The Girls Laughter
In the village cemetery; beautifed by
its white and yellow flowers and gilded
by the rays Of setting sun, saw a
most beautiful girl of about 6 laugh
ing like one bereft, with her eyes fixed
upon one of the slabs of tomb.
What disagreeable sensation I ex-
perfenced on seeing her thus laugh!
Such merriment, contrasting with the
sadness that prevailed where so many
beings reposed in eternal slumber. was
unnatural
I drew near, and in a tone of re-
preach said to her:
Beautiful child. you would not thus
laugh had you loved or even known the
hapless being resting beneath these
stones"
And she, looking at me with aston
iShment, exclaimed:
know him! Holy Virginl Why, he
was my loveri We would have mar
ried. I had no joys which he did not
share! My thoughts were his; his
hopes were mine. When his hearts
beats ceased, 1 felt that Death cried
unto me: Come, comet"
why do you laugh, then?' I re-
piled, subdued by the melancholy look
of her eyes and by the sincere ring to
her words.
why do I laugh, indeed? Holy
Virgin! To give him pleasure!4 When
he lived and we were sweethearts his
greatest joy was to see me happy. No
music pleased him more than my
laughter. Can not you compreh end
how great would be his suffering did
he but feel that 1 wept upon his
grave ?"-Transatlantic Tales.
