"What can I say to oomfort yon, dear Augustus?" and Anabel took her broth ' sr's hand ia hen and pressed it warmly ' "Nothing, my preoioug sister; auoh woe as mine is too deep for any plummet of consolation te reach. And "dear Augus tas took out his blsok-bordered handker chief and arolied it to his eves. Anabel clasped her hands despairingly, and looked tearfully at nun murmuring sympatmsingiy "roor, dear Augustus, novtneiovea neri . Augustus sighed deeply and moaned in a low tone "We were so happy to blaok-bordered handkerohief went to his eves. "My affioted brother," murmured Ana bol, "how deep the waters you are called upon to go tnrougn. Augustus shuddered, as if ha felt the wild dashings of the wares, and said in a plaintive voice "Dear Raohel, how amia ble she was!" , "Very dear Augustus." "How considerate, how devoted to me!" "0, exceedingly." , , ; "And how fine an appearance she pre sented! and he raised nis eyes to the portrait festooned with blaokorane. which delicate attention he had himself paid it that morning. Anabel too, raised her eyes, but was silent as sbe gazed upon the pictured form of the departed Raohel, so angular, so dark, and so frowing. "I don't think you ever did Raohel's charms justice Anabel. She was a lovely woman. "0, brother, I fully appreciated her, I assure you, I did," "And you do not do justice to my depth of griet Are you aware that I am a mourner forever? Poor, dear Rachel, I have lost all in losing thee!" And again the tearful eyes were raised to the grim Raohel, who looked down with an ex- Sressionon her face which said, "In eedl" There was a silence of several moments, during which Augustus looked thought fully into the fire. At length he said "Hand me my desk beside you Anabel; it will be a relief to my feelings to writs an obituary." "Don't think of it at present, dear Au gustus: you are not strong enough for it now. Only think of the trying scenes through whioh you just passed." "Hand me my desk, will you? it is a sa cred duty I owe my dead. While Augustus was engaged in this touching work, Anabel was pondering on the propriety of dispensing with the black crape folds on her new silk dress, "bo that I may where itin colors," was her inward ejaculation; "for who knows, Au gustus may marry again before 1 have cone mourning for dear Rachel!" She checked the thought "How dreadful!" Augustus, the deeply sorrowing, marry before she had time to get out of black! It was a satanio whispering surely, and grossly unjust to the disconsolate wid ower. She was roused from her sombre meditations by the voice of Augustus: "This is what I have written, dear sis tor, and if you oan offer any suggestions of a tender nature, pray do so:" . "Departed this gloomy vale of tears for a blessed home of joy, Raohel, the be-. loved and honored consort of Augustus ; Childs, Esq., and daughter ond heiress of j Peter Smidt, Esq. Beautiful and accom plished, amiable andntellectual, devont and charitable, generous, devoted, charm ing in every respect, thus has fled to an gelic oourts, amid the joyful shouts of the oherubio army, orving weloomet wel come! one who walked the earth in se raph's guise." Here Anabel gave a slight cough to oover something like a laugh, and Augus tus paused a moment and asked plaint ively, "Do yen object to anything?" "O no, by no means. It is so very touching, pray proceed."" ' "How deep the woe into whioh her nu merous friends have been plunged by her lamented absence in the realms of bliss! But their loss has been the angels' gain. But her husband, so fondly attached to this dear object what words oan depiot his overwhelming grief grief that will prove as lasting as it is deep? Bnt here we drop the curtain; too saered this woe for the common eye. Suffice it to say, he utters the sentiment of the submissive . Job-i-'The Lord hath taken away-h lessed be the name ot the Lord.' " "How pious! how touohinc! what Ba thos!',' and Anabel raised her eyes, spark- V! fll. 111 V-J ' img wuu luounuetueu ininu. "Vnn must admit R&nhnl waa no nr. jnAry woman, Anabel."

You must not talk so; Rachel would not approve of it" , "Ah! poor, dear Raohel," moaned Au gustus piteously. "Come, now, take something to sooth you. and then go to bed. Good night; don t despair; you wiu De tappy yet. Augustus answered, "Never, never, and he continued repeating like Poe dismal raven, 'Never, nevermore!' until the door olosei npon Anabel, and he was left alone with hjs everlasting Kiel, and dismally draped portrait ot the it Raohel looking down grimly fromthe wall. : On reaching her room, Anabel threw herself into a ohair, and laughed more heartily than was beooming, considering that dear Raohel had only been plaoed in her grave that morning. - "I really do believe that after all, Au gustus will die of grief. You have no idea, Myrt, how devotedly he was at taohed to dear RacheL" "Indeed!,, and Myra raised her proud, oalm eyes, and looked at her. He enjoyed such bliss with his .poor Raohel, that his married life was a perpet ual least ot neotar a sweetsi . When did he make that disoovery? A tew hours ago, dear sister-, tie is perfeotlv inconsolable, I assure you. tried my very best at soothing him, but it is of no use. He will not be oomforted but is hopelessly wretched. "Time is a powerful soother, responded Myra. Leave the work to him: he will doitmosteffeotually.no doubt As the poet expressed it "Time, that aged nurte, rocked me to patience." you don't know how dearly he loved her. He never will get over it, I assuie you he will not . How we must hare wronged him in supposing that he married Raohel for money! Oh no, it was genuine love that induced him to take for his father- in-law that vulgar, fat old plebeian, Peter SmidtEsq. And he has grown so pious, too, I know he will end it by beooming a minister: his terrible grief has turned all his thoughts heavenward. I am hancv to hear it resoonded Mvra. quietly, for they were very far from that uireoiion uoiure. Weeks progressed, bnt Augustus re mained shrouded in woe: not one ray of peace had warmed up his deadened heart tie would write on nothing Dut black-edged paper; covered every article that had belonged to dear itachei with blaok crape; shut up her chamber, and every time he nassed the dosed door shuddered as if he saw her nale chost stalling RDont; reau oar pnnceu uuiiuary at night before retiring, and paid his devotions to hor pictured form almost hourly. He kept the last pocket-handkerchief she had used carefully folded up . II i i J I i T, t in tissue paper among his shaving arti cles. His sister began to think that he would never get over it, and as to his marrying again never, never! Don't even hint at such a thing,. Ana ble, he said with horror, when she ven tured to suggest that, perhaps, one da, he might replace the lost RacheL I meant years and years off, dear Augustus, she saia almost timidly. Of course, not for twenty years', or perhaps fifteen. Hush! hush! I venerate Rachel's memory too deeply. I loved her most devotedly. Pray, never speak in this heartless strain again; it is very repulsive to my feelings. l only meant to console you, Augustus. You take a most remarkable way of administering consolation, when you know that my sorrow is as deep as the day when I buried Rachel. But von must feel so lonelv. persisted Anabel Lonelv? Have I not mv sisters and Rachel's treasured memory? No, Anabel, I oan never marry itgain. All I ask is a quiet rest beside Rachel's coffined form. How shocking ! Don't, I pray, indulge in such gloomy thoughts. i on ask me to be gay, said the dis consolate widower but you ask an im possibility, something utterly impractica ble, a state of feeling I oan never again reach. "Oh, no, Augustus, not gay that you can never be again only a little less gloomy. Don't thing about dying, and the grave, and tombstones, and all that sort of thing." "When I die, coutmued the beroft one, "you will see that I am nlaoed beside Kaohet un our tomb you will have engraved 'They were lovely in their lives, and in their deaths they were not divided.'" "Yes, brother," said Anabel, with a little hysterical sob. "You will have the last pooket hand kerohief Raohel used plaoed over my face." "Yes," replied Anabel. "My will you will find in the tin case, I have left everything to Myra and your- - . . . ... sen. "Oh, thank you, dear brother. How considerate in you!" "My death will be your gain, Anabel, and the bereaved sighed submissively. "lay precious brother, don t suggest such a thing. Butyou know I have long wished to go to Jsurope, and yonr la mented death will give me an opportunity of doing so." ' "(Jo, go, enjoy what I leave you, Anabel. The day will come when, like me, you must lie down in the dust I have heaped np riohes." "For me to enjoy! How kind in you, brother. Good bye!" And Anabel extended her hand. "What do you mean?" said Augustus, drawing back angrily. "O, I crave your pardon; I really foreot I dreamed I had read your will, and was just leaving for ifiurope. "i may live many years yet, . said Au gustus, moodily. , "Uertamiy, only l thought you were resolved to die. I began to fear you contemplated suioiae. v "I am miserable enough for anything. I Deneve i wui go to tne oiud. . "Pray do; no doubt it will help you to foriet Rachel." "I do not wish to forgot her; the heart that has truly loved never forgets.' " "0, no, Augustus, not exactly forget her, only sotten yonr grant gnei that is Mwi mrm wa 1 1 f A ' Augustus stood' ft moment and con templated the fair face of the deceased Rachel; then, as if overcome by the re membrance of the past he' snatched ud I the deeply craped hat (hat stood on the table, and wended:hia.wajuta - the ohib, too much affiiotedto stay-at tome. .

I thought " "Hush! huBh! not another word on this sad subieet" Three months passed away slowly but sadly. Raohel was in her grave, and its long shadow fell gloomily upon Augus tus s heart and hearth. A weeping wuiow had been planted over the dreary mound, ana waved its long branohes solemnly in the breeze. A few fragrant violets grew out of poor Raohel's head that is, the head 01 her grave; and at her feet a white rosebush nourished in charming laxu rianoe. It was a dainty little spot, poor Rachel's grave, and here Augustus paid a visit every time he spied the ohuroh yard gates open Here he stood on Sunday to think of Rachel, perhaps, or to 11. . i-l Kuio mure oonveuienwy ttt we giriieu beauty of Miss Tillers, as she tripped through the ohuroh-yard into the side door of the church. This last idea was nromukated bv those nroverbiallv snita ful creatures the old maids of the ohuroh, who, having lost all their youth, envy the young, and who are as orasy to get mar- aw ny iui vj no vuoj n Dio as wnvuvj, nun who tear to shreds the characters of thoir more fortunate sisters, who win in the world's lottery that prize, a husband. So said Augustus when Anabel told him of sundry remarks that had been made concerning him. .- - "But it was not an old maid that elan dorcd you, Augustus; it was a marriod lady. Mrs. Mountioy : says she has watohod you in ohuroh, and you look out ot the window with one tearful eye on Raohel's grave, whilst the other is smilingly exploring the pretty face of Miss Tillers. She even says she saw you on last Sunday gathering a bouquet from Rachel's crave, and present it to Miss Yillers as he was going into church, who, plaoing it to her Greoian nose, thanked you with her sweetest smile, little think- 5 !a It !. 1" 1 ing it smeit 01 mortality, roor. aear Rachel, I don't know how she would rel ish furnishing bouquets for her rival. I don't say this, Augustus; Mrs. Montjoy said it Don,t frown so angrily; of course I don't believe a word of it I know how devotedly attached you were to dear Ra chel, and how you planted her grave, and even took the watering pot in your hands andwatcred the plants to make them grow, and how you treasured np in tissue paper the last handkerohief she used, and how you put her bonnet on the table, and had a little railing built around it to keep profane hands away, and how touohing you draped her picture with crapo! 0, no, 1 know you will never, never marry again. Augustus was silent . Was it omniousr ' ; Four months and two weeks then a tall tombstoue reared its lofty head amid its Bister tombs in the ohuroh-yard. It was a charming devioe a stone figure bending over a stone urn, whioh urn was supposed to contain the ashes of the de parted KaoheL What is this, my dear? awaked Mr. Montioy, as he stood before the gleaming marble. Is this figure the bereaved hus band. O no. my lovo. bv no means, said Mrs Montjoy; are you not man enough to know that this is the deoeased Rachel herself, weeping over her own ashes? It is most touchingly appropriate; we wives fed it to be so, 1 assure you for if ever creatures had cause to weep for their own deaths, we are the ones. Scarcely is the turf heaped above our cold day when toe nrsc mourner at our tuneral straight way goes and forgets what manner of woman we were, Mary slins verv quietly into Jane's plaoo. and Ruth sits as comfortable in the corner of the pew as if six months Deiore Ann had not sat there before her. My dear, your remarks astonish me. If you died, 1 assure you most solemnly, I would weep for you forever. Yes, so you would, said Mrs. Montjoy, calmly; but how long, think you. is a wid ower's forever. ' O, Sarah, how little faith have you in man's love. 1 have great faith in it so lone as it lasts; but when a woman is under trround. her ohanoes are small. My dear, I protest I would not marrv were I so unfortunate as to bury you. No protestations, mv love: I do not re quire them of you. Do as you please when I am gono; I'll promise you not to haunt your new wife. There comes Miss Villers to see the tomb. How do you like it, my dear?" "0, It's lovely,oried the young lady enthu siastically. I hope when I die my hus band will treat me to just sued a tomb stone as this. No doubt, responded Mrs. Montiov. ha will treat you to this very one. Two of you oan easily get under it - The young aav no wnea ano warned away. Six months and two weeks and Augus tus and his sister sat in solemn oonolave. The ereat erief was over, the stormy billows had subsided, the olouds had passed away. The funeral meats were about to furnish a wedding feast Augus tus was going to be married. Married I AnaDel olasped her hands in inarhoulate horror, while Myra looked calmly npon the comforted widower. Did I say I would never marry again? asked Augustus, angry at these mute demonstrations of surprise. Did you not say so, dear brother? Never, never! You utterly misconceived my meaning. I wish to compliment Rachel's memory, whioh I deeply revere, and I oannot better do sd than by marry ing again. ,.,f ', (Six months and two weeksl murmured AnabeL .. .... . , ; Can a man mourn forever? asked Au gustus, indignantly.
