"Why did I marry her? I often ask
ed myself the question, in the days
that succeded our ; honeymoon. By
right, I should have married no one.
Yet I loved her, as I love her still.
She was, perhaps, the strangest
character of her girlhood, I could not
comprehend her; and I often think,
when I raise my eyes to her grave,
quiet face, as she sits opposite me at
dinner, that I do not comprehend her
yet. There are many thoughts working
m her hrain of which I know nothing,
and flashes of feeling look out at her
eves now and then, and go back again,
u captives might steal glimpse of
the outer world through their prison
bars, and turn to their brickwalled
solitude once more. She is my wife, I
have her and hold her as no other dm.
She hears my name, and sits at the
head of my table ; she rides beside me
in lnv carriage, or takes mv arm as.we
walk and vet I know and feel, all the
time, that the darling of my past has
fled from me forever, and that it is on
ly the ghost of her bright youth, -that
lingers, near, me now.
" She was no,t a child when I married
her. though s'lie was very young. I
mean, that life had taught her lessons
whjeh avo generally-given only to the
HTcy-haired, and h:d'laid burdens up
on her which belong of right to theo-lcl.
She had been an unloved child, and
at the acre of sixteen she was left to
herself, and entirely dependent on her
Own exertions. Friends and family she
had Hone, she was. accustomed laugh
ingly to say ; but I have since found
that her sisters were living, and in hnp
py homes, even at Hie time when ho
accepted that awful trust of herself,
and went out ot the great worm to mi-,
hi it. Of this part of her life she nev-
er speaks; but one who knew net- men
hn told me much. It was a time of
strule and pain, as' well it might have
been. Fresh from the lite oi a isu-ge
boarding school, she was little fiUed
for the bustle of a great selfish-city ;
and the tears come "to my eyes as I
think, with a kind of wonder, on the
child wW pushed her way through dif
ficulties at which strong men have quail-

to. have my short holiday of rest and

I I said as muck to my aunt, in return
for her announcement of "Alice Kent
i is here," withNvhich she ; greeted me
': She looked over her spectacles m quiet
; wonder as I gave her a! slight sketch
! of the lady's city life, as, I had it from
: the lips of "Mrs. Grrundy'' herself.

Alice you are talking of, Frank ! How
ever, I'll say no more about her !
You'll have plenty of time to get ac
quainted with her, in the month you
mean to pass here. And; we are glad
to see you, and your bed-room is ready,
the one you used to like."
I took up my hat, and strolled away
to have a looksat the farm. By-and-by
I got over the orchard wall, and
crossed the brook, and the high road,
i and went out into the crave behind the
j house, whose farthest trees were grow- -
j iDg on the side ot tlie lull wnicn iook
j cd so, blue and distant from my cham
ber window. It was an old favorite
place of mine. A broad; wagon track
led through the woods, out to a clear-
ing on the other sjdc, where was a lit-
looking-glass, and a beautiful view of
a lovely country, withj fthe steep green
hills lying down in the distance, wrap:
ped in a soft fleecy mantle of cloud and
haze. I could think of nothing when I
stood there, on a fine sunshiny day,
but tho long ga ze of Bunyan's Pilgrim
through the shepherd's glass at the
beautiful city towards which he was
journeying. And it seemed sometimes
as if I could wander "over the hills
and far away," and lose myself in one
of the fairrvalleys at tho foot of -those
hills, and be content never to come out
and face the weary world any more.
I walked slowly through. the woods,
with the sunshine falling through the
green leaves of the young beeches in
chequered radiance on my path, draw-

and feeling a tingling in my veins and
a frlow at fuv heart, asi if the blood

talk, 'arid was sitting,' rrith'her -lips j
half apart and a lovely- color mant'ing
on her cheek, studying my face intent
ly, when our eyes met. There was an
electric kind 6f shock in the gaze.- I
saw the color deepen and go up- to her
forehead, and n shiver- ranoveT me
I from head to foot. It was dangerous
for me to watch that blush, but I. did.;
and I. longed to" know its cause, and
wondered what thought had brought it.
"Fred, bring me my- hat' she said
to her dog, affecting to yawn.. "It is
time for us to go home to supper Isup
pose. Are you hungry, cousin Frank?"
"Yes no," I answered, with my
thoughts still running on that blush.
She laughed good naturedly, and
took the hat from the Newfoundland,
who had brought it in his mouth.
"How tonti you are ot that great

She stopped short, and col-
beneath the tree.
"Fond of him ?" She stooped down
over him with a sudden . impetuous
movement, took his head between her
two hands, and kissed the beauty spot
on his forehead, ".bond, of him, cous

"That you have been true to," I
said finishing the sentence for her.
"So people sav," she answered, with
a laugh. But look at him look at
those beautiful eyes, and tell me if any
one could help loving him. My poor
old Fred ! So honest in this weary
world."
She sighed, and patted his head
again and he stood wagging his tail
and looking up into her face, with eres
that were as she had said, beautiful,
and, what' was better far, brimful of
love and honesty.
"I doubt if you will keep pace with

steps; "and Fred is longing for a
race; I always give him one through
the woods. Would you mind?" .
"Oh dear, no !"

"I would not advise any man, --be he
old or young, in case he does not think
it wise or prudent to marry the woman
he loves, to linger with her inthedoorr
way of a, silent farm-house, and hold
her hand, and look out upon a moonlight
night. The touch of the small, light
fingers was playing the mischief with
my good resolutions, and my wisdom
(if I had any.)
'Alice.' I said softly : and I almost
started, as she did, at the sound of my
own voice, it was so changed. 'Alice,
we have been very happy here.'
'Very.'
I took both her hands, and held
them close in mine. - But she would
not look at me though her face was
turned that way.

CIIvrTER THE SECOND.
I was, as I, have already said, a
grave, steady-going lawyer, verging
towards a respectable middle-age, with
one or two grey hair's showing among
mv black locks.' I had had my dreams
and fancies, and my hot, eager, gener
ous youth, like most other men ; and
they had passed away. But one thing
I had not ku'jwn, one thing. I had
missed (save in my dream.,). and-taut
t . vw mv visions a ooa
,n,l a nmo. th'ev were totally unlike
all the realities I had ever seen, lhe
wife of my fireside reveries was;; a
slight, delicate, gentle creatitre, with
a pure pale' face, sweet lips, the bluest
and clearest of eyes, the softest and
finest of golden liiir, and a voice low
and sweet, like the munnUrings of an
vEolian harp. And she sat by my
chair in silence

Ro. as a matter of course, I fell into
danger now. When Alice Kent went
singingand dancing through the house,
lcavin every door and window open
as she went, I used ottcn to lay uuu
my pen and look at her,' and feel as if
the sun shone 'brighter for her being
there. When she raced through the
