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.
