Mira cared utile lot admiration, and leu for tbe opinion of her fashionable friend so freely expressed. She waa walking in the cool plana in tha moonjight, with young Dagob, listening to bis musical reioe, whose low, sweet tones were stirring a strange, wild melody in a heart that never before vibrated with love. She was luten- ine to a thrilling description of Rome, the eter- rnal city' enabrined on the seven bills. He deli' nested, with an artist s enthusiasm, ber grand old marbles and inspired paintings, over which the dust and decay of ages rest, like tha grey abroad on tbe bosom of the dead. In eloquent language be described the wonders of disan tombed Pqmpei." Ha piotured temples, theatres and dwellings where lived And loved the people of two tboussnd years ago: He told her, in glowing language, of the jrsosfal minaret, feath ery palms and grandtand solemn pyramids, and while listening, she seemed to scale with him tbe dangerous pus of the Alps, and stood in breathless awe looking up the disky heights, crowned with ice and mow. And ia imagination she wander ed down tha tolden Nile, and admired the rioh beauty of Its Tertile vslley ey, rendered gloriously beaotifal by its frequent innndailona ." Hnyolce took a 4pef aad Sweater tooe.wbea be daeeiib ed tba ruined eftlea of tba far Eut, tha fretted arches and vut eathredrt! ailses ' of tha Old World, made grand by tbe. work of art, and rainbow painted windows, whose arrets, dying, left immortal names - behind tbem, weyaosrkl for other gifted spirits who are eVtlned to follow tbem down the broad ailea of oomiug age. 8he drank in tba tones of bisjiofily podulat ed vuioe, miking no BoU of time. Wbea sap. per was aoaoanoedbe led ber to the table. Dur ing tha repast abe watched him narrowly, and when wine was Served abe became pale with ax eitement She offered him a gliu with i smile) hs gave ber a eearehing look and refused it, caJN iog for water ia its stead. ' . I cannot pledge yoa with wine,' for I do not drink it; bat with this glau of tatef, Nature'' purest beverage, t drink Id yoa. May love and happiness be your portion in life." " I thank yoa." It was all abe laid j but a bright smile rswarded him better thin words Mira bad, iodeed, met ber affinity. Love bud ded in their hurts that night, and, era the year had passed, it bloesomed into a hymenial wreath. It was moon light upon tbe tladsoa. Tba borne to which Warren Dagon took bis young bride waa beautiful with vlnee aod summer bloes semi. Ha and Mini were walking ana ia arm on the cool piaxirf, conversing of tbe past aod dreaming boght dreams of be future- long yesrs to come, crowned with earthly bappinesl. " I never eould comprehend tbe reason tbat your friends called yoa marble hearted. Yoa were never cold to me, darling," aaid he, draw ing her dowa to a seat by hie aide. " It is a sad story, desr bueband ; let ns sit here ia the moon light, and I will tell yod'of my fair young sister who died three years ago. f shall never again meet a spirit like hers, so joud, so pare and free. Elsie wu but eevea teen when aha gave her heart bj Atwell Chandler. ' . He loved tbt wioe cup better. ' He 'was no ordinary mat; many and rich were tbe gifts bestowed upon bim by aatare. He was a dark haired man, with eyes of rare depth and feeliog; He was very handsome "; in thinner hewu gentlemanly and pleaaing. .Tf a all loved bim father loved him u a son, and So gave him Elsie. They were married aad went to dwell ia hia beautiful home in the South, and, for a few years, they were happy. " Then AtWell began io neglect bis business for a downward path, which ended ia tbe drunk ard's grave. Five years from her bridal Elaie came home broken-hearted. Atwell died by hia own band, for they found him io tbe lumber housa with his brains blown out by a piatoKahot; and my dear, beautiful aiater came to her girl- hood'l borne broken hearted j came borne to die ."' -, , , w " It wu just luoh a nigit like this, a beauti-. ful night la midsummer, wbea Elsie died. Sbd lay upon her pillow looking so white aod fur. She waa perfectly calm, eo feat of death thrilled her pure spirit; her face would bate charmed jrtepheal, it waa so spiritul in its child like beauty. If the angels on tbe other shore sr fairer than Elsie in ber dying hour, then Indeed will heaven be glorious in ita brightness " l koet that abe was dying, lor I saw the ; has of death steal over bet features Her bright eyes were growing dim to earthly eight, j fet they bad a Strang Inward light, as though i her spirit had penetrated the gloom of the im-i mortal Jayy which ahines wiih -ternl"snmoer' in tha city, cf Qod. ' As 1 stood by her bedside, ! BSoietening ber lips ithfater, and wiping the ; col dews from her foreheadf her long, ailkeri eyelashes were lifted for a moment, and, fixing her eyes upon me with: no expression or earnest- j nesa and tenderness, she said : 'Mira, sister, .thIsTs"dealh My ireary feet i are eved now treading the brink Qf the river that rolls between the other world and this ; I do noi fear, to die; 'tis joy nnntterable to know that I am almost home. Poor Atwell i I shall sooh meet him again, the morning of hie life wss very fair, giving promise of a long and useful day; bat his sun went down in darkness before it had Teach sd tha meridian," aod his own band hastened i its" untimely settiug. t trust I may find him ia tbe land to whiohl am going. Mira, promise me that yoa will never marry a mail who is not temperate, for intemperance is the .fottn tain of misery. Think how many bright homel are made desolate by it-.faiherleu and mother leas go down in sorrow to the grave,' and wlvoa and litCe children are made to suffer mora than death by intemperanoe. O, Mira, I would far rather barb yon die now while youeart ii pure and free from sorrow, than have yoa live, and, in the ldcg years to come, find misery and woe in a drunkard's borne. .Remernber poor Atwell aod promise what I wish.' .

" May heaven and tba spirit of your sweet ais ter help me to be worthy df your love, for It wu tba happiest hour of my life wbea I met with Miri, the ' odarble hearted,' " aaid ho, smiling.
