Slowly the shades of NIGHT fell around
tbe cottaoe Softly tbe kind.haarted
neipbbors nessad mn ond down tho nar-
row staircase ministar;no fret to the
dead. and then turning aside 70 weep as
they looked upon .the bowed man. who
with his head upon the window sill still
sat lust as he did when they told him she
was dead. At his feet on little stool
was Jenny. pressing his hands and COW
erinp them with the tears she for his
sake tried in vain TO renress.
At last, when it was dark without, and
lights were burning unon the table there
was sonnd of some one at tbe gate
and in moment Henry stepped across
the threshold. but started and turned
pale when he saw his mother in violent
Mysteries upon the lounge, and Mary
Howard bathing her head and trying to
soothe her. Before he had time to ask
a question, Jenny's arms were wound
around his neck, and she whispered,
Rose is dead. Why were you so late?"
He could not answer. He had nothing
to say, and mechanically following his
sister he entered the room where Rose
had died. Very beautiful had she been
in life, and now, far more beautiful in
death, she looked like a piece of sculp-
tured marble, as she lay there SO cold
and still, and all unconscious Of the scald-
ing tears which fell upon her face as
Henry bent over her, kissing her lips and
calling upon her to awake and speak to
him once more.
When she thought he could bear it
Jenny told him of all Rose had said, and
by the side of her coffin, with his hand
resting upon her white forehead, the con-
science stricken young man swore that
never again should ardent spirits of any
kind pass his lips, and the father, who
stood by and heard that VOW, felt that If
it were kept, his daughter had not died
in vain.
