And his eye lit up with ft glcim of Joy, As an angel dream passed o'er him.
Ho carved that di-cam on a shapeless stono
With manj- a sharp incision- Tiiatangel dream he had made Iiis own.
Ho had caughi that angel vision.
Sculptors of life nro we as wc .sf and
Witb our souls uncar^-ed before us. W.aiting an liour, when at God's command.

THE iOST IADY OF LINWOOD HAIL.
The beach was so beautiful that uight, or rather that twilight—for these long summer days bj- the sc.vslioro scarcely seem to die out even at midnight—a greeu, transparent, spiritual light trans¬ fusing its strange and subtle luster ovcr the atmosphere, loug after it sliould be nightfall. Tbe fading d.iy that is pass¬ ing, and tlie blooming day that is com¬ ing seem to embrace each other. I felt the passion of their rapturous kiss thrill through me as I walked on the shore.
It was not midnight, however, ^but early evening. The white-iiebbled shore, the lazily waving water, glistened yet with the flush of a late sunset. To walk barefoot along the sand in tlie crinkle ofthe ocean-washed shells, and tho faint foam of the waves breaking indolently along the beach, was my royal ijleasure this evening. Holding my slioes in one Iiaud, aud my dress higli out of the water with the other, ami rejoicing in a delightful senso of freedom, I danced along, singing a gay little song, aud throwing out a pebble now and thon to tempt Carlo, the lazy fellow, out for a swim. It never occur¬ red to mo that auy mischievous eyes might be inspecting the ciiild's play from the tangle of trees hanging over tlie rocks above, where night already brooded. I was startled when a clear voico called my name from tbe hight overlooking the shore. "Jenny! Jenny!" I looked up, and beheld Rachel come swinging down tlie steep path way,bold- ing herself fast by alittleyoungsapling. llachel was tall and beiiutituUy form¬ ed, aud agile as a panther. Sho reached theground from that perilous descent witll surprising swiftness.
" \Vhy Jenny, whiit in tbe name of theJ^aiads, my dear!—.ire you takiug Mermaid-orders .-ilroady ? Haven't got your mirror aud comb yet, have you? Bare-footed, lia! ha! Well, you look like a princess rigged out for Neptune's Court. AVhat would Aunt Martha say, to be sure?"
By which time she had loosened the ties of her owu snug little slippers, and laying tliera upon a stone, started for a race aloug the smooth strand.
Up aud down, sometimes dancing in¬ to the water, sometimes half-way up the rocks, we frolicked along, till the white moon camo round tbe corner of Driswood Peak, and paused a moment to reflect what fantastic figure's these might be, skimming before her. She threw some sharp shadows at us from the rocks above, -whitened and deepen¬ ed the throbbing water, and vailed the distant horizon with a haughty mist.— Thig change somewhat dampened onr spirits, and we sat down to rest aud put on our shoes for a homeward journey.
"Well Rachel," said I, as we walked along, or rather scrambled along the stony path Wiiy, ovor whoso rough rocks the slim shadows of the trees fell sol¬ emnly iu the moonlight, "it's lonely enough here to suit your imagination, even. Suppose a robber should pounce- out upon us now—'your money or your life,' you know—and we hadn't the mouey."
" I'd offer him my silver shoe-buckles and a bit of moonshine," said Rachel. "Xonsense!" exclaimed a rough voice in the bushes; at whieh I am afraid, notwitlistandiug our braveiy, we both gave a little start, more natural than dignified.
"'Who are you, I'd like to know?" said Rachel, lookiug about courageous¬ ly.   " If any one dares—,'
"Eh, lass? ye ken me -weel enougli iu the daytime, but moonlight jdays strange tricks wi' folks. I heerd ye .siicering abont higliivaynicn, an' the Iilce o' that, as I'se looking ui) my cow —the liizzie has strayed away. I thought I'se gie yo a word, just to let ye ken folks were stirring."
"Going our -wiiy, Robert?" I asked, recognizing the man uow — a rough Scotch fishermau.-wlio lived iua hut on shore, aud whose wifejofteu sold flsh in the farm house where we were boarding. "'Deed am I, Miss. I'se reckon I'd walk mony a mile so save the buckles on a leddy's shoon," said Robert, mis- eliievously.
"Jfo danger in tliese piirts now, I guess," Silid Rachel; "though, tobo sure, it's wild enough hereabouts for Robin Hood and his merry men."
"Wow!" exclaiiiied;Robort; "he'd be weel pleased -wi' this ticket. He might shut.himself up o' nights iu yon anld house, iu place of ganging round his baru ilka e'en."
Tlie old bouse to which he called our attention, just showed the tops of its cliiniiieys over tho tall trees on the ris¬ ing grouml beyond. Its roof, gloeriug in tlie moonlight, loomed out through the dense foliage like a sinister smile on an evil counteniiuce.
" The likes o» that house, aud o' them that lived in it, is na seeu iu theso parts noo,"   soliloquized  Robert.     "Grand
folk, and up to all sorls o' plca.santry.	
Guidsalce! the liids .ind hisses, now-a- days, have to speer so sharp for their porridge, it's little time thoy have, and little siller to spare in sie like divar- .sliuus,"
" Yes," said Rachel, " whoever lived there must have. had plenty of eujoy ment.   So largo a housi;—the sightof such great rooms makes one yawn."
"Yes,lassie; ye'U ne'rsee sicbraw do¬ ings now-a-days. Somehow, I'm think¬ ing they were a larger kind o' folk, and had grander ways a'thegither. Tliey didna take tilings weary like, but did their playing, and their prayiug with all their might, as a body might say. It's all I have agin the lauds and led- dys o' the old placo ayout—they'd be speeriu after a priest, and chantiu' wi' a' their lugs, to put the good God in miud o' them like, lest he'd happen for¬ get them twixt so many!" " They were Catholics^ then, Eob(^" "Hout, yes! When they were not feastui' they were sure fistin', and couldna rest quiet one minute, for fear the Vargin 'ud grumble, I miud hear¬ ing my grannie tell aboot a grand ball gi'eu there,three days and tliree nights, aud after all the blithe company went away, the leddy told her lord of a vow she'd takeu to fast and pray for three lang days iu a wee bit closet, built away in the loft, apurpose for the saints, to
keep them from being fashed wi'all the music and dancing. She'd a cross there, and a rosary lang enough forany ne'er-do-weel to count off his sins on, and lots o' bones^o' nobody ketis wha— a guid place enough for nny sinner. So, the leddy, flittin' up stairs, gave orders that none suid aiiturb her for three days running. And she took ^^eT iiread and water Into the wee oloset, nnd shut herself In. The leddy -was -very strict, ye mind, an'uot a soul in the house dared whisper at the door. So the old laird went off abunting, aud left her there. He came back at e'en o' the thiid day, and the door had not been opened. So he raps, and calls my led¬ dy, and-gits uo answer; and thinking happen she'd fallen asleep, or fainted, an' it so late, the saints themselves mouglit be satisfied, he takes out hi.-5 lang liuntin' kuife and thrusts open the loek. Alack tlio day! I reckon he dpened his e'en wider yet when he spied the place as empty as a bogie's pouch. My leddy hadna gone up to heaven, ye'U understand; she'd ta'cn an easier flight, through the wiudow of her closet, that led out ower a steep hill —where, gin the climbiu' was rough, she'd a braw giillant to help her alcng wi' it."
" And what did his lordshii) do then, Robert ?"
"Hech! I dinna ken. I've heard my grannie tell (hat he shaved the hair from the top of his crown and weut away for a monk. But he came baek loug after, one roaring, rainy day, an' a black nun wi' him. Au' the old ser¬ vants that kept thoiiiouse kenned weel the face of their Icdciy, though she did ua' lift her e'en. I warrant she glinted up-stairs, down, and wae enougli, to tell her beads, as they call it, in the bit closet. He flitted ahint her wi' the dell in his eye, softly, softly, and put tliedag- ger into her heart iu the very face o' the virgin." "It's ail true, Robert, ofoourse?" "Aweel, aweel! I'll no say that; but I dinna fash myself wi' old wives' gossip. Mayhap it's uot an ower true tale. Some cranky carl, I'll warrant, gave the story sic' a turn, and put the bluid in it to paint it up like."
" Well, Robert, we're very much ob¬ liged to you—this is our path uow, and ¦we'll ruu homo in no time."
"Gude nicht," said Robert, touching his old slouched cap, with that rare courtesy which uever forsakes the poor¬ est of old Scotland's children; " may j'c wear siller buckles iu your shoon for many a day wi' as light a step, lassie!" " Poor old Scotchman!" said Rachel, as he disappeared iu the brushwood; "talkof equality, to be sure! It would do his old heart good uow, just to have somo fine Lady o' Linwood Hall to wor¬ ship. I verily believe the knights and squires of high degree, aud the silken- robed ladies, with gay pages pniuking after them to hold up their costly trains, were as necessary to poor. folks iu the olden time as fine pictures and statues aud music are to us. The liberty peo¬ ple are raving after spoils all their ro¬ mance, and makes no high, no low—a tiresome, flat, dead level. For my part, I think those old farm-houses, little cabins, aud fishing huts would have moro meaning, grouped as appendages to some sturdy baronage, with somo noble lady to do the honors of those fine old rooms—eh, Jenny?"
" Iv'o," said I.   " Liberty and log cab¬ ins for me!   But what  do you know about it, Eaeliel?   Maybe your fine old rooms are nothing but a bundle of pi¬ geon-holes, after all!" "Beeu there!" said Rachel. " Beeu there!" I echoed.   "Wlien? I thought you were up at the school!" " Have beeu to school to Old Fatiicr Timo.   He keeps in yonder dilapidated mausion, aud is iu want of pupUs.— Noiv dou't be frightened, my dear child, nor ask too  many questions, and I'll show you somethiug, aha!"
She lifted her silk apron, and, draw¬ ing the 'someth ing' from uuder its folds, held up triumphantly in the moonlight a rusty dagger. Small, keen, and treach¬ erous it looked, as she flourished it over her head for my amazement.
"Reward of merit, presented byan old ghost UD yonder," said she, fitsteu- ing it baek proudly in her girdle. "You know Old Hannah, the peddler woman; she was up iit the house to-day just as I was getting ready for school. I bought a bit of ribbon, and Wiilked a wiiys along
the road  witli  hor.     Ttc   oM   auul   Ulta
lived in these parts abont a century, I guess, aud sho told me pretty nearly the same story as Robert. She bewitch¬ ed me with her talk till I couldn't con¬ tain myself for curiosity, aud set ofl" post-haste on an exploring expedition." " And what did you flnd ?" "Ah,never you miud! Bo a good child, and I'll tako you there some day. I'm owner of a castle now, and must be treated with proper respect. It will be all owiug to my royal clemency if I don't behead inquisitive folks!"
Ourstay in L was notto bea very
long one.   Cousin Rachel and I had been sent out to Aunt Martha's farm to recruit our health in the country air, and to enjoy a sort of half-holiday for a few weeks, keeping up our studies by an occasional attendance at the village seminary.   I am sorry t» say that our conduct as students on parole was not exemplary; for Rachel and I, wild with our unaccustomed liberty and absence from home restraint, threw books to the wind. Our good Aunt Martha, who im¬ agined that I was especially delicato, was amazed to see her invalid leap fences, climb hills, and trudge aboutthecountry iu gip.sy fashion.   My health was deli¬ cate. I considered it so, and determined ;tliat it should uot suffer the prejudicial effects of indoor confinement. Oneof the most exciting adventures  we proposed to ourselves at present -svas an excursion to that neighboring " castle," of whieb, and her adventures therein, Rachel per¬ sisted in  making a  special  mystery. Early one dewy morning, bofore tho sun had determined how hot it should be, we  prepared our luncheons of boiled egsss and home-made bread, and set out on a pilgrimage.   We took a cross-cut over the fields.   It was a lonely, quiet day; fleld and hedge, over-arched by the bluest sky, glistened lu the summer sun, as solitary as though the distant, bust¬ ling city  wore  ouly  a  dream.   Over this route not a glimpse of cottage, not a wreath of curling smoke -was to be seeu; habitations of men were as invisi¬ ble as though we two wore the only dwellers iu  the serene  earth.    From the tall oaks and maples that .bordered the  daisied  meadows,   a joyous bird sang ei-ery now  aud theu a gushing song, without auy  apparent suspieion of guns or traps, or any other eare what ever.
After walking about two miles, ive climbed a high fence, and mijking our way throngh a luxuriant tangle of black¬ berry and rose bushes, that overhung the pathway of a narrow winding lane, found buiselves, rather the -woree for our thorny conflict, at a small gateway. The tops of many elder bushes Bwung their Boented bldssoms over it, and the tall grass and -wild flowers growing at its foot, prepared to tripnp the intruder. But aU these enemies -were to be van¬ quished, for looking across this -wilder¬
ness of rampant growth, the wide por¬ tals, and long piazza ofthe back of the house -were plainly visible—suggestive, solitary, silent. .  .        .      ;
"HoWin the-R-orld, Rachel," said I, "didyou ever get through this alone? I can't imagine—your feet -and hands must have been horribly scratched -with these malicious brambles."  '        -
"Bythe might of my right arm," answered Rachael, in a knightly man¬ ner, and flourishing out her rusty dag¬ ger, she attacked the enemy with a spirit that made them fall before her.
Rachel seemed to be perfectly at home, aud making her way across a weed-covered terrace, ascended the rickety steps. The steps were low and broad, but the boards were shrunken and loose, aud the flooring of the piazza much broken ii-ivay. It echoed iiiefully as we stepped upon it. The great door ^^"ils half open ; at the first sound of foot fall, a thin, gray cat sped away out of the opening like a swift specter.
" It's a lonely Jilace," s.iid I; "that old jjuss looks like a witch."
JSIy oonipanion was too iutent upon making her way within, to pay heed to such silly suggestions. She swung the door open, and entered, like a princess tailing possession of her rightful domain. A wide hall aud a winding staircase, whose balustrade had fallen in mauy places, showed dustily aud sleepily iu the dim light of the opeu door. The hall was very long, its further end hiy¬ ing quue iii-stiadow.
" D'on'TCe frightened," said lliichel. " Come along up! I'll .show you the flnestsight you oversaw in your life.'' xVt the head of the staircase, a creaking shutter, swinging on one hinge, iigainst an oriel window, let in asiiectral, shim¬ mering light on the upper lauding and tho continuous stairwtiywiiidiiiggloom¬ ily up to the top of the honse. The iirin- ccss trudged awiiy ahead, and thrusting her useful dagger through one of the tiny panes, swung bacli the shutter. It fell witll a tbundei-ing souud to tho roof of the piazza below, aud the brilliant sun¬ shine bristling iu, showed the window of crimson glass, much dihipidated, but shedding a ro.sy gloom, enlivening, though mysterious.
"There!" said Raeiiel, at liist, as wo paused at a small door at the end of the pas.^iige, feeling somowliat dusty and cobwobbed. "Enter, tmd receive tlie reward of valor." And swinging wido the d'Ciiking door, we enterod a tiny apartment of cabinet. Its walls were paneled with diirk oalc wood, som¬ ber aud unpolished, and iuaiiiel^hung a crucifix, dusty aud begrimed, with age; it sliook aud nodded weirdly iis the door jarred back iigainst the WiUl.
But I scarcely noticed the room, so surprised and rapt was I with the scene which shone through au open window, occujiying the whole cud ofthe diminu¬ tive chamber. This window was bor¬ dered round witll small,'diamond-shap¬ ed crimsou panes, yot almost entire ; and til e wide sash inthe center, ofcleai', plate-glass, opening from the middle, looked out ou tlie wildest profusion of foliage—royal oak and bending birch swaying tlieir branches under the very casement. It was only n little leap out, and yo^ reached the hill, whieh, rising steep and rocky against the side of the edifice, shut it iu like a wall.
" There, my young friend," said Ra¬ chel, p:itronizingly, "I hiiven't auy guide-book; but, if I'm uot much mis¬ taken, this is the oratory of the Lady of Linwood—and here is the way slie took to escape with her gallant lover. Rather rough walking for a fair lady; but you and I could have done it, yoii know."
Th is was the only wiu do w in the room, and its singular position gave to the se¬ cluded apartment a peculiarly lonely a.spept, well fltted for acts of penance and/counting of rosaries. So beantiful was'the effeet of the shut-in landscape framed in the brilliant crimson, that I stood entranced, forgetful of all other curiosities. Nearest to the window, a feathery locust had rooted itself in a rocky crevice, a wild vine climbing luxuriantly over it, hungitsspray heavi¬ ly from the branches, aud wafted an odor of invisible blossoms in to the un¬ bidden guests. Traces of a very narrow, ov'ergrown iiathway, wore discernible from the foot of this tree, aud lost iu the thicket beyond.
" I cau almost fancy yonder is a bit of the lady's drapery, shredded away in Uoi- ni(jht," oala I, poiuung to a gcai-lef string that fluttered on a low bush just 0%-er the pathway.
" There are other traces ofher lady¬ ship," said Rachel, glancing up at a little shelf, whereon two moldy books lay covered with dust.
Strotchingon tiiitoe from the window- sill, she reached forth her hand to grasp the treasure. Wlien, lo! the shelf, but slightly fastened by its rusty nails, came down with crash, and tho books flutter¬ ed -\vith a shower ofleavesto theground. Half stunned—half laughing, we stoop¬ ed to gather thcin up, -with as much haste as though tho owuer might returu aud spy us out in the midst ofour mis¬ chief.
A clear voice, ringing loudly below, called us by name. We looked at each other with wido, startled eyes aud blanched cheeks; for an instant, itseem¬ ed the ghosts had really hunted us up, and—but the clear haloo sounded again, echoing along tho passages, and this time we scrambled to our feet with a laugh of recognition. Hastily running out, Riichel fastened the door, aud, by riglit of first discovery, pocketed the key, as springing joyously down stairs, we welcomed two old comrades of ours,
Harry ami Frank H .   They had
come up irom the city for a holiday and a frolic, and Bridget having in¬ formed them of our probable where¬ abouts, had followed us thither.
A merry time we had of it, with so cheerful a company. Fearless of re¬ buking specters, or dignified mysteries, weracediuaudout oftheechoing rooms, ventured iuto tho darkest passages, and hunted up every nook and corner. There was little vestige of former occupants about the house ; it was empty, weird, and vast. Situated in a sort of a dell at the bottom of a hill, the mansion was somewlial inclined to mold and damp¬ ness, aud the somber sadness of age and decay; but this had very little effeet on a party of young people in high spirits. Harry and Frank were blithe-hearted young men, -who had never known a shadow in all their sunny lives; and grew not of a temperament likely to cherish shadows if they had. In such gay companionships, we forgot eveu the Lady of Linwood Hall, ahd divided the luncheon for two among four as huu¬ gry souls as ever longed for a renewal ofthe miracle of loaves aud fishes.— Harry proposed that we should storm the roof, after this refreshment of the troops. As we passed up the stairs, I suggested another visit to Rachel's closet.
"Closet!" oh, no!" cried Frank.— " Let's get out ofthis stifling place, doi" So we hurried on—up through a great garret, whose huge beams, hung -with cobwebs and blackened with age, £lim- mered Uke skeletons in the dusky atmosphere—windowless, sunless—save ¦where its yastness waa shot through here and there with stray globule of
light, penetrating the opening of the decayed roof. AfteraVerybriefsojourn ih this desert, along ladder let us out in rather dishe-veled condition to tho ¦ roof. Scratched hands-ahd turn dresses were all forgotten in the glorious scene that burst like a iapturous vision on our sight. The picturesque landscape, wood, hill, and hamletj lay far below us, and"!!! the distance sparkled the sea, flashingsilver in thesun, and beariug along white-sailed sloop and busy steam¬ er. Further off, like a dim remem¬ brance ofsome pleasant thought, a pur¬ ple line of mountains edged the heav¬ ing waters. Tlie breezes came up so cool, the scene was so enchanting, we qnite forgot onr unfinished explorations, aud lingered uutil the suu w.is set.
On the way home, our talk was all of Rachel's grand discovery. She told the legend over with many improvements, and waxed so animated and enthusias¬ tic, that as we crossed a little creek, Harry declared himself impelled to bap¬ tize lier "The Lady of Linwood Hall, which mission he religiously fulfilled, in spite of her reluctance. And so with many a pleasant jest, with laughter and ghostly story-telling, we beguiled our way back through the meadows.
After we were retired for the uight— pretty well fatigued, it must be owned —Rachel'drew from her pocket some musty leaves—whieii she had gathered up from the desjibiled old volumes, and sat dowu demurely to study them out. .They, were merely tbo pages of au old prayer-book, ofno iuterest to me what¬ ever. I grew quite sleepy, while she turned them over aud ovor. She star¬ tled mo terribly, just as I ivas falling into tl doze.
"Look at that!" cried she, holding up a yellow, tinie-stainod blank leaf bo¬ fore my oyes. "Jsri'l that strange, now?   R-A-C-H-E-L."
I took the paper from her bauds, but -wliether my eyesight or ithe writing was dim, could make nothing out but the letter R, wiiich was quite distinct-; That -ivas enough foV lliichel. Her an¬ tiquarian researches were fully satisfied.; The Lady of Linwood HaU was tlie| same name as hei-sclf! It'pleased her' imagination greatly, aud gave new dig-, uity to the title.
In tlie morning, after the .young men had returned to the city, Riielicl was for setting out to llio old house again; but I had had enough of antiquities for a season, and, besiiles, a dismal headache dispirited nie.- ¦ ;
I sjient the niorning ill my room in company with a caniphor-boltle and vinegar; as these were^uot very enliv¬ ening, and-tlie headticlibdid not dimiii-i ish, I felt rather disappointeil wlien: Raehel'si clieerful face failed to jippear at the dinuerTtable. She liad gone out for a wiilk,~Bridgetsaid.
At supper time, Rachel, with flushed: cheeks and:spiirkling: eyes, took her: place as usiial. I langiiidly tisked her where she had been.
"To my castle," she answered with a conscious liiugh and blush.-
She was a brave girl to diirii tlie lone¬ liness ofthat deserted-place without a comp.anion, and I told her so."
"Oh," said slie, "it's uothing! I spent most of the day in thelittle closet. I am fixing it up—going to study there everyday."..    « .   ^
In fine, Rachel became so ftiscinated with the place, that rain or shine she visited it, till eveu the servants, having heard of Harry's' joko, laughed slyly when she was not on hand at the diii- iier-hbur, and inquired if a plate should be set for the Lady of Linwood Hall. But Eachei was "a gay, good girl, and everybody Uked her, and let her h.ive
her own ivay.   So did Harry H , to
whom rumor said, slio was afliaiued. So did I, who felt keenly the sepai^ition taking place in our pleasures now, as it was to take jilacc in our cares and lives hereafter.
Oue morning Harry came up agaiu very unexpectedly. I hoard his frank young voice below, inquiring for ns.— Running down stairs, I opened the par¬ lor door, aud ushered him in, expecting to find Rachel there. No. She must be nji-stairs 'then. TJp-stairs I flew, in haste to tell Rachel the good news—for Harry's arrival was always the signal of a merry day. But she was not to be found. I hunted the garden and or¬ chard iu vain. At length the unpleas¬ ant truth dawned upon me—that eu- nhjuif^rl- i-nimo- larljr. u-na _ twn-mil pii.[,, away, without a word to any one—gone off to her castle and closet.
I could uot bear to tell Harry the fact, but he put all my bugbeai-s to flight, by good-naturedly iiroposing to walk thith¬ er. He felt certain, he said, theremust be more curiosities in that old mansion, and we'd have a thorough search for them to-day.
The walk seemed a long one, aud hot, iu spite of Harry's coot way of taking it, and the jokes he got up for my heue¬ fit as-we went through the brambles. Arrived at the house, we found the door oiieii. Harry, springing up two steps at a time, strode impatiently ahead. He gavo a thuudering knock at the door of the closet, inquiring, with mock form- alil^', if the Lady of Linwood Hall would entertain a faithful knight aud a distressed damsel in her lonely halls.
There was no answer, and Harry, turuing to me, looked blank and half frightened.
" Oh, she must be up on the roof, or somewhere, you know!" I said care¬ lessly. Up to the roof we weut. Empty, parched iu the hot suu, and lonely as a desert, it offered little (temp¬ tation to romance to-day. The ocean lay smoldering beyond like molten lead, and the innumerable leaves of the dense foliage below turned over their white sides faintly, to the heavy breathless air; it was sultry and solitary, and Ra¬ chel wtis not there.'
In every chamber of the rambling ed¬ ifice we searched—in every nook of the overgrown garden. The search lasted long, aud Harry grew dispirited and disappointed. A sudden thought struck nie, as we stood at the foot of the stairs^ half undecided whether to return home or to search further.
"She may have fallen asleep inside
there, Harry—let's try the door again.'*
We tried again, Harry shaking it with
a right good will.
No answer.
" I'll break itoff its hinges!" said he, angrily, giving it a violent jerk in ac¬ cordance with his feelings. Sure enough —not the hinges, but the old bolt gave way, and the door, .^winging in sudden¬ ly, almost took the intruder off his feet. Nobody waa wiihin. A book lay open upon the floor—it was Rachel's Latin Grammar, and underneath it a leaf or two of the old prayer-book. Bhe must, evidently, have been there. Harry and I looked at each other aud shuddered. " It's a devilish lonesome, dangerous place," said he excitedly. " What fit of folly tempted her to come here alone. I could think that heathenish old idol had bewitched her!" he added, gliinc- ing at the grim crucifix Wbich shiver¬ ed sinister on the wall, jarred by our abrupt entrance. Harry's pleasant day that he had counted so mueh upon, was drawing to a close, and he grew irrita¬ ted.
¦ "WiahI'd'sta>rMi'i',toWn," said he. " Frank .and I. had Sli' invitatiou to Judge Cl:^de's to-night;, but no—oh, uo, notbing'^onld do,buj:?Ikea fool Imust come pOstirig^iip, iierti; .Girls always.do make a. fool of. a f^gw, aud spoil hig sport!" and he flcKg his cap angrily away intoi the cower of the room, as if it relieyed'hlsiheadite-^e rid of at least one iucuihhrance. As Tie did so, his'eye oaught the gcarlet shred yet fluttering like a gay blossom on the shrub outside the window.
" CouW she have got out there?" he said softly, returning to the theme ten¬ derly afterthis ebullition.
"How upon earth?" said I. "She couldn't jump so far."
" I've seen ladies take longer leaps than that, aud more dangerous ones," replied Harry significantly.
By this time he was leaning out of the wiudow, and looking anxiously up and dowu to see if there was any possi¬ bility of reaching the stony hill-side, so little beyond, yet divided from him by so deep a chasm. Though activo enough, Harry was tall and heavy—ho didn't like to risk it—heturned aud left thewindow.
" Couldn't havo done it!" said he.— " Let's go." We tiirned to the door, and I, regardful of Rachel's notions, stayed to shut itas well as the broken hinge would allow. Tho shattered bolt prevented its closing. And tis I lingered, endeavoring to force it back into its place,.th.e movement ¦ of. somethinsr ili the sunlight without attracted my at¬ tention. Surely It was Rachel! Slie floated like a vision out frbm under tho shadow of the trees. I ivas hastening to the window, when another apiiear¬ auce arrested my steps. Anian's head, covered with sunny hair, appeared among the bushes; it nodded, touched gallautly the graceful hat \yhlcli shaded it, and disappeared. The truant lady came lightly forward, auil thrusting thtit insopartible dagger of liors into the lirm crevice of the rock, poised her diiinty foot against it, aud with aspring was ill theroom.
"There!" she cried," he'sgone with¬ out throwing it in to mo!" and turning petultiuUy, the fugitive espied me—no doiibtlookinigflHshcdandangry onougli, with Htirry's blauchcd face peeriiig over my shoulder. Oh! you may Itiucy -wliat we said to each other then, if you can ! I can't reniember it myself. The vio¬ lence of that time of bltternesss washcil out its own triioes as waves wti.sli <iut each other's traces on tho .sand.
But Rachel was a brave girl. It was not many days after this that Annt Martha was ibrintiUy introduced to .a new friend of hor.s—a Mr. Limvood— veritable descendant of the lady of Linwood, it w.is said, which made sur¬ prisingly little impression upou Aunt Martha, who was not young euough lo be romantic. He was wealthy, agree- tiblo, andof good stauding—that was enough for her, Poor Harry w.is dis¬ missed from favor, and thenew kniglit installed as champion of the faithless lady.
Riieliel Itiughlugly explained to mo afterwards how, upon her first visit to Linwood, she hadgroiiedher wayalong through the vast chambers, and finally, with a wreath of cob-webs in her hair, and a dress of picturesque tatters, had found her way out to the Uttle oratory. Hiiving heard the legend of the house, this pretty, weird solitude attracted her wonderfully, and she spent a longtime, absorbed in the strange picture sliining in upon her. It was here that, entirely forgetful ofall the world, sho was star¬ tled almost to fainting, by a terrible scrambling and shaking in thebushes witlinut. Thiuking some of the old trees were giving way on tho steep hill¬ side, or somestrange animal was prowl¬ ing about, sho shrunk fearfully back iuto a eorner, when, lo! thostrange an¬ imal leaped bodily in at her window! That was hor first introduction to Mr. Linwood. If she was somewhat scared and dusty, he was quite as astonished, and almost as disordered, with his pas¬ sage through the thicket, and both were young and eared little for etiquette.- They made merry over the odd meeting, and introduced themselves to eaeh other without formality, two antiquarian e.x- plorers naturally interested iu search¬ ing Into the past,
Mr." Linwood was the owner of the neglected estato; a long rifsidouco abroad, how^ever, had prevented any at- i..„ij— 4. J*,- „ iicii Jl le'mnto nis uanas through the decease ofa distant relative. Recently, however, returning from his travels, circumstances had called it to his miud, aud he resolved to hunt It nil, and estimate the iiossible value of the old xilace in the market. Though a shrewd busiuess man, he wtis also gifted with a spice of romance-the road over the hill was easily accessible from the steamboat, and remenibering the legend connected with the mausiou, he had chosen that route iu preference to a more common-place and circuitous one, aud thus made the undignified entniiice into his "auecstriil halls" which lia<I astonished Rachel.
Mr. Linwood found it necessary after that to remain in the neighborhood a week or two (entirely on business!) aud also frequently to visit the~estate, in order to complete the arrangements for its sale. It was highly desirable that he should have aeompaiiion toeheerup the solitude of these business visits. The companion who could enliven so owlish and deserted a niansion as this must be quite an acquisition for a life¬ time. They had enjoyed themselves together so well—why not continue the enjoyment? Theargurixeutwasasound one; so thought Aunt Martha, and she wtus reckoned a good judge. So it ended, more pleasantly tiian most arguments end, in a wedding. And I believe for some reason or other, the sale of Lin¬ wood was uever accomplished, and Ra¬ chel retains to this day, rightfully, her fantastic title of the Lady of Linwood Hall.
