l didn't marry Mr.. Gordon. He had
wooed me with dolls and sugar plums
while was mere baby, and his de-
votions were apparent to the most
careless. Even Bert, my own Bert, had
occasional spasms of jealousy, aud in
our last conversation had said, implor-
ingly:
You'll give me a fair chance, Bes-
sic? You won't marry Gordon?"
And l solemnly promised never to
marry Charles Gordon.

But he has sent me a Christmas card

"How jolly" said Lizzie. "And is
that his ring?"
"Yes; we each had one made to or

on the reverse side our initials en-

How romantic!" said Lizzie.

said, with perfect good humor; but,
Bessie, if there is another can't /

marry him if | had never heard OF an
other"
But, after all, it was rather mortify-
ing to my vanity to see how readily she
could make my lifelong lover her slave.
She was so pretty, and her mourning
was the merest pretense-just enough
black to set off her dazzling complex
ion, and she knew well the power OF
beauty. Then her childlike, innocent
ways were attractive to the elderly

very busy, and only at night could l
let my sorrow have its way. How
much | had loved, how perfectly | had
trusted Herbert, l learned in those
days, when all my love and trust
seemed thrust back upon my own
heart. The last drop was added to my
cup of misery the very day before
Lizzie's wedding Father came home
earlier than usual, and came to my
room.

could not speak the cruel words.
Herbert Wilson has come back, my
dear, and taken partnership in the
firm for which he has been travelling
agent for two years He had legacy,
not very large, but sufficient, with his
own value to the firm, to give him a
place. He knows, my dear, that only

take care of wife, aud he should have

dear father, and gave me such caress-

have done. had my cry out on his
breast, and then l faced the truth, and
knew l never could be utterly mis-

We agreed to say nothing to Lizzie,
and l dressed her myself to go to
church, thinking no fairer bride had
ever been seen, nor.one that was more
carelessly entering upon the new, SOL
emn duties before her She chartered
with the pretty cluster Of girls who
were to be her bridesmaids, and was
the brightest of them all When we
drove up to the church door, we found
Mr.. Gordon awaiting us, and after
some futtering of lace and flowers in
the vestry room, the bridal procession
sailed up the broad aisle, Lizzie on
papa's arm and Mr. Gordon escorting
his married sister.

The stone from the tomb Of the ages is rolled,
The chains Of mortality broken, behold!
Let me rise, let me rise on the wings OF the

And in antlphones new with the angels unite;
The dumb tomb has spoken and falls on our

The song Of the morning that gladdens the

The skies are all glowing untettered the rills;
The flowers Of the south winds are lighting the
hills
But what were the glOries Of spring times that
fade
If the dead in the chamber Of silence we're
laid
Arise, then my soul, on the wings Of the
light;
Thy songs with the messenger angels unite:
The dumb tomb has spoken! mortality hears
The song Of the morning that gladdens the
spheresl
Celestial doors Oren, and falls on faiths ear
An anthem as sweet as the reeds Of Judea,
Nov rising triumphant, the chorus Of time,
And the bells Of the blessed conjubilant
chime
Arise, Omy soul, on the wings Of the light,
In the songs Of the Cross with the victors
unite;
The dumb tomb has spoken, mortality hears
The song Of the morning that gladdens the
spheres
The Cross CLEANS above US, below smile the
flowers,
The tomb is a chamber of heavenly dowers,
New life CLOVIS within U.s. and it will not be
long
That our Dsalmswe shall sing in these prisons of

Arise, then arise on the wings Of the light
With the skies singing DER US in chorus

The dumb tomb has spoken, and falls on our
ears
The song Of the morning that gladdens the
