unhesitatingly went, after dark. where he
would not dare to go himself. The place to
which he alluded was q certain portion of
the mansion which was said TO be haunted
by q ghost, known as the dark lady. "
Many were the frightful stories told me of
this ghost, but Emily seemed to have no fear
of her. Indeed, the people about the place
were possessed of the notion that Emily was
on quite familiar terms with her ghostship.
Notwithstanding Emily's GOODNESS and
courage, she seemed at times to be unhappy.
She grew pale. and often cried at night
as she lay beside me. One day we sat to-
gether in our room, when we heard the
well;known step of her uncle approaching
the door.
Save mech, save me !" she exclaimed.

Before I could inquire what frightened her
her uncle crashed open the door and stood
before us like an embodied thunderbolt. He

There was no answer at first, and the ques-
ton was repeated. At last she threw herself
at his feet and confessed that she had met
Charles Matson frequently in the graveyard.
She told how deeply she had regretted the
long standing feud between the two families,
how good and true Charles was and how very
much she had loved him.
Godfrey Romeyn seemed to be suffocating.
He tore of his cravat and acted like a mad
man, until she chung to him and pleaded for
forgiveness, Att last he flung her from him,
reproached her for the bread she had eaten
at his table and heaped odium upon the men,

Emily's nature was rather retiring and affec-

and we could hear him pacing the room at
intervals. Poor Emily sobbed in my arms,
the momentary courage Of the stormy inter-
view having completely deserted her.

to meet Charles at dusk in the graveyard,
that having been chosen on account of its

Emily did not wait long before the arm Of

1T STOPS THE PAIN.

Emily's uncle was a dark, stern man Of an
exceedingly violent temper. Men are natu-
rally wilful. but Godfrey Romeyn was es-
p~ecially SO. He was extremely selfish as we'll,
and so tyrannical as to be a petty despot in
his own house. He never bestowed a
a kind word, or a word of any sort, upon
either Emily or me.
Emily used to say 1T is 80 hard trying
to love him-he will not let me do it,"
Godfrey would never suffer people to be
happy except in his own way. He had never
married, and he vowed that Emily never
should. She already had, 80 he said, as much
enjoyment as he had-she bad q mansion to
live in. splendid dresses to wear, and every
rational pleasure at her command. He be-
lievedthat such another uncle as he never
had, and never would, exist in the. world.
Emily was not, prevented from seeing the
gentlemen friends who frequently Wis
tied her uncle; but she was never al

self. Mr.. Romeyn fancied that by closing
her lips, he closed her heart; and no boosted
