Do not leave me in this miserable obscurity
forever"
Lift the veil but once and look me in the
face" said she.
Never! 1t cannot be-" replied Mr.. Hooper
Then FAREWELL" said Elizabeth
She withdrew her arm from his grasp and
slowly departed, pausing at the door to give
one long shuddering gaze that seemed almost
to penetrate the mystery of the black veil But
even amid his grief Mr.. Hooper smiled to think
that only material emblem had separated him
from happiness, though the horrors which is
Swallowed forth must be drawn darkly between
the fOndest lovers.
From that time no attempts were made TO
remove Mr.. Hooper's black veil or by direct
appeal to discover the secret which it was sup
posed to hide. By persons who claimed a SUI
peror to popular prejudice it was reckoned
merely an eccentric within, such as often min
giles with the sober actions of men otherwise
rational and tnges them all with its own sem
blance of insanity. But with the multtudes
good Mr. Hooper was irreparably a bugbear.
He could not walk the streets with any peace
of mind, so conscious was he that the gentle
and timid would turn aside to avoid him and
that others would make it a point of hardi-
hood to throw themselves in his way. The
impertinence of the latter class compelled him
to give up his customary walk at sunset to the
burial ground; for when he leaned pensively on
the gait there would always be faces behind
the gravestones peeping at his black veil. A
fable went the rounds that the stare of the
dead people drove him thence. 1t grieved him
to the very depth of his kind heart to observe
how the children fed from his approach, break
ing up their merriest sports while his melan-
choly figure was yet afar off Their instructive
dread caused him to feel more strongly than
aught else that the preternatural horror was
interviewer with the threads of the black crepe.
In truth, his antipathy to the veil was
known to be so great that he never willingly
passed before mirror nor stopped to drink at
a still fountain lest in its peaceful bosom he
should be affrighted by himself This was what
gave FEASIBILITY to the whispers that Mr..
Hooper's conscience tortured him for some
great crime, too horrible to be entirely con-
ceaed otherwise than obscurely init
mated. Thus, from beneath the black veil,
there rolled a cloud into the sunshine, an am
biguity of sin or sorrow, which enveloped the
poor minister, so that love or sympathy could
never reach him 1t was said that ghost and
iend consorted with him there. With self
shuddering and outward terrors he walked
continually in its shadow, cropping daTkly with
in his own soul or gazing through a medium
that saddened the whole world. Even the law

less wind, it was believed, respected his dread
full secret and never blew aside the veil But
still good Mr.. Hooper sadly smiled at the pale
visages of the worldly throng as he passed by.
Among all its bad influences the black veil
had the one desirable effect of making its
wearer a very efficient clergyman. By the aid
of his mysterious emblem--for there was no
other apparent cause-he became a man of
awful power over souls that we're in agony for
sin. His converts always regarded him with
a dread peculiar to themselves, affirming,
though but figuratively, that before he brought
them to celestial light, they had been with him
behind the black veil. Its gloom, indeed, en-
abled him to sympathize with all dark affec-
lions. Dying sinners cried aloud for Mr.. Hoop
er and would not yield their breath until he
appeared, though ever, as he stopped to whis-
per consolation, they shuddered at the yelled
face so near their own. Such were the ter
rors of the black veil, even when Death had
barred his visage. Strangers came long dis
tances to attend service at his church with the
mere idle purpose of gazing at his figure be-
cause it was forbidden them TO behold his face.
But many were made to quake ere they de.
parted. Once, during Governor Belchers ad-
ministration, Mr.. Hooper was appointed to
preach the election sermon. Covered with his
black veil, he stood before the chief magiS-
wrought so deep an impression that the legis-
lative measures that year were characterized
by all the gloom and piety of our earliest an
Cestral sway.
In his manner Mr. Hooper spent long life,
irreproachable in outward act, yet shrouded in
dismal suspicion; kind and loving, though I'M
loved and dimly feared; a man apart from
men, Stunned in their health and joy, but ever
summoned to their aid in mortal anguish
AS the years wore on, shedding their SHOWS
above his sable veil, he acquired a name
throughout the New England churches and
they called him Father Hooper. Nearly all his
parishioners who were of mature age when he
was settled had been borne away by many a
funeral he had one congregation in the church
and a more crowded one in the graveyard and
having wrought late into the evening and
done his work so well, it was now good Father
HOopers turn to rest.
Several persons were visible by the shaded
candle light in the death chamber of the old
clergyman Natural connections he had none
But there was the decorously grave though
unmoved physician, seeking only to mitigate
the last pangs of the patient whom he could
not save. There were the deacons and other
eminently pious members of his church There
also, was the Rev. Mr.. Clark of Westbury
young and Jealous divine who had ridden in

the young lady. Take away the veil from
them, at least"
Elizabeth, | WILL" said he, 80 far as my
vow may suffer me. Know. then. this veil is a
type and a symbol and am bound to wear it
ever, both in light and darkness, in solitude and
before the gaze of multitudes and as with
strangers, so with my familiar. friends No
mortal eyes will see it withdrawn. This dismal
shade must separate me from the world; even
you, Elizabeth, never come behind it,"
What grievous afliction hath befallen
you?" she earnestly inquired. that you should
thus darken your eyes forever?"
IF It be a sign of mourning" replied Mr.
Hooper, Il perhaps, like most other mortals,
have sorrows dark enough to be typiied by a
black veil"
But what il the world will not believe that
it is the type of an innocent sorrow?" urged
Elizabeth. Beloved and respected as you are,
there may be whispers that you hide your face
under the consciousness of secret sin. For the
sake of your holy office do away this scandal"
The color rose in her cheeks as she init
mated the nature of the rumors that were
already abroad in the village. But Mr.. Hoop
ers mildness did not fOrsake him. He even
smiled agan-that same, sad smile which al
ways appeared like a faint glimmering of light
proceeding from the obscurity beneath the veil.
IF hide my face for sorrow, there is cause
enough" he merely replied; and if l cover it
for secret sin. what mortal might not do the
same?" And with this gentle but unconquer-
able obstinacy did he resist all her entreaties.
At length Elizabeth sat silent. For a few
moments she appeared lost in thought,
sidering, probably, what new methods might
be tried to withdraw her lover from so dark a
fantasy, which, IL 1t had no other meaning
was perhaps a symptom of mental disease.
Though of firmer character than his own, the
tears rolled down her cheeks. But in an in
slant, as it were, new feeling took the place
of sorrow; her eyes were fixed insensibly on
the black veil, when, like a sudden twilight in
the air, It's terrors fell around her. She arose
and stood trembling before him.
And do you feel it, then, at last?" said
he mournfully.
She made no reply, but covered her eyes
with her hand and turned to leave the room.
He rushed forward and caught her arm.
"Have patience with me, Elizabeth" cried
he, passionately. DO not desert me, though
this veil must be between us here on earth.
Be mine, and hereafter there shall be no veil
over my face, no darkness between our souls.
1t is but mortal veil; it is not for eternity.
Oh, you know not how lonely am, and how
frightened to be alone behind my black veil
