upon me. Midway | met my mother,

heavy snow. She was painting for

and woe-begone, but / had no pity for
her-indeed, no feeling whatever with
respect to her. / was absorbed in my
own grief and amazement at this UNI
expected shattering Of my cherished
hopes. took her arm, and led her back
to her home. No word passed between
us on the way. She glanced up at me
many times timidly, pityingly, implor-
ingly; but II her features had been
carved In stone, her entreatlng looks
could not have made less impression
upon me. How bleak and drear the
night had grown! The wind chilled me
to the marrow, and l trod the white
snow with sullen steps. 1t suited my
mood to tear and deface 1t as | walked.
What beauty for me was there now in
the unstained carpet? took savage
pleasure In marring its purity, and l
dragged my feet through 1t vindictive-
ly, as though 1t were my enemy, and
could feel the wounds was inaictlng
upon 1t. In this way, and in perfect ST.
lence, we reached the cottage Of shells.
"Sit there" ! said, sternly, to my
mother, pointing to chair.
She sat down obediently.

me everything plainly, and let no ten
derness for me induce you to put a false
color upon what you have to say, and l
must hear Speak the truth without
reservation. as you would on your death
bed. If you value my love, do exact
ly as | bid you"
| turned my face from her, and stood
thus while she told her story keeping a
strong restraint upon myself, steeling
myself, as 1t might be, and speaking
only necessary words, though it was
hard to do; but you who have sustained
heart-shocks will understand my feel
ings and what torture endured during
the recital.
