yard, where naught but the warbling of
ii- the birds as they flirted from branch to
ad branch above our heads, disturbed the
serenity of the twilight hour, we plighted
our truths by the formal exchanges of
tt- rings, and vows of eternal love and con
stancy were registered in Heaven.
I wondered how Fenton Fernhold
could fancy me, when there were so
many pretty girls in our village ; for he
d, tall and and graceful,with dark clustering
curls, and deep hazel eyes-seemed to
an me a very prince.
To say that I loved him did not at all
of express my feelings-I worshiped, I
adored him. My happiness was as com
plete as mortal's can be. Time sped so
rapidly that the few intervening weeks
ere Fenton Fernhold should be obliged
to return to the city passed as though
but days. October came all too soon,
rul and brought with her the day when we
her must part.
The last good-by had been said ; the
nd last long and loving kiss had been given
and received. Oh ! that last sacred and
hallowed kiss! it still burns upon my
e., lips, though withered and cold they are
-er -almost to iciness-and thrills my soul
with new life, notwithstanding old and
od and infirm as my frame is.
Ah! ye who have given and received
to that last kiss, so full of love and confi
der dence, but to have the cup of sweet elixir
(lashed from your lips, and the bitter
le? quassia installed, know only how to
ir, syIpathize with the poor old maid who
is trying to tell her story that it may
mad serve as a beacon of light to younger and
huldsomer maidens.
er He had said when he pressed my hand
it between both his own on that ever-to-be
to, remembered morning.
"Only think, darling ! A few months
r longer, and we will have no more of
these unpleasant partings I So, cheer up!"
he added, for I was beginning to feel a
presentiment of evil. "Come, you are
nervous !" he said, noticing my despond
g ency. "The air is chilly. See you are I
shaking as though of ague ; so one more 1
d parting kiss, and I must be offto the 1
station or lose the train."
So saying, he drew my head upon his I
breast and pressed a long and loving kiss I
upon my cold lips, and a hearty "God
bless you !" was for the last time mid, and
Fenton Femnhold was gone.
Letters came often, and on Christmas
he was again with me, this time a guest I
at my father's house, and then I tried to I
laugh at my foolish fears, and with the <
new year I began to prepare for our antic- c
ipated nuptials, which event had been I
arranged to take place early in June.
It was near the close of a sultry day
in May, the clouds that gathered black n
and heavy, threatened to break forth in z
storm and thunder. I had worked hard
to finish my modest little trousseau, and, f
after having laid the last article arefully g
into my new traveling trunk, which oc- v
espied a conspicuous place in my bon- b
doir, I had partly, by way of recreation, ti
and partly on a charitable errmand,taken a Ii
run acroes the fields to Widow Cromp- a
ton's cottage, when the clouds monmet- fI
rily became denser, and I pressed my h
way hastily in hopes to reach the little t
old-fashion church, in whose ahady porch y
I meant to shelter myself from the storm. i
The big drops had just begun to fad, U
as I reached the narrow graveled walkd
leading to the okld stone step, whih
were Iartially eovered with mom It f
was now amnoet dark, and I felt a lite u
ners, s .rhen I looked 'out across the oM
chun-,'rd, and saw the many white
marble tablets standing out in bold re- a
lief from the dark background, admonish
ing us that our earthly pilgrimage is buth
a day as it were, and that there is a life s
beyond for which we must pepare, h
As I entered tbhe porch I pm ived two '

a lady dressed in elegant mourningattire.
She stood facing me. ler heavy erape i

once must have been of rare beauty, and 1p
which now would chain and faanat the Il
beholder. The hair was still very black, fu
with a rich ipurple hue, and an occasional to
thread of silhcr shone out from the hxun- mn
riant mass, and the large black eyee spaQrk- th
led lustrou.lv, whilst the long, heavy lash- sh
es swept the acutely pals cheek-all of th

ad Notwithstanding that I had bem hkd
of anted by the extraor.inary sad ngular
m- beauty of the lady, it was the gentleman
who riveted my gaze. Tall, slender, and
old with dark curling hair, he stood erect, hat
so in hand, and with just a little hauteur in
he his voice, as he said:
ng "laurea" laying his hd gently up
to on her aoulder, and slowly stooping un

I one word of sympathy, affection, nor pity
a- even ?" and his voice trembled, and a tear
so glistened in his dark hazel eye, and fell
ks upon his handsome though pale cheek.
ad "Andis it always to be thus' he again
;h asked. "And is your decision irrevoca

we "It is irrevocable," calmly replied the
proud though grief-stricken beauty.
