It was but for a fw moments Alice yielded to her feeling'sV when rising, she said solemnly, May God forgive you, William; farewell, forever." ? M" Before the surprise had completely sooered him, she left the room with an unfaheiing step, and gained the solitude iof ber chamber. We will not follow her, nor tell how often during that wretched night she paced her room ; nor how when weaned nature sunk, exhaust ed into sleep, she started from her terrifying dieams. S William, too, was little more composed. He wrote aid destroyed letter a tier letter, rie was too honorable lo disguise or palliate the truth, and at as early a hour as he thought be could be admitted he bdstened to the home ot Alice, determined to tell ber all. But he was disappointed. The servant told htm she was too indisposed lo see company. He then sent a note, but no answer was returned ; a second met the same fate. IH called again and was at last admitted, and inUbat sad and moutmul interview he" solemnly, piomised that never again should the poisoner of iheij- happiness pass bis lips.- lie was, forgiven aau aain Al ice was happy : again was conodence lestorea ; his moral sense was unimpaired ; he had bro ken no vow. A few happy months sped by, and again Al ice wa seated by the window, listening with breathless eagerness to every passing step. Days had passed since! she had seen or beard from William, though she knew him to be in town. She feared efery thing but the true cause : she did not yet dream that he could break bis word. But alas ! the guilt of a bro ken vow was upon hisj sout, and he who bad never lied, had foiteited his word of honor in ihn tivht nf lliwi and man: for. in moment of temptation he had yiMdeQ to the voice of the charmer. I . H I Long and bitter was the struggle in the heart of Alice, but love finally triumphed ; he was again forgiven, and again he renewed his prom ise to touch not, taste not, handle not ' And Alice loved as well as ever.- but did she trust Alas no!
