With her parents Kate came to Mil

of little importance to our readers wheih-

her. and settled down and prospered--
For some months every steamer bropght
a letter from the young Casper to Kate,
saying that he was naarly ready to leave,
and in few weeks at most should be in
Milwaukee to clasp the hand Of her he
loved more andj more every day Of his
lie. Suddenly, the letters ceased com
ing, and not a word was heard of or from
the lover.
Now, it is preposteIous to suppose that
pretty young sirl like Kate should re-
main long without lovers. Kate thought
Of Casper, and kept them off for four
years, but herring nothing from Casper,
and believing him dead, or what was
worse, fai;hless, when the right man and
the right tine came, she yielded Ike a
good girl, and gave the love which she
had been saving for Casper to another,
After a few years OF happy welded
life, the dask day came and Kate was a
widow.
During her happy married life she had
in great measure forgotten Casper ana
the early love, hut one day, while sitting
buried in thought over her lost husband,
peculiar sensation seemed to pierce her
heart, aud she felt all her old love for
Casper come back as fresh and as earnest
as it was when the two parted at Ham
berg years before. She could not ex-
plain it, other than one Of those myste
ries, which are, as yet, unexplained, de-
aoting the presence Of two souls with
but a single thought"
For several days the strange feeling
kept possession of her breast. She said
nothing, but thought good deal. One
day -he picked cp a copy of the See
Bote, and as her eyes ran earelessly over
the German list Of letters, she met

) it was that Of Casper. The name thus
passed before her seemed TO add more fuel
to the fame raging in her bosom.
Her impatient spirit would listen to no
further delay. At once inquiry was pros
ecuted among her German friends. One

his home in Germany only a year before
aud had been vainly searching through
out the West for some lost friend. His
face wore a deep, thoughtful look, as If
there had been grief mixed with his his
tory, and indeed the friend had often
heard Casper speak OF some bright angel
which had left him years before, and
Was now lost to him forever. He was
single, tuo. She had heard him DECLARE
that having lost her, he should never
marry.
How peer Kate's hoart 5onndcd now.

All, she had but to see him-to talk |

return, and burn as hers was now burn

The thought made her impatient. She
would surprise Casper. While he thought

wo2ld appear before him, and win him
back to a new and stronger desire to live
for her. The friend assisted and behold
Kate, her heart futtering furiously, yet
light and happy withal, as she stood on
the threshold Of Casper's door. Lightly
she entered the apartment. lie sat at the
table-his back towards her, his face
buried in his hands, and Kate heard

nermost recesses Of his heart

for NE. He has been SO true-so deyo,ad
all these long years."
She stepped up and lightly touched
him on the shoulder. The nan, surpris-
