MY GHOST.
A BEAUTIFUL AND TRUE STORY. I am not snptTstiiioii?. Whatever Ican- iiips I may have had in lhe days of myyontU toward-; splritaalitien aud myiitioilities, and ab^^nlitiea of tbat nature, I am now practical enough—a man of middle age—a married man. StiU, as I write the heading of this pace, a thrill shivers througii me; and,, as my wife (bt^udiiig over me) reads the sarae, I feel her little hand tremble sympathetically npou my eboalder. She knn^s the story, aud, I kuuw the story ; and the story, ia true!
00 this cold winter uight, wben tbe wind is rnshing wiih shriets against the window, like some homeless ghost bfgging to .be let in ; wbeu the suow stands adrift under tbe hedge where the dead ohild was found, and under, the churcb yard wall, where the vagrant who died in the work house was buried yesterday, stands adrift like a spectre —tbe more horrible that it is motiouless ; when the furniture is cravkingiu tbe room and tbe curtains stir tremnlously about tbe window, and the whole boude shakes and the latchless attic door creaks continuously on ils rnsty binge—to nigbt, though my wife is beside me, aud I cau almosl hear the low breathiug of onr baby iu the room above, and can catch sounds of Christmas merriment from my housebold servants iu the kitchen —to night I will tell you this said true story of my earlier life, the historyof " My Ghost.'*
1 was scarcely nineteen;   I was reading tor Cambridge.    These   were   tbe  circnm sta nees —the place was Ventnor, in the Isle of Wight. At Ventnor I fell in lt)ve—tbis confession  is foolish,   no   doubt.—AU   boys   of scarcely, nineteen do fall in love, readiug diligently in tbe pages of fair living faces some scraps  of kuowledge whereby tbey matriculate as sous of the nniversal i,>3/7na Maier.    "The  hard- grained Muses of tbe cube and square"  bold Apbrodtttf(the Uranian particularly^ in holy horror ; but nevertheless, she will rise from the troubled seas of youug sonls—the Muses have no chance against ber.    Oue day accord¬ iug to custom, I sauntered iuto tbe Landslip —lhat curious little bit of chaos whicb, if it were oniy on a  larger scale,  would be  sub¬ lime.    I had wilh me a volume of Shelley, (I liked Slielly in those unpractical daya, and thought I understood him,) my pipe aud my bktitch-book—pleasant companions all, on a glorious July moming; there being a cool, sleady  breeze  out, and above  a  blue  sky, looking bluer by contrast agaiust a flock of fleecy clouds which pastured on it far over tbe sea.    Through the hazel  thicket by a tangled path, jumping a mimic ravine, climb¬ ing a few rock steps, and so to a higher level —a Utile terrance  of  emerald velvet-grass* shut in ou one side by overhanging rocks' open on tbe other, and overlooking  a   grad¬ ual decUviiy  bristling with miniature   crags and precipices, waving and rustling with tiuy forests of  hazel.   Beyond a distaut hilhick which rose again  from the boltom of this declivity gleamed the Channel.    As I   threw myself upou the grass, its level  out   agaiust the sea, emerald green against Eteel  blue.    I never saw sucb green grass  anywhere else ; it looked as if it were a special dancing  place of the fairies, whither timy  flocked   in sncb multitudes tbat their rings were inscribed one within the other, aud so covered the  wbole tnrf.   I 'igbled my pipe ; Shelley opeued of himself at the  " Witch of Atlas ;" aud I lay gazing idly on  tbe emerald  green and the flashing steel   blue,   and   the  sheep>clouds sleeping uu tbu steep  of  tbe  sky,   with  the Hue ruuning in my head :
" And unlverRal Pan, Mb' said, wan there ; .    Aod universal Fan, 'lis bald, waa there."
I was too idle to thiuk of sketching, I was too idle to read. Oh ! lhat luxurious idleness of the days before I became practical 1 What ' can be the good of staring up into a void Of sky, ? Do you suppose it was made to be looked at ? I watched a hawk quivering ou such rapid wiugs that he seemed motionless —he swooped half down lo the earth, and then ro.-e again, poising over esaclly the same spot,—Three rooks crossed tbe sky, and forlhwilh proclaimed battle with the hawk, chasing bim hither and thither wilh borse war cries. A steamer came m sight on tbe strip of sea, ciatiug a loug horizontal Une of Bmoke behind it, as Rtraight as if it had been ruled. Tbero was a rustle in the grass close tfl me ', a golden, dark-spotted snake glided along, leaving the grass-blades trembling in hia wake. M.y pipe was ont; I turned for my tobacco-pouch to refill it, wheu there was a voice—"Oh ! don't move, please !"
I thoughi the snake hai spokeu ; bnt uo, it was not the serpent ; it was Kve, There, seated in the hnllow between two of the "over slanting rocks, " half-light, baU-sbade," like Tennyson's *¦ Gardener's Daughter," was a lady—no, uol a lady ; a Uttle girl—no, acarce ly tbat; a yonng lady we will say. She was drawing and had evidently been quietly put¬ ting me in as a fore ground figure to her sketch, when I had moved and thus inter¬ rupted the sketch, and startled the sketcber iulo tbat Blrang_e exclamation : " Oh! dou't move, please!"
Sbe instantly apologised—*'! beg your pardon, I am snrel" and then laughed a liltle laugh al tha absurdity of the scene — She half rose, blushing and smiling, and apologising ; while I, with bashful volubility, besonght that sbe would continue hor aketoh resuming my former position as nearly as I could.
"la that right?"
"Your bead a Uttle higher, ifyou please. Thank you.'*
There waa a silence again. My back waa towarda the lady, as It had been at first.   I I^Mwnwaringa
Terify my momentary Tisiou. A tiny fignre dressed in white ; & small, thin face, almost loat between two torren'ts of brown hair which awept down from a brown gipsy bat; eyea of the first magnitude, and a blnsh rose red. The moments passed slowly by. My viaion was getting more and more indistinct. Waa the hair brown f What was the expres siou of the eyes ? Was she a girl or a wo¬ man? Tbis last qneation pnzzled me the most. She was too self-possessed for the one, too frank for the other. She was very quiet. Why shoold we not talk? She had aeemed to have a pleaaant voioe ; I was not snre tbat she had ; but I could satisfy myself ou tbat point: I would apeak to her.
" I hope I have not spoiled yonr drawing." No answei:, ** TeU .me when I may move."— No auaweV.
I was silent having aome misgivings. There was no sound but the sawing of the grasa hoppers, and the faint rustling of the hazel- bushes lower down,
"May I move now?" lasked, waited a momeut, aud then sprang to my feet The Uitle lady bad disappeared. The grass was slightly pressed where, sbe had sat; other sign of her there was none I
Tbia was my firat sight of Daisy Main waring. Of this Uttle flower, wbom 1 tbus saw bedded in the emerald grasa, I soon learned more, much more than was good for my subsequent peace of miud. Three days afier, she and her fatber came to call on the clergyman with whom I was reading. I reooguized ber at onoe, chiefly by ber luxuriant bair. Sho ev¬ idently recognised me too, but would uot acknowledge that she did so. Impelled by that bashful impudence which often darea more than settled nonchalance, I said and¬ denly aa I stood beside her: "Did you finish your sketch ?"
Tbe blush rushed to her face ; sbe trilled out a treble lauyh, and anawered : " I was ashamed of mysoif and so ran away."
A strange little persou was tbia Daisy Maiu- wariog; not a obild, and yet scarcely a wo¬ man, having all tho frank innooeuce and un¬ spoiled originality of the child, with the grav¬ ity nnd self possession of the matrou, I learned what she was, Httle by little. She startled me often, outraged all my precon¬ ceptions, followiug an orbit of ber own which I eould not atall calculate. Her inexplica- hility lay in this—that she was herself. She had not been moulded into tbe conventional liue of beauty. It takes one's breath when untaught uature dares to appear openly in the midst of this artistic world. She was not beantiful—ibiu aud small with a child-face, always drooping, it seemed, under the weight ofher brown-hair; eyes wbich defied you, their laugoage was oue tbat bad died out of the earth long ago; but tbis language I learn¬ ed, and could at lengih read tbem. Sbe was as variable as .in April day, abandoning her¬ self to joy or grief like a obild, aud for causes unimagiuablrt to any but herself, Sho al¬ ways needfd a strong, tender hand to gnide and quiot her. This need endeared her to me most. Her educatiou and manner of life had beon unlike that of girls gt-uerally.— Her mother died when sho was yery youug, and she was au ouly child. H^r fatbor was a Uterary man—a laborious student, shnt up always in a fog of psyobological problems and metaphysical eniirmas. Margaret had never left him; bad never been to school, had never bad any feminine bome compan¬ ionship except that of the one servant. Her father had educated her; and this education bad been a kiud of con promise botween coming out of bis fog to her and takiug her iuto the fog to himself. He had experiment¬ alised on her aa psychologists must, and where he should have tanght had often qnes¬ tioned, guessing at the riddles of human ua¬ ture as ifahe bad beon a Sphinx. The effect of this education was tbat sbe was ignorant of most tbinga wbich girla naually know; and had acquired au amount of heterogene¬ ous erudition wbicb would bave puzzled most meii. Sbe bad read numberless, atrauge. heavy, antique books, whioh seemed to lio as a weight upon her, and from which sbe had gathered dialeclual subleties and mystical beliefs which frightened one. Ever since abe was a obild sbe had begun to be her father's amanuensis, aud now this laborof love had in¬ creased uutil il fell somewhat heavily on her. It was not tbe brown hair alone that weighed down the weary Uttle head.
Some such  anomaly as I have tried to sketch was ibis Daisy Mainwaring, and witb her I   fell in love.    Wo aoon became great frieuds.    One good iofluonoo at least  of her education was tbat she bad none of that sUly prudery wbich most yonng ladies aff'ect tow¬ ard young gentlemen.    Sho liked me, and when I used to go inlo tbeir lodgings towards the afiernoon, to drag ont tbe old man and ber for a walk, wonld rise from her writing, run lo me, and put her Httle ink stained fin gers in mine, saying: " Oh 1 I am so glad yon have come !" Tben ber father would take tbe spectacles from bis dim, abstracted eyes, and put his book nnder his arm ; hor brown bat was in a moment, tied over her browu hair, and we sallied fortb for the Landslip. Arrived tbere, the old mau soon absorbed iu bis bonk; and Margaret aud I, having chosen an eflec¬ tive "bit" of scenery, sat down to sketch.— She drew very incorrectly, but had an eye for color and an intuitive perception of the spirit i>f nature whicb was marvolons.    Solemnly the liltle face used to peer over my shoulder as I altered her outlin^'a ; and theu she would 'lash away at tbe color witb a succhss of effect which  made mo half-envious.    Our sketch finished, we talked—iu what manner rested with her.   Somelimes she was ao childishly wild and mischievous lhat aho had made me augry.    Sbe teased "papa" unlil became out of his  fog; abe teased me, blurred my wot eketcU, hid my pipe; then climbed up inaccessible rocks, or crept tbrough tbo hazel- thickets which closed behind her and swal¬ lowed ber up.   At other times ahe would be silent and grave, and then pour uut a torrent of t-mall iraaKiuary troubles, looking most dis¬ consolately al tho past and the future, pro¬ phesying evils  and wretchedness; accusing herself of nnheard-of crimes and selfishness. Again, she would start some airy supernatural theory,  enforcing  it by keeu arrows of bor¬ rowed   dialociio   which   sounded   strangely enongh in her treble voice.    Thns she would talk  of   pre existence,   and   argue   tbat   in dreams came our reminisconcos ihereof, that sleep was the iutermediaie slate between life and deatb ; that birth and  death were the same—mere gatt^waya leatljpg into a uew state of life, and bo would fall to wondering how far it waa posaible to retroject ourselves agaiu throngb tbese gates, to re-enter the world be¬ fore this  Ufe,  to re-enler tbis  world after death.    Thus agaiu, she wonld retail to me Berkley's doolrine of Idealism colored by her own poetic imagination,aud would prove that I who sat beside her did not exiat, aave as an impreaaion on her mind;   that   the   graas arouud ua waa not really emerald green, did not wave aud tremble in the wiud, waa not grass at all; in fact, was nothing.   In the trutb of which theory, modified, I  agreed; for was I not addicted to Shelly?   The old man, bearing metaphysical words and idioms, would arouse himself from hia book, and he would find his apectacles fixed upon ua.    He regarded us pnrely in a psychological Ught, and would busy himaelf for a moment in uothiug the eflect we had on each otber—how earb acted sympathetically on each.
Those wore happy daya. Even with my good wife seated near to me by the roaring winter fire,I cannot help looking baok with a reprohenalble fondneaa on those idle sum mer days, Slill, I oan remember that they were not altogetiier happy. There waa a cer¬ tain Bir Hercules Lowther, a huge stolid youug geutleman, of whom I waa at that time very jealous. He waa au old friend of the had known tiiem in London
a grand psychological hislory which had been the work ofhis Ufe. Tbis I*owthor waa the very antilhesia of Margaret; large in body, small in mind : show, both^corporeally and mentally ; and yet for Margaret he had a de¬ cided and nnmiatakable liking. To my dis¬ comfort I fouud him often in the Mainwaring lodging whou I made my daily viait there.— Sometimes he wonld even accompany us to tbe Landslip, speaking Utile, but watching Daisy, with wide, wondering eyea, payiug her clumsy ftttontious and helping her awkward¬ ly. I felt she conld not Uke this mau; and yet, had she not ofteu told me that we in tbia-| worid—imperfect—sought out tbat wbiuh waa unlike ourselves to perfeot our own im- porfectiona? What if this stolid mass of flesh and muscle was the makeweight to sober dowu Daisy to a propar earlbliuess ? Tbia Lowther was gall and wormwood to me ; the more especially that I saw thai Margarel kept her power over him, and rejoiced in it I What woinan baa nol a touch of coquetry in her? Would not the laok of it unaex them ? If they were not gifted by natnre wilh this desire of pleasing, where ^would be their magical power over na men ? Daisy with all hor innocence—her innocence by no meana leas immaculate thereby—soon learned her power over Lowtber and over me ; aud uaed that power, aometimes tyrannically.
However, before the summer was over Mar¬ garet and I were engaged. I had no jealouay of Lowther then ; but pitied him sincerely. Happy times those I My dear Uttle wife that was to be grew daily more womanly and nat¬ ural ; her cbildish wilfulness and petulauoe became softened and harmouised by love, ber fragmentary and abstract spetjulations grav¬ itated tt/warda a concrete oentre, and ao wi¬ dened and purified onr aO'ectiou. Mr. Main¬ waring was surprised at tbe turu which our "actiugly aympathetically eaoh on each," had taken. There waa Uttle difficulty in arrauging the matter on thia aide. My wordly prospects were moderately good ; sufficiently so if he had been urgent on that point, which ho was not. I firmly believe that he looked ou the marriage as a foolish and in¬ consequent conelnsion to bis psychological theory of our mutual attractions. On anoth¬ er side tbe difficulty was much greater. I was an only son, as Daisy waa au only daughter—I had bnt one parent, as she had; bnt mine was a mother. To my mother I wrote about my engagement—foolish, fervid iottors, wbioh made the:affair look more boy¬ ishly romantic tban it really was. However, tho eugagr«ment was made, aud to it ahe ac ceded perforce, giving her consent in cold aud sarcastic phrases, and hinting vaguely at canning fascinatinna and artful eutrap- ments. I told Margaret nolhiug of tbia. If it chilled me in one way, it but served to make my affection for her the warmer and moro tender. Sir Hercules Lowther, with bis large estates, would bave been a mnoh richer quarry to fly at than myaelf. Sbo had given him np for me, I had uo donbt of her, and I was sure it wonld be tbe same with my mother when ahe came to see and kuow her.
Autnmu came ; the last roses died out of tho garder-' • the leaves of tbe sumao  begau to tnrn blood-red, our green platform iu tho Landslip had become ..sere   and   yellow un¬ der hot harvest anus.     The timo had come wheu I was to leavo Ventnor for Cambridge. I walked with  Daisy  to our firat tryating place for the last time.    She was grave aud sad, and then broke out inlo one of her old fits of misery, wbich I had not heard for a long time.    She throw herself ou the sodden grasa, and bid her Uttle place ou my kneea. Sbe forhoded aU kiuda of evU.     We should nover see each other any more; ahe should die; I should cease to love her.   Sbo euded witb cbildish sobs as if her heart  would break.     I stroked ber luxuriant hair,  and chided aud soothed her.   Thou she  seated herself quietly at my  feet, and after a long aileuco began to speculate dreamily on what we should do during  the separation.    We were to think of eaoh other at a certaiu time every day; we wore always lo think of eaob other at night bofore we weut to  sleep, aud so try to dream of each  other.     It waa  not impossible, she thought, that in dreams wo might actually meet.      Such   things   have been ; why sbonld tbey  nol   be  now ?    The old philosophers could separate  tboir  aouls from tbeir bodies by Intense thongLt.     She I believed  firmly it might be done.     Again, I there were strange sympathies often between twin-brothers—each know  when the. other was ill—each folt the joy and sorrow  of the otber.     We loved each other better than twiu-brotbera did,  why should it not be tbe same with us ?     Sbe was   sure  ehe would know if I were ill, she would feel happy wbeu I was happy,  sad  when Twas  sad.     Sup¬ posing she should die suddenly, would it be posaible for her lo come to me lo aay good¬ bye, or to summon me to her death-bed?   If eitber of us died, would it be possible for tbe dead to come and see the liviug?—to  make ils presence kuown ?—to appear visibly aa it used to bo in tbo flesh ?     Agreements  had been made between dear frieuds that the one who died first sliould come  from tbe futnre world and visit the  other—would I make this agreement wilh ber ?     Sbe  was pertin¬ acious ou this poiut;   she wonld  have the agreement made.   To  satisfy  her I  acceded and ratified the promise with a kiss.    This seemed to comfort her, aud I scolded her for her foolishness.   It had been arranged tbat she waa to come and stay with my mother dnring the Christmas  vacation.     Tbero was but two montba of separation, and I talked to her of this, and tried to cheer her by the proapeot of ao aoon meeling again.    Still this our last meeting in the old place  was  very sad—as   different  from   the first as waa the yellow from tbe   green grass, the gray aky from tbe blue, the bitter east  wind from the soft wost,
Daisy came to us at Chriatmas, aud that Christmaa aaw the end of oar engagment.   It is  uaeless to delail all the petty words and doii'gs which lod lo this rupture.    My mother ie dead, (God rest ber soull) aud the.wroug tbat sho did was done for love of me.    She would havebeen jealous of auy one whom I loved belter tban herself—for whom I medit¬ ated leaviug her; and for Daiay ahe had taken a strong disUke before she eveu saw her.— They were the oppositea of each  otber, and could no more sj^mpatbios tbau  flre could mingle with water.   My mother waa of cold temperament, precisely bred, looking upon surface proprietiea as vital mattera; uover suffering a wave of passiou or strong feeliug to diaturb the viaible level of her natnre, proud of her good blood and of her competent wealth.   Daisy was  what I have sketched bor; and moreover, abe was poor, and neither knew nor   cared about   her pedigree.   My mother's orthodoxy waa shooked at her ram¬ bling speculationa; it was a sin, she thonght, for auy girl to have a deep thought beyoud her oateohiam, her croed, and the eatabllshed interpretationa thereof.   She was shocked at her undisguised fondness for me: when Dai¬ sy ou my first arrival ran up to me and hung about my neck, my mother blnshed scarlet. I, had dreaded their ooming together, and the event I aoon saw would provo worse than my lorobodings.     The   first   symptoms  of my mother'a aversion was a rigid sileuce about Margaret wheu aloue with me;  then camo the old  hints  about cunning entrapmenta, and, in addiiion,alluBionB to want of modesty atid religion ; th6 plaiuer sayings ; aud the Issue waaJiard  words betweeu mother and son, and consequent quarrel and estrange- meut.
" Your mother does not like me," said my Uttle betrothed to me continually, aud look- ttdr-iu my face with her solemu eyes, and read
now. One morning mr darUng came to mo, andsaid quietly. "You shall not marry me," and tben ahe threw herself into my arms and kiased me passionately, and she was gone. I stormed and raged in vain,— The episode of my Ufe waa over. O Daisy I Daisy I if hearts do bleed—do, in their agony wriug forth bitter tears of blood—then my heart bled wben Idlest yon !
" Did I cry out ' Daisy ?" No wife, you bave faUeu asleep and dreamed it. Do uot come to look over me- You ahaU road the story wben it is finished."
I sowed a pleutiful crop of wild oata at Cambridge, whioh bore their mingled prodnce of good and ill. When I came home after degree, for a week, before I set off for Italy. I was much more cynical a%d stoical than in the days of my matriculation. It wonld bave taken mnoh to make me faU in love now, and if I had doue so I should have bave stifled the weaknesa bofore:I had con¬ fessed it even to myself. That past quarrel was made np between my mother aud me; but we generaUy, by mutual consent, fenced round tbat ugly pit with a wall of silence.— I ha i lost all sight of the Mainwaringa ; I never heard their names, never suffered my¬ self to think about them. Ouly in my dreama little Daisy would rise up, her head drooping beneath the weight of brown hair, and her solemn eyea fixed always tenderiy on mine. Lowther had boeu my fellow collegian ; but he, tbe rich mau, did not stay to take his de¬ gree as I did, to whom the prestige of that ceremony would be serviceable at tbe Bar.— So of Lowther I had lost eight also for a year or more.
On the last morning of my sojouru at home before my departure, I sat reading my letters at the breakfast-table—reading alond a scrap here and theie whiohl Ihought might iutereat my mother. Suddenly I became silout: aa in a lettor from a college friend I oame npon this paaaage: "You remember old Xowther. Did you ever think It possible that lhat stolid Horcnlea would find hia Om- phale? Yet uone the lesa fouud she is, and Hercules is a alave, and only all his wealth will ransom him. He Is going to be married. Tbe affair is to come off immediately. Om- phaleianot precisely a queen; in fact, is a poor little devil of a milliner, or a governess, or aometbing of that eort; her name Main¬ waring, People talk with horror about thei mesalliance. I do not aee it in tbat light. ; A man might do worse than marry a mill¬ iner. You see I am reading for ordination, and so getting moral."
I turned white, and gasped for breatb— The old wound_burnt like fire, and throbbed as if the oicatrice wonld break. |
" What is the matter ?" said my mother.— " Thero is bad news."
All my cynicism roae up to help me.— " Not at all 80," I said. " You rememher a ' little peraon whom you never would call Daisy f WeU, the aaid Uttle peraon is about to'be married to a frieud of mine. It la a I good match. The pearl ia a pearl of great'. price, and hae sold itself for fifteen thousand per annum,"
Shame on me for that sentence ; but all my old jealonsy bad sprung up within, more acrid than it had ever been before.
" And who is the purchaser ?" asked my mother, in a low voice, but flushed np to the temples. The wall of silence was down, and the air from the pit was unwholesome with fire-damp. I read hor face. As tbe old love had awakened iu my breast, so tbe old fear had awakened In hers. Sbe gnessed what my pale face meaut, aud I knew the mean¬ ing of tho flush on hers. She shonld uot read my meaniug thus.
" Tho purchaser—happy mau be his dole," I anawered, " is a Sir Hercules Lowther. A certain person and he were rivals long ago ; bat what mere murtal man cau strive wiih a Hercules, particularly when that Hercules haa a handle to his name aud fifleen thou¬ sand a yoar ? Really," I said, changing my tone, "I am glad that Misa Mainwaring is about to make so good a match. Notwith¬ standing your antiptithy to her, my dear mother, she was a verygood girl in her way."
folt unoomfortably angular, and had a ner-I long before I had known them; waa asort of vous twitching in my lege. I longed tp look benefactor to tbem, ih that he was aaaletlng orar my shooidtri tlutX might reaUse and  ths-ffttherpwoxuanly iutbo ^iios^ig ou^
I went to Italy, aud remained there and ahout the coast of the Mediterraneau for | a year. Do wbat I would—Daisy haunted my dreams—alwaya the aame, aometimea to the ink-atained fingers cramped with long bolding of the pen. I laughed savagely about the marriagei This waa woman'a constancy.— Not three years, and she waa married and to Lowther too, who, from reminiscences of old days muat constantly remind her of me. I confessed now that I stiU loved her—confess¬ ed it aa a penance to myself, pressing it down ou my sore heart like a cauterizing irou, and writhing under tbe pain of my own self- contompt. Still from week to week I waa uot sure that the marriage bad taken place. I alwaya hoped tbat it waa not consummated. Not to day, not to-day ; let it be to-morrow. Some six montbs aftor I had left, home, there was a sentence in one of my mother'a letters which aettled the matter.
"Your friond. Sir Hercules," ahe wrote, " was married last week. I have seen tbe announcement in this morning's newspaper." Certainty is better than uncertainty; the fall of Damocles' sword ia more bearable thau ils suspension. I need not narrate here how by degrees I regained peaoe of mind—apeace of mind truer and healthier tban had beeu my former cynicism. I learned to look on Daisy's marriage iu ita trne Ught. What rigbt had I (dog in the manger that I was) to dream of monopolizing her who could not marry me—wbom my kin bad injured be¬ yond redemption f Witbout marriage a wo¬ man'a life was incomplete In this world.— Lowther would make her a good and loyal husband—better thau I should. Lowther bad never been nearly so wild aa I had—had uover so hardened and debaaed hia better nature. I forgave TfAisy^-forgavc.' Could ahe have forgiven me ?
My mother died before I reached England again.   Nevermore conld that sad quarrel bo renewed.    Now I felt how that groat wrong abe had done was solely through lovo.   My soul hungered after love, and tumed and guawned itself in ita deaperate cravings.    I can understand bow friendless poople in their tonolineaa gaibered dumb animals about tbem. I settled dowu to my profession and worked hard.     My miseries passed away, and the acnteuess of my feeling became numbed un¬ der tbe influence of cloae study.   Ambitiou awoke withiu me.   The more I succeeded the more I wished to succeed; the farther I ad¬ vauced ou tbe road the longer grew the road before me. Aided by favorable oircumstanoes, my progress was faster than usual at the bar. At the age of thirty-five my practioe was large.     If ever I looked back to that love- dream of my romantio boyhood, it was aa upou aome childish toy.   I smiled ae I recol¬ lected the old paaaion, the soreneas of heart, the bitteruess of spirit, the weariness of life. I Boarely believed it could all have been true ; I wondered at my former aelf—half regretted that I waa ao ntterly changed. I was not anre that I had a heart now.   If tbat mysterious organ atill existed within me, it slept quietly enongh. To bave awakened it for a momeut; to hive felt even one twinge of tho sharp pain, thia would have beeu a luxury now.— My pulse waa ateady aud regular; tbe blood- mechanism beat atrongly and oalmly iu my leftside ; my head was cool and clear.   I had over-lived the age for heart-fever.    We came tbrough those diseases aa childrou through their ohlldleh complaluts, and our moral oon- stitutiA^ were  the  healthier that we had I paaeed through them-and were rid of them. About this time I determined to marry.    I
the truth there, though my Upa evaded it— | was rich, I had liiany friends, iSut I had no It waa soon plain enough. _ Greater famil- j home; I feU the laok of these domestio com- iarty emboldened my mother's tongue^ and [forts, and, tbat eoclal poaition whioh only relenileaa Barcaama became broader ahd ] marriage can give. This waa a very different broader day by day. My mother is dead, | feeling to that lonelinees which had weighed (Godrest heraoull) and I will write no more me down after my mother's death. It waa of this, fo^ I ^oaimot write fpr^Tiogly even - put^. in the iona of a datjthat lentortalasd
this idea of marriage, partly in tbe formof a sober, selfish advautage. It was desirable to change my bachelor Ufe, ivhieh was be¬ coming somewhat wearisouie. A mansion in the more civilized quarter of the town would be an improvement on my dusty, cfaamber within Temple Bar. I felt that it was Incum¬ bent on me to take my staud in tbat station of life in whicb I had beon called, to do as otber meu did, to exeroise the duties of hos¬ pitality, to oultivate tbe honshold amenities, to obey the laws of Nalure and S(>Glety ; aud it might be so, to rear children aroand me, wbo should succeed to my name and fortane aud fill my place after I was gone. So I be¬ gan to look round for a wife. My frienda BOOQ learued that I was a marrying man, and recommendations oame to my ears of so-and- so's aiater, and snch-au-oue'a daughter. Mam¬ mas called on me with increased, favor, aud incited their lovely offspring to diaplay for me their virtues and accomplishments. Many a fanltleas filly, from model training stables, waa put throngh ber paces for my behoof. Haviug decided on the expediency of marry¬ ing, I had decided too on the nece^isary quali¬ fioations for my wife. Soberly and quietly, as beseemed a senslbe man, I had reasoned out the whole matter. Moderate beanty, moderate fortune, the conventional accom- plishmenta, a good temper, a good mauuer, and perfeot good breeding. Surely a hund¬ red auch girls come from thoir nurseries into the marriago markei every year.
Very opposite was thia marriage project to the looUsb engagement of fifteen yeara ago Thon an insane fancy for a obild like myaolf bad nearly hurried me into the matrimonial coudition for which both of us were yet un¬ ripe. We were unfitted for oach other. It would have been a sacrifice on both sides. How unaatlsfactory would Daisy have filled tbe office whicb I now looked for in my wife I The woman of my aearch waa the very anti- podea to her. I was wiser since that time, aud now judged ol the holy institution of marriage by tbe Ught of that reaaon which God had given me. I saw the wiadom and the expedience of the oondition, and sought to adapt tbat coudition to my own particular requirements. Then, au impulsive passion foran individual had impelled me towards marriage; now, having syUoglatlcallyproved tbe dealrableneas of marriage, I made deliber¬ ate search for tbe individnal who ahould be tbo fit meana to the accomplishment of that eud. It is by the heart ouly that man is misled; let him use his reason and he is aafe.
I had professional busiuess in the north of England, and I arranged to atay for a nighti on my way, at the aoat of a friond iu one of the midland countiea. Of course thia friond had a daughter. I weut to view thia daugh¬ ter, as I should have gone to look at the pointa of a horse whicb I thought might ault me, if I had wauted a horse. I had aeeu Mias Dalton in London duriug the laet aeason. Sbe had all the requisite anvautagea whichi have mentioued above; aud to tbia favored peraon I, the Orand Seigneur, felt inclined at length to throw the haudkerohief. I would aee her at home, and thon make up my mind in tho affirmative or negative. On the railway plat form I met an old frieud—uo otber thau Low¬ ther. He waa In doep mourning, aud his black dress together with the change which timo had worked on him, made me at firsl uncertain of hia identity. However, In a mo¬ meut we recognized oach otber, shook hands, and took our seats in the aame carriage. My heart gave ono throb, aud slept again. I had not Beon Lowther since his marriage. He bad broadoued into a portly country gentle¬ man, and his stolid countenance had gaiued a gravity which looked not unUke wisdom. Hla deep voice had a majoslic roll iu it, aud his slow Epoech a deliberation suggestivo of woll-weigbed words. I was amuaed at the form iuto which bis juvenile stolidity had ripened. I learned from his converaalion that his wife waa not loug dead. Agaiu a throb at my heart, aud a long, quivering tremor, ere it subsided to reat. Poor Daisy 1 Hor girlish figure roae before me vividly for a momeut and then gradually faded. I noted on Low- ther's finger a memorial ring of brown hair, and round it imprinted '"Margaret." Lowther waa bound for an estate of his iu the north, not far from my ultimate destination. He made me promise to come to him fora day be¬ fore I returned lo London. A meeting with an old follow collegian is alwaya pleasant, the sociality of those early days retains Its hold upon us through Ufe. Lowther and I, for this and for otber cauae, were glad to see each othor, and shook bauds heartily and warjply when we separated.
My reception by the Daltons waa kindly, and had that domestic charm about it which ia woudrously agreeable to tho bachelor. It ia somethiug to be received en famille.whe-a ono has not a home of one's own. I liked Amy Dalton better in the old-faahioned coun¬ lry bouse than In the London ball-rooms. I liked her kindness to the children wheu they oame down after diuner. Childreu cannot be bribed or scolded into acting love where they do uot feel love. I liked the hints whioh I heard of her household handiness, and of homely dutiea diligently performed by her, liked her stories about the village folk, abow- I ing, not in the way of exhibition, how she i visited their cottages aud read to tbem. Above aU, I liked her because abe did not try to captivate me, did not parade her accomplish¬ ments aud her vlrtuea before me. I had aeeu too much of that lately. All these little favorable traits were so much thrown in over and above the essentials in the bargain which I meditated.
At night I retired to the library. I had writing to do, which must be done for to-mor¬ row's poat. I wrote my letters, and tbeu threw myaelf into an easy chair by the dyiug^fire. Instead of Amy, thoog-hts of Daisy rose within me—thoaghta long stifled and dead. Those summer days came back—the wanderings In the Landslip, the skelches, her childish potulanoo, her wUd spirits, her fits of melan¬ choly, her foolish dreama aud apeculations. I remembered bow she used to disappear in tbe hazel-thickets ; bow her little hoad had lain upou my knees ; how at the last parting she bad thrown herself into my arma and paaaion- atoly kissed me. Now tbat aho was dead, it seemed as if her marriage with Lowther was wiped away. She waa mine onco more. The old feelinga rushed back iu a torrent, I tried to atem tbem, but in vain. My heart awoke from ita aleep, and proclaimed its omnipotence; and my frigid reason shrunk away beforo Ita fiory aceptre.
Tbere waa a sound. The handle of tbe latch turned, and the door creaked and opened.— Good Godl was I mad?
There, in the doorway, stood Daiay—a little figure dressed in black, the same thiu face, the same heavy hair. The same treble voice uttered my name. A momeut aud abe was goue, I rushed forward, aud there waa nothing. A lamentable weakness this. My head was affected. My will oame Into aotlon, and beat down the atraggllngs of my heart, and atrung my nervea with its fingers, aud brought my wildlhoughtauudercoutrol. ThisI impreaaed on my mind, haa been a pbantom of my im¬ agination. I am tired aud feverish after my journey, aud 1 bavo suffered old thoughts to i gel tho bettor of me. I will never lot suoh ! absurdities conquer my reason again. I have been a fool.
I Ughted my candle and went to bed. Not¬ withatanding will and reaaon, there was a ceaseless whispering within, saying: "Itwaa uo trick of imagination. You have aeen Uttle Daisy to-night, as undeniably ae yeueveraaw her in old daya. Do you not rememberthe promiae that whoever died first should come to the other ?"
united aud mingled Into one phantom, wbioh I puraued vainly—a shadowy something, af¬ ter which I yearned with a passion unqiiencb - able aud hopeless, with a mental determina. tiou nuoonquerable as it waa fmitlesa.    But all these olouds of darkneaa melted away at onoe before the cold light of the morniug aun. Wbeu  I descended to breakfaat I was the same calm, reasonable person I bad been tbe day before.   The vision of the previous nigbt had been a dream,  Hke the  dreams whicb succeeded it; that was certain.    I banished the trivial incideut from my mind resolutely. Amy'a cbeerfnl, fresb, quiet face, as ehe pre- ¦ aided al tho early breakfaat, had a aoothing influenoe over me, wbich I accepted ae yet; auother advautage in tbe meditated bargain, j Wben we were married the conetanl preeence : of that quiet face would affect beneticially my j daily life—make my head clear, keep  my nervea cool.
I left tbe Dalton'e that aiorulng and pro¬ oeeded on my journey. My bueiuess in the north waa accomplished, and two daya after, I arrived at Sir Hercules Lowther'a just in time to join him at hia aolitary dinner. He was dnll and silent; the Borvants moved about with mute lips aud noiseless feet. All brought Daisy to my mind, but this time not so mnch in connectiou with my own feeUngs as in tbe oharacter of my friend's dead wife. I pitied him for bis loes. Aa we sat by the firn over our wiue, he begau to talk about bis wife, speakiug with a rough simple pathos of bow goud she had beon, and whal a bless¬ ing to him.
"Poor Daisy!" I said, using tbe tender dimiuutive involuntarUy. "All you say of her is true, I kuow. You were happy in mar¬ rying her. It ie something to have had her to lose."
"Y'es," he auswered, looking at me medi¬ tatively. "Bat only those wbo know her can judge of my loes. I feel that you sym¬ pathise with me, old frieud, aud thauk you for it ; but you did not yet know ber."
"Nol kuow her? Do you think I havefor- gotten the old Isle of Wright days ? -Why, Lowther, I too ouce loved thia little Daiay of; youra. I may eay eo now. You will not be jealous of me."
"Knew my wifel loved my wife 1" he gasp¬ ed out, syllable by syllable, with a alow hor¬ ror aud astonishment.
"Yes, you muat have known it then," I said. " I wae wUd when you married ber.— But all that ie past long ago; and remember¬ ing what ahe waa, I only feel for you the moro."
" Loved my wife I" he atill muttered, in a stolid sort of wouder. "Lovod my wifo?— Daisy? Whal! There ia a mistake," he aaid, and his face brightened slowly into in¬ telligence. " There is a mistake. You surely kuow whom I married ? " "
"Yes," I oried, "certainly I do. Daisy Mainwaring."
"Never. You are wrong." I stared at him aghast, aud pointed to the ring which ho wore. " Whose hair is that ?" " My poor wife's. I married my consiu, Margaret Lowther, nol Daiay Mainwaring, as you oall her. That was a mere boyish fanoy. I would have married her at ono time, but sho would uot marry me; and thank heaven for it. My wife ouly, iu all tbe world, conld have made me ao happy aa I have boen." He aighed and went on": " however did you come by thia false notion? Where did yoa hoar it? How on earlh did it enter yoar head?" By slow degreea I recalled and explained how I bad heard of hia marriage. It was not easy for me, having held the event for so long as au established fact, to bring' to my mind the precise mauner in which the news had reached me. However, I sncceeded, at length, recalling the leiter from my frieud, and also the confirmation of the former tidings, in my mother's letter, received In Italy. I learned (but not wholly then,) what had been tbe true alate of the case. When my friend wrote of Lowther'a approaching marriage to Daiey, Lowther had beeu williug enough to make that aesertion true Itwas at that time that ahe had refused to marry him; and cou- seqneut upon this refusal seemed to me to have been bis marriage with his cousin so eoon after. Whether in pique, or whelher in the way of coneolatlon, did uot clearly appear; but, at all events the marriage had turued out happily. My mother's noilficatiou to me was substantially true—Lowther was married at that time.
Daisy, then was not dead ; bnt the phan¬ tom of that night—how was it to be explain¬ ed f I aaked for uewa about her, and Lowther told me tbat he had lost sight of her for aome time; that after her father's death ahe had goue out a governess; that he had offered help to her in vain ; tbat sho was too proud to accept help from an old lover.
On my way back I called again at the Dal¬ ton'e. Aa I walked by the aide of Amy, in tbe wintry gardeu, I aeked abruptly : "Have you a goveruesa here ? "
" Yes," ahe answered, a little surprised.
" What ia her name ? "
" Miss Mainwaring. Here she ia, ooming with thechildren,"
"Shalli go on any more, little wife?— Sball I tell them how hard I found it to win you back to me ? How I, the Grand Seigneur, did not get my wife by a mere throwing of the handkerchief, but waa obUged lo go oh my knees ; obliged to outrage all forgone conclusiona and determination abont my matrimonial needs, aud about the proper view and bearing of matrimony I Shall I tell them of all your troubles in those long years d^ separation; and how you are changed there¬ by, and yet the aame? Graver, soberer wiser—equable aud quiet—but Daiay atlll \ ' No,' do you say, * I have written euough ? Then I wiU write no more."

A LOST LOVE.
So fair, and yel so desolate;
So wan, and yet su yoang; Oh, there is grief loo de»p for teara.
Too seal'd for tell-iale tongne ¦ With a fadsd floweret in bor band.
Poor little band, so white I And dim bine eye, from ber casement high
She looks npon the nigbt.
Only a Utile rosebnd—
Ouly a simple flower— ¦ Bnt It blooms no more as tt eeem'd to bloom
Tbroagh many a lone lone bonr. As they Boat from her fever'd tonch away.
The petals wither'd and brown. All tbe hopes she deem'd toobright tobedream'd
^tnk trembling and flnlterlog down.
It needs no bnsb of the Present
To call hack the sweet calm Past; Tbe lightest snmmer marmaring  .
May be heard thruagb tbe wiatry blast; Aud the wind is roaRb with sob and with soagb
To-night npon gable and tree. Till the bare elms wail like upectres pale.
And the pinea Uke a passionate sea.
Bat nbn tblaba of a dreamy twilight
Oa the gardeo walk below, Of the lahrels whispering in their sleep,
And the white rone in fnll bluw. The early moon had sank away
Like some pale qneen, lo die In the corttly shroad of an opul clond
To the Jaue air's tremuloa'a aigh.
Ali, all too freshly real;
Tlie soft sabdned ocUpne, Hand In hand, aod heart in heart
And the thrill uf the wedded lips ; Those tender memories, bow tbey flush
Pale cheek and brow again. Thoogh heart be changed, and Up estranged.
Thai swore eaob loving then t
'Tis bnt the old, old story
Snug 80 ofteo io vaia; For man all the fre(*dom of passion.
For womao the calm aod the pala. Tell it tbe sonl wbose grief is read
In the poor, pale snffering face. It win StlU cling on to love that la gone
With tbe warmth ofits flrst embraee,
Ob.'ti-" well for the careless spirit
To weave tbe web of rhyme, Aud ptinoa tbe Idle memories
Tbat float oa the breath of time; bnt better for many an aching heart.
If ever it migfat be eo. To forget, to forget the Ught tbat has set,
And the dreams of long ago.
