SWEETEST OCTOBEB.
0! round red moon, slip under the lUlI,
And hide awny and awny, For eyes will be peering, And lips will be jeering,
And idle words will they say. I hear his steps in tho thicket brown,
I feel his breath In tho air. For lips that are Jeerlnt;, And eyes that are peering.
Ah! why should I care—1 care ?
O! some may slngoftho dear sweet June,
And some may sing ofthe May, Rut dear October, When Illy and clover.
Are withered and faded gray. For low in the long, dim grove.s.
He whispers and murmurs to me, And kisses are sweeter. Than winds that blow fleeter.
Up from the blossoming lee.
The West is whistling a plaintive stave
In the brown reeds by the sliore; Tho cricket is calling, Tite gold leaf Is falling,
The cloud glides over tho star; The pheasant whirrs from thestubblobnre.
The wild goose springs from the shore, And my dear is calling,
"Come hither, my darling. And lovo nie fore\cr more."
THE MUSIC MISTRESS.
OIIAPTEU I.
?" I was ubout sixteen when I was invi¬ ted lij- my iiuut, Mrs. Morton, to st.ij' witli iicr i'oru tew montiis ut licrlioii»e, ill lliat plfiasant region of Ijomlon, tlie neighboriiood of liogeiit's Park. 1 was a eountry bred sirl, and liad never so nnieli as onee visited the great city. I Iind all a novice's ideas of iu gaieties and splendoiv, and thought ol' them witii almost awe as woll as curio.'iity.
I pass over my anticipations of that visit, m.v arrival in London, the more than fulfilment of .some of my dreams, tlie dissipated illusions of others.
My aunt, by her instaut proposal tliat I should take music lessons in all tlie usual aecomplishnieiits, showed her opinion of the education I had received from a eountry boarding school.
Of my numerous other musters and mistresses I need not speak—I have long forgolten their very names ; butof my music mistress, Grace Harvey, of whom this littlo record is told, Ihave the most distinct recollection from the very first hour iu which I saw her pale face, her great solemn eyes, that yet sometimes lit uj) into wonderful beau¬ ty, her firm mouth, her tall lithe fig¬ ure. •'Well," said my aunt, when Miss 4 Harvey took her departure after the first lesson was over, "if that young lad.v has sueli a large connection, and so much reputation as un instructress, as Mrs. Rupert tells us, I wonder she does not dress a little better. A certain appearance is incumbent upon every one according to their means, and Miss Harvej''s dress is disgracefully shabby." " It was not ver.v nice," I answered ; " but, oh! aunt, what splendid eyes she has—that is, if they were not so full of care."
I was j'oun/y and enthusiastic in those days, and before loug I had contracted atiardent admiratiou for Miss Harvey, which now ripened Into a passionate girlish friendship tbat made my aunt angry, aud Fred Laughed kindly.
"Come, Chattie," said he one da.v, " you shall introduce me to the lad.v of tlie handsome eyes and the shabby gown."
"It is very heartless of Auut Kitty to talk so much of Miss Harvey's dress," I cried. " If she is poor, is that her fault? Sho is.a far finer lad.vin her poor worn dress than many of my aunt's friends who come here in rustling silks and satins. Ami you, Freii, I am asliaiiied of you. Once you did not think a lady made bv her dress." "And perhaps I don't now, either, i Chat," said Fred; "and hope I should bo the last man in the world to sneer at poverty."
" Grace Harvey has uo relations, and she lives iu one room, all alone, up ever so many stairs, in such a dark, dismal little street; oh, Fred ! it almost stifles rae to tuiuk of it," I said e.agerly. "I met Grace on the street one day, and it rained, and though I think she would have rather not, she took me for shelter to her room. When I saw what a poor low place it w.ns, I felt as if I ought uever to have seen it."
"Poor thing!" said   Fred,   heartily.
" Well, Chattie, we have no right to
pry into her secrets, or wonder why,
with a large numberof pupils, she could
be so poor?"
M.v indignation much .soothed by Fred's feeling and good nature, I intro¬ duced my brotlier to Miss Harvej-, and noted with a thrill of pleasure, how his bow was as gracefully deferential, his luanner as cordially respectful to the poor teacher of music in her worn gar¬ ments, as over J had seen either to the most distinguished of my aunt's faiih- ionable friends. Miss Harvey soon dropped, too, her rather sad reserve of « manner with him, and, as Fred, was about this time for some reason or otli- fr a very dutiful nephew and a most at¬ tentive brother, I had the pleasure of ' Keeing the actjuaintance between them improve rapidly. How Fred managed to time his calls so exactly to my mu- .Rlc lessons is not for me to say, thougli X was a great deal too shrewd not to notice the fact very speedily; and oh, liow pleased to draw my own conclu¬ sions from it. It seemed to me, young and enthusiastic as I w.as, the most na¬ tural and desirable thiug iu the world tliat my darling brother should fall in love with and marry my dearest friencl —music mistress ihough she wns.— While pretty sure of Fred's feelings in the matter, I wos b.y no means so coii- lident of Miss Harvey's. At first she had seemed quite pleased with Fred, but by degrees the old sadness and re¬ serve crept back into her manner; iinu, indeed, after a little while I could aee Unit she plainlj* avoided him.
One night, to my unbounded delight, Fred took mu to a concert, and when the flrst part was over, and I was able to spare my attention to tho audience, I commenced a very admiring survey of the house.
" Dear me," I cxelaimed in two or three minutes, " did you ever see such ix likeness ?—"There, in the fourth row iroTO the end. Oh ! she has turned her 2iead away now; but I could almost say ft was she."
"She!   who,   my  dear!"   inquired Fred. "Grace Harvey."
"GraceHarvej'! wliei-e? What, that Klrl in white silk, with those splendid flowers? Indeed! it is somethiug like. Ah! uow she has turned her head. Marvelously like her! I wonder who the world it is.   Is it Miss Harvey ?"
"Nonsense, Fred," said I laughing. "How can it be poor Grace? Do you think she can afford first-class concerts and whlto silk dresses?"
But after this I and tlie tonecrt got but a verv divided attention of master Fred.
On the occasion of my ne.xt music lesson I did not forget to tell Miss Har¬ vey of the lad.v so closely resembling her, whom I bad seen at the concert, and to my great surprise, looking at my friend the while, I saw that her pale ' face flushed suddenly and deeply, and for an instant she seemed eon fused and vexed.
" The resemblance must have been strong indeed, to be visible tlirough ail tho difference of dress. I ought to feel more complimented than I dare say the lady would be,- if she could know, Chattie," waa all she replied, and we spoke of it no more.
But one daj', not very long after that, Fred came to me in some trouble and excitement.
" Chattie," said he presantlj', " I am going to tell you a secret. AVill .you he very much surprised if I tell yo'u that I love Grace Harvey dearly, and that I Jiave asked her to be my wife?"
" Not surprised, but so clad—oh, so glad!"
" Wait," said he, and though he smiled, he looked vexed too. " It is true that I have asked Grace to marry ane; bnt, Chattie, she has refused in the most nnetiuallSed manner."     '
" Oil, Fred! and I nm sure she likes you. It is some scruple about diflijreuce iu rank, I daresay. Haven't you found out how proud Grace is ?"
" To be sure I have. But I don't J think it is tbat, either ; for I asked her ' outright, and I could uot help think¬ ing that my doing that made her think •of it for tho first time. Ko, I don't fancy that was her reason; and, Chat¬ tie, this Is -wJhere you can help me. I <!duld not press Qraeefor her Kjotives, but yoii might ask "Questions thsit I could not.-'Tiy and cofliea,t Jier rea¬ sons, will you?"
" But Fred, I am nottohave my next lesson for more than a fortnight—not till the new piano comes home."
" Oh!" said poor Fred, with a look of great dismay," I cannot wait that time. Can't you make some excuse for going to see Miss Harvey ?"
What could I not have done for Fred ? I ran away to put on my things, and Fred and I were soon in tho dingy street, and the house at which Miss Harvey lived. I rang the bell, and in¬ quired for Miss Harvey of the little girl who opened it.
"Yes, Miss Harvey was in—would I walk up?"
Stumbling up the dark and crooked staircase after the small handmaid, we at length arrived at Miss Harvey's door. The child knocked; but as there was no answer, she opened it and told me to walk in. I did so. There was the low and dismal room which I had often thought of with a pang—aud there I stood transfixed with mute astonish¬ ment; for that instant a door leading out of this room opened, showiug me a momentary glimpse of mirror-gildiug and rich furniture within, and Grace herself, beautifully attired in an even¬ ing dress, with jewels on her arms and stately neck stood in the doorway. She in turn, looked more than surprised, almost frightened, -^.s she saw me she closed the door behind her quickly, and her face w.as crimson as she faltered— " Chattie, is it you ?" I was so utterly bewildered by what 1 saw,—the discrepancy between her riili dre.-^s and aiiparent, professed pov¬ erty, that I did my errand badlycnough, I (lare .saj'. Grace's face seemed to grow colli und stern, as she listened and re¬ plied, sternlj', that "atr. Talbot must consider her decision final, as it was." Poor Fred! I told him all I had seen, wheu I gave him her answer, and wc never spoke of Grace Harvey after. 5Iy visit to town camo tu un abrupt close soon ufterwurds, and my friendshii) for mj' music teacher became onlj' a mem¬ ory."
cir.ii'TKB 1 r. It was some years after this that mj' brother and I—now a grave lawyer im¬ mersed in business—paid a visit to the gray old cathedral town where we were both born.
One evening—a summer evening full of tranquil beautj', I rBmember—as we sauntered under the shadows of tlie cloisters, I noticed the figure of a wo¬ man sitting on one of thestouebenches beneath them, lookiug out over the gravej'ard bej'oud, where the loug sun- shadows were growing dusky in the fading light. Something ill the figure attracted me, and as we passed I looked into her face. I knesi' her instantlj'; yes—careworn, faded, shabbier iu dress even than of old—I knew Grace Ilar- vej-; and so touched was I, too, by somethingiuexpressiblj'sad aud hope¬ less in her wistful face aud weary atti¬ tude, that forgetting the awkwardness of anj' meeting, accompanied as I was, I stood still aud snid iuvoiuntarilj'— " Grace Harve.y!"
She looked up hastilj', aud bj' the color that Uushed Into her pale, thin face, I saw tiiat she recognized ns. It was a ver.v awkward meeting, but the good breeding and self-control of the two most concerned, made it pass oU" better than one might iiave lioped.
Miss Harvej' was not residing in JHeansbury—no, only here for a day or two. She had known the place ius a child, and loved it dearly.
I think this was the sum of the in¬ formation we gathered concerning her¬ self beforo we parted, which we did very soon, though, in spite of all the mj'sterious circumstances that seemed to surround Miss Harvey, raj' heart yearned towards the object of my pas¬ sionate, j'oulhful friendship, when sho bade us good-bj', in her low, thrilling voice, and left us.
Fred and I wandered ubroad much inter thau usual lhat night, talking uf those old times: aud when I learned, as I did then, how constant my brother had been to the memory of his early love—how noble his simple faith in her goodness, uotwithsiandlug the mj'stcry surrounding her life—I luade a vow in m.v heart, though 1 said nothing about it to him.
A day or two after this, as I w.is com¬ ing out of the cathedral, I lingered uu inalant to admire a new stained win¬ dow that was in the process of putting ill when we first arrived at Deaiisbury. As I did so two other persous came from another direction and paused be¬ fore it, and not noticing me, began to talk about the window. I soon gather¬ ed that the Indj' had presented this new memorial window, aud the gentleman was eager to know whether the work had been executed accordiug to her wish, and so forth.
" Yes," she answered softlj'; and the voice was fainiliarto me, though I could not see her face. " Your part of the work is well done; and mine—ah! I have felt ns if I could not rest till It w.is accompli.shed. And now that it isdone, I began to ask myself whnt other need of me there is In the world. I think I huve never felt lonelj' till now."
Tliesud, putientvoice thrilled througii me; and when Grace turned aw.ay, as she did almost direcllj', I hustened after and overtook her, under the gray, old archway of the gate. She colored faintly when she saw me, but did uot refuse to walk back with me around tho cloisters.
" Grace," said I, pleasantly, " I won¬ der ifyou ever remember how fond I was of you."
" You were u good kind child," she answered, with a falntsmile," and, I be¬ lieve, loved me better than I deserved." " Then,   Grace,   make  no amends.
Tell me why "
" Tell you all ray secrets, I supjiose ?" she answered. " Well, Chattie, I dou't know that I need to keep them anj' longer. I um very sure no other but .your kind self would care to hear them. Shall we sit here, where wo can see that large tomb? Can you read the names on this side, Chattie ?"
"Yes. Itis thefamlly vault of Henry Arinj'tage, of Langton Hall."
" 1 wonder whether my bones will rest there ?" said Grace, wistfully. "He was my father, Chattie."
" I shall not give Grace's story in her own words, though they were far more touching and eloquent than any I can pretend to.   It wa.s briefly this :
She was one of the three daughters of Henry Armytage, of Langton; the es¬ tate, at his death, reverted to the heir male, a distant connexion only. The three daughtei-s were, however, hand¬ somely dowered, and at their father's death retired to a neighboring small property, where they lived in much comfort, and even style. Grace, the youngest, was many years the Junior of
young sister's existence. Sho removed her sister to the house of an old ser¬ vant, who let apartments, and who would keep her secret, labored night and day to furnish one room In the style of her sister's own at Langton, and, while she herself lived upon the poorest fare, supplied that other table with luxuries. After her long day's work, the poor girl would replace her poor, woru dress with one suoh as she nad worn in the days of prosperity, and devote herself to the ponr imbecile, striving to call back those eurlj' duys in w'hich alone she seemed toIlve;a(irive nowandthen, in unfrequented suburbs ; a visit to a concert, whieh was a source of rapturous delight to the invalid— these were all the substantial enjoy¬ ments Grace could venture on. If her husband hud hud the slightest idea that she gained money enough to give wliat she did to her sister, he would not long have left her in peace. .She guarded her secret cuiefullj', and oiilj- seemed to have valued her life us dedicated to the service of ber sister, to whom, indeed, she owed such terrible utouemeiit.
And then came the day when she could do no more—when her love, her praj-er, her labors, could give nothing moro to tliat figure on whom her tears fell so hitterij'—and she could only bury her dead out of sight, and realize —oh, how remorsefully ! oh, how ten¬ derly!—that little of wrong ean be set right In this world.
" It comforted me, somehow, to work hard, that I might laj' them both In j'onder tomb, where they hadwisheil to lie, aud when that was done, I la¬ bored lo imt up the window to their memor.v," Grace concluded ; and theu I understood tlio words I hud heard liersuj' In the church.
" And your husband?" I ventured to suj', timiillj', presenllj'.
" He is gone to where mj' forgiveness cuiinot reacli him," she answered culra- ly. "Ah, Chattie, there was no room for regret in my heart for him."
And this was Grace's storj'. I told it to Fred in tlie moonlight cloister that night, and all he said was, " Poor darling!   Dear noble Grace!"
Need I tell the ending of the story? and that Grace has been for some years, mj' dear sister and Fred's liaiipj' wife ?"

the other ladies, clever, and a beauty. The elder sisters were inordinately fond of this girl; pampering and indulgiug her in every caprice; sacrificing them¬ selves for her, and  only happy  when she was.pleaaed.   They naturally look¬ ed to lier settling in life in a manner accordant wilh her ancient name and handsome means; instead of wliich the willful girl chose lo throw herself away upou a man every way her inferior, and, as it turned out, of the most  uii- priiioipled character.   The elder sisters at first refusing their consent to the union, tbe pair eloped,  w;ere  married, und for a year or two were heard of no more.   The elder sisters, ouly anxious to forgive, lost no opportunity of discov¬ ering their whereabouts, and at last tri¬ umphantly brought back the runuwaj' young people to their home at Fair- bridge. Here lor :l while thoy all lived ; but before very loug It was  discovered that Mr. Burriugion bad dissipated his wife's fortune, and tbe pair were onti re¬ ly dependent on their relatives. In vain the simple ladies   tried to save them from tbeconsequencesof their own sins and follies.   While money was to be had the husband of the younger would spend ft; and nt last, when everything uvuilable had been obtained, disappear¬ ed, leaving his wife behind. Tlie Misses Armytage and their sister  left Fair- bridge forever, and went to Jjondon; but while thej' had a pennj' they feebly strove to avert disgrace and ruin from their sister's husband.   When all was gone,- the poor ladies patiently set about trying to earn a living, and while thus eugaged, theyounger, who had rejoined her husbtmd fora while, came baek to them, calmly told them she had parted with him forever, assumed her mother's maiden name, and declared that she would live and die with her sisters. She was energetic and clever, and, as a teach¬ er of music she had already got remu¬ nerative employ, when one of her sis¬ ters took a fever, languished and died. Almost before she was buried the other was taken ill, and, thongh her life was spared to her stricken sister, was hope¬ lessly imbecile from that time. The one pleasure of which she seemed capable was that of liking to see round her the sights and luxuries of her e.vly life; and to give the poor Invalid theae, be- cain.e ^e one absorbing duty of the
There was a trial and execution In Dublin, more than a century since, which excited great Interest. It was thatofasurgeou, well known in societj', and esteemed for his amiable character, and remarkable for his humanity to the poor; he lived in a retired state. It happened one eveuing that the milk- woman found the street door ajar, and not being answered wben she knocked at it, she made her waj' to tho kitchen. She had no sooner eutered it, than ut tering a iilerelng scream, she culled loudly for help. The passers-by and persons from the neighboring houses were soon on the siiot, aud the Icitelieu was crowded in a short time; a sad spec¬ tacle presenleditself. The J'oung woman who Wiis servant to tho nurgoon ivaa Ij'iug on the flags, while her dress was stained with the blood whieli had issued from a wound in the side. In looking about the floor, a surgical instrument was found, which also was stained with blood.
A medical man who was present as¬ certained that" it was the instrnmeut which had inflicted the death wound. On a further search, a shirt, saturated with blood, was found huddled up in the coal hole; it was marked with the initials of the surueon's name.
Ke was imniediatelj' .seized, and, though protesting his iiiiioceiice, lie was evideutlj' uuder great agitation. Tlie silent wituesscH whieb were brougiit against iiim wero thought suf¬ ficient to prove his gnilt, and all at¬ tempts to account for their having been found near the unforttinate girl were scouted in thecro.s3-examIuatIon.
A living witness was also produced ill court, an old ludj' who deposed that sho lived in the Iiousc directly facing that where the surgeou resided ; tliat her drawing room window commanded a view of his premises, aud thut it was customar.v with lier to w.atch his move¬ ments. She deposed thut she had hot taken her cj-es off of his liouse all that da.v on whicii the murder was perpetra¬ ted; that no oue left or entered the house thut day but himself; thut he went home at about four o'clock, his usual hour for returning ; and that, on- knocking at the door, It was opened hj' the servant, who, to the best ofher be¬ lief, shut it fast when her master went in ; and tbat she saw him three or four times pass the windows of his sitting room ; that the last time she saw him was about half au hour before the mur¬ der ; that she observed him look down both sides of the slreet, and then shut down the window; he held something in his hand, whicii slie thinks ma.y have been a .surgical instrument; biit this she would not positivelj' swear.
In summing up the evidenee, the hor¬ ror whicii the prisoner had betrayed, when looking on the bod,v of his mur¬ dered servant, was eloquently dwelt on as a crowning proof of guilt. The de¬ fence was weak and meagre—a bare denial of the crime being its chief sub¬ stance. A thrill of horror pervaded the court. The jur.y retired, a brief space sufllced for deliberation—thej' returned with a verdict of "guiltj'." Tlie Judge having donned his black cap, exhorted the prisoner ou the helnousncss of his crime, and pronounced the fatal sen¬ tence.
It is said that thecondomuedshowcd much fortitude throughout, and persis¬ ted to the lastinassertlnghis innocence. He was brought to the place of execu¬ tion amid a vast concourse and the ex- ecrntions of the people. We were told by up old gentlemnu that his father re¬ membered having beeu held up in his nurse's arms to see the procession pass to tlie place of execution. He was often spokeu of in the social circle as one who had been held in much estimation. His untimely end was lamented, but there were few who believed It unde¬ served.
It was after the lapse of several years that some one who had emigrated to America  returned.   He  was  ill  and troubled in miud; somethinglayheavy- 011 his heart and disturbed his con¬ science ; he made his confession to liis priest:   He had been the "sweetheart" of the murdered girl; she had let him in bj' the back waj', early in the even¬ ing, to take tea with her.   As they sat side li.y side, he asked hor for a kiss, whicii he would have snatched when- she denied him ; she took up her mas¬ ter's   surgicul instrument,  whieh she had to clean,  and which lay on  the table  beside her  and slie pointed it towards lilm jestingl.y; in a struggle she fell on It, and it pierced her sitle; he snatched the shirt, which she had iu her la]) to mend, aud staunched the blood which was flowing Willi it; but life soon ebbed away, aud he saw  tbe girl thatheloved—whohad beeu laugh¬ ing and talking witli  him  but a few minutes before—Ij'ing dead beside him ; his agon J' only gave way to the instinct of self-preservation, when he thought he heard thesonndof approaching foot¬ steps ; he thrust tbe blood-stained shirt . into the coal hole, and setting the hull door ajur. he concealed himself behiuti It, and wheu tlie crowd had collected ou hearing the alarm, lie mingled with It, and then pa.ssed into the street, und on to the qiia.v, and getting on boaril an American ship, he sailed iu a few nourai.   Wlion ill. loarnod that the sur¬ geon's life hud been forfeiteel, be w.ns overwiielmed with unguisli.   The onlj' reparation in his power wus to clear his cliaructer  from the dreadful imputa¬ tion ; bnt though he felt a relief iu this act of justice, yet he could not undo the injur.y Inflicted.
