THE ANTE-NTIFTIAL LIE.
IN TWO PARTS—PART I. On the morning of my twenty-third birth- day, I awoke eaily, and with a profonnd sense of happiness and thankralnesa. My lire years of married life, withont having been a realised dream or sentimental idyl, had enclosed the happiest and worthiest period of my exiatence. Tracing the details of it, I rejoiced to think my worst difficaUiea were overcome, and that strong affection and deep-rooted esteem had ohanged an anxions course of dnty into bless¬ ed ness and fmition.
My hnsband, Mr. Anstmther, had yielded to my earnest wish to celebrate oar wedding anniversaty in onr conntry home, and had granted me jnst three days, snatched from the toil of active parliamentary life to taste my holiday: and I was tasting it alowly, but With intense enjoyments, as I stepped ont that moming npon the dewy lawn, and devoured with my aching London sight, one of the loveliest park-landscapes in England. I look¬ ed in the distance .npon low langes of hills, blae in the early misty light, and granting, hete and there, peeps of tbe adjacent sea, sleeping qnietly beneath the rosy amber of the eastern sky, and immediately at my feet npon flower gardens planned and ouUivated with all the elegance of modern taste, and glowing with a hundred dyes. My mind re¬ curred iuvolnutarily to the narrow conrt in whioh my father's honse waa sitaated, and to the dreary prospeot of briok and mortar, of faotory chimney and chnrch steeple, which for eighteen years bad bonnded by horizon; and if tbe recollection brought with it tbe old in¬ evitable association, I was able to thank Qod that now no pulse beat quicker, no traitorous thrill responded.
How atrange it seems tbat fate should come npon na with such overwhelming saddenness, that we are not suffered to hear the approach¬ ing footstep or see the ontstretched arm, bnt are stmck down instantly by the blow whioh might perhaps have been withstood, had a momenVs warning been granted! I went back to the house that morning with tbe most absolate sense of secarity aud happiness; bnt on the threshold of the breakfast-room I met laj husband, and the first glance at bia face told me something was wrong. His face waa always reserved—it waa now severe.
I had approached him natnraUy with smil¬ ing face and ontstretched hand, anticipating his oongratulations; hnt I atood still at once, sa efficiently arrested as If he had held a drawn aword at mj breast. His manner was alwaya grave—it was now stem.
"That is right," he said; " come no nearer.' Tben, after a pauae, he added: "You have been np some time ; let na ttave breakfast at onoe ;*' and he opened the door of the room for me to enter. I took my place and went through tbe accnstomed forma withont & word. I saw he wiahed me to eat and drink, and I did BO, although the effort nearly choked me. Indeed, I was thankful for the few minutes' respite, and was striving to command xny re¬ aources for the approaching conmot with all the Btrength of mind I poaaesBed.   Iwas aot
down the room, making no pretenoe to eat and aa aoon as I bAd'flnlshpd he rang the bell to bave the table olearad, and then sat down before.it opposite to me. "We have frienda aaked to dinner to day to oelebrata ihe double annfTeraaryof otir miiRlag«'and yoltr birth¬ day—hare we Bot r*' be uid, leaning bis arms heavily upon the table, and gaalng ateadily Into my. faoe.: **. I shall not meet them. I fear it will be imposaiblo for me ever to recognize you aa my wife ag^ I"
I think he expeoted that the orael abrapt- nesB of this anaoaiioement wonld strike me swooning, or at least conrioted, at his feet; but it did not. : ify heart did for a moment seem to stand still, and every ¦. drop of blood faded from my eheeke, bat I did not tremble or flinch nnder his hard scrutiny. Iwas even able to sjf eak.
" TeU me at once," J said," the meaning of this. Toa are under some delusion. What have I done ?"
Aa I spoke, his face softened; I ooold eee, In apite of the iron monld of his physiognomy, the instinctive hope, the passionate yearning produoed by my maimer; it was. very evan^ esoent, however, for almrat: before I had gath¬ ered oourage from the look, it waa gone, and all the hardness had retamed.
"I am not the man," he said, "to bring a premature or rash aoonsation especially against the woman I have made my wife. I aooase joti of having deceived me, and bere is the proof."
He opened his pocket-book slowly, and took out a letter. I recogniied it Instantly, and my. heart sank. I had sufficient selfoommand to repress the ory that rose instinctively to my lips, but no effi>rt could keep baok the bnming glow whioh dyed my face and hands like'conscious guilt.
My hnaband looked at me steadily, and his Jip curled. "I will raad the letter," he said. The letter began thus : " You have told me again and again that you loved me : were those words a lie ? Ton shaU not make good your Moloch ofiering, and sacrifice religion and vir¬ tue, body and soul, youth and happineas, to your insatiate craving after position and wealth. This man is too good to be cajoled. What if I showed him the pledges of your love f taught him the reliance tbat is to be placed on your faith P Why shonid you reckon upon my submission to your perjury?" Tfae letter ran on to a great length, mingling vehement reproaches with appeals and protes¬ tations of snch unbridled passion, that aa my husband read them his voice took a tone of deeper scorn, aud his brow a heavier contrac¬ tion.
The letter was addressed to me, on the baok of the same sheet ori which it was written; it was not dated beyond "Tuesday evening," but the post-mark, unusually legible, shewed May 19, 1850—just three days before we were mar¬ ried. My husband indicated these facts with the same deliberation that had matked his conduct throughout, aud theu he said: " I found this letter last night in your dreaaing- room after yon had left it; perhaps I onght not to have read it, but it would now be worse than mockery to make auy excuse for bo do¬ ing. I hare nothing more to say until I have liatened to your explanation. You tell me I am under a delnsion—it will therefore be ne¬ cessary for you to prove that thia letter is a forgery."
He leaned back in hia chair as he spoke, and pasaed hla hands over his forehead wltb a gesture of weariness; otherwise he had sus¬ tained bis part in the scene with a cold Insen¬ sibility which seemed unnatural, and which filled me with the most dreadfnl foreboding of failure and misery. I did not misjudge him so far as to suppose for a moment thathe was as insensible as he appeared, bat I per¬ ceived that his tenacious and indexible na¬ ture had been cut to the quick both in its in¬ tense pride and lore, and that thongh the wound bled inwardly—^bled mortally, per¬ chance—he would never utter a ory, or even allow a pang.
Alas I alas I he wopld never forgive me.— The concealment, the deception, as be would call it, which had appeared to me justifiable, would seem crime and outrage in his eyes. I lowered my head beneath his searching gaze, aud remained silent.
"You hare nothing to aay!" he inquired, after a rain pause for me to speak. " You cannot deny that letter f God is my witneaa," he satd aolemnly, "that I wish to be a merci¬ ful Judge. I may hold extreme riews of a girl's folly, a woman's weakness : you would only be rain and faithless, like your sex, if you had played with thia young man's feel¬ ings, and deceived hia hopes. Is this your explanation ?"
It waa a rery snare of Satan ofiered for my fall—one easy lie. "I deceived him, but ner¬ er you." And the way of forgireneas was open. I saw he was clinging to the bope with a concentrated eagerness It was impossible for him entirely to disguise. Oh I was it neces¬ sary for my punishment that the hard task shoald be made harder by that relenting glance I
I only hesitated for a moment; the discip¬ line of tbe laat fire years had not left me so blind and weak as eren iuthis Supreme emer¬ gency to reject truth for expediency. Howev¬ er he might judge me, I must stand clear be¬ fore God and my conscience.
"No, Malcolm," I said desperately; "the trath is rather as it first appeared to yoa. I hare beeu guilty in this matter, bnt my fault ia surely one which you will concent to pardon; fqr eren were it greater, I tliink our fire years of happy union might tura the scale in mj_ favor."
"Yes," he aaid; " you have borne with the difficuUiea of my temper with angelic patience, until the pasaion whioh Induced me to marry yoa, despite of many obstacles, waa weakneaa in comparison with the lore I had for you— yesterday.   Only lell me that I have notbeen
your dupe throughout—only "    He broke
oflf abraptly. " I can bear no more fencing round the point," he said harshly; " one word is enongh—did you lore thia yonth f"
*' I did, from childhood, with all my heart and soul."
"Up to the date of that letter?" he asked quietly' but the muscles worked round the olenohed Ups.
" Yes, and beyond it," I found courage to aay; but hardly had the words been spoken when I felt I had exceeded the Umit of his en¬ durance. An Inroluntary oath escaped his lipa.
I saw there was no hope for me iu depreca¬ tion and irresolatiou; I must apeak to the point, and decisively. " I have a right to be heard before I am condemned," I saM, "and I claim my right. I confess I lored the youth who wrote this letter, but it would hare beeu a miracle had it been otherwiae. You Itoow from what a life you rescued me : a prisoner in tbe dull rooms, above my father's book¬ store, withoat a pleasore, a friend, a hope in Ufe. You were astonished at my proficiency in unusual studiea: if at that time an active brain had not driven me to InteUeotual labor, I ahould have gone mad in the midat of my auatere and - desperate loneUneas. I was scarcely fifteen when Puncan Forsyth, a kins¬ man of my father's, came to study medicine iu our city univeraity, and to Uve as boarder in our house. I saw it was inevitable that such a connectlon^shonld in dne course ripen into love. He was young, gifted, and attraoUve, but it would hare seeded but half hia endow¬ ments to wiu my heart then. I waa nothing but a blind, passionate ohUd, neglected utter¬ ly tlU he flattered, caressed, and wooed me.— Ithink he loved me with aU the faoulty of lore be hadj and for a time we were very

I olnng despntely.to the forlomrhope of le- form. It waa in vain; bis vloes wen toooon- firmed And tjtasmoxia for eren vny Infiaenoe— and it was great—to OTeroome. Tben I gave bimnp. I thonght tht; Umggls wonld bill me, for my {oollib sonl olong to htm, desper¬ ately, bnt I.oonld not mate with dnmkenneu and dishonor. My father, who had approved of onr engagement, and who did.sat know or believe the (kata conoeming him, npbraided and coerced me; Dnnoan bimself, relying on my weakness, tried all the skill he bad to move me, till I waa nearly Iranlio In my miiery..
"It was Jast at this orisia that yon firat saw.me,'visited, my-father's hook-store and. desired to be made known to me. Wliat fol¬ lowed, I.neod not tell. Tou told me yoaloved me well enongh to marry me, despite of sooial inferiority, if I thongbt I oonld love yon in re¬ turn—if I bad a young girl's free beart to give ;^ou. Yon insisted npon thla, Malcolm—I dare uot deny il—and I oame to yoa with a lie in my right liand I Here lies my offence, and aod knows, I do not wish to palUato it; bnt ijefore yon ntterly condemn me, consider tbe templation. My fatber forbade Dnncan the bonse, and threatened me if I dared to tell yoa the truth conoeming bim; bnt I hardly think that wonld havo moved me, bad I not persuaded myself also that I was justifled in deceiving yon. Had I told you I loved Dnn¬ oan Forsyth, yoa would have given me upf and shut against ms all the vague bnt glorious hopes suoh an alllanoe ofiered; bnt more tban all, I knew tbls unworthy love must soon die out, and that my deep recognition and rBve> ence for yonr goodness and excellence wonld end in an affection stronger and deeper tban the weak passion of a girl. Before Qod, I vowed to do my dnty ; from that honr, I have striven, wltb His belp, to keep my vow ; and save in that preliminaiy falsehood, Malcolm, I have never wronged you."
My hnsband had recovered hia ^elf-com- mand while I was speaking, bnt tbe last phrase seemed to overthrow it again. " Wronged me !" be repeated, and the intonation, gniet asitwas, thrilled me like physical pain, it. was BO hard and unrelenting. " 1 wish to be calm, Eliinor," he oontinned, " and thereforo I will speak briefly. You seem to tbink yon hare extenuated yourself by your confession. To my heart and mind, you are condemned past forgiveness. Nay, do not plead or pro¬ test," he said, witb a haughty movement of restraint, as I was about to. approach; " It is a point for feeling, not caeuiatry to deoide.— You understand fnlly the delusion under whicb I married yon. I imagined I took to my arms a pnre-bearted girl, fresh and innocent as ber seclusion warranted me to believe her; instead of thst, I flnd myself to have been cajoled by a disappointed woman, witb a beart exhausted by precocious passion. Yon think it excuse sufficient that it waa yonr interest to deceive me; to my mind, the faot adds only insult to the injury. EUinor yon have rained the hap¬ piness of my life. While I have been restUig on tbe solace of yonr love, worshipping you ior your sweet patience with a temper rough¬ ened by many canses unknown to yonr inex¬ perience, it has all been the insensibility of pre-occapation, or at best a miserable calonla- tion of duty. So gross is yoursense of conju¬ gal faith, tbat becanse yonr treachery bas been only of the beart, you dare to say you have nerer wronged me, and to call npon God to approve your rirtue because tbe lapae of time and better influences, I trust, bave enabled yon to scbool a disgracefnl passion, and offer a measure of regaid in return for the immeas- urable devotion 1 have felt for you.*'
He paused in spite of bimself, unable to pro¬ ceed, and before be could prevent me, I bad thrown myself at bis feet. It was in vain to argue—to light against his bard words; 1 could only implore.
¦ " Malcolm," I oried, " you cannot believe what you say. Yonr affection has been tbe chief happiness of my bappy life ; you could not desiie, yon oonld uot exact from a wife a deeper love, moie entire and minute, tban I feel for yon. Forgive this one deception, Mal¬ colm; believe me now.''
I wonld fain have been eloquent, but soba choked my voice. I was completely overcome; and wben be forcibly extricated bimself from my bold, I fell almost piostrate at bis feet. He lifted me up coldly, but courteously, and placed me on tbe sofa.
" Pardon me," be said ; " tbis exoitementis too mnch for you, and can do no good. When yon are calmer, we will conclude this matter."
Tbere was tbe same cruel decision of tone and aspeot in his manner wbicb had marked it throagbout tbe interview, and convinced me be still adhered to bis original purpose. I felt my situation was desperate, and tbat tbe time for prayers and tears waa over. Were all my bopes of the fntnre—bis happiness, too, in whicb waa involved my own—to be daahed to pieces against tbe rook of hia unjust sever¬ ity ? Was it required of me to submit pas¬ sively to disgrace and miaery ? In a moment, I too bad taken my resolve, and oonquered my agitation ; I roae np nerved and ^oalm, and apoke accordingly.
'' One word before l^ou leave me," I aaid. " However this ends between us, yon do not, I suppose, desire to inflict upon me unneces¬ sary shame and exposure! I request you, aa a personal favor—it may be tbe last I shall ever ask—to postpone your decision till to¬ morrow, and help me to-day to entertain our friendB as mnch aa possible in the accnatomed manner.   Do you hesitate, Malcolm t"
His faoe flaahed; aome impulae seemed to incline him to refase, bnt he checked it. " It sball be as yon deaire," he Baid coldly ; and left me alone—alone with the oonvlotion of a blaated life !
For a few moments, witb my bands clasped over my eyes, to shut out the redundant san¬ shine, I sat trying to realize my position. Granting that the threatened separation was effected witb a so-oalled dne regard to my honor and fature relations with Bociety, all that I valued and oared for in life would be immediately destroyed. Wbat honor remains lo tbe wife repudiated by an honorable hus- band ? What chanoe of happiness for her when at tbe aame time be is tbe centre of her affeotion, ofall ber worldly ambition andhope t Donbtless, I was tolerant to my own trans¬ gression, but I alone knew the force of the temptation. I alone knew—wbat, olasl I felt my buaband wonld never believe—how near extinction wag the old love smouldering beneath its own contempt, and how atrong the gratitude and esteem he had already exoited. Ob, could I but convince bim of my love for him I I rose np and paced the room. I felt be judged me harshly, was aevere even to cmelty ; but tben I knew tbe innate inflexi¬ bility of his temper, and hia rigorous sense of tmth and duty. I kuew how love, pride, and self-esteem bad been all alike wonnded, and I pitied him even in the extremity of my misery almoat more than I pitied myself, d'ull, I would not accept my ruin at his relentless bands ; I was a true wife, and would not sub. mit to the poaltion of a false one. Ibad vowed to love and honor bim till deatb parted ns, and notbing bnt compulsion sbouid make me abandon my post.
I scarcely know bow I got ihrongh that day; bnt the necessity for self-command was so etringent, that I oould not but meet it. For¬ tunately, our guests were only a few oonntry neighbora, for it was in tbe height of the Lon¬ don season, and I in some measure supported myself hy the belief tiiat their unsuspicious cordiality waa not likely to make any discov¬ eries. Mr. AuBtmtber'B hospitality waa always splendid, aud hia deportment as boat peonli- aily gracious and Inviting, and if there waa any difference on this oocaslon, it would, be inpalpahle to all but a very keen observer. I perceived, indeed, a ohuge in the asfeot of the oountenance I had long studied 100101617, and beyond that, tfae intonation of hia roioa when addressing me fall bud and oonatt^aisd npoamy^hiihkingeai.  It waa orer'at jut,;
and I saw our lat gaest depart: amiUng and oongratiilatprywith the oonflolationat least Mt me that 1 had, acted my part anooessfully.
The next day tbe trial waa renewed. Mr. Auitratfaermote me a few words, saying it waa bla intention toretnrn to .Ua parUamwi- tsry dutiea that day, and tbat he deemed-it advisable I ahoald remain in the- oonntry.-r His flnal^determinatlon and all accessory ar¬ rangements should be made known through tbe lamily lawyer, wbiob would spare the p^n bf a seoond toterriew. " Cmel I" I gaid to myself, oTUsbing the .letter in my nervoas hand, and for a moment a passionate feeling rose in my heart that I would suffsr thtaigs to take their hard coarse, and leave daty and effort nnattempted. It was bat a brief par¬ oxysm ; for tbe aame instant, I saw a tiny, wlilte-robed figure'flitting acroas tbe lawn to¬ wards my open window, and tbe aweet, shrill voloe of our little danghter crying alond, "Mamma, inamma, may I oome inl" I step¬ ped ont and met her; stooped down and kissed the eager, nptniued face; and with that quiet kias I renewed my vow, and strengthened it with a prayer.
" My darling," I said, "go intopapa's study and tell him mamma is coming to speak to bim,if he is not busy."- Stie ran awayou ber errand, and I followed at onoe; I did not mean to be refused. It waa well:I did bo, for be bad already risen, as if to leave the room, and had taken the child in his arms, to cany ber away witb him. .Aa I entered, his face flashed with a mixed expression of anger and pain; bnt he was soon oalm again, sent avay one Uttle girl,'and then placed me a cbair.— " There is no occasion for me to sit," I said, with a voice as steady as oonoentrated resolu¬ tion oonld make it; "I aball not need to de¬ tain you long. I oome to aay, Malcolm, that' I am qnite willing to obey yon, eo far as to re¬ main bere while yon retnm to London, but that I mnst positively refase to have any in¬ terview with your lawyer."
" Yon refuse I"
"I do refase, and that finally," I pursned, "for it would anawer no end. I oonld only tell him what I oome now to tell you, tbat no power save phyaical coercion shall separate me fromyon, I know it ia in ¦nia to exten¬ uate my fanlt in yonr eyes, bat it is at least one on which no legal prooeedinga can be rai¬ sed ; you oannot diTorceyonr wife because sbe told you an ante-nuptial lie. It remains to yon to abandon or malign her, but I will be accessory to no mutual arrangement. My duty is by yonr side while life lasts, whether in weal or woe, and I will hold my poat. Tbat is, henceforth I \W. conaider this oar bome, and will remain here, unleas driven from it. I am now, as before, yonr trae wife in heart and soul, as in word and deed; aa anxious to fulfll my sweet duty to yon, with no hope in life BO atrong aa your foreglveness."
I had said my say, and waa going, for I da¬ red not tmst myself longer, dared not even look into my husband's face to read tbe effect of my worde, but he arrested me witb a per¬ emptory motion.
"Ami to nnderstand, EUinor, that you mean to deiy my determined purpose ; and in spite of alienation and contempt, to insist npon the shelter of my roof, or rather to exile me from a place whiob would be intolerable nnder suoh oiroumstanoes f Do not be afraid, if yon will consent to a formal separation, that the terms of it shall fail in all possible delicacy and liberality, but I oannot live with tbe wife wbb bas cheated me of her first kiss."
" I am resolved," I answered. " I am able to aay no more. I tbink I see my dnty plain, and I mean to strive to do it. Yon must fol¬ low your own will; it will be for me to en¬ dure."
He paced the room in strong excitement.
" I oannot bear it," be said, " it wonld eat my life out I You shall have onr child, EUi¬ nor, if sbe is tbe motive of this strange unwo¬ manly resolution ; far be it from me to tor¬ ture tbe heart of the motber I She shall be yours unreservedly, and her interests siiall never suffer one whit. Yon know bow I love that little creature; there was bnt one thing dearer; jndge then, by this of my intense de¬ aire to Eever tbe connection between ns."
"Cmell nnmercifnl I" I exclaimed, witb an impulse of bitterness I oonld not resiat, bnt I stopped as soon as the words had escaped me: to upl^aid was no part of my purpose.
"It isin vain," I aaid, "to tbink to move me by any words, however hard. I have notbing more to say. Let me go, Malcolm ;" and I turned and fied from the rcom.
FAET II. Then began as bard a stmggle as any woman oonld bave been called' npon to endure. My husband went np to town tbat same day, and parliament sat late that year. Dnring all tbat time, be never wrote to me, nor save from a casual notice ofbim in the papers, did I know anythingof bis movements. The intolerable suspense and misery of sucb a separation may be conceived. My love for him, indeed, was no mere dutiful regaid, hut of tbat profonnd yet passionate nature whicb men of his stem and reticent character seem oaloulated, by a strange contrariety, to excite. Add to thia, tbat I knew myself to be expoaed to the pity¬ ing wonder and snspioion of the world at large.
Mr. Anatrather's character atood abore im¬ putation, but I at tbe best was but a snccess¬ ful parvenve, and bad at length no donbt stumbled into some atrocions fault beyond eren hia infatuation to orerlook. The rery serrants of the houaehold whiapered and mar¬ veled abont me; it waa inevitable that they abonld do ao, but all this added bitterness to anguish.
Worst of all, tbera was a wistful look in Flony's cbildish eyes, and a pathos in her voice aa sbe pressed against my side, to stroke my cheek, andsay: "Foormammal" which almost broke my beart with mingled grief and shame. She, too, had learned in her nursery tbat ber mother had become an object of com¬ passion.
It was tbe deep sense of pain and humilia¬ tion whioh my child's pity excited, wbich aroused me to make some attempt to relieve my position. I sat down and wrote to my husband. I wrote quietly and temperately, though tbere was almost the delirium of de¬ spair in my beart. 1 had proved tbat an ap¬ peal to bis feelings wonld be in vain, and I therefore direoted my arguments to hiB jnatioe. I represented to bim briefly tbat his pro¬ longed negleot and desertion would aoon irre¬ trievably place me in the eyea of tbe world in the poaition of a guilty wife, and tbat for my own aake, bnt stUl more for the sake of onr dangbter, I protested against such injostice. I told bim, if foigiveneaa waa atiU impoaaible, at least to keep up the semblance of respect. I propoaed to join bim in London immediate¬ ly, or to remain where I was, on oondition of his returning home as aoon as parliament waa prorogued.
I waited with unspeakable impatience for a reply to this letter, and the next poet broug)it it. How I blesiied my hnsband'd clemency fsr this relief I My trembling hands could scarce¬ ly break tbe seal; the consideration of the sad diffsrence between tbe past and present seemed to overwhelm me—it was not thus I had been aocustomed to open my husband's letters, feeling like a criminal condemned to read his own warrant of condemnation. The letter was brief, and ran thna: " -As the late events between us have been tbe subject of my intense and incessant deli- beraticn since we parted, I am able, EUinor, to reply to yonr letter at onoe. I consent to re¬ turn and attempt tbe life of hollow deception ybu demand, nnder the expectation that yoti win soon beoome oonvinoed of its impraoUca- bUity, and will then, I oonolnde, be wilUng to eonsent to the formal sepantion wfaioh it is stlil my wiah and pnrpoae to effeoU"
''"Never 1'! I said, eroahing the hard letter ^tween my lianda,"and'then my'paaalonjiong npreaed, bnist forth, and thowlng^myseU on ny kneea by zny bediids, I wept and groaned
in agony of soul. Oh I I had hoped tUl tben —^boped tbat time might have softened him, that the past might have pleaded with him for tbe absolution of that one transgression.— Had my sin been bideed so great that tha panlsbment waa so intolerablef And then I thought it aU over again, aa I had done athon- sand times before in that dreary interval, weighing my temptations against my offence, and trying to place myself in my hnsband's position. I did not wlah to justify it: it.waa a groas deception, a deUberate falseneea:;r.but then I was. wilUng to prostrate myself ia- the dnst, bith before Ood andmy husband, and to beg forgiveness in thelowest termsof hnmUla- and penitence. But the- pardon granted me by the Divine, waa steadily refnsed by the human judge—against his hard impenetrabi. lity I might dash my bleedbig heart in -vain. What Bhonid I do? What sboald I do? Wbioh was tbe path of duty !. And fraU and passion¬ ate aal was, how oonld I hold on iaauoh a ragged way?. Had 1 not better eaooamb?^ Boflier myself to be put away, aa he desired, and close the door of hope on what was left of life f My ohUd—he said be wonld givame up my child. Then reaolution aroae renewed.— For that child's sake,; I would not yield. I could not endure the tbongbt of sepaiating ber from,such a father's love, oare, and pro¬ tection, and .of :0hastening. with sorrow^'and humiliation ber opening girlhood. No, with Sod's help she should yet honor and revere her mother. However my husband judged me, tfaat one fault had not cut me off from all moral effort hereafter. I would not be van¬ quished by it. I wonld, as I had aaid, keep my post as wife, inside, if need be, on external forms, and leave no means untried of patience, meekness, and womanly art, to melt down the iron barrier between ns.
I shonid weary the reader if I detailed aU, the minnte plans I formed, bal at last I roae np from the prayera by wbich I strove to strengthen and sanctify my pnrpose with a firm heart and new-bom bops of sacqtss,— That erening, I sent for Florry to keep me company in tbe drawing-room; I told her farorite atorlea, played her favorite tunes, and joined with ber in singing a simple evening- hymn, whiob waa ber supreme deUght. Tben I took her np to tbe nnraeiy myaelf, and bade her good-night wilh as mnch of the .serene feeling of old as perhaps I oonld ever hope to know again.
I alao, holding my huabsnd's letter in my band, told the assembled servants I expeoted their master home to-morrow, and gave the necessary orders in suoh a natural and collect, ed manner as mnat bave gone far to disarm their suspicions. Then then night—tbein the expected day. I knew the honr when be must necessarily arrive, and, taking Florry with me, I went to a certain part of the grounds which commanded a view of tbe pnblic road. I was extemaUy calm; the morning's disci¬ pline bad made me tbat, bnt the subdued ex¬ oitement was intenae. Fiony ran and chat¬ tered by my aide aa ohUdren &o, little gueaa- ing, poor innocents, the cmel strain they often make on their mother's patience. It chanced, as sometimes happens, tbat tbe very intensity ofour anxiety cansed ns lo miss our object; the train was evidently behind time, and onr attention, so long kept at fnll stretch, began to Blacken, so that wben Florry, wbo bad wandered to some little distance from me, espied tbe oarriage, it was ao near thepark- gatea, that thero was no chance of onr reach¬ ing the bonse before It. I waa vexed at my pnrpoae being thna partially defeated, and, taking the child'e band, hurried baok by tbe Bhorteat routs.
Mr. Aatmther was waiting na in the accus¬ tomed room. StiU boiding Florry'a hand, I went in to face the dreaded meeting. The first glance at bis face nearly overcame me, he looked so wom and barasBod; trae, that might have been from parliamentary hours and hard committee-work, but it ia a plea a woman's beart can rarely withstand. Florry ran into bis arms, talking eagerly of how glad we were to see bim, and how dnll poor mamma bad been without him, and the momentary diver¬ sion gave roe time to raUy my faiUngcalmneas. " We are very glad you are come bome, Mal¬ colm," I said at laat, approaching bim, and laying my band on hia. " Are you rery tired? Do not tronble to dress before dinner to.day.'' Perhapa my self-poasesaion waa orerdone, so difficult is it in anch caseB to keep the golden mean; for 1 Baw the nsnal oolor monnt eren to his forehead, aud he replied in a hurried voice, as be alightly returned the pressure o' my hand; " I oonld scarcely sit down to table in thia state—I shall not keep you waiting long;" and with Florry in his arms—I could aee how he tightened bis embrace of the ohilj —^he left the room.
I did not sit down and weep, altbongh I was aick at beart. I bad imagined it wonld be something like this, snd bad fortified myself to endure it. Ieat there thinldng, tiU I heard him oome down stairs, and tben I went into the drawing.room. Immediately on my en¬ trance, dinner was announced, and he offered his arm to lead me to the room, just aa he had alwaya been aconstomed tc do when we were alone. There was no hesitation, no percepti¬ ble difference in bis manner; I saw he had made up his mind to do it. Daring dinner, we talked bat Utile, but even in days of old he bad been wont to be absent and tacltum.— Florry came in witb tbe dessert, and ber sweet prattle was felt to be a gracions relief by both. I Boon rose and took ber away with me, keep¬ ing her with me, and amnsing ber witb talk and music nntil her bedtime. My husband joined me at tbe usual time, and thongh be did not volantarily converse, he'repUed to anything I aaid without apparent conatraint. Before tbe servanta, bis manners were scrupu- lonaly as of old; indeed, bo undemonstrative was bis natural character, that it required no very great effort for him to appear tbe same. I indeed felt a radical differenoe, wbich cut me to tbe heart; the bard tone, the aveitod or chilly glance convinced me of the reality of OUT altered relations. Could I live snch a ^as this?—ao near, yet ao far off. I bad Hvague perception thatevery day we spent like this would make tbe separation more complete and fatal. Had I not better make one last attempt before I waa ohUled into si¬ lence and fear of him ? Perhaps he resented tbe dignified and all bntperemptoiy tone Ihad aaanmed in my letter, and was stUl tobe mov¬ ed by entreaty and penitence. Acting on the vague hope, I put down tbe work on wbioh I had tried to engage myself, and wentnp to tbe sofa on which he waa lying.
"Malcolm," Iaald,leauing over the head of it, partly to sustain my trembling limbs, partly to seoure a position of advantage, " is tlilB tbe way we are to live togetber f I oan¬ not resign myaelf to it withoat a word, with¬ oat knowing better what are your feelinga to¬ wards me. Am I to believe you wiU never forgive me ?   Do yon hate me ?'
He rose impatiently from bia recumbent at¬ titude, 80 aa to be able to look into my face.— " What do you mean by forgiveneea, EUinor?" was his anawer—" tbe old love and esteem re¬ stored ? Your own sense must oonvinoe you that yoa aak an imposBibUity—a broken, mir. ror can't be pieced agahi. Don't let us rake np tbe miaerable ashea of onr fend. I am beie at your deaire, wiUing to maintain your
compel me. to to say. what had better remahi unsaid. I repudiate your Inasted love, which yon parade aa ifit were the triamph of vlrtne. Had it been mine, as I beUeved and youswore it waa before Ood, it shoald have been the crown, and.glory of my.llfe ; as It.is I. oare notliing for a aentiment provoked by habit, and cheriahed as s pobit of calcniated duty.— One word more: yon think me cruelly intol¬ erant, but Imust follow the bent ofmynature. Some lies I could (orgive—qr eyen, perhaps, some groaser ains—bat yonrs cheated me into an inevooable aot, and defraoded ine of the best and strongest feelings of my nature. Do I Iiate,yon? Na,Ioannathate Flony's moth¬ er and my own intimate and .cherished com¬ panion; but I hate myself for haying been befooled EO, grossly, and almost loathe the wealth and Its aocessoriea for which yon peij ur¬ ed your soul."
I was silent, bnt it was by a powerfal effort, I could scarcely restrain myself, with all my power of self-control, (rom saying : "How tbat I understisdypu (ally, let ua part; I oould not brook the mocke.ry of interoourse." Bnt the thonght of Florry closed my straggling lips.. "For her Bake, for ber sake," I repeat¬ ed to myself. "The last hope, the last, the last ohanee of happiness is gone, but duty re¬ mains." I looked np at my husband, deadly -j;iale,.I knew, but oalm. "Are you resolved,". I asked," to separate from me erentnally ?— 1 olaim it from yoar honor to anawer me that question now.?'
"I care little," he said bitterly. "The sharpness of the sting must abate some dayi and we shall become indifferent, like our. neighbors; meanwhUe, the effort may be sal¬ utary. No," he added haughtily, as he per¬ ceived I waa not satisfied with the reply, " I sm wiUing to pledge my word tbat I wUl never force you into a separation on tbis ao¬ coant So long aa yoa think proper to claim my protection, it is yonrs, only wemust avoid such scenes as these ;" and so the case slood between as.
From that time, my UCe became a bard mo¬ notony. To aU appearanoe tbere waa no change in our relations;  we went the same ronnd In social life as of old, and, aa I have said-before, my husband's nataral oharaoter gave little scope for selfbetrayal.   OccasionaUy, some oatstde comments reached us, hut they were generaUy expressive of tbe beUef that Mr. Anatrather's temper was becoming more mo¬ rose tban ever, and of pity for tba poor wife who was aUied to it.   He oertainly did become more irritable and exacting.   I oonld see daUy the bitter effects tbat his disappointment in my sincerity produced, bow bis fins natnre was growing warped and soured.   It was not BO mucb towards myself tbat these eS^is were manifested—hskept too rigid a control over our relations; but it grieved me to notloe It in his impatience witb his inferiors, and even with our little tender Flony, and in his cyni¬ cal and crael judgment of the world at large. He bad always been rery muoh absorbed In poUtical affairs, and ambitions for diatinction, but now be aeemed to throw heart and sonl withont reserre into tbe arena, and to strag¬ gle for the atakes with an eagerness of a gam¬ bler.   Tbere Iiad ceased to be any couimu- nion hetween ns.   In past days, bopes and schemes had been disonaaed with me, and I waa proud to believe my infiuence had ofteu availed with bim for good.   I cannot deaoribe the intenaity of my misery at this time.   Not to speak of alienation and mistrust in   tbe midst of daUy interoonrae, whioh alone oon¬ tains almost the bitterness of death, I aaw my¬ self the oause of deterioration In one dearer to me than life, and He who meted my punish¬ ment to my offence knows tbat no heavier oross could bave been laid upon me.   Once or twice, I again attemp'ted expostulation, bnt I soon learaed to desist; it was of no avaU, but to provoke aome haid reply,  which would otherwise bave remained unapoken.   Then I tnmed to my daughter : it waa for her sake I endured this life, this daily martyrdom, and I wonld not miss my reward.   1 devoted myself to ber education, so far as my numeroaa avo. catioua allowed, for I waa scrapaloua in the performance of all the duties of my station, and in any which my buaband would snffer me still to perform for him.   I strove with in- teuBe anxiety to make her attractive to her fa¬ ther, and to oaltivate ber affection and esteem for him.   That be loved ber passionately, I knew, but, as was bia wont, he manifested the feeling bnt Httle; perhapa in tbis oase he was checked by her inevitable preferenoe for ber mother, 01 by the difficulty of ever having her to himself.   To me,  ahe was tbe one solace and spur of existence, and life began to brighten when, resigned to snffer myself, I dreamed and planned ber fatnre.
Tbus, more than a year passed on monoto¬ nously ; fraitlesaly, bo far as I oould see, for my husband was as far off from me as ever.— Some times, indeed, 1 hoped Z had extorted aome portion of reapect from bim by the sus¬ tained performance of my routine of duty, but his beart aeemed turned to stone.
At last the gloomy depth waa stirred. O God I I bad prayed for tho luovemeut of the healmg angel's wing, not for a stroke of jndg¬ ment I
One evening dniing the aeaaion, I was sit. ting np awaiting bia retum from tbe Honse. I waa not accustomed lo do so, bnt on this oc¬ caaion, I waa deeply interested in the resultof tbe night's debate, and added to that, I was uneasy about Florry, who had been alightly ailing all day, and aeemed increasingly restless aa the evening advanced. When be came in be looked surprised to see up, for it was al¬ ready nearly Ihree o'olock in Ihe morning, and I conid see that he aeemed wearied and an¬ noyed.
" You are anxioua, I suppose,'' he said, "fcr the news I bring ? Well, tbe ministers are thrown out."
I knew be, and, Indeed, tbe oountry in gen¬ eral, bad been quile unprepared for snch a re¬ sult, and that personally it was a severe mor¬ tification to him. Aa I Involuntarily looked at bim with an expression of earnest ooncem I hardly ventured to express, I aaw bla face aof¬ ten. Perhapa in that moment of rexation, be yearned for tbe sympathy of old. Should I dare to risk anotber appeal?
" Malcolm," I said ; but at tbe now nnfa- mUiar name, bis brow olonded again, and I flnished my speech with some meaaured ex¬ pressions of regret. I knew I should damage my cause if I were to attempt to press into my serrice a momentary weakness be was aahamed to feel. I oould not, bowever, oom¬ mand my feelings suffloiently to speak of Florry, and afler leaving him, I flew np stairs to my ohUd's room, and putting down my can¬ dle, sunk on my knees by her bedside. Oh, bow my heart ached 1 I felt tbis Ufe waa kiUing me, and that one of my momenls of abandonment waa come. Before, however, I gave (ull rent to my tears, I'pansed midway, as it were, to look at Florry, and that look dried them np. I felt my cheek blanch, my eyea start; I felt—who has not felt it ?—a premonitory horror cbUl my blood. I had left her pale and restless an hour before, now her face was tinged with a crimson beat, ber Ups dry and parted, and she was moaning hearUy. 1 touched her burning hand, her burning brow> and the shadow of that awful calamity seemed to faU before me.   I did not moan, I did not
;aUmy faonUies,in suspense;.-no tear mnst blind my eye, no tremor unnerve my faand, nn¬ tU this ajfony had reaclied its crisis: tfaen let. life and hope go out together.
,Hy husband and., .the docior oame in after wiiat seemed to beanintoienbleinterral, bnt at first I'only saw but one. 'Who knows not in such oa^ iio|r the rery aoxd seems faang¬ ing on the pbysloian's first glance, drinking life or death trom it? I drank death. The steady professional gaie did not deceive me, bnt the stroke was beyond my taxed endu¬ rance, and I feU senseleaa on tfae floor.
Tfaank God, it waa bnt a brief weakness. For tfae few days tfaat tfaat sweet life was left to me, I beld my post unconscious of fatigue, en¬ abled to oomfort and sustain, and even smUe upon my darling through faer brief straggle witb deatfa. Ood bowed my atubborn heart, and atrengthened me with tbe might of sub¬ mission. I seemed. In the strong light of this flery trial, to see the past mors olearly, to ao¬ knowledge tfaat I had'not hambled myself safflclently imder the chastisement of my own Bin.
It was midnight when she died. I waa hold- fag her in my arms, fauahed and grief-stricken, wben I saw that unspeakable change paas over the sweet face which teUa tbe sinkfaig heart the awful iionr ia come. Her laboring breath flnttered on my oheek, the look of love that StiU Ungered in the glazhig eyes fixed npon my (aoe died ont, and I waa chUdiess.
My hasband was standing at the foot of the bed, watching the scene witfa an agony all the keener that be suffered no expreaaion of it to escape, but as the last faint straggle ceased, and the baby-head feU prone npon my breast, I saw the strong frame quiver, and dropa of perspiration start npon his forehead.
" God forgive me," be said in a stifled wbia¬ per, " for every harsh word spoken to tbat angel, ohUd I" Then aa hia eyea fell, as If in¬ voluntarily, upon me, tbe expression of stern anguiah softened for a moment to one of plty- mg tenderness. " Poor ElUnor I—poor moth¬ er I" he added, " you think me a hard man, but Qod is my witneaa, I would havo saved you that Uttle Ufe at tbe cost of my own."
" It would have been bnt a cruel compro¬ miae," I anawered; " aud yet—O my darUng, how I have loved you 1"
My hasband had turned away a moment, as if to pace the room, bnt at the sound of my cry of irrepressible anguiah, be came back haatUy to the bedside, and bending over me, tried to separate me gently from the dead child in my arma.
Aa I felt the touch of his band, bia breath npon my cheek, oareeaing, warm as of old. It recalled, even in that monient of supreme be¬ reavement, the passionate yearning of jay heart, and yielding to the unoontiollable im¬ pulse, I threw my arms ronnd his neck.
" Only give me back wbat is in yom power," I oried—" give me back your love and trust— our old happiness, Malcolm, and eveu the death of our child will not seem too hard a saoriflce 1"
There was a moment's breathless pause, then he raiaed me In his arma, and strained me to his heart in a close vehement embrace.
"God forgive me," he said, "for what I have made yon suffer I If your love has sur¬ vived my long intolerance I may well trnat yon, EUinor. If I have the power left to com¬ fort yon, be lo me again all, and more thanaU tbat I remember in the sweet past. A hun¬ dred timea dnring the last fow melancholy daya bave I been on the point of coufeaaing my injustice, and entreating your forgiveneaa; only it seemed like a mean thing to take ad¬ vantage of the softness of sorrow. Life is not bearable without you, EUinor: only satisfy me once more that I have uot worn out your beart—that it is not magnanimity, bnt love." I did aatiafy bim. We began henceforth a new life, chaatened, indeed, by tbe ahadow of a liitie grave, but a Ufe, I truat, humbler and more bleaaed than tbe old past bad been.

BBANDY AS A MEDICINE
THE following article waa voluntarily eent to Mr. H. S. SLAYMAKEB, Agent for Beigart's Old Wine Store, In thia elty, by a promi¬ nent practising Physician of tbta connty, who has ex- tensirely osed the Brandy referred to In hid regular practice- It ie commended to the altention of those afflicted with Indigeatlon or Dyspepsia:
BBANDT AS A MEDICINE:—Thla now much abased alcobellc stimnlant was nerer Intended as a bererage, bot was osed as a medicine of great poteacy aod raiJa- billty in the care of some of the most destrnctlTe and rirolent diseases, which swept before them tfaeir annnal thoaaaitda of rtctima. Aside from the Indiepenitabla oee of alcoholln the arts andmanaCactnre3,wa, with, a poraly pbUontfaroplc motire, intend to preaent to the farorahle notica of invalids—especlaUy those atfilcted with that protean and miaerable disease, Dyspejitia— a specific lemedy is nothing more aor leua th&a BBANDT. Tfae aged, with feeble appetites, and more or leas debUity, wUl find this simple -medicine, when osed pioperly. a soTerelga remedy for aU their iila and aches. Bot sinco wo hara recommended thla as a remedy, belt, howerer, atrictly anderatood tfaat wa pra- Bcrlbe and use bntone article, aod that Is "J^^/G^Bl'^* OLD BRANDY,"—eold by our soterprtalog ;oung friend, H.E. Slatxaxbb. This brandy has stood tfa* test for years, and baa never failed, as far as onr axpa¬ rienee extends, and we tfaerefore gire It tha preference orer all other brandies—nomstter withhow manyjaw- breaklng French titles tbey are branded. One-foorth ofthe inoney that la yearly Ihrown away on rarloas impotent dyapepsla apeclfica, would aoffice to bay all tbe brandy to core any sach eaiie or cases. Wa bare oftea beaa adrised by prominent cltlzeas In oor neighbor¬ hood—who are strictly temperate—to publish the rlr¬ tues of this brandy. In this all perradlng malady, as it would in a manner abolish the boat of wooid-ba qoaek remedies, with which inrallds are so ootrageoosiy hnmbngged, and brlog cbeer and comfort to many a desolate flreside. In proof of wiiat Reigart's Old Brandy has accomplished aa a remedy, in the diaeasea to wfalcu wa hare allnded, we can snmmon qnlte a respectable number of persons, who will freely testify as to tbe great and laatlng benefits they bare derlred from its oae aa a medicine. Sereral canes of the moat lnracerRt« from of Dyapepeio—whare it prored Boccaasfol—ahoold alone uoffice to conrlnce any liberal mind that Old Brandy la InfalUble. Ooe caae in partleolar we will cite:—A hard working farmer had been aflllcted with anexfaaoatlng dyspepala for a numberof years; bis stomach woiUd reject almost erery kind of food; be hod soar ernctations constantly—no appetite—in fact, ha was obliged to restrict bla diet to crackers and stale bread, and as a bererage fae used McGrann's Boot Bear. Ha is a Methodiat. and than, ae now, preached at times, and in his dlscoarse oftan declaimed earneaUy against aU kinds of strong drink. Whan adrisad to try Rei~ gart's Old Brandy In his case, he looked np with aston¬ ishment; but after relating Its wonderful effects in the casea of aome of his near acqualatancas, he at last con¬ sented to foUow DOT adrice. He need the brandy fatth- faliy and staadUy; tbe flret botUa glrlng him an appetite, and before the aecond woe all Lsken ha woe a Bonad man, witha stomach capable of dlgcatlog any thing whioh he chose to eat. Ha atili keeps It and aaea X UtUe occaaionally; aod, moreorer, aince he haa tbta medicine, ha has been of rery llttia pecanlary benefit to the doctor. If any are skepUcol, or heUera this !a writtan to benefit aoy llqoor dealer, we can. if reqaired, gire a cerUflcate endorsed by qolta a respectable nnmtHr of peraona, wfao b^ra been cored by It, aod wfao wUi at anytime cbeerfoUy testify aa to Its enperior healthy rirtaes In dyspepsia, aad aU diseases of a debUlatlng character. Thoae desiring to use tfals braody will obtain full directions of Mr. Slaymaker; bnt sneh as desire to use it for Intoxicating purposes, we adrisa to rather suffer with dyapepsla, and let Bagarts old brandy gat older, or nntU they can form a reaolntion to use it as a medlelne.
