mistaken its head for that Of q living
person. Isax at once that the peculiari-
ties Of the design, ,;of the, ,vigoetting, and Of
the frame, must have Instantly dispelled
such an idea, must have prevented even its
momentary entertainment. Thinking earn
estly upon these points, remained for an
hour, perhaps, half sitting, haH-reclining,
with my vision rivetted upon the portrait,
At length, sa, ,isfied with the true secret Of
ito effect, fell back within the bed. / had
found the spell of the picture In an abso-
lutte life-likeness Of expression, which, at
first, startling, finally confounded, subdued
and appalled, me. With deep and revesent
awe, replaced the candelabrum- in its
former position. The cause Of my deep
agitation being thus shut from view, I
sought eagerly the. volume ahich discussed
the paintings and their histories. Turning
10 the number which designated the oval
portrait l there read the queer and quaint
words which follows:
''She was maiden of rarest beauty,
aud no more lovely than full Of glee. And
evil wss the hour when che saw, as,I
loved, and welded the painter. He, pas.
sionate, studious, anstere, and having al
ready bride in his art she maiden of
rarest beauty, and. mot more lovely than
full of glse, all light and smiles. and fro
Iieksome as the young fawn, loving and
cherishing all things; hating only the art
which was her rival; dreading only the
pallet ard brushes and other untoward ill.,
struments which deprived her Of the cour-
tenance of her lover. 1t was .hus oer
r'bae thing for this lady to hear the s.inj.r
speak. Of his desire to po'trsy even his
young bride. But she ,was humble and
obedtent, and sat meekly for many weeks
10 the dark, high-turret chamber, where the
light dr'ppled upon the pale canvass only
from overhead. But he. the painter, took
glory IN bis work, went on from hour 70
hour, and from day to day. And he was
q passionate, and wild, and moody man,
w6o became lost in reveries. SO that he.
would not see that the light which fell 60
ghastly in that lone turret withered the
health and the spirit. OF his bride, whe
p'ned visibly to all but him.
Yet she pined on, ard still on, unco,;
pIainlng!y. because tina, the painte, (wto
had high renowp) took p iervid AID hur...

wished all this done that might reeiep
myself if not 10 sleep, at least alternately
to the contemplation Of these pictures. and
to the perusal Of a small volume which
had been found upon the pillow, and
which purperted to criticise and describe
them.
Long, long I read and devoutly I gazed.
Rapid and glorious the hours flew BY, and
the deep midnight ghtcame-thousht to make
sure that my vision had not deceived me-

sober and more certain gaze. In very
few. moments again looked more fxedly
at the painting.

I would not doubt, for the first flashing Of
the candles upon that canvass had seemed

at once into waking life.

Before leaving he went to his room, where his
wife was lying III, and having changed some Of
his olothes, went to her trunk, apparently in
search Of something. She thought nothing Of
this, and as he was leaving, being asked where
he was going, replied that he was going out with
a gentleman to- look OF some property, and told
her " he was not back to dinner, not to worry
about him. She remained ignorant Of his guilt
until that evening, when II was made known to
her by a friend. Upon examining her trunk she
