Ey Colo mel Daniel, of the British
Colstream Guards, who lately died in
London, had for several years strange
idnIatry, which originated in grief at
the death of his son. Before the youth
was buried the Colonel had made a
wax model of him, which he kept in an
oratory fitted mp in his house. He Wis
tied this place every day, aud thus he
kept his grief in force. He continued
in society however, and few were
aware of the remarkable expression of
his sorrow.

DEAR Miss SYLAFA.-It is a pain
full duty that is imposed upon me by
the sudden alteration of mind of
your cousin Lyra.
senor Escoriaza left here yesterday
by your commands; he intended to
cross the river on horseback and take
the stage beyond; but the late violent
storm had carried away the bridge,
and in his haste he attempted the
Dangerous Ford" The stream was
swollen, the current strong and wild,
the horse unmanageable and no help
near. Your unfortunate cousin saw
it aD-the plunge, the rear, the strug-
Cling, the fatal victory of the hungry
tide, which threw him at her feet,
bruised and bufeted, dead and drown
ed. Since which event her reason is
shaken sorely, and she laughs and
talks wildly, while he lies bland and
beautiful before her; wonders when
he will return, and hastens to meet
him hourly.
will send my brother to bring
you; and I am, yours obediently,
JOHN EARLswoRTHY.

The gods sell all things at a fair
price, it is said; but surely this sum-
mer's sunshine has cost me dear.
So my letter must have crossed
yours on the road. Had you read that
first, l wonder would you have writ
ten this which I found in Escoriaza' s
hands an hour ago? He meant to be
heroic for my sake, but I surprised
him-1 would not suffer it. I. saw
that in his face which his act would
deny. He loves you best, since for
me he would sacrifice you and himself
together. It was vain to contend with
Fate.
'Your time is Short" I said, I'll
you linger beyond the day she has
fixed to receive you, she refuses to
see your face. Go quickly. You be-
long to her. Good-by! I have done
without you for twenty years-I can
badly miss you now. The fancy of a
summer dies easily-good-by!'
And even at this moment the ring
Of his horses hoofs sounds woefully
in my ears.
Can I forgive you?
My God! I forgot; the storm has
swept away the bridge. Will he try
the Dangerous Ford? Have I
sent him to meet Death instead of
you? Have you summoned him
thus?

THE PROPOSAL.

Imet her in the quiet lane
One Sabbath morning early;
The sun was bright although the rain
Still glittered ON the barley.
The lark was singing to his mate,
The wild bells chimed their warning,
We paused awhile outside the gate;
We fingered until it was too late
To go to church that morning.
Again we met. The whispering leaves
Glanced nigh in night and shadow,
The reapers piled the yellow sheaves;
The bees hummed DER the meadow.
The royal sun rose up in state,
Our marriage day adorning;
The bells rang out; wide stood the gate,
And neither Of us was too late
To go to church Mat morning.
