CANAAN CONN, THURSDAY,
It's after e:so, and you've scarce an

hour"
 Colonel Pember turned and walked hastily along the road. "Married-mar- ried-then am too late. Perhaps not. I don't understand it. I can't" And with every step he took came the re- frain," Married, married, married"
 The next day Densmond was all ex- citement. The daughter of the Hon. Crofton Burton had refused at the last moment to marry Lord Lorloose Littel. And then, too, the appearance of this suspicious looking American. That must not be overlooked. Surely there was something in this, eff these as knew would tell" But the Eon. Burton, M. F.. would tell nothing, and as Lord Lit tel had left for town that morning he could tell nothing, and Miss Burton, she had declared that she would tell noth- ing. So there the matter rested, and like every other sensation was almost forgotten 10 days after.
 Almost, say, for Colonel Pember had taken lodgings at the Pot and Kettle, and scarcely day passed but he made his way to The Oaks, the residence of Mir. Burton, who seemed to have great fancy for his company.
 Nor was it long in becoming common talk that the colonel had returned to Miss Burton on the eve of her intended wedding blood stained miniature, the token of schoolgirl love that she had given to Herbert Creston, the village ne'er do we'll, and that as she saw the picture, stained with his hfeblood, the old love had returned, and she had re- fused to marry any one else.
 So passed year, and again summer visited the little village, sprinkling the lawns with yellow dandelions and the hedges with all manner of sweetness. From the many farmyards came the sounds of cattle and of fowls upon the clear and silent air, mingled with the distant dashing of brooks. The trees, resplendent in their garments of green" !" cast grateful shadows for the monday wanderer. And then the gardensl Roses everywhere. The air was one mass of perfume, delightful and overpowering, the first sweet gift of summer.
 During this time Miss Burton had not been seen by the village folk. save on one or two rare occasions, and those who had
 
 viewed her reported that she was looking pale and sickly, and that she scarcely ever spoke. Now, however, at the approach of summer she had thrown off her gloomy aspect, laid aside the 'inly cloak" that she had insisted upon wear ing and had even gone so far as to ride out into the country, and always with the colonel as companion.
 One night they walked together in the gardens that almost entirely surrounded The Oaks There was no other light than that of the stars. As Amelia paused the colonel placed his arm about her and held her hand.
 "You have my answer?'' he questioned softly.
 She raised her face slowly. Their lips met.
 "It is 'yesY" he asked.
 And she answered Yes"
 M
 Far away in the wilderness of Virginia the night winds gathered and whispered and murmured and muttered, and with their dark pinions brushed the bright cold drops of dew that chung to the blades of grass above the unmarked grave of Herbert Creston.-Exchange.

TO THE BELOVED.

Oh, not more subtly silence strays Amongst the winds, between the voices, Mingling alike with pensive lays
 And with the music that rejoices, Than thou art present in my days. My silence, life returns to thee In nll tho pauses of her breath; ;s' Hush back to rest the melody En That out of thee awakeneth. ss1 And then wake ever, wake for mo. Full, full Is life in hidden places,
 For thou art silence unto me. Full, full Is thought in endless spaces. FuH Is my life. A silent sea Lie2 round all shores with long embraces. Thou art like silence all unvexed,
 Though wild words part my soul from
 thee;
 Thou art like silence unperplexed,
 A secret and @ mystery Between one footfRll and the next. Most dear pause in a mellow lay.
 Thou art tnwoven with every air; With thee the widest tcmpests play, And snatches of thee everywhere Make little heavens throughout day. Darkness and solitude shine for me, For ife's fair outward part are rife The silver noises; let them be.
 It is the very soua of life Listens for thee, listens for thee. Oh, pause between tho sobs of caresl Oh, thought within all thought that Is, Trance between daughters unawaresl Thou art the form of melodies. And thou the ecstasy of prayers.
