Most among them had one true loving L heart at leasst awaiting his return with lole of the ; a festal why does not observe around him with animation. "You see, it stood so entirely alone, nobody ever came near it, and out before the door the purple heather grew so thickly ! When I lay there in the morning, it was so warm and still, and one never-heard a sound but the humming of the wild bees, and the whirring of the great flies' wings. In the autumn my mother and I used to cut off the long heather,! bind it in to bundles, and sell them yonder in the village. There was a well near our door, and when one looked jdown into it, oh ! it was so dark,' and deep, ond cold ! And when one was; draw ing up the bucket, it creaked as-; if it were a labor to come up; ,amU it ,it were let go again, one might wait and watch a long time before it got down "to where the Water was.

Johan pointed down towards the val- fltev and said "T) vnn son nnr lirmsp. vnndcr ?

"I should like very much to see your former house," said the other brother, George , who had been gazing upon the child with his large, expres sive eves. "Could you find the way to it r "Oh ! to be' sure I could," she re plied. "When I go with the sheep up to-the top . of the hills, can see it far away towards the east.

In proccssof time, when the girl grew stronger, the mother of the boys, at their earnest and repeat ed request, took her as an assistant in her household work, and Ellen became happier and prettier every day. Jo han carved Avooden shoes for her,jcar- ried Avatcr for her, and helped her at her Aveaving ; George AvhitcAvashed her little room, and planted floAA'ers out side her window ; and neither of the brothers ever Avent to the market-town Avithout bringing a little gift to her. They Avere all three confirmed on the same day, though the; brothers Avere older than Ellen ; but from that day their peace was disturbed ; Lars, the son of the clerk of the church, took into his head to lfiakc up to Ellen, pre sented her Avith hOAvers and a silver ring, and, Avhat Avas Avorse, at a dance in the village, shortly after, he danced Avith her almostrthe Avhole evening. Why Avas it that the gloomy looks of the dissatisfied brothers sought not each other's sympathy? Why did not ed ; and Ellen felt, as if the idea had been conveyed to her in a flash of lightning, that they must both go. She seized a hand of each, pressed them to her beating heart, and told them, in a voice broken by suppressed sobs, that they must go; that theymust trust in God, and that she Avould pray for them both. That night, Avhen she had retired to her little chamber, she Avept bitter tears, and prayed to the Almighty that he Avatch over them both ; and if one must fall, that He would preserve him Avhose life would be' of the greatest utility. But her sighs Avere for G eorge, and her secret Avishes for his safety. The brothers joined the army. The li feu they led there, so new to both, seemed to call forth from their inmost souls long-dormant feelings, and they once more became intimate ; but of home they never dared to speak. They often Avished to write to that home, but something impossible seem ed always to preventthem, and neither of them Avould let that duty devolve upon the other. It was almost a re lief to them when they had to march tathe field of battle ; the lives of both would be exposed there- God Avould choose betAveen them. And they look ed earnestly one upqn the other, and wrung each other's hand. But Avhen they met after the battle, they did not shake hands, they nodded coldly to each other ; and, to a comrade from their native village, they said "When you write home, tell them that our Lord has spared us." Again they Avent forth to meet the enemy; again they participated in that fearful lottery for life or death ; and amidst the tumult of the fight, they chanced to stand side by side. At length, driven from the field, they took j refuge in a small building, but it was anxiety therefore the av little Village welcome far Johan lo('xk the promise as if , ho Ai was prepann them.

But there had hitherto been tAvo to love her Avhy had tAvo suddenly become one too many ? And Avhen Ellen, her-face ra diant, with joy,' came tripping .up -to George, seized, his hand, and said, "Will you not dance one little dance Avith me, George?" Avhy did Johan spring -forward with a Avrathful coun tenance, snatch, jvway her hand, and exclaim "No; T am tired of staying here, Ellen; Ave must go home!" Suddenly the-brothers turned upon each other as if thev Avere bitter cne mies. and thev Avould have come to bloAvs, had Ellen not burst into tears, and, separating them, accompanied them home. , ' From that day forth they Avatched narrowly each other's Avord and look, and seemed to be ahvays in a state of miserable anxiety about each other. If they Avere going to market, they made a point of starting at the same time, for the one dared not leave the other a moment behind, for fear he should have an opportunity of saying a kind Avord privately to Ellen, or of Obtaining a kind look from' her, in which the other could not share. If they Avere sitting together in their humble parlor, they kept a sharp and had lived; 'jealous look-out upon every glance of hers ; and if she spoke a little longer, or whh a little more apparent interest to one, the room seemed to be too con fined for the other, and he. Avould rush out to breathe the pure air, but yet Avithout feeling the oppression remov ed from his heart. At length, eyen a tran-aoor wnicn leu io ine wouur and forced himself through it. George stooped over it and was about to fol Ioav his example," when an evil spirit entered into Johan's heart ; he thrust his brother back, dreAv doAvn the trap door, and rushed tOAvards the trees. Immediately he heard the sound of firing ; the smoke concealed his flight, he crept into the wood, trembling in every limb, and fainted aAvay upon the grass. On recovering from his swoon, all Avas still around him : but he soon fell in with some of his comrades, and join cd. his regiment. The troops Avere shortly after mustered,' and' the name of each individual was called. How intense ay ere his feelings Avhen his brother's Avas heard ? None answer ed to it ; and, conquering with a vio lent effort his emotion, he ventured to glance tOAvards the place that his bro ther used to occupy, and where he al most dreaded to see a pale and threat eningspectre. Heheardhis comrades talk of him but his heart appeared to hare become seared. He felt that he ought to write to Ellen, and eArening after evening he sat doAvn to the task; but he always abandoned it, for he fancied, that without any confession, she Avould discern that the hand which traced the letters on the paper to her had thrust his brother info the jaws of death. He gave up the idea of writ ing, but through another sent a mes sage of kindness from himself, and the tidings of George's death. When a cessation of hostilities for a time Avas agreed on, and Johan was to return home, he endeaAored and hoped to be able to shake off his deep gloom, lie was to see iiien again ing, and leaning againsjt the outside frame, he said "Listen to me, Ellen ! We have mourned Ions enough for George. I have been fond of you ever since you were d child will you be my, wife now : Ellen looked doAvn for a moment ; then raising her eves to Ms, she said : "Ah, Johan ! I saAv very Avell hoAv matters stood between you and George; but I Avill tell you frankly, that I Avould have preferred to have tajven poor George for my husband, and kept you as my brother. HoAvever, since it Avas God's Avill to remoA-e him from this Avorld, there is no one whom I would rather marry than you. Are you con tent Avith this acceptance t "I suppose I must be," replied Jo han ; but he became very pale, and he added, in aloAver and somewhat dis contented tone : "There was no need for your saying all this, Ellen ; you mu belieA' my assurance, that I am as'much attached toyou as ever George could have been." "Yes, Johan, yes!" said Ellen; "but it is needless to make comparisons noAV, nor ought you to be angry at what I have said. ; You arc dearest to me af ter him ; and, even if he stood herein your plade, I Avould not be happy, if you Avere dead and gone. "Hush, Ellen, hush!" cried Johan, as he glanced over his shoalder Avith uneasiness. ; "Let us speak about our Avcddinz:-dav ; for my, mother .cannot live long, and Ave could not reside to gether after her death, unless AveAvere married." After ,a littTe more conversation, El len shut the window, '. and withdrcAV, I and the subject Avas not again alluded to during the evening. When Johan Avent to bed, the thought occurred to him "It Avas very strange that I for orot to seal our en en cement Avith a sm- ei ----- - o c gle kiss.

He could not sleep that night he could not help, reflectingijhow it would have been if it Avere George who was about to marry Ellen, anu lie Avho Avas lying in the grave.
