Slowly 1 e passed from the house of God, O'er the path his feet from his youth had trod. And he said, in a sad, grief-laden tone, "The rest of the way, I must go alone." lie had lived for nearly three-score years, And she, who shared his hopes and fears, To rest 'neath the summer flowers had gone, And the rest of the way, he must go alone. lie thought of the tim, long years ago, When the form, now laid iu the church yard low, Heside him, a fair young bridv; had gone From that church he was leaving now alone. The sunbeams, to-day, as brightly glow As on that morning, so long ago. Hut the light from his heart and home had gone. The way was dark, he must go alone. Ami over, in thought, he lived each year, When she walked beside him, to bless and cheer; And he pined for the gentle, loving tone Of the sweet, sweet voice; he was all alone. Few tears he wept, and few words he said, When others spake of the loved one dead; Rut ever, a still small voice made moan, In his silent heart, alone, alone. And the drops his eyes refused to shed, Fell on his heart, like molten lead; And his form grew bent, and his face was strewn With lines of grief, he was all alone. Thick fell the frost on his wrinkled brow, Till his raven locks grew white as snow. Not long had the weary man to moan, "The rest of the way, I must go alone." PASTE AND DIAMOND. BY AGXE8 JAMES. Loviho Barrett had just left the co1t!ig, which shoand her mother occupied, at the Forest Springs, a pretty little watering place in the mountains, well known to many of my readers. Louise was one of the prettiest girls there. She had such lovely, laughing, blue eyes ; such a soft, brilliant color, such glorious auburn hair. She was ap parnntly, too, so winning and child-like, though there were those who said that she was really sly and treacherous, and her frank and alfectionate manner was only put on to,deceive. From the next cottage, almost at the same instant, emerged Car melite Le Verrier; dressed in airy, white muslin, with a quaint fichu ; bare-headed, carrying in her hands that won; joined behind her, her broad-brimmed hat. She smiled and nodded to Louise; but that was all; and hurried on to join rd. buth'jrland, "the dearest, sweetest old lady in the world," as Carmelite was wont to call her. A young gentl omen, who had been oitering listlessly about, advanced uirriedly nt sight of Carmelite. But Ik; fore he could reach her, he had to pass Louise, who, with a start of affected surprise, called to him. Too well-bred to refuse le stopped and joined her, though chafing in secret at the necessity. "Mr. Keith 1 Is it possible?" she cried, with alfected surprise. "W lien did you arrive? How glad I am to see you." She is even more beautiful, he thinks, than she was last summer lie lifts his hat, and takes the hand; and holds it until she draws it away, coloring prettily. They walk on slowly, chatting in low tones, she looking up and down at him with shy, sweet co quetry. Directly, they overtake Mrs. Sutherland and Carmelite The former welcomes the new. uoiuei wunniy. vjarmeiite gives him one cool, little hnnrl. nnd . ... , - i . - ... then stands silent, quietly regard g him with her serious blue 'tyes. Alter a little. Louise sn.v "Como with us, Carmelite; wo are going for a walk." "Thanks! But not this after noon, she says. "I have already asked Mrs. Sutherland to let me join her." And she draws away, very gently, but decidedly. l ho two parties separate, and take different ways. "I wonder," says Mrs. Sutherland, after a mo ment, "if Mr. Keith is as great a flirt as ever." But Carmelite made no reply. Meanwhile, Louise says to her companion, "I cannot think why Carmelite is so cold to me. I really love her, but she will not like me." "I think she is cold to almost every one," Mr. Keith replies "Or, perhaps, I should say r served." Louise is silent for a moment and then a little smile, full of meaning, flits over her face. "i was wonuering" sue says looking up into his face, innocent ly, "what so, t of love-making it can bo that tl use two carry on Carmelite and Mr. Delisle." "II.u alio u lover?" Mr. Keith JLJLJJJ 1870. 26. aln c.ing careh ssi-es Oh! yes a Mr. Delislo, from New Orleans. At least, I suppose he is her lover, though one would think lie was in love with the grandmother, he is so devoted to the old lady. Madame Le Verrier quite approves of him, and al lows Carmelite to waltz with him every evening. And you know she does not waltz with every one." "Yes, I know," Mr. Keith says. Jle speaks rather absently, and pulls his long moustache thought fully. In a few moments, how ever, he rouses himself, and talks as much, and as well, as ever, till finally, they saunter back to the hotel, to tea. Mr. Delisle is dark and grave as a Spaniard; he is quite good-looking, and waltzes magnificiently. Keith is forced to acknowledge that, as he watches him floating round the ball-room, with Carme lite, whose dancing is simply the perfection, not only of grace, but of dignity, that, rare quality of modern dancing. At last, the waltz is over, and Mr. Delisle eads his partner back, ceremoni ously, to grandmother a side. Keith now comes np. Madame Le Verrier! You have not forgotten me, I hope," with his frank smile. Xot at all 1 It i.i a great pleas ure to see you again, she says, cordially, giving him her hand, and motioning him to the seat be- ide her. She is very gracious, very intel- lgent, and a talk with her is al ways pleasant. Presently she ap peals to Carmelite, (who has been sitting quietly, listening to some murmured remarks of Mr. Del isle's). Is it next Wednesday," she asks, "or Thursday, there is to be the grand ascent of the moun tain?" On Thursday, grandmama. To-day week," Carmelite an swers. And you are going, Madame, are you not?" asks Harry Keith. "I? Oh, certainly, if the rail road to the summit can be finished before then," the old lady says, laughing merrily. "Grandmamma will not go with us, interposes Carmelite: "but he promises to spend the day on the roof of the hotel, waving a red shawl, that we may not. fail to see ler, with our telescope." She says this kiughingly, and bestow ing an affectionate little pat upon the soft old hand, that Madame Le Verrier has just laid on her arm.. How the girl's face lights up as she looks at one she loves? That soft, bright smile brings out an enchanting little dimple, and del icate rose flush, on each cheek; the gray-blue eyes laugh out from beneath the dark shadowing lash es, it l could only make her look at me in that way!" Harry wishes. "On Thursday! And I shall be gone then," Mr. Delislo says, in a low, regretful tone, which, somehow, mak. i Harry feel very angry. Yet what right has to be angry? he asks himself. Then comes a crash of music, announcing the beginning of an other waltz. Miss Le Verrier! May I have the pleasure of this waltz?" Har ry says this, ceremoniously. Car melite looked up, as if to refuse. But she meets such an earnest, pleading look in. his hazel eyes, that she rises, with a smile. "Ah, it is delightful to dance with you again," he says, as they glide away, to the soft, melan choly strains of the "Aein Aime." lie looks down, and adds, in an even lower tone, "I have been looking forward to this pleasure, all summer." Then, after a lit tle pause, he almost whispers, cannot tell you how, much I have longed to see you.' Carmelite laughs, a merry, half mocking, little laugh. "You are in good practice, Mr. Keith," she says. "Have you been making pretty speeches ever since we par ted!" "I wish you would not treat what I say to you so lightly," he responds, almost angrily. "Is it because you do not believe I have thought of you or that you simp ly don't care to hear it ?,' "Whichever is most agreeable to your vanity," she answers, smiling; and it is a very charm ing smile, though the words are mocking, nay, provoking. When Jhe waltz is ovjr, Harry establishes himself by her side, near Madame Le Verrier, ane vainly imagines he is going to have UL Ll V ILi iK 7 i 1 n y n Country, God LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1897. a "cozy chat," with her. But at this moment, Mr. De lisle canes up, saying, "Miss Le Verrier, I believe you promised to promenade with me, now," and she rises and goes away with him. Thus bereft, Harry rushes des perately off to the German. He finds Miss Barret still disengaged. Siie hesitates she "had not meant to dance, to-night," she "had had a headache;" but she does dance, after all. And she dances well, too, but differently from Carmelite. There is more what shall we say? more nerve, more abandon, more vim in her style, than in Carmelite's. "Oh, I am half dead!" Louise pants, sinking into her chair, and closing her eyes, when .the waltz is over. Her cheeks are flushed scar let, her hair loosened, her dress torn . "You do not look as if you were' very near dissolution," Harry says, laughing, and scanning her vigorously. Just then his eyes fell upon Carmelite, who has paused in her promenade on the piazza, and is looking through the ball-room window', at the dan cers. She stands there, cool, fair, tranquil as a dewy, starlit night! There is a slightly disgusted ex pression, on Harry's face, as she vanishes from the window, and he turns to watch Louise, who has been snatched from her chair again, and is whirling round now with young Leary, a millionaire, and a great catch ; but neverthe less, a stupid, heavy lout, who does not even dance like a gentle man. It is nearlj' a week since Harry Keith's arrival. Mrs. Sutherland sits in her dear, little nest of a sitting-room, meditating deeply. "What is it, Susy?" asks her husband, Major Sutherland. "I am thinking about Harry Keith," she answers, seriously; "and what a goose he is." "Y'es; he clearly doesn't know his own mind. I rather think he prefers Miss Louise, in the even ing, as a partner for the German; but that in the morning, his fa vorite is my pet. Did you notice how attentive lie was to Carme lite, at the pic-nic?" "Yes, I noticed," says the Ma jor, rather cool. "But was she to him? I imagine Delisle has the inside track, there." "Y'ou don't know anything about it," Mrs. Sutherland says, 1. J ' 11 I , T T euipiiaticaixy. "lie does not care, in the least, for Louise; but she is an artful little wretch, and when a girl regularly throws her self at a man's head " 'Now, now, my dear!" the Ma jor interrupts 'That is too se vere. JUiss Louise is a frank, warm-hearted, impulsive little soul just the least bit given to flirtat toi i , perhaps . ' ' Mrs. Sutherland smiles, and re marks, sagely, "Paste and dia mond." "Well, really," continues the Major, "paste or not paste, you can't blame Keith for preferring a girl, who so evidently likes his at tentions, to one who, apparantly, doesn't care a snap for him." As lor Carmelite's indiffer ence, says the wite, I am not sure." hat ? is she, too capable of deception !" the Major says, laugh ing triumphantly, and so leaves the room. I he Major is nearer the truth il. 1. " r . tt t i man nis wue. narry had come back to the Springs, hoping to win Carmelite. But her coldness, on the one hand, and the fascina tions of Louise, on tne other, had drawn diim, more and more, to the side of the latter. In one thing, however, Mrs. Sutherland was correct. Carmelite's indiff erence was more assumed, than real. She had never acknowl edged to herself, that she hoped to see Harry again this summer ; but when he did appear, and joined Louise first, somehow she felt hurt; for she did not know, as the reader does, that Louise had sum moned him to her side. Hence her refusal to join in the walk, and her coldness, then and subse sequently, a coldness, as Harry well said, never intermitted, ex cept on rare occasions. Thus, day by day, he was drifting into the toils of Louise, while really lov ing Carmelite. But one evening, after a waltz with Cairie Bacon, the latter drew him out on the piazza. "Come," she said, taking-a seat by a window, through which they could see the dancers within, "I have something to tell you. Do you notice Louise, sitting there in and Truth.. that corner, with Phil Leary? Well, she is trying to talk him into a good humor; for lie i;, as you see. more sulky and surly than usual." "Yes! I see." "Weil, sl-.e has behaved dread fully to him, She did all she could to catch him, dolt though he is, and now she is engaged to him. Info you see how she treats him! She means to throw him over if she can take you in be cause he hasn't a thing but his mo ney, to recommend him. Oh, I know her- You needn't ask me to stop. She has treated me shamefully, this very day, and I just determined . you should hear what a double game she is play ing. There, that is all. Now" I must go." And off she runs. Harry sits there, wondering at it all: Shall he believe Carrie, or not? Suddenly, his attention is attracted by voices. It is Mrs. Barrett, Louise's mother, that is speaking. "I know all about them, my dear!" she says. "Their cottage is next to mine. They quarrel like cats and dogs. I can hear that meek little Carmelite scold ing that nice old French servant, Angelique saying things I could not repeat, actually." Mrs. Barrett is talking to a fel low-gossip, but at Harry Keith, whom she has seen sitting in the shadow, under the vines, by the window. She saunters on, with her companion, and .disappears. Harry begins to think he'll give it all up, and go home, to-morrow. But to-morrow brings a change. The first person he meets, as he descends to breakfast, is Carrie Bacon. 'Oh! Mr. Keith," she says, ' 'have you heard? It is dreadful , " breathlessly. "If I had known what was coming, I wouldn't have said what I did, last night though it was all true. Oh! I hope she won't die." ' 'Who won't die? What is it?'. "Louise Barrett is very ill de lirious it is scarlet, fever, or dyph- theria, or some other dreadful thing. The doctor is here, and everybody is frightened to death, except Carmelite Le Verrier, who has gone to nurse her. She would go, it seems, when she heard that everybody ran away, even Louise's mother." Harry was thunder-struck. On ly last evening, Louise was radi ant with youth and beauty. Then he thought of Carmelite, and with a pang, hat it she should catch the infection, and die? If he had doubted before whom he loved, he did not doubt now. As soon as he dared, he called on Madame Le Verrier. He found her calmer than he had expected. es! Carmelite has gone," she said, with simple frankness. "There was no one else, and I did not attempt to stop her. She risks her life, you say. Well, no blesse oblige, even if there is no higner motive. But I hope the dear child has one. I always called her 'my little sister of charity.' She is so helpful in sickness, and so brave." But Louise's illness, after a day or two, is pronounced to be only a violent cold. She is, for a while, very ill, nevertheless, and Harry cannot help feeling a half-liking for Phil Leary, who is honestly, utterly miserable about Louise, and who, selecting Harry as his confidant, hangs about him all day, and tells him, over and over again, how he adores her, and how wretched he is ! He seems to have quite forgotten her "flirtation" with Keith, and his own sulky misery in consequence. He thinks only of the happy time when she was his, and his onl' ! Two weeks of sunny, September weather, pass by Louise is out of danger, even getting well, and Carmelite's du ties as nurse grow lighter. The' have been rather arduous, for Louise has needed - most careful , and constant nursing, and she is a very exacting patient, even now. But, to-day, Carmelite has escaped, and is walking with Mr. Keith, through the fields, towards the forest, that lies beyond the green valley. She looks a little pale, from weariness, and loss of sleep ! but Harry thinks is pret tier than ever. "How sweet the air is," she saj's, pausing at the edge of the woods, to look back at the sunny, swe;t landscape and drawing a deep breath of pleasure and satis faction. "I am so glad to have a nice, long walk once more!" "You cannot imagine how glad SINGLE COPIES 5 CENTS. lam to walk with you ajain," Harry says, so earnestly, tl at Carmelite looks up at him, with a rather surprised glance, "Then you have really missed me?" she says, smiling. "I have missed you and I have been very anxious about you," he. goes on, gravely. "I could not' help feeling, that, perhaps-, the doctors were all mistaken, and there was danger of infection " "Not the slightest danger, I as sure you," Carmelite says, laugh ing, "you would have run away, if you thought that?" She gives him a little, mischievous look, from under her long lashes, and then, with a sudden change, she says, earnestly, "I am glad you didn't run away. You were a great comfort to poor grandmam ma. She told me how good you have been, in coming to talk to her, every day. I used to see you, sometimes, through Louise's blinds, sitting on our porch, talk ing so confidentially. It looked re ally like a flirtation, and I felT anxious, lest you were planning an elopement, with my unprotect ed grandmamma, during my ab sence." Harry laughs at the girl's non sense, and then says, seriously, "Shall I tell you what we were talking about ? The one unfailing subject of conversation was -our-self." "Oh, how inconsiderate of grand mamma, to bore you so merciless ly," Carmelite says, gaily. But as she glances at him, something in the expression of his face makes her eyes fall, and a little, soft color came into her cheeks. " "Let us walk on," Harry says, af ter a silence. There is a low fence, just here, which gives him an excuse to take her hand, and when he has helped her over, he auiet.lv flrsiwu it through his arm, and they saunter on under the arching trees to gether. It was I who did most of the talking. I hope Madame Le Ver rier was not bored." lie uhto bne was very gracious, and did not order me away, at any rate, though I must have appeared very presuming sometimes,. Carmelite will you order me awav. if T tell you what I told her?" 'That depends," Carmelite an swers, softly, smiling, yet color- , as she sees him gazing ear nestly into her face. 'If I tell you how dearly I love you it 1 ask you to be mv wife as I do what will you say?' Carmelite is silent for a little while. Her color deepens, then fades away again. At last, with a little sigh, she looks up at him Oh, are you sure you love me?" she half whispers, her soft eyes fixed wistfully on his face Harry smiles ; but he answers, almost solemnly, "I am sure, my darling. As sure as I am that I held your dear hand in Why do you doubt it?" mine. .Because sometimes I have thought it was Louise you loved,' she says, simply and gently, her eyes still on his face. "No, dear, it was always you But you drove me to her for con solation sometimes, when you were so cruelly cold to me." Carmelite smiles, and her color comes back, brightly. "But, indeed, I was not cold in my heart," she wmspers. "I was only afraid of loving you." "Then do not be afraid any longer," he answers, with a happy laugh . And so, with her lover's arm around her, they strayed on till evening came, and the full moon rose over the mountain. "And far across the hills they went, In that new world which is the old." "My dear," Major Sutherland says, as he comes into his wife's room, where she is dressing for the evening, and lavs a little bou quet of field daises, and the first scarlet maple leaves, on her table, "I met young Keith, just now, walking with your pretty favorite, Miss Carmelite." "lou did? Where?" Mrs. Suth erland asks it eagerly. "They were coming down the mountain, by moonlight, as if be lated, witn a sly twinkle at his wife. "Well?" The major smiles. "Very well, I think, my dear It is all right, I am sure." "Oh, I am glad!" "Glad that he has the dia mond? ' said the major. "Though you can't call Loue paste, after all. hiie says she II never forget Carmelite's kindness. And she's WHOLE NO. 1430. going to keep her word, and make poor Phil happy, who iMi't half a bad fellow, as they say in Eng land, after all." "But he isn't Harry," retorted Mrs. Sutherland, "nor is Louise, my dear, Carmelite." "Exactly," laughing. "I never keep on contradicting a woman, my love." Institute Programme.
