The wear and tear of an over-Uurthencd life had been too much. She had moved on and on in her daily task, like a machine made of iron and steel, but human ma chinery cannot bear so much taxation, nature will rebel ; and here ia ihe victim. a monomaniac, on the subject of teaching for life. Another we see seated on the divan near the window, with her untiring craze fixed on the Serpentine road which leads from the front gate. She has watched there for months for the return of her lusband who has promised her to come to morrow and take her to her home and family ; she can never loose confidence in her husband, and daily she waits and watches, asking anxiously, "Oh, when will "to-morrow come? But weeks. at .months and years may pass by and nnd this deluded widow still waiting, still watching for. the form of one who sleeps the sleep of death. One evening I was visiting one of the wards after tea. This ward contained about twenty-five ladies, some of them very gay, cheerful add interesting, and many ot them very tond of dancing, and as this amusement was considered by the physicians to be beneficial, there were musicians employed to ycrformon the violin and guitar, which, accompan ied by the piano, played by some of the patients, made quite interesting mnsic. It was on 6ucli an occasion as .this that I was present, and having taken my seat in the hall, as 1 did not dance, I was go ing to look on. In a few moments 1 no ticed near me the form of a lady, array ed in white, with a long flowing trail to her skirt, and on her head she had sub stituted her bed sheet for a bridal veil. This was her pet style of dress, the cause of this pcifoimancb we will soon discov er. She approached mc in the most digni fied manner, and laying her hand gently, yet firmly, upon my arm, she Whispered j in my car, introducing herself as the "IVinces Annie," and asked inetoac-i company her to her room. I m' J J a. 1 .1.1. i one was a stranger to me, nnu uuuo I had been a great deal with those peo pie, yet I admit, when I looked up at the wild, flashing black eye, and read the firmness expressed in those lips, I hesi tated, knowing she was one who6eldom as myself.

Mv father was a high-minded, wealthy Virginian s'ave ladder, who once served his countrymen in an, honorable capacity. He was highly ret? petted by the most learned and eminent men of the S'ate. My mother descended from ti e royal line of Pocahontas. She was naturally a kind woman at heart, yet very proud, and her pride, at times, arose to haught iness and contempt for her nn treat friend, if they frustrated her pet designs. t had one brother, U.pli,' who was a petted, spoilt child, and nevergrew to be anything more ; we were brought up in "the lap of luxury," and knew no wish force obedience made him still more re vengeful. After I was left alone I ' seated myself on an ottoman near the little attio win dow and gated out upon the wide spread landscape;' as it lay bathed n Ihe full moons sflvtry light.
