LOVE AND SELF-LOVE.
" Friendless, when jou are gone ? Bat, .Tean, ^ou surely do not mean that Elfie has no u aim ou au^ human creature bejond the uuiverial oue of coiumon cbaritj ?" I said as shti Ceased, and laj p:iuting on ber pillows, vith her suukeu nyea fixed eagerly upon iny own,
*'Ay, Sir, 1 do; forher grandfatherbasnever bj word or deed atknowledged bei-, or paid the leas', heed to lhe It-tter her pour mother sent bim from her dying bed seven years ago. He is a lone old mau, and Ibis child is tbe tast of bid uame ; yet he will not see her, and cared little whether ^he be dead or liviug. It's a bi ter shame Sir, aud the memory of it will rise up befor.- l.im wheu ho comes to lie where 1 am lying now."
'• And you have kept the girl safe inlhe shelter of your honest home all these years? Heaven witl r^^member that, and in tbo great record of goo'i d.*ed^, will Set the name of Ailam Lyiid.-'ay far bfJow thatof Jeau Burns," 1 said pretsing ihe thin baud tbat bad succored the orphau iu UtT need.
Bul Jfau took no hnnor to berself for tbat charily, ami answered simply to my words of commendation.
"Sir, htr lumber was my foster-child ; and wheu she Mt thai Stern otd man for lova of Walter Uom-*, I weut loo, f.tr lovo of her- Ah, dear, heart I sbe had sore need of me in tbe Weary wanderti.gs which ended only when she lay down bv her dead husband's side and left ber bairn to me. Then I came bt-r^ to olieiish her amnng kind souls whero I was burn ; aud here she has firown up an innn cent youug, thiug saft* from tbe wicked world, tl'O comfort of my life, and the one thing I grieve at leaving wb«u the time thatis draw¬ ing very near shall cume."
*' Wonl i not an appeal to Mr. Lymlsay reach bim now, think you ? Might not Effie go lo Lim berseU? Surely, tbe si^ht of aoch s winsome cr*-alure would touch Uis heart, bowevttr hard."
But Jean Tl se up iu ber bed crying, almost fiercely,—
'*Ko, Sirlnol My child shall never go to beg a sbeller iu lhat hard man*3 bouse. I knew too well the cold looks, tbe cruel words that would sting her bigb spirit and try her heart as they did her mntber's. No, Sir,— rather tbau that she shail go W'ith Lady Gower.'"
"Lady Gower? "What has abe to do with Effie, Jean?" i aaked, with increasing inter¬ est.
t, " She will take Effie, as ber maid, Sir. A hard life for my child ! but what can I do ?" Aud Jean'a kr^en glance seemed trying to read miue.
" A waiting-maid ? Heaven forbid I" I ejaculated aa a vision of that baughty lady and ber three wild Eons swept through my miud.
I lose, paced the room in silence for a liltl time, then took a suddeu resolution, and turning lo tbe bed, exclaimed,—
" Jean, I will adopt Effie. I ara old enough to be ber father; aud then she sball never feel the want of one, if you will givo her to my care."
To vay snrprise, .lean's eager face wore a lookof disapoinlment as abe lisetned, and Aiih a sigb replied.—
** That's a kind tbooght, Sir, and a generous one; bot it cannot be as yoa wish. Yoa may be twice her age, bul stili loo youog for lhat. How could Effia look into thai face of yours, 80 bonuie, Sir, tor all it is so grave, and seeing never a wiiukle on tbe forehead, nor a while hair among tho black, how coi-ld she call you father ? No, it wtll not do, thongb so kindly moant. Your frieuds would laugh at you Sir, and idlu tongues might speak ill of my bairn." "Then wbat can 1 do, .lean ?" lasked, re¬ gretfully.
" Make her your wife, Sir." I turued sharply and started at the woman as her abrupt reply reached my ear. Though trembling lor the consequences af her boldly Bpuken wish, Jean did uot shiiuk from my astonished gaze; and when! saw the wistfnluess ol that WAU face, the smile died on my lips, checked by the tender courage which Lad protupied the utterance of her dying hope.
'* My goud Jean, yon forget that Effie, is a child, and I a mooiiy, solitary man, wiih no gifta, to win a wife or make a home bappy." "ElEa is sixteen, Sir,—a fair good lassie for her years ; an.l yoa—ah. Sir, i,ou may uall yourself uufit fora wife and bome, but the poorest saddest creature in this place knows lhat the mau whode band is alwuj- opeu, whoso heart is always pitiful is not the one to live atone, but to wiu and to deserve a happy home and a true wife. Oh, Sir, for¬ give me, if I have been too bold; but my time is short, and I love my child so well, I cannot leavt) lbe desire of my heart unsptjken, for it is my last.
As the words fell brokenly from her lips, and tears slreamed down ber pallid cheek, a great pity took poaeesziion of me, the old loug, ing lo find some solace for my solitary life letarued again aud p«ace seemed to smile on me Irom liitle Effie's eyes.
"Jean," I said, " give ipe till to-morrow to consider this new thought. X fear it cannot be; but I have learned to love the child too well lo see her thrust out from the shelter of your home 10 walk throagh this evil world alone. I will consider your proposal, and endeavor lo devise aome fatnre for the ohild wbicb 'shall eet your heart at rest. Bat be- for« yoa orgo this liuther, let m« tell yoa
tbat I am not what yoa think me. I am a cold selfish man, often gloomy, often stern,— a most nafit kuardian for a tender oreatare like thla little girL The deeds of mine wbicb yoa call kind are not trne charities ; it frets me to see pain, and I desire my ea^e abova all earthly tbings. You are gratefnl for tbe little I have done for you and deceive yoarself regarding my true worth; bat of one thing yoa may rest assured,—I am an honest- man? wbo bol Is his name too high to s<ain it wllh a false word or a dishonorable deed."
"Ido believe yoo, Sir," Jean answered, eagerly.
"And if I left tbecbild to you, I could die this night in peace. Indeed, sir, I never sbonld have dared to speak of this, bat for the belief that yon loved the girl, Wbat else oould I tbink, wben yon came so often and were ao kiud t.) us ?"
" I pannot blame you Jeau; it was nfy nsnal forgetfalness -f others whioh so misled yoa. I was tired of the world aud came bilh¬ er to find pflaoe in solitude. Effie cheered me with her winsnme ways, and I learned to look on her as tbe blithe spirit whose artless wiles won me »o forget a bitter past and a regretful present." I paased, aud then added with a smite, *'But in our wise sohemes, we have overlooked oue point: Effie does not love me and iiiav- decline the fature yoa desire me to ofl!er her."
A vivid hope hope lit those dim eyes, as Jean met my smile with one far brighter, and joyfully replied:—
" She does lovo yoo, Sir; for yon bave given her the greatest happiness she has ever known. Last nt^ht she sat looking silently into the fire there was a s'rauge gloom on ber bounie face, and, wben I asked what she waa dream¬ ing of, she turned to me wilh a look of pain and fear, as if dismayed at some great loss, bat she only said, " He is going, Jean t What ahall I do ?"
"Poor child ! she will miss ber friend and teacher, when I'm gone ; and I shall miss the only hnman creature that haa seemed to care for me for years," I sighed,—adding, as I paused upon the threshold of the door, " say notbing of tbis to Effie till I come to morrow, Jean."
I weot away and far oat in the lonely moor sat down to think. Like a weird magician. Meiuory led me back iuto the past, calling np the bopes and passions buried there. My childhood,—fatherless and motherless, bnt not unhappy ; for no wish was ungratified, no idle whim denied. My boyhood,—with no shadows over it bnt tbose my own wayward will called up. My manhood,—when the gieat joy of my life arose, my love for Agnes, a mirlsummer dream of bloom and bliss, so short lived and so sweet! I felt again the pang that wrung my heart when she coldly gave me back lhe plt>dge I thought so sacred and so sure, and the music of her marriage bells lolled the knell of my lost love. I seemed to hear them still wafted across the purple moor tbrough the sileuce of those fifteen f ^ars.
My lifo looked gray and joyless as the wide waste lying bushed arouud me, unblessed with the veidure of a single bope, a sinele tove ; and as I looked down the coming years, my way seemed very aolitary, very dark.
Saddenly a lark sprang upward from the beath, cleaving the silence with its jubiluni song. The sleepiug echoes woke, the dim luour seemed to smile, and the blithe music fell like d^-w upon my gloomy spirit, wakening a new desire,
'* What this bird is to tbe moor might little Effie be to me," I thougbt within myself, lon¬ ging to postiess tbe cleerful spirit wbicb had power to gladden me.
*' Y'es," I mused, " the old home will aeem more solitary now than ever ; and if I canuot win the lark's song withont a goldeu fetter, I will give it one. and while it sing^ for love of me it shall not know a want or fear."
Heaven help me 1 I forgot the poor return I made my lark for the sweet liberty it loat.
All that night I pondered the alleretl fnture Jean bad laid before me, and the louger I looked tbe fairer it seemed to grow. Wealth I cared notbing for; the world's opinion I defied ; ambition had departed, and passion 1 believed lay dead ; then wby ahoald I deny myself lhe c ns.lalion which seemed offered to mf ? I wnuld accept it; and as I resolved, the dawn looked in at me, fresb and fair aa little Effie's face.
I met Jean with a smile, and as ahe read ita significance aright, there sbone a aulden peaco upon her conntenanee, moro touching than her grateful words.
EflSa came singing from the burn-eida, as unconscious of tbe change wbich awaited ber as lbe llowers gathered inher plaid and crown itig ber bright hair.
I drew her to my side, and in tbe simplest words apked her if sbe would go with me when Jean's long gaardianahip was ended. Joy, sor¬ row and snrprise stirred the sweet composure of her face, aud quickened the tranquil beat¬ ing of ber beart. But as I ceased, joy con- qaertjd grief and winder; for sheclapi.ed her hands like a glad child, exclaiming,—
" Go with you, Sir ? Ob, if you knew how I long lo see the home you have so often pic¬ tured 'o me, yoa would never doubt tay wil¬ lingness to go."
"Bat, Effie, you do not understand. Are you willing to go with me as my wife?" I aaid,—with a secret aense of something like remorse, as I uttered that word, which once me 'Ut ao much to me, and now seemed such au empty title lo bestow ou ber.
The flowers dropped from ibe loo.^ened plaid, aa Effie looked with a startled glance iuto my face ; the color left her cheeks, and tbe smile died on her lips, but a timid joy lit her eye, as she softly echoed my last words,—
''Your wife I Itsounds very solemn, thouah ao sweet. Ah, Sir, I am not wise or good enough for that!"
A child's humility breathed in ber speech, but something of a woman's fervor sbone in ber uplif'.ed countenance, and sounded in lhe SudiJen tremor of her voxe.
"Effie I want you as yon ara." I said,— "no wider, dear,—no better. I want your-in¬ nocent affection to appease tbe hunger of an empty heart, yonr blithe companionship to cheer my solitary bome. Be slill a cbild to me, and let me give yon lbe protection of my name."
Effie Inrned to her old friend, aud laying ber young face on the pillow ulose beside the worn one grown so dear to her,asked in a tone half pleading, balf regretful,—
** Dear Jean, shall I go ao far away from you aud the home you gave me wben I bad no otht-r ?"
"My bairn, I shall not be here, and it vill never seem like home with old Jean gone. It is lhe last wish I shall ever know, to see you safe with this good gentleman who loves my child. Go, dear heart, and be happy; and Heaven bless and keep you botb I"
Jean beld her fast a moment, and then, with a whispered prayer, |ui bergently away. Effie came to me, saying, with a look more eloquent than her meek worda,—
*' Sir, I will be yoar wife, and love you very truly all my life."
I drew the li-tle creature to my breast, and felt a lender pride in knowing sbe was mine. Somelhinif iu i.be shy caress thoae soft arms gave tonched my cold nalare witb a generous warmib, and tbe innocence of that confiding heart was an appeal lo sll that made my man¬ hood worth possessing.
Swiflly those few weeks passed, and wbeu old Jeau was laid to her last aleep, little Effie wept ber grief away upon her hu-ibaud's bosom and soon learned lo smile in her new Euglish bome. Ita gloom departed whm ahe came, and for A while it waa a very happy place. My bitter moods aeemed banished by tbe magio of the gentle presence that made sunshine there, and I was conscions ofa freah grace added to the life so wearisome bofore,
I ahoald have been a father to tbe child, watchful, wiae and lender; bat old Jean was right,—I was too yoang to feel a father's calm affeotion or to know a fathert patient oaro,   I
ahould have beeu her teacher, atriving to cul-^ tivate tbe nature given to my oare, and flt i for tbe trials Heaven aenda to all. I should have been a friend, "if not hing more, and given her tbose innocent delighta that make youlh beautifal and ils memory aweet.
I was a master, oonteut to give little, while receiviug all she conld bestow.
Forgettiug her lonelioess, I fell back into my old way of life. I ahuitned the world, because its gayeties had lost their zest. I did not care to travel, for home now possessed a charm it never had before. I knew there was au eager face that alwaya brightened when I came, light feet tbal flew to welcome me, and bauda tbat loved to minister lo every wantof miue. Even when I sat engroased among my books, there was a pleasant consciousness that I was the possessor ofa bonsehold sprite whom a look ooald summon aud a gesture banish. I loved her aa I loved a picture or a flower,—a little better than my horse and bonnd,—bnt far leas thau I loved my most unworthy self.
And she,—always so blilbe when I waa by, ao diligent in studying my desires, so full of simple arts to wm my love aod prove her grat¬ itude,-^abe never a.iked for any boon, aud aeemed content lo live alono with me in that atill place, so utterly unlike the home sho had left. I had uot learned to read lhat true heart then. I saw those happy eyea grow wistful wben I weut, leaviug her alone ; I missed the roses from her cheek, faded for wantof gentler care ; and wheu tbe buoyant spirit whicb had beeo ber ubiefesl charm departed, I fancied, in my blindness, tbat she pined for the free air of tbe Highlands, and tried to win it back by transient tenderness and costly gifts. But I bad robbed my lark of heaven's sunshine, and it could not sing.
I met Agnes again. She was a widow, and to my eya eeemed fairer than wben I aaw her last, and far more kiud. Some soft regret seemed sbiuing ou me from those Instroua eyes as if abe hoped to win my pardon for that early wrong. I uever could forget the deed that darkened my best year.^, but the old charm stole over me at times, nnd, turning from the meek cbild at my feet, I owned the powei of the slalely woman whose smile seemed a com¬ maud.
I meant no wrong to Effie, bnt, looking oa her as a child, liorgotthe higher claim Ihad given her as a wife, and, walking blindly on my ael¬ fish way, I crushed tbe Utile Ilower I should have cherished iu my breast.
"Effid, my old friend, Agues Vaughau ia comiug here to-day; so make yourself fair, tbat you may do houor to my cboice ; for abe desires to see you, and I wish my Scotch hare¬ bell to look lovely to this English rose," I said half playfully, half earueitly, as we stood to¬ gether lookiug out across tbe flowery lawn, ©ne summer day.
" Do you like me to be pretty, Sir ?" sbe auswered, with a Hash of pieasuro on her up¬ turned face, " I will try to make myaelf fair wilh the gifts you are always heaping on me ; but even th m I fear I shall not do you honor.
chosen near as on the mer bank. I followed my own wayward will, and Effie'a wistful eyes grew sadder aa the weeks went by.
One sultry evening, aa we strolled together on tbe balcony, I was seized with a aaddeu longing to hear Agnes sing, and bid Effie come wilh me for a moonlight voyage down the river.
She had been very silent all the evening, with a penaive ahadow ou her face and rare smiles on her lipa. But aa I apoke, she pauaed abruptly,; and, otenching her small hands, turued upon me with defiant eyes,—crying, almost fiercely,—
"No, I will not go to liaten to that woman'a songa. I bate ber 1 yea, more than I can te)U for, till Bbe oame, I thongbt yon loved; but now you think of her alone, aod chide me when I look nnhappy. You treat me like a child; bnt I am not one. Oh, Sir, be more kind, for I have only you to love 1"—and as her voice died iu tbat aad appeal, abe clasped her hands before her face with aucb a burst of 'ears tbat I had no words to auswer her.
Diaturbed by the audden pasaion of the hitherto meek girl, I aat down on the wide sti'ps of tbe balcony and essayed to draw ber to my kuee, hoping ahe \yould weep this away aa she had olten done a lesser sorrow. But abe reaiated my careas, and, stauding erect before me, checked her tears, saying, in a voioe still trembling with resentment and re¬ proach,—
" You promised Jeau to be kind lo me, and yon are urnel; for v. ben I ask for love, yon ({ive me jewels, booka, or flowers, as you wonld give a pettish child a toy, and go away as if yoa were weary of me. Oh, it is not right, Sir 1 aud I cannot^ no, I will not tear itl"
If sbe had spared reproaches, deserved tboagb tbey were, and humbly pleaded to be loved I should bave been more just and gea¬ tle; but ber indignant words, tbe sharper for tbeir truth, roused tbe deapotio spirit of tbe mau, and made me sternest when I shoald have been moat kind.
"Effie," I said, looking coldly up into her troubled face, '* I have given yon the right to be thns frauk with me; but before you exercise that right, let me tell you what may sileuce your reproaches and teach you to know me better. I desired to adopt yon as my child ; Jeau would not consent to that, bat bid me marry you, and so give you a home, and win for myaelf a companion who should make that home leaa solitary. I could protect yoa iu no other way, and I married you. I meant it kindly Effie; for I pitied you,—ay, and loved you, too, aa I hoped I had fully proved."
" You bave, sir,—or, you have not I But I hoped I might in lime be more to you than a dear child," sighed Effie, while softer tears flowed aa she spoke.
" Effie, I told Jean I was a bard, cold man," and I was one as those worda paased my lips. •• I told her I was unfitted lo make a wife happy.   But she aaid you would be content
nor please your frieud, I am so small and   wilh what I could offer; and sol gave you
young.'
A careless reply was on my lips, but, seeing wbat a long way down the little figure was, I drew it nearer, sayiog, with a smile, which I knew would make au answering one,—
"Dear, there must be tbe bud before the flower ; so uever grieve, for your youlh keepa my spirit young. To me you may be a child forever; but you must learu to be a stately lit¬ tle Madam Venlnnr to my friends."
She lauijhed a gayer laugb than I had heard for mauy a day, aud soon departed, intent on keeping well tbe promise she had giveu. An bonr later, as I sat busted among my books, a liltle figure glided in, and stood before me witb its jeweled arms demurely folded on its bieast. It was Effie, as I bad never seen her bofore.— Some new freak posi^essed her, for with her girlinh dress sbe seemed to Uave laid her giil- hood by. The brown locks were gathered up, wreathing tbe small head like a coronet; aer¬ ial b'co and silken vesture shimmered in tbe liuht, and became her well. Sbe looked and moved a fairy qaeen, stately and small.
I watched ber in a ailent maze, for tbe face with its shy b'ushe.') and downcast eyes did not seem the childish oue turned fraukiy to my own an hour ago. With a sigh I looked up at Agnes' picture, the sole ornament of tbat room, aud when I withdrew my gaze the blooming vision had departed. I sbould bave followed it to make my peace, but I fell into a fit of bitter musing, and forgot it till Agnes* voice sounded at my door.
She came wilh a biother, and seemed eager to see my yoaug wife; bat Effie did not ap¬ pear, and I excused her absence as a girlish freak, smiling at it nith them, while I chafed inwardly at her neglect, forgetting that I might bave been lhe cause.
Pacing dowu the garden paths with Agnes at my side, onr ateps were arrested by a tud- den sight of Effie, fast asleep among the flow¬ ers. Sbe looked a flower berself, Iviug wllb her flushed cheek pillowed on ber arm, sun¬ shine gtliteri:ig ou tbe tipples ofher hair, and lho changeful lustre of her dainty dress.— Tears mois'eued ber long lashea, but ber lips amiled, as if in the blissful laud of dreams she had foond some solace for ber grief.
" A ' Sleepiug Beaaty ' wortby the awaken- ing of any prince 1" whispered Alfred Vau¬ ghau, pausing wiib wdrairingeyes,
A slight frown swept over Agnes' face, bat vanished as sbe said, with that low toned laugh that nevet seemed nnti-asical before.— ** We must pardou Mrs. Veiituer'a seeudng rudeness, if sbe welcomes us with graceful scenes like thia. A child wife's whims are often prettier than the world's foimal ways; so do not chide her, Basil, wbeu she wakes." I was a proud mau then, touched ea.«iily by trivial things. Agnea' pitying manner stung me, and the tone in wbiuh I wakened Effie was far baraber than it f-bould bave beeu. She sprang up; aud with a geutle dignity most new to me received ber guests, and played the part of hostess witb a grace that well atoned for her offence.
Agnea watched her silently as sbe went be¬ fore us witb yoang Vaughao, and even I, rtifiled as my temper was, lelt a certaiu pride iu the loving creature who for my sake con¬ quered her timidity and strove todo me honor. But neither by look nor word did I sl ow my salisfaction, for Agues demanded the constaut service of lips and eyes, and I was only too ready to devote tl\f m to the woman who atill felt her power and dared to sbow it.
All that day I was beside ber, forgetful in many waya of the genlle conrlesiea I owed the child whom X bad male my wife. I did not see the wrong then, but others did, and the deference I failed to show she could ask of Ibem.
Iu tbe evening, as I stoo 1 near Agnes wbile she aang the songs we both remembered well, m} eye fell on a mirror lhat confronted me, and in it X aaw KSe bending forward with a look tbat startled me. Sume strong emotion controlled her, for with lips apart and .eager eyes abe gazed ko'^nly at the couutennnoes sbe believed unconscious of ber Euratiuy.
Agnea caugbt tbe vision lhat had arrested lhe half uttered complimeut npon my lips, and, turning, looked at Effie with a smile jaat touched with acoru.
The color ror-'e vividly to Effie's cheek, but her eyea did not fall,—they songht my face, and rested there. A balf-smile crossed roy lips ; witb a sadden impulse X beckoned, and ahe came witb such an altered counteuauce X fancied tbat I had uol seen aright.
At my desire she aang the ballads abe ao loved, and in her giilish voice there was an uuderlone of deeper melody than wben I heard them first among ber uative hills; for the child's heart waa ripening faat iuto the woman's.
Agnes went, at length, and I beard Effie'a aigh of relief when we were left alone, but only bid her " go aod rest," while I paoed to aud fro, still mormuiiug the refrain of Agues' aong.
Ths VanghaoB came often, and we went often to them in the eommer-home they had
all I bad to bestow. It was not enough ; yet X caunot make it more. Forgive me, child, and try to bear your disappointments as 1 have leamed to bear mine."
Effice bent suddenly, saying, with a look of anguish, " Do yoa regret that I am your wife, sir?"
" Heaven knowa I do, for I cannot make you happy,"! answered, mournfully.
" Let me go away where I can never grieve or trouble you again ! I will—iudeed, I will— for anything ia eaaier to bear tban this. Oh, Jeau, wby did you leave me when you went?" —and with lhat despairing cry Effie stretched ber arms into the empty air, aa if seeking that tost friend.
My anger melted, and X tried to soolbe her, aaying gently, aa I laid her tear-wet cheek to mine,—
'• My child, deatb alone muat part us two. We will be patient witb each otber, and so may leam to be bappy yet."
A loug silence fell upou ua botb. My thoughts were busy wilh the Ihought of what a differeat bome mine might have been, if Agues bad beeu true; and Effie—God only knows how sharp a conflict paaaed in tbat you Ig heart! I could not guess it till tbe bitter sequel of that hour came.
A timid hand upon iay own aroused me, and, looking down, I met sucb an altered face, it touched me like a mule reproach. All the passion had died oat, and a great patience seemed to have arisen there. It looked so met k and wan, I bent and kissed it; but no smile answered me as Effie humbly said,—
" Forgive me, sir, aud tell mo bow I cau make yon happier. For lam truly grateful for all you have done for me, aud will try to be a dotiile wife to you."
"Be happy yourself, Effie, and I shall be content. X am too grave and old to be a fit companion for yon dear. You ahall have gay faces and young friends to make this quiet place more cheerful. X sbould bave thought of that before. Dauce, sing, be merry, Effie and never let your life be darkened by Basil Ventnor's changeful moods."
" And yoa ?" she whispered, looking up. " 1 will sit among my books, or seek alone tbe few friends I care to aee, and never mar your gayety witb my gloomy presence, dear. We mnst begiu at once to go our separate ways ; for, with so mauy years betweeu us, we can never fiud the same paths pleasant very long. Let me be a father to you, and a friend—I cannot be alover, child."
Effie rose and went .silently away; bnt aoon came again, wrapped iu her mantle, saying, aa sbe looked down at me, witb something of her former cheerfulness,—
"I am good now. Come and row me down the river. It is too beautiful a night to be spent in tears and naugbtiut'ss."
"No, Effie, you shall never go to Mrs. Vaughan's again, if yon dislike her ao. No friendship of mine need be shared by you, if il gives yon piiin,"
"Nothing sball pain me anymore," sbe answered with a patient aigh. "I will be your merry girl again, and try to love Agnea for ynur sake. Ahl do cou.e father, or I sh*ll not feel forgiven."
Smiling at ber April moods, I obeyed, tbe small bands clasped about my own, and tbrougb the fragrant linden walk weut musing tu tbe river aide.
Silently we floated down, and at lhe lower landing-place fouud Alfred Vaughan, juat mooring bis own boat. By him I sent a mes¬ sage lo his sister, wbile we waited for her at lhe shore.
Effie 3tood above on the sloping oank, and as Agnea entered the green viata of the flow¬ ery path, she turaed and clung lo me with puddeu fervor, kiased me pa-ssionately, and then stole silently inlo lhe boat.
The moonlight tumed the waves to silver, and in its magic rays tbe face of my first love grew young again. She aat before me with water IJliea in her ahining hair, aiuging aa she sang of old, while the dash of falling oara kept time to her low song. Aa we neared the ruined bridge, whose single arch still cast its heavy ahadow far across the atream, Agnea bent to¬ ward me, aoftly saying,— "Basil, you remember this ?'* How could I forget tbat happy uigbt long years ago, when ahe aud X went floating down tbe same bright stream, two happy lovera jaat betrothed ? Aa aheapokeit all came back more beaniiful than ever, and I forgot the ailent figure sittiug there behind me. X hope Agnes bad forgotten, too; for, cruel as sbe was to me, I never wished to think her hard enough to hate that geutle obild.
"I remember, Agues,*' X said with a regret¬ ful aigh. "My voyage has beeu a lonely one since then."
"Are you not happy, Basil?" ahe aaked with a tender pitty thrilling her low voice.
" Happv ?" I echoed, bitterly,—" how can I be happy, remembering what I might have been ?"
Agnes bowed her head npon her hands, and silently the boat shot into the blaclc shadon-
of the arob. A andden eddy seemed to away ua sligbtly from onr coarae, and the wavea dashed sullenly againat the gloomy walla ; a moment more and we glided into calmer wat ers and unbroken light. I iooked up from my task to speak, but the words were frozen on my lips by a cry from Agues, who, wild- eyed and pale, seemed. poijatlDg to some pban¬ tom wbioh X could not aee. I tarned, the pbantom waa Kffie*a emptyseat. The sbiuing stream grew dark before me, and a great pang of remorse wruug my heart as that sight met my eyes.
"Effle!'*Icried," with a ory lhat rent the stillneag oflhe night, aud aent the name ring¬ ing down the river. But nothing anawered me, and the wavea rippled softly aa they hur¬ ried by. Farover the wide stream went my despairing glance, and saw nothing bnt the liliies swaying as they slept, and the black arob wbere my ohild went down.
Agues lay trembling at my feet, but I never heeded her,—for Jean's dead voice sounded in my ear, demanding tbe life confided to my care. X liatened, benumbed witb guilty fear, aud as if summoned by that weird ory, there came a white Hash throngb the waves, aud Effie's face rose np before me.
Palid and wild with the agony of that swift plange, it confronted me. No cry for belp parted the pale lipa, bat those wide eyea were luminoua with a love whose fire that deatbful river coutd not quench.
Like oue In an awful dream, X gazed till the ripples closed abjve It. One instant the terror beld ta**,—the uext I was far down in tboae waves, so silver fair above, so black and terri¬ ble b^low. A brief, blind strnggle pasaed before I graaped a tresa oflhat long hair, then an arm, and the white shape, with a clutch like deatb. As the dividing waters gave us to the ligbt again. Agues flang herself far over the boat-aide and drew my lifeless har¬ den in; I followed, and we laid it dowo, a pitious sight for hnman eyes to look npon.— Of that swift voyage home X can remember notbingbut the still faceou Agnes'breast, tho sight ofwhich nerved my dizzy brain, and made my muscles iron.
For mauy weeks there wasa darkened cham¬ ber in my bouse, and anxioua flgurea gliding to and fro, wan with long vigils and the fear of death. I often orept in to look upou the liltle figure lying there, to watch tbe feverish roses blooming ou the waated oheek, the fitfal fire burning in the unconscious eyea, to hear the broken worda so full of pathos to my em, aud then to steal away and atruggle to forget. My bird fluttered on the threshold of its cage but Love lured it back, ft r its gentle miseiou was not yet fulfilled.
Tbe child Effie tay dead beneath the ripples of the river, butthe woman rose up from that bed of suffering like one consecrated to life's higb daties by the bitter baptism of tbat dirk hour.
Slender and pale, with serio.ua eyes aud quiet steps, she moved throngh the home which once eohoed to the glad voice aud dan¬ ciug feet of that vanished ahape. A aweet sobriety ahaded her yoang face, and a meek smile sat upou her lips, bul the old blithesom- ness was gone.
She never claimed her cbUdi.=ib place on my knee, never tried the winesome wilea tbat used to chase away my gloom, never came to ponr her innocent delighta aud griefs into my ear, or bless me wiih the frank affection which grew very precious wben I fouod it loat.
Docile aa ever, and eager to gratify my lightest wish, she left no wifely duty unfulfil¬ led. Always near me, if I breathed her name but Vanishing wheu I grew ailent as if ber task was dono. Always smiling a cheerful farewell when I went, a quiet welcome wheu I came. 1 missed tbe April face that once watched me go, and the warm embrace that greeted me again, and at my heart the sense of Joss, grew daily deeper aa I felt the grow¬ ing change.
Effie remembered the words X had apoken ou that mournful nigbt; remembered tbat our paths must lie apart,—tbat her husband was a frieud, and notbing more. She treaa ured every careleaa hint X bad given, and fol¬ lowed it moat faithfully. She gathered gay, young frienda about her, went out into tbe brilliant world, aud I believed ahe was con¬ tent.
Xf I bad ever felt sbe was a harden to tbe selfiah freedom X desired, I was punished now for I had lost a blessiug which no commou pleasnre could replace. I sat alone, and no blithe voice roade music in tbe silence of my room, no bright locks swept my shoulder, aud no aoft cares assured me tbat I was beloved.
I looked for my household sprite iu girlish garb, wilh its free hair and sunny eyes, but found only a fair womau, graceful iu rich at¬ tire, crowned with my gifta, aud standing afar ofi" among ber bloomiug peers. I could not guesa tbe solitude of' that true hearl, nor aee tbe captive spirit gazing at rae from those steadfast eyea.
No word of tbe cause of that despairing deed passed Effie'a lips, and I had no need to ask it. Agnes was silent, and soou left us but her brotber waa a frequent guest. Effie liked his gay companionship, and I denied her nothing,—nothing but the one desire of ber life.
So lhat first year passed ; and though the ease aud liberty I coveted were undisturbed, I was not satisfied. Solitude grew irks nne, and study ceased to charm. I tried old pleas- area, but tbey bad lost their zest,—renewed old friendsbipa, but they wearied me. X for¬ got Agnes, and ceased to think her fair. I looked at Effie, aud sighed for my lost youth. My liltle wife grew very beautiful to me, for abe waa blooming fast iuto a gracious woman¬ hood. I felt a secret pride in knowing she was miue, and watched ber as I fancied a fond broiher might, glad that ahe waa so good, ao fair, ao mucb beloved. X ceased to moura the plaything I had loat, and aomething akin to reverence mingled wilh the deepening admi¬ ration of the man.
Gay gaests had filbd the house with festal light and soun I one winter's night, and when the last bright fignre had vanished from the threshold of the door, I slill stood there, look¬ ing over the snow-sbronded lawn, bopiug to cool the fever of my blood, and ease the rest¬ less puin that haunted me.
I shut out the keen air and wintry eky, at length and silently ascended to tbe deserted rooms above. Bat in the soft gloom of a vesti¬ bule my steps were stayed. Two figures, in a flowery alcove, fixed my eye. The light atieamed full upon them, and the fragrant sllUnes-* of the air was hardly stirred by their low tones.
Effie was there, sunk on a low couch, her face bowed upou her bauds; and at her side, speaking with impassioned voice and ardent eyes, leaned Alfred Vanghan.
Tbe sight struck me Uke a blow, and tbe sharp anguish of that moment proved how deeply I had learned to love.
"Effie, it is a sinful lie that binds you to that mau; he does not love yon, and it ahould be broken,—for thia slavery will wear away the life now grown so dear to rae,"
Tbe word.4, hot with indignant passion, smote me like a wintry blaat, but uot ao cold¬ ly as the broken voioe that answered them:
" He aaid death aloue must part ua two, and, remembering that, X cannot listeu to an¬ other love."
Like a guilty ghoat I atole away, and in the darknesa of my aolitary rooji struggled witb my bitter grief, my new-born love. I never blamed my wife,—that wife who bad heard the tender name so seldom, she could acarce feel it hers. X had fettered her free heart, for¬ getting it would one day cease to be a child's. I bade her look upon me as a father; she had learned the lesaon well; and now what right had I to reproaoh her for listening to a lover*8 voice, when her huabaud'a waa so cold ?— What mattered it that alowly, almost uncon¬ sciously, X had learned to love her with tbe paaaion of a youth, the power of a mau ? I had alienated that foud natare from my own, and now it was too late.
Heaven only knows the biClAmess of that hour;—I oannot tell it. Bat through the darkueas of my anguish and remorse that newly kindled love buraed like a blessed fire, and, while it tortured, purified. By ita light X saw the error of my life; self love waa writ¬ ten on the actions of the past, and I knew that my punishment was very juat. With a child's repentant tears, X confessed it to my Father, and He solaced me, showed me the path to tread, and made me nobler for tbe blessedness and pain of that still hour.
Dawn found me an altered inan; for in na¬ tures like mine the raiu of a great sorrow melts the ice of yeara, and their hidden atrength blooms in a late harvest of patience, aelf-denial, and humility, I reaolved to break the tie whicb bound poor Effie to a joyless fate; and gratitnde for a s.-'lfisb deed, which wore the guise of charily, ahould no longer mar her peace, X would alone for the wrong I bad doue her, the suffering sbe bad endnred; and she should never knt>w tbat I had gueaaed her tender aecret, uor leara the love whioh made my sacrifice ao bitter, yet so jaat.
Alfred oame no more; aud as X watched the growing pallor of ber obeek, her patient ef¬ forls to be cheerful and serene, X honored that meek creature for her constancy to wbat ahe deemed the duty of her life.
X did not tell her my resolve at once, for I could uot give ber upso soon. Xt waa a weak delay, but X had uot learned the beauty of a perfeot sel f-forgelfulness; and Ihough I clnng lo my purpose steadfastly, my beart still cherished a desperate hope that X migbt bs spared this lof^s.
In the midst of this secret confliot, ibere came a letter ftom old Adam Lynday, asking to see hia daughter's child; for life was wan¬ ing alowly, and be desired to forgive, aa he hoped to be forgiven when the last hoar came. The letter waa to me, and, aa I read it, I saw a way whereby I might be spared the hard task of telUng Effie she was to be free. X feared my new-fouud strength would desert me, and my courage fail, when, lookiug ou the woman who was dearer to me than my Ufe, X tried to give her b.ick the liberty wbose worth she bad learned to knt<w.
Effie sbonld go, and I would write the words I dared not speak She would be iu ber mother's home, free to ahow her joy at her release, and smile upon the lover sbe bad baniabed.
I went to tell ber; for it was X who sought her uow, who watched for her coming aud sigh¬ ed at her depariiug steps,—X who waited for ber smile and followe 1 her wllh wi.-jtful eyes. The child's slighted afl'ectiou waa atoned for now by my unaesn devotion to tbe woman. X gave the letter and she read it silently. " Will yoa go, love ?" I asked, as she fold¬ ed it.
" Yes,—the old man bas no one to care for bim but me, anditissobeaatifultobeloved." A sadden smile touched her lipa, aud a aoft dew shone in the ahadowy eyes, which seemed looking into others and tenderer ones than miue. She could uot know how sadly I ech¬ oed those words, uor how I longed lo tell her of another man who sighed lo be forgiven.
" You muat gather roses for these pale cheeks among the breezy moorlands, dear. They are not so blooming as they were a year ago. Jeau would reproach mo for my want of care," X said, trying to speak cheerfully, though each word aeemed a farewell.
"Poor Jeau! liow long it aeema since ahe kisaed them laat!" sighed Ellie, musing sadly, as she turned her wedding ring.
My heart ached to see bow thin the haud had grown, and how taaily that Uttle fetter would fall off wheu I .let the captive lark at liberty.
X looked till I dared look no longer, and tbeu rose, sayiog.
"You will write ofteu, Effie, for I shall miss you very much."
She cast a quick look into my faoe, asking hurriedly, " Am I to go alone ?"
" Dear, I have much to do and cannot go; but yoa need fear nothing; I aball send Ralph and Mrs, Prior with you, and tbe journey is soon over.   When will yon go ?"
It was the first time she had left me since I took her from Jean's arms, and I longed to keep her always near me; but, remembering the task I had to do, I felt that I muat seem cold till she knew all.
"Soon,—Yery soon,—to-morrow;—let me go to-morrow, sir. I long to be away I" she cried, some awift emotion baniahing the calm¬ ness of her usual manner, as she rose, with eager eyes and a gesture fuU of longing.
"You sb-'iU go, Effie," was all I could say; and with no word of thanks, she hastened away, leaviug me so calm without, so desolate witbin.
Tbe same eagerness possessed her all lhat day; aud the next she went away, cliugiug to me, at the last as she had clung that night upon the river-bank, as if her grateful heart reproached her for tbe joy ahe felt at leaving my unhappy home.
A few days passed, bringing me the comfort ofa faw aweet lines from Effie, signed "Your child." That sight reminded me, that, if I would do au honeat deed, it ahould be gener¬ oosly done. I read again the little missive sbe had sent, and theu I wrote the letter which might be my last; with no hint of my love, beyoud tbe expression of sincerest regard and never-ceasing iuterest In her happiness; no hint of Al fred Vaughan ; for X would uot wound her pride, nor let ber dream that any eye had seen the pasaion sbe so silently surrendered, wilh uo reproach to me and no shadow on the name I h.sd given into her keeping. Heaven knows what it cost me, and Heaveu, through tbe suffering of that hour, grauted me au hum¬ bler spirit and a better life.
It went, and I wailed formy fate as oue mirht wait for pardon or for doom. It came at lengtb —a sbort, sad letter, fall of meek obedience to my will, of penitence for faults X never knew, and grateful prayers for my peace.
My last hope died then, aud for mauy days X dwelt alone, living over all that bappy year with paiufui vividness. I dreffmed agaiu of those fair days, and woke to ourse the aelfish blindness which had bidden-my best blesaiug from me till it was forever lost.
Uow long I should have mourned tbus nna¬ vailingly X cannot tell. A more sadden, but far less grievous losa befell me. My fortune was nearly awept away iu the general rain of a most disaatrous year.
This event roused me from my despair and made roe strong again,—for X must hoai d wbal could be saved, for Effie's sake. She had known a crnel waut with me, and she must never know auotber while sbe bore tay name. X looked my misfortune in the face aud ceased to feel il one; for the diminished fortune waa slill ample for my darling's dower, au<l now what need had I of any but the simplest home?
Before anotber month was gone, I was is the quiet place henceforth to be miue alone, and nothing now remained for me to do but to dis¬ solve the bond that made my Effie mine. Sit¬ ting over the dim embers of my solitary hearth, I thought of this, and, looking ronnd tbe silent room, whoae ouly oinamenta wero the things made sacred by ber uae, the utter desolation atrack so heavily on my heart, that I bowed my head upon my folded anua, and yielded to the lender longing that could not be re¬ pressed.
The bitter paroxysm passed, and, raising my eyea, the clearer for that atormy rain, 1 beheld Effie atanding like an answer to my spirit's cry.
With a great start, I regarded her, saying, at lengih, in a voice tbat sonnded oold, for my heart leaped up to meet her, and yet must not speak,— ""
" Effie, why are yoa here ?" Wraith-like and pale, she atood before me, witb no sigu of emotion but the slight tremor of her frame, and answered my greeting with a aad hnmiUty:
"Xcame beoanse I promised, fo oleave to yoa throngli Kealth and siokness. poverty and
wealth, and X must keep that vow till yoa absolve me from It. Forgive me, but I knew miaforluurt had befallen you, and, remember¬ ing all yon had doue for me, came hoping I might comfort when other friends deserted you."
" Grateful to the last t" X sighed, low to my¬ aelf, and thongb deeply touched replied with the hard-won calmness that made my speecb so brief.
"Yoa owe me noihing, Effle, and I most earuestly desired to spareyoa ibis."
Some sudden hope seemed bora of my re¬ gretful worda, for, with an eager glance, ahe cried,
" Waa it tbat desire whicb prompted you to part from me ? Did yoa think I ahould shrink from sharing poverty with you wbo gave me all I owu ?"
"No, dear,—ah, no!" I said, " I knew your gratefnl spirit far too well for that- It waa becaase I could not make your happiness, and yet had robhed of tbe you right to seek it with aome younger aud some better man."
"Basil, Whatman? Tell me; for no donbt shall stand belweeu us now !"
She grasped my arm, and her rapid words were a command. I only anawered, " Alfred Vanghen." Effie oovered up ber faoe, crying, as she sank down at my feet,
Oh, my fear! my fear I Why wasl blind so loug ?"
I felt her grief to my heart's core; for my own anguish made me pitiful, au.i my love made me strong. X lifted up tbat drooping head aud laid it down where it migbt uever rest again, aaying, gently, cheerily, aud witb a most aincere forgetfulness of self,
" My wife, I never cherished a harsh thought of you, never uttered a reproach upou your affectiona. turned from a cold, ueglectfal gaar¬ dian, to fiud a tenderer resting place, t saw yonr struggles, dear, your patieut grief, your aitent sacrifice, and honored you more truly than I cau tell. Effie I rob bed you of yon, liberty, bat I will restore il, making such po.ir reparation as X can for this long year of pain ; and wheu I see you blest in a happier bome, my keen remorse will be appeased."
As X ceased, Effie rose erect and stood before me, transformed from a timid girl iuto au ear¬ nest womau. Some dormant power and paa¬ aion woke; sbe turned ou mo a countenance aglow with feeling, soul in the eye, heart on the lipa, and iu her voice au energy tbat beld me mate.
"I feared to speak before," ahe said, "but now I dare anything, for I bave heard yoa call me • wife,' and aeen tbat iu your face wbich gives me bope. Basil, the grief you saw was uot for the loss of auy love Lat yours; the conllict you beheld was the daily struggle lo subdue my longing spirit to your will; nnd the sacrifice you honor butthe renunciation of all bope, I stood between yon and the woman whom you loved, aod asked of death to free me from that cruel lot. You gave me baclc my life, but you withheld the gift that made it worth pcsaesslng. Y'ou deaired to be freed from the affection wbich only wearied yon, and I tried to conquer it; but it would uot die.— Let me speak uow, aud theu I will be still forever! Must our ways lie apart ? Cau I never be more lo you thau now ? Oh, Basil! ob my husband I X have loved you very It uly from tbe first! Shall X never know the bles- aedness of a return ?"
Words could not auswer that appeal. I gathered my life's happineas close to my breast, and iu tbe silence of a full heart felt that God was very good lo me.
Soou all my paiu and passion were confes¬ sed. Fast and fervently the tale waa told; and as the truth duwned on lhat patleut wife, a tender peace transfigured her uplifted conu tenance, until to me it seemed an angel's face. *'I am a poor man now," I said, still hold¬ ing tbat frail creature fast, fearing to see her vanish, aa her semblance had so ofteu done in the long vigils I tad kept,—"a poor man, Effie, and yet very rich, for X bave my treas¬ are back agaiu. But I am wisei tban when we parted ; for I have learned that love is bet¬ ter tban a world of wealth, aud victory over self a nobler conquest thau a continent. Dear, I have no home but Ibis. Can you be happy here, with no foriuue but tbu liltle store set apart for you, and the knowledge that uo waut aball touch you while I live ?"
And as I spoke, I aighed, remembering all I might bave done, and dreading poverty for her alone.
Bub with a geature, soft, yet solemn, Effie laid her hands npon my bead, as if endowing witb bleasing and wilh gift, and answered, with her steadfast eyes on mine.
" Y'ougaveme your bome when I waa home less; let me give it back, aud with it a prond wife. I too, am rich; for that old mau is gone and left me,all. Take it, Basi), aud give me a little love."
I gave not little, but a long life of devoUon for the good gift God had bestowed ou me,— finding in a hoasehold spirit tbe daily heue diction of whose presence banished sorrow, aelfishness, and gloom, and, through the influ¬ ence of bappy humau love, led me to a truer faith in thc Divine.

It makes us proud when our love of a wo¬ man is retarned as it ought; tomakeusproader alill when we can love her for heraelf alone, without tbe aid of auy such reflecliou. Such is the religion of love.
Promisea are made fast by nails or pius— accordiug aa persons are in the habit of run¬ ning away from their worda. For instance, you uail a man to his promise, and pin a wo¬ man,
Leam in childhood, ifyou can, that hap¬ piness is not outside, but inside. A good heart and clear couscl.-nce brings happiness ; no ricbes or ciruamataniies alone ever do.

"And what do you get my little oue ?" said the father, to a roay cheeked little fallow, who wag at tbat lime slily driving a ten-penny nail into tbe door-panel, " Me ?

A facetious boy asked oue of his playmntes bow a hard ware dealer differed from a boot¬ maker. The latter, somewhat pnzzled, gave it up, " Why," said lhe other, *' becauae the oue aold the nails, aud the other nailed tbo solea,"
To an indigent person wbo was perpetually boasting of his ancestry, au industrious suc¬ cessful tradesman, of humble origin, observed : " You, my friend, are proud of your deacout, 1 am pi oud of my ascent."
A mother once asked a clergymau when she abould begin the edacation of her child, wbich abe told him waa three yearsold. " Madam," was the reply, "you have loat three yeara al¬ ready. From the first smile that gleams over an infant's cheek, your opportunity begins."
A dinner of fragments is ofteu said to be lbe beat dinner; ao tbere are few minda but migbt furuish some instruction and eutertainment of their scraps, tbeir odds and ends of thought.
Tbey who cauuot weave a uniforra web, may at least produce a piece of patchwork,
