! IIV CATI1ARI.NX lil' i Ti rt. I
It was a rainy errning in "etcher. The
penetrating, jiitiia, drops had tcaten, beat
en for two mcceeoiTa dava, until the hror.ro
of the oak., the gold of the tn a fie and
the fire of tho .jruacb had hien sMurated,
and the woodi wore a wet, lilVlc-s look
The darkneas fell early, fir the leadrn
clouds cut short the twilight, and night
dee'encd, rainy, rainy!
I eat in the parlor of the only hotel in a
Western village of I) . A cheerful fire
was Liurninr, and, withal there waa a home
look of eotufort reldom een io a public
room. I wai happily drr uming not dol
ing, but building ii-rial architectural won
dcra, and there ia nothing cosier than a
pleasant 6re, lifelesa bands and busy brain,
provided the heart be happy.
I had preferred sitting there becau.e the
rain-drops were troops of friend", every one
haviDg characterio fall, briskly beating
about on th planks, or tapping preetinirly
on the window-panes. 1 had arrived a day
loo early to take the stage for H ; and,
as the landlady was an ae.uaititanee, I was
not so restlessly impatient a some travelers
are at being delayed. I
The train arrived from the l"at at eight.
I heard, indistinctly, tbe unloadingof trunks
from the omu'bus. 1'rei.cntly the door
opened, and the waiter ushered a lady into
the room. :
I turned to look, as the door closed, and !
aw her disentangling the siring of her veil,1
all the while walking slowly toward the
fire. I was I. .If vexed at having my fan-'
cies broken in upon, and so seanued her'
closely to discover if I wa likely to be an-
noyed by her presence. I was struck, first
ly by her height, and next by a certain!
grace of motion, v. Inch is, as indicative of '
character. Her veil finally fell, and I was;
fairly startled by the deadly paleness of her
fsce. A few drops of water, wbi','b harl
fallen on her while alighting glistened upon '
her shawl and bonnet. I rose involuntari-1
ly aud offered her my rocking chair ; she !
looked full at nic ns I did so. The perfect!
pallor of her face, to contrast to a wavy I
tall of dark hair about the forehead and
dark, heavily nhaded eyes, was plainly!
seen, distinctly defining, as it did, the fine'
regularity of her features. Mie took on
her shawl and boDtirt hastily ; then I noticed
a graoe in the curve of her throat, and the
abundance and lustre of her hair.
Straightway my air-caatlcs fell, and my
busy fancy had a real, weired, euigtnatic.il
subject to work upon. fho sat there mo
tionless in the glow of the fire, wrapped as
it were, in many mysteries, the dreariest
and darkest one, sorrow, had given the
whiteness to her free and put mournitie;
robes upon her. 1 was without a grief. No
shadow of this result of sin had dimmed
the sunniest of my years, and therefore my
wonder was mixed with pity, uot with sym
pathy. She was a tragedy to wo, even at
that first glance a spirit eomc into my soli
tude from Ihe darkness of that rainy night
Presently tbe landlord came to hear
her wishes. " I must go to II to-night !"
j she said. He told her that the rain was in
creasing, that the roads had become impas
, sable and that early the next morning thu
! stage would go. It was not prudent, to say
' the least, and ho thought it difficult, evi n
I' for a large sum, to procure a trusty driver.
" Then, if not for money, for pity's sake !"
I, woman that I was, would have wonder
ed nt his indifference to her petition ; thro'
my iinpiilnivetieas I could not see his better
' semte. It was finally decided that she was
to remain.
! I dared not apeak to her, though I wish
ed to do so, while I sat looking intently at
i her for a full half hour. At la-t she arose
I to be rhownto her room, b'ho looked, at
i inc abstractedly, nnd then a softening stiiilo
! came over her as she said,
'Kxcuso tnc, I deprived you of your
! chair."
I for voice had a clear, egriuisitely modu
lated tone, and the sweet courtesy of her
manner brought tears into my eye, as tho
entire fotpetfulness of self in great trouble
is so touching and so seldom seen.
I resumed the rocking chair, and looking
into the fire, studied long aud unsatisfactorily
upon the rj'iestion, what deeds in life were
able to so transform and imbue the charac
ter with this rtrange amount of grief?
Her room was next to mine. Until late
I could hear her hteadily pacing back and
forth, while without, the rain, with a n-w
meaning in its pattering, beat fiercely and
ceaselessly.
Atousing from fitful dozes, in wl ic!) her
tauuting face assumed strange and somo
tin.es frightfu' forms, I stiil heard her walk
ing, slowly walking. I dreamed of her,
and awoke thinking I had only dreamed ;
for the steps were not heard in the adjoin
ing room.
The morning was cold, and thin, grey
clouds, through wLich a clear sky was vi.i
ble, swept over the heavens. The wind had
risen, and now swept in chilly gu-ts about the
house : and tho sunbeams, which eame half
reluctantly, seemed cold and cheerless. Af
ter breakfast I was sitting, bundled in furs
and shawls, awailiui; the stage, and wonder
ing about the strange la ly. At lat every
thing was in readiness. I a-ked if there
was not another lady to go to II .
" I have just been to her room, but there
was rio an-wer when I knocked," said the
waiter. The landlord went up nnd was as
unsuccessful. The door wa forced open, and
the fear that had been crecpiug in the
hearts of us all was terribly realized. She
lay quietly back on the bed, apparently no
j whiter than w hen I saw her the night before,
, but without tho heavily shaded gleam in
her eves, for she w as dead.
(if cuur.-e a physician was summoned, an
j cxamiuatiou made, and everything which
j coul.l throw light on the suhjeeticarchcl out.
The doctor suid she had died of disease of
tbe heart.
I Her gren' desire to go to II led t!;em
, to think is had friends there, and prepara
tions were being made to convey the hedy
, to that place.
! I frozen with horror. I could not over
come the desire 1 had to be where she was,
1 and to look at her teautiful face.
Ou one of her white, slender lingers was
a plain gold ring, and the landlady whis-
j ered that perhaps there might bo engrav
! ed x name or something which would as
sist them iu their search. It was taken elf,
saeiilege as it seemed, and this was found,
" Mauoarkt am Knwts," aud two hands
joined. I replaced it sadly. She seemed
clear to me as u friend, because her last
words, had been spoken tome so sweetly.
There wa cjn-idcrible exciteni'Mit, when
we arrived al U-. . but soon a.l wa made
clear ; the lady was identified not by nam",
but as being, for a short time, resident with
au old man, who lived iu a cottage on the
kill, lie was sent for, and cauio. With
calmness he ordered the body to be taken to
his bouse, courteously refusing all offers of
assistance.
The next morning, my friend? who had ,
related to me all they ktiew of the strauge
lady, proposed that we should call at the
cottage. H e were admitted when it was
made known I was with the lady so shortly
be'brc her death. The room was uuif- t
what dark, nnd I could jut distinguish upon
a ecfa the form of a body, and au old ma-.)
kneeling before it. As my eyes became
mnre accustomed t) the darkness, 1 saw
that his face, though expressing infinite sor
row, was calm.
He was lathing to her. " I forgive you
now, Margaret, you have atoned I tor
give you w holly." ,
Possibl;' be had not noticed our entrarc.". :
I went and stood beside him, and my poor j
heart seemed bursting. I feared my sor- (
row was intrusive, but 1 could not restrain
it. I wpt passionately, while his eyes wete
dry. 1 told him how I had seen In r, and ,
ho seemed moved, and, taking my haul,
in his, said, " Never sin like her, and y a
will ucver break an old Cither's heart 1" i
That, then, was the secret cf her pallor
and of her grief Stv 1 IVrhaps from lov
ing too well. Sorely tried, she had not
resisted: tempted, she had not i;h
stood temptation. I afterward learned
all. Her memory is pure and holy, tiiouh
her brief life was stained and .sorrowful.
Out of the ordeal of her anguish, out of
temptation and the reward ol ' iclding to it,
death led her, and, at the thr,sl,,.;.l of
another life, her earthly impe! f etions fell
front her, und the fair, sweet soul (none
other could Ir k from sue'.i eyes, rr - i .1. ,
with such voir.) claimed its kindred among
the redeemed.
I'o not th.au do likewise ! I'.ut look with
charity, as angels do, when beautiful hut
erring, fair but tarnished souls go from ree
titudu. CouJctuu uot, but atl them to
avoid sin.
Au accident occur rod on one of our rail
roads recently, caused by the axle of the
tender attachment giving way, detaiuing the
train several hours. A lady etiipiired of a ,

casioned by what is often followed by dan
carom coneiuences the sudden breaking
