorant of her course, and
without single acquaintance in the
river of faces which surged on every
side. She spent-poor tender heart
ed, persevering soul-nearly three
days in constant but hopeless pursuit
of her lost idol, wandering in her
search through the streets, into Offices
and even to the doors of dwelling
hon 'es; never finding single trace
of him she sought, yet persevering
even in despair. The end of all this
was terrible. She was ensnared DIT
the Malstrom that has drawn so many
waits into its awful vortex, and lost
like her myriad sisters, in its depths.
Her parents in time searched for their
love as she did for hers, found her in
helpless wickedness, and took her
back, and home. And this very lately.
A letter had come to the village
soon after she left, from her lover,
saying that he had gone west from
Buffalo which accounts for all
He knows the sequel now, reproaches
himself for all, hut will not, dare not,
as he says, though he loves her still,
go back to gaze upon the ruin which
he ascribes to his own wild temper.

dent of Berlin, had some tins sgo been
on visit to Baron Schonwald, at his
castle near Muhlbach Caroline, who
was good musician, frequently went
to the castle to sing and accompany
the lady on the pianoforte. When
Madame Weltheim was about to leave
the castle, Caroline assisted the femme
| de chambre to pack up. In a snail
box filled with ribbons, flowers, and
other trihes, tie glove was found
Being an odd one, the lady's maid
threw it on the ground as useless. -
Caroline, admiring the small size and
elegant form of the glove, picked it up,
and said she would keep it as ms
mortal of Madame Weltheim. I am
fally convinced" pursued Schelnitz,
that oil the young lady stated is
strictly true.
"You remember the letter written
il French which was found among
your brothers. effects. It's signature
was the letter G.. Now | am inform
ed that Madame Weltheim's femme de
chasnbre was French girl, and that
her name was Cecile. You will, no
doubt, be struck with this coincidence.
Cecile is described as tall and slen Ter;
Caroline Gaeben is on the contrary,
of short stature. All that | can learn
of Madame Weltheim is, that she is
lady of good family, and moves in the
best society of Berlin"
1t is strange, thought Ferdinand,
when he had finished reading the let
ter, that Schelnitz should attach so
much Importance to condolences which
seem to me the mere result of chance
He went out to call on Count Hidden
rath, with the intention of communi-
eating to him what he had learned
The count was from home, but the
countess, who had just arrived from
the country, received him with great
kindness. She was full of curiosity
respecting the murder, and pressed
Ferdinand to inform her of all the
particulars.
"Your broh her was buried near
the spot where his body was found,
l believe" said the lady.
