but he never gave me an opportunity. If
/ approached the subject, he turned the
subject in another direction, and my old
habit Of submission to him prevented me
from going on. Then came my wedding
day. Stephen gave me away, and sat By

Scarcely understanding what he said,
bade him good bye, and it was not until
my husband asked me what it meant that
remembered his strange look and accent.
I then felt half frightened about him; but
the novelty of my first visit abroad made
me forget my fears.
The rest is soon told. The Rrst letter !
received from England said that on the
very morning after my marriage he had
been found dead and cold in his bed. He
had died without pain, the doctor said,
with his right hand clasping his left arm
above the wrist, and holding firmly, even
in death, circlet Of 4arian's hair.

TWO LIVES In ONE.

More than fifty years ago my brother
Stephen and lived together in a village
about ten miles south of London, where
he was in practice as surgeon. Stephen
was thirty two, / eighteen. We had no
relations but a sister, five or six years older
than myself, and well married in London.
Stephen was a solitary and studious man,
living somewhat apart from Lis neighbors,
and standing almost in fatherly position
towards me. Through the years we had
lived together no one had thought of his
marrying. Thus it was when the events
have to tell began. The house next to Us
was taken by q Mr.. Cameron, q feeble
looking man, rather pest middle age, with
one daughter, Marian by name. How
shall l describe her, the most beautiful
creature I ever SAW She was perhaps
twenty years old; never knew precisely.
A tall, slight form, fair complexion, dark
chestnut eyes and hair, and an expression
more like that of an angel than human
being. Though l was much struck with
her appearance, Stephen did not seem to
notice it; and we might have remained
unaoquainted with them forever, but that
he was required to help Mr.. Oameran over
an awkward stile opposite our house. Ac-
auaintanoe once made, they soon grew
familiar, for they had two feelings in COM
mon, love of tobacco and Swedenbor-
gianism. Many q summer evening did
they pass, smoking tae one and talking
the other, Marian sometimes joining in,
for she generally walked with them, while
my chest, which was weak at that time,
kept me at home. One day they Quilted
Stephen at the gate, and as he entered the
door said to him:
"How lovely Marian is! am never
tired of looking at her."
"Look at her while you may" he said;
"she has not three years to live."
1t was only too true. She had some
dreadful complaint think it
was-which must carry her otfin the flower
OF her days. Stephen told me that he had
consulted the most eminent doctors with
out getting any hope; and the emotion,
rare enough in him, that he displayed,
told me that he loved Marian. I said no
word to him about it, I knew better; but
saw with what dreadful doubts he was
Perplexed. Excitement might shorten
Mar'sn's life-such an excitement as a
declaration of love from him might be of
material injury; and even if it did not
prove 80, how could he condemn himself
20 tne Prolonged torture of seeing the life
OF beloved wife ebb away, day by day
!, that had watched her ceaselessly, knew
that she loved him with her whole heart.
He struggled with himself fercely; but he
won tine fight. He left home for six weeks
and returned, looking older and mailer.
but he had learned 10 mention her mama
without bis voice quivering, and to touob
her hand without holding his breath hard
She Was pining away under the influence

IN THK GARDEN.

Green grass beneath, green leaves above,
That rustic like o running stream,
And sunshine that with tender gleam
Touches the little heads love.
The little heads, the dewy eyes,
That shine and smile through sun and
That are my portion and my dover,
Nv sum of wealth beneath the Skies
The white dove Hutters on tho wall,
Amid the rose trees crimson pride;
The small house opes its windows wide,
Fearless whatever may befau
Whate'er befalls-oh. instinct strong
Of this strange life, 80 sad and dear,
That still foresoes some coming fear
And of Its joy still asks-how long?
I sit and rest from all my woe,
Peace in the air, light in the sky:
Here let me rest until die,
Nor further pain nor pleasure know.
Half in the teader greeusward round,
And halt on me a. here l rest,
Ny nestlings restle in their nest,
With ftful arms about me wound;
The while read-and smile to see
My boys eye light with CLEANS of war-
How the plumed helmet of Navarro
Set bleeding France at Ivry free;
Or in my little maidens face,
At hearing of Lord Burleigh's bride,
Hnd how he loved, and how she died,
A glow of softer radiance trace:
While the small brother pauses Oft.
In babble half as sweet to hear,
The meaning lies beyond his ear.
But sweet the music chimes and soft.
If there be any cloud that glides
Unseen above this quiet spot,
Dear Lord, thank Thee know not
What still in Thy good hand abides.
But while the peaceful moments last,
snatch this hour, unstained by tears,
Out of my stormy tale of years,
To charm the future and the past.
For grief dwells long, a lingering guest,
And writes her records in the pain,
But gladness comes and goes again
With noiseless steps that viii not rest.
And here memorial glad raise.
How on one joyous day In June,
Through all the sunny afternoon,
Sang birds and babes unconscious praise.

 The Notes of this Third Series are precisely similar in form and privileges to the Seven. Ihllties already sold, except that the Govern. ment reserves to itself the option of pa ing in. terest in gold coin at 6 per cent, instead of ! g. oths in currency. Subscribers will deduct the interest in currency up to July 18th, at the time when they subscribe. The delivery of the notes of this third series of the sevcn-thirties will commence on the lst ofJune, and will be made promptly and oou- tinuously after that date.
 The slight change made in the conditions of this THIRD SERIES effects only the matter of interest. The payment in gold. if made, will be equivalent to the currency interest of the higher rate.
 The return to specie payments. in the event of which only will the option to pay interest In Gold be availed of, would SO reduce and equal. ize prices that purchases made with six per cent in gold would pc fully equal to those made with seven and thrse-tenths per cent. in cur. rency. This is
