from her this prince of her soul. VIII,
not? 1t had taken men as much be
loved, as much honored. and as mucl
lamented. Why would il not jealous
ly snatch him into the gray grave
Had those sullen waves relented an,
since the noble form of her father haC
been buried there? Would they dea
more leniently with her than they had
with her fair, winsome mother? Sht
had no reason to believe it. Not the
slightest foundation for her most feet
ing hope. A gray pallor settled on
her face, and steady, troubled look
burned in the liquid eyes. Horace
noticed the little start she gave when
Ruth spoke of missing him. He had
known for a long time that Willis
loved him; not from any plain proof
had he drawn his conclusion. but love
is instructive, and her beautiful eyes
often followed him with tender, visit
ful look. Ali did he return the love
ofthis proud young creature? Readsr.
descend with me in fancy to the portals
of his heart, and gaze on Willis image
there. In the marvellous lights of
truth, fidelity and fervent love she is
enshrined. He had weighed her in
his uuerring scales of justice, and found
her wanting in one thing only, and that
was religion. He had labored faith
fully to win her from her miserable
belief, but he knew unless she was
clearly convinced of the truth of a
theory she would never accept it. So
she still fingered in the grim shadow
of doubt. Hitherto the Doctor had
met with no success in his arduous
undertaking of convincing Willis. She
was still disciple of speculation, a
follower of nothing. She well knew
that DIR. Hays would never wed an
Atheist. But could she sell the truth
to win his love? Could she go to the
altar, protesting his faith, when deep
in her heart she denounced il as null.
No. neverl She would not sacrifice
her principle to gain the world. He
was thinking of her thus: Sometime
in the future, he knew that an intellect
like Willis possessed would be brought
to acknowledge the existence CT God.
Should he undertake the Herculean
task OF convincing her of right? He
shrank from reformation that SEEM
ed so far adown the vista of uncertain
ty. Should he hang the wealth of his
life's great love on this skeptical
thread, with so many dark doubts as
to its ever strengthening? OH no !;
he must wait and pray without ceas-
ing. As much as he loved her, he
feared the result of union. He now
determined to leave her, to go far away
to distant lands and live a miserable,
dissatisfied man. Aye, it is better
thus, than to live $50 near, and yet so
far" mingling around one common
hearta-stoDe with mountains of dis
trust between them. Twas the dark
moment of his life when he made the
decision to go out from her presence.
To depart and leave her with her
fallacious belief, and the swift coming
retribution. Aye. perhaps she might
go down into the Gale of SHADOWS be-
fore his eyes would again rest on her,
and the compensation of the unright-
eous be meted out to her unsparingly
Oh ! God, have pity.
