Pel h ips I have not the art to tell it grncl fully, bat he that speaks from the hoat| will ever be listened to attentively, anfj will find a ready response in every sym pa'hetic bis>iu. I was left an orphan at an early age • : >d had to struggle hard to support my self and bister—a dainty little thing who calltd out all the love and chivalry of «uy nature. I fouu d but little time to attend sohool, but that little was so improved thii in looking back over uiy" sihool days 1 flud nothing to regret save their brevity. Before she had comple!ed her 16th year, my sister died I stood beside her, and saw her sweet young lifo go out as gently as if she had but fallen quietly to sleep. It was a long time bo i lore I could realise that she was dead Hut when, at last, the truth forced itself! upon my unwilling heart, I sat down by \ her side, took her white, cold band in j mine, but did not ween. My grief was) too deep for tears. I thought of the ' many times she had wound her loviugly about my neck ; of the many : kisses she bad showered upon my | cheeks and browj and. oh ! how I Inoged tu feel the pressure of those arrr.s once more, to taste again the sweetnets j of those loving lips But why dwell upon the sweetly-sor- i rowlul (heme? We buried her in the village churchyard, by the side of tbe | dear oues who had gone before When aumuier oatue, sweet flow] rs bloomed up >0 her grave, but none so sweet as once had been the flower that lay be neath. It was long ere 1 suffi iently recovered froui the shock to again take an interest in my work ; but, an time wore ou, I ! lorgot something of my glicf, though j there was ever present in my heart an i At last th it longing wax satisfied. ID the village there lived a lovely girl, the daughter of a merchant We had been pla.mates aud companions from child hood, and otu friendship had iooreased with increasing years. One evening I breathed in her ?ar a tale of love, and naked ber to be my wife. Her a swer fijoded uiy heart wilh a peaceful ha[ pi ness to wbioh it had long been a stranger. I approached her father upon the subject ot our marriage, and gained his o >ußcQt, with tbe provision that 1 should be ab ent one year, to test tho strength of my love for his daughter To this w; both objected uioet earnestly, but he wis inexorable, and we submitted. A few days later I bade adieu to all I held dear in life, ana started forth to tryjuy fortune at tbe West. At Qhey enne I halted, and, taking advantage of the first offer that was made, I was soon installed a "cow boy" on one of the largest Block ranges in tho Territory. By strict attention to business, and a care fu regard for the interests Of my em ployer, I soon rose to the dignity of foreman, with a silary of SIOO per month. The months rolled on, and nothing transpired to give me a moment's un easiness in regard to the constaney of my betrothed Long, loving letters came regularly and often—bright spots in tbe lonely desert of my life. At last my year was np. and I prepared to hasten home and olaim my bride On the day before I was to start, I called at the ofliae for my mail. A tiny, white envelope was handed to me, and one glenoe at the superscription told me it was from she who was all the world to me. Sleeping apart from the crowd, I tore ope* the envelope and read these words: JOHN : Do not write to me any moro lam married Oh, John I I know I have done wrong. Can you ever forgive me ? BULL Oh ! the agony of that moment 1 As [ stood there ataring vacantly at the eruel note, it seemed thai tbe light of my life had gone oat for ever Ah, reader, those only who have experienced it can realise the inexpressible grief that sweeps across the heart at suoh a time • Tho death of a loved one cuts not half so keenly Here we mourn the loss of one dearer, perhaps, than life ; there to the consciousness uf our loss is added 1 the conviction of guilt on the part of ino we had bolieved so pure, so true t Here onr grief is mitigated by tho thought that we may meet again—meet to love forever—there no such gleam of hope comes to lessen the darkness of the hour Our dream of love is over—for i life, for all eternity ! ' I know not how long I stood there in ithe office, but lat last, became conscious 'of being observed. So, putting the note J in my pocket, I walked to tbe do. r Without, a blinding snow storm rage*!. The few who had business on t''C streets hurrwd to and fro, eager to rc-ich son.e shelter from tl e sto.-m I got to my , jrfjom, I scarcely know how ; aud si kin - 1 Irtito't seat, I remained there fur luurs thinking, only thinking ! Wfien night closed in I took toy I at i and wandered forth into the storm The wind tore through the si reels, s. with the conscious power of a ficud But a ficrocr tempest withia uiy brea-t made , . me despise tbe warring elements, and 1 i wandered on and on, carule-s of even j life itself. In the days o* untold angn'sh tha' ! fo'lowea, what wonder if I lorgot n.y i manhood, what wonder if I lei! ! S;>an j J tne the pain of repnatir.g the story the ensuing year. Let it Si.flh'e when ! I tell y.-u that all my hard esrnc-d money ; was gone ere tho year was oit ; that I was a mere wreck of my forner splf I I do not pretend to justify my emd iot. ! | Call me weak if you will. I only know my j suffering was greater than I could bear | | At times I was painfully conscious of j my errors, and struggled hard to break | the bonds that held mo fast B>it not [ until my lost dollar was gone d-d I fu''y I realize the folly of my conduct. Then, I indeed, necessity compelled me to piuse ! and consider what wa? to be do 1 . I' took not long to decide I w u!d go to work and earn money sufficient to bear my expenses to South America Once out of my native country, I w--uld ncvet again set foot in a laud where I had koown only sorrow and disappointment work. Hut tbe vice of inteuiperai ce had so s rong a hold on mc that nearly half my tvageß were squandered in drink. Thus another year passed before I had saved money enough to take me out of the country. At laU, however, I as again prepared to leave Cheyenne As I stepped on board the train that was to Dear me from the spot where I had suffered so much, a heuvy load seemed lifted from my ucart. I had not thought of visit ing my boyhood's home But uow I felt that I could not go aw iy forever without once more looking up >D the graves of my loved one?, without one final view of the semes I had loved so well The village which I yet called home was situated near uiy line of travel. As I approaohed thy home station my desire to stop increased. And so, wheu tbe train halted at the well temeuibcred depot, I stepped from tho car, took the stage, and in two hours was again in my native town. 1 was greeted c rdi illy, and yet I felt there was a ohange. Many of tbe friendß of my you'h hud uiov d away ; others had died ; and those who were lelt had wives and families who claimed all their love. My widowed aunt alone gave me a v elcome that was heartfelt and warm. Yes, thc-re was one •ether, my cousin, a beautiful girl whom I had not seen since she was a little child. In her I found a friend, such as 1 never knew before. She wns eouvei sant with all the circumstauces of my life, and sympathized with me as none other had ever done. Unconsciously ay heart went out to her, and the few days ! I had purposed staying lengthened into weeks, and still I lingered, unwilling to tear myself away. I knew mv cousin felt n sincere friend ship for me, but further than thai I dared not hope. She was so young, so beauti ful, so pure, it seemed to me impossible she could ever look upon a ooarse, rough j man like ui\sel; in any more favorable light. Believing tbis, I kept the true state of my feelings a secret from her, and tried hard to smother the affection that would not be put down. At last I determined to go—to forget her if I could So, at breakfast one morning, 1 startled them by announcing my intention of leaving them the follow ing week. My aunt protested, but I ; listened iu vain lor any word of remon- ! strance from the one who alone might I induce mo to remain I glanced across the table to where I my e usin sat. Iler eyes uiet mine for an instant—only an instant—and jet in that brief tinio they told uie uioro than E had ever dared to hope. A few min tites later I arose and followed her into the sitting-room, scarcely loss agitated than she. Lending ber to a sofa, 1 sat down beside her, and, still holding ber hand in mine, I sa 1 : '"P es not my little cousin «iah me to remain 1" '•Oh, John, you know Ido I'leaso 0 \ g "And viil you let me love you i, 1 say V ' ' " 1 »(► •>' ' Yes."
