FORGED APART
By W. CLARK RUSSELL dotno'' of tue "Wreck of the Grosren1r," A Sailo1's S,Ueetheart," Etc.

She went out, and on the stairs she saw her mother, who for despair could only beckon or toss her hands. She followed Mrs. Strangf1eld upstairs, with a creeping chill over her limbs, and the sensation of a thousand quivering fibers in her body.
 In the bedroom near the bed were two figures whom she could not immediately dis tinguish for the feeble light in the chamber; but she speedily found that one was Mrs Mead and the other the doctor.
 Both figures drew away when mother and daughter came into the room Mrs. Strang- field went to the bedside, and, bending over the motionless form upon it, said, in whis per of exquisite sadness:
 "Michael, Jenny is here. Wilt thou speak to herW
 For some moments there was no answer. At last, in faint, hoarse murmur, the dying man said:
 "Let her take my hand and kiss me. Jane, thee knowest that cannot move"
 The girl went to her father, and put her hand into his and kissed his forehead.
 "Jenny, my little one," he murmured, "thee
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-05-25

':Jen1ay m,y little one," he maatrn1ured~ didst wrong to trick me. Of old did the prophet chide, saying, And thou saidst, shall be a lady forever; so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it. 3s1t thy punishment has been sore, my poor one By thee am l condemned, whom condemned. I was a liar for speaking what, in my wrath, believed the truth; and it did nearly break thy heart, poor wench, as mine is brolken!"
 No pathos the meaning of his words had could equal the deeply moving effect given to them by his speaking with his head turned away, all power lost, life ebbing from him as surely as the shadows cast by the sun were slowly circling to the east, whence darkness comes. She hung over him with dFy eyes, for the grief in her was too deep for tears.
 Father, she whispered, "I wronged thee by loving secretly; but has not my husbands going wrung my Aeart with punishment enoughs Truly, I was innocent of worse sin than deceit; and now that you know am innocent, and bear with my kisses, I could be happy to die."
 No answer did he return, and he began to breathe heavily; on which the doctor came gently to her, and would have led her from the bed; but the father had grip of her hand, and she would not disengage his hold.
 Said the mother. in feeble whisper:
 "Is there no hope?"
 The doctor shook his head, and let his chin fall on his breast, and stood quiet, with his hands clasped.
 No more was said.
 What was killing him, God knows! Not paralysis only, nor yet broken heart. Yet visibly was he dying, and the difficult breath grew slower and weaker; and within an hour from Jenny's return to her home the breath in him was gone and the body grow ing cold. He passed away amid deep still ness in the room; and Jenny herself, who was hear him, knew not that he was dead, until a strangeness in the hold of his fingers made her shriek out.
 Thus did it come about; and the mother and daughter wept in each others arms while the doctor glided noiselessly from the house, and Mrs Mead tenderly closed the dead mans eyes, and yelled the marble silence of his face.
