She was not looking towards the west, though the tunaet pageant was beautiful to benold —she was looking toward the east, not at the shadowy sky, not at the dark, forestcrowned hills but far away down the dusty road, with her lovely, smiling, expectant eyes. The gold and crimson of sunset passed away, the dews and shade* of twilight came on-—and still Fariny stood at the window. A servant entered and lit the lamps, and, as he went out, looked buck at the fair girl with a pleasant, knowing sinile ; then Fanny's , mother came in— quietly arranged a disordered table—looked at her abstracted daughter silently, hut with a fond, proud, most motherly expression,' and passed from the room. The twilight deepened, aud the stars of « glorious June evening came out in heav. en. Fanny stdps through the open wilidow into the piazza, and bends forward, as li*- lening intently. Surely she hears the distant gallop of a horse ! Yes, now it comes across the bridge, down in the ravine— now it ascends the hill—now comes the gleam of a white horse dashing up the road, urged by an eager rider ; and Fanny Austin turns quickly, and re-enters the parlor, where she demurely seats herself at a table, aud takes up a book. , Through how many twilights during the past year had Fanny waited and watched for the coming of that milk-white ateed !— She had grown to know his gallop across the bridge as well as she knew the voice of his master. Fanny's lover lived in the oity, five miles away—and in all seasons and in all weathers came to visit his liege lady on this favorite horse, a beautiful and powerful animal. But this was the l8*t time that Fquny would wfrfch with loving anxiousness at that eastern window for the coming of the bold, impetuous rider—for to-morrow they were to bo married. A sweet ideal of early womanhood was' Fanny st that moment, with her love-radiating lace bunt over her book, of whose contents she saw not a word—with the forward full of her light, wavy hair, half shading her shy, tender, sufl blue eyes—with the tremulous pi*V of her parted lips and the vivid flushings of tier fair rounded cheek. She was dressed with childlike simplicity, in a lawn of that most delicate blue we see in Hie far sky—with flowing sleeves, hall revealing arms of faultless symmetry, tlur tfliite neck was uncovered, and, m plane of a bro-iol), alio wore at her bosom a butlch o) pttlo blue roses :— How her higli Ueaiing he-art rocked them, und shook out their perfumes ! how eloquently, how I illy, her love spoke in the rise aud full of those f.we.buds, and bathed in the fragrance they exhaled !
